ARTICLE III
FINANCIAL COMMITMENT; STATUS OF SHARES

Section 3.1 Agreement to Purchase Shares.

(a) Subject to the terms, limitations and conditions of this Agreement, the Investor hereby commits to purchase an aggregate number of Shares equal to the number set forth on Schedule A opposite the heading “Total Shares” at the Purchase Price by payment for the Initial Shares at the Closing plus such Capital Call amounts specified by the Company from time to time pursuant to Call Notices during the Commitment Period in respect of Future Shares; provided, that in no event shall (i) the aggregate Purchase Price payable for the Class B-1 common shares to be purchased by the Investor hereunder exceed the amount set forth on Schedule A opposite the heading “Total B-1 Commitment” (such amount, the Investor’s “Total B-1 Commitment”) and (ii) the aggregate Purchase Price payable for the Total Shares to be purchased by the Investor hereunder exceed the amount set forth on Schedule A opposite the heading “Total Commitment” (such amount, the Investor’s “Total Commitment”). The “Remaining B-1 Commitment” means, at any time, an amount equal to the Investor’s Total B-1 Commitment at such time reduced by the sum of: (i) the Closing B-1 Payment Amount paid by the Investor and (ii) the amount of the aggregate Purchase Price paid by the Investor in relation to the Capital Calls delivered by the Company to the Investor pursuant to and subject to the terms of this Section 3.1. During the Commitment Period, upon fifteen (15) business days’ prior written notice from the Company, substantially in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto (each, a “Call Notice”), delivered after approval of the Board or the executive committee of the Board (the “Executive Committee”) for such Capital Call has been obtained (unless the Investor has waived such fifteen (15) business-day period in writing or by funding such Capital Call as set forth in the Call Notice), the Company may require (subject, in each case, to the terms, limitations and conditions of this Agreement and the Shareholders Agreement) the Investor to fund all or part of its Remaining B-1 Commitment as specified in such Call Notice (each, a “Capital Call”). The amount called from the Investor pursuant to a Capital Call may not exceed the Investor’s Remaining B-1 Commitment as of the date of the Call Notice to which such Capital Call relates, and in no

– 5 –

AGER BERMUDA HOLDING LTD. – SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

event shall the (i) Investor’s aggregate Purchase Price paid for the Shares exceed the Investor’s Total Commitment and (ii) Investor’s aggregate Purchase Price paid for the Class B-1 common shares exceed the Investor’s Total B-1 Commitment. For purposes of this Agreement, “business day” shall mean any day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New York or Bermuda are authorized or required by law to close.

(b) All Capital Calls shall be approved by a majority of the Executive Committee or the Board present at any duly convened meeting (or by a written consent signed by all of the members of the Executive Committee or the Board). The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to manage the number of Capital Calls from the Investor in such a manner so that no more than three (3) Capital Calls are made during a particular calendar quarter; provided, however, that notwithstanding such efforts, Capital Calls may occur as often as the Company deems necessary but shall be made only during the Commitment Period. All Capital Calls shall be made on a proportionate basis to all persons with outstanding capital commitments to the Company on the basis of all such remaining capital commitments; provided, that the Company may issue Capital Calls on a non-proportionate basis with respect to (i) any call for capital contributions made by the Company to any directors, officers or employees of the Company, Athene Holding Ltd., Apollo Global Management, LLC or Apollo Asset Management Europe LLP, or of any Subsidiary (as defined below) of any of the foregoing, pursuant to any Management Incentive Plan (as defined in the Shareholders Agreement) and (ii) Capital Calls in an aggregate amount per annum not to exceed 1% of the total remaining capital commitments of all such persons identified in clause (i). In addition, Capital Calls shall not be issued to Athene Holding Ltd. until such time as Athene Holding Ltd. would not own more Shares than its pro rata interest based on the amount of the total commitment of all investors, including Athene Holding Ltd.

(c) Each Capital Call for funding shall be accompanied by a Call Notice and shall specify in reasonable detail the purpose of the capital contributions to which such Capital Call relates and shall specify the number of Shares to be acquired by the Investor. The Investor shall not have the right to decline to purchase the Shares described in such Capital Call if such Capital Call has been made in accordance with this Agreement, except as provided in Section 3.5 hereof; provided, however, that the requirements of Section 3.1(f) are satisfied on the applicable Contribution Date.

(d) Each Call Notice shall set forth the date on which the purchase and sale of Shares shall take place pursuant to such Capital Call (the “Contribution Date”), which date shall be no earlier than the fifteenth (15^th) business day following the date of the Call Notice (unless the Investor has waived such fifteen (15) business-day period in writing or by funding such Capital Call as set forth in the Call Notice).

(e) If requested to do so prior to the designated Contribution Date with respect to a Capital Call, the Company shall delay the Contribution Date with respect to the Investor until the expiration or termination of governmentally imposed waiting periods and the obtaining of governmental approvals, if any, to allow the Company to make one or more required governmental filings or obtain one or more required governmental approvals and to allow the Investor that reasonably believes, based on the advice of counsel, that the Investor must make or obtain any such filings or approvals, to make and obtain such filings and approvals, in connection with such Capital Call (provided, that the Investor and the Company shall use their commercially reasonable efforts

– 6 –

AGER BERMUDA HOLDING LTD. – SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

to take such actions, including executing and delivering such additional instruments, agreements or documents, that are determined to be necessary, reasonably requested, advisable or desired to make each such required governmental filing and seek each such required governmental approval as promptly as possible).

(f) On each Contribution Date and subject to the provisions of Section 3.1(a), (i) the Investor shall acquire the number of Shares specified in the Call Notice and shall make payment therefor by wire transfer to a bank account designated by the Company or by such other payments as is mutually agreed to by the Investor and the Company and (ii) the Company shall update the Register of Shareholders to reflect such purchase of such Shares and, solely upon the written request of the Investor, the Company will deliver to the Investor a certificate representing the Shares that the Investor is purchasing, or has purchased, pursuant to such Capital Call.

(g) Subject to Section 9.3 hereof, the Investor shall have the right to transfer its Shares and its Remaining B-1 Commitment solely in accordance with the Shareholders Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Investor, as applicable, shall have the right to transfer its Total Commitment for estate planning purposes to any corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership or trust created for the benefit of the Investor or one or more of the Investor’s parents, spouse, siblings or descendants; provided, that the Investor must retain exclusive voting control over the transferred Total Commitment. Such a transfer shall be a “Permitted Transfer” as defined in the Shareholders Agreement. If the Investor transfers its Total Commitment in the manner described above prior to the delivery of the initial Call Notice to such Investor, the Company shall deliver the initial Call Notice to the transferee of such Investor in the manner described in Section 3.1(a).

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall have the sole discretion and authority to take all actions necessary or required to reduce the Investor’s Total Commitment, other than with respect to the Initial Shares, to the extent such Total Commitment would create any adverse regulatory or tax consequences, including not receiving the Required Regulatory Approvals, for the Company or any shareholder or potential shareholder of the Company.

Section 3.2 Commitment Period. The “Commitment Period” shall mean the time period commencing on the Closing and continuing until the earlier of (i) the date on which the Remaining B-1 Commitment of the Investor is zero and (ii) the date that is the five (5) year anniversary of the Subscription Closing.

Section 3.3 Repurchase of Shares. To the extent that (i) the Company does not make any draws on capital during the Commitment Period, other than in connection with the purchase of the Initial Shares or (ii) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(b) (each a “Subscription Termination”), the Company shall, within fifteen (15) business days after the occurrence of a Subscription Termination, repurchase all of the Investor’s Shares. The Company shall repurchase, and the Investor agrees to sell, the Shares in exchange for a payment to the Investor in an amount equal to (i) the amount paid for the Initial Shares, plus (ii) interest on such amount, determined from the Closing Date to the date of repurchase, at a rate equal to the three-month London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR), determined as of the Closing Date and reset each three-month period thereafter, as reported in The Wall Street Journal or any successor selected by the Company.

Section 3.4 No Commitment for Additional Financing.

In addition, the Company acknowledges and agrees that (a) no statements, whether written or oral, made by the Investor or its representatives before, on or after the date hereof shall create an obligation, commitment or agreement to provide or assist the Company in obtaining any financing or investment, (b) the Company shall not rely on any such statement by the Investor or its representatives and (c) an obligation, commitment or agreement to provide or assist the Company in obtaining any financing or investment may only be created by a written agreement, signed by the Investor and the Company, setting forth the terms and conditions of such financing or investment and stating that the parties intend for such writing to be a binding obligation or agreement. The Investor shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to refuse or decline to participate in any other financing of or investment in the Company (other than with respect to the Total Commitment as set forth in this Agreement), and shall have no obligation to assist or cooperate with the Company in obtaining any financing, investment or other assistance (other than with respect to the Total Commitment as set forth in this Agreement).

Section 3.5 Default by Investor.

(a) An “Investor Event of Default” shall be deemed to have occurred if (i) the Investor or any of its permitted assigns (such Person, a “Defaulting Investor”) fails or refuses to make payment on the Contribution Date in respect of its complete portion of any Capital Call validly made, and (ii) such default has continued in whole or in part for not less than ten (10) business days after the receipt of written notice by the Defaulting Investor from the Company that a period of at least five (5) business days has elapsed since the Contribution Date and the Defaulting Investor has, as of the date of such notice, failed to fund its portion of such duly and validly authorized Capital Call.

(b) Upon an Investor Event of Default, the Company may, at its option, undertake any of the following: (i) institute suit against the Defaulting Investor for the Defaulting Investor’s defaulted portion of the Capital Call precipitating such Investor Event of Default, as well as (A) interest on past due amounts at a rate equal to the lesser of (I) the maximum amount permitted by applicable law and (II) the Prime Rate (as determined by XX Xxxxxx Xxxxx Bank in New York, New York or any successor thereto) plus two percent (2%) per annum, until the defaulted portion of the Capital Call is received by the Company and (B) reasonable costs and expenses of the Company in connection with such Investor Event of Default, (ii) automatically remove and terminate, without the consent of the Defaulting Investor, the Defaulting Investor’s Preemptive Rights (if any), under Section 2.4 of the Shareholders Agreement and/or (iii) require the Investor to forfeit a fraction of its funded interest in the Company equal to the lesser of (A) all Shares previously acquired by such Defaulting Investor under this Agreement and (B) one-third of such Defaulting Investor’s Total Shares (the “Defaulted Shares”). In addition, the Company may pursue any other rights and remedies available to the Company at law or equity. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to implement clause (iii) of this Section 3.5(b) in a manner so as to avoid causing a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” as defined in Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income

In this regard:

(a) The Investor acknowledges that, in order to comply with the provisions of the AEOI Regimes and avoid the imposition of U.S. federal withholding tax, the Board may, from time to time and to the extent provided under the AEOI Regimes, (i) require further information and/or documentation from the Investor, which information and/or documentation may (A) include, but is not limited to, information and/or documentation relating to or concerning the Investor, the Investor’s direct and indirect beneficial owners (if any), and any such Person’s identity, residence (or jurisdiction of formation) and income tax status, and (B) need to be certified by the Investor under penalties of perjury, and (ii) provide or disclose any such information and documentation to governmental agencies of the United States or other jurisdictions (including the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”)) and Persons from or through which the Company or any Company Subsidiary may receive payments or with which the Company or any Company Subsidiary may have an account (within the meaning of the AEOI Regimes).

(b) The Investor agrees that it shall provide such information and/or documentation concerning itself and its direct and indirect beneficial owners (if any), as and when requested by the Board, as the Board, in its sole discretion, determines is necessary or advisable for the Company to comply with its obligations under the AEOI Regimes, including, but not limited to, in connection with the Company or any of its affiliates entering into or amending or modifying an “FFI Agreement,” as defined under the AEOI Regimes (each, an “FFI Agreement”), with the IRS and maintaining ongoing compliance with such agreement. The Investor should consult its tax advisors as to the type of information that may be required from the Investor under this Section 6.7.

(c) Consistent with the AEOI Regimes, the Investor agrees to waive any provision of law of any jurisdiction that would, absent a waiver, prevent the Company’s compliance with its obligations under the AEOI Regimes, including under any FFI Agreement, and hereby consents to the disclosure by the Company or any Company Subsidiary of any information regarding the Investor (including information regarding its direct and indirect beneficial owners, if any) as the Company or any Company Subsidiary determines is necessary or advisable to comply with the AEOI Regimes (including the terms of any FFI Agreement).

(d) Unless otherwise agreed by the Board, to the extent that the Company or any affiliate thereof suffers any withholding taxes, interest, penalties or other expenses or costs on account of the Investor’s failure to timely provide and/or update the requested information and/or

– 22 –

AGER BERMUDA HOLDING LTD. – SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

documentation or waiver, as applicable (an “AEOI Compliance Failure”), (i) the Investor shall promptly pay upon demand by the Board to the Company or, at the Board’s direction, to the relevant affiliate, an amount equal to such withholding taxes, interest, penalties and other expenses and costs, or (ii) the Board may reduce the amount of the next distribution or distributions which would otherwise have been made to the Investor or, if such distributions are not sufficient for that purpose, reduce the proceeds of liquidation otherwise payable to the Investor by an amount equal to such withholding taxes, interest, penalties and other expenses and costs; provided, that (A) if the amount of the next succeeding distribution or distributions or proceeds of liquidation is reduced, such amount shall include an amount to cover interest on the amount of such withholding taxes, interest, penalties and other expenses and costs at the lesser of (1) the rate of two percent (2%) per annum over the rate of interest announced publicly from time to time by JPMorgan Chase Bank in New York, New York as such bank’s prime rate, and (2) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, and (B) should the Board elect to so reduce such distributions or proceeds, the Board shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Investor of its intention to do so. Whenever the Board makes any such reduction of the proceeds payable to the Investor pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, for all other purposes the Investor may be treated as having received all distributions (whether before or upon liquidation) unreduced by the amount of such reduction. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Board in writing, the Investor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates from and against any withholding taxes, interest, penalties or other expenses or costs with respect to the Investor’s AEOI Compliance Failure.

(e) The Investor acknowledges that the Board (or the applicable affiliate of the Company) will determine in its sole discretion how to comply with the AEOI Regimes.

SUMMARY OF ADDITIONAL TERMS FOR INVESTMENT

BY INVESTOR A

We refer to the “AGER Bermuda Holding Ltd. Summary of Terms of Proposed Private Offering And Principal Transaction Documents” posted in the Intralinks data room (the “Data Room”) for Project Craft (the “AGER Term Sheet”). This summary of additional terms (this “Term Sheet”) is based on the AGER Term Sheet and sets out certain additional terms with respect to a potential investment by the Investor A in AGER Bermuda Holding Ltd. (“AGER”). Capitalized terms used in this Term Sheet shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the AGER Term Sheet, unless otherwise defined herein.

This Term Sheet is intended for discussion purposes only and does not bind Investor A, Athene Holding Ltd. (“AHL”), AGER or any other person in any way. The transaction described in this Term Sheet (the “Proposed Transaction”) is subject to signing of the final and binding contracts by the applicable parties thereto.

The existence of and the terms contained in this Term Sheet as well as any discussions regarding the Proposed Transaction are subject to the Confidentiality Agreements entered into between AGER and its Affiliates (as defined therein) and each investor in AGER, including the Investor A, and shall be kept strictly confidential by all parties except to the extent permitted by the Confidentiality Agreements.

The Investor A investment	§   EUR 250 million §   Investment shall be made alongside third party investors in Class A common shares. § Voting cap of 9.9% for Class A common shares. § After the expiration of the Commitment Draw Period, Investor A has the right to require AGER to acquire all of Investor A’s shares in AGER for a total purchase price of EUR 1.00.

AGER BERMUDA HOLDING LTD. – SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

Representation on AGER board committees	¤   The Director nominated by Investor A shall (i) be a member of the Transaction Committee and (ii) have observer status on the Conflicts Committee.
Profits Interest on the Investor A investment	¤   Apollo and/or AHL, as applicable, shall fully waive the Profits Interest with respect to Investor A’s investment in AGER, i.e. Investor A will participate in the Profits Interest pro rata to its initial investment in AGER Equity.
Profits Interest on third parties’ investment	§   In addition to Apollo and/or AHL, as applicable, fully waiving the Profits Interest with respect to Investor A’s investment, Apollo shall share with Investor A 12.5% of the remaining Profits Interest on the investment of third parties, i.e. after the make-whole of Apollo, AHL and Investor A. §   In calculating the remaining Profits Interest, only the make-whole of Apollo, AHL and Investor A shall be considered and any make-whole granted to other third party investors shall not reduce Investor A’s 12.5% share.

AGER BERMUDA HOLDING LTD. – SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

Right of first offer for asset management mandates §   For as long as Investor A holds 7.5% or more of the AGER Equity, and subject to the other limitations set forth below, AGER/AAME shall offer Investor A a right of first offer for all sub-advisory asset management mandates under the IAA with respect to Approved Investment Classes (as defined below) (“Asset Management ROFO”). §   An “Approved Investment Class” shall mean investment-grade fixed income securities, asset classes that Apollo, AAM or AAME are not managing and any other asset class that AGER, AAME and Investor A may agree upon from time to time. §   Any engagement of Investor A is subject to Investor A providing competitive services and fees. Fees for any engagement must be approved by the Conflicts Committee. §   With respect to any asset management mandate to which the Asset Management ROFO applies, and for which Investor A has declined to provide services or is not selected to provide services, Investor A shall have the right to match the terms of the most competitive bidder for up to 50% of such asset management mandate, provided that the assets under management subject to such mandate are not less than EUR 200 million and the selection of Investor A for such asset management mandate shall be subject to the terms of the preceding paragraph. §   Best efforts to work with the ALV board to transfer any already existing Investment Grade mandates to an investment manager affiliate of Investor A within 6 months after the effective date of the agreement between AGER/AAME and Investor A. § AGER/AAME shall have the right to withdraw the mandate if Investor A’s performance is in the lowest quartile of a peer group (to be further defined) for more than 12 consecutive months and remediation measures did not succeed

AGER BERMUDA HOLDING LTD. – SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

Preferred transaction involvement of Investor A §   AGER, Apollo and Investor A shall enter into an agreement governing the “Preferred Transaction Involvement” of the parties as described below, which will apply for so long as Investor A holds 7.5% or more of the AGER Equity. §   Investor A has an interest in the acquisition of property and casualty (“P&C”) businesses as well as P&C and life/health distribution, whereas AGER will primarily target life insurance books of businesses. §   The Preferred Transaction Involvement shall relate to acquisitions (whether of a company or a block of business) by AGER in the member states of the European Union (excluding the U.K.) and Switzerland (each a “Potential AGER Transaction”). §   Regular (at least quarterly) update meetings will be held with Investor A by AGER to share and discuss Potential AGER Acquisition opportunities with Investor A. § AGER shall inform and provide timely details to Investor A of any planned acquisitions that fall within the Preferred Transaction Involvement. §   In connection with any Potential AGER Acquisition, AGER will be precluded from partnering with a third party (including any Apollo Fund entity) unless AGER has provided Investor A with the exclusive opportunity to discuss, and to agree on terms for, partnering with AGER on the Potential AGER Acquisition. However, AGER is free to speak to and pursue the Potential AGER Acquisition with a third party (including any Apollo Fund entity) or alone, if a combined approach is not pursued because: (i) Investor A has declined such opportunity affirmatively; or (ii) AGER and Investor A have not agreed on terms for the Potential AGER Acquisition within a reasonable period of time. §   In case AGER and Investor A agree to jointly approach a potential M&A target within the scope of the Preferred Transaction Involvement, AGER and Investor A agree to the following procedure: o Both AGER and Investor A shall value separately the part of the target business each party plans to acquire; the sum-of-parts of AGER’s valuation and Investor A’s valuation will then form the maximum total price to be offered for the target business o Investor A is not obliged to front any transaction for AGER. §   The Preferred Transaction Involvement will restrict Apollo from setting up or acquiring any alternative life insurance acquisition vehicle for transacting business in the member states of the European Union (including the U.K.) and Switzerland besides AGER and AHL; provided that Apollo shall remain free to (i) remain invested in Apollo’s existing insurance businesses as long as they do not compete with AGER, and (ii) acquire or invest in targets that do not pursue essentially the same business model as AGER by operating predominantly as run-off life and annuity insurance businesses. §   In case the combined approach will not be pursued by AGER and Investor A with respect to a Potential AGER Acquisition, both AGER and Investor A are free to speak to other potential partners or to bid alone. §   All discussions and negotiations shall be in good faith of a long-term partnership; it is the parties’ understanding that the commitments under the Preferred Transaction Involvement shall not be circumvented in any way, for instance by activities of related parties. §   Subject to the restrictions above, the Preferred Transaction Involvement will not limit or otherwise apply to Apollo. § Investor A shall be under no obligation to share, comment on, or provide any details regarding, any planned or potential acquisition or disposal by Investor A. Investor A shall at all times remain free to acquire or dispose of any company without having to inform AGER or Apollo. However, in the good faith of a long-term partnership, Investor A will, at its own full discretion, reach out to AGER in case they intend to sell a company or block of business that may be of interest for AGER to acquire.

AGER BERMUDA HOLDING LTD. – SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

Right of first offer for mortality risk	§ For as long as Investor A holds 7.5% or more of the AGER Equity, AGER shall offer Investor A a right of first offer for at least 40% of any mortality risk that AGER chooses to sell or reinsure to a third-party (“Mortality ROFO”) with the understanding that AGER will offer an equivalent right of first offer for the other 60% of any mortality risk to Investor B. § If Investor B declines the offered mortality risk, the Mortality ROFO for Investor A shall extend to 100% of AGER’s mortality risk to be sold or reinsured. § With respect to any mortality risk to which the Mortality ROFO applies, and which Investor A has declined to acquire or reinsure or which Investor A is not selected to acquire or reinsure, Investor A shall have the right to match the terms of the most competitive bidder for up to 50% of the mortality risk to which the Mortality ROFO applied (i.e. 50% of 40% = 20%, or 50% of 100%, as the case may be).
Exchange of knowledge	¤   As part of a long-term partnership, AGER and Investor A will cooperate closely by exchanging knowledge and ideas on life back-book management and identifying further areas of collaboration.
Exclusivity	§   AGER will not place more than 1% of the AGER Equity to any insurance company, other than Investor A, Investor B and AHL without prior alignment with Investor A. §   The Asset Management ROFO and the Preferred Transaction Involvement are granted exclusively to Investor X.
