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

The Warrant Agreement shall provide that the Warrants shall vest in accordance with Section 2.2(b) and Schedule A of the Warrant Agreement.

“(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:

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 Moody’s) 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.”

All capitalized terms used in this Amendment which are not herein defined shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement (as defined herein).
WHEREAS, Section 13.8 of the Agreement provides for the amendment of the Agreement in accordance with the terms set forth therein.
WHEREAS, on May 3, 2010, the Company entered into an amendment to the Pershing Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A with the Pershing Purchasers;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and of the covenants and agreements set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:
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

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.”

Warrants, New Warrants and GGO Warrants.

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)”.

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:

Liquidity.

(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 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 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 Moody’s) 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
