Exhibit 10.1

MANAGEMENT PERFORMANCE SHARE AGREEMENT

     MetLife, Inc. confirms that, on [grant date] (the “Grant Date”), it granted you,
[name], [number] Performance Shares (your “Performance Shares”). Your Performance Shares
are subject to the terms and conditions of this Management Performance Share Agreement
(this “Agreement”) and the MetLife, Inc. 2005 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan (the
“Plan”).

     1. Standard Performance Terms.

     (a) The terms of this Section 1 shall be referred to as the “Standard Performance
Terms” and will apply to your Performance Shares except in so far as Sections 2 (Change of
Status) or 3 (Change of Control) apply.

     (b) The Performance Period for your Performance Shares will begin on [date], [year]
and end on the December 31 immediately preceding the third anniversary of the beginning of
the Performance Period. After the conclusion of the Performance Period, the Committee
shall certify in writing the number of Performance Shares payable in accordance with this
Section 1 (your “Final Performance Shares”), and your Final Performance Shares will be due
and payable in Shares at the time specified in Section 8.

     (c) If the Committee determines in writing that the Company had net income available
to common shareholders for either the third calendar year of the Performance Period or for
the Performance Period as a whole, then you will be eligible for a payment of up to 200% of
your Performance Shares. Net income available to common shareholders for any period will
be determined with reference to the Company’s Form 10-K on file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission for the third year of the Performance Period on the date of the
Committee’s determination.

     (d) If, under Section 1(c), you are eligible for a payment, the Committee will
determine your Final Performance Shares by multiplying your Performance Shares by the
“Performance Factor.” The Performance Factor means a percentage (from zero to 200%) which
is the sum of two other percentages (each from zero to 100%), described in (1) and (2)
below, multiplied by the factor determined by (3) below, if applicable.

     (1) The first percentage will be based on the Company’s average percentile
performance with respect to Change in Annual Net Operating Income Available to
Common Shareholders Per Share during the Performance Period relative to the other
companies in the Index, determined in the following manner:

     (a) First, the Net Operating Income Available to Common Shareholders
Per Share will be determined for the Company and for each of the other
companies in the Index, for each calendar year of the Performance Period
and the calendar immediately preceding the first calendar year of the
Performance Period. For this purpose, “Net Operating Income Available to
Common
Shareholders Per Share” for each calendar year will have the meaning
of that term, or its substantial equivalent, defined in or derived from
the Company’s quarterly financial supplement for the fourth quarter of the
prior year filed with or furnished to the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission.

 

 

     (b) Second, the Change in Annual Net Operating Income Available to Common
Shareholders Per Share will be determined for the Company and for each of the other
companies in the Index for each calendar year of the Performance Period. For this
purpose, “Change in Annual Net Operating Income Available to Common Shareholders
Per Share” means Net Operating Income Available to Common Shareholders Per Share
for each calendar year of the Performance Period divided by Net Operating Income
Available to Common Shareholders Per Share in the immediately preceding calendar
year.

     (c) Third, the Company’s Change in Annual Net Operating Income Available to
Common Shareholders Per Share for each calendar year of the Performance Period will
be compared to the Change in Annual Net Operating Income Available to Common
Shareholders Per Share for each of the other companies in the Index for the same
calendar year to determine the percentage of the other companies in the Index whose
performance was less than that of the Company, rounded down to the nearest whole
number percentile appearing on the left-hand column of Table 2 of Schedule A to
this Agreement (Company performance greater than every other company in the Index
being deemed to be performance in the ninety-ninth percentile), producing the
Company’s percentile performance relative to the other companies in the Index.

     (d) Fourth, a percentage for each calendar year of the Performance Period
will be determined using the percentile determined under Section 1(d)(1)(c) and the
corresponding percentage on the right-hand column of Table 1 of Schedule A to this
Agreement.

     (e) Finally, the three percentages referenced in Section (1)(d)(1)(d) will be
averaged.

     (2) The second percentage will be based on the Company’s performance with respect to
Proportionate Total Shareholder Return during the Performance Period as a percentage of
that of the Index, determined according to Table 2 of Schedule A to this Agreement,
determined in the following manner:

     
(a) First, the Initial Closing Price of the Company
and the Index will each be determined. For this purpose, “Initial Closing Price” means, in
the case of the Company the average Closing Price, and in the case of the Index the value
of the Index, in each case for the twenty (20) trading days prior to the first day of the
Performance Period.

     (b) Second, the Final Closing Price of the Company and the Index will each be
determined. For this purpose, “Final Closing Price” means, in the case of the
Company the average Closing Price, and in the case of the Index the value of the
Index, in each case for the twenty (20) trading days prior to and including the
final day of the Performance Period.

     (c) Third, the Total Shareholder Return of the Company and the Index will
each be determined, and expressed as a percentage. For this
purpose, “Total Shareholder Return” means the change (plus or minus) from the
Initial Closing Price to the Final

2

 

Closing Price, plus (in the case of the Company) dividends (if any) actually paid
on Shares on a reinvested basis from the first day of the Performance Period to and
including the last day of the Performance Period.

     (d) Fourth, the Proportionate Total Shareholder Return of the
Company and the Index will each be determined. For this purpose,
“Proportionate Total Shareholder Return” means Total Shareholder Return
divided by Initial Closing Price.

     (e) Fifth, the Proportionate Total Shareholder Return of the Index
will be subtracted from the Company’s Proportionate Total Shareholder
Return, and the result rounded up or down to the nearest percentage
appearing on the left-hand column of Table 2 of Schedule A to this
Agreement (any result precisely halfway between two percentages being
rounded up to the next highest percentage).

     (f) Finally, a percentage will be determined using the result
produced under Section 1(d)(2)(e) and the corresponding percentage on the
right-hand column of Table 2 of Schedule A to this Agreement.

     (3) If the Total Shareholder Return of the Company, as determined under
Section (1)(d)(2)(c), is zero percent or less, then the sum of the percentages
described under Sections (1)(d)(1) and (1)(d)(2) will be multiplied by a factor of
seventy-five hundredths (0.75) and rounded up or down to the nearest whole
percentage (any result precisely halfway between two percentages being rounded up
to the next highest percentage) to determine the Performance Factor.

     (e) For purposes of Section 1(d)(1), the companies in the Index refers to each
company, other than the Company, that:

     (1) does not adopt International Financial
Reporting Standards with respect to a reporting period earlier than the reporting period
with respect to which the Company does so,

     (2) has publicly reported its earnings in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
for each of the two calendar years being compared under Section 1(d)(1)(b); and

     (3) is
included in the Standard & Poor’s Insurance Index derived from Fortune 500 companies for
the entirety of the second of the two calendar years being compared under Section
1(d)(1)(b).

     (f) For purposes of Section 1(d)(2), the Index refers to the Standard & Poor’s
Insurance Index derived from Fortune 500 companies, including any weighting of the stock of
the companies included in that index that is applied by Standard & Poor’s, from time to
time.

     2. Change of Status. For purposes of this Section 2, your transfer between the
Company and an Affiliate, or among Affiliates, will not be a termination of employment. In
the event of a Change of Control, any applicable terms of Section 3 (Change of Control)
will supersede the terms of this Section 2.

3

 

     (a) Long-Term Disability. In the event you qualify for long-term disability benefits
under a plan or arrangement offered by the Company or an Affiliate for its Employees, the
Standard Performance Terms will continue to apply to your Performance Shares. Once this
provision applies, no other change of status described in this Section 2 (except the
provision regarding termination for Cause) will affect your Performance Shares, even if you
subsequently return to active service or your employment with the Company or an Affiliate
terminates other than for Cause.

     (b) Death. In the event that your employment with the Company or an Affiliate
terminates due to your death, your Performance Shares will be due and payable in Shares (or
cash at a value equal to the Closing Price on the date of your death, if so determined by
the Committee). Any payment will be made at the time specified in Section 8.

     (c) Retirement. If your employment with the Company or an Affiliate terminates
(other than for Cause) on after your early retirement date or normal retirement date (in
each case determined under any ERISA qualified pension plan offered by the Company or an
Affiliate in which you participate) (“Retirement”), the Standard Performance Terms will
continue to apply to your Performance Shares.

     (d) Bridge Eligibility. If your employment with the Company or an Affiliate
terminates (other than for Cause) with bridge eligibility for retirement-related medical
benefits (determined under an ERISA qualified benefit plan offered by the Company or an
Affiliate in which you participate, if any) (“Bridge Eligibility”), and your separation
agreement (offered to you under the severance program offered by the Company or an
Affiliate to its Employees) becomes final, the Standard Performance Terms will continue to
apply to your Performance Shares.

     (e) Termination for Cause. In the event that your employment with the Company or an
Affiliate terminates for Cause, your Performance Shares will be forfeited immediately.

     (f) Other Termination of Employment. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, if
no other provision in this Section 2 regarding change of status applies, including, for
example, your voluntary termination of employment, your termination without Retirement or
Bridge Eligibility, or your termination by the Company or an Affiliate without Cause, your
Performance Shares will be forfeited immediately unless you are offered a separation
agreement by the Company or an Affiliate under a severance program. To the extent your
separation agreement becomes final, your Prorated Performance Shares will be due and
payable to you. Any payment will be made at the time specified in Section 8. The number
of your “Prorated Performance Shares” will be determined by dividing the number of calendar
months in the Performance Period that have ended as of the end of the month of the
termination of your employment by thirty-six (36), multiplying the result by the number of
your Performance Shares, and rounding to the nearest whole number; provided, however, that
if the
date of the termination of your employment is prior to the first anniversary of the
beginning of the Performance Period, then the number of your Prorated Performance Shares
shall be zero (0). Payment for each of your Prorated Performance Shares will be made in
cash at a value equal to the Closing Price on the Grant Date, and shall be rounded to the
nearest one-hundred dollars ($100.00). If your separation agreement does not become final,
your Performance Shares will be forfeited.

     3. Change of Control.

     (a) Except as provided in Section 3(b), and unless otherwise prohibited under law or
by applicable rules of a national security exchange, if a Change of Control occurs, your
Performance

4

 

Shares will be due and payable in the form of cash equal to the number of your Performance Shares
multiplied by the Change of Control Price. Any payment will be made at the time specified in
Section 8.

     (b) The terms of Section 3(a) will not apply to your Performance Shares if the
Committee reasonably determines in good faith, prior to the Change of Control, that you
have been granted an Alternative Award for your Performance Shares pursuant to Section 15.2
of the Plan. Any such Alternative Award shall not accelerate the timing of payment or
otherwise violate Code Section 409A.

     4. Nontransferability of Awards. Except as provided in Section 5 or as otherwise
permitted by the Committee, you may not sell, transfer, pledge, assign or otherwise
alienate or hypothecate any of your Performance Shares, and all rights with respect to your
Performance Shares are exercisable during your lifetime only by you.

     5. Beneficiary Designation. You may name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may
be named contingently or successively) who may then exercise any right under this Agreement
in the event of your death. Each beneficiary designation for such purpose will revoke all
such prior designations. Beneficiary designations must be properly completed on a form
prescribed by the Committee and must be filed with the Company during your lifetime. If
you have not designated a beneficiary, your rights under this Agreement will pass to and
may be exercised by your estate.

     6. Tax Withholding. The Company will withhold from payment made under this Agreement
an amount sufficient to satisfy the minimum statutory Federal, state, and local tax
withholding requirements relating to payment on account of your Performance Shares.

     7. Adjustments. The Committee will make appropriate adjustments in the terms and
conditions of your Performance Shares in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events
affecting the Company or its financial statements (such as a Common Stock dividend, Common
Stock split, recapitalization, payment of an extraordinary dividend, merger, consolidation,
combination, spin-off, distribution of assets to stockholders other than ordinary cash
dividends, exchange of shares, or other similar corporate change), or in recognition of
changes to applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles, to prevent unintended
dilution or enlargement of the potential benefits of your Performance Shares. The
Committee’s determinations in this regard will be conclusive.

     8. Timing of Payment.

     (a) This Agreement is intended to comply with Code Section 409A and shall be
interpreted accordingly. If Shares are to be paid to you, you will receive evidence of
ownership of those Shares.

     (b) If payment is due and payable under Section 2(b), it will be made upon your
death.

     (c) If payment is due and payable under Section 2(f), it will be made six (6)
months after the termination of your employment (or six (6) months
after your “separation from service” under Code Section 409A, if that is a different
date).

     (d) If payment is due and payable under Section 3(a), and the Change of Control that
causes payment to be due and payable is a “change of control” as defined under Code Section
409A, such sum shall be paid to you within thirty (30) days of the Change of Control. If
payment is due and payable under Section 3(a), and the Change of Control that causes
payment to be due and payable is not a

5

 

“change of control” as defined under Code Section 409A, such sum shall be paid to you at the time
determined under Section 8(e).

     (e) If payment is due and payable under the Standard Performance Terms and you have
chosen to defer payment under an applicable deferred compensation plan offered by the
Company or an Affiliate, payment will be made at the time determined under that plan. If
payment is due and payable under the Standard Performance Terms and you have not chosen to
defer payment under an applicable deferred compensation plan offered by the Company or an
Affiliate, payment will be made in the calendar year after the end of the Performance
Period.

     9. Closing Price. For purpose of this Agreement, “Closing Price” will mean the
closing price of a Share as reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting
system for the New York Stock Exchange (or on such other recognized quotation system on
which the trading prices of the Shares are quoted at the relevant time), or in the event
that there are no Share transactions reported on such tape or other system on the
applicable date, the closing price on the immediately preceding date on which Share
transactions were reported. Closing Price shall constitute “Fair Market Value” under the
Plan for all purposes related to your Performance Shares.

     10. No Guarantee of Employment. This Agreement is not a contract of employment and
it is not a guarantee of employment for life or any period of time. Nothing in this
Agreement interferes with or limits in any way the right of the Company or an Affiliate to
terminate your employment at any time. This Agreement does not give you any right to
continue in the employ of the Company or an Affiliate.

     11. Governing Law; Choice of Forum. This Agreement will be construed in accordance
with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the law that might be
applied under principles of conflict of laws. Any action to enforce this Agreement or any
action otherwise regarding this Agreement must be brought in a court in the State of New
York, to which jurisdiction the Company and you consent.

     12. Miscellaneous. For purposes of this Agreement, “Committee” includes any direct
or indirect delegate of the Committee as defined in the Plan and (unless otherwise
indicated) the word “Section” refers to a Section in this Agreement. Any other capitalized
word used in this Agreement and not defined in this Agreement, including each form of that
word, is defined in the Plan. Any determination or interpretation by the Committee
pursuant to this Agreement will be final and conclusive. In the event of a conflict
between any term of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan
control. This Agreement and the Plan represent the entire agreement between you and the
Company, and you and all Affiliates, regarding your Performance Shares. No promises,
terms, or agreements of any kind regarding your Performance Shares that are not set forth,
or referred to, in this Agreement or in the Plan are part of this Agreement. In the event
any provision of this Agreement is held illegal or
invalid, the rest of this Agreement will remain enforceable. If you are an Employee
of an Affiliate, your Performance Shares are being provided to you by the Company on behalf
of that Affiliate, and the value of your Performance Shares will be considered a
compensation obligation of that Affiliate. Your Performance Shares are not Shares and do
not give you the rights of a holder of Shares. You will not be credited with additional
Performance Shares on account of any dividend paid on Shares. The issuance of Shares or
payment of cash pursuant to your Performance Shares is subject to all applicable laws,
rules and regulations, and to any approvals by any governmental agencies or national
securities exchanges as may be required. No Shares will be issued

6

 

or no cash will be paid if that issuance or payment would result in a violation of applicable law,
including the federal securities laws and any applicable state or foreign securities laws.

     13. Amendments. The Committee has the exclusive right to amend this Agreement as
long as the amendment does not adversely affect any of your previously-granted Awards in
any material way (without your written consent) and is otherwise consistent with the Plan.
The Company will give written notice to you (or, in the event of your death, to your
beneficiary or estate) of any amendment as promptly as practicable after its adoption.

     14. Agreement to Protect Corporate Property. The grant of your Performance Shares is
subject to your execution of the Agreement to Protect Corporate Property provided to you
with this Agreement (“Property Agreement”). If you do not return a signed copy of the
Property Agreement, this Agreement and the Performance Shares granted to you will be void.
The Company may in its sole discretion allow an extension of time for you to return your
signed Property Agreement.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused its duly authorized officer to execute this
Agreement, and you have executed this Agreement.

Exhibit 10.1

SERIES C PERPETUAL, CONVERTIBLE, PARTICIPATING PREFERRED STOCK

PURCHASE AGREEMENT

          SERIES C PERPETUAL, CONVERTIBLE, PARTICIPATING PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this
“Agreement”), dated as of March 1, 2009, between AIG CREDIT FACILITY TRUST, a trust
established for the sole benefit of the United States Treasury (the “Trust”), and AMERICAN
INTERNATIONAL GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). In this Agreement,
references to the Trust shall include the Trustees acting in their capacities as such trustees as
the context may require. Reference is made to Article 1 below for the meaning of certain
capitalized terms used herein.

Background

          A. Pursuant to Section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act, 12 U.S.C. § 343, the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System determined that unusual and exigent circumstances existed
both with respect to the financial condition of the Company and its likely impact on the nation’s
economic stability, and the stability of the nation’s financial and banking systems, and authorized
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the “FRBNY”), subject to certain conditions, to
extend credit to the Company pursuant to a credit agreement, dated as of September 22, 2008,
between the Company and the FRBNY (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”).

          B. The Company is obligated under the Credit Agreement to issue the Shares (as defined below)
to the Trust for the sole benefit of the United States Treasury, and the issuance of the Shares to
the Trust is intended to provide compensation for the assumption of the risks arising from the
Credit Agreement and to reduce those risks.

          C. Pursuant to Section 5.11 of the Credit Agreement, the Company and the Trust are entering
into this Agreement because the FRBNY has determined that this Agreement is necessary to effect the
issuance of the Shares.

          THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Terms and Conditions

1. DEFINITIONS

          Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in
the Credit Agreement.

          As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:

“Charter” means the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended from time to time.

“Common Stock” has the meaning set forth in the Certificate of Designations (as defined in Section
3.2 below).

“Effective Date” means the date on which this Agreement shall have been executed and delivered by
all of the parties hereto.

 

 

“Equity Units” means the Equity Units issued by the Company pursuant to the Purchase Contract

6. COVENANTS

          The Company covenants and agrees with the Trust that:

     
6.1. Board of Directors Resolutions.

          (a) The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”) shall adopt
within 45 days of the Effective Date resolutions pursuant to 8 Del. C. § 242(b), in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustees, to amend (i) the Charter to reduce the par value
of the Common Stock to $0.000001 per share, and increase the number of authorized shares of Common
Stock to 19 billion (the

5

 

“Common Stock Amendment Proposal”), (ii) the Charter to reduce the
par value of the Company’s Serial Preferred Stock (as defined in the Charter) to $0.00004 per share
and increase the number of authorized shares of the Company’s Serial Preferred Stock to 13 billion
(the “Serial Preferred Stock Amendment Proposal”), (iii) the Certificate of Designations
such that (1) the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock authorized and outstanding upon the
effectiveness of the Serial Preferred Stock Amendment Proposal shall be the Number of Underlying
Shares (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) as of the
effective date of the Serial Preferred
Stock Amendment Proposal, (2) the Conversion Ratio (as defined in the Certificate of Designations)
as of any date shall equal the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the

Designations) as of such date by (y) the Number of
Outstanding Shares as of the
effective date of such amendment and (3) the liquidation preference per share of the Series C
Preferred Stock shall be $500,000 divided by the Number of Underlying Shares as of the effective
date of such amendment (the “Series C Preferred Stock Amendment Proposal” and, collectively
with the Common Stock Amendment Proposal and the Serial Preferred
Stock Amendment Proposal, the “Special
Meeting Shareholder Proposals”), (iv) the Charter (A) to permit the Board of Directors to issue
classes of Serial Preferred Stock that are not of equal rank, such that the Board of Directors or a

or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company and (B) to cause the Series D
Preferred Stock and any other series of Serial Preferred Stock subsequently issued to the United
States Department of the Treasury to rank senior to the Series C Preferred Stock and any other
subsequently issued series of Serial Preferred Stock that is not issued to the United States
Department of the Treasury, so that as a result of these amendments the Series C Preferred Stock
and any subsequently issued series of Serial Preferred Stock that ranks pari passu with or junior
to the Series C Preferred Stock would not be entitled to vote on the subsequent creation or
issuance of any such senior Serial Preferred Stock (the “Series D Preferred Stock Amendment
Proposal”) and (v) the Charter to eliminate any restriction on the pledging of all or
substantially all of the property or assets of the Company (the “Pledging Restrictions

D Preferred Stock Amendment Proposal, the “Charter Amendment Proposals”).

          (b) Pursuant to 8 Del. C. § 242(b) the Board of Directors shall, concurrently with the

Meeting Shareholder Proposals”) be considered at the next annual meeting of the holders of the
Company’s capital stock in accordance with Section 6.2(b).

notice of and hold a special meeting of the holders of the Company’s capital stock or, if so
elected by the Trust in the notice from the Trust, direct that the Special Meeting Shareholder
Proposals be considered at the next annual

after the Company’s 2009 Annual Meeting of Shareholders), with the holders of the Common Stock
voting as a separate class in the case of the Common Stock Amendment Proposal and, if applicable,
the holders of the Company’s Serial Preferred Stock voting as a separate class in the case of the
Serial Preferred Stock Amendment Proposal and, if applicable, the holders of the Series C Preferred
Stock voting as a separate class in the case of the Series C Preferred Stock Amendment Proposal, to

Amendment Proposal and (iii) the Series C Preferred Stock Amendment Proposal; provided, that a vote
on the Serial Preferred Stock Amendment Proposal and the Series C Preferred Stock
Amendment Proposal will only be effective if the Common Stock Amendment Proposal is not
approved by the holders of the Common Stock. The Board of Directors shall recommend to the
Company’s shareholders that they vote in favor of the Special Meeting Shareholder Proposals. In
the event that the approval of all or any portion of the Special Meeting Shareholder Proposals is
not obtained at such special shareholders’ meeting, the Trust shall have the right to direct the
Company to include a proposal to approve (and the Board of Directors shall recommend approval of)
all or such portion of the Special Meeting Shareholder Proposals as the Trust may designate at the
next annual meeting of its shareholders and at each subsequent annual meeting of its shareholders
until such approval is obtained.

          (b) At and prior to the next annual meeting of the Company’s shareholders following the

and the Company’s Organizational Documents to effect the General Meeting Shareholder Proposals.
Such actions shall include, without limitation, the Board of Directors’ calling, giving notice of
and holding an annual meeting of the holders of the Company’s capital stock to vote on, among other
things the General Meeting Shareholder Proposals and without regard to any subsequent determination
made by the Board of Directors concerning the General Meeting Shareholder Proposals. The Board of
Directors shall recommend to the Company’s shareholders that they vote in favor of the General
Meeting Shareholder Proposals. In the event that the approval of the General Meeting Shareholder
Proposals is not obtained at such annual shareholders’ meeting, the Company shall include a
proposal to approve such proposals at each subsequent annual meeting of its shareholders, or at any
special meeting of the holders of the Company’s capital stock called pursuant to clause (a) above,
until such approval is obtained.

          (c) In connection with the special shareholders’ meeting and each annual shareholders’ meeting
described in clause (a) or (b) above, the Company shall prepare (and the Trust will reasonably
cooperate with the Company to prepare) and file with the SEC a preliminary proxy statement
reasonably acceptable to the Trust, shall use its reasonable best efforts to respond to any
comments of the SEC or its staff thereon and to cause a definitive proxy statement related to such
shareholders’ meeting to be mailed to the Company’s shareholders promptly after clearance thereof
by the SEC. The Company shall prepare the preliminary proxy statement describing the Special
Meeting Shareholder Proposals as promptly as practicable following the Closing Date, but shall not
file it with the SEC unless so directed by the Trust. The Company shall notify the Trust promptly
of the receipt of any comments from the SEC or its staff with respect to the proxy statement and of
any request by the SEC or its staff for amendments or supplements to such proxy statement or for
additional information and will supply the Trust with copies of all correspondence between the
Company or any of its representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or its staff, on the other
hand, with respect to such proxy statement. The Company shall, at its own expense, use its
reasonable best efforts to solicit proxies for shareholder approval of the Special Meeting
Shareholder Proposals and the General Meeting Shareholder Proposals, including, but not limited to,
selecting and retaining a proxy solicitor. If at any time prior to any such shareholders’ meeting
there shall occur any event that is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the
proxy statement, the

7

 

Company shall as promptly as practicable prepare and mail to its shareholders
such an amendment or supplement. Each of the Trust and the Company agrees promptly to correct any
information provided by it or on its behalf for use in the proxy statement if and to the extent
that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect, and the
Company shall as promptly as practicable prepare and mail to its shareholders an amendment or
supplement to correct such information to the extent required by applicable laws and regulations.
The Company shall consult with the Trust prior to filing any proxy statement, or any amendment or
supplement thereto, and provide the Trust with a reasonable opportunity to comment thereon.

          (d) None of the information supplied by the Company or any of the subsidiaries of the Company
for inclusion in any proxy statement in connection with any shareholders’ meeting of the Company
will, at the date when first mailed to the Company’s shareholders and at the time of any
shareholders’ meeting, and at the time of any amendment or supplement thereof after mailing,

misleading.

necessary or appropriate to obtain any regulatory approvals, notices, waivers or consents related

Underlying Shares that are reasonably determined by the Company to be material and that have not
been obtained on or prior to the Closing Date and shall assist the Trust in such matters.

     6.5. Takeover Laws. The Company will take all actions necessary or expedient in order to
exempt the Trust and any department, agency or instrumentality of the United States government and
the Trust’s or such other entity’s acquisition and ownership of the Series C Preferred Stock and
any Underlying Shares from, and the Trust and any such other entity and such acquisition and
ownership from, (i) the requirements of any applicable “moratorium,” “control share,” “fair price”
or other anti-takeover laws and regulations of any jurisdiction, including without limitation
Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, and (ii) any other applicable provision of the
Organizational Documents of the Company or the comparable organizational documents of any
subsidiary of the Company.

     6.6. Additional Issuance of Shares. If a Conversion Date (as defined in the Certificate of
Designations) for any of the Shares occurs prior to the issuance of Common Stock on the Third Stock
Purchase Date (as defined in the Purchase Contract Agreement) for the Equity Units, then the
Company shall, concurrently with each Stock Purchase Date, Early Settlement Date or Cash Merger
Early Settlement Date (each as defined in the Purchase Contract Agreement), as applicable, for the
Equity Units following such Conversion Date issue to the Trust or to such other Person as the Trust
may direct a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the excess of (x) the number of shares of
Common Stock the Trust would have received if it had converted such Shares immediately after the
issuance of such shares of Common Stock on such Stock Purchase Date, Early Settlement Date or Cash
Merger Early Settlement Date over (y) the number of shares of Common Stock received upon the
conversion of such Shares by the holder thereof plus the number of shares of Common Stock delivered

Equity Units. Any such shares of Common Stock issued to

8

 

the Trust shall be registered for the sole
benefit of the United States Treasury in the name of the Trustees in their capacities as Trustees
of the Trust. Any such shares of Common Stock issued to such other Person shall be registered in
the name of such other Person as the Trustees may direct in their capacities as Trustees of the
Trust.

     6.7. Depositary Shares. Upon request by the Trust in connection with a proposed transfer of
the Shares to a third party, the Company shall promptly enter into a depositary arrangement,
pursuant to customary agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Trust and with a depositary
reasonably acceptable to the Trust, pursuant to which the Shares may be deposited and depositary
shares, each representing a fraction of a Share or multiple Shares as specified by the Trust, may
be issued. From and after the execution of any such depositary arrangement, and the deposit of any
Shares pursuant thereto, the depositary shares issued pursuant thereto shall be deemed “Series
C Preferred Stock” and, as applicable, “Registrable Securities” for purposes of this
Agreement.

     6.8. Issuance of Securities. So long as the equity ownership of the Trust, determined as the
sum of the number of shares of Common Stock received upon the conversion of the Series C Preferred
Stock and still owned by the Trust and the product of the aggregate number of shares of Series C
Preferred Stock
owned by the Trust and the Conversion Ratio (whether or not shares of Series C Preferred Stock
are then convertible), shall equal or exceed 50% of the Number of Underlying Shares (as adjusted
pursuant to Section 11(G) of the Certificate of Designations), the Company shall not, without the
prior written consent of the Trust, issue or grant (i) any capital stock or equity ownership
interest, including any Participating Security (as defined in the Certificate of Designations);

permitted by applicable law, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions
contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the
invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect

STOCK CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS]

 

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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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.

(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.

Section 15. Other Rights. The shares of the Series C Preferred Stock shall not have any
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
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

13

 

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
of Directors to such persons, firms, corporations and associates and on such terms as it, in its

March 4, 2009

AIG Credit Facility Trust

c/o Kevin F. Barnard

Arnold & Porter LLP

399 Park Avenue

New York, New York 10022,

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     In connection with the purchase today by AIG Credit Facility Trust, a trust established for
the benefit of the United States Treasury (the “Trust”), pursuant to the Series C
Perpetual, Convertible, Participating Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2009
(the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), between the Trust and American International Group, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), of 100,000 shares (the “Securities”) of the
Company’s Series C Perpetual, Convertible, Participating Preferred Stock, par value $5.00 per share
(the “Series C Preferred Stock”), 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 Company has the corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform
its obligations under the Stock Purchase Agreement.

     (3) The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Stock Purchase
Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate and stockholder action (other than the actions
contemplated in Sections 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.6, 6.7 (with respect to Board of Director’s
approval only) and 6.8 (with respect to clause (ii) of the second sentence only) of the
Stock Purchase Agreement).

     (4) The Stock Purchase Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery
by the Trust, constitutes a valid and legally binding agreement of the Company enforceable
against the Company in accordance with its 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; provided,
however, that we express no opinion with respect to Sections 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.6, 6.7 and
6.8 of the Stock Purchase Agreement or the indemnification and contribution provisions of

 

 

-2-

Section 7.1 of the Stock Purchase Agreement or the severability provisions of the Stock
Purchase Agreement insofar as Sections 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.6, 6.7 and 6.8 of the
Stock Purchase Agreement or the indemnification and contribution provisions of Section
7.1 of the Stock Purchase Agreement are concerned.

     (5) The Securities have been duly authorized and, when issued and authenticated in
accordance with the provisions of the Stock Purchase Agreement, will be validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable, and the issuance of such Securities is not subject to any
preemptive rights provided for in the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as
amended to the date of this opinion, or under the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware.

     (6) Upon approval of the Common Stock Amendment Proposal (as defined in the Stock
Purchase Agreement) by the Company’s Board of Directors and stockholders, the Securities
will be convertible into shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, par value $2.50 per
share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company in accordance with the terms and
provisions of the Certificate of Designations relating to the Securities and, when issued
upon conversion of the Securities, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable, and as of the date of this opinion the issuance of such Shares is not
subject to any preemptive rights provided for in the Company’s Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, as amended to the date of this opinion, or under the General Corporation Law
of the State of Delaware.

     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 have also 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 certificates for the Securities conform to the specimen thereof examined by us and have
been duly countersigned by a transfer agent and duly registered by a registrar of the Series C
Preferred Stock, that the certificates (if any) for the Shares will conform to the specimen thereof
examined by us and will be duly countersigned by a transfer agent and duly registered by a
registrar of the Common Stock (and if the Shares are issued in uncertificated form, that they will
be duly recorded by a transfer agent and duly registered by a registrar thereof), and that the
signatures on all documents examined by us are genuine, assumptions which we have not independently
verified.

     This opinion is delivered to you by us as counsel to the Company, is solely for your benefit
and may not be delivered or disclosed to any other person without our prior written consent.

	 	 	 	 	 
	 	Very truly yours,

[FORM OF OPINION OF KATHLEEN E. SHANNON, SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT,

SECRETARY AND DEPUTY GENERAL COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY]

 

 

March 4, 2009

AIG Credit Facility Trust

c/o Kevin F. Barnard

Arnold & Porter LLP

399 Park Avenue

New York, New York 10022,

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     I am Senior Vice President, Secretary 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 purchase today by AIG Credit Facility Trust, a
trust established for the benefit of the United States Treasury (the “Trust”), pursuant to
the Series C Perpetual, Convertible, Participating Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of
March 1, 2009 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), between the Trust and the Company, of
100,000 shares (the “Securities”) of the Company’s Series C Perpetual, Convertible,
Participating Preferred Stock, par value $5.00 per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock”).
The Securities are being issued pursuant to the Certificate of Designations of the Series C
Preferred Stock, as filed by the Company with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on
March 4, 2009 (the “Certificate of Designations”), and are convertible on the terms set
forth in the Certificate of Designations into shares (the “Underlying Shares”) of the
Company’s common stock, par value $2.50 per share (the “Common Stock”). This opinion is
being delivered pursuant to Section 3.3(ii) of the Stock Purchase Agreement.

     In rendering my opinion, I, as Senior Vice President, Secretary and Deputy General Counsel of
the Company, have examined the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Certificate of Designations, and I
have examined such corporate records, certificates and other documents, including the Restated
Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended and in effect as of the date hereof (the
“Charter”), and the By-Laws of the Company, as amended on June 15, 2008 and in effect as of
the date hereof (the “By-Laws”), and such questions of law, as I have considered necessary
or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion. Upon the basis of such examination, it is my
opinion that:

 

 

2

	(1)	 	The issue and sale of the Securities, the issuance of the Underlying Shares upon
conversion of the Securities following the adoption of the Common Stock Amendment Proposal
(as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement) and the performance and compliance by the
Company of and with all of the provisions of the Stock Purchase Agreement (other than the
actions contemplated in Sections 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.6, 6.7 (with respect to Board of
Director’s approval only) and 6.8 (with respect to clause (ii) of the second sentence only)
of the Stock Purchase Agreement) and the Certificate of Designations, will not to the best
of my knowledge after due investigation (i) result in violation by the Company of (A) any
provision of law, statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or the transactions
contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, (B) any judgment, order or decree of any
court or governmental body with jurisdiction over the Company or (C) any provision of any
indenture, agreement or other instrument in effect on the date hereof and known to me, to
which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound or to which any of the
property or assets of the Company is subject, (ii) be in conflict with, result in a breach
of, terminate or constitute (alone or with notice or lapse of time or both) a default
under, or give rise to any right to terminate or accelerate or to require the prepayment,
repurchase or redemption of any obligation under any such indenture, agreement or other
instrument or (iii) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien (as such term is used
in the Stock Purchase Agreement) upon or with respect to any property or assets of the
Company, except, in the case of (i)(A) above, for any actual or potential violations
disclosed by the Company to the Trust in writing as of the Effective Date (as defined in
the Stock Purchase Agreement) and in the case of (i), (ii) and (iii) above, with respect to
such breaches, defaults, violations or creation or imposition of any liens that would not
individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Stock
Purchase Agreement) or affect the validity of the Securities, nor will such action result
in any violation of the provisions of the Charter or the By-Laws.

	(2)	 	Assuming the accuracy of the Trust’s representations and warranties set out in Section
5.1 and Section 5.2 of the Stock Purchase Agreement and its compliance with its obligations
thereunder, to the best of my knowledge after due investigation, no action, consent or
approval of, registration or filing with or any other action by, any court or

 

 

3

	 	 	governmental body with jurisdiction over the Company is or will be required to be taken,
obtained or made in connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement, except (a) such as have
been made or obtained and are in full force and effect, (b) such as have been disclosed by
the Company to the Trust in writing as of the Effective Date, (c) the filings and
registrations contemplated by Sections 6.2, 6.6, 7.1 and 7.2 of the Stock Purchase Agreement
and (d) if the failure to take such action, obtain such consent or approval or register or
file with such court or governmental body could not reasonably be expected to have,
individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

     The foregoing opinion is limited to the Federal Laws of the United States, 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 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 certificates for the Securities conform to the specimen thereof examined by me and have been
duly countersigned by a transfer agent and duly registered by a registrar of the Securities, that
the certificates (if any) for the Underlying Shares will conform to the specimen thereof examined
by me and will be duly countersigned by a transfer agent and duly registered by a registrar of the
Common Stock (and if the Underlying Shares are issued in uncertificated form, that they will be
duly recorded by a transfer agent and duly registered by a registrar thereof), and that the
signatures on all documents examined by me are genuine, assumptions which I have not independently
verified.

     This opinion is delivered by me, as counsel to the Company, to you, is solely for your benefit
and may not be relied upon, or delivered or disclosed to, any other person without my prior written
consent.
