Re: Warrants



The purpose of this letter agreement (this “Confirmation”) is to confirm the terms and
conditions of the Warrants issued by Exterran Holdings, Inc. (“Company”) to Wachovia Bank, National
Association (“Dealer”), represented by Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC (“Agent”) as its agent, as of
the Trade Date specified below (the “Transaction”). This letter agreement constitutes a
“Confirmation” as referred to in the ISDA Master Agreement specified below. This Confirmation
shall replace any previous agreements and serve as the final documentation for this Transaction.



The definitions and provisions contained in the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the
“Equity Definitions”), as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.
(“ISDA”), are incorporated into this Confirmation. In the event of any inconsistency between the
Equity Definitions and this Confirmation, this Confirmation shall govern. This Transaction shall
be deemed to be a Share Option Transaction within the meaning set forth in the Equity Definitions.



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.



1. This Confirmation evidences a complete and binding agreement between Dealer and Company as to
the terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates. This Confirmation shall
supplement, form a part of, and be subject to an agreement in the form of the 2002 ISDA Master
Agreement (the “Agreement”) as if Dealer and Company had executed an agreement in such form (but
without any Schedule except for the election of the laws of the State of New York as the governing
law (without reference to choice of law doctrine)) on the Trade Date. In the event of any
inconsistency between provisions of that Agreement and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will
prevail for the purpose of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates. The parties hereby
agree that no Transaction other than the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates shall be
governed by the Agreement.

	First Expiration Date:

	 	September 15, 2014 (or if such day is not a Scheduled Trading
Day, the next following Scheduled Trading Day), subject to Market Disruption Event below.
	 
	 	 
	Daily Number of Warrants:

	 	For any Expiration Date, the Number of Warrants that have not
expired or been exercised as of such day, divided by the remaining number of Expiration
Dates (including such day), rounded down to the nearest whole number, subject to
adjustment pursuant to the provisos to “Expiration Date(s)”.
	 
	 	 
	Automatic Exercise:

	 	Applicable; and means that for each Expiration Date, a number of Warrants
equal to the Daily Number of Warrants (as adjusted pursuant to the terms hereof) for such
Expiration Date will be deemed to be automatically exercised.
	 
	 	 
	Market Disruption Event:

	 	Section 6.3(a)(ii) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by
replacing clause (ii) in its entirety with “(ii) an Exchange Disruption, or” and
inserting immediately following clause (iii) the phrase “; in each case that the
Calculation Agent determines is material.”
	 
	 	 
	Valuation:
	 	 
	 
	 	 
	Valuation Time:

	 	Scheduled Closing Time; provided that if the principal trading session is
extended, the Calculation Agent shall determine the Valuation Time in its reasonable
discretion.
	 
	 	 
	Valuation Date:

	 	Each Exercise Date.
	 
	 	 
	Settlement Terms:
	 	 
	 
	 	 
	Settlement Method:

	 	Net Share Settlement.
	 
	 	 
	Net Share Settlement:

	 	On the relevant Settlement Date, Company shall deliver to Dealer
the Share Delivery Quantity of Shares for such Settlement Date to the account specified
hereto free of payment through the Clearance System.
	 
	 	 
	Share Delivery Quantity:

	 	For any Settlement Date, a number of Shares, as calculated by
the Calculation Agent, equal to the Net Share Settlement Amount for such Settlement Date
divided by the Settlement Price on the Valuation Date in respect of such Settlement Date,
rounded down to the nearest whole number plus any Fractional Share Amount;
provided that the Share Delivery Quantity for any
Settlement Date shall not exceed the Maximum Number of
Shares as of such Settlement Date.

	Net Share Settlement Amount:

	 	For any Settlement Date, an amount equal to the product of
(i) the Number of Warrants exercised or deemed exercised on the relevant Exercise Date,
(ii) the Strike Price Differential for such Settlement Date and (iii) the Warrant
Entitlement.
	 
	 	 
	Settlement Price:

	 	For any Valuation Date, the per Share volume-weighted average price as
displayed under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP” on Bloomberg page EXH.N <equity> AQR
(or any successor thereto) in respect of the period from the scheduled opening time of
the Exchange to the Scheduled Closing Time on such Valuation Date (or if such
volume-weighted average price is unavailable, the market value of one Share on such
Valuation Date, as determined by the Calculation Agent). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if (i) any Expiration Date is a Disrupted Day and (ii) the Calculation Agent determines
that such Expiration Date shall be an Expiration Date for fewer than the Daily Number of
Warrants, as described above, then the Settlement Price for the relevant Valuation Date
shall be the volume-weighted average price per Share on such Valuation Date on the
Exchange, as determined by the Calculation Agent based on such sources as it deems
appropriate using a volume-weighted methodology, for the portion of such Valuation Date
for which the Calculation Agent determines there is no Market Disruption Event.
	 
	 	 
	Settlement Date(s):

	 	As determined in reference to Section 9.4 of the Equity Definitions,
subject to Section 9(k)(i) hereof.
	 
	 	 
	Other Applicable Provisions:




	 	The provisions of Sections 9.1(c), 9.8, 9.9, 9.11, 9.12 and 10.5 of
the Equity Definitions will be applicable, except that all references in such provisions to
“Physically-settled” shall be read as references to “Net Share Settled.” “Net Share Settled”
in relation to any Warrant means that Net Share Settlement is applicable to that Warrant.
	 
	 	 
	Representation and Agreement:




	 	Notwithstanding Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions, the parties
acknowledge that any Shares delivered to Dealer may be, upon delivery, subject to restrictions
and limitations arising from Company’s status as issuer of the Shares under applicable
securities laws.






3. Additional Terms applicable to the Transaction:



	 	 	 
	Adjustments applicable to the Warrants:

adjustments under the Equity Definitions, the Calculation Agent may make adjustments, if
any, to any one or more of the Strike Price, the Number of Warrants, the Daily Number of
Warrants and the Warrant Entitlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any cash dividends or
distributions on the Shares, whether or not extraordinary, shall be
governed by Section 9(f) of this Confirmation in lieu of
Article 10 or Section 11.2(c) of the Equity Definitions.

8. Representations and Warranties of Company




Each of the representations and warranties of Company set forth in Section 3 of the Underwriting
Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) dated as of June 4, 2009 between Company and J.P. Morgan
Securities Inc., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC
and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC as representative of the Underwriters party thereto (the
"Underwriters”), are true and correct and are hereby deemed to be repeated to Dealer on the date
hereof and on and as of the Premium Payment Date as if set forth herein. Company hereby further
represents and warrants to Dealer that:




	 	(a)	 	Company has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and
perform its obligations in respect of this Transaction; such execution, delivery and
performance have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on Company’s
part; and this Confirmation has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Company
and constitutes its valid and binding obligation, enforceable against Company in
accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and
remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity,
including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing
(regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) and
except that rights to indemnification and contribution hereunder may be limited by
federal or state securities laws or public policy relating thereto.

	 
	 	(b)	 	Neither the execution and delivery of this Confirmation nor the incurrence or
performance of obligations of Company hereunder will conflict with or result in a
breach of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or any equivalent documents) of
Company, or any applicable law or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree
of any court or governmental authority or agency, or any agreement or instrument to
which Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which Company or any of its
subsidiaries is bound or to which Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject, or
constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien under, any such
agreement or instrument.

	 
	 	(c)	 	No consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or filing with, any
governmental agency or body or any court is required in connection with the execution,
delivery or performance by Company of this Confirmation, except such as have been
obtained or made and such as may be required under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Securities Act”) or state securities laws.

	 
	 	(d)	 	The Shares of Company initially issuable upon exercise of the Warrant by the
net share settlement method (the “Warrant Shares”) have been reserved for issuance by
all required corporate action of Company. The Warrant Shares have been duly authorized
and, when delivered against payment therefor (which may include Net Share Settlement in
lieu of cash) and otherwise as contemplated by the terms of the Warrant following the
exercise of the Warrant in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Warrant,
will be validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable, and the issuance of the Warrant
Shares will not be subject to any preemptive or similar rights.

	 
	 	(e)	 	Company is not and will not be required to register as an “investment company”
as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

	 
	 	(f)	 	Company is an “eligible contract participant” (as such term is defined in
Section 1a(12) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended (the “CEA”)) because one or
more of the following is true:





 


8









 





	 	 	 	Company is a corporation, partnership, proprietorship, organization, trust or other
entity and:







	 	(A)	 	Company has total assets in excess of USD 10,000,000;

	 
	 	(B)	 	the obligations of Company hereunder are guaranteed, or
otherwise supported by a letter of credit or keepwell, support or other
agreement, by an entity of the type described in Section 1a(12)(A)(i) through
(iv), 1a(12)(A)(v)(I), 1a(12)(A)(vii) or 1a(12)(C) of the CEA; or

	 
	 	(C)	 	Company has a net worth in excess of USD 1,000,000 and has
entered into this Agreement in connection with the conduct of Company’s
business or to manage the risk associated with an asset or liability owned or
incurred or reasonably likely to be owned or incurred by Company in the conduct
of Company’s business.







	 	(g)	 	Company and each of its affiliates is not, on the date hereof, in possession of
any material non-public information with respect to Company.

	 
	 	(h)	 	Company is entering into the Transaction for bona fide business purposes and
not for speculative purposes.






9. Other Provisions:




	 	(a)	 	Opinions. Company shall deliver to Dealer an opinion of counsel, dated
as of the Trade Date and reasonably acceptable to Dealer in form and substance, with
respect to (i) due incorporation, existence and good standing of Company in Delaware,
(ii) Company’s qualifications as a foreign corporation and good standing in Texas,
(iii) the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Confirmation, and (iv) the
absence of conflict of the execution and delivery of the Confirmation with any material
agreement required to be filed as any exhibit to Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K,
Company’s charter documents and any applicable law or regulation. Delivery of such
opinion to Dealer shall be a condition precedent for the purpose of Section 2(a)(iii)
of the Agreement with respect to each obligation of Dealer under Section 2(a)(i) of the
Agreement.

	 
	 	(b)	 	Repurchase Notices. Company shall, on any day on which Company effects
any repurchase of Shares, promptly give Dealer a written notice of such repurchase (a
“Repurchase Notice”) on such day if following such repurchase, the number of
outstanding Shares on such day, subject to any adjustments provided herein, is (i) less
than 59.2 million (in the case of the first such notice) or (ii) thereafter more than
3.0 million less than the number of Shares included in the immediately preceding
Repurchase Notice. Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Dealer and its
affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, advisors,
agents and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and
all losses (including losses relating to Dealer’s hedging activities as a consequence
of becoming, or of the risk of becoming, a Section 16 “insider”, including without
limitation, any forbearance from hedging activities or cessation of hedging activities
and any losses in connection therewith with respect to this Transaction), claims,
damages, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees),
joint or several, which an Indemnified Person actually may become subject to, as a
result of Company’s failure to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice on the day and
in the manner specified in this paragraph, and to reimburse, within 30 days, upon
written request, each of such Indemnified Persons for any reasonable legal or other
expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing for, providing testimony
or other evidence in connection with or defending any of the foregoing. If any suit,
action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or
demand shall be brought or asserted against the Indemnified Person, such Indemnified
Person shall promptly notify Company in writing, and Company, upon request of the
Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified
Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others Company may designate in such
proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such
proceeding. Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected
without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final
judgment for the plaintiff, Company agrees to indemnify any Indemnified Person from and
against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Company shall
not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement
of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which





 


9









 





	 	 	 	any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could
have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement
includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability on
claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding on terms reasonably
satisfactory to such Indemnified Person. If the indemnification provided for in
this paragraph is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of
any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then Company under
such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of
such losses, claims, damages or liabilities. The remedies provided for in this
paragraph are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may
otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity. The indemnity
and contribution agreements contained in this paragraph shall remain operative and
in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Transaction.

	 
	 	(c)	 	Regulation M. Company is not on the date hereof engaged in a
distribution, as such term is used in Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), of any securities of Company, other than the
distribution of USD 325,000,000 principal amount of 4.25% convertible senior notes due
2014 being made on the date hereof. Company shall not, until the second Scheduled
Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date, engage in any such distribution.

	 
	 	(d)	 	No Manipulation. Company is not entering into this Transaction to
create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible
into or exchangeable for the Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the
price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares)
or otherwise in violation of the Exchange Act.

	 
	 	(e)	 	Transfer or Assignment. Company may not transfer any of its rights or
obligations under this Transaction without the prior written consent of Dealer. Dealer
may, without Company’s consent, transfer or assign all or any part of its rights or
obligations under this Transaction to any third party. If at any time at which (1) the
Section 16 Percentage exceeds 7.5%, (2) the Warrant Equity Percentage exceeds 14.5%, or
(3) the Share Amount exceeds the Post-Effective Limit (if any applies), Dealer is
unable after using its commercially reasonable efforts to effect a transfer or
assignment of Warrants to a third party on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to
Dealer and within a time period reasonably acceptable to Dealer such that (1) the
Section 16 Percentage will be equal to or less than 7.5%, (2) the Warrant Equity
Percentage will be equal to or less than 14.5%, and (3) the Share Amount will be equal
to or less than any such Post-Effective Limit, then Dealer may designate any Exchange
Business Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction
(the “Terminated Portion”), such that following such partial termination (1) the
Section 16 Percentage will be equal to or less than 7.5%, (2) the Warrant Equity
Percentage will be equal to or less than 14.5%, and (3) the Share Amount will be equal
to or less than such Post-Effective Limit. In the event that Dealer so designates an
Early Termination Date with respect to a Terminated Portion, a payment shall be made
pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (1) an Early Termination Date had been
designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to this Transaction and a
Number of Warrants equal to the number of Warrants underlying the Terminated Portion,
(2) Company shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination
and (3) the Terminated Portion shall be the sole Affected Transaction (and, for the
avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 9(j) shall apply to any amount that is
payable by Company to Dealer pursuant to this sentence as if Company was not the
Affected Party). The “Section 16 Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed
as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Dealer and
each person subject to aggregation of Shares with Dealer under Section 13 or Section 16
of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder (the “Dealer Group”) directly or
indirectly beneficially own (as defined under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange
Act and rules promulgated thereunder) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of
Shares outstanding. The “Warrant Equity Percentage” as of any day is the fraction,
expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the sum of (x) the product of
the Number of Warrants and the Warrant Entitlement and (y) the aggregate number of
Shares underlying any other warrants purchased by Dealer from Company, and (B) the
denominator of which is the number of Shares





 


10









 





	 	 	 	outstanding. The
“Share Amount” as of any day is the number of Shares that Dealer and any person whose ownership
position would be aggregated with that of Dealer (Dealer or any such person, a
“Dealer Person”) under any law, rule, regulation or regulatory order that for any
reason becomes applicable to ownership of Shares after the Trade Date (“Applicable
Laws”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to
vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership of under the Applicable
Laws, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion. The “Post-Effective
Limit” means (x) the minimum number of Shares that would give rise to reporting or
registration obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval
from any person or entity) of a Dealer Person, or would result in an adverse effect
on a Dealer Person, under the Applicable Laws, as determined by Dealer in its
reasonable discretion, minus (y) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring
or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other
securities to or from Company, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to
purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities and otherwise to
perform Dealer’s obligations in respect of this Transaction and any such designee
may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to
Company to the extent of any such performance.

	 
	 	(f)	 	Dividends. If at any time during the period from and including the
Effective Date, to and including the final Expiration Date, an ex-dividend date for a
cash dividend occurs with respect to the Shares, then the Calculation Agent will adjust
any of the Strike Price, Number of Warrants and/or Daily Number of Warrants to preserve
the fair value of the Warrants to Dealer after taking into account such dividend.

	 
	 	(g)	 	Role of Agent.

	 
	 	 	 	(i) The Agent is registered as a broker-dealer with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission and the National Association of Securities Dealers, is acting hereunder
for and on behalf of Dealer solely in its capacity as agent for Dealer pursuant to
instructions from Dealer, and is not and will not be acting as Company’s agent,
broker, advisor or fiduciary in any respect under or in connection with this
Transaction.

	 
	 	 	 	(ii) In addition to acting as Dealer’s agent in executing this Transaction, the
Agent is authorized from time to time to give written payment and/or delivery
instructions to Company directing it to make its payments and/or deliveries under
this Transaction to an account of the Agent for remittance to Dealer (or its
designee), and for that purpose any such payment or delivery by Company to the Agent
shall be treated as a payment or delivery to Dealer.

	 
	 	 	 	(iii) Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all notices, demands, or
communications of any kind transmitted in writing by either Dealer or Company under
or in connection with this Transaction will be transmitted exclusively by such Party
to the other Party through the Agent at the following address:

respective obligations under or in connection with this Transaction, (B) the
collection or enforcement of any such obligations, or (C) the exercise of any of the
rights and remedies of either Dealer or Company under or in connection with this

12









 






(B) Consummation of any share exchange, consolidation or merger of Company or
any other transaction or series of transactions pursuant to which the Shares
will be converted into cash, securities or other property or any sale, lease or
other transfer in one transaction or a series of transactions of all or
substantially all of the consolidated assets of Company and its subsidiaries,
taken as a whole, to any person other than one of Company’s subsidiaries;
provided, however, that a transaction where the holders of all classes of
Company’s common equity immediately prior to such transaction that is a share
exchange, consolidation or merger own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of
all classes of common equity of the continuing or surviving corporation or
transferee or the parent thereof immediately after such event shall not
constitute an Additional Termination Event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
event set forth in this clause (B) shall not constitute an Additional
Termination Event if at least 90% of the consideration received or to be
received by holders of the Shares, excluding cash payments for fractional
Shares, in connection with such event consists of shares of common stock traded
on the New York Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ Global Market or the NASDAQ Global

(C) An event of default as defined in any mortgage, indenture or instrument
under which there may be issued, or by which there may be secured or evidenced,
any indebtedness of Company or any principal subsidiary (other than Exterran
Partners, L.P. and its subsidiaries, so long as Exterran Partners, L.P. and its
subsidiaries are not restricted subsidiaries of Company, as such term is
defined in the Senior Secured Credit Agreement dated August 20, 2007 by and
among Company, Exterran Canada, Limited Partnership and the agents and lenders
party thereto) for money borrowed, whether such indebtedness now exists or
shall hereafter be created, shall happen and shall result in such indebtedness
in principal amount in excess of $50 million becoming or being declared due and
payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise become due and payable.




(D) Dealer, despite using commercially reasonable efforts, is unable or
reasonably determines that it is impractical or illegal, to hedge its exposure
with respect to this Transaction in the public market without registration
under the Securities Act or as a result of any legal, regulatory or
self-regulatory requirements or related policies and procedures (whether or not
such requirements, policies or procedures are imposed by law or have been
voluntarily adopted by Dealer).




(E) At any time on any day during the period from and including the Trade Date,
to and including the final Expiration Date, (1) the Share Delivery Quantity of
Shares that would be deliverable (if such time were the Valuation Time and such
date were the Exercise Date and Valuation Date for a number of Warrants equal
to the Number of Warrants as of such date and Net Share Settlement applied)
exceeds a number of Shares equal to 75% of the Maximum Number of Shares, or (2)
Company makes a public announcement of any transaction or event that, in the
reasonable opinion of Dealer would, upon consummation of such transaction or
upon the occurrence of such event, as applicable, and after giving effect to
any applicable adjustments hereunder, cause the Share Delivery Quantity of
Shares immediately following the consummation of such transaction or the
occurrence of such event (determined as if the time immediately following the
consummation of such transaction or the occurrence of such event were the
Valuation Time and the date upon which such transaction is consummated or such
event occurs were the Exercise Date and Valuation Date for a number of Warrants
equal to the Number of Warrants as of such Date and Net Share Settlement
applied) to exceed a number of Shares equal to 75% of the Maximum Number of
Shares.


 


13









 






	 	(i)	 	No Collateral or Setoff. Notwithstanding any provision of the
Agreement or any other agreement between the parties to the contrary, the obligations
of Company hereunder are not secured by any collateral. Obligations under this
Transaction shall not be set off by Company 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. Any provision
in the Agreement with respect to the satisfaction of Company’s payment obligations to
the extent of Dealer ‘s payment obligations to Company in the same currency and in the
same Transaction (including, without limitation Section 2(c) thereof) shall not apply
to Company and, for the avoidance of doubt, Company shall fully satisfy such payment
obligations notwithstanding any payment obligation to Company by Dealer in the same
currency and in the same Transaction. In calculating any amounts under Section 6(e) of
the Agreement, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, (1) separate
amounts shall be calculated as set forth in such Section 6(e) with respect to (a) this
Transaction and (b) all other Transactions, and (2) such separate amounts shall be
payable pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt and
notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Section 9(i), in the event of
bankruptcy or liquidation of either Company or Dealer neither party shall have the
right to set off any obligation that it may have to the other party under this
Transaction against any obligation such other party may have to it, whether arising
under the Agreement, this Confirmation or any other agreement between the parties
hereto, by operation of law or otherwise.

	 
	 	(j)	 	Alternative Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain
Extraordinary Events. If, in respect of this Transaction, an amount is payable by
Company to Dealer, (i) pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity
Definitions, (ii) pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement or (iii) pursuant to
Section 9(t) (a “Payment Obligation”), Company shall have the right, in its sole
discretion, to satisfy any such Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative
(as defined below) (except that Company shall not make such an election in the event of
a Nationalization, Insolvency, Merger Event or Tender Offer in which the consideration
to be paid to holders of shares consists solely of cash or an Event of Default in which
Company is the Defaulting Party or a Termination Event in which Company is the Affected
Party, other than an Event of Default of the type described in Section 5(a)(iii), (v),
(vi), (vii) or (viii) of the Agreement or a Termination Event of the type described in
Section 5(b) of the Agreement, in each case that resulted from an event or events
outside Company’s control) and shall give irrevocable telephonic notice to Dealer,
confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day, no later than 12:00 p.m. (New
York City time) on the Merger Date, Tender Offer Date, Announcement Date (in the case
of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), Early Termination Date or date of
cancellation, or no later than 6:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Early Unwind Date,
as applicable; provided that if Company does not validly elect to satisfy its Payment
Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative, Dealer shall have the right, in its
reasonable discretion, to require Company to satisfy its Payment Obligation by the
Share Termination Alternative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company’s or Dealer’s
right to elect satisfaction of a Payment Obligation in the Share Termination
Alternative as set forth in this clause shall only apply to Transactions under this
Confirmation and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, (1)
separate amounts shall be calculated with respect to (a) Transactions hereunder and (b)
all other Transactions under the Agreement, and (2) such separate amounts shall be
payable pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, subject to, in the case of
clause (a), Company’s Share Termination Alternative right hereunder.






	 	 	 
	Share Termination Alternative:

	 	If applicable, Company shall deliver
to Dealer the Share Termination Delivery Property on the date (the “Share
Termination Payment Date”) on which the Payment Obligation would otherwise be
due pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or
Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, or on the Exchange Business Day immediately
following the date on which the Payment Obligation would otherwise be due
pursuant to Section 9(t), as applicable, subject to paragraph (k)(i) below, in
satisfaction, subject to paragraph (k)(ii)
below, of the Payment Obligation in the manner
reasonably requested by Dealer free of
payment.






 


14









 





	 	 	 
	Share Termination Delivery Property:

	 	A number of Share Termination
Delivery Units, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the Payment
Obligation divided by the Share Termination Unit Price. The Calculation Agent
shall adjust the amount of Share Termination Delivery Property by replacing any
fractional portion of a security therein with an amount of cash equal to the
value of such fractional security based on the values used to calculate the
Share Termination Unit Price.
	 
	 	 
	Share Termination Unit Price:

	 	The value to Dealer of property
contained in one Share Termination Delivery Unit on the date such Share
Termination Delivery Units are to be delivered as Share Termination Delivery
Property, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its discretion by
commercially reasonable means. The Calculation Agent shall notify Company of
such Share Termination Unit Price at the time of notification of the Payment
Obligation. In the case of a Private Placement of Share Termination Delivery
Units that are Restricted Shares (as defined below), as set forth in paragraph
(k)(i) below, the Share Termination Unit Price shall be determined by the
discounted price applicable to such Share Termination Delivery Units. In the
case of a Registration Settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units that are
Restricted Shares (as defined below) as set forth in paragraph (k)(ii) below,
the Share Termination Unit Price shall be the Settlement Price on the Merger
Date, the Tender Offer Date, the Announcement Date (in the case of a
Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), the date of cancellation, the Early
Termination Date or the Early Unwind Date, as applicable.
	 
	 	 
	Share Termination Delivery Unit:

	 	In the case of a Termination Event,
Event of Default Additional Disruption Event, Delisting or Early Unwind, one
Share or, in the case of Nationalization, Insolvency, Tender Offer or Merger
Event, a unit consisting of the number or amount of each type of property
received by a holder of one Share (without consideration of any requirement to
pay cash or other consideration in lieu of fractional amounts of any
securities) in such Nationalization, Insolvency, Tender Offer or Merger Event.
If such Nationalization, Insolvency, Tender Offer or Merger Event involves a
choice of consideration to be received by holders, such holder shall be deemed
to have elected to receive the maximum possible amount of cash.
	 
	 	 
	Failure to Deliver:

	 	Inapplicable





	 	 	 
	Other applicable provisions:

	 	If Share Termination Alternative is
applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.11, 9.12 and 10.5 (as
modified above) of the Equity Definitions will be applicable, except that all
references in such provisions to “Physically-settled” shall be read as
references to “Share Termination Settled” and all references to “Shares” shall
be read as references to “Share Termination Delivery Units”. “Share
Termination Settled” in relation to this Transaction means that Share
Termination Alternative is applicable to this Transaction.








 


15









 






	 	(k)	 	Registration/Private Placement Procedures. If, in the reasonable
opinion of Dealer, following any delivery of Shares or Share Termination Delivery
Property to Dealer hereunder, such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property would
be in the hands of Dealer subject to any applicable restrictions with respect to any
registration or qualification requirement or prospectus delivery requirement for such
Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property pursuant to any applicable federal or
state securities law (including, without limitation, any such requirement arising under
Section 5 of the Securities Act as a result of such Shares or Share Termination
Delivery Property being “restricted securities”, as such term is defined in Rule 144
under the Securities Act, or as a result of the sale of such Shares or Share
Termination Delivery Property being subject to paragraph (c) of Rule 145 under the
Securities Act) (such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property, “Restricted
Shares”), then delivery of such Restricted Shares shall be effected pursuant to either
clause (i) or (ii) below at the election of Company, unless Dealer waives the need for
registration/private placement procedures set forth in (i) and (ii) below.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely in respect of any Daily Number of Warrants
exercised or deemed exercised on any Expiration Date, Company shall elect, prior to the
first Settlement Date for the first Expiration Date, a Private Placement Settlement or
Registration Settlement for all deliveries of Restricted Shares for all such Expiration
Dates which election shall be applicable to all Settlement Dates for such Warrants and
the procedures in clause (i) or clause (ii) below shall apply for all such delivered
Restricted Shares on an aggregate basis commencing after the final Settlement Date for
such Warrants. The Calculation Agent shall make reasonable adjustments to settlement
terms and provisions under this Confirmation to reflect a single Private Placement or
Registration Settlement for such aggregate Restricted Shares delivered hereunder.







	 	(i)	 	If Company elects to settle the Transaction pursuant to this
clause (i) (a “Private Placement Settlement”), then delivery of Restricted
Shares by Company shall be effected in customary private placement procedures
with respect to such Restricted Shares reasonably acceptable to Dealer;
provided that Company may not elect a Private Placement Settlement if, on the
date of its election, it has taken, or caused to be taken, any action that
would make unavailable either the exemption pursuant to Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act for the sale by Company to Dealer (or any affiliate designated
by Dealer) of the Restricted Shares or the exemption pursuant to Section 4(1)
or Section 4(3) of the Securities Act for resales of the Restricted Shares by
Dealer (or any such affiliate of Dealer). The Private Placement Settlement of
such Restricted Shares shall include customary representations, covenants, blue
sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to Dealer,
due diligence rights (for Dealer or any designated buyer of the Restricted
Shares by Dealer), opinions and certificates, and such other documentation as
is customary for private placement agreements, all reasonably acceptable to
Dealer. In the case of a Private Placement Settlement, Dealer shall determine
the appropriate discount to the Share Termination Unit Price (in the case of
settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to paragraph (j) above)
or any Settlement Price (in the case of settlement of Shares pursuant to
Section 2 above) applicable to such Restricted Shares in a commercially
reasonable manner and appropriately adjust the number of such Restricted Shares
to be delivered to Dealer hereunder; provided that in no event shall such
number be greater than the Maximum Number of Shares. Notwithstanding the
Agreement or
this Confirmation, the date of delivery of such Restricted Shares shall be
the Exchange Business Day following notice by Dealer to Company, of such
applicable discount and the number of Restricted Shares to be delivered
pursuant to this clause (i). For the avoidance of doubt, delivery of
Restricted Shares shall be due as set forth in the previous sentence and not
be due on the Share Termination Payment Date (in the case of settlement of
Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to paragraph (j) above) or on the
Settlement Date for such Restricted Shares (in the case of settlement in
Shares pursuant to Section 2 above).





 


16









 





	 	 	 	In the event Company shall not have delivered the full number of Restricted
Shares otherwise applicable as a result of the proviso above relating to the
Maximum Number of Shares (such deficit, the “Deficit Restricted Shares”),
Company shall be continually obligated to deliver, from time to time until
the full number of Deficit Restricted Shares have been delivered pursuant to
this paragraph, Restricted Shares when, and to the extent, that (i) Shares
are repurchased, acquired or otherwise received by Company or any of its
subsidiaries after the Trade Date (whether or not in exchange for cash, fair
value or any other consideration), (ii) authorized and unissued Shares
reserved for issuance in respect of other transactions prior to such date
which prior to the relevant date become no longer so reserved and (iii)
Company additionally authorizes any unissued Shares that are not reserved
for other transactions. Company shall immediately notify Dealer of the
occurrence of any of the foregoing events (including the number of Shares
subject to clause (i), (ii) or (iii) and the corresponding number of
Restricted Shares to be delivered) and promptly deliver such Restricted
Shares thereafter.

	 
	 	(ii)	 	If Company elects to settle the Transaction pursuant to this
clause (ii) (a “Registration Settlement”), then Company shall promptly (but in
any event no later than the beginning of the Resale Period) file and use its
reasonable best efforts to make effective under the Securities Act a
registration statement or supplement or amend an outstanding registration
statement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Dealer, to cover the
resale of such Restricted Shares in accordance with customary resale
registration procedures, including covenants, conditions, representations,
underwriting discounts (if applicable), commissions (if applicable),
indemnities due diligence rights, opinions and certificates, and such other
documentation as is customary for equity resale underwriting agreements, all
reasonably acceptable to Dealer. If Dealer, in its sole reasonable discretion,
is not satisfied with such procedures and documentation Private Placement
Settlement shall apply. If Dealer is satisfied with such procedures and
documentation, it shall sell the Restricted Shares pursuant to such
registration statement during a period (the “Resale Period”) commencing on the
Exchange Business Day following delivery of such Restricted Shares (which, for
the avoidance of doubt, shall be (x) the Share Termination Payment Date in case
of settlement in Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to paragraph (j)
above or (y) the Settlement Date in respect of the final Expiration Date for
all Daily Number of Warrants) and ending on the earliest of (i) the Exchange
Business Day on which Dealer completes the sale of all Restricted Shares or, in
the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units, a sufficient number
of Restricted Shares so that the realized net proceeds of such sales equals or
exceeds the Payment Obligation (as defined above), (ii) the date upon which all
Restricted Shares have been sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 (or
similar provisions then in force) or Rule 145(d)(2) (or any similar provision
then in force) under the Securities Act and (iii) the date upon which all
Restricted Shares may be sold or transferred by a non-affiliate pursuant to
Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in force) or Rule 145(d)(2) (or any
similar provision then in force) under the Securities Act. If the Payment
Obligation exceeds the realized net proceeds from such resale, Company shall
transfer to Dealer by the open of the regular trading session on the Exchange
on the Exchange Trading Day immediately following the last day of the Resale
Period the amount of such excess (the “Additional Amount”) in cash or in a
number of Shares (“Make-whole Shares”) in an amount that, based on the
Settlement Price on the last day of the Resale Period (as if such day was the
“Valuation Date” for purposes of computing such Settlement Price), has a
dollar value equal to the Additional Amount; provided that in no event shall
the number of Make-Whole Shares exceed the Maximum Number of Shares. The
Resale Period shall continue to enable the sale of the Make-whole Shares.
If Company elects to pay the Additional Amount in Shares, the requirements
and provisions for Registration Settlement shall apply. This provision
shall be applied successively until the Additional Amount is equal to zero.
In no event shall Company deliver a number of Restricted Shares greater than
the Maximum Number of Shares.





 


17









 





	 	(iii)	 	Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Company
agrees that any Restricted Shares delivered to Dealer, as purchaser of such
Restricted Shares, (i) may be transferred by and among Dealer and its
affiliates and Company shall effect such transfer without any further action by
Dealer and (ii) after the period of 6 months from the Trade Date (or 1 year
from the Trade Date if, at such time, informational requirements of Rule 144(c)
are not satisfied with respect to Company) has elapsed after any Settlement
Date for such Restricted Shares, Company shall promptly remove, or cause the
transfer agent for such Restricted Shares to remove, any legends referring to
any such restrictions or requirements from such Restricted Shares upon request
by Dealer (or such affiliate of Dealer) to Company or such transfer agent,
without any requirement for the delivery of any certificate, consent,
agreement, opinion of counsel, notice or any other document, any transfer tax
stamps or payment of any other amount or any other action by Dealer (or such
affiliate of Dealer).







	 	 	 	If the Private Placement Settlement or the Registration Settlement shall not be
effected as set forth in clauses (i) or (ii), as applicable, then failure to effect
such Private Placement Settlement or such Registration Settlement shall constitute
an Event of Default with respect to which Company shall be the Defaulting Party.

	 
	 	(l)	 	Limit on Beneficial Ownership. Notwithstanding any other provisions
hereof, Dealer may not exercise any Warrant hereunder, have the “right to acquire”
(within the meaning of NYSE Rule 312.04(g)) Shares upon exercise of any Warrant
hereunder or be entitled to take delivery of any Shares deliverable hereunder, and
Automatic Exercise shall not apply with respect to any Warrant hereunder, to the extent
(but only to the extent) that, after such receipt of any Shares upon the exercise of
such Warrant or otherwise hereunder, (i) the Share Amount would exceed the
Post-Effective Limit, or (ii) Dealer Group would directly or indirectly beneficially
own (as such term is defined for purposes of Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange
Act and rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 7.5% of the then outstanding Shares
(the “Threshold Number of Shares”). Any purported delivery hereunder shall be void and
have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after such delivery, (i)
the Share Amount would exceed the Post-Effective Limit, or (ii) Dealer Group would
directly or indirectly so beneficially own in excess of the Threshold Number of Shares.
If any delivery owed to Dealer hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result
of this provision, Company’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished
and Company shall make such delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event
later than one Business Day after, Dealer gives notice to Company that, after such
delivery, (i) the Share Amount would not exceed the Post-Effective Limit, and (ii)
Dealer Group would not directly or indirectly so beneficially own in excess of the
Threshold Number of Shares. Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to seek
approval from its shareholders in accordance with the requirements of NYSE Rule
312.03(c) for the issuance pursuant to the Transaction of a number of Shares equal to
1.5 times the original Number of Shares. If Company succeeds in obtaining such
approval for such an increase, then (A) the Maximum Number of Shares shall be
automatically increased to 1.5 times the original Number of Shares and (B) the
Additional Termination Event in Section 9(h)(ii)(E) shall no longer be applicable.

	 	(m)	 	Share Deliveries. Company acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent
the holder of this Warrant is not then an affiliate and has not been an affiliate for
90 days (it being understood that Dealer will not be considered an affiliate under this
paragraph solely by reason of its receipt of Shares pursuant to this Transaction), and
otherwise satisfies all holding period and other requirements of Rule 144 of the
Securities Act applicable to it, any delivery of Shares or Share Termination
Delivery Property hereunder at any time after 6 months from the Trade Date (or 1
year from the Trade Date if, at such time, informational requirements of Rule 144(c)
are not satisfied with respect to Company) shall be eligible for resale under Rule
144 of the Securities Act and Company agrees to promptly remove, or cause the
transfer agent for such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property, to remove,
any legends referring to any restrictions on resale under the Securities Act from
the Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property. Company further agrees that any
delivery of Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property prior to the date that is
6 months from the Trade Date (or 1 year from the Trade Date if, at such time,
informational requirements of Rule 144(c) are not satisfied with respect to
Company), may be transferred by and among Dealer and its affiliates and Company
shall effect such transfer without any further action by Dealer. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, Company agrees that any delivery of Shares or Share
Termination Delivery Property shall be effected by book-entry transfer through the
facilities of DTC, or any successor depositary, if at the time of delivery, such
class of Shares or class of Share Termination Delivery Property is in book-entry
form at DTC or such successor depositary. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, to the extent the provisions of Rule 144 of the Securities Act or any
successor rule are amended, or the applicable interpretation thereof by the
Securities and Exchange Commission or any court change after the Trade Date, the
agreements of Company herein shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary, in
the opinion of outside counsel of Company, to comply with Rule 144 of the Securities
Act, as in effect at the time of delivery of the relevant Shares or Share
Termination Delivery Property.

	 
	 	(n)	 	Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any
suit, action or proceeding relating to this Transaction. Each party (i) certifies that
no representative, agent or attorney of the other party has represented, expressly or
otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of such a suit, action or
proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the
other party have been induced to enter into this Transaction, as applicable, by, among
other things, the mutual waivers and certifications provided herein.

	 
	 	(o)	 	Tax Disclosure. Effective from the date of commencement of discussions
concerning the Transaction, Company 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 Company relating to
such tax treatment and tax structure.

	 
	 	(p)	 	Maximum Share Delivery. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Confirmation or the Agreement, in no event will Company be required to deliver more
than the Maximum Number of Shares in the aggregate to Dealer in connection with this
Transaction, subject to the provisions regarding Deficit Restricted
Shares.

	 
	 	(q)	 	Right to Extend. Dealer may postpone, in whole or in part, any
Expiration Date or any other date of valuation or delivery with respect to some or all
of the relevant Warrants (in which event the Calculation Agent shall make appropriate
adjustments to the Daily Number of Warrants with respect to one or more Expiration
Dates) if Dealer determines, in its commercially reasonable judgment, that such
extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate to preserve Dealer’s hedging or hedge
unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions or to enable Dealer
to effect purchases of Shares in connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or
settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if Dealer were Issuer or an
affiliated purchaser of Issuer, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or
self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to
Dealer.

	 	(r)	 	Status of Claims in Bankruptcy. Dealer acknowledges and agrees that
this Confirmation is not intended to convey to Dealer rights against Company with
respect to the Transaction that are senior to the claims of common stockholders of
Company in any United States bankruptcy proceedings of Company; provided that nothing
herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealer’s right to pursue remedies in the
event of a breach by Company of its obligations and
agreements with respect to the Transaction; provided, further, that nothing herein
shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealer’s rights in respect of any
transactions other than the Transaction.

	 
	 	(s)	 	Securities Contract; Swap Agreement. The parties hereto intend for:
(a) the Transaction to be a “securities contract” and a “swap agreement” as defined in
the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code) (the “Bankruptcy Code”), and
the parties hereto to be entitled to the protections afforded by, among other Sections,
Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 546(e), 546(g), 555 and 560 of the Bankruptcy Code; (b)
a party’s right to liquidate the Transaction and to exercise any other remedies upon
the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Agreement with respect to the other
party to constitute a “contractual right” as described in the Bankruptcy Code; and (c)
each payment and delivery of cash, securities or other property hereunder to constitute
a “margin payment” or “settlement payment” and a “transfer” as defined in the
Bankruptcy Code.

	 
	 	(t)	 	Early Unwind. In the event the sale of the “Underwritten Securities”
(as defined in the Underwriting Agreement) is not consummated with the Underwriters for
any reason, or if Company fails to deliver to Dealer opinions of counsel as required
pursuant to Section 9(a), in each case by 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Premium
Payment Date, or such later date as agreed upon by the parties (the Premium Payment
Date or such later date, the “Early Unwind Date”), the Transaction shall automatically
terminate (the “Early Unwind”), on the Early Unwind Date and (i) the Transaction and
all of the respective rights and obligations of Dealer and Company under the
Transaction shall be cancelled and terminated and (ii) each party shall be released and
discharged by the other party from and agrees not to make any claim against the other
party with respect to any obligations or liabilities of the other party arising out of
and to be performed in connection with the Transaction either prior to or after the
Early Unwind Date; provided that Company shall reimburse Dealer for any costs or
expenses (including market losses) relating to the unwinding of its hedging activities
in connection with the Transaction (including any loss or cost incurred as a result of
terminating, liquidating, obtaining or reestablishing any hedge or related trading
position of Dealer or one or more of its affiliates in connection with the
Transaction). The amount of any such reimbursement shall be determined by Dealer in its
sole good faith discretion. Dealer shall notify Company of such amount and Company
shall pay such amount in immediately available funds on the Early Unwind Date. Each of
Dealer and Company represent and acknowledge to the other that, subject to the proviso
included in this Section, upon an Early Unwind, all obligations with respect to the
Transaction shall be deemed fully and finally discharged.

	 
	 	(u)	 	Payment by Dealer. In the event that (i) an Early Termination Date
occurs or is designated with respect to the Transaction as a result of a Termination
Event or an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default arising under Section
5(a)(ii) or 5(a)(iv) of the Agreement) and, as a result, Dealer owes to Company an
amount calculated under Section 6(e) of the Agreement, or (ii) Dealer owes to Company,
pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions, an amount
calculated under Section 12.8 of the Equity Definitions, such amount shall be deemed to
be zero.
