banks in New York City selected by the Calculation Agent, at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York
City time, on the first day of that Interest Period for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European
banks for a three-month period commencing on the first day of that Interest Period and in an amount
that, in the Calculation Agent’s judgment, is representative of a single transaction in that market
at that time. However, if fewer than three banks selected by the Calculation Agent to provide
quotations are quoting as described above, Three-month LIBOR for that Interest Period will be the
same as Three-month LIBOR as determined for the previous Interest Period or, in the case of the
Interest Period beginning on May 15, 2038, 2.676%. The establishment of Three-month LIBOR for each
Interest Period by the Calculation Agent shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final and
binding.

     “Unrestricted Debenture” means any Debenture represented by the Unrestricted Global
Security.

     “Unrestricted Global Security” means a Global Security that does not contain a
Securities Act Legend. On the Closing Date, the Unrestricted Global Security will have an initial
principal amount of zero.

     “Unrestricted Securities Certificate” means a certificate substantially in the form
set forth in Annex C.

     “Voting Stock” means equity securities which ordinarily have voting power for the
election of directors, whether at all times or only so long as no senior class of equity securities
has such voting power by reason of any contingency.

     (b) “Applicable Percentage”, “Intent-Based Replacement Disclosure”, “Permitted Remedies” and
“Qualifying Capital Securities” shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Replacement
Capital Covenant as in effect on the date hereof and as it may be amended pursuant to its terms
consistent with Section 2.1(r).

ARTICLE TWO

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE DEBENTURES

Section 2.1 Terms of Debentures

     Pursuant to Sections 201 and 301 of the Indenture, there is hereby established a series of
Securities, the terms of which shall be as follows:

     (a) Designation. The Securities of this series shall be known and designated as the
“8.175% Series A-6 Junior Subordinated Debentures” of the Company (the “Debentures”). The
CUSIP numbers for the Debentures are U02687 BW7 (Reg S) and 026874 BR7 (144A).

     (b) Aggregate Principal Amount. The maximum aggregate principal amount of the
Debentures that may be authenticated and delivered under the Indenture and this Ninth
Supplemental Indenture is $4,000,000,000 (except for Debentures authenticated and delivered upon
registration of transfer of, or exchange for, or in lieu of, other Debentures pursuant to Section
304, 305, 306, 906 or 1107 of the Indenture or Section 3.5 of this Ninth Supplemental Indenture).

     (c) Form and Denominations. The Debentures will be issued only in fully registered
form, and the authorized denominations of the Debentures shall be $1,000 principal amount and
integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Debentures will initially be issued in the
form of one or more Global Securities substantially in the form of Annex A (attached hereto), with
such modifications thereto as may be approved by the authorized officer executing the same. The
Debentures will be denominated in U.S. dollars and payments of principal and interest will be made
in U.S. dollars.

     Upon their original issuance, the Rule 144A Debentures and the Regulation S Debentures shall
be issued in the form of separate Global Securities registered in the name of the Depositary or its
nominee and deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary, for credit by the
Depositary to the respective accounts of beneficial owners of the Debentures represented thereby
(or such other accounts as they may direct). Each such Global Security will constitute a single
Security for all purposes of the Indenture. The Global Securities representing Rule 144A
Debentures are collectively herein called the “Restricted Global Securities.” The Global
Securities representing Regulation S Debentures are collectively herein called the “Regulation
S Global Securities.”

     All Exchange Debentures issued upon any exchange of the Original Debentures (as described in
Annex A) shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to
the same benefits under the Indenture, as the Original Debentures surrendered upon such exchange.
Subject to the second paragraph of Section 307 of the Indenture, each Exchange Debenture delivered
in exchange for an

-14-

 

Original Debenture shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were
carried by such Original Debenture.

     (d) Scheduled Maturity Date.

	 	(i)	 	The principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, the Outstanding
Debentures shall be payable in full on May 15, 2058, or if such day is not a Business Day,
the next Business Day (the “Scheduled Maturity Date”); provided that in the event
the Company has delivered an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee pursuant to clause (vi)
of this Section 2.1(d) in connection with the Scheduled Maturity Date, (A) the principal
amount of Debentures payable on the Scheduled Maturity Date, if any, shall be the principal
amount set forth in the notice of repayment accompanying such Officers’ Certificate, (B)
such specified principal amount of Debentures shall be repaid on the Scheduled Maturity
Date pursuant to Article III, and (C) subject to clause (ii) of this Section 2.1(d), the
remaining Debentures shall remain Outstanding and shall be payable on the immediately
succeeding Interest Payment Date or such earlier date on which they are redeemed pursuant
to Section 2.1(q) or shall become due and payable pursuant to Section 502 of the Indenture
or clause (iii) of this Section 2.1(d). The Outstanding Debentures shall be due and
payable on the Scheduled Maturity Date except to the extent otherwise specified in an
Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee not more than 30 and not less than 10
Business Days immediately preceding the Scheduled Maturity Date.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	In the event the Company has delivered an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee
pursuant to clause (vi) of this Section 2.1(d) in connection with any Repayment Date, the
principal amount of Debentures payable on such Repayment Date shall be the principal amount
set forth in the notice of repayment, if any, accompanying such Officers’ Certificate, such
principal amount of Debentures shall be repaid on such Repayment Date pursuant to Article
III, and the remaining Debentures shall remain Outstanding and shall be payable on the
immediately succeeding Repayment Date or such earlier date on which they are redeemed
pursuant to Section 2.1(q) or shall become due and payable pursuant to Section 502 of the
Indenture or clause (iii) of this Section 2.1(d). The Outstanding Debentures shall be due
and payable on any Repayment Date except to the extent otherwise specified in an Officers’
Certificate delivered to the Trustee not more than 30 and no less than 10 Business Days
immediately preceding such Repayment Date.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Ninth Supplemental
Indenture, the principal of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all Outstanding
Debentures shall be due and payable on the Final Maturity Date. The “Final Maturity
Date” means May 15, 2068 (or, if this day is not a Business Day, the following Business
Day).

-15-

 

	 	(iv)	 	Any repayment of principal and current interest on the Debentures pursuant to
this Section 2.1(d) on any date prior to the Final Maturity Date shall not affect the
Company’s obligations under Section 2.1(h) with respect to the payment of deferred interest
on the Debentures. For the purpose of clarity, it is possible that the Company may repay
the principal and current interest on a Debenture pursuant to this Section 2.1(d) but still
be obligated to pay deferred interest on the Debenture. For the purposes of the definition
of “Outstanding” in the Indenture, a Debenture, as to which principal and current
interest has been repaid, redeemed or otherwise satisfied by the Company, shall for all
purposes of the Indenture and this Ninth Supplemental Indenture, other than for purposes of
Article XI of the Indenture and this Section 2.1(d) and Article III of this Ninth
Supplemental Indenture, be deemed Outstanding so long as any deferred interest on such
Debenture remains unpaid.
	 
	 	(v)	 	Until the principal of and current interest on all Outstanding Debentures are paid
in full, the principal of all Outstanding Debentures is automatically accelerated as
provided in Section 2.1(k) or a declaration of acceleration pursuant to Section 502 of the
Indenture occurs, the Company shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts, subject to a
Market Disruption Event:

	 	(A)	 	to raise sufficient Eligible Repayment Proceeds during a 180-day period
ending on a date not more than 30 and not less than 10 Business Days prior to the
Scheduled Maturity Date to permit repayment of the principal and current interest
on all Outstanding Debentures in full on the Scheduled Maturity Date; and
	 
	 	(B)	 	if the Company is unable for any reason to raise sufficient Eligible
Repayment Proceeds to permit repayment in full of the principal amount of and
current interest on all the Outstanding Debentures on the Scheduled Maturity Date
or any subsequent Interest Payment Date, to raise sufficient Eligible Repayment
Proceeds to permit repayment of the principal and current interest on all
Outstanding Debentures in full on the next Interest Payment Date pursuant to clause
(ii) of this Section 2.1(d).

	 	(vi)	 	The Company shall, if it has not raised sufficient Eligible Repayment Proceeds in
connection with any Repayment Date, deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee no more
than 30 and no less than 10 Business Days in advance of such Repayment Date stating the
amount of Eligible Repayment Proceeds, if any, raised pursuant to clause (v) of this
Section 2.1(d) in connection with such Repayment Date. Each Officers’ Certificate
delivered pursuant to this clause (vi), unless no principal amount of Debentures is to be
repaid on the applicable Repayment Date, shall be accompanied by a notice of repayment
pursuant to Section 3.1 setting forth the principal amount of the Debentures to be repaid
on such Repayment Date, which amount shall be determined after giving effect to clause
(viii) of this Section 2.1(d).

-16-

 

	 	(vii)	 	The Company shall be excused from its obligation to use Commercially Reasonable
Efforts to sell Qualifying Capital Securities pursuant to clause (v) of this Section 2.1(d)
if such Officers’ Certificate further certifies that: (A) a Market Disruption Event was
existing at any time during the period commencing 180 days prior to the date of such
Officers’ Certificate or, in the case of any Repayment Date after the Scheduled Maturity
Date, the period commencing on the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date and ending
on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of such Officers’ Certificate; and (B)
either (1) the Market Disruption Event continued for the entire 180-day period or, in the
case of any Repayment Date after the Scheduled Maturity Date, the period since the most
recent Interest Payment Date, as the case may be, or (2) the Market Disruption Event
continued for only part of the relevant period, but the Company was unable after
Commercially Reasonable Efforts to raise sufficient Eligible Repayment Proceeds during the
rest of that period to permit repayment of the Debentures in full.
	 
	 	(viii)	 	Payments on the Debentures on any Repayment Date shall be applied,
first, to the extent permitted by Section 2.1(i), to deferred interest to the
extent of Eligible APM Proceeds raised pursuant to Section 2.1(i), second, to
current interest and, third, to the repayment of the principal of Debentures;
provided that if the Company is obligated to sell Qualifying Capital Securities and repay
any outstanding pari passu securities in addition to the Debentures, then on any date and
for any period such payments shall be applied (A) first, to any pari passu
securities having an earlier scheduled maturity date than the Debentures, until the
principal of and all accrued and unpaid interest on those securities has been paid in full,
and (B) second, to the Debentures and any other pari passu securities having the
same scheduled maturity date as the Debentures pro rata in accordance with their respective
outstanding principal amounts. None of such payments shall be applied to any other pari
passu securities having a later scheduled maturity date until the principal of and all
accrued and unpaid interest on the Debentures has been paid in full, except to the extent
permitted by clause (vii) of Section 2.1(g) and the first sentence of Section 2.1(h). If
the Company has raised less than $5,000,000 of Eligible Repayment Proceeds during the
relevant 180-day or three-month period, the Company will not be required to repay any
Debentures on the relevant Repayment Date. On the next Interest Payment Date as of which
the Company has raised at least $5,000,000 of Eligible Repayment Proceeds during the
180-day period preceding the applicable notice date (or, if shorter, the period since the
Company last repaid any principal amount of the Debentures), the Company shall repay a
principal amount of Debentures equal to the Eligible Repayment Proceeds from the sale of
Qualifying Capital Securities during such 180-day or shorter period.

     (e) Rate of Interest. The Debentures shall bear interest on their principal amount
(i) from and including May 20, 2008 to but excluding May 15, 2038 at the rate of 8.175% per annum,
computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day

-17-

 

months, and (ii) thereafter at an annual rate equal to Three-month LIBOR plus 4.195%, computed
on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. All percentages resulting
from any calculation of Three-month LIBOR will be rounded upward or downward, as appropriate, to
the next higher or lower one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point. Subject to Sections 2.1(g)
and (h): in the case of Section 2.1(e)(i), interest on the Debentures shall be payable
semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on November 15, 2008 and
in the case of Section 2.1(e)(ii), interest on the Debentures shall be payable quarterly in arrears
on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on August 15, 2038 (each
such date, an “Interest Payment Date”). In the event any Interest Payment Date on or
before May 15 , 2038 falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the interest payment due on that
date will be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day and no interest shall accrue as a
result of such postponement. If any Interest Payment Date after May 15, 2038 would otherwise fall
on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the following
Business Day and interest will accrue to the actual Interest Payment Date, unless such postponement
would cause the day to fall in the next calendar month, in which case it shall be brought forward
to the immediately preceding Business Day. Any installment of interest (or portion thereof)
deferred in accordance with Section 2.1(g) or otherwise unpaid shall bear additional interest, to
the extent permitted by law, at the rate of interest then in effect from time to time on the
Debentures, from the relevant Interest Payment Date, compounded on each subsequent Interest Payment
Date, until paid in accordance with Section 2.1(h).

     (f) To Whom Interest is Payable. Interest (other than deferred interest which shall
be payable to the Persons specified pursuant to Section 2.1(g)(ii)) shall be payable to the Person
in whose name the Debentures are registered at the close of business on the Business Day next
preceding the Interest Payment Date, or in the event the Debentures cease to be held in the form of
one or more Global Securities, at the close of business on the date 15 days prior to that Interest
Payment Date, whether or not a Business Day.

     (g) Option to Defer Interest Payments.

	 	(i)	 	The Company shall have the right, at any time and from time to time prior to the
Final Maturity Date, to defer the payment of interest on the Debentures for one or more
consecutive Interest Periods that do not exceed 10 years; provided that no Deferral Period
shall extend beyond the Final Maturity Date or the earlier redemption of the Debentures.
If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or the Company has given notice of
its election to defer interest payments but the Deferral Period has not yet commenced or a
Deferral Period is continuing, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary,
subject to the exceptions specified in clause (vii) of this Section 2.1(g), to: (a)
declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a
liquidation payment with respect to, any shares of Capital Stock of the Company, (b) make
any payment of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, or repay, purchase or
redeem any debt securities of the

-18-

 

	 	 	 	Company that rank pari passu with or junior to the Debentures or (c) make any payments
with respect to any Guarantee by the Company of securities of any Subsidiary if such
Guarantee ranks pari passu with, or junior to, the Debentures.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	At the end of any Deferral Period, the Company shall pay all deferred interest on
the Debentures (together with compounded interest thereon, if any, to the extent permitted
by applicable law), to the Person in whose name the Debentures are registered at the close
of business on the Business Day next preceding the Interest Payment Date at the end of such
Deferral Period or, in the event the Debentures cease to be held in the form of one or more
Global Securities, at the close of business on the date 15 days prior to the end of the
Deferral Period, whether or not a Business Day.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	Upon termination of any Deferral Period and upon the payment of all deferred
interest and any compounded interest then due on any Interest Payment Date, the Company may
elect to begin a new Deferral Period pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 2.1(g).
	 
	 	(iv)	 	The Company may elect to pay deferred interest on any Interest Payment Date
during any Deferral Period to the extent permitted by Section 2.1(h).
	 
	 	(v)	 	The Company shall give written notice to the Trustee and the Holders of the
Debentures of its election to begin any Deferral Period at least one Business Day prior to
the Regular Record Date for that Interest Payment Date. Notwithstanding the previous
sentence, the Company’s failure to pay any interest due within five Business Days after any
Interest Payment Date shall automatically and without any further action by any Person be
deemed to commence a Deferral Period.
	 
	 	(vi)	 	If any Deferral Period lasts longer than one year, the Company shall not, and
shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any securities
ranking junior to or pari passu with any APM Qualifying Securities the proceeds of which
were used to pay deferred interest during such Deferral Period until the first anniversary
of the date on which all deferred interest has been paid, subject to the exceptions set
forth in clause (vii) below. If the Company is involved in a Business Combination where
immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination more than 50% of the
surviving or resulting entity’s Voting Stock is owned by the shareholders of the other
party to the Business Combination or Continuing Directors cease for any reason to
constitute a majority of the directors of the surviving or resulting entity, then neither
the restrictions set forth in this clause (vi) nor the provisions of Section 2.1(h) shall
apply to any Deferral Period that is terminated on the next Interest Payment Date following
the date of consummation of the Business Combination.

-19-

 

	 	(vii)	 	The restrictions in clauses (i) and (vi) of this Section 2.1(g) do not apply to
(a) purchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of shares of the Company’s Capital Stock
in connection with (1) any Employee Benefit Plan or the Assurance Agreement or (2) a
dividend reinvestment, stock purchase plan or other similar plan, (b) any exchange or
conversion of any class or series of the Company’s Capital Stock (or the Capital Stock of
any Subsidiary) for any class or series of the Company’s Capital Stock or of any class or
series of Indebtedness of the Company for any class or series of the Company’s Capital
Stock, (c) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of the Capital Stock of the
Company in accordance with the conversion or exchange provisions of the Company’s Capital
Stock or the security or instrument being converted or exchanged, (d) any declaration of a
dividend in connection with any stockholders’ right plan, or the issuance of rights, equity
securities or other property under any stockholders’ right plan, or the redemption or
repurchase of rights in accordance with any stockholders’ rights plan, (e) any dividend in
the form of equity securities, warrants, options or other rights where the dividend stock
or the stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, options or other rights is the same
stock as that on which the dividend is being paid or ranks pari passu with or junior to
such equity securities, (f) any payment during a Deferral Period of current or deferred
interest in respect of any debt securities of the Company that rank pari passu with the
Debentures that is made pro rata to the amounts due on pari passu securities and the
Debentures (provided that such payments are made in accordance with Section 2.1(h) to the
extent it applies) and any payments of deferred interest on such pari passu securities
that, if not made, would cause the Company to breach the terms of the instrument governing
such pari passu securities, (g) any payment of principal in respect of any pari passu
securities having an earlier scheduled maturity date than the Debentures, as required under
a provision of such pari passu securities that is substantially the same as Section 2.1(d)
or any such payment in respect of any pari passu securities having the same scheduled
maturity date as the Debentures that is made on a pro rata basis among one or more series
of such securities and the Debentures, (h) any repurchase of pari passu securities
(including the junior subordinated debentures initially included in the Equity Units) in
exchange for Common Stock in connection with a failed remarketing or similar event, or any
payment of deferred interest on any pari passu securities (including such junior
subordinated debentures) in the form of additional debentures that will rank pari passu
with the Debentures and any repayment of any such additional debentures at maturity or (i)
any repayment or redemption of a security necessary to avoid a breach of the instrument
governing that security.

     (h) Payment of Deferred Interest. The Company shall not pay deferred interest
(including compounded interest thereon) on the Debentures on any Interest Payment Date during any
Deferral Period prior to the Final Maturity Date from any source other than Eligible APM Proceeds
unless (x) required by an applicable regulatory authority, (y) permitted under clause (vi) of
Section 2.1(g) or (z) an Event of

-20-

 

Default has occurred and is continuing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may pay
current interest during a Deferral Period from any available funds. To the extent that the Company
is able to raise some, but not all, Eligible APM Proceeds to pay accrued and unpaid interest on the
applicable Interest Payment Date, such Eligible APM Proceeds shall be allocated first to deferred
payments of accrued and unpaid interest in chronological order based on the date each payment was
first deferred. If any Indebtedness of the Company that ranks pari passu with the Debentures is
outstanding in addition to the Debentures under which the Company is obligated to sell APM
Qualifying Securities and apply the net proceeds to the payment of deferred interest or
distributions, then on any date and for any period the amount of Eligible APM Proceeds received by
the Company from such sales and available for payment of the deferred interest and distributions
shall be applied to the Debentures and such pari passu securities on a pro rata basis up to, in the
case of Common Stock, the Stock and Warrant Issuance Cap and the Maximum Share Number, in the case
of Qualifying Warrants, the Stock and Warrant Issuance Cap and the Maximum Warrant Number, in the
case of Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock, the Maximum Share Number and the Preferred Stock
Issuance Cap, and, in the case of Qualifying Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, the Preferred Stock
Issuance Cap (or comparable provisions in the instruments governing such pari passu securities) in
proportion to the total amounts that are due on the Debentures and such pari passu securities. The
Company may make such pro rata payments on such pari passu securities so long as it shall have paid
or deposited with the paying agent for the Debentures or shall have segregated and holds in trust
for payment the pro rata proceeds applicable to the Debentures that have not been paid.

     The “Maximum Share Number” will equal 400,000,000 and the “Maximum Warrant
Number” will equal 400,000,000 (or 800,000,000 if the Company amends the definition of APM
Qualifying Securities to eliminate Common Stock) if the shareholders of the Company approve an
increase in the number of the authorized shares of Common Stock, which the Company will propose for
shareholder vote at its annual shareholder meeting in 2009. Unless and until such time as the
number of the authorized shares of Common Stock is increased by at least 1,225,000,000 shares, the
Maximum Share Number is 185,000,000 and the Maximum Warrant Number is zero and, to the extent
permitted by law, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain shareholder
approval of such increase at future annual meetings of shareholders if approval is not obtained at
the 2009 annual shareholder meeting. The Company will not be permitted to amend the definition of
APM Qualifying Securities to eliminate Common Stock prior to such time as the number of the
authorized shares of Common Stock is increased by at least 1,225,000,000 shares. On each Interest
Payment Date during a Deferral Period, the Company will increase the Maximum Share Number, as
necessary, for so long as such Deferral Period is continuing, such that it is at least equal to the
number of shares of Common Stock that the Company would need to issue to raise sufficient proceeds
to pay, assuming a price per share equal to the average of the Current Stock Market Price over the
ten-trading day period preceding such Interest Payment Date, three times the then outstanding
deferred interest on the Debentures (including compounded interest thereon) up to a maximum of 10
years’ of interest (including

-21-

 

compounded interest thereon); provided that the Company will only be required to increase the
Maximum Share Number to the extent that such increase does not result in a Maximum Share Number
that is greater than the number of Available Shares. “Available Shares” shall mean, as of
any date, the number of shares of Common Stock calculated by the Company by subtracting from the
number of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock on such date the maximum number of shares
of Common Stock that can be issued under existing options, warrants, convertible securities,
equity-linked contracts, equity compensation plans and other agreements of any type that requires
the Company to issue a determinable maximum number of shares of Common Stock, including without
limitation for the purpose of funding deferred distributions (such maximum number the “Fixed
Commitments”). The Available Shares will be allocated on a pro rata basis to all of the
Company’s obligations under any similar commitments under which the Company is required to increase
its maximum obligation to issue shares of Common Stock in comparable circumstances. If the
increase in the Maximum Share Number required by this paragraph is limited by the number of
Available Shares, to the extent permitted by law, the Company will use commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain shareholder consent at the next annual meeting of the Company’s shareholders to
increase the number of shares of the authorized Common Stock so that it is no longer limited. If
the Company amends the definition of APM Qualifying Securities to eliminate Common Stock, the
foregoing obligations shall apply to the Maximum Warrant Number, assuming a price per qualifying
warrant equal to 50% of the average of the Current Stock Market Price over the relevant period.
For purposes of determining the amounts accruing during any period after May 15, 2038, the interest
will be computed by reference to Three-month LIBOR on the calculation date plus a margin equal to
4.195%. The Company will provide notice to the Trustee if the Company increases the Maximum Share
Number or Maximum Warrant Number.

     If, as of a date no more than 15 and no less than 10 Business Days in advance of any Interest
Payment Date, the Company has not raised sufficient Eligible APM Proceeds to pay all deferred
interest (including compounded interest thereon) on the Debentures on such Interest Payment Date as
a result of the foregoing limitation, the Company will provide written certification to the Trustee
(which the Trustee will promptly forward upon receipt to each holder of record of Debentures) of
the Company’s calculation of the Maximum Share Number or Maximum Warrant Number, as the case may
be, the number of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, the Fixed Commitments and the
number of shares of Common Stock issued (or issuable upon exercise of such Qualifying Warrants)
that the Company has sold pursuant to Section 2.1(i) during the 180-day period preceding the date
of such notice.

     (i) Alternative Payment Mechanism. Immediately following any APM Commencement Date and
until the termination of the related Deferral Period, the Company will be required to use
Commercially Reasonable Efforts to sell APM Qualifying Securities until the Company has raised an
amount of Eligible APM Proceeds at least equal to the aggregate amount of accrued and unpaid
deferred interest on the Debentures (including compounded interest thereon) and applied such
Eligible APM

-22-

 

Proceeds on the next Interest Payment Date to the payment of deferred interest (including
compounded interest thereon) in accordance with Section 2.1(h); provided that:

	 	(1)	 	the foregoing obligations shall not apply (i) to the issuance of Common Stock and
Qualifying Warrants during the first five years of any Deferral Period to the extent the
number of shares of Common Stock issued and the number of shares of Common Stock subject to
such Qualifying Warrants, together with the number of shares of Common Stock previously
issued, and the number of shares of Common Stock subject to Qualifying Warrants previously
issued, during such Deferral Period to pay interest on the Debentures pursuant to this
Section 2.1(i), would, in the aggregate, exceed 2% of the total number of issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the date of the Company’s most recent publicly
available consolidated financial statements on the date of determination (the “Stock
and Warrant Issuance Cap”) or (ii) to the issuance of Qualifying Non-Cumulative
Preferred Stock and Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock at any time to the extent the
Eligible APM Proceeds raised from such issuance, together with the Eligible APM Proceeds of
all prior issuances of Qualifying Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock and still outstanding
Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 2.1(i) applied to pay
deferred interest on the Debentures, would exceed $1,000,000,000 (the “Preferred Stock
Issuance Cap”);

	 	(2)	 	the foregoing obligations shall not apply in respect of any Interest Payment Date
if the Company shall have provided to the Trustee (which the Trustee will promptly forward
upon receipt to each Holder of the Debentures whose name appears in the Security Register)
no more than 30 and no less than 10 Business Days prior to such Interest Payment Date an
Officers’ Certificate stating that (i) a Market Disruption Event occurred after the
immediately preceding Interest Payment Date and (ii) either (A) the Market Disruption Event
continued for the entire period from the Business Day immediately following the preceding
Interest Payment Date to the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such
Officers’ Certificate is provided or (B) the Market Disruption Event continued for only
part of such period but the Company was unable after Commercially Reasonable Efforts to
raise sufficient Eligible APM Proceeds during the rest of that period to pay all accrued
and unpaid interest due on the Interest Payment Date with respect to which such Officers’
Certificate is being delivered;

	 	(3)	 	the sale of Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock to pay deferred interest is an
option that may be exercised at the Company’s sole discretion, and the Company will not be
obligated to sell Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock or to apply the proceeds of any
such sale to pay deferred interest on the Debentures, and no class of investors of the
Company’s securities or other obligations, or any other Person, may require the Company to
issue Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock; and

-23-

 

	 	(4)	 	to the extent that the Company has raised some but not all Eligible APM Proceeds
necessary to pay all deferred interest on any Interest Payment Date, such Eligible APM
Proceeds shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.1(h).

     Once the Company reaches the Stock and Warrant Issuance Cap for a Deferral Period, the Company
will not be required to issue more shares of Common Stock or Qualifying Warrants under this Section
2.1(i) during the first five years of such Deferral Period even if the Stock and Warrant Issuance
Cap subsequently increases because of a subsequent increase in the number of outstanding shares of
Common Stock. The Stock and Warrant Issuance Cap will cease to apply after the fifth anniversary
of the commencement of any Deferral Period, at which point the Company must pay any deferred
interest, regardless of the time at which it was deferred pursuant to Section 2.1(h), subject to
the limitations in Section 2.1(g), the Preferred Stock Issuance Cap, the Maximum Share Number, the
Maximum Warrant Number and any Market Disruption Event. In addition, if the Stock and Warrant
Issuance Cap is reached during a Deferral Period and the Company subsequently pays all deferred
interest, the Stock and Warrant Issuance Cap will cease to apply at the termination of such
Deferral Period, reset to zero and will not apply again unless and until the start of a new
Deferral Period. The Preferred Stock Issuance Cap shall not reset to zero even if the Company pays
all deferred interest for a Deferral Period, and the Eligible APM Proceeds from sales of Qualifying
Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock and then outstanding Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock applied
pursuant to Section 2.1(h) during such Deferral Period and all prior Deferral Periods cumulate as
Qualifying Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock is issued or so long as Mandatorily Convertible Preferred
Stock is outstanding, to pay deferred interest. The Company will not be excused from its
obligations under this Section 2.1(i) if it determines not to pursue or complete the sale of APM
Qualifying Securities due to pricing, dividend rate or dilution considerations.

     If the Company eliminates Common Stock from the definition of APM Qualifying Securities, the
Company must use commercially reasonable efforts, subject to the Maximum Warrant Number, to set the
terms of any Qualifying Warrants that the Company issues pursuant to this Section 2.1(i) so that
the proceeds from the issuance of Qualifying Warrants, together with the proceeds from the sale of
any other APM Qualifying Securities are sufficient proceeds to pay all deferred interest on the
Debentures in accordance with this Section 2.1(i).

     (j) Events of Default. The Debentures shall not be entitled to the benefits of the
Events of Default in clauses (1) through (4) of Section 501 of the Indenture. The Debentures shall
be entitled to the benefits of the Events of Default in clauses (5) and (6) of Section 501 of the
Indenture. The following events shall be Events of Default with respect to the Debentures
(whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be occasioned by the provisions
of Article Fourteen of the Indenture or be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of
law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or

-24-

 

order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental
body):

	(1)	 	default in the payment of interest, including compounded interest, in full on any
Debenture for a period of 30 days after the tenth anniversary of the commencement of any
Deferral Period if such Deferral Period has not ended prior to such tenth anniversary; and
	 
	(2)	 	default in the payment of the principal of the Debentures at the Final Maturity
Date or upon a call for redemption.

Except as provided in this paragraph (j), no breach or default by the Company of any other covenant
or obligation under the Indenture or the terms of the Debentures shall constitute an Event of
Default.

     (k) Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission of Amendment. The remedies provided to the
Trustee and Holders by Section 502 of the Indenture will apply only to an Event of Default under
clause (1) of Section 2.1(j). If an Event of Default specified in Section 501(5) or 501(6) of the
Indenture occurs, then in every such case the principal amount of all the Debentures shall
automatically become due and payable immediately, without any declaration or other action on the
part of the Trustee or any Holder. An Event of Default in clause (2) of Section 2.1(j) shall not
entitle the Holders to the benefits of Section 502 of the Indenture.

     (l) Collection of Indebtedness and Suits From Enforcement by Trustee. The Debentures
shall not have the benefits of the first paragraph of Section 503 of the Indenture.

     (m) Limitation on Suits. For purposes of the Debentures, Section 507 of the Indenture
is hereby amended (i) by adding “or Enforcement Event” after “Event of Default” in clause (1)
thereof, and (ii) by adding at the end of clause (2) thereof: “or the Holders of no less than a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series shall have made written
request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Enforcement Event in its own
name as Trustee hereunder;”

     (n) Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest. For
purposes of the Debentures, Section 508 of the Indenture is hereby amended and restated in its
entirety:

	 	 	“Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture or the Ninth Supplemental Indenture,
the Holder of any Debenture shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional
(subject to withholding tax (if any) and backup withholding tax (if any)), to receive
payment of the principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 2.1(g)(ii) of the Ninth
Supplemental Indenture and Section 307 of the Indenture) interest on such Debenture when
due, it being understood (i) that, in the case of a Deferral Period, interest shall only
become due and payable at the

-25-

 

time and in the manner provided for in Sections 2.1(g) and (h) of the Ninth Supplemental
Indenture, and interest shall, in the case of Section 2.1(i) of the Ninth Supplemental
Indenture, only become due and payable in the amount determined in accordance with such
Section, and (ii) that the extent to which Holders have a right to receive payment of
principal on any Repayment Date is determined in accordance with Section 2.1(d) of the
Ninth Supplemental Indenture. Any Holder’s right to institute suit for the enforcement of
any such payment, and such rights referred to in this Section 508 shall not be impaired
without the consent of such Holder.”

For the purposes of Section 316(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, it is understood and agreed that no
payment of principal or interest shall be deemed due and payable under the provisions of Sections
2.1(d), 2.1(g)(ii) and 2.1(h) until the Company has received Eligible Repayment Proceeds or
Eligible APM Proceeds, respectively, to pay such principal or interest.

     (o) Waiver of Past Defaults. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 513
of the Indenture, for the purposes of the Debentures, a past default that is an Event of Default
under Section 501(5) or 501(6) of the Indenture cannot be waived, with respect to the Debentures
and its consequences, without the consent of each Holder of the Debentures.

     (p) Notice of Defaults and Enforcement Events. For purposes of the Debentures, Section
602 of the Indenture is hereby amended (i) by adding “and Enforcement Events” after “Defaults” in
the header thereof, and (ii) by adding “or Enforcement Event” after “default” in the first and
second line of such Section.

     (q) Redemption. The Debentures shall be redeemable in accordance with Article Eleven
of the Indenture, provided that the Debentures shall be redeemable at the Company’s option, (i) on
any Interest Payment Date on or after May 15, 2038, in whole or in part, at 100% of the principal
amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date, (ii) at any time
prior to May 15, 2038, in whole or in part, at the Make-Whole Redemption Price and (iii) at any
time prior to May 15, 2038, in connection with a Tax Event or a Rating Agency Event, in whole but
not in part, at the Make-Whole Redemption Price; provided that if the Company exercises its right
to redeem the Debentures in part prior to May 15, 2038, the aggregate principal amount thereof
outstanding after such redemption must be at least $50,000,000. For purposes of the Debentures,
the first sentence of Section 1104 of the Indenture is replaced in its entirety with the following:
“Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 10
nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holders of Securities to be redeemed,
at his address appearing in the Security Register.”

     (r) Replacement Capital Covenant. The Company shall not modify the Replacement
Capital Covenant to (A) amend the definitions incorporated into this Ninth

-26-

 

Supplemental Indenture pursuant to Section 1.2.3(b) in a manner adverse to the Holders or (B)
impose additional restrictions on the type or amount of Qualifying Capital Securities that the
Company may include for purposes of determining the extent to which repayment, redemption,
defeasance or repurchase of the Debentures is permitted, except with the consent of the holders of
a majority of the principal amount of Outstanding Debentures. Except as expressly provided in the
preceding sentence, the Company may modify the Replacement Capital Covenant at any time and in any
manner without the consent of the Holders of the Debentures.

     (s) Limitation on Claims in the Event of Bankruptcy, Insolvency or Receivership. To
the extent permitted by law, each Holder, by such Holder’s acceptance of the Debentures, agrees
that if a Bankruptcy Event shall occur prior to the redemption, repayment or defeasance of such
Debentures, such Holder shall only have a claim for deferred and unpaid interest (including
compounded interest thereon) to the extent such interest (including compounded interest thereon)
relates to the earliest two years of the portion of the Deferral Period for which interest has not
been paid.

     (t) Sinking Fund; Holder Repurchase Right. The Debentures shall not be subject to any
sinking fund or analogous provision or be redeemable at the option of the Holders. Article XII of
the Indenture shall not be applicable to the Debentures.

     (u) Subordination. The Debentures shall be subject to Article XIV of the Indenture,
subject to the following modifications:

Senior Debt in the Indenture is deleted, and the following clauses are added to the
definition of Senior Debt in the Indenture after the word “contracts,” in clause (iii) for
purposes of the Debentures:

expressly pari passu or subordinated to the Debentures, (v) any Guarantee of any
indebtedness, obligation or security issued by any Person that is an Affiliate of the
Company and such Person is viewed by the Company as a vehicle to finance its operations,
and (vi) Indebtedness of the Company to its Subsidiaries”;
and

     (ii) For purposes of the Debentures, the following provision is added to the end of
the definition of Senior Debt in the Indenture after the word “Securities”: “provided that
(a) trade account payables and accrued liabilities arising in the ordinary course of the
Company’s business, (b) the Company’s 6.25% Series A-1 Junior Subordinated Debentures,
5.75% Series A-2 Junior Subordinated Debentures, 4.875% Series A-3 Junior Subordinated
Debentures, 6.45% Series A-4 Junior Subordinated Debentures and 7.70% Series A-5 Junior

debentures and (d) any other indebtedness, Guarantee or other obligation that is
specifically designated as being subordinate, or not

-27-

 

	 	 	superior, in right of payment to the Debentures, shall not be considered Senior Debt”.

     (iii)

hereby appoints The Bank of New York as Security Registrar, Authenticating Agent and Paying Agent
with respect to the Debentures. The Debentures may be surrendered for registration of transfer and

REPAYMENT OF THE DEBENTURES

     3.1. Repayment

     The Company shall, not more than 30 nor less than 10 Business Days prior to each Repayment

principal amount of Debentures to be repaid on such date pursuant to Section 2.1(d).

     3.2. Selection of Securities to be Repaid

     If less than all the Debentures are to be repaid on any Repayment Date, the particular
Debentures to be repaid shall be selected not more than 30 days prior to such Repayment Date by the
Trustee, from the Outstanding Debentures not previously repaid or redeemed or as to which notice of
repayment or redemption has been given, by such other method as the Trustee may deem fair and
appropriate and which may provide for the selection for repayment of a portion of the principal
amount of any Debenture, provided that the portion of the principal amount of any Debenture not
repaid shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized
denomination).

     The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Debentures selected for
partial repayment and the principal amount thereof to be repaid. For all purposes hereof, unless
the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the repayment of Debentures shall
relate, in the case of any Debenture repaid or to be repaid only in part, to the portion of the
principal amount of such Debenture which has been or is to be repaid.

     3.3. Notice of Repayment

     Notice of repayment shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed at least 10
calendar days, but no more than 15 calendar days, prior to the Repayment Date, to each Holder of
Debentures to be repaid, at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Security Register.

if a CUSIP number has been assigned to the Debentures) and shall state:

     (a) the Repayment Date;

repaid;

     (c) that on the Repayment Date, the principal amount of the Debentures or portions thereof to
be repaid will become due and payable, and that interest thereon, if any, shall cease to accrue on
and after said date;

     (d) whether any deferred interest shall remain outstanding on any Debentures to be repaid, and
if so, the amount of such deferred interest and that compound interest thereon shall continued to
accrue on and after said date until paid; and

     (e) the place or places where such Debentures are to be surrendered for payment of the
principal amount thereof.

     Notice of repayment shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the Trustee

     Prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Repayment Date specified in the notice of
repayment given as provided in Section 3.3, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with one

notice of repayment, such Debentures or the specified portions thereof shall be paid by the Company
at their principal amount, together with accrued interest (including any compounded interest) to
the Repayment Date (except to the extent the payment of such accrued interest shall be prohibited
pursuant to Section 2.1(h)); provided that, except in the case of a repayment in full of all
Outstanding Debentures, installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the
Repayment Date will be payable to the Holders of such Debentures, or one or more Predecessor
Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Dates
according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307 of the Indenture and Section 2.1(g)(ii)
of this Ninth Supplemental Indenture.

     Section 1107 of the Indenture shall apply to any Debenture repaid in part pursuant to this
Article III.

     American International Group, Inc., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws
of Delaware (herein called the “Company”, which term includes any successor Person under
the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co.,
or registered assigns, the principal sum of            Dollars ($             ) on May 15, 2068 (or, if
this day is not a Business Day, the following Business Day) (the “Final Maturity Date”);
provided that the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, this Security shall
be payable in full on May 15, 2058, or if such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day
(the “Scheduled Maturity Date”), or any subsequent Interest Payment Date (as hereinafter
defined) to the extent set forth in the Indenture hereinafter referred to. As provided in the
Indenture, the principal of this Security is payable on the Scheduled Maturity Date only to the
extent the Company has raised sufficient Eligible Repayment Proceeds during the relevant period.
The Company’s obligation to raise Eligible Repayment Proceeds is subject to certain limitations and
restrictions described in the Ninth Supplemental Indenture hereinafter referred to. In connection
with the issuances of this Security, the Company has entered into a Replacement Capital Covenant
that contains restrictions on the Company’s ability to repay the principal of this Security.

     This Security shall bear interest (i) from and including May 15, 2008 to but excluding May 15,
2038, payable (subject to deferral as set forth herein and in the Indenture) at the rate of 8.175%
per annum semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 in each year, beginning on November
15, 2008 (computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months), and (ii) from
and including May 15, 2038, at an annual rate equal to Three-month LIBOR (as defined in the
Indenture) plus 4.195% (computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days
elapsed), payable (subject to deferral as set forth herein and in the Indenture) quarterly in
arrears on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15 in each year, beginning on August 15,
2038, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment (each such date referred to
in clause (i) or (ii), an “Interest Payment Date”). In the event that any Interest Payment
Date on or before May 15, 2038 falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the interest payment due
on that date shall be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day and no interest shall accrue
as a result of that postponement. In the event that any Interest Payment Date after May 15, 2038
would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day, that Interest Payment Date shall be
postponed to the next day that is a Business Day and interest will accrue to the actual Interest
Payment Date, unless such postponement would cause the day to fall in the next calendar month, in
which case it shall be brought forward to the immediately preceding Business Day. Any installment
of interest (or portion thereof) deferred in accordance with the Indenture or otherwise

A-3

 

unpaid on the relevant Interest Payment Date shall bear additional interest, to the extent
permitted by law, at the rate of interest then in effect on this Security, from the relevant
Interest Payment Date, compounded on each subsequent Interest Payment Date, until paid in
accordance with the Indenture.

     A “Business Day” shall mean any day other than (i) a Saturday, Sunday or other day on
which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or required by law or executive
order to remain closed or (ii) on or after May 15, 2038, a day which is not a London Banking Day.

     The interest (other than deferred interest) so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided
for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in
whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered (i) at the close of
business on the Business Day next preceding the Interest Payment Date if this Security is issued in
the form of a Global Security, or (ii) at the close of business on the day 15 days prior to that
Interest Payment Date (whether or not a Business Day), if this Security is not issued in the form
of a Global Security. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for (other than
deferred interest) will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and
may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor
Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such
Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of
Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at
any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities
exchange on which the Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be
required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. Any deferred interest
shall be payable to the holder of record of this Security as provided below.

     The Company shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, prior to the Final
Maturity Date to defer the payment of interest on this Security for one or more consecutive
Interest Periods that do not exceed 10 years; provided that no Deferral Period shall extend beyond
the Final Maturity Date or the earlier redemption of the Securities of this series. As provided in
the Indenture, the payment of deferred interest is subject to the Company’s ability to raise
Eligible APM Proceeds. The Company’s obligation to raise Eligible APM Proceeds is subject to
certain limitations, restrictions and exceptions described in the Ninth Supplemental Indenture.

     At the end of any Deferral Period, the Company shall pay all deferred interest on this
Security (together with compounded interest thereon, if any, to the extent permitted by applicable
law), to the Person in whose name this Security is registered at the close of business on the
Business Day next preceding the Interest Payment Date at the end of such Deferral Period or, in the
event this Security ceases to be held in the form of a Global Security, at the close of business on
the date 15 days prior to the end of the Deferral Period, whether or not a Business Day. Upon
termination of any Deferral Period and upon the payment of all deferred interest and any compounded
interest then due on any Interest Payment Date, the Company may elect to begin a new Deferral
Period, subject to

A-4

 

the above requirements and those in the Indenture. The Company may elect to pay deferred
interest on any Interest Payment Date during any Deferral Period to the extent permitted, and shall
pay deferred interest (including compounded interest thereon) to the extent required, by the
Indenture.

     To the extent permitted by law, each Holder of this Security, by such Holder’s acceptance of
this Security agrees that if a Bankruptcy Event shall occur prior to the redemption or repayment of
this Security, such Holder shall only have a claim for deferred and unpaid interest (including
compounded interest thereon) to the extent such interest (including compounded interest thereon)
relates to the earliest two years of the portion of the Deferral Period for which interest has not
so been paid.

     The Company shall give written notice to the Trustee and the Holders of this Security of its
election to begin any Deferral Period at least one Business Day prior to the Regular Record Date
for that Interest Payment Date, provided, however, that the Company’s failure to pay any interest
due within five Business Days after any Interest Payment Date shall automatically and without any
further action by any Person be deemed to commence a Deferral Period.

     [INCLUDE IF SECURITY IS AN ORIGINAL DEBENTURE — Pursuant to the Exchange and Registration
Rights Agreement, dated as of May 20, 2008 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), by and
among the Company and the Initial Purchasers (as defined therein), the Company has agreed for the
benefit of the Holders from time to time of this Security that it will (i) file under the
Securities Act, no later than 270 days after the date on which this Security is initially issued
(the “Issue Date”), a registration statement (the “Exchange Offer Registration
Statement”) relating to an offer to exchange the Securities for new junior subordinated
debentures having terms substantially identical to the Securities but that are registered under
the Securities Act (the “Exchange Offer”), (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to
cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act no
later than 360 days following the Issue Date and (iii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to
commence and complete the Exchange Offer promptly, but no later than 30 days after the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement has become effective; provided, however, that if on or prior to the
time the Exchange Offer is completed, existing interpretations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission are changed such that this Security is not or would not be, upon receipt under the
Exchange Offer, transferable by the Holder of this Security without restriction under the
Securities Act, the Company has agreed to file under the Securities Act no later than 360 days
after the Issue Date, a “shelf” registration statement providing for the registration of and the
sale on a continuous or delayed basis by the Holder of this Security (such registration statement,
the “Shelf Registration Statement”) and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause
the Shelf Registration Statement to become effective no later than 30 days after the Shelf
Registration Statement is filed.

     In the event that (i) the Exchange Offer has not been completed within 390 days after the
Issue Date, (ii) a Shelf Registration Statement is required to be filed and is not effective within
390 days of the Issue Date, or (iii) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or, if applicable,
the Shelf Registration Statement is filed and declared

A-5

 

effective but shall thereafter either be withdrawn by the Company or shall cease to be
effective except as permitted by the Registration Rights Agreement, in each case (i) through (iii)
upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement (each such event
referred to in clauses (i) through (iii), a “Registration Default” and each period during
which a Registration Default has occurred and is continuing, until the earlier of such time as no
Registration Default is in effect or the second anniversary of the Issue Date, a “Registration
Default Period”), then special interest (“Special Interest”) will accrue (in addition
to any stated interest on this Security) at a per annum rate of 0.125% for the first 90 days of the
Registration Default Period and increase by 0.125% per annum thereafter for the remaining portion
of the Registration Default Period; provided that in no event shall Special Interest accrue at a
rate in excess of 0.25% per annum in the aggregate.]

     Payment of the principal of and interest on this Security will be made at the office or agency
of the Company maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in
such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for
payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that at the option of the Company payment
of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such
address shall appear in the Security Register.

     Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse
hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at
this place.

     Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to
on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under
the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

REVERSE OF SECURITY

     This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called
the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under a Junior
Subordinated Debt Indenture, dated as of March 13, 2007 (herein called the “Base
Indenture”), which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument, as
supplemented by a Ninth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 20, 2008 (herein called the
“Ninth Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the
“Indenture”), in each case, between the Company and The Bank of New York, as Trustee
(herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the
Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights,
limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee, the holders of
Senior Debt and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and
are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face
hereof limited in aggregate principal amount to $4,000,000,000 (except for Securities authenticated
and delivered upon registration or transfer of, or exchange for, or in lieu of, other Securities
pursuant to Section 304, 305, 306, 906, or 1107 of the Base Indenture or Section 3.5 of the Ninth
Supplemental Indenture).

     All terms used in this Security that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings
assigned to them in the Indenture.

     The Securities of this series are subject to redemption upon not less than 10 days nor more
than 60 days’ prior notice by first class mail, postage pre-paid, to each Holder of Securities to
be redeemed, at the option of the Company, (i) on any Interest Payment Date on or after May 15,
2038, in whole or in part, at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid
interest thereon to the Redemption Date, (ii) at any time prior to May 15, 2038, in whole or in
part, at the Make-Whole Redemption Price and (iii) at any time prior to May 15, 2038, in whole but
not in part, in connection with a Tax Event or a Rating Agency Event, at the Make-Whole Redemption
Price.

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

     The indebtedness evidenced by this Security is, to the extent provided in the Indenture,
subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt, and
this Security is issued subject to the provisions of the Indenture with respect thereto. Each
Holder of this Security, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such
provisions, (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee on his or her behalf to take such actions as may
be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination so provided and (c) appoints the
Trustee as his or her attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. Each Holder hereof, by his
or her acceptance hereof, waives

A-8

 

all notice of the acceptance of the subordination provisions contained herein and in the
Indenture by each holder of Senior Debt, whether now outstanding or hereafter created, incurred,
assumed or Guaranteed, and waives reliance by each such holder of Senior Debt upon said provisions.

     The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance of the entire indebtedness of this Security
at any time prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date upon compliance with certain conditions set forth
in the Indenture.

     The Securities of this series are entitled to the benefits of the Events of Default described
in Section 2.1(j) of the Ninth Supplemental Indenture and the Enforcement Events as defined in the
Ninth Supplemental Indenture. The Holder of this Security and the Trustee shall be entitled to the
remedies provided by Section 502 of the Base Indenture only if an Event of Default specified in
clause (1) of Section 2.1(j) of the Ninth Supplemental Indenture shall occur with respect to the
Securities of this series. If an Event of Default specified in Section 501(5) or Section 501(6) of
the Base Indenture shall occur with respect to the Securities of this series, then in every such
case the principal amount of all the Securities of this series shall become automatically due and
payable immediately, without any declaration or other action on the part of the Trustee or any
Holder. An Event of Default specified in clause (2) of Section 2.1(j) of the Ninth Supplemental
Indenture shall not entitle the Holders to the benefits of Section 502 of the Base Indenture.

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

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

A-9

 

request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default or
Enforcement Event, as the case may be, as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and
the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and
shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice,
request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder
of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest
hereon on or after the respective due dates to the extent provided by Section 2.1(n) of the Ninth
Supplemental Indenture.

     As provided in the Indenture and subject to the transfer restrictions and limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of
this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place
where the principal of and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied
by a written instrument of transfer and any other written certification required by the Indenture,
in each case in a form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the
Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities
of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal
amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

     The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in
denominations of $1,000.00 and integral multiples of $1,000.00 in excess thereof. As provided in
the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are
exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor
of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

     No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the
Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
payable in connection therewith.

     Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the
Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this
Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be
overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.

     The Company and, by its acceptance of this Security or a beneficial interest therein, the
Holder of, and any Person that acquires beneficial interest in, this Security agree that, for
United States federal, state and local tax purposes, it is intended that this Security constitute
indebtedness of the Company.

     THE BASE INDENTURE, THE NINTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE AND THIS SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY
AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

     2. Registration Under the Securities Act.

	 	(a)	 	Except as set forth in Section 2(b) below, the Company agrees to file under the
Securities Act, no later than 270 days after the Closing Date, one or more

3

 

	 	 	 	registration statements relating to an offer to exchange (each such registration
statement, an “Exchange Registration Statement”, and each such offer, an “Exchange Offer”)
any and all of the Securities for a like aggregate principal amount of junior subordinated
debentures issued by the Company, which junior subordinated debentures have provisions that
are substantially identical to the Securities (and are entitled to the benefits of a trust
indenture which is substantially identical to the Indenture or is the Indenture and which
has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act), except that they have been registered
with the Commission pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act
and do not contain provisions restricting their transfer or for the additional interest
contemplated in Section 2(c) below (any such new junior subordinated debentures hereinafter
called “Exchange Securities”). The Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to
cause an Exchange Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act no
later than 360 days after the Closing Date. The Exchange Offers will be registered under the
Securities Act on the appropriate form and will comply, in all material respects, with all
applicable tender offer rules and regulations under the Exchange Act. The Company further
agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to commence and complete each Exchange Offer
promptly, but no later than 30 days after such Exchange Registration Statement has become
effective and exchange Exchange Securities for all Registrable Securities that have been
properly tendered and not withdrawn on or prior to the expiration of such Exchange Offer. An
Exchange Offer will be deemed to have been “completed” only if the Exchange Securities
received by holders other than Restricted Holders in such Exchange Offer for Registrable
Securities are, upon receipt, transferable by each such holder without restriction under the
Securities Act and without material restrictions under the blue sky or securities laws of a
substantial majority of the States of the United States of America. An Exchange Offer shall
be deemed to have been completed upon the earlier to occur of (i) the Company having
exchanged Exchange Securities for all outstanding Registrable Securities pursuant to the
Exchange Offer and (ii) the Company having exchanged, pursuant to such Exchange Offer,
Exchange Securities for all Registrable Securities that have been properly tendered and not
withdrawn before the expiration of such Exchange Offer, which shall be on a date that is at
least 20 business days following the commencement of such Exchange Offer. The Company agrees
(x) to include in an Exchange Registration Statement a prospectus for use in any resales by
any holder of Exchange Securities that is a broker-dealer or any other person with similar
prospectus delivery requirements and (y) to keep such Exchange Registration Statement
effective for a period (the “Resale Period”) beginning when Exchange Securities are first
issued in the Exchange Offer and ending upon the earlier of the expiration of the 30th day
after such Exchange Offer has been completed or such time as such broker-dealers or such
other persons no longer own any Registrable Securities. With respect to such Exchange
Registration Statement, such holders shall have the benefit of the rights of indemnification
and contribution set forth in Sections 6(a), (c) and (d) hereof. In the event the Company
for any reason does not complete the Exchange Offer as contemplated in this Section 2(a),
the Company shall have no further obligations under this Agreement except as provided in
Section 2(b) below and for the payment of “Special Interest” as provided in Section 2(c)
below.

	 	(b)	 	If on or prior to the time an Exchange Offer is completed in respect of the
Securities, existing Commission interpretations are changed such that the Exchange

4

 

	 	 	 	Securities received by holders, other than Restricted Holders, in the Exchange Offer
are not or would not be, upon receipt, transferable by each such holder without restriction
under the Securities Act, the Company shall, in lieu of conducting an Exchange Offer
contemplated by Section 2(a), file under the Securities Act no later than 360 days after the
Closing Date, a “shelf” registration statement providing for the registration of, and the
sale on a continuous or delayed basis by the holders of all of the Registrable Securities,
pursuant to Rule 415 or any similar rule that may be adopted by the Commission (such filing,
a “Shelf Registration” and such registration statement, the “Shelf Registration Statement”).
The Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Shelf Registration
Statement to become or be declared effective no later than 30 days after such Shelf
Registration Statement is filed and to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously
effective for a period ending on the earlier of the second anniversary of the Closing Date
or such time as all the Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement
are sold thereunder; provided, however, that no holder shall be entitled to be named as a
selling securityholder in such Shelf Registration Statement or to use the prospectus forming
a part thereof for resales of such Registrable Securities unless such holder is an Electing
Holder. The Company further agrees to supplement or make amendments to such Shelf
Registration Statement, as and when required by the rules, regulations or instructions
applicable to the registration form used by the Company for such Shelf Registration
Statement or by the Securities Act or rules and regulations thereunder for shelf
registration. In the event the Shelf Registration Statement has not been filed or become or
been declared effective as contemplated in this Section 2(b), the Company shall have no
further obligations under this Agreement except for the payment of “Special Interest” as
provided in Section 2(c) below.

	 	(c)	 	In the event that (i) the Exchange Offer is not completed within 390 days after the
Closing Date or (ii) the Shelf Registration Statement (to the extent required by Section
2(b) hereof) has not become or been declared effective by the 390th day after the Closing
Date or (iii) any Exchange Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement in respect
of the Securities required by Section 2(a) or 2(b) hereof is filed and declared effective
but shall thereafter either be withdrawn by the Company or shall become subject to an
effective stop order issued pursuant to Section 8(d) of the Securities Act suspending the
effectiveness of such registration statement (except as specifically permitted herein)
without being succeeded by a post-effective amendment or a prospectus supplement to such
registration statement or an additional registration statement that cures such failure and
that is itself declared effective promptly (each such event referred to in clauses (i)
through (iii), a “Registration Default” and each period during which a Registration Default
has occurred and is continuing until the earlier of such time as no Registration Default is
in effect or the second anniversary of the Closing Date, a “Registration Default Period”),
then, the Company hereby agrees to pay to each holder of Registrable Securities affected
thereby, as liquidated damages for such Registration Default, special interest (“Special
Interest”), in addition to the Base Interest, which shall accrue at a per annum rate of
0.125% for the first 90 days of the Registration Default Period, and shall increase at a per
annum rate of 0.125% thereafter for the remaining portion of the Registration Default
Period; provided that the Company shall in no event be required to pay Special Interest for
more than one Registration Default at any given

5

 

time; and provided further that in no event shall the Special Interest rate exceed
0.25% per annum in the aggregate.

     (d) The Company shall take all actions reasonably necessary or advisable to be taken by
it to ensure that the transactions contemplated herein are effected as so contemplated.

     (e) Any reference herein to a registration statement as of any time shall be deemed to
include any document incorporated, or deemed to be incorporated, therein by reference as of
such time and any reference herein to any post-effective amendment to a registration
statement as of any time shall be deemed to include any document incorporated, or deemed to
be incorporated, therein by reference as of such time.

     3. Registration Procedures.

     If the Company files a registration statement pursuant to Section 2(a) or Section 2(b), the
following provisions shall apply:

     (a) At or before the Effective Time of any Exchange Registration Statement or any Shelf
Registration Statement, as the case may be, in the event a new indenture is used, the
Company shall qualify the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act.

under the Indenture, the Company shall appoint a new trustee thereunder pursuant to the
applicable provisions of the Indenture.

     (c) In connection with the Company’s obligations with respect to any registration of
Exchange Securities as contemplated by Section 2(a) (an “Exchange Registration”), if

efforts to cause such Exchange Registration Statement to become effective no later
than 360 days after the Closing Date;

     (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the
Commission such amendments and supplements to such Exchange Registration Statement

and regulations of the Commission and the instructions applicable to the form of
such Exchange Registration Statement, and promptly provide each broker-dealer
holding Exchange Securities with such number of copies of the prospectus included
therein (as then amended or supplemented), in

6

 

conformity in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act
and the Trust Indenture Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission
thereunder, as such broker-dealer reasonably may request prior to the expiration of
the Resale Period, for use in connection with resales of such Exchange Securities;

     (iii) promptly notify each broker-dealer that has requested or received copies
of the prospectus included in such registration statement (A) when such Exchange
Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or any prospectus

respect to such Exchange Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment,
when the same has become effective, (B) of any request by the Commission for

proceeding for such purpose, or (F) at any time during the Resale Period when a

Registration Statement, prospectus, prospectus amendment or supplement or
post-effective amendment does not conform in all material respects to the applicable
requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act and the rules and
regulations of the Commission thereunder or contains an untrue statement of a
material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing;

     (iv) in the event that the Company would be required, pursuant to Section
3(c)(iii)(F) above, to notify any broker-dealers holding Exchange Securities,
promptly prepare and furnish to each such holder a reasonable number of copies of a
prospectus supplemented or amended so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of
such Exchange Securities during the Resale Period, such prospectus shall conform in
all material respects to the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the
Trust Indenture Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and
shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the
circumstances then existing;

     (v) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal or lifting of
any order suspending the effectiveness of such Exchange Registration Statement or
any post-effective amendment thereto at the earliest practicable date;

     (vi) use commercially reasonable efforts to (A) register or qualify the
Exchange Securities under the securities laws or blue sky laws of such

Registration, if applicable, the Company shall:

     (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the
Commission, within the time periods specified in Section 2(b), a Shelf Registration
Statement on any form which may be utilized by the Company and which shall register
all of the Registrable Securities for resale by the holders thereof in accordance

for so long as may be necessary to enable any such Electing Holder, agent or
underwriter to complete its distribution of Securities pursuant to such Shelf
Registration Statement and (C) take any and all other actions as may be reasonably
necessary or advisable to enable each such Electing Holder, agent, if any, and
underwriter, if any, to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of such
Registrable Securities; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required
for any such purpose to (1) qualify as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction
wherein it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for the requirements of
this Section 3(d)(xii), (2) consent to general service of process in any such
jurisdiction or (3) make any changes to its certificate of incorporation or by-laws
or any agreement between it and its stockholders;
	 
	 	(xiii)	 	use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent or approval of
each governmental agency or authority, whether federal, state or local, which may be
required by the Company in order to effect such Shelf Registration or the offering
or sale contemplated thereby;
	 
	 	(xiv)	 	provide a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, not later
than the applicable Effective Time;
	 
	 	(xv)	 	enter into one or more underwriting agreements, engagement letters, agency
agreements, “best efforts” underwriting agreements or similar agreements, as
appropriate, including customary provisions relating to indemnification and
contribution, and take such other actions in connection therewith as any Electing
Holders aggregating at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable
Securities at the time Outstanding shall reasonably request in order to expedite or
facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities; and
	 
	 	(xvi)	 	use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules
and regulations of the Commission, and make generally available to its
securityholders as soon as practicable, an earning statement of the Company and its
subsidiaries complying with Section 11(a) of the Securities Act (including, at the
option of the Company, Rule 158 thereunder).

     (e) In the event that the Company would be required, pursuant to Section 3(d)(viii)(F)
above, to notify the Electing Holders, the placement or sales agent, if any, therefor and
the managing underwriters, if any, thereof, the Company shall prepare and furnish to each of
the Electing Holders, to each placement or sales agent, if any, and to each such
underwriter, if any, a reasonable number of copies of a prospectus supplemented or amended
so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such
prospectus shall conform in all material respects to the applicable requirements of the
Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission
thereunder and shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact necessary to make the statements therein

12

 

not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing. Each Electing Holder agrees
that upon receipt of any notice from the Company pursuant to Section 3(d)(viii)(F) hereof,
such Electing Holder shall forthwith discontinue the disposition of the Registrable
Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement applicable to such Registrable
Securities until such Electing Holder shall have received copies of such amended or
supplemented prospectus, and if so directed by the Company, such Electing Holder shall
deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file
copies, then in such Electing Holder’s possession of the prospectus covering such
Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of such notice.

     (f) In the event of a Shelf Registration, in addition to the information required to be
provided by each Electing Holder in its Notice and Questionnaire, the Company may require
such Electing Holder to furnish to the Company such additional information regarding such
Electing Holder and such Electing Holder’s intended method of distribution of the
Registrable Securities as may be required in order to comply with the Securities Act. Each
such Electing Holder agrees to notify the Company as promptly as practicable of any
inaccuracy or change in information previously furnished by such Electing Holder to the
Company or of the occurrence of any event in either case as a result of which any prospectus
relating to such Shelf Registration contains or would contain an untrue statement of a
material fact regarding such Electing Holder or such Electing Holder’s intended method of
disposition of such Registrable Securities or omits to state any material fact regarding
such Electing Holder or such Electing Holder’s intended method of disposition of such
Registrable Securities necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of
the circumstances then existing, and promptly to furnish to the Company any additional
information required to correct and update any previously furnished information or required
so that such prospectus shall not contain, with respect to such Electing Holder or the
disposition of such Registrable Securities, an untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of
the circumstances then existing.

     (g) Until the expiration of two years after the Closing Date, the Company will not, and
will not permit any of its “affiliates” (as defined in Rule 144) to, resell any of the
Securities that have been reacquired by any of them except pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act.

     4. Registration Expenses.

     The Company agrees to bear and to pay or cause to be paid all expenses incident to the
Company’s performance of or compliance with this Agreement, including (a) all Commission and any
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority registration, filing and review fees and expenses including
fees and disbursements of counsel for the placement or sales agent or underwriters in connection
with such registration, filing and review, (b) all fees and expenses in connection with the
qualification of the Securities for offering and sale under the State securities and blue sky laws
referred to in Section 3(c)(vi) and Section 3(d)(xii) hereof and determination of their eligibility
for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions as any managing underwriters or the Electing
Holders may designate, including any fees and disbursements of counsel for the Electing Holders or
underwriters in connection with such qualification and

13

 

determination, (c) all expenses relating to the preparation, printing, production,
distribution and reproduction of each registration statement required to be filed hereunder, each
prospectus included therein or prepared for distribution pursuant hereto, each amendment or
supplement to the foregoing, the expenses of preparing the Exchange Securities for delivery and the
expenses of printing or producing any underwriting agreements, agreements among underwriters,
selling agreements and blue sky or legal investment memoranda and all other documents in connection
with the offering, sale or delivery of Securities to be disposed of (including certificates
representing the Exchange Securities), (d) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses relating to
the offering, sale or delivery of the Exchange Securities and the preparation of documents referred
in clause (c) above, (e) fees and expenses of the Trustee under the Indenture, any agent of the
Trustee and of any collateral agent or custodian, (f) internal expenses (including all salaries and
expenses of the Company’s officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), (g) fees,
disbursements and expenses of counsel and independent certified public accountants of the Company
(including the expenses of any opinions or “cold comfort” letters required by or incident to such
performance and compliance), (h) reasonably incurred fees, disbursements and expenses of one
counsel for the Electing Holders retained in connection with a Shelf Registration, as selected by
the Electing Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable
Securities held by Electing Holders (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
Company), (i) any fees charged by securities rating services for rating the Exchange Securities,
and (j) fees, expenses and disbursements of any other persons, including special experts, retained
by the Company in connection with such registration (collectively, the “Registration Expenses”). To
the extent that any Registration Expenses are incurred, assumed or paid by any holder of
Registrable Securities or any placement or sales agent therefor or underwriter thereof, the Company
shall reimburse such person for the full amount of the Registration Expenses so incurred, assumed
or paid after receipt of a request therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holders of the
Registrable Securities being registered shall pay all agency fees and commissions and underwriting
discounts and commissions attributable to the sale of such Registrable Securities and the fees and
disbursements of any counsel or other advisors or experts retained by such holders (severally or
jointly), other than the counsel and experts specifically referred to above.

     5. Representations and Warranties.

     The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Initial Purchasers and each of
the holders from time to time of Registrable Securities that:

	 	(a)	 	Each registration statement covering Registrable Securities and each prospectus
(including any preliminary or summary prospectus) contained therein or furnished pursuant to
Section 3(c) or Section 3(d) hereof and any further amendments or supplements to any such
registration statement or prospectus, when it becomes effective or is filed with the
Commission, as the case may be, and, in the case of an underwritten offering of Registrable
Securities, at the time of the sale by the underwriters under the underwriting agreement
relating thereto and at the time of closing under such underwriting agreement, will conform
in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture
Act and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances then
existing not misleading; and at all times subsequent to

14

 

	 	 	 	the Effective Time when a prospectus would be required to be delivered under the
Securities Act, other than from (i) such time as a notice has been given to holders of
Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3(c)(iii)(F) or Section 3(d)(viii)(F) hereof
until (ii) such time as the Company furnishes an amended or supplemented prospectus pursuant
to Section 3(c)(iv) or Section 3(e) hereof, each such registration statement, and each
prospectus (including any summary prospectus) contained therein or furnished pursuant to
Section 3(c) or Section 3(d) hereof, as then amended or supplemented, will conform in all
material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act and
will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances
then existing; provided, however, that this representation and warranty shall not apply to
(i) that part of the registration statement which constitutes the Statement of Eligibility
under the Trust Indenture Act of the Trustee, (ii) statements or omissions in the
registration statement or the prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with
information furnished in writing by a holder of Registrable Securities expressly for use
therein; and (iii) any statement which does not constitute part of the registration
statement or prospectus pursuant to Rule 412 under the Securities Act.
	 
	 	(b)	 	The documents to be incorporated by reference in the prospectus, when they were
filed with the Commission, conformed in all material respects to the requirements of the
Exchange Act, and none of such documents contained an untrue statement of a material fact or
omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of
the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading; and any further documents so
filed and incorporated by reference, when they are filed with the Commission, will conform
in all material respects to the requirements of the Exchange Act and will not contain an
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not
misleading; provided, however, that this representation and warranty shall not apply to any
statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished
in writing to the Company by a holder of Registrable Securities expressly for use therein or
to any statement in any such document which does not constitute part of the registration
statement or prospectus pursuant to Rule 412 under the Securities Act.
	 
	 	(c)	 	The compliance by the Company with all of the provisions of this Agreement and the
consummation of the transactions herein contemplated will not result in a breach of any of
the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any material indenture, mortgage,
deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument 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, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of the
Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, or the By-laws of the Company or any
statute or any order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body having
jurisdiction over the Company or any of its properties, except, in each case, for such
breaches, defaults and violations that would not have a material adverse effect on the
business, financial position, shareholders’ equity or results of operations of the Company
and its subsidiaries considered as an entirety (a “Material Adverse Effect”); and no
consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or

15

 

	 	 	 	qualification of or with any court or any such regulatory authority or other
governmental agency or body is required for the consummation by the Company of the other
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for the registration of the Securities
under the Securities Act, and the qualification of an indenture under the Trust Indenture
Act, as contemplated by this Agreement, and such consents, approvals, authorizations,
registrations or qualifications the failure to obtain or make would not have a Material
Adverse Effect or affect the validity of the Exchange Securities and as may be required
under State securities or blue sky or insurance securities laws in connection with the
offering and distribution of the Exchange Securities.

     6. Indemnification.

	 	(a)	 	Indemnification by the Company. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each
of the holders of Registrable Securities included in an Exchange Registration Statement,
each of the Electing Holders of Registrable Securities included in a Shelf Registration
Statement and each person who participates as a placement or sales agent or as an
underwriter and each person, if any, who controls such placement or sales agent or
underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act in any offering or sale of such
Registrable Securities against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several,
to which such holder, agent, underwriter or control person may become subject under the
Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Exchange Registration Statement or
Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, under which such Registrable Securities
were registered under the Securities Act, or any preliminary, final or summary prospectus
contained therein or furnished by the Company to any such holder, Electing Holder, agent or
underwriter, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse such holder, such Electing Holder,
such agent, such underwriter and such control person for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable
in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of
or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission made in any of such documents in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by such person expressly for use therein; and provided,
further, that with respect to any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement
or omission made in any preliminary prospectus, the indemnity agreement contained in this
Section 6(a) shall not inure to the benefit of any holder of Registrable Securities included
in an Exchange Registration Statement, Electing Holders of Registrable Securities included
in a Shelf Registration Statement or any person who participates as a placement or sales
agent or as an underwriter in any offering or sale of such Registrable Securities from whom
the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased such
Registrable Securities (or to the benefit of any person controlling any placement or sales
agent or underwriter), to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability of such
person results from the fact that a copy of the prospectus was not sent or given to such

16

 

	 	 	 	person at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such Registrable
Securities to such person.

	 	(b)	 	Indemnification by the Holders and any Agents and Underwriters. The Company may
require, as a condition to including any Registrable Securities in any registration
statement filed pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof and to entering into any underwriting
agreement with respect thereto, that the Company shall have received an undertaking
reasonably satisfactory to it from the Electing Holder of such Registrable Securities and
from each underwriter named in any such underwriting agreement, severally and not jointly,
to (i) indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers
who have signed any Shelf Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the
Company within the meaning of the Securities Act and all other holders of Registrable
Securities, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or any
such director, officer, controlling person or such other holders of Registrable Securities
may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such
registration statement, or any preliminary, final or summary prospectus contained therein or
furnished by the Company to any such Electing Holder, agent or underwriter, or any amendment
or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in
each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity
with written information furnished to the Company by such Electing Holder or underwriter
expressly for use therein, and (ii) reimburse the Company, any director, officer or
controlling person or other holder of Registrable Securities for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer or controlling person or
holder of Registrable Securities in connection with investigating or defending any such
loss, claim, damage, liability or action.

	 	(c)	 	Notices of Claims, Etc. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under
subsection (a) or (b) above of notice in writing of the commencement of any action, such
indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying
party pursuant to the indemnification provisions under this Section 6, notify such
indemnifying party of the commencement of such action; but the omission to so notify the
indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any
indemnified party otherwise than under the indemnification provisions of Section 6(a) or
Section 6(b) hereof. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party
and it shall notify an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, such indemnifying
party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly
with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the
consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice
from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the
defense thereof, such indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for
any legal or other expenses, in each case

17

 

	 	 	 	subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof
other than reasonable costs of investigation.

	 	(d)	 	Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provisions contemplated by
Section 6(a) or Section 6(b) hereof are unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an
indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the
amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages
or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection
with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
relates to information supplied by such indemnifying party or by such indemnified party, and
the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 6(d) were determined by pro rata
allocation (even if the holders or any agents or underwriters or all of them were treated as
one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take
account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 6(d). The amount paid or
payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, or liabilities
(or actions in respect thereof) referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or
other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with
investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section 6(d), no holder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount
by which the dollar amount of the proceeds received by such holder from the sale of any
Registrable Securities (after deducting any fees, discounts and commissions applicable
thereto) exceeds the amount of any damages which such holder has otherwise been required to
pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission,
and no underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by
which the total price at which the Registrable Securities underwritten by it and distributed
to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such
underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The
holders’ and any underwriters’ obligations in this Section 6(d) to contribute shall be
several in proportion to the principal amount of Registrable Securities registered or
underwritten, as the case may be, by them and not joint.

     7. Underwritten Offerings.

	 	(a)	 	Selection of Underwriters. If any of the Registrable Securities covered by a Shelf
Registration are to be sold pursuant to an underwritten offering, the managing

18

 

	 	 	 	underwriter or underwriters thereof shall be designated by Electing Holders holding at
least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Securities to be included
in such offering, provided that such designated managing underwriter or underwriters is
acceptable to the Company.

	 	(b)	 	Participation by Holders. Each holder of Registrable Securities hereby agrees with
each other such holder that no such holder may participate in any underwritten offering
hereunder unless such holder (i) agrees to sell such holder’s Registrable Securities on the
basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the persons entitled hereunder
to approve such arrangements and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of
attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under
the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

     8. Rule 144.

     For one year from the initial issuance of the Debentures, the Company covenants to the holders
of Registrable Securities that to the extent it shall be required to do so under the Exchange Act,
the Company shall timely file the reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act or the
Securities Act (including the reports under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act referred to
in subparagraph (c)(1) of Rule 144) and the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission
thereunder, and shall take such further action as any holder of Registrable Securities may
reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such holder to sell
Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitations of the
exemption provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to
time, or any similar or successor rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon the
request of any holder of Registrable Securities in connection with that holder’s sale pursuant to
Rule 144, the Company shall deliver to such holder a written statement as to whether it has
complied with such requirements.

     9. Miscellaneous.

	 	(a)	 	Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands, waivers and other communications
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered by
hand, if delivered personally or by courier, or three days after being deposited in the mail
(registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested) as follows: If to
the Company, to it at 70 Pine Street, New York, New York 10270, Attention: Secretary, and
if to a holder, to the address of such holder set forth in the security register or other
records of the Company, or to such other address as the Company or any such holder may have
furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notices of change of
address shall be effective only upon receipt.

	 	(b)	 	Parties in Interest. All the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be
binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the parties hereto
and the holders from time to time of the Registrable Securities and the respective
successors and assigns of the parties hereto and such holders and the directors, officers
and controlling persons referred to in Section 6 hereof. In the event that any transferee of

19

 

	 	 	 	any holder of Registrable Securities shall acquire Registrable Securities, in any
manner, whether by gift, bequest, purchase, operation of law or otherwise, such transferee
shall, without any further writing or action of any kind, be deemed a beneficiary hereof for
all purposes and such Registrable Securities shall be held subject to all of the terms of
this Agreement, and by taking and holding such Registrable Securities such transferee shall
be entitled to receive the benefits of, and be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be
bound by, all of the applicable terms and provisions of this Agreement. If the Company shall
so request, any such successor, assign or transferee shall agree in writing to acquire and
hold the Registrable Securities subject to all of the applicable terms hereof. If the
Company so requests, then until such writing is obtained, such successor, assign or
transferee shall have no rights under this Agreement.

	 	(c)	 	Survival. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and
each other provision set forth in this Agreement or made pursuant hereto shall remain in
full force and effect regardless of any investigation (or statement as to the results
thereof) made by or on behalf of any holder of Registrable Securities, any director, officer
or partner of such holder, any agent or underwriter or any director, officer or partner
thereof, or any controlling person of any of the foregoing, and shall survive the transfer
and registration of Registrable Securities by such holder and the consummation of an
Exchange Offer.

	 	(d)	 	Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York.

	 	(e)	 	Headings. The descriptive headings of the several Sections and paragraphs of this
Agreement are inserted for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and
shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

	 	(f)	 	Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and the other writings referred to
herein (including the Indenture and the Debentures) or delivered pursuant hereto which form
a part hereof contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to its subject
matter. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the
parties with respect to its subject matter. This Agreement may be amended and the observance
of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance
and either retroactively or prospectively) only by a written instrument duly executed by the
Company. In the case of any amendment or waiver that materially and adversely affects the
rights of a holder of Registrable Securities, such amendment or waiver must be approved by
the holders of not less than a majority of the Registrable Securities held by the materially
and adversely affected holders of Registrable Securities. Each holder of any Registrable
Securities at the time or thereafter Outstanding shall be bound by any amendment or waiver
effected pursuant to this Section 9(f), whether or not any notice, writing or marking
indicating such amendment or waiver appears on such Registrable Securities or is delivered
to such holder. Any such amendment may be retroactive so long as such amendment does not
adversely affect the rights of any holder of Registrable Securities in any material respect.

20

 

	 	(g)	 	Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties in counterparts, each
of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such respective counterparts shall
together constitute one and the same instrument.

21

 

     If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, please sign and return to us seven
counterparts hereof, and upon the acceptance hereof by you, this letter and such acceptance hereof
shall constitute a binding agreement between the Purchaser and the Company.

Notice of Registration Statement

and

Selling Securityholder Questionnaire

(Date)

Reference is hereby made to the Agreement (the “Agreement”) between American International Group,
Inc. (the “Company”) and the Initial Purchasers named therein. Pursuant to the Agreement, the
