The provisions of this Section 7 shall not affect any agreement that the Company and the Selling Stockholder have made or may make for the sharing of such costs and expenses.

9.(a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Underwriter may become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package (or any amendment or supplement thereto), the Road Show, any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (in the case of any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, taken together with the Pricing Disclosure Package), or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and will reimburse such Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable to any Underwriter in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package (or any amendment or supplement thereto), the Road Show, any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with any Selling Stockholder Information or written information furnished to the Company by such Underwriter directly or through the Representatives expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 9(c) hereof.

(b) The Selling Stockholder will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Underwriter may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (taken together with the Pricing Disclosure Package), the Road Show, any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of the Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made), in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication or any Road Show, in reliance upon and in conformity with the Selling Stockholder Information relating to such Selling Stockholder; and will reimburse each Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Selling Stockholder shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission has been made in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package (or any amendment or supplement thereto), the Road Show, any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon and conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter directly or through the Representatives expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 9(c) hereof; provided, further that the liability under this subsection of the Selling Stockholder shall not exceed an amount equal to the net proceeds (after deducting underwriting commissions and discounts but before deducting expenses) received by the Selling Stockholder from the sale of Securities sold by it hereunder.

(c) Each Underwriter will, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Selling Stockholder against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or the Selling Stockholder, as applicable, may become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (taken together with the Pricing Disclosure Package), the Road Show, any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of the Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made), in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package or any amendment or supplement thereto, the Road Show, any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Underwriter directly or through the Representatives expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the Company and the Selling Stockholder for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company and the Selling Stockholder in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred. For purposes of this Agreement, the only information so furnished shall be the marketing names of the Underwriters at the bottom of the front and back cover of each of the Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus, the statements in the fifth paragraph of the “Underwriting” section of each of the Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus related to dealer concessions and the fourteenth paragraph and the sixteenth paragraph of the “Underwriting” section of each of the Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus discussing stabilization, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids.

(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a), (b), or (c) of this Section 9 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection except to the extent that it has been prejudiced by such failure. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. To the extent that an indemnifying party does not assume the defense of any such action, it is understood that the indemnifying party or parties shall not, in connection with any one action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar actions or proceedings arising out of the same general allegations, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all indemnified parties (except to the extent that one firm of local counsel for any jurisdiction, in addition to any regular counsel, is required to effectively defend against any such action or proceedings); provided that the fees and expenses of such separate firm of attorneys and any legal counsel shall be reasonably incurred. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff that is not subject to further appeal, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify each indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits for the Company and the Selling Stockholder on the one hand and the Underwriters of the Securities on the other from the offering of the Securities to which such loss, claim, damage or liability (or action in respect thereof) relates. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and the Selling Stockholder on the one hand and the Underwriters of the Securities on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits for the Company and the Selling Stockholder on the one hand and such Underwriters of the Securities on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from such offering (before deducting expenses) from the sale of all Securities to be sold pursuant to this Agreement bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriters in respect thereof. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading relates to information supplied by the Company or the Selling Stockholder on the one hand or by such Underwriters on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company, the Selling Stockholder and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (e) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (e). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (e) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this (e), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligations of the Underwriters of the Securities in this subsection (e) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations with respect to such Securities and not joint.

(f) The obligations of the Company and the Selling Stockholder under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company and the Selling Stockholder may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act and the affiliates, employees, directors and officers of any Underwriter; and the obligations of the Underwriters under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each affiliate, employee, officer and director of the Company and of the Selling Stockholder and to each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Selling Stockholder within the meaning of the Act.

10.(a) If any Underwriter shall default in its obligation to purchase the Securities which it has agreed to purchase under this Agreement at the Time of Delivery, the Representatives may in its discretion arrange for itself or another party or other parties to purchase such Securities on the terms contained herein. If within thirty-six hours after such default by any Underwriter, the Representatives do not arrange for the purchase of such Securities, then the Company and the Selling Stockholder shall be entitled to a further period of thirty-six hours within which to procure another party or other parties satisfactory to the Representatives to purchase such Securities on such terms. In the event that, within the prescribed period, the Representatives notify the Company and the Selling Stockholder that the Representatives have so arranged for the purchase of such Securities, or the Company or the Selling Stockholder notify the Representatives that they have so arranged for the purchase of such Securities, the Representatives or the Company or the Selling Stockholder, as the case may be, shall have the right to postpone the Time of Delivery for such Securities for a period of not more than seven days, in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in any other documents or arrangements, and the Company agrees to file promptly any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus which in the opinion of the Representatives may thereby be made necessary. The term “Underwriter” as used in this Agreement shall include any person substituted under this Section 10 with like effect as if such person had originally been a party to this Agreement with respect to such Securities.

(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the Representatives and the Company and the Selling Stockholder as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate number of such Securities which remains unpurchased does not exceed one-tenth of the aggregate number of all the Securities to be purchased at such Time of Delivery, then the Company and the Selling Stockholder shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the number of Securities which such Underwriter agreed to purchase under this Agreement at such Time of Delivery relating to such Securities and, in addition, to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase its pro rata share (based on the number of Securities which such Underwriter agreed to purchase under this Agreement) of the Securities of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the Representatives and the Company and the Selling Stockholder as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate number of Securities which remains unpurchased exceeds one-tenth of the aggregate number of the Securities, as referred to in subsection (b) above, or if the Company and the Selling Stockholder shall not exercise the right described in subsection (b) above to require non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, then this Agreement relating to such Securities (or, with respect to each Second Time of Delivery, the obligations of the Underwriters to purchase and of the Selling Stockholder to sell the Optional Securities) shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company or the Selling Stockholder, except for the expenses to be borne by the Company and the Underwriters as provided in Section 7 hereof and the indemnity and contribution agreements in Section 9 hereof; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

11.The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties, rights of contribution and other statements of the Company, the Selling Stockholder and the Underwriters, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination of this Agreement or any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, the Company or the Selling Stockholder, any controlling person of any Underwriter, the Company or the Selling Stockholder, or any officer or director of the Company or the Selling Stockholder and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Securities.

12.If the sale of the Securities provided for herein is not consummated, or if this Agreement is terminated by the Underwriters, because any condition to the obligations of the Underwriters set forth in Section 8 hereof is not satisfied (other than any termination pursuant to subsection (i), (iii), (iv) or (v) of Section 8(k) hereof), or because of any refusal, inability or failure of parties hereto (other than the Underwriters) to perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by any of the Underwriters under Section 10 hereof, the Company and the Selling Stockholder will reimburse the Underwriters severally through the Representatives on demand for all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been reasonably incurred by them in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Securities not delivered, but the Company and the Selling Stockholder shall then be under no further liability to any Underwriter except as provided in Section 7 and Section 9 hereof.

13.In all dealings hereunder, the Representatives of the Underwriters of the Securities shall act on behalf of each of such Underwriters, and the parties hereto shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of any Underwriter made or given by the Representatives.

14.All statements, requests, notices and advices hereunder shall be in writing, or by telephone if promptly confirmed in writing, and if to an Underwriter, shall be sufficient in all respects when delivered or sent by electronic mail, facsimile transmission or registered mail to the Representatives at the notice address set forth in Schedule I, if to the Company shall be sufficient in all respects when delivered or sent by electronic mail or registered mail to Corebridge Financial, Inc., Attention: Executive Vice President and General Counsel, Address: 00000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, XX 00000, Email: xxxxx.xxxxx@xxx.xxx, xxxxxx.xxxxxxxx@xxx.xxx, xxxxx.xxxxxxx@xxx.xxx and xxxxxx.xxxxxxxxx@xxx.xxx, and if to the Selling Stockholder, shall be sufficient in all respects when delivered or sent by electronic mail or registered mail to American International Group, Inc., Attention: Xxxx Xxxx, Address: 0000 Xxxxxx xx xxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000, Email: xxxx.xxxx@xxx.xxx, as may be updated from time to time by each party.

15.This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the benefit of, the Underwriters, the Company and the Selling Stockholder and, to the extent provided in Section 9 and Section 11 hereof, the officers and directors of the Company and each person who controls the Company, the Selling Stockholder or any Underwriter, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors and assigns; and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement. No purchaser of any of the Securities from any Underwriter shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.

16.In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Underwriters are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Company and the Selling Stockholder, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the Underwriters to properly identify their respective clients.

17.Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.

(a) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

For the purposes of this Section 17:

“BHC Act Affiliate” has the meaning assigned to the term “affiliate” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. § 1841(k).

“Covered Entity” means any of the following:

(i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);

(ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or

(iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

“U.S. Special Resolution Regime” means each of (i) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and (ii) Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

18.This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) among all of the Company, the Selling Stockholder and the Underwriters with respect to the subject matter hereof.

19.(a) This Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York notwithstanding conflict of laws provisions that would require the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

(b) Each of the parties hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the U.S. federal and New York state courts in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the parties waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit or proceeding in such courts. Each of the parties agrees that final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such court shall be conclusive and binding upon each of the parties, as applicable, and may be enforced in any court to the jurisdiction of which each of the parties, as applicable, is subject by a suit upon such judgment.

20.Time shall be of the essence in this Agreement.

21.This Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties hereto in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including any electronic signature complying with the New York Electronic Signatures and Records Act (N.Y. State Tech. §§ 301-309), as amended from time to time, or covered by the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures and Records Act or other applicable law, e.g., xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

22.Without limiting the applicability of any other provision of this Agreement, the Underwriters will purchase any Securities purchased hereunder in the ordinary course of their activities as broker-dealers and not with the purpose or intent, directly or indirectly through any affiliate, of exercising control over the Company or any of its subsidiaries. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Underwriter agrees that for so long as it owns any of the Securities purchased by it hereunder (a) it, directly or indirectly through any affiliate, will not exercise any voting rights associated with the Securities purchased by it hereunder, to the extent such exercise would give rise to a presumption of control under any applicable insurance law or regulation or trigger any other regulatory approval requirement, without first having obtained any required regulatory approval; (b) to the extent it, directly or indirectly through any affiliate, exercises any voting rights associated with the Securities purchased by it hereunder, it and any such affiliates will vote all such Securities in the same proportion as the shares of Common Stock or other voting securities of the Company voted by all other holders of Common Stock or such other voting securities of the Company and (c) it will not sell the Securities purchased by it hereunder to any purchaser if the number of Securities sold to such purchaser would exceed 32,250,000 shares, unless approved by the Company in writing substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto.

If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, please sign and return to us nine counterparts hereof, whereupon this letter and the acceptance by each of you thereof shall constitute a binding agreement among the Company, the Selling Stockholder and the Underwriters.
