Guarantee shall be unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by:
(i) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of
any obligation of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person under any Secured
Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise;
(ii) any modification or amendment of or supplement to any Secured Agreement;
13
(iii) any release, impairment, non-perfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect
security for any obligation of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person under
any Secured Agreement;
(iv) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Borrower,
any other Guarantor or any other Person or any of their respective subsidiaries, or any
insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Borrower,
any other Guarantor or any other Person or any of their assets or any resulting release or
discharge of any obligation of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person under
any Secured Agreement;
(v) the existence of any claim, set-off or other right that such Guarantor may have
at any time against the Borrower, any other Guarantor, the Secured Party or any other
Person, whether in connection with the Loan Documents or any unrelated transactions;
provided that nothing herein shall prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate
suit or compulsory counterclaim;
(vi) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Borrower, any
other Guarantor or any other Person for any reason of any Secured Agreement, or any
provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment of any
Secured Obligation by the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person; or
(vii) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Borrower, any
other Guarantor, any other party to any Secured Agreement, the Secured Party or any other
Person, or any other circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this
clause (vii), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense to any obligation
of any Guarantor hereunder.
(c) Release of Secured Guarantees. (i) All the Secured Guarantees will be released when all
the Release Conditions are satisfied. If at any time any payment of a Secured Obligation is
rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency or receivership of the
Borrower or otherwise, the Secured Guarantees shall be reinstated with respect thereto as though
such payment had been due but not made at such time.
(ii) If all the capital stock of a Guarantor or all or substantially all the assets
of a Guarantor are sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of to a Person (other than the
Borrower or one of its Subsidiaries) in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement
(any such sale, a “Sale of Guarantor”), the Secured Party shall release such Guarantor
from its Secured Guarantee; provided that arrangements reasonably satisfactory to
14
the Secured Party have been made to apply the net proceeds thereof as required by the
Credit Agreement.
(iii) In addition to any release permitted by subsection (ii), the Secured Party may
release any Secured Guarantee in its discretion.
(d) Waiver by Guarantors. Each Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment,
demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time
any action be taken by any Person against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person.
(e) Subrogation. A Guarantor that makes a payment with respect to a Secured Obligation
hereunder shall be subrogated to the rights of the payee against the Borrower with respect to such
payment and shall be entitled to contribution from the other Guarantors in accordance with
applicable law; provided that no Guarantor shall enforce any payment, or accept any payment, by way
of subrogation against the Borrower, or by reason of contribution against any other guarantor of
such Secured Obligation, until all the Release Conditions have been satisfied.
(f) Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any Secured Obligation
by the Borrower is stayed by reason of the insolvency or receivership of the Borrower or otherwise,
all Secured Obligations otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any Secured Agreement
shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by the Secured Party.
(g) Right of Set-Off. If any Secured Obligation is not paid promptly when due, the Secured
Party and its Affiliates are authorized, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and
apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time
held and other obligations at any time owing by the Secured Party or its Affiliates to or for the
credit or the account of any Guarantor against the obligations of such Guarantor under its Secured
Guarantee, irrespective of whether or not the Secured Party shall have made any demand thereunder
and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of the Secured Party under this
subsection are in addition to all other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off)
that the Secured Party may have.
(h) Continuing Guarantee. Each Secured Guarantee is a continuing guarantee, shall be binding
on the relevant Guarantor and its successors and assigns, and shall be enforceable by the Secured
Party. If all or part of the Secured Party’s interest in any Secured Obligation is assigned or
otherwise transferred, the transferor’s rights under each Secured Guarantee, to the extent
applicable to the obligation so transferred, shall automatically be transferred with such
obligation.
15
(i) Limitation on Obligations of Guarantor. The obligations of each Guarantor under its
Secured Guarantee shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would
not render such Secured Guarantee subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of applicable law.
Section 3. Grant of Transaction Liens.
(a) The Borrower, in order to secure the Secured Obligations, each Guarantor signing and
delivering a counterpart hereof on the Effective Date and each Guarantor that shall, at any time
after the date hereof, become a “Guarantor” pursuant to Section 18, in order to secure its Secured
Guarantee, subject to clause (d) of this Section 3, grants to the Secured Party a continuing
security interest in all the following property of the Borrower or such Guarantor, as the case may
be, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising and regardless of where located:
(i) all Accounts;
(ii) all Chattel Paper;
(iii) all cash and Deposit Accounts;
(iv) all Documents;
(v) all Equipment;
(vi) all General Intangibles (including (x) any Equity Interests in other Persons
that do not constitute Investment Property and (y) any Intellectual Property);
(vii) all Equity Interests in any Subject Issuer;
(viii) all indebtedness owed by any Subject Issuer;
(ix) all Securities and Instruments evidencing any of the Collateral described in the
foregoing clauses (vii) and (viii);
(x) all Inventory;
(xi) all Investment Property;
(xii) all books and records (including customer lists, credit files, computer
programs, printouts and other computer materials and records) of the Borrower and such
Guarantor pertaining to any of its Collateral;
16
(xiii) such Pledgor’s ownership interest in (1) its Collateral Accounts, (2) all
Financial Assets credited to its Collateral Accounts from time to time and all Security
Entitlements in respect thereof, (3) all cash held in its Collateral Accounts from time to
time and (4) all other money in the possession of the Secured Party; and
(xiv) all Proceeds of the Collateral described in the foregoing clauses (i) through
(xiii);
provided that (i) the Excluded Property is excluded from the foregoing grant of security interests
and (ii) for each Guarantor, the amount of the Secured Obligations secured by the foregoing
security interest of such Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount permitted by the terms
of each Applicable Financing Agreement limiting the amount of “Debt” or “Indebtedness” that can be
so secured by such Guarantor without contravening such Applicable Financing Agreement or being
obligated under such Applicable Financing Agreement to equally and ratably secure the Debt or
Indebtedness governed by such Applicable Financing Agreement.
(b) With respect to each right to payment or performance included in the Collateral from time
to time, the Transaction Lien granted therein includes a continuing security interest in (i) any
Supporting Obligation that supports such payment or performance and (ii) any Lien that (x) secures
such right to payment or performance or (y) secures any such Supporting Obligation.
(c) The Transaction Liens are granted as security only and shall not subject the Secured Party
to, or transfer or in any way affect or modify, any obligation or liability of any Pledgor with
respect to any of the Collateral or any transaction in connection therewith.
(d) If the Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over any Regulated Subsidiary determines
that a pledge of the Equity Interests of such Regulated Subsidiary hereunder constitutes or would
constitute the acquisition of or a change of control with respect to such Regulated Subsidiary or
any subsidiary thereof as to which the prior approval of such Governmental Authority was required
and not obtained or waived, then, immediately upon the relevant Pledgor’s receipt of written notice
from such Governmental Authority of such determination and without any action on the part of the
Secured Party or any other Person, such pledge shall be rendered void ab initio and of no effect,
at which time the Pledgor may cause the Regulated Subsidiary to alter its share transfer records to
reflect that the pledge has become void. Upon any such occurrence, (i) the Secured Party shall, at
such Pledgor’s written request and expense, return all certificates representing such Equity
Interest to such Pledgor and execute and deliver such documents as such Pledgor shall reasonably
request to evidence such Pledgor’s retention of all rights in such Equity Interest and (ii) such
Pledgor, if
17
permitted, shall promptly, and the Secured Party, if permitted, may, submit a request to the
relevant Governmental Authority for approval of the pledge of such shares by the Pledgor hereunder,
with which the Pledgor and the relevant Regulated Subsidiary shall fully cooperate, and, upon
receipt of such approval, shall forthwith deliver to the Secured Party certificates representing
all the outstanding Equity Interests in such Regulated Subsidiary (subject to the limitation in
Section 8(l) if such Regulated Subsidiary is a Foreign Subsidiary) to be held as Collateral
hereunder.
Section 4. General Representations and Warranties. Each Original Pledgor represents and
warrants that:
(a) Such Pledgor is (i) duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of the jurisdiction identified as its jurisdiction of organization in Schedule 1, (ii) has all
requisite power and authority to own its property and assets and to carry on its business as now
conducted and as proposed to be conducted, (iii) is qualified to do business in, and is in good
standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required, except where the failure so
to qualify could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and (iv) has
the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and
each other agreement contemplated hereby to which it is or will be a party.
(b) The execution, delivery and performance by each Pledgor of this Agreement and each other
Loan Document executed and delivered by each Pledgor on the Effective Date have been duly
authorized by all requisite corporate and, if required, stockholder action and will not (i) violate
(A) any provision of law, statute, rule or regulation, or of the certificate or articles of
incorporation or other constitutive documents or by-laws of such Pledgor, (B) any order of any
Governmental Authority or (C) any provision of any material indenture, agreement or other
instrument to which such Pledgor is a party or by which any of them or any of their property is or
may be bound, (ii) be in conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (alone or with notice
or lapse of time or both) a default under, or give rise to any right to accelerate or to require
the prepayment, repurchase or redemption of any obligation under any such material indenture,
agreement or other instrument or (iii) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon or
with respect to any property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired by such Pledgor (except a
Transaction Lien).
(c) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Pledgor and constitutes a
legal, valid and binding obligation of such Pledgor enforceable against such Pledgor in accordance
with its terms, except as limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance
or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity.
18
(d) Schedule 2 lists all Equity Interests (excluding Excluded Property) in any Subject Issuer
directly owned by such Pledgor as of the Effective Date. Schedule 3 lists, as of the Effective
Date, (i) all Securities (excluding Excluded Property) issued by any Subject Issuer directly owned
by such Pledgor (and not listed in Schedule 2), (ii) all Instruments (excluding Excluded Property)
directly owned by such Pledgor evidencing indebtedness of any Subject Issuer in a principal amount
of $50,000,000 or more and (iii) all Securities Accounts to which Financial Assets are credited in
respect of which such Pledgor owns Security Entitlements to any of the foregoing investment
property. Such Pledgor holds all such Equity Interests, Securities and Instruments directly (i.e.,
not through a Subsidiary, a Securities Intermediary, Depository Trust Company or any other Person).
(e) All Collateral owned by such Pledgor is owned by it free and clear of any Lien other than
(i) the Transaction Liens and (ii) Permitted Liens. Schedule 5 lists all Permitted Liens (other
than inchoate tax liens and other similar statutory liens) with respect to the Collateral
consisting of Equity Interests and intercompany indebtedness existing on the date hereof. All
shares of capital stock included in its Pledged Equity Interests (including shares of capital stock
in respect of which such Pledgor owns a Security Entitlement) have been duly authorized and validly
issued and are fully paid and non-assessable. None of such Pledged Equity Interests is subject to
any option to purchase or similar right of any Person. Such Pledgor is not and will not become a
party to or otherwise bound by any agreement (except the Loan Documents) which restricts in any
manner the rights of any present or future holder of any Pledged Equity Interest with respect
thereto.
(f) Such Pledgor has not performed any acts that might prevent the Secured Party from
enforcing any of the provisions of the Security Documents or that would limit the Secured Party in
any such enforcement. No financing statement, security agreement, mortgage or similar or
equivalent document or instrument covering all or part of the Collateral owned by such Pledgor is
on file or of record in any jurisdiction in which such filing or recording would be effective to
perfect or record a Lien on such Collateral, except financing statements, mortgages or other
similar or equivalent documents with respect to Permitted Liens. After the Effective Date, all
Collateral consisting of certificated securities or instruments owned by such Pledgor and required
to be delivered to the Secured Party will have been delivered in the Secured Party in accordance
with the delivery instructions provided to the Pledgor by the Secured Party free and clear of the
claims of any other Person or security interest therein, other than the Secured Party or any other
Permitted Lien and no Pledged Investment Property, Pledged Deposit Account or Pledged Electronic
Chattel Paper owned by such Pledgor will be under the Control of any other Person having a claim
thereto or a security interest therein other than a Permitted Lien.
19
(g) The Transaction Liens on all Collateral owned by such Pledgor (i) have been validly
created, (ii) will attach to each item of such Collateral on the Effective Date (or, if such
Pledgor first obtains rights thereto on a later date, on such later date) and (iii) when so
attached, subject to clause (ii) of the proviso to Section 3(a), will secure all the Secured
Obligations or such Pledgor’s Secured Guarantee, as the case may be.
(h) The information set forth in Schedule 1 as to such Pledgor is correct and complete as of
the Effective Date.
(i) When UCC financing statements describing the Collateral as “all personal property” have
been filed in the central UCC filing offices of the jurisdictions specified in Schedule 1, the
Transaction Liens will constitute perfected security interests in the Collateral owned by such
Pledgor to the extent that a security interest therein may be perfected by filing pursuant to the
UCC, prior to all Liens and rights of others therein except Permitted Liens. Except for the filing
of such (i) UCC financing statements, (ii) Intellectual Property Filings and (iii) other filings as
may be necessary to limit or avoid the application of Section 3(d), no registration, recordation
or filing with any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution or delivery
of the Security Documents or is necessary for the validity or enforceability thereof or for the
perfection or due recordation of the Transaction Liens or (except with respect to Equity Interests
in any Regulated Subsidiary) for the enforcement of the Transaction Liens.
Section 5. Further Assurances; General Covenants. Each Pledgor covenants as follows:
(a) Such Pledgor will, from time to time, at the Borrower’s expense, execute, deliver, file
and record any statement, assignment, instrument, document, agreement or other paper and take any
other action (including any Intellectual Property Filing) that from time to time may be necessary
or desirable, or that the Secured Party may request, in order to:
(i) create, preserve, perfect, confirm or validate the Transaction Liens on such
Pledgor’s Collateral;
(ii) in the case of Pledged Deposit Accounts, Pledged Investment Property and Pledged
Electronic Chattel Paper, cause the Secured Party to have Control thereof;
(iii) enable the Secured Party to obtain the full benefits of the Security Documents;
or
20
(iv) enable the Secured Party to exercise and enforce any of its rights, powers and
remedies with respect to any of such Pledgor’s Collateral.
Such Pledgor authorizes the Secured Party to execute and file such financing statements or
continuation statements in such jurisdictions with such descriptions of collateral (including “all
assets” or “all personal property” or other words to that effect) and other information set forth
therein as the Secured Party may deem necessary or desirable for the purposes set forth in the
preceding sentence. Each Pledgor also ratifies its authorization for the Secured Party to file in
any such jurisdiction any initial financing statements or amendments thereto if filed prior to the
date hereof. Each Pledgor further authorizes the Secured Party to file with the United States
Patent and Trademark Office or United States Copyright Office (or any successor office or any
similar office in any other country) such documents as may be necessary or advisable for the
purpose of perfecting, confirming, continuing, enforcing or protecting the security interests
granted by such Pledgor, without the signature of such Pledgor, and naming such Pledgor as debtor
and the Secured Party as secured party. The Borrower will pay the costs of, or incidental to, any
Intellectual Property Filings and any recording or filing of any financing or continuation
statements or other documents recorded or filed pursuant hereto.
(b) Such Pledgor will not (i) change its name or organizational form or structure, (ii) change
its location (determined as provided in UCC Section 9-307) or (iii) become bound, as provided in
UCC Section 9-203(d) or otherwise, by a security agreement entered into by another Person, unless
it shall have given the Secured Party prior notice thereof and delivered an Opinion of Counsel with
respect thereto in accordance with Section 5(e).
(c) Such Pledgor shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep
in full force and effect its legal existence, except as otherwise expressly permitted under Section
6.05 of the Credit Agreement.
(d) Such Pledgor shall pay its indebtedness and other obligations promptly and in accordance
with their terms and pay and discharge promptly when due all taxes, assessments and governmental
charges or levies imposed upon it or upon its income or profits or in respect of its property,
before the same shall become delinquent or in default, as well as all lawful claims for labor,
materials and supplies or otherwise that, if unpaid, might give rise to a Lien upon such properties
or any part thereof; provided that such payment and discharge shall not be required with respect to
any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim so long as the validity or amount thereof shall be
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and the Pledgor shall have set aside on its
books adequate reserves with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP and such contest operates to
suspend collection of the contested obligation, tax, assessment or charge and enforcement of a
Lien.
21
(e) At least 30 days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Secured Party) before it
takes any action contemplated by Section 5(b), such Pledgor will, at the Borrower’s expense, cause
to be delivered to the Secured Party an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to
the Secured Party, to the effect that (i) all financing statements and amendments or supplements
thereto, continuation statements and other documents required to be filed or recorded in order to
perfect and protect the Transaction Liens against all creditors of and purchasers of Pledged
Collateral from such Pledgor after it takes such action (except any continuation statements
specified in such Opinion of Counsel that are to be filed more than six months after the date
thereof) have been filed or recorded in each office necessary for such purpose, (ii) all fees and
taxes, if any, payable by the Pledgor in connection with such filings or recordations have been
paid in full and (iii) except as otherwise agreed by the Secured Party, such action will not
adversely affect the perfection or priority of the Transaction Lien on any Collateral to be owned
by such Pledgor after it takes such action or the accuracy of such Pledgor’s representations and
warranties herein relating to such Collateral.
(f) Such Pledgor may sell, lease, exchange, assign or otherwise dispose of, or grant any
option with respect to, any of its Collateral only to the extent that (i) doing so would not
violate a covenant in the Credit Agreement and (ii) (A) an Event of Default shall not have occurred
and be continuing and (B) (x) the Secured Party shall not have notified such Pledgor that its right
to do so is terminated, suspended or otherwise limited or (y) the maturity of any or all of the
Secured Obligations shall not have been accelerated. Concurrently with any sale, lease or other
disposition (except a sale or disposition to another Pledgor or a lease) permitted by the foregoing
sentence, the Transaction Liens on the assets sold or disposed of (but not in any Proceeds arising
from such sale or disposition) will cease immediately without any action by the Secured Party. The
Secured Party will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the relevant Pledgor such
documents as such Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence the fact that any asset so sold or
disposed of is no longer subject to a Transaction Lien.
(g) Such Pledgor will, promptly upon request, provide to the Secured Party all information and
evidence concerning such Pledgor’s Collateral that the Secured Party may reasonably request from
time to time to enable it to enforce the provisions of the Security Documents.
Section 6. Chattel Paper. Except as to actions to be taken by the Secured Party, each
Pledgor represents, warrants and covenants as follows:
(a) At the request of the Secured Party, such Pledgor will as promptly as practicable
deliver to the Secured Party as Collateral hereunder all Pledged Tangible Chattel Paper then
owned by such Pledgor. Thereafter, whenever such Pledgor acquires any other Pledged Tangible
Chattel Paper,
22
such Pledgor will immediately deliver such Pledged Tangible Chattel Paper or Pledged
Instrument to the Secured Party as Collateral hereunder.
(b) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Secured
Party will, promptly upon request by the relevant Pledgor, make appropriate arrangements for
making any Pledged Tangible Chattel Paper available to it for purposes of presentation,
collection or renewal (any such arrangement to be effected, to the extent deemed appropriate by
the Secured Party, against trust receipt or like document).
(c) All Pledged Tangible Chattel Paper owned by such Pledgor, when delivered to the
Secured Party, will be accompanied by duly executed instruments of assignment, with signatures
appropriately guaranteed, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Secured Party.
(d) Each Pledgor will take (or cause others to take) all actions required under UCC
Section 9-105 to cause the Secured Party to obtain and maintain Control of any and all
Electronic Chattel Paper owned by such Pledgor from time to time.
Section 7. Deposit Accounts. Each Pledgor represents, warrants and covenants as follows:
(a) At the request of the Secured Party, all cash owned by such Pledgor will be deposited,
upon or promptly after the receipt thereof, in one or more Controlled Deposit Accounts.
(b) So long as the Secured Party has Control of a Controlled Deposit Account, the
Transaction Lien on such Controlled Deposit Account will be perfected, subject to no prior
Liens or rights of others (except the Depositary Bank’s right to deduct its normal operating
charges and any uncollected funds previously credited thereto).
Section 8. Delivery, Perfection and Control of Securities and Instruments. Each Pledgor
represents, warrants and covenants as follows:
(a) Certificated Securities. On the Effective Date (in the case of an Original Pledgor) or
the date on which it signs and delivers its first Pledge Agreement Supplement (in the case of any
other Pledgor), such Pledgor will deliver to the Secured Party as Collateral hereunder all
certificates representing Pledged Certificated Securities issued by any Subject Issuer then owned
by such Pledgor. Thereafter, whenever such Pledgor acquires any other certificate representing a
Pledged Certificated Security issued by any Subject Issuer, such Pledgor will immediately deliver
such certificate to the Secured Party as Collateral hereunder. The provisions of this subsection
are subject to the
23
limitation in Section 3(d) in the case of Equity Interests in a Regulated Subsidiary,
Section 8(l) in the case of voting Equity Interests in a Foreign Subsidiary and Section 8(m) in
the case of voting Equity Interests in a Designated Subsidiary.
(b) Uncertificated Securities. On the Effective Date (in the case of an Original Pledgor) or
the date on which it signs and delivers its first Pledge Agreement Supplement (in the case of any
other Pledgor), such Pledgor will enter into (and cause the relevant issuer to enter into) an
Issuer Control Agreement in respect of each Pledged Uncertificated Security issued by any Subject
Issuer then owned by such Pledgor and deliver such Issuer Control Agreement to the Secured Party
(which shall enter into the same). Thereafter, whenever such Pledgor acquires any other Pledged
Uncertificated Security issued by any Subject Issuer, such Pledgor will enter into (and cause the
relevant issuer to enter into) an Issuer Control Agreement in respect of such Pledged
Uncertificated Security and deliver such Issuer Control Agreement to the Secured Party (which shall
enter into the same). The provisions of this subsection are subject to the limitation in Section
3(d) in the case of Equity Interests in a Regulated Subsidiary, Section 8(l) in the case of voting
Equity Interests in a Foreign Subsidiary and Section 8(m) in the case of voting Equity Interests
in a Designated Subsidiary.
(c) Security Entitlements. Upon the request of the Secured Party, such Pledgor will, with
respect to each Security Entitlement then owned by it, as promptly as practicable enter into (and
cause the relevant Securities Intermediary to enter into) a Securities Account Control Agreement in
respect of such Security Entitlement and the Securities Account to which the underlying Financial
Asset is credited and will deliver such Securities Account Control Agreement to the Secured Party
(which shall enter into the same). Thereafter, whenever such Pledgor acquires any other such
Security Entitlement, such Pledgor will immediately cause the underlying Financial Asset to be
credited to a Controlled Securities Account.
(d) Instruments. On the Effective Date (in the case of an Original Pledgor) or the date on
which it signs and delivers its first Pledge Agreement Supplement (in the case of any other
Pledgor), such Pledgor will, with respect to each Pledged Instrument issued by any Subject Issuer
having a principal amount of $50,000,000 or more then owned by it, deliver such Instrument to the
Secured Party as Collateral hereunder. Thereafter, whenever such Pledgor acquires any other such
Instrument, such Pledgor will, as promptly as practicable, deliver such Instrument to the Secured
Party as Collateral hereunder.
(e) Regulated Subsidiaries. If the Collateral includes any Equity Interest in a Regulated
Subsidiary that is not represented by certificates, the relevant Pledgor shall exercise its best
efforts to cause such Equity Interest to be represented by certificates and, promptly upon receipt
thereof, comply with clause
24
(a) of this Section with respect thereto. No Pledgor shall hold any Equity Interest in a
Regulated Subsidiary in a Securities Account.
(f) Perfection as to Certificated Securities. When such Pledgor delivers the certificate
representing any Pledged Certificated Security owned by it to the Secured Party and complies with
Section 8(k) in connection with such delivery, (i) the Transaction Lien on such Pledged
Certificated Security will be perfected, subject to no prior Liens or rights of others except
Permitted Liens, (ii) the Secured Party will have Control of such Pledged Certificated Security and
(iii) the Secured Party will be a protected purchaser (within the meaning of UCC Section 8-303)
thereof.
(g) Perfection as to Uncertificated Securities. When such Pledgor, the Secured Party and the
issuer of any Pledged Uncertificated Security owned by such Pledgor enter into an Issuer Control
Agreement with respect thereto, (i) the Transaction Lien on such Pledged Uncertificated Security
will be perfected, subject to no prior Liens or rights of others except Permitted Liens, (ii) the
Secured Party will have Control of such Pledged Uncertificated Security and (iii) the Secured Party
will be a protected purchaser (within the meaning of UCC Section 8-303) thereof.
(h) Perfection as to Security Entitlements. So long as the Financial Asset underlying any
Security Entitlement owned by such Pledgor is credited to a Controlled Securities Account, (i) the
Transaction Lien on such Security Entitlement will be perfected, subject to no prior Liens or
rights of others (except Liens and rights of the relevant Securities Intermediary that are
Permitted Liens), (ii) the Secured Party will have Control of such Security Entitlement and (iii)
no action based on an adverse claim to such Security Entitlement or such Financial Asset, whether
framed in conversion, replevin, constructive trust, equitable lien or other theory, may be asserted
against the Secured Party.
(i) Agreement as to Applicable Jurisdiction. In respect of all Security Entitlements to
Securities or Instruments issued by a Subject Issuer owned by such Pledgor, and all Securities
Accounts to which such related Financial Assets are credited, the Securities Intermediary’s
jurisdiction (determined as provided in UCC Section 8-110(e)) will at all times be located in the
United States.
(j) Perfection as to Instruments. When such Pledgor delivers any Pledged Instrument owned by
it to the Secured Party, the Transaction Lien on such Pledged Instrument will be perfected, subject
to no prior Liens or rights of others except Permitted Liens.
(k) Delivery of Pledged Certificates and Instruments. All Pledged Certificates and Pledged
Instruments, when delivered to the Secured Party, will be in suitable form for transfer by
delivery, or accompanied by duly executed
25
instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, with signatures appropriately guaranteed, all
in form and substance satisfactory to the Secured Party.
(l) Foreign Subsidiaries. A Pledgor will not be obligated to comply with the provisions of
this Section at any time with respect to any voting Equity Interest in a Foreign Subsidiary if and
to the extent (but only to the extent) that such voting Equity Interest is excluded from the
Transaction Liens at such time pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of Excluded Property
and/or the comparable provisions of one or more Pledge Agreement Supplements.
(m) Designated Subsidiaries. A Pledgor will not be obligated to comply with the provisions of
this Section at any time with respect to any voting Equity Interest in a Designated Subsidiary.
(n) Transfer of Record Ownership. At any time when an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, the Secured Party may (and to the extent that action by it is required, the
relevant Pledgor, if directed to do so by the Secured Party, will as promptly as practicable) cause
each of the Pledged Securities (or any portion thereof specified in such direction) to be
transferred of record into the name of the Secured Party or its nominee; provided that no such
action shall be taken with respect to any Equity Interest in any Regulated Subsidiary unless any
and all regulatory approvals required under applicable law shall have been obtained. Each Pledgor
will take any and all actions reasonably requested by the Secured Party to facilitate compliance
with this Section. If the provisions of this Section are implemented, Section 8(b) shall not
thereafter apply to any Pledged Security that is registered in the name of the Secured Party or its
nominee. The Secured Party will promptly give to the relevant Pledgor copies of any notices and
other communications received by the Secured Party with respect to Pledged Securities registered in
the name of the Secured Party or its nominee.
(o) Certification of Limited Liability Company and Partnership Interests. Any limited
liability company and any partnership controlled by any Pledgor shall either (a) not include in its
operative documents any provision that any Equity Interests in such limited liability company or
such partnership be a “security” as defined under Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code, or (b)
certificate any Equity Interests in any such limited liability company or such partnership. To the
extent an interest in any limited liability company or partnership controlled by any Pledgor and
pledged hereunder is certificated or becomes certificated, each such certificate shall be delivered
to the Secured Party as required by Section 8(a) and such Pledgor shall fulfill all other
requirements under Section 8 applicable in respect thereof.
Section 9. Right to Vote Securities. (a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, each Pledgor will have the right, from time to time, to vote and to give consents,
ratifications and waivers with respect to any
26
Pledged Security owned by it and the Financial Asset underlying any Pledged Security
Entitlement owned by it, and the Secured Party will, upon receiving a written request from such
Pledgor, deliver to such Pledgor or as specified in such request such proxies, powers of attorney,
consents, ratifications and waivers in respect of any such Pledged Security that is registered in
the name of the Secured Party or its nominee or any such Pledged Securities Entitlement as to which
the Secured Party or its nominee is the Entitlement Holder, in each case as shall be specified in
such request and be in form and substance satisfactory to the Secured Party. Unless an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Secured Party will have no right to take any
action which the owner of a Pledged Partnership Interest or Pledged LLC Interest is entitled to
take with respect thereto, except the right to receive payments and other distributions to the
extent provided herein.
(b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Secured Party will have
the exclusive right to the extent permitted by law (and, in the case of a Pledged Partnership
Interest or Pledged LLC Interest, by the relevant partnership agreement, limited liability company
agreement, operating agreement or other governing document) to vote, to give consents,
ratifications and waivers and to take any other action with respect to the Collateral, with the
same force and effect as if the Secured Party were the absolute and sole owner thereof, and each
Pledgor will take all such action as the Secured Party may reasonably request from time to time to
give effect to such right; provided that the Secured Party will not have the right to vote, to give
consents, ratifications or waivers or to take any other action with respect to the Equity Interest
in any Regulated Subsidiary, in each case to the extent that such action would require any notice
to, filing with or the taking of any other action by a Governmental Authority, unless such notice,
filing or action shall have been made, granted or approved.
Section 10. Rights to Distributions. (a) Any and all dividends, interest, and other cash and
non-cash distributions at any time received or held by any Pledgor shall be so received or held in
trust for the Secured Party, shall be segregated from other funds and property of such Pledgor and
shall be forthwith delivered to the Secured Party in the same form as so received or held, with any
necessary indorsements; provided that cash dividends, interest or distributions received by any
Pledgor may be retained by such Pledgor in accordance with this Section.
(b) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Pledgor shall
be entitled to receive and retain and not segregate or hold in trust for the Secured Party cash
dividends, interest or distributions paid or distributed in respect of the Collateral.
(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all rights of the
Pledgors to receive and retain cash dividends, interest or
27
distributions shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Secured
Party, which shall thereupon have the sole right to receive and retain such cash dividends,
interest and distributions. The Pledgors shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and
delivered) to the Secured Party all such instructions and other instruments as the Secured Party
may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling the Secured Party to receive the dividends,
interest and distributions that it is entitled to receive and retain pursuant to the preceding
sentence.
Section 11. Remedies upon Event of Default. (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, the Secured Party may exercise (or cause its agents to exercise) any or all of
the remedies available to it (or to such agents) under the Security Documents.
(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Secured Party may exercise
(i) all the rights of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not in effect in the
jurisdiction where such rights are exercised) and (ii) all the powers given by section 30 of the
Conveyancing ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ of Bermuda (the “Conveyancing Act”) with respect to any Collateral and, in
addition, the Secured Party may, without being required to give any notice, except as herein
provided or as may be required by mandatory provisions of law, sell, or otherwise dispose of the
Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange,
broker’s board or at any of the Secured Party’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for
future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the
Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable, irrespective of the impact of any such sales on the
market price of the Collateral; provided that the right of the Secured Party to sell or otherwise
dispose of an Equity Interest in any Regulated Subsidiary shall be subject to the Secured Party’s
or the relevant Pledgor’s obtaining, to the extent necessary under applicable law, the prior
approval of such sale or other disposition by the Governmental Authority having jurisdiction with
respect to such Regulated Subsidiary; and provided, further, that the Pledgor waives its rights
under section 29 of the Conveyancing Act of Bermuda and agrees that section 31 of such Conveyancing
Act shall not apply). To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Secured Party may be
the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any such sale and shall be entitled, for the
purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of
the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply all of any part of the Secured
Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price of any Collateral payable at such sale.
Upon any sale of Collateral by the Secured Party (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by
statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Secured Party or of the officer making
the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold
and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be
28
obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid to the Secured
Party or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof. Each purchaser
at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part
of any Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of
redemption, stay or appraisal that it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule
of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. The Secured Party shall not be obliged to
make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Secured Party may
adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed
therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was
so adjourned. To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Pledgor hereby waives any claim against
the Secured Party arising because the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a
private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the
Secured Party accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one
offeree. The Secured Party may disclaim any warranty, as to title or as to any other matter, in
connection with such sale or other disposition, and its doing so shall not be considered adversely
to affect the commercial reasonableness of such sale or other disposition.
(c) If the Secured Party sells any of the Collateral upon credit, the Pledgors will be
credited only with payment actually made by the purchaser, received by the Secured Party and
applied in accordance with Section 12 hereof. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the
Collateral, the Secured Party may resell the same, subject to the same rights and duties set forth
herein.
(d) Notice of any such sale or other disposition shall be given to the relevant Pledgor(s) as
(and if) required by Section 14.
(e) For the purpose of enabling the Secured Party to exercise rights and remedies under this
Agreement at such time as the Secured Party shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and
remedies, each Pledgor hereby grants to the Secured Party an irrevocable license (exercisable
without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Pledgor), to use, license or sublicense
any of the Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such
Pledgor, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may
be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or
printout thereof. The use of such license by the Secured Party may be exercised only upon the
occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default; provided that any license,
sublicense or other transaction entered into by the Secured Party in accordance herewith shall be
binding upon such Pledgor notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default.
29
(f) Each Pledgor hereby acknowledges that the sale by the Secured Party of any Collateral
pursuant to the terms hereof in compliance with the Securities Act as well as applicable “Blue Sky”
or other state securities laws may require strict limitations as to the manner in which the Secured
Party or any subsequent transferee of the Collateral may dispose thereof. Each Pledgor
acknowledges and agrees that in order to protect the Secured Party’s interests it may be necessary
to sell the Collateral at a price less than the maximum price attainable if the sale were delayed
or were made in another manner, such as a public offering under the Securities Act. Each Pledgor
agrees that the Secured Party shall have no obligation to delay the sale or to register under the
Securities Act in order to obtain the maximum possible price for the Collateral. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, each Pledgor agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default, the Secured Party may, subject to applicable law, from time to
time attempt to sell all or any part of the Collateral by a private placement, restricting the
bidders and prospective purchasers to those who will represent and agree that they are purchasing
for investment only and not for distribution. In doing so, the Secured Party may solicit offers to
buy the Collateral or any part thereof for cash, from a limited number of investors reasonably
believed by the Secured Party to be institutional investors or other accredited investors who might
be interested in purchasing the Collateral. If the Secured Party shall solicit such offers, then
the acceptance by the Secured Party of one of the offers shall be deemed to be a commercially
reasonable method of disposing of the Collateral.
(g) If the Secured Party shall determine to exercise its right to sell all or any portion of
the Collateral pursuant to this Section, each Pledgor agrees that, upon request of the Secured
Party, such Pledgor will, at its own expense:
(i) use its best efforts to execute and deliver, and cause the Subject Issuers and
the directors and officers thereof to execute and deliver, all such instruments and
documents, and to do so or cause to be done all such other acts and things, as may be
necessary or, in the opinion of the Secured Party, desirable to register such Collateral
under the provisions of the Securities Act, and to cause the registration statement
relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for such period as
prospectuses are required by law to be furnished, and to make all amendments and
supplements thereto and to the related prospectuses which, in the opinion of the Secured
Party, are necessary or desirable, all in conformity with the requirements of the
Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
applicable thereto;
(ii) use its best efforts to execute and deliver, and cause the Subject Issuers and
the directors and officers thereof to execute and
30
deliver, all such instruments and documents, and to do so or cause to be done all
such other acts and things, as may be necessary or, in the opinion of the Secured Party,
desirable to qualify the Collateral under state securities laws or “Blue Sky” laws and to
obtain all necessary approvals from relevant Governmental Authorities for the sale of the
Collateral, as requested by the Secured Party;
(iii) cause the Subject Issuers to make available to their respective security
holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement which will satisfy the provisions
of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act; and
(iv) do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary or, in
the Secured Party’s opinion, desirable to facilitate such sale of the Collateral or any
part thereof in compliance with applicable law.
Each Pledgor acknowledges that there is no adequate remedy at law for failure by it to comply
with the provisions of this Section and that such failure would not be adequately compensable in
damages, and therefore agrees that its agreements contained in this Section may be specifically
enforced.
Each of the Pledgors acknowledges and agrees that in exercising any rights under or with
respect to the Collateral, the Secured Party is under no obligation to marshal any Collateral and
may in its absolute discretion realize upon the Collateral in any order to any extent it so elects,
and each Pledgor waives any right to require the marshaling of any of the Collateral.
Section 12. Application of Proceeds. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Secured Party may apply (a) any cash then held by it as Collateral and (b) the
proceeds of any sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral, in the following
order of priorities:
first, to pay the expenses of such sale or other disposition, including reasonable
compensation to agents of and counsel for the Secured Party, and all expenses, liabilities
and advances incurred or made by the Secured Party in connection with the Security
Documents;
second, to pay interest (including Post-Petition Interest) on and principal of the
Loans in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement, until payment
in full of all such amounts shall have been made;
31
third, to pay all other Secured Obligations ratably, until payment in full of all
such other Secured Obligations shall have been made (or so provided for); and
finally, to pay to the relevant Pledgor, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may
direct, any surplus then remaining from the proceeds of the Collateral owned by it;
provided that Collateral owned by a Guarantor and any proceeds thereof shall be applied pursuant to
the foregoing clauses first, second and third only to the extent permitted by the limitations in
Section 2(i) and proviso (ii) of Section 3(a). The Secured Party may make such distributions
hereunder in cash or in kind or in any combination thereof.
Section 13. Fees and Expenses; Taxes. (a) The Borrower will forthwith upon demand pay to the
Secured Party:
(i) the amount of any taxes that the Secured Party may have been required to pay by
reason of the Transaction Liens or to free any Collateral from any other Lien thereon
other than a Permitted Lien;
(ii) the amount of any and all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including transfer
taxes and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and other experts (including the
allocated fees of in-house counsel), that the Secured Party may incur in connection with
(x) the administration or enforcement of the Security Documents, including such expenses
as are incurred to preserve the value of the Collateral or the validity, perfection, rank
or value of any Transaction Lien, (y) the collection, sale or other disposition of any
Collateral or (z) the exercise by the Secured Party of any of its rights or powers under
the Security Documents;
(iii) the amount of any fees that the Borrower shall have agreed in writing to pay to
the Secured Party and that shall have become due and payable in accordance with such
written agreement; and
(iv) the amount required to indemnify the Secured Party for, or hold it harmless and
defend it against, any loss, liability or expense (including the reasonable fees and
expenses of its counsel and any experts or agents appointed by it hereunder) incurred or
suffered by the Secured Party in connection with the Security Documents, except to the
extent that such loss, liability or expense arises from the Secured Party’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct or a breach of any duty that the Secured Party has under
this Agreement (after giving effect to Sections 15 and 22).
32
Any such amount not paid to the Secured Party on demand will bear interest for each day thereafter
until paid at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the rate applicable to the Loans for
such day.
(b) If any transfer tax, documentary stamp tax or other tax is payable in connection with any
transfer or other transaction provided for in the Security Documents, the Borrower will pay such
tax and provide any required tax stamps to the Secured Party or as otherwise required by law.
(c) The provisions of this Section 13 shall survive repayment of the Secured Obligations.
Section 14. Authority to Administer Collateral. Each Pledgor irrevocably appoints the
Secured Party its true and lawful attorney, with full power of substitution, in the name of such
Pledgor or otherwise, at the Borrower’s expense, to the extent permitted by law to exercise, at any
time and from time to time while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all or
any of the following powers with respect to all or any of such Pledgor’s Collateral:
(a) to demand, ▇▇▇ for, collect, receive and give acquittance for any and all monies
due or to become due upon or by virtue thereof,
(b) to settle, compromise, compound, prosecute or defend any action or proceeding
with respect thereto,
(c) to sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of the same or the proceeds or
avails thereof, as fully and effectually as if the Secured Party were the absolute owner
thereof, and
(d) to extend the time of payment of any or all thereof and to make any allowance or
other adjustment with reference thereto;
provided that, except in the case of Collateral that is perishable or threatens to decline speedily
in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, the Secured Party will give the
relevant Pledgor at least ten days’ prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale
thereof or the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition thereof will be
made. Any such notice shall (i) contain the information specified in UCC Section 9-613, (ii) be
Authenticated and (iii) be sent to the parties required to be notified pursuant to UCC Section
9-611(c); provided that, if the Secured Party fails to comply with this sentence in any respect,
its liability for such failure shall be limited to the liability (if any) imposed on it as a matter
of law under the UCC.
Section 15. Limitation on Duty in Respect of Collateral. Beyond the exercise of reasonable
care in the custody and preservation thereof, the Secured
33
Party will have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession
or control of any agent or bailee or any income therefrom or as to the preservation of rights
against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. The Secured Party will be deemed to
have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession
or control if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords
its own property, and will not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any Collateral,
or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of any act or omission of any agent or bailee
selected by the Secured Party in good faith, except to the extent that such liability arises from
the Secured Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Section 16. Agents and Representatives. The Secured Party may perform any of its duties and
exercise any of its rights and powers through one or more agents appointed by it. The Secured
Party and any such agent may perform any of its duties and exercise any of its rights and powers
through its Representatives. The exculpatory provisions of Section 15 and this Section shall
apply to any such agent and to the Representatives of the Secured Party and any such agent.
Section 17. Termination of Transaction Liens; Release of Collateral.
(a) The Transaction Liens granted by each Guarantor shall terminate when its Secured Guarantee
is released pursuant to Section 2(c).
(b) The Transaction Liens granted by the Borrower shall terminate when all the Release
Conditions are satisfied.
(c) The Transaction Lien granted by the Borrower in 34% of the voting Equity Interest of AIG
Life Holdings (International) LLC shall terminate on September 29, 2008 automatically and without
further action by any party hereto.
(d) At any time before the Transaction Liens granted by the Borrower terminate, the Secured
Party in its discretion may, at the written request of the Borrower, release any Collateral.
(e) Upon any termination of a Transaction Lien or release of Collateral, the Secured Party
will, at the expense of the relevant Pledgor, execute and deliver to such Pledgor such documents as
such Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence the termination of such Transaction Lien or the
release of such Collateral, as the case may be.
Section 18. Additional Guarantors and Pledgors. (a) If, after the Effective Date (i) any
additional Subsidiary is formed or acquired or (ii) any existing Subsidiary ceases to be an
Excluded Subsidiary or a Foreign Subsidiary, the Borrower will, within three Business Days after
such Subsidiary is formed or acquired, notify the Secured Party thereof and, subject to the proviso
to Section
34
3(a) and to Section 3(d), cause any Equity Interest in or indebtedness of such Subsidiary
owned by or on behalf of any Pledgor to be added to the Collateral. If such Subsidiary is or
subsequently becomes a Material Domestic Subsidiary, is not an Excluded Subsidiary and is not
prohibited by applicable law or regulation from, and does not require a filing with, notice to, or
consent of a Governmental Authority prior to, guaranteeing the Secured Obligations, the Borrower
shall promptly cause such Subsidiary to become a “Guarantor” and “Pledgor” pursuant to clause (b)
of this Section 18.
(b) Any Subsidiary may become a party hereto by signing and delivering to the Secured Party a
Pledge Agreement Supplement, whereupon such Subsidiary shall become a “Guarantor” and a “Pledgor”
as defined herein.
Section 19. Notices. (a) Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly
permitted to be given by telephone, all notices and other communications provided for herein shall
be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service for delivery on the next
Business Day or electronic mail, and shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered

other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved
by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or
communications.
(c) Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other
communications hereunder by notice to the Secured Party and the Borrower. All notices and other
communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement will
be deemed to have been given and received on the date of receipt.
Section 20. No Implied Waivers; Remedies Not Exclusive. No failure by the Secured Party to
exercise, and no delay in exercising and no course of dealing with respect to, any right or remedy
under any Security Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial
exercise by the Secured Party of any right or remedy under any Loan Document preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies
specified in the Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other rights or
remedies provided by law.
Section 21. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is for the benefit of the Secured Party.
If all or any part of the Secured Party’s interest in any Secured Obligation is assigned or
otherwise transferred, the transferor’s rights hereunder, to the extent applicable to the
obligation so transferred, shall be automatically transferred with such obligation. This Agreement
shall be binding on each Pledgor and its respective successors and assigns.
Section 22. Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be
waived, amended, modified or terminated except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing
entered into by the Secured Party. No such waiver, amendment or modification shall be binding upon
any Pledgor, except with its written consent.
Section 23. Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed
by the laws of the State of New York, except as otherwise required by mandatory provisions of law
and except to the extent that remedies provided by the laws of any jurisdiction other than the
State of New York are governed by the laws of such jurisdiction.
36
Section 24. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED
BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY SECURITY DOCUMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED
THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES
THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR
OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE
FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO
ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS
SECTION.
Section 25. Severability. If any provision of any Security Document is invalid or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) the other
provisions of the Security Documents shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and
shall be liberally construed in favor of the Secured Party in order to carry out the intentions of
the parties thereto as nearly as may be possible, and (ii) the invalidity or unenforceability of
such provision in such jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability thereof in any
other jurisdiction.
Section 26. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the
entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any other previous
agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents,
express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto and
thereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereunder and, to the extent expressly
contemplated hereby, the Affiliates of the Lender) any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities
under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
Section 27. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different
parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of
which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed signature
page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually
signed counterpart of this Agreement.
Section 28. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are
for convenience of reference only, are not part of this
37
Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in
interpreting, this Agreement.
Section 29. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each of the Pledgors hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction
of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York
City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the
Pledgors hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such
action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted
by law, in such Federal court. Each of the Pledgors agrees that a final judgment in any such
action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the
judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right
that the Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents against any Pledgor or its respective properties in the
courts of any jurisdiction.
(b) Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may
legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of
venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents in any New York State or Federal court. Each Pledgor hereto hereby irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the
maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(c) Each Pledgor irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices
in Section 19. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to
serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
Section 30. Confidentiality. Each Pledgor agrees to keep confidential all non-public
information, including, without limitation, the Loan Documents, in connection with the Loan
Documents and other related documents provided to it by any Person pursuant to or in connection
with the Loan Documents; provided that nothing herein shall prevent any Pledgor from disclosing any
such information (a) to its Representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such
disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed
to keep such information confidential), (b) upon the request or demand of any regulatory authority
or quasi-regulatory authority (such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to
the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process,
(d) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or
any suit, action or proceeding relating to the
38
enforcement of its rights hereunder or thereunder, (e) with the consent of the Secured Party
or (f) to the extent such information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach
of this Section 30; provided that, pursuant to clauses (b), (c) and (d) above, prior to any
disclosure of such information, the Pledgor shall notify the Secured Party, if legally permitted to
do so, of any proposed disclosure as far in advance of such disclosure as practicable and, upon the
Secured Party’s request, take all reasonable actions to ensure that any information disclosed is
accorded confidential treatment, or if such notice to the Secured Party is prohibited by law,
inform the relevant court, regulatory authority or quasi-regulatory authority of the Secured
Party’s interest in the disclosed information and request that such court, regulatory authority or
quasi-regulatory authority inform the Secured Party of the disclosure.
Section 31. Effect of Agreement. This Agreement amends and restates the Demand Note Security
Agreements. The Liens and security interests granted by the Borrower thereunder are and shall
continue to be in full force and effect hereunder without interruption or lapse.
39

PLEDGE AGREEMENT SUPPLEMENT
PLEDGE AGREEMENT SUPPLEMENT dated as of , ___, between [NAME OF PLEDGOR] (the
“Pledgor”) and FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF NEW YORK, as Secured Party.
WHEREAS, American International Group, Inc., the Guarantors party thereto and Federal Reserve
Bank of New York, as Secured Party, are parties to a Guarantee and Pledge Agreement dated as of
September 22, 2008 (as heretofore amended and/or supplemented, the “Pledge Agreement”) under which
American International Group, Inc. secures certain of its obligations (the “Secured Obligations”)
and the Guarantors guarantee the Secured Obligations and secure their respective guarantees
thereof;
WHEREAS, the Pledgor desires to become [is] a party to the Pledge Agreement as a Guarantor and
Pledgor thereunder;1 and
WHEREAS, terms defined in the Pledge Agreement (or whose definitions are incorporated by
reference in Section 1 of the Pledge Agreement) and not otherwise defined herein have, as used
herein, the respective meanings provided for therein;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Secured Guarantee.2 The Pledgor unconditionally guarantees the full and
punctual payment of each Secured Obligation when due (whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration
or otherwise). The Pledgor acknowledges that, by signing this Pledge Agreement Supplement and
delivering it to the Secured Party, the Pledgor becomes a “Guarantor” and “Pledgor” for all
purposes of the Pledge Agreement and that its obligations under the foregoing Secured Guarantee

A-1
are subject to all the provisions of the Pledge Agreement (including those set forth in
Section 2 thereof) applicable to the obligations of a Guarantor thereunder.
2. Grant of Transaction Liens. (a) In order to secure [its Secured Guarantee]3
[the Secured Obligations]4, the Pledgor grants to the Secured Party a continuing
security interest in all the following property of the Pledgor, whether now owned or existing or
hereafter acquired or arising and regardless of where located (the “New Collateral”):
[describe property being added to the Collateral]5
(b) With respect to each right to payment or performance included in the Collateral from time
to time, the Transaction Lien granted therein includes a continuing security interest in (i) any
Supporting Obligation that supports such payment or performance and (ii) any Lien that (x) secures
such right to payment or performance or (y) secures any such Supporting Obligation.
(c) The foregoing Transaction Liens are granted as security only and shall not subject the
Secured Party to, or transfer or in any way affect or modify, any obligation or liability of the
Pledgor with respect to any of the New Collateral or any transaction in connection therewith.
(d) If the Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over any Regulated Subsidiary determines
that a pledge of the Equity Interests of such Regulated Subsidiary hereunder constitutes or would
constitute the acquisition of or a change of control with respect to such Regulated Subsidiary or
any subsidiary thereof as to which the prior approval of such Governmental Authority was required
and not obtained or waived, then, immediately upon the relevant Pledgor’s receipt of written notice
from such Governmental Authority of such determination and without any action on the part of the
Secured Party or any other Person, such pledge shall be rendered void ab initio and of no effect,
at which time the Pledgor may cause the Regulated Subsidiary to alter its share transfer records to
reflect that the pledge has become void. Upon any such occurrence, (i) the Secured Party shall, at
such Pledgor’s written request and expense, return all certificates representing such Equity
Interest to such Pledgor and execute and

A-2
deliver such documents as such Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such Pledgor’s
retention of all rights in such Equity Interest and (ii) such Pledgor, if permitted, shall
promptly, and the Secured Party, if permitted, may, submit a request to the relevant Governmental
Authority for approval of the pledge of such shares by the Pledgor hereunder, with which the
Pledgor and the relevant Regulated Subsidiary shall fully cooperate, and, upon receipt of such
approval, shall forthwith deliver to the Secured Party certificates representing all the
outstanding Equity Interests in such Regulated Subsidiary (subject to the limitation in Section
8(l) of the Pledge Agreement if such Regulated Subsidiary is a Foreign Subsidiary) to be held as
Collateral hereunder.
3. Delivery of Collateral. Concurrently with delivering this Pledge Agreement Supplement to
the Secured Party, the Pledgor is complying with the provisions of Section 8 of the Pledge
Agreement with respect to Investment Property and Instruments, in each case if and to the extent
included in the New Collateral at such time.
4. Party to Pledge Agreement. Upon delivering this Pledge Agreement Supplement to the Secured
Party, the Pledgor will become a party to the Pledge Agreement and will thereafter have all the
rights and obligations of a Guarantor and a Pledgor thereunder and be bound by all the provisions
thereof as fully as if the Pledgor were one of the original parties thereto.6

(c) The execution, delivery and performance of this Pledge Agreement Supplement and each other
agreement contemplated hereby (i) have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate or other
organizational action and, if required, stockholder or member action and (ii) will not (iii)
violate (A) any provision of law, statute, rule or regulation, or of the certificate or articles of
incorporation or other constitutive documents or by-laws of such Pledgor, (B) any order of any
Governmental Authority or (C) any provision of any material indenture, agreement or other
instrument to which such Pledgor is a party or by which any of them or any of their property is or
may be bound, (iv) be in conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (alone or with notice
or lapse of time or both) a default under, or give rise to any right to accelerate or to require

issued by the Issuer] issued by the Issuer (the “Securities”);
WHEREAS, pursuant to a Guarantee and Pledge Agreement dated as of September 22, 2008 (as such
agreement may be amended and/or supplemented from time to time, the “Pledge Agreement”), the
Pledgor has granted to the Secured Party a continuing security interest (the “Transaction Lien”) in
all right, title and interest of the Pledgor in, to and under the Securities, whether now existing
or hereafter arising; and
WHEREAS, the parties hereto are entering into this Agreement in order to perfect the
Transaction Lien on the Securities;
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:
Section 1. Nature of Securities. The Issuer confirms that (i) the Securities are
“uncertificated securities” (as defined in Section 8-102 of the UCC) and (ii) the Pledgor is
registered on the books of the Issuer as the registered holder of the Securities.
Section 2. Instructions. The Issuer agrees to comply with any “instruction” (as defined in
Section 8-102 of the UCC) originated by the Secured Party and relating to the Securities without
further consent by the Pledgor or any other person. The Pledgor consents to the foregoing
agreement by the Issuer.
Section 3. Waiver of Lien; Waiver of Set-off. The Issuer waives any security interest, lien
or right of set-off that it may now have or hereafter acquire in or with respect to the Securities.
The Issuer’s obligations in respect of the Securities will not be subject to deduction, set-off or
any other right in favor of any person other than the Secured Party.
B-1
Section 4. Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of [Issuer’s
jurisdiction of incorporation].1
Section 5. Conflict with Other Agreements. There is no agreement (except this Agreement)
between the Issuer and the Pledgor with respect to the Securities [except for [identify any
existing other agreements] (the “Existing Other Agreements”)]. In the event of any conflict
between this Agreement (or any portion hereof) and any other agreement [(including any Existing
Other Agreement)] between the Issuer and the Pledgor with respect to the Securities, whether now
existing or hereafter entered into, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.
Section 6. Amendments. No amendment or modification of this Agreement or waiver of any
right hereunder shall be binding on any party hereto unless it is in writing and is signed by all
the parties hereto.
Section 7. Notice of Adverse Claims. Except for the claims and interests of the Secured

received a Notice of Exclusive Control (as defined below), the Issuer may comply with
instructions of the Pledgor or any duly authorized agent of the Pledgor in respect of the
Securities. After the Issuer receives a written notice from the Secured Party that it is
exercising exclusive control over the Securities (a “Notice of Exclusive Control”), the
Issuer will cease complying with instructions of the Pledgor or any of its agents.
| 1 | If the Issuer’s jurisdiction of incorporation is not a State in the United States that has adopted the revisions to Articles 8 and 9 of the UCC promulgated in 1994, this form of Issuer Control Agreement may not be appropriate. It may be necessary to transfer the relevant securities into the Secured Party’s name to obtain comparable results under the laws of such jurisdiction. |

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

statements and other correspondence concerning the Securities simultaneously to each of
the Pledgor and the Secured Party at their respective addresses specified in Section 11
hereof.
(v) Tax Reporting. All items of income, gain, expense and loss recognized in respect
of the Securities shall be reported to the Internal Revenue Service and all state and
local taxing authorities under the name and taxpayer identification number of the Pledgor.

following representations, warranties and covenants:
(i) This Agreement is a valid and binding agreement of the Issuer enforceable in
accordance with its terms.

Section 10. Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the
benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
