Re:                             Base Warrants

 

The purpose of this letter agreement (this “Confirmation”) is to confirm the terms and conditions of the Warrants issued by Cowen Group, Inc. (“Company”) to Nomura Global Financial Products Inc. (“Nomura”) as of the Trade Date specified below (the “Transaction”).  This letter agreement constitutes a “Confirmation” as referred to in the ISDA Master Agreement specified below.  This Confirmation shall replace any previous agreements and serve as the final documentation for the Transaction.

 

The definitions and provisions contained in the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “Equity Definitions”), as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”), are incorporated into this Confirmation. In the event of any inconsistency between the Equity Definitions and this Confirmation, this Confirmation shall govern.

 

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

 

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

 

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

Section 6.3(d) of the Equity Definitions   is hereby amended by deleting the remainder of the provision following the   words “Scheduled Closing Time” in the fourth line thereof.

On the relevant Settlement Date, Company shall   deliver to Nomura a number of Shares equal to the Share Delivery Quantity for   such Settlement Date to the account specified herein free of payment through   the Clearance System, and Nomura shall be treated as the holder of record of   such Shares at the time of delivery of such Shares or, if earlier, at   5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Settlement Date, and Company   shall pay to Nomura cash in lieu of any fractional Share based on the Settlement   Price on the relevant Valuation Date.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Share Delivery Quantity:

the relevant Exercise Date, (ii) the   Strike Price Differential for the relevant Valuation Date and (iii) the   Warrant Entitlement.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Settlement Price:

Notwithstanding the   foregoing, if (i) any Expiration Date is a Disrupted Day and   (ii) the Calculation Agent determines that such Expiration Date shall be   an Expiration Date for fewer than the Daily Number of Warrants, as described   above, then the Settlement Price for the relevant Valuation Date shall be the   volume-weighted average price per Share on such Valuation Date on the   Exchange, as determined by the Calculation Agent based on such sources as it   deems appropriate using a volume-weighted methodology, for the portion of   such Valuation Date for which the Calculation Agent determines there is no   Market Disruption Event.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Settlement Dates:

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

5

 

	
 
    	
 
    	
“Announcement Event   Adjustment Date”) in respect of each Warrant, the Calculation   Agent will determine the economic effect on such Warrant of the relevant   event (regardless of whether the Announcement Event actually results in a   Merger Event or Tender Offer, and taking into account such factors as the Calculation   Agent may determine, including, without limitation, changes in volatility,   expected dividends, stock loan rate or liquidity relevant to the Shares or   the Transaction whether prior to or after the Announcement Event or for any   period of time, including, without limitation, the period from the   Announcement Event to the relevant Announcement Event Adjustment Date). If   the Calculation Agent determines that such economic effect on any Warrant is   material, then on the Announcement Event Adjustment Date for such Warrant,   the Calculation Agent may make such adjustment to the exercise, settlement,   payment or any other terms of such Warrant as the Calculation Agent   determines appropriate to account for such economic effect, which adjustment   shall be effective immediately prior to the exercise, termination or   cancellation of such Warrant, as the case may be.

Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent   Determination); provided that,   in addition to the provisions of Section 12.6(a)(iii) of the Equity   Definitions, it will also constitute a Delisting if the Exchange is located   in the United States and the Shares are not immediately re-listed, re-traded   or re-quoted on any of the New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select   Market or The NASDAQ Global Market (or their respective successors); if the   Shares are 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), such exchange or quotation system   shall thereafter be deemed to be the Exchange.

8.                                      Representations and Warranties of Company.

 

Each of the representations and warranties of Company set forth in Section 3 of the Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated as of March 4, 2014, between Company and Nomura Securities International, Inc., as representative of the Initial Purchasers (the “Initial Purchasers”), are true and correct and are hereby deemed to be repeated to Nomura as if set forth herein. Company hereby further represents and warrants to Nomura on the date hereof, on and as of the Premium Payment Date and, in the case of the representations in Section 8(d), at all times until termination of the Transaction, that:

 

(a)                                 Company has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations in respect of the Transaction; such execution, delivery and performance have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on Company’s part; and this Confirmation has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Company and constitutes its valid and binding obligation, enforceable against Company in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) and except that rights to indemnification and contribution hereunder may be limited by federal or state securities laws or public policy relating thereto.

 

(b)                                 Neither the execution and delivery of this Confirmation nor the incurrence or performance of obligations of Company hereunder will conflict with or result in a breach of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or any equivalent documents) of Company, or any applicable law or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or agency, or any agreement or instrument to which Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which Company or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien under, any such agreement or instrument.

 

(c)                                  No consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or filing with, any governmental agency or body or any court is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by Company of this Confirmation, except such as have been obtained or made and such as may be required under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or state securities laws.

 

(d)                                 A number of Shares equal to the Maximum Number of Shares (as defined below) (the “Warrant Shares”) have been reserved for issuance by all required corporate action of Company. The Warrant Shares have been duly authorized and, when delivered against payment therefor (which may include Net Share Settlement in lieu of cash) and otherwise as contemplated by the terms of the Warrants following the exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Warrants, will be validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable, and the issuance of the Warrant Shares will not be subject to any preemptive or similar rights.

 

(e)                                  Company is not and, after consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, will not be required to register as an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

 

(f)                                   Company is an “eligible contract participant” (as such term is defined in Section 1a(18) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, other than a person that is an eligible contract participant under Section 1a(18)(C) of the Commodity Exchange Act).

 

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

 

9

 

(h)                                 [Reserved]

 

(i)                                     Company (A) is capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to all transactions and investment strategies involving a security or securities; (B) will exercise independent judgment in evaluating the recommendations of any broker-dealer or its associated persons, unless it has otherwise notified the broker-dealer in writing; and (C) has total assets of at least $50 million.

 

(j)                                    Company represents and warrants that it has received, read and understands the OTC Options Risk Disclosure Statement and a copy of the most recent disclosure pamphlet prepared by The Options Clearing Corporation entitled “Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options,” which is available at http://www.optionsclearing.com/about/publications/character-risks.jsp.

 

(k)                                 Prior to the Trade Date, Company has delivered to Nomura a resolution of Company’s board of directors authorizing the Transaction.

 

9.                                      Other Provisions.

 

(a)                                 Opinion; Incumbency Certificate. Company shall deliver to Nomura an incumbency certificate, dated as of the Closing Date, of Company in customary form. Company shall deliver to Nomura an opinion of counsel, dated as of the Closing Date, in a form reasonably satisfactory to Nomura. Delivery of such incumbency certificate and such opinion to Nomura shall be a condition precedent for the purpose of Section 2(a)(iii) of the Agreement with respect to each obligation of Nomura under Section 2(a)(i) of the Agreement.

 

(b)                                 Repurchase Notices. Company shall, on any day on which Company effects any repurchase of Shares, promptly give Nomura a written notice of such repurchase (a “Repurchase Notice”) on such day if following such repurchase, the number of outstanding Shares on such day, subject to any adjustments provided herein, is (i) less than 112.730 million (in the case of the first such notice) or (ii) thereafter more than 2.221 million less than the number of Shares included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice. Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Nomura and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, advisors, agents and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all losses (including losses relating to Nomura’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, which an Indemnified Person actually may become subject to, as a result of Company’s failure to provide Nomura with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this paragraph, and to reimburse, within 30 days, upon written request, each of such Indemnified Persons for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing for, providing testimony or other evidence in connection with or defending any of the foregoing. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against the Indemnified Person as a result of Company’s failure to provide Nomura with a Repurchase Notice in accordance with this paragraph, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Company in writing, and Company, upon request of the Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others Company may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, Company agrees to indemnify any Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding on terms reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person. If the indemnification provided for in this paragraph is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then Company under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying

 

10

 

such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities. The remedies provided for in this paragraph are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this paragraph shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of the Transaction.

 

(c)                                  Regulation M. Company is not on the Trade Date engaged in a distribution, as such term is used in Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), of any securities of Company, other than a distribution meeting the requirements of the exception set forth in Rules 101(b)(10) and 102(b)(7) of Regulation M. Company shall not, until the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date, engage in any such distribution.

 

(d)                                 No Manipulation. Company is not entering into the Transaction to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or otherwise in violation of the Exchange Act.

 

(e)                                  Transfer or Assignment. Company may not transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Transaction without the prior written consent of Nomura. Nomura may, without Company’s consent, but upon prior written notice, transfer or assign all or any part of its rights or obligations under the Transaction to any third party; provided that (i) under the applicable law effective on the date of such transfer or assignment, Company will not, as a result of such transfer or assignment, be required to pay the transferee on any payment date an amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement greater than an amount that Company would have been required to pay to Nomura in the absence of such transfer or assignment and (ii) no Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or Termination Event will occur as a result of such transfer or assignment. If at any time at which (A) the Section 16 Percentage exceeds 4.5%, (B) the Warrant Equity Percentage exceeds 14.5%, or (C) the Share Amount exceeds the Applicable Share Limit (if any applies) (any such condition described in clauses (A), (B) or (C), an “Excess Ownership Position”), Nomura is unable after using its commercially reasonable efforts to effect a transfer or assignment of Warrants to a third party on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to Nomura and within a time period reasonably acceptable to Nomura such that no Excess Ownership Position exists, then Nomura may designate any Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction (the “Terminated Portion”), such that following such partial termination no Excess Ownership Position exists. In the event that Nomura so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a Terminated Portion, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (1) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Transaction and a Number of Warrants equal to the number of Warrants underlying the Terminated Portion, (2) Company were the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (3) the Terminated Portion were the sole Affected Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 9(i) shall apply to any amount that is payable by Company to Nomura pursuant to this sentence as if Company was not the Affected Party). The “Section 16 Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, as determined by Nomura, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Nomura and each person subject to aggregation of Shares with Nomura under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder directly or indirectly beneficially own (as defined under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding. The “Warrant Equity Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the sum of (1) the product of the Number of Warrants and the Warrant Entitlement and (2) the aggregate number of Shares underlying any other warrants purchased by Nomura from Company, and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding. The “Share Amount” as of any day is the number of Shares that Nomura and any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Nomura (Nomura or any such person, a “Nomura Person”) under any law, rule, regulation, regulatory order or organizational documents or contracts of Company that are, in each case, applicable to ownership of Shares (“Applicable Restrictions”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Nomura in its sole discretion. The

 

11

 

“Applicable Share Limit” means a number of Shares equal to (A) the minimum number of Shares that could give rise to reporting or registration obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval from any person or entity) of a Nomura Person, or could result in an adverse effect on a Nomura Person, under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Nomura in its sole discretion, minus (B) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding.  Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Nomura to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities, or make or receive any payment in cash, to or from Company, Nomura may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities, or make or receive such payment in cash, and otherwise to perform Nomura’s obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations.  Nomura shall be discharged of its obligations to Company to the extent of any such performance.

 

(f)                                   Dividends.  If at any time during the period from and including the Effective Date, to and including the last Expiration Date, an ex-dividend date for a cash dividend occurs with respect to the Shares (an “Ex-Dividend Date”), then the Calculation Agent will adjust any of the Strike Price, Number of Warrants, Daily Number of Warrants and/or any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment of the Transaction to preserve the fair value of the Warrants to Nomura after taking into account such dividend.

 

(g)                                  Additional Provisions.

 

(i)                                     Amendments to the Equity Definitions:

 

(A)                               Section 11.2(a) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the words “a diluting or concentrative” and replacing them with the word “an”; and adding the phrase “or Warrants” at the end of the sentence.

 

(B)                               Section 11.2(c) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by (w) replacing the words “a diluting or concentrative” with “an” in the fifth line thereof, (x) adding the phrase “or Warrants” after the words “the relevant Shares” in the same sentence, (y) deleting the words “diluting or concentrative” in the sixth to last line thereof and (z) deleting the phrase “(provided that no adjustments will be made to account solely for changes in volatility, expected dividends, stock loan rate or liquidity relative to the relevant Shares)” and replacing it with the phrase “(and, for the avoidance of doubt, adjustments may be made to account solely for changes in volatility, expected dividends, stock loan rate or liquidity relative to the relevant Shares).”

 

(C)                               Section 11.2(e)(vii) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the words “a diluting or concentrative” and replacing them with the word “a material”; and adding the phrase “or Warrants” at the end of the sentence.

 

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

 

(E)                                Section 12.9(b)(iv) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by:

 

(x)                                 deleting (1) subsection (A) in its entirety, (2) the phrase “or (B)” following subsection (A) and (3) the phrase “in each case” in subsection (B); and

 

(y)                                 replacing the phrase “neither the Non-Hedging Party nor the Lending Party lends Shares” with the phrase “such Lending Party does not lend Shares” in the penultimate sentence.

 

(F)                                 Section 12.9(b)(v) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by:

 

12

 

	
(x)
    	
adding the word “or” immediately before subsection “(B)” and deleting the   comma at the end of subsection (A); and
    
	
 
    
	
(y)
    	
(1) deleting subsection (C) in its entirety, (2) deleting   the word “or” immediately preceding subsection (C), (3) deleting the penultimate   sentence in its entirety and replacing it with the sentence “The Hedging   Party will determine the Cancellation Amount payable by one party to the   other.” and (4) deleting clause (X) in the final sentence.
    
	
 
    
	
(ii)
    	
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, upon the   occurrence of one of the following events, with respect to the Transaction, (1) Nomura shall have the right   to designate such event an Additional Termination Event and designate an   Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement,   (2) Company shall be deemed the sole Affected Party with respect to such   Additional Termination Event and (3) the Transaction, or, at the   election of Nomura in its sole   discretion, any portion of the Transaction, shall be deemed the sole Affected   Transaction; provided   that if Nomura so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a   portion of the Transaction, (a) a payment shall be made pursuant to   Section 6 of the Agreement as if an Early Termination Date had been   designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the   Transaction and a Number of Warrants equal to the number of Warrants included   in the terminated portion of the Transaction, and (b) for the avoidance   of doubt, the Transaction shall remain in full force and effect except that   the Number of Warrants shall be reduced by the number of Warrants included in   such terminated portion:
    
	
 
    
	
(A)
    	
A “person” or “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d) of   the Exchange Act, other than Company, its subsidiaries and its and their   employee benefit plans, has become the direct or indirect “beneficial owner,”   as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, of the common equity of   Company representing more than 50% of the voting power of such common equity.

If (a) an Early Termination Date (whether as a   result of an Event of Default or a Termination Event) occurs or is designated   with respect to the Transaction or (b) the Transaction is cancelled or   terminated upon the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event (except as a result   of (i) a Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event in which the   consideration to be paid to holders of Shares consists solely of cash,   (ii) a Merger Event or Tender Offer that is within Company’s control, or   (iii) an Event of Default in which Company is the Defaulting Party or a   Termination Event in which Company is the Affected Party other than an Event   of Default of the type described in Section 5(a)(iii), (v), (vi),   (vii) or (viii) of the Agreement or a Termination Event of the type   described in Section 5(b) of the Agreement, in each case that   resulted from an event or events outside Company’s control), and if Company   would owe any amount to Nomura pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the   Agreement or any Cancellation Amount pursuant to Article 12 of the   Equity Definitions (any such amount, a “Payment   Obligation”), then Company shall satisfy the Payment Obligation by   the Share Termination Alternative (as defined below), unless (a) Company   gives irrevocable telephonic notice to Nomura, confirmed in writing within   one Scheduled Trading Day, no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York

Share Termination Alternative:
    	
If applicable, Company shall deliver to Nomura the   Share Termination Delivery Property on the date (the “Share   Termination Payment Date”) on which the Payment Obligation would   otherwise be due pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the   Equity Definitions or Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, as   applicable, subject to Section 9(j)(i) below, in satisfaction,   subject to Section 9(j)(ii) below, of the relevant Payment   Obligation, in the manner reasonably requested by Nomura free of payment.
    
	
 
    	
 
    
	
Share Termination Delivery Property:
    	
A number of Share Termination Delivery Units, as   calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the relevant Payment Obligation   divided by the Share Termination Unit   Price. The Calculation Agent shall adjust the amount of Share Termination   Delivery Property by replacing any fractional portion of a security therein   with an amount of cash equal to the value of such fractional security based   on the values used to calculate the Share Termination Unit Price (without   giving effect to any discount pursuant to Section 9(j)(i)).
    
	
 
    	
 
    
	
Share Termination Unit Price:
    	
The value to Nomura of property contained in one   Share Termination Delivery Unit on the date such Share Termination Delivery   Units are to be delivered as Share Termination Delivery Property, as   determined by the Calculation Agent in its discretion by commercially   reasonable means. In the case of a Private Placement of Share Termination   Delivery Units that are Restricted Shares (as defined below), as set forth in   Section 9(j)(i) below, the Share Termination Unit Price shall be   determined by the discounted price applicable to such Share Termination   Delivery Units. In the case of a Registration Settlement of Share Termination   Delivery Units that are Restricted Shares (as defined below) as set forth in   Section 9(j)(ii) below, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Share   Termination Unit Price shall be the Settlement Price on the Merger Date,   Tender Offer Date, Announcement Date (in the case of a   Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), Early Termination Date or   date of cancellation, as applicable. The Calculation Agent shall notify   Company of the Share Termination Unit Price at the time of notification of   such Payment Obligation to Company or, if applicable, at the time the   discounted price applicable to the relevant Share Termination Units is   determined pursuant to Section 9(j)(i).

Share Termination Delivery Unit:
    	
One Share or, if the Shares have changed into cash   or any other property or the right to receive cash or any other property as   the result of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event (any such   cash or other property, the “Exchange Property”),   a unit consisting of the type and amount of Exchange Property received by a   holder of one Share (without consideration of any requirement to pay cash or   other consideration in lieu of fractional amounts of any securities) in such   Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event.  If such Nationalization, Insolvency or   Merger Event involves a choice of Exchange Property to be received by   holders, such holder shall be deemed to have elected to receive the maximum   possible amount of cash.
    
	
 
    	
 
    
	
Failure to Deliver:
    	
Inapplicable

Registration/Private Placement Procedures. If, in the reasonable opinion of Nomura, following any delivery of   Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property to Nomura hereunder, such   Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property would be in the hands of Nomura   subject to any applicable restrictions with respect to any registration or   qualification requirement or prospectus delivery requirement for such Shares   or Share Termination Delivery Property pursuant to any applicable federal or   state securities law (including, without limitation, any such requirement   arising under Section 5 of the Securities Act) (such Shares or Share   Termination Delivery Property, “Restricted Shares”),   then delivery of such Restricted Shares shall be effected pursuant to either   clause (i) or (ii) below at the election of Company, unless Nomura   waives the need for registration/private placement procedures set forth in   (i) and (ii) below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely in respect   of any Daily Number of Warrants exercised or deemed exercised on any   Expiration Date, Company shall elect, prior to the first Settlement Date for   the first applicable Expiration Date, a Private Placement Settlement or   Registration Settlement for all deliveries of Restricted Shares for all such   Expiration Dates which election shall be applicable to all remaining   Settlement Dates for such Warrants and the procedures in clause (i) or   clause (ii) below shall apply for all such delivered Restricted Shares   on an aggregate basis commencing after the final Settlement Date for such   Warrants. The Calculation Agent shall make reasonable adjustments to   settlement terms and provisions under this Confirmation to reflect a single   Private Placement or Registration Settlement for such aggregate Restricted   Shares delivered hereunder.
    
	
 
    
	
(i)
    	
If Company elects to settle the Transaction pursuant   to this clause (i) (a “Private Placement   Settlement”), then delivery of Restricted Shares by Company shall   be effected in customary private placement procedures with respect to such   Restricted Shares reasonably acceptable to Nomura; provided   that Company may not elect a Private Placement Settlement if, on the date of   its election, it has taken, or caused to be taken, any action that would make   unavailable either the exemption pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the   Securities Act for the sale by Company to Nomura (or any affiliate designated   by Nomura) of the Restricted Shares or the exemption pursuant to   Section 4(a)(1) or Section 4(a)(3) of the Securities Act   for resales of the Restricted Shares by Nomura (or any such affiliate of   Nomura). The Private Placement Settlement of such Restricted Shares shall   include customary representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental   filings and/or registrations, indemnities to Nomura, due diligence rights   (for
    
				

 

16

 

	
 
    	
Nomura or any designated buyer of the Restricted   Shares by Nomura), opinions and certificates, and such other documentation as   is customary for private placement agreements, all reasonably acceptable to   Nomura. In the case of a Private Placement Settlement, Nomura shall determine   the appropriate discount to the Share Termination Unit Price (in the case of   settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to   Section 9(i) above) or any Settlement Price (in the case of   settlement of Shares pursuant to Section 2 above) applicable to such   Restricted Shares in a commercially reasonable manner and appropriately   adjust the number of such Restricted Shares to be delivered to Nomura   hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement or this   Confirmation, the date of delivery of such Restricted Shares shall be the   Exchange Business Day following notice by Nomura to Company, of such   applicable discount and the number of Restricted Shares to be delivered   pursuant to this clause (i). For the avoidance of doubt, delivery of   Restricted Shares shall be due as set forth in the previous sentence and not   be due on the Share Termination Payment Date (in the case of settlement of   Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to Section 9(i) above) or   on the Settlement Date for such Restricted Shares (in the case of settlement   in Shares pursuant to Section 2 above).
    
	
 
    	
 
    
	
(ii)
    	
If Company elects to settle the Transaction pursuant   to this clause (ii) (a “Registration Settlement”),   then Company shall promptly (but in any event no later than the beginning of   the Resale Period) file and use its reasonable best efforts to make effective   under the Securities Act a registration statement or supplement or amend an   outstanding registration statement in form and substance reasonably   satisfactory to Nomura, to cover the resale of such Restricted Shares in   accordance with customary resale registration procedures, including   covenants, conditions, representations, underwriting discounts (if   applicable), commissions (if applicable), indemnities, due diligence rights,   opinions and certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for   equity resale underwriting agreements, all reasonably acceptable to   Nomura.  If Nomura, in its sole   reasonable discretion, is not satisfied with such procedures and   documentation Private Placement Settlement shall apply.  If Nomura is satisfied with such procedures   and documentation, it shall sell the Restricted Shares pursuant to such   registration statement during a period (the “Resale   Period”) commencing on the Exchange Business Day following   delivery of such Restricted Shares (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall   be (x) the Share Termination Payment Date in case of settlement in Share   Termination Delivery Units pursuant to Section 9(i) above or (y) the   Settlement Date in respect of the final Expiration Date for all Daily Number   of Warrants) and ending on the Exchange Business Day on which Nomura   completes the sale of all Restricted Shares or, in the case of settlement of   Share Termination Delivery Units, a sufficient number of Restricted Shares so   that the realized net proceeds of such sales equals or exceeds the Payment Obligation   (as defined above).  If the Payment   Obligation exceeds the realized net proceeds from such resale, Company shall   transfer to Nomura by the open of the regular trading session on the Exchange   on the Exchange Trading Day immediately following such resale the amount of   such excess (the “Additional Amount”)   in cash or in a number of Shares (“Make-whole Shares”)   in an amount that, based on the Settlement Price on such day (as if such day   was the “Valuation Date” for purposes of computing such Settlement Price),   has a dollar value equal to the Additional Amount.  The Resale Period shall continue to enable   the sale of the Make-whole Shares.  If   Company elects to pay the Additional Amount in Shares, the requirements and   provisions for Registration Settlement shall apply.  This provision shall be applied   successively until the Additional Amount is equal to zero.  In no event shall Company deliver a number   of Restricted Shares greater than the Maximum Number of Shares.
    
	
 
    	
 
    
	
(iii)
    	
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,   Company agrees that (A) any Restricted Shares delivered to Nomura may be   transferred by and among Nomura and its affiliates and Company shall effect   such transfer without any further action by Nomura and (B) after the   period of 6 months from the Trade Date (or 1 year from the Trade Date if, at   such time, informational requirements of Rule 144(c) under the   Securities Act are not satisfied with respect to Company) has elapsed in   respect of any Restricted Shares delivered to Nomura, Company shall promptly   remove, or cause the transfer agent for such Restricted Shares to remove, any   legends referring to any such restrictions or requirements from such   Restricted Shares upon request by Nomura (or such affiliate of Nomura) to   Company or such transfer

agent, without any requirement for the delivery of   any certificate, consent, agreement, opinion of counsel, notice or any other   document, any transfer tax stamps or payment of any other amount or any other   action by Nomura (or such affiliate of Nomura). Notwithstanding anything to   the contrary herein, to the extent the provisions of Rule 144 of the   Securities Act or any successor rule are amended, or the applicable   interpretation thereof by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any court   change after the Trade Date, the agreements of Company herein shall be deemed   modified to the extent necessary, in the opinion of outside counsel of   Company, to comply with Rule 144 of the Securities Act, as in effect at   the time of delivery of the relevant Shares or Share Termination Delivery   Property.
    
	
 
    	
 
    
	
(iv)
    	
If the Private Placement Settlement or the   Registration Settlement shall not be effected as set forth in clauses (i) or   (ii), as applicable, then failure to effect such Private Placement Settlement   or such Registration Settlement shall constitute an Event of Default with   respect to which Company shall be the Defaulting Party.
    
	
 
    	
 
    
	
(k)
    	
Limit on Beneficial Ownership. Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, Nomura may not exercise any   Warrant hereunder or be entitled to take   delivery of any Shares deliverable hereunder, and Automatic Exercise shall not apply with   respect to any Warrant hereunder,   to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after such receipt of any Shares   upon the exercise of such Warrant or otherwise hereunder, (i) the   Section 16 Percentage would exceed 4.5%, or (ii) the Share Amount   would exceed the Applicable Share Limit. Any purported delivery hereunder   shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that,   after such delivery, (i) the Section 16 Percentage would exceed   4.5%, or (ii) the Share Amount would exceed the Applicable Share Limit.   If any delivery owed to Nomura hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as   a result of this provision, Company’s obligation to make such delivery shall   not be extinguished and Company shall make such delivery as promptly as   practicable after, but in no event later than one Business Day after, Nomura   gives notice to Company that, after such delivery, (i) the   Section 16 Percentage would not exceed 4.5%, and (ii) the Share   Amount would not exceed the Applicable Share Limit.
    
	
 
    	
 
    
	
(l)
    	
Share Deliveries. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Company agrees that   any delivery of Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property shall be   effected by book-entry transfer through the facilities of DTC, or any   successor depositary, if at the time of delivery, such class of Shares or   class of Share Termination Delivery Property is in book-entry form at DTC or   such successor depositary.
    
	
 
    
	
(m)
    	
Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,   any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any suit, action or   proceeding relating to 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.
    
	
 
    	
 
    
	
(n)
    	
Tax Disclosure. Effective from the date of commencement of discussions concerning the   Transaction, Company and each of its employees, representatives, or other   agents may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind,   the tax treatment and tax structure of the Transaction and all materials of   any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to   Company relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.
    
	
 
    	
 
    
	
(o)
    	
Maximum Share Delivery.
    
	
 
    	
 
    
	
(i)
    	
Notwithstanding any other provision of this   Confirmation, the Agreement or the Equity Definitions, in no event will   Company at any time be required to deliver a number of Shares greater than   two times the Number of Shares (the “Maximum Number of Shares”)   to Nomura in connection with the Transaction.
    
	
 
    	
 
    
	
(ii)
    	
In the event Company shall not have delivered to   Nomura the full number of Shares or Restricted Shares otherwise deliverable   by Company to Nomura pursuant to the terms of the Transaction because Company   has insufficient authorized but unissued Shares that are not reserved for   other transactions (such deficit, the “Deficit Shares”),   Company shall be
    
			

 

18

 

	
 
    	
continually obligated to deliver, from time to time,   Shares or Restricted Shares, as the case may be, to Nomura until the full   number of Deficit Shares have been delivered pursuant to this Section 9(o)(ii),   when, and to the extent that, (A) Shares are repurchased, acquired or   otherwise received by Company or any of its subsidiaries after the Trade Date   (whether or not in exchange for cash, fair value or any other consideration),   (B) authorized and unissued Shares previously reserved for issuance in   respect of other transactions become no longer so reserved or (C) Company   additionally authorizes any unissued Shares that are not reserved for other   transactions; provided that in no event shall   Company deliver any Shares or Restricted Shares to Nomura pursuant to this   Section 9(o)(ii) to the extent that such delivery would cause the   aggregate number of Shares and Restricted Shares delivered to Nomura to   exceed the Maximum Number of Shares.    Company shall immediately notify Nomura of the occurrence of any of   the foregoing events (including the number of Shares subject to clause (A),   (B) or (C) and the corresponding number of Shares or Restricted   Shares, as the case may be, to be delivered) and promptly deliver such Shares   or Restricted Shares, as the case may be, thereafter.
    
	
 
    	
 
    
	
(p)
    	
Right   to Extend.  Nomura may postpone or add, in whole or in   part, any Expiration Date or any other date of valuation or delivery with   respect to some or all of the relevant Warrants (in which event the   Calculation Agent shall make appropriate adjustments to the Daily Number of   Warrants with respect to one or more Expiration Dates) if Nomura determines,   in its commercially reasonable judgment, that such extension is reasonably   necessary or appropriate to preserve Nomura’s hedging or hedge unwind   activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions or to enable   Nomura to effect purchases of Shares in connection with its hedging, hedge   unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if Nomura   were Issuer or an affiliated purchaser of Issuer, be in compliance with   applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related   policies and procedures applicable to Nomura.
    
	
 
    	
 
    
	
(q)
    	
Status   of Claims in Bankruptcy.  Nomura acknowledges and agrees that this   Confirmation is not intended to convey to Nomura rights against Company with   respect to the Transaction that are senior to the claims of common   stockholders of Company in any United States bankruptcy proceedings of   Company; provided that nothing   herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Nomura’s right to pursue   remedies in the event of a breach by Company of its obligations and agreements   with respect to the Transaction; provided, further, that   nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Nomura’s rights in   respect of any transactions other than the Transaction.

Early Unwind.

The purpose of this letter agreement (this “Confirmation”) is to confirm the terms and conditions of the Warrants issued by Cowen Group, Inc. (“Company”) to Nomura Global Financial Products Inc.

This Confirmation shall replace any previous agreements and serve as the final documentation for the Transaction.

 

The definitions and provisions contained in the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “Equity Definitions”), as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”), are incorporated into this Confirmation. In the event of any inconsistency between the Equity Definitions and this Confirmation, this Confirmation shall govern.

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

 

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

Net Share Settlement.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Net Share Settlement:
    	
 
    	
On the relevant Settlement Date, Company shall   deliver to Nomura a number of Shares equal to the Share Delivery Quantity for   such Settlement Date to the account specified herein free of payment through   the Clearance System, and Nomura shall be treated as the holder of record of   such Shares at the time of delivery of such Shares or, if earlier, at   5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Settlement Date, and Company   shall pay to Nomura cash in lieu of any fractional Share based on the   Settlement Price on the relevant Valuation Date.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Share Delivery Quantity:
    	
 
    	
For any Settlement Date, a number of Shares, as   calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the Net Share Settlement Amount   for such Settlement Date divided by   the Settlement Price on the Valuation Date for such Settlement Date.

Notwithstanding the   foregoing, if (i) any Expiration Date is a Disrupted Day and   (ii) the Calculation Agent determines that such Expiration Date shall be   an Expiration Date for fewer than the Daily Number of Warrants, as described   above, then the Settlement Price for the relevant Valuation Date shall be the   volume-weighted average price per Share on such Valuation Date on the   Exchange, as determined by the Calculation Agent based on such sources as it   deems appropriate using a volume-weighted methodology, for the portion of   such Valuation Date for which the Calculation Agent determines there is no   Market Disruption Event.

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

If an Announcement Date occurs in respect of a   Merger Event (for the avoidance of doubt, determined without regard to the   language in the definition of “Merger Event” following the definition of   “Reverse Merger” therein) or Tender Offer (such occurrence, an “Announcement Event”), then on the earliest of the   Expiration Date, Early Termination Date or other date of cancellation (the
    

 

5

 

	
 
    	
 
    	
“Announcement Event   Adjustment Date”) in respect of each Warrant, the Calculation   Agent will determine the economic effect on such Warrant of the relevant   event (regardless of whether the Announcement Event actually results in a   Merger Event or Tender Offer, and taking into account such factors as the   Calculation Agent may determine, including, without limitation, changes in   volatility, expected dividends, stock loan rate or liquidity relevant to the   Shares or the Transaction whether prior to or after the Announcement Event or   for any period of time, including, without limitation, the period from the   Announcement Event to the relevant Announcement Event Adjustment Date). If   the Calculation Agent determines that such economic effect on any Warrant is   material, then on the Announcement Event Adjustment Date for such Warrant,   the Calculation Agent may make such adjustment to the exercise, settlement,   payment or any other terms of such Warrant as the Calculation Agent   determines appropriate to account for such economic effect, which adjustment   shall be effective immediately prior to the exercise, termination or   cancellation of such Warrant, as the case may be.

Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination); provided that, in addition to the   provisions of Section 12.6(a)(iii) of the Equity Definitions, it   will also constitute a Delisting if the Exchange is located in the United   States and the Shares are not immediately re-listed, re-traded or re-quoted   on any of the New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market or The   NASDAQ Global Market (or their respective successors); if the Shares are   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), such exchange or quotation system shall   thereafter be deemed to be the Exchange.

8.                                      Representations and Warranties of Company.

 

Each of the representations and warranties of Company set forth in Section 3 of the Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated as of March 4, 2014, between Company and Nomura Securities International, Inc., as representative of the Initial Purchasers (the “Initial Purchasers”), are true and correct and are hereby deemed to be repeated to Nomura as if set forth herein.  Company hereby further represents and warrants to Nomura on the date hereof, on and as of the Premium Payment Date and, in the case of the representations in Section 8(d), at all times until termination of the Transaction, that:

 

(a)                                 Company has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations in respect of the Transaction; such execution, delivery and performance have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on Company’s part; and this Confirmation has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Company and constitutes its valid and binding obligation, enforceable against Company in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) and except that rights to indemnification and contribution hereunder may be limited by federal or state securities laws or public policy relating thereto.

 

(b)                                 Neither the execution and delivery of this Confirmation nor the incurrence or performance of obligations of Company hereunder will conflict with or result in a breach of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or any equivalent documents) of Company, or any applicable law or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or agency, or any agreement or instrument to which Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which Company or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien under, any such agreement or instrument.

 

(c)                                  No consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or filing with, any governmental agency or body or any court is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by Company of this Confirmation, except such as have been obtained or made and such as may be required under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or state securities laws.

 

(d)                                 A number of Shares equal to the Maximum Number of Shares (as defined below) (the “Warrant Shares”) have been reserved for issuance by all required corporate action of Company.  The Warrant Shares have been duly authorized and, when delivered against payment therefor (which may include Net Share Settlement in lieu of cash) and otherwise as contemplated by the terms of the Warrants following the exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Warrants, will be validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable, and the issuance of the Warrant Shares will not be subject to any preemptive or similar rights.

 

(e)                                  Company is not and, after consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, will not be required to register as an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

 

(f)                                   Company is an “eligible contract participant” (as such term is defined in Section 1a(18) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, other than a person that is an eligible contract participant under Section 1a(18)(C) of the Commodity Exchange Act).

 

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

(i)                                     Company (A) is capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to all transactions and investment strategies involving a security or securities; (B) will exercise independent judgment in evaluating the recommendations of any broker-dealer or its associated persons, unless it has otherwise notified the broker-dealer in writing; and (C) has total assets of at least $50 million.

9.                                      Other Provisions.

 

(a)                                 Opinion; Incumbency Certificate.  Company shall deliver to Nomura an incumbency certificate, dated as of the Closing Date, of Company in customary form. Company shall deliver to Nomura an opinion of counsel, dated as of the Closing Date, in a form reasonably satisfactory to Nomura.  Delivery of such incumbency certificate and such opinion to Nomura shall be a condition precedent for the purpose of Section 2(a)(iii) of the Agreement with respect to each obligation of Nomura under Section 2(a)(i) of the Agreement.

 

(b)                                 Repurchase Notices.  Company shall, on any day on which Company effects any repurchase of Shares, promptly give Nomura a written notice of such repurchase (a “Repurchase Notice”) on such day if following such repurchase, the number of outstanding Shares on such day, subject to any adjustments provided herein, is (i) less than 112.730 million (in the case of the first such notice) or (ii) thereafter more than 2.221 million less than the number of Shares included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice.  Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Nomura and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, advisors, agents and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all losses (including losses relating to Nomura’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, which an Indemnified Person actually may become subject to, as a result of Company’s failure to provide Nomura with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this paragraph, and to reimburse, within 30 days, upon written request, each of such Indemnified Persons for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing for, providing testimony or other evidence in connection with or defending any of the foregoing.  If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against the Indemnified Person as a result of Company’s failure to provide Nomura with a Repurchase Notice in accordance with this paragraph, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Company in writing, and Company, upon request of the Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others Company may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding.  Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, Company agrees to indemnify any Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.  Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding on terms reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person.  If the indemnification provided for in this paragraph is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then Company under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying

 

10

 

such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities.  The remedies provided for in this paragraph are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.  The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this paragraph shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of the Transaction.

 

(c)                                  Regulation M.  Company is not on the Trade Date engaged in a distribution, as such term is used in Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), of any securities of Company, other than a distribution meeting the requirements of the exception set forth in Rules 101(b)(10) and 102(b)(7) of Regulation M.  Company shall not, until the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date, engage in any such distribution.

 

(d)                                 No Manipulation.  Company is not entering into the Transaction to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or otherwise in violation of the Exchange Act.

 

(e)                                  Transfer or Assignment.  Company may not transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Transaction without the prior written consent of Nomura.  Nomura may, without Company’s consent, but upon prior written notice, transfer or assign all or any part of its rights or obligations under the Transaction to any third party; provided that (i) under the applicable law effective on the date of such transfer or assignment, Company will not, as a result of such transfer or assignment, be required to pay the transferee on any payment date an amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement greater than an amount that Company would have been required to pay to Nomura in the absence of such transfer or assignment and (ii) no Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or Termination Event will occur as a result of such transfer or assignment.  If at any time at which (A) the Section 16 Percentage exceeds 4.5%, (B) the Warrant Equity Percentage exceeds 14.5%, or (C) the Share Amount exceeds the Applicable Share Limit (if any applies) (any such condition described in clauses (A), (B) or (C), an “Excess Ownership Position”), Nomura is unable after using its commercially reasonable efforts to effect a transfer or assignment of Warrants to a third party on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to Nomura and within a time period reasonably acceptable to Nomura such that no Excess Ownership Position exists, then Nomura may designate any Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction (the “Terminated Portion”), such that following such partial termination no Excess Ownership Position exists.  In the event that Nomura so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a Terminated Portion, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (1) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Transaction and a Number of Warrants equal to the number of Warrants underlying the Terminated Portion, (2) Company were the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (3) the Terminated Portion were the sole Affected Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 9(i) shall apply to any amount that is payable by Company to Nomura pursuant to this sentence as if Company was not the Affected Party).  The “Section 16 Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, as determined by Nomura, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Nomura and each person subject to aggregation of Shares with Nomura under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder directly or indirectly beneficially own (as defined under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding.  The “Warrant Equity Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the sum of (1) the product of the Number of Warrants and the Warrant Entitlement and (2) the aggregate number of Shares underlying any other warrants purchased by Nomura from Company, and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding.  The “Share Amount” as of any day is the number of Shares that Nomura and any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Nomura (Nomura or any such person, a “Nomura Person”) under any law, rule, regulation, regulatory order or organizational documents or contracts of Company that are, in each case, applicable to ownership of Shares (“Applicable Restrictions”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Nomura in its sole discretion.  The

 

11

 

“Applicable Share Limit” means a number of Shares equal to (A) the minimum number of Shares that could give rise to reporting or registration obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval from any person or entity) of a Nomura Person, or could result in an adverse effect on a Nomura Person, under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Nomura in its sole discretion, minus (B) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding.  Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Nomura to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities, or make or receive any payment in cash, to or from Company, Nomura may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities, or make or receive such payment in cash, and otherwise to perform Nomura’s obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations.  Nomura shall be discharged of its obligations to Company to the extent of any such performance.

 

(f)                                   Dividends.  If at any time during the period from and including the Effective Date, to and including the last Expiration Date, an ex-dividend date for a cash dividend occurs with respect to the Shares (an “Ex-Dividend Date”), then the Calculation Agent will adjust any of the Strike Price, Number of Warrants, Daily Number of Warrants and/or any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment of the Transaction to preserve the fair value of the Warrants to Nomura after taking into account such dividend.

 

(g)                                  Additional Provisions.

 

(i)                                     Amendments to the Equity Definitions:

 

(A)                               Section 11.2(a) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the words “a diluting or concentrative” and replacing them with the word “an”; and adding the phrase “or Warrants” at the end of the sentence.

 

(B)                               Section 11.2(c) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by (w) replacing the words “a diluting or concentrative” with “an” in the fifth line thereof, (x) adding the phrase “or Warrants” after the words “the relevant Shares” in the same sentence, (y) deleting the words “diluting or concentrative” in the sixth to last line thereof and (z) deleting the phrase “(provided that no adjustments will be made to account solely for changes in volatility, expected dividends, stock loan rate or liquidity relative to the relevant Shares)” and replacing it with the phrase “(and, for the avoidance of doubt, adjustments may be made to account solely for changes in volatility, expected dividends, stock loan rate or liquidity relative to the relevant Shares).”

 

(C)                               Section 11.2(e)(vii) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the words “a diluting or concentrative” and replacing them with the word “a material”; and adding the phrase “or Warrants” at the end of the sentence.

 

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

 

(E)                                Section 12.9(b)(iv) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by:

 

(x)                                 deleting (1) subsection (A) in its entirety, (2) the phrase “or (B)” following subsection (A) and (3) the phrase “in each case” in subsection (B); and

 

(y)                                 replacing the phrase “neither the Non-Hedging Party nor the Lending Party lends Shares” with the phrase “such Lending Party does not lend Shares” in the penultimate sentence.

 

(F)                                 Section 12.9(b)(v) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by:

 

12

 

(x)                                 adding the word “or” immediately before subsection “(B)” and deleting the comma at the end of subsection (A); and

 

(y)                                 (1) deleting subsection (C) in its entirety, (2) deleting the word “or” immediately preceding subsection (C), (3) deleting the penultimate sentence in its entirety and replacing it with the sentence “The Hedging Party will determine the Cancellation Amount payable by one party to the other.” and (4) deleting clause (X) in the final sentence.

 

(ii)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, upon the occurrence of one of the following events, with respect to the Transaction, (1) Nomura shall have the right to designate such event an Additional Termination Event and designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement, (2) Company shall be deemed the sole Affected Party with respect to such Additional Termination Event and (3) the Transaction, or, at the election of Nomura in its sole discretion, any portion of the Transaction, shall be deemed the sole Affected Transaction; provided that if Nomura so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction, (a) a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Transaction and a Number of Warrants equal to the number of Warrants included in the terminated portion of the Transaction, and (b) for the avoidance of doubt, the Transaction shall remain in full force and effect except that the Number of Warrants shall be reduced by the number of Warrants included in such terminated portion:

 

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

 

(B)                               Consummation of (I) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Shares (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination) as a result of which the Shares would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets or (II) any share exchange, consolidation or merger of Company pursuant to which the Shares will be converted into cash, securities or other property or assets or (III) any sale, lease or other transfer in one transaction or a series of transactions of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any person other than one of Company’s subsidiaries.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any transaction or transactions set forth in clause (A) or (B) above shall not constitute an Additional Termination Event if (x) at least 90% of the consideration received or to be received by holders of the Shares, excluding cash payments for fractional Shares, in connection with such transaction or transactions consists of shares of common stock that are listed or quoted on any of The New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market or The NASDAQ Global Market (or any of their respective successors) or will be so listed or quoted when issued or exchanged in connection with such transaction or transactions, and (y) as a result of such transaction or transactions, the Shares will consist of such consideration, excluding cash payments for fractional Shares.

 

(C)                               Continuing Directors cease to constitute at least a majority of Company’s board of directors. “Continuing Director” means a director who either was a member of Company’s board of directors on the Trade Date or who becomes a member of Company’s board of directors subsequent to the Trade Date and whose election, appointment or nomination for election by Company’s holders of Shares is duly approved by a majority of the Continuing Directors on Company’s board of directors at the time of such approval, either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy

 

13

 

statement issued by Company on behalf of Company’s entire board of directors in which such individual is named as nominee for director.

 

(D)          Default by Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries with respect to any mortgage, agreement or other instrument under which there may be outstanding, or by which there may be secured or evidenced, any indebtedness for money borrowed in excess of $15,000,000 (or its foreign currency equivalent) in the aggregate of Company and/or any such Significant Subsidiary, whether such indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created (i) resulting in such indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable or (ii) constituting a failure to pay the principal or interest of any such debt when due and payable at its stated maturity, upon required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise. “Significant Subsidiary” means any “significant subsidiary” as defined in Article 1, Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X.

 

(E)                                A final judgment for the payment of $15,000,000 (or its foreign currency equivalent) or more (excluding any amounts covered by insurance) rendered against Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, which judgment is not discharged or stayed within 60 days after (I) the date on which the right to appeal thereof has expired if no such appeal has commenced, or (II) the date on which all rights to appeal have been extinguished.

 

(h)                                 No Collateral or Setoff.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement or any other agreement between the parties to the contrary, the obligations of Company hereunder are not secured by any collateral.  Obligations under the Transaction shall not be set off by Company against any other obligations of the parties, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation, under any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise.  Any provision in the Agreement with respect to the satisfaction of Company’s payment obligations to the extent of Nomura’s payment obligations to Company in the same currency and in the same Transaction (including, without limitation Section 2(c) thereof) shall not apply to Company and, for the avoidance of doubt, Company shall fully satisfy such payment obligations notwithstanding any payment obligation to Company by Nomura in the same currency and in the same Transaction. In calculating any amounts under Section 6(e) of the Agreement, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, (1) separate amounts shall be calculated as set forth in such Section 6(e) with respect to (a) the Transaction and (b) all other Transactions, and (2) such separate amounts shall be payable pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Section 9(h), in the event of bankruptcy or liquidation of either Company or Nomura, neither party shall have the right to set off any obligation that it may have to the other party under the Transaction against any obligation such other party may have to it, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation or any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise.

 

(i)                                     Alternative Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events.

 

(i)                                     If (a) an Early Termination Date (whether as a result of an Event of Default or a Termination Event) occurs or is designated with respect to the Transaction or (b) the Transaction is cancelled or terminated upon the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event (except as a result of (i) a Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event in which the consideration to be paid to holders of Shares consists solely of cash, (ii) a Merger Event or Tender Offer that is within Company’s control, or (iii) an Event of Default in which Company is the Defaulting Party or a Termination Event in which Company is the Affected Party other than an Event of Default of the type described in Section 5(a)(iii), (v), (vi), (vii) or (viii) of the Agreement or a Termination Event of the type described in Section 5(b) of the Agreement, in each case that resulted from an event or events outside Company’s control), and if Company would owe any amount to Nomura pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement or any Cancellation Amount pursuant to Article 12 of the Equity Definitions (any such amount, a “Payment Obligation”), then Company shall satisfy the Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative (as defined below), unless (a) Company gives irrevocable telephonic notice to Nomura, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day, no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York

 

14

 

City time) on the Merger Date, Tender Offer Date, Announcement Date (in the case of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), Early Termination Date or date of cancellation, as applicable, of its election that the Share Termination Alternative shall not apply, (b) Company remakes the representation set forth in Section 8(g) as of the date of such election and (c) Nomura agrees, in its sole discretion, to such election, in which case the provisions of Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions, or the provisions of Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, as the case may be, shall apply.

 

	
Share Termination Alternative:
    	
 
    	
If applicable, Company shall deliver to Nomura the   Share Termination Delivery Property on the date (the “Share   Termination Payment Date”) on which the Payment Obligation would   otherwise be due pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the   Equity Definitions or Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, as   applicable, subject to Section 9(j)(i) below, in satisfaction,   subject to Section 9(j)(ii) below, of the relevant Payment   Obligation, in the manner reasonably requested by Nomura free of payment.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Share Termination Delivery
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Property:
    	
 
    	
A number of Share Termination Delivery Units, as   calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the relevant Payment Obligation   divided by the Share Termination Unit   Price. The Calculation Agent shall adjust the amount of Share Termination   Delivery Property by replacing any fractional portion of a security therein   with an amount of cash equal to the value of such fractional security based   on the values used to calculate the Share Termination Unit Price (without   giving effect to any discount pursuant to Section 9(j)(i)).
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Share Termination Unit Price:
    	
 
    	
The value to Nomura of property contained in one   Share Termination Delivery Unit on the date such Share Termination Delivery   Units are to be delivered as Share Termination Delivery Property, as   determined by the Calculation Agent in its discretion by commercially   reasonable means. In the case of a Private Placement of Share Termination   Delivery Units that are Restricted Shares (as defined below), as set forth in   Section 9(j)(i) below, the Share Termination Unit Price shall be   determined by the discounted price applicable to such Share Termination   Delivery Units. In the case of a Registration Settlement of Share Termination   Delivery Units that are Restricted Shares (as defined below) as set forth in   Section 9(j)(ii) below, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Share   Termination Unit Price shall be the Settlement Price on the Merger Date,   Tender Offer Date, Announcement Date (in the case of a Nationalization, Insolvency   or Delisting), Early Termination Date or date of cancellation, as applicable.   The Calculation Agent shall notify Company of the Share Termination Unit   Price at the time of notification of such Payment Obligation to Company or,   if applicable, at the time the discounted price applicable to the relevant   Share Termination Units is determined pursuant to Section 9(j)(i).
    

 

15

 

	
Share Termination Delivery Unit:
    	
 
    	
One Share or, if the Shares have changed into cash   or any other property or the right to receive cash or any other property as   the result of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event (any such   cash or other property, the “Exchange Property”),   a unit consisting of the type and amount of Exchange Property received by a   holder of one Share (without consideration of any requirement to pay cash or   other consideration in lieu of fractional amounts of any securities) in such   Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event. If such Nationalization, Insolvency   or Merger Event involves a choice of Exchange Property to be received by   holders, such holder shall be deemed to have elected to receive the maximum   possible amount of cash.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Failure to Deliver:
    	
 
    	
Inapplicable
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Other applicable provisions:
    	
 
    	
If Share Termination Alternative is applicable, the   provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.11 and 9.12 (as modified above) of the   Equity Definitions will be applicable, except that all references in such   provisions to “Physically-settled” shall be read as references to “Share   Termination Settled” and all references to “Shares” shall be read as   references to “Share Termination Delivery Units”. “Share Termination Settled”   in relation to the Transaction means that the Share Termination Alternative   is applicable to the Transaction.
    

 

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

 

(i)            If Company elects to settle the Transaction pursuant to this clause (i) (a “Private Placement Settlement”), then delivery of Restricted Shares by Company shall be effected in customary private placement procedures with respect to such Restricted Shares reasonably acceptable to Nomura; provided that Company may not elect a Private Placement Settlement if, on the date of its election, it has taken, or caused to be taken, any action that would make unavailable either the exemption pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act for the sale by Company to Nomura (or any affiliate designated by Nomura) of the Restricted Shares or the exemption pursuant to Section 4(a)(1) or Section 4(a)(3) of the Securities Act for resales of the Restricted Shares by Nomura (or any such affiliate of Nomura).  The Private Placement Settlement of such Restricted Shares shall include customary representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to Nomura, due diligence rights (for

 

16

 

Nomura or any designated buyer of the Restricted Shares by Nomura), opinions and certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for private placement agreements, all reasonably acceptable to Nomura.  In the case of a Private Placement Settlement, Nomura shall determine the appropriate discount to the Share Termination Unit Price (in the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to Section 9(i) above) or any Settlement Price (in the case of settlement of Shares pursuant to Section 2 above) applicable to such Restricted Shares in a commercially reasonable manner and appropriately adjust the number of such Restricted Shares to be delivered to Nomura hereunder.  Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary in the Agreement or this Confirmation, the date of delivery of such Restricted Shares shall be the Exchange Business Day following notice by Nomura to Company, of such applicable discount and the number of Restricted Shares to be delivered pursuant to this clause (i).  For the avoidance of doubt, delivery of Restricted Shares shall be due as set forth in the previous sentence and not be due on the Share Termination Payment Date (in the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to Section 9(i) above) or on the Settlement Date for such Restricted Shares (in the case of settlement in Shares pursuant to Section 2 above).

 

(ii)                                  If Company elects to settle the Transaction pursuant to this clause (ii) (a “Registration Settlement”), then Company shall promptly (but in any event no later than the beginning of the Resale Period) file and use its reasonable best efforts to make effective under the Securities Act a registration statement or supplement or amend an outstanding registration statement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Nomura, to cover the resale of such Restricted Shares in accordance with customary resale registration procedures, including covenants, conditions, representations, underwriting discounts (if applicable), commissions (if applicable), indemnities, due diligence rights, opinions and certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for equity resale underwriting agreements, all reasonably acceptable to Nomura.  If Nomura, in its sole reasonable discretion, is not satisfied with such procedures and documentation Private Placement Settlement shall apply.  If Nomura is satisfied with such procedures and documentation, it shall sell the Restricted Shares pursuant to such registration statement during a period (the “Resale Period”) commencing on the Exchange Business Day following delivery of such Restricted Shares (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be (x) the Share Termination Payment Date in case of settlement in Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to Section 9(i) above or (y) the Settlement Date in respect of the final Expiration Date for all Daily Number of Warrants) and ending on the Exchange Business Day on which Nomura completes the sale of all Restricted Shares or, in the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units, a sufficient number of Restricted Shares so that the realized net proceeds of such sales equals or exceeds the Payment Obligation (as defined above).  If the Payment Obligation exceeds the realized net proceeds from such resale, Company shall transfer to Nomura by the open of the regular trading session on the Exchange on the Exchange Trading Day immediately following such resale the amount of such excess (the “Additional Amount”) in cash or in a number of Shares (“Make-whole Shares”) in an amount that, based on the Settlement Price on such day (as if such day was the “Valuation Date” for purposes of computing such Settlement Price), has a dollar value equal to the Additional Amount.  The Resale Period shall continue to enable the sale of the Make-whole Shares.  If Company elects to pay the Additional Amount in Shares, the requirements and provisions for Registration Settlement shall apply.  This provision shall be applied successively until the Additional Amount is equal to zero.  In no event shall Company deliver a number of Restricted Shares greater than the Maximum Number of Shares.

 

(iii)          Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Company agrees that (A) any Restricted Shares delivered to Nomura may be transferred by and among Nomura and its affiliates and Company shall effect such transfer without any further action by Nomura and (B) after the period of 6 months from the Trade Date (or 1 year from the Trade Date if, at such time, informational requirements of Rule 144(c) under the Securities Act are not satisfied with respect to Company) has elapsed in respect of any Restricted Shares delivered to Nomura, Company shall promptly remove, or cause the transfer agent for such Restricted Shares to remove, any legends referring to any such restrictions or requirements from such Restricted Shares upon request by Nomura (or such affiliate of Nomura) to Company or such transfer

 

17

 

agent, without any requirement for the delivery of any certificate, consent, agreement, opinion of counsel, notice or any other document, any transfer tax stamps or payment of any other amount or any other action by Nomura (or such affiliate of Nomura). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent the provisions of Rule 144 of the Securities Act or any successor rule are amended, or the applicable interpretation thereof by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any court change after the Trade Date, the agreements of Company herein shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary, in the opinion of outside counsel of Company, to comply with Rule 144 of the Securities Act, as in effect at the time of delivery of the relevant Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property.

 

(iv)                              If the Private Placement Settlement or the Registration Settlement shall not be effected as set forth in clauses (i) or (ii), as applicable, then failure to effect such Private Placement Settlement or such Registration Settlement shall constitute an Event of Default with respect to which Company shall be the Defaulting Party.

 

(k)                                 Limit on Beneficial Ownership.  Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, Nomura may not exercise any Warrant hereunder or be entitled to take delivery of any Shares deliverable hereunder, and Automatic Exercise shall not apply with respect to any Warrant hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after such receipt of any Shares upon the exercise of such Warrant or otherwise hereunder and after taking into account any Shares deliverable to Nomura under the letter agreement dated March 4, 2014 between Nomura and Company regarding Base Warrants (the “Base Warrant Confirmation”), (i) the Section 16 Percentage would exceed 4.5%, or (ii) the Share Amount would exceed the Applicable Share Limit.  Any purported delivery hereunder shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after such delivery and after taking into account any Shares deliverable to Nomura under the Base Warrant Confirmation, (i) the Section 16 Percentage would exceed 4.5%, or (ii) the Share Amount would exceed the Applicable Share Limit. If any delivery owed to Nomura hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, Company’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and Company shall make such delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than one Business Day after, Nomura gives notice to Company that, after such delivery, (i) the Section 16 Percentage would not exceed 4.5%, and (ii) the Share Amount would not exceed the Applicable Share Limit.

 

(l)                                     Share Deliveries. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Company agrees that any delivery of Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property shall be effected by book-entry transfer through the facilities of DTC, or any successor depositary, if at the time of delivery, such class of Shares or class of Share Termination Delivery Property is in book-entry form at DTC or such successor depositary.

 

(m)                             Waiver of Jury Trial.   Each party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any suit, action or proceeding relating to 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.

 

(n)                                 Tax Disclosure.  Effective from the date of commencement of discussions concerning the Transaction, Company and each of its employees, representatives, or other agents may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the Transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to Company relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.

 

(o)                                 Maximum Share Delivery.

 

(i)            Notwithstanding any other provision of this Confirmation, the Agreement or the Equity Definitions, in no event will Company at any time be required to deliver a number of Shares greater than two times the Number of Shares (the “Maximum Number of Shares”) to Nomura in connection with the Transaction.

 

18

 

(ii)           In the event Company shall not have delivered to Nomura the full number of Shares or Restricted Shares otherwise deliverable by Company to Nomura pursuant to the terms of the Transaction because Company has insufficient authorized but unissued Shares that are not reserved for other transactions (such deficit, the “Deficit Shares”), Company shall be continually obligated to deliver, from time to time, Shares or Restricted Shares, as the case may be, to Nomura until the full number of Deficit Shares have been delivered pursuant to this Section 9(o)(ii), when, and to the extent that, (A) Shares are repurchased, acquired or otherwise received by Company or any of its subsidiaries after the Trade Date (whether or not in exchange for cash, fair value or any other consideration), (B) authorized and unissued Shares previously reserved for issuance in respect of other transactions become no longer so reserved or (C) Company additionally authorizes any unissued Shares that are not reserved for other transactions; provided that in no event shall Company deliver any Shares or Restricted Shares to Nomura pursuant to this Section 9(o)(ii) to the extent that such delivery would cause the aggregate number of Shares and Restricted Shares delivered to Nomura to exceed the Maximum Number of Shares.  Company shall immediately notify Nomura of the occurrence of any of the foregoing events (including the number of Shares subject to clause (A), (B) or (C) and the corresponding number of Shares or Restricted Shares, as the case may be, to be delivered) and promptly deliver such Shares or Restricted Shares, as the case may be, thereafter.

 

(p)                                 Right to Extend.  Nomura may postpone or add, in whole or in part, any Expiration Date or any other date of valuation or delivery with respect to some or all of the relevant Warrants (in which event the Calculation Agent shall make appropriate adjustments to the Daily Number of Warrants with respect to one or more Expiration Dates) if Nomura determines, in its commercially reasonable judgment, that such extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate to preserve Nomura’s hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions or to enable Nomura to effect purchases of Shares in connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if Nomura were Issuer or an affiliated purchaser of Issuer, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Nomura.

 

(q)                                 Status of Claims in Bankruptcy.  Nomura acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to convey to Nomura rights against Company with respect to the Transaction that are senior to the claims of common stockholders of Company in any United States bankruptcy proceedings of Company; provided that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Nomura’s right to pursue remedies in the event of a breach by Company of its obligations and agreements with respect to the Transaction; provided, further, that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Nomura’s rights in respect of any transactions other than the Transaction.

 

(r)                                    Securities Contract; Swap Agreement.  The parties hereto intend for (i) the Transaction to be a “securities contract” and a “swap agreement” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code) (the “Bankruptcy Code”), and the parties hereto to be entitled to the protections afforded by, among other Sections, Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 546(e), 546(g), 555 and 560 of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) a party’s right to liquidate the Transaction and to exercise any other remedies upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Agreement with respect to the other party to constitute a “contractual right” as described in the Bankruptcy Code, and (iii) each payment and delivery of cash, securities or other property hereunder to constitute a “margin payment” or “settlement payment” and a “transfer” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code.

 

(s)                                   Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act.  In connection with Section 739 of the Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act of 2010 (“WSTAA”), the parties hereby agree that neither the enactment of WSTAA or any regulation under the WSTAA, nor any requirement under WSTAA or an amendment made by WSTAA, shall limit or otherwise impair either party’s otherwise applicable rights to terminate, renegotiate, modify, amend or supplement this Confirmation or the Agreement, as applicable, arising from a termination event, force majeure, illegality, increased costs, regulatory change or similar event under this Confirmation, the Equity Definitions incorporated herein, or the Agreement (including, but not limited to, rights arising from Change in Law, Hedging Disruption, Increased Cost of Hedging, an Excess Ownership Position, or Illegality (as defined in the Agreement)).

 

19

 

(t)                                    Agreements and Acknowledgements Regarding Hedging. Company understands, acknowledges and agrees that: (A) at any time on and prior to the last Expiration Date, Nomura and its affiliates may buy or sell Shares or other securities or buy or sell options or futures contracts or enter into swaps or other derivative securities in order to adjust its hedge position with respect to the Transaction;  (B) Nomura and its affiliates also may be active in the market for Shares other than in connection with hedging activities in relation to the Transaction; (C) Nomura shall make its own determination as to whether, when or in what manner any hedging or market activities in securities of Issuer shall be conducted and shall do so in a manner that it deems appropriate to hedge its price and market risk with respect to the Settlement Prices; and (D) any market activities of Nomura and its affiliates with respect to Shares may affect the market price and volatility of Shares, as well as the Settlement Prices, each in a manner that may be adverse to Company.

 

(u)                                 Early Unwind. In the event the sale of the “Additional Securities” (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) is not consummated with the Initial Purchasers for any reason, or Company fails to deliver to Nomura opinions of counsel as required pursuant to Section 9(a), in each case by 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Premium Payment Date, or such later date as agreed upon by the parties (the Premium Payment Date or such later date the “Early Unwind Date”), the Transaction shall automatically terminate (the “Early Unwind”), on the Early Unwind Date and (i) the Transaction and all of the respective rights and obligations of Nomura and Company under the Transaction shall be cancelled and terminated and (ii) each party shall be released and discharged by the other party from and agrees not to make any claim against the other party with respect to any obligations or liabilities of the other party arising out of and to be performed in connection with the Transaction either prior to or after the Early Unwind Date.  Each of Nomura and Company represents and acknowledges to the other that, upon an Early Unwind, all obligations with respect to the Transaction shall be deemed fully and finally discharged.

 

(v)                                 Payment by Nomura. 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, Nomura owes to Company an amount calculated under Section 6(e) of the Agreement, or (ii) Nomura owes to Company, pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions, an amount calculated under Section 12.8 of the Equity Definitions, such amount shall be deemed to be zero.

 

(w)                               Matters relating to Nomura and the Agent.

 

(i)            Nomura is not registered as a broker or dealer under the Exchange Act.  Nomura Securities International, Inc. (“Agent”) has acted solely as agent for Nomura and Company to the extent required by law in connection with the Transaction and has no obligations, by way of issuance, endorsement, guarantee or otherwise, with respect to the performance of either party under the Transaction.  The parties agree to proceed solely against each other, and not against Agent, in seeking enforcement of their rights and obligations with respect to the Transaction, including their rights and obligations with respect to payment of funds and delivery of securities.

 

(ii)           Agent may have been paid a fee by Nomura in connection with the Transaction.  Further details will be furnished upon written request.

 

(iii)          The time of the Transaction will be furnished by Agent upon written request.
