(i) Counterparty shall have the right to transfer or assign its rights and obligations hereunder with respect to all, but not less than all, of the Options hereunder (such Options, the Transfer Options ); provided that such transfer or assignment shall be subject to reasonable conditions that JPMorgan may impose, including, but not limited, to the following conditions: |
11
(ii) JPMorgan may, without Counterpartys consent, transfer or assign all or any part of its rights or obligations under the Transaction to any third party with a rating for its long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness equal to or better than the lesser of (1) the credit rating of JPMorgan at the time of the transfer and (2) AA by Standard and Poors Rating Group, Inc. or its successor ( S&P ), or Aa3 by Moodys Investor Service, Inc. ( Moodys ) or, if either S&P or Moodys ceases to rate such debt, at least an equivalent rating or better by a substitute rating agency mutually agreed by Counterparty and JPMorgan. If after JPMorgans commercially reasonable efforts, JPMorgan is unable to effect such a transfer or assignment on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to JPMorgan and within a time period reasonably acceptable to JPMorgan of a sufficient number of Options to reduce (1) the number of shares that JPM Group directly or indirectly beneficially owns to 8.0% of Counterpartys outstanding Shares or less or (2) the quotient of (x) the product of (A) the Number of Options and (B) the Option Entitlement divided by (y) the number of Counterpartys outstanding Shares (such quotient expressed as a percentage, the Option Equity Percentage ) to 14.5% or less, JPMorgan may designate any Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion (the Terminated Portion ) of this Transaction, such that (1) the number of Shares that JPM Group directly or indirectly beneficially owns following such partial termination will be equal to or less than 8.0% of Counterpartys outstanding Shares or (2) the Option Equity Percentage following such partial termination will be equal to or less than 14.5%. In the event that JPMorgan so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of this Transaction, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (1) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to this Transaction and a Number of Options equal to the Terminated Portion, (2) Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (3) such Transaction shall be the only Terminated Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 9(l) shall apply to any amount that is payable by JPMorgan to Counterparty pursuant to this sentence as if Counterparty was not the Affected Party). JPM Group means JPMorgan and each business unit of its affiliates subject to aggregation with JPMorgan under Section 13 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder. | |||
(iii) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing JPMorgan to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any shares or other securities to or from Counterparty, JPMorgan may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such shares or other securities and otherwise to perform JPMorgans obligations in respect of this Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. JPMorgan shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such performance. | |||
(f) | Staggered Settlement . If upon advice of counsel with respect to applicable legal and regulatory requirements, including any requirements relating to JPMorgans hedging activities hereunder, JPMorgan reasonably determines that it would not be practicable or advisable to deliver, or to acquire Shares to deliver, any or all of the Shares to be delivered by JPMorgan on the Settlement Date for the Transaction, JPMorgan may, by notice to Counterparty on or prior to any Settlement Date (a Nominal Settlement Date ), elect to deliver the Shares on two or more dates (each, a Staggered Settlement Date ) as follows: |
(a) | in such notice, JPMorgan will specify to Counterparty the related Staggered Settlement Dates (the first of which will be such Nominal Settlement Date and the last of which will be no later than the twentieth (20th) Exchange Business Day following such Nominal Settlement Date) and the number of Shares that it will deliver on each Staggered Settlement Date; |
12
(b) | the aggregate number of Shares that JPMorgan will deliver to Counterparty hereunder on all such Staggered Settlement Dates will equal the number of Shares that JPMorgan would otherwise be required to deliver on such Nominal Settlement Date; and | ||
(c) | if the Net Share Settlement terms set forth above were to apply on the Nominal Settlement Date, then the Net Share Settlement terms will apply on each Staggered Settlement Date, except that the Net Shares will be allocated among such Staggered Settlement Dates as specified by JPMorgan in the notice referred to in clause (a) above. |
(g) | Role of Agent . Each party agrees and acknowledges that (i) J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., an affiliate of JPMorgan ( JPMSI ), has acted solely as agent and not as principal with respect to this Transaction and (ii) JPMSI has no obligation or liability, by way of guaranty, endorsement or otherwise, in any manner in respect of this Transaction (including, if applicable, in respect of the settlement thereof). Each party agrees it will look solely to the other party (or any guarantor in respect thereof) for performance of such other partys obligations under this Transaction. | ||
(h) | Dividends . If at any time during the period from and excluding the Trade Date, to but excluding the Expiration Date, an ex-dividend date for a cash dividend occurs with respect to the Shares, then the Calculation Agent will make a corresponding adjustment to any one or more of the Strike Price, Number of Options, the Option Entitlement and/or any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment for the Transaction to preserve the fair value of the Options to JPMorgan after taking into account such dividend or lack thereof. | ||
(i) | Additional Termination Events . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation if an event of default with respect to Counterparty shall occur under the terms of the Convertible Notes as set forth in Section 6.01 of the Base Indenture or Section 7.01 of the Supplemental Indenture, then such event of default shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction and, with respect to such event of default (A) Counterparty shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party and the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (B) JPMorgan shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement. | ||
(j) | Amendments to Equity Definitions . (i) Section 12.6(a)(ii) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by (1) deleting from the fourth line thereof the word or after the word official and inserting a comma therefor, and (2) deleting the semi-colon at the end of subsection (B) thereof and inserting the following words therefor or (C) at JPMorgans option, the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(1) through (9) of the ISDA Master Agreement with respect to that Issuer. | ||
(ii) Section 12.9(b)(i) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by (1) replacing either party may elect with JPMorgan may elect and (2) replacing notice to the other party with notice to Counterparty in the first sentence of such section. | |||
(k) | Setoff . Neither party shall have the right to set off any obligation that it may have to the other party under this Transaction against any obligation such other party may have to it, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation or any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise. | ||
(l) | Alternative Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events . If in respect of this Transaction, an amount is payable by JPMorgan to Counterparty (i) pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity |
13
Definitions or (ii) pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (a Payment Obligation ), Counterparty may request JPMorgan to satisfy any such Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative (as defined below) (except that Counterparty shall not make such an election in the event of a Nationalization, Insolvency, a Merger Event or Tender Offer, in each case, in which the consideration to be paid to holders of Shares consists solely of cash, or an Event of Default in which Counterparty is the Defaulting Party or a Termination Event in which Counterparty is the Affected Party, other than an Event of Default of the type described in Section 5(a)(iii), (v), (vi), (vii) or (viii) of the Agreement or a Termination Event of the type described in Section 5(b) of the Agreement in each case that resulted from an event or events outside Counterpartys control) and shall give irrevocable telephonic notice to JPMorgan, confirmed in writing within one Currency Business Day, no later than 12:00 p.m. New York local time on the Merger Date, the Announcement Date (in the case of Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), the Early Termination Date or date of cancellation, as applicable; provided that if Counterparty does not validly request JPMorgan to satisfy its Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative, JPMorgan shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to satisfy its Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative, notwithstanding Counterpartys election to the contrary. In calculating any amounts under Section 6(e) of the Agreement, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, (1) separate amounts shall be calculated as set forth in Section 6(e) with respect to (i) this Transaction and (ii) all other Transactions, and (2) such separate amounts shall be payable pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement. |
|
Share Termination Alternative: | Applicable and means that JPMorgan shall deliver to Counterparty the Share Termination Delivery Property on, or within a commercially reasonable period of time after, the date when the Payment Obligation would otherwise be due pursuant to Section 12.7 or 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or Section 6(d)(ii) and 6(e) of the Agreement, as applicable (the Share Termination Payment Date ), in satisfaction of the Payment Obligation in the manner reasonably requested by Counterparty free of payment. | ||
|
||||
|
Share Termination Delivery Property: | A number of Share Termination Delivery Units, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the Payment Obligation divided by the Share Termination Unit Price. The Calculation Agent shall adjust the Share Termination Delivery Property by replacing any fractional portion of a security therein with an amount of cash equal to the value of such fractional security based on the values used to calculate the Share Termination Unit Price. | ||
|
||||
|
Share Termination Unit Price: | The value to JPMorgan of property contained in one Share Termination Delivery Unit, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its discretion by commercially reasonable means and notified by the Calculation Agent to JPMorgan at the |
14
|
time of notification of the Payment Obligation. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that in determining the Share Termination Delivery Unit Price the Calculation Agent may consider the purchase price paid in connection with the purchase of Share Termination Delivery Property. | |||
|
||||
|
Share Termination Delivery Unit: | One Share or, if a Merger Event has occurred and a corresponding adjustment to this Transaction has been made, a unit consisting of the number or amount of each type of property received by a holder of one Share (without consideration of any requirement to pay cash or other consideration in lieu of fractional amounts of any securities) in such Merger Event, as determined by the Calculation Agent. | ||
|
Failure to Deliver: | Applicable | ||
|
||||
|
Other applicable provisions: | If Share Termination Alternative is applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.11, 9.12 and 10.5 (as modified above) of the Equity Definitions will be applicable, except that all references in such provisions to Physically-settled shall be read as references to Share Termination Settled and all references to Shares shall be read as references to Share Termination Delivery Units. Share Termination Settled in relation to this Transaction means that Share Termination Alternative is applicable to this Transaction. |
(m) | Governing Law . New York law (without reference to choice of law doctrine). | ||
(n) | Waiver of Jury Trial .

(o) | Registration . Counterparty hereby agrees that if, in the good faith reasonable judgment of JPMorgan, the Shares ( Hedge Shares ) acquired by JPMorgan for the purpose of hedging its obligations pursuant to this Transaction cannot be sold in the public market by JPMorgan without registration under the Securities Act, Counterparty shall, at its election, either (i) in order to allow JPMorgan to sell the Hedge Shares in a registered offering, make available to JPMorgan an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and enter into an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to JPMorgan, substantially in the form of an underwriting agreement for a registered secondary offering; provided , however , that if JPMorgan, in its reasonable discretion, |
15
based on its customary practices for similar offerings, is not satisfied with access to due diligence materials, the results of its due diligence investigation, or the procedures and documentation for the registered offering referred to above, then clause (ii) or clause (iii) of this paragraph shall apply at the election of Counterparty, (ii) in order to allow JPMorgan to sell the Hedge Shares in a private placement, enter into a private placement agreement substantially similar to private placement purchase agreements customary for private placements of equity securities, in form and substance satisfactory to JPMorgan (in which case, the Calculation Agent shall make any adjustments to the terms of this Transaction that are necessary, in its reasonable judgment, to compensate JPMorgan for any discount from the public market price of the Shares incurred on the sale of Hedge Shares in a private placement), or (iii) purchase the Hedge Shares from JPMorgan at the Reference Price on such Exchange Business Days, and in the amounts, requested by JPMorgan. | |||
(p) | Tax Disclosure . Effective from the date of commencement of discussions concerning the Transaction, Counterparty and each of its employees, representatives, or other agents may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the Transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to Counterparty relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. | ||
(q) | Right to Extend . If, in its commercially reasonable judgment and based on the advice of counsel, JPMorgan determines that, in light of existing liquidity conditions, its hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder would not be advisable in light of applicable laws and regulations and interpretations thereof, then JPMorgan may postpone, in whole or in part, any Settlement Date or any other date of valuation or delivery with respect to some or all of the Options hereunder, to the extent that such extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate to address such applicable laws and regulations. | ||
(r) | Status of Claims in Bankruptcy . JPMorgan acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to convey to JPMorgan rights against Counterparty with respect to the Transaction that are senior to the claims of common stockholders of Counterparty in any United States bankruptcy proceedings of Counterparty; provided that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit JPMorgans right to pursue remedies in the event of a breach by Counterparty of its obligations and agreements with respect to the Transaction; provided , further , that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit JPMorgans rights in respect of any transactions other than the Transaction. | ||
(s) | Securities Contract; Swap Agreement .

(t) | Additional Provisions . Counterparty covenants and agrees that as promptly as practicable following the public announcement of any consolidation, merger and binding share exchange to which Counterparty is a party, or any sale of all or substantially all of Counterpartys assets, in each case pursuant to which the Shares will be converted into cash, securities or other property, Counterparty shall notify JPMorgan in writing of the types and amounts of consideration that holders of Shares have elected to receive upon |
16
consummation of such transaction or event (the date of such notification, the Consideration Notification Date ); provided that in no event shall the Consideration Notification Date be later than the date on which such transaction or event is consummated. | |||
(u) | Receipt or Delivery of Cash . For the avoidance of doubt, other than payment of the Premium by Counterparty, nothing in this Confirmation shall be interpreted as requiring Counterparty to receive or deliver cash in respect of the settlement of the Transaction contemplated by this Confirmation, except in circumstances where the cash settlement thereof is within Counterpartys control (including, without limitation, where an Event of Default by Counterparty has occurred under Section 5(a)(ii) or Section 5(a)(iv) of the Agreement, where Counterparty elects to receive or deliver cash or fails timely to elect to receive or deliver Share Termination Delivery Property in respect of the settlement of such Transaction) or in those circumstances in which holders of the Shares would also receive cash. |

(C) | Company has a net worth in excess of USD 1,000,000 and has entered into this Agreement in connection with the conduct of Companys business or to manage the risk associated with an asset or liability owned or incurred or reasonably likely to be owned or incurred by Company in the conduct of Companys business. |

(a) | Opinions . Company shall deliver an opinion of counsel, dated as of the Trade Date, to JPMorgan with respect to the matters set forth in Sections 8(a) through (d) of this Confirmation. | ||
(b) | Repurchase Notices . Company shall, on any day on which Company effects any repurchase of Shares, promptly give JPMorgan a written notice of such repurchase (a Repurchase Notice ) on such day if following such repurchase, the number of outstanding Shares on such day, subject to any adjustments provided herein, is (i) less than 41.24 million (in the case of the first such notice) or (ii) thereafter more than 1.3 million less than the number of Shares included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice.

8
controlling persons (each, an Indemnified Person ) from and against any and all losses (including losses relating to JPMorgans hedging activities as a consequence of becoming, or of the risk of becoming, a Section 16 insider, including without limitation, any forbearance from hedging activities or cessation of hedging activities and any losses in connection therewith with respect to this Transaction), claims, damages, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees), joint or several, which an Indemnified Person actually may become subject to, as a result of Companys failure to provide JPMorgan with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this paragraph, and to reimburse, within 30 days, upon written request, each of such Indemnified Persons for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing for, providing testimony or other evidence in connection with or defending any of the foregoing. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against the Indemnified Person, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Company in writing, and Company, upon request of the Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others Company may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding.

Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding on terms reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person. If the indemnification provided for in this paragraph is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then Company under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities. The remedies provided for in this paragraph are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this paragraph shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Transaction. | |||
(c) | Regulation M . Company is not on the date hereof engaged in a distribution, as such term is used in Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act ), of any securities of Company, other than (i) a distribution meeting the requirements of the exception set forth in Rules 101(b)(10) and 102(b)(7) of Regulation M and (ii) the distribution of USD 155,000,000 principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes due 2015. Company shall not, until the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the Trade Date, engage in any such distribution. | ||
(d) | No Manipulation . Company is not entering into this Transaction to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or otherwise in violation of the Exchange Act. | ||
(e) | Transfer or Assignment . Company may not transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Transaction without the prior written consent of JPMorgan. JPMorgan may, without Companys consent, transfer or assign all or any part of its rights or obligations under this Transaction to any third party. If after JPMorgans commercially reasonable efforts, JPMorgan is unable to effect such a transfer or assignment on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to JPMorgan and within a time period reasonably acceptable to JPMorgan of a sufficient number of Warrants to reduce (i) the number of Shares that JPM Group directly or indirectly beneficially owns (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder) to 8.0% of Companys outstanding Shares or less or (ii) the quotient of (x) the product of (a) the Number of Warrants and (b) the Warrant Entitlement divided by (y) the number of Companys outstanding Shares (such |
9
quotient expressed as a percentage, the Warrant Equity Percentage ) to 14.5% or less, JPMorgan may designate any Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion (the Terminated Portion ) of this Transaction, such that (i) the number of Shares that JPM Group directly or indirectly beneficially owns following such partial termination will be equal to or less than 8.0% of Companys outstanding Shares or (ii) the Warrant Equity Percentage following such partial termination will be equal to or less than 14.5%. In the event that JPMorgan so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of this Transaction, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (i) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to this Transaction and a Number of Warrants equal to the Terminated Portion, (ii) Company shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (iii) such Transaction shall be the only Terminated Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of paragraph 9(j) shall apply to any amount that is payable by Company to JPMorgan pursuant to this sentence). Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing JPMorgan to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to or from Company, JPMorgan may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities and otherwise to perform JPMorgans obligations in respect of this Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. JPMorgan shall be discharged of its obligations to Company to the extent of any such performance. JPM Group means JPMorgan and each business unit of its affiliates subject to aggregation with JPMorgan under Section 13 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder. | |||
(f) | Dividends . If at any time during the period from and excluding the Trade Date, to and including the Expiration Date, an ex-dividend date for a cash dividend occurs with respect to the Shares, then the Calculation Agent will adjust any of the Strike Price, Number of Warrants and/or Daily Number of Warrants to preserve the fair value of the Warrants to JPMorgan after taking into account such dividend or lack thereof. | ||
(g) | Role of Agent. Each party agrees and acknowledges that (i) J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., an affiliate of JPMorgan ( JPMSI ), has acted solely as agent and not as principal with respect to this Transaction and (ii) JPMSI has no obligation or liability, by way of guaranty, endorsement or otherwise, in any manner in respect of this Transaction (including, if applicable, in respect of the settlement thereof). Each party agrees it will look solely to the other party (or any guarantor in respect thereof) for performance of such other partys obligations under this Transaction. | ||
(h) | Additional Provisions . |
10
(E) | Section 12.9(b)(iv) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by: |
(F) | Section 12.9(b)(v) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by: |
11
(i) | No Collateral or Setoff . Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement or any other agreement between the parties to the contrary, the obligations of Company hereunder are not secured by any collateral. Neither party shall have the right to set off any obligation that it may have to the other party under this Transaction against any obligation such other party may have to it, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation or any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise. | ||
(j) | Alternative Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events . If, in respect of this Transaction, an amount is payable by Company to JPMorgan, (i) pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions (except in the event of an Insolvency, Nationalization, Tender Offer or Merger Event in which the consideration or proceeds to be paid to holders of shares consists solely of cash) or (ii) pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (except in the event of an Event of Default in which Company is the Defaulting Party or a Termination Event in which Company is the Affected Party, other than an Event of Default of the type described in (x) Section 5(a)(iii), (v), (vi), (vii) or (viii) of the Agreement or (y) a Termination Event of the type described in Section 5(b) of the Agreement, in the case of both (x) and (y), resulting from an event or events outside Companys control) (a Payment Obligation ), Company shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to satisfy any such Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative (as defined below) by giving irrevocable telephonic notice to JPMorgan, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day, no later than 12:00 p.m. New York local time on the Merger Date, Tender Offer Date, Announcement Date (in the case of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), Early Termination Date or date of cancellation, as applicable; provided that if Company does not validly elect to satisfy its Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative, JPMorgan shall have the right to require Company to satisfy its Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Companys or JPMorgans right to elect satisfaction of a Payment Obligation in the Share Termination Alternative as set forth in this clause shall only apply to Transactions under this Confirmation and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, (1) separate amounts shall be calculated with respect to (a) Transactions hereunder and (b) all other Transactions under the Agreement, and (2) such separate amounts shall be payable pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, subject to, in the case of clause (a), Companys Share Termination Alternative right hereunder. |
|
Share Termination Alternative: | If applicable, Company shall deliver to JPMorgan the Share Termination Delivery Property on the date (the |
12
|
Share Termination Payment Date ) on which the Payment Obligation would otherwise be due pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, as applicable, subject to paragraph (k)(i) below, in satisfaction, subject to paragraph (k)(ii) below, of the Payment Obligation in the manner reasonably requested by JPMorgan free of payment. | |||
|
||||
|
Share Termination Delivery Property: | A number of Share Termination Delivery Units, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the Payment Obligation divided by the Share Termination Unit Price. The Calculation Agent shall adjust the amount of Share Termination Delivery Property by replacing any fractional portion of a security therein with an amount of cash equal to the value of such fractional security based on the values used to calculate the Share Termination Unit Price. | ||
|
||||
|
Share Termination Unit Price: | The value to JPMorgan of property contained in one Share Termination Delivery Unit on the date such Share Termination Delivery Units are to be delivered as Share Termination Delivery Property, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its discretion by commercially reasonable means. The Calculation Agent shall notify Company of such Share Termination Unit Price at the time of notification of the Payment Obligation. In the case of a Private Placement of Share Termination Delivery Units that are Restricted Shares (as defined below), as set forth in paragraph (k)(i) below, the Share Termination Unit Price shall be determined by the discounted price applicable to such Share Termination Delivery Units. In the case of a Registration Settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units that are Restricted Shares (as defined below) as set forth in paragraph (k)(ii) below, the Share Termination Unit Price shall be the Settlement Price on the Merger Date, the Tender Offer Date, the Announcement Date (in the case of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), the date of cancellation or the Early Termination Date, as applicable. | ||
|
||||
|
Share Termination Delivery Unit: | In the case of a Termination Event, Event of Default Additional Disruption Event or Delisting, one Share or, in the case of Nationalization, Insolvency, Tender Offer or Merger Event, a unit consisting of the number or amount of each type of property received by a holder of one Share (without consideration of any requirement to pay cash or other consideration in lieu of fractional amounts of any securities) in such Nationalization, Insolvency, Tender Offer or Merger Event. If such Nationalization, Insolvency, Tender Offer or Merger Event involves a choice of consideration to be received by holders, such holder |
13
|
shall be deemed to have elected to receive the maximum possible amount of cash. | |||
|
||||
|
Failure to Deliver: | Inapplicable | ||
|
||||
|
Other applicable provisions: | If Share Termination Alternative is applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.11, 9.12 and 10.5 (as modified above) of the Equity Definitions will be applicable, except that all references in such provisions to Physically-settled shall be read as references to Share Termination Settled and all references to Shares shall be read as references to Share Termination Delivery Units. Share Termination Settled in relation to this Transaction means that Share Termination Alternative is applicable to this Transaction. |
(k) | Registration/Private Placement Procedures . If, in the reasonable opinion of JPMorgan, following any delivery of Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property to JPMorgan hereunder, such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property would be in the hands of JPMorgan subject to any applicable restrictions with respect to any registration or qualification requirement or prospectus delivery requirement for such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities law (including, without limitation, any such requirement arising under Section 5 of the Securities Act as a result of such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property being restricted securities, as such term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or as a result of the sale of such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property being subject to paragraph (c) of Rule 145 under the Securities Act) (such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property, Restricted Shares ), then delivery of such Restricted Shares shall be effected pursuant to either clause (i) or (ii) below at the election of Company, unless JPMorgan waives the need for registration/private placement procedures set forth in (i) and (ii) below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely in respect of any Daily Number of Warrants exercised or deemed exercised on any Expiration Date, Company shall elect, prior to the first Settlement Date for the first Expiration Date, a Private Placement Settlement or Registration Settlement for all deliveries of Restricted Shares for all such Expiration Dates which election shall be applicable to all Settlement Dates for such Warrants and the procedures in clause (i) or clause (ii) below shall apply for all such delivered Restricted Shares on an aggregate basis commencing after the final Settlement Date for such Warrants. The Calculation Agent shall make reasonable adjustments to settlement terms and provisions under this Confirmation to reflect a single Private Placement or Registration Settlement for such aggregate Restricted Shares delivered hereunder. |
(i) | If Company elects to settle the Transaction pursuant to this clause (i) (a Private Placement Settlement ), then delivery of Restricted Shares by Company shall be effected in customary private placement procedures with respect to such Restricted Shares reasonably acceptable to JPMorgan; provided that Company may not elect a Private Placement Settlement if, on the date of its election, it has taken, or caused to be taken, any action that would make unavailable either the exemption pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for the sale by Company to JPMorgan (or any affiliate designated by JPMorgan) of the Restricted Shares or the exemption pursuant to Section 4(1) or Section 4(3) of the Securities Act for resales of the Restricted Shares by JPMorgan (or any such affiliate of JPMorgan). The Private Placement Settlement of such Restricted Shares shall include customary representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to JPMorgan, due diligence rights (for JPMorgan or any designated buyer of the Restricted Shares by JPMorgan), opinions and certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for private placement agreements, all reasonably acceptable to JPMorgan. In the case of a Private Placement Settlement, JPMorgan shall determine the appropriate discount to the Share Termination Unit Price |
14
(in the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to paragraph (j) above) or any Settlement Price (in the case of settlement of Shares pursuant to Section 2 above) applicable to such Restricted Shares in a commercially reasonable manner and appropriately adjust the number of such Restricted Shares to be delivered to JPMorgan hereunder; provided that in no event shall such number be greater than two times the Number of Shares (the Maximum Amount ). Notwithstanding the Agreement or this Confirmation, the date of delivery of such Restricted Shares shall be the Exchange Business Day following notice by JPMorgan to Company, of such applicable discount and the number of Restricted Shares to be delivered pursuant to this clause (i). For the avoidance of doubt, delivery of Restricted Shares shall be due as set forth in the previous sentence and not be due on the Share Termination Payment Date (in the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to paragraph (j) above) or on the Settlement Date for such Restricted Shares (in the case of settlement in Shares pursuant to Section 2 above). | |||
In the event Company shall not have delivered the full number of Restricted Shares otherwise applicable as a result of the proviso above relating to the Maximum Amount (such deficit, the Deficit Restricted Shares ), Company shall be continually obligated to deliver, from time to time until the full number of Deficit Restricted Shares have been delivered pursuant to this paragraph, Restricted Shares when, and to the extent, that (i) Shares are repurchased, acquired or otherwise received by Company or any of its subsidiaries after the Trade Date (whether or not in exchange for cash, fair value or any other consideration), (ii) authorized and unissued Shares reserved for issuance in respect of other transactions prior to such date which prior to the relevant date become no longer so reserved and (iii) Company additionally authorizes any unissued Shares that are not reserved for other transactions. Company shall immediately notify JPMorgan of the occurrence of any of the foregoing events (including the number of Shares subject to clause (i), (ii) or (iii) and the corresponding number of Restricted Shares to be delivered) and promptly deliver such Restricted Shares thereafter. | |||
(ii) | If Company elects to settle the Transaction pursuant to this clause (ii) (a Registration Settlement ), then Company shall promptly (but in any event no later than the beginning of the Resale Period) file and use its reasonable best efforts to make effective under the Securities Act a registration statement or supplement or amend an outstanding registration statement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to JPMorgan, to cover the resale of such Restricted Shares in accordance with customary resale registration procedures, including covenants, conditions, representations, underwriting discounts (if applicable), commissions (if applicable), indemnities due diligence rights, opinions and certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for equity resale underwriting agreements, all reasonably acceptable to JPMorgan. If JPMorgan, in its sole reasonable discretion, is not satisfied with such procedures and documentation Private Placement Settlement shall apply. If JPMorgan 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 the Share Termination Payment Date in case of settlement in Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to paragraph (j) above or (y) the Settlement Date in respect of the final Expiration Date for all Daily Number of Warrants) and ending on the earliest of (i) the Exchange Business Day on which JPMorgan completes the sale of all Restricted Shares or, in the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units, a sufficient number of Restricted Shares so that the realized net proceeds of such sales equals or exceeds the Payment Obligation (as defined above), (ii) the date upon which all Restricted Shares have been sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 (or similar provisions then in force) or Rule 145(d)(1) or (2) (or any similar provision then in force) under the Securities Act and (iii) the date upon which all Restricted Shares may be sold or transferred by a non-affiliate pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in force) or Rule 145(d)(3) (or any similar provision then in force) under the Securities Act. |
15
If the Payment Obligation exceeds the realized net proceeds from such resale, Company shall transfer to JPMorgan by the open of the regular trading session on the Exchange on the Exchange Trading Day immediately following the last day of the Resale Period the amount of such excess (the Additional Amount ) in cash or in a number of Shares ( Make-whole Shares ) in an amount that, based on the Settlement Price on the last day of the Resale Period (as if such day was the Valuation Date for purposes of computing such Settlement Price), has a dollar value equal to the Additional Amount. The Resale Period shall continue to enable the sale of the Make-whole Shares. If Company elects to pay the Additional Amount in Shares, the requirements and provisions for Registration Settlement shall apply. This provision shall be applied successively until the Additional Amount is equal to zero. In no event shall Company deliver a number of Restricted Shares greater than the Maximum Amount. | |||
(iii) | Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Company agrees that any Restricted Shares delivered to JPMorgan, as purchaser of such Restricted Shares, (i) may be transferred by and among JPMorgan and its affiliates and Company shall effect such transfer without any further action by JPMorgan and (ii) after the period of 6 months from the Trade Date (or 1 year from the Trade Date if, at such time, informational requirements of Rule 144(c) are not satisfied with respect to Company) has elapsed after any Settlement Date for such Restricted Shares, Company shall promptly remove, or cause the transfer agent for such Restricted Shares to remove, any legends referring to any such restrictions or requirements from such Restricted Shares upon request by JPMorgan (or such affiliate of JPMorgan) 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 JPMorgan (or such affiliate of JPMorgan). |
If the Private Placement Settlement or the Registration Settlement shall not be effected as set forth in clauses (i) or (ii), as applicable, then failure to effect such Private Placement Settlement or such Registration Settlement shall constitute an Event of Default with respect to which Company shall be the Defaulting Party. | |||
(l) | Limit on Beneficial Ownership . Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, JPMorgan may not exercise any Warrant hereunder or be entitled to take delivery of any Shares deliverable hereunder, and Automatic Exercise shall not apply with respect to any Warrant hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after such receipt of any Shares upon the exercise of such Warrant or otherwise hereunder, JPM Group. would directly or indirectly beneficially own (as such term is defined for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) in excess of 7.5% of the then outstanding Shares. Any purported delivery hereunder shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after such delivery, JPM Group would directly or indirectly so beneficially own in excess of 7.5% of the then outstanding Shares. If any delivery owed to JPMorgan hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, Companys 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, JPMorgan gives notice to Company that, after such delivery, JPM Group would not directly or indirectly so beneficially own in excess of 7.5% of the then outstanding Shares. | ||
(m) | Share Deliveries . Company acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent the holder of this Warrant is not then an affiliate and has not been an affiliate for 90 days (it being understood that JPMorgan will not be considered an affiliate under this paragraph solely by reason of its receipt of Shares pursuant to this Transaction), and otherwise satisfies all holding period and other requirements of Rule 144 of the Securities Act applicable to it, any delivery of Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property hereunder at any time after 6 months from the Trade Date (or 1 year from the Trade Date if, at such time, informational requirements of Rule 144(c) are not satisfied with respect to Company) shall be eligible for resale under Rule 144 of the Securities Act and Company agrees to promptly remove, or cause the transfer agent for such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property, to remove, any legends referring to any restrictions on resale under the |
16
Securities Act from the Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property. Company further agrees that any delivery of Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property prior to the date that is 6 months from the Trade Date (or 1 year from the Trade Date if, at such time, informational requirements of Rule 144(c) are not satisfied with respect to Company), may be transferred by and among JPMorgan and its affiliates and Company shall effect such transfer without any further action by JPMorgan. 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent the provisions of Rule 144 of the Securities Act or any successor rule are amended, or the applicable interpretation thereof by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any court change after the Trade Date, the agreements of Company herein shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary, in the opinion of outside counsel of Company, to comply with Rule 144 of the Securities Act, as in effect at the time of delivery of the relevant Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property. | |||
(n) | Governing Law. New York law (without reference to choice of law doctrine). | ||
(o) | Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Transaction. Each party (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of the other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of such a suit, action or proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other party have been induced to enter into this Transaction, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications provided herein. | ||
(p) | 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. | ||
(q) | Maximum Share Delivery. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Confirmation or the Agreement, in no event will Company be required to deliver more than the Maximum Amount of Shares in the aggregate to JPMorgan in connection with this Transaction, subject to the provisions regarding Deficit Restricted Shares | ||
(r) | Right to Extend. JPMorgan may postpone, in whole or in part, any Expiration Date or any other date of valuation or delivery with respect to some or all of the relevant Warrants (in which event the Calculation Agent shall make appropriate adjustments to the Daily Number of Warrants with respect to one or more Expiration Dates) if JPMorgan determines, in its commercially reasonable judgment, that such extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate to preserve JPMorgans hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions or to enable JPMorgan to effect purchases of Shares in connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if JPMorgan 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 JPMorgan. | ||
(s) | Status of Claims in Bankruptcy. JPMorgan acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to convey to JPMorgan 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 JPMorgans right to pursue remedies in the event of a breach by Company of its obligations and agreements with respect to the Transaction; provided , further , that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit JPMorgans rights in respect of any transactions other than the Transaction. |
17
(t) | Securities Contract; Swap Agreement. The parties hereto intend for: (a) the Transaction to be a securities contract and a swap agreement as defined in the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code) (the Bankruptcy Code ), and the parties hereto to be entitled to the protections afforded by, among other Sections, Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 546(e), 546(g), 555 and 560 of the Bankruptcy Code; (b) a partys right to liquidate the Transaction and to exercise any other remedies upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Agreement with respect to the other party to constitute a contractual right as described in the Bankruptcy Code; and (c) each payment and delivery of cash, securities or other property hereunder to constitute a margin payment or settlement payment and a transfer as defined in the Bankruptcy Code. | ||
(u) | 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 deliver or receive cash in respect of the settlement of the Transaction contemplated by this Confirmation, except in circumstances where the cash settlement thereof is within Companys control (including, without limitation, where an Event of Default by Company has occurred under Section 5(a)(ii) or Section 5(a)(iv) of the Agreement, where Company elects to deliver or receive cash or fails timely to elect to deliver or receive Share Termination Delivery Property in respect of the settlement of such Transaction) or in those circumstances in which holders of the Shares would also receive cash. | ||
(v) | Future Agreement . Company agrees not to enter into any agreement (including, without limitation, any credit facility) that would prohibit Company from performing its obligations hereunder (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement). |

(b) | Neither the execution and delivery of this Confirmation nor the incurrence or performance of obligations of Counterparty hereunder will conflict with or result in a breach of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or any equivalent documents) of Counterparty, or any applicable law or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or agency, or any agreement or instrument to which Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries is subject, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien under, any such agreement or instrument. | ||
(c) | No consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or filing with, any governmental agency or body or any court is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by Counterparty of this Confirmation, except such as have been obtained or made and such as may be required under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act ) or state securities laws. | ||
(d) | Counterparty is not and will not be required to register as an investment company as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. | ||

Counterparty is a corporation, partnership, proprietorship, organization, trust or other entity and: |
(A) | Counterparty has total assets in excess of USD 10,000,000; |
9
(B) | the obligations of Counterparty hereunder are guaranteed, or otherwise supported by a letter of credit or keepwell, support or other agreement, by an entity of the type described in Section 1a(12)(A)(i) through (iv), 1a(12)(A)(v)(I), 1a(12)(A)(vii) or 1a(12)(C) of the CEA; or | ||

(b) | Repurchase Notices .

Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless UBS 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 UBSs hedging activities as a consequence of becoming, or of the risk of becoming, a Section 16 insider, including without limitation, any forbearance from hedging activities or cessation of hedging activities and any losses in connection therewith with respect to this Transaction), claims, damages, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees), joint or several, which an Indemnified Person may become subject to, as a result of Counterpartys failure to provide UBS with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this paragraph, and to reimburse, within 30 days, upon written request, each of such Indemnified Persons for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing for, providing testimony or other evidence in connection with or defending any of the foregoing. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against the Indemnified Person as a result of Counterpartys failure to provide UBS with a Repurchase Notice in accordance with this paragraph, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Counterparty in writing, and Counterparty, upon request of the Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others Counterparty may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding.

Counterparty shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding contemplated by this paragraph that is in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such |
10
proceeding on terms reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person. If the indemnification provided for in this paragraph is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then Counterparty hereunder, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities. The remedies provided for in this paragraph (b) are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Party at law or in equity.

11
(f) | Staggered Settlement .

(a) | in such notice, UBS will specify to Counterparty the related Staggered Settlement Dates (the first of which will be such Nominal Settlement Date and the last of which will be no later than the twentieth (20th) Exchange Business Day following such Nominal Settlement Date) and the number of Shares that it will deliver on each Staggered Settlement Date; |

(h) | Dividends .

(i) | Additional Termination Events . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation if an event of default with respect to Counterparty shall occur under the terms of the Convertible Notes as set forth in Section 6.01 of the Base Indenture or Section 7.01 of the Supplemental Indenture, then such event of default shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction and, with respect to such event of default (A) Counterparty shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party and the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (B) UBS shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement. | ||

13
(l) | Alternative Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events . If in respect of this Transaction, an amount is payable by UBS to Counterparty (i) pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or (ii) pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (a Payment Obligation ), Counterparty may request UBS to satisfy any such Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative (as defined below) (except that Counterparty shall not make such an election in the event of a Nationalization, Insolvency, a Merger Event or Tender Offer, in each case, in which the consideration to be paid to holders of Shares consists solely of cash, or an Event of Default in which Counterparty is the Defaulting Party or a Termination Event in which Counterparty is the Affected Party, other than an Event of Default of the type described in Section 5(a)(iii), (v), (vi), (vii) or (viii) of the Agreement or a Termination Event of the type described in Section 5(b) of the Agreement in each case that resulted from an event or events outside Counterpartys control) and shall give irrevocable telephonic notice to UBS, confirmed in writing within one Currency Business Day, no later than 12:00 p.m. New York local time on the Merger Date, the Announcement Date (in the case of Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), the Early Termination Date or date of cancellation, as applicable; provided that if Counterparty does not validly request UBS to satisfy its Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative, UBS shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to satisfy its Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative, notwithstanding Counterpartys election to the contrary. In calculating any amounts under Section 6(e) of the Agreement, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, (1) separate amounts shall be calculated as set forth in Section 6(e) with respect to (i) this Transaction and (ii) all other Transactions, and (2) such separate amounts shall be payable pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement. |
Share Termination Alternative:
|
Applicable and means that UBS shall deliver to Counterparty the Share Termination Delivery Property on, or within a commercially reasonable period of time after, the date when the Payment Obligation would otherwise be due pursuant to Section 12.7 or 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or Section 6(d)(ii) and 6(e) of the Agreement, as applicable (the Share Termination Payment Date ), in satisfaction of the Payment Obligation in the manner reasonably requested by Counterparty free of payment. | |

||
Share Termination Delivery Unit:

15
above, then clause (ii) or clause (iii) of this paragraph shall apply at the election of Counterparty, (ii) in order to allow UBS to sell the Hedge Shares in a private placement, enter into a private placement agreement substantially similar to private placement purchase agreements customary for private placements of equity securities, in form and substance satisfactory to UBS (in which case, the Calculation Agent shall make any adjustments to the terms of this Transaction that are necessary, in its reasonable judgment, to compensate UBS for any discount from the public market price of the Shares incurred on the sale of Hedge Shares in a private placement), or (iii) purchase the Hedge Shares from UBS at the Reference Price on such Exchange Business Days, and in the amounts, requested by UBS. | |||
(p) | Tax Disclosure .

(q) | Right to Extend . If, in its commercially reasonable judgment and based on the advice of counsel, UBS determines that, in light of existing liquidity conditions, its hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder would not be advisable in light of applicable laws and regulations and interpretations thereof, then UBS may postpone, in whole or in part, any Settlement Date or any other date of valuation or delivery with respect to some or all of the Options hereunder, to the extent that such extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate to address such applicable laws and regulations. | ||
(r) | Status of Claims in Bankruptcy . UBS acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to convey to UBS rights against Counterparty with respect to the Transaction that are senior to the claims of common stockholders of Counterparty in any United States bankruptcy proceedings of Counterparty; provided that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit UBSs right to pursue remedies in the event of a breach by Counterparty of its obligations and agreements with respect to the Transaction; provided , further , that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit UBSs rights in respect of any transactions other than the Transaction. | ||
(s) | Securities Contract; Swap Agreement .

|
For any Settlement Date, a number of Shares, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the Net Share Settlement Amount for such Settlement Date divided by the Settlement Price on the |

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

|

(b) | Neither the execution and delivery of this Confirmation nor the incurrence or performance of obligations of Company hereunder will conflict with or result in a breach of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or any equivalent documents) of Company, or any applicable law or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or agency, or any agreement or instrument to which Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which Company or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien under, any such agreement or instrument. | ||
(c) | No consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or filing with, any governmental agency or body or any court is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by Company of this Confirmation, except such as have been obtained or made and such as may be required under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act ) or state securities laws. | ||
(d) | The Shares of Company initially issuable upon exercise of the Warrant by the net share settlement method (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 Warrant following the exercise of the Warrant in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Warrant, will be validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable, and the issuance of the Warrant Shares will not be subject to any preemptive or similar rights. | ||
(e) | Company is not and will not be required to register as an investment company as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. | ||
(f) | Company is an eligible contract participant (as such term is defined in Section 1a(12) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended (the CEA )) because one or more of the following is true: | ||
Company is a corporation, partnership, proprietorship, organization, trust or other entity and: |
(A) | Company has total assets in excess of USD 10,000,000; | ||
(B) | the obligations of Company hereunder are guaranteed, or otherwise supported by a letter of credit or keepwell, support or other agreement, by an entity of the type described in Section 1a(12)(A)(i) through (iv), 1a(12)(A)(v)(I), 1a(12)(A)(vii) or 1a(12)(C) of the CEA; or | ||

(g) | Company and each of its affiliates is not, on the date hereof, in possession of any material non-public information with respect to Company. |
9. | Other Provisions: |
(a) | Opinions . Company shall deliver an opinion of counsel, dated as of the Trade Date, to UBS with respect to the matters set forth in Sections 8(a) through (d) of this Confirmation. | ||
(b) | Repurchase Notices . Company shall, on any day on which Company effects any repurchase of Shares, promptly give UBS a written notice of such repurchase (a Repurchase Notice ) on such day if following such repurchase, the number of outstanding Shares on such day, subject to any adjustments provided herein, is (i) less than 41.24 million (in the case of the first such notice) or (ii) thereafter more than 1.3 million less than the number of Shares included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice. Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless UBS 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 UBSs hedging activities as a consequence of becoming, or of the risk of becoming, a Section 16 insider, including without limitation, any forbearance from hedging activities or cessation of hedging activities and any losses in connection therewith with respect to this Transaction), claims, damages, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees), joint or several, which an Indemnified Person actually may become subject to, as a result of Companys failure to provide UBS with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this paragraph, and to reimburse, within 30 days, upon written request, each of such Indemnified Persons for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing for, providing testimony or other evidence in connection with or defending any of the foregoing. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against the Indemnified Person, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Company in writing, and Company, upon request of the Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others Company may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, Company agrees to indemnify any Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding on terms reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person. If the indemnification provided for in this paragraph is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then Company under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities. The remedies provided for in this paragraph are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this paragraph shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Transaction. | ||
(c) | Regulation M . Company is not on the date hereof engaged in a distribution, as such term is used in Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act ), of any securities of Company, other than (i) a distribution meeting the requirements of the exception set forth in Rules 101(b)(10) and 102(b)(7) of Regulation M and (ii) the distribution of USD 155,000,000 principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes due 2015. Company shall not, |
9
until the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the Trade Date, engage in any such distribution. | |||
(d) | No Manipulation . Company is not entering into this Transaction to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or otherwise in violation of the Exchange Act. | ||
(e) | Transfer or Assignment . Company may not transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Transaction without the prior written consent of UBS. UBS may, without Companys consent, transfer or assign all or any part of its rights or obligations under this Transaction to any third party. If after UBSs commercially reasonable efforts, UBS is unable to effect such a transfer or assignment on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to UBS and within a time period reasonably acceptable to UBS of a sufficient number of Warrants to reduce (i) the number of Shares that UBS Group directly or indirectly beneficially owns (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder) to 8.0% of Companys outstanding Shares or less or (ii) the quotient of (x) the product of (a) the Number of Warrants and (b) the Warrant Entitlement divided by (y) the number of Companys outstanding Shares (such quotient expressed as a percentage, the Warrant Equity Percentage ) to 14.5% or less, UBS may designate any Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion (the Terminated Portion ) of this Transaction, such that (i) the number of Shares that UBS Group directly or indirectly beneficially owns following such partial termination will be equal to or less than 8.0% of Companys outstanding Shares or (ii) the Warrant Equity Percentage following such partial termination will be equal to or less than 14.5%. In the event that UBS so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of this Transaction, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (i) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to this Transaction and a Number of Warrants equal to the Terminated Portion, (ii) Company shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (iii) such Transaction shall be the only Terminated Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of paragraph 9(j) shall apply to any amount that is payable by Company to UBS pursuant to this sentence). Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing UBS to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to or from Company, UBS may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities and otherwise to perform UBSs obligations in respect of this Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. UBS shall be discharged of its obligations to Company to the extent of any such performance. UBS Group means UBS and each business unit of its affiliates subject to aggregation with UBS under Section 13 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder. | ||
(f) | Dividends . If at any time during the period from and excluding the Trade Date, to and including the Expiration Date, an ex-dividend date for a cash dividend occurs with respect to the Shares, then the Calculation Agent will adjust any of the Strike Price, Number of Warrants and/or Daily Number of Warrants to preserve the fair value of the Warrants to UBS after taking into account such dividend or lack thereof. | ||
(g) | Role of Agent. Agent is acting as agent for both parties but does not guarantee the performance of either party and neither UBS nor Company shall contact the other with respect to any matter relating to the Transaction without the direct involvement of Agent; (ii) Agent is not a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation; (iii) Agent, UBS and Company each hereby acknowledges that any transactions by UBS or Agent in the Shares will be undertaken by UBS or Agent, as the case may, as principal for its own account; (iv) without limiting the obligations of UBS or Agent hereunder or in the Agreement, all of the actions to be taken by UBS and Agent in connection with the Transaction, including but not limited to any exercise of any rights with respect to the Warrants, shall be taken by UBS or Agent independently and without any advance or subsequent consultation with Company; and (v) Agent is not authorized to act as agent for Company except to the extent required to satisfy the requirements of Rule 15a-6 under the Exchange Act in respect of the Warrants described hereunder. |
10
(h) | Additional Provisions . |
11
(i) | No Collateral or Setoff . Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement or any other agreement between the parties to the contrary, the obligations of Company hereunder are not secured by any collateral. Neither party shall have the right to set off any obligation that it may have to the other party under this Transaction against any obligation such other party may have to it, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation or any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise. | ||
(j) | Alternative Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events . If, in respect of this Transaction, an amount is payable by Company to UBS, (i) pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions (except in the event of an Insolvency, Nationalization, Tender Offer or Merger Event in which the consideration or proceeds to be paid to holders of shares consists solely of cash) or (ii) pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (except in the event of an Event of Default in which Company is the Defaulting Party or a Termination Event in which Company is the Affected Party, other than an Event of Default of the |
12
type described in (x) Section 5(a)(iii), (v), (vi), (vii) or (viii) of the Agreement or (y) a Termination Event of the type described in Section 5(b) of the Agreement, in the case of both (x) and (y), resulting from an event or events outside Companys control) (a Payment Obligation ), Company shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to satisfy any such Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative (as defined below) by giving irrevocable telephonic notice to UBS, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day, no later than 12:00 p.m. New York local time on the Merger Date, Tender Offer Date, Announcement Date (in the case of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), Early Termination Date or date of cancellation, as applicable; provided that if Company does not validly elect to satisfy its Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative, UBS shall have the right to require Company to satisfy its Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Companys or UBSs right to elect satisfaction of a Payment Obligation in the Share Termination Alternative as set forth in this clause shall only apply to Transactions under this Confirmation and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, (1) separate amounts shall be calculated with respect to (a) Transactions hereunder and (b) all other Transactions under the Agreement, and (2) such separate amounts shall be payable pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, subject to, in the case of clause (a), Companys Share Termination Alternative right hereunder. |
Share Termination Alternative:
|
If applicable, Company shall deliver to UBS the Share Termination Delivery Property on the date (the Share Termination Payment Date ) on which the Payment Obligation would otherwise be due pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, as applicable, subject to paragraph (k)(i) below, in satisfaction, subject to paragraph (k)(ii) below, of the Payment Obligation in the manner reasonably requested by UBS free of payment. | ||
|
|||
Share Termination Delivery Property:
|
A number of Share Termination Delivery Units, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the Payment Obligation divided by the Share Termination Unit Price. The Calculation Agent shall adjust the amount of Share Termination Delivery Property by replacing any fractional portion of a security therein with an amount of cash equal to the value of such fractional security based on the values used to calculate the Share Termination Unit Price. | ||
|
|||
Share Termination Unit Price:
|
The value to UBS of property contained in one Share Termination Delivery Unit on the date such Share Termination Delivery Units are to be delivered as Share Termination Delivery Property, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its discretion by commercially reasonable means. The Calculation Agent shall notify Company of such Share Termination Unit Price at the time of notification of the Payment Obligation. In the case of a Private Placement of Share Termination Delivery Units that are Restricted Shares (as defined below), as set forth in paragraph (k)(i) below, the Share Termination Unit Price shall be determined by the discounted price applicable to such Share Termination Delivery Units. In the case of a Registration Settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units that are Restricted Shares |
13
|
(as defined below) as set forth in paragraph (k)(ii) below, the Share Termination Unit Price shall be the Settlement Price on the Merger Date, the Tender Offer Date, the Announcement Date (in the case of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), the date of cancellation or the Early Termination Date, as applicable. | ||
|
|||
Share Termination Delivery Unit:
|
In the case of a Termination Event, Event of Default Additional Disruption Event or Delisting, one Share or, in the case of Nationalization, Insolvency, Tender Offer or Merger Event, a unit consisting of the number or amount of each type of property received by a holder of one Share (without consideration of any requirement to pay cash or other consideration in lieu of fractional amounts of any securities) in such Nationalization, Insolvency, Tender Offer or Merger Event. If such Nationalization, Insolvency, Tender Offer or Merger Event involves a choice of consideration to be received by holders, such holder shall be deemed to have elected to receive the maximum possible amount of cash. | ||
|
|||
Failure to Deliver:
|
Inapplicable | ||
|
|||
Other applicable provisions:
|
If Share Termination Alternative is applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.11, 9.12 and 10.5 (as modified above) of the Equity Definitions will be applicable, except that all references in such provisions to Physically-settled shall be read as references to Share Termination Settled and all references to Shares shall be read as references to Share Termination Delivery Units.

If, in the reasonable opinion of UBS, following any delivery of Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property to UBS hereunder, such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property would be in the hands of UBS subject to any applicable restrictions with respect to any registration or qualification requirement or prospectus delivery requirement for such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities law (including, without limitation, any such requirement arising under Section 5 of the Securities Act as a result of such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property being restricted securities, as such term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or as a result of the sale of such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property being subject to paragraph (c) of Rule 145 under the Securities Act) (such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property, Restricted Shares ), then delivery of such Restricted Shares shall be effected pursuant to either clause (i) or (ii) below at the election of Company, unless UBS waives the need for registration/private placement procedures set forth in (i) and (ii) below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely in respect of any Daily Number of Warrants exercised or deemed exercised on any Expiration Date, Company shall elect, prior to the first Settlement Date for the first Expiration Date, a Private Placement Settlement or Registration Settlement for all deliveries of Restricted Shares for all such Expiration Dates which election shall be applicable to all Settlement Dates for such Warrants and the procedures in clause (i) or clause (ii) below shall apply for all such delivered Restricted Shares on an aggregate basis commencing after the final Settlement Date for |
14
such Warrants. The Calculation Agent shall make reasonable adjustments to settlement terms and provisions under this Confirmation to reflect a single Private Placement or Registration Settlement for such aggregate Restricted Shares delivered hereunder. |
(i) | If Company elects to settle the Transaction pursuant to this clause (i) (a Private Placement Settlement ), then delivery of Restricted Shares by Company shall be effected in customary private placement procedures with respect to such Restricted Shares reasonably acceptable to UBS; provided that Company may not elect a Private Placement Settlement if, on the date of its election, it has taken, or caused to be taken, any action that would make unavailable either the exemption pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for the sale by Company to UBS (or any affiliate designated by UBS) of the Restricted Shares or the exemption pursuant to Section 4(1) or Section 4(3) of the Securities Act for resales of the Restricted Shares by UBS (or any such affiliate of UBS). The Private Placement Settlement of such Restricted Shares shall include customary representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to UBS, due diligence rights (for UBS or any designated buyer of the Restricted Shares by UBS), opinions and certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for private placement agreements, all reasonably acceptable to UBS. In the case of a Private Placement Settlement, UBS shall determine the appropriate discount to the Share Termination Unit Price (in the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to paragraph (j) above) or any Settlement Price (in the case of settlement of Shares pursuant to Section 2 above) applicable to such Restricted Shares in a commercially reasonable manner and appropriately adjust the number of such Restricted Shares to be delivered to UBS hereunder; provided that in no event shall such number be greater than two times the Number of Shares (the Maximum Amount ). Notwithstanding the Agreement or this Confirmation, the date of delivery of such Restricted Shares shall be the Exchange Business Day following notice by UBS to Company, of such applicable discount and the number of Restricted Shares to be delivered pursuant to this clause (i). For the avoidance of doubt, delivery of Restricted Shares shall be due as set forth in the previous sentence and not be due on the Share Termination Payment Date (in the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to paragraph (j) above) or on the Settlement Date for such Restricted Shares (in the case of settlement in Shares pursuant to Section 2 above). | ||
In the event Company shall not have delivered the full number of Restricted Shares otherwise applicable as a result of the proviso above relating to the Maximum Amount (such deficit, the Deficit Restricted Shares ), Company shall be continually obligated to deliver, from time to time until the full number of Deficit Restricted Shares have been delivered pursuant to this paragraph, Restricted Shares when, and to the extent, that (i) Shares are repurchased, acquired or otherwise received by Company or any of its subsidiaries after the Trade Date (whether or not in exchange for cash, fair value or any other consideration), (ii) authorized and unissued Shares reserved for issuance in respect of other transactions prior to such date which prior to the relevant date become no longer so reserved and (iii) Company additionally authorizes any unissued Shares that are not reserved for other transactions. Company shall immediately notify UBS of the occurrence of any of the foregoing events (including the number of Shares subject to clause (i), (ii) or (iii) and the corresponding number of Restricted Shares to be delivered) and promptly deliver such Restricted Shares thereafter. | |||
(ii) | If Company elects to settle the Transaction pursuant to this clause (ii) (a Registration Settlement ), then Company shall promptly (but in any event no later than the beginning of the Resale Period) file and use its reasonable best efforts to make effective under the Securities Act a registration statement or supplement or amend an outstanding registration statement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to UBS, to cover the resale of such Restricted Shares in accordance with customary resale registration procedures, including covenants, conditions, representations, underwriting discounts (if applicable), commissions (if applicable), indemnities due diligence rights, opinions and |
15
certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for equity resale underwriting agreements, all reasonably acceptable to UBS. If UBS, in its sole reasonable discretion, is not satisfied with such procedures and documentation Private Placement Settlement shall apply. If UBS 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 the Share Termination Payment Date in case of settlement in Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to paragraph (j) above or (y) the Settlement Date in respect of the final Expiration Date for all Daily Number of Warrants) and ending on the earliest of (i) the Exchange Business Day on which UBS completes the sale of all Restricted Shares or, in the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units, a sufficient number of Restricted Shares so that the realized net proceeds of such sales equals or exceeds the Payment Obligation (as defined above), (ii) the date upon which all Restricted Shares have been sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 (or similar provisions then in force) or Rule 145(d)(1) or (2) (or any similar provision then in force) under the Securities Act and (iii) the date upon which all Restricted Shares may be sold or transferred by a non-affiliate pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in force) or Rule 145(d)(3) (or any similar provision then in force) under the Securities Act. If the Payment Obligation exceeds the realized net proceeds from such resale, Company shall transfer to UBS by the open of the regular trading session on the Exchange on the Exchange Trading Day immediately following the last day of the Resale Period the amount of such excess (the Additional Amount ) in cash or in a number of Shares ( Make-whole Shares ) in an amount that, based on the Settlement Price on the last day of the Resale Period (as if such day was the Valuation Date for purposes of computing such Settlement Price), has a dollar value equal to the Additional Amount. The Resale Period shall continue to enable the sale of the Make-whole Shares. If Company elects to pay the Additional Amount in Shares, the requirements and provisions for Registration Settlement shall apply. This provision shall be applied successively until the Additional Amount is equal to zero. In no event shall Company deliver a number of Restricted Shares greater than the Maximum Amount. | |||
(iii) | Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Company agrees that any Restricted Shares delivered to UBS, as purchaser of such Restricted Shares, (i) may be transferred by and among UBS and its affiliates and Company shall effect such transfer without any further action by UBS and (ii) after the period of 6 months from the Trade Date (or 1 year from the Trade Date if, at such time, informational requirements of Rule 144(c) are not satisfied with respect to Company) has elapsed after any Settlement Date for such Restricted Shares, Company shall promptly remove, or cause the transfer agent for such Restricted Shares to remove, any legends referring to any such restrictions or requirements from such Restricted Shares upon request by UBS (or such affiliate of UBS) 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 UBS (or such affiliate of UBS). |
If the Private Placement Settlement or the Registration Settlement shall not be effected as set forth in clauses (i) or (ii), as applicable, then failure to effect such Private Placement Settlement or such Registration Settlement shall constitute an Event of Default with respect to which Company shall be the Defaulting Party. | |||
(l) | Limit on Beneficial Ownership .

Any purported delivery hereunder shall be void and have no effect to the |
16
extent (but only to the extent) that, after such delivery, UBS Group would directly or indirectly so beneficially own in excess of 7.5% of the then outstanding Shares. If any delivery owed to UBS hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, Companys 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, UBS gives notice to Company that, after such delivery, UBS Group would not directly or indirectly so beneficially own in excess of 7.5% of the then outstanding Shares. | |||
(m) | Share Deliveries . Company acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent the holder of this Warrant is not then an affiliate and has not been an affiliate for 90 days (it being understood that UBS will not be considered an affiliate under this paragraph solely by reason of its receipt of Shares pursuant to this Transaction), and otherwise satisfies all holding period and other requirements of Rule 144 of the Securities Act applicable to it, any delivery of Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property hereunder at any time after 6 months from the Trade Date (or 1 year from the Trade Date if, at such time, informational requirements of Rule 144(c) are not satisfied with respect to Company) shall be eligible for resale under Rule 144 of the Securities Act and Company agrees to promptly remove, or cause the transfer agent for such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property, to remove, any legends referring to any restrictions on resale under the Securities Act from the Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property. Company further agrees that any delivery of Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property prior to the date that is 6 months from the Trade Date (or 1 year from the Trade Date if, at such time, informational requirements of Rule 144(c) are not satisfied with respect to Company), may be transferred by and among UBS and its affiliates and Company shall effect such transfer without any further action by UBS. 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. 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. | ||
