CAUTIONARY
STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This prospectus and other publicly available documents,
including the documents incorporated herein by reference, may
include, and AIGs officers and representatives may from
time to time make projections and statements which may
constitute forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
These projections and statements are not historical facts but
instead represent only AIGs belief regarding future
events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain
and outside AIGs control. These projections and statements
may address, among other things, the outcome of the recently
completed and proposed transactions with the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York and the United States Department of the
Treasury, the number, size, terms, cost and timing of
dispositions and their potential effect on AIGs
businesses, financial condition, results of operations, cash
flows and liquidity (and AIG at any time and from time to time
may change its plans with respect to the sale of one or more
businesses), AIGs exposures to subprime mortgages,
monoline insurers and the residential and commercial real estate
markets, the separation of AIGs businesses from AIG parent
company, AIGs ability to retain and motivate its employees
and AIGs strategy for growth, product development, market
position, financial results and reserves. It is possible that
AIGs actual results and financial condition will differ,
possibly materially, from the anticipated results and financial
condition indicated in these projections and statements. Factors
that could cause AIGs actual results to differ, possibly
materially, from those in the specific projections and
statements include a failure of the completed transactions with
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or the United States
Department of the Treasury to achieve their desired objectives
or a failure to complete the proposed transactions with the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York, developments in global credit
markets and such other factors as discussed throughout

International Group, Inc.
AIGs authorized capital stock includes
5,000,000,000 shares of common stock (par value $2.50 per
share). As of June 30, 2009, after giving effect to a
reverse stock split at a ratio of one-for-twenty, there were
134,569,378 shares of common stock outstanding.
All of the outstanding shares of our common stock are fully paid

shares of preferred stock that may be issued and outstanding,
the holders of common stock are entitled to receive:
|
|
|
|
|
dividends when, as and if declared by our board of directors out
of funds legally available for the payment of dividends (there
are restrictions that apply under applicable insurance laws,
however, to the payment of dividends to AIG by its insurance
subsidiaries); and
|
|
|
|
in the event of dissolution of AIG, to share ratably in all
assets remaining after payment of liabilities and satisfaction
of the liquidation preferences, if any, of then outstanding
shares of preferred stock, as provided in AIGs amended and
restated certificate of incorporation.
|
Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each
share held of record on all matters presented to a vote at a
shareholders meeting, including the election of directors.
Holders of common stock have no cumulative voting rights or
preemptive rights to purchase or subscribe for any additional
shares of common stock or other securities, and there are no
conversion rights or redemption or sinking fund provisions with
respect to the common stock. Authorized but unissued shares of
common stock may be issued without shareholder approval.
Your prospectus supplement will describe restrictions on our
activities with respect to our common stock contained in our
junior subordinated debentures, outstanding preferred stock and
other debt instruments.
AIG has adopted direct company registration of its common stock.
Purchasers of shares of common stock will not receive stock
certificates evidencing their share ownership. Instead, they
will be provided with a statement reflecting the number of
shares registered in their accounts.

DESCRIPTION
OF PREFERRED STOCK AIG MAY OFFER
References to AIG, us, we
or our in this section mean American International
Group, Inc. and do not include the subsidiaries of American
International Group, Inc.
We may issue preferred stock in one or more series. We may also
reopen a previously issued series of preferred stock
and issue additional preferred stock of that series. This
Section summarizes terms of the preferred stock that apply
generally to all series. The description of most of the
financial and other specific terms of your series will be in
your prospectus supplement. Those terms may vary from the terms
described here.
Our authorized capital stock includes 100,000,000 shares of
preferred stock, par value $5.00 per share. The preferred stock
will be governed by Delaware law. Information regarding
preferred stock that is currently outstanding is contained in
AIGs Annual Report on
Form 10-K

Report on
Form 10-Q
for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2009, Current
Report on
Form 8-K,
filed on April 20, 2009 (relating to the issuance of
AIGs Series E Fixed Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual
Preferred Stock, par value $5.00 per share, in exchange for
shares of AIGs Series D Fixed Rate Cumulative
Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $5.00 per share), and
Current Report on
Form 8-K,

incorporated by reference into this prospectus as described
under Where You Can Find More Information. The
prospectus supplement with respect to any offered preferred
stock will include a description of the preferred stock that may
be outstanding as of the date of the prospectus supplement.
The authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock are
available for issuance from time to time at the discretion of
our board of directors without shareholder approval. Our board
of directors is authorized to divide the preferred stock into
series and, with respect to each series, to determine the
designations, the powers, preferences and rights and the
qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the series,
including:
|
|
|
|
|
dividend rights;
|
|
|
|
conversion or exchange rights;
|
|
|
|
voting rights;
|
|
|
|
redemption rights and terms;
|
|
|
|
liquidation preferences;
|
|
|
|
sinking fund provisions;
|
|
|
|
the serial designation of the series; and
|
|
|
|
the number of shares constituting the series.
|
We may, at our option, instead of offering whole individual
shares of any series of preferred stock, offer depositary shares
evidenced by depositary receipts, each representing a fraction
of a share or some multiple of shares of the particular series
of preferred stock issued and deposited with a depositary. The
fraction of a share or multiple of shares of preferred stock
which each depositary share represents will be stated in the
prospectus supplement relating to any series of preferred stock
offered through depositary shares. The depositary for depositary
shares will be named in the prospectus supplement for those
depositary shares.
The rights of holders of preferred stock may be adversely
affected by the rights of holders of existing preferred stock or
preferred stock that may be issued in the future. Our board of
directors may cause shares of preferred stock to be issued in
public or private transactions for any proper corporate purpose.
Preferred stock will be fully paid and nonassessable when
issued, which means that our holders will have paid their
purchase price in full and that we may not ask them to surrender
additional funds. Unless otherwise provided in your prospectus
supplement, holders of preferred stock will not have preemptive
or subscription rights to acquire more stock of AIG.
2
All preferred stock will be issued in direct company
registration form on the books and records of AIG. Purchasers of
shares of preferred stock will be provided with a statement
reflecting number of shares registered in their accounts.
The transfer agent, registrar, dividend disbursing agent and
redemption agent for shares of each series of preferred stock
will be named in the prospectus supplement relating to that
series.

Indemnification
of Directors and Officers
|
The amended and restated certificate of incorporation of AIG
provides that AIG shall indemnify to the full extent permitted
by law any person made, or threatened to be made, a party to an
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he
or she, or his or her testator or intestate, is or was a
director, officer or employee of AIG or serves or served any
other enterprise at the request of AIG. Section 6.4 of
AIGs by-laws contains a similar provision. The amended and
restated certificate of incorporation of AIG also provides that
a director will not be liable to AIG or its shareholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except to the extent that the exemption from liability or
limitation thereof is not permitted by the Delaware General
Corporation Law.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits
indemnification against expenses, fines, judgments and
settlements incurred by any director, officer, employee or agent
of a company in the event of pending, threatened or completed
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative proceedings, if
such person was, or was threatened to be, made a party by reason
of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the company. Section 145 also provides
that the indemnification provided for therein shall not be
deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking
indemnification may otherwise be entitled.
AIG has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its
directors to the same effect as Section 6.4 of AIGs
by-laws.
In addition, AIG and its subsidiaries maintain a directors
and officers liability insurance policy.
See Exhibits Index which is incorporated herein by
reference.

of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the
registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form
of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of
the first contract of sale of securities in the offering
described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for
liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that
date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new
effective date of the registration statement relating to the
securities in the registration statement to which the prospectus
relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;
provided, however, that no statement made in a
registration statement or prospectus that is part of the
registration statement or made in a document incorporated or
deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement
or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will,
as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such
effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made
in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the
registration statement or made in any such document immediately
prior to such effective date.
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the
Registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in
the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned
Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities
of the undersigned Registrant pursuant to this registration
statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell
the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered
or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following
communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a seller to
the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such
securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the
undersigned Registrant relating to the offering required to be
filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering
prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant or used
or referred to by the undersigned Registrant;
II-2
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus
relating to the offering containing material information about
such undersigned Registrant or its securities provided by or on
behalf of such undersigned Registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the
offering made by the undersigned Registrant to the purchaser.
(b) That, for purposes of determining any liability under
the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of AIGs annual
report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by
reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to
directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment
by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted against the Registrant by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question
whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.
II-3

(3) Unless otherwise provided in the resolutions of the Board of Directors or a duly

no holder of any share or shares of Junior Preferred Stock shall be entitled as of right
to vote on any amendment or alteration of the Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation to authorize or create, or increase the authorized amount of, any class or
series of Serial Preferred Stock or any alteration, amendment or repeal of any provision
of any other series of Junior Preferred Stock that does not adversely affect in any
4
material respect the rights of the series of Junior Preferred Stock held by such
holder.
(4) Except as provided in the resolutions of the Board of Directors or a duly
authorized committee thereof in establishing the terms of a series of Serial Preferred
Stock, so long as any shares of UST Preferred Stock and any series of Serial Preferred
Stock ranking on a parity therewith as to dividends shall be outstanding, in no event
shall any dividend, whether in cash or property, be paid or declared, nor shall any
distribution be made, on any junior stock or Junior Preferred Stock, nor shall any shares
of any junior stock or Junior Preferred Stock be purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired
for value by the Company, unless all dividends on the UST Preferred Stock and any series
of Serial Preferred Stock ranking on a parity with the UST Preferred Stock as to dividends
for all past dividend periods and for the then current period shall have been paid or
declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart, and unless the Company
shall not be in default with respect to any of its obligations with respect to any past
period with respect to any sinking fund for the UST Preferred Stock or any Serial
Preferred Stock ranking on a parity therewith as to dividends. If such payment shall have
been made in full to the holders of the UST Preferred Stock and any series of Serial
Preferred Stock ranking on a parity therewith as to dividends, dividends may then be paid
on junior stock and Junior Preferred Stock, according to their respective rights and
preferences.
(5) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding
up of the affairs of the Company, then, before any distribution or payment shall be made
to the holders of any junior stock or Junior Preferred Stock, the holders of the UST
Preferred Stock and any series of Serial Preferred Stock ranking on a parity therewith as
to liquidation shall be entitled to be paid in full the respective amounts of the
liquidation preferences thereof. If such payment shall have been made in full to the
holders of the UST Preferred Stock and any series of Serial Preferred Stock ranking on a
parity therewith as to liquidation, the remaining assets and funds of the Company shall be
distributed among the holders of Junior Preferred Stock, according to their respective
rights and preferences, to pay in full the respective amounts of the liquidation
preference thereof. If such payment shall have been made in full to the holders of Junior
Preferred Stock, the remaining assets and funds of the Company shall be distributed among
the holders of the junior stock, according to their respective rights and preferences and
in each case according to their respective shares. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution
or winding up of the affairs of the Company, the amounts so payable are not paid in full
to the holders of all outstanding shares of UST Preferred Stock and any series of Serial
Preferred Stock ranking on a parity therewith as to liquidation, the holders of all UST
Preferred Stock and any series of Serial Preferred Stock ranking on a parity therewith as
to liquidation shall share ratably in any distribution of assets in proportion to the full
amounts to which they would otherwise be respectively
5
entitled. Neither the consolidation or merger of the Company, nor the sale, lease or
conveyance of all or a part of its assets, shall be deemed a liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the affairs of the Company within the meaning of the foregoing provisions of
this subdivision (5).
(6) No holder of Serial Preferred Stock shall be entitled as a matter of right to
subscribe for or purchase, or have any preemptive right with respect to, any part of any
new or additional issue of stock of any class whatsoever, or of securities convertible
into any stock of any class whatsoever, whether now or hereafter authorized and whether
issued for cash or other consideration or by way of dividend.
(7) As used herein with respect to the Serial Preferred Stock or in any resolution
adopted by the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof providing for the
issue of any particular series of the Serial Preferred Stock as authorized by subdivision
(1) of this Article Four, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
(a) The term junior stock shall mean the Common Stock and any other class
of stock of the Company hereafter authorized over which the Serial Preferred
Stock has preference or priority in the payment of dividends or in the
distribution of assets on any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution
or winding up of the Company.

Convertible, Participating Preferred Stock of the Company.

Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock of the Company, the Series F Fixed Rate
Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock of the Company and any other series of
Serial Preferred Stock hereafter authorized that is initially issued to the
United States Department of the Treasury.
(d) The term Junior Preferred Stock shall mean (1) the Series C Preferred
Stock and (2) any other series of Serial Preferred Stock hereafter authorized
that is not initially issued to the United States Department of the Treasury.
(e) The term sinking fund shall mean any fund or requirement for the
periodic retirement of shares.
(f) The term accrued dividends, with respect to any share of any series,
shall mean an amount computed at the annual dividend rate for the series of which
the particular share is a part, from the date on which dividends on such share
became cumulative to and including the
6
date to which such dividends are to be accrued, less the aggregate amount of
all dividends theretofore paid thereon.
(8) No holder of any share or shares of stock of the Company shall be entitled as of
right to subscribe for, purchase or receive any shares of stock of any class or any other
securities which the Company may issue, whether now or hereafter authorized, and whether
such stock or securities be issued for money or for a consideration other than money or by
way of a dividend and all such shares of stock or other securities may be issued or
disposed of by the Board of Directors to such persons, firms, corporations, and
associations and on such terms as it, in its absolute discretion, may deem advisable,
without offering to stockholders then of record or any class of stockholders any thereof

or more committees, each committee to consist of two or more of the directors of

the management of the business and affairs of the Company, and may authorize the

ratification at any annual meeting of the stockholders or at any meeting of the
stockholders called for the purpose of considering any such act or contract, and any

majority of the stock of the Company which is represented in person or by proxy at such
meeting and entitled to vote thereat (provided that a lawful quorum of stockholders be
there represented in person or by proxy) shall be as valid and as binding upon the Company
and upon all the stockholders, as though it had been approved or ratified by every
stockholder of the Company, whether or not the contract or act would otherwise be open to
legal attack because of directors interest, or for any other reason.
(4) The stockholders and directors shall have power to hold their meetings if the
By-Laws so provide and (except as the laws of the State of Delaware shall otherwise

conferred upon them, the directors are hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do
all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Company; subject,
nevertheless, to the provisions of the statutes of Delaware, of this certificate, and to

existence of a quorum at any meeting of the Board of Directors of the Company which shall authorize

ANNEX
I
CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS
OF
SERIES C PERPETUAL, CONVERTIBLE, PARTICIPATING PREFERRED STOCK
OF
AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL GROUP, INC.
American International Group, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the Company), hereby certifies that the
following resolution was adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company (the Board of
Directors) as required by Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
at a meeting duly held on March 1, 2009:
RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority granted to and vested in the Board of Directors in
accordance with the provisions of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended from time
to time, the Board of Directors hereby creates a series of Serial Preferred Stock, par value $5.00
per share, of the Company, and hereby states the designation and number of shares, and fixes the
voting and other powers, and the relative rights and preferences, and the qualifications,
limitations and restrictions thereof, as follows:
Series C Perpetual, Convertible, Participating Preferred Stock:
Capitalized terms used and not defined have the respective meanings set forth in Section 19.
Section 1. Designation and Number of Shares. There is hereby created out of the authorized
and unissued shares of serial preferred stock of the Company a series of preferred stock designated
as the Series C Perpetual, Convertible, Participating Preferred Stock (the Series C
Preferred Stock). The authorized number of shares of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be
100,000. Such number of shares may be decreased by resolution of the Board of Directors, subject
to the terms and conditions hereof; provided, that no decrease shall reduce the number of
shares of Series C Preferred Stock to a number less than the number of shares then outstanding.
Section 2. Dividends and Distributions.
(A) Subject to the rights of the holders of any shares of any series of Preferred Stock
ranking prior and superior to the Series C Preferred Stock with respect to dividends, the
holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive per share of
Series C Preferred Stock when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors or any duly
authorized committee of the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for the
purpose, on the same date as any dividends are paid on the Common Stock (payable in cash or
in kind as applicable, other than in shares of Common Stock or other securities the Company
may issue) (each such date being referred to herein as a Dividend Payment Date),
commencing on the first Dividend Payment Date on or after March 4, 2009, dividends or
distributions in an amount (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the Conversion Ratio on
the record date for such dividend or distribution times the amount of the cash dividend per
share of Common Stock to be paid on such Dividend Payment Date (and the Conversion Ratio on
the record date for such dividend or distribution times the amount (payable in kind) of the
non-cash dividend or other distribution, other than a dividend payable in shares of Common
Stock or in other securities the Company may issue, to be paid per share of Common Stock on
such Dividend Payment Date), whether or not shares of Series C Preferred Stock are
convertible as of the applicable record date; provided however that if the
aggregate amount of dividends and distributions paid on any Dividend Payment Date with
respect to all shares of Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding would exceed the
Threshold Percentage of the aggregate amount of dividends and distributions paid with
respect to all shares of Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding together with all shares
of Common Stock then outstanding, then the amount of dividends and distributions paid per
share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be reduced pro rata so that the aggregate amount of
dividends and distributions paid on any Dividend Payment Date with respect to all shares of
Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding will not exceed the Threshold Percentage of the
aggregate amount of dividends and distributions paid with respect to all shares of Series C
Preferred Stock then outstanding together with all shares of Common Stock then outstanding.
For the avoidance of doubt, the intent of the foregoing is that the dividends or other
distributions paid to holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock (other than a dividend
payable in shares of Common Stock or other securities the Company may issue) shall equal the
dividends and other distributions that would have been payable with respect to the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such shares of Series C Preferred Stock (whether or
not such shares were convertible as of the applicable record date at the Conversion Ratio),
subject to the foregoing proviso.
The holders of the Series C Preferred Stock agree that, upon the effectiveness of the
Ranking Amendment, the Series C Preferred Stock shall rank junior to the Series D Preferred
Stock as to the payment of dividends and distributions.
(B) The Company shall not declare or pay a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock
(other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or other securities the Company may
issue) unless it simultaneously declares and pays such dividend or distribution on the
Series C Preferred Stock as provided in paragraph (A) of this Section.
(C) The Board of Directors or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors may
fix a record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock
entitled to receive payment of a dividend or distribution declared thereon, which record
date shall be not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for the payment thereof and
shall be the same as the record date for the determination of holders of shares of Common
Stock entitled to receive payment of a concurrent dividend or distribution.
2
(D) Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, if required by law, the Company
(or its agents) shall withhold and backup withhold tax on any payment or distribution on the
Series C Preferred Stock, on the Conversion Securities (or in lieu thereof) and on any
adjustment to the Conversion Ratio. Such withholding shall be treated for all purposes
hereunder as if paid to the holder of such Series C Preferred Stock or Conversion
Securities. The Company (or its agents) may (but is not required to) set-off any tax that
the Company is required to withhold as a result of a change in the Conversion Ratio against
payments of dividends payable on the Series C Preferred Stock and against Conversion
Securities deliverable upon the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock (valued at the
Current Market Price Per Share upon conversion).
Section 3. Voting Rights. The holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall have the
following voting rights:
(A) Each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to a number of
votes equal to the Conversion Ratio as of the applicable record date on all matters
submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company having general voting rights, whether
or not shares of Series C Preferred Stock are convertible as of such record date;
provided however that if the aggregate voting power of the Series C
Preferred Stock on any such matter would exceed the Threshold Percentage of the aggregate
voting power of the stockholders of the Company entitled to vote on such matter as of such
record date, then the voting power per share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be reduced
pro rata so that the aggregate voting power of the Series C Preferred Stock on such matter
will not exceed the Threshold Percentage of the aggregate voting power of the stockholders
of the Company entitled to vote on such matter as of such record date. For the avoidance of
doubt, the intent of the foregoing is that the voting power of the holders of shares of
Series C Preferred Stock on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the
Company having general voting rights shall equal the voting power of the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of such shares of Series C Preferred Stock (whether or not
such shares were convertible as of the applicable record date at the Conversion Ratio),
subject to the foregoing proviso.
(B) Except as otherwise provided herein, or in any other Certificate of Designations
creating a series of Preferred Stock or as required by law, the holders of shares of Series
C Preferred Stock and the holders of shares of Common Stock and any other capital stock of
the Company having general voting rights shall vote together as one class on all matters
submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Company.
Section 4. Certain Restrictions.
(A) No dividend shall be paid upon, or declared or set apart for, any share of Series C
Preferred Stock or any other share of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity with the Series C
Preferred Stock as to dividends unless at the same time a like proportionate dividend,
ratably in proportion to the respective total amounts to which the holders of all such
shares are then entitled, shall be paid upon, or declared and set apart for, all shares of
Series C Preferred Stock and Preferred Stock of all series ranking on a parity as to
3
dividends then issued and outstanding and on which dividends are accrued and payable for all
dividend periods terminating on or prior to the relevant Dividend Payment Date.
(B) In no event, so long as any shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be outstanding,
shall any dividend, whether in cash or property, be paid or declared, nor shall any
distribution be made, on any junior stock, nor shall any shares of any junior stock be
purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for value by the Company, unless all dividends on
the Series C Preferred Stock and any series of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity with the
Series C Preferred Stock as to dividends for all past dividend periods and for the then
current period shall have been paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof
set apart, and unless the Company shall not be in default with respect to any of its
obligations with respect to any past period with respect to any sinking fund for any series
of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity with the Series C Preferred Stock as to dividends.
The foregoing provisions of paragraph (B) of this Section 4 shall not, however, apply to a
dividend payable on any junior stock, or to the acquisition of shares of any junior stock in
exchange for, or through application of the proceeds of the sale of, shares of any other
junior stock.
(C) The Company shall not permit any subsidiary of the Company to purchase or otherwise
acquire for consideration any shares of stock of the Company unless the Company could, under
paragraph (B) of this Section 4 and under the applicable provisions of the Charter, purchase
or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in such manner.
Section 5. Reacquired Shares. Shares of the Series C Preferred Stock that are repurchased
or otherwise acquired by the Company shall revert to authorized but unissued shares of Preferred
Stock (provided that any such cancelled shares of the Series C Preferred Stock may be reissued only
as shares of any series of Preferred Stock other than the Series C Preferred Stock).
Section 6. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. In the event of any voluntary or
involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, before any
distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any junior stock, the holders of the Series
C Preferred Stock and any shares of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity therewith as to liquidation
shall be entitled to be paid in full the respective amounts of the liquidation preferences thereof,
which in the case of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be $5.00 per share, plus an amount equal to
all previously declared and unpaid dividends; provided that the holders of Series C
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive per share of Series C Preferred Stock no less than an
aggregate amount equal to the Conversion Ratio at such time multiplied by the amount to be
distributed per share of Common Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, the intent of the foregoing
proviso is to result in the distributions made to holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock at
least equaling the payments that would have been payable with respect to the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of such shares of Series C Preferred Stock (whether or not such shares
were then convertible at the Conversion Ratio). If such payment shall have been made in full to
holders of the Series C Preferred Stock and any series of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity
therewith as to liquidation, the remaining assets and funds of the Company shall be distributed
among the holders of the junior stock, according to their respective rights and preferences and in
each case according to their respective shares. If, upon
4
any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, the amounts so payable
are not paid in full to the holders of all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock and any
series of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity therewith as to liquidation, the holders of Series C
Preferred Stock and any series of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity therewith as to liquidation
shall share ratably in any distribution of assets in proportion to the full amounts to which they
would otherwise be respectively entitled. Neither the consolidation or merger of the Company, nor
the sale, lease or conveyance of all or a part of its assets, shall be deemed a liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company within the meaning of the foregoing
provisions of this Section 6.
The holders of the Series C Preferred Stock agree that, upon the effectiveness of the Ranking
Amendment, the Series C Preferred Stock shall rank junior to the Series D Preferred Stock as to the
payment of amounts upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.
Section 7. Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case the Company shall enter into any
consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in which the shares of Common Stock are
exchanged for or changed into other stock or securities, cash and/or any other property, then in
any such case each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall at the same time become convertible into
an amount per share (payable in cash or kind, as applicable), equal to the Conversion Ratio at the
effective time multiplied by the aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash and/or any other
property (payable in kind), as the case may be, into which or for which each share of Common Stock
is changed or exchanged.
Section 8. No Redemption; Perpetual. The shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall not be
redeemable, either at the option of the Company or the holders thereof, and are not subject to a
sinking fund. The Series C Preferred Stock has no set redemption or repayment date and does not
have a maturity.
Section 9. Rank. Subject to the second sentence of this Section 9, the Series C Preferred
Stock shall rank, with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets, to the
extent set forth in this Certificate of Designations on a parity with all series of any other class
of the Companys Serial Preferred Stock. The holders of the Series C Preferred Stock agree that,
upon the effectiveness of the Ranking Amendment, the Series C Preferred Stock shall rank junior to
the Series D Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets.
Section 10. Amendment. This Certificate of Designations shall not be amended, modified or
supplemented in any manner that is adverse to the holders of Series C Preferred Stock without the
affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66-2/3% of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred
Stock, voting together as a single class and as a separate class from all other capital stock of
the Company. Neither the Charter nor the bylaws of the Company shall be amended, modified or
supplemented in any manner, including through a merger, consolidation or other transaction or
otherwise, that would materially alter or change the powers, preferences, privileges or rights of
the Series C Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely or in any manner that would eliminate,
impair, interfere with, limit, condition or otherwise modify the right of stockholders to act by
written consent in lieu of a meeting of stockholders, in each case without the affirmative vote of
the holders of at least 66-2/3% of the outstanding shares of Series
5
C Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class and as a separate class from all other capital
stock of the Company. Without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66-2/3% of the
outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class and as a separate
class from all other capital stock of the Company, neither the Charter nor the bylaws of the
Company shall be amended, modified or supplemented in any manner that would eliminate, impair,
interfere with, limit, condition or otherwise modify the provisions, or the rights of stockholders,
relating to the call (including by stockholders) of special meetings of stockholders.
Section 11. Conversion.
(A) (i) Upon the terms and in the manner set forth herein, each share of Series C Preferred
Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time or from time to
time, in whole or in part, commencing on the effective date of the Charter Amendment upon
surrender to the transfer agent which may be maintained for such purpose (the
Conversion Agent) of the certificate(s) for each share to be converted or, if the
shares of Series C Preferred Stock are not in certificated form, upon delivery to the
Conversion Agent of a written Notice of Conversion (the date on which the Conversion Agent
shall have received a written Notice of Conversion and, if applicable, a surrendered
certificate, the Conversion Date), into (x) a number of shares of Common Stock
equal to the Conversion Ratio (it being agreed that if there is more than one class or
series of Common Stock the holder shall be entitled to elect in its sole discretion which
class or series, or combination thereof, shall be issued upon conversion hereof), plus (y)
to the extent the Conversion Date falls on or after the close of business on a record date
(or record dates) for the related payment of dividends and before the relevant payment
date(s), a right to receive on the related payment date an amount in cash equal to the
amount of cash that would have been paid to the holder if the shares of Common Stock
received upon conversion had been outstanding on the record date (unless such dividends or
distributions are payable in kind in which case they shall be so payable), it being
understood and agreed that the Series C Preferred Stock so converted shall not be entitled
to any dividends or distributions with respect to such related payment date. If the Company
shall fail to deliver any of the amounts or property described in clause (y), such failure
shall not affect the validity of the issuance of any securities pursuant to clause (x) and
the Company shall continue to be required to deliver the amounts or property contemplated by
clause (y). Upon conversion by the holder of Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to this
Section 11 and upon receipt of such payments, such holder shall not be entitled to any
future dividends, distributions or other payments otherwise payable on shares of Series C
Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 2 hereof with respect to shares of Series C Preferred
Stock so converted (for the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall affect the right of
such holder to receive dividends on any shares of Common Stock or other securities
deliverable upon conversion of any shares of Series C Preferred Stock, the record date for
which occurs after the Conversion Date).
(ii) In order to convert shares of Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 11, the
holder thereof shall deliver a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Conversion (as
set forth in the form of Series C Perpetual, Convertible, Participating Preferred Stock
certificate attached hereto). Each holder of Series C Preferred Stock shall (A) deliver a
Notice of Conversion to the Conversion Agent specifying the name or
6
names in which such holder wishes to register such shares of Common Stock issuable upon
such conversion on the stock ledger of the Company, (B) if such shares of Series C Preferred
Stock are evidenced by a certificate, surrender the certificate for such shares of Series C
Preferred Stock to the Conversion Agent, accompanied, if so required by the Conversion
Agent, by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to
the Conversion Agent duly executed by the holder or its attorney duly authorized in writing,
or if such shares of Series C Preferred Stock are not evidenced by a certificate, deliver to
the Conversion Agent a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form reasonably
satisfactory to the Conversion Agent duly executed by the holder or its attorney duly
authorized in writing, and (C) subject to Section 11(I) hereof, pay any transfer or similar
tax required hereby; provided that such transfer or similar tax may, at the option
of such holder and in lieu of any payment in cash, be paid through a reduction of the number
of shares of Common Stock received upon such conversion, valued at the Current Market Price
Per Share (as defined herein).
(B) Whenever a holder converts the Series C Preferred Stock in whole or in part, it may
assign its right to receive the Common Stock or Conversion Securities (as defined below)
issuable upon such conversion to any other Person, subject to the provisions of Section
11(I) and Section 13 hereof.
(C) The Company covenants and agrees that all shares of Common Stock or other securities
that may be issued upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock (the Conversion
Securities) will, upon issuance, be validly authorized, issued and outstanding, fully
paid and nonassessable, free of preemptive rights and free from all taxes, liens and charges
with respect to the issuance thereof (other than liens or charges created by the holder of
the Series C Preferred Stock, income and franchise taxes incurred in connection with the
conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock or taxes in connection with any transfer
occurring prior to or contemporaneously therewith).
(D) If the shares of Common Stock or other Conversion Securities are then listed or quoted
on a national securities exchange or a regional securities exchange, all such securities
issuable upon conversion shall, upon issuance, also be so listed or quoted.
(E) The Company will at all times after the effective date of the Charter Amendment while
the Series C Preferred Stock is outstanding (the Conversion Period), have
authorized and reserved solely for purposes of the conversion hereof, free from preemptive
rights, a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock or other Conversion Securities to
provide for the conversion in full of the Series C Preferred Stock. If at any time during
the Conversion Period the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or other
Conversion Securities shall not be sufficient to permit conversion in full of the Series C
Preferred Stock, the Company will as promptly as practicable take such corporate action as
shall be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or other
Conversion Securities to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.
(F) If at any time the Conversion Securities shall include any shares or other securities
other than shares of Common Stock, or any other property or assets, the terms of the
7
Series C Preferred Stock shall be modified or supplemented (and in the absence of express
written documentation thereof, shall be deemed to be so modified or supplemented), and the
Company shall take all actions as may be necessary to preserve, in a manner and on terms as
nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions of the Series C Preferred Stock as they
apply to the Common Stock, the rights of the holder hereof, including any equitable
replacements of the term Common Stock with the term Conversion Securities and
adjustments of any formula included herein.
(G) The Company will not, by amendment of its Charter, bylaws or other governing documents
or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue
or sale of securities or any other action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or
performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but
will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of the
Series C Preferred Stock and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or
appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the holder against impairment or
dilution consistent with the intent and principles expressed herein. If any event or
occurrence shall occur (including without limitation, stock dividends and stock splits) as
to which the failure to make any adjustment to the Number of Outstanding Shares, the
Conversion Ratio and/or the number of shares or other assets or property issuable upon
conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock would adversely affect the conversion rights or
value represented by the Series C Preferred Stock, including any issuance of Common Stock or
Participating Securities, then, in each such case, the Board of Directors, acting in good
faith, shall determine the adjustment, if any, on a basis consistent with the essential
intent and principles herein, necessary to preserve, without dilution, the conversion rights
and value represented by the Series C Preferred Stock. Notice of each such determination
shall be given to each holder of the Series C Preferred Stock within 10 days of such
determination in the manner set forth in Section 17. For so long as the Trust holds any
shares of Series C Preferred Stock, the trustees of the Trust may object in writing to the
Board of Directors determination within 10 Business Days of receipt of written notice
thereof. If the Board of Directors and the trustees of the Trust are unable to agree on the
adjustment during the 10-Business Day period following the delivery of the trustees
objection, the Appraisal Procedure may be invoked by either party to determine the
adjustment by delivery of a written notification thereof not later than the 30th
day after delivery of the trustees objection. Appraisal Procedure means a
procedure whereby two independent appraisers, one chosen by the Board of Directors and one
by the trustees of the Trust, shall mutually agree upon the adjustment. Each party shall
deliver a notice to the other appointing its appraiser within 10 days after the Appraisal
Procedure is invoked. If within 30 days after appointment of the two appraisers they are
unable to agree upon the adjustment, a third independent appraiser shall be chosen within 10
days thereafter by the mutual consent of such first two appraisers. The decision of the
third appraiser so appointed and chosen shall be given within 30 days after the selection of
such third appraiser. If three appraisers shall be appointed and the determination of one
appraiser is disparate from the middle determination by more than twice the amount or
number, as applicable, by which the other determination is disparate from the middle
determination, then the determination of such appraiser shall be excluded, the remaining two
determinations shall be averaged and such average shall be binding and conclusive upon the
Company and the holders of the
8
Series C Preferred Stock; otherwise, the average of all three determinations shall be
binding upon the Company and the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock. The costs of
conducting any Appraisal Procedure shall be borne by the Company. Without limiting the
foregoing, in the event of any dividend or distribution by the Company of assets or property
(including shares of any other Person) on or with respect to the Common Stock, or any
exchange of the shares of Common Stock into any other assets, property or securities, the
Series C Preferred Stock will be equitably adjusted to permit the holder to receive upon
conversion the assets, property or securities that would have been received if the Series C
Preferred Stock had been converted immediately prior to the earlier of the record date and
the effective date for such dividend, distribution or exchange.
(H) In the event (i) the Company takes a record of the holders of any class of securities
for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend
or other distribution, (ii) the Company authorizes the granting to the holders of Common
Stock (or holders of any other class of Conversion Securities) of rights to subscribe to or
purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or securities convertible into any shares
of capital stock or of any other right, (iii) the Company authorizes any reclassification
of, or any recapitalization involving, any class of Common Stock or any consolidation or
merger to which the Company is a party and for which approval of the stockholders of the
Company is required, or of the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of
the Company, (iv) the Company authorizes or consents to or otherwise commences the voluntary
or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company or (v) the Company
authorizes or takes any other action that would trigger an adjustment in the Number of
Outstanding Shares, the Conversion Ratio or the number or amount of shares of Common Stock
or other Conversion Securities issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock, the
Company shall mail to the holder, at least ten (10) days prior to the earlier of the record
date for any such action or stockholder vote and the date of such action, a notice
specifying (a) which action is to be taken and the date on which any such record is to be
taken for the purpose of any such action, (b) the date that any such action is to take place
and (c) the amount and character of any stock, other securities or property, or rights or
options with respect thereto, proposed to be issued, granted or delivered to each holder of
Common Stock (or holders of any other class of Conversion Securities).
(I) The initial issuance of Common Stock upon any conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock
shall be made without charge to the exercising holder for any transfer, stamp or similar tax
or for any other governmental charges that may be imposed in connection with the issuance of
such stock, and such stock shall be issued in the respective names of, or in such names as
may be directed by, the holder; provided, however, that the Company shall
not be required to pay any tax or such other charges that may be payable in connection with
any transfer involved in the issuance of any such stock, any new shares of Series C
Preferred Stock or other securities in a name other than that of the holder upon conversion
of the Series C Preferred Stock, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver
such stock or other securities unless and until the Person or Persons requesting the
issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have
established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid or is not
payable.
9
(J) If a share of Series C Preferred Stock in certificated form is lost, stolen, mutilated
or destroyed, the Company shall, on reasonable and customary terms as to indemnity or other
customary administrative matters (which shall, in the case of a mutilated share, include the
surrender thereof), issue a new share of Series C Preferred Stock of like number as the
share so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed. Any such new share shall constitute an
original share, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed security
shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.
(K) The Company will at no time close its transfer books during normal business hours on any
Business Day against the transfer of any shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the
conversion of any Series C Preferred Stock in any manner that interferes with the timely
conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock.
(L) Conversion Mechanics.
(i) A conversion shall be deemed to have been effected at the close of business on the
Conversion Date. Immediately upon conversion, the rights of the holders of Series C
Preferred Stock converted on the Conversion Date shall cease and the persons entitled to
receive the shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of such shares of Series C Preferred
Stock shall be treated for all purposes as having become the record and beneficial owners of
such shares of Common Stock.
(ii) As promptly as practicable after the Conversion Date (and in no event more than
two (2) Business Days thereafter), the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered at the
office or agency of the Conversion Agent, to, or upon the written order of, the holders of
the surrendered shares of Series C Preferred Stock, a notice pursuant to direct registration
that a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock have been registered on
the books and records of the Company, with no personal liability attaching to the ownership
thereof, free of all taxes with respect to the issuance thereof to the extent provided in
Section 11(A) and (I), liens, charges and security interests (other than liens or charges
created by the holder of the Series C Preferred Stock, income and franchise taxes incurred
in connection with the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock or taxes in connection
with any transfer occurring prior to or contemporaneously therewith) and not subject to any
preemptive rights, into which such shares of Series C Preferred Stock have been converted in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 11 and any cash payable in respect of
fractional shares as provided herein. On the relevant payment date following the Conversion
Date, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered at the office or agency of the
Conversion Agent, to, or upon the written order of, the holders of the surrendered shares of
Series C Preferred Stock, the amount of cash or other property, if any, due in respect of
dividends or other distributions on such surrendered shares, as provided in Section
11(A)(i)(y), payable, in the case of cash dividends or distributions (i) if the holder is
the Trust, in immediately available funds, at such account designated by the holder or (ii)
otherwise by check delivered to the holder at its address as set forth on the books and
records of the Company.
(iii) Upon the surrender of a certificate representing shares of Series C Preferred
Stock that is converted in part, the Company shall deliver or cause to be
10
delivered to the holder a notice that shares of Series C Preferred Stock equal in
number to the unconverted shares of Series C Preferred Stock represented by the certificate
so surrendered have been registered on the books and records of the Company.
(M) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional
shares of Common Stock or other Conversion Securities shall be issued upon the conversion of
any shares of Series C Preferred Stock. Instead of any fractional interest in a share of
Common Stock or other Conversion Security that would otherwise be deliverable upon the
conversion of a share of Series C Preferred Stock, the Company shall pay to the holder of
such share of Series C Preferred Stock an amount in cash (computed to the nearest cent)
equal to the product of (i) such fraction and (ii) the Current Market Price Per Share on the
Trading Day (as defined below) next preceding the day of conversion. For the purposes of
any computation under this Section 11, the Current Market Price Per Share of the
Common Stock or any other security on any Trading Day shall be deemed to be the volume
weighted average sales price of the Common Stock or such other security on the New York
Stock Exchange on such Trading Day (or, if the Common Stock or such other security is not
listed on the New York Stock Exchange, such other national or regional exchange or market in
the United States on which the Common Stock or such other security is then listed or quoted)
or, if the Common Stock or such other security is not listed or quoted on a national or
regional exchange or market, the last quoted price or, if not so quoted, the average of the
high bid and low asked prices on such other nationally recognized quotation system then in
use in the United States on such Trading Day, or, if the Common Stock or such other security
is not quoted on any such quotation system, the average of the closing bid and asked prices
on such Trading Day as furnished by a professional market maker selected by the Board of
Directors in good faith making a market in the Common Stock or such other security. Any
determination of Current Market Price Per Share shall be made without reference to extended
or after hours trading.
Section 12. Form.
(A) Series C Preferred Stock shall be initially issued in the form of one or more
certificates in definitive, fully registered form with, until such time as otherwise
determined by the Company and the Registrar, the restricted shares legend (the
Restricted Shares Legend), as set forth on the form of Series C Perpetual,
Convertible, Participating Preferred Stock certificate attached hereto as Exhibit A (each, a
Preferred Share Certificate), which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a
part of this Certificate of Designations. The Preferred Share Certificate may have
notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rules, agreements to
which the Company is subject, if any, or usage (provided that any such notation,
legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Company).
(B) (i) An Officer shall sign the Preferred Share Certificate for the Company, in accordance
with the Companys bylaws and applicable law, by manual or facsimile signature.
11
(ii) If an Officer whose signature is on a Preferred Share Certificate no longer holds
that office at the time the Transfer Agent authenticates such Preferred Share Certificate,
such Preferred Share Certificate shall be valid nevertheless.
(iii) A Preferred Share Certificate shall not be valid or obligatory until an
authorized signatory of the Transfer Agent manually countersigns the Preferred Share
Certificate. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that such Preferred Share
Certificate has been authenticated under this Certificate of Designations. Each Preferred
Share Certificate shall be dated the date of its authentication.
(C) Other than upon original issuance, all transfers, conversions and exchanges of the
Series C Preferred Stock shall be made by direct registration on the books and records of
the Company.
Section 13. Registration; Transfer.
(A) The Series C Preferred Stock and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares
of Series C Preferred Stock have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be
resold, pledged or otherwise transferred other than (i) pursuant to an exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144 thereunder, (ii) in
accordance with another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act,
(iii) to the Company or a subsidiary thereof, or (iv) pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act, in each case, in accordance with any applicable
securities laws of any state of the United States.
(B) Except in connection with a transfer pursuant to an effective registration statement
relating to the Series C Preferred Stock and shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion
of the Series C Preferred Stock, if shares of Series C Preferred Stock are issued upon the
transfer, exchange or replacement of Series C Preferred Stock bearing the Restricted Shares
Legend, or if a request is made to remove such Restricted Shares Legend on shares of Series
C Preferred Stock, the Series C Preferred Stock so issued shall be subject to the transfer
restrictions set forth in the Restricted Shares Legend and such restrictions shall continue
to apply unless there is delivered to the Company and the Registrar such satisfactory
evidence, which may include an opinion of counsel licensed to practice law in the State of
New York, as may be reasonably required by the Company or the Registrar, that such
restrictions on transfer are not required to ensure that transfers thereof comply with the
provisions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act or that such shares of Series C Preferred
Stock are not restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities
Act. Upon provision of such satisfactory evidence, the Registrar, at the direction of the
Company, shall notify the holder that such shares of Series C Preferred Stock are no longer
subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the Restricted Shares Legend.
(C) The Company will refuse to register any transfer of Series C Preferred Stock or any
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock that is not
made in accordance with the provisions of the Restricted Shares Legend and pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to Rule 144 or
12
another available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act;
provided that the provisions of this paragraph (C) shall not be applicable to any
Series C Preferred Stock that is not subject to the restrictions set forth in the Restricted
Shares Legend or to any Common Stock that is not subject to the Common Stock Legend. In
order to transfer shares of Series C Preferred Stock subject to the Restricted Shares
Legend, the holder of such shares must deliver to the Registrar a certificate in
substantially the form of Exhibit B as to compliance with the restrictions on transfer
applicable to such Series C Preferred Stock and the Registrar shall not be required to
register any transfer of such Series C Preferred Stock not so accompanied by a properly
completed certificate.
(D) Each notice of issuance of Common Stock issued upon a conversion of the Series C
Preferred Stock prior to the transfer of such Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to Rule 144
or an effective registration statement relating to such Series C Preferred Stock shall be
subject to the common stock legend (the Common Stock Legend) set forth in Exhibit
C hereto and be transferable only in accordance with the Form of Certificate of Transfer for
Common Stock set out in Exhibit D. If shares of Common Stock subject to the Common Stock
Legend are transferred by such holder, then the holder must deliver to the Registrar a
certificate in substantially the form of Exhibit D as to compliance with the restrictions on
transfer applicable to such Common Stock and the Registrar shall not be required to register
any transfer of such Common Stock not so accompanied by a properly completed certificate.
Upon the presentation of satisfactory evidence that the transfer restrictions set forth in
Common Stock Legend are no longer required as described above in paragraph (B) of this
Section with respect to the Series C Preferred Stock, the Registrar, at the direction of the
Company, shall notify the holder that such shares of Common Stock are no longer subject to
the transfer restrictions set forth in the Common Stock Legend.
(E) The Company will refuse to register any transfer of the Series C Preferred Stock or the
Conversion Securities unless the transferor first pays all transfer taxes or similar taxes
required to be paid on such transfer.
Section 14. Transfer Agent, Conversion Agent and Registrar. The duly appointed Transfer
Agent, Conversion Agent and Registrar for the Series C Preferred Stock shall be Wells Fargo Bank,
N.A. The Company may, in its sole discretion, remove the Transfer Agent in accordance with the
agreement between the Company and the Transfer Agent; provided that the Company shall
appoint a successor transfer agent who shall accept such appointment prior to the effectiveness of
such removal.

rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers or relative, participating, optional or other
special rights, or qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, other than as set forth
herein or in the Charter, the bylaws of the Company or as provided by applicable law.
Section 16. Record Holders. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company
and the Transfer Agent for Series C Preferred Stock may deem and treat the record holder of any
13
share of the Series C Preferred Stock as the true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and
neither the Company nor such Transfer Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
Section 17. Notices. All notices or communications in respect of the Series C Preferred
Stock shall be sufficiently given if given in writing and delivered in person or by first class
mail, postage prepaid, or given in such other manner as may be permitted in this Certificate of
Designations, in the Charter, the bylaws of the Company or by applicable law. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if shares of the Series C Preferred Stock are issued in book-entry form through The
Depository Trust Company or any similar facility, such notices may be given to the holders of the
Series C Preferred Stock in any manner permitted by such facility.
Section 18. No Preemptive Rights. No holder of any share of Series C Preferred Stock shall
be entitled as of right to subscribe for, purchase or receive any shares of stock of any class or
any other securities which the Company may issue, whether now or hereafter authorized, and whether
such stock or securities be issued for money or for a consideration other than money or by way of a
dividend and all such shares of stock or other securities may be issued or disposed of by the Board

such matter.
Section 3. Dividends.
(a) Rate. Holders of the Series E Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, on
each share of the Series E Preferred Stock if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors or
any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors, but only out of assets legally available
therefor, non-cumulative cash dividends with respect to each Dividend Period (as defined below) at
a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Dividend Rate on the Liquidation Amount per share of the
Series E Preferred Stock. Such dividends shall be payable quarterly in arrears, but only if, as
and when declared by the Board of Directors or any duly authorized committee of the Board of
Directors, on each Dividend Payment Date, commencing with the first such Dividend Payment Date to
occur at least 20 calendar days after the Original Issue Date. In the event that any Dividend
Payment Date would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day, the dividend payment due on
that date will be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day and no additional dividends
shall be payable nor shall interest accrue on the amount payable as a result of that postponement.
The period from and including any Dividend Payment Date to, but excluding, the next Dividend
Payment Date is a Dividend Period; provided that the initial Dividend Period shall be the
period from and including the Original Issue Date to, but excluding, the next Dividend Payment
Date.
Dividends that are payable on Series E Preferred Stock in respect of any Dividend Period shall
be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The amount of
dividends payable on Series E Preferred Stock on any date prior to the end of a Dividend Period,
and for the initial Dividend Period, shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of
twelve 30-day months, and actual days elapsed over a 30-day month.
Dividends that are payable on Series E Preferred Stock on any Dividend Payment Date will be
payable to holders of record of the Series E Preferred Stock as they appear on the stock
A-2
register of the Company on the applicable record date, which shall be the 15th calendar day
immediately preceding such Dividend Payment Date or such other record date fixed by the Board of
Directors or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors that is not more than 60 nor
less than 10 days prior to such Dividend Payment Date (each, a Dividend Record Date). Any
such day that is a Dividend Record Date shall be a Dividend Record Date whether or not such day is
a Business Day.
Dividends on the Series E Preferred Stock shall not be cumulative. Holders of Series E
Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to receive any dividends not declared by the Board of
Directors or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors, and no interest, or sum of
money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any dividend not so declared. If the
Board of Directors does not declare a dividend on the Series E Preferred Stock to be payable in
respect of any Dividend Period before the related Dividend Payment Date, such dividend will not
accrue and the Company will have no obligation to pay a dividend for that Dividend Period on the
Dividend Payment Date or at any future time, whether or not dividends on the Series E Preferred
Stock are declared for any future Dividend Period. Holders of the Series E Preferred Stock shall
not be entitled to any dividends, whether payable in cash, securities or other property, other than
dividends (if any) declared and payable on the Series E Preferred Stock as specified in this
Section 3 (subject to the other provisions of the Certificate of Designations).
(b) Priority of Dividends. So long as any share of the Series E Preferred Stock
remains outstanding, no dividend or distribution shall be declared or paid on the Common Stock or
any other shares of Junior Stock (other than dividends payable solely in shares of Common Stock) or
Parity Stock, subject to the immediately following paragraph in the case of Parity Stock, and no
Common Stock, Junior Stock or Parity Stock shall be, directly or indirectly, purchased, redeemed or
otherwise acquired for consideration by the Company or any of its subsidiaries unless dividends for
the latest completed Dividend Period on all outstanding shares of the Series E Preferred Stock have
been or are contemporaneously declared and paid in full (or have been declared and a sum sufficient
for the payment thereof has been set aside for the benefit of the holders of shares of the Series E
Preferred Stock on the applicable record date). The foregoing limitation shall not apply to (i) a
dividend payable on any Junior Stock in shares of any other Junior Stock, or to the acquisition of
shares of any Junior Stock in exchange for, or through application of the proceeds of the sale of,
shares of any other Junior Stock; (ii) redemptions, purchases or other acquisitions of shares of
Common Stock or other Junior Stock in connection with the administration of any employee benefit
plan in the ordinary course of business (including purchases to offset the Share Dilution Amount
(as defined below) pursuant to a publicly announced repurchase plan) and consistent with past
practice; provided that any purchases to offset the Share Dilution Amount shall in no event exceed
the Share Dilution Amount; (iii) any dividends or distributions of rights or Junior Stock in
connection with a stockholders rights plan or any redemption or repurchase of rights pursuant to
any stockholders rights plan; (iv) the acquisition by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of
record ownership in Junior Stock or Parity Stock for the beneficial ownership of any other persons
(other than the Company or any of its subsidiaries), including as trustees or custodians; (v) the
conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock into Common Stock; (vi) the exchange or conversion of
Junior Stock (other than the Convertible Preferred Stock) for or into other Junior Stock or of
Parity Stock for or into other Parity Stock (with the same or lesser aggregate liquidation amount)
or
A-3
Junior Stock, in each case, solely to the extent required pursuant to binding contractual
agreements entered into prior to the Signing Date or any subsequent agreement for the accelerated
exercise, settlement or exchange thereof for Common Stock; and (vii) any purchase, redemption or
other acquisition with the written consent of the UST. Share Dilution Amount means the
increase in the number of diluted shares outstanding (determined in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States, and as measured from the date of the Companys
consolidated financial statements most recently filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
prior to the Original Issue Date) resulting from the grant, vesting or exercise of equity-based
compensation to employees and equitably adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock
split, reclassification or similar transaction.
When dividends are not paid (or declared and a sum sufficient for payment thereof set aside
for the benefit of the holders thereof on the applicable record date) on any Dividend Payment Date
(or, in the case of Parity Stock having dividend payment dates different from the Dividend Payment
Dates, on a dividend payment date falling within a Dividend Period related to such Dividend Payment
Date) in full on shares of the Series E Preferred Stock and any shares of Parity Stock, all
dividends declared on the Series E Preferred Stock and all such Parity Stock and payable on such
Dividend Payment Date (or, in the case of Parity Stock having dividend payment dates different from
the Dividend Payment Dates, on a dividend payment date falling within the Dividend Period related
to such Dividend Payment Date) shall be declared pro rata so that the respective amounts of such
dividends declared shall bear the same ratio to each other as all declared but unpaid dividends per
share on the shares of the Series E Preferred Stock and all Parity Stock payable on such Dividend
Payment Date (or, in the case of Parity Stock having dividend payment dates different from the
Dividend Payment Dates, on a dividend payment date falling within the Dividend Period related to
such Dividend Payment Date) (subject to their having been declared by the Board of Directors or a
duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors out of legally available funds and including,
in the case of Parity Stock that bears cumulative dividends, all accrued but unpaid dividends) bear
to each other. If the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors
determines not to pay any dividend or a full dividend on a Dividend Payment Date, the Company will
provide written notice to the holders of the Series E Preferred Stock prior to such Dividend
Payment Date.
Subject to the foregoing, and not otherwise, such dividends (payable in cash, securities or
other property) as may be determined by the Board of Directors or any duly authorized committee of
the Board of Directors may be declared and paid on any securities, including Common Stock and other
Junior Stock, from time to time out of any funds legally available for such payment, and holders of
the Series E Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to participate in any such dividends.
Section 4. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. In the event of any voluntary or
involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, before any
distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of Junior Stock, the holders of the Series E
Preferred Stock and any shares of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity therewith as to liquidation
shall be entitled to be paid in full the respective amounts of the liquidation preferences thereof,
which in the case of the Series E Preferred Stock shall be $104,011.44 per share, plus an amount
equal to all dividends, if any, that have been declared but not paid prior to such distribution or
A-4
payment date (but without any accumulation in respect of dividends that have not been declared
prior to such distribution or payment date). If such payment shall have been made in full to the
holders of the Series E Preferred Stock and any series of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity
therewith as to liquidation, the remaining assets and funds of the Company shall be distributed
among the holders of Junior Stock, according to their respective rights and preferences and in each
case according to their respective shares. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the affairs of the Company, the amounts so payable are not paid in full to the holders of all
outstanding shares of the Series E Preferred Stock and any series of Preferred Stock ranking on a
parity therewith as to liquidation, the holders of the Series E Preferred Stock and any series of
Preferred Stock ranking on a parity therewith as to liquidation shall share ratably in any
distribution of assets in proportion to the full amounts to which they would otherwise be
respectively entitled. Neither the consolidation or merger of the Company, nor the sale, lease or
conveyance of all or a part of its assets, shall be deemed a liquidation, dissolution or winding up
of the affairs of the Company within the meaning of the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.
Section 5. Redemption.
(a) Optional Redemption. Except as provided in this Section 5(a), the Series E
Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable. At any time that (i) the Trust (or any successor entity
established for the sole benefit of the United States Treasury) beneficially owns less than 30%
of the aggregate voting power of the Companys voting securities and (ii) no holder of the Series E
Preferred Stock controls the Company, the Company may redeem, in whole or in part, at any time and
from time to time, out of funds legally available therefor, the shares of the Series E Preferred
Stock at the time outstanding, upon notice given as provided in Section 5(c) below, the Series E
Preferred Stock in whole or in part at a redemption price per share equal to 100% of its
Liquidation Amount, plus, for purposes of the redemption price only and except as set forth in the
last sentence of the next paragraph, an amount equal to all declared but unpaid dividends for the
then current Dividend Period to such redemption date (regardless of whether any dividends are
actually declared for that Dividend Period). Control for purposes of this Section 5(a)
means the power to direct the management and policies of the Company, directly or indirectly,
whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, by the power to control the Board
of Directors or otherwise. Beneficially owns for purposes of this Section 5(a) is defined
in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended to the Signing Date. For the
avoidance of doubt, while there is Board of Directors control (or the potential to gain Board of
Directors control as a result of existing contractual rights) by any holder of the Series E
Preferred Stock, the Company may not redeem any of the Series E Preferred Stock.
The redemption price for any shares of the Series E Preferred Stock shall be payable on the
redemption date to the holder of such shares against surrender of the certificate(s) evidencing
such shares to the Company or its agent. Any declared but unpaid dividends payable on a redemption
date that occurs subsequent to the Dividend Record Date for a Dividend Period shall not be paid to
the holder entitled to receive the redemption price on the redemption date, but rather shall be
paid to the holder of record of the redeemed shares on such Dividend Record Date relating to the
Dividend Payment Date as provided in Section 3 above.
A-5
(b) No Sinking Fund. The Series E Preferred Stock will not be subject to any mandatory
redemption, sinking fund or other similar provisions. Holders of the Series E Preferred Stock will
have no right to require redemption or repurchase of any shares of the Series E Preferred Stock.
(c) Notice of Redemption. Notice of every redemption of shares of the Series E
Preferred Stock shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the holders of
record of the shares to be redeemed at their respective last addresses appearing on the books of
the Company. Such mailing shall be at least 30 days and not more than 60 days before the date fixed
for redemption. Any notice mailed as provided in this subsection (c) shall be conclusively presumed
to have been duly given, whether or not the holder receives such notice, but failure duly to give
such notice by mail, or any defect in such notice or in the mailing thereof, to any holder of
shares of the Series E Preferred Stock designated for redemption shall not affect the validity of
the proceedings for the redemption of any other shares of the Series E Preferred Stock.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if shares of the Series E Preferred Stock are issued in book-entry
form through The Depository Trust Company or any other similar facility, notice of redemption may
be given to the holders of the Series E Preferred Stock at such time and in any manner permitted by
such facility. Each notice of redemption given to a holder shall state: (1) the redemption date;
(2) the number of shares of the Series E Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if less than all the
shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such
holder; (3) the redemption price; and (4) the place or places where certificates for such shares
are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price, but failure duly to give such notice to
any holder of shares of the Series E Preferred Stock designated for redemption or any defect in
such notice shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other shares
of the Series E Preferred Stock.
(d) Partial Redemption. In case of any redemption of part of the shares of the Series
E Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, the shares to be redeemed shall be selected either pro
rata or in such other manner as the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof may
determine to be fair and equitable. Subject to the provisions hereof, the Board of Directors or a
duly authorized committee thereof shall have full power and authority to prescribe the terms and
conditions upon which shares of the Series E Preferred Stock shall be redeemed from time to time.
If fewer than all the shares represented by any certificate are redeemed, at the election of each
holder, either (i) a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares without
charge to such holder thereof or (ii) upon surrender of a certificate representing any unredeemed
shares of Series E Preferred Stock, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to such
holder a notice that shares of Series E Preferred Stock equal in number to the unredeemed shares of
Series E Preferred Stock represented by the certificate so surrendered have been registered on the
books and records of the Company.
(e) Effectiveness of Redemption. If notice of redemption has been duly given and if on
or before the redemption date specified in the notice all funds necessary for the redemption have
been deposited by the Company, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the shares
called for redemption, with a bank or trust company doing business in the Borough of Manhattan, The
City of New York, and having a capital and surplus of at least $500 million and selected by the
Board of Directors, so as to be and continue to be available solely therefor, then,
A-6
notwithstanding that any certificate (if the shares of Series E Preferred Stock are not in
book-entry form) for any share so called for redemption has not been surrendered for cancellation,
on and after the redemption date dividends shall cease to accrue on all shares so called for
redemption, all shares so called for redemption shall no longer be deemed outstanding and all
rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith on such redemption date cease and terminate,
except only the right of the holders thereof to receive the amount payable on such redemption from
such bank or trust company, without interest. Any funds unclaimed at the end of three years from
the redemption date shall, to the extent permitted by law, be released to the Company, after which
time the holders of the shares so called for redemption shall look only to the Company for payment
of the redemption price of such shares.
(f) Status of Redeemed Shares. Shares of the Series E Preferred Stock that are
redeemed, repurchased or otherwise acquired by the Company shall revert to authorized but unissued
shares of the Series E Preferred Stock (provided that any such cancelled shares of the Series E
Preferred Stock may be reissued only as shares of any series of the Preferred Stock other than the
Series E Preferred Stock).
Section 6. Conversion. Holders of the Series E Preferred Stock shares shall have no
right to exchange or convert such shares into any other securities.
Section 7. Voting Rights.
(a) General. The holders of the Series E Preferred Stock shall not have any voting
rights except as set forth below or as otherwise from time to time required by law.
(b) Series E Preferred Stock Directors. Whenever, at any time or times, dividends
payable on the shares of the Series E Preferred Stock have not been paid for an aggregate of four
quarterly Dividend Periods or more, whether or not consecutive (including for this purpose the
period during which the Series D Preferred Stock was outstanding), the authorized number of
directors of the Company shall automatically be increased to accommodate the number of the
Preferred Directors specified below and the holders of the Series E Preferred Stock shall have the
right, with holders of shares of any one or more other classes or series of Voting Parity Stock
outstanding at the time, voting together as a class, to elect the greater of two directors and a
number of directors (rounded upward) equal to 20% of the total number of directors of the Company
after giving effect to such election (hereinafter the Preferred Directors and each a
Preferred Director) to fill such newly created directorships at the Companys next annual
meeting of stockholders (or at a special meeting called for that purpose prior to such next annual
meeting) and at each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders until dividends payable on all
outstanding shares of the Series E Preferred Stock have been declared and paid in full for four
consecutive quarterly Dividend Periods, at which time such right shall terminate with respect to
the Series E Preferred Stock, except as herein or by law expressly provided, subject to revesting
in the event of each and every subsequent payment failure of the character above mentioned;
provided that it shall be a qualification for election for any Preferred Director that the election
of such Preferred Director shall not cause the Company to violate any corporate governance
requirements of any securities exchange or other trading facility on which securities of the
Company may then be listed or traded that listed or traded companies must have a majority of
A-7
independent directors. Upon any termination of the right of the holders of shares of the
Series E Preferred Stock and Voting Parity Stock as a class to vote for directors as provided
above, the Preferred Directors shall cease to be qualified as directors, the term of office of all
Preferred Directors then in office shall terminate immediately and the authorized number of
directors shall be reduced by the number of the Preferred Directors elected pursuant hereto. Any
Preferred Director may be removed at any time, with or without cause, and any vacancy created
thereby may be filled, only by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of
the Series E Preferred Stock at the time outstanding voting separately as a class together with the
holders of shares of Voting Parity Stock, to the extent the voting rights of such holders described
above are then exercisable. If the office of any Preferred Director becomes vacant for any reason
other than removal from office as aforesaid, the remaining Preferred Director may choose a
successor who shall hold office for the unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy occurred.
(c) Class Voting Rights as to Particular Matters. So long as any shares of the Series
E Preferred Stock are outstanding, in addition to any other vote or consent of stockholders
required by law or by the Charter, the vote or consent of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the
shares of the Series E Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, voting as a separate class, given
in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the
purpose, shall be necessary for effecting or validating:
(i) Authorization of Senior or Pari Passu Stock. Any amendment or alteration
of the Certificate of Designations for the Series E Preferred Stock or the Charter
(including any amendment to the Charter effectuated by a Certificate of Designations) to
authorize or create or increase the authorized amount of, or any issuance of, any shares of,
or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of, any class
or series of capital stock of the Company ranking senior to or pari passu with the Series E
Preferred Stock with respect to either or both the payment of dividends and/or the
distribution of assets on any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (the
Senior or Pari Passu Securities); provided, however, that the voting rights
provided in this Section 7(c)(i) shall not apply to any amendment or alteration of the
Charter (including any amendment to the Charter effectuated by a Certificate of
Designations) to authorize or create or increase the authorized amount of, or any issuance
of, any Senior or Pari Passu Securities initially issued to the UST;
(ii) Amendment of the Series E Preferred Stock. Any amendment, alteration or
repeal of any provision of the Certificate of Designations for the Series E Preferred Stock
or the Charter (including, unless no vote on such merger or consolidation is required by
Section 7(c)(iii) below, any amendment, alteration or repeal by means of a merger,
consolidation or otherwise) so as to adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or
voting powers of the Series E Preferred Stock; or
(iii) Share Exchanges, Reclassifications, Mergers and Consolidations. Any
consummation of a binding share exchange or reclassification involving the Series E
Preferred Stock, or of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another
corporation or other entity, unless in each case (x) the shares of the Series E Preferred
Stock remain outstanding and are not amended in any respect or, in the case of any such
A-8
merger or consolidation with respect to which the Company is not the surviving or
resulting entity, are converted into or exchanged for preference securities of the surviving
or resulting entity or its ultimate parent, and (y) such shares remaining outstanding or
such preference securities, as the case may be, have such rights, preferences, privileges
and voting powers, and limitations and restrictions thereof, taken as a whole, as are not
materially less favorable to the holders thereof than the rights, preferences, privileges
and voting powers, and limitations and restrictions thereof, of the Series E Preferred Stock
immediately prior to such consummation, taken as a whole;
provided, however, that for all purposes of this Section 7(c), any increase in the amount of the
authorized Preferred Stock, including any increase in the authorized amount of the Series E
Preferred Stock necessary to satisfy preemptive or similar rights granted by the Company to other
persons prior to the Signing Date, or the creation and issuance, or an increase in the authorized
or issued amount, whether pursuant to preemptive or similar rights or otherwise, of any other
series of the Preferred Stock, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable
for any other series of the Preferred Stock, ranking pari passu with (if such securities are issued
to the UST) or junior to the Series E Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends
(whether such dividends are cumulative or non-cumulative) and the distribution of assets upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company will not be deemed to adversely affect the
rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers, and shall not require the affirmative vote or
consent of, the holders of outstanding shares of the Series E Preferred Stock.
(d) Changes after Provision for Redemption. No vote or consent of the holders of the
Series E Preferred Stock shall be required pursuant to Section 7(c) above if, at or prior to the
time when any such vote or consent would otherwise be required pursuant to such Section, all
outstanding shares of the Series E Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed, or shall have been
called for redemption upon proper notice and sufficient funds shall have been deposited in trust
for such redemption, in each case pursuant to Section 5 above.

conducting any meeting of the holders of the Series E Preferred Stock (including, without
limitation, the fixing of a record date in connection therewith), the solicitation and use of
proxies at such a meeting, the obtaining of written consents and any other aspect or matter with
regard to such a meeting or such consents shall be governed by any rules that the Board of

Bylaws, and applicable law and the rules of any national securities exchange or other trading
facility on which Series E Preferred Stock is listed or traded at the time.

shares of the Series E Preferred Stock are issued in book-entry form through The Depository Trust
Company or any similar facility, such notices may be given to the holders of the Series E Preferred
Stock in any manner permitted by such facility.
Section 10. No Preemptive Rights. No holder of the Series E Preferred Stock shall be
entitled as a matter of right to subscribe for or purchase, or have any preemptive right with
respect to, any part of any new or additional issue of stock of any class whatsoever, or of

and whether issued for cash or other consideration or by way of dividend.

each share of the Series F Preferred Stock if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors or
any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors, but only out of assets legally available
therefor, non-cumulative cash dividends with respect to each Dividend Period (as defined below) at

only if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors or any duly authorized committee of the
Board of Directors, on each Dividend Payment Date, commencing with the first such Dividend Payment
Date to occur at least 20 calendar days after the Original Issue Date. In the event that any
Dividend Payment Date would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day, the dividend
payment due on that date will be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day and no additional
dividends shall be payable nor shall interest accrue on the amount payable as a result of that
postponement. The period from and including any Dividend Record Date to, but excluding, the next
Dividend Record Date is a Dividend Period (it being understood that the Dividend Period

of the Company on the applicable record date, which shall be the 15th calendar day immediately
preceding such Dividend Payment Date or such other record date fixed by the Board of Directors or
any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors that is not more than 60 nor less than 10
days prior to such Dividend Payment Date (each, a Dividend Record Date). Any such day
that is a Dividend Record Date shall be a Dividend Record Date whether or not such day is a
Business Day.
Dividends on the Series F Preferred Stock shall not be cumulative. Holders of Series F
Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to receive any dividends not declared by the Board of
Directors or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors, and no interest, or sum of
money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any dividend not so declared. If the
Board of Directors does not declare a dividend on the Series F Preferred Stock to be payable in
respect of any Dividend Period before the related Dividend Payment Date, such dividend will not
accrue and the Company will have no obligation to pay a dividend for that Dividend Period on the
Dividend Payment Date or at any future time, whether or not dividends on the Series F Preferred
Stock are declared for any future Dividend Period. Holders of the Series F Preferred Stock shall
not be entitled to any dividends, whether payable in cash, securities or other property, other than
dividends (if any) declared and payable on the Series F Preferred Stock as specified in this
Section 3 (subject to the other provisions of the Certificate of Designations).
(b) Priority of Dividends. So long as any share of the Series F Preferred Stock
remains outstanding, no dividend or distribution shall be declared or paid on the Common Stock or
any other shares of Junior Stock (other than dividends payable solely in shares of Common Stock) or
Parity Stock, subject to the immediately following paragraph in the case of Parity Stock, and no
Common Stock, Junior Stock or Parity Stock shall be, directly or indirectly, purchased, redeemed or
otherwise acquired for consideration by the Company or any of its subsidiaries unless dividends for
the latest completed Dividend Period on all outstanding shares of the Series F Preferred Stock have
been or are contemporaneously declared and paid in full (or have been declared and a sum sufficient
for the payment thereof has been set aside for the benefit of the holders of shares of the Series F
Preferred Stock on the applicable record date). The foregoing limitation shall not apply to (i) a
dividend payable on any Junior Stock in shares of any other Junior Stock, or to the acquisition of
shares of any Junior Stock in exchange for, or through application of the proceeds of the sale of,
shares of any other Junior Stock; (ii) redemptions, purchases or other acquisitions of shares of
Common Stock or other Junior Stock in connection with the administration of any employee benefit
plan in the ordinary course of business (including purchases to offset the Share Dilution Amount
(as defined below) pursuant to a
A-3
publicly announced repurchase plan) and consistent with past practice; provided that any
purchases to offset the Share Dilution Amount shall in no event exceed the Share Dilution Amount;
(iii) any dividends or distributions of rights or Junior Stock in connection with a stockholders
rights plan or any redemption or repurchase of rights pursuant to any stockholders rights plan;
(iv) the acquisition by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of record ownership in Junior Stock
or Parity Stock for the beneficial ownership of any other persons (other than the Company or any of
its subsidiaries), including as trustees or custodians; (v) the conversion of the Convertible
Preferred Stock into Common Stock; (vi) the exchange or conversion of Junior Stock (other than the
Convertible Preferred Stock) for or into other Junior Stock or of Parity Stock for or into other
Parity Stock (with the same or lesser aggregate liquidation amount) or Junior Stock, in each case,
solely to the extent required pursuant to binding contractual agreements entered into prior to the
Signing Date or any subsequent agreement for the accelerated exercise, settlement or exchange
thereof for Common Stock; and (vii) any purchase, redemption or other acquisition with the written
consent of the UST. Share Dilution Amount means the increase in the number of diluted
shares outstanding (determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States, and as measured from the date of the Companys consolidated financial statements
most recently filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission prior to the Original Issue Date)
resulting from the grant, vesting or exercise of equity-based compensation to employees and
equitably adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split, reclassification or
similar transaction.
When dividends are not paid (or declared and a sum sufficient for payment thereof set aside
for the benefit of the holders thereof on the applicable record date) on any Dividend Payment Date
(or, in the case of Parity Stock having dividend payment dates different from the Dividend Payment
Dates, on a dividend payment date falling within a Dividend Period related to such Dividend Payment
Date) in full on shares of the Series F Preferred Stock and any shares of Parity Stock, all
dividends declared on the Series F Preferred Stock and all such Parity Stock and payable on such
Dividend Payment Date (or, in the case of Parity Stock having dividend payment dates different from
the Dividend Payment Dates, on a dividend payment date falling within the Dividend Period related
to such Dividend Payment Date) shall be declared pro rata so that the respective amounts of such
dividends declared shall bear the same ratio to each other as all declared but unpaid dividends per
share on the shares of the Series F Preferred Stock and all Parity Stock payable on such Dividend
Payment Date (or, in the case of Parity Stock having dividend payment dates different from the
Dividend Payment Dates, on a dividend payment date falling within the Dividend Period related to
such Dividend Payment Date) (subject to their having been declared by the Board of Directors or a
duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors out of legally available funds and including,
in the case of Parity Stock that bears cumulative dividends, all accrued but unpaid dividends) bear
to each other. If the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors
determines not to pay any dividend or a full dividend on a Dividend Payment Date, the Company will
provide written notice to the holders of the Series F Preferred Stock prior to such Dividend
Payment Date.
Subject to the foregoing, and not otherwise, such dividends (payable in cash, securities or
other property) as may be determined by the Board of Directors or any duly authorized committee of
the Board of Directors may be declared and paid on any securities, including Common Stock and other
Junior Stock, from time to time out of any funds legally available for
A-4
such payment, and holders of the Series F Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to participate
in any such dividends.
Section 4. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
affairs of the Company, then, before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of
Junior Stock, the holders of the Series F Preferred Stock and any shares of Preferred Stock ranking
on a parity therewith as to liquidation shall be entitled to be paid in full the respective amounts
of the liquidation preferences thereof, which in the case of the Series F Preferred Stock shall be
the Liquidation Amount, plus an amount equal to all dividends, if any, that have been declared but
not paid prior to such distribution or payment date (but without any accumulation in respect of
dividends that have not been declared prior to such distribution or payment date). If such payment
shall have been made in full to the holders of the Series F Preferred Stock and any series of
Preferred Stock ranking on a parity therewith as to liquidation, the remaining assets and funds of
the Company shall be distributed among the holders of Junior Stock, according to their respective
rights and preferences and in each case according to their respective shares. If, upon any
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, the amounts so payable are
not paid in full to the holders of all outstanding shares of the Series F Preferred Stock and any
series of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity therewith as to liquidation, the holders of the
Series F Preferred Stock and any series of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity therewith as to
liquidation shall share ratably in any distribution of assets in proportion to the full amounts to
which they would otherwise be respectively entitled. Neither the consolidation or merger of the
Company, nor the sale, lease or conveyance of all or a part of its assets, shall be deemed a
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company within the meaning of the
foregoing provisions of this Section 4.
Section 5. Redemption.
(a) Optional Redemption. Except as provided in this Section 5(a), the Series F
Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable. At any time that (i) the Trust (or any successor entity
established for the sole benefit of the United States Treasury) beneficially owns less than 30%
of the aggregate voting power of the Companys voting securities and (ii) no holder of the Series F
Preferred Stock controls the Company, the Company may redeem, in whole or in part, at any time and
from time to time, out of funds legally available therefor, the shares of the Series F Preferred
Stock at the time outstanding, upon notice given as provided in Section 5(c) below, the Series F
Preferred Stock in whole or in part at a redemption price per share equal to 100% of its
Liquidation Amount, plus, for purposes of the redemption price only and except as set forth in the
last sentence of the next paragraph, an amount equal to all declared but unpaid dividends for the
then current Dividend Period to such redemption date (regardless of whether any dividends are
actually declared for that Dividend Period). Control for purposes of this Section 5(a)
means the power to direct the management and policies of the Company, directly or indirectly,
whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, by the power to control the Board
of Directors or otherwise. Beneficially owns for purposes of this Section 5(a) is defined
in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended to the Signing Date. For the
avoidance of doubt, while there is Board of Directors control (or the potential to gain Board of
Directors control as a result of existing contractual rights) by any holder of the Series F
Preferred Stock, the Company may not redeem any of the Series F Preferred Stock.
A-5
The redemption price for any shares of the Series F Preferred Stock shall be payable on the
redemption date to the holder of such shares against surrender of the certificate(s) evidencing
such shares to the Company or its agent. Any declared but unpaid dividends payable on a redemption
date that occurs subsequent to the Dividend Record Date for a Dividend Period shall not be paid to
the holder entitled to receive the redemption price on the redemption date, but rather shall be
paid to the holder of record of the redeemed shares on such Dividend Record Date relating to the
Dividend Payment Date as provided in Section 3 above.
(b) No Sinking Fund. The Series F Preferred Stock will not be subject to any mandatory
redemption, sinking fund or other similar provisions. Holders of the Series F Preferred Stock will
have no right to require redemption or repurchase of any shares of the Series F Preferred Stock.
(c) Notice of Redemption. Notice of every redemption of shares of the Series F
Preferred Stock shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the holders of
record of the shares to be redeemed at their respective last addresses appearing on the books of
the Company. Such mailing shall be at least 30 days and not more than 60 days before the date fixed
for redemption. Any notice mailed as provided in this subsection (c) shall be conclusively presumed
to have been duly given, whether or not the holder receives such notice, but failure duly to give
such notice by mail, or any defect in such notice or in the mailing thereof, to any holder of
shares of the Series F Preferred Stock designated for redemption shall not affect the validity of
the proceedings for the redemption of any other shares of the Series F Preferred Stock.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if shares of the Series F Preferred Stock are issued in book-entry
form through The Depository Trust Company or any other similar facility, notice of redemption may
be given to the holders of the Series F Preferred Stock at such time and in any manner permitted by
such facility. Each notice of redemption given to a holder shall state: (1) the redemption date;
(2) the number of shares of the Series F Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if less than all the
shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such
holder; (3) the redemption price; and (4) the place or places where certificates for such shares
are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price, but failure duly to give such notice to
any holder of shares of the Series F Preferred Stock designated for redemption or any defect in
such notice shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other shares
of the Series F Preferred Stock.
(d) Partial Redemption. In case of any redemption of part of the shares of the Series
F Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, the shares to be redeemed shall be selected either pro
rata or in such other manner as the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof may
determine to be fair and equitable. Subject to the provisions hereof, the Board of Directors or a
duly authorized committee thereof shall have full power and authority to prescribe the terms and
conditions upon which shares of the Series F Preferred Stock shall be redeemed from time to time.
If fewer than all the shares represented by any certificate are redeemed at any time, a new
certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares without charge to the holder
thereof; provided that at any time after the Termination Date, each holder may elect, upon
surrender of a certificate representing any unredeemed shares of Series F Preferred Stock, to have
the Company deliver or cause to be delivered to such holder a notice that shares of Series F
Preferred Stock equal in number to the unredeemed shares of Series F Preferred Stock
A-6
represented by the certificate so surrendered have been registered on the books and records of
the Company.
(e) Effectiveness of Redemption. If notice of redemption has been duly given and if on
or before the redemption date specified in the notice all funds necessary for the redemption have
been deposited by the Company, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the shares
called for redemption, with a bank or trust company doing business in the Borough of Manhattan, The
City of New York, and having a capital and surplus of at least $500 million and selected by the
Board of Directors, so as to be and continue to be available solely therefor, then, notwithstanding
that any certificate (if the shares of Series F Preferred Stock are not in book-entry form) for any
share so called for redemption has not been surrendered for cancellation, on and after the
redemption date dividends shall cease to accrue on all shares so called for redemption, all shares
so called for redemption shall no longer be deemed outstanding and all rights with respect to such
shares shall forthwith on such redemption date cease and terminate, except only the right of the
holders thereof to receive the amount payable on such redemption from such bank or trust company,
without interest. Any funds unclaimed at the end of three years from the redemption date shall, to
the extent permitted by law, be released to the Company, after which time the holders of the shares
so called for redemption shall look only to the Company for payment of the redemption price of such
shares.
(f) Status of Redeemed Shares. Shares of the Series F Preferred Stock that are
redeemed, repurchased or otherwise acquired by the Company shall revert to authorized but unissued
shares of the Series F Preferred Stock (provided that any such cancelled shares of the Series F
Preferred Stock may be reissued only as shares of any series of the Preferred Stock other than the
Series F Preferred Stock).
Section 6. Conversion. Holders of the Series F Preferred Stock shares shall have no right to exchange or convert
such shares into any other securities.
Section 7. Voting Rights.
(a) General. The holders of the Series F Preferred Stock shall not have any voting
rights except as set forth below or as otherwise from time to time required by law.
(b) Series F Preferred Stock Directors. Whenever, at any time or times, dividends
payable on the shares of the Series F Preferred Stock have not been paid for an aggregate of four
quarterly Dividend Periods or more, whether or not consecutive (including for this purpose the
period during which the Series D Preferred Stock was outstanding), the authorized number of
directors of the Company shall automatically be increased to accommodate the number of
the Preferred Directors specified below and the holders of the Series F Preferred Stock shall have
the right, with holders of shares of any one or more other classes or series of Voting Parity Stock
outstanding at the time, voting together as a class, to elect the greater of two directors and a
number of directors (rounded upward) equal to 20% of the total number of directors of the Company
after giving effect to such election (hereinafter the Preferred Directors and each a
Preferred Director) to fill such newly created directorships at the Companys next annual
meeting of stockholders (or at a special meeting called for that purpose prior to such next annual
meeting) and at each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders until dividends payable on all
A-7
outstanding shares of the Series F Preferred Stock have been declared and paid in full for
four consecutive quarterly Dividend Periods, at which time such right shall terminate with respect
to the Series F Preferred Stock, except as herein or by law expressly provided, subject to
revesting in the event of each and every subsequent payment failure of the character above
mentioned; provided that it shall be a qualification for election for any Preferred Director that
the election of such Preferred Director shall not cause the Company to violate any corporate
governance requirements of any securities exchange or other trading facility on which securities of
the Company may then be listed or traded that listed or traded companies must have a majority of
independent directors. Upon any termination of the right of the holders of shares of the Series F
Preferred Stock and Voting Parity Stock as a class to vote for directors as provided above, the
Preferred Directors shall cease to be qualified as directors, the term of office of all Preferred
Directors then in office shall terminate immediately and the authorized number of directors shall
be reduced by the number of the Preferred Directors elected pursuant hereto. Any Preferred
Director may be removed at any time, with or without cause, and any vacancy created thereby may be
filled, only by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of the Series F
Preferred Stock at the time outstanding voting separately as a class together with the holders of
shares of Voting Parity Stock, to the extent the voting rights of such holders described above are
then exercisable. If the office of any Preferred Director becomes vacant for any reason other than
removal from office as aforesaid, the remaining Preferred Director may choose a successor who shall
hold office for the unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy occurred.
(c) Class Voting Rights as to Particular Matters. So long as any shares of the Series
F Preferred Stock are outstanding, in addition to any other vote or consent of stockholders
required by law or by the Charter, the vote or consent of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the
shares of the Series F Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, voting as a separate class, given
in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the
purpose, shall be necessary for effecting or validating:
(i) Authorization of Senior or Pari Passu Stock . Any amendment or alteration
of the Certificate of Designations for the Series F Preferred Stock or the Charter
(including any amendment to the Charter effectuated by a Certificate of Designations) to
authorize or create or increase the authorized amount of, or any issuance of, any shares of,
or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of, any class
or series of capital stock of the Company ranking senior to or pari passu with the Series F
Preferred Stock with respect to either or both the payment of dividends and/or the
distribution of assets on any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (the
Senior or Pari Passu Securities); provided, however, that the voting rights
provided in this Section 7(c)(i) shall not apply to any amendment or alteration of the
Charter (including any amendment to the Charter effectuated by a Certificate of
Designations) to authorize or create or increase the authorized amount of, or any issuance
of, any Senior or Pari Passu Securities initially issued to the UST;
(ii) Amendment of the Series F Preferred Stock. Any amendment, alteration or
repeal of any provision of the Certificate of Designations for the Series F Preferred Stock
or the Charter (including, unless no vote on such merger or consolidation is required by
Section 7(c)(iii) below, any amendment, alteration or repeal by means of a
A-8
merger, consolidation or otherwise) so as to adversely affect the rights, preferences,
privileges or voting powers of the Series F Preferred Stock; or
(iii) Share Exchanges, Reclassifications, Mergers and Consolidations. Any
consummation of a binding share exchange or reclassification involving the Series F
Preferred Stock, or of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another
corporation or other entity, unless in each case (x) the shares of the Series F Preferred
Stock remain outstanding and are not amended in any respect or, in the case of any such
merger or consolidation with respect to which the Company is not the surviving or resulting
entity, are converted into or exchanged for preference securities of the surviving or
resulting entity or its ultimate parent, and (y) such shares remaining outstanding or such
preference securities, as the case may be, have such rights, preferences, privileges and
voting powers, and limitations and restrictions thereof, taken as a whole, as are not
materially less favorable to the holders thereof than the rights, preferences, privileges
and voting powers, and limitations and restrictions thereof, of the Series F Preferred Stock
immediately prior to such consummation, taken as a whole;
provided, however, that for all purposes of this Section 7(c), any increase in the amount of the
authorized Preferred Stock, including any increase in the authorized amount of the Series F
Preferred Stock necessary to satisfy preemptive or similar rights granted by the Company to other
persons prior to the Signing Date, or the creation and issuance, or an increase in the authorized
or issued amount, whether pursuant to preemptive or similar rights or otherwise, of any other
series of the Preferred Stock, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable
for any other series of the Preferred Stock, ranking pari passu with (if such securities are issued
to the UST) or junior to the Series F Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends
(whether such dividends are cumulative or non-cumulative) and the distribution of assets upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company will not be deemed to adversely affect the
rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers, and shall not require the affirmative vote or
consent of, the holders of outstanding shares of the Series F Preferred Stock.
(d) Changes after Provision for Redemption. No vote or consent of the holders of the
Series F Preferred Stock shall be required pursuant to Section 7(c) above if, at or prior to the
time when any such vote or consent would otherwise be required pursuant to such Section, all
outstanding shares of the Series F Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed, or shall have been
called for redemption upon proper notice and sufficient funds shall have been deposited in trust
for such redemption, in each case pursuant to Section 5 above.
(e) Procedures for Voting and Consents. The rules and procedures for calling and
conducting any meeting of the holders of the Series F Preferred Stock (including, without
limitation, the fixing of a record date in connection therewith), the solicitation and use of
proxies at such a meeting, the obtaining of written consents and any other aspect or matter with
regard to such a meeting or such consents shall be governed by any rules that the Board of
Directors or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors, in its discretion, may adopt
from time to time, which rules and procedures shall conform to the requirements of the Charter, the
Bylaws, and applicable law and the rules of any national securities exchange or other trading
facility on which Series F Preferred Stock is listed or traded at the time.
A-9
Section 8. Record Holders. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company and the Transfer Agent may

lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and neither the Company nor the Transfer Agent shall be
affected by any notice to the contrary.
Section 9. Notices. All notices or communications in respect of the Series F Preferred Stock shall be
sufficiently given if given in writing and delivered in person or by first class mail, postage
prepaid, or if given in such other manner as may be permitted in this Certificate of Designations,

Series F Preferred Stock are issued in book-entry form through The Depository Trust Company or any

manner permitted by such facility.

subscribe for or purchase, or have any preemptive right with respect to, any part of any new or
additional issue of stock of any class whatsoever, or of securities convertible into any stock of
any class whatsoever, whether now or hereafter authorized and whether issued for cash or other
consideration or by way of dividend.
Section 11. Replacement Certificates. The Company shall replace any mutilated certificate at the holders expense upon surrender
of that certificate to the Company. The Company shall replace certificates that become destroyed,
stolen or lost at the holders expense upon delivery to the Company of reasonably satisfactory
evidence that the certificate has been destroyed, stolen or lost, together with any indemnity that
may be reasonably required by the Company.

certificates in definitive, fully registered form with, until such time as otherwise determined by
the Company, the restricted shares legend (the Restricted Shares Legend), as set forth on

Certificate. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that such Series F Preferred Share
Certificate has been authenticated under this Certificate of Designations. Each Series F Preferred
Share Certificate shall be dated the date of its authentication.

Exhibit 5.1
[Letterhead of American International Group, Inc.]

American International Group, Inc.
70 Pine Street
New York, New York 10270
Ladies and Gentlemen:
In connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the Act) of an
indeterminate aggregate initial offering price or number of shares of common stock, par value $2.50
per share (the Common Stock), shares of preferred stock, par value $5.00 per share (the
Preferred Stock), or depositary shares (evidenced by depositary receipts) representing interests
in shares of Preferred Stock (collectively, the Securities) of American International Group,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), I, as Senior Vice President and Deputy General
Counsel of the Company, have examined such corporate records, certificates and other documents, and
such questions of law, as I have considered necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this
opinion. Upon the basis of such examination, I advise you that, in my opinion:
(1) When the registration statement relating to the Securities (the Registration
Statement) has become effective under the Act, the terms of the sale of the Common Stock
have been duly established in conformity with the Companys Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation so as not to violate any applicable law or result in a
default under or breach of any agreement or instrument binding upon the Company and so as
to comply with any requirement or restriction imposed by any court or governmental body
having jurisdiction over the Company and include a number of shares to be issued not in
excess of the number of shares then authorized and not outstanding or reserved for
issuance, and the Common Stock has been duly issued and sold for a price per share
determined by the Companys Board of Directors which is not less than the par value
thereof, the Common Stock will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
(2) When the Registration Statement has become effective under the Act, the terms of
the Preferred Stock and of its issuance and sale have been duly established in conformity
with the Companys Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation so as not to violate
any applicable law or result in a default under or breach of any agreement or instrument
binding upon the Company and so as to comply with any requirement or restriction imposed by
any court or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company and include a number of
shares to be issued not in excess of the number of shares then authorized and not
outstanding or reserved for issuance, a certificate of designations with respect to the
Preferred Stock has been duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware,
and
the Preferred Stock has been duly issued and sold for a price per share determined by
the Companys Board of Directors which is not less than the par value thereof, the
Preferred Stock will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
(3) When the Registration Statement has become effective under the Act, the terms of
the deposit agreement under which the depositary shares are to be issued (the Deposit
Agreement) have been established so as not to violate any applicable law or result in a
default under or breach of any agreement or instrument binding upon the Company and so as
to comply with any requirement or restriction imposed by any court or governmental body
having jurisdiction over the Company, the Deposit Agreement has been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by the parties thereto, the terms of the depositary shares and of
their issuance and sale have been duly established in conformity with the Deposit Agreement
so as not to violate any applicable law or result in a default under or breach of any
agreement or instrument binding upon the Company and so as to comply with any requirement
or restriction imposed by any court or governmental body having jurisdiction over the
Company, the Preferred Stock represented by the depositary shares has been duly authorized
and validly issued and is delivered to the depositary, and the depositary receipts
evidencing the depositary shares have been duly issued against deposit of the Preferred
Stock in accordance with the Deposit Agreement and issued and sold for a price determined
by the Companys Board of Directors which is not less than the par value of the underlying
shares of Preferred Stock represented thereby, the depositary receipts evidencing the
depositary shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
The foregoing opinion is limited to the laws of the State of New York and the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, and I am expressing no opinion as to the effect of the
laws of any other jurisdiction.
I have relied as to certain factual matters on information obtained from public officials,
officers of the Company and other sources believed by me to be responsible.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and
to the reference to me under the heading Validity of the Common Stock and Preferred Stock in the
prospectus included in the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, I do not thereby admit
that I am in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Kathleen E. Shannon
