Re:                             [Base][Additional] Warrants

 

The purpose of this letter agreement (this “Confirmation”) is to confirm the terms and conditions of the Warrants issued by LinkedIn Corporation (“Company”) to [                    ] (“Dealer”) as of the Trade Date specified below (the “Transaction”).  This letter agreement constitutes a “Confirmation” as referred to in the ISDA Master Agreement specified below.  This Confirmation shall replace any previous agreements and serve as the final documentation for the Transaction.

 

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

 

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

 

1.                                      This Confirmation evidences a complete and binding agreement between Dealer and Company 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 as if Dealer and Company had executed an agreement in such form on the date hereof (but without any Schedule except for (i) the election of US Dollars (“USD”) as the Termination Currency, and (ii) (a) the election that the “Cross Default” provisions of Section 5(a)(vi) of the Agreement shall apply to Company with a “Threshold Amount” of USD 100,000,000, (b) the phrase “or becoming capable at such time of being declared” shall be deleted from clause (1) of such Section 5(a)(vi), and (c) the following language shall be added to the end thereof: “Notwithstanding the foregoing, a default under subsection (2) hereof shall not constitute an Event of Default if (x) the default was caused solely by error or omission of an administrative or operational nature; (y) funds were available to enable the party to make the payment when due; and (z) the payment is made within two Local Business Days of such party’s receipt of written notice of its failure to pay.”). In the event of any inconsistency between provisions of the Agreement and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will prevail for the purpose of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates.  For the avoidance of doubt, except to the extent of an express conflict, the application of any provision of this Confirmation, the Agreement or the Equity Definitions shall not be construed to exclude or limit the application of any other provision of this Confirmation, the Agreement or the Equity Definitions. The Transaction hereunder shall be the sole Transaction under the Agreement.  If there exists any ISDA Master Agreement between Dealer and Company or any confirmation or other agreement between Dealer and Company pursuant to which an ISDA Master Agreement is deemed to exist between Dealer and Company, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in such ISDA Master Agreement, such confirmation or agreement or any other agreement to which Dealer and Company are parties, the Transaction shall not be considered a Transaction under, or otherwise governed by, such existing or deemed ISDA Master Agreement.

If   (x) an Announcement Date occurs in respect of a Merger Event (for the   avoidance of doubt, determined without regard to the language in the definition   of “Merger Event” following the definition of “Reverse Merger” therein) or   Tender Offer or any transaction or event or series of transactions and/or   events that, if consummated, would lead to a Merger Event or Tender Offer (as   determined by the Calculation Agent), (y) Company makes a public announcement   of an intention to solicit or enter into, or to explore strategic   alternatives or other similar undertaking that may reasonably be expected to   result in a Merger Event or Tender Offer or (z) there occurs any subsequent   public announcement of a change to a transaction or intention that is the   subject of an announcement of the type described in clause (x) or   (y) of this sentence (including, without limitation, a new announcement,   whether or not by the same party, relating to such a transaction or intention   or the announcement of a withdrawal from, or the abandonment or   discontinuation of, such a transaction or intention) (in each case, whether   such announcement is made by Company or a third party that has a bona fide   intent to become a party to such

Merger   Event or Tender Offer (a “Valid Third Party Entity”))   (any event described in clause (x), (y) or (z), an “Announcement   Event”), then on or after the date of the Announcement Event and   prior to the Expiration Date, any Early Termination Date and/or any other   date of cancellation (the “Announcement Event   Adjustment Date”) in respect of each Warrant, the Calculation   Agent will determine the economic effect on such Warrant of the Announcement   Event (regardless of whether the Announcement Event actually results in a   Merger Event or Tender Offer, and taking into account such factors as the   Calculation Agent may determine, including, without limitation, changes in   volatility, expected dividends, stock loan rate or liquidity or any Share   price discontinuity relevant to the Shares or the Transaction, whether prior   to or after the Announcement Event or for any period of time, including,   without limitation, the period from the Announcement Event to the relevant   Announcement Event Adjustment Date).    If the Calculation Agent determines that such economic effect on any   Warrant is material, then on the Announcement Event Adjustment Date for such   Warrant, the Calculation Agent may make such adjustment to the exercise,   settlement, payment or any other terms of such Warrant as the Calculation   Agent determines appropriate to account for such economic effect. For the   avoidance of doubt, the occurrence of an Announcement Event with respect to   any transaction or intention shall not preclude the occurrence of a later   Announcement Event with respect to such transaction or intention; provided that if the Calculation Agent shall make any   adjustment to the terms of any Warrant upon the occurrence of a particular   Announcement Event, then the Calculation Agent shall make an adjustment to   the terms of that same Warrant upon any announcement prior to the   Announcement Event Adjustment Date regarding the abandonment of any such   event that gave rise to the original Announcement Event.
    
	
 
    	
 
    
	
Announcement   Date:
    	
The   definition of “Announcement Date” in Section 12.1 of the Equity   Definitions is hereby amended by (i) replacing the words “a firm” with   the word “any” in the second and fourth lines thereof, (ii) replacing   the word “leads to the” with the words “, if completed, would lead to a” in   the third and the fifth lines thereof, (iii) replacing the words “voting   shares” with the word “Shares” in the fifth line thereof, (iv) inserting   the words “by Company or any Valid Third Party Entity” after the word   “announcement” in the second and the fourth lines thereof and (v) inserting   the word “potential” following the words “in the case of a” at the beginning   of clauses (i) and (ii) therein.
    
	
 
    	
 
    
	
Modified   Calculation
    	
 
    
	
Agent   Adjustment:
    	
If,   in respect of any Merger Event to which Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment   applies, the adjustments to be made in accordance with Section 12.2(e)(i) of   the Equity Definitions would result in Company being different from the   issuer of the Shares, then with respect to such Merger Event, as a condition   precedent to the adjustments contemplated in Section 12.2(e)(i) of   the Equity Definitions, Company and the

issuer   of the Shares shall, prior to the Merger Date, 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 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) 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) of   the Equity Definitions will produce a commercially reasonable result, then   the consequences set forth in Section 12.2(e)(ii) of the Equity Definitions   shall apply.
    
	
 
    	
 
    
	
Nationalization, Insolvency   or Delisting:
    	
Cancellation   and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination); provided that, in addition to the provisions of   Section 12.6(a)(iii) of the Equity Definitions, it will also   constitute a Delisting if the Exchange is located in the United States and   the Shares are not immediately re-listed, re-traded or re-quoted on any of   the New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market or The NASDAQ   Global Market (or their respective successors); if the Shares are immediately   re-listed, re-traded or re-quoted on any of the New York Stock Exchange, The   NASDAQ Global Select Market or The NASDAQ Global Market (or their respective   successors), such exchange or quotation system shall thereafter be deemed to   be the Exchange.

8.                                      Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Company and Dealer.

 

I.                     Representations of Company.  Company hereby represents and warrants to Dealer that each of the representations and warranties of Company set forth in Section 1 of the Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) dated as of November 5, 2014, among Company and Goldman, Sachs & Co., J.P.

 

11

 

Morgan Securities LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC as representatives of the several Purchasers named in Schedule I thereto (the “Initial Purchasers”), is true and correct and is hereby deemed to be repeated to Dealer as if set forth herein.  Company hereby further represents and warrants to Dealer on the date hereof, on and as of the Premium Payment Date and, in the case of the representations in Section 8(a), at all times until termination of the Transaction, that:

 

(a)                                 A number of Shares equal to the Maximum Number of Shares (as defined below) (the “Warrant Shares”) have been reserved for issuance by all required corporate action of Company.  The Warrant Shares have been duly authorized and, when delivered against payment therefor (which may include Net Share Settlement in lieu of cash) and otherwise as contemplated by the terms of the Warrants following the exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Warrants, will be validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable, and the issuance of the Warrant Shares will not be subject to any preemptive or similar rights. Company represents and warrants to Dealer that the Maximum Number of Shares is equal to or less than the number of authorized but unissued Shares of Company that are not reserved for future issuance in connection with transactions in the Shares (other than the Transaction) on the date of the determination of the Maximum Number of Shares (such Shares, the “Available Shares”).  Company shall not take any action to decrease the number of Available Shares below the Maximum Number of Shares.

 

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

 

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

 

(d)                                 No U.S. state or local law, rule, regulation or regulatory order applicable to the Shares would give rise to any reporting, consent, registration or other requirement (including without limitation a requirement to obtain prior approval from any person or entity) as a result of Dealer or its affiliates owning or holding (however defined) Shares, other than any regulation that Dealer would be subject to as a result of it being a regulated entity under U.S. various applicable laws, including U.S. securities laws and FINRA.

 

(e)                                  Company represents and warrants that it has received, read and understands the OTC Options Risk Disclosure Statement and a copy of the most recent disclosure pamphlet prepared by The Options Clearing Corporation entitled “Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options”.

 

(f)                                   Company (i) is an “institutional account” as defined in FINRA Rule 4512(c); (ii) is capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to all transactions and investment strategies involving a security or securities, and will exercise independent judgment in evaluating the recommendations of Dealer or its associated persons; and (iii) will notify Dealer if any of the statements contained in clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 8(f) ceases to be true.

 

(g)                                  Without limiting the generality of Section 13.1 of the Equity Definitions, Company acknowledges that neither Dealer nor any of its affiliates is making any representations or warranties or taking any position or expressing any view with respect to the treatment of the Transaction under any accounting standards including ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share, ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (or any successor issue statements).

 

(h)                                 Company 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 manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for Shares) or in violation of the Exchange Act.

 

(i)                                     On the Trade Date and the Premium Payment Date (i) the assets of Company at their fair valuation exceed the liabilities of Company, including contingent liabilities, (ii) the capital of Company is adequate to conduct the business of Company and (iii) Company has the ability to pay its debts

 

12

 

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.

 

(j)                                    Company understands that notwithstanding any other relationship between Company and Dealer and its affiliates, in connection with this Transaction and any other over-the-counter derivative transactions between Company and Dealer or its affiliates, Dealer or its affiliate is acting as principal and is not a fiduciary or advisor in respect of any such transaction, including any entry, exercise, amendment, unwind or termination thereof.

 

II.                Eligible Contract Participants.  Each of Company and Dealer represents that it is an “eligible contract participant” (as such term is defined in Section 1a(18) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, other than a person that is an eligible contract participant under Section 1a(18)(C) of the Commodity Exchange Act).

 

III.           Private Placement Representations.  Each of Dealer and Company acknowledges that the offer and sale of the Transaction to it is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) thereof.  Accordingly, Dealer represents and warrants to Company 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 and its investments in and liabilities in respect of the Transaction, which it understands are not readily marketable, are not disproportionate to its net worth, and it is able to bear any loss in connection with the Transaction, including the loss of its entire investment in the Transaction, (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 and without a view to the distribution or resale thereof, (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, and (v) its financial condition is such that it has no need for liquidity with respect to its investment in the Transaction and no need to dispose of any portion thereof to satisfy any existing or contemplated undertaking or indebtedness and is capable of assessing the merits of and understanding (on its own behalf or through independent professional advice), and understands and accepts, the terms, conditions and risks of the Transaction.

 

9.                                      Other Provisions.

 

(a)                                 Opinions.  On or prior to the Premium Payment Date, Company shall deliver to Dealer an opinion of counsel, dated as of the Trade Date, with respect to due incorporation, existence and good standing of Company in Delaware, the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Confirmation, and, in respect of the execution, delivery and performance of this Confirmation, the absence of any conflict with or breach of any material agreement required to be filed as an exhibit to Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, Company’s certificate of incorporation or Company’s by-laws.

 

(b)                                 Repurchase Notices.  Company shall, at least one Exchange Business Day prior to any day on which Company effects any repurchase of Shares, promptly give Dealer a written notice of such repurchase (a “Repurchase Notice”) on such day if following such repurchase, the Notice Percentage would reasonably be expected to be (i) greater than 4.5% and (ii) greater by 0.5% than the Notice Percentage included in the immediately preceding Repurchase/Adjustment Notice (or, in the case of the first such Repurchase/Adjustment Notice, greater by 0.5% than the Notice Percentage as of the date hereof); provided that Company shall not deliver any material non-public information to any employee of Dealer unless that employee has been identified to Company as being on the “private side”.  The “Notice Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is the sum of (a) the product of the Number of Warrants and the Warrant Entitlement and (b) the number of Shares underlying any other similar warrant transaction sold by Company to Dealer and the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day.  Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Dealer and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, advisors, agents and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all losses (including losses relating to Dealer’s hedging activities as a consequence of becoming, or of the risk of becoming, a Section 16 “insider”, including without limitation, any forbearance from

 

13

 

hedging activities or cessation of hedging activities and any losses in connection therewith with respect to the Transaction), claims, damages, judgments, liabilities, expenses and fees (including reasonable attorney’s fees), joint or several, which an Indemnified Person actually may become subject to, as a result of Company’s failure to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this paragraph, and to reimburse, within 30 days, upon written request, each of such Indemnified Persons for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing for, providing testimony or other evidence in connection with or defending any of the foregoing.  If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against the Indemnified Person, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Company in writing, and Company, upon request of the Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others Company may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding.  Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, Company agrees to indemnify any Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.  Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or expects to be a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding on terms reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person.  If the indemnification provided for in this paragraph is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses or fees referred to therein, then Company, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses or fees.  The remedies provided for in this paragraph are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.  The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this paragraph shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of the Transaction.

 

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

 

(d)                                 Transfer or Assignment; Designation of Affiliates.

 

(i)                                     Company may not transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Transaction without the prior written consent of Dealer.  Dealer may, without Company’s consent, transfer or assign all or any part of its rights or obligations under the Transaction to any third party; provided that after any such transfer or assignment, Company shall not be required to pay the transferee on any payment date an amount under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement greater than an amount that Company would have been required to pay to Dealer in the absence of such transfer or assignment, except to the extent that the greater amount is due to a Change in Tax Law after the date of such transfer or assignment; and provided further that Dealer shall cause the transferee to deliver to the Company one duly executed and completed applicable Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or Form W-9 (or successor thereto); and provided further that Dealer shall provide written notice to Company following any such Transfer.  If at any time at which (A) the Section 16 Percentage exceeds 7.5%, (B) the Warrant Equity Percentage exceeds 14.5%, or (C) the Share Amount exceeds the Applicable Share Limit (if any applies) (any such condition described in clauses (A), (B) or (C), an “Excess Ownership Position”), Dealer, acting in good faith, is unable after using its commercially reasonable efforts to effect a transfer or assignment of Warrants to a third party on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to Dealer and within a time period reasonably acceptable to Dealer such that no Excess Ownership

 

14

 

Position exists, then Dealer may designate any Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction (the “Terminated Portion”), such that following such partial termination no Excess Ownership Position exists.  In the event that Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a Terminated Portion, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (1) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Transaction and a Number of Warrants equal to the number of Warrants underlying the Terminated Portion, (2) Company were the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (3) the Terminated Portion were the sole Affected Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 9(i) shall apply to any amount that is payable by Company to Dealer pursuant to this sentence as if Company was not the Affected Party).  The “Section 16 Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Dealer and each person subject to aggregation of Shares with Dealer and each “group” of which Dealer is a member or may be deemed a member, in each case under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder, directly or indirectly beneficially own (as defined under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding.  The “Warrant Equity Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the sum of (1) the product of the Number of Warrants and the Warrant Entitlement and (2) the aggregate number of Shares underlying any other warrants purchased by Dealer from Company, and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding.  The “Share Amount” as of any day is the number of Shares that Dealer and any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Dealer (Dealer or any such person, a “Dealer Person”) under any law, rule, regulation, regulatory order or organizational documents or contracts of Company that are, in each case, applicable to ownership of Shares (“Applicable Restrictions”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Dealer in its commercially reasonable discretion.  The “Applicable Share Limit” means a number of Shares equal to (A) the minimum number of Shares that could give rise to reporting or registration obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval from any person or entity) of a Dealer Person, or could result in an adverse effect on a Dealer Person, under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Dealer in its commercially reasonable discretion, minus (B) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding.

 

(ii)                                  Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities, or make or receive any payment in cash, to or from Company, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities, or make or receive such payment in cash, and otherwise to perform Dealer’s obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations.  Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Company to the extent of any such performance.

 

(e)                                  Dividends.  If at any time during the period from and including the Effective Date, to and including the last Expiration Date (or, if any Deficit Shares are owed pursuant to Section 9(o)(ii) of this Confirmation, such later date on which Company’s obligations under this Transaction have been satisfied in full), an ex-dividend date for a cash dividend or cash distribution occurs with respect to the Shares (an “Ex-Dividend Date”), then the Calculation Agent will adjust any of the Strike Price, Number of Warrants, Daily Number of Warrants and/or any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment of the Transaction to preserve the fair value of the Warrants after taking into account such dividend or distribution.

(f)                                   [Conduct Rules.  Each party acknowledges and agrees to be bound by the Conduct Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. applicable to transactions in options, and further agrees not to violate the position and exercise limits set forth therein.](1)

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

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

 

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

 

(A)                               A “person” or “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, other than Company, its direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries or its or their employee benefit plans, or a Founder, files a Schedule TO or any schedule, form or report under the Exchange Act disclosing that such person or group has become the direct or indirect “beneficial owner,” as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, of the common equity of Company representing more than 50% of the voting power of such common equity; provided, however, that any such filing by one or more Founders shall not be an Additional Termination Event pursuant to this clause (A) unless such filing discloses that such Founder or Founders have become the direct or indirect beneficial owner of more than 25% of the outstanding Shares (or such other common equity into which the Shares have been reclassified), such percentage to be calculated by excluding from the numerator (i) any Shares (or such other common equity into which the Shares have been reclassified) directly or indirectly beneficially owned by such Founder or Founders on November 12, 2014, (ii) any Shares (or such other common equity into which the Shares have been reclassified) issued or issuable on conversion of shares of Class B common stock of Company, par value USD 0.0001 per share and (iii) any Shares (or such other common equity into which the Shares have been reclassified) issued by Company to such Founder or Founders after November 12, 2014. “Founder” shall mean each of (a) Reid Hoffman, (b) any trust, individual retirement account, or business entity (including any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, foundation or similar entity) for which Reid Hoffman retains sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the Class B common stock of Company, par value USD 0.0001 per share, held by such trust, individual retirement account, or business entity (including, without limitation, the Reid Hoffman and Michelle Yee Living Trust dated October 27, 2009), and the trustees, legal representatives, beneficiaries and/or beneficial owners of such trust, individual retirement account or business entity, and (c) the estate, heirs and lineal descendants of Reid Hoffman.

 

(B)                               The consummation of (I) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Shares (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination or the mandatory reclassification of the Shares and Company’s Class B common stock,

 

17

 

par value USD 0.0001 per share, into a single class of common stock pursuant to the terms of Company’s certificate of incorporation) as a result of which the Shares would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets; (II) any share exchange, consolidation or merger of Company pursuant to which the Shares will be converted into cash, securities or other property or assets or (III) any sale, lease or other transfer in one transaction or a series of transactions of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any person other than one of Company’s direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries; provided that any merger of Company solely for the purpose of changing Company’s jurisdiction of incorporation that results in a reclassification, conversion or exchange of outstanding Shares solely into shares of common stock of the surviving entity shall not be an Additional Termination Event pursuant to this clause (B); and provided further that any transaction that constitutes an Additional Termination Event pursuant to both clause (A) above and this clause (B) shall be deemed an Additional Termination Event solely under this clause (B).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any transaction or transactions set forth in clause (A) above or this clause (B) shall not constitute an Additional Termination Event if (x) at least 90% of the consideration received or to be received by holders of the Shares, excluding cash payments for fractional Shares or pursuant to statutory appraisal rights, in connection with such transaction or transactions consists of shares of common stock that are listed or quoted on any of The New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market or The NASDAQ Global Market (or any of their respective successors) or will be so listed or quoted when issued or exchanged in connection with such transaction or transactions, and (y) as a result of such transaction or transactions, the Shares will consist of such consideration, excluding cash payments for fractional Shares or pursuant to statutory appraisal rights.

 

(C)                               The stockholders of Company approve any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of Company; or

 

(D)                               The Shares cease to be listed or quoted on any of The New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market or The NASDAQ Global Market (or any of their respective successors).

 

(E)                                Default by Company or any of its significant subsidiaries (as defined below) with respect to any mortgage, agreement or other instrument under which there may be outstanding, or by which there may be secured or evidenced, any indebtedness for money borrowed in excess of USD 100,000,000 (or its foreign currency equivalent) in the aggregate of the Company and/or any such significant subsidiary, whether such indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created (i) resulting in such indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable or (ii) constituting a failure to pay the principal of any such indebtedness when due and payable at its stated maturity, upon required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise, and in the cases of clauses (i) and (ii) such acceleration shall not have been rescinded or annulled or such failure to pay or default shall not have been cured or waived, or such indebtedness shall not have been paid or discharged, as the case may be, within 30 days.

 

A “significant subsidiary” is a subsidiary that is a “significant subsidiary” as defined under Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act; provided that, in the case of a subsidiary that meets the criteria of clause (3) of the definition thereof but not clause (1) or (2) thereof, such subsidiary shall not be deemed to be a significant subsidiary unless the subsidiary’s income from continuing operations before income taxes, extraordinary items and cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle exclusive of amounts attributable to

 

18

 

any non-controlling interests for the last completed fiscal year prior to the date of such determination exceeds USD 75,000,000.

 

(F)                                 Dealer reasonably determines that it is advisable to terminate a portion of the Transaction so that Dealer’s related commercially reasonable hedging activities will comply with applicable securities laws, rules or regulations or related policies and procedures of Dealer (whether or not such requirements, policies or procedures are imposed by law or have been voluntarily adopted by Dealer), or Dealer, despite using commercially reasonable efforts, is unable or reasonably determines that it is impractical or illegal to effect a commercially reasonable hedge with respect to this Transaction in the public market without registration under the Securities Act or as a result of any legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements or related policies and procedures (whether or not such requirements, policies or procedures are imposed by law or have been voluntarily adopted by Dealer).

 

(iii)                               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Equity Definitions, if, as a result of an Extraordinary Event, the Transaction would be cancelled or terminated (whether in whole or in part) pursuant to Article 12 of the Equity Definitions, an Additional Termination Event (with the Transaction (or portions thereof) being the Affected Transaction and Company being the sole Affected Party) shall be deemed to occur, and, in lieu of Sections 12.7, 12.8 and 12.9 of the Equity Definitions, Section 6 of the Agreement shall apply to such Affected Transaction.

 

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

 

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

 

If, in respect of the Transaction, an amount is payable by Company to Dealer pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (any such amount, a “Payment Obligation”), Company shall satisfy the Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative (as defined below), unless (a) Company gives irrevocable telephonic notice to Dealer, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day, no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Merger Date, Tender Offer Date, Announcement Date (in the case of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), Early Termination Date or date of cancellation, as applicable, of its election that the Share Termination Alternative shall not apply, (b) Company remakes the representation set forth in Section 8(c) as of the date of such election and (c) Dealer agrees, in its sole discretion, to such election, in which case the provisions of Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement shall apply.

 

Share Termination Alternative:        If applicable, Company shall deliver to Dealer the Share Termination Delivery Property on the date (the “Share Termination Payment Date”) on which the Payment Obligation would otherwise be due pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, subject to Section 9(j)(i) below, in satisfaction, subject to Section 9(j)(ii) below, of the relevant Payment Obligation, in the manner reasonably requested by Dealer free of payment.

 

Share Termination Delivery

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

 

19

 

Termination Delivery Property by replacing any fractional portion of a security therein with an amount of cash equal to the value of such fractional security based on the values used to calculate the Share Termination Unit Price (without giving effect to any discount pursuant to Section 9(j)(i)).

 

Share Termination Unit Price:                                The value of property contained in one Share Termination Delivery Unit on the date such Share Termination Delivery Units are to be delivered as Share Termination Delivery Property, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its discretion by commercially reasonable means.  In the case of a Private Placement of Share Termination Delivery Units that are Restricted Shares (as defined below), as set forth in Section 9(j)(i) below, the Share Termination Unit Price shall be determined by the discounted price applicable to such Share Termination Delivery Units.  In the case of a Registration Settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units that are Restricted Shares (as defined below) as set forth in Section 9(j)(ii) below, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Share Termination Unit Price shall be the Settlement Price on the Merger Date, Tender Offer Date, Announcement Date (in the case of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), Early Termination Date or date of cancellation, as applicable.  The Calculation Agent shall notify Company of the Share Termination Unit Price at the time of notification of such Payment Obligation to Company or, if applicable, at the time the discounted price applicable to the relevant Share Termination Units is determined pursuant to Section 9(j)(i).

 

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

 

Failure to Deliver:                                                                                                Inapplicable

 

Other applicable provisions:                                         If Share Termination Alternative is applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.11 and 9.12 (as modified above) of the Equity Definitions will be applicable as if Physical Settlement applied to the Transaction and the provisions set forth opposite the caption “Representation and Agreement” in Section 2 will be applicable.

 

(j)                                    Registration/Private Placement Procedures.  If, in the reasonable opinion of Dealer, based on the advice of counsel, following any delivery of Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property to Dealer hereunder, such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property would be in the hands of Dealer subject to any applicable restrictions with respect to any registration or qualification requirement or prospectus delivery requirement for such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities law (including, without limitation,

 

20

 

any such requirement arising under Section 5 of the Securities Act) (such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property, “Restricted Shares”), then delivery of such Restricted Shares shall be effected pursuant to either clause (i) or (ii) below at the election of Company, unless Dealer waives the need for registration/private placement procedures set forth in (i) and (ii) below.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely in respect of any Daily Number of Warrants exercised or deemed exercised on any Expiration Date, Company shall elect, prior to the first Settlement Date for the first applicable Expiration Date, a Private Placement Settlement or Registration Settlement for all deliveries of Restricted Shares for all such Expiration Dates, which election shall be applicable to all remaining Settlement Dates for such Warrants and the procedures in clause (i) or clause (ii) below shall apply for all such delivered Restricted Shares on an aggregate basis commencing after the final Settlement Date for such Warrants.  The Calculation Agent shall make reasonable adjustments to settlement terms and provisions under this Confirmation to reflect a single Private Placement or Registration Settlement for such aggregate Restricted Shares delivered hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, these adjustments will only be commercially reasonable in nature (such as to consider changes in volatility, expected dividends, stock loan rate or liquidity relevant to the Shares and the ability to maintain a commercially reasonable hedge position in the Shares) and will not impact Company’s unilateral right to settle in Shares.

 

(i)                                     If Company elects to settle the Transaction pursuant to this clause (i) (a “Private Placement Settlement”), then delivery of Restricted Shares by Company shall be effected in customary private placement procedures with respect to such Restricted Shares commercially reasonably acceptable to Dealer; provided that Company may not elect a Private Placement Settlement if, on the date of its election, it has taken, or caused to be taken, any action that would make unavailable either the exemption pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act for the sale by Company to Dealer (or any affiliate designated by Dealer) of the Restricted Shares or the exemption pursuant to Section 4(a)(1) or Section 4(a)(3) of the Securities Act for resales of the Restricted Shares by Dealer (or any such affiliate of Dealer).  The Private Placement Settlement for such Restricted Shares shall include such customary representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to Dealer, due diligence rights (for Dealer or any designated buyer of the Restricted Shares by Dealer), opinions and certificates, and such other documentation, in each case as is customary for private placement agreements of companies of comparable size, maturity and line of business, all commercially reasonably acceptable to Dealer.  In the case of a Private Placement Settlement, Dealer shall determine the appropriate discount to the Share Termination Unit Price (in the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to Section 9(i) above) or any Settlement Price (in the case of settlement of Shares pursuant to Section 2 above) applicable to such Restricted Shares in a commercially reasonable manner and appropriately adjust the number of such Restricted Shares to be delivered to Dealer hereunder, which discount shall only take into account the illiquidity resulting from the fact that the Restricted Shares will not be registered for resale and any commercially reasonable fees and expenses of Dealer (and any affiliate thereof) in connection with such resale.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement or this Confirmation, the date of delivery of such Restricted Shares shall be the Exchange Business Day following notice by Dealer to Company, of such applicable discount and the number of Restricted Shares to be delivered pursuant to this clause (i).  For the avoidance of doubt, delivery of Restricted Shares shall be due as set forth in the previous sentence and not be due on the Share Termination Payment Date (in the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to Section 9(i) above) or on the Settlement Date for such Restricted Shares (in the case of settlement in Shares pursuant to Section 2 above).

 

(ii)                                  If Company elects to settle the Transaction pursuant to this clause (ii) (a “Registration Settlement”), then Company shall promptly (but in any event no later than the beginning of the Resale Period) file and use its reasonable best efforts to make effective under the Securities Act a registration statement or supplement or amend an outstanding registration statement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Dealer, to cover

 

21

 

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

 

(iii)                               Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Company agrees that (A) any Restricted Shares delivered to Dealer may be transferred by and among Dealer and its affiliates and Company shall effect such transfer without any further action by Dealer and (B) after the period of 6 months from the Trade Date (or 1 year from the Trade Date if, at such time, informational requirements of Rule 144(c) under the Securities Act are not satisfied with respect to Company) has elapsed in respect of any Restricted Shares delivered to Dealer, unless Dealer is an affiliate of Company at such time or has been an affiliate of Company in the immediately preceding three months, Company shall promptly remove, or cause the transfer agent for such Restricted Shares to remove, any legends referring to any such restrictions or requirements from such Restricted Shares upon request by Dealer (or such affiliate of Dealer) to Company or such transfer agent, without any requirement for the delivery of any certificate, consent, agreement, opinion of counsel, notice or any other document, any transfer tax stamps or payment of any other amount or any other action by Dealer (or such affiliate of Dealer). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent the provisions of Rule 144 of the Securities Act or any successor rule are amended, or the applicable interpretation thereof by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any court change after the Trade Date, the agreements of Company herein shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary, in the opinion of outside counsel of Company, to comply with Rule 144 of the Securities Act, as in effect at the time of delivery of the relevant Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property.

 

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

 

22

 

(k)                                 Limit on Beneficial Ownership.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, the Equity Definitions or this Confirmation, Dealer may not exercise any Warrant hereunder, in no event shall Dealer be entitled to receive or take delivery of any Shares deliverable hereunder (or be deemed to so receive or so take delivery), and Automatic Exercise shall not apply with respect to any Warrant hereunder, in each case, to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after such receipt or delivery of any Shares upon the exercise of such Warrant or otherwise hereunder [and after taking into account any Shares deliverable to Dealer the [letter agreement dated November 5, 2014 between Dealer and Company regarding Base Warrants (the “Base Warrant Confirmation”)], (i) the Section 16 Percentage would exceed 7.5%, or (ii) the Share Amount would exceed the Applicable Share Limit.  Any purported delivery hereunder shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after such delivery [and after taking into account any Shares deliverable to Dealer under the Base Warrant Confirmation](2), (i) the Section 16 Percentage would exceed 7.5%, or (ii) the Share Amount would exceed the Applicable Share Limit. If any delivery owed to Dealer hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, Company’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and Company shall make such delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than one Business Day after, Dealer gives notice to Company that, after such delivery, (i) the Section 16 Percentage would not exceed 7.5%, and (ii) the Share Amount would not exceed the Applicable Share Limit.

 

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

 

(m)                             Arbitration.

 

(i)                                    All parties to this Confirmation are giving up the right to sue each other in court, including the right to a trial by jury, except as provided by the rules of the arbitration forum in which a claim is filed.

 

(ii)                                Arbitration awards are generally final and binding; a party’s ability to have a court reverse or modify an arbitration award is very limited.

 

(iii)                            The ability of the parties to obtain documents, witness statements and other discovery is generally more limited in arbitration than in court proceedings.

 

(iv)                             The arbitrators do not have to explain the reason(s) for their award.

 

(v)                                 The panel of arbitrators will typically include a minority of arbitrators who were or are affiliated with the securities industry, unless Issuer is a member of the organization sponsoring the arbitration facility, in which case all arbitrators may be affiliated with the securities industry.

 

(vi)                             The rules of some arbitration forums may impose time limits for bringing a claim in arbitration.  In some cases, a claim that is ineligible for arbitration may be brought in court.

 

(vii)                         The rules of the arbitration forum in which the claim is filed, and any amendments thereto, shall be incorporated into this Confirmation.

 

(viii)                     Company agrees that any and all controversies that may arise between Company and Dealer, including, but not limited to, those arising out of or relating to the Agreement or the Transaction hereunder, shall be determined by arbitration conducted before FINRA Dispute Resolution (“FINRA-DR”), or, if FINRA-DR declines to hear the matter, before the American Arbitration Association, in accordance with their arbitration rules then in force.  The award of the arbitrator

 

(2)  Include in Additional Warrant Confirmation.

 

23

 

shall be final, and judgment upon the award rendered may be entered in any court, state or federal, having jurisdiction.

 

(ix)                             No person shall bring a putative or certified class action to arbitration, nor seek to enforce any pre-dispute arbitration agreement against any person who has initiated in court a putative class action or who is a member of a putative class who has not opted out of the class with respect to any claims encompassed by the putative class action until: (i) the class certification is denied; (ii) the class is decertified; or (iii) Company is excluded from the class by the court.

 

(x)                                 Such forbearance to enforce an agreement to arbitrate shall not constitute a waiver of any rights under this Confirmation except to the extent stated herein.

 

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

 

(o)                                 Maximum Share Delivery.

 

(i)                                     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Confirmation, the Agreement or the Equity Definitions, in no event will Company at any time be required to deliver a number of Shares greater than [        ](3) (the “Maximum Number of Shares”) to Dealer in connection with the Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, this Confirmation or the Equity Definitions, (i) the determination of whether the Maximum Number of Shares may be adjusted upon any event, and, if so, the applicable adjustment thereto, shall be made without regard to any amendments set forth herein to the relevant provisions of the Equity Definitions, (ii) the Maximum Number of Shares shall not be adjusted to exceed the Available Shares on account of any event that (x) constitutes a Potential Adjustment Event solely on account of Section 11.2(e)(vii) of the Equity Definitions and (y) is not within Company’s control and (iii) any Payment Obligation hereunder shall be calculated without regard to the Maximum Number of Shares; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the number of Shares deliverable under Section 9(i) shall be limited to the Maximum Number of Shares.

 

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

 

(3)  To be the lesser of (x) two times the Number of Shares and (y) (i) 19.9% of outstanding Shares multiplied by (ii) (a) for the Base Warrant Confirmation, 100/115 or (b) for the Additional Warrant Confirmation, 15/115.

delivered) and promptly deliver such Shares or Restricted Shares, as the case may be, thereafter.

 

(p)                                 [Reserved.]

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

25

 

price and market risk with respect to the Settlement Prices; and (D) any market activities of Dealer and its affiliates with respect to Shares may affect the market price and volatility of Shares, as well as the Settlement Prices, each in a manner that may be adverse to Company.

 

(v)                                 Early Unwind.  In the event the sale of the [“Firm Securities”](4)[“Option Securities”](5) (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) is not consummated with the Initial Purchasers for any reason, or Company fails to deliver to Dealer opinions of counsel as required pursuant to Section 9(a), in each case by 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Premium Payment Date, or such later date as agreed upon by the parties (the Premium Payment Date or such later date the “Early Unwind Date”), the Transaction shall automatically terminate (the “Early Unwind”), on the Early Unwind Date and (i) the Transaction and all of the respective rights and obligations of Dealer and Company under the Transaction shall be cancelled and terminated and (ii) each party shall be released and discharged by the other party from and agrees not to make any claim against the other party with respect to any obligations or liabilities of the other party arising out of and to be performed in connection with the Transaction either prior to or after the Early Unwind Date.  Each of Dealer and Company represents and acknowledges to the other that, upon an Early Unwind, all obligations with respect to the Transaction shall be deemed fully and finally discharged.

 

(w)                               Payment by Dealer.  In the event that, following payment of the Premium, (i) an Early Termination Date occurs or is designated with respect to the Transaction as a result of a Termination Event or an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default arising under Section 5(a)(ii) or 5(a)(iv) of the Agreement) and, as a result, Dealer owes to Company an amount calculated under Section 6(e) of the Agreement, or (ii) Dealer owes to Company, pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions, an amount calculated under Section 12.8 of the Equity Definitions, such amount shall be deemed to be zero.

 

(x)                                 Delivery or Receipt of Cash.  For the avoidance of doubt, other than receipt of the Premium by Company, nothing in this Confirmation shall be interpreted as requiring Company to cash settle the Transaction, except in circumstances where cash settlement is within Company’s control (including, without limitation, where Company elects to deliver or receive cash, or where Company has made Private Placement Settlement unavailable due to the occurrence of events within its control) or in those circumstances in which holders of Shares would also receive cash.

 

(y)                                 Tax Matters.

 

(i)                                    For purposes of Sections 4(a)(i) and (ii) of the Agreement, Dealer agrees to deliver to Company one duly executed and completed applicable Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or Form W-9 (or successor thereto).

 

(ii)                                Withholding Tax imposed on payments to non-US counterparties under the United States Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act . “Tax” and “Indemnifiable Tax”, each as defined in Section 14 of the Agreement, shall not include any U.S. federal withholding tax imposed or collected pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ Code “), any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such Sections of the Code (a “ FATCA Withholding Tax “). For the avoidance of doubt, a FATCA Withholding Tax is a Tax the deduction or withholding of which is required by applicable law for the purposes of Section 2(d) of the Agreement.

 

(iii)                            HIRE Act. “Tax” and “Indemnifiable Tax”, each as defined in Section 14 of the Agreement, shall not include any tax imposed on payments treated as dividends from sources within the United States under Section 871(m) of the Code or any regulations issued thereunder.

(5)  Insert for Additional Warrant Confirmation.

(z)                                  Governing Law.  THE AGREEMENT, THIS CONFIRMATION AND ALL MATTERS ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THE AGREEMENT AND THIS CONFIRMATION SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CHOICE OF LAW DOCTRINE, OTHER THAN TITLE 14 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW).
