Re: Call Option Transaction

          The purpose of this letter agreement (this “Confirmation”) is to confirm the terms and
conditions of the call option transaction entered into between Bank of America, N.A. (“Dealer”) and
Newell Rubbermaid Inc. (“Counterparty”) as of the Trade Date specified below (the “Transaction”).
This letter agreement constitutes a “Confirmation” as referred to in the ISDA Master Agreement
specified below. This Confirmation shall replace any previous agreements and serve as the final
documentation for this Transaction.

          The definitions and provisions contained in the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the
“Equity Definitions”), as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.
(“ISDA”) are incorporated into this Confirmation. In the event of any inconsistency between the
Equity Definitions and this Confirmation, this Confirmation shall govern. Certain defined terms
used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the prospectus dated March 25, 2008, as
supplemented by the prospectus supplement dated March 24, 2009 (as supplemented, the “Prospectus”)
relating to the USD 300,000,000 principal amount of 5.5% Convertible Senior Notes due March 15,
2014, (the “Convertible Notes” and each USD 1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, a
“Convertible Note”) issued by Counterparty pursuant to an indenture dated November 1, 1995 between
Counterparty and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., formerly known as The Bank of New
York Trust Company, N.A. (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, formerly known as The Chase
Manhattan Bank (National Association)), as trustee (the “Trustee”) (the “Base Indenture”), as
supplemented by a supplemental indenture between Counterparty and the Trustee to be dated March 30,
2009 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”). In the
event of any inconsistency between the terms defined in the Prospectus, the Indenture and this
Confirmation, this Confirmation shall govern. The parties acknowledge that this Confirmation is
entered into on the date hereof with the understanding that (i) definitions set forth in the
Indenture which are also defined herein by reference to the Indenture and (ii) sections of the
Indenture that are referred to herein will conform to the descriptions thereof in the Prospectus.
If any such definitions in the Indenture or any such sections of the Indenture differ from the
descriptions thereof in the Prospectus, the descriptions thereof in the Prospectus will govern for
purposes of this Confirmation. The parties further acknowledge that the Indenture section numbers
used herein are based on the draft of the Indenture last reviewed by Dealer as of the date of this
Confirmation, and if any such section numbers are changed in the Indenture as executed, the parties
will amend this Confirmation in good faith to preserve the intent of the parties. For the
avoidance of doubt, references to the Base Indenture or the Supplemental Indenture, as the case may
be, herein are references to the Base Indenture or the Supplemental Indenture, as the case may be,
as in effect on the date of its execution and if the Base Indenture or the Supplemental Indenture
is amended following its execution, any such amendment will be disregarded for purposes of this
Confirmation unless the parties agree otherwise in writing.

          Each party is hereby advised, and each such party acknowledges, that the other party has
engaged in, or refrained from engaging in, substantial financial transactions and has taken other
material actions in reliance upon the parties’ entry into the Transaction to which this
Confirmation relates on the terms and conditions set forth below.

Agreement (the “Agreement”) as if Dealer and Counterparty had executed an agreement in such form
(but without any Schedule except for the election of the laws of the State of New York as the
governing law (without reference to the choice of law doctrine)) on the Trade Date. In the event
of any inconsistency between provisions of that Agreement and this Confirmation, this Confirmation

8. Representations and Warranties of Counterparty

The representations and warranties of Counterparty set forth in Section 1 of the Underwriting
Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) dated as of March 24, 2009 among Counterparty and Merrill
Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. as representatives of
the Underwriters are true and correct and are hereby deemed to be repeated to Dealer as if set
forth herein. Counterparty hereby further represents and warrants to Dealer that:

	 	(a)	 	Counterparty has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute,
deliver and perform its obligations in respect of this Transaction; such execution,
delivery and performance have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action
on Counterparty’s part; and this Confirmation has been duly and validly executed and
delivered by Counterparty and constitutes its valid and binding obligation,
enforceable against Counterparty in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar
laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to
enforceability, to general principles of equity, including principles of commercial
reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is
sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) and except that rights to indemnification
and contribution hereunder may be limited by federal or state securities laws or
public policy relating thereto.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Neither the execution and delivery of this Confirmation nor the incurrence or
performance of obligations of Counterparty hereunder will conflict with or result in a
breach of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or any equivalent documents) of
Counterparty, or any applicable law or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or
decree of any court or governmental authority or agency, or any agreement or
instrument to which Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which
Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which Counterparty or any of
its subsidiaries is subject, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation
of any lien under, any such agreement or instrument.
	 
	 	(c)	 	No consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or filing with, any
governmental agency or body or any court is required in connection with the execution,
delivery or performance by Counterparty of this Confirmation, except such as have been
obtained or made and such as may be required under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Securities Act”) or state securities laws.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Counterparty 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.
	 
	 	(e)	 	It is an “eligible contract participant” (as such term is defined in Section
1a(12) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended (the “CEA”)) because one or more of
the following is true:
	 
	 	 	 	Counterparty is a corporation, partnership, proprietorship, organization, trust or
other entity and:

	 	(A)	 	Counterparty has total assets in excess of USD 10,000,000;
	 
	 	(B)	 	the obligations of Counterparty hereunder are guaranteed, or
otherwise supported by a letter of credit or keepwell, support or other
agreement, by an entity of the type described in Section 1a(12)(A)(i) through
(iv), 1a(12)(A)(v)(I), 1a(12)(A)(vii) or 1a(12)(C) of the CEA; or
	 
	 	(C)	 	Counterparty has a net worth in excess of USD 1,000,000 and
has entered into this Agreement in connection with the conduct of
Counterparty’s business or to manage the risk associated with an asset or
liability owned or incurred or

11

 

	 	 	 	reasonably likely to be owned or incurred by Counterparty in the conduct of
Counterparty’s business.

	 	(f)	 	Each of it and its affiliates is not, on the date hereof, in possession of
any material non-public information with respect to Counterparty.

9. Other Provisions:

	 	(a)	 	Opinions. Counterparty shall deliver to Dealer, on or prior to the
Premium Payment Date, an opinion of counsel, dated as of the Premium Payment Date,
with respect to the matters set forth in Sections 8(a) through (c) of this
Confirmation, and delivery of such opinion to Dealer shall be a condition precedent
for the purposes of Section 2(a)(iii) of the Agreement with respect to each obligation
of Dealer under Section 2(a)(i) of the Agreement.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Repurchase Notices. 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 number of outstanding Shares as determined on such day is (i) less than 250
million (in the case of the first such notice) or (ii) thereafter more than 14 million
less than the number of Shares included in the immediately preceding Repurchase
Notice. Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Dealer and its affiliates
and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, advisors, agents and
controlling persons (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all
losses (including losses relating to Dealer’s hedging activities as a consequence of
becoming, or of the risk of becoming, a Section 16 “insider”, including without
limitation, any forbearance from hedging activities or cessation of hedging activities
and any losses in connection therewith with respect to this Transaction), claims,
damages, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees),
joint or several, which an Indemnified Person may become subject to, as a result of
Counterparty’s failure to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in
the manner specified in this paragraph, and to reimburse, within 30 days, upon written
request, each of such Indemnified Persons for any reasonable legal or other expenses
incurred in connection with investigating, preparing for, providing testimony or other
evidence in connection with or defending any of the foregoing. If any suit, action,
proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand
shall be brought or asserted against the Indemnified Person as a result of
Counterparty’s failure to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice in accordance with
this paragraph, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Counterparty in writing,
and Counterparty, upon request of the Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person
and any others Counterparty may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees
and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. Counterparty shall not be
liable for any settlement of any proceeding contemplated by this paragraph that is
effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be
a final judgment for the plaintiff, Counterparty agrees to indemnify any Indemnified
Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or
judgment. Counterparty shall not, without the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding
contemplated by this paragraph that is in respect of which any Indemnified Person is
or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such
Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such
Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such
proceeding on terms reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person. If the
indemnification provided for in this paragraph is unavailable to an Indemnified Person
or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to
therein, then Counterparty hereunder, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person
thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person
as a result of

12

 

	 	 	 	such losses, claims, damages or liabilities. The remedies provided for in this
paragraph (b) are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which
may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Party at law or in equity. The
indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this paragraph shall remain
operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this
Transaction.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Regulation M. Counterparty is not on the date hereof engaged in a
distribution, as such term is used in Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), of any securities of Counterparty, other
than (i) a distribution meeting the requirements of the exceptions set forth in Rules
101(b)(10) and 102(b)(7) of Regulation M and (ii) the distribution of the Convertible
Notes. Counterparty shall not, until the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately
following the Effective Date, engage in any such distribution.
	 
	 	(d)	 	No Manipulation. Counterparty is not entering into this Transaction
to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security
convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise
manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable
for the Shares) or otherwise in violation of the Exchange Act.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Transfer or Assignment. (i) Counterparty shall have the right to
transfer or assign its rights and obligations hereunder with respect to all, but not
less than all, of the Options hereunder (such Options, the “Transfer Options”);
provided that such transfer or assignment shall be subject to reasonable conditions
that Dealer may impose, including but not limited, to the following conditions:

(A) With respect to any Transfer Options, Counterparty shall not be released
from its notice and indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 9(b) or any
obligations under Section 9(n) or 9(s) of this Confirmation;

(B) Any Transfer Options shall only be transferred or assigned to a third party
that is a United States person (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended);

(C) Such transfer or assignment shall be effected on terms, including any
reasonable undertakings by such third party (including, but not limited to, an
undertaking with respect to compliance with applicable securities laws in a
manner that, in the reasonable judgment of Dealer, will not expose Dealer to
material risks under applicable securities laws) and execution of any
documentation and delivery of legal opinions with respect to securities laws
and other matters by such third party and Counterparty, as are requested and
reasonably satisfactory to Dealer;

(D) Dealer will not, as a result of such transfer and assignment, be required
to pay the transferee on any payment date an amount under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of
the Agreement greater than an amount that Dealer would have been required to
pay to Counterparty in the absence of such transfer and assignment;

(E) An Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or Termination Event will
not occur as a result of such transfer and assignment;

(F) Without limiting the generality of clause (B), Counterparty shall cause the
transferee to make such Payee Tax Representations and to provide such tax
documentation as may be reasonably requested by Dealer to permit Dealer to
determine that results described in clauses (D) and (E) will not occur upon or
after such transfer and assignment; and

(G) Counterparty shall be responsible for all reasonable costs and expenses,
including reasonable counsel fees, incurred by Dealer in connection with such
transfer or assignment.

13

 

(ii) Dealer may, without Counterparty’s consent, transfer or assign all or any part
of its rights or obligations under the Transaction to any third party with a rating
for its long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness equal to or better
than the greater of (x) the credit rating of Dealer at the time of the transfer and
(y) A- by Standard and Poor’s Rating Group, Inc. or its successor (“S&P”), or A3 by
Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or, if either S&P or Moody’s ceases to
rate such debt, at least an equivalent rating or better by a substitute rating
agency mutually agreed by Counterparty and Dealer. If at any time at which (1) the
Section 16 Percentage exceeds 7.5%, (2) the Option Equity Percentage exceeds 14.5%,
or (3) the Share Amount exceeds the Post-Effective Limit (if any applies), Dealer
is unable after using its commercially reasonable efforts to effect a transfer or
assignment of Options to a third party on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to
Dealer and within a time period reasonably acceptable to Dealer such that (1) the
Section 16 Percentage will be equal to or less than 7.5%, (2) the Option Equity
Percentage will be equal to or less than 14.5%, and (3) the Share Amount will be
equal to or less than any such Post-Effective Limit, then Dealer may designate any
Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the
Transaction (the “Terminated Portion”), such that following such partial
termination (1) the Section 16 Percentage will be equal to or less than 7.5%, (2)
the Option Equity Percentage will be equal to or less than 14.5%, and (3) the Share
Amount will be equal to or less than such Post-Effective Limit. In the event that
Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a Terminated
Portion, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (1)
an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having
terms identical to this Transaction and a Number of Options equal to the number of
Options underlying the Terminated Portion, (2) Counterparty shall be the sole
Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (3) the Terminated
Portion shall be the sole Affected Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt,
the provisions of Section 9(l) shall apply to any amount that is payable by Dealer
to Counterparty pursuant to this sentence as if Counterparty was not the Affected
Party). The “Section 16 Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a
percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Dealer and each
person subject to aggregation of Shares with Dealer under Section 13 or Section 16
of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder directly or indirectly
beneficially own (as defined under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and
rules promulgated thereunder) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of
Shares outstanding. The “Option Equity Percentage” as of any day is the fraction,
expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the product of (x) the
Number of Options and (y) the Option Entitlement and (B) the denominator of which
is the number of Shares outstanding. The “Share Amount” as of any day is the
number of Shares that Dealer and any person whose ownership position would be
aggregated with that of Dealer (Dealer or any such person, a “Dealer Person”) under
any law, rule, regulation or regulatory order that for any reason becomes
applicable to ownership of Shares after the Trade Date (“Applicable Laws”), owns,
beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or
otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership of under the Applicable Laws, as
determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion. The “Post-Effective Limit” means
(x) the minimum number of Shares that would give rise to reporting or registration
obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval from any
person or entity) of a Dealer Person, or would result in an adverse effect on a
Dealer Person, under the Applicable Laws, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable
discretion, minus (y) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding.

(iii) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary
requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any shares or
other securities, or make or receive any payment in cash, to or from Counterparty,
Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver
such shares or other securities, or to make or receive such payment in cash, and
otherwise to perform Dealer’s obligations in respect of this Transaction and any
such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer

14

 

shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such
performance.

	 	(f)	 	Staggered Settlement. If upon advice of counsel with respect to
applicable legal and regulatory requirements, including any requirements relating to
Dealer’s hedging activities hereunder, Dealer reasonably determines that it would not
be practicable or advisable to deliver, or to acquire Shares to deliver, any or all of
the Shares to be delivered by Dealer on the Settlement Date for the Transaction,
Dealer may, by notice to Counterparty on or prior to any Settlement Date (a “Nominal
Settlement Date”), elect to deliver the Shares on two or more dates (each, a
“Staggered Settlement Date”) as follows:

	 	(a)	 	in such notice, Dealer will specify to Counterparty the
related Staggered Settlement Dates (the first of which will be such Nominal
Settlement Date and the last of which will be no later than the twentieth
(20th) Exchange Business Day following such Nominal Settlement Date) and the
number of Shares that it will deliver on each Staggered Settlement Date;
	 
	 	(b)	 	the aggregate number of Shares that Dealer will deliver to
Counterparty hereunder on all such Staggered Settlement Dates will equal the
number of Shares that Dealer would otherwise be required to deliver on such
Nominal Settlement Date; and
	 
	 	(c)	 	if the Net Share Settlement terms set forth above were to
apply on the Nominal Settlement Date, then the Net Share Settlement terms will
apply on each Staggered Settlement Date, except that the Net Shares will be
allocated among such Staggered Settlement Dates as specified by Dealer in the
notice referred to in clause (a) above.

	 	(g)	 	Reserved.
	 
	 	(h)	 	Dividends. If at any time during the period from and including the
Effective Date, to but excluding the Expiration Date, (i) an ex-dividend date for a
regular quarterly cash dividend occurs with respect to the Shares (an “Ex-Dividend
Date”), and that dividend is less than the Regular Dividend on a per Share basis or
(ii) if no Ex-Dividend date for a regular quarterly cash dividend occurs with respect
to the Shares in any quarterly dividend period of Counterparty, then the Calculation
Agent will make a corresponding adjustment to any one or more of the Strike Price,
Number of Options, Option Entitlement and/or any other variable relevant to the
exercise, settlement or payment for the Transaction to preserve the fair value of the
Options to Dealer after taking into account such dividend or lack thereof. “Regular
Dividend” shall mean USD 0.05 per Share per quarter. Upon any adjustment to the
Initial Dividend Threshold (as defined in the Supplemental Indenture) for the
Convertible Notes pursuant to Section 4.04(d)(i) or Section 4.07 of the Supplemental
Indenture, the Calculation Agent will make a corresponding adjustment to the Regular
Dividend for the Transaction.
	 
	 	(i)	 	Additional Termination Events. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Confirmation if an event of default with respect to Counterparty
shall occur under the terms of the Convertible Notes as set forth in Section 5.01 of
the Supplemental Indenture or Section 501 of the Base Indenture, then such event of
default shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction
and, with respect to such event of default (A) Counterparty shall be deemed to be the
sole Affected Party and the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (B)
Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to
Section 6(b) of the Agreement.

15

 

	 	(j)	 	Amendments to 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 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.

	 	(k)	 	Setoff. 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 (and only Dealer)  shall have
the right to set off any obligation that it may have to Counterparty under this
Confirmation, including without limitation any obligation to make any payment of cash
or delivery of Shares to Counterparty, against any obligation Counterparty may have to
Dealer under any other agreement between Dealer and Counterparty relating to Shares
(each such contract or agreement, a “Separate Agreement”), including without
limitation any obligation to make a payment of cash or a delivery of Shares or any
other property or securities. For this purpose, Dealer shall be entitled to convert
any obligation (or the relevant portion of such obligation) denominated in one
currency into another currency at the rate of exchange at which it would be able to
purchase the relevant amount of such currency, and to convert any obligation to
deliver any non-cash property into an obligation to deliver cash in an amount
calculated by reference to the market value of such property as of the Early
Termination Date, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion;
provided that in the case of a set-off of any obligation to release or deliver assets
against any right to receive fungible assets, such obligation and right shall be set
off in kind and; provided further that in determining the value of any obligation to
deliver Shares, the value at any time of such obligation shall be determined by
reference to the market value of the Shares at such time, as determined in good faith
by the Calculation Agent. If an obligation 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, 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. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the
contrary provided in this Section 9(k), in the event of bankruptcy or liquidation of
either Counterparty or Dealer neither party shall have the right to set off any
obligation that it may have to the other party under this Transaction against any
obligation such other party may have to it, whether arising under the Agreement, this
Confirmation or any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or
otherwise.
	 
	 	(l)	 	Alternative Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain
Extraordinary Events. If in respect of this Transaction, an amount is payable by
Dealer to Counterparty (i) pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity
Definitions or (ii) pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (a “Payment
Obligation”), Counterparty may request Dealer to satisfy any such Payment Obligation
by the Share Termination Alternative (as defined below) (except that Counterparty
shall not make such an election in the event of a Nationalization, Insolvency, a
Merger Event or Tender Offer, in each case, in which the consideration to be paid to
holders of Shares consists solely of cash, or an Event of Default in which
Counterparty is the Defaulting Party or a Termination Event in which Counterparty is
the Affected Party, other than an Event of Default of the type described in Section
5(a)(iii), (v), (vi), (vii) or (viii) of the Agreement or a Termination Event of the
type described in Section 5(b) of the Agreement in each case that resulted from an
event or events outside Counterparty’s control) and shall give irrevocable telephonic
notice to Dealer, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day, no later than
12:00 p.m. New York local time on the Merger Date, the

16

 

Tender Offer Date, the Announcement Date (in the case of Nationalization,
Insolvency or Delisting), the Early Termination Date or date of cancellation, as
applicable; 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. In calculating any amounts under Section 6(e) of the Agreement,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, (1) separate amounts
shall be calculated as set forth in Section 6(e) with respect to (i) this
Transaction and (ii) all other Transactions, and (2) such separate amounts shall be
payable pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement.

	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	Share Termination Alternative:
	 	Applicable and means that Dealer
shall deliver to Counterparty the Share Termination Delivery Property on, or
within a commercially reasonable period of time after, the date when the
Payment Obligation would otherwise be due pursuant to Section 12.7 or 12.9 of
the Equity Definitions or Section 6(d)(ii) and 6(e) of the Agreement, as
applicable (the “Share Termination Payment Date”), in satisfaction of the
Payment Obligation in the manner reasonably requested by Counterparty free of
payment.
	 
	 	 	 	 
	 

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

	 	Share Termination Unit Price:
	 	The value to Dealer of property
contained in one Share Termination Delivery Unit, 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. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that in
determining the Share Termination Delivery Unit Price the Calculation Agent
may consider the purchase price paid in connection with the purchase of Share
Termination Delivery Property.
	 
	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	Share Termination Delivery Unit:
	 	One Share or, if a Merger Event
has occurred and a corresponding adjustment to this Transaction has been made,
a unit consisting of the number or amount of each type of property received by
a holder of one Share (without consideration of any

17

 

	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	 	 	requirement to pay cash or other
consideration in lieu of fractional
amounts of any securities) in such Merger
Event, as determined by the Calculation
Agent.
	 
	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	Failure to Deliver:
	 	Applicable
	 
	 	 	 	 
	 

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

	 	(m)	 	Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of
any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Transaction. Each party (i) certifies
that no representative, agent or attorney of either party has represented, expressly
or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of such a suit, action or
proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the
other party have been induced to enter into this Transaction, as applicable, by, among
other things, the mutual waivers and certifications provided herein.
	 
	 	(n)	 	Registration. Counterparty hereby agrees that if, in the good faith
reasonable judgment of Dealer, the Shares (“Hedge Shares”) acquired by Dealer for the
purpose of hedging its obligations pursuant to this Transaction cannot be sold in the
public market by Dealer without registration under the Securities Act, Counterparty
shall, at its election, either (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 and enter into an agreement, in form and substance
satisfactory to Dealer, substantially in the form of an underwriting agreement for a
registered secondary offering; 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
paragraph 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 for an issuance of its size, in form and
substance satisfactory to Dealer (in which case, the Calculation Agent shall make any
adjustments to the terms of this 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 Reference Price on such Exchange Business Days,
and in the amounts, requested by Dealer.
	 
	 	(o)	 	Tax 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

18

 

	 		 	analyses) that are provided to Counterparty relating to such tax treatment and tax
structure.
	 
	 	(p)	 	Right to Extend. Dealer may postpone, in whole or in part, any
Settlement Date or any other date of valuation, payment or delivery by Dealer or add
additional Settlement Dates or any other date of valuation, payment or delivery, with
respect to some or all of the Options hereunder, if Dealer reasonably determines, in
its 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 (but only if there is a material decrease in liquidity relative to Dealer’s
expectations on the Trade Date) or to enable Dealer to effect purchases or sales 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.
	 
	 	(q)	 	Status of Claims in Bankruptcy. Dealer acknowledges and agrees that
this Confirmation is not intended to convey to Dealer rights against Counterparty with
respect to the Transaction that are senior to the claims of common stockholders of
Counterparty in any United States bankruptcy proceedings of Counterparty; provided
that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealer’s right to pursue
remedies in the event of a breach by Counterparty of its obligations and agreements
with respect to the Transaction; provided, further, that nothing herein shall limit or
shall be deemed to limit Dealer’s rights in respect of any transactions other than the
Transaction.
	 
	 	(r)	 	Securities Contract; Swap Agreement. The parties hereto intend for:
(a) the Transaction to be a “securities contract” and a “swap agreement” as defined in
the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code) (the “Bankruptcy Code”), and
the parties hereto to be entitled to the protections afforded by, among other
Sections, Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 546(e), 546(g), 555 and 560 of the
Bankruptcy Code; (b) a party’s right to liquidate the Transaction and to exercise any
other remedies upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Agreement with
respect to the other party to constitute a “contractual right” as described in the
Bankruptcy Code; and (c) each payment and delivery of cash, securities or other
property hereunder to constitute a “margin payment” or “settlement payment” and a
“transfer” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code.
	 
	 	(s)	 	Additional Provisions. Counterparty covenants and agrees that, as
promptly as practicable following the public announcement of any consolidation, merger
and binding share exchange to which Counterparty is a party, or any sale of all or
substantially all of Counterparty’s assets, in each case pursuant to which the Shares
will be converted into cash, securities or other property, Counterparty shall notify
Dealer in writing of the types and amounts of consideration that holders of Shares
have elected to receive upon consummation of such transaction or event (the date of
such notification, the “Consideration Notification Date”); provided that in no event
shall the Consideration Notification Date be later than the date on which such
transaction or event is consummated.
	 
	 	(t)	 	Receipt or Delivery of Cash. For the avoidance of doubt, other than
payment of the Premium by Counterparty, nothing in this Confirmation shall be
interpreted as requiring Counterparty to cash settle this Transaction, except in
circumstances where such cash settlement is within Counterparty’s control (including,
without limitation, where Counterparty elects Combination Settlement, where
Counterparty elects to receive or deliver cash, or where Counterparty fails timely to
elect the Share Termination Alternative) or in those circumstances in which holders of
the Shares would also receive cash.

19

 

	 	(u)	 	Special Provisions for Counterparty Payments. The parties hereby
agree that, notwithstanding anything to contrary in this Confirmation, the Agreement
or the Equity Definitions, in the event that an Early Termination Date occurs or is
designated with respect to the Transaction as a result of a Termination Event and, as
a result, Counterparty owes to Dealer an amount calculated under Section 6(e) of the
Agreement, such amount shall be deemed to be zero.

20

 

          Counterparty hereby agrees (a) to check this Confirmation carefully and immediately upon
receipt so that errors or discrepancies can be promptly identified and rectified and (b) to confirm
that the foregoing (in the exact form provided by Dealer) correctly sets forth the terms of the
agreement between Dealer and Counterparty with respect to the Transaction, by manually signing this
Confirmation or this page hereof as evidence of agreement to such terms and providing the other

Re: Warrants

          The purpose of this letter agreement (this “Confirmation”) is to confirm the terms and
conditions of the Warrants issued by Newell Rubbermaid Inc. (“Company”) to Bank of America, N.A.
(“Dealer”) as of the Trade Date specified below (the “Transaction”). This letter agreement
constitutes a “Confirmation” as referred to in the ISDA Master Agreement specified below. This
Confirmation shall replace any previous agreements and serve as the final documentation for this
Transaction.

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

          Each party is hereby advised, and each such party acknowledges, that the other party has
engaged in, or refrained from engaging in, substantial financial transactions and has taken other
material actions in reliance upon the parties’ entry into the Transaction to which this
Confirmation relates on the terms and conditions set forth below.

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

	2.	 	The Transaction is a Warrant Transaction, which shall be considered a Share Option
Transaction for purposes of the Equity Definitions. The terms of the particular Transaction
to which this Confirmation relates are as follows:

contrary in the Equity Definitions, if any such date is a Disrupted Day, the Calculation
Agent shall make adjustments, if applicable, to the Daily Number of Warrants or shall
reduce such Daily Number of Warrants to zero for which such day shall be an Expiration
Date and shall designate a Scheduled Trading Day or a number of Scheduled Trading Days
as the Expiration Date(s) for the remaining Daily Number of Warrants or a portion
thereof for the originally scheduled Expiration Date; and provided further that if such

	 	First Expiration Date:

next following Scheduled Trading Day), subject to Market Disruption Event below.

	 	For any Expiration Date, the Number of Warrants that have not
expired or been exercised as of such day, divided by the remaining number of Expiration

adjustment pursuant to the provisos to “Expiration Date(s)”.
	 
	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	Automatic Exercise:
	 	Applicable; and means that a number of Warrants for each Expiration Date
equal to the Daily Number of Warrants (as adjusted pursuant to the terms hereof) for such
Expiration Date will be deemed to be automatically exercised; provided that
“In-the-Money” means that the Relevant Price for such Expiration Date exceeds the Strike
Price for such Expiration Date; and provided further that all references in Section
3.4(b) of the Equity Definitions to “Physical Settlement” shall be read as references to
“Net Share Settlement”.
	 
	 	 	 	 
	 

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

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

	 	Valuation Date:
	 	Each Exercise Date.
	 
	 	 	 	 
	Settlement Terms:

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

	 	Share Delivery Quantity:
	 	For any Settlement Date, a number of Shares, as calculated by
the Calculation Agent, equal to the Net Share Settlement Amount for such Settlement Date
divided by the Settlement Price on the Valuation Date in respect of such Settlement Date,
rounded down to the nearest whole number plus any Fractional Share Amount.
	 
	 	 	 	 
	 

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

	 	Settlement Price:
	 	For any Valuation Date, the per Share volume-weighted average price as

displayed under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP” on

3

 

	 	 	 	 	 
	 

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

	 	Settlement Date(s):
	 	As determined in reference to Section 9.4 of the Equity Definitions,
subject to Section 9(k)(i) hereof.
	 
	 	 	 	 
	Other Applicable Provisions:	 	The provisions of Sections 9.1(c), 9.8, 9.9, 9.11, 9.12 and 10.5 of
the Equity Definitions will be applicable, except that all references in such provisions to
“Physically-settled” shall be read as references to “Net Share Settled.” “Net Share Settled”
in relation to any Warrant means that Net Share Settlement is applicable to that Warrant.
	 
	 	 	 	 
	Representation and Agreement:	 	Notwithstanding Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions, the parties
acknowledge that any Shares delivered to Dealer may be, upon delivery, subject to restrictions
and limitations arising from Company’s status as issuer of the Shares under applicable
securities laws.
	 
	 	 	 	 
	3. Additional Terms applicable to the Transaction:

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

the Equity Definitions, it will also constitute a Delisting if the Exchange is located in
the United States and the Shares are not immediately re-listed, re-traded or re-quoted on
any of the New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market or The NASDAQ Global

7

and binding obligation, enforceable against Company in accordance with its terms,
subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization,
moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and
subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity, including principles
of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether
enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) and except that rights to
indemnification and contribution hereunder may be limited by federal or state
securities laws or public policy relating thereto.

	 	(b)	 	Neither the execution and delivery of this Confirmation nor the incurrence or
performance of obligations of Company hereunder will conflict with or result in a
breach of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or any equivalent documents) of
Company, or any applicable law or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree
of any court or governmental authority or agency, or any agreement or instrument to

Shares will not be subject to any preemptive or similar rights.

	 	(B)	 	the obligations of Company hereunder are guaranteed, or
otherwise supported by a letter of credit or keepwell, support or other
agreement, by an entity of the type described in Section 1a(12)(A)(i) through
(iv), 1a(12)(A)(v)(I), 1a(12)(A)(vii) or 1a(12)(C) of the CEA; or
	 
	 	(C)	 	Company has a net worth in excess of USD 1,000,000 and has
entered into this Agreement in connection with the conduct of Company’s
business or to manage the risk associated with an asset or liability owned or
incurred or reasonably likely to be owned or incurred by Company in the conduct
of Company’s business.

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

9. Other Provisions:

	 	(a)	 	Opinions. Company shall deliver to Dealer, on or prior to the Premium
Payment Date, an opinion of counsel, dated as of the Premium Payment Date, with respect
to the matters set forth in Sections 8(a) through (d) of this Confirmation, and
delivery of such opinion to Dealer shall be a condition precedent for the purposes of
Section 2(a)(iii) of the Agreement with respect to each obligation of Dealer under
Section 2(a)(i) of the Agreement.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Repurchase Notices. Company shall, on any day on which Company effects
any repurchase of Shares, promptly give Dealer a written notice of such repurchase (a
“Repurchase Notice”) on such day if following such repurchase, the number of
outstanding Shares on such day, subject to any adjustments provided herein, is (i) less
than 250 million (in the case of the first such notice) or (ii) thereafter more than 14
million less than the number of Shares included in the immediately preceding Repurchase
Notice. Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Dealer and its affiliates and
their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, advisors, agents and
controlling persons (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all losses
(including losses relating to Dealer’s hedging activities as a consequence of becoming,
or of the risk of becoming, a Section 16 “insider”, including without limitation, any
forbearance from hedging activities or cessation of hedging activities and any losses
in connection therewith with respect to this Transaction), claims, damages, judgments,
liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), joint or several,
which an Indemnified Person actually may become subject to, as a result of Company’s
failure to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner
specified in this paragraph, and to reimburse, within 30 days, upon written request,
each of such Indemnified Persons for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in
connection with investigating, preparing for, providing testimony or other evidence in
connection with or defending any of the foregoing. If any suit, action, proceeding
(including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be
brought or asserted against the Indemnified Person, such Indemnified Person shall
promptly notify Company in writing, and Company, upon request of the Indemnified
Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to
represent the Indemnified Person and any others Company may designate in such
proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such
proceeding. Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected
without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final
judgment for the plaintiff, Company agrees to indemnify any Indemnified Person from and
against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Company shall
not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement
of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is
or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such
Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such
Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such
proceeding on terms reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person. If the
indemnification provided for in this paragraph is unavailable to an Indemnified Person
or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to
therein, then Company under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified
Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified
Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities. The remedies
provided for in this paragraph are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or
remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in
equity. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this paragraph shall
remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this
Transaction.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Regulation M. Company is not on the date hereof engaged in a
distribution, as such term is used in Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), of any securities of Company, other than (i) a
distribution meeting the requirements of the exception set forth in Rules 101(b)(10)
and 102(b)(7) of Regulation M and (ii) the distribution of the USD 300,000,000
principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes due 2014. Company shall not, until the
second Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date, engage in any
such distribution.

9

 

	 	(d)	 	No Manipulation. Company is not entering into this Transaction to
create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible
into or exchangeable for the Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the
price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares)
or otherwise in violation of the Exchange Act.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Transfer or Assignment. Company may not transfer any of its rights or
obligations under this Transaction without the prior written consent of Dealer. Dealer
may, without Company’s consent, transfer or assign all or any part of its rights or
obligations under this Transaction to any third party. If at any time at which (1) the
Section 16 Percentage exceeds 7.5%, (2) the Warrant Equity Percentage exceeds 14.5%, or
(3) the Share Amount exceeds the Post-Effective Limit (if any applies), Dealer is
unable after using its commercially reasonable efforts to effect a transfer or
assignment of Warrants to a third party on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to
Dealer and within a time period reasonably acceptable to Dealer such that (1) the
Section 16 Percentage will be equal to or less than 7.5%, (2) the Warrant Equity
Percentage will be equal to or less than 14.5%, and (3) the Share Amount will be equal
to or less than any such Post-Effective Limit, then Dealer may designate any Exchange
Business Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction
(the “Terminated Portion”), such that following such partial termination (1) the
Section 16 Percentage will be equal to or less than 7.5%, (2) the Warrant Equity
Percentage will be equal to or less than 14.5%, and (3) the Share Amount will be equal
to or less than such Post-Effective Limit. In the event that Dealer so designates an
Early Termination Date with respect to a Terminated Portion, a payment shall be made
pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (1) an Early Termination Date had been
designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to this Transaction and a
Number of Warrants equal to the number of Warrants underlying the Terminated Portion,
(2) Company shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination
and (3) the Terminated Portion shall be the sole Affected Transaction (and, for the
avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 9(j) shall apply to any amount that is
payable by Company to Dealer pursuant to this sentence as if Company was not the
Affected Party). The “Section 16 Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed
as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Dealer and
each person subject to aggregation of Shares with Dealer under Section 13 or Section 16
of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder (the “Dealer Group”) directly or
indirectly beneficially own (as defined under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange
Act and rules promulgated thereunder) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of
Shares outstanding. The “Warrant Equity Percentage” as of any day is the fraction,
expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the product of (x) the Number
of Warrants and (y) the Warrant Entitlement and (B) the denominator of which is the
number of Shares outstanding. The “Share Amount” as of any day is the number of Shares
that Dealer and any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of
Dealer (Dealer or any such person, a “Dealer Person”) under any law, rule, regulation
or regulatory order that for any reason becomes applicable to ownership of Shares after
the Trade Date (“Applicable Laws”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns,
controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership
of under the Applicable Laws, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion. The
“Post-Effective Limit” means (x) the minimum number of Shares that would give rise to
reporting or registration obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior
approval from any person or entity) of a Dealer Person, or would result in an adverse
effect on a Dealer Person, under the Applicable Laws, as determined by Dealer in its
reasonable discretion, minus (y) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or
allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to
or from Company, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive
or deliver such Shares or other securities and otherwise to perform Dealer’s
obligations in respect of this Transaction and any such designee may assume such
obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Company to the extent of
any such performance.
	 
	 	(f)	 	Dividends. If at any time during the period from and including the
Effective Date, to and including the Expiration Date, (i) an ex-dividend date for a
cash dividend occurs with respect to the Shares (an “Ex-Dividend Date”), and that
dividend differs from the Regular Dividend on a per Share basis or (ii) if no
Ex-Dividend Date for a cash dividend occurs with respect to the Shares in

10

 

	 	 	 	any quarterly dividend period of Company, then the Calculation Agent will adjust any
of the Strike Price, Number of Warrants and/or Daily Number of Warrants to preserve
the fair value of the Warrants to Dealer after taking into account such dividend or
lack thereof. “Regular Dividend” shall mean for any calendar quarter, USD 0.05 for
the first cash dividend or distribution on the Shares for which the Ex-Dividend Date
falls within such calendar quarter, and zero for any subsequent dividend or
distribution on the Shares for which the Ex-Dividend Date falls within the same
calendar quarter.
	 
	 	(g)	 	Reserved.
	 
	 	(h)	 	Additional Provisions.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, upon the
occurrence of one of the following events, with respect to this Transaction, (1)
Dealer shall have the right to designate

11

 

such event an Additional Termination Event and designate an Early Termination Date
pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement, and (2) Company shall be deemed the sole
Affected Party and the Transaction shall be deemed the sole Affected Transaction:

(A) Consummation of any share exchange, consolidation or merger of Company or
any other transaction or series of transactions pursuant to which the Shares
will be converted into cash, securities or other property or any sale, lease or
other transfer in one transaction or a series of transactions of all or
substantially all of the consolidated assets of Company and its subsidiaries,
taken as a whole, to any person other than one of Company’s subsidiaries;
provided, however, that a transaction where the holders of all classes of
Company’s common equity immediately prior to such transaction that is a share
exchange, consolidation or merger own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of
all classes of common equity of the continuing or surviving corporation or
transferee or the parent thereof immediately after such event shall not
constitute an Additional Termination Event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
event set forth in this clause (A) shall not constitute an Additional
Termination Event if 100% of the consideration received or to be received by
holders of the Shares, excluding cash payments for fractional Shares, in
connection with such event consists of shares of common stock traded on the New
York Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ Global Market or the NASDAQ Global Select
Market (or any of their respective successors) or which will be so traded or
quoted when issued or exchanged in connection with such event.

(B) (I) Company or any of its subsidiary defaults (as principal or as guarantor
or other surety) in the payment of any principal of or premium or make-whole
amount or interest on any debt that is outstanding in an aggregate principal
amount of at least $50,000,000 beyond any period of grace provided with respect
thereto resulting in such debt becoming or being declared due and payable or
(II) Company or any of its subsidiaries fails to perform or comply with any
term of any evidence of any debt in an aggregate outstanding principal amount
of at least $50,000,000 or of any mortgage, indenture or other agreement
relating thereto or any other condition exists, and as a consequence of such
failure or condition such debt has become, or has been declared, due and
payable before its stated maturity or before its regularly scheduled dates of
payment, or (III) as a consequence of the occurrence or continuation of any
event or condition (other than the passage of time or the right of the holder
of debt to convert such debt into cash or cash and equity interests), Company
or any of its subsidiaries has become obligated to purchase or repay debt
before its stated maturity or before its regularly scheduled dates of payment
in an aggregate outstanding principal amount of at least $50,000,000.

(C) A “person” or “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act other than Company, its subsidiaries and its and their employee benefit
plans, has become the direct or indirect “beneficial owner,” as defined in Rule
13d-3 under the Exchange Act, of the common equity of Company representing more
than 50% of the voting power of such common equity.

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

	 	(i)	 	No Collateral or Setoff. Notwithstanding any provision of the
Agreement or any other agreement between the parties to the contrary, the obligations
of Company hereunder are not secured by any collateral. Obligations under this
Transaction shall not be set off by Company against any other obligations of the
parties, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation, under any other
agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise. Any provision
in

12

 

	 	 	 	the Agreement with respect to the satisfaction of Company’s payment obligations to
the extent of Dealer’s payment obligations to Company in the same currency and in
the same Transaction (including, without limitation Section 2(c) thereof) shall not
apply to Company and, for the avoidance of doubt, Company shall fully satisfy such
payment obligations notwithstanding any payment obligation to Company by Dealer in
the same currency and in the same Transaction. In calculating any amounts under
Section 6(e) of the Agreement, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the
Agreement, (1) separate amounts shall be calculated as set forth in such Section
6(e) with respect to (a) this Transaction and (b) all other Transactions, and (2)
such separate amounts shall be payable pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the
Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary
provided in this Section 9(i), in the event of bankruptcy or liquidation of either
Company or Dealer neither party shall have the right to set off any obligation that
it may have to the other party under this Transaction against any obligation such
other party may have to it, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation
or any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise.

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

	 	 	 	 	 
	 

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

	 	Share Termination Delivery Property:
	 	A number of Share Termination
Delivery Units, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the Payment
Obligation divided by the Share Termination Unit Price. The Calculation Agent
shall adjust the amount of Share Termination Delivery

13

 

	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	 	 	Property by replacing any fractional portion
of a security therein with an amount of cash
equal to the value of such fractional security
based on the values used to calculate the
Share Termination Unit Price.
	 
	 	 	 	 
	 

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

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

	 	Failure to Deliver:
	 	Inapplicable
	 
	 	 	 	 
	 

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

14

 

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

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

15

 

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

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

	 	 	 	If the Private Placement Settlement or the Registration Settlement shall not be
effected as set forth in clauses (i) or (ii), as applicable, then failure to effect
such Private Placement Settlement or such Registration Settlement shall constitute
an Event of Default with respect to which Company shall be the Defaulting Party.
	 
	 	(l)	 	Limit on Beneficial Ownership. Notwithstanding any other provisions
hereof, Dealer may not exercise any Warrant hereunder, have the “right to acquire”
(within the meaning of NYSE Rule 312.04(g)) Shares upon exercise of any Warrant
hereunder or be entitled to take delivery of any Shares deliverable hereunder, and
Automatic Exercise shall not apply with respect to any Warrant hereunder, to the extent
(but only to the extent) that, after such receipt of any Shares upon the exercise of
such Warrant or otherwise hereunder, (i) the Share Amount would exceed the
Post-Effective Limit, or (ii) Dealer Group would directly or indirectly beneficially
own (as such term is defined for purposes of Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange
Act and rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of the lesser of (A) 7.5% of the then
outstanding Shares or (B) 13,577,900 Shares (the “Threshold Number of Shares”). Any
purported delivery hereunder shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only
to the extent) that, after such delivery, (i) the Share Amount would exceed the
Post-Effective Limit, or (ii) Dealer Group would directly or indirectly so beneficially
own in excess of the Threshold Number of Shares. If any delivery owed to Dealer
hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, Company’s
obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and Company shall make such
delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than one Business Day
after, Dealer gives notice to Company that, after such delivery, (i) the Share Amount
would not exceed the Post-Effective Limit, and (ii) Dealer Group would not directly or
indirectly so beneficially own in excess of the Threshold Number of Shares.
	 
	 	(m)	 	Share Deliveries. Company acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent
the holder of this Warrant is not then an affiliate and has not been an affiliate for
90 days (it being understood that Dealer will not be considered an affiliate under this
paragraph solely by reason of its receipt of Shares pursuant to this Transaction), and
otherwise satisfies all holding period and other requirements of Rule 144 of the
Securities Act applicable to it, any delivery of Shares or Share Termination Delivery
Property hereunder at any time after 6 months from the Trade Date (or 1 year from the
Trade Date if, at such time, informational requirements of Rule 144(c) are not
satisfied with respect to Company) shall be eligible for resale under Rule 144 of the
Securities Act and Company agrees to promptly remove, or cause the transfer agent for
such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property, to remove, any legends referring to
any restrictions on resale under the Securities Act from the Shares or Share
Termination Delivery Property. Company further agrees that any delivery of Shares or
Share Termination Delivery Property prior to the date that is 6 months from the Trade
Date (or 1 year from the Trade Date if, at such time, informational requirements of
Rule 144(c) are not satisfied with respect to Company), may be transferred by and among
Dealer and its affiliates and Company shall effect such transfer without any further
action by Dealer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Company agrees that
any delivery of Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property shall be effected by
book-entry transfer through the facilities of DTC, or any successor depositary, if at
the time of delivery, such class of Shares or

17

 

	 	 	 	class of Share Termination Delivery Property is in book-entry form at DTC or such
successor depositary. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the
extent the provisions of Rule 144 of the Securities Act or any successor rule are
amended, or the applicable interpretation thereof by the Securities and Exchange
Commission or any court change after the Trade Date, the agreements of Company
herein shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary, in the opinion of outside
counsel of Company, to comply with Rule 144 of the Securities Act, as in effect at
the time of delivery of the relevant Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property.
	 
	 	(n)	 	Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any
suit, action or proceeding relating to this Transaction. Each party (i) certifies that
no representative, agent or attorney of the other party has represented, expressly or
otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of such a suit, action or
proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the
other party have been induced to enter into this Transaction, as applicable, by, among
other things, the mutual waivers and certifications provided herein.
	 
	 	(o)	 	Tax Disclosure. Effective from the date of commencement of discussions
concerning the Transaction, Company and each of its employees, representatives, or
other agents may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the
tax treatment and tax structure of the Transaction and all materials of any kind
(including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to Company relating to
such tax treatment and tax structure.
	 
	 	(p)	 	Maximum Share Delivery. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Confirmation or the Agreement, in no event will Company be required to deliver more
than the Maximum Amount of Shares in the aggregate to Dealer in connection with this
Transaction, subject to the provisions regarding Deficit Restricted Shares
	 
	 	(q)	 	Right to Extend. Dealer may postpone, in whole or in part, any
Expiration Date or any other date of valuation or delivery with respect to some or all
of the relevant Warrants (in which event the Calculation Agent shall make appropriate
adjustments to the Daily Number of Warrants with respect to one or more Expiration
Dates) if Dealer determines, in its commercially reasonable judgment, that such
extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate to preserve Dealer’s hedging or hedge
unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions or to enable Dealer
to effect purchases of Shares in connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or
settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if Dealer were Issuer or an
affiliated purchaser of Issuer, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or
self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to
Dealer.
	 
	 	(r)	 	Status of Claims in Bankruptcy. Dealer acknowledges and agrees that
this Confirmation is not intended to convey to Dealer rights against Company with
respect to the Transaction that are senior to the claims of common stockholders of
Company in any United States bankruptcy proceedings of Company; provided that nothing
herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealer’s right to pursue remedies in the
event of a breach by Company of its obligations and agreements with respect to the
Transaction; provided, further, that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to
limit Dealer’s rights in respect of any transactions other than the Transaction.
	 
	 	(s)	 	Securities Contract; Swap Agreement. The parties hereto intend for:
(a) the Transaction to be a “securities contract” and a “swap agreement” as defined in
the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code) (the “Bankruptcy Code”), and
the parties hereto to be entitled to the protections afforded by, among other Sections,
Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 546(e), 546(g), 555 and 560 of the Bankruptcy Code; (b)
a party’s right to liquidate the Transaction and to exercise any other remedies upon
the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Agreement with respect to the other
party to constitute a “contractual right” as described in the Bankruptcy Code; and (c)
each payment and delivery of cash, securities or other property hereunder to constitute
a “margin payment” or “settlement payment” and a “transfer” as defined in the
Bankruptcy Code.

18

 

	 	(t)	 	Delivery or Receipt of Cash. For the avoidance of doubt, other than
receipt of the Premium by Company, nothing in this Confirmation shall be interpreted as
requiring Company to cash settle this Transaction, except in circumstances where such
cash settlement is within Company’s control (including, without limitation, where
Company elects to deliver or receive cash, where Company fails timely to elect the
Share Termination Alternative, or where Company has made Private Placement Settlement
unavailable due to the occurrence of events within its control ) or in those
circumstances in which holders of the Shares would also receive cash.

19

 

          Company hereby agrees (a) to check this Confirmation carefully and immediately upon receipt so
that errors or discrepancies can be promptly identified and rectified and (b) to confirm that the
foregoing (in the exact form provided by Dealer) correctly sets forth the terms of the agreement
between Dealer and Company with respect to the Transaction, by manually signing this Confirmation
or this page hereof as evidence of agreement to such terms and providing the other information
requested herein and immediately returning an executed copy to John Servidio, Bank of America,
N.A., Facsimile No. (704) 208-2869.
