        Title:    PresidentEXECUTION VERSION

 

SHARE LENDING AGREEMENT

 

Dated as of November 15, 2012

 

between

 

VECTOR GROUP LTD. (“Lender”)

 

and

 

JEFFERIES & COMPANY, INC. (“Borrower”)

 

This SHARE LENDING AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”)
sets forth the terms and conditions under which Borrower may, from time to time, borrow from Lender shares of Common Stock.

 

The parties hereto agree as follows:

 

Section 1.          Certain
Definitions. The following capitalized terms shall have the following meanings:

 

“Business Day” means
a day on which regular trading occurs in the principal trading market for the Common Stock.

 

“Cash” means any coin
or currency of the United States as at the time shall be legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

 

“Clearing Organization”
means The Depository Trust Company, or, if agreed to by Borrower and Lender, such other Securities Intermediary at which Borrower
and Lender maintain accounts.

 

“Closing Price” on any
day means, with respect to the Common Stock, (i) if the Common Stock is listed on a national or regional U.S. securities exchange
or is included in the OTC Bulletin Board Service (operated by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.) or any successor
thereto, the last reported sale price, regular way, in the principal trading session on such day on such market or service on which
the Common Stock is then listed or is included, as the case may be (or, if the day of determination is not a Business Day, the
immediately preceding Business Day), and (ii) if the Common Stock is not so listed or included or if the last reported sale
price is not obtainable (even if the Common Stock is listed on such market or included in such service), the average of the bid
prices for the Common Stock obtained from as many dealers in the Common Stock (which may include Borrower or its affiliates), but
not exceeding three, as shall furnish bid prices to Borrower (which bid prices shall be made available to Lender by Borrower upon
request by Lender).

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

“Collateral” means any
Cash or Non-Cash Collateral transferred by Borrower to Custodian pursuant to Sections 3 or 4 and credited to the Collateral Account,
including any Collateral received in substitution of the foregoing and any proceeds of the foregoing. Each of the parties to this
Agreement hereby agrees that Cash and each item within the definition of Non-Cash Collateral shall be treated as a “financial
asset” as defined by Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC.

 

“Collateral Account”
means the securities account of Borrower maintained on the books of Custodian and designated “Jefferies & Company, Inc.
f/b/o Vector Group Ltd.”.

 

“Common Stock” means
the shares of common stock, par value $0.10 per share, of Lender; provided that, if the Common Stock shall be exchanged
for or converted into any other security, assets and/or other consideration (including cash) as the result of any merger, consolidation,
other business combination, reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization or other corporate action (including, without limitation,
a reorganization in bankruptcy), then, effective upon such exchange or conversion, the amount of such other security, assets and/or
other consideration received in exchange for one share of Common Stock shall be deemed to become one share of Common Stock. For
purposes of the foregoing, where a share of Common Stock may be converted into or exchanged for more than a single type of consideration
based upon any form of stockholder election, such consideration will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts
of consideration received by the holders of the Common Stock that affirmatively make such an election.

 

“Control Agreement” has
the meaning given to such term in Section 10(d).

 

“Convertible Notes” means
(i) up to $200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Variable Interest Convertible Senior Notes due 2019 issued by Lender
and (ii) up to $230,000,000 aggregate principal amount of such securities to the extent the option to purchase such additional
securities (the “Over-Allotment Option”) is exercised as set forth in the underwriting agreement relating to
the Convertible Notes.

 

“Custodian” has the meaning
given to such term in Section 10(d).

 

“Cutoff Time” shall mean
10:00 a.m. in the jurisdiction of the Clearing Organization, or such other time on a Business Day by which a transfer of Loaned
Shares, cash, securities or other property must be made by Borrower or Lender to the other, as shall be determined in accordance
with market practice, in which case such other time will be the “Cutoff Time.”

 

“Exchange Act” means
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

“Facility Termination Date”
means the earliest to occur of (i) the date as of which Lender has notified Borrower in writing of its intention to terminate
this Agreement at any time after the entire principal amount of Convertible Notes ceases to be outstanding and Lender has settled
all payments or deliveries in respect of such Convertible Notes (as such settlement may be extended pursuant to market disruption
events or otherwise pursuant to the Supplemental Indenture), whether as a result of conversion, repurchase, cancellation, at maturity
or otherwise; (ii) the termination of the underwriting agreement relating to the Convertible Notes without issuance of the
Convertible Notes or the failure of the initial offering of the Convertible Notes to close, in each case pursuant to the terms
of such purchase agreement and the Supplemental Indenture; (iii) the date, if any, on which all Loans hereunder are terminated;
and (iv) the date, if any, on which this Agreement is terminated.

 

    	2

    	 

    

  

“Loaned Shares” means
shares of Common Stock transferred in a Loan hereunder until such Common Stock (or identical Common Stock) is transferred back
to Lender hereunder; provided that, to the extent Borrower subsequently transfers to another transferee shares of Common
Stock initially transferred to Borrower hereunder, “Loaned Shares” means an equivalent number of identical shares
of Common Stock. If, as the result of a stock dividend, stock split or reverse stock split, the number of outstanding shares of
Common Stock is increased or decreased, then the number of outstanding Loaned Shares shall, effective as of the payment or delivery
date of any such event, be proportionately increased or decreased, as the case may be. If the outstanding shares of Common Stock
shall be exchanged for or converted into any new or different security or securities, assets and/or other consideration, as described
in the definition of “Common Stock,” such new or different security or securities, assets and/or other consideration
shall, effective upon such exchange or conversion, as the case may be, be deemed to become a Loaned Share in substitution for the
former Loaned Share for which such exchange is made and in the same proportions as described in the definition of “Common
Stock.” For purposes of return of Loaned Shares by Borrower or purchase or sale of securities pursuant to Section 6
or 12, Borrower may return securities of the same issuer, class and quantity as the Loaned Shares as adjusted pursuant to the two
preceding sentences.

 

“Margin Percentage” means:

 

(a)          in
the case of Treasury Obligations having an original maturity at issuance of not more than one year, 101%;

 

(b)          in
the case of Treasury Obligations having an original maturity at issuance of more than one year but not more than five years, 103%;

 

(c)          in
the case of Treasury Obligations having an original maturity at issuance of more than five years but not more than ten years, 105%;
and

 

(d)          in the case of all other Collateral,
100%.

 

“Margin Value” means
the amount obtained by dividing the Market Value of the Collateral by the applicable Margin Percentage.

 

“Market Value” on any
day means (i) with respect to Common Stock, the most recent Closing Price of the Common Stock, and (ii) with respect to any Collateral
that is (a) Cash, the face amount thereof and (b) any other security or property, the market value thereof determined in accordance
with market practice for such securities or property, based on the bid price for such security or property as of the most recent
close of trading obtained from a principal market maker for such security as selected by Borrower in good faith and in a commercially
reasonable manner or obtained from a generally recognized source, or the closing bid quotation at the most recent close of trading
obtained from such source, plus accrued interest to the extent not included therein, unless market practice with respect to the
valuation of such securities or property in connection is to the contrary.

 

    	3

    	 

    

  

“Maximum Number of Shares”
means 6,114,000 shares of Common Stock as of the date of this Agreement, and thereafter subject to adjustment as follows:

 

(a)          If,
as the result of a stock dividend, stock split or reverse stock split, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased
or decreased, the Maximum Number of Shares shall, effective as of the payment or delivery date of any such event, be proportionally
increased or decreased, as the case may be.

 

(b)          If
any Convertible Notes are surrendered to Lender for conversion or redeemed or repurchased in accordance with the terms of the Supplemental
Indenture and Lender notifies Borrower in writing of such surrender, redemption or repurchase and the conversion settlement date
of such Convertible Notes, the Maximum Number of Shares shall be reduced on the date on which such settlement actually occurs by
a number of shares of Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of (i) the Maximum Number
of Shares immediately prior to such conversion, and (ii) a fraction (x) the numerator of which is the principal amount of
Convertible Notes surrendered for conversion, redeemed or repurchased and (y) the denominator of which is the principal amount
of Convertible Notes outstanding as of their initial issuance plus any amount of Convertible Notes issued pursuant to the
exercise of the Over-Allotment Option.

 

(c)          Upon
the termination (including a partial termination) of any Loan pursuant to Section 6(a) below, the Maximum Number of Shares
shall be reduced by the number of Loaned Shares surrendered by Borrower to Lender.

 

(d)          The
Maximum Number of Shares shall be reduced to 3,057,000 shares of Common Stock on the Business Day immediately following the “Issue
Date” (as defined in the Supplemental Indenture) of the Convertible Notes if on or before such date the Maximum Number of
Shares is not or has not been reduced to or below such number pursuant to clause (c) above.

 

(e)          The
Maximum Number of Shares shall be increased by 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock if Lender and Borrower shall have entered into
an underwriting agreement for the purpose of effecting a subsequent offering and sale of shares of Common Stock, as contemplated
by the Underwriting Agreement.

 

“Non-Cash Collateral”
means (i) any negotiable debt obligations issued by the United States Treasury Department having an original maturity at issuance
of not more than ten years (“Treasury Obligations”); (ii) Loaned Shares; (iii) any property that Borrower and
Lender from time to time agree in writing shall be acceptable collateral; and (iv) all proceeds of the foregoing.

 

“Registration Blackout Period”
means (i) the period beginning at 11:59 p.m. on the fourteenth calendar day preceding the last day of each fiscal quarter
of Lender and ending at 11:59 p.m. on the second Business Day following the day on which Lender’s quarterly earnings with
respect to such fiscal quarter are publicly announced (or, in the case of the fourth fiscal quarter, if no quarterly earnings are
announced, Lender’s annual earnings), and (ii) if, after February 15, 2013, Lender is in possession of material non-public
information about Lender or the Common Stock, the disclosure of which Lender reasonably believes would not be in its best interests,
and notifies Borrower of that fact, the period beginning on the day on which Lender provides such notice to Borrower and ending
on the 60th Business Day thereafter; provided that the aggregate duration of such Registration Blackout Period under clause
(ii) above shall not exceed 120 Business Days during the term of this Agreement.

“UCC” means the Uniform
Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York on the date hereof and as it may be amended from time to time.

of the several underwriters named therein, providing for the public offering of the Common Stock, and any subsequent underwriting
agreement between such parties entered into for the purpose of effecting a subsequent offering and sale of shares of Common Stock,
as contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement.

 

Section 2.          Loans
of Shares; Transfers of Loaned Shares.

 

(a)          Subject
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender hereby agrees to make available for borrowing by Borrower shares of Common
Stock up to, in the aggregate, the Maximum Number of Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, any Loaned Shares that are returned by
Borrower to Lender upon termination of a Loan (including a partial termination pursuant to Section 6(a)) shall not be available
for future borrowing under this Agreement by Borrower (it being understood that the pledge of Non-Cash Collateral consisting of
Loaned Shares shall not be considered a return of such Loaned Securities or a termination (in whole or in part) of the related
Loan by Borrower).

 

(b)          Subject
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Borrower may, from time to time, by not less than one Business Day’s written
notice to Lender substantially in the form of Exhibit A to this Agreement (a “Borrowing Notice”) initiate one
or more transactions in which Lender will lend Loaned Shares to Borrower through the issuance by Lender of such Loaned Shares to
Borrower upon the terms, and subject to the conditions, set forth in this Agreement (each such issuance and loan, a “Loan”);
provided that Borrower may not initiate a Loan by delivering a Borrowing Notice to Lender (i) during any Registration
Blackout Period or (ii) after the date as of which the Maximum Number of Shares shall have been sold pursuant to the Underwriting
Agreement. Such Loan shall be confirmed through the book-entry settlement system of the Clearing Organization. The records maintained
by the Clearing Organization shall constitute conclusive evidence with respect to a Loan, including the number of shares of Common
Stock that are the subject of such Loan to which the applicable records relate.

 

    	5

    	 

    

  

(c)          On
the date of this Agreement, Borrower shall deliver a Borrowing Notice to Lender specifying a number of shares of Common Stock to
be borrowed equal to the Maximum Number of Shares as of such date; provided that such Borrowing Notice shall be automatically
rescinded without further action of Borrower if the Facility Termination Date occurs prior to Lender’s transfer of Loaned
Shares to Borrower in respect of such Borrowing Notice.

 

(d)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Borrower shall not be permitted to borrow or have any right to take delivery of, or
otherwise receive or be deemed to have received, and may not initiate a Loan hereunder with respect to, any shares of Common Stock
at any time to the extent (in the case of clause (i) below or to the extent that Borrower determines in its sole discretion
(in the case of clause (ii) below)) that after receipt of any shares of Common Stock in connection with such Loan, (i) the
Section 16 Percentage would exceed 8.0% or (ii) the Share Amount would exceed the Applicable Share Limit. 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 of Common Stock that Borrower and each person subject to aggregation of shares of Common Stock with Borrower under Section 13
or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder directly or indirectly beneficially
own (as defined under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder)
as of such day and (B) the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of such day. The “Share
Amount” as of any day is the number of shares of Common Stock that a Borrower Person under any law, rule, regulation,
regulatory order or organizational documents or contracts of Lender that are, in each case, applicable to ownership of shares of
Common Stock (the “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 Borrower
in its reasonable discretion. A “Borrower Person” is Borrower and any person whose ownership position would
be aggregated with that of Borrower. The “Applicable Share Limit” is, as of any day, a number of shares of Common
Stock equal to (A) the minimum number of shares of Common Stock that could give rise to materially adverse reporting obligations,
materially adverse registration obligations or other materially adverse requirements (including obtaining prior approval from any
person or entity) of a Borrower Person, or could result in an adverse effect on a Borrower Person, under any Applicable Restriction,
as determined by Borrower in its reasonable discretion, minus (B) 1% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
as of such day. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any delivery of Common Stock is erroneously made to Borrower or Borrower otherwise
receives or is deemed to have received Common Stock in excess of the foregoing limitation contrary to the first sentence of this
Section 2(d), such Common Stock shall remain the property of Lender and Borrower shall be deemed to hold the same as bailee of
Lender and shall have no voting, dispositive control or pecuniary interest with respect thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, Lender shall not be liable to Borrower for any delivery of Common Stock in contravention of this Section
2(d) pursuant to a Borrower Notice delivered by Borrower.

 

    	6

    	 

    

 

(e)          Lender
shall transfer Loaned Shares to Borrower on or before the Cutoff Time on the date specified in the Borrowing Notice for the commencement
of the relevant Loan, which date shall be no later than the third Business Day following the receipt by Lender of the Borrowing
Notice. Delivery of the Loaned Shares to Borrower shall be made in the manner set forth under Section 13 below.

 

Section  3.          Collateral.

 

(a)          Unless
otherwise agreed by Borrower and Lender, Borrower shall, prior to or concurrently with the transfer of the Loaned Shares to Borrower,
but in no case later than the close of business on the day of such transfer, transfer to Custodian, for credit to the Collateral
Account, Collateral selected by Borrower with a Margin Value at least equal to the Market Value of the Loaned Shares as of the
close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of such transfer.

 

(b)          Any
Collateral transferred by Borrower to Custodian pursuant to Sections 3 or 4 and credited to the Collateral Account shall be security
for Borrower’s obligations in respect of the Loaned Shares and for any other obligations of Borrower to Lender hereunder.
Borrower hereby pledges with, assigns to, and grants Lender a continuing first priority security interest in, and a lien upon,
the Collateral, which shall attach upon the transfer of the Loaned Shares by Lender to Borrower and which shall cease upon the
transfer of the Loaned Shares by Borrower to Lender or upon the transfer of any such Collateral to Borrower in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement. In addition to the rights and remedies given to Lender hereunder, Lender shall have all the rights
and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. Except as expressly provided for in Section 12, Lender may not use or invest
the Collateral and shall not deliver any instruction to Custodian regarding the use or investment of Collateral, unless Lender
has delivered a Notice of Exclusive Control to Custodian (with a copy to Borrower) in accordance with the terms of the Control
Agreement.

 

(c)          Except
as otherwise provided herein, upon the transfer to Lender of Loaned Shares pursuant to Section 6, Collateral selected by Borrower
with a Margin Value equal to the Market Value of the Loaned Shares so transferred shall be released to Borrower, but only to the
extent that immediately following such transfer of Collateral no Collateral Deficit would exist; provided that Loaned Shares
pledged as Collateral may, at Borrower’s instruction, be released from the Collateral Account and transferred to Lender as
provided in Section 6(e). Such transfer of Collateral shall be made no later than the Cutoff Time on the day the Loaned Shares
are transferred, or if such day is not a day on which a transfer of such Collateral may be effected under Section 13, or if
the transfer of Loaned Shares by Lender to Borrower occurs after the Cutoff Time on such day, then in each case the next day on
which such a transfer may be effected. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if all Loans are terminated by Borrower
pursuant to Section 6 (whether upon the occurrence of a Lender Default or otherwise), all Collateral shall be immediately released
to Borrower upon the transfer to Lender of the Loaned Shares; provided that Loaned Shares pledged as Collateral may, at
Borrower’s instruction, be released from the Collateral Account and transferred to Lender as provided in Section 6(e).

 

(d)          If
Borrower transfers Collateral to Custodian, as provided in this Section 3, and Lender does not transfer the relevant Loaned
Shares to Borrower, Borrower shall have the absolute right to the return of the Collateral; and if Lender transfers the relevant
Loaned Shares to Borrower and Borrower does not transfer Collateral to Custodian as provided in this Section 3, Lender shall
have the absolute right to the return of the relevant Loaned Shares.

 

    	7

    	 

    

  

(e)          Borrower
may, upon notice to Lender and Custodian, substitute Cash or Non-Cash Collateral for Collateral securing any Loan or Loans; provided
that such substituted Collateral shall have a Margin Value such that the aggregate Margin Value of such substituted Collateral,
together with all other Collateral, shall equal or exceed the Market Value of the Loaned Shares as of the date of such substitution;
and provided further that Borrower may not substitute Cash or Non-Cash Collateral other than Loaned Shares for Collateral
securing any Loan or Loans if at the time of such substitution a Borrower Default has occurred and is continuing.

 

Section 4.          Mark-to
Market.

 

(a)          If
the aggregate Margin Value of all Collateral at the close of trading on any Business Day shall be less than the Market Value of
all the outstanding Loaned Shares (a “Collateral Deficit”), Borrower shall transfer to Custodian no later than
the Business Day following the date of such Collateral Deficit for credit to the Collateral Account, additional Collateral selected
by Borrower so that the Margin Value of such additional Collateral, when added to the Margin Value of all other Collateral, shall
equal or exceed the Market Value of the Loaned Shares on such Business Day of determination.

 

(b)          If
the aggregate Margin Value of all Collateral at the close of trading on any Business Day shall be greater than the Market Value
of all the outstanding Loaned Shares (a “Collateral Excess”), Borrower may, by notice to Lender and Custodian,
demand that Custodian transfer to Borrower, no later than the following Business Day, such amount of the Collateral selected by
Borrower so that the Margin Value of the Collateral, after deduction of such amounts, shall thereupon be at least equal to the
Market Value of the Loaned Shares on such Business Day of determination; provided that no Collateral Excess shall be returned
to Borrower if Lender has delivered a Notice of Exclusive Control to Custodian (with a copy to Borrower) in accordance with the
terms of the Control Agreement.

 

Section 5.          Loan
Fee. Borrower agrees to pay Lender a single loan fee per Loan (a “Loan Fee”) equal to $0.10 per Loaned Share
included in such Loan. Such Loan Fee shall be paid by Borrower on or before the time of transfer of the Loaned Shares pursuant
to Section 2(e) on a delivery-versus-payment basis through the facilities of the Clearing Organization.

 

Section 6.          Loan
Terminations.

 

(a)          Borrower
may terminate all or any portion of a Loan on any Business Day by giving written notice thereof to Lender and transferring the
corresponding number of Loaned Shares to Lender no later than the third Business Day following the date of such notice, without
any consideration being payable in respect thereof by Lender to Borrower; provided that such termination shall not relieve
Borrower from the obligation to make such other payments and/or deliveries required to be made by it to Lender hereunder, including
any such payments and/or deliveries pursuant to Section 7 hereof. Any such loan termination shall be effective immediately
upon delivery of the Loaned Shares in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

    	8

    	 

    

  

(b)          Subject
to Section 12 below, all outstanding Loans, if any, shall terminate on the Facility Termination Date, and all Loaned Shares,
if any, then outstanding shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender, without any consideration being payable in respect thereof by
Lender to Borrower, no later than the third Business Day following the Facility Termination Date; provided that such termination
shall not relieve Borrower from the obligation to make such other payments and/or deliveries required to be made by it to Lender
hereunder, including any such payments and/or deliveries pursuant to Section 7 hereof.

 

(c)          Subject
to Section 12 below, if a Loan is terminated upon the occurrence of a Default as set forth in Section 11, the Loaned
Shares in respect of such Loan shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender, without any consideration being payable in respect thereof
by Lender to Borrower, no later than the third Business Day following the termination date of such Loan as provided in Section 11;
provided that such termination shall not relieve Borrower from the obligation to make such other payments and/or deliveries
required to be made by it to Lender hereunder, including any such payments and/or deliveries pursuant to Section 7 hereof.

 

(d)          If
at any time the aggregate number of Loaned Shares outstanding under this Agreement exceeds the Maximum Number of Shares, then the
outstanding Loans (or portions thereof) to the extent of such excess shall immediately terminate and, subject to Section 12
below, such excess number of Loaned Shares in respect of such terminated Loans (or portions thereof) shall be delivered by Borrower
to Lender, without any consideration being payable in respect thereof by Lender to Borrower, no later than the third Business Day
following the first date as of which such excess exists; provided that such termination shall not relieve Borrower from
the obligation to make such other payments and/or deliveries required to be made by it to Lender hereunder, including any such
payments and/or deliveries pursuant to Section 7 hereof.

 

(e)          To
effect any termination (in whole or in part) of a Loan and the transfer or delivery of Loaned Shares to Lender, Borrower may instruct
Custodian to release from the Collateral Account any Loaned Shares pledged as Collateral at the time of such termination and transfer
such released Loaned Shares to Lender as provided in Sections 6(a) through (d) above.

 

Section 7.          Distributions.

 

(a)          If,
at any time when there are Loaned Shares outstanding under this Agreement, Lender pays a cash dividend or makes a cash distribution
in respect of all its outstanding shares of Common Stock, Borrower shall pay to Lender (whether or not Borrower is a holder of
any or all of the outstanding Loaned Shares at such time), on the second Business Day immediately following the day such dividend
or distribution is paid, an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the amount per share of Common Stock of such
dividend or distribution, as the case may be, and (ii) the number of Loaned Shares outstanding at such time; provided
that if Borrower returns any Loaned Shares to Lender following a record date for such a dividend or distribution on such Loaned
Shares but prior to the payment of such dividend or distribution on such Loaned Shares, notwithstanding the return of such Loaned
Shares Borrower shall nonetheless pay to Lender the amount of such dividend or distribution, as the case may be, on the Business
Day immediately following the day such dividend or distribution is paid.

(b)          If,
at any time when there are Loaned Shares outstanding under this Agreement, Lender makes a distribution in respect of all its outstanding
shares of Common Stock (other than a distribution upon liquidation or a reorganization in bankruptcy) in property or securities,
including any spin-off securities or assets, options, warrants, rights or privileges in respect of securities (other than a distribution
of Common Stock, but including any spin-off securities or assets, options, warrants, rights or privileges exercisable for, convertible
into or exchangeable for Common Stock) (a “Non-Cash Distribution”), Borrower shall deliver to Lender in kind
(whether or not Borrower is a holder of any or all of the outstanding Loaned Shares), on the Business Day that is one customary
settlement cycle for the property or securities distributed in the relevant Non-Cash Distribution following the date of such Non-Cash
Distribution, the property or securities so distributed in an amount (the “Delivery Amount”) equal to the product
of (i) the amount per share of Common Stock of such Non-Cash Distribution, and (ii) the number of Loaned Shares
outstanding at such time; provided that if Borrower returns any Loaned Shares to Lender following a record date for such
a Non-Cash Distribution on such Loaned Shares but prior to the settlement of such Non-Cash Distribution on such Loaned Shares,
notwithstanding the return of such Loaned Shares Borrower shall nonetheless deliver to Lender the Delivery Amount in respect of
such Non-Cash Distribution on the Business Day that is one customary settlement cycle for the property or securities distributed
in the relevant Non-Cash Distribution following the date of such Non-Cash Distribution.

 

(c)          Any
interest, cash distribution or cash dividend made on or in respect of any Collateral for any Loan hereunder, shall, subject to
(e) below, be delivered to Borrower on the date such interest, cash distribution or cash dividend is received by Custodian.

 

(d)          Any
non-cash distributions or dividend made on or in respect of any Collateral for any Loan hereunder shall, subject to (e) below,
be delivered to Borrower on the date such non-cash distribution or dividend is received by Custodian.

 

(e)          To
the extent that a transfer of cash or other property to Borrower under the provisions of this Section 7 would give rise to a Collateral
Deficit, no transfer of cash or other property to the extent of any such Collateral Deficit shall be made in accordance with this
Section 7, but in lieu of such transfer shall immediately be credited to the Collateral Account. No transfer of cash or other
property shall be made to Borrower under the provisions of this Section 7 if at the time of such transfer a Borrower Default has
occurred and is continuing.

 

Section 8.          Rights
in Respect of Loaned Shares. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, including Borrower’s obligation to return the Loaned
Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and except as otherwise agreed by Borrower and Lender or Borrower and any
subsequent transferee of Loaned Shares, insofar as such person is the record owner of any such Loaned Shares, such person shall
have all of the incidents of ownership in respect of any such Loaned Shares, including the right to transfer the Loaned Shares
to others.

represents and warrants to Borrower that, as of the date hereof, and as of the date any Loaned Shares are transferred to Borrower
in respect of any Loan hereunder, Lender is not, and will not be required to register as, an “investment company” (as
such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended).

 

(g)          Lender
represents and warrants to Borrower that Lender (i) is capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general

free from any lien, charge, claim or other encumbrance or restrictions (other than (x) a lien, charge, claim or other encumbrance
or restriction routinely imposed on all securities by the relevant Clearance System and (y) any lien, charge, claim or other
encumbrance or restriction (i) in the case of any shares of Common Stock, that exists in respect to all outstanding shares
of Common Stock and (ii) in the case of any property or securities comprising any Non-Cash Distribution, that exists in respect

(j)          The

(a)          The
parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that (i) each Loan hereunder is intended to be a “securities contract,”
as such term is defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code; (ii) each and every transfer of funds, securities and
other property under this Agreement is intended to be a “transfer” and a “settlement payment” or a “margin
payment,” as such terms are used in Section 546(e) of the Bankruptcy Code; and (iii) Borrower is intended to be
entitled to the protections afforded by, among other sections, Sections 362(b)(6), 546(e), 555 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

    	12

    	 

    

  

(b)          Lender
shall, no later than five Business Days prior to any repurchase of Common Stock, give Borrower a written notice of such repurchase
(a “Repurchase Notice”) if, following such repurchase, the Outstanding Borrow Percentage as determined on such
day after giving effect to such repurchase would be greater than 8.0% or, after the first such Repurchase Notice, greater by 0.5%
than the Outstanding Borrow Percentage included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice; provided that, in the event
that the amount of Loaned Shares provided pursuant to the initial Borrowing Notice causes the Outstanding Borrow Percentage to
exceed 8.0%, then the first Repurchase Notice shall be deemed to have been given in connection with such initial Borrowing Notice.
The “Outstanding Borrow Percentage” as of any day is the fraction (A) the numerator of which is the aggregate
number of Loaned Shares outstanding on such day and (B) the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
on such day, including such Loaned Shares.

 

(c)          Borrower
covenants and agrees with Lender that Borrower has entered into this Agreement and the Loans hereunder for the purpose of directly
or indirectly facilitating the sale of the Convertible Notes and hedging activities (including short sales of Loaned Shares) relating

(d)          The
parties hereto shall use good faith efforts to enter into a collateral account control agreement among Borrower, Lender and The
Bank of New York Mellon (“Custodian”) on or before December 15, 2012 (or such other date as the parties may
otherwise agree) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the parties thereto with respect to the Collateral Account and
the Collateral (the “Control Agreement”), and to make such changes and amendments to this Agreement as the parties,
acting in good faith, may reasonably deem necessary and appropriate to effectuate the purposes of and entry into the Control Agreement.

Section 12.         Right
to Extend; Lender’s Remedies.

 

(a)          Except
to the extent a Loan is terminated pursuant to Section 6(c) as a result of a Borrower Default, Borrower may, following the
termination of any Loan pursuant to Section 6, delay the date on which the related Loan Shares are due to Lender (the “Settlement
Due Date”, as so delayed to the extent applicable), with respect to some or all (as the case may be) of such Loaned Shares,
if Borrower reasonably determines in good faith based on the advice of outside counsel that such extension with respect to some
or all (as the case may be) of such Loan Shares is reasonably necessary to enable Borrower (or any of its affiliates) to effect
purchases of Common Stock related to the delivery of Loan Shares due to Lender in connection with this Agreement in a manner that
would be in compliance with legal and regulatory requirements (i) applicable to Borrower or such affiliates in purchasing
such shares of Common Stock or (ii) if Borrower were deemed to be Lender or an affiliated purchaser of Lender, that would
be applicable to Lender in purchasing such shares of Common Stock.

 

    	15

    	 

    

 

(b)          If,
upon the termination of any Loan as a result of a Borrower Default or pursuant to Section 6(c) on any Settlement Due Date,
the purchase of Common Stock in an amount equal to all or any portion of the Loaned Shares to be delivered to Lender by Borrower
in accordance with Section 6(c) of this Agreement (i) shall be prohibited by any law, rules or regulation of any governmental
authority to which it is or would be subject, (ii) shall violate, or would upon such purchase reasonably likely violate, any
order or prohibition of any court, tribunal or other governmental authority, (iii) shall require the prior consent of any
court, tribunal or governmental authority prior to any such repurchase, (iv) would subject Borrower, based on the advice of
outside counsel to the Borrower, to any liability or potential liability under any applicable federal securities laws (including,
without limitation, Section 16 of the Exchange Act), or (v) shall be commercially impracticable in the time period required
by Section 6(c), in the commercially reasonable judgment of Borrower as a result of a demonstrable legal or regulatory impediment
(including regulations of self-regulatory organizations) to such purchases (each of (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v), a “Legal
Obstacle”), then, in each case, Borrower shall immediately notify Lender of the Legal Obstacle and the basis therefor,
whereupon Borrower’s obligations under Section 6(c) shall be suspended until such time as no Legal Obstacle with respect
to such obligations shall exist (a “Repayment Suspension”). Upon notification of a Repayment Suspension and
for so long as the Repayment Suspension shall continue, Lender shall have the right, exercisable in its sole discretion, upon written
request (with a copy to Borrower) to direct Custodian to release to Lender an amount of Collateral with a Margin Value equal to
the Market Value of all (or such fewer number as Lender may specify) of the Loaned Shares that are the subject of the Repayment
Suspension, whereupon Borrower’s obligation to return such number of Loaned Shares to Lender shall automatically be extinguished;
provided that if following the termination of any Loan as a result of a Borrower Default Lender shall have delivered a Notice
of Exclusive Control to Custodian (with a copy to Borrower) and notified Borrower of its intent to exercise its rights and remedies
pursuant to Section 12(c) below, the provisions of this Section 12(b) shall not apply. Following the occurrence of and during the
continuation of any Repayment Suspension, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remove or cure the Legal Obstacle
as promptly as reasonably practicable, including, in the case of clause (iii), Borrower using its commercially reasonable efforts
to obtain the prior consent of the relevant court, tribunal or governmental authority in order to make any such repurchase; provided
that (except in circumstances where the Legal Obstacle resulted from the failure by Borrower to comply with applicable securities
laws or regulations) Lender shall promptly reimburse all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including of legal counsel
to Borrower) incurred or, at Borrower’s election, provide reasonably adequate surety or guarantee for any such costs and
expenses that may be incurred by Borrower, in each case, in removing or curing such Legal Obstacle; and provided further
that, if Borrower cannot remove or cure the Legal Obstacle within five Business Days, then Lender shall have the right at any time
thereafter to notify Borrower of its election that Borrower pay to Lender, in lieu of the delivery of Loaned Shares in accordance
with Section 6(c), an amount in immediately available funds (the “Replacement Cash”) equal to the product
of (A) the average Closing Price (the “Average Closing Price”) during the ten consecutive Business
Day period ending on the Business Day immediately preceding the date Borrower makes such payment, multiplied by (B) the
number of Loaned Shares then outstanding.

 

    	16

    	 

    

 

(c)          If
Borrower shall fail to pay the Replacement Cash to Lender in accordance with Section 12(b) above or the provisions of Section
12(b) do not apply, then, in addition to any other remedies available to Lender under this Agreement or under applicable law, Lender
shall have the right (upon prior written notice to Borrower) to (i) purchase a like number of Loaned Shares (“Replacement
Shares”) in the principal market for such securities in a commercially reasonable manner in compliance with applicable
securities laws (and Lender shall promptly notify Borrower of the aggregate purchase price of the Replacement Shares upon the exercise
of such right), (ii) sell any Collateral in the principal market for such Collateral in a commercially reasonable manner and (iii)
apply and set off the Collateral and any proceeds thereof against the payment of the purchase price for such Replacement Shares
and any amounts due to Lender under this Agreement; provided that Lender shall not be permitted to exercise its right to
purchase Replacement Shares if Borrower has delivered Loaned Shares to Lender in accordance with Section 6(d) or Section 6(e);
and provided further that if any Repayment Suspension or failure to deliver shall exist and be continuing, Lender shall
not be permitted to exercise its right to purchase Replacement Shares unless Borrower shall fail to deliver the Loaned Shares or
pay the Replacement Cash to Lender when due in accordance with Section 12(a) above. To the extent Lender shall exercise such right,
Borrower’s obligation to return a like number of Loaned Shares or to pay the Replacement Cash, as applicable, shall terminate,
and Borrower shall be liable to Lender for the purchase price of Replacement Shares (plus all other amounts, if any, due to Lender
hereunder). In the event that the purchase price of Replacement Shares (plus all other amounts, if any, due to Lender hereunder)
exceeds the amount of the Collateral, Borrower shall be liable to Lender for the amount of such excess. The purchase price of Replacement
Shares purchased under this Section 12(c) shall include, and the proceeds of any sale of Collateral shall be determined after
deduction of, broker’s fees and commissions and all other reasonable costs, fees and expenses related to such purchase and
sale. In the event Lender exercises its rights under this Section 12, Lender may elect in its sole discretion, in lieu of purchasing
all or a portion of the Replacement Shares, to be deemed to have made such purchase of Replacement Shares for an amount equal to
the Closing Price of Common Stock on the date Lender elects to exercise this remedy. Upon the satisfaction of all Borrower’s
obligations hereunder, any remaining Collateral shall be returned to Borrower.

 

Section 13.         Transfers.

 

(a)          All
transfers of Loaned Shares to Borrower hereunder shall be made by the crediting by a Clearing Organization of such Loaned Shares
to Borrower’s “securities account” (within the meaning of Section 8-501 of the UCC) designated in the relevant
Borrowing Notice maintained with such Clearing Organization. All transfers of Loaned Shares to Lender hereunder shall be made by
the crediting by a Clearing Organization of such Loaned Shares to such “securities account” (within the meaning of
Section 8-501 of the UCC) maintained with such Clearing Organization as Lender may designate from time to time. All transfers
of Collateral to Custodian by Borrower shall be made by crediting the Collateral Account. All transfers of Collateral to Lender
by Custodian shall be made in the manner directed by Lender. In every transfer of “financial assets” (within the meaning
of Section 8-102 of the UCC) hereunder, the transferor shall take all steps necessary (a) to effect a delivery to the
transferee under Section 8-301 of the UCC, or to cause the creation of a security entitlement in favor of the transferee under
Section 8-501 of the UCC, (b) to enable the transferee to obtain “control” (within the meaning of Section 8-106
of the UCC), and (c) to provide the transferee with comparable rights under any applicable foreign law or regulation that
is applicable to such transfer.

 

(b)          All
transfers of cash hereunder to Borrower or Lender shall be by wire transfer in immediately available, freely transferable funds.

 

(c)          A
transfer of securities or cash may be effected under this Section 13 on any day except (i) a day on which the transferee
is closed for business at its address set forth in Section 18 or (ii) a day on which a Clearing Organization or wire
transfer system is closed, if the facilities of such Clearing Organization or wire transfer system are required to effect such
transfer, in which case under clause (i) or (ii), such transfer shall be made on the immediately following day on which such
exceptions are not in effect.

 

    	17

    	 

    

  

(d)          To
the extent permitted by law, neither this Agreement nor any interest or obligation in or under this Agreement may be transferred
(whether by way of security or otherwise) by either party without the prior written consent of the other party; provided
that Borrower may, without the consent of Lender, transfer or assign all or any part of its rights or obligations under this Agreement
to any affiliate of Borrower that is a wholly owned affiliate of Jefferies Group, Inc. organized or incorporated in the United
States and provides Collateral to Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Control Agreement (x) if such a
transfer is required by or under any law, rule, regulation or regulatory order or (y) if, absent such transfer, Borrower or
any of its affiliates would incur a materially increased cost or other materially increased expense (compared to such cost or expense
as of the date hereof) or would experience any other material adverse effect. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be
binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of Borrower, Lender and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any purported
transfer that is not in compliance with this Section 13(d) shall be null and void.

 

Section 14.         Indemnities.

 

(a)          Lender
hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Borrower and its affiliates and its former, present and future directors, officers,
employees from and against any and all liabilities, judgments, claims, settlements, losses, damages, fees, liens, taxes, penalties,
obligations and other expenses (including, without limitation, any losses relating to Borrower’s market activities as a consequence
of becoming subject to Section 16(b) under the Exchange Act, and including, without limitation, any forbearance from market
activities or cessation of market activities and any losses in connection therewith or with respect to this Agreement) (collectively,
“Losses”) incurred or suffered by any such person or entity directly or indirectly arising from, by reason of,
or in connection with, (i) any breach by Lender of any of its representations or warranties contained in Section 9 or
(ii) any breach by Lender of any of its covenants or agreements in this Agreement; provided, however, that Lender
shall not be liable for any Losses arising from (i) any breach by Borrower of any of its representations or warranties contained
in Section 9 or (ii) any breach by Borrower of any of its covenants or agreements in this Agreement.

 

(b)          Borrower
hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Lender and its affiliates and its former, present and future directors, officers,
employees from and against any and all Losses incurred or suffered by any such person or entity directly or indirectly arising
from, by reason of, or in connection with, (i) any breach by Borrower of any of its representations or warranties contained
in Section 9 or (ii) any breach by Borrower of any of its covenants or agreements in this Agreement; provided,

(c)          In
case any claim or litigation which might give rise to any obligation of a party under this Section 14 (the “Indemnifying
Party”) shall come to the attention of the party seeking indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”),
the Indemnified Party shall within five Business Days notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the existence and amount thereof;
provided that the failure of the Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not adversely affect the right of the Indemnified
Party to indemnification under this Agreement, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby. The
Indemnifying Party shall promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing if it accepts such claim or litigation as being within
its indemnification obligations under this Section 14. Such response shall be delivered no later than 30 days after the initial
notification from the Indemnified Party; provided that, if the Indemnifying Party reasonably cannot respond to such notice
within 30 days, the Indemnifying Party shall respond to the Indemnified Party as soon thereafter as reasonably possible.

 

(d)          An
Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and, if (i) in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party such
claim can properly be resolved by money damages alone and the Indemnifying Party has the financial resources to pay such damages
and (ii) the Indemnifying Party admits that this indemnity fully covers the claim or litigation, the Indemnifying Party shall
be entitled to direct the defense of any claim at its expense, but such defense shall be conducted by legal counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. An Indemnified Party shall not make any settlement of any claim or litigation under this
Section 14 without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party. Nothing in this clause (d) shall be deemed to limit,
or be a waiver of either party in respect of, this Section 14.

 

Section 15.         Termination
Of Agreement.

 

(a)          This
Agreement may be terminated (i) at any time by the written agreement of Lender and Borrower or (ii) by Lender or Borrower upon
the occurrence of a Default by the other party.

 

(b)          Unless
otherwise agreed by Borrower and Lender, the provisions of Section 14 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

Section 16.         Registration
Provisions. If, following the initial Loan hereunder and registration of the initial Loaned Shares in respect of such Loan,
Borrower determines, based upon reasonable advice of counsel to Borrower, with respect to any legal, regulatory or self-regulatory
requirements or related policies and procedures adopted by Borrower and designed to achieve compliance with such legal, regulatory
or self-regulatory requirements, that any subsequent Loan and public sale of the Loaned Shares in respect of such subsequent Loan
would require registration under the Securities Act, Lender agrees to register such sale of shares of Common Stock as and to the
extent provided in the Underwriting Agreement.

 

Section 17.         Amendments.
No amendment or modification in respect of this Agreement shall be effective unless it shall be in writing and signed by the parties

Section 20.         Single
Agreement. Borrower and Lender acknowledge that, and have entered into this Agreement in reliance on the fact that, all Loans
hereunder constitute a single business and contractual relationship and have been entered into in consideration of each other.
Accordingly, Borrower and Lender hereby agree that payments, deliveries and other transfers made by either of them in respect of
any Loan shall be deemed to have been made in consideration of payments, deliveries and other transfers in respect of any other
Loan hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries and other transfers may be applied against each other
and netted. In addition, Borrower and Lender acknowledge that, and have entered into this Agreement in reliance on the fact that,
all Loans hereunder have been entered into in consideration of each other. Accordingly, Borrower and Lender hereby agree that (a)
each shall perform all of its obligations in respect of each Loan hereunder, and that a default in the performance of any such
obligation by Borrower or by Lender (the “Defaulting Party”) in any Loan hereunder shall constitute a default
by the Defaulting Party under all such Loans hereunder, and (b) the non-defaulting party shall be entitled, subject to the provisions
of this Agreement, to set off claims and apply property held by it in respect of any Loan hereunder against obligations owing to
it in respect of any other Loan with the Defaulting Party.

 

Section 21.         Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and all such counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute
one and the same agreement.
