by the Seller, second, by delivery of any cash and such Liquidation Cash Proceeds
then held in the Indemnification Collateral Account, plus such number of Equity
Units held in the Indemnification Collateral Account the Fair Value of which equals

with such cash payment by the Seller; provided, further, that, in the event the

pledges to Secured Party (for its own benefit and the benefit of the other Acquiror Indemnified
Parties), and grants to Secured Party (for its own benefit and the benefit of the other Acquiror
Indemnified Parties) a security interest in, the Indemnification Collateral. For the protection of
such security interest and pledge and as further security for the Obligations, Pledgor also pledges
to Pledge Collateral Agent for the benefit of Secured Party, and grants to Pledge Collateral Agent
for the benefit of Secured Party a security interest in, the Pledge Collateral.
7
SECTION 2.2 Financing Statements. Pledgor agrees to take all actions which may be necessary
or advisable under all applicable laws to perfect the security interests created and granted by
this Agreement in favor of Secured Party (for its own benefit and the benefit of the other Acquiror
Indemnified Parties) and Pledge Collateral Agent against Pledgor, to ensure that the security
interest of Secured Party (for its own benefit and the benefit of the other Acquiror Indemnified
Parties) in the Indemnification Collateral is a first priority lien, senior and prior in right of
claim to any creditors claiming an interest in and to the Indemnification Collateral (except as
provided below with respect to the Pledge Collateral), and to ensure that the security interest of
Secured Party (for its own benefit and the benefit of the other Acquiror Indemnified Parties) in
the Pledge Collateral granted to Pledge Collateral Agent for the benefit of Secured Party (for its
own benefit and the benefit of the other Acquiror Indemnified Parties) pursuant to this Agreement
for the purpose of securing the Obligations ranks pari passu with the security interest in the
Pledge Collateral granted to Collateral Agent pursuant to the Pledge Agreement for the benefit of
Secured Party. In furtherance thereof, Pledgor hereby authorizes the Secured Party to record and
file with the appropriate filing office, at Pledgor’s own expense, UCC-1 financing statements
(including any continuation statements with respect to such financing statements when applicable)
with respect to the security interests in the Indemnification Collateral and the Pledge Collateral
granted to Secured Party (for its own benefit and the benefit of the other Acquiror Indemnified
Parties) and Pledge Collateral Agent, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, and Secured Party
shall deliver a file-stamped copy of such financing statements or continuation statements to
Pledgor. Secured Party hereby acknowledges on its own behalf and on behalf of the other Acquiror
Indemnified Parties that portions of the Pledge Collateral are subject to the lien created under,
and the rights in favor of the Collateral Agent granted by, the terms of the Pledge Agreement and
agrees (i) not to exercise any of its remedies hereunder with respect to any Common Equity Unit
that is not a Pledged Unit and (ii) not to take any action under this Agreement with respect to the
Pledge Collateral relating to any Pledged Unit with respect to which its remedies hereunder are not
being exercised.
SECTION 2.3 Satisfaction of Obligation to Transfer Collateral. Pledgor will be required to
deliver Indemnification Collateral as follows: (i) in the case of cash, payment or delivery to the
Indemnification Collateral Account; (ii) in the case of certificated securities that cannot be
delivered by book-entry, delivery in appropriate physical form to Securities Intermediary
accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer properly completed and executed in blank;
(iii) in the case of securities that can be delivered in book-entry form, the giving of written
instructions to the issuer or the appropriate securities intermediary sufficient if complied with
to result in a legally effective transfer of the relevant interest to Securities Intermediary; and
(iv) in the case of uncertificated securities that cannot be delivered in book-entry form, the
giving of instructions to the issuer or its transfer agent sufficient if complied with to result in
a legally effective transfer of the relevant interest to the Securities Intermediary. In the case
of Pledge Collateral, Stock Purchase Contract Agent, Pledgor, Secured Party, Securities
Intermediary and Pledge Collateral Agent agree to take such actions as may be necessary to ensure
that the Pledge Collateral required to be credited to the Pledge Collateral Accounts under the
Pledge Agreement is properly so credited in the manner required by the Pledge Agreement.
SECTION 2.4 Name and Address of Pledgor. Pledgor represents that its exact legal name is
ALICO Holdings LLC and that it is a Delaware limited liability company and its mailing

Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000. Pledgor covenants with Secured Party (for its own benefit and the benefit of
the other Acquiror Indemnified Parties) as follows:
(i) without providing at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Secured Party (or such
shorter period as may be agreed at any time by Secured Party in writing), it will not change its
name or its mailing address, and
(ii) without the prior written consent of Secured Party, not to be unreasonably withheld, it
will not change its type of organization, jurisdiction of organization or other legal structure.
SECTION 2.5 Secured Party and Pledge Collateral Agent May Perform. If Pledgor fails to
perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, Secured Party may itself perform, or cause
performance of, such obligations with respect to the Indemnification Collateral, and Pledge
Collateral Agent, pursuant to instructions from Secured Party, may itself perform, or cause
performance of, such obligations with respect to the Pledge Collateral, and the expense of Secured
Party or Pledge Collateral Agent incurred in connection with such performance shall be payable by
Pledgor.
SECTION 2.6 Secured Party and Pledge Collateral Agent Appointed Attorneys-in-Fact. Pledgor
hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Secured Party, Pledge Collateral Agent and any officer
or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorneys-in-fact with
full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Pledgor or in Secured Party’s or
Pledge Collateral Agent’s own name (but for the benefit of Secured Party and the other Acquiror
Indemnified Parties), for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and
all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments that may be necessary
or useful to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, taking any
action which may be necessary in any applicable jurisdiction to perfect and to maintain the
perfection and priority of Secured Party’s interest in the Indemnification Collateral Account and
the Indemnification Collateral and Pledge Collateral Agent’s security interest (for the benefit of
Secured Party and the other Acquiror Indemnified Parties) in the Pledge Collateral and the Pledge
Collateral Accounts, including, without limitation, the filing of any financing and continuation
statements in any applicable jurisdiction and to take any action and to execute any instrument,
representing any dividend, interest payment or other distribution in respect of the Indemnification
Collateral or the Pledge Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same as
Secured Party or Pledge Collateral Agent (for the benefit of Secured Party and the other Acquiror
Indemnified Parties) may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purpose of this Agreement.
To the extent permitted by law, Pledgor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do
or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest
and is irrevocable.
SECTION 2.7 Taxes. Pledgor will include all income and gain, including any accrued income or
gain, to the extent any such income or gain is required to be taken into account for Tax purposes
pursuant to applicable Tax Law, on or with respect to the Eligible Collateral and Indemnification
Collateral held in the Indemnification Collateral Account and the Pledge Collateral held in any
Pledge Collateral Account including all gains, dividends, interest,
9
proceeds, returns and other amounts (such amounts, the “Includible Amounts”) in Pledgor’s
gross income for federal, state, local and other Tax purposes, whether or not the Includible
Amounts have been distributed, and the Includible Amounts shall be reported, as and to the extent
required by Law, by the Securities Intermediary and Pledge Collateral Agent to the IRS, or any
other relevant Tax Authority, on IRS Form 1099 or 1042S (or other appropriate form) as income and
gain earned by the Pledgor, and Pledgor shall duly pay any Taxes resulting therefrom. Any other
Tax Returns required to be filed will be prepared and filed by Pledgor with the IRS and any other
relevant Tax Authority as required by law. Pledgor shall indemnify the Secured Party against any
and all Taxes relating to the Eligible Collateral, Indemnification Collateral or Pledge Collateral,
including all Taxes imposed on a Secured Party to the extent that the Secured Party is required by
applicable Tax Law (including section 468B of the Code and any temporary or final regulations
issued thereunder) to include any Includible Amounts in the Secured Party’s gross income for
federal, state, local or other Tax purposes and all Taxes resulting from the disposition or
transfer of the Eligible Collateral, Indemnification Collateral or Pledge Collateral (including any
transfer or disposition that is made in order to satisfy the payment of an Unpaid Obligation
Amount), and Pledgor’s right to indemnity with respect to such Taxes shall be considered an Unpaid
Obligation Amount for purposes of this Agreement. The Securities Intermediary and the Pledge
Collateral Agent are holding the Indemnification Collateral Account and the Pledge Collateral
Accounts for the benefit of the Secured Party and not for their own account. Pledgor shall pay or
reimburse the Stock Purchase Contract Agent, the Pledge Collateral Agent and the Securities
Intermediary upon request for any transfer taxes or other taxes relating to the Indemnification
Collateral or the Pledge Collateral incurred in connection herewith and shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Stock Purchase Contract Agent, the Pledge Collateral Agent and the Securities
Intermediary from any amounts that they are obligated to pay in the way of such taxes. Any
payments of income from the Indemnification Account or the Pledge Collateral Accounts shall be
subject to withholding regulations then in force with respect to United States taxes. The Pledgor
shall provide the Stock Purchase Contract Agent, the Pledge Collateral Agent and the Securities
Intermediary with appropriate W-9 forms for tax identification number certifications, or W-8 forms
for non-resident alien certifications. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Pledgor shall be
entitled to any interest earnings in the Indemnification Account and the Pledge Collateral
Accounts. It is understood that the Pledge Collateral Agent and the Securities Intermediary shall
only be responsible for income reporting with respect to income earned on the Pledge Collateral
Accounts and the Indemnification Account and will not be responsible for any other reporting. This
paragraph shall survive notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement or the resignation or
removal of the Stock Purchase Contract Agent, the Pledge Collateral Agent or the Securities
Intermediary.
SECTION 2.8 Voting Rights. Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and
other consensual rights, if any, pertaining to the Indemnification Collateral, the Pledge
Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose, subject to the limitations set forth in the Amended
Investor Rights Agreement. Neither Pledge Collateral Agent nor Securities Intermediary shall have
any obligation to or responsibilities with respect to the exercise of voting or any other
consensual rights pertaining to the Indemnification Collateral, the Pledge Collateral or any part
thereof.
SECTION 2.9 Ability to Enforce Collateral. In accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
the Indemnification Provisions and the Ancillary Agreements, from time to time,
10
Secured Party may determine that it or any of the other Acquiror Indemnified Parties is owed
an amount in respect of the Obligations, which amount may be equal in value to all or any part of
the amount to the credit of the Indemnification Collateral Account. In such event, which may occur
multiple times as provided in the agreements or provisions constituting the Obligations, Secured
Party is entitled in accordance with the Indemnification Provisions to make a demand upon Pledgor
for, or otherwise receive, payment for such Obligations (for its own benefit or the benefit of the
other applicable Acquiror Indemnified Parties). Pursuant to Section 11.05(a) of the Amended Stock
Purchase Agreement, Pledgor may in some instances satisfy such demand by delivering Eligible
Collateral that is credited to the Indemnification Collateral Account with a Fair Value equal to
the amount demanded; provided, however, that any such delivery of Eligible Collateral will be made
in the following order of priority: (i) first, in cash and Permitted Investments then held in the
Indemnification Collateral Account; provided, that any such Permitted Investments shall have been
liquidated into cash in accordance with the Investment Guidelines (the “Liquidation Cash Proceeds”)
prior to making any such delivery from the Indemnification Collateral Account; and (ii), only to
the extent that the aggregate Fair Value of the cash and such Liquidation Cash Proceeds then held
in the Indemnification Collateral Account is less than the amount required to be delivered by the
Pledgor, second, by delivery of any cash and such Liquidation Cash Proceeds then held in the
Indemnification Collateral Account, plus such number of Common Equity Units credited to the
Indemnification Collateral Account the Fair Value of which equals the amount required to be so
delivered less the Fair Value of any such cash and Liquidation Cash Proceeds then held in the
Indemnification Control Account.
Upon receipt from Pledgor of a request complying with the requirements of such Section
11.05(a) that some or all of the amount demanded be paid using Eligible Collateral constituting
Indemnification Collateral, Secured Party agrees to instruct Securities Intermediary to withdraw
the requested amount of cash from the Indemnification Collateral Account and/or debit the requested
number of Common Equity Units and transfer such cash and/or Common Equity Units to such account as
Secured Party may designate in payment of Obligations with a Fair Value represented by such
transferred cash and/or Common Equity Units. Securities Intermediary may conclusively assume, in
complying with such instructions from the Secured Party, that Secured Party has received the
foregoing request from Pledgor and that the amount of Eligible Collateral to be withdrawn as
specified in such instructions is in the proper amount and shall comply with such instructions as
soon as practicable.
The failure of Pledgor to satisfy such demand or make such payment in full (in either case,
regardless of whether such demand is permitted by the Indemnification Provisions to be satisfied by
Pledgor prior to default by delivering a request to Secured Party in the manner described above
that Secured Party debit Eligible Collateral from the Indemnification Collateral Account), after
compliance by Secured Party with the terms of the applicable provisions or agreement constituting
the relevant Obligations and the terms of the Indemnification Provisions, including, without
limitation, any terms relating to the resolution of disagreements regarding the amount or existence
of any indemnification or other Obligation, shall constitute a default hereunder. It shall also
constitute a default hereunder if, in the case of any payment required to be made under Article II,
Section 6.12 or Sections 11.02(a)(vii),(viii) or (ix) of the Amended Stock Purchase Agreement or
the non-indemnification provisions of any Ancillary Agreement, or
11
pursuant to the Special Asset Protection Agreement, the Pledgor and AIG shall fail to make
such payment in full in accordance with Sections 6.24 and 11.05(a)(i) and (ii) of the Amended Stock
Purchase Agreement.
Upon the occurrence of a default for any of the reasons set forth above, Secured Party may
exercise in respect of the Indemnification Collateral, and Pledge Collateral Agent may, for the
benefit of Secured Party (whether for Secured Party’s benefit or for the benefit of other Acquiror
Indemnified Parties) and upon the instructions of Secured Party, exercise in respect of the Pledge
Collateral (subject to the last sentence of Section 2.2), in addition to other rights and remedies
provided for herein or in Section 11.05(a) of the Amended Stock Purchase Agreement or otherwise
available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the UCC, or under
other applicable law, with respect to such portions of the Indemnification Collateral having in the
aggregate a value equal to the amount of the Obligations then due to Secured Party but unpaid (the
“Unpaid Obligation Amount”), such value to equal, to the extent Eligible Collateral is applied, the
Fair Value of such Eligible Collateral and otherwise to equal such other amount as shall be
determined in a manner consistent with applicable law. Any instructions from Secured Party shall
specify the portions of the Indemnification Collateral with respect to which such remedies shall be
exercised as specified in Section 11.05 of the Amended Stock Purchase Agreement and shall certify
that such Indemnification Collateral has the value required by the preceding sentence.
Secured Party may also, without notice except as required by law, upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of any such default direct Securities Intermediary from time to time, to the
extent permitted by law, to (i) transfer, deliver, and pay over to Secured Party, or as Secured
Party directs, all or any part of the Indemnification Collateral and the proceeds thereof
(including, without limitation, any distributions of cash and securities made in respect of the
Indemnification Collateral (which, for the avoidance of doubt shall include any interest earned on
the funds in the deposit account and any dividends, interest, distributions, amounts received in
respect of redemption and all other proceeds of any Permitted Investments earned or accrued after
such time), including Pledge Collateral to the extent it relates to Pledged Units being applied to
the payment of any Unpaid Obligation Amount) in an amount up to the Unpaid Obligation Amount and
Secured Party may apply any cash received from Securities Intermediary to the payment of the
Obligations then due to Secured Party but unpaid, and (ii) sell the Indemnification Collateral in
an amount up to the Unpaid Obligation Amount or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public
or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or at any of Secured Party’s or Securities
Intermediary’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such
other terms as Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable, and Secured Party may instruct
Pledge Collateral Agent, as secured party for the benefit of Secured Party (for its own benefit and
the benefit of the other Acquiror Indemnified Parties), to take such action with respect to the
Pledge Collateral (subject to the last sentence of Section 2.2), including, without limitation, the
transfer at the time specified by Secured Party of any such Pledge Collateral out of any Pledged
Unit Subaccount to the appropriate other subaccount under the Pledge Agreement, as may be necessary
or desirable to effectuate the transfer or sale of Indemnification Collateral described above;
provided, that the aggregate value (calculated as provided in the Amended Stock Purchase Agreement
and herein) of the Indemnification Collateral, any such transferred Pledge Collateral and the
proceeds of the disposition thereof
12
applied to the payment of the Obligations at any time shall not exceed the Unpaid Obligation
Amount at such time, the amount of the Unpaid Obligations to be certified to Securities
Intermediary and Pledge Collateral Agent; and provided, further, that Secured Party shall not
exercise, or cause Pledge Collateral Agent to exercise, any rights with respect to the Pledge
Collateral that would breach the covenant set forth in the last sentence of Section 2.2 or that
would adversely affect the operation of the Pledge Agreement, any Stock Purchase Contract or the
Stock Purchase Contract Agreement.
Pledgor acknowledges that to the extent the Indemnification Collateral credited to the
Indemnification Collateral Account or the Pledge Collateral credited to the Pledge Collateral
Accounts under the Pledge Agreement is of a type sold in a recognized market, no notice by Secured
Party or Pledge Collateral Agent to Pledgor shall be required prior to the sale of any
Indemnification Collateral or Pledge Collateral hereunder. In the event such notice is given,
neither Secured Party nor Pledge Collateral Agent shall be obligated to make any sale of
Indemnification Collateral or Pledge Collateral regardless of such notice having been given.
Secured Party or Pledge Collateral Agent, as the case may be, 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. Upon any sale
or transfer of any Common Equity Units contained in the Indemnification Collateral, whether upon
Secured Party’s exercise of its rights as a secured party hereunder or upon the instructions of
Pledgor in connection with a substitution of Indemnification Collateral, the Pledge Collateral
associated with such Common Equity Units being sold shall, if such Common Equity Units shall
continue to be outstanding after such sale or other transfer, be transferred from the Pledge
Collateral Accounts to the other appropriate subaccounts with the Collateral Agent under the Pledge
Agreement.
SECTION 2.10 Security Interest Absolute. All rights of Secured Party and Pledge Collateral
Agent for benefit of the Secured Party and the security interests granted hereunder, and all
obligations of Pledgor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of: (i) any
change in time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the
Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the
Indemnification Provisions; (ii) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any other collateral,
or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty, for all or any
of the Obligations; or (iii) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense
available to, or a discharge of, Pledgor in respect of the Obligations other than full and final
payment thereof.
SECTION 2.11 Further Assurances. Pledgor, Secured Party, Securities Intermediary and Pledge
Collateral Agent agree that, at any time and from time to time at the expense of Pledgor, Pledgor
shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents and take all further
action that may be necessary or desirable or that Secured Party, Securities Intermediary or Pledge
Collateral Agent (upon the instructions of Secured Party, in the case of Securities Intermediary or
Pledge Collateral Agent) may reasonably request in order to create, perfect, and protect any pledge
or security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable Secured Party to
exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to the Indemnification
Collateral and to enable Pledge Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce for
13
the benefit of Secured Party its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to the Pledge
Collateral. If Pledgor shall fail to execute such instruments or documents or to take such further
action, Securities Intermediary or Pledge Collateral Agent, upon the instructions of Secured Party,
may do so in Pledgor’s stead in their own names or as Pledgor’s attorneys-in-fact, and at Pledgor’s
expense.

SECTION 4.1 Delivery of Indemnification Collateral. At the Closing (as defined in the
Amended Stock Purchase Agreement), Pledgor shall deliver or cause to be delivered in the method
specified in Section 2.3 to Securities Intermediary the Initial Collateral for credit to and/or
deposit in the Indemnification Collateral Account, and Pledge Collateral Agent shall establish the
Pledge Collateral Accounts and credit the Pledge Collateral thereto as provided in the Pledge
Agreement.
SECTION 4.2 Release of Indemnification Collateral. At any time on or after each of the dates
which is the 12-month, 24-month and 30-month anniversary of the Closing Date (or if, in each case,
such date is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day), or as otherwise provided in
Section 11.05(c) of the Amended Stock Purchase Agreement, Pledgor shall be entitled to withdraw
Indemnification Collateral from the Indemnification Collateral Account to the extent and in the
amount and manner set forth in such Section 11.05(c) (the amount permitted to be withdrawn being
the “Excess Collateral Amount”); provided, however, any such withdrawal of Indemnification
Collateral in accordance with Section 11.05(c) (other than Section 11.05(c)(i)) of the Amended
Stock Purchase Agreement shall be made in the following order of priority: (i) first, releasing any
Common Equity Units then held in the Indemnification Collateral Account; and (ii) second, solely to
the extent the amount of Indemnification Collateral to be so released exceeds the stated amount of
the Common Equity Units released pursuant to clause (i) above, any cash then held in the
Indemnification Collateral Account and any Permitted Investments then held in the Indemnification
Collateral Account in which cash held in the Indemnification Collateral Account has been invested;
provided, further, that any such Permitted Investments shall have been liquidated in accordance
with the guidelines specified in the Investment Guidelines prior to making any such withdrawal;
provided, further, that Pledgor has delivered written notice to Secured Party, with a copy to
Securities Intermediary, at least ten (10) Business Days in advance of the proposed date of
withdrawal detailing the Indemnification Collateral proposed to be withdrawn and specifying the
account or address to which the withdrawn Collateral should be delivered; provided, further, that
Securities Intermediary has received a Written Instruction and/or entitlement order from Secured
Party at least five (5) Business Days in advance of the requested withdrawal authorizing the
withdrawal of such Excess Collateral Amount and specifying the particular Indemnification
Collateral to be withdrawn; and provided, further, that upon the occurrence of a Parent Bankruptcy,
no Indemnification Collateral shall be released hereunder pursuant to Sections 11.05(c)
except to the extent, in the manner and at the time or times permitted thereby; provided, that in
connection with each such withdrawal all of the conditions in this Section 4.2 have been
complied with. Secured Party hereby agrees that it shall timely deliver an appropriate entitlement
order to the Securities Intermediary adequate to permit a permitted transfer of any Excess
Collateral Amount. If any Common Equity Units are withdrawn from the Indemnification Collateral
Account, the
18
corresponding Pledge Collateral shall be transferred from the Pledge Unit Subaccounts to the
appropriate other subaccounts under the Pledge Agreement. In order to facilitate the withdrawal
hereunder of Indemnification Collateral and Pledge Collateral while such Collateral is evidenced by
securities, the Secured Party shall provide the appropriate registrar for such Collateral a
sufficient supply of securities for purposes of issuance and exchange and shall cause such
registrars to coordinate and cooperate with the Securities Intermediary and Pledge Collateral Agent
to effect such withdrawal. The Securities Intermediary and the Pledge Collateral Agent, as such,
shall have no responsibility for any delay by any registrar to provide securities to effect any
such withdrawal or the related issuance and exchange.
If any Indemnification Collateral is required to remain in the Indemnification Collateral
Account after the 30-month anniversary of the Closing Date, Pledgor similarly shall be entitled
thereafter to withdraw any Excess Collateral Amount; provided, however, that Pledgor has delivered
written notice to Secured Party and Securities Intermediary at least ten (10) Business Days in
advance of the proposed date of withdrawal detailing the Indemnification Collateral proposed to be
withdrawn and specifying the account or address to which the withdrawn Collateral should be
delivered; and provided, further, that Securities Intermediary has received a Written Instruction
and/or entitlement order from Secured Party at least five (5) Business Days in advance of the
requested withdrawal authorizing the withdrawal of such Excess Collateral Amount. Secured Party
hereby agrees that it will timely deliver an appropriate entitlement order to Securities
Intermediary adequate to permit a permitted transfer of any Excess Collateral Amount. If any
Common Equity Units are withdrawn from the Indemnification Collateral Account, the corresponding
Pledge Collateral shall be transferred from the Pledge Collateral Accounts to the appropriate other
Collateral Accounts under the Pledge Agreement.
If Secured Party does not intend to deliver an instruction and/or entitlement order to
Securities Intermediary authorizing a withdrawal under the circumstances described above, Secured
Party shall deliver to Pledgor a notice providing detail of the defects in Pledgor’s withdrawal
request not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed date of withdrawal. Secured
Party will give written notice to Securities Intermediary and Pledge Collateral Agent upon the
satisfaction in full of the Obligations. If any Common Equity Units remain in the Indemnification
Collateral Account upon such satisfaction in full (and provided such notice has been received by
the Securities Intermediary and the Pledge Collateral Agent), such Common Equity Units will be
transferred to Pledgor or upon its order and the corresponding Pledge Collateral shall be
transferred from the Pledge Collateral Accounts to the other appropriate subaccounts under the
Pledge Agreement.
SECTION 4.3 Substitutions. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.3, Pledgor may
substitute cash for any Indemnification Collateral then held in the Indemnification Collateral
Account. As a condition to effecting a substitution, at least ten (10) Business Days in advance of
the proposed date of substitution, Pledgor shall be required to deliver written notice to Secured
Party, with a copy to Securities Intermediary, specifying: (i) the proposed date of substitution,
(ii) the amount of cash proposed to be transferred to the Indemnification Collateral Account and
(iii) the Indemnification Collateral proposed to be withdrawn from the Indemnification Collateral
Account. Pledgor shall be entitled to effect the proposed substitution; provided, that Securities
Intermediary has received a Written Instruction and/or entitlement order from Secured
19
Party at least five (5) Business Days in advance of the requested withdrawal authorizing
Securities Intermediary to effect the substitution and that, prior to such substitution, the
Pledgor shall have delivered to the Secured Party a written opinion of outside counsel for the
Pledgor, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Secured Party stating that (i) this
Agreement is effective to create a security interest in the cash credited to the Deposit Account in
favor of the Secured Party; (ii) by virtue of this Agreement, the Secured Party’s security interest
in the cash credited to the Deposit Account has been perfected; and (iii) no adverse claim under
Article 8 of the UCC may be asserted against the Secured Party’s security interest in any financial
asset credited to Eligible Collateral credited to the Indemnification Collateral Account.
Securities Intermediary shall be entitled to conclusively assume that such opinion has been
delivered unless Secured Party gives it written notice to the contrary.
Secured Party hereby agrees that it will timely deliver an appropriate entitlement order to
the Securities Intermediary adequate to permit a permitted substitution of Indemnification
Collateral; provided, however, that it shall not be required to deliver such an instruction and/or
entitlement order unless the amount of cash proposed to be transferred to
the Indemnification Collateral Account is at least equal to the Fair Value of the Indemnification
Collateral proposed to be withdrawn from the Indemnification Collateral Account. If Secured Party
does not intend to deliver an instruction and/or entitlement order to Securities Intermediary
authorizing a substitution of Indemnification Collateral under the circumstances described above
Secured Party shall deliver to Pledgor a notice, not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the
proposed date of withdrawal, providing details of the shortfall in the amount of cash to be transferred as compared to the Fair Value of the Indemnification Collateral
proposed to be withdrawn.
If any substitution involves the withdrawal of Common Equity Units from the Indemnification
Collateral Account, the Pledge Collateral corresponding to such Common Equity Units shall be
transferred from the Pledge Collateral Accounts to the other appropriate subaccounts under the
Pledge Agreement. Substitutions of Pledge Collateral pursuant to the terms of Sections 5.1(c), 5.2
and 5.3 of the Pledge Agreement shall be effected in accordance with such terms and Section 4.4(a)
hereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i), solely in connection with the AIG Equity Unit Public
Offering, all or a portion of the Equity Units Net Proceeds will be directly deposited by the
Managing Underwriter in accordance with the Indemnification Instruction, Waiver and Acknowledgment
by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Indemnification Collateral Account as
Eligible Collateral and substituted for Indemnification Collateral then held in the Indemnification
Collateral Account in accordance with the Indemnification Instruction,
Waiver and Acknowledgment contemplated by Section 6.6(b)
of the Coordination Agreement, and (ii) Pledgor will be permitted to substitute any proceeds of a
sale or transfer of Common Equity Units permitted under the Amended Investor Rights Agreement
following reasonable notice to Secured Party with a copy to Securities Intermediary, and Secured
Party hereby agrees that it will timely deliver an appropriate securities entitlement order to
Securities Intermediary adequate to permit such substitution of Indemnification Collateral in the
case of clause (ii).
SECTION 4.4 Common Equity Units as Collateral.
20
(a) Collateral Substitutions. If Pledgor effects a Collateral Substitution (as such term is
defined in the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement) with respect to any Stock Purchase Contracts
forming part of Common Equity Units credited to the Indemnification Collateral Account by
exercising its right to do so under the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement, the Stock Purchase
Contracts and the Pledge Agreement, the Normal Common Equity Units or Stripped Common Equity Units
(as such terms are defined in the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement) created pursuant to such
Collateral Substitution, but not the Debt Securities or Treasury Securities (as such terms are
defined in the Stock Purchase Contact Agreement) released from the security interest created
pursuant to the Pledge Agreement, shall, unless otherwise agreed by Secured Party, be credited to
the Indemnification Collateral Account as additional Indemnification Collateral, and the Debt
Securities or Treasury Securities released from the security interest created pursuant to the
Pledge Agreement shall be released from the security interest created pursuant to this Agreement
and delivered to the Pledgor. Secured Party shall be entitled to retain the Normal Common Equity
Units or Stripped Common Equity Units created pursuant to such Collateral Substitution without
there being any reduction in the Obligations as a result of such retention.
(b) Cash Settlement. If Pledgor effects an Early Settlement, Cash Settlement or Cash Merger
Early Settlement (as such terms are defined in the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement) other than as
described in Section 4.4(d) below of any Stock Purchase Contracts forming part of Common Equity
Units credited to the Indemnification Collateral Account for cash by exercising its right to do so
under the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement, the Stock Purchase Contracts and the Pledge Agreement,
or duly elects not to exercise its Put Right upon a Final Failed Remarketing (as such terms are
defined in the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement and Pledge Agreement, respectively), the Common
Stock so acquired, but not the cash paid therefor, shall, unless otherwise agreed by Secured Party,
be credited to the Indemnification Collateral Account as additional Indemnification Collateral.
Secured Party shall be entitled to retain the cash paid as the purchase price for such Common Stock
without there being any reduction in the Obligations as a result of such retention. The Debt
Securities or Treasury Securities in the Pledge Collateral Accounts relating to the Stock Purchase
Contracts pursuant to which such cash purchase was made shall be released from the Pledge
Collateral Accounts to Pledgor upon such purchase pursuant to the terms of the Pledge Agreement.
(c) Remarketing. If Pledgor purchases Common Stock with the cash proceeds of any remarketing,
in accordance with the terms of the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement, the Stock Purchase Contracts
and the Pledge Agreement, of Debt Securities forming part of the Common Equity Units credited to
the Indemnification Collateral Account, the Common Stock so acquired, but not the cash received
therefore, shall, unless otherwise agreed by Secured Party, be credited to the Indemnification
Collateral Account as additional Indemnification Collateral. Secured Party shall be entitled to
retain cash proceeds as the purchase price for such Common Stock without there being any reduction
in the Obligations as a result of such retention. The Debt Securities sold in such remarketing
that were credited to the Pledge Collateral Accounts shall be released from the Pledge Collateral
Accounts pursuant to the terms of the Pledge Agreement.
If Pledgor purchases Common Stock pursuant to Stock Purchase Contracts relating to any Common
Equity Units credited to the Indemnification Collateral Account in consideration for
21
the cash proceeds of Treasury Securities, the Common Stock so acquired shall, unless otherwise
agreed by Secured Party, be credited to the Indemnification Collateral Account as additional
Indemnification Collateral. Secured Party shall be entitled to retain such consideration as the
purchase price for such Common Stock without there being any reduction in the Obligations as a
result of such retention.
(d) Put Right; Settlement in Kind. If Pledgor purchases Common Stock pursuant to Stock
Purchase Contracts relating to any Common Equity Units credited to the Indemnification Collateral
Account in consideration for any Debt Securities pursuant to its deemed exercise of the Put Right
or in connection with a Cash Merger Early Settlement (each as defined in the Stock Purchase
Contract Agreement), the Common Stock so acquired, but not such Debt Securities, shall, unless
otherwise agreed by Secured Party, be credited to the Indemnification Collateral Account as
additional Indemnification Collateral. Secured Party shall be entitled to retain such
consideration as the purchase price for such Common Stock without there being any reduction in the
Obligations as a result of such retention, and such Debt Securities or Treasury Securities shall be
released from the Pledge Collateral Accounts pursuant to the Pledge Agreement.
(e) Termination Events. If, pursuant to Stock Purchase Contracts relating to any Common
Equity Units credited to the Indemnification Collateral Account, Pledgor takes Debt Securities or
Treasury Securities free and clear of the lien of the Pledge Agreement rather than Common Stock as
a result of a Termination Event (as defined in the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement), such Debt
Securities or Treasury Securities so acquired, shall, unless otherwise agreed by Secured Party, be
credited to the Indemnification Collateral Account as additional Indemnification Collateral and
shall be released from the Pledge Collateral Accounts pursuant to the Pledge Agreement.
(f) Cooperation. So long as no default has occurred and is continuing, upon request of
Pledgor to exercise any of its rights with respect to Common Equity Units credited to the
Indemnification Collateral Account as set forth in Sections 4.4(a) through (d) above, Secured Party
and Securities Intermediary shall cooperate with Pledgor, including by delivering any appropriate
instruction or notice required pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement and
Pledge Agreement, to effect the exercise of such rights.
SECTION 4.5 Treatment of Proceeds. Except as set forth in Sections 2.9 and 4.4 hereof, all
dividends, interest, distributions and all other
interest or other earnings (which for the avoidance of doubt shall include any interest earned on
the funds in the deposit account and any earnings on any Permitted Investments) of the
Indemnification Collateral shall be released from the security interest created pursuant to this
Agreement and Securities Intermediary shall promptly upon receipt thereof (i) credit to the
Collateral Agent for distribution to the Pledgor as provided in the Pledge Agreement all such
proceeds relating to the Pledge Collateral and (ii) deliver to Pledgor all such proceeds not
relating to the Pledge Collateral.
SECTION 4.6 Exclusive Control. Securities Intermediary is authorized to act upon any Written
Instructions, including entitlement orders with respect to the securities account that is part of
the Indemnification Collateral Account and instructions relating to the deposit account that is
part of the Indemnification Collateral Account, solely and exclusively from Secured Party.
22
Securities Intermediary is authorized to act upon any Written Instructions, including
entitlement orders with respect to the Pledge Collateral Accounts, solely and exclusively from
Pledge Collateral Agent. Secured Party hereby covenants for the benefit of Pledgor that Secured
Party will not originate entitlement orders or instructions concerning the Indemnification
Collateral Account or the Indemnification Collateral or cause Pledge Collateral Agent to take any
action with respect to the Pledge Collateral or the Pledge Collateral Accounts except as provided
in Sections 2.9, 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 hereof with respect to payment of Obligations when due, the
substitution, withdrawal, release or transfer of Indemnification Collateral or Pledge Collateral,
the treatment of proceeds and the exercise its rights as a secured party upon default. The
foregoing covenant is for the benefit of Pledgor only and will not be deemed to constitute a
limitation on Secured Party’s right, as between Securities Intermediary and Secured Party, to
originate entitlement orders and instructions with respect to the Indemnification Collateral
Account and the Indemnification Collateral, on Securities Intermediary’s obligation to comply with
those entitlement orders and instructions without further consent by Pledgor, on Secured Party’s
right, as between Secured Party and Pledge Collateral Agent, to instruct Pledge Collateral Agent to
take action with respect to the Pledge Collateral or the Pledge Collateral Accounts, or on Pledge
Collateral Agent’s obligation to comply with those instructions without further consent by Pledgor.
Securities Intermediary agrees that it will, without inquiry or consent of Pledgor or any person
acting or purporting to act on behalf of Pledgor, comply with Written Instructions (including
entitlement orders and instructions relating to the deposit account that is part of the
Indemnification Collateral Account) from Secured Party with respect to the Indemnification
Collateral Account. Without prejudice to the exclusive right of Secured Party to give entitlement
orders, if Securities Intermediary receives conflicting directions with respect to the
Indemnification Collateral Account or the Indemnification Collateral from Pledgor and Secured
Party, Securities Intermediary will act at the direction of Secured Party and will be fully
protected in so acting. Pledge Collateral Agent agrees to comply with instructions given pursuant
to the Pledge Agreement and with instructions given by Secured Party pursuant to this Agreement
without further consent from Pledgor. If instructions of Secured Party to Pledge Collateral Agent
pursuant to this Agreement conflict with the obligations of the Pledge Collateral Agent under the
Pledge Agreement, Pledge Collateral Agent shall be entitled to comply with the Pledge Agreement and
not to comply with such conflicting instructions given pursuant to this Agreement.
SECTION 4.7 Statements. Securities Intermediary shall furnish Pledgor and Secured Party with
monthly Indemnification Collateral Account statements in accordance with its customary procedures.
Securities Intermediary shall also furnish Pledgor and Secured Party with monthly statements with
respect to the Pledge Collateral Accounts in accordance with its customary procedures. The
requirements of this Section 4.7 shall be performed by the Securities Intermediary by granting each
of the Pledgor and the Secured Party on-line read only access to the Indemnification Collateral
Account and the Pledge Collateral Accounts.
SECTION 4.8 Notice of Adverse Claims. Upon receipt of written notice of any lien,
encumbrance or adverse claim against the Indemnification Collateral Account, the Pledge Collateral
Accounts or any portion of the Indemnification Collateral or Pledge Collateral, Securities
Intermediary shall use reasonable efforts to notify Secured Party and Pledgor as promptly as
practicable under the circumstances.
23
SECTION 4.9 Subordination of Lien; Set-off. The parties agree that any security interest in
or lien on, or right of set-off with respect to, any of the Indemnification Collateral or the
Pledge Collateral that Securities Intermediary or Pledge Collateral Agent may now or in the future
may have is hereby subordinated to the security interest of Secured Party hereunder, except to the
extent of any fees, charges, expenses and other amounts owed to Securities Intermediary or Pledge
Collateral Agent and incurred in connection with the performance of the duties of Securities
Intermediary hereunder and the maintenance and operation of the Indemnification Collateral Account
and the Indemnification Collateral, for which Securities Intermediary shall have a prior claim to
the Indemnification Collateral.
SECTION 4.10 No Release Without Consent. Securities Intermediary and Pledge Collateral Agent
agree that they will not extend any credit nor make any loans secured by the Indemnification
Collateral, the Indemnification Collateral Account, the Pledge Collateral or the Pledge Collateral
Accounts, including without limitation any so-called “margin loans.” Except as provided in
Sections 2.9, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 and 4.5 hereof or in the Pledge Agreement, no payments of principal or
interest, or addition, substitution, sale, transfer, release, withdrawal or other alienation of
Indemnification Collateral or the Pledge Collateral shall be made except upon the written consent
of Secured Party.

connection with this Agreement. AIG shall also reimburse Securities Intermediary and Pledge
Collateral Agent for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses) which are a normal incident of the services provided hereunder. The obligations of AIG
under this Section shall be a continuing obligation of AIG, its successors and assigns,
notwithstanding the resignation or removal of Securities Intermediary or Pledge Collateral Agent or
the termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 5.8 Effectiveness of Instructions; Reliance; Risk Acknowledgements; Additional Terms.
(a) Secured Party shall have the right, by one or more written instruments executed and
delivered to Securities Intermediary or Pledge Collateral Agent, to direct the time, method and
place of conducting any proceeding for the realization of any right or remedy available to
Securities Intermediary or Pledge Collateral Agent, or of exercising any power conferred on
Securities Intermediary or Pledge Collateral Agent, or to direct the taking or refraining from
taking of any action authorized by this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) such direction shall
not conflict with the provisions of any law or of this Agreement or involve Securities Intermediary
or Pledge Collateral Agent in personal liability and (ii) Securities Intermediary or Pledge
Collateral Agent shall be indemnified to its satisfaction as provided herein. Subject to the terms
below, Securities Intermediary and Pledge Collateral Agent shall be entitled, in the absence of bad
faith, to rely upon any Written Instructions actually received by Securities
26
Intermediary or Pledge Collateral Agent, respectively, and reasonably believed by it to have
been duly authorized and delivered by Secured Party.
(b) In each case that Securities Intermediary or Pledge Collateral Agent may or is
required hereunder to take any action, including without limitation to make any
determination or judgment, to give consents, to exercise rights, powers or remedies, to
release or sell Indemnification Collateral or Pledge Collateral or otherwise to act
hereunder, the Securities Intermediary or Pledge Collateral Agent may seek direction from
Secured Party. Securities Intermediary or Pledge Collateral Agent shall not be liable with
respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with
the direction from Secured Party. Unless direction is otherwise expressly provided herein,
if Securities Intermediary or Pledge Collateral Agent shall request direction from Secured
Party with respect to any action, Securities Intermediary or Pledge Collateral Agent shall
be entitled to refrain from such action unless and until such agent shall have received
direction from Securities Intermediary or Pledge Collateral Agent, and the agent shall not
incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining.
(c) If Securities Intermediary or Pledge Collateral Agent receives Written
Instructions which appear on their face to have been transmitted via (i) computer
facsimile, email, the Internet or other insecure electronic method, or (ii) secure
electronic transmission containing applicable authorization codes, passwords and/or
authentication keys, Secured Party understands and agrees that neither Securities
Intermediary nor Pledge Collateral Agent can determine the identity of the actual sender of
such Written Instructions and that Securities Intermediary or Pledge Collateral Agent, as
the case may be, shall conclusively presume that such Written Instructions have been sent
by an Authorized Person. Secured Party shall be responsible for ensuring that only its
Authorized Persons transmit such Written Instructions to Securities Intermediary and Pledge
Collateral Agent and that all of its Authorized Persons treat applicable user and
authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys with extreme care.
(d) Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that it is fully informed of the protections
and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting Written Instructions to
Securities Intermediary and Pledge Collateral Agent and that there may be more secure
methods of transmitting Written Instructions than the method(s) selected by it. Secured
Party agrees that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its
transmission of Written Instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of
protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances.
SECTION 5.9 Certain Rights.
(a) Whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Agreement Securities Intermediary
and Pledge Collateral Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or
established prior to taking or suffering any action to be taken hereunder, such matter (unless
other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of gross
negligence or bad faith on the part of Securities Intermediary and Pledge Collateral Agent, be
deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a certificate signed by one of the
27
Secured Party’s officers, and delivered to Securities Intermediary and Pledge Collateral Agent
and such certificate, in the absence of gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Securities
Intermediary and Pledge Collateral Agent, shall be full warrant to the Securities Intermediary and
Pledge Collateral Agent for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of
this Agreement upon the faith thereof.
(b) The Securities Intermediary and Pledge Collateral Agent shall not be bound to make any
investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, entitlement order, approval or other paper
or document, may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting
thereon if believed to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or
parties and may conclusively rely on the truth of the statements and the correctness of the
opinions expressed therein.
(c) Neither Securities Intermediary nor Pledge Collateral Agent shall have any responsibility,
other than complying with the express terms and provisions of this Agreement, for perfecting or
maintaining the perfection of any security interest granted to it or to the Secured Party hereunder
or for filing or re-filing any financing statement or continuation statement in any public office
at any time or times.
(d) In the event funds or securities transfer instructions, investment instructions or
instructions to sell or liquidate investments are given (other than in writing at the time of
execution of this Agreement), whether in writing, by telecopier or otherwise, Securities
Intermediary and Pledge Collateral Agent are authorized to seek confirmation of such instructions
by telephone call-back to the person or persons designated on Schedule I hereto, and Securities
Intermediary and Pledge Collateral Agent may rely upon the confirmations of anyone purporting to be
the person or persons so designated. The persons and telephone numbers for call-backs may be
changed only in writing actually received and acknowledged by Securities Intermediary and Pledge
Collateral Agent. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that such security procedure is
commercially reasonable.
(e) [The Securities Intermediary shall have no obligation to invest and reinvest any cash held
in the Indemnification Collateral Account in the absence of a written investment direction from
Pledgor specifying the investment to be made and
certifying that such investment constitutes a Permitted Investment. Any investment will be made by
the Securities Intermediary
as soon as practicable after receipt of
a written direction therefor. In no event shall the Securities
Intermediary be liable for the selection of investments or for investment losses incurred thereon.
The Securities Intermediary shall have no liability in respect of losses incurred as a result of
the liquidation of any investment prior to its stated maturity or the failure of Pledgor to provide
to the Securities Intermediary timely written investment direction. Any written investment
direction or written direction to sell or liquidate investments shall be in the form of Written
Instructions.]

Pledge Collateral Agent are authorized to supply any information regarding the Indemnification
Collateral Account or the Pledge Collateral Accounts which is required by any law or governmental
regulation now or hereafter in effect.
SECTION 5.11 Force Majeure. Neither Securities Intermediary nor Pledge Collateral Agent
shall be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under
this Agreement arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its
reasonable control, including without limitation, acts of God; earthquakes; fires; floods; wars;
civil or military disturbances; sabotage; epidemics; riots; interruptions, loss or malfunctions of
utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communications service; accidents; labor disputes;
acts of civil or military authority; governmental actions; inability to obtain labor, material,
equipment or transportation.
SECTION 5.12 No Implied Duties. Neither Securities Intermediary nor Pledge Collateral Agent
shall have any duties or responsibilities whatsoever except such duties and responsibilities as are
specifically set forth in this Agreement, and no covenant or obligation shall be implied against
Securities Intermediary or Pledge Collateral Agent in connection with this Agreement. No provision
of this Agreement shall require the Securities Intermediary or Pledge Collateral Agent to expend or
risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its
duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable
grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or
liability is not reasonably assured to it.

SECTION 6.1 Resignation or Removal of Securities Intermediary and Pledge Collateral Agent.
Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Pledge Collateral Agent or Securities
Intermediary as provided below:
(i) Pledge Collateral Agent and Securities Intermediary may resign at any time by
giving notice thereof to Secured Party; provided, that Pledge Collateral Agent may
resign only if it also resigns as Collateral Agent under and in accordance with the
Pledge Agreement; and
(ii) Pledge Collateral Agent and Securities Intermediary may be removed at any time
by Secured Party; provided, that any such removal of the Pledge Collateral Agent is also
effected in connection with the removal of the Collateral Agent under and in accordance
with the Pledge Agreement.
Secured Party shall promptly notify Pledgor of any resignation or removal of Pledge Collateral
Agent or Securities Intermediary pursuant to this Section 6.1. Upon any such resignation or
removal, Secured Party shall have the right to appoint a successor Pledge Collateral Agent or
Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, provided, such appointment of the Pledge Collateral
Agent also complies with the Pledge Agreement. If no successor Pledge Collateral Agent or
Securities Intermediary shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment
29
within thirty (30) days after the retiring Pledge Collateral Agent’s or Securities Intermediary’s
giving of notice of resignation or Secured Party’s giving notice of such removal, then the retiring
or removed Pledge Collateral Agent or Securities Intermediary may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction, at the expense of Secured Party, for the appointment of a successor Pledge Collateral
Agent or Securities Intermediary. Pledge Collateral Agent and Securities Intermediary shall each
be a bank, trust company or national banking association with a combined capital and surplus of at
least $50,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Pledge Collateral Agent or Securities
Intermediary hereunder by a successor Pledge Collateral Agent or Securities Intermediary, as the
case may be, such successor Pledge Collateral Agent or Securities Intermediary, as the case may be,
shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of
the retiring Pledge Collateral Agent or Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, and the
retiring Pledge Collateral Agent or Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, shall take all
appropriate action, subject to payment of any amounts then due and payable to it hereunder, to
transfer any money and property held by it hereunder (including the Indemnification Collateral or
the Pledge Collateral) to such successor. The retiring Pledge Collateral Agent or Securities
Intermediary shall, upon such succession, be discharged from its duties and obligations as Pledge
Collateral Agent or Securities Intermediary hereunder. After any retiring Pledge Collateral
Agent’s or Securities Intermediary’s resignation hereunder as Pledge Collateral Agent or Securities
Intermediary, the provisions of Article V shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of
any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Pledge Collateral Agent
or Securities Intermediary. Any resignation or removal of Pledge Collateral Agent or Securities
Intermediary hereunder, at a time when such person is acting as Pledge Collateral Agent or
Securities Intermediary, shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement as the simultaneous
resignation or removal of Pledge Collateral Agent and Securities Intermediary.
SECTION 6.2 Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon (a) the receipt by Security
Intermediary and Pledge Collateral Agent of Written Instructions from Secured Party expressly
stating that Secured Party no longer claims any security interest in either the Indemnification
Collateral or the Pledge Collateral, the subsequent transfer of the Indemnification Collateral from
the Indemnification Collateral Account pursuant to Section 4.2 and the corresponding transfers of
the Pledge Collateral under the Pledge Agreement, or (b) the transfer of all of the Indemnification
Collateral and Pledge Collateral to Secured Party pursuant to an entitlement order delivered to
Securities Intermediary and an instruction delivered to Pledge Collateral Agent. Except as
otherwise provided herein, all obligations of the parties to each other hereunder shall cease upon
termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 6.3 Certificates of Authorized Persons. Secured Party and Pledgor agree to furnish
to Securities Intermediary and Pledge Collateral Agent a new Certificate of Authorized Persons in
the event of any change in the then present Authorized Persons. Until such new Certificate is

upon Written Instructions of such present Authorized Persons.

Pledgor, Securities Intermediary or Pledge Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other
31
document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, or allowed it by law or equity, shall
be cumulative and may be exercised from time to time. No failure on the part of Secured Party,
Pledgor, Securities Intermediary or Pledge Collateral Agent to exercise, and no delay in
exercising, any right will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise by
Secured Party, Pledgor, Securities Intermediary or Pledge Collateral Agent of any right preclude
any other future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.
SECTION 6.6 Severability; Amendments; Assignment. In case any provision in or obligation
under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected thereby.
This Agreement may not be waived, amended or modified in any manner except by a written agreement
executed by the parties hereto. This Agreement shall extend to and shall be binding upon the
parties hereto, and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that, except
pursuant to Section 3.7 or Section 6.1, this Agreement shall not be assignable by
any party without the written consent of the other parties and any purported assignment in
violation of this provision shall be null and void.
SECTION 6.7 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Immunity; Jury Trial Waiver. This
Agreement and the Indemnification Collateral Account shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the local law of the State of New York. The State of New York shall be deemed to
be the jurisdiction of Securities Intermediary in its capacity as securities intermediary for the

Deposit Account, any other deposit account comprising part of the Indemnification Collateral
Account governed by this Agreement and hereunder. Secured Party, Pledgor, Pledge Collateral Agent,
Securities Intermediary and Stock Purchase Contract Agent hereby consent to the jurisdiction of a
state or federal court situated in New York City, New York in connection with any dispute arising
hereunder. To the extent that in any jurisdiction Secured Party, Pledgor, Securities Intermediary,

regulations, pursuant to which Securities Intermediary and Pledge Collateral
32
Agent must obtain, verify and record information that allows Securities Intermediary or Pledge
Collateral Agent, as the case may be, to identify each of Pledgor and Secured Party. Accordingly,
prior to opening the Indemnification Collateral Account hereunder and the Collateral Accounts under
the Pledge Agreement Securities Intermediary and Pledge Collateral Agent will ask Pledgor and/or
Secured Party to provide certain information including, but not limited to, Pledgor’s and/or
Secured Party’s name, physical address, tax identification number and other information that will
help Securities Intermediary to identify and verify each of Pledgor’s and Secured Party’s identity
such as organizational documents, certificate of good standing, license to do business, or other
pertinent identifying information. Pledgor and Secured Party agree that Securities Intermediary

(e) Equity Units Valuation Methodology
The valuation agent will value the Equity Units based on the sum of the valuations of the three
tranches of the Equity Units. If any of the stock purchase contracts have been settled for MetLife
common stock on or prior to the valuation date, the MetLife common stock issued thereunder will be
valued based on the market price of MetLife common stock. The valuation agent will value the
Equity Units as if the securities were fully-distributed in a liquid trading market with no
additional discounts applied (whether for “new issue”, transfer or hedging restrictions, or due to
the fact that the security is held by one party).
Each of the three tranches will be valued based on the sum of:
1) | the market price of 28,232,000 shares of MetLife common stock (number of shares subject to anti-dilution adjustments); | ||
2) | plus the present value of All-in Payments on the applicable tranche of the Equity
Units using the Applicable Discount Rate; |
||
3) | minus the present value of Foregone MetLife Dividends on the applicable tranche of
the Equity Units using the Applicable Discount Rate; |
||
4) | less the value of 28,232,000 call options with an exercise price of $35.42 each
(number of call options and strike price subject to anti-dilution adjustments) expiring on
the applicable Stock Purchase Date; |
||
5) | plus the value of 22,588,000 call options with an exercise price of $44.275 each
(number of call options and strike price subject to anti-dilution adjustments) expiring on
the applicable Stock Purchase Date. |
For any tranche of the Equity Units, should a failed remarketing lead to an extension of the
applicable Stock Purchase Date, subsequent to the first scheduled applicable Stock Purchase Date,
the valuation for such tranche will be based on the sum of (1), (2), and (3)
D-1
above, adjusting (1) for the number of shares of MetLife common stock issuable on the next
succeeding applicable Stock Purchase Date (subject to anti-dilution adjustments).
The market price with respect to shares of MetLife common stock on the valuation date means the
closing price per share for MetLife common stock ending on such day, or, if no closing price is
available for such day, the closing price for the last preceding trading day.
For any applicable tranche of the Equity Units, the All-in Payments means the sum of any interest
payable on the underlying senior unsecured note and any contract adjustment payments payable on the
applicable stock purchase contract through the applicable stock purchase date.
For any applicable tranche of the Equity Units, the Foregone MetLife Dividends means, for any
dividend record date below prior to the applicable Stock Purchase Date, the product of (i) $0.74
and (ii) 28,232,000. The dividend record dates to consider are:
• | November 9, 2010 | ||
• | November 9, 2011 | ||
• | November 9, 2012 | ||
• | November 9, 2013 | ||
• | November 9, 2014 |
For purposes of this valuation, the applicable Stock Purchase Date means, for any tranche of the
Equity Units, the next scheduled stock purchase settlement date (as defined in the Agreement),
assuming the next succeeding remarketing is successful.
For any applicable tranche of the Equity Units, the Applicable Discount Rate shall be calculated as
the sum, on the valuation date, of:
• | the yield to maturity on the U.S. Treasury security maturing closest to the applicable Stock Purchase Date; | ||
• | plus the yield to maturity on MetLife’s 6.75% notes due 2016 (cusip no. 043194135)
minus the yield to maturity on the U.S. Treasury note security maturing closest to
MetLife’s 6.75% notes due 2016. |
The value of the call options will be determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing formula for
European call options.
This Black-Scholes option pricing formula is a function of:
D-2
• | the market price of MetLife’s stock price; | ||
• | the “risk-free rate,” defined as the yield to maturity on the U.S. Treasury security maturing closest to the applicable Stock Purchase Date; | ||
• | the volatility of MetLife common stock; | ||
• | time, calculated as the time from the valuation date to the applicable Stock Purchase Date (the “applicable Tenor”); | ||
• | MetLife’s dividend yield, calculated as the dividend threshold amount ($0.74), divided by the market price of MetLife common stock; and | ||
• | the exercise price. |
The volatility of MetLife common stock for the call option with an exercise price of $35.42
(subject to anti-dilution adjustments) will be calculated as the annualized standard deviation of
the logarithmic daily returns on MetLife common stock over the 100 consecutive trading day period
ending on the valuation date plus the applicable Volatility Skew.
The volatility of MetLife common stock for the call option with an exercise price of $44.275
(subject to anti-dilution adjustments) will be calculated as the annualized standard deviation of
the logarithmic daily returns on MetLife common stock over the 100 consecutive trading day period
ending on the valuation date minus the applicable Volatility Skew.
• | The applicable Volatility Skew shall be 4.5% |
Acquiror Interim Preferred Stock Valuation Methodology
At any time prior to the listing of the Acquiror Interim Preferred Stock, the fair market value of
each share of Interim Preferred Stock shall be equal to the product of (x) a share of Acquiror
Stock valued consistent with section 11.05 (e)(i)(z) and (y) 10. At any time after the Acquiror
Interim Preferred Stock is registered and listed for trading on a national securities exchange, the
fair market value of each share of Acquiror Interim Preferred Stock shall be equal to the volume
weighted average price of a share of Acquiror Interim Preferred Stock on such exchange over the ten
trading days ending on the second trading day prior to the date of the determination.
