Re:

	
Issuer Warrant Transaction (2011)

	
 

	
(Transaction Reference Number: NY-32865)

Ladies and
Gentlemen:

          The
purpose of this communication (this “Confirmation”) is to set forth the terms
and conditions of the above-referenced transaction entered into on the Trade
Date specified below (the “Transaction”) between Bank of America, N.A.
(“Dealer”)
and The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company, Inc. (“Issuer”). This communication
constitutes a “Confirmation” as referred to in the ISDA Master Agreement
specified below. 

          1.
This Confirmation is subject to, and incorporates, the definitions and
provisions of the 2000 ISDA Definitions (including the Annex thereto) (the “2000
Definitions”) and the definitions and provisions of the 2002 ISDA
Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “Equity Definitions”, and together with the
2000 Definitions, the “Definitions”), in each case as published by
the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”).
In the event of any inconsistency between the 2000 Definitions and the Equity
Definitions, the Equity Definitions will govern. For purposes of the Equity
Definitions, each reference herein to a Warrant shall be deemed to be a
reference to a Call Option or an Option, as context requires.

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

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

          2.
The Transaction 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:

Expiration
  Date:

	
 

	
As provided
  in Annex A to this Confirmation (or, if such date is not a Scheduled
  Trading Day, the next following Scheduled Trading Day that is not already an
  Expiration Date for another Component); provided
  that if that date is a Disrupted Day, the Expiration Date for such Component
  shall be the first succeeding Scheduled Trading Day that is not a Disrupted
  Day and is not or is not deemed to be an Expiration Date in respect of any
  other Component of the Transaction hereunder; and provided further that if the Expiration Date has not
  occurred pursuant to the preceding proviso as of the Final Disruption Date,
  the Final Disruption Date shall be the Expiration Date (irrespective of
  whether such date is an Expiration Date occurring on the Final Disruption
  Date in respect of any other Component for the Transaction) and,
  notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation or the
  Definitions, the Relevant Price for the Expiration Date shall be the
  prevailing market value per Share determined in good faith by the Calculation
  Agent in a commercially reasonable manner. “Final Disruption Date”
  means ten Exchange Business Days after January 24, 2012. Notwithstanding the
  foregoing and anything to the contrary in the Equity Definitions, if a Market
  Disruption Event occurs on any Expiration Date, the Calculation Agent may
  determine that such Expiration Date is a Disrupted Day only in part, in which
  case the Calculation Agent shall make adjustments to the number of Warrants
  for the relevant Component for which such day shall be the Expiration Date
  and shall designate the

Scheduled
  Trading Day determined in the manner described in the immediately preceding
  sentence as the Expiration Date for the remaining Warrants for such
  Component. Section 6.6 of the Equity Definitions shall not apply to any
  Valuation Date occurring on an Expiration Date.

  “during the one hour period that ends at the relevant Valuation Time, Latest
  Exercise Time, Knock-in Valuation Time or Knock-out Valuation Time, as the
  case may be,” in clause (ii) thereof. 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
Automatic
  Exercise:

	
 

	
Applicable;
  and means that the Number of Warrants for each Component will be deemed to be
  automatically exercised at the
  Expiration Time on the Expiration Date for such Component unless Dealer
  notifies Seller (by telephone or in writing) prior to the Expiration Time on
  the Expiration Date that it does not wish Automatic Exercise to occur, in
  which case Automatic Exercise will not apply.

Applicable; provided that the same Settlement Method
  shall apply to all Components; and provided
  further that references in the Equity Definitions to “Physical
  Settlement” shall be deemed to be references to “Net Share Settlement” as

  becomes the Default Settlement Method, the Issuer shall use its reasonable
  best efforts to provide Dealer with a written statement that the
  representations contained in paragraphs (a)(i) and (a)(iv) of “Representations,
  Warranties and Agreements” below are true and correct as of and as if made on
  the date of such election.

Net Share
  Settlement; provided that, unless on
  the Settlement Method Election Date, the number of Reserved Shares, as
  defined in Section 8(e), is at least equal to the Capped Number, as defined
  in Section 8(e), the Default Settlement Method shall be Cash Settlement; provided
  further that if the default settlement method
  applicable to warrant transactions entered into between the Issuer and Lehman
  Brothers OTC Derivatives Inc. (“Lehman OTC”) on the Trade
  Date becomes cash settlement pursuant to a proviso identical to the proceeding
  proviso, the Default Settlement Method hereunder shall be Cash Settlement.

The Number
  of Shares to be Delivered shall be delivered by Issuer to Dealer no later

  Tender Offer to which Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment applies, the adjustments
  to be made in accordance with Section 12.2(e)(i) or Section 12.3(d)(i), as
  the case may be, of the Equity Definitions would result in Issuer being
  different from the issuer of the Shares, then with respect to such Merger
  Event or Tender Offer, as a condition precedent to the adjustments
  contemplated in Section 12.2(e)(i) or Section 12.3(d)(i), as the case may be,
  of the Equity Definitions, Issuer and the issuer of the Shares shall, prior
  to the Merger Date or Tender Offer, as the case may be, have entered into
  such documentation containing representations, warranties and agreements
  relating to securities law and other issues as requested by Dealer that
  Dealer has determined, in its commercially reasonable discretion, to be
  reasonably necessary or appropriate to allow Dealer to continue as a party to
  the Transaction, as adjusted under Section 12.2(e)(i) or Section 12.3(d)(i),
  as the case may be, of the Equity Definitions, and to preserve its hedging or
  hedge unwind activities in connection with the Transaction in a manner
  compliant with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements,
  or with related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer, and if such
  conditions are not met or if the Calculation Agent determines that no
  adjustment that it could make under Section 12.2(e)(i) or Section 12.3(d)(i),
  as the case may be, of the Equity Definitions will produce a commercially
  reasonable result, then the consequences set forth in Section 12.2(e)(ii) or
  Section 12.3(d)(ii), as the case may be, of the Equity Definitions shall
  apply.

  or re-quoted on any of the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock
  Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market or The NASDAQ Global Market (or

          7. Representations,
Warranties and Agreements:

	
 

	
 

	
          (a)
  In addition to the representations and warranties in the Agreement and those
  contained elsewhere herein, Issuer represents and warrants to and for the
  benefit of, and agrees with, Dealer as follows:

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (i)
  On the Trade Date, (A) none of Issuer and its officers and directors is aware
  of any material nonpublic information regarding Issuer or the Shares and (B)
  all reports and other documents filed by Issuer with the Securities and
  Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
  amended (the “Exchange Act”), when considered as a whole (with the more
  recent such reports and documents deemed to amend inconsistent statements
  contained in any earlier such reports and documents), do not contain any
  untrue statement of a material fact or any omission of a material fact
  required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in
  the light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (ii)
  Without limiting the generality of Section 13.1 of the Equity Definitions,
  Issuer acknowledges that Dealer is not making any representations or
  warranties with respect to the treatment of the Transaction under FASB
  Statements 133, as amended, or 150, EITF Issue No. 00-19 (or any successor
  issue statements) or under FASB’s Liabilities & Equity Project.

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (iii)
  Prior to the Trade Date, Issuer shall deliver to Dealer a resolution of
  Issuer’s board of directors authorizing the Transaction and such other
  certificate or certificates as Dealer shall reasonably request.

	
 

	
 

	
 

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

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (v)
  Issuer is not, and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated
  hereby will not be, an “investment company” as such term is defined in the
  Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (vi)
  On the Trade Date (A) the assets of Issuer at their fair valuation exceed the
  liabilities of Issuer, including contingent liabilities, (B) the capital of
  Issuer is adequate to conduct the business of Issuer and (C) Issuer has the
  ability to pay its debts and obligations as such debts mature and does not
  intend to, or does not believe that it will, incur debt beyond its ability to
  pay as such debts mature.

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (vii)
  Issuer shall not take any action to decrease the number of Available Shares
  below the Capped Number (each as defined below).

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (viii)
  The representations and warranties of Issuer set forth in Section 3 of the
  Agreement and Sections 1 and 3 of the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting
  Agreement”) dated as of December 12,

7

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
2007 between Bank of America,
  N.A. and Lehman Brothers Inc., as representatives of the underwriters party
  thereto are true and correct and are hereby deemed to be repeated to Dealer
  as if set forth herein.

	
 

	
 

	
 

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

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (x)
  (A) During the period starting on the first Expiration Date and ending on the
  last Expiration Date (the “Settlement Period”), the Shares or
  securities that are convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for
  Shares, are not, and shall not be, subject to a “restricted period,” as such
  term is defined in Regulation M under the Exchange Act (“Regulation M”) and (B)
  Issuer shall not engage in any “distribution,” as such term is defined in
  Regulation M, other than a distribution meeting the requirements of the
  exceptions set forth in sections 101(b)(10) and 102(b)(7) of Regulation M,
  until the second Exchange Business Day immediately following the Settlement
  Period.

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (xi)
  During the Settlement Period, neither Issuer nor any “affiliate” or
  “affiliated purchaser” (each as defined in Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act (“Rule
  10b-18”)) shall directly or indirectly (including, without
  limitation, by means of any cash-settled or other derivative instrument)
  purchase, offer to purchase, place any bid or limit order that would effect a
  purchase of, or commence any tender offer relating to, any Shares (or an
  equivalent interest, including a unit of beneficial interest in a trust or
  limited partnership or a depository share) or any security convertible into
  or exchangeable or exercisable for Shares, except through Dealer.

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (xii)
  As of the Trade Date, the Issuer has not entered into any obligation that
  would contractually limit it from effecting Cash Settlement or Net Share
  Settlement under the Transaction.

          (b)
Each of Dealer and Issuer agrees and represents that it is an “eligible
contract participant” as defined in Section 1a(12) of the U.S. Commodity
Exchange Act, as amended.

          (c)
Each of Dealer and Issuer acknowledges that the offer and sale of the
Transaction to it is intended to be exempt from registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), by virtue of Section 4(2)
thereof. Accordingly, Dealer represents and warrants to Issuer that (i) it has
the financial ability to bear the economic risk of its investment in the
Transaction and is able to bear a total loss of its investment, (ii) it is an
“accredited investor” as that term is defined in Regulation D as promulgated
under the Securities Act, (iii) it is entering into the Transaction for its own
account without a view to the distribution or resale thereof and (iv) the
assignment, transfer or other disposition of the Transaction has not been and
will not be registered under the Securities Act and is restricted under this
Confirmation, the Securities Act and state securities laws.

          (d) Each
of Dealer and Issuer agrees and acknowledges that Dealer is a “financial
institution,” “swap participant” and “financial participant” within the meaning
of Sections 101(22), 101(53C) and 101(22A) of Title 11 of the United States
Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”). The parties hereto further agree and
acknowledge (A) that this Confirmation is (i) a “securities contract,” as such
term is defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code, with respect to which
each payment and delivery hereunder is a “settlement payment,” as such term is
defined in Section 741(8) of the Bankruptcy Code, and (ii) a “swap agreement,”
as such term is defined in Section 101(53B) of the Bankruptcy Code, with
respect to which each payment and delivery hereunder is a “transfer,” as such
term is defined in Section 101(54) of the Bankruptcy Code, and (B) that Dealer
is entitled to the protections afforded by, among other sections, Section
362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 546(e), 546(g), 555 and 560 of the Bankruptcy Code. 

          (e)
Issuer shall deliver to Dealer an opinion of counsel, dated as of the Trade
Date and reasonably acceptable to Dealer in form and substance (subject to
customary qualifications, assumptions and exceptions), with respect to the
matters set forth in Section 3(a) of the Agreement. 

          8.
Other Provisions:

          (a)
Alternative
Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary
Events. If, subject to Section 8(l) below, Issuer shall owe Dealer
any amount pursuant to Sections 12.2, 12.3, 12.6, 12.7 or 12.9 of the Equity
Definitions (except in the event of an Insolvency, a Nationalization, a Tender
Offer or a Merger Event, in each case, in which the consideration or proceeds
to be paid to holders of Shares consists solely of cash) or pursuant to Section
6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (except in the event of an Event of Default in which
Issuer is the Defaulting Party or a Termination Event in which Issuer is the
Affected Party, that resulted from an event or events within Issuer’s control)
(a “Payment
Obligation”), Issuer shall have the right, in its sole discretion,
to satisfy any such Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative (as
defined below) by giving irrevocable telephonic notice to Dealer, confirmed in
writing 

8

within one
Scheduled Trading Day, between the hours of 9:00 A.M. and 4:00 P.M. New York
City time on the Merger Date, Tender Offer Date, Announcement Date or Early
Termination Date, as applicable (“Notice of Share Termination”). Upon such
Notice of Share Termination, the following provisions shall apply on the
Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the Merger Date, the Tender Offer
Date, Announcement Date or Early Termination Date, as applicable:

	
 

	
 

	
Share
  Termination Alternative:

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

	
 

	
 

	
Share
  Termination Delivery 

  Property:

	

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

	
 

	
 

	
Share
  Termination Unit Price:

	
The value of
  property contained in one Share Termination Delivery Unit on the date such
  Share Termination Delivery Units are to be delivered as Share Termination
  Delivery Property, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its discretion
  by commercially reasonable means and notified by the Calculation Agent to
  Issuer at the time of notification of the Payment Obligation. 

	
 

	
 

	
Share
  Termination Delivery Unit:

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

	
 

	
 

	
Failure to
  Deliver:

	
Applicable

	
 

	
 

	
Other
  applicable provisions:

	
If Share
  Termination Alternative is applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.1(c),
  9.8, 9.9, 9.10, 9.11 (except that the Representation and Agreement contained
  in Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions shall be modified by excluding any
  representations therein relating to restrictions, obligations, limitations or
  requirements under applicable securities laws as a result of the fact that
  Seller is the Issuer of the Shares) and 9.12 of the Equity Definitions will
  be applicable as if “Physical Settlement” applied to the Transaction, except
  that all references to “Shares” shall be read as references to “Share
  Termination Delivery Units”. 

          (b)
Registration/Private
Placement Procedures. (i) If, in the commercially reasonable
judgment of Dealer, for any reason, any Shares or any securities of Issuer or
its affiliates comprising any Share Termination Delivery Units deliverable to
Dealer hereunder (any such Shares or securities, “Delivered Securities”) would
not be immediately freely transferable by Dealer under the provisions of Rule 144
of the Securities Act, as may be amended from time to time (including the
amendment adopted on November 15, 2007 pursuant to Release No. 33-8869)
applicable to sales of restricted securities by non-affiliates of an issuer,
then the provisions set forth in this Section 8(b) shall apply. At the election
of Issuer by notice to Dealer within one Exchange Business Day after the
relevant delivery obligation arises, but in any event at least one Exchange
Business Day prior to the date on which such delivery obligation is due, either
(A) all Delivered Securities delivered by Issuer to Dealer shall be, at the
time of such delivery, covered by an effective registration statement of Issuer
for immediate resale by Dealer (such registration statement and the corresponding
prospectus (the “Prospectus”) (including, without limitation, any sections
describing the plan of distribution) in form and content commercially
reasonably satisfactory to Dealer) or (B) Issuer shall deliver additional
Delivered Securities so that the value of such Delivered Securities, as
determined by the Calculation Agent to reflect an appropriate liquidity 

9

	
 

	
 

	
discount,
  equals the value of the number of Delivered Securities that would otherwise
  be deliverable if such Delivered Securities were freely tradeable (without
  prospectus delivery) upon receipt by Dealer (such value, the “Freely
  Tradeable Value”); provided
  that Issuer may not make the election described in this clause (B) if, on the
  date of its election, it has taken, or caused to be taken, any action that
  would make unavailable either the exemption pursuant to Section 4(2) of the
  Securities Act for the delivery by Issuer to Dealer (or any affiliate
  designated by Dealer) of the Delivered Securities or the exemption pursuant
  to Section 4(1) or Section 4(3) of the Securities Act for resales of the
  Delivered Securities by Dealer (or any such affiliate of Dealer). (For the
  avoidance of doubt, as used in this paragraph (b) only, the term “Issuer”
  shall mean the issuer of the relevant securities, as the context shall
  require.)

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
(ii) If
  Issuer makes the election described in clause (b)(i)(A) above:

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (A)
  Dealer (or an Affiliate of Dealer designated by Dealer) shall be afforded a
  reasonable opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation with respect
  to Issuer that is customary in scope for underwritten offerings of equity
  securities and that yields results that are commercially reasonably
  satisfactory to Dealer or such Affiliate, as the case may be, in its
  commercially reasonable discretion; and

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (B)
  Dealer (or an Affiliate of Dealer designated by Dealer) and Issuer shall
  enter into an agreement (a “Registration Agreement”) on commercially
  reasonable terms in connection with the public resale of such Delivered Securities
  by Dealer or such Affiliate substantially similar to underwriting agreements
  customary for underwritten offerings of equity securities, in form and
  substance commercially reasonably satisfactory to Dealer or such Affiliate
  and Issuer, which Registration Agreement shall include, without limitation,
  provisions substantially similar to those contained in such underwriting
  agreements relating to the indemnification of, and contribution in connection
  with the liability of, Dealer and its Affiliates and Issuer, shall provide
  for the payment by Issuer of all reasonable expenses in connection with such
  resale, including all registration costs and all reasonable fees and expenses
  of counsel for Dealer, and shall provide for the delivery of accountants’
  “comfort letters” to Dealer or such Affiliate with respect to the financial
  statements and certain financial information contained in or incorporated by
  reference into the Prospectus.

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
(iii) If
  Issuer makes the election described in clause (b)(i)(B) above:

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (A)
  Dealer (or an Affiliate of Dealer designated by Dealer) and any potential
  institutional purchaser of any such Delivered Securities from Dealer or such
  Affiliate identified by Dealer shall be afforded a commercially reasonable
  opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation in compliance with
  applicable law with respect to Issuer customary in scope for private
  placements of equity securities (including, without limitation, the right to
  have made available to them for inspection all financial and other records,
  pertinent corporate documents and other information reasonably requested by
  them); 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (B)
  Dealer (or an Affiliate of Dealer designated by Dealer) and Issuer shall
  enter into an agreement (a “Private Placement Agreement”) on
  commercially reasonable terms in connection with the private placement of
  such Delivered Securities by Issuer to Dealer or such Affiliate and the
  private resale of such shares by Dealer or such Affiliate, substantially
  similar to private placement purchase agreements customary for private
  placements of equity securities, in form and substance commercially
  reasonably satisfactory to Dealer and Issuer, which Private Placement
  Agreement shall include, without limitation, provisions substantially similar
  to those contained in such private placement purchase agreements relating to
  the indemnification of, and contribution in connection with the liability of,
  Dealer and its Affiliates and Issuer, shall provide for the payment by Issuer
  of all reasonable expenses in connection with such resale, including all
  reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for Dealer, shall contain
  representations, warranties and agreements of Issuer reasonably necessary or
  advisable to establish and maintain the availability of an exemption from the
  registration requirements of the Securities Act for such resales, and shall
  use best efforts to provide for the delivery of accountants’ “comfort
  letters” to Dealer or such Affiliate with respect to the financial statements
  and certain financial information contained in or incorporated by reference
  into the offering memorandum prepared for the resale of such Shares; and

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (C)
  Issuer agrees that any Delivered Securities so delivered to Dealer, (i) may
  be transferred by and among Dealer and its Affiliates, and Issuer shall
  effect such transfer without any further action by Dealer and (ii) after the
  minimum “holding period” within the meaning of Rule 144(d) under the
  Securities Act has elapsed with respect to such Delivered Securities, Issuer
  shall promptly remove, or cause the transfer agent for such Shares or
  securities to remove, any legends referring to any such restrictions or
  requirements from such Delivered Securities upon delivery by Dealer (or such
  Affiliate of Dealer) to Issuer or such transfer agent of 

10

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
seller’s and
  broker’s representation letters customarily delivered by Dealer in connection
  with resales of restricted securities pursuant to Rule 144 under the
  Securities Act, without any further requirement for the delivery of any
  certificate, consent, agreement, opinion of counsel, notice or any other
  document, any transfer tax stamps or payment of any other amount or any other
  action by Dealer (or such affiliate of Dealer).

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (D)
  Issuer shall not take, or cause to be taken, any action that would make
  unavailable either the exemption pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities
  Act for the sale by Issuer to Dealer (or any affiliate designated by Dealer)
  of the Shares or Share Termination Delivery Units, as the case may be, or the
  exemption pursuant to Section 4(1) or Section 4(3) of the Securities Act for
  resales of the Shares or Share Termination Delivery Units, as the case may
  be, by Dealer (or any such affiliate of Dealer).

          (c)
Make-whole. If Issuer makes the
election described in clause (b)(i)(B) of paragraph (b) of this Section 8, then
Dealer or its affiliate may sell such Shares or Share Termination Delivery
Units, as the case may be, during a period (the “Resale Period”) commencing on
the Exchange Business Day following delivery of such Shares or Share
Termination Delivery Units, as the case may be, and ending on the Exchange
Business Day on which Dealer completes the sale of all such Shares or Share
Termination Delivery Units, as the case may be, or a sufficient number of
Shares or Share Termination Delivery Units, as the case may be, so that the
realized net proceeds of such sales exceed the Freely Tradeable Value (such
amount of the Freely Tradeable Value, the “Required Proceeds”). If any of such
delivered Shares or Share Termination Delivery Units remain after such realized
net proceeds exceed the Required Proceeds, Dealer shall return such remaining
Shares or Share Termination Delivery Units to Issuer. If the Required Proceeds
exceed the realized net proceeds from such resale, Issuer shall transfer to
Dealer by the open of the regular trading session on the Exchange on the
Exchange Business Day immediately following the last day of the Resale Period
the amount of such excess (the “Additional Amount”) in cash or in a number
of additional Shares (“Make-whole Shares”) in an amount that,
based on the Relevant Price on the last day of the Resale Period (as if such
day was the “Valuation Date” for purposes of computing such Relevant Price),
has a dollar value equal to the Additional Amount. The Resale Period shall
continue to enable the sale of the Make-whole Shares in the manner contemplated
by this Section 8(c). This provision shall be applied successively until the
Additional Amount is equal to zero, subject to Section 8(e). 

          (d)
Beneficial
Ownership. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement
or this Confirmation, in no event shall Dealer be entitled to receive, or shall
be deemed to receive, any Shares if, upon such receipt of such Shares, the
“beneficial ownership” (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act
and the rules promulgated thereunder) of Shares by Dealer or any affiliate of
Dealer or other person subject to aggregation with Dealer under such Section 13
and rules (collectively, “Buyer Group”) would be equal to or greater
than 8.5% or more of the outstanding Shares. If any delivery owed to Dealer
hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision,
Issuer’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and Issuer
shall make such delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event
later than one Exchange Business Day after, Dealer gives notice to Issuer that
such delivery would not result in Buyer Group directly or indirectly so
beneficially owning in excess of 8.5% of the outstanding Shares.

(e) Limitations
on Settlement by Issuer. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the
Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Issuer be required to deliver
Shares in connection with the Transaction in excess of a number of Shares equal
to 1.2 times the aggregate Number of Shares for all Components (the “Capped
Number”). If at any time the Issuer does not have a number of
authorized but unissued Shares that are not reserved for future issuance in
connection with other transactions in the Shares (the “Available Shares”) that is
greater than the Capped Number, Issuer agrees to use its reasonable best
efforts to seek approval from its shareholders at the next meeting of shareholders,
or, if necessary, a subsequent meeting of shareholders, to increase the number
of authorized but unissued Shares and to reserve a number of Shares at least
equal to the Capped Number for settlement of this Transaction (the “Reserved
Shares”). If Issuer does not succeed in obtaining shareholder
approval for such an increase and so increasing the number of Reserved Shares
at or prior to its second annual meeting of shareholders following the Trade
Date, (i) the Number of Shares for each Component shall be automatically
increased by 10% and (ii) an Additional Termination Event shall occur with
respect to which the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and
Issuer shall be the sole Affected Party; provided
however that if such shareholder approval is obtained and such
increase in the number of Reserved Shares occurs after Issuer’s second annual
meeting of shareholders but before the earlier of the Expiration Date for such
Component and any earlier date that Dealer has designated as an Early Termination
Date or other date for cancellation or termination of the Transaction, the
Additional Termination Event arising from such prior failure to obtain
shareholder approval or failure to increase the number of Reserved Shares shall
cease to exist. For the avoidance of doubt Dealer shall have no obligation to
exercise its right pursuant to such Additional Termination Event, such right
will be an ongoing right until Issuer has 

11

obtained such
approval from its shareholders for such an increase in the number of Available
Shares and has so increased the number of Reserved Shares, and such right will
automatically terminate upon Issuer obtaining such shareholder approval for
such an increase and so increasing the number of Reserved Shares. Unless  the
number of Reserved Shares is at least equal to the Capped Number, Issuer shall
not retire any Shares that are repurchased, acquired or otherwise received by
Issuer or any of its subsidiaries from any persons (whether or not in exchange
for cash, fair value or any other consideration, and including, for the
avoidance of doubt, any Shares received in settlement of any option or other
derivative transaction) (such Shares, “Acquired Shares”) or issue or deliver or
agree to issue or deliver any Acquired Shares to any person other than Issuer
except that such Acquired Shares may be used to settle this Transaction and any
other warrant transactions entered into between Issuer and Dealer or Lehman OTC
on the Trade Date.

          (f) Right to
Extend. Dealer may postpone any Exercise 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
Number of Shares to be Delivered with respect to one or more Components), if
Dealer determines, in its commercially reasonable discretion, that such
extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate (i) to preserve Dealer’s
hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity
conditions or (ii) to enable Dealer to effect purchases of Shares in connection
with its hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner
that would, if Dealer were Issuer or an affiliated purchaser of Issuer, be in
compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements,
or with related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer.

          (g)
Equity
Rights. Dealer acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not
intended to convey to it rights with respect to the Transaction that are senior
to the claims of common stockholders in the event of Issuer’s bankruptcy. For
the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that the preceding sentence shall not
apply at any time other than during Issuer’s bankruptcy to any claim arising as
a result of a breach by Issuer of any of its obligations under this
Confirmation or the Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties
acknowledge that this Confirmation is not secured by any collateral that would
otherwise secure the obligations of Issuer herein under or pursuant to any
other agreement.

          (h)
Amendments
to Equity Definitions and the Agreement. The following amendments
shall be made to the Equity Definitions and to the Agreement:

  the Equity Definitions, prior to clause (A) thereof, is hereby amended to
  read as follows: ‘(c) If “Calculation Agent Adjustment” is specified as the
  Method of Adjustment in the related Confirmation of a Share Option
  Transaction, then following the announcement or occurrence of any Potential
  Adjustment Event, the Calculation Agent will determine whether such Potential
  Adjustment Event has a material effect on the theoretical value of the
  relevant Shares or options on the Shares and, if so, will (i) make
  appropriate adjustment(s), if any, to any one or more of:’ and, the portion
  of such sentence immediately preceding clause (ii) thereof is hereby amended
  by deleting the words “diluting or concentrative” and the words “(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 such latter phrase with the words “(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)”; 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (ii)  Section 11.2(e)(vii) of the Equity
  Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the words “diluting or
  concentrative” and replacing them with “material”;

	
 

	
 

	
 

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

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

	
 
	
 
	
 

	
 
	
 
	                    (B)
    (1) deleting subsection (C) in its entirety, (2) deleting the word “or”
  immediately preceding subsection (C) and (3) deleting the final two sentences
  in its entirety and replacing it with the sentence “The Hedging Party

12

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
hereunder
  governing the conduct of the Calculation Agent) the Cancellation Amount
  payable by one party to the other.”

          (i)
Transfer
and Assignment. Dealer may transfer or assign its rights and
obligations under the Transaction with the prior written consent of the Issuer,
such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Dealer may transfer or assign its rights and obligations hereunder and under the
Agreement, in whole or in part, without the consent of the Issuer to (i) any of
its affiliates or (ii) any entities sponsored or organized by, or on behalf of
or for the benefit of Dealer. 

          (j)
Disclosure.
Effective from the date of commencement of discussions concerning the
Transaction, Issuer 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 Issuer relating
to such tax treatment and tax structure.

          (k)
Designation
by Dealer. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation
to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or
deliver any Shares or other securities to or from Issuer, Dealer may designate
any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such shares or
other securities and otherwise to perform Dealer obligations in respect of the
Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be
discharged of its obligations to Issuer to the extent of any such performance.

          (l)
Additional Termination Events.
The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an Additional
Termination Event with respect to which the Transaction shall be the sole
Affected Transaction and Issuer shall be the sole Affected Party; provided
that with respect to any Additional Termination Event, Dealer may choose to
treat part of the Transaction as the sole Affected Transaction, and, upon the
termination of the Affected Transaction, a Transaction with terms identical to
those set forth herein except with a Number of Warrants equal to the unaffected
number of Warrants shall be treated for all purposes as the Transaction, which
shall remain in full force and effect:

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (i)
  Dealer reasonably determines that it is advisable to terminate a portion of
  the Transaction so that Dealer’s related hedging activities will comply with
  applicable securities laws, rules or regulations;

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (ii)
  any Person (as defined below) acquires beneficial ownership (determined in
  accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly,
  through a purchase, merger or other acquisition transaction or series of
  transactions, of Shares entitling the Person to exercise 50% or more of the
  total voting power of all shares of Issuer’s capital stock entitled to vote
  generally in elections of directors, other than an acquisition by Issuer, any
  of Issuer’s subsidiaries or any of Issuer’s employee benefit plans; 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (iii)
  Issuer (x) merges or consolidates with or into any other Person, other than a
  subsidiary of Issuer, another Person merges with or into Issuer, or Issuer
  conveys, sells, transfers or leases all or substantially all of its assets to
  another Person or (y) engages in any recapitalization, reclassification or
  other transaction in which all or substantially all Shares are exchanged for
  or converted into cash, securities or other property, in each case, other
  than any merger or consolidation: 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
(A)

	
that does
  not result in a reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of the
  outstanding Shares; 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
(B)

	
pursuant to which
  the consideration received by holders of Shares immediately prior to the
  transaction entitles such holders to exercise, directly or indirectly, 50% or
  more of the voting power of all shares of capital stock entitled to vote
  generally in the election of directors of either (x) the continuing or
  surviving corporation or (y) a corporation that directly or indirectly owns
  100% of the capital stock of such continuing or surviving corporation, in
  either case, immediately after such transaction; 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
(C)

	
which is
  effected solely to change Issuer’s jurisdiction of incorporation and results
  in a reclassification, conversion or exchange of the outstanding Shares
  solely into shares of common stock of the surviving entity; or

13

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (iv)
  at any time Issuer’s Continuing Directors (as defined below) do not
  constitute a majority of Issuer’s board of directors (or, if applicable, a
  successor Person to Issuer);

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (v)
  if less than 25% of the outstanding shares of common stock is beneficially
  owned by persons other than a Permitted      Holder (as discussed below); or

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (vi)
  an Additional Termination Event which arises as provided and subject to
  cessation as described in
Section 8(e).

          Notwithstanding
the foregoing, a transaction set forth in clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) above will
not constitute an Additional Termination Event if at least 90% of the
consideration paid for the Shares (excluding cash payments for fractional
shares and cash payments made pursuant to dissenters’ appraisal rights and cash
dividends) in such merger or consolidation or such other transaction otherwise
constituting an Additional Termination Event under clause (iii) above consists
of shares of capital stock or American Depositary Receipts in respect of shares
of capital stock traded on any of the New York Stock Exchange, the American
Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ Global Select Market or the NASDAQ Global Market (or
any of their respective successors) (or will be so traded or quoted immediately
following the completion of the merger or consolidation or such other
transaction).

          “Person”
includes any syndicate or group that would be deemed to be a “person” under
Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act.

          “Continuing
Directors” means a directors who either were members of the Issuer’s
board of directors on the date hereof or who become members of the Issuer’s
board of directors subsequent to the date hereof and whose appointment,
election or nomination for election by the Issuer’s shareholders is duly
approved by a majority of the Continuing Directors on the Issuer’s board of
directors at the time of such approval, either by specific vote or by approval
of the proxy statement issued by the Issuer on behalf of the board of directors
in which such individuals are named as nominees for director.

          
“Permitted
Holder” means (1) Tengelmann Warenhandelsgesellschaft, a partnership
organized under the laws of Germany (“Tengelmann”),
(2) each Affiliate of Tengelmann, (3) each partner of Tengelmann and the
respective members of their immediate families and (4) any trust, corporation,
partnership or other entity, the beneficiaries, stockholders, partners, owners
or Persons beneficially holding a majority or more controlling interest of
which consist of any one or more of the Persons described in the preceding
clauses (1), (2) and (3).

          (m)
Netting
and Set-off. 

	
 

	
 

	
 

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

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (ii)
  In addition to and without limiting any rights of set-off that a party hereto
  may have as a matter of law, pursuant to contract or otherwise, upon the
  occurrence of an Early Termination Date, Dealer shall have the right to
  terminate, liquidate and otherwise close out the Transaction and to set off
  any obligation or right that Dealer or any affiliate of Dealer may have to or
  against Issuer hereunder or under the Agreement against any right or
  obligation Dealer or any of its affiliates may have against or to Issuer,
  including without limitation any right to receive a payment or delivery
  pursuant to any provision of the Agreement or hereunder. In the case of a
  set-off of any obligation to release, deliver or pay assets against any right
  to receive assets of the same type, such obligation and right shall be set
  off in kind. In the case of a set-off of any obligation to release, deliver
  or pay assets against any right to receive assets of any other type, the
  value of each of such obligation and such right shall be determined by the Calculation
  Agent and the result of such set-off shall be that the net 

14

	
 

	
 

	
 

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

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (iii)
  Issuer shall not net or set off its obligations, if any, under the
  Transaction against its rights against Dealer under any other transaction or
  instrument. Dealer shall not net or set off its obligations, if any, under
  the Transaction against its rights against Issuer under any other transaction
  or instrument.

	
 

	
 

          (n)
Effectiveness. If, prior to the
Effective Date, Dealer reasonably determines that it is advisable to cancel the
Transaction because of concerns that Dealer’s related hedging activities could
be viewed as not complying with applicable securities laws, rules or
regulations, the Transaction shall be cancelled and shall not become effective,
and neither party shall have any obligation to the other party in respect of
the Transaction.

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

          (p)
Governing
Law. THIS CONFIRMATION SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE
COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE UNITED STATES COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN
DISTRICT OF NEW YORK IN CONNECTION WITH ALL MATTERS RELATING HERETO AND WAIVE
ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE IN, AND ANY CLAIM OF INCONVENIENT FORUM
WITH RESPECT TO, THESE COURTS.

 Warrant Transaction (2012)

	
 

	
(Transaction
 Reference Number: NY-32868)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          The
purpose of this communication (this “Confirmation”) is to set forth the terms
and conditions of the above-referenced transaction entered into on the Trade
Date specified below (the “Transaction”) between Bank of America, N.A.
(“Dealer”)
and The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company, Inc. (“Issuer”). This communication
constitutes a “Confirmation” as referred to in the ISDA Master Agreement
specified below. 

          1.
This Confirmation is subject to, and incorporates, the definitions and
provisions of the 2000 ISDA Definitions (including the Annex thereto) (the “2000
Definitions”) and the definitions and provisions of the 2002 ISDA
Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “Equity Definitions”, and together with the
2000 Definitions, the “Definitions”), in each case as published by
the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”).
In the event of any inconsistency between the 2000 Definitions and the Equity
Definitions, the Equity Definitions will govern. For purposes of the Equity
Definitions, each reference herein to a Warrant shall be deemed to be a
reference to a Call Option or an Option, as context requires.

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

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

          2.
The Transaction 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:

Expiration Date:

	
 

	
As provided in Annex A to this Confirmation
 (or, if such date is not a Scheduled Trading Day, the next following
 Scheduled Trading Day that is not already an Expiration Date for another
 Component); provided that if
 that date is a Disrupted Day, the Expiration Date for such Component shall be
 the first succeeding Scheduled Trading Day that is not a Disrupted Day and is
 not or is not deemed to be an Expiration Date in respect of any other
 Component of the Transaction hereunder; and provided
 further that if the Expiration Date has not occurred pursuant to
 the preceding proviso as of the Final Disruption Date, the Final Disruption
 Date shall be the Expiration Date (irrespective of whether such date is an
 Expiration Date occurring on the Final Disruption Date in respect of any
 other Component for the Transaction) and, notwithstanding anything to the
 contrary in this Confirmation or the Definitions, the Relevant Price for the
 Expiration Date shall be the prevailing market value per Share determined in
 good faith by the Calculation Agent in a commercially reasonable manner. “Final
 Disruption Date” means ten Exchange Business Days after July 24,
 2013. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary in the
 Equity Definitions, if a Market Disruption Event occurs on any Expiration
 Date, the Calculation Agent may determine that such Expiration Date is a
 Disrupted Day only in part, in which case the Calculation Agent shall make
 adjustments to the number of Warrants for the relevant Component for which
 such day shall be the Expiration Date and shall designate the 

2

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
Scheduled Trading Day determined in the manner
 described in the immediately preceding sentence as the Expiration Date for
 the remaining Warrants for such Component. Section 6.6 of the Equity
 Definitions shall not apply to any Valuation Date occurring on an Expiration
 Date.

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
Market Disruption Event:

 amended by deleting the words “during the one hour period that ends at the
 relevant Valuation Time, Latest Exercise Time, Knock-in Valuation Time or
 Knock-out Valuation Time, as the case may be,” in clause (ii) thereof. 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
Automatic Exercise:

	
 

	
Applicable; and means that the Number of Warrants
 for each Component will be deemed to be automatically exercised at the Expiration Time on the Expiration
 Date for such Component unless Dealer notifies Seller (by telephone or in
 writing) prior to the Expiration Time on the Expiration Date that it does not
 wish Automatic Exercise to occur, in which case Automatic Exercise will not
 apply.

 provided further that
 references in the Equity Definitions to “Physical Settlement” shall be deemed

 elects Cash Settlement or Cash Settlement becomes the Default Settlement
 Method, the Issuer shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide Dealer
 with a written statement that the representations contained in paragraphs
 (a)(i) and (a)(iv) of “Representations, Warranties and Agreements” below

Five Scheduled Trading Days prior to, and including,
 the scheduled Expiration Date for the Component with the earliest scheduled
 Expiration Date.

Net Share Settlement; provided that, unless on the Settlement
    Method Election Date, the number of Reserved Shares, as defined in Section
    8(e), is at least equal to the Capped Number, as defined in Section 8(e),
    the Default Settlement Method shall be Cash Settlement; provided further that
    if the default settlement method applicable to warrant transactions entered
    into between the Issuer and Lehman Brothers OTC Derivatives Inc. (“Lehman
 OTC”) on the Trade Date becomes cash settlement pursuant to a
 proviso identical to the proceeding proviso, the Default Settlement Method
 hereunder shall be Cash Settlement.

 Date for any reason, as reasonably determined by the Calculation Agent.

On each Settlement Date, Issuer shall deliver to
 Dealer a number of Shares equal to the Number of Shares to be Delivered for
 such Settlement Date to the account specified by Dealer and cash in lieu of
 any fractional shares valued at the Relevant Price on the Valuation Date
 corresponding to such Settlement Date.

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
Number of Shares to be Delivered:

	
 

	
In respect of any Exercise Date, subject to the last
 sentence of Section 9.5 of the Equity Definitions, the product of (i) the
 number of Warrants exercised or deemed exercised on such Exercise Date, (ii)
 the Warrant Entitlement and (iii) (A) the excess of the VWAP Price on the
 Valuation Date occurring on such Exercise Date over the Strike Price divided by
 (B) such VWAP Price.

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
The Number of Shares to be Delivered shall be
 delivered by Issuer to Dealer no later than 4:00 P.M. (local time in New York

Other Applicable Provisions:

	
 

	
The provisions of Sections 9.1(c), 9.8, 9.9, 9.10,
 9.11 (except that the Representation and Agreement contained in Section 9.11
 of the Equity Definitions shall be modified by excluding any representations
 therein relating to restrictions, obligations, limitations or requirements
 under applicable securities laws as a result of the fact that Seller is the

 Agent Adjustment:

	
 

	

 If, in respect of any Merger Event or Tender Offer to which Modified
 Calculation Agent Adjustment applies, the adjustments to be made in
 accordance with Section 12.2(e)(i) or Section 12.3(d)(i), as the case may be,
 of the Equity Definitions would result in Issuer being different from the
 issuer of the Shares, then with respect to such Merger Event or Tender Offer,
 as a condition precedent to the adjustments contemplated in Section
 12.2(e)(i) or Section 12.3(d)(i), as the case may be, of the Equity
 Definitions, Issuer and the issuer of the Shares shall, prior to the Merger
 Date or Tender Offer, as the case may be, have entered into such
 documentation containing representations, warranties and agreements relating
 to securities law and other issues as requested by Dealer that Dealer has
 determined, in its commercially reasonable discretion, to be reasonably
 necessary or appropriate to allow Dealer to continue as a party to the
 Transaction, as adjusted under Section 12.2(e)(i) or Section 12.3(d)(i), as
 the case may be, of the Equity Definitions, and to preserve its hedging or
 hedge unwind activities in connection with the Transaction in a manner
 compliant with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements,
 or with related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer, and if such
 conditions are not met or if the Calculation Agent determines that no
 adjustment that it could make under Section 12.2(e)(i) or Section 12.3(d)(i),
 as the case may be, of the Equity Definitions will produce a commercially
 reasonable result, then the consequences set forth in Section 12.2(e)(ii) or
 Section 12.3(d)(ii), as the case may be, of the Equity Definitions shall
 apply.

 the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global
 Select Market or The NASDAQ Global Market (or their respective successors);

Representations, Warranties and Agreements:

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (a)
 In addition to the representations and warranties in the Agreement and those
 contained elsewhere herein, Issuer represents and warrants to and for the
 benefit of, and agrees with, Dealer as follows:

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (i)
 On the Trade Date, (A) none of Issuer and its officers and directors is aware
 of any material nonpublic information regarding Issuer or the Shares and (B)
 all reports and other documents filed by Issuer with the Securities and
 Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
 amended (the “Exchange Act”), when considered as a whole (with the more
 recent such reports and documents deemed to amend inconsistent statements
 contained in any earlier such reports and documents), do not contain any
 untrue statement of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required
 to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the
 light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (ii)
 Without limiting the generality of Section 13.1 of the Equity Definitions,
 Issuer acknowledges that Dealer is not making any representations or
 warranties with respect to the treatment of the Transaction under FASB
 Statements 133, as amended, or 150, EITF Issue No. 00-19 (or any successor
 issue statements) or under FASB’s Liabilities & Equity Project.

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (iii)
 Prior to the Trade Date, Issuer shall deliver to Dealer a resolution of
 Issuer’s board of directors authorizing the Transaction and such other
 certificate or certificates as Dealer shall reasonably request.

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

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

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (v)
 Issuer is not, and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated
 hereby will not be, an “investment company” as such term is defined in the
 Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (vi)
 On the Trade Date (A) the assets of Issuer at their fair valuation exceed the
 liabilities of Issuer, including contingent liabilities, (B) the capital of
 Issuer is adequate to conduct the business of Issuer and (C) Issuer has the
 ability to pay its debts and obligations as such debts mature and does not
 intend to, or does not believe that it will, incur debt beyond its ability to
 pay as such debts mature.

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (vii)
 Issuer shall not take any action to decrease the number of Available Shares
 below the Capped Number (each as defined below).

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (viii)
 The representations and warranties of Issuer set forth in Section 3 of the
 Agreement and Sections 1 and 3 of the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting
 Agreement”) dated as of December 12, 

7

 Brothers Inc., as representatives of the underwriters party thereto are true
 and correct and are hereby deemed to be repeated to Dealer as if set forth
 herein.

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

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

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (x)
 (A) During the period starting on the first Expiration Date and ending on the
 last Expiration Date (the “Settlement Period”), the Shares or
 securities that are convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for Shares,
 are not, and shall not be, subject to a “restricted period,” as such term is
 defined in Regulation M under the Exchange Act (“Regulation M”) and (B)
 Issuer shall not engage in any “distribution,” as such term is defined in
 Regulation M, other than a distribution meeting the requirements of the
 exceptions set forth in sections 101(b)(10) and 102(b)(7) of Regulation M,
 until the second Exchange Business Day immediately following the Settlement
 Period.

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (xi)
 During the Settlement Period, neither Issuer nor any “affiliate” or
 “affiliated purchaser” (each as defined in Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act (“Rule
 10b-18”)) shall directly or indirectly (including, without
 limitation, by means of any cash-settled or other derivative instrument)
 purchase, offer to purchase, place any bid or limit order that would effect a
 purchase of, or commence any tender offer relating to, any Shares (or an
 equivalent interest, including a unit of beneficial interest in a trust or
 limited partnership or a depository share) or any security convertible into
 or exchangeable or exercisable for Shares, except through Dealer.

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (xii)
 As of the Trade Date, the Issuer has not entered into any obligation that
 would contractually limit it from effecting Cash Settlement or Net Share
 Settlement under the Transaction.

	
 

	
 

	
          (b)
 Each of Dealer and Issuer agrees and represents that it is an “eligible
 contract participant” as defined in Section 1a(12) of the U.S. Commodity
 Exchange Act, as amended.

	
 

	
 

	
          (c)
 Each of Dealer and Issuer acknowledges that the offer and sale of the
 Transaction to it is intended to be exempt from registration under the
 Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), by virtue of Section
 4(2) thereof. Accordingly, Dealer represents and warrants to Issuer that (i)
 it has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of its investment in
 the Transaction and is able to bear a total loss of its investment, (ii) it
 is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Regulation D as
 promulgated under the Securities Act, (iii) it is entering into the
 Transaction for its own account without a view to the distribution or resale
 thereof and (iv) the assignment, transfer or other disposition of the
 Transaction has not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act
 and is restricted under this Confirmation, the Securities Act and state
 securities laws.

	
 

	
 

	
          (d)
 Each of Dealer and Issuer agrees and acknowledges that Dealer is a “financial
 institution,” “swap participant” and “financial participant” within the
 meaning of Sections 101(22), 101(53C) and 101(22A) of Title 11 of the United
 States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”). The parties hereto
 further agree and acknowledge (A) that this Confirmation is (i) a “securities
 contract,” as such term is defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code,
 with respect to which each payment and delivery hereunder is a “settlement
 payment,” as such term is defined in Section 741(8) of the Bankruptcy Code,
 and (ii) a “swap agreement,” as such term is defined in Section 101(53B) of
 the Bankruptcy Code, with respect to which each payment and delivery
 hereunder is a “transfer,” as such term is defined in Section 101(54) of the
 Bankruptcy Code, and (B) that Dealer is entitled to the protections afforded
 by, among other sections, Section 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 546(e), 546(g), 555
 and 560 of the Bankruptcy Code.

	
 

	
 

	
          (e)
 Issuer shall deliver to Dealer an opinion of counsel, dated as of the Trade
 Date and reasonably acceptable to Dealer in form and substance (subject to
 customary qualifications, assumptions and exceptions), with respect to the
 matters set forth in Section 3(a) of the Agreement.

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
8. Other Provisions:

	
 

	
 

	
          (a)
 Alternative
 Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary
 Events. If, subject to Section 8(l) below, Issuer shall owe Dealer
 any amount pursuant to Sections 12.2, 12.3, 12.6, 12.7 or 12.9 of the Equity
 Definitions (except in the event of an Insolvency, a Nationalization, a
 Tender Offer or a Merger Event, in each case, in which the consideration or
 proceeds to be paid to holders of Shares consists solely of cash) or pursuant
 to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (except in the event of an Event of
 Default in which Issuer is the Defaulting Party or a Termination Event in
 which Issuer is the Affected Party, that resulted from an event or events
 within Issuer’s control) (a “Payment Obligation”), Issuer shall have
 the right, in its sole discretion, to satisfy any such Payment Obligation by
 the Share Termination Alternative (as defined below) by giving irrevocable
 telephonic notice to Dealer, confirmed in writing 

8

	
 

	
 

	
within one Scheduled Trading Day, between the hours
 of 9:00 A.M. and 4:00 P.M. New York City time on the Merger Date, Tender
 Offer Date, Announcement Date or Early Termination Date, as applicable (“Notice of
 Share Termination”). Upon such Notice of Share Termination, the
 following provisions shall apply on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately
 following the Merger Date, the Tender Offer Date, Announcement Date or Early
 Termination Date, as applicable:

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
Share Termination Alternative:

	
 

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

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
Share Termination Delivery

 Property:

	
 

	

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

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
Share Termination Unit Price:

	
 

	
The value of property contained in one Share
 Termination Delivery Unit on the date such Share Termination Delivery Units
 are to be delivered as Share Termination Delivery Property, as determined by
 the Calculation Agent in its discretion by commercially reasonable means and
 notified by the Calculation Agent to Issuer at the time of notification of
 the Payment Obligation. 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
Share Termination Delivery Unit:

	
 

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

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
Failure to Deliver:

	
 

	
Applicable

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
Other applicable provisions:

	
 

	
If Share Termination Alternative is applicable, the
 provisions of Sections 9.1(c), 9.8, 9.9, 9.10, 9.11 (except that the
 Representation and Agreement contained in Section 9.11 of the Equity
 Definitions shall be modified by excluding any representations therein
 relating to restrictions, obligations, limitations or requirements under
 applicable securities laws as a result of the fact that Seller is the Issuer
 of the Shares) and 9.12 of the Equity Definitions will be applicable as if
 “Physical Settlement” applied to the Transaction, except that all references
 to “Shares” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Delivery
 Units”. 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (b)
 Registration/Private
 Placement Procedures. (i) If, in the commercially reasonable
 judgment of Dealer, for any reason, any Shares or any securities of Issuer or
 its affiliates comprising any Share Termination Delivery Units deliverable to
 Dealer hereunder (any such Shares or securities, “Delivered Securities”)
 would not be immediately freely transferable by Dealer under the provisions
 of Rule 144 of the Securities Act, as may be amended from time to time
 (including the amendment adopted on November 15, 2007 pursuant to Release No.
 33-8869) applicable to sales of restricted securities by non-affiliates of an
 issuer, then the provisions set forth in this Section 8(b) shall apply. At
 the election of Issuer by notice to Dealer within one Exchange Business Day
 after the relevant delivery obligation arises, but in any event at least one
 Exchange Business Day prior to the date on which such delivery obligation is
 due, either (A) all Delivered Securities delivered by Issuer to Dealer shall
 be, at the time of such delivery, covered by an effective registration
 statement of Issuer for immediate resale by Dealer (such registration
 statement and the corresponding prospectus (the “Prospectus”) (including,
 without limitation, any sections describing the plan of distribution) in form
 and content commercially reasonably satisfactory to Dealer) or (B) Issuer
 shall deliver additional Delivered Securities so that the value of such
 Delivered Securities, as determined by the Calculation Agent to reflect an
 appropriate liquidity 

9

	
 

	
 

	
discount, equals the value of the number of
 Delivered Securities that would otherwise be deliverable if such Delivered
 Securities were freely tradeable (without prospectus delivery) upon receipt
 by Dealer (such value, the “Freely Tradeable Value”); provided that Issuer may not make the
 election described in this clause (B) if, on the date of its election, it has
 taken, or caused to be taken, any action that would make unavailable either
 the exemption pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for the delivery
 by Issuer to Dealer (or any affiliate designated by Dealer) of the Delivered
 Securities or the exemption pursuant to Section 4(1) or Section 4(3) of the
 Securities Act for resales of the Delivered Securities by Dealer (or any such
 affiliate of Dealer). (For the avoidance of doubt, as used in this paragraph
 (b) only, the term “Issuer” shall mean the issuer of the relevant securities,
 as the context shall require.)

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
(ii) If Issuer makes the election described in
 clause (b)(i)(A) above:

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (A)
 Dealer (or an Affiliate of Dealer designated by Dealer) shall be afforded a
 reasonable opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation with respect
 to Issuer that is customary in scope for underwritten offerings of equity
 securities and that yields results that are commercially reasonably
 satisfactory to Dealer or such Affiliate, as the case may be, in its
 commercially reasonable discretion; and

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (B)
 Dealer (or an Affiliate of Dealer designated by Dealer) and Issuer shall
 enter into an agreement (a “Registration Agreement”) on commercially
 reasonable terms in connection with the public resale of such Delivered
 Securities by Dealer or such Affiliate substantially similar to underwriting
 agreements customary for underwritten offerings of equity securities, in form
 and substance commercially reasonably satisfactory to Dealer or such
 Affiliate and Issuer, which Registration Agreement shall include, without
 limitation, provisions substantially similar to those contained in such
 underwriting agreements relating to the indemnification of, and contribution
 in connection with the liability of, Dealer and its Affiliates and Issuer,
 shall provide for the payment by Issuer of all reasonable expenses in
 connection with such resale, including all registration costs and all
 reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for Dealer, and shall provide for the
 delivery of accountants’ “comfort letters” to Dealer or such Affiliate with
 respect to the financial statements and certain financial information
 contained in or incorporated by reference into the Prospectus.

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
(iii) If Issuer makes the election described in
 clause (b)(i)(B) above:

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (A)
 Dealer (or an Affiliate of Dealer designated by Dealer) and any potential
 institutional purchaser of any such Delivered Securities from Dealer or such
 Affiliate identified by Dealer shall be afforded a commercially reasonable
 opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation in compliance with
 applicable law with respect to Issuer customary in scope for private placements
 of equity securities (including, without limitation, the right to have made
 available to them for inspection all financial and other records, pertinent
 corporate documents and other information reasonably requested by them); 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (B)
 Dealer (or an Affiliate of Dealer designated by Dealer) and Issuer shall
 enter into an agreement (a “Private Placement Agreement”) on
 commercially reasonable terms in connection with the private placement of
 such Delivered Securities by Issuer to Dealer or such Affiliate and the
 private resale of such shares by Dealer or such Affiliate, substantially
 similar to private placement purchase agreements customary for private
 placements of equity securities, in form and substance commercially
 reasonably satisfactory to Dealer and Issuer, which Private Placement
 Agreement shall include, without limitation, provisions substantially similar
 to those contained in such private placement purchase agreements relating to
 the indemnification of, and contribution in connection with the liability of,
 Dealer and its Affiliates and Issuer, shall provide for the payment by Issuer
 of all reasonable expenses in connection with such resale, including all
 reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for Dealer, shall contain representations,
 warranties and agreements of Issuer reasonably necessary or advisable to
 establish and maintain the availability of an exemption from the registration
 requirements of the Securities Act for such resales, and shall use best
 efforts to provide for the delivery of accountants’ “comfort letters” to
 Dealer or such Affiliate with respect to the financial statements and certain
 financial information contained in or incorporated by reference into the
 offering memorandum prepared for the resale of such Shares; and

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (C)
 Issuer agrees that any Delivered Securities so delivered to Dealer, (i) may
 be transferred by and among Dealer and its Affiliates, and Issuer shall
 effect such transfer without any further action by Dealer and (ii) after the
 minimum “holding period” within the meaning of Rule 144(d) under the
 Securities Act has elapsed with respect to such Delivered Securities, Issuer
 shall promptly remove, or cause the transfer agent for such Shares or
 securities to remove, any legends referring to any such restrictions or
 requirements from such Delivered Securities upon delivery by Dealer (or such
 Affiliate of Dealer) to Issuer or such transfer agent of 

10

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
seller’s and broker’s representation letters
 customarily delivered by Dealer in connection with resales of restricted
 securities pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, without any further
 requirement for the delivery of any certificate, consent, agreement, opinion
 of counsel, notice or any other document, any transfer tax stamps or payment
 of any other amount or any other action by Dealer (or such affiliate of
 Dealer).

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (D)
 Issuer shall not take, or cause to be taken, any action that would make
 unavailable either the exemption pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act
 for the sale by Issuer to Dealer (or any affiliate designated by Dealer) of
 the Shares or Share Termination Delivery Units, as the case may be, or the
 exemption pursuant to Section 4(1) or Section 4(3) of the Securities Act for
 resales of the Shares or Share Termination Delivery Units, as the case may
 be, by Dealer (or any such affiliate of Dealer).

	
 

	
 

	
          (c)
 Make-whole. If Issuer makes the
 election described in clause (b)(i)(B) of paragraph (b) of this Section 8,
 then Dealer or its affiliate may sell such Shares or Share Termination
 Delivery Units, as the case may be, during a period (the “Resale
 Period”) commencing on the Exchange Business Day following
 delivery of such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Units, as the case may
 be, and ending on the Exchange Business Day on which Dealer completes the
 sale of all such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Units, as the case may
 be, or a sufficient number of Shares or Share Termination Delivery Units, as
 the case may be, so that the realized net proceeds of such sales exceed the
 Freely Tradeable Value (such amount of the Freely Tradeable Value, the “Required
 Proceeds”). If any of such delivered Shares or Share Termination
 Delivery Units remain after such realized net proceeds exceed the Required
 Proceeds, Dealer shall return such remaining Shares or Share Termination
 Delivery Units to Issuer. If the Required Proceeds exceed the realized net
 proceeds from such resale, Issuer shall transfer to Dealer by the open of the
 regular trading session on the Exchange on the Exchange Business Day
 immediately following the last day of the Resale Period the amount of such
 excess (the “Additional Amount”) in cash or in a number of additional
 Shares (“Make-whole Shares”) in an amount that, based on the Relevant
 Price on the last day of the Resale Period (as if such day was the “Valuation
 Date” for purposes of computing such Relevant Price), has a dollar value
 equal to the Additional Amount. The Resale Period shall continue to enable
 the sale of the Make-whole Shares in the manner contemplated by this Section
 8(c). This provision shall be applied successively until the Additional
 Amount is equal to zero, subject to Section 8(e). 

	
 

	
 

	
          (d)
 Beneficial
 Ownership. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement
 or this Confirmation, in no event shall Dealer be entitled to receive, or
 shall be deemed to receive, any Shares if, upon such receipt of such Shares,
 the “beneficial ownership” (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange
 Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) of Shares by Dealer or any
 affiliate of Dealer or other person subject to aggregation with Dealer under
 such Section 13 and rules (collectively, “Buyer Group”) would be
 equal to or greater than 8.5% or more of the outstanding Shares. If any
 delivery owed to Dealer hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a
 result of this provision, Issuer’s obligation to make such delivery shall not
 be extinguished and Issuer shall make such delivery as promptly as
 practicable after, but in no event later than one Exchange Business Day
 after, Dealer gives notice to Issuer that such delivery would not result in
 Buyer Group directly or indirectly so beneficially owning in excess of 8.5%
 of the outstanding Shares.

	
 

	
 

	
          (e)
 Limitations
 on Settlement by Issuer. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the
 Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Issuer be required to deliver
 Shares in connection with the Transaction in excess of a number of Shares
 equal to 1.2 times the aggregate Number of Shares for all Components (the “Capped
 Number”). If at any time the Issuer does not have a number of
 authorized but unissued Shares that are not reserved for future issuance in
 connection with other transactions in the Shares (the “Available Shares”) that is
 greater than the Capped Number, Issuer agrees to use its reasonable best
 efforts to seek approval from its shareholders at the next meeting of
 shareholders, or, if necessary, a subsequent meeting of shareholders, to
 increase the number of authorized but unissued Shares and to reserve a number
 of Shares at least equal to the Capped Number for settlement of this
 Transaction (the “Reserved Shares”). If Issuer does not
 succeed in obtaining shareholder approval for such an increase and so
 increasing the number of Reserved Shares at or prior to its second annual
 meeting of shareholders following the Trade Date, (i) the Number of
 Shares for each Component shall be automatically increased by 10% and
 (ii) an Additional Termination Event shall occur with respect to which
 the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and Issuer shall be
 the sole Affected Party; provided however that
 if such shareholder approval is obtained and such increase in the number of
 Reserved Shares occurs after Issuer’s second annual meeting of shareholders
 but before the earlier of the Expiration Date for such Component and any
 earlier date that Dealer has designated as an Early Termination Date or other
 date for cancellation or termination of the Transaction, the Additional
 Termination Event arising from such prior failure to obtain shareholder
 approval or failure to increase the number of Reserved Shares shall cease to
 exist. For the avoidance of doubt Dealer shall have no obligation to exercise
 its right pursuant to such Additional Termination Event, such right will be
 an ongoing right until Issuer has 

11

	
 

	
obtained such approval from its shareholders for
 such an increase in the number of Available Shares and has so increased the
 number of Reserved Shares, and such right will automatically terminate upon
 Issuer obtaining such shareholder approval for such an increase and so
 increasing the number of Reserved Shares. Unless and the number of Reserved
 Shares is at least equal to the Capped Number, Issuer shall not retire any
 Shares that are repurchased, acquired or otherwise received by Issuer or any
 of its subsidiaries from any persons (whether or not in exchange for cash,
 fair value or any other consideration, and including, for the avoidance of
 doubt, any Shares received in settlement of any option or other derivative
 transaction) (such Shares, “Acquired Shares”) or issue or deliver or
 agree to issue or deliver any Acquired Shares to any person other than Issuer
 except that such Acquired Shares may be used to settle this Transaction and
 any other warrant transactions entered into between Issuer and Dealer or
 Lehman OTC on the Trade Date.

	
 

	
          (f)
 Right
 to Extend. Dealer may postpone any Exercise 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 Number of Shares to be Delivered with respect to one or more Components),
 if Dealer determines, in its commercially reasonable discretion, that such
 extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate (i) to preserve Dealer’s
 hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity
 conditions or (ii) to enable Dealer to effect purchases of Shares in
 connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in
 a manner that would, if Dealer were Issuer or an affiliated purchaser of
 Issuer, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory
 requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer.

	
 

	
          (g)
 Equity
 Rights. Dealer acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is
 not intended to convey to it rights with respect to the Transaction that are
 senior to the claims of common stockholders in the event of Issuer’s
 bankruptcy. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that the preceding
 sentence shall not apply at any time other than during Issuer’s bankruptcy to
 any claim arising as a result of a breach by Issuer of any of its obligations
 under this Confirmation or the Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the
 parties acknowledge that this Confirmation is not secured by any collateral
 that would otherwise secure the obligations of Issuer herein under or
 pursuant to any other agreement.

	
 

	
          (h)
 Amendments
 to Equity Definitions and the Agreement. The following amendments
 shall be made to the Equity Definitions and to the Agreement:

 The first sentence of Section 11.2(c) of the Equity Definitions, prior to
 clause (A) thereof, is hereby amended to read as follows: ‘(c) If
 “Calculation Agent Adjustment” is specified as the Method of Adjustment in
 the related Confirmation of a Share Option Transaction, then following the

 Agent will determine whether such Potential Adjustment Event has a material
 effect on the theoretical value of the relevant Shares or options on the
 Shares and, if so, will (i) make appropriate adjustment(s), if any, to any
 one or more of:’ and, the portion of such sentence immediately preceding
 clause (ii) thereof is hereby amended by deleting the words “diluting or
 concentrative” and the words “(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 such latter
 phrase with the words “(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)”;

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (ii)
 Section 11.2(e)(vii) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting
 the words “diluting or concentrative” and replacing them with “material”;

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (iii)

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

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

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

 comma at the end of subsection (A); and

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
                    (B)
 (1) deleting subsection (C) in its entirety, (2) deleting the word “or” immediately
 preceding subsection (C) and (3) deleting the final two sentences in its
 entirety and replacing it with the sentence “The Hedging Party will determine
 (in a manner consistent, for such 

12

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
purposes, with Section 3 hereunder governing the
 conduct of the Calculation Agent) the Cancellation Amount payable by one
 party to the other.”

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (i)
 Transfer
 and Assignment. Dealer may transfer or assign its rights and
 obligations under the Transaction with the prior written consent of the
 Issuer, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the
 foregoing, Dealer may transfer or assign its rights and obligations hereunder
 and under the Agreement, in whole or in part, without the consent of the
 Issuer to (i) any of its affiliates or (ii) any entities sponsored or
 organized by, or on behalf of or for the benefit of Dealer. 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (j)
 Disclosure.
 Effective from the date of commencement of discussions concerning the
 Transaction, Issuer 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
 Issuer relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (k)
 Designation
 by Dealer. Notwithstanding any other provision in this
 Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell,
 receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to or from Issuer, Dealer
 may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver
 such shares or other securities and otherwise to perform Dealer obligations
 in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations.
 Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Issuer to the extent of any
 such performance.

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (l)
 Additional Termination Events.
 The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an Additional
 Termination Event with respect to which the Transaction shall be the sole
 Affected Transaction and Issuer shall be the sole Affected Party; provided
 that with respect to any Additional Termination Event, Dealer may choose to
 treat part of the Transaction as the sole Affected Transaction, and, upon the
 termination of the Affected Transaction, a Transaction with terms identical
 to those set forth herein except with a Number of Warrants equal to the
 unaffected number of Warrants shall be treated for all purposes as the
 Transaction, which shall remain in full force and effect:

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (i)
 Dealer reasonably determines that it is advisable to terminate a portion of
 the Transaction so that Dealer’s related hedging activities will comply with
 applicable securities laws, rules or regulations;

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (ii)
 any Person (as defined below) acquires beneficial ownership (determined in
 accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly,
 through a purchase, merger or other acquisition transaction or series of
 transactions, of Shares entitling the Person to exercise 50% or more of the
 total voting power of all shares of Issuer’s capital stock entitled to vote
 generally in elections of directors, other than an acquisition by Issuer, any
 of Issuer’s subsidiaries or any of Issuer’s employee benefit plans; 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (iii)
 Issuer (x) merges or consolidates with or into any other Person, other than a
 subsidiary of Issuer, another Person merges with or into Issuer, or Issuer
 conveys, sells, transfers or leases all or substantially all of its assets to

 or converted into cash, securities or other property, in each case, other than
 any merger or consolidation: 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
(A) 

	
that does not result in a reclassification,
 conversion, exchange or cancellation of the outstanding Shares;

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
(B)

	
pursuant to which the consideration received by

 to exercise, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the voting power of all
 shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of
 directors of either (x) the continuing or surviving corporation or (y) a corporation
 that directly or indirectly owns 100% of the capital stock of such continuing
 or surviving corporation, in either case, immediately after such transaction;

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
(C)

 Redemption Period; and (ii) Warrants subject to early termination pursuant to
 this paragraph shall be terminated no sooner than 90 days following the

 as provided and subject to cessation as described in
Section 8(e).

          Notwithstanding
the foregoing, a transaction set forth in clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) above will
not constitute an Additional Termination Event if at least 90% of the
consideration paid for the Shares (excluding cash payments for fractional
shares and cash payments made pursuant to dissenters’ appraisal rights and cash
dividends) in such merger or consolidation or such other transaction otherwise
constituting an Additional Termination Event under clause (iii) above consists
of shares of capital stock or American Depositary Receipts in respect of shares

Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ Global Select Market or the NASDAQ Global Market (or
any of their respective successors) (or will be so traded or quoted immediately
following the completion of the merger or consolidation or such other
transaction).

          “Person”
includes any syndicate or group that would be deemed to be a “person” under
Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act.

          “Continuing
Directors” means a directors who either were members of the Issuer’s

board of directors subsequent to the date hereof and whose appointment,
election or nomination for election by the Issuer’s shareholders is duly
approved by a majority of the Continuing Directors on the Issuer’s board of
directors at the time of such approval, either by specific vote or by approval
of the proxy statement issued by the Issuer on behalf of the board of directors
in which such individuals are named as nominees for director.

          
“Permitted

          (m)
Netting
and Set-off. 

	
 

	
 

	
 

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

14

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (ii)
 In addition to and without limiting any rights of set-off that a party hereto
 may have as a matter of law, pursuant to contract or otherwise, upon the
 occurrence of an Early Termination Date, Dealer shall have the right to
 terminate, liquidate and otherwise close out the Transaction and to set off
 any obligation or right that Dealer or any affiliate of Dealer may have to or
 against Issuer hereunder or under the Agreement against any right or
 obligation Dealer or any of its affiliates may have against or to Issuer,
 including without limitation any right to receive a payment or delivery
 pursuant to any provision of the Agreement or hereunder. In the case of a
 set-off of any obligation to release, deliver or pay assets against any right
 to receive assets of the same type, such obligation and right shall be set
 off in kind. In the case of a set-off of any obligation to release, deliver
 or pay assets against any right to receive assets of any other type, the
 value of each of such obligation and such right shall be determined by the
 Calculation Agent and the result of such set-off shall be that the net
 obligor shall pay or deliver to the other party an amount of cash or assets,
 at the net obligor’s option, with a value (determined, in the case of a
 delivery of assets, by the Calculation Agent) equal to that of the net obligation.
 In determining the value of any obligation to release or deliver Shares or
 any right to receive Shares, the value at any time of such obligation or
 right shall be determined by reference to the market value of the Shares at
 such time, as determined in good faith by the Calculation Agent. If an
 obligation or right is unascertained at the time of any such set-off, the
 Calculation Agent may in good faith estimate the amount or value of such
 obligation or right, in which case set-off will be effected in respect of
 that estimate, and the relevant party shall account to the other party at the
 time such obligation or right is ascertained.

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (iii)
 Issuer shall not net or set off its obligations, if any, under the
 Transaction against its rights against Dealer under any other transaction or
 instrument. Dealer shall not net or set off its obligations, if any, under
 the Transaction against its rights against Issuer under any other transaction
 or instrument.

          (n)
Effectiveness. If, prior to the
Effective Date, Dealer reasonably determines that it is advisable to cancel the
Transaction because of concerns that Dealer’s related hedging activities could
be viewed as not complying with applicable securities laws, rules or
regulations, the Transaction shall be cancelled and shall not become effective,
and neither party shall have any obligation to the other party in respect of
the Transaction.

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

          (p)
Governing
Law. THIS CONFIRMATION SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE
COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE UNITED STATES COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN
DISTRICT OF NEW YORK IN CONNECTION WITH ALL MATTERS RELATING HERETO AND WAIVE
ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE IN, AND ANY CLAIM OF INCONVENIENT FORUM
WITH RESPECT TO, THESE COURTS.
