Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 16, 2012, Medicis Pharmaceutical Corporation (the Company) issued and sold $500 million of its 1.375% Convertible Senior Notes due 2017 (the Notes). The Notes were offered and sold in a public offering (the Offering) registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-181292) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on May 10, 2012, which was effective upon filing, as supplemented by the final prospectus supplement filed with the SEC on May 11, 2012 (the Final Prospectus Supplement). The Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of May 16, 2012 (the Base Indenture), between the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee (the Trustee), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 16, 2012 (together with the Base Indenture, the Indenture). The Indenture includes customary terms and covenants, including certain events of default after which the Notes may be due and payable immediately.
The Notes will mature on June 1, 2017 and will pay 1.375% annual cash interest, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2012. On or after March 1, 2017, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the stated maturity date, or prior to then but only under certain circumstances, the Notes will be convertible into cash up to the principal amount, with the remaining amount to be satisfied, at the Companys option, in shares of the Companys Class A common stock (the Common Stock), cash or a combination thereof. The Notes will be convertible at an initial conversion rate of 21.2427 shares of the Companys Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, subject to adjustment upon certain events, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $47.07 per share of the Companys Common Stock. The Notes are the Companys general unsecured obligations.
A copy of the Indenture (including the form of the Notes) is attached as an exhibit to this report and is incorporated herein by reference (and this description is qualified in its entirety by reference to such document).
The net proceeds from the Offering were approximately $484.9 million, after deducting the underwriters discounts and estimated transaction expenses associated with the Offering and the Convertible Note Hedge Transactions, described below, payable by the Company. The Company used approximately $44.9 million of the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes to pay the cost of the Convertible Note Hedge Transactions (after such cost was partially offset by the proceeds that the Company received from the Warrant Transactions). The remaining net proceeds from the Offering will be used for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital, capital expenditures, repurchasing shares of the Companys Common Stock from time to time, repaying the Companys outstanding debt and corporate acquisitions.
In connection with the pricing of the Notes on May 10, 2012, the Company entered into privately negotiated convertible note hedge transactions with affiliates of the underwriters of the Notes (the Option Counterparties). In addition, on May 11, 2012, the Company entered into additional privately negotiated convertible note hedge transactions with the Option Counterparties (together with the convertible note hedge transactions entered into in connection with the pricing of the Notes, the Convertible Note Hedge Transactions). The Convertible Note Hedge Transactions cover, collectively, the number of shares of the Companys Common Stock underlying the Notes, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the Notes. The Company also entered into separate, privately-negotiated warrant transactions with the Option Counterparties (the Warrant Transactions, and together with the Convertible Note Hedge Transactions, Convertible Note Hedge and Warrant Transactions), initially relating to the number of shares of the Companys Common Stock underlying the Convertible Note Hedge Transactions, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. Subject to certain conditions, the Company may settle the warrants in cash or on a net-share basis.
The Convertible Note Hedge Transactions are expected to reduce the potential dilution with respect to the Companys Common Stock and/or reduce the Companys exposure to potential cash payments that may be required upon conversion of the Notes. However, the Warrant Transactions will have a dilutive effect with respect to the Companys Common Stock to the extent that the market price per share of the Companys Common Stock exceeds the strike price of the warrants, unless the Company elects, subject to certain conditions, to settle the Warrant Transactions in cash. The strike price of the Warrant Transactions will initially be approximately $60.26 per share, which represents a premium of approximately 60% over the last reported sale price of $37.66 per share of the Companys Common Stock on The New York Stock Exchange on May 10, 2012.
3
The Convertible Note Hedge and Warrant Transactions are separate transactions, in each case, entered into by the Company with the Option Counterparties, and are not part of the terms of the Notes and will not affect any holders rights under the Notes. Holders of the Notes will not have any rights with respect to the Convertible Note Hedge and Warrant Transactions.
The foregoing description of the Convertible Note Hedge and Warrant Transactions is qualified in its entirety by the copies of the confirmations of the Convertible Note Hedge and Warrant Transactions which are attached as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8 and 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.
The information set forth in Item 1.01 with respect to the Convertible Note Hedge and Warrant Transactions is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities.
The information set forth in Item 1.01 in connection with the Warrant Transactions is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02.
The Company entered into the Warrant Transactions with the Option Counterparties in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
To the extent that any shares of Common Stock are issued upon conversion of the Notes or exercise of the warrants by the Options Counterparties pursuant to the Warrant Transactions, they will be issued in transactions anticipated to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act by virtue of Section 3(a)(9) thereof, because no commission or other remuneration is expected to be paid in connection with the conversion of the Notes and any resulting issuance of shares of Common Stock.

On the basis of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, and subject to its terms and conditions, the Company agrees to sell to the Underwriters the Additional Securities, and the Underwriters shall have the right to purchase, severally and not jointly, up to 50,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Additional Securities at the Purchase Price. The Representatives may exercise this right on behalf of the Underwriters in whole or from time to time in part, on or before the thirtieth day following the date of this Agreement, by giving written notice.

(l) The Company also covenants with each Underwriter that, without the prior written consent of the Representatives on behalf of the Underwriters, it will not, during the period ending 90 days after the date of the Prospectus, (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, or (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause 1 or 2 above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise or (3) file any registration statement with the Commission relating to the offering of any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to (a) the Securities and Underlying Shares to be sold hereunder, (b) the transactions described in the Hedge and Warrant Documentation, (c) the issuance by the Company of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of an option or warrant or the conversion of a security outstanding on the date hereof of which the Underwriters have been advised in writing, (d) any shares of Common Stock issued, or options to purchase Common Stock granted, pursuant to existing employee benefit plans, or (e) the establishment of a repurchase plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), for the repurchase of shares of Common Stock.
(m) To prepare a final term sheet relating to the offering of the Securities, containing only information that describes the final terms of the Securities or the offering in a
18

(n) To list the Underlying Shares issuable upon conversion of the Securities on the New York Stock Exchange.
(o) To reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive rights, sufficient Underlying Shares to enable the Company to satisfy any obligation to issue Underlying Shares upon conversion of the Securities (calculated after giving effect to the maximum number of shares of Common Stock at such time issuable upon conversion of the Securities upon the occurrence of any make-whole adjustment event (as defined in the Prospectus)).
(p) Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, not to do or authorize any act or thing that would result in an adjustment of the conversion rate of the Securities.
7. Covenants of the Underwriters. Each Underwriter severally covenants with the Company not to take any action that would result in the Company being required to file with the Commission under Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of, or used or referred to by, such Underwriter without the consent of the Company that otherwise would not be required to be filed by the Company thereunder, but for the action of the Underwriter.
8. Indemnity and Contribution. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees and agents of the Underwriters and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each affiliate of any Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act, any Company information that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (other than with respect to the registration Statement, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through you expressly for use therein.
(b) Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to such
19
Underwriter, but only with reference to information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through you expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto.
In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 8(a) or 8(b), such person (the indemnified party) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the indemnifying party) in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would, in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified partys counsel, be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the Representatives, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a), and by the Company, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 60 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding 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.
(c) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) or Section 8(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in
20
lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 8(d)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 8(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Securities shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Securities (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of the Securities as set forth in the Prospectus. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters and the parties relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Underwriters respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are several in proportion to the respective principal amounts of Securities they have purchased hereunder, and not joint.
(d) The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 8(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 8(d) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter 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 Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.
(e) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 8 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Company contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, any person controlling any Underwriter or any affiliate of any Underwriter or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Securities.
21
9. Termination. The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement by notice given by you to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on, or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE Amex Equities , the NASDAQ Global Market, the Chicago Board of Options Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or the Chicago Board of Trade, (ii) trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (iii) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred, (iv) any moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by Federal or New York State authorities or (v) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, or any change in financial markets, currency exchange rates or controls or any calamity or crisis that, in your judgment, is material and adverse and which, singly or together with any other event specified in this clause (v), makes it, in your judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus.
10. Effectiveness; Defaulting Underwriters. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.
If, on the Closing Date or an Option Closing Date, as the case may be, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities that it has or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate principal amount of Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the principal amount of Firm Securities set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule II bears to the aggregate principal amount of Firm Securities set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as you may specify, to purchase the Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the principal amount of Securities that any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section 10 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such principal amount of Securities without the written consent of such Underwriter. If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities and the aggregate principal amount of Securities with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to you and the Company for the purchase of such Securities are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company. In any such case either you or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement, in the Time of Sale Prospectus, in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. If, on an Option Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Additional Securities and the aggregate principal amount of Additional Securities with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the
22
aggregate principal amount of Additional Securities to be purchased on such Option Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall have the option to (i) terminate their obligation hereunder to purchase the Additional Securities to be sold on such Option Closing Date or (ii) purchase not less than the aggregate principal amount of Additional Securities that such non-defaulting Underwriters would have been obligated to purchase in the absence of such default. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.
If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Company shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement the Company will reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all documented out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder, it being understood that the Company will not be required to reimburse the Underwriters pursuant to this paragraph if this Agreement is terminated by the Underwriters pursuant to clauses (iii), (iv) or (v) of Section 9 titled Termination.
11. Entire Agreement. (a) This Agreement, together with any contemporaneous written agreements and any prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement) that relate to the offering of the Securities, represents the entire agreement between the Company and the Underwriters with respect to the preparation of any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, the conduct of the offering, and the purchase and sale of the Securities.
(b) The Company acknowledges that in connection with the offering of the Securities: (i) the Underwriters have acted at arms length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Company or any other person, (ii) the Underwriters owe the Company only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement and prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement), if any, and (iii) the Underwriters may have interests that differ from those of the Company. The Company waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the Underwriters arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offering of the Securities.
12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.
13. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.
14. Headings. The headings of the sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement.

Medicis Pharmaceutical Corporation
1.375% Convertible Senior Notes due 2017
The information in this pricing term sheet supplements Medicis Pharmaceutical Corporations preliminary prospectus supplement, dated May 10, 2012 (the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement), including the documents incorporated by reference therein, relating to the offering of the Notes (as defined below) (the Offering), and supersedes the information in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement to the extent inconsistent with the information in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement. In all other respects, this term sheet is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement. Terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings as set forth in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement. All references to dollar amounts are references to U.S. dollars.
Issuer: | Medicis Pharmaceutical Corporation (Medicis) | |
Ticker / Exchange: | MRX / The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) | |
Title of Securities: | 1.375% Convertible Senior Notes due 2017 (the Notes) | |
Aggregate Principal Amount Offered: | $450,000,000 of Notes | |
Offering Price: | The Notes will be issued at a price of 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest, if any, from May 16, 2012 | |
Over-Allotment Option: | $50,000,000 principal amount of Notes | |
Annual Interest Rate: | The Notes will bear interest at a rate equal to 1.375% per annum from May 16, 2012 | |
NYSE Last Reported Sale Price on May 10, 2012: | $37.66 per share of Medicis Class A common stock | |
Conversion Premium: | Approximately 25% above the NYSE Last Reported Sale Price on May 10, 2012 | |
Initial Conversion Price: | Approximately $47.07 per share of Medicis Class A common stock | |

ISIN: | US584690AC53 | |
Underwriting Discount: | 2.625% | |
Convertible Note Hedge and Warrant Transactions: | In connection with the pricing of the Notes, Medicis entered into convertible note hedge transactions with affiliates of Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (each of which is referred to as an Option Counterparty). Medicis also entered into warrant transactions with the Option Counterparties. The convertible note hedge transactions are expected to reduce potential dilution to Medicis Class A common stock and/or offset any cash payments Medicis is required to make in excess of the principal amount upon any conversion of Notes. However, the warrant transactions could separately have a dilutive effect to the extent that the market value per share of Medicis Class A common stock exceeds the applicable strike price of the warrants. If the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option to purchase additional Notes, Medicis may enter into additional convertible note hedge and warrant transactions | |
Use of Proceeds: | Medicis estimates that the net proceeds from the Offering, after deducting estimated expenses payable by Medicis and the underwriters discount, will be approximately $436.2 million (or $484.9 million if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full).
Medicis intends to use approximately $40.4 million of the net proceeds from the Offering to pay the cost of the convertible note hedge transactions described below (after such cost is partially offset by the proceeds to Medicis from the sale of the warrant transactions described below).
Medicis intends to use the remainder of the net proceeds from the Offering for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital, capital expenditures, repurchasing shares of Medicis Class A common stock from time to time, repaying its outstanding debt and corporate acquisitions. | |
Capitalization | After giving effect to Medicis use of approximately $40.4 million of the net proceeds from the Offering to pay the cost of the convertible note hedge transactions described above (after such cost is partially offset by the proceeds to Medicis from the sale of the warrant transactions described above), as of March 31, 2012:
the as-adjusted amount of Cash and cash equivalents in the table set forth in the Capitalization section of the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement would have been $492,121;
the as-adjusted amount of Additional paid-in capital in such table would have been $764,541;
the as-adjusted amount of Total stockholders equity in such table would have been $793,301; and
the as-adjusted amount of Total capitalization in such table would have been $1,412,627;
in each case, determined in the manner described in such Capitalization section of the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement. | |
Adjustment to Conversion Rate upon Conversion upon a Make-Whole Adjustment Event: | The table below sets forth the number of additional shares, if any, of Medicis Class A common stock by which the conversion rate will be increased for conversions in connection with a make-whole adjustment event as described in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, based on the stock price and effective date of the make-whole adjustment event. |

Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned understands that Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (collectively, the Underwriters) propose to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the Underwriting Agreement) with Medicis Pharmaceutical Corporation (the Company), providing for the public offering by the Underwriters of 1.375% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2017 (the Securities), of the Company (the Public Offering).
To induce the Underwriters that may participate in the Public Offering to continue their efforts in connection with the Public Offering, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Underwriters, the undersigned will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, contract to sell (including any short sale), grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of any shares of common stock, par value $0.014 of the Company (the Common Stock) (including, without limitation, shares of Common Stock of the Company which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the undersigned currently or hereafter in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) and shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon exercise of a stock option or warrant) and any other security convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or enter into any Hedging Transaction (as defined below) relating to the Common Stock (each of the foregoing referred to as a Disposition) during the period specified in the following paragraph (the Lock-Up Period). The foregoing restriction is expressly intended to preclude the undersigned from engaging in any Hedging Transaction or other transaction which is designed to or reasonably expected to lead to or result in a Disposition during the Lock-Up Period even if the securities would be disposed of by someone other than the undersigned. Hedging Transaction means any short sale (whether or not against the box) or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including, without limitation, any put or call option) with respect to any security (other than a broad-based market basket or index) that includes, relates to or derives any significant part of its value from the Common Stock.
D-1
The initial Lock-Up Period will commence on the date hereof and continue until, and include, the date that is 90 days after the date of the final prospectus relating to the Public Offering (the Initial Lock-Up Period); provided, however, that if (1) during the last 17 days of the Initial Lock-Up Period, (A) the Company releases earnings results or (B) material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs, or (2) prior to the expiration of the Initial Lock-Up Period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period following the last day of the Initial Lock-Up Period, then in each case the Lock-Up Period will be extended until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the date of the release of the earnings results or the occurrence of material news or a material event relating to the Company, as the case may be, unless the Underwriters waive, in writing, such extension. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no extension to the Initial Lock-Up Period if, at the end of the Initial Lock-Up Period, (i) the Companys shares of Common Stock are actively-traded securities as such term is defined in Regulation M under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act) and (ii) the Underwriters are able to publish or distribute research reports concerning the Company or its industry pursuant to Rule 139 of the Securities Act.
The undersigned agrees that, prior to engaging in any transaction or taking any other action that is subject to the terms of this agreement during the period from the date of this agreement to and including the 34th day following the expiration of the Initial Lock-Up Period, it will give notice thereof to the Company and will not consummate such transaction or take any such action unless it has received written confirmation from the Company that the Lock-Up Period (as may have been extended pursuant to the previous paragraph) has expired.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may transfer shares of Common Stock or other Company securities (i) by gift (including to a trust), (ii) by distribution to partners, members or shareholders of the undersigned, (iii) by will or by intestacy, (iv) to the Company in an amount deemed to occur upon the cashless exercise of options granted pursuant to the Companys employee benefit plans in existence on the date hereof, (v) to the Company in an amount necessary to satisfy taxes payable in connection with awards granted pursuant to the Companys employee benefit plans in existence on the date hereof; provided, however, that, in case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, (A) it shall be a condition to the transfer that the transferee execute an agreement stating that the transferee is receiving and holding the securities subject to the provisions of this Lock-Up Agreement and (B) the transfer does not trigger any filing or reporting requirement or obligation or result in any other voluntary or mandatory public disclosure, including but not limited to Form 4 of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) (other than a filing of a Form 5 made after expiration of the 90-day period reference above); provided, further, that, in the case of clauses (iv) and (v) above, any filings under the Exchange Act or otherwise made in connection with any such exercise shall state that the transfer was made in connection with the exercise of options or the awards of grants, and; provided, further, that, in the case of clause (iv) above, the shares of Common Stock obtained as a result of such exercise shall be subject to this Lock-Up Agreement.
D-2
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the undersigned has any outstanding options that will expire during the Lock-Up Period and that were issued by the Company to the undersigned pursuant to equity compensation plans in existence on the date hereof, the undersigned may exercise such options for shares of Common Stock via a cashless exercise (including any broker-assisted cashless exercise), provided, however, that (i) any filings under the Exchange Act or otherwise made in connection with any such exercise shall state that the transfer was made in connection with the exercise of options, and (ii) the shares of Common Stock obtained as a result of such exercise shall be subject to this Lock-Up Agreement.
Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may transfer shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that the undersigned may transfer during the Lock-Up Period shall not exceed shares of Common Stock1.
The undersigned agrees that the Company may, and that the undersigned will, (i) with respect to any shares of Common Stock or other Company securities for which the undersigned is the record holder, cause the transfer agent for the Company to note stop transfer instructions with respect to such securities on the transfer books and records of the Company and (ii) with respect to any shares of Common Stock or other Company securities for which the undersigned is the beneficial holder but not the record holder, cause the record holder of such securities to cause the transfer agent for the Company to note stop transfer instructions with respect to such securities on the transfer books and records of the Company.
In addition, the undersigned hereby waives any and all notice requirements and rights with respect to registration of securities pursuant to any agreement, understanding or otherwise setting forth the terms of any security of the Company held by the undersigned, including any registration rights agreement to which the undersigned and the Company may be party; provided that such waiver shall apply only to the proposed Public Offering, and any other action taken by the Company in connection with the proposed Public Offering.
The undersigned hereby agrees that, to the extent that the terms of this Lock-Up Agreement conflict with or are in any way inconsistent with any registration rights agreement to which the undersigned and the Company may be a party, this Lock-Up Agreement supersedes such registration rights agreement.
The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this Lock-Up Agreement. All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred shall survive the death or incapacity of the undersigned and any obligations of the undersigned shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned.
1 | Total aggregate amount of shares for all of the Companys directors and executive officers not to exceed 547,056 shares of Common Stock. |
D-3
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the closing of the Public Offering has not occurred prior to February 10, 2013, this agreement shall be of no further force or effect.
Very truly yours, |

All Securities of any one Series need not be issued at the same time and may be issued from time to time, consistent with the terms of this Indenture, if so provided by or pursuant to the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers Certificate referred to above.
Section 2.3. Execution and Authentication.
An Officer shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile signature.
If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Security is authenticated, the Security shall nevertheless be valid.
A Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual or facsimile signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture.
The Trustee shall at any time, and from time to time, authenticate Securities for original issue in the principal amount provided in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers Certificate, upon receipt by the Trustee of a Company Order. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.
The aggregate principal amount of Securities of any Series outstanding at any time may not exceed any limit upon the maximum principal amount for such Series set forth in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2, except as provided in Section 2.8.
Prior to the issuance of Securities of any Series, the Trustee shall have received and (subject to Section 7.2) shall be fully protected in relying on: (a) the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers Certificate establishing the form of the Securities of that Series or of Securities within that Series and the terms of the Securities of that Series or of Securities within that Series, (b) an Officers Certificate complying with Sections 10.4 and 10.5, and (c) an Opinion of Counsel complying with Sections 10.4 and 10.5.
The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities of such Series: (a) if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such
8
action may not be taken lawfully; or (b) if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or trustees, executive committee or a trust committee of directors and/or vice-presidents or a committee of Responsible Officers shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to Holders of any then outstanding Series of Securities.
The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities. An authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company.
Section 2.4. Registrar and Paying Agent.
The Company shall maintain, with respect to each Series of Securities, at the place or places specified with respect to such Series pursuant to Section 2.2, an office or agency where Securities of such Series may be presented or surrendered for payment (Paying Agent), where Securities of such Series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange (Registrar) and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of such Series and this Indenture may be delivered (Notice Agent). The Registrar shall keep a register with respect to each Series of Securities and to their transfer and exchange. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the name and address, and any change in the name or address, of each Registrar, Paying Agent or Notice Agent. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required Registrar, Paying Agent or Notice Agent or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the name and address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.
The Company may also from time to time designate one or more co-registrars, additional paying agents or additional notice agents and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligations to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent and Notice Agent in each place so specified pursuant to Section 2.2 for Securities of any Series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the name or address of any such co-registrar, additional paying agent or additional notice agent. The term Registrar includes any co-registrar; the term Paying Agent includes any additional paying agent; and the term Notice Agent includes any additional notice agent. The Company or any of its Affiliates may serve as Registrar or Paying Agent.
The Company hereby appoints the Trustee the initial Registrar, Paying Agent and Notice Agent for each Series unless another Registrar, Paying Agent or Notice Agent, as the case may be, is appointed prior to the time Securities of that Series are first issued.
9
Section 2.5. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.
The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust, for the benefit of Securityholders of any Series of Securities, or the Trustee, all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on the Series of Securities, and will notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of Securityholders of any Series of Securities all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding with respect to the Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Securities.
Section 2.6. Securityholder Lists.
The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Securityholders of each Series of Securities and shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least ten days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing a list, in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of Securityholders of each Series of Securities.
Section 2.7. Transfer and Exchange.
Where Securities of a Series are presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register a transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of the same Series, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange if its requirements for such transactions are met. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Registrars request. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein), but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.11, 3.6 or 9.6).
Neither the Company nor the Registrar shall be required (a) to issue, register the transfer of, or exchange Securities of any Series for the period beginning at the opening of business fifteen days immediately preceding the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of that Series selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (b) to register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any Series selected, called or being called for redemption as a whole or the portion being redeemed of any such Securities selected, called or being called for redemption in part.
10
Section 2.8. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.
If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same Series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity bond as may be required by each of them to hold itself and any of its agents harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its request the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same Series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security.
Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, 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 and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.
Every new Security of any Series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of that Series duly issued hereunder.
The provisions of this Section are 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 2.9. Outstanding Securities.
The Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest on a Global Security effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof and those described in this Section as not outstanding.
If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.8, it ceases to be outstanding until the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser.
If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) holds on the Maturity of Securities of a Series money sufficient to pay such Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities of the Series cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.
11
The Company may purchase or otherwise acquire the Securities, whether by open market purchases, negotiated transactions or otherwise. A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Security.
In determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Securities have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, the principal amount of a Discount Security that shall be deemed to be outstanding for such purposes shall be the amount of the principal thereof that would be due and payable as of the date of such determination upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.2.
Section 2.10. Treasury Securities.
In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities of a Series have concurred in any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, Securities of a Series owned by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company shall be disregarded, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver only Securities of a Series for which the Trustee has received an Officers Certificate shall be so disregarded.
Section 2.11. Temporary Securities.
Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities upon a Company Order. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee upon receipt of a Company Order shall authenticate definitive Securities of the same Series and date of maturity in exchange for temporary Securities. Until so exchanged, temporary securities shall have the same rights under this Indenture as the definitive Securities.
Section 2.12. Cancellation.
The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall cancel all Securities surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall destroy such canceled Securities (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act and the Trustee) and deliver a certificate of such cancellation to the Company upon written request of the Company. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.
Section 2.13. Defaulted Interest.
If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on a Series of Securities, it shall pay the defaulted interest, plus, to the extent permitted by law, any interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the persons who are Securityholders of the Series on a subsequent special
12
record date. The Company shall fix the record date and payment date. At least 10 days before the special record date, the Company shall mail to the Trustee and to each Securityholder of the Series a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of interest to be paid. The Company may pay defaulted interest in any other lawful manner.
Section 2.14. Global Securities.
2.14.1. Terms of Securities. A Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers Certificate shall establish whether the Securities of a Series shall be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities and the Depositary for such Global Security or Securities.
2.14.2. Transfer and Exchange. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in Section 2.7 of the Indenture and in addition thereto, any Global Security shall be exchangeable pursuant to Section 2.7 of the Indenture for Securities registered in the names of Holders other than the Depositary for such Security or its nominee only if (i) such Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or if at any time such Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and, in either case, the Company fails to appoint a successor Depositary registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act within 90 days of such event or (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee an Officers Certificate to the effect that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable. Any Global Security that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for Securities registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct in writing in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security with like tenor and terms.
Except as provided in this Section 2.14.2, a Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary with respect to such Global Security to a nominee of such Depositary, by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such a successor Depositary.
2.14.3. Legend. Any Global Security issued hereunder shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:
This Security is a Global Security within the meaning of the Indenture hereinafter referred to and is registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary. This Security is exchangeable for Securities registered in the name of a person other than the Depositary or its nominee only in the limited circumstances described in the Indenture, and may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such a successor Depositary.
2.14.4. Acts of Holders. The Depositary, as a Holder, may appoint agents and otherwise authorize participants to give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action which a Holder is entitled to give or take under the Indenture.
13
2.14.5. Payments. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Indenture, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.2, payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on any Global Security shall be made to the Holder thereof.
2.14.6. Consents, Declaration and Directions. The Company, the Trustee and any Agent shall treat a person as the Holder of such principal amount of outstanding Securities of such Series represented by a Global Security as shall be specified in a written statement of the Depositary or by the applicable procedures of such Depositary with respect to such Global Security, for purposes of obtaining any consents, declarations, waivers or directions required to be given by the Holders pursuant to this Indenture.
Section 2.15. CUSIP Numbers.
The Company in issuing the Securities may use CUSIP numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption 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 redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other elements of identification printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.
ARTICLE III.
REDEMPTION
Section 3.1. Notice to Trustee.
The Company may, with respect to any Series of Securities, reserve the right to redeem and pay the Series of Securities or may covenant to redeem and pay the Series of Securities or any part thereof prior to the Stated Maturity thereof at such time and on such terms as provided for in such Securities. If a Series of Securities is redeemable and the Company wants or is obligated to redeem prior to the Stated Maturity thereof all or part of the Series of Securities pursuant to the terms of such Securities, it shall notify the Trustee in writing of the redemption date and the principal amount of Series of Securities to be redeemed. The Company shall give the notice at least 15 days before the redemption date.

The Trustee shall make the selection from Securities of the Series outstanding not previously called for redemption. The Trustee may select for redemption portions of the principal of Securities of the
14
Series that have denominations larger than $1,000. Securities of the Series and portions of them it selects shall be in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 or, with respect to Securities of any Series issuable in other denominations pursuant to Section 2.2.10, the minimum principal denomination for each Series and the authorized integral multiples thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities of a Series called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities of that Series called for redemption.
Section 3.3. Notice of Redemption.
Unless otherwise indicated for a particular Series by Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers Certificate, at least 15 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail to each Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed.
The notice shall identify the Securities of the Series to be redeemed and shall state:
(a) the redemption date;
(b) the redemption price;
(c) the name and address of the Paying Agent;
(d) if any Securities are being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Securities to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date and upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Security shall be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Security;
(e) that Securities of the Series called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;
(f) that interest on Securities of the Series called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date unless the Company defaults in the deposit of the redemption price;
(g) the CUSIP number, if any; and
(h) any other information as may be required by the terms of the particular Series or the Securities of a Series being redeemed.
At the Companys request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Companys name and at its expense, provided, however, that the Company has delivered to the Trustee, at least 10 days (unless a shorter time shall be acceptable to the Trustee) prior to the notice date, an Officers Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice.
15
Section 3.4. Effect of Notice of Redemption.
Once notice of redemption is mailed as provided in Section 3.3, Securities of a Series called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price. Except as otherwise provided in the supplemental indenture, Board Resolution or Officers Certificate for a Series, a notice of redemption may not be conditional. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the redemption price plus accrued interest to the redemption date.
Section 3.5. Deposit of Redemption Price.
On or before 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest, if any, on all Securities to be redeemed on that date.

The Company also shall comply with the other provisions of TIA § 314(a). Reports, information and documents filed with the SEC via the EDGAR system will be deemed to be delivered to the Trustee as of the time of such filing via EDGAR for purposes of this Section 4.2.
Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee under this Section 4.2 are for informational purposes only and the Trustees receipt of the foregoing shall not constitute constructive or actual notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Companys compliance with any of their covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers Certificates).
16
Section 4.3. Compliance Certificate.
To the extent any Securities of a Series are outstanding, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, an Officers Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his/her knowledge the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions hereof (or, if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which the Officer may have knowledge).

Section 4.5. Corporate Existence.
Subject to Article V, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and rights (charter and statutory); provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right if the Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders.

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any Series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default referred to in Section 6.1(d)
19
or (e)) then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series may declare the principal amount (or, if any Securities of that Series are Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such Securities) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all of the Securities of that Series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(d) or (e) shall occur, the principal amount (or specified amount) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all outstanding Securities shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.
At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to any Series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that Series, other than the non-payment of the principal and interest, if any, of Securities of that Series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 6.13.
No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
Section 6.3. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.
The Company covenants that if
(a) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or
(b) default is made in the payment of principal of any Security at the Maturity thereof, or
(c) default is made in the deposit of any sinking fund payment, if any, when and as due by the terms of a Security,
then, the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal and any overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, 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.
If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or
20
final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or deemed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated.
If an Event of Default with respect to any Securities of any Series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee at the written direction of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such Series by such appropriate judicial proceedings to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.
Section 6.4. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.
In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,
(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such 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 of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and
(b) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same,
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official 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 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 7.7.
Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder 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.
21
Section 6.5. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities.
All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.
Section 6.6. Application of Money Collected.
Any money or property collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money or property on account of principal or interest, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:
First: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7; and
Second: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and interest on the Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal and interest, respectively; and
Third: To the Company.
Section 6.7. Limitation on Suits.
No Holder of any Security of any Series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless
(a) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that Series;

22
(e) 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 principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series;
it being understood, intended and expressly covenanted by the Holder of every Security with every other Holder and the Trustee that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all such Holders of the applicable Series.
Section 6.8. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal and Interest.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on such Security on the Maturity of such Security, including the Stated Maturity expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the redemption date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.
Section 6.9. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.
If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.
Section 6.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.
Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in Section 2.8, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not, to the extent permitted by law, prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
Section 6.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.
No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.
23
Section 6.12. Control by Holders.

(b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction,
(c) subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability, and
(d) prior to taking any action as directed under this Section 6.12, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
Section 6.14. Undertaking for Costs.
All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, 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, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the

Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Security of any Series, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as its corporate trust committee or a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Securityholders of that Series.

If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money deposited with respect to Securities of any Series in accordance with Section 8.1 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the obligations of the Company under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such Series and under the Securities of such Series shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.1 until such time as the Trustee or the Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.1; provided, however, that if the Company has made any payment of principal of or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.
ARTICLE IX.
AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS
Section 9.1. Without Consent of Holders.
The Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities of one or more Series without the consent of any Securityholder:
(a) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;
(b) to comply with Article V;
(c) to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities;
35
(d) to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Securityholder;
(e) to provide for the issuance of and establish the form and terms and conditions of Securities of any Series as permitted by this Indenture;
(f) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more Series and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee; or
(g) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA.
Section 9.2. With Consent of Holders.
The Company and the Trustee may enter into a supplemental indenture with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of each Series affected by such supplemental indenture (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Securities of such Series), for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Securityholders of each such Series. Except as provided in Section 6.13, the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series by notice to the Trustee (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Securities of such Series) may waive compliance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Securities with respect to such Series.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Securities under this Section 9.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. After a supplemental indenture or waiver under this section becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders of Securities affected thereby, a notice briefly describing the supplemental indenture or waiver. Any failure by the Company to mail or publish such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver.
Section 9.3. Limitations.
Without the consent of each Securityholder affected, an amendment or waiver may not:
(a) reduce the principal amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;
(b) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest (including default interest) on any Security;
36
(c) reduce the principal or change the Stated Maturity of any Security or reduce the amount of, or postpone the date fixed for, the payment of any sinking fund or analogous obligation;
(d) reduce the principal amount of Discount Securities payable upon acceleration of the maturity thereof;
(e) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of or interest, if any, on any Security (except a rescission of acceleration of the Securities of any Series by the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such Series and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);
(f) make the principal of or interest, if any, on any Security payable in any currency other than that stated in the Security;
(g) make any change in Sections 6.8, 6.13 or 9.3 (this sentence); or
(h) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Security, provided that such redemption is made at the Companys option.
Section 9.4. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.
Every amendment to this Indenture or the Securities of one or more Series shall be set forth in a supplemental indenture hereto that complies with the TIA as then in effect.
Section 9.5. Revocation and Effect of Consents.
Until an amendment is set forth in a supplemental indenture or a waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Security is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holders Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to his Security or portion of a Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date of the supplemental indenture or the date the waiver becomes effective.
Any amendment or waiver once effective shall bind every Securityholder of each Series affected by such amendment or waiver unless it is of the type described in any of clauses (a) through (h) of Section 9.3. In that case, the amendment or waiver shall bind each Holder of a Security who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holders Security.
Section 9.6. Notation on or Exchange of Securities.
The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment or waiver on any Security of any Series thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for Securities of that Series may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate upon request new Securities of that Series that reflect the amendment or waiver.
37
Section 9.7. Trustee Protected.
In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, including pursuant to Section 9.1, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 7.1) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both complying with Sections 10.4 and 10.5. The Trustee shall sign all supplemental indentures upon delivery of such an Officers Certificate or Opinion of Counsel or both, except that the Trustee need not sign any supplemental indenture that adversely affects its rights.

SINKING FUNDS
Section 11.1. Applicability of Article.
The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of the Securities of a Series if so provided by the terms of such Securities PURSUANT TO Section 2.2 and except as otherwise permitted or required by any form of Security of such Series issued pursuant to this Indenture.
The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of the Securities of any Series is herein referred to as a mandatory sinking fund payment and any other amount provided for by the terms of Securities of such Series is herein referred to as an optional sinking fund payment. If provided for by the terms of Securities of any Series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 11.2. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any Series as provided for by the terms of the Securities of such Series.
Section 11.2. Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.
The Company may, in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of any Series to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities (1) deliver outstanding Securities of such Series to which such sinking fund payment is applicable (other than any of such Securities previously called for mandatory sinking fund redemption) and (2) apply as credit Securities of such Series to which such sinking fund payment
43
is applicable and which have been repurchased by the Company or redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Series of Securities (except pursuant to any mandatory sinking fund) or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments or other optional redemptions pursuant to the terms of such Securities, provided that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received by the Trustee, together with an Officers Certificate with respect thereto, not later than 15 days prior to the date on which the Trustee begins the process of selecting Securities for redemption, and shall be credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. If as a result of the delivery or credit of Securities in lieu of cash payments pursuant to this Section 11.2, the principal amount of Securities of such Series to be redeemed in order to exhaust the aforesaid cash payment shall be less than $100,000, the Trustee need not call Securities of such Series for redemption, except upon receipt of a Company Order that such action be taken, and such cash payment shall be held by the Trustee or a Paying Agent and applied to the next succeeding sinking fund payment, provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall from time to time upon receipt of a Company Order pay over and deliver to the Company any cash payment so being held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of Securities of that Series purchased by the Company having an unpaid principal amount equal to the cash payment required to be released to the Company.
Section 11.3. Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.
Not less than 45 days (unless otherwise indicated in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers Certificate in respect of a particular Series of Securities) prior to each sinking fund payment date for any Series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment for that Series pursuant to the terms of that Series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting of Securities of that Series pursuant to Section 11.2, and the optional amount, if any, to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, and the Company shall thereupon be obligated to pay the amount therein specified. Not less than 30 days (unless otherwise indicated in the Board Resolution, Officers Certificate or supplemental indenture in respect of a particular Series of Securities) before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 3.2 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 3.3. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6.

The Company shall pay interest (i) on any Physical Notes at the office of the Trustee, or at the Companys option, by check mailed to the Holders registered address (or, if requested by a Holder of more than $1,000,000 principal amount of Notes, by wire transfer to the account designated by such holder); and (ii) on any Global Note by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee.
(c) Any Defaulted Amounts shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant payment date but shall accrue interest per annum at the rate borne by the Notes, subject to the enforceability thereof under applicable law, from, and including, such relevant payment date, and such Defaulted Amounts together with such interest thereon shall be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (i) or (ii) below:
(i) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Amounts to the persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Amounts, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of the Defaulted Amounts proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment (which shall be not less than 25 days after the receipt by the Trustee of such notice, unless the Trustee shall consent in writing to an earlier date), and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Amounts or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the persons entitled to such Defaulted Amounts as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Company shall fix a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Amounts which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment, and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of such special record date and the Trustee, in the name and at the
13
expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Amounts and the special record date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder at its address as it appears in the Note Register, not less than 10 days prior to such special record date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Amounts and the special record date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Amounts shall be paid to the persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on such special record date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (ii) of this Section 2.04(c).
(ii) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Amounts in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed or designated for issuance, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange or automated quotation system, if, after written notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.
Section 2.05. Exchange and Registration of Transfer of Notes; Depositary.
(a) The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a register (the register maintained in such office or in any other office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 4.02, the Note Register) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers of Notes. Such register shall be in written form or in any form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable period of time. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed the Note Registrar for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. The Company may appoint one or more co-Note Registrars in accordance with Section 4.02.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note to the Note Registrar or any co-registrar, and satisfaction of the requirements for such transfer set forth in this Section 2.05, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by this Supplemental Indenture.
Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at any such office or agency maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 4.02. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive, bearing registration numbers not contemporaneously outstanding.
14
All Notes presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange, repurchase or conversion shall (if so required by the Company, the Trustee, the Note Registrar or any co-Note Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and duly executed, by the Holder thereof or its attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing.
No service charge shall be imposed by the Company, the Trustee, the Note Registrar or any co-Note Registrar for any exchange or registration of transfer of Notes, but the Company or the Trustee may require a Holder to pay a sum sufficient to cover any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax required by law or permitted pursuant to Section 8.02(d) or Section 8.02(e).
None of the Company, the Trustee, the Note Registrar or any co-Note Registrar shall be required to exchange or register a transfer of (i) any Notes surrendered for conversion or, if a portion of any Note is surrendered for conversion, such portion thereof surrendered for conversion or (ii) any Notes, or a portion of any Note, surrendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn) in accordance with Article 9.
All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with this Supplemental Indenture shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Supplemental Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
(b) So long as the Notes are eligible for book-entry settlement with the Depositary, unless otherwise required by law, all Notes shall be represented by one or more global Securities to which the provisions of Section 2.14 of the Base Indenture apply (each, a Global Note) registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in a Global Note that does not involve the issuance of a Physical Note shall be effected through the Depositary (but not the Trustee or the Custodian) in accordance with the Indenture (including the restrictions on transfer set forth herein) and the procedures of the Depositary therefor.
(c) The Depositary shall be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act. The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company to act as Depositary with respect to each Global Note. Initially, each Global Note shall be issued to the Depositary, registered in the name of Cede & Co., as the nominee of the Depositary, and deposited with the Trustee as custodian for Cede & Co.
(d) Section 2.14.2 of the Base Indenture is hereby amended and restated in full, with respect to the Notes, to read as follows:
If (i) the Depositary notifies the Company at any time that the Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Global Notes and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 days, (ii) the Depositary ceases to be registered as a clearing agency under the
15
Exchange Act and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 days or (iii) an Event of Default with respect to the Notes has occurred and is continuing and a beneficial owner of any Note requests that its beneficial interest therein be issued as a Physical Note, the Company shall, in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary, execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officers Certificate and a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of Notes, shall authenticate and deliver (x) in the case of clause (iii), a Physical Note to such beneficial owner in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Note corresponding such beneficial owners beneficial interest and (y) in the case of clause (i) or (ii), Physical Notes to each beneficial owner of the related Global Notes (or a portion thereof) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Global Notes in exchange for such Global Notes, and upon delivery of the Global Notes to the Trustee such Global Notes shall be canceled.
Section 2.06. Cancellation of Notes Paid, Converted, Etc.
The Company shall cause all Notes surrendered for the purpose of payment, repurchase, registration of transfer or exchange or conversion, if surrendered to the Company or the Companys Agents, Subsidiaries or Affiliates, to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to Section 2.12 of the Base Indenture. All Notes delivered to the Trustee shall be canceled promptly by it and may not be reissued or resold, and no Notes shall be authenticated in exchange thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of the Indenture. The Trustee shall dispose of canceled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures and, after such disposition, shall deliver a certificate of such disposition to the Company, at the Companys written request in a Company Order. If the Company shall acquire any of the Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption, repurchase or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.
Section 2.07. Additional Notes; Repurchases.
The Company may, without the consent of the Holders and notwithstanding Section 2.01, reopen this Supplemental Indenture and issue additional Notes hereunder with the same terms and with the same CUSIP number as the Notes initially issued hereunder in an unlimited aggregate principal amount; provided that if any such additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes initially issued hereunder for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such additional Notes shall have a separate CUSIP number. Prior to the issuance of any such additional Notes, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a Company Order, an Officers Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, such Officers Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to cover such matters required by Section 10.5 of the Base Indenture. In addition, the Company may, to the extent permitted by law, and directly or indirectly (regardless of whether such Notes are surrendered to the Company), repurchase Notes in the open market or otherwise, whether by the Company or its Subsidiaries or through a private or public tender or exchange offer or through counterparties to private agreements, including by cash-settled swaps or other derivatives. The Company shall cause any Notes so repurchased (other than Notes repurchased pursuant to cash-settled swaps or other derivatives) to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation in accordance with Section 2.06 and they will no longer be considered outstanding under the indenture upon their repurchase.

The Company may also from time to time designate as co-Note Registrars one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in The City of New York, for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. The terms Paying Agent and Conversion Agent include any such additional or other offices or agencies, as applicable.

(d) Any money and shares of Common Stock deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) or interest has become due and payable shall, subject to the requirements of any applicable abandoned property laws, be paid to the Company on request of the Company contained in an Officers Certificate, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such
19
Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money and shares of Common Stock, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease.

Delivery of the reports and documents described in this Section 4.05 to the Trustee is for informational purposes only, and the Trustees receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Companys compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to conclusively rely on an Officers Certificate).
Section 4.06. Further Instruments and Acts.
Upon request of the Trustee, the Company will execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Supplemental Indenture.

Section 5.02. Acceleration, Rescission and Annulment.
This Section 5.02 shall, with respect to the Notes, supersede in its entirety Section 6.1 of the Base Indenture and all references in the Base Indenture to Section 6.1 thereof shall, with respect to the Notes, be deemed to be references to this Section 5.02. In case one or more Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body), then, and in each and every such case (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(i) or Section 5.01(j) with respect to the Company or any Significant Subsidiaries), unless the principal of all of the Notes shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), may declare 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all the Notes to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall automatically be immediately due and payable, anything contained in the Indenture or in the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding. If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(i) or Section 5.01(j) with respect to the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries occurs and is continuing, 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, all Notes shall become and shall automatically be immediately due and payable.
The immediately preceding paragraph, however, is subject to the conditions that if, at any time after the principal of the Notes shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the monies due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Company shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay installments of accrued and unpaid interest upon all Notes and the principal of any and all Notes that shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on overdue installments of accrued and unpaid interest to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law, and on such principal at the rate borne by the Notes) and amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.7 of the Base Indenture and if (1) rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) any and all existing Events of Default under this Supplemental Indenture, other than the nonpayment of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on Notes that shall have become due solely by such acceleration, shall have been cured or waived pursuant to Section 5.10, then and in every such case (except as provided in the immediately succeeding sentence) the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may waive all Defaults or Events of Default with respect to the Notes and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences and such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Supplemental Indenture; but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent Default or Event of Default, or shall impair any right consequent thereon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no such waiver or
22
rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any Default or Event of Default resulting from (i) the nonpayment of the principal of, or accrued and unpaid interest on, any Notes or (ii) a failure to pay or deliver, as the case may be, the consideration due upon conversion of the Notes.
Section 5.03. Additional Interest.
Notwithstanding anything in the Indenture or in the Notes to the contrary, to the extent the Company elects, the sole remedy for Event of Default relating to the Companys failure to comply with its obligations as set forth in Section 4.05 shall after the occurrence of such an Event of Default consist exclusively of the right to receive Additional Interest on the Notes at a rate equal to (x) 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding for each day during the 180-day period on which such Event of Default is continuing beginning on, and including, the date on which such an Event of Default first occurs to, but not including, the 181st day thereafter and (y) 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding for each day during the 180-day period on which such Event of Default is continuing beginning on, and including, the 181st day after date on which such Event of Default first occurs to, but not including, the 361st day thereafter (or, if applicable, in either (x) or (y), the earlier date on which the Event of Default relating to the obligations set forth in Section 4.05 is cured or waived). If the Company so elects, such Additional Interest shall be payable in the same manner and on the same dates as regular interest on the Notes. On the 361st day after such Event of Default (if the Event of Default relating to the Companys failure to comply with its obligations as set forth in Section 4.05 is not cured or waived prior to such 361st day), the Notes will be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 5.02. In the event that the Company does not elect to pay Additional Interest following an Event of Default in accordance with this Section 5.03, the Notes shall be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 5.02.
In order to elect to pay Additional Interest as the sole remedy during the first 360 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default relating to the failure to comply with the reporting obligations in accordance with Section 4.05, the Company must notify in writing all Holders of the Notes, the Trustee and the Paying Agent of such election on or before the close of business on the date on which such Event of Default would otherwise occur. Upon the failure to timely give such notice, the Notes shall be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in Section 5.02.
In no event shall Additional Interest accrue under the terms of this Supplemental Indenture at a rate per year in excess of 0.50%, regardless of the number of events or circumstances giving rise to the requirement to pay such Additional Interest.
The Trustee shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine Additional Interest, or with respect to the nature, extent or calculation of the amount of Additional Interest owed, or with respect to the method employed in such calculation of Additional Interest.
23
Section 5.04. Payments of Notes on Default; Suit Therefor.
If an Event of Default described in clause (a) or (b) of Section 5.01 shall have occurred, the Company shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest, if any, with interest on any overdue principal and interest, if any, at the rate borne by the Notes at such time, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover any amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.7 of the Base Indenture. If the Company shall fail to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes, wherever situated.
In the event there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for the reorganization of the Company or any other obligor on the Notes under title 11 of the United States Code, or any other applicable law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Company or such other obligor, the property of the Company or such other obligor, or in the event of any other judicial proceedings relative to the Company or such other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Company or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.04, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, in respect of the Notes, and, in case of any judicial proceedings, to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents and to take such other actions as it may deem 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 of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any other obligor on the Notes, its or their creditors, or its or their property, and to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute the same after the deduction of any amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.7 of the Base Indenture; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, custodian or similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Holders to make such payments to the Trustee, as administrative expenses, 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 it for reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements, including agents and counsel fees, and including any other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.7 of the Base Indenture, incurred by it up to the date of such distribution. To the extent that such payment of reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements out of the estate 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, monies, securities and other property that the Holders of the Notes may be entitled to receive in such proceedings, whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.
24
Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting such Holder 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.
All rights of action and of asserting claims under the Indenture, or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes, or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes.
In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and in any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of the Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party) the Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Notes, and it shall not be necessary to make any Holders of the Notes parties to any such proceedings.
In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under the Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of any waiver or any rescission and annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Company, the Holders, and the Trustee shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company, the Holders, and the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.
Section 5.05. Application of Monies Collected by Trustee.
Section 6.6 of the Base Indenture is hereby amended and restated in full, with respect to the Notes, to read as follows:
Any monies collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 5 with respect to the Notes shall be applied in the order following, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such monies, upon presentation of the several Notes, and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof, if fully paid:
First, to the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7 of the Base Indenture;
Second, in case the principal of the outstanding Notes shall not have become due and be unpaid, to the payment of interest on, and any cash due upon conversion of, the Notes in default in the order of the date due of the payments of such interest and cash due upon conversion, as the
25
case may be, with interest (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon such overdue payments at the rate borne by the Notes at such time, such payments to be made ratably to the persons entitled thereto;
Third, in case the principal of the outstanding Notes shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, and be unpaid to the payment of the whole amount (including, if applicable, the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and any cash due upon conversion) then owing and unpaid upon the Notes for principal and interest, if any, with interest on the overdue principal and, to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee, upon overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by the Notes at such time, and in case such monies shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amounts so due and unpaid upon the Notes, then to the payment of such principal (including, if applicable, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the cash due upon conversion) and interest without preference or priority of principal over interest, or of interest over principal or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or of any Note over any other Note, ratably to the aggregate of such principal (including, if applicable, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and any cash due upon conversion) and accrued and unpaid interest; and
Fourth, to the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company.
Section 5.06. Proceedings by Holders
Section 6.7 of the Base Indenture is hereby amended and restated in full, with respect to the Notes, to read as follows:
Except to enforce the right to convert its Notes or to receive payment of principal (including, if applicable, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price) or interest when due, or the right to receive payment or delivery of the consideration due upon conversion, no Holder of any Note shall have any right by virtue of or by availing of any provision of the Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to the Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator, custodian or other similar official, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:
(a) such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof, as herein provided;
(b) Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder;
(c) such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee such security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense to be incurred therein or thereby;
(d) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding; and
26
(e) no direction that, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee by the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding within such 60-day period pursuant to Section 6.12 of the Base Indenture,
it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker and Holder of every Note with every other taker and Holder and the Trustee that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of or by availing of any provision of the Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holder, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under the Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders (except as otherwise provided herein) (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders). For the protection and enforcement of this Section 5.06, each and every Holder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture and any provision of any Note, the right of any Holder to convert its Notes or to receive payment or delivery, as the case may be, of (x) the principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, (y) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, and (z) the consideration due upon conversion of, such Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in such Note or in the Indenture, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment or delivery, as the case may be, on or after such respective dates against the Company shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.
Section 5.07. [Reserved.]
Section 5.08. [Reserved.]
Section 5.09. [Reserved.]
Section 5.10. Waiver of Past Defaults.
Section 6.13 of the Base Indenture is hereby amended and restated in full, with respect to the Notes, to read as follows:
The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any past Default or Event of Default hereunder and its consequences except (i) a default in the payment of accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, or the principal (including any Fundamental Change Repurchase Price) of, the Notes when due, (ii) a failure by the Company to pay or deliver the consideration due upon
27
conversion of the Notes within the time period required by the Indenture; provided, however, that the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may rescind acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default or delivery default that resulted from acceleration, or (iii) a default in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article 6 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each Holder of an outstanding Note affected. Upon any such waiver the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Whenever any Default or Event of Default hereunder shall have been waived as permitted by this Section 5.10, said Default or Event of Default shall for all purposes of the Notes and the Indenture be deemed to have been cured and to be not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
Section 5.11. Statement of Compliance and Notice to Holders of the Notes.
The Company shall, within 120 days after the end of the Companys fiscal year, furnish to the Trustee a statement as to compliance with the provisions of the Indenture. If a Default or an Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the Notes and if it is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder of the Notes notice of a Default or an Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs. The Trustee may withhold notice to the Holders of the Notes of any Default or Event of Default (except in payment on any Note or payment or delivery of the consideration due upon conversion of any Note) with respect to the Notes if the Trustee determines in good faith that withholding notice is in the interest of the Holders of the Notes.

The provisions in this Article 7 shall, with respect to the Notes, supersede in their entirety Article V of the Base Indenture, and all references in the Base Indenture to Article V thereof shall, with respect to the Notes, be deemed to be references to this Article 7.
Section 7.02. Company May Consolidate, Etc. on Certain Terms.
Subject to the provisions of Section 7.03, the Company shall not consolidate with, merge with or into, or sell, convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its properties and assets to another person, unless:
(a) the resulting, surviving or transferee person (the Successor Company), if not the Company, shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, and the Successor Company (if not the Company) shall expressly assume, by supplemental indenture all of the obligations of the Company under the Notes and the Indenture; and
(b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Indenture.
For purposes of this Section 7.02, the sale, conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of one or more Subsidiaries of the Company to another person, which properties and assets, if held by the Company instead of such Subsidiaries, would constitute all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company on a consolidated basis, shall be deemed to be the sale, conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company to another person.

ARTICLE 8
CONVERSION OF NOTES
Section 8.01. Conversion Privilege.
(a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article 8, each Holder of a Note shall have the right, at such Holders option, to convert all or any portion
31
(if the portion to be converted is $1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple thereof) of such Note (i) subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in Section 8.01(b), at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding March 1, 2017 under the circumstances and during the periods set forth in Section 8.01(b), and (ii) irrespective of the conditions described in Section 8.01(b), on or after March 1, 2017 and prior to the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, in each case, at an initial conversion rate of 21.2427 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 8.04, the Conversion Rate) per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (subject to the settlement provisions of Section 8.02, the Conversion Obligation).
(b) (i) If, prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding March 1, 2017, the Trading Price for the Notes, as determined following a request by a Holder of Notes in accordance with this subsection (b)(i), on each Trading Day during any ten consecutive Trading-Day period (the Measurement Period) is less than less than 98% of the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on such date multiplied by the then current Conversion Rate, a Holder may surrender Notes for conversion at any time during the following five consecutive Trading Days. The Trading Prices shall be determined by the Bid Solicitation Agent pursuant to this subsection (b)(i) and the definition of Trading Price set forth in this Supplemental Indenture. The Company shall provide written notice to the Bid Solicitation Agent of the three independent nationally recognized securities dealers selected by the Company pursuant to the definition of Trading Price, along with appropriate contact information for each. The Bid Solicitation Agent shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes unless the Company has requested such determination, and the Company shall have no obligation to make such request unless a Holder of at least $2,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes provides the Company with reasonable evidence that the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes would be less than 98% of the product of the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock and the Conversion Rate, at which time the Company shall instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent to determine the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes beginning on the next Trading Day and on each of the next four Trading Days. If the Company does not instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent to determine the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes when obligated as provided in the preceding sentence, or if the Company instructs the Bid Solicitation Agent to obtain bids and the Bid Solicitation Agent fails to make such determination, then, in either case, the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be deemed to be less than 98% of the product of the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock and the Conversion Rate on each Trading Day of such failure. If, at any time after the Trading Price condition set forth above has been met, the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes is greater than or equal to 98% of the product of the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock and the applicable Conversion Rate, the Bid Solicitation Agent on behalf of the Company shall so notify the Holders of the Notes, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing.
32
(ii) If, prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding March 1, 2017:
(A) the Company issues or distributes to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock any rights or warrants entitling them for a period of not more than 60 calendar days after date of distribution to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock, at less than the Average Market Price of the Common Stock on the announcement date of such distribution;
(B) the Company issues or distributes to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock the Companys assets (including cash), debt securities or rights to purchase securities of the Company, which distribution has a per share value, as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors, exceeding 10% of the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the announcement date of such distribution; or
(C) there occurs (a) a Fundamental Change, (b) a Make-Whole Adjustment Event, (c) a transaction or event that would have constituted a Fundamental Change but for the Listed Stock Exception or (d) a consolidation, merger or binding share exchange that does not also constitute a Fundamental Change, in each case pursuant to which the Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities or other property (any such occurrence in sub-clauses (a) through (d), a Specified Corporate Change);
then the Company shall notify all Holders and the Trustee at least 35 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance or distribution or within 20 Business Days after the occurrence of the Specified Corporate Change (but in no event later than the date, if any, on which the Company publicly announces such Specified Corporate Change), as the case may be. Once the Company has given such notice, the Notes may be surrendered for conversion at any time until either (a) in the case of an issuance or distribution, the earlier of the close of business on the business day prior to such Ex-Dividend Date or the Companys announcement that such issuance or distribution will not take place, or (b) in the case of a Specified Corporate Change, the close of business on the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, or if such Specified Corporate Change does not constitute a Fundamental Change, the close of business on the date 35 Business Days after the actual effective date of such Specified Corporate Change.
In the case of an issuance or distribution, no conversion pursuant to that issuance or distribution will be allowed if Holders of the Notes will participate in that issuance or distribution, without conversion of the Notes, on the same terms and at the same time as a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the principal amount of a Holders Notes divided by $1,000 and multiplied by the Conversion Rate would participate.
33
For purposes of (A) and (B) of this clause (ii), the distribution of rights, options or warrants described in Section 8.04(c) as to which a Trigger Event may occur to holders of Common Stock will not constitute a distribution of rights or warrants by the Company. However, the occurrence of a Trigger Event will be deemed to be a distribution of such rights, options or warrants by the Company to all holders of the Common Stock.
For purposes of (A) of this clause (ii), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders of the Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at less than such average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the applicable 10 consecutive Trading-Day, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise thereof, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
(iii) Prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding March 1, 2017, all or any portion of a Holders Notes may be surrendered for conversion during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2012 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock, for at least 20 Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on the last Trading Day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter in which the conversion occurs, is more than 130% of the Conversion Price on each applicable Trading Day. The Conversion Agent, on behalf of the Company, shall determine at the beginning of each calendar quarter commencing after September 30, 2012 whether the Notes may be surrendered for conversion in accordance with this clause (iii) and shall notify the Company and the Trustee if the Notes become convertible in accordance with this clause (iii).
Section 8.02. Conversion Procedure; Settlement Upon Conversion.
(a) Except as provided in Section 8.03(b) and Section 8.07(a), upon conversion of any Note, on the third Business Day immediately following the last Trading Day of the relevant Conversion Period, the Company shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, through the Conversion Agent, to the converting Holder, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted, a Settlement Amount equal to the sum of the Daily Settlement Amounts for each of the 30 Trading Days during the applicable Conversion Period for such Note, together with cash, if applicable, in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock in accordance with subsection (j) of this Section 8.02.
(i) All conversions occurring on or after March 1, 2017 shall be settled using the same forms and amounts of consideration. Prior to March 1, 2017, the Company shall use the same forms and amounts of consideration for all conversions occurring on the same Conversion Date, but the Company shall not have any obligation to use the same forms and amounts with respect to conversions that occur on different Trading Days. If the Company elects to settle all or a portion of its Conversion Obligation in excess of the principal portion of the Notes being converted in cash, the Company shall
34
inform converting Holders through the Trustee of such election (the Settlement Notice) no later than the close of business on the Trading Day immediately following the related Conversion Date (or, in the case of any conversions occurring on or after March 1, 2017, no later than March 1, 2017) and the Company shall indicate in such Settlement Notice the percentage of each share issuable upon conversion in excess of the principal portion of the Notes being converted that will be paid in cash (the Cash Percentage). If the Company does not so deliver a Settlement Notice prior to the deadline set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall no longer have the right to elect a Cash Percentage and the Company shall settle its Conversion Obligation by paying cash in respect of the principal portion of the converted Notes and delivering shares of Common Stock in respect of the remainder, if any, of its Conversion Obligation in excess of the aggregate principal portion of the Notes being converted as set forth herein.
(ii) The Daily Settlement Amounts (if applicable), the Daily Net Settlement Amounts (if applicable) and the Daily Conversion Values (if applicable) shall be determined by the Company promptly following the last day of the applicable Conversion Period. Promptly after such determination of the Daily Settlement Amounts, the Daily Net Settlement Amounts or the Daily Conversion Values, as the case may be, and the amount of cash payable in lieu of any fractional share, the Company shall notify the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing of the Daily Settlement Amounts, the Daily Net Settlement Amounts or the Daily Conversion Values, as the case may be, and the amount of cash payable in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock. The Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) shall have no responsibility for any such determination.
(b) Subject to Section 8.02(e), before any Holder of a Note shall be entitled to convert a Note as set forth above, such Holder shall (i) in the case of a Global Note, comply with the procedures of the Depositary in effect at that time and, if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled as set forth in Section 8.02(h) and, if required, pay all transfer and similar taxes, if any, and (ii) in the case of a Physical Note (1) complete, manually sign and deliver an irrevocable notice to the Conversion Agent as set forth in the Form of Notice of Conversion (or a facsimile thereof) (a Notice of Conversion) at the office of the Conversion Agent and state in writing therein the principal amount of Notes to be converted and the name or names (with addresses) in which such Holder wishes the certificate or certificates for any shares of Common Stock to be delivered upon settlement of the Conversion Obligation to be registered, (2) surrender such Notes, duly endorsed to the Company or in blank (and accompanied by appropriate endorsement and transfer documents), at the office of the Conversion Agent, (3) if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents, (4) if required, pay all transfer or similar taxes and (5) if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled as set forth in Section 8.02(h). The Trustee (and, if different, the Conversion Agent) shall notify the Company of any conversion pursuant to this Article 8 on the Conversion Date for such conversion. No Notice of Conversion with respect to any Notes may be surrendered by a Holder thereof if such Holder
35
has also delivered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice to the Company in respect of such Notes and not validly withdrawn such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with Section 9.02.
If more than one Note shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the Conversion Obligation with respect to such Notes shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted thereby) so surrendered.
(c) A Note shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the date (the Conversion Date) that the Holder has complied with the requirements set forth in subsection (b) above. If any shares of Common Stock are due to converting Holders, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued, and deliver to the Conversion Agent or to such Holder, or such Holders nominee or nominees, certificates or a book-entry transfer through the Depositary for the full number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled in satisfaction of the Companys Conversion Obligation.
(d) In case any Note shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or upon the written order of the Holder of the Note so surrendered a new Note or Notes in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Note, without payment of any service charge by the converting Holder but with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge required by law or that may be imposed in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of the new Notes issued upon such conversion being different from the name of the Holder of the old Notes surrendered for such conversion.
(e) If a Holder submits a Note for conversion, the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of any shares of Common Stock upon conversion, unless the tax is due because the Holder requests such shares to be issued in a name other than the Holders name, in which case the Holder shall pay that tax. The Conversion Agent may refuse to deliver the certificates representing the shares of Common Stock being issued in a name other than the Holders name until the Trustee receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax that is due by such Holder in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.
(f) Except as provided in Section 8.04, no adjustment shall be made for dividends on any shares issued upon the conversion of any Note as provided in this Article 14.
(g) Upon the conversion of an interest in a Global Note, the Trustee, or the Custodian at the direction of the Trustee, shall make a notation on such Global Note as to the reduction in the principal amount represented thereby. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any conversion of Notes effected through any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee.
36
(h) Upon conversion, a Holder shall not receive any separate cash payment for accrued and unpaid interest, if any, except as set forth below. The Companys settlement of the Conversion Obligation shall be deemed to satisfy in full its obligation to pay the principal amount of the Note and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Conversion Date. As a result, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Conversion Date shall be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. Upon a conversion of Notes, accrued and unpaid interest will be deemed to be paid first out of the cash paid upon such conversion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Notes are converted after the close of business on a Regular Record Date, Holders of such Notes as of the close of business on such Regular Record Date will receive the full amount of interest payable on such Notes on the corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion. Notes surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date to the open of business on the immediately following Interest Payment Date must be accompanied by funds equal to the amount of interest payable on the Notes so converted; provided that no such payment shall be required (1) for conversions following the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date; (2) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the Business Day immediately following the corresponding Interest Payment Date; or (3) to the extent of any Defaulted Amounts, if any Defaulted Amounts exists at the time of conversion with respect to such Note.
(i) The person in whose name the certificate for any shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion is registered shall be treated as a stockholder of record as of the close of business on the last Trading Day of the related Conversion Period. Upon a conversion of Notes, such person shall no longer be a Holder of such Notes surrendered for conversion.
(j) The Company shall not issue any fractional share of Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes and shall instead pay cash in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock issuable upon conversion based on the Daily VWAP on the Last Trading Day of the applicable Conversion Period. For each Note surrendered for conversion, the full number of shares that shall be issued upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate Daily Settlement Amounts for the applicable Conversion Period, and any fractional shares remaining after such computation shall be paid in cash.
Section 8.03. Increased Conversion Rate Applicable to Certain Notes Surrendered in Connection with Make-Whole Adjustment Events.
(a) If a Make-Whole Adjustment Event occurs prior to the Maturity Date and a Holder elects to convert its Notes in connection with such Make-Whole Adjustment Event, the Company shall, under the circumstances described below, increase the Conversion Rate for the Notes so surrendered for conversion by a number of additional shares of Common Stock (the Additional Shares), as described below. A conversion of Notes shall be deemed for these purposes to be in connection with such Make-Whole Adjustment Event if the applicable Conversion Date occurs during the period from, and including, the
37
Effective Date of the Make-Whole Adjustment Event up to, and including, the Business Day immediately preceding the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (or, in the case of a Make-Whole Adjustment Event that does not also constitute a Fundamental Change, the 25th Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Adjustment Event).
(b) Upon surrender of Notes for conversion in connection with a Make-Whole Adjustment Event, the Company shall satisfy the related Conversion Obligation in accordance with Section 8.02 based on the Conversion Rate as increased to reflect the Additional Shares pursuant to the table below; provided, however, that if, at the effective time of a Make-Whole Adjustment Event described in clause (b) of the definition of Change in Control, the Reference Property is composed entirely of cash, for any conversion of Notes following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Adjustment Event, the Conversion Obligation shall be calculated based solely on the Stock Price for the transaction and shall be deemed to be an amount of cash per $1,000 principal amount of converted Notes equal to the Conversion Rate (including any adjustment for Additional Shares), multiplied by such Stock Price. In such event, the Conversion Obligation will be determined and shall be paid to Holders in cash on the tenth Trading Day following the Conversion Date. The Company shall notify the Holders of Notes of the Effective Date of any Make-Whole Adjustment Event no later than five Business Days after such Effective Date.
(c) The number of Additional Shares, if any, by which the Conversion Rate shall be increased shall be determined by reference to the table below, based on the date on which the Make-Whole Adjustment Event occurs or becomes effective (the Effective Date) and (1) the price paid or deemed to be paid per share of Common Stock in the Change in Control in the case of a Make-Whole Adjustment Event described in clause (b) of the definition of Change in Control, in the event that Common Stock is acquired for cash, or (2) the average of the Closing Sale Prices of Common Stock over the five Trading-Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Effective Date of such other Make-Whole Adjustment Event, in the case of any other Make-Whole Adjustment Event (the Stock Price). The Board of Directors shall make appropriate adjustments to the Stock Price, in its good faith determination, 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, during such five consecutive Trading-Day period.
(d) The Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table below shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate of the Notes is otherwise adjusted. The adjusted Stock Prices shall equal the Stock Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted. The number of Additional Shares set forth in the table below shall be adjusted in the same manner and at the same time as the Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 8.04.
38
(e) The following table sets forth the number of Additional Shares to be received per $1,000 principal amount of Notes pursuant to this Section 8.03 for each Stock Price and Effective Date set forth below:

The exact Stock Prices and Effective Dates may not be set forth in the table above, in which case:
(i) if the Stock Price is between two Stock Prices in the table above or the Effective Date is between two Effective Dates in the table above, the number of Additional Shares shall be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set forth for the higher and lower Stock Prices and the earlier and later Effective Dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year;
(ii) if the Stock Price is greater than $100.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above pursuant to subsection (d) above), no Additional Shares shall be added to the Conversion Rate; and
(iii) if the Stock Price is less than $37.66 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above pursuant to subsection (d) above), no Additional Shares shall be added to the Conversion Rate.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion exceed 26.5533 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 8.04.
(f) Nothing in this Section 8.03 shall prevent an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 8.04 in respect of a Make-Whole Adjustment Event.
Section 8.04. Adjustment of Conversion Rate.
The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company if any of the following events occurs, except that the Company shall not make any adjustments to the Conversion Rate if Holders of the Notes participate in any of the transactions described in this
39
Section 8.04, without conversion of the Notes, on the same terms and at the same time as a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the principal amount of a Holders Notes divided by $1,000 and multiplied by the Conversion Rate would participate
(a) If the Company issues solely shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on all or substantially all of the shares of the Common Stock, or if the Company subdivides or combines the Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
CR' = CR0 | × | OS' |
||||||||
OS0 |
where,
CR0 | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the open of business on the effective date of such subdivision or combination of the Common Stock, as applicable; | ||
CR' | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the open of business on the effective date of such subdivision or combination of the Common Stock, as the case may be; | ||
OS0 | = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the open of business on the effective date of such subdivision or combination of the Common Stock, as the case may be; and | ||
OS' | = | the number of shares of Common Stock that would be outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination of the Common Stock, as the case may be. |
Any adjustment made under this Section 8.04(a) shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the open of business on the effective date for such subdivision or combination of the Common Stock, as the case may be. If such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination described in this Section 8.04(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution or to effect such subdivision or combination, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared or subdivision or combination had not been announced.
40
(b) If an Ex-Dividend Date occurs for a distribution to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock any rights, options or warrants entitling them for a period of not more than 60 calendar days after the announcement date for such distribution to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock, at a price per share less than the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading-Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the announcement date for such distribution, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
CR' = CR0 | × | OS0 + X |
||||||||||
OS0 + Y |
where,
CR0 | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; | ||
CR' | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; | ||
OS0 | = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; | ||
X | = | the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options 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 Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading-Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the announcement date for such distribution. |
Any increase made under this Section 8.04(b) shall be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. To the extent that shares of the Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. If such rights, options or warrants are not so distributed, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution had not occurred.
For purposes of this Section 8.04(b), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders of the Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase shares of the
41
Common Stock at less than such average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the applicable 10 consecutive Trading-Day, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise thereof, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
(c) If an Ex-Dividend Date occurs for a distribution of the Companys Capital Stock, evidences of the Companys indebtedness, other assets or property of the Company or rights, options or warrants to acquire the Companys Capital Stock or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, excluding (i) dividends or distributions and rights, options or warrants as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 8.04(a) or Section 8.04(b), (ii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash, and (iii) Spin-Offs as to which the provisions set forth below in this Section 8.04(c) shall apply (any of such shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, other assets or property or rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock or other securities of the Company, the Distributed Property), then the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
CR' = CR0 | × | SP0 |
||||||||
SP0 FMV |
where,
CR0 | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; | ||
CR' | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; | ||
SP0 | = | the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading-Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and | ||
FMV | = | the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors) of the Distributed Property with respect to each outstanding share of the Common Stock as of the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. |
Any increase made under the portion of this Section 8.04(c) above shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. No adjustment pursuant to the above formula will result in a decrease of the Conversion Rate. However, if such distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if FMV (as defined above) is equal to or greater than SP0 (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of a Note shall receive, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount thereof, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of
42
the Common Stock receive the Distributed Property without having to convert its Notes, the amount and kind of Distributed Property that such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Ex-Dividend Date for the distribution.
With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 8.04(c) where there has been an Ex-Dividend Date for a dividend or other distribution on the 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 unit of the Company, that are, or, when issued, will be, listed or admitted for trading on a U.S. national securities exchange (a Spin-Off), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
CR' = CR0 | × | FMV0 + MP0 |
||||||||
MP0 |
where,
CR0 | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off; | ||
CR' | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off; | ||
FMV0 | = | the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of the Common Stock applicable to one share of the Common Stock (determined by reference to the definition of Closing Sale Price as set forth in Section 1.01 as if references therein to Common Stock were to such Capital Stock or similar equity interest) over the first 10 consecutive Trading-Day period commencing on, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off (the Valuation Period); and | ||
MP0 | = | the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the Valuation Period. |
The adjustment to the Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph shall be determined on the last day of the Valuation Period but will be given effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off. If the Ex-Dividend date for the Spin-Off is less than 10 Trading Days prior to, and including, the end of the Conversion Period in respect of any conversion, references within this clause (c) to 10 Trading Days shall be deemed to be replaced solely in respect of that conversion, with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off to, and including, the last Trading Day of such Conversion Period. In respect of any conversion during the Valuation Period for any Spin-Off, references within this clause (c) related to 10 Trading Days shall be deemed to be replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off to, but excluding, the relevant Conversion Date.
43
For purposes of this Section 8.04(c) (and subject in all respect to Section 8.11), rights, options or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of the Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Companys Capital Stock, including Common Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (Trigger Event): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of the Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of the Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 8.04(c) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 8.04(c) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Rate shall be made under this Section 8.04(c). If any such right, option or warrant, including any such existing rights, options or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Supplemental Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights, options or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and Ex-Dividend Date with respect to new rights, options or warrants with such rights (in which case the existing rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to terminate and expire on such date without exercise by any of the Holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights, options or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the immediately preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 8.04(c) was made, (1) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or purchased without exercise by any Holders thereof, upon such final redemption or purchase (x) the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options or warrants had not been issued and (y) the Conversion Rate shall then again be readjusted to give effect to such distribution, deemed distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or purchase price received by a Holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights, options or warrants (assuming such Holder had retained such rights, options or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or purchase, and (2) in the case of such rights, options or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any Holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options and warrants had not been issued.
For purposes of Section 8.04(a), Section 8.04(b) and this Section 8.04(c), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 8.04(c) is applicable that also includes one or both of:
(A) a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock to which Section 8.04(a) is applicable (the Clause A Distribution); or
44
(B) a dividend or distribution of rights, options or warrants to which Section 8.04(b) is applicable (the Clause B Distribution),
then (1) such dividend or distribution, other than the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution, shall be deemed to be a dividend or distribution to which this Section 8.04(c) is applicable (the Clause C Distribution) and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by this Section 8.04(c) with respect to such Clause C Distribution shall then be made, and (2) the Clause A Distribution and Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to immediately follow the Clause C Distribution and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by Section 8.04(a) and Section 8.04(b) with respect thereto shall then be made, except that, if determined by the Company (I) the Ex-Dividend Date of the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to be the Ex-Dividend Date of the Clause C Distribution and (II) any shares of Common Stock included in the Clause A Distribution or Clause B Distribution shall be deemed not to be outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date within the meaning of Section 8.04(a) or outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date within the meaning of Section 8.04(b).
(d) If an Ex-Dividend Date occurs for a cash dividend or distribution to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, (other than (i) any dividend or distribution in connection with the Companys liquidation, dissolution or winding up and (ii) a regular cash dividend that does not exceed $0.10 per share per quarter (as proportionately adjusted to reflect a change in dividend period) (the Dividend Threshold Amount)) the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
CR' = CR0 |
× | SP0 T |
||||||||
SP0 C |
where,
CR0 | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; | ||
CR' | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; | ||
SP0 | = | the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading-Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; | ||
T | = | the Dividend Threshold Amount; provided that if the dividend or distribution is not a regular cash dividend, the Dividend Threshold Amount will be deemed to be zero; and |
45
C | = | the amount in cash per share the Company pays or distributes to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock. |
The Dividend Threshold Amount is subject to adjustment in a manner inversely proportional to adjustments to the Conversion Rate; provided that no adjustment will be made to the Dividend Threshold Amount for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate made under this Section 8.04(d).
Any increase pursuant to this Section 8.04(d) shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution. No adjustment pursuant to the above formula will result in a decrease of the Conversion Rate. However, if any dividend or distribution described in this Section 8.04(d) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if C (as defined above) is equal to or greater than SP0 (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of a Note shall receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of shares of the Common Stock, without having to convert its Notes, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate on the Ex-Dividend Date for such cash dividend or distribution.
(e) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender or exchange offer for the Common Stock and, if the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of the Common Stock exceeds the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading-Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (the Expiration Date), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
CR' = CR0 | × | AC + (SP'×OS') |
||||||||
OS0 × SP' |
where,
CR0 | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date; | ||
CR' | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date; | ||
AC | = | the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) paid or payable for shares purchased in such tender or exchange offer; |
46
OS0 | = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the time (the Expiration Time) such tender or exchange offer expires (prior to giving effect to such tender or exchange offer); | ||
OS' | = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Expiration Time (after giving effect to such tender or exchange offer); and | ||
SP' | = | the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading-Day period (the Averaging Period) commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date. |
The adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 8.04(e) shall be determined at the close of business on the tenth Trading Day immediately following, but excluding, the Expiration Date but will be given effect immediately at the open of business on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date; provided that if the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date is less than 10 Trading Days prior to, and including, the end of the Conversion Period in respect of any conversion, references within this clause (e) to 10 Trading Days shall be deemed to be replaced solely in respect of that conversion, with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date to, and including, the last Trading Day of such Conversion Period. In respect of any conversion during the 10 Trading Days commencing on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date, references within this clause (e) to 10 Trading Days shall be deemed to be replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date to, but excluding, the relevant Conversion Date. No adjustment pursuant to the above formula will result in a decrease of the Conversion Rate.
(f) [Reserved.]
(g) In addition to those adjustments required by clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 8.04, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a period of at least 20 Business Days so long as the increase is irrevocable during the period and the Board of Directors determines that such increase would be in the Companys best interest. The Company may (but is not required to) increase the Conversion Rate to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock in connection with a dividend or distribution of shares (or rights to acquire shares) or similar event. Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased pursuant to either of the preceding two sentences, the Company shall mail to the Holder of each Note at its last address appearing on the Note Register and the Trustee a notice of the increase at least 15 days prior to the date the increased Conversion Rate takes effect, and such notice shall state the increased Conversion Rate and the period during which it will be in effect.
(h) [Reserved.]
47
(i) If:
(i) the Company elects or is deemed to elect to settle a portion of the Companys Conversion Obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes being converted in shares of Common Stock,
(ii) any distribution or transaction described in clauses (a) to (e) above has not yet resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Rate on the Trading Day in question, and
(iii) the shares received in respect of such Trading Day are not entitled to participate in the relevant distribution or transaction (because they were not held on a related record date or otherwise),
then the Company will adjust the number of shares of Common Stock that it will deliver to a converting Holder in respect of the relevant Trading Day to reflect the relevant distribution or transaction.
(j) The Company shall not be required to make an adjustment pursuant to clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) of this Section 8.04 unless such adjustment would result in a change of at least 1% of the then effective Conversion Rate. However, the Company shall carry forward any adjustment that the Company would otherwise have to make and take that adjustment into account in any subsequent adjustment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all such carried-forward adjustments shall be made with respect to the Notes (i) in connection with any subsequent adjustment to the Conversion Rate of at least 1% of the Conversion Rate (when such carried-forward adjustments are taken into account), and (ii) regardless of whether the aggregate adjustment is less than 1% of the Conversion Rate, (x) on the Conversion Date for any Notes; (y) on each Trading Day of any Conversion Period; and (z) upon any offer by the Company to repurchase the Notes upon a Fundamental Change. All calculations and other determinations under this Article 8 shall be made by the Company and shall be made to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000th) of a share.
(k) Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee (and the Conversion Agent if not the Trustee) an Officers Certificate setting forth the Conversion Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received such Officers Certificate, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment of the Conversion Rate and may assume without inquiry that the last Conversion Rate of which it has knowledge is still in effect. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Company shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective and shall mail such notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate to each Holder at its last address appearing on the Note Register of the Indenture. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.
48
(l) For purposes of this Section 8.04, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company so long as the Company does not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company, but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.
Section 8.05. Adjustments of Prices.
Whenever any provision of the Indenture requires the Company to calculate the Closing Sale Prices, the Daily VWAPs, the Daily Conversion Values, Daily Settlement Amounts or the Stock Price for purposes of a Make-Whole Adjustment Event over a span of multiple days (including a Conversion Period and the period for determining the Stock Price for purposes of a Make-Whole Adjustment Event), the Board of Directors shall make appropriate adjustments 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 such Closing Sale Prices, Daily VWAPs, Daily Conversion Values, Daily Settlement Amounts or Stock Prices are to be calculated.
Section 8.06. Shares to Be Fully Paid.
The Company shall provide, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares or shares held in treasury, sufficient shares of Common Stock to provide for conversion of the Notes from time to time as such Notes are presented for conversion (assuming that at the time of computation of such number of shares, all such Notes would be converted by a single Holder).
Section 8.07. Effect of Recapitalizations, Reclassifications and Changes of the Common Stock.
(a) In the event of:
(i) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination),
(ii) a consolidation, merger, combination or binding share exchange involving the Company,
(iii) a sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition to a another person of the Companys property and assets as an entirety or substantially as an entirety,
in each case (any such event, a Merger Event), in which holders of the Common Stock are entitled to receive cash, securities or other property for their shares of Common Stock (the Reference Property, with each unit of Reference Property meaning the kind and amount of Reference Property that a holder of one share of Common Stock is entitled to receive), then, at and after the effective time of such Merger Event, the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be changed into a right to convert such principal amount of Notes into the
49
kind and amount of shares 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 Merger Event would have owned or been entitled to receive upon such Merger Event and, prior to or at the effective time of such Merger Event, the Company or the successor or purchasing person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture permitted under Article 6 of the Base Indenture providing for such change in the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Notes; provided, however, that at and after the effective time of the Merger Event the Conversion Obligation shall be calculated and settled in accordance with Section 8.02 such that (A) the Company shall continue to have the right to elect to determine the form of consideration to be paid or delivered, as the case may be, in respect of the remainder, if any, of the Conversion Obligation in excess of the principal amount of the Notes being converted as set forth under Section 8.02, (B) the amount otherwise payable in cash upon conversion of the Notes as set forth under Section 8.02 shall continue to be payable in cash, (C) the number of shares of Common Stock, if any, otherwise deliverable upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with Section 8.02 shall instead be deliverable in the amount and type of Reference Property that a holder of that number of shares of Common Stock would have received in such Merger Event and (D) the Daily VWAP shall be calculated based on the value of a unit of Reference Property.
If the Merger Event 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), then (i) the Reference Property into which the Notes will be convertible shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Common Stock that affirmatively make such an election, and (ii) the unit of Reference Property for purposes of the immediately preceding paragraph shall refer to the consideration referred to in clause (i) attributable to one share of Common Stock. If the holders receive only cash in such Merger Event, then for all conversions that occur after the effective date of such Merger Event (x) the consideration due upon conversion of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be solely cash in an amount equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date (as may be increased by any Additional Shares pursuant to Section 8.03), multiplied by the price paid per share of Common Stock in such Merger Event and (y) the Company shall satisfy the Conversion Obligation by paying cash to converting Holders on the tenth Trading Day immediately following the Conversion Date.
Such supplemental indenture described in the second immediately preceding paragraph shall provide for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as is possible to the adjustments provided for in this Article 8, as determined by the Company. If, in the case of any Merger Event, the Reference Property includes shares of stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) of a person other than the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such Merger Event, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other person and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders of the Notes as the Board of Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing, including to the extent required by the Board of Directors and practicable the provisions providing for the purchase rights set forth in Article 9.
50
(b) In connection with any Merger Event, the Dividend Threshold Amount shall be subject to adjustment as described in clause (i), clause (ii) or clause (iii) below, as the case may be.
(i) In the case of a Merger Event in which the Reference Property (determined, as appropriate, pursuant to subsection (a) above and excluding any dissenters appraisal rights) is composed entirely of shares of common stock (the Merger Common Stock), the Dividend Threshold Amount at and after the effective time of such Merger Event will be equal to (x) the Initial Dividend Threshold immediately prior to the effective time of such Merger Event, divided by (y) the number of shares of Merger Common Stock that a holder of one share of Common Stock would receive in such Merger Event (such quotient rounded down to nearest cent).
(ii) In the case of a Merger Event in which the Reference Property (determined, as appropriate, pursuant to subsection (a) above and excluding any dissenters appraisal rights) is composed in part of shares of Merger Common Stock, the Initial Dividend Threshold at and after the effective time of such Merger Event will be equal to (x) the Dividend Threshold Amount immediately prior to the effective time of such Merger Event, multiplied by (y) the Merger Valuation Percentage for such Merger Event (such product rounded down to nearest cent).
(iii) For the avoidance of doubt, in the case of a Merger Event in which the Reference Property (determined, as appropriate, pursuant to subsection (a) above and excluding any dissenters appraisal rights) is composed entirely of consideration other than shares of common stock, the Dividend Threshold Amount at and after the effective time of such Merger Event will be equal to zero.
(c) In the event the Company shall execute a supplemental indenture pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 8.07, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee an Officers Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefore, the kind or amount of cash, securities or property or asset that will comprise the Reference Property after any such Merger Event, any adjustment to be made with respect thereto and that all conditions precedent have been complied with, and shall promptly mail notice thereof to all Holders. The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture, including, if applicable, the weighted average in the second paragraph of subsection (a), to be mailed to each Holder, at its address appearing on the Note Register provided for in the Indenture, within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture.
(d) The Company shall not become a party to any Merger Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 8.07. None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a Holder of Notes to convert its Notes into cash and shares of Common Stock, if any, as set forth in Section 8.01 and Section 8.02 prior to the effective date of such Merger Event.
51
(e) The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive Merger Events.
Section 8.08. Certain Covenants.
(a) The Company covenants that any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Notes will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable by the Company and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.
(b) The Company further covenants that if at any time the Common Stock shall be listed on any national securities exchange or automated quotation system, the Company will use reasonable efforts to list and keep listed, so long as the Common Stock shall be so listed on such exchange or automated quotation system, any Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes.
Section 8.09. Responsibility of Trustee.
The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine the Conversion Rate (or any adjustment thereto) or whether any facts exist that may require any adjustment (including any increase) of the Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock, or of any securities, property or cash that may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Note; and the Trustee and any other Conversion Agent make no representations with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Note for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Article. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to Section 8.07 relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or securities or property (including cash) receivable by Holders upon the conversion of their Notes after any event referred to in such Section 8.07 or to any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of Section 7.1 of the Base Indenture, may accept (without any independent investigation) as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in conclusively relying upon, the Officers Certificate (which the Company shall be obligated to file with the Trustee prior to the execution of any such supplemental indenture) with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor the Conversion Agent shall be responsible for determining whether any event contemplated by Section 8.01(b) has occurred that makes the Notes eligible for conversion or no longer eligible therefor until the Company has delivered to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent the notices referred to in Section 8.01(b) with respect to the commencement or termination of such conversion rights, on which notices the Trustee and the Conversion Agent may conclusively rely, and the Company agrees to deliver
52
such notices to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent immediately after the occurrence of any such event or at such other times as shall be provided for in Section 8.01(b). The Conversion Agent (if other than the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) shall have the same protection under this Section 8.09 as the Trustee.
Section 8.10. Notice to Holders Prior to Certain Actions.
In case of any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, then (unless notice of such event is otherwise required pursuant to another provision of the Indenture) the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) and to be mailed to each Holder at its address appearing on the Note Register, as promptly as possible but in any event at least 20 days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating the date on which such dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.
Section 8.11. Stockholder Rights Plans.
To the extent that the Company has a rights plan (i.e., a poison pill) in effect upon conversion of the Notes, each share of Common Stock, if any, issued upon such conversion shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of rights, if any, and the certificates representing the Common Stock issued upon such conversion shall bear such legends, if any, in each case as may be provided by the terms of any such stockholder rights plan, as the same may be amended from time to time. If at the time of conversion, however, the rights have separated from the shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the applicable stockholder rights plan so that the Holders would not be entitled to receive any rights in respect of Common Stock, if any, issuable upon conversion of the Notes, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company distributed to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock shares of Capital Stock of the Company, evidences of its indebtedness, other assets or property or rights, options or warrants to acquire its Capital Stock or other securities as provided in Section 8.04(c), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.
ARTICLE 9
REPURCHASE OF NOTES AT OPTION OF HOLDERS
Section 9.01. Repurchase at Option of Holders Upon a Fundamental Change.
(a) If a Fundamental Change occurs at any time, each Holder shall have the right, at such Holders option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all of such Holders Notes, or any portion thereof that is equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000, on the date (the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date) specified by the Company that is not less than 20 Business Days or more than 35 Business Days following
53
the date of occurrence of such Fundamental Change at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price), unless the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date falls after a Regular Record Date but on or prior to the Interest Payment Date to which such Regular Record Date relates, in which case the Company shall instead pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest to Holders of record as of such Regular Record Date, and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased pursuant to this Article 9.
(b) Repurchases of Notes under this Section 9.01 shall be made, at the option of the Holder thereof, upon:
(i) delivery to the Paying Agent by a Holder of a duly completed notice (the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice) substantially in the form set forth in Attachment 2 to the form of Note attached hereto as Exhibit A, if the Notes are Physical Notes, or in compliance with the Depositarys procedures for surrendering interests in Global Notes, if the Notes are Global Notes, in each case on or before the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; and
(ii) delivery of the Notes, if the Notes are Physical Notes, to the Paying Agent at any time after delivery of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice (together with all necessary endorsements for transfer) at the Corporate Trust Office of the Paying Agent, or book-entry transfer of the Notes, if the Notes are Global Notes, in compliance with the procedures of the Depositary, in each case such delivery being a condition to receipt by the Holder of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price therefor.
The Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in respect of any Notes to be repurchased shall include:
(i) in the case of Physical Notes, the certificate numbers of the Notes to be delivered for repurchase;
(ii) the portion of the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased, which must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof; and
(iii) that the Notes are to be repurchased by the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Notes and the Indenture;
provided, however, that if the Notes are Global Notes, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice must comply with appropriate Depositary procedures.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to the Paying Agent the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice contemplated by this Section 9.01 shall have
54
the right to withdraw, in whole or in part, such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 9.02.
The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof.
(c) On or before the fifth Business Day after the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Company shall provide to all Holders of Notes and the Trustee and the Paying Agent (in the case of a Paying Agent other than the Trustee) a notice (the Fundamental Change Company Notice) of the occurrence of the Fundamental Change and of the repurchase right at the option of the Holders arising as a result thereof. Such notice shall be by first class mail or, in the case of Global Notes, in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary. Each Fundamental Change Company Notice shall specify:
(i) the events causing the Fundamental Change;
(ii) the effective date of the Fundamental Change, and whether the Fundamental Change is a Make-Whole Adjustment Event, in which case the notice shall state the effective date of the Make-Whole Adjustment Event;
(iii) information about the Holders right to convert the Notes;
(iv) information about the Holders right to require the Company to purchase the Notes;
(v) the last date on which a Holder may exercise the repurchase right pursuant to this Article 9;
(vi) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price;
(vii) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date;
(viii) the name and address of the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent, if applicable;
(ix) if applicable, the Conversion Rate and any adjustments to the Conversion Rate; and
(x) the procedures that Holders must follow to require the Company to repurchase their Notes.
55
No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit the Holders repurchase rights or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to this Section 9.01.
At the Companys written request and upon 15 days prior notice, the Trustee shall give such notice in the Companys name and at the Companys expense; provided, however, that, in all cases, the text of such Fundamental Change Company Notice shall be prepared by the Company.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Notes may be repurchased by the Company on any date at the option of the Holders upon a Fundamental Change if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to such date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such Notes). The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Physical Notes held by it during the acceleration of the Notes (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such Notes), or any instructions for book-entry transfer of the Notes in compliance with the procedures of the Depositary shall be deemed to have been cancelled, and, upon such return or cancellation, as the case may be, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been withdrawn.
Section 9.02. Withdrawal of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice.
(a) A Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice may be withdrawn (in whole or in part) by means of a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the Paying Agent in accordance with this Section 9.02 at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, specifying:
(i) the principal amount of the Notes with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted,
(ii) if Physical Notes have been issued, the certificate number of the Note in respect of which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted, and
(iii) the principal amount, if any, of such Note that remains subject to the original Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, which portion must be in principal amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000;
provided, however, that if the Notes are Global Notes, the notice must comply with appropriate procedures of the Depositary.
56
Section 9.03. Deposit of Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.
(a) The Company will deposit with the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company, or if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 4.04) on or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date an amount of money sufficient to repurchase all of the Notes to be repurchased at the appropriate Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. Subject to receipt of funds and/or Notes by the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company), payment for Notes surrendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date) will be made on the later of (i) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date with respect to such Note (provided the Holder has satisfied the conditions in Section 9.01) and (ii) the time of book-entry transfer or the delivery of such Note to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) by the Holder thereof in the manner required by Section 9.01 by mailing checks for the amount payable to the Holders of such Notes entitled thereto as they shall appear in the Note Register; provided, however, that payments to the Depositary shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee. The Trustee shall, promptly after such payment and upon written demand by the Company, return to the Company any funds in excess of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.
(b) If by 11:00 a.m. New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) holds money sufficient to make payment on all the Notes or portions thereof that are to be repurchased on such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, then (i) such Notes will cease to be outstanding, (ii) interest will cease to accrue on such Notes (whether or not book-entry transfer of the Notes has been made or the Notes have been delivered to the Trustee or Paying Agent) and (iii) all other rights of the Holders of such Notes will terminate (other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price).
(c) Upon surrender of a Note that is to be repurchased in part pursuant to Section 9.01, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder a new Note in an authorized denomination equal in principal amount to the unrepurchased portion of the Note surrendered.
Section 9.04. Covenant to Comply with Applicable Laws Upon Repurchase of Notes.
In connection with any repurchase offer, the Company will, if required:
(a) comply with the provisions of Rule 13e-4, Rule 14e-1 and any other tender offer rules under the Exchange Act, to the extent any such rules are applicable;
(b) file a Schedule TO or any successor or similar schedule, if required, under the Exchange Act; and
(c) otherwise comply with all federal and state securities laws in connection with any offer by the Company to repurchase the Notes upon a Fundamental Change; in each case, so as to permit the rights and obligations under this Article 9 to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified in this Article 9.

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent that shall be authorized to act on its behalf and subject to its direction in the authentication and delivery of Notes in connection with the original issuance thereof and transfers and exchanges of Notes hereunder, including under, Section 2.05, and Section 9.03, and Sections 2.3, 2.8 and 2.11 of the Base Indenture as though the authenticating agent had been expressly authorized by the Indenture and those Sections to authenticate and deliver Notes.

The Trustee will forward the Companys calculations to any Holder upon the written request of that Holder.
Section 10.09. Ratification of Base Indenture.

1.375% Convertible Senior Note due 2017
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Company, designated as its 1.375% Convertible Senior Notes due 2017 (the Notes), initially limited to the aggregate principal amount of $ $500,000,000 all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of May 16, 2012 (the Base Indenture), as amended and supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 16, 2012 (the Supplemental Indenture; the Base Indenture, as amended and supplemented from time to time, the Indenture) between the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (the Trustee), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders of the Notes. Additional Notes may be issued in an unlimited aggregate principal amount, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture. Capitalized terms used in this Note and not defined in this Note shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Indenture.
In the event of certain Events of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(i) or Section 5.01(j) of the Supplemental Indenture with respect to the Company or any Significant Subsidiaries) shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of, and interest on, all Notes may be declared, by either the Trustee or Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, and upon said declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions and certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture. If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(i) or Section 5.01(j) of the Supplemental Indenture with respect to the Company or any Significant Subsidiaries occurs and is continuing, 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, all Notes shall become and shall automatically be immediately due and payable.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company will make all payments and deliveries in respect of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the principal amount on the Maturity Date, as the case may be, to the Holder who surrenders a Note to a Paying Agent to collect such payments in respect of the Note. The Company will pay cash amounts in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.
The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee in certain circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, and in certain other circumstances, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, evidenced as in the Indenture provided, to execute supplemental indentures modifying the terms of the Indenture and the Notes as described therein. It is also provided in the Indenture that, subject to certain exceptions, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any past Default or Event of Default under the Indenture and its consequences.
A-5
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of and accrued and unpaid interest on this Note at the place, at the respective times, at the rate and in the lawful money herein prescribed.
The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 principal amount and integral multiples thereof. At the office or agency of the Company referred to on the face hereof, and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations, without payment of any service charge but, if required by the Company or Trustee, with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer or similar tax that may be imposed in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of the new Notes issued upon such exchange of Notes being different from the name of the Holder of the old Notes surrendered for such exchange.
The Notes are not subject to redemption through the operation of any sinking fund or otherwise.
Upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Holder has the right, at such Holders option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all of such Holders Notes or any portion thereof (in principal amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof) on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date at a price equal to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.
Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder hereof has the right, at its option, during certain periods and upon the occurrence of certain conditions specified in the Indenture, prior to the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, to convert any Notes or portion thereof that is $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, into cash and shares of Common Stock, if any, at the Conversion Rate specified in the Indenture, as adjusted from time to time as provided in the Indenture.
Terms used in this Note and defined in the Indenture are used herein as therein defined.

Re: | Registration Statement No. 333-181292: $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Medicis Pharmaceutical Corporations 1.375% Convertible Senior Notes due 2017 |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special counsel to Medicis Pharmaceutical Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the Company), in connection with the issuance of $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 1.375% Convertible Senior Notes due 2017 (the Notes), convertible into Class A common stock, $0.014 par value per share, of the Company (the Common Stock), including any rights to acquire Common Stock (the Rights) to be issued pursuant to the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement (the Rights Agreement) dated as of August 17, 2005 between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as rights agent, under a base indenture dated as of May 16, 2012, as supplemented by the first supplemental indenture dated as of May 16, 2012 (collectively, the Indenture), in each case, between the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee, and pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Act), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) on May 10, 2012 (Registration No. 333-181292) (the Registration Statement). This opinion is being furnished in connection with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Act, and no opinion is expressed herein as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement or related prospectus, other than as expressly stated herein with respect to the issue of the Notes, the Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes and any associated Rights.
As such counsel, we have examined such matters of fact and questions of law as we have considered appropriate for purposes of this letter. With your consent, we have relied upon certificates and other assurances of officers of the Company and others as to factual matters without having independently verified such factual matters. We are opining herein as to the internal laws of the State of New York, and the general corporation law of the state of Delaware, and we express no opinion with respect to the applicability thereto, or the effect thereon, of the laws of any other jurisdiction or, in the case of Delaware, any other laws, or as to any matters of municipal law or the laws of any local agencies within any state.

Subject to the foregoing and the other matters set forth herein, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof:
(1) The Notes have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company and constitute legally valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.
(2) When certificates (in the form of the specimen certificate most recently filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement) representing the Common Stock initially reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Notes have been manually signed by an authorized officer of the transfer agent and registrar therefor, and have been delivered in accordance with the terms of the authorization thereof and the Indenture upon conversion of the Notes, such Common Stock and any associated Rights will have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company, and the Common Stock and any associated Rights will be validly issued, and the Common Stock will be fully paid, and nonassessable.
Our opinions are subject to: (i) the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, preference, fraudulent transfer, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors; (ii) the effect of general principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law (including the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief), concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, and the discretion of the court before which a proceeding is brought; (iii) the invalidity under certain circumstances under law or court decisions of provisions providing for the indemnification of or contribution to a party with respect to a liability where such indemnification or contribution is contrary to public policy; and (iv) we express no opinion as to (a) any provision for liquidated damages, default interest, late charges, monetary penalties, make-whole premiums or other economic remedies to the extent such provisions are deemed to constitute a penalty, (b) consents to, or restrictions upon, governing law, jurisdiction, venue, arbitration, remedies, or judicial relief, (c) the waiver of rights or defenses contained in Section 4.4 of the Indenture, (d) any provision requiring the payment of attorneys fees, where such payment is contrary to law or public policy, (e) any provision permitting, upon acceleration of the Notes, collection of that portion of the stated principal amount thereof which might be determined to constitute unearned interest thereon, (f) any provision to the extent it requires that a claim with respect to the Notes (or a judgment in respect of such a claim) be converted into U.S. dollars at a rate of exchange at a particular date, to the extent applicable law otherwise provides, (g) advance waivers of claims, defenses, rights granted by law, or notice, opportunity for hearing, evidentiary requirements, statutes of limitation, trial by jury or at law, or other procedural rights, (h) waivers of broadly or vaguely stated rights, (i) provisions for exclusivity, election or cumulation of rights or remedies, (j) provisions authorizing or validating conclusive or discretionary determinations, (k) grants of setoff rights, (l) proxies, powers and trusts, (m) provisions prohibiting, restricting, or requiring consent to assignment or transfer of any right or property and (n) the severability, if invalid, of provisions to the foregoing effect.
Medicis Pharmaceutical Corporation
May 16, 2012
Page 3
With your consent, we have assumed (a) that each of the Notes and the Indenture and the Rights and the Rights Agreement (collectively, the Documents) will be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, (b) that each of the Documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto other than the Company, (c) that each of the Documents constitutes legally valid and binding obligations of the parties thereto other than the Company, enforceable against each of them in accordance with their respective terms, and (d) that the status of each of the Documents as legally valid and binding obligations of the parties is not be affected by any (i) breaches of, or defaults under, agreements or instruments, (ii) violations of statutes, rules, regulations or court or governmental orders, or (iii) failures to obtain required consents, approvals or authorizations from, or to make required registrations, declarations or filings with, governmental authorities.
This letter assumes, with your consent, that the Board of Directors of the Company has acted in accordance with its fiduciary duties in adopting the Rights Agreement, and does not address whether the Board of Directors may be required to redeem or terminate, or take other action with respect to, the Rights in the future based on the facts and circumstances then existing. Moreover, this letter addresses corporate procedures in connection with the issuance of the Rights associated with the Shares, and not any particular provision of the Rights or the Rights Agreement. It should be understood that it is not settled whether the invalidity of any particular provision of a rights agreement or of rights issued thereunder would result in invalidating in their entirety such rights.
This opinion is for your benefit in connection with the Registration Statement and may be relied upon by you and by persons entitled to rely upon it pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Act. We consent to your filing this opinion as an exhibit to the Companys Form 8-K dated May 16, 2012 and to the reference to our firm contained in the prospectus under the heading Legal Matters. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.
Very truly yours,

Settlement Terms: | ||
Settlement: |
In lieu of the obligations set forth in Sections 8.1 and 9.1 of the Equity Definitions, and subject to Notice of Exercise above, in respect of any validly exercised Note Hedging Unit, Dealer shall deliver to Counterparty, on the related Settlement Date, the Settlement Amount.
For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent Dealer is obligated to deliver Shares hereunder, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.11 and 9.12 of the Equity Definitions shall be applicable to any such delivery of Shares, except that all references in such provisions to Physical Settlement and Physically-settled shall be read as references to Share Settlement and Share Settled; and provided 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 arising from Counterpartys status as issuer of the Shares or arising from such Shares being restricted securities (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act)). Share Settlement means settlement of a Note Hedging Unit pursuant to Settlement Amount below, and Share Settled has a meaning correlative thereto. | |
Settlement Amount: | The aggregate of (i) the number of Shares that Counterparty is obligated to deliver and (ii) the amount of cash that Counterparty is obligated to pay less USD 1,000, in each case, to the holder of USD 1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes converted on such Conversion Date pursuant to Section 8.02 of the Supplemental Indenture.
The number of Shares included in the Settlement Amount shall not take into consideration any rounding pursuant to Section 8.02(j) of the Supplemental Indenture. Instead Dealer will deliver cash in lieu of any fractional Shares based on (i) the Daily VWAP on the last Trading Day of the applicable Conversion Period and (ii) the aggregate number of Note Hedging Units exercised on any Exercise Date.
In addition, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein:
(i) the Settlement Amount shall be determined by the Calculation Agent excluding any increase to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 8.03 of the Supplemental Indenture (a Fundamental Change Adjustment) or any voluntary adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 8.04(g) of the Supplemental Indenture (a Discretionary Adjustment); and |
6
(ii) if Counterparty or its board of directors is permitted or required to exercise discretion under the terms of the Indenture with respect to any determination, calculation or adjustment (including, without limitation, any adjustment under Section 8.04(i) or 8.05 of the Supplemental Indenture, any adjustment to the terms of the Convertible Notes following a Merger Event pursuant to Section 8.07 of the Supplemental Indenture, any adjustment to the Dividend Threshold Amount relating to a change in the regular dividend period for purposes of Section 8.04(d) of the Supplemental Indenture or any determination of the fair market value of distributed property, the volume weighted average price of Shares or the value of a unit of Reference Property) (any such determination, calculation or adjustment, a Counterparty Determination), Counterparty shall consult with Dealer with respect thereto and, if the Calculation Agent disagrees in good faith with such determination, calculation or adjustment, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Calculation Agent shall make the relevant determination, calculation or adjustment for purposes of the Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, such determination, calculation or adjustment shall be made (A) in accordance with the methodology set forth in the Indenture, except as set forth herein, and (B) using, where relevant, variables determined by the Calculation Agent).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the sum of (x) the product of the number of Shares delivered in respect of a Note Hedging Unit and the Applicable Limit Price on the Settlement Date for such Note Hedging Unit and (y) the amount of cash paid in respect of any Note Hedging Unit (including any cash in lieu of any fractional Share), exceed the Applicable Limit for such Note Hedging Unit.
Section 6.3(a) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the remainder of clause (ii) thereof following the words at any time. | ||
Applicable Limit: |
For any exercised Note Hedging Unit, an amount in USD equal to the product of the Applicable Percentage and the excess of (i) the sum of (A) the amount of cash, if any, paid to the holder of USD 1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes converted on the related Conversion Date and (B) the product of (x) the number of Shares, if any, delivered to the holder of USD 1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes converted on the related Conversion Date and (y) the Applicable Limit Price on the applicable Settlement Date over (ii) USD 1,000. | |
Applicable Limit Price: |
On any day, the opening price as displayed under the heading Op on Bloomberg page MRX <equity> (or any successor thereto). |
7
Notice of Delivery Obligation: | No later than the Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the last day of the relevant Conversion Period, Counterparty shall give Dealer notice of the final number of Shares and/or the amount of cash that Counterparty is required to deliver to holders of the relevant Convertible Notes (the Convertible Obligation); provided that:
(i) Counterparty may provide a single such notice of the aggregate Convertible Obligation for all Convertible Notes converted on or after March 1, 2017,
(ii) the requirement of Counterparty to deliver such notice shall not limit Counterpartys obligations with respect to Notice of Exercise, as set forth above, in any way; and
(iii) in the case of any late delivery of a Notice of Delivery Obligation, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Settlement Date for any related Note Hedging Unit shall be the second Scheduled Trading Day following the date such notice is delivered; provided, further, that if Counterparty fails to deliver such notice prior to 5:00 PM New York City time on the fifth Scheduled Trading Day following the last day of the relevant Conversion Period, Dealers obligation to make any payment or delivery in respect of the related exercise of Note Hedging Units shall be permanently extinguished and any delivery of such notice thereafter shall not cure such failure. | |
Settlement Date: |
In respect of an Exercise Date, the settlement date for the Shares or cash to be delivered under the Convertible Notes converted on the corresponding Conversion Date under the terms of the Indenture. | |
Settlement Currency: |
USD. | |
Restricted Certificated Shares: |
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Equity Definitions, Dealer may, in whole or in part, deliver Shares in certificated form representing the Share portion of the Settlement Amount to Counterparty in lieu of delivery through the Clearance System. | |
Share Adjustments: | ||
Potential Adjustment Events: | Notwithstanding Section 11.2(e) of the Equity Definitions, a Potential Adjustment Event means any occurrence of any event or condition, as set forth in Section 8.04(i), 8.04(a)(e) or 8.05 of the Supplemental Indenture, that would result in an adjustment under the Indenture to the Conversion Rate or any other term of the Convertible Notes; provided that in no event shall there be any adjustment hereunder as a result of a Fundamental Change Adjustment or a Discretionary Adjustment.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) Dealer shall not have any delivery obligation hereunder in respect of any Distributed Property delivered by Counterparty to which the fifth sentence of Section 8.04(c) of the Supplemental Indenture would apply and no adjustment shall be made to the terms of the Transaction on account of the delivery of such Distributed Property to holders of the Shares and (ii) if Counterparty pays a cash dividend to which the last paragraph of Section 8.04(d) of the Supplemental Indenture would apply, Dealer will pay to Counterparty an amount of cash equal to the amount of such cash dividend that Dealer or its affiliate receives on its Hedge Positions in respect of the Transaction promptly following Dealers receipt thereof. |
8
Method of Adjustment: |
Calculation Agent Adjustment, which means that, notwithstanding Section 11.2(c) of the Equity Definitions, upon any Potential Adjustment Event (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Fundamental Change Adjustment or Discretionary Adjustment), the Calculation Agent shall make a corresponding adjustment to any one or more of the Strike Price, Number of Note Hedging Units, the Note Hedging Unit Entitlement, the composition of the Shares and any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement, payment or other terms of the Transaction (subject to the provisions set forth under Settlement Amount above in respect of any Counterparty Determination). | |
Dividends: |
If (i) an ex-dividend date for a cash dividend or distribution on the Shares (a Triggering Dividend) that is less than the Regular Dividend occurs on or after the Trade Date and on or prior to the Expiration Date, or (ii) no ex-dividend date for a cash dividend or distribution on the Shares occurs in any regular dividend period of Counterparty (as determined by the Calculation Agent) that falls, in whole or in part, after the Trade Date and on or prior to the Expiration Date, then, in each case, the Calculation Agent will make such adjustments to any one or more of the variables relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment or other terms of the Transaction as it determines appropriate to account for the economic effect on the Transaction of such shortfall or lack of a dividend, as the case may be. | |
Regular Dividend: |
For the first Triggering Dividend for which the ex-dividend date occurs within any regular dividend period of Counterparty (as determined by the Calculation Agent), USD 0.10 per Share (subject to adjustment (x) by the Calculation Agent to account for any change in the regular dividend period length and (y) as contemplated by Section 11.2(c) of the Equity Definitions), and, for any subsequent Triggering Dividend for which the ex-dividend date occurs within the same regular dividend period, zero. | |
Extraordinary Events: | ||
Merger Events: |
Notwithstanding Section 12.1(b) of the Equity Definitions, a Merger Event means the occurrence of any event or condition set forth in the definition of Merger Event in Section 8.07(a) of the Supplemental Indenture. | |
Notice of Merger Consideration: | In respect of any Merger Event, Counterparty shall notify the Calculation Agent of (i) if applicable, the weighted average of the kind and amounts of consideration to be received by the holders of Shares in any Merger Event who affirmatively make such an election and (ii) the details of the adjustments made under the Indenture in respect of such Merger Event, in each case, reasonably promptly upon determination thereof (and in any event prior to the effective date of the Merger Event), and Counterparty shall deliver a copy of the supplemental indenture effecting such adjustments (a Merger Supplemental Indenture) as promptly as practicable following execution thereof. |
9
Consequences of Merger Events: |
Notwithstanding Section 12.2 of the Equity Definitions, upon the occurrence of a Merger Event, the Calculation Agent shall make the corresponding adjustment in respect of any adjustment under the Indenture to any one or more of the nature of the Shares, the Strike Price, the Number of Note Hedging Units, the Note Hedging Unit Entitlement, the Settlement Date and any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment or other terms of the Transaction to the extent an analogous adjustment is permitted or required to be made pursuant to the Indenture in connection with such Merger Event (subject to the provisions set forth under Settlement Amount above in respect of any Counterparty Determination); provided that such adjustment shall be made without regard to any Fundamental Change Adjustment or any Discretionary Adjustment; and provided further that the Calculation Agent may limit or alter any such adjustment referenced in this paragraph to preserve the intended economic benefits of the Transaction; and provided further that if, with respect to a Merger Event, (i) the consideration for the Shares includes (or, at the option of a holder of Shares, may include) shares (or depositary receipts with respect to shares) of an entity or person that is not a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia or (ii) Counterparty following such Merger Event will not be a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia or will not be either (x) the Issuer following such Merger Event or (y) a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer following such Merger Event whose obligations under the Transaction are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by such Issuer, Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination) may apply at Dealers sole election. | |
Nationalization, Insolvency and Delisting: |
Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination); provided that in addition to the provisions of Section 12.6(a)(iii) of the Equity Definitions, it shall also constitute a Delisting if the Exchange is located in the United States and the Shares are not immediately re-listed, re-traded or re-quoted on any of the New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market or The NASDAQ Global Market (or their respective successors); if the Shares are immediately re-listed, re-traded or re-quoted on any such exchange or quotation system, such exchange or quotation system shall thereafter be deemed to be the Exchange. |

Additional Termination Events.
(i) | The occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to Counterparty under the terms of the Convertible Notes as set forth in Section 5.01 of the Supplemental Indenture that results in the Convertible Notes becoming or being declared due and payable pursuant to the Indenture shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (x) Counterparty shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, (y) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (z) Dealer may designate an Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement (which Exchange Business Day shall be on or as promptly as reasonably practicable after the occurrence of such acceleration). |
(ii) | Promptly following, but in no event later than the fifth Exchange Business Day after, any repurchase and cancellation of Convertible Notes (whether pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Supplemental Indenture, Section 2.07 of the Supplemental Indenture or otherwise), Counterparty shall notify Dealer in writing of such repurchase and cancellation and the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes so repurchased and |
14
cancelled (any such notice, a Repurchase Notice); provided that such Repurchase Notice shall contain an acknowledgement by Counterparty of its responsibilities under applicable securities laws, and in particular Section 9 and 10(b) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, in respect of such repurchase and the delivery of such Repurchase Notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, the receipt by Dealer from Counterparty of any Repurchase Notice, within the applicable time period set forth in the preceding sentence and containing the acknowledgement set forth in the preceding proviso, shall constitute an Additional Termination Event as provided in this clause (ii). Upon receipt of any such Repurchase Notice, Dealer shall designate an Exchange Business Day following receipt of such Repurchase Notice (which Exchange Business Day shall be within a commercially reasonable period of time after the related settlement date for the repurchase of such Convertible Notes) as an Early Termination Date with respect to the portion of this Transaction corresponding to a number of Note Hedging Units (the Repurchase Note Hedging Units) equal to the lesser of (A) the product of (1) the Applicable Percentage and (2) the aggregate principal amount of such Convertible Notes specified in such Repurchase Notice, divided by USD 1,000 and (B) the Number of Note Hedging Units as of the date Dealer designates such Early Termination Date and, as of such date, the Number of Note Hedging Units shall be reduced by the number of Repurchase Note Hedging Units. Any payment hereunder with respect to such termination shall be calculated pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (1) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to this Transaction and a Number of Note Hedging Units equal to the number of Repurchase Note Hedging Units, (2) Counterparty were the sole Affected Party with respect to such Additional Termination Event and (3) the terminated portion of the Transaction were the sole Affected Transaction. |
(iii) | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, the receipt by Dealer from Counterparty, within the applicable time period set forth under Notice of Exercise above, of any Notice of Exercise in respect of Note Hedging Units that relate to Make-Whole Convertible Notes shall constitute an Additional Termination Event as provided in this clause (iii). Upon receipt of any such Notice of Exercise, Dealer shall designate an Exchange Business Day following such Additional Termination Event (which Exchange Business Day shall be within a commercially reasonable period of time after the related settlement date for such Make-Whole Convertible Notes) as an Early Termination Date with respect to the portion of this Transaction corresponding to a number of Note Hedging Units (the Make-Whole Note Hedging Units) equal to the lesser of (A) the product of (1) the Applicable Percentage and (2) the aggregate principal amount of such Make-Whole Convertible Notes specified in such Exercise Notice, divided by USD 1,000 and (B) the Number of Note Hedging Units as of the date Dealer designates such Early Termination Date and, as of such date, the Number of Note Hedging Units shall be reduced by the number of Make-Whole Note Hedging Units. Any payment hereunder with respect to such termination (the Make-Whole Unwind Payment) shall be calculated pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (1) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to this Transaction and a Number of Note Hedging Units equal to the number of Make-Whole Note Hedging Units, (2) Counterparty were the sole Affected Party with respect to such Additional Termination Event and (3) the terminated portion of the Transaction were the sole Affected Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, in determining the amount payable pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement, the Calculation Agent shall not take into account any Fundamental Change Adjustment); provided that the amount of cash deliverable in respect of such early termination by Dealer to Counterparty shall not be greater than the excess of (x) (I) the number of Make-Whole Note Hedging Units multiplied by (II) the Conversion Rate (after taking into account any applicable Fundamental Change Adjustment) multiplied by (III) the Applicable Limit Price on the applicable Settlement Date determined by the Calculation Agent in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner over (y) the product of USD 1,000 and the number of such Make-Whole Note Hedging Units, as determined by the Calculation Agent in a commercially reasonable manner. If Counterparty has (or is deemed to have) specified a Cash Percentage that is less than 100% in the Notice of Exercise relating to any Make-Whole Note Hedging Units, then in lieu of paying the Make-Whole Unwind Payment as set forth above, Dealer |
15
shall (A) pay to Counterparty an amount of cash equal to (1) such Cash Percentage, multiplied by (2) such Make-Whole Unwind Payment, and (B) deliver to Counterparty a number of Shares equal to (1) 100% minus such Cash Percentage, multiplied by (2) such Make-Whole Unwind Payment, divided by (3) a price per Share determined by the Calculation Agent in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, in each case, on the date such Make-Whole Unwind Payment would otherwise be due pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and this Confirmation (or within a commercially reasonable period of time thereafter, as determined by Dealer taking into account existing liquidity conditions and Dealers hedging and hedge unwind activity or settlement activity in connection with such payment and delivery). |
Counterparty agrees that it will promptly cancel any repurchased Convertible Notes pursuant to Section 2.06 of the Supplemental Indenture.
For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions set forth below under Alternative Calculations and Dealer Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events, including and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein, shall apply to any Dealer Payment Obligation amount resulting from an Additional Termination Event set forth in clause (i) or (ii) above.
Disposition of Hedge Shares. Counterparty hereby agrees that if, in the good faith reasonable judgment of Dealer based on the advice of counsel, the Shares (the Hedge Shares) acquired by Dealer or any of its affiliates (collectively for the purposes of this paragraph only, Dealer) for the purpose of hedging its obligations pursuant to the Transaction cannot be sold in the public market by Dealer without registration under the Securities Act, Counterparty shall, at its election: (i) in order to allow Dealer to sell the Hedge Shares in a registered offering, make available to Dealer 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 satisfactory to Dealer, substantially in the form of an underwriting agreement for a registered offering of substantially similar size, (B) provide accountants comfort letters in customary form for registered offerings of equity securities of substantially similar size, (C) provide disclosure opinions of nationally recognized outside counsel to Counterparty reasonably acceptable to Dealer, (D) provide other customary opinions, certificates and closing documents customary in form for registered offerings of equity securities of substantially similar size and (E) afford Dealer a reasonable opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation with respect to Counterparty customary in scope for underwritten offerings of equity securities of substantially similar size; provided, however, that if Dealer, in its sole 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 paragraph shall apply at the election of Counterparty; (ii) in order to allow Dealer 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 of substantially similar size, in form and substance satisfactory to Dealer, including customary representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to Dealer, due diligence rights (for Dealer or any designated buyer of the Hedge Shares from Dealer), opinions and certificates and such other documentation as is customary for private placements agreements for private placements of equity securities of substantially similar size, all reasonably acceptable to Dealer (in which case, the Calculation Agent shall make any adjustments to the terms of the Transaction that are necessary, in its commercially reasonable determination, to compensate Dealer 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 Dealer at the VWAP Price on such Exchange Business Days, and in the amounts, requested by Dealer. 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 MRX.N <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, or is, in the Calculation Agents reasonable discretion, erroneous, the market value of one Share on such Exchange Business Day, as determined by the Calculation Agent using, if practicable, a volume-weighted method). This paragraph shall survive the termination, expiration or early unwind of the Transaction.
16
Status of Claims in Bankruptcy. Dealer acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to convey to Dealer rights with respect to the Transaction that are senior to the claims of common stockholders in any U.S. bankruptcy proceedings of Counterparty; provided that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealers right to pursue remedies in the event of a breach by Counterparty of its obligations and agreements with respect to the Transaction other than during Counterpartys bankruptcy; provided, further, that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealers rights in respect of any transactions other than the Transaction.
No Collateral. Notwithstanding any provision of this Confirmation, the Agreement, Equity Definitions, or any other agreement between the parties to the contrary, the obligations of Counterparty under the Transaction are not secured by any collateral.
Securities Contract; Swap Agreement. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that Dealer is a financial institution, swap participant and financial participant within the meaning of Sections 101(22), 101(53C) and 101(22A) of the Bankruptcy Code. The parties hereto further agree and acknowledge (A) that this Confirmation is (i) a securities contract, as such term is defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code, with respect to which each payment and delivery hereunder or in connection herewith is a termination value, payment amount or other transfer obligation within the meaning of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and a settlement payment or a transfer within the meaning of Section 546 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (ii) a swap agreement, as such term is defined in Section 101(53B) of the Bankruptcy Code, with respect to which each payment and delivery hereunder or in connection herewith is a termination value, a payment amount or other transfer obligation within the meaning of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and a transfer within the meaning of Section 546 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (B) that Dealer is entitled to the protections afforded by, among other sections, Section 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 362(b)(27), 362(o), 546(e), 546(g), 546(j), 548(d)(2), 555, 560 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code.
Repurchase Notices. Counterparty shall, on any day on which Counterparty effects any repurchase of Shares, provide Dealer with a written notice of such repurchase (a Repurchase Notice) on such day if, following such repurchase, the Unit Equity Percentage as determined on such day is greater by 0.5% or more than the Unit Equity Percentage included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice (or, in the case of the first such Repurchase Notice, greater by 0.5% or more than the Unit Equity Percentage as of the date hereof). The Unit Equity Percentage as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (i) the numerator of which is the sum of (A) the product of the number of Note Hedging Units and the Note Hedging Unit Entitlement and (B) the number of Shares underlying any other call option transaction between Dealer as seller and Counterparty as buyer, and (ii) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day. Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Dealer and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors, agents and controlling persons (each, a Section 16 Indemnified Person) from and against any and all losses (including losses relating to Dealers hedging activities as a consequence 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 reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees), joint or several, to which a Section 16 Indemnified Person may become subject, as a result of Counterpartys failure to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this paragraph, and to reimburse, within 30 days upon written request, each of such Section 16 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 Section 16 Indemnified Person, such Section 16 Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Counterparty in writing, and Counterparty, upon request of the Section 16 Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Section 16 Indemnified Person to represent the Section 16 Indemnified Person and any others Counterparty may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. Counterparty shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, Counterparty agrees to indemnify any Section 16 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 Section 16 Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Section 16 Indemnified Person is or
17
could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Section 16 Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Section 16 Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding on terms reasonably satisfactory to such Section 16 Indemnified Person. If the indemnification provided for in this paragraph is unavailable to a Section 16 Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then Counterparty, in lieu of indemnifying such Section 16 Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Section 16 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 that may otherwise be available to any Section 16 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.
Alternative Calculations and Dealer Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events. If Dealer owes Counterparty any amount in connection with the Transaction pursuant to Sections 12.2, 12.3 (and Consequences of Merger Events above), 12.6, 12.7 or 12.9 of the Equity Definitions (except in the case of an Extraordinary Event that (x) is within Counterpartys control or (y) as a result of which the Shares have changed into cash) or pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (except in the case of an Event of Default in which Counterparty is the Defaulting Party or a Termination Event in which Counterparty is the Affected Party, other than an Event of Default or a Termination Event that resulted from an event or events outside Counterpartys control) (a Dealer Payment Obligation), Counterparty shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to require Dealer to satisfy any such Dealer Payment Obligation by delivery of Termination Delivery Units (as defined below) by (A) giving irrevocable telephonic notice to Dealer, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day, between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. New York time on the Early Termination Date or other date the transaction is terminated, as applicable (Notice of Dealer Termination Delivery) and (B) remaking the representation set forth under No Material Non-Public Information below on the date of such notice; provided that if Counterparty does not validly so elect (or is not permitted to elect) to require Dealer to satisfy its Dealer Payment Obligation by delivery of Termination Delivery Units, Dealer shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to elect to satisfy its Dealer Payment Obligation by delivery of Termination Delivery Units. Within a commercially reasonable period of time following receipt of a Notice of Dealer Termination Delivery or delivery by Dealer of notice of its election to satisfy the Dealer Payment Obligation by delivery of Termination Delivery Units, Dealer shall deliver to Counterparty a number of Termination Delivery Units having a cash value equal to the amount of such Dealer Payment Obligation (as determined by the Calculation Agent in a commercially reasonable manner). If the provisions set forth in this paragraph are applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.11 (modified as described above) and 9.12 of the Equity Definitions shall be applicable, except that all references to Shares shall be read as references to Termination Delivery Units. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Equity Definitions, Dealer may, in whole or in part, deliver securities comprising Termination Delivery Units in certificated form to Counterparty in lieu of delivery through the Clearance System.
Termination Delivery Unit means one Share or, if the Shares have changed into cash or any other property or the right to receive cash or any other property as the result of an Insolvency, Nationalization or Merger Event, a unit consisting of the number or amount of each type of property received by a holder of one Share (without consideration of any requirement to pay cash or other consideration in lieu of fractional amounts of any securities) in such Insolvency, Nationalization or Merger Event, as determined by the Calculation Agent. If such Insolvency, Nationalization or Merger Event involves a choice of consideration to be received by holders, the Calculation Agent shall determine the composition of such consideration in its commercially reasonable discretion.
No Material Non-Public Information. Counterparty represents and warrants to Dealer that it is not aware of any material nonpublic information concerning itself, the Shares or option contracts related to the Shares.
Right to Extend. Dealer may postpone any potential Exercise Date or Settlement Date or postpone or extend any other date of valuation or delivery with respect to some or all of the relevant Note Hedging Units (in which event the Calculation Agent shall make appropriate adjustments to the Settlement Amount for such Note Hedging Units), if Dealer determines, in its reasonable discretion based on the advice of counsel (in the case of clause (a) or sub-clause (b)(ii) below) or in its commercially reasonable discretion (in the case of sub-clause (b)(i) below),
18
that (a) a Regulatory Disruption has occurred or (b) such extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate to (i) preserve Dealers hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions (but only if there is a material decrease in liquidity relative to Dealers expectations on the Trade Date) or (ii) enable Dealer to effect purchases of Shares in connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if Dealer were the Issuer or an affiliated purchaser of the Issuer, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer. Regulatory Disruption shall mean any event that Dealer determines makes it appropriate with regard to any legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements or related policies and procedures (whether or not such requirements, policies or procedures are imposed by law or have been voluntarily adopted by Dealer), for Dealer to refrain from or decrease any market activity in connection with the Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the case of a postponement pursuant to sub-clause (b)(i) above, no such Exercise Date or Settlement Date or other date of valuation or delivery may be postponed or added more than 30 Scheduled Trading Days after the original Exercise Date or Settlement Date or other date of valuation or delivery, as the case may be.
Transfer or Assignment. Counterparty may not transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Transaction without the prior written consent of Dealer not to be unreasonably withheld. For the avoidance of doubt, Dealer may condition its consent on any of the following, without limitation: (i) the receipt by Dealer of opinions and documentation reasonably satisfactory to Dealer in connection with such transfer, (ii) such transfer being effected on terms reasonably satisfactory to Dealer with respect to any legal and regulatory requirements relevant to Dealer, (iii) the transferee being a United States person (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), (iv) that, in Dealers reasonable determination, Dealer will not be required, as a result of such transfer, to pay the transferee an amount under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement greater than the amount, if any, that Dealer would have been required to pay to Counterparty in the absence of such transfer, (v) that, in Dealers reasonable determination, no Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or Termination Event will occur as a result of such transfer and (vi) that Counterparty will continue to be obligated to provide notices hereunder relating to the Convertible Notes and will continue to be obligated under the provisions set forth under Disposition of Hedge Shares and Repurchase Notices herein. In addition, Dealer may not, without the consent of Counterparty (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), transfer or assign all or a portion of its Note Hedging Units hereunder except to any affiliate of Dealer (x) that has, at the time of such transfer or assignment, a rating for its long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness that is equal to or better than Dealers credit rating, or (y) whose obligation hereunder will be guaranteed, pursuant to the terms of a customary guarantee in a form used by Dealer generally for similar transactions, by Dealer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall be a further condition to a transfer or assignment by Dealer without Counterpartys consent that such transfer or assignment would not result in a deemed exchange by Counterparty of the transferred or assigned portion of the Transaction for a modified transaction that differs materially in kind or extent for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
If (a) at any time (1) the Section 16 Equity Percentage exceeds 8%, (2) the Unit Equity Percentage exceeds 14.5% or (3) Dealer, Dealer Group (as defined below) or any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Dealer or Dealer Group (Dealer, Dealer Group or any such person, a Dealer Person) under any federal, state or local (including non-U.S.) laws, rules, regulations or regulatory orders, or any organizational documents or contracts of Counterparty that are, in each case, applicable to ownership of Shares (Applicable Restrictions), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership, or could be reasonably viewed as meeting any of the foregoing, in excess of a number of Shares equal to (x) the number of Shares that would give rise to reporting, registration, filing or notification obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval by a state, federal or non-U.S. regulator) of a Dealer Person, or could result in an adverse effect on a Dealer Person (except for any filings of Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G under the Exchange Act or any other filing obligations applicable as of the date hereof), under Applicable Restrictions, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion, and with respect to which such requirements have not been met or the relevant approval has not been received minus (y) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding on the date of determination (either such condition described in clause (1), (2) or (3), an Excess Ownership Position), and (b) Dealer is unable, after commercially reasonable efforts, to effect a transfer or assignment on pricing and terms and within a time period reasonably acceptable to it of all or a portion of this Transaction pursuant to the preceding paragraph such that an Excess Ownership Position no
19
longer exists (it being understood and agreed that, if an Excess Ownership Position exists, the condition to transfer or assignment set forth in the last sentence of the preceding paragraph shall not apply), Dealer may designate any Scheduled Trading Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion (the Terminated Portion) of this Transaction, such that an Excess Ownership Position no longer exists following such partial termination. In the event that Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of this Transaction, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (i) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to this Transaction and a Number of Note Hedging Units equal to the Terminated Portion, (ii) Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (iii) such Transaction shall be the only Terminated Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions set forth under the caption Alternative Calculations and Dealer Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events shall apply to any amount that is payable by Dealer to Counterparty pursuant to this sentence). The Section 16 Equity Percentage as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Dealer and any of its affiliates subject to aggregation with Dealer 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 Dealer (collectively, Dealer Group) beneficially own (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act) without duplication on such day (or to the extent that the equivalent calculation under Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder results in a higher number, such number) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day.
Designation by Dealer. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any shares or other securities to or from Counterparty, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such shares or other securities and otherwise to perform Dealers obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such performance.
Matters Related to Agent. Each party agrees and acknowledges that (i) Agent acts solely as agent on a disclosed basis with respect to the Transaction, and (ii) Agent has no obligation, by guaranty, endorsement or otherwise, with respect to the obligations of either Counterparty or Dealer hereunder, either with respect to the delivery of cash or Shares, either at the beginning or the end of the Transaction. In this regard, each of Counterparty and Dealer acknowledges and agrees to look solely to the other for performance hereunder, and not to Agent.
Severability; Illegality. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, if compliance by either party with any provision of the Transaction would be unenforceable or illegal, (a) the parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such unenforceability or illegality in a manner that preserves the economic benefits of the transactions contemplated hereby and (b) the other provisions of the Transaction shall not be invalidated, but shall remain in full force and effect.
Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THE TRANSACTION. EACH PARTY (I) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF SUCH A SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTY HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THE TRANSACTION, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS PROVIDED HEREIN.
Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act. In connection with Section 739 of the Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act of 2010 (WSTAA), the parties hereby agree that neither the enactment of WSTAA or any regulation under the WSTAA, nor any requirement under WSTAA or an amendment made by WSTAA, shall limit or otherwise impair either partys otherwise applicable rights to terminate, renegotiate, modify, amend or supplement this Confirmation or the Agreement, as applicable, arising from a termination event, force majeure, illegality, increased costs, regulatory change or similar event under this Confirmation, the Equity Definitions incorporated herein, or the Agreement (including, but not limited to, rights arising from Change in Law, Hedging Disruption, Increased Cost of Hedging, an Excess Ownership Position, or Illegality (as defined in the Agreement)).
20
Agreements and Acknowledgements Regarding Hedging. Counterparty understands, acknowledges and agrees that: (A) at any time on and prior to the Expiration Date, Dealer and its affiliates may buy or sell Shares or other securities or buy or sell options or futures contracts or enter into swaps or other derivative securities in order to adjust its hedge position with respect to the Transaction; (B) Dealer and its affiliates also may be active in the market for Shares other than in connection with hedging activities in relation to the Transaction; (C) Dealer shall make its own determination as to whether, when or in what manner any hedging or market activities in securities of Issuer shall be conducted and shall do so in a manner that it deems appropriate to hedge its price and market risk with respect to the Daily VWAP; and (D) any market activities of Dealer and its affiliates with respect to Shares may affect the market price and volatility of Shares, as well as the Daily VWAP, each in a manner that may be adverse to Counterparty.
Early Unwind. In the event the sale of the Firm Securities (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement) is not consummated with the underwriters thereof for any reason, other than in cases involving breach of the Underwriting Agreement by Dealer or its affiliate, by the close of business in New York on May 23, 2012 (or such later date as agreed upon by the parties) (May 23, 2012 or such later date as agreed upon being the Early Unwind Date), the Transaction shall automatically terminate (the Early Unwind) on the Early Unwind Date and (a) the Transaction and all of the respective rights and obligations of Dealer and Counterparty under the Transaction shall be cancelled and terminated and (b) each party shall be released and discharged by the other party from and agrees not to make any claim against the other party with respect to any obligations or liabilities of the other party arising out of and to be performed in connection with the Transaction either prior to or after the Early Unwind Date. Dealer and Counterparty represent and acknowledge to the other that, upon an Early Unwind, all obligations with respect to the Transaction shall be deemed fully and finally discharged.
Payment by Counterparty. In the event that, following payment of the Premium, (i) an Early Termination Date occurs or is designated with respect to the Transaction as a result of a Termination Event or an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default or Termination Event within Counterpartys control) and, as a result, Counterparty owes to Dealer an amount calculated under Section 6(e) of the Agreement, or (ii) Counterparty owes to Dealer any amount under Consequences of Merger Events above (other than as a result of a Merger Event that resulted from an event or events within Counterpartys control), such amount shall be deemed to be zero.
Part 2(b) of the ISDA Schedule Payee Representation. For the purpose of Section 3(f) of this Agreement, Counterparty makes the following representation to Dealer:
Counterparty is a corporation established under the laws of the State of Delaware and is a United States person (as that term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code).

(i) the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes as to which the related Conversion Date has occurred (including, if applicable, whether all or any portion of such Convertible Notes are Convertible Notes as to which Additional Shares would be added to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 8.03 of the Supplemental Indenture (the Make-Whole Convertible Notes)),
(ii) the scheduled commencement date of the Conversion Period and the scheduled settlement date under the Indenture for the Convertible Notes converted on the Conversion Date corresponding to such Exercise Date, and
(iii) the applicable Cash Percentage; provided that, if the Cash Percentage specified is a percentage other than 0%, such notice shall contain an acknowledgment by Counterparty of its responsibilities under applicable securities laws, and in particular, Section 9 and 10(b) of the U.S. Securities Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) and the rules and regulations thereunder, in respect of any election of a Cash Percentage settlement method with respect to the relevant Convertible Notes; provided, further that if Counterparty fails to timely |
4
provide the notice described in this clause (iii) or such notice does not contain the foregoing acknowledgment to the extent required by this clause (iii), notwithstanding anything to the contrary under Settlement Amount below, the Settlement Amount for each relevant Note Hedging Unit shall be the Settlement Amount (as determined by the Calculation Agent) that would have been deliverable hereunder by Dealer with respect to such Note Hedging Unit if Counterparty had elected a Cash Percentage of 0%.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in respect of Convertible Notes with a Conversion Date during the period beginning on, and including, March 1, 2017 and ending at the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date:
(x) the Notice Deadline in respect of the information set forth in clause (i) above shall be 5:00 PM, New York City time, on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date,
(y) the Notice of Exercise need not include the information set forth in clause (ii) above, and
(z) the Notice Deadline in respect of the information set forth in clause (iii) above shall be 5:00 PM, New York City time, on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately following March 1, 2017.
For the avoidance of doubt, if Counterparty fails to give a Notice of Exercise when due in respect of any exercise of Note Hedging Units hereunder as set forth above, Dealers obligation to make any payment or delivery in respect of such exercise shall be permanently extinguished, and late notice shall not cure such failure; provided that a Notice of Exercise (and the related exercise of Note Hedging Units) shall be effective with respect to Note Hedging Units relating to Convertible Notes converted prior to March 1, 2017, if given after the Notice Deadline but prior to 5:00 PM New York City time on the fifth Scheduled Trading Day following the Notice Deadline, in which event the Calculation Agent shall have the right to adjust the applicable Settlement Amount as appropriate to reflect the additional costs (including, but not limited to, hedging mismatches and market losses) and reasonable expenses incurred by Dealer in connection with its hedging activities (including the unwinding of any hedge position) as a result of Dealer not having received such notice on or prior to the Notice Deadline. | ||
Settlement Terms: | ||
Settlement: | In lieu of the obligations set forth in Sections 8.1 and 9.1 of the Equity Definitions, and subject to Notice of Exercise above, in respect of any validly exercised Note Hedging Unit, Dealer shall deliver to Counterparty, on the related Settlement Date, the Settlement Amount. |
5
For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent Dealer is obligated to deliver Shares hereunder, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.11 and 9.12 of the Equity Definitions shall be applicable to any such delivery of Shares, except that all references in such provisions to Physical Settlement and Physically-settled shall be read as references to Share Settlement and Share Settled; and provided 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 arising from Counterpartys status as issuer of the Shares or arising from such Shares being restricted securities (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act)). Share Settlement means settlement of a Note Hedging Unit pursuant to Settlement Amount below, and Share Settled has a meaning correlative thereto. | ||
Settlement Amount: |
The aggregate of (i) the number of Shares that Counterparty is obligated to deliver and (ii) the amount of cash that Counterparty is obligated to pay less USD 1,000, in each case, to the holder of USD 1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes converted on such Conversion Date pursuant to Section 8.02 of the Supplemental Indenture.
The number of Shares included in the Settlement Amount shall not take into consideration any rounding pursuant to Section 8.02(j) of the Supplemental Indenture. Instead Dealer will deliver cash in lieu of any fractional Shares based on (i) the Daily VWAP on the last Trading Day of the applicable Conversion Period and (ii) the aggregate number of Note Hedging Units exercised on any Exercise Date.
In addition, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein:
(i) the Settlement Amount shall be determined by the Calculation Agent excluding any increase to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 8.03 of the Supplemental Indenture (a Fundamental Change Adjustment) or any voluntary adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 8.04(g) of the Supplemental Indenture (a Discretionary Adjustment); and
(ii) if Counterparty or its board of directors is permitted or required to exercise discretion under the terms of the Indenture with respect to any determination, calculation or adjustment (including, without limitation, any adjustment under Section 8.04(i) or 8.05 of the Supplemental Indenture, any adjustment to the terms of the Convertible Notes following a Merger Event pursuant to Section 8.07 of the Supplemental Indenture, any adjustment to the Dividend Threshold Amount relating to a change in the regular dividend period for purposes of Section 8.04(d) of the Supplemental Indenture or any determination of the fair market value of distributed property, the volume weighted average price of Shares or the value of a unit of Reference Property) (any such determination, calculation or adjustment, a Counterparty Determination), Counterparty shall |
6
consult with Dealer with respect thereto and, if the Calculation Agent disagrees in good faith with such determination, calculation or adjustment, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Calculation Agent shall make the relevant determination, calculation or adjustment for purposes of the Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, such determination, calculation or adjustment shall be made (A) in accordance with the methodology set forth in the Indenture, except as set forth herein, and (B) using, where relevant, variables determined by the Calculation Agent).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the sum of (x) the product of the number of Shares delivered in respect of a Note Hedging Unit and the Applicable Limit Price on the Settlement Date for such Note Hedging Unit and (y) the amount of cash paid in respect of any Note Hedging Unit (including any cash in lieu of any fractional Share), exceed the Applicable Limit for such Note Hedging Unit.
Section 6.3(a) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the remainder of clause (ii) thereof following the words at any time. | ||
Applicable Limit: | For any exercised Note Hedging Unit, an amount in USD equal to the product of the Applicable Percentage and the excess of (i) the sum of (A) the amount of cash, if any, paid to the holder of USD 1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes converted on the related Conversion Date and (B) the product of (x) the number of Shares, if any, delivered to the holder of USD 1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes converted on the related Conversion Date and (y) the Applicable Limit Price on the applicable Settlement Date over (ii) USD 1,000. | |
Applicable Limit Price: | On any day, the opening price as displayed under the heading Op on Bloomberg page MRX <equity> (or any successor thereto). | |
Notice of Delivery Obligation: | No later than the Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the last day of the relevant Conversion Period, Counterparty shall give Dealer notice of the final number of Shares and/or the amount of cash that Counterparty is required to deliver to holders of the relevant Convertible Notes (the Convertible Obligation); provided that:
(i) Counterparty may provide a single such notice of the aggregate Convertible Obligation for all Convertible Notes converted on or after March 1, 2017,
(ii) the requirement of Counterparty to deliver such notice shall not limit Counterpartys obligations with respect to Notice of Exercise, as set forth above, in any way; and
(iii) in the case of any late delivery of a Notice of Delivery Obligation, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Settlement Date for any related Note Hedging Unit shall be the second Scheduled Trading Day following the date such notice is delivered; provided, further, that if Counterparty fails to deliver such notice prior to 5:00 PM New York City time on the fifth Scheduled Trading Day following the last day of the relevant Conversion Period, Dealers obligation to make any payment or delivery in respect of the related exercise of Note Hedging Units shall be permanently extinguished and any delivery of such notice thereafter shall not cure such failure. |
7
Settlement Date: | In respect of an Exercise Date, the settlement date for the Shares or cash to be delivered under the Convertible Notes converted on the corresponding Conversion Date under the terms of the Indenture. | |
Settlement Currency: | USD. | |
Restricted Certificated Shares: | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Equity Definitions, Dealer may, in whole or in part, deliver Shares in certificated form representing the Share portion of the Settlement Amount to Counterparty in lieu of delivery through the Clearance System. | |
Share Adjustments: | ||
Potential Adjustment Events: | Notwithstanding Section 11.2(e) of the Equity Definitions, a Potential Adjustment Event means any occurrence of any event or condition, as set forth in Section 8.04(i), 8.04(a)(e) or 8.05 of the Supplemental Indenture, that would result in an adjustment under the Indenture to the Conversion Rate or any other term of the Convertible Notes; provided that in no event shall there be any adjustment hereunder as a result of a Fundamental Change Adjustment or a Discretionary Adjustment.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) Dealer shall not have any delivery obligation hereunder in respect of any Distributed Property delivered by Counterparty to which the fifth sentence of Section 8.04(c) of the Supplemental Indenture would apply and no adjustment shall be made to the terms of the Transaction on account of the delivery of such Distributed Property to holders of the Shares and (ii) if Counterparty pays a cash dividend to which the last paragraph of Section 8.04(d) of the Supplemental Indenture would apply, Dealer will pay to Counterparty an amount of cash equal to the amount of such cash dividend that Dealer or its affiliate receives on its Hedge Positions in respect of the Transaction promptly following Dealers receipt thereof. | |
Method of Adjustment: | Calculation Agent Adjustment, which means that, notwithstanding Section 11.2(c) of the Equity Definitions, upon any Potential Adjustment Event (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Fundamental Change Adjustment or Discretionary Adjustment), the Calculation Agent shall make a corresponding adjustment to any one or more of the Strike Price, Number of Note Hedging Units, the Note Hedging Unit Entitlement, the composition of the Shares and any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement, payment or other terms of the Transaction (subject to the provisions set forth under Settlement Amount above in respect of any Counterparty Determination). |
8
Dividends: | If (i) an ex-dividend date for a cash dividend or distribution on the Shares (a Triggering Dividend) that is less than the Regular Dividend occurs on or after the Trade Date and on or prior to the Expiration Date, or (ii) no ex-dividend date for a cash dividend or distribution on the Shares occurs in any regular dividend period of Counterparty (as determined by the Calculation Agent) that falls, in whole or in part, after the Trade Date and on or prior to the Expiration Date, then, in each case, the Calculation Agent will make such adjustments to any one or more of the variables relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment or other terms of the Transaction as it determines appropriate to account for the economic effect on the Transaction of such shortfall or lack of a dividend, as the case may be. | |
Regular Dividend: | For the first Triggering Dividend for which the ex-dividend date occurs within any regular dividend period of Counterparty (as determined by the Calculation Agent), USD 0.10 per Share (subject to adjustment (x) by the Calculation Agent to account for any change in the regular dividend period length and (y) as contemplated by Section 11.2(c) of the Equity Definitions), and, for any subsequent Triggering Dividend for which the ex-dividend date occurs within the same regular dividend period, zero. | |
Extraordinary Events: | ||
Merger Events: | Notwithstanding Section 12.1(b) of the Equity Definitions, a Merger Event means the occurrence of any event or condition set forth in the definition of Merger Event in Section 8.07(a) of the Supplemental Indenture. | |
Notice of Merger Consideration: | In respect of any Merger Event, Counterparty shall notify the Calculation Agent of (i) if applicable, the weighted average of the kind and amounts of consideration to be received by the holders of Shares in any Merger Event who affirmatively make such an election and (ii) the details of the adjustments made under the Indenture in respect of such Merger Event, in each case, reasonably promptly upon determination thereof (and in any event prior to the effective date of the Merger Event), and Counterparty shall deliver a copy of the supplemental indenture effecting such adjustments (a Merger Supplemental Indenture) as promptly as practicable following execution thereof. | |
Consequences of Merger Events: | Notwithstanding Section 12.2 of the Equity Definitions, upon the occurrence of a Merger Event, the Calculation Agent shall make the corresponding adjustment in respect of any adjustment under the Indenture to any one or more of the nature of the Shares, the Strike Price, the Number of Note Hedging Units, the Note Hedging Unit Entitlement, the Settlement Date and any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment or other terms of the Transaction to the extent an analogous adjustment is permitted or required to be made pursuant to the Indenture in connection with such Merger Event (subject to the provisions set forth under Settlement Amount above in respect of any Counterparty Determination); provided that such adjustment shall be made without regard to any Fundamental Change Adjustment |
9
or any Discretionary Adjustment; and provided further that the Calculation Agent may limit or alter any such adjustment referenced in this paragraph to preserve the intended economic benefits of the Transaction; and provided further that if, with respect to a Merger Event, (i) the consideration for the Shares includes (or, at the option of a holder of Shares, may include) shares (or depositary receipts with respect to shares) of an entity or person that is not a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia or (ii) Counterparty following such Merger Event will not be a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia or will not be either (x) the Issuer following such Merger Event or (y) a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer following such Merger Event whose obligations under the Transaction are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by such Issuer, Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination) may apply at Dealers sole election. | ||
Nationalization, Insolvency and Delisting: | Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination); provided that in addition to the provisions of Section 12.6(a)(iii) of the Equity Definitions, it shall also constitute a Delisting if the Exchange is located in the United States and the Shares are not immediately re-listed, re-traded or re-quoted on any of the New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market or The NASDAQ Global Market (or their respective successors); if the Shares are immediately re-listed, re-traded or re-quoted on any such exchange or quotation system, such exchange or quotation system shall thereafter be deemed to be the Exchange. | |

If upon advice of counsel with respect to applicable legal and regulatory requirements, including any requirements relating to Dealers hedging activities hereunder, Dealer reasonably determines that it would not be advisable to deliver, or to acquire Shares to deliver, any or all of the Shares to be delivered by Dealer on the relevant Settlement Date, Dealer may, by notice to Counterparty on or prior to any Settlement Date on which Dealer would be required to deliver Shares hereunder (a Nominal Settlement Date), elect to deliver such Shares on two or more dates (each, a Staggered Settlement Date) or at two or more times on the Nominal Settlement Date as follows: (i) in such notice, Dealer will specify to Counterparty the related Staggered Settlement Dates (each of which will be on or prior to such Nominal Settlement Date, but not prior to the beginning of the related Conversion Period) or delivery times and how it will allocate the Shares it is required to deliver under Settlement above among the Staggered Settlement Dates or delivery times; and (ii) the aggregate number of Shares that Dealer will deliver to Counterparty hereunder on all such Staggered Settlement Dates and delivery times will equal the number of Shares that Dealer would otherwise be required to deliver on such Nominal Settlement Date.
Additional Termination Events.
(i) | The occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to Counterparty under the terms of the Convertible Notes as set forth in Section 5.01 of the Supplemental Indenture that results in the Convertible Notes becoming or being declared due and payable pursuant to the Indenture shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (x) Counterparty shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, (y) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (z) Dealer may designate an Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement (which Exchange Business Day shall be on or as promptly as reasonably practicable after the occurrence of such acceleration). |
(ii) | Promptly following, but in no event later than the fifth Exchange Business Day after, any repurchase and cancellation of Convertible Notes (whether pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Supplemental Indenture, Section 2.07 of the Supplemental Indenture or otherwise), Counterparty shall notify Dealer in writing of such repurchase and cancellation and the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes so repurchased and cancelled (any such notice, a Repurchase Notice); provided that such Repurchase Notice shall contain an acknowledgement by Counterparty of its responsibilities under applicable securities laws, and in particular Section 9 and 10(b) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, in respect of such repurchase and the delivery of such Repurchase Notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, the receipt by Dealer from Counterparty of any Repurchase Notice, within the applicable time period set forth in the preceding sentence and containing the acknowledgement set forth in the preceding proviso, shall constitute an Additional Termination Event as provided in this clause (ii). Upon receipt of any such Repurchase Notice, Dealer shall designate an Exchange Business Day following receipt of such Repurchase Notice (which Exchange Business Day shall be within a commercially reasonable period of time after the related settlement date for the repurchase of such Convertible Notes) as an Early Termination Date with respect to the portion of this Transaction corresponding to a number of Note Hedging Units (the Repurchase Note Hedging Units) equal to the lesser of (A) the product of (1) the Applicable Percentage and (2) the aggregate principal amount of such Convertible Notes specified in such Repurchase Notice, divided by USD 1,000 and (B) the Number of Note Hedging Units as of the date Dealer designates such Early Termination Date and, as of such date, the Number of Note Hedging Units shall be reduced by the number of Repurchase Note Hedging Units. Any payment hereunder with respect to such termination shall be calculated pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (1) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to this Transaction and a Number of Note Hedging Units equal to the number of Repurchase Note Hedging Units, (2) Counterparty were the sole Affected Party with respect to such Additional Termination Event and (3) the terminated portion of the Transaction were the sole Affected Transaction. |
14
(iii) | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, the receipt by Dealer from Counterparty, within the applicable time period set forth under Notice of Exercise above, of any Notice of Exercise in respect of Note Hedging Units that relate to Make-Whole Convertible Notes shall constitute an Additional Termination Event as provided in this clause (iii). Upon receipt of any such Notice of Exercise, Dealer shall designate an Exchange Business Day following such Additional Termination Event (which Exchange Business Day shall be within a commercially reasonable period of time after the related settlement date for such Make-Whole Convertible Notes) as an Early Termination Date with respect to the portion of this Transaction corresponding to a number of Note Hedging Units (the Make-Whole Note Hedging Units) equal to the lesser of (A) the product of (1) the Applicable Percentage and (2) the aggregate principal amount of such Make-Whole Convertible Notes specified in such Exercise Notice, divided by USD 1,000 and (B) the Number of Note Hedging Units as of the date Dealer designates such Early Termination Date and, as of such date, the Number of Note Hedging Units shall be reduced by the number of Make-Whole Note Hedging Units. Any payment hereunder with respect to such termination (the Make-Whole Unwind Payment) shall be calculated pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (1) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to this Transaction and a Number of Note Hedging Units equal to the number of Make-Whole Note Hedging Units, (2) Counterparty were the sole Affected Party with respect to such Additional Termination Event and (3) the terminated portion of the Transaction were the sole Affected Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, in determining the amount payable pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement, the Calculation Agent shall not take into account any Fundamental Change Adjustment); provided that the amount of cash deliverable in respect of such early termination by Dealer to Counterparty shall not be greater than the excess of (x) (I) the number of Make-Whole Note Hedging Units multiplied by (II) the Conversion Rate (after taking into account any applicable Fundamental Change Adjustment) multiplied by (III) the Applicable Limit Price on the applicable Settlement Date determined by the Calculation Agent in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner over (y) the product of USD 1,000 and the number of such Make-Whole Note Hedging Units, as determined by the Calculation Agent in a commercially reasonable manner. If Counterparty has (or is deemed to have) specified a Cash Percentage that is less than 100% in the Notice of Exercise relating to any Make-Whole Note Hedging Units, then in lieu of paying the Make-Whole Unwind Payment as set forth above, Dealer shall (A) pay to Counterparty an amount of cash equal to (1) such Cash Percentage, multiplied by (2) such Make-Whole Unwind Payment, and (B) deliver to Counterparty a number of Shares equal to (1) 100% minus such Cash Percentage, multiplied by (2) such Make-Whole Unwind Payment, divided by (3) a price per Share determined by the Calculation Agent in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, in each case, on the date such Make-Whole Unwind Payment would otherwise be due pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and this Confirmation (or within a commercially reasonable period of time thereafter, as determined by Dealer taking into account existing liquidity conditions and Dealers hedging and hedge unwind activity or settlement activity in connection with such payment and delivery). |
Counterparty agrees that it will promptly cancel any repurchased Convertible Notes pursuant to Section 2.06 of the Supplemental Indenture.
For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions set forth below under Alternative Calculations and Dealer Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events, including and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein, shall apply to any Dealer Payment Obligation amount resulting from an Additional Termination Event set forth in clause (i) or (ii) above.
Disposition of Hedge Shares. Counterparty hereby agrees that if, in the good faith reasonable judgment of Dealer based on the advice of counsel, the Shares (the Hedge Shares) acquired by Dealer or any of its affiliates (collectively for the purposes of this paragraph only, Dealer) for the purpose of hedging its obligations pursuant to the Transaction cannot be sold in the public market by Dealer without registration under the Securities Act, Counterparty shall, at its election: (i) in order to allow Dealer to sell the Hedge Shares in a registered offering, make available to Dealer an effective registration statement under the Securities Act to cover the resale
15
of such Hedge Shares and (A) enter into an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Dealer, substantially in the form of an underwriting agreement for a registered offering of substantially similar size, (B) provide accountants comfort letters in customary form for registered offerings of equity securities of substantially similar size, (C) provide disclosure opinions of nationally recognized outside counsel to Counterparty reasonably acceptable to Dealer, (D) provide other customary opinions, certificates and closing documents customary in form for registered offerings of equity securities of substantially similar size and (E) afford Dealer a reasonable opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation with respect to Counterparty customary in scope for underwritten offerings of equity securities of substantially similar size; provided, however, that if Dealer, in its sole 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 paragraph shall apply at the election of Counterparty; (ii) in order to allow Dealer 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 of substantially similar size, in form and substance satisfactory to Dealer, including customary representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to Dealer, due diligence rights (for Dealer or any designated buyer of the Hedge Shares from Dealer), opinions and certificates and such other documentation as is customary for private placements agreements for private placements of equity securities of substantially similar size, all reasonably acceptable to Dealer (in which case, the Calculation Agent shall make any adjustments to the terms of the Transaction that are necessary, in its commercially reasonable determination, to compensate Dealer 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 Dealer at the VWAP Price on such Exchange Business Days, and in the amounts, requested by Dealer. 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 MRX.N <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, or is, in the Calculation Agents reasonable discretion, erroneous, the market value of one Share on such Exchange Business Day, as determined by the Calculation Agent using, if practicable, a volume-weighted method). This paragraph shall survive the termination, expiration or early unwind of the Transaction.
Status of Claims in Bankruptcy. Dealer acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to convey to Dealer rights with respect to the Transaction that are senior to the claims of common stockholders in any U.S. bankruptcy proceedings of Counterparty; provided that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealers right to pursue remedies in the event of a breach by Counterparty of its obligations and agreements with respect to the Transaction other than during Counterpartys bankruptcy; provided, further, that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealers rights in respect of any transactions other than the Transaction.
No Collateral. Notwithstanding any provision of this Confirmation, the Agreement, Equity Definitions, or any other agreement between the parties to the contrary, the obligations of Counterparty under the Transaction are not secured by any collateral.
Securities Contract; Swap Agreement. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that Dealer is a financial institution, swap participant and financial participant within the meaning of Sections 101(22), 101(53C) and 101(22A) of the Bankruptcy Code. The parties hereto further agree and acknowledge (A) that this Confirmation is (i) a securities contract, as such term is defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code, with respect to which each payment and delivery hereunder or in connection herewith is a termination value, payment amount or other transfer obligation within the meaning of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and a settlement payment or a transfer within the meaning of Section 546 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (ii) a swap agreement, as such term is defined in Section 101(53B) of the Bankruptcy Code, with respect to which each payment and delivery hereunder or in connection herewith is a termination value, a payment amount or other transfer obligation within the meaning of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and a transfer within the meaning of Section 546 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (B) that Dealer is entitled to the protections afforded by, among other sections, Section 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 362(b)(27), 362(o), 546(e), 546(g), 546(j), 548(d)(2), 555, 560 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code.
16
Repurchase Notices. Counterparty shall, on any day on which Counterparty effects any repurchase of Shares, provide Dealer with a written notice of such repurchase (a Repurchase Notice) on such day if, following such repurchase, the Unit Equity Percentage as determined on such day is greater by 0.5% or more than the Unit Equity Percentage included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice (or, in the case of the first such Repurchase Notice, greater by 0.5% or more than the Unit Equity Percentage as of the date hereof). The Unit Equity Percentage as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (i) the numerator of which is the sum of (A) the product of the number of Note Hedging Units and the Note Hedging Unit Entitlement and (B) the number of Shares underlying any other call option transaction between Dealer as seller and Counterparty as buyer, and (ii) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day. Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Dealer and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors, agents and controlling persons (each, a Section 16 Indemnified Person) from and against any and all losses (including losses relating to Dealers hedging activities as a consequence 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 reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees), joint or several, to which a Section 16 Indemnified Person may become subject, as a result of Counterpartys failure to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this paragraph, and to reimburse, within 30 days upon written request, each of such Section 16 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 Section 16 Indemnified Person, such Section 16 Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Counterparty in writing, and Counterparty, upon request of the Section 16 Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Section 16 Indemnified Person to represent the Section 16 Indemnified Person and any others Counterparty may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. Counterparty shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, Counterparty agrees to indemnify any Section 16 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 Section 16 Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Section 16 Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Section 16 Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Section 16 Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding on terms reasonably satisfactory to such Section 16 Indemnified Person. If the indemnification provided for in this paragraph is unavailable to a Section 16 Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then Counterparty, in lieu of indemnifying such Section 16 Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Section 16 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 that may otherwise be available to any Section 16 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.
Alternative Calculations and Dealer Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events. If Dealer owes Counterparty any amount in connection with the Transaction pursuant to Sections 12.2, 12.3 (and Consequences of Merger Events above), 12.6, 12.7 or 12.9 of the Equity Definitions (except in the case of an Extraordinary Event that (x) is within Counterpartys control or (y) as a result of which the Shares have changed into cash) or pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (except in the case of an Event of Default in which Counterparty is the Defaulting Party or a Termination Event in which Counterparty is the Affected Party, other than an Event of Default or a Termination Event that resulted from an event or events outside Counterpartys control) (a Dealer Payment Obligation), Counterparty shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to require Dealer to satisfy any such Dealer Payment Obligation by delivery of Termination Delivery Units (as defined below) by (A) giving irrevocable telephonic notice to Dealer, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day, between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. New York time on the Early Termination Date or other date the transaction is terminated, as applicable (Notice of Dealer Termination Delivery) and (B) remaking the representation set forth under No Material Non-Public Information below on the date of such notice; provided
17
that if Counterparty does not validly so elect (or is not permitted to elect) to require Dealer to satisfy its Dealer Payment Obligation by delivery of Termination Delivery Units, Dealer shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to elect to satisfy its Dealer Payment Obligation by delivery of Termination Delivery Units. Within a commercially reasonable period of time following receipt of a Notice of Dealer Termination Delivery or delivery by Dealer of notice of its election to satisfy the Dealer Payment Obligation by delivery of Termination Delivery Units, Dealer shall deliver to Counterparty a number of Termination Delivery Units having a cash value equal to the amount of such Dealer Payment Obligation (as determined by the Calculation Agent in a commercially reasonable manner). If the provisions set forth in this paragraph are applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.11 (modified as described above) and 9.12 of the Equity Definitions shall be applicable, except that all references to Shares shall be read as references to Termination Delivery Units. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Equity Definitions, Dealer may, in whole or in part, deliver securities comprising Termination Delivery Units in certificated form to Counterparty in lieu of delivery through the Clearance System.
Termination Delivery Unit means one Share or, if the Shares have changed into cash or any other property or the right to receive cash or any other property as the result of an Insolvency, Nationalization or Merger Event, a unit consisting of the number or amount of each type of property received by a holder of one Share (without consideration of any requirement to pay cash or other consideration in lieu of fractional amounts of any securities) in such Insolvency, Nationalization or Merger Event, as determined by the Calculation Agent. If such Insolvency, Nationalization or Merger Event involves a choice of consideration to be received by holders, the Calculation Agent shall determine the composition of such consideration in its commercially reasonable discretion.
No Material Non-Public Information. Counterparty represents and warrants to Dealer that it is not aware of any material nonpublic information concerning itself, the Shares or option contracts related to the Shares.
Right to Extend. Dealer may postpone any potential Exercise Date or Settlement Date or postpone or extend any other date of valuation or delivery with respect to some or all of the relevant Note Hedging Units (in which event the Calculation Agent shall make appropriate adjustments to the Settlement Amount for such Note Hedging Units), if Dealer determines, in its reasonable discretion based on the advice of counsel (in the case of clause (a) or sub-clause (b)(ii) below) or in its commercially reasonable discretion (in the case of sub-clause (b)(i) below), that (a) a Regulatory Disruption has occurred or (b) such extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate to (i) preserve Dealers hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions (but only if there is a material decrease in liquidity relative to Dealers expectations on the Trade Date) or (ii) enable Dealer to effect purchases of Shares in connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if Dealer were the Issuer or an affiliated purchaser of the Issuer, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer. Regulatory Disruption shall mean any event that Dealer determines makes it appropriate with regard to any legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements or related policies and procedures (whether or not such requirements, policies or procedures are imposed by law or have been voluntarily adopted by Dealer), for Dealer to refrain from or decrease any market activity in connection with the Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the case of a postponement pursuant to sub-clause (b)(i) above, no such Exercise Date or Settlement Date or other date of valuation or delivery may be postponed or added more than 30 Scheduled Trading Days after the original Exercise Date or Settlement Date or other date of valuation or delivery, as the case may be.
Transfer or Assignment. Counterparty may not transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Transaction without the prior written consent of Dealer not to be unreasonably withheld. For the avoidance of doubt, Dealer may condition its consent on any of the following, without limitation: (i) the receipt by Dealer of opinions and documentation reasonably satisfactory to Dealer in connection with such transfer, (ii) such transfer being effected on terms reasonably satisfactory to Dealer with respect to any legal and regulatory requirements relevant to Dealer, (iii) the transferee being a United States person (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), (iv) that, in Dealers reasonable determination, Dealer will not be required, as a result of such transfer, to pay the transferee an amount under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement greater than the amount, if any, that Dealer would have been required to pay to Counterparty in the absence of such transfer, (v) that, in Dealers reasonable determination, no Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or Termination Event will occur as a
18
result of such transfer and (vi) that Counterparty will continue to be obligated to provide notices hereunder relating to the Convertible Notes and will continue to be obligated under the provisions set forth under Disposition of Hedge Shares and Repurchase Notices herein. In addition, Dealer may not, without the consent of Counterparty (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), transfer or assign all or a portion of its Note Hedging Units hereunder except to any affiliate of Dealer (x) that has, at the time of such transfer or assignment, a rating for its long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness that is equal to or better than Dealers credit rating, or (y) whose obligation hereunder will be guaranteed, pursuant to the terms of a customary guarantee in a form used by Dealer generally for similar transactions, by Dealer or Dealer Parent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall be a further condition to a transfer or assignment by Dealer without Counterpartys consent that such transfer or assignment would not result in a deemed exchange by Counterparty of the transferred or assigned portion of the Transaction for a modified transaction that differs materially in kind or extent for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
If (a) at any time (1) the Section 16 Equity Percentage exceeds 8%, (2) the Unit Equity Percentage exceeds 14.5% or (3) Dealer, Dealer Group (as defined below) or any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Dealer or Dealer Group (Dealer, Dealer Group or any such person, a Dealer Person) under any federal, state or local (including non-U.S.) laws, rules, regulations or regulatory orders, or any organizational documents or contracts of Counterparty that are, in each case, applicable to ownership of Shares (Applicable Restrictions), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership, or could be reasonably viewed as meeting any of the foregoing, in excess of a number of Shares equal to (x) the number of Shares that would give rise to reporting, registration, filing or notification obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval by a state, federal or non-U.S. regulator) of a Dealer Person, or could result in an adverse effect on a Dealer Person (except for any filings of Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G under the Exchange Act or any other filing obligations applicable as of the date hereof), under Applicable Restrictions, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion, and with respect to which such requirements have not been met or the relevant approval has not been received minus (y) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding on the date of determination (either such condition described in clause (1), (2) or (3), an Excess Ownership Position), and (b) Dealer is unable, after commercially reasonable efforts, to effect a transfer or assignment on pricing and terms and within a time period reasonably acceptable to it of all or a portion of this Transaction pursuant to the preceding paragraph such that an Excess Ownership Position no longer exists (it being understood and agreed that, if an Excess Ownership Position exists, the condition to transfer or assignment set forth in the last sentence of the preceding paragraph shall not apply), Dealer may designate any Scheduled Trading Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion (the Terminated Portion) of this Transaction, such that an Excess Ownership Position no longer exists following such partial termination. In the event that Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of this Transaction, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (i) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to this Transaction and a Number of Note Hedging Units equal to the Terminated Portion, (ii) Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (iii) such Transaction shall be the only Terminated Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions set forth under the caption Alternative Calculations and Dealer Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events shall apply to any amount that is payable by Dealer to Counterparty pursuant to this sentence). The Section 16 Equity Percentage as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Dealer and any of its affiliates subject to aggregation with Dealer 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 Dealer (collectively, Dealer Group) beneficially own (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act) without duplication on such day (or to the extent that the equivalent calculation under Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder results in a higher number, such number) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day.
Designation by Dealer. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any shares or other securities to or from Counterparty, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such shares or other securities and otherwise to perform Dealers obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such performance.
19
Role of Agent. Each party agrees and acknowledges that (i) J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, an affiliate of Dealer (JPMS), has acted solely as agent and not as principal with respect to the Transaction and (ii) JPMS has no obligation or liability, by way of guaranty, endorsement or otherwise, in any manner in respect of the Transaction (including, if applicable, in respect of the settlement thereof). Each party agrees it will look solely to the other party for performance of such other partys obligations under the Transaction.
Severability; Illegality. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, if compliance by either party with any provision of the Transaction would be unenforceable or illegal, (a) the parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such unenforceability or illegality in a manner that preserves the economic benefits of the transactions contemplated hereby and (b) the other provisions of the Transaction shall not be invalidated, but shall remain in full force and effect.
Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THE TRANSACTION. EACH PARTY (I) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF SUCH A SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTY HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THE TRANSACTION, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS PROVIDED HEREIN.
Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act. In connection with Section 739 of the Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act of 2010 (WSTAA), the parties hereby agree that neither the enactment of WSTAA or any regulation under the WSTAA, nor any requirement under WSTAA or an amendment made by WSTAA, shall limit or otherwise impair either partys otherwise applicable rights to terminate, renegotiate, modify, amend or supplement this Confirmation or the Agreement, as applicable, arising from a termination event, force majeure, illegality, increased costs, regulatory change or similar event under this Confirmation, the Equity Definitions incorporated herein, or the Agreement (including, but not limited to, rights arising from Change in Law, Hedging Disruption, Increased Cost of Hedging, an Excess Ownership Position, or Illegality (as defined in the Agreement)).
Agreements and Acknowledgements Regarding Hedging. Counterparty understands, acknowledges and agrees that: (A) at any time on and prior to the Expiration Date, Dealer and its affiliates may buy or sell Shares or other securities or buy or sell options or futures contracts or enter into swaps or other derivative securities in order to adjust its hedge position with respect to the Transaction; (B) Dealer and its affiliates also may be active in the market for Shares other than in connection with hedging activities in relation to the Transaction; (C) Dealer shall make its own determination as to whether, when or in what manner any hedging or market activities in securities of Issuer shall be conducted and shall do so in a manner that it deems appropriate to hedge its price and market risk with respect to the Daily VWAP; and (D) any market activities of Dealer and its affiliates with respect to Shares may affect the market price and volatility of Shares, as well as the Daily VWAP, each in a manner that may be adverse to Counterparty.
Early Unwind. In the event the sale of the Firm Securities (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement) is not consummated with the underwriters thereof for any reason, other than in cases involving breach of the Underwriting Agreement by Dealer or its affiliate, by the close of business in New York on May 23, 2012 (or such later date as agreed upon by the parties) (May 23, 2012 or such later date as agreed upon being the Early Unwind Date), the Transaction shall automatically terminate (the Early Unwind) on the Early Unwind Date and (a) the Transaction and all of the respective rights and obligations of Dealer and Counterparty under the Transaction shall be cancelled and terminated and (b) each party shall be released and discharged by the other party from and agrees not to make any claim against the other party with respect to any obligations or liabilities of the other party arising out of and to be performed in connection with the Transaction either prior to or after the Early Unwind Date. Dealer and Counterparty represent and acknowledge to the other that, upon an Early Unwind, all obligations with respect to the Transaction shall be deemed fully and finally discharged.
20
Payment by Counterparty. In the event that, following payment of the Premium, (i) an Early Termination Date occurs or is designated with respect to the Transaction as a result of a Termination Event or an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default or Termination Event within Counterpartys control) and, as a result, Counterparty owes to Dealer an amount calculated under Section 6(e) of the Agreement, or (ii) Counterparty owes to Dealer any amount under Consequences of Merger Events above (other than as a result of a Merger Event that resulted from an event or events within Counterpartys control), such amount shall be deemed to be zero.
Part 2(b) of the ISDA Schedule Payee Representation. For the purpose of Section 3(f) of this Agreement, Counterparty makes the following representation to Dealer:
Counterparty is a corporation established under the laws of the State of Delaware and is a United States person (as that term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code).

Extraordinary Events: |
||

Section 1821(e)(8)(D)(i) and (b) a Non-defaulting Partys rights under Sections 5 and 6 of the Agreement constitute rights of the kind referred to in 12 U.S.C. Section 1821(e)(8)(A).
Method of Delivery. Whenever delivery of funds or other assets is required hereunder by or to Counterparty, such delivery shall be effected through Agent. In addition, all notices, demands and communications of any kind relating to the Transaction between Dealer and Counterparty shall be transmitted exclusively through Agent.
Status of Claims in Bankruptcy. Dealer acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to convey to Dealer rights with respect to the Transaction that are senior to the claims of common stockholders in any U.S. bankruptcy proceedings of Counterparty; provided that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealers right to pursue remedies in the event of a breach by Counterparty of its obligations and agreements with respect to the Transaction outside of Counterpartys bankruptcy; provided, further, that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealers rights in respect of any transactions other than the Transaction.
No Collateral. Notwithstanding any provision of this Confirmation, the Agreement, Equity Definitions, or any other agreement between the parties to the contrary, the obligations of Counterparty under the Transaction are not secured by any collateral.
Securities Contract; Swap Agreement. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that Dealer is a financial institution, swap participant and financial participant within the meaning of Sections 101(22), 101(53C) and 101(22A) of the Bankruptcy Code. The parties hereto further agree and acknowledge (A) that this Confirmation is (i) a securities contract, as such term is defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code, with respect to which each payment and delivery hereunder or in connection herewith is a termination value, payment amount or other transfer obligation within the meaning of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and a settlement payment or a transfer within the meaning of Section 546 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (ii) a swap agreement, as such term is defined in Section 101(53B) of the Bankruptcy Code, with respect to which each payment and delivery hereunder or in connection herewith is a termination value, a payment amount or other transfer obligation within the meaning of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and a transfer within the meaning of Section 546 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (B) that Dealer is entitled to the protections afforded by, among other sections, Section 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 362(b)(27), 362(o), 546(e), 546(g), 546(j), 548(d)(2), 555, 560 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code.
Alternative Calculations and Counterparty Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events. If Counterparty owes Dealer any amount in connection with the Transaction pursuant to Sections 12.2, 12.3, 12.6, 12.7 or 12.9 of the Equity Definitions (except in the case of an Extraordinary Event (x) that is within Counterpartys control or (y) as a result of which the Shares have changed into cash) or pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (except in the case of an Event of Default in which Counterparty is the Defaulting Party or a Termination Event in which Counterparty is the Affected Party, other than an Event of Default or a
13
Termination Event that resulted from an event or events outside Counterpartys control) (a Counterparty Payment Obligation), Counterparty shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to satisfy any such Counterparty Payment Obligation by delivery of Termination Delivery Units (as defined below) by (A) giving irrevocable telephonic notice to Dealer, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day, between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. New York time on the Early Termination Date or other date the transaction is terminated, as applicable (Notice of Counterparty Termination Delivery) and (B) remaking the representation set forth under No Material Non-Public Information below on the date of such notice; provided that if Counterparty does not validly elect (or is not permitted to elect) to satisfy its Counterparty Payment Obligation by delivery of Termination Delivery Units, Dealer shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to elect to require Counterparty to satisfy its Counterparty Payment Obligation by delivery of Termination Delivery Units. On a date determined by the Calculation Agent that is within a commercially reasonable period of time following receipt of a Notice of Counterparty Termination Delivery or a notice from Dealer requiring Counterparty to satisfy its Counterparty Payment Obligation by delivery of Termination Delivery Units, as the case may be, Counterparty shall deliver to Dealer a number of Termination Delivery Units having a cash value equal to the amount of such Counterparty Payment Obligation (as determined by the Calculation Agent in a commercially reasonable manner), subject to the provisions set forth opposite the caption Registration/Private Placement Procedures below. If the provisions set forth in this paragraph are applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.11 (modified as described above) and 9.12 of the Equity Definitions shall be applicable, except that all references to Shares shall be read as references to Termination Delivery Units.
Termination Delivery Unit means one Share or, if the Shares have changed into cash or any other property or the right to receive cash or any other property as the result of an Insolvency, Nationalization, Merger Event or Tender Offer, a unit consisting of the number or amount of each type of property received by a holder of one Share (without consideration of any requirement to pay cash or other consideration in lieu of fractional amounts of any securities) in such Insolvency, Nationalization, Merger Event or Tender Offer. If such Insolvency, Nationalization, Merger Event or Tender Offer involves a choice of consideration to be received by holders, the Calculation Agent shall determine the composition of such consideration in its commercially reasonable discretion.
Registration/Private Placement Procedures. If, in the reasonable opinion of Dealer based on advice of counsel, any Shares or Termination Delivery Units deliverable to Dealer hereunder, for any reason, would be in the hands of Dealer subject to any applicable restrictions on transfer (including, without limitation, any registration or qualification requirement or prospectus delivery requirement for such Shares or Termination Delivery Units) pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities law or otherwise (including, without limitation, any such requirement arising under Section 5 of the Securities Act as a result of such Shares or Termination Delivery Units being restricted securities, as such term is defined in Rule 144) (such Shares or Termination Delivery Units, Restricted Shares), then delivery of such Restricted Shares shall be effected pursuant to either clause (i) or (ii) of Annex A hereto at the election of Counterparty, unless the requirements of such clauses (i) and (ii) are waived by Dealer with respect to such delivery. Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely in respect of any Warrants exercised or deemed exercised on any Exercise Date, Counterparty shall elect, prior to the first Settlement Date for the first Exercise Date (or, if later, prior to the third Scheduled Trading Day following the date of notification by Dealer of the need for such settlement procedures), a Private Placement Settlement of similar size (as defined in Annex A hereto) or Registration Settlement (as defined in Annex A hereto) for all deliveries of Restricted Shares for all such Exercise Dates which election shall be applicable to all Settlement Dates for such Warrants and the procedures in clause (i) or clause (ii) of Annex A hereto shall apply for all such delivered Restricted Shares on an aggregate basis commencing after the final Settlement Date for such Warrants. The Calculation Agent shall make reasonable adjustments to settlement terms and provisions under this Confirmation to reflect a single Private Placement Settlement or Registration Settlement for such aggregate Restricted Shares delivered hereunder. If the Private Placement Settlement or the Registration Settlement shall not be effected as set forth in clauses (i) or (ii) of Annex A, as applicable, then failure to effect such Private Placement Settlement or such Registration Settlement shall constitute an Event of Default with respect to which Counterparty shall be the Defaulting Party.
14
Share Deliveries. Counterparty acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent that Dealer (or its affiliate) is not then an affiliate, as such term is used in Rule 144, of Counterparty and has not been such an affiliate of Counterparty for 90 days (it being understood that Dealer or its affiliate shall not be considered such an affiliate of Counterparty solely by reason of its right to receive Shares pursuant to a Transaction hereunder), any Shares or Termination Delivery Units delivered hereunder either prior to or after the first anniversary of the Premium Payment Date shall be eligible for resale under Rule 144 or any successor provision at all times following such first anniversary, and Counterparty agrees that any Shares or Termination Delivery Units delivered after such first anniversary shall not bear any legends restricting, or referring to restrictions on, the resale of such securities, and, with respect to any Shares or Termination Delivery Units delivered prior to such first anniversary, on such first anniversary Counterparty shall remove, or cause the transfer agent for such Shares or Termination Delivery Units to remove, any legends referring to any restrictions on resale under the Securities Act from the certificates representing such Shares or Termination Delivery Units, without any requirement for the delivery of any certificate, consent, agreement, opinion of counsel, notice or any other document, any transfer tax stamps or payment of any other amount or any other action by Dealer or such affiliate. Counterparty further agrees that with respect to any Shares or Termination Delivery Units delivered hereunder at any time after 6 months from the Premium Payment Date but prior to 1 year from the Premium Payment Date, to the extent that Counterparty then satisfies the current information requirement of Rule 144, Counterparty shall promptly remove, or cause the transfer agent for such Shares or Termination Delivery Units to remove, any legends referring to any such restrictions or requirements from the certificates representing such Share or Termination Delivery Units upon delivery by Dealer or its affiliate to Counterparty or such transfer agent of any customary sellers and brokers representation letters in connection with resales of such Shares or Termination Delivery Units pursuant to Rule 144, without any further requirement for the delivery of any certificate, consent, agreement, opinion of counsel, notice or any other document, any transfer tax stamps or payment of any other amount or any other action by Dealer or such affiliate. Counterparty further agrees and acknowledges that Dealer (or its affiliate) shall run a holding period under Rule 144 from the Premium Payment Date with respect to the Warrants and/or any Shares or Termination Delivery Units delivered hereunder notwithstanding the existence of any other transaction or transactions between Counterparty and Dealer relating to the Shares. Counterparty further agrees that Shares or Termination Delivery Units delivered hereunder prior to the date that is 6 months from the Premium Payment Date may be freely transferred among Dealer and its affiliates, and Counterparty shall effect such transfer without any further action by Dealer or its affiliates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Counterparty agrees that any delivery of Shares or Termination Delivery Units shall be effected by book-entry transfer through the facilities of the Clearance System if, at the time of such delivery, the certificates representing such Shares or Termination Delivery Units would not contain any restrictive legend as described above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent the provisions of Rule 144 or any successor rule are amended, or the applicable interpretation thereof by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any court changes after the Trade Date, the agreements of Counterparty herein shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary, in the opinion of outside counsel of Counterparty, to comply with Rule 144, including Rule 144(b) or any successor provision, as in effect at the time of delivery of the relevant Shares or Termination Delivery Units.
No Material Non-Public Information. Counterparty represents and warrants to Dealer that it is not aware of any material nonpublic information concerning itself, the Shares or option contracts related to the Shares.
Limit on Beneficial Ownership. Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, Dealer may not exercise any Warrant hereunder, Automatic Exercise shall not apply with respect thereto, and no delivery hereunder (including pursuant to provisions opposite the headings Alternative Calculations and Counterparty Payments on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events, Registration/Private Placement Procedures, Limitation on Delivery of Shares or Annex A) shall be made, to the extent (but only to the extent) that the receipt of any Shares upon such exercise or delivery would result in the existence of an Excess Ownership Position as set forth in clause (1) or (3) of the definition thereof. Any purported delivery hereunder shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that such delivery would result in the existence of such an Excess Ownership Position. If any delivery owed to Dealer or exercise hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, Counterpartys obligation to make such delivery and Dealers right to exercise a Warrant shall not be extinguished and Counterparty shall make such delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than one Clearance System Business Day after, Dealer gives notice to Counterparty that such exercise or delivery would not result in the existence of such an Excess Ownership Position.
15
Repurchase Notices. Counterparty shall, on any day on which Counterparty effects any repurchase of Shares, provide Dealer with a written notice of such repurchase (a Repurchase Notice) on such day if, following such repurchase, the Warrant Equity Percentage (as defined below) is greater by 0.5% or more than the Warrant Equity Percentage set forth in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice (or, in the case of the first such Repurchase Notice, greater by 0.5% or more than the Warrant Equity Percentage as of the date hereof). The Warrant Equity Percentage as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, of (1) the numerator of which is the sum of (A) the product of the Number of Warrants and the Warrant Entitlement and (B) the number of Shares underlying any other warrant transaction between Counterparty as seller and Dealer as buyer and (2) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day. Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Dealer and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, advisors, agents and controlling person (each, an Indemnified Person) from and against any and all losses (including losses relating to Dealers hedging activities as a consequence of becoming an insider as defined under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, including without limitation, any forbearance from hedging activities or cessation of hedging activities and any losses in connection therewith with respect to this Transaction), claims, damages, judgments, liabilities and reasonable expense (including reasonable attorneys fees), joint or several, which an Indemnified Person actually may become subject to, as a result of Counterpartys failure to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified herein, and to reimburse, upon written request, each of such Indemnified Persons for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing for, providing testimony or other evidence in connection with or defending any of the foregoing. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against the Indemnified Person, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify 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 reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. Counterparty shall be relieved from liability to the extent that the Indemnified Person fails promptly to notify Counterparty of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder; provided that failure to notify Counterparty (x) shall not relieve Counterparty from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and (y) shall not, in any event, relieve Counterparty from any liability that it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. Counterparty shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, 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 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, 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 that may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this paragraph shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of the Transaction.
Limitation On Delivery of Shares. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Counterparty be required at any time to deliver any Shares hereunder to the extent that the number of Shares otherwise deliverable would exceed (i) prior to receipt of the Required NYSE Stockholder Approval, 6,861,831 Shares less the total number of Shares previously delivered hereunder or under any warrant transaction that (x) is entered into by Dealer and Counterparty within 30 days of the date hereof and (y) except with respect to the number of warrants and the premium, is substantially similar hereto (any such transaction, an Other Warrant Transaction) or (ii) following receipt of the Required NYSE Stockholder Approval, two times the Number of Shares (the Maximum Delivery Amount). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, this Confirmation or the Equity Definitions, in no event shall the Maximum Delivery Amount be
16
subject to adjustment, other than any adjustment that (a) prior to receipt of the Required NYSE Stockholder Approval, is made pursuant to Article 11 or 12 of the Equity Definitions (without any amendment thereto pursuant to the terms of this Confirmation), and (b) to the extent that such adjustment would cause the Maximum Delivery Amount to exceed the number of Available Shares, results from actions of Counterparty or events within Counterpartys control. Counterparty represents and warrants (which shall be deemed to be repeated on each day that the Transaction is outstanding) that the Maximum Delivery Amount is equal to or less than the number of authorized but unissued Shares of Counterparty that are not reserved for future issuance in connection with transactions in the Shares other than the Transaction and, prior to receipt of the Required NYSE Stockholder Approval, any Other Warrant Transaction (such Shares, the Available Shares). In the event that, notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Counterparty shall not have delivered the full number of Shares otherwise deliverable hereunder because Counterparty has insufficient authorized but unissued Shares that are not reserved for future issuance under transactions other than the Transaction and, prior to receipt of the Required NYSE Stockholder Approval, any Other Warrant Transaction (the resulting deficit, the Deficit Shares), Counterparty shall be continually obligated to deliver, from time to time until the full number of Deficit Shares have been delivered pursuant to this paragraph, Shares when, and to the extent, that (A) Shares are repurchased, acquired or otherwise received by Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries after the Trade Date (whether or not in exchange for cash, fair value or any other consideration), (B) authorized and unissued Shares previously reserved for issuance in respect of other transactions become no longer so reserved and (C) Counterparty additionally authorizes any unissued Shares that are not reserved for such other transactions. Counterparty shall reasonably promptly notify Dealer of the occurrence of any of the foregoing events (including the number of Shares subject to clause (A), (B) or (C) and the corresponding number of Shares to be delivered) and promptly deliver such Shares thereafter. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5 of the Agreement, in the event of a failure by Counterparty to comply with the agreement set forth in this provision, there shall be no grace period for remedy of such failure.
Additional Termination Event. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an Additional Termination Event with respect to which (1) Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party and (2) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction; provided that with respect to any Additional Termination Event, Dealer may choose to treat part of the Transaction as the sole Affected Transaction, and, upon termination of the Affected Transaction, a Transaction with terms identical to those set forth herein except with a Number of Warrants equal to the unaffected number of Warrants shall be treated for all purposes as the Transaction, which shall remain in full force and effect:
(i) Dealer reasonably determines, based on advice of counsel, that it is advisable to terminate a portion of the Transaction so that Dealers related hedging activities will comply with applicable securities laws, rules or regulations;
(ii) any person or group within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, other than Counterparty, its subsidiaries and its and their employee benefit plans, files a Schedule TO or any schedule, form or report under the Exchange Act disclosing that such person or group has become the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of Counterpartys common equity representing more than 50% of the voting power of its common equity;
(iii) the consummation of (A) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Shares (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination) as a result of which the Shares would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets; (B) any share exchange, consolidation or merger of Counterparty pursuant to which the Shares will be converted into cash, securities or other property, other than a merger of Counterparty solely for the purpose of changing its jurisdiction of incorporation that results in a reclassification, conversion or exchange of outstanding Shares solely into shares of common stock of the surviving entity; or (C) any sale, lease or other transfer in one transaction or a series of transactions of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of Counterparty and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any person other than one of its subsidiaries; or
17
(iv) (A) at any time the price per Share on the Exchange (as determined by the Calculation Agent) is at or above USD 500.00 (subject to adjustment as provided in this Confirmation and the Equity Definitions, except that, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to a Potential Adjustment Event, any such adjustment may become effective as of the announcement of the relevant Potential Adjustment Event), unless Counterparty has received approval from its stockholders in accordance with the requirements of Rule 312.03(c) of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual (or any successor thereto) for (x) the issuance pursuant to the Transaction of a number of Shares up to two times the Number of Shares and (y) the issuance pursuant to any Other Warrant Transaction of a number of Shares up to two times the Number of Shares, as defined in the confirmation therefor (such approval, the Required NYSE Stockholder Approval) and (B) Dealer reasonably believes that, if Counterparty were to validly elect to deliver Termination Delivery Units in respect of any Counterparty Payment Obligation upon the occurrence at such time of any event described in Alternative Calculations and Counterparty Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events, such Termination Delivery Units would constitute Restricted Shares.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, transactions described in clause (ii) or (iii) above shall not constitute Additional Termination Events under such clause if (a) at least 90% of the consideration paid for the Shares (excluding cash payments for fractional shares and cash payments made pursuant to dissenters appraisal rights and cash dividends) in a transaction otherwise constituting an Additional Termination Event under clause (ii) or (iii) above consists of shares of common stock traded or quoted on The New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market or The NASDAQ Global Market (or any of their respective successors), or will be so traded or quoted immediately following the completion of such transaction and (b) as a result of the completion of such transaction, the Shares are composed of such consideration.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Equity Definitions or the Agreement, any Counterparty Payment Obligation shall, for all purposes, be calculated without regard to the provisions set forth under Limitation on Delivery of Shares above; provided that the number of Shares deliverable pursuant to the provisions set forth under Alternative Calculations and Counterparty Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events above (if applicable) shall not exceed the applicable Maximum Delivery Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions set forth above under Alternative Calculations and Counterparty Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events, including and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein and above, shall apply to any Counterparty Payment Obligation amount resulting from such Additional Termination Events.
Right to Extend. Dealer may postpone any Exercise Date or Settlement Date or any other date of valuation or delivery with respect to some or all of the relevant Warrants (in which event the Calculation Agent shall make appropriate adjustments to the Net Share Amount with respect to one or more Components), if Dealer determines, in its commercially reasonable discretion (in the case of the immediately following clause (i)) or in its reasonable discretion based on advice of counsel (in the case of the immediately following clause (ii)), that such extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate to (i) preserve Dealers (or its affiliates) hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions in the cash market, the stock loan market or any other relevant market (but only if there is a material decrease in liquidity relative to Dealers expectations on the Trade Date) or (ii) to enable Dealer (or its affiliate) to effect purchases of Shares in connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if Dealer (or such affiliate) were Counterparty or an affiliate of Counterparty, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer (or such affiliate).
Transfer or Assignment. Counterparty may not transfer any of its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Dealer. Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement to the contrary, Dealer may, subject to applicable law, freely transfer and assign all of its rights and obligations under the Transaction without the consent of Counterparty.
If (a) at any time (1) the Section 16 Equity Percentage exceeds 8%, (2) the Warrant Equity Percentage exceeds 14.5% or (3) Dealer, Dealer Group (as defined below) or any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Dealer or Dealer Group (Dealer, Dealer Group or any such person, a Dealer Person) under any federal, state or local (including non-U.S.) laws, rules, regulations or regulatory orders or
18
organizational documents or contracts of Counterparty that are, in each case, applicable to ownership of Shares (Applicable Restrictions), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership, or could be reasonably viewed as meeting any of the foregoing, in excess of a number of Shares equal to (x) the number of Shares that would give rise to reporting, registration, filing or notification obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval by a state, federal or non-U.S. regulator) of a Dealer Person (except for filings of Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G under the Exchange Act or any other filing obligations applicable as of the date hereof), or could result in an adverse effect on a Dealer Person, under Applicable Restrictions, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion, and with respect to which such requirements have not been met or the relevant approval has not been received minus (y) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding on the date of determination (either such condition described in clause (1), (2) or (3), an Excess Ownership Position), and (b) Dealer is unable, after commercially reasonable efforts, to effect a transfer or assignment on pricing and terms and within a time period reasonably acceptable to it of all or a portion of this Transaction pursuant to the preceding paragraph such that an Excess Ownership Position no longer exists, Dealer may designate any Scheduled Trading Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion (the Terminated Portion) of this Transaction, such that an Excess Ownership Position no longer exists following such partial termination. In the event that Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of this Transaction, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (i) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to this Transaction and a Number of Warrants equal to the Terminated Portion (allocated among the Components thereof in the discretion of Dealer), (ii) Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (iii) such Transaction shall be the only Terminated Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions set forth under the caption Alternative Calculations and Counterparty Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events shall apply to any amount that is payable by Counterparty to Dealer pursuant to this sentence). The Section 16 Equity Percentage as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Dealer and any of its affiliates subject to aggregation with Dealer 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 Dealer (collectively, Dealer Group) beneficially own (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act) without duplication on such day (or, to the extent that the equivalent calculation under Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder results in a higher number, such number) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day.
Designation by Dealer. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to or from Counterparty, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities and otherwise to perform Dealers obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such performance.
Amendments to Equity Definitions. (a) Section 12.9(b)(iv) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by: (i) deleting (1) subsection (A) in its entirety, (2) the phrase or (B) following subsection (A) and (3) the phrase in each case in subsection (B); (ii) replacing will lend with lends in subsection (B); and (iii) replacing the phrase neither the Non-Hedging Party nor the Lending Party lends Shares with the phrase such Lending Party does not lend Shares in the penultimate sentence; and (b) Section 12.9(b)(v) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by: (i) adding the word or immediately before subsection (B) and deleting the comma at the end of subsection (A); (ii) (1) deleting subsection (C) in its entirety, (2) deleting the word or immediately preceding subsection (C) and (3) deleting the penultimate sentence in its entirety and replacing it with the sentence The Hedging Party will determine the Cancellation Amount payable by one party to the other; and (iii) deleting subsection (X) in its entirety and the words or (Y) immediately following subsection (X).
Matters Related to Agent. Each party agrees and acknowledges that (i) Agent acts solely as agent on a disclosed basis with respect to the Transaction, and (ii) Agent has no obligation, by guaranty, endorsement or otherwise with respect to the obligations of either Counterparty or Dealer hereunder, either with respect to the delivery of cash or Shares, either at the beginning or the end of the Transaction. In this regard, each of Counterparty and Dealer acknowledges and agrees to look solely to the other for performance hereunder, and not to Agent.
19
Severability; Illegality. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, if compliance by either party with any provision of the Transaction would be unenforceable or illegal, (a) the parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such unenforceability or illegality in a manner that preserves the economic benefits of the transactions contemplated hereby and (b) the other provisions of the Transaction shall not be invalidated, but shall remain in full force and effect.
Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THE TRANSACTION. EACH PARTY (I) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF SUCH A SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTY HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THE TRANSACTION, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS PROVIDED HEREIN.
Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act. In connection with Section 739 of the Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act of 2010 (WSTAA), the parties hereby agree that neither the enactment of WSTAA or any regulation under the WSTAA, nor any requirement under WSTAA or an amendment made by WSTAA, shall limit or otherwise impair either partys otherwise applicable rights to terminate, renegotiate, modify, amend or supplement this Confirmation or the Agreement, as applicable, arising from a termination event, force majeure, illegality, increased costs, regulatory change or similar event under this Confirmation, the Equity Definitions incorporated herein, or the Agreement (including, but not limited to, rights arising from Change in Law, Hedging Disruption, Increased Cost of Hedging, an Excess Ownership Position, or Illegality (as defined in the Agreement)).
Agreements and Acknowledgements Regarding Hedging. Counterparty understands, acknowledges and agrees that: (A) at any time on and prior to the Expiration Date, Dealer and its affiliates may buy or sell Shares or other securities or buy or sell options or futures contracts or enter into swaps or other derivative securities in order to adjust its hedge position with respect to the Transaction; (B) Dealer and its affiliates also may be active in the market for Shares other than in connection with hedging activities in relation to the Transaction; (C) Dealer shall make its own determination as to whether, when or in what manner any hedging or market activities in securities of Counterparty shall be conducted and shall do so in a manner that it deems appropriate to hedge its price and market risk with respect to the Relevant Prices; and (D) any market activities of Dealer and its affiliates with respect to Shares may affect the market price and volatility of Shares, as well as the Relevant Prices, each in a manner that may be adverse to Counterparty.
Early Unwind. In the event the sale of the Firm Securities (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement) is not consummated with the underwriters thereof for any reason, other than in cases involving breach of the Underwriting Agreement by Dealer or its affiliate, by the close of business in New York on May 23, 2012 (or such later date as agreed upon by the parties) (May 23, 2012 or such later date as agreed upon being the Early Unwind Date), the Transaction shall automatically terminate (the Early Unwind) on the Early Unwind Date and (a) the Transaction and all of the respective rights and obligations of Dealer and Counterparty under the Transaction shall be cancelled and terminated and (b) each party shall be released and discharged by the other party from and agrees not to make any claim against the other party with respect to any obligations or liabilities of the other party arising out of and to be performed in connection with the Transaction either prior to or after the Early Unwind Date.

ANNEX A
Registration Settlement and Private Placement Settlement
(i) | If Counterparty elects to settle the Transaction pursuant to this clause (i) (a Private Placement Settlement), then delivery of Restricted Shares by Counterparty shall be effected in customary private placement procedures for private placements of equity securities of similar size with respect to such Restricted Shares reasonably acceptable to Dealer; provided that Counterparty may not elect a Private Placement Settlement if, on the date of its election, it has taken, or caused to be taken, any action that would make unavailable either the exemption pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for the sale by Counterparty to Dealer (or any affiliate designated by Dealer) of the Restricted Shares or the exemption pursuant to Section 4(1) or Section 4(3) of the Securities Act for resales of the Restricted Shares by Dealer (or any such affiliate of Dealer). Dealer or its affiliate and Counterparty shall enter into a private placement agreement that is customary in form and substance for private placements of equity securities of similar size in connection with any Private Placement Settlement (including the resale of the Restricted Shares and any Make-Whole Shares by Dealer or its affiliate), which agreement shall include, without limitation, customary representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to Dealer and its affiliates, due diligence rights (for Dealer or its affiliate or any potential buyer of the Restricted Shares or Make-Whole Shares, as the case may be, designated by Dealer or its affiliate), opinions and certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for private placement agreements for private placements of equity securities of similar size, all reasonably acceptable to Dealer or its affiliate. |
(ii) | If Counterparty elects to settle the Transaction pursuant to this clause (ii) (a Registration Settlement), then Counterparty shall promptly (but in any event no later than the beginning of the Resale Period) file and use its reasonable best efforts to make effective under the Securities Act a registration statement or supplement or amend an outstanding registration statement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Dealer, to cover the resale of such Restricted Shares (and any Make-whole Shares) in accordance with customary resale registration procedures for offerings of equity securities of similar size, including entry by Dealer or its affiliate and Counterparty into an underwriting agreement that is customary in form and substance for registered secondary equity offerings of similar size, including, without limitation, covenants, conditions, representations, underwriting discounts (if applicable), commissions (if applicable), indemnities, due diligence rights (for Dealer, its affiliate or any potential buyer of the Restricted Shares or Make-whole Shares, as the case may be, designated by Dealer or its affiliate), opinions and certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for equity resale underwriting agreements for offerings of similar size, all reasonably acceptable to Dealer or its affiliate. If Dealer or its affiliate, in its sole discretion, is not satisfied with such procedures and documentation, Private Placement Settlement shall apply. If Dealer or its affiliate is satisfied with such procedures and documentation, it shall sell the Restricted Shares (or any Make-whole Shares) pursuant to such registration statement during a period (the Resale Period) commencing on the Exchange Business Day following delivery of such Restricted Shares (or any Make-whole Shares) and ending on the earliest of (i) the Exchange Business Day on which Dealer or its affiliate completes the sale of all Restricted Shares or, in the case of settlement of Termination Delivery Units, a sufficient number of Restricted Shares so that the realized net proceeds of such sales exceed the Counterparty Payment Obligation and (ii) the date upon which all Restricted Shares (and any Make-whole Shares) may be sold or transferred by a non-affiliate pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in force) without any further restriction whatsoever. |
(iii) | If (ii) above is applicable and the Net Share Settlement Amount or the Counterparty Payment Obligation, as applicable, exceeds the realized net proceeds from such resale, or if (i) above is applicable and the Freely Tradeable Value (as defined below) of the Shares owed pursuant to the Net Share Settlement Amount, or the Counterparty Payment Obligation (in each case as adjusted pursuant to (i) above), as applicable, exceeds the realized net proceeds from such resale, Counterparty shall transfer to Dealer or its affiliate by the open of the regular trading session on the Exchange on the third Exchange Business Day immediately following the last day of the Resale Period the amount of such excess (the Additional Amount), at its option, either in cash or in a number of Restricted Shares |
A-1
(Make-whole Shares, provided that the aggregate number of Restricted Shares and Make-whole Shares delivered shall not exceed the Maximum Delivery Amount) that, based on the Relevant Price on the last day of the Resale Period (as if such day was the Valuation Date for purposes of computing such Relevant Price), has a value equal to the Additional Amount. If Counterparty elects to pay the Additional Amount in Make-whole Shares, Counterparty shall elect whether the requirements and provisions for either Private Placement Settlement or Registration Settlement shall apply to such payment. This provision shall be applied successively until the Additional Amount is equal to zero, subject to Limitation on Delivery of Shares. Freely Tradeable Value means the value of the number of Shares delivered to Dealer or its affiliate which such Shares would have if they were freely tradeable (without prospectus delivery) upon receipt by Dealer or its affiliate, as determined by the Calculation Agent by reference to the Relevant Price for freely tradeable Shares as of the Valuation Date, or other date of valuation used in a commercially reasonable manner to determine the delivery obligation with respect to such Shares, or by other commercially reasonable means. |

Net Share Amount: | For any Exercise Date, a number of Shares, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to (x) the product of (i) the number of Warrants being exercised or deemed exercised on such Exercise Date, (ii) the Warrant Entitlement and (iii) the excess, if any, of the Relevant Price for the Valuation Date occurring on such Exercise Date over the Strike Price (such product, the Net Share Settlement Amount), divided by (y) such Relevant Price. | |

Settlement Currency: | USD. | |
Other Applicable Provisions: | The provisions of Sections 9.1(c), 9.8, 9.9, 9.11 (except that, with respect to any Private Placement Settlement, the Representation and Agreement contained in Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions shall be modified by excluding any representations therein relating to restrictions, obligations, limitations or requirements under applicable securities laws as a result of the fact that Counterparty is the Issuer of the Shares) and 9.12 of the Equity Definitions will be applicable, except that all references in such provisions to Physical Settlement and Physically-settled shall be read as references to Net Share Settlement and Net Share Settled.

5
Dividends: | ||
In respect of any Component: | ||
Dividend Adjustments: | Counterparty agrees to notify Dealer promptly of the announcement of an ex-dividend date for any cash dividend by Counterparty. If an ex-dividend date for any cash dividend or distribution on the Shares (a Triggering Dividend) that differs from the Regular Dividend occurs at any time from, but excluding, the Trade Date to, and including, the Expiration Date or if no ex-dividend date for a cash dividend or distribution by Counterparty occurs during any regular dividend period of Counterparty (as determined by the Calculation Agent) that falls, in whole or in part, after the Trade Date and on or prior to the Expiration Date, then in lieu of any adjustments as provided under Method of Adjustment below, the Calculation Agent may make such adjustments to the Strike Price, the Number of Warrants and/or any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment or other terms of the Transaction as it deems appropriate in its good faith and commercially reasonable discretion to preserve the intended economic benefits of the Transaction. | |
Regular Dividend: | For the first Triggering Dividend for which the ex-dividend date occurs within any regular dividend period of Counterparty (as determined by the Calculation Agent), USD 0.10 per Share (subject to adjustment (x) by the Calculation Agent to account for any change in the regular dividend period length and (y) for any Potential Adjustment Event or Extraordinary Event as otherwise provided herein), and, for any subsequent Triggering Dividend for which the ex-dividend date occurs within the same regular dividend period, zero. | |

Extraordinary Events: | ||

6
either (x) also becomes Counterparty under the relevant Transaction following such Merger Event or Tender Offer or (y) wholly owns the Counterparty under the relevant Transaction following such Merger Event or Tender Offer (which Counterparty is a corporation that is organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia) and fully and unconditionally guarantees the obligations of Counterparty under the Transaction. | ||
Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment: | For greater certainty, the definition of Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment in Sections 12.2 and 12.3 of the Equity Definitions shall be amended by adding the following italicized language to the stipulated parenthetical provision: (including adjustments to account for changes in expected volatility, expected dividends, expected correlation, expected stock loan rate or expected liquidity relevant to the Shares or to the Transaction). | |
Announcement Event: | With respect to any Component, if an Announcement Event occurs, the Calculation Agent will determine the economic effect of the Announcement Event on the theoretical value of such Component (i) on or after the relevant Announcement Date and (ii) on the Valuation Date or any earlier date of termination or cancellation for such Component (in each case, including without limitation any actual or expected change in volatility, dividends, correlation, stock loan rate or liquidity relevant to the Shares or to such Component), and if, in the case of clause (i) or (ii), the Calculation Agent determines in its good faith and commercially reasonable discretion that such economic effect is material and Dealer so elects in its commercially reasonable discretion, the Calculation Agent will (x) adjust the terms of such Component to reflect such economic effect (without duplication in respect of any other adjustment or cancellation valuation made pursuant to the Equity Definitions) and (y) determine the effective date of such adjustment; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the related Merger Date or Tender Offer Date, as the case may be, or any subsequent related Announcement Event, occurs on or prior to the effective date of such adjustment, any further adjustment to the terms of such Component with respect to such Merger Date, Tender Offer Date or Announcement Event pursuant to this Confirmation and/or the Equity Definitions shall take such earlier adjustment into account (and, for the avoidance of doubt, where Cancellation and Payment is applicable, the Determining Party shall take into account such adjustment in determining the Cancellation Amount). Announcement Event shall mean the occurrence of an Announcement Date in respect of a Merger Event or Tender Offer, notwithstanding the fact that such Merger Date or Tender Offer Date may not, or may not be anticipated to, occur on or prior to the Valuation Date for the related Component. The definition of Announcement Date in Section 12.1(l) of the Equity Definitions shall be amended by (a) replacing the words a firm with the word any bona fide in the second and fourth lines thereof, (b) inserting the words by the Issuer, any potential counterparty to such Merger Event or any of their agents or affiliates after the word announcement in the second line thereof, (c) replacing the word leads to the with the words , if completed, would lead to a in the third and the fifth lines |

The parties hereto further agree and acknowledge (A) that this Confirmation is (i) a securities contract, as such term is defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code, with respect to which each payment and delivery hereunder or in connection herewith is a termination value, payment amount or other transfer obligation within the meaning of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and a settlement payment or a transfer within the meaning of Section 546 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (ii) a swap agreement, as such term is defined in Section 101(53B) of the Bankruptcy Code, with respect to which each payment and delivery hereunder or in connection herewith is a termination value, a payment amount or other transfer obligation within the meaning of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and a transfer within the meaning of Section 546 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (B) that Dealer is entitled to the protections afforded by, among other sections, Section 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 362(b)(27), 362(o), 546(e), 546(g), 546(j), 548(d)(2), 555, 560 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code.
Alternative Calculations and Counterparty Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events. If Counterparty owes Dealer any amount in connection with the Transaction pursuant to Sections 12.2, 12.3, 12.6, 12.7 or 12.9 of the Equity Definitions (except in the case of an Extraordinary Event (x) that is within Counterpartys control or (y) as a result of which the Shares have changed into cash) or pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (except in the case of an Event of Default in which Counterparty is the Defaulting Party or a Termination Event in which Counterparty is the Affected Party, other than an Event of Default or a Termination Event that resulted from an event or events outside Counterpartys control) (a Counterparty Payment Obligation), Counterparty shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to satisfy any such Counterparty Payment Obligation by delivery of Termination Delivery Units (as defined below) by (A) giving irrevocable telephonic notice to Dealer, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day, between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. New York time on the Early Termination Date or other date the transaction is terminated, as applicable (Notice of Counterparty Termination Delivery) and (B) remaking the representation set forth under No Material Non-Public Information below on the date of such notice; provided that if Counterparty does not validly elect (or is not permitted to elect) to satisfy its Counterparty Payment Obligation by delivery of Termination Delivery Units, Dealer shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to elect to require Counterparty to satisfy its Counterparty Payment Obligation by delivery of Termination Delivery Units. On a date determined by the Calculation Agent that is within a commercially reasonable period of time following receipt of a Notice of Counterparty Termination Delivery or a notice from Dealer requiring Counterparty to satisfy its Counterparty Payment Obligation by delivery of Termination Delivery Units, as the case may be, Counterparty shall deliver to Dealer a number of Termination Delivery Units having a cash value equal to the amount of such Counterparty Payment Obligation (as determined by the Calculation Agent in a commercially reasonable manner), subject to the provisions set forth opposite the caption Registration/Private Placement Procedures below. If the provisions set forth in this paragraph are applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.11 (modified as described above) and 9.12 of the Equity Definitions shall be applicable, except that all references to Shares shall be read as references to Termination Delivery Units.
13
Termination Delivery Unit means one Share or, if the Shares have changed into cash or any other property or the right to receive cash or any other property as the result of an Insolvency, Nationalization, Merger Event or Tender Offer, a unit consisting of the number or amount of each type of property received by a holder of one Share (without consideration of any requirement to pay cash or other consideration in lieu of fractional amounts of any securities) in such Insolvency, Nationalization, Merger Event or Tender Offer. If such Insolvency, Nationalization, Merger Event or Tender Offer involves a choice of consideration to be received by holders, the Calculation Agent shall determine the composition of such consideration in its commercially reasonable discretion.
Registration/Private Placement Procedures. If, in the reasonable opinion of Dealer based on advice of counsel, any Shares or Termination Delivery Units deliverable to Dealer hereunder, for any reason, would be in the hands of Dealer subject to any applicable restrictions on transfer (including, without limitation, any registration or qualification requirement or prospectus delivery requirement for such Shares or Termination Delivery Units) pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities law or otherwise (including, without limitation, any such requirement arising under Section 5 of the Securities Act as a result of such Shares or Termination Delivery Units being restricted securities, as such term is defined in Rule 144) (such Shares or Termination Delivery Units, Restricted Shares), then delivery of such Restricted Shares shall be effected pursuant to either clause (i) or (ii) of Annex A hereto at the election of Counterparty, unless the requirements of such clauses (i) and (ii) are waived by Dealer with respect to such delivery. Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely in respect of any Warrants exercised or deemed exercised on any Exercise Date, Counterparty shall elect, prior to the first Settlement Date for the first Exercise Date (or, if later, prior to the third Scheduled Trading Day following the date of notification by Dealer of the need for such settlement procedures), a Private Placement Settlement of similar size (as defined in Annex A hereto) or Registration Settlement (as defined in Annex A hereto) for all deliveries of Restricted Shares for all such Exercise Dates which election shall be applicable to all Settlement Dates for such Warrants and the procedures in clause (i) or clause (ii) of Annex A hereto shall apply for all such delivered Restricted Shares on an aggregate basis commencing after the final Settlement Date for such Warrants. The Calculation Agent shall make reasonable adjustments to settlement terms and provisions under this Confirmation to reflect a single Private Placement Settlement or Registration Settlement for such aggregate Restricted Shares delivered hereunder. If the Private Placement Settlement or the Registration Settlement shall not be effected as set forth in clauses (i) or (ii) of Annex A, as applicable, then failure to effect such Private Placement Settlement or such Registration Settlement shall constitute an Event of Default with respect to which Counterparty shall be the Defaulting Party.
Share Deliveries. Counterparty acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent that Dealer (or its affiliate) is not then an affiliate, as such term is used in Rule 144, of Counterparty and has not been such an affiliate of Counterparty for 90 days (it being understood that Dealer or its affiliate shall not be considered such an affiliate of Counterparty solely by reason of its right to receive Shares pursuant to a Transaction hereunder), any Shares or Termination Delivery Units delivered hereunder either prior to or after the first anniversary of the Premium Payment Date shall be eligible for resale under Rule 144 or any successor provision at all times following such first anniversary, and Counterparty agrees that any Shares or Termination Delivery Units delivered after such first anniversary shall not bear any legends restricting, or referring to restrictions on, the resale of such securities, and, with respect to any Shares or Termination Delivery Units delivered prior to such first anniversary, on such first anniversary Counterparty shall remove, or cause the transfer agent for such Shares or Termination Delivery Units to remove, any legends referring to any restrictions on resale under the Securities Act from the certificates representing such Shares or Termination Delivery Units, without any requirement for the delivery of any certificate, consent, agreement, opinion of counsel, notice or any other document, any transfer tax stamps or payment of any other amount or any other action by Dealer or such affiliate. Counterparty further agrees that with respect to any Shares or Termination Delivery Units delivered hereunder at any time after 6 months from the Premium Payment Date but prior to 1 year from the Premium Payment Date, to the extent that Counterparty then satisfies the current information requirement of Rule 144, Counterparty shall promptly remove, or cause the transfer agent for such Shares or Termination Delivery Units to remove, any legends referring to any such restrictions or requirements from the certificates representing such Share or Termination Delivery Units upon delivery by Dealer or its affiliate to Counterparty or such transfer agent of any customary sellers and brokers representation letters in connection with resales of such Shares or Termination Delivery Units pursuant to Rule 144, without any further requirement for the delivery of any certificate, consent, agreement, opinion of counsel, notice or any other document, any transfer tax stamps or payment of any other amount or any other action by
14
Dealer or such affiliate. Counterparty further agrees and acknowledges that Dealer (or its affiliate) shall run a holding period under Rule 144 from the Premium Payment Date with respect to the Warrants and/or any Shares or Termination Delivery Units delivered hereunder notwithstanding the existence of any other transaction or transactions between Counterparty and Dealer relating to the Shares. Counterparty further agrees that Shares or Termination Delivery Units delivered hereunder prior to the date that is 6 months from the Premium Payment Date may be freely transferred among Dealer and its affiliates, and Counterparty shall effect such transfer without any further action by Dealer or its affiliates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Counterparty agrees that any delivery of Shares or Termination Delivery Units shall be effected by book-entry transfer through the facilities of the Clearance System if, at the time of such delivery, the certificates representing such Shares or Termination Delivery Units would not contain any restrictive legend as described above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent the provisions of Rule 144 or any successor rule are amended, or the applicable interpretation thereof by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any court changes after the Trade Date, the agreements of Counterparty herein shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary, in the opinion of outside counsel of Counterparty, to comply with Rule 144, including Rule 144(b) or any successor provision, as in effect at the time of delivery of the relevant Shares or Termination Delivery Units.
No Material Non-Public Information. Counterparty represents and warrants to Dealer that it is not aware of any material nonpublic information concerning itself, the Shares or option contracts related to the Shares.
Limit on Beneficial Ownership. Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, Dealer may not exercise any Warrant hereunder, Automatic Exercise shall not apply with respect thereto, and no delivery hereunder (including pursuant to provisions opposite the headings Alternative Calculations and Counterparty Payments on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events, Registration/Private Placement Procedures, Limitation on Delivery of Shares or Annex A) shall be made, to the extent (but only to the extent) that the receipt of any Shares upon such exercise or delivery would result in the existence of an Excess Ownership Position as set forth in clause (1) or (3) of the definition thereof. Any purported delivery hereunder shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that such delivery would result in the existence of such an Excess Ownership Position. If any delivery owed to Dealer or exercise hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, Counterpartys obligation to make such delivery and Dealers right to exercise a Warrant shall not be extinguished and Counterparty shall make such delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than one Clearance System Business Day after, Dealer gives notice to Counterparty that such exercise or delivery would not result in the existence of such an Excess Ownership Position.
Repurchase Notices. Counterparty shall, on any day on which Counterparty effects any repurchase of Shares, provide Dealer with a written notice of such repurchase (a Repurchase Notice) on such day if, following such repurchase, the Warrant Equity Percentage (as defined below) is greater by 0.5% or more than the Warrant Equity Percentage set forth in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice (or, in the case of the first such Repurchase Notice, greater by 0.5% or more than the Warrant Equity Percentage as of the date hereof). The Warrant Equity Percentage as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, of (1) the numerator of which is the sum of (A) the product of the Number of Warrants and the Warrant Entitlement and (B) the number of Shares underlying any other warrant transaction between Counterparty as seller and Dealer as buyer and (2) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day. Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Dealer and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, advisors, agents and controlling person (each, an Indemnified Person) from and against any and all losses (including losses relating to Dealers hedging activities as a consequence of becoming an insider as defined under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, including without limitation, any forbearance from hedging activities or cessation of hedging activities and any losses in connection therewith with respect to this Transaction), claims, damages, judgments, liabilities and reasonable expense (including reasonable attorneys fees), joint or several, which an Indemnified Person actually may become subject to, as a result of Counterpartys failure to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified herein, and to reimburse, upon written request, each of such Indemnified Persons for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing for, providing testimony or other evidence in connection with or defending any of the foregoing. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against the Indemnified Person, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Counterparty
15
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 reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. Counterparty shall be relieved from liability to the extent that the Indemnified Person fails promptly to notify Counterparty of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder; provided that failure to notify Counterparty (x) shall not relieve Counterparty from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and (y) shall not, in any event, relieve Counterparty from any liability that it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. Counterparty shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, 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 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, 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 that may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this paragraph shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of the Transaction.
Limitation On Delivery of Shares. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Counterparty be required at any time to deliver any Shares hereunder to the extent that the number of Shares otherwise deliverable would exceed (i) prior to receipt of the Required NYSE Stockholder Approval, 4,574,554 Shares less the total number of Shares previously delivered hereunder or under any warrant transaction that (x) is entered into by Dealer and Counterparty within 30 days of the date hereof and (y) except with respect to the number of warrants and the premium, is substantially similar hereto (any such transaction, an Other Warrant Transaction) or (ii) following receipt of the Required NYSE Stockholder Approval, two times the Number of Shares (the Maximum Delivery Amount). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, this Confirmation or the Equity Definitions, in no event shall the Maximum Delivery Amount be subject to adjustment, other than any adjustment that (a) prior to receipt of the Required NYSE Stockholder Approval, is made pursuant to Article 11 or 12 of the Equity Definitions (without any amendment thereto pursuant to the terms of this Confirmation), and (b) to the extent that such adjustment would cause the Maximum Delivery Amount to exceed the number of Available Shares, results from actions of Counterparty or events within Counterpartys control. Counterparty represents and warrants (which shall be deemed to be repeated on each day that the Transaction is outstanding) that the Maximum Delivery Amount is equal to or less than the number of authorized but unissued Shares of Counterparty that are not reserved for future issuance in connection with transactions in the Shares other than the Transaction and, prior to receipt of the Required NYSE Stockholder Approval, any Other Warrant Transaction (such Shares, the Available Shares). In the event that, notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Counterparty shall not have delivered the full number of Shares otherwise deliverable hereunder because Counterparty has insufficient authorized but unissued Shares that are not reserved for future issuance under transactions other than the Transaction and, prior to receipt of the Required NYSE Stockholder Approval, any Other Warrant Transaction (the resulting deficit, the Deficit Shares), Counterparty shall be continually obligated to deliver, from time to time until the full number of Deficit Shares have been delivered pursuant to this paragraph, Shares when, and to the extent, that (A) Shares are repurchased, acquired or otherwise received by Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries after the Trade Date (whether or not in exchange for cash, fair value or any other consideration), (B) authorized and unissued Shares previously reserved for issuance in respect of other transactions become no longer so reserved and (C) Counterparty additionally authorizes any unissued Shares that are not reserved for such other transactions. Counterparty shall reasonably promptly notify Dealer of the occurrence of any of the foregoing events (including the number of Shares subject to clause (A), (B) or (C) and the corresponding number of Shares to be delivered) and promptly deliver such Shares thereafter. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5 of the Agreement, in the event of a failure by Counterparty to comply with the agreement set forth in this provision, there shall be no grace period for remedy of such failure.
16
Additional Termination Event. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an Additional Termination Event with respect to which (1) Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party and (2) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction; provided that with respect to any Additional Termination Event, Dealer may choose to treat part of the Transaction as the sole Affected Transaction, and, upon termination of the Affected Transaction, a Transaction with terms identical to those set forth herein except with a Number of Warrants equal to the unaffected number of Warrants shall be treated for all purposes as the Transaction, which shall remain in full force and effect:
(i) Dealer reasonably determines, based on advice of counsel, that it is advisable to terminate a portion of the Transaction so that Dealers related hedging activities will comply with applicable securities laws, rules or regulations;
(ii) any person or group within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, other than Counterparty, its subsidiaries and its and their employee benefit plans, files a Schedule TO or any schedule, form or report under the Exchange Act disclosing that such person or group has become the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of Counterpartys common equity representing more than 50% of the voting power of its common equity;
(iii) the consummation of (A) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Shares (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination) as a result of which the Shares would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets; (B) any share exchange, consolidation or merger of Counterparty pursuant to which the Shares will be converted into cash, securities or other property, other than a merger of Counterparty solely for the purpose of changing its jurisdiction of incorporation that results in a reclassification, conversion or exchange of outstanding Shares solely into shares of common stock of the surviving entity; or (C) any sale, lease or other transfer in one transaction or a series of transactions of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of Counterparty and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any person other than one of its subsidiaries; or
(iv) (A) at any time the price per Share on the Exchange (as determined by the Calculation Agent) is at or above USD 500.00 (subject to adjustment as provided in this Confirmation and the Equity Definitions, except that, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to a Potential Adjustment Event, any such adjustment may become effective as of the announcement of the relevant Potential Adjustment Event), unless Counterparty has received approval from its stockholders in accordance with the requirements of Rule 312.03(c) of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual (or any successor thereto) for (x) the issuance pursuant to the Transaction of a number of Shares up to two times the Number of Shares and (y) the issuance pursuant to any Other Warrant Transaction of a number of Shares up to two times the Number of Shares, as defined in the confirmation therefor (such approval, the Required NYSE Stockholder Approval) and (B) Dealer reasonably believes that, if Counterparty were to validly elect to deliver Termination Delivery Units in respect of any Counterparty Payment Obligation upon the occurrence at such time of any event described in Alternative Calculations and Counterparty Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events, such Termination Delivery Units would constitute Restricted Shares.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, transactions described in clause (ii) or (iii) above shall not constitute Additional Termination Events under such clause if (a) at least 90% of the consideration paid for the Shares (excluding cash payments for fractional shares and cash payments made pursuant to dissenters appraisal rights and cash dividends) in a transaction otherwise constituting an Additional Termination Event under clause (ii) or (iii) above consists of shares of common stock traded or quoted on The New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market or The NASDAQ Global Market (or any of their respective successors), or will be so traded or quoted immediately following the completion of such transaction and (b) as a result of the completion of such transaction, the Shares are composed of such consideration.
17
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Equity Definitions or the Agreement, any Counterparty Payment Obligation shall, for all purposes, be calculated without regard to the provisions set forth under Limitation on Delivery of Shares above; provided that the number of Shares deliverable pursuant to the provisions set forth under Alternative Calculations and Counterparty Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events above (if applicable) shall not exceed the applicable Maximum Delivery Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions set forth above under Alternative Calculations and Counterparty Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events, including and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein and above, shall apply to any Counterparty Payment Obligation amount resulting from such Additional Termination Events.
Right to Extend. Dealer may postpone any Exercise Date or Settlement Date or any other date of valuation or delivery with respect to some or all of the relevant Warrants (in which event the Calculation Agent shall make appropriate adjustments to the Net Share Amount with respect to one or more Components), if Dealer determines, in its commercially reasonable discretion (in the case of the immediately following clause (i)) or in its reasonable discretion based on advice of counsel (in the case of the immediately following clause (ii)), that such extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate to (i) preserve Dealers (or its affiliates) hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions in the cash market, the stock loan market or any other relevant market (but only if there is a material decrease in liquidity relative to Dealers expectations on the Trade Date) or (ii) to enable Dealer (or its affiliate) to effect purchases of Shares in connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if Dealer (or such affiliate) were Counterparty or an affiliate of Counterparty, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer (or such affiliate).
Transfer or Assignment. Counterparty may not transfer any of its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Dealer. Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement to the contrary, Dealer may, subject to applicable law, freely transfer and assign all of its rights and obligations under the Transaction without the consent of Counterparty.
If (a) at any time (1) the Section 16 Equity Percentage exceeds 8%, (2) the Warrant Equity Percentage exceeds 14.5% or (3) Dealer, Dealer Group (as defined below) or any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Dealer or Dealer Group (Dealer, Dealer Group or any such person, a Dealer Person) under any federal, state or local (including non-U.S.) laws, rules, regulations or regulatory orders or organizational documents or contracts of Counterparty that are, in each case, applicable to ownership of Shares (Applicable Restrictions), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership, or could be reasonably viewed as meeting any of the foregoing, in excess of a number of Shares equal to (x) the number of Shares that would give rise to reporting, registration, filing or notification obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval by a state, federal or non-U.S. regulator) of a Dealer Person (except for filings of Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G under the Exchange Act or any other filing obligations applicable as of the date hereof), or could result in an adverse effect on a Dealer Person, under Applicable Restrictions, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion, and with respect to which such requirements have not been met or the relevant approval has not been received minus (y) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding on the date of determination (either such condition described in clause (1), (2) or (3), an Excess Ownership Position), and (b) Dealer is unable, after commercially reasonable efforts, to effect a transfer or assignment on pricing and terms and within a time period reasonably acceptable to it of all or a portion of this Transaction pursuant to the preceding paragraph such that an Excess Ownership Position no longer exists, Dealer may designate any Scheduled Trading Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion (the Terminated Portion) of this Transaction, such that an Excess Ownership Position no longer exists following such partial termination. In the event that Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of this Transaction, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (i) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to this Transaction and a Number of Warrants equal to the Terminated Portion (allocated among the Components thereof in the discretion of Dealer), (ii) Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (iii) such Transaction shall be the only Terminated Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions set forth under the caption Alternative Calculations and Counterparty Payment on Early Termination and on Certain
18
Extraordinary Events shall apply to any amount that is payable by Counterparty to Dealer pursuant to this sentence). The Section 16 Equity Percentage as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Dealer and any of its affiliates subject to aggregation with Dealer 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 Dealer (collectively, Dealer Group) beneficially own (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act) without duplication on such day (or, to the extent that the equivalent calculation under Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder results in a higher number, such number) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day.
Designation by Dealer. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to or from Counterparty, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities and otherwise to perform Dealers obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such performance.
Amendments to Equity Definitions. (a) Section 12.9(b)(iv) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by: (i) deleting (1) subsection (A) in its entirety, (2) the phrase or (B) following subsection (A) and (3) the phrase in each case in subsection (B); (ii) replacing will lend with lends in subsection (B); and (iii) replacing the phrase neither the Non-Hedging Party nor the Lending Party lends Shares with the phrase such Lending Party does not lend Shares in the penultimate sentence; and (b) Section 12.9(b)(v) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by: (i) adding the word or immediately before subsection (B) and deleting the comma at the end of subsection (A); (ii) (1) deleting subsection (C) in its entirety, (2) deleting the word or immediately preceding subsection (C) and (3) deleting the penultimate sentence in its entirety and replacing it with the sentence The Hedging Party will determine the Cancellation Amount payable by one party to the other; and (iii) deleting subsection (X) in its entirety and the words or (Y) immediately following subsection (X).
Role of Agent. Each party agrees and acknowledges that (i) J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, an affiliate of Dealer (JPMS), has acted solely as agent and not as principal with respect to the Transaction and (ii) JPMS has no obligation or liability, by way of guaranty, endorsement or otherwise, in any manner in respect of the Transaction (including, if applicable, in respect of the settlement thereof). Each party agrees it will look solely to the other part for performance of such other partys obligations under the Transaction.
Severability; Illegality. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, if compliance by either party with any provision of the Transaction would be unenforceable or illegal, (a) the parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such unenforceability or illegality in a manner that preserves the economic benefits of the transactions contemplated hereby and (b) the other provisions of the Transaction shall not be invalidated, but shall remain in full force and effect.
Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THE TRANSACTION. EACH PARTY (I) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF SUCH A SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTY HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THE TRANSACTION, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS PROVIDED HEREIN.
Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act. In connection with Section 739 of the Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act of 2010 (WSTAA), the parties hereby agree that neither the enactment of WSTAA or any regulation under the WSTAA, nor any requirement under WSTAA or an amendment made by WSTAA, shall limit or otherwise impair either partys otherwise applicable rights to terminate, renegotiate, modify, amend or supplement this Confirmation or the Agreement, as applicable, arising from a termination event, force majeure, illegality, increased costs, regulatory change or similar event under this Confirmation, the Equity Definitions incorporated herein, or the Agreement (including, but not limited to, rights arising from Change in Law, Hedging Disruption, Increased Cost of Hedging, an Excess Ownership Position, or Illegality (as defined in the Agreement)).
19
Agreements and Acknowledgements Regarding Hedging. Counterparty understands, acknowledges and agrees that: (A) at any time on and prior to the Expiration Date, Dealer and its affiliates may buy or sell Shares or other securities or buy or sell options or futures contracts or enter into swaps or other derivative securities in order to adjust its hedge position with respect to the Transaction; (B) Dealer and its affiliates also may be active in the market for Shares other than in connection with hedging activities in relation to the Transaction; (C) Dealer shall make its own determination as to whether, when or in what manner any hedging or market activities in securities of Counterparty shall be conducted and shall do so in a manner that it deems appropriate to hedge its price and market risk with respect to the Relevant Prices; and (D) any market activities of Dealer and its affiliates with respect to Shares may affect the market price and volatility of Shares, as well as the Relevant Prices, each in a manner that may be adverse to Counterparty.
Early Unwind. In the event the sale of the Firm Securities (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement) is not consummated with the underwriters thereof for any reason, other than in cases involving breach of the Underwriting Agreement by Dealer or its affiliate, by the close of business in New York on May 23, 2012 (or such later date as agreed upon by the parties) (May 23, 2012 or such later date as agreed upon being the Early Unwind Date), the Transaction shall automatically terminate (the Early Unwind) on the Early Unwind Date and (a) the Transaction and all of the respective rights and obligations of Dealer and Counterparty under the Transaction shall be cancelled and terminated and (b) each party shall be released and discharged by the other party from and agrees not to make any claim against the other party with respect to any obligations or liabilities of the other party arising out of and to be performed in connection with the Transaction either prior to or after the Early Unwind Date. Dealer and Counterparty represent and acknowledge to the other that, upon an Early Unwind, all obligations with respect to the Transaction shall be deemed fully and finally discharged.
Payment by Counterparty. In the event that, following the payment of the Premium, (i) an Early Termination Date occurs or is designated with respect to the Transaction as a result of a Termination Event or an Event of Default and, as a result, Dealer owes to Counterparty an amount calculated under Section 6(e) of the Agreement, or (ii) Dealer owes to Counterparty, pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions, an amount calculated under Section 12.8 of the Equity Definitions, such amount shall be deemed to be zero.
Deduction or Withholding for Tax. So long as Counterparty is organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, the provisions of Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement shall not apply to the Transaction.

ANNEX A
Registration Settlement and Private Placement Settlement
(i) | If Counterparty elects to settle the Transaction pursuant to this clause (i) (a Private Placement Settlement), then delivery of Restricted Shares by Counterparty shall be effected in customary private placement procedures for private placements of equity securities of similar size with respect to such Restricted Shares reasonably acceptable to Dealer; provided that Counterparty may not elect a Private Placement Settlement if, on the date of its election, it has taken, or caused to be taken, any action that would make unavailable either the exemption pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for the sale by Counterparty to Dealer (or any affiliate designated by Dealer) of the Restricted Shares or the exemption pursuant to Section 4(1) or Section 4(3) of the Securities Act for resales of the Restricted Shares by Dealer (or any such affiliate of Dealer). Dealer or its affiliate and Counterparty shall enter into a private placement agreement that is customary in form and substance for private placements of equity securities of similar size in connection with any Private Placement Settlement (including the resale of the Restricted Shares and any Make-Whole Shares by Dealer or its affiliate), which agreement shall include, without limitation, customary representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to Dealer and its affiliates, due diligence rights (for Dealer or its affiliate or any potential buyer of the Restricted Shares or Make-Whole Shares, as the case may be, designated by Dealer or its affiliate), opinions and certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for private placement agreements for private placements of equity securities of similar size, all reasonably acceptable to Dealer or its affiliate. |
(ii) | If Counterparty elects to settle the Transaction pursuant to this clause (ii) (a Registration Settlement), then Counterparty shall promptly (but in any event no later than the beginning of the Resale Period) file and use its reasonable best efforts to make effective under the Securities Act a registration statement or supplement or amend an outstanding registration statement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Dealer, to cover the resale of such Restricted Shares (and any Make-whole Shares) in accordance with customary resale registration procedures for offerings of equity securities of similar size, including entry by Dealer or its affiliate and Counterparty into an underwriting agreement that is customary in form and substance for registered secondary equity offerings of similar size, including, without limitation, covenants, conditions, representations, underwriting discounts (if applicable), commissions (if applicable), indemnities, due diligence rights (for Dealer, its affiliate or any potential buyer of the Restricted Shares or Make-whole Shares, as the case may be, designated by Dealer or its affiliate), opinions and certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for equity resale underwriting agreements for offerings of similar size, all reasonably acceptable to Dealer or its affiliate. If Dealer or its affiliate, in its sole discretion, is not satisfied with such procedures and documentation, Private Placement Settlement shall apply. If Dealer or its affiliate is satisfied with such procedures and documentation, it shall sell the Restricted Shares (or any Make-whole Shares) pursuant to such registration statement during a period (the Resale Period) commencing on the Exchange Business Day following delivery of such Restricted Shares (or any Make-whole Shares) and ending on the earliest of (i) the Exchange Business Day on which Dealer or its affiliate completes the sale of all Restricted Shares or, in the case of settlement of Termination Delivery Units, a sufficient number of Restricted Shares so that the realized net proceeds of such sales exceed the Counterparty Payment Obligation and (ii) the date upon which all Restricted Shares (and any Make-whole Shares) may be sold or transferred by a non-affiliate pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in force) without any further restriction whatsoever. |
(iii) | If (ii) above is applicable and the Net Share Settlement Amount or the Counterparty Payment Obligation, as applicable, exceeds the realized net proceeds from such resale, or if (i) above is applicable and the Freely Tradeable Value (as defined below) of the Shares owed pursuant to the Net Share Settlement Amount, or the Counterparty Payment Obligation (in each case as adjusted pursuant to (i) above), as applicable, exceeds the realized net proceeds from such resale, Counterparty shall transfer to Dealer or its affiliate by the open of the regular trading session on the Exchange on the third Exchange Business Day immediately following the last day of the Resale Period the amount of such excess (the Additional Amount), at its option, either in cash or in a number of Restricted Shares |
A-1
(Make-whole Shares, provided that the aggregate number of Restricted Shares and Make-whole Shares delivered shall not exceed the Maximum Delivery Amount) that, based on the Relevant Price on the last day of the Resale Period (as if such day was the Valuation Date for purposes of computing such Relevant Price), has a value equal to the Additional Amount. If Counterparty elects to pay the Additional Amount in Make-whole Shares, Counterparty shall elect whether the requirements and provisions for either Private Placement Settlement or Registration Settlement shall apply to such payment. This provision shall be applied successively until the Additional Amount is equal to zero, subject to Limitation on Delivery of Shares. Freely Tradeable Value means the value of the number of Shares delivered to Dealer or its affiliate which such Shares would have if they were freely tradeable (without prospectus delivery) upon receipt by Dealer or its affiliate, as determined by the Calculation Agent by reference to the Relevant Price for freely tradeable Shares as of the Valuation Date, or other date of valuation used in a commercially reasonable manner to determine the delivery obligation with respect to such Shares, or by other commercially reasonable means. |

(ii) the scheduled commencement date of the Conversion Period and the scheduled settlement date under the Indenture for the Convertible Notes converted on the Conversion Date corresponding to such Exercise Date, and
(iii) the applicable Cash Percentage; provided that, if the Cash Percentage specified is a percentage other than 0%, such notice shall contain an acknowledgment by Counterparty of its responsibilities under applicable securities laws, and in particular, Section 9 and 10(b) of the U.S. Securities Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) and the rules and regulations thereunder, in respect of any election of a Cash Percentage settlement method with respect to the relevant Convertible Notes; provided, further that if Counterparty fails to timely provide the notice described in this clause (iii) or such notice does not contain the foregoing acknowledgment to the extent required by this clause (iii), notwithstanding anything to the contrary under Settlement Amount below, the Settlement Amount for each relevant Note Hedging Unit shall be the Settlement Amount (as determined by the Calculation Agent) that would have been deliverable hereunder by Dealer with respect to such Note Hedging Unit if Counterparty had elected a Cash Percentage of 0%.

5
Notice of Exercise (and the related exercise of Note Hedging Units) shall be effective with respect to Note Hedging Units relating to Convertible Notes converted prior to March 1, 2017, if given after the Notice Deadline but prior to 5:00 PM New York City time on the fifth Scheduled Trading Day following the Notice Deadline, in which event the Calculation Agent shall have the right to adjust the applicable Settlement Amount as appropriate to reflect the additional costs (including, but not limited to, hedging mismatches and market losses) and reasonable expenses incurred by Dealer in connection with its hedging activities (including the unwinding of any hedge position) as a result of Dealer not having received such notice on or prior to the Notice Deadline. | ||
Settlement Terms: | ||
Settlement: | In lieu of the obligations set forth in Sections 8.1 and 9.1 of the Equity Definitions, and subject to Notice of Exercise above, in respect of any validly exercised Note Hedging Unit, Dealer shall deliver to Counterparty, on the related Settlement Date, the Settlement Amount.
For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent Dealer is obligated to deliver Shares hereunder, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.11 and 9.12 of the Equity Definitions shall be applicable to any such delivery of Shares, except that all references in such provisions to Physical Settlement and Physically-settled shall be read as references to Share Settlement and Share Settled; and provided 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 arising from Counterpartys status as issuer of the Shares or arising from such Shares being restricted securities (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act)). Share Settlement means settlement of a Note Hedging Unit pursuant to Settlement Amount below, and Share Settled has a meaning correlative thereto. | |
Settlement Amount: | The aggregate of (i) the number of Shares that Counterparty is obligated to deliver and (ii) the amount of cash that Counterparty is obligated to pay less USD 1,000, in each case, to the holder of USD 1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes converted on such Conversion Date pursuant to Section 8.02 of the Supplemental Indenture.
The number of Shares included in the Settlement Amount shall not take into consideration any rounding pursuant to Section 8.02(j) of the Supplemental Indenture. Instead Dealer will deliver cash in lieu of any fractional Shares based on (i) the Daily VWAP on the last Trading Day of the applicable Conversion Period and (ii) the aggregate number of Note Hedging Units exercised on any Exercise Date.
In addition, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein: |
6
(i) the Settlement Amount shall be determined by the Calculation Agent excluding any increase to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 8.03 of the Supplemental Indenture (a Fundamental Change Adjustment) or any voluntary adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 8.04(g) of the Supplemental Indenture (a Discretionary Adjustment); and
(ii) if Counterparty or its board of directors is permitted or required to exercise discretion under the terms of the Indenture with respect to any determination, calculation or adjustment (including, without limitation, any adjustment under Section 8.04(i) or 8.05 of the Supplemental Indenture, any adjustment to the terms of the Convertible Notes following a Merger Event pursuant to Section 8.07 of the Supplemental Indenture, any adjustment to the Dividend Threshold Amount relating to a change in the regular dividend period for purposes of Section 8.04(d) of the Supplemental Indenture or any determination of the fair market value of distributed property, the volume weighted average price of Shares or the value of a unit of Reference Property) (any such determination, calculation or adjustment, a Counterparty Determination), Counterparty shall consult with Dealer with respect thereto and, if the Calculation Agent disagrees in good faith with such determination, calculation or adjustment, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Calculation Agent shall make the relevant determination, calculation or adjustment for purposes of the Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, such determination, calculation or adjustment shall be made (A) in accordance with the methodology set forth in the Indenture, except as set forth herein, and (B) using, where relevant, variables determined by the Calculation Agent).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the sum of (x) the product of the number of Shares delivered in respect of a Note Hedging Unit and the Applicable Limit Price on the Settlement Date for such Note Hedging Unit and (y) the amount of cash paid in respect of any Note Hedging Unit (including any cash in lieu of any fractional Share), exceed the Applicable Limit for such Note Hedging Unit.
Section 6.3(a) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the remainder of clause (ii) thereof following the words at any time. | ||
Applicable Limit: | For any exercised Note Hedging Unit, an amount in USD equal to the product of the Applicable Percentage and the excess of (i) the sum of (A) the amount of cash, if any, paid to the holder of USD 1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes converted on the related Conversion Date and (B) the product of (x) the number of Shares, if any, delivered to the holder of USD 1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes converted on the related Conversion Date and (y) the Applicable Limit Price on the applicable Settlement Date over (ii) USD 1,000. |
7
Applicable Limit Price: | On any day, the opening price as displayed under the heading Op on Bloomberg page MRX <equity> (or any successor thereto). | |
Notice of Delivery Obligation: | No later than the Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the last day of the relevant Conversion Period, Counterparty shall give Dealer notice of the final number of Shares and/or the amount of cash that Counterparty is required to deliver to holders of the relevant Convertible Notes (the Convertible Obligation); provided that:
(i) Counterparty may provide a single such notice of the aggregate Convertible Obligation for all Convertible Notes converted on or after March 1, 2017,
(ii) the requirement of Counterparty to deliver such notice shall not limit Counterpartys obligations with respect to Notice of Exercise, as set forth above, in any way; and
(iii) in the case of any late delivery of a Notice of Delivery Obligation, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Settlement Date for any related Note Hedging Unit shall be the second Scheduled Trading Day following the date such notice is delivered; provided, further, that if Counterparty fails to deliver such notice prior to 5:00 PM New York City time on the fifth Scheduled Trading Day following the last day of the relevant Conversion Period, Dealers obligation to make any payment or delivery in respect of the related exercise of Note Hedging Units shall be permanently extinguished and any delivery of such notice thereafter shall not cure such failure. | |
Settlement Date: | In respect of an Exercise Date, the settlement date for the Shares or cash to be delivered under the Convertible Notes converted on the corresponding Conversion Date under the terms of the Indenture. | |
Settlement Currency: | USD. | |
Restricted Certificated Shares: | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Equity Definitions, Dealer may, in whole or in part, deliver Shares in certificated form representing the Share portion of the Settlement Amount to Counterparty in lieu of delivery through the Clearance System. | |
Share Adjustments: | ||
Potential Adjustment Events: | Notwithstanding Section 11.2(e) of the Equity Definitions, a Potential Adjustment Event means any occurrence of any event or condition, as set forth in Section 8.04(i), 8.04(a)(e) or 8.05 of the Supplemental Indenture, that would result in an adjustment under the Indenture to the Conversion Rate or any other term of the Convertible Notes; provided that in no event shall there be any adjustment hereunder as a result of a Fundamental Change Adjustment or a Discretionary Adjustment. |
8
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) Dealer shall not have any delivery obligation hereunder in respect of any Distributed Property delivered by Counterparty to which the fifth sentence of Section 8.04(c) of the Supplemental Indenture would apply and no adjustment shall be made to the terms of the Transaction on account of the delivery of such Distributed Property to holders of the Shares and (ii) if Counterparty pays a cash dividend to which the last paragraph of Section 8.04(d) of the Supplemental Indenture would apply, Dealer will pay to Counterparty an amount of cash equal to the amount of such cash dividend that Dealer or its affiliate receives on its Hedge Positions in respect of the Transaction promptly following Dealers receipt thereof. | ||
Method of Adjustment: | Calculation Agent Adjustment, which means that, notwithstanding Section 11.2(c) of the Equity Definitions, upon any Potential Adjustment Event (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Fundamental Change Adjustment or Discretionary Adjustment), the Calculation Agent shall make a corresponding adjustment to any one or more of the Strike Price, Number of Note Hedging Units, the Note Hedging Unit Entitlement, the composition of the Shares and any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement, payment or other terms of the Transaction (subject to the provisions set forth under Settlement Amount above in respect of any Counterparty Determination). | |
Dividends: | If (i) an ex-dividend date for a cash dividend or distribution on the Shares (a Triggering Dividend) that is less than the Regular Dividend occurs on or after the Trade Date and on or prior to the Expiration Date, or (ii) no ex-dividend date for a cash dividend or distribution on the Shares occurs in any regular dividend period of Counterparty (as determined by the Calculation Agent) that falls, in whole or in part, after the Trade Date and on or prior to the Expiration Date, then, in each case, the Calculation Agent will make such adjustments to any one or more of the variables relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment or other terms of the Transaction as it determines appropriate to account for the economic effect on the Transaction of such shortfall or lack of a dividend, as the case may be. | |
Regular Dividend: | For the first Triggering Dividend for which the ex-dividend date occurs within any regular dividend period of Counterparty (as determined by the Calculation Agent), USD 0.10 per Share (subject to adjustment (x) by the Calculation Agent to account for any change in the regular dividend period length and (y) as contemplated by Section 11.2(c) of the Equity Definitions), and, for any subsequent Triggering Dividend for which the ex-dividend date occurs within the same regular dividend period, zero. | |
Extraordinary Events: | ||
Merger Events: | Notwithstanding Section 12.1(b) of the Equity Definitions, a Merger Event means the occurrence of any event or condition set forth in the definition of Merger Event in Section 8.07(a) of the Supplemental Indenture. |
9
Notice of Merger Consideration: | In respect of any Merger Event, Counterparty shall notify the Calculation Agent of (i) if applicable, the weighted average of the kind and amounts of consideration to be received by the holders of Shares in any Merger Event who affirmatively make such an election and (ii) the details of the adjustments made under the Indenture in respect of such Merger Event, in each case, reasonably promptly upon determination thereof (and in any event prior to the effective date of the Merger Event), and Counterparty shall deliver a copy of the supplemental indenture effecting such adjustments (a Merger Supplemental Indenture) as promptly as practicable following execution thereof. | |
Consequences of Merger Events: | Notwithstanding Section 12.2 of the Equity Definitions, upon the occurrence of a Merger Event, the Calculation Agent shall make the corresponding adjustment in respect of any adjustment under the Indenture to any one or more of the nature of the Shares, the Strike Price, the Number of Note Hedging Units, the Note Hedging Unit Entitlement, the Settlement Date and any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment or other terms of the Transaction to the extent an analogous adjustment is permitted or required to be made pursuant to the Indenture in connection with such Merger Event (subject to the provisions set forth under Settlement Amount above in respect of any Counterparty Determination); provided that such adjustment shall be made without regard to any Fundamental Change Adjustment or any Discretionary Adjustment; and provided further that the Calculation Agent may limit or alter any such adjustment referenced in this paragraph to preserve the intended economic benefits of the Transaction; and provided further that if, with respect to a Merger Event, (i) the consideration for the Shares includes (or, at the option of a holder of Shares, may include) shares (or depositary receipts with respect to shares) of an entity or person that is not a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia or (ii) Counterparty following such Merger Event will not be a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia or will not be either (x) the Issuer following such Merger Event or (y) a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer following such Merger Event whose obligations under the Transaction are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by such Issuer, Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination) may apply at Dealers sole election. | |

(xiv) | No state or local (including non-U.S. jurisdictions) or non-U.S. federal law, rule, regulation or regulatory order applicable to the Shares or the Issuer would give rise to any reporting, consent, registration or other requirement (including without limitation a requirement to obtain prior approval from any person or entity) as a result of Dealer or its affiliates having the power to vote, owning or holding (however defined) Shares. |
(xv) | Counterparty shall deliver to Dealer on the Effective Date an opinion of counsel, dated as of such date and reasonably acceptable to Dealer in form and substance, with respect to the matters set forth in Section 3(a) of the Agreement and such other matters as Dealer may reasonably request. |
Miscellaneous:
Set-Off. Each party waives any and all rights it may have to set off obligations arising under the Agreement and the Transaction against other obligations between the parties, whether arising under any other agreement, applicable law or otherwise.
Qualified Financial Contracts. It is the intention of the parties that, in respect of Counterparty, (a) the Transaction shall constitute a qualified financial contract within the meaning of 12 U.S.C. Section 1821(e)(8)(D)(i) and (b) a Non-defaulting Partys rights under Sections 5 and 6 of the Agreement constitute rights of the kind referred to in 12 U.S.C. Section 1821(e)(8)(A).
Method of Delivery. Whenever delivery of funds or other assets is required hereunder by or to Counterparty, such delivery shall be effected through Agent. In addition, all notices, demands and communications of any kind relating to the Transaction between Dealer and Counterparty shall be transmitted exclusively through Agent.
Staggered Settlement. If upon advice of counsel with respect to applicable legal and regulatory requirements, including any requirements relating to Dealers hedging activities hereunder, Dealer reasonably determines that it would not be advisable to deliver, or to acquire Shares to deliver, any or all of the Shares to be delivered by Dealer on the relevant Settlement Date, Dealer may, by notice to Counterparty on or prior to any Settlement Date on which Dealer would be required to deliver Shares hereunder (a Nominal Settlement Date), elect to deliver such Shares on two or more dates (each, a Staggered Settlement Date) or at two or more times on the Nominal Settlement Date as follows: (i) in such notice, Dealer will specify to Counterparty the related Staggered Settlement Dates (each of which will be on or prior to such Nominal Settlement Date, but not prior to the beginning of the related Conversion Period) or delivery times and how it will allocate the Shares it is required to deliver under Settlement above among the Staggered Settlement Dates or delivery times; and (ii) the aggregate number of Shares that Dealer will deliver to Counterparty hereunder on all such Staggered Settlement Dates and delivery times will equal the number of Shares that Dealer would otherwise be required to deliver on such Nominal Settlement Date.
Additional Termination Events.
(i) | The occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to Counterparty under the terms of the Convertible Notes as set forth in Section 5.01 of the Supplemental Indenture that results in the Convertible Notes becoming or being declared due and payable pursuant to the Indenture shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (x) Counterparty shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, (y) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (z) Dealer may designate an Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement (which Exchange Business Day shall be on or as promptly as reasonably practicable after the occurrence of such acceleration). |
14
(ii) | Promptly following, but in no event later than the fifth Exchange Business Day after, any repurchase and cancellation of Convertible Notes (whether pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Supplemental Indenture, Section 2.07 of the Supplemental Indenture or otherwise), Counterparty shall notify Dealer in writing of such repurchase and cancellation and the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes so repurchased and cancelled (any such notice, a Repurchase Notice); provided that such Repurchase Notice shall contain an acknowledgement by Counterparty of its responsibilities under applicable securities laws, and in particular Section 9 and 10(b) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, in respect of such repurchase and the delivery of such Repurchase Notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, the receipt by Dealer from Counterparty of any Repurchase Notice, within the applicable time period set forth in the preceding sentence and containing the acknowledgement set forth in the preceding proviso, shall constitute an Additional Termination Event as provided in this clause (ii). Upon receipt of any such Repurchase Notice, Dealer shall designate an Exchange Business Day following receipt of such Repurchase Notice (which Exchange Business Day shall be within a commercially reasonable period of time after the related settlement date for the repurchase of such Convertible Notes) as an Early Termination Date with respect to the portion of this Transaction corresponding to a number of Note Hedging Units (the Repurchase Note Hedging Units) equal to the lesser of (A)(x) the product of (1) the Applicable Percentage and (2) the aggregate principal amount of such Convertible Notes specified in such Repurchase Notice, divided by USD 1,000 minus (y) the number of Repurchase Note Hedging Units (as defined in the Base Note Hedge Confirmation), if any, that relate to such Convertible Notes and (B) the Number of Note Hedging Units as of the date Dealer designates such Early Termination Date and, as of such date, the Number of Note Hedging Units shall be reduced by the number of Repurchase Note Hedging Units. Any payment hereunder with respect to such termination shall be calculated pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (1) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to this Transaction and a Number of Note Hedging Units equal to the number of Repurchase Note Hedging Units, (2) Counterparty were the sole Affected Party with respect to such Additional Termination Event and (3) the terminated portion of the Transaction were the sole Affected Transaction. |
(iii) | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, the receipt by Dealer from Counterparty, within the applicable time period set forth under Notice of Exercise above, of any Notice of Exercise in respect of Note Hedging Units that relate to Make-Whole Convertible Notes shall constitute an Additional Termination Event as provided in this clause (iii). Upon receipt of any such Notice of Exercise, Dealer shall designate an Exchange Business Day following such Additional Termination Event (which Exchange Business Day shall be within a commercially reasonable period of time after the related settlement date for such Make-Whole Convertible Notes) as an Early Termination Date with respect to the portion of this Transaction corresponding to a number of Note Hedging Units (the Make-Whole Note Hedging Units) equal to the lesser of (A)(x) the product of (1) the Applicable Percentage and (2) the aggregate principal amount of such Make-Whole Convertible Notes specified in such Exercise Notice, divided by USD 1,000 minus (y) the number of Make-Whole Note Hedging Units (as defined in the Base Note Hedge Confirmation), if any, that relate to such Make-Whole Convertible Notes and (B) the Number of Note Hedging Units as of the date Dealer designates such Early Termination Date and, as of such date, the Number of Note Hedging Units shall be reduced by the number of Make-Whole Note Hedging Units. Any payment hereunder with respect to such termination (the Make-Whole Unwind Payment) shall be calculated pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (1) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to this Transaction and a Number of Note Hedging Units equal to the number of Make-Whole Note Hedging Units, (2) Counterparty were the sole Affected Party with respect to such Additional Termination Event and (3) the terminated portion of the Transaction were the sole Affected Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, in determining the amount payable pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement, the Calculation Agent shall not take into account any Fundamental Change Adjustment); provided that the amount of cash deliverable in respect of such early termination by Dealer to Counterparty shall not be greater than the excess of (x) (I) the number of Make-Whole Note Hedging Units multiplied by (II) the Conversion Rate (after taking into account any applicable Fundamental Change Adjustment) multiplied by (III) the Applicable Limit Price on the applicable Settlement Date determined by the Calculation Agent in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner over (y) the |
15
product of USD 1,000 and the number of such Make-Whole Note Hedging Units, as determined by the Calculation Agent in a commercially reasonable manner. If Counterparty has (or is deemed to have) specified a Cash Percentage that is less than 100% in the Notice of Exercise relating to any Make-Whole Note Hedging Units, then in lieu of paying the Make-Whole Unwind Payment as set forth above, Dealer shall (A) pay to Counterparty an amount of cash equal to (1) such Cash Percentage, multiplied by (2) such Make-Whole Unwind Payment, and (B) deliver to Counterparty a number of Shares equal to (1) 100% minus such Cash Percentage, multiplied by (2) such Make-Whole Unwind Payment, divided by (3) a price per Share determined by the Calculation Agent in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, in each case, on the date such Make-Whole Unwind Payment would otherwise be due pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and this Confirmation (or within a commercially reasonable period of time thereafter, as determined by Dealer taking into account existing liquidity conditions and Dealers hedging and hedge unwind activity or settlement activity in connection with such payment and delivery). |
Counterparty agrees that it will promptly cancel any repurchased Convertible Notes pursuant to Section 2.06 of the Supplemental Indenture.
For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions set forth below under Alternative Calculations and Dealer Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events, including and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein, shall apply to any Dealer Payment Obligation amount resulting from an Additional Termination Event set forth in clause (i) or (ii) above.
Disposition of Hedge Shares. Counterparty hereby agrees that if, in the good faith reasonable judgment of Dealer based on the advice of counsel, the Shares (the Hedge Shares) acquired by Dealer or any of its affiliates (collectively for the purposes of this paragraph only, Dealer) for the purpose of hedging its obligations pursuant to the Transaction cannot be sold in the public market by Dealer without registration under the Securities Act, Counterparty shall, at its election: (i) in order to allow Dealer to sell the Hedge Shares in a registered offering, make available to Dealer 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 satisfactory to Dealer, substantially in the form of an underwriting agreement for a registered offering of substantially similar size, (B) provide accountants comfort letters in customary form for registered offerings of equity securities of substantially similar size, (C) provide disclosure opinions of nationally recognized outside counsel to Counterparty reasonably acceptable to Dealer, (D) provide other customary opinions, certificates and closing documents customary in form for registered offerings of equity securities of substantially similar size and (E) afford Dealer a reasonable opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation with respect to Counterparty customary in scope for underwritten offerings of equity securities of substantially similar size; provided, however, that if Dealer, in its sole 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 paragraph shall apply at the election of Counterparty; (ii) in order to allow Dealer 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 of substantially similar size, in form and substance satisfactory to Dealer, including customary representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to Dealer, due diligence rights (for Dealer or any designated buyer of the Hedge Shares from Dealer), opinions and certificates and such other documentation as is customary for private placements agreements for private placements of equity securities of substantially similar size, all reasonably acceptable to Dealer (in which case, the Calculation Agent shall make any adjustments to the terms of the Transaction that are necessary, in its commercially reasonable determination, to compensate Dealer 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 Dealer at the VWAP Price on such Exchange Business Days, and in the amounts, requested by Dealer. 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 MRX.N <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, or is, in the Calculation Agents reasonable discretion, erroneous, the market value of one Share on such Exchange Business Day, as determined by the Calculation Agent using, if practicable, a volume-weighted method). This paragraph shall survive the termination, expiration or early unwind of the Transaction.
16
Status of Claims in Bankruptcy. Dealer acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to convey to Dealer rights with respect to the Transaction that are senior to the claims of common stockholders in any U.S. bankruptcy proceedings of Counterparty; provided that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealers right to pursue remedies in the event of a breach by Counterparty of its obligations and agreements with respect to the Transaction other than during Counterpartys bankruptcy; provided, further, that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealers rights in respect of any transactions other than the Transaction.
No Collateral. Notwithstanding any provision of this Confirmation, the Agreement, Equity Definitions, or any other agreement between the parties to the contrary, the obligations of Counterparty under the Transaction are not secured by any collateral.
Securities Contract; Swap Agreement. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that Dealer is a financial institution, swap participant and financial participant within the meaning of Sections 101(22), 101(53C) and 101(22A) of the Bankruptcy Code. The parties hereto further agree and acknowledge (A) that this Confirmation is (i) a securities contract, as such term is defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code, with respect to which each payment and delivery hereunder or in connection herewith is a termination value, payment amount or other transfer obligation within the meaning of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and a settlement payment or a transfer within the meaning of Section 546 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (ii) a swap agreement, as such term is defined in Section 101(53B) of the Bankruptcy Code, with respect to which each payment and delivery hereunder or in connection herewith is a termination value, a payment amount or other transfer obligation within the meaning of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and a transfer within the meaning of Section 546 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (B) that Dealer is entitled to the protections afforded by, among other sections, Section 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 362(b)(27), 362(o), 546(e), 546(g), 546(j), 548(d)(2), 555, 560 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code.
Repurchase Notices. Counterparty shall, on any day on which Counterparty effects any repurchase of Shares, provide Dealer with a written notice of such repurchase (a Repurchase Notice) on such day if, following such repurchase, the Unit Equity Percentage as determined on such day is greater by 0.5% or more than the Unit Equity Percentage included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice (or, in the case of the first such Repurchase Notice, greater by 0.5% or more than the Unit Equity Percentage as of the date hereof). The Unit Equity Percentage as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (i) the numerator of which is the sum of (A) the product of the number of Note Hedging Units and the Note Hedging Unit Entitlement and (B) the number of Shares underlying any other call option transaction between Dealer as seller and Counterparty as buyer, and (ii) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day. Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Dealer and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors, agents and controlling persons (each, a Section 16 Indemnified Person) from and against any and all losses (including losses relating to Dealers hedging activities as a consequence 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 reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees), joint or several, to which a Section 16 Indemnified Person may become subject, as a result of Counterpartys failure to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this paragraph, and to reimburse, within 30 days upon written request, each of such Section 16 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 Section 16 Indemnified Person, such Section 16 Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Counterparty in writing, and Counterparty, upon request of the Section 16 Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Section 16 Indemnified Person to represent the Section 16 Indemnified Person and any others Counterparty may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. Counterparty shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if
17
settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, Counterparty agrees to indemnify any Section 16 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 Section 16 Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Section 16 Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Section 16 Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Section 16 Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding on terms reasonably satisfactory to such Section 16 Indemnified Person. If the indemnification provided for in this paragraph is unavailable to a Section 16 Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then Counterparty, in lieu of indemnifying such Section 16 Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Section 16 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 that may otherwise be available to any Section 16 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.
Alternative Calculations and Dealer Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events. If Dealer owes Counterparty any amount in connection with the Transaction pursuant to Sections 12.2, 12.3 (and Consequences of Merger Events above), 12.6, 12.7 or 12.9 of the Equity Definitions (except in the case of an Extraordinary Event that (x) is within Counterpartys control or (y) as a result of which the Shares have changed into cash) or pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (except in the case of an Event of Default in which Counterparty is the Defaulting Party or a Termination Event in which Counterparty is the Affected Party, other than an Event of Default or a Termination Event that resulted from an event or events outside Counterpartys control) (a Dealer Payment Obligation), Counterparty shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to require Dealer to satisfy any such Dealer Payment Obligation by delivery of Termination Delivery Units (as defined below) by (A) giving irrevocable telephonic notice to Dealer, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day, between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. New York time on the Early Termination Date or other date the transaction is terminated, as applicable (Notice of Dealer Termination Delivery) and (B) remaking the representation set forth under No Material Non-Public Information below on the date of such notice; provided that if Counterparty does not validly so elect (or is not permitted to elect) to require Dealer to satisfy its Dealer Payment Obligation by delivery of Termination Delivery Units, Dealer shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to elect to satisfy its Dealer Payment Obligation by delivery of Termination Delivery Units. Within a commercially reasonable period of time following receipt of a Notice of Dealer Termination Delivery or delivery by Dealer of notice of its election to satisfy the Dealer Payment Obligation by delivery of Termination Delivery Units, Dealer shall deliver to Counterparty a number of Termination Delivery Units having a cash value equal to the amount of such Dealer Payment Obligation (as determined by the Calculation Agent in a commercially reasonable manner). If the provisions set forth in this paragraph are applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.11 (modified as described above) and 9.12 of the Equity Definitions shall be applicable, except that all references to Shares shall be read as references to Termination Delivery Units. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Equity Definitions, Dealer may, in whole or in part, deliver securities comprising Termination Delivery Units in certificated form to Counterparty in lieu of delivery through the Clearance System.
Termination Delivery Unit means one Share or, if the Shares have changed into cash or any other property or the right to receive cash or any other property as the result of an Insolvency, Nationalization or Merger Event, a unit consisting of the number or amount of each type of property received by a holder of one Share (without consideration of any requirement to pay cash or other consideration in lieu of fractional amounts of any securities) in such Insolvency, Nationalization or Merger Event, as determined by the Calculation Agent. If such Insolvency, Nationalization or Merger Event involves a choice of consideration to be received by holders, the Calculation Agent shall determine the composition of such consideration in its commercially reasonable discretion.
No Material Non-Public Information. Counterparty represents and warrants to Dealer that it is not aware of any material nonpublic information concerning itself, the Shares or option contracts related to the Shares.
18
Right to Extend. Dealer may postpone any potential Exercise Date or Settlement Date or postpone or extend any other date of valuation or delivery with respect to some or all of the relevant Note Hedging Units (in which event the Calculation Agent shall make appropriate adjustments to the Settlement Amount for such Note Hedging Units), if Dealer determines, in its reasonable discretion based on the advice of counsel (in the case of clause (a) or sub-clause (b)(ii) below) or in its commercially reasonable discretion (in the case of sub-clause (b)(i) below), that (a) a Regulatory Disruption has occurred or (b) such extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate to (i) preserve Dealers hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions (but only if there is a material decrease in liquidity relative to Dealers expectations on the Trade Date) or (ii) enable Dealer to effect purchases of Shares in connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if Dealer were the Issuer or an affiliated purchaser of the Issuer, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer. Regulatory Disruption shall mean any event that Dealer determines makes it appropriate with regard to any legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements or related policies and procedures (whether or not such requirements, policies or procedures are imposed by law or have been voluntarily adopted by Dealer), for Dealer to refrain from or decrease any market activity in connection with the Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the case of a postponement pursuant to sub-clause (b)(i) above, no such Exercise Date or Settlement Date or other date of valuation or delivery may be postponed or added more than 30 Scheduled Trading Days after the original Exercise Date or Settlement Date or other date of valuation or delivery, as the case may be.
Transfer or Assignment. Counterparty may not transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Transaction without the prior written consent of Dealer not to be unreasonably withheld. For the avoidance of doubt, Dealer may condition its consent on any of the following, without limitation: (i) the receipt by Dealer of opinions and documentation reasonably satisfactory to Dealer in connection with such transfer, (ii) such transfer being effected on terms reasonably satisfactory to Dealer with respect to any legal and regulatory requirements relevant to Dealer, (iii) the transferee being a United States person (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), (iv) that, in Dealers reasonable determination, Dealer will not be required, as a result of such transfer, to pay the transferee an amount under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement greater than the amount, if any, that Dealer would have been required to pay to Counterparty in the absence of such transfer, (v) that, in Dealers reasonable determination, no Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or Termination Event will occur as a result of such transfer and (vi) that Counterparty will continue to be obligated to provide notices hereunder relating to the Convertible Notes and will continue to be obligated under the provisions set forth under Disposition of Hedge Shares and Repurchase Notices herein. In addition, Dealer may not, without the consent of Counterparty (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), transfer or assign all or a portion of its Note Hedging Units hereunder except to any affiliate of Dealer (x) that has, at the time of such transfer or assignment, a rating for its long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness that is equal to or better than Dealers credit rating, or (y) whose obligation hereunder will be guaranteed, pursuant to the terms of a customary guarantee in a form used by Dealer generally for similar transactions, by Dealer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall be a further condition to a transfer or assignment by Dealer without Counterpartys consent that such transfer or assignment would not result in a deemed exchange by Counterparty of the transferred or assigned portion of the Transaction for a modified transaction that differs materially in kind or extent for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
If (a) at any time (1) the Section 16 Equity Percentage exceeds 8%, (2) the Unit Equity Percentage exceeds 14.5% or (3) Dealer, Dealer Group (as defined below) or any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Dealer or Dealer Group (Dealer, Dealer Group or any such person, a Dealer Person) under any federal, state or local (including non-U.S.) laws, rules, regulations or regulatory orders, or any organizational documents or contracts of Counterparty that are, in each case, applicable to ownership of Shares (Applicable Restrictions), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership, or could be reasonably viewed as meeting any of the foregoing, in excess of a number of Shares equal to (x) the number of Shares that would give rise to reporting, registration, filing or notification obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval by a state, federal or non-U.S. regulator) of a Dealer Person, or could result in an adverse effect on a Dealer Person (except for any filings of Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G under the Exchange Act or any other filing obligations applicable as of the date hereof), under Applicable Restrictions, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion, and with respect to which such requirements have not been met or the relevant approval has not been received minus (y)
19
1% of the number of Shares outstanding on the date of determination (either such condition described in clause (1), (2) or (3), an Excess Ownership Position), and (b) Dealer is unable, after commercially reasonable efforts, to effect a transfer or assignment on pricing and terms and within a time period reasonably acceptable to it of all or a portion of this Transaction pursuant to the preceding paragraph such that an Excess Ownership Position no longer exists (it being understood and agreed that, if an Excess Ownership Position exists, the condition to transfer or assignment set forth in the last sentence of the preceding paragraph shall not apply), Dealer may designate any Scheduled Trading Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion (the Terminated Portion) of this Transaction, such that an Excess Ownership Position no longer exists following such partial termination. In the event that Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of this Transaction, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (i) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to this Transaction and a Number of Note Hedging Units equal to the Terminated Portion, (ii) Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (iii) such Transaction shall be the only Terminated Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions set forth under the caption Alternative Calculations and Dealer Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events shall apply to any amount that is payable by Dealer to Counterparty pursuant to this sentence). The Section 16 Equity Percentage as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Dealer and any of its affiliates subject to aggregation with Dealer 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 Dealer (collectively, Dealer Group) beneficially own (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act) without duplication on such day (or to the extent that the equivalent calculation under Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder results in a higher number, such number) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day.
Designation by Dealer. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any shares or other securities to or from Counterparty, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such shares or other securities and otherwise to perform Dealers obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such performance.
Matters Related to Agent. Each party agrees and acknowledges that (i) Agent acts solely as agent on a disclosed basis with respect to the Transaction, and (ii) Agent has no obligation, by guaranty, endorsement or otherwise, with respect to the obligations of either Counterparty or Dealer hereunder, either with respect to the delivery of cash or Shares, either at the beginning or the end of the Transaction. In this regard, each of Counterparty and Dealer acknowledges and agrees to look solely to the other for performance hereunder, and not to Agent.
Severability; Illegality. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, if compliance by either party with any provision of the Transaction would be unenforceable or illegal, (a) the parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such unenforceability or illegality in a manner that preserves the economic benefits of the transactions contemplated hereby and (b) the other provisions of the Transaction shall not be invalidated, but shall remain in full force and effect.
Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THE TRANSACTION. EACH PARTY (I) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF SUCH A SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTY HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THE TRANSACTION, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS PROVIDED HEREIN.
20
Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act. In connection with Section 739 of the Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act of 2010 (WSTAA), the parties hereby agree that neither the enactment of WSTAA or any regulation under the WSTAA, nor any requirement under WSTAA or an amendment made by WSTAA, shall limit or otherwise impair either partys otherwise applicable rights to terminate, renegotiate, modify, amend or supplement this Confirmation or the Agreement, as applicable, arising from a termination event, force majeure, illegality, increased costs, regulatory change or similar event under this Confirmation, the Equity Definitions incorporated herein, or the Agreement (including, but not limited to, rights arising from Change in Law, Hedging Disruption, Increased Cost of Hedging, an Excess Ownership Position, or Illegality (as defined in the Agreement)).
Agreements and Acknowledgements Regarding Hedging. Counterparty understands, acknowledges and agrees that: (A) at any time on and prior to the Expiration Date, Dealer and its affiliates may buy or sell Shares or other securities or buy or sell options or futures contracts or enter into swaps or other derivative securities in order to adjust its hedge position with respect to the Transaction; (B) Dealer and its affiliates also may be active in the market for Shares other than in connection with hedging activities in relation to the Transaction; (C) Dealer shall make its own determination as to whether, when or in what manner any hedging or market activities in securities of Issuer shall be conducted and shall do so in a manner that it deems appropriate to hedge its price and market risk with respect to the Daily VWAP; and (D) any market activities of Dealer and its affiliates with respect to Shares may affect the market price and volatility of Shares, as well as the Daily VWAP, each in a manner that may be adverse to Counterparty.
Early Unwind. In the event the sale of the Additional Securities (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement) is not consummated with the underwriters thereof for any reason, other than in cases involving breach of the Underwriting Agreement by Dealer or its affiliate, by the close of business in New York on May 23, 2012 (or such later date as agreed upon by the parties) (May 23, 2012 or such later date as agreed upon being the Early Unwind Date), the Transaction shall automatically terminate (the Early Unwind) on the Early Unwind Date and (a) the Transaction and all of the respective rights and obligations of Dealer and Counterparty under the Transaction shall be cancelled and terminated and (b) each party shall be released and discharged by the other party from and agrees not to make any claim against the other party with respect to any obligations or liabilities of the other party arising out of and to be performed in connection with the Transaction either prior to or after the Early Unwind Date. Dealer and Counterparty represent and acknowledge to the other that, upon an Early Unwind, all obligations with respect to the Transaction shall be deemed fully and finally discharged.
Payment by Counterparty. In the event that, following payment of the Premium, (i) an Early Termination Date occurs or is designated with respect to the Transaction as a result of a Termination Event or an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default or Termination Event within Counterpartys control) and, as a result, Counterparty owes to Dealer an amount calculated under Section 6(e) of the Agreement, or (ii) Counterparty owes to Dealer any amount under Consequences of Merger Events above (other than as a result of a Merger Event that resulted from an event or events within Counterpartys control), such amount shall be deemed to be zero.

For the avoidance of doubt, if the immediately preceding sentence would result in the exercise of a fraction of a Note Hedging Unit on any day, the number of Shares and/or amount of cash deliverable in respect of such portion of a Note Hedging Unit shall be equal to the product of such fraction and the Settlement Amount applicable to a full Note Hedging Unit exercised on such day. | |
Expiration Date: | June 1, 2017 | |
Multiple Exercise: | Applicable, as provided under Required Exercise on Conversion Dates. | |
Automatic Exercise: | As provided under Required Exercise on Conversion Dates. | |

(i) the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes as to which the related Conversion Date has occurred (including, if applicable, whether all or any portion of such Convertible Notes are Convertible Notes as to which Additional Shares would be added to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 8.03 of the Supplemental Indenture (the Make-Whole Convertible Notes)),
(ii) the scheduled commencement date of the Conversion Period and the scheduled settlement date under the Indenture for the Convertible Notes converted on the Conversion Date corresponding to such Exercise Date, and |
4
(iii) the applicable Cash Percentage; provided that, if the Cash Percentage specified is a percentage other than 0%, such notice shall contain an acknowledgment by Counterparty of its responsibilities under applicable securities laws, and in particular, Section 9 and 10(b) of the U.S. Securities Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) and the rules and regulations thereunder, in respect of any election of a Cash Percentage settlement method with respect to the relevant Convertible Notes; provided, further that if Counterparty fails to timely provide the notice described in this clause (iii) or such notice does not contain the foregoing acknowledgment to the extent required by this clause (iii), notwithstanding anything to the contrary under Settlement Amount below, the Settlement Amount for each relevant Note Hedging Unit shall be the Settlement Amount (as determined by the Calculation Agent) that would have been deliverable hereunder by Dealer with respect to such Note Hedging Unit if Counterparty had elected a Cash Percentage of 0%.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in respect of Convertible Notes with a Conversion Date during the period beginning on, and including, March 1, 2017 and ending at the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date:
(x) the Notice Deadline in respect of the information set forth in clause (i) above shall be 5:00 PM, New York City time, on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date,
(y) the Notice of Exercise need not include the information set forth in clause (ii) above, and

For the avoidance of doubt, if Counterparty fails to give a Notice of Exercise when due in respect of any exercise of Note Hedging Units hereunder as set forth above, Dealers obligation to make any payment or delivery in respect of such exercise shall be permanently extinguished, and late notice shall not cure such failure; provided that a Notice of Exercise (and the related exercise of Note Hedging Units) shall be effective with respect to Note Hedging Units relating to Convertible Notes converted prior to March 1, 2017, if given after the Notice Deadline but prior to 5:00 PM New York City time on the fifth Scheduled Trading Day following the Notice Deadline, in which event the Calculation Agent shall have the right to adjust the applicable Settlement Amount as appropriate to reflect the additional costs (including, but not limited to, hedging mismatches and market losses) and reasonable expenses incurred by Dealer in connection with its hedging activities (including the unwinding of any hedge position) as a result of Dealer not having received such notice on or prior to the Notice Deadline. |
5
Settlement Terms: | ||
Settlement: | In lieu of the obligations set forth in Sections 8.1 and 9.1 of the Equity Definitions, and subject to Notice of Exercise above, in respect of any validly exercised Note Hedging Unit, Dealer shall deliver to Counterparty, on the related Settlement Date, the Settlement Amount.
For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent Dealer is obligated to deliver Shares hereunder, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.11 and 9.12 of the Equity Definitions shall be applicable to any such delivery of Shares, except that all references in such provisions to Physical Settlement and Physically-settled shall be read as references to Share Settlement and Share Settled; and provided 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 arising from Counterpartys status as issuer of the Shares or arising from such Shares being restricted securities (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act)). Share Settlement means settlement of a Note Hedging Unit pursuant to Settlement Amount below, and Share Settled has a meaning correlative thereto. | |
Settlement Amount: | The aggregate of (i) the number of Shares that Counterparty is obligated to deliver and (ii) the amount of cash that Counterparty is obligated to pay less USD 1,000, in each case, to the holder of USD 1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes converted on such Conversion Date pursuant to Section 8.02 of the Supplemental Indenture.
The number of Shares included in the Settlement Amount shall not take into consideration any rounding pursuant to Section 8.02(j) of the Supplemental Indenture. Instead Dealer will deliver cash in lieu of any fractional Shares based on (i) the Daily VWAP on the last Trading Day of the applicable Conversion Period and (ii) the aggregate number of Note Hedging Units exercised on any Exercise Date.
In addition, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein:
(i) the Settlement Amount shall be determined by the Calculation Agent excluding any increase to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 8.03 of the Supplemental Indenture (a Fundamental Change Adjustment) or any voluntary adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 8.04(g) of the Supplemental Indenture (a Discretionary Adjustment); and
(ii) if Counterparty or its board of directors is permitted or required to exercise discretion under the terms of the Indenture with respect to any determination, calculation or adjustment (including, without limitation, any adjustment under Section 8.04(i) or 8.05 of the Supplemental Indenture, any adjustment to the terms of the Convertible Notes following a Merger Event pursuant to Section 8.07 of the Supplemental Indenture, any adjustment to the Dividend Threshold Amount relating to a change in the regular dividend period for purposes of Section 8.04(d) of the Supplemental Indenture or any |
6
determination of the fair market value of distributed property, the volume weighted average price of Shares or the value of a unit of Reference Property) (any such determination, calculation or adjustment, a Counterparty Determination), Counterparty shall consult with Dealer with respect thereto and, if the Calculation Agent disagrees in good faith with such determination, calculation or adjustment, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Calculation Agent shall make the relevant determination, calculation or adjustment for purposes of the Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, such determination, calculation or adjustment shall be made (A) in accordance with the methodology set forth in the Indenture, except as set forth herein, and (B) using, where relevant, variables determined by the Calculation Agent).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the sum of (x) the product of the number of Shares delivered in respect of a Note Hedging Unit and the Applicable Limit Price on the Settlement Date for such Note Hedging Unit and (y) the amount of cash paid in respect of any Note Hedging Unit (including any cash in lieu of any fractional Share), exceed the Applicable Limit for such Note Hedging Unit.
Section 6.3(a) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the remainder of clause (ii) thereof following the words at any time. | ||
Applicable Limit: | For any exercised Note Hedging Unit, an amount in USD equal to the product of the Applicable Percentage and the excess of (i) the sum of (A) the amount of cash, if any, paid to the holder of USD 1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes converted on the related Conversion Date and (B) the product of (x) the number of Shares, if any, delivered to the holder of USD 1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes converted on the related Conversion Date and (y) the Applicable Limit Price on the applicable Settlement Date over (ii) USD 1,000. | |
Applicable Limit Price: | On any day, the opening price as displayed under the heading Op on Bloomberg page MRX <equity> (or any successor thereto). | |
Notice of Delivery Obligation: | No later than the Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the last day of the relevant Conversion Period, Counterparty shall give Dealer notice of the final number of Shares and/or the amount of cash that Counterparty is required to deliver to holders of the relevant Convertible Notes (the Convertible Obligation); provided that:
(i) Counterparty may provide a single such notice of the aggregate Convertible Obligation for all Convertible Notes converted on or after March 1, 2017,
(ii) the requirement of Counterparty to deliver such notice shall not limit Counterpartys obligations with respect to Notice of Exercise, as set forth above, in any way; and |
7
(iii) in the case of any late delivery of a Notice of Delivery Obligation, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Settlement Date for any related Note Hedging Unit shall be the second Scheduled Trading Day following the date such notice is delivered; provided, further, that if Counterparty fails to deliver such notice prior to 5:00 PM New York City time on the fifth Scheduled Trading Day following the last day of the relevant Conversion Period, Dealers obligation to make any payment or delivery in respect of the related exercise of Note Hedging Units shall be permanently extinguished and any delivery of such notice thereafter shall not cure such failure. | ||
Settlement Date: | In respect of an Exercise Date, the settlement date for the Shares or cash to be delivered under the Convertible Notes converted on the corresponding Conversion Date under the terms of the Indenture. | |
Settlement Currency: | USD. | |
Restricted Certificated Shares: | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Equity Definitions, Dealer may, in whole or in part, deliver Shares in certificated form representing the Share portion of the Settlement Amount to Counterparty in lieu of delivery through the Clearance System. | |
Share Adjustments: | ||
Potential Adjustment Events: | Notwithstanding Section 11.2(e) of the Equity Definitions, a Potential Adjustment Event means any occurrence of any event or condition, as set forth in Section 8.04(i), 8.04(a)(e) or 8.05 of the Supplemental Indenture, that would result in an adjustment under the Indenture to the Conversion Rate or any other term of the Convertible Notes; provided that in no event shall there be any adjustment hereunder as a result of a Fundamental Change Adjustment or a Discretionary Adjustment.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) Dealer shall not have any delivery obligation hereunder in respect of any Distributed Property delivered by Counterparty to which the fifth sentence of Section 8.04(c) of the Supplemental Indenture would apply and no adjustment shall be made to the terms of the Transaction on account of the delivery of such Distributed Property to holders of the Shares and (ii) if Counterparty pays a cash dividend to which the last paragraph of Section 8.04(d) of the Supplemental Indenture would apply, Dealer will pay to Counterparty an amount of cash equal to the amount of such cash dividend that Dealer or its affiliate receives on its Hedge Positions in respect of the Transaction promptly following Dealers receipt thereof. | |
Method of Adjustment: | Calculation Agent Adjustment, which means that, notwithstanding Section 11.2(c) of the Equity Definitions, upon any Potential Adjustment Event (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Fundamental Change Adjustment or Discretionary Adjustment), the Calculation Agent shall make a corresponding adjustment to any one or more of the Strike Price, Number of Note Hedging Units, the Note Hedging Unit Entitlement, the composition of the Shares and any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement, payment or other terms of the Transaction (subject to the provisions set forth under Settlement Amount above in respect of any Counterparty Determination). |
8
Dividends: | If (i) an ex-dividend date for a cash dividend or distribution on the Shares (a Triggering Dividend) that is less than the Regular Dividend occurs on or after the Trade Date and on or prior to the Expiration Date, or (ii) no ex-dividend date for a cash dividend or distribution on the Shares occurs in any regular dividend period of Counterparty (as determined by the Calculation Agent) that falls, in whole or in part, after the Trade Date and on or prior to the Expiration Date, then, in each case, the Calculation Agent will make such adjustments to any one or more of the variables relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment or other terms of the Transaction as it determines appropriate to account for the economic effect on the Transaction of such shortfall or lack of a dividend, as the case may be. | |
Regular Dividend: | For the first Triggering Dividend for which the ex-dividend date occurs within any regular dividend period of Counterparty (as determined by the Calculation Agent), USD 0.10 per Share (subject to adjustment (x) by the Calculation Agent to account for any change in the regular dividend period length and (y) as contemplated by Section 11.2(c) of the Equity Definitions), and, for any subsequent Triggering Dividend for which the ex-dividend date occurs within the same regular dividend period, zero. | |
Extraordinary Events: | ||
Merger Events: | Notwithstanding Section 12.1(b) of the Equity Definitions, a Merger Event means the occurrence of any event or condition set forth in the definition of Merger Event in Section 8.07(a) of the Supplemental Indenture. | |
Notice of Merger Consideration: | In respect of any Merger Event, Counterparty shall notify the Calculation Agent of (i) if applicable, the weighted average of the kind and amounts of consideration to be received by the holders of Shares in any Merger Event who affirmatively make such an election and (ii) the details of the adjustments made under the Indenture in respect of such Merger Event, in each case, reasonably promptly upon determination thereof (and in any event prior to the effective date of the Merger Event), and Counterparty shall deliver a copy of the supplemental indenture effecting such adjustments (a Merger Supplemental Indenture) as promptly as practicable following execution thereof. | |
Consequences of Merger Events: | Notwithstanding Section 12.2 of the Equity Definitions, upon the occurrence of a Merger Event, the Calculation Agent shall make the corresponding adjustment in respect of any adjustment under the Indenture to any one or more of the nature of the Shares, the Strike Price, the Number of Note Hedging Units, the Note Hedging Unit Entitlement, the Settlement Date and any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment or other terms of the Transaction to the extent an analogous adjustment is permitted or required to be made |
9
pursuant to the Indenture in connection with such Merger Event (subject to the provisions set forth under Settlement Amount above in respect of any Counterparty Determination); provided that such adjustment shall be made without regard to any Fundamental Change Adjustment or any Discretionary Adjustment; and provided further that the Calculation Agent may limit or alter any such adjustment referenced in this paragraph to preserve the intended economic benefits of the Transaction; and provided further that if, with respect to a Merger Event, (i) the consideration for the Shares includes (or, at the option of a holder of Shares, may include) shares (or depositary receipts with respect to shares) of an entity or person that is not a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia or (ii) Counterparty following such Merger Event will not be a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia or will not be either (x) the Issuer following such Merger Event or (y) a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer following such Merger Event whose obligations under the Transaction are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by such Issuer, Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination) may apply at Dealers sole election. | ||
Nationalization, Insolvency and Delisting: | Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination); provided that in addition to the provisions of Section 12.6(a)(iii) of the Equity Definitions, it shall also constitute a Delisting if the Exchange is located in the United States and the Shares are not immediately re-listed, re-traded or re-quoted on any of the New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market or The NASDAQ Global Market (or their respective successors); if the Shares are immediately re-listed, re-traded or re-quoted on any such exchange or quotation system, such exchange or quotation system shall thereafter be deemed to be the Exchange. | |

12
(ix) | (A) Counterparty is acting for its own account, and it has made its own independent decisions to enter into the Transaction and as to whether the Transaction is appropriate or proper for it based upon its own judgment and upon advice from such advisers as it has deemed necessary, (B) Counterparty is not relying on any communication (written or oral) of Dealer or any of its affiliates as investment advice or as a recommendation to enter into the Transaction (it being understood that information and explanations related to the terms and conditions of the Transaction shall not be considered investment advice or a recommendation to enter into the Transaction) and (C) no communication (written or oral) received from Dealer or any of its affiliates shall be deemed to be an assurance or guarantee as to the expected results of the Transaction. |
(x) | Without limiting the generality of Section 13.1 of the Equity Definitions, Counterparty acknowledges that Dealer is not making any representations or warranties with respect to the treatment of the Transaction under ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share, ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC Topic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging Contracts in Entitys Own Equity (or any successor issue statements), or under any other accounting guidance. |

(xiv) | No state or local (including non-U.S. jurisdictions) or non-U.S. federal law, rule, regulation or regulatory order applicable to the Shares or the Issuer would give rise to any reporting, consent, registration or other requirement (including without limitation a requirement to obtain prior approval from any person or entity) as a result of Dealer or its affiliates having the power to vote, owning or holding (however defined) Shares. |
(xv) | Counterparty shall deliver to Dealer on the Effective Date an opinion of counsel, dated as of such date and reasonably acceptable to Dealer in form and substance, with respect to the matters set forth in Section 3(a) of the Agreement and such other matters as Dealer may reasonably request. |
Miscellaneous:
Set-Off. Each party waives any and all rights it may have to set off obligations arising under the Agreement and the Transaction against other obligations between the parties, whether arising under any other agreement, applicable law or otherwise.
13
Qualified Financial Contracts. It is the intention of the parties that, in respect of Counterparty, (a) the Transaction shall constitute a qualified financial contract within the meaning of 12 U.S.C. Section 1821(e)(8)(D)(i) and (b) a Non-defaulting Partys rights under Sections 5 and 6 of the Agreement constitute rights of the kind referred to in 12 U.S.C. Section 1821(e)(8)(A).
Staggered Settlement. If upon advice of counsel with respect to applicable legal and regulatory requirements, including any requirements relating to Dealers hedging activities hereunder, Dealer reasonably determines that it would not be advisable to deliver, or to acquire Shares to deliver, any or all of the Shares to be delivered by Dealer on the relevant Settlement Date, Dealer may, by notice to Counterparty on or prior to any Settlement Date on which Dealer would be required to deliver Shares hereunder (a Nominal Settlement Date), elect to deliver such Shares on two or more dates (each, a Staggered Settlement Date) or at two or more times on the Nominal Settlement Date as follows: (i) in such notice, Dealer will specify to Counterparty the related Staggered Settlement Dates (each of which will be on or prior to such Nominal Settlement Date, but not prior to the beginning of the related Conversion Period) or delivery times and how it will allocate the Shares it is required to deliver under Settlement above among the Staggered Settlement Dates or delivery times; and (ii) the aggregate number of Shares that Dealer will deliver to Counterparty hereunder on all such Staggered Settlement Dates and delivery times will equal the number of Shares that Dealer would otherwise be required to deliver on such Nominal Settlement Date.
Additional Termination Events.
(i) | The occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to Counterparty under the terms of the Convertible Notes as set forth in Section 5.01 of the Supplemental Indenture that results in the Convertible Notes becoming or being declared due and payable pursuant to the Indenture shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (x) Counterparty shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, (y) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (z) Dealer may designate an Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement (which Exchange Business Day shall be on or as promptly as reasonably practicable after the occurrence of such acceleration). |
(ii) | Promptly following, but in no event later than the fifth Exchange Business Day after, any repurchase and cancellation of Convertible Notes (whether pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Supplemental Indenture, Section 2.07 of the Supplemental Indenture or otherwise), Counterparty shall notify Dealer in writing of such repurchase and cancellation and the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes so repurchased and cancelled (any such notice, a Repurchase Notice); provided that such Repurchase Notice shall contain an acknowledgement by Counterparty of its responsibilities under applicable securities laws, and in particular Section 9 and 10(b) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, in respect of such repurchase and the delivery of such Repurchase Notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, the receipt by Dealer from Counterparty of any Repurchase Notice, within the applicable time period set forth in the preceding sentence and containing the acknowledgement set forth in the preceding proviso, shall constitute an Additional Termination Event as provided in this clause (ii). Upon receipt of any such Repurchase Notice, Dealer shall designate an Exchange Business Day following receipt of such Repurchase Notice (which Exchange Business Day shall be within a commercially reasonable period of time after the related settlement date for the repurchase of such Convertible Notes) as an Early Termination Date with respect to the portion of this Transaction corresponding to a number of Note Hedging Units (the Repurchase Note Hedging Units) equal to the lesser of (A)(x) the product of (1) the Applicable Percentage and (2) the aggregate principal amount of such Convertible Notes specified in such Repurchase Notice, divided by USD 1,000 minus (y) the number of Repurchase Note Hedging Units (as defined in the Base Note Hedge Confirmation), if any, that relate to such Convertible Notes and (B) the Number of Note Hedging Units as of the date Dealer designates such Early Termination Date and, as of such date, the Number of Note Hedging Units shall be reduced by the number of Repurchase Note Hedging Units. Any payment hereunder with respect to such termination shall be calculated pursuant to Section 6 of the |
14
Agreement as if (1) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to this Transaction and a Number of Note Hedging Units equal to the number of Repurchase Note Hedging Units, (2) Counterparty were the sole Affected Party with respect to such Additional Termination Event and (3) the terminated portion of the Transaction were the sole Affected Transaction.
(iii) | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, the receipt by Dealer from Counterparty, within the applicable time period set forth under Notice of Exercise above, of any Notice of Exercise in respect of Note Hedging Units that relate to Make-Whole Convertible Notes shall constitute an Additional Termination Event as provided in this clause (iii). Upon receipt of any such Notice of Exercise, Dealer shall designate an Exchange Business Day following such Additional Termination Event (which Exchange Business Day shall be within a commercially reasonable period of time after the related settlement date for such Make-Whole Convertible Notes) as an Early Termination Date with respect to the portion of this Transaction corresponding to a number of Note Hedging Units (the Make-Whole Note Hedging Units) equal to the lesser of (A)(x) the product of (1) the Applicable Percentage and (2) the aggregate principal amount of such Make-Whole Convertible Notes specified in such Exercise Notice, divided by USD 1,000 minus (y) the number of Make-Whole Note Hedging Units (as defined in the Base Note Hedge Confirmation), if any, that relate to such Make-Whole Convertible Notes and (B) the Number of Note Hedging Units as of the date Dealer designates such Early Termination Date and, as of such date, the Number of Note Hedging Units shall be reduced by the number of Make-Whole Note Hedging Units. Any payment hereunder with respect to such termination (the Make-Whole Unwind Payment) shall be calculated pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (1) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to this Transaction and a Number of Note Hedging Units equal to the number of Make-Whole Note Hedging Units, (2) Counterparty were the sole Affected Party with respect to such Additional Termination Event and (3) the terminated portion of the Transaction were the sole Affected Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, in determining the amount payable pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement, the Calculation Agent shall not take into account any Fundamental Change Adjustment); provided that the amount of cash deliverable in respect of such early termination by Dealer to Counterparty shall not be greater than the excess of (x) (I) the number of Make-Whole Note Hedging Units multiplied by (II) the Conversion Rate (after taking into account any applicable Fundamental Change Adjustment) multiplied by (III) the Applicable Limit Price on the applicable Settlement Date determined by the Calculation Agent in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner over (y) the product of USD 1,000 and the number of such Make-Whole Note Hedging Units, as determined by the Calculation Agent in a commercially reasonable manner. If Counterparty has (or is deemed to have) specified a Cash Percentage that is less than 100% in the Notice of Exercise relating to any Make-Whole Note Hedging Units, then in lieu of paying the Make-Whole Unwind Payment as set forth above, Dealer shall (A) pay to Counterparty an amount of cash equal to (1) such Cash Percentage, multiplied by (2) such Make-Whole Unwind Payment, and (B) deliver to Counterparty a number of Shares equal to (1) 100% minus such Cash Percentage, multiplied by (2) such Make-Whole Unwind Payment, divided by (3) a price per Share determined by the Calculation Agent in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, in each case, on the date such Make-Whole Unwind Payment would otherwise be due pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and this Confirmation (or within a commercially reasonable period of time thereafter, as determined by Dealer taking into account existing liquidity conditions and Dealers hedging and hedge unwind activity or settlement activity in connection with such payment and delivery). |
Counterparty agrees that it will promptly cancel any repurchased Convertible Notes pursuant to Section 2.06 of the Supplemental Indenture.
For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions set forth below under Alternative Calculations and Dealer Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events, including and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein, shall apply to any Dealer Payment Obligation amount resulting from an Additional Termination Event set forth in clause (i) or (ii) above.
15
Disposition of Hedge Shares. Counterparty hereby agrees that if, in the good faith reasonable judgment of Dealer based on the advice of counsel, the Shares (the Hedge Shares) acquired by Dealer or any of its affiliates (collectively for the purposes of this paragraph only, Dealer) for the purpose of hedging its obligations pursuant to the Transaction cannot be sold in the public market by Dealer without registration under the Securities Act, Counterparty shall, at its election: (i) in order to allow Dealer to sell the Hedge Shares in a registered offering, make available to Dealer 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 satisfactory to Dealer, substantially in the form of an underwriting agreement for a registered offering of substantially similar size, (B) provide accountants comfort letters in customary form for registered offerings of equity securities of substantially similar size, (C) provide disclosure opinions of nationally recognized outside counsel to Counterparty reasonably acceptable to Dealer, (D) provide other customary opinions, certificates and closing documents customary in form for registered offerings of equity securities of substantially similar size and (E) afford Dealer a reasonable opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation with respect to Counterparty customary in scope for underwritten offerings of equity securities of substantially similar size; provided, however, that if Dealer, in its sole 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 paragraph shall apply at the election of Counterparty; (ii) in order to allow Dealer 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 of substantially similar size, in form and substance satisfactory to Dealer, including customary representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to Dealer, due diligence rights (for Dealer or any designated buyer of the Hedge Shares from Dealer), opinions and certificates and such other documentation as is customary for private placements agreements for private placements of equity securities of substantially similar size, all reasonably acceptable to Dealer (in which case, the Calculation Agent shall make any adjustments to the terms of the Transaction that are necessary, in its commercially reasonable determination, to compensate Dealer 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 Dealer at the VWAP Price on such Exchange Business Days, and in the amounts, requested by Dealer. 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 MRX.N <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, or is, in the Calculation Agents reasonable discretion, erroneous, the market value of one Share on such Exchange Business Day, as determined by the Calculation Agent using, if practicable, a volume-weighted method). This paragraph shall survive the termination, expiration or early unwind of the Transaction.
Status of Claims in Bankruptcy. Dealer acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to convey to Dealer rights with respect to the Transaction that are senior to the claims of common stockholders in any U.S. bankruptcy proceedings of Counterparty; provided that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealers right to pursue remedies in the event of a breach by Counterparty of its obligations and agreements with respect to the Transaction other than during Counterpartys bankruptcy; provided, further, that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealers rights in respect of any transactions other than the Transaction.
No Collateral. Notwithstanding any provision of this Confirmation, the Agreement, Equity Definitions, or any other agreement between the parties to the contrary, the obligations of Counterparty under the Transaction are not secured by any collateral.
Securities Contract; Swap Agreement. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that Dealer is a financial institution, swap participant and financial participant within the meaning of Sections 101(22), 101(53C) and 101(22A) of the Bankruptcy Code. The parties hereto further agree and acknowledge (A) that this Confirmation is (i) a securities contract, as such term is defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code, with respect to which each payment and delivery hereunder or in connection herewith is a termination value, payment amount or other transfer obligation within the meaning of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and a
16
settlement payment or a transfer within the meaning of Section 546 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (ii) a swap agreement, as such term is defined in Section 101(53B) of the Bankruptcy Code, with respect to which each payment and delivery hereunder or in connection herewith is a termination value, a payment amount or other transfer obligation within the meaning of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and a transfer within the meaning of Section 546 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (B) that Dealer is entitled to the protections afforded by, among other sections, Section 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 362(b)(27), 362(o), 546(e), 546(g), 546(j), 548(d)(2), 555, 560 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code.
Repurchase Notices. Counterparty shall, on any day on which Counterparty effects any repurchase of Shares, provide Dealer with a written notice of such repurchase (a Repurchase Notice) on such day if, following such repurchase, the Unit Equity Percentage as determined on such day is greater by 0.5% or more than the Unit Equity Percentage included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice (or, in the case of the first such Repurchase Notice, greater by 0.5% or more than the Unit Equity Percentage as of the date hereof). The Unit Equity Percentage as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (i) the numerator of which is the sum of (A) the product of the number of Note Hedging Units and the Note Hedging Unit Entitlement and (B) the number of Shares underlying any other call option transaction between Dealer as seller and Counterparty as buyer, and (ii) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day. Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Dealer and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors, agents and controlling persons (each, a Section 16 Indemnified Person) from and against any and all losses (including losses relating to Dealers hedging activities as a consequence 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 reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees), joint or several, to which a Section 16 Indemnified Person may become subject, as a result of Counterpartys failure to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this paragraph, and to reimburse, within 30 days upon written request, each of such Section 16 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 Section 16 Indemnified Person, such Section 16 Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Counterparty in writing, and Counterparty, upon request of the Section 16 Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Section 16 Indemnified Person to represent the Section 16 Indemnified Person and any others Counterparty may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. Counterparty shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, Counterparty agrees to indemnify any Section 16 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 Section 16 Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Section 16 Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Section 16 Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Section 16 Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding on terms reasonably satisfactory to such Section 16 Indemnified Person. If the indemnification provided for in this paragraph is unavailable to a Section 16 Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then Counterparty, in lieu of indemnifying such Section 16 Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Section 16 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 that may otherwise be available to any Section 16 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.
Alternative Calculations and Dealer Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events. If Dealer owes Counterparty any amount in connection with the Transaction pursuant to Sections 12.2, 12.3 (and Consequences of Merger Events above), 12.6, 12.7 or 12.9 of the Equity Definitions (except in the case of an Extraordinary Event that (x) is within Counterpartys control or (y) as a result of which the Shares have changed into cash) or pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (except in the case of an Event of Default in which
17
Counterparty is the Defaulting Party or a Termination Event in which Counterparty is the Affected Party, other than an Event of Default or a Termination Event that resulted from an event or events outside Counterpartys control) (a Dealer Payment Obligation), Counterparty shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to require Dealer to satisfy any such Dealer Payment Obligation by delivery of Termination Delivery Units (as defined below) by (A) giving irrevocable telephonic notice to Dealer, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day, between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. New York time on the Early Termination Date or other date the transaction is terminated, as applicable (Notice of Dealer Termination Delivery) and (B) remaking the representation set forth under No Material Non-Public Information below on the date of such notice; provided that if Counterparty does not validly so elect (or is not permitted to elect) to require Dealer to satisfy its Dealer Payment Obligation by delivery of Termination Delivery Units, Dealer shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to elect to satisfy its Dealer Payment Obligation by delivery of Termination Delivery Units. Within a commercially reasonable period of time following receipt of a Notice of Dealer Termination Delivery or delivery by Dealer of notice of its election to satisfy the Dealer Payment Obligation by delivery of Termination Delivery Units, Dealer shall deliver to Counterparty a number of Termination Delivery Units having a cash value equal to the amount of such Dealer Payment Obligation (as determined by the Calculation Agent in a commercially reasonable manner). If the provisions set forth in this paragraph are applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.11 (modified as described above) and 9.12 of the Equity Definitions shall be applicable, except that all references to Shares shall be read as references to Termination Delivery Units. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Equity Definitions, Dealer may, in whole or in part, deliver securities comprising Termination Delivery Units in certificated form to Counterparty in lieu of delivery through the Clearance System.
Termination Delivery Unit means one Share or, if the Shares have changed into cash or any other property or the right to receive cash or any other property as the result of an Insolvency, Nationalization or Merger Event, a unit consisting of the number or amount of each type of property received by a holder of one Share (without consideration of any requirement to pay cash or other consideration in lieu of fractional amounts of any securities) in such Insolvency, Nationalization or Merger Event, as determined by the Calculation Agent. If such Insolvency, Nationalization or Merger Event involves a choice of consideration to be received by holders, the Calculation Agent shall determine the composition of such consideration in its commercially reasonable discretion.
No Material Non-Public Information. Counterparty represents and warrants to Dealer that it is not aware of any material nonpublic information concerning itself, the Shares or option contracts related to the Shares.
Right to Extend. Dealer may postpone any potential Exercise Date or Settlement Date or postpone or extend any other date of valuation or delivery with respect to some or all of the relevant Note Hedging Units (in which event the Calculation Agent shall make appropriate adjustments to the Settlement Amount for such Note Hedging Units), if Dealer determines, in its reasonable discretion based on the advice of counsel (in the case of clause (a) or sub-clause (b)(ii) below) or in its commercially reasonable discretion (in the case of sub-clause (b)(i) below), that (a) a Regulatory Disruption has occurred or (b) such extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate to (i) preserve Dealers hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions (but only if there is a material decrease in liquidity relative to Dealers expectations on the Trade Date) or (ii) enable Dealer to effect purchases of Shares in connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if Dealer were the Issuer or an affiliated purchaser of the Issuer, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer. Regulatory Disruption shall mean any event that Dealer determines makes it appropriate with regard to any legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements or related policies and procedures (whether or not such requirements, policies or procedures are imposed by law or have been voluntarily adopted by Dealer), for Dealer to refrain from or decrease any market activity in connection with the Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the case of a postponement pursuant to sub-clause (b)(i) above, no such Exercise Date or Settlement Date or other date of valuation or delivery may be postponed or added more than 30 Scheduled Trading Days after the original Exercise Date or Settlement Date or other date of valuation or delivery, as the case may be.
18
Transfer or Assignment. Counterparty may not transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Transaction without the prior written consent of Dealer not to be unreasonably withheld. For the avoidance of doubt, Dealer may condition its consent on any of the following, without limitation: (i) the receipt by Dealer of opinions and documentation reasonably satisfactory to Dealer in connection with such transfer, (ii) such transfer being effected on terms reasonably satisfactory to Dealer with respect to any legal and regulatory requirements relevant to Dealer, (iii) the transferee being a United States person (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), (iv) that, in Dealers reasonable determination, Dealer will not be required, as a result of such transfer, to pay the transferee an amount under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement greater than the amount, if any, that Dealer would have been required to pay to Counterparty in the absence of such transfer, (v) that, in Dealers reasonable determination, no Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or Termination Event will occur as a result of such transfer and (vi) that Counterparty will continue to be obligated to provide notices hereunder relating to the Convertible Notes and will continue to be obligated under the provisions set forth under Disposition of Hedge Shares and Repurchase Notices herein. In addition, Dealer may not, without the consent of Counterparty (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), transfer or assign all or a portion of its Note Hedging Units hereunder except to any affiliate of Dealer (x) that has, at the time of such transfer or assignment, a rating for its long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness that is equal to or better than Dealers credit rating, or (y) whose obligation hereunder will be guaranteed, pursuant to the terms of a customary guarantee in a form used by Dealer generally for similar transactions, by Dealer or Dealer Parent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall be a further condition to a transfer or assignment by Dealer without Counterpartys consent that such transfer or assignment would not result in a deemed exchange by Counterparty of the transferred or assigned portion of the Transaction for a modified transaction that differs materially in kind or extent for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
If (a) at any time (1) the Section 16 Equity Percentage exceeds 8%, (2) the Unit Equity Percentage exceeds 14.5% or (3) Dealer, Dealer Group (as defined below) or any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Dealer or Dealer Group (Dealer, Dealer Group or any such person, a Dealer Person) under any federal, state or local (including non-U.S.) laws, rules, regulations or regulatory orders, or any organizational documents or contracts of Counterparty that are, in each case, applicable to ownership of Shares (Applicable Restrictions), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership, or could be reasonably viewed as meeting any of the foregoing, in excess of a number of Shares equal to (x) the number of Shares that would give rise to reporting, registration, filing or notification obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval by a state, federal or non-U.S. regulator) of a Dealer Person, or could result in an adverse effect on a Dealer Person (except for any filings of Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G under the Exchange Act or any other filing obligations applicable as of the date hereof), under Applicable Restrictions, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion, and with respect to which such requirements have not been met or the relevant approval has not been received minus (y) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding on the date of determination (either such condition described in clause (1), (2) or (3), an Excess Ownership Position), and (b) Dealer is unable, after commercially reasonable efforts, to effect a transfer or assignment on pricing and terms and within a time period reasonably acceptable to it of all or a portion of this Transaction pursuant to the preceding paragraph such that an Excess Ownership Position no longer exists (it being understood and agreed that, if an Excess Ownership Position exists, the condition to transfer or assignment set forth in the last sentence of the preceding paragraph shall not apply), Dealer may designate any Scheduled Trading Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion (the Terminated Portion) of this Transaction, such that an Excess Ownership Position no longer exists following such partial termination. In the event that Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of this Transaction, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (i) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to this Transaction and a Number of Note Hedging Units equal to the Terminated Portion, (ii) Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (iii) such Transaction shall be the only Terminated Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions set forth under the caption Alternative Calculations and Dealer Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events shall apply to any amount that is payable by Dealer to Counterparty pursuant to this sentence). The Section 16 Equity Percentage as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Dealer and any of its affiliates subject to aggregation with Dealer 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 Dealer (collectively, Dealer Group) beneficially own (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act) without duplication on such day (or to the extent that the equivalent calculation under Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder results in a higher number, such number) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day.
19
Designation by Dealer. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any shares or other securities to or from Counterparty, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such shares or other securities and otherwise to perform Dealers obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such performance.
Role of Agent. Each party agrees and acknowledges that (i) J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, an affiliate of Dealer (JPMS), has acted solely as agent and not as principal with respect to the Transaction and (ii) JPMS has no obligation or liability, by way of guaranty, endorsement or otherwise, in any manner in respect of the Transaction (including, if applicable, in respect of the settlement thereof). Each party agrees it will look solely to the other party for performance of such other partys obligations under the Transaction.

Procedure for Exercise: | ||
In respect of any Component: |
||
Expiration Date: | As provided in Annex C to this Confirmation (or, if such date is not a Scheduled Trading Day, the next following Scheduled Trading Day that is not already an Expiration Date for another Component); provided that if that date is a Disrupted Day, the Expiration Date for such Component shall be the first succeeding Scheduled Trading Day that is not a Disrupted Day and is not or is not deemed to be an Expiration Date in respect of any other Component of the Transaction hereunder; and provided further that if the Expiration Date has not occurred pursuant to the preceding proviso as of the Final Disruption Date, then the Final Disruption Date shall be deemed to be the Expiration Date (irrespective of whether such date is an Expiration Date in respect of any other Component for the Transaction) and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation or the Equity Definitions, the Relevant Price for the Expiration Date shall be the prevailing market value per Share determined by the Calculation Agent in a commercially reasonable manner.

3

and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade compliance with the federal securities laws, and (C) the assets of Counterparty at their fair valuation exceed the liabilities of Counterparty (including contingent liabilities), and Counterparty has the ability to pay its debts and obligations as such debts mature; and (iii) the same election of settlement method shall apply to all Expiration Dates hereunder. | ||

Net Share Amount: | For any Exercise Date, a number of Shares, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to (x) the product of (i) the number of Warrants being exercised or deemed exercised on such Exercise Date, (ii) the Warrant Entitlement and (iii) the excess, if any, of the Relevant Price for the Valuation Date occurring on such Exercise Date over the Strike Price (such product, the Net Share Settlement Amount), divided by (y) such Relevant Price. | |

||

6
Extraordinary Events: | ||
New Shares: | In the definition of New Shares in Section 12.1(i) of the Equity Definitions (a) the text in clause (i) thereof shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with publicly quoted, traded or listed on any of the New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market or The NASDAQ Global Market (or their respective successors) and (b) the following clause shall be inserted at the end thereof: and (iii) of an entity or person that is a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia that either (x) also becomes Counterparty under the relevant Transaction following such Merger Event or Tender Offer or (y) wholly owns the Counterparty under the relevant Transaction following such Merger Event or Tender Offer (which Counterparty is a corporation that is organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia) and fully and unconditionally guarantees the obligations of Counterparty under the Transaction. | |

7

(iv) | Counterpartys filings under the Exchange Act and other applicable securities laws that are required to be filed have been filed and when considered as a whole (with the more recent such reports and documents deemed to amend inconsistent statements contained in any earlier such reports and documents), as of the date of this representation, do not contain any untrue statement of material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. |
(v) | The representations and warranties of Counterparty set forth in Section 3 of the Agreement and Section 1 of the Underwriting Agreement (the Underwriting Agreement) dated as of the Trade Date between Counterparty and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC as representatives of the underwriters party thereto are true and correct and are hereby deemed to be repeated to Dealer as if set forth herein. |
(vi) | The Shares issuable upon exercise of all Warrants (the Warrant Shares) (a) have been duly authorized and, when delivered pursuant to the terms of such Transaction, shall be validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable, and such issuance of the Warrant Shares shall not be subject to any preemptive or similar rights and (b) shall, upon such issuance, be accepted for listing or quotation upon the Exchange. In addition, Counterparty shall ensure that at all times until its delivery obligations hereunder have been met in full that the total number of Shares reserved for issuance hereunder and, prior to receipt of the Required NYSE Stockholder Approval (as defined below), for issuance under any Other Warrant Transaction (as defined below), in the aggregate, is at least equal to the Maximum Delivery Amount. |
(vii) | Counterparty is not as of the Trade Date and as of the date on which Counterparty delivers any Termination Delivery Units, and shall not be after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby, insolvent (as such term is defined in Section 101(32) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code) (the Bankruptcy Code)) and Counterparty would be able to purchase 13,276,700 Shares in compliance with the laws of the jurisdiction of Counterpartys incorporation or organization. |

(xii) | On each anniversary of the Trade Date, upon request by Dealer, Counterparty shall deliver to Dealer an officers certificate, signed by an authorized officer, stating the number of Available Shares (as defined in the provision titled Limitation On Delivery of Shares below). |
(xiii) | No state or local (including non-U.S. jurisdictions) or non-U.S. federal law, rule, regulation or regulatory order applicable to the Shares or Counterparty would give rise to any reporting, consent, registration or other requirement (including without limitation a requirement to obtain prior approval from any person or entity) as a result of Dealer or its affiliates having the power to vote, owning or holding (however defined) Shares. (xiv) During the period starting on the first Expiration Date and ending on the last Expiration Date (the Settlement Period), the Shares or securities that are convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, Shares will not be subject to a restricted period, as such term is defined in Regulation M under the Exchange Act (Regulation M) unless Counterparty has provided written notice to Dealer of such restricted period not later than the Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the first day of such restricted period.

independent contractors or other affiliates of Counterparty, including the withholding and/or purchase of Shares from holders of such options to satisfy payment of the option exercise price and/or satisfy tax withholding requirements in connection with the exercise of such options; (c) purchases of Shares from holders of performance shares or units or restricted shares or units to satisfy tax withholding requirements in connection with vesting; (d) the conversion or exchange by holders of any convertible or exchangeable securities of the Counterparty previously issued; or (e) purchases of Shares effected by or for a plan by an agent independent of the Counterparty that satisfy the requirements of Rule 10b-18(a)(13)(ii). |
Miscellaneous:
Netting and Set-Off. Each party waives any and all rights it may have to set off obligations arising under the Agreement and the Transaction against other obligations between the parties, whether arising under any other agreement, applicable law or otherwise.
Qualified Financial Contracts. It is the intention of the parties that, in respect of Counterparty, (a) the Transaction shall constitute a qualified financial contract within the meaning of 12 U.S.C. Section 1821(e)(8)(D)(i) and (b) a Non-defaulting Partys rights under Sections 5 and 6 of the Agreement constitute rights of the kind referred to in 12 U.S.C. Section 1821(e)(8)(A).
Method of Delivery. Whenever delivery of funds or other assets is required hereunder by or to Counterparty, such delivery shall be effected through Agent. In addition, all notices, demands and communications of any kind relating to the Transaction between Dealer and Counterparty shall be transmitted exclusively through Agent.
Status of Claims in Bankruptcy. Dealer acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to convey to Dealer rights with respect to the Transaction that are senior to the claims of common stockholders in any U.S. bankruptcy proceedings of Counterparty; provided that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealers right to pursue remedies in the event of a breach by Counterparty of its obligations and agreements with respect to the Transaction outside of Counterpartys bankruptcy; provided, further, that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealers rights in respect of any transactions other than the Transaction.
No Collateral. Notwithstanding any provision of this Confirmation, the Agreement, Equity Definitions, or any other agreement between the parties to the contrary, the obligations of Counterparty under the Transaction are not secured by any collateral.
Securities Contract; Swap Agreement. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that Dealer is a financial institution, swap participant and financial participant within the meaning of Sections 101(22), 101(53C) and 101(22A) of the Bankruptcy Code. The parties hereto further agree and acknowledge (A) that this Confirmation is (i) a securities contract, as such term is defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code, with respect to which each payment and delivery hereunder or in connection herewith is a termination value, payment amount or other transfer obligation within the meaning of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and a settlement payment or a transfer within the meaning of Section 546 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (ii) a swap agreement, as such term is defined in Section 101(53B) of the Bankruptcy Code, with respect to which each payment and delivery hereunder or in connection herewith is a termination value, a payment amount or other transfer obligation within the meaning of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and a transfer within the meaning of Section 546 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (B) that Dealer is entitled to the protections afforded by, among other sections, Section 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 362(b)(27), 362(o), 546(e), 546(g), 546(j), 548(d)(2), 555, 560 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code.
Alternative Calculations and Counterparty Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events. If Counterparty owes Dealer any amount in connection with the Transaction pursuant to Sections 12.2, 12.3, 12.6, 12.7 or 12.9 of the Equity Definitions (except in the case of an Extraordinary Event (x) that is within Counterpartys control or (y) as a result of which the Shares have changed into cash) or pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (except in the case of an Event of Default in which Counterparty is the Defaulting Party or a Termination Event in which Counterparty is the Affected Party, other than an Event of Default or a
13
Termination Event that resulted from an event or events outside Counterpartys control) (a Counterparty Payment Obligation), Counterparty shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to satisfy any such Counterparty Payment Obligation by delivery of Termination Delivery Units (as defined below) by (A) giving irrevocable telephonic notice to Dealer, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day, between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. New York time on the Early Termination Date or other date the transaction is terminated, as applicable (Notice of Counterparty Termination Delivery) and (B) remaking the representation set forth under No Material Non-Public Information below on the date of such notice; provided that if Counterparty does not validly elect (or is not permitted to elect) to satisfy its Counterparty Payment Obligation by delivery of Termination Delivery Units, Dealer shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to elect to require Counterparty to satisfy its Counterparty Payment Obligation by delivery of Termination Delivery Units. On a date determined by the Calculation Agent that is within a commercially reasonable period of time following receipt of a Notice of Counterparty Termination Delivery or a notice from Dealer requiring Counterparty to satisfy its Counterparty Payment Obligation by delivery of Termination Delivery Units, as the case may be, Counterparty shall deliver to Dealer a number of Termination Delivery Units having a cash value equal to the amount of such Counterparty Payment Obligation (as determined by the Calculation Agent in a commercially reasonable manner), subject to the provisions set forth opposite the caption Registration/Private Placement Procedures below. If the provisions set forth in this paragraph are applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.11 (modified as described above) and 9.12 of the Equity Definitions shall be applicable, except that all references to Shares shall be read as references to Termination Delivery Units.
Termination Delivery Unit means one Share or, if the Shares have changed into cash or any other property or the right to receive cash or any other property as the result of an Insolvency, Nationalization, Merger Event or Tender Offer, a unit consisting of the number or amount of each type of property received by a holder of one Share (without consideration of any requirement to pay cash or other consideration in lieu of fractional amounts of any securities) in such Insolvency, Nationalization, Merger Event or Tender Offer. If such Insolvency, Nationalization, Merger Event or Tender Offer involves a choice of consideration to be received by holders, the Calculation Agent shall determine the composition of such consideration in its commercially reasonable discretion.
Registration/Private Placement Procedures. If, in the reasonable opinion of Dealer based on advice of counsel, any Shares or Termination Delivery Units deliverable to Dealer hereunder, for any reason, would be in the hands of Dealer subject to any applicable restrictions on transfer (including, without limitation, any registration or qualification requirement or prospectus delivery requirement for such Shares or Termination Delivery Units) pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities law or otherwise (including, without limitation, any such requirement arising under Section 5 of the Securities Act as a result of such Shares or Termination Delivery Units being restricted securities, as such term is defined in Rule 144) (such Shares or Termination Delivery Units, Restricted Shares), then delivery of such Restricted Shares shall be effected pursuant to either clause (i) or (ii) of Annex A hereto at the election of Counterparty, unless the requirements of such clauses (i) and (ii) are waived by Dealer with respect to such delivery. Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely in respect of any Warrants exercised or deemed exercised on any Exercise Date, Counterparty shall elect, prior to the first Settlement Date for the first Exercise Date (or, if later, prior to the third Scheduled Trading Day following the date of notification by Dealer of the need for such settlement procedures), a Private Placement Settlement of similar size (as defined in Annex A hereto) or Registration Settlement (as defined in Annex A hereto) for all deliveries of Restricted Shares for all such Exercise Dates which election shall be applicable to all Settlement Dates for such Warrants and the procedures in clause (i) or clause (ii) of Annex A hereto shall apply for all such delivered Restricted Shares on an aggregate basis commencing after the final Settlement Date for such Warrants. The Calculation Agent shall make reasonable adjustments to settlement terms and provisions under this Confirmation to reflect a single Private Placement Settlement or Registration Settlement for such aggregate Restricted Shares delivered hereunder. If the Private Placement Settlement or the Registration Settlement shall not be effected as set forth in clauses (i) or (ii) of Annex A, as applicable, then failure to effect such Private Placement Settlement or such Registration Settlement shall constitute an Event of Default with respect to which Counterparty shall be the Defaulting Party.
14
Share Deliveries. Counterparty acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent that Dealer (or its affiliate) is not then an affiliate, as such term is used in Rule 144, of Counterparty and has not been such an affiliate of Counterparty for 90 days (it being understood that Dealer or its affiliate shall not be considered such an affiliate of Counterparty solely by reason of its right to receive Shares pursuant to a Transaction hereunder), any Shares or Termination Delivery Units delivered hereunder either prior to or after the first anniversary of the Premium Payment Date shall be eligible for resale under Rule 144 or any successor provision at all times following such first anniversary, and Counterparty agrees that any Shares or Termination Delivery Units delivered after such first anniversary shall not bear any legends restricting, or referring to restrictions on, the resale of such securities, and, with respect to any Shares or Termination Delivery Units delivered prior to such first anniversary, on such first anniversary Counterparty shall remove, or cause the transfer agent for such Shares or Termination Delivery Units to remove, any legends referring to any restrictions on resale under the Securities Act from the certificates representing such Shares or Termination Delivery Units, without any requirement for the delivery of any certificate, consent, agreement, opinion of counsel, notice or any other document, any transfer tax stamps or payment of any other amount or any other action by Dealer or such affiliate. Counterparty further agrees that with respect to any Shares or Termination Delivery Units delivered hereunder at any time after 6 months from the Premium Payment Date but prior to 1 year from the Premium Payment Date, to the extent that Counterparty then satisfies the current information requirement of Rule 144, Counterparty shall promptly remove, or cause the transfer agent for such Shares or Termination Delivery Units to remove, any legends referring to any such restrictions or requirements from the certificates representing such Share or Termination Delivery Units upon delivery by Dealer or its affiliate to Counterparty or such transfer agent of any customary sellers and brokers representation letters in connection with resales of such Shares or Termination Delivery Units pursuant to Rule 144, without any further requirement for the delivery of any certificate, consent, agreement, opinion of counsel, notice or any other document, any transfer tax stamps or payment of any other amount or any other action by Dealer or such affiliate. Counterparty further agrees and acknowledges that Dealer (or its affiliate) shall run a holding period under Rule 144 from the Premium Payment Date with respect to the Warrants and/or any Shares or Termination Delivery Units delivered hereunder notwithstanding the existence of any other transaction or transactions between Counterparty and Dealer relating to the Shares. Counterparty further agrees that Shares or Termination Delivery Units delivered hereunder prior to the date that is 6 months from the Premium Payment Date may be freely transferred among Dealer and its affiliates, and Counterparty shall effect such transfer without any further action by Dealer or its affiliates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Counterparty agrees that any delivery of Shares or Termination Delivery Units shall be effected by book-entry transfer through the facilities of the Clearance System if, at the time of such delivery, the certificates representing such Shares or Termination Delivery Units would not contain any restrictive legend as described above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent the provisions of Rule 144 or any successor rule are amended, or the applicable interpretation thereof by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any court changes after the Trade Date, the agreements of Counterparty herein shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary, in the opinion of outside counsel of Counterparty, to comply with Rule 144, including Rule 144(b) or any successor provision, as in effect at the time of delivery of the relevant Shares or Termination Delivery Units.
No Material Non-Public Information. Counterparty represents and warrants to Dealer that it is not aware of any material nonpublic information concerning itself, the Shares or option contracts related to the Shares.
Limit on Beneficial Ownership. Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, Dealer may not exercise any Warrant hereunder, Automatic Exercise shall not apply with respect thereto, and no delivery hereunder (including pursuant to provisions opposite the headings Alternative Calculations and Counterparty Payments on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events, Registration/Private Placement Procedures, Limitation on Delivery of Shares or Annex A) shall be made, to the extent (but only to the extent) that the receipt of any Shares upon such exercise or delivery (after taking into account any Shares deliverable pursuant to the Confirmation re: Base Warrant Transaction dated May 10, 2012 between Dealer and Counterparty (the Base Warrant Confirmation)) would result in the existence of an Excess Ownership Position as set forth in clause (1) or (3) of the definition thereof. Any purported delivery hereunder shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that such delivery would result in the existence of such an Excess Ownership Position. If any delivery owed to Dealer or exercise hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, Counterpartys obligation to make such delivery and Dealers right to exercise a Warrant shall not be extinguished and Counterparty shall make such delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than one Clearance System Business Day after, Dealer gives notice to Counterparty that such exercise or delivery would not result in the existence of such an Excess Ownership Position.
15
Repurchase Notices. Counterparty shall, on any day on which Counterparty effects any repurchase of Shares, provide Dealer with a written notice of such repurchase (a Repurchase Notice) on such day if, following such repurchase, the Warrant Equity Percentage (as defined below) is greater by 0.5% or more than the Warrant Equity Percentage set forth in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice (or, in the case of the first such Repurchase Notice, greater by 0.5% or more than the Warrant Equity Percentage as of the date hereof). The Warrant Equity Percentage as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, of (1) the numerator of which is the sum of (A) the product of the Number of Warrants and the Warrant Entitlement and (B) the number of Shares underlying any other warrant transaction between Counterparty as seller and Dealer as buyer and (2) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day. Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Dealer and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, advisors, agents and controlling person (each, an Indemnified Person) from and against any and all losses (including losses relating to Dealers hedging activities as a consequence of becoming an insider as defined under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, including without limitation, any forbearance from hedging activities or cessation of hedging activities and any losses in connection therewith with respect to this Transaction), claims, damages, judgments, liabilities and reasonable expense (including reasonable attorneys fees), joint or several, which an Indemnified Person actually may become subject to, as a result of Counterpartys failure to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified herein, and to reimburse, upon written request, each of such Indemnified Persons for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing for, providing testimony or other evidence in connection with or defending any of the foregoing. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against the Indemnified Person, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify 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 reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. Counterparty shall be relieved from liability to the extent that the Indemnified Person fails promptly to notify Counterparty of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder; provided that failure to notify Counterparty (x) shall not relieve Counterparty from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and (y) shall not, in any event, relieve Counterparty from any liability that it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. Counterparty shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, 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 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, 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 that may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this paragraph shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of the Transaction.
Limitation On Delivery of Shares. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Counterparty be required at any time to deliver any Shares hereunder to the extent that the number of Shares otherwise deliverable would exceed (i) prior to receipt of the Required NYSE Stockholder Approval, 6,861,831 Shares less the total number of Shares previously delivered hereunder or under any warrant transaction that (x) is entered into by Dealer and Counterparty within 30 days of the date hereof and (y) except with respect to the number of warrants and the premium, is substantially similar hereto (any such transaction, an Other Warrant Transaction) or (ii) following receipt of the Required NYSE Stockholder Approval, two times the
16
Number of Shares (the Maximum Delivery Amount). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, this Confirmation or the Equity Definitions, in no event shall the Maximum Delivery Amount be subject to adjustment, other than any adjustment that (a) prior to receipt of the Required NYSE Stockholder Approval, is made pursuant to Article 11 or 12 of the Equity Definitions (without any amendment thereto pursuant to the terms of this Confirmation), and (b) to the extent that such adjustment would cause the Maximum Delivery Amount to exceed the number of Available Shares, results from actions of Counterparty or events within Counterpartys control. Counterparty represents and warrants (which shall be deemed to be repeated on each day that the Transaction is outstanding) that the Maximum Delivery Amount is equal to or less than the number of authorized but unissued Shares of Counterparty that are not reserved for future issuance in connection with transactions in the Shares other than the Transaction and, prior to receipt of the Required NYSE Stockholder Approval, any Other Warrant Transaction (such Shares, the Available Shares). In the event that, notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Counterparty shall not have delivered the full number of Shares otherwise deliverable hereunder because Counterparty has insufficient authorized but unissued Shares that are not reserved for future issuance under transactions other than the Transaction and, prior to receipt of the Required NYSE Stockholder Approval, any Other Warrant Transaction (the resulting deficit, the Deficit Shares), Counterparty shall be continually obligated to deliver, from time to time until the full number of Deficit Shares have been delivered pursuant to this paragraph, Shares when, and to the extent, that (A) Shares are repurchased, acquired or otherwise received by Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries after the Trade Date (whether or not in exchange for cash, fair value or any other consideration), (B) authorized and unissued Shares previously reserved for issuance in respect of other transactions become no longer so reserved and (C) Counterparty additionally authorizes any unissued Shares that are not reserved for such other transactions. Counterparty shall reasonably promptly notify Dealer of the occurrence of any of the foregoing events (including the number of Shares subject to clause (A), (B) or (C) and the corresponding number of Shares to be delivered) and promptly deliver such Shares thereafter. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5 of the Agreement, in the event of a failure by Counterparty to comply with the agreement set forth in this provision, there shall be no grace period for remedy of such failure.
Additional Termination Event. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an Additional Termination Event with respect to which (1) Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party and (2) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction; provided that with respect to any Additional Termination Event, Dealer may choose to treat part of the Transaction as the sole Affected Transaction, and, upon termination of the Affected Transaction, a Transaction with terms identical to those set forth herein except with a Number of Warrants equal to the unaffected number of Warrants shall be treated for all purposes as the Transaction, which shall remain in full force and effect:
(i) Dealer reasonably determines, based on advice of counsel, that it is advisable to terminate a portion of the Transaction so that Dealers related hedging activities will comply with applicable securities laws, rules or regulations;
(ii) any person or group within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, other than Counterparty, its subsidiaries and its and their employee benefit plans, files a Schedule TO or any schedule, form or report under the Exchange Act disclosing that such person or group has become the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of Counterpartys common equity representing more than 50% of the voting power of its common equity;
(iii) the consummation of (A) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Shares (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination) as a result of which the Shares would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets; (B) any share exchange, consolidation or merger of Counterparty pursuant to which the Shares will be converted into cash, securities or other property, other than a merger of Counterparty solely for the purpose of changing its jurisdiction of incorporation that results in a reclassification, conversion or exchange of outstanding Shares solely into shares of common stock of the surviving entity; or (C) any sale, lease or other transfer in one transaction or a series of transactions of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of Counterparty and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any person other than one of its subsidiaries; or
17
(iv) (A) at any time the price per Share on the Exchange (as determined by the Calculation Agent) is at or above USD 500.00 (subject to adjustment as provided in this Confirmation and the Equity Definitions, except that, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to a Potential Adjustment Event, any such adjustment may become effective as of the announcement of the relevant Potential Adjustment Event), unless Counterparty has received approval from its stockholders in accordance with the requirements of Rule 312.03(c) of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual (or any successor thereto) for (x) the issuance pursuant to the Transaction of a number of Shares up to two times the Number of Shares and (y) the issuance pursuant to any Other Warrant Transaction of a number of Shares up to two times the Number of Shares, as defined in the confirmation therefor (such approval, the Required NYSE Stockholder Approval) and (B) Dealer reasonably believes that, if Counterparty were to validly elect to deliver Termination Delivery Units in respect of any Counterparty Payment Obligation upon the occurrence at such time of any event described in Alternative Calculations and Counterparty Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events, such Termination Delivery Units would constitute Restricted Shares.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, transactions described in clause (ii) or (iii) above shall not constitute Additional Termination Events under such clause if (a) at least 90% of the consideration paid for the Shares (excluding cash payments for fractional shares and cash payments made pursuant to dissenters appraisal rights and cash dividends) in a transaction otherwise constituting an Additional Termination Event under clause (ii) or (iii) above consists of shares of common stock traded or quoted on The New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market or The NASDAQ Global Market (or any of their respective successors), or will be so traded or quoted immediately following the completion of such transaction and (b) as a result of the completion of such transaction, the Shares are composed of such consideration.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Equity Definitions or the Agreement, any Counterparty Payment Obligation shall, for all purposes, be calculated without regard to the provisions set forth under Limitation on Delivery of Shares above; provided that the number of Shares deliverable pursuant to the provisions set forth under Alternative Calculations and Counterparty Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events above (if applicable) shall not exceed the applicable Maximum Delivery Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions set forth above under Alternative Calculations and Counterparty Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events, including and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein and above, shall apply to any Counterparty Payment Obligation amount resulting from such Additional Termination Events.
Right to Extend. Dealer may postpone any Exercise Date or Settlement Date or any other date of valuation or delivery with respect to some or all of the relevant Warrants (in which event the Calculation Agent shall make appropriate adjustments to the Net Share Amount with respect to one or more Components), if Dealer determines, in its commercially reasonable discretion (in the case of the immediately following clause (i)) or in its reasonable discretion based on advice of counsel (in the case of the immediately following clause (ii)), that such extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate to (i) preserve Dealers (or its affiliates) hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions in the cash market, the stock loan market or any other relevant market (but only if there is a material decrease in liquidity relative to Dealers expectations on the Trade Date) or (ii) to enable Dealer (or its affiliate) to effect purchases of Shares in connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if Dealer (or such affiliate) were Counterparty or an affiliate of Counterparty, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer (or such affiliate).
Transfer or Assignment. Counterparty may not transfer any of its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Dealer. Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement to the contrary, Dealer may, subject to applicable law, freely transfer and assign all of its rights and obligations under the Transaction without the consent of Counterparty.

If(a) at any time (1) the Section 16 Equity Percentage exceeds 8%, (2) the Warrant Equity Percentage exceeds 14.5% or (3) Dealer, Dealer Group (as defined below) or any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Dealer or Dealer Group (Dealer, Dealer Group or any such person, a Dealer Person) under any federal, state or local (including non-U.S.) laws, rules, regulations or regulatory orders or organizational documents or contracts of Counterparty that are, in each case, applicable to ownership of Shares (Applicable Restrictions), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership, or could be reasonably viewed as meeting any of the foregoing, in excess of a number of Shares equal to (x) the number of Shares that would give rise to reporting, registration, filing or notification obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval by a state, federal or non-U.S. regulator) of a Dealer Person (except for filings of Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G under the Exchange Act or any other filing obligations applicable as of the date hereof), or could result in an adverse effect on a Dealer Person, under Applicable Restrictions, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion, and with respect to which such requirements have not been met or the relevant approval has not been received minus (y) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding on the date of determination (either such condition described in clause (1), (2) or (3), an Excess Ownership Position), and (b) Dealer is unable, after commercially reasonable efforts, to effect a transfer or assignment on pricing and terms and within a time period reasonably acceptable to it of all or a portion of this Transaction pursuant to the preceding paragraph such that an Excess Ownership Position no longer exists, Dealer may designate any Scheduled Trading Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion (the Terminated Portion) of this Transaction, such that an Excess Ownership Position no longer exists following such partial termination. In the event that Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of this Transaction, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (i) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to this Transaction and a Number of Warrants equal to the Terminated Portion (allocated among the Components thereof in the discretion of Dealer), (ii) Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (iii) such Transaction shall be the only Terminated Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions set forth under the caption Alternative Calculations and Counterparty Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events shall apply to any amount that is payable by Counterparty to Dealer pursuant to this sentence). The Section 16 Equity Percentage as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Dealer and any of its affiliates subject to aggregation with Dealer 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 Dealer (collectively, Dealer Group) beneficially own (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act) without duplication on such day (or, to the extent that the equivalent calculation under Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder results in a higher number, such number) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day.
Designation by Dealer. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to or from Counterparty, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities and otherwise to perform Dealers obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such performance.
Amendments to Equity Definitions. (a) Section 12.9(b)(iv) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by: (i) deleting (1) subsection (A) in its entirety, (2) the phrase or (B) following subsection (A) and (3) the phrase in each case in subsection (B); (ii) replacing will lend with lends in subsection (B); and (iii) replacing the phrase neither the Non-Hedging Party nor the Lending Party lends Shares with the phrase such Lending Party does not lend Shares in the penultimate sentence; and (b) Section 12.9(b)(v) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by: (i) adding the word or immediately before subsection (B) and deleting the comma at the end of subsection (A); (ii) (1) deleting subsection (C) in its entirety, (2) deleting the word or immediately preceding subsection (C) and (3) deleting the penultimate sentence in its entirety and replacing it with the sentence The Hedging Party will determine the Cancellation Amount payable by one party to the other; and (iii) deleting subsection (X) in its entirety and the words or (Y) immediately following subsection (X).
Matters Related to Agent. Each party agrees and acknowledges that (i) Agent acts solely as agent on a disclosed basis with respect to the Transaction, and (ii) Agent has no obligation, by guaranty, endorsement or otherwise with respect to the obligations of either Counterparty or Dealer hereunder, either with respect to the delivery of cash or Shares, either at the beginning or the end of the Transaction. In this regard, each of Counterparty and Dealer acknowledges and agrees to look solely to the other for performance hereunder, and not to Agent.
19
Severability; Illegality. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, if compliance by either party with any provision of the Transaction would be unenforceable or illegal, (a) the parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such unenforceability or illegality in a manner that preserves the economic benefits of the transactions contemplated hereby and (b) the other provisions of the Transaction shall not be invalidated, but shall remain in full force and effect.
Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THE TRANSACTION.

Agreements and Acknowledgements Regarding Hedging. Counterparty understands, acknowledges and agrees that: (A) at any time on and prior to the Expiration Date, Dealer and its affiliates may buy or sell Shares or other securities or buy or sell options or futures contracts or enter into swaps or other derivative securities in order to adjust its hedge position with respect to the Transaction; (B) Dealer and its affiliates also may be active in the market for Shares other than in connection with hedging activities in relation to the Transaction; (C) Dealer shall make its own determination as to whether, when or in what manner any hedging or market activities in securities of Counterparty shall be conducted and shall do so in a manner that it deems appropriate to hedge its price and market risk with respect to the Relevant Prices; and (D) any market activities of Dealer and its affiliates with respect to Shares may affect the market price and volatility of Shares, as well as the Relevant Prices, each in a manner that may be adverse to Counterparty.
Early Unwind. In the event the sale of the Additional Securities (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement) is not consummated with the underwriters thereof for any reason, other than in cases involving breach of the Underwriting Agreement by Dealer or its affiliate, by the close of business in New York on May 23, 2012 (or such later date as agreed upon by the parties) (May 23, 2012 or such later date as agreed upon being the Early Unwind Date), the Transaction shall automatically terminate (the Early Unwind) on the Early Unwind Date and (a) the Transaction and all of the respective rights and obligations of Dealer and Counterparty under the Transaction shall be cancelled and terminated and (b) each party shall be released and discharged by the other party from and agrees not to make any claim against the other party with respect to any obligations or liabilities of the other party arising out of and to be performed in connection with the Transaction either prior to or after the Early Unwind Date. Dealer and Counterparty represent and acknowledge to the other that, upon an Early Unwind, all obligations with respect to the Transaction shall be deemed fully and finally discharged.

ANNEX A
Registration Settlement and Private Placement Settlement
(i) | If Counterparty elects to settle the Transaction pursuant to this clause (i) (a Private Placement Settlement), then delivery of Restricted Shares by Counterparty shall be effected in customary private placement procedures for private placements of equity securities of similar size with respect to such Restricted Shares reasonably acceptable to Dealer; provided that Counterparty may not elect a Private Placement Settlement if, on the date of its election, it has taken, or caused to be taken, any action that would make unavailable either the exemption pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for the sale by Counterparty to Dealer (or any affiliate designated by Dealer) of the Restricted Shares or the exemption pursuant to Section 4(1) or Section 4(3) of the Securities Act for resales of the Restricted Shares by Dealer (or any such affiliate of Dealer). Dealer or its affiliate and Counterparty shall enter into a private placement agreement that is customary in form and substance for private placements of equity securities of similar size in connection with any Private Placement Settlement (including the resale of the Restricted Shares and any Make-Whole Shares by Dealer or its affiliate), which agreement shall include, without limitation, customary representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to Dealer and its affiliates, due diligence rights (for Dealer or its affiliate or any potential buyer of the Restricted Shares or Make-Whole Shares, as the case may be, designated by Dealer or its affiliate), opinions and certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for private placement agreements for private placements of equity securities of similar size, all reasonably acceptable to Dealer or its affiliate. |
(ii) | If Counterparty elects to settle the Transaction pursuant to this clause (ii) (a Registration Settlement), then Counterparty shall promptly (but in any event no later than the beginning of the Resale Period) file and use its reasonable best efforts to make effective under the Securities Act a registration statement or supplement or amend an outstanding registration statement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Dealer, to cover the resale of such Restricted Shares (and any Make-whole Shares) in accordance with customary resale registration procedures for offerings of equity securities of similar size, including entry by Dealer or its affiliate and Counterparty into an underwriting agreement that is customary in form and substance for registered secondary equity offerings of similar size, including, without limitation, covenants, conditions, representations, underwriting discounts (if applicable), commissions (if applicable), indemnities, due diligence rights (for Dealer, its affiliate or any potential buyer of the Restricted Shares or Make-whole Shares, as the case may be, designated by Dealer or its affiliate), opinions and certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for equity resale underwriting agreements for offerings of similar size, all reasonably acceptable to Dealer or its affiliate. If Dealer or its affiliate, in its sole discretion, is not satisfied with such procedures and documentation, Private Placement Settlement shall apply. If Dealer or its affiliate is satisfied with such procedures and documentation, it shall sell the Restricted Shares (or any Make-whole Shares) pursuant to such registration statement during a period (the Resale Period) commencing on the Exchange Business Day following delivery of such Restricted Shares (or any Make-whole Shares) and ending on the earliest of (i) the Exchange Business Day on which Dealer or its affiliate completes the sale of all Restricted Shares or, in the case of settlement of Termination Delivery Units, a sufficient number of Restricted Shares so that the realized net proceeds of such sales exceed the Counterparty Payment Obligation and (ii) the date upon which all Restricted Shares (and any Make-whole Shares) may be sold or transferred by a non-affiliate pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in force) without any further restriction whatsoever. |
(iii) | If (ii) above is applicable and the Net Share Settlement Amount or the Counterparty Payment Obligation, as applicable, exceeds the realized net proceeds from such resale, or if (i) above is applicable and the Freely Tradeable Value (as defined below) of the Shares owed pursuant to the Net Share Settlement Amount, or the Counterparty Payment Obligation (in each case as adjusted pursuant to (i) above), as applicable, exceeds the realized net proceeds from such resale, Counterparty shall transfer to Dealer or its affiliate by the open of the regular trading session on the Exchange on the third Exchange Business Day immediately following the last day of the Resale Period the amount of such excess (the Additional Amount), at its option, either in cash or in a number of Restricted Shares |
A-1
(Make-whole Shares, provided that the aggregate number of Restricted Shares and Make-whole Shares delivered shall not exceed the Maximum Delivery Amount) that, based on the Relevant Price on the last day of the Resale Period (as if such day was the Valuation Date for purposes of computing such Relevant Price), has a value equal to the Additional Amount. If Counterparty elects to pay the Additional Amount in Make-whole Shares, Counterparty shall elect whether the requirements and provisions for either Private Placement Settlement or Registration Settlement shall apply to such payment. This provision shall be applied successively until the Additional Amount is equal to zero, subject to Limitation on Delivery of Shares. Freely Tradeable Value means the value of the number of Shares delivered to Dealer or its affiliate which such Shares would have if they were freely tradeable (without prospectus delivery) upon receipt by Dealer or its affiliate, as determined by the Calculation Agent by reference to the Relevant Price for freely tradeable Shares as of the Valuation Date, or other date of valuation used in a commercially reasonable manner to determine the delivery obligation with respect to such Shares, or by other commercially reasonable means. |

On a date determined by the Calculation Agent that is within a commercially reasonable period of time following receipt of a Notice of Counterparty Termination Delivery or a notice from Dealer requiring Counterparty to satisfy its Counterparty Payment Obligation by delivery of Termination Delivery Units, as the case may be, Counterparty shall deliver to Dealer a number of Termination Delivery Units having a cash value equal to the amount of such Counterparty Payment Obligation (as determined by the Calculation Agent in a commercially reasonable manner), subject to the provisions set forth opposite the caption Registration/Private Placement Procedures below. If the provisions set forth in this paragraph are applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.11 (modified as described above) and 9.12 of the Equity Definitions shall be applicable, except that all references to Shares shall be read as references to Termination Delivery Units.

Termination Delivery Unit means one Share or, if the Shares have changed into cash or any other property or the right to receive cash or any other property as the result of an Insolvency, Nationalization, Merger Event or Tender Offer, a unit consisting of the number or amount of each type of property received by a holder of one Share (without consideration of any requirement to pay cash or other consideration in lieu of fractional amounts of any securities) in such Insolvency, Nationalization, Merger Event or Tender Offer. If such Insolvency, Nationalization, Merger Event or Tender Offer involves a choice of consideration to be received by holders, the Calculation Agent shall determine the composition of such consideration in its commercially reasonable discretion.
Registration/Private Placement Procedures. If, in the reasonable opinion of Dealer based on advice of counsel, any Shares or Termination Delivery Units deliverable to Dealer hereunder, for any reason, would be in the hands of Dealer subject to any applicable restrictions on transfer (including, without limitation, any registration or qualification requirement or prospectus delivery requirement for such Shares or Termination Delivery Units) pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities law or otherwise (including, without limitation, any such requirement arising under Section 5 of the Securities Act as a result of such Shares or Termination Delivery Units being restricted securities, as such term is defined in Rule 144) (such Shares or Termination Delivery Units, Restricted Shares), then delivery of such Restricted Shares shall be effected pursuant to either clause (i) or (ii) of Annex A hereto at the election of Counterparty, unless the requirements of such clauses (i) and (ii) are waived by Dealer with respect to such delivery. Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely in respect of any Warrants exercised or deemed exercised on any Exercise Date, Counterparty shall elect, prior to the first Settlement Date for the first Exercise Date (or, if later, prior to the third Scheduled Trading Day following the date of notification by Dealer of the need for such settlement procedures), a Private Placement Settlement of similar size (as defined in Annex A hereto) or Registration Settlement (as defined in Annex A hereto) for all deliveries of Restricted Shares for all such Exercise Dates which election shall be applicable to all Settlement Dates for such Warrants and the procedures in clause (i) or clause (ii) of Annex A hereto shall apply for all such delivered Restricted Shares on an aggregate basis commencing after the final Settlement Date for such Warrants. The Calculation Agent shall make reasonable adjustments to settlement terms and provisions under this Confirmation to reflect a single Private Placement Settlement or Registration Settlement for such aggregate Restricted Shares delivered hereunder. If the Private Placement Settlement or the Registration Settlement shall not be effected as set forth in clauses (i) or (ii) of Annex A, as applicable, then failure to effect such Private Placement Settlement or such Registration Settlement shall constitute an Event of Default with respect to which Counterparty shall be the Defaulting Party.
Share Deliveries. Counterparty acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent that Dealer (or its affiliate) is not then an affiliate, as such term is used in Rule 144, of Counterparty and has not been such an affiliate of Counterparty for 90 days (it being understood that Dealer or its affiliate shall not be considered such an affiliate of Counterparty solely by reason of its right to receive Shares pursuant to a Transaction hereunder), any Shares or Termination Delivery Units delivered hereunder either prior to or after the first anniversary of the Premium Payment Date shall be eligible for resale under Rule 144 or any successor provision at all times following such first anniversary, and Counterparty agrees that any Shares or Termination Delivery Units delivered after such first anniversary shall not bear any legends restricting, or referring to restrictions on, the resale of such securities, and, with respect to any Shares or Termination Delivery Units delivered prior to such first anniversary, on such first anniversary Counterparty shall remove, or cause the transfer agent for such Shares or Termination Delivery Units to remove, any legends referring to any restrictions on resale under the Securities Act from the certificates representing such Shares or Termination Delivery Units, without any requirement for the delivery of any certificate, consent, agreement, opinion of counsel, notice or any other document, any transfer tax stamps or payment of any other amount or any other action by
14
Dealer or such affiliate. Counterparty further agrees that with respect to any Shares or Termination Delivery Units delivered hereunder at any time after 6 months from the Premium Payment Date but prior to 1 year from the Premium Payment Date, to the extent that Counterparty then satisfies the current information requirement of Rule 144, Counterparty shall promptly remove, or cause the transfer agent for such Shares or Termination Delivery Units to remove, any legends referring to any such restrictions or requirements from the certificates representing such Share or Termination Delivery Units upon delivery by Dealer or its affiliate to Counterparty or such transfer agent of any customary sellers and brokers representation letters in connection with resales of such Shares or Termination Delivery Units pursuant to Rule 144, without any further requirement for the delivery of any certificate, consent, agreement, opinion of counsel, notice or any other document, any transfer tax stamps or payment of any other amount or any other action by Dealer or such affiliate. Counterparty further agrees and acknowledges that Dealer (or its affiliate) shall run a holding period under Rule 144 from the Premium Payment Date with respect to the Warrants and/or any Shares or Termination Delivery Units delivered hereunder notwithstanding the existence of any other transaction or transactions between Counterparty and Dealer relating to the Shares. Counterparty further agrees that Shares or Termination Delivery Units delivered hereunder prior to the date that is 6 months from the Premium Payment Date may be freely transferred among Dealer and its affiliates, and Counterparty shall effect such transfer without any further action by Dealer or its affiliates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Counterparty agrees that any delivery of Shares or Termination Delivery Units shall be effected by book-entry transfer through the facilities of the Clearance System if, at the time of such delivery, the certificates representing such Shares or Termination Delivery Units would not contain any restrictive legend as described above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent the provisions of Rule 144 or any successor rule are amended, or the applicable interpretation thereof by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any court changes after the Trade Date, the agreements of Counterparty herein shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary, in the opinion of outside counsel of Counterparty, to comply with Rule 144, including Rule 144(b) or any successor provision, as in effect at the time of delivery of the relevant Shares or Termination Delivery Units.
No Material Non-Public Information. Counterparty represents and warrants to Dealer that it is not aware of any material nonpublic information concerning itself, the Shares or option contracts related to the Shares.
Limit on Beneficial Ownership. Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, Dealer may not exercise any Warrant hereunder, Automatic Exercise shall not apply with respect thereto, and no delivery hereunder (including pursuant to provisions opposite the headings Alternative Calculations and Counterparty Payments on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events, Registration/Private Placement Procedures, Limitation on Delivery of Shares or Annex A) shall be made, to the extent (but only to the extent) that the receipt of any Shares upon such exercise or delivery (after taking into account any Shares deliverable pursuant to the Confirmation re: Base Warrant Transaction dated May 10, 2012 between Dealer and Counterparty (the Base Warrant Confirmation)) would result in the existence of an Excess Ownership Position as set forth in clause (1) or (3) of the definition thereof. Any purported delivery hereunder shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that such delivery would result in the existence of such an Excess Ownership Position. If any delivery owed to Dealer or exercise hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, Counterpartys obligation to make such delivery and Dealers right to exercise a Warrant shall not be extinguished and Counterparty shall make such delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than one Clearance System Business Day after, Dealer gives notice to Counterparty that such exercise or delivery would not result in the existence of such an Excess Ownership Position.
Repurchase Notices. Counterparty shall, on any day on which Counterparty effects any repurchase of Shares, provide Dealer with a written notice of such repurchase (a Repurchase Notice) on such day if, following such repurchase, the Warrant Equity Percentage (as defined below) is greater by 0.5% or more than the Warrant Equity Percentage set forth in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice (or, in the case of the first such Repurchase Notice, greater by 0.5% or more than the Warrant Equity Percentage as of the date hereof). The Warrant Equity Percentage as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, of (1) the numerator of which is the sum of (A) the product of the Number of Warrants and the Warrant Entitlement and (B) the number of Shares underlying any other warrant transaction between Counterparty as seller and Dealer as buyer and (2) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day. Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Dealer and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, advisors, agents and controlling person (each, an Indemnified Person) from and against any and all losses (including losses relating to Dealers hedging activities as a consequence of becoming an insider as defined under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, including without limitation, any forbearance from hedging activities or cessation of hedging activities and any losses in connection therewith with respect to this Transaction), claims, damages, judgments, liabilities and reasonable expense (including reasonable attorneys fees), joint or several, which an Indemnified Person actually may become subject to, as a result of Counterpartys failure to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified herein, and to reimburse, 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
15
suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against the Indemnified Person, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify 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 reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. Counterparty shall be relieved from liability to the extent that the Indemnified Person fails promptly to notify Counterparty of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder; provided that failure to notify Counterparty (x) shall not relieve Counterparty from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and (y) shall not, in any event, relieve Counterparty from any liability that it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. Counterparty shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, 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 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, 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 that may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this paragraph shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of the Transaction.
Limitation On Delivery of Shares. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Counterparty be required at any time to deliver any Shares hereunder to the extent that the number of Shares otherwise deliverable would exceed (i) prior to receipt of the Required NYSE Stockholder Approval, 4,574,554 Shares less the total number of Shares previously delivered hereunder or under any warrant transaction that (x) is entered into by Dealer and Counterparty within 30 days of the date hereof and (y) except with respect to the number of warrants and the premium, is substantially similar hereto (any such transaction, an Other Warrant Transaction) or (ii) following receipt of the Required NYSE Stockholder Approval, two times the Number of Shares (the Maximum Delivery Amount). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, this Confirmation or the Equity Definitions, in no event shall the Maximum Delivery Amount be subject to adjustment, other than any adjustment that (a) prior to receipt of the Required NYSE Stockholder Approval, is made pursuant to Article 11 or 12 of the Equity Definitions (without any amendment thereto pursuant to the terms of this Confirmation), and (b) to the extent that such adjustment would cause the Maximum Delivery Amount to exceed the number of Available Shares, results from actions of Counterparty or events within Counterpartys control. Counterparty represents and warrants (which shall be deemed to be repeated on each day that the Transaction is outstanding) that the Maximum Delivery Amount is equal to or less than the number of authorized but unissued Shares of Counterparty that are not reserved for future issuance in connection with transactions in the Shares other than the Transaction and, prior to receipt of the Required NYSE Stockholder Approval, any Other Warrant Transaction (such Shares, the Available Shares). In the event that, notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Counterparty shall not have delivered the full number of Shares otherwise deliverable hereunder because Counterparty has insufficient authorized but unissued Shares that are not reserved for future issuance under transactions other than the Transaction and, prior to receipt of the Required NYSE Stockholder Approval, any Other Warrant Transaction (the resulting deficit, the Deficit Shares), Counterparty shall be continually obligated to deliver, from time to time until the full number of Deficit Shares have been delivered pursuant to this paragraph, Shares when, and to the extent, that (A) Shares are repurchased, acquired or otherwise received by Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries after the Trade Date (whether or not in exchange for cash, fair value or any other consideration), (B) authorized and unissued Shares previously reserved for issuance in respect of other transactions become no longer so reserved and (C) Counterparty additionally authorizes any unissued Shares that are not reserved for such other transactions. Counterparty shall reasonably promptly notify Dealer of the occurrence of any of the foregoing events (including the number of Shares subject to clause (A), (B) or (C) and the corresponding number of Shares to be delivered) and promptly deliver such Shares thereafter. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5 of the Agreement, in the event of a failure by Counterparty to comply with the agreement set forth in this provision, there shall be no grace period for remedy of such failure.
16
Additional Termination Event. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an Additional Termination Event with respect to which (1) Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party and (2) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction; provided that with respect to any Additional Termination Event, Dealer may choose to treat part of the Transaction as the sole Affected Transaction, and, upon termination of the Affected Transaction, a Transaction with terms identical to those set forth herein except with a Number of Warrants equal to the unaffected number of Warrants shall be treated for all purposes as the Transaction, which shall remain in full force and effect:
(i) Dealer reasonably determines, based on advice of counsel, that it is advisable to terminate a portion of the Transaction so that Dealers related hedging activities will comply with applicable securities laws, rules or regulations;
(ii) any person or group within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, other than Counterparty, its subsidiaries and its and their employee benefit plans, files a Schedule TO or any schedule, form or report under the Exchange Act disclosing that such person or group has become the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of Counterpartys common equity representing more than 50% of the voting power of its common equity;
(iii) the consummation of (A) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Shares (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination) as a result of which the Shares would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets; (B) any share exchange, consolidation or merger of Counterparty pursuant to which the Shares will be converted into cash, securities or other property, other than a merger of Counterparty solely for the purpose of changing its jurisdiction of incorporation that results in a reclassification, conversion or exchange of outstanding Shares solely into shares of common stock of the surviving entity; or (C) any sale, lease or other transfer in one transaction or a series of transactions of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of Counterparty and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any person other than one of its subsidiaries; or
(iv) (A) at any time the price per Share on the Exchange (as determined by the Calculation Agent) is at or above USD 500.00 (subject to adjustment as provided in this Confirmation and the Equity Definitions, except that, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to a Potential Adjustment Event, any such adjustment may become effective as of the announcement of the relevant Potential Adjustment Event), unless Counterparty has received approval from its stockholders in accordance with the requirements of Rule 312.03(c) of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual (or any successor thereto) for (x) the issuance pursuant to the Transaction of a number of Shares up to two times the Number of Shares and (y) the issuance pursuant to any Other Warrant Transaction of a number of Shares up to two times the Number of Shares, as defined in the confirmation therefor (such approval, the Required NYSE Stockholder Approval) and (B) Dealer reasonably believes that, if Counterparty were to validly elect to deliver Termination Delivery Units in respect of any Counterparty Payment Obligation upon the occurrence at such time of any event described in Alternative Calculations and Counterparty Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events, such Termination Delivery Units would constitute Restricted Shares.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, transactions described in clause (ii) or (iii) above shall not constitute Additional Termination Events under such clause if (a) at least 90% of the consideration paid for the Shares (excluding cash payments for fractional shares and cash payments made pursuant to dissenters appraisal rights and cash dividends) in a transaction otherwise constituting an Additional Termination Event under clause (ii) or (iii) above consists of shares of common stock traded or quoted on The New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market or The NASDAQ Global Market (or any of their respective successors), or will be so traded or quoted immediately following the completion of such transaction and (b) as a result of the completion of such transaction, the Shares are composed of such consideration.
17
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Equity Definitions or the Agreement, any Counterparty Payment Obligation shall, for all purposes, be calculated without regard to the provisions set forth under Limitation on Delivery of Shares above; provided that the number of Shares deliverable pursuant to the provisions set forth under Alternative Calculations and Counterparty Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events above (if applicable) shall not exceed the applicable Maximum Delivery Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions set forth above under Alternative Calculations and Counterparty Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events, including and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein and above, shall apply to any Counterparty Payment Obligation amount resulting from such Additional Termination Events.
Right to Extend. Dealer may postpone any Exercise Date or Settlement Date or any other date of valuation or delivery with respect to some or all of the relevant Warrants (in which event the Calculation Agent shall make appropriate adjustments to the Net Share Amount with respect to one or more Components), if Dealer determines, in its commercially reasonable discretion (in the case of the immediately following clause (i)) or in its reasonable discretion based on advice of counsel (in the case of the immediately following clause (ii)), that such extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate to (i) preserve Dealers (or its affiliates) hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions in the cash market, the stock loan market or any other relevant market (but only if there is a material decrease in liquidity relative to Dealers expectations on the Trade Date) or (ii) to enable Dealer (or its affiliate) to effect purchases of Shares in connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if Dealer (or such affiliate) were Counterparty or an affiliate of Counterparty, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer (or such affiliate).
Transfer or Assignment. Counterparty may not transfer any of its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Dealer. Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement to the contrary, Dealer may, subject to applicable law, freely transfer and assign all of its rights and obligations under the Transaction without the consent of Counterparty.
If(a) at any time (1) the Section 16 Equity Percentage exceeds 8%, (2) the Warrant Equity Percentage exceeds 14.5% or (3) Dealer, Dealer Group (as defined below) or any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Dealer or Dealer Group (Dealer, Dealer Group or any such person, a Dealer Person) under any federal, state or local (including non-U.S.) laws, rules, regulations or regulatory orders or organizational documents or contracts of Counterparty that are, in each case, applicable to ownership of Shares (Applicable Restrictions), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership, or could be reasonably viewed as meeting any of the foregoing, in excess of a number of Shares equal to (x) the number of Shares that would give rise to reporting, registration, filing or notification obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval by a state, federal or non-U.S. regulator) of a Dealer Person (except for filings of Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G under the Exchange Act or any other filing obligations applicable as of the date hereof), or could result in an adverse effect on a Dealer Person, under Applicable Restrictions, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion, and with respect to which such requirements have not been met or the relevant approval has not been received minus (y) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding on the date of determination (either such condition described in clause (1), (2) or (3), an Excess Ownership Position), and (b) Dealer is unable, after commercially reasonable efforts, to effect a transfer or assignment on pricing and terms and within a time period reasonably acceptable to it of all or a portion of this Transaction pursuant to the preceding paragraph such that an Excess Ownership Position no longer exists, Dealer may designate any Scheduled Trading Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion (the Terminated Portion) of this Transaction, such that an Excess Ownership Position no longer exists following such partial termination. In the event that Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of this Transaction, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (i) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to this Transaction and a Number of Warrants equal to the Terminated Portion (allocated among the Components thereof in the discretion of Dealer), (ii) Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (iii) such
18
Transaction shall be the only Terminated Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions set forth under the caption Alternative Calculations and Counterparty Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events shall apply to any amount that is payable by Counterparty to Dealer pursuant to this sentence). The Section 16 Equity Percentage as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Dealer and any of its affiliates subject to aggregation with Dealer 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 Dealer (collectively, Dealer Group) beneficially own (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act) without duplication on such day (or, to the extent that the equivalent calculation under Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder results in a higher number, such number) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day.
Designation by Dealer. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to or from Counterparty, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities and otherwise to perform Dealers obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such performance.
Amendments to Equity Definitions. (a) Section 12.9(b)(iv) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by: (i) deleting (1) subsection (A) in its entirety, (2) the phrase or (B) following subsection (A) and (3) the phrase in each case in subsection (B); (ii) replacing will lend with lends in subsection (B); and (iii) replacing the phrase neither the Non-Hedging Party nor the Lending Party lends Shares with the phrase such Lending Party does not lend Shares in the penultimate sentence; and (b) Section 12.9(b)(v) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by: (i) adding the word or immediately before subsection (B) and deleting the comma at the end of subsection (A); (ii) (1) deleting subsection (C) in its entirety, (2) deleting the word or immediately preceding subsection (C) and (3) deleting the penultimate sentence in its entirety and replacing it with the sentence The Hedging Party will determine the Cancellation Amount payable by one party to the other; and (iii) deleting subsection (X) in its entirety and the words or (Y) immediately following subsection (X).
Role of Agent. Each party agrees and acknowledges that (i) J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, an affiliate of Dealer (JPMS), has acted solely as agent and not as principal with respect to the Transaction and (ii) JPMS has no obligation or liability, by way of guaranty, endorsement or otherwise, in any manner in respect of the Transaction (including, if applicable, in respect of the settlement thereof). Each party agrees it will look solely to the other part for performance of such other partys obligations under the Transaction.
Severability; Illegality. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, if compliance by either party with any provision of the Transaction would be unenforceable or illegal, (a) the parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such unenforceability or illegality in a manner that preserves the economic benefits of the transactions contemplated hereby and (b) the other provisions of the Transaction shall not be invalidated, but shall remain in full force and effect.
Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THE TRANSACTION. EACH PARTY (I) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF SUCH A SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTY HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THE TRANSACTION, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS PROVIDED HEREIN.
Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act. In connection with Section 739 of the Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act of 2010 (WSTAA), the parties hereby agree that neither the enactment of WSTAA or any regulation under the WSTAA, nor any requirement under WSTAA or an amendment made by WSTAA, shall limit or otherwise impair either partys otherwise applicable rights to terminate, renegotiate, modify, amend or supplement this Confirmation or the Agreement, as applicable, arising from a termination event, force majeure, illegality, increased costs, regulatory change or similar event under this Confirmation, the Equity Definitions incorporated herein, or the Agreement (including, but not limited to, rights arising from Change in Law, Hedging Disruption, Increased Cost of Hedging, an Excess Ownership Position, or Illegality (as defined in the Agreement)).
19
Agreements and Acknowledgements Regarding Hedging. Counterparty understands, acknowledges and agrees that: (A) at any time on and prior to the Expiration Date, Dealer and its affiliates may buy or sell Shares or other securities or buy or sell options or futures contracts or enter into swaps or other derivative securities in order to adjust its hedge position with respect to the Transaction; (B) Dealer and its affiliates also may be active in the market for Shares other than in connection with hedging activities in relation to the Transaction; (C) Dealer shall make its own determination as to whether, when or in what manner any hedging or market activities in securities of Counterparty shall be conducted and shall do so in a manner that it deems appropriate to hedge its price and market risk with respect to the Relevant Prices; and (D) any market activities of Dealer and its affiliates with respect to Shares may affect the market price and volatility of Shares, as well as the Relevant Prices, each in a manner that may be adverse to Counterparty.
Early Unwind. In the event the sale of the Additional Securities (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement) is not consummated with the underwriters thereof for any reason, other than in cases involving breach of the Underwriting Agreement by Dealer or its affiliate, by the close of business in New York on May 23, 2012 (or such later date as agreed upon by the parties) (May 23, 2012 or such later date as agreed upon being the Early Unwind Date), the Transaction shall automatically terminate (the Early Unwind) on the Early Unwind Date and (a) the Transaction and all of the respective rights and obligations of Dealer and Counterparty under the Transaction shall be cancelled and terminated and (b) each party shall be released and discharged by the other party from and agrees not to make any claim against the other party with respect to any obligations or liabilities of the other party arising out of and to be performed in connection with the Transaction either prior to or after the Early Unwind Date. Dealer and Counterparty represent and acknowledge to the other that, upon an Early Unwind, all obligations with respect to the Transaction shall be deemed fully and finally discharged.
Payment by Counterparty. In the event that, following the payment of the Premium, (i) an Early Termination Date occurs or is designated with respect to the Transaction as a result of a Termination Event or an Event of Default and, as a result, Dealer owes to Counterparty an amount calculated under Section 6(e) of the Agreement, or (ii) Dealer owes to Counterparty, pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions, an amount calculated under Section 12.8 of the Equity Definitions, such amount shall be deemed to be zero.
Deduction or Withholding for Tax. So long as Counterparty is organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, the provisions of Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement shall not apply to the Transaction.

ANNEX A
Registration Settlement and Private Placement Settlement
(i) | If Counterparty elects to settle the Transaction pursuant to this clause (i) (a Private Placement Settlement), then delivery of Restricted Shares by Counterparty shall be effected in customary private placement procedures for private placements of equity securities of similar size with respect to such Restricted Shares reasonably acceptable to Dealer; provided that Counterparty may not elect a Private Placement Settlement if, on the date of its election, it has taken, or caused to be taken, any action that would make unavailable either the exemption pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for the sale by Counterparty to Dealer (or any affiliate designated by Dealer) of the Restricted Shares or the exemption pursuant to Section 4(1) or Section 4(3) of the Securities Act for resales of the Restricted Shares by Dealer (or any such affiliate of Dealer). Dealer or its affiliate and Counterparty shall enter into a private placement agreement that is customary in form and substance for private placements of equity securities of similar size in connection with any Private Placement Settlement (including the resale of the Restricted Shares and any Make-Whole Shares by Dealer or its affiliate), which agreement shall include, without limitation, customary representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to Dealer and its affiliates, due diligence rights (for Dealer or its affiliate or any potential buyer of the Restricted Shares or Make-Whole Shares, as the case may be, designated by Dealer or its affiliate), opinions and certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for private placement agreements for private placements of equity securities of similar size, all reasonably acceptable to Dealer or its affiliate. |
(ii) | If Counterparty elects to settle the Transaction pursuant to this clause (ii) (a Registration Settlement), then Counterparty shall promptly (but in any event no later than the beginning of the Resale Period) file and use its reasonable best efforts to make effective under the Securities Act a registration statement or supplement or amend an outstanding registration statement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Dealer, to cover the resale of such Restricted Shares (and any Make-whole Shares) in accordance with customary resale registration procedures for offerings of equity securities of similar size, including entry by Dealer or its affiliate and Counterparty into an underwriting agreement that is customary in form and substance for registered secondary equity offerings of similar size, including, without limitation, covenants, conditions, representations, underwriting discounts (if applicable), commissions (if applicable), indemnities, due diligence rights (for Dealer, its affiliate or any potential buyer of the Restricted Shares or Make-whole Shares, as the case may be, designated by Dealer or its affiliate), opinions and certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for equity resale underwriting agreements for offerings of similar size, all reasonably acceptable to Dealer or its affiliate. If Dealer or its affiliate, in its sole discretion, is not satisfied with such procedures and documentation, Private Placement Settlement shall apply. If Dealer or its affiliate is satisfied with such procedures and documentation, it shall sell the Restricted Shares (or any Make-whole Shares) pursuant to such registration statement during a period (the Resale Period) commencing on the Exchange Business Day following delivery of such Restricted Shares (or any Make-whole Shares) and ending on the earliest of (i) the Exchange Business Day on which Dealer or its affiliate completes the sale of all Restricted Shares or, in the case of settlement of Termination Delivery Units, a sufficient number of Restricted Shares so that the realized net proceeds of such sales exceed the Counterparty Payment Obligation and (ii) the date upon which all Restricted Shares (and any Make-whole Shares) may be sold or transferred by a non-affiliate pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in force) without any further restriction whatsoever. |
(iii) | If (ii) above is applicable and the Net Share Settlement Amount or the Counterparty Payment Obligation, as applicable, exceeds the realized net proceeds from such resale, or if (i) above is applicable and the Freely Tradeable Value (as defined below) of the Shares owed pursuant to the Net Share Settlement Amount, or the Counterparty Payment Obligation (in each case as adjusted pursuant to (i) above), as applicable, exceeds the realized net proceeds from such resale, Counterparty shall transfer to Dealer or its affiliate by the open of the regular trading session on the Exchange on the third Exchange Business Day immediately following the last day of the Resale Period the amount of such excess (the Additional Amount), at its option, either in cash or in a number of Restricted Shares |
A-1
(Make-whole Shares, provided that the aggregate number of Restricted Shares and Make-whole Shares delivered shall not exceed the Maximum Delivery Amount) that, based on the Relevant Price on the last day of the Resale Period (as if such day was the Valuation Date for purposes of computing such Relevant Price), has a value equal to the Additional Amount. If Counterparty elects to pay the Additional Amount in Make-whole Shares, Counterparty shall elect whether the requirements and provisions for either Private Placement Settlement or Registration Settlement shall apply to such payment. This provision shall be applied successively until the Additional Amount is equal to zero, subject to Limitation on Delivery of Shares. Freely Tradeable Value means the value of the number of Shares delivered to Dealer or its affiliate which such Shares would have if they were freely tradeable (without prospectus delivery) upon receipt by Dealer or its affiliate, as determined by the Calculation Agent by reference to the Relevant Price for freely tradeable Shares as of the Valuation Date, or other date of valuation used in a commercially reasonable manner to determine the delivery obligation with respect to such Shares, or by other commercially reasonable means. |
