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

“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.

 (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

  

 11 










 

 

  

 
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). 
 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

  

 12 










 

 

  

 
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 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

  

 13 










 

 

  

 
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 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

  

 14 










 

 

  

 
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) Method of Delivery. Whenever delivery of funds or other assets is required hereunder by or to
Counterparty, such delivery shall be effected through DBSI. In addition, all notices, demands and communications of any kind relating to the Transaction between Dealer and Counterparty shall be transmitted exclusively through DBSI. 
 (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).
