  For the purpose of calculating the value of “N”, for each calendar day in an Interest Accrual Period that is not a U.S. Government Securities Business Day, the Reference Rate will be equal to the Reference Rate on the previous U.S. Government Securities Business Day, subject to the provisions set out under “Reference Rate Cut-Off” below.
 
   
Interest Payment Dates: Semi-annual on each January 20, and July 20, commencing on January 20, 2008, and ending on the Maturity Date (whether the Stated Maturity Date or an earlier Redemption Date), subject to adjustment using the Following Business Day Payment Convention.

Other Provisions:
     
“Following Business Day
Convention”
  Means the convention for adjusting any relevant date if it would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day. When used in conjunction with a date, this convention shall mean that an adjustment will be made such that if that date would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day so, that date as adjusted will be the first following day that is a Business Day.
 
   
“Business Day”
  Means any day other than a day that (i) is a Saturday or Sunday, (ii) is a day on which banking institutions generally in the City of New York or London, England are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close or (iii) is a day on which transactions in dollars are not conducted in the City of New York or London, England.
 
   
“U.S. Government Securities Business Day”
  Means any day except for Saturday, Sunday, or a day on which The Bond Market Association recommends that the fixed income departments of its members be closed for the entire day for purposes of trading in U.S. government securities.
 
   
“USD-CMS-Reference Banks”
  An interest rate determined on the basis of the mid-market semi-annual swap rate quotations provided by the principal New York City office of each of five leading swap dealers in the New York interbank market (the “Reference Banks”) at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time on the day that is two U.S. Government Securities Business Days preceding the applicable date; and for this purpose, the semi-annual swap rate means the mean of the bid and offered rates for the semi-annual fixed leg, calculated on a 30/360 day count basis, of a fixed-for-floating U.S. dollar interest rate swap transaction with a term equal to, in the case of 30CMS, 30 years, and in the case of 10CMS, 10 years, commencing on the applicable date and in a representative amount for 30-year and 10-year CMS swap transactions, as applicable, with an acknowledged dealer of good credit in the swap market, where the floating leg, calculated on an actual/360 day count basis, is equivalent to USD-LIBOR-BBA with a designated maturity of three months. The Calculation Agent will request the Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least three quotations are provided, the rate for the applicable date will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations, eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest). If two quotations are provided, the rate for the applicable date will be the arithmetic mean of the two quotations. If one quotation is provided, the rate for the applicable date will be that single quotation provided. If no quotations are provided, the rate for the applicable date will be determined by the Calculation Agent in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner.
 
   
Day Count Convention:
  30/360
 
   
Calculation Agent:
  AIG Financial Products Corp.
Examples of Calculation of Interest Rate:
Example 1: Assuming the value of the Reference Rate is greater than or equal to 0.00% on every calendar day from July 20, 2009 to January 20, 2010, on the applicable Interest Payment Date, the Interest Rate per annum for the applicable Interest Accrual Period would be 9.00% calculated as follows: 9.00% x 180/180 = 9.00%.
Example 2: Assuming the value of the Reference Rate is less than 0.00% on every calendar day from July 20, 2009 to January 20, 2010, on the applicable Interest Payment Date, the Interest Rate per annum for the applicable Interest Accrual Period would be 0.00% calculated as follows: 9.00% x 0/180 = 0.00%.

P-3


 

Example 3: Assuming the value of the Reference Rate is greater than or equal to 0.00% on 90 calendar days from July 20, 2009 to January 20, 2010, on the applicable Interest Payment Date, the Interest Rate per annum for the applicable Interest Accrual Period would be 4.50% calculated as follows: 9.00% x 90/180 = 4.50%.
RISK FACTORS
Investing in the Notes involves a number of significant risks not associated with similar investments in a conventional debt security, including, but not limited to, fluctuations in the USD 30-year Constant Maturity Swap (CMS) Rate and the USD 10-year CMS Rate, and other events that are difficult to predict and beyond AIG’s control. Accordingly, prospective investors should consult their financial and legal advisors as to the risks entailed by an investment in the notes and the suitability of the notes in light of their particular circumstances.
Historical performance of the spread between the USD 30-year CMS Rate and the USD 10-year CMS Rate should not be taken as an indication of the future performance of the USD 30-year CMS Rate and the USD 10-year CMS Rate during the term of the notes.
          It is impossible to predict whether the Reference Rate will increase or decrease. The Reference Rate will be influenced by complex and interrelated political, economic, financial and other factors; therefore, the historical spread between the USD 30-year CMS Rate and the USD 10-year CMS Rate should not be taken as an indication of the future performance of the spread between these two rates during the term of the notes.
          Factors that may affect the level of the USD 30-year CMS Rate and the USD 10-year CMS Rate and the Reference Rate between them include monetary policy, interest rate volatility, interest rate levels and the inflation rate.
          Please note that historical trends are not indicative of future behavior of the USD 30 year CMS Rate, the USD 10 year CMS Rate and the spread between the two swap rates.
The market value of the notes may be influenced by unpredictable factors.
The market value of your notes may fluctuate between the date you purchase them and the Maturity Date. Several factors, many of which are beyond our control, will influence the market value of the notes. We expect that generally the USD 30-Year CMS Rate and the USD 10-Year CMS Rate on any day and expectations relating to the future level of the USD 30-Year CMS Rate and the USD 10-Year CMS Rate will affect the market value of the notes more than any other single factor. Other factors that may influence the market value of the notes include:
    supply and demand for the notes, including inventory positions held by any market maker;
    economic, financial, political and regulatory or judicial events that affect financial markets generally; interest rates in the market generally;
    the time remaining to maturity;
    our right to redeem the notes; and
    our creditworthiness and credit ratings.
Market factors may influence whether we exercise our right to redeem the notes prior to their scheduled maturity.
It is more likely that we will redeem the notes prior to their stated Maturity Date to the extent that the Reference Rate increases and results in an amount of interest in respect of the notes greater than that for instruments of a comparable maturity and credit rating trading in the market. If we redeem the notes prior to their stated maturity date, you may be unable to invest in securities with similar risk and yield as the notes and replacement investments may be more expensive than your investment in the notes. Your ability to realize market value appreciation and any interest is limited by our right to redeem the notes prior to their scheduled maturity.
There may not be an active trading market in the notes and sales prior to maturity may result in losses.
There may be little or no secondary market for the notes. We do not intend to list the notes on any stock exchange or automated quotation system, and it is not possible to predict whether a secondary market will develop for the notes. Even if a

P-4


 

secondary market for the notes develops, it may not provide significant liquidity or result in trading of notes at prices advantageous to you. Sales in the secondary market may result in significant losses. Nomura Securities International, Inc. currently intends to act as market makers for the notes, but they are not required to do so, and may stop doing so at any time. We expect there will be little or no liquidity in the notes. The prices that may be offered in the secondary market for the notes will be discounted to reflect hedging and other costs and, among other things, changes of and volatility in interest rates in the market.
Trading by certain of our affiliates in the U.S. Dollar swap rate market may impair the value of the notes.
Certain of our affiliates, including our subsidiary AIG Financial Products Corp. are active participants in the U.S. Dollar swap rate market as dealers, proprietary traders and agents for our customers, and therefore at any given time may be a party to one or more transactions related to the USD 30-year CMS Rate or the USD 10-year CMS Rate. In addition, we or one or more of our affiliates may hedge our exposure under the notes by entering into various transactions. We may adjust these hedges at any time and from time to time. Our trading and hedging activities or other financial activity of ours or our affiliates may have a material adverse effect on the spread between the USD 30-year CMS Rate and the USD 10-year CMS Rate and make it less likely that you will receive a return on your investment in the notes. It is possible that we or our affiliates could receive significant returns from these hedging activities while the value of or amounts payable under the notes may decline.
The inclusion of compensation and projected profits from hedging in the original issue price is likely to adversely affect secondary market prices.
Assuming no change in market conditions or any other relevant factors, the price, if any, at which we, any of our affiliates or any market maker are willing to purchase the notes in secondary market transactions will likely be lower, and may be materially lower, than the price at which we sold the notes to the Agent. In addition, any such prices may differ from values determined by pricing models used by us or any of our affiliates or any market maker as a result of dealer discounts, mark-ups or other transactions.
ERISA CONSIDERATIONS
          The notes may not be purchased or held by any employee benefit plan or other plan or account that is subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) or Section 4975 of the Code (each, a “plan”), or by any entity whose underlying assets include “plan assets” by reason of any plan’s investment in the entity (a “plan asset entity”), unless in each case the purchaser or holder is eligible for exemptive relief from the prohibited transaction rules of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code under a prohibited transaction class exemption issued by the Department of Labor or another applicable statutory or administrative exemption. Each purchaser or holder of the notes will be deemed to represent that either (1) it is not a plan or plan asset entity and is not purchasing the notes on behalf of or with plan assets or (2) with respect to the purchase and holding, it is eligible for relief under a prohibited transaction class exemption or other applicable statutory or administrative exemption from the prohibited transaction rules of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code. The foregoing supplements the discussion under ERISA Considerations in the base prospectus dated July 24, 2006.
USE OF PROCEEDS
          We intend to lend the net proceeds from the sale of the notes to our subsidiary AIG Financial Products Corp. or certain of its subsidiaries for use for general corporate purposes.

CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
          We will treat the notes as contingent payment obligations. Special U.S. federal income tax rules apply to contingent payment obligations. These rules are described under the heading “United States Taxation — Original Issue Discount — Notes Subject to Contingent Payment Obligation Rules” in the Prospectus Supplement.
          The U.S. Treasury Regulations discussing the U.S. federal income tax treatment of contingent payment obligations require the issuer of such notes to provide the purchaser with the comparable yield of a hypothetical AIG debt instrument with terms similar to the notes, but without any contingent payments, and a projected payment schedule for payments on the notes. As discussed in the Prospectus Supplement, a purchaser of the notes will need this information to calculate its income on the notes. Solely for purposes of applying these regulations, we have determined that the comparable yield is 5.46%. Based on this comparable yield, and taking into account the first four initial fixed payments on the notes, the projected payment schedule for each payment period is set forth in the following table:

          As indicated in the Prospectus Supplement, the treatment of contingent payment obligations subject to optional redemption rights is uncertain. If the Internal Revenue Service were to require that we not take into account the probability of exercise of the call option for purposes of calculating the comparable yield and projected payment schedule, then the amount of income to be accrued would likely be different.

The comparable yield and projected payment schedule set forth above are being provided to you solely for the purpose of determining the amount of interest that accrues in respect of your note for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and none of AIG or its affiliates or agents is making any representation or prediction regarding the actual amount of interest (if any) that may be payable with respect to your note after July 20, 2009, or the likelihood of the notes being redeemed prior to the Maturity Date.
