SECTION 2. Guarantees by Guarantors.
(a) Secured Guarantees. Subject to Section 2(i), each Guarantor, jointly and severally,
unconditionally guarantees the full and punctual payment of each Secured Obligation when due
(whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise). This is a guaranty of payment and
not of collection. The Secured Parties shall not be required to exhaust any right or remedy or
take any action against the Borrower or any other Person or any collateral. If the Borrower fails
to pay any Secured Obligation punctually in accordance with the terms of the SPV Intercompany Loan
Agreements, the Master Transaction Agreement or this Agreement, as applicable, each Guarantor
agrees that it will forthwith on demand pay the amount not so paid at the place and in the manner
specified in the relevant Secured Agreement.

Guarantee shall be unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by:

any obligation of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person under any Secured
Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise;
(ii) any modification or amendment of or supplement to any Secured Agreement;
(iii) any release, impairment, non-perfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect
security for any obligation of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person under
any Secured Agreement;
(iv) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Borrower,
any other Guarantor or any other Person or any of their respective subsidiaries, or any
insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Borrower,
any other Guarantor or any other Person or any of their assets or any resulting release or
discharge of any obligation of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person under
any Secured Agreement;
(v) the existence of any claim, set-off or other right that such Guarantor may have
at any time against the Borrower, any other Guarantor, either Secured Party or any other
Person, whether in connection with the Loan Documents or any unrelated transactions;
provided that nothing herein shall prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate
suit or compulsory counterclaim;
-9-
(vi) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Borrower, any
other Guarantor or any other Person for any reason of any Secured Agreement, or any
provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment of any
Secured Obligation by the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person; or
(vii) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Borrower, any
other Guarantor, any other party to any Secured Agreement, either Secured Party or any
other Person, or any other circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of
this clause (vii), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense to any
obligation of any Guarantor hereunder.
(c) Release of Secured Guarantees. (i) All the Secured Guarantees will be released when all
the Release Conditions are satisfied. If at any time any payment of a Secured Obligation is
rescinded or must be otherwise restored or
returned upon the insolvency or receivership of the Borrower or otherwise, the Secured
Guarantees shall be reinstated with respect thereto as though such payment had been due but not
made at such time.
(ii) If all the capital stock of a Guarantor or all or substantially all the assets
of a Guarantor or all the Designated Interests owned by a Guarantor are sold, transferred
or otherwise disposed of to a Person (other than the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries)
in a transaction permitted by this Agreement and the Master Transaction Agreement (any
such sale, a “Sale of Guarantor”), each Secured Party shall release such Guarantor from
its Secured Guarantee; provided that arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Secured
Parties and the Rights Holder have been made to apply the Net Proceeds of such Sale of
Guarantor that constitute Net Proceeds of any Collateral or Designated Interests as
required by the SPV Intercompany Loan Agreements and this Agreement.
(iii) In addition to any release required by subsection (ii), the Rights Holder, on
behalf of the Secured Parties, may release any Secured Guarantee.
(d) Waiver by Guarantors. Each Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment,
demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time
any action be taken by any Person against the Borrower, any other Guarantor and/or any other
Person.
(e) Reinstatement. Each secured Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as
the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must
otherwise be returned by the Secured Parties, including, without limitation, on the insolvency,
bankruptcy or
-10-
reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, in each case as though the payment had
not been made.
(f) Subrogation. A Guarantor that makes a payment with respect to a Secured Obligation
hereunder shall be subrogated to the rights of the relevant Secured Party against the Borrower with
respect to such payment and shall be entitled to contribution from the other Guarantors in
accordance with applicable law; provided that no Guarantor shall enforce any payment, or accept any
payment, by way of subrogation against the Borrower, or by reason of contribution against any other
guarantor of such Secured Obligation, until all the Release Conditions have been satisfied.
(g) Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any Secured Obligation
by the Borrower is stayed by reason of the insolvency or receivership of the Borrower or otherwise,
all Secured Obligations otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any Secured Agreement
shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by either Secured
Party.
(h) Continuing Guarantee. Each Secured Guarantee is a continuing guarantee, shall be binding
on the relevant Guarantor and its successors and assigns, and shall be enforceable by each Secured
Party. If all or part of the Secured Parties’ interest in any Secured Obligation is assigned or
otherwise transferred, the transferor’s rights under each Secured Guarantee, to the extent
applicable to the obligation so transferred, shall automatically be transferred with such
obligation.
(i) Limitations on Recourse.
(i) The Secured Parties shall have recourse in respect of the Secured Obligations
only (1) to the Collateral and (2) against the Borrower (x) up to an aggregate amount
equal at any time to the fair market value of the Designated Interests that are not
Collateral at such time, as reasonably determined in good faith by the AIG Board, or if
the Rights Holder on behalf of the Secured Parties contests such valuation, by an
investment banking firm of national standing designated by mutual agreement of AIG and the
Rights Holder on behalf of the Secured Parties and (y) in respect of any amounts due and
unpaid pursuant to Section 4(a); provided that the foregoing limitations shall not apply
to any claims against the Borrower for any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim
or other obligation incurred by the Secured Parties (including reasonable attorney’s fees
and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses) arising out of or in connection with (A) fraud or
intentional misrepresentation by the Borrower in connection with the Loans, or (B)
Borrower’s knowing and
-11-
intentional failure to perform its material obligations under the
Loan Documents.
(ii) The Secured Parties shall have recourse against any Guarantor only to the extent
of such Guarantor’s interests in the Collateral.
(iii) The ALICO SPV, as Secured Party, shall have no recourse to any Collateral
pledged by the AIA SPV as Guarantor in respect of the Secured Obligations until such time

Party, shall be subordinated in right of payment from the AIA SPV, as Guarantor, to the
prior payment in full of the AIA Liquidation Preference and all preferred returns earned
thereon, except (A) during any period in which the FRBNY Payoff Time shall have occurred
with respect to the AIA SPV but not with respect to the ALICO SPV, during which period the
ALICO SPV shall have recourse to any Collateral Pledged by the AIA SPV in priority of any
distribution on the AIA Preferred Units or (B) to the extent otherwise directed by the
Rights Holder.
(iv) The AIA SPV, as Secured Party, shall have no recourse to any Collateral pledged
by the ALICO SPV as Guarantor in respect of the Secured Obligations until such time as the
Junior Preferred Payment (as
defined in the ALICO SPV LLC Agreement) shall have occurred in accordance with the
terms of the ALICO SPV LLC Agreement and the AIA SPV, as Secured Party, shall be
subordinated in right of payment from the ALICO SPV, as Guarantor, to the prior payment in
full of the ALICO Liquidation Preference and all preferred returns earned thereon, except
(A) during any period in which the FRBNY Payoff Time shall have occurred with respect to
the ALICO SPV but not with respect to the AIA SPV, during which period the AIA SPV shall
have recourse to any Collateral Pledged by the ALICO SPV in priority of any distribution
on the ALICO Preferred Units or (B) to the extent otherwise directed by the Rights Holder.
(j) Limitation on Obligations of Each Guarantor. The obligations of each Guarantor under its
Secured Guarantee shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would
not render such Secured Guarantee subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of applicable law.

the extent that such rights are not prohibited to be assigned by the Borrower or the
Guarantor, as applicable, by the express terms of such contract) to sell, transfer or
otherwise dispose of the Collateral described in the foregoing clauses (i) through (vi),
including, without limitation, the rights that are expressly assignable pursuant to
Section 11.06 of the Star-Edison Purchase Agreement;
(viii) any property set forth on Schedule 2 to the extent not captured by the
foregoing clauses (i) through (vii); and
(ix) all Proceeds of the Collateral described in the foregoing clauses (i) through
(viii) other than (A) if, at the time of receipt of any Net Proceeds of the ILFC
Interests, Aggregate Liquidity is less than $6,000,000,000 or such other amount as shall
be agreed in writing by Borrower and the Rights Holder on behalf of
the Secured Parties, an
-13-
aggregate amount of such Net Proceeds not to exceed $2,000,000,000 (taking into account
any Net Proceeds of the ILFC Interests previously retained by the Borrower pursuant to
Section 4(a)) less the aggregate principal amount of any indebtedness secured by the ILFC
Interests the incurrence of which was permitted by Section 7(c) and (B) the amount of Net
Proceeds of the Star Interests or the Edison Interests, if any, that the Rights Holder, on
behalf of the Secured Parties, has agreed to permit Borrower to retain pursuant to Section
4(a);
provided that the Excluded Property is excluded from the foregoing grant of security interests.
(b) Subject to clause (d) of this Section 3, each of the AIA SPV and the ALICO SPV, in their
respective capacities as Guarantors in order to secure their respective Secured Guarantees, grants
to the other as Secured Party a continuing security interest in all the following property of such
Guarantor whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising and regardless of where
located:
(i) all Accounts;
(ii) all indebtedness for borrowed money owed by any Designated Entity;
(iii) all Documents;
(iv) all Equipment;
(v) all General Intangibles (including any Equity Interests in other Persons that do
not constitute Investment Property) except for the SPV Intercompany Loan Agreement to
which it is a party;
(vi) all Inventory;
(vii) all Securities and Instruments;
(viii) all Investment Property;
(ix) all books and records (including customer lists, credit files, computer
programs, printouts and other computer materials and records) of such Guarantor (1)
pertaining to any of its Collateral or (2) used exclusively by any Designated Entity or
its subsidiaries or otherwise relating exclusively to any Designated Entity or its
subsidiaries and required to operate such Designated Entity or its subsidiaries and not
comprised of off-the-shelf computer software which is generally available on
nondiscriminatory pricing terms;
-14-
(x) such Guarantor’s ownership interest in (1) its Controlled Securities Accounts,
(2) all Financial Assets credited to its Controlled Securities Accounts from time to time
and all Security Entitlements in respect thereof, (3) all cash held in its Controlled
Securities Accounts from time to time and (4) all other money in the possession of the
Secured Parties; and
(xi) all Proceeds of the Collateral described in the foregoing clauses (i) through
(x) and all Proceeds from the SPV Intercompany Loan Agreement to which it is a party;
provided that the Excluded Property is excluded from the foregoing grant of security interests.
(c) The Transaction Liens are granted as security only and shall not subject either Secured
Party to, or transfer or in any way affect or modify, any obligation or liability of any Pledgor
with respect to any of the Collateral or any transaction in connection therewith.
(d) If the Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over any Regulated Subsidiary determines
that a pledge of the Equity Interests of such Regulated Subsidiary hereunder constitutes or would
constitute the acquisition of or a change of control with respect to such Regulated Subsidiary or
any subsidiary thereof as to which the prior approval of such Governmental Authority was required
and not obtained or waived, then, immediately upon the relevant Pledgor’s receipt of written notice
from such Governmental Authority of such determination and without any action on the part of either
Secured Party or any other Person, such pledge shall be rendered void ab initio and of no effect,
at which time the Pledgor may cause the Regulated Subsidiary to alter its share transfer records to
reflect that the pledge has become void. Upon any such occurrence, (i) the Secured Parties shall,
at such Pledgor’s written request and expense, return all certificates representing such Equity
Interests to such Pledgor and execute and deliver such documents as such Pledgor shall reasonably
request to evidence such Pledgor’s retention of all rights in such Equity Interests and (ii) such
Pledgor, if permitted, shall promptly, and each Secured Party, if permitted, may, submit a request
to the relevant Governmental Authority for approval of the pledge of such Equity Interests by the
Pledgor hereunder, with which the Pledgor and the relevant Regulated Subsidiary shall fully
cooperate, and, upon receipt of such approval, shall forthwith deliver to the Secured Parties
certificates representing all the outstanding Equity Interests in such Regulated Subsidiary
(subject to the limitation in Section 5(e) if such Regulated Subsidiary is a Foreign Subsidiary)
to be held as Collateral hereunder.
SECTION 4. Application of Net Proceeds of Collateral and Designated Interests. The Borrower
hereby covenants and agrees with each Secured Party
-15-
and the Rights Holder that, so long as this Agreement shall remain in effect and until all
Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full, except to the extent otherwise agreed in writing
by the Rights Holder on behalf of the Secured Parties:
(a) As soon as practicable and in any case on or prior to (x) the fifth Business Day following
the receipt of cash Net Proceeds of all or any portion of the Collateral (other than any Collateral
to which either Secured Party does not have recourse at such time pursuant to Section 2(i)(iii) or
2(i)(iv)) or the Designated Interests by the Borrower or any Subsidiary that is not a Regulated
Subsidiary or a subsidiary of a Regulated Subsidiary and (y) the twentieth Business Day following
the receipt of any such cash Net Proceeds by any Regulated Subsidiary or a subsidiary of a
Regulated Subsidiary, the Borrower or any Guarantor shall apply, or cause to be applied, an amount
equal to 100% of such Net Proceeds, to satisfy the Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms
of paragraph (b) of this Section; provided, however, that (i) if, at the time of receipt of any
Net Proceeds of the ILFC Interests, Aggregate Liquidity is less than $6,000,000,000 or such other
amount as shall be agreed in writing by Borrower and the Rights Holder on behalf of the Secured
Parties, then Borrower shall be permitted to retain an aggregate amount of such Net Proceeds not to
exceed $2,000,000,000 (taking into account any Net Proceeds of the ILFC Interests previously
retained by the Borrower pursuant to this Section) less the aggregate principal amount of any
indebtedness secured by the ILFC Interests the incurrence of which was permitted by Section 7(c),
and shall not be obligated to apply or cause to be applied such amounts to satisfy the Secured
Obligations and (ii) Borrower shall be permitted to retain Net Proceeds of the Star Interests or
the Edison Interests only if, and to the extent, the Rights Holder, on behalf of the Secured
Parties, shall agree in writing to permit Borrower to retain such Net Proceeds and not to apply or
cause to be applied such amounts to satisfy the Secured Obligations.
(b) Any amounts paid on account of the Secured Obligations, including, without limitation,
amounts due pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section, any other amounts voluntarily or
involuntarily paid by the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person, and any cash Net Proceeds of
all or any part of the Collateral (other than any Collateral to which either Secured Party does not
have recourse at such time pursuant to Section 2(i)(iii) or 2(i)(iv)) generated by any Person upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, shall be applied, without
duplication, in the following order of priorities:
first, to pay any expenses incurred or assumed by the Borrower or any Guarantor in
connection with such payment (without duplication of expenses accounted for in the
determination of the Net Proceeds of such transaction) and to pay the costs of enforcement
of the Secured Parties’ rights with respect to such asset or assets, if applicable;
-16-
second, unless otherwise agreed by the Rights Holder on behalf of the Secured
Parties, to be paid to the AIA SPV and/or the ALICO SPV, pro rata in accordance with the
relative size of the outstanding AIA Liquidation Preference and the ALICO Liquidation
Preference at the time such payments are made, such amounts to be applied by the AIA SPV
and/or the ALICO SPV first to accrued but unpaid interest (including Post-Petition
Interest) on, and then to principal of, the Loans under the applicable SPV Intercompany
Loan Agreement in accordance with the applicable provisions of the relevant SPV
Intercompany Loan Agreement and second to satisfy the Borrower’s obligation to make or
caused to be made SPV Capital Contributions to the AIA SPV and/or the ALICO SPV pursuant
to Section 3.04 of the Master Transaction Agreement;
third, to pay any other amounts due under this Agreement or either SPV Intercompany
Loan Agreement; and
finally, if applicable, to pay to each 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, however, that Collateral owned by a Guarantor shall be liquidated and any proceeds
thereof shall be applied pursuant to the foregoing clauses only to the extent permitted by the
limitations in Section 2(i)(iii), 2(i)(iv) or 2(j).
SECTION 5. General Representations and Warranties. Each Pledgor represents and warrants to
each Secured Party, the UST, the FRBNY and the Rights Holder that:
(a) Such Pledgor is (i) duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of the jurisdiction identified as its jurisdiction of organization in Schedule 1, (ii) has all
requisite power and authority to own its property and assets and to carry on its business as now
conducted and as proposed to be conducted, (iii) is qualified to do business in, and is in good
standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required, except where the failure so
to qualify would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and (iv) has
the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and
each other agreement contemplated hereby to which it is or will be a party.
(b) The execution, delivery and performance by such Pledgor of this Agreement and each other
Loan Document executed and delivered by such Pledgor on the Effective Date have been duly
authorized by all requisite corporate and, if required, stockholder action and will not (i) violate
(A) any provision of law, statute, rule or regulation, or of the certificate or articles of
incorporation or other constitutive documents or by-laws of such Pledgor, (B) any order of any
-17-
Governmental Authority or (C) any provision of any indenture, agreement or other instrument to
which such Pledgor is a party or by which any of them or any of their property is or may be bound,
except, with respect to clauses (A), (B) and (C), where such violation would not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) be in conflict with, result in a breach of or
constitute (alone or with notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, or give rise to any
right to accelerate or to require the prepayment, repurchase or redemption of any obligation under
any such indenture, agreement or other instrument, except where such conflict, breach, default or
right would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, or (iii) result in
the creation or imposition of any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Collateral, whether now
owned or hereafter acquired (except a Transaction Lien).
(c) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Pledgor and constitutes a
legal, valid and binding obligation of such Pledgor enforceable against such Pledgor in accordance
with its terms, except as limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance
or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity.
(d) Schedule 2 lists all Collateral of the type described in Section 3(a) clauses (i) and (ii)
(or in the case of the AIA SPV and the ALICO SPV, in their respective capacities as Guarantors, all
Securities) owned by such Pledgor as of the Effective Date, and all Equity Interests of the AIA SPV
and the ALICO SPV owned by the Borrower as of the Effective Date. Except as set forth on Schedule
2, such Pledgor holds all such Collateral 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. 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. Except as set forth in the Star-Edison Purchase Agreement, 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 to such Pledged Equity Interest.
(f) Such Pledgor has not performed any acts that might prevent either Secured Party from
enforcing any of the provisions of the Security Documents or that would limit either 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
-18-
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 and other than
those that name the FRBNY as secured party with respect to the FRBNY Credit Facility. On the
Effective Date, all Collateral consisting of certificated securities or instruments owned by such
Pledgor and required to be delivered to the Secured Parties will have been delivered to the
Collateral Custodian in accordance with the delivery instructions provided to the Pledgor by the
Collateral Custodian free and clear of the claims of any other Person or security interest therein,
other than the Secured Parties or any other Permitted Lien and no Pledged Investment Property 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) Immediately after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the
other Transaction Documents, (i) AIG and the Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, are Solvent and
(ii) the Guarantors, on a consolidated basis, are Solvent.
(h) 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 Section 3(d), will secure all the Secured Obligations or such Pledgor’s
Secured Guarantee, as the case may be.
(i) The information set forth in Schedule 1 as to such Pledgor is correct and complete as of
the Effective Date.
(j) When UCC financing statements describing the Collateral as set forth in Section 3 hereof
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, (iii) any filings
necessary to preserve or perfect the Transaction Liens on any Designated Interest pursuant to
applicable non-U.S. law and (iv) 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 6. Further Assurances; Affirmative Covenants. Each Pledgor covenants as follows:
-19-
(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 Parties may request, in order to:
(i) create, preserve, perfect, confirm or validate the Transaction Liens on such
Pledgor’s Collateral and the priority thereof (including, without limitation, any actions
necessary to create, preserve, perfect, confirm or validate the Transaction Liens on any
Designated Interest pursuant to applicable non- U.S. law);
(ii) in the case of Pledged Investment Property, Pledged Instruments evidencing
indebtedness owed by any Designated Entity and Pledged Certificated Securities, cause each
Secured Party or the Collateral Custodian to have Control thereof;
(iii) enable the Secured Parties to obtain the full benefits of the Security
Documents; or
(iv) enable the Secured Parties to exercise and enforce any of their rights, powers
and remedies with respect to any of such Pledgor’s Collateral.
Such Pledgor authorizes the Secured Parties to execute and file such financing statements or
continuation statements in such jurisdictions with such descriptions of collateral and other
information set forth therein, as the Rights Holder, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may deem
necessary or desirable for the purposes set forth in the preceding sentence. Each Pledgor also
ratifies its authorization for the Secured Parties 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 Parties as secured parties. 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 shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) obtain any consent,
approval or non-disapproval that is required in order to prevent any of its property from falling
within the definition of “Excluded Property”, and (ii) obtain any rating agency, regulatory or
other consents,
-20-
approvals, non-disapprovals or assurances as may be necessary to permit distribution of any
Net Proceeds of any Designated Interest received by any Subsidiary that is not a Pledgor (other
than any amounts in respect of which a payment has been made pursuant to Section 4(a)) to the
Borrower or any Guarantor in compliance with applicable law and without a downgrade of the
financial strength or insurer claims-paying rating of the relevant Subsidiary or Subsidiaries, and
upon receipt of such consents, approvals, non-disapprovals or assurances, such Pledgor shall cause
such Net Proceeds to be distributed to the Borrower or a Guarantor.
(c) Without limiting anything to the contrary in the Master Transaction Agreement, the AIA SPV
LLC Agreement or the ALICO SPV LLC Agreement, 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 Parties prior
notice thereof and delivered an Opinion of Counsel with respect thereto in accordance with Section
6(f).
(d) 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.
(e) 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 the Collateral
or any part thereof or any Designated Interest; 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.
(f) At least 15 days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Rights Holder on behalf
of the Secured Parties) before it takes any action contemplated by Section 6(c), such Pledgor will,
at the Borrower’s expense, cause to be delivered to the Secured Parties an Opinion of Counsel, in
form and substance satisfactory to the Rights Holder, on behalf of the Secured Parties, 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
-21-
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 Rights Holder on behalf of the Secured Parties, such action will not adversely affect the
perfection or priority of the Transaction Lien on any Collateral currently owned or hereafter
acquired by such Pledgor after it takes such action or the accuracy of such Pledgor’s
representations and warranties herein relating to such Collateral.
(g) 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 either SPV Intercompany Loan Agreement or this Agreement and (ii) an Event of
Default shall not have occurred and be continuing under this Agreement or either SPV Intercompany
Loan Agreement. 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 on any Net Proceeds arising from such sale or
disposition) will cease immediately without any action by the Secured Parties. The Secured Parties
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.
(h) Such Pledgor will, promptly upon request, provide to the Rights Holder, on behalf of the
Secured Parties, all information and evidence concerning such Pledgor’s Collateral that the Rights
Holder may reasonably request from time to time to enable it to enforce the provisions of the
Security Documents.
(i) Promptly upon becoming aware of any default hereunder, such Pledgor will furnish to the
Secured Parties and the Rights Holder prompt written notice thereof specifying the nature and
extent thereof and the corrective action (if any) taken or proposed to be taken with respect
thereto.
SECTION 7. Negative Covenants. The Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with each Secured
Party and the Rights Holder that, so long as this Agreement shall remain in effect and until all
Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full, unless the Secured Parties and the Rights Holder
shall otherwise consent in writing, the Borrower will not, nor cause any Subsidiary to:
(a) take any action that would result in a violation of Section 8.01(a)(v) of the Master
Transaction Agreement;
(b) sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of the Collateral or any
Designated Interest if the contract to sell, transfer or otherwise
-22-
dispose of such asset or assets by its terms prohibits the assignment to the Secured Parties
by the Borrower or the relevant Guarantor, as applicable, of the General Intangibles related to any
rights to receive payments under such contract;
(c) create, incur, assume or permit to exist any Lien on all or any portion of the Collateral
or any Designated Interest, except:
(i) Liens existing on the date hereof; provided that such Liens shall secure only
those obligations that they secure on the date hereof and extensions, renewals and
replacements thereof permitted hereunder;
(ii) any Lien created hereunder;
(iii) Liens for taxes not yet due or that are being contested;
(iv) judgment Liens securing judgments not constituting an Event of Default; and
(v) Liens on the ILFC Interests securing indebtedness for borrowed money in an
aggregate principal amount not to exceed $2,000,000,000 less the aggregate amount of Net
Proceeds of the ILFC Interests retained by Borrower pursuant to Section 4(a), only if at
the time of incurrence of such indebtedness Aggregate Liquidity is less than
$6,000,000,000 or such other amount as shall be agreed in writing by Borrower and the
Rights Holder on behalf of the Secured Parties;
(d) take any action (or fail to act in any manner) that would reasonably be expected to
negatively affect the value of the Collateral or the Designated Interests; provided that, for the
avoidance of doubt, decisions made in the ordinary course of business in the exercise of the good
faith business judgment of the Borrower shall be deemed not to violate this provision; or
(e) take any action (or fail to act in any manner) that would reasonably be expected to
negatively affect the perfection of the Transaction Liens.
SECTION 8. Covenants of the AIA SPV and the ALICO SPV as Guarantors. Each of the AIA SPV
and the ALICO SPV, in their respective capacities as Guarantors, represents, warrants and covenants
to each other in their respective capacities as Secured Parties as follows:
(a) Security Entitlements. Upon the request of the Rights Holder on behalf of the Secured
Parties, the AIA SPV or the ALICO SPV, as the case may be, will, with respect to each Pledged
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
-23-
credited and will deliver such Securities Account Control Agreement to the relevant Secured
Party (which shall enter into the same). Thereafter, whenever the AIA SPV or the ALICO SPV, as the
case may be, acquires any other such Security Entitlement, such party will immediately cause the
underlying Financial Asset to be credited to a Controlled Securities Account.
(b) Perfection as to Security Entitlements. So long as the Financial Asset underlying any
Security Entitlement owned by the AIA SPV or the ALICO SPV, as the case may be, 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 Parties 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 relevant Secured Party.
(c) Agreement as to Applicable Jurisdiction. In respect of all Security Entitlements to
Securities issued by AIA Group Limited or MetLife owned by the AIA SPV or the ALICO SPV, as the
case may be, 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 State of New York.
SECTION 9. Delivery, Perfection and Control of Securities and Instruments. Each Pledgor
represents, warrants and covenants as follows:
(a) Certificated Securities. On the Effective Date, such Pledgor will deliver to the
Collateral Custodian as Collateral hereunder all certificates representing Pledged Certificated
Securities then owned by such Pledgor. Thereafter, whenever such Pledgor acquires any other
certificate representing a Pledged Certificated Security, such Pledgor will immediately deliver
such certificate to the Collateral Custodian as Collateral hereunder. The provisions of this
subsection are subject to the limitations in Section 3(d) (in the case of Equity Interests in a
Regulated Subsidiary) and Section 9(i).
(b) Uncertificated Securities Not Held in Controlled Securities Accounts. On the Effective
Date, such Pledgor will enter into (and cause the relevant issuer to enter into) an Issuer Control
Agreement in respect of each Pledged Uncertificated Security then owned by such Pledgor that is not
held in a Controlled Securities Account and deliver such Issuer Control Agreement to the Secured
Parties (which shall enter into the same). Thereafter, whenever such Pledgor acquires any other
Pledged Uncertificated Security, 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
-24-
Issuer Control Agreement to the Secured Parties (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, and Section 9(g) in the case of voting Equity Interests in a
Foreign Subsidiary.
(c) Instruments and Documents. On the Effective Date such Pledgor will, with respect to each
Pledged Instrument evidencing indebtedness for borrowed money owed by any Designated Entity then
owned by it or any other agreement memorializing or relating to such indebtedness, deliver such
Instrument or document to the Collateral Custodian as Collateral hereunder. Thereafter, whenever
such Pledgor acquires any other such Instrument, such Pledgor will, as promptly as practicable,
deliver such Instrument or document to the Secured Party as Collateral hereunder.
(d) 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
commercially reasonable 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.
(e) Perfection as to Certificated Securities. When such Pledgor delivers the certificate
representing any Pledged Certificated Security owned by it to the Collateral Custodian and complies
with Section 6(e) 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 Parties will have Control of such Pledged Certificated Security
and (iii) the Secured Parties will be protected purchasers (within the meaning of UCC Section
8-303) thereof.
(f) Perfection as to Uncertificated Securities Not Held in Controlled Securities Accounts.
When such Pledgor, the Secured Parties and the issuer of any Pledged Uncertificated Security owned
by such Pledgor that is not held in a Controlled Securities Account 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.
(g) Perfection as to Instruments. When such Pledgor delivers any Pledged Instrument owned by
it to the Collateral Custodian, the Transaction Lien on such Pledged Instrument will be perfected,
subject to no prior Liens or rights of others except Permitted Liens.
-25-
(h) Delivery of Pledged Certificates and Instruments. All Pledged Certificates and Pledged
Instruments, when delivered to the Collateral Custodian, 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 Rights Holder on
behalf of the Secured Parties.
(i) 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 or any
Equity Interests in any Transparent Subsidiary if and to the extent (but only to the extent) that
such Equity Interests are excluded from the Transaction Liens at such time pursuant to clause (ii)
and/or clause (iii) of the definition of Excluded Property.
(j) Transfer of Record Ownership. At any time when an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, the Secured Parties may (and to the extent that action by them is required, the
relevant Pledgor, if directed to do so by the Secured Parties, 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 Parties or their 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 Rights Holder on behalf of the Secured
Parties to facilitate compliance with this Section. The Secured Parties will promptly give to the
Rights Holder on behalf of the Secured Parties copies of any notices and other communications
received by the Secured Parties with respect to Pledged Securities registered in the name of the
Secured Parties or their nominee.
(k) Certification of Limited Liability Company and Partnership Interests. Any limited
liability company and any partnership the equity interests of which are Collateral 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 Collateral Custodian as required by Section 6(a) and such
Pledgor shall fulfill all other requirements under Section 6 applicable in respect thereof.
SECTION 10. Right to Vote Securities. (a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing (and, with respect to Securities issued by AIA Group Limited and owned by the AIA
SPV, unless the Rights Holder, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall have foreclosed upon such
Securities), each
-26-
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 Parties 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 a 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 Rights Holder
on behalf of the Secured Parties. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, no Secured Party will have any 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 Parties 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 Parties were the absolute and sole owner thereof, and each
Pledgor will take all such action as the Rights Holder, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may
reasonably request from time to time to give effect to such right; provided that the Secured
Parties 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 11. Events of Default. An event of default (“Event of Default”) occurs when:
(a) any representation or warranty made or deemed made in this Agreement shall prove to have
been false or misleading in any material respect when so made, deemed made or furnished, or any
representation or warranty that is qualified by materiality shall prove to have been false or
misleading in any respect when so made, deemed made or furnished; provided that if such breach of a
representation or warranty (i) has not resulted in a Material Adverse Effect and (ii) is reasonably
susceptible of cure and if cured would not reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse
Effect, then no Event of Default shall occur unless such representation or warranty shall have
continued to be materially false or misleading for a period of 10 Business Days after notice
thereof from a
-27-
Secured Party or the Rights Holder to the Borrower or knowledge thereof on the part of the
Borrower;
(b) an Event of Default (as defined in the applicable SPV Intercompany Loan Agreement) shall
occur under either SPV Intercompany Loan Agreement (for clarity, giving effect to any notice or
cure provisions contained therein);
(c) a default shall be made in the due observance or performance by the Borrower of any
covenant, condition or agreement contained in Section 7; provided that any such default arising
under Section 7(c) or 7(d) shall not give rise to an Event of Default if (i) such default did not
arise as the result of a volitional act of the Borrower, (ii) Borrower commences efforts to remedy
such default promptly following notice thereof from a Secured Party or the Rights Holder or
knowledge thereof of the Borrower and (iii) such default is remedied on or before the fifteenth day
following the earlier of such notice or knowledge;
(d) a default shall be made in the due observance or performance by the Borrower of any
covenant, condition or agreement contained herein, in either SPV Intercompany Loan Agreement or in
the Master Transaction Agreement (other than those specified in paragraph (c) above) and such
default shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 days after the earlier of (i) notice thereof
from a Secured Party or the Rights Holder to the Borrower and (ii) knowledge thereof of the
Borrower;
(e) an involuntary proceeding shall be commenced or an involuntary petition shall be filed in
a court of competent jurisdiction seeking (i) relief in respect of the Borrower or any Guarantor or
of a substantial part of the property or assets of the Borrower or any Guarantor, under Title 11 of
the United States Code, as now constituted or hereafter amended, the appointment of a trustee,
receiver, intervenor or conservator under the Resolution Authority under the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street
Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or any other federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency,
receivership or similar law, (ii) the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, sequestrator,
conservator or similar official for the Borrower or any Guarantor or for a substantial part of the
property or assets of the Borrower or any Guarantor or (iii) the winding-up or liquidation of the
Borrower; and such proceeding or petition shall continue undismissed for 60 days or an order or
decree approving or ordering any of the foregoing shall be entered;
(f) the Borrower or any Guarantor shall (i) voluntarily commence any proceeding or file any
petition seeking relief under Title 11 of the United States Code, as now constituted or hereafter
amended, the appointment of a trustee, receiver, intervenor or conservator under the Resolution
Authority under the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or any other
federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law, (ii)
-28-
consent to the institution of, or fail to contest in a timely and appropriate manner, any
proceeding or the filing of any petition described in (e) above, (iii) apply for or consent to the
appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, sequestrator, conservator or similar official for
the Borrower or any Guarantor or for a substantial part of the property or assets of the Borrower
or any Guarantor, (iv) file an answer admitting the material allegations of a petition filed
against it in any such proceeding, (v) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, (vi)
become unable, admit in writing its inability or fail generally to pay its debts as they become due
or (vii) take any action for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing;
(g) one or more judgment liens shall be entered against the Collateral and the same shall
remain undischarged for a period of 30 consecutive days during which execution shall not be
effectively stayed, or any action shall be legally taken by a judgment creditor to levy upon any
part of the Collateral and such judgment either is for (i) the payment of money in an aggregate
amount in excess of $25,000,000 or (ii) injunctive relief and would reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect;
(h) one or more judgments shall be rendered against Borrower or any Guarantor and the same
shall remain undischarged for a period of 30 consecutive days during which execution shall not be
effectively stayed, or any action shall be legally taken by a judgment creditor to levy upon assets
or properties of the Borrower to enforce any such judgment and such judgment either is for (i) the
payment of money in an aggregate amount in excess of $1,000,000,000 or (ii) injunctive relief and
could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect;
(i) any guarantee under this Agreement for any reason shall cease to be in full force and
effect (other than in accordance with its terms), or any Guarantor shall deny in writing that it
has any further liability under this Agreement (other than as a result of the discharge of such
Guarantor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement); or
(j) any security interest in all or any portion of the Collateral purported to be created by
this Agreement shall cease to be, or shall be asserted in writing by the Borrower or any Guarantor
not to be, a valid, perfected, first priority (except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Agreement or such Transaction Document) security interest.
SECTION 12. Remedies upon Event of Default. (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, the Rights Holder, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise (or cause its
agents to exercise) any or all of the remedies available to the Secured Parties under the Security
Documents.
-29-
(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Rights Holder, in each case on behalf of the Secured Parties, 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 Rights Holder on behalf of the Secured Parties 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 either 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 relevant 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 each Secured Party to sell or otherwise dispose of an Equity Interest in any Regulated
Subsidiary shall be subject to the relevant 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 and
agrees that section 31 of the Conveyancing Act shall not apply. To the maximum extent permitted by
applicable law, either Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any
such public or private 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 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 either Secured Party
(including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the
receipt of such 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 such 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. No Secured Party shall be obliged to make any sale of
Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Rights Holder, on behalf of the
Secured Parties, 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 Parties arising because the price at which
-30-
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 relevant Secured Party accepts the first offer
received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. The Rights Holder, on behalf
of the Secured Parties, 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 a Secured Party sells any of the Collateral upon credit, the Pledgors will be credited
only with payment actually made by the purchaser, received by such Secured Party and applied in
accordance with Section 4 hereof. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the
Rights Holder, on behalf of the Secured Parties, 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 Rights Holder, on behalf of the Secured Parties, to
exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement at such time as the Secured Parties shall be
lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, in the event of a foreclosure upon the
Collateral,
(i) each Pledgor hereby grants to each Designated Entity an irrevocable,
non-exclusive, fully paid-up, license to make, have made, use, sell, import, reproduce,
distribute, create derivative works of, perform and display publicly, and otherwise
exploit any Intellectual Property and books and records (including customer lists, credit
files, computer programs, printouts and other computer materials and records) used by such
Designated Entity in the operation of its business or the business of any of the
subsidiaries of such Designated Entity, 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, which license shall be
transferable, in whole or in part, in connection with any merger of such Designated Entity
or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Designated Entity;
(ii) each Pledgor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent
of any third party required to license or otherwise provide any Intellectual Property and
books and records (including customer lists, credit files, computer programs, printouts
and other computer materials and records) used by such Designated Entity in the operation
of its business or the business of any of the subsidiaries of such Designated Entity that
is not owned by such Pledgor to such Designated Entity, and if any additional royalties or
other consideration would be
-31-
payable for the grant of such rights to such Designated Entity, such Pledgor shall
provide written notice to such Designated Entity setting forth such royalty or other
consideration terms (it being understood that, in the event that any royalties or other
consideration would be payable to such third party, such Designated Entity shall have the
right (but not the obligation) to elect to obtain such rights on such terms), and all such
arrangements shall be transferable, in whole or in part, in connection with any merger of
such Designated Entity or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such
Designated Entity;
(iii) the Rights Holder, on behalf of the Secured Parties, will negotiate in good
faith a limitation of the duration of the licenses and other arrangements set forth in or
entered into pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) relating to any Intellectual
Property that is used by such Designated Entity in the operation of its business or the
business of any of the subsidiaries of such Designated Entity, taking into consideration
factors such as whether such Intellectual Property is primarily used by such Designated
Entity, the extent to which such Intellectual Property is used by other Subsidiaries and
such Designated Subsidiary’s particular requirements during a mutually agreeable
transition period following the disposition of the Designated Interests of such Designated
Subsidiary, with the understanding that the use of the trademarks “AI”, “American
International”, “AIG” and/or “American International Group, Inc.” or any derivative
thereof shall be for as short a duration as is commercially reasonable in light of the
scope of the use of such trademark by such Designated Entity;
(iv) each Pledgor agrees to negotiate in good faith any other transition services or
similar agreements necessary or desirable to enable the continued operation of the
businesses of any Designated Entity and the subsidiaries of such Designated Entity pending
and following the disposition of the Designated Interests of such Designated Entity or the
Equity Interests of any subsidiary of such Designated Entity; and
(v) Borrower agrees that for so long as the Release Conditions have not been
satisfied, it will not cause or permit any Designated Entity to waive or terminate any of
the foregoing licenses or arrangements, other than (A) as a result of a determination by
such Designated Entity that any such released or terminated license or other arrangement
is no longer necessary or desirable for the operation of its business or the business of
any of its subsidiaries and (B) with the written consent of the Rights Holder on behalf of
the Secured Parties.
(f) Each Pledgor hereby acknowledges that the sale by either Secured Party of any Collateral
pursuant to the terms hereof in compliance with the
-32-
Securities Act as well as applicable “Blue Sky” or other state securities laws may require
strict limitations as to the manner in which the relevant Secured Party or any subsequent
transferee of the Collateral may dispose thereof. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that in
order to protect the Secured Parties’ 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 no Secured
Party shall have any 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 Rights Holder, on behalf of the Secured Parties, 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 Rights Holder, on behalf
of the Secured Parties, may solicit offers to buy the Collateral or any part thereof for cash, from
a limited number of investors reasonably believed by a Secured Party to be institutional investors
or other accredited investors who might be interested in purchasing the Collateral. If a Secured
Party shall solicit such offers, then the acceptance by such Secured Party of one of the offers
shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable method of disposing of the Collateral.
(g) If either Secured Party shall determine to exercise its rights to sell all or any portion
of the Collateral pursuant to this Section, each Pledgor agrees that, upon request of such Secured
Party, such Pledgor will, at its own expense:
(i) use its best efforts to execute and deliver, and cause the relevant Subsidiaries
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 Rights Holder on behalf of the Secured Parties,
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 Rights Holder on behalf of the Secured Parties, 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 relevant Subsidiaries
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
-33-
of the Rights Holder on behalf of the Secured Parties, 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 relevant Secured Party;
(iii) cause the relevant Subsidiaries 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 opinion of the Rights Holder on behalf of the Secured Parties, 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, neither Secured Party nor the Rights Holder acting on the Secured
Parties’ behalf is under any 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 13. Fees and Expenses; Taxes. (a) The Borrower will forthwith upon demand pay to
the Secured Parties:
(i) the amount of any transfer taxes that the Secured Parties may have been required
to pay on the grant 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, that the Secured
Parties 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 Parties of
any of their rights or powers under the Security Documents; and
-34-
(iii) the amount required to indemnify the Secured Parties for, or hold them harmless
and defend them against, any loss, liability or out-of-pocket 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 Parties in connection with the Security
Documents, except to the extent that such loss, liability or out-of-pocket expense arises
from the Secured Parties’ gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or a breach of
any duty that the Secured Parties have under this Agreement (after giving effect to
Section 15 and Section 21).
Any such amount not paid to the Secured Parties 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 under the SPV Intercompany Loan Agreements.
(b) If any transfer tax, documentary stamp tax or other similar tax is payable in connection
with any transfer or other transaction required by the Security Documents, then, unless otherwise
consisting of expenses payable under Section 4(b) or accounted for in clause (ii) of the
definition of Net Proceeds, the Borrower will pay such tax and provide any required tax stamps to
the Secured Parties or as otherwise required by law.
(c) The provisions of this Section 13 shall survive repayment of the Secured Obligations.
SECTION 14. Authority to Administer Collateral. Each Pledgor irrevocably appoints the
Collateral Custodian 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 (subject to any limitation on the powers of the Secured Parties
set forth elsewhere in this Agreement) 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 Parties 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;
-35-
provided that, except in the case of Collateral that threatens to decline speedily in value or is
of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, the Collateral Custodian 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 Parties fail 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 Parties and the Collateral Custodian will
have no duty as to any Collateral in their 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 Parties and the Collateral Custodian
will be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral
in their 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 a Secured Party or the Collateral Custodian in good faith, except to
the extent that such liability arises from such Secured Party’s or the Collateral Custodian’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct.
SECTION 16. Agents and Representatives. The Secured Parties may perform any of their duties
and exercise any of their rights and powers through one or more agents appointed by it with the
consent of the Rights Holder. The Secured Parties and any such agent may perform any of their
duties and exercise any of their rights and powers through their Representatives. The exculpatory
provisions of Section 15 and this Section 16 shall apply to any such agent and to the
Representatives of the Secured Parties and any such agent.
SECTION 17. Termination of Transaction Liens; Release of Collateral.
(a) The Transaction Liens granted by each Guarantor shall terminate when its Secured
Guarantee is released pursuant to Section 2(c).
(b) The Transaction Liens granted by the Borrower shall terminate when all the Release
Conditions are satisfied.
(c) At any time before the Transaction Liens granted by the Borrower terminate, the Secured
Parties in their discretion may, at the written request of the Borrower, release any Collateral.
-36-
(d) Upon any termination of a Transaction Lien or release of Collateral, the Secured Parties
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. Notices. (a) All notices and other communications provided for herein shall be
in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service for delivery on the next
Business Day or by electronic mail or facsimile transmission, and shall be deemed to have been duly
given or made when delivered, or, in the case of notice by electronic mail or facsimile
transmission, when received, addressed as follows or to such other address as may be hereafter
notified by the respective parties hereto:

notices or communications.
(c) Any party hereto may change its address or facsimile number for notices and other

SECTION 19. No Implied Waivers; Remedies Not Exclusive. No failure by the Secured Parties
to exercise, and no delay in exercising and no course of dealing with respect to, any right or
remedy under any Security Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or
partial exercise by the Secured

assigns.

waived, amended, modified or terminated except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing
entered into by the Borrower and the Secured Parties with the consent of the Rights Holder. No
such waiver, amendment or modification shall be binding upon any Guarantor, except with its written
consent.
SECTION 22. Choice of Law. This Agreement, and the rights and obligations of the parties
hereunder, shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the
State of New York without regard to its rules of conflicts of laws, subject to applicable United
States Federal law.
SECTION 23. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY
AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT
OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
SECTION 24. 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 Parties 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 25. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute
the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any prior
agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
SECTION 26. 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. Delivery of an executed counterpart
of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or by PDF file (portable document format file)
shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
-39-
SECTION 27. 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 28. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each of the Pledgors hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction
and venue of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York for any and all
actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby (other than any claim against the UST for monetary damages in excess of
$10,000, for which each party hereto agrees to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of
the United States Court of Federal Claims), and each of the Pledgors hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and
determined in such United States District Court. 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. Nothing in this Agreement shall
affect any right that the Secured Parties may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding
relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against any Pledgor or its respective
properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(b) Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may
legally and effectively do so, any objection which 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 the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. 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 such court.
(c) Each Pledgor irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices
in Section 18. 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 29. Third-Party Beneficiary and Appointment as Agent. Each party hereto agrees that
each of the UST and the FRBNY, in each case for so long as such parties hold any AIA/ALICO
Preferred Units, and the Rights Holder is an express third-party beneficiary of this Agreement,
entitled to enforce and to enjoy all rights and privileges set out in this Agreement or either SPV
Intercompany Loan Agreement, notwithstanding that it is not a party to this Agreement or either SPV
Intercompany Loan Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall any enforcement of such
rights by the UST, the FRBNY or the Rights Holder
-40-
result in the application of Net Proceeds of the Collateral or the Designated Interests in a
manner inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement. Each Secured Party further hereby
irrevocably appoints the Rights Holder as its true and lawful attorney, with full power of
substitution, in the name of each such Secured Party or otherwise, at the Borrower’s expense, to
the extent permitted by law, to exercise on such Secured Party’s behalf any or all of the rights
and remedies available to such Secured Party (or to its agents) under this Agreement and the SPV
Intercompany Loan Agreements (including, without limitation, the right to accelerate all amounts
outstanding under the SPV Intercompany Loan Agreements) and to consent to any matter requiring the
Secured Party’s consent under this Agreement or the SPV Intercompany Loan Agreements,
notwithstanding any act or failure to act by such Secured Party and without further direction from
such Secured Party. The appointment of the Rights Holder as the attorney in fact of the Secured
Parties shall automatically terminate when all the Release Conditions are satisfied. Each party
hereto agrees that any notice effectuating the exercise of remedies of a Secured Party that is
given by the Rights Holder shall be effective as if such notice was given by such Secured Party.
Each Secured Party acknowledges that each of the UST and the FRBNY have relied on this Section 29
in entering into the Transaction Documents. Subject to the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement or
in the other Transaction Documents, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person
(other than the parties hereto and thereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted
hereunder) any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or
the other Transaction Documents.

EXHIBIT A
ISSUER CONTROL AGREEMENT
ISSUER CONTROL AGREEMENT dated as of ______, _____ among _____________ (the “Pledgor”), AIA
AURORA LLC (the “AIA SPV”) and ALICO HOLDINGS LLC (the “ALICO SPV”), each as 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, Pledge and Proceeds Application Agreement dated as of
January 14, 2011 (as such agreement may be amended and/or supplemented from time to time, the
“Pledge Agreement”), the Pledgor has granted to the Secured Parties 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 Rights Holder on behalf of the Secured Parties 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 Parties.
A-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
Parties 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 Rights Holder, the Secured Parties 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 Rights Holder on behalf
of the Secured Parties 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. |
A-2
(ii) Non-Cash Dividends and Distributions. The Issuer shall deliver to the
Collateral Custodian 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 Rights Holder and the Secured Parties 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:
(i) This Agreement is a valid and binding agreement of the Issuer enforceable in
accordance with its terms.
(ii) The Issuer has not entered into, and until the termination of this Agreement
will not enter into, any agreement with any other person relating to the Securities
pursuant to which it has agreed, or will agree, to comply with instructions (as defined in
Section 8-102 of the UCC) of such person. The Issuer has not entered into any other
agreement with the Pledgor or the Secured Parties purporting to limit or condition the
obligation of the Issuer to comply with instructions as agreed in Section 2 hereof.
Section 10. Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the
benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
Section 11. Notices. Each notice, request or other communication given to any party
hereunder shall be in writing (which term includes facsimile or other electronic transmission) and
