If the Purchaser withholds or deducts (or causes to be withheld or deducted) any amounts not subject to the payment of an increased amount pursuant to the foregoing sentence, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction

The sale referred to in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence shall be of the same percentage ownership of each class of shares of Company Holdings as the percentage ownership of the Company represented by the Shares and, if the Option is exercised, the Option Shares, as the case may be. In the event the transactions are structured in this manner, the parties will amend this Agreement (the “Amended Agreement”) solely to the extent necessary to properly reflect the transfer to Company Holdings and the sale of shares of Company Holdings (rather than those of the Company) described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the first sentence of this clause 2.8, with all other provisions, terms and conditions remaining the same.

If the Indemnifying Party has assumed a defense of any Third Party Claim, (i) the Indemnifying Party will keep the Indemnified Person reasonably informed as to the status and progress of the Third Party Claim, including the receipt of material communications related thereto and copy the Indemnified Party on all material pleadings, filings and other correspondence relating thereto and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of

the Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), consent to a settlement, compromise or discharge of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim, unless such settlement, compromise or discharge does not involve any finding or admission of any violation of Law or admission of any wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party and involves solely money damages payable by the Parent or the Seller, and the Indemnifying Party shall (i) not encumber any of the material assets of any Indemnified Party or agree to any restriction or condition that would apply to or materially adversely affect any Indemnified Party and (ii) obtain, as a condition of any settlement or other resolution, a complete and unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from any and all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim.

With respect to any Third Party Claim for which the Indemnified Party is proceeding with its own defense in accordance with this clause 7.3, the Indemnified Party shall keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed as to all material developments related to the Third Party Claim and copy the Indemnifying Party on all material pleadings, filings and other correspondence relating thereto. The Indemnified Party

shall not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any claim or demand for which it is seeking indemnification from the Indemnifying Party or admit to any liability with respect to such claim (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) or demand without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause 7, no Indemnifying Party shall have any liability under this clause 7.3 for any Losses arising out of or in connection with any Third Party Claim that is settled or compromised by an Indemnified Party in violation of this Agreement

(c)

In the event any Indemnifying Party receives notice of a claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to this clause 7.3 that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) Business Days following its receipt of such notice whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party under this clause 7.3. The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with and assist the Indemnifying Party in determining the validity of any such claim for indemnity by the Indemnified Party.

(d)

Anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, the Parent, the Seller and the Purchaser hereby agree that following the Completion, the sole and exclusive remedy of a party for any breach or inaccuracy of any Fundamental Warranties is pursuant to the indemnification procedures described in this clause 7.

For the purposes of determining the amount of Losses that are the subject matter of a claim for indemnification under clause 7.4, each representation and warranty contained in this Agreement shall be read without regard to and without giving effect to any materiality qualifier, including “Material Adverse Effect,” contained therein.

7.5

(a) The Purchaser’s Pre-Completion Covenants (other than the Purchaser’s Pre-Completion Covenants set forth in clause 4 which shall survive until the Subsequent Completion Date, if applicable) shall terminate and be extinguished at Initial Completion upon and subject to Initial Completion having been executed in full in accordance with clause 5 and shall not survive Initial Completion and the Purchaser shall have no liability with respect to the Purchaser’s Pre-Completion Covenants after Initial Completion and any claims therefor shall terminate and be extinguished as of Initial Completion, provided that the liability of the Purchaser for breaches of its covenants contemplated in clause 10.9, 15.1, 16.2 or 19 shall survive Initial Completion until April 30, 2014, and (b) with the exception of the Purchaser Warranties set out in clauses 6.5(a), (b), (c) and (f), the Purchaser Warranties with respect to each Completion shall terminate and be extinguished at such Completion upon and subject to such Completion having been executed in full in accordance with clause 5 and shall not survive such Completion, and save in relation to the Purchaser Warranties set out in clauses 6.5(a), (b), (c) and (f), the Purchaser shall have no liability with respect to such Purchaser Warranties after such Completion and any claims therefor shall terminate and be extinguished as of such Completion.

Breach Trigger Event or otherwise) and (b) in no event shall the Parent, the Seller or any of their respective Affiliates seek to recover any money damages, including consequential, indirect or punitive damages, as a result of any breach or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any other Transaction Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than (i) in the case of an LD Breach Trigger Event, a claim for the payment of the entire Deposit Amount to the Seller in accordance with the terms hereof or (ii) in the case of any Other Breach Trigger Event, a claim for the payment of damages to be paid out of the Deposit Amount to the Seller with the terms hereof, except (x) in the case of actual fraud and (y) with respect to any obligations in clause 10.9, 15.1, 16.2 or 19.

7.18

The Parent, the Seller and the Purchaser hereby agree and acknowledge that the Deposit Amount constitutes a reasonable estimate of the damages that will be suffered by the Parent and the Seller as a result of any breach or failure giving rise to an LD Breach Trigger Event and that the payment of the Deposit amount by way of liquidated damages in respect of an LD Breach Trigger Event is not a penalty, and the Purchaser waives any right it may otherwise have to challenge the payment of the Deposit or as a penalty or as unenforceable in any way.

7.19

The Purchaser on the one hand and the Seller and the Parent on the other acknowledge and agree that the agreements contained in this clause 7 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements, the other parties would not enter into this Agreement.

as otherwise contemplated by or necessary to effect the matters contemplated by the Transaction Agreements;

(b)

for matters identified in Schedule 8.1 of the Disclosure Letter;

(c)

as may otherwise be required by applicable Law or by the express terms of a Benefit Plan or Company Benefit Plan; or

(d)

as the Purchaser otherwise consents in writing in advance (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, it being understood and agreed that Purchaser shall notify the Company whether it grants or withholds its consent as promptly as practicable and, in the case of matters described by the Company as exigent, within forty-eight (48) hours, any such consent to be confirmed by email).

the Parent and the Seller shall use their respective best efforts to cause the Company and the Company Group Members (i) to conduct their business in the ordinary course and (ii) not to take any of the actions listed in Schedule 2.

8.2

The Seller and the Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to procure that the Company Group will, co-operate fully between the Signing Date and the Initial Completion in order to assist the Purchaser and its Affiliates to communicate with employees, agents and consultants of the Company Group and take actions to inform and retain such persons as employees, agents and consultants, provided that neither the Seller nor the Parent shall be obliged to do anything that would unreasonably interfere with any of the businesses or operations of the Parent or any of its Affiliates (including the Company and the Company Subsidiaries); and provided, further, that, anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, nothing herein shall obligate or be construed to obligate the Parent or the Seller to make, or to cause to be made, any payment to any employee, agent or consultant of the Company Group or any other third party in order to comply with its obligations under this clause 8.2.

8.3

With respect to the Indebtedness identified in Schedule 8.3 of the Disclosure Letter (the “Triggered Facilities”) that will continue to be outstanding on the Initial Completion Date, the Parent and the Seller shall, and shall cause the Company to, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a waiver or an amendment to each of the Triggered Facilities prior to the Initial Completion Date with respect to any breach of covenants contained in such Triggered Facilities that may arise out of or relate to the acquisition of the Shares and the Option Shares by the Purchaser and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Parent and the Seller agree, and shall cause the Company, to (a) cooperate and consult with the Purchaser, (b) provide the Purchaser with all notices and other material communications with the lenders under the Triggered Facilities related to any proposed amendments or the transactions contemplated hereby and (c) not object to the attendance of the Purchaser and its Representatives at any meetings or discussions with the lenders under the Triggered Facilities related to any proposed amendments or the transactions contemplated by this clause 8.3. Any actions taken in connection with seeking any such amendments or waivers shall be in accordance with applicable Law and in accordance with Schedule 8.3 of the Disclosure Letter; accordingly, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, the Parent and the Seller hereby agree that they shall not, and shall not permit the Company to, take or agree or commit to take any actions under the Triggered Facilities without the prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of the Purchaser, except in accordance with Schedule 8.3 of the Disclosure Letter.

to amend or waive (assuming compliance by Parent and Seller with their obligations in this clause 8.3) shall not constitute a breach of this clause 8.3 by the Parent or the Seller.

8.4

With respect to the Three-Year Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of October 9, 2012, among, inter alia, the Company, the banks party thereto from time to time, and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, the Parent and the Seller hereby agree that they shall, and shall cause the Company to, use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a waiver or an amendment under such facility with respect to any breach of covenants contained in such facility that may arise out of or relate to the acquisition of the Shares and the Option Shares, by the Purchaser and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that if at any time after the Signing Date the Company shall have drawn down any amounts under such revolving credit facility, then the Parent and the Seller hereby agree that, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, or delayed, they shall not, and shall not permit the Company to, take or agree or commit to amend or waive such facility except in accordance with Schedule 8.3 of the Disclosure Letter. For the avoidance of doubt, a failure to provide consent to amend or waive (assuming compliance by the Parent and the Seller with their obligations in this clause 8.4) shall not constitute a breach of this clause 8.4 by the Parent or the Seller.

9.	Undertakings

Following each Completion, the Purchaser on the one hand and the Parent and the Seller on the other shall promptly make or cause to be made (which shall in no event be later than any date required by applicable Law) all filings and notifications with all Governmental Authorities that are necessary, proper or advisable to complete and make effective the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements or as required by applicable Law. Before making or causing to be made any of the foregoing filings or notifications, subject to applicable Laws relating to the sharing of information, the relevant party shall provide the other with a draft of the filing or notification and a reasonable opportunity to review such draft, and shall consider in good faith the views of such other party regarding such filing or notification. Promptly after any of the foregoing filings or notifications have been made, the relevant party shall provide a copy thereof to the other party, subject to applicable Law.

9.2	Nothing in clause 9.1 shall require any party or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives to disclose:

(a)

any information that in the reasonable judgment of such party would result in the disclosure of any trade secrets of third parties or violate any of its obligations with respect to confidentiality; or

(b)

any privileged information or confidential competitive information of any party,

unless required by, or in accordance with, an order, ruling or determination of a Governmental Authority or applicable Law.

9.3

The Parent and the Seller covenant and undertake to the Purchaser that, except actions involving solely the Purchaser and its Affiliates, from the Signing Date until the Initial Completion Date (or earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms contained herein), neither the Parent nor the Seller shall, and the Parent and the Seller shall cause the Company Group and its, directors, officers, employees, agents or Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit any offers or proposals from any person relating to the sale, disposition, issuance, grant or other transfer of any securities, material assets or business of any of the Company Group Members (other than sale of assets in the ordinary course of business or as expressly permitted by this Agreement) or any other material transaction that would prevent, materially delay or materially impede the ability of Seller to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by the Long-Stop Date (other than as permitted by this Agreement) (any of the foregoing other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, a “Competing Transaction”), (ii) enter into or continue any discussion or negotiation in respect of a Competing Transaction, or provide any confidential information to any person in connection with a Competing Transaction, (iii) enter into any definitive documentation in connection with or consummate any Competing Transaction or (iv) file any amendments to or make any other filing with the SEC with respect to the Company Prospectus, including any public or publicly available correspondence with respect thereto, or request that the Company Prospectus be declared effective by the SEC or make any public announcements with respect to an initial public offering of the Company, notwithstanding the fact that any such failure to file or other inaction may result in the Company Prospectus being deemed stale by the SEC. On the Initial Completion Date, the Company shall file a Registration Withdrawal Request on Form RW with the SEC with respect to the Company Prospectus. For the avoidance of doubt, the Seller and the Parent may take any action reasonably necessary or advisable in furtherance of an initial public offering of the Company not otherwise prohibited by this clause 9.3 or this Agreement.

9.4	The Seller shall procure that, on or prior to Initial Completion, each Company Group Member terminate its participation in each Benefit Plan that is not a Company Benefit Plan, and in no event shall any Company Employee be entitled

to accrue any benefits under such Benefit Plans with respect to services rendered or compensation paid on or after the Initial Completion Date; provided, however, that each Company Employee who currently participates in an Equity Arrangement will continue to accrue vesting credit for services rendered to a Company Group Member following the Initial Completion Date, and provided further that benefits under the Equity Arrangements shall be paid in cash by the Company on the regularly scheduled payment date(s) pursuant to payment instructions provided by the Seller. The applicable Company Group Member shall retain all rights and obligations under each Company Benefit Plan on and after the Initial Completion Date (whether such rights or obligations arose or arise before, on or after the Initial Completion Date). The Purchaser shall or shall cause the Company to: (i) pay in cash all outstanding awards held by a Company Employee under the Parent 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan for ILFC Employees, the Parent 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan, the Parent 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan and the ILFC 2009 Long Term Incentive Plan no later than 45 days following the Initial Completion Date; (ii) pay in cash on the regularly scheduled payment date(s) pursuant to instructions provided by Seller, all stock salary, variable cash grants and variable stock awards that were previously granted to a Company Employee but remain unpaid on the Initial Completion Date; and (iii) provide short term incentive awards in cash that compensate such Company Employee in an equivalent manner to the variable stock awards, variable cash grants or the restricted stock awards attributable to the 2012 performance year in the event such awards and grants have not been made on or before the Initial Completion Date. Prior to the Initial Completion Date, the Seller shall use best efforts to cause the ILFC 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan to be amended to provide that restricted stock units granted thereunder (the “2009 RSUs”) that are held by Company Employees and former employees of any Company Group Member shall be paid in cash rather than in shares of common stock of the Parent.

9.5	On or prior to the Initial Completion Date, the Seller shall procure that, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

(a)

the employment of each employee of the Seller or any of its Affiliates whose duties relate primarily to the Business and who at such time is not already employed by the Company shall be transferred to the Company; and

(b)

the employment of each employee of any Company Group Member whose duties do not relate primarily to the Business shall be transferred to the Seller or an Affiliate (other than a Company Group Member).

9.6	(a) From and after the Initial Completion Date, the Seller shall, or shall procure that one or more of its Affiliates (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) shall, assume or retain all liabilities and obligations under the AIG

Non Qualified Retirement Income Plan and the Robert Duncan Supplemental Plan with respect to any Company Employee and any former employee of the Company and its Subsidiaries whose name is set forth on Schedule 9.6(a) of the Disclosure Letter (the “Retained NQ Liabilities”), and the Seller shall procure that the Retained NQ Liabilities shall be paid in accordance with their terms under one or more nonqualified retirement plans maintained or adopted by the Seller or one or more of its Affiliates (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries). (b) Effective as of the Initial Completion Date, the Purchaser shall provide that the Company shall adopt a nonqualified defined contribution retirement plan (the “Replacement DC Plan”) and shall make a contribution to the Replacement DC Plan in an amount necessary to provide allocations to each Company Employee whose name is set forth on Schedule 9.6(b) of the Disclosure Letter that are equivalent, on a benefits basis, determined using reasonable actuarial assumptions, to each such Company Employee’s unvested accrued benefit under the AIG Non-Qualified Retirement Income Plan as of the Initial Completion Date, and the Purchaser shall provide that the time and form of such benefits shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the Replacement DC Plan consistent with Section 409A of the U.S. Tax Code. For the avoidance of doubt, from and after the Initial Completion Date, the Seller shall have no liability or obligation in respect of any Company Employee listed in Schedule 9.6(b) of the Disclosure Letter under the AIG Non-Qualified Retirement Income Plan. (c) On or prior to the Initial Completion Date, the Seller shall cause each Company Employee who is a participant in the AIG Retirement Plan to be fully vested in any unvested portion of his or her accrued benefit under such plan effective as of the Initial Completion Date (the “Accelerated Vesting Amount”). (d) Not later than 45 days following the Initial Completion Date, the Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid to the Seller or its designee cash in an amount equal to the sum of the Retained NQ Liabilities and the Accelerated Vesting Amount.

9.7

Other than such higher amounts as may be individually negotiated with respect to any Company Employee, upon the termination of a Company Employee during the period commencing on the Initial Completion Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Initial Completion Date, the Purchaser shall provide, or shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to provide severance payments and benefits that are no less favorable than the severance payments and benefits to which the Company Employee would have been entitled under the policy, practice or arrangement of the Seller or its Affiliates in which he or she participated immediately before the Initial Completion Date, taking into account the Company Employee’s length of service with the Seller and its Affiliates prior to the Initial Completion Date and length of service with each Company Group Member on and after the Initial Completion Date.

9.8

From the date hereof through the Initial Completion, the Seller and the Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith to prepare and negotiate the Stockholders’ Agreement with the terms and conditions contemplated in the Stockholders’ Agreement term sheet set forth on Exhibit A hereto and otherwise consistent with customary terms and conditions for such agreements.

9.9	From the date hereof through the Deposit Due Date, the Seller and the Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith to prepare and negotiate the Escrow Agreement with each other and the Escrow Agent on terms and conditions mutually acceptable to the Seller and the Purchaser.

9.10	Prior to the Initial Completion, the Parent shall, and shall cause the Company to, enter into an amendment to the Litigation Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth on Schedule 9.10 of the Disclosure Letter.

10.

If a claim shall be made by any Governmental Authority, which if successful might result in an indemnity payment to an indemnified party pursuant to clause 14.3, then such indemnified party shall give notice to the indemnifying party in writing of such claim (a “Tax Claim”); provided, however, the failure to give such notice shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the indemnifying party has been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Seller shall have sole control over all proceedings and may make all decisions taken in connection with any Tax Claims for Taxes related to any consolidated, combined, affiliated or unitary group that includes a member of the Retained Group and any Company Group Member. Seller shall keep Purchaser reasonably informed of the status of any federal Income Tax audit regarding extraterritorial income or foreign sales company income. With respect to any Tax Claim relating to a Pre-Completion Tax Period that is not covered by the second sentence of this clause 14.7, the Seller shall, solely at its own cost and expense, control all proceedings and may make all decisions taken in connection with such Tax Claim; provided, however, the Seller shall keep Purchaser reasonably informed and shall not settle such Tax Claim without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, and the Purchaser and counsel of its own choosing shall have the right to participate fully, at its own expense, in all aspects of the prosecution or defense of such Tax Claim. The Seller and the Purchaser shall jointly control and participate in all proceedings taken in connection with any other Tax Claim relating to Taxes for any Straddle Period, and shall bear their own respective costs and expenses, provided that neither party shall settle any such Tax Claim without the prior written consent of the other. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the provisions of clause 7.3 shall not control with respect to a Tax Claim.

14.8

The Seller shall cause all tax allocation agreements or tax sharing agreements between a member of the Company Group and a member of the Retained Group to be terminated as of the Initial Completion Date, and shall ensure that such agreements are of no further force or effect as to any Company Group Member on and after the Initial Completion Date and that there shall be no further liabilities or obligations imposed on any Company Group Member under any such agreements.

14.9

All sales and transfer taxes, recording charges and similar taxes, fees or charges imposed as a result of the Transactions (collectively, the “Transfer Taxes”), together with any interest, penalties or additions to such Transfer Taxes, shall be borne equally by the Purchaser and Parent. The parties shall cooperate in timely making all filings, returns, reports and forms as necessary or appropriate to comply with the provisions of all applicable Laws in connection with the payment of such Transfer Taxes.

14.10

Seller shall be entitled to receive and retain any refund or other reimbursement or credit (including from any overpayment) actually received or applied to offset any other Tax liability in respect of Taxes of a Company Group Member for which Seller is responsible under clause 14.3 or 14.9, as applicable. The Company shall be entitled to receive and retain any other refund or other reimbursement or credit (including from any overpayment) actually received or applied to offset any other Tax liability of a Company Group Member. The Company and the Seller, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the other party of the receipt of any refund or other reimbursement or credit to which the other party is entitled hereunder and pay over such refund or other reimbursement or the amount of such credit, net of any cost attributable to such receipt or recognition.

14.11

The Company shall make payments to the Parent on or prior to the Initial Completion Date with respect to, and in an aggregate amount equal to, the reserves reflected on the most recent Financial Statement with respect to any uncertain tax positions regarding extraterritorial income (but without regard to the tax basis depreciation adjustment) and foreign sales company income, each adjusted by the Parent through the Initial Completion Date consistent with past practice.

any such information that becomes known or available pursuant to or as a result of the carrying out of the provisions of a Transaction Agreement (which information shall be governed by the confidentiality provisions, if any, set out therein).

Each of the parties hereto shall instruct its Affiliates and Representatives having access to such information of such obligation of confidentiality.

15.3

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements to the contrary, the parties acknowledge and agree that the Parent and its Affiliates may share any information relating to or obtained from the Purchaser or its Affiliates (including the Company and the Company Subsidiaries) with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and its respective Representatives.

Governing Law, Dispute Resolution and Jurisdiction

29.1

This Agreement, all transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and all claims and defenses of any nature (including contractual and non-contractual claims and defenses) arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any transaction contemplated by this Agreement, and the formation, applicability, breach, termination or validity of this Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any conflicts of law principles that would apply the Law of another jurisdiction; provided that the federal securities laws of the United States (including the case law of the U.S. federal courts thereunder) shall apply with respect to the determination of any liability of the Seller and/or the Parent under clause (c) of the proviso to clause 7.1 hereof.

29.2

Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or in connection with, or relating to, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the formation, applicability, breach, termination or validity thereof, shall be finally settled exclusively by arbitration in accordance with the Rules of

Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”) in effect at the time of the arbitration, except as they may be modified herein or by mutual agreement of the parties. The arbitration shall be conducted by three arbitrators (the “Arbitral Tribunal”). The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language and the seat of the arbitration shall be Hong Kong SAR, China.

29.3

The party or parties initiating arbitration (the “Claimant(s)”) shall nominate an arbitrator in its (their) request for arbitration (the “Arbitration Request”). The party or parties named as Respondent(s) in the Arbitration Request (the “Respondent(s)”) shall nominate an arbitrator within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Arbitration Request and shall notify the Claimant(s) of such nomination in writing. If within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Arbitration Request by the Respondent(s), the Respondent(s) has (have) not nominated an arbitrator, then the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC Court”) shall appoint an arbitrator on behalf of the Respondent(s). The first two arbitrators nominated by the parties or appointed by the ICC Court in accordance with the above shall nominate a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days of the confirmation by the ICC Court (or appointment in accordance with the above) of the arbitrator nominated/appointed on behalf of the Respondent(s). When the third arbitrator has accepted the nomination, the other two arbitrators shall promptly notify the parties of the nomination. If the first two arbitrators nominated/appointed fail to nominate a third arbitrator within the thirty (30) days referred to above, the ICC Court shall appoint the third arbitrator and shall promptly notify the parties of the appointment. The third arbitrator shall act as chair of the Arbitral Tribunal. Each arbitrator shall be qualified to practice law under the Laws of the State of New York. An arbitrator shall be deemed to have met these qualifications unless any party objects within fifteen (15) days.

29.4

The parties agree that any Award by the Arbitral Tribunal on interim measures shall be fully enforceable as such and an application for interim measures to a court of competent jurisdiction by any party to the arbitration shall not be deemed incompatible with, or a waiver of, the agreement to arbitrate set out in this clause 29.

29.5

In order to facilitate the comprehensive resolution of related disputes and to avoid inconsistent decisions in related disputes, upon request of any party to an arbitration proceeding commenced pursuant to this clause 29, any dispute, controversy or claim subsequently noticed for arbitration under the provisions of this clause may be consolidated with the earlier-commenced arbitration proceeding, as determined within the discretion of the Arbitral Tribunal appointed in the first-commenced arbitration proceeding. The Arbitral Tribunal must not consolidate such arbitrations unless the Arbitral Tribunal determines that (i) there are issues of fact or law common to the proceedings, so that a consolidated

proceeding would be more efficient than separate proceedings, and (ii) no party hereto would be prejudiced as a result of such consolidation through undue delay, conflict of interest or otherwise. If the Arbitral Tribunal and any arbitration tribunal appointed in a subsequent arbitration proceeding disagree as to whether their respective arbitrations should be consolidated there shall be no consolidation.

29.6

Subject to clause 15.3, the parties, the ICC Court, any arbitrator, and their agents or representatives, shall keep confidential and not disclose to any non-party the existence of the arbitration, non-public materials and information provided in the arbitration by another party, and orders or awards made in the arbitration (together, the “Confidential Information”). If a party or an arbitrator wishes to involve in the arbitration a non-party – including a fact or expert witness, stenographer, translator or any other person – the party or arbitrator shall make reasonable efforts to secure the non-party’s advance agreement to preserve the confidentiality of the Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent necessary to: (i) prosecute or defend the arbitration or proceedings related to it (including enforcement or annulment proceedings), or to pursue a legal right; (ii) respond to a compulsory order or request for information of a governmental or regulatory body; (iii) make disclosure required by law or by the rules of a securities exchange; (iv) seek legal, accounting or other professional services, or satisfy information requests of potential acquirers, investors or lenders, provided that in each case of any disclosure allowed under the foregoing circumstances (i) through (iv), where possible, the producing party takes reasonable measures to ensure that the recipient preserves the confidentiality of the information provided. The Arbitral Tribunal may permit further disclosure of Confidential Information where there is a demonstrated need to disclose that outweighs any party’s legitimate interest in preserving confidentiality. This confidentiality provision survives termination of this Agreement and of any arbitration brought pursuant to this Agreement. This confidentiality provision may be enforced by an arbitral tribunal or any court of competent jurisdiction, and an application to a court to enforce this provision shall not waive or in any way derogate from the agreement to arbitrate set out in this clause 29.

29.7

Solely in respect of any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or in connection with the refusal by either party to effect any Completion including taking actions required hereunder before such Completion, and notwithstanding any other provision of this clause 29, the following provisions shall apply:

(a)

the arbitration shall be conducted in an expedited manner. There shall be one round of pre-hearing submissions by each party, whether simultaneous or sequential as directed by the Arbitral Tribunal, and no reply or rejoinder

submissions shall be made unless the Arbitral Tribunal expressly so authorizes. The arbitration hearing shall be held within four months of the constitution of the Arbitral Tribunal and shall continue, to the extent practicable, from Business Day to Business Day until completed. There shall be no post-hearing submissions except as directed by the Arbitral Tribunal, and before ordering such submissions, the Arbitral Tribunal shall identify for the parties, on the basis of its assessment of the case as of that time, the specific issues or matters it believes should be addressed. The Arbitral Tribunal shall endeavor to render its Award within six weeks of the last day of the arbitration hearing. The Arbitral Tribunal may modify the provisions of this clause 29.7 for good cause shown. Failure to comply with any time period set out in this clause 29.7 shall not affect in any way the jurisdiction of the Arbitral Tribunal or the validity of its Award;

(b)

any request for production of documents or other information shall be subject to the express authorization of the Arbitral Tribunal, which shall endeavor to ensure that any such requests are as limited and disciplined as is consistent with the just resolution of the dispute, controversy or claim. The parties expressly waive any right to seek evidence under section 1782 of title 28 of the U.S. Code or any other provision contained in the arbitration or other procedural rules or Laws of any jurisdiction. A party may request, and the Arbitral Tribunal should authorize, production only of specific documents or narrow and specific categories of documents that are critical to the fair presentation of a party’s case and reasonably believed to exist and be in the possession, custody or control of the other party; and

(c)

the Arbitral Tribunal shall have power to make any Award that it deems just and appropriate, including specific performance or injunctive relief.

29.8	If there is any dispute as to whether a dispute, controversy or claim is subject to arbitration, the Arbitral Tribunal shall have jurisdiction to decide the same.

29.9

The agreement to arbitrate under this clause 29 shall be specifically enforceable. Any Award rendered by the Arbitral Tribunal shall be in writing and shall be final and binding upon the parties, and may include an award of costs, including reasonable legal fees and disbursements, to the prevailing party. The parties undertake to carry out any Award without delay and waive their right to any form of recourse based on grounds other than those contained in the United Nations Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards of 1958 insofar as such waiver can validly be made. Judgment upon any Award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant party or its assets and, to the maximum extent

permitted by Law, the parties agree that any court of competent jurisdiction in which enforcement of the Award is sought shall have power to enforce the relief awarded by the Arbitral Tribunal, regardless of whether such relief is characterized as legal, equitable or otherwise.

EXHIBIT A

Stockholders’ Agreement Term Sheet

119

STOCKHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT TERM SHEET

This term sheet, whether or not agreed, is not intended to, and shall not, create or reflect any binding contract or other form of legal relation between the Seller (the “Minority Stockholder”) and the Purchaser (the “Majority Stockholder”) or any of the consortium members.

Defined terms in this term sheet have the meaning given to them in the draft SPA (unless otherwise stated).


Transaction Structure		This term sheet outlines the principal equity terms which will apply, assuming that the Majority Stockholder acquires 80.1% of the common stock of the Company and the Minority Stockholder retains an economic interest of 19.1% of the common stock of the Company, in each case, before giving effect to dilution from management equity issuances as provided in the Management Equity Term Sheet. These terms would be documented in a definitive stockholders’ agreement in relation to the Company (the “Stockholders’ Agreement”) among the Minority Stockholder, the Majority Stockholder and the Company, the key terms of which will be agreed prior to the Signing Date.

Management Equity; Employee Stock Ownership Plan		To conform to Management Equity Term Sheet.

Governance		The Company will be managed by a board of directors, a majority of whom will be independent. If the Option is not exercised, the Minority Stockholder will be entitled to appoint 2 directors, one of whom will be Robert Benmosche, and Mr. Benmosche’s successor and the other director will be a senior executive of the Minority Stockholder or otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Majority Stockholder; provided that the Minority Stockholder will lose the right to appoint 1 board seat right if it sells more than 50% of its original stake and the Minority Stockholder will lose the right to appoint all of its board members if it sells more than 75% of its original stake. The CEO of the Company will also be appointed to the Board. The Majority Stockholder will be entitled to appoint all remaining directors (including the independent directors). If the Option is exercised and the Subsequent Completion occurs, the Minority Stockholder will be entitled to appoint 1 director, who will be Robert Benmosche or any successor who is a senior executive of


		the Minority Stockholder or otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Majority Stockholder; provided that the Minority Stockholder will lose such right if it sells more than 50% of its original stake. The CEO of the Company will also be appointed to the Board. For this purpose independence means that the director has no material relationship with the Company, the Majority Stockholder or any Majority Stockholder consortium member. No Related Party Transaction may be entered into unless prior written notice thereof shall have been provided to the Minority Stockholder. “Related Party Transaction” means a material transaction between a Company Group Member and (i) the Majority Stockholder or any Majority Stockholder consortium member or (ii) any affiliate of any Majority Stockholder consortium member or (iii) any director or officer of any such person.

Reserved Matters		The matters set out in the appendix will be reserved matters. No reserved matter may be undertaken unless it is approved by a supermajority resolution of the stockholders. A supermajority resolution will only be passed if the Minority Stockholder votes in favor of it.

Pre-emption		Customary pre-emption rights will apply to any issue of shares by any Company Group Member with customary exceptions.

Right of First Offer		Before offering shares to a third party, the Minority Stockholder will provide the Majority Stockholder with a right of first offer (and not a right of first refusal), on customary terms to be agreed. The Majority Stockholder and the Company will be required to assist in this sale process, including by permitting disclosure of Company information to potential third party purchasers, assisting with management meetings, etc. (subject to entry into appropriate non-disclosure agreements).

Tag-Along Rights; Drag-Along Rights		The Minority Stockholder and its transferees will have tag rights on a pro rata basis enabling it to participate in a sale in the event that the Majority Stockholder sells any of its shares in the Company to a third party purchaser. If the Majority Stockholder no longer directly or indirectly holds at least 50% of the shares of the Company, the tag right will operate so as to enable the Minority Stockholder to dispose of the entirety of its Shares in such a transaction; thereafter the other stockholders (including transferees) will be entitled to dispose of a pro rata number of their Shares. The Majority Stockholder will have drag rights enabling it to require the other stockholders to participate in a bona fide sale to a third party in the event that the Majority Stockholder sells control of the Company for cash. The drag right will operate so as to require the Minority Stockholder to dispose of the entirety of its Shares on such a transaction; thereafter the other stockholders (including transferees) will be required to dispose of a pro rata number of their Shares.


IPO, Registration Rights		The Minority Stockholder will have (i) a customary demand right (following an IPO) and (ii) the right to demand an IPO (or an underwritten placement) in the United States, London or New York (as selected by the Majority Stockholder) at any time after May 15, 2017. The Minority Stockholder will have priority to sell in an IPO (i.e. any cutbacks as between the Majority Stockholder and the Minority Stockholder will first apply to the Majority Stockholder). The Majority Stockholder will have a preemptive right to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Shares of the Minority Stockholder at fair market value for a specified time period after the Company receives a demand notice for an IPO from the Minority Stockholder. All stockholders (including transferees) will have piggyback registration rights in relation to any IPO.

Terms of Sale by Minority Stockholder		The Minority Stockholder will not be required to make any representations or warranties (other than in respect of title to the shares) in connection with the exercise of the right of first offer, tag or drag right or the put right.

Transfer of Shares		Parties to agree upon transfer restrictions and tag and other rights to apply in connection with certain transfers of interests in the Majority Stockholder by the consortium members.

Non-compete; Non-solicit		TBD

Compliance		The Stockholders’ Agreement will contain covenants requiring the parties to comply with applicable law and regulation, including undertakings in relation to compliance with anti-money laundering regulations, anti-corruption and anti-bribery legislation, OFAC and an agreed anti-corruption corporate policy. If the Option is not exercised, the Majority Stockholder will covenant that it will cause the Company to remain a registrant with the SEC until the earlier of (i) the sale of more than 50% of the Minority Stockholder’s original stake or (ii) May 15, 2017.

Information and Audit Rights		The Minority Stockholder will be entitled to receive (on a confidential basis) such management information about the Company Group Members as it may reasonably request from time to time, including monthly management accounts and consolidated quarterly results prepared in accordance with US GAAP. Minority Stockholder will have the right to initiate an audit of the Company Group in circumstances specified in the Stockholders’ Agreement.


Governing Law		New York law

Disputes		Disputes arising under the SPA, Stockholders’ Agreement and related agreements will be resolved by arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted under the rules of ICC in Hong Kong and in the English language.

Other Provisions		The Stockholders’ Agreement will, inter alia, provide for provisions pertaining to indemnity and insurance, exculpation, breach of representations and warranties, tax matters, confidentiality and other customary terms. The Minority Stockholder will also have the benefit of any more favorable terms provided to any consortium member in the Majority Stockholding holding an equivalent stake.
