The Company shall have the right on any Interest Reset Date scheduled to occur on September 20, 2008 or on any Interest Reset Date scheduled to occur on September 20 thereafter until the Maturity Date (any date so designated, the “Conversion Date”), upon prior written notice delivered to the Trustee and each Holder, at least 170 days prior to such Interest Reset Date, to elect to pay cash interest on this Note on each Interest Payment Date on and after the Conversion Date. Any such election, once made, shall be irrevocable. On the Conversion Date, the Accrued Interest on such Conversion Date shall become due and payable in the same manner as provided for payments of interest on this Note. Following the Conversion Date, interest on the Stated Principal Amount shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date at a rate equal to LIBOR-Reuters plus the Spread for the Interest Period then ending.

     5. Holder Spread Adjustment. (a) Each Holder shall have the right to propose the Spread to be applicable for one or more subsequent consecutive Interest Periods specified by such Holder for which no Spread has been previously determined, beginning with or following the Interest Period scheduled to begin on September 20, 2008 (each, a “Holder Designated Spread”) by notice given to the Trustee not more than 40 days nor fewer than 30 days prior to the Interest Reset Date in respect of such Interest Period or Interest Periods provided, however that for as long (but only for as long) as this Note or any portion hereof is issued in the form of a Global Note, each beneficial owner of the Notes represented by this Note may give such notice in respect of Notes beneficially owned by it by causing the Agent Member through which such beneficial owner holds such Notes to provide to the Trustee a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit A included in Annex B attached hereto. The Trustee, the Calculation Agent and the Company shall be entitled to rely on any such notice so provided by the Agent Member without independent investigation thereof. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Calculation Agent of each Holder Designated Spread.
     (b) If Holders representing 100% of the outstanding Stated Principal Amount of Notes propose a Holder Designated Spread and a common number of subsequent Interest Periods for which their respective Holder Designated Spreads are to apply, in accordance with paragraph 5(a) above, the Company shall notify each Holder, the Trustee and the Calculation Agent not later than 25 days prior to the next Interest Reset Date whether the Company elects to have the highest Holder Designated Spread be the applicable Spread for the applicable number of subsequent Interest Periods, beginning on such Interest Reset Date. If the Company so elects, then such highest Holder Designated Spread shall be the Spread for Interest Reset Dates relating to the applicable Interest Periods. The adjustment of the Spread as specified in this paragraph 5 is referred to as a “Holder Spread Adjustment”.
     (c) Upon the occurrence of a Holder Spread Adjustment, the Holder Designated Spread, as determined pursuant to paragraphs 5(a) and 5(b) above, shall be the Spread until the earliest of (i) the Maturity Date, (ii) the next Holder Spread Adjustment and (iii) the next Dealer Spread Adjustment.
     (d) If Holders representing 100% of the outstanding Stated Principal Amount of the Notes do not propose a Holder Designated Spread and a common number of subsequent Interest Periods for which their respective Holder Designated Spreads are to apply, in accordance with paragraph 5(a) above, for an Interest Reset Date for which no Spread has been previously determined, or if the Company fails to make the election specified in paragraph 5(b) above with respect to such an Interest Reset Date, then the procedures contained in paragraph 6 below shall apply with respect to such an Interest Reset Date. The Company shall notify the Trustee and each Holder of such result not fewer than 25 days prior to any such Interest Reset Date.

17


 

     6. Dealer Spread Adjustment. (a) The provisions of this paragraph 6 shall apply with respect to each Interest Reset Date for which the Spread is not adjusted pursuant to the Holder Spread Adjustment procedure set forth in paragraph 5 above, except that the provisions of this paragraph 6 shall not in any case apply with respect to any Interest Reset Date scheduled to occur before September 20, 2008. The procedure by which the Spread is adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph is referred to herein as a “Dealer Spread Adjustment”.
     (b) Notwithstanding the purchase of Notes on an Interest Reset Date by the Final Dealer as contemplated in paragraph 6(e) below, each Holder may elect to retain all or a portion of its Notes by providing notice of such election (a “Hold Notice”) to the Trustee not later than 20 days prior to such Interest Reset Date. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and the Calculation Agent of all such Hold Notices. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, with respect to a particular Interest Reset Date, Holders (“Electing Holders”) deliver Hold Notices with respect to Notes representing more than 80% of the outstanding Stated Principal Amount of Notes (the “Hold Notice Ceiling”), a portion of the Notes subject to Hold Notices (not exceeding 20% of the outstanding Stated Principal Amount of Notes) shall nonetheless be subject to remarketing pursuant to this paragraph 6, selected by the Trustee by lot from among Electing Holders, to the extent necessary so that the total amount of Notes remarketed shall equal 20% of the outstanding Stated Principal Amount of Notes. Such Notes (if any), together with those Notes as to which no Hold Notice has been delivered, are referred to as “Remarketed Notes” for the respective Interest Reset Date. If, with respect to any Interest Reset Date, Hold Notices are delivered in respect of Notes in excess of the Hold Notice Ceiling, the Trustee shall, upon written instructions from the Company, give written notice to Electing Holders, not later than 5:00 p.m. New York time on the fifteenth day prior to the Interest Reset Date, of the amount of such Notes that, pursuant to this paragraph 6(b), will be Remarketed Notes, subject to the remarketing procedures set forth in this paragraph 6 for such Interest Reset Date.
     (c) The Spread on all Notes, whether or not they are Remarketed Notes, will be subject to any Dealer Spread Adjustment that occurs pursuant to this paragraph 6. In the case of a Continuing Failed Remarketing or a Continuing Market Disruption , the Company shall be obligated to purchase, and certain Holders shall be obligated to sell, Notes on the relevant Interest Reset Date as set forth in section (g) of this paragraph 6.
     (d) On the sixth Market Day prior to each Interest Reset Date to which this paragraph 6 applies (each, a “Calculation Date”), the Calculation Agent shall take the following actions (all underlined times noted below are indicative and all references to a specific time are references to New York City time):
          (i) 9:00 a.m.: The Company shall provide to the Calculation Agent the name of a reference dealer, and shall provide, for such reference dealer so named, the name of, and telephone and facsimile numbers and email addresses for, one individual who will represent such reference dealer; in addition, the Calculation Agent shall select

18


 

two additional reference dealers such that there are a total of three reference dealers with respect to such Calculation Date (which reference dealer(s) may be (or include) AIG-FS at the Calculation Agent’s option);
          (ii) 9:15 a.m.: The Calculation Agent promptly shall contact each of the reference dealers and request that each reference dealer provide to the Calculation Agent the following firm bid for the benefit of Holders of Remarketed Notes (which bid shall remain firm for 30 minutes): a firm bid (on an all-in basis) to purchase, for settlement on the related Interest Reset Date, the Remarketed Notes from their respective Holders for a purchase price equal to the principal amount of the Remarketed Notes plus (except where the Interest Reset Date is also an Interest Payment Date) the amount of Accrued Interest applicable to the Remarketed Notes, each as of the applicable Interest Reset Date, for settlement on the Interest Reset Date, which bid shall designate the Spread proposed by the reference dealer (the “Dealer Designated Spread”) to be effective for the Interest Period commencing on such Interest Reset Date.
     (e) Provided that neither a Market Disruption Event nor a Failed Remarketing has occurred, on the second London Banking Day prior to the applicable Interest Reset Date, the following actions shall occur:
          (i) The Calculation Agent shall notify the Company of the “Final Dealer Designated Spread”, which shall be the lowest Dealer Designated Spread received by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the procedures set forth in this paragraph 6.
          (ii) The Spread shall equal, for the Interest Period commencing on such Interest Reset Date, the Final Dealer Designated Spread.
          (iii) The reference dealer providing the Final Dealer Designated Spread shall be deemed the “Final Dealer”, provided that if two or more reference dealers shall have quoted the Final Dealer Designated Spread, the Company shall determine which of the reference dealers is the Final Dealer or the Final Dealers (and in the latter case, the allocation of Remarketed Notes to be made between them).
          (iv) The Company shall notify the Trustee that the Final Dealer(s) will purchase, on the Interest Reset Date, the Remarketed Notes at a price equal to the principal amount of the Remarketed Notes, plus (except where the Interest Reset Date is also an Interest Payment Date) the amount of Accrued Interest applicable to the Remarketed Notes plus any accrued but unpaid interest on the Stated Principal Amount that has not been included in Accrued Interest in accordance with the procedures set forth in paragraph 4, each as of the applicable Interest Reset Date (such sum, the “Final Dealer Purchase Price”).
     (f) Each Holder of Remarketed Notes shall sell its Remarketed Notes to the Final Dealer(s) on the Interest Reset Date for a price equal to the percentage of the Final Dealer Purchase Price applicable to such Holder’s Remarketed Notes, and in the case of more

19


 

than one Final Dealer, according to the allocation designated by the Company under clause (e)(iii) above.
     (g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Calculation Agent determines that, on the applicable Calculation Date, (i) a Market Disruption Event has occurred or is continuing or (ii) no reference dealer has provided a firm bid in a timely manner in accordance with this paragraph 6 in a manner satisfactory to the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion (any such occurrence described in this clause (ii), a “Failed Remarketing”), the steps contemplated above shall be taken on the next Market Day on which the Calculation Agent determines that no Market Disruption Event or Failed Remarketing has occurred and is continuing. If the Calculation Agent determines that a Market Disruption Event and/or a Failed Remarketing has occurred and is continuing for at least four consecutive (I) Business Days which are also London Banking Days in the case of a Market Disruption Event (a “Continuing Market Disruption”) or (II) Market Days in the case of a Failed Remarketing (a “Continuing Failed Remarketing”), starting on the applicable Calculation Date, then (A) the Calculation Agent shall notify the Company of such determination promptly after the close of business on such fourth Business Day which is also a London Banking Day or Market Day, as applicable, and (B) the Company shall be obligated to purchase, and Holders shall be obligated to sell, those Notes that would have been otherwise deemed Remarketed Notes had such Continuing Failed Remarketing or Continuing Market Disruption not occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if with respect to a particular Interest Reset Date to which the preceding sentence applies, Electing Holders had delivered Hold Notices with respect to Notes representing less than 20% of the outstanding Stated Principal Amount of Notes (the “Hold Notice Floor”), the Company shall be obligated to purchase all Notes, and all Holders, including those Electing Holders who have delivered Hold Notices not meeting the Hold Notice Floor, shall be obligated to sell all Notes, on the relevant Interest Reset Date. The Company shall repurchase Notes pursuant to this section (g) on the applicable Interest Reset Date from the Holders thereof at a purchase price equal to the Stated Principal Amount plus (except where the Interest Reset Date is also an Interest Payment Date) Accrued Interest and any accrued but unpaid interest on the Stated Principal Amount that has not been included in Accrued Interest in accordance with the procedures set forth in paragraph 4 hereof, in each case as of the repurchase date (the “Repurchase Price”). For the avoidance of doubt, for those Notes as to which (x) Hold Notices have been delivered and (y) the Hold Notice Floor has been met or exceeded, the Spread shall equal, for the Interest Period commencing on such Interest Reset Date, the Spread in effect during the immediately preceding Interest period (except in the case of the initial Interest Reset Date, wherein the Spread shall be 8 basis points). With respect to those Notes that will be repurchased by the Company pursuant to this section (g), the Company shall give notice to the Holder that this Note will be repurchased by the Company on the applicable Interest Reset Date at the price specified above, from the Holder on such Interest Reset Date, such notice to be given no later than such second London Banking Day prior to the Interest Reset Date in the manner described below.

20


 

     (h) Unless otherwise expressly stated in this paragraph 6, each notice, bid or offer required by this paragraph 6 to be given by the reference dealers shall be given telephonically and shall be confirmed as soon as possible by fax (or such other means as the Calculation Agent may determine) to each of the Trustee, the Calculation Agent and the Company.
     7. Settlement Procedures. For as long (but only for as long) as this Note or any portion hereof is issued in the form of a Global Note, the provisions of paragraph 7(a) through 7(f) below, inclusive, shall apply with respect to this Note or such portion, as the case may be.
     (a) If, on any Interest Reset Date, the Remarketed Notes are purchased by the respective Final Dealer(s) pursuant to paragraph 6 hereof, all beneficial interests in the Remarketed Notes held by or through Agent Members (as defined below) shall be transferred to Depositary account(s) designated by such Final Dealer(s). The transfers shall be made automatically, without any action on the part of any holder or beneficial owner, by book entry through the facilities of the Depositary. Such Final Dealer(s) shall be obligated to make payment of the relevant percentage of the Final Dealer Purchase Price for the Remarketed Notes to the Depositary or its nominee, for credit to the account(s) of the Agent Member(s) by or through which beneficial interests in the Remarketed Notes are held, by the close of business on the applicable Interest Reset Date. Each such transfer shall be made against the corresponding payment, and each such payment shall be made against the corresponding transfer, in accordance with the Depositary’s Applicable Procedures. In all cases, the Company shall remain obligated to make payment of accrued and unpaid interest on this Note if such Interest Reset Date shall also be an Interest Payment Date (including Accrued Interest if such Interest Payment Date is also the Conversion Date), with interest payable on the applicable (or any prior) Interest Payment Date being payable to the Holder of this Note on the corresponding Regular Record Date.
     (b) If the Final Dealer(s) (or any of them, if more than one) fails to pay the applicable purchase price for the Remarketed Notes which it is obligated to purchase on the applicable Interest Reset Date, then a Failed Remarketing shall be deemed to have occurred, and the Company will be obligated to pay, not later than two Business Days following the applicable Interest Reset Date (such payment date the “Failed Remarketing Payment Date”), the Redemption Amount for the Remarketed Notes or, if the Hold Notice Floor is not met, the Repurchase Price for the Notes, in each case calculated as of the date of purchase, with settlement otherwise occurring as described in paragraph 7(a); provided that if the Company concludes, with the concurrence of the Calculation Agent, that any such failure was solely the result of an operational or administrative error, and the Final Dealer(s) in question makes payment of the Final Dealer Purchase Price (together with interest thereon, as determined by the Calculation Agent, to account for the delay) not later than such second Business Day, no Failed Remarketing shall be deemed to have occurred and settlement shall take place on such second Business Day as though it was the Interest Reset Date.

21


 

     (c) As used herein, (i) “Agent Member” means, at any time, any person who is a member of, or participant in, the Depositary at such time and (ii) “Applicable Procedures” means, with respect to any payment, transfer or other transaction to be effected with respect to a Global Note, through the facilities of the Depositary at any time, the policies and procedures of the Depositary applicable to such transaction, as in effect at such time.
     (d) If the Company is required to purchase the Remarketed Notes or the Notes, then, on the applicable Interest Reset Date or Failed Remarketing Payment Date, all beneficial interests in the Remarketed Notes or the Notes held by or through Agent Members shall be transferred to a Depositary account designated by the Company. The transfers shall be made automatically, without any action on the part of any Holder or beneficial owner of the Remarketed Notes or the Notes, by book entry through the facilities of the Depositary. The Company shall be obligated to make payment of the Redemption Amount for the Remarketed Notes or the Repurchase Price for the Notes to the Depositary or its nominee, for credit to the accounts of the Agent Members by or through which beneficial interests in the Remarketed Notes or the Notes are held, by the close of business on the applicable Interest Reset Date or Failed Remarketing Payment Date. Each such transfer shall be made against the corresponding payment, and each such payment shall be made against the corresponding transfer, in accordance with the Depositary’s Applicable Procedures. If the Company fails to pay the Redemption Amount for the Remarketed Notes or Repurchase Price for the Notes when such payment is due, interest will continue to accrue on the Remarketed Notes or the Notes (including on Accrued Interest) from such Interest Reset Date or Failed Remarketing Payment Date to the date the payment is made, at the rate in effect immediately prior to such Interest Reset Date or Failed Remarketing Payment Date plus one percent, and shall be payable as part of such Redemption Amount or Repurchase Price, in the same manner and for credit to the same accounts as such Redemption Amount or Repurchase Price. Whether or not the Company purchases the Remarketed Notes, the Company shall remain obligated to make payment of accrued and unpaid interest on this Note on the applicable Interest Reset Date, if it shall also be an Interest Payment Date (including Accrued Interest if such Interest Payment Date is also the Conversion Date), with interest being payable to the Holder on the corresponding Regular Record Date as provided herein.
     (e) The transactions described in paragraphs 7(a) and 7(b) above shall be executed on the applicable Interest Reset Date or Failed Remarketing Payment Date through the facilities of the Depositary in accordance with its Applicable Procedures, and the accounts of the respective Agent Members shall be debited and credited and beneficial interests in the Remarketed Notes or the Notes shall be delivered by book entry as necessary to effect the purchases and sales provided for above. Unless the Depositary’s Applicable Procedures require otherwise, such transactions shall settle, and all other payments in respect of the Notes shall be made, in immediately available funds through DTC’s Same-Day Funds Settlement System. Notwithstanding any provision hereof or of the Indenture, neither the Company, the Trustee nor the Calculation Agent, nor any agent of any such person, shall have any responsibility with respect to the

22


 

Applicable Procedures or for any payments, transfers or other transactions, or any notices or other communications, among the Depositary, its Agent Members, any other direct or indirect participants therein and any beneficial owners of a Global Note. For all purposes of this Note and the Indenture, any payment or notice to be made or given with respect to this Note by the Company or the Calculation Agent shall be deemed made or given when made or given to the Depositary or its nominee, in accordance with its Applicable Procedures.
     (f) The settlement procedures described in this paragraph 7 may be modified, notwithstanding any contrary terms of the Notes or the Indenture, to the extent required by the Depositary. In addition, notwithstanding any contrary terms of the Notes or the Indenture, the Company may modify the settlement procedures described in this paragraph 7 in order to facilitate the settlement process.
     If any Notes are issued in non-book-entry form, the Company shall modify the procedures contemplated by the provisions of paragraph 7(a) through 7(e) above, inclusive, so as to ensure that Interest Reset Date and Failed Remarketing Payment Date settlements of transactions in the Remarketed Notes or the Notes are effected in as comparable a manner as practical, provided that such modified procedures shall not adversely affect the interests of the holders of the outstanding Notes in any material respect.
     The settlement procedures contained in this paragraph 7 may be modified, regardless of any contrary terms of this Note or the Indenture, to the extent required by DTC or, if the book-entry system is no longer available for the Notes at the relevant time, to the extent required to facilitate these transactions in non-book-entry form. In addition, the Calculation Agent may modify the settlement procedures contained in this paragraph 7 in order to facilitate the settlement process.
     8. Sinking Fund. The Notes do not have the benefit of any sinking fund obligation.
     9. Defeasance. The defeasance provisions in Article Thirteen of the Indenture apply to the Notes. Pursuant to these provisions, the entire indebtedness of this Note or certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Note may be defeased at any time, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.
     10. Events of Default; Remedies. (a) If an Event of Default with respect to Notes of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
     (b) As set forth in, and subject to, the provisions of the Indenture, no Holder of this Note will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for any remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given to the Trustee

23


 

written notice of a continuing Event of Default, the Holders of not less than 25% of the outstanding Stated Principal Amount of Notes shall have made written request, and offered reasonable indemnity, to the Trustee to institute such proceeding as trustee, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in outstanding Stated Principal Amount of Notes a direction inconsistent with such request and shall have failed to institute such proceeding within 60 days; provided, however, that such limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by the Holder hereof for the enforcement of payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or any interest on this Note on or after the respective due date expressed herein.
     11. Covenants. The Notes are entitled to the benefits of the covenants of the Company set forth in Article Ten of the Indenture.
     12. Rule 144A Information. At any time when the Company is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, upon the request of a Holder of a Note or of a beneficial owner of an interest in a Global Note, the Company will promptly furnish or cause to be furnished Rule 144A Information (as defined below) to such Holder or beneficial owner, or to a prospective purchaser of a Note or a beneficial interest in a Global Note designated by such Holder or beneficial owner of such interest in order to permit compliance by such Holder or beneficial owner with Rule 144A under the Securities Act. “Rule 144A Information” shall be such information as is specified pursuant to paragraph (d)(4) of Rule 144A under the Securities Act (or any successor provision thereto), as such provision (or successor provision) may be amended from time to time.
     13. Payment. 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) and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
     14. Form; Denomination. The Notes of this series are issuable only in fully registered form without coupons in denominations of $100,000 and any multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Notes of this series are exchangeable for 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.
     15. Registration; Transfer & Exchange. (a) 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 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

Attn: Corporate Trust Administration
  Re:    Resetable Floating Rate Notes Due 2057 of American International Group, Inc. (the “Notes”)
     Reference is made to the Indenture, dated as of October 12, 2006, between American International Group, Inc. (the “Company”) and The Bank of New York, as Trustee, as supplemented (the “Indenture”). Terms used herein and defined in the Indenture or in Rule 144A or Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), are used herein as so defined.
     This certificate relates to U.S.$                     principal amount of Notes, which are evidenced by the following certificate(s) (the “Specified Securities”):
     CUSIP No(s). 026874 BL0
     CERTIFICATE No(s).                                         
     The person in whose name this certificate is executed below (the “Undersigned”) hereby certifies that (i) it is the sole beneficial owner of the Specified Securities, (ii) it is acting on behalf of all the beneficial owners of the Specified Securities and is duly authorized by them to do so or (iii) it is the Holder of a Global Note and has received a certification to the effect set forth below. Such beneficial owner or owners are referred to herein collectively as the “Owner”. If the Specified Securities are represented by a Global Note, they are held through the Depositary or an Agent Member in the name of the Undersigned, as or on behalf of the Owner. If the Specified Securities are not represented by a Global Note, they are registered in the name of the Undersigned, as or on behalf of the Owner.
     The Owner has requested that the Specified Securities be transferred to a person (the “Transferee”) who will take delivery in the form of a Restricted Note. In connection with such transfer, the Owner hereby certifies that such transfer is being effected in accordance with Rule 144A or Rule 144 under the Securities Act and all applicable securities laws of the states of the United States and other jurisdictions. Accordingly, the Owner hereby further certifies as follows:

     Payment or delivery of the Principal Amount plus the Supplemental Redemption Amount, if any, and any interest on any overdue amount thereof with respect to this Security, shall 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.
Payment at Maturity Date
     On the Maturity Date, a Holder shall receive a cash payment equal to the Principal Amount plus the Supplemental Redemption Amount, if any. If the Maturity Date is not a New York Business Day, then payment in respect of this Security will be made on the next succeeding New York Business Day, with no adjustment to such payment on account thereof.

     The “Supplemental Redemption Amount” with respect to this Security shall be denominated in United States dollars, shall be determined by the Calculation Agent and shall equal:
     (a) If the Ending Value is greater than the Starting Value:

Starting Value
     (b) If the Ending Value is equal to or less than the Starting Value, $0.
     The “Basket” means a basket of the Malaysian ringgit, the Indonesian rupiah and the South Korean won (each a “Basket Component”).
     The “Ending Value” shall equal the value of the Basket on the Valuation Date, as determined by the Calculation Agent as the sum of the products of (i) the Multiplier of each Basket Component times (ii) the then-current Exchange Rate for such Basket Component, multiplied by 100 and rounded to two decimal places.
     “Exchange Rate,” as of any date, means (i) for the Malaysian ringgit, the currency exchange rate in the interbank market quoted as the number of United States dollars for which one Malaysian ringgit can be exchanged as the inverse of (1.0 divided by) the value reported by Reuters on page ABSIRFIX01, or any substitute page thereto, at approximately 11:00 a.m. in Singapore; (ii) for the Indonesian rupiah, the currency exchange rate in the interbank market quoted as the number of United States dollars for which one Indonesian rupiah can be exchanged as the inverse of the value reported by Reuters on page ABSIRFIX01, or any substitute page thereto, at approximately 11:00 a.m. in Singapore; and (iii) for the South Korean won will be the currency exchange rate in the interbank market quoted as the number of United States dollars for which one South Korean won can be exchanged as the inverse of the value reported by Reuters on page KFTC18, or any substitute page thereto, at approximately 1:30 a.m. in New York City.
     If the currency exchange rates are not so quoted or on any substitute page thereto, then the Exchange Rates shall equal the inverse of the noon buying rate in New York for cable transfers in foreign currencies as announced by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for customs purposes (the “Noon Buying Rate”). If the Noon Buying Rate is not announced on such date, then the Exchange Rates shall be calculated on the basis of the arithmetic mean of the applicable spot quotations received by the Calculation Agent at approximately 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the relevant date for the purchase or sale for deposits in the relevant currencies by the London offices of three leading banks engaged in the interbank market (selected in the sole discretion of the Calculation Agent) (the “Reference Banks”). If fewer than three Reference Banks provide such spot quotations, then the Exchange Rates shall be calculated on the basis of the arithmetic mean of the applicable spot quotations received by the Calculation Agent at approximately 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the relevant date from two leading commercial banks in New York (selected in the sole discretion of the Calculation Agent), for the

-7-


 

purchase or sale for deposits in the relevant currencies. If these spot quotations are available from only one bank, then the Calculation Agent, in its sole discretion, shall determine which quotation is available and reasonable to be used. If no such spot quotation is available, then the Exchange Rates shall be the rate the Calculation Agent, in its sole discretion, determines to be fair and reasonable under the circumstances at approximately 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the relevant date.
     The “Multiplier” means with respect to (i) the Malaysian ringgit, 1.0857; (ii) the Indonesian rupiah, 3144.0430; and (iii) the South Korean won, 311.7636.
     “New York Business Day” means any day other than (i) a Saturday or Sunday, (ii) a day on which banking institutions generally in the City of New York are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close or (iii) day on which banks in the City of New York are not open for dealing in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits.
     The “Valuation Date” means the fifth New York Business Day immediately prior to the Maturity Date.
     All determinations made by the Calculation Agent, absent a determination of a manifest error, shall be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Company and the Holders and beneficial owners of this Security.
General
     This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company, issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of October 12, 2006 (herein called the “Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York, as trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and 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 (herein called the “Securities”), which is limited in aggregate principal amount to $130,000,000.
     The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Security or certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Security, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.
     If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture; the amount payable to the Holder of this Security upon any acceleration so provided in the Indenture, with respect to each $10 principal amount per Unit, will be equal to the sum of the $10 principal amount per Unit plus the Supplemental Redemption Amount, if any, calculated as though the date of acceleration were the Valuation Date of the Securities of this series. Payment in respect of such acceleration will be made five New York Business Days after the deemed Valuation Date.

-8-


 

     In case of default in payment of this Security, whether on the Maturity Date or upon acceleration, from and after that date this Security will bear interest, payable upon demand of the Holder, at the then-current Federal Funds Rate (determined as described below), reset daily, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, on the unpaid amount due and payable on that date in accordance with the terms of this Security to the date payment of that amount has been made or duly provided for.
     Determination of Federal Funds Rate. The Federal Funds Rate shall equal the rate, on the Federal Funds Interest Determination Date (as defined below), for U.S. dollar federal funds, displayed on Reuters or any successor service on page FEDFUNDS1 under the heading “EFFECT” or any other page as may replace page FEDFUNDS1 on that service (“Reuters Page FEDFUNDS1”). If the Federal Funds Rate cannot be determined in this manner, the following procedures will apply in determining the Federal Funds Rate:
     (a) If the rate described above is not displayed on the Reuters Page FEDFUNDS1 at 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date corresponding to such Federal Funds Interest Determination Date (unless the calculation is made earlier and the rate is available from that source at that time), then the Federal Funds Rate will be the rate, for such Federal Funds Interest Determination Date, described above as published in H.15 Daily Update, or another recognized electronic source used for displaying that rate, under the heading “Federal Funds (Effective)”.
     (b) If the rate described in (a) is not displayed on the Reuters Page FEDFUNDS1 and does not appear in H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic source by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date (unless the calculation is made earlier and the rate is available from one of those sources at that time), the Federal Funds Rate will be the arithmetic mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight, U.S. dollar federal funds arranged, before 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Federal Funds Interest Determination Date, by three leading brokers of U.S. dollar federal funds transactions in New York City selected by the Calculation Agent.
     (c) If fewer than three brokers selected by the Calculation Agent are quoting as described in (b), the Federal Funds Rate in effect for a reset date will be the Federal Funds Rate in effect for the prior reset date.
     “Federal Funds Interest Determination Date” means, in relation to a particular date, the first New York Business Day immediately preceding such date. The “Calculation Date” pertaining to any Federal Funds Interest Determination Date, as the case may be, shall be the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after such Federal Fund Interest Determination Date or, if any such day is not a New York Business Day, the next succeeding New York Business Day, and (ii) the New York Business Day immediately preceding the day on which the payment of interest will be due.
     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

-9-


 

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.

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
