Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Indenture and the Notes

On May 17, 2011, Iconix Brand Group, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) under which it agreed to sell to Barclays Capital Inc. (“Barclays”) and Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”) (together, the “Initial Purchasers”), and the Initial Purchasers agreed to purchase from the Company, $275 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 2.50% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016 (the “Notes”). The Purchase Agreement also granted to the Initial Purchasers an over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional $25 million aggregate principal amount of Notes.

The Initial Purchasers subsequently exercised their over-allotment option in full and the closing of the sale of $300 million aggregate principal amount of Notes occurred on May 23, 2011. The net proceeds from the offering, after deducting the Initial Purchasers’ discount but not the estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, were $292.5 million.

The Notes and the shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), issuable in certain circumstances upon conversion of the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company offered and sold the Notes to the Initial Purchasers in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. The Initial Purchasers then sold the Notes to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The Company relied on these exemptions from registration based in part on representations made by the Initial Purchasers in the Purchase Agreement. A copy of the form of Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference; the description of the Purchase Agreement in this report is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

The Notes are governed by an indenture, dated as of May 23, 2011 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”). A copy of the Indenture is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated herein by reference; the description of the Indenture in this report is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Indenture.

The Notes will be convertible into cash and, if applicable, shares of Common Stock (or cash if the Company so elects) based on an initial conversion rate of 32.5169 shares of Common Stock, subject to customary adjustments, per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (which is equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $30.75 per share) only under the following circumstances: prior to February 29, 2016, (1) during any fiscal quarter (and only during such fiscal quarter) beginning after June 30, 2011, if the closing price of the Common Stock for at least 20 trading days in the 30 consecutive trading days ending on and including the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter is more than 130% of the conversion price per share, which is $1,000 divided by the then applicable conversion rate; (2) during the five consecutive business day period immediately following any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for each day of that period was less than 98% of the product of the closing price of the Common Stock and the applicable conversion rate on each such trading day; (3) if specified distributions to holders of the Common Stock are made, as set forth in the Indenture; and (4) if a fundamental change or a make-whole fundamental change occurs, or if the Company engages in certain other corporate transactions. The Notes will also be convertible at the holder’s option at any time on or after March 1, 2016 prior to maturity of the Notes. Upon conversion, a holder will receive an amount in cash equal to the lesser of (a) the principal amount of the Note or (b) the conversion value, determined in the manner set forth in the Indenture. If the conversion value exceeds the principal amount of the Note on the conversion date, the Company will also deliver Common Stock (or cash if the Company so elects) for the conversion value in excess of $1,000.

The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 2.50% per year, payable semiannually in arrears in cash on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2011.

In the event of a change of control or other fundamental change, the holders of the Notes may require the Company to purchase all or a portion of their Notes at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. Holders of the Notes who convert their Notes in connection with a fundamental change or a make-whole fundamental change may be entitled to a make-whole premium in the form of an increase in the conversion rate.

The Notes rank junior in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future secured senior indebtedness, equal in right of payment to all of its existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness and senior in right of payment to all of its existing and future subordinated indebtedness. The Notes are also effectively subordinated in right of payment to the obligations of all of the Company’s subsidiaries, including both their secured and unsecured obligations.

Note Hedge and Warrant Arrangements

In connection with the sale of the Notes, the Company entered into a convertible note hedge with respect to its Common Stock with each of Barclays Bank PLC (“Barclays Bank”), through its agent Barclays, and Goldman Sachs (together with Barclays Bank, the “Counterparties”). Pursuant to the agreements governing these convertible note hedges dated May 17, 2011 and May 18, 2011 (the “Note Hedge Agreements”), the Company has purchased call options (the “Note Hedges”) from the Counterparties covering up to approximately $300 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes. These Note Hedges are designed to offset the Company’s exposure to potential dilution upon conversion of the Notes in the event that the market value per share of the Common Stock at the time of exercise is greater than the strike price of the Note Hedges (which strike price corresponds to the initial conversion price of the Notes, subject to certain customary adjustments). On May 23, 2011, the Company paid an aggregate amount of approximately $58.74 million of the proceeds from the sale of the Notes for the Note Hedges. Goldman Sachs’s performance under its Note Hedge Agreements with the Company is guaranteed by The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.. Copies of the Note Hedge Agreements with Barclays Bank are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and Exhibit 10.6, and copies of the Note Hedge Agreements with Goldman Sachs are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3 and Exhibit 10.7. All Note Hedge Agreements are incorporated herein by reference; the description of the Note Hedge Agreements and the Note Hedges in this report is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Note Hedge Agreements.

The Company also entered into separate warrant transactions with each Counterparty whereby the Company, pursuant to the agreements governing these warrant transactions dated May 17, 2011 and May 18, 2011 (the “Warrant Agreements”), has sold to the Counterparties warrants (the “Warrants”) to acquire up to an aggregate of 9.76 million shares of Common Stock, at a strike price of $40.6175 per share of Common Stock. The Warrants will become exercisable on September 6, 2016 and will expire by the end of 2016. The Company received aggregate proceeds of approximately $28.8 million from the sale of the Warrants on May 23, 2011. Goldman Sachs’s performance under its Warrant Agreements with the Company is guaranteed by The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. Copies of the Warrant Agreements with Barclays Bank are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.4 and Exhibit 10.8, and copies of the Warrant Agreement with Goldman Sachs are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.5 and Exhibit 10.9. All Warrant Agreements are incorporated herein by reference; the description of the Warrant Agreements and the Warrants in this report is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Warrant Agreements.

The convertible note hedge transactions and the warrant transactions are separate transactions, entered into by the Company with the Counterparties, are not part of the terms of the Notes and will not affect the holders’ rights under the Notes. In addition, holders of the Notes will not have any rights with respect to the Note Hedges or the Warrants.

If the market value per share of the Common Stock at the time of conversion of the Notes is above the strike price of the Note Hedges, the Note Hedges entitle the Company to receive from the Counterparties net shares of Common Stock, cash or a combination of shares of Common Stock and cash, depending on the consideration paid on the underlying Notes, based on the excess of the then current market price of the Common Stock over the strike price of the Note Hedges. Additionally, if the market price of the Common Stock at the time of exercise of the Warrants exceeds the strike price of the Warrants, the Company will owe the Counterparties net shares of Common Stock or cash, not offset by the Note Hedges, in an amount based on the excess of the then current market price of the Common Stock over the strike price of the Warrants, which may have a dilutive effect on the Company’s Common Stock.

These transactions will generally have the effect of increasing the conversion price of the Notes to $40.6175 per share of Common Stock, representing a 75% percent premium based on the last reported sale price of $23.21 per share on May 17, 2011.

The Warrants and the underlying Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants have not been registered under the Securities Act, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offering would be unlawful.

Additional terms and conditions are contained in Items 2.03 and 3.02 and are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.03

Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

As disclosed in Item 1.01 above, on May 23, 2011, the Company issued $300 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes. The Company offered and sold the Notes to the Initial Purchasers in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. The Initial Purchasers then sold the Notes to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 2.50% per year, payable semiannually in arrears in cash on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2011. The Notes will mature on June 1, 2016.

In the event of a fundamental change, the holders of the Notes may require the Company to purchase all or a portion of their Notes at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. Holders of the Notes who convert their Notes in connection with a fundamental change may be entitled to a make-whole premium in the form of an increase in the conversion rate, in each case, determined in the applicable manner set forth in the Indenture.

The Notes and the underlying Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. This report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offering would be unlawful.

Additional terms and conditions are contained in Items 1.01 and 3.02 and are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.02.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The Company issued and sold to the Initial Purchasers $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes on May 23, 2011 (after exercise by the Initial Purchasers of their over-allotment option). The net proceeds to the Company after deducting the Initial Purchasers’ discount but excluding estimated offering expenses are estimated to be approximately $292.5 million. The Initial Purchasers received an aggregate commission of $7.5 million in connection with the offering of the Notes.

The Company entered into Warrant Agreements with each of the Counterparties on May 17, 2011 and May 18, 2011, pursuant to which, in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, the Company issued Warrants to the Counterparties to acquire in the aggregate up to the number of shares equal to the maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued in connection with the conversion of the Notes, at a strike price of $40.6175 per share of Common Stock. The Company received aggregate proceeds of approximately $28.8 million from the sale of the Warrants on May 23, 2011.

None of the Notes, the Warrants, or the underlying Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes or the Warrants has been registered under the Securities Act, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. This report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offering would be unlawful.

If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent, or agent for service of notices and demands in any place required by this Indenture, or fails to give the foregoing notice, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company may act as Paying Agent (except for the purposes of Section 7.01 and Article 11).

(c) The Company hereby initially designates the Trustee as Paying Agent, Registrar, Securities Custodian and Conversion Agent, and initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture shall be served.

All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to the Holders under the Securities and this Indenture shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of the Global Security). The rights of beneficial owners in the Global Security shall be exercised only through the Depositary subject to the applicable procedures. The Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and the Conversion Agent shall be entitled to rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners. The Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and the Conversion Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Depositary, and any nominee thereof, that is the registered holder of any Global Security for all purposes of this Indenture relating to such Global Security (including the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest and additional amounts, if any, and the giving of instructions or directions by or to the owner or holder of a beneficial ownership interest in such Global Security) as the sole holder of such Global Security and shall have no obligations to the beneficial owners thereof. None of the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar or the Conversion Agent shall have any responsibility or liability for any acts or omissions of the Depositary with respect to such Global Security, for the records of any such depositary, including records in respect of beneficial ownership interests in respect of any such Global Security, for any transactions between the Depositary and any Agent Member or between or among the Depositary, any such Agent Member and/or any holder or owner of a beneficial interest in such Global Security, or for any transfers of beneficial interests in any such Global Security.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Global Security, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee, or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by any Depositary (or its nominee), as a Holder, with respect to such Global Security or shall impair, as between such Depositary and owners of beneficial interests in such Global Security, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of such Depositary (or its nominee) as Holder of such Global Security.

If the Company or an Affiliate of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall, before 12:00 p.m. (noon), New York City time, on each due date of the principal of, or interest on, any Securities, segregate the money and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee, and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any Default, upon written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to pay forthwith to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent. Upon doing so, the Paying Agent (other than the Company) shall have no further liability for the money.

Section 2.06 Transfer and Exchange .

(a) Subject to compliance with any applicable additional requirements contained in Section 2.13, when a Security is presented to a Registrar with a request to register a transfer thereof or to exchange such Security for an equal principal amount of Securities of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested; provided, however , that every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by an assignment form and, if applicable, a transfer certificate each in the form included in the form of Security attached as Exhibit A hereto, and completed in a manner satisfactory to the Registrar and duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing. To permit registration of transfers and exchanges, upon surrender of any Security for registration of transfer or exchange at an office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 2.03, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Securities of a like aggregate principal amount at the Registrar’s request. Any exchange or transfer shall be without charge, except that the Company or the Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto; provided that this sentence shall not apply to any exchange pursuant to Section 2.10, 2.13(a), 3.06, 5.02(c) or 12.05.

(b) None of the Company, any Registrar or the Trustee shall be required to exchange or register a transfer of any Securities or portions thereof in respect of which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been delivered and not withdrawn by the Holder thereof (except, in the case of the purchase of a Security in part, the portion thereof not to be purchased).

(c) All Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange of Securities shall be valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

Section 2.07 Replacement Securities .

(a) If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Company, a Registrar or the Trustee, or the Company, a Registrar and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, and there is delivered to the Company, the applicable Registrar and the Trustee such security or indemnity as will be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company, such Registrar or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute, and upon its written request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for any such mutilated Security or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

(b) If any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, or is about to be purchased by the Company pursuant to Article 3, or converted pursuant to Article 5, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay, purchase or convert such Security, as the case may be.

(c) Upon the issuance of any new Securities under this Section 2.07, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto as a result of any Securities, at the request of any Holder, being issued to a Person other than such Holder and any other reasonable expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the Trustee or the Registrar) in connection therewith.

(d) Every new Security issued pursuant to this Section 2.07 in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities duly issued hereunder.

(e) The provisions of this Section 2.07 are (to the extent lawful) exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.

Section 2.08 Outstanding Securities .

(b) If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Company receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser.

(c) If a Paying Agent (other than the Company or a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company) holds in respect of the outstanding Securities on a Fundamental Change Purchase Date or the Final Maturity Date money sufficient to pay the principal of and accrued interest, if any, on Securities (or portions thereof) payable on that date, then on and after such Fundamental Change Purchase Date or Final Maturity Date, as the case may be, such Securities (or portions thereof, as the case may be) shall cease to be outstanding and cash interest, if any, on them shall cease to accrue.

(d) Subject to the restrictions contained in Section 2.09, a Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Security.

Section 2.09 [Reserved] .

Section 2.10 Temporary Securities .

Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver definitive Securities in exchange for temporary Securities.

Section 2.11 Additional Securities

The Company may, without the consent of the Holders of the Securities, issue additional Securities (the “ Additional Securities ”) under this Indenture in the future on the same terms and conditions, except for any differences in the issue price and interest accrued prior to the Issue Date of the Additional Securities; provided that either (1) such Additional Securities, for purposes of U.S. federal income taxation, are not issued with original issue discount (or are issued with a de minimis amount of original issue discount as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulation 1.1273-1(d)), or (2) such differences do not cause the Additional Securities to constitute a different class of securities than the Securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Securities and any Additional Securities shall rank equally and ratably and shall be treated as a single series for all purposes under this Indenture. No Additional Securities may be issued if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Securities.

Section 2.12 Cancellation .

The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent shall forward to the Trustee or its agent any Securities surrendered to them for transfer, exchange, purchase, payment or conversion.

Section 2.13 Legend; Additional Transfer and Exchange Requirements .

(a) If Securities are issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Securities subject to restrictions on transfer and bearing the legends set forth on the form of Securities attached as Exhibit A (collectively, the “ Legend ”), or if a request is made to remove the Legend on a Security, the Securities so issued shall bear the Legend, or the Legend shall not be removed, as the case may be, unless there is delivered to the Company and the Registrar such satisfactory evidence, which shall include an Opinion of Counsel if requested by the Company or such Registrar, as may be reasonably required by the Company and the Registrar, that neither the Legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers thereof comply with the provisions of Rule 144A or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or that such Securities are not “restricted” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act; provided that no such evidence need be supplied in connection with the sale of such Security pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective and was effective at the time of such sale. Upon (1) provision of such satisfactory evidence if requested or (2) notification by the Company to the Trustee and Registrar of the sale of such Security pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective and was effective at the time of such sale, the Trustee, at the written direction of the Company, shall authenticate and deliver a Security that does not bear the Legend. If the Legend is removed from the face of a Security and the Security is subsequently held by an Affiliate of the Company, the Legend shall be reinstated.

(b) A Global Security may not be transferred, in whole or in part, to any Person other than the Depositary or a nominee or any successor thereof, and no such transfer to any such other Person may be registered; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit any transfer of a Security that is issued in exchange for a Global Security but is not itself a Global Security. No transfer of a Security to any Person shall be effective under this Indenture or the Securities unless and until such Security has been registered in the name of such Person. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture or the Securities, transfers of a Global Security, in whole or in part, shall be made only in accordance with this Section 2.13.

(c) Subject to Section 2.13(b) and in compliance with Section 2.13(d), every Security shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer provided in the Legend. Whenever any Restricted Security other than a Restricted Global Security is presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or in exchange for a Security registered in a name other than that of the Holder, such Security must be accompanied by a certificate in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A under the heading “Certificate to be Delivered Upon Exchange or Registration of Transfer of Restricted Securities,” dated the date of such surrender and signed by the Holder of such Security, as to compliance with such restrictions on transfer. The Registrar shall not be required to accept for such registration of transfer or exchange any Security not so accompanied by a properly completed certificate.

(d) The restrictions imposed by the Legend upon the transferability of any Security shall cease and terminate when such Security has been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or transferred in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor provision thereto) or, if earlier, upon the expiration of the holding period applicable to sales thereof under Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor provision). Any Security as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms or shall have terminated may, upon a surrender of such Security for exchange to the Registrar in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.13 (accompanied, in the event that such restrictions on transfer have terminated by reason of a transfer in compliance with Rule 144 or any successor provision, by, if requested by the Company or the Registrar, an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Registrar and addressed to the Company and the Registrar, to the effect that the transfer of such Security has been made in compliance with Rule 144 or such successor provision), be exchanged for a new Security, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, which shall not bear the restrictive Legend. The Company shall inform the Trustee of the effective date of any registration statement registering the offer and sale of the Securities under the Securities Act. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the aforementioned Opinion of Counsel or registration statement.

As used in Sections 2.13(c) and (d), the term “transfer” encompasses any sale, pledge, transfer, hypothecation or other disposition of any Security.

(e) The provisions below shall apply only to Global Securities:

(1) Each Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Security shall constitute a single Security for purposes of this Indenture.

(2) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture or the Securities, a Global Security shall not be exchanged in whole or in part for a Security registered, and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part shall be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary or one or more nominees thereof; provided that a Global Security may be exchanged for securities registered in the names of any Person designated by the Depositary in the event that (A) the Depositary has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or such Depositary has ceased to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act, and a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after receiving such notice or becoming aware that the Depositary has ceased to be a “clearing agency,” or (B) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Securities. Any Global Security exchanged pursuant to subclause (A) above shall be so exchanged in whole and not in part, and any Global Security exchanged pursuant to subclause (B) above may be exchanged in whole or from time to time in part as directed by the Depositary. Any Security issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be a Global Security; provided further that any such Security so issued that is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary or a nominee thereof shall not be a Global Security.

(3) Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be issued in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons, shall have an aggregate principal amount equal to that of such Global Security or portion thereof to be so exchanged, shall be registered in such names and be in such authorized denominations as the Depositary shall designate and shall bear the applicable legends provided for herein. Any Global Security to be exchanged in whole shall be surrendered by the Depositary to the Trustee, as Registrar. With regard to any Global Security to be exchanged in part, either such Global Security shall be so surrendered for exchange or, if the Trustee is acting as custodian for the Depositary or its nominee with respect to such Global Security, the principal amount thereof shall be reduced, by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Trustee. Upon any such surrender or adjustment, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Security issuable on such exchange to or upon the order of the Depositary or an authorized representative thereof.

(4) Subject to clause (6) of this Section 2.13(e), the registered Holder may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Securities.

(5) In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in clause (2) of this Section 2.13(e), the Company will promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of Certificated Securities in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons.

(6) Neither Agent Members nor any other Persons on whose behalf Agent Members may act shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Security registered in the name of the Depositary or any nominee thereof, or under any such Global Security, and the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner and holder of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, or impair, as between the Depositary, its Agent Members and any other Person on whose behalf an Agent Member may act, the operation of customary practices of such Persons governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of any Security.

(7) At such time as all interests in a Global Security have been converted, canceled or exchanged for Securities in certificated form, such Global Security shall, upon receipt thereof, be cancelled by the Trustee in accordance with standing procedures and instructions existing between the Depositary and the Securities Custodian, subject to Section 2.12 of this Indenture. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any interest in a Global Security is converted, canceled or exchanged for Securities in certificated form, the principal amount of such Global Security shall, in accordance with the standing procedures and instructions existing between the Depositary and the Securities Custodian, be appropriately reduced, and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Security, by the Trustee or the Securities Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, to reflect such reduction.

(f) Until the expiration of the holding period applicable to sales thereof under Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor provision thereto), any stock certificate representing Common Stock issued upon conversion of any Security shall bear a legend in substantially the following form, unless such Common Stock has been sold pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act (and which continues to be effective at the time of such transfer) or transferred in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor provision thereto), or such Common Stock has been issued upon conversion of Securities that have been transferred pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor provision thereto), or unless otherwise agreed by the Company in writing with written notice thereof to the transfer agent:

THE COMMON STOCK EVIDENCED HEREBY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE REOFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR UNLESS SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT SUBJECT TO, REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.

BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF, THE HOLDER AGREES TO OFFER, SELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THE COMMON STOCK EVIDENCED HEREBY PRIOR TO THE DATE THAT IS ONE YEAR AFTER THE LATER OF THE ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE HEREOF AND THE LAST DATE ON WHICH ICONIX BRAND GROUP, INC. (THE “COMPANY”) OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE COMPANY WAS THE OWNER OF THE COMMON STOCK EVIDENCED HEREBY (OR ANY PREDECESSOR OF THE COMMON STOCK EVIDENCED HEREBY) (THE “RESALE RESTRICTION TERMINATION DATE”) ONLY (A) TO THE COMPANY OR ANY SUBSIDIARY THEREOF, (B) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WHICH HAS BEEN DECLARED EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR (C) PURSUANT TO ANY OTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT, SUBJECT TO THE COMPANY’S AND THE TRANSFER AGENT’S RIGHT PRIOR TO ANY SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER PURSUANT TO CLAUSE (C) PRIOR TO THE RESALE RESTRICTION TERMINATION DATE TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, CERTIFICATIONS AND/OR OTHER INFORMATION SATISFACTORY TO EACH OF THEM, AND IN EACH OF THE FOREGOING CASES, TO REQUIRE THAT A CERTIFICATE OF TRANSFER IN THE FORM APPEARING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS CERTIFICATE IS COMPLETED AND DELIVERED BY THE TRANSFEROR TO THE TRANSFER AGENT. THIS LEGEND WILL BE REMOVED UPON THE REQUEST OF THE HOLDER AFTER THE RESALE RESTRICTION TERMINATION DATE.

Any such Common Stock as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms or as to which the conditions for removal of the foregoing legend set forth therein have been satisfied may, upon surrender of the certificates representing such shares of Common Stock for exchange in accordance with the procedures of the transfer agent for the Common Stock, be exchanged for a new certificate or certificates for a like number of shares of Common Stock, which shall not bear the restrictive legend required by this section.

Section 2.14 CUSIP Numbers .

The Company in issuing the Securities may use one or more “CUSIP”, “ISIN” or other similar numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP”, “ISIN” or other similar numbers in notices of purchase as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a purchase and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such purchase shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP”, “ISIN” or other similar numbers.

Section 2.15 Purchase of Securities in Open Market .

The Company may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, repurchase Securities in the open market, by tender at any price or by negotiated transactions. Any Security repurchased by the Company may, at the Company’s option, be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, but may not be reissued or resold by the Company. Any Security surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation may not be reissued or resold and shall be promptly cancelled.

(3) The Company shall only be obliged to purchase, pursuant to this Section 3.01, a portion of a Security if the principal amount of such portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof (provisions of this Indenture that apply to the purchase of all of a Security also apply to the purchase of such portion of such Security).

(4) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to a Paying Agent the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice contemplated by this Section 3.01(c) shall have the right to withdraw such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice in whole or in a portion thereof that is a principal amount of $1,000 or in an integral multiple thereof at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 3.02(b).

(6) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the case of Global Securities, any Fundamental Change Purchase Notice may be delivered or withdrawn and such Securities may be surrendered or delivered for purchase in accordance with the Applicable Procedures as in effect from time to time.

Section 3.02 Effect of Fundamental Change Purchase Notice .

(a) Upon receipt by any Paying Agent of a properly completed Fundamental Change Purchase Notice from a Holder, the Holder of the Security in respect of which such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice was given shall (unless such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice is withdrawn as specified in Section 3.02(b)) thereafter be entitled to receive the Fundamental Change Purchase Price with respect to such Security, provided that an Event of Default shall not have occurred and be continuing (other than a Default in the payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price). Such Fundamental Change Purchase Price shall be paid to such Holder promptly following the later of:

(1) the Fundamental Change Purchase Date (provided that the conditions in Section 3.01 have been satisfied);

(2) the time of delivery of such Security to a Paying Agent by the Holder thereof in the manner required by Section 3.01(c).

Securities in respect of which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been given by the Holder thereof may not be converted pursuant to Article 5 on or after the date of the delivery of such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice unless such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has first been validly withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.02(b) with respect to the Securities to be converted.

(b) A Fundamental Change Purchase Notice may be withdrawn by means of a written notice (which may be delivered by mail, overnight courier, hand delivery, facsimile transmission or in any other written form and, in the case of Global Securities, may be delivered electronically or by other means in accordance with the Applicable Procedures) of withdrawal delivered by the Holder to a Paying Agent at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, specifying:

(1) if certificated Securities have been issued, the certificate number of the Security being withdrawn in whole or in part (or if the Securities are not certificated, such written notice must comply with the Applicable Procedures),

(2) the principal amount of the Security or portion thereof (which must be a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted, and

(3) the portion of the principal amount of the Security that will remain subject to the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice, which portion must be a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof.

Section 3.03 Deposit of Fundamental Change Purchase Price .

(a) On or before 12:00 p.m. (noon) , New York City time, on the applicable Fundamental Change Purchase Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or if the Company or a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company is acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.04) an amount of money (in immediately available funds), sufficient to pay the aggregate Fundamental Change Purchase Price of all the Securities or portions thereof that are to be purchased as of such Fundamental Change Purchase Date.

(b) If a Paying Agent or the Trustee holds, in accordance with the terms hereof, on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date money sufficient to pay the Fundamental Change Purchase Price of any Security for which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been tendered and not withdrawn in accordance with this Indenture then, on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, such Security will cease to be outstanding, whether or not the Security is delivered to the Paying Agent or the Trustee, and interest, if any, shall cease to accrue, and the rights of the Holder in respect of the Security shall terminate (other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Purchase Price as aforesaid). The Company shall publicly announce the principal amount of Securities repurchased on or as soon as practicable after the Fundamental Change Purchase Date.

(c) The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Securities with respect to which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been withdrawn in compliance with this Indenture.

(d) If a Fundamental Change Purchase Date falls after a Regular Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, then interest on the Securities payable on such Interest Payment Date will be payable to the Holders in whose names the Securities are registered at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Regular Record Date.

To the extent that the aggregate amount of cash deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 3.03 exceeds the aggregate Fundamental Change Purchase Price of the Securities or portions thereof that the Company is obligated to purchase, then promptly after the Fundamental Change Purchase Date the Trustee or a Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall return any such excess cash to the Company.

Any Security that is to be purchased only in part shall be surrendered at the office of a Paying Agent, and promptly after the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security, without service charge, a new Security or Securities, of such authorized denomination or denominations as may be requested by such Holder (which must be equal to $1,000 principal amount or any integral thereof), in aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the portion of the principal amount of the Security so surrendered that is not purchased.

In connection with any offer to purchase of Securities under Section 3.01, the Company shall:

(a) comply with Rule 13e-4 and Rule 14e-1 (or any successor to either such Rule), and any other tender offer rules, if applicable, under the Exchange Act;

(b) file the related Schedule TO (or any successor or similar schedule, form or report) if required under the Exchange Act; and

(c) otherwise comply with all federal and state securities laws in connection with such offer to purchase or purchase of Securities,

all so as to permit the rights of the Holders and obligations of the Company under Sections 3.01 through 3.04 to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified therein. To the extent that compliance with any such laws, rules and regulations would result in a conflict with any of the terms hereof, this Indenture is hereby modified to the extent required for the Company to comply with such laws, rules and regulations.

CONVERSION

Section 5.01 Conversion Privilege and Conversion Rate .

(a) Subject to the obligation and the right of the Company to pay some or all of the conversion consideration in cash in accordance with Section 5.13, and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article 5, at the option of the Holder thereof, all or a portion of any Security that is an integral multiple of $1,000 principal amount, unless previously purchased by the Company at the Conversion Rate in effect at such time, may be converted into Common Stock prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Final Maturity Date only under the following circumstances:

(1) during any fiscal quarter, and only during such fiscal quarter, beginning after June 30, 2011, if the Closing Price per share of Common Stock for at least 20 Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) in the period of the 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the last Trading Day of such immediately preceding fiscal quarter was more than 130% of the Conversion Price (the “ Conversion Trigger Price ”) on each applicable Trading Day;

(2) during any five consecutive Business Day period after any five consecutive Trading Day period in which the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Securities, as determined following a request by a Holder in accordance with the procedures described below in Section 5.01(e), for each Trading Day of that five Trading Day period was less than 98% of the product of the Closing Price of the Common Stock and the Conversion Rate on each such Trading Day;

(3) if the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock rights, options or warrants entitling them to purchase, for a period expiring within 45 days of the date of issuance, Common Stock at less than the average of the Closing Prices of the Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the declaration date of such distribution;

(4) if the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, assets, debt securities or rights to purchase the Company’s securities, which distribution has a per share value exceeding 10% of the average of the Closing Prices of the Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the first public announcement of such distribution; or

(5) if a Fundamental Change or a Make Whole Fundamental Change occurs or if the Company is a party to a Specified Event, from and after 15 days prior to the anticipated effective date of such transaction or event and until (i) in the case of a Fundamental Change, 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, and (ii) otherwise, the earlier of 15 days after the actual date of such transaction and the date of the public announcement by the Company that the transaction will not take place; and

(6) at any time during the period beginning on March 1, 2016 and ending at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Final Maturity Date, at any time.

(b) In the case of a distribution contemplated by clauses (3) and (4) of Section 5.01(a), the Company shall notify Holders and Trustee at least 55 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution (the “ Distribution Notice ”); provided that if the Company distributes rights pursuant to a stockholder rights agreement, it will notify the Holders of the Securities on the Business Day after the Company is required to give notice generally to its stockholders pursuant to such stockholder rights agreement if such date is less than 55 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the date of such distribution. Once the Company has given the Distribution Notice, Holders may surrender their Securities for conversion at any time until the earlier of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date or the Company’s announcement that such distribution will not take place. Notwithstanding the provisions of clauses (3) and (4) of Section 5.01(a), a Holder may not convert the Securities if as a result of holding the Securities, such Holder will be entitled to participate in such distribution, without having to convert its Securities, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of the Common Stock as if such Holder held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the applicable Conversion Rate for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities held by such Holder (calculated on an aggregate basis per Holder). The Company will provide written notice to the Conversion Agent as soon as reasonably practicable of any anticipated or actual event or transaction that will cause or causes the Securities to become convertible pursuant to clauses (3) or (4) of Section 5.01(a).

(c) In the case of a transaction contemplated by clause (5) of Section 5.01(a), the Company will notify the Holders and Trustee as promptly as practicable following the date the Company publicly announces the Fundamental Change, Make Whole Fundamental Change or Specified Event (but in no event less than 15 days prior to the effective date of such transaction). If such transaction or event also constitutes a Fundamental Change, and if 15 days prior to the Fundamental Change Effective Date the Company does not have knowledge of such Fundamental Change or its anticipated Fundamental Change Effective Date, the Company shall notify the Holders and the Trustee of such Fundamental Change within three Business Days after the date upon which the Company receives notice or otherwise becomes aware of such Fundamental Change and its anticipated Fundamental Change Effective Date, but in no event later than the actual Fundamental Change Effective Date of such Fundamental Change.

(d) For each fiscal quarter of the Company, beginning with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2011, the Company will determine, on the first Business Day following the last Trading Day of such immediately preceding fiscal quarter, whether the Securities are convertible pursuant to clause (1) of Section 5.01(a), and, if so, will notify the Trustee in writing. Upon request of the Conversion Agent, the Company shall provide, or cause to be provided to, the Conversion Agent the Closing Price per share of Common Stock for the 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on the last Trading Day of the preceding fiscal quarter.

(e) The Bid Solicitation Agent shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price of the Securities unless a Holder of Securities has requested such determination; any such requesting Holder of Securities shall provide the Bid Solicitation Agent with reasonable evidence that the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Securities would be less than 98% of the product of the Closing Price of the Common Stock and the applicable Conversion Rate on such Trading Day. At such time, the Bid Solicitation Agent shall determine the Trading Price of the Securities beginning on the immediately succeeding Trading Day and on each successive Trading Day until the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Securities is greater than or equal to 98% of the product of the Closing Price of the Common Stock and the applicable Conversion Rate on such Trading Day.

(f) If the Securities become convertible at the option of the Holder because any of the conditions in Section 5.01(a)(1)-(5) have been satisfied, the Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing and issue a press release and make such press release available on the Company website.

(g) The conversion rights pursuant to this Article 5 shall commence on the initial issuance date of the Securities and expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Final Maturity Date, but shall be exercisable only during the time periods specified with respect to each circumstance pursuant to which the Securities become convertible, subject, in the case of conversion of any Global Security, to any Applicable Procedures. If a Security is convertible as a result of a Fundamental Change, such conversion right shall commence and terminate as set forth in Sections 5.01(a)(5) and 5.01(c). Securities in respect of which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been delivered may not be surrendered for conversion pursuant to this Article 5 prior to a valid withdrawal of such Fundamental Change Notice in accordance with the provisions of Article 3.

(h) Provisions of this Indenture that apply to conversion of all of a Security also apply to conversion of a portion of a Security.

(i) [Reserved]

(j) The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted in certain instances as provided in Section 5.01(l) and Section 5.06.

(k) If a Fundamental Change occurs as a result of a Termination of Trading or as a result of the occurrence of one of the events specified in clause (i), (iii) or (v) (without regard to the proviso in clause (v)) of the definition of the term Change of Control (a “ Make Whole Fundamental Change ”), the Company shall, in each case, increase the Conversion Rate for any Securities surrendered for conversion in connection with such Make Whole Fundamental Change by a number of additional shares of Common Stock (the “ Additional Shares ”) as set forth in this Section 5.01(l). A conversion of Securities will be deemed for the purposes of this Section 5.01(l) to be “in connection with” a Make Whole Fundamental Change if the Conversion Notice set forth in the form of Security attached as Exhibit A is received by the Conversion Agent on or subsequent to the Make Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date but before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Fundamental Change Purchase Date (or in the event the Make Whole Fundamental Change is not a Fundamental Change, the 15 th day after the Make Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date). Any increase in the applicable Conversion Rate shall be determined by reference to the table below and shall be based on the date on which the Make Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date occurs and the price paid, or deemed to be paid, per share of Common Stock in the transaction constituting the Make Whole Fundamental Change (the “ Stock Price ”). If holders of Common Stock receive only cash in the Make Whole Fundamental Change, the Stock Price shall be the cash amount paid per share of Common Stock. In all other cases, the Stock Price shall be the average of the Closing Prices of the Common Stock over the ten Trading Day period, ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Make Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date.

The following table sets forth the number of Additional Shares, if any, per $1,000 principal amount of Securities by which the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the Stock Price and the Make Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date.

The exact Stock Price and Make Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date may not be set forth in the table, in which case, if the exact Stock Price is:

(1) between two Stock Price amounts in the table or the exact Make Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date is between two Make Whole Fundamental Change Effective Dates in the table, the number of Additional Shares shall be determined by straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set forth for the higher and lower Stock Price amounts and the earlier and later Make Whole Fundamental Change Effective Dates, as applicable, based on a 360-day year;

(2) greater than $120.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner and at the same time as the Stock Price in the table above), the Company shall not increase the Conversion Rate; and

(3) less than $23.21 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner and at the same time as the Stock Prices in the table above), the Company shall not increase the Conversion Rate.

The Stock Prices set forth in the table above will be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate is adjusted in accordance with Section 5.06. The adjusted Stock Prices shall equal the Stock Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Conversion Rate immediately prior to the adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Conversion Rate as so adjusted. The number of Additional Shares set forth in the table above shall be adjusted in the same manner as the Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 5.06, other than by operation of an increase in the Conversion Rate upon conversion of Securities in connection with a Make Whole Fundamental Change as described in this 5.01(l).

In no event shall the Conversion Rate exceed 43.0848 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Securities, subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 5.06. Furthermore, in no event shall the number of shares of Common Stock, if any, issued upon conversion of the Securities exceed the Share Cap.

Section 5.02 Conversion Procedures .

(a) To convert a certificated Security, the Holder must (1) complete and manually sign the Conversion Notice (which shall be irrevocable) on the reverse of the Security and deliver such notice to the Conversion Agent, (2) surrender the Security to the Conversion Agent, (3) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Conversion Agent, (4) pay all transfer or similar taxes, if required pursuant to Section 5.04, and (5) pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled, if required. To convert a Global Security, a Holder must (1) comply with the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary, (2) to pay all transfer and similar taxes, if required pursuant to Section 5.04, and (3) pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled, if required. The date on which the Holder satisfies all of those requirements is the “ Conversion Date .” Upon the conversion of a Security, the Company shall settle its conversion obligation in the manner set forth in Section 5.13.

The Securities will be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Conversion Date. The Person in whose name any shares of Common Stock issued upon such conversion shall become the holder of record of such shares as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the last Trading Day of the relevant Conversion Reference Period.

(b) Except as set forth in this Indenture, no payment or adjustment shall be made for dividends or distributions declared or made on shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of a Security prior to the issuance of such shares.

(c) Subject to Section 5.13(d), nothing in this Section shall affect the right of a Holder in whose name any Security is registered at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Regular Record Date to receive the interest payable on such Security on the related Interest Payment Date in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Securities. If a Holder converts more than one Security at the same time, the amount of cash to be paid and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion, if any (and the amount of any cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 5.03), shall be based on the aggregate principal amount of all Securities so converted.

Upon surrender by a Holder of its Securities for conversion, the Conversion Agent may first offer the Securities to a financial institution chosen by the Company (the “ Designated Financial Institution ”) for exchange in lieu of conversion. The Designated Financial Institution shall have the option, but not the obligation (unless separately agreed to by such Designated Financial Institution and the Company at such time), to agree to exchange the Securities for the consideration that the holder of those Securities would have been entitled to receive upon conversion. The Company may, but will not be obligated to, enter into a separate agreement with the Designated Financial Institution which would compensate it for any such transaction. If the Designated Financial Institution exchanges those Securities, it will deliver through the Conversion Agent such consideration that that the Holder of the Securities would have been entitled to receive upon conversion of the Securities on the third Business Day immediately following the last Trading Day of the relevant Conversion Reference Period. Delivery to the Holder of such full consideration shall be deemed to satisfy the Company’s obligation to pay the principal amount of the Security at maturity whether made by the Company or by the Designated Financial Institution. If the Designated Financial Institution agrees to accept any Securities but does not timely deliver the related consideration determined in accordance with this Indenture, or if such Designated Financial Institution does not accept the Securities as agreed, the Company shall deliver such consideration on the third Business Day immediately following the last Trading Day of the relevant Conversion Reference Period.

(d) In the case of any Security which is converted in part only, upon such conversion the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder thereof, without service charge, a new Security or Securities of authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the unconverted portion of the principal amount of such Security. A Security may be converted in part, but only if the principal amount of such part is an integral multiple of $1,000 and the principal amount of such Security to remain outstanding after such conversion is equal to $1,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Section 5.03 Fractional Shares .

The Company will not issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Securities. In lieu of any fractional shares, the Company will pay an amount in cash determined by multiplying the VWAP of the Common Stock on the last VWAP Trading Day of the relevant Conversion Reference Period by such fractional share and rounding the product to the nearest whole cent.

Section 5.04 Taxes on Conversion.

If a Holder converts a Security, the Company shall pay any transfer, stamp or similar taxes or duties related to the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock, if any, upon such conversion. The Company shall also pay any such tax with respect to cash received in lieu of fractional shares. The Holder shall pay any such tax which is due because the Holder requests the shares to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name. The Conversion Agent may refuse to deliver the certificate representing the Common Stock being issued in a name other than the Holder’s name until the Conversion Agent receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax which will be due because the shares are to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name. Nothing herein shall preclude any tax withholding required by law or regulation.

Section 5.05 Company to Provide Stock .

(a) The Company shall, on or prior to the date of this Indenture, and from time to time as may be necessary, reserve, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to permit the conversion of all outstanding Securities into shares of Common Stock.

(b) All shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of the Securities shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and shall be free from preemptive or similar rights of any securityholder of the Company and free of any lien or adverse claim as the result of any action by the Company.

(c) The Company will endeavor promptly to comply with all federal and state securities laws regulating the offer and delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Securities and shall list such shares on each national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the shares of Common Stock are listed on the applicable Conversion Date.

Section 5.06 Adjustment of Conversion Rate .

(a) The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted as described below, except that the Company shall not make any adjustments to the Conversion Rate if Holders participate, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of Common Stock and as a result of holding the Securities, in any of the transactions described in Section 5.06(a)(1) (but only with respect to stock dividends or distributions), Section 5.06(a)(2), Section 5.06(a)(3), and Section 5.06(a)(4), and Section 5.06(a)(5) without having to convert their Securities as if they held, per $1,000 principal amount of Securities, the full number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect for such Securities immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such event. If any dividend, distribution or issuance described below is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted, effective as of the date the Company’s Board of Directors publicly announces its decision not to make such dividend, distribution or issuance, to the Conversion Rate that would have been in effect if such dividend, distribution or issuance had not been declared.

(1) If the Company issues to all or substantially all of the holders of Common Stock shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on shares of Common Stock, or if the Company effects a share split or share combination, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

CR 1 = CR 0	X	OS 1
		OS 0

where,

CR 0 =

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Ex-Dividend Date of such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the effective date of such share split or share combination, as applicable;

CR 1 =

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date;

OS 0 =

the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date; and

OS 1 =

the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination.

Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5.06(a)(1) shall become effective immediately after 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date.

(2) If the Company issues to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock any rights, options or warrants entitling them for a period of not more than 60 days after the announcement date of such issuance to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, at a price per share less than the average of the Closing Prices of Common Stock for the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

CR 1 = CR 0	X	(OS 0 + X)
		(OS 0 + Y)

where,

CR 0 =

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance;

CR 1 =

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Ex-Dividend Date;

OS 0 =

the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Ex-Dividend Date;

X =

the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights or warrants; and

Y =

the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants divided by the average of the Closing Prices of Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding such Ex-Dividend Date.

Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5.06(a)(2) shall become effective immediately after 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Ex-Dividend Date of such issuance. To the extent that such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to their expiration or shares of Common Stock are otherwise not delivered pursuant to such rights, options or warrants upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment made upon the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered.

In determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders of Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such average of the Closing Prices for the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding such Ex-Dividend Date, and in determining the aggregate price payable for such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof and the value of such consideration (if other than cash, to be determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors).

(3) If the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness, other assets or property of the Company or rights or warrants to acquire its Capital Stock or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock, excluding:

(i) dividends or distributions described in Section 5.06(a)(1) above;

(ii) rights, options or warrants described in Section 5.06(a)(2) above;

(iii) Spin-Offs to which the provisions set forth below in this Section 5.06(a)(3) shall apply;

(iv) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash described in Section 5.06(a)(4) below; and

(v) any dividends or distributions in connection with a Merger Event;

then the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

CR 1 = CR 0	X	SP 0
		(SP 0 – FMV)

where,

CR 0

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

CR 1

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Ex-Dividend Date;

SP 0

FMV

the fair market value (as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors) on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution of the shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, property, rights or warrants distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock.

If the FMV (as defined above) of any distribution for purposes of this Section 5.06(a)(3) is determined by reference to the actual or when-issued trading market for any securities, the Company’s Board of Directors shall in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Closing Prices of Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP 0 ” (as defined above), or if the difference between “SP 0 ” and “FMV” is less than $1.00, in lieu of the foregoing increase, the Company shall deliver to each Holder (without such Holder having to convert its Securities), in respect of each $1,000 principal amount thereof, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of Common Stock receive the distributed property, the amount and kind of distributed property that such Holder would have received if such Holder had owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the record date for the distribution.

Any adjustment made pursuant to the preceding paragraph of this Section 5.06(a)(3) shall become effective immediately after 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.

With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 5.06(a)(3) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on Common Stock of shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a subsidiary or other business and such Capital Stock or similar equity interest is listed on a national or regional securities exchange (a “ Spin-Off ”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

CR 1 = CR 0	X	(FMV 0 + MP 0 )
		MP 0

where,

CR 0

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off;

CR 1

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off;

FMV 0 =

the average of the Closing Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined for purposes of the definition of Closing Price as if such Capital Stock or similar equity interest were the Common Stock) over the first ten consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, effective date of the Spin-Off (the “ Valuation Period ”); and

MP 0

the average of the Closing Prices of Common Stock over the Valuation Period.

Any adjustment to the Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph of this Section 5.06(a)(3) will be made immediately after 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day after the last day of the Valuation Period, but will be given effect as of 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off. Because the Company will make the adjustment to the Conversion Rate at the end of the Valuation Period with retroactive effect, the Company will delay the settlement of any Securities where the last VWAP Trading Day of the related Conversion Period occurs during the Valuation Period. In such event, the Company will pay the cash and deliver any shares of Common Stock (subject to the Company’s right to deliver cash in lieu of such shares of Common Stock) due upon conversion (based on the adjusted Conversion Rate as described above) on the third Business Day immediately following the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period.

(4) If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

CR 1 = CR 0	X	SP 0
		(SP 0 – C)

where,

CR 0

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;

CR 1

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;

SP 0

the average of the Closing Prices of Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution (or, if the Company declares such dividend or distribution less than 11 Trading Days prior to such Ex-Dividend Date, ten shall be replaced with a smaller number of Trading Days that will have occurred after, and not including, such declaration date and prior to, but not including, such Ex-Dividend Date);

the amount in cash per share the Company distributes to holders of Common Stock.

Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5.06(a)(4) shall become effective immediately after 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “C” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than SP 0 (as defined above), or if the difference between “SP 0 ” and “C” is less than $1.00, in lieu of the foregoing increase, the Company shall deliver to each Holder (without such Holder having to convert its Securities), for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of shares of Common Stock, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder had owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate on the record date for such cash distribution.

(5) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for Common Stock, to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the Closing Price of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately succeeding the last date (the “ Expiration Date ”) on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

CR 1 = CR 0	X	AC + (SP 1 X OS 1 )
		(OS 0 X SP 1 )

where,

CR 0

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately following the Expiration Date;

CR 1

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately following the Expiration Date;

the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors) paid or payable for shares of Common Stock purchased in such tender or exchange offer;

OS 0

the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the time such tender or exchange offer expires (the “ Expiration Time ”);

OS 1

the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Expiration Time (after giving effect to the purchase of all shares accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); and

SP 1

the average of Closing Prices of Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day immediately succeeding the Expiration Date (the “ Averaging Period ”).

Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5.06(a)(5) shall become effective at 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately succeeding the Expiration Date. Because the Company will make the adjustment to the Conversion Rate at the end of the Averaging Period with retroactive effect, the Company will delay the settlement of any Securities where the last VWAP Trading Day of the related Conversion Reference Period occurs during the Averaging Period. In such event, the Company will pay the cash and deliver any shares of Common Stock (subject to the Company’s right to deliver cash in lieu of such shares of Common Stock) due upon conversion (based on the adjusted Conversion Rate as described above) on the third Business Day immediately following the last day of the Averaging Period.

(6) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the application of the foregoing formulas would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be made (other than as a result of a reverse share split or share combination).

(7) To the extent an adjustment or nonoccurrence of an adjustment to the Conversion Rate, as the case may be, results in a constructive distribution to beneficial owners of Securities under Section 305 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Company is required to pay any U.S. federal withholding tax as a result of such constructive distribution, the Company may recoup or set-off such payments against any payments (whether in cash or shares of Common Stock) made with respect to the Securities (or any Common Stock received upon conversion thereof) to such beneficial owners.

(8) If the Company has a rights plan in effect upon any Conversion Date, and if the rights provided for in such rights plan have not separated from the shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the applicable shareholder rights plan, upon conversion of Securities, the converting Holder will receive, in addition to shares of Common Stock, if any, the rights under the applicable shareholder rights agreement. If such rights have separated from the Common Stock, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted as provided in Section 5.06(a)(3), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.

(9) If the Company issues rights, options or warrants that are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, then (i) the Company will not adjust the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 5.06(a) until the earliest of these triggering events occurs; and (ii) the Company will readjust the Conversion Rate to the extent any of these rights, options or warrants are not exercised before they expire.

(10) Subject to applicable stock exchange rules and listing standards, the Company shall be permitted to increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a period of at least 20 days if the Board of Directors determines that such increase would be in the Company’s best interest. Subject to applicable stock exchange rules and listing standards, the Company may also increase the Conversion Rate to avoid or diminish income tax to holders of the Common Stock in connection with a dividend or distribution of Common Stock or similar event.

(b) In any case in which this Section 5.06 shall require that an adjustment be made following an Ex-Dividend Date or Expiration Date, as the case may be, established for the purposes specified in this Section 5.06, the Company may elect to defer (but only until five Business Days following the filing by the Company with the Trustee of the certificate described in Section 5.08) issuing to the Holder of any Security converted after such Ex-Dividend Date or Expiration Date the shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable upon such conversion over and above the shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other cash, property or securities, as applicable) issuable upon such conversion only on the basis of the Conversion Rate prior to adjustment; and, in lieu of any cash, property or securities the issuance of which is so deferred, the Company shall issue or cause its transfer agents to issue due bills or other appropriate evidence prepared by the Company of the right to receive such cash, property or securities. If any distribution in respect of which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required to be made as of the Ex-Dividend Date or Expiration Date therefore is not thereafter made or paid by the Company for any reason, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if such Ex-Dividend Date had not been fixed or such Ex-Dividend Date or Expiration Date had not occurred.

(d) If one or more event occurs requiring an adjustment be made to the Conversion Rate for a particular period, adjustments to the Conversion Rate shall be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors to reflect the combined impact of such Conversion Rate adjustment events, as set out in this Section 5.06, during such period.

(e) Except as provided in this Section 5.06, the Conversion Rate shall not be adjusted for the issuance of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or carrying the right to purchase Common Stock or any such security.

(f) In no event shall the Conversion Rate exceed 43.0848 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Securities, subject to adjustment in the manner set forth in clauses (1) through (5) of Section 5.06(a). Furthermore, in no event shall the number of shares of Common Stock, if any, issued per $1,000 principal amount of Securities upon any conversion exceed the Share Cap.

Section 5.07 No Adjustment .

(a) No adjustment in the Conversion Rate shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Conversion Rate as last adjusted; provided, however , that the Company shall carry forward any adjustments which would be required to be made but for this Section 5.07(a), take such carried forward adjustment into account in any subsequent adjustment, and make such carried forward adjustment, regardless of whether the aggregate adjustment is less than 1%, (x) annually on the anniversary of the date of original issuance of the Securities and (y) otherwise (1) upon conversion of any Securities or (2) prior to any Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, unless such adjustment has already been made. All calculations under this Article 5 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000th) of a share, as the case may be, with one half cent and 0.00005 of a share, respectively, being rounded upward.

(b) No adjustment in the Conversion Rate shall be required for (1) issuances of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan of the Company providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest and the investment of additional optional amounts of Common Stock under any plan, (2) ordinary course of business stock repurchases that are not tender offers referred to in Section 5.06(a)(5), including structured or derivative transactions, pursuant to a stock repurchase program approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, (3) issuances of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase Common Stock pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of, or assumed by, the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (4) issuances of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in clause (3) above and outstanding as of the date of original issuance of the Securities, (5) for a change in the par value of the Common Stock, or (6) for accrued and unpaid interest owed, if any.

(c) To the extent that the Securities become convertible into the right to receive cash in accordance with the provision of Section 5.10, no adjustment need be made thereafter as to the amount of cash to be received.

Section 5.08 Notice of Adjustment .

Whenever the Conversion Rate or conversion privilege is required to be adjusted pursuant to this Indenture, the Company shall promptly mail to Holders a notice of the adjustment and file with the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate briefly stating the facts requiring the adjustment and the manner of computing it. Failure to mail such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of any such adjustment. Unless and until the Trustee shall receive an Officers’ Certificate setting forth an adjustment of the Conversion Rate, the Trustee may assume without inquiry that the Conversion Rate has not been adjusted and that the last Conversion Rate of which it has knowledge remains in effect.

Section 5.09 Notice of Certain Transactions .

In the event that there is a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Company shall mail to Holders and file with the Trustee a notice stating the proposed effective date. The Company shall mail such notice at least 10 days before such proposed effective date. Failure to mail such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of any transaction referred to in this Section 5.09.

Section 5.10 Effect of Recapitalization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale .

If any of following events occur (each, a “ Merger Event ”):

(1) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of Common Stock, other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a split, subdivision or combination,

(2) a consolidation, merger or combination involving the Company,

(3) a sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition, in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company, other than to one or more of the Company’s Subsidiaries, or

(4) any statutory share exchange,

in each case, as a result of which the Common Stock would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof), then at the effective date of such transaction, the right to convert each outstanding $1,000 principal amount of Security based on the Common Stock will, without the consent of any holders, be changed into the right to convert each such Security based on the kind and amount of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that a Holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such transaction would have owned or be entitled to receive (the “ Reference Property ”). If the transaction causes the Common Stock to be converted into or exchanged for the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election), the Reference Property based on which the Securities will become convertible will be deemed to be the kind and amount of consideration actually received by holders of a majority of the Common Stock that voted for such an election. In all cases, the provisions of this Indenture relating to the satisfaction of the Company’s conversion obligations shall continue to apply with respect to the calculation of the Conversion Settlement Amount, with the Daily Conversion Value, Daily Settlement Amount and the VWAP determined based on a unit of Reference Property that a holder of one share of Common Stock would have received in such transaction; provided, however , that if the holders of the Common Stock receive only cash in such Merger Event, the Conversion Settlement Amount shall equal the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date multiplied by the price paid per share of Common Stock in such Merger Event and settlement will occur on the third Business Day following the Conversion Date. The Company may not become a party to any such transaction unless its terms are consistent with the preceding. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a Holder of Securities to convert its Securities into shares of Common Stock prior to the effective date of any such Merger Event.

Section 5.11 Trustee’s Disclaimer .

The Trustee shall have no duty to determine when an adjustment under this Article 5 should be made, how it should be made or what such adjustment should be, but may accept as conclusive evidence of that fact or the correctness of any such adjustment, and shall be protected in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate, including the Officers’ Certificate with respect thereto which the Company is obligated to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.08, and the Company agrees to deliver such Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee immediately after the occurrence of any such event. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or value (of kind or amount) of any securities or assets issued upon conversion of Securities. The Trustee makes no representation with respect thereto.

The Trustee shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Securities to either calculate the Conversion Price or determine whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the Conversion Price, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed herein, in making the same and shall be protected in relying upon an Officers’ Certificate with respect to the same. The Trustee shall not be responsible for any failure of the Company to make any cash payment or to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock or share certificates or other securities or property upon the surrender of any Security for the purpose of conversion; and the Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any failure of the Company to comply with any of the covenants of the Company contained in this Article. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Trustee shall not be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in Officers’ Certificate which the Company is obligated to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.08, may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officers’ Certificate.

Section 5.12 [Reserved] .

Section 5.13 Settlement of Conversion Obligation .

(a) Holders surrendering Securities for conversion shall receive for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities surrendered the Conversion Settlement Amount. Holders may receive such consideration from the Company or from a Designated Financial Institution in accordance with Section 5.02(c).

(b) Not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day following the Conversion Date, the Company may specify a percentage of the Daily Share Amount that will be settled in cash (the “ Cash Percentage ”) by written notice to the Trustee and Conversion Agent. If the Company elects to specify a Cash Percentage, the amount of cash that the Company will deliver in respect of the Daily Share Amount of each VWAP Trading Day in the relevant Conversion Reference Period will equal the product of:

(1) the Cash Percentage,

(2) the Daily Share Amount for such VWAP Trading Day; and

(3) the VWAP per share of Common Stock for such VWAP Trading Day,

(such product, the “ Daily Net Cash Portion ”).

The number of shares that the Company shall deliver in respect of each VWAP Trading Day in the relevant Conversion Reference Period will be a percentage of the Daily Share Amount equal to 100% minus the Cash Percentage. Upon making a determination that a percentage of the Daily Share Amount will be settled in cash, the Company shall promptly issue a press release and disclose such information on its website prior to the first Trading Day of the applicable Conversion Reference Period. If the Company does not specify a Cash Percentage prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, the Company shall be required to settle 100% of the Daily Share Amount for each VWAP Trading Day of the relevant Conversion Reference Period with shares of Common Stock; provided, however , that in no event shall the sum of the Daily Share Amounts over the 50 consecutive VWAP Trading Days of the relevant Conversion Reference Period exceed the Share Cap; provided, further , that the Company shall pay cash in lieu of fractional shares otherwise issuable upon conversion of Securities in accordance with Section 5.03.

(c) The Company shall determine the Daily Conversion Value, Daily Share Amount and the number of shares of Common Stock, if any, to be issued upon conversion at the end of the relevant Conversion Reference Period. Upon conversion of a Security, the Company shall pay the cash and, if applicable, deliver the shares of Common Stock on the third Business Day immediately following the last Trading Day of the relevant Conversion Reference Period.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.13(d), no payment or adjustment will be made for accrued interest on a converted Security. Accrued interest shall be deemed paid in full by the cash paid and, if applicable, shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion, together with any cash payment of such Holder’s fractional shares rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited.

(d) Holders of Securities surrendered for conversion (in whole or in part) during the period from 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Regular Record Date to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date will receive the semi-annual interest payable on such Securities on the corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion, and such Securities upon surrender must be accompanied by funds equal to the amount of such payment, unless:

(i) such Securities have been surrendered following the Regular Record Date immediately preceding to the Final Maturity Date;

(ii) the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Purchase Date which occurs after the Regular Record Date and on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date; or

(iii) to the extent of any overdue interest, if any overdue interest exists as of the time of conversion.

If the Securities are convertible because any of the conversion contingencies have been satisfied, the Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing and issue a press release and make such press release available on the Company’s website.

For the purposes of Sections 5.13(a) and (b), in the event that any of Daily Conversion Value, Daily Share Amounts or Volume Weighted Average Price cannot be determined for all portions of the Conversion Reference Period, the Company’s Board of Directors shall in good faith determine the values necessary to calculate the Daily Conversion Value, Daily Share Amounts and Volume Weighted Average Price, as applicable.

Section 5.14 Adjustment of Prices.

Whenever the Company is required by this Indenture to calculate the Closing Prices, the VWAPs , the Daily Conversion Values or the Conversion Settlement Amount over, or based on, a span of multiple days (including a Conversion Reference Period), the Company will make appropriate adjustments to each to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date of the event occurs, at any time during the period when Closing Prices, the VWAPs, the Daily Conversion Values of the Conversion Settlement Amount is to be calculated.

ARTICLE 6

SUBORDINATION

Section 6.01 Agreement of Subordination .

(a) The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of Securities issued hereunder by its acceptance thereof likewise covenants and agrees, that all Securities shall be issued subject to the provisions of this Article 6; and each Person holding any Security, whether upon original issue or upon transfer, assignment or exchange thereof, accepts and agrees to be bound by such provisions.

(b) The payment of the principal of, interest on, and any cash portion of the Company’s conversion obligation in accordance with Article 5 due upon conversion of, all Securities (including, but not limited to, the Fundamental Change Purchase Price with respect to the Securities subject to purchase in accordance with Article 3 and any other payment in connection with the conversion of the Securities) issued hereunder shall, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, be subordinated and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Secured Senior Indebtedness, whether outstanding at the date of this Indenture or thereafter incurred.

No provision of this Article 6 shall prevent the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder.

Section 6.02 Payments to Holders . The Company shall not make any payment with respect to the principal of, or interest on, and any cash portion of the Company’s conversion obligation in accordance with Article 5 due upon conversion of, the Securities (including, but not limited to, the Fundamental Change Purchase Price with respect to the Securities subject to purchase in accordance with Article 3 and any other payment in connection with the conversion of the Securities), except payments and distributions made by the Trustee and the Paying Agent as permitted by Section 6.05, and shall not purchase or otherwise acquire for value any Securities if:

(a) a default in the payment of principal, premium, interest, rent or other obligations due on any Secured Senior Indebtedness occurs and is continuing (or, in the case of Secured Senior Indebtedness for which there is a period of grace, in the event of such a default that continues beyond the period of grace, if any, specified in the instrument or lease evidencing such Secured Senior Indebtedness) (a “ Payment Default ”); or

(b) a default, other than a Payment Default, on Designated Secured Senior Indebtedness occurs and is continuing (a “ Nonpayment Default “) that then permits holders of such Designated Secured Senior Indebtedness to accelerate its maturity and the Trustee and the Agents receive a payment blockage notice (a “ Payment Blockage Notice ”) from the Company.

The Company may and shall resume payments on and distributions in respect of the Securities upon:

(1) in the case of a Payment Default, upon the date on which such Payment Default is cured or waived or otherwise ceases to exist; and

(2) in the case of a Nonpayment Default referred to in clause (b) above, the earlier of (i) 179 days after the date on which a Payment Blockage Notice is received by the Trustee and the Agents, and (ii) the date on which the Nonpayment Default is cured or waived or otherwise ceases to exist,

unless this Article 6 otherwise prohibits the payment or distribution at the time of such payment or distribution.

No Nonpayment Default that existed or was continuing on the date of delivery of any Payment Blockage Notice to the Trustee and the Agents (unless such default was waived, cured or otherwise ceased to exist and thereafter subsequently reoccurred) shall be, or be made, the basis for a subsequent Payment Blockage Notice.

Upon any payment by the Company, or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to creditors upon any dissolution or winding-up or liquidation or reorganization of the Company (whether voluntary or involuntary) or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar proceedings, all amounts due or to become due upon all Secured Senior Indebtedness shall first be paid in full in cash, or other payment satisfactory to the holders of Secured Senior Indebtedness (except payments made pursuant to Article 11 from monies deposited with the Paying Agent pursuant thereto prior to commencement of proceedings for such dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization); and upon any such dissolution or winding-up or liquidation or reorganization of the Company or bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, any payment by the Company, or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which the Holders of the Securities, the Trustee or any Agents would be entitled, except for the provision of this Article 6, shall (except as aforesaid) be paid by the Company or by any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, or by the Holders of the Securities or by the Trustee or any Agents under this Indenture if received by them or it, directly to the holders of Secured Senior Indebtedness (pro rata to such holders on the basis of the respective amounts of Secured Senior Indebtedness held by such holders, or as otherwise required by law or a court order) or their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any Secured Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, to the extent necessary to pay all Secured Senior Indebtedness in full in cash, or other payment satisfactory to the holders of Secured Senior Indebtedness, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Secured Senior Indebtedness, before any payment or distribution is made to the Holders of the Securities or to the Trustee or any Agent.

In the event of the acceleration of the Securities because of an Event of Default, no payment or distribution shall be made to the Trustee, any Agent or any Holder of Securities in respect of the principal of, or interest on, and any cash portion of the Company’s conversion obligation in accordance with Article 5 due upon conversion of, the Securities (including, but not limited to, the Fundamental Change Purchase Price with respect to the Securities subject to purchase in accordance with Article 3 and any other payment in connection with the conversion of the Securities), except payments and distributions made by the Trustee and the Paying Agent as permitted by Section 6.05, until all Designated Secured Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of Designated Secured Senior Indebtedness or such acceleration is rescinded in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. If payment of the Securities is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company shall promptly notify holders of Secured Senior Indebtedness of such acceleration.

In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities (including, without limitation, by way of setoff or otherwise), prohibited by the foregoing, shall be received by the Trustee, any Agent or the Holders of the Securities before all Secured Senior Indebtedness is paid in full, in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of Secured Senior Indebtedness, or provision is made for such payment thereof in accordance with its terms in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of Secured Senior Indebtedness, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of and shall be paid over or delivered to the holders of Secured Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any Secured Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, as calculated by the Company, for application to the payment of all Secured Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay all Secured Senior Indebtedness in full, in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of Secured Senior Indebtedness, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of such Secured Senior Indebtedness.

Nothing in this Section 6.02 shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee or any Agent under or pursuant to Section 10.07. This Section 6.02 shall be subject to the further provisions of Section 6.05.

For purposes of this Article 6, the words, “cash, property or securities” shall not be deemed to include shares or stock of the Company as reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment, the payment of which is subordinated at least to the extent provided in this Article 6 with respect to the Securities to the payment of all Secured Senior Indebtedness which may at the time be outstanding; provided that (i) the Secured Senior Indebtedness is assumed by the new corporation, if any, resulting from any reorganization or readjustment, and (ii) the rights of the holders of Secured Senior Indebtedness (other than leases which are not assumed by the Company or the new corporation, as the case may be) are not, without the consent of such Holders, altered by such reorganization or readjustment.

Section 6.03 Subrogation of Securities .

No payments or distributions of cash, property or securities to or for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities, pursuant to the subrogation provisions of this Article 6, which would otherwise have been paid to the holders of Secured Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or for the account of the Securities. It is understood that the provisions of this Article 6 are and are intended solely for the purposes of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities, on the one hand, and the holders of the Secured Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand.

If the Trustee does not file a proper proof of claim or proof of debt in the form required in any proceeding referred to in Section 6.03 hereof at least 30 days before the expiration of the time to file such claim, the holders of any Secured Senior Indebtedness or their representatives are hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of the Holders of the Securities.

Notwithstanding anything in this Article 6 to the contrary, nothing shall prevent any payment by the Trustee and the Agents to the Holders of monies deposited with it pursuant to Article 11, and any such payment shall not be subject to the provisions of Article 6.

(b) In the event that the Trustee or any Agent determines in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Secured Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 6, the Trustee or any Agent may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee or such Agent as to the amount of Secured Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article 6, and if such evidence is not furnished the Trustee or any Agent may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment.

Section 6.06 Trustee’s Relation to Secured Senior Indebtedness .

(a) The Trustee and the Agents, respectively, in their individual capacities shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article 6 in respect of any Secured Senior Indebtedness at any time held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Secured Senior Indebtedness, and nothing in Section 10.11 or elsewhere in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee or any such Agents of any of its rights as such holder.

Section 6.07 No Impairment of Subordination .

No right of any present or future holder of any Secured Senior Indebtedness to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such holder may have or otherwise be charged with.

Section 6.08 Limitation on Subordinated Indebtedness .

The Company shall not incur any Indebtedness if such Indebtedness is subordinate or junior in ranking in any respect to any Secured Senior Indebtedness unless such Indebtedness is Unsecured Senior Indebtedness or is contractually subordinated in right of payment to Unsecured Senior Indebtedness. For purposes of the foregoing, no Indebtedness will be deemed to be subordinated or junior in right of payment to any other Indebtedness solely by virtue of being unsecured.

Section 6.09 Certain Conversions Deemed Payment .

For the purposes of this Article 6 only, (1) the issuance and delivery of junior securities upon conversion of Securities in accordance with Article 6 shall not be deemed to constitute a payment or distribution on account of the principal of or interest on Securities or on account of the purchase or other acquisition of Securities, and (2) the payment, issuance or delivery of cash (except in satisfaction of fractional shares pursuant to Section 5.03), property or securities (other than junior securities) upon conversion of a Security shall be deemed to constitute payment on account of the principal of such Security.

Nothing contained in this Article 6 or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than holders of Secured Senior Indebtedness and the Holders, the right, which is absolute and unconditional, of the Holder of any Security to convert such Security in accordance with Article 6.

Section 6.10 Article Applicable to Paying Agents .

If at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term “Trustee” as used in this Article shall (unless the context otherwise requires) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were named in this Article in addition to or in place of the Trustee; provided, however , that Section 6.05(a) shall not apply to the Company or any wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company if it or such Affiliate acts as Paying Agent.

Section 6.11 Senior Indebtedness Entitled to Rely .

The holders of Secured Senior Indebtedness (including, without limitation, Designated Secured Senior Indebtedness) shall have the right to rely upon this Article 6, and no amendment or modification of the provisions contained herein shall diminish the rights of such holders unless such holders shall have agreed in writing thereto.

(b) Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute actual or constructive knowledge or notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

Section 7.03 Compliance Certificates .

Whether a Person is a beneficial holder shall be determined by the Company.

Section 7.07 Stay, Extension and Usury Laws .

The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of or accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the Securities as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture, and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Section 7.08 Payment of Rule 144 Default Additional Interest .

(a) If, at any time during the six month period beginning on, and including, the date which is six months after the last date of the original issuance of the Securities, the Company fails to timely file any document or report that the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable (after giving effect to all applicable grace periods pursuant to Rule 12b-25 thereunder and other than current reports on Form 8-K), the Company shall pay an additional interest (a “ Rule 144 Default Additional Interest ”) on the Securities which shall accrue on the Securities at a rate of 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of Securities outstanding for each day during such six month period for which the Company’s failure to file has occurred and is continuing.

Section 9.02 Acceleration .

(a) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (8) or (9) of Section 9.01(a) in respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may, by notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may, by notice to the Company and the Trustee, declare the principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, through the date of declaration on all the Securities to be immediately due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal amount and such accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 9.01(a)(8) or (9) occurs in respect of the Company and is continuing, the principal amount and accrued but unpaid interest, if any, through the occurrence of such Event of Default on all the Securities shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders of Securities. The Company shall promptly notify holders of Secured Senior Indebtedness if payment of the Securities is accelerated because of an Event of Default. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration and its consequences if:

(i) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of the Securities which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived;

(ii) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest (calculated at the rate per annum borne by the Securities) on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid;

(iii) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; and

(iv) all payments due to the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under Section 10.07 have been made. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, if the Company elects, the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to the Company’s failure to perform or observe the covenant in Section 7.02 will, for the 180 days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default, consist exclusively of the right to receive additional interest (the “ Reporting Default Additional Interest ”) on the Securities at an annual rate equal to (i) 0.25% of the outstanding principal amount of the Securities from the first date of the occurrence of such Event of Default to, but not including, the 90th day thereafter (or such earlier date on which the Event of Default relating to the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations pursuant to Section 7.02 shall have been cured or waived) and (ii) 0.50% of the outstanding principal amount of the Securities from the 91st date following the occurrence of such Event of Default to the 180th day after the first date of the occurrence of such Event of Default (or such earlier date on which the Event of Default relating to the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations pursuant to Section 7.02 shall have been cured or waived). In the event the Company does not elect to pay the Reporting Default Additional Interest following an Event of Default in accordance with this Section 9.02(b), the Securities will be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 9.02(a). If the Company so elects, such Reporting Default Additional Interest will be payable in the same manner and on the same Interest Payment Dates as the stated interest payable on the Securities. On the 181st day after such Event of Default (if the Event of Default relating to a failure by the Company to comply with its obligations pursuant to Section 7.02 is not cured or waived prior to such 181st day), such Reporting Default Additional Interest will cease to accrue and the Securities will be subject to acceleration in accordance with Section 9.02(a). For the avoidance of doubt, in the event Rule 144 Default Additional Interest is also triggered pursuant to Section 7.08, the interest rate applicable to the Securities under such Section 7.08 shall apply to the Securities pursuant to this Section 9.02(b) and shall constitute the exclusive rate of additional interest applicable to the Securities under such circumstances. In order to elect to pay the Reporting Default Additional Interest as the sole remedy during the first 180 days after the occurrence of an Event of Default relating to the Company’s obligations pursuant to Section 7.02, the Company must notify all Holders and the Trustee and Paying Agent of such election prior to the beginning of such 180-day period. Upon the Company’s failure to timely give such notice, the Securities will be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in Section 9.02(a). The provisions of this Section 9.02(b) will not affect the rights of Holders in the event of the occurrence of any other Event of Default.

Section 9.03 Other Remedies .

(a) Subject to Section 10.01(a), if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect payment of the principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities or this Indenture.

(b) The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Section 9.05 Control by Majority .

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may direct the time method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of another Holder or the Trustee, or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability unless the Trustee is offered security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it; provided, however , that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

Section 9.06 Limitations on Suits .

(2) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(3) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against any loss, liability or expense;

(4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and

(5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding.

(b) No Holder of a Security shall have any right under any provision of this Indenture or the Securities to affect, disturb, or prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Security or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Security.

Section 9.08 Collection Suit by Trustee .

If an Event of Default described in clause (1) or (2) of Section 9.01(a) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company or another obligor on the Securities for the whole amount owing with respect to the Securities and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

Section 9.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim .

The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor on the Securities), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, and any Receiver in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 10.07, and to the extent that such payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances in any such proceedings shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other property which the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceedings, whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to, or, on behalf of any Holder, to authorize, accept or adopt any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 9.10 Priorities .

(1) First, to the Trustee (including any predecessor trustee) for amounts due under Section 10.07;

(2) Second, to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities for the principal amount and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to such respective amounts due and payable on the Holders’ Securities;

(3) Third, the balance, if any, to the Company.

(b) The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 9.10.

Section 9.11 Undertaking for Costs .

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 9.11 does not apply to a suit made by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 9.07 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding. This Section 9.11 shall be in lieu of Section 315(e) of the TIA and such Section 315(e) is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture, as permitted by the TIA.

However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Security or portion of a Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective.

Section 12.06 Trustee to Sign Amendments, Etc.

The Trustee shall sign any amendment or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 12 if the amendment or supplemental indenture does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee.

The Company may not sign an amendment or supplement indenture until the Board of Directors approves it.

Section 12.07 Effect of Supplemental Indentures .

Securities so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to the Securities and that the pledgee is not the Company or any other obligor on the Securities or any Affiliate of the Company or of such other obligor.

The aforesaid $275,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Securities (the “Initial Securities”) to be purchased by the Initial Purchasers and all or any part of the $25,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Securities subject to the option described in Section 2(b) hereof (the “Option Securities”) are hereinafter called, collectively, the “Securities.” The Securities are to be issued pursuant to an indenture to be dated as of May 23, 2011 (the “Indenture”) between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”).

There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or brought by any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, now pending, or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, against or affecting the Company or any subsidiary, that would be required to be described in a registration statement of the Company filed under the 1933 Act (other than as disclosed in the Disclosure Package), or that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, or which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the properties, rights or assets thereof or the consummation of the transactions contemplated in the Transaction Documents or the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder; the aggregate of all pending legal or governmental proceedings to which the Company or any subsidiary is a party or of which any of their respective property, rights or assets is the subject which are not described in the Disclosure Package and Final Offering Memorandum, including ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(xix) Possession of Intellectual Property . The Company and its Subsidiaries own or license all rights in, all material trademarks, servicemarks, trade names, patents, copyrights and any registrations and applications for each of the foregoing, domain names, trade secrets, and other similar intellectual property (collectively, “Intellectual Property Rights”) as necessary to conduct their respective businesses as now conducted, free and clear of all liens, other than liens that would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Company is not a party to or bound by any licenses or agreements with respect to the Intellectual Property Rights of any other person or entity that would be required to be described in a registration statement of the Company filed under the 1933 Act and are not described in the Disclosure Package accurately in all material respects. Neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice of and is not in breach of any of its obligations under any licenses or agreements to which it is a party or by which it is bound with respect to any Intellectual Property Rights and, to the Company’s knowledge, no other party to such licenses or agreements is in breach thereof, which, in each case, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. To the Company’s knowledge, none of the technology employed by the Company has been obtained or is being used by the Company in violation of any contractual obligation binding on the Company or any of its officers, directors or employees. Except as set forth in the Disclosure Package and Final Offering Memorandum or as would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (i) to the Company’s knowledge, there is no infringement, misappropriation or violation by any third party of any Intellectual Property Rights owned by or exclusively licensed to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (ii) there is no pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened (in writing) action, suit, proceeding or claim by others against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any claim of infringement, misappropriation or violation by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or conflict with Intellectual Property Rights of others or challenging, denying or restricting the Company’s or such Subsidiary’s rights in or to any Intellectual Property Rights owned by or exclusively licensed to the Company, and, to the Company’s knowledge, there are no existing facts which would form a reasonable basis for any such claims; and (iii) there is no pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened action, suit, proceeding or claim by others against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries challenging the ownership, use, validity or scope of any Intellectual Property Rights owned by or exclusively licensed to the Company, and, to the Company’s knowledge, there are no existing facts which would form a reasonable basis for any such claim. The registered and applied for Intellectual Property Rights owned by, or exclusively licensed to, the Company are (i) subsisting and unexpired, and to the Company’s knowledge, valid and enforceable, and (ii) to the extent material to the Company, are being diligently prosecuted and maintained.

(xx) Absence of Further Requirements . No filing with, or authorization, approval, consent, license, order, registration, qualification or decree of, any court or governmental authority or agency is necessary or required for the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder, in connection with the offering, issuance or sale of the Securities hereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, except (A) such as have been already obtained or will be made on or prior to the Closing Time, (B) as may be required under the securities or blue sky laws of the various states in which the Securities will be offered or sold, (C) the listing requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market, and (D) those which, singly or in the aggregate, if not made would not would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or have a material effect on the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

(xxi) Absence of Manipulation . Neither the Company nor any affiliate of the Company under the “control,” as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the 1933 Act, of the Company nor, to the Company’s knowledge, any affiliate of the Company not under the “control” of the Company has taken, nor will the Company or any such affiliate under the “control” of the Company take, directly or indirectly, any action which is designed to or which has constituted or which would reasonably be expected to cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company in connection with the offering of the Securities.

(xxii) Possession of Licenses and Permits . The Company and its subsidiaries possess such permits, licenses, approvals, consents and other authorizations (collectively, “Governmental Licenses”) issued by the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign regulatory agencies or bodies necessary to conduct the business now operated by them, except where the failure so to possess would not, singly or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; the Company and its subsidiaries are in compliance with the terms and conditions of all such Governmental Licenses, except where the failure so to comply would not, singly or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; all of the Governmental Licenses are valid and in full force and effect, except where the invalidity of such Governmental Licenses or the failure of such Governmental Licenses to be in full force and effect would not, singly or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; and neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such Governmental Licenses which, singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(xxiii) Leased Property . All of the leases and subleases material to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries, considered as one enterprise, and under which the Company or any of its subsidiaries holds properties described in the Disclosure Package and Final Offering Memorandum, are in full force and effect, and neither the Company nor any subsidiary has any notice of any material claim of any sort that has been asserted by anyone adverse to the rights of the Company or any subsidiary under any of the leases or subleases mentioned above, or affecting or questioning the rights of the Company or such subsidiary to the continued possession of the leased or subleased premises under any such lease or sublease.

(xxiv) Investment Company Act . The Company is not required, and after giving effect to the issuance and sale of the offered Securities and the application of the net proceeds therefrom as described in the Disclosure Package and in the Final Offering Memorandum under “Use of Proceeds,” will not be required, to register as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).

(xxv) Accounting Controls and Disclosure Controls . (A) The Company and each of its subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that (1) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; (2) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain accountability for assets; (3) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; and (4) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. Except as described in the Disclosure Package and Final Offering Memorandum, since the end of the Company’s most recent audited fiscal year, there has been (x) no material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (whether or not remediated) and (y) no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

(B) The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries employ disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the 1934 Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, including controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the 1934 Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(xxvi) Compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act . There is and has been no failure on the part of the Company or any of the Company’s directors or officers, in their capacities as such, to comply in all material respects with any provision of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations promulgated in connection therewith (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), including Section 402 related to loans and Sections 302 and 906 related to certifications.

(xxvii) Payment of Taxes . All United States federal income tax returns of the Company and its subsidiaries required by law to be filed have been filed and all such returns are complete and correct in all material respects. All taxes shown by such returns or otherwise assessed, which are due and payable, have been paid, except assessments against which appeals have been or will be promptly taken and as to which reserves have been provided to the extent required by GAAP. The United States federal income tax returns of the Company through the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 have been settled and no assessment in connection therewith has been made against the Company. The Company and its subsidiaries have filed all other tax returns that are required to have been filed by them pursuant to applicable foreign, state, local or other law except insofar as the failure to file such returns would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and has paid all taxes due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessment received by the Company and its subsidiaries, except for such taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith and as to which reserves have been provided to the extent required by GAAP. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Company in respect of any income and corporation tax liability for any years not finally determined are adequate to meet any assessments or re-assessments for additional income tax for any years not finally determined, except to the extent of any inadequacy that would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(xxviii) Insurance . The Company and its subsidiaries carry or are entitled to the benefits of insurance, with financially sound and reputable insurers, in such amounts and covering such risks that is reasonable and appropriate for its industry, and all such insurance is in full force and effect. The Company has no reason to believe that it or any subsidiary will not be able (A) to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such policies expire or (B) to obtain comparable coverage from similar institutions as may be necessary or appropriate to conduct its business as now conducted and at a cost that would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Since January 1, 2008, neither of the Company nor any subsidiary has been denied any insurance coverage which it has sought or for which it has applied.

(xxix) Registration Rights . Except as identified in the Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum, there are no contracts, agreements or understandings between the Company and any person granting such person the right to require the Company to file a registration statement under the 1933 Act with respect to any securities of the Company owned or to be owned by such person or to require the Company to include such securities in any securities being registered pursuant to any registration statement filed by the Company under the 1933 Act.

(xxx) Similar Offerings . Neither the Company nor to its knowledge any of its affiliates, as such term is defined in Rule 501(b) under the 1933 Act (each, an “Affiliate”) has, directly or indirectly, solicited any offer to buy, sold or offered to sell or otherwise negotiated in respect of, or will solicit any offer to buy, sell or offer to sell or otherwise negotiate in respect of, in the United States or to any United States citizen or resident, any security which is or would be integrated with the sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the offered Securities to be registered under the 1933 Act.

(xxxi) Rule 144A Eligibility . The Securities are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A and will not be, at the Closing Time, of the same class (within the meaning of Rule 144A under the 1933 Act) as securities of the Company listed on a national securities exchange registered under Section 6 of the 1934 Act, or quoted in a U.S. automated interdealer quotation system.

(xxxii) No General Solicitation . None of the Company, to its knowledge, its Affiliates or any person acting on its or any of their behalf (other than the Initial Purchasers, as to whom the Company makes no representation) has engaged or will engage, in connection with the offering of the offered Securities, in any form of general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502(c) under the 1933 Act.

(xxxiii) No Registration Required . Subject to compliance by the Initial Purchasers with the representations and warranties of the Initial Purchasers and the procedures set forth in Section 6 hereof, it is not necessary in connection with the offer, sale and delivery of the offered Securities to the Initial Purchasers and to each Subsequent Purchaser in the manner contemplated by this Agreement and the Disclosure Package and Final Offering Memorandum to register the Securities under the 1933 Act or to qualify the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “1939 Act”).

(xxxiv) ERISA Compliance . The Company and its subsidiaries and any “employee benefit plan” (as defined under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (collectively, “ERISA”)) established or maintained by the Company, its subsidiaries or their “ERISA Affiliates” (as defined below) are in compliance in all material respects with ERISA. “ERISA Affiliate” means, with respect to the Company or its subsidiaries, any member of any group of organizations described in Section 414 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (the “Code”) of which the Company or its subsidiaries is a member. No “reportable event” (as defined under ERISA) has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to any “employee benefit plan” that is subject to Title IV of ERISA established or maintained by the Company, its subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates. No “employee benefit plan” subject to Title IV of ERISA established or maintained by the Company, its subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates, if such “employee benefit plan” were terminated, would have any “amount of unfunded benefit liabilities” (as defined under ERISA). Neither the Company, its subsidiaries nor any of their ERISA Affiliates has incurred or reasonably expects to incur any liability under (i) Title IV of ERISA with respect to termination of, or withdrawal from, any “employee benefit plan” or (ii) Sections 412, 4971, 4975 or 4980B of the Code. Each “employee benefit plan” established or maintained by the Company, its subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates that is intended to be qualified under Section 401 of the Code is so qualified and nothing has occurred, whether by action or failure to act, which would cause the loss of such qualification.

(xxxv) Foreign Corrupt Practices Act . Neither the Company nor, to the knowledge of the Company, any director, officer, agent, employee, affiliate or other person acting on behalf of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is aware of or has taken any action, directly or indirectly, that would result in a violation by such persons of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “FCPA”), including, without limitation, making use of the mails or any means or instrumentality of interstate commerce corruptly in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay or authorization of the payment of any money, or other property, gift, promise to give, or authorization of the giving of anything of value to any “foreign official” (as such term is defined in the FCPA) or any foreign political party or official thereof or any candidate for foreign political office, in contravention of the FCPA and the Company and, to the knowledge of the Company, its affiliates have conducted their businesses in compliance with the FCPA and have instituted and maintain policies and procedures designed to ensure, and which are reasonably expected to continue to ensure, continued compliance therewith.

(xxxvi) Money Laundering Laws . The operations of the Company are and have been conducted at all times in compliance in all material respects with applicable financial recordkeeping and reporting requirements of the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 1970, as amended, the money laundering statutes of all applicable jurisdictions, the rules and regulations thereunder and any related or similar rules, regulations or guidelines, issued, administered or enforced by any governmental agency (collectively, the “Money Laundering Laws”), and no action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving the Company with respect to the Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened.

(xxxvii) OFAC . Neither the Company nor, to the knowledge of the Company, any director, officer, agent, employee, affiliate or person acting on behalf of the Company is currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department (“OFAC”); and the Company will not directly or indirectly use the proceeds of the offering, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any subsidiary, joint venture partner or other person or entity, with the intent to finance the activities of any person currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by OFAC.

(b) Officer’s Certificates . Any certificate signed by any officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries delivered to the Initial Purchasers or to counsel for the Initial Purchasers shall be deemed a representation and warranty by the Company to each Initial Purchaser as to the matters covered thereby.

The Initial Purchasers may exercise the option to purchase the Option Securities at any time in whole, or from time to time in part, on or before the thirtieth day following the date of this Agreement, only for the purpose of covering over-allotments which may be made in connection with the offering and distribution of the Initial Securities, by written notice from the Representatives to the Company. Such notice shall set forth the aggregate amount of Option Securities as to which the option is being exercised and the time and date when the Option Securities are to be delivered and paid for (the “Date of Delivery”), which Date of Delivery may be the same time and date as the Closing Time but shall not be earlier than the Closing Time nor later than the tenth full business day after the date of such notice (unless such time and date are postponed in accordance with the provisions of Section 11 hereof). Any such notice shall be given at least two business days prior to the Date of Delivery specified therein.

Payment of the purchase price for the Initial Securities shall be made to the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by the Company, against delivery to the Initial Purchasers for the respective accounts of the Initial Purchasers of certificates for the Securities to be purchased by them.

(d) Denominations; Registration . Certificates for the Initial Securities and the Option Securities, if any, shall be in global form and registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. The certificates evidencing the Securities shall be delivered to the Trustee at the Closing Time or the relevant Date of Delivery, as the case may be, for the account of the Initial Purchasers.

(b) Notice and Effect of Material Events . The Company will promptly notify the Initial Purchasers, and confirm such notice in writing, of (x) any filing made by the Company of information relating to the offering of the Securities with any securities exchange or any other regulatory body in the United States or any other jurisdiction, and (y) prior to the completion of the placement of the offered Securities by the Initial Purchasers (and in any event for a period of not more than 14 days after the later of the Closing Time or the latest Date of Delivery, if any), any material changes in or affecting the condition, financial or otherwise, or the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise which (i) make any statement of a material fact in the Disclosure Package, any Offering Memorandum or any Supplemental Offering Material false or misleading or (ii) are not disclosed in the Disclosure Package or the Offering Memorandum. In such event or if during such time any event shall occur as a result of which it is necessary, in the reasonable opinion of any of the Company, its counsel, the Representatives or counsel for the Initial Purchasers, to amend or supplement the Offering Memorandum in order that the Offering Memorandum not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing, the Company will forthwith amend or supplement the Offering Memorandum by preparing and furnishing to the Initial Purchasers an amendment or amendments of, or a supplement or supplements to, the Offering Memorandum (in form and substance satisfactory in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Initial Purchasers) so that, as so amended or supplemented, the Offering Memorandum will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances then existing, not misleading.

(c) Amendment and Supplements to the Offering Memorandum; Preparation of Pricing Supplement; Supplemental Offering Materials . The Company will advise the Initial Purchasers promptly of any proposal to amend or supplement the Offering Memorandum or any Supplemental Offering Materials and will not effect any such amendment or supplement without the consent of the Representatives, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

The Company will prepare the Pricing Supplement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Representatives, and shall furnish prior to the Applicable Time to the Initial Purchasers, without charge, as many copies of the Pricing Supplement as the Initial Purchasers may reasonably request. The Company represents that it has not made and, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Representatives, will not make, any offer relating to the Securities by means of any Supplemental Offering Materials.

(e) Qualification of Securities for Offer and Sale . The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Initial Purchasers to qualify the Securities for offering and sale under the applicable securities laws of such states and other jurisdictions (domestic and foreign) as the Initial Purchasers may designate and to maintain such qualifications in effect as long as required for the sale of the Securities; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so subject.

(f) Use of Proceeds . The Company will use the net proceeds received by it from the sale of the Securities in the manner specified in the Offering Memorandum under “Use of Proceeds.”

(g) Restriction on Sale of Securities .

SECTION 6. Subsequent Offers and Resales of the Securities .

(a) Offer and Sale Procedures . The Initial Purchasers and the Company hereby establish and agree to observe the following procedures in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities:

(i) Offers and Sales . Offers and sales of the Securities shall be made only to such persons and in such manner as is contemplated by the Offering Memorandum.

(ii) No General Solicitation . No general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Rule 502(c) under the 1933 Act) will be used in the United States in connection with the offering or sale of the Securities.

(iii) Subsequent Purchaser Notification . The Initial Purchaser will take reasonable steps to inform, and cause each of its U.S. Affiliates to take reasonable steps to inform, persons acquiring Securities from the Initial Purchasers or their Affiliates, as the case may be, in the United States that the Securities shall bear the restrictive legend set forth in the Offering Memorandum in the section entitled “Transfer Restrictions” and (A) have not been and will not be registered under the 1933 Act, (B) are being sold to them without registration under the 1933 Act in reliance on Rule 144A or in accordance with another exemption from registration under the 1933 Act, as the case may be, and (C) may not be offered, sold or otherwise transferred except (1) to the Company or one of its subsidiaries or (2) in accordance with (x) Rule 144A to a person whom the seller reasonably believes is a QIB that is purchasing such Securities for its own account or for the account of a QIB to whom notice is given that the offer, sale or transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A or (y) pursuant to another available exemption from registration under the 1933 Act.

(iv) Minimum Principal Amount . No sale of the Securities to any one Subsequent Purchaser will be for less than U.S. $1,000 principal amount and no Security will be issued in a smaller principal amount. If the Subsequent Purchaser is a non-bank fiduciary acting on behalf of others, each person for whom it is acting must purchase at least U.S. $1,000 principal amount of the Securities.

(v) Transfer Restriction . The transfer restrictions and the other provisions set forth in the Offering Memorandum under the caption “Transfer Restrictions,” including the legend required thereby, shall apply to the Securities. Following the sale of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers to each Subsequent Purchaser pursuant to and in compliance with the terms hereof, the Initial Purchasers shall not be liable or responsible to the Company for any losses, damages or liabilities suffered or incurred by the Company, including any losses, damages or liabilities under the 1933 Act, arising from or relating to any subsequent resale or transfer of any Security.

(b) Covenants of the Company . The Company covenants with the Initial Purchasers as follows:

(i) Integration . Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates (as defined in Rule 501(b) of Regulation D) has, directly or indirectly, sold, offered for sale, solicited offers to buy or otherwise negotiated in respect of, any security (as defined in the Securities Act), that is or will be integrated with the sale of the Securities in a manner that would require registration of the Securities under the Securities Act.

(ii) Rule 144A Information . The Company agrees that, in order to render the offered Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, while any of the offered Securities remain outstanding, it will make available, upon request, to any holder of offered Securities or prospective purchasers of Securities the information specified in Rule 144A(d)(4), unless the Company furnishes information to the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act.

(iii) Restriction on Resales . The Company agrees that, immediately upon acquisition of any Securities that are reacquired by the Company or any of its Affiliates, it will cause such Securities to be submitted to the Trustee for cancellation in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

(c) Qualified Institutional Buyer . Each Initial Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Company, that it is a QIB and an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Section 501(a) under the 1933 Act and has complied and will comply with the procedures applicable to it in this Section 6.

SECTION 7. Indemnification .

(a) Indemnification of Initial Purchasers . The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, its Affiliates, its selling agents and each person, if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act as follows:

(i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Disclosure Package, the Final Offering Memorandum or any Supplemental Offering Materials (or, in each case, any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission; provided that (subject to Section 7(d) below) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company; and

(iii) against any and all documented (to the extent reasonably available) expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Representatives), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above;

provided , however , that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Representatives expressly for use in any preliminary offering memorandum, the Disclosure Package, the Final Offering Memorandum or in any Supplemental Offering Materials (or, in each case, any amendment or supplement thereto).

(b) Indemnification of Company . Each Initial Purchaser severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense, whatsoever as incurred, described in the indemnity contained in subsection (a) of this Section, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in any preliminary offering memorandum, the Disclosure Package, the Final Offering Memorandum or any Supplemental Offering Materials in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Initial Purchaser through the Representatives expressly for use therein.

(c) Actions against Parties; Notification . Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. In the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 7(a) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Representatives, and, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 7(b) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Company. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. In the event that (i) that the indemnifying party fails to assume the defense of any such claim in a timely manner or (ii) if there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the reasonable judgment of such indemnified party for the same counsel to represent both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, or (iii) if the indemnifying party fails to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party in a timely manner or (iv) counsel to such indemnified party determines that one or more defenses may be available to such indemnified party that are not available to the indemnifying party or another indemnified party, then such indemnified party may employ separate counsel to represent or defend it in any such action or proceeding and the indemnifying party will pay the reasonable and customary fees and disbursements of such counsel; provided , however , that in no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. In the absence of any of the foregoing, in any action or proceeding the defense of which the indemnifying party assumes, such indemnified party will have the right to participate in such litigation and to retain its own counsel at such indemnified party's own expense. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 7 or Section 8 hereof (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d) Settlement without Consent if Failure to Reimburse . If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 7(a)(ii) effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.

SECTION 8. Contribution . If the indemnification provided for in Section 7 hereof is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other hand from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Initial Purchasers on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the total underwriting discount received by the Initial Purchasers bear to the aggregate initial offering price of the Securities.

The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Initial Purchasers and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The Company and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, no Initial Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities purchased and sold by it hereunder exceeds the amount of any damages which such Initial Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

For purposes of this Section, each person, if any, who controls an Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act and each Initial Purchaser’s Affiliates and selling agents shall have the same rights to contribution as such Initial Purchaser, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.

SECTION 9. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive . All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement or in certificates of officers of the Company or its subsidiaries submitted pursuant hereto shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of an Initial Purchaser or its Affiliates or selling agents, any person controlling the Initial Purchaser, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and (ii) delivery of and payment for the Securities.

SECTION 10. Termination of Agreement .

(a) Termination; General . The Representatives may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the Company, at any time at or prior to the Closing Time (i) if there has been, since the time of execution of this Agreement or since the date as of which information is given in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Disclosure Package or the Final Offering Memorandum (exclusive of any amendments or supplements thereto subsequent to the date of this Agreement), a Material Adverse Effect, which would make it impracticable or inadvisable to market the Securities or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities, or (ii) if there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or the international financial markets, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions, in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Representatives, impracticable or inadvisable to market the Securities or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities, or (iii) if trading in any securities of the Company has been suspended or materially limited by the Commission or the NASDAQ Global Market, or if trading generally on the New York Stock Exchange or in the NASDAQ Global Market has been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by any of said exchanges or by such system or by order of the Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority or any other governmental authority, or (iv) a material disruption has occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States, or (v) if a banking moratorium has been declared by either Federal or New York authorities.

(b) Liabilities . If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section, such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 4 hereof, and provided further that Sections 1, 7, 8 and 9 shall survive such termination and remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 11. Default by One or More of the Initial Purchasers . If one of the Initial Purchasers shall fail at the Closing Time or a Date of Delivery to purchase the Securities which it is obligated to purchase under this Agreement (the “Defaulted Securities”), the Representatives shall have the right, but not the obligation, within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements for one or more of the other Initial Purchasers (the “Non-Defaulting Initial Purchasers”), or any other initial purchasers reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted Securities upon the terms herein set forth; if, however, the Representatives shall not have competed such arrangements within such 24 hour period, then:

(i) if the number of Defaulted Securities does not exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be purchased on such date, the Non-Defaulting Initial Purchasers shall be obligated, severally and not jointly, to purchase the full amount thereof in the proportions that their respective underwriting obligations hereunder bear to the underwriting obligations of all Non-Defaulting Initial Purchasers, or

(ii) if the number of Defaulted Securities exceeds 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be purchased on such date, this Agreement or, with respect to any Date of Delivery which occurs after the Closing Time, the obligation of the Non-Defaulting Initial Purchasers to purchase and of the Company to sell the Option Securities to be purchased and sold on such Date of Delivery, shall terminate without liability on the part of the Non-Defaulting Initial Purchasers.

No action taken pursuant to this Section shall relieve any defaulting Initial Purchaser from liability in respect of its default.

In the event of any such default which does not result in a termination of this Agreement or, in the case of a Date of Delivery which is after the Closing Time, which does not result in a termination of the obligation of the Initial Purchasers to purchase and the Company to sell the relevant Option Securities, as the case may be, either the (i) Representatives or (ii) the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Time or the relevant Date of Delivery, as the case may be, for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes in the Disclosure Package and Final Offering Memorandum or in any other documents or arrangements. As used herein, the term “Initial Purchaser” includes any person substituted for an Initial Purchaser under this Section 11.

SECTION 12. Notices . All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or transmitted by any standard form of telecommunication. Notices to the Initial Purchasers shall be directed to Barclays Capital Inc. at 745 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019, Attention: Syndicate Registration, Fax: 646-834-8133, with a copy, in the case of any notice pursuant to Section 7 hereof to the Office of the General Counsel, Barclays Capital Inc., 745 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019 and Office of the General Counsel, Fax: 212-520-0421, and to Goldman, Sachs & Co. at 200 West Street, New York, New York 10282, Attention: Registration Department, with a copy, in each case, to Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, 425 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10017, attention of Roxane Reardon; and notices to the Company shall be directed to it at 1450 Broadway, New York, New York 10018, attention of General Counsel, with a copy to White & Case LLP, 1155 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10036, attention of Nazim Zilkha.

SECTION 13. No Advisory or Fiduciary Relationship . The Company acknowledges and agrees that (a) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the offering price of the Securities and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and the several Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, (b) in connection with the offering contemplated hereby and the process leading to such transaction each Initial Purchaser is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the agent or fiduciary of the Company, or its shareholders, creditors, employees or any other party, (c) no Initial Purchaser has assumed and will not assume an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Initial Purchaser has advised or is currently advising the Company on other matters) and no Initial Purchaser has any obligation to the Company with respect to the offering contemplated hereby except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement, (d) the Initial Purchasers and their Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company, and (e) the Initial Purchasers have not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the offering contemplated hereby and the Company has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate.

SECTION 14. Integration . This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Company and the Initial Purchasers with respect to the subject matter hereof.

SECTION 15. Parties . This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Initial Purchasers and the Company and their respective successors. Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person, firm or corporation, other than the Initial Purchasers and the Company and their respective successors and the controlling persons and officers and directors referred to in Sections 7 and 8 and their respective heirs and legal representatives, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision herein contained. This Agreement and all conditions and provisions hereof are intended to be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Initial Purchasers and the Company and their respective successors, and said controlling persons and officers and directors and their heirs and legal representatives, and for the benefit of no other person, firm or corporation. No purchaser of Securities from any Initial Purchaser shall be deemed to be a successor by reason merely of such purchase.

SECTION 16. USA Patriot Act . The parties to the Agreement acknowledge that, in accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56), the Initial Purchasers are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Company, which information may include the names and addresses of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the Initial Purchasers to properly identify their respective clients.

SECTION 17. GOVERNING LAW . THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

In the event of any inconsistency between the Swap Definitions and the Equity Definitions, the Equity Definitions will govern, and in the event of any inconsistency between the Definitions and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will govern. References herein to the “Transaction” shall be deemed to be references to a “Share Option Transaction” for purposes of the Equity Definitions and a “Swap Transaction” for the purposes of the Swap Definitions.

This Confirmation, together with the Agreement (as defined below), evidences a complete and binding agreement between Counterparty and Barclays as to the terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates.

In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of that Agreement and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will prevail for the purpose of the Transaction. The parties hereby agree that the Transaction evidenced by this Confirmation shall be the only Transaction subject to and governed by the Agreement.

In the event of any inconsistency between the Note Indenture (as defined below) and this Confirmation, this Confirmation shall govern. For the avoidance of doubt, references herein to sections of the Note Indenture are based on the draft of the Note Indenture most recently reviewed by the parties at the time of this Confirmation.

	If Counterparty is permitted to or required to exercise discretion under the terms of the Note Indenture with respect to any determination, calculation or adjustment relevant to conversion of the Reference Notes including, but not limited to, the volume-weighted average price of the Shares, Counterparty shall consult with Barclays with respect thereto.

“ Repayment Event ” means that (a) any Reference Notes are repurchased (whether in connection with or as a result of a fundamental change, howsoever defined, or for any other reason) by the Counterparty, (b) any Reference Notes are delivered to the Counterparty in exchange for delivery of any property or assets of the Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries (howsoever described), other than as a result of and in connection with a Conversion Date, (c) any principal of any of the Reference Notes is repaid prior to the Final Maturity Date (as defined in the Note Indenture) (whether following acceleration of the Reference Notes or otherwise), provided that no payments of cash made in respect of the conversion of a Reference Note shall be deemed a payment of principal under this clause (c), (d) any Reference Notes are exchanged by or for the benefit of the holders thereof for any other securities of the Counterparty or any of its Affiliates (or any other property, or any combination thereof) pursuant to any exchange offer or similar transaction or (e) any of the Reference Notes is surrendered by Counterparty to the trustee for cancellation, other than registration of a transfer of such Reference Notes or as a result of and in connection with a Conversion Date.

Initial Purchase Event . If an Initial Purchase Event (as defined below) occurs, the Transaction shall terminate automatically in its entirety and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, only the payments specified below shall be required hereunder in connection with such Initial Purchase Event.

“ Initial Purchase Event ” means that the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement between the Counterparty, Barclays Capital Inc. and Goldman, Sachs & Co. (Barclays Capital Inc. and Goldman, Sachs & Co., the “ Initial Purchasers ”), dated as of May 17, 2011, (the “ Purchase Agreement ”) shall fail to close for any reason by the closing date for the offering of the Reference Notes as specified in the Purchase Agreement.

If an Initial Purchase Event occurs for any reason other than a breach of the Purchase Agreement by the Initial Purchasers, then all payments previously made hereunder shall be returned to the person making such payment, including the Premium, less an amount equal to the product of (a) 4,918,181 Shares, (b) 0.50 and (c) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the closing price of the Shares on the Trade Date over the closing price of the Shares on the date of the Termination Event (such product, the “ Break Expense ”); provided that any negative amount shall be replaced by zero and provided further that, to the extent the Premium has not been paid, Buyer shall promptly pay Seller the Break Expense. Seller and Buyer agree that actual damages would be difficult to ascertain under these circumstances and that the amount of liquidated damages resulting from the determination in the preceding sentence is a good faith estimate of such damages and not a penalty.

If an Initial Purchase Event occurs due to a breach of the Purchase Agreement by the Initial Purchasers, then all payments previously made hereunder, including the Premium, promptly shall be returned to the person making such payment and no payments shall be required hereunder in connection with such Initial Purchase Event.

Staggered Settlement:

If Seller determines reasonably and in good faith that the number of Shares required to be delivered to Buyer hereunder on any Settlement Date would have resulted in the Equity Percentage (as defined below) on such date to exceed 8.5%, then Seller may, by notice to Buyer on or prior to such Settlement Date (a “ Nominal Settlement Date ”), elect to deliver the Shares comprising the related Net Share Settlement Amount on two or more dates (each, a “ Staggered Settlement Date ”) or at two or more times on the Nominal Settlement Date as follows:

in such notice, Seller will specify to Buyer 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 twenty (20) Trading Days following such Nominal Settlement Date) or delivery times and how it will allocate the Shares it is required to deliver hereunder among the Staggered Settlement Dates or delivery times;

2.	the aggregate number of Shares that Seller will deliver to Buyer hereunder on all such Staggered Settlement Dates or delivery times will equal the number of Shares that Seller would otherwise be required to deliver on such Nominal Settlement Date; and

3.	the Net Share Settlement terms will apply on each Staggered Settlement Date, except that the Shares comprising the Net Share Settlement Amount will be allocated among such Staggered Settlement Dates or delivery times as specified by Seller in the notice referred to in clause (1) above.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, solely in connection with a Staggered Settlement Date, Seller shall be entitled to deliver Shares to Buyer from time to time prior to the date on which Seller would be obligated to deliver them to Buyer pursuant to Net Share Settlement terms set forth above, and Buyer agrees to credit all such early deliveries against Seller’s obligations hereunder in the direct order in which such obligations arise. No such early delivery of Shares will accelerate or otherwise affect any of Buyer’s obligations to Seller hereunder.

Disposition of Hedge Shares:

Counterparty hereby agrees that if, in the reasonable judgment of Seller based on advice of counsel, the Shares acquired by Seller for the purpose of hedging its obligations pursuant to the Transaction (the “ Hedge Shares ”) cannot be sold in the U.S. public market by Seller without registration under the Securities Act, Counterparty shall, at its election: (i) in order to allow Seller to sell the Hedge Shares in a registered offering, make available to Seller an effective registration statement under the Securities Act to cover the resale of such Hedge Shares and (a) enter into an agreement, in form and substance mutually acceptable to Buyer and Seller, substantially in the form of an underwriting agreement for a registered offering, (b) provide accountant’s “comfort” letters in customary form for registered offerings of equity securities, (c) provide disclosure opinions of nationally recognized outside counsel to Counterparty reasonably acceptable to Seller, (d) provide other customary opinions, certificates and closing documents customary in form for registered offerings of equity securities and (e) afford Seller a reasonable opportunity to conduct a “due diligence” investigation with respect to Counterparty customary in scope for underwritten offerings of equity securities; provided , however , that if Seller, in its reasonable discretion, is not satisfied with access to due diligence materials, the results of its due diligence investigation, or the procedures and documentation for the registered offering referred to above, then clause (ii) or clause (iii) of this Section shall apply at the election of Counterparty; (ii) in order to allow Seller 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 mutually acceptable to Buyer and Seller, including customary representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to Seller, due diligence rights (for Seller or any designated buyer of the Hedge Shares from Seller), opinions and certificates and such other documentation as is customary for private placements agreements, all reasonably acceptable to Seller (in which case, the Calculation Agent shall make any adjustments to the terms of the Transaction that are necessary to compensate Seller 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 Seller at the VWAP Price on such Exchange Business Days, and in the amounts, requested by Seller. “ VWAP Price ” means, on any Exchange Business Day, the per Share volume-weighted average price as displayed under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP” on Bloomberg page “ICON <equity> AQR” (or any successor thereto) in respect of the period from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Exchange Business Day (or if such volume-weighted average price is unavailable, the market value of one Share on such Exchange Business Day, as determined by the Calculation Agent using a volume-weighted method).

Repurchase Notices:

Counterparty shall, on any day on which Counterparty effects any repurchase of Shares, promptly give Seller a written notice of such repurchase (a “ Repurchase Notice ”) on such day if following such repurchase, the Notice Percentage as determined on such day is (i) greater than 9% and (ii) greater by 0.5% than the Notice Percentage included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice (or, in the case of the first such Repurchase Notice, greater than the Notice Percentage as of the date hereof). In the event that Counterparty fails to provide Seller with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this section, then Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons (Seller and each such person being an “ Indemnified Party ”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject under applicable securities laws, including without limitation, Section 16 of the Exchange Act, relating to or arising out of such failure. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnified Party, then Counterparty shall contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability. In addition, Counterparty will reimburse any Indemnified Party for all reasonable and documented expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) as they are incurred (after notice to Counterparty) in connection with the investigation of, preparation for or defense or settlement of any pending or threatened claim or any action, suit or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto and whether or not such claim, action, suit or proceeding is initiated or brought by or on behalf of Counterparty. This indemnity shall survive the completion of the Transaction contemplated by this Confirmation and any assignment and delegation of the Transaction made pursuant to this Confirmation or the Agreement shall inure to the benefit of any permitted assignee of Seller. Counterparty will not be liable to an Indemnified Party under this provision, whether by indemnity or contribution, to the extent that any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense is found in a final judgment by a court to have resulted from that Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The “ Notice Percentage ” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (i) the numerator of which is the product of (a) the Applicable Portion of the Reference Notes, (b) the sum of the number of outstanding Reference Notes underlying the Confirmation and the number of outstanding Reference Notes underlying any Additional Convertible Note Hedge Transactions between Barclays and Counterparty and (c) a number of Shares per Reference Note equal to the Conversion Rate (as defined in the Note Indenture) and (ii) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day.

Conversion Rate Adjustment Notices

In connection with any adjustments to the Conversion Rate under the terms of the Note Indenture, Counterparty shall provide to Barclays a copy of the notice of adjustment required to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.08 of the Note Indenture concurrently with filing of such notice with the Trustee.

Compliance with Securities Laws:	Buyer represents and agrees that, in connection with the Transaction and all related or contemporaneous sales and purchases of Shares by Buyer, Buyer has complied and will comply with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), and the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations each thereunder, including, without limitation, Section 9(a) of, and Rules 10b-5 and 13e and Regulation M under, the Exchange Act; provided that Buyer shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any information communicated by Barclays concerning Barclays’ market activities.

	Each party acknowledges that the offer and sale of the Transaction to it is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof. Accordingly, Buyer represents and warrants to Seller that (i) it has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Transaction and is able to bear a total loss of its investment, (ii) it is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Regulation D as promulgated under the Securities Act and (iii) the disposition of the Transaction is restricted under this Confirmation, the Securities Act and state securities laws.

	Buyer further represents:

	(a) Buyer is not entering into the Transaction to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for Shares);

	(b) Buyer acknowledges that as of the date hereof and without limiting the generality of Section 13.1 of the Equity Definitions, Seller is not making any representations or warranties with respect to the treatment of the Transaction under any accounting standards including ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share , ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging , ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (or any successor issue statements) or under FASB’s Liabilities & Equity Project.

Account Details:	Account for payments to Buyer: To be advised.

	Account for payment to Seller: To be advised.

	Accounts for deliveries of Shares: To be advised.

Bankruptcy Rights:	In the event of Buyer’s bankruptcy, Seller’s rights in connection with the Transaction shall not exceed those rights held by common shareholders. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that Seller’s rights with respect to any other claim arising from the Transaction prior to Buyer’s bankruptcy shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be otherwise abridged or modified in connection herewith.

Netting and Set-Off:	Obligations under the Transaction shall not be netted, recouped or set-off (including pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement) against any other obligations of the parties, whether arising under the Agreement, the Transaction, any other agreement, applicable law or otherwise, and each party hereby waives any such right of set-off, netting or recoupment; provided that both parties agree that subparagraph (ii) of Section 2(c) of the Agreement shall apply to the Transaction.

Collateral:	None.

Transfer:	Buyer shall have the right to assign its rights and delegate its obligations hereunder with respect to any portion of the Transaction, subject to Seller’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that such assignment or transfer shall be subject to receipt by Seller of opinions and documents reasonably satisfactory to Seller and effected on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Seller with respect to any legal and regulatory requirements relevant to the Seller; provided further that Buyer shall not be released from its obligation to deliver any Exercise Notice or its obligations pursuant to “Disposition of Hedge Shares”, “Repurchase Notices” or “Conversion Rate Adjustment Notices” above. Buyer agrees that it shall not be unreasonable for Seller to withhold its consent to any assignment or transfer if Seller determines, based upon the advice of outside counsel, that the assignment or transfer would be inadvisable because it could cause the hedging activities of Seller, or of Buyer’s transferee, related to the transactions contemplated in connection with the issuance of the Reference Notes to fail to comply with applicable securities laws or regulations.

	If at any time at which (1) the Equity Percentage exceeds 9.0% or (2) Barclays, Barclays Group (as defined below) or any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Barclays or Barclays Group (Barclays, Barclays Group or any such person, a “ Barclays Person ”) under Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “ DGCL Takeover Statute ”) or any state or federal bank holding company or banking laws, or other federal, state or local regulations or regulatory orders applicable to ownership of Shares (“ Applicable Laws ”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership in excess of a number of Shares equal to (x) the number of Shares that would give rise to reporting or registration obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval by a state or federal regulator) of a Barclays Person under Applicable Laws (including, without limitation, “interested stockholder” or “acquiring person” status under the DGCL Takeover Statute) and with respect to which such requirements have not been met or the relevant approval has not been received minus (y) 1.0% of the number of Shares outstanding on the date of determination (either such condition described in clause (1) or (2), an “ Excess Ownership Position ”) and Barclays is unable, after commercially reasonable efforts, to effect a transfer or assignment on pricing terms and within a time period reasonably acceptable to it of all or a portion of the Transaction pursuant to the preceding sentence such that an Excess Ownership Position no longer exists, Barclays may designate any Scheduled Trading Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion (the “ Terminated Portion ”) of the Transaction, such that an Excess Ownership Position no longer exists. In the event that Barclays so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (x) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Transaction and a Number of Options equal to the Terminated Portion, (y) Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (z) such Transaction shall be the only Terminated Transaction. The “ Equity Percentage ” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Barclays and any of its affiliates subject to aggregation with Barclays, for purposes of the “beneficial ownership” test under Section 13 of the Exchange Act, and all persons who may form a “group” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act) with Barclays (“ Barclays Group ”), beneficially own (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act) on such day and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day. In circumstances in which the foregoing provisions relating to Seller’s right to transfer or assign its rights or obligations under the Transaction are not applicable, Seller may transfer any of its rights or delegate its obligations under the Transaction with the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that Seller may transfer or assign without any consent of Counterparty its rights and obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, to any of its affiliates (a “ Transferee Affiliate ”) if:

	(a) Seller provides Buyer prior written notice of such transfer;

	(b) as of the date of such transfer, and giving effect thereto, the Transferee Affiliate will not be required to withhold or deduct on account of Tax from any payments under the Agreement or will be required to gross up for such Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement;

	(c) as of the date of such transfer, and giving effect thereto, the Buyer will not be required to gross up for such Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement;

	(d) no Event of Default or Termination Event has occurred and is continuing at the time of the transfer and neither an Event of Default nor a Termination Event will occur as a result of such transfer;

	(e) the obligations of the Transferee Affiliate to the Transaction will be guaranteed by Barclays Bank PLC;

	(f) Buyer will incur no costs or expenses in connection with such transfer; and

If Counterparty is permitted to or required to exercise discretion under the terms of the Note Indenture with respect to any determination, calculation or adjustment relevant to conversion of the Reference Notes including, but not limited to, the volume-weighted average price of the Shares, Counterparty shall consult with GS&Co. with respect thereto.

Net Cash Settlement:		In lieu of the obligations set forth in Section 8.1 of the Equity Definitions, on the Settlement Date Seller shall deliver to Buyer an amount in cash equal to the related Net Cash Settlement Amount.

Net Share Settlement Amount:		For each Conversion Date, the number of Shares equal to the product of (x) the sum of the Daily Share Amounts (as defined in the Note Indenture) multiplied by (y) 100% minus the Cash Percentage (or, if no Cash Percentage is specified, zero) that Buyer is required to deliver for such Conversion Date under the Note Indenture in respect of Reference Notes with an aggregate principal amount equal to the Conversion Amount for such Conversion Date multiplied by the Applicable Portion of the Reference Notes; provided that if an Exercise Notice with respect to such Conversion Date has not been delivered to the Seller prior to the first Trading Day of the Conversion Reference Period applicable to such Conversion Date, the Net Share Settlement Amount for such Conversion Date shall be adjusted by the Calculation Agent to account for the consequences of the reduced number of Trading Days from the delivery of the Exercise Notice to the end of the applicable Conversion Reference Period with respect to such Conversion Date.

If Counterparty is permitted to or required to exercise discretion under the terms of the Note Indenture with respect to any determination, calculation or adjustment relevant to conversion of the Reference Notes including, but not limited to, the volume-weighted average price of the Shares, Counterparty shall consult with GS&Co. with respect thereto.

Amendment Event . If an Amendment Event (as defined below) occurs, GS&Co. shall have the right to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement with respect to the Transaction only and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no payments shall be required hereunder in connection with such Amendment Event.

“ Amendment Event ” means that the Counterparty, without GS&Co.’s consent (which consent shall not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), amends, modifies, supplements or obtains a waiver of (a) any term of the Note Indenture (as in effect prior to such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver) or the Reference Notes affecting the principal amount, coupon, maturity, repurchase obligation of the Counterparty or redemption right of the Counterparty, (b) any term affecting the conversion price, conversion settlement dates or conversion conditions of the Reference Notes or any other term of the Reference Notes that adversely affects GS&Co.’s rights or increases GS&Co.’s obligations under the Transaction or (c) any term that would require consent of the holders of 100% of the principal amount of the Reference Notes to amend;

Staggered Settlement:

2.	the aggregate number of Shares that Seller will deliver to Buyer hereunder on all such Staggered Settlement Dates or delivery times will equal the number of Shares that Seller would otherwise be required to deliver on such Nominal Settlement Date; and

3.	the Net Share Settlement terms will apply on each Staggered Settlement Date, except that the Shares comprising the Net Share Settlement Amount will be allocated among such Staggered Settlement Dates or delivery times as specified by Seller in the notice referred to in clause (1) above.

Disposition of Hedge Shares:

Repurchase Notices:

Counterparty shall, on any day on which Counterparty effects any repurchase of Shares, promptly give Seller a written notice of such repurchase (a “ Repurchase Notice ”) on such day if following such repurchase, the Notice Percentage as determined on such day is (i) greater than 9% and (ii) greater by 0.5% than the Notice Percentage included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice (or, in the case of the first such Repurchase Notice, greater than the Notice Percentage as of the date hereof). In the event that Counterparty fails to provide Seller with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this section, then Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons (Seller and each such person being an “ Indemnified Party ”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject under applicable securities laws, including without limitation, Section 16 of the Exchange Act, relating to or arising out of such failure. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnified Party, then Counterparty shall contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability. In addition, Counterparty will reimburse any Indemnified Party for all reasonable and documented expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) as they are incurred (after notice to Counterparty) in connection with the investigation of, preparation for or defense or settlement of any pending or threatened claim or any action, suit or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto and whether or not such claim, action, suit or proceeding is initiated or brought by or on behalf of Counterparty. This indemnity shall survive the completion of the Transaction contemplated by this Confirmation and any assignment and delegation of the Transaction made pursuant to this Confirmation or the Agreement shall inure to the benefit of any permitted assignee of Seller. Counterparty will not be liable to an Indemnified Party under this provision, whether by indemnity or contribution, to the extent that any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense is found in a final judgment by a court to have resulted from that Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The “ Notice Percentage ” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (i) the numerator of which is the product of (a) the Applicable Portion of the Reference Notes, (b) the sum of the number of outstanding Reference Notes underlying the Confirmation and the number of outstanding Reference Notes underlying any Additional Convertible Note Hedge Transactions between GS&Co. and Counterparty and (c) a number of Shares per Reference Note equal to the Conversion Rate (as defined in the Note Indenture) and (ii) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day.

Conversion Rate Adjustment Notices

In connection with any adjustments to the Conversion Rate under the terms of the Note Indenture, Counterparty shall provide to GS&Co. a copy of the notice of adjustment required to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.08 of the Note Indenture concurrently with filing of such notice with the Trustee.

Compliance with Securities Laws:

Buyer represents and agrees that, in connection with the Transaction and all related or contemporaneous sales and purchases of Shares by Buyer, Buyer has complied and will comply with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), and the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations each thereunder, including, without limitation, Section 9(a) of, and Rules 10b-5 and 13e and Regulation M under, the Exchange Act; provided that Buyer shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any information communicated by GS&Co. concerning GS&Co.’s market activities.

		Each party acknowledges that the offer and sale of the Transaction to it is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof. Accordingly, Buyer represents and warrants to Seller that (i) it has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Transaction and is able to bear a total loss of its investment, (ii) it is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Regulation D as promulgated under the Securities Act and (iii) the disposition of the Transaction is restricted under this Confirmation, the Securities Act and state securities laws.

		Buyer further represents:

		(a) Buyer is not entering into the Transaction to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for Shares);

		(b) Buyer acknowledges that as of the date hereof and without limiting the generality of Section 13.1 of the Equity Definitions, Seller is not making any representations or warranties with respect to the treatment of the Transaction under any accounting standards including ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share , ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging , ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (or any successor issue statements) or under FASB’s Liabilities & Equity Project.

Account Details:		Account for payments to Buyer: To be advised.

		Account for payment to Seller: To be advised.

		Accounts for deliveries of Shares: To be advised.

Bankruptcy Rights:		In the event of Buyer’s bankruptcy, Seller’s rights in connection with the Transaction shall not exceed those rights held by common shareholders. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that Seller’s rights with respect to any other claim arising from the Transaction prior to Buyer’s bankruptcy shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be otherwise abridged or modified in connection herewith.

Netting and Set-Off:		Obligations under the Transaction shall not be netted, recouped or set-off (including pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement) against any other obligations of the parties, whether arising under the Agreement, the Transaction, any other agreement, applicable law or otherwise, and each party hereby waives any such right of set-off, netting or recoupment; provided that both parties agree that subparagraph (ii) of Section 2(c) of the Agreement shall apply to the Transaction.

Collateral:		None.

Transfer:		Buyer shall have the right to assign its rights and delegate its obligations hereunder with respect to any portion of the Transaction, subject to Seller’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that such assignment or transfer shall be subject to receipt by Seller of opinions and documents reasonably satisfactory to Seller and effected on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Seller with respect to any legal and regulatory requirements relevant to the Seller; provided further that Buyer shall not be released from its obligation to deliver any Exercise Notice or its obligations pursuant to “Disposition of Hedge Shares”, “Repurchase Notices” or “Conversion Rate Adjustment Notices” above. Buyer agrees that it shall not be unreasonable for Seller to withhold its consent to any assignment or transfer if Seller determines, based upon the advice of outside counsel, that the assignment or transfer would be inadvisable because it could cause the hedging activities of Seller, or of Buyer’s transferee, related to the transactions contemplated in connection with the issuance of the Reference Notes to fail to comply with applicable securities laws or regulations.

		If at any time at which (1) the Equity Percentage exceeds 9.0% or (2) GS&Co., Goldman Group (as defined below) or any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of GS&Co. or Goldman Group (GS&Co., Goldman Group or any such person, a “ Goldman Person ”) under Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “ DGCL Takeover Statute ”) or any state or federal bank holding company or banking laws, or other federal, state or local regulations or regulatory orders applicable to ownership of Shares (“ Applicable Laws ”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership in excess of a number of Shares equal to (x) the number of Shares that would give rise to reporting or registration obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval by a state or federal regulator) of a Goldman Person under Applicable Laws (including, without limitation, “interested stockholder” or “acquiring person” status under the DGCL Takeover Statute) and with respect to which such requirements have not been met or the relevant approval has not been received minus (y) 1.0% of the number of Shares outstanding on the date of determination (either such condition described in clause (1) or (2), an “ Excess Ownership Position ”) and GS&Co. is unable, after commercially reasonable efforts, to effect a transfer or assignment on pricing terms and within a time period reasonably acceptable to it of all or a portion of the Transaction pursuant to the preceding sentence such that an Excess Ownership Position no longer exists, GS&Co. may designate any Scheduled Trading Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion (the “ Terminated Portion ”) of the Transaction, such that an Excess Ownership Position no longer exists. In the event that GS&Co. so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (x) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Transaction and a Number of Options equal to the Terminated Portion, (y) Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (z) such Transaction shall be the only Terminated Transaction. The “ Equity Percentage ” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that GS&Co. and any of its affiliates subject to aggregation with GS&Co., for purposes of the “beneficial ownership” test under Section 13 of the Exchange Act, and all persons who may form a “group” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act) with GS&Co. (“ Goldman Group ”), beneficially own (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act) on such day and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day.

(c) as of the date of such transfer, and giving effect thereto, the Buyer will not be required to gross up for such Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement;

(d) no Event of Default or Termination Event has occurred and is continuing at the time of the transfer and neither an Event of Default nor a Termination Event will occur as a result of such transfer;

Dear Sir / Madam:

The definitions and provisions contained in the 2006 ISDA Definitions (the “ Swap Definitions ”) and the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “ Equity Definitions ” and, together with the Swap Definitions, the “ Definitions ”), in each case as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc., are incorporated into this Confirmation. In the event of any inconsistency between the Swap Definitions and the Equity Definitions, the Equity Definitions will govern, and in the event of any inconsistency between the Definitions and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will govern. References herein to the “Transaction” shall be deemed to be references to a “Share Option Transaction” for the purposes of the Equity Definitions and to a “Swap Transaction” for the purposes of the Swap Definitions. For purposes of the Transaction, “Warrant Style”, “Warrant Type”, “Number of Warrants” and “Warrant Entitlement” (each as defined below) shall be used herein as if such terms were referred to as “Option Style”, “Option Type”, “Number of Options” and “Option Entitlement”, respectively, in the Definitions.

This Confirmation, together with the Agreement (as defined below), evidences a complete and binding agreement between you and us as to the terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates. This Confirmation, shall be subject to, and form part of, an agreement in the 1992 form of the ISDA Master Agreement (Multicurrency Cross Border) (the “ Master Agreement ” or “ Agreement ”) as if we had executed an agreement in such form (but without any Schedule and with elections specified in the “ISDA Master Agreement” Section of this Confirmation) on the Trade Date. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of that Agreement and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will prevail for the purpose of the Transaction. The parties hereby agree that the Transaction evidenced by this Confirmation shall be the only Transaction subject to and governed by the Agreement.

The terms of the particular Transaction to which this Confirmation relates are as follows:

General Terms:

Trade Date:		May 17, 2011

Effective Date:		May 23, 2011, subject to cancellation of the OTC Warrant Transaction prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such date by the Counterparty. In the event of such cancellation, any payments previously made hereunder, including the Premium, shall be returned to the person making such payment. In addition, Counterparty shall reimburse Barclays for any costs or expenses (including market losses) relating to the unwinding of its hedging activities in connection with the Transaction (including any loss or cost incurred as a result of its terminating, liquidating, obtaining or reestablishing any hedge or related trading position).

Warrant Style:		European

Warrant Type:		Call

Seller:		Counterparty

Buyer:		Barclays

Shares:		Shares of common stock, $0.001 par value, of Counterparty (Security Symbol: “ICON”).

Components:		The Transaction will be divided into individual Components, each with the terms set forth in this Confirmation, and, in particular, with the Daily Number of Warrants and Expiration Date set forth in this Confirmation. The valuation and exercise of the Transaction and the payments and deliveries to be made upon settlement of the Transaction will be determined separately for each Component as if each Component were a separate Transaction under the Agreement.

Number of Warrants:		4,918,181, in the aggregate for the Transaction

Daily Number of Warrants:		For any Expiration Date, the unexercised Number of Warrants on such day divided by the remaining number of Expiration Dates (including such day) and rounded down to the nearest whole number, with the balance of the Number of Warrants exercised on the final Expiration Date.

Warrant Entitlement:		One (1) Share per Warrant

Strike Price:		$40.6175

Premium:		$14,520,000

Premium Payment Date:		The Effective Date; provided no cancellation of the Transaction has occurred prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such date by the Counterparty.

Exchange:		NASDAQ Global Market

Related Exchange(s):		All Exchanges

Full Exchange Business Day:		A Scheduled Trading Day that has a scheduled closing time for its regular trading session at 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) or the then standard closing time for regular trading on the Exchange and is not a Disrupted Day.

Procedures for Exercise:

In respect of any Component

Expiration Time:		11:59 p.m. (New York City time).

Expiration Dates:		The 75 consecutive Full Exchange Business Days beginning on and including September 6, 2016, each shall be the Expiration Date for a number of Warrants equal to the Daily Number of Warrants on such date and shall relate to a separate Component; provided that if not all such 75 consecutive Full Exchange Business Days have occurred as of the Final Disruption Date, the Calculation Agent shall have the right to elect, in its reasonable discretion, that the Final Disruption Date shall be the final Expiration Date (irrespective of whether such date is a Disrupted Day or an Expiration Date in respect of any of the Warrants) and the Settlement Price for the Final Disruption Date shall be determined by the Calculation Agent in a commercially reasonable manner. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary in the Equity Definitions, if a Market Disruption Event occurs on any Scheduled Trading Day otherwise, (i) the Calculation Agent may determine that such day is a Disrupted Day only in part, in which case the Calculation Agent may make adjustments to the Daily Number of Warrants for the relevant Component for which such day shall be the Expiration Date and the Daily Number of Warrants for Expiration Dates that follow such day and (ii) the Settlement Price for such Disrupted Day may be adjusted by the Calculation Agent as appropriate on the basis of the nature and duration of the relevant Market Disruption Event. Any day on which the Exchange is scheduled as of the Trade Date to close prior to its normal closing time shall be considered a Disrupted Day in whole. Section 6.6 of the Equity Definitions shall not apply to any Valuation Date occurring on an Expiration Date.

Final Disruption Date:		The date that immediately follows the scheduled Expiration Date for the final Component by nine Scheduled Trading Days.

Exercise Dates:		Each Expiration Date shall be an Exercise Date for a number of Warrants equal to the Daily Number of Warrants on such date.

Automatic Exercise:		Applicable; provided that Section 3.4(a) of the Equity Definitions shall apply to Cash Settlement and Net Physical Settlement; and provided further that, unless all Warrants have been previously exercised hereunder, a number of Warrants for each Expiration Date equal to the Daily Number of Warrants for such Expiration Date shall be deemed to be automatically exercised.

Market Disruption Event:		Section 6.3(a) of the Equity Definitions shall be amended by deleting the words “at any time during the one hour period that ends at the relevant Valuation Time, Latest Exercise Time, Knock-in Valuation Time or Knock-out Valuation Time, as the case may be” and replacing them with the words “at any time during the regular trading session on the Exchange, without regard to after hours or any other trading outside of the regular trading session hours”, by amending and replacing clause (a)(ii) thereof in its entirety with “(ii) an Exchange Disruption that the Calculation Agent determines is material”, by amending and restating clause (a)(iii) thereof in its entirety to read as follows: “(iii) an Early Closure that the Calculation Agent determines is material” and by adding the words “, or (iv) a Regulatory Disruption” after clause (a)(iii) as restated above. Section 6.3(d) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the remainder of the provision following the term “Scheduled Closing Time” in the fourth line thereof.

Regulatory Disruption:		A “Regulatory Disruption” shall occur if Barclays determines in its reasonable good faith discretion and based on the advice of counsel that it is appropriate in light of legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements or related policies or procedures for Barclays to refrain from all or any part of the market activity in which it would otherwise engage in connection with the Transaction. Barclays will notify Counterparty promptly of any determination that a Regulatory Disruption has occurred.

Disrupted Day:		The definition of “Disrupted Day” in Section 6.4 of the Equity Definitions shall be amended by adding the following sentence after the first sentence: “A Scheduled Trading Day on which a Related Exchange fails to open during its regular trading session will not be a Disrupted Day if the Calculation Agent determines that such failure will not have a material impact on Barclays’ ability to unwind any hedging transactions related to the Transaction.”

Valuation:

In respect of any Component

Valuation Dates:		Each Exercise Date

Settlement Terms:

In respect of any Component

Cash Settlement:		Applicable; provided that it shall be a condition of Counterparty’s right to elect Cash Settlement that Counterparty delivers to Buyer on the date of the Cash Settlement election a representation signed by Counterparty that Counterparty is not aware of, and is not in possession of, any material non-public information regarding itself or the Shares. “Material” information for these purposes is any information to which an investor would reasonably attach importance in reaching a decision to buy, sell or hold the Shares.

Settlement Currency:		USD

Settlement Price:		For each Valuation Date, the volume-weighted average price per Share (“VWAP”) calculated from 9:30 a.m. to 3:50 p.m., as observed under the heading Bloomberg “VWAP” on Bloomberg page “ICON <equity> AQR SEC” (or any successor thereto) (or if such volume-weighted average price is unavailable, the market value of one Share on such Valuation Date, as determined by the Calculation Agent); provided that if the scheduled weekday closing time of the Exchange for any Valuation Date is later than 4:00 p.m. (without regard to after hours or any other trading outside of the regular trading session hours) the VWAP shall be calculated for such Valuation Date from 9:45 a.m. until 15 minutes prior to such later closing time of the Exchange.

Cash Settlement Payment Date:		With respect to each Valuation Date, three (3) Currency Business Days after the final Valuation Date.

Electing Party:		Counterparty

Settlement Method Election Date:		Ten (10) Business Days prior to the Expiration Date for the Component with the earliest scheduled Expiration Date.

Default Settlement Method:		Net Physical Settlement.

Net Physical Settlement:		In the event that the Counterparty elects, or is deemed to elect, to settle the Transaction by Net Physical Settlement, subject to “Conditions to Net Physical Settlement” below, Counterparty shall deliver to Barclays on the Settlement Date a number of Shares (the “ Delivered Shares ”) equal to the Share Delivery Quantity, provided that in the event that the number of Shares calculated comprises any fractional Share, only whole Shares shall be delivered and an amount in cash equal to the value of such fractional share shall be payable by the Counterparty to Barclays in lieu of such fractional Share.

Share Delivery Quantity:		For each Exercise Date, a number of Shares, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the Net Physical Settlement Amount for such Exercise Date divided by the Settlement Price on the Valuation Date in respect of such Settlement Date plus an amount in cash in lieu of any fractional Shares (based on the applicable Settlement Price).

Net Physical Settlement Amount:		For any Exercise Date, an amount equal to the product of (i) the Number of Warrants being exercised on the relevant Exercise Date, (ii) the Strike Price Differential for such Exercise Date and (iii) the Warrant Entitlement.

Strike Price Differential:		For any Valuation Date, (i) if the Settlement Price is greater than the Strike Price, an amount equal to the excess of such Settlement Price over the Strike Price for such Valuation Date or (ii) if such Settlement Price is less than or equal to the Strike Price, zero.

Settlement Date:		Settlement with respect to each Exercise Date shall occur on the third (3rd) Full Exchange Business Day following the final Valuation Date, provided that Barclays shall have the right to request by prior written notice to Counterparty a Settlement Date with respect to any Exercise Date and the related Share Delivery Quantity that is three (3) Full Exchange Business Days following such Exercise Date. Such request shall not unreasonably be denied.

Other Provisions Applicable to Net Physical Settlement:		The provisions of Sections 9.1(c), 9.4 (except that “Settlement Date” shall be as defined above, unless a Settlement Disruption Event prevents delivery of such Shares on that date), 9.8, 9.9, 9.11 (as modified herein) , 9.12 and 10.5 of the Equity Definitions will be applicable, as if “Physical Settlement” applied to the Transaction. Notwithstanding Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions, but subject to “Conditions to Net Physical Settlement” below, the parties acknowledge that any Shares delivered to Barclays may be, upon delivery, subject to restrictions and limitations arising from Counterparty’s status as issuer of the Shares under applicable securities laws as a result of the fact that Counterparty is the issuer of the Shares , and the parties agree that the Representation and Agreement contained in Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions shall be modified by excluding any representations therein relating to restrictions, obligations, limitations or requirements under applicable securities laws that exist as a result of the fact that Counterparty is the issuer of the Shares.

Conditions to Net Physical Settlement:		If, in connection with, or within six months following, delivery of Shares hereunder, Barclays notifies the Counterparty that Barclays has reasonably determined after advice from counsel that there is a considered risk that such Shares are subject to restrictions on transfer in the hands of Barclays pursuant to the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), then Counterparty shall either (i) deliver Shares that are covered by an effective registration statement of Counterparty for immediate resale by Barclays or (ii) agree to deliver additional Shares so that the value of such Shares as determined by the Calculation Agent to reflect an appropriate liquidity discount, equals the value of the number of Shares that would otherwise be deliverable if such Shares were freely tradable upon receipt by Barclays.

		(A) If Counterparty elects to deliver Shares as described in above clause (i), then promptly following such notification from Barclays

		(a) Counterparty shall afford Barclays a reasonable opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation with respect to Counterparty that is customary in scope for underwritten offerings of equity securities that yields a result satisfactory to Barclays;

		(b) Counterparty shall as soon as practicable make available to Barclays an effective registration statement for immediate resale (the “ Registration Statement ”) in form and content reasonably satisfactory to Barclays and Counterparty and filed pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, and such prospectuses as Barclays may reasonably request to comply with the applicable prospectus delivery requirements (the “ Prospectus ”) for the resale by Barclays of such number of Shares as Barclays shall reasonably specify in accordance with this paragraph, such Registration Statement to be effective and Prospectus to be current until the earliest of the date on which (1) all Delivered Shares have been sold by Barclays, (2) Barclays has advised Counterparty that it no longer requires that such Registration Statement be effective, (3) all remaining Delivered Shares could be sold by Barclays without registration pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (the “ Registration Period ”) or (4) Counterparty has provided a legal opinion in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Barclays (with customary assumptions and exceptions) that the Shares issuable upon exercise of these Warrants will be freely tradable under the Securities Act upon delivery to Barclays and not subject to any legend restricting transferability. It is understood that the Registration Statement and Prospectus will cover a number of Shares equal to the aggregate number of Shares (if any) reasonably estimated by Barclays to be potentially deliverable by Counterparty in connection with Net Physical Settlement hereunder (not to exceed the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount) and shall be subject to the same suspension of sales during “blackout dates” as provided in the following paragraph; and

		(c) Counterparty will enter into a registration rights agreement with Barclays in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Barclays and Counterparty, which agreement will contain among other things, customary representations and warranties and indemnification, restrictions on sales during “blackout dates” as provided for in the registration rights agreement (the “ Registration Rights Agreement ”) entered into by Counterparty on or about the date hereof, provide for delivery of comfort letters and opinions of counsel and other rights relating to the registration of a number of Shares equal to the number of Delivered Shares and other Shares deliverable hereunder up to the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount.

		(B) If Counterparty elects to deliver Shares as described in above clause (ii), then promptly following such notification from Barclays

		(a) Counterparty shall afford Barclays and any potential institutional purchaser of any Shares identified by Barclays a reasonable opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation with respect to Counterparty that is customary in scope for private placements of equity securities subject to execution of any customary confidentiality agreements;

		(b) Counterparty shall enter into an agreement (a “ Private Placement Agreement ”) with Barclays on commercially reasonable mutually acceptable terms in connection with the private placement of such Shares by Counterparty to Barclays or an affiliate and the private resale of such shares by Barclays or such affiliate, substantially similar to private placement purchase agreements customary for private placements of equity securities, in form and substance commercially reasonably satisfactory to Barclays and Counterparty, which Private Placement Agreement shall include provisions relating to the indemnification of, and contribution in connection with the liability of, Barclays and its affiliates, shall provide for the payment by Counterparty of all expenses in connection with such resale, including all reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel for Barclays, shall contain representations, warranties and agreements of Counterparty reasonably necessary or advisable to establish and maintain the availability of an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act for such resales, and shall use reasonable best efforts to provide for the delivery of accountants’ “comfort letters” to Barclays or such affiliate with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information contained in or incorporated by reference into the offering memorandum prepared for the resale of such Shares;

		(c) Barclays shall sell the Delivered Shares in a commercially reasonable manner until the amount received by Barclays for the sale of the Shares (the “ Proceeds Amount ”) is equal to the Net Physical Settlement Amount. Any remaining Delivered Shares shall be returned to Counterparty. If the Proceeds Amount is less than the Net Physical Settlement Amount, Counterparty shall promptly deliver upon notice from Barclays additional Shares to Barclays until the U.S. dollar amount from the sale of such Shares by Barclays equals the difference between the Net Physical Settlement Amount and the Proceeds Amount. In no event shall Counterparty be required to deliver to Barclays a number of Shares greater than the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount.

		(C) Notwithstanding the foregoing: (I) if Counterparty has elected to deliver Shares as described in clause (i) above and either (a) Counterparty does not provide for the sale of the Shares under the Registration Statement as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement or (b) some Shares cannot be registered under the Registration Statement due to Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act, then the provisions of sub-paragraph (B) shall apply to the extent Counterparty has not satisfied its obligations hereunder by the delivery of Shares pursuant to sub-paragraph (A). (II) If sub-paragraph (B) is applicable and Counterparty fails to satisfy its obligations under such sub-paragraph (B), then Counterparty may deliver unregistered Shares of equivalent value to the Net Physical Settlement Amount (or, if applicable, the unsatisfied portion thereof). The value of any unregistered Shares so delivered shall be discounted to reflect an appropriate liquidity discount (determined by Barclays in a commercially reasonable manner, taking into account Barclays’ policies and determinations with respect to any transfer restrictions that Barclays deems it advisable to observe in connection with sales of such Shares). (III) If some or all of the Delivered Shares cannot be used to close out stock loans in the shares of Counterparty entered into to establish or maintain short positions by Barclays in connection with the Transaction without a prospectus being required by applicable law to be delivered to such lender, then the value of any such Delivered Shares shall reflect the cost (determined by the Calculation Agent in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner and taking into account the policies and determinations of Barclays with respect to compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements) to Barclays of trading Shares in order to close out its hedge position if any, in all cases for purposes of calculating the Delivered Shares. In no event shall Counterparty be required to top up the delivery in cash.

Limitations on Net Physical Settlement by Counterparty:		Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Agreement to the contrary, the number of Shares that may be delivered at settlement of all Components by Counterparty shall not exceed 7,377,272 Shares at any time (the “ Maximum Deliverable Share Amount ”), as adjusted by Calculation Agent to account for any subdivision, stock-split, stock combination, reclassification or similar dilutive or anti-dilutive event with respect to the Shares.

		Counterparty represents and warrants that the number of Available Shares as of the Trade Date is greater than the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount. Counterparty covenants and agrees that (i) Counterparty shall not take any action of corporate governance or otherwise to reduce the number of Available Shares below the Maximum Deliverable Share and (ii) Counterparty shall use its reasonable efforts to cause the number of Available Shares at all times to be greater than the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount.

Other Provisions:

Additional Agreements:		If Counterparty would be obligated to pay cash to Barclays pursuant to the terms of this Agreement for any reason without having had the right (other than pursuant to this paragraph) to elect to deliver Shares in satisfaction of such payment obligation, then Counterparty may elect to deliver to Barclays a number of Shares (whether registered or unregistered) having a cash value equal to the amount of such payment obligation. Such number of Shares to be delivered shall be the number of Shares, determined by the Calculation Agent, sufficient for Barclays to realize the cash equivalent of such payment obligation from proceeds of the sale of such number of Shares over a reasonable period of time taking into account any applicable discount (determined in a commercially reasonable manner) to reflect any restrictions on transfer as well as the market value of the Shares). Settlement relating to any delivery of Shares pursuant to this paragraph shall occur within a reasonable period of time. The number of Shares delivered pursuant to this paragraph shall not exceed the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount and shall be subject to the provisions under “Early Termination” hereof regarding Proceeds Amount and the provisions set forth in subsection (c) under “Additional Agreements, Representations and Covenants of Counterparty, Etc.” below.

Early Termination:		Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, upon the designation of an Early Termination Date or the occurrence of Cancellation and Payment in whole or in part hereunder, Counterparty’s payment obligation in respect of the Transaction (which shall, in the case of an Early Termination Date be determined in accordance with Second Method and Loss (which shall be determined using commercially reasonable procedures in order to produce a commercially reasonable result)) (the “ Transaction Early Termination Amount ”) may, at the option of Counterparty, be satisfied by the delivery of a number of Shares equal to the Transaction Early Termination Amount divided by the Termination Price (“ Early Termination Stock Settlement ”); provided, however , that Counterparty must notify Barclays of its election of Early Termination Stock Settlement by the close of business on the day that is two Exchange Business Days following the day that the notice designating the Early Termination Date, or notice that an Extraordinary Event has resulted in the cancellation or termination of the Transaction in whole or in part, is effective. “ Termination Price ” means the market value per Share on the Early Termination Date, as determined by the Calculation Agent in a commercially reasonable manner taking into account any applicable discount to reflect any restrictions on transfer.

		A number of Shares calculated as being due in respect of any Early Termination Stock Settlement will be deliverable on the third Clearance System Business Day following the date that notice specifying the number of Shares deliverable is effective; provided that, if Counterparty is delivering Shares as a result of a Merger Event, the Settlement Date for such delivery will be immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger Event and the Shares will be deemed delivered at such time such that Barclays will be a holder of the Shares prior to such effective time. Section 6(d)(i) of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following words after the word “paid” in the fifth line thereof: “or any delivery is to be made, as applicable.”

		On or prior to the Early Termination Date or date on which notice that an Extraordinary Event has resulted in the cancellation or termination of the Transaction in whole or in part is effective, as applicable, if Early Termination Stock Settlement is elected and if so requested by Barclays upon advice of counsel, Counterparty shall (subject to its right to make the election described in the immediately succeeding paragraph) enter into a registration rights agreement with Barclays in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Barclays and Counterparty which agreement will contain among other things, customary representations and warranties and indemnification, restrictions on sales during “blackout dates” as provided for in the Registration Rights Agreement and shall satisfy the conditions contained therein and Counterparty shall file and diligently pursue to effectiveness a Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. If and when such Registration Statement shall have been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, Counterparty shall have made available to Barclays such Prospectuses as Barclays may reasonably request to comply with the applicable prospectus delivery requirements for the resale by Barclays of such number of Shares as Barclays shall specify (or, if greater, the number of Shares that Counterparty shall specify). Such Registration Statement shall be effective and Prospectus shall be current until the earliest of the date on which (i) all Shares delivered by Counterparty in connection with an Early Termination Date have been sold, (ii) Barclays has advised Counterparty that it no longer requires that such Registration Statement be effective or (iii) all remaining Shares could be sold by Barclays without registration pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (the “ Termination Registration Period ”). It is understood that the Registration Statement and Prospectus will cover a number of Shares equal to the number of Shares plus the aggregate number of Shares (if any) reasonably estimated by Barclays to be potentially deliverable by Counterparty in connection with Early Termination Stock Settlement hereunder, but in no event exceeding the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount. On each day during the Termination Registration Period, Counterparty shall represent that each of its filings under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other applicable securities laws that are required to be filed have been filed and that, as of the respective dates thereof and as of the date of this representation, they do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

		If Counterparty elects not to deliver Shares subject to an effective Registration Statement (or if some or all of the Shares delivered cannot be used to close out stock loans in the shares of Counterparty entered into to establish or maintain short positions by Barclays in connection with the Transaction without a prospectus being required by applicable law to be delivered to such lender), the provisions of sub-paragraphs (B) and (C) set forth above under “Conditions to Net Physical Settlement” shall apply, mutatis mutandis, as if the Net Physical Settlement Amount were the Transaction Early Termination Amount. In no event shall Counterparty be required to deliver to Barclays a number of Shares greater than the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount.

Compliance With Securities Laws:		Counterparty represents and agrees that it has complied, and will comply, in connection with the Transaction and all related or contemporaneous sales and purchases of Shares, with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, including, without limitation, Rule 10b-5 and 13e and Regulation M under the Exchange Act.

		Each party acknowledges that the offer and sale of the Transaction to it is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof. Accordingly, each party represents and warrants to the other party that (i) it has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Transaction and is able to bear a total loss of its investment, (ii) it is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Regulation D as promulgated under the Securities Act and (iii) the disposition of the Transaction is restricted under this Confirmation, the Securities Act and state securities laws.

		Counterparty further represents and warrants that:

		(a) Counterparty is not entering into the Transaction to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for Shares);

		(b) Counterparty represents and acknowledges that as of the date hereof and without limiting the generality of Section 13.1 of the Equity Definitions, Barclays is not making any representations or warranties with respect to the treatment of the Transaction under any accounting standards including ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share , ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging , ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (or any successor issue statements) or under FASB’s Liabilities & Equity Project;

		(c) Counterparty is not, and after giving effect to the Transaction contemplated hereby, will not be, an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended;

		(d) As of the Trade Date and each date on which a payment or delivery is made by Counterparty hereunder, (i) the assets of Counterparty at their fair valuation exceed the liabilities of Counterparty, including contingent liabilities; (ii) the capital of Counterparty is adequate to conduct its business; and (iii) Counterparty has the ability to pay its debts and other obligations as such obligations mature and does not intend to, or believe that it will, incur debt or other obligations beyond its ability to pay as such obligations mature.

If any delivery owed to Barclays hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of an Ownership Limitation, Barclays’ right to receive such delivery shall not be extinguished and Issuer shall make such delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than one Exchange Business Day after, Barclays gives notice to Issuer that such delivery would not result in any of such Ownership Limitations being breached.

“ Barclays’ Beneficial Ownership ” means the “beneficial ownership” (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder (collectively, “ Section 13 ”)) of Shares, without duplication, by Barclays, together with any of its affiliates or other person subject to aggregation with Barclays under Section 13 for purposes of “beneficial ownership”, or by any “group” (within the meaning of Section 13) of which Barclays is or may be deemed to be a part (Barclays and any such affiliates, persons and groups, collectively, “ Barclays Group ”) (or, to the extent that, as a result of a change in law, regulation or interpretation after the date hereof, the equivalent calculation under Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder results in a higher number, such number).

Without limiting the generality of the definition of any Extraordinary Event hereunder, the occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an Additional Termination Event with respect to which the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and Issuer shall be the sole Affected Party; provided that with respect to any Additional Termination Event, Barclays may choose to treat part of the Transaction as the sole Affected Transaction, and, upon the termination of the Affected Transaction, a Transaction with terms identical to those set forth herein except with a Number of Warrants equal to the unaffected number of Warrants shall be treated for all purposes as the Transaction, which shall remain in full force and effect:

(i) within the period commencing on the Trade Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Premium Payment Date, Buyer reasonably determines that it is advisable to terminate a portion of the Transaction so that Buyer’s related hedging activities will comply with applicable securities laws, rules or regulations;

(ii) the sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Issuer and its subsidiaries taken as a whole to another person other than to one or more of the Issuer’s wholly-owned subsidiaries;

(iii) the adoption of a plan relating to the liquidation or dissolution of the Issuer;

(iv) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any person becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the voting stock of the Issuer (measured by voting power rather than the number of Shares), except that a person shall be deemed to have “beneficial ownership” of all securities that such person has the right to acquire, whether such right is currently exercisable or is exercisable only upon the occurrence of a subsequent condition;

(v) the first day on which a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Issuer are not continuing directors; or

(vi) the Issuer consolidates with, or merges with or into, any person, or any person consolidates with, or merges with or into, the Issuer, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of the voting stock of the Issuer is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property; provided, however that a transaction as a result of which the holders of the voting stock of the Issuer immediately prior to such transaction will own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of all voting stock of the continuing or surviving corporation or limited liability company or transferee or a direct or indirect parent thereof immediately after such transaction shall not constitute an Additional Termination Event.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, an event described in clauses (ii) through (v) above will not constitute an Additional Termination Event if 90% of the consideration for the Shares (excluding cash payments for fractional shares and cash payments made in respect of dissenters’ appraisal rights) in the transaction or transactions otherwise constituting an Additional Termination Event consists of shares of common stock or American Depositary Shares representing shares of common stock, traded on a U.S. national securities exchange, or which will be so traded or quoted when issued or exchanged in connection with such event; provided that, with respect to an entity organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, such entity has a worldwide total market capitalization of its equity securities of at least three times the market capitalization of the Issuer before giving effect to the consolidation or merger.

For purposes of the foregoing, “ beneficial ownership ” shall be determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act. The term “ person ” includes any syndicate or group which would be deemed to be a “person” under Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act. The term “ continuing director ” means, as of any date of determination, any member of the board of directors of the Issuer who (i) was a member of such board of directors on the date hereof or (ii) was nominated for election or elected to such board of directors with the approval of a majority of the continuing directors who were members of such board of directors at the time of such nomination or election. The term “ voting stock ” of a person means all shares of capital stock of such person entitled to vote in elections of the board of directors, managers or trustees of such person.

The “ Automatic Early Termination ” provision of Section 6(a) of the Agreement will not apply to Barclays or to Counterparty.

“ Termination Currency ” means USD.

Dear Sir / Madam:

The definitions and provisions contained in the 2006 ISDA Definitions (the “ Swap Definitions ”) and the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “ Equity Definitions ” and, together with the Swap Definitions, the “ Definitions ”), in each case as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc., are incorporated into this Confirmation. In the event of any inconsistency between the Swap Definitions and the Equity Definitions, the Equity Definitions will govern, and in the event of any inconsistency between the Definitions and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will govern. References herein to the “Transaction” shall be deemed to be references to a “Share Option Transaction” for the purposes of the Equity Definitions and to a “Swap Transaction” for the purposes of the Swap Definitions. For purposes of the Transaction, “Warrant Style”, “Warrant Type”, “Number of Warrants” and “Warrant Entitlement” (each as defined below) shall be used herein as if such terms were referred to as “Option Style”, “Option Type”, “Number of Options” and “Option Entitlement”, respectively, in the Definitions.

The terms of the particular Transaction to which this Confirmation relates are as follows:

General Terms:

Trade Date:	May 17, 2011

Effective Date:	May 23, 2011, subject to cancellation of the OTC Warrant Transaction prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such date by the Counterparty. In the event of such cancellation, any payments previously made hereunder, including the Premium, shall be returned to the person making such payment. In addition, Counterparty shall reimburse GS&Co. for any costs or expenses (including market losses) relating to the unwinding of its hedging activities in connection with the Transaction (including any loss or cost incurred as a result of its terminating, liquidating, obtaining or reestablishing any hedge or related trading position).

Warrant Style:	European

Warrant Type:	Call

Seller:	Counterparty

Buyer:	GS&Co.

Shares:	Shares of common stock, $0.001 par value, of Counterparty (Security Symbol: “ICON”).

The valuation and exercise of the Transaction and the payments and deliveries to be made upon settlement of the Transaction will be determined separately for each Component as if each Component were a separate Transaction under the Agreement.

Number of Warrants:	4,023,966, in the aggregate for the Transaction

Daily Number of Warrants:	For any Expiration Date, the unexercised Number of Warrants on such day divided by the remaining number of Expiration Dates (including such day) and rounded down to the nearest whole number, with the balance of the Number of Warrants exercised on the final Expiration Date.

Warrant Entitlement:	One (1) Share per Warrant

Strike Price:	$40.6175

Premium:	$11,880,000

Premium Payment Date:	The Effective Date; provided no cancellation of the Transaction has occurred prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such date by the Counterparty.

Exchange:	NASDAQ Global Market

Related Exchange(s):	All Exchanges

Full Exchange Business Day:	A Scheduled Trading Day that has a scheduled closing time for its regular trading session at 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) or the then standard closing time for regular trading on the Exchange and is not a Disrupted Day.

In respect of any Component

Expiration Time:	11:59 p.m. (New York City time).

Expiration Dates:	The 75 consecutive Full Exchange Business Days beginning on and including September 6, 2016, each shall be the Expiration Date for a number of Warrants equal to the Daily Number of Warrants on such date and shall relate to a separate Component; provided that if not all such 75 consecutive Full Exchange Business Days have occurred as of the Final Disruption Date, the Calculation Agent shall have the right to elect, in its reasonable discretion, that the Final Disruption Date shall be the final Expiration Date (irrespective of whether such date is a Disrupted Day or an Expiration Date in respect of any of the Warrants) and the Settlement Price for the Final Disruption Date shall be determined by the Calculation Agent in a commercially reasonable manner. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary in the Equity Definitions, if a Market Disruption Event occurs on any Scheduled Trading Day otherwise, (i) the Calculation Agent may determine that such day is a Disrupted Day only in part, in which case the Calculation Agent may make adjustments to the Daily Number of Warrants for the relevant Component for which such day shall be the Expiration Date and the Daily Number of Warrants for Expiration Dates that follow such day and (ii) the Settlement Price for such Disrupted Day may be adjusted by the Calculation Agent as appropriate on the basis of the nature and duration of the relevant Market Disruption Event. Any day on which the Exchange is scheduled as of the Trade Date to close prior to its normal closing time shall be considered a Disrupted Day in whole. Section 6.6 of the Equity Definitions shall not apply to any Valuation Date occurring on an Expiration Date.

Final Disruption Date:	The date that immediately follows the scheduled Expiration Date for the final Component by nine Scheduled Trading Days.

Exercise Dates:	Each Expiration Date shall be an Exercise Date for a number of Warrants equal to the Daily Number of Warrants on such date.

Automatic Exercise:	Applicable; provided that Section 3.4(a) of the Equity Definitions shall apply to Cash Settlement and Net Physical Settlement; and provided further that, unless all Warrants have been previously exercised hereunder, a number of Warrants for each Expiration Date equal to the Daily Number of Warrants for such Expiration Date shall be deemed to be automatically exercised.

Market Disruption Event:	Section 6.3(a) of the Equity Definitions shall be amended by deleting the words “at any time during the one hour period that ends at the relevant Valuation Time, Latest Exercise Time, Knock-in Valuation Time or Knock-out Valuation Time, as the case may be” and replacing them with the words “at any time during the regular trading session on the Exchange, without regard to after hours or any other trading outside of the regular trading session hours”, by amending and replacing clause (a)(ii) thereof in its entirety with “(ii) an Exchange Disruption that the Calculation Agent determines is material”, by amending and restating clause (a)(iii) thereof in its entirety to read as follows: “(iii) an Early Closure that the Calculation Agent determines is material” and by adding the words “, or (iv) a Regulatory Disruption” after clause (a)(iii) as restated above. Section 6.3(d) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the remainder of the provision following the term “Scheduled Closing Time” in the fourth line thereof.

Regulatory Disruption:	A “Regulatory Disruption” shall occur if GS&Co. determines in its reasonable good faith discretion and based on the advice of counsel that it is appropriate in light of legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements or related policies or procedures for GS&Co. to refrain from all or any part of the market activity in which it would otherwise engage in connection with the Transaction. GS&Co. will notify Counterparty promptly of any determination that a Regulatory Disruption has occurred.

Disrupted Day:	The definition of “Disrupted Day” in Section 6.4 of the Equity Definitions shall be amended by adding the following sentence after the first sentence: “A Scheduled Trading Day on which a Related Exchange fails to open during its regular trading session will not be a Disrupted Day if the Calculation Agent determines that such failure will not have a material impact on GS&Co.’s ability to unwind any hedging transactions related to the Transaction.”

In respect of any Component

Settlement Terms:

In respect of any Component

Settlement Currency:	USD

Settlement Price:	For each Valuation Date, the volume-weighted average price per Share (“VWAP”) calculated from 9:30 a.m. to 3:50 p.m., as observed under the heading Bloomberg “VWAP” on Bloomberg page “ICON <equity> AQR SEC” (or any successor thereto) (or if such volume-weighted average price is unavailable, the market value of one Share on such Valuation Date, as determined by the Calculation Agent); provided that if the scheduled weekday closing time of the Exchange for any Valuation Date is later than 4:00 p.m. (without regard to after hours or any other trading outside of the regular trading session hours) the VWAP shall be calculated for such Valuation Date from 9:45 a.m. until 15 minutes prior to such later closing time of the Exchange.

Settlement Method Election Date:	Ten (10) Business Days prior to the Expiration Date for the Component with the earliest scheduled Expiration Date.

Default Settlement Method:	Net Physical Settlement.

Net Physical Settlement:	In the event that the Counterparty elects, or is deemed to elect, to settle the Transaction by Net Physical Settlement, subject to “Conditions to Net Physical Settlement” below, Counterparty shall deliver to GS&Co. on the Settlement Date a number of Shares (the “ Delivered Shares ”) equal to the Share Delivery Quantity, provided that in the event that the number of Shares calculated comprises any fractional Share, only whole Shares shall be delivered and an amount in cash equal to the value of such fractional share shall be payable by the Counterparty to GS&Co. in lieu of such fractional Share.

Share Delivery Quantity:	For each Exercise Date, a number of Shares, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the Net Physical Settlement Amount for such Exercise Date divided by the Settlement Price on the Valuation Date in respect of such Settlement Date plus an amount in cash in lieu of any fractional Shares (based on the applicable Settlement Price).

Net Physical Settlement Amount:	For any Exercise Date, an amount equal to the product of (i) the Number of Warrants being exercised on the relevant Exercise Date, (ii) the Strike Price Differential for such Exercise Date and (iii) the Warrant Entitlement.

Settlement Date:	Settlement with respect to each Exercise Date shall occur on the third (3rd) Full Exchange Business Day following the final Valuation Date, provided that GS&Co. shall have the right to request by prior written notice to Counterparty a Settlement Date with respect to any Exercise Date and the related Share Delivery Quantity that is three (3) Full Exchange Business Days following such Exercise Date. Such request shall not unreasonably be denied.

Other Provisions Applicable to Net Physical Settlement:	The provisions of Sections 9.1(c), 9.4 (except that “Settlement Date” shall be as defined above, unless a Settlement Disruption Event prevents delivery of such Shares on that date), 9.8, 9.9, 9.11 (as modified herein) , 9.12 and 10.5 of the Equity Definitions will be applicable, as if “Physical Settlement” applied to the Transaction. Notwithstanding Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions, but subject to “Conditions to Net Physical Settlement” below, the parties acknowledge that any Shares delivered to GS&Co. may be, upon delivery, subject to restrictions and limitations arising from Counterparty’s status as issuer of the Shares under applicable securities laws as a result of the fact that Counterparty is the issuer of the Shares , and the parties agree that the Representation and Agreement contained in Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions shall be modified by excluding any representations therein relating to restrictions, obligations, limitations or requirements under applicable securities laws that exist as a result of the fact that Counterparty is the issuer of the Shares.

Conditions to Net Physical Settlement:	If, in connection with, or within six months following, delivery of Shares hereunder, GS&Co. notifies the Counterparty that GS&Co. has reasonably determined after advice from counsel that there is a considered risk that such Shares are subject to restrictions on transfer in the hands of GS&Co. pursuant to the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), then Counterparty shall either (i) deliver Shares that are covered by an effective registration statement of Counterparty for immediate resale by GS&Co. or (ii) agree to deliver additional Shares so that the value of such Shares as determined by the Calculation Agent to reflect an appropriate liquidity discount, equals the value of the number of Shares that would otherwise be deliverable if such Shares were freely tradable upon receipt by GS&Co.

	(A) If Counterparty elects to deliver Shares as described in above clause (i), then promptly following such notification from GS&Co.

	(a) Counterparty shall afford GS&Co. a reasonable opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation with respect to Counterparty that is customary in scope for underwritten offerings of equity securities that yields a result satisfactory to GS&Co.;

	(b) Counterparty shall as soon as practicable make available to GS&Co. an effective registration statement for immediate resale (the “ Registration Statement ”) in form and content reasonably satisfactory to GS&Co. and Counterparty and filed pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, and such prospectuses as GS&Co. may reasonably request to comply with the applicable prospectus delivery requirements (the “ Prospectus ”) for the resale by GS&Co. of such number of Shares as GS&Co. shall reasonably specify in accordance with this paragraph, such Registration Statement to be effective and Prospectus to be current until the earliest of the date on which (1) all Delivered Shares have been sold by GS&Co., (2) GS&Co. has advised Counterparty that it no longer requires that such Registration Statement be effective, (3) all remaining Delivered Shares could be sold by GS&Co. without registration pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (the “ Registration Period ”) or (4) Counterparty has provided a legal opinion in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to GS&Co. (with customary assumptions and exceptions) that the Shares issuable upon exercise of these Warrants will be freely tradable under the Securities Act upon delivery to GS&Co. and not subject to any legend restricting transferability. It is understood that the Registration Statement and Prospectus will cover a number of Shares equal to the aggregate number of Shares (if any) reasonably estimated by GS&Co. to be potentially deliverable by Counterparty in connection with Net Physical Settlement hereunder (not to exceed the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount) and shall be subject to the same suspension of sales during “blackout dates” as provided in the following paragraph; and

	(c) Counterparty will enter into a registration rights agreement with GS&Co. in form and substance reasonably acceptable to GS&Co. and Counterparty, which agreement will contain among other things, customary representations and warranties and indemnification, restrictions on sales during “blackout dates” as provided for in the registration rights agreement (the “ Registration Rights Agreement ”) entered into by Counterparty on or about the date hereof, provide for delivery of comfort letters and opinions of counsel and other rights relating to the registration of a number of Shares equal to the number of Delivered Shares and other Shares deliverable hereunder up to the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount.

	(B) If Counterparty elects to deliver Shares as described in above clause (ii), then promptly following such notification from GS&Co.

	(a) Counterparty shall afford GS&Co. and any potential institutional purchaser of any Shares identified by GS&Co. a reasonable opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation with respect to Counterparty that is customary in scope for private placements of equity securities subject to execution of any customary confidentiality agreements;

	(b) Counterparty shall enter into an agreement (a “ Private Placement Agreement ”) with GS&Co. on commercially reasonable mutually acceptable terms in connection with the private placement of such Shares by Counterparty to GS&Co. or an affiliate and the private resale of such shares by GS&Co. or such affiliate, substantially similar to private placement purchase agreements customary for private placements of equity securities, in form and substance commercially reasonably satisfactory to GS&Co. and Counterparty, which Private Placement Agreement shall include provisions relating to the indemnification of, and contribution in connection with the liability of, GS&Co. and its affiliates, shall provide for the payment by Counterparty of all expenses in connection with such resale, including all reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel for GS&Co., shall contain representations, warranties and agreements of Counterparty reasonably necessary or advisable to establish and maintain the availability of an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act for such resales, and shall use reasonable best efforts to provide for the delivery of accountants’ “comfort letters” to GS&Co. or such affiliate with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information contained in or incorporated by reference into the offering memorandum prepared for the resale of such Shares;

	(c) GS&Co. shall sell the Delivered Shares in a commercially reasonable manner until the amount received by GS&Co. for the sale of the Shares (the “ Proceeds Amount ”) is equal to the Net Physical Settlement Amount. Any remaining Delivered Shares shall be returned to Counterparty. If the Proceeds Amount is less than the Net Physical Settlement Amount, Counterparty shall promptly deliver upon notice from GS&Co. additional Shares to GS&Co. until the U.S. dollar amount from the sale of such Shares by GS&Co. equals the difference between the Net Physical Settlement Amount and the Proceeds Amount. In no event shall Counterparty be required to deliver to GS&Co. a number of Shares greater than the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount.

	(C) Notwithstanding the foregoing: (I) if Counterparty has elected to deliver Shares as described in clause (i) above and either (a) Counterparty does not provide for the sale of the Shares under the Registration Statement as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement or (b) some Shares cannot be registered under the Registration Statement due to Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act, then the provisions of sub-paragraph (B) shall apply to the extent Counterparty has not satisfied its obligations hereunder by the delivery of Shares pursuant to sub-paragraph (A). (II) If sub-paragraph (B) is applicable and Counterparty fails to satisfy its obligations under such sub-paragraph (B), then Counterparty may deliver unregistered Shares of equivalent value to the Net Physical Settlement Amount (or, if applicable, the unsatisfied portion thereof). The value of any unregistered Shares so delivered shall be discounted to reflect an appropriate liquidity discount (determined by GS&Co. in a commercially reasonable manner, taking into account GS&Co.’s policies and determinations with respect to any transfer restrictions that GS&Co. deems it advisable to observe in connection with sales of such Shares). (III) If some or all of the Delivered Shares cannot be used to close out stock loans in the shares of Counterparty entered into to establish or maintain short positions by GS&Co. in connection with the Transaction without a prospectus being required by applicable law to be delivered to such lender, then the value of any such Delivered Shares shall reflect the cost (determined by the Calculation Agent in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner and taking into account the policies and determinations of GS&Co. with respect to compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements) to GS&Co. of trading Shares in order to close out its hedge position if any, in all cases for purposes of calculating the Delivered Shares. In no event shall Counterparty be required to top up the delivery in cash.

Limitations on Net Physical Settlement by Counterparty:	Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Agreement to the contrary, the number of Shares that may be delivered at settlement of all Components by Counterparty shall not exceed 6,035,949 Shares at any time (the “ Maximum Deliverable Share Amount ”), as adjusted by Calculation Agent to account for any subdivision, stock-split, stock combination, reclassification or similar dilutive or anti-dilutive event with respect to the Shares.

	Counterparty represents and warrants that the number of Available Shares as of the Trade Date is greater than the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount. Counterparty covenants and agrees that (i) Counterparty shall not take any action of corporate governance or otherwise to reduce the number of Available Shares below the Maximum Deliverable Share and (ii) Counterparty shall use its reasonable efforts to cause the number of Available Shares at all times to be greater than the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount.

Other Provisions:

Additional Agreements:	If Counterparty would be obligated to pay cash to GS&Co. pursuant to the terms of this Agreement for any reason without having had the right (other than pursuant to this paragraph) to elect to deliver Shares in satisfaction of such payment obligation, then Counterparty may elect to deliver to GS&Co. a number of Shares (whether registered or unregistered) having a cash value equal to the amount of such payment obligation. Such number of Shares to be delivered shall be the number of Shares, determined by the Calculation Agent, sufficient for GS&Co. to realize the cash equivalent of such payment obligation from proceeds of the sale of such number of Shares over a reasonable period of time taking into account any applicable discount (determined in a commercially reasonable manner) to reflect any restrictions on transfer as well as the market value of the Shares). Settlement relating to any delivery of Shares pursuant to this paragraph shall occur within a reasonable period of time. The number of Shares delivered pursuant to this paragraph shall not exceed the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount and shall be subject to the provisions under “Early Termination” hereof regarding Proceeds Amount and the provisions set forth in subsection (c) under “Additional Agreements, Representations and Covenants of Counterparty, Etc.” below.

Early Termination:	Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, upon the designation of an Early Termination Date or the occurrence of Cancellation and Payment in whole or in part hereunder, Counterparty’s payment obligation in respect of the Transaction (which shall, in the case of an Early Termination Date be determined in accordance with Second Method and Loss (which shall be determined using commercially reasonable procedures in order to produce a commercially reasonable result)) (the “ Transaction Early Termination Amount ”) may, at the option of Counterparty, be satisfied by the delivery of a number of Shares equal to the Transaction Early Termination Amount divided by the Termination Price (“ Early Termination Stock Settlement ”); provided, however , that Counterparty must notify GS&Co. of its election of Early Termination Stock Settlement by the close of business on the day that is two Exchange Business Days following the day that the notice designating the Early Termination Date, or notice that an Extraordinary Event has resulted in the cancellation or termination of the Transaction in whole or in part, is effective. “ Termination Price ” means the market value per Share on the Early Termination Date, as determined by the Calculation Agent in a commercially reasonable manner taking into account any applicable discount to reflect any restrictions on transfer.

	A number of Shares calculated as being due in respect of any Early Termination Stock Settlement will be deliverable on the third Clearance System Business Day following the date that notice specifying the number of Shares deliverable is effective; provided that, if Counterparty is delivering Shares as a result of a Merger Event, the Settlement Date for such delivery will be immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger Event and the Shares will be deemed delivered at such time such that GS&Co. will be a holder of the Shares prior to such effective time. Section 6(d)(i) of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following words after the word “paid” in the fifth line thereof: “or any delivery is to be made, as applicable.”

	On or prior to the Early Termination Date or date on which notice that an Extraordinary Event has resulted in the cancellation or termination of the Transaction in whole or in part is effective, as applicable, if Early Termination Stock Settlement is elected and if so requested by GS&Co. upon advice of counsel, Counterparty shall (subject to its right to make the election described in the immediately succeeding paragraph) enter into a registration rights agreement with GS&Co. in form and substance reasonably acceptable to GS&Co. and Counterparty which agreement will contain among other things, customary representations and warranties and indemnification, restrictions on sales during “blackout dates” as provided for in the Registration Rights Agreement and shall satisfy the conditions contained therein and Counterparty shall file and diligently pursue to effectiveness a Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. If and when such Registration Statement shall have been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, Counterparty shall have made available to GS&Co. such Prospectuses as GS&Co. may reasonably request to comply with the applicable prospectus delivery requirements for the resale by GS&Co. of such number of Shares as GS&Co. shall specify (or, if greater, the number of Shares that Counterparty shall specify). Such Registration Statement shall be effective and Prospectus shall be current until the earliest of the date on which (i) all Shares delivered by Counterparty in connection with an Early Termination Date have been sold, (ii) GS&Co. has advised Counterparty that it no longer requires that such Registration Statement be effective or (iii) all remaining Shares could be sold by GS&Co. without registration pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (the “ Termination Registration Period ”). It is understood that the Registration Statement and Prospectus will cover a number of Shares equal to the number of Shares plus the aggregate number of Shares (if any) reasonably estimated by GS&Co. to be potentially deliverable by Counterparty in connection with Early Termination Stock Settlement hereunder, but in no event exceeding the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount. On each day during the Termination Registration Period, Counterparty shall represent that each of its filings under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other applicable securities laws that are required to be filed have been filed and that, as of the respective dates thereof and as of the date of this representation, they do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

	If Counterparty elects not to deliver Shares subject to an effective Registration Statement (or if some or all of the Shares delivered cannot be used to close out stock loans in the shares of Counterparty entered into to establish or maintain short positions by GS&Co. in connection with the Transaction without a prospectus being required by applicable law to be delivered to such lender), the provisions of sub-paragraphs (B) and (C) set forth above under “Conditions to Net Physical Settlement” shall apply, mutatis mutandis, as if the Net Physical Settlement Amount were the Transaction Early Termination Amount. In no event shall Counterparty be required to deliver to GS&Co. a number of Shares greater than the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount.

Compliance With Securities Laws:	Counterparty represents and agrees that it has complied, and will comply, in connection with the Transaction and all related or contemporaneous sales and purchases of Shares, with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, including, without limitation, Rule 10b-5 and 13e and Regulation M under the Exchange Act.

	Each party acknowledges that the offer and sale of the Transaction to it is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof. Accordingly, each party represents and warrants to the other party that (i) it has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Transaction and is able to bear a total loss of its investment, (ii) it is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Regulation D as promulgated under the Securities Act and (iii) the disposition of the Transaction is restricted under this Confirmation, the Securities Act and state securities laws.

	Counterparty further represents and warrants that:

	(a) Counterparty is not entering into the Transaction to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for Shares);

	(b) Counterparty represents and acknowledges that as of the date hereof and without limiting the generality of Section 13.1 of the Equity Definitions, GS&Co. is not making any representations or warranties with respect to the treatment of the Transaction under any accounting standards including ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share , ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging , ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (or any successor issue statements) or under FASB’s Liabilities & Equity Project;

	(c) Counterparty is not, and after giving effect to the Transaction contemplated hereby, will not be, an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended;

	(d) As of the Trade Date and each date on which a payment or delivery is made by Counterparty hereunder, (i) the assets of Counterparty at their fair valuation exceed the liabilities of Counterparty, including contingent liabilities; (ii) the capital of Counterparty is adequate to conduct its business; and (iii) Counterparty has the ability to pay its debts and other obligations as such obligations mature and does not intend to, or believe that it will, incur debt or other obligations beyond its ability to pay as such obligations mature.

If any delivery owed to GS&Co. hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of an Ownership Limitation, GS&Co.’s right to receive such delivery shall not be extinguished and Issuer shall make such delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than one Exchange Business Day after, GS&Co. gives notice to Issuer that such delivery would not result in any of such Ownership Limitations being breached.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing GS&Co. to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to or from Counterparty, GS&Co. may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities and otherwise to perform GS&Co.’s obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations.

Settlement Terms:

Settlement Method Election:	Net Share Settlement or Net Cash Settlement consistent with Buyer’s election with respect to the Reference Notes converted on the applicable Conversion Date; provided that Net Share Settlement shall apply in the event that Buyer does not elect to specify a Cash Percentage in connection with the applicable Conversion Date or if the second proviso under “Exercise Notice” above applies; and provided further that it shall be a condition for Buyer’s right to elect Net Cash Settlement or settlement pursuant to clause (ii) of Net Share Settlement that Buyer delivers to Seller with the related Exercise Notice a representation signed by Buyer that Buyer has publicly disclosed all material information necessary for Buyer to be able to purchase or sell Shares in compliance with applicable federal securities laws.

Electing Party:	Buyer

Settlement Date:	Subject to the delivery of an Exercise Notice and, if applicable, a Supplemental Exercise Notice to the Seller, the third (3rd) Exchange Business Day following the final Trading Day in the applicable Conversion Reference Period in respect of the relevant Conversion Date.

Net Share Settlement:	In lieu of the obligations set forth in Sections 8.1 and 9.1 of the Equity Definitions, Seller shall deliver to Buyer on the related Settlement Date (i) a number of Shares equal to the related Net Share Settlement Amount, provided that in the event that the number of Shares calculated comprises any fractional Share, only whole Shares shall be delivered and an amount equal to the value of such fractional Share shall be payable by Seller to Buyer in cash, and (ii) (x) an amount in cash equal to the sum of the Daily Net Cash Portion (as defined in the Note Indenture) for each day of the Conversion Reference Period that Buyer is required to pay under the Note Indenture in respect of Reference Notes with an aggregate principal amount equal to the Conversion Amount for such Conversion Date multiplied by (y) the Applicable Portion of the Reference Notes, provided that the delivery obligation set forth in clause (i) and (ii) of this paragraph shall be determined excluding any Shares or cash that Counterparty is obligated to deliver to holders of the applicable Reference Notes as a result of any discretionary adjustments to the Conversion Rate (as defined in the Note Indenture) by Counterparty pursuant to Section 5.06(a)(10) of the Note Indenture. If Counterparty is permitted to or required to exercise discretion under the terms of the Note Indenture with respect to any determination, calculation or adjustment relevant to conversion of the Reference Notes including, but not limited to, the volume-weighted average price of the Shares, Counterparty shall consult with Barclays with respect thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, Counterparty shall not be obligated to comply with any requests, letters or communications from Barclays in respect thereof and shall have the right to make any such determinations, calculations or adjustments in its sole discretion. The provisions of Sections 9.1(c), 9.4 (except that “Settlement Date” shall be as defined above, unless a Settlement Disruption Event prevents delivery of such Shares on that date), 9.8, 9.9, 9.10, 9.11 and 9.12 of the Equity Definitions shall apply to any delivery of Shares hereunder, provided that the Representation and Agreement in Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions shall be modified by excluding any representations therein relating to restrictions, obligations, limitations or requirements under applicable securities laws as a result of the fact that Buyer is the issuer of the Shares.

Net Cash Settlement:	In lieu of the obligations set forth in Section 8.1 of the Equity Definitions, on the Settlement Date Seller shall deliver to Buyer an amount in cash equal to the related Net Cash Settlement Amount.

Net Share Settlement Amount:	For each Conversion Date, the number of Shares equal to the product of (x) the sum of the Daily Share Amounts (as defined in the Note Indenture) multiplied by (y) 100% minus the Cash Percentage (or, if no Cash Percentage is specified, zero) that Buyer is required to deliver for such Conversion Date under the Note Indenture in respect of Reference Notes with an aggregate principal amount equal to the Conversion Amount for such Conversion Date multiplied by the Applicable Portion of the Reference Notes; provided that if an Exercise Notice with respect to such Conversion Date has not been delivered to the Seller prior to the first Trading Day of the Conversion Reference Period applicable to such Conversion Date, the Net Share Settlement Amount for such Conversion Date shall be adjusted by the Calculation Agent to account for the consequences of the reduced number of Trading Days from the delivery of the Exercise Notice to the end of the applicable Conversion Reference Period with respect to such Conversion Date. No reduction of the Net Share Settlement Amount shall reduce the Net Share Settlement Amount below zero.

Net Cash Settlement Amount:	For each Conversion Date, an amount equal to the sum of the Daily Net Cash Portion (as defined in the Note Indenture) for each day of the Conversion Reference Period that Buyer is required to pay under the Note Indenture in respect of Reference Notes with an aggregate principal amount equal to the Conversion Amount for such Conversion Date multiplied by the Applicable Portion of the Reference Notes; provided that such cash amount shall be determined excluding any cash that Counterparty is obligated to deliver to holders of the applicable Reference Notes as a result of any adjustments to the Conversion Rate described in the second proviso under “Net Share Settlement” above. If Counterparty is permitted to or required to exercise discretion under the terms of the Note Indenture with respect to any determination, calculation or adjustment relevant to conversion of the Reference Notes including, but not limited to, the volume-weighted average price of the Shares, Counterparty shall consult with Barclays with respect thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, Counterparty shall not be obligated to comply with any requests, letters or communications from Barclays in respect thereof and shall have the right to make any such determinations, calculations or adjustments in its sole discretion.

6.	The representations and warranties set forth in Section 1 of the Purchase Agreement (as defined below) are hereby deemed to be repeated to Barclays as if set forth herein.

Additional Termination Events:

The occurrence of any of the following shall be an Additional Termination Event for purposes of the Transaction:

Repayment Event . If a Repayment Event (as defined below) occurs, Barclays shall have the right to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement with respect to the Transaction only to the extent of the principal amount of Reference Notes that cease to be outstanding as a result of such Repayment Event and to the extent Barclays has not designated an Early Termination Date with respect to the transaction evidenced by the Initial Note Hedge Confirmation (the “ Initial Note Hedge Transaction ”) and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no payments shall be required hereunder in connection with such Repayment Event.

If an Initial Purchase Event occurs for any reason other than a breach of the Purchase Agreement by the Initial Purchasers, then all payments previously made hereunder shall be returned to the person making such payment, including the Premium, less an amount equal to the product of (a) 447,107 Shares, (b) 0.50 and (c) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the closing price of the Shares on the Trade Date over the closing price of the Shares on the date of the Termination Event (such product, the “ Break Expense ”); provided that any negative amount shall be replaced by zero and provided further that, to the extent the Premium has not been paid, Buyer shall promptly pay Seller the Break Expense. Seller and Buyer agree that actual damages would be difficult to ascertain under these circumstances and that the amount of liquidated damages resulting from the determination in the preceding sentence is a good faith estimate of such damages and not a penalty.

Staggered Settlement:

2.	the aggregate number of Shares that Seller will deliver to Buyer hereunder on all such Staggered Settlement Dates or delivery times will equal the number of Shares that Seller would otherwise be required to deliver on such Nominal Settlement Date; and

3.	the Net Share Settlement terms will apply on each Staggered Settlement Date, except that the Shares comprising the Net Share Settlement Amount will be allocated among such Staggered Settlement Dates or delivery times as specified by Seller in the notice referred to in clause (1) above.

Disposition of Hedge Shares:

Repurchase Notices:

Counterparty shall, on any day on which Counterparty effects any repurchase of Shares, promptly give Seller a written notice of such repurchase (a “ Repurchase Notice ”) on such day if following such repurchase, the Notice Percentage as determined on such day is (i) greater than 9% and (ii) greater by 0.5% than the Notice Percentage included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice (or, in the case of the first such Repurchase Notice, greater than the Notice Percentage as of the date hereof). In the event that Counterparty fails to provide Seller with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this section, then Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons (Seller and each such person being an “ Indemnified Party ”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject under applicable securities laws, including without limitation, Section 16 of the Exchange Act, relating to or arising out of such failure. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnified Party, then Counterparty shall contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability. In addition, Counterparty will reimburse any Indemnified Party for all reasonable and documented expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) as they are incurred (after notice to Counterparty) in connection with the investigation of, preparation for or defense or settlement of any pending or threatened claim or any action, suit or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto and whether or not such claim, action, suit or proceeding is initiated or brought by or on behalf of Counterparty. This indemnity shall survive the completion of the Transaction contemplated by this Confirmation and any assignment and delegation of the Transaction made pursuant to this Confirmation or the Agreement shall inure to the benefit of any permitted assignee of Seller. Counterparty will not be liable to an Indemnified Party under this provision, whether by indemnity or contribution, to the extent that any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense is found in a final judgment by a court to have resulted from that Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The “ Notice Percentage ” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (i) the numerator of which is the product of (a) the Applicable Portion of the Reference Notes, (b) the sum of the number of outstanding Reference Notes underlying the Confirmation and the number of outstanding Reference Notes underlying the Initial Note Hedge Transaction and (c) a number of Shares per Reference Note equal to the Conversion Rate (as defined in the Note Indenture) and (ii) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day.

Netting and Set-Off:	Obligations under the Transaction shall not be netted, recouped or set-off (including pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement) against any other obligations of the parties, whether arising under the Agreement, the Transaction, any other agreement, applicable law or otherwise, and each party hereby waives any such right of set-off, netting or recoupment; provided that both parties agree that subparagraph (ii) of Section 2(c) of the Agreement shall apply to the Transaction.

Collateral:	None.

Transfer:	Buyer shall have the right to assign its rights and delegate its obligations hereunder with respect to any portion of the Transaction, subject to Seller’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that such assignment or transfer shall be subject to receipt by Seller of opinions and documents reasonably satisfactory to Seller and effected on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Seller with respect to any legal and regulatory requirements relevant to the Seller; provided further that Buyer shall not be released from its obligation to deliver any Exercise Notice or its obligations pursuant to “Disposition of Hedge Shares”, “Repurchase Notices” or “Conversion Rate Adjustment Notices” above. Buyer agrees that it shall not be unreasonable for Seller to withhold its consent to any assignment or transfer if Seller determines, based upon the advice of outside counsel, that the assignment or transfer would be inadvisable because it could cause the hedging activities of Seller, or of Buyer’s transferee, related to the transactions contemplated in connection with the issuance of the Reference Notes to fail to comply with applicable securities laws or regulations.

If at any time at which (1) the Equity Percentage exceeds 9.0% or (2) Barclays, Barclays Group (as defined below) or any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Barclays or Barclays Group (Barclays, Barclays Group or any such person, a “ Barclays Person ”) under Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “ DGCL Takeover Statute ”) or any state or federal bank holding company or banking laws, or other federal, state or local regulations or regulatory orders applicable to ownership of Shares (“ Applicable Laws ”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership in excess of a number of Shares equal to (x) the number of Shares that would give rise to reporting or registration obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval by a state or federal regulator) of a Barclays Person under Applicable Laws (including, without limitation, “interested stockholder” or “acquiring person” status under the DGCL Takeover Statute) and with respect to which such requirements have not been met or the relevant approval has not been received minus (y) 1.0% of the number of Shares outstanding on the date of determination (either such condition described in clause (1) or (2), an “ Excess Ownership Position ”) and Barclays is unable, after commercially reasonable efforts, to effect a transfer or assignment on pricing terms and within a time period reasonably acceptable to it of all or a portion of the Transaction pursuant to the preceding sentence such that an Excess Ownership Position no longer exists, Barclays may designate any Scheduled Trading Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion (the “ Terminated Portion ”) of the Transaction, such that an Excess Ownership Position no longer exists. In the event that Barclays so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (x) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Transaction and a Number of Options equal to the Terminated Portion, (y) Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (z) such Transaction shall be the only Terminated Transaction. The “ Equity Percentage ” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Barclays and any of its affiliates subject to aggregation with Barclays, for purposes of the “beneficial ownership” test under Section 13 of the Exchange Act, and all persons who may form a “group” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act) with Barclays (“ Barclays Group ”), beneficially own (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act) on such day and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day.

	In circumstances in which the foregoing provisions relating to Seller’s right to transfer or assign its rights or obligations under the Transaction are not applicable, Seller may transfer any of its rights or delegate its obligations under the Transaction with the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that Seller may transfer or assign without any consent of Counterparty its rights and obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, to any of its affiliates (a “ Transferee Affiliate ”) if:

	(a) Seller provides Buyer prior written notice of such transfer;

	(b) as of the date of such transfer, and giving effect thereto, the Transferee Affiliate involved in such transfer will not be required to withhold or deduct on account of Tax from any payments under the Agreement or will be required to gross up for such Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement;

	(c) as of the date of such transfer, and giving effect thereto, the Buyer will not be required to gross up for such Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement;

	(d) no Event of Default or Termination Event with respect to Seller has occurred and is continuing at the time of the transfer and neither an Event of Default nor a Termination Event with respect to such Transferee Affiliate will occur as a result of such transfer;

	(e) the obligations of the Transferee Affiliate to the Transaction will be guaranteed by Barclays Bank PLC;

	(f) such transfer shall be effected at no costs or expenses to Buyer; and

Electing Party:		Buyer

Settlement Date:		Subject to the delivery of an Exercise Notice and, if applicable, a Supplemental Exercise Notice to the Seller, the third (3rd) Exchange Business Day following the final Trading Day in the applicable Conversion Reference Period in respect of the relevant Conversion Date.

Net Share Settlement:		In lieu of the obligations set forth in Sections 8.1 and 9.1 of the Equity Definitions, Seller shall deliver to Buyer on the related Settlement Date (i) a number of Shares equal to the related Net Share Settlement Amount, provided that in the event that the number of Shares calculated comprises any fractional Share, only whole Shares shall be delivered and an amount equal to the value of such fractional Share shall be payable by Seller to Buyer in cash, and (ii) (x) an amount in cash equal to the sum of the Daily Net Cash Portion (as defined in the Note Indenture) for each day of the Conversion Reference Period that Buyer is required to pay under the Note Indenture in respect of Reference Notes with an aggregate principal amount equal to the Conversion Amount for such Conversion Date multiplied by (y) the Applicable Portion of the Reference Notes, provided that the delivery obligation set forth in clause (i) and (ii) of this paragraph shall be determined excluding any Shares or cash that Counterparty is obligated to deliver to holders of the applicable Reference Notes as a result of any discretionary adjustments to the Conversion Rate (as defined in the Note Indenture) by Counterparty pursuant to Section 5.06(a)(10) of the Note Indenture.

		If Counterparty is permitted to or required to exercise discretion under the terms of the Note Indenture with respect to any determination, calculation or adjustment relevant to conversion of the Reference Notes including, but not limited to, the volume-weighted average price of the Shares, Counterparty shall consult with GS&Co. with respect thereto.

Net Cash Settlement:		In lieu of the obligations set forth in Section 8.1 of the Equity Definitions, on the Settlement Date Seller shall deliver to Buyer an amount in cash equal to the related Net Cash Settlement Amount.

Net Share Settlement Amount:		For each Conversion Date, the number of Shares equal to the product of (x) the sum of the Daily Share Amounts (as defined in the Note Indenture) multiplied by (y) 100% minus the Cash Percentage (or, if no Cash Percentage is specified, zero) that Buyer is required to deliver for such Conversion Date under the Note Indenture in respect of Reference Notes with an aggregate principal amount equal to the Conversion Amount for such Conversion Date multiplied by the Applicable Portion of the Reference Notes; provided that if an Exercise Notice with respect to such Conversion Date has not been delivered to the Seller prior to the first Trading Day of the Conversion Reference Period applicable to such Conversion Date, the Net Share Settlement Amount for such Conversion Date shall be adjusted by the Calculation Agent to account for the consequences of the reduced number of Trading Days from the delivery of the Exercise Notice to the end of the applicable Conversion Reference Period with respect to such Conversion Date. No reduction of the Net Share Settlement Amount shall reduce the Net Share Settlement Amount below zero.

Net Cash Settlement Amount:

If Counterparty is permitted to or required to exercise discretion under the terms of the Note Indenture with respect to any determination, calculation or adjustment relevant to conversion of the Reference Notes including, but not limited to, the volume-weighted average price of the Shares, Counterparty shall consult with GS&Co. with respect thereto.

Consequences for Merger Events:

Repayment Event . If a Repayment Event (as defined below) occurs, GS&Co. shall have the right to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement with respect to the Transaction only to the extent of the principal amount of Reference Notes that cease to be outstanding as a result of such Repayment Event and to the extent GS&Co. has not designated an Early Termination Date with respect to the transaction evidenced by the Initial Note Hedge Confirmation (the “ Initial Note Hedge Transaction ”) and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no payments shall be required hereunder in connection with such Repayment Event.

3.	the Net Share Settlement terms will apply on each Staggered Settlement Date, except that the Shares comprising the Net Share Settlement Amount will be allocated among such Staggered Settlement Dates or delivery times as specified by Seller in the notice referred to in clause (1) above.

Disposition of Hedge Shares:

Repurchase Notices:

Counterparty shall, on any day on which Counterparty effects any repurchase of Shares, promptly give Seller a written notice of such repurchase (a “ Repurchase Notice ”) on such day if following such repurchase, the Notice Percentage as determined on such day is (i) greater than 9% and (ii) greater by 0.5% than the Notice Percentage included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice (or, in the case of the first such Repurchase Notice, greater than the Notice Percentage as of the date hereof).

In addition, Counterparty will reimburse any Indemnified Party for all reasonable and documented expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) as they are incurred (after notice to Counterparty) in connection with the investigation of, preparation for or defense or settlement of any pending or threatened claim or any action, suit or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto and whether or not such claim, action, suit or proceeding is initiated or brought by or on behalf of Counterparty.

Accordingly, Buyer represents and warrants to Seller that (i) it has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Transaction and is able to bear a total loss of its investment, (ii) it is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Regulation D as promulgated under the Securities Act and (iii) the disposition of the Transaction is restricted under this Confirmation, the Securities Act and state securities laws.

	Buyer further represents:

	(b) Buyer acknowledges that as of the date hereof and without limiting the generality of Section 13.1 of the Equity Definitions, Seller is not making any representations or warranties with respect to the treatment of the Transaction under any accounting standards including ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share , ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging , ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (or any successor issue statements) or under FASB’s Liabilities & Equity Project.

Buyer agrees that it shall not be unreasonable for Seller to withhold its consent to any assignment or transfer if Seller determines, based upon the advice of outside counsel, that the assignment or transfer would be inadvisable because it could cause the hedging activities of Seller, or of Buyer’s transferee, related to the transactions contemplated in connection with the issuance of the Reference Notes to fail to comply with applicable securities laws or regulations.

Dear Sir / Madam:

The definitions and provisions contained in the 2006 ISDA Definitions (the “ Swap Definitions ”) and the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “ Equity Definitions ” and, together with the Swap Definitions, the “ Definitions ”), in each case as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc., are incorporated into this Confirmation. In the event of any inconsistency between the Swap Definitions and the Equity Definitions, the Equity Definitions will govern, and in the event of any inconsistency between the Definitions and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will govern. References herein to the “Transaction” shall be deemed to be references to a “Share Option Transaction” for the purposes of the Equity Definitions and to a “Swap Transaction” for the purposes of the Swap Definitions. For purposes of the Transaction, “Warrant Style”, “Warrant Type”, “Number of Warrants” and “Warrant Entitlement” (each as defined below) shall be used herein as if such terms were referred to as “Option Style”, “Option Type”, “Number of Options” and “Option Entitlement”, respectively, in the Definitions.

The terms of the particular Transaction to which this Confirmation relates are as follows:

General Terms:
Trade Date:		May 18, 2011

Effective Date:		May 23, 2011, subject to cancellation of the OTC Warrant Transaction prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such date by the Counterparty. In the event of such cancellation, any payments previously made hereunder, including the Premium, shall be returned to the person making such payment. In addition, Counterparty shall reimburse Barclays for any costs or expenses (including market losses) relating to the unwinding of its hedging activities in connection with the Transaction (including any loss or cost incurred as a result of its terminating, liquidating, obtaining or reestablishing any hedge or related trading position).

Warrant Style:		European

Warrant Type:		Call

Seller:		Counterparty

Buyer:		Barclays

Shares:		Shares of common stock, $0.001 par value, of Counterparty (Security Symbol: “ICON”).

Components:		The Transaction will be divided into individual Components, each with the terms set forth in this Confirmation, and, in particular, with the Daily Number of Warrants and Expiration Date set forth in this Confirmation. The valuation and exercise of the Transaction and the payments and deliveries to be made upon settlement of the Transaction will be determined separately for each Component as if each Component were a separate Transaction under the Agreement.

Number of Warrants:		447,107, in the aggregate for the Transaction

Daily Number of Warrants:		For any Expiration Date, the unexercised Number of Warrants on such day divided by the remaining number of Expiration Dates (including such day) and rounded down to the nearest whole number, with the balance of the Number of Warrants exercised on the final Expiration Date.

Warrant Entitlement:		One (1) Share per Warrant

Strike Price:		$40.6175

Premium:		$1,320,000

Premium Payment Date:		The Effective Date; provided no cancellation of the Transaction has occurred prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such date by the Counterparty.

Exchange:		NASDAQ Global Market

Related Exchange(s):		All Exchanges

Full Exchange Business Day:		A Scheduled Trading Day that has a scheduled closing time for its regular trading session at 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) or the then standard closing time for regular trading on the Exchange and is not a Disrupted Day.

Procedures for Exercise:
In respect of any Component

Expiration Time:		11:59 p.m. (New York City time).

Expiration Dates:		The 75 consecutive Full Exchange Business Days beginning on and including September 6, 2016, each shall be the Expiration Date for a number of Warrants equal to the Daily Number of Warrants on such date and shall relate to a separate Component; provided that if not all such 75 consecutive Full Exchange Business Days have occurred as of the Final Disruption Date, the Calculation Agent shall have the right to elect, in its reasonable discretion, that the Final Disruption Date shall be the final Expiration Date (irrespective of whether such date is a Disrupted Day or an Expiration Date in respect of any of the Warrants) and the Settlement Price for the Final Disruption Date shall be determined by the Calculation Agent in a commercially reasonable manner. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary in the Equity Definitions, if a Market Disruption Event occurs on any Scheduled Trading Day otherwise, (i) the Calculation Agent may determine that such day is a Disrupted Day only in part, in which case the Calculation Agent may make adjustments to the Daily Number of Warrants for the relevant Component for which such day shall be the Expiration Date and the Daily Number of Warrants for Expiration Dates that follow such day and (ii) the Settlement Price for such Disrupted Day may be adjusted by the Calculation Agent as appropriate on the basis of the nature and duration of the relevant Market Disruption Event. Any day on which the Exchange is scheduled as of the Trade Date to close prior to its normal closing time shall be considered a Disrupted Day in whole. Section 6.6 of the Equity Definitions shall not apply to any Valuation Date occurring on an Expiration Date.

Final Disruption Date:		The date that immediately follows the scheduled Expiration Date for the final Component by nine Scheduled Trading Days.

Exercise Dates:		Each Expiration Date shall be an Exercise Date for a number of Warrants equal to the Daily Number of Warrants on such date.

Automatic Exercise:		Applicable; provided that Section 3.4(a) of the Equity Definitions shall apply to Cash Settlement and Net Physical Settlement; and provided further that, unless all Warrants have been previously exercised hereunder, a number of Warrants for each Expiration Date equal to the Daily Number of Warrants for such Expiration Date shall be deemed to be automatically exercised.

Market Disruption Event:		Section 6.3(a) of the Equity Definitions shall be amended by deleting the words “at any time during the one hour period that ends at the relevant Valuation Time, Latest Exercise Time, Knock-in Valuation Time or Knock-out Valuation Time, as the case may be” and replacing them with the words “at any time during the regular trading session on the Exchange, without regard to after hours or any other trading outside of the regular trading session hours”, by amending and replacing clause (a)(ii) thereof in its entirety with “(ii) an Exchange Disruption that the Calculation Agent determines is material”, by amending and restating clause (a)(iii) thereof in its entirety to read as follows: “(iii) an Early Closure that the Calculation Agent determines is material” and by adding the words “, or (iv) a Regulatory Disruption” after clause (a)(iii) as restated above. Section 6.3(d) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the remainder of the provision following the term “Scheduled Closing Time” in the fourth line thereof.

Regulatory Disruption:	A “Regulatory Disruption” shall occur if Barclays determines in its reasonable good faith discretion and based on the advice of counsel that it is appropriate in light of legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements or related policies or procedures for Barclays to refrain from all or any part of the market activity in which it would otherwise engage in connection with the Transaction. Barclays will notify Counterparty promptly of any determination that a Regulatory Disruption has occurred.

Disrupted Day:	The definition of “Disrupted Day” in Section 6.4 of the Equity Definitions shall be amended by adding the following sentence after the first sentence: “A Scheduled Trading Day on which a Related Exchange fails to open during its regular trading session will not be a Disrupted Day if the Calculation Agent determines that such failure will not have a material impact on Barclays’ ability to unwind any hedging transactions related to the Transaction.”

Valuation:
In respect of any Component

Valuation Dates:		Each Exercise Date


Settlement Terms:
In respect of any Component

Cash Settlement:		Applicable; provided that it shall be a condition of Counterparty’s right to elect Cash Settlement that Counterparty delivers to Buyer on the date of the Cash Settlement election a representation signed by Counterparty that Counterparty is not aware of, and is not in possession of, any material non-public information regarding itself or the Shares. “Material” information for these purposes is any information to which an investor would reasonably attach importance in reaching a decision to buy, sell or hold the Shares.

Settlement Currency:		USD

Settlement Price:		For each Valuation Date, the volume-weighted average price per Share (“VWAP”) calculated from 9:30 a.m. to 3:50 p.m., as observed under the heading Bloomberg “VWAP” on Bloomberg page “ICON <equity> AQR SEC” (or any successor thereto) (or if such volume-weighted average price is unavailable, the market value of one Share on such Valuation Date, as determined by the Calculation Agent); provided that if the scheduled weekday closing time of the Exchange for any Valuation Date is later than 4:00 p.m. (without regard to after hours or any other trading outside of the regular trading session hours) the VWAP shall be calculated for such Valuation Date from 9:45 a.m. until 15 minutes prior to such later closing time of the Exchange.

Cash Settlement Payment Date:		With respect to each Valuation Date, three (3) Currency Business Days after the final Valuation Date.

Settlement Method Election:		Applicable with respect to Cash Settlement or Net Physical Settlement only; provided that any election made pursuant to this Settlement Method Election provision shall be irrevocable and shall apply to every Component.

Electing Party:		Counterparty

Settlement Method Election Date:		Ten (10) Business Days prior to the Expiration Date for the Component with the earliest scheduled Expiration Date.

Default Settlement Method:		Net Physical Settlement.

Net Physical Settlement:		In the event that the Counterparty elects, or is deemed to elect, to settle the Transaction by Net Physical Settlement, subject to “Conditions to Net Physical Settlement” below, Counterparty shall deliver to Barclays on the Settlement Date a number of Shares (the “ Delivered Shares ” ) equal to the Share Delivery Quantity, provided that in the event that the number of Shares calculated comprises any fractional Share, only whole Shares shall be delivered and an amount in cash equal to the value of such fractional share shall be payable by the Counterparty to Barclays in lieu of such fractional Share.

Share Delivery Quantity:		For each Exercise Date, a number of Shares, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the Net Physical Settlement Amount for such Exercise Date divided by the Settlement Price on the Valuation Date in respect of such Settlement Date plus an amount in cash in lieu of any fractional Shares (based on the applicable Settlement Price).

Net Physical Settlement Amount:		For any Exercise Date, an amount equal to the product of (i) the Number of Warrants being exercised on the relevant Exercise Date, (ii) the Strike Price Differential for such Exercise Date and (iii) the Warrant Entitlement.

Strike Price Differential:		For any Valuation Date, (i) if the Settlement Price is greater than the Strike Price, an amount equal to the excess of such Settlement Price over the Strike Price for such Valuation Date or (ii) if such Settlement Price is less than or equal to the Strike Price, zero.

Settlement Date:		Settlement with respect to each Exercise Date shall occur on the third (3rd) Full Exchange Business Day following the final Valuation Date, provided that Barclays shall have the right to request by prior written notice to Counterparty a Settlement Date with respect to any Exercise Date and the related Share Delivery Quantity that is three (3) Full Exchange Business Days following such Exercise Date. Such request shall not unreasonably be denied.

Other Provisions Applicable to Net Physical Settlement:		The provisions of Sections 9.1(c), 9.4 (except that “Settlement Date” shall be as defined above, unless a Settlement Disruption Event prevents delivery of such Shares on that date), 9.8, 9.9, 9.11 (as modified herein) , 9.12 and 10.5 of the Equity Definitions will be applicable, as if “Physical Settlement” applied to the Transaction. Notwithstanding Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions, but subject to “Conditions to Net Physical Settlement” below, the parties acknowledge that any Shares delivered to Barclays may be, upon delivery, subject to restrictions and limitations arising from Counterparty’s status as issuer of the Shares under applicable securities laws as a result of the fact that Counterparty is the issuer of the Shares , and the parties agree that the Representation and Agreement contained in Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions shall be modified by excluding any representations therein relating to restrictions, obligations, limitations or requirements under applicable securities laws that exist as a result of the fact that Counterparty is the issuer of the Shares.

Conditions to Net Physical Settlement:		If, in connection with, or within six months following, delivery of Shares hereunder, Barclays notifies the Counterparty that Barclays has reasonably determined after advice from counsel that there is a considered risk that such Shares are subject to restrictions on transfer in the hands of Barclays pursuant to the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ” ), then Counterparty shall either (i) deliver Shares that are covered by an effective registration statement of Counterparty for immediate resale by Barclays or (ii) agree to deliver additional Shares so that the value of such Shares as determined by the Calculation Agent to reflect an appropriate liquidity discount, equals the value of the number of Shares that would otherwise be deliverable if such Shares were freely tradable upon receipt by Barclays.

		(A) If Counterparty elects to deliver Shares as described in above clause (i), then promptly following such notification from Barclays

		(a) Counterparty shall afford Barclays a reasonable opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation with respect to Counterparty that is customary in scope for underwritten offerings of equity securities that yields a result satisfactory to Barclays;

		(b) Counterparty shall as soon as practicable make available to Barclays an effective registration statement for immediate resale (the “ Registration Statement ” ) in form and content reasonably satisfactory to Barclays and Counterparty and filed pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, and such prospectuses as Barclays may reasonably request to comply with the applicable prospectus delivery requirements (the “ Prospectus ” ) for the resale by Barclays of such number of Shares as Barclays shall reasonably specify in accordance with this paragraph, such Registration Statement to be effective and Prospectus to be current until the earliest of the date on which (1) all Delivered Shares have been sold by Barclays, (2) Barclays has advised Counterparty that it no longer requires that such Registration Statement be effective, (3) all remaining Delivered Shares could be sold by Barclays without registration pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (the “ Registration Period ” ) or (4) Counterparty has provided a legal opinion in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Barclays (with customary assumptions and exceptions) that the Shares issuable upon exercise of these Warrants will be freely tradable under the Securities Act upon delivery to Barclays and not subject to any legend restricting transferability. It is understood that the Registration Statement and Prospectus will cover a number of Shares equal to the aggregate number of Shares (if any) reasonably estimated by Barclays to be potentially deliverable by Counterparty in connection with Net Physical Settlement hereunder (not to exceed the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount) and shall be subject to the same suspension of sales during “blackout dates” as provided in the following paragraph; and

		(c) Counterparty will enter into a registration rights agreement with Barclays in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Barclays and Counterparty, which agreement will contain among other things, customary representations and warranties and indemnification, restrictions on sales during “blackout dates” as provided for in the registration rights agreement (the “ Registration Rights Agreement ” ) entered into by Counterparty on or about the date hereof, provide for delivery of comfort letters and opinions of counsel and other rights relating to the registration of a number of Shares equal to the number of Delivered Shares and other Shares deliverable hereunder up to the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount.

		(B) If Counterparty elects to deliver Shares as described in above clause (ii), then promptly following such notification from Barclays

		(a) Counterparty shall afford Barclays and any potential institutional purchaser of any Shares identified by Barclays a reasonable opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation with respect to Counterparty that is customary in scope for private placements of equity securities subject to execution of any customary confidentiality agreements;

		(b) Counterparty shall enter into an agreement (a “ Private Placement Agreement ” ) with Barclays on commercially reasonable mutually acceptable terms in connection with the private placement of such Shares by Counterparty to Barclays or an affiliate and the private resale of such shares by Barclays or such affiliate, substantially similar to private placement purchase agreements customary for private placements of equity securities, in form and substance commercially reasonably satisfactory to Barclays and Counterparty, which Private Placement Agreement shall include provisions relating to the indemnification of, and contribution in connection with the liability of, Barclays and its affiliates, shall provide for the payment by Counterparty of all expenses in connection with such resale, including all reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel for Barclays, shall contain representations, warranties and agreements of Counterparty reasonably necessary or advisable to establish and maintain the availability of an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act for such resales, and shall use reasonable best efforts to provide for the delivery of accountants’ “comfort letters” to Barclays or such affiliate with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information contained in or incorporated by reference into the offering memorandum prepared for the resale of such Shares;

		(c) Barclays shall sell the Delivered Shares in a commercially reasonable manner until the amount received by Barclays for the sale of the Shares (the “ Proceeds Amount ” ) is equal to the Net Physical Settlement Amount. Any remaining Delivered Shares shall be returned to Counterparty. If the Proceeds Amount is less than the Net Physical Settlement Amount, Counterparty shall promptly deliver upon notice from Barclays additional Shares to Barclays until the U.S. dollar amount from the sale of such Shares by Barclays equals the difference between the Net Physical Settlement Amount and the Proceeds Amount. In no event shall Counterparty be required to deliver to Barclays a number of Shares greater than the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount.

		(C) Notwithstanding the foregoing: (I) if Counterparty has elected to deliver Shares as described in clause (i) above and either (a) Counterparty does not provide for the sale of the Shares under the Registration Statement as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement or (b) some Shares cannot be registered under the Registration Statement due to Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act, then the provisions of sub-paragraph (B) shall apply to the extent Counterparty has not satisfied its obligations hereunder by the delivery of Shares pursuant to sub-paragraph (A). (II) If sub-paragraph (B) is applicable and Counterparty fails to satisfy its obligations under such sub-paragraph (B), then Counterparty may deliver unregistered Shares of equivalent value to the Net Physical Settlement Amount (or, if applicable, the unsatisfied portion thereof). The value of any unregistered Shares so delivered shall be discounted to reflect an appropriate liquidity discount (determined by Barclays in a commercially reasonable manner, taking into account Barclays’ policies and determinations with respect to any transfer restrictions that Barclays deems it advisable to observe in connection with sales of such Shares). (III) If some or all of the Delivered Shares cannot be used to close out stock loans in the shares of Counterparty entered into to establish or maintain short positions by Barclays in connection with the Transaction without a prospectus being required by applicable law to be delivered to such lender, then the value of any such Delivered Shares shall reflect the cost (determined by the Calculation Agent in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner and taking into account the policies and determinations of Barclays with respect to compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements) to Barclays of trading Shares in order to close out its hedge position if any, in all cases for purposes of calculating the Delivered Shares. In no event shall Counterparty be required to top up the delivery in cash.

Limitations on Net Physical Settlement by Counterparty:		Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Agreement to the contrary, the number of Shares that may be delivered at settlement of all Components by Counterparty shall not exceed 670,661 Shares at any time (the “ Maximum Deliverable Share Amount ” ), as adjusted by Calculation Agent to account for any subdivision, stock-split, stock combination, reclassification or similar dilutive or anti-dilutive event with respect to the Shares.

		Counterparty represents and warrants that the number of Available Shares as of the Trade Date is greater than the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount.

Other Provisions:
Additional Agreements:		If Counterparty would be obligated to pay cash to Barclays pursuant to the terms of this Agreement for any reason without having had the right (other than pursuant to this paragraph) to elect to deliver Shares in satisfaction of such payment obligation, then Counterparty may elect to deliver to Barclays a number of Shares (whether registered or unregistered) having a cash value equal to the amount of such payment obligation. Such number of Shares to be delivered shall be the number of Shares, determined by the Calculation Agent, sufficient for Barclays to realize the cash equivalent of such payment obligation from proceeds of the sale of such number of Shares over a reasonable period of time taking into account any applicable discount (determined in a commercially reasonable manner) to reflect any restrictions on transfer as well as the market value of the Shares). Settlement relating to any delivery of Shares pursuant to this paragraph shall occur within a reasonable period of time. The number of Shares delivered pursuant to this paragraph shall not exceed the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount and shall be subject to the provisions under “Early Termination” hereof regarding Proceeds Amount and the provisions set forth in subsection (c) under “Additional Agreements, Representations and Covenants of Counterparty, Etc.” below.

Early Termination:		Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, upon the designation of an Early Termination Date or the occurrence of Cancellation and Payment in whole or in part hereunder, Counterparty’s payment obligation in respect of the Transaction (which shall, in the case of an Early Termination Date be determined in accordance with Second Method and Loss (which shall be determined using commercially reasonable procedures in order to produce a commercially reasonable result)) (the “ Transaction Early Termination Amount ”) may, at the option of Counterparty, be satisfied by the delivery of a number of Shares equal to the Transaction Early Termination Amount divided by the Termination Price (“ Early Termination Stock Settlement ”); provided, however , that Counterparty must notify Barclays of its election of Early Termination Stock Settlement by the close of business on the day that is two Exchange Business Days following the day that the notice designating the Early Termination Date, or notice that an Extraordinary Event has resulted in the cancellation or termination of the Transaction in whole or in part, is effective. “ Termination Price ” means the market value per Share on the Early Termination Date, as determined by the Calculation Agent in a commercially reasonable manner taking into account any applicable discount to reflect any restrictions on transfer.

		A number of Shares calculated as being due in respect of any Early Termination Stock Settlement will be deliverable on the third Clearance System Business Day following the date that notice specifying the number of Shares deliverable is effective; provided that, if Counterparty is delivering Shares as a result of a Merger Event, the Settlement Date for such delivery will be immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger Event and the Shares will be deemed delivered at such time such that Barclays will be a holder of the Shares prior to such effective time. Section 6(d)(i) of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following words after the word “paid” in the fifth line thereof: “or any delivery is to be made, as applicable.”

		On or prior to the Early Termination Date or date on which notice that an Extraordinary Event has resulted in the cancellation or termination of the Transaction in whole or in part is effective, as applicable, if Early Termination Stock Settlement is elected and if so requested by Barclays upon advice of counsel, Counterparty shall (subject to its right to make the election described in the immediately succeeding paragraph) enter into a registration rights agreement with Barclays in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Barclays and Counterparty which agreement will contain among other things, customary representations and warranties and indemnification, restrictions on sales during “blackout dates” as provided for in the Registration Rights Agreement and shall satisfy the conditions contained therein and Counterparty shall file and diligently pursue to effectiveness a Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. If and when such Registration Statement shall have been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, Counterparty shall have made available to Barclays such Prospectuses as Barclays may reasonably request to comply with the applicable prospectus delivery requirements for the resale by Barclays of such number of Shares as Barclays shall specify (or, if greater, the number of Shares that Counterparty shall specify). Such Registration Statement shall be effective and Prospectus shall be current until the earliest of the date on which (i) all Shares delivered by Counterparty in connection with an Early Termination Date have been sold, (ii) Barclays has advised Counterparty that it no longer requires that such Registration Statement be effective or (iii) all remaining Shares could be sold by Barclays without registration pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (the “ Termination Registration Period ”). It is understood that the Registration Statement and Prospectus will cover a number of Shares equal to the number of Shares plus the aggregate number of Shares (if any) reasonably estimated by Barclays to be potentially deliverable by Counterparty in connection with Early Termination Stock Settlement hereunder, but in no event exceeding the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount. On each day during the Termination Registration Period, Counterparty shall represent that each of its filings under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other applicable securities laws that are required to be filed have been filed and that, as of the respective dates thereof and as of the date of this representation, they do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

		If Counterparty elects not to deliver Shares subject to an effective Registration Statement (or if some or all of the Shares delivered cannot be used to close out stock loans in the shares of Counterparty entered into to establish or maintain short positions by Barclays in connection with the Transaction without a prospectus being required by applicable law to be delivered to such lender), the provisions of sub-paragraphs (B) and (C) set forth above under “Conditions to Net Physical Settlement” shall apply, mutatis mutandis, as if the Net Physical Settlement Amount were the Transaction Early Termination Amount. In no event shall Counterparty be required to deliver to Barclays a number of Shares greater than the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount.

Compliance With Securities Laws:		Counterparty represents and agrees that it has complied, and will comply, in connection with the Transaction and all related or contemporaneous sales and purchases of Shares, with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, including, without limitation, Rule 10b-5 and 13e and Regulation M under the Exchange Act.

		Each party acknowledges that the offer and sale of the Transaction to it is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof. Accordingly, each party represents and warrants to the other party that (i) it has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Transaction and is able to bear a total loss of its investment, (ii) it is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Regulation D as promulgated under the Securities Act and (iii) the disposition of the Transaction is restricted under this Confirmation, the Securities Act and state securities laws.

		Counterparty further represents and warrants that:

		(a) Counterparty is not entering into the Transaction to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for Shares);

		(b) Counterparty represents and acknowledges that as of the date hereof and without limiting the generality of Section 13.1 of the Equity Definitions, Barclays is not making any representations or warranties with respect to the treatment of the Transaction under any accounting standards including ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share , ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging , ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (or any successor issue statements) or under FASB’s Liabilities & Equity Project;

		(c) Counterparty is not, and after giving effect to the Transaction contemplated hereby, will not be, an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended;

		(d) As of the Trade Date and each date on which a payment or delivery is made by Counterparty hereunder, (i) the assets of Counterparty at their fair valuation exceed the liabilities of Counterparty, including contingent liabilities; (ii) the capital of Counterparty is adequate to conduct its business; and (iii) Counterparty has the ability to pay its debts and other obligations as such obligations mature and does not intend to, or believe that it will, incur debt or other obligations beyond its ability to pay as such obligations mature.

Bankruptcy Rights:

Right to Extend:		Barclays may postpone any potential Expiration Date or postpone or extend 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 Option Cash Settlement Amount or Net Physical Settlement Amount (as applicable) for such Expiration Date), if Barclays determines, in its reasonable discretion, that such postponement or extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate (i) to preserve Barclays’ or its affiliate’s hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions in the cash market or stock loan market; provided that any extension or postponement resulting from such circumstances or conditions contemplated by this clause (i) shall not result in the final Exercise Date for the Transaction occurring more than seventy-five (75) Scheduled Trading Days following the final Exercise Date contemplated hereunder, or (ii) to enable Barclays or its affiliate to effect purchases or sale of Shares in connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if Barclays or its affiliate 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 Barclays and/or such affiliate.

Transfer:		Neither party may transfer its rights or delegate its obligations under the Transaction without the prior written consent of the other party, except that Barclays, after payment in full of the Premium, may assign its rights and delegate its obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, to any other person (an “ Assignee ”) without the prior consent of the Counterparty, effective (the “ Transfer Effective Date ”) upon delivery to Counterparty of an executed acceptance and assumption by the Assignee (an “ Assumption ”) of the transferred obligations of Barclays under the Transaction (the “ Transferred Obligations ”).

Beneficial Ownership:		Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement or this Confirmation, in no event shall Barclays be entitled to receive, or shall be deemed to receive, any Shares in connection with this Transaction if, immediately upon giving effect to such receipt of such Shares, (i) Barclays’ Beneficial Ownership would be equal to or greater than 9.0% of the outstanding Shares or (ii) Barclays, Barclays Group (as defined below) or any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Barclays or Barclays Group (Barclays, Barclays Group or any such person, a “ Barclays Person ”) under Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “ DGCL Takeover Statute ”) or any federal, state or local laws, regulations or regulatory orders applicable to ownership of Shares (“ Applicable Laws ”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership in excess of a number of Shares equal to (x) the number of Shares that would give rise to reporting or registration obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval by a state or federal regulator) of a Barclays Person under Applicable Laws (including, without limitation, “interested stockholder” or “acquiring person” status under the DGCL Takeover Statute) and with respect to which such requirements have not been met or the relevant approval has not been received, in each case minus (y) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding on the date of determination (each of clause (i) and (ii) above, an “ Ownership Limitation ”). If any delivery owed to Barclays hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of an Ownership Limitation, Barclays’ right to receive such delivery shall not be extinguished and Issuer shall make such delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than one Exchange Business Day after, Barclays gives notice to Issuer that such delivery would not result in any of such Ownership Limitations being breached.

		“ Barclays’ Beneficial Ownership ” means the “beneficial ownership” (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder (collectively, “ Section 13 ”)) of Shares, without duplication, by Barclays, together with any of its affiliates or other person subject to aggregation with Barclays under Section 13 for purposes of “beneficial ownership”, or by any “group” (within the meaning of Section 13) of which Barclays is or may be deemed to be a part (Barclays and any such affiliates, persons and groups, collectively, “ Barclays Group ”) (or, to the extent that, as a result of a change in law, regulation or interpretation after the date hereof, the equivalent calculation under Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder results in a higher number, such number).

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Barclays to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to or from Counterparty, Barclays may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities and otherwise to perform Barclays’ obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations.

Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Barclays 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 Barclays’ hedging activities as a consequence of becoming, or of the risk of becoming, a Section 16 “insider”, including without limitation, any forbearance from hedging activities or cessation of hedging

		activities and any losses in connection therewith with respect to the Transaction), claims, damages, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), joint or several, which an Indemnified Person may become subject to, as a result of Counterparty’s failure to provide Barclays 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 in respect of the foregoing, 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.

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 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this paragraph shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of the Transaction. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph, Counterparty will not be liable to an Indemnified Person under this provision, whether by indemnity or contribution, to the extent that any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense is found in a final judgment by a court to have resulted from that Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Dear Sir / Madam:

The definitions and provisions contained in the 2006 ISDA Definitions (the “ Swap Definitions ”) and the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “ Equity Definitions ” and, together with the Swap Definitions, the “ Definitions ”), in each case as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc., are incorporated into this Confirmation. In the event of any inconsistency between the Swap Definitions and the Equity Definitions, the Equity Definitions will govern, and in the event of any inconsistency between the Definitions and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will govern. References herein to the “Transaction” shall be deemed to be references to a “Share Option Transaction” for the purposes of the Equity Definitions and to a “Swap Transaction” for the purposes of the Swap Definitions. For purposes of the Transaction, “Warrant Style”, “Warrant Type”, “Number of Warrants” and “Warrant Entitlement” (each as defined below) shall be used herein as if such terms were referred to as “Option Style”, “Option Type”, “Number of Options” and “Option Entitlement”, respectively, in the Definitions.

The terms of the particular Transaction to which this Confirmation relates are as follows:

General Terms:
Trade Date:		May 18, 2011

Effective Date:		May 23, 2011, subject to cancellation of the OTC Warrant Transaction prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such date by the Counterparty. In the event of such cancellation, any payments previously made hereunder, including the Premium, shall be returned to the person making such payment. In addition, Counterparty shall reimburse GS&Co. for any costs or expenses (including market losses) relating to the unwinding of its hedging activities in connection with the Transaction (including any loss or cost incurred as a result of its terminating, liquidating, obtaining or reestablishing any hedge or related trading position).

Warrant Style:		European

Warrant Type:		Call

Seller:		Counterparty

Buyer:		GS&Co.

Shares:		Shares of common stock, $0.001 par value, of Counterparty (Security Symbol: “ICON”).

Components:		The Transaction will be divided into individual Components, each with the terms set forth in this Confirmation, and, in particular, with the Daily Number of Warrants and Expiration Date set forth in this Confirmation. The valuation and exercise of the Transaction and the payments and deliveries to be made upon settlement of the Transaction will be determined separately for each Component as if each Component were a separate Transaction under the Agreement.

Number of Warrants:		365,815, in the aggregate for the Transaction

Daily Number of Warrants:		For any Expiration Date, the unexercised Number of Warrants on such day divided by the remaining number of Expiration Dates (including such day) and rounded down to the nearest whole number, with the balance of the Number of Warrants exercised on the final Expiration Date.

Warrant Entitlement:		One (1) Share per Warrant

Strike Price:		$40.6175

Premium:		$1,080,000

Premium Payment Date:		The Effective Date; provided no cancellation of the Transaction has occurred prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such date by the Counterparty.

Exchange:		NASDAQ Global Market

Related Exchange(s):		All Exchanges

Full Exchange Business Day:		A Scheduled Trading Day that has a scheduled closing time for its regular trading session at 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) or the then standard closing time for regular trading on the Exchange and is not a Disrupted Day.

Procedures for Exercise:
In respect of any Component
Expiration Time:		11:59 p.m. (New York City time).

Expiration Dates:		The 75 consecutive Full Exchange Business Days beginning on and including September 6, 2016, each shall be the Expiration Date for a number of Warrants equal to the Daily Number of Warrants on such date and shall relate to a separate Component; provided that if not all such 75 consecutive Full Exchange Business Days have occurred as of the Final Disruption Date, the Calculation Agent shall have the right to elect, in its reasonable discretion, that the Final Disruption Date shall be the final Expiration Date (irrespective of whether such date is a Disrupted Day or an Expiration Date in respect of any of the Warrants) and the Settlement Price for the Final Disruption Date shall be determined by the Calculation Agent in a commercially reasonable manner. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary in the Equity Definitions, if a Market Disruption Event occurs on any Scheduled Trading Day otherwise, (i) the Calculation Agent may determine that such day is a Disrupted Day only in part, in which case the Calculation Agent may make adjustments to the Daily Number of Warrants for the relevant Component for which such day shall be the Expiration Date and the Daily Number of Warrants for Expiration Dates that follow such day and (ii) the Settlement Price for such Disrupted Day may be adjusted by the Calculation Agent as appropriate on the basis of the nature and duration of the relevant Market Disruption Event. Any day on which the Exchange is scheduled as of the Trade Date to close prior to its normal closing time shall be considered a Disrupted Day in whole. Section 6.6 of the Equity Definitions shall not apply to any Valuation Date occurring on an Expiration Date.

Final Disruption Date:		The date that immediately follows the scheduled Expiration Date for the final Component by nine Scheduled Trading Days.

Exercise Dates:		Each Expiration Date shall be an Exercise Date for a number of Warrants equal to the Daily Number of Warrants on such date.

Automatic Exercise:		Applicable; provided that Section 3.4(a) of the Equity Definitions shall apply to Cash Settlement and Net Physical Settlement; and provided further that, unless all Warrants have been previously exercised hereunder, a number of Warrants for each Expiration Date equal to the Daily Number of Warrants for such Expiration Date shall be deemed to be automatically exercised.

Market Disruption Event:		Section 6.3(a) of the Equity Definitions shall be amended by deleting the words “at any time during the one hour period that ends at the relevant Valuation Time, Latest Exercise Time, Knock-in Valuation Time or Knock-out Valuation Time, as the case may be” and replacing them with the words “at any time during the regular trading session on the Exchange, without regard to after hours or any other trading outside of the regular trading session hours”, by amending and replacing clause (a)(ii) thereof in its entirety with “(ii) an Exchange Disruption that the Calculation Agent determines is material”, by amending and restating clause (a)(iii) thereof in its entirety to read as follows: “(iii) an Early Closure that the Calculation Agent determines is material” and by adding the words “, or (iv) a Regulatory Disruption” after clause (a)(iii) as restated above. Section 6.3(d) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the remainder of the provision following the term “Scheduled Closing Time” in the fourth line thereof.

Regulatory Disruption:		A “Regulatory Disruption” shall occur if GS&Co. determines in its reasonable good faith discretion and based on the advice of counsel that it is appropriate in light of legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements or related policies or procedures for GS&Co. to refrain from all or any part of the market activity in which it would otherwise engage in connection with the Transaction. GS&Co. will notify Counterparty promptly of any determination that a Regulatory Disruption has occurred.

Disrupted Day:		The definition of “Disrupted Day” in Section 6.4 of the Equity Definitions shall be amended by adding the following sentence after the first sentence: “A Scheduled Trading Day on which a Related Exchange fails to open during its regular trading session will not be a Disrupted Day if the Calculation Agent determines that such failure will not have a material impact on GS&Co.’s ability to unwind any hedging transactions related to the Transaction.”

In respect of any Component
Valuation Dates:		Each Exercise Date

Settlement Terms:
In respect of any Component

Settlement Currency:		USD

Settlement Price:		For each Valuation Date, the volume-weighted average price per Share (“VWAP”) calculated from 9:30 a.m. to 3:50 p.m., as observed under the heading Bloomberg “VWAP” on Bloomberg page “ICON <equity> AQR SEC” (or any successor thereto) (or if such volume-weighted average price is unavailable, the market value of one Share on such Valuation Date, as determined by the Calculation Agent); provided that if the scheduled weekday closing time of the Exchange for any Valuation Date is later than 4:00 p.m. (without regard to after hours or any other trading outside of the regular trading session hours) the VWAP shall be calculated for such Valuation Date from 9:45 a.m. until 15 minutes prior to such later closing time of the Exchange.

Cash Settlement Payment Date:		With respect to each Valuation Date, three (3) Currency Business Days after the final Valuation Date.

Settlement Method Election Date:		Ten (10) Business Days prior to the Expiration Date for the Component with the earliest scheduled Expiration Date.

Default Settlement Method:		Net Physical Settlement.

Net Physical Settlement:		In the event that the Counterparty elects, or is deemed to elect, to settle the Transaction by Net Physical Settlement, subject to “Conditions to Net Physical Settlement” below, Counterparty shall deliver to GS&Co. on the Settlement Date a number of Shares (the “ Delivered Shares ”) equal to the Share Delivery Quantity, provided that in the event that the number of Shares calculated comprises any fractional Share, only whole Shares shall be delivered and an amount in cash equal to the value of such fractional share shall be payable by the Counterparty to GS&Co. in lieu of such fractional Share.

Share Delivery Quantity:		For each Exercise Date, a number of Shares, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the Net Physical Settlement Amount for such Exercise Date divided by the Settlement Price on the Valuation Date in respect of such Settlement Date plus an amount in cash in lieu of any fractional Shares (based on the applicable Settlement Price).

Net Physical Settlement Amount:		For any Exercise Date, an amount equal to the product of (i) the Number of Warrants being exercised on the relevant Exercise Date, (ii) the Strike Price Differential for such Exercise Date and (iii) the Warrant Entitlement.

Strike Price Differential:		For any Valuation Date, (i) if the Settlement Price is greater than the Strike Price, an amount equal to the excess of such Settlement Price over the Strike Price for such Valuation Date or (ii) if such Settlement Price is less than or equal to the Strike Price, zero.

Settlement Date:		Settlement with respect to each Exercise Date shall occur on the third (3rd) Full Exchange Business Day following the final Valuation Date, provided that GS&Co. shall have the right to request by prior written notice to Counterparty a Settlement Date with respect to any Exercise Date and the related Share Delivery Quantity that is three (3) Full Exchange Business Days following such Exercise Date. Such request shall not unreasonably be denied.

Other Provisions Applicable to Net Physical Settlement:		The provisions of Sections 9.1(c), 9.4 (except that “Settlement Date” shall be as defined above, unless a Settlement Disruption Event prevents delivery of such Shares on that date), 9.8, 9.9, 9.11 (as modified herein) , 9.12 and 10.5 of the Equity Definitions will be applicable, as if “Physical Settlement” applied to the Transaction. Notwithstanding Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions, but subject to “Conditions to Net Physical Settlement” below, the parties acknowledge that any Shares delivered to GS&Co. may be, upon delivery, subject to restrictions and limitations arising from Counterparty’s status as issuer of the Shares under applicable securities laws as a result of the fact that Counterparty is the issuer of the Shares , and the parties agree that the Representation and Agreement contained in Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions shall be modified by excluding any representations therein relating to restrictions, obligations, limitations or requirements under applicable securities laws that exist as a result of the fact that Counterparty is the issuer of the Shares.

Conditions to Net Physical Settlement:		If, in connection with, or within six months following, delivery of Shares hereunder, GS&Co. notifies the Counterparty that GS&Co. has reasonably determined after advice from counsel that there is a considered risk that such Shares are subject to restrictions on transfer in the hands of GS&Co. pursuant to the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), then Counterparty shall either (i) deliver Shares that are covered by an effective registration statement of Counterparty for immediate resale by GS&Co. or (ii) agree to deliver additional Shares so that the value of such Shares as determined by the Calculation Agent to reflect an appropriate liquidity discount, equals the value of the number of Shares that would otherwise be deliverable if such Shares were freely tradable upon receipt by GS&Co.

		(A) If Counterparty elects to deliver Shares as described in above clause (i), then promptly following such notification from GS&Co.

		(a) Counterparty shall afford GS&Co. a reasonable opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation with respect to Counterparty that is customary in scope for underwritten offerings of equity securities that yields a result satisfactory to GS&Co.;

		(b) Counterparty shall as soon as practicable make available to GS&Co. an effective registration statement for immediate resale (the “ Registration Statement ”) in form and content reasonably satisfactory to GS&Co. and Counterparty and filed pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, and such prospectuses as GS&Co. may reasonably request to comply with the applicable prospectus delivery requirements (the “ Prospectus ”) for the resale by GS&Co. of such number of Shares as GS&Co. shall reasonably specify in accordance with this paragraph, such Registration Statement to be effective and Prospectus to be current until the earliest of the date on which (1) all Delivered Shares have been sold by GS&Co., (2) GS&Co. has advised Counterparty that it no longer requires that such Registration Statement be effective, (3) all remaining Delivered Shares could be sold by GS&Co. without registration pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (the “ Registration Period ”) or (4) Counterparty has provided a legal opinion in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to GS&Co. (with customary assumptions and exceptions) that the Shares issuable upon exercise of these Warrants will be freely tradable under the Securities Act upon delivery to GS&Co. and not subject to any legend restricting transferability. It is understood that the Registration Statement and Prospectus will cover a number of Shares equal to the aggregate number of Shares (if any) reasonably estimated by GS&Co. to be potentially deliverable by Counterparty in connection with Net Physical Settlement hereunder (not to exceed the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount) and shall be subject to the same suspension of sales during “blackout dates” as provided in the following paragraph; and

		(c) Counterparty will enter into a registration rights agreement with GS&Co. in form and substance reasonably acceptable to GS&Co. and Counterparty, which agreement will contain among other things, customary representations and warranties and indemnification, restrictions on sales during “blackout dates” as provided for in the registration rights agreement (the “ Registration Rights Agreement ”) entered into by Counterparty on or about the date hereof, provide for delivery of comfort letters and opinions of counsel and other rights relating to the registration of a number of Shares equal to the number of Delivered Shares and other Shares deliverable hereunder up to the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount.

		(B) If Counterparty elects to deliver Shares as described in above clause (ii), then promptly following such notification from GS&Co.

		(a) Counterparty shall afford GS&Co. and any potential institutional purchaser of any Shares identified by GS&Co. a reasonable opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation with respect to Counterparty that is customary in scope for private placements of equity securities subject to execution of any customary confidentiality agreements;

(b) Counterparty shall enter into an agreement (a “ Private Placement Agreement ”) with GS&Co. on commercially reasonable mutually acceptable terms in connection with the private placement of such Shares by Counterparty to GS&Co. or an affiliate and the private resale of such shares by GS&Co. or such affiliate, substantially similar to private placement purchase agreements customary for private placements of equity securities, in form and substance commercially reasonably satisfactory to GS&Co. and Counterparty, which Private Placement Agreement shall include provisions relating to the indemnification of, and contribution in connection with the liability of, GS&Co. and its affiliates, shall provide for the payment by Counterparty of all expenses in connection with such resale, including all reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel for GS&Co., shall contain representations, warranties and agreements of Counterparty reasonably necessary or advisable to establish and maintain the availability of an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act for such resales, and shall use reasonable best efforts to provide for the delivery of accountants’ “comfort letters” to GS&Co. or such affiliate with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information contained in or incorporated by reference into the offering memorandum prepared for the resale of such Shares;

		(c) GS&Co. shall sell the Delivered Shares in a commercially reasonable manner until the amount received by GS&Co. for the sale of the Shares (the “ Proceeds Amount ”) is equal to the Net Physical Settlement Amount. Any remaining Delivered Shares shall be returned to Counterparty. If the Proceeds Amount is less than the Net Physical Settlement Amount, Counterparty shall promptly deliver upon notice from GS&Co. additional Shares to GS&Co. until the U.S. dollar amount from the sale of such Shares by GS&Co. equals the difference between the Net Physical Settlement Amount and the Proceeds Amount. In no event shall Counterparty be required to deliver to GS&Co. a number of Shares greater than the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount.

		(C) Notwithstanding the foregoing: (I) if Counterparty has elected to deliver Shares as described in clause (i) above and either (a) Counterparty does not provide for the sale of the Shares under the Registration Statement as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement or (b) some Shares cannot be registered under the Registration Statement due to Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act, then the provisions of sub-paragraph (B) shall apply to the extent Counterparty has not satisfied its obligations hereunder by the delivery of Shares pursuant to sub-paragraph (A). (II) If sub-paragraph (B) is applicable and Counterparty fails to satisfy its obligations under such sub-paragraph (B), then Counterparty may deliver unregistered Shares of equivalent value to the Net Physical Settlement Amount (or, if applicable, the unsatisfied portion thereof). The value of any unregistered Shares so delivered shall be discounted to reflect an appropriate liquidity discount (determined by GS&Co. in a commercially reasonable manner, taking into account GS&Co.’s policies and determinations with respect to any transfer restrictions that GS&Co. deems it advisable to observe in connection with sales of such Shares). (III) If some or all of the Delivered Shares cannot be used to close out stock loans in the shares of Counterparty entered into to establish or maintain short positions by GS&Co. in connection with the Transaction without a prospectus being required by applicable law to be delivered to such lender, then the value of any such Delivered Shares shall reflect the cost (determined by the Calculation Agent in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner and taking into account the policies and determinations of GS&Co. with respect to compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements) to GS&Co. of trading Shares in order to close out its hedge position if any, in all cases for purposes of calculating the Delivered Shares. In no event shall Counterparty be required to top up the delivery in cash.

Limitations on Net Physical Settlement by Counterparty:		Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Agreement to the contrary, the number of Shares that may be delivered at settlement of all Components by Counterparty shall not exceed 548,723 Shares at any time (the “ Maximum Deliverable Share Amount ”), as adjusted by Calculation Agent to account for any subdivision, stock-split, stock combination, reclassification or similar dilutive or anti-dilutive event with respect to the Shares.

		Counterparty represents and warrants that the number of Available Shares as of the Trade Date is greater than the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount. Counterparty covenants and agrees that (i) Counterparty shall not take any action of corporate governance or otherwise to reduce the number of Available Shares below the Maximum Deliverable Share and (ii) Counterparty shall use its reasonable efforts to cause the number of Available Shares at all times to be greater than the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount.

		For this purpose, “ Available Shares ” means the number of Shares Counterparty currently has authorized (but not issued and outstanding) less the maximum number of Shares that may be required to be issued by Counterparty in connection with stock options, convertibles, and other commitments of Counterparty that may require the issuance or delivery of Shares in connection therewith.

Representations for Cash Settlement and Net Physical Settlement:		If Counterparty elects to settle the Transaction by Cash Settlement or Net Physical Settlement, Counterparty represents and agrees that:

		(i) Counterparty is not, on the date of the Cash Settlement or Net Physical Settlement election, and will not be, on any day during the period from and including the first Expiration Date to and including the final Expiration Date, engaged in a distribution, as such term is used in Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), other than a distribution meeting the requirements of the exceptions set forth in sections 101(b)(10) and 102(b)(7) of Regulation M; and

		(ii) during the period from and including the first Expiration Date to and including the final Expiration Date, without the prior written consent of GS&Co., the Counterparty shall not, and shall cause its affiliates and affiliated purchasers (each as defined in Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act (“ Rule 10b-18 ”)) not to, directly or indirectly (including, without limitation, by means of a derivative instrument) purchase, offer to purchase, place any bid or limit order that would effect a purchase of, or commence any tender offer relating to, any Shares (or equivalent interest, including a unit of beneficial interest in a trust or limited partnership or a depository share) or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares; provided, that such restrictions will not apply to the following: (A) purchases of Shares directly effected by the Issuer in privately negotiated off-market transactions that are not “Rule 10b-18 Purchases” as defined in Rule 10b-18, (B) purchases of Shares from holders of performance shares or units or restricted shares or units to satisfy tax withholding requirements in connection with vesting; (C) the conversion or exchange by holders of any convertible or exchangeable securities of the Issuer issued prior to the Trade Date pursuant to the terms of such securities; or (D) purchases of Shares effected by or for an Issuer plan by an agent independent of the Issuer that satisfy the requirements of Rule 10b-18(a)(13)(ii) under the Exchange Act.

Share-for-Share:		The definition of “Share-for-Share” set forth in Section 12.1(f) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by the deletion of the parenthetical in clause (i) thereof.

Consequences of Merger Events:
Merger Event:		Applicable; provided that if an event occurs that constitutes both a Merger Event under Section 12.1(b) of the Equity Definitions and Additional Termination Event as defined below in this Confirmation, GS&Co. may elect, in its commercially reasonable judgment, whether the provisions of Section 12.2 of the Equity Definitions or the provisions regarding Additional Termination Events below will apply.

Other Provisions:
Additional Agreements:		If Counterparty would be obligated to pay cash to GS&Co. pursuant to the terms of this Agreement for any reason without having had the right (other than pursuant to this paragraph) to elect to deliver Shares in satisfaction of such payment obligation, then Counterparty may elect to deliver to GS&Co. a number of Shares (whether registered or unregistered) having a cash value equal to the amount of such payment obligation. Such number of Shares to be delivered shall be the number of Shares, determined by the Calculation Agent, sufficient for GS&Co. to realize the cash equivalent of such payment obligation from proceeds of the sale of such number of Shares over a reasonable period of time taking into account any applicable discount (determined in a commercially reasonable manner) to reflect any restrictions on transfer as well as the market value of the Shares). Settlement relating to any delivery of Shares pursuant to this paragraph shall occur within a reasonable period of time. The number of Shares delivered pursuant to this paragraph shall not exceed the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount and shall be subject to the provisions under “Early Termination” hereof regarding Proceeds Amount and the provisions set forth in subsection (c) under “Additional Agreements, Representations and Covenants of Counterparty, Etc.” below.

Early Termination:		Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, upon the designation of an Early Termination Date or the occurrence of Cancellation and Payment in whole or in part hereunder, Counterparty’s payment obligation in respect of the Transaction (which shall, in the case of an Early Termination Date be determined in accordance with Second Method and Loss (which shall be determined using commercially reasonable procedures in order to produce a commercially reasonable result)) (the “ Transaction Early Termination Amount ”) may, at the option of Counterparty, be satisfied by the delivery of a number of Shares equal to the Transaction Early Termination Amount divided by the Termination Price (“ Early Termination Stock Settlement ”); provided, however , that Counterparty must notify GS&Co. of its election of Early Termination Stock Settlement by the close of business on the day that is two Exchange Business Days following the day that the notice designating the Early Termination Date, or notice that an Extraordinary Event has resulted in the cancellation or termination of the Transaction in whole or in part, is effective. “ Termination Price ” means the market value per Share on the Early Termination Date, as determined by the Calculation Agent in a commercially reasonable manner taking into account any applicable discount to reflect any restrictions on transfer.

		A number of Shares calculated as being due in respect of any Early Termination Stock Settlement will be deliverable on the third Clearance System Business Day following the date that notice specifying the number of Shares deliverable is effective; provided that, if Counterparty is delivering Shares as a result of a Merger Event, the Settlement Date for such delivery will be immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger Event and the Shares will be deemed delivered at such time such that GS&Co. will be a holder of the Shares prior to such effective time. Section 6(d)(i) of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following words after the word “paid” in the fifth line thereof: “or any delivery is to be made, as applicable.”

		On or prior to the Early Termination Date or date on which notice that an Extraordinary Event has resulted in the cancellation or termination of the Transaction in whole or in part is effective, as applicable, if Early Termination Stock Settlement is elected and if so requested by GS&Co. upon advice of counsel, Counterparty shall (subject to its right to make the election described in the immediately succeeding paragraph) enter into a registration rights agreement with GS&Co. in form and substance reasonably acceptable to GS&Co. and Counterparty which agreement will contain among other things, customary representations and warranties and indemnification, restrictions on sales during “blackout dates” as provided for in the Registration Rights Agreement and shall satisfy the conditions contained therein and Counterparty shall file and diligently pursue to effectiveness a Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. If and when such Registration Statement shall have been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, Counterparty shall have made available to GS&Co. such Prospectuses as GS&Co. may reasonably request to comply with the applicable prospectus delivery requirements for the resale by GS&Co. of such number of Shares as GS&Co. shall specify (or, if greater, the number of Shares that Counterparty shall specify). Such Registration Statement shall be effective and Prospectus shall be current until the earliest of the date on which (i) all Shares delivered by Counterparty in connection with an Early Termination Date have been sold, (ii) GS&Co. has advised Counterparty that it no longer requires that such Registration Statement be effective or (iii) all remaining Shares could be sold by GS&Co. without registration pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (the “ Termination Registration Period ”). It is understood that the Registration Statement and Prospectus will cover a number of Shares equal to the number of Shares plus the aggregate number of Shares (if any) reasonably estimated by GS&Co. to be potentially deliverable by Counterparty in connection with Early Termination Stock Settlement hereunder, but in no event exceeding the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount. On each day during the Termination Registration Period, Counterparty shall represent that each of its filings under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other applicable securities laws that are required to be filed have been filed and that, as of the respective dates thereof and as of the date of this representation, they do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

		If Counterparty elects not to deliver Shares subject to an effective Registration Statement (or if some or all of the Shares delivered cannot be used to close out stock loans in the shares of Counterparty entered into to establish or maintain short positions by GS&Co. in connection with the Transaction without a prospectus being required by applicable law to be delivered to such lender), the provisions of sub-paragraphs (B) and (C) set forth above under “Conditions to Net Physical Settlement” shall apply, mutatis mutandis, as if the Net Physical Settlement Amount were the Transaction Early Termination Amount. In no event shall Counterparty be required to deliver to GS&Co. a number of Shares greater than the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount.

Compliance With Securities Laws:		Counterparty represents and agrees that it has complied, and will comply, in connection with the Transaction and all related or contemporaneous sales and purchases of Shares, with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, including, without limitation, Rule 10b-5 and 13e and Regulation M under the Exchange Act.

		Each party acknowledges that the offer and sale of the Transaction to it is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof. Accordingly, each party represents and warrants to the other party that (i) it has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Transaction and is able to bear a total loss of its investment, (ii) it is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Regulation D as promulgated under the Securities Act and (iii) the disposition of the Transaction is restricted under this Confirmation, the Securities Act and state securities laws.

		Counterparty further represents and warrants that:

		(a) Counterparty is not entering into the Transaction to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for Shares);

		(b) Counterparty represents and acknowledges that as of the date hereof and without limiting the generality of Section 13.1 of the Equity Definitions, GS&Co. is not making any representations or warranties with respect to the treatment of the Transaction under any accounting standards including ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share , ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging , ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (or any successor issue statements) or under FASB’s Liabilities & Equity Project;

		(c) Counterparty is not, and after giving effect to the Transaction contemplated hereby, will not be, an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended;

		(d) As of the Trade Date and each date on which a payment or delivery is made by Counterparty hereunder, (i) the assets of Counterparty at their fair valuation exceed the liabilities of Counterparty, including contingent liabilities; (ii) the capital of Counterparty is adequate to conduct its business; and (iii) Counterparty has the ability to pay its debts and other obligations as such obligations mature and does not intend to, or believe that it will, incur debt or other obligations beyond its ability to pay as such obligations mature.

Bankruptcy Rights:		In the event of Counterparty’s bankruptcy, GS&Co.’s rights in connection with the Transaction shall not exceed those rights held by common shareholders.

Right to Extend:		GS&Co. may postpone any potential Expiration Date or postpone or extend 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 Option Cash Settlement Amount or Net Physical Settlement Amount (as applicable) for such Expiration Date), if GS&Co. determines, in its reasonable discretion, that such postponement or extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate (i) to preserve GS&Co.’s or its affiliate’s hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions in the cash market or stock loan market; provided that any extension or postponement resulting from such circumstances or conditions contemplated by this clause (i) shall not result in the final Exercise Date for the Transaction occurring more than seventy-five (75) Scheduled Trading Days following the final Exercise Date contemplated hereunder, or (ii) to enable GS&Co. or its affiliate to effect purchases or sale of Shares in connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if GS&Co. or its affiliate 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 GS&Co. and/or such affiliate.

Transfer:		Neither party may transfer its rights or delegate its obligations under the Transaction without the prior written consent of the other party, except that GS&Co., after payment in full of the Premium, may assign its rights and delegate its obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, to any other person (an “ Assignee ”) without the prior consent of the Counterparty, effective (the “ Transfer Effective Date ”) upon delivery to Counterparty of an executed acceptance and assumption by the Assignee (an “ Assumption ”) of the transferred obligations of GS&Co. under the Transaction (the “ Transferred Obligations ”).

Beneficial Ownership:		Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement or this Confirmation, in no event shall GS&Co. be entitled to receive, or shall be deemed to receive, any Shares in connection with this Transaction if, immediately upon giving effect to such receipt of such Shares, (i) Goldman’s Beneficial Ownership would be equal to or greater than 9.0% of the outstanding Shares or (ii) GS&Co., Goldman Group (as defined below) or any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of GS&Co. or Goldman Group (GS&Co., Goldman Group or any such person, a “ Goldman Person ”) under Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “ DGCL Takeover Statute ”) or any federal, state or local laws, regulations or regulatory orders applicable to ownership of Shares (“ Applicable Laws ”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership in excess of a number of Shares equal to (x) the number of Shares that would give rise to reporting or registration obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval by a state or federal regulator) of a Goldman Person under Applicable Laws (including, without limitation, “interested stockholder” or “acquiring person” status under the DGCL Takeover Statute) and with respect to which such requirements have not been met or the relevant approval has not been received, in each case minus (y) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding on the date of determination (each of clause (i) and (ii) above, an “ Ownership Limitation ”). If any delivery owed to GS&Co. hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of an Ownership Limitation, GS&Co.’s right to receive such delivery shall not be extinguished and Issuer shall make such delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than one Exchange Business Day after, GS&Co. gives notice to Issuer that such delivery would not result in any of such Ownership Limitations being breached. “ Goldman’s Beneficial Owne rship ” means the “beneficial ownership” (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder (collectively, “ Section 13 ”)) of Shares, without duplication, by GS&Co., together with any of its affiliates or other person subject to aggregation with GS&Co. under Section 13 for purposes of “beneficial ownership”, or by any “group” (within the meaning of Section 13) of which GS&Co. is or may be deemed to be a part (GS&Co. and any such affiliates, persons and groups, collectively, “ Goldman Group ”) (or, to the extent that, as a result of a change in law, regulation or interpretation after the date hereof, the equivalent calculation under Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder results in a higher number, such number).

(or such affiliate) is not entitled to receive at any time pursuant to this paragraph, until such time as such Shares are delivered pursuant to this paragraph. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing GS&Co. to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to or from Counterparty, GS&Co. may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities and otherwise to perform GS&Co.’s obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. GS&Co. shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty solely to the extent of any such performance, and not otherwise.

Repurchase Notices:		Counterparty shall, on any day on which Counterparty effects any repurchase of Shares, promptly give GS&Co. a written notice of such repurchase (a “ Repurchase Notice ”) on such day if following such repurchase, the Warrant Equity Percentage as determined on such day is (i) equal to or greater than 9% or (ii) greater by 0.5% than the Warrant Equity Percentage included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice (or, in the case of the first such Repurchase Notice, greater than the Warrant Equity Percentage as of the Trade Date). The “ Warrant Equity Percentage ” as of any day is the fraction (A) the numerator of which is the product of (x) the sum of the Number of Warrants in the aggregate and the number of Warrants in the aggregate underlying the OTC warrant transaction referencing the Shares entered into by GS&Co. and Counterparty on May 17, 2011 and (y) the Option Entitlement in respect of the Transaction and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day. Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless GS&Co. 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 GS&Co.’s hedging activities as a consequence of becoming, or of the risk of becoming, a Section 16 “insider”, including without limitation, any forbearance from hedging activities or cessation of hedging activities and any losses in connection therewith with respect to the Transaction), claims, damages, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), joint or several, which an Indemnified Person may become subject to, as a result of Counterparty’s failure to provide GS&Co. 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 in respect of the foregoing, 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 be liable for any settlement of any proceeding contemplated by this paragraph that is effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, Counterparty agrees to indemnify any Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Counterparty shall not, without the prior written consent of the 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 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 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this paragraph shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of the Transaction. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph, Counterparty will not be liable to an Indemnified Person under this provision, whether by indemnity or contribution, to the extent that any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense is found in a final judgment by a court to have resulted from that Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Iconix Brand Group, Inc. Announces Closing of Private Offering of $300 Million of 2.50% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes, Including the Full Exercise of the Over-allotment Option

New York, NY -- May 23, 2011 -- Iconix Brand Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: ICON) ("Iconix") announced today the closing of its private offering of $300 million aggregate principal amount of 2.50% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016 (the “notes”), including $25 million aggregate principal amount of notes issued in connection with the full exercise by the initial purchasers of their over-allotment option. The notes were sold to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

The notes are Iconix's unsecured obligations, subordinated in right of payment to existing and future secured senior indebtedness. The notes will pay interest semi-annually in cash on June 1 and December 1 at a rate of 2.50% per year, commencing December 1, 2011. The notes mature on June 1, 2016. The holders of the notes will have the ability to require Iconix to repurchase all or any portion of their notes for cash in the event of a fundamental change. In such case, the repurchase price would be 100% of the principal amount of the notes being repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest.

Prior to March 1, 2016, the notes are convertible only upon the occurrence of certain events and during certain periods, and thereafter, at any time until the business day preceding the maturity date of the notes. The notes are convertible at an initial conversion rate of 32.5169 shares of Iconix common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $30.75, which represents a 32.5% conversion premium to the last sale price of $23.21 per share of Iconix common stock on the NASDAQ on May 17, 2011. In addition, following certain corporate transactions that occur prior to the maturity date, Iconix will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder that elects to convert its notes in connection with such corporate transaction. Upon any conversion, Iconix’s conversion obligation will be settled in cash up to the principal amount and, to the extent of any excess over the principal amount, in shares of Iconix common stock, or, if Iconix so elects, cash.

In connection with the offering of the notes, Iconix has entered into privately negotiated convertible note hedge transactions with one or more dealers, each of whom is an initial purchaser of the notes or an affiliate thereof (the "hedge counterparties"). The convertible note hedge transactions cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, the number of shares of Iconix common stock that initially underlie the notes. Iconix has also entered into separate privately negotiated warrant transactions with the hedge counterparties relating to the same number of shares of Iconix common stock. The strike price of the warrant transactions is initially approximately $40.6175 per share, which represents a 75.0% premium to the last sale price of Iconix common stock on the NASDAQ on May 17, 2011. The convertible note hedge transactions are expected to reduce the potential dilution with respect to Iconix common stock upon conversion of the notes. However, the warrant transactions will have a dilutive effect with respect to Iconix common stock to the extent that the market price per share of Iconix common stock exceeds the applicable strike price of the warrants on any expiration date of the warrants.

In connection with establishing their initial hedges of the convertible note hedge transactions and warrant transactions, the hedge counterparties and/or their affiliates expect to purchase Iconix common stock in open market transactions and/or privately negotiated transactions and/or enter into various cash-settled derivative transactions with respect to Iconix common stock. In addition, the hedge counterparties and/or their affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivative transactions with respect to Iconix common stock and/or by purchasing or selling Iconix common stock in open market transactions and/or privately negotiated transactions following the pricing of the notes from time to time (and are likely to do so during any conversion period related to a conversion of notes). Any of these hedging activities could also increase, decrease or prevent a decline in, the market price of Iconix common stock.

The net proceeds from the sale of the notes were approximately $292.5 million after deducting the initial purchasers' fees but excluding offering expenses. In addition, Iconix received proceeds from the sale of the warrants described above. Iconix used a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the notes and the proceeds from the sale of the warrants to fund the net cost of the convertible note hedge transactions. Iconix expects to use the remaining net proceeds from the sale of the notes (i) to prepay the outstanding balance of indebtedness under its term loan facility due January 1, 2012 within 90 days after the closing of the offering, (ii) to make future repayment on the existing convertible senior subordinated notes, which may be on or prior to the maturity date thereof, and (iii) for general corporate purposes, which may include, but are not limited to, investing in or acquiring new brands through opportunistic mergers, stock or asset purchases and/or other strategic relationships, although there are no present commitments or agreements with respect to any such investments or acquisitions.

The notes and the shares of Iconix common stock issuable upon conversion thereof, if any, have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy these securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
