(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Lender on each Quarterly Payment Date and on each date on which any portion of the Commitment shall expire or be terminated as provided herein, a fee (an “Available Commitment Fee”) equal to 8.50% per annum on the daily amount of the Available Commitment during the preceding quarter (or other period commencing with the date hereof or ending with the Maturity Date or the date on which the Commitment of the Lender shall expire or be terminated). All Available Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be.

Any interest so added to the principal amount of the Loans shall bear interest as provided in this Section 2.06 from the date on which such interest has been so added. The obligation of the Borrower to pay interest shall be automatically evidenced by this Agreement or, if applicable, any promissory notes issued pursuant to this Agreement. Unless the context otherwise requires, and except for the purposes of calculating the Original Principal Amount, for all purposes hereof, references to “principal amount” of the Loans refers to the face amount of the Loans and not to gross proceeds funded hereunder and includes any interest pursuant to this Section 2.06 and Section 4.03, any Fees pursuant to Section 2.05 and any amount pursuant to Section 4.02(e) capitalized and added to the principal amount of the Loans from the date on which such interest or Fees have been so added.

Section 2.09. Voluntary Prepayment.

(f) No later than the fifth Business Day following the last Business Day of each month commencing with October 2008 (or such later month as the Lender shall determine in its sole discretion), the Borrower shall prepay outstanding Loans and accrued and unpaid interest thereon in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of Excess Cash on Hand as of the close of business on the last Business Day of such month.

(g) The Borrower shall deliver to the Lender, at the time of each prepayment required under this Section 2.10, a certificate signed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such prepayment. The Borrower shall give telephonic notice to the Lender of any proposed payment required by this Section 2.10 not less than the Required Number of Days prior to the proposed date of such prepayment; provided that (i) the Borrower shall notify the Lender of the amount of Excess Cash on Hand as of last Business Day of each month no later than the second Business Day following such last Business Day and (ii) the Borrower agrees to use good-faith efforts to provide the Lender earlier notice of such prepayments when practicable. Each such telephonic notice of prepayment shall be confirmed promptly by email to the Lender. All prepayments of Borrowings under this Section 2.10 shall be without premium or penalty.

(h) Simultaneously with any prepayment required by paragraph (b), (c) or (d) of this Section 2.10, the Commitment shall be automatically and permanently reduced by an amount equal to that portion of Net Cash Proceeds required to be applied to prepay the Original Principal Amount of Loans pursuant to such paragraphs.

(i) The gross amount of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.09 or this Section 2.10 shall be allocated between the Original Principal Amount and accrued interest on the Original Principal Amount for the period ending on the next following Quarterly Payment Date (“current interest”) as follows: The portion of the gross amount of any prepayment to be allocated to current interest will be (i) the amount of the gross prepayment times (ii) a fraction (x) the numerator of which is the amount of interest accrued on the Original Principal Amount from and including the last Quarterly Payment Date on or prior to the date the related prepayment is to be made to but not including such date of prepayment and (y) the denominator of which is the sum of the Original Principal Amount immediately prior to giving effect to such prepayment plus the amount in (ii)(x). The balance of the gross prepayment shall be applied to the Original Principal Amount. In the event any prepayment reduces the Original Principal Amount to zero, the balance of such amount shall be applied to pay the remaining principal amount of and current interest on the Loans outstanding in the manner and order as described in this paragraph. For avoidance of doubt, the amount referred to in clause (ii)(x) in the case of a prepayment on a Quarterly Payment Date will be zero, so that 100% of any prepayment on any Quarterly Payment Date will be applied pursuant to the second and third sentences of this clause(i).

Section 2.11. Payments. (a) Except as otherwise provided herein, the Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Loan or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder and under any other Loan Document not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due in immediately available Dollars, without setoff, defense or counterclaim. Each such payment

shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Lender’s discount window desk.

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on any Loan or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or Fees, if applicable.

(c) The Borrower may from time to time elect to pay all or any portion of the Fees and interest payable on any Quarterly Payment Date pursuant to Section 2.05 and Section 2.06, respectively, in cash by giving notice of such election to the Lender no later than two Business Days prior to such Quarterly Payment Date. If the Borrower makes such an election, or if at the time of such Quarterly Payment Date any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any Fees and interest payable on such Quarterly Payment Date pursuant to Section 2.05 and Section 2.06, respectively, shall be paid in accordance with paragraph (a) above, and shall not be added to the principal amount of the Loans as described in Section 2.05 and Section 2.06.

Section 2.12. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower or any other Loan Party shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower or such Loan Party shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower or such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Lender, within ten days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Lender on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or

legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by the Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Lender.

Section 3.09. Litigation; Compliance with Laws. (a) Except as set forth in the financial statements referred to in Section 3.05, there are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity or by or before any Governmental Authority now pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any business, property or rights of any such Person (i) that involve any Loan Document or the Transactions or (ii) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Neither the Borrower nor any of the Subsidiaries or any of their respective material properties or assets is in violation of, nor will the continued operation of their material properties and assets as currently conducted violate, any law, rule or regulation (including any zoning, building, Environmental Law, ordinance, code or approval or any building permits) or any restrictions of record or is in default with respect to any judgment, writ, injunction, decree or order of any Governmental Authority, where such violation or default could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.11. Margin Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used, whether directly or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately, for any purpose that entails a violation of, or that is inconsistent with, the provisions of the regulations of the Board, including Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X.

Section 3.12. Investment Company Act. None of the Borrower or any Guarantor is, and after application of the proceeds of the Loans none will be, required to register as an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Section 3.13. Tax Returns. Each of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries has filed or caused to be filed all federal, state, local and foreign tax returns or materials required to have been filed by it and has paid or caused to be paid all taxes due and payable by it and all assessments received by it, except taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as applicable, shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP.

Section 3.14. No Material Misstatements. No information, report, financial statement, exhibit or schedule furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower to the Lender in connection with the negotiation of any Loan Document or included therein or delivered pursuant thereto contained, when taken as a whole, contains or will contain any material misstatement of fact or omitted, omits or will omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were, are or will be made, not misleading; provided that to the extent any such information, report, financial statement, exhibit or schedule was based upon or constitutes a forecast or projection, the Borrower represents only that it acted in good faith and utilized assumptions reasonable at the time made (based upon accounting principles consistent with the historical audited financial statements of the Borrower) and exercised due care in the preparation of such information, report, financial statement, exhibit or schedule.

Section 3.15. Employee Benefit Plans. (a) Each of the Borrower and its ERISA Affiliates is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder as relates to each Plan. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events, could reasonably be expected to result in material liability of the Borrower or any of its ERISA Affiliates. The present value of all benefit liabilities of all underfunded Plans (determined based on the projected benefit obligation with respect to such underfunded Plans based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as

of the last annual valuation dates applicable thereto, exceed by more than $300,000,000 the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans.

(b) Each Foreign Pension Plan is in compliance in all material respects with all requirements of law applicable thereto and the respective requirements of the governing documents for such plan. With respect to each Foreign Pension Plan, none of the Borrower, its Affiliates or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents has engaged in a transaction that would subject the Borrower or any Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, to a tax or civil penalty that could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect. With respect to each Foreign Pension Plan, reserves have been established in the financial statements furnished to the Lender in respect of any unfunded liabilities in accordance with applicable law and prudent business practice or, where required, in accordance with ordinary accounting practices in the jurisdiction in which such Foreign Pension Plan is maintained. The aggregate unfunded liabilities with respect to such Foreign Pension Plans could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of the aggregate accumulated benefit liabilities of all such Foreign Pension Plans (based on those assumptions used to fund each such Foreign Pension Plan) did not, as of the last annual valuation date applicable thereto, exceed by more than $900,000,000 the fair market value of the assets held in trust under all such Foreign Pension Plans.

Section 3.16. Environmental Matters. Except with respect to any matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, neither the Borrower nor any of the Subsidiaries (i) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii) has received notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of or expects that it will incur any Environmental Liability.

Section 3.17. Labor Matters. As of the date hereof and the Closing Date, there are no material strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against the Borrower or any Subsidiary pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened. The consummation of the Transactions will not give rise to any right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining agreement to which the Borrower or any Subsidiary is bound, the termination or renegotiation of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Any payments due from the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or for which any claim may be made against the Borrower or any Subsidiary, on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the Borrower or such Subsidiary except to the extent that such nonpayment or nonaccrual relates to amounts which are, in the aggregate, immaterial.

Section 3.18. Sanctioned Persons. None of the Borrower or any Subsidiary nor, to the knowledge of the Borrower, any director, officer, agent, employee or Affiliate of the Borrower or any Subsidiary is currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department (“OFAC”); and the Borrower will not directly or indirectly use the proceeds of the Loans or otherwise make available such proceeds to any Person, for the purpose of financing the activities of any Person currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by OFAC.

Section 3.19. Insurance Licenses. No Insurance License of any Insurance Subsidiary, the loss of which individually or in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, is the subject of a proceeding for suspension or revocation. To the Borrower’s knowledge, there is no basis for such suspension or revocation, and no such suspension or revocation has been threatened by any Governmental Authority, with respect to any Insurance License, the loss of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.20. Inadequate Credit Accommodations. The Borrower is unable to secure adequate credit accommodations from other banking institutions and such credit is not available from other sources.

(p) there shall have occurred a Change in Control; then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to the Borrower described in paragraph (g) or (h) above), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Lender may take either or both of the following actions, at the same or different times: (i) terminate forthwith the Commitment and (ii) declare the Loans then outstanding to be forthwith due and payable in whole or in part, whereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued Fees and all other liabilities of the Borrower accrued hereunder and under any other Loan Document, shall become forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding; and in any event with respect to the Borrower described in paragraph (g) or (h) above, the Commitment shall automatically terminate and the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued Fees and all other liabilities of the Borrower accrued hereunder and under any other Loan Document, shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.

8.01. As agreed to among the Borrower and the Lender from time to time, notices and other communications may also be delivered by e-mail to the e-mail address of a representative of the applicable Person provided from time to time by such Person.

The Borrower may, unless directed otherwise by the Lender or unless the e-mail address referred to below has not been provided by the Lender to the Borrower, and may cause its Subsidiaries to, provide to the Lender information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents or to the Lender under Article 5, including all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials (all such communications being referred to herein collectively as “Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium that is properly identified in a format acceptable to the Lender to an e-mail address as directed by the Lender.

Section 8.02. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lender and shall survive the making by the Lender of the Loans, regardless of any investigation made by the Lender or on its behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any Fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitment has not been terminated. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the provisions of Sections 2.12, 5.11 and 8.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the termination of the Commitment, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Lender.

Section 8.03. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower and the Lender.

Section 8.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Borrower or the Lender that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns.

(b) The Lender may assign to one or more Persons all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it), pursuant to documentation acceptable to the Lender and the assignee. From and after the effective date specified in such documentation, such assignee shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by the Lender, have the rights and obligations of the Lender under this Agreement and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by the Lender, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an assignment of all or the remaining portion of the Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12 and 8.05, as well as to any Fees accrued for its account and not yet paid). Upon request, the Borrower at its expense shall execute and deliver new or replacement promissory notes to the Lender and the assignee, and shall execute and deliver any other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to give effect to such assignment and provide for the administration of this Agreement after giving effect thereto.

(c) The Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other Persons in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) the Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the participating banks or other Persons shall be entitled to the benefit of the cost protection provisions contained in Section 2.12 to the same extent as if they were the Lender, (iv) the Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Lender in connection with the Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and the Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower relating to the Loans and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other than amendments, modifications or waivers decreasing any fees payable to such participating bank or Person hereunder or the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on the Loans in which such participating

bank or Person has an interest, extending any scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest on the Loans in which such participating bank or Person has an interest, increasing or extending the Commitment in which such participating bank or Person has an interest or releasing any Guarantor (other than in connection with the sale of such Guarantor in a transaction permitted by Section 6.05) or all or substantially all of the Collateral) and (v) the Lender shall act as the Borrower’s agent for the sole purpose (subject to any other provision of this Agreement) of ensuring that any participation is in registered form for United States federal tax purposes if the Lender determines that such participation is a “registration-required obligation” as defined by the Treasury Regulations. To the extent permitted by law, each participating bank or other Person also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 8.06 as though it were the Lender.

(d) The Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 8.04, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower furnished to the Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower.

(e) The Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure extensions of credit to the Lender or in support of obligations owed by the Lender; provided that no such assignment shall release the Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee for the Lender as a party hereto.

(f) The Borrower shall not assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lender and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.

Section 8.05. Expenses; Indemnity. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with its due diligence and the financial analysis of the Borrower, the preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions hereby or thereby contemplated shall be consummated) or incurred by the Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including in each case the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel, accountants, financial advisers and other experts engaged by the Lender (including the allocated fees of in-house counsel).

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Lender and each of its Representatives (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this

Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans, (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates) or (iv) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on any property currently or formerly owned, leased, operated or used by the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or the Subsidiaries; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

(c) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(d) The provisions of this Section 8.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitment, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Lender. All amounts due under this Section 8.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor.

Section 8.06. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lender and its Affiliates are authorized, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by the Lender and its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against the obligations of such Loan Party hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, irrespective of whether or not the Lender shall have made any demand thereunder and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of the Lender under this subsection are in addition to all other rights and remedies (including other rights of set off) that the Lender may have.

Section 8.07. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 8.08. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that it would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Lender.

Section 8.09. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan or participation in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan or participation hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan or participation but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 8.09 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to the Lender in respect of other Loans or participations or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount shall have been received by the Lender.

Section 8.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any other previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents,

expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto and thereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereunder and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Representatives of the Lender) any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

Section 8.11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.11.

Section 8.12. Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect to the extent permitted by applicable law, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Section 8.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 8.03. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 8.14. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

Section 8.15. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 8.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

Section 8.16. Confidentiality. The Borrower agrees to keep confidential all non public information, including, without limitation, the Loan Documents, and other related documents provided to it by any Person pursuant to or in connection with the Loan Documents; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Borrower from disclosing any such information (a) to its Representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential), (b) upon the request or demand of any regulatory authority or quasi-regulatory authority (such as the NAIC), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or any suit, action or proceeding relating to the enforcement of its rights hereunder or thereunder, (e) with the consent of the Lender or (f) to the extent such information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 8.16; provided further that prior to any

disclosure of information pursuant to clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the proviso above, the Borrower shall notify the Lender, if legally permitted to do so, of any proposed disclosure as far in advance of such disclosure as practicable and, upon the Lender’s request, take all reasonable actions to ensure that any information disclosed is accorded confidential treatment, or if such notice to the Lender is prohibited by law, inform the relevant court, regulatory authority or quasi-regulatory authority of the Lender’s interest in the disclosed information and request that such court, regulatory authority or quasi-regulatory authority inform the Lender of the disclosure.

Section 8.17. Alternative Financing Structure. If, following the Closing Date, the Lender identifies to the Borrower an alternative financing structure which provides benefits to the Borrower equivalent to those provided under this Agreement without material detriment to the Borrower, and complies in all material respects with applicable limitations imposed by law or agreement, the Borrower will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, take such steps as the Lender may reasonably request to implement such alternative structure.

Section 8.18. Participating in Program Established by Proposed Legislation. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that, subject to the Borrower’s covenants and other provisions applicable to the Borrower in this Agreement, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries may sell assets under, and otherwise participate in, any program, facility or arrangement that may be established pursuant to legislation that may be enacted (including the legislation that has been referred to as the “Troubled Asset Relief Act of 2008”) in accordance with the terms of such program, facility or arrangement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.

(d) Schedule 2 lists all Equity Interests (excluding Excluded Property) in any Subject Issuer directly owned by such Pledgor as of the Effective Date. Schedule 3 lists, as of the Effective Date, (i) all Securities (excluding Excluded Property) issued by any Subject Issuer directly owned by such Pledgor (and not listed in Schedule 2), (ii) all Instruments (excluding Excluded Property) directly owned by such Pledgor evidencing indebtedness of any Subject Issuer in a principal amount of $50,000,000 or more and (iii) all Securities Accounts to which Financial Assets are credited in respect of which such Pledgor owns Security Entitlements to any of the foregoing investment property. Such Pledgor holds all such Equity Interests, Securities and Instruments directly (i.e., not through a Subsidiary, a Securities Intermediary, Depository Trust Company or any other Person).

(e) All Collateral owned by such Pledgor is owned by it free and clear of any Lien other than (i) the Transaction Liens and (ii) Permitted Liens. Schedule 5 lists all Permitted Liens (other than inchoate tax liens and other similar statutory liens) with respect to the Collateral consisting of Equity Interests and intercompany indebtedness existing on the date hereof. All shares of capital stock included in its Pledged Equity Interests (including shares of capital stock in respect of which such Pledgor owns a Security Entitlement) have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable. None of such Pledged Equity Interests is subject to any option to purchase or similar right of any Person. Such Pledgor is not and will not become a party to or otherwise bound by any agreement (except the Loan Documents) which restricts in any manner the rights of any present or future holder of any Pledged Equity Interest with respect thereto.

(f) Such Pledgor has not performed any acts that might prevent the Secured Party from enforcing any of the provisions of the Security Documents or that would limit the Secured Party in any such enforcement. No financing statement, security agreement, mortgage or similar or equivalent document or instrument covering all or part of the Collateral owned by such Pledgor is on file or of record in any jurisdiction in which such filing or recording would be effective to perfect or record a Lien on such Collateral, except financing statements, mortgages or other similar or equivalent documents with respect to Permitted Liens. After the Effective Date, all Collateral consisting of certificated securities or instruments owned by such Pledgor and required to be delivered to the Secured Party will have been delivered in the Secured Party in accordance with the delivery instructions provided to the Pledgor by the Secured Party free and clear of the claims of any other Person or security interest therein, other than the Secured Party or any other Permitted Lien and no Pledged Investment Property, Pledged Deposit Account or Pledged Electronic Chattel Paper owned by such Pledgor will be under the Control of any other Person having a claim thereto or a security interest therein other than a Permitted Lien.

(g) The Transaction Liens on all Collateral owned by such Pledgor (i) have been validly created, (ii) will attach to each item of such Collateral on the Effective Date (or, if such Pledgor first obtains rights thereto on a later date, on such later date) and (iii) when so attached, subject to clause (ii) of the proviso to Section 3(a), will secure all the Secured Obligations or such Pledgor’s Secured Guarantee, as the case may be.

(h) The information set forth in Schedule 1 as to such Pledgor is correct and complete as of the Effective Date.

(i) When UCC financing statements describing the Collateral as “all personal property” have been filed in the central UCC filing offices of the jurisdictions specified in Schedule 1, the Transaction Liens will constitute perfected security interests in the Collateral owned by such Pledgor to the extent that a security interest therein may be perfected by filing pursuant to the UCC, prior to all Liens and rights of others therein except Permitted Liens. Except for the filing of such (i) UCC financing statements, (ii) Intellectual Property Filings and (iii) other filings as may be necessary to limit or avoid the application of Section 3(d), no registration, recordation or filing with any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution or delivery of the Security Documents or is necessary for the validity or enforceability thereof or for the perfection or due recordation of the Transaction Liens or (except with respect to Equity Interests in any Regulated Subsidiary) for the enforcement of the Transaction Liens.

Section 5. Further Assurances; General Covenants. Each Pledgor covenants as follows:

(a) Such Pledgor will, from time to time, at the Borrower’s expense, execute, deliver, file and record any statement, assignment, instrument, document, agreement or other paper and take any other action (including any Intellectual Property Filing) that from time to time may be necessary or desirable, or that the Secured Party may request, in order to:

(i) create, preserve, perfect, confirm or validate the Transaction Liens on such Pledgor’s Collateral;

(ii) in the case of Pledged Deposit Accounts, Pledged Investment Property and Pledged Electronic Chattel Paper, cause the Secured Party to have Control thereof;

(iii) enable the Secured Party to obtain the full benefits of the Security Documents; or

(iv) enable the Secured Party to exercise and enforce any of its rights, powers and remedies with respect to any of such Pledgor’s Collateral.

Such Pledgor authorizes the Secured Party to execute and file such financing statements or continuation statements in such jurisdictions with such descriptions of collateral (including “all assets” or “all personal property” or other words to that effect) and other information set forth therein as the Secured Party may deem necessary or desirable for the purposes set forth in the preceding sentence. Each Pledgor also ratifies its authorization for the Secured Party to file in any such jurisdiction any initial financing statements or amendments thereto if filed prior to the date hereof. Each Pledgor further authorizes the Secured Party to file with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or United States Copyright Office (or any successor office or any similar office in any other country) such documents as may be necessary or advisable for the purpose of perfecting, confirming, continuing, enforcing or protecting the security interests granted by such Pledgor, without the signature of such Pledgor, and naming such Pledgor as debtor and the Secured Party as secured party. The Borrower will pay the costs of, or incidental to, any Intellectual Property Filings and any recording or filing of any financing or continuation statements or other documents recorded or filed pursuant hereto.

(b) Such Pledgor will not (i) change its name or organizational form or structure, (ii) change its location (determined as provided in UCC Section 9-307) or (iii) become bound, as provided in UCC Section 9-203(d) or otherwise, by a security agreement entered into by another Person, unless it shall have given the Secured Party prior notice thereof and delivered an Opinion of Counsel with respect thereto in accordance with Section 5(e).

(c) Such Pledgor shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its legal existence, except as otherwise expressly permitted under Section 6.05 of the Credit Agreement.

(d) Such Pledgor shall pay its indebtedness and other obligations promptly and in accordance with their terms and pay and discharge promptly when due all taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon it or upon its income or profits or in respect of its property, before the same shall become delinquent or in default, as well as all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies or otherwise that, if unpaid, might give rise to a Lien upon such properties or any part thereof; provided that such payment and discharge shall not be required with respect to any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim so long as the validity or amount thereof shall be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and the Pledgor shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP and such contest operates to suspend collection of the contested obligation, tax, assessment or charge and enforcement of a Lien.

(e) At least 30 days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Secured Party) before it takes any action contemplated by Section 5(b), such Pledgor will, at the Borrower’s expense, cause to be delivered to the Secured Party an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Secured Party, to the effect that (i) all financing statements and amendments or supplements thereto, continuation statements and other documents required to be filed or recorded in order to perfect and protect the Transaction Liens against all creditors of and purchasers of Pledged Collateral from such Pledgor after it takes such action (except any continuation statements specified in such Opinion of Counsel that are to be filed more than six months after the date thereof) have been filed or recorded in each office necessary for such purpose, (ii) all fees and taxes, if any, payable by the Pledgor in connection with such filings or recordations have been paid in full and (iii) except as otherwise agreed by the Secured Party, such action will not adversely affect the perfection or priority of the Transaction Lien on any Collateral to be owned by such Pledgor after it takes such action or the accuracy of such Pledgor’s representations and warranties herein relating to such Collateral.

(f) Such Pledgor may sell, lease, exchange, assign or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of its Collateral only to the extent that (i) doing so would not violate a covenant in the Credit Agreement and (ii) (A) an Event of Default shall not have occurred and be continuing and (B) (x) the Secured Party shall not have notified such Pledgor that its right to do so is terminated, suspended or otherwise limited or (y) the maturity of any or all of the Secured Obligations shall not have been accelerated. Concurrently with any sale, lease or other disposition (except a sale or disposition to another Pledgor or a lease) permitted by the foregoing sentence, the Transaction Liens on the assets sold or disposed of (but not in any Proceeds arising from such sale or disposition) will cease immediately without any action by the Secured Party. The Secured Party will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the relevant Pledgor such documents as such Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence the fact that any asset so sold or disposed of is no longer subject to a Transaction Lien.

(g) Such Pledgor will, promptly upon request, provide to the Secured Party all information and evidence concerning such Pledgor’s Collateral that the Secured Party may reasonably request from time to time to enable it to enforce the provisions of the Security Documents.

Section 6. Chattel Paper. Except as to actions to be taken by the Secured Party, each Pledgor represents, warrants and covenants as follows:

(a) At the request of the Secured Party, such Pledgor will as promptly as practicable deliver to the Secured Party as Collateral hereunder all Pledged Tangible Chattel Paper then owned by such Pledgor. Thereafter, whenever such Pledgor acquires any other Pledged Tangible Chattel Paper,

such Pledgor will immediately deliver such Pledged Tangible Chattel Paper or Pledged Instrument to the Secured Party as Collateral hereunder.

(b) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Secured Party will, promptly upon request by the relevant Pledgor, make appropriate arrangements for making any Pledged Tangible Chattel Paper available to it for purposes of presentation, collection or renewal (any such arrangement to be effected, to the extent deemed appropriate by the Secured Party, against trust receipt or like document).

(c) All Pledged Tangible Chattel Paper owned by such Pledgor, when delivered to the Secured Party, will be accompanied by duly executed instruments of assignment, with signatures appropriately guaranteed, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Secured Party.

(d) Each Pledgor will take (or cause others to take) all actions required under UCC Section 9-105 to cause the Secured Party to obtain and maintain Control of any and all Electronic Chattel Paper owned by such Pledgor from time to time.

Section 7. Deposit Accounts. Each Pledgor represents, warrants and covenants as follows:

(a) At the request of the Secured Party, all cash owned by such Pledgor will be deposited, upon or promptly after the receipt thereof, in one or more Controlled Deposit Accounts.

(b) So long as the Secured Party has Control of a Controlled Deposit Account, the Transaction Lien on such Controlled Deposit Account will be perfected, subject to no prior Liens or rights of others (except the Depositary Bank’s right to deduct its normal operating charges and any uncollected funds previously credited thereto).

Section 8. Delivery, Perfection and Control of Securities and Instruments. Each Pledgor represents, warrants and covenants as follows:

(a) Certificated Securities. On the Effective Date (in the case of an Original Pledgor) or the date on which it signs and delivers its first Pledge Agreement Supplement (in the case of any other Pledgor), such Pledgor will deliver to the Secured Party as Collateral hereunder all certificates representing Pledged Certificated Securities issued by any Subject Issuer then owned by such Pledgor. Thereafter, whenever such Pledgor acquires any other certificate representing a Pledged Certificated Security issued by any Subject Issuer, such Pledgor will immediately deliver such certificate to the Secured Party as Collateral hereunder. The provisions of this subsection are subject to the

limitation in Section 3(d) in the case of Equity Interests in a Regulated Subsidiary, Section 8(l) in the case of voting Equity Interests in a Foreign Subsidiary and Section 8(m) in the case of voting Equity Interests in a Designated Subsidiary.

(b) Uncertificated Securities. On the Effective Date (in the case of an Original Pledgor) or the date on which it signs and delivers its first Pledge Agreement Supplement (in the case of any other Pledgor), such Pledgor will enter into (and cause the relevant issuer to enter into) an Issuer Control Agreement in respect of each Pledged Uncertificated Security issued by any Subject Issuer then owned by such Pledgor and deliver such Issuer Control Agreement to the Secured Party (which shall enter into the same). Thereafter, whenever such Pledgor acquires any other Pledged Uncertificated Security issued by any Subject Issuer, such Pledgor will enter into (and cause the relevant issuer to enter into) an Issuer Control Agreement in respect of such Pledged Uncertificated Security and deliver such Issuer Control Agreement to the Secured Party (which shall enter into the same). The provisions of this subsection are subject to the limitation in Section 3(d) in the case of Equity Interests in a Regulated Subsidiary, Section 8(l) in the case of voting Equity Interests in a Foreign Subsidiary and Section 8(m) in the case of voting Equity Interests in a Designated Subsidiary.

(c) Security Entitlements. Upon the request of the Secured Party, such Pledgor will, with respect to each Security Entitlement then owned by it, as promptly as practicable enter into (and cause the relevant Securities Intermediary to enter into) a Securities Account Control Agreement in respect of such Security Entitlement and the Securities Account to which the underlying Financial Asset is credited and will deliver such Securities Account Control Agreement to the Secured Party (which shall enter into the same). Thereafter, whenever such Pledgor acquires any other such Security Entitlement, such Pledgor will immediately cause the underlying Financial Asset to be credited to a Controlled Securities Account.

(d) Instruments. On the Effective Date (in the case of an Original Pledgor) or the date on which it signs and delivers its first Pledge Agreement Supplement (in the case of any other Pledgor), such Pledgor will, with respect to each Pledged Instrument issued by any Subject Issuer having a principal amount of $50,000,000 or more then owned by it, deliver such Instrument to the Secured Party as Collateral hereunder. Thereafter, whenever such Pledgor acquires any other such Instrument, such Pledgor will, as promptly as practicable, deliver such Instrument to the Secured Party as Collateral hereunder.

(e) Regulated Subsidiaries. If the Collateral includes any Equity Interest in a Regulated Subsidiary that is not represented by certificates, the relevant Pledgor shall exercise its best efforts to cause such Equity Interest to be represented by certificates and, promptly upon receipt thereof, comply with clause

(a) of this Section with respect thereto. No Pledgor shall hold any Equity Interest in a Regulated Subsidiary in a Securities Account.

(f) Perfection as to Certificated Securities. When such Pledgor delivers the certificate representing any Pledged Certificated Security owned by it to the Secured Party and complies with Section 8(k) in connection with such delivery, (i) the Transaction Lien on such Pledged Certificated Security will be perfected, subject to no prior Liens or rights of others except Permitted Liens, (ii) the Secured Party will have Control of such Pledged Certificated Security and (iii) the Secured Party will be a protected purchaser (within the meaning of UCC Section 8-303) thereof.

(g) Perfection as to Uncertificated Securities. When such Pledgor, the Secured Party and the issuer of any Pledged Uncertificated Security owned by such Pledgor enter into an Issuer Control Agreement with respect thereto, (i) the Transaction Lien on such Pledged Uncertificated Security will be perfected, subject to no prior Liens or rights of others except Permitted Liens, (ii) the Secured Party will have Control of such Pledged Uncertificated Security and (iii) the Secured Party will be a protected purchaser (within the meaning of UCC Section 8-303) thereof.

(h) Perfection as to Security Entitlements. So long as the Financial Asset underlying any Security Entitlement owned by such Pledgor is credited to a Controlled Securities Account, (i) the Transaction Lien on such Security Entitlement will be perfected, subject to no prior Liens or rights of others (except Liens and rights of the relevant Securities Intermediary that are Permitted Liens), (ii) the Secured Party will have Control of such Security Entitlement and (iii) no action based on an adverse claim to such Security Entitlement or such Financial Asset, whether framed in conversion, replevin, constructive trust, equitable lien or other theory, may be asserted against the Secured Party.

(i) Agreement as to Applicable Jurisdiction. In respect of all Security Entitlements to Securities or Instruments issued by a Subject Issuer owned by such Pledgor, and all Securities Accounts to which such related Financial Assets are credited, the Securities Intermediary’s jurisdiction (determined as provided in UCC Section 8-110(e)) will at all times be located in the United States.

(j) Perfection as to Instruments. When such Pledgor delivers any Pledged Instrument owned by it to the Secured Party, the Transaction Lien on such Pledged Instrument will be perfected, subject to no prior Liens or rights of others except Permitted Liens.

(k) Delivery of Pledged Certificates and Instruments. All Pledged Certificates and Pledged Instruments, when delivered to the Secured Party, will be in suitable form for transfer by delivery, or accompanied by duly executed

instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, with signatures appropriately guaranteed, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Secured Party.

(l) Foreign Subsidiaries. A Pledgor will not be obligated to comply with the provisions of this Section at any time with respect to any voting Equity Interest in a Foreign Subsidiary if and to the extent (but only to the extent) that such voting Equity Interest is excluded from the Transaction Liens at such time pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of Excluded Property and/or the comparable provisions of one or more Pledge Agreement Supplements.

(m) Designated Subsidiaries. A Pledgor will not be obligated to comply with the provisions of this Section at any time with respect to any voting Equity Interest in a Designated Subsidiary.

(n) Transfer of Record Ownership. At any time when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Secured Party may (and to the extent that action by it is required, the relevant Pledgor, if directed to do so by the Secured Party, will as promptly as practicable) cause each of the Pledged Securities (or any portion thereof specified in such direction) to be transferred of record into the name of the Secured Party or its nominee; provided that no such action shall be taken with respect to any Equity Interest in any Regulated Subsidiary unless any and all regulatory approvals required under applicable law shall have been obtained. Each Pledgor will take any and all actions reasonably requested by the Secured Party to facilitate compliance with this Section. If the provisions of this Section are implemented, Section 8(b) shall not thereafter apply to any Pledged Security that is registered in the name of the Secured Party or its nominee. The Secured Party will promptly give to the relevant Pledgor copies of any notices and other communications received by the Secured Party with respect to Pledged Securities registered in the name of the Secured Party or its nominee.

(o) Certification of Limited Liability Company and Partnership Interests. Any limited liability company and any partnership controlled by any Pledgor shall either (a) not include in its operative documents any provision that any Equity Interests in such limited liability company or such partnership be a “security” as defined under Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code, or (b) certificate any Equity Interests in any such limited liability company or such partnership. To the extent an interest in any limited liability company or partnership controlled by any Pledgor and pledged hereunder is certificated or becomes certificated, each such certificate shall be delivered to the Secured Party as required by Section 8(a) and such Pledgor shall fulfill all other requirements under Section 8 applicable in respect thereof.

Section 9. Right to Vote Securities. (a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Pledgor will have the right, from time to time, to vote and to give consents, ratifications and waivers with respect to any

Pledged Security owned by it and the Financial Asset underlying any Pledged Security Entitlement owned by it, and the Secured Party will, upon receiving a written request from such Pledgor, deliver to such Pledgor or as specified in such request such proxies, powers of attorney, consents, ratifications and waivers in respect of any such Pledged Security that is registered in the name of the Secured Party or its nominee or any such Pledged Securities Entitlement as to which the Secured Party or its nominee is the Entitlement Holder, in each case as shall be specified in such request and be in form and substance satisfactory to the Secured Party. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Secured Party will have no right to take any action which the owner of a Pledged Partnership Interest or Pledged LLC Interest is entitled to take with respect thereto, except the right to receive payments and other distributions to the extent provided herein.

(b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Secured Party will have the exclusive right to the extent permitted by law (and, in the case of a Pledged Partnership Interest or Pledged LLC Interest, by the relevant partnership agreement, limited liability company agreement, operating agreement or other governing document) to vote, to give consents, ratifications and waivers and to take any other action with respect to the Collateral, with the same force and effect as if the Secured Party were the absolute and sole owner thereof, and each Pledgor will take all such action as the Secured Party may reasonably request from time to time to give effect to such right; provided that the Secured Party will not have the right to vote, to give consents, ratifications or waivers or to take any other action with respect to the Equity Interest in any Regulated Subsidiary, in each case to the extent that such action would require any notice to, filing with or the taking of any other action by a Governmental Authority, unless such notice, filing or action shall have been made, granted or approved.

Section 10. Rights to Distributions. (a) Any and all dividends, interest, and other cash and non-cash distributions at any time received or held by any Pledgor shall be so received or held in trust for the Secured Party, shall be segregated from other funds and property of such Pledgor and shall be forthwith delivered to the Secured Party in the same form as so received or held, with any necessary indorsements; provided that cash dividends, interest or distributions received by any Pledgor may be retained by such Pledgor in accordance with this Section.

(b) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain and not segregate or hold in trust for the Secured Party cash dividends, interest or distributions paid or distributed in respect of the Collateral.

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all rights of the Pledgors to receive and retain cash dividends, interest or

distributions shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Secured Party, which shall thereupon have the sole right to receive and retain such cash dividends, interest and distributions. The Pledgors shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Secured Party all such instructions and other instruments as the Secured Party may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling the Secured Party to receive the dividends, interest and distributions that it is entitled to receive and retain pursuant to the preceding sentence.

Section 11. Remedies upon Event of Default. (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Secured Party may exercise (or cause its agents to exercise) any or all of the remedies available to it (or to such agents) under the Security Documents.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Secured Party may exercise (i) all the rights of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not in effect in the jurisdiction where such rights are exercised) and (ii) all the powers given by section 30 of the Conveyancing Xxx 0000 of Bermuda (the “Conveyancing Act”) with respect to any Collateral and, in addition, the Secured Party may, without being required to give any notice, except as herein provided or as may be required by mandatory provisions of law, sell, or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or at any of the Secured Party’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable, irrespective of the impact of any such sales on the market price of the Collateral; provided that the right of the Secured Party to sell or otherwise dispose of an Equity Interest in any Regulated Subsidiary shall be subject to the Secured Party’s or the relevant Pledgor’s obtaining, to the extent necessary under applicable law, the prior approval of such sale or other disposition by the Governmental Authority having jurisdiction with respect to such Regulated Subsidiary; and provided, further, that the Pledgor waives its rights under section 29 of the Conveyancing Act of Bermuda and agrees that section 31 of such Conveyancing Act shall not apply). To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any such sale and shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply all of any part of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price of any Collateral payable at such sale. Upon any sale of Collateral by the Secured Party (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Secured Party or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be

obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid to the Secured Party or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal that it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. The Secured Party shall not be obliged to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Pledgor hereby waives any claim against the Secured Party arising because the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Secured Party accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. The Secured Party may disclaim any warranty, as to title or as to any other matter, in connection with such sale or other disposition, and its doing so shall not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of such sale or other disposition.

(c) If the Secured Party sells any of the Collateral upon credit, the Pledgors will be credited only with payment actually made by the purchaser, received by the Secured Party and applied in accordance with Section 12 hereof. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the Secured Party may resell the same, subject to the same rights and duties set forth herein.

(d) Notice of any such sale or other disposition shall be given to the relevant Pledgor(s) as (and if) required by Section 14.

(e) For the purpose of enabling the Secured Party to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement at such time as the Secured Party shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Pledgor hereby grants to the Secured Party an irrevocable license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Pledgor), to use, license or sublicense any of the Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Pledgor, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof. The use of such license by the Secured Party may be exercised only upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default; provided that any license, sublicense or other transaction entered into by the Secured Party in accordance herewith shall be binding upon such Pledgor notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default.

(f) Each Pledgor hereby acknowledges that the sale by the Secured Party of any Collateral pursuant to the terms hereof in compliance with the Securities Act as well as applicable “Blue Sky” or other state securities laws may require strict limitations as to the manner in which the Secured Party or any subsequent transferee of the Collateral may dispose thereof. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that in order to protect the Secured Party’s interests it may be necessary to sell the Collateral at a price less than the maximum price attainable if the sale were delayed or were made in another manner, such as a public offering under the Securities Act. Each Pledgor agrees that the Secured Party shall have no obligation to delay the sale or to register under the Securities Act in order to obtain the maximum possible price for the Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Pledgor agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Secured Party may, subject to applicable law, from time to time attempt to sell all or any part of the Collateral by a private placement, restricting the bidders and prospective purchasers to those who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for investment only and not for distribution. In doing so, the Secured Party may solicit offers to buy the Collateral or any part thereof for cash, from a limited number of investors reasonably believed by the Secured Party to be institutional investors or other accredited investors who might be interested in purchasing the Collateral. If the Secured Party shall solicit such offers, then the acceptance by the Secured Party of one of the offers shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable method of disposing of the Collateral.

(g) If the Secured Party shall determine to exercise its right to sell all or any portion of the Collateral pursuant to this Section, each Pledgor agrees that, upon request of the Secured Party, such Pledgor will, at its own expense:

(i) use its best efforts to execute and deliver, and cause the Subject Issuers and the directors and officers thereof to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and to do so or cause to be done all such other acts and things, as may be necessary or, in the opinion of the Secured Party, desirable to register such Collateral under the provisions of the Securities Act, and to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for such period as prospectuses are required by law to be furnished, and to make all amendments and supplements thereto and to the related prospectuses which, in the opinion of the Secured Party, are necessary or desirable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto;

(ii) use its best efforts to execute and deliver, and cause the Subject Issuers and the directors and officers thereof to execute and

deliver, all such instruments and documents, and to do so or cause to be done all such other acts and things, as may be necessary or, in the opinion of the Secured Party, desirable to qualify the Collateral under state securities laws or “Blue Sky” laws and to obtain all necessary approvals from relevant Governmental Authorities for the sale of the Collateral, as requested by the Secured Party;

(iii) cause the Subject Issuers to make available to their respective security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act; and

(iv) do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary or, in the Secured Party’s opinion, desirable to facilitate such sale of the Collateral or any part thereof in compliance with applicable law.

Each Pledgor acknowledges that there is no adequate remedy at law for failure by it to comply with the provisions of this Section and that such failure would not be adequately compensable in damages, and therefore agrees that its agreements contained in this Section may be specifically enforced.

Each of the Pledgors acknowledges and agrees that in exercising any rights under or with respect to the Collateral, the Secured Party is under no obligation to marshal any Collateral and may in its absolute discretion realize upon the Collateral in any order to any extent it so elects, and each Pledgor waives any right to require the marshaling of any of the Collateral.

Section 12. Application of Proceeds. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Secured Party may apply (a) any cash then held by it as Collateral and (b) the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral, in the following order of priorities:

first, to pay the expenses of such sale or other disposition, including reasonable compensation to agents of and counsel for the Secured Party, and all expenses, liabilities and advances incurred or made by the Secured Party in connection with the Security Documents;

second, to pay interest (including Post-Petition Interest) on and principal of the Loans in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement, until payment in full of all such amounts shall have been made;

third, to pay all other Secured Obligations ratably, until payment in full of all such other Secured Obligations shall have been made (or so provided for); and

finally, to pay to the relevant Pledgor, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, any surplus then remaining from the proceeds of the Collateral owned by it;

provided that Collateral owned by a Guarantor and any proceeds thereof shall be applied pursuant to the foregoing clauses first, second and third only to the extent permitted by the limitations in Section 2(i) and proviso (ii) of Section 3(a). The Secured Party may make such distributions hereunder in cash or in kind or in any combination thereof.

Section 13. Fees and Expenses; Taxes. (a) The Borrower will forthwith upon demand pay to the Secured Party:

(i) the amount of any taxes that the Secured Party may have been required to pay by reason of the Transaction Liens or to free any Collateral from any other Lien thereon other than a Permitted Lien;

(ii) the amount of any and all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including transfer taxes and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and other experts (including the allocated fees of in-house counsel), that the Secured Party may incur in connection with (x) the administration or enforcement of the Security Documents, including such expenses as are incurred to preserve the value of the Collateral or the validity, perfection, rank or value of any Transaction Lien, (y) the collection, sale or other disposition of any Collateral or (z) the exercise by the Secured Party of any of its rights or powers under the Security Documents;

(iii) the amount of any fees that the Borrower shall have agreed in writing to pay to the Secured Party and that shall have become due and payable in accordance with such written agreement; and

(iv) the amount required to indemnify the Secured Party for, or hold it harmless and defend it against, any loss, liability or expense (including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and any experts or agents appointed by it hereunder) incurred or suffered by the Secured Party in connection with the Security Documents, except to the extent that such loss, liability or expense arises from the Secured Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or a breach of any duty that the Secured Party has under this Agreement (after giving effect to Sections 15 and 22).

Any such amount not paid to the Secured Party on demand will bear interest for each day thereafter until paid at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the rate applicable to the Loans for such day.

(b) If any transfer tax, documentary stamp tax or other tax is payable in connection with any transfer or other transaction provided for in the Security Documents, the Borrower will pay such tax and provide any required tax stamps to the Secured Party or as otherwise required by law.

Section 14. Authority to Administer Collateral. Each Pledgor irrevocably appoints the Secured Party its true and lawful attorney, with full power of substitution, in the name of such Pledgor or otherwise, at the Borrower’s expense, to the extent permitted by law to exercise, at any time and from time to time while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all or any of the following powers with respect to all or any of such Pledgor’s Collateral:

(a) to demand, xxx for, collect, receive and give acquittance for any and all monies due or to become due upon or by virtue thereof,

(b) to settle, compromise, compound, prosecute or defend any action or proceeding with respect thereto,

(c) to sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of the same or the proceeds or avails thereof, as fully and effectually as if the Secured Party were the absolute owner thereof, and

(d) to extend the time of payment of any or all thereof and to make any allowance or other adjustment with reference thereto;

provided that, except in the case of Collateral that is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, the Secured Party will give the relevant Pledgor at least ten days’ prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale thereof or the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition thereof will be made. Any such notice shall (i) contain the information specified in UCC Section 9-613, (ii) be Authenticated and (iii) be sent to the parties required to be notified pursuant to UCC Section 9-611(c); provided that, if the Secured Party fails to comply with this sentence in any respect, its liability for such failure shall be limited to the liability (if any) imposed on it as a matter of law under the UCC.

Section 15. Limitation on Duty in Respect of Collateral. Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody and preservation thereof, the Secured

Party will have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income therefrom or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. The Secured Party will be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession or control if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property, and will not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of any act or omission of any agent or bailee selected by the Secured Party in good faith, except to the extent that such liability arises from the Secured Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 16. Agents and Representatives. The Secured Party may perform any of its duties and exercise any of its rights and powers through one or more agents appointed by it. The Secured Party and any such agent may perform any of its duties and exercise any of its rights and powers through its Representatives. The exculpatory provisions of Section 15 and this Section shall apply to any such agent and to the Representatives of the Secured Party and any such agent.

(c) The Transaction Lien granted by the Borrower in 34% of the voting Equity Interest of AIG Life Holdings (International) LLC shall terminate on September 29, 2008 automatically and without further action by any party hereto.

(d) At any time before the Transaction Liens granted by the Borrower terminate, the Secured Party in its discretion may, at the written request of the Borrower, release any Collateral.

(e) Upon any termination of a Transaction Lien or release of Collateral, the Secured Party will, at the expense of the relevant Pledgor, execute and deliver to such Pledgor such documents as such Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence the termination of such Transaction Lien or the release of such Collateral, as the case may be.

Section 18. Additional Guarantors and Pledgors. (a) If, after the Effective Date (i) any additional Subsidiary is formed or acquired or (ii) any existing Subsidiary ceases to be an Excluded Subsidiary or a Foreign Subsidiary, the Borrower will, within three Business Days after such Subsidiary is formed or acquired, notify the Secured Party thereof and, subject to the proviso to Section

3(a) and to Section 3(d), cause any Equity Interest in or indebtedness of such Subsidiary owned by or on behalf of any Pledgor to be added to the Collateral. If such Subsidiary is or subsequently becomes a Material Domestic Subsidiary, is not an Excluded Subsidiary and is not prohibited by applicable law or regulation from, and does not require a filing with, notice to, or consent of a Governmental Authority prior to, guaranteeing the Secured Obligations, the Borrower shall promptly cause such Subsidiary to become a “Guarantor” and “Pledgor” pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 18.

Section 24. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY SECURITY DOCUMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

Section 25. Severability. If any provision of any Security Document is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) the other provisions of the Security Documents shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and shall be liberally construed in favor of the Secured Party in order to carry out the intentions of the parties thereto as nearly as may be possible, and (ii) the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision in such jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability thereof in any other jurisdiction.

Section 26. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof.

Section 27. Counterparts.

Each of the Pledgors agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

Each Pledgor hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(c) Each Pledgor irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 19. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

Section 30. Confidentiality.

enforcement of its rights hereunder or thereunder, (e) with the consent of the Secured Party or (f) to the extent such information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 30; provided that, pursuant to clauses (b), (c) and (d) above, prior to any disclosure of such information, the Pledgor shall notify the Secured Party, if legally permitted to do so, of any proposed disclosure as far in advance of such disclosure as practicable and, upon the Secured Party’s request, take all reasonable actions to ensure that any information disclosed is accorded confidential treatment, or if such notice to the Secured Party is prohibited by law, inform the relevant court, regulatory authority or quasi-regulatory authority of the Secured Party’s interest in the disclosed information and request that such court, regulatory authority or quasi-regulatory authority inform the Secured Party of the disclosure.

Section 31. Effect of Agreement. This Agreement amends and restates the Demand Note Security Agreements. The Liens and security interests granted by the Borrower thereunder are and shall continue to be in full force and effect hereunder without interruption or lapse.

ISSUER CONTROL AGREEMENT

ISSUER CONTROL AGREEMENT dated as of ___, ___among ___(the “Pledgor”), FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF NEW YORK (the “Secured Party”), and ___(the “Issuer”). All references herein to the “UCC” refer to the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in [Issuer’s jurisdiction of incorporation].

W I T N E S S E T H :

WHEREAS, the Pledgor is the registered holder of [specify Pledged Uncertificated Securities issued by the Issuer] issued by the Issuer (the “Securities”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to a Guarantee and Pledge Agreement dated as of September 22, 2008 (as such agreement may be amended and/or supplemented from time to time, the “Pledge Agreement”), the Pledgor has granted to the Secured Party a continuing security interest (the “Transaction Lien”) in all right, title and interest of the Pledgor in, to and under the Securities, whether now existing or hereafter arising; and

WHEREAS, the parties hereto are entering into this Agreement in order to perfect the Transaction Lien on the Securities;

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Section 1. Nature of Securities. The Issuer confirms that (i) the Securities are “uncertificated securities” (as defined in Section 8-102 of the UCC) and (ii) the Pledgor is registered on the books of the Issuer as the registered holder of the Securities.

Section 2. Instructions. The Issuer agrees to comply with any “instruction” (as defined in Section 8-102 of the UCC) originated by the Secured Party and relating to the Securities without further consent by the Pledgor or any other person. The Pledgor consents to the foregoing agreement by the Issuer.

Section 3. Waiver of Lien; Waiver of Set-off. The Issuer waives any security interest, lien or right of set-off that it may now have or hereafter acquire in or with respect to the Securities. The Issuer’s obligations in respect of the Securities will not be subject to deduction, set-off or any other right in favor of any person other than the Secured Party.

B-1

Section 4. Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of [Issuer’s jurisdiction of incorporation].¹

Section 5. Conflict with Other Agreements. There is no agreement (except this Agreement) between the Issuer and the Pledgor with respect to the Securities [except for [identify any existing other agreements] (the “Existing Other Agreements”)]. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement (or any portion hereof) and any other agreement [(including any Existing Other Agreement)] between the Issuer and the Pledgor with respect to the Securities, whether now existing or hereafter entered into, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.

Section 6. Amendments. No amendment or modification of this Agreement or waiver of any right hereunder shall be binding on any party hereto unless it is in writing and is signed by all the parties hereto.

Section 7. Notice of Adverse Claims. Except for the claims and interests of the Secured Party and the Pledgor in the Securities, the Issuer does not know of any claim to, or interest in, the Securities. If any person asserts any lien, encumbrance or adverse claim (including any writ, garnishment, judgment, attachment, execution or similar process) against the Securities, the Issuer will promptly notify the Secured Party and the Pledgor thereof.

Section 8. Maintenance of Securities. In addition to, and not in lieu of, the obligation of the Issuer to honor instructions as agreed in Section 2 hereof, the Issuer agrees as follows:

(i) Pledgor Instructions; Notice of Exclusive Control. So long as the Issuer has not received a Notice of Exclusive Control (as defined below), the Issuer may comply with instructions of the Pledgor or any duly authorized agent of the Pledgor in respect of the Securities. After the Issuer receives a written notice from the Secured Party that it is exercising exclusive control over the Securities (a “Notice of Exclusive Control”), the Issuer will cease complying with instructions of the Pledgor or any of its agents.


¹		If the Issuer’s jurisdiction of incorporation is not a State in the United States that has adopted the revisions to Articles 8 and 9 of the UCC promulgated in 1994, this form of Issuer Control Agreement may not be appropriate. It may be necessary to transfer the relevant securities into the Secured Party’s name to obtain comparable results under the laws of such jurisdiction.

B-2

(ii) Non-Cash Dividends and Distributions. The Issuer shall deliver to the Secured Party all non-cash dividends, interest and other non-cash distributions paid or made upon or with respect to the Securities.

(iii) Voting Rights. Until the Issuer receives a Notice of Exclusive Control, the Pledgor shall be entitled to direct the Issuer with respect to voting the Securities.

(iv) Statements and Confirmations. The Issuer will promptly send copies of all statements and other correspondence concerning the Securities simultaneously to each of the Pledgor and the Secured Party at their respective addresses specified in Section 11 hereof.

(v) Tax Reporting. All items of income, gain, expense and loss recognized in respect of the Securities shall be reported to the Internal Revenue Service and all state and local taxing authorities under the name and taxpayer identification number of the Pledgor.

Section 9. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Issuer. The Issuer makes the following representations, warranties and covenants:

FORM OF AFFILIATE SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT

Section 1 . Agreement to Subordinate. [INSERT NAME OF BORROWER]’s (the “Company”) obligations to [INSERT NAME OF LENDER] (the “Subordinated Lender”) under this [INSERT NAME OF DOCUMENT] (the “Subordinated Obligations”) are subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this [Note/Instrument], to the prior payment of all Senior Debt. “Senior Debt” means the Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement dated as of September [_], 2008 (as in effect from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) between American International Group, Inc. and Federal Reserve Bank of New York (in such capacity, the “Lender”), and “Senior Lender” means the holder from time to time of the Senior Debt. The subordination provisions of this [Note/Instrument] are for the benefit of and enforceable by the Senior Lender or its designated representatives.

Section 2 . Liquidation, Dissolution, Bankruptcy. Upon any payment or distribution of the assets of the Company to creditors upon a total or partial liquidation or a total or partial dissolution of the Company or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to the Company or its property:

(1) the Senior Lender is entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all Senior Debt, including all interest accrued or accruing on the Senior Debt after the commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or similar case or proceeding at the contract rate (including, without limitation, any contract rate applicable upon default) specified in the Credit Agreement, whether or not the claim for the interest is allowed or allowable as a claim in the case or proceeding with respect to the Senior Debt (only such payment constituting “payment in full”) before the Subordinated Lender will be entitled to receive any payment of principal of or interest on the Subordinated Obligations; and

(2) until the Senior Debt is paid in full, any payment or distribution to which the Subordinated Lender would be entitled but for these subordination provisions shall instead be made to the Senior Lender as its interests may appear.

Section 3 . Default on Senior Debt. Except with the written consent of, or upon demand by, the Lender, the Company shall not pay any Subordinated Obligations and the Subordinated Lender shall not take or receive from the Company, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, including, without limitation, from or by way of collateral, payment of all or any of the Subordinated Obligations if, at the time, (i) the maturity of some or all of the Senior Debt shall have been accelerated or

(ii) any Default (as defined under the Credit Agreement) has occurred or is continuing and (in the case of this clause (ii)) the Lender shall have given notice to the Borrower prohibiting such payment.

Section 4 . When Distribution Must Be Paid Over. If a payment or other distribution is made to the Subordinated Lender that because of these subordination provisions should not have been made to it, the Subordinated Lender shall hold it in trust for the Senior Lender and pay it over to the Senior Lender as its interests may appear.

Section 5 . Subrogation. A distribution made under these subordination provisions to the Senior Lender which otherwise would have been made to the Subordinated Lender is not, as between the Company and the Subordinated Lender, a payment by the Company on the Senior Debt. After all Senior Debt is paid in full and until the Subordinated Obligations are paid in full, the Subordinated Lender will be subrogated to the rights of the Senior Lender to receive payments in respect of the Senior Debt.

Section 6 . Relative Rights; Subordination Not to Prevent Events of Default or Limit Right to Accelerate. These subordination provisions define the relative rights of the Subordinated Lender and the Senior Lender and do not impair, as between the Company and the Subordinated Lender, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of and interest on the Subordinated Obligations in accordance with their terms; provided that so long as any Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) has occurred and is continuing, the Subordinated Lender shall not be entitled to, and waives its right to, accelerate the maturity of the Subordinated Obligations upon an Event of Default under this [Note/Instrument] or exercise any remedies upon an Event of Default under this [Note/Instrument]. The failure to make a payment on the Subordinated Obligations by reason of these subordination provisions does not prevent the occurrence of a Default under this [Note/Instrument].

Section 7 . Subordinated Lender Entitled to Rely. For the purpose of ascertaining the outstanding amount of the Senior Debt, the Senior Lender, and all other information relevant to making any payment or distribution to the Senior Lender pursuant hereto, the Subordinated Lender is entitled to rely upon an order or decree of a court or competent jurisdiction in which any proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 2 above are pending, a certificate of the liquidating trustee or other person making a payment or distribution to the Subordinated Lender, or information provided by the Senior Lender or the Lender.

Section 8 . Subordination May Not Be Impaired By Company. No right of the Senior Lender to enforce the subordination of the Subordinated Obligations will be impaired by any act or failure to act by the Company or by its failure to comply with the provisions hereunder.

Section 9 . Reliance by Senior Lender on Subordination Provisions; No Waiver. (a) The Subordinated Lender acknowledges and agrees that these subordination provisions are, and are intended to be, an inducement and a consideration to the Senior Lender, whether the Senior Debt was created or acquired before or after the incurrence of the Subordinated Obligations, to acquire or to hold the Senior Debt, and the Senior Lender will be deemed conclusively to have relied on these subordination provisions in acquiring and holding such Senior Debt.

(b) The Senior Lender may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Subordinated Lender, without incurring any liability or responsibility to the Subordinated Lender, and without impairing the rights of the Senior Lender under these subordination provisions, do any of the following:

(1) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, the Senior Debt or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which the Senior Debt is outstanding or secured;

(2) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing the Senior Debt;

(3) release any person liable in any manner for the payment of the Senior Debt; or

(4) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Company and any other person.
