The purpose of this letter agreement (this Confirmation) is to confirm the terms and conditions of the above-referenced transaction entered into among Counterparty, Dealer and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (the Agent) on the Trade Date specified below (the Transaction). This Confirmation constitutes a Confirmation as referred to in the Agreement specified below.
The definitions and provisions contained in the 2000 ISDA Definitions (the Swap Definitions) and the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the Equity Definitions and, together with the Swap Definitions, the Definitions), in each case as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc., are incorporated into this Confirmation. In the event of any inconsistency between the Swap Definitions and the Equity Definitions, the Equity Definitions will govern, and in the event of any inconsistency between the Definitions and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will govern. References herein to a Transaction shall be deemed to be references to a Share Option Transaction for the purposes of the Equity Definitions and to a Swap Transaction for the purposes of the Swap Definitions. For purposes of this Transaction, Warrant Style, Warrant Type, Number of Warrants and Warrant Entitlement (each as defined below) shall be used herein as if such terms were referred to as Option Style, Option Type, Number of Options and Option Entitlement, respectively, in the Definitions.
This Confirmation evidences a complete binding agreement between you and us as to the terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates. This Confirmation (notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein), shall be subject to, and form part of, an agreement in the 1992 form of the ISDA Master Agreement (the Master Agreement or Agreement) as if we had executed an agreement in such form (but without any Schedule and with elections specified in the ISDA Master Agreement Section of this Confirmation) on the Trade Date. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of that Agreement and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will prevail for the purpose of this Transaction. The parties hereby agree that the Transaction evidenced by this Confirmation shall be the only Transaction subject to and governed by the Agreement.
The terms of the particular Transaction to which this Confirmation relates are as follows:

Valuation: | ||
Valuation Dates: | Each Exercise Date | |
Settlement Terms: | ||
Settlement Price: | For each Valuation Date, the Rule 10b-18 Dollar Volume Weighted Average Price of the Shares (VWAP) calculated from 9:45 a.m. to 3:45 p.m., as observed under the heading Bloomberg VWAP on Bloomberg page MYL.N <equity> VAP (or any successor thereto) (or if such volume-weighted average price is unavailable, the market value of one Share on such Valuation Date, as determined by the Calculation Agent); provided that, if the scheduled weekday closing time of the Exchange for any Valuation Date is later than 4:00 p.m. (without regard to after hours or any other trading outside of the regular trading session hours) the VWAP shall be calculated for such Valuation Date from 9:45 a.m. until 15 minutes prior to such later closing time of the Exchange. | |

Settlement Method: | Net Physical Settlement only. | |
Net Physical Settlement: | Counterparty shall deliver to Dealer on the Settlement Date a number of Shares (the Delivered Shares) equal to the Share Delivery Quantity; provided that in the event that the number of Shares calculated comprises any fractional Share, only whole Shares shall be delivered and an amount in cash equal to the value of such fractional share shall be payable by the Counterparty to Dealer in lieu of such fractional Share. If, in the reasonable opinion of Dealer based on advice of counsel, for any reason, the Shares deliverable upon Net Physical Settlement |

would not be immediately freely transferable by Dealer under Rule 144(b)(1) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), then Dealer may elect to either (x) accept delivery of such Shares notwithstanding any restriction on transfer or (y) have the provisions set forth under Registration/Private Placement below apply, mutatis mutandis. | ||
Share Delivery Quantity: | For each Exercise Date, a number of Shares, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the Net Physical Settlement Amount for such Exercise Date divided by the Settlement Price on the Valuation Date in respect of such Exercise Date plus an amount in cash in lieu of any fractional shares (based on the applicable Settlement Price). | |
Net Physical Settlement Amount: | For any Exercise Date, an amount equal to the product of (i) the Number of Warrants being exercised on the relevant Exercise Date, (ii) the Strike Price Differential for such Exercise Date and (iii) the Warrant Entitlement. | |
Strike Price Differential: | For any Valuation Date, (i) if the Settlement Price is greater than the Strike Price, an amount equal to the excess of such Settlement Price over the Strike Price for such Valuation Date or (ii) if such Settlement Price is less than or equal to the Strike Price, zero. | |
Settlement Date: | Settlement with respect to each Exercise Date shall occur on the third (3rd) Full Exchange Business Day following the final Valuation Date; provided that Dealer shall have the right to request by prior written notice to Counterparty a Settlement Date with respect to any Exercise Date and the related Share Delivery Quantity that is three (3) Full Exchange Business Days following such Exercise Date. Such request shall not unreasonably be denied. | |
Limitations on Net Physical Settlement by Counterparty: | Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Agreement to the contrary, the number of Shares that may be delivered at settlement by Counterparty shall not exceed 44,268,971 Shares at any time, as adjusted by Calculation Agent to account for any subdivision, stock-split, stock combination, reclassification or similar dilutive or anti-dilutive event with respect to the Shares and as such number may be increased by operation of the provisions set forth below opposite the caption Increases in Maximum Deliverable Share Amount (Maximum Deliverable Share Amount). | |
Counterparty represents and warrants that the number of Available Shares as of the Trade Date is greater than the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount. Counterparty covenants and agrees that (i) Counterparty shall not take any action of corporate governance or otherwise to reduce the number of Available Shares below the Maximum Deliverable Share and (ii) Counterparty shall use its reasonable efforts to cause the number of Available Shares at all times to be greater than the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount. | ||
For this purpose, Available Shares means the number of Shares Counterparty currently has authorized (but not issued and outstanding) less the maximum number of Shares that may be required to be issued by Counterparty in connection with stock options, convertibles, and other commitments of Counterparty that may require the issuance or delivery of Shares in connection therewith (other than the Transaction and any amendment thereto or new confirmation evidencing the issuance by Counterparty to Dealer of additional warrants within 30 days of September 3, 2008). |
OTC Warrant Confirmation (2015)

Increases in Maximum Deliverable Share Amount: | Following the Trade Date, Counterparty agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts seek approval from its shareholders (including, without limitation, to seek such approval at its annual meeting of shareholders in 2009 and, if needed, the annual meeting of shareholders for each following calendar year) to increase the number of authorized but unissued Shares such that the number of Available Shares shall be equal to at least two times the Number of Warrants that remain unexercised (the 2x Condition). Upon Counterparty obtaining such approval for such an increase, the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount shall automatically increase to two times the aggregate Number of Warrants that remain unexercised. Counterparty further agrees that following the Trade Date and until the 2x Condition is satisfied, 70% of the increase in the number of authorized but unissued Shares and/or Shares that are held in treasury that results from any of the events described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) below shall be reserved solely for delivery in connection with the Transaction, and the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount shall be increased in each case by one-half of the number of such additional authorized but unissued Shares. Until the 2x Condition has been satisfied, Counterparty shall notify Buyer no later than the third Business Day of each month of the occurrence during the immediately preceding month of any of the events described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) below if the aggregate effect of such events would be to increase the number of additional but authorized Shares by at least 10,000 Shares (including the number of additional authorized but unissued Shares). In the event Counterparty shall not have delivered the full number of Shares otherwise deliverable under the Transaction as a result of the Limitations on Net Physical Settlement by Counterparty set forth above (the resulting deficit, the Deficit Shares), Counterparty shall be continually obligated to deliver, from time to time (and, for the avoidance of doubt, irrespective of any early termination or cancellation of the relevant Transaction or the expiration of the relevant Warrants) 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 Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries (including, without limitation, pursuant to the settlement or termination of any Share option or other derivative transactions) 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 such date which prior to the relevant date become no longer so reserved and (iii) Counterparty additionally authorizes any unissued Shares that are not reserved for other transactions. Until the full number of Deficit Shares has been delivered pursuant to this paragraph, Counterparty shall immediately notify Buyer of the occurrence of any 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. | |
Dividends: | ||
Dividends: | If at any time during the period from and including the Trade Date, to and including the date on which Counterparty has fully performed its obligations to deliver Shares hereunder, an ex-dividend date for a cash dividend occurs with respect to the Shares (an Ex-Dividend Date), and that dividend is different from the Regular Dividend on a per Share basis, then the Calculation Agent will, in its reasonable discretion, adjust the Strike Price, the Number of Warrants, the Daily Number of Warrants, the Warrant Entitlement and any other variable it deems appropriate to preserve the fair value of the Warrants after taking into account such |
OTC Warrant Confirmation (2015)
5
dividend and any corresponding adjustment to the Regular Dividend. | ||
Regular Dividend: | Initially USD $0.00 per Share per quarter in respect of the Shares. In the event that, in any quarter, a regular quarterly Ex-Dividend Date occurs for which the amount of the corresponding cash dividend is different (the New Dividend Amount) from the Regular Dividend or no Ex-Dividend Date occurs (in which case the New Dividend Amount shall be zero), then following the adjustment by the Calculation Agent pursuant to Dividends above, the Regular Dividend shall equal the New Dividend Amount. | |
Extraordinary Dividends: | Any dividend other than Regular Dividends. For the avoidance of doubt, if more than one Ex-Dividend Date occurs in a quarter, the Calculation Agent shall designate any cash dividend other than a Regular Dividend as an Extraordinary Dividend and will, in its reasonable discretion, adjust the Strike Price, the Number of Warrants, the Daily Number of Warrants, the Warrant Entitlement and any other variable it deems appropriate to preserve the fair value of the Warrants after taking into account such Extraordinary Dividend. | |
Adjustments: | ||
Method of Adjustment: | Calculation Agent Adjustment | |
Extraordinary Events: | ||
Consequences of Merger Events: | (a) Share-for-Share: Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment (b) Share-for-Other: Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination) | |
(c) Share-for-Combined: Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination); provided that the Calculation Agent may elect Component Adjustment for all or part of the Transaction. | ||
Tender Offer: Consequences of Tender Offers: | Applicable (a) Share-for-Share: Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment | |
(b) Share-for-Other: Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment | ||
(b) Share-for-Combined: Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment | ||
With respect to any Extraordinary Events hereunder, upon the occurrence of Cancellation and Payment in whole or in part, the parties agree that the amount to be paid, in accordance with the Equity Definitions, shall constitute a Transaction Early Termination Amount, subject to satisfaction by the payment or delivery of Shares or cash as set forth in the Early Termination section below. | ||
Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment: | If, in respect of any Merger Event to which Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment applies, the adjustments to be made in accordance with Section 12.2(e)(i) of the Equity Definitions would result in the Counterparty being different from the issuer of the Shares, then with respect to such Merger Event, as a condition precedent to the adjustments contemplated in Section 12.2(e)(i) of the |
OTC Warrant Confirmation (2015)

Equity Definitions, Dealer and the Counterparty shall, prior to the Merger Date, have entered into such documentation containing representations, warranties and agreements relating to securities law and other issues as requested by Dealer that Dealer has determined, in its reasonable discretion, to be reasonably necessary or appropriate to allow Dealer to continue as a party to the Transaction, as adjusted under Section 12.2(e)(i) of the Equity Definitions, and to preserve its hedging or hedge unwind activities in connection with the Transaction in a manner compliant with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer, and if such conditions are not met or if the Calculation Agent determines that no adjustment that it could make under Section 12.2(e)(i) of the Equity Definitions will produce a commercially reasonable result, then the consequences set forth in Section 12.2(e)(ii) of the Equity Definitions shall apply. | ||
Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting: | Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination) (subject to satisfaction by payment or delivery of Shares or cash as set forth in Early Termination below). In addition to the provisions of Section 12.6(a)(iii) of the Equity Definitions, it will also constitute a Delisting if the Exchange is located in the United States and the Shares are not immediately re-listed, re-traded or re-quoted on any of the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ Global Market or the NASDAQ Global Select Market (or their respective successors); if the Shares are immediately re-listed, re-traded or re-quoted on any such exchange or quotation system, such exchange or quotation system shall thereafter be deemed to be the Exchange. | |

Additional Agreements: | If Counterparty would be obligated to pay cash to Dealer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement due to an event or circumstance outside Counterpartys control (or, subject to Dealers consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, an event within Counterpartys control) without having had the right (other than pursuant to this paragraph) to elect to deliver Shares in satisfaction of such payment obligation, then Counterparty may elect to deliver to Dealer a number of Shares (whether registered or unregistered) having a cash value equal to the amount of such payment obligation. Such number of Shares to be delivered shall be the number of Shares, determined by the Calculation Agent, sufficient for Dealer to realize the cash equivalent of such payment obligation from proceeds of the sale of such number of Shares over a reasonable period of time taking into account any applicable discount (determined in a commercially reasonable manner) to reflect any restrictions on transfer as well as the market value of the Shares. Settlement relating to any delivery of Shares pursuant to this paragraph shall occur within a reasonable period of time. The number of Shares delivered pursuant to this paragraph shall not exceed the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount and shall be subject to the provisions under Registration/Private Placement hereof regarding Proceeds Amount and the provisions set forth in subsection (c) under Additional Agreements, Representations and Covenants of Counterparty, Etc. below. If the event giving rise to such payment obligation has resulted in holders of Shares receiving property (including cash) in exchange for Shares, then Counterparty shall satisfy its obligation pursuant to this paragraph by delivering such property; provided that if such event involves a choice of consideration, Dealer shall be entitled to receive the respective amounts of each type of property comprised in such consideration that holders of Shares in the aggregate are entitled to receive. | |
Early Termination: | Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, upon the designation of an Early Termination Date or the occurrence of Cancellation and Payment in whole or in part hereunder (except in the case of an Event of Default in which Counterparty is the Defaulting Party or a Termination Event in which Counterparty is the Affected Party, other than an (x) Event of Default of the type described in Section 5(a)(iii), (v), (vi) or (vii) of the Master Agreement or (y) a Termination Event of the type described in Section 5(b)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), or (v) of the Master Agreement that in the case of either (x) or (y) resulted from an event or events outside Counterpartys |

control), Counterpartys payment obligation in respect of this Transaction (the Transaction Early Termination Amount) may, at the option of Counterparty, be satisfied by the delivery of a number of Shares equal to the Transaction Early Termination Amount divided by the Termination Price (Early Termination Stock Settlement); provided, however, that Counterparty must notify Dealer of its election of Early Termination Stock Settlement by the close of business on the day that is two Exchange Business Days following the day that the notice designating the Early Termination Date, or notice that an Extraordinary Event has resulted in the cancellation or termination of the Transaction in whole or in part, is effective; provided further, however, that in no event shall Counterparty be required to deliver to Dealer a number of Shares greater than the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount. Termination Price means the market value per Share on the date that Shares are delivered in connection with such Early Termination Date, as determined by the Calculation Agent in a commercially reasonable manner taking into account any applicable discount to reflect any restrictions on transfer. | ||
A number of Shares calculated as being due in respect of any Early Termination Stock Settlement will be deliverable on the third Clearance System Business Day following the date that notice specifying the number of Shares deliverable is effective; provided that, if Counterparty is delivering Shares as a result of a Merger Event, Tender Offer, Nationalization or Insolvency, the Settlement Date for such delivery will be immediately prior to the effective date or settlement date for such event and Dealer shall be entitled to receive the type of consideration that a holder of Shares at such time would be entitled to receive (and references herein to Shares shall be deemed to refer to such consideration, as applicable); provided that if such event involves a choice of consideration, Dealer shall be entitled to receive the respective amounts of each type of property (including cash) comprised in such consideration that holders of Shares in the aggregate are entitled to receive. Section 6(d)(i) of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following words after the word paid in the fifth line thereof: or any delivery is to be made, as applicable. The number of Shares delivered pursuant Early Termination Stock Settlement shall not exceed the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount and shall be subject to the provisions under Registration/Private Placement hereof regarding Proceeds Amount and the provisions set forth in subsection (c) under Additional Agreements, Representations and Covenants of Counterparty, Etc. below. | ||
On or prior to the Early Termination Date or date on which notice that an Extraordinary Event has resulted in the cancellation or termination of the Transaction in whole or in part is effective, as applicable, if Early Termination Stock Settlement is elected and if so requested by Dealer upon advice of counsel, Counterparty shall comply with the provisions set forth below opposite the caption Registration/Private Placement. | ||
Registration/Private Placement: | If the provisions under this heading Registration/Private Placement apply, Counterparty shall (subject to its right to make the election described in the immediately succeeding paragraph) (A) afford Dealer a reasonable opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation with respect to Counterparty that is customary in scope for underwritten offerings of equity securities; (B) enter into a registration rights agreement with Dealer (a Registered Settlement) in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Dealer which agreement (Registration Rights Agreement) will contain among other things, reasonable customary representations and warranties and indemnification, restrictions on sales during blackout dates as provided for in the Registration Rights Agreement and shall satisfy the conditions contained therein; and (C) promptly file and use its |

commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the effectiveness a Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. If and when such Registration Statement shall have been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, Counterparty shall have made available to Dealer such Prospectuses as Dealer may reasonably request to comply with the applicable prospectus delivery requirements for the resale by Dealer of such number of Shares as Dealer shall specify (or, if greater, the number of Shares that Counterparty shall specify). Such Registration Statement shall be effective and Prospectus shall be current until the earliest of the date on which (i) all the Delivered Shares or Shares delivered by Counterparty in connection with an Early Termination Date, as the case may be, have been sold, (ii) Dealer has advised Counterparty that it no longer requires that such Registration Statement be effective, (iii) all remaining Shares could be sold by Dealer without registration pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (the Termination Registration Period) or (iv) Counterparty has provided a legal opinion of nationally recognized counsel reasonably acceptable to Dealer in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Dealer (with customary assumptions and exceptions) that the Shares issuable upon exercise of these Warrants will be freely tradable under the Securities Act upon delivery to MLI and not subject to any legend restricting transferability. It is understood that the Registration Statement and Prospectus will cover a number of Shares equal to the aggregate number of Shares (if any) reasonably estimated by Dealer to be potentially deliverable by Counterparty in connection with Net Physical Settlement or Early Termination Stock Settlement hereunder, as the case may be, but in no event exceeding the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount. On each day during the Termination Registration Period Counterparty shall represent that each of its filings under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other applicable securities laws that are required to be filed have been filed and that, as of the respective dates thereof and as of the date of this representation, they do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. | ||
In lieu of a Registered Settlement, Counterparty may elect, by notice to Dealer no later than the time the relevant delivery obligation is due , that this paragraph shall apply: |
(a) Counterparty shall afford Dealer and any potential institutional purchaser of any Shares identified by Dealer a reasonable opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation with respect to Counterparty that is customary in scope for private placements of equity securities subject to execution of any customary confidentiality agreements; | ||
(b) Counterparty shall enter into an agreement (a Private Placement Agreement) with Dealer on commercially reasonable terms in connection with the private placement of such Shares (including any additional Shares pursuant to clause (c) below) by Counterparty to Dealer or an 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 by a publicly reporting company (if Counterparty is a publicly reporting company at such time) to institutional purchasers, in form and substance commercially reasonably satisfactory to Dealer, which Private Placement Agreement shall include provisions relating to the indemnification of, and contribution in connection with the liability of, Dealer and its affiliates, shall provide for the payment by Counterparty of all expenses in |
OTC Warrant Confirmation (2015)
10
connection with such resale, including all reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel for Dealer, shall contain representations, warranties 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 shall use commercially reasonable 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; | ||
(c) Dealer shall sell the Delivered Shares or the Shares delivered by Counterparty in connection with Early Termination Stock Settlement, as the case may be, in a commercially reasonable manner until the amount received by Dealer for the sale of the Shares (the Proceeds Amount) is equal to the Net Physical Settlement Amount or the Transaction Early Termination Amount, as applicable. Any remaining delivered Shares shall be returned to Counterparty. If the Proceeds Amount is less than the Net Physical Settlement Amount or the Transaction Early Termination Amount, as applicable, Counterparty shall promptly deliver upon notice from Dealer additional Shares to Dealer until the dollar amount from the sale of such Shares by Dealer equals the difference between the Net Physical Settlement Amount or the Transaction Early Termination Amount, as applicable, and the Proceeds Amount. In no event shall Counterparty be required to deliver to Dealer a number of Shares greater than the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount. |
Notwithstanding the foregoing: (I) if Counterparty has elected to deliver Shares as described in paragraph (a) above and either (A) Counterparty does not provide for the sale of the Shares under the Registration Statement as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, (B) the due diligence investigation referred to in clause (A) of the second preceding paragraph does not yield a result reasonably satisfactory to Dealer, (C) some Shares cannot be registered under the Registration Statement due to Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act or (D) some Shares cannot be sold due to the application of a blackout period or the failure of the Registration Statement to become effective on or prior to the date on which the relevant delivery obligation is due, then the provisions of the preceding paragraph shall apply to the extent Counterparty has not satisfied its obligations hereunder. (II) If the preceding paragraph is applicable and Counterparty fails to satisfy its obligations under such paragraph, then Counterparty may deliver unregistered Shares of equivalent value to the Net Physical Settlement Amount or the Transaction Early Termination Amount, as applicable, (or, if applicable, the unsatisfied portion thereof). The value of any unregistered Shares so delivered shall be discounted to reflect an appropriate liquidity discount (determined by Dealer in a commercially reasonable manner, taking into account Dealers policies and determinations with respect to any transfer restrictions that Dealer deems it advisable, based on the advice of counsel, to observe in connection with sales of such Shares). (III) If some or all of the Delivered Shares or Shares delivered in connection with an Early Termination Stock Settlement, as applicable, cannot be used to close out stock loans in the shares of Counterparty entered into to establish or maintain short positions by Dealer in connection with this Transaction without a prospectus being required by applicable law to be delivered to such lender, then the value of any such Shares shall reflect the cost (determined by Dealer in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner) to Dealer of trading Shares in order to close out its hedge position if any, and the number of Shares required to be |
OTC Warrant Confirmation (2015)
11
delivered shall be adjusted accordingly. In no event shall Counterparty be required to (i) top-up the delivery in cash or (ii) deliver to Dealer a number of Shares greater than the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount. | ||
Compliance With Securities Laws: | Counterparty represents and agrees that it has complied, and will comply, in connection with this Transaction and all related or contemporaneous sales and purchases of Shares, with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, including, without limitation, Rule 10b-5 and 13e and Regulation M under the Exchange Act. | |
Each party acknowledges that the offer and sale of the Transaction to it is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof. Accordingly, each party represents and warrants to the other party that (i) it has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Transaction and is able to bear a total loss of its investment, (ii) it is an accredited investor as that term is defined in Regulation D as promulgated under the Securities Act and (iii) the disposition of the Transaction is restricted under this Confirmation, the Securities Act and state securities laws. | ||
Counterparty further represents and warrants that: | ||

[To be advised.] | ||
Agreement Regarding Shares: | Counterparty agrees that, in respect of any Shares delivered to Dealer, such Shares shall be, upon such delivery, duly and validly authorized, issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable and subject to no adverse claims of any other party. The issuance of such Shares does not and will not require the consent, approval, authorization, registration or qualification of any government authority, except such as shall have been obtained on or before the delivery date of any Shares or as may be required in connection with any Registration Statement filed with respect to any Shares. | |
Bankruptcy Rights: | In the event of Counterpartys bankruptcy, Dealers rights in connection with this Transaction shall not exceed those rights held by common shareholders. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that Dealers rights with respect to any other claim arising from this Transaction prior to Counterpartys bankruptcy shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be otherwise abridged or modified in connection herewith. | |
Set-Off: | Each party waives any and all rights it may have to set-off, whether arising under any agreement, applicable law or otherwise. | |
Transfer: | Neither party may transfer its rights or delegate its obligations under this Transaction without the prior written consent of the other party, except that Dealer, after payment in full of the Premium, may assign its rights and delegate its obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, to any other person (an Assignee) with the prior consent of the Counterparty (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). In addition, Dealer may assign and delegate its rights and obligations under this Transaction to any subsidiary of ML & Co. (the Assignee) by notice specifying the effective date of such transfer (Transfer Effective Date) and including an (i) executed acceptance and assumption by the Assignee of such rights and obligations; provided that (i) Counterparty will not, as a result of such transfer, be required to pay to the Assignee an amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii), or 6(e)) greater than the amount in respect of which Counterparty would have been required to pay to Dealer in the absence of such transfer; and (ii) the Assignee will not, as a result of such transfer, be required to withhold or deduct on account of a Tax under Section 2(d)(i) of the Agreement (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii), or 6(e)) an amount in excess of that which Dealer would have been required to withhold or deduct in the absence of such transfer, unless the Assignee would be required to make additional payments pursuant to Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement corresponding to such excess. | |
On the Transfer Effective Date, (a) Dealer shall be released from all obligations |
OTC Warrant Confirmation (2015)
13
and liabilities arising under this Transaction; and (b) the assigned and delegated rights and obligations under this Transaction shall cease to be a Transaction under the Agreement and shall be deemed to be a Transaction under an ISDA form of Master Agreement (Multicurrency-Cross Border) and Schedule substantially in the form of the Agreement but amended to reflect the name of the Assignee and the address for notices and any amended representations under Part 2 of the Agreement as may be specified in the notice of transfer. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to or from Counterparty, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities and otherwise to perform Dealers obligations in respect of this Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such performance. | ||
Indemnity: | Counterparty agrees to indemnify Dealer, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents and controlling parties (each such person being an Indemnified Party) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities, joint and several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject because of a breach of any representation or covenant hereunder, in the Agreement or any other agreement relating to the Agreement or Transaction and will reimburse Indemnified Party for all reasonable expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) as they are incurred in connection with the investigation of, preparation for, or defense of, any pending or threatened claim or any action or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto. Seller will not be liable under the foregoing Indemnity provision to the extent that any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense is found in a final judgment by a court to have resulted from Dealers gross negligence or willful misconduct. | |
Right to Extend: | Dealer may postpone, in whole or in part, any Expiration 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 Daily Number of Warrants with respect to one or more Expiration Dates) if Dealer determines, in its commercially reasonable judgment, that such extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate to preserve Dealers hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions or 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. |
Additional Agreements, Representations and Covenants of Counterparty, Etc.:
(a) | Counterparty hereby represents and warrants to Dealer, on each day from the Trade Date to and including the earlier of (i) October 7, 2008 and (ii) the date by which Dealer is able to initially complete a hedge of its position created by this Transaction, that: |
(1) | it will not, and will not permit any person or entity subject to its control to, bid for or purchase Shares during such period except pursuant to transactions or arrangements which have been approved by Dealer or an affiliate of Dealer; and | ||
(2) | it has publicly disclosed all material information necessary for it to be able to purchase or sell Shares in compliance with applicable federal securities laws. |

The Ownership Percentage as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the greater of (1) the number of Shares that Dealer and any of its affiliates subject to aggregation with Dealer for purposes of the beneficial ownership test under Section 13 of the Exchange Act and all persons who may form a group (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act but excluding any group formed for the affirmative purpose of changing or influencing control of the Issuer) with Dealer (collectively, Dealer Group) beneficially own (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act) without duplication on such day and (2) the number of shares that Dealer and all persons comprising part of the same acquiring person as Dealer beneficially own, as each such term is used in Counterpartys Rights Agreement between the Counterparty and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company dated as of August 22, 1996, as amended as of November 8, 1999, August 13, 2004, September 8, 2004, December 2, 2004 and December 19, 2005 (as so amended and as may be subsequently amended, supplemented or replaced from time to time, the Rights Agreement), on such day and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day. | |
If any delivery owed to Dealer hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, Counterpartys obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and Counterparty shall make such delivery as promptly as practicable after Dealer gives notice that such delivery would not result in the existence of an Excess Ownership Position. |
