--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

         
Settlement Terms:
       
 
       
Net Share Settlement:
  In lieu of the obligations set forth in Sections 8.1 and 9.1 of the Equity
Definitions, and subject to “Notice of Exercise” above, in respect of any
Exercise Date occurring on a Conversion Date, Deutsche shall deliver to
Counterparty, on the related Settlement Date, the Settlement Amount. For the
avoidance of doubt, to the extent Deutsche is obligated to deliver Shares
hereunder, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.10, 9.11 and 9.12 of the
Equity Definitions shall be applicable to any such delivery of Shares, except
that all references in such provisions to “Physical Settlement” and
“Physically-settled” shall be read as references to “Net Share Settlement” and
“Net Share Settled”; and provided that the Representation and Agreement
contained in Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions shall be modified by
excluding any representations therein relating to restrictions, obligations,
limitations or requirements under applicable securities laws as a result of the
fact that Counterparty is the issuer of the Shares.
 
       
Settlement Amount:
  The product of the Applicable Percentage and a number of Shares equal to the
Net Shares. In no event will the Net Shares be less than zero.
 
       
Net Shares:
  In respect of any Note Hedging Unit exercised or deemed exercised, a number of
Shares equal to (A) the sum of the quotients, for each Valid Day during the
Settlement Averaging Period for such Note Hedging Unit, of (x) the Note Hedging
Unit Entitlement on such Valid Day multiplied by (y) the Relevant Price on such
Valid Day less the Strike Price, divided by (z) such Relevant Price, divided by
(B) the number of Valid Days in the Settlement Averaging Period; provided that
in no event shall the Net Shares for any Note Hedging Unit exceed a number of
Shares equal to the Applicable Limit for such Note Hedging Unit divided by the
Relevant Price on the last Valid Day of the Settlement Averaging Period (or if
such Note Hedging Unit relates to a Convertible Note with a Conversion Date
occurring on or after the Aggregate Conversion Date, the Relevant Price on the
second Scheduled Valid Day immediately preceding the Expiration Date); provided
further that if the calculation contained in clause (y) above results in a
negative number, such number shall be replaced with the number “zero”. For the
avoidance of doubt, such obligation shall be determined excluding any Shares or
cash that Counterparty is obligated to deliver to holder(s) of the Convertible
Notes as a result of any adjustments to the “Conversion Rate” for issuance of
additional Shares or cash as set forth in Section 4.02 of the Indenture (a
“Fundamental Change Adjustment”) or any voluntary adjustment pursuant to
Sections 5.08 and 5.09 of the Indenture (a “Discretionary Adjustment”).
 
       
 
  Deutsche will deliver cash in lieu of any fractional Shares to be delivered
with respect to any Net Shares, valued at the Relevant Price for the last Valid
Day of the Settlement Averaging Period.

4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

         
Applicable Limit:
  For any Note Hedging Unit, an amount of cash equal to the Applicable
Percentage multiplied by the excess of (i) the number of Shares delivered to the
Holder (as such term is defined in the Indenture) of the related Convertible
Note upon conversion of such Convertible Note multiplied by the Relevant Price
on the date provided by Counterparty to Dealer pursuant to clause (ii) of
“Notice of Exercise,” or if such Note Hedging Unit relates to a Convertible Note
with a Conversion Date occurring on or after the Aggregate Conversion Date, the
Relevant Price on the second Scheduled Valid Day immediately preceding the
Expiration Date, over (ii) USD 1,000.
 
       
Valid Day:
  A day on which (i) there is no Market Disruption Event and (ii) trading in the
Shares generally occurs on the Exchange or, if the Shares are not then listed on
the Exchange, on the primary other United States national or regional securities
exchange on which the Shares are listed or admitted for trading or, if the
Shares are not then listed or admitted for trading on a United States national
or regional securities exchange, on the principal other market on which the
Shares are then traded. If the Shares are not so listed or admitted for trading,
“Valid Day” means a Business Day.
 
       
Scheduled Valid Day:
  A day that is scheduled to be a Valid Day on the principal United States
national or regional securities exchange or market on which the Shares are
listed or admitted for trading. If the Shares are not so listed or admitted for
trading, “Scheduled Valid Day” means a Business Day.
 
       
Business Day:
  Any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York is authorized or required by law or executive order to close or
be closed.
 
       
Relevant Price:
  On any Valid Day, the per Share volume-weighted average price as displayed
under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP” on Bloomberg page TSYS <equity> AQR (or any
successor thereto) in respect of the period from the scheduled opening time of
the Exchange to the Scheduled Closing Time of the Exchange on such Valid Day (or
if such volume-weighted average price is unavailable, the market value of one
Share on such Valid Day, as determined by the Calculation Agent using a
substantially similar volume-weighted method). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
any Valid Day is a Disrupted Day and the Calculation Agent determines that such
Disrupted Day shall be a Valid Day in part in respect of a number of Net Shares,
then the Relevant Price for such Valid Day and such number of Net Shares shall
be the volume-weighted average price per Share on such Valid Day on the
Exchange, as determined by the Calculation Agent based on such sources as it
deems appropriate using a volume-weighted methodology, for the portion of such
Valid Day and such number of Net Shares for which the Calculation Agent
determines there is no Market Disruption Event, and the Calculation Agent shall
make corresponding adjustments to the settlement terms hereunder to account for
such partial Valid Day.

consecutive Valid Days commencing on and including the second Scheduled Valid
Day following such Conversion Date; or
 
       
 
       (ii) if Counterparty has, on or following the Aggregate Conversion Date,

through the Clearance System.
 
       
Share Adjustments:
       
 
       
Potential Adjustment Events:
  Notwithstanding Section 11.2(e) of the Equity Definitions, a “Potential
Adjustment Event” means any occurrence of any event or condition, as set forth
in Section 5.06 of the Indenture that would result in an adjustment to the
Conversion Rate of the Convertible Notes; provided that in no event shall there
be any adjustment hereunder as a result of the Fundamental Change Adjustment or
Discretionary Adjustment provisions of the Indenture.
 
       
Method of Adjustment:
  Calculation Agent Adjustment, which means that, notwithstanding
Section 11.2(c) of the Equity Definitions, upon any adjustment to the Conversion
Rate of the Convertible Notes pursuant to the Indenture (other than a
Fundamental Change Adjustment or a Discretionary Adjustment), the Calculation
Agent shall make a corresponding adjustment to any one or more of the Strike
Price, Number of Note Hedging Units, the Note Hedging Unit Entitlement and any
other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement, payment or other terms of
the Transaction.
 
       
Extraordinary Events:
       
 
       
Merger Events:
  Notwithstanding Section 12.1(b) of the Equity Definitions, a “Merger Event”
means only the occurrence of any event or condition set forth in

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

         
 
  Section 5.11 of the Indenture.
 
       
Notice of Merger Consideration:
  Upon the occurrence of a Merger Event that causes the Shares to be converted
into or exchanged for more than a single type of consideration (determined based
in part upon the form of election of the holders of Shares), Counterparty shall
promptly (but in any event prior to the effective date of the Merger Event)
notify the Calculation Agent of the weighted average of the kind and amounts of
consideration to be received by the holders of Shares in any Merger Event who
affirmatively make such an election.
 
       
Consequences of Merger Events:
  Notwithstanding Section 12.2 of the Equity Definitions, upon the occurrence of
a Merger Event, the Calculation Agent shall make the corresponding adjustment in
respect of any adjustment under the Indenture to any one or more of the nature
of the Shares, the Strike Price, the Number of Note Hedging Units, the Note
Hedging Unit Entitlement and any other variable relevant to the exercise,
settlement, payment or other terms of the Transaction, to the extent an
analogous adjustment is made under the Indenture; provided that such adjustment
shall be made without regard to any adjustment to the Conversion Rate for the
issuance of additional shares or cash pursuant to a Fundamental Change
Adjustment or a Discretionary Adjustment; and provided further that the
Calculation Agent may limit or alter any such adjustment referenced in this
paragraph so that the fair value of the Transaction to Deutsche is not reduced
as a result of such adjustment.
 
       
Nationalization, Insolvency and Delisting:
  Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination); provided that in
addition to the provisions of Section 12.6(a)(iii) of the Equity Definitions, it
shall also constitute a Delisting if the Exchange is located in the United
States and the Shares are not immediately re-listed, re-traded or re-quoted on
any of the New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market or The
NASDAQ Global Market (or their respective successors); if the Shares are
immediately re-listed, re-traded or re-quoted on any such exchange or quotation
system, such exchange or quotation system shall be deemed to be the Exchange.
For the avoidance of doubt, the occurrence of any event that is a Merger Event
and would otherwise have been a Delisting will have the consequence specified
for the relevant Merger Event.
 
       
Additional Disruption Events:
       
 
       
Change in Law:
  Applicable; provided that Section 12.9(a)(ii) of the Equity Definitions is
hereby amended (i) by the replacement of the word “Shares” with “Hedge
Positions” in clause (X) thereof; (ii) by adding the phrase “or announcement”
immediately after the phrase “due to the promulgation” in the third line thereof
and adding the phrase “formal or informal” before the word “interpretation” in
the same line; and (iii) immediately following the word “Transaction” in clause
(X) thereof, adding the phrase “in the manner contemplated by the Hedging Party
on the Trade Date, unless the illegality is due to an act or omission of the
party seeking to elect termination of the Transaction”.

into or exchangeable for the Shares), in either case in violation of the U.S.
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).     (xiii)  
Counterparty’s filings under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, and other
applicable securities laws that are required to be filed have been filed and, as

(including engaging in derivative transactions) and any such repurchase has
been, or shall when so required be, publicly disclosed in its periodic filings
under the Exchange Act and its financial statements and notes thereto.     (xvi)

Miscellaneous:
Netting and Set-Off. The parties hereto agree that the Transaction shall not be
subject to netting or set off with any other transaction.
Qualified Financial Contracts. It is the intention of the parties that, in
respect of Counterparty, (a) the Transaction shall constitute a “qualified
financial contract” within the meaning of 12 U.S.C. Section 1821(e)(8)(D)(i) and
(b) a Non-defaulting Party’s rights under Sections 5 and 6 of the Agreement
constitute rights of the kind referred to in 12 U.S.C. Section 1821(e)(8)(A).
Method of Delivery. Whenever delivery of funds or other assets is required
hereunder by or to Counterparty, such delivery shall be effected through Agent.
In addition, all notices, demands and communications of any kind relating to the
Transaction between Deutsche and Counterparty shall be transmitted exclusively
through Agent.
Staggered Settlement. Deutsche may, by notice to Counterparty prior to any
Settlement Date (a “Nominal Settlement Date”), elect to deliver the Shares
deliverable on such Nominal Settlement Date on two or more dates

10

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(each, a “Staggered Settlement Date”) or at two or more times on the Nominal
Settlement Date as follows: (i) in such notice, Deutsche will specify to
Counterparty the related Staggered Settlement Dates (each of which will be on or
prior to such Nominal Settlement Date or delivery times and how it will allocate
the Shares it is required to deliver under “Net Share Settlement” above among
the Staggered Settlement Dates or delivery times; and (ii) the aggregate number
of Shares that Deutsche will deliver to Counterparty hereunder on all such
Staggered Settlement Dates and delivery times will equal the number of Shares
that Deutsche would otherwise be required to deliver on such Nominal Settlement
Date.
Additional Termination Events. The occurrence of (i) an “Event of Default” with
respect to Counterparty under the terms of the Convertible Notes as set forth in
Section 9.01 of the Indenture, (ii) an Amendment Event or (iii) a Repayment
Event shall be an Additional Termination Event, in each case with the
Transaction as the sole Affected Transaction and Counterparty as the sole
Affected Party and Deutsche as the party entitled to designate an Early
Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(a) of the Agreement; provided that in the
case of a Repayment Event the Transaction shall be subject to termination only
in respect of the portion of the Transaction corresponding to the number of
Convertible Notes subject to such Repayment Event.
“Amendment Event” means that Counterparty amends, modifies, supplements or
obtains a waiver with respect to any term of the Indenture or the Convertible
Notes if such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver has an adverse
effect on this Transaction or Deutsche’s ability to hedge all or a portion of
this Transaction, with such determination to be made in the sole discretion of
the Calculation Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, Counterparty electing to
increase the Conversion Rate pursuant to a Discretionary Adjustment shall not
constitute an Amendment Event.
“Repayment Event” means that (A) any Convertible Notes are repurchased (whether
in connection with or as a result of a change of control, howsoever defined, or
for any other reason) by Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries, (B) any
Convertible Notes are delivered to Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries in
exchange for delivery of any property or assets of Counterparty or any of its
subsidiaries (howsoever described), (C) any principal of any of the Convertible
Notes is repaid prior to the final maturity date of the Convertible Notes
(whether following acceleration of the Convertible Notes or otherwise), or
(D) any Convertible Notes are exchanged by or for the benefit of the holders
thereof for any other securities of Counterparty or any of its affiliates (or
any other property, or any combination thereof) pursuant to any exchange offer
or similar transaction; provided that, in the case of clause (B) and clause (D),
conversions of the Convertible Notes pursuant to the terms of the Indenture as
in effect on the date hereof shall not be Repayment Events.
Disposition of Hedge Shares. Counterparty hereby agrees that if, in the good
faith reasonable judgment of Deutsche, the Shares (the “Hedge Shares”) acquired
by Deutsche for the purpose of hedging its obligations pursuant to the
Transaction cannot be sold in the public market by Deutsche without registration
under the Securities Act, Counterparty shall, at its election: (i) in order to
allow Deutsche to sell the Hedge Shares in a registered offering, make available
to Deutsche an effective registration statement under the Securities Act to
cover the resale of such Hedge Shares and (A) enter into an agreement, in form
and substance satisfactory to Deutsche, substantially in the form of an
underwriting agreement for a registered offering, (B) provide accountant’s
“comfort” letters in customary form for registered offerings of equity
securities, (C) provide disclosure opinions of nationally recognized outside
counsel to Counterparty reasonably acceptable to Deutsche, (D) provide other
customary opinions, certificates and closing documents customary in form for
registered offerings of equity securities and (E) afford Deutsche a reasonable
opportunity to conduct a “due diligence” investigation with respect to
Counterparty customary in scope for underwritten offerings of equity securities;
provided, however, that if Deutsche, in its sole reasonable discretion, is not
satisfied with access to due diligence materials, the results of its due
diligence investigation, or the procedures and documentation for the registered
offering referred to above, then clause (ii) or clause (iii) of this paragraph
shall apply at the election of Counterparty; (ii) in order to allow Deutsche to
sell the Hedge Shares in a private placement, enter into a private placement
agreement substantially similar to private placement purchase agreements
customary for private placements of equity securities of its size, in form and
substance satisfactory to Deutsche, including customary representations,
covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations,
indemnities to Deutsche, due diligence rights (for Deutsche or any designated
buyer of the Hedge Shares from Deutsche), opinions and certificates and such
other documentation as is customary for private placements agreements of similar
size, all

11

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

reasonably acceptable to Deutsche (in which case, the Calculation Agent shall
make any adjustments to the terms of the Transaction that are necessary, in its
reasonable judgment, to compensate Deutsche for any discount from the public
market price of the Shares incurred on the sale of Hedge Shares in a private
placement); or (iii) purchase the Hedge Shares from Deutsche at the VWAP Price
on such Exchange Business Days, and in the amounts, requested by Deutsche. “VWAP
Price” means, on any Exchange Business Day, the per Share volume-weighted
average price as displayed under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP” on Bloomberg page
TSYS <equity> AQR (or any successor thereto) in respect of the period from 9:30
a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Exchange Business Day (or if such
volume-weighted average price is unavailable, the market value of one Share on
such Exchange Business Day, as determined by the Calculation Agent using a
volume-weighted method). This paragraph shall survive the termination,
expiration or early unwind of the Transaction.
Limitation On Delivery of Shares. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the
Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Counterparty be required to deliver
Shares in connection with the Transaction in excess of 7,827,600 Shares (the
“Maximum Delivery Amount”). Counterparty represents and warrants (which shall be
deemed to be repeated on each day that the Transaction is outstanding) that the
Maximum Delivery Amount is equal to or less than the number of authorized but
unissued Shares of Counterparty that are not reserved for future issuance in
connection with transactions in the Shares (other than the Transaction) on the
date of the determination of the Maximum Delivery Amount (such Shares, the
“Available Shares”). In the event Counterparty shall not have delivered the full
number of Shares otherwise deliverable as a result of this paragraph (the
resulting deficit, the “Deficit Shares”), Counterparty shall be continually
obligated to deliver, from time to time until the full number of Deficit Shares
have been delivered pursuant to this paragraph, Shares when, and to the extent,
that (i) Shares are repurchased, acquired or otherwise received by Counterparty
or any of its subsidiaries after the Trade Date (whether or not in exchange for
cash, fair value or any other consideration), (ii) authorized and unissued
Shares reserved for issuance in respect of other transactions prior to such date
which prior to the relevant date become no longer so reserved and
(iii) Counterparty additionally authorizes any unissued Shares that are not
reserved for other transactions. Counterparty shall immediately notify Deutsche
of the occurrence of any of the foregoing events (including the number of Shares
subject to clause (i), (ii) or (iii) and the corresponding number of Shares to
be delivered) and promptly deliver such Shares thereafter. Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 5(a)(ii) of the Agreement, in the event of a failure by
Counterparty to comply with the agreement set forth in this provision, there
shall be no grace period for remedy of such failure.
Status of Claims in Bankruptcy. Deutsche acknowledges and agrees that this
Confirmation is not intended to convey to Deutsche rights with respect to the
Transaction that are senior to the claims of common stockholders in any U.S.
bankruptcy proceedings of Counterparty; provided that nothing herein shall limit
or shall be deemed to limit Deutsche’s right to pursue remedies in the event of
a breach by Counterparty of its obligations and agreements with respect to the
Transaction; provided, further, that nothing herein shall limit or shall be
deemed to limit Deutsche’s rights in respect of any transactions other than the
Transaction.
No Collateral. Notwithstanding any provision of this Confirmation, the
Agreement, Equity Definitions, or any other agreement between the parties to the
contrary, the obligations of Counterparty under the Transaction are not secured
by any collateral.
Securities Contract; Swap Agreement. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge
that Deutsche is a “financial institution,” “swap participant” and “financial
participant” within the meaning of Sections 101(22), 101(53C) and 101(22A) of
the Bankruptcy Code. The parties hereto further agree and acknowledge (A) that
this Confirmation is (i) a “securities contract,” as such term is defined in
Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code, with respect to which each payment and
delivery hereunder or in connection herewith is a “termination value,” “payment
amount” or “other transfer obligation” within the meaning of Section 362 of the
Bankruptcy Code and a “settlement payment” or a “transfer” within the meaning of
Section 546 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (ii) a “swap agreement,” as such term is
defined in Section 101(53B) of the Bankruptcy Code, with respect to which each
payment and delivery hereunder or in connection herewith is a “termination
value,” a “payment amount” or “other transfer obligation” within the meaning of
Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and a “transfer” within the meaning of
Section 546 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (B) that Deutsche is entitled to the
protections afforded by, among other sections, Section 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17),
362(b)(27), 362(o), 546(e), 546(g), 546(j), 548(d)(2), 555, 560 and 561 of the
Bankruptcy Code.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Repurchase Notices. Counterparty shall, on any day on which Counterparty effects
any repurchase of Shares, provide Deutsche with a written notice of such
repurchase (a “Repurchase Notice”) on such day if, following such repurchase,
the Unit Equity Percentage as determined on such day is (a) equal to or greater
than 4.5% and (b) greater by 0.5% or more than the Unit Equity Percentage
included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice (or, in the case of the
first such Repurchase Notice, greater by 0.5% or more than the Unit Equity
Percentage as of the date hereof). The “Unit Equity Percentage” as of any day is
the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (i) the numerator of which is the
product of the Applicable Percentage, the number of Note Hedging Units and the
Note Hedging Unit Entitlement, and (ii) the denominator of which is the number
of Shares outstanding on such day. Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless Deutsche and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors,
employees, advisors, agents and controlling persons (each, a “Section 16
Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all losses (including losses
relating to Deutsche’s hedging activities as a consequence of becoming, or of
the risk of becoming, a Section 16 “insider”, including without limitation, any
forbearance from hedging activities or cessation of hedging activities and any
losses in connection therewith with respect to the Transaction), claims,
damages, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s
fees), joint or several, to which a Section 16 Indemnified Person may become
subject, as a result of Counterparty’s failure to provide Deutsche with a
Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this paragraph, and
to reimburse, upon written request, each of such Section 16 Indemnified Persons
for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with
investigating, preparing for, providing testimony or other evidence in
connection with or defending any of the foregoing. If any suit, action,
proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or
demand shall be brought or asserted against the Section 16 Indemnified Person,
such Section 16 Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Counterparty in
writing, and Counterparty, upon request of the Section 16 Indemnified Person,
shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Section 16 Indemnified
Person to represent the Section 16 Indemnified Person and any others
Counterparty may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and
expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. Counterparty shall be
relieved from liability to the extent that the Section 16 Indemnified Person
fails promptly to notify Counterparty of any action commenced against it in
respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder; provided that failure to
notify Counterparty (x) shall not relieve Counterparty from any liability
hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and
(y) shall not, in any event, relieve Counterparty from any liability that it may
have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. Counterparty shall
not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written
consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for
the plaintiff, Counterparty agrees to indemnify any Section 16 Indemnified
Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or
judgment. Counterparty shall not, without the prior written consent of the
Section 16 Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or
threatened proceeding in respect of which any Section 16 Indemnified Person is
or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by
such Section 16 Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an
unconditional release of such Section 16 Indemnified Person from all liability
on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding on terms reasonably
satisfactory to such Section 16 Indemnified Person. If the indemnification
provided for in this paragraph is unavailable to a Section 16 Indemnified Person
or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities
referred to therein, then Counterparty, in lieu of indemnifying such Section 16
Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by
such Section 16 Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages
or liabilities. The remedies provided for in this paragraph are not exclusive
and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to
any Section 16 Indemnified Person at law or in equity. The indemnity and
contribution agreements contained in this paragraph shall remain operative and
in full force and effect regardless of the termination of the Transaction.
Alternative Calculations and Deutsche Payment on Early Termination and on
Certain Extraordinary Events. If Deutsche owes Counterparty any amount in
connection with the Transaction pursuant to Sections 12.2, 12.3 (and
“Consequences of Merger Events” above), 12.6, 12.7 or 12.9 of the Equity
Definitions (except in the case of an Extraordinary Event in which the
consideration or proceeds to be paid to holders of Shares as a result of such
event consists solely of cash) or pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement
(except in the case of an Event of Default in which Counterparty is the
Defaulting Party or a Termination Event in which Counterparty is the Affected
Party, other than (x) an Event of Default of the type described in Section
5(a)(iii), (v), (vi) or (vii) of the Agreement or (y) a Termination Event of the
type described in Section 5(b)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) or (vi) of

13

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

the Agreement that in the case of either (x) or (y) resulted from an event or
events outside Counterparty’s control) (a “Deutsche Payment Obligation”),
Counterparty shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to require Deutsche
to satisfy any such Deutsche Payment Obligation by delivery of Termination
Delivery Units (as defined below) by giving irrevocable telephonic notice to
Deutsche, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day, between the
hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. New York time on the Early Termination Date or
other date the transaction is terminated, as applicable (“Notice of Deutsche
Termination Delivery”). Within a commercially reasonable period of time
following receipt of a Notice of Deutsche Termination Delivery, Deutsche shall
deliver to Counterparty a number of Termination Delivery Units having a cash
value equal to the amount of such Deutsche Payment Obligation (such number of
Termination Delivery Units to be delivered to be determined by the Calculation
Agent as the number of whole Termination Delivery Units that could be purchased
over a commercially reasonable period of time with the cash equivalent of such
payment obligation). If the provisions set forth in this paragraph are
applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.10, 9.11 (modified as
described above) and 9.12 of the Equity Definitions shall be applicable, except
that all references to “Shares” shall be read as references to “Termination
Delivery Units”.
“Termination Delivery Unit” means (a) in the case of a Termination Event, an
Event of Default or an Extraordinary Event (other than an Insolvency,
Nationalization or Merger Event), one Share or (b) in the case of an Insolvency,
Nationalization or Merger Event, a unit consisting of the number or amount of
each type of property received by a holder of one Share (without consideration
of any requirement to pay cash or other consideration in lieu of fractional
amounts of any securities) in such Insolvency, Nationalization or Merger Event.
If a Termination Delivery Unit consists of property other than cash or New
Shares and Counterparty provides irrevocable written notice to the Calculation
Agent on or prior to the Closing Date that it elects to receive cash, New Shares
or a combination thereof (in such proportion as Counterparty designates) in lieu
of such other property, the Calculation Agent shall replace such property with
cash, New Shares or a combination thereof as components of a Termination
Delivery Unit in such amounts, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its
discretion by commercially reasonable means, as shall have a value equal to the
value of the property so replaced. If such Insolvency, Nationalization or Merger
Event involves a choice of consideration to be received by holders, such holder
shall be deemed to have elected to receive the maximum possible amount of cash.
Rule 10b-18. Except as disclosed to Deutsche in writing prior to the date on
which the offering of the Convertible Notes was first announced, Counterparty
represents and warrants to Deutsche that it has not made any purchases of blocks
by or for itself or any of its Affiliated Purchasers pursuant to the one block
purchase per week exception in Rule 10b-18(b)(4) under the Exchange Act during
each of the four calendar weeks preceding, and during the week of, such date
(“Rule 10b-18 purchase,” “blocks” and “Affiliated Purchaser” each as defined in
Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act). Counterparty agrees and acknowledges that
it shall not, and shall cause its affiliates and Affiliated Purchasers not to,
directly or indirectly (including by means of a derivative instrument) enter
into any transaction to purchase any Shares during the period beginning on such
date and ending on the day on which Deutsche has informed Counterparty in
writing that it has completed all purchases of Shares or other transactions to
hedge initially its exposure to the Transaction.
Regulation M. Counterparty was not on the date on which the offering of the
Convertible Notes was first announced, has not since such date, and is not on
the date hereof, engaged in a distribution, as such term is used in Regulation M
under the Exchange Act, of any securities of Counterparty, other than a
distribution meeting the requirements of the exception set forth in
Sections 101(b)(10) and 102(b)(7) of Regulation M under the Exchange Act.
Counterparty shall not, until the day on which Deutsche has informed
Counterparty in writing that it has completed all purchases of Shares or other
transactions to hedge initially its exposure to the Transaction, engage in any
such distribution.
No Material Non-Public Information. On each day during the period beginning on
the date on which the offering of the Convertible Notes was first announced and
ending on the day on which Deutsche has informed Counterparty in writing that
Deutsche has completed all purchases of Shares or other transactions to hedge
initially its exposure with respect to the Transaction, Counterparty represents
and warrants to Deutsche that it is not aware of any material nonpublic
information concerning itself or the Shares.
Right to Extend. Deutsche may postpone any potential Exercise Date or postpone
or extend any other date of

14

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

valuation or delivery with respect to some or all of the relevant Note Hedging
Units (in which event the Calculation Agent shall make appropriate adjustments
to the Settlement Amount for such Note Hedging Units), if Deutsche determines,
in its reasonable discretion, that (a) a Regulatory Disruption has occurred or
(b) such extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate to (i) preserve
Deutsche’s hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing
liquidity conditions or (ii) enable Deutsche to effect purchases of Shares in
connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a
manner that would, if Deutsche were the Issuer or an affiliated purchaser of the
Issuer, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory
requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Deutsche.
“Regulatory Disruption” shall mean any event that Deutsche, in its commercially
reasonable discretion upon the advice of outside counsel, determines makes it
appropriate with regard to any legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements
or related policies and procedures (whether or not such requirements, policies
or procedures are imposed by law or have been voluntarily adopted by Deutsche,
and including without limitation Rule 10b-18, Rule 10b-5, Regulation 13D-G and
Regulation 14E under the Exchange Act and Regulation M and/or analyzing Deutsche
as if it were the Issuer or an affiliated purchaser of the Issuer), for Deutsche
to refrain from or decrease any market activity in connection with the
Transaction.
Transfer or Assignment. Counterparty may not transfer any of its rights or
obligations under the Transaction without the prior written consent of Deutsche.
Deutsche may transfer or assign all or a portion of its Note Hedging Units
hereunder at any time to any third party with a rating (or whose guarantor has a
rating) for its long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of A+ or
better by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services or its successor (“S&P”), or A1 or
better by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or its successor (“Moody’s”) or, if
either S&P or Moody’s ceases to rate such debt, at least an equivalent rating or
better by a substitute agency rating mutually agreed by Counterparty and
Deutsche, without the consent of Counterparty.
If, as determined in Deutsche’s sole discretion, (a) at any time (1) the Equity
Percentage exceeds 8.0%, (2) Deutsche, Deutsche Group (as defined below) or any
person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Deutsche or
Deutsche Group (Deutsche, Deutsche Group or any such person, a “Deutsche
Person”) under Sections 3-701 to 3-709 of the Maryland Control Share Acquisition
Act or other federal, state or local laws, regulations or regulatory orders
applicable to ownership of Shares (“Applicable Laws”), owns, beneficially owns,
constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a
relevant definition of ownership, or could be reasonably viewed as meeting any
of the foregoing, in excess of a number of Shares equal to (x) the number of
Shares that would give rise to reporting, registration, filing or notification
obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval by a state
or federal regulator) of a Deutsche Person under Applicable Laws and with
respect to which such requirements have not been met or the relevant approval
has not been received minus (y) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding on the
date of determination or (3) the number of “control shares” (as such term is
used in Section 3-701(d) of the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act) owned by
a Deutsche Person divided by the number of Counterparty’s outstanding Shares
(the “Control Share Percentage”) exceeds 8.0% (each of such conditions described
in clause (1), (2) or (3), an “Excess Ownership Position”), and (b) Deutsche is
unable, after commercially reasonable efforts, to effect a transfer or
assignment on pricing and terms and within a time period reasonably acceptable
to it of all or a portion of this Transaction pursuant to the preceding
paragraph such that an Excess Ownership Position no longer exists, Deutsche may
designate any Scheduled Trading Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to
a portion (the “Terminated Portion”) of this Transaction, such that an Excess
Ownership Position no longer exists following such partial termination. In the
event that Deutsche so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a
portion of this Transaction, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of
the Agreement as if (i) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect
of a Transaction having terms identical to this Transaction and a Number of Note
Hedging Units equal to the Terminated Portion, (ii) Counterparty shall be the
sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (iii) such
Transaction shall be the only Terminated Transaction (and, for the avoidance of
doubt, the provisions set forth under the caption “Alternative Calculations and
Deutsche Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events” shall
apply to any amount that is payable by Deutsche to Counterparty pursuant to this
sentence). The “Equity Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a
percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Deutsche and
any of its affiliates subject to aggregation with Deutsche for purposes of the
“beneficial ownership” test under Section 13 of the Exchange Act and all persons
who may form a “group” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the
Exchange Act) with Deutsche (collectively, “Deutsche Group”) “beneficially own”
(within the meaning of

15

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Section 13 of the Exchange Act) without duplication on such day and (B) the
denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary
requiring or allowing Deutsche to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any shares
or other securities to or from Counterparty, Deutsche may designate any of its
affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such shares or other securities
and otherwise to perform Deutsche’s obligations in respect of the Transaction
and any such designee may assume such obligations. Deutsche shall be discharged
of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such performance.
Severability; Illegality. If compliance by either party with any provision of
the Transaction would be unenforceable or illegal, (a) the parties shall
negotiate in good faith to resolve such unenforceability or illegality in a
manner that preserves the economic benefits of the transactions contemplated
hereby and (b) the other provisions of the Transaction shall not be invalidated,
but shall remain in full force and effect.
Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT,
ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THE TRANSACTION. EACH PARTY (I) CERTIFIES THAT
NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED,
EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF SUCH A
SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND
(II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTY HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO
THE TRANSACTION, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND
CERTIFICATIONS PROVIDED HEREIN.
Early Unwind. In the event the sale of Convertible Notes is not consummated with
the initial purchasers thereof for any reason by the close of business in New
York on November 16, 2009 (or such later date as agreed upon by the parties)
(November 16, 2009 or such later date as agreed upon being the “Early Unwind
Date”), the Transaction shall automatically terminate (the “Early Unwind”) on
the Early Unwind Date and (a) the Transaction and all of the respective rights
and obligations of Deutsche and Counterparty under the Transaction shall be
cancelled and terminated and (b) each party shall be released and discharged by
the other party from and agrees not to make any claim against the other party
with respect to any obligations or liabilities of the other party arising out of
and to be performed in connection with the Transaction either prior to or after
the Early Unwind Date; provided that Counterparty shall purchase from Deutsche
on the Early Unwind Date all Shares purchased by Deutsche or one or more of its
affiliates, and assume, or reimburse the cost of, derivatives and other hedging
activities entered into by Deutsche or one or more of its affiliates, in each
case, in connection with hedging of the Transaction and the unwind of such
hedging activities. The amount payable by Counterparty in cash or, as described
in the following sentence, in Shares, shall be Deutsche’s (or its affiliates)
actual cost of such Shares and unwind cost of such derivatives and other hedging
activities as Deutsche informs Counterparty and shall be paid in immediately
available funds on the Early Unwind Date. Counterparty may satisfy its
reimbursement obligation in cash or Shares, with the number of registered or
unregistered Shares to be delivered to be determined by the Calculation Agent as
the number of whole Shares that could be sold by Counterparty over a
commercially reasonable period of time with the cash equivalent of such payment
obligation; and provided that, to the extent that such Shares cannot be sold in
the public market without registration under the Securities Act, such Shares
shall be subject to the provisions under “Disposition of Hedge Shares” above, to
be applied to such Shares. Deutsche and Counterparty represent and acknowledge
to the other that, subject to the proviso included in the preceding sentence,
upon an Early Unwind, all obligations with respect to the Transaction shall be
deemed fully and finally discharged.
Payment by Counterparty. In the event that (i) an Early Termination Date occurs
or is designated with respect to the Transaction as a result of a Termination
Event or an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default arising under
Section 5(a)(ii) or 5(a)(iv) of the Agreement) and, as a result, Counterparty
owes to Dealer pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement an amount
calculated under Section 6(e) of the Agreement, or (ii) Counterparty owes to
Dealer, pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions
(including, for the avoidance of doubt, any amount payable in connection with an
Extraordinary Event), an amount calculated under Section 12.8 of the Equity
Definitions, such amount shall be deemed to be zero.
