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 Lawson Software, Inc. (“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 of 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 supplements, forms part of, and is subject to an agreement in the form of the 1992 ISDA Master Agreement (Multicurrency—Cross Border) (the “Agreement”) as if we had executed an agreement in such form (but without any Schedule except for the elections set forth herein) on the Trade Date of the Transaction.  In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of the Agreement and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will prevail 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., 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.  Certain defined terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture to be dated on or about April 23, 2007 between Party B and The Bank of New York, as trustee (as may be amended or supplemented from time to time, but only if such amendment or supplement is consented to by Party A in writing, the “Indenture”) relating to USD 240 million principal amount of 2.50% senior convertible notes due April 15, 2012 (the “Convertible Notes”) issued by Party B.  In the event of any inconsistency between either set of Definitions and this Confirmation, or between the Indenture and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will govern.  For the avoidance of doubt, references herein to sections of the Indenture are based on the draft of the Indenture most recently reviewed by the parties at the time of this Confirmation.  If any relevant sections of the Indenture are changed, added or renumbered following execution of this Confirmation, the parties will amend this Confirmation in good faith to preserve the economic intent of the parties.

Potential Exercise Dates:

 

Each Conversion Date

 

 

 

Conversion Date:

 

Each “Conversion Date” as defined in the Indenture.

 

 

 

Required Exercise on Conversion Dates:

 

On each Conversion Date, a number of Options equal to the number of Convertible Notes in denominations of USD 1,000 principal amount submitted for conversion on such Conversion Date in accordance with the terms of the Indenture shall be automatically exercised by Party B, subject to “Notice of Exercise” below.

 

 

 

Automatic Exercise:

 

Applicable, subject to “Notice of Exercise” below.

 

 

 

Notice of Exercise:

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Equity Definitions, in order to exercise any Options, Party B must notify Party A (in writing or orally) at least one Scheduled Trading Day prior to the first day of the applicable “Conversion Period” (as defined in the Indenture) for the Convertible Notes being converted on that Exercise Date (the “Notice Deadline”) of (i) the number of Options being exercised on that Exercise Date, (ii) such Exercise Date and (iii) the scheduled commencement date of the “Conversion Period” and settlement date under the Indenture for the Convertible Notes converted on the Conversion Date corresponding to such Exercise Date; provided, however, that with respect to Convertible Notes converted during the period beginning on, and including, the 25th “Scheduled Trading Day” (as defined in the Indenture) prior to the “Maturity Date” (as defined in the Indenture) for such Convertible Notes and ending on the “Scheduled Trading Day” (as defined in the Indenture) immediately preceding the “Maturity Date”, the Notice Deadline shall be the “Scheduled Trading Day” (as defined in the Indenture) immediately preceding the “Maturity Date”.

 

 

 

Settlement Terms:

 

 

 

 

 

Settlement Obligation:

 

In respect of an Exercise Date occurring on a Conversion Date, Party A will deliver to Party B on the related Settlement Date a number of Shares equal to the aggregate number of Shares that Party B is obligated to deliver to the holder(s) of the Convertible Notes converted on such Conversion Date pursuant to Section 10.12 of the Indenture and an amount of cash equal to the amount, if any, that Party B is obligated to deliver to holder(s) of the Convertible Notes on such Conversion Date pursuant to Section 10.03 of the Indenture; provided that such obligation shall be determined excluding any Shares (or cash for fractional Shares) that Party B is obligated to deliver to holder(s) of the Convertible Notes as a result of any adjustments to the “Conversion Rate” pursuant to Sections 10.04(b) or 10.05(i) of the Indenture and assuming that Party B did not make the election set forth in Section 10.13 of the Indenture in respect of a “Public Acquirer Change of Control” thereunder; provided further that if the “Volume Weighted Average Price” (as defined in the Indenture) is not available on the Bloomberg page, the Calculation Agent shall determine the “Volume Weighted Average Price” for purposes of calculating the Settlement Obligation in a commercially reasonable manner; and provided further that if such exercise relates to the conversion of Convertible Notes in connection with which holder(s) thereof are entitled to receive additional Shares (or cash for

 

3




 

 

fractional Shares) pursuant to the adjustments to the “Conversion Rate” set forth in Section 10.04(b) of the Indenture, then, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Settlement Obligation shall include such additional Shares (or cash for fractional Shares), except that the Settlement Obligation shall be capped so that the value of the Settlement Obligation (as determined by the Calculation Agent) does not exceed the amount (as determined by the Calculation Agent) that would be payable by Party A pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement if such Conversion Date were an Early Termination Date resulting from an Additional Termination Event with respect to which the Transaction (except that, for purposes of determining such amount, the Number of Options shall be deemed to be equal to the number of Options exercised on the related Exercise Date) was the sole Affected Transaction and Party B was the sole Affected Party (determined without regard to “Alternative Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events” of this Confirmation) (the “Unwind Value”). For the avoidance of doubt, in the case of any exercise hereunder, if the “Daily Conversion Value” (as defined in the Indenture) for each of the “Settlement Period Trading Days” (as defined in the Indenture) occurring in the relevant “Conversion Period” is less than or equal to USD 50, Party A will have no delivery obligation hereunder in respect of the related Exercise Date.

 

 

 

 

 

The provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.11 and 9.12 of the Equity Definitions will be applicable, except that all references in such provisions to “Physically-settled” shall be read as references to “Net Share Settled.” “Net Share Settled” in relation to the Transaction means that Party A is obligated to deliver Shares (or cash for fractional Shares) hereunder.

 

 

 

 

 

Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions shall be amended by deleting all text after “(other than a lien routinely imposed on all securities by the relevant Clearance System)” in the fourth line thereof.

 

 

 

Settlement Date:

 

In respect of an Exercise Date occurring on a Conversion Date, the settlement date for the Shares (or cash for fractional Shares) to be delivered under the related Convertible Notes under the terms of the Indenture; provided that the Settlement Date will not be prior to the Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the date on which Party B gives notice to Party A of such Settlement Date and the Settlement Obligation.

 

 

 

Share Adjustments:

 

 

 

 

 

Method of Adjustment:

 

Convertible Adjustment

 

 

 

Convertible Adjustment:

 

The Calculation Agent will adjust the Strike Price, the Number of Options, the Option Entitlement, the nature of the Shares and/or any other variable relevant to the exercise, valuation or settlement of the Transaction, as appropriate, to reflect any Conversion Change effected pursuant to the terms of the Indenture; provided that such adjustment shall not be made until Party A has received from Party B a notice of such Conversion Change.

 

 

 

 

 

Conversion Change” means any adjustment by Party B to the “Conversion Price” (as defined in the Indenture), the “Conversion

Rate” and/or the nature of the Shares under the Convertible Notes pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, other than a reduction in the “Conversion Price” or an increase in the “Conversion Rate” pursuant to Sections 10.04(b) or 10.05(i) of the Indenture or a change to the nature of the Shares as the result of Party B’s election under Section 10.13 of the Indenture in respect of a “Public Acquirer Change of Control.” Party B agrees that it will notify Party A prior to the effectiveness of any Conversion Change and, to the extent such Conversion Change requires an exercise of discretion by Party B under the terms of the Indenture, it shall consult with the Calculation Agent in order to achieve a commercially reasonable adjustment, determination or calculation.

Additional Termination Provision:

 

If (i) Convertible Notes are repurchased or redeemed by Party B or its subsidiaries, or (ii) an “Event of Default” with respect to Party B under the terms of the Convertible Notes as set forth in Section 6.01 of the Indenture occurs, which results in principal and interest related to the Convertible Notes being declared immediately due and payable pursuant to the terms of the Indenture or (iii) an Amendment Event occurs, then in each case the Transaction shall terminate (in the case of clause (i) and (iii), such termination shall be in part, and shall reduce the Number of Options by the number of Convertible Notes so repurchased or redeemed or subject to the Amendment Event) as of the date of such repurchase, redemption, declaration or amendment. No additional payments or deliveries will be made under the terminated portion of the Transaction or, for greater certainty, in connection with such termination.

Indenture or the Convertible Notes governing the principal amount due at maturity, the maturity date, the amount of repurchase obligation of Party B, or other material term relating to conversion of the Convertible Notes (including any changes to the conversion price, conversion settlement dates or material conversion conditions), or (ii) any term that would require consent of the holders of not less than 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to amend, in each case without the written consent of Party A.

 

 

 

Additional Termination Event:

 

If, upon the occurrence of a “Public Acquirer Change of Control” under the Indenture occurs, Party B makes an election provided in Section 10.13 of the Indenture, an Additional Termination Event shall occur in respect of which (1) Party B shall be the sole Affected Party and (2) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction.

The definition of “Insolvency Filing” in Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions shall be amended by deleting the clause “provided that proceedings instituted or petitions presented by creditors and not consented to by the Issuer shall not be deemed an Insolvency Filing” at the end of such definition and replacing it with the following: “; or it has instituted against it a proceeding seeking a judgment of insolvency or bankruptcy or any other relief under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or other similar law affecting creditors’ rights, or a petition is presented for its winding-up or liquidation by a creditor and such proceeding is not dismissed, discharged, stayed or restrained in each case within fifteen (15) days of the institution or presentation thereof.”

Alternative Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events:

 

If, in respect of the Transaction, an amount is payable by Party A to Party B, (i) pursuant to Sections 12.2, 12.3, 12.6, 12.7 or 12.9 of the Equity Definitions (except in the event of a Nationalization, Insolvency, Tender Offer or a Merger Event, in each case, in which the consideration to be paid to holders of Shares consists solely of cash) or (ii) pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (except in the event of an Event of Default in which Party B is the Defaulting Party or a Termination Event in which Party B is the Affected Party, in each case, that resulted from an event or events within Party B’s control) (a “Payment Obligation”), Party B shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to require Party A to satisfy any such Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative (as defined below) by giving irrevocable telephonic notice to Party A, confirmed in writing within one Currency Business Day, no later than 4:00 p.m. New York City time on the Merger Date, Tender Offer Date, Announcement Date, Early Termination Date or date of cancellation or termination for an Additional Disruption Event, as applicable (“Notice of Share Termination”).  Upon Notice of Share Termination the following provisions shall apply:

 

 

 

Share Termination Alternative:

 

Applicable and means that Party A shall deliver to Party B the Share Termination Delivery Property on the date when the Payment Obligation would otherwise be due pursuant to Section 12.7 or 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or Section 6(d)(ii) and 6(e) of the Agreement, as applicable, or such later date as the Calculation Agent may reasonably determine (the “Share Termination Payment Date”), in satisfaction of the Payment Obligation.

 

 

 

Share Termination Delivery Property:

 

A number of Share Termination Delivery Units, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the Payment Obligation divided by the Share Termination Unit Price. The Calculation Agent shall adjust the Share Termination Delivery Property by replacing any fractional portion of a security therein with an amount of cash equal to the value of such fractional security based on the values used to calculate the Share Termination Unit Price.

 

 

 

Share Termination Unit Price:

 

The value to Party A of property contained in one Share Termination Delivery Unit on the date such Share Termination Delivery Units are to be delivered as Share Termination Delivery Property, as reasonably determined by the Calculation Agent.

 

 

 

Share Termination Delivery Unit:

 

In the case of a Termination Event, Event of Default, Delisting or Additional Disruption Event, one Share or, in the case of Nationalization, Insolvency, 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 Nationalization, Insolvency, Merger Event or Tender Offer, as reasonably determined by the Calculation Agent. If a Share Termination Delivery Unit consists of property other than cash or New Shares and if Party B provides irrevocable written notice to the Calculation Agent on or prior to the Merger Date that it elects to have Party A deliver cash, New Shares or a combination thereof (in such proportion as Party B designates) in lieu of such other property, the Calculation Agent will replace such property with cash, New Shares or a combination thereof as

 

9




 

 

components of a Share Termination Delivery Unit in such amounts, as reasonably determined by the Calculation Agent, as shall have a value equal to the value of the property so replaced.  If such Nationalization, Insolvency, Merger Event or Tender Offer involves a choice of consideration to be received by holders, such holder shall be deemed to have elected to receive the maximum possible amount of cash.

 

 

 

Other Applicable Provisions:

 

If the Transaction is to be Share Termination Settled, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.11 and 9.12 (as modified above) of the Equity Definitions will be applicable, except that all references in such provisions to “Physically-settled” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Settled” and all references to “Shares” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Delivery Units”. “Share Termination Settled” in relation to the Transaction means that the Share Termination Alternative set forth above is applicable to the Transaction.

 

 

 

Payments on Early Termination:

 

Party A and Party B agree that for the Transaction, for the purposes of Section 6(e) of the Agreement, Loss and the Second Method will apply.

 

 

 

No Set-Off or Netting:

 

Obligations under this Transaction shall not be netted, recouped or set off (including pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement) against any other obligations of the parties, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation, under any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise, and no other obligations of the parties shall be netted, recouped or set off (including pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement) against obligations under this Transaction, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation, under any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise, and each party hereby waives any such right of setoff, netting or recoupment.

 

 

 

Bankruptcy Code Acknowledgments:

 

The parties agree and acknowledge that (i) this Confirmation is of a type set forth in Section 561(a)(1)–(5) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”); (ii) Party A is a “master netting agreement participant,” a “financial institution,” a “financial participant,” a “forward contract merchant” and a “swap participant” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code; (iii) the remedies provided herein are the remedies referred to in Section 561(a), Sections 362(b)(6), (7), (17) and (27), and Section 362(o) of the Bankruptcy Code; (iv) all transfers of cash, securities or other property under or in connection with this Confirmation are “transfers” made “by or to (or for the benefit of)” a “master netting agreement participant,” a “financial institution,” a “financial participant,” a “forward contract merchant” or a “swap participant” (each as defined in the Bankruptcy Code) within the meaning of Sections 546(e), (f), (g) or (j) of the Bankruptcy Code; and (v) all obligations under or in connection with this Confirmation represent obligations in respect of “termination values,” “payment amounts” or “other transfer obligations” within the meaning of Sections 362, 560 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

 

 

Early Unwind:

 

In the event the sale of Convertible Notes is not consummated with the initial purchasers thereof for any reason, other than as a result of

 

10




 

 

a breach by Party A, by the close of business in New York on April 23, 2007 (or such later date as agreed upon by the parties) (April 23, 2007 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 (i) the Transaction and all of the respective rights and obligations of Party A and Party B under the Transaction shall be cancelled and terminated and (ii) 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; provided that Party B shall purchase from Party A on the Early Unwind Date all Shares purchased by Party A or one or more of its affiliates in connection with hedging the Transaction or reimburse the costs and expenses (including market losses) relating to reselling those Shares to unwind its hedge positions, and will assume, or reimburse the cost of unwinding, any and all derivatives entered into by Party A or one or more of its affiliates in connection with hedging the Transaction. The purchase price paid by Party B shall be Party A’s actual cost of such Shares and derivatives as Party A informs Party B and shall be paid in immediately available funds on the Early Unwind Date. Party A and Party B represent and acknowledge to the other that, subject to the proviso included in the preceding sentence, upon an Early Unwind, all obligations with respect to the Transaction shall be deemed fully and finally discharged.

 

 

 

Right to Extend:

 

Party A may extend, for as long as it is reasonably necessary, any Settlement Date or any other date of delivery by Party A, with respect to some or all of the Options hereunder, if Party A reasonably and in good faith determines, upon the reasonable advice of counsel, that such extension is reasonably necessary to enable Party A to effect purchases of Shares in connection with the related settlement or delivery hereunder in a manner that would, if Party A were Party B or an affiliated purchaser of Party B, be in compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Party B shall (i) on any day on which Party B effects any repurchase of Shares (other than a repurchase effected through Party A or its Affiliates), promptly give Party A a written notice of such repurchase (a “Third Party Repurchase Notice”) on such day if following such repurchase, the Options Equity Percentage as determined on such day is (i) greater than 8.0% and (ii) greater by 0.5% or more than the Options Equity Percentage included in the immediately preceding Third Party Repurchase Notice (or, in the case of the first such Third Party Repurchase Notice, greater than the Options Equity Percentage as of the date hereof) and (ii) on any day on which Party B effects any repurchase of Shares through Party A or its Affiliates, promptly give Party A a written notice of the number of Shares outstanding on such day (a “Party A Repurchase Notice”) if such number is lower by 0.5% or more than the number of outstanding Shares included in the immediately preceding Party A Repurchase Notice (or, in the case of the first such Party A Repurchase Notice, 182,420,466 Shares) reduced by the number of Shares repurchased through Party A or its Affiliates since the

immediately preceding Party A Repurchase Notice. The “Options Equity Percentage” as of any day is the fraction (A) the numerator of which is the Number of Shares and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day.  Party B agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Party A and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, advisors, agents and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all losses (including losses relating to Party A’s hedging activities as a consequence of becoming, or of the risk of becoming, a Section 16 “insider”, including without limitation, any forbearance from hedging activities or cessation of hedging activities and any losses in connection therewith with respect to the Transaction), claims, damages, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), joint or several, which an Indemnified Person may become subject to, as a result of Party B’s failure to provide Party A with a Third Party Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this paragraph, and to reimburse, within 30 days, upon written request, each of such Indemnified Persons for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing for, providing testimony or other evidence in connection with or defending any of the foregoing.  If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against the Indemnified Person, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Party B in writing, and Party B, upon request of the Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others Party B may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding.  Party B 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, Party B agrees to indemnify any Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.  Party B 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 Party B, 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.

Staggered Settlement:

 

If Party A reasonably and in good faith determines that, pursuant to applicable legal and regulatory requirements or due to insufficient liquidity in the borrow market for the Shares, it would not be permitted or it would not be practicable or advisable to deliver, or to acquire Shares to deliver, any or all of the Shares to be delivered by Party A on the Settlement Date, Party A may, by notice to Party B prior to any Settlement Date (a “Nominal Settlement Date”), elect to deliver the 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, Party A will specify to Party B the related Staggered Settlement Dates (each of which will be on or prior to such Nominal Settlement Date) or delivery times and how it will allocate the Shares it is required to deliver under “Settlement Obligation” (above) among the Staggered Settlement Dates or delivery times; and

 

 

 

 

 

(ii) the aggregate number of Shares that Party A will deliver to Party B hereunder on all such Staggered Settlement Dates and delivery times will equal the number of Shares that Party A would otherwise be required to deliver on such Nominal Settlement Date.

 

 

 

Registration:

 

Party B hereby agrees that if, in the good faith reasonable judgment of Party A, upon the reasonable advice of counsel, the Shares (“Hedge Shares”) acquired by Party A for the purpose of hedging its obligations pursuant to the Transaction cannot be sold in the public market by Party A without registration under the Securities Act, Party B shall, at its election, either (i) in order to allow Party A to sell the Hedge Shares in a registered offering, make available to Party A an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and enter into an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Party A, substantially in the form of an underwriting agreement; provided, however, that if Party A, in its judgment, upon the reasonable advice of counsel, is not satisfied with access to due diligence materials, the results of its due diligence investigation, or the procedures and documentation for the registered offering referred to above, then clause (ii) or clause (iii) of this section shall apply at the election of Party B, (ii) in order to allow Party A to sell the Hedge Shares in a private placement, enter into and comply with a private placement agreement substantially similar to private placement purchase agreements customary for private placements of equity securities, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Party A (in which case, the Calculation Agent shall make any adjustments to the terms of the Transaction that are necessary, in its reasonable judgment, to compensate Party A 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 Party A at the VWAP Price on such Exchange Business Days, and in the amounts, requested by Party A.
