6.     Representations,
Warranties and Agreements:


(a)           In
addition to the representations, warranties and agreements in the Agreement and
those contained elsewhere herein, Counterparty represents and warrants to and
for the benefit of, and agrees with, Dealer as follows:


(i)            On the
Trade Date and on any Additional Premium Date (A) none of Counterparty and
its officers and directors is aware of any material nonpublic information
regarding Counterparty or the Shares and (B) all reports and other
documents filed by Counterparty with the Securities and Exchange Commission
pursuant to the Exchange Act when considered as a whole (with the more recent
such reports and documents deemed to amend inconsistent statements contained in
any earlier such reports and documents), do not contain any untrue statement of
a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.


(ii)           Counterparty
intends the Transaction to qualify as an equity instrument for purposes of EITF
Issue No. 00-19.  Without limiting the generality of Section 13.1 of the Equity
Definitions, Counterparty acknowledges that Dealer is not making any
representations or warranties with respect to the treatment of the Transaction
under any accounting standards including FASB Statements 128, 133 ( as
amended), 149 or 150, EITF Issue No. 00-19, 01-6 or 03-6 (or any successor
issue statements) or under FASB’s Liabilities & Equity Project.


(iii)          Prior
to the Trade Date, Counterparty shall deliver to Dealer a resolution of
Counterparty’s board of directors authorizing the Transaction and such other
certificate or certificates as Dealer shall reasonably request.


(iv)          On the
Trade Date and on any Additional Premium Date, without limiting the generality
of Section 3(a)(iii) of the Agreement, the Transaction will not violate Rule
13e-1 or Rule 13e-4 under the Exchange Act.


(v)           Counterparty
is not entering into this Confirmation to create actual or apparent trading
activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for
Shares) or to manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible
into or exchangeable for Shares) or otherwise in violation of the Exchange Act.


(vi)          Counterparty
is not, and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby will
not be, an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended.


(vii)         On
the Trade Date and on any Additional Premium Payment Date (A) the assets
of Counterparty at their fair valuation exceed the liabilities of Counterparty,
including contingent liabilities, (B) the capital of Counterparty is
adequate to conduct the business of Counterparty and (C) Counterparty has
the ability to pay its debts and obligations as such debts mature and does not
intend to, or does not believe that it will, incur debt beyond its ability to
pay as such debts mature.


(viii)        (A) During
each period starting on the first Expiration Date and ending on the last
Expiration Date, in each case sharing a common Final Disruption Date (each a “Settlement
Period”), the Shares or securities that are convertible into, or
exchangeable or exercisable for Shares shall not be, subject to a “restricted
period,” as such term is defined in Regulation M under the Exchange Act (“Regulation
M”) and (B) Counterparty shall not engage in any “distribution,” as such term
is defined in Regulation M, other than a distribution meeting the requirements
of the exceptions set forth in sections 101(b)(10) and 102(b)(7) of Regulation
M, until the second Exchange Business Day immediately following the relevant
Settlement Period.


(ix)           During
each Settlement Period, neither Counterparty nor any “affiliate” or “affiliated
purchaser” (each as defined in Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act (“Rule
10b-18”)) shall directly or indirectly (including, without limitation, by
means of any cash-settled or other derivative instrument) purchase, offer to



 9
 









purchase, place any bid or limit order that would
effect a purchase of, or commence any tender offer relating to, any Shares (or
an equivalent interest, including a unit of beneficial interest in a trust or
limited partnership or a depository share) or any security convertible into or
exchangeable or exercisable for Shares.


(b)           Each of
Dealer and Counterparty agrees and represents that it is an “eligible contract
participant” as defined in Section 1a(12) of the U.S. Commodity Exchange Act,
as amended.


(c)           Each of
Dealer and Counterparty acknowledges that the offer and sale of the Transaction
to it is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), by virtue of Section 4(2)
thereof.  Accordingly, Counterparty
represents and warrants to Dealer and Dealer represents to Counterparty that
(i) it has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of its investment in
the Transaction and is able to bear a total loss of its investment and its
investments in and liabilities in respect of the Transaction, which it
understands are not readily marketable, are not disproportionate to its net
worth, and it is able to bear any loss in connection with the Transaction,
including the loss of its entire investment in the Transaction, (ii) it is an
“accredited investor” as that term is defined in Regulation D as promulgated
under the Securities Act, (iii) it is entering into the Transaction for its own
account without a view to the distribution or resale thereof, (iv) the
assignment, transfer or other disposition of the Transaction has not been and
will not be registered under the Securities Act and is restricted under this
Confirmation, the Securities Act and state securities laws, (v) its financial
condition is such that it has no need for liquidity with respect to its
investment in the Transaction and no need to dispose of any portion thereof to
satisfy any existing or contemplated undertaking or indebtedness and is capable
of assessing the merits of and understanding (on its own behalf or through
independent professional advice), and understands and accepts, the terms,
conditions and risks of the Transaction.


(d)           Each of Dealer and Counterparty agrees and acknowledges
that Dealer is a “financial institution,” “swap participant” and/or “financial
participant” within the meaning of Sections 101(22), 101(53C) and 101(22A) of
Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy
Code”).  The parties hereto
further agree and acknowledge (A) that this Confirmation is (i) a
“securities contract,” as such term is defined in Section 741(7) of the
Bankruptcy Code, with respect to which each payment and delivery hereunder is a
“settlement payment,” as such term is defined in Section 741(8) of the
Bankruptcy Code, and (ii) a “swap agreement,” as such term is defined in
Section 101(53B) of the Bankruptcy Code, with respect to which each payment and
delivery hereunder is a “transfer,” as such term is defined in Section 101(54)
of the Bankruptcy Code, and (B) that Dealer is entitled to the protections
afforded by, among other sections, Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 546(e),
546(g), 555 and 560 of the Bankruptcy Code.


(e)           Counterparty
hereby agrees and acknowledges that the Transaction has not been registered
with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any state securities commission
and that the Options are being written by Dealer to Counterparty in reliance
upon exemptions from any such registration requirements.  Counterparty acknowledges that all Options
acquired from Dealer will be acquired for investment purposes only and not for
the purpose of resale or other transfer except in compliance with the
requirements of the Securities Act. 
Counterparty will not sell or otherwise transfer any Option or any
interest therein except in compliance with the requirements of the Securities
Act and any subsequent offer or sale of the Options will be solely for
Counterparty’s account and not as part of a distribution that would be in violation
of the Securities Act.


7.     Repurchase
Notices.  Counterparty shall, on any
day on which Counterparty 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 Notice Percentage as determined on
such day is greater by 0.5% than the Notice Percentage included in the
immediately preceding Repurchase Notice (or, in the case of the first such
Repurchase Notice or the first such Repurchase Notice after the initial Final
Disruption Date, greater than 4.5%.  The
“Notice Percentage” as of any day is the fraction (A) the numerator of
which is the aggregate of the Number of Shares for all Components under this
Transaction and all other Transactions and (B) the denominator of which is the
number of Shares outstanding on such day. 
In the event that Counterparty fails to provide Dealer with a Repurchase
Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this Section 7, then Counterparty
to the extent permitted by law agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Dealer,
its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and
controlling persons (Dealer and each such person being 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 and liabilities
(or actions in respect thereof), joint or several,



 10
 









to which such
Indemnified Person is subject, including without limitation, Section 16 of the
Exchange Act), relating to or arising out of such failure.  If for any reason the foregoing
indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Person or insufficient to
hold harmless any Indemnified Person, then Counterparty shall contribute, to the
maximum extent permitted by law, to the amount paid or payable by the
Indemnified Person as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability.  In addition, Counterparty will reimburse any
Indemnified Person for all reasonable expenses (including reasonable counsel
fees and expenses) as they are incurred (after notice to Counterparty) in
connection with the investigation of, preparation for or defense or settlement
of any pending or threatened claim or any action, suit or proceeding (including
any governmental or regulatory investigation) arising therefrom, whether or not
such Indemnified Person is a party thereto and whether or not such claim,
action, suit or proceeding is initiated or brought by or on behalf of
Counterparty.  This indemnity shall survive
the completion of the Transaction contemplated by this Confirmation and any
assignment and delegation of the Transaction made pursuant to this Confirmation
or the Agreement shall inure to the benefit of any permitted assignee of
Dealer.  Issuer will not be liable under
this indemnity provision to the extent any loss, claim, damage, liability or
expense is found in a final judgment by a court to have resulted from Dealer’s
gross negligence or willful misconduct.


8.     Transfer
or Assignment.  Neither party may
transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Transaction without the
prior written consent of the non-transferring party; provided that if at any time the Equity Percentage exceeds
9%, Dealer may immediately, in its sole discretion, transfer or assign a number
of Options sufficient to reduce the Equity Percentage to 8.5% to any third
party with (or with a guarantor that has) a rating for its long-term, unsecured
and unsubordinated indebtedness of AA or better by Standard & Poor’s
Ratings Services or its successor (“S&P”),
or Aa2 or better by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or, if either S&P or
Moody’s ceases to rate such debt, at least an equivalent rating or better by a
substitute agency rating mutually agreed by Counterparty and Dealer.  If, in the discretion of Dealer, Dealer is
unable to effect such transfer or assignment after its commercially reasonable
efforts on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to Dealer, Dealer may designate
any Scheduled Trading Day as an Early Termination Date and an Additional
Termination Date shall be deemed to occur with respect to a portion (the “Terminated Portion”) of this
Transaction, allocated to Components as Dealer determines in its discretion,
such that the Equity Percentage following such partial termination will be
equal to or less than 8.5%.  In the event
that Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion
of this Transaction, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the
Agreement as if (i) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of
a Transaction having terms identical to this Transaction and a Number of
Options equal to the Terminated Portion, (ii) Counterparty shall be the
Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (iii) such portion
of this Transaction shall be the only Affected Transaction.  The “Equity Percentage” as of any day is the fraction (A) the
numerator of which is the number of Shares that Dealer or any of its affiliates
that are subject to aggregation with Dealer beneficially own (within the
meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act) on such day and (B) the denominator
of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day.  Notwithstanding Section 7 of the Agreement,
Counterparty may assign its rights and obligations under this Transaction, in
whole or in part, on terms reasonably acceptable to both parties, without any
payment being owed from Counterparty to Dealer.


9.     Extension of
Settlement.   Dealer may divide any
Component into additional Components and designate the Expiration Date, the
Final Disruption Date and the Number of Options for each such Component if
Dealer determines, in its reasonable discretion, that such further division is
necessary or advisable to preserve Dealer’s hedging activity hereunder in light
of existing liquidity conditions or to enable Dealer to effect purchases of
Shares in connection with its hedging activity hereunder in a manner that
would, if Dealer were Counterparty or an affiliated purchaser of Counterparty,
be compliant with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.


10.     Early Termination Right.  Counterparty may elect to terminate this
Transaction, in whole or in part, prior to the relevant Expiration Date, on
terms acceptable to both parties, and, if such termination occurs following the
payment of the premiums for all Components, without any payment being owed from
Counterparty to Dealer.


11.   Equity Rights.  Dealer acknowledges and agrees that this
Confirmation is not intended to convey to it rights with respect to the
Transaction that are senior to the claims of common stockholders in the event
of Counterparty’s bankruptcy.  For the
avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that the preceding sentence shall not
apply at any time other than during Counterparty’s bankruptcy to any claim
arising as a result of a breach by Counterparty of any of its obligations under
this Confirmation or the Agreement.  For
the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that this Confirmation is not
secured by any collateral that would otherwise secure the obligations of
Counterparty herein under or pursuant to any other agreement.



 11
 









12.   Alternative
Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary
Events.  If Dealer shall owe
Counterparty any amount pursuant to Section 12.2 of the Equity Definitions and
“Consequences of Merger Events” above, or Sections 12.3, 12.6, 12.7 or 12.9 of
the Equity Definitions (except in the event of a Tender Offer or a Merger
Event, in each case, in which the consideration or proceeds to be paid to
holders of Shares consists solely of cash) or pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of
the Agreement (except in the event of an Event of Default in which Counterparty
is the Defaulting Party or a Termination Event in which Counterparty is the
Affected Party, that resulted from an event or events within Counterparty’s
control) (a “Payment Obligation”), Counterparty shall have the right, in
its sole discretion, to require Dealer to satisfy any such Payment Obligation
by the Share Termination Alternative (as defined below) by giving irrevocable
telephonic notice to Dealer, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading
Day, between the hours of 9:00 A.M. and 4:00 P.M. New York City time on the
Merger Date, Tender Offer Date, Announcement Date, Early Termination Date or
other date of termination, as applicable (“Notice of Share Termination”).  Within a commercially reasonable period of
time following receipt of a Notice of Share Termination, Dealer shall deliver
to Counterparty a number of Share Termination Delivery Units having a cash
value equal to the amount of such Payment Obligation (such number of Share
Termination Delivery Units to be delivered to be determined by the Calculation
Agent as the number of whole Share Termination Delivery Units that could be
purchased over a commercially reasonable period of time with the cash
equivalent of such payment obligation) (the “Share Termination Alternative”).


	
  Share Termination Delivery Unit:

  	
  In the case of a Termination Event, Event of
  Default, Delisting or Additional Disruption Event, one Share or, in the case
  of an Insolvency, Nationalization, Merger Event or Tender Offer, one Share or
  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 Insolvency, Nationalization, Merger Event or Tender Offer. If such
  Insolvency, Nationalization, Merger Event or Tender Offer 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:

  	
  Applicable

  
	
   

  	
   

  
	
  Other applicable provisions:

  	
  If Share Termination Alternative is applicable, the
  provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.10, 9.11 and 9.12 of the Equity
  Definitions will be applicable as if Physical Settlement applied to the
  termination of the Transaction, except that all references to “Shares” shall
  be read as references to “Share Termination Delivery Units”; and provided that the Representation and
  Agreement contained in Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions shall be
  modified by excluding any representations therein relating to restrictions,
  obligations, limitations or requirements under applicable securities laws as
  a result of the fact that Buyer is the issuer of any Share Termination
  Delivery Units (or any part thereof).

  



 


13.   Set-Off.  The parties agree to amend Section 6 of the
Agreement by replacing Section 6(f) in its entirety with the following:


“(f)  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or
Termination Event with respect to a party who is the Defaulting Party or the
Affected Party (“X”), the other party (“Y”) will have the right
(but not be obliged) without prior notice to X or any other person to set-off
or apply any obligation of X under an Equity Contract owed to Y (or any
Affiliate of Y) (whether or not matured or contingent and whether or not
arising under the Agreement, and regardless of the currency, place of payment
or booking office of the obligation) against any obligation of Y (or any
Affiliate of Y) under an Equity Contract owed to X (whether or not matured or
contingent and whether or not arising under the Agreement, and regardless of
the currency, place of payment or booking office of the obligation).  Y will give notice to the other party of any
set-off effected under this Section 6(f).


“Equity Contract”
shall mean for purposes of this Section 6(f) any transaction relating to Shares
between X and Y (or any Affiliate of Y) that qualifies as ‘equity’ under
applicable accounting rules.



 12
 









Amounts (or the relevant
portion of such amounts) subject to set-off may be converted by Y into the
Termination Currency at the rate of exchange at which such party would be able,
acting in a reasonable manner and in good faith, to purchase the relevant
amount of such currency.


If any obligation is
unascertained, Y may in good faith estimate that obligation and set-off in
respect of the estimate, subject to the relevant party accounting to the other
when the obligation is ascertained.


Nothing in this Section
6(f) shall be effective to create a charge or other security interest.  This Section 6(f) shall be without prejudice
and in addition to any right of set-off, combination of accounts, lien or other
right to which any party is at any time otherwise entitled (whether by
operation of law, contract or otherwise).”


14.   Amendment to Equity
Definitions.  Solely for purposes of
applying the Equity Definitions and for purposes of this Confirmation, any
reference in the Equity Definitions to a Strike Price shall be deemed to be a
reference to either of the Strike Price or the Cap Price, or both, as
appropriate.


15.   Disclosure.  Effective from the date of commencement of
discussions concerning the Transaction, Counterparty 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 Counterparty relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.


16.   Unwind.  In the event the sale of the Convertible
Notes is not consummated with the initial purchasers pursuant to the
Underwriting Agreement, for any reason by the close of business in New York on
May 23, 2007 (or such later date as agreed upon by the parties which in no
event shall be later than the third Scheduled Trading Day following May 17,
2007) (such date or such later date as agreed upon being the “Accelerated
Unwind Date”), this Transaction shall automatically terminate (the “Accelerated
Unwind”) on the Accelerated Unwind Date and (i) this Transaction and all of
the respective rights and obligations of Dealer and Counterparty under this 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 this Transaction either
prior to or after the Accelerated Unwind Date; provided that
Counterparty 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 its
terminating, liquidating, obtaining or reestablishing any hedge or related
trading position).  The amount of any such
reimbursement shall be determined by Dealer in its sole good faith
discretion.  Dealer shall notify
Counterparty of such amount and Counterparty shall pay such amount in
immediately available funds on the Early Unwind Date.  Dealer and Counterparty represent and
acknowledge to the other that upon an Accelerated Unwind and the satisfaction
of counterparty’s payment obligation, if any, as specified in this
Section 16, all obligations with respect to this Transaction shall be
deemed fully and finally discharged.


17.   Additional Provisions.  Counterparty understands and agrees that
Agent will act as agent for both parties with respect to the Transaction.  Agent is so acting solely in its capacity as
agent for Counterparty and Dealer pursuant to instructions from Counterparty
and Dealer.  Agent shall have no
responsibility or personal liability to either party arising from any failure
by either party to pay or perform any obligation under the Transaction.  Each party agrees to proceed solely against
the other to collect or recover any amount owing to it or enforce any of its
rights in connection with or as a result of the Transaction.


Notwithstanding any provisions of the Agreement, all communications
relating to the Transaction or the Agreement shall be transmitted exclusively

19.   Disposition of
Hedge Shares.  Counterparty hereby
agrees that if, in the reasonable judgment of counsel for the Dealer, the
Shares (the “Hedge Shares”) acquired by Dealer for the purpose of hedging its
obligations pursuant to the Transaction cannot be sold in the U.S. public
market by Dealer without registration under the Securities Act, Counterparty
shall, at its election: (i) in order to allow Dealer to sell the Hedge Shares
in a registered offering, use its commercially reasonable efforts to make
available to Dealer an effective registration statement under the Securities
Act to cover the resale of such Hedge Shares and (A) enter into an agreement,
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Dealer, substantially in the
form of an underwriting agreement for a registered offering, (B) provide accountant’s
“comfort” letters in customary form for registered offerings of equity
securities, (C) provide disclosure opinions of nationally recognized outside
counsel to Counterparty customary in form for registered offerings of equity
securities, (D) provide other customary opinions, certificates and closing
documents customary in form for registered offerings of equity securities and
(E) afford Dealer a reasonable opportunity to conduct a “due diligence”
investigation with respect to Counterparty customary in scope for underwritten
offerings of equity securities; provided,
however, that if Dealer, in its reasonable discretion, is not
satisfied with access to due diligence materials, the results of its due
diligence investigation, or the procedures and documentation for the registered
offering referred to above, then clause (ii) or clause (iii) of this Section 18
shall apply at the election of Counterparty; (ii) in order to allow Dealer to
sell the Hedge Shares in a private placement, enter into a private placement
agreement substantially similar to private placement purchase agreements
customary for private placements of equity securities, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Dealer, including 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 Hedge Shares from Dealer), opinions and certificates and such other
documentation as is customary for private placements agreements, all reasonably
acceptable to Dealer (in which case, the Calculation Agent shall make any
adjustments to the terms of the Transaction that are necessary, in its
reasonable judgment, to compensate Dealer for any discount from the public
market price of the Shares incurred on the sale of Hedge Shares in a private
placement); or (iii) purchase the Hedge Shares from Dealer at the VWAP Price on
such Exchange Business Days, and in the amounts, as requested by Dealer.
