the Annexes hereto and as the same may be amended from time to time
in accordance with its terms, this “ Agreement
”) among American International Group, Inc. (“
Parent ”), American International Reinsurance Company,
Limited (“ Seller ”) and the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York (“ Buyer ”).
WHEREAS,
Seller wishes, and Parent wishes to cause Seller, to sell to Buyer
preferred membership interests in a Delaware limited liability
company to be formed after the date hereof (the “
Company ”); and
WHEREAS,
in connection therewith, Parent shall complete the restructuring
steps set forth in Annex A (the “ Restructuring
”) pursuant to which, among other things, Parent will
transfer or cause to be transferred (i) to HK Co all of the
equity of American International Assurance Company, Limited
(“ AIA ”) that it directly or indirectly owns
which constitutes 100% of AIA’s total share capital and
(ii) to AIA all of the equity of The Philippine American Life
and General Insurance Company (“ PhilAm ”) that
it directly or indirectly owns, which constitutes 99.78% of
PhilAm’s total share capital; and
WHEREAS,
as a result of the Restructuring and as more fully described in
Annex A , Seller will hold common membership units of the
Company (the “ Common Units ”) and all of the
preferred membership units (the “ Preferred Units
” and together with the Common Units, the “
Units ”) of the Company; and
WHEREAS,
pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, Seller
intends to sell to Buyer all of the Preferred Units (the “
Purchased Securities ”) in consideration for
Buyer’s agreement to assign to Seller $16 billion of the
outstanding principal indebtedness owed by Parent to Buyer (such
face amount for all purposes under this Agreement, the “
Consideration ”) under the Credit Agreement dated as
of September 22, 2008 between Parent and Buyer, as amended
from time to time (the “ Credit Agreement ”);
and
NOW, THEREFORE , in consideration of the premises, and of
the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth
herein, the parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
Purchase; Closing
1.1
Purchase . On the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in this Agreement, Seller agrees to sell to Buyer, and Buyer
agrees to purchase from Seller, at the Closing (as hereinafter
defined), the Purchased Securities for the
Consideration.
(a) On
the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Agreement, the closing of the sale and purchase of the Purchased
Securities (the “ Closing ”) will take place at
the offices of Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP located at 767 Fifth
Avenue, New York, NY 10153 (or at such other place as the parties
may designate in writing) at 10:00 am, New York City time, on the
fifth business day following the first day that all of the
conditions to Closing as set forth in Sections 1.2(c)
through (e) below are satisfied (other than those that by their
nature are satisfied at the Closing but subject to the satisfaction
or waiver of such conditions at the Closing), or at such other
place, time and date as shall be agreed by Parent, Seller and
Buyer. The time and date on which the Closing occurs is referred to
in this Agreement as the “ Closing Date
”.
(b) Subject
to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the Closing as
set forth in Sections 1.2(c) through (e) below, at the
Closing, (i) Seller will deliver the Purchased Securities, as
evidenced by one or more certificates dated as of the Closing Date
and bearing appropriate legends as hereinafter provided for and
(ii) Buyer shall assign to Seller a portion of the outstanding
indebtedness owed by Parent to Buyer under the Credit Agreement in

(c) The
respective obligations of each of Buyer, Parent and Seller to
consummate the Closing are subject to the satisfaction (or waiver
by Buyer, Parent and Seller, as applicable) prior to the Closing of
each of the following conditions:

consents, approvals, orders, registrations, authorizations,
waivers, variances or clearances from, or declarations, filings or
registrations with, or notices to, or disclosure to or mandated by,
any national, regional, local or foreign governmental, legislative,
judicial, administrative or regulatory authority, agency,
commission, body, court or entity (“ Governmental
Entity ”), and the expiration of any and all waiting
periods imposed by applicable Law (and, for the avoidance of doubt,
where an approval, consent or other clearance arises through the
expiration of a prescribed period where there has not been any
objection from an applicable Governmental Entity, such approval,
consent or other clearance shall, if not expressly given by such
time, be deemed given on expiry of such prescribed period where
there has not been any objection made by the applicable
Governmental Entity) required to be made or obtained on or prior to
the Closing Date by Buyer, Parent, Seller, the Company, AIA,
PhilAm, AIGGIC or any of their respective subsidiaries in
connection with the consummation of the Restructuring (described in

(including, without limitation, those set forth on
Section 1.2(c)(i) of the Disclosure Letter)
(collectively, the
2
“

Documents;
(iv) the
respective conditions of each of Buyer and Parent pursuant to that
certain Purchase Agreement dated as of the date hereof between

the satisfaction (or waiver by Buyer) at or prior to the Closing of
each of the following conditions:
(i) each
of the representations and warranties of Parent set forth in (x)
Sections 2.2(a) through 2.2(e) shall be true and
correct as though made on and as of the Closing Date (other than
representations and warranties that by their terms speak as of
another date, which representations and warranties shall be true
and correct as of such other date) and (y) Sections 2.2(f)
through 2.2(z) (which shall each be read, for purposes of this
Section 1.2(d)(i)(y) , without any qualifications or

hereinafter defined) and words of similar import) shall be true and
correct as though made on and as of the Closing Date (other than
representations and warranties that by their terms speak as of
another date, which representations and warranties shall be true
and correct as of such other date), except to the extent that the
failure of such representations and warranties referred to in this
Section 1.2(d)(i)(y) to be so true and correct,
individually or in the aggregate, does not have and would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect;
(ii) Parent
and Seller shall have performed in all material respects all
obligations and covenants required to be performed by each of them
under this Agreement at or prior to the Closing;
3
(iii) there
shall not have occurred any event, occurrence, revelation or
development of a state of circumstances or facts which,
individually or in the aggregate, has had or would reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;
(iv) Buyer
shall have received a certificate signed on behalf of Parent by a
senior executive officer certifying to the effect that the
conditions set forth in Sections 1.2(d)(i) through
(iii) have been satisfied;
(v) each
of the Transaction Documents shall have been duly executed and
delivered by each of the parties thereto (other than Buyer) and
shall be in full force and effect;
(vi) the
Quarter-End Stockholders’ Equity as set forth on the
Quarter-End Certificate shall be at least an amount equal to 90% of
the aggregate pro forma stockholders’ equity (including
non-controlling equity interests) of AIA and its subsidiaries and
PhilAm and its subsidiaries as shown in the AIA 2009 Accounts and
the PhilAm 2009 Accounts, respectively, or, in the event the
Quarter-End Stockholders’ Equity is less than such amount,
Parent or Seller shall have contributed to the Company an amount in
cash equal to such shortfall;
(vii) Buyer

(B) evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that all of the

AIA Entities in accordance with Section 4.5 ;
and
(viii) Buyer
shall have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that all
of the actions required by Section 1.2(f) shall be
consummated immediately after the Closing.
(e) The
obligation of Parent and Seller to consummate the Closing is also
subject to the satisfaction (or waiver by Parent and Seller) at or
prior to the Closing of each of the following
conditions:
(i) Seller
shall have received from Buyer an assignment agreement with respect
to the Consideration, effective as of the Closing; and
(ii) each
of the Transaction Documents shall have been duly executed and
delivered by each of the parties thereto other than Parent and its
subsidiaries (including Seller and the Company) and shall be in
full force and effect.
(f) Immediately
after the Closing, Seller shall transfer, via dividend, the
Consideration to AIG Life Holdings (International) LLC (“
AIGLH ”). Immediately after the completion of
transaction described in the foregoing sentence, Parent will cause
AIGLH to transfer, via dividend, the Consideration to Parent
whereupon the $16 billion portion of the outstanding
indebtedness owed by Parent to Buyer under the Credit Agreement
represented by the Consideration shall be immediately
cancelled.

1.3
Interpretation . When a reference is made in this Agreement
to “Recitals,” “Articles,”
“Sections,” or “Annexes” such reference
shall be to a Recital, Article or Section of, or Annex to, this
Agreement, including any Section of the Disclosure Letter. The
terms defined in the singular have a comparable meaning when used
in the plural, and vice versa. References to “herein”,
“hereof”, “hereunder” and the like refer to
this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section or
provision, unless expressly stated otherwise herein. The table of
contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference
purposes only and are not part of this Agreement. Whenever the
words “include,” “includes” or
“including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be
deemed followed by the words “without limitation.” No
rule of construction against the draftsperson shall be applied in
connection with the interpretation or enforcement of this
Agreement, as this Agreement is the product of negotiation between
sophisticated parties advised by counsel. All references to
“$” or “dollars” mean the lawful currency

or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.1(b) above; provided that Buyer
surrenders to the Company the previously issued certificates or

Treatment of the Transactions. It is the intention of the
parties that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (a) on the
transfer by Parent of beneficial ownership of the PhilAm shares to

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

from Seller: (1) the transfer by Seller of the AIA equity
interests to the Company in return for the HK Note A (as defined in
Annex A); (2) the issuance of the Preferred Units to Seller in
return for the HK Note A; and (3) the issuance by HK Co to the

corporation shall be treated as the transfer by Seller of the AIA
equity interests to HK Co in return for all the HK Co. stock and

in clause (d) hereof, this Agreement shall constitute a
binding contract pursuant to which the sale described in clause

Units to Buyer in return for the Consideration shall be treated as
(1) the transfer by Seller to Buyer 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 Buyer and
Seller 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 Parent under Treasury
Regulation 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 Parent in
return for such PhilAm equity interests, and (2) except to the
foregoing extent, a distribution described in Code Section 301
to Parent. The terms of this Agreement and the LLC Agreement shall

purposes (in a filing or otherwise) contrary to this
intention.

Act ”) or any other compliance by the Company or any of

governing any such public offering and any applicable listing
standards of any stock exchange or quotation system upon which such
securities are to be listed or quoted.
4.4 Completion
of the Restructuring. As soon as practicable, but in any event
no later than 60 days after all of the required approvals,
consents, exemptions or authorization of any Governmental Entity
for such transactions (including any applicable Tax treaty relief
rulings) are obtained by Buyer, Parent, Seller or any AIA Entity,
Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, complete, in each
case, on terms acceptable to Buyer in all respects, all of the
transactions contemplated by the Restructuring that have not been
completed at or prior to the Closing.
4.5 Separation
Plan; Contribution of IP . As soon as practicable, but in any
event no later than 20 business days prior to the Closing, Parent

substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent and Buyer (the “
Separation Plan ”), (i) identifying all material
assets, properties or Proprietary Rights used or held for use
primarily in the business or operations of any of the AIA Entities
and not owned by one or more of the AIA Entities,
(ii) providing for the contribution or, to the extent
reasonably acceptable to Parent and Buyer, the license of such
assets and properties to (A) one or more of the AIA Entities
prior to the Closing Date, or (B) the Company (and not any
other AIA Entity) by such other date as may be agreed between
Parent and Buyer; provided, that the Company shall have no plan to,
and until after two years following the receipt of any such asset
or property shall not, contribute such asset or property to any
other AIA Entity except for a transfer in exchange for
consideration (other than any equity interest) equal to the fair
market value of such asset or property so transferred,
(iii) identifying all material contracts, agreements and other
arrangements between any AIA Entity, on the one hand, and Parent or
any of its Affiliates (the “Affiliates” of Parent

Entities to, use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with
the Separation Plan. To the extent any aspect of the Separation
Plan cannot be enacted despite the commercially reasonably efforts
of Parent, its Affiliates and the AIA Entities, Parent, Buyer and
the AIA Entities shall negotiate mutually acceptable revisions to
the Separation Plan, with the intention that such revisions shall
provide the parties with such rights, assets and properties that
approximate that of the Separation Plan to the maximum extent
possible. Without limitation of the foregoing, prior to the
Closing, Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, assign,
transfer, convey and deliver to one or more AIA Entity all of the
trademarks and domain names used or held for use primarily in the
business or operations of any of the AIA Entities and not owned by
one or more of the AIA Entities (the “ Contributed IP

reasonably satisfactory to Buyer. For purposes of this section,

shall promptly notify Parent in writing of any claim in respect of
which indemnity may be sought under this Article 5 ,
including any pending or threatened claim or demand by a third
party that Buyer has determined has given or could reasonably give
rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement (including
a pending or threatened claim or demand asserted by a third party
against Buyer) (each, a “ Third Party Claim ”),
describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with
respect to the subject matter of such claim or demand; provided,
however , that (x) the failure to provide such notice
shall not release Parent from any of its obligations under this
Article 5 , except to the extent that Parent is
materially prejudiced by such failure and (y) in the case of
any claim for indemnification under Section 5.2(a)(vii) ,
such notice may be delivered only on or after the earlier to occur
of a Drag-Along Sale or Sale of the Company (each as defined in the
LLC Agreement) and the second anniversary of an
31
Initial Public
Offering (as defined in the LLC Agreement). The parties agree that
(i) notices for claims in respect of a breach of a
representation, warranty, covenant or agreement must be delivered
prior to the expiration of any applicable survival period specified
in Section 5.1 for such representation, warranty, covenant
or agreement and (ii) any claims for indemnification for which
notice is not timely delivered in accordance with this Section
5.3(a) shall be expressly barred and are hereby waived;
provided, further , that if, prior to such applicable date,
Buyer shall have notified Parent in accordance with the
requirements of this Section 5.3(a) of a claim for
indemnification under this Article 5 (whether or not
formal legal action shall have been commenced based upon such
claim), such claim shall continue to be subject to indemnification
in accordance with this Article 5 notwithstanding the
passing of such applicable date.
(b) Upon
receipt of a notice of a claim for indemnity from Buyer pursuant to
Section 5.3(a) in respect of a Third Party Claim, Parent
may, by notice to Buyer delivered within twenty (20) business
days of the receipt of notice of such Third Party Claim, assume the
defense and control of any Third Party Claim, with its own counsel
and at its own expense; provided that, prior to assuming
control of such defense, Parent must acknowledge that it would have
an indemnity obligation for the Losses resulting from such Third
Party Claim under this Article 5 . Buyer may take any
actions reasonably necessary to defend such Third Party Claim prior
to the time that it receives a notice from Parent as contemplated
by the immediately preceding sentence. Parent shall allow Buyer a
reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of such Third
Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense. Parent
shall not, without the prior written consent of Buyer (which shall
not be unreasonably withheld), consent to a settlement, compromise
or discharge of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any
Third Party Claim, unless such settlement, compromise, discharge or
entry of any judgment does not involve any finding or admission of
any violation of applicable Law or admission of any wrongdoing by
all Indemnified Parties, and Parent shall (i) pay or cause to
be paid all amounts arising out of such settlement or judgment
concurrently with the effectiveness of such settlement or judgment
(unless otherwise provided in such judgment), (ii) obtain, as
a condition of any settlement, compromise, discharge, entry of
judgment (if applicable), or other resolution, a complete and
unconditional release of Buyer from any and all liabilities in
respect of such Third Party Claim. Buyer shall not settle,
compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to
any claim or demand for which it is seeking indemnification from
Parent or admit to any liability with respect to such claim or
demand without the prior written consent of Parent.
(c) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Article 5
(including Section 5.2 ), Parent shall not have any
liability under this Article 5 for any Losses arising
out of or in connection with any Third Party Claim that is settled
or compromised by Buyer without the consent of Parent.
(d) Subject
to Section 5.3(e) through (g) , in the event Parent
receives a notice of a claim for indemnity from Buyer pursuant to
Section 5.3(a) that does not involve a Third Party
Claim, Parent shall notify Buyer within twenty (20) business
days following its receipt of such notice whether Parent disputes
its liability to Buyer under this Article 5 . If Parent
fails to timely notify Buyer, the Losses arising out of such
claim
32
shall be
conclusively deemed to be a liability of Parent and Parent shall
promptly pay to Buyer any and all Losses arising out of such claim.
Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with and assist Parent in
determining the validity of any such claim for indemnity by
Buyer.
(e) In
the event Parent receives a notice of a claim for indemnity under
Section 5.2(a)(vii) from Buyer, Parent shall notify Buyer
within twenty (20) business days following its receipt of such
notice whether Parent disputes its liability to Buyer, or the
amount of any Losses claimed, under Section 5.2(a)(vii)
. Any notice delivered to Buyer pursuant to this
Section 5.3(e) (a “ Notice of Disagreement
”) shall specify in reasonable detail Parent’s basis
for disputing its liability or the amount of indemnifiable Losses
under Section 5.2(a)(vii) . During the twenty
(20) business day period following the delivery of any Notice
of Disagreement, Buyer and Parent shall negotiate in good faith to
reach agreement with respect to the disputed liability or amount.
If Buyer and Parent are unable to reach such agreement during such
period, within five (5) business days following the end of
such period, each of Buyer and Parent shall deliver to the other
party a written notice setting forth its good faith calculation of
the amount of indemnifiable Losses under
Section 5.2(a)(vii) (with respect to each such party,
such party’s “ Estimate of Losses
”).
(f) If
the difference on a percentage basis between the amount of
Parent’s Estimate of Losses and the amount of Buyer’s
Estimate of Losses is equal to or less than 10%, then each of
Parent and Buyer agrees, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates,
that the amount of indemnifiable Losses under
Section 5.2(a)(vii) shall be equal to the average of
Buyer’s Estimate of Losses and Parent’s Estimate of
Losses.
(g) If
the difference of a percentage basis between the amount of
Parent’s Estimate of Losses and the amount of Buyer’s
Estimate of Losses is greater than 10%, then each of Parent and
Buyer shall promptly, and in any event within (x) ten
(10) business days, select an investment bank of nationally
recognized standing reasonably satisfactory to Parent and Buyer
(which shall not have any material commercial relationship with
Parent or Buyer) (the “ Independent Expert ”)
and (y) forty (40) business days cause the Independent
Expert to determine which of Parent’s Estimate of Losses or
Buyer’s Estimate of Losses is closer to the amount of Losses
described in Section 5.2(a)(vii) actually suffered or
incurred by Buyer as a result of or in connection with the matters
covered thereby (such closer estimate, the “ Prevailing
Estimate ”). Each of Parent and Buyer agrees, on behalf
of itself and its Affiliates, (x) to cooperate with each
other, their respective advisors and the Independent Expert to
facilitate the review and analysis of the Independent Expert and to
provide it with sufficient information and access to data and
personnel to enable it to make its determination, (y) that the
determination by the Independent Expert as to the Prevailing
Estimate shall be final and binding upon Parent and Buyer and
(z) that the amount of indemnifiable Losses under
Section 5.2(a)(vii) shall be equal to the Prevailing
Estimate. The costs and expenses of the Independent Expert shall be
borne by the party that did not deliver the Prevailing
Estimate.
33
(h) Each
party shall cooperate, and cause their respective Affiliates to
cooperate, in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim
and shall furnish or cause to be furnished such records,
information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery
proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably
requested in connection therewith.
(i) Except
as provided herein, no party shall by virtue of this Agreement have
any rights to defend or participate in the defense of any Third
Party Claims as to which it is not named as a defendant.
(a) In
the event a claim or any Action for indemnification under this
Article 5 by Buyer for a Diminution In AIA Value Loss
has been finally determined (other than a claim under
Section 5.2(a)(vii)):
(i) if
Buyer’s Diminution In AIA Value Loss arose in connection with
indemnification pursuant to Section 5.2(a)(i) (other
than the inaccuracy or breach of the Excluded Representations
except for any such representation or warranty contained in
Section 2.2(o )), promptly after a Liquidation
Shortfall Event shall have occurred, Parent shall pay to Buyer on
demand in immediately available funds the lesser of (x) the
aggregate amount of such final determination (or any relevant
portion thereof) and (y) the positive difference, if any, of
the Liquidation Shortfall minus any amounts previously
received or to be received from Parent in respect of
Sections 5.4(a)(ii) and 5.4(b) ; and
(ii) if
Buyer’s Diminution In AIA Value Loss arose other than as
described in Section 5.4(a)(i) (including, but not limited
to, as a result of the inaccuracy or breach of any of the Excluded
Representations except for any such representation or warranty
contained in Section 2.2(o) ), the amount of such final
determination shall be paid by Parent to Buyer on demand in
immediately available funds; provided that (x) if the
Preferred Payment (as defined in the LLC Agreement) shall have
thereafter occurred, Buyer shall repay to Parent, on demand in
immediately available funds, any amounts previously received from
Parent in respect of this Section 5.4(a)(ii) or (y) if
a Liquidation Shortfall Event shall have thereafter occurred, Buyer
shall repay to Parent, on demand in immediately available funds,
the positive difference, if any, of (A) any amounts previously
received from Parent in respect of this
Section 5.4(a)(ii) minus (B) the Liquidation
Shortfall.
(b) In
the event a claim or any Action for indemnification under
Section 5.2(a)(vii) by Buyer has been finally
determined, promptly after a Liquidation Shortfall Event shall have
occurred, Parent shall pay to Buyer on demand in immediately
available funds the lesser of (x) the aggregate amount of such
final determination (or any relevant portion thereof) and
(y) the positive difference, if any, of the Liquidation
Shortfall minus any amounts previously received or to be
received from Parent in respect of Sections 5.4(a)(i)
and 5.4(a)(ii) .
34
(c) In
the event a claim or any Action for indemnification under this
Article 5 by (x) Buyer (other than for a Diminution In
AIA Value Loss or a claim under Section 5.2(a)(vii) )
or (y) any other Indemnified Party, in either case, has been
finally determined the amount of such final determination shall be
paid by Parent to such Indemnified Party on demand in immediately
available funds.
(d) For
