Dear Sir or Madam:
The purpose of this communication (this “Confirmation”) is to confirm the terms and conditions of the transaction (the “Transaction”) entered into between Lehman Brothers OTC Derivatives Inc. (“Party A”) and CVS Caremark Corporation (“Party B”) on the Trade Date specified below. This Confirmation constitutes a “Confirmation” as referred to in the Agreement specified below. This Confirmation is sent on behalf both Party A and Lehman Brothers Inc. (“LBI”). Lehman Brothers OTC Derivatives Inc. is not a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation.
This Confirmation evidences a complete and binding agreement between Party A and Party B as to the terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates. This Confirmation shall supplement, form a part of, and be subject to an agreement in the form of the 2002 ISDA Master Agreement (the “Agreement”) as if we had executed an agreement in such form (but without any Schedule) on the Trade Date of the Transaction. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of that agreement, or the Agreement and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will prevail for the purpose of the Transaction.
The definitions and provisions contained in the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “Equity Definitions”) and the 2000 ISDA Definitions (the “Swap Definitions”, and together with the Equity Definitions, the “Definitions”), in each case as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) are incorporated into this Confirmation. References herein to “Transaction” shall be deemed references to “Swap Transaction” for purposes of the Swap Definitions. In the event of any inconsistency between the Equity Definitions and the Swap Definitions, the Equity Definitions will govern. In the event of any inconsistency between either set of Definitions and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will govern. The Transaction shall constitute a Share Forward Transaction for the purposes of the Equity Definitions and shall be the only Transaction under the Agreement.
The terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates are as follows:
