This master confirmation (this “Master Confirmation”), dated as of February 3, 2012 is intended to set forth certain terms and provisions of certain Transactions (each, a “Transaction”) entered into from time to time between Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch (“Seller” or “Deutsche”), with Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. acting as agent, and Marathon Petroleum Corporation (“Counterparty”). This Master Confirmation, taken alone, is neither a commitment by either party to enter into any Transaction nor evidence of a Transaction. The additional terms of any particular Transaction shall be set forth in (i) a Supplemental Confirmation in the form of Schedule A hereto (a “Supplemental Confirmation”), which shall reference this Master Confirmation and supplement, form a part of, and be subject to this Master Confirmation and (ii) a Supplemental Terms Notice in the form of Schedule B hereto (a “Supplemental Terms Notice”), which shall reference the relevant Supplemental Confirmation and supplement, form a part of and be subject to such Supplemental Confirmation. This Master Confirmation, each Supplemental Confirmation and the related Supplemental Terms Notice together shall constitute a “Confirmation” as referred to in the Agreement specified below.

Confidential


The definitions and provisions contained in the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “Equity Definitions”), as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc., are incorporated into this Master Confirmation. This Master Confirmation, each Supplemental Confirmation and the related Supplemental Terms Notice evidence a complete binding agreement between Counterparty and Seller as to the subject matter and terms of each Transaction to which this Master Confirmation and such Supplemental Confirmation and Supplemental Terms Notice relate and shall supersede all prior or contemporaneous written or oral communications with respect thereto.

This Master Confirmation, each Supplemental Confirmation and each Supplemental Terms Notice supplement, form a part of, and are subject to an agreement in the form of the 1992 ISDA Master Agreement (Multicurrency-Cross Border) (the “Agreement”) as if Seller and Counterparty had executed the Agreement on the date of this Master Confirmation (but without any Schedule except for the election of Loss and Second Method, New York law (without reference to its choice of laws doctrine other than Title 14 of Article 5 of the New York General Obligations Law) as the governing law and US Dollars (“USD”) as the Termination Currency).

The Transactions shall be the sole Transactions under the Agreement and shall not be “Specified Transactions” (or similarly treated) under any other agreement between the parties or their Affiliates. If there exists any ISDA Master Agreement between Seller and Counterparty or any confirmation or other agreement between Seller and Counterparty pursuant to which an ISDA Master Agreement is deemed to exist between Seller and Counterparty, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in such ISDA Master Agreement, such confirmation or agreement or any other agreement to which Seller and Counterparty are parties, the Transactions shall not be considered Transactions under, or otherwise governed by, such existing or deemed ISDA Master Agreement and any Event of Default or Termination Event of any Transaction or the Agreement shall not, by itself, give rise to any right or obligation under any such other agreement or deemed agreement.

All provisions contained or incorporated by reference in the Agreement shall govern this Master Confirmation, each Supplemental Confirmation and each Supplemental Terms Notice except as expressly modified herein or in the related Supplemental Confirmation.

If, in relation to any Transaction to which this Master Confirmation, a Supplemental Confirmation and a Supplemental Terms Notice relate, there is any inconsistency between the Agreement, this Master Confirmation, the relevant Supplemental Confirmation, the relevant Supplemental Terms Notice and the Equity Definitions, the following will prevail for purposes of such Transaction in the order of precedence indicated: (i) such Supplemental Terms Notice, (ii) such Supplemental Confirmation; (iii) this Master Confirmation; (iv) the Agreement; and (v) the Equity Definitions.

        Termination Date:

For each Transaction, the Scheduled Termination Date; provided that Seller shall have the right, from time to time, to designate any Exchange Business Day (which shall not be after the Scheduled Termination Date) on or after the First Acceleration Date to be a Termination Date (the “Accelerated Termination Date”) with respect to all, or any portion that is at least $850 million, of the Prepayment Amount for such Transaction by delivering notice to Counterparty of any such designation prior to 11:59 p.m. New York City time on the Exchange Business Day immediately following the designated Accelerated Termination Date.

 

        Scheduled Termination Date:

For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation, subject to postponement as provided in “Valuation Disruption” below.

 

        First Acceleration Date:

For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation.

 

        Valuation Disruption:

The definition of “Market Disruption Event” in Section 6.3(a) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the words “at any time during the one-hour period that ends at the relevant Valuation Time, Latest Exercise Time, Knock-in Valuation Time or Knock-out Valuation Time, as the case may be” and inserting the words “at any time on any Scheduled Trading Day during the Hedge Period, Calculation Period, Share Termination Valuation Period or Settlement Valuation Period” after the word “material,” in the third line thereof.

 

  Section 6.3(d) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the remainder of the provision following the term “Scheduled Closing Time” in the fourth line thereof.

 

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Equity Definitions, if a Disrupted Day occurs (i) in the Hedge Period or the Calculation Period, the Calculation Agent may, in its good faith and commercially reasonable discretion, postpone any one or more of the Hedge Period End Date and the Scheduled Termination Date (but in no event more than 9 Scheduled Trading Days in the aggregate, in which case an Additional Termination Event shall

occur as set forth below), or (ii) in the Share Termination Valuation Period or the Settlement Valuation Period, the Calculation Agent may extend the Share Termination Valuation Period or Settlement Valuation Period (but in no event more than 9 Scheduled Trading Days in the aggregate, in which case an Additional Termination Event shall occur as set forth below). The Calculation Agent may, in its good faith and commercially reasonable discretion, determine whether (i) such Disrupted Day is a Disrupted Day in full, in which case the VWAP Price or value of Share Termination Delivery Units, as applicable, for such Disrupted Day shall not be included for purposes of determining the Hedge Price, the Forward Price, Share Termination Unit Price or the Settlement Price, as the case may be, or (ii) such Disrupted Day is a Disrupted Day only in part, in which case (x) the VWAP Price or value of Share Termination Delivery Units, as applicable, for such Disrupted Day shall be determined by the Calculation Agent based on Rule 10b-18 eligible transactions in the Shares or based on transactions in the Share Termination Delivery Units, as applicable, on such Disrupted Day taking into account the nature and duration of such Market Disruption Event and (y) in the case of a Disrupted Day during the Calculation Period or a Settlement Valuation Period, the Calculation Agent shall determine any Forward Price or Settlement Price based on an appropriately weighted average instead of the arithmetic average described in the definition thereof. Any Scheduled Trading Day on which the Exchange is scheduled to close prior to its normal close of trading shall be deemed to be a Disrupted Day in full.

 

  If as the result of the occurrence of one or more Disrupted Days during the Hedge Period, Calculation Period, Share Termination Valuation Period or Settlement Valuation Period, as applicable, the Calculation Agent has postponed any of the Hedge Period End Date, Scheduled Termination Date, Share Termination Valuation Period or Settlement Valuation Period for 9 Scheduled Trading Days in accordance with the terms hereof, then such occurrence will constitute an Additional Termination Event, with Counterparty as the sole Affected Party and all Transactions hereunder as the Affected Transactions.

 

  Upon reasonable request of the Counterparty, the Calculation Agent shall promptly provide to the Counterparty the calculation of the VWAP Price, for each Disrupted Day and the inputs to such calculation. In no event will the Calculation Agent be required to disclose proprietary models or positions or any information in violation of applicable laws, regulations, policies (including self-regulatory policies) or contractual obligations.

(c) Each Transaction is being entered into pursuant to a publicly disclosed Share buy-back program and its Board of Directors has approved the use of one or more accelerated share repurchase transactions to effect the Share buy-back program.

(d) Without limiting the generality of Section 13.1 of the Equity Definitions, Counterparty acknowledges that Dealer is not making any representations or warranties with respect to the treatment of the Transaction under any accounting standards including, but not limited to, ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share, ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity.

(f) Counterparty shall report each Transaction to the extent required under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.

(h) As of the Trade Date, the Prepayment Date, the Initial Share Delivery Date, the Minimum Share Delivery Date and the Settlement Date for each Transaction, Counterparty is not, and 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 Counterparty would be able to purchase a number of Shares with a value equal to the Prepayment Amount in compliance with the laws of the jurisdiction of Counterparty’s incorporation.

(i) Counterparty is not, and after giving effect to any Transaction will not be, required to register as an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(j) Counterparty has not and will not enter into agreements similar to the Transactions described herein where any initial hedge period, calculation period, relevant period or settlement valuation period (each however defined) in such other transaction will overlap at any time (including as a result of extensions in such initial hedge period, calculation period, relevant period or settlement valuation period as provided in the relevant agreements) with any Relevant Period or, if applicable, any Settlement Valuation Period under this Master Confirmation. In the event that the initial hedge period, relevant period, calculation period or settlement valuation period in any other similar transaction overlaps with any Relevant Period or, if applicable, or Settlement Valuation Period under this Master Confirmation as a result of any postponement of the Scheduled Termination Date or extension of the Settlement Valuation Period pursuant to “Valuation Disruption” above, Counterparty shall promptly amend such transaction to avoid any such overlap.

(k) Counterparty received on or prior to the Trade Date a letter from Deutsche regarding FINRA Rule 5320 and does not object to the practices described in such letter.

4. Regulatory Disruption. In the event that Seller reasonably concludes, in its sole discretion upon the advice of counsel, that it is required under applicable laws or regulations to refrain from or decrease any market activity on any Scheduled Trading Day or Days during the Hedge Period, the Calculation Period or, if applicable, the Share Termination Valuation Period or the Settlement Valuation Period, Seller may by written notice to Counterparty elect to deem that a Market Disruption Event has occurred and will be continuing on such Scheduled Trading Day or Days.

5. 10b5-1 Plan. Counterparty represents, warrants and covenants to Seller that:

(a) Counterparty is entering into this Master Confirmation and each Transaction hereunder in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade the prohibitions of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act (“Rule 10b5-1”) or any other antifraud or anti-manipulation provisions of the federal or applicable state securities laws and that it has not entered into or altered and will not enter into or alter any corresponding or hedging transaction or position with respect to the Shares. Counterparty and Seller each acknowledges that it is the intent of the parties that each Transaction entered into under this Master Confirmation comply with the requirements of paragraphs (c)(1)(i)(A) and (B) of Rule 10b5-1 and each Transaction entered into under this Master Confirmation shall be interpreted to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c).

Counterparty represents and warrants that it has consulted with its own advisors as to the legal aspects of its adoption and implementation of this Master Confirmation, each Supplemental Confirmation and each Supplemental Terms Notice under Rule 10b5-1.

12


must be effected in accordance with the requirements for the amendment or termination of a “plan” as defined in Rule 10b5-1(c). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any such amendment, modification, waiver or termination shall be made in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade the prohibitions of Rule 10b-5, and no such amendment, modification or waiver shall be made at any time at which Counterparty or any officer, director, manager or similar person of Counterparty is aware of any material non-public information regarding Counterparty or the Shares.

6. Counterparty Purchases. Counterparty (or any “affiliated purchaser” as defined in Rule 10b-18) shall not, without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld, directly or indirectly purchase any Shares (including by means of a derivative instrument), listed contracts on the Shares or securities that are convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for Shares (including, without limitation, any Rule 10b-18 purchases of blocks (as defined in Rule 10b-18)) during any Relevant Period or, if applicable, the Share Termination Valuation Period or the Settlement Valuation Period; provided that Counterparty may, without the prior written consent of Seller, purchase Shares (i) from participants in the Counterparty’s equity compensation plans that occur or are deemed to occur in connection with the payment of any exercise price or in satisfaction of tax withholding obligations or otherwise in connection with the vesting and/or exercise of any equity awards, (ii) in privately negotiated, off-market transactions that do not constitute Rule 10b-18 purchases and do not exceed 5,000,000 shares in the aggregate and (iii) through Seller on any Exchange Business Day after the First Acceleration Date so long as the number of Shares purchased on such Exchange Business Day does not exceed the lesser of (x) 3% of the daily trading volume reported on the Exchange from the open of trading on the Exchange until 3:30 p.m. (New York time) and (y) 100,000 Shares.

7. Special Provisions for Merger Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Equity Definitions:

(a) Counterparty agrees that it:

(i) will not during the period commencing on the Trade Date through the end of the Relevant Period or, if applicable, the Share Termination Valuation Period or the Settlement Valuation Period for any Transaction make, or permit to be made, any public announcement (as defined in Rule 165(f) under the Securities Act) of any Merger Transaction or potential Merger Transaction unless such public announcement is made prior to the opening or after the close of the regular trading session on the Exchange for the Shares;

(ii) shall promptly (but in any event prior to the next opening of the regular trading session on the Exchange) notify Seller following any such announcement that such announcement has been made; and

(iii) shall promptly (but in any event prior to the next opening of the regular trading session on the Exchange) provide Seller with written notice specifying (i) Counterparty’s average daily Rule 10b-18 Purchases (as defined in Rule 10b-18) during the three full calendar months immediately preceding the announcement date that were not effected through Seller or its affiliates and (ii) the number of Shares purchased pursuant to the proviso in Rule 10b-18(b)(4) under the Exchange Act for the three full calendar months preceding the announcement date. Such written notice shall be deemed to be a certification by Counterparty to Seller that such information is true and correct. In addition, Counterparty shall promptly notify Seller of the earlier to occur of the completion of such transaction and the completion of the vote by target shareholders. Counterparty acknowledges that any such notice may cause the terms of any Transaction to be adjusted or such Transaction to be terminated; accordingly, Counterparty acknowledges that its delivery of such notice must comply with the standards set forth in Section 5 above.

(b) Upon the public announcement of any Merger Transaction, without prejudice to the provisions in Sections 12.2 or 12.3 of the Equity Definitions relating to the occurrence of a Merger Event or the announcement or occurrence of a Tender Offer or Section 8 below, Seller in its commercially reasonable discretion may (i) make adjustments to the terms of any Transaction, including, without limitation, the Scheduled Termination Date or the Forward Price Adjustment Amount, and/or suspend the Calculation Period, any Share Termination Valuation Period and/or any Settlement Valuation Period as the Calculation Agent determines appropriate to

 

13


account for the economic effect on the Transaction of such announcement or (ii) treat the occurrence of such public announcement as an Additional Termination Event with Counterparty as the sole Affected Party and the Transactions hereunder as the Affected Transactions and with the amount under Section 6(e) of the Agreement determined taking into account the fact that the Calculation Period or Settlement Valuation Period, as the case may be, had fewer Scheduled Trading Days than originally anticipated.

(b) “Acquisition Transaction Announcement” means (i) the announcement of an Acquisition Transaction, (ii) an announcement that Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries has entered into an agreement, a letter of intent or an understanding designed to result in an Acquisition Transaction, (iii) the announcement of the intention to solicit or enter into, or to explore strategic alternatives or other similar undertaking that may include, an Acquisition Transaction, or (iv) any other announcement that in the reasonable judgment of the Calculation Agent may result in an Acquisition Transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, announcements as used in the definition of Acquisition Transaction Announcement refer to any public announcement whether made by the Issuer or a third party.

(c) “Acquisition Transaction” means (i) any Merger Event (for purposes of this definition, the definition of Merger Event shall be read with the references therein to “100%” being replaced by “50%” and references to “50%” being replaced by “15%” and without reference to the clause beginning immediately following the definition of Reverse Merger therein to the end of such definition), Tender Offer (as modified in clause (i) of the proviso opposite the caption “Tender Offer” in Section 1 above) or Merger Transaction or any other transaction involving the merger of Counterparty with or into any third party, (ii) the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of Counterparty, (iii) a recapitalization, reclassification, binding share exchange or other similar transaction, (iv) any acquisition, lease, exchange, transfer, disposition (including by way of spin-off or distribution) of assets (including any capital stock or other ownership interests in subsidiaries) or other similar event by Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries where the aggregate consideration transferable or receivable by or to Counterparty or its subsidiaries exceeds 15% of the market capitalization of Counterparty and (v) any transaction in which Counterparty or its board of directors has a legal obligation to make a recommendation to its shareholders in respect of such transaction (whether pursuant to Rule 14e-2 under the Exchange Act or otherwise).

(iv) any market activities of Seller and its affiliates with respect to the Shares may affect the market price and volatility of the Shares, as well as the Forward Price and VWAP Price, each in a manner that may be adverse to Counterparty; and

(v) each Transaction is a derivatives transaction in which it has granted Seller an option; Seller may purchase shares for its own account at an average price that may be greater than, or less than, the price paid by Counterparty under the terms of the related Transaction.

10. Credit Support Documents. The parties hereto acknowledge that no Transaction hereunder is secured by any collateral that would otherwise secure the obligations of Counterparty herein or pursuant to the Agreement.

11. Delivery of Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Seller may, by prior notice to Counterparty, satisfy its obligation to deliver any Shares or other securities on any date due (an “Original Delivery Date”) by making separate deliveries of Shares or such securities, as the case may be, at more than one time on or prior to such Original Delivery Date, so long as the aggregate number of Shares and other securities so delivered on or prior to such Original Delivery Date is equal to the number required to be delivered on such Original Delivery Date.

12. Share Termination Alternative. If either party would owe the other party any amount pursuant to Article 12 of the Equity Definitions or Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (a “Payment Obligation”), Counterparty shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to satisfy or to require Seller to satisfy, as the case may be, any such Payment Obligation, in whole or in part, by the Share Termination Alternative (as defined below) by giving irrevocable telephonic notice to Seller, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day, no later than 9:30 A.M. New York City time on the Early Termination Date or date on which the Transaction is terminated (“Notice of Share Termination”); provided that if Seller would owe Counterparty the Payment Obligation and Counterparty does not elect to require Seller to satisfy such Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative in whole, Seller shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to elect to satisfy any portion of such Payment Obligation that Counterparty has not so elected by the Share Termination Alternative, notwithstanding Counterparty’s failure to elect or election to the contrary; and provided further that (A) Counterparty shall not have the right to so elect (but, for the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall have the right to so elect) in the event of (i) an Insolvency, a Nationalization, a Merger Event or a Tender Offer, 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 in which Counterparty is the Defaulting Party or a Termination Event in which Counterparty is the Affected Party, which Event of Default or Termination Event resulted from an event or events within Counterparty’s control and (B) Counterparty may only so elect if Counterparty represents and warrants to Seller in writing on the date it notifies Seller of its election that, as of such date, Counterparty is not aware of any material non-public information concerning Counterparty or the Shares and is so electing in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade compliance with the federal securities laws. Upon such Notice of Share Termination, the following provisions shall apply on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the Early Termination Date or date on which the Transaction is terminated with respect to the Payment Obligation or such portion of the Payment Obligation for which the Share Termination Alternative has been elected (the “Applicable Portion”):

 

Share Termination Alternative:

Applicable and means, if delivery pursuant to the Share Termination Alternative is owed by Seller, that Seller shall deliver to Counterparty the Share Termination Delivery Property on the date on which the Payment Obligation would otherwise be due pursuant to Article 12 of the Equity Definitions or Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, as applicable, or such later date as the Seller may reasonably determine (the “Share Termination Payment Date”), in satisfaction of the Payment Obligation or the Applicable Portion, as the case may be. If delivery pursuant to the Share Termination Alternative is owed by Counterparty, paragraphs 2 through 7 of Annex A shall apply as if such delivery were a settlement of the Transaction to which Net Share Settlement (as defined in Annex A) applied, the Cash Settlement Payment Date were the Early

 

16


 

Termination Date, the Forward Cash Settlement Amount were zero (0) minus the Payment Obligation (or the Applicable Portion, as the case may be) owed by Counterparty, and “Shares” as used in Annex A were replaced by “Share Termination Delivery Units.”

Share Termination Delivery

Property:

A number of Share Termination Delivery Units, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the Payment Obligation (or the Applicable Portion, as the case may be) 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:

Either (x) the value 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 or (y) an appropriately weighted average of the values of such property over a valuation period reasonably selected by Seller following the relevant Early Termination Date or date on which the Transaction is terminated (the “Share Termination Valuation Period”), at Seller’s election, in each case such value or average of values to be determined by the Calculation Agent by commercially reasonable means and notified by the Calculation Agent to the parties prior to the Share Termination Payment Date.

 

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 an Insolvency, Nationalization, Merger Event, Announcement Date or Tender Offer, one Share or a unit consisting of the number or amount of each type of property received by a holder of one Share (without consideration of any requirement to pay cash or other consideration in lieu of fractional amounts of any securities) in such Insolvency, Nationalization, Merger Event or Tender Offer. If such Insolvency, Nationalization, Merger Event or Tender Offer involves a choice of consideration to be received by holders, such holder shall be deemed to have elected to receive the maximum possible amount of cash.

 

Failure to Deliver:

Applicable

 

Other applicable provisions:

If Share Termination Alternative is applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.10, 9.11 (except that the Representation and Agreement contained in Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions shall be modified by excluding any representations therein relating to restrictions, obligations, limitations or requirements under applicable securities laws arising as a result of the fact that Counterparty is the issuer of the Shares or any portion of the Share Termination Delivery Units) and 9.12 of the Equity Definitions will be applicable as if “Physical Settlement” applied to the Transaction, except that all references to “Shares” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Delivery Units”.

13. Calculations and Payment Date upon Early Termination. The parties acknowledge and agree that in calculating Loss pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement Seller may (but need not) determine losses without reference to actual losses incurred but based on expected losses assuming a commercially reasonable (including without limitation with regard to reasonable legal and regulatory guidelines) risk bid were used to determine loss to avoid awaiting the delay associated with closing out any hedge or related trading position in a commercially reasonable manner prior to or sooner following the designation of an Early Termination Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, all amounts calculated as being due in respect of an Early Termination Date under Section 6(e) of the Agreement will be payable on the day that notice of the amount payable is effective; provided that if Counterparty elects to receive Shares or Share Termination Delivery Units in

 

17


accordance with Section 14, such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Units shall be delivered on a date selected by Seller as promptly as practicable.

14. Automatic Termination Provisions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6 of the Agreement, if a Termination Price is specified in any Supplemental Confirmation, then an Additional Termination Event with Counterparty as the sole Affected Party and the Transaction to which such Supplemental Confirmation relates as the Affected Transaction will automatically occur without any notice or action by Seller or Counterparty if the closing price of the Shares on the Exchange for any two consecutive Exchange Business Days during the period from, but excluding, the Trade Date to, and including, the First Acceleration Date is below such Termination Price, and the second consecutive Exchange Business Day during such period on which the closing price of the Shares on the Exchange is below the Termination Price will be the “Early Termination Date” for purposes of the Agreement.

15. Delivery of Cash. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Master Confirmation shall be interpreted as requiring Counterparty to deliver cash in respect of the settlement of the Transactions contemplated by this Master Confirmation following payment by Counterparty of the relevant Prepayment Amount, except in circumstances where the required cash settlement thereof is permitted for classification of the contract as equity by ASC Topic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity as in effect on the relevant Trade Date (including, without limitation, where Counterparty so elects to deliver cash or fails timely to elect to deliver Shares or Share Termination Delivery Units in respect of the settlement of such Transactions).

16. Claim in Bankruptcy. Seller 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 in the event of Counterparty’s bankruptcy.

 

17. Agreements regarding the Supplemental Terms Notice. With respect to each Transaction,

(i) Counterparty accepts and agrees to be bound by the contractual terms and conditions as set forth in the Supplemental Terms Notice for the Transaction. Upon receipt of the Supplemental Terms Notice, Counterparty shall promptly execute and return the Supplemental Terms Notice to Seller; provided that Counterparty’s failure to so execute and return the Supplemental Terms Notice shall not affect the binding nature of the Supplemental Terms Notice, and the terms set forth therein shall be binding on Counterparty to the same extent, and with the same force and effect, as if Counterparty had executed a written version of the Supplemental Terms Notice.

(iii) Counterparty and Seller further agree and acknowledge that this Master Confirmation, as supplemented by any Supplemental Confirmation and the related Supplemental Terms Notice, constitutes a contract “for the sale or purchase of a security”, as set forth in Section 8-113 of the Uniform Commercial Code of New York.

Electing Party:

Counterparty

 

Settlement Method Election Date:

The earlier of (i) the Scheduled Termination Date and (ii) the second Exchange Business Day immediately following the Accelerated Termination Date (in which case the election under Section 7.1 of the Equity Definitions shall be made no later than 10 minutes prior to the open of trading on the Exchange on such second Exchange Business Day), as the case may be.

1


Cash Settlement Payment Date:

The date one Settlement Cycle following the last day of the Settlement Valuation Period.

 

Net Share Settlement Procedures:

If Net Share Settlement is applicable, Net Share Settlement shall be made in accordance with paragraphs 2 through 7 below.

2. Net Share Settlement shall be made by delivery on the Cash Settlement Payment Date of a number of Shares satisfying the conditions set forth in paragraph 3 below (the “Registered Settlement Shares”), or a number of Shares not satisfying such conditions (the “Unregistered Settlement Shares”), in either case with a value equal to the absolute value of the Forward Cash Settlement Amount, with such Shares’ value based on the value thereof to Seller (which value shall, in the case of Unregistered Settlement Shares, take into account a commercially reasonable illiquidity discount), in each case as determined by the Calculation Agent.

3. Counterparty may only deliver Registered Settlement Shares pursuant to paragraph 2 above if:

(a) a registration statement covering public resale of the Registered Settlement Shares by Seller (the “Registration Statement”) shall have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act and been declared or otherwise become effective on or prior to the date of delivery, and no stop order shall be in effect with respect to the Registration Statement; a printed prospectus relating to the Registered Settlement Shares (including any prospectus supplement thereto, the “Prospectus”) shall have been delivered to Seller, in such quantities as Seller shall reasonably have requested, on or prior to the date of delivery;

(b) the form and content of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (including, without limitation, any sections describing the plan of distribution) shall be satisfactory to Seller;

(c) as of or prior to the date of delivery, Seller and its agents shall have been afforded a reasonable opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation with respect to Counterparty customary in scope for underwritten offerings of equity securities and the results of such investigation are satisfactory to Seller, in its discretion; and

(d) as of the date of delivery, an agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) shall have been entered into with Seller in connection with the public resale of the Registered Settlement Shares by Seller substantially similar to underwriting agreements customary for underwritten offerings of equity securities, in form and substance satisfactory to Seller, which Underwriting Agreement shall include, without limitation, provisions substantially similar to those contained in such underwriting agreements relating, without limitation, to the indemnification of, and contribution in connection with the liability of, Seller and its affiliates and the provision of customary opinions, accountants’ comfort letters and lawyers’ negative assurance letters.

4. If Counterparty delivers Unregistered Settlement Shares pursuant to paragraph 2 above:

(a) all Unregistered Settlement Shares shall be delivered to Seller (or any affiliate of Seller designated by Seller) pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 4(2) thereof;

(b) as of or prior to the date of delivery, Seller and any potential purchaser of any such shares from Seller (or any affiliate of Seller designated by Seller) identified by Seller shall be afforded a commercially reasonable opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation with respect to Counterparty customary in scope for private placements of equity securities (including, without limitation, the right to have made available to them for

 

2


inspection all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and other information reasonably requested by them);

(c) as of the date of delivery, Counterparty shall enter into an agreement (a “Private Placement Agreement”) with Seller (or any affiliate of Seller designated by Seller) in connection with the private placement of such shares by Counterparty to Seller (or any such affiliate) and the private resale of such shares by Seller (or any such affiliate), substantially similar to private placement purchase agreements customary for private placements of equity securities, in form and substance commercially reasonably satisfactory to Seller, which Private Placement Agreement shall include, without limitation, provisions substantially similar to those contained in such private placement purchase agreements relating, without limitation, to the indemnification of, and contribution in connection with the liability of, Seller and its affiliates and the provision of customary opinions, accountants’ comfort letters and lawyers’ negative assurance letters, and shall provide for the payment by Counterparty of all fees and expenses of Seller (or an affiliate thereof) in connection with such resale, including all fees and expenses of counsel for Seller, and shall contain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Counterparty 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

(d) in connection with the private placement of such shares by Counterparty to Seller (or any such affiliate) and the private resale of such shares by Seller (or any such affiliate), Counterparty shall, if so requested by Seller, prepare, in cooperation with Seller, a private placement memorandum in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller

5. Seller, itself or through an affiliate (the “Selling Agent”) or any underwriter(s), will sell all, or such lesser portion as may be required hereunder, of the Registered Settlement Shares or Unregistered Settlement Shares and any Makewhole Shares (as defined below) (together, the “Settlement Shares”) delivered by Counterparty to Seller pursuant to paragraph 6 below commencing on the Cash Settlement Payment Date and continuing until the date on which the aggregate Net Proceeds (as such term is defined below) of such sales, as determined by Seller, is equal to the absolute value of the Forward Cash Settlement Amount (such date, the “Final Resale Date”). If the proceeds of any sale(s) made by Seller, the Selling Agent or any underwriter(s), net of any fees and commissions (including, without limitation, underwriting or placement fees) customary for similar transactions under the circumstances at the time of the offering, together with carrying charges and expenses incurred in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares (including, but without limitation to, the covering of any over-allotment or short position (syndicate or otherwise)) (the “Net Proceeds”) exceed the absolute value of the Forward Cash Settlement Amount, Seller will refund, in USD, such excess to Counterparty on the date that is three (3) Currency Business Days following the Final Resale Date, and, if any portion of the Settlement Shares remains unsold, Seller shall return to Counterparty on that date such unsold Shares.

6. If the Calculation Agent determines that the Net Proceeds received from the sale of the Registered Settlement Shares or Unregistered Settlement Shares or any Makewhole Shares, if any, pursuant to this paragraph 6 are less than the absolute value of the Forward Cash Settlement Amount (the amount in USD by which the Net Proceeds are less than the absolute value of the Forward Cash Settlement Amount being the “Shortfall” and the date on which such determination is made, the “Deficiency Determination Date”), Counterparty shall on the Exchange Business Day next succeeding the Deficiency Determination Date (the “Makewhole Notice Date”) deliver to Seller, through the Selling Agent, a notice of Counterparty’s election that Counterparty shall either (i) pay an amount in cash equal to the Shortfall on the day that is one (1) Currency Business Day after the Makewhole Notice Date, or (ii) deliver additional Shares. If Counterparty elects to deliver to Seller additional Shares, then Counterparty shall deliver additional Shares in compliance with the terms and conditions of paragraph 3 or paragraph 4 above, as the case may be (the “Makewhole Shares”), on the first Clearance System Business Day which is also an Exchange Business Day following the Makewhole Notice Date in such number as the Calculation Agent reasonably believes would have a market value on that Exchange Business Day equal to the Shortfall. Such Makewhole Shares shall be sold by Seller in accordance with the provisions above; provided that if the sum of the Net Proceeds from the sale of the originally delivered Shares and the Net Proceeds from the sale of any Makewhole Shares is less than the absolute value of the Forward Cash Settlement Amount then Counterparty shall, at its election, either make such cash payment or deliver to Seller further Makewhole Shares until such Shortfall has been reduced to zero.

 

3


7. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the aggregate number of Settlement Shares and Makewhole Shares be greater than the Reserved Shares minus the amount of any Shares actually delivered by Counterparty under any other Transaction(s) under this Master Confirmation (the result of such calculation, the “Capped Number”). Counterparty represents and warrants (which shall be deemed to be repeated on each day that a Transaction is outstanding) that the Capped Number is equal to or less than the number of Shares determined according to the following formula:

A – B

 

   Where    A = the number of authorized but unissued shares of the Counterparty that are not reserved for future issuance on the date of the determination of the Capped Number; and
      B = the maximum number of Shares required to be delivered to third parties if Counterparty elected Net Share Settlement of all transactions in the Shares (other than Transactions in the Shares under this Master Confirmation) with all third parties that are then currently outstanding and unexercised.

Reserved Shares” means initially, 14,000,000 Shares. The Reserved Shares may be increased or decreased in a Supplemental Confirmation.

Dear Valued Client,

As you may know, FINRA and certain NYSE exchanges have adopted a substantially identical Rule 5320 (the “Rule”) to consolidate, update and simplify existing rules relating to customer priority, parity and precedence. We provide this letter to provide you with information regarding certain DBSI trading practices in relation to the Rule.

Subject to our best execution obligations and rules relating to customer priority, parity and precedence, your open orders may not receive priority over principal orders handled by DBSI, unless you instruct us in writing to the contrary. There are various instances in which your orders may be handled in this manner. For instance, where we have committed capital in connection with market making activities and we have taken on as principal the risk of such position, we may trade entirely or partially out of our risk at prices which could satisfy your orders. Or, we may engage in bona-fide hedging activities at prices that may satisfy your orders.

There may be other cases in which your orders may be handled in this manner. For instance, where we use trading algorithms to execute principal orders, the algorithm may execute these orders at prices which could satisfy your open orders, for reasons having nothing to do with whether the orders were principal orders or customer orders (e.g. time of order entry, specific algorithm strategy, order parameters such as urgency of execution, or any combination of these). Likewise, in instances in which you instruct us to use our discretion in executing your order (for example, your instruction to work the order over the course of the day or subject to other parameters), we may execute principal orders at prices that would satisfy your orders.

In the event that you object to the practices described in this letter, please email us at ***@*** (with a period between “Rule” and “5320”) so that DBSI may act in accordance with such instruction. For the avoidance of doubt, if you so choose, you may instruct DBSI not to trade on a principal basis at prices that would satisfy your open orders being handled by the relevant trading unit. We may, however, take such an instruction into account when setting pricing terms for your transactions.

Finally, please note that DBSI has significant controls designed to prevent our trading units from obtaining knowledge of customer orders handled by other trading units. As such, subject to applicable rules, DBSI trading units other than the unit handling your order may trade on a principal basis at prices that would satisfy your order, even if you provide us with the instruction described in the preceding paragraph.

If you have any questions on the information in this letter, please do not hesitate to let us know. We seek to continue to earn your trust and business.
