5. | Amendment to Section 1.4. Section 1.4 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: |
“Company Election to Replace Certain Shares; Company Election to Reserve and Repurchase
Certain Shares.
(a) In the event that the Company has sold, or has binding commitments to sell on or prior
to the Effective Date, Permitted Replacement Shares, the Company may elect by written
notice to each Purchaser to reduce the Total Purchase Amount by all or any portion of the
number of such Permitted Replacement Shares as the Company may determine in its discretion;
provided, that the Total Purchase Amount shall not be less than 190,000,000. No
election by the Company under this Section 1.4(a) shall be effective unless
received by each Purchaser on or prior to the date of notice of the time fixed for the
hearing to approve the Confirmation Order under Bankruptcy Rule 2002. Any election by the
Company under this Section 1.4(a) shall be binding and irrevocable.
(b) If the Plan as confirmed provides for the commencement on or about the Effective Date
of a broadly distributed public offering of Permitted Replacement Shares on terms and
conditions and with one or more underwriters and a plan of distribution, the Company may
elect by written notice to each Purchaser on or prior to the date of notice of the time
fixed for the hearing to approve the Confirmation Order under Bankruptcy Rule 2002 to
specify a number of Shares to be purchased by the Purchasers at Closing as Shares to be
subject to repurchase after Closing pursuant to this Section 1.4(b) (the
“Reserved Shares”); provided, that the excess of (i) its GGP Pro Rata Share
of the Total Purchase Amount minus (ii) the Reserved Shares shall not be less than its GGP
Pro Rata Share of 190,000,000. If the Company elects to designate any Reserved Shares, the
Company shall pay to each Purchaser in cash on the Effective Date an amount equal to $0.25
per Reserved Share. Upon payment of such amount, the Company shall thereafter have the
right to elect by written notice to each Purchaser (a “Repurchase Notice”) on or
prior to the 25th day after the Effective Date (or, if not a Business Day, the
next Business Day) to repurchase from each Purchaser a number of Shares equal to such
Purchaser’s GGP Pro Rata Share of the greater of (x) the aggregate amount of Permitted
Replacement Capital Shares sold by the Company in such public offering and (y) the Reserved
Shares. The purchase price for any repurchased Shares shall be $10.00 per Share, payable
in cash in immediately available funds against delivery of the repurchased Reserved Shares
2
on a settlement date determined by the Company and each Purchaser and not later than the
date that is 30 days after the Effective Date. Any Repurchase Notice under this Section
1.4(b) shall, when taken together with this Agreement, constitute a binding offer and
acceptance and be irrevocable.”
6. | Amendments to Section 2.1(a). Section 2.1(a) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: |
“On or prior to the Effective Date, the Company shall incorporate GGO with issued and
outstanding capital stock consisting of at least the GGO Common Share Amount of shares of
common stock (the “GGO Common Stock”), designate an employee of the Company
familiar with the Identified Assets and reasonably acceptable to each Purchaser to serve as
a representative of GGO (the “GGO Representative”) and shall contribute to GGO
(directly or indirectly) the assets (and/or equity interests related thereto) set forth in
Exhibit E hereto and have GGO assume directly or indirectly the associated
liabilities (the “Identified Assets”); provided, however, that to
the extent the Company is prohibited by Law from contributing one or more of the Identified
Assets to GGO or the contribution thereof would breach or give rise to a default under any
Contract, agreement or instrument that would, in the good faith judgment of the Company in
consultation with the GGO Representative, impair in any material respect the value of the
relevant Identified Asset or give rise to additional liability (other than liability that
would not, in the aggregate, be material) on the part of GGO or the Company or a Subsidiary
of the Company, the Company shall (i) to the extent not prohibited by Law or would not give
rise to such a default, take such action or cause to be taken such other actions in order
to place GGO, insofar as reasonably possible, in the same economic position as if such
Identified Asset had been transferred as contemplated hereby and so that, insofar as
reasonably possible, substantially all the benefits and burdens (including all obligations
thereunder but excluding any obligations that arise out of the transfer of the Identified
Asset to the extent included in Permitted Claims) relating to such Identified Asset,
including possession, use, risk of loss, potential for gain and control of such Identified
Asset, are to inure from and after the Closing to GGO (provided that as soon as a
consent for the contribution of an Identified Asset is obtained or the contractual
impediment is removed or no longer applies, the applicable Identified Asset shall be
promptly contributed to GGO), or (ii) to the extent the actions contemplated by clause (i)
are not possible without resulting in a material and adverse effect on the Company and its
Subsidiaries (as reasonably
determined by the Company in consultation with the GGO Representative), contribute other
assets, with the consent of each Purchaser (which such Purchaser shall not unreasonably
withhold, condition or delay), having an economically equivalent value and related
financial impact on the Company (in each case, as reasonably agreed by each Purchaser and
the Company in consultation with the GGO Representative) to the Identified Asset not so
contributed.”

intention of the parties that office and mall assets currently producing any material
amount of income at the CMPC (including any associated right of access to parking spaces)
will be retained by the Company and the remaining non-income producing assets at the CMPC
will be transferred to GGO (including rights to develop and/or redevelop (as appropriate)
the remainder of the CMPC).”
8. | Amendments to Section 5.2. Section 5.2 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: |
“Warrants, New Warrants and GGO Warrants. Within one Business Day of the date of
the entry of the Approval Order, the Company and the warrant agent shall execute and
deliver the warrant and registration rights agreement in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit G (with only such changes thereto as may be reasonably requested by the
warrant agent and reasonably approved by each Purchaser) (the “Warrant Agreement”)
pursuant to which there will be issued to PSCM 17,142,857 warrants (the “Warrants”)
each of which, when issued, delivered and vested in accordance with the terms of the
Warrant Agreement, will entitle the holder to purchase one (1) share of Common Stock at an
initial price of $15.00 per share subject to adjustment as provided in the Warrant
Agreement. The Warrant Agreement shall provide that the Warrants shall vest in accordance
with Section 2.2(b) and Schedule A of the Warrant Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt,
Warrants that have not vested may not be exercised. The Plan shall provide that upon the
Effective Date, the Warrants, regardless of whether or not vested, shall be cancelled for
no consideration. The Plan shall also provide that there shall be issued to each Purchaser
pro rata in accordance with the number of shares of New Common Stock or GGO Common Stock,
as the case may be, purchased, an aggregate of (i) 17,142,857 fully vested warrants (the
“New Warrants”) each of which entitles the holder to purchase one (1) share of New
Common Stock at an initial purchase price of $10.50 per share subject to adjustment as
provided in the underlying warrant agreement and (ii) 20,000,000 fully vested warrants (the
“GGO Warrants”) each of which entitles the holder to purchase one (1) share of GGO
Common Stock at a price of $5.00 per share subject to adjustment as provided in the
underlying warrant agreement, each in accordance with the terms set forth in a warrant and
registration rights agreement
with terms substantially similar to the terms set forth in the Warrant Agreement, except
that the expiration date for each New Warrant and GGO Warrant shall be the seventh year
anniversary of the date on which such warrants are issued. PSCM, in its sole discretion,
may designate that some or all of the New Warrants or GGO Warrants be issued in the name
of, and delivered to, any member of the Purchaser Group in accordance with and subject to
the Designation Conditions.”

“(e) Newco (as defined in Exhibit B) will be formed by the Operating

this Agreement, including Exhibit B and Capital Raising Activities
permitted pursuant to this Agreement. Prior to the Closing, Newco will not engage
in any business activity, nor conduct its operations, other than as contemplated
by this Agreement (which, for greater certainty, shall include Capital Raising
Activities permitted pursuant to this Agreement).”
11. | Amendments to Section 5.16(d). Section 5.16(d) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: |
“(d) It is the intention of the parties that any Reserve should not alter the
intended allocation of value between GGO and the Company as Claims are resolved
over time. Accordingly, the Plan shall provide that, if a GGO Promissory Note is
required to be issued at Closing and there is a Reserve Surplus Amount as of the
end of any fiscal quarter prior to the maturity of the GGO Promissory Note, then
the principal amount of the GGO Promissory Note shall be reduced, but not below
zero, by (i) if and to the extent that such Reserve Surplus Amount as of such date
is less than or equal to the Net Debt Surplus Amount, 80% of the Reserve Surplus
Amount, and otherwise (ii) 100% of an amount equal to the Reserve Surplus Amount;
provided, however, that because this calculation may be undertaken on a periodic
basis, for purposes of clauses (i) and (ii), no portion of the Reserve Surplus
Amount shall be utilized to reduce the amount of the GGO Promissory Note if it has
been previously utilized for such purpose. In the event that any party requests
an equitable adjustment to this formula, the other parties shall consider the
request in good faith.”
12. | Amendment to Section 6.4. Section 6.4 of the Agreement is hereby amended by inserting at the end thereof the following: |
“The Plan shall provide that in addition to the covenants provided in the Non-Control
Agreement, at the time of an underwritten offering of equity or convertible securities by

other members of the Purchaser Group will enter into a customary ‘lock-up’ agreement with
respect to third-party sales of New Common Stock for a period of time not to exceed 120
days to the extent
5
reasonably requested by the managing underwriter in connection with such
offering.”
13. | Amendments to Article VI. Article VI of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding at the end thereof the following new sections: |
“SECTION 6.8. [Intentionally Omitted.]”
“SECTION 6.9. Additional Backstops.
(a) The Company may, at its option, include in the Plan an offering (the “GGP Backstop
Rights Offering”) to its then-existing holders of Common Stock of rights to purchase New Common
Stock on the Effective Date in an amount sufficient to yield to the Company aggregate net proceeds
on the Effective Date of up to $500,000,000 or such lesser amount as the Company may determine (the
“GGP Backstop Rights Offering Amount”). In connection with the GGP Backstop Rights
Offering:
(i) Each Purchaser and the Brookfield Investor (together with the Purchaser, the
“Backstop Investors”) and the Company shall appoint a mutually-acceptable and
internationally-recognized investment bank to act as bookrunning dealer-manager for the GGP
Backstop Rights Offering (the “Dealer Manager”) pursuant to such arrangements as
they may mutually agree;
(ii) the Dealer Manager will, no later than the fifth business day in advance of the
commencement of the solicitation of votes on the Plan and offering of rights in the GGP
Backstop Rights Offering (which shall not be longer than 60 days), recommend in writing to
the Backstop Investors and the Company the number of shares of New Common Stock that may be
purchased for each share of Common Stock , the subscription price of such purchase and the
other terms for the rights offering that the Dealer Manager determines are reasonably
likely to yield committed proceeds to the Company at the Effective Date equal to the GGP
Backstop Rights Offering Amount (it being understood that the Dealer Manager will have no
liability if it is later determined that its good faith determination was erroneous);
(iii) the Backstop Investors agree, severally but not jointly and severally, to
subscribe, or cause one or more designees to subscribe, for New Common Stock on a pro rata
basis to the extent rights are declined by holders of Common Stock, subject to the
subscription rights among the Backstop Investors set forth in clause (iv);
(iv) the Backstop Investors will have subscription rights in any such offering
allowing them to maintain their respective proportionate pro forma New Common
Stock-equivalent interests on a Fully Diluted Basis with the effect that the Backstop
Investors will be assured of the ability to acquire such number of
6
shares of New Common
Stock as would have been available to them pursuant to Section 5.9 had the GGP
Backstop Rights Offering been made after the Closing;
(v) the Backstop Investors will receive aggregate compensation in the form of New
Common Stock (whether or not the backstop commitments are utilized) with a value equal to
three percent (3%) of the GGP Backstop Rights Offering Amount; and
(vi) the amount of New Common Stock to be purchased pursuant to the GGP Backstop
Rights Offering will be subject to reduction to the extent that either (A) the Company
Board determines in its business judgment after consultation with the Backstop Investors
that it has sufficient liquidity and working capital available to it in light of
circumstances at the time and the costs and benefits to the Company of consummation of the
GGP Backstop Rights Offering or (B) the Backstop Investors have agreed that they will
provide to the Company, in lieu of the GGP Backstop Rights Offering the Bridge Securities
contemplated in clause (b) below.
(b) The Company shall give each Backstop Investor written notice of its estimate of the amount
the Backstop Investors will be required to fund pursuant to Section 6.9(a) no later than
six (6) Business Days prior to the Closing Date. If each Backstop Investor agrees, the Backstop
Investors shall have two (2) Business Days from the date of receipt of such notice to notify the
Company in writing that they intend to elect to purchase from the Company in lieu of all or part of
the proceeds to be provided by the GGP Backstop Rights Offering its pro rata portion of senior
subordinated unsecured notes and/or preferred stock instruments (at the election of the Backstop
Investors) on market terms except as provided below (the “Bridge Securities”). The Bridge
Securities would have a final maturity date, in the case of a note, and a mandatory redemption
date, in the case of preferred stock, on the 270th day after the Effective Date, would not require
any mandatory interim cash distributions except as contemplated in (i) below, and would yield to
the Company on the Closing Date cash proceeds (net of OID) of at least the proceeds from the GGP
Backstop Rights Offering that such Bridge Securities are intended to replace. The Bridge
Securities would be subordinated in right of payment to any New Debt, would have market coupon and
fees, would allow for any interest due prior to maturity to be “paid in kind” (rather than paid in
cash) at the election of the Company, would be prepayable, without any prepayment penalty or
prepayment premium, on a pro rata basis at any time, and would otherwise be on market terms
(determined such that fair value of the Bridge Securities as of the Effective Date is equal to par
minus OID).
If the GGP Backstop Rights Offering is completed or the Bridge Securities are issued:
(i) unless the Backstop Investors otherwise agree, the Bridge Securities shall be
subject to mandatory prepayment on a pro rata basis out of the
7
proceeds of any equity or
debt securities offered or sold by the Company at any time the Bridge Securities are
outstanding (other than the New Common Stock sold to the Backstop Investors, any New Common
Stock sold in the GGP Backstop Rights Offering and the New Debt); and
(ii) if the Bridge Securities are issued and not repaid on or before the date that is
thirty (30) days following the Effective Date, the Company shall conduct a rights offering
in an amount equal to the outstanding amount due with respect to the Bridge Securities and
with a pro rata backstop by each applicable Backstop Investor on substantially the same
procedure and terms provided in clause (a) above, with such rights offering to have a
subscription period of not more than 30 days that ends no later than the 10th day prior to
the final maturity date or mandatory redemption of the Bridge Securities.
(c) If the Company requests the Initial Investors, in writing, at any time prior to fifteen
(15) days before the commencement of solicitation of acceptances of the Plan, each Initial Investor
agrees that it shall, severally but not jointly and severally, provide or cause a designee to
provide its pro rata share of a backstop for new bonds, loans or preferred stock (as determined by
the Initial Investor) in an aggregate amount equal to $1,500,000,000 less the Reinstated Amounts,
at a market rate and market commitment fees, and otherwise on terms and conditions to be mutually
agreed among the Initial Investors and the Company. The new bonds, loans or preferred stock would
require no mandatory interim cash principal payments prior to the third anniversary of issuance
(unless funded from committed junior indebtedness or junior preferred stock), and would yield
proceeds to the Company on the Closing Date net of OID of at least $1,500,000,000 less the
Reinstated Amounts. Any Initial Investor may at any time designate in writing one or more
financial institutions with a corporate investment grade credit rating (from S&P or Xxxxx’x) to
make a substantially similar undertaking as that provided herein and, upon the receipt of such an
undertaking by the Company in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, such
Initial Investor shall be released from its obligations under its applicable Investment Agreement.
(d) For the purposes of Section 6.9(a) and Section 6.9(b), the “pro rata
share” or “pro rata basis” of each Backstop Investor shall be determined in accordance with the
maximum number of shares of New Common Stock each Backstop Investor has committed to purchase at
Closing pursuant to the Brookfield Agreement or this Agreement, as applicable, as of the date
hereof, in relation to the aggregate maximum number of shares of New Common Stock all Backstop
Investors have committed to purchase at Closing pursuant to the Brookfield Agreement or this
Agreement, as applicable, as of the date hereof. For the purposes of Section 6.9(c), the
“pro rata share”
or “pro rata basis” of each Initial Investor shall be determined in accordance with the maximum
number of shares of New Common Stock each Initial Investor has committed to purchase at Closing
pursuant to its Investment Agreement as of the date hereof, but excluding any shares of New Common
Stock the Backstop Investors have committed to purchase pursuant to this Section 6.9.”

33. | Amendment of Exhibit A. Exhibit A to the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as set forth in Exhibit C to this Amendment. | |

37. | Amendment to Section 1.4. Section 1.4 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: |
“Company Election to Replace Certain Shares; Company Election to Reserve and Repurchase
Certain Shares.
(a) In the event that the Company has sold, or has binding commitments to sell on or prior
to the Effective Date, Permitted Replacement Shares, the Company may elect by written
notice to each Purchaser to reduce the Total Purchase Amount by all or any portion of the
number of such Permitted Replacement Shares as the Company may determine in its discretion;
provided, that the Total Purchase Amount shall not be less than 190,000,000. No
election by the Company under this Section 1.4(a) shall be effective unless
received by each Purchaser on or prior to the date of notice of the time fixed for the
hearing to approve the Confirmation Order under Bankruptcy Rule 2002. Any election by the
Company under this Section 1.4(a) shall be binding and irrevocable.
(b) If the Plan as confirmed provides for the commencement on or about the Effective Date
of a broadly distributed public offering of Permitted Replacement Shares on terms and
conditions and with one or more underwriters and a plan of distribution, the Company may
elect by written notice to each Purchaser on or prior to the date of notice of the time
fixed for the hearing to approve the Confirmation Order under Bankruptcy Rule 2002 to
specify a number of Shares to be purchased by the Purchasers at Closing as Shares to be
subject to repurchase after Closing pursuant to this Section 1.4(b) (the
“Reserved Shares”); provided, that the excess of (i) its GGP Pro Rata Share
of the Total Purchase Amount minus (ii) the Reserved Shares shall not be less than its GGP
Pro Rata Share of 190,000,000. If the Company elects to designate any Reserved Shares, the
Company shall pay to each Purchaser in cash on the Effective Date an amount equal to $0.25
per Reserved Share. Upon payment of such amount, the Company shall thereafter have the
right to elect by written notice to each Purchaser (a “Repurchase Notice”) on or
prior to the 25th day after the Effective Date (or, if not a Business Day, the next
Business Day) to repurchase from each Purchaser a number of Shares equal to such
Purchaser’s GGP Pro Rata Share of the greater of (x) the aggregate amount of Permitted
Replacement Capital Shares sold by the Company in such public offering and (y) the Reserved
Shares. The purchase price for any repurchased Shares shall be $10.00 per Share, payable
in cash in immediately available funds against delivery of the repurchased Reserved Shares
on a settlement date determined by the Company and each Purchaser and not later than the
date that is 30 days after the Effective Date. Any Repurchase Notice under this Section
1.4(b) shall, when taken together with this Agreement, constitute a binding offer and
acceptance and be irrevocable.”
38. | Amendments to Section 2.1(a). Section 2.1(a) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: |
“On or prior to the Effective Date, the Company shall incorporate GGO with issued and
outstanding capital stock consisting of at least the GGO Common Share Amount of shares
of common stock (the “GGO Common Stock”), designate an employee of the Company
familiar with the Identified Assets and reasonably acceptable to the other Initial
Investors to serve as a representative of GGO (the “GGO Representative”) and
shall contribute to GGO (directly or
2
indirectly) the assets (and/or equity interests related thereto) set forth in
Exhibit E hereto and have GGO assume directly or indirectly the associated
liabilities (the “Identified Assets”); provided, however, that
to the extent the Company is prohibited by Law from contributing one or more of the
Identified Assets to GGO or the contribution thereof would breach or give rise to a
default under any Contract, agreement or instrument that would, in the good faith
judgment of the Company in consultation with the GGO Representative, impair in any
material respect the value of the relevant Identified Asset or give rise to additional
liability (other than liability that would not, in the aggregate, be material) on the
part of GGO or the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, the Company shall (i) to the
extent not prohibited by Law or would not give rise to such a default, take such action
or cause to be taken such other actions in order to place GGO, insofar as reasonably
possible, in the same economic position as if such Identified Asset had been
transferred as contemplated hereby and so that, insofar as reasonably possible,
substantially all the benefits and burdens (including all obligations thereunder but
excluding any obligations that arise out of the transfer of the Identified Asset to the
extent included in Permitted Claims) relating to such Identified Asset, including
possession, use, risk of loss, potential for gain and control of such Identified Asset,
are to inure from and after the Closing to GGO (provided that as soon as a
consent for the contribution of an Identified Asset is obtained or the contractual
impediment is removed or no longer applies, the applicable Identified Asset shall be
promptly contributed to GGO), or (ii) to the extent the actions contemplated by clause
(i) are not possible without resulting in a material and adverse effect on the Company
and its Subsidiaries (as reasonably determined by the Company in consultation with the
GGO Representative), contribute other assets, with the separate consent of each
Purchaser (which such Purchaser shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay),
having an economically equivalent value and related financial impact on the Company (in
each case, as reasonably agreed by each Purchaser and the Company in consultation with
the GGO Representative) to the Identified Asset not so contributed.”
39. | Amendment to Section 2.1(e). The first sentence of Section 2.1(e) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: |
“With respect to the Columbia Master Planned Community (the “CMPC”), it is the
intention of the parties that office and mall assets currently producing any material

at the CMPC will be transferred to GGO (including rights to develop and/or redevelop
(as appropriate) the remainder of the CMPC).”
40. | Amendments to Section 5.2. Section 5.2 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: |
3
“Warrants, New Warrants and GGO Warrants. Within one Business Day of the date of
the entry of the Approval Order, the Company and the warrant agent shall execute and
deliver the warrant and registration rights agreement in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit G (with only such changes thereto as may be reasonably requested by the
warrant agent and reasonably approved by each Purchaser) (the “Warrant Agreement”)
pursuant to which there will be issued to each Purchaser its GGP Pro Rata Share of
42,857,143 warrants (the “Warrants”) each of which, when issued, delivered and
vested in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement, will entitle the holder to
purchase one (1) share of Common Stock at an initial price of $15.00 per share subject to
adjustment as provided in the Warrant Agreement. The Warrant Agreement shall provide that
the Warrants shall vest in accordance with Section 2.2(b) and Schedule A of the Warrant
Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Warrants that have not vested may not be exercised.
The Plan shall provide that upon the Effective Date, the Warrants, regardless of whether
or not vested, shall be cancelled for no consideration. The Plan shall also provide that
there shall be issued to each Purchaser pro rata in accordance with the number of shares of
New Common Stock or GGO Common Stock, as the case may be, purchased, an aggregate of (i)
42,857,143 fully vested warrants (the “New Warrants”) each of which entitles the
holder to purchase one (1) share of New Common Stock at an initial purchase price of $10.50
per share subject to adjustment as provided in the underlying warrant agreement and (ii)
20,000,000 fully vested warrants (the “GGO Warrants”) each of which entitles the
holder to purchase one (1) share of GGO Common Stock at a price of $5.00 per share subject
to adjustment as provided in the underlying warrant agreement, each in accordance with the
terms set forth in a warrant and registration rights agreement with terms substantially
similar to the terms set forth in the Warrant Agreement, except that the expiration date
for each New Warrant and GGO Warrant shall be the seventh year anniversary of the date on
which such warrants are issued.”
41. | Amendment to Section 5.9(a)(i). The third sentence of Section 5.9(a)(i) of the Agreement is hereby amended to replace “Section 5.9(b)” therein with “Section 5.9(a)(ii)”. |
42. | Amendments to Section 5.14. Section 5.14 of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding at the end thereof the following new paragraph (e): |
“(e) Newco (as defined in Exhibit B) will be formed by the Operating
Partnership solely for the purpose of engaging in the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement, including Exhibit B and Capital Raising Activities
permitted pursuant to this Agreement. Prior to the Closing, Newco will not engage
in any business activity, nor conduct its operations, other than as contemplated
by this Agreement (which, for greater certainty, shall include Capital Raising
Activities permitted pursuant to this Agreement).”
4
43. | Amendments to Section 5.16(d). Section 5.16(d) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: |
“(d) It is the intention of the parties that any Reserve should not alter the
intended allocation of value between GGO and the Company as Claims are resolved
over time. Accordingly, the Plan shall provide that, if a GGO Promissory Note is
required to be issued at Closing and there is a Reserve Surplus Amount as of the
end of any fiscal quarter prior to the maturity of the GGO Promissory Note, then
the principal amount of the GGO Promissory Note shall be reduced, but not below
zero, by (i) if and to the extent that such Reserve Surplus Amount as of such date
is less than or equal to the Net Debt Surplus Amount, 80% of the Reserve Surplus
Amount, and otherwise (ii) 100% of an amount equal to the Reserve Surplus Amount;
provided, however, that because this calculation may be undertaken on a periodic
basis, for purposes of clauses (i) and (ii), no portion of the Reserve Surplus
Amount shall be utilized to reduce the amount of the GGO Promissory Note if it has
been previously utilized for such purpose. In the event that any party requests
an equitable adjustment to this formula, the other parties shall consider the
request in good faith.”
44. | Amendment to Section 6.4. Section 6.4 of the Agreement is hereby amended by inserting at the end thereof the following: |
“The Plan shall provide that in addition to the covenants provided in the Non-Control
Agreement, at the time of an underwritten offering of equity or convertible securities by
the Company on or prior to the 30th day after the Effective Date, to the extent reasonably
requested in connection with such offering by UBS or any other managing underwriter
selected by the Company, each Purchaser and the other members of the Purchaser Group will
covenant and agree that it does not currently intend to, and will not, sell, transfer or
dispose of (each, a “Transfer”) any Shares for a period of time not to exceed 120
days from the date of completion of the offering without the consent of the representatives
of such underwriter; provided, however, that a Purchaser or member of its Purchaser
Group may Transfer its Shares in such amounts, and at such times, as Fairholme, as such
Purchaser’s or Purchaser Group members’ manager, determines after the Closing Date to be in
such Purchaser’s or Purchaser Group members’ best interests in light of its then current
circumstances and the laws and regulations applicable to it as a management investment
company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, with a policy of
qualifying as a “regulated investment company” as defined in Subchapter M of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.”
45. | Amendments to Article VI. Article VI of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding at the end thereof the following new sections: |
“SECTION 6.8. [Intentionally Omitted.]”
5
“SECTION 6.9. Additional Backstop.
(a) If the Company requests the Initial Investors, in writing, at any time prior to fifteen
(15) days before the commencement of solicitation of acceptances of the Plan, each Initial Investor
agrees that it shall, severally but not jointly and severally, provide or cause a designee to
provide its pro rata share of a backstop for new bonds, loans or preferred stock (as determined by
the Initial Investor) in an aggregate amount equal to $1,500,000,000 less the Reinstated Amounts,
at a market rate and market commitment fees, and otherwise on terms and conditions to be mutually
agreed among the Initial Investors and the Company. The new bonds, loans or preferred stock would
require no mandatory interim cash principal payments prior to the third anniversary of issuance
(unless funded from committed junior indebtedness or junior preferred stock), and would yield
proceeds to the Company on the Closing Date net of OID of at least $1,500,000,000 less the
Reinstated Amounts. Any Initial Investor may at any time designate in writing one or more
financial institutions with a corporate investment grade credit rating (from S&P or Xxxxx’x) to
make a substantially similar undertaking as that provided herein and, upon the receipt of such an
undertaking by the Company in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, such
Initial Investor shall be released from its obligations under its applicable Investment Agreement.
(b) For the purposes of Section 6.9(a), the “pro rata share” or “pro rata basis” of
each Initial Investor shall be determined in accordance with the maximum number of shares of New
Common Stock each Initial Investor has committed to purchase at Closing pursuant to its Investment
Agreement as of the date hereof, but excluding any shares of New Common Stock the Brookfield
Investor or the Pershing Purchasers have committed to purchase pursuant to Section 6.9 of the other
Investment Agreements.”
46. | Amendment to Section 7.1(l). The first sentence of Section 7.1(l) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: |
“Registration Rights. The Company shall have filed with the SEC and the SEC shall
have declared effective, as of Closing, to the extent permitted by applicable SEC rules, a

terms of the Warrant Agreement, will entitle the holder to purchase one (1) share of Common
Stock at an initial price of $15.00 per share subject to adjustment as provided in the
Warrant Agreement. The Warrant Agreement shall provide that the Warrants shall vest in
accordance with Section 2.2(b) and Schedule A of the Warrant Agreement. For the
avoidance of doubt, Warrants that have not vested may not be exercised. The Plan shall
provide that upon the Effective Date, the Warrants, regardless of whether or not vested,
shall be cancelled for no consideration. The Plan shall also provide that there shall be
issued to Purchaser (i) 60,000,000 fully vested warrants (the “New Warrants”) each
of which entitles the holder to purchase one (1) share of New Common Stock at an initial
purchase price of $10.50 per share subject to adjustment as provided in the underlying
warrant agreement and (ii) 40,000,000 fully vested warrants (the “GGO Warrants”)

of $5.00 per share subject to adjustment as provided in the underlying warrant agreement,
each in accordance with the terms set forth in a warrant and registration rights agreement
with terms substantially similar to the terms set forth in the Warrant Agreement, except
that the expiration date for each New Warrant and GGO Warrant shall be the seventh year
anniversary of the date on which such warrants are issued. Purchaser, in its sole
discretion, may designate that some or all of the New Warrants or GGO Warrants be issued in the name of,
and delivered to, one or

more Brookfield Consortium Members in accordance with and subject to the Designation Conditions.”

“(e) Newco (as defined in Exhibit B) will be formed by the Operating
Partnership solely for the purpose of engaging in the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement, including Exhibit B and Capital Raising Activities
permitted pursuant to this Agreement. Prior to the Closing, Newco will not engage
in any business activity, nor conduct its operations, other than as contemplated

“(d) It is the intention of the parties that any Reserve should not alter the
intended allocation of value between GGO and the Company as Claims are resolved
over time. Accordingly, the Plan shall provide that, if a GGO Promissory Note is
required to be issued at Closing and there is a Reserve Surplus Amount as of the
end of any fiscal quarter prior to the maturity of the GGO Promissory Note, then
the principal amount of the GGO Promissory Note shall be reduced, but not below
zero, by (i) if and to the extent that such Reserve Surplus Amount as of such date
is less than or equal to the Net Debt Surplus Amount, 80% of the Reserve Surplus
Amount, and otherwise (ii) 100% of an amount equal to the Reserve Surplus Amount;
provided, however, that because this calculation may be undertaken on a periodic
basis, for purposes of clauses (i) and (ii), no portion of the Reserve Surplus
Amount shall be utilized to reduce the amount of the GGO Promissory Note if it has
been previously utilized for such purpose. In the event that any party requests
an equitable adjustment to this formula, the other parties shall consider the
request in good faith.”

77. | Amendments to Article VI. Article VI of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding at the end thereof the following new Section 6.9: |
“SECTION 6.9. Additional Backstops.
(a) The Company may, at its option, include in the Plan an offering (the “GGP
Backstop Rights Offering”) to its then-existing holders of Common Stock of rights to
purchase New Common Stock on the Effective Date in an amount sufficient to yield to the
Company aggregate net proceeds on the Effective Date of up to $500,000,000 or such lesser
amount as the Company may determine (the “GGP Backstop Rights Offering Amount”).
In connection with the GGP Backstop Rights Offering:
(i) Purchaser and the Pershing Investors (together with the Purchaser, the
“Backstop Investors”) and the Company shall appoint a mutually-acceptable and
internationally-recognized investment bank to act as bookrunning dealer-manager for the GGP
Backstop Rights Offering (the “Dealer Manager”) pursuant to such arrangements as
they may mutually agree;
(ii) the Dealer Manager will, no later than the fifth business day in advance of the
commencement of the solicitation of votes on the Plan and offering of rights in the GGP
Backstop Rights Offering (which shall not be longer than 60 days), recommend in writing to
the Backstop Investors and the Company the number of shares of New Common Stock that may be
purchased for each share of Common Stock, the subscription price of such purchase and the
other terms for the rights offering that the Dealer Manager determines are reasonably
likely to yield committed proceeds to the Company at the Effective Date equal to the GGP
Backstop Rights Offering Amount (it being understood that the Dealer Manager will have no
liability if it is later determined that its good faith determination was erroneous);
(iii) the Backstop Investors agree, severally but not jointly and severally, to
subscribe, or cause one or more designees to subscribe, for New Common Stock on a pro rata
basis to the extent rights are declined by holders of Common Stock, subject to the
subscription rights among the Backstop Investors set forth in clause (iv);
6
(iv) the Backstop Investors will have subscription rights in any such offering
allowing them to maintain their respective proportionate pro forma New Common Stock
-equivalent interests on a Fully Diluted Basis with the effect that the Backstop Investors
will be assured of the ability to acquire such number of shares of New Common Stock as
would have been available to them pursuant to Section 5.9 had the GGP Backstop
Rights Offering been made after the Closing;
(v) the Backstop Investors will receive aggregate compensation in the form of New
Common Stock (whether or not the backstop commitments are utilized) with a value equal to
three percent (3%) of the GGP Backstop Rights Offering Amount; and
(vi) the amount of New Common Stock to be purchased pursuant to the GGP Backstop
Rights Offering will be subject to reduction to the extent that either (A) the Company
Board determines in its business judgment after consultation with the Backstop Investors
that it has sufficient liquidity and working capital available to it in light of
circumstances at the time and the costs and benefits to the Company of consummation of the
GGP Backstop Rights Offering or (B) the Backstop Investors have agreed that they will
provide to the Company, in lieu of the GGP Backstop Rights Offering, the Bridge Securities
contemplated in clause (b) below.
(b) The Company shall give each Backstop Investor written notice of its estimate of
the amount the Backstop Investors will be required to fund pursuant to Section
6.9(a) no later than six (6) Business Days prior to the Closing Date. If each Backstop
Investor agrees, the Backstop Investors shall have two (2) Business Days from the date of
receipt of such notice to notify the Company in writing that they intend to elect to
purchase from the Company in lieu of all or part of the proceeds to be provided by the GGP
Backstop Rights Offering its pro rata portion of senior subordinated unsecured notes and/or
preferred stock instruments (at the election of the Backstop Investors) on market terms
except as provided below (the “Bridge Securities”). The Bridge Securities would
have a final maturity date, in the case of a note, and a mandatory redemption date, in the
case of preferred stock, on the 270th day after the Effective Date, would not require any
mandatory interim cash distributions except as contemplated in (i) below, and would yield
to the Company on the Closing Date cash proceeds (net of OID) of at least the proceeds from
the GGP Backstop Rights Offering that such Bridge Securities are intended to replace. The
Bridge Securities would be subordinated in right of payment to any New Debt, would have
market coupon and fees, would allow for any interest due prior to maturity to be “paid in
kind” (rather than paid in cash) at the election of the Company, would be prepayable,
without any prepayment penalty or prepayment premium, on a pro rata basis at any time, and
would otherwise be on market terms (determined such that fair value of the Bridge
Securities as of the Effective Date is equal to par minus OID).
7
If the GGP Backstop Rights Offering is completed or the Bridge Securities are issued:
(i) unless the Backstop Investors otherwise agree, the Bridge Securities shall be
subject to mandatory prepayment on a pro rata basis out of the proceeds of any equity or
debt securities offered or sold by the Company at any time the Bridge Securities are
outstanding (other than the New Common Stock sold to the Backstop Investors, any New Common
Stock sold in the GGP Backstop Rights Offering and the New Debt); and
(ii) if the Bridge Securities are issued and not repaid on or before the date that is
thirty (30) days following the Effective Date, the Company shall conduct a rights offering
in an amount equal to the outstanding amount due with respect to the Bridge Securities and
with a pro rata backstop by each applicable Backstop Investor on substantially the same
procedure and terms provided in clause (a) above, with such rights offering to have a
subscription period of not more than 30 days that ends no later than the 10th day prior to
the final maturity date or mandatory redemption of the Bridge Securities.
(c) If the Company requests Purchaser and the Fairholme/Pershing Investors
(collectively, the “Initial Investors”), in writing, at any time prior to fifteen
(15) days before the commencement of solicitation of acceptances of the Plan, each Initial
Investor agrees that it shall, severally but not jointly and severally, provide or cause a
designee to provide its pro rata share of a backstop for new bonds, loans or preferred
stock (as determined by the Initial Investor) in an aggregate amount equal to
$1,500,000,000 less the Reinstated Amounts, at a market rate and market commitment fees,
and otherwise on terms and conditions to be mutually agreed among the Initial Investors and
the Company. The new bonds, loans or preferred stock would require no mandatory interim
cash principal payments prior to the third anniversary of issuance (unless funded from
committed junior indebtedness or junior preferred stock), and would yield proceeds to the
Company on the Closing Date net of OID of at least $1,500,000,000 less the Reinstated
Amounts. Any Initial Investor may at any time designate in writing one or more financial
institutions with a corporate investment grade credit rating (from S&P or Xxxxx’x) to make
a substantially similar undertaking as that provided herein and, upon the receipt of such
an undertaking by the Company in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company,
such Initial Investor shall be released from its obligations under this Agreement, the
Fairholme Agreement or the Pershing Agreement, as applicable.
(d) For the purposes of Section 6.9(a) and Section 6.9(b), the “pro
rata share” or “pro rata basis” of each Backstop Investor shall be determined in accordance
with the maximum number of shares of New Common Stock each Backstop Investor has committed
to purchase at Closing pursuant to the Pershing Agreement or this Agreement, as applicable,
as of the date hereof, in relation to
8
the aggregate maximum number of shares of New Common Stock all Backstop Investors have
committed to purchase at Closing pursuant to the Pershing Agreements or this Agreement, as
applicable, as of the date hereof. For the purposes of Section 6.9(c), the “pro
rata share” or “pro rata basis” of each Initial Investor shall be determined in accordance
with the maximum number of shares of New Common Stock each Initial Investor has committed
to purchase at Closing pursuant to the Fairholme/Pershing Agreements or this Agreement, as
applicable, as of the date hereof, but excluding any shares of New Common Stock the
Backstop Investors have committed to purchase pursuant to this Section 6.9.”
