	 	Convertible Bond Hedge Transaction
	 

	 	(Transaction Reference Number:            )






Ladies and Gentlemen:




     The purpose of this communication (this “Confirmation”) is to set forth the terms and
conditions of the above-referenced transaction entered into on the Trade Date specified below (the
“Transaction”) between [Dealer] (“Dealer”) and Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation
(“Counterparty”). This communication constitutes a “Confirmation” as referred to in the ISDA
Master Agreement specified below.



     1. This Confirmation is subject to, and incorporates, the definitions and provisions of the
2000 ISDA Definitions (including the Annex thereto) (the “2000 Definitions”) and the definitions
and provisions of the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “Equity Definitions”, and
together with the 2000 Definitions, the “Definitions”), in each case as published by the
International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”). In the event of any inconsistency
between the 2000 Definitions and the Equity Definitions, the Equity Definitions will govern.
Certain defined terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture to be dated
as of June 11, 2007 between Counterparty and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as trustee (the “Indenture”)
relating to the USD 150,000,000 principal amount of 2.75% convertible securities due 2010 (the
“Convertible Securities”). In the event of any inconsistency between the terms defined in the
Indenture and this Confirmation, this Confirmation shall govern. For the avoidance of doubt,
references herein to sections of the Indenture are based on the draft of the Indenture most
recently reviewed by the parties at the time of execution of this Confirmation. If any relevant
sections of the Indenture are changed, added or renumbered following execution of this Confirmation
but prior to or upon the execution of the Indenture, the parties will amend this Confirmation in
good faith to preserve the economic intent of the parties.



     This Confirmation evidences a complete and binding agreement between Dealer and Counterparty
as to the terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates. This Confirmation shall be
subject to an agreement (the “Agreement”) in the form of the ISDA 2002 Master Agreement (the “ISDA
Form”) as if Dealer and Counterparty had executed an agreement in such form (without any Schedule
but with the elections set forth in this Confirmation). For the avoidance of doubt, the
Transaction shall be the only transaction under the Agreement.



     All provisions contained in, or incorporated by reference to, the Agreement will govern this
Confirmation except as expressly modified herein. In the event of any inconsistency between this
Confirmation and either the Definitions or the Agreement, this Confirmation shall govern.



     2. The Transaction constitutes a Share Option Transaction for purposes of the Equity
Definitions. The terms of the particular Transaction to which this Confirmation relates are as
follows:

Exchange on such Valid Day (or if such volume-weighted
average price is unavailable, the market value of one

obligations, limitations or requirements under applicable securities laws arising as a
result of the fact that Counterparty is the Issuer of the Shares) and 9.12 of the

Settled” in relation to any Option means that Dealer is obligated to deliver Shares
hereunder.
	 
	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	Restricted
Certificated Shares:
	 	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Equity
Definitions, Dealer may, in whole or in part, deliver Shares in certificated form
representing the Number of Shares to be Delivered to Counterparty in lieu of delivery
through the Clearance System. With respect to such certificated Shares, the

	Share Adjustments:	 	 
	 
	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	Method of Adjustment:

event shall there be any adjustment hereunder as a result of an adjustment to the

Immediately upon the occurrence of any adjustment of the Conversion Rate pursuant to
Section 10.04, Counterparty shall notify the Calculation Agent of such adjustment, and
once the adjustments to be made to the terms of the Indenture and the Convertible
Securities in respect of such adjustment have been determined, Counterparty shall
immediately notify the Calculation Agent in writing of the details of such adjustments.

	 	Consequences of Merger
Events and Tender
Offers:

more of the nature of the Shares, the Number of Options, the Option Entitlement and any
other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment for the Transaction;
provided that such adjustment shall be made without regard to any adjustment to the

and provided further that the Calculation Agent may limit or alter any such adjustment
referenced in this paragraph so that the fair value of the Transaction to Dealer is not
reduced as a result of such adjustment.
	 
	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	Nationalization,
Insolvency
or Delisting:

     (i) On the Trade 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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

     (ii) (A) On the Trade Date, the Shares or securities that are convertible into, or
exchangeable or exercisable for Shares, are not, and shall not be, subject to a “restricted
period,” as such term is defined in Regulation M under the Exchange Act (“Regulation M”) and

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

directly or indirectly (including, without limitation, by means of any cash-settled or other
derivative instrument) purchase, offer to purchase, place any bid or limit order that would

under FASB’s Liabilities & Equity Project.




     (v) 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.




     (vi) 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.




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




     (viii) 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.




     (ix) On each of the Trade Date, the Premium Payment Date and the Additional Premium
Payment Date, if any (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.




     (x) The representations and warranties of Counterparty set forth in Section 3 of the
Agreement and Section 1 of the Purchase Agreement are true and correct and are hereby deemed
to be repeated to Dealer as if set forth herein.




     (xi) Counterparty understands no obligations of Dealer to it hereunder will be entitled
to the benefit of deposit insurance and that such obligations will not be guaranteed by any
affiliate of Dealer or any governmental agency.



     (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 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, (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 and without a view to the
distribution or resale thereof, and (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.



     (d) 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), 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; (c) any cash, securities or other property provided as
performance assurance, credit support or collateral with respect to the Transaction to constitute
“margin payments” and “transfers” under a “swap agreement” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code; and
(d) all payments for, under or in connection with the Transaction, all payments for the Shares and
the transfer of such Shares to constitute “settlement payments” and “transfers” under a “swap
agreement” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code.

     Counterparty 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 the matters set forth in
Section 3(a) of the Agreement.



     8. Other Provisions:



     (a) Additional Termination Events. The occurrence of (i) an event of default with respect to
Counterparty under the terms of the Convertible Securities as set forth in Section 6.01 of the
Indenture, (ii) an Amendment Event or (iii) a Repayment Event shall be an Additional Termination
Event with respect to which the Transaction is the sole Affected Transaction and Counterparty is
the sole Affected Party and Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination
Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement; provided that in the case of a Repayment Event the
Transaction shall be subject to termination only in respect of the number of Convertible Securities
that cease to be outstanding in connection with or as a result of such Repayment Event.




     “Amendment Event” means that Counterparty, without the consent of Dealer, amends,
modifies, supplements or waives any term of the Indenture or the Convertible Securities
governing the principal amount, coupon, maturity, repurchase obligation of Counterparty,
redemption right of Counterparty, any term relating to conversion of the Convertible
Securities (including changes to the conversion price, conversion settlement dates or
conversion conditions), or any term that would require consent of the holders of not less
than 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Securities to amend.




     “Repayment Event” means that (A) any Convertible Securities are repurchased (whether in
connection with or as a result of a change of control, howsoever defined, or for any other
reason) by Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries, (B) any Convertible Securities are
delivered to Counterparty in exchange for delivery of any property or assets of Counterparty
or any of its subsidiaries (howsoever described), (C) any principal of any of the
Convertible Securities is repaid prior to the final maturity date of the Convertible
Securities (whether following acceleration of the Convertible Securities or otherwise) or
(D) any Convertible Securities are exchanged by or for the benefit of the holders thereof
for any other securities of Counterparty or any of its affiliates (or any other property, or
any combination thereof) pursuant to any exchange offer or similar transaction; provided
that, in the case of clause (B) and clause (D), conversions of the Convertible Securities
pursuant to the terms of the Indenture as in effect on the date hereof shall not be
Repayment Events.



     (b) Alternative Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary
Events. If, subject to Section 8(k) below, Dealer shall owe Counterparty any amount pursuant to
Section 12.2 or 12.3 of the Equity Definitions and “Consequences of Merger Events and Tender
Offers” above, or Sections 12.6, 12.7 or 12.9 of the Equity Definitions (except in the event of an
Insolvency, a Nationalization, 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 or Early Termination Date, as applicable (“Notice of Share Termination”);
provided that if Counterparty does not validly request Dealer to satisfy its Payment Obligation by
the Share Termination Alternative, Dealer shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to satisfy
its Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative, notwithstanding Counterparty’s
election to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that in calculating the
Payment Obligation the Determining Party may consider the purchase price paid in connection with
the purchase of Share Termination Delivery Property. Upon such Notice of Share Termination, the
following provisions shall apply on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the Merger
Date, the Tender Offer Date, Announcement Date or Early Termination Date, as applicable:



	 	 	 
	Share Termination Alternative:

	 	Applicable and means that Dealer shall
deliver to Counterparty the Share
Termination Delivery Property on the date
on which the Payment Obligation would
otherwise be due pursuant to Section 12.7
or 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or
Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, as
applicable (the “Share Termination
Payment Date”), in satisfaction of the
Payment Obligation.
	 
	 	 
	Share Termination Delivery
	 	 






10









 






	 	 	 
	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 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 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 and notified by the Calculation
Agent to Dealer at the time of
notification of the Payment Obligation.
	 
	 	 
	Share Termination Delivery Unit:

	 	In the case of a Termination Event, Event
of Default or Delisting, one Share or, in
the case of an Insolvency,
Nationalization, Merger Event or Tender
Offer, 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 (except 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 arising as a result of the fact that
Counterparty is the Issuer of the Shares)
and 9.12 of the Equity Definitions will
be applicable, except that all references
in such provisions to
“Physically-Settled” shall be read as
references to “settled by Share
Termination Alternative” and all
references to “Shares” shall be read as
references to “Share Termination Delivery
Units”.






     (c) Disposition of Hedge Shares. Counterparty hereby agrees that if, in the good faith
reasonable judgment of Dealer, any Shares (the “Hedge Shares”) acquired by Dealer for the purpose
of hedging its obligations pursuant to the Transaction cannot be sold in the public market by
Dealer without registration under the Securities Act, Counterparty shall promptly, at its election:
(i) in order to allow Dealer to sell the Hedge Shares in a registered offering, 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 satisfactory to Dealer,
substantially in the form of an underwriting agreement for a registered offering, (B) provide
accountant’s “comfort” letters customary in form and substance for registered offerings of equity
securities, (C) provide disclosure opinions of nationally recognized outside counsel to
Counterparty reasonably acceptable to Dealer, (D) provide other customary opinions, certificates
and closing documents customary in form and substance 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 sole 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 8(c) 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 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 Relevant Price on such



11









 







Exchange Business Days, and in the amounts, requested by Dealer, provided that Counterparty
shall not be required to purchase any Hedge Shares from Dealer unless it elects to do so, solely at
its discretion, in accordance with this Section 8(c)(iii).



     (d) Amendment to Equity Definitions. The following amendment shall be made to the Equity
Definitions:




     (i) Section 12.6(a)(ii) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by (1) deleting
from the fourth line thereof the word “or” after the word “official” and inserting a comma
therefor, and (2) deleting the semi-colon at the end of subsection (B) thereof and inserting
the following words therefor “or (C) at Dealer’s option, the occurrence of any of the events
specified in Section 5(a)(vii) (1) through (9) of the ISDA 2002 Master Agreement with
respect to that Issuer.”




     (ii) Section 12.9(b)(i) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by (1) replacing
“either party may elect” with “Dealer may elect” and (2) replacing “notice to the other
party” with “notice to Counterparty” in the first sentence of such section.



     (e) 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 (i) greater than 6% and (ii) 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,
greater than the Notice Percentage as of the date hereof). The “Notice Percentage” as of any day
is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is the Number of Shares plus the
“Number of Shares” under the convertible bond hedge transaction dated the date hereof between
Counterparty and Dealer relating to the 2.375% convertible securities due 2012 (the “2012
Convertible Bond Hedge”) and 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 8(e) then Counterparty 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 Party”) from and against any
and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), joint or several,
to which such Indemnified Party may become subject under applicable securities laws, 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 Party or
insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnified Party, then Counterparty shall contribute, to the
maximum extent permitted by law, to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result
of such loss, claim, damage or liability. In addition, Counterparty will reimburse any Indemnified
Party for all 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 arising therefrom,
whether or not such Indemnified Party 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 and shall inure
to the benefit of any permitted assignee of Dealer.



     (f) Transfer and Assignment. Dealer may transfer or assign its rights and obligations
hereunder and under the Agreement, in whole or in part, to (i) any of its affiliates, (ii) any
entities sponsored or organized by, or on behalf of or for the benefit of, Dealer, or (iii) any
third party that has a credit rating for its long-term unsecured, unsubordinated debt at the time
of such transfer at least equal to the lower of the rating of Dealer at the time of such transfer
or “A-” by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, or any successor thereto, or “A3” by Moody’s
Investors Service, or any successor thereto, in each case without the consent of Counterparty.
Dealer shall notify Counterparty as soon as practicable of any such transfer or assignment effected
pursuant to this Section 8(f). If at any time at which the Equity Percentage exceeds 8%, Dealer,
in its discretion, is unable to effect such a transfer or assignment after its commercially
reasonable efforts on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to Dealer such that the Equity Percentage
is reduced to 8% or less, Dealer may designate any Scheduled Trading Day as an Early Termination
Date with respect to a portion (the “Terminated Portion”) of the Transaction, such that the Equity
Percentage following such partial termination will be equal to or less than 8%. In the event that
Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction, a
payment or delivery shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement and Section 8(b) of this
Confirmation as if (i) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction
having terms identical to the Terminated Portion of the Transaction, (ii) Counterparty shall be the
sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (iii) such portion of the
Transaction shall be the only Terminated Transaction. The “Equity Percentage” as of any day is the
fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the sum of (x) the number of
Shares that Dealer



12









 







or any of its affiliates beneficially own (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange
Act) on such day, other than any Shares so owned as a hedge of the Transaction or as a hedge of
the 2012 Convertible Bond Hedge and (y) the Number of Shares plus the “Number of Shares” under the
2012 Convertible Bond Hedge and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on
such day.



     (g) Staggered Settlement. If Dealer reasonably determines that it would not be practicable or
advisable to deliver, or to acquire for delivery, any or all of the Shares to be delivered by
Dealer on any Settlement Date for the Transaction, Dealer may, by notice to Counterparty prior to
any Settlement Date (a “Nominal Settlement Date”), elect to deliver the Shares on two or more dates
(each, a “Staggered Settlement Date”) or at two or more times on the Nominal Settlement Date as
follows:




     (i) in such notice, Dealer will specify to Counterparty the related Staggered
Settlement Dates (each of which will be on or prior to such Nominal Settlement Date, but not
prior to the beginning of the applicable Settlement Averaging Period) or delivery times and
how it will allocate the Shares it is required to deliver hereunder among the Staggered
Settlement Dates or delivery times; and




     (ii) the aggregate number of Shares that Dealer will deliver to Counterparty hereunder
on all such Staggered Settlement Dates and delivery times will equal the number of Shares
that Dealer would otherwise be required to deliver on such Nominal Settlement Date.



     (h) Right to Extend. Dealer may postpone any Potential Exercise Date or any other date of
valuation or delivery by Dealer, with respect to some or all of the relevant Options (in which
event the Calculation Agent shall make appropriate adjustments to the Shares it is required to
deliver hereunder), if Dealer determines, in its commercially reasonable discretion, 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 Counterparty or an affiliated purchaser of Counterparty, be
in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related
policies and procedures applicable to Dealer.



     (i) 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.



     (j) Designation by Dealer. 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 Counterparty, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell,
receive or deliver such Shares or other securities and otherwise to perform Dealer obligations in
respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be
discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such performance.



     (k) Netting and Set-off.




     (i) If on any date cash would otherwise be payable or Shares or other property would
otherwise be deliverable hereunder or pursuant to the Agreement or pursuant to any other
agreement between the parties by Counterparty to Dealer and cash would otherwise be payable
or Shares or other property would otherwise be deliverable hereunder or pursuant to the
Agreement or pursuant to any other agreement between the parties by Dealer to Counterparty
and the type of property required to be paid or delivered by each such party on such date is
the same, then, on such date, each such party’s obligation to make such payment or delivery
will be automatically satisfied and discharged and, if the aggregate amount that would
otherwise have been payable or deliverable by one such party exceeds the aggregate amount
that would otherwise have been payable or deliverable by the other such party, replaced by
an obligation of the party by whom the larger aggregate amount would have been payable or
deliverable to pay or deliver to the other party the excess of the larger aggregate amount
over the smaller aggregate amount.




     (ii) In addition to and without limiting any rights of set-off that a party hereto may
have as a matter of law, pursuant to contract or otherwise, upon the occurrence of an Early
Termination Date, Dealer shall have the right to terminate, liquidate and otherwise close
out the Transaction and to set off any obligation or right that Dealer or any affiliate of
Dealer may have to or against Counterparty hereunder or under the Agreement against any
right or obligation Dealer or any of its affiliates may have against or to Counterparty,
including without limitation any right to receive a payment or delivery pursuant to any
provision of the



13









 







Agreement or hereunder. In the case of a set-off of any obligation to release, deliver
or pay assets against any right to receive assets of the same type, such obligation and
right shall be set off in kind. In the case of a set-off of any obligation to release,
deliver or pay assets against any right to receive assets of any other type, the value of
each of such obligation and such right shall be determined by the Calculation Agent and the
result of such set-off shall be that the net obligor shall pay or deliver to the other party
an amount of cash or assets, at the net obligor’s option, with a value (determined, in the
case of a delivery of assets, by the Calculation Agent) equal to that of the net obligation.
In determining the value of any obligation to release or deliver Shares or any right to
receive Shares, the value at any time of such obligation or right shall be determined by
reference to the market value of the Shares at such time, as determined by the Calculation
Agent. If an obligation or right is unascertained at the time of any such set-off, the
Calculation Agent may in good faith estimate the amount or value of such obligation or
right, in which case set-off will be effected in respect of that estimate, and the relevant
party shall account to the other party at the time such obligation or right is ascertained.




     (iii) Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement (including without limitation
Section 6(f) thereof) and this Confirmation (including without limitation this Section 8(k))
or any other agreement between the parties to the contrary, (A) Counterparty shall not net
or set off its obligations under the Transaction, if any, against its rights against Dealer
under any other transaction or instrument; (B) Dealer may net and set off any rights of
Dealer against Counterparty arising under the Transaction only against obligations of Dealer
to Counterparty arising under any transaction or instrument if such transaction or
instrument does not convey rights to Dealer senior to the claims of common stockholders in
the event of Counterparty’s bankruptcy; and (C) in the event of Counterparty’s bankruptcy,
Dealer waives any and all rights it may have to set-off in respect of the Transaction,
whether arising under agreement, applicable law or otherwise. Dealer will give notice to
Counterparty of any netting or set off effected under this provision.



     (l) 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.



     (m) Early Unwind. In the event the sale by Counterparty of the Convertible Securities is not
consummated with the initial purchasers pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for any reason by the
close of business in New York on June 11, 2007 (or such later date as agreed upon by the parties,
which in no event shall be later than June 15, 2007) (June 11, 2007 or such later date being 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 Counterparty thereunder shall be cancelled and terminated and (ii) Counterparty shall
purchase from the Dealer on the Early Unwind Date all Shares purchased by Dealer or one of more of
its affiliates in connection with this Transaction and shall pay to Dealer an amount in cash equal
to the aggregate amount of costs and expenses relating to the unwinding of Dealer’s hedging
activities in respect of the Transaction (including market losses incurred in reselling any Shares
purchased by Dealer or its affiliates in connection with such hedging activities). The amount of
any such reimbursement shall be determined by the Dealer in its sole good faith discretion.
Following such termination, cancellation and payment, 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. Dealer and Counterparty
represent and acknowledge to the other that upon an Early Unwind and following the payment referred
to above, all obligations with respect to the Transaction shall be deemed fully and finally
discharged.



     (n) Waiver of Trial by Jury. EACH OF COUNTERPARTY AND DEALER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES (ON
ITS OWN BEHALF AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ON BEHALF OF ITS STOCKHOLDERS) ALL
RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT
OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE TRANSACTION OR THE ACTIONS OF DEALER OR ITS
AFFILIATES IN THE NEGOTIATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.



     (o) Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. THIS CONFIRMATION SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION
OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE UNITED STATES COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW
YORK IN CONNECTION WITH ALL



14









 







MATTERS RELATING HERETO AND WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE IN, AND ANY CLAIM OF
INCONVENIENT FORUM WITH RESPECT TO, THESE COURTS.



     (p) Amendment to Section 6(d)(ii). Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement is modified by deleting
the words “on the day” in the second line thereof and substituting therefor the words “on the day
that is three Local Business Days after the day” and by deleting the words “two Local Business
Days” in the fourth line thereof and substituting therefor the words “three Local Business Days”.
