Exhibit 10(68)
AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL GROUP, INC.
AMENDED AND RESTATED 2007 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
RSU AWARD AGREEMENT
AMENDED AND RESTATED 2007 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
RSU AWARD AGREEMENT
This award agreement (this “Award Agreement”) sets forth the terms and conditions of an award
(this “Award”) of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) granted to you under the American International
Group, Inc. Amended and Restated 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).
1. The Plan. This Award is made pursuant to the Plan, the terms of which are
incorporated in this Award Agreement. Capitalized terms used in this Award Agreement that are not
defined in this Award Agreement, or in the attached Glossary of Terms, have the meanings as used or
defined in the Plan.
2. Award. The number of RSUs subject to this Award is set forth at the end of this
Award Agreement. Each RSU constitutes an unfunded and unsecured promise of AIG to deliver (or cause
to be delivered) to you, subject to the terms of this Award Agreement, one share of Common Stock
(the “Share” or the “Shares” as the context requires) (or securities or other property equal to the
Fair Market Value thereof) on the Scheduled Vesting Date as provided herein. Until such delivery,
you have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor, and no rights as a shareholder, of AIG.
THIS AWARD IS SUBJECT TO ALL TERMS, CONDITIONS AND PROVISIONS OF THE PLAN AND THIS AWARD AGREEMENT,
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE ARBITRATION AND CHOICE OF FORUM PROVISIONS SET FORTH IN
PARAGRAPH 15.
3. Vesting and Payout.
(a) Vesting. Except as provided in this Paragraph 3 and in Paragraphs 4 and 6, you
shall become vested in the RSUs on the third anniversary of the Date of Grant specified at the end
of this Award Agreement (the “Scheduled Vesting Date”). Except as provided in Paragraph 6, if your
Employment terminates for any reason prior to the Scheduled Vesting Date, your rights in respect of
all of your RSUs shall terminate, and no Shares (or securities or other property) shall be paid in
respect of such RSUs.
(b) Payout. Except as provided in this Paragraph 3 and in Paragraphs 4, 6, 8 and 9,
the Shares underlying the vested RSUs shall be paid promptly after the Scheduled Vesting Date, but
no later than the end of the calendar year in which such Scheduled Vesting Date falls. The Company
may, at its option and subject to the Plan, deliver securities or other property in lieu of all or
any portion of the Shares otherwise payable on the Scheduled Vesting Date. Such payment shall equal
the product of the number of Shares to be delivered on the Scheduled Vesting Date and the Fair
Market Value of one Share of Common Stock on the Scheduled Vesting Date. You shall be deemed the
beneficial owner of the Shares at the close of business on the Scheduled Vesting Date and shall be
entitled to any dividend or distribution that has not already been made with respect to such Shares
if the record date for such dividend or distribution is on or after the close of
business on the
Scheduled Vesting Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Scheduled Vesting Date occurs at a
time when you are considered by AIG to be one
of its “covered employees” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, then, unless the
Committee determines otherwise, payout of the Shares (or securities or other property) may be
deferred by the Company under the circumstances described in Section 409A until the earliest date
that the Company reasonably anticipates that the deduction or payment will not be limited or
eliminated.
(c) Death. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Award Agreement, if you die
prior to the Scheduled Vesting Date, and provided your rights in respect of your RSUs have not
previously terminated, the Shares (or securities or other property in lieu of all or any part
thereof) corresponding to your outstanding RSUs shall be paid to the representative of your estate
promptly after your death (but no later than 90 days after your death).
(d) Delay of Payment. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, determine to defer
payment of RSUs or permit you to elect to defer payment of RSUs, in each case in a manner that
conforms to the requirements of Section 409A(a)(4) of the Code.
4. Termination of RSUs and Non-Payment of Shares.
(a) Except as provided in Paragraphs 3(c) and 6, your rights in respect of your outstanding
RSUs shall immediately terminate, and no Shares (or securities or other property) shall be paid in
respect of such unvested RSUs, if at any time prior to the Scheduled Vesting Date your Employment
with the Company terminates for any reason, or you are otherwise no longer actively Employed by the
Company.
(b) Unless the Committee determines otherwise, and except as further provided in Paragraph 6,
your rights in respect of all of your RSUs (whether or not vested) shall immediately terminate, and
no Shares (or securities or other property) shall be paid in respect of such RSUs, if at any time
prior to the Scheduled Vesting Date:
(i) you attempt to have any dispute under this Award Agreement or the Plan resolved in
any manner that is not provided for by Paragraph 15;
(ii) any event that constitutes Cause has occurred;
(iii) you in any manner, directly or indirectly, (A) Solicit any Client to transact
business with a Competitive Enterprise or to reduce or refrain from doing any business with
the Company or (B) interfere with or damage (or attempt to interfere with or damage) any
relationship between the Company and any such Client or (C) Solicit any person who is an
employee of the Company to resign from the Company or to apply for or accept employment
with any Competitive Enterprise; or
(iv) you fail to certify to AIG, in accordance with procedures established by the
Committee, with respect to the Scheduled Vesting Date that you have complied, or the
Committee determines that you have failed as of the Scheduled Vesting Date to comply, with
all of the terms and
-2-
conditions of this Award Agreement. By accepting the delivery of
Shares (or
securities or other property) under this Award Agreement, you shall be deemed to have
represented and certified at such time that you have complied with all the terms and
conditions of this Award Agreement.
(c) Unless the Committee determines otherwise, if the Scheduled Vesting Date in respect of any
of your outstanding RSUs occurs, and Shares (or securities or other property) with respect to such
outstanding RSUs would be payable under the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement, except
that you have not complied with the conditions or your obligations under Paragraph 4(b)(iv), all of
your rights with respect to your outstanding RSUs shall terminate no later than the Scheduled
Vesting Date for such Shares.
5. Repayment. If, following the delivery of Shares (or securities or other property),
the Committee determines that all terms and conditions of this Award Agreement in respect of such
delivery were not satisfied, the Company shall be entitled to receive, and you shall be obligated
to pay the Company immediately upon demand therefor, the Fair Market Value of the Shares
(determined as of the Scheduled Vesting Date) and the amount of securities or other property (to
the extent that any securities or other property was delivered in lieu of Shares) delivered with
respect to the Scheduled Vesting Date, without reduction for any Shares (or securities or other
property) applied to satisfy withholding tax or other obligations in respect of such Shares (or
securities or other property).
6. Disability and Retirement.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Award Agreement, but subject to Paragraph
6(b):
(i) if you become subject to Disability or terminate Employment by means of retirement

apply; and
(ii) if you terminate employment by means of early retirement at or after age 55 but before
reaching age 65, with the approval of, and subject to any terms and conditions prescribed by, the
Committee in its sole discretion (“Early Retire”), the condition set forth in Paragraph 4(a) shall
be waived with respect to a fraction of your then outstanding unvested RSUs, the numerator of which
fraction shall be the number of whole months between the Date of Grant and the date of your Early
Retirement, and the denominator of which fraction shall be the number of whole months between the
Date of Grant and the Scheduled Vesting Date (as a result of which such fraction of any such then
unvested outstanding RSUs shall vest, and the Shares (or securities or other property)
corresponding to such fraction of the RSUs shall be paid to you promptly after the date you Early
Retire, but no
-3-
later than the end of the calendar year in which such date falls, but all other
unvested outstanding RSUs shall immediately terminate), but all other conditions of this
Award Agreement shall continue to apply.
(b) Without limiting the application of Paragraph 4(b) or Paragraph 4(c), your rights in
respect of any outstanding RSUs that become vested solely by reason of Paragraph 6(a) shall
terminate, and no Shares (or securities or other property) shall be paid in respect of such
outstanding RSUs if, following your becoming subject to Disability, Retiring or Early Retiring, you
(i) form, or acquire a 5% or greater equity ownership, voting or profit participation interest in,
any Competitive Enterprise or (ii) associate in any capacity (including, but not limited to,

reimburse the Company for advances made on your behalf to satisfy withholding and other tax
obligations in connection with this Award); provided that if such Consent has not been so effected
or obtained as of the latest date provided by this Award Agreement for the delivery of Shares (or
securities or other property) in respect of any RSUs and further delay of delivery is not permitted
in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A, such RSUs will be forfeited and terminate
notwithstanding any prior vesting.
(c) AIG may affix to Certificates representing Shares issued pursuant to this Award Agreement
any legend that the Committee determines to be necessary or advisable (including to reflect any

authority to give effect to the intent of this Paragraph 9(a). To the extent necessary to give
effect to this intent, in the case of any conflict or potential inconsistency between the provisions
