Redemption Process
(Updated May 2, 2007)

AIM called for redemption of all of the debentures outstanding on December 31, 2006. The redemption price was the face amount of the debenture ($1,000 per debenture). The terms of the debentures required the Company to pay the redemption price to those persons who were the registered owners of the debentures that were outstanding on December 31, 2006. The payment of the redemption price was required to be made on May 1, 2007. No interest was required to be paid on the debentures.

AIM mailed checks on May 1, 2007 for the redemption price to each person registered in its records as the owner of a debenture that was outstanding on December 31, 2006. The check was mailed to the last address in its records for the registered owner. The registered owner of the debenture was not required to surrender the debenture or take any other action in order for his or her debenture to be redeemed on May 1, 2007.

Anyone who has not received a check for the redemption of his or her outstanding debenture should contact AIM.
