that would make unavailable either (1) the exemption set forth in Section 4(2)

Purchaser to the Seller or (2) an exemption from the registration requirements
of the Securities Act reasonably acceptable to the Seller for resales of Private
Placement Shares by the Seller, or (B) in Registered Shares and fails to comply
with the requirements set forth in Section 3.01(f) or Annex B hereto; then in
the case of either (A) or (B), the Purchaser shall deliver in lieu of any

(determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the Private Placement
Procedures contained in Annex A hereto).

(f) If the Purchaser elects to make payment of the absolute value of the
Settlement Number in Registered Shares, then the Purchaser shall deliver to the

into account the Registered Shares Fee on the absolute value of the Settlement
Number. Such Settlement Shares shall be delivered in such numbers and on such
dates on or following the Valuation Completion Date as are specified by the
Seller in accordance with the Registration Procedures contained in Annex B
hereto.

Purchaser elects to deliver Private Placement Shares pursuant to Section 3.01(b)
or elects to deliver Alternative Termination Delivery Units pursuant to
Section 7.02(a), the Private Placement Procedures contained in Annex A hereto

MARKET TRANSACTIONS

Section 4.01. Transactions by the Seller. (a) The parties agree and acknowledge
that:

(i) During any Cash Settlement Purchase Period and any Seller Termination Share
Purchase Period, the Seller (or its agent or affiliate) may purchase shares of
Common Stock in connection with this Confirmation. The timing of such purchases
by the Seller, the price paid per share of Common Stock pursuant to such
purchases and the manner in which such purchases are made, including without
limitation whether such purchases are made on any securities exchange or
privately, shall be within the sole judgment of the Seller; provided that the
Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make all purchases of Common
Stock in a manner that would comply with the limitations set forth in clauses
(b)(2), (b)(3), (b)(4) and (c) of Rule 10b-18 (but without regard to clause
(a)(13)(iv) of Rule 10b-18) as if such rule were applicable to such purchases.

(ii) During the Valuation Period, the Seller (or its agent or affiliate) may
effect transactions in shares of Common Stock in connection with this
Confirmation. The timing of such transactions by the Seller, the price paid or
received per share of Common Stock pursuant to such transactions and the manner
in which such transactions are made, including without limitation whether such
transactions are made on any securities exchange or privately, shall be within
the sole judgment of the Seller; provided that the Seller shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to make all such transactions that are purchases of shares of
Common Stock in a manner that would comply with the limitations set forth in
clauses (b)(2), (b)(3), (b)(4) and (c) of Rule 10b-18 (but without regard to
clause (a)(13)(iv) of Rule 10b-18) as if such rule were applicable to such
purchases.

Valuation Period, any Cash Settlement Purchase Period and any Seller Termination
Share Purchase Period, notify the Seller of the total number of shares of Common
Stock, if any, purchased in Rule 10b-18 purchases of blocks pursuant to the
once-a-week block exception set forth in Rule 10b-18(b)(4) by or for the
Purchaser or any of its Affiliated Purchasers during each of the four calendar
weeks preceding such day and during the calendar week in which such day occurs
(“Rule 10b-18 purchase” and “blocks” each being used as defined in Rule 10b-18),
which notice shall be substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit A hereto.

(b) The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (i) all transactions effected
pursuant to Section 4.01 hereunder shall be made in the Seller’s sole judgment
and for the Seller’s own account and (ii) the Purchaser does not have, and shall
not attempt to exercise, any influence over how, when or whether to effect such
transactions, including, without limitation, the price paid or received per
share of Common Stock pursuant to such transactions whether such transactions
are made on any securities exchange or privately. It is the intent of the Seller
and the Purchaser that this Transaction comply with the requirements of Rule
10b5-1(c) of the Exchange Act and that this Confirmation shall be interpreted to
comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i)(B) and the Seller shall
take no action that results in the Transaction not so complying with such
requirements.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, the Purchaser
acknowledges and agrees that, on any day, the Seller shall not be obligated to
deliver or receive any shares of Common Stock to or from the Purchaser and the
Purchaser shall not be entitled to receive any shares of Common Stock from the
Seller on such day, to the extent (but only to the extent) that after such
transactions the Seller’s ultimate parent entity would directly or indirectly
beneficially own (as such term is defined for purposes of Section 13(d) of the
Exchange Act) at any time on such day in excess of 8.5% of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock. Any purported receipt or delivery of shares of Common
Stock shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent)
that after any receipt or delivery of such shares of Common Stock the Seller’s
ultimate parent entity would directly or indirectly so beneficially own in
excess of 8.5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. If, on any day, any
delivery or receipt of shares of Common Stock by the Seller is not effected, in
whole or in part, as a result of this provision, the Seller’s and Purchaser’s
respective obligations to make or accept such receipt or delivery shall not be

 

8

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

extinguished and such receipt or delivery shall be effected over time as
promptly as the Seller determines, in the reasonable determination of the
Seller, that after such receipt or delivery its ultimate parent entity would not
directly or indirectly beneficially own in excess of 8.5% of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock.

Section 4.02. Adjustment of Transaction for Securities Laws. (a) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in Section 4.01(a), if, based on the advice of counsel,
the Seller reasonably determines that on any Scheduled Trading Day, the Seller’s
trading activity in order to manage its economic hedge in respect of the
Transaction would not be advisable in respect of applicable securities laws,
then the Seller may suspend such trading activity on such day (such day, a
“Disrupted Day”). If a Disrupted Day occurs and the Seller does not elect to
treat such Disrupted Day as a Trading Day pursuant to clause (y) of the
definition of Trading Day, the Seller may extend the Expiration Date, modify the
Valuation Period or otherwise adjust the terms of the Transaction in its good
faith, commercially reasonable discretion to ensure the Seller’s compliance with
such laws and to preserve the fair value of the Transaction to the Seller. The
Seller shall notify the Purchaser of the exercise of the Seller’s rights
pursuant to this Section 4.02(a) upon such exercise and, upon request, shall
provide the Purchaser with a schedule setting forth in reasonable detail the
basis of any adjustment made to the Transaction pursuant to this Section 4.02(a)
(it being understood that the Seller shall not be obligated to disclose any
proprietary models used by it for purposes of determining such adjustment).

(b) The Purchaser agrees that, during the Contract Period, neither the Purchaser
nor any of its affiliates or agents shall make any distribution (as defined in
Regulation M) of Common Stock, or any security for which the Common Stock is a
reference security (as defined in Regulation M) unless it shall have provided
written notice to the Seller of such distribution (a “Distribution Notice”) not
later than one Scheduled Trading Day prior to the beginning of the related
restricted period (as defined in Regulation M). If the Purchaser provides a
Distribution Notice to the Seller, the Purchaser shall provide a written notice
to the Seller of the conclusion of the related restricted period (as defined in
Regulation M) not later than one Scheduled Trading Day following the last day of
such restricted period; provided that if no such notice is received by the
Seller within 20 Scheduled Trading Days of the first day of such restricted
period, an Additional Termination Event shall occur on such Scheduled Trading
Day in respect of which the Purchaser is the sole Affected Party and this
Transaction is the sole Affected Transaction. The Purchaser acknowledges that
such notice may cause a Disrupted Day to occur pursuant to Section 4.02(a);
accordingly, the Purchaser acknowledges that such notice must comply with the
standards set forth in Section 5.01(b) below.

Section 4.03. Purchases of Common Stock by the Purchaser. Without the prior
written consent of the Seller, the Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its
affiliates and affiliated purchasers (each as defined in Rule 10b-18) not to,
directly or indirectly (including, without limitation, by means of a derivative
instrument) purchase, offer to purchase, place any bid or limit order that would
effect a purchase of, or commence any tender offer relating to, any shares of
Common Stock (or equivalent interest, including a unit of beneficial interest in
a trust or limited partnership or a depository share) or any security
convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock during the Contract
Period.

information regarding the Purchaser or the Common Stock.

(b) Rule 10b5-1. The Purchaser acknowledges that (i) the Purchaser does not
have, and shall not attempt to exercise, any influence over how, when or whether
to effect purchases of Common Stock by the Seller (or its agent or affiliate) in
connection with this Confirmation and (ii) the Purchaser is entering into the
Agreement and this Confirmation in good faith and not as part of a plan or
scheme to evade compliance with federal securities laws including, without
limitation, Rule 10b-5 promulgated under the Exchange Act. The Purchaser also
acknowledges and agrees that any amendment, modification, waiver or termination
of this Confirmation must be effected in accordance with the requirements for
the amendment or termination of a “plan” as defined in Rule 10b5-1(c) under the
Exchange Act. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any such
amendment, modification, waiver or termination shall be made in good faith and
not as part of a plan or scheme to evade the prohibitions of Rule 10b-5 under
the Exchange Act, and no amendment, modification or waiver shall be made at any
time at which the Purchaser is aware of any material nonpublic information
regarding the Purchaser or the Common Stock.

(c) Nature of Shares Delivered. Any shares of Common Stock or Alternative
Termination Delivery Units delivered to the Seller pursuant to this
Confirmation, when delivered, shall have been duly authorized and shall be duly
and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free of preemptive or
similar rights, and such delivery shall pass title thereto free and clear of any
liens or encumbrances.

(d) No Manipulation. The Purchaser is not entering into this Confirmation to
create actual or apparent trading activity in the Common Stock (or any security
convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock) or to manipulate the price of
the Common Stock (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for Common
Stock).

(e) Regulation M. The Purchaser is not engaged in, and is not currently
contemplating engaging in, a distribution, as such term is used in Regulation M,
that would preclude purchases by the Purchaser or the Seller of the Common
Stock.

(f) Board Authorization. The Purchaser is entering into this Transaction in
connection with its share repurchase program, which was approved by its board of
directors and publicly disclosed.

(g) Due Authorization and Good Standing. The Purchaser is a corporation duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
Delaware. This Confirmation has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by
the Purchaser and (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by
the Seller) constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Purchaser.
The Purchaser has all corporate power to enter into this Confirmation and to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to purchase the Common Stock
and deliver any Settlement Shares in accordance with the terms hereof.

(h) Certain Transactions. There has not been any public announcement (as defined
in Rule 165(f) under the Securities Act) of any merger, acquisition, or similar
transaction involving a recapitalization relating to the Purchaser that would
fall within the scope of Rule 10b-18(a)(13)(iv), where such announcement was
within the Purchaser’s control and where such transaction has not been completed
or the vote by target shareholders has not been completed.

Section 5.02. Initial Representations, Warranties and Agreements of the
Purchaser. The Purchaser represents and warrants to, and agrees with the Seller,
as of the date hereof, that:

(a) Solvency. The assets of the Purchaser at their fair valuation exceed the
liabilities of the Purchaser, including contingent liabilities; the capital of
the Purchaser is adequate to conduct the business of the Purchaser and the
Purchaser has the ability to pay its debts and obligations as such debts mature
and does not intend to, or does not believe that it will, incur debt beyond its

obligations under this Transaction. The Seller represents that JPMS is
authorized to act as agent for the Seller.

the authority to advise, the other party as to whether or not the other party
should enter into this Transaction, any subsequent actions relating to this
Transaction or any other matters relating to this Transaction. Neither party
shall have any responsibility or liability whatsoever in respect of any advice

ADDITIONAL COVENANTS

Section 6.01. [Reserved.]

Section 6.02. Purchaser’s Hedging Transactions. The Purchaser hereby agrees with
the Seller that the Purchaser shall not, during the Contract Period, enter into
or alter any corresponding or hedging transaction or position with respect to
the Common Stock (including, without limitation, with respect to any securities
convertible or exchangeable into the Common Stock).

Section 6.03. No Communications. The Purchaser hereby agrees with the Seller
that the Purchaser shall not, directly or indirectly, communicate any
information relating to the Common Stock or this Transaction (including any
notices required by Section 6.05) to any employee of the Seller or J.P. Morgan
Securities LLC, other than as set forth in the Communications Procedures
attached as Annex C hereto.

Section 6.04. Maximum Deliverable Number of Shares of Common Stock.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Confirmation, the Purchaser
shall not be required to deliver Settlement Shares, or shares of Common Stock or
other securities comprising the aggregate Alternative Termination Delivery
Units, in excess of the Purchaser Share Cap, in each case except to the extent
that the Purchaser has available at such time authorized but unissued shares of
such Common Stock or other securities not expressly reserved for any other uses
(including, without limitation, shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance
upon the exercise of options or convertible debt). The Purchaser shall not
permit the sum of (i) the Purchaser Share Cap plus (ii) the aggregate number of
shares expressly reserved for any such other uses, in each case whether
expressed as caps or as numbers of shares reserved or otherwise, to exceed at
any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Confirmation, the Seller shall
not be required to deliver Settlement Shares, or shares of Common Stock or other
securities comprising the aggregate Alternative Termination Delivery Units, in
excess of the Seller Share Cap.

Section 6.05. Notice of Certain Transactions. If at any time during the Contract
Period, the Purchaser makes, or expects to be made, or has made, any public
announcement (as defined in Rule 165(f) under the Securities Act) of any merger,
acquisition, or similar transaction involving a recapitalization relating to the
Purchaser (other than any such transaction in which the consideration consists
solely of cash and there is no valuation period, or as to which the completion
of such transaction or the completion of the vote by target shareholders has
occurred), then the Purchaser shall (i) notify the Seller prior to the opening
of trading in the Common Stock on any day on which the Purchaser makes, or
expects to be made, or has made any such public announcement, (ii) notify the
Seller promptly following any such announcement (or, if later, prior to the
opening of trading in the Common Stock on the first day of any Seller
Termination Share Payment Period) that such announcement has been made and
(iii) promptly deliver to the Seller following the making of any such
announcement (or, if later, prior to the opening of trading in the

 

12

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

Common Stock on the first day of any Seller Termination Share Payment Period) a
certificate indicating (A) the Purchaser’s average daily Rule 10b-18 purchases
(as defined in Rule 10b-18) during the three full calendar months preceding the
date of such announcement and (B) the Purchaser’s block purchases (as defined in
Rule 10b-18) effected pursuant to paragraph (b)(4) of Rule 10b-18 during the
three full calendar months preceding the date of such announcement. In addition,
the Purchaser shall promptly notify the Seller of the earlier to occur of the
completion of such transaction and the completion of the vote by target
shareholders. Accordingly, the Purchaser acknowledges that its actions in
relation to any such announcement or transaction must comply with the standards
set forth in Section 6.03.

Section 6.06. Delivery or Receipt of Cash. For the avoidance of doubt, other
than payment of the Purchase Price by the Purchaser, nothing in this
Confirmation shall be interpreted as requiring the Purchaser to cash settle this
Transaction, except in circumstances where cash settlement is within the
Purchaser’s control (including, without limitation, where the Purchaser elects
to deliver or receive cash, where the Purchaser fails timely to elect to deliver
Settlement Shares or to deliver or receive Alternative Termination Delivery
Units, or where the Purchaser has made Private Placement settlement in
accordance with Annex A unavailable due to the occurrence of events within its
control ) or in those circumstances in which holders of the Common Stock would
also receive cash.

ARTICLE 7

TERMINATION

Section 7.01. Additional Termination Events. (a) An Additional Termination Event
shall occur in respect of which the Purchaser is the sole Affected Party and
this Transaction is the sole Affected Transaction if, on any day, the Seller
determines, in its commercially reasonable judgment, that it is unable, after
using commercially reasonable efforts, to establish, re-establish or maintain
any hedging transactions reasonably necessary in the normal course of such
party’s business to hedge the price and market risk of entering into and
performing its obligations under this Transaction, due to market illiquidity,
illegality or lack of availability of hedging transaction market participants.

(b) An Additional Termination Event shall occur in respect of which the
Purchaser is the sole Affected Party and this Transaction is the sole Affected
Transaction if (i) a Share De-listing Event occurs; (ii) a Merger Event occurs;
(iii) a Nationalization occurs, (iv) a Distribution Termination Event occurs or
(v) an event described in the last sentence of paragraph III of Annex C occurs.

(c) A “Share De-listing Event” means that at any time during the Contract
Period, the Common Stock ceases to be listed, traded or publicly quoted on the
Exchange for any reason (other than a Merger Event, a “De-Listing”) and is not
immediately re-listed, traded or quoted as of the date of such de-listing, on
another U.S. national securities exchange or a U.S. automated interdealer
quotation system (a “Successor Exchange”). If the Common Stock is immediately
re-listed, traded or quoted on a Successor Exchange upon its De-Listing from the
Exchange, then the Successor Exchange shall be deemed to be the Exchange for all
purposes.

(d) A “Merger Event” means the public announcement, including any public
announcement as defined in Rule 165(f) of the Securities Act (by the Purchaser
or otherwise) at any time during the Contract Period of any (i) planned
recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock that will, if
consummated, result in a transfer of more than 20% of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock, (ii) planned consolidation, amalgamation, merger or similar
transaction of the Purchaser with or into another entity (other than a
consolidation, amalgamation or merger in which the Purchaser will be the
continuing entity and which does not result in any such recapitalization,
reclassification or change of more than 20% of such shares outstanding),
(iii) other takeover offer for the shares of Common Stock that is aimed at
resulting in a transfer of more than 20% of such shares of Common Stock (other
than such shares owned or controlled by the offeror) or (iv) irrevocable
commitment to any of the foregoing.

 

13

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

(e) A “Nationalization” means that all or substantially all of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock or assets of the Purchaser are nationalized, expropriated
or are otherwise required to be transferred to any governmental agency,
authority or entity.

(f) A “Distribution Termination Event” means a declaration by the Purchaser of
any cash dividend or distribution on shares of Common Stock (a “Cash
Distribution”), that has a record date during the Contract Period, the amount of
which, together with all prior declared Cash Distributions that have a record
date during the same Reference Period of the Purchaser, exceeds the Cash
Distribution Amount specified in the Pricing Supplement for such Reference
Period.

Section 7.02. Consequences of Additional Termination Events. (a) In the event of
the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date under the
Agreement, cash settlement, as set forth in Section 7.02(b), shall apply unless
(i) the Purchaser elects (which election shall be binding), in lieu of payment
or receipt, as applicable, of the amount payable in respect of this Transaction
pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (the “Termination Amount”), to
deliver or to receive Alternative Termination Delivery Units pursuant to
Section 7.03, and (ii) notifies the Seller of such election by delivery of
written notice to the Seller on the Business Day immediately following the
Purchaser’s receipt of a notice (as required by Section 6(d) of the Agreement
following the designation of an Early Termination Date in respect of this
Transaction) setting forth the amounts payable by the Purchaser or by the Seller
with respect to such Early Termination Date (the date of such delivery, the
“Default Notice Day”); provided that the Purchaser shall not have the right to
elect the delivery or receipt of the Alternative Termination Delivery Units
pursuant to Section 7.03 if:

(i) the representations and warranties made by the Purchaser to the Seller in
Section 5.01 are not true and correct as of the date the Purchaser makes such
election, as if made on such date, or

(ii) in the event that the Termination Amount is payable by the Purchaser to the
Seller, (A) the Purchaser has taken any action that would make unavailable
(x) the exemption set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, for the sale
of any Alternative Termination Delivery Units by the Purchaser to the Seller or
(y) an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act
reasonably acceptable to the Seller for resales of Alternative Termination
Delivery Units by the Seller, and (B) such Early Termination Date is in respect
of an Event of Default which is within Purchaser’s control (including, without
limitation, failure to execute a Private Placement Agreement or otherwise comply
with the requirements applicable to Purchaser set forth in Annex A hereto).

For the avoidance of doubt, upon the Purchaser’s making an election to deliver
Alternative Termination Delivery Units pursuant to this Section 7.02(a), the
Purchaser shall be deemed to make the representations and warranties in
Section 5.01 hereof as if made on the date of the Purchaser’s election.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to the time the Seller (or any
affiliate of the Seller) has contracted to resell the property to be delivered
upon alternative termination settlement, the Purchaser may deliver in lieu of
such property an amount in cash equal to the Termination Amount in the manner
set forth in Section 6(d) of the Agreement.

(b) If cash settlement applies in respect of an Early Termination Date,
Section 6 of the Agreement shall apply.

Section 7.03. Alternative Termination Settlement. (a) Subject to
Section 7.02(a), if the Termination Amount shall be payable by the Purchaser to
the Seller and the Purchaser elects to deliver the Alternative Termination
Delivery Units to the Seller, the Purchaser shall, as soon as directed by the
Seller after the Default Notice Day (such date, the “Termination Settlement
Date”), deliver to the Seller a number of Alternative Termination Delivery Units
equal to the quotient of (A) the Termination Amount divided by (B) the
Termination Price.

(b) Subject to Section 7.02(a), if the Termination Amount shall be payable by
the Seller to the Purchaser and the Purchaser elects to receive the Alternative
Termination Delivery Units from the Seller, (i) the

 

14

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

Seller shall, beginning on the first Trading Day following the Default Notice
Day and ending when the Seller shall have satisfied its obligations under this
clause (the “Seller Termination Share Purchase Period”), purchase (subject to
the provisions of Section 4.01 and Section 4.02 hereof) a number of Alternative
Termination Delivery Units equal to the quotient of (A) the Termination Amount
divided by (B) the Termination Price; and (ii) the Seller shall deliver such
Alternative Termination Delivery Units to the Purchaser on the settlement dates
relating to such purchases.

Section 7.04. Notice of Default. If an Event of Default occurs in respect of a
party, such party will, promptly upon becoming aware of it, notify the other
party specifying the nature of such Event of Default.

ARTICLE 8

ADJUSTMENTS

Section 8.01. [Reserved.]

Section 8.02. Other Dilution Adjustments. If (x) any corporate event occurs as a
direct result of an action by the Purchaser having a dilutive or concentrative
effect on the theoretical value of the Common Stock (other than any cash
dividend but including, without limitation, a spin-off, a stock split, stock or
other dividend or distribution, reorganization, rights offering or
recapitalization), or (y) as a result of the definition of Trading Day (whether
because of a suspension of transactions pursuant to Section 4.02 or otherwise),
any day that would otherwise be a Trading Day during the Contract Period is not
a Trading Day or on such Trading Day, pursuant to Section 4.02, the Seller
effects transactions with respect to shares of Common Stock at a volume lower
than originally anticipated with respect to this Transaction, or (z) as a result
of market conditions, the Seller incurs additional costs in connection with
maintaining its hedge position with respect to this Transaction resulting from
the insufficient availability of stock lenders willing and able to lend shares
of Common Stock with a borrow cost not greater than 50 basis points per annum,
then in any such case, the Calculation Agent shall make corresponding,
commercially reasonable adjustments with respect to any variable relevant to the
terms of the Transaction (but without duplication of any adjustment made with
respect thereto pursuant to Section 4.02), as the Calculation Agent determines,
in its commercially reasonable judgment, appropriate to preserve the fair value
of the Transaction to the Seller, and shall determine, in its commercially
reasonable judgment, the effective date of such adjustment. The Seller shall
notify the Purchaser of the exercise of the Seller’s rights pursuant to this
Section 8.02 upon such exercise and, upon request, shall provide the Purchaser
with a schedule setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of any adjustment
made to the Transaction pursuant to this Section 8.02 (it being understood that
the Seller shall not be obligated to disclose any proprietary models used by it
for purposes of determining such adjustment).

ARTICLE 9

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 9.01. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this
Confirmation made by or on behalf of either of the parties hereto shall bind and
inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties
hereto whether so expressed or not.

Party”) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Seller and its officers,
directors, employees, affiliates, advisors, agents and controlling persons
(each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all losses, claims,
damages and liabilities, joint or several (collectively, “Obligations”), to
which an Indemnified Person may become subject arising directly out of or
directly in connection with any breach of any representation or warranty made or
repeated or deemed to have been made or repeated by the Purchaser in this
Confirmation or the Agreement, or any failure by the Purchaser to comply with or
perform any agreement or obligation to be complied with or performed by the
Purchaser pursuant to this Confirmation or the Agreement, or any claim,
litigation, investigation or proceeding relating thereto, regardless

 

15

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

of whether any of such Indemnified Person is a party thereto, and to reimburse,
within 30 days, following Purchaser’s receipt of a written request therefor,
each such Indemnified Person for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred
in connection with investigating, preparation for, providing evidence for or
defending any of the foregoing, provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party
shall not have any liability to any Indemnified Person to the extent that such
Obligations (i) are finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to
have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such
Indemnified Person (and in such case, such Indemnified Person shall promptly
return to the Indemnifying Party any amounts previously expended by the
Indemnifying Party hereunder) or (ii) are trading losses incurred by the Seller
as part of its purchases or sales of shares of Common Stock pursuant to this
Confirmation (unless, and to the extent that, the losses are directly related to

Section 9.03. Assignment and Transfer. Notwithstanding any other provision in
this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Seller to purchase,
sell, receive or deliver any shares of Common Stock or other securities to or
from the Purchaser, Seller may designate any of its affiliates to purchase,
sell, receive or deliver such shares of Common Stock or other securities and
otherwise to perform the Seller’s obligations in respect of this Transaction and
any such designee may assume such obligations; provided that the Seller shall be
discharged of its obligations to the Purchaser only to the extent of such
performance. The Seller may assign the right to receive Settlement Shares to any
third party who may legally receive Settlement Shares. For the avoidance of
doubt, Seller hereby acknowledges that notwithstanding any such designation
hereunder, to the extent any of Seller’s obligations in respect of this
Transaction are not completed by its designee, Seller shall be obligated to
continue to perform or to cause any other of its designees to perform in respect
of such obligations.

Section 9.04. Calculation Agent. Whenever the Calculation Agent is permitted or
required to act or to exercise judgment in any way with respect to this

acknowledge and agree that, subject to Section 6.03, each is authorized to

hereby to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, and there are no
express or implied agreements, arrangements or understandings to the contrary.

Section 9.06. Unenforceability and Invalidity. To the extent permitted by law,
the unenforceability or invalidity of any provision or provisions of this

the Agreement, or any other agreement between the parties, to the contrary, the
obligations of the Purchaser hereunder are not secured by any collateral.
Obligations under this Transaction shall not be netted, recouped or set off
(including pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement) against any other obligations
of the parties, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation, under
any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or
otherwise, and no other obligations of the parties shall be netted, recouped or
set off (including pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement) against obligations

ANNEX A

PRIVATE PLACEMENT PROCEDURES

I. Introduction

R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Purchaser”) and J.P.
Morgan Securities LLC, as agent for JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association,
London Branch (the “Seller”) have agreed to these procedures (the “Private
Placement Procedures”) in connection with entering into the Confirmation (the
“Confirmation”) dated as of May 5, 2011 between JPMorgan and the Purchaser
relating to the sale by JPMorgan to the Purchaser of common stock, par value
$1.25 per share, or security entitlements in respect thereof (the “Common
Stock”) of the Purchaser. These Private Placement Procedures supplement, form
part of, and are subject to the Confirmation and all terms used and not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the
Confirmation.

II. Procedures

If the Purchaser elects to deliver Private Placement Shares pursuant to
Section 3.01(b) of the Confirmation or, in the case of Alternative Termination
Delivery Units that constitute “securities” within the meaning of the Securities
Act, elects to deliver Alternative Termination Delivery Units pursuant to

agreements customary for private placements of equity securities of similar size
by similar issuers on commercially reasonable terms and in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Seller (or such affiliate) and the Purchaser and
(without limitation of the foregoing) shall:

and warranties (to and from the Seller or such affiliate, and if requested by

Purchaser’s filings under the Exchange Act).

the case of alternative termination settlement, the Termination Price) in its
good faith judgment by commercially reasonable means, which may include (without
limitation):

(i) basing such price on indicative bids from investors;

commission or any similar fees or expenses to be retained by the Seller (or such
affiliate); and

(iii) providing for the payment by the Purchaser of all reasonable fees and
expenses in connection with such sale and resale, including all reasonable fees
and expenses of outside counsel for the Seller or such affiliate (which outside

required to be delivered by the Purchaser and the Private Placement Price (or,
in the case of alternative termination settlement, the Termination Price) by
6:00 p.m. on the day such price is determined.

make unavailable either (i) the exemption set forth in Section 4(2) of the

Seller or (ii) an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act reasonably acceptable to the Seller for resales of Private Securities by the
Seller.

ANNEX B

REGISTRATION PROCEDURES

I. Introduction

R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Purchaser”) and J.P.
Morgan Securities LLC, as agent for JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association,
London Branch (the “Seller”) have agreed to these procedures (the “Registration
Procedures”) in connection with entering into the Confirmation (the
“Confirmation”) dated as of May 5, 2011 between JPMorgan and the Purchaser
relating to the sale by JPMorgan to the Purchaser of common stock, par value
$1.25 per share, or security entitlements in respect thereof (the “Common
Stock”) of the Counterparty. These Registration Procedures supplement, form part
of, and are subject to the Confirmation and all terms used and not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Confirmation.

II. Procedures

If the Purchaser elects to deliver Registered Shares pursuant to Section 3.01(b)
of the Confirmation, the Purchaser shall effect such delivery in compliance with
the registration procedures provided herein.

(a) The Purchaser shall take all actions within its control to make available to
the Seller and its affiliates an effective primary registration statement under
the Securities Act and one or more prospectuses as necessary or advisable to
allow the Seller and its affiliates to comply with the applicable prospectus
delivery requirements (the “Prospectus”) for the sale by Seller or its
affiliates of the Registered Shares to be delivered by the Purchaser pursuant to
the Confirmation (the “Registration Statement”), such Registration Statement to
be effective and Prospectus to be current until all such sales by the Seller (or
its affiliates) have been settled.

(b) The Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the
issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any Prospectus
and, if any such order is issued, to obtain the lifting thereof as soon
thereafter as is reasonably possible. If the Registration Statement, the
Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference contains a
misstatement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make any statement therein not misleading, the
Purchaser shall as promptly as reasonably practicable file any required document
and prepare and furnish to the Seller a reasonable number of copies of such
supplement or amendment thereto as may be necessary so that the Prospectus, as
thereafter delivered to the purchasers in connection with sales of Registered
Shares thereunder, will not contain any misstatement of a material fact or omit
to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make any
statement therein not misleading.

(c) The Purchaser shall afford the Seller (and its agents and affiliates) a
reasonable opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation with respect to
the Purchaser customary in scope for registered offerings of such type of
securities (including, without limitation, the availability of senior management
and external advisors to respond to questions regarding the business and
financial condition of the Purchaser and the right to have made available to
them for inspection all financial and other records, pertinent corporate
documents and other information reasonably requested by them), and such
opportunity and the resolution of any disclosure issues arising from such due
diligence investigation of the Purchaser shall be satisfactory to Seller in all
material respects. The Purchaser shall reimburse the Seller for all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses it incurs in connection with such diligence and otherwise
in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement and Prospectus,
including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of one outside
counsel to the Seller incurred in connection therewith.

(d) The Purchaser shall enter into an agreement (a “Registration Agreement”)
with the Seller (or any affiliate of the Seller designated by the Seller)
providing for the registration of the Registered Shares, which agreement shall
be on commercially reasonable terms and in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Purchaser and the Seller (or such affiliate) and (without
limitation of the foregoing) shall:

(i) contain customary conditions, and customary undertakings, representations
and warranties (to the Purchaser and the Seller or such affiliate);

 

B-1

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

(ii) contain customary indemnification and contribution provisions in connection
with the potential liability of the Seller and its affiliates relating to the
sale by the Seller (or such affiliate) of the Registered Shares;

(iii) provide for the delivery of related certificates and representations,
warranties and agreements of the Purchaser;

(iv) provide for the delivery of accountants’ “comfort letters” to the Seller in
form and substance satisfactory to the Seller, containing statements and
information of the type customarily included in such letters to “underwriters”
with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information
contained, or incorporated by reference, in the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus; and

(v) provide for the delivery to the Seller (or such affiliate) of customary
opinions, including, without limitation, opinions relating to the due
authorization, valid issuance and fully paid and non-assessable nature of the
Registered Shares and the lack of material misstatements and omissions in the
Registration Statement (including any documents incorporated by reference
therein).

(e) The Seller shall notify the Purchaser of the numbers of Registered Shares to
be delivered by the Purchaser on the Settlement Dates, as necessary in light of
the Seller’s unwinding of its hedge positions in connection with the Transaction
and sales of Registered Shares in accordance with these Registration Procedures,
and the Purchaser shall deliver such Shares to the Seller on such Settlement
Dates. The parties understand and acknowledge that (i) the Seller or its
affiliates expect to make contemporaneous or nearly contemporaneous
(A) purchases of Common Stock to unwind its hedge and (B) sales of Registered
Shares in accordance with these Registration Procedures, (ii) the Seller or its
affiliates intend to make such sales of Registered Shares in a manner that is
not a distribution for purposes of Regulation M, and (iii) accordingly, the
length of the period during which the Seller or its affiliates make such
purchases and sales will depend in part on prevailing trading volumes for the
Common Stock.

(f) In the event that (i) the Purchaser fails to comply with the requirements
set forth in this Annex B, (ii) the Registration Statement is not effective on
or prior to the date that is 30 days after the Valuation Completion Date, or
fails to remain effective until all Registered Shares have been sold hereunder,
(ii) the opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation with respect to
the Purchaser and the resolution of any issues arising therefrom is not
reasonably satisfactory to the Seller (or its designated affiliate) in all
material respects, or does not continue to be reasonably satisfactory to the
Seller (or such designated affiliate) in all material respects until all
Registered Shares have been sold hereunder, (iv) the Seller (or such designated
affiliate) is not able to make sales of Registered Shares in a manner that
permits the contemporaneous or nearly contemporaneous purchase by the Seller or
its affiliates of Common Stock in accordance with Regulation M or (v) the
Registration Procedures otherwise become unavailable for the sale by the Seller
and its affiliates of the Registered Shares delivered by the Purchaser hereunder
prior to the completion of the sale thereof, then in any such event, the
provisions of Section 3.01(d) of the Confirmation providing for cash settlement
with respect to any unsold Registered Shares shall apply, appropriately modified
to take into account any Registered Shares theretofore delivered and sold
pursuant to these Registration Procedures.

part of, and are subject to the Confirmation.

II. Communications Rules

From the date hereof until the end of the Contract Period, Counterparty and its
Employees and Designees shall not engage in any Program-Related Communication
with, or disclose any Material Non-Public Information to, any EDG Trading
Personnel. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, the Confirmation shall
not limit Counterparty and its Employees and Designees in their communication

Employees who are EDG Permitted Contacts.

III. Termination

If, in the sole judgment of any EDG Trading Personnel or any affiliate or
Employee of JPMorgan participating in any Communication with Counterparty or any
Employee or Designee of Counterparty, such Communication would not be permitted
by these Communications Procedures, such EDG Trading Personnel or affiliate or
Employee of JPMorgan shall immediately terminate such Communication. In such
case, or if such EDG Trading Personnel or affiliate or Employee of JPMorgan
determines following completion of any Communication with Counterparty or any
Employee or Designee of Counterparty that such Communication was not permitted
by these Communications Procedures, such EDG Trading Personnel or such affiliate
or Employee of JPMorgan shall promptly consult with his or her supervisors and
with counsel for JPMorgan regarding such Communication. If, in the reasonable
judgment of JPMorgan’s counsel following such consultation, there is more than
an insignificant risk that such Communication could materially jeopardize the
availability of the affirmative defenses provided in Rule 10b5-1 under the
Exchange Act with respect to any ongoing or contemplated activities of JPMorgan
or its affiliates in respect of the Confirmation, it shall be an Additional
Termination Event with respect to the Confirmation.
