of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, 4 Times Square, New York, New York, 10036 or (ii) at such other place and at such date and time as the Company and the Purchaser may agree (the actual date of the Closing, the

conditions that by their nature cannot be satisfied until the Closing Date, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions). At the Closing, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser certificates representing the shares of Preferred
Stock against payment by the Purchaser of $1,000,000,000 by wire transfer of immediately available United States funds to the Company (the “Purchase Price”). 
 3. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser as follows: 
 3.1 Corporate Existence and Power. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of its jurisdiction, except where the failure to be in good standing has not had, and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority
to carry on its business as now conducted. 
 3.2 Capitalization. 
 (a) The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 600,000,000 shares of Company Common Stock, without par value (the “Company Common
Stock”), and 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Company Preferred Stock”). Of the Company Preferred Stock, at the close of business on December 16, 2008, there were 10,000 shares of Series
A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, outstanding and no shares of Preferred Stock outstanding. 
 (b) Other than
pursuant to this Agreement, no shares of Preferred Stock have been issued or are outstanding and no shares of Preferred Stock have been or will be held by the Company in its treasury. 
  

 4 








 (c) As of the date of this Agreement, there are (A) no options, warrants, calls, rights, convertible
or exchangeable securities, commitments, contracts, arrangements or undertakings of any kind to which the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or the Company Joint Ventures is a party or by which any of them is bound obligating the
Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or the Company Joint Ventures to issue, deliver or sell, or cause to be issued, delivered or sold, shares of Preferred Stock and (B) no other rights the value of which is in any way based on or derived
from, or that give any person the right to receive any economic benefit or right similar to or derived from the economic benefits and rights accruing to holders of Preferred Stock. 
 3.3 Authorization. The Company has all requisite corporate power to enter into the Transaction Agreements and to carry out and perform its
obligations under the terms of the Transaction Agreements. All corporate action on the part of the Company, its officers, directors and stockholders necessary for the authorization of the Preferred Stock, and the filing of the Articles
Supplementary, the authorization, execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the issuance of the 10% Senior Notes (the “Transactions”)
has been taken. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Agreements by the Company and the consummation of the Transactions do not require any approval of the Company’s stockholders. Assuming this Agreement constitutes the
legal and binding agreement of the Purchaser, this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance and similar laws relating to or affecting creditors generally or by general equity principles (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law) and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. The transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements will not result in the Purchaser, Purchaser’s Parent or any Affiliate of Purchaser’s Parent
becoming an “interested stockholder” (as that term is defined in the Maryland Business Combination Act) of the Company, and the Company has provided the Purchaser certified resolutions of the Board of Directors effecting such action.

 3.4 Valid Issuance. The Preferred Stock being purchased by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement will, upon issuance pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement and upon payment therefor, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of preemptive or similar rights, except as set forth in Section 7.1(i) of the Articles Supplementary. Upon
their issuance in accordance with the terms of the Articles Supplementary, Dividend Shares will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of preemptive or similar rights and the 10% Senior Notes will
constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms. Subject to the accuracy of the representations made by the Purchaser in Section 4, the Preferred Stock will be
issued to the Purchaser in compliance with applicable exemptions from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. As of the date hereof, the Company is eligible to file a registration statement on Form S-3 under the
Securities Act and is current in its filings with the SEC under Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act. 
 3.5 No Conflict. No
material consent, approval, order or authorization from any Person (other than the Purchaser and its Affiliates) or Governmental Authority that has not 

  

 5 








 
been obtained is required for the (i) execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company, (ii) the issuance of the Preferred
Stock or (iii) the issuance of the 10% Senior Notes. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Agreements by the Company and the consummation of the other transactions contemplated hereby will not (i) conflict with or
result in any violation of any provision of the charter or bylaws of the Company, (ii) any bond, debenture, note, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or other material agreement or instrument to which the Company, the Company Subsidiaries, the
Company Joint Ventures or their respective subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them is bound or to which any of their properties is subject or (iii) conflict with or violate any applicable Law, other than, in the case of (ii) and
(iii) above, as would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. 
 3.6
Preference. The Company has no authorized or outstanding class of securities ranking as to dividends, redemption or distribution of assets upon a liquidation senior to or pari passu with the Preferred Stock. 
 3.7 General Solicitation; No Integration. Neither the Company nor any other Person or entity authorized by the Company to act on its behalf has
engaged in a general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act) of investors with respect to offers or sales of the Preferred Stock. The Company has not, directly or indirectly, sold, offered
for sale, solicited offers to buy or otherwise negotiated in respect of, any security (as defined in the Securities Act) which, to its knowledge, is or will be integrated with the Preferred Stock sold pursuant to this Agreement. 
 3.8 No Regulatory Approvals. There are no regulatory approvals or consents required for the authorization of the Preferred Stock, and the filing
of the Articles Supplementary, the issuance of the 10% Senior Notes, the authorization, execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby. 
 4. Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. The Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company as follows: 
 4.1 Organization. The Purchaser is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Delaware and has the
requisite power and authority to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements to which it will be a party and to perform each of its obligations hereunder and thereunder. 
 4.2 Authorization. All corporate, member or partnership action on the part of the Purchaser or its stockholders necessary for the authorization,
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements to which it will be a party and the consummation of the Transactions has been taken. Assuming this Agreement constitutes the legal and binding agreement of
the Company, this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance and similar laws relating to or affecting creditors generally or by general equity principles (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and
an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. 
  

 6 








 4.3 No Conflict. No material consent, approval, order or authorization of any third party is
required for the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Purchaser. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Agreements by the Purchaser and the consummation of the other transactions contemplated hereby will
not (i) conflict with or result in any violation of any provision of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws or other equivalent organizational documents of the Purchaser or (ii) conflict with or violate any applicable Law, other than,
in the case of (ii) above, as would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to materially delay or hinder the ability of the Purchaser to perform its obligations under the Transaction Agreements. 
 4.4 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The Purchaser is acquiring the Preferred Stock for its own account and not with a view to, or for sale in
connection with, any distribution of the Preferred Stock in violation of the Securities Act. The Purchaser has no present agreement, undertaking, arrangement, obligation or commitment providing for the disposition of the Preferred Stock. 

4.5 Investor Status. The Purchaser certifies and represents to the Company that it is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501
of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. The Purchaser’s financial condition is such that it is able to bear the risk of holding the Preferred Stock for an indefinite period of time and the risk of loss of its entire investment.
The Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the management of the Company concerning this investment and has sufficient knowledge and experience in investing in companies similar to the Company so as
to be able to evaluate the risks and merits of its investment in the Company. 
 4.6 Preferred Stock Not Registered. The Purchaser
understands that the Preferred Stock has not been registered under the Securities Act, by reason of their issuance by the Company in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and that the Preferred Stock must
continue to be held by the Purchaser unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the Securities Act or is exempt from such registration. The Purchaser understands that the exemptions from registration afforded by Rule 144 (the
provisions of which are known to it) promulgated under the Securities Act depend on the satisfaction of various conditions, and that, if applicable, Rule 144 may afford the basis for sales only in limited amounts. 
 5. Covenants. 
 5.1 Reasonable Best
Efforts. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each party will use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate actions, to file, or cause to be filed, all documents and to do, or cause to be done,
all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Transactions, including preparing and filing as promptly as reasonably practicable all documentation to effect all necessary filings, consents, waivers, approvals, authorizations, licenses,
consents, certificates, registrations, approvals or other permits of any Governmental Authority or orders from all Governmental 

  

 7 








 
Authorities or other Persons; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries be required to pay any fee,
penalty or other consideration to obtain any consent, approval or waiver required for the consummation of the Transactions under any contract. 
 5.2 Interim Actions. If during the period between the date hereof and the earlier of the Closing Date and the date this Agreement is terminated, the Company takes any action that, had the Preferred Stock been outstanding at such
time, (i) would have resulted in a distribution or payment to the holders of the Preferred Stock, (ii) would, or together with other like events could, have resulted in any adjustments to the terms of the Preferred Stock, or
(iii) would have required the prior approval of or consent by the holders of the Preferred Stock, then the taking of any such action by the Company shall require the approval of the Purchaser. 
 5.3 Payments. All payments made to the Purchaser in connection with the 10% Senior Notes and the Preferred Stock shall be made by wire transfer of
immediately available United States funds. 
 5.4 Tax Treatment of Preferred Stock. The Company shall not treat any accruing dividends
as giving rise to any redemption premium. 
 5.5 Purchaser’s Parent Guarantee. Purchaser’s Parent unconditionally,
absolutely and, subject to the following sentence, irrevocably guarantees to the Company (i) the full and prompt payment, as and when due and payable, of the Purchase Price on the Closing Date by the Purchaser in accordance with
Section 2.3 and the performance by the Purchaser of all of its other obligations under this Agreement and (ii) the due, prompt and timely performance and observance by the Purchaser of any and all of its other obligations now or hereafter
existing in respect of this Agreement (the “Purchaser’s Parent Guarantee”). The Purchaser’s Parent Guarantee shall remain in effect until the earliest to occur of (i) all such obligations having been fully and
irrevocably performed and satisfied, (ii) the occurrence of the Closing and (iii) if applicable, the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7 (other than a termination under Section 7.1(b)(iii) by the Company or its
Affiliates where the Purchaser’s Parent Guarantee under the Master Agreement survives such termination of the Master Agreement). Purchaser’s Parent hereby guarantees that the Purchaser’s Parent Guarantee will be paid and performed
strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Company with respect hereto. Purchaser’s Parent
agrees that its guarantee constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection. Purchaser’s Parent hereby waives demand, presentment and notice of default or breach for non-performance of any of the covenants, terms, conditions or
agreements in any other matter or thing mentioned and described in this Agreement. Furthermore, the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not affect the enforceability or effectiveness of the Purchaser’s Parent Guarantee:
(i) any modification, amendment, settlement, release (in whole or in part) or enforcement of the obligations guaranteed, (ii) any merger, consolidation, restructuring or termination of the corporate existence of the Purchaser,
(iii) the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of all or any part of the obligations guaranteed or any agreement or instrument related thereto, (iv) the failure of the Company to exhaust any right, remedy, power or privilege it may
have against the Purchaser (including failure to file or enforce a claim in any bankruptcy or other proceeding), (v) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, winding-up, adjustment of debts or appointment of a 

  

 8 








 
custodian or liquidator, or similar proceedings commenced by or against the Purchaser, including any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or
any part of the obligations guaranteed and (vi) any other defense with respect to the performance of all or any part of the Purchaser’s Parent Guarantee, including but not limited to the effect of any statute of limitations.

Senior Notes shall have been obtained. 
 (b) No temporary restraining order, preliminary or permanent injunction or other judgment or order
issued by any court or agency of competent jurisdiction (each, a “Restraint”) shall be in effect which prohibits, restrains or renders illegal the consummation of the Investment (provided, that prior to asserting this
condition, the party asserting this condition shall have used its best efforts (in the manner contemplated by Section 5.1) to prevent the entry of any such Restraint and to appeal as promptly as practicable any judgment that may be entered).

 (a) The representations and warranties contained herein of the Purchaser shall be true and correct on the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing
Date with the same force and effect as though made on and as of the Closing Date, except where the failure to be so true and correct would not, individually or in the aggregate, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date has not had, and would
not be reasonably likely to have an effect on the Purchaser that will, or would reasonably be expected to, materially delay or hinder the ability of the Purchaser to perform its obligations under the Transaction Agreements; provided,
however, that such representations and warranties made as of a specific date need only be true and correct (subject to the qualifications set forth above) as of such date only.

 8. Miscellaneous Provisions. 
 8.1
Public Statements or Releases. Purchaser and the Company will consult with each other before issuing, and provide each other the reasonable opportunity to review, comment upon and concur with, any press release or other public statements with

 8.5 Governing Law. 
 (a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof. 
 (b) Subject to Section 8.5(d), in the event of any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, including any dispute regarding its
existence, termination or validity, each party shall have the right to have recourse to and shall be bound by the pre-arbitral referee procedure of the International Chamber of Commerce in accordance with its rules for a Pre-Arbitral Referee
Procedure. All disputes arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (including as to existence, termination and validity) shall be finally settled under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (the
“Rules”) by three arbitrators appointed in accordance with said Rules. The place of the pre-arbitral referee procedure and of the arbitration shall be New York, New York, United States of America. The proceedings before the arbitral
tribunal (including with respect to the Pre-Arbitral Referee Procedure) shall be governed by the Rules. The rules of law to be applied by the arbitral tribunal to the merits of the dispute shall be the rules of laws of the State of New York. The
language of the arbitration shall be English. Evidence shall be provided in English and pleadings shall be done in English. The arbitral tribunal shall render its decision within six months from the date of signature of the terms of reference.

 (c) Any decision or award of the arbitral tribunal shall be final and binding upon the parties to the arbitration proceeding. The parties
waive to the extent permitted by applicable law any rights to appeal or to review of such award by any court or tribunal. The parties agree that the arbitral award may be enforced against the parties to the arbitration proceeding or their assets
wherever they may be found and that a judgment upon the arbitral award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. 
 (d) The
parties acknowledge and agree that all disputes arising out of or in connection with a breach by a party of a representation, warranty, covenant or other term in the Agreement which would prevent the Closing from occurring due to the failure of a
party’s condition precedent to close as set forth in Section 6 shall not be subject to the dispute resolution provisions of Section 8.5(b), and each party is entitled to seek the relief provided to it in Section 8.7 (as to
equitable relief). 
 8.6 Waiver. No waiver of any term, provision or condition of this Agreement, whether by conduct or otherwise, in
any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be, or be construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any such term, provision or condition or as a waiver of any other term, provision or condition of this Agreement. 
 8.7 Remedies. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed
in accordance with the terms hereof or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that prior to the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 7, each party will each be entitled to an injunction or 

  

 13 








 
injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any state or federal court
located in New York, New York, which court shall apply the internal laws of the State of New York as the law governing this Agreement, and the parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction of such court and agree not to raise any objection to venue in
such court, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity without prejudice to any other rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to such other party. 
 8.8 Expenses. Each of the Company and the Purchaser shall be responsible for their own expenses incurred in connection with the Investment and the
other transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements. 
 8.9 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, provided that no party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the consent
of the other parties hereto (and any purported assignment without such consent shall be void and without effect), provided, however, that the Purchaser may assign any of its rights, interests and obligations hereunder to an Affiliate,
provided that the Purchaser may not assign any of its rights, interests and obligations hereunder to an Affiliate if such assignment would, or would reasonably be expected to, materially delay or hinder the ability of the Purchaser to perform
its obligations under Section 2.2 hereto, and provided further that no such assignment shall relieve the Purchaser from any of its agreements and obligations hereunder. 
 8.10 Third Parties. This Agreement does not create any rights, claims or benefits inuring to any Person that is not a party nor create or
establish any third party beneficiary to this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement. 
 8.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may
be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. 
 8.12 Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement, the Investor Rights Agreement and the Master Agreement, constitute the entire agreement between the parties respecting the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede all prior
agreements, negotiations, understandings, representations and statements respecting the subject matter of this Agreement, whether written or oral. No modification, alteration, waiver or change in any of the terms of this Agreement shall be valid or
binding upon the parties unless made in writing and duly executed by the parties. 
 8.13 Survival. The representations and warranties
contained in this Agreement shall terminate upon the first to occur of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that in the event the Closing occurs, the representations and warranties in Section 3.1,
3.3 and 3.4 shall survive and remain in effect until the earlier of (i) the redemption by the Company of all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock and (ii) the issuance of the 10% Senior Notes. 
  

 14 








 8.14 Representation by Counsel; Mutual Drafting. The parties hereto agree that they have been
represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and hereby waive the application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction
providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if
drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
