      otherwise purchase in connection with this Transaction on such day.
 
       
 
      For each Valuation Disruption Day, CSI may, by written notice to Counterparty, extend the Price Adjustment Period or the Cash Settlement Pricing Period, as the case may be, by an additional Valuation Date; provided however, if the extension relates to clause (ii) in the paragraph immediately above, CSI shall not be required to communicate to Counterparty the reason for such extension in the written notice.
 
       
 
      If any Scheduled Trading Day is a Disrupted Day in the Price Adjustment Period or the Cash Settlement Pricing Period, as the case may be, the Calculation Agent may determine whether (i) such Disrupted Day is a Disrupted Day in full, in which case the Daily 10b-18 VWAP Price for such Disrupted Day may not be included for purposes of determining the Average Reference Price or the Cash Settlement Average Price, as applicable, or (ii) such Disrupted Day is a Disrupted Day only in part, in which case the Daily 10b-18 VWAP Price for such Disrupted Day may be determined by the Calculation Agent based on Rule 10b-18 eligible transactions in the Shares on such Disrupted Day effected before the relevant Market Disruption Event occurred and/or after the relevant Market Disruption Event ended, and the weighting of the Daily 10b-18 VWAP Price for the relevant Scheduled Trading Days during the Price Adjustment Period or the Cash Settlement Pricing Period, as the case may be, may be adjusted in a commercially reasonable manner by the Calculation Agent for purposes of determining the Average Reference Price or Cash Settlement Average Price, as applicable, with such adjustments based on, among other factors, the duration of any Market Disruption Event and the volume, historical trading patterns and price of the Shares. “Rule 10b-18 eligible transactions” shall mean trades that are reported during the period of time during which Counterparty could purchase the Shares under Rule 10b-18(b)(2) and are effected pursuant to the conditions of Rule 10b-18(b)(3), each under the Exchange Act (as defined below).
 
       
 
  Market Disruption Event:   Section 6.3(a) of the Definitions is hereby amended by replacing clause (ii) thereof in its entirety with the following: “(ii) an Exchange Disruption at any time prior to

5


 

         
 
      the relevant Valuation Time on the relevant Valuation Date, or” and inserting immediately following clause (iii) thereof the following: “; in each case that the Calculation Agent determines is material.”
 
       
 
  Cash Settlement:   If the Average Reference Price is greater than USD5.3733 per Share and Counterparty has not elected Net Share Settlement in accordance with provisions of “Net Share Settlement,” Cash Settlement shall apply, in which case Counterparty shall pay to CSI on the Cash Settlement Date an amount in cash equal to the Cash Settlement Amount.
 
       
 
  Cash Settlement Date:   The Exchange Business Day immediately following the last day of the Cash Settlement Pricing Period.
 
       
 
  Cash Settlement Amount:   The Counterparty Share Delivery Amount multiplied by the arithmetic average of the Daily 10b-18 VWAP Prices for each Valuation Date during the Cash Settlement Pricing Period (such average, the “Cash Settlement Average Price”).

The number of Valuation Dates so specified by CSI following receipt by CSI of the notice described in the Cash Settlement provision hereof, commencing on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the Price Adjustment Period Termination Date.

3.   Additional Provisions Regarding Share Settlement:
 
3.1   Upon (x) the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date in respect of the Transaction or (y) the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event that results in the cancellation or termination of the Transaction pursuant to Section 12.2, 12.3, 12.6 or 12.9 of the Definitions (any such event as described in clause (x) or (y) above, an “Early Termination Event”) (except, in the case of clause (y), an Extraordinary Event that is a Nationalization, Insolvency, 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), if one party would owe any amount to the other party pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement or any Cancellation Amount pursuant to Section 12.2, 12.3, 12.6 or 12.9 of the Definitions (any such amount, a “Payment Amount”), then on the date on which any Payment Amount is due, in lieu of any payment or delivery of such Payment Amount, Counterparty may elect, by prior written notice to CSI, that the party owing such amount shall deliver to the other party a number of Shares (or, in the case of a Merger Event, Tender Offer, Nationalization or Insolvency, a number of units, each comprising the number or amount of the securities or property that a hypothetical holder of one Share would receive in such Extraordinary Event (each such unit, an “Alternative Termination Delivery Unit” and, the securities or property comprising such unit, “Alternative Termination Property”)) with a value equal to the Payment Amount based on the market value of the Shares (or such Alternative Termination Property) as of the Early Termination Date or the date as of which the Cancellation Amount is determined, as the case may be, as determined by the Calculation Agent; provided that in determining the composition of any Alternative Termination Delivery Unit, if the relevant Extraordinary Event 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.

3.2   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, Counterparty acknowledges and agrees that, on any day, to the extent (but only to the extent) that transactions in Shares (or any other class of voting securities of Counterparty) would result in the ultimate parent entity of CSI directly or indirectly beneficially owning (as such term is defined for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) at any time on such day in excess of 9.0 % of the outstanding Shares or any other class of voting securities of Counterparty, (a) CSI shall not be obligated to deliver or receive any Shares to or from Counterparty, (b) Counterparty shall not be entitled to receive any Shares from CSI on such day, and (c) any purported receipt or delivery of Shares shall be void and have no effect.
 
    If, on any day, any delivery or receipt of Shares by CSI is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, the respective obligations of Counterparty and CSI to make or accept such receipt or delivery shall not be extinguished and such receipt or delivery shall be effected over time as promptly as practicable after CSI determines, in a commercially reasonable manner, that such receipt or delivery would not result in its ultimate parent entity directly or indirectly beneficially owning in excess of 9.0% of the outstanding Shares or any other class of voting securities of Counterparty.
 
3.3   Notwithstanding Section 9.11 of the Definitions, but subject to the last paragraph of this Section 3.3, the parties acknowledge that Shares delivered as part of Counterparty Share Delivery Amount or pursuant to this Section 3 may be Unregistered Shares. For the purposes hereof, “Unregistered Shares” means Shares that have not been registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or any state securities laws (“Blue Sky Laws”) or Shares that cannot otherwise be freely sold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of without registration under the Securities Act or under applicable Blue Sky Laws unless such sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition is made in a transaction exempt from or not subject to registration thereunder.
 
    Upon request by CS, Counterparty agrees to promptly remove, or cause to be removed, any legends referring to any transfer restrictions from such Unregistered Shares upon delivery by CS to Counterparty of a seller’s representation letter in the form customarily delivered by CS in connection with resales of restricted securities pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, each 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 CS, provided that CS has satisfied the holding period and other requirements of Rule 144.
 
    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, at the election of CS by notice to Counterparty no later than two Exchange Business Days prior to the Scheduled Termination Date (or in the case of an Accelerated Termination Date, no later than the time of designation thereof), any delivery of Shares by Counterparty as part of the Counterparty Share Delivery Amount or pursuant to this Section 3 shall comply with the terms of Annex A hereof.

4.   Additional Agreements of the Parties:
 
4.1   For the avoidance of doubt, the last sentence of the first paragraph of 6(e) of the Agreement shall not apply with respect to this Transaction.
 
4.2   CSI agrees that in the event of the bankruptcy of Counterparty, CSI shall not have rights or assert a claim that is senior in priority to the rights and claims available to the shareholders of the common stock of Counterparty; provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit CSI’s right to pursue remedies in the event of a breach by Counterparty of its obligations and agreements with respect to this Transaction; and provided further that in pursuing a claim against Counterparty in the event of a bankruptcy, insolvency or dissolution with respect to Counterparty, CSI’s rights hereunder shall rank on a parity with the rights of a holder of Shares enforcing similar rights under a contract involving Shares.
 
4.3   The parties acknowledge that this Transaction is not secured by any collateral that would otherwise secure the obligations of Counterparty hereunder.
 
4.4   The parties agree and acknowledge that CSI is a “financial institution,” “swap participant” and/or “financial participant” within the meaning of Sections 101(22), 101(53C) and 101(22A) of Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code) (the “Bankruptcy Code”). The parties hereto further agree and acknowledge (A) that this Confirmation is (i) a “securities contract,” as such term is defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code, with respect to which each payment and delivery hereunder is a “settlement payment,” as such term is defined in Section 741(8) of the Bankruptcy Code, and (ii) a “swap agreement,” as such term is defined in Section 101(53B) of the Bankruptcy Code, with respect to which each payment and delivery hereunder is a “transfer,” as such term is defined in Section 101(54) of the Bankruptcy Code, and (B) that CSI is entitled to the protections afforded by, among other sections, Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 546(e), 546(g), 555 and 560 of the Bankruptcy Code.
 
5.   Share Purchases:
 
5.1   Any purchases or sales of Shares by CS will be conducted independently of Counterparty. The timing of any CS purchases or sales of Shares, the number of Shares thus purchased or sold on any day, the price paid or received per Share for any CS purchases or sales of Shares and the manner in which any CS purchases or sales of Shares are made, including without limitation whether such CS purchases or sales are made on any securities exchange or privately, shall be within the sole discretion of CS.
 
5.2   CS shall effect purchases of Shares in connection with this Transaction in a manner that would, if CS were Counterparty or an “affiliated purchaser” (as such term is defined under Rule 10b-18 (“Rule 10b-18”) under the Exchange Act) of Counterparty, be subject to the safe harbor provided by Rule 10b-18(b), it being understood that the foregoing restriction shall not apply to purchases of shares of Common Stock by CS for its own account in

10


 

connection with its independent hedging activities relating to its trading risks in connection with this Transaction.
5.3   From the date hereof to the Price Adjustment Period Termination Date and on any day during the Cash Settlement Pricing Period, Counterparty will effect all of its purchase transactions in Shares through Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC.
 
5.4   Upon request by CSI, Counterparty shall, at least one day prior to the first day of the Price Adjustment Period, notify CSI of the total number of Shares purchased in Rule 10b-18 purchases of blocks pursuant to the once-a-week block exception contained in Rule 10b-18(b)(4) by or for Counterparty or any of its affiliated purchasers during each of the four calendar weeks preceding the first day of the Price Adjustment Period and during the calendar week in which the first day of the Price Adjustment Period occurs (“Rule 10b-18 purchase”, “blocks” and “affiliated purchaser” each being used as defined in Rule 10b-18).
 
5.5   Neither Counterparty nor any of its affiliates shall take any action that would cause any CS purchases of Shares in connection with this Transaction not to meet the requirements of the safe harbor provided by Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act if such purchases were made by Counterparty.
 
5.6   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Definitions, to the extent that an Announcement Date for a potential Merger Transaction occurs during the Price Adjustment Period, or has occurred prior to the Trade Date and such Merger Transaction has not yet closed as of the Trade Date:
  (a)   Promptly after request from CSI, Counterparty shall provide CSI 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 CS, and (ii) the number of Shares purchased pursuant to the proviso in Rule 10b-18(b)(4) for the three full months preceding the Announcement Date. Such written notice shall be deemed to be a certification by Counterparty to CSI that such information is true and correct. Counterparty understands that CSI will use this information in calculating the trading volume for purposes of Rule 10b-18; and
 
  (b)   CSI may in its good faith sole discretion, if it determines the resulting reduction in permissible volume of Rule 10b-18 purchases to be material, designate one or more Scheduled Trading Days in the period from and including the public announcement thereof to and including the earlier of the completion of such transaction or the completion of the vote by target shareholders to be Disrupted Days and extend the Price Adjustment Period by the number of Disrupted Days so designated.
For the avoidance of doubt, “Merger Transaction” in this Section 5.6 means any merger, acquisition or similar transaction involving a recapitalization as contemplated by Rule 10b-18(a)(13)(iv).

6.   Indemnification and Contribution:
 
6.1   Indemnification by Counterparty:
 
    Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless CSI, its affiliates, their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, brokers and representatives and each person who controls CSI or its affiliates within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act against, and Counterparty agrees that no indemnified party shall have any liability to Counterparty or any of its affiliates, officers, directors, or employees for, any losses, claims, damages, liabilities (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) or expenses, joint or several, to which any indemnified party may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions, claims, investigations or proceedings in respect thereof, whether commenced or threatened) (i) arise out of or relate to (A) actions or failures to act by Counterparty or (B) actions or failures to act by an indemnified party with the consent of, upon the direction of, or with the knowledge of Counterparty or (ii) otherwise arise out of or relate to the Transaction or any related transactions. Counterparty will not be liable under this Section 6.1 to the extent that any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense is found in a final and nonappealable judgment by a court to have resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of CSI. Counterparty agrees to reimburse promptly each such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damages, liability, expense or action for which Counterparty may be obligated to indemnify CSI. In no event will Counterparty be obligated to indemnify CSI for any settlement effected without the prior written consent of Counterparty. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Counterparty may otherwise have.
 
6.2   Contribution:
 
    If the indemnification provided for above is unavailable to any indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein, then Counterparty, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative fault of Counterparty on the one hand and of CSI on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities, but also any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of Counterparty on the one hand and CSI on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other considerations, whether the misstatement or alleged misstatement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by Counterparty or by CSI and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. The parties agree that it

12


 

would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6.2 were determined by a method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this paragraph. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
7.   Distribution Event:
 
    Counterparty represents that it is not engaged as of the Trade Date in a distribution, as such term is used in Regulation M under the Exchange Act (a “Distribution”). If on any day prior to the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the last day of the later of the Price Adjustment Period or the Cash Settlement Pricing Period, as the case may be, Counterparty or any of its affiliates or agents makes a Distribution of Shares or any security for which the Shares are a reference security (as defined in Regulation M) that would, in the view of CSI, preclude Counterparty from purchasing Shares or cause any such purchases to violate any law, rule or regulation, Counterparty shall provide to CSI at least one Scheduled Trading Day’s notice of such Distribution and use reasonable efforts to cause such Distribution to be completed or otherwise terminated as soon as reasonably practicable given the circumstances of the Distribution. CSI may, in its good faith sole discretion, designate such day a Disrupted Day and, in connection with such designation, extend the Price Adjustment Period or the Cash Settlement Pricing Period, as applicable, by one Valuation Day for each day that such Distribution continues.
 
8.   Additional Representations and Warranties of Counterparty:
 
    Counterparty hereby represents and warrants to CSI that:
 
(a)   It has entered into this Transaction
  (i)   in connection with a duly authorized Share repurchase program publicly announced on February 8, 2007; and
 
  (ii)   solely for the purposes stated in such public disclosures.
(b)   As of the Trade Date and the date, if any, as of which Counterparty elects that Net Share Settlement shall apply, it has complied with all applicable law, rules and regulations in connection with disclosure of all material information with respect to its business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise), and has filed such disclosure as required.
 
(c)   As of the Trade Date and the date, if any, as of which Counterparty elects that Net Share Settlement shall apply, all reports and other documents filed by Counterparty with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act, when considered as a whole (with the more recent such reports and documents deemed to amend inconsistent statements contained in any earlier such reports and documents), do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they

13


 

were made, not misleading. As of each such date, Counterparty is not in possession of any material nonpublic information regarding Counterparty or the Shares.
(d)   Any purchases made by CS during the Price Adjustment Period or the Cash Settlement Pricing Period will be made by CS as principal (and not as an agent of Counterparty) and will be proprietary in nature and not for the benefit or pursuant to the direction of Counterparty. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, during the Price Adjustment Period and the Cash Settlement Pricing Period, the parties agree that they will not communicate in any way regarding CS’s purchases. The parties further agree that during the Price Adjustment Period and the Cash Settlement Pricing Period, Counterparty and its agents or representatives shall not have, and shall not attempt to exert, any influence over how, when or whether CS effects purchases of Shares. The parties intend that this Confirmation shall constitute a binding contract satisfying the requirements of Rule 10b-5(1)(C) under the Exchange Act. Counterparty is entering into this Transaction in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade compliance with the federal securities laws, including, without limitation, Rule 10b-5 under the Exchange Act. Counterparty has not entered into or altered any hedging transaction relating to the Shares corresponding to or offsetting the Transaction. Counterparty represents and warrants that it has consulted with its own advisors as to the legal aspects of its adoption and implementation of this Confirmation under Rule 10b5-1.

    As this Transaction constitutes, or may constitute, the sale by CSI to Counterparty of a security or securities (as defined in the Securities Act), in addition to the representations contained in Section 3 of the Agreement, Counterparty hereby represents to CSI, in accordance with Section 3 of the Agreement, as follows:

14


 

(a)          Counterparty is acquiring such securities for its own account as principal, for investment purposes only, and not with a view to, or for, resale, distribution or fractionalisation thereof, in whole or in part, and no other person has a direct or indirect beneficial interest in any such securities acquired by Counterparty;
 
(b)          Counterparty represents and warrants that it qualifies as an “eligible contract participant” as that term is defined in the U.S. Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, and is a “qualified investor” as that term is defined in the Exchange Act;
 
(c)          Counterparty represents and warrants that it is not an “investment company” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended;
 
(d)          Counterparty understands that the offer and sale by CSI of such securities are intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof. In furtherance thereof, Counterparty represents and warrants that (i) it has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of its investment and has adequate means of providing for its current needs and other contingencies, (ii) it is experienced in investing in options and similar instruments and has determined that such securities are a suitable investment for it, (iii) it is an institution that qualifies as an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act; and

Counterparty hereby acknowledges that it understands and agrees that disposition of any such securities is restricted under the Agreement, the Securities Act and state securities laws. For example, such Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of certain states and, therefore, cannot be resold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of unless they have been registered under the Securities Act and under the applicable laws of such states or an exemption from such registration is available.
11.   Transfer:
 
    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, CSI may assign or transfer its rights or obligations under this Transaction, in whole or in part, to any of its affiliates without the prior written consent of Counterparty, provided that the senior unsecured debt rating (“Credit Rating”) of such affiliate (or any guarantor of its obligations under the transferred Transaction) is equal to or greater than the Credit Rating of CSI, as specified by S&P or Moody’s, at the time of such assignment or transfer.

Schedule I

 


 

ANNEX A
Share Delivery Conditions
If CSI has elected that this Annex A applies to the delivery of Shares by Counterparty,
1. In the case of Net Share Settlement, Counterparty shall deliver to CSI on the Settlement Date a number of Shares equal to the Counterparty Share Delivery Amount divided by the Settlement Price. “Settlement Price” means, (i) if Registered Offering is applicable, the closing price of the Shares on the Exchange on the Exchange Business Day immediately preceding the Settlement Date, or (ii) if Exempt Offering is applicable, such closing price minus a discount for such Shares determined by the Calculation Agent in a commercially reasonable manner.
2. CSI or any underwriter(s), will sell all, or such lesser portion as may be required hereunder, of the Shares comprising the Shares delivered by Counterparty pursuant to Net Share Settlement or Section 3.1 (“Offered Shares”) and any Additional Shares delivered by Counterparty to CSI pursuant to Paragraph 3 below, commencing on the Settlement Date or the Early Termination Date, as applicable, and continuing until the date on which the aggregate Net Proceeds (as such term is defined below) of such sales, as determined by CSI, is equal to the Counterparty Share Delivery Amount or Payment Amount, as the case may be (such date, the “Final Resale Date”). If the proceeds of any sale(s) made by CSI 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 Counterparty Share Delivery Amount or the Payment Amount, as the case may be, CSI will refund, in U.S. Dollars, such excess to Counterparty on the date that is three (3) Business Days following the Final Resale Date, and, if any portion of the Offered Shares remains unsold, CSI shall return to Buyer on that date such unsold Shares.
3. If the Calculation Agent determines that the Net Proceeds received from the sale of Offered Shares or any Additional Shares (if any) pursuant to this Paragraph 3 are less than the Counterparty Share Delivery Amount or the Payment Amount, as the case may be, (the amount in U.S. Dollars by which the Net Proceeds are less than the Counterparty Share Delivery Amount or the Payment Amount, as the case may be, 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 CSI 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) Business Day after the Makewhole Notice Date, or (ii) deliver additional Shares. If Counterparty elects to deliver to CSI additional Shares, then Counterparty shall deliver additional Shares in compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in Paragraph 4 (the “Additional 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 Additional Shares shall be sold by CSI 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 Additional Shares is less than the Counterparty Share Delivery Amount or the Payment Amount, as the case

 


 

may be, then Counterparty shall, at its election, either make such cash payment or deliver to CSI further Additional Shares until such Shortfall has been reduced to zero. If the sum of the Net Proceeds from the sale of the originally delivered Shares and the Net Proceeds from the sale of any Additional Shares exceeds the Counterparty Share Delivery Amount or the Payment Amount, as the case may be, then CSI will refund, in U.S. Dollars, such excess to Counterparty on the date that is three (3) Business Days following the relevant Final Resale Date and, if any portion of the Offered Shares or the Additional Shares remains unsold, CSI shall return to Counterparty on the date that is two (2) Business Days following the Final Resale Date such unsold Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall Counterparty be required to deliver more than thirty million Shares (as such number may be adjusted for stock splits or similar events).
4. Counterparty shall elect whether Registered Offering or Exempt Offering shall be the offering method by which the Shares will be sold by CSI:
     (i) If Registered Offering is elected, then Shares shall be sold by CSI only pursuant to an effective Registration Statement. Counterparty may elect Registered Offering only if all of the following conditions are met:
     (a) a registration statement covering public resale of such Shares by CSI (the “Registration Statement”) shall have been filed with, and declared effective by, the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act on or prior to the Price Adjustment Period Termination Date (or, with respect to Shares delivered pursuant to Section 3 of the Confirmation, the Merger Date, the Tender Offer Date or the date of the occurrence of the Insolvency, Delisting or the Early Termination Date (as the case might be)) (the “Registration Date”), and no stop order shall be in effect with respect to the Registration Statement; a printed prospectus relating to the Shares (including any prospectus supplement thereto, the “Prospectus”) shall have been delivered to CSI, in such quantities as CSI shall reasonably have requested, on or prior to the Registration Date;
     (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 CSI;
     (c) as of or prior to the Registration Date, CSI 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 CSI, in its discretion;
     (d) an opinion of counsel for Counterparty and a “cold comfort” letter signed by the independent public accountants who have issued a report on Counterparty’s financial statements included in such Registration Statement shall have been delivered to CSI or its affiliates before [     ], each addressed to CSI and any underwriter, and each in form and substance satisfactory to CSI and any such underwriter and their respective counsel covering substantially the same matters with respect to such Shares and the offering, sale and issuance thereof and the financial statements of Counterparty as

 


 

are customarily covered in opinions of Counterparty’s counsel and in accountants’ letters delivered to underwriter(s) in underwritten public offerings of securities and, in the case of the accountants’ letter, such other financial matters as CSI or its affiliates may have reasonably requested; and
     (e) as of the Registration Date, an agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) shall have been entered into with CSI in connection with the public resale of the Shares by CSI substantially similar to underwriting agreements customary for underwritten offerings of equity securities, in form and substance satisfactory to CSI, which Underwriting 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, CSI and its affiliates.
     (ii) If Exempt Offering is elected, then Shares shall be sold by CSI pursuant to an offering that is exempt from the registration requirement of the Securities Act (an “Exempt Offering”) and Counterparty may elect Exempt Offering only if (a) as of or prior to the Registration Date, CSI and any potential purchaser of any such shares from CSI (or any affiliate of CSI designated by CSI) identified by CSI shall have been 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 inspection all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and other information reasonably requested by them); (b) as of the Registration Date, an agreement (a “Private Placement Agreement”) shall have been entered into between Counterparty and CSI (or any affiliate of CSI designated by CSI) in connection with the private placement of such shares by Counterparty to CSI (or any such affiliate) and the private resale of such shares by CSI (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 CSI, 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, CSI and its affiliates, and shall provide for the payment by Counterparty of all commercially reasonable fees and expenses in connection with such resale, including all commercially reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for CSI, and 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; (c) Counterparty shall either (x) represent that it is not aware of any material non-public information regarding Counterparty or the Shares as of the date it elects an Exempt Offering, or (y) before any purchasers decide to purchase the Shares, enter into confidentiality agreements with such purchasers relating to any material non-public information regarding Counterparty or the Shares; and (d) Counterparty acknowledges that any Shares sold pursuant to an Exempt Offering may be sold at prices that are less than the prices that might otherwise be available if such Shares were to be sold pursuant to a registered public offering or at prices observed in the secondary market.
