AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL GROUP, INC.



2007 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN



NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR DEFERRED STOCK UNITS AWARD AGREEMENT




     This award agreement (this “Award Agreement”) sets forth the terms and conditions of an award
(this “Award”) of $___in deferred stock units (“DSUs”) granted to you under the American
International Group, Inc. 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (as amended and restated from time to time, the
“Plan”).



     1. The Plan. This Award is made pursuant to the Plan, the terms of which are
incorporated in this Award Agreement. Capitalized terms used in this Award Agreement which are not
defined in this Award Agreement have the meanings as used or defined in the Plan.



     2. Award. The number of DSUs set forth on the signature page of this Award Agreement
are subject to this Award. Each DSU constitutes an unfunded and unsecured promise of AIG to
deliver (or cause to be delivered) to you, subject to the terms of this Award Agreement, one share
of Common Stock (a “Share” or “Shares” as the context requires) (or securities or other property
equal to the Fair Market Value thereof) on the Delivery Date as provided herein. Until such
delivery, you have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor and no rights as a shareholder
of AIG. In the event the calculation of the number of DSUs subject to this Award Agreement results
in fractional shares, the number of Shares shall be rounded down to the next whole Share. THIS
AWARD IS SUBJECT TO ALL TERMS, CONDITIONS AND PROVISIONS OF THE PLAN AND THIS AWARD AGREEMENT.



     3. Delivery.



          (a) In General. Except as provided below in this Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 8, the
Delivery Date shall be on the last Trading Day of the month in which you cease to be a director of
the Board. AIG may deliver securities or other property based on the Fair Market Value in lieu of
all or any portion of the Shares otherwise deliverable on the Delivery Date. You shall be the
beneficial owner of any Shares at the close of business on the Delivery Date and shall be entitled
to any dividend or distribution that has not already been made with respect to such Shares if the
record date for such dividend or distribution is on or after the close of business on the Delivery
Date. “Trading Day” means a day on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock
Exchange or, if the Common Stock is not then listed on the New York Stock Exchange, on the
principal national or regional securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed or, if
the Common Stock is not then listed on a national or regional securities exchange, on the principal
other market on which the Common Stock is then traded.




          (b) Death. Notwithstanding any other term or provision of this Award Agreement, if
you die prior to the Delivery Date, the Shares (or securities or other property in lieu of all or
any portion thereof) corresponding to your outstanding DSUs shall be delivered to the
representative of your estate as soon as practicable after the date of death and after such
documentation as may be requested by the Board is provided to the Board.




 









 








     4. Dividend Equivalent Rights. On the last day of each quarter before the delivery of
Shares (or securities or other property in lieu thereof) pursuant to this Award Agreement, you
shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash equal to any regular cash dividend payment that
would have been distributed during such quarter in respect of the Shares not yet delivered.



     5. Non-transferability. Except as may otherwise be provided in this Paragraph or as
otherwise may be provided by the Board, the limitations set forth in Section 3.5 of the Plan shall
apply. Any assignment in violation of the provisions of this Paragraph 5 shall be void. The Board
may adopt procedures pursuant to which you may transfer some or all of your DSUs through a gift for
no consideration to any child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse,
sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law
or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships, any person sharing the recipient’s household
(other than a tenant or employee), a trust in which these persons have more than 50% of the
beneficial interest, and any other entity in which these persons (or the recipient) own more than
50% of the voting interests.



     6. Withholding, Consents and Legends.



          (a) The delivery of Shares is conditioned on your satisfaction of any applicable withholding
taxes in accordance with Section 3.2 of the Plan.




          (b) Your rights in respect of the DSUs are conditioned on the receipt to the full satisfaction
of the Board of any required consents (as defined in Section 3.3 of the Plan) that the Board may
determine to be necessary or advisable.




          (c) AIG may affix to Certificates representing Shares issued pursuant to this Award Agreement
any legend that the Board determines to be necessary or advisable. AIG may advise the transfer
agent to place a stop order against any legended Shares.




     7. Successors and Assigns of AIG. The terms and conditions of this Award Agreement
shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of AIG and its successors and assigns.



     8. Amendment. The Board reserves the right at any time to amend the terms and
conditions set forth in this Award Agreement in any respect in accordance with Section 1.3 of the
Plan, and the Board may amend the Plan in any respect in accordance with Section 3.1 of the Plan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing and Sections 1.3.1 and 3.1 of the Plan, no such amendment shall
materially adversely affect your rights and obligations under this Award Agreement without your
consent (or the consent of your estate, if such consent is obtained after your death), and the
Board may not accelerate the delivery of the Shares (or securities or other property in lieu of any
or all of the Shares). Any amendment of this Award Agreement shall be in writing signed by an
authorized member of the Board or any other person or persons authorized by the Board.
