Re: Forward/Swap Transaction

Dear Sirs:

The purpose of this document is to set forth the terms and conditions of the transaction entered into between Credit Suisse International (“Party A” or “CS”) and Infinity World Investments LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Party B” or “Counterparty”), on the Trade Date specified below (the “Transaction”). In this Confirmation, “Agent” means Credit Suisse, New York branch, solely in its capacity as agent for CS and Counterparty. This Confirmation constitutes a “Confirmation” as referred to in the ISDA Form specified below and shall supersede all or any prior written or oral agreement in relation to this Transaction.

In addition, this Confirmation shall supplement, form a part of, and be subject to an agreement in the form of the 1992 ISDA Master Agreement (Multicurrency-Cross Border) (the “ISDA Form”) published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) as if we had executed an agreement in such form, but with the amendments set out under “Supplemental Provisions” in this Confirmation (such agreement as amended, the “Agreement”), on the Trade Date of the Transaction. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of the Agreement and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will prevail.


The definitions and provisions contained in the 2002 Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “Equity Definitions”) and the 2006 ISDA Definitions (the “2006 Definitions”), as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc., are incorporated into this Confirmation. In the event of any inconsistency between the Equity Definitions or the 2006 Definitions and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will govern. In the event of any inconsistency between the Equity Definitions and the 2006 Definitions, the Equity Definitions will prevail for all purposes.

Concurrently with the entry into the Transaction, Counterparty has entered into substantially similar transactions (collectively, the “Other Transactions”) with each of Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch and The Royal Bank of Scotland plc (collectively, the “Other Dealers”) on substantially similar documentation as this Confirmation.

In addition, if requested by Party B, Party A shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Party B as will enable Party B to determine whether or not Party A is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Party A shall deliver to Party B (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by Party B) on or prior to the date on which Party A becomes a party to this Agreement and at the time or times prescribed by applicable law (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of Party B, but only if Party A is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Party B by Party A shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
