Settlement of Forward Sale Contract. On October 21, 2009, AC settled a forward sale contract (the June Contract) that was entered into on June 21, 2006 with the Purchaser that related to an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of common stock by delivery to the Purchaser of 10,000,000 shares of common stock.

(a) If the volume weighted average price (the Settlement Price) of the common stock on the five trading days ending on October 16, 2009 is less than or equal to $7.5970 (the Forward Floor Price), the Exchange Rate will be one; (b) if the Settlement Price is greater than the Forward Floor Price but less than or equal to $10.6358 (the Forward Cap Price), the Exchange Rate will be equal to the Forward Floor Price divided by the Settlement Price; and (c) if the Settlement Price is greater than the Forward Cap Price, the Exchange Rate will be equal to the Adjusted Forward Floor Price (as hereinafter defined) divided by the Settlement Price. The Adjusted Forward Floor Price will be equal to the Forward Floor Price plus the Settlement Price minus the Forward Cap Price.
In consideration for entering into the June Contract, AC received an aggregate prepayment amount of approximately $62,295,400. In the event of the payment of dividends (whether cash or in-kind), stock splits, reverse stock splits, spinoffs, mergers or similar events affecting the common stock, the Base Amounts and one or more of the Settlement Price, Forward Floor Price and Forward Cap Price were subject to adjustment depending on the nature of the transaction.
