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 or prior to the opening of the regular trading session for  the Shares on the Exchange on the date that is one Scheduled Trading Day following any date on  which Company obtains actual knowledge that it has effected 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 as determined on such day is (i) less than 22.3  million (in the case of the first such notice) or (ii) thereafter more than 1.2 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 commercially reasonable  hedging activities as a consequence of becoming, or of the risk of becoming, a Section 16 “insider”,  including without limitation, any forbearance from commercially reasonable hedging activities or  cessation of hedging activities and any losses in connection therewith with respect to the  Transaction), claims, damages, judgments, liabilities and reasonable, documented out-of-pocket  expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), joint or several, which an Indemnified Person  actually may become subject to, in each case, 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 as a result of Company’s failure to provide Dealer with a  Repurchase Notice in accordance with this paragraph, 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 reasonable, documented  fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding.  Company shall not be liable for any  such settlement of such 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 such proceeding that is pending or threatened in respect of which 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.  Company shall be relieved from liability to the extent that  





 






      14    #95272051v4   any Indemnified Person fails promptly to notify Company of any action commenced against it in  respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder to the extent Company is materially prejudiced  as a result thereof. 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 the  Transaction.  (c) Regulation M.  Company is not on the Trade Date 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 a distribution meeting the requirements of the exception set  forth in Rules 101(b)(10) and 102(b)(7) of Regulation M.  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 the 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 manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for  the Shares) in violation of the Exchange Act.  (e) Transfer or Assignment.  Company may not transfer any of its rights or obligations under the  Transaction without the prior written consent of Dealer.  Dealer may transfer or assign all or any  part of its rights or obligations under the Transaction (x) without Company’s consent, to any wholly  owned direct or indirect subsidiary of Dealer’s ultimate parent or any nationally recognized dealer  in over-the-counter corporate equity derivatives or (y) with Company’s consent (such consent not  to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to any other third party; provided that, under the applicable  law effective on the date of such assignment, (i) Company will not, as a result of such transfer or  assignment, be required to pay the transferee or assignee on any payment date an amount under  Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement greater than the amount that Company would have been  required to pay to Dealer in the absence of such transfer or assignment, and (ii) no Event of Default,  Potential Event of Default or Termination Event will occur as a result of such transfer and  assignment.  If at any time at which (A) the Section 16 Percentage exceeds 8.5%, (B) the Warrant  Equity Percentage exceeds 14.5%, or (C) the Share Amount exceeds the Applicable Share Limit (if  any applies) (any such condition described in clauses (A), (B) or (C), an “Excess Ownership  Position”), Dealer, acting in good faith, 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 no Excess Ownership  Position exists, 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 no Excess Ownership Position exists.  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 the Transaction and a Number of Warrants equal to the  number of Warrants underlying the Terminated Portion, (2) Company were the sole Affected Party  with respect to such partial termination and (3) the Terminated Portion were 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 any of its affiliates or any other  person subject to aggregation with Dealer for purposes of the “beneficial ownership” test under  Section 13 of the Exchange Act, or any “group” (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange  Act) of which Dealer is or may be deemed to be a part beneficially owns (within the meaning of  Section 13 of the Exchange Act), without duplication, on such day (or, to the extent that for any  





 






      15    #95272051v4   reason the equivalent calculation under Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations  thereunder results in a higher number, such higher number) and (B) the denominator of which is the  number of Shares outstanding on such day.  The “Warrant Equity Percentage” as of any day is  the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the sum of (1) the product of  the Number of Warrants and the Warrant Entitlement and (2) 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 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, regulatory  order or organizational documents or contracts of Company that are, in each case, applicable to  ownership of Shares (“Applicable Restrictions”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns,  controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership under any  Applicable Restriction, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion.  The “Applicable  Share Limit” means a number of Shares equal to (A) the minimum number of Shares that, in  Dealer’s reasonable judgment based on advice of counsel, could reasonably give rise to reporting or  registration obligations (except for any filing requirements on Form 13F, Schedule 13D or Schedule  13G under the Exchange Act, in each case, as in effect on the Trade Date) or other requirements  (including obtaining prior approval from any person or entity) of a Dealer Person, or could result in  an adverse effect on a Dealer Person, under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Dealer in  its commercially reasonable discretion, minus (B) 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, or make or receive any  payment in cash, to or from Company, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell,  receive or deliver such Shares or other securities, or make or receive such payment in cash, and  otherwise to perform Dealer’s obligations in respect of the 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. Dealer shall provide Company with written notice of any transfer or  assignment on, or as promptly as practicable after, the date of such transfer or assignment.  (f) Dividends.  If at any time during the period from and including the Effective Date, to and including  the last Expiration Date, (i) an ex-dividend date for a cash dividend occurs with respect to the Shares  (an “Ex-Dividend Date”), and that dividend differs from the Regular Dividend on a per Share basis  or (ii) if no Ex-Dividend Date for a cash dividend occurs with respect to the Shares in any quarterly  dividend period of Company , then the Calculation Agent will adjust in a commercially reasonable  manner any of the Strike Price, Number of Warrants, Daily Number of Warrants, Warrant  Entitlement, Expiration Dates and/or any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or  payment of the Transaction, in each case, to preserve the fair value of the Warrants after taking into  account such dividend or lack thereof.  “Regular Dividend” shall mean for any calendar quarter,  USD 0.33 for the first regular cash dividend or distribution on the Shares for which the Ex-Dividend  Date falls within such calendar quarter, and zero for any other dividend or distribution on the Shares  for which the Ex-Dividend Date falls within the same calendar quarter.   (g) [Reserved].  (h) Additional Provisions.  (i) Amendments to the Equity Definitions and the Agreement:  (A) Section 11.2(a) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the words  “a diluting or concentrative” and replacing them with the words “a material”; and  adding the phrase “or Warrants” at the end of the sentence.

      16    #95272051v4   thereof and (z) deleting the phrase “(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 it with the phrase  “(provided that, solely in the case of Sections 11.2(e)(i), (ii)(A) and (iv), no  adjustments will be made to account solely for changes in volatility, expected  dividends, stock loan rate or liquidity relative to the relevant Shares but, for the  avoidance of doubt, solely in the case of Sections 11.2(e)(ii)(B) through (D), (iii),  (v), (vi) and (vii) adjustments may be made to account solely for changes in  volatility, expected dividends, stock loan rate or liquidity relative to the relevant  Shares).”  (C) Section 11.2(e)(vii) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the  words “a diluting or concentrative” and replacing them with the word “a  material”; and adding the phrase “or Warrants” at the end of the sentence.  (D) Section 12.6(a)(ii) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by (1) inserting  “(1)” immediately following the word “means” in the first line thereof and (2)  inserting immediately prior to the semi-colon at the end of subsection (B) thereof  the following words: “or (2) the occurrence of any of the events specified in  Section 5(a)(vii)(1) through (9) of the ISDA Master Agreement with respect to  that Issuer”.  (E) Section 12.9(b)(iv) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by:  (x) deleting (1) subsection (A) in its entirety, (2) the phrase “or (B)”  following subsection (A) and (3) the phrase “in each case” in subsection  (B); and  (y) replacing the phrase “neither the Non-Hedging Party nor the Lending  Party lends Shares” with the phrase “such Lending Party does not lend  Shares” in the penultimate sentence.  (F) Section 12.9(b)(v) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by:  (x) adding the word “or” immediately before subsection “(B)” and deleting  the comma at the end of subsection (A); and  (y) (1) deleting subsection (C) in its entirety, (2) deleting the word “or”  immediately preceding subsection (C), (3) deleting the penultimate  sentence in its entirety and replacing it with the sentence “The Hedging  Party will determine the Cancellation Amount payable by one party to  the other.” and (4) deleting clause (X) in the final sentence.  (G) Section 12(a) of the Agreement is hereby amended by (1) deleting the phrase “or  email” in the third line thereof and (2) deleting the phrase “or that communication  is delivered (or attempted) or received, as applicable, after the close of business  on a Local Business Day” in the final clause thereof.  (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, upon the occurrence of one  of the following events, with respect to the Transaction, (1) Dealer shall have the right to  designate such event an Additional Termination Event and designate an Early Termination  Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement, (2) Company shall be deemed the sole  Affected Party with respect to such Additional Termination Event and (3) the Transaction,  or, at the election of Dealer in its sole discretion, any portion of the Transaction, shall be  deemed the sole Affected Transaction; provided that if Dealer so designates an Early  Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction, (a) a payment shall be made  pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if an Early Termination Date had been designated  





 






      17    #95272051v4   in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Transaction and a Number of  Warrants equal to the number of Warrants included in the terminated portion of the  Transaction, and (b) for the avoidance of doubt, the Transaction shall remain in full force  and effect except that the Number of Warrants shall be reduced by the number of Warrants  included in such terminated portion:  (A) Except in the case of a transaction described in clause (B) below, a “person” or  “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, other than  Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and its and their employee benefit plans,  files any schedule, form or report under the Exchange Act that discloses that such  person or group has become the direct or indirect “beneficial owner,” as defined  in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, of the Shares representing more than 50%  of the voting power of the Shares, unless such beneficial ownership (i) arises  solely as a result of a revocable proxy delivered in response to a public proxy or  consent solicitation made pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations under  the Exchange Act and (ii) is not also then reportable on Schedule 13D or Schedule  13G (or any successor schedule) under the Exchange Act as a result thereof;  provided that no person or group shall be deemed to be the beneficial owner of  any securities tendered pursuant to a tender or exchange offer made by or on  behalf of such person or group until such tendered securities are accepted for  purchase or exchange under such offer.   (B) Consummation of (I) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Shares  (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination or a change  solely in par value) as a result of which the Shares would be converted into, or  exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets, (II) any share  exchange, consolidation or merger of Company pursuant to which the Shares will  be converted into cash, securities or other property or assets or (III) 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 or more of Company’s wholly owned direct or  indirect subsidiaries.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any transaction or  transactions set forth in clause (A) above or this clause (B) shall not constitute an  Additional Termination Event if (x) at least 90% of the consideration received or  to be received by holders of the Shares, excluding cash payments for fractional  Shares and cash payments made in respect of dissenters’ appraisal rights, in  connection with such transaction or transactions consists of shares of common  stock that are listed or quoted on any of The New York Stock Exchange, The  Nasdaq Global Select Market or The Nasdaq Global Market (or any of their  respective successors) or will be so listed or quoted when issued or exchanged in  connection with such transaction or transactions, and (y) as a result of such  transaction or transactions, the Shares will consist of such consideration,  excluding cash payments for fractional Shares and cash payments made in respect  of dissenters’ appraisal rights.  (C) Default by Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries with respect to any  mortgage, agreement or other instrument under which there is outstanding, or by  which there is secured or evidenced, any indebtedness for money borrowed in  excess of $50 million (or its foreign currency equivalent) in the aggregate of  Company and/or any such subsidiary, whether such indebtedness exists as of the  Premium Payment Date or is thereafter created, where such default (i) results in  such indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable prior to its stated  maturity date or (ii) constitutes a failure to pay the principal or interest of any such  debt when due and payable (after the expiration of all applicable grace periods) at  its stated maturity, upon required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or  otherwise, and in the cases of clauses (i) and (ii), such acceleration shall not have  





 






      18    #95272051v4   been rescinded or annulled or such failure to pay or default shall not have been  cured or waived, or such indebtedness is not paid or discharged, as the case may  be, within 30 days after written notice to Company in accordance with the relevant  indenture.  (D) A final judgment or judgments for the payment of $50 million (or its foreign  currency equivalent) or more (excluding any amounts covered by insurance) in  the aggregate rendered against Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries,  which judgment is not discharged, bonded, paid, waived or stayed within 60 days  after (I) the date on which the right to appeal thereof has expired if no such appeal  has commenced, or (II) the date on which all rights to appeal have been  extinguished.  (E) Dealer reasonably determines, based on advice of counsel, that hedging its  exposure with respect to the Transaction in the public market without registration  under the Securities Act would raise material risks under applicable securities  laws or 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, but provided that such policies  and procedures have been adopted by Dealer in good faith and are generally  applicable in similar situations and applied in a non-discriminatory manner).  “Significant Subsidiary” means a subsidiary that is a “significant subsidiary” as defined  in Article 1, Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange  Commission.  (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.  The provisions of Section 2(c) of the Agreement shall not apply to the Transaction. Each  party waives any and all rights it may have to set-off delivery or payment obligations it owes to the  other party under the Agreement and the Transaction against any delivery or payment obligations  owed to it by the other party under 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.    (i) If (a) an Early Termination Date (whether as a result of an Event of Default or a Termination  Event) occurs or is designated with respect to the Transaction or (b) the Transaction is  cancelled or terminated upon the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event (except as a result  of (i) a Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event in which the consideration to be paid  to holders of Shares consists solely of cash, (ii) a Merger Event or Tender Offer that is  within Company’s control, or (iii) 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 if Company would  owe any amount to Dealer pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement or any  Cancellation Amount pursuant to Article 12 of the Equity Definitions (any such amount, a  “Payment Obligation”), then Company shall satisfy the Payment Obligation by the Share  Termination Alternative (as defined below), unless (a) Company gives 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, as applicable, of its election that the Share  Termination Alternative shall not apply and (b) Company acknowledges to Dealer, as of  the date of such election, its responsibilities under applicable securities laws, and in  





 






      19    #95272051v4   particular Section 9 and Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations  thereunder, in connection with such election, in which case the provisions of Section 12.7  or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions, or the provisions of Section 6(d)(ii) of the  Agreement, as the case may be, shall apply.    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, as  applicable, subject to Section 9(k)(i) below, in  satisfaction, subject to Section 9(k)(ii) below, of the  relevant Payment Obligation, in the manner  reasonably requested by Dealer free of payment.   Share Termination Delivery   Property:  A number of Share Termination Delivery Units, as  calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the  relevant 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  (without giving effect to any discount pursuant to  Section 9(k)(i)).  Share Termination Unit Price:  The value 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.  In the case of a  Private Placement of Share Termination Delivery  Units that are Restricted Shares (as defined below), as  set forth in Section 9(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  Section 9(k)(ii) below, notwithstanding the foregoing,  the Share Termination Unit Price shall be the  Settlement Price 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, as  applicable.  The Calculation Agent shall notify  Company of the Share Termination Unit Price at the  time of notification of such Payment Obligation to  Company or, if applicable, at the time the discounted  price applicable to the relevant Share Termination  Units is determined pursuant to Section 9(k)(i).    





 






      20    #95272051v4   Share Termination Delivery Unit:  One Share or, if the Shares have changed into cash or  any other property or the right to receive cash or any  other property as the result of a Nationalization,  Insolvency or Merger Event (any such cash or other  property, the “Exchange Property”), a unit consisting  of the type and amount of Exchange 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 or Merger Event.  If such  Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event involves  a choice of Exchange Property 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 and 9.12 (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 the Transaction  means that the Share Termination Alternative is  applicable to the Transaction.  (k) Registration/Private Placement Procedures.  If, in the good faith, reasonable opinion of Dealer,  based on advice from counsel, 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, if Dealer notifies Company of the need for registration  or private placement procedures set forth in this Section 9(k), then Company shall elect, prior to the  later of (x) the first Settlement Date for the first applicable Expiration Date and (y) the third  Scheduled Trading Day following the date of such notification, a Private Placement Settlement or  Registration Settlement, consistent with transactions of a similar size, for all deliveries of Restricted  Shares for all such Expiration Dates which election shall be applicable to all remaining 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 commercially reasonable adjustments, consistent  with transactions of a similar size, to settlement terms and provisions under this Confirmation to  reflect a single Private Placement or Registration Settlement for such aggregate Restricted Shares  delivered hereunder.  





 






      21    #95272051v4   (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 for private placements of equity securities of a  substantially similar size 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(a)(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(a)(1) or Section 4(a)(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 in each case, that agrees to enter into a confidentiality agreement with Company  in customary form for due diligence investigations similar in scope), opinions and  certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for private placement  agreements for private placements of equity securities of comparable size of companies of  comparable size, maturity and line of business (but provided that Company shall only be  required to use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver any such documentation the  delivery of which is not entirely within Company’s control), all reasonably acceptable to  Dealer.  In the case of a Private Placement Settlement, Dealer shall determine the  appropriate commercially reasonable discount to the Share Termination Unit Price (in the  case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to Section 9(j) above) or  premium to 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, which discount or premium, as the case may be, shall only take into account the  illiquidity resulting from the fact that the Restricted Shares will not be registered for resale  and any commercially reasonable fees and expenses of Dealer (and any affiliate thereof) in  connection with such resale.  Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary in 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 or  premium, as the case may be, 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 Section 9(j)  above) or on the Settlement Date for such Restricted Shares (in the case of settlement in  Shares pursuant to Section 2 above).   (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 for  registered secondary offerings of a substantially similar size, 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 for registered  secondary offerings of equity securities of comparable size of companies of comparable  size, maturity and line of business, 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

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 Business Day immediately following such resale 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 such day (as if such day was the “Valuation  Date” for purposes of computing such Settlement Price), has a dollar value equal to the  Additional Amount.  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.  (iii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Company agrees that (A) any Restricted  Shares delivered to Dealer may be transferred by and among Dealer and its affiliates and  Company shall effect such transfer without any further action by Dealer and (B) 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) under the Securities Act are not satisfied with  respect to Company) has elapsed in respect of any Restricted Shares delivered to Dealer  unless Dealer is an affiliate of Company at such time, or has been an affiliate of Company  in the immediately preceding 90 days, 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). 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.  (iv) 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 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 Section 16 Percentage would exceed 9.0%, or (ii) the Share Amount  would exceed the Applicable Share Limit.  Any purported delivery hereunder shall be void and have  





 






      23    #95272051v4   no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after such delivery, (i) the Section 16 Percentage  would exceed 9.0%, or (ii) the Share Amount would exceed the Applicable Share Limit. 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 Section 16 Percentage would not  exceed 9.0%, and (ii) the Share Amount would not exceed the Applicable Share Limit.   (m) Share Deliveries. 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.    (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 the Transaction.   Each party (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of the other party has represented,  expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of such a suit, action or  proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other party  have been induced to enter into the Transaction, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual  waivers and certifications provided herein.  (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.    (i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Confirmation, the Agreement or the Equity  Definitions, in no event will Company at any time be required to deliver a number of Shares  greater than 1,123,730 (the “Maximum Number of Shares”) to Dealer in connection with  the Transaction.   (ii) In the event Company shall not have delivered to Dealer the full number of Shares or  Restricted Shares otherwise deliverable by Company to Dealer pursuant to the terms of the  Transaction because Company has insufficient authorized but unissued Shares that are not  reserved for other transactions (such deficit, the “Deficit Shares”), Company shall be  continually obligated to deliver, from time to time, Shares or Restricted Shares, as the case  may be, to Dealer until the full number of Deficit Shares have been delivered pursuant to  this Section 9(p)(ii), when, and to the extent that, (A) 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), (B) authorized and  unissued Shares previously reserved for issuance in respect of other transactions become  no longer so reserved or (C) Company additionally authorizes any unissued Shares that are  not reserved for other transactions; provided that in no event shall Company deliver any  Shares or Restricted Shares to Dealer pursuant to this Section 9(p)(ii) to the extent that  such delivery would cause the aggregate number of Shares and Restricted Shares delivered  to Dealer to exceed the Maximum Number of Shares.  Company shall immediately notify  Dealer of the occurrence of any of the foregoing events (including the number of Shares  subject to clause (A), (B) or (C) and the corresponding number of Shares or Restricted  Shares, as the case may be, to be delivered) and promptly deliver such Shares or Restricted  Shares, as the case may be, thereafter.  (q) Right to Extend.  The Calculation Agent may postpone or add, in a commercially reasonable manner,  in whole or in part, any Expiration Date or any other date of valuation or delivery with respect to  





 






      24    #95272051v4   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 commercially reasonable hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in  light of existing liquidity conditions (but only if liquidity as of the relevant time is less than the  Calculation Agent’s commercially reasonable expectations of liquidity at such time as of the Trade  Date) or based on advice of counsel, to enable a dealer to effect transactions with respect to Shares  in connection with its commercially reasonable hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity  hereunder in a manner that would, if such 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; provided that such policies and procedures have been  adopted by Dealer in good faith and are generally applicable in similar situations and applied in a  non-discriminatory manner; provided further that no such Expiration Date or other date of valuation,  payment or delivery may be postponed or added more than 80 Scheduled Trading Days after the  original Expiration Date or other date of valuation, payment or delivery, as the case may be.  (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 (i) 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, (ii) 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 (iii) 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) Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act.  In connection with Section 739 of the Wall Street  Transparency and Accountability Act of 2010 (“WSTAA”), the parties hereby agree that neither the  enactment of WSTAA or any regulation under the WSTAA, nor any requirement under WSTAA or  an amendment made by WSTAA, shall limit or otherwise impair either party’s otherwise applicable  rights to terminate, renegotiate, modify, amend or supplement this Confirmation or the Agreement,  as applicable, arising from a termination event, force majeure, illegality, increased costs, regulatory  change or similar event under this Confirmation, the Equity Definitions incorporated herein, or the  Agreement (including, but not limited to, rights arising from Change in Law, Hedging Disruption,  Increased Cost of Hedging, an Excess Ownership Position, or Illegality (as defined in the  Agreement)).  (u) Agreements and Acknowledgements Regarding Hedging. Company understands, acknowledges and  agrees that: (A) at any time on and prior to the last Expiration Date, Dealer and its affiliates may  buy or sell Shares or other securities or buy or sell options or futures contracts or enter into swaps  or other derivative securities in order to adjust its hedge position with respect to the Transaction;   (B) Dealer and its affiliates also may be active in the market for Shares other than in connection  with hedging activities in relation to the Transaction; (C) Dealer shall make its own determination  as to whether, when or in what manner any hedging or market activities in securities of Issuer shall  be conducted and shall do so in a manner that it deems appropriate to hedge its price and market  risk with respect to the Settlement Prices; and (D) any market activities of Dealer and its affiliates  with respect to Shares may affect the market price and volatility of Shares, as well as the Settlement  Prices, each in a manner that may be adverse to Company.

Each of Dealer and Company represents and acknowledges to the other that upon an Early Unwind,  all obligations with respect to the Transaction shall be deemed fully and finally discharged.  (w) 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.  (x) Listing of Warrant Shares.  Company shall have submitted an application for the listing of the  Warrant Shares on the Exchange, and such application and listing shall have been approved by the  Exchange, subject only to official notice of issuance, in each case, on or prior to the Premium  Payment Date.

(z) Delivery or Receipt of Cash.  For the avoidance of doubt, other than receipt of the Premium by  Company, nothing in this Confirmation shall be interpreted as requiring Company to cash settle the  Transaction, except in circumstances where cash settlement is within Company’s control (including,  without limitation, where Company elects to deliver or receive cash, or where Company has made  Private Placement Settlement unavailable due to the occurrence of events within its control) or in  those circumstances in which holders of Shares would also receive cash.
