Ladies and Gentlemen:

American International Group, Inc. (the “Company”), proposes to make an offer (the “Exchange Offer”) to exchange $500,000,000 of its 4.700% Notes Due 2010 (the “New Five-Year Notes”) and $1,000,000,000 of its 5.050% Notes Due 2015 (together with the New Five-Year Notes, the “New Notes”), which have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for $500,000,000 of its outstanding 4.700% Notes Due 2010 (the “Old Five-Year Notes”) and $1,000,000,000 of its outstanding 5.050% Notes Due 2015 (together with the Old Five-Year Notes, the “Old Notes”), which have not been registered under the Securities Act. The terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer as currently contemplated are set forth in a prospectus, dated July , 2006 (the “Prospectus”), and a Letter of Transmittal, a copy of which is attached as Annex A (the “Letter of Transmittal”), proposed to be distributed to all record holders of the Old Notes. The Old Notes and the New Notes are collectively referred to herein as the “Notes.”

The Company hereby appoints The Bank of New York to act as exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) in connection with the Exchange Offer. References hereinafter to “you” shall refer to The Bank of New York. The Exchange Offer is expected to be commenced by the Company on or about , 2006. The Automated Tender Offer Program (“ATOP”) of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”)) is to be used by the holders of the Old Notes to accept the Exchange Offer. The Letter of Transmittal contains instructions with respect to the delivery of Old Notes tendered in connection therewith.

The Exchange Offer shall commence on , 2006 (the “Effective Time”) and shall expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on , 2006 or on such subsequent date or time to which the Company may extend the Exchange Offer (the “Expiration Date”). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Prospectus, the Company expressly reserves the right to extend the Exchange Offer from time to time and may extend the Exchange Offer by giving oral (promptly confirmed in writing) or written notice to you before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the previously scheduled Expiration Date. If the Exchange Offer is extended, then the term “Expiration Date” shall mean the latest date and time to which the Exchange Offer is extended.

The Company expressly reserves the right to amend the Exchange Offer or to delay acceptance of Old Notes, or to terminate the Exchange Offer if, in the Company’s sole judgment, any of the conditions of the Exchange Offer specified in the Prospectus under the caption “The Exchange Offer — Conditions to the Exchange Offer” shall not have been satisfied. The Company will give oral (promptly confirmed in writing) or written notice of any amendment, delay or termination to you as promptly as practicable. In carrying out your duties as Exchange Agent, you are to act in accordance with the following instructions:


	1. You will perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in the section of the Prospectus captioned “The Exchange Offer,” as specifically set forth in the Letter of Transmittal or as specifically set forth herein; provided, however, that in no way will your general duty to act in good faith be discharged by the foregoing.

	2. You will establish a book-entry account with respect to the Old Notes at DTC to facilitate book-entry tenders of the Old Notes through DTC’s ATOP for the Exchange Offer within two business days after the date of the Prospectus, and any financial institution that is a participant in DTC’s systems may make book-entry delivery of the Old Notes by causing DTC to transfer such Old Notes into your account in accordance with DTC’s procedure for such transfer.

	3. From and after the Effective Time, you are hereby authorized and directed to accept and to examine each of the Letters of Transmittal and confirmation of book-entry transfer into your account at


	DTC and any other documents delivered or mailed to you by or for holders of the Old Notes to ascertain whether: (i) the Letters of Transmittal (or the instructions from DTC (the “DTC Transmissions”)) contain the proper information required to be set forth therein and any such other documents (including a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Notice of Guaranteed Delivery”)) are duly executed and properly completed in accordance with instructions set forth therein; and (ii) that book-entry confirmations are in due and proper form and contain the information required to be set forth therein. In each case where the Letter of Transmittal or any other document has been improperly completed or executed (or any DTC Transmission is not in due and proper form or omits required information) or some other irregularity in connection with the acceptance of the Exchange Offer exists, you will endeavor to inform the Holders of the need for fulfillment of all requirements. If such condition is not promptly remedied by the Holder, you shall report such condition to the Company and await its direction. All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including timeliness of receipt), acceptance and withdrawal of any Old Notes tendered or delivered shall be determined by the Company, in its sole discretion.

	4. You are authorized to request from any person tendering Old Notes to provide you with such additional documents as you or the Company deems appropriate. You are hereby authorized and directed to process withdrawals of tenders to the extent withdrawal thereof is authorized by the Exchange Offer.

	5. The Company reserves the absolute right (i) to reject any or all tenders of any particular Old Note determined by the Company not to be in proper form or the acceptance or exchange of which may, in the opinion of Company’s counsel, be unlawful and (ii) to waive any of the conditions of the Exchange Offer or any defects, irregularities or conditions to the tender of any particular Old Note, and the Company’s interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer (including the Letter of Transmittal and Notice of Guaranteed Delivery and the instructions set forth therein) will be final and binding.

	6. With the approval of the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or Treasurer, of the Company (such approval, if given orally, to be promptly confirmed in writing) or any other officer of the Company designated by the Chief Executive Officer (each an “Authorized Officer”), you are authorized to waive any irregularities in connection with any tender of Old Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer.

	7. Tenders of Old Notes may be made only as set forth in the Letter of Transmittal and in the section of the Prospectus captioned “The Exchange Offer — Procedures for Tendering,” and Old Notes shall be considered properly tendered to you only when tendered in accordance with the procedures set forth therein.

	Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, Old Notes which an Authorized Officer shall approve as having been properly tendered shall be considered to be properly tendered (such approval, if given orally, shall be promptly confirmed in writing).

	8. You shall advise the Company with respect to any Old Notes received subsequent to the Expiration Date and accept the Company’s written instructions with respect to disposition of such Old Notes.

	9. Upon satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions to the Exchange Offer, the Company will notify you (such notice, if given orally, to be promptly confirmed in writing) of its acceptance, promptly after the Expiration Date, of all Old Notes properly tendered and you, on behalf of the Company, will exchange such Old Notes for New Notes and cause such Old Notes to be cancelled and delivered to the Company. Delivery of New Notes will be made on behalf of the Company by you, and each $1,000 principal amount of Old Notes of a series shall be exchanged for an equal principal amount of New Notes of the corresponding series; provided, however, that New Notes shall only be issued in denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, such delivery shall be made promptly after notice (such notice if given orally, to be promptly confirmed in writing) of acceptance of said Old Notes by the Company; provided, however, that in all cases, Old Notes tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer will be exchanged only after timely receipt by you of confirmation of book-entry transfer into your


	account at DTC, a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (or manually signed facsimile thereof) with any required signature guarantees (or DTC Transmission) and, if applicable, a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, and any other required documents.

	10. Tenders pursuant to the Exchange Offer are irrevocable, except that, subject to the terms and upon the conditions set forth in the Prospectus and the Letter of Transmittal, Old Notes tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be withdrawn at any time prior to the Expiration Date.

	11. The Company shall not be required to exchange any Old Notes tendered if any of the conditions set forth in the Exchange Offer are not met. Notice of any decision by the Company not to exchange any Old Notes tendered shall be given (if given orally, to be promptly confirmed in writing) by the Company to you.

	12. If, pursuant to the Exchange Offer, the Company does not accept for exchange all or part of the Old Notes tendered because of an invalid tender, the occurrence of certain other events set forth in the Prospectus under the captions “The Exchange Offer — Terms of the Exchange Offer” or “The Exchange Offer — Conditions to the Exchange Offer” or otherwise, you shall as soon as practicable after the expiration or termination of the Exchange Offer effect appropriate book-entry transfer, together with any related required documents that are in your possession, to the persons who deposited them.

	13. You are not authorized to pay or offer to pay any concessions, commissions or solicitation fees to any broker, dealer, bank or other persons or to engage or utilize any person to solicit tenders.

	14. As Exchange Agent hereunder you:

	(g) may conclusively rely on and shall be protected in acting upon written or oral instructions from any authorized officer of the Company or from Company’s counsel;

	(h) may consult with counsel of your selection with respect to any questions relating to your duties and responsibilities and the advice or opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by you hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel; and


	(i) shall not make any recommendation as to whether a holder or beneficial owner of Old Notes should or should not tender such holder’s or beneficial owner’s Old Notes and shall not solicit any holder or beneficial owner for the purpose of causing such holder or beneficial owner to tender such holder’s or beneficial owner’s Old Notes.


	15. You shall take such action as may from time to time be requested by the Company (and such other action as you may deem appropriate) to furnish copies of the Prospectus, Letter of Transmittal and the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery or such other forms as may be approved from time to time by the Company, to all persons requesting such documents and to accept and comply with telephone, mail or facsimile requests for information relating to the Exchange Offer, provided that such information shall relate only to the procedures for accepting (or withdrawing from) the Exchange Offer.
