Pursuant to the AIA Purchase Agreement, upon the receipt of the preferred interests in AIA LLC by the FRBNY, there would be a reduction in the outstanding balance of the lending commitment under the Credit Agreement, dated as of September 22, 2008 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) between AIG and the FRBNY (“FRBNY Facility”) and the maximum amount available to be borrowed thereunder equal to the $16 billion of liquidation preference of the preferred interests received by the FRBNY.

The preferred interests received by the FRBNY have a liquidation preference of $16 billion and accrue a return of 5 percent per year until September 22, 2013 and thereafter 9 percent per year. After payment is made for the liquidation preference and accrued returns on the preferred interests and the initial value relating to the common interests (and any additional capital contributions), which may occur in certain circumstances including, without limitation, upon a liquidation or sale of AIA LLC, AIG is entitled to 99 percent of the remaining proceeds and the FRBNY is entitled to 1 percent.

          (b) Subject to Section 4.01(d), in the event that the Board of Managers determines to issue additional Equity Securities of the Company for a cash contribution, the Board of Managers may seek new members (each, an “Additional Member”) to provide such cash contribution or any portion thereof, and one or more Additional Members may be admitted into the Company at any time with the written consent of the Board of Managers.

If any Manager, officer, transfer agent, or registrar who has signed, or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon, a Unit Certificate has ceased to be such Manager, officer, transfer agent, or registrar before such certificate is issued, such certificate may be issued by the Company with the same effect as if he were such Manager, officer, transfer agent, or registrar at the date of issue. The Unit Certificates shall be consecutively numbered and shall be entered in the books of the Company as they are issued and shall exhibit the Member’s name and the number and type of Units.
          (b) The Managers may direct a new Unit Certificate or Certificates to be issued in place of a Unit Certificate or Certificates theretofore issued by the Company and alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the Unit Certificate or Certificates representing Units to be lost, stolen, or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new Unit Certificate or Certificates the Managers may, in their discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the applicable Member and holder of such lost, stolen, or destroyed Unit Certificate or Certificates, or its legal representative, to advertise the same in such manner as it shall require or to give the Company a bond with a surety or sureties satisfactory to the Company in such sum as it may direct as indemnity against any claim, or expense resulting from a claim, that may be made against the Company in respect of the Unit Certificate or Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed.

The FRBNY Member agrees to use reasonable efforts to cause a decision as to whether or not to grant its consent to any proposed Significant Action to be made within 30 calendar days after delivery of a conforming Significant Action Request Notice with respect thereto to the Consent Request Contact, but the failure to act within such time period shall not in any way affect the FRBNY Member’s rights under Section 4.01(d) or any party’s other rights or obligations under this Agreement.

          (b) The satisfaction of any indemnification obligation pursuant to Section 4.05(a) hereof shall be from and limited to Company assets (including insurance and any agreements pursuant to which the Company, its Managers, officers or employees are entitled to indemnification) and no Member, in such capacity, shall be subject to personal liability therefor.
          (c) Expenses reasonably incurred by an Indemnified Party in defense or settlement of any claim that may be subject to a right of indemnification hereunder shall be advanced by the AIG Member prior to the final disposition thereof upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party to repay such amount to the extent that it shall be determined upon final adjudication after all possible appeals have been exhausted that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder.

30


 

          (d) The AIG Member shall purchase and maintain customary director and officer insurance on behalf of all officers of the Company, Managers and other Indemnified Parties against any liability which may be asserted against, or expense which may be incurred by, any such Person in connection with the Company’s activities.
     Section 4.06 Notice of Rights. The rights conferred upon the Indemnified Parties in Sections 4.04 and 4.05 hereof shall be contract rights that vest upon the occurrence or the alleged occurrence of any act or omission giving rise to any proceeding or threatened proceeding and such rights shall continue as to an Indemnified Party who has ceased to be a manager or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnified Party’s heirs, executors and administrators. Any amendment, repeal or alteration of Section 4.04 or 4.05 hereof that adversely affects any right of an Indemnified Party or its successors shall be prospective only and shall not limit or eliminate any such right with respect to any proceeding involving any occurrence or alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that took place prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal.

Prior to the Preferred Payment, and so long as the Consent Holder holds any Preferred Interests, the Consent Holder shall have the right to appoint two individuals to attend meetings of the Board of Managers (and any committees thereof); whether such meeting is conducted in person or by teleconference, as non-voting observers (the “Observers”). The Observers shall be entitled to receive not less than five business days’ advance written notice of all such meetings of the Board of Managers (and any committees thereof) and to obtain copies of all materials provided to the Board of Managers (and any committees thereof); provided, however, that such Observers will be asked to leave all or a portion of a meeting of the Board of Managers if attendance at such meeting or portion thereof would in the reasonable judgment of the Company’s counsel, adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel. The Company shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each such Observer in connection with attending regular and special meetings of the Board of Managers (and any committees thereof).
     Section 4.08 Compliance with Laws. The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain a written program approved by the chief compliance officer of AIG and which is reasonably designed to ensure compliance with applicable Laws which is at least as effective as the legal compliance program currently maintained by the AIG Member and which otherwise conforms to the maximum extent practicable with best practices within the global insurance industry. Any such program will conform to all current and future AIG compliance, human resource, information technology, legal, audit and other existing or future programs, policies and/or procedures.

Other than as specifically set forth in this Article V, all

31


 

determinations made pursuant to this Article V shall be made by the Board of Managers in its sole discretion. To the extent that the Board of Managers determines that any distributions shall be made to the Members, such distributions shall only be made in accordance with the provisions of this Article V and Section 4.01(d) hereof.

provided, however, that if the Preferred Members or any of their Affiliates Control (or have the right to obtain Control of) the Company or the AIG Member, the Company may not make any distributions pursuant to this Section 5.02 or otherwise.
     Section 5.03 Mandatory Distributions. In connection with any Qualifying Event, the Company shall be required to distribute the Net Proceeds of such Qualifying Event to the Members in accordance with Section 5.02; provided, however, that (i) if the Preferred Members or any of their Affiliates Control (or have the right to obtain Control of) the Company or the AIG Member, the Company shall not be required to distribute any Net Proceeds of such Qualifying Event and (ii) if the Qualifying Event itself was required by applicable Law, the Company shall not be required to distribute any Net Proceeds of such Qualifying Event unless the Board of Managers shall have made a determination (as evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Managers) that such Qualifying Event was in the best interest of the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, a Qualifying Event shall not have been required by applicable Law where the Company or the relevant Subsidiary has more than one option not prohibited under this

32


 

Agreement or by applicable Law (at least one of which is within the control of the Company or the relevant Subsidiary, as applicable) for complying with a requirement under applicable Law (e.g., a requirement to increase capital) and has made a voluntary determination to proceed with the option that has resulted in the Qualifying Event.
     Section 5.04 Demand Distribution of Securities.
          (a) At any time prior to the Preferred Payment and from time to time following the expiration of any lock-up period for an Initial Public Offering agreed between the Preferred Members and the underwriters of any Initial Public Offering (but in no event more than 180 days after the consummation thereof), and subject to any additional time and volume limitations that the Members may agree to pursuant to Section 11.14(a) (which such time and volume limitations shall, at any time during the Initial Period that the FRBNY Member holds Preferred Units, be subject to prior consultation with, and during the 12-month period following the date of this Agreement, as long as the FRBNY Member holds Preferred Units, the prior concurrence of, the AIG Credit Facility Trust), (A) with respect to the FRBNY Member, for as long as the FRBNY Member owns any Preferred Units, the FRBNY Member shall, at any time (i) during the Initial Period, upon prior consultation with, and during the 12-month period following the date of this Agreement the prior concurrence of, the AIG Credit Facility Trust, be entitled to make a Distribution Demand and (ii) following the Initial Period, in its sole discretion be entitled to make a Distribution Demand; and (B) with respect to the Majority Preferred Members, (i) during the Initial Period, will not be entitled to make a Distribution Demand, and (ii) following the Initial Period, shall, in their sole discretion, be entitled to make a Distribution Demand (each of the FRBNY Member with respect to Section 5.04(a)(A) and the Majority Preferred Members with respect to Section 5.04(a)(B), a “Distribution Demanding Member”).
          (b) For purposes of this Section 5.04, a “Distribution Demand” means that the Distribution Demanding Member may require the Company (and if applicable, require the Company to cause any Affiliate of the Company which owns the common equity of the Entity subject to the Initial Public Offering to make a distribution of the Distributed Securities to the Company), by submitting a demand therefor, to make a distribution (the “Securities Distribution”) to the Distribution Demanding Member, pro rata in accordance with their Preferred Units, of Securities (“Distributed Securities”) of the Entity subject to the Initial Public Offering held by the Company (or any Affiliate of the Company which owns the common equity of the Entity subject to the Initial Public Offering) with an aggregate Trading Value not to exceed the then current aggregate Liquidation Preference applicable to the Preferred Units held by the Distribution Demanding Member, as applicable; provided, however, that the Liquidation Preference shall be reduced by the Trading Value of any Distributed Securities distributed to the Distribution Demanding Member. The Securities Distribution shall be made by the Company concurrently with and as a condition precedent to the closing of a sale by the Distribution Demanding Member of the Distributed Securities (which sale would be subject to any restrictions or lock-up periods they may be subject to at such time or otherwise having been agreed to by the Preferred Members pursuant to Section 11.14 or otherwise); and provided further that, without in any way limiting the Company’s obligations hereunder to effect the Securities Distribution, if the Preferred Members or any of their Affiliates Control (or have the right to obtain Control of) the Company or the AIG Member, the Company shall not be permitted to purchase any Distributed Securities from the Preferred Members.

33

          (b) Any amount distributed to a Common Member pursuant to this Section 5.05 will be deemed to be an advance distribution of amounts otherwise distributable to such Common Member (i) first, pursuant to Section 5.02(d); and (ii) second, pursuant to Section 5.02(e).
     Section 5.06 Restricted Distributions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company, and the Board of Managers on behalf of the Company, shall not make a distribution to any Member if such distribution would violate the Act or other applicable Law.
ARTICLE VI
ALLOCATIONS
     Section 6.01 General Application. The rules set forth below in this Article VI shall apply for the purposes of determining each Member’s allocable share of the items of income, gain, loss and expense of the Company comprising Net Income or Net Loss for each Fiscal Year, determining special allocations of other items of income, gain, loss and expense, and adjusting the balance of each Member’s Capital Account to reflect the aforementioned general and special allocations. For each Fiscal Year, the special allocations in Section 6.03 hereof shall be made immediately prior to the general allocations of Section 6.02 hereof.
     Section 6.02 General Allocations.
          (a) Hypothetical Liquidation. The items of income, expense, gain and loss of the Company comprising Net Income or Net Loss for a Fiscal Year, shall be allocated among the Persons who were Members during such Fiscal Year in a manner that will, as nearly as possible, cause the Capital Account balance of each Member at the end of such Fiscal Year to equal the excess (which may be negative) of:
               (i) the amount of the hypothetical distribution (if any) that such Member would receive if, on the last day of the Fiscal Year, (x) all Company assets, including cash, were sold for cash equal to their Gross Asset Values, taking into account any adjustments thereto for such Fiscal Year, (y) all Company liabilities were satisfied in cash according to their terms (limited, with respect to each Nonrecourse Liability, to the Gross Asset Values of the assets securing such liability), and (z) the net proceeds thereof (after satisfaction of such liabilities) were distributed in full pursuant to Section 9.03 over

34


 

               (ii) the sum of (x) the amount, if any, which such Member is obligated to contribute to the capital of the Company, (y) such Member’s share of the Company Minimum Gain determined pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-2(g), and (z) such Member’s share of Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain determined pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), all computed immediately prior to the hypothetical sale described in Section 6.02(a)(i).
          (b) Loss Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.02, the amount of items of Company expense and loss allocated pursuant to this Section 6.02 to any Member shall not exceed the maximum amount of such items that can be so allocated without causing such Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Fiscal Year, unless each Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. All such items in excess of the limitation set forth in this Section 6.02(b) shall be allocated first, to Members who would not have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, pro rata, in proportion to their Capital Account balances, adjusted as provided in clauses (a) and (b) of the definition of Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, until no Member would be entitled to any further allocation, and thereafter, to all Members, pro rata, in proportion to their respective Units Percentages.
          (c) No Deficit Restoration Obligation. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, at no time during the term of the Company or upon dissolution and liquidation thereof shall a Member with a negative balance in its Capital Account have any obligation to the Company or the other Members to restore such negative balance, except as may be required by applicable Law or in respect of any negative balance resulting from a withdrawal of capital or dissolution in contravention of this Agreement.
     Section 6.03 Special Allocations. The following special allocations shall be made in the following order:
          (a) Minimum Gain Chargeback. In the event that there is a net decrease during a Fiscal Year in either Company Minimum Gain or Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, then notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VI, each Member shall receive such special allocations of items of Company income and gain as are required in order to conform to Regulations Section 1.704-2.
          (b) Qualified Income Offset. Subject to Section 6.03(a), but notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VI, items of income and gain shall be specially allocated to the Members in a manner that complies with the “qualified income offset” requirement of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(3).
          (c) Deficit Capital Accounts Generally. In the event that a Member has a deficit Capital Account balance at the end of any Fiscal Year which is in excess of the sum of (i) the amount such Member is then obligated to restore pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii) the amount such Member is then deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), respectively, such Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in an amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided that any allocation under this Section 6.03(c) shall be made only if and to the extent that a Member would have a deficit Capital Account balance in excess of such

35


 

sum after all allocations provided for in this Article VI have been tentatively made as if this Section 6.03(c) were not in this Agreement.
          (d) Deductions Attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt. Any item of Company loss or expense that is attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt shall be specially allocated to the Members in the manner in which they share the economic risk of loss (as defined in Regulations Section 1.752-2) for such Member Nonrecourse Debt.
          (e) Allocation of Nonrecourse Deductions. Each Nonrecourse Deduction of the Company shall be specially allocated among the Common Members in accordance with their Unit Percentages.
The allocations pursuant to Sections 6.03(b) and 6.03(c) shall be comprised of a proportionate share of each of the Company’s items of income or gain. The amounts of any Company income, gain, loss or deduction available to be specially allocated pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall be determined by applying rules analogous to those set forth in subparagraphs (a) through (f) of Section 1.85.
     Section 6.04 Allocation of Nonrecourse Liabilities. For purposes of determining each Member’s share of Nonrecourse Liabilities, if any, of the Company in accordance with Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), the Members’ interests in Company profits shall be determined in the same manner as prescribed by Section 6.03(e).
     Section 6.05 Tax Allocations; Other Allocation Rules.
          (a) Tax Allocations. Tax allocations for each Fiscal Year or other accounting period of the Company shall be made consistent with the allocations made pursuant to Sections 6.02 and 6.03 for such year or period, except that, solely for tax purposes, items of income, expense, gain and loss with respect to Company assets reflected hereunder in the Members’ Capital Accounts and on the books of the Company at Gross Asset Values that differ from the Company’s adjusted tax basis in such assets shall be allocated among the Members so as to take account of those differences in a manner which will comply with Code Sections 704(b) and 704(c) and the Regulations promulgated thereunder. The Company shall, at the discretion of the Board of Managers, make, or not make, “curative” or “remedial” allocations (within the meaning of the Regulations Section 1.704-3), including (i) “curative” allocations which offset the effect of the “ceiling rule” for a prior Fiscal Year (within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-3(c)(3)(ii)); and (ii) “curative” allocations from dispositions of contributed property (within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-3(c)(3)(iii)(B)).
          (b) Credits. All tax credits of the Company for a Fiscal Year or other accounting period (or portion thereof, if appropriate) shall be allocated among the Members in a manner determined by the Board of Managers, consistent with applicable Law.

     Section 7.02 Tax Returns. The Board of Managers, at the expense of the Company, shall endeavor to cause the preparation and timely filing (including extensions) of all tax returns required to be filed by the Company pursuant to the Code or any other applicable Law. Within 90 days after the end of each Fiscal Year or as soon as otherwise practicable, the Board of Managers will cause to be delivered to each Person who was a Member at any time during such Fiscal Year, information with respect to the Company as may be necessary for the preparation of such Person’s income tax returns for such Fiscal Year, including without limitation, such Person’s Schedule K-1.
     Section 7.03 Tax Matters Member. The AIG Member is hereby designated the “Tax Matters Member” and shall serve as the tax matters partner (as defined in Code Section 6231) and is authorized and required to represent the Company in connection with all examinations of the Company’s affairs by tax authorities, including resulting administrative and judicial proceedings. Each Member (other than the FRBNY Member) agrees that any decisions made and action taken by the Tax Matters Member, including without limitations, in connection with audits of the Company and whether or not to settle or contest any tax matters, shall be binding upon the Company and such Members (other than the FRBNY Member) and each such Member (other than the FRBNY Member) further agrees that such Member (other than the FRBNY Member) shall not treat any Company item inconsistently on such Member’s income tax return with the treatment of the item on the Company’s return and that such Member shall not independently act with respect to tax audits or tax litigation affecting the Company, unless previously authorized to do so in writing by the Tax Matters Member, which authorization may not be unreasonably withheld by Tax Matters Member. If any state or local tax Law provides for a tax matters partner or person having similar rights, powers, authority or obligations, the Tax Matters Member shall also serve in such capacity. In all other cases, the Tax Matters Member shall represent the Company in all tax matters to the extent allowed by applicable Law. The AIG Member shall pay, and indemnify the Tax Matters Member against, any and all expenses incurred by the Tax Matters Member in such capacity. Such expenses shall include, without limitation, fees of attorneys and other tax professionals, accountants, appraisers and experts, filing fees and reasonable out-of-pocket costs. In furtherance of the foregoing, in the event the Company is not subject to the consolidated audit rules of Code Sections 6221 through 6234 during any taxable year, the Members hereby agree to sign an election pursuant to Code Section 6231(a)(1)(B)(ii) to be filed with the Company’s federal income tax return for such taxable year to have such consolidated audit rules apply to the Company.
     Section 7.04 Accounting Methods; Elections. The Board of Managers shall determine the accounting methods and conventions to be used in the preparation of the Company’s tax returns and, subject to Section 7.05 below, shall make any and all elections under the tax Laws of the United States and any other relevant jurisdictions as to the treatment of items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Company, or any other method or procedure related to the

preparation of the Company’s tax returns; provided, however, that the Tax Matters Member shall determine, in its reasonable discretion, all calculations and allocations with respect to any adjustment under Sections 734(b) and 743(b) of the Code. The Board of Managers shall not take any tax position, make or change any tax election or otherwise take any action in connection with the Company’s tax matters that could reasonably be expected to be materially adverse to any Preferred Member (including, without limitation, any material reduction of such Preferred Member’s return on its Preferred Interest) without the consent of such Preferred Member which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.
     Section 7.05 Partnership Status. The Members intend to treat, and the Company shall take no position inconsistent with treating, the Company as a partnership for United States federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes prior to an Initial Public Offering of the Company. The Company shall not file any election pursuant to Regulations Section 301.7701-3(c) to be treated as an entity other than a partnership prior to any Initial Public Offering of the Company. The Company shall not elect, pursuant to Section 761(a) of the Code, to be excluded from the provisions of subchapter K of the Code.
     Section 7.06 Tax Treatment of the Transactions. All capitalized terms in this Section 7.06 not defined in this Agreement shall have the definitions assigned to them in the Purchase Agreement. It is the intention of the parties that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (a) on the transfer by AIG of beneficial ownership of the PhilAm shares to AIA, AIA shall become the owner of such equity interests and the transitory existence of the AIA Note will be disregarded; (b) the following transactions shall be treated as occurring when the Company and HK Co. are disregarded under Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-2(c)(2) as separate entities from AIRCO: (1) the transfer by AIRCO of the AIA equity interests to the Company in return for the HK Note A; (2) the issuance of the Preferred Units to AIRCO in return for the HK Note A; and (3) the issuance by HK Co. to the Company of stock of HK Co. and the HK Note B in return for the HK Note A; (c) as a result, each of the transactions described in clause (b) hereof shall be disregarded, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the transitory existence of the HK Note A; (d) the election under Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-3(c) to treat HK Co. as a corporation shall be treated as the transfer by AIRCO of the AIA equity interests to HK Co. in return for all the HK Co. stock and the HK Note B; (e) immediately before the election described in clause (d) hereof, the Purchase Agreement shall constitute a binding contract pursuant to which the sale described in clause (f) hereof shall occur; (f) the sale of the Preferred Units to the FRBNY in return for the Consideration (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) shall be treated as (1) the transfer by AIRCO to the FRBNY of undivided interests in the stock of HK Co. and the HK Note B in return for the Consideration, followed by (2) the contribution by the FRBNY and AIRCO of their respective interests in the stock of HK Co. and the HK Note B to the Company, which, as of the time of such contribution, shall be treated as a partnership, in return for the Units; and (g) the transfer, via dividend, of the Consideration to AIGLH, which is (and, as of the time of such transfer, shall continue to be) disregarded as a separate entity from AIG under Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-2(c)(2), shall be treated as (1) the transfer of the Consideration, to the extent of the fair market value of the PhilAm equity interests, to AIG in return for such PhilAm equity interests, and (2) except to the foregoing extent, a distribution described in Code Section 301 to AIG. The terms of this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement shall be interpreted consistently with this intention, and the parties hereto agree not to

38


 

take any position for U.S. federal income tax purposes (in a filing or otherwise) contrary to this intention.
     Section 7.07 Confidentiality; Access to Information.
          (a) Each Preferred Member (other than the FRBNY which is bound by that certain Nondisclosure Agreement by and among AIG and the FRBNY and dated as of September 25, 2008 (the “Nondisclosure Agreement”) or any Permitted Transferee of the FRBNY and any Observers who executed a joinder to the Nondisclosure Agreement or who are otherwise bound thereto), and any Observer not otherwise bound by the Nondisclosure Agreement, agrees to keep confidential, and not to disclose to any Person, any matter relating to the Company or any of its Affiliates, or their respective affairs (other than disclosure to such Preferred Member’s advisors responsible for matters relating to the Company and who reasonably need to know such information in order to perform such responsibilities (each such Person being hereinafter referred to as an “Authorized Representative”)); provided, however, that such Preferred Member or any of its Authorized Representatives may make such disclosure, subject to applicable Law, to the extent that (i) the information being disclosed is in connection with such Preferred Member’s tax returns or concerns the tax structure or tax treatment of the Company or its transactions, (ii) such disclosure is to any officer, director, shareholder or partner of such Preferred Member, (iii) the information being disclosed is otherwise generally available to the public, (iv) such disclosure is requested by any governmental body, agency, official or authority having jurisdiction over such Preferred Member, (v) such disclosure, based upon the advice of legal counsel of such Preferred Member or Authorized Representative, is otherwise required by applicable Law or statute or (vi) such disclosure is made to any Permitted Transferee or Third Party in connection with any proposed Transfer of Securities, which Permitted Transferee or Third Party is subject to a confidentiality agreement for the benefit of the Company with terms no less protective than this Section 7.07(a). Prior to making any disclosure described in clause (iv) or (v) of this Section 7.07(a), a Preferred Member (other than the FRBNY or any Permitted Transferee thereof) shall notify the Board of Managers of such disclosure and of such advice of counsel. Each Preferred Member (other than the FRBNY or any Permitted Transferee thereof) shall use all reasonable efforts to cause each of its Authorized Representatives to comply with the obligations of such Preferred Member under this Section 7.07(a). In connection with any disclosure described in clause (iv) or (v) above, the disclosing Preferred Member shall cooperate with the Company in seeking any protective order or other appropriate arrangement as the Board of Managers may request.
          (b) Each of the AIG Member, AIRCO and the Company hereby agrees to provide, or cause to be provided, to the Comptroller General of the United States (the “Comptroller General”), upon request, access to information, data, schedules, books, accounts, financial records, reports, files, electronic communications, or other papers, things or property that relate to assistance provided by the FRBNY pursuant to any action taken by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Board of Governors”) under section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. § 343), to the extent required by, and in accordance with the provisions of, 31 U.S.C. § 714(d)(3) (as added by section 801 of the Helping Families Save Their Homes Act of 2009, Pub. L. No. 111-22 (the “Helping Families Act”)). The parties hereby acknowledge that the Helping Families Act provides that, subject to certain exceptions enumerated in 31 U.S.C. § 714(c)(4) (as amended), an officer or an employee of the U.S.

39


 

Government Accountability Office (the “GAO”) (including the Comptroller General) may not disclose to any person outside the GAO information obtained in audits or examinations conducted under 31 U.S.C. § 714(e) (as amended) and maintained as confidential by the Board of Governors or a Federal Reserve bank (including the FRBNY).
ARTICLE VIII
TRANSFERS AND OTHER LIQUIDITY RIGHTS
     Section 8.01 Transfer in General.
          (a) Subject to any restrictions on transferability by operation of Law or contained elsewhere in this Agreement (including Section 4.01(d) hereof) and any other requirement of applicable Law imposed on the Company or the Members or in accordance with Section 11.14, (i) the Preferred Members may freely Transfer their Preferred Units to any Person and (ii) no Common Member shall Transfer any portion of its Interest or its Units, directly or indirectly, to any Person other than a Permitted Transferee, without the prior written consent of each of (A) the Board of Managers and (B) prior to the Preferred Payment, a Majority in Interest of the Preferred Members. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary but subject to the provisions of this Article VIII, following the Preferred Payment, the Common Members may freely transfer their Common Units to any Person. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, prior to an Initial Public Offering of the Company, no Member shall Transfer any portion of its Interests, Units or Equity Securities (including to any Permitted Transferee) to the extent that such Transfer would cause the Company to be taxable as a corporation or treated as a “publicly traded partnership” for United States federal, state or local income or franchise tax purposes.
          (b) A permitted Transfer of Units pursuant to Section 8.01(a) hereof shall be effective as of the date of (i) compliance with the conditions to such transfer referred to in this Section 8.01 and (ii) admission of the Substituted Member pursuant to Section 8.02 hereof. All tax items for the partnership taxable year of such transfer shall be allocated between the transferor and the transferee according to any method permissible under Code Section 706 (which method shall be agreed upon between the transferor and the transferee, and approved by the Board of Managers). Distributions made before the effective date of such Transfer shall be paid to the transferor, and distributions made after such date shall be paid to the transferee.
          (c) Any Member who effectively transfers any Units pursuant to this Article VIII shall cease to be a Member with respect to such Units and shall no longer have any rights or privileges of a Member with respect to such Units (it being understood, however, that the applicable provisions of Sections 4.04, 4.05 and 7.01 hereof shall continue to inure to such Person’s benefit). Nothing contained herein shall relieve any Member who Transfers any Units or other interest in the Company from any liability or obligation of such Member to the Company or the other Members with respect to such Units that may exist on the date of such Transfer or that is otherwise specified in the Delaware Act and incorporated into this Agreement or for any liability to the Company or any other Person for any breaches of any representations, warranties or covenants by such Member (in its capacity as such) contained herein or in other agreements with the Company.

40


 

          (d) In addition to any other restrictions on Transfer imposed by this Agreement, no Member may Transfer any Unit (except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or Section 8.05) without first delivering to the Board of Managers, if requested, an opinion of counsel (reasonably acceptable in form and substance to the Board of Managers) that neither registration nor qualification under the Securities Act or applicable state securities Laws is required in connection with such Transfer and that such Transfer would not cause the Company to be taxable as a corporation or treated as a “publicly traded partnership” for United States federal income tax purposes. The Board of Managers may waive such opinion requirement on advice of counsel acceptable to the Board of Managers.
     Section 8.02 Admission of Members. A Person shall be admitted to the Company (without requiring any consent of the Board of Managers or of the Members pursuant to Section 11.02 hereof) in connection with the transfer of any Units to such Person as permitted under the terms of this Agreement (a “Substituted Member”), or in connection with the issuance of new Units by the Company to an Additional Member, by accepting and agreeing to be bound by all of the terms and conditions hereof by executing a counterpart to this Agreement and (excluding AIG and AIGLH) entering into a joinder agreement in the form of Schedule VI attached hereto.
     Section 8.03 Transfers in Violation of Agreement. Any Transfer or attempted Transfer in violation of this Article VIII shall be void, and the Company shall not record such purported Transfer on its books or treat any purported transferee as the owner of any Units subject to such purported Transfer.
     Section 8.04 Demand Liquidity Event.
          (a) Prior to the Preferred Payment, (A) with respect to the FRBNY Member, for as long as the FRBNY Member owns any Preferred Units, the FRBNY Member shall, at any time (i) during the Initial Period, upon prior consultation with, and during the 12-month period following the date of this Agreement the prior concurrence of, the AIG Credit Facility Trust, be entitled to make an IPO Demand and (ii) following the Initial Period, in its sole discretion, be entitled to make an IPO Demand; and (B) with respect to the Majority Preferred Members, (i) during the Initial Period, will not be entitled to make an IPO Demand, and (ii) following the Initial Period, shall, in their sole discretion, be entitled to make an IPO Demand (each of the FRBNY Member with respect to Section 8.04(a)(A) and the Majority Preferred Members with respect to Section 8.04(a)(B), an “IPO Demanding Member”). An “IPO Demand” means that the IPO Demanding Member may require the Company to use its best efforts to effect an Initial Public Offering. In connection with any such Initial Public Offering, the Company shall not be required to distribute any proceeds of such Initial Public Offering.
          (b) Prior to the Preferred Payment, (A) with respect to the FRBNY Member, for as long as the FRBNY Member owns any Preferred Units, the FRBNY Member shall, at any time (i) during the Initial Period, upon prior consultation with, and during the 12-month period following the date of this Agreement the prior concurrence of, the AIG Credit Facility Trust, be entitled to make a Sale of the Company Demand and (ii) following the Initial Period, in its sole discretion, be entitled to make a Sale of the Company Demand; and (B) with respect to the Majority Preferred Members, (i) during the Initial Period, will not be entitled to make a Sale of the Company Demand, and (ii) following the Initial Period, shall, in their sole discretion, be

41


 

entitled to make a Sale of the Company Demand (each of the FRBNY Member with respect to Section 8.04(b)(A) and the Majority Preferred Members with respect to Section 8.04(b)(B), a “Sale Demanding Member”). A “Sale of the Company Demand” means that the Sale Demanding Member may require the Company to use its best efforts to effect a Sale of the Company; provided, however, that if the Sale of the Company is structured such that the Company will receive the proceeds from such a Sale of the Company, then the Company shall not be required to distribute any proceeds it may receive from such a Sale of the Company; and provided further that if the Sale of the Company is structured such that the Members will receive the proceeds from such a Sale of the Company, then the proceeds from the Sale of the Company shall be allocated among the Members in the manner that such proceeds would have been distributed by the Company in accordance with Section 5.02 hereof and any such proceeds distributed or allocated to the Preferred Members shall reduce the Liquidation Preference in the amount so distributed or allocated. In connection with any Sale of the Company, the Sale Demanding Member may require the Board of Managers and/or the other Members to take any of the actions that may be required by or on behalf of the Company or any such Member in connection with a Drag-Along Transfer pursuant to Section 8.05 hereof.
     Section 8.05 Drag-Along.
          (a) At any time prior to the Preferred Payment, (A) with respect to the FRBNY Member, for as long as the FRBNY Member owns any Preferred Units, the FRBNY Member shall, at any time (i) during the Initial Period, upon prior consultation with, and during the 12-month period following the date of this Agreement the prior concurrence of, the AIG Credit Facility Trust, be entitled to make a Drag-Along Demand and (ii) following the Initial Period, in its sole discretion, be entitled to make a Drag-Along Demand; and (B) with respect to the Majority Preferred Members, (i) during the Initial Period, will not be entitled to make a Drag-Along Demand and (ii) following the Initial Period, shall, in their sole discretion, be entitled to make a Drag-Along Demand (each of the FRBNY Member with respect to Section 8.05(a)(A) and the Majority Preferred Members with respect to Section 8.05(a)(B), a “Selling Member”). A “Drag-Along Demand” means that if the Selling Member agrees to effect a Drag-Along Sale (in any single or series of related transactions) to a non-affiliated Third Party (the “Drag-Along Buyer”), the Selling Member may at any time, pursuant to a Transfer or otherwise (a “Drag-Along Transfer”), exercise drag-along rights in accordance with the terms, conditions and procedures set forth herein.
          (b) The Selling Member shall promptly give notice (a “Drag-Along Notice”) to each of the other Members (the “Drag-Along Members”) not later than 30 days prior to the consummation of the Drag-Along Transfer of any election by the Selling Member to exercise their drag-along rights under this Section 8.05, setting forth the name and address of the Drag-Along Buyer, the proposed amount and form of consideration for the Units, and all other material terms and conditions of the Drag-Along Transfer. Any Drag-Along Transfer shall be at the same purchase price as specified in the Drag-Along Notice and all Members shall receive the same form of consideration in connection with a Drag-Along Transfer and as set forth in Section 8.05(c) hereof.
          (c) The proceeds from the sale of any Drag-Along Transfer shall be allocated to the Members in the manner that such proceeds would have been distributed by the Company

42


 

in accordance with Section 5.02 hereof and such proceeds distributed to the Preferred Members shall reduce the Liquidation Preference in the amount so distributed.
          (d) Each Drag-Along Member must agree (i) to make the same representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements as made by the Selling Member in connection with the Drag-Along Transfer (other than any non-competition or similar agreements or covenants that would bind the Drag-Along Member or its Affiliates), and (ii) to the same terms and conditions to the transfer as the Selling Member agrees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, all such representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements shall be made by the Selling Member and Drag-Along Members severally and not jointly and any liability for breach of any such representations and warranties related to the Company shall be allocated among the Selling Member and Drag-Along Members based on the proportion of the consideration received by the Selling Member and Drag-Along Members, and the aggregate amount of liability for the Selling Member and Drag-Along Members shall not exceed the U.S. dollar value of the total consideration to be paid by the Drag-Along Buyer to the Selling Member or Drag-Along Members, respectively.
          (e) All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Members or the Company in connection with any proposed Drag-Along Transfer (whether or not consummated), including all attorneys’ fees and charges, all accounting fees and charges and all finders, brokerage or investment banking fees, charges or commissions, shall be paid by the Company.
          (f) The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, take all necessary action in connection with the consummation of any Drag-Along Transfer, including providing access to the documents, records and senior management of the Company and its Subsidiaries, entering into an agreement reflecting the terms of the Drag-Along Transfer and executing and delivering any documents reasonably requested by the Drag-Along Buyer and the Selling Member and their respective counsel as reasonably necessary to cause the Company to consummate such Drag-Along Transfer.
     Section 8.06 Participation Redemption. At any time following the Preferred Payment, the Company may redeem (the “Participation Redemption”) the Preferred Participating Return by (i) following an Initial Public Offering, providing the Preferred Members with a redemption notice indicating the Participating Fair Market Value and the proposed closing date of the Participation Redemption (which shall be no earlier than five business days from the date of the redemption notice) and, upon the closing of the Participation Redemption, distributing to the Preferred Members, pro rata in accordance with their Preferred Units, an amount equal to the Participating Fair Market Value; and (ii) prior to an Initial Public Offering, providing the Preferred Members with a redemption notice (the “Redemption Notice”) indicating the Board of Managers’ good faith determination of the Participating Fair Market Value and the proposed closing date of the Participation Redemption (which shall be no earlier than five business days from the date of the redemption notice) and, subject to the right of a Majority in Interest of the Preferred Members to contest such good faith determination as described below, upon the closing of the Participation Redemption on the date specified in the Redemption Notice, distributing to the Preferred Members, pro rata in accordance with their Preferred Units, an amount equal to the Participating Fair Market Value; provided, however, that should a Majority in Interest of the Preferred Members contest in good faith the Board of Managers’ determination

43


 

of the Participation Fair Market Value by providing the Company with notice of such contest within ten days of the Redemption Notice, the final determination of the Participation Fair Market Value shall be made by an investment banking firm of national standing designated by mutual agreement of the Company and the contesting Preferred Members, which determination shall be final and binding on the Members and the Company. The fees and expenses of such investment banking firm shall be borne by the Company.
     Section 8.07 Public Offerings. Until the Preferred Payment shall have occurred, a Majority in Interest of the Preferred Members shall have the right to appoint one of the global coordinators (who shall also serve as lead book-running managers) (the “Global Coordinators”) for each Public Offering occurring prior thereto, and the AIG Member shall have the right to appoint one of the Global Coordinators, and after prior consultations with the Preferred Members, any additional Global Coordinators and book runners for each such Public Offering. The additional book runners, if any, shall report to the Global Coordinators who shall be responsible on a joint basis for overseeing the book runners and determining their compensation and allocations and all other important matters for which lead underwriters are customarily responsible in public offerings of securities of this type.
ARTICLE IX
DISSOLUTION; LIQUIDATION
     Section 9.01 Dissolution. The Company shall be dissolved and its affairs wound up on the first to occur of any of the following events:
          (a) the prior approval of both (x) the Board of Managers and (y) unless the Preferred Payment has occurred or the dissolution will result in payment of the Preferred Payment in full and, as long as the Consent Holder holds Preferred Interests, the Consent Holder (as contemplated by Section 4.01(d)), to dissolve the Company; or
          (b) any other event sufficient under the Act to cause the dissolution of the Company.
     Section 9.02 Final Accounting. Upon the dissolution of the Company, a proper accounting shall be made from the date of the last previous accounting to the date of dissolution.
     Section 9.03 Liquidation.
          (a) Dissolution of the Company shall be effective as of the date on which the event occurs giving rise to the dissolution and all Members shall be given prompt notice thereof in accordance with Article XI hereof, but the Company shall not terminate until the assets of the Company have been distributed as provided for in Section 9.03(c) hereof. Notwithstanding the dissolution of the Company, prior to the termination of the Company, the business, assets and affairs of the Company shall continue to be governed by this Agreement.
          (b) Upon the dissolution of the Company, the Board of Managers, or, if there is no Board of Managers, a person selected by the Members, acting unanimously, shall act as the liquidator (the “Liquidator”) of the Company to wind up the Company. The Liquidator shall

44


 

have full power and authority to sell, assign and encumber any or all of the Company’s assets and to wind up and liquidate the affairs of the Company in an orderly and business-like manner.
          (c) The Liquidator shall distribute all proceeds from liquidation in the following order of priority:
               (i) first, to creditors of the Company (including creditors who are Members) in satisfaction of the liabilities of the Company (whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof); and
               (ii) second, to the Members in the same manner in which non-liquidating distributions are made pursuant to Section 5.02 hereof.
               (iii) The Liquidator shall determine whether any assets of the Company shall be liquidated through sale or shall be distributed in kind. A distribution in kind of an asset to a Member shall be considered, for the purposes of this Article IX, a distribution in an amount equal to the fair market value of the assets so distributed as determined by the Liquidator in its reasonable discretion.
     Section 9.04 Cancellation of Certificate. Upon the completion of the distribution of Company assets as provided in Section 9.03 hereof, the Company shall be terminated and the person acting as Liquidator shall cause the cancellation of the Certificate and shall take such other actions as may be necessary or appropriate to terminate the Company.

     Section 11.02 Amendments by the Members. This Agreement and the Certificate may be modified, amended or waived from time to time as determined and agreed by (i) a Majority in Interest of the Common Members and (ii) a Majority in Interest of the Preferred Members; provided, however, that no amendment that has a material and adverse and disproportionate effect on any Member as compared to the other Members holding the same class of Securities shall be approved without the consent of such Member.
     Section 11.03 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each one of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.
     Section 11.04 Construction; Headings. Whenever the feminine, masculine, neuter, singular or plural shall be used in this Agreement, such construction shall be given to such words or phrases as shall impart to this Agreement a construction consistent with the interest of the Members entering into this Agreement. Where used herein, the term “Federal” shall refer to the U.S. Federal government. As used herein, “including” or include” shall mean “including without limitation.” The headings and captions herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to govern, limit or aid in the construction of any term or provision hereof. It is the intention of the parties that every covenant, term, and provision of this Agreement shall be construed simply according to its fair meaning and not strictly for or against any party (notwithstanding any rule of law requiring an Agreement to be strictly construed against the drafting party), it being understood that the parties to this Agreement are sophisticated and have had adequate opportunity and means to retain counsel to represent their interests and to otherwise negotiate the provisions of this Agreement. To the extent that any ambiguity or inconsistency arises with respect to any provision(s) of this Agreement (other than any provision(s) relating to the Preferred Interests or any rights or obligations of any Preferred Member, including the FRBNY Member), the Board of Managers shall resolve such ambiguity or inconsistency in good faith and such resolution shall be binding upon the Members.
     Section 11.05 Severability.

All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon each of the parties hereto and their respective Permitted Transferees and, in the case of any FRBNY Member (other than rights which inure solely to the benefit of the Consent Holder and therefore shall not be transferable other than to a Permitted Transferee), any other transferee of the Preferred Units, if any; provided, however, that no Transfer of the Interest of any Member shall be made except in accordance with the provisions of Article VIII hereof.
     Section 11.09 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Schedules hereto) and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement among the Members and the Company or any Subsidiary with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any agreement or understanding entered into as of a date prior to the date hereof among or between them with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

     Section 11.12 Remedies and Waivers.

     Section 11.14 Initial Public Offering.
          (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein but subject to Section 4.01(d), in connection with any Initial Public Offering approved in accordance with this Agreement, the Members hereby agree to discuss in good faith whether any of the rights and obligations of the parties hereto and the Company under this Agreement should be amended, restructured or terminated, including, without limitation, whether any of the rights set forth in Section 4.01(d) or 8.04 hereof should be terminated or made subject to any time limitations (or time and volume limitations in the case of Section 5.04 hereof), in order to permit the Initial Public Offering to be effected in a manner consistent with applicable Law, market custom and the recommendations of the Global Coordinators in light of market conditions at such time and the listing requirements of the exchange or market on which the Initial Public Offering is to be effected, taking into account, among other things, the rights of the Preferred Members hereunder and their goal and expectation that the Preferred Payment be effected as promptly as practicable after the date hereof; provided, however, that this sentence shall not in any way either (x) obligate any of the Members or the Company to agree to any amendment, restructuring or termination of any such rights or (y) affect or nullify any rights or obligations of the Members or the Company under this Agreement.
          (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein but subject to Section 4.01(d), in connection with any Initial Public Offering of the Company (or its successor corporation) or any newly formed corporation as described below, approved in accordance with this Agreement, and upon the request of the Board of Managers, each of the Members hereby agrees that it will, at the expense of the Entity subject to such Public Offering, take such action and execute such documents as may reasonably be necessary to effect such Public Offering as expeditiously as possible, including, without limitation, taking all such actions and executing such documents as may reasonably be necessary to convert the Company into a corporation or to contribute its respective Securities to a newly formed corporation, in each case substantially concurrently with the closing of such Public Offering; provided, however, that in connection with any such conversion or contribution (i) each Preferred Member shall be entitled to receive preferred stock of the corporation whose shares of common stock are being sold in connection with such Public Offering with the same economic rights as such Preferred Member was entitled to prior to such conversion or contribution, including with an aggregate liquidation preference equal to the amount such Preferred Member would be entitled to receive, in respect of the Preferred Units which such Preferred Member held in the Company immediately prior to such conversion or contribution, under Section 5.02 hereof if a liquidation of the Company had occurred immediately prior to the consummation of such Public Offering with the proceeds in such liquidation equal in amount to the implied aggregate equity valuation of the Company (as reasonably determined by the Board of Managers in good faith with the reasonable agreement of a Majority in Interest of the Preferred Members) immediately prior to the consummation of such

49


 

Public Offering; (ii) the Common Members shall be entitled to receive that value of common stock of the corporation whose shares of common stock are being sold in connection with such Public Offering as equals the amount such Common Member would be entitled to receive, relative to the Common Units which such Member held in the Company immediately prior to such conversion or contribution, under Section 5.02 hereof if a liquidation of the Company had occurred immediately prior to the consummation of such Public Offering with the proceeds in such liquidation equal in amount to the implied aggregate equity valuation of the Company (as reasonably determined by the Board of Managers in good faith with the reasonable agreement of a Majority in Interest of the Preferred Members) immediately prior to the consummation of such Public Offering; and (iii) each of the parties hereto and the Entity whose Securities will be the subject of such Initial Public Offering shall enter into, as a condition thereto, a shareholders agreement on substantially the same terms and conditions, mutatis mutandis, as set forth herein; provided further that, in connection with any such conversion or contribution, at any time and from time to time following the expiration of any lock-up period for an Initial Public Offering agreed to between the Preferred Members and the underwriters of any Initial Public Offering (but in no event more than 180 days after the consummation thereof), (A) with respect to the FRBNY Member, for as long as the FRBNY Member owns any Preferred Units, the FRBNY Member shall, at any time (i) during the Initial Period, upon prior consultation with, and during the 12-month period following the date of this Agreement the prior concurrence of, the AIG Credit Facility Trust, be entitled to make a Conversion Demand and (ii) following the Initial Period, in its sole discretion, be entitled to make a Conversion Demand; and (B) with respect to the Majority Preferred Members, (i) during the Initial Period, will not be entitled to make a Conversion Demand, and (ii) following the Initial Period, shall, in their sole discretion, be entitled to make a Conversion Demand (each of the FRBNY Member with respect to clause (A) of this proviso and the Majority Preferred Members with respect to clause (B) of this proviso, a “Conversion Demanding Member”). For purposes of this Section 11.14(b), a “Conversion Demand” means the Conversion Demanding Member may demand that any shares of preferred stock issued to the Conversion Demanding Member shall convert, in whole or in part, to shares of common stock of the Entity subject to such Public Offering with a Trading Value that is equal to the then current liquidation preference on such preferred stock up to a maximum number of shares of common stock of the Entity subject to such Public Offering as are authorized but not outstanding at the time of such conversion; provided further that any such conversion into shares of common stock shall occur concurrently with and as a condition precedent to the closing of a sale by the Conversion Demanding Member of such shares of common stock (which sale would be subject to any restrictions or lock-up periods they may be subject to at such time or otherwise having been agreed to by the Preferred Members pursuant to this Section 11.14 or otherwise). In connection with any such conversion of the Company into a corporation or contribution of the Securities to a newly formed corporation, the Company and the Preferred Members will jointly determine a sufficient (but fixed) number of shares of common stock to be authorized by such new or successor Entity that will be subject to such Public Offering at the time of formation under its certificate of incorporation or comparable organizational documents as is reasonably sufficient to permit the conversion of the preferred stock into shares of common stock of such Entity as will reasonably be necessary to satisfy the liquidation preference of such preferred stock.
          (c) Without limitation of the provisions of Sections 11.14(a) and 11.14(b), (A) the Members agree to enter into customary lock-up agreements with the underwriters of any

50


 

Initial Public Offering and a registration rights agreement to be mutually agreed, provided, however, that no such lock-up agreement or registration rights agreement shall provide for any Preferred Member to be bound by any lock-up period exceeding 180 days and (B) in connection with any Public Offering, the Company shall take all necessary actions as expeditiously as possible to effect the registration of any Securities to be offered in any Public Offering under the Securities Act and/or otherwise comply with all requirements of the securities Laws of the jurisdiction(s) governing any Public Offering and any applicable listing standards of any stock exchange or quotation system upon which such Securities are to be listed or quoted.
     Section 11.15 Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process. The Members hereby consent to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court located within the area encompassed by the State of Delaware and irrevocably agree that all actions or proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be litigated in such courts. Each of the Members accepts for itself and in connection with its respective properties, generally and unconditionally, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the aforesaid courts and waives any defense of forum non conveniens, and irrevocably agrees to be bound by any final, nonappealable judgment rendered thereby in connection with this agreement.
     Section 11.16 Waiver of Jury Trial. The Members waive their respective rights to a jury trial of any claim or cause of action based upon or arising out of this Agreement or any dealings between them relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and the relationship that is being established. The Members also waive any bond or surety or security upon such bond which might, but for this waiver, be required of any of the other parties. The scope of this waiver is intended to be all-encompassing of any and all disputes that may be filed in any court and that relate to the subject matter of this Agreement, including, without limitation, contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty claims, and all other common law and statutory claims. The Members acknowledge that this waiver is a material inducement to enter into a business relationship, that each has already relied on the waiver in entering into this Agreement and that each will continue to rely on the waiver in their related future dealings. The Members further warrant and represent that each Member has reviewed this waiver with its legal counsel, and that each Member knowingly and voluntarily waives its jury trial rights following consultation with legal counsel. This waiver is irrevocable, meaning that it may not be modified either orally or in writing, and the waiver shall apply to any subsequent amendments, renewals, supplements or modifications to this Agreement or to any other documents or agreements relating to the transaction completed hereby. In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court.
     Section 11.17 Fees and Expenses. The AIG Member will bear and pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of the FRBNY in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its financial or other consultants, investment bankers, accountants and counsel, in accordance with Section 8.05 of the Credit Agreement.
     Section 11.18 Regulated Insurance Companies. Each of the Members and the Company acknowledges that the Insurance Subsidiaries are regulated Entities whose businesses are subject to laws, regulations, directives or orders issued from time to time by the relevant regulators and no term or condition of this Agreement shall be interpreted in any manner that would require any

51


 

Member or the Company to take any action (or cause such action to be taken) that would violate such Laws, regulations, directives or orders.

WITNESSETH:
     WHEREAS, American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”) formed the Company as a limited liability company pursuant to the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (6 Del.

     WHEREAS, the parties acknowledge the public policy objectives of the FRBNY and the U.S. Government as well as the responsibilities and obligations of the Board of AIG to enter into an agreement which represents the best interests of its stockholders; and

 


 

     WHEREAS, simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, AIG will transfer the Preferred Units (the “Preferred Transfer”) to the FRBNY in accordance with and pursuant to that certain Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) between AIG and the FRBNY dated as of June 25, 2009; and
     WHEREAS, AIG wishes to effect (i) the amendment and restatement of the First Amended LLC Agreement and (ii) the continuation of the Company, in each case, on the terms set forth herein.

     Each of the Members and the Company hereby agrees and acknowledges that the provisions set forth in this Section 4.01(d) are necessary and appropriate to protect the rights and preferences attached to the Junior Preferred Interests.
          (e) Notwithstanding Section 4.01(a) hereof, until the Senior Preferred Redemption shall have occurred, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of the Material Subsidiaries and/or Subsidiaries (as specified below) to, take any Senior Significant Action without obtaining the prior written consent of a Majority in Interest of the Senior Preferred Members (after the Closing, in accordance with Section 4.01(f) hereof); provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.01(e) will prohibit the Company or any Subsidiary (i) from taking any of the actions set forth on Schedule V; (ii) from complying with any applicable Law or regulatory requirement, directive or order of any relevant Department; or (iii) from taking any Senior Significant Action if, as a result thereof, the entire Senior Liquidation Preference will be distributed to the holders of the Senior Preferred Units. “Senior Significant Action” means any of the following:

26


 

set forth in Section 10.01 or any other individual as may be specified by the FRBNY Member as replacing him or her (either such individual set forth in Section 10.01 hereof or any subsequent replacement thereof, the “Consent Request Contact”) a written request for consent (a “Significant Action Request Notice”), setting forth sufficient detail regarding the facts and circumstances of such proposed Junior Significant Action or Senior Significant Action (including all financial and background information) to enable the FRBNY Member to make a reasonably informed decision with respect to such request for consent. The FRBNY Member shall only have been deemed to have provided its written consent to any Junior Significant Action or Senior Significant Action for purposes of Section 4.01(d) or Section 4.01(e), respectively, hereof if the Consent Request Contact has delivered to the Company a copy of the Significant Action Request Notice with respect to such Junior Significant Action or Senior Significant Action which has been countersigned by the Consent Request Contact on behalf of the FRBNY Member. The FRBNY Member agrees to use reasonable efforts to cause a decision as to whether or not to grant its consent to any proposed Junior Significant Action or Senior Significant Action to be made within 30 calendar days after delivery of a conforming Significant Action Request Notice with respect thereto to the Consent Request Contact, but the failure to act within such time period shall not in any way affect the FRBNY Member’s rights under Section 4.01(d) or Section 4.01(e) or any party’s other rights or obligations under this Agreement. The parties hereto agree that any consent granted with respect to any Junior Significant Action or Senior Significant Action in accordance with this Section 4.01(f) shall be deemed to have been provided for all other purposes for which the consent of the FRBNY Member may be required with respect to such Junior Significant Action or Senior Significant Action under this Agreement or the Credit Agreement. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the rights and obligations of the parties hereto and thereto shall be without prejudice to the rights and obligations of the FRBNY and AIG under the Credit Agreement.
     Section 4.02 Actions by the Board of Managers. Except as may be expressly limited by the provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Sections 4.01(a)(iii), 4.01(a)(vi), 4.01(a)(vii), 4.01(d) and 4.01(e) hereof, each Manager is specifically authorized to execute, sign, seal and deliver in the name and on behalf of the Company any and all agreements, certificates, instruments or other documents requisite to carrying out the intentions and purposes of this Agreement and matters approved by the Board of Managers with respect to the Company.
     Section 4.03 Expenses. The AIG Member shall pay for any and all expenses, costs and liabilities incurred by the Company in the conduct of the Company Business in accordance with the provisions hereof (collectively, “Company Expenses”), including by way of example and not limitation:

          (a) Subject to applicable Law, no Indemnified Party shall be liable, in damages or otherwise, to the Company, the Members or any of their Affiliates for any act or omission performed or omitted by any of them in good faith (including, without limitation, any act or omission performed or omitted by any of them in reliance upon and in accordance with the opinion or advice of experts, including, without limitation, of legal counsel as to matters of law, of accountants as to matters of accounting, or of investment bankers or appraisers as to matters of valuation), except (i) for any act taken by any Manager, Common Member, Preferred Member and each of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, shareholders, partners, managers and members and each officer of the Company (each, an “Indemnified Party”) (each of which shall be a third party beneficiary of this Agreement for purposes of this Section 4.04) purporting to bind the Company that has not been authorized pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) any act or omission with respect to which such Indemnified Party was grossly negligent or engaged in intentional misconduct.
          (b) No Indemnified Party acting under this Agreement shall be liable to the Company or to any Member for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement.
     Section 4.05 Indemnification.
          (a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the AIG Member shall and does hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless and pay all judgments and claims against any Indemnified Party (each of which shall be a third party beneficiary of this Agreement for purposes of this Section 4.05), from and against any loss or damage incurred by an Indemnified Party or by the Company for any act or omission taken or suffered by such Indemnified Party in good faith (including, without limitation, any act or omission taken or suffered by any of them in reliance upon and in accordance with the opinion or advice of experts, including, without limitation, of legal counsel as to matters of law, of accountants as to matters of accounting, or of investment bankers or appraisers as to matters of valuation) in connection with the Company Business, including costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and any amount expended in the settlement of any claims or loss or damage, except with respect to (i) any act taken by such Indemnified Party purporting to bind the Company that has not been authorized pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) any act or omission with respect to which such Indemnified Party was grossly negligent or engaged in intentional misconduct. For purposes of Sections 4.04 and 4.05, the term “Indemnified Party” shall not include the AIG Member in its capacity as the indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 4.05.
          (b) The satisfaction of any indemnification obligation pursuant to Section 4.05(a) hereof shall be from and limited to Company assets (including insurance and any

28


 

agreements pursuant to which the Company, its Managers, officers or employees are entitled to indemnification) and no Member, in such capacity, shall be subject to personal liability therefor.
          (c) Expenses reasonably incurred by an Indemnified Party in defense or settlement of any claim that may be subject to a right of indemnification hereunder shall be advanced by the AIG Member prior to the final disposition thereof upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party to repay such amount to the extent that it shall be determined upon final adjudication after all possible appeals have been exhausted that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder.
          (d) The AIG Member shall purchase and maintain customary director and officer insurance on behalf of all officers of the Company, Managers and other Indemnified Parties against any liability which may be asserted against, or expense which may be incurred by, any such Person in connection with the Company’s activities.
     Section 4.06 Notice of Rights. The rights conferred upon the Indemnified Parties in Sections 4.04 and 4.05 hereof shall be contract rights that vest upon the occurrence or the alleged occurrence of any act or omission giving rise to any proceeding or threatened proceeding and such rights shall continue as to an Indemnified Party who has ceased to be a manager or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnified Party’s heirs, executors and administrators. Any amendment, repeal or alteration of Section 4.04 or 4.05 hereof that adversely affects any right of an Indemnified Party or its successors shall be prospective only and shall not limit or eliminate any such right with respect to any proceeding involving any occurrence or alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that took place prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal.
     Section 4.07 Rights to Appoint Board Observers. Prior to the Junior Preferred Payment and so long as the Consent Holder holds any Junior Preferred Interests, the Consent Holder shall have the right to appoint two individuals to attend meetings of the Board of Managers (and any committees thereof); whether such meeting is conducted in person or by teleconference, as non-voting observers (the “Observers”). The Observers shall be entitled to receive not less than five business days’ advance written notice of all such meetings of the Board of Managers (and any committees thereof) and to obtain copies of all materials provided to the Board of Managers (and any committees thereof); provided, however, that such Observers will be asked to leave all or a portion of a meeting of the Board of Managers if attendance at such meeting or portion thereof would in the reasonable judgment of the Company’s counsel, adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel. The Company shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each such Observer in connection with attending regular and special meetings of the Board of Managers (and any committees thereof).
     Section 4.08 Compliance with Laws. The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain a written program approved by the chief compliance officer of AIG and which is reasonably designed to ensure compliance with applicable Laws which is at least as effective as the legal compliance program currently maintained by the AIG Member and which otherwise conforms to the maximum extent practicable with best practices within the global insurance industry. Any such program will conform to all current and future AIG compliance, human resource, information technology, legal, audit and other existing or future programs, policies and/or procedures.

          (a) All capitalized terms in this Section 7.04 not defined in this Agreement shall have the definitions assigned to them in the Purchase Agreement. It is the intention of the parties that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (1) the transfer by AIG of the equity of ALICO to the Company in return for the Preferred Units shall be treated as occurring when the Company is disregarded under Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-2(c)(2) as a separate entity from AIG; (2) as a result, such transfer shall be disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes; (3) the election under Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-3(c) to treat the Company as a corporation shall be treated as a fully taxable transfer by AIG of the equity of ALICO to the Company in return for all the Units at the time the election is effective; (4) the Senior Preferred Units shall be treated as nonvoting stock in the Company; (5) the Junior Preferred Units shall be treated as stock in the Company not described in Code Section 1504(a)(4), and, as a result, AIG and the Company shall not be members of an affiliated group within the meaning of Code Section 1504(a); (6) the Purchase Agreement shall constitute a binding contract in effect immediately before the election described in clause (3) hereof is effective pursuant to which the sale described in clause (7) shall occur; (7) the sale of the Preferred Units to the FRBNY in return for the Consideration shall be respected in accordance with its form; and (8) full force and effect shall be accorded to any election made pursuant to Section 7.04(b).

          (b) Unless AIG obtains the FRBNY Member’s consent not to make such an election (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), (1) the Company and AIG shall jointly make an election under Code Section 338(h)(10) in respect of the transfer described in Section 7.04(a) (3), and (2) the Company shall make an election under Sections 338(g) or 338(h)(10) of the Code in respect of the deemed sale (resulting from such election under Code Section 338(h)(10)) of the stock of any one or more of the direct or indirect subsidiaries of ALICO designated by AIG.

33


 

to as an “Authorized Representative”)); provided, however, that such Preferred Member or any of its Authorized Representatives may make such disclosure, subject to applicable Law, to the extent that (i) the information being disclosed is in connection with such Preferred Member’s tax returns or concerns the tax structure or tax treatment of the Company or its transactions, (ii) such disclosure is to any officer, director, shareholder or partner of such Preferred Member, (iii) the information being disclosed is otherwise generally available to the public, (iv) such disclosure is requested by any governmental body, agency, official or authority having jurisdiction over such Preferred Member, (v) such disclosure, based upon the advice of legal counsel of such Preferred Member or Authorized Representative, is otherwise required by applicable Law or statute or (vi) such disclosure is made to any Permitted Transferee or Third Party in connection with any proposed Transfer of Securities, which Permitted Transferee or Third Party is subject to a confidentiality agreement for the benefit of the Company with terms no less protective than this Section 7.05(a). Prior to making any disclosure described in clause (iv) or (v) of this Section 7.05(a), a Preferred Member (other than the FRBNY or any Permitted Transferee thereof) shall notify the Board of Managers of such disclosure and of such advice of counsel. Each Preferred Member (other than the FRBNY or any Permitted Transferee thereof) shall use all reasonable efforts to cause each of its Authorized Representatives to comply with the obligations of such Preferred Member under this Section 7.05(a). In connection with any disclosure described in clause (iv) or (v) above, the disclosing Preferred Member shall cooperate with the Company in seeking any protective order or other appropriate arrangement as the Board of Managers may request.
          (b) Each of the AIG Member and the Company hereby agrees to provide, or cause to be provided, to the Comptroller General of the United States (the “Comptroller General”), upon request, access to information, data, schedules, books, accounts, financial records, reports, files, electronic communications, or other papers, things or property that relate to assistance provided by the FRBNY pursuant to any action taken by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Board of Governors”) under section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. § 343), to the extent required by, and in accordance with the provisions of, 31 U.S.C. § 714(d)(3) (as added by section 801 of the Helping Families Save Their Homes Act of 2009, Pub. L. No. 111-22 (the “Helping Families Act”)). The parties hereby acknowledge that the Helping Families Act provides that, subject to certain exceptions enumerated in 31 U.S.C. § 714(c)(4) (as amended), an officer or an employee of the U.S. Government Accountability Office (the “GAO”) (including the Comptroller General) may not disclose to any person outside the GAO information obtained in audits or examinations conducted under 31 U.S.C. § 714(e) (as amended) and maintained as confidential by the Board of Governors or a Federal Reserve bank (including the FRBNY).
ARTICLE VIII
TRANSFERS AND OTHER LIQUIDITY RIGHTS
     Section 8.01 Transfer in General.
          (a) Subject to any restrictions on transferability by operation of Law or contained elsewhere in this Agreement (including Section 4.01(d) hereof) and any other requirement of applicable Law imposed on the Company or the Members or in accordance with Section 11.14, (i) the Preferred Members may freely Transfer their Preferred Units to any Person

34


 

and (ii) no Common Member shall Transfer any portion of its Interest or its Units, directly or indirectly, to any Person other than a Permitted Transferee, without the prior written consent of each of (A) the Board of Managers and (B) prior to the Junior Preferred Payment, a Majority in Interest of the Junior Preferred Members. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary but subject to the provisions of this Article VIII, following the Junior Preferred Payment, the Common Members may freely transfer their Common Units to any Person. For the avoidance of doubt, the Junior Preferred Units and the Senior Preferred Units do not need to be transferred together and may be transferred in separate transactions.
          (b) A permitted Transfer of Units pursuant to Section 8.01(a) hereof shall be effective as of the date of (i) compliance with the conditions to such transfer referred to in this Section 8.01 and (ii) admission of the Substituted Member pursuant to Section 8.02 hereof. Distributions made before the effective date of such Transfer shall be paid to the transferor, and distributions made after such date shall be paid to the transferee.
          (c) Any Member who effectively transfers any Units pursuant to this Article VIII shall cease to be a Member with respect to such Units and shall no longer have any rights or privileges of a Member with respect to such Units (it being understood, however, that the applicable provisions of Sections 4.04, 4.05 and 7.01 hereof shall continue to inure to such Person’s benefit). Nothing contained herein shall relieve any Member who Transfers any Units or other interest in the Company from any liability or obligation of such Member to the Company or the other Members with respect to such Units that may exist on the date of such Transfer or that is otherwise specified in the Delaware Act and incorporated into this Agreement or for any liability to the Company or any other Person for any breaches of any representations, warranties or covenants by such Member (in its capacity as such) contained herein or in other agreements with the Company.
          (d) In addition to any other restrictions on Transfer imposed by this Agreement, no Member may Transfer any Unit (except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or Section 8.05) without first delivering to the Board of Managers, if requested, an opinion of counsel (reasonably acceptable in form and substance to the Board of Managers) that neither registration nor qualification under the Securities Act or applicable state securities Laws is required in connection with such Transfer. The Board of Managers may waive such opinion requirement on advice of counsel acceptable to the Board of Managers.
     Section 8.02 Admission of Members. A Person shall be admitted to the Company (without requiring any consent of the Board of Managers or of the Members pursuant to Section 11.02 hereof) in connection with the transfer of any Units to such Person as permitted under the terms of this Agreement (a “Substituted Member”), or in connection with the issuance of new Units by the Company to an Additional Member by accepting and agreeing to be bound by all of the terms and conditions hereof by executing a counterpart to this Agreement and (excluding AIG and the FRBNY) entering into a joinder agreement in the form of Schedule VI attached hereto.
     Section 8.03 Transfers in Violation of Agreement. Any Transfer or attempted Transfer in violation of this Article VIII shall be void, and the Company shall not record such purported

35


 

Transfer on its books or treat any purported transferee as the owner of any Units subject to such purported Transfer.
     Section 8.04 Demand Liquidity Event.
          (a) Prior to the Junior Preferred Payment, (A) with respect to the FRBNY Member, for as long as the FRBNY Member owns any Junior Preferred Units, the FRBNY Member shall, at any time (i) during the Initial Period, upon prior consultation with, and during the 12-month period following the date of this Agreement the prior concurrence of, the AIG Credit Facility Trust, be entitled to make an IPO Demand and (ii) following the Initial Period, in its sole discretion, be entitled to make an IPO Demand; and (B) with respect to the Majority Junior Preferred Members, (i) during the Initial Period, will not be entitled to make an IPO Demand, and (ii) following the Initial Period, shall, in their sole discretion, be entitled to make an IPO Demand (each of the FRBNY Member with respect to Section 8.04(a)(A) and the Majority Junior Preferred Members with respect to Section 8.04(a)(B), an “IPO Demanding Member”). An “IPO Demand” means that the IPO Demanding Member may require the Company to use its best efforts to effect an Initial Public Offering of the Company (or its successor corporation) pursuant to Section 11.14. In connection with any such Initial Public Offering, the Company shall not be required to distribute any proceeds of such Initial Public Offering.
          (b) Prior to the Junior Preferred Payment, (A) with respect to the FRBNY Member, for as long as the FRBNY Member owns any Junior Preferred Units, the FRBNY Member shall, at any time (i) during the Initial Period, upon prior consultation with, and during the 12-month period following the date of this Agreement the prior concurrence of, the AIG Credit Facility Trust, be entitled to make a Sale of the Company Demand and (ii) following the Initial Period, in its sole discretion, be entitled to make a Sale of the Company Demand; and (B) with respect to the Majority Junior Preferred Members, (i) during the Initial Period, will not be entitled to make a Sale of the Company Demand, and (ii) following the Initial Period, shall, in their sole discretion, be entitled to make a Sale of the Company Demand (each of the FRBNY Member with respect to Section 8.04(b)(A) and the Majority Junior Preferred Members with respect to Section 8.04(b)(B), a “Sale Demanding Member”). A “Sale of the Company Demand” means that the Sale Demanding Member may require the Company to use its best efforts to effect a sale of all of the Interests or other outstanding Equity Securities then held by the Members; provided, however, that the proceeds from such sale shall be allocated among the Members in the manner that such proceeds would have been distributed by the Company in accordance with Section 5.03 hereof and any such proceeds allocated to the Junior Preferred Members and Senior Preferred Members shall reduce the Junior Liquidation Preference and the Senior Liquidation Preference, respectively, in the amount so allocated. In connection with any sale of all of the Interests or other outstanding Equity Securities then held by the Members, the Sale Demanding Member may require the Board of Managers and/or the other Members to take any of the actions that may be required by or on behalf of the Company or any such Member in connection with a Drag-Along Transfer pursuant to Section 8.05 hereof.
     Section 8.05 Drag-Along.

36


 

          (a) At any time prior to the Junior Preferred Payment, (A) with respect to the FRBNY Member, for as long as the FRBNY Member owns any Junior Preferred Units, the FRBNY Member shall, at any time (i) during the Initial Period, upon prior consultation with, and during the 12-month period following the date of this Agreement the prior concurrence of, the AIG Credit Facility Trust, be entitled to make a Drag-Along Demand and (ii) following the Initial Period, in its sole discretion, be entitled to make a Drag-Along Demand and (B) with respect to the Majority Junior Preferred Members, (i) during the Initial Period, will not be entitled to make a Drag-Along Demand and (ii) following the Initial Period, shall, in their sole discretion, be entitled to make a Drag-Along Demand (each of the FRBNY Member with respect to Section 8.05(a)(A) and the Majority Junior Preferred Members with respect to Section 8.05(a)(B), a “Selling Member”). A “Drag-Along Demand” means that if the Selling Member agrees to effect a Drag-Along Sale (in any single or series of related transactions) to a non-affiliated Third Party (the “Drag-Along Buyer”), the Selling Member may at any time, pursuant to a Transfer or otherwise (a “Drag-Along Transfer”), exercise drag-along rights in accordance with the terms, conditions and procedures set forth herein.
          (b) The Selling Member shall promptly give notice (a “Drag-Along Notice”) to each of the other Members (the “Drag-Along Members”) not later than 30 days prior to the consummation of the Drag-Along Transfer of any election by the Selling Member to exercise their drag-along rights under this Section 8.05, setting forth the name and address of the Drag-Along Buyer, the proposed amount and form of consideration for the Units, and all other material terms and conditions of the Drag-Along Transfer. Any Drag-Along Transfer shall be at the same purchase price as specified in the Drag-Along Notice and all Members shall receive the same form of consideration in connection with a Drag-Along Transfer and as set forth in Section 8.05(c) hereof.
          (c) The proceeds from the sale of any Drag-Along Transfer shall be allocated to the Members in the manner that such proceeds would have been distributed by the Company in accordance with Section 5.03 hereof and such proceeds distributed to the Junior Preferred Members and Senior Preferred Members shall reduce the Junior Liquidation Preference and the Senior Liquidation Preference, respectively, in the amount so distributed.
          (d) Each Drag-Along Member must agree (i) to make the same representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements as made by the Selling Member in connection with the Drag-Along Transfer (other than any non-competition or similar agreements or covenants that would bind the Drag-Along Member or its Affiliates), and (ii) to the same terms and conditions to the transfer as the Selling Member agrees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, all such representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements shall be made by the Selling Member and Drag-Along Members severally and not jointly and any liability for breach of any such representations and warranties related to the Company shall be allocated among the Selling Member and Drag-Along Members based on the proportion of the consideration received by the Selling Member and Drag-Along Members, and the aggregate amount of liability for the Selling Member and Drag-Along Members shall not exceed the U.S. dollar value of the total consideration to be paid by the Drag-Along Buyer to the Selling Member or Drag-Along Members, respectively.

37


 

          (e) All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Members or the Company in connection with any proposed Drag-Along Transfer (whether or not consummated), including all attorneys’ fees and charges, all accounting fees and charges and all finders, brokerage or investment banking fees, charges or commissions, shall be paid by the Company.
          (f) The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, take all necessary action in connection with the consummation of any Drag-Along Transfer, including providing access to the documents, records and senior management of the Company and its Subsidiaries, entering into an agreement reflecting the terms of the Drag-Along Transfer and executing and delivering any documents reasonably requested by the Drag-Along Buyer and the Selling Member and their respective counsel as reasonably necessary to cause the Company to consummate such Drag-Along Transfer.
     Section 8.06 Participation Redemption. At any time following the Junior Preferred Payment, the Company may redeem (the “Participation Redemption”) the Preferred Participating Return by (i) following an Initial Public Offering, providing the Junior Preferred Members with a redemption notice indicating the Participating Fair Market Value and the proposed closing date of the Participation Redemption (which shall be no earlier than five business days from the date of the redemption notice) and, upon the closing of the Participation Redemption, distributing to the Junior Preferred Members, pro rata in accordance with their Preferred Units, an amount equal to the Participating Fair Market Value; and (ii) prior to an Initial Public Offering, providing the Junior Preferred Members with a redemption notice (the “Redemption Notice”) indicating the Board of Managers’ good faith determination of the Participating Fair Market Value and the proposed closing date of the Participation Redemption (which shall be no earlier than five business days from the date of the redemption notice) and, subject to the right of a Majority in Interest of the Junior Preferred Members to contest such good faith determination as described below, upon the closing of the Participation Redemption on the date specified in the Redemption Notice, distributing to the Junior Preferred Members, pro rata in accordance with their Junior Preferred Units, an amount equal to the Participating Fair Market Value; provided, however, should a Majority in Interest of the Junior Preferred Members contest in good faith the Board of Managers’ determination of the Participation Fair Market Value by providing the Company with notice of contest within ten days of the Redemption Notice, that the final determination of the Participation Fair Market Value shall be made by an investment banking firm of national standing designated by mutual agreement of the Company and the contesting Junior Preferred Members, which determination shall be final and binding on the Members and the Company. The fees and expenses of such investment banking firm shall be borne by the Company.
     Section 8.07 Public Offerings. Until the Junior Preferred Payment shall have occurred, a Majority in Interest of the Junior Preferred Members shall have the right to appoint one of the global coordinators (who shall also serve as lead book-running managers) (the “Global Coordinators”) for each Public Offering occurring prior thereto, and the AIG Member shall have the right to appoint one of the Global Coordinators, and after prior consultations with the Preferred Members, any additional Global Coordinators and book runners for each such Public Offering. The additional book runners, if any, shall report to the Global Coordinators who shall be responsible on a joint basis for overseeing the book runners and determining their compensation and allocations and all other important matters for which lead underwriters are customarily responsible in public offerings of securities of this type.

          (b) Upon the dissolution of the Company, the Board of Managers, or, if there is no Board of Managers, a person selected by the Members, acting unanimously, shall act as the liquidator (the “Liquidator”) of the Company to wind up the Company.

               (ii) second, to the Members of the Company in accordance with Section 5.03 hereof.
               (iii) The Liquidator shall determine whether any assets of the Company shall be liquidated through sale or shall be distributed in kind.

     Section 11.03 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each one of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.
     Section 11.04 Construction; Headings. Whenever the feminine, masculine, neuter, singular or plural shall be used in this Agreement, such construction shall be given to such words or phrases as shall impart to this Agreement a construction consistent with the interest of the Members entering into this Agreement. Where used herein, the term “Federal” shall refer to the U.S. Federal government. As used herein, “including” or include” shall mean “including without limitation.” The headings and captions herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to govern, limit or aid in the construction of any term or provision hereof. It is the intention of the parties that every covenant, term, and provision of this Agreement shall be construed simply according to its fair meaning and not strictly for or against any party (notwithstanding any rule of law requiring an Agreement to be strictly construed against the drafting party), it being understood that the parties to this Agreement are sophisticated and have had adequate opportunity and means to retain counsel to represent their interests and to otherwise negotiate the provisions of this Agreement. To the extent that any ambiguity or inconsistency arises with respect to any provision(s) of this Agreement (other than any provision(s) relating to the Preferred Interests or any rights or obligations of any Preferred Member, including the FRBNY Member), the Board of Managers shall resolve such ambiguity or inconsistency in good faith and such resolution shall be binding upon the Members.
     Section 11.05 Severability.

42


 

provided, however, that no Transfer of the Interest of any Member shall be made except in accordance with the provisions of Article VIII hereof.
     Section 11.09 Entire Agreement.

The rights, powers and remedies provided hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights, powers and remedies provided by applicable Law.
     Section 11.13 Public Announcements. No Member will issue any public announcements or disseminate any advertising or marketing material concerning the existence or terms of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written approval of each of the AIG Member and the FRBNY Member, except to the extent such announcement is required by applicable Law. If a public announcement is required by applicable Law, the Members will consult with each other before making the public announcement. To the extent any announcement or any advertising or marketing material permitted under this Section 11.13 expressly refers to any Member or its Affiliates, such Member shall, in its sole discretion, have the right to revise such announcement or advertising or marketing material prior to granting such written approval.
     Section 11.14 Initial Public Offering.
          (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein but subject to Section 4.01(d), in connection with any Initial Public Offering approved in accordance with this Agreement, the Members hereby agree to discuss in good faith whether any of the rights and obligations of the parties hereto and the Company under this Agreement should be amended, restructured or terminated, including, without limitation, whether any of the rights set forth in Section 4.01(d) or 8.04 hereof should be terminated or made subject to any time limitations, in

43


 

order to permit the Initial Public Offering to be effected in a manner consistent with applicable Law, market custom and the recommendations of the Global Coordinators in light of market conditions at such time and the listing requirements of the exchange or market on which the Initial Public Offering is to be effected, taking into account, among other things, the rights of the Preferred Members hereunder and their goal and expectation that the Senior Preferred Redemption and the Junior Preferred Payment be effected as promptly as practicable after the date hereof; provided, however, that this sentence shall not in any way either (x) obligate any of the Members or the Company to agree to any amendment, restructuring or termination of any such rights or (y) affect or nullify any rights or obligations of the Members or the Company under this Agreement.
          (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein but subject to Section 4.01(d), in connection with any Initial Public Offering of the Company (or its successor corporation) or any newly formed corporation as described below, approved in accordance with this Agreement, and upon the request of the Board of Managers, each of the Members hereby agrees that it will, at the expense of the Entity subject to such Public Offering, take such action and execute such documents as may reasonably be necessary to effect such Public Offering as expeditiously as possible, including, without limitation, taking all such actions and executing such documents as may reasonably be necessary to convert the Company into a corporation or to contribute its respective Securities to a newly formed corporation, in each case substantially concurrently with the closing of such Public Offering; provided, however, that in connection with any such conversion or contribution (i) each Preferred Member shall be entitled to receive preferred stock of the corporation whose shares of common stock are being sold in connection with such Public Offering with the same economic rights as such Preferred Member was entitled to prior to such conversion or contribution, including with an aggregate liquidation preference equal to the amount such Preferred Member would be entitled to receive, in respect of the Preferred Units which such Preferred Member held in the Company immediately prior to such conversion or contribution, under Section 5.03 hereof if a liquidation of the Company had occurred immediately prior to the consummation of such Public Offering with the proceeds in such liquidation equal in amount to the implied aggregate equity valuation of the Company (as reasonably determined by the Board of Managers in good faith with the reasonable agreement of a Majority in Interest of the Preferred Members) immediately prior to the consummation of such Public Offering; (ii) the Common Members shall be entitled to receive that value of common stock of the corporation whose shares of common stock are being sold in connection with such Public Offering as equals the amount such Common Member would be entitled to receive, relative to the Common Units which such Member held in the Company immediately prior to such conversion or contribution, under Section 5.03 hereof if a liquidation of the Company had occurred immediately prior to the consummation of such Public Offering with the proceeds in such liquidation equal in amount to the implied aggregate equity valuation of the Company (as reasonably determined by the Board of Managers in good faith with the reasonable agreement of a Majority in Interest of the Preferred Members) immediately prior to the consummation of such Public Offering; and (iii) each of the parties hereto and the Entity whose Securities will be the subject of such Initial Public Offering shall enter into, as a condition thereto, a shareholders agreement on substantially the same terms and conditions, mutatis mutandis, as set forth herein; provided further that, in connection with any such conversion or contribution, at any time and from time to time following the expiration of any lock-up period for an Initial Public Offering agreed to between the Preferred Members and the underwriters of any Initial Public Offering (but

44


 

in no event more than 180 days after the consummation thereof), (A) with respect to the FRBNY Member, for as long as the FRBNY Member owns any Preferred Units, the FRBNY Member shall, at any time (i) during the Initial Period, upon prior consultation with, and during the 12-month period following the date of this Agreement the prior concurrence of, the AIG Credit Facility Trust, be entitled to make a Conversion Demand and (ii) following the Initial Period, in its sole discretion, be entitled to make a Conversion Demand; and (B) with respect to the Majority Preferred Members, (i) during the Initial Period, will not be entitled to make a Conversion Demand, and (ii) following the Initial Period, shall, in their sole discretion, be entitled to make a Conversion Demand (each of the FRBNY Member with respect to clause (A) of this proviso and the Majority Preferred Members with respect to clause (B) of this proviso, a “Conversion Demanding Member”). For purposes of this Section 11.14(b), a “Conversion Demand” means the Conversion Demanding Member may demand that any shares of preferred stock issued to the Conversion Demanding Member shall convert, in whole or in part, to shares of common stock of the Entity subject to such Public Offering with a Trading Value that is equal to the then current liquidation preference on such preferred stock up to a maximum number of shares of common stock of the Entity subject to such Public Offering as are authorized but not outstanding at the time of such conversion; provided further that any such conversion into shares of common stock shall occur concurrently with and as a condition precedent to the closing of a sale by the Conversion Demanding Member of such shares of common stock (which sale would be subject to any restrictions or lock-up periods they may be subject to at such time or otherwise having been agreed to by the Preferred Members pursuant to this Section 11.14 or otherwise). In connection with any such conversion of the Company into a corporation or contribution of the Securities to a newly formed corporation, the Company and the Preferred Members will jointly determine a sufficient (but fixed) number of shares of common stock to be authorized by such new or successor Entity that will be subject to such Public Offering at the time of formation under its certificate of incorporation or comparable organizational documents as is reasonably sufficient to permit the conversion of the preferred stock into shares of common stock of such Entity as will reasonably be necessary to satisfy the liquidation preference of such preferred stock.
          (c) Without limitation of the provisions of Sections 11.14(a) and 11.14(b), (A) the Members agree to enter into customary lock-up agreements with the underwriters of any Initial Public Offering and a registration rights agreement to be mutually agreed, provided, however, that no such lock-up agreement or registration rights agreement shall provide for any Preferred Member to be bound by any lock-up period exceeding 180 days and (B) in connection with any Public Offering, the Company shall take all necessary actions as expeditiously as possible to effect the registration of any Securities to be offered in any Public Offering under the Securities Act and/or otherwise comply with all requirements of the securities Laws of the jurisdiction(s) governing any Public Offering and any applicable listing standards of any stock exchange or quotation system upon which such Securities are to be listed or quoted.
     Section 11.15 Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process. The Members hereby consent to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court located within the area encompassed by the State of Delaware and irrevocably agree that all actions or proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be litigated in such courts. Each of the Members accepts for itself and in connection with its respective properties, generally and unconditionally, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the aforesaid courts and waives any defense of forum non

45


 

conveniens, and irrevocably agrees to be bound by any final, nonappealable judgment rendered thereby in connection with this agreement.
     Section 11.16 Waiver of Jury Trial. The Members waive their respective rights to a jury trial of any claim or cause of action based upon or arising out of this Agreement or any dealings between them relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and the relationship that is being established. The Members also waive any bond or surety or security upon such bond which might, but for this waiver, be required of any of the other parties. The scope of this waiver is intended to be all-encompassing of any and all disputes that may be filed in any court and that relate to the subject matter of this Agreement, including, without limitation, contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty claims, and all other common law and statutory claims. The Members acknowledge that this waiver is a material inducement to enter into a business relationship, that each has already relied on the waiver in entering into this Agreement and that each will continue to rely on the waiver in their related future dealings. The Members further warrant and represent that each Member has reviewed this waiver with its legal counsel, and that each Member knowingly and voluntarily waives its jury trial rights following consultation with legal counsel. This waiver is irrevocable, meaning that it may not be modified either orally or in writing, and the waiver shall apply to any subsequent amendments, renewals, supplements or modifications to this Agreement or to any other documents or agreements relating to the transaction completed hereby. In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court.
     Section 11.17 Fees and Expenses. The AIG Member will bear and pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of the FRBNY in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its financial or other consultants, investment bankers, accountants and counsel, in accordance with Section 8.05 of the Credit Agreement.
     Section 11.18 Regulated Insurance Companies. Each of the Members and the Company acknowledges that the Insurance Subsidiaries are regulated Entities whose businesses are subject to laws, regulations, directives or orders issued from time to time by the relevant regulators and no term or condition of this Agreement shall be interpreted in any manner that would require any Member or the Company to take any action (or cause such action to be taken) that would violate such Laws, regulations, directives or orders.
