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.  In the event of any inconsistency between either set of Definitions and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will govern.  For purposes of the Equity

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 Net Share Settlement is applicable to the Transaction.

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

 

If, in respect of the Transaction, an amount is payable by Party B to Party A, (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 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 B shall deliver to Party A 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 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 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.

 

 

 

Additional Termination Events:

 

If at any time Party A reasonably and in good faith determines, upon the reasonable advice of counsel, that it is advisable to terminate a portion of the Transaction so that Party A’s related hedging activities will comply with applicable securities laws, rules or regulations, 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

(b) Party A (or an Affiliate of Party A designated by Party A) and the Issuer shall enter into an agreement (a “Registration Agreement”) on commercially reasonable terms in connection with the public resale of such Delivered Securities by Party A or such Affiliate substantially similar to underwriting agreements customary for underwritten offerings of equity securities, in form and substance commercially reasonably satisfactory to Party A or such Affiliate and the 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, Party A and its Affiliates and the Issuer, shall provide for the payment by the Issuer of all expenses in connection with such resale, including all registration costs and all fees and expenses of counsel for Party A, and shall provide for the delivery of accountants’ “comfort letters” to Party A or such Affiliate with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information contained in or incorporated

(b) Party A (or an Affiliate of Party A designated by Party A) and any potential institutional purchaser of any such Delivered Securities from Party A or such Affiliate identified by Party A shall be afforded a commercially reasonable opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation in compliance with applicable law with respect to the Issuer customary in scope for private placements of equity securities;

 

 

 

 

 

(c) Party A (or an Affiliate of Party A designated by Party A) and the 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 the Issuer to Party A or such Affiliate and the private resale of such shares by Party A or such Affiliate, substantially similar to private placement purchase agreements customary for private placements of equity securities, in form and substance commercially reasonably satisfactory to Party A and the Issuer, which Private Placement Agreement shall include, without limitation, provisions substantially similar to those contained in such private placement purchase agreements relating to the indemnification of, and contribution in connection with the liability of, Party A and its Affiliates and the Issuer, shall provide for the payment by the Issuer of all expenses in connection with such resale, including all fees and expenses of counsel for Party A, shall contain representations, warranties and agreements of the Issuer reasonably necessary or, based upon the reasonable advice of counsel, advisable to establish and maintain the availability of an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act for such resales, and shall provide for the delivery of accountants’ “comfort letters” to Party A 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 Delivered Securities;

 

 

 

 

 

(d) Party B agrees that any Delivered Securities so delivered to Party A or its Affiliates, (i) unless otherwise prohibited by law, may be transferred by and among Party A and its Affiliates, and the Issuer shall effect such transfer without any further action by Party A and (ii) after the minimum “holding period” within the meaning of Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act has elapsed with respect to such Delivered Securities, Issuer shall promptly remove, or cause the transfer agent for such Delivered Securities to remove, any legends referring to any such restrictions or requirements from such Delivered Securities upon delivery by Party A (or such Affiliate of Party A) to Issuer or such transfer agent of seller’s and broker’s representation letters customarily delivered by Party A 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 Party A (or such Affiliate of Party

A); and

 

 

 

 

 

(e) Party B shall be required to deliver an additional number of Delivered Securities so that the aggregate value of the 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 tradable upon receipt by Party A (the “Settlement Value”).

 

 

 

 

 

(For the avoidance of doubt, as used in this section only, the term “Issuer” shall mean the issuer of the relevant securities, as the context shall require.)

 

 

 

Make Whole Shares:

 

If (x) Party B elects to deliver Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to “Alternative Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events” above or (y) Party B makes the election described in clause (ii) under “Status of New Delivered Securities” above, then in either case Party A 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 Party A 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 amount of the Payment Obligation (in the case of clause (x), or in the case that both clause (x) and clause (y) apply) or the Settlement Value (in the case that only clause (y) applies) (such amount of the Payment Obligation or Settlement Value, as the case may be, the “Required Proceeds”). If any of such delivered Shares or Share Termination Delivery Units remain after such realized net proceeds exceed the Required Proceeds, Party A shall return such remaining Shares or Share Termination Delivery Units to Party B. If the Required Proceeds exceed the realized net proceeds from such resale, Party B shall transfer to Party A 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 market value of such Make- whole Shares, as determined by the Calculation Agent, on the last day of the Resale Period, 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. This provision shall be applied successively until the Additional Amount is equal to zero, subject to “Maximum Share Delivery” below.

 

 

 

Maximum Share Delivery:

 

Notwithstanding any provision of this Confirmation to the contrary, the number of Shares that may be delivered by Party B hereunder will be limited to the total Shares authorized but not outstanding, reduced by the total amount of Contingently Issuable Shares. In any event, the number of Shares that may be delivered by Party B hereunder shall not exceed two times the Number of Shares (as adjusted). If the number of Shares to be otherwise deliverable by Party B exceeds the limit in the preceding sentences, Party B will use its best efforts to obtain all necessary approvals to issue additional Shares to enable it to satisfy all obligations
