	Re:	  	 Base Issuer Warrant Transaction
 (Transaction Reference Number: NY - 40065)

		
	Date:	  	March 25, 2010

  
  
 Dear Sir(s): 
 The purpose of this communication (this “Confirmation”) is to set forth the terms and conditions of the above-referenced
transaction entered into on the Trade Date specified below (the “Transaction”) between Bank of America, N.A. (“Dealer”) and SunPower Corporation (“Counterparty”). This communication constitutes a
“Confirmation” as referred to in the Agreement specified below. 
 1. This Confirmation is subject to, and
incorporates, the definitions and provisions of the 2000 ISDA Definitions (including the Annex thereto) (the “2000 Definitions”) and the definitions and provisions of the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “Equity
Definitions”, and together with the 2000 Definitions, the “Definitions”), in each case as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”). In the event of any inconsistency
between the 2000 Definitions and the Equity Definitions, the Equity Definitions will govern. For purposes of the Equity Definitions, each reference herein to a Warrant shall be deemed to be a reference to a Call Option or an Option, as context
requires. 
 Each party is hereby advised, and each such party acknowledges, that the other party has engaged in, or refrained
from engaging in, substantial financial transactions and has taken other material actions in reliance upon the parties’ entry into the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates on the terms and conditions set forth below. 
 This Confirmation evidences a complete and binding agreement between Dealer and Issuer as to the terms of the Transaction to which this
Confirmation relates. This Confirmation shall be subject to an agreement (the “Agreement”) in the form of the 1992 ISDA Master Agreement (Multicurrency-Cross Border) as published by ISDA as if Dealer and Issuer had executed an
agreement in such form on the date hereof (but without any Schedule except for (i) the election of Loss and Second Method and US Dollars (“USD”) as the Termination Currency, (ii) the replacement of the word
“third” in the last line of Section 5(a)(i) with the word “first”, (iii) the election that the “Cross Default” provisions of Section 5(a)(vi) shall apply to Issuer and Dealer, each with a “Threshold
Amount” of USD25 million and 2% of Dealer’s shareholders’ equity, respectively, (iv) the deletion of the phrase “, or becoming capable at such time of being declared,” in the seventh line under Section 5(a)(vi) of
the Agreement and (v) the election that “Credit Event Upon Merger” under Section 5(b)(iv) shall apply to Issuer and Dealer). The Transaction shall be the only Transaction under the Agreement. 
  











 

 

  

 All provisions contained in, or incorporated by reference to, the Agreement will govern
this Confirmation except as expressly modified herein. In the event of any inconsistency between this Confirmation and either the Definitions or the Agreement, this Confirmation shall govern. 
 2. The Transaction is a Warrant Transaction, which shall be considered a Share Option Transaction for purposes of the Equity Definitions.
The terms of the particular Transaction to which this Confirmation relates are as follows: 
 General Terms: 
  

			
	Trade Date:	  	March 25, 2010
		
	Effective Date:	  	April 1, 2010, or such other date as agreed between the parties, subject to Section 8(g) below
		
	Components:	  	The Transaction will be divided into individual Components, each with the terms set forth in this Confirmation, and, in particular, with the Number of Warrants and Expiration
Date set forth in this Confirmation. The payments and deliveries to be made upon settlement of the Transaction will be determined separately for each Component as if each Component were a separate Transaction under the Agreement.

	Expiration Time:	  	Valuation Time
		
	Expiration Date:	  	As provided in Annex A to this Confirmation (or, if such date is not a Scheduled Trading Day, the next following Scheduled Trading Day that is not already an Expiration

 2 










 

 

  


			
	 	  	that if that date is a Disrupted Day, the Expiration Date for such
Component shall be the first succeeding Scheduled Trading Day that is
not a Disrupted Day and is not or
is not deemed to be an Expiration
Date in respect of any other Component of the Transaction hereunder;
and provided further that if the Expiration Date has not occurred
pursuant to the preceding proviso as of the Final Disruption
Date, the
Calculation Agent may elect in its discretion that the Final Disruption
Date shall be the Expiration Date (irrespective of whether such date is
an Expiration Date in respect of any other Component for the
Transaction).
“Final Disruption Date” means August 6, 2015.
Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary in the
Equity Definitions, if a Market Disruption Event occurs on any
Expiration Date, the Calculation Agent may
determine that such
Expiration Date is a Disrupted Day only in part, in which case (i) the
Calculation Agent shall make adjustments to the Number of Warrants
for the relevant Component for which such day shall be the Expiration
Date and
shall designate the Scheduled Trading Day determined in the
manner described in the immediately preceding sentence as the
Expiration Date for the remaining Warrants for such Component and
(ii) the VWAP Price for such Disrupted Day shall be
determined by
the Calculation Agent based on transactions in the Shares on such
Disrupted Day effected before the relevant Market Disruption Event
occurred and/or after the relevant Market Disruption Event ended. Any
day on which the
Exchange is scheduled to close prior to its normal
closing time shall be considered a Disrupted Day in whole. Section 6.6
of the Equity Definitions shall not apply to any Valuation Date
occurring on an Expiration Date.
		
	Market Disruption Events:	  	 The first sentence of Section 6.3(a) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended (A) by deleting the words “during the one hour
period that ends at the relevant Valuation Time, Latest Exercise Time, Knock-in Valuation Time or Knock-out Valuation Time, as the case may be” in the third, fourth and fifth lines thereof, and (B) by replacing the words “or (iii) an Early
Closure.” by “(iii) an Early Closure, or (iv) a Regulatory Disruption.”
  
 Section 6.3(d) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the remainder of the provision following the term “Scheduled Closing Time” in the fourth line thereof.

		
	Regulatory Disruption:	  	Any event that Dealer, in its discretion, determines makes it appropriate with regard to any legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements or related policies and procedures
(whether or not such

  

 3 










 

 

  


			
		  	requirements, policies or procedures are imposed by law or have been voluntarily adopted by Dealer, and including without limitation Rule 10b-18, Rule 10b-5, Regulation 13D-G and
Regulation 14E under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulation M), for Dealer to refrain from or decrease any market activity in connection with the Transaction. Dealer shall notify Issuer
as soon as reasonably practicable that a Regulatory Disruption has occurred and the Expiration Dates affected by it.
		
	Automatic Exercise:	  	Applicable; and means that the Number of Warrants for the corresponding Expiration Date will be deemed to be automatically exercised at the Expiration Time on such Expiration
Date unless Buyer notifies Seller (by telephone or in writing) prior to the Expiration Time on such Expiration Date that it does not wish Automatic Exercise to occur, in which case Automatic Exercise will not apply to such Expiration
Date.

 Settlement Terms: 
 In respect of any Component: 
  

			
		
	Settlement Currency:	  	USD
		
	Cash Settlement:	  	On each Cash Settlement Payment Date, Issuer shall pay to Dealer an amount in cash in USD equal to the Cash Settlement Amount for such Cash Settlement Payment Date to the account
specified by Dealer. The Cash Settlement Amount shall be delivered by Issuer to Dealer no later than 12:00 noon (local time in New York City) on the relevant Cash Settlement Payment Date.
		
	Cash Settlement Amount:	  	In respect of any Exercise Date, the product of (i) the Number of Warrants exercised or deemed exercised on such Exercise Date, (ii) the Warrant Entitlement and (iii) the excess
of the VWAP Price on the Valuation Date occurring on such Exercise Date over the Strike Price (or, if no such excess, zero).

	VWAP Price:	  	For any Valuation Date, the volume weighted average price per Share on the Exchange for the regular trading session (including any extensions thereof) of the Exchange on such
Valuation Date (without regard to pre-open or after hours trading outside of such regular trading session), as published by Bloomberg at 4:15 p.m. New York City time (or 15 minutes following the end of any extension of the regular trading session)
on such Valuation Date, on Bloomberg page “SPWRA.UQ <Equity> AQR” (or any successor thereto) (or if such published volume weighted average price is unavailable or is manifestly incorrect, the market value of one Share on such
Valuation Date, as determined by the Calculation Agent using a volume weighted method).

 Adjustments: 
 In respect of any Component: 
  

			
		
	Method of Adjustment:	  	Calculation Agent Adjustment; provided that in respect of an Extraordinary Dividend, “Calculation Agent Adjustment” shall be as described in the provision below.

delivery obligations hereunder.
		
	Calculation Agent Adjustment for Extraordinary Dividend:	  	If an ex-dividend date for an Extraordinary Dividend occurs, then the Calculation Agent will make adjustments to the Strike Price, the Number of Warrants, the Warrant Entitlement
and/or any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement, payment or other terms of the Transaction as it determines appropriate to account for the economic effect on the Transaction of such Extraordinary Dividend.

 Extraordinary Events: 
  

			
		
	Consequences of Merger Events:	  	
		
	 (a) Share-for-Share:
	  	Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment
		
	 (b) Share-for-Other:

	New Shares:	  	In the definition of New Shares in Section 12.1(i) of the Equity Definitions, the text in clause (i) shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with “publicly quoted,
traded or listed on any of the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ Global Select Market or the NASDAQ Global Market (or their respective successors)”.
		
	Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment:	  	With respect to any Merger Event to which Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment applies, as a condition precedent to the adjustments contemplated in Section 12.2(e)(i) of the
Equity Definitions, Dealer, the Issuer of the Affected Shares and the entity that will be the Issuer of the New Shares shall, prior to the Merger Date, have entered into such documentation containing representations, warranties and agreements
relating to securities law and other issues as Dealer has determined, in its reasonable discretion, to be reasonably necessary or appropriate to allow Dealer to continue as a party to the Transaction, as adjusted under Section 12.2(e)(i) of the
Equity Definitions, and to preserve its hedging or hedge unwind activities in connection with the Transaction in a manner compliant with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable
to Dealer, and if such conditions are not met or if the Calculation Agent determines that no adjustment that it could make under Section 12.2(e)(i) of the Equity Definitions will produce a commercially reasonable result, then the consequences set
forth in Section 12.2(e)(ii) of the Equity Definitions shall apply.
		
	Reference Markets:	  	For the avoidance of doubt, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions, any adjustment effected by the Calculation Agent pursuant to Section 12.2(e) and/or
Section 12.3(d) of the Equity Definitions may be determined by reference to the adjustment(s) made in respect of Merger Events or Tender Offers, as the case may be, in the convertible bond market.
		
	Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment:	  	For greater certainty, the definition of “Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment” in Sections 12.2 and 12.3 of the Equity Definitions shall be amended by adding the
following italicized language to the stipulated parenthetical provision: “(including adjustments to account for changes in volatility, expected dividends, expected correlation, stock loan rate or liquidity relevant to the Shares or to
the Transaction) from the Announcement Date to the Merger Date (Section 12.2) or Tender Offer Date (Section 12.3)”.

	  	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 American 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 thereafter be deemed to be the
Exchange.

fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading. 
 (ii) Without limiting the generality of Section 13.1 of the Equity Definitions, Issuer acknowledges that Dealer is not making any representations or warranties with respect to the treatment of the
Transaction under FASB Statements 128, 133 (as amended), 149 or 150, EITF Issue No. 00-19, 01-6 or 03-6 (or any successor issue statements) or under any accounting standards including FASB’s Liabilities & Equity Project.

the Transaction and such other certificate or certificates as Dealer shall reasonably request. 
 (iv) Issuer is
not entering into this Confirmation to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security
convertible into or exchangeable for Shares) or otherwise in violation of the Exchange Act. 
 (v) Issuer is not,
and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby will not be, required to register as an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

payment,” as such term is defined in Section 741(8) 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 is a “transfer,” as such term is defined in Section 101(54) of the Bankruptcy Code, and (B) that Dealer is entitled to the protections afforded by, among other sections, Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 546(e),

 8. Other Provisions: 
 (a) Amendments to Equity Definitions. The following amendments shall be made to the Equity Definitions: 
 (i) The first sentence of Section 11.2(c) of the Equity Definitions, prior to clause (A) thereof, is hereby amended
to read as follows: ‘(c) If “Calculation Agent Adjustment” is specified as the Method of Adjustment in the related Confirmation of a Share Option Transaction, then following the announcement or occurrence of any Potential Adjustment
Event, the Calculation Agent will determine whether such Potential Adjustment Event has a material effect on the theoretical value of the relevant Shares or options on the Shares and, if so, will (i) make appropriate adjustment(s), if any, to
any one or more of:’ and, the portion of such sentence immediately preceding clause (ii) thereof is hereby amended by deleting the words “diluting or concentrative” and the words “(provided that no adjustments will be made
to account solely for changes in volatility, expected dividends, stock loan rate or liquidity relative to the relevant Shares)” and replacing such latter phrase with the words “(and, for the avoidance of doubt, adjustments may be made to
account solely for changes in volatility, expected dividends, stock loan rate or liquidity relative to the relevant Shares)”; and 
 (ii) Section 11.2(e)(vii) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the words “diluting or concentrative” and replacing them with “material”. 
 (b) Additional Termination Events. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an Additional Termination Event with
respect to which the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and Issuer shall be the sole Affected Party; provided that with respect to any Additional Termination Event, Dealer may choose to treat part of the Transaction as the
sole Affected Transaction, and, upon the termination of the Affected Transaction, a Transaction with terms identical to those set forth herein except with a Number of Warrants equal to the unaffected number of Warrants shall be treated for all
purposes as the Transaction, which shall remain in full force and effect: 
 (i) Buyer reasonably determines that
it is advisable to terminate a portion of the Transaction so that Buyer’s related hedging activities will comply with applicable securities laws, rules or regulations; 
 (ii) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation any merger or consolidation) the result of which is
that any Person (as defined below), directly or indirectly, including through one or more wholly owned subsidiaries, becomes the Beneficial Owner (as defined below) of more than 75% of the voting power of the Issuer’s capital stock that is at
the time entitled to vote by the holder thereof in the election of the Issuer’s board of directors (or comparable body); 
 (iii) the adoption of a plan relating to the Issuer’s liquidation or dissolution; 
 (iv) the consolidation or merger of the Issuer with or into any other Person, or the sale, lease transfer, conveyance or other disposition, in one or a series of related transactions, of all or
substantially all of the Issuer’s assets and those of the Issuer’s subsidiaries taken as a whole to any Person, other than (X) any transaction (1) that does not result in a reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation
of outstanding Shares and (2) pursuant to which the holders of 50% or more of the total voting power of all shares of the Issuer’s capital stock entitled to vote generally in elections of directors immediately prior to such transaction
have the right to exercise, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the total voting power of all shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in elections of directors of the continuing or surviving person immediately after giving effect to
such transaction or (Y) any merger primarily for the purpose of changing the Issuer’s jurisdiction of incorporation and resulting in a reclassification, conversion or exchange of outstanding Shares solely into shares of common stock of the
surviving entity; or 
 (v) the first day on which a majority of the members of the Issuer’s board of
directors are not Continuing Directors (as defined below). 
  

 11 










 

 

  

 However, an Additional Termination Event will be deemed not to have occurred if more
than 90% of the consideration in the transaction or transactions (other than cash payments for fractional shares and cash payments made in respect of dissenters’ appraisal rights) which otherwise would constitute an Additional Termination Event
under clause (ii) or (iv) above consists of shares of common stock, depositary receipts or other certificates representing common equity interests traded or to be traded immediately following such transaction on a United States national
securities exchange and, as a result of the transaction or transactions, such common stock, depositary receipts or other certificates representing common equity interests (and any rights attached thereto) and other applicable consideration will be
the reference property for determining the settlement amount for conversions of the Issuer’s convertible senior debentures due March 15, 2015. 
 “Person” includes any syndicate or group that would be deemed to be a “person” under Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act. 
 “Beneficial Owner” includes any Person that would be deemed a “beneficial owner” under Rule 13d-3 and Rule 13d-5
under the Exchange Act. 
 “Continuing Directors” means, as of any date of determination, any member of the
board of directors of the Issuer who (i) was a member of the Issuer’s board of directors on the date hereof or (ii) was nominated for election or elected to the Issuer’s board of directors with the approval of a majority of the
Issuer’s directors who were members of the board of directors at the time of the new director’s nomination or election. 
 (c) Extension of Settlement. Dealer may divide any Component into additional Components and designate the Expiration Date and the Number of Warrants for each such Component if Dealer determines, in its reasonable discretion, that
such further division is necessary or advisable to preserve Dealer’s hedging activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions in the cash market or stock loan market or to enable Dealer to effect purchases of Shares in connection
with its hedging activity hereunder in a manner that would, if Dealer were Issuer or an affiliated purchaser of Issuer, be in compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. 
 (d) Transfer and Assignment. Buyer may transfer or assign its rights and obligations hereunder and under the Agreement, in whole or
in part, at any time without the consent of Issuer; provided that at any time at which (i) the “beneficial ownership” (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) of Shares by
Buyer or any affiliate of Buyer subject to aggregation with Buyer under such Section 13 and rules or any “group”, as such term is used in such Section 13 and rules, of which Buyer or any such affiliate of Buyer is a member or may
be deemed to be a member (collectively, “Buyer Group”) would be equal to or greater than 8% or more of the outstanding Shares, (ii) Buyer, Buyer Group or any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of
Buyer or Buyer Group (Buyer, Buyer Group or any such person, a “Buyer Person”) under Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL Takeover Statute”) or any state or federal bank holding
company or banking laws, or other federal, state or local 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 in excess of a number of Shares equal to (x) the number of Shares that would give rise to reporting or registration obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval by a
state or federal regulator) of a Buyer Person under Applicable Laws (including, without limitation, “interested stockholder” or “acquiring person” status under the DGCL Takeover Statute) and with respect to which such
requirements have not been met or the relevant approval has not been received minus (y) 2% of the number of Shares outstanding on the date of determination (either such condition described in clause (i) or (ii), an “Excess
Ownership Position”) or (iii) a Hedging Disruption has occurred and is continuing, if Buyer, in its discretion, is unable to effect a transfer or assignment to a third party after using its commercially reasonable efforts on pricing
terms reasonably acceptable to Buyer such that an Excess Ownership Position or a Hedging Disruption, as the case may be, no longer exists, Buyer may designate any Scheduled Trading Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion (the
“Terminated Portion”) of the Transaction, such that such Excess Ownership Position or Hedging Disruption, as the case may be, no longer exists. In the event that Buyer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a
portion of the Transaction, a payment or delivery

  

 12 










 

 

  

 
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 the Terminated Portion
of the Transaction, (ii) Issuer shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (iii) such portion of the Transaction shall be the only Terminated Transaction. 
 (e) Equity Rights. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that prior to any provision of collateral pursuant to clause (h) below, this
Confirmation is not intended to convey to it rights with respect to the Transaction that are senior to the claims of common stockholders in the event of Issuer’s bankruptcy. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the parties agree that the
preceding sentence shall not apply at any time (other than during Issuer’s bankruptcy) to any claim arising as a result of a breach by Issuer of any of its obligations under this Confirmation or the Agreement, (ii) following any provision
of collateral pursuant to clause (h) below, Dealer shall have all rights as a secured party to the relevant collateral provision whether during the Issuer’s bankruptcy or otherwise and (iii) the parties acknowledge that this
Confirmation is not secured by any collateral that would otherwise secure the obligations of Issuer herein under or pursuant to any other agreement. 
 (f) Netting and Set-off.  
 (i) If on any date cash would
otherwise be payable or Shares or other property would otherwise be deliverable hereunder or pursuant to the Agreement or pursuant to any other agreement between the parties by Issuer to Buyer and cash would otherwise be payable or Shares or other
property would otherwise be deliverable hereunder or pursuant to the Agreement or pursuant to any other agreement between the parties by Buyer to Issuer and the type of property required to be paid or delivered by each such party on such date is the
same, then, on such date, each such party’s obligation to make such payment or delivery will be automatically satisfied and discharged and, if the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable or deliverable by one such party exceeds
the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable or deliverable by the other such party, replaced by an obligation of the party by whom the larger aggregate amount would have been payable or deliverable to pay or deliver to the other
party the excess of the larger aggregate amount over the smaller aggregate amount. 
 (ii) In addition to and
without limiting any rights of set-off that a party hereto may have as a matter of law, pursuant to contract or otherwise, upon the occurrence of an Early Termination Date, Buyer shall have the right to terminate, liquidate and otherwise close out
the Transaction and to set off any obligation or right that Buyer or any affiliate of Buyer may have to or against Issuer hereunder or under the Agreement against any right or obligation Buyer or any of its affiliates may have against or to Issuer,
including without limitation any right to receive a payment pursuant to any provision of the Agreement or hereunder. In the case of a set-off of any obligation to release, deliver or pay assets against any right to receive assets of the same type,
such obligation and right shall be set off in kind. In the case of a set-off of any obligation to release, deliver or pay assets against any right to receive assets of any other type, the value of each of such obligation and such right shall be
determined by the Calculation Agent and the result of such set-off shall be that the net obligor shall pay or deliver to the other party an amount of cash or assets, at the net obligor’s option, with a value (determined, in the case of a
delivery of assets, by the Calculation Agent) equal to that of the net obligation. In determining the value of any obligation to release or deliver Shares or any right to receive Shares, the value at any time of such obligation or right shall be
determined by reference to the market value of the Shares at such time, as determined by the Calculation Agent. If an obligation or right is unascertained at the time of any such set-off, the Calculation Agent may in good faith estimate the amount
or value of such obligation or right, in which case set-off will be effected in respect of that estimate, and the relevant party shall account to the other party at the time such obligation or right is ascertained. 
 (iii) Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement (including without limitation Section 6(f) thereof) and this
Confirmation (including without limitation this Section 8(f)) or any other agreement between the parties to the contrary, (A) Issuer shall not net or set off its obligations under the Transaction against its rights against Buyer under any
other transaction or instrument and (B) in the event of bankruptcy or liquidation of Issuer, neither party shall have the

  

 13 










 

 

  

 
right to set off any obligation that it may have to the other party under the Transaction against any obligation such other party may have to it under the Agreement, this Confirmation or any
other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise. Buyer will give notice to Issuer of any netting or set off effected under this provision. 
 (g) Effectiveness. If, prior to the Effective Date, Buyer reasonably determines that it is advisable to cancel the Transaction because of concerns that Buyer’s related hedging activities could
be viewed as not complying with applicable securities laws, rules or regulations, the Transaction shall be cancelled and shall not become effective, and neither party shall have any obligation to the other party in respect of the Transaction.

 (h) Credit Support. Beginning March 15, 2015, Counterparty shall provide collateral to Dealer (or, if requested
by Counterparty, a third party collateral agent reasonably acceptable to Dealer and on terms reasonably acceptable to Dealer) in respect of Dealer’s Exposure hereunder on a weekly mark-to-market basis to secure Counterparty’s obligations
to pay cash hereunder, and on terms commercially reasonably acceptable to Dealer. Eligible collateral shall include cash and cash equivalents and the Calculation Agent shall make all determinations of Exposure and collateral value. If on any
valuation date Dealer’s Exposure exceeds the value of the collateral provided by Counterparty, Dealer shall demand by 11:00 am New York time on such valuation date, collateral from Counterparty in an amount so that the total value of collateral
provided by Counterparty equals Dealer’s Exposure. If Counterparty fails to provide collateral to Dealer as set forth above by the close of business on the Business Day following the day Dealer demands such collateral, Dealer may designate an
Early Termination Date on any Business Day after such date for all or any portion of the Transaction, whereupon a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement under which Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party and the
Transaction (or portion thereof) shall be the only Terminated Transaction. If, on such valuation date, the value of the collateral provided by Counterparty exceeds Dealer’s Exposure, Dealer shall return such excess to Counterparty by close of
business on the immediately succeeding Business Day. “Exposure” means an amount equal to the VWAP Price minus the Strike Price multiplied by the Number of Warrants outstanding. 
 (i) Amendment. If the Initial Purchasers party to the Purchase Agreement exercise their right to purchase additional convertible
debentures as set forth therein, then, at the discretion of Issuer, Dealer and Issuer will either enter into a new confirmation evidencing additional warrants to be issued by Issuer to Dealer or amend this Confirmation to evidence such additional
warrants (in each case on pricing terms acceptable to Dealer and Issuer) (such additional confirmation or amendment to this Confirmation to provide for the payment by Dealer to Issuer of the additional premium related thereto in an amount to be
agreed between the parties). 
 (j) Lock Up. Prior to the first anniversary of the Trade Date, if the Initial Purchasers
party to the Purchase Agreement exercise their right to purchase additional convertible debentures set forth therein and Issuer does not elect to issue the maximum number of Additional Warrants (as defined below) as provided in paragraph
(i) above, Issuer shall not issue or enter into any warrant, a call option, a variable forward or other derivative linked to the Shares (collectively, “Warrants”), whether cash settled and/or physically settled and/or net share
settled, without a prior written consent of Dealer which shall not be unreasonably withheld, unless such Warrants are issued (i) pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of Issuer or any hedging
arrangements in respect thereof, (ii) to all Issuer’s stockholders as a free distribution or a distribution for less than the fair market value of such Warrants (as determined by the Calculation Agent), (iii) as part of mandatorily
convertible units in a bona fide capital raising transaction unrelated to the convertible debentures sold pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, or (iv) as part of a bona fide Share repurchase transaction unrelated to the convertible debentures
sold pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. “Additional Warrants” shall equal to the product of (i) the Warrant Entitlement, (ii) the initial conversion rate of the convertible debentures and (iii) the aggregate
principal amount of the additional convertible debentures purchased by the Initial Purchasers divided by USD1,000. 
 (k)
Designation by Dealer. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any funds to or from Counterparty, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates
to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such funds and otherwise to perform Dealer obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent
of any such performance.

 (l) Disclosure. Effective from the date of commencement of discussions concerning
the Transaction, Issuer and each of its employees, representatives, or other agents may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the Transaction and all materials of any kind (including
opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to Issuer relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. 
 (m)
Counterparts. This Confirmation may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 
 (n) Waiver of Trial by Jury. EACH OF ISSUER AND DEALER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES (ON ITS OWN BEHALF AND, TO THE
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ON BEHALF OF ITS STOCKHOLDERS) ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE TRANSACTION OR THE ACTIONS OF
DEALER OR ITS AFFILIATES OR ISSUER OR ITS AFFILIATES IN THE NEGOTIATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF. 
 (o)
Submission to Jurisdiction. Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding by the other party against it relating to the Transaction to which it is a party, or for
recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, sitting in New York County, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New
York, and appellate courts from any thereof. 
 (p) Governing Law. THIS CONFIRMATION SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CHOICE OF LAW DOCTRINE).
