Step Three: Termination of Split-Dollar Agreements
Because AIF IV's business operations ceased in 2007, the split-dollar agreements between it and the Leon D.
Black 1999 Life Insurance Trust #1 ("Trust #1") and Trust #2 ("Trust #2") terminated at that time. AIV IV
continued to honor the agreements but had the right at any time to take ownership of the policies from Trust
#1 and Trust #2. AIF IV now exercises that right.
