AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL GROUP, INC.
2013 LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
2015 PERFORMANCE SHARE UNITS AWARD AGREEMENT
1. Status of Award; Defined Terms. American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”) has awarded you performance share units (this “Award”) pursuant to the AIG 2013 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). This Award Agreement (“Award Agreement”), which sets forth the terms and conditions of your Award, is made pursuant to the Plan and this Award and Award Agreement are subject to the terms of the Plan. Capitalized terms not defined in this Award Agreement have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.
2. Award of PSUs.
2.1 AIG hereby awards you the number of performance share units (“PSUs”) specified in Schedule A (the “Target PSUs”). Each PSU constitutes an unfunded and unsecured promise of AIG to deliver (or cause to be delivered) one Share (or, at the election of AIG, cash equal to the Fair Market Value thereof) in accordance with the Plan.
2.2 The actual number of PSUs that will be earned is subject to the Committee’s assessment of achievement based on the Performance Measures established for the Performance Period.
2.3 After the end of the Performance Period, the Committee will determine the percentage of your Target PSUs that will be earned (such earned PSUs, the “Earned PSUs”). The number of Shares covered by your Earned PSUs may range from 0% to 150% of your Target PSUs. Your Earned PSUs will be subject to vesting and will be paid in accordance with the schedule set forth in the Plan. On any payment date, the number of Shares to be issued under this Award Agreement shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share.
3. Dividend Equivalents. In the event that any cash dividend is declared on shares of AIG Common Stock with a record date that occurs during the Dividend Equivalent Period, you will receive dividend equivalent rights in the form of additional PSUs (the “Dividend Equivalent Units”) at the time such dividend is paid to AIG’s shareholders. The number of Dividend Equivalent Units that you will receive at any such time will be equal to (i) the cash dividend amount per Share times (ii) the number of PSUs covered by this Award (and, unless otherwise determined by AIG, any Dividend Equivalent Units previously credited under this Award) that have not been previously settled through the delivery of Shares (or cash) prior to, such date, divided by the Fair Market Value of one Share on the applicable dividend record date. Each Dividend Equivalent Unit will constitute an unfunded and unsecured promise of AIG to deliver (or cause to be delivered) one Share (or, at the election of AIG, cash equal to the Fair Market Value thereof) in accordance with the Plan, and will vest and be settled or paid at the same time, and subject to the same terms and conditions (including, but not limited to, increase or decrease based on achievement of the Performance Measures in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.3 above), as the PSUs on which such Dividend Equivalent Unit was accrued. “Dividend Equivalent Period” means the period commencing on the
date on which the PSUs were awarded to you and ending on the last day on which Shares (or cash) are delivered to you with respect to the Earned PSUs.
4. Non-Disclosure. During the term of your Employment, the Company has permitted and will continue to permit you to have access to and become acquainted with information of a confidential, proprietary and/or trade secret nature.

5. Non-Solicitation. Your Employment with the Company requires exposure to and use of confidential, proprietary and/or trade secret information (as set forth in Paragraph 3). Subject to and in addition to any non-solicitation requirements to which you were subject prior to the date you electronically consent to or execute this Award Agreement, you agree that (i) during your Employment with the Company and any time thereafter, you will not, directly or indirectly, on your own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, solicit, contact, call upon, communicate with or attempt to communicate with any customer or client or prospective customer or client of the Company where to do so would require the use or disclosure of confidential, proprietary and/or trade secret information, and (ii) during your Employment with the Company and for a period of one (1) year after Employment terminates for any reason, you will not, directly or indirectly, regardless of who initiates the communication, solicit, participate in the solicitation or recruitment of, or in any manner encourage or provide assistance to any employee, consultant, registered representative, or agent of the Company to terminate his or her Employment or other relationship with the Company or to leave its employ or other relationship with the Company for any engagement in any capacity or any other person or entity.

Nothing herein shall prevent you from making or publishing any truthful statement (a) when required by law, subpoena or court order, (b) in the course of any legal, arbitral or regulatory proceeding, (c) to any governmental authority, regulatory agency or self-regulatory organization, or (d) in connection with any investigation by the Company.
