	Settlement Terms:
	 	 	 	 
	 
	 	 	 	 
	Net Share Settlement:

	 	In lieu of the obligations set forth in Sections 8.1 and
9.1 of the Equity Definitions, and subject to “Notice of
Exercise” above, in respect of any Exercise Date
occurring on a Conversion Date, Deutsche shall deliver to
Counterparty, on the related Settlement Date, the
Settlement Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, to the
extent Deutsche is obligated to deliver Shares hereunder,
the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.10, 9.11 and 9.12
of the Equity Definitions shall be applicable to any such
delivery of Shares, except that all references in such
provisions to “Physical Settlement” and
“Physically-settled” shall be read as references to “Net
Share Settlement” and “Net Share Settled”; and provided
that the Representation and Agreement contained in
Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions shall be modified
by excluding any representations therein relating to
restrictions, obligations, limitations or requirements
under applicable securities laws as a result of the fact
that Counterparty is the issuer of the Shares.

	 
	 	 	 	 
	Settlement Amount:

	 	The product of the Applicable Percentage and a number of
Shares equal to the Net Shares. In no event will the Net
Shares be less than zero.

	 
	 	 	 	 
	Net Shares:

	 	In respect of any Note Hedging Unit exercised or deemed
exercised, a number of Shares equal to (A) the sum of the
quotients, for each Valid Day during the Settlement
Averaging Period for such Note Hedging Unit, of (x) the
Note Hedging Unit Entitlement on such Valid Day
multiplied by (y) the Relevant Price on such Valid Day
less the Strike Price, divided by (z) such Relevant
Price, divided by (B) the number of Valid Days in the
Settlement Averaging Period; provided that in no event
shall the Net Shares for any Note Hedging Unit exceed a
number of Shares equal to the Applicable Limit for such
Note Hedging Unit divided by the Relevant Price on the
last Valid Day of the Settlement Averaging Period (or if
such Note Hedging Unit relates to a Convertible Note with
a Conversion Date occurring on or after the Aggregate
Conversion Date, the Relevant Price on the second
Scheduled Valid Day immediately preceding the Expiration
Date); provided further that if the calculation contained
in clause (y) above results in a negative number, such
number shall be replaced with the number “zero”. For the
avoidance of doubt, such obligation shall be determined
excluding any Shares or cash that Counterparty is
obligated to deliver to holder(s) of the Convertible
Notes as a result of any adjustments to the “Conversion
Rate” for issuance of additional Shares or cash as set
forth in Section 4.02 of the Indenture (a “Fundamental
Change Adjustment”) or any voluntary adjustment pursuant
to Sections 5.08 and 5.09 of the Indenture (a
“Discretionary Adjustment”).

	 
	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	Deutsche will deliver cash in lieu of any fractional
Shares to be delivered with respect to any Net Shares,
valued at the Relevant Price for the last Valid Day of
the Settlement Averaging Period.

4

 

	 	 	 	 	 
	Applicable Limit:

	 	For any Note Hedging Unit, an amount of cash equal to the
Applicable Percentage multiplied by the excess of (i) the
number of Shares delivered to the Holder (as such term is
defined in the Indenture) of the related Convertible Note
upon conversion of such Convertible Note multiplied by
the Relevant Price on the date provided by Counterparty
to Dealer pursuant to clause (ii) of “Notice of
Exercise,” or if such Note Hedging Unit relates to a
Convertible Note with a Conversion Date occurring on or
after the Aggregate Conversion Date, the Relevant Price
on the second Scheduled Valid Day immediately preceding
the Expiration Date, over (ii) USD 1,000.

	 
	 	 	 	 
	Valid Day:

	 	A day on which (i) there is no Market Disruption Event
and (ii) trading in the Shares generally occurs on the
Exchange or, if the Shares are not then listed on the
Exchange, on the primary other United States national or
regional securities exchange on which the Shares are
listed or admitted for trading or, if the Shares are not
then listed or admitted for trading on a United States
national or regional securities exchange, on the
principal other market on which the Shares are then
traded. If the Shares are not so listed or admitted for
trading, “Valid Day” means a Business Day.

	 
	 	 	 	 
	Scheduled Valid Day:

	 	A day that is scheduled to be a Valid Day on the
principal United States national or regional securities
exchange or market on which the Shares are listed or
admitted for trading. If the Shares are not so listed or
admitted for trading, “Scheduled Valid Day” means a
Business Day.

	 
	 	 	 	 
	Business Day:

	 	Any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York is authorized or
required by law or executive order to close or be closed.

	 
	 	 	 	 
	Relevant Price:

	 	On any Valid Day, the per Share volume-weighted average
price as displayed under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP” on
Bloomberg page TSYS <equity> AQR (or any successor
thereto) in respect of the period from the scheduled
opening time of the Exchange to the Scheduled Closing
Time of the Exchange on such Valid Day (or if such
volume-weighted average price is unavailable, the market
value of one Share on such Valid Day, as determined by
the Calculation Agent using a substantially similar
volume-weighted method). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if any Valid Day is a Disrupted Day and the Calculation
Agent determines that such Disrupted Day shall be a Valid
Day in part in respect of a number of Net Shares, then
the Relevant Price for such Valid Day and such number of
Net Shares shall be the volume-weighted average price per
Share on such Valid Day 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 Valid Day and such number of Net Shares
for which the Calculation Agent determines there is no
Market Disruption Event, and the Calculation Agent shall
make corresponding adjustments to the settlement terms
hereunder to account for such partial Valid Day.

	Settlement Averaging Period:

	 	For any Note Hedging Unit:

Conversion Date, delivered a Notice of Exercise to Dealer
with respect to such Note Hedging Unit with a Conversion
Date occurring prior to the Aggregate Conversion Date,
the 40 consecutive Valid Days commencing on and including
the second Scheduled Valid Day following such Conversion
Date; or

	 
	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	     (ii) if Counterparty has, on or following the Aggregate
Conversion Date, delivered a Notice of Exercise to Dealer
with respect to such Note Hedging Unit with a Conversion
Date occurring on or following the Aggregate Conversion
Date, the 40 consecutive Valid Days commencing on, and
including, the 42nd Scheduled Valid Day immediately
prior to the Expiration Date.

Settlement Averaging Period for such Note Hedging Unit.

	 
	 	 	 	 
	Settlement Currency:

	 	USD.

	 
	 	 	 	 
	Restricted Certificated Shares:

	 	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Equity
Definitions, Deutsche may, in whole or in part, deliver
Shares in certificated form representing the Share
portion of the Settlement Amount to Counterparty in lieu
of delivery through the Clearance System.

	 
	 	 	 	 
	Share Adjustments:
	 	 	 	 
	 
	 	 	 	 
	Potential Adjustment Events:

	 	Notwithstanding Section 11.2(e) of the Equity
Definitions, a “Potential Adjustment Event” means any
occurrence of any event or condition, as set forth in
Section 5.06 of the Indenture that would result in an
adjustment to the Conversion Rate of the Convertible
Notes; provided that in no event shall there be any
adjustment hereunder as a result of the Fundamental
Change Adjustment or Discretionary Adjustment provisions
of the Indenture.

	 
	 	 	 	 
	Method of Adjustment:

	 	Calculation Agent Adjustment, which means that,
notwithstanding Section 11.2(c) of the Equity
Definitions, upon any adjustment to the Conversion Rate
of the Convertible Notes pursuant to the Indenture (other
than a Fundamental Change Adjustment or a Discretionary
Adjustment), the Calculation Agent shall make a
corresponding adjustment to any one or more of the Strike
Price, Number of Note Hedging Units, the Note Hedging
Unit Entitlement and any other variable relevant to the
exercise, settlement, payment or other terms of the
Transaction.

	 
	 	 	 	 
	Extraordinary Events:
	 	 	 	 
	 
	 	 	 	 
	Merger Events:

	 	Notwithstanding Section 12.1(b) of the Equity
Definitions, a “Merger Event” means only the occurrence
of any event or condition set forth in

6

 

	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	Section 5.11 of the Indenture.

	 
	 	 	 	 
	Notice of Merger Consideration:

	 	Upon the occurrence of a Merger Event that causes the
Shares to be converted into or exchanged for more than a
single type of consideration (determined based in part
upon the form of election of the holders of Shares),
Counterparty shall promptly (but in any event prior to
the effective date of the Merger Event) notify the
Calculation Agent of the weighted average of the kind and
amounts of consideration to be received by the holders of
Shares in any Merger Event who affirmatively make such an
election.

	 
	 	 	 	 
	Consequences of Merger Events:

	 	Notwithstanding Section 12.2 of the Equity Definitions,
upon the occurrence of a Merger Event, the Calculation
Agent shall make the corresponding adjustment in respect
of any adjustment under the Indenture to any one or more
of the nature of the Shares, the Strike Price, the Number
of Note Hedging Units, the Note Hedging Unit Entitlement
and any other variable relevant to the exercise,
settlement, payment or other terms of the Transaction, to
the extent an analogous adjustment is made under the
Indenture; provided that such adjustment shall be made
without regard to any adjustment to the Conversion Rate
for the issuance of additional shares or cash pursuant to
a Fundamental Change Adjustment or a Discretionary
Adjustment; and provided further that the Calculation
Agent may limit or alter any such adjustment referenced
in this paragraph so that the fair value of the
Transaction to Deutsche is not reduced as a result of
such adjustment.

	 
	 	 	 	 
	Nationalization, Insolvency and Delisting:

	 	Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent
Determination); provided that in addition to the
provisions of Section 12.6(a)(iii) of the Equity
Definitions, it shall 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 Market (or their
respective successors); if the Shares are immediately
re-listed, re-traded or re-quoted on any such exchange or
quotation system, such exchange or quotation system shall
be deemed to be the Exchange. For the avoidance of
doubt, the occurrence of any event that is a Merger Event
and would otherwise have been a Delisting will have the
consequence specified for the relevant Merger Event.

	 
	 	 	 	 
	Additional Disruption Events:
	 	 	 	 
	 
	 	 	 	 
	Change in Law:

	 	Applicable; provided that Section 12.9(a)(ii) of the
Equity Definitions is hereby amended (i) by the
replacement of the word “Shares” with “Hedge Positions”
in clause (X) thereof; (ii) by adding the phrase “or
announcement” immediately after the phrase “due to the
promulgation” in the third line thereof and adding the
phrase “formal or informal” before the word
“interpretation” in the same line; and (iii) immediately
following the word “Transaction” in clause (X) thereof,
adding the phrase “in the manner contemplated by the
Hedging Party on the Trade Date, unless the illegality is
due to an act or omission of the party seeking to elect

contained elsewhere herein, Counterparty represents, warrants, acknowledges and covenants that:

	 	(i)	 	Counterparty is not as of the Trade Date, and shall not be after giving effect to

	 	(ii)	 	Counterparty shall immediately provide written notice to Deutsche upon obtaining
knowledge of the occurrence of any event that would constitute an Event of Default, a

the loss of its entire investment in the Transaction.
	 
	 	(vi)	 	The representations and warranties of Counterparty set forth in Section 3 of the

communication (written or oral) of Deutsche or any of its affiliates as investment

Counterparty acknowledges that Deutsche is not making any representations or warranties
with respect to the treatment of the Transaction under FASB Statements 128, 133, 149 or

Shares), in either case in violation of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Exchange Act”).
	 
	 	(xiii)	 	Counterparty’s filings under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, and other
applicable securities laws that are required to be filed have been filed and, as of the
respective dates thereof and as of the date of this representation, there is no
misstatement of material fact contained therein or omission of a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in the light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
	 
	 	(xiv)	 	Counterparty has not violated, and shall not directly or indirectly violate, any
applicable law (including, without limitation, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act)
in connection with the Transaction.
	 
	 	(xv)	 	The Transaction, and any repurchase of the Shares by Counterparty in connection
with the Transaction, is pursuant to a publicly announced Share repurchase program that
has been approved by Counterparty’s board of directors (including engaging in
derivative transactions) and any such repurchase has been, or shall when so required
be, publicly disclosed in its periodic filings under the Exchange Act and its financial
statements and notes thereto.
	 
	 	(xvi)	 	Counterparty shall deliver to Deutsche an opinion of counsel, dated as of the
Trade Date and reasonably acceptable to Deutsche in form and substance, with respect to
the matters set forth in Section 3(a) of the Agreement and such other matters as
Deutsche may reasonably request.

Miscellaneous:

Netting and Set-Off. The parties hereto agree that the Transaction shall not be
subject to netting or set off with any other transaction.

Qualified Financial Contracts. It is the intention of the parties that, in respect of
Counterparty, (a) the Transaction shall constitute a “qualified financial contract”
within the meaning of 12 U.S.C. Section 1821(e)(8)(D)(i) and (b) a Non-defaulting
Party’s rights under Sections 5 and 6 of the Agreement constitute rights of the kind
referred to in 12 U.S.C. Section 1821(e)(8)(A).

Method of Delivery. Whenever delivery of funds or other assets is required hereunder
by or to Counterparty, such delivery shall be effected through Agent. In addition, all
notices, demands and communications of any kind relating to the Transaction between
Deutsche and Counterparty shall be transmitted exclusively through Agent.

Staggered Settlement. Deutsche may, by notice to Counterparty prior to any Settlement
Date (a “Nominal Settlement Date”), elect to deliver the Shares deliverable on such
Nominal Settlement Date on two or more dates

10

 

(each, a “Staggered Settlement Date”) or
at two or more times on the Nominal Settlement Date as follows: (i) in such notice,
Deutsche will specify to Counterparty the related Staggered Settlement Dates (each of
which will be on or prior to such Nominal Settlement Date or delivery times and how it
will allocate the Shares it is required to deliver under “Net Share Settlement” above
among the Staggered Settlement Dates or delivery times; and (ii) the aggregate number
of Shares that Deutsche will deliver to Counterparty hereunder on all such Staggered
Settlement Dates and delivery times will equal the number of Shares that Deutsche would
otherwise be required to deliver on such Nominal Settlement Date.

Additional Termination Events. The occurrence of (i) an “Event of Default” with
respect to Counterparty under the terms of the Convertible Notes as set forth in
Section 9.01 of the Indenture, (ii) an Amendment Event or (iii) a Repayment Event shall
be an Additional Termination Event, in each case with the Transaction as the sole
Affected Transaction and Counterparty as the sole Affected Party and Deutsche as the
party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(a) of the
Agreement; provided that in the case of a Repayment Event the Transaction shall be
subject to termination only in respect of the portion of the Transaction corresponding
to the number of Convertible Notes subject to such Repayment Event.

“Amendment Event” means that Counterparty amends, modifies, supplements or obtains a
waiver with respect to any term of the Indenture or the Convertible Notes if such
amendment, modification, supplement or waiver has an adverse effect on this Transaction
or Deutsche’s ability to hedge all or a portion of this Transaction, with such
determination to be made in the sole discretion of the Calculation Agent. For the
avoidance of doubt, Counterparty electing to increase the Conversion Rate pursuant to a
Discretionary Adjustment shall not constitute an Amendment Event.

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

Disposition of Hedge Shares. Counterparty hereby agrees that if, in the good faith
reasonable judgment of Deutsche, the Shares (the “Hedge Shares”) acquired by Deutsche
for the purpose of hedging its obligations pursuant to the Transaction cannot be sold
in the public market by Deutsche without registration under the Securities Act,
Counterparty shall, at its election: (i) in order to allow Deutsche to sell the Hedge
Shares in a registered offering, make available to Deutsche an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act to cover the resale of such Hedge Shares and (A)
enter into an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Deutsche, substantially
in the form of an underwriting agreement for a registered offering, (B) provide
accountant’s “comfort” letters in customary form for registered offerings of equity
securities, (C) provide disclosure opinions of nationally recognized outside counsel to
Counterparty reasonably acceptable to Deutsche, (D) provide other customary opinions,
certificates and closing documents customary in form for registered offerings of equity
securities and (E) afford Deutsche a reasonable opportunity to conduct a “due
diligence” investigation with respect to Counterparty customary in scope for
underwritten offerings of equity securities; provided, however, that if Deutsche, 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 Deutsche 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 of its size, in form and
substance satisfactory to Deutsche, including customary representations, covenants,
blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to Deutsche,
due diligence rights (for Deutsche or any designated buyer of the Hedge Shares from
Deutsche), opinions and certificates and such other documentation as is customary for
private placements agreements of similar size, all

11

 

reasonably acceptable to Deutsche
(in which case, the Calculation Agent shall make any adjustments to the terms of the
Transaction that are necessary, in its reasonable judgment, to compensate Deutsche 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 Deutsche at the
VWAP Price on such Exchange Business Days, and in the amounts, requested by Deutsche.
“VWAP Price” means, on any Exchange Business Day, the per Share volume-weighted average
price as displayed under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP” on Bloomberg page TSYS
<equity> AQR (or any successor thereto) in respect of the period from 9:30 a.m.
to 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Exchange Business Day (or if such
volume-weighted average price is unavailable, the market value of one Share on such
Exchange Business Day, as determined by the Calculation Agent using a volume-weighted
method). This paragraph shall survive the termination, expiration or early unwind of
the Transaction.

Limitation On Delivery of Shares. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Agreement
to the contrary, in no event shall Counterparty be required to deliver Shares in
connection with the Transaction in excess of 7,827,600 Shares (the “Maximum Delivery
Amount”). Counterparty represents and warrants (which shall be deemed to be repeated
on each day that the Transaction is outstanding) that the Maximum Delivery Amount is
equal to or less than the number of authorized but unissued Shares of Counterparty that
are not reserved for future issuance in connection with transactions in the Shares
(other than the Transaction) on the date of the determination of the Maximum Delivery
Amount (such Shares, the “Available Shares”). In the event Counterparty shall not have
delivered the full number of Shares otherwise deliverable as a result of this paragraph
(the resulting deficit, the “Deficit Shares”), Counterparty shall be continually
obligated to deliver, from time to time until the full number of Deficit Shares have
been delivered pursuant to this paragraph, Shares when, and to the extent, that (i)
Shares are repurchased, acquired or otherwise received by Counterparty 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) Counterparty additionally authorizes any
unissued Shares that are not reserved for other transactions. Counterparty shall
immediately notify Deutsche 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 Shares to be delivered) and promptly deliver such Shares thereafter.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5(a)(ii) of the Agreement, in the event of a
failure by Counterparty to comply with the agreement set forth in this provision, there
shall be no grace period for remedy of such failure.

Status of Claims in Bankruptcy. Deutsche acknowledges and agrees that this
Confirmation is not intended to convey to Deutsche rights with respect to the
Transaction that are senior to the claims of common stockholders in any U.S. bankruptcy
proceedings of Counterparty; provided that nothing herein shall limit or shall be
deemed to limit Deutsche’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
Deutsche’s rights in respect of any transactions other than the Transaction.

No Collateral. Notwithstanding any provision of this Confirmation, the Agreement,
Equity Definitions, or any other agreement between the parties to the contrary, the
obligations of Counterparty under the Transaction are not secured by any collateral.

Securities Contract; Swap Agreement. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that
Deutsche is a “financial institution,” “swap participant” and “financial participant”
within the meaning of Sections 101(22), 101(53C) and 101(22A) of the Bankruptcy Code.
The parties hereto further agree and acknowledge (A) that this Confirmation is (i) a
“securities contract,” as such term is defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy
Code, with respect to which each payment and delivery hereunder or in connection
herewith is a “termination value,” “payment amount” or “other transfer obligation”
within the meaning of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and a “settlement payment” or
a “transfer” within the meaning of Section 546 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (ii) a “swap
agreement,” as such term is defined in Section 101(53B) of the Bankruptcy Code, with
respect to which each payment and delivery hereunder or in connection herewith is a
“termination value,” a “payment amount” or “other transfer obligation” within the
meaning of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and a “transfer” within the meaning of
Section 546 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (B) that Deutsche is entitled to the
protections afforded by, among other sections, Section 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17),
362(b)(27), 362(o), 546(e), 546(g), 546(j), 548(d)(2), 555, 560 and 561 of the
Bankruptcy Code.

12

 

Repurchase Notices. Counterparty shall, on any day on which Counterparty effects any
repurchase of Shares, provide Deutsche with a written notice of such repurchase (a
“Repurchase Notice”) on such day if, following such repurchase, the Unit Equity
Percentage as determined on such day is (a) equal to or greater than 4.5% and (b)
greater by 0.5% or more than the Unit Equity Percentage included in the immediately
preceding Repurchase Notice (or, in the case of the first such Repurchase Notice,
greater by 0.5% or more than the Unit Equity Percentage as of the date hereof). The
“Unit Equity Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (i)
the numerator of which is the product of the Applicable Percentage, the number of Note
Hedging Units and the Note Hedging Unit Entitlement, and (ii) the denominator of which
is the number of Shares outstanding on such day. Counterparty agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless Deutsche and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors,
employees, advisors, agents and controlling persons (each, a “Section 16 Indemnified
Person”) from and against any and all losses (including losses relating to Deutsche’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
the Transaction), claims, damages, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including
reasonable attorney’s fees), joint or several, to which a Section 16 Indemnified Person
may become subject, as a result of Counterparty’s failure to provide Deutsche with a
Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this paragraph, and to
reimburse, upon written request, each of such Section 16 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 Section 16
Indemnified Person, such Section 16 Indemnified Person shall promptly notify
Counterparty in writing, and Counterparty, upon request of the Section 16 Indemnified
Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Section 16 Indemnified
Person to represent the Section 16 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 be relieved from liability to the
extent that the Section 16 Indemnified Person fails promptly to notify Counterparty of
any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder;
provided that failure to notify Counterparty (x) shall not relieve Counterparty from
any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result
thereof and (y) shall not, in any event, relieve Counterparty from any liability that
it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. Counterparty 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, Counterparty agrees to indemnify any Section 16 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 Section 16 Indemnified Person,
effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any
Section 16 Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have
been sought hereunder by such Section 16 Indemnified Person, unless such settlement
includes an unconditional release of such Section 16 Indemnified Person from all
liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding on terms reasonably
satisfactory to such Section 16 Indemnified Person. If the indemnification provided
for in this paragraph is unavailable to a Section 16 Indemnified Person or insufficient
in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then
Counterparty, in lieu of indemnifying such Section 16 Indemnified Person thereunder,
shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Section 16 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 that may
otherwise be available to any Section 16 Indemnified Person at law or in equity. The
indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this paragraph shall remain
operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of the
Transaction.

Alternative Calculations and Deutsche Payment on Early Termination and on Certain
Extraordinary Events. If Deutsche owes Counterparty any amount in connection with the
Transaction pursuant to Sections 12.2, 12.3 (and “Consequences of Merger Events”
above), 12.6, 12.7 or 12.9 of the Equity Definitions (except in the case of an
Extraordinary Event in which the consideration or proceeds to be paid to holders of
Shares as a result of such event consists solely of cash) or pursuant to Section
6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (except in the case of an Event of Default in which
Counterparty is the Defaulting Party or a Termination Event in which Counterparty is
the Affected Party, other than (x) an Event of Default of the type described in Section
5(a)(iii), (v), (vi) or (vii) of the Agreement or (y) a Termination Event of the type
described in Section 5(b)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) or (vi) of

13

 

the Agreement that in
the case of either (x) or (y) resulted from an event or events outside Counterparty’s
control) (a “Deutsche Payment Obligation”), Counterparty shall have the right, in its
sole discretion, to require Deutsche to satisfy any such Deutsche Payment Obligation by
delivery of Termination Delivery Units (as defined below) by giving irrevocable
telephonic notice to Deutsche, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day,
between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. New York time on the Early Termination
Date or other date the transaction is terminated, as applicable (“Notice of Deutsche
Termination Delivery”). Within a commercially reasonable period of time following
receipt of a Notice of Deutsche Termination Delivery, Deutsche shall deliver to
Counterparty a number of Termination Delivery Units having a cash value equal to the
amount of such Deutsche Payment Obligation (such number of Termination Delivery Units
to be delivered to be determined by the Calculation Agent as the number of whole
Termination Delivery Units that could be purchased over a commercially reasonable
period of time with the cash equivalent of such payment obligation). If the provisions
set forth in this paragraph are applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.10,
9.11 (modified as described above) and 9.12 of the Equity Definitions shall be
applicable, except that all references to “Shares” shall be read as references to
“Termination Delivery Units”.

“Termination Delivery Unit” means (a) in the case of a Termination Event, an Event of
Default or an Extraordinary Event (other than an Insolvency, Nationalization or Merger
Event), one Share or (b) in the case of an Insolvency, Nationalization 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 Insolvency,
Nationalization or Merger Event. If a Termination Delivery Unit consists of property
other than cash or New Shares and Counterparty provides irrevocable written notice to
the Calculation Agent on or prior to the Closing Date that it elects to receive cash,
New Shares or a combination thereof (in such proportion as Counterparty designates) in
lieu of such other property, the Calculation Agent shall replace such property with
cash, New Shares or a combination thereof as components of a Termination Delivery Unit
in such amounts, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its discretion by
commercially reasonable means, as shall have a value equal to the value of the property
so replaced. If such Insolvency, Nationalization 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.

Rule 10b-18. Except as disclosed to Deutsche in writing prior to the date on which the
offering of the Convertible Notes was first announced, Counterparty represents and
warrants to Deutsche that it has not made any purchases of blocks by or for itself or
any of its Affiliated Purchasers pursuant to the one block purchase per week exception
in Rule 10b-18(b)(4) under the Exchange Act during each of the four calendar weeks
preceding, and during the week of, such date (“Rule 10b-18 purchase,” “blocks” and
“Affiliated Purchaser” each as defined in Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act).
Counterparty agrees and acknowledges that it shall not, and shall cause its affiliates
and Affiliated Purchasers not to, directly or indirectly (including by means of a
derivative instrument) enter into any transaction to purchase any Shares during the
period beginning on such date and ending on the day on which Deutsche has informed
Counterparty in writing that it has completed all purchases of Shares or other
transactions to hedge initially its exposure to the Transaction.

Regulation M. Counterparty was not on the date on which the offering of the
Convertible Notes was first announced, has not since such date, and is not on the date
hereof, engaged in a distribution, as such term is used in Regulation M under the
Exchange Act, of any securities of Counterparty, other than a distribution meeting the
requirements of the exception set forth in Sections 101(b)(10) and 102(b)(7) of
Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Counterparty shall not, until the day on which
Deutsche has informed Counterparty in writing that it has completed all purchases of
Shares or other transactions to hedge initially its exposure to the Transaction, engage
in any such distribution.

No Material Non-Public Information. On each day during the period beginning on the
date on which the offering of the Convertible Notes was first announced and ending on
the day on which Deutsche has informed Counterparty in writing that Deutsche has
completed all purchases of Shares or other transactions to hedge initially its exposure
with respect to the Transaction, Counterparty represents and warrants to Deutsche that
it is not aware of any material nonpublic information concerning itself or the Shares.

Right to Extend. Deutsche may postpone any potential Exercise Date or postpone or
extend any other date of

14

 

valuation or delivery with respect to some or all of the
relevant Note Hedging Units (in which event the Calculation Agent shall make
appropriate adjustments to the Settlement Amount for such Note Hedging Units), if
Deutsche determines, in its reasonable discretion, that (a) a Regulatory Disruption has
occurred or (b) such extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate to (i) preserve
Deutsche’s hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity
conditions or (ii) enable Deutsche to effect purchases of Shares in connection with its
hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if
Deutsche were the Issuer or an affiliated purchaser of the Issuer, be in compliance
with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related
policies and procedures applicable to Deutsche. “Regulatory Disruption” shall mean any
event that Deutsche, in its commercially reasonable discretion upon the advice of
outside counsel, determines makes it appropriate with regard to any legal, regulatory
or self-regulatory requirements or related policies and procedures (whether or not such
requirements, policies or procedures are imposed by law or have been voluntarily
adopted by Deutsche, and including without limitation Rule 10b-18, Rule 10b-5,
Regulation 13D-G and Regulation 14E under the Exchange Act and Regulation M and/or
analyzing Deutsche as if it were the Issuer or an affiliated purchaser of the Issuer),
for Deutsche to refrain from or decrease any market activity in connection with the
Transaction.

Transfer or Assignment. Counterparty may not transfer any of its rights or obligations
under the Transaction without the prior written consent of Deutsche. Deutsche may
transfer or assign all or a portion of its Note Hedging Units hereunder at any time to
any third party with a rating (or whose guarantor has a rating) for its long term,
unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of A+ or better by Standard & Poor’s Ratings
Services or its successor (“S&P”), or A1 or better by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.
or its successor (“Moody’s”) or, if either S&P or Moody’s ceases to rate such debt, at
least an equivalent rating or better by a substitute agency rating mutually agreed by
Counterparty and Deutsche, without the consent of Counterparty.

If, as determined in Deutsche’s sole discretion, (a) at any time (1) the Equity
Percentage exceeds 8.0%, (2) Deutsche, Deutsche Group (as defined below) or any person
whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Deutsche or Deutsche Group
(Deutsche, Deutsche Group or any such person, a “Deutsche Person”) under Sections 3-701
to 3-709 of the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act or other federal, state or local
laws, regulations or regulatory orders applicable to ownership of Shares (“Applicable
Laws”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote
or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership, or could be reasonably viewed as
meeting any of the foregoing, in excess of a number of Shares equal to (x) the number
of Shares that would give rise to reporting, registration, filing or notification
obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval by a state or
federal regulator) of a Deutsche Person under Applicable Laws and with respect to which
such requirements have not been met or the relevant approval has not been received
minus (y) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding on the date of determination or (3)
the number of “control shares” (as such term is used in Section 3-701(d) of the
Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act) owned by a Deutsche Person divided by the
number of Counterparty’s outstanding Shares (the “Control Share Percentage”) exceeds
8.0% (each of such conditions described in clause (1), (2) or (3), an “Excess Ownership
Position”), and (b) Deutsche is unable, after commercially reasonable efforts, to
effect a transfer or assignment on pricing and terms and within a time period
reasonably acceptable to it of all or a portion of this Transaction pursuant to the
preceding paragraph such that an Excess Ownership Position no longer exists, Deutsche
may designate any Scheduled Trading Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a
portion (the “Terminated Portion”) of this Transaction, such that an Excess Ownership
Position no longer exists following such partial termination. In the event that
Deutsche so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of this
Transaction, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (i)
an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms
identical to this Transaction and a Number of Note Hedging Units equal to the
Terminated Portion, (ii) Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to
such partial termination and (iii) such Transaction shall be the only Terminated
Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions set forth under the
caption “Alternative Calculations and Deutsche Payment on Early Termination and on
Certain Extraordinary Events” shall apply to any amount that is payable by Deutsche to
Counterparty pursuant to this sentence). The “Equity Percentage” as of any day is the
fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares
that Deutsche and any of its affiliates subject to aggregation with Deutsche for
purposes of the “beneficial ownership” test under Section 13 of the Exchange Act and
all persons who may form a “group” (within the meaning of
Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the
Exchange Act) with Deutsche (collectively, “Deutsche Group”) “beneficially own” (within
the meaning of

15

 

Section 13 of the Exchange Act) without duplication on such day and (B)
the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or
allowing Deutsche to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any shares or other securities
to or from Counterparty, Deutsche may designate any of its affiliates to purchase,
sell, receive or deliver such shares or other securities and otherwise to perform
Deutsche’s obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume
such obligations. Deutsche shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to
the extent of any such performance.

Severability; Illegality. If compliance by either party with any provision of the
Transaction would be unenforceable or illegal, (a) the parties shall negotiate in good
faith to resolve such unenforceability or illegality in a manner that preserves the
economic benefits of the transactions contemplated hereby and (b) the other provisions
of the Transaction shall not be invalidated, but shall remain in full force and effect.

Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION
OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THE TRANSACTION. EACH PARTY (I) CERTIFIES THAT NO
REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR
OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF SUCH A SUIT, ACTION OR
PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE
OTHER PARTY HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THE TRANSACTION, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG
OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS PROVIDED HEREIN.

Early Unwind. In the event the sale of Convertible Notes is not consummated with the
initial purchasers thereof for any reason by the close of business in New York on
November 16, 2009 (or such later date as agreed upon by the parties) (November 16, 2009
or such later date as agreed upon being the “Early Unwind Date”), the Transaction shall
automatically terminate (the “Early Unwind”) on the Early Unwind Date and (a) the
Transaction and all of the respective rights and obligations of Deutsche and
Counterparty under the Transaction shall be cancelled and terminated and (b) each party
shall be released and discharged by the other party from and agrees not to make any
claim against the other party with respect to any obligations or liabilities of the
other party arising out of and to be performed in connection with the Transaction
either prior to or after the Early Unwind Date; provided that Counterparty shall
purchase from Deutsche on the Early Unwind Date all Shares purchased by Deutsche or one
or more of its affiliates, and assume, or reimburse the cost of, derivatives and other
hedging activities entered into by Deutsche or one or more of its affiliates, in each
case, in connection with hedging of the Transaction and the unwind of such hedging
activities. The amount payable by Counterparty in cash or, as described in the
following sentence, in Shares, shall be Deutsche’s (or its affiliates) actual cost of
such Shares and unwind cost of such derivatives and other hedging activities as
Deutsche informs Counterparty and shall be paid in immediately available funds on the
Early Unwind Date. Counterparty may satisfy its reimbursement obligation in cash or
Shares, with the number of registered or unregistered Shares to be delivered to be
determined by the Calculation Agent as the number of whole Shares that could be sold by
Counterparty over a commercially reasonable period of time with the cash equivalent of
such payment obligation; and provided that, to the extent that such Shares cannot be
sold in the public market without registration under the Securities Act, such Shares
shall be subject to the provisions under “Disposition of Hedge Shares” above, to be
applied to such Shares. Deutsche and Counterparty represent and acknowledge to the
other that, subject to the proviso included in the preceding sentence, upon an Early
Unwind, all obligations with respect to the Transaction shall be deemed fully and
finally discharged.

Payment by Counterparty. In the event that (i) an Early Termination Date occurs or is
designated with respect to the Transaction as a result of a Termination Event or an
Event of Default (other than an Event of Default arising under Section 5(a)(ii) or
5(a)(iv) of the Agreement) and, as a result, Counterparty owes to Dealer pursuant to
Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement an amount calculated under Section 6(e) of the
Agreement, or (ii) Counterparty owes to Dealer, pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section
12.9 of the Equity Definitions (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any amount
payable in connection with an Extraordinary Event), an amount calculated under Section
12.8 of the Equity Definitions, such amount shall be deemed to be zero.

	SUBJECT:

	 	Equity Derivatives Note Hedge Confirmation
	 
	 	 
	REFERENCE NUMBER(S):

	 	[      ]

The purpose of this facsimile agreement (this “Confirmation”) is to confirm the terms and
conditions of the transaction entered into between Société Générale (“Société Générale”) and
TeleCommunication Systems, Inc. (“Counterparty”) on the Trade Date specified below (the
“Transaction”). This Confirmation constitutes a “Confirmation” as referred to in the ISDA Master
Agreement specified below. This Confirmation constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of
the parties with respect to the subject matter and terms of the Transaction and supersedes all
prior or contemporaneous written and oral communications with respect thereto.

The definitions contained in the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “Equity
Definitions”), as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc., are
incorporated into this Confirmation. In the event of any inconsistency between the Equity
Definitions and the terms of this Confirmation, the terms of this Confirmation shall govern. For
the purposes of the Equity Definitions, each reference herein to a Note Hedging Unit shall be
deemed to be a reference to a Call or an Option, as context requires.

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

The Transaction shall be considered a Share Option Transaction for purposes of the Equity
Definitions, and shall have the following terms:

or supplemented from time to time, but only if such amendment,
modification or supplement is consented to by Société Générale in

Definitions, in order to exercise any Note Hedging Units,
Counterparty must notify Société Générale in writing (and use
reasonable efforts to confirm receipt by telephone to Société
Générale (telephone: 212-278-5187)) prior to 5:00 PM, New York
City time, on the day that is two Scheduled Trading Days prior to
the first day of the Settlement Averaging Period for the Note
Hedging Units being exercised (the “Notice Deadline”) of (i) the
number of Note Hedging Units being exercised on such Exercise Date
and (ii) the scheduled settlement date under the Indenture for the
Convertible Notes converted on the Conversion Date corresponding
to such Exercise Date; provided that in respect of Convertible
Notes with a Conversion Date occurring on or after the Aggregate
Conversion Date, the Notice Deadline shall be 5:00 PM, New York
City time, on the second “Scheduled Trading Day” (as defined in
the Indenture) immediately preceding the “Maturity Date” (as
defined in the Indenture).

	 
	 	 	 	 
	Settlement Terms:
	 	 	 	 
	 
	 	 	 	 
	Net Share Settlement:

	 	In lieu of the obligations set forth in Sections 8.1 and 9.1 of
the Equity Definitions, and subject to “Notice of Exercise” above,
in respect of any Exercise Date occurring on a Conversion Date,
Société Générale shall deliver to Counterparty, on the related
Settlement Date, the Settlement Amount. For the avoidance of
doubt, to the extent Société Générale is obligated to deliver
Shares hereunder, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.10, 9.11
and 9.12 of the Equity Definitions shall be applicable to any such
delivery of Shares, except that all references in such provisions
to “Physical Settlement” and “Physically-settled” shall be read as
references to “Net Share Settlement” and “Net Share Settled”; and
provided that the Representation and Agreement contained in
Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions shall be modified by
excluding any

3

 

	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	representations therein relating to restrictions,
obligations, limitations or requirements under applicable
securities laws as a result of the fact that Counterparty is the
issuer of the Shares.

	 
	 	 	 	 
	Settlement Amount:

	 	The product of the Applicable Percentage and a number of Shares
equal to the Net Shares. In no event will the Net Shares be less
than zero.

	 
	 	 	 	 
	Net Shares:

	 	In respect of any Note Hedging Unit exercised or deemed exercised,
a number of Shares equal to (A) the sum of the quotients, for each
Valid Day during the Settlement Averaging Period for such Note
Hedging Unit, of (x) the Note Hedging Unit Entitlement on such
Valid Day multiplied by (y) the Relevant Price on such Valid Day
less the Strike Price, divided by (z) such Relevant Price, divided
by (B) the number of Valid Days in the Settlement Averaging
Period; provided that in no event shall the Net Shares for any
Note Hedging Unit exceed a number of Shares equal to the
Applicable Limit for such Note Hedging Unit divided by the
Relevant Price on the last Valid Day of the Settlement Averaging
Period (or if such Note Hedging Unit relates to a Convertible Note
with a Conversion Date occurring on or after the Aggregate
Conversion Date, the Relevant Price on the second Scheduled Valid
Day immediately preceding the Expiration Date); provided further
that if the calculation contained in clause (y) above results in a
negative number, such number shall be replaced with the number
“zero”. For the avoidance of doubt, such obligation shall be
determined excluding any Shares or cash that Counterparty is
obligated to deliver to holder(s) of the Convertible Notes as a
result of any adjustments to the “Conversion Rate” for issuance of
additional Shares or cash as set forth in Section 4.02 of the
Indenture (a “Fundamental Change Adjustment”) or any voluntary
adjustment pursuant to Sections 5.08 and 5.09 of the Indenture (a
“Discretionary Adjustment”).

	 
	 	 	 	 
	 
	 	Société Générale will deliver cash in lieu of any fractional
Shares to be delivered with respect to any Net Shares, valued at
the Relevant Price for the last Valid Day of the Settlement
Averaging Period.

	 
	 	 	 	 
	Applicable Limit:

	 	For any Note Hedging Unit, an amount of cash equal to the
Applicable Percentage multiplied by the excess of (i) the number
of Shares delivered to the Holder (as such term is defined in the
Indenture) of the related Convertible Note upon conversion of such
Convertible Note multiplied by the Relevant Price on the date
provided by Counterparty to Dealer pursuant to clause (ii) of
“Notice of Exercise,” or if such Note Hedging Unit relates to a
Convertible Note with a Conversion Date occurring on or after the
Aggregate Conversion Date, the Relevant Price on the second
Scheduled Valid Day immediately preceding the Expiration Date,
over (ii) USD 1,000.

	 
	 	 	 	 
	Valid Day:

	 	A day on which (i) there is no Market Disruption Event and (ii)
trading in the Shares generally occurs on the Exchange or, if the
Shares are not then listed on the Exchange, on the primary other
United States national or regional securities exchange on which
the Shares are listed or

4

 

	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	admitted for trading or, if the Shares
are not then listed or admitted for trading on a United States
national or regional securities exchange, on the principal other
market on which the Shares are then traded. If the Shares are not
so listed or admitted for trading, “Valid Day” means a Business
Day.

	 
	 	 	 	 
	Scheduled Valid Day:

	 	A day that is scheduled to be a Valid Day on the principal United
States national or regional securities exchange or market on which
the Shares are listed or admitted for trading. If the Shares are
not so listed or admitted for trading, “Scheduled Valid Day” means
a Business Day.

	 
	 	 	 	 
	Business Day:

	 	Any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York is authorized or required by law
or executive order to close or be closed.

	 
	 	 	 	 
	Relevant Price:

	 	On any Valid Day, the per Share volume-weighted average price as
displayed under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP” on Bloomberg page
TSYS <equity> AQR (or any successor thereto) in respect of
the period from the scheduled opening time of the Exchange to the
Scheduled Closing Time of the Exchange on such Valid Day (or if
such volume-weighted average price is unavailable, the market
value of one Share on such Valid Day, as determined by the
Calculation Agent using a substantially similar volume-weighted
method). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Valid Day is a
Disrupted Day and the Calculation Agent determines that such
Disrupted Day shall be a Valid Day in part in respect of a number
of Net Shares, then the Relevant Price for such Valid Day and such
number of Net Shares shall be the volume-weighted average price
per Share on such Valid Day 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 Valid
Day and such number of Net Shares for which the Calculation Agent
determines there is no Market Disruption Event, and the
Calculation Agent shall make corresponding adjustments to the
settlement terms hereunder to account for such partial Valid Day.

	 
	 	 	 	 
	Settlement Averaging Period:

	 	For any Note Hedging Unit:

	 
	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	      (i) If Counterparty has, on or prior to the Aggregate Conversion
Date, delivered a Notice of Exercise to Dealer with respect to
such Note Hedging Unit with a Conversion Date occurring prior to
the Aggregate Conversion Date, the 40 consecutive Valid Days
commencing on and including the second Scheduled Valid Day
following such Conversion Date; or

	 
	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	     (ii) if Counterparty has, on or following the Aggregate Conversion
Date, delivered a Notice of Exercise to Dealer with respect to
such Note Hedging Unit with a Conversion Date occurring on or
following the Aggregate Conversion Date, the 40 consecutive Valid
Days commencing on, and including, the 42nd Scheduled Valid Day
immediately prior to the Expiration Date.

5

 

	 	 	 	 	 
	Settlement Date:

	 	For any Note Hedging Unit, the third Business Day immediately
following the final Valid Day of the Settlement Averaging Period
for such Note Hedging Unit.

	 
	 	 	 	 
	Settlement Currency:

	 	USD.

	 
	 	 	 	 
	Restricted Certificated Shares:

	 	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Equity
Definitions, Société Générale may, in whole or in part, deliver
Shares in certificated form representing the Share portion of the
Settlement Amount to Counterparty in lieu of delivery through the
Clearance System.

	 
	 	 	 	 
	Share Adjustments:
	 	 	 	 
	 
	 	 	 	 
	Potential Adjustment Events:

	 	Notwithstanding Section 11.2(e) of the Equity Definitions, a
“Potential Adjustment Event” means any occurrence of any event or
condition, as set forth in Section 5.06 of the Indenture that
would result in an adjustment to the Conversion Rate of the
Convertible Notes; provided that in no event shall there be any
adjustment hereunder as a result of the Fundamental Change
Adjustment or Discretionary Adjustment provisions of the
Indenture.

	 
	 	 	 	 
	Method of Adjustment:

	 	Calculation Agent Adjustment, which means that, notwithstanding
Section 11.2(c) of the Equity Definitions, upon any adjustment to
the Conversion Rate of the Convertible Notes pursuant to the
Indenture (other than a Fundamental Change Adjustment or a
Discretionary Adjustment), the Calculation Agent shall make a
corresponding adjustment to any one or more of the Strike Price,
Number of Note Hedging Units, the Note Hedging Unit Entitlement
and any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement,
payment or other terms of the Transaction.

	 
	 	 	 	 
	Extraordinary Events:
	 	 	 	 
	 
	 	 	 	 
	Merger Events:

	 	Notwithstanding Section 12.1(b) of the Equity Definitions, a
“Merger Event” means only the occurrence of any event or condition
set forth in Section 5.11 of the Indenture.

	 
	 	 	 	 
	Notice of Merger Consideration:

	 	Upon the occurrence of a Merger Event that causes the Shares to be
converted into or exchanged for more than a single type of
consideration (determined based in part upon the form of election
of the holders of Shares), Counterparty shall promptly (but in any
event prior to the effective date of the Merger Event) notify the
Calculation Agent of the weighted average of the kind and amounts
of consideration to be received by the holders of Shares in any
Merger Event who affirmatively make such an election.

	 
	 	 	 	 
	Consequences of Merger Events:

	 	Notwithstanding Section 12.2 of the Equity Definitions, upon the
occurrence of a Merger Event, the Calculation Agent shall make the
corresponding adjustment in respect of any adjustment under the
Indenture to any one or more of the nature of the Shares, the
Strike Price, the Number of Note Hedging Units, the Note Hedging
Unit

6

 

	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	Entitlement and any other variable relevant to the exercise,
settlement, payment or other terms of the Transaction, to the
extent an analogous adjustment is made under the Indenture;
provided that such adjustment shall be made without regard to any
adjustment to the Conversion Rate for the issuance of additional
shares or cash pursuant to a Fundamental Change Adjustment or a
Discretionary Adjustment; and provided further that the
Calculation Agent may limit or alter any such adjustment
referenced in this paragraph so that the fair value of the
Transaction to Société Générale is not reduced as a result of such
adjustment.

	 
	 	 	 	 
	Nationalization, Insolvency and Delisting:

	 	Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination);
provided that in addition to the provisions of Section
12.6(a)(iii) of the Equity Definitions, it shall 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 Market (or their respective
successors); if the Shares are immediately re-listed, re-traded or
re-quoted on any such exchange or quotation system, such exchange
or quotation system shall be deemed to be the Exchange. For the
avoidance of doubt, the occurrence of any event that is a Merger
Event and would otherwise have been a Delisting will have the
consequence specified for the relevant Merger Event.

	 
	 	 	 	 
	Additional Disruption Events:
	 	 	 	 
	 
	 	 	 	 
	Change in Law:

	 	Applicable; provided that Section 12.9(a)(ii) of the Equity
Definitions is hereby amended (i) by the replacement of the word
“Shares” with “Hedge Positions” in clause (X) thereof; (ii) by
adding the phrase “or announcement” immediately after the phrase
“due to the promulgation” in the third line thereof and adding the
phrase “formal or informal” before the word “interpretation” in
the same line; and (iii) immediately following the word
“Transaction” in clause (X) thereof, adding the phrase “in the
manner contemplated by the Hedging Party on the Trade Date, unless
the illegality is due to an act or omission of the party seeking
to elect termination of the Transaction”.

elsewhere herein, Counterparty represents, warrants, acknowledges and covenants that:

	 	(i)	 	Counterparty is not as of the Trade Date, and shall not be after giving effect to the

U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code) (the “Bankruptcy Code”)) and

not be, an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act.
	 
	 	(ix)	 	Counterparty understands, agrees and acknowledges that no obligations of Société Générale
to it hereunder shall be entitled to the benefit of deposit insurance and that such obligations
shall not be guaranteed by any affiliate of Société Générale or any governmental agency.
	 
	 	(x)	 	(A) Counterparty is acting for its own account, and it has made its own independent
decisions to enter into the Transaction and as to whether the Transaction is appropriate or
proper for it based upon its own judgment and upon advice from such advisers as it has deemed
necessary, (B) Counterparty is not relying on any communication (written or oral) of Société
Générale or any of its affiliates as investment advice or as a recommendation to enter into the
Transaction (it being understood that information and explanations related to the terms and
conditions of the Transaction shall not be considered investment advice or a recommendation to
enter into the Transaction) and (C) no communication (written or oral) received from Société
Générale or any of its affiliates shall be deemed to be an assurance or guarantee as to the
expected results of the Transaction.
	 
	 	(xi)	 	Without limiting the generality of Section 13.1 of the Equity Definitions, Counterparty
acknowledges that Société Générale is not making any representations or warranties with respect
to the treatment of the Transaction under FASB Statements 128, 133, 149 or 150 (or under any
successor statement), EITF Issue No. 00-19, 01-6, 03-6 or 07-5 (or any successor issue
statements), under FASB’s Liabilities & Equity Project, or under any other accounting guidance.

	 	(xii)	 	Counterparty is not entering into the Transaction for the purpose of (i) creating actual
or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for
the Shares) or (ii) raising or depressing or otherwise manipulating the price of the Shares (or
any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares), in either case in violation of
the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
	 
	 	(xiii)	 	Counterparty’s filings under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, and other applicable
securities laws that are required to be filed have been filed and, as of the respective dates
thereof and as of the date of this representation, there is no misstatement of material fact
contained therein or omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading.
	 
	 	(xiv)	 	Counterparty has not violated, and shall not directly or indirectly violate, any
applicable law (including, without limitation, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) in
connection with the Transaction.
	 
	 	(xv)	 	The Transaction, and any repurchase of the Shares by Counterparty in connection with the
Transaction, is pursuant to a publicly announced Share repurchase program that has been approved
by Counterparty’s board of directors (including engaging in derivative transactions) and any
such repurchase has been, or shall when so required be, publicly disclosed in its periodic
filings under the Exchange Act and its financial statements and notes thereto.
	 
	 	(xvi)	 	Counterparty shall deliver to Société Générale an opinion of counsel, dated as of the
Trade Date and reasonably acceptable to Société Générale in form and substance, with respect to
the matters set forth in Section 3(a) of the Agreement and such other matters as Société
Générale may reasonably request.

Miscellaneous:

Netting and Set-Off. The parties hereto agree that the Transaction shall not be subject to
netting or set off with any other transaction.

Qualified Financial Contracts. It is the intention of the parties that, in respect of
Counterparty, (a) the Transaction shall constitute a “qualified financial contract” within the
meaning of 12 U.S.C. Section 1821(e)(8)(D)(i) and (b) a Non-defaulting Party’s rights under
Sections 5 and 6 of the Agreement constitute rights of the kind referred to in 12 U.S.C. Section
1821(e)(8)(A).

Method of Delivery. Whenever delivery of funds or other assets is required hereunder by or to
Counterparty, such delivery will be effected through Agent. In addition, all notices, demands
and communications of any kind relating to the Transaction between Société Générale and
Counterparty may be transmitted exclusively through Agent.

Staggered Settlement. Société Générale may, by notice to Counterparty prior to any Settlement
Date (a “Nominal Settlement Date”), elect to deliver the Shares deliverable on such Nominal
Settlement Date on two or more dates (each, a “Staggered Settlement Date”) or at two or more
times on the Nominal Settlement Date as follows: (i) in such notice, Société Générale will
specify to Counterparty the related Staggered Settlement Dates (each of which will be on or
prior to such Nominal Settlement Date or delivery times and how it will allocate the Shares it
is required to deliver under “Net Share Settlement” above among the Staggered Settlement Dates
or delivery times; and (ii) the aggregate number of Shares that Société
Générale will deliver to
Counterparty hereunder on all such Staggered Settlement Dates and delivery times will equal the
number of Shares that Société

10

 

Générale would otherwise be required to deliver on such Nominal
Settlement Date.

Additional Termination Events. The occurrence of (i) an “Event of Default” with respect to
Counterparty under the terms of the Convertible Notes as set forth in Section 9.01 of the
Indenture, (ii) an Amendment Event or (iii) a Repayment Event shall be an Additional Termination
Event, in each case with the Transaction as the sole Affected Transaction and Counterparty as
the sole Affected Party and Société Générale as the party entitled to designate an Early
Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(a) of the Agreement; provided that in the case of a
Repayment Event the Transaction shall be subject to termination only in respect of the portion
of the Transaction corresponding to the number of Convertible Notes subject to such Repayment
Event.

“Amendment Event” means that Counterparty amends, modifies, supplements or obtains a waiver with
respect to any term of the Indenture or the Convertible Notes if such amendment, modification,
supplement or waiver has an adverse effect on this Transaction or Société Générale’s ability to
hedge all or a portion of this Transaction, with such determination to be made in the sole
discretion of the Calculation Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, Counterparty electing to
increase the Conversion Rate pursuant to a Discretionary Adjustment shall not constitute an
Amendment Event.

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

Disposition of Hedge Shares. Counterparty hereby agrees that if, in the good faith reasonable
judgment of Société Générale, the Shares (the “Hedge Shares”) acquired by Société Générale for
the purpose of hedging its obligations pursuant to the Transaction cannot be sold in the public
market by Société Générale without registration under the Securities Act, Counterparty shall, at
its election: (i) in order to allow Société Générale to sell the Hedge Shares in a registered
offering, make available to Société Générale an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act to cover the resale of such Hedge Shares and (A) enter into an agreement, in form
and substance satisfactory to Société Générale, substantially in the form of an underwriting
agreement for a registered offering, (B) provide accountant’s “comfort” letters in customary
form for registered offerings of equity securities, (C) provide disclosure opinions of
nationally recognized outside counsel to Counterparty reasonably acceptable to Société Générale,
(D) provide other customary opinions, certificates and closing documents customary in form for
registered offerings of equity securities and (E) afford Société Générale a reasonable
opportunity to conduct a “due diligence” investigation with respect to Counterparty customary in
scope for underwritten offerings of equity securities; provided, however, that if Société
Générale, 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 Société Générale
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 of its size, in form and substance satisfactory to Société Générale,
including customary representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or
registrations, indemnities to Société Générale, due diligence rights (for Société Générale or
any designated buyer of the Hedge Shares from Société Générale), opinions and certificates and
such other documentation as is customary for private placements agreements of similar size, all
reasonably acceptable to Société Générale (in which case, the Calculation Agent shall make any
adjustments to the terms of the Transaction that are necessary, in its reasonable judgment, to
compensate Société Générale 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
Société Générale at the VWAP Price on such Exchange Business Days, and in the amounts, requested
by Société Générale. “VWAP Price” means, on any Exchange Business Day, the per

11

 

Share
volume-weighted average price as displayed under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP” on Bloomberg page
TSYS <equity> AQR (or any successor thereto) in respect of the period from 9:30 a.m. to
4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Exchange Business Day (or if such volume-weighted average
price is unavailable, the market value of one Share on such Exchange Business Day, as determined
by the Calculation Agent using a volume-weighted method). This paragraph shall survive the
termination, expiration or early unwind of the Transaction.

Limitation On Delivery of Shares. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Agreement to the
contrary, in no event shall Counterparty be required to deliver Shares in connection with the
Transaction in excess of 6,088,133 Shares (the “Maximum Delivery Amount”). Counterparty
represents and warrants (which shall be deemed to be repeated on each day that the Transaction
is outstanding) that the Maximum Delivery Amount is equal to or less than the number of
authorized but unissued Shares of Counterparty that are not reserved for future issuance in
connection with transactions in the Shares (other than the Transaction) on the date of the
determination of the Maximum Delivery Amount (such Shares, the “Available Shares”). In the
event Counterparty shall not have delivered the full number of Shares otherwise deliverable as a
result of this paragraph (the resulting deficit, the “Deficit Shares”), Counterparty shall be
continually obligated to deliver, from time to time until the full number of Deficit Shares have
been delivered pursuant to this paragraph, Shares when, and to the extent, that (i) Shares are
repurchased, acquired or otherwise received by Counterparty 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) Counterparty
additionally authorizes any unissued Shares that are not reserved for other transactions.
Counterparty shall immediately notify Société Générale 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 Shares to be delivered) and promptly deliver such Shares thereafter.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5(a)(ii) of the Agreement, in the event of a failure
by Counterparty to comply with the agreement set forth in this provision, there shall be no
grace period for remedy of such failure.

Status of Claims in Bankruptcy. Société Générale acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation
is not intended to convey to Société Générale rights with respect to the Transaction that are
senior to the claims of common stockholders in any U.S. bankruptcy proceedings of Counterparty;
provided that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Société Générale’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 Société Générale’s rights in respect of any transactions other than the
Transaction.

No Collateral. Notwithstanding any provision of this Confirmation, the Agreement, Equity
Definitions, or any other agreement between the parties to the contrary, the obligations of
Counterparty under the Transaction are not secured by any collateral.

Securities Contract; Swap Agreement. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that Société
Générale is a “financial institution,” “swap participant” and “financial participant” within the
meaning of Sections 101(22), 101(53C) and 101(22A) of the Bankruptcy Code. The parties hereto
further agree and acknowledge (A) that this Confirmation is (i) a “securities contract,” as such
term is defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code, with respect to which each payment and
delivery hereunder or in connection herewith is a “termination value,” “payment amount” or
“other transfer obligation” within the meaning of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and a
“settlement payment” or a “transfer” within the meaning of Section 546 of the Bankruptcy Code,
and (ii) a “swap agreement,” as such term is defined in Section 101(53B) of the Bankruptcy Code,
with respect to which each payment and delivery hereunder or in connection herewith is a
“termination value,” a “payment amount” or “other transfer obligation” within the meaning of
Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and a “transfer” within the meaning of Section 546 of the
Bankruptcy Code, and (B) that Société Générale is entitled to the protections afforded by, among
other sections, Section 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 362(b)(27), 362(o), 546(e), 546(g), 546(j),
548(d)(2), 555, 560 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Repurchase Notices. Counterparty shall, on any day on which Counterparty effects any repurchase
of Shares, provide Société Générale with a written notice of such repurchase (a “Repurchase
Notice”) on such day if, following such repurchase, the Unit Equity Percentage as determined on
such day is (a) equal to or greater than

12

 

4.5% and (b) greater by 0.5% or more than the Unit
Equity Percentage included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice (or, in the case of
the first such Repurchase Notice, greater by 0.5% or more than the Unit Equity Percentage as of
the date hereof). The “Unit Equity Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a
percentage, (i) the numerator of which is the product of the Applicable Percentage, the number
of Note Hedging Units and the Note Hedging Unit Entitlement, and (ii) the denominator of which
is the number of Shares outstanding on such day. Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless Société Générale and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors,
employees, advisors, agents and controlling persons (each, a “Section 16 Indemnified Person”)
from and against any and all losses (including losses relating to Société Générale’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 the Transaction), claims,
damages, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), joint or
several, to which a Section 16 Indemnified Person may become subject, as a result of
Counterparty’s failure to provide Société Générale with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in
the manner specified in this paragraph, and to reimburse, upon written request, each of such
Section 16 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 Section 16
Indemnified Person, such Section 16 Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Counterparty in
writing, and Counterparty, upon request of the Section 16 Indemnified Person, shall retain
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Section 16 Indemnified Person to represent the Section 16
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 be
relieved from liability to the extent that the Section 16 Indemnified Person fails promptly to
notify Counterparty of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be
sought hereunder; provided that failure to notify Counterparty (x) shall not relieve
Counterparty from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a
result thereof and (y) shall not, in any event, relieve Counterparty from any liability that it
may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. Counterparty 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, Counterparty agrees to
indemnify any Section 16 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
Section 16 Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in
respect of which any Section 16 Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity
could have been sought hereunder by such Section 16 Indemnified Person, unless such settlement
includes an unconditional release of such Section 16 Indemnified Person from all liability on
claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding on terms reasonably satisfactory to such
Section 16 Indemnified Person. If the indemnification provided for in this paragraph is
unavailable to a Section 16 Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims,
damages or liabilities referred to therein, then Counterparty, in lieu of indemnifying such
Section 16 Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
Section 16 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 that may otherwise be available to any Section 16 Indemnified Person at law or in
equity. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this paragraph shall remain
operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of the Transaction.

Alternative Calculations and Société Générale Payment on Early Termination and on Certain
Extraordinary Events. If Société Générale owes Counterparty any amount in connection with the
Transaction pursuant to Sections 12.2, 12.3 (and “Consequences of Merger Events” above), 12.6,
12.7 or 12.9 of the Equity Definitions (except in the case of an Extraordinary Event in which
the consideration or proceeds to be paid to holders of Shares as a result of such event consists
solely of cash) or pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (except in the case of an Event
of Default in which Counterparty is the Defaulting Party or a Termination Event in which
Counterparty is the Affected Party, other than (x) an Event of Default of the type described in
Section 5(a)(iii), (v), (vi) or (vii) of the Agreement or (y) a Termination Event of the type
described in Section 5(b)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) or (vi) of the Agreement that in the case
of either (x) or (y) resulted from an event or events outside Counterparty’s control) (a
“Société Générale Payment Obligation”), Counterparty shall have the right, in its sole
discretion, to require Société Générale to satisfy any such Société Générale Payment Obligation
by delivery of Termination Delivery Units (as defined below) by giving irrevocable telephonic
notice to Société Générale,

13

 

confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day, between the
hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. New York time on the Early Termination Date or other date the
transaction is terminated, as applicable (“Notice of Société Générale Termination Delivery”).
Within a commercially reasonable period of time following receipt of a Notice of Société
Générale Termination Delivery, Société Générale shall deliver to Counterparty a number of
Termination Delivery Units having a cash value equal to the amount of such Société Générale
Payment Obligation (such number of Termination Delivery Units to be delivered to be determined
by the Calculation Agent as the number of whole Termination Delivery Units that could be
purchased over a commercially reasonable period of time with the cash equivalent of such payment
obligation). If the provisions set forth in this paragraph are applicable, the provisions of
Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.10, 9.11 (modified as described above) and 9.12 of the Equity Definitions
shall be applicable, except that all references to “Shares” shall be read as references to
“Termination Delivery Units”.

“Termination Delivery Unit” means (a) in the case of a Termination Event, an Event of Default or
an Extraordinary Event (other than an Insolvency, Nationalization or Merger Event), one Share or
(b) in the case of an Insolvency, Nationalization 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 Insolvency, Nationalization or Merger Event. If a
Termination Delivery Unit consists of property other than cash or New Shares and Counterparty
provides irrevocable written notice to the Calculation Agent on or prior to the Closing Date
that it elects to receive cash, New Shares or a combination thereof (in such proportion as
Counterparty designates) in lieu of such other property, the Calculation Agent shall replace
such property with cash, New Shares or a combination thereof as components of a Termination
Delivery Unit in such amounts, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its discretion by
commercially reasonable means, as shall have a value equal to the value of the property so
replaced. If such Insolvency, Nationalization 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.

Rule 10b-18. Except as disclosed to Société Générale in writing prior to the date on which the
offering of the Convertible Notes was first announced, Counterparty represents and warrants to
Société Générale that it has not made any purchases of blocks by or for itself or any of its
Affiliated Purchasers pursuant to the one block purchase per week exception in Rule 10b-18(b)(4)
under the Exchange Act during each of the four calendar weeks preceding, and during the week of,
such date (“Rule 10b-18 purchase,” “blocks” and “Affiliated Purchaser” each as defined in Rule
10b-18 under the Exchange Act). Counterparty agrees and acknowledges that it shall not, and
shall cause its affiliates and Affiliated Purchasers not to, directly or indirectly (including
by means of a derivative instrument) enter into any transaction to purchase any Shares during
the period beginning on such date and ending on the day on which Société Générale has informed
Counterparty in writing that it has completed all purchases of Shares or other transactions to
hedge initially its exposure to the Transaction.

Regulation M. Counterparty was not on the date on which the offering of the Convertible Notes
was first announced, has not since such date, and is not on the date hereof, engaged in a
distribution, as such term is used in Regulation M under the Exchange Act, of any securities of
Counterparty, other than a distribution meeting the requirements of the exception set forth in
Sections 101(b)(10) and 102(b)(7) of Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Counterparty shall
not, until the day on which Société Générale has informed Counterparty in writing that it has
completed all purchases of Shares or other transactions to hedge initially its exposure to the
Transaction, engage in any such distribution.

No Material Non-Public Information. On each day during the period beginning on the date on
which the offering of the Convertible Notes was first announced and ending on the day on which
Société Générale has informed Counterparty in writing that Société Générale has completed all
purchases of Shares or other transactions to hedge initially its exposure with respect to the
Transaction, Counterparty represents and warrants to Société Générale that it is not aware of
any material nonpublic information concerning itself or the Shares.

Right to Extend. Société Générale may postpone any potential Exercise Date or postpone or
extend any other date of valuation or delivery with respect to some or all of the relevant Note
Hedging Units (in which event the Calculation Agent shall make appropriate adjustments to the
Settlement Amount for such Note Hedging Units), if Société Générale determines, in its
reasonable discretion, that (a) a Regulatory Disruption has occurred or (b)

14

 

such extension is
reasonably necessary or appropriate to (i) preserve Société Générale’s hedging or hedge unwind
activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions or (ii) enable Société Générale to
effect purchases of Shares in connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity
hereunder in a manner that would, if Société Générale were the Issuer or an affiliated purchaser
of the Issuer, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory
requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Société Générale.
“Regulatory Disruption” shall mean any event that Société Générale, in its commercially
reasonable discretion upon the advice of outside counsel, determines makes it appropriate with
regard to any legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements or related policies and
procedures (whether or not such requirements, policies or procedures are imposed by law or have
been voluntarily adopted by Société Générale, and including without limitation Rule 10b-18, Rule
10b-5, Regulation 13D-G and Regulation 14E under the Exchange Act and Regulation M and/or
analyzing Société Générale as if it were the Issuer or an affiliated purchaser of the Issuer),
for Société Générale to refrain from or decrease any market activity in connection with the
Transaction.

Transfer or Assignment. Counterparty may not transfer any of its rights or obligations under
the Transaction without the prior written consent of Société Générale. Société Générale may
transfer or assign all or a portion of its Note Hedging Units hereunder at any time to any third
party with a rating (or whose guarantor has a rating) for its long term, unsecured and
unsubordinated indebtedness of A+ or better by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services or its
successor (“S&P”), or A1 or better by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or its successor
(“Moody’s”) or, if either S&P or Moody’s ceases to rate such debt, at least an equivalent rating
or better by a substitute agency rating mutually agreed by Counterparty and Société Générale,
without the consent of Counterparty.

If, as determined in Société Générale’s sole discretion, (a) at any time (1) the Equity
Percentage exceeds 8.0%, (2) Société Générale, Société Générale Group (as defined below) or any
person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Société Générale or Société
Générale Group (Société Générale, Société Générale Group or any such person, a “Société Générale
Person”) under Sections 3-701 to 3-709 of the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act or other
federal, state or local laws, regulations or regulatory orders applicable to ownership of Shares
(“Applicable Laws”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to
vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership, or could be reasonably viewed as
meeting any of the foregoing, in excess of a number of Shares equal to (x) the number of Shares
that would give rise to reporting, registration, filing or notification obligations or other
requirements (including obtaining prior approval by a state or federal regulator) of a Société
Générale Person under Applicable Laws and with respect to which such requirements have not been
met or the relevant approval has not been received minus (y) 1% of the number of Shares
outstanding on the date of determination or (3) the number of “control shares” (as such term is
used in Section 3-701(d) of the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act) owned by a Société
Générale Person divided by the number of Counterparty’s outstanding Shares (the “Control Share
Percentage”) exceeds 8.0% (each of such conditions described in clause (1), (2) or (3), an
“Excess Ownership Position”), and (b) Société Générale is unable, after commercially reasonable
efforts, to effect a transfer or assignment on pricing and terms and within a time period
reasonably acceptable to it of all or a portion of this Transaction pursuant to the preceding
paragraph such that an Excess Ownership Position no longer exists, Société Générale may
designate any Scheduled Trading Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion (the
“Terminated Portion”) of this Transaction, such that an Excess Ownership Position no longer
exists following such partial termination. In the event that Société Générale so designates an
Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of this Transaction, a payment shall be made
pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (i) an Early Termination Date had been designated
in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to this Transaction and a Number of Note
Hedging Units equal to the Terminated Portion, (ii) Counterparty shall be the sole Affected
Party with respect to such partial termination and (iii) such Transaction shall be the only
Terminated Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions set forth under the
caption “Alternative Calculations and Société Générale Payment on Early Termination and on
Certain Extraordinary Events” shall apply to any amount that is payable by Société Générale to
Counterparty pursuant to this sentence). The “Equity Percentage” as of any day is the fraction,
expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Société
Générale and any of its affiliates subject to aggregation with Société Générale for purposes of
the “beneficial ownership” test under Section 13 of the Exchange Act and all persons who may
form a “group” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act) with Société
Générale (collectively, “Société Générale Group”) “beneficially own” (within the meaning of
Section 13 of the Exchange Act) without duplication on such day and (B) the denominator of which
is the number of Shares outstanding on such day.

15

 

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing
Société Générale to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any shares or other securities to or from
Counterparty, Société Générale may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or
deliver such shares or other securities and otherwise to perform Société Générale’s obligations
in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Société
Générale shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such
performance.

Severability; Illegality. If compliance by either party with any provision of the Transaction
would be unenforceable or illegal, (a) the parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such
unenforceability or illegality in a manner that preserves the economic benefits of the
transactions contemplated hereby and (b) the other provisions of the Transaction shall not be
invalidated, but shall remain in full force and effect.

Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW,
ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING
TO THE TRANSACTION. EACH PARTY (I) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE
OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE
EVENT OF SUCH A SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (II)
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTY HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THE TRANSACTION, AS
APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS PROVIDED HEREIN.

Early Unwind. In the event the sale of Convertible Notes is not consummated with the initial
purchasers thereof for any reason by the close of business in New York on November 16, 2009 (or
such later date as agreed upon by the parties) (November 16, 2009 or such later date as agreed
upon being the “Early Unwind Date”), the Transaction shall automatically terminate (the “Early
Unwind”) on the Early Unwind Date and (a) the Transaction and all of the respective rights and
obligations of Société Générale and Counterparty under the Transaction shall be cancelled and
terminated and (b) each party shall be released and discharged by the other party from and
agrees not to make any claim against the other party with respect to any obligations or
liabilities of the other party arising out of and to be performed in connection with the
Transaction either prior to or after the Early Unwind Date; provided that Counterparty shall
purchase from Société Générale on the Early Unwind Date all Shares purchased by Société Générale
or one or more of its affiliates, and assume, or reimburse the cost of, derivatives and other
hedging activities entered into by Société Générale or one or more of its affiliates, in each
case, in connection with hedging of the Transaction and the unwind of such hedging activities.
The amount payable by Counterparty in cash or, as described in the following sentence, in
Shares, shall be Société Générale’s (or its affiliates) actual cost of such Shares and unwind
cost of such derivatives and other hedging activities as Société Générale informs Counterparty
and shall be paid in immediately available funds on the Early Unwind Date. Counterparty may
satisfy its reimbursement obligation in cash or Shares, with the number of registered or
unregistered Shares to be delivered to be determined by the Calculation Agent as the number of
whole Shares that could be sold by Counterparty over a commercially reasonable period of time
with the cash equivalent of such payment obligation; and provided that, to the extent that such
Shares cannot be sold in the public market without registration under the Securities Act, such
Shares shall be subject to the provisions under “Disposition of Hedge Shares” above, to be
applied to such Shares. Société Générale and Counterparty represent and acknowledge to the other

obligations with respect to the Transaction shall be deemed fully and finally discharged.
