STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT, dated as of July 8, 2010 (this “Agreement”), by and between General Growth Properties, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“GGP”), and Teacher Retirement System of Texas, a public pension plan and entity of the State of Texas (together with its permitted assigns, “Purchaser”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, GGP is a debtor in possession in that certain bankruptcy case under chapter 11 (“Chapter 11”) of Title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101-1532 (as amended, the “Bankruptcy Code”) filed on April 16, 2009 in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”), Case No. 09-11977 (ALG).

WHEREAS, Purchaser desires to assist GGP in its plans to recapitalize and emerge from bankruptcy and has agreed to participate in the implementation of a joint chapter 11 plan of reorganization based on the Plan Summary Term Sheet (as defined below) (together with all documents and agreements that form part of such plan or related plan supplement or are related thereto, and as it may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, in each case, to the extent it relates to the implementation and effectuation of the Plan Summary Term Sheet and this Agreement, the “Plan”) of GGP and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates who are debtors and debtors-in-possession (the “Debtors”) in the chapter 11 cases pending and jointly administered in the Bankruptcy Court (the “Bankruptcy Cases”).

WHEREAS, principal elements of the Plan (including a table setting forth the proposed treatment of allowed claims and equity interests in the Bankruptcy Cases) are set forth on the Plan Summary Term Sheet (the “Plan Summary Term Sheet”) that is an exhibit to that certain Cornerstone Investment Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2010, as amended (the “Brookfield Agreement”), by and between GGP and REP Investments LLC (the “Brookfield Investor”).

WHEREAS, the Plan will provide, among other things, that (i) each holder of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of GGP (the “Common Stock”) shall receive, in exchange for each share of Common Stock held by such holder, one share (subject to adjustment) of new common stock (the “New Common Stock”) of a new company that succeeds to GGP in the manner contemplated by the Brookfield Agreement upon consummation of the Plan (the “Reorganized Company”) and (ii) any Equity Securities (other than Common Stock) of the Company (as defined below) or any of its Subsidiaries (as defined below) outstanding immediately after the Effective Date that were previously convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, Common Stock shall thereafter be convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, New Common Stock (based upon the number of shares of Common Stock underlying such Equity Securities) (the transactions contemplated by clauses (i) and (ii) of this recital being referred to herein as the “Equity Exchange”). For purposes of this Agreement, the “Company” shall be deemed to refer, prior to consummation of the Plan, to GGP and, on and after consummation of the Plan, to the Reorganized Company, as the context requires.

WHEREAS, Purchaser desires to make an investment in the Reorganized Company on the terms and subject to the conditions described herein in the form of the purchase of shares of New Common Stock as contemplated hereby.

WHEREAS, in addition to the Equity Exchange and the sale of the Shares (as defined below), the Plan will provide for the incorporation by the Company of a new subsidiary, General Growth Opportunities, Inc. (“GGO”), the contribution of certain assets (and/or equity interests related thereto) of the Company to GGO and the assumption by GGO of the liabilities associated with such assets, and the distribution to the shareholders of the Company of capital stock of GGO, in each case, as contemplated by the Brookfield Agreement (subject to adjustment as contemplated by the Brookfield Agreement).

WHEREAS, the Company has requested that Purchaser commit to purchase the Shares at a fixed price.

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

ARTICLE I

PURCHASE OF NEW COMMON STOCK; CLOSING

SECTION 1.1 Purchase of New Common Stock.

(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, at the Closing (as defined below), Purchaser shall purchase from the Company, and the Company shall sell to Purchaser, Forty-Eight Million Seven Hundred Eighty Thousand Four Hundred Eighty-Eight (48,780,488) shares of New Common Stock (the “Shares”) for a price per share equal to $10.25 (the “Per Share Purchase Price”) (in the aggregate, Five Hundred Million Dollars ($500,000,000) (the “Purchase Price”)). On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, at the Closing Purchaser shall cause the Purchase Price to be paid by wire transfer of immediately available U.S. Dollar funds to such account or accounts as the Company shall have designated in writing prior to the Closing.

(b) All Shares shall be delivered with any and all issue, stamp, transfer or similar taxes or duties payable in connection with such delivery duly paid by the Company to the extent required under the Confirmation Order or applicable Law.

(c) Purchaser, in its sole discretion, may assign its rights to receive the Shares hereunder or designate that some or all of the Shares be issued in the name of, and delivered to, an Affiliate of Purchaser, subject to (i) such action not causing any delay in the obtaining of, or significantly increasing the risk of not obtaining, any material authorizations, consents, orders, declarations or approvals necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise delaying the consummation of such transactions, (ii) such Person shall be an “accredited investor” (within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act) and shall have agreed in writing with and for the benefit of the Company to be bound by the terms of this Agreement applicable to Purchaser set forth in Section 5.4, including the delivery of the letter certifying compliance with the representations and covenants set forth on Exhibit A to the extent applicable to such assignee or designee and (iii) such initial Purchaser not being relieved of any of its obligations under this Agreement ((i), (ii) and (iii) collectively, the “Designation Conditions”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,

Purchaser may not assign its rights to receive or designate Shares to any Person if such assignment or designation would cause a failure of the closing condition in Section 7.1(u) of the Brookfield Agreement.

SECTION 1.2 Closing. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions (excluding conditions that, by their nature, cannot be satisfied until the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions as of the Closing) set forth in ARTICLE VI and ARTICLE VII, the closing of the purchase of the Shares by Purchaser pursuant hereto (the “Closing”) shall occur at 9:30 a.m., New York time, on the effective date of the Plan (the “Effective Date”), at the offices of Weil, Gotshal & Xxxxxx LLP located at 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000, or such other date, time or location as agreed by the parties. The date of the Closing is referred to as the “Closing Date”.

SECTION 1.3 Company Rights Offering Election. The Company may at any time prior to the date of filing of the Disclosure Statement, upon written notice to Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof (the “Rights Offering Election”), irrevocably elect to convert the obligation of Purchaser to purchase the Shares as contemplated by Section 1.1 hereof into an obligation of Purchaser to participate in a rights offering by the Company pursuant to which shareholders and/or creditors of the Company are offered rights to subscribe for shares of New Common Stock (a “Company Rights Offering”), subject to the execution and delivery of definitive documentation therefor and the satisfaction of the conditions described therein and other customary conditions for a public rights offering. To the extent the Company makes a Rights Offering Election, (i) Purchaser shall be entitled to a minimum allocation of shares of New Common Stock in the Company Rights Offering equal to the number of shares Purchaser would otherwise be required to purchase pursuant to Section 1.1 hereof had no such election been made, (ii) the purchase price per share payable by Purchaser shall be equal to the Per Share Purchase Price and Purchaser shall not be otherwise adversely affected as compared to the transactions contemplated hereby, (iii) the Company Rights Offering shall be effected in a manner substantially consistent with the procedures contemplated by the Brookfield Agreement; provided, that the Company Rights Offering shall be completed by the Effective Date, and (iv) if the Company elects to have a Company Rights Offering, the Company and Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith to develop and agree upon documentation that is reasonably acceptable to both the Company and Purchaser governing the further terms and conditions of the Company Rights Offering to the extent it effects the Purchaser.

SECTION 1.4 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 reduce the number of Shares purchased by Purchaser pursuant to Section 1.1(a) by such number as the Company may determine in its discretion; provided, that the number of Shares purchased by Purchaser pursuant to Section 1.1(a) shall not be less than 24,390,244. No election by the Company under this Section 1.4(a) shall be effective unless received by Purchaser at least five (5) Business Days prior to Closing. Any election by the Company under this Section 1.4(a) shall be binding and irrevocable.

(b) The Company may elect by written notice to Purchaser at least five (5) Business Days prior to Closing to specify a number of Shares to be purchased by Purchaser 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 Shares purchased by Purchaser pursuant to Section 1.1(a) (after taking into account any reduction pursuant to Section 1.4(a)) minus the Reserved Shares shall not be less than 24,390,244. If the Company elects to designate any Reserved Shares, the Company shall thereafter have the right to elect by written notice to Purchaser (the “Repurchase Notice”) on or prior to the 45th day after the Effective Date (or, if not a Business Day, the next Business Day) to repurchase (with proceeds from the sale of Permitted Replacement Shares) from Purchaser a number of Shares up to the number of Reserved Shares. The purchase price for any repurchased Reserved Shares shall be $10.25 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 Purchaser and not later than the date that is 45 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.

Other than as set forth on Section 2.4 of the Company Disclosure Letter or as contemplated by this Agreement or the Investment Agreements, or pursuant to Contracts entered into by the Company after the date hereof and prior to the Closing that are otherwise not inconsistent with Purchaser’s rights hereunder and with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and do not confer on any other Person rights that are superior to those received by Purchaser hereunder or pursuant to the transactions contemplated hereby other than rights and terms that are customarily granted to holders of any such Equity Securities so issued and not customarily granted in transactions such as the transactions contemplated hereby, there is no outstanding obligation of the Company or its Subsidiaries to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any Equity Security.

this Agreement and compliance by the Company with all of the provisions hereof and thereof and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and therein, (x) shall not conflict with, or result in a breach or violation of, any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the acceleration of, or the creation of any lien under, or give rise to any termination right under, any Contract to which the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of their material assets are subject or encumbered, (y) shall not result in any violation or breach of any terms, conditions or provisions of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company, or the comparable organizational documents of the Company’s Subsidiaries, and (z) shall not conflict with or result in any violation or breach of, or any termination or impairment of any rights under, any statute or any license, authorization, injunction, judgment, order, decree, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or assets, except, in the case of each of clauses (x) and (z) above, for any such conflict, breach, acceleration, lien, termination, impairment, failure to comply, default or violation that would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (except with respect to the provisions of the Approval Order).

(b) Subject to the entry of the Approval Order, the performance by the Company of its respective obligations under the Approval Order and compliance by the Company with all of the provisions thereof (x) shall not conflict with, or result in a breach or violation of, any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the acceleration of, or the creation of any lien under, or give rise to any termination right under, any Contract, (y) shall not result in any violation or breach of any terms, conditions or provisions of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company, or the comparable organizational documents of the Company’s Subsidiaries, and (z) shall not conflict with or result in any violation or breach of, or any termination or impairment of any rights under, any statute or any license, authorization, injunction, judgment, order, decree, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or assets, except, in the case of each of clauses (x) and (z) above, for any such conflict, breach, acceleration, lien, termination, impairment, failure to comply, default or violation that would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

No Subsidiary of the Company other than a REIT Subsidiary is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, other than a corporation that qualifies as a “taxable REIT subsidiary” within the meaning of Section 856(l) of the Code. For the purposes of this Agreement, “REIT Subsidiary” means each of GGP Ivanhoe, Inc., GGP Holding, Inc., GGP Holding II, Inc., Xxxxxxxx Xxxx, Limited, GGP-Natick Trust and GGP/Homart, Inc.

(c) Each Company Subsidiary other than its REIT Subsidiaries that is a partnership, joint venture, or limited liability company and which has not elected to be a “taxable REIT subsidiary” within the meaning of Section 856(l) of the Code has been since its formation treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a partnership or disregarded entity, as the case may be, and not as a corporation or an association taxable as a corporation, except where failure to do so would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(d) Except where the failure to be true would not have a Material Adverse Effect, the Company and each of its Significant Subsidiaries have (i) complied in all respects with all applicable Laws, rules, and regulations relating to the payment and withholding of Taxes (including withholding and reporting requirements under sections 1441 through 1464, 3401 through 3406, 6041 and 6049 of the Code and similar provisions under any other Laws) and (ii)

within the time and in the manner prescribed by Law, withheld from employee wages and paid to the proper Governmental Entities all amounts required to be withheld and paid over.

(e) Except where the failure to be true would not have a Material Adverse Effect, no audits or other administrative proceedings or court proceedings are presently pending or to the Knowledge of the Company threatened with regard to any Taxes or Tax Returns of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, other than any audit or administrative proceeding relating to Taxes for which a claim has been filed in a Debtor’s Chapter 11 case or any other audit or administrative or court proceeding that is not reasonably expected to result in a material Tax liability to the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries.

(f) [Intentionally omitted.]

(g) There are no Tax Protection Agreements except for those the breach of which would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Significant Subsidiary has any liability for Taxes of any Person under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of any state, local or foreign Law), or as a transferee or successor (by contract or otherwise), other than (i) to a Subsidiary of the Company or (ii) where any such liability would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 2.22 Material Contracts. Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each Material Contract that shall survive the Bankruptcy Cases is valid and binding on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, and, to the Knowledge of the Company, on each other Person party thereto, and is in full force and effect. Other than as a result of the commencement of the Bankruptcy Cases, each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has performed, in all material respects, all obligations required to be performed by it under each Material Contract that shall survive the Bankruptcy Cases, except, in each case, as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Other than those caused as a result of the filing of the Bankruptcy Cases, neither the Company nor any of its Significant Subsidiaries is in breach or default of any Material Contract to which it is a party and which shall survive the Bankruptcy Cases, except, in each case, as would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has made available to Purchaser true, accurate and complete copies of the Material Contracts as of March 31, 2010, except for those Material Contracts available to the public on the website maintained by the SEC. To the Knowledge of the Company, no party to any Material Contract that shall survive the Bankruptcy Cases has given written notice of any action to terminate, cancel, rescind or procure a judicial reformation of such Material Contract or any material provision thereof, which termination, cancellation, rescission or reformation would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. For the avoidance of doubt, Material Contracts do not include intercompany contracts.

SECTION 2.23 No Other Representations or Warranties. Except for the representations and warranties made by the Company in this ARTICLE II, neither the Company nor any other Person makes any representation or warranty with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries or their respective business, operations, assets, liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects, notwithstanding the delivery or disclosure to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or their

respective representatives of any documentation, forecasts or other information with respect to any one or more of the foregoing.

SECTION 5.4 Transfer Restrictions. Purchaser covenants and agrees that the Shares shall be disposed of only pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in compliance with any applicable state securities Laws. Purchaser agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 5.4, of the following legend on any certificate evidencing the Shares:

THE SHARES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”) OR UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS (“BLUE SKY”) OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY OTHER RELEVANT JURISDICTION. THE SHARES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO DISTRIBUTION OR RESALE. THE SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD, ASSIGNED, MORTGAGED, PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED, HYPOTHECATED, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS EITHER (I) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THE SHARES IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE ACT AND APPLICABLE BLUE SKY LAWS AND THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY OTHER RELEVANT JURISDICTION ARE COMPLIED WITH OR (II) UNLESS WAIVED BY THE ISSUER, THE ISSUER RECEIVES AN OPINION OF LEGAL COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT NO VIOLATION OF THE ACT OR OTHER APPLICABLE LAWS WILL BE INVOLVED IN SUCH TRANSACTION.

Certificates evidencing the Shares shall not be required to contain such legend (A) while a registration statement covering the resale of the Shares is effective under the Securities Act, or (B) following any sale of any such Shares pursuant to Rule 144 of the Exchange Act (“Rule 144”), or (C) following receipt of a legal opinion of counsel to Purchaser that the remaining Shares held by Purchaser are eligible for resale without volume limitations or other limitations under Rule 144. In addition, the Company will agree to the removal of all legends with respect to shares of New Common Stock deposited with DTC from time to time in anticipation of sale in accordance with the volume limitations and other limitations under Rule 144, subject to the Company’s approval of appropriate procedures, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Following the time at which such legend is no longer required (as provided above) for certain Shares, the Company shall promptly, following the delivery by Purchaser to the Company of a legended certificate representing such Shares, deliver or cause to be delivered to Purchaser a certificate representing such Shares that is free from such legend. In the event the

above legend is removed from any of the Shares, and thereafter the effectiveness of a registration statement covering such Shares is suspended or the Company determines that a supplement or amendment thereto is required by applicable securities Laws, then the Company may require that the above legend be placed on any such Shares that cannot then be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or under Rule 144 and Purchaser shall cooperate in the replacement of such legend. Such legend shall thereafter be removed when such Shares may again be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or under Rule 144.

The Plan shall provide that, 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, Purchaser and its applicable Affiliates, subject to any rights the Purchaser or its Affiliates have to participate in such offering, 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 reasonably requested by the managing underwriter in connection with such offering; provided, however, in no event will Purchaser or its Affiliates be required to enter into a ‘lock-up’ agreement (i) if it beneficially owns 3% or less of the New Common Stock or (ii) for a period longer than is applicable to any executive officer, director or Affiliate of the Company (for the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser agrees that Fairholme is not an Affiliate of the Company).
