(“Issuer”).  The additional terms of the Transaction are as set forth in the Trade Notification in the form of Schedule A hereto (the “Trade Notification”), which shall reference this Confirmation and supplement, form a part of, and be subject to this Confirmation.  This communication, as supplemented by the Trade Notification, constitutes a “Confirmation” as referred to in the ISDA Master Agreement specified below.

Disclosure of Agency Relationship

Dealer has appointed, as its agent, its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, RBC Capital Markets, LLC (“RBCCM”), for purposes of conducting, on Dealer’s behalf, a business in privately negotiated transactions in options and other derivatives.  You hereby are advised that Dealer, the principal and stated counterparty in such transactions, duly has authorized RBCCM to market, structure, negotiate, document, price, execute and hedge transactions in over-the-counter derivative products.

1.             This Confirmation and the Trade Notification are subject to, and incorporate, the definitions and provisions of the 2000 ISDA Definitions (including the Annex thereto) (the “2000 Definitions”) and the definitions and provisions of the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “Equity Definitions”, and together with the 2000 Definitions, the “Definitions”), in each case as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”).  In the event of any inconsistency between the 2000 Definitions and the Equity Definitions, the Equity Definitions will govern.  For purposes of the Equity Definitions, each reference herein to a Warrant shall be deemed to be a reference to a Call Option or an Option, as context requires.

This Confirmation, as supplemented by the Trade Notification, evidences a complete and binding agreement between Dealer and Issuer as to the terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation, as supplemented by the Trade Notification, relates.  This Confirmation and the Trade Notification shall be subject to an agreement (the “Agreement”) in the form of the 2002 ISDA Master Agreement as if Dealer and Issuer had executed an agreement in such form (without any Schedule except for (i) the election of US Dollars (“USD”) as the Termination Currency and (ii) the election that the “Cross Default” provisions of Section 5(a)(vi) of the Agreement will apply to Dealer and to Counterparty with (x) the phrase “, or becoming capable at such time of being declared,” deleted from Section 5(a)(vi)(1) of the Agreement and (y) the “Threshold Amount” with respect to Dealer being three percent (3%) of shareholders’ equity of Royal Bank of Canada as of the Trade Date and with respect to Counterparty,  USD 50.0 million).  For the avoidance of doubt, the Transaction shall be the only transaction under the Agreement.

All provisions contained in, or incorporated by reference in, the Agreement will govern this Confirmation and the Trade Notification except as expressly modified herein.  In the event of any inconsistency between this Confirmation, the Trade Notification and either the Definitions or the Agreement, the following will prevail for purposes of the Transaction in order of precedence indicated: (i) the Trade Notification, (ii) this Confirmation, (iii) the Definitions, (iv) the Agreement (without regard to the Trade Notification and the Confirmation).  For the avoidance of doubt, except to the extent of an express conflict, the application of any provision of this Confirmation, the Trade Notification, the Definitions or the Agreement, shall not be construed to exclude or limit the application of any other provision of this Confirmation, the Trade Notification, the Definitions or the Agreement.

(iv)          Issuer is not entering into this Confirmation and will not make any election hereunder for the purpose of creating actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for Shares) or raising or depressing or otherwise manipulating the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for Shares) or otherwise in violation of the Exchange Act.

(v)           Issuer is not, and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby will not be, required to register as an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(vi)          On each of the Trade Date and the Premium Payment Date, Issuer is not, or will not be, “insolvent” (as such term is defined under Section 101(32) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code) (the “Bankruptcy Code”)) and Issuer would be able to purchase 10,734,357 Shares in compliance with the corporate laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation.

(vii)         Issuer shall not take any action to decrease the number of Available Shares below the Capped Number (each as defined below).

(viii)        The representations and warranties of Issuer set forth in Article III of an Exchange Agreement dated as of June 14, 2013, between the Issuer and a holder of the Issuer’s 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2014 (the “Exchange Agreement”)  are true and correct and are hereby deemed to be repeated to Dealer as if set forth herein.

(ix)          Issuer understands no obligations of Dealer to it hereunder will be entitled to the benefit of deposit insurance and that such obligations will not be guaranteed by any Affiliate of Dealer or any governmental agency.

(x)           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”).

11

(xi)                              On each day during the Settlement Period, neither Issuer nor any “affiliate” or “affiliated purchaser” (each as defined in Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act (“Rule 10b-18”)) shall directly or indirectly (including, without limitation, by means of any cash-settled or other derivative instrument) purchase, offer to purchase, place any bid or limit order that would effect a purchase of, or commence any tender offer relating to, any Shares (or an equivalent interest, including a unit of beneficial interest in a trust or limited partnership or a depository share) or any security convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Shares.

(xii)                           (a) The Shares of Issuer issuable from time to time upon exercise of the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”) have been duly authorized and, when delivered against payment therefor (which may include Net Share Settlement in lieu of cash) and otherwise as contemplated by the terms of the Warrant following the exercise of the Warrant in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Warrant, will be validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable, and the issuance of the Warrant Shares will not be subject to any preemptive or similar rights and (b) a number of Warrant Shares equal to the Capped Number has been accepted for listing or quotation on the Exchange, subject to notice of issuance.  In addition, Issuer 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 is at least equal to the Capped Number.

(e)                                  It is the intent of the parties that, in respect of Issuer, (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 Party’s 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).

(g)                                  On each anniversary of the Trade Date, Issuer shall deliver to Dealer an officer’s certificate, signed by an authorized officer, stating the number of Available Shares (as defined in the provision titled “Limitation On Delivery of Shares” below).

8.                                      Miscellaneous:

(a)                                 Alternative Calculations and Issuer Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events.  If Issuer shall owe Dealer any amount pursuant to Sections 12.2, 12.3, 12.6, 12.7 or 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (a “Payment Obligation”), Issuer shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to satisfy any such Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative (as defined below) by giving irrevocable telephonic notice to Dealer, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day, no later than 9:30 A.M. New York City time on the Merger Date, Tender Offer Date, Announcement Date, Early Termination Date or date of cancellation or termination in respect of an Extraordinary Event, as applicable (“Notice of Share Termination”); provided that if Issuer does not elect to satisfy its Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative, Dealer shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to elect to require Issuer to satisfy its Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative, notwithstanding Issuer’s failure to elect or election to the contrary; and provided further that Issuer shall not have the right to so elect (but, for the avoidance of doubt, Dealer shall have the right to so elect) in the event of (i) an Insolvency, a Nationalization or a Merger Event, in each case, in which the consideration or proceeds to be paid to holders of Shares consists solely of cash or (ii) an Event of Default, a Termination Event or an Extraordinary Event, in each case, which resulted from an event or events within Issuer’s control.  Upon such Notice of Share Termination, the following provisions shall apply on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the Merger Date, the Tender Offer Date, Announcement Date, Early Termination Date or date of cancellation or termination in respect of an Extraordinary Event, as applicable:

13

(b)                                 Payment by Dealer.  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 of the type described in Section 5(a)(ii) or 5(a)(iv) of the Agreement) and, as a result, Dealer owes to Issuer an amount pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement, or (ii) Dealer owes to Issuer an amount pursuant to Article 12 of the Equity Definitions (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any amount payable in connection with an Extraordinary Event), such amount shall be deemed to be zero.

(c)                                  Additional Termination Events.  The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an Additional Termination Event with respect to which the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and Issuer shall be the sole Affected Party and Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date; 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 the termination of the Affected Transaction, a Transaction with terms identical to those set forth herein except with a Number of Warrants equal to the unaffected number of Warrants shall be treated for all purposes as the Transaction, which shall remain in full force and effect:

(i)                                     Dealer reasonably determines, upon advice of counsel, that it is necessary to terminate a portion of the Transaction so that Dealer’s related hedging activities will comply with applicable securities laws, rules or regulations;

(ii)                                  a “person” or “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, other than Issuer, its subsidiaries and its and their employee benefit plans, has become the direct or indirect “beneficial owner,” as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, of the Issuer’s common equity representing more than 50% of the voting power of Issuer’s common equity;

(iii)                               the consummation of (A) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of Shares (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination) as a result of which Shares would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets or (B) any share exchange, consolidation or merger of Issuer pursuant to which Shares will be converted into cash, securities or other property or any sale, lease or other transfer in one transaction or a series of transactions of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of Issuer and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any person other than one of Issuer’s subsidiaries, unless holders of all classes of Issuer’s common equity immediately prior to such transaction that is a share exchange, consolidation or merger own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of all classes of common equity of the continuing or surviving corporation or transferee or the parent thereof immediately after such event;

(iv)                              Issuer’s common stockholders approve any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of Issuer; or

(v)                                 the Shares cease to be listed on at least one of the following: The New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market, The NASDAQ Global Market or The NASDAQ Capital Market (or any of their respective successors).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction set forth in clause (ii) or (iii) above will not constitute an Additional Termination Event if (a) at least 90% of the consideration received or to be received by Issuer’s common stockholders, excluding cash payments for fractional shares, in connection with such transaction or transactions otherwise constituting an Additional Termination Event consists of shares of common stock that are listed or quoted on any of The New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market, The NASDAQ Global Market or

14

The NASDAQ Capital Market (or any of their respective successors) and (b) as a result of the completion of such transaction or transactions, the “Shares” are composed of such consideration.

(d)                                 Registration/Private Placement Procedures.  (i)  If, in the reasonable judgment of Dealer, for any reason, any Shares or any securities of Issuer or its affiliates comprising any Share Termination Delivery Units deliverable to Dealer hereunder (any such Shares or securities, “Delivered Securities”) would not be immediately freely transferable by Dealer under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, then the provisions set forth in this Section 8(d) shall apply.  At the election of Issuer by notice to Dealer within one Exchange Business Day after the relevant delivery obligation arises, but in any event at least one Exchange Business Day prior to the date on which such delivery obligation is due, either (A) all Delivered Securities delivered by Issuer to Dealer shall be, at the time of such delivery, covered by an effective registration statement of Issuer for immediate resale by Dealer (such registration statement and the corresponding prospectus (the “Prospectus”) (including, without limitation, any sections describing the plan of distribution) in form and content commercially reasonably satisfactory to Dealer) or (B) Issuer shall deliver additional Delivered Securities so that the value of such Delivered Securities, as determined by the Calculation Agent to reflect an appropriate liquidity discount, equals the value of the number of Delivered Securities that would otherwise be deliverable if such Delivered Securities were freely tradeable (without prospectus delivery) upon receipt by Dealer (such value, the “Freely Tradeable Value”); provided that Issuer may not make the election described in this clause (B) 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 delivery by Issuer to Dealer (or any Affiliate of Dealer designated by Dealer) of the Delivered Securities or the exemption pursuant to Section 4(1) or Section 4(3) of the Securities Act for resales of the Delivered Securities by Dealer (or any such Affiliate of Dealer).  (For the avoidance of doubt, as used in this Section 8(d) only, the term “Issuer” shall mean the issuer of the relevant securities, as the context shall require.)

(ii)                                  If Issuer makes the election described in Section 8(d)(i)(A) above:

(A)                               Dealer (or an Affiliate of Dealer designated by Dealer) shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation with respect to Issuer that is customary in scope for underwritten offerings of equity securities and that yields results that are reasonably satisfactory to Dealer or such Affiliate, as the case may be, in its discretion; and

(B)                               Dealer (or an Affiliate of Dealer designated by Dealer) and Issuer shall enter into an agreement (a “Registration Agreement”) on commercially reasonable terms in connection with the public resale of such Delivered Securities by Dealer or such Affiliate substantially similar to underwriting agreements customary for underwritten offerings of equity securities, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Dealer or such Affiliate and Issuer, which Registration Agreement shall include, without limitation, provisions substantially similar to those contained in such underwriting agreements relating to the indemnification of, and contribution in connection with the liability of, Dealer and its Affiliates and Issuer, shall provide for the payment by Issuer of all expenses in connection with such resale, including all registration costs and all fees and expenses of counsel for Dealer, and shall provide for the delivery of accountants’ “comfort letters” to Dealer or such Affiliate with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information contained in or incorporated by reference into the Prospectus.

(iii)                               If Issuer makes the election described in Section 8(d)(i)(B) above:

(A)                               Dealer (or an Affiliate of Dealer designated by Dealer) and any potential institutional purchaser of any such Delivered Securities from Dealer or such Affiliate identified by Dealer shall be afforded a commercially reasonable opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation in compliance with applicable law with respect to Issuer customary in scope for private placements of equity securities (including, without limitation, the right to have made available to them for inspection all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and other information reasonably requested by them);

(B)                               Dealer (or an Affiliate of Dealer designated by Dealer) and Issuer shall enter into an agreement (a “Private Placement Agreement”) on commercially reasonable terms in connection with the private placement of such Delivered Securities by Issuer to Dealer or such Affiliate and the private resale of such shares by Dealer or such Affiliate, substantially similar to private placement purchase agreements customary for private placements of equity securities, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Dealer and Issuer, which Private Placement Agreement shall include, without limitation, provisions

15

substantially similar to those contained in such private placement purchase agreements relating to the indemnification of, and contribution in connection with the liability of, Dealer and its Affiliates and Issuer, shall provide for the payment by Issuer of all expenses in connection with such resale, including all fees and expenses of counsel for Dealer, shall contain representations, warranties and agreements of Issuer reasonably necessary or advisable to establish and maintain the availability of an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act for such resales, and shall use best efforts to provide for the delivery of accountants’ “comfort letters” to Dealer or such Affiliate with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information contained in or incorporated by reference into the offering memorandum prepared for the resale of such Shares; and

(C)                               Issuer agrees that any Delivered Securities so delivered to Dealer, (i) may be transferred by and among Dealer and its Affiliates, and Issuer shall effect such transfer without any further action by Dealer and (ii) after the minimum “holding period” within the meaning of Rule 144(d) under the Securities Act has elapsed with respect to such Delivered Securities, Issuer shall promptly remove, or cause the transfer agent for such Shares or securities to remove, any legends referring to any such restrictions or requirements from such Delivered Securities upon delivery by Dealer (or such Affiliate of Dealer) to Issuer or such transfer agent of seller’s and broker’s representation letters customarily delivered by Dealer in connection with resales of restricted securities pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, 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 of Dealer).

(D)                               Issuer shall not take, or cause 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 Issuer to Dealer (or any Affiliate designated by Dealer) of the Shares or Share Termination Delivery Units, as the case may be, or the exemption pursuant to Section 4(1) or Section 4(3) of the Securities Act for resales of the Shares or Share Termination Delivery Units, as the case may be, by Dealer (or any such Affiliate of Dealer).

(iv)                              If Issuer makes the election described in clause (i)(B) of this paragraph (d), then Dealer or its Affiliate may sell such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Units, as the case may be, during a period (the “Resale Period”) commencing on the Exchange Business Day following delivery of such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Units, as the case may be, and ending on the Exchange Business Day on which Dealer completes the sale of all such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Units, as the case may be, or a sufficient number of Shares or Share Termination Delivery Units, as the case may be, so that the realized net proceeds of such sales exceed the Freely Tradeable Value (such amount of the Freely Tradeable Value, the “Required Proceeds”).  If any of such delivered Shares or Share Termination Delivery Units remain after such realized net proceeds exceed the Required Proceeds, Dealer shall return such remaining Shares or Share Termination Delivery Units to Issuer.  If the Required Proceeds exceed the realized net proceeds from such resale, Issuer shall transfer to Dealer by the open of the regular trading session on the Exchange on the Exchange Trading Day immediately following the last day of the Resale Period the amount of such excess (the “Additional Amount”) in cash or in a number of additional Shares or Share Termination Delivery Units, as the case may be, (“Make-whole Shares”) in an 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 dollar value equal to the Additional Amount.  The Resale Period shall continue to enable the sale of the Make-whole Shares in the manner contemplated by this Section 8(d)(iv).  This provision shall be applied successively until the Additional Amount is equal to zero, subject to Section 8(j).

(e)                                  Amendments to Equity Definitions.  The following amendments shall be made to the Equity Definitions:

(i)                                     Section 11.2(a) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the words “a diluting or concentrative effect on the theoretical value of the relevant Shares” and replacing them with the words “an economic effect on the relevant Transaction”.

(ii)                                  The first sentence of Section 11.2(c) of the Equity Definitions, prior to clause (A) thereof, is hereby amended to read as follows:  ‘(c) If “Calculation Agent Adjustment” is specified as the Method of Adjustment in the related Confirmation of a Share Option Transaction, then following the declaration or occurrence of any Potential Adjustment Event, the Calculation Agent will determine whether such Potential Adjustment Event has an economic effect on the Transaction and, if so, will (i) make appropriate adjustment(s), if any, to any one or

16

more of:’ and, the portion of such sentence immediately preceding clause (ii) thereof is hereby amended by (x) replacing the words “a diluting or concentrative” with “an” in the fifth line thereof, (y) deleting the words “diluting or concentrative effect” in the sixth to last line thereof and (z) replacing the phrase “(provided that no adjustments will be made to account solely for changes in volatility, expected dividends, stock loan rate or liquidity relative to the relevant Shares)” with the phrase “(and, for the avoidance of doubt, adjustments may be made to account solely for changes in volatility, expected dividends, stock loan rate or liquidity relative to the relevant Shares)”.

(iii)                               Section 11.2(e)(vii) of the Equity Definitions are hereby amended by deleting the words “diluting or concentrative effect on the theoretical value of the relevant Shares” and replacing them with the words “an economic effect on the relevant Transaction”.

(iv)                              Section 12.1(f) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by the deletion of the parenthetical in clause (i) thereof.

(v)                                 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 after the stipulated parenthetical provision:  “(including adjustments to account for changes in volatility, expected dividends, stock loan rate or liquidity relevant to the Shares or to this Transaction) from the Exchange Business Day immediately preceding the Announcement Date or the Determination Date, as applicable,  to the first Exchange Business Day immediately following the Merger Date (Section 12.2) or Tender Offer Date (Section 12.3).”

(vi)                              Section 12.9(b)(iv) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by (A) 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); (B) replacing “will lend” with “lends” in subsection (B); and (C) 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.

(vii)                           Section 12.9(b)(v) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by (A) adding the word “or” immediately before subsection “(B)” and deleting the comma at the end of subsection (A); and (B)(1) deleting subsection (C) in its entirety, (2) deleting the word “or” immediately preceding subsection (C) and (3) replacing in the penultimate sentence the words “either party” with “the Hedging Party” and (4) deleting clause (X) in the final sentence.

(f)                                   Repurchase Notices.  Issuer shall, on any day on which Issuer 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 the numerator of which is the Number of Warrants and the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day.  Issuer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Dealer, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons (Dealer and each such person being an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject under applicable securities laws, including without limitation, Section 16 of the Exchange Act, relating to or arising out of such failure.  If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnified Party, then Issuer shall contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability.  In addition, Issuer will reimburse any Indemnified Party for all expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) as they are incurred (after notice to Issuer) in connection with the investigation of, preparation for or defense or settlement of any pending or threatened claim or any action, suit or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto and whether or not such claim, action, suit or proceeding is initiated or brought by or on behalf of Issuer.  This indemnity shall survive the completion of the Transaction contemplated by this Confirmation and any assignment and delegation of the Transaction made pursuant to this Confirmation or the Agreement shall inure to the benefit of any permitted assignee of Dealer.

(g)                                  Transfer or Assignment.  Dealer may transfer or assign its rights and obligations hereunder and under the Agreement, in whole or in part, at any time to any person or entity whatsoever without the consent of Issuer.  At any time at

which any Ownership Limitation or a Hedging Disruption exists, if Dealer, in its discretion, is unable to effect a transfer or assignment to a third party after using its commercially reasonable efforts on pricing terms and within a time period reasonably acceptable to Dealer such that an Ownership Limitation or a Hedging Disruption, as the case may be, no longer exists, Dealer may designate any Scheduled Trading Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion (the “Terminated Portion”) of the Transaction, such that such Ownership Limitation or a Hedging Disruption, as the case may be, no longer exists.  In the event that Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction, a payment or delivery shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement or Section 8(a) of this Confirmation as if (i) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Terminated Portion of the Transaction, (ii) Issuer shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (iii) such portion of the Transaction shall be the only Terminated Transaction.

(h)                                 Limit on Beneficial Ownership.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement or this Confirmation, in no event shall Dealer be entitled to receive, or shall be deemed to receive, any Shares in connection with this Transaction if, immediately upon giving effect to such receipt of such Shares, (i) Dealer’s Beneficial Ownership would be equal to or greater than 9.0% of the outstanding Shares, (ii) Dealer, or any “affiliate” or “associate” of Dealer, would be an “interested stockholder” of Issuer, as all such terms are defined in Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law or (iii) 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 laws, regulations or regulatory orders applicable to ownership of Shares (“Applicable Laws”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership in excess of a number of Shares equal to (x) the number of Shares that would give rise to reporting or registration obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval by a state or federal regulator) of a Dealer Person under Applicable Laws and with respect to which such requirements have not been met or the relevant approval has not been received or that would give rise to any consequences under the constitutive documents of Issuer or any contract or agreement to which Issuer is a party, in each case minus (y) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding on the date of determination (each of clause (i), (ii) and (iii) above, an “Ownership Limitation”).  If any delivery owed to Dealer hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of an Ownership Limitation, Dealer’s right to receive such delivery shall not be extinguished and Issuer shall make such delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than one Exchange Business Day after, Dealer gives notice to Issuer that such delivery would not result in any of such Ownership Limitations being breached.  “Dealer’s Beneficial Ownership” means the “beneficial ownership” (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder (collectively, “Section 13”)) of Shares, without duplication, by Dealer, together with any of its affiliates or other person subject to aggregation with Dealer under Section 13 for purposes of “beneficial ownership”, or by any “group” (within the meaning of Section 13) of which Dealer is or may be deemed to be a part (Dealer and any such affiliates, persons and groups, collectively, “Dealer Group”) (or, to the extent that, as a result of a change in law, regulation or interpretation after the date hereof, the equivalent calculation under Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder results in a higher number, such number).  Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement or this Confirmation to the contrary, Dealer shall not become the record or beneficial owner, or otherwise have any rights as a holder, of any Shares that Dealer is not entitled to receive at any time pursuant to this Section 8(h), until such time as such Shares are delivered pursuant to this Section 8(h).

(i)                                     Limitation On Delivery of Shares.  Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Issuer be required to deliver Shares in connection with the Transaction in excess of two times the Number of Warrants (the “Capped Number”).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, this Confirmation or the Equity Definitions, in no event shall the Capped Number be subject to adjustment, to the extent that such adjustment would cause the Capped Number to exceed the number of Available Shares, unless such adjustment results from actions of Issuer or events within Issuer’s control.  Issuer represents and warrants to Dealer (which representation and warranty shall be deemed to be repeated on each day that the Transaction is outstanding) that the Capped Number is equal to or less than the number of authorized but unissued Shares of the Issuer that are not reserved for future issuance in connection with transactions in the Shares (other than the Transaction) on the date of the determination of the Capped Number (such Shares, the “Available Shares”).  In the event Issuer shall not have delivered the full number of Shares otherwise deliverable as a result of this Section 8(i) (the resulting deficit, the “Deficit Shares”), Issuer 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 (i) Shares are repurchased, acquired or otherwise received by Issuer or any of its subsidiaries after the Trade Date (whether or not in exchange for cash, fair value or any other consideration), (ii) authorized and unissued Shares reserved for issuance in respect of other transactions prior to the Trade Date become no longer so reserved or (iii) Issuer additionally authorizes any unissued Shares that are not reserved for other transactions.  Issuer shall immediately notify Dealer of the occurrence of any

18

of the foregoing events (including the number of Shares subject to clause (i), (ii) or (iii) and the corresponding number of Shares to be delivered) and promptly deliver such Shares thereafter.  Issuer shall not, until Issuer’s obligations under the Transaction have been satisfied in full, use any Shares that become available for potential delivery to Dealer as a result of any of the foregoing events for the settlement or satisfaction of any transaction or obligation other than the Transaction or reserve any such Shares for future issuance for any purpose other than to satisfy Issuer’s obligations to Dealer under the Transaction.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Definitions or the Agreement, any Payment Obligation shall, for all purposes, be calculated without regard to the provisions set forth under this Section 8(i); provided that the number of Shares deliverable pursuant to Section 8(a) above (if applicable) shall not exceed the applicable Capped Number.

(j)                                    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 Number of Shares to be Delivered with respect to one or more Components), if Dealer determines, in its good faith and reasonable discretion, upon advice of counsel in the case of the immediately following clause (ii), that such extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate to (i) preserve Dealer’s 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 or (ii) to 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 Issuer or an affiliated purchaser of Issuer, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer.

(k)                                 No 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.

(l)                                     Status of Claims in Bankruptcy.Dealer acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to convey to it rights with respect to the Transaction that are senior to the claims of common stockholders or Issuer in the event of Issuer’s bankruptcy.  For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that the preceding sentence shall not apply at any time other than during Issuer’s bankruptcy.

(m)                             No Collateral.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Confirmation, the Agreement, the Equity Definitions or any other agreement between the parties to the contrary, the obligations of Issuer under the Transaction are not secured by any collateral.

(n)                                 Disclosure.  Effective from the date of commencement of discussions concerning the Transaction, Issuer and each of its employees, representatives, or other agents may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the Transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to Issuer relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.

(o)                                 Method of Delivery.  Whenever delivery of funds or other assets is required hereunder by or to Issuer, such delivery shall be effected through RBCCM.  In addition, all notices, demands and communications of any kind relating to the Transaction between Dealer and Issuer shall be transmitted exclusively through RBCCM.

(p)                                 Effectiveness.  If, prior to the Effective Date, Dealer reasonably determines that it is advisable to cancel the Transaction because of concerns that Dealer’s related hedging activities could be viewed as not complying with applicable securities laws, rules or regulations, the Transaction shall be cancelled and shall not become effective, and neither party shall have any obligation to the other party in respect of the Transaction.

(q)                                 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.

(r)                                    Agreements and Acknowledgments Regarding Hedging.  Issuer understands, acknowledges and agrees that:  (A) at any time on and prior to the final 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,

19

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 VWAP Price; 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 VWAP Price, each in a manner that may be adverse to Issuer.

(s)                                   Early Unwind.  In the event the exchange by Issuer of the Existing Notes for the New Notes (each as defined in the Exchange Agreement) is not consummated with each Holder (as defined in each Exchange Agreement) pursuant to the Exchange Agreement for any reason by the close of business in New York on June 19, 2013 (or such later date as agreed upon by the parties) (June 19, 2013 or such later date being the “Early Unwind Date”), the Transaction shall automatically terminate (the “Early Unwind”) on the Early Unwind Date and (x) the Transaction and all of the respective rights and obligations of Dealer and Issuer thereunder shall be cancelled and terminated and (y) Issuer shall assume, or reimburse the cost of, derivatives and other hedging activities entered into by Dealer or one or more of its affiliates in connection with hedging the Transaction and the unwind of such hedging activities.  Following such termination, cancellation and payment, subject to the preceding sentence, 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 either party arising out of and to be performed in connection with the Transaction either prior to or after the Early Unwind Date.

(t)                                    Waiver of Jury Trial.  EACH OF ISSUER AND BUYER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES (ON ITS OWN BEHALF AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ON BEHALF OF ITS STOCKHOLDERS) ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE TRANSACTION OR THE ACTIONS OF BUYER OR ITS AFFILIATES IN THE NEGOTIATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.

(u)                                 Governing Law; Jurisdiction.  THIS CONFIRMATION AND THE TRADE NOTIFICATION AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS CONFIRMATION AND THE TRADE NOTIFICATION SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.  THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE UNITED STATES COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK IN CONNECTION WITH ALL MATTERS RELATING HERETO AND WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE IN, AND ANY CLAIM OF INCONVENIENT FORUM WITH RESPECT TO, THESE COURTS.
