     6. (a) The Company and each Underwriter agree that the Underwriters may prepare and use one or more preliminary term sheets relating to the Securities containing only customary information.

          (b) Each Underwriter represents that it has not and will not use, authorize use of, refer to, or participate in the planning for use of, any written communication that constitutes an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Securities other than (i) any written communication permitted under subparagraph (a) above, (ii) the final term sheet prepared and filed pursuant to Section 5(a) hereof or (iii) any written communication prepared by such Underwriter and approved in writing by the Company in advance.

          (e) The Company represents and agrees that it has complied and will comply with the requirements of Rule 433 under the Act applicable to any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, including timely filing with the Commission, where required, and legending.

          (f) The Company agrees that if at any time following the issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus any event occurred or occurs as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus would conflict with the information in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances then prevailing, not misleading, the Company will, if the Underwriters are then required to deliver a prospectus under the Act in respect of sales of Securities (or, in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Act), give prompt notice thereof to the Representatives and, if requested by the Representatives, will prepare and furnish without charge to each Underwriter an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or other document which will correct such conflict, statement or omission; provided, however, that this representation and warranty shall not apply to any statements or omissions in an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by an Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein.

     7. The Company covenants and agrees with the several Underwriters that the Company will pay or cause to be paid the following: (a) the fees, disbursements and expenses of the Company’s counsel and accountants in connection with the registration of the Securities under the Act and all other expenses in connection with the preparation, printing and filing of the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus and amendments and supplements thereto and the mailing and delivering of copies thereof to the Underwriters; (b) the cost of printing, word-processing or reproducing this Agreement, any Indenture, any Blue Sky and Legal Investment Memoranda and any other documents in connection with the offering, purchase, sale and delivery of the Securities; (c) all expenses in connection with the qualification of the Securities for offering and sale under state securities laws as provided in Section 5(b) hereof, including the fees and disbursements of the Underwriters’ counsel in connection with such qualification and in connection with the Blue Sky and legal investment surveys; (d) any fees charged by securities rating services for rating the Securities; (e) any filing fees incident to any required review and clearance by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority of the terms of the sale of the Securities; (f) the cost of preparing the Securities; (g) the fees and expenses of any trustee and any agent of any trustee, and the fees and disbursements of counsel for any of the foregoing in connection with any Indenture and the Securities; (h) all costs and expenses related to the transfer and delivery of the Securities to the Underwriters, including any transfer or other taxes payable in connection with such delivery, up to an amount as separately agreed; (i) the costs and expenses of the Company relating to investor presentations on the Road Show undertaken in connection with the marketing of the offering of the Securities, including, without limitation, expenses associated with the preparation or dissemination of any electronic road show, expenses associated with the production of road show slides and graphics, fees and expenses of any consultants engaged in connection with the road show presentations with the

prior approval of the Company, travel and lodging expenses of the representatives and officers of the Company and any such consultants, and the cost of any aircraft chartered in connection with the road show, up to an amount as separately agreed; and (j) all other costs and expenses incident to the performance of the Company’s obligations hereunder and under the Indenture which are not otherwise specifically provided for in this Section, but the Company shall not in any event be liable to any of the Underwriters for damages on account of loss of anticipated profits from the sale by them of the Securities. It is understood that, except as provided in this Section, Section 9 and Section 12 hereof, the Underwriters will pay all of their own costs and expenses, including the fees of their counsel, transfer taxes on resale of any of the Securities by them, and any advertising expenses connected with any offers they may make.

     8. The obligations of the Underwriters shall be subject, in the discretion of the Representatives, to the condition that all representations and warranties and other statements of the Company herein shall be true and correct in all material respects, at and as of the Time of Delivery, the condition that the Company shall have performed, in all material respects, all of its obligations hereunder theretofore to be performed and the following additional conditions:

          (a) No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any part thereof shall have been issued and no proceeding for that purpose shall have been initiated by the Commission or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of the Company, shall be threatened or contemplated by the Commission; no notice of objection of the Commission to the use of the form of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the Act shall have been received by the Company; the Prospectus and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus shall have been timely filed with the Commission under the Act (in the case of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to the extent required by Rule 433 under the Act); and all requests for additional information on the part of the Commission shall have been complied with to the reasonable satisfaction of the Representatives;

          (b) Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP, counsel to the Underwriters, shall have furnished to the Representatives such opinion and letter, each dated the Time of Delivery, with respect to the Indenture, the validity of the Securities, the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Prospectus, and other related matters as the Representatives may reasonably request, and the Company shall have furnished to such counsel such documents as they reasonably request to enable them to pass upon such matters;

          (c) Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, counsel for the Company, shall have furnished to the Representatives their opinion or opinions, dated the Time of Delivery, to the effect set forth in Schedule III hereto;

          (d) Kathleen E. Shannon, Senior Vice President and Deputy General Counsel of the Company, shall have furnished to the Representatives her opinion, dated the Time of Delivery, to the effect set forth in Schedule IV hereto;

          (e) On the date of the Prospectus and at the Time of Delivery, the independent registered public accounting firm who have audited the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus shall have furnished to the Representatives a letter, dated the

respective dates of delivery thereof, in a form agreed to by the Company and the Representatives on or prior to the date hereof, and with respect to such letter dated such Time of Delivery, as to such other matters as the Representatives may reasonably request and in form and substance satisfactory to the Representatives;

          (f) Since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Pricing Disclosure Package (excluding any amendment or supplement thereto) and prior to the Time of Delivery, there shall not have been any Material Adverse Change or any development involving a prospective Material Adverse Change which, in the judgment of the Representatives, materially impairs the investment quality of the Securities, otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (excluding any amendment or supplement thereto);

          (g) The Company shall have furnished or caused to be furnished to the Representatives a certificate of the Chief Executive Officer, the President, any Vice Chairman, any Executive or Senior Vice President or any Vice President and a principal financial or accounting officer of the Company, dated the Time of Delivery, in which such officers, to the best of their knowledge after reasonable investigation, shall state that (i) the representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement are true and correct, in all material respects, as of the Time of Delivery, (ii) the Company has complied with all agreements and satisfied all conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied, in all material respects, at or prior to the Time of Delivery, (iii) no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are threatened by the Commission, and (iv) since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Pricing Disclosure Package, (A) there has not been any Material Adverse Change, otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus as amended or supplemented in accordance with Section 5(a) hereof and (B) none of the events set forth in Section 8(h)(vi) below has occurred; and

          (h) On or after the date hereof, there shall not have occurred any of the following: (i) a suspension or material limitation in trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange if the effect of any such event, in the reasonable judgment of the Representatives, is to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the purchase by the Underwriters of the Securities from the Company; (ii) any suspension of trading imposed by a regulatory agency or similar body on any securities of the Company on any United States exchange or in any United States over-the-counter market; (iii) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the City of New York shall have occurred; (iv) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York declared by either Federal or New York State authorities; (v) (A) the outbreak or escalation of hostilities involving the United States or the declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, other than any such outbreak, escalation or declaration arising out of or relating to the U.S. war on terrorism that does not represent a significant departure from the conditions that exist at the date hereof, or (B) any other calamity or crisis if the effect of any such event set forth in this subclause (v) in the reasonable judgment of the Representatives is to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated by the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus as amended or supplemented in accordance with Section 5(a) hereof; or (vi) any downgrading, or any written notice of any

intended downgrading or of any possible change that does not indicate the direction of the possible change, in each case in the rating accorded the Company’s senior debt securities by Moody’s Investors Service, a subsidiary of Moody’s Corporation, or Standard & Poor’s, a division of the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., if the effect of such event in the reasonable judgment of the Representatives is to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated by the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus as amended or supplemented in accordance with Section 5(a) hereof.

     9. (a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Underwriter may become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and will reimburse such Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Underwriter expressly for use therein.

          (b) Each Underwriter will, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or such controlling person may become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses

reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred.

          (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection except to the extent that it has been prejudiced by such failure. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff that is not subject to further appeal, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify each indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

          (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters of the Securities on the other from the offering of the Securities to which such loss, claim, damage or liability (or action in respect thereof) relates. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters of the Securities on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and such Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from such offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total

underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriters in respect thereof. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or by such Underwriters on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the applicable Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligations of the Underwriters of Securities in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations with respect to such Securities and not joint.

          (e) The obligations of the Company under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act; and the obligations of the Underwriters under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act; provided that the Underwriters shall have no obligation to indemnify the AIG Credit Facility Trust, its trustees or any department, agency or instrumentality of the United States federal government.

     10. (a) If any Underwriter shall default in its obligation to purchase the Securities which it has agreed to purchase, the Representatives may in their discretion arrange for themselves or another party or other parties to purchase such Securities on the terms contained herein. If within thirty-six hours after such default by any Underwriter, the Representatives do not arrange for the purchase of such Securities, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of thirty-six hours within which to procure another party or other parties satisfactory to the Representatives to purchase such Securities on such terms. In the event that, within the prescribed period, the Representatives notify the Company that they have so arranged for the purchase of such Securities, or the Company notifies the Representatives that it has so arranged for the purchase of such Securities, the Representatives or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Time of Delivery for such Securities for a period of not more than seven days, in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement or

the Prospectus, or in any other documents or arrangements, and the Company agrees to file promptly any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus which in the opinion of the Representatives may thereby be made necessary. The term “Underwriter” as used in this Agreement shall include any person substituted under this Section with like effect as if such person had originally been a party to this Agreement with respect to such Securities.

          (b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the Representatives and the Company as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities which remains unpurchased does not exceed one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities, then the Company shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the principal amount of Securities which such Underwriter agreed to purchase under this Agreement relating to such Securities and, in addition, to require each non defaulting Underwriter to purchase its pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Securities which such Underwriter agreed to purchase under this Agreement) of the Securities of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

          (c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the Representatives and the Company as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of Securities which remains unpurchased exceeds one tenth of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities, as referred to in subsection (b) above, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described in subsection (b) above to require non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, then this Agreement relating to such Securities shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any non defaulting Underwriter or the Company, except for the expenses to be borne by the Company and the Underwriters as provided in Section 7 hereof and the indemnity and contribution agreements in Section 9 hereof; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

     11. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the several Underwriters, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any controlling person of any Underwriter, or the Company, or any officer or director or controlling person of the Company, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Securities.

     12. If the sale of the Securities provided for herein is not consummated, or if this Agreement is terminated by the Underwriters, because any condition to the obligations of the Underwriters set forth in Section 8 hereof is not satisfied (other than any termination pursuant to Section 8(h)(i), (iii), (iv) or (v) hereof), or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company to perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by any of the Underwriters, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters severally through the Representatives on demand for all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been reasonably incurred by them in connection with this Agreement or the proposed purchase and sale of the Securities, but the

Company shall then be under no further liability to any Underwriter with respect to such Securities except as provided in Section 7 and Section 9 hereof.

     13. In all dealings hereunder, the Representatives of the Underwriters of the Securities shall act on behalf of each of such Underwriters, and the parties hereto shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of any Underwriter made or given by such Representatives jointly.

All statements, requests, notices and advices hereunder shall be in writing, or by telephone if promptly confirmed in writing, and if to an Underwriter, shall be sufficient in all respects when delivered or sent by facsimile transmission or registered mail to the Representatives at the notice address set forth in Schedule I, and if to the Company shall be sufficient in all respects when delivered or sent by registered mail to 180 Maiden Lane, New York, New York 10038, Facsimile Transmission No. (212) 785-1584, Attention: General Counsel.

     14. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the benefit of, the Underwriters, the Company and, to the extent provided in Section 9 and Section 11 hereof, the officers and directors of the Company and each person who controls the Company or any Underwriter, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors and assigns, and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement. No purchaser of any of the Securities from any Underwriter shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.

     15. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (a) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and the several Underwriters, on the other, (b) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction each Underwriter is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Company, (c) no Underwriter has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Company on other matters) or any other obligation to the Company except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement and (d) the Company has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate.

     16. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Company and the Underwriters, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

     17. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

     18. The Company hereby confirms that neither it nor its property located in the United States is entitled to assert a defense of sovereign immunity (whether from jurisdiction, service of process or attachment) in any legal action, suit or proceeding based on this Agreement which may be instituted in any federal, state or local court in the United States.

     19. Time shall be of the essence in this Agreement.

     20. This Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties hereto in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

     If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, please sign and return to us five counterparts hereof, whereupon this letter and the acceptance by each of you thereof shall constitute a binding agreement between the Company and each of you in accordance with its terms.

SCHEDULE III

Form of Opinion of Sullivan & Cromwell LLP

[Date]

[Name of Underwriter(s)]
[Address(es)]

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          In connection with the several purchases today by you and the other Underwriters named in Schedule I to the Underwriting Agreement, dated [•], 20•• (the “Underwriting Agreement”), between American International Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company”), and you, as Representatives of the several Underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), of $[•] aggregate principal amount of the Company’s [•] % Notes due [2014] (the “2014 Notes”) and $[•] aggregate principal amount of the Company’s [•] % Notes due [2020] (the “2020 Notes”, together with the 2014 Notes, the “Securities”) issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of October 12, 2006, as supplemented by the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of April 18, 2007 (as so supplemented, [the “Original Indenture”), and as further supplemented by the [Eighth] Supplemental Indenture and the [Ninth] Supplemental Indenture, each to be dated as of •, 2010 (the “Supplemental Indentures,” and together with the Original Indenture,] the “Indenture”), each between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (the “Trustee”), we, as counsel for the Company, have examined such corporate records, certificates and other documents, and such questions of law, as we have considered necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion. Upon the basis of such examination, it is our opinion that:

     (1) The Company has been duly incorporated and is an existing corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

     (2) The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939; the Securities have been duly authorized, executed, authenticated, issued and delivered; and the Indenture and the Securities constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles.

     (3) The Company is not, and after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Securities and the application of the proceeds as described in the Prospectus relating to the Securities, would not be on the date hereof, required to be registered as an “investment company” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

     (4) All regulatory consents, authorizations, approvals and filings required to be obtained or made by the Company under the Covered Laws for the execution and delivery by the Company of, and the performance by the Company of its obligations

under, the Securities, the Indenture and the Underwriting Agreement (the “Covered Documents”) have been obtained or made.

     (5) The execution and delivery by the Company of, and the performance by the Company of its obligations under, the Covered Documents will not violate any Covered Laws, except for such violations that would not have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in Section 1(j) of the Underwriting Agreement) or affect the validity of the Securities.

     (6) The execution and delivery by the Company of the Covered Documents do not, and the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Covered Documents will not, (a) violate the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Company’s By-laws, in each case as in effect on the date hereof, or (b) result in a default under or breach of any of the agreements listed on Annex A, except in the case of clause (b) for such defaults or breaches that would not have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in Section 1(j) of the Underwriting Agreement) or affect the validity of the Securities; provided, however, that we are expressing no opinion in clause (b) of this paragraph as to compliance with any financial or accounting test, or any limitation or restriction expressed as a dollar amount, ratio or percentage.

     (7) The Underwriting Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.

          The foregoing opinion is limited to the Federal laws of the United States, the laws of the State of New York and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, and we are expressing no opinion as to the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

     We are expressing no opinion in paragraphs (4) and (5) above, insofar as performance by the Company of its obligations under any Covered Document is concerned, as to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights. Also, for purposes of the opinions in paragraphs (4) and (5) above, “Covered Laws” means the federal laws of the United States, the laws of the State of New York and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (including in each case the published rules or regulations thereunder) that in our experience normally are applicable to general business corporations and transactions such as those contemplated by the Covered Documents; provided, however, that, for purposes of paragraph (5) above, such term does not include Federal securities laws and, for purposes of paragraphs (4) and (5) above, such term does not include state securities laws, insurance laws of any jurisdiction, antifraud laws and fraudulent transfer laws, tax laws, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, antitrust laws or any law that is applicable to the Company, the Covered Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby solely as part of a regulatory regime applicable to the Company or its affiliates due to its or their status, business or assets.

          We have relied as to certain matters upon information obtained from public officials, officers of the Company and other sources believed by us to be responsible, and we have assumed that the Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Trustee, that the Securities conform to the respective specimens thereof examined by us, that the Trustee’s certificates of authentication of the Securities have been manually signed by one of the Trustee’s authorized officers,

and that the signatures on all documents examined by us are genuine, assumptions which we have not independently verified.

          This letter is furnished by us, as counsel to the Company, to you, as Representatives of the several Underwriters, solely for the benefit of the Underwriters in their capacity as such, and may not be relied upon by any other person. This letter may not be quoted, referred to or furnished to any purchaser or prospective purchaser of the Securities and may not be used in furtherance of any offer or sale of the Securities.

Very truly yours,

Form of Letter of Sullivan & Cromwell LLP

[Date]

[Name of Underwriter(s)]
[Address]

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          This is with reference to the registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) and offering of $[•] aggregate principal amount of [•] % Notes due [2013] and $[•] aggregate principal amount of [•] % Notes due [2017] (collectively, the “Securities”) of American International Group, Inc. (the “Company”).

          The Registration Statement relating to the Securities (File No. 333-160645) was filed on Form S-3 in accordance with procedures of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) permitting a delayed or continuous offering of securities pursuant thereto and, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment, document incorporated by reference therein or prospectus supplement that provides information relating to the terms of the securities and the manner of their distribution. The Registration Statement was amended by a Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 thereto (the “Post-Effective Amendment”), and any reference in this letter to the “Registration Statement” refers to the Registration Statement as amended by the Post-Effective Amendment. The Securities have been offered by the Prospectus dated [•], 20•• (the “Basic Prospectus”), as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, dated [•], 20•• (the “Prospectus Supplement”), [which updates or supplements certain information contained in the Basic Prospectus]. The Basic Prospectus, as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, does not necessarily contain a current description of the Company’s business and affairs since, pursuant to Form S-3, it incorporates by reference certain documents filed with the Commission that contain information as of various dates.

          As counsel to the Company, we reviewed the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement and the documents listed in Schedule A hereto (those listed documents, taken together with the Basic Prospectus, being referred to herein as the “Pricing Disclosure Package”), and participated in discussions with your representatives and those of the Company and its accountants. Between the date of the Prospectus Supplement and the time of delivery of this letter, we participated in further discussions with your representatives and those of the Company, its accountants and its counsel concerning certain matters relating to the Company and reviewed certificates of certain officers of the Company, a letter addressed to you from the Company’s accountants and an opinion addressed to you from counsel to the Company. On the basis of the information that we gained in the course of the performance of the services referred to above, considered in the light of our understanding of the applicable law (including the requirements of Form S-3 and the character of the prospectus contemplated thereby) and the experience we have gained through our practice under the Act, we confirm to you that, in our opinion, the Registration Statement, as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement, and the Basic Prospectus, as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement, appeared on their face to be appropriately responsive, in all material respects relevant to the offering of the Securities, to the requirements of the Act, the Trust Indenture Act

of 1939 and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. Also, we confirm to you that the statements contained in the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement under the captions “Description of Debt Securities AIG May Offer” in the Basic Prospectus and [“Description of the [Notes]”] and [“Underwriting”] in the Prospectus Supplement, in each case insofar as they relate to provisions of the Securities, the Indenture under which the Securities are being issued and the Underwriting Agreement relating to the Securities therein described, constitute a fair and accurate summary of such provisions in all material respects.

          Further, nothing that came to our attention in the course of such review has caused us to believe that, insofar as relevant to the offering of the Securities,

          (a) the Registration Statement, as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or

          (b) the Pricing Disclosure Package, as of [__:00] [A/P].M. on [•] [, when considered together with [insert reference to any disclosure added in the final prospectus supplement]], contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or

          (c) the Basic Prospectus, as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

          We also advise you that nothing that came to our attention in the course of the procedures described in the second sentence of the preceding paragraph has caused us to believe that the Basic Prospectus, as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, as of the time of delivery of this letter, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

          The limitations inherent in the independent verification of factual matters and the character of determinations involved in the registration process are such, however, that we do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement, the Post-Effective Amendment, the Basic Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement or the Pricing Disclosure Package, except to the extent specifically noted in the last sentence of the second preceding paragraph. Also, we do not express any opinion or belief as to the financial statements or other financial data derived from accounting records contained in the Registration Statement, the Post-Effective Amendment, the Basic Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement or the Pricing Disclosure Package, or as to management’s report of its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting or the auditors’ report as to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, each as included in the Registration Statement, the Post-Effective Amendment, the Basic Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement or the Pricing Disclosure Package, or as to the statement of the eligibility and qualification of the Trustee under the Indenture under which the Securities are being issued.

          This letter is furnished by us, as counsel to the Company, to you, as Representatives of the several Underwriters, solely for the benefit of the Underwriters in their capacity as such, and may not be relied upon by any other person. This letter may not be quoted, referred to or furnished to any purchaser or prospective purchaser of the Securities and may not be used in furtherance of any offer or sale of the Securities.

Very truly yours,

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          I am Senior Vice President and Deputy General Counsel of American International Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and, as such, I am generally familiar with the corporate affairs of the Company.

          This opinion is rendered in connection with the several purchases today by you and the other Underwriters named in Schedule I to the Underwriting Agreement, dated [•], 20•• (the “Underwriting Agreement”), between the Company and you, as Representatives of the several Underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), of $[•] aggregate principal amount of the Company’s [•] % Notes due [2013](the “2013 Notes”) and $[•] aggregate principal amount of the Company’s [•] % Notes due [2017] (the “2017 Notes”, together with the 2013 Notes, the “Securities”) issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of October 12, 2006, as supplemented by the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of April 18, 2007 (as so supplemented, [the “Original Indenture”), and as further supplemented by the [Eighth] Supplemental Indenture and, solely with respect to 2017 Notes, the [Ninth] Supplemental Indenture, each to be dated as of •, 2010 (the “Supplemental Indentures,” and together with the Original Indenture,] the “Indenture”), each between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (the “Trustee”).

          The Registration Statement relating to the Securities (File No. 333-160645) was filed on Form S-3 in accordance with procedures of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) permitting a delayed or continuous offering of securities pursuant thereto and, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment, document incorporated by reference therein or prospectus supplement that provides information relating to the terms of the securities and the manner of their distribution. The Registration Statement was amended by a Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 thereto (the “Post-Effective Amendment”), and any reference in this letter to the “Registration Statement” refers to the Registration Statement as amended by the Post-Effective Amendment. The Securities have been offered by the Prospectus dated [•], 20•• (the “Basic Prospectus”), as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, dated [•], 20•• (the “Prospectus Supplement”), [which updates or supplements certain information contained in the Basic Prospectus]. The Basic Prospectus, as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, does not necessarily contain a current description of the Company’s business and affairs since, pursuant to Form S-3, it incorporates by reference certain documents filed with the Commission that contain information as of various dates.

          In rendering my opinion, I, as Senior Vice President and Deputy General Counsel of the Company, have examined the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement

and the documents listed in Schedule A hereto (those listed documents, taken together with the Basic Prospectus as amended or supplemented immediately prior to the Applicable Time (as defined below), being referred to herein as the “Pricing Disclosure Package”), and I have examined such corporate records, certificates and other documents, and have reviewed such questions of law, as I have considered necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion. Upon the basis of such examination and review, it is my opinion that:

     (i) To the best of my knowledge and information, there are no contracts or other documents required to be summarized or disclosed or filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement other than those summarized or disclosed in the Registration Statement or filed as exhibits thereto, and there are no legal or governmental proceedings pending or threatened of a character required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement and the Basic Prospectus, as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, which are not disclosed and properly described therein;

     (ii) The Company has been duly incorporated and is an existing corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware; the Company has corporate power and authority to own its properties and to conduct its businesses as described in the Basic Prospectus, as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement;

     (iii) Each of the subsidiaries of the Company named on Annex I has been duly incorporated or organized and is an existing corporation [or other entity] in good standing under the laws of its respective jurisdiction of incorporation [or organization]; and each of such subsidiaries has corporate [or other organizational] power and authority to own its respective properties and to conduct its respective business as described in the Basic Prospectus, as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, except where the failure to have such power would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect as defined in Section 1(j) of the Underwriting Agreement;

     (iv) The issue and sale of the Securities, and the compliance by the Company with all of the provisions of the Securities, the Indenture and the Underwriting Agreement will not result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any material indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, or other material agreement or instrument in effect on the date hereof and known to me, to which the Company is a party or by which the Company may be bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company is subject or violate any judgment, order or decree of any court or other governmental body applicable to the Company, except for such breaches, defaults and violations that would not have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement) or affect the validity of the Securities, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the By-Laws of the Company in effect on the date hereof [or in a violation of any Federal laws of the United States, the laws of the State of New York or the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (including in each case the published rules or regulations thereunder) that in my experience normally would be applicable to general business corporations and transactions such as those contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement; provided, however, that such term does not include Federal or state securities laws, other antifraud laws and fraudulent transfer laws, tax laws, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, antitrust laws or any law that is applicable to the Company, the Underwriting Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby solely as part of a regulatory regime applicable to the Company or its affiliates due to its or their status, business or assets)]. No consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any court or any regulatory authority or other governmental body is required for

the issue and sale of the Securities or the consummation by the Company of the other transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement or the Indenture, except such as have been obtained under the Act and the Trust Indenture Act, and except the consent of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“FRBNY”) required by the Credit Agreement, dated as of September 22, 2008, as amended from time to time, between the Company and FRBNY, which consent has been obtained, and except for such consents, approvals, authorizations, orders, registrations or qualifications the failure to obtain or make would not have a Material Adverse Effect or affect the validity of the Securities or as may be required under state securities or Blue Sky laws (including insurance laws of any state relating to offers and sales of securities in such state) in connection with the purchase and distribution of the Securities by the Underwriters, as contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement;

     (v) Nothing which came to my attention has caused me to believe that, insofar as relevant to the offering of the Securities,

     (a) the Registration Statement, as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or

     (b) the Pricing Disclosure Package, as of [__:00] [A/P].M. on [•] (the “Applicable Time”) [, when considered together with [insert reference to any disclosure added in the final prospectus supplement]], contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or

     (c) the Basic Prospectus, as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement and as the date hereof, contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

     (vi) The statements contained in the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement, under the captions [“Description of Debt Securities AIG May Offer”] in the Basic Prospectus and [“Description of the [Notes] We May Offer”] and [“Underwriting”] in the Prospectus Supplement, in each case insofar as they relate to provisions of the Securities, the Indenture and the Underwriting Agreement, constitute a fair and accurate summary of such provisions in all material respects; and

     (vii) The documents incorporated by reference in the Basic Prospectus, as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, as of the date they became effective or were filed with the Commission, as the case may be, complied as to form in all material respects with the Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.

     (viii) To the best of my knowledge, there are no legal or governmental proceedings pending or threatened of a character required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement and the Basic Prospectus, as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, which are not disclosed and described therein.

          In rendering the opinion in paragraph (v), I do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement, the Post-Effective Amendment, the Basic Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement or the Pricing Disclosure Package, except to the extent specifically noted in paragraph (vi). Also, in rendering the opinion in paragraphs (v), (vi) and (vii), I do not express any opinion or belief as to the financial statements or other financial data derived from accounting records contained in the Registration Statement, the Post-Effective Amendment, the Basic Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement or the Pricing Disclosure Package, or as to management’s report of its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting or the auditors’ report as to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, each as included in the Registration Statement, the Post Effective Amendment, the Basic Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement or the Pricing Disclosure Package, or as to the statement of the eligibility and qualification of the Trustee.

          The foregoing opinion is limited to the Federal laws of the United States, the laws of the State of New York, [insert jurisdictions of local counsel named below] 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. With respect to all matters of [insert jurisdictions of local counsel] law, I have relied upon the opinions, dated ______________, of ____________________, General Counsel of [name of subsidiary], [add names of other local counsel for other jurisdictions] delivered to you pursuant to Section __ of the Underwriting Agreement, and my opinion is subject to the same [assumptions][,] [qualifications] [and] [limitations] with respect to such matters as are contained in such opinions. In addition, in rendering the opinion in (iii) above, insofar as it concerns (a) American Home Assurance Company, I have relied on the opinion, dated ___________, of ____________, General Counsel of American Home Assurance Company, and (b) Commerce and Industry Insurance Company, I have relied on the opinion, dated __________, of ___________, General Counsel of Commerce and Industry Insurance Company, and in each case my opinion is subject to the same [assumptions][,] [qualifications] [and] [limitations] with respect to such matters as are contained in such opinions.]

          I have also relied as to certain matters upon information obtained from public officials, officers of the Company and other sources believed by me to be responsible, and I have assumed that the Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Trustee, that the Securities conform to the respective specimens thereof examined by me, that the Trustee’s certificates of authentication of the Securities have been manually signed by one of the Trustee’s authorized officers, and that the signatures on all documents examined by me are genuine, assumptions which I have not independently verified.

          This letter is furnished by me, as Senior Vice President and Deputy General Counsel of the Company, to you, as Representatives of the Underwriters, solely for the benefit of the Underwriters in their capacity as such, and may not be relied upon by any other person. This opinion may not be quoted, referred to or furnished to any purchaser or prospective purchaser of the Securities and may not be used in furtherance of any offer or sale of the Securities.

Very truly yours,

     The definitions of certain terms used in the paragraph above are listed below.

     “Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date.

Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Quotation Agent after consultation with the Company.

     In the event of redemption of the Notes in part only, a new Note or Notes of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

     As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Note shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Notes of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Notes of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made

written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Notes of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or premium, if any, or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

ARTICLE II
APPOINTMENT AND STATUS OF SECURITIES INTERMEDIARY;
ACCOUNTS

     1. Appointment; Identification of Collateral. (a) Secured Party and Pledgor each hereby appoints Securities Intermediary to perform its duties as hereinafter set forth and authorizes Securities Intermediary to hold the Collateral in the Account in registered form in its name or the name of its nominees. The Parties agree that all financial assets (except cash) in the Account will be registered in the name of Securities Intermediary or the name of its nominees and no financial asset in the Account will be registered in the name of Pledgor, payable to the order of Pledgor or specially indorsed to Pledgor unless such financial asset has been further indorsed to Securities Intermediary or in blank. Securities Intermediary hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to establish and maintain the Account and appropriate records identifying the Collateral in the Account as pledged by Pledgor to Secured Party. Pledgor hereby authorizes Securities Intermediary to comply with all Written Instructions, including entitlement orders, originated by Secured Party with respect to the Collateral without further consent or direction from Pledgor or any other party. The Parties hereby agree that the Account is and will remain a securities account as defined in Section 8-501(a) of the UCC and that Secured Party is an entitlement holder with respect to the Account.

The Parties agree that Securities Intermediary is a securities intermediary and intend that each item of property (whether investment property, financial asset, security, instrument, cash or other property) held in the Account shall be treated as a “financial asset” within the meaning of Sections 8-102(a)(9) and 8-103 of the UCC.

Financial assets deposited in or maintained by a Depository will be represented in accounts that include only assets held by Securities Intermediary for its customers.

ARTICLE III
COLLATERAL SERVICES

     1. Transfers; Substitutions; Investment of Funds. The Account shall be operated solely on the Written Instructions of Pledgor, which may direct the investment of cash in the Account as set forth below until receipt by Securities Intermediary of Written Instructions from Secured Party terminating Pledgor’s rights to give such Written Instructions relating to the Account (an “Exclusive Control Notice”), whereupon the right to give such Written Instructions shall be vested solely with Secured Party. All transfers of non-cash Collateral into or out of the Account shall be made free of payment. Securities Intermediary shall invest and reinvest the cash in the Account in one or more Permitted Investments in accordance with the Written Instructions of Pledgor, as soon as reasonably practicable following Securities Intermediary’s receipt of such Written Instructions. Securities Intermediary will not be liable for any losses resulting from any investment made in accordance with the terms of this Article III, Section 1. In the absence of Written Instructions directing the investment of the cash in the Account in accordance with this Agreement, such cash shall remain uninvested.

     Solely as an agreement between Pledgor and Secured Party, Secured Party agrees that it shall not give an Exclusive Control Notice to Securities Intermediary under the terms of the foregoing unless a Default or Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) has occurred or Secured Party otherwise deems itself insecure with respect to the obligations secured by the Account and the assets credited thereto.

     2. Payment of Proceeds. Until Securities Intermediary receives a Written Instruction from Secured Party to the contrary, Securities Intermediary shall credit to the Account all proceeds, including without limitation all interest and principal payments, received by it with respect to the Collateral. For tax reporting purposes, all earnings on Permitted Investments shall be considered the property of Pledgor. Pledgor shall furnish Securities Intermediary upon execution of this Agreement, and as subsequently required, all appropriate U.S. tax forms and information in order for Securities Intermediary to comply with U.S. tax regulations.

     3. No Lien or Pledge by Securities Intermediary. Securities Intermediary agrees that the Account and the Collateral in the Account shall not be subject to any security interest, lien or right of set-off by Securities Intermediary or any third party claiming through Securities Intermediary, and Securities Intermediary shall not pledge, encumber, hypothecate, transfer, dispose of, or otherwise grant any third party an interest in the Collateral.

     4. Notice of Adverse Claims. Except for the claims and interests of Secured Party and Pledgor, Securities Intermediary does not know of any claim to, or interest in, the Account, any financial asset credited thereto or any security entitlement in respect thereof. Upon receipt of written notice of any lien, encumbrance or adverse claim against the Account or any portion of the Collateral carried therein, Securities Intermediary shall use reasonable efforts to notify Secured Party and Pledgor as promptly as practicable under the circumstances.

ARTICLE IV

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Securities Intermediary shall not be liable for any costs, expenses, damages, liabilities or claims, including attorneys’ fees (“Losses”) incurred by or asserted against Pledgor or Secured Party, except those Losses arising out of the negligence or willful misconduct of Securities Intermediary. Securities Intermediary shall have no liability whatsoever for the action or inaction of any Depository. In no event shall Securities Intermediary be liable for special, indirect or consequential damages, or lost profits or loss of business, arising in connection with this Agreement.

Secured Party agrees

to indemnify Securities Intermediary for Losses sustained or incurred by or asserted against Securities Intermediary arising out of Secured Party’s negligence or willful misconduct or Secured Party’s Written Instruction in connection with this Agreement, except Secured Party shall not indemnify Securities Intermediary for those Losses arising out of Securities Intermediary’s negligence or willful misconduct. This indemnity shall be a continuing obligation of Pledgor and Secured Party, as applicable, and their respective successors and assigns, notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement.

     2. No Obligation Regarding Quality of Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Securities Intermediary shall be under no obligation to inquire into, and shall not be liable for, any Losses incurred by Pledgor, Secured Party or any other person as a result of the receipt or acceptance of fraudulent, forged or invalid Collateral, or Collateral which otherwise is not freely transferable or deliverable without encumbrance in any relevant market.

     3. No Responsibility Concerning Pledge Agreement or Credit Agreement.

     4. No Duty of Oversight. Securities Intermediary is not at any time under any duty to monitor the value of any Collateral in the Account or whether the Collateral is of a type required to be held in the Account, or to supervise the investment of, or to advise or make any recommendation for the purchase, sale, retention or disposition of any Collateral.

Pledgor shall also reimburse Securities Intermediary for out-of-pocket expenses which are a normal incident of the services provided hereunder.

     8. Effectiveness of Written Instructions. Securities Intermediary shall be entitled to rely upon any Written Instructions actually received by Securities Intermediary and reasonably believed by Securities Intermediary to be duly authorized and delivered, in accordance with the Agreement including, without limitation, Written Instructions sent via unsecured facsimile or e-mail transmission. Securities Intermediary may request that Pledgor and Secured Party deliver a certificate setting forth the names of individuals and or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specific actions pursuant to this Agreement and shall be entitled to rely upon such certificate until a new certificate is delivered to Securities Intermediary.

     9. Recording of Telephone Conversations. The Parties acknowledge that telephone conversations made in connection with this Agreement may be recorded.

     10. Inspection. Upon reasonable advance request and provided Securities Intermediary shall suffer no significant disruption of its normal activities, Secured Party or Pledgor shall have access to Securities Intermediary’s books and records relating to the Account during Securities Intermediary’s normal business hours. Upon reasonable request, copies of any such books and records shall be provided to Secured Party or Pledgor at its expense.

Under no circumstances shall Securities Intermediary be liable for any loss, damage or expense suffered or incurred by Pledgor or Secured Party as a result of errors or omissions with respect to any pricing or other information utilized by Securities Intermediary hereunder.

     14. No Implied Duties. Securities Intermediary shall have no duties or responsibilities whatsoever except such duties and responsibilities as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, and no covenant or obligation shall be implied against Securities Intermediary in connection with this Agreement. Securities Intermediary has not entered into, and until the termination of this Agreement will not enter into, any agreement with any person relating to the Account and/or any financial asset held thereto pursuant to which it has agreed, or will agree, to comply with the entitlement orders of such person. No provision of this Agreement shall require Securities Intermediary to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

     3. Cumulative Rights; No Waiver. Each and every right granted to Securities Intermediary hereunder or under any other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, or allowed it by law or equity, shall be cumulative and may be exercised from time to time. No failure on the part of Securities Intermediary to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise by Securities Intermediary of any right preclude any other future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

     4. Severability; Amendments; Assignment. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected thereby. This Agreement may not be amended or modified in any manner except by a written agreement executed by the Parties. This Agreement shall extend to and shall be binding upon the Parties, and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that this Agreement shall not be assignable by any party without the written consent of the other parties.

     5. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial Waiver; Waiver of Immunity. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. The State of New York shall be deemed to be Securities Intermediary’s jurisdiction for purposes of the UCC (including, without limitation, Section 8-110 thereof). Each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees

that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive. Each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any New York State or federal court. Each Party hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

     Each Party hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any and all right to trial by jury in any action, suit, counterclaim, or cross claim arising in connection with, out of, or otherwise relating to this Agreement, the Collateral, or any transaction or agreement arising therefrom or related thereto.

     If Pledgor or its property is now, or in the future becomes, entitled to any immunity, whether characterized as sovereign or otherwise (including, without limitation, immunity from set-off, from service of process, from jurisdiction of any court or tribunal, from attachment in aid of execution, from attachment prior to the entry of a judgment, or from execution upon a judgment) in any legal proceeding in Federal or State courts in the United States of America, or in the courts of the country where Pledgor is chartered, or in the courts of the country in which Pledgor principally conducts its business, then Pledgor expressly and irrevocably waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any such immunity. To the extent Pledgor receives any such entitlement in the future, Pledgor shall promptly notify Secured Party of such entitlement.

     6. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. In performing hereunder, Securities Intermediary is acting solely on behalf of Secured Party and Pledgor and no contractual or service relationship shall be deemed to be established hereby between Securities Intermediary and any other person.

     7. Headings. Section headings are included in this Agreement for convenience only and shall have no substantive effect on its interpretation.

     8. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but such counterparts shall, together, constitute only one instrument.

     9. USA PATRIOT ACT. Pledgor and Secured Party hereby acknowledge that Securities Intermediary is subject to federal laws, including the Customer Identification Program (CIP) requirements under the USA PATRIOT Act and its implementing regulations, pursuant to which Securities Intermediary must obtain, verify and record information that allows Securities Intermediary to identify each of Pledgor and Secured Party. Accordingly, prior to opening the Account hereunder Securities Intermediary will ask Pledgor and/or Secured Party to provide certain information including, but not limited to, Pledgor’s and/or Secured Party’s name, physical address, tax identification number and other information that will help Securities Intermediary to identify and verify each of Pledgor’s and Secured Party’s identity such as organizational documents, certificate of good standing, license to do business, or other pertinent identifying information. Pledgor and Secured Party agree that Securities Intermediary cannot open the Account hereunder unless and until Securities Intermediary verifies Pledgor’s and/or Secured Party’s identity in accordance with its CIP.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Secured Party, Pledgor and Securities Intermediary have caused this Agreement to be executed by their respective officers, thereunto duly authorized, as of the day and year first above written.
