If any transfer or assignment of any Corebridge Asset (or a portion thereof) or any assumption of any Corebridge Liability (or a portion thereof), including any Corebridge Asset or Corebridge Liability set forth on Schedule 2.5(c), intended to be transferred, assigned or assumed hereunder, as the case may be, is not consummated at or prior to the Separation Time, whether as a result of the provisions of Section 2.5(b) or for any other reason (any such Corebridge Asset (or a portion thereof), a “Delayed Corebridge Asset” and any such Corebridge Liability (or a portion thereof), a “Delayed Corebridge Liability”), then, insofar as reasonably possible and subject to Applicable Law, the member of the AIG Group retaining such Delayed Corebridge Asset or such Delayed Corebridge Liability, as the case may be, shall thereafter hold such Delayed Corebridge Asset or Delayed Corebridge Liability, as the case may be, for the use and benefit (or the performance and obligation, in the case of a Liability) of the member of the Corebridge Group entitled thereto (at the expense of the member of the Corebridge Group entitled thereto). In addition, the member of the AIG Group retaining such Delayed Corebridge Asset or such Delayed Corebridge Liability shall, insofar as reasonably possible and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, treat such Delayed Corebridge Asset or Delayed Corebridge Liability in the ordinary course of business in accordance with past practice and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the member of the Corebridge Group to whom such Delayed Corebridge Asset is to be transferred or assigned, or which will assume such Delayed Corebridge Liability, as the case may be, in order to place such member of the Corebridge Group in a substantially similar position as if such Delayed Corebridge Asset or Delayed Corebridge Liability had been transferred, assigned or assumed as contemplated hereby and so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such Delayed Corebridge Asset or Delayed Corebridge Liability, as the case may be, including use, risk of loss, potential for gain and dominion, control and command over such Delayed Corebridge Asset or Delayed Corebridge Liability, as the case may be, and all costs and expenses related thereto, shall inure from and after the Separation Time to the Corebridge Group.

(d) Transfer of Delayed Corebridge Assets and Delayed Corebridge Liabilities. If and when the Approvals or Notifications, the absence of which caused the deferral of transfer or assignment of any Delayed Corebridge Asset or the deferral of assumption of any Delayed Corebridge Liability pursuant to Section 2.5(b), are obtained or made, and, if and when any other legal impediments for the transfer or assignment of any Delayed Corebridge Asset or the assumption of any Delayed Corebridge Liability have been removed, the transfer or assignment of the applicable Delayed Corebridge Asset or the assumption of the applicable Delayed Corebridge Liability, as the case may be, shall be effected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or the applicable Ancillary Agreement.

(e) Costs for Delayed Corebridge Assets and Delayed Corebridge Liabilities; Payment of the Delayed Corebridge Asset Consideration. Except as otherwise agreed in writing between the Parties, any member of the AIG Group retaining a Delayed Corebridge Asset or Delayed Corebridge Liability due to the deferral of the transfer or assignment of such Delayed Corebridge Asset or the deferral of the assumption of such Delayed Corebridge Liability, as the case may be, shall not be obligated, in connection with the foregoing, to expend any money unless the necessary funds are advanced (or otherwise made available) by Corebridge or the member of the Corebridge Group entitled to the Delayed Corebridge Asset or Delayed Corebridge Liability, other than reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, attorneys’ fees and recording or similar fees, all of which, together with any Tax expense incurred by the AIG Group as a result of the deferral, shall be promptly reimbursed by Corebridge or the member of the Corebridge Group entitled to such Delayed Corebridge Asset or Delayed Corebridge Liability.

(f) Approvals and Notifications for AIG Assets. To the extent that the transfer or assignment of any AIG Asset, the assumption of any AIG Liability, the Separation, the IPO or any other transaction contemplated under this Agreement requires any Approvals or Notifications, the Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain or make such Approvals or Notifications as soon as reasonably practicable; provided, however, that, except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements or as otherwise agreed between AIG and Corebridge, neither AIG nor Corebridge shall be obligated to contribute capital or pay any consideration in any form (including providing any letter of credit, guaranty or other financial accommodation) to any Person in order to obtain or make such Approvals or Notifications.

(g) Delayed AIG Transfers. If and to the extent that the valid, complete and perfected transfer or assignment to the AIG Group of any AIG Asset or assumption by the AIG Group of any AIG Liability in connection with the Separation or the IPO would be a violation of Applicable Law or require any Approvals or Notifications that have not been obtained or made by the Separation Time then, unless the Parties mutually shall otherwise determine, the transfer or assignment to the AIG Group of such AIG Assets or the assumption by the AIG Group of such AIG Liabilities, as the case may be, shall be automatically deemed deferred and any such purported transfer, assignment or assumption shall be null and void until such time as all legal impediments are removed or such Approvals or Notifications have been obtained or made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such AIG Assets or AIG Liabilities shall continue to constitute AIG Assets and AIG Liabilities for all other purposes of this Agreement.

(h) Treatment of Delayed AIG Assets and Delayed AIG Liabilities. If any transfer or assignment of any AIG Asset (or a portion thereof) or any assumption of any AIG Liability (or a portion thereof) intended to be transferred, assigned or assumed hereunder, as the case may be, is not consummated at or prior to the Separation Time whether as a result of the provisions of Section 2.5(g) or for any other reason (any such AIG Asset (or a portion thereof), a “Delayed AIG Asset” and any such AIG Liability (or a portion thereof), a “Delayed AIG Liability”), then, insofar as reasonably possible and subject to Applicable Law, the member of the Corebridge Group retaining such Delayed AIG Asset or such Delayed AIG Liability, as the case may be, shall thereafter hold such Delayed AIG Asset or Delayed AIG Liability, as the case may be, for the use and benefit (or the performance or obligation, in the case of a Liability) of the member of the AIG Group entitled thereto (at the expense of the member of the AIG Group entitled thereto). In addition, the member of the Corebridge Group retaining such Delayed AIG Asset or such Delayed AIG Liability shall, insofar as reasonably possible and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, treat such Delayed AIG Asset or Delayed AIG Liability in the ordinary course of business in accordance with past practice. Such member of the Corebridge Group shall also take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the member of the AIG Group to which such Delayed AIG Asset is to be transferred or assigned, or which will assume such Delayed AIG Liability, as the case may be, in order to place such member of the AIG Group in a substantially similar position as if such Delayed AIG Asset or Delayed AIG Liability had been transferred, assigned or assumed and so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such Delayed AIG Asset or Delayed AIG Liability, as the case may be, including use, risk of loss, potential for gain, and dominion, control and command over such Delayed AIG Asset or Delayed AIG Liability, as the case may be, and all costs and expenses related thereto, shall inure from and after the Separation Time to the AIG Group.

(i) Transfer of Delayed AIG Assets and Delayed AIG Liabilities. If and when the Approvals or Notifications, the absence of which caused the deferral of transfer or assignment of any Delayed AIG Asset or the deferral of assumption of any Delayed AIG Liability pursuant to Section 2.5(g), are obtained or made, and, if and when any other legal impediments for the transfer or assignment of any Delayed AIG Asset or the assumption of any Delayed AIG Liability have been removed, the transfer or assignment of the applicable Delayed AIG Asset or the assumption of the applicable Delayed AIG Liability, as the case may be, shall be effected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or the applicable Ancillary Agreement.

(j) Costs for Delayed AIG Assets and Delayed AIG Liabilities. Except as otherwise agreed in writing between the Parties, any member of the Corebridge Group retaining a Delayed AIG Asset or Delayed AIG Liability due to the deferral of the transfer or assignment of such Delayed AIG Asset or the deferral of the assumption of such Delayed AIG Liability, as the case may be, shall not be obligated, in connection with the foregoing, to expend any money unless the necessary funds are advanced (or otherwise made available) by AIG or the member of the AIG Group entitled to the Delayed AIG Asset or Delayed AIG Liability, other than reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, attorneys’ fees and recording or similar fees, all of which, together with any Tax expense incurred by the Corebridge Group as a result of the deferral, shall be promptly reimbursed by AIG or the member of the AIG Group entitled to such Delayed AIG Asset or Delayed AIG Liability.

Section 2.6 Assignment and Novation of Liabilities.

(a) Assignment and Novation of Corebridge Liabilities.

(i) Prior to the Separation Time, Corebridge, at the request of AIG, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, as soon as reasonably practicable, any consent, substitution, approval or amendment required to novate or assign all Corebridge Liabilities and obtain in writing the unconditional release of each member of the AIG Group that is a party to or otherwise obligated under any such arrangements, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and effective as of the Separation Time, so that, in any such case, the members of the Corebridge Group shall be solely responsible for such Corebridge Liabilities; provided, however, that, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, neither AIG nor Corebridge shall be obligated to contribute any capital or pay any consideration in any form (including providing any letter of credit, guaranty or other financial accommodation) to any third Person from whom any such consent, substitution, approval, amendment or release is requested. To the extent such substitution contemplated by the first sentence of this Section 2.6(a)(i) has been effected, the members of the AIG Group shall, from and after the Separation Time, cease to have any obligation whatsoever arising from or in connection with such Corebridge Liabilities.

(ii) If Corebridge is unable to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any such required consent, substitution, approval, amendment or release, and the applicable member of the AIG Group continues to be bound by such agreement, lease, license or other obligation or Liability (each, an “Unreleased Corebridge Liability”), Corebridge shall, to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law, and subject to the provisions of Schedule 2.6(a)(ii)(A), (A) use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect such consent, substitution, approval, amendment or release as soon as practicable following the Separation Time, but in any event within twelve (12) months thereof, and (B) as indemnitor, guarantor, agent or subcontractor for such member of the AIG Group, as the case may be, (1) pay, perform and discharge fully all the obligations or other Liabilities of such member of the AIG Group that constitute Unreleased Corebridge Liabilities from and after the Separation Time and (2) use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect such payment, performance or discharge prior to any demand for such payment, performance or discharge is permitted to be made by the obligee thereunder on any member of the AIG Group. If and when any such consent, substitution, approval, amendment or release shall be obtained or the Unreleased Corebridge Liabilities shall otherwise become assignable or able to be novated, AIG shall promptly assign, or cause to be assigned, and Corebridge or the applicable member of the Corebridge Group shall assume, such Unreleased Corebridge Liabilities without exchange of further consideration.

(iii) If Corebridge is unable to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any such required consent, substitution, approval, amendment or release as set forth in clause (ii) of this Section 2.6(a), Corebridge and any relevant member of its Group that has assumed the applicable Unreleased Corebridge Liability shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless AIG against or from such Unreleased Corebridge Liability in accordance with the provisions of Article IX and shall, as agent or subcontractor for AIG, pay, perform and discharge fully all the obligations or other Liabilities of AIG thereunder.

(b) Assignment and Novation of AIG Liabilities.

To the extent such substitution contemplated by the first sentence of this Section 2.6(b)(i) has been effected, the members of the Corebridge Group shall, from and after the Separation Time, cease to have any obligation whatsoever arising from or in connection with such AIG Liabilities.

(ii) If AIG is unable to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any such required consent, substitution, approval, amendment or release and the applicable member of the Corebridge Group continues to be bound by such agreement, lease, license or other obligation or Liability (each, an “Unreleased AIG Liability”), AIG shall, to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law, (A) use its commercially reasonable effort to effect such consent, substitution, approval, amendment or release as soon as practicable following the Separation Time, but in any event within twelve (12) months thereof, and (B) as indemnitor, guarantor, agent or subcontractor for such member of the Corebridge Group, as the case may be, (1) pay, perform and discharge fully all the obligations or other Liabilities of such member of the Corebridge Group that constitute Unreleased AIG Liabilities from and after the Separation Time and (2) use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect such payment, performance or discharge prior to any demand for such payment, performance or discharge is permitted to be made by the obligee thereunder on any member of the Corebridge Group. If and when any such consent, substitution, approval, amendment or release shall be obtained or the Unreleased AIG Liabilities shall otherwise become assignable or able to be novated, Corebridge shall promptly assign, or cause to be assigned, and AIG or the applicable member of the AIG Group shall assume, such Unreleased AIG Liabilities without exchange of further consideration.

(iii) If AIG is unable to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any such required consent, substitution, approval, amendment or release as set forth in clause (ii) of this Section 2.6(b), AIG and any relevant member of its Group (except for members of the Corebridge Group) that has assumed the applicable Unreleased AIG Liability shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Corebridge against or from such Unreleased AIG Liability in accordance with the provisions of Article IX and shall, as agent or subcontractor for Corebridge, pay, perform and discharge fully all the obligations or other Liabilities of Corebridge thereunder.

Section 2.7 Release of Guarantees. In furtherance of, and not in limitation of, the obligations set forth in Section 2.6:

(a) At or prior to the Separation Date or as soon as practicable thereafter, each of AIG and Corebridge shall, at the request of the other Party and with the reasonable cooperation of such other Party and the applicable member(s) of such other Party’s Group, use commercially reasonable efforts to (A) have any member(s) of the AIG Group removed as guarantor of or obligor for any Corebridge Liability, other than any Corebridge Liability set forth on Schedule 2.7(a), including the removal of any Security Interest on or in any AIG Asset that may serve as collateral or security for any such Corebridge Liability; and (B) have any member(s) of the Corebridge Group removed as guarantor of or obligor for any AIG Liability, including the removal of any Security Interest on or in any Corebridge Asset that may serve as collateral or security for any such AIG Liability.

(i) any member of the AIG Group, Corebridge shall execute a guarantee agreement in the form of the existing guarantee or such other form as is agreed to by the relevant parties to such guarantee agreement, which agreement shall include the removal of any Security Interest on or in any AIG Asset that may serve as collateral or security for any such Corebridge Liability, except to the extent that such existing guarantee contains representations, covenants or other terms or provisions either (A) with which Corebridge would be reasonably unable to comply or (B) which Corebridge would not reasonably be able to avoid breaching; and

(ii) any member of the Corebridge Group, AIG shall execute a guarantee agreement in the form of the existing guarantee or such other form as is agreed to by the relevant parties to such guarantee agreement, which agreement shall include the removal of any Security Interest on or in any Corebridge Asset that may serve as collateral or security for any such AIG Liability, except to the extent that such existing guarantee contains representations, covenants or other terms or provisions either (i) with which AIG would be reasonably unable to comply or (ii) which AIG would not reasonably be able to avoid breaching.

(c) If AIG or Corebridge is unable to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any such required removal or release, or is expressly not required to do so (including as provided in Schedule 2.7(a)), in each case as set forth in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 2.7, (i) the Party or the relevant member of its Group that is responsible pursuant to this Agreement for the Liability associated with such guarantee shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the guarantor or obligor, as applicable, against or from any Liability arising from or relating thereto in accordance with the provisions of Article IX and shall, as agent or subcontractor for such guarantor or obligor, pay, perform and discharge fully all the obligations or other Liabilities of such guarantor or obligor thereunder; and (ii) each of AIG and Corebridge, on behalf of itself and the other members of their respective Group, agree not to renew or extend the term of, increase any obligations under, or transfer to a third party, any loan, guarantee, lease, contract or other obligation for which the other Party or a member of its Group is or may be liable unless all obligations of such other Party and the members of such other Party’s Group with respect thereto are thereupon terminated by documentation satisfactory in form and substance to such other Party.

Section 2.8 Intercompany Agreements.

(a) In furtherance of the releases and other provisions of Section 9.1, Corebridge and each member of the Corebridge Group, on the one hand, and AIG and each member of the AIG Group, on the other hand, hereby terminate the agreements set forth on Schedule 2.8(a) (the “Terminated Intercompany Agreements”), effective as of the Separation Time. All other agreements, arrangements, commitments or understandings, whether or not in writing, between or among Corebridge and/or any member of the Corebridge Group, on the one hand, and AIG and/or any member of the AIG Group, on the other hand, shall not be affected by the Separation, except as otherwise provided in or expressly contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. No Terminated Intercompany Agreement (including any provision thereof which purports to survive termination) shall be of any further force or effect after the Separation Time. Each Party shall, at the reasonable request of the other Party, take, or cause to be taken, such other actions as may be necessary to effect the foregoing.

(b) Nothing in this Section 2.9 shall require any member of any Group to make any payment (except to the extent advanced, assumed or agreed in advance to be reimbursed by any member of the other Group), incur any obligation or grant any concession for the benefit of any member of any other Group in order to effect any transaction contemplated by this Section 2.9.

(b) It is intended that, following consummation of the actions contemplated by Section 2.10(a), there will be in place a cash management process pursuant to which the Corebridge Accounts will be managed and funds collected will be transferred into one (1) or more accounts maintained by Corebridge or a member of the Corebridge Group.

(c) It is intended that, following consummation of the actions contemplated by Section 2.10(a), there will continue to be in place a cash management process pursuant to which the AIG Accounts will be managed and funds collected will be transferred into one (1) or more accounts maintained by AIG or a member of the AIG Group.

(d) With respect to any outstanding checks issued or payments initiated by AIG, Corebridge, or any of the members of their respective Groups prior to the Separation Time, such outstanding checks and payments shall be honored following the Separation Time by the Person or Group owning the account on which the check is drawn or from which the payment was initiated, respectively.

(e) As between AIG and Corebridge (and the members of their respective Groups), all payments made and reimbursements received after the Separation Time by either Party (or member of its Group) that relate to a business, Asset or Liability of the other Party (or member of its Group), shall be held by such Party in trust for the use and benefit of the Party entitled thereto and, promptly following receipt by such Party of any such payment or reimbursement, such Party shall pay over, or shall cause the applicable member of its Group to pay over to the other Party the amount of such payment or reimbursement without right of set-off.

(i) approving any grants of equity or equity-based compensation awards to an Executive Officer or Director of Corebridge; and

(ii) such other matters as shall be delegated to the subcommittee by the compensation committee or as shall be required by Applicable Law to be approved or determined by Qualified Compensation Directors.

Within 60 days of a decrease in the number of AIG Directors to which AIG is entitled to cause the Corebridge Board to appoint to the nominating and governance committee pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, AIG will cause a sufficient number of AIG directors to resign from the nominating and governance committee.

(b) Until the Majority Holder Date, any such nominating and governance committee shall only act with the consent of a majority of the members of the committee, which majority must include an AIG Director, unless such action is required by Applicable Law to be approved solely by Independent Directors.

(c) Following the Majority Holder Date, the nominating and governance committee shall exercise the responsibilities and authority set forth under Rule 303A.04 of the NYSE Manual.

Section 6.8 Implementation with Respect to Legal Disclosures.

(a) All requests for information or documents relating to legal or regulatory matters under Sections, 6.1, 6.2, 6.7(a)(i), 8.3 or 8.4 shall be made solely to the office of the General Counsel of Corebridge, and all responses thereunder shall be made solely to the office of the General Counsel of AIG. For the avoidance of doubt, such information or documents contained in databases, reports or systems of Corebridge to which AIG has unrestricted access prior to the date hereof may be redacted by Corebridge or its representatives, or access to the relevant databases, reports or systems may be restricted or denied to AIG or its representatives, to the extent necessary so that such information and documents are handled in accordance with this Section 6.8, including Section 6.8(c).

(b) All requests for information or documents under Section 6.7(a)(ii), Section 8.3 or Section 8.4 shall be made solely to the office of the General Counsel of AIG, and all responses thereunder shall be made solely to the office of the General Counsel of Corebridge. For the avoidance of doubt, such information or documents contained in databases, reports or systems of AIG to which Corebridge has unrestricted access prior to the date of this Agreement may be redacted by AIG or its representatives, or access to the relevant databases, reports or systems may be restricted or denied to Corebridge or its representatives, to the extent necessary so that such information and documents are handled in accordance with this Section 6.8, including Section 6.8(c).

(c) Both Parties agree that compliance with Sections ‎6.26.1, 6.2, 6.7, 8.3, ‎8.4 and Article 9 will not prejudice any privilege or protection from disclosure that either Party may have, including the attorney-client privilege and work product protection, which are expressly reserved. If the Party required to deliver the information or documents pursuant to this Section 6.8 (the “Information Party”) believes in good faith, based upon legal advice (from internal or external counsel), that the delivery of any information or documents pursuant to this Agreement would cause the loss of any applicable privilege or protection from disclosure (or create a risk of such loss), then both parties will work in good faith to determine an alternate means of delivering the requested information or documents, or the substance thereof, that does not result in the loss of such privilege or protection from disclosure. If needed to preserve a privilege or protection from disclosure, Corebridge and AIG agree to enter into a common interest agreement, in substantially the form attached hereto as Annex A, (a “Common Interest Agreement”) in advance of, and as a condition to, such delivery. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if no alternate means can be agreed by the parties and external counsel to the Information Party informs the other Party in writing that a common interest cannot be established, or with sufficient confidence be asserted, to preserve the privilege or protection from disclosure with respect to the information or documents in question, even if a Common Interest Agreement were to be entered into, or that for any other reason the information or documents cannot be delivered without loss of the privilege or protection from disclosure (such counsel to explain the reasons for its conclusion briefly but in reasonable detail so that the other Party can review the legal analysis with its own counsel), then the Information Party is excused from providing such information or documents but only to the extent and for the time necessary to preserve the privilege or protection being asserted.

Section 6.9 Expenses. Corebridge shall be responsible for any expenses it incurs in connection with the fulfillment of its obligations under this Article VI, except (i) out-of-pocket expenses incurred with respect to specific requests by AIG for information, documents or access, in excess of amounts historically incurred by Corebridge for the provisions of similar information, documents and access; (ii) to the extent expressly agreed between AIG and Corebridge prior to the incurrence of any specific expenses; and (iii) any incremental out-of-pocket expense incurred in connection with the acquisition of the software and applications referred to in Section 6.3(b) hereof (in excess of expenses that would otherwise be incurred by Corebridge in the absence of such section). AIG shall be responsible for any expenses it incurs in connection with the fulfillment of its obligations under this Article VI, except (i) out-of-pocket expenses incurred with respect to specific requests by Corebridge for information, documents or access, in each case in excess of amounts historically incurred by AIG for the provisions of similar information, documents and access, and (ii) as expressly agreed between Corebridge and AIG prior to the incurrence of any specific expenses.

(a) As soon as practicable after determining to issue any shares of Common Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable for Common Stock (“Purchase Right Shares”), but in any event no fewer than ten Business Days prior to entering into a binding agreement to issue Purchase Right Shares to any person other than AIG or its Subsidiaries (a “Purchase Right Transaction”), Corebridge shall, in writing, offer, subject to consummation of the Purchase Right Transaction, to sell to AIG (which offer may be assigned by AIG to a Subsidiary of AIG) the Purchase Right Share Amount at the Purchase Right Share Price. Corebridge shall describe the proposed Purchase Right Transaction in reasonable detail in such written offer, including the range of prices (which may be expressed in terms of discount and / or premium to the trading price of Common Stock at the time Corebridge enters into a binding agreement to issue Purchase Right shares or consummates the Purchase Right Transaction) within which Corebridge reasonably expects to sell Purchase Right Shares in the Purchase Right Transaction.

(b) For purposes of this Section 7.2, the “Purchase Right Share Price” shall be the lowest purchase price (which need not be determined until the time at which Corebridge enters into definitive documentation with respect to the Purchase Right Transaction), if any, to be paid by the transferee(s) of Purchase Right Shares; and the “Purchase Right Share Amount” shall be that number of the Purchase Right Shares as is equal to the amount obtained by multiplying the total number of Purchase Right Shares by a fraction (the “AIG Share Fraction”), the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by AIG, and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, in each case as of the time that Corebridge makes the offer to AIG pursuant to Section 7.2(a).

(c) If the offer referred to in Section 7.2(a) is irrevocably accepted (subject only to required regulatory approvals, if any) in writing within five Business Days after such offer is delivered to AIG, then, only in the event that the Purchase Right Transaction is consummated and the price per Purchase Right Share falls within the price range set forth in the written offer delivered to AIG in accordance with Section 7.2(a), Corebridge shall sell to AIG (or its Subsidiary, as the case may be), and AIG (or its Subsidiary, as the case may be) shall purchase from Corebridge, that number of Purchase Right Shares as is equal to the Purchase Right Share Amount, at the Purchase Right Share Price. If Corebridge determines in good faith that it must consummate the Purchase Right Transaction prior to any regulatory approvals necessary for the sale of Purchase Right Shares to AIG (or its Subsidiary, as applicable) having been obtained, Corebridge shall notify AIG in writing of such determination and shall then be free to consummate the Purchase Right Transaction prior to consummating the sale of Purchase Right Shares to AIG (or its Subsidiary, as applicable); provided, however, that in such event Corebridge and AIG (or its Subsidiary, as applicable) shall consummate the sale of Purchase Right Shares as promptly as practicable after all required regulatory approvals have been obtained; and provided, further, that the Purchase Right Share Amount shall be increased, as necessary, so that the AIG Share Fraction, if it were to be calculated immediately following such consummation, would be equal to the AIG Share Fraction as calculated at the time of the offer made pursuant to Section 7.2(a). The obligation of Corebridge to sell, and AIG (or its Subsidiary, as applicable) to purchase such Purchase Right Shares shall terminate if all such required regulatory approvals shall not have been obtained by the 120th day following the closing of the Purchase Right Transaction.

(d) If the offer referred to in Section 7.2(a) is not irrevocably accepted (subject only to required regulatory approvals, if any) in writing within five Business Days after such offer is delivered to AIG, Corebridge will be free to consummate the Purchase Right Transaction described in the written offer delivered to AIG in accordance with Section 7.2(a), within the price range described in such written offer, without selling any Purchase Right Shares to AIG or its Subsidiaries. Corebridge shall not consummate any Purchase Right Transaction other than (i) a Purchase Right Transaction described in the previous sentence or (ii) a Purchase Right Transaction described in Section 7.2(c) that is consummated within the price range described in a written offer to AIG in accordance with Section 7.2(a). In addition, without limiting the foregoing, in the event that Corebridge does not enter into a binding agreement to issue Purchase Right Shares on or prior to the ninetieth (90th) day following the delivery of the offer referred to in Section 7.2(a), Corebridge shall be required to again comply with the provisions of this Section 7.2 prior to entering into any Purchase Right Transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 7.2 shall affect the approval rights of AIG contained in Section 5.1.

(e) The purchase and sale of any Purchase Right Shares pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall take place concurrently with the closing of the Purchase Right Transaction, or, if a concurrent closing is not practicable, as promptly as practicable thereafter. At the time of purchase, Corebridge shall deliver to AIG (or its Subsidiary, as the case may be) certificates or other evidence of ownership registered in the name of AIG (or its Subsidiary, as the case may be) representing the Purchase Right Shares purchased, and AIG (or its Subsidiary, as the case may be) shall transfer to Corebridge the purchase price therefor in United States dollars by bank check or wire transfer of immediately available funds, as specified by Corebridge, to an account designated by Corebridge not less than five Business Days prior to the date of purchase.

(f) Corebridge and AIG each agree to use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any regulatory, stock exchange, or other approval required for any purchase of Purchase Right Shares by AIG (or its designated Subsidiary) pursuant to this Section 7.2.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of paragraphs (a) to (f) of this Section 7.2 shall not apply to Purchase Right Shares issued:

(i) as consideration for mergers, acqusitions and exchange offers;

(ii) as Equity Awards; or

(iii) at any time after the Second Threshold Date.

Section 7.3 Lock-Up Provisions.

(a) In connection with any underwritten offering of Common Stock (whether or not pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement), Corebridge shall, and shall cause the Executive Officers and Directors to, and, prior to the Third Threshold Date, AIG shall, agree with the underwriters in any such offering to a lock-up period of up to 90 days (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the managing underwriter(s)), subject to customary carve-outs.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 7.2(a) hereof, AIG shall not be obligated to agree to any lock-up period during which it would be prevented from selling all or any portion of its Common Stock in privately negotiated transactions that are not executed through the facilities of a securities exchange.

The Party requiring the participation of such Representatives shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, charges and expenses arising from such participation (but shall not be responsible to reimburse the other Party for the time spent by its Representatives in such cooperation or the salaries or costs of fringe benefits or similar expenses paid by the Party providing such cooperation to its Representatives while assisting in the defense or prosecution of any such Action or internal investigation). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of the Parties set forth in this Section 8.3(c) are subject to Section 6.8(c), which shall apply to this (c), mutatis mutandis.

(b) Upon reasonable notice and at each Party’s own expense, AIG (and its authorized representatives) and Corebridge (and its authorized representatives) shall be afforded access to such records at reasonable times and during normal business hours and each Party (and its authorized representatives) shall be permitted, at its own expense, to make abstracts from, or copies of, any such records; provided that access to such records may be denied if (i) AIG or Corebridge, as the case may be, cannot demonstrate a legitimate business need for such access to the records; (ii) the information contained in the records is subject to any applicable confidentiality commitment to a third party; (iii) a bona fide competitive reason exists to deny such access; (iv) the records are to be used for the initiation of, or as part of, a suit or claim against the other Party; or (v) such access would unreasonably disrupt the normal operations of AIG or Corebridge, as the case may be.

Such indemnification and advancement shall continue as to any Blackstone Director and AIG Individual (i) who becomes entitled to indemnification or advancement on or prior to such date, notwithstanding any change (except those changes made as required by applicable law) in Corebridge’s indemnification or advancement policies following such date, and (ii) with respect to liabilities existing or arising from events that have occurred on or prior to such date, notwithstanding such Blackstone Director or AIG Individual’s ceasing to be a Director, officer or employee of Corebridge.

Section 8.6 Insurance Matters.

(a) AIG and Corebridge agree to use commercially reasonable efforts and cooperate in good faith to provide for an orderly transition of insurance coverage from the date hereof through the Majority Holder Date as set forth on Schedule 8.6. In no event shall AIG, any other member of the AIG Group or any AIG Indemnitee have Liability or obligation whatsoever to any member of the Corebridge Group in the event that any insurance policy or insurance policy related contract shall be terminated or otherwise cease to be in effect for any reason, shall be unavailable or inadequate to cover any Liability of any member of the Corebridge Group for any reason whatsoever or shall not be renewed or extended beyond the current expiration date.

(b) With respect to each AIG Policy in place as of the date of this Agreement, until the earliest of (x) the date Corebridge has obtained in effect such insurance policies as meet the specifications set forth in Section 8.6(d), (y) the Majority Holder Date or (z) other than with respect to insurance policies providing coverage for director and officer liability (for which this clause (z) shall not apply), April 30, 2023 (or such other date as may be agreed by the Parties after the date hereof) (the “Insurance Termination Time”), AIG shall (i) cause the members of the Corebridge Group and their respective employees, officers and directors to continue to be covered as insured parties under such Policy, in each case to the extent such Person is covered as an insured party thereunder as of the date hereof, and (ii) permit the members of the Corebridge Group and their respective employees, officers and directors to submit claims arising from or relating to facts, circumstances, events or matters that occurred prior to the Insurance Termination Time, to the extent permitted by such Policy; provided, that Corebridge is in compliance with its obligations set forth in Section 8.6(a). Without limiting any of the rights or obligations of the parties pursuant to this Section 8.6, AIG and Corebridge acknowledge that, as of immediately prior to the Insurance Termination Time, AIG intends to take such action as it may deem necessary or desirable to remove the members of the Corebridge Group and their respective employees, officers and directors as insured parties under any policy of insurance issued to any AIG Policy.

(c) From and after the Separation Time, with respect to any losses, damages and Liability incurred by any member of the Corebridge Group in respect of facts, circumstances, events or matters that occurred prior to the Insurance Termination Time, AIG will provide Corebridge with access to, and Corebridge may make claims under, each AIG Policy in place prior to the Insurance Termination Time (and any applicable extended reporting period if such Policy is a claims made policy), but solely to the extent that such Policy provided coverage for members of the Corebridge Group or the Corebridge Business prior to the applicable Insurance Termination Time; provided, that such access to, and the right to make claims under, such Policy shall be subject to the terms, conditions and exclusions of such Policy, including but not limited to any limits on coverage or scope, any deductibles, self-insured retentions, collateral and other fees and expenses, and shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(i) Corebridge shall notify AIG, as promptly as practicable, of any claim made by Corebridge pursuant to this Section 8.6(c) by contacting AIG’s Director of Corporate Insurance in writing in the manner set forth on Schedule 8.6(c)(i), with details as to the nature, facts and circumstances of such claim. Corebridge shall designate a Corebridge employee as the contact for each such claim who will help ensure that Corebridge satisfies it obligations set forth in this Section 8.6;

(ii) Corebridge and the members of the Corebridge Group shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse AIG and the members of the AIG Group for any deductibles, self-insured retention, collateral, fees, indemnity payments, settlements, judgments, legal fees, allocated claims expenses and claim handling fees, and other expenses incurred by AIG or any members of the AIG Group to the extent resulting from any access to, or any claims made by Corebridge or any other members of the Corebridge Group under, any insurance provided pursuant to this Section 8.6(c), whether such claims are made by Corebridge, its employees or third Persons; and

(iii) Corebridge shall exclusively bear (and neither AIG nor any members of the AIG Group shall have any obligation to repay or reimburse Corebridge or any member of the Corebridge Group for) and shall be liable for all excluded, uninsured, uncovered, unavailable or uncollectible amounts of all such claims made by Corebridge or any member of the Corebridge Group under the Policies as provided for in this Section 8.6(c). In the event an insurance policy aggregate is exhausted, or believed likely to be exhausted, due to noticed claims, the Corebridge Group, on the one hand, the AIG Group, on the other hand, shall be responsible for their pro rata portion of the reinstatement premium, if any, based upon the losses of such Group submitted to the applicable insurance carrier(s) (including any submissions prior to the applicable Insurance Termination Time). To the extent that the AIG Group or the Corebridge Group is allocated more than its pro rata portion of such premium due to the timing of losses submitted to AIG’s insurance carrier(s), the other Party shall promptly pay the first Party an amount such that each Group has been properly allocated its pro rata portion of the reinstatement premium. Subject to the following sentence, a Party may elect not to reinstate the policy aggregate. In the event that a Party elects not to reinstate the policy aggregate, it shall provide prompt written notice to the other Party. A Party which elects to reinstate the policy aggregate shall be responsible for all reinstatement premiums and other costs associated with such reinstatement.

In the event that any member of the AIG Group incurs any losses, damages or Liability prior to or in respect of the period prior to the Separation Time for which such member of the AIG Group is entitled to coverage under Corebridge’s third-party Policies, the same process pursuant to this Section 8.6(c) shall apply, substituting “AIG” for “Corebridge” and “Corebridge” for “AIG,” including for purposes of the first sentence of Section 8.6(f).

(d) Except as provided in Section 8.6(c), from and after the applicable Insurance Termination Time, neither Corebridge nor any member of the Corebridge Group shall have any rights to or under any Policy of AIG or any other member of the AIG Group. At the applicable Insurance Termination Time, Corebridge shall have in effect all insurance programs required to comply with Corebridge’s contractual obligations and such other Policies required by Applicable Law or as reasonably necessary or appropriate for companies operating a business similar to Corebridge’s business.

(e) Neither Corebridge nor any member of the Corebridge Group, in connection with making a claim under any insurance policy of AIG or any member of the AIG Group pursuant to this Section 8.6, shall take any action that would be reasonably likely to (i) have a material and adverse impact on the then-current relationship between AIG or any member of the AIG Group, on the one hand, and the applicable insurance company, broker or third-party claims administrator, on the other hand; (ii) result in the applicable insurance company terminating or materially reducing coverage, or materially increasing the amount of any premium owed by AIG or any member of the AIG Group under the applicable insurance policy; or (iii) otherwise compromise, jeopardize or interfere in any material respect with the rights of AIG or any member of the AIG Group under the applicable insurance policy, it being understood that the good faith submission of a claim under an insurance policy in accordance with the insurance policy’s terms and conditions will not be deemed to be a breach of this Section 8.6(e).

(f) All payments and reimbursements by Corebridge pursuant to this Section 8.6 will be made within forty-five (45) days after Corebridge’s receipt of an invoice therefor from AIG, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties. If AIG incurs costs to enforce Corebridge’s obligations herein, Corebridge agrees to indemnify and hold harmless AIG for such enforcement costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, pursuant to Section 9.6(b). AIG shall retain the exclusive right to control its Policies and programs, including the right to exhaust, settle, release, commute, buy-back or otherwise resolve disputes with respect to any of its Policies and programs and to amend, modify or waive any rights under any such Policies and programs, notwithstanding whether any such Policies or programs apply to any Corebridge Liabilities and/or claims Corebridge has made or could make in the future, and no member of the Corebridge Group shall erode, exhaust, settle, release, commute, buyback or otherwise resolve disputes with AIG’s insurers with respect to any of AIG’s Policies and programs, or amend, modify or waive any rights under any such Policies and programs. Corebridge shall cooperate with AIG and share such information as is reasonably necessary in order to permit AIG to manage and conduct its insurance matters as AIG deems appropriate. Neither AIG nor any member of the AIG Group shall have any obligation any member of the Corebridge Group to secure extended reporting for any claims under any Policies of AIG or any member of the AIG Group. For the avoidance of doubt, each Party and any member of its applicable Group has the sole right to settle or otherwise resolve third party claims made against it or any member of its applicable Group covered under an applicable insurance Policy.

(g) This Agreement shall not be considered as an attempted assignment of any policy of insurance or as a contract of insurance and shall not be construed to waive any right or remedy of any member of the AIG Group in respect of any insurance policy or any other contract or policy of insurance

(h) Corebridge does hereby, for itself and each other member of the Corebridge Group, agree that no member of the AIG Group shall have any Liability whatsoever as a result of the Policies and practices of AIG and the members of the AIG Group as in effect at any time, including as a result of the level or scope of any such insurance, the creditworthiness of any insurance carrier, the terms and conditions of any policy, or the adequacy or timeliness of any notice to any insurance carrier with respect to any claim or potential claim or otherwise.

Section 8.7 Non-Solicitation. Until the earlier of (i) one year after the date of this Agreement and (ii) the Second Threshold Date, except as otherwise agreed by the Parties, neither Party nor any of its respective Affiliates shall solicit for employment any then-current employee at Grade Level 26 (or any equivalent successor level) or above of the other Party or any of such other Party’s Affiliates, or hire any such employee; provided that this Section 8.7 will not prohibit either Party or its respective Affiliates from (a) making general solicitations for employment not specifically directed at employees of the other Party or the other Party’s Affiliates and hiring any person who responds solely as a result of such general solicitations, (b) soliciting for employment or hiring any person referred to such Party or such Affiliate by a recruiter or search firm who has not been engaged for the purpose of specifically recruiting, or given instructions to specifically recruit, such person or employees of the other Party or its Affiliates, or (c) soliciting or employing any such person who has ceased to be employed by the other Party or any of its Affiliates for a period of at least six months.

(viii) any Liability the release of which would result in the release of any Person other than a Person expressly contemplated to be released pursuant to this Section 9.1.

In addition, nothing contained in Section 9.1 shall release any member of the AIG Group from honoring its existing obligations to indemnify any director, officer or employee of Corebridge who was a director, officer or employee of any member of the AIG Group at or prior to the Separation Time, to the extent such director, officer or employee becomes a named defendant in any Action with respect to which such director, officer or employee was entitled to such indemnification pursuant to such existing obligations; it being understood that, if the underlying obligation giving rise to such Action is a Corebridge Liability, Corebridge shall indemnify AIG for such Liability (including AIG’s costs to indemnify the director, officer or employee) in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Article IX.

Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, Corebridge shall, and shall cause the other members of the Corebridge Group to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless AIG, each member of the AIG Group and each of their respective past, present and future directors, officers, employees and agents, in each case in their respective capacities as such, and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “AIG Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Liabilities of the AIG Indemnitees relating to, arising out of or resulting from, directly or indirectly, any of the following items (without duplication):

(d) except to the extent it relates to an AIG Liability, any guarantee, indemnification or contribution obligation, surety bond or other credit support agreement, arrangement, commitment or understanding for the benefit of any member of the Corebridge Group by any member of the AIG Group that survives following the Separation; and

(e) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, with respect to all information (i) contained in the IPO Registration Statement or any Prospectus (including in any amendments or supplements thereto) (other than information provided by AIG to Corebridge in writing specifically for inclusion in the IPO Registration Statement or any Prospectus and that relates to the AIG Business), (ii) contained in any public filings made by Corebridge with the SEC following the date of the IPO, or (iii) provided by Corebridge to AIG in writing specifically for inclusion in AIG’s annual or quarterly or current reports following the date of the IPO to the extent (A) such information pertains to (x) a member of the Corebridge Group or (y) the Corebridge Business or (B) AIG has provided prior written notice to Corebridge that such information will be included in one or more annual or quarterly or current reports, specifying how such information will be presented, and the information is included in such annual or quarterly or current reports; provided, that this subclause (B) shall not apply to the extent that any such Liability arises out of or results from, or in connection with, any action or inaction of any member of the AIG Group, including as a result of any misstatement or omission of any information by any member of the AIG Group to Corebridge.

Section 9.3 Indemnification by AIG. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, AIG shall, and shall cause the other members of the AIG Group to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Corebridge, each member of the Corebridge Group and each of their respective past, present and future directors, officers, employees or agents, in each case in their respective capacities as such, and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Corebridge Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Liabilities of the Corebridge Indemnitees relating to, arising out of or resulting from, directly or indirectly, any of the following items (without duplication):

(e) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, with respect to all information (i) contained in the IPO Registration Statement or any Prospectus (including in any amendments or supplements thereto) provided by AIG in writing specifically for inclusion therein to the extent such information pertains to (x) any member of the AIG Group or (y) the AIG Business or (ii) provided by AIG to Corebridge in writing specifically for inclusion in Corebridge’s annual or quarterly or current reports following the date of the IPO to the extent (A) such information pertains to (x) a member of the AIG Group or (y) the AIG Business or (B) Corebridge has provided written notice to AIG that such information will be included in one or more annual or quarterly or current reports, specifying how such information will be presented, and the information is included in such annual or quarterly or current reports; provided, that this subclause (B) shall not apply to the extent that any such Liability arises out of or results from, or in connection with, any action or inaction of any member of the Corebridge Group, including as a result of any misstatement or omission of any information by any member of the Corebridge Group to AIG.

Section 9.4 Indemnification Obligation Procedure Net of Insurance Proceeds and Other Amounts.

(a) The Parties intend that any Liability subject to indemnification, contribution or reimbursement pursuant to this Article IX will be net of Insurance Proceeds or other amounts actually recovered (net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof) from any Person by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in respect of any indemnifiable Liability. Accordingly, the amount which either Party (an “Indemnifying Party”) is required to pay to any Person entitled to indemnification or contribution hereunder (an “Indemnitee”) will be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds or other amounts actually recovered (net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof) from any Person by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in respect of the related Liability. If an Indemnitee receives a payment (an “Indemnity Payment”) required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Liability and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds or any other amounts in respect of such Liability, then within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of such Insurance Proceeds, the Indemnitee will pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the excess of the Indemnity Payment received over the amount of the Indemnity Payment that would have been due if the Insurance Proceeds or such other amounts (net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof) had been received, realized or recovered before the Indemnity Payment was made.

(b) The Parties agree that it is their intent that any third party insurer that would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or, solely by virtue of any provision contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, have any subrogation rights with respect thereto, it being understood that no third party insurer or any other third party shall be entitled to a “windfall” (i.e., a benefit they would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the indemnification provisions) by virtue of the indemnification and contribution provisions in this Agreement. Each Party shall, and shall cause the members of its Group to, use commercially reasonable efforts (taking into account the probability of success on the merits and the cost of expending such efforts, including attorneys’ fees and expenses) to collect or recover any Insurance Proceeds that may be collectible or recoverable respecting the Liabilities for which indemnification or contribution may be available under this Article IX. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnifying Party may not delay making any indemnification payment required under the terms of this Agreement, or otherwise satisfying any indemnification obligation, pending the outcome of any Action to collect or recover Insurance Proceeds, and an Indemnitee need not attempt to collect any Insurance Proceeds prior to making a claim for indemnification or contribution or receiving any Indemnity Payment otherwise owed to it under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

Section 9.5 Procedures for Indemnification of Third-Party Claims.

(a) Notice of Claims. If, at or following the Separation Time, an Indemnitee shall receive notice or otherwise learn of the assertion by a Person (including any Governmental Authority) who is not a member of the AIG Group or the Corebridge Group of any claim or of the commencement by any such Person of any Action (collectively, a “Third-Party Claim”) with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnitee pursuant to Section 9.2 or Section 9.3, or any other Section of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, such Indemnitee shall give such Indemnifying Party written notice thereof as soon as practicable, but in any event within fourteen (14) days (or sooner if the nature of the Third-Party Claim so requires) after becoming aware of such Third-Party Claim. Any such notice shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, including the facts and circumstances giving rise to such claim for indemnification, and include copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnitee relating to the Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of an Indemnitee to provide notice in accordance with this Section 9.5(a) shall not relieve an Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by the Indemnitee’s failure to provide notice in accordance with this Section 9.5(a).

(b) Control of Defense. Subject to any third party insurer’s rights pursuant to any insurance policies of either Party, an Indemnifying Party may elect to defend (and seek to settle or compromise), at its own expense and with its own counsel, any Third-Party Claim; provided, that, prior to the Indemnifying Party assuming and controlling defense of such Third-Party Claim, it shall first confirm to the Indemnitee in writing that, assuming the facts presented to the Indemnifying Party by the Indemnitee being true, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify the Indemnitee for any such damages to the extent resulting from, or arising out of, such Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense and, in the course of defending such Third-Party Claim, (i) the Indemnifying Party discovers that the facts presented at the time the Indemnifying Party acknowledged its indemnification obligation in respect of such Third-Party Claim were not true in all material respects and (ii) such untruth provides a reasonable basis for asserting that the Indemnifying Party does not have an indemnification obligation in respect of such Third-Party Claim, then (A) the Indemnifying Party shall not be bound by such acknowledgment, (B) the Indemnifying Party shall promptly thereafter provide the Indemnitee written notice of its assertion that it does not have an indemnification obligation in respect of such Third-Party Claim and (C) the Indemnitee shall have the right to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim. Within fourteen (14) days after the receipt of a notice from an Indemnitee in accordance with Section 9.5(a) (or sooner, if the nature of the Third-Party Claim so requires), the Indemnifying Party shall provide written notice to the Indemnitee indicating whether the Indemnifying Party shall assume responsibility for defending the Third-Party Claim and specifying any reservations or exceptions to its defense. If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for defending any Third-Party Claim as provided in this Section 9.5(b) or fails to notify an Indemnitee of its election within fourteen (14) days after receipt of the notice from an Indemnitee as provided in Section 9.5(a), then the Indemnitee that is the subject of such Third-Party Claim shall be entitled to continue to conduct and control the defense of such Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent a Third-Party Claim involves or would reasonably be expected to involve (I) both a Corebridge Liability and an AIG Liability (collectively, a “Shared Third-Party Claim”), AIG shall have the sole right to defend and control such portion of any Action relating to such Third-Party Claim to the extent it relates to an AIG Liability, and Corebridge shall have the sole right to defend and control such portion of any Action relating to such Third-Party Claim to the extent it relates to a Corebridge Liability, or (II) an Action by or against a Governmental Authority, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to elect to defend (and seek to settle or compromise) such Third-Party Claim pursuant to this Section 9.5(b).

(c) Allocation of Defense Costs. If an Indemnifying Party has elected to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, whether with or without any reservations or exceptions with respect to such defense, then such Indemnifying Party shall be solely liable for all fees and expenses incurred by it in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim and shall not be entitled to seek any indemnification or reimbursement from the Indemnitee for any such fees or expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party during the course of the defense of such Third-Party Claim by such Indemnifying Party, regardless of any subsequent decision by the Indemnifying Party to reject or otherwise abandon its assumption of such defense. If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for defending any Third-Party Claim or fails to notify an Indemnitee of its election within fourteen (14) days after receipt of a notice from an Indemnitee as provided in Section 9.5(a), and the Indemnitee conducts and controls the defense of such Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party has an indemnification obligation with respect to such Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for all reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim. In the event of a Shared Third-Party Claim, each Party shall be liable for its portion of the fees and expenses incurred by such Party in connection with the defense of such Shared Third-Party Claim, except as otherwise agreed between the Parties.

(d) Right to Monitor and Participate. An Indemnitee that does not conduct and control the defense of any Third-Party Claim, an Indemnifying Party that has failed to elect to defend any Third-Party Claim as contemplated hereby, and either Party in the case of a Shared Third-Party Claim, nevertheless shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel as necessary) of its own choosing to monitor and participate in (but not control) the defense of any Third-Party Claim for which it is a potential Indemnitee or Indemnifying Party, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnitee or Indemnifying Party, as the case may be, and the provisions of Section 9.5(c) shall not apply to such fees and expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Party shall cooperate with the Party entitled to conduct and control the defense of such Third-Party Claim in such defense and make available to the controlling Party, at the non-controlling Party’s expense, all witnesses, information and materials in such Party’s possession or under such Party’s control relating thereto as are reasonably required by the controlling Party. In addition to the foregoing, if any Indemnitee shall in good faith determine that such Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party have actual or potential differing defenses or conflicts of interest between them that make joint representation inappropriate, then the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel as necessary) and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, and in such case the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel (plus one local counsel for each applicable jurisdiction) for all Indemnitees.

(e) No Settlement. Neither Party may settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim for which an Indemnitee is seeking to be indemnified hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, unless such settlement or compromise: (i) is solely for monetary damages that are fully payable by the settling or compromising Party, (ii) does not involve any admission, finding or determination of wrongdoing or violation of Applicable Law by the other Party or another member of its Group or any Indemnitee, (iii) does not encumber any of the Assets of the other Party or another member of its Group or any Indemnitee or impose a condition that would adversely affect the other Party or another member of its Group or any Indemnitee or the conduct of their respective businesses and (iv) and provides for a full, unconditional and irrevocable release of the other Party and the other members of its Group and all Indemnitees from all Liability in connection with the Third-Party Claim. The Parties hereby agree that if a Party presents the other Party with a written notice containing a proposal to settle or compromise a Third-Party Claim for which either Party is seeking to be indemnified hereunder and the Party receiving such proposal does not respond in any manner to the Party presenting such proposal within thirty (30) days (or within any such shorter time period that may be required by Applicable Law or court order) of receipt of such proposal, then the Party receiving such proposal shall be deemed to have consented to the terms of such proposal.

Section 9.6 Additional Matters.

(a) Timing of Payments. Indemnification or contribution payments in respect of any Liabilities for which an Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Article IX shall be paid reasonably promptly (but in any event within forty-five (45) days of the final determination of the amount that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Article IX) by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnitee as such Liabilities are incurred upon demand by the Indemnitee, including reasonably satisfactory documentation setting forth the basis for the amount of such indemnification or contribution payment, including documentation with respect to calculations made and consideration of any Insurance Proceeds that actually reduce the amount of such Liabilities. The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Article IX shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnitee, and (ii) the knowledge by the Indemnitee of Liabilities for which it might be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(b) Notice of Direct Claims. Any claim for indemnification or contribution under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement that does not result from a Third-Party Claim shall be asserted by written notice given by the Indemnitee to the applicable Indemnifying Party; provided, that the failure by an Indemnitee to so assert any such claim shall not prejudice the ability of the Indemnitee to do so at a later time except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby. Such Indemnifying Party shall have a period of thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice within which to respond thereto. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30)-day period, such specified claim shall be conclusively deemed a Liability of the Indemnifying Party under this Section 9.6(b) or, in the case of any written notice in which the amount of the claim (or any portion thereof) is estimated, on such later date when the amount of the claim (or such portion thereof) becomes finally determined. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30)-day period or rejects such claim in whole or in part, such Indemnitee shall, subject to the provisions of Article X, be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to such party as contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, as applicable, without prejudice to its continuing rights to pursue indemnification or contribution hereunder.

(c) Pursuit of Claims Against Third Parties. If (i) a Party incurs any Liability arising out of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, (ii) an adequate legal or equitable remedy is not available for any reason against the other Party to satisfy the Liability incurred by the incurring Party and (iii) a legal or equitable remedy may be available to the other Party against a third party for such Liability, then the other Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the incurring Party, at the incurring Party’s expense, to permit the incurring Party to obtain the benefits of such legal or equitable remedy against the third party.

(d) Subrogation. In the event of payment by or on behalf of any Indemnifying Party to any Indemnitee in connection with any Third-Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnitee as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnitee may have any right, defense or claim relating to such Third-Party Claim against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such Third-Party Claim or against any other Person. Such Indemnitee shall cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right, defense or claim.

Section 9.7 Right of Contribution.

(a) Contribution. If any right of indemnification contained in Section 9.2 or Section 9.3 is held unenforceable or is unavailable for any reason, or is insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnitee in respect of any Liability for which such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder, then the Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amounts paid or payable by the Indemnitees as a result of such Liability (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and the members of its Group, on the one hand, and the Indemnitees entitled to contribution, on the other hand, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

(b) Allocation of Relative Fault. Solely for purposes of determining relative fault pursuant to this Section 9.7: (i) any fault associated with the business conducted with the Delayed Corebridge Assets or Delayed Corebridge Liabilities (except for the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of a member of the AIG Group) or with the ownership, operation or activities of the Corebridge Business prior to the Separation Time shall be deemed to be the fault of Corebridge and the other members of the Corebridge Group, and no such fault shall be deemed to be the fault of AIG or any other member of the AIG Group and (ii) any fault associated with the business conducted with Delayed AIG Assets or Delayed AIG Liabilities (except for the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of a member of the Corebridge Group) or with the ownership, operation or activities of the AIG Business prior to the Separation Time shall be deemed to be the fault of AIG and the other members of the AIG Group, and no such fault shall be deemed to be the fault of Corebridge or any other member of the Corebridge Group.

Section 9.8 Covenant Not to Sue. Each Party hereby covenants and agrees that none of it, the members of such Party’s Group or any Person claiming through it shall bring suit or otherwise assert any claim against any Indemnitee, or assert a defense against any claim asserted by any Indemnitee, before any court, arbitrator, mediator or administrative agency anywhere in the world, alleging that: (a) the assumption of any Corebridge Liabilities by Corebridge or a member of the Corebridge Group on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements is void or unenforceable for any reason, (b) the retention of any AIG Liabilities by AIG or a member of the AIG Group on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements is void or unenforceable for any reason or (c) the provisions of this Article IX are void or unenforceable for any reason.

Section 9.9 Remedies Cumulative. The remedies provided in this Article IX shall be cumulative and, subject to the provisions of Article X, shall not preclude assertion by any Indemnitee of any other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies against any Indemnifying Party.

Section 9.10 Survival of Indemnitees. The rights and obligations of each of AIG and Corebridge and their respective Indemnitees under this Article IX shall survive (a) the sale or other transfer by either Party or any member of its Group of any Assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities or (b) any merger, consolidation, business combination, sale of all or substantially all of its Assets, restructuring, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction involving either Party or any of the members of its Group.

Section 9.11 Tax Matters Agreement Coordination. The above provisions of Section 9.1 through Section 9.10 shall not apply to Taxes and Tax matters. It is understood and agreed that Taxes and Tax matters, including the control of Tax-related proceedings, shall be governed by the Tax Matters Agreement. In the case of any conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and the Tax Matters Agreement in relation to any matters addressed by the Tax Matters Agreement, the Tax Matters Agreement shall control.

Article X
DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Section 10.1 Negotiation and Mediation.

(a) In the event of any dispute or claim arising out of, relating to, or in connection with this Agreement (“Dispute”), the Parties agree to work together in good faith to resolve the Dispute between them.

(b) If any Party considers that a Dispute has arisen, it shall serve a notice of the Dispute (“Notice of Dispute”) on the other Party and demand that senior officers of each Party meet to resolve the Dispute.

(c) If the Dispute is not resolved within 30 days of such Notice of Dispute, then any Party shall have the right to demand that mediation commence. Any such mediation shall be conducted in accordance with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) Commercial Mediation Procedures except as they may be modified herein. The Parties shall share the costs of the mediator and the process of mediation (provided that each Party shall be responsible for its own costs of preparing for and appearing before the mediator). The decision of the mediator shall not be binding on the Parties, but the Parties agree that each shall act in good faith while the process of mediation is proceeding.

(d) Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, any Party shall have the right to commence arbitration at any time after the expiration of 30 days after service of the Notice of Dispute under Section 10.1(b). Any disputes concerning the propriety of the commencement of the arbitration shall be finally settled by the arbitral tribunal.

Section 10.2 Arbitration. Any Dispute referred to arbitration shall be finally resolved according to the following rules of arbitration:

(a) The arbitration shall be administered by the AAA under its Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect (the “Rules”) except as modified herein. The seat of the arbitration shall be New York, New York and it shall be conducted in the English language.

(b) There shall be three arbitrators of whom each Party shall select one within 15 days of respondent’s receipt of claimant’s request for arbitration. The two Party-appointed arbitrators shall select a third arbitrator to serve as Chair of the tribunal within 15 days of the selection of the second arbitrator. If any arbitrator has not been appointed within the time limits specified herein, such appointment shall be made by the AAA in accordance with the Rules upon the written request of either Party within 15 days of such request. The hearing shall be held no later than 120 days following the appointment of the third arbitrator.

(c) The arbitral tribunal shall permit prehearing discovery that is relevant to the subject matter of the dispute and material to the outcome of the case, taking into account the Parties’ desire that the arbitration be conducted expeditiously and cost effectively. All discovery shall be completed within 60 days of the appointment of the third arbitrator.

(d) By agreeing to arbitration, the Parties do not intend to deprive a court of its jurisdiction to issue a pre-arbitral injunction, pre-arbitral attachment or other order in aid of arbitration proceedings and the enforcement of any award. Without prejudice to such provisional remedies as may be available under the jurisdiction of a court, the arbitral tribunal shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies, to direct the Parties to request that any court modify or vacate any temporary or preliminary relief issued by such court, and to award damages for the failure of any Party to respect the arbitral tribunal’s orders to that effect. The Parties agree that any ruling by the arbitral tribunal on interim measures shall be deemed to be a final award with respect to the subject matter of the ruling and shall be fully enforceable as such. The Parties hereby irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware solely in respect of any proceeding relating to or in aid of an arbitration under this Agreement. Each Party unconditionally and irrevocably waives any objections which they may have now or in the future to the jurisdiction of the Delaware Courts for this purpose, including objections by reason of lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue or inconvenient forum. Nothing in this paragraph limits the scope of the Parties’ agreement to arbitrate or the power of the arbitral tribunal to determine the scope of its own jurisdiction.

(e) The arbitral award shall be in writing, shall state the findings of fact and conclusions of law on which it is based, shall be final and binding and shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between the Parties regarding any claims, counterclaims, issues or accounting presented to the arbitral tribunal. The arbitration shall be governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., and judgment upon any award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction of the award or having jurisdiction over the relevant Party or its Assets. The Parties hereby irrevocably waive any defense on the basis of forum non conveniens in any proceedings to enforce an arbitration award rendered by a tribunal constituted pursuant to this Agreement. The Parties undertake to carry out any award without delay.

(f) The Parties will bear equally all fees, costs, disbursements and other expenses of the arbitration, and each Party shall be solely responsible for all fees, costs, disbursements and other expenses incurred in the preparation and prosecution of their own case; provided that in the event that a Party fails to comply with the orders or decision of the arbitral tribunal, then such noncomplying Party shall be liable for all costs and expenses (including attorney fees) incurred by the other Party in its effort to obtain either an order to compel, or an enforcement of an award, from a court of competent jurisdiction.

(g) The arbitral tribunal shall have the authority, for good cause shown, to extend any of the time periods in this arbitration provision either on its own authority or upon the request of either Party. The arbitral tribunal shall be authorized in its discretion to grant pre-award and post-award interest at commercial rates. The arbitral tribunal shall have no authority to award punitive, exemplary or multiple damages or any other damages not measured by the prevailing Party’s actual damages. The arbitral tribunal shall have the authority to order specific performance or to issue any other type of temporary or permanent injunction.

(h) All notices by one Party to the other in connection with the arbitration shall be in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.2 hereof, except that all notices for a request for arbitration made pursuant to this Article X must be made by personal delivery or receipted overnight courier. This agreement to arbitrate shall be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each Party. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Parties shall remain in full force and effect pending the award in any arbitral proceeding hereunder.

Section 10.3 Confidentiality.

(a) The Parties agree that any negotiation, mediation or arbitration (the “Dispute Resolution Process”) pursuant to this Article X shall be kept confidential. The existence of the Dispute Resolution Process, any non-public information provided in the Dispute Resolution Process, and any submissions, orders or awards made in the Dispute Resolution Process, shall not be disclosed to any non-Party except the mediator, tribunal, the AAA, the Parties’ counsel, experts, witnesses, accountants and auditors, insurers and reinsurers, and any other Person necessary to the conduct of the Dispute Resolution Process.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party may disclose information referred to in Section 10.3(a) to the extent that disclosure may be required to fulfill a legal duty, protect or pursue a legal right, or enforce or challenge an award in bona fide legal proceedings. This confidentiality provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and of any Dispute Resolution Process brought pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 11.3 Specific Performance; Remedies. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that, without the necessity of posting bond or other undertaking, the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such Party is entitled at law or in equity. In the event that any action is brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, no Party shall allege, and each Party hereby waives any defense or counterclaim, that there is an adequate remedy at law. The parties further agree that nothing contained in this Section 11.3 shall require a Party to institute any action for (or limit such Party’s right to institute any action for) specific performance under this Section 11.3 before exercising any other right under this Agreement.

Section 11.4 Applicable Law. This Agreement and any dispute arising hereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to its principles or rules of conflict of laws, to the extent such principles or rules are not mandatorily applicable by statute and would permit or require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

Section 11.5 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under Applicable Law, but if any provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any Applicable Law in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or portion of any provision in such jurisdiction, and this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion of any provision had never been contained herein.

Section 11.6 Confidential Information. All information provided by either Party shall, except if the purpose for which such information is furnished pursuant to this Agreement contemplates such disclosure or is for disclosure in public documents of Corebridge or any of its Subsidiaries or AIG or any of its Subsidiaries and, except for disclosure to other Subsidiaries of AIG or Corebridge, as the case may be, be kept strictly confidential and, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law or as agreed by the Parties, neither Party shall disclose, and each shall take all necessary steps to ensure that none of their respective directors, officers, employers, agents and representatives disclose, or make use of, except in accordance with Applicable Law, such information in any manner whatsoever until such information otherwise becomes generally available to the public; provided, however, this Section 11.6 shall not apply to information relating to or disclosed in the IPO Registration Statement or in connection with any registration statement filed in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement. In no event shall either Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives use material non-public information of the other to acquire or dispose of securities of the other or transact in any way in such securities. Each Party shall be liable for any breach of this Section 11.6 by it or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives.

Section 11.7 Amendment, Modification and Waiver.

(a) This Agreement may be amended, restated, supplemented, modified or terminated, in each case, only by a written instrument signed by each of Corebridge and AIG.

(b) A provision of this Agreement may only be waived by a written instrument signed by the Party waiving a right hereunder. No delay on the part of a Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any waiver on the part of a Party of any right, power or privilege, nor any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege, preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right, power or privilege.

Section 11.8 Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns. Neither Party shall assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 11.8 shall be null and void ab initio.

Section 11.9 Further Assurances. In addition to the actions specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, each Party hereto shall execute and deliver such additional documents, instruments, conveyances and assurances, take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable to carry out the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 11.10 Third Party Beneficiaries. Other than as set forth in Article IX with respect to any AIG Indemnitee or Corebridge Indemnitee, in each case, in its capacity as such, and as expressly set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any person, other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement. Only the Parties that are signatories to this Agreement (and their respective permitted successors and assigns) shall have any obligation or liability under, in connection with, arising out of, resulting from or in any way related to this Agreement or any other matter contemplated hereby, or the process leading up to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 11.11 Discretion of Parties. Where this Agreement requires or permits any Party to make or take any decision, determination or action with respect to matters governed by this Agreement, unless expressly provided otherwise, such decision, determination or action may be made or taken by such Party in its sole and absolute discretion.

Section 11.12 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, including any schedules or exhibits hereto or thereto, constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter of hereof and thereof.

Section 11.13 Term. Except to the extent set forth in the following sentence, this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect as of the date that is one year following the Fourth Threshold Date.

Section 11.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each Party and delivered to the other Party. Each Party may deliver its signed counterpart of this Agreement to the other Party by means of electronic mail or any other electronic medium utilizing image scan technology, and such delivery will have the same legal effect as hand delivery of an originally executed counterpart.

Section 11.15 Limitations of Liability. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither Corebridge or any member of the Corebridge Group, on the one hand, nor AIG or any member of the AIG Group, on the other hand, shall be liable under this Agreement to the other for any special, indirect, punitive, exemplary, remote, speculative or similar damages in excess of compensatory damages of the other arising in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (other than any such Liability with respect to a Third-Party Claim).

Section 11.16 Mutual Drafting. This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements shall be deemed to be the joint work product of the Parties and any rule of construction that a document shall be interpreted or construed against a drafter of such document shall not be applicable.

Section 11.17 Force Majeure. No Party shall be deemed in default of this Agreement or, unless otherwise expressly provided therein, any Ancillary Agreement for any delay or failure to fulfill any obligation (other than a payment obligation) hereunder or thereunder so long as and to the extent to which any delay or failure in the fulfillment of such obligation is prevented, frustrated, hindered or delayed as a consequence of circumstances of Force Majeure. In the event of any such excused delay, the time for performance of such obligations (other than a payment obligation) shall be extended for a period equal to the time lost by reason of the delay. A Party claiming the benefit of this provision shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after the occurrence of any such event, (a) provide written notice to the other Party of the nature and extent of any such Force Majeure condition and (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to remove any such causes and resume performance under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, as applicable, as soon as reasonably practicable.

Section 11.18 No Set-Off. Except as expressly set forth in any Ancillary Agreement or as otherwise mutually agreed to in writing by the Parties, neither Party nor any member of such Party’s Group shall have any right of set-off or other similar rights with respect to (a) any amounts received pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or (b) any other amounts claimed to be owed to the other Party or any member of its Group arising out of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

Section 11.19 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, or as otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties, all fees, costs and expenses incurred at or prior to the Separation Time in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and implementation of this Agreement, including the Separation, the IPO and any Ancillary Agreement and the IPO Registration Statement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, will be borne by the Party or its applicable Subsidiary incurring such fees, costs or expenses.

Section 11.20 Interpretation. When reference is made in this Agreement to an Article or a Section, such reference shall be to an Article or a Section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. All references herein to any agreement, instrument, statute, rule or regulation are to the agreement, instrument, statute, rule or regulation as amended, modified, supplemented or replaced from time to time (and, in the case of statutes, include any rules and regulations promulgated under said statutes) and to any section of any statute, rule or regulation including any successor to said section. The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” Whenever the words “hereof,” “hereto,” “hereby,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. Whenever the word “or” is used in this Agreement, it shall not be exclusive. Whenever the word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” is used in this Agreement, it shall be deemed to mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends and shall not mean simply “if.” Whenever the singular is used herein, the same shall include the plural, and whenever the plural is used herein, the same shall include the singular, where appropriate. Whenever the word “Dollars” or the “$” sign appear in this Agreement, they shall be construed to mean United States Dollars, and all transactions under this Agreement shall be in United States Dollars. This Agreement has been fully negotiated by both parties and shall not be construed by any Governmental Authority against either Party by virtue of the fact that such Party was the drafting Party.
