     AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL GROUP, INC., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws

interest on the next day that is a Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made on the

respect to the delay. If the Stated Maturity or earlier Redemption Date falls on a day that
is not a Business Day, the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest need not be made on
such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, with the same force and effect as
if made on the Stated Maturity or earlier Redemption Date, provided that no interest shall accrue
for the period from and after such Stated Maturity or earlier Redemption Date.

     Payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note will be made at the
office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City

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 Note shall be conclusive
and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon

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

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

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

executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or
more new Notes 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.

Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
payable in connection therewith.

its registered assigns, the principal sum of Five Hundred Million Dollars ($500,000,000) on
December 15, 2020, and to pay interest thereon from December 3, 2010, or from the most recent
Interest Payment Date (as defined below) to which interest has been paid or duly provided for,
semiannually in arrears on each June 15 and December 15 (each such date, an “Interest Payment
Date”), commencing on June 15, 2011 at the rate of 6.400% per annum, until the principal hereof is
paid or made available for payment. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided
for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in
whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on
the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the May 31 or November 30 (whether or not
a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest
not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on

such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture.

     Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

interest on the next day that is a Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made on the
Interest Payment Date, and without any interest or other payment with respect to the delay. If the
Stated Maturity or earlier Redemption Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment
of principal, premium, if any, and interest need not be made on such date, but may be made on the
next succeeding Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made on the Stated Maturity or
earlier Redemption Date, provided

-5-

 

that no interest shall accrue for the period from and after such Stated Maturity or earlier
Redemption Date.

     Payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note 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.

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

-6-

 

Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.
This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof.

     The Notes of this series are subject to redemption at any time, in whole or in part, at the

the Indenture, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount,
together with accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date, and (ii) as determined by the

interest thereon (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the
Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year
consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, plus
accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date.

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

     “Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal
to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price

     “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the U.S. Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent
as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes that would be utilized, at the
time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of
corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Notes.

     “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the average of the
Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date.

Inc., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated or
the respective successor of any of them; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall

Dealer”), the Company shall substitute therefor another Person that is a Primary Treasury Dealer;
and (ii) any other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Quotation Agent after consultation with
the Company.

Treasury Dealer at 3:30 p.m. on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.

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

principal of the Notes of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the
effect provided in the 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 Note shall be conclusive
and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon
the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not
notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

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

amount of Notes of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request,
and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice,
request and offer of

indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Note for
the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or premium, if any, or interest hereon on or
after the respective due dates expressed herein.

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

     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the
transfer of this Note is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Note for
registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of
and premium, if any, or interest on this Note are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in 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 Notes 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 Notes of this series are issuable only in fully registered form without coupons in
denominations of $2,000 and any multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture

a like aggregate principal amount of Notes 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 Note 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 Note is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither
