AIG RECAPITALIZATION
Summary of Terms of September 30, 2010
     
Transaction Overview
  As more fully described below, American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”), the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“FRBNY”), the United States Department of the Treasury (“UST”) and the AIG Credit Facility Trust (“Trust”) propose to enter into a series of integrated transactions (collectively, the “Recapitalization”),1 that would result in, among other things, the following:
    at the closing of the Recapitalization (the “Closing”), the full repayment in cash of all remaining principal, accrued and unpaid interest, fees and other amounts owing, and the termination of all commitments, under the Credit Agreement dated as of September 22, 2008 (the “FRBNY Credit Facility”) between AIG and the FRBNY, funded solely from (i) secured non-recourse loans to AIG from AIA Aurora LLC (the “AIA SPV”) and ALICO Holdings LLC (the “ALICO SPV”, and together with the AIA SPV, the “SPVs”) of the net cash proceeds from the initial public offering of American International Assurance Company, Limited (“AIA”) and the sale of American Life Insurance Company (“ALICO”) and (ii) the “excess” cash made available by AIG and its subsidiaries for repayment of the FRBNY Credit Facility at the Closing as described below;
 
    at the Closing, the amendment and restatement of the Securities Purchase Agreement (as amended and restated, the “SPA”) relating to AIG’s Series F Fixed Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series F Preferred Stock”) to exchange a portion of AIG’s remaining right to draw up to $22.3 billion (the “Series F Drawdown Right”), in an amount to be designated by AIG prior to the Closing that shall not exceed $2 billion, for the right of AIG to draw up to such designated amount (the “Series G Designated Amount”) after the Closing for general corporate purposes (the “Series G Drawdown Right”);
 
    AIG drawing at the Closing an amount up to the amount remaining undrawn pursuant to the Series F Drawdown Right subject to the limitations set forth herein;
 
    the purchase by AIG at the Closing of AIA Preferred Interests and ALICO Preferred Interests from the FRBNY having an aggregate liquidation preference equal to the amount drawn at the Closing pursuant to the Series F Drawdown Right;
 
    the exchange by the UST of the Series F Preferred Stock (including amounts drawn at the Closing) for:
    all of the AIA Preferred Interests and ALICO Preferred Interests purchased from the FRBNY;
 
1   It is understood and agreed among all parties to the Recapitalization that the components of the Recapitalization constitute a single, integrated, non-severable transaction.

    approximately 167.6 million shares2 of AIG common stock, par value $2.50 per share (“AIG Common Stock”); and
 
    shares of a new series of preferred stock of AIG designated as the “Series G Cumulative Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock” (the “Series G Preferred Stock”), which will evidence (i) any amounts allocated by AIG to the Series G Drawdown Right to be available to be drawn after the Closing and (ii) any amounts drawn by AIG on the Series F Drawdown Right between announcement and Closing;
    the exchange of AIG’s Series C Perpetual, Convertible, Participating Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”) for approximately 562.9 million shares3 of AIG Common Stock;
 
    the exchange of AIG’s Series E Fixed Rate Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock (the “Series E Preferred Stock”) for approximately 924.5 million shares of AIG Common Stock;
 
    AIG’s issuance after the Closing to the holders of AIG Common Stock prior to the Closing, by means of a dividend, of 10-year warrants to purchase up to 75 million shares of AIG Common Stock in the aggregate at an exercise price of $45.00 per share; and
 
    AIG having the following pro forma capitalization immediately after giving effect to the Recapitalization:
                 
    Outstanding    
    Shares of AIG   Percentage of
    Common Stock   Outstanding

Repayment of FRBNY Credit Facility; Waiver of AIA and ALICO Preferred Distributions
   
 
   
Repayment of FRBNY Credit Facility
  At the Closing, all principal, accrued and unpaid interest, fees and other amounts owing under the FRBNY Credit Facility will be repaid in full solely from (i) the borrowings under the SPV Intercompany Loans described below and (ii) the Excess Cash Proceeds (as defined below) available at the Closing.
 
   
 
  AIG will use commercially reasonable efforts (taking into account market prices and conditions) to raise cash proceeds (the “Excess Cash Proceeds”), in an aggregate amount at least sufficient to repay (when combined with the borrowings under the SPV Intercompany Loans) all remaining amounts owing under the FRBNY Credit Facility.
 
   
 
  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any cash proceeds received in connection with the disposal of any Designated Pledged Asset (or distributions thereon) shall, unless directed in writing by the FRBNY and the UST, be excluded from the definition of “Excess Cash Proceeds”.
 
   
 
  At the Closing, all available undrawn commitments under the FRBNY Credit Facility will be terminated.
 
   
Waiver; Escrow
  As consideration for AIG’s agreement to complete the Recapitalization, the FRBNY, as the holder of the preferred interests in the AIA SPV and ALICO SPV, will waive (the “Waiver”) the right to receive mandatory distributions on such preferred interests until the Closing, with all proceeds subject to the Waiver to be held in segregated escrow accounts with the FRBNY, as agent for the SPVs,6 until the Closing.7 The preferred interests in the AIA SPV and the ALICO SPV are referred to herein as the “AIA Preferred Interests” and “ALICO Preferred Interests”, respectively, and interchangeably as the “AIA/ALICO Preferred Interests”.8
 
   
 
  The Waiver will also provide that, at the Closing, proceeds will be released from escrow and loaned (each, an “SPV Intercompany Loan”) to AIG on the terms described below; provided, however, that if the aggregate amount of the proceeds subject to the Waiver, when combined with the Excess Cash Proceeds, exceeds all amounts owing under the FRBNY Credit Facility, such excess amount shall be distributed in accordance with the terms of the SPVs’ limited liability company agreements.
 
   
 
  Upon the Closing, the Waiver will terminate and thereafter all cash received by each SPV from repayment of the SPV Intercompany Loans, receipt of
 
6   AIG and the FRBNY to agree on arrangements regarding the proceeds held in the escrow accounts.
 
7   The escrow accounts are expected to consist of, in the case of the AIA SPV, the net cash proceeds from the AIA IPO and, in the case of the ALICO SPV, the net cash proceeds from the sale of ALICO to MetLife.
 
8   For purposes of this document, the references to, and the aggregate liquidation preference of, the AIA/ALICO Preferred Interests will include, unless otherwise agreed by the FRBNY, the UST and AIG, the 1% and 5% preferred participating returns held by the FRBNY in the AIA SPV and the ALICO SPV, respectively.

3


 

     
 
  SPV Capital Contributions, disposition of assets or otherwise will be distributed in accordance with the terms of the SPVs’ limited liability company agreements without regard to the Waiver.
 
   
 
  If the Recapitalization is terminated because the End Date (as defined below) occurs (or for any other reason), the Waiver will terminate and be of no further force or effect and all amounts held in escrow at each SPV will be released and distributed in accordance with the terms of the SPVs’ limited liability company agreements without regard to the Waiver.
 
   
SPV Intercompany Loans
  Recourse against AIG under each SPV Intercompany Loan will be limited to the Designated Pledged Assets (other than any liability of AIG resulting from AIG’s intentional and knowing failure to perform its material obligations under the SPV Intercompany Loans and related security documents).
 
   
 
  The following assets of AIG and certain of its subsidiaries (who will become limited recourse guarantors to the extent of the applicable Designated Pledged Assets), along with all proceeds thereof and distribution thereon in each case (subject to exceptions to be agreed, consistent with the limitations on the collateral pledged to secure the FRBNY Credit Facility to the extent applicable, and any additional tax and regulatory considerations and timing constraints) (the “Designated Pledged Assets”) will be pledged to the SPVs to secure each SPV Intercompany Loan:
    the equity interests of Nan Shan Life Insurance Company, Ltd. (“Nan Shan”), AIG Star Life Insurance Co. Ltd (“Star”) and AIG Edison Life Insurance Company (“Edison”);
 
    the equity interests of International Lease Finance Corporation (“ILFC”);
 
    AIG’s and its subsidiaries’ interests in Maiden Lane II LLC and Maiden Lane III LLC and distributions thereon (subject to a commercially reasonable efforts standard taking into account applicable regulatory, tax and capital considerations); and
 
    any contract rights of AIG or any of the limited recourse guarantors under any contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any of the foregoing assets, whether presently effective or entered into after the date of the SPV Intercompany Loans.
     
 
  Notwithstanding anything in the FRBNY Credit Facility to the contrary:
    unless the UST and the FRBNY direct in writing that any cash proceeds received prior to the Closing in connection with the disposal of any Designated Pledged Asset (or distributions thereon) constitute “Excess Cash Proceeds”, such cash proceeds shall not be applied to repay the FRBNY Credit Facility and will instead be applied at the Closing to simultaneously repay a portion of the SPV Intercompany Loans issued at the Closing, with the proceeds of such repayment distributed at the Closing in accordance with the terms of the SPVs’ limited liability company agreements; and
 
    any non-cash proceeds or distributions received in connection therewith

4


 

      will be Designated Pledged Assets.
     
 
  Additionally, each SPV Intercompany Loan will be secured by a pledge of the common equity of the other SPV and guaranteed by such other SPV; provided, however, that, with respect to the AIA SPV, not more than either (i) 66% of the common equity of the AIA SPV will be pledged, or (ii) 66% of the equity interests in AIA Group Limited that are owned by AIA SPV will be subject to the guarantee.
 
   
 
  Notwithstanding that the ALICO SPV is initially responsible for all MetLife indemnification claims and downward purchase price adjustments under the purchase agreement relating to the ALICO sale transaction, AIG will be responsible for funding in cash the amount of each such MetLife indemnification claim and downward purchase price adjustment on a dollar-for-dollar basis when and if paid by the ALICO SPV. If immediate payment in cash of any such amounts would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect AIG’s liquidity, the parties will negotiate in good faith alternative or deferred funding arrangements.
 
   
 
  Each SPV Intercompany Loan will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the “preferred return” on such SPV’s AIA/ALICO Preferred Interests, will have a maturity date of three years after the Closing and will have such other terms, consistent with the terms of the Recapitalization (including events of default) as the parties shall agree.
 
   
 
  AIG and each SPV will have the option to repay, retire or take such other action with respect to the SPV Intercompany Loans as it sees fit once all AIA/ALICO Preferred Interests have been redeemed or acquired by AIG.
 
   
Capital Contribution
Obligations
  If either SPV’s AIA/ALICO Preferred Interests remain outstanding following the repayment in full of the SPV’s SPV Intercompany Loan, AIG will agree to make capital contributions to such SPV (each, an “SPV Capital Contribution”) upon receipt of any proceeds of, or any other distributions on, the Designated Pledged Assets. AIG’s obligations to make the SPV Capital Contributions will be supported by the same guarantees and collateral package as the SPV Intercompany Loans.
 
Additional
Documentation/Payment
Waterfall Security
Agreement
  The collateral arrangements with respect to the Designated Pledged Assets, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the UST, the FRBNY and AIG, will contain customary provisions to protect the interests of the SPVs as secured parties, including the application of the proceeds of the Designated Pledged Assets to the repayment of the SPV Intercompany Loans and any SPV Capital Contributions. This documentation shall provide, among other things, that unless otherwise directed by the holder of the AIA Preferred Interests and the ALICO Preferred Interests, any proceeds or any other distributions received in respect of the Designated Pledged Assets will be allocated pro rata to the AIA SPV and the ALICO SPV based on the relative aggregate outstanding liquidation preferences of the AIA Preferred Interests and ALICO Preferred Interests at that time, either as repayment of the relevant SPV Intercompany Loan or as an SPV Capital Contribution. The holders of the AIA/ALICO Preferred Interests will be party to or third party beneficiaries of the collateral documentation, including the payment waterfall and cross guarantees and AIG’s obligations to make SPV Capital Contributions. If AIG is not the pledgor of a component of the Designated

5


 

     
 
  Pledged Assets, then the pledgor of such component will be a limited recourse guarantor of the SPV Intercompany Loans to the extent of such component. If tax or regulatory issues prevent the pledging of 100% of the equity interests of a Designated Pledged Asset, then in addition to any amount that may be pledged, the pledgor will also pledge any proceeds from the sale of such Designated Pledged Asset.
 
   
Drawdown of Series F Closing Drawdown Amount, Purchase of AIA/ALICO Preferred Interests, Exchange of Series F Preferred Stock and Terms of Series G Preferred Stock
   
 
   
Series F Closing Drawdown Amount
  At the Closing, AIG will draw pursuant to the Series F Drawdown Right an amount (the “Series F Closing Drawdown Amount”) equal to the lesser of (i) the remaining balance undrawn pursuant to the Series F Drawdown Right (less the Series G Designated Amount) and (ii) the aggregate liquidation preference9 of all AIA/ALICO Preferred Interests outstanding at the Closing.
 
   
 
  The Series F Drawdown Right will terminate and be of no further force and effect immediately following the Closing.
 
   
Purchase of AIA/ALICO Preferred Interests
  At the Closing, AIG will purchase from the FRBNY AIA Preferred Interests and ALICO Preferred Interests (the “Purchased AIA/ALICO Preferred Interests”) having an aggregate liquidation preference equal to at least the Series F Closing Drawdown Amount, at a cash purchase price (the “AIA/ALICO Preferred Interests Purchase Price”) equal to the aggregate outstanding liquidation preference of all of the Purchased AIA/ALICO Preferred Interests. Unless otherwise agreed by the FRBNY and the UST, the Purchased AIA/ALICO Preferred Interests will be purchased on a pro rata basis as to the AIA Preferred Interests and ALICO Preferred Interests based on the relative aggregate outstanding liquidation preferences of the AIA Preferred Interests and ALICO Preferred Interests at that time. AIG will fund the AIA/ALICO Preferred Interests Purchase Price from the Series F Closing Drawdown Amount.
 
   
Amendment of SPA
  The parties will amend and restate the SPA to (i) exchange a portion of the Series F Drawdown Right for the Series G Drawdown Right (if AIG so elects) and (ii) provide for the exchange of the Series F Preferred Stock as described below. Notwithstanding such exchange, the remaining commitment fees on the Series F Drawdown Right will nevertheless remain
 
9   Taking into account, if applicable, the application of (i) any proceeds subject to the Waiver in excess of the amount required to be used to repay the FRBNY Credit Facility and advanced as SPV Intercompany Loans and (ii) any cash proceeds received from the disposal of Designated Pledged Assets prior to the Closing.

  payable by AIG at the times they are currently due.
 
   
Exchange of Series F Preferred Stock
  Simultaneously with the Closing, the shares of Series F Preferred Stock held by the UST will be exchanged for:
    the Purchased AIA/ALICO Preferred Interests;
 
    shares of Series G Preferred Stock, having the rights, preferences and terms described below (but only if (i) AIG has elected prior to the Closing to designate a portion of the Series F Drawdown Right as the Series G Drawdown Right and/or (ii) AIG draws on the Series F Drawdown Right after the date the parties announce the Recapitalization and prior to the Closing); and
 
    approximately 167.6 million shares of AIG Common Stock.
     
Series G Preferred Stock
  The Series G Preferred Stock received by the UST will have the following rights, preferences and terms:
    Liquidation preference: The shares of Series G Preferred Stock will initially have a zero aggregate liquidation preference, except that if AIG draws on the Series F Drawdown Right after the date the parties announce the Recapitalization and prior to the Closing, the shares of Series G Preferred Stock will have an initial aggregate liquidation preference equal to the amount of such draws. Upon each drawdown, the aggregate liquidation preference of the shares of the Series G Preferred Stock will increase by an amount equal to the amount of such drawdown. Dividends on each share of Series G Preferred Stock will accrue on a daily basis at a rate of 5% per annum, compounded quarterly.
 
    Conversion: The Series G Preferred Stock will automatically convert into AIG Common Stock on March 31, 2012 (the “Conversion Date”) following the consummation, if applicable, of the Deferred Exchange on the Conversion Date. The Series G Preferred Stock will be convertible into a variable number of shares of AIG Common Stock equal to (x) the aggregate liquidation preference of the Series G Preferred Stock, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, divided by (y) the Conversion Price. The “Conversion Price” will be equal to the lesser of (a) 80% of the volume weighted average price of the AIG Common Stock over the 20 trading days prior to the announcement date of the Recapitalization, and (b) 80% of the volume weighted average price of the AIG Common Stock over the 20 trading days prior to the Closing Date, subject to anti-dilution protections typical in registered convertible securities.
 
    Optional Redemption: AIG may redeem the Series G Preferred Stock at any time or times, in whole or in part, at a redemption price in cash equal to the liquidation preference of the Series G Preferred Stock, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, without any prepayment or other penalty; provided, however, that for so long as the FRBNY holds AIA/ALICO Preferred Interests:
    AIG shall not have the right to redeem the Series G Preferred Stock

7


 

      for cash; and
 
    instead, AIG shall have the right to deliver the FRBNY cash in exchange for AIA/ALICO Preferred Interests having an aggregate liquidation preference (plus accrued and unpaid dividends) equal to such cash amount, and thereafter deliver to the UST the AIA/ALICO Preferred Interests so purchased in exchange for a reduction in the aggregate liquidation preference of the Series G Preferred Stock by a corresponding amount (such transactions to be consummated in a manner consistent with the steps set forth in clauses 3 through 6 under “Deferred Exchange of AIA/ALICO Preferred Interests” below).
    Mandatory Redemption Upon Equity Offering: Net proceeds received by AIG in connection with any public offering for cash of its equity securities (whether or not such offering constitutes an “Equity Offering” (as defined below)) after the closing of the recapitalization will be used as follows:
    first, the net proceeds will reduce on a dollar-for-dollar basis the remaining availability, if any, of the Series G Designated Amount for general corporate purposes and instead will be available solely for the purpose of purchasing and exchanging an equal amount of AIA/ALICO Preferred Interests, if any, then held by the FRBNY as contemplated under “Deferred Exchange of AIA/ALICO Preferred Interests” below; and
 
    thereafter, the remaining net proceeds will be used to redeem Series G Preferred Stock at a redemption price equal to the liquidation preference, plus accrued and unpaid dividends.
    Series G Drawdown Right: The Series G Drawdown Right may be drawn for general corporate purposes upon the applicable conditions to such drawdown being met as described below under “Conditions to Closing of Each Drawdown” consistent with the drawdown mechanics of the Series F Drawdown Right; provided that, consistent with the Series F Drawdown Right, AIG may not use the funds drawn to pay annual bonuses or other future cash performance awards to executives or senior partners.
 
    Availability: The Series G Designated Amount will be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis (i) as described above under “Mandatory Redemption Upon Equity Offering” and (ii) by the aggregate amount AIG draws on the Series F Drawdown Right at any time after the date the parties announce the Recapitalization and prior to the Closing.
 
    Equity Offering: Pursuant to the SPA, AIG will commit to use commercially reasonable efforts (after taking into account the price of the equity securities to be offered) to effect an underwritten public offering of its equity securities to raise net proceeds equal to the Series G Designated Amount (an “Equity Offering”) during the period beginning after the date AIG files its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and ending on June 30, 2011.
 
    Duration of Series G Drawdown Right: The Series G Drawdown Right will expire upon the earlier of (i) the Conversion Date and (ii) such time

8


 

      that AIG has (A) been adjudicated as, or determined by any governmental authority having regulatory authority over AIG or its assets to be, insolvent, (B) become the subject of an insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization proceeding (including, without limitation, under Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code) or (C) become the subject of an appointment of a trustee, receiver, intervenor or conservator under the Resolution Authority under Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or under any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law now or hereafter in effect (each of (A) through (C), an “Insolvency Trigger”);
 
    Conditions to Commencement: The conditions to the commencement of the Series G Drawdown Right will be as follows (which are substantially the same as the analogous conditions relating to the commencement of the Series F Drawdown Right):
    accuracy of AIG’s representations and warranties and performance by AIG of its obligations under the SPA;
 
    a certificate of an AIG senior executive officer certifying as to the matters described in the preceding bullet point;
 
    the filing with the Delaware Secretary of State of the certificate of designations for the Series G Preferred Stock;
 
    delivery to the UST of an opinion of counsel in substantially the same form as delivered in connection with the commencement of the Series F Drawdown Right;
 
    delivery of stock certificates for the Series G Preferred Stock; and
 
    the Closing has occurred.
    Conditions to Closing of Each Drawdown: The conditions to the closing of each drawdown pursuant to the Series G Drawdown Right will be as follows:
    the Conversion Date has not occurred;
 
    an Insolvency Trigger has not occurred;
 
  -   on or before the applicable drawdown date, AIG has provided to the UST an outline, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the UST, of the expected uses by AIG of the drawdown amount;
 
    the accuracy of certain of the representations and warranties contained in the SPA as of, and AIG’s performance of it obligations under the SPA at or prior to, the drawdown date; and
 
    delivery to the UST of an opinion of counsel in substantially the same form as delivered in connection with a drawdown under the Series F Drawdown Right.
    Ranking. The Series G Preferred Stock will rank with respect to rights upon the liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of AIG:
    senior to (a) all of the AIG Common Stock and (b) to each other class of capital stock the terms of which expressly provide that it

9


 

      ranks junior to the Series G Preferred Stock as to dividend rights and rights on liquidation, winding up and dissolution of AIG;
 
    On a parity with any class or series of capital stock the terms of which do not expressly provide that such class or series will rank senior or junior to the Series G Preferred Stock as to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, winding-up and dissolution of AIG;
 
    junior to each class or series of capital stock the terms of which provide that such class or series will rank senior to the Series G Preferred Stock; and
 
    junior to all of the existing and future indebtedness and other obligations of AIG.
     
Deferred Exchange of AIA/ALICO Preferred Interests
  If the FRBNY holds AIA/ALICO Preferred Interests on (i) any date on which the availability under the Series G Drawdown Right for general corporate purposes is reduced as a result of any public offering by AIG of its equity securities and/or (ii) the Conversion Date (to the extent there is any undrawn availability of the Series G Designated Amount as of the Conversion Date) (each, a “Deferred Exchange Date”), then the following transactions (collectively, a “Deferred Exchange”) will occur on such Deferred Exchange Date (and, in the case of the Conversion Date, immediately prior to the conversion of the Series G Preferred Stock into shares of AIG Common Stock as described above) in the order listed below, all of which will be deemed to occur substantially contemporaneously:
  1.   AIG will draw pursuant to the Series G Drawdown Right in an amount (such amount, the “Deferred AIA/ALICO Preferred Interests Purchase Price”) equal to the lesser of (A) in the case of a Deferred Exchange referred to in clause (i) above, the amount by which the availability under the Series G Drawdown Right for general corporate purposes is reduced as a result of such public offering, and, in the case of a Deferred Exchange referred to in clause (ii) above, the undrawn availability of the Series G Designated Amount as of the Conversion Date, and (B) the aggregate liquidation preference of all AIA/ALICO Preferred Interests held by the FRBNY at such time;
 
  2.   the aggregate liquidation preference of the Series G Preferred Stock will increase by an amount equal to the Deferred AIA/ALICO Preferred Interests Purchase Price;
 
  3.   AIG will deliver a cash amount equal to the Deferred AIA/ALICO Preferred Interests Purchase Price to the FRBNY;
 
  4.   the FRBNY will deliver AIA Preferred Interests and ALICO Preferred Interests (the “Deferred Purchased AIA/ALICO Preferred Interests”) having an aggregate liquidation preference equal to the Deferred AIA/ALICO Preferred Interests Purchase Price to AIG (unless otherwise agreed by the FRBNY and the UST, the Deferred Purchased AIA/ALICO Preferred Interests will be purchased on a pro rata basis as to the AIA Preferred Interests and ALICO Preferred Interests based on the relative aggregate outstanding liquidation preferences of the AIA Preferred Interests and ALICO Preferred Interests held by the FRBNY at that time);

10


 

  5.   AIG will deliver the Deferred Purchased AIA/ALICO Preferred Interests to the UST; and
 
  6.   the aggregate liquidation preference of the Series G Preferred Stock will reduce by an amount equal to the Deferred AIA/ALICO Preferred Interests Purchase Price.
     
 
  Notwithstanding the terms of the Series G Preferred Stock described above under “Series G Preferred Stock”, for purposes of a Deferred Exchange:
    the only condition to the drawdown of all or a portion of the Series G Unused Availability in connection with such Deferred Exchange is that the Deferred Purchased AIA/ALICO Preferred Interests will be delivered to the UST at the closing of such Deferred Exchange; and
 
    the availability of the Series G Drawdown Right will be equal to the Deferred AIA/ALICO Preferred Interests Purchase Price.
     
Subordination Agreement
  If the aggregate Purchased AIA/ALICO Preferred Interests (including any Deferred Purchased AIA/ALICO Preferred Interests) do not constitute all of the AIA/ALICO Preferred Interests outstanding, the FRBNY will have the right, pursuant to a subordination agreement entered into among AIG, AIA SPV, ALICO SPV, the UST and the FRBNY, to receive distributions on its remaining AIA/ALICO Preferred Interests up to the aggregate outstanding liquidation preferences of all AIA/ALICO Preferred Interests held by the FRBNY before the UST will be entitled to receive any distributions on the AIA/ALICO Preferred Interests. In furtherance of the foregoing, AIG will agree to cause AIA SPV and ALICO SPV to make distributions on AIA/ALICO Preferred Interests to the FRBNY until the aggregate outstanding liquidation preferences of all AIA/ALICO Preferred Interests held by the FRBNY have been paid in full, and thereafter make all distributions on the AIA/ALICO Preferred Interests to the UST. Each of the FRBNY and the UST will agree that, to the extent it receives any distributions inconsistent with the preceding sentence, it will promptly return such distributions to the AIA SPV or ALICO SPV, as the case may be, or direct such distributions directly to the other party.
 
   
Exchange of Equity Units
  Shortly after AIG files its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, AIG will conduct a registered exchange offer in which it will offer shares of AIG Common Stock and cash for the equity units mandatorily exchangeable for shares of AIG Common Stock that it previously issued on May 16, 2008.10 AIG intends to file a registration statement on Form S-4 relating to the exchange prior to the filing of such Quarterly Report with the expectation that the Form S-4 will become effective shortly following the filing of such Quarterly Report.
 
10   The number of shares of AIG Common Stock will be the number that holders would receive under the stock purchase contracts underlying the equity units and the cash payments will be designed to compensate holders for the interim payments (interest on the underlying debentures and contract adjustment payments on the underlying stock purchase contracts) to which they would otherwise be entitled.

11
