  (i)   During the Net Share Settlement Period, if any, Barclays agrees (x) to make all purchases of Shares (A) through only one broker or dealer on any single day and (B) in a manner that would comply with the limitations set forth in clauses (b)(2), (b)(4) and (c) of Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Rule 10b-18”) and (y) to use commercially reasonable efforts to make all purchases of Shares in a manner that would comply with the limitations set forth in clause (b)(3) of Rule 10b-18, in each case as if such rule was applicable to such purchases.
 
  (ii)   Except as disclosed to Barclays in writing prior to the Trade Date, Counterparty represents and warrants to Barclays that it has not made any purchases of blocks by or for itself or any of its Affiliated Purchasers pursuant to the one block purchase per week exception in Rule 10b-18(b)(4) under the Exchange Act during each of the four calendar weeks preceding such date (“Rule 10b-18 purchase,” “blocks” and “Affiliated Purchaser”, each as defined in Rule 10b-18).
 
  (iii)   Counterparty agrees that it (A) will not, on any day during the Trading Period and the Net Share Settlement Period, if any, 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 or unless Counterparty reasonably concludes, based on the advice of outside counsel, that it is required to make such an announcement during such a regular trading session; (B) shall promptly (but in any event prior to the next opening of the regular trading session on the Exchange in the case of such an announcement not made during such a regular trading

12


 

      session) notify Barclays following any such announcement that such announcement has been made; and (C) shall promptly (but in any event prior to the next opening of the regular trading session on the Exchange) provide Barclays 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 Barclays 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 Barclays that such information is true and correct. In addition, Counterparty shall promptly notify Barclays of the earlier to occur of the completion of such transaction and the completion of the vote by target shareholders. “Merger Transaction” means any merger, acquisition or similar transaction involving a recapitalization as contemplated by Rule 10b-18(a)(13)(iv) under the Exchange Act.
  (c)   Rule 10b5-1. It is the intent of the parties that this Transaction comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i)(B) of the Exchange Act (“Rule 10b5-1”), and the parties agree that this Confirmation shall be interpreted to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c), and Counterparty shall take no action that results in this Transaction not so complying with such requirements. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, Counterparty acknowledges and agrees that (A) Counterparty does not have, and shall not attempt to exercise, any influence over how, when or whether Barclays effects any purchases in connection with this Transaction, (B) during the Trading Period and the Net Share Settlement Period, if any, neither Counterparty nor its officers or employees shall, directly or indirectly, communicate any information regarding Counterparty or the Shares to any employee of Barclays or its affiliates who is directly involved with the hedging of and trading with respect to this Transaction, (C) Counterparty is entering into this Transaction in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade compliance with federal securities laws including, without limitation, Rule 10b-5 and (D) Counterparty will not alter or deviate from this Confirmation or enter into or alter a corresponding hedging transaction with respect to the Shares. Counterparty also acknowledges and agrees that any amendment, modification, waiver or termination of this Confirmation 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 or director of Counterparty is aware of any material non-public information regarding Counterparty or the Shares.
 
  (d)   Company Purchases. Without the prior written consent of Barclays and except for purchases which are not solicited by or on behalf of Counterparty or its affiliated purchasers (each as defined in Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act) or purchases executed by Barclays or an Affiliate of Barclays, Counterparty shall not purchase, and shall cause its affiliated purchasers not to directly or indirectly (including, without limitation, by means of any cash-settled or other derivative instrument) purchase, offer to purchase, place any bid or limit order that would effect a purchase of, or commence any tender offer relating to, any Shares (or an equivalent interest, including a unit of beneficial interest in a trust or limited partnership or a depository share) or any security convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Shares during the Trading Period and the Net Share Settlement Period, if any.
 
  (e)   Regulation M. Counterparty is not on the date hereof, engaged in a distribution, as such term is used in Regulation M under the Exchange Act, of any securities of Counterparty for which the Shares are a “covered security”, as defined in Rule 100 of Regulation M and Counterparty is subject to a Rule 102 “restricted period” with respect to the Shares, other than a distribution meeting the requirements of the exception set forth in Section 102(b)(7) of Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Counterparty shall not, until the Settlement Date or the Net Share Settlement Date, as applicable, engage in any such distribution.

13


 

  (f)   [Reserved]
 
  (g)   Transfer or Assignment. Counterparty may not transfer or assign any of its rights or obligations under the Transaction without the prior written consent of Barclays. Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement to the contrary, Barclays may, subject to applicable law, freely transfer and assign all of its rights and obligations under the Transaction without the consent of Counterparty to any affiliate of Barclays whose obligations hereunder are guaranteed by Barclays.
 
      Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Barclays to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to or from Counterparty, Barclays may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities and otherwise to perform Barclays’ obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Barclays shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such performance.
 
  (h)   Role of Agent. Each of Barclays and Counterparty acknowledges to and agrees with the other party hereto and to and with the Agent that (i) the Agent is acting as agent for Barclays under the Transaction pursuant to instructions from such party, (ii) the Agent is not a principal or party to the Transaction, and may transfer its rights and obligations with respect to the Transaction, (iii) the Agent shall have no responsibility, obligation or liability, by way of issuance, guaranty, endorsement or otherwise in any manner with respect to the performance of either party under the Transaction, (iv) Barclays and the Agent have not given, and Counterparty is not relying (for purposes of making any investment decision or otherwise) upon, any statements, opinions or representations (whether written or oral) of Barclays or the Agent, other than the representations expressly set forth in this Confirmation or the Agreement, and (v) each party agrees to proceed solely against the other party, and not the Agent, to collect or recover any money or securities owed to it in connection with the Transaction. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that the Agent is an intended third party beneficiary hereunder. Counterparty acknowledges that the Agent is an affiliate of Barclays.
 
  (i)   Regulatory Provisions. The time of dealing for the Transaction will be confirmed by Barclays upon written request by Counterparty. The Agent will furnish to Counterparty upon written request a statement as to the source and amount of any remuneration received or to be received by the Agent in connection with a Transaction.
 
  (j)   Netting and Setoff. Obligations under the Transaction shall not be netted, recouped or set off (including pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement) against any other obligations of the parties, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation, under any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise, and no other obligations of the parties shall be netted, recouped or set off (including pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement) against obligations under the Transaction, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation, under any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise, and each party hereby waives any such right of setoff, netting or recoupment; provided that both parties agree that subparagraph (ii) of Section 2(c) of the Agreement shall apply to the Transaction, except that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or Termination Event with respect to a party who is the Defaulting Party or the Affected Party (“X”), the other party (“Y”) will have the right (but not be obliged) without prior notice to X or any other person to set-off or apply any obligation of X under the Transaction owed to Y (or any Affiliate of Y) (whether or not matured or contingent and whether or not arising under the Agreement, and regardless of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the obligation) against any obligation of Y (or any Affiliate of Y) under an Equity Contract owed to X (whether or not matured or contingent and whether or not arising under the Agreement, and regardless of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the obligation). Y will give notice to the other party of any set-off effected under this paragraph. “Equity Contract” shall mean for purposes of this paragraph any transaction relating to Shares between X and Y (or any Affiliate of Y) that qualifies as ‘equity’ under applicable accounting rules. Amounts (or the relevant portion of such amounts) subject to set-off may be converted by Y

14


 

      into the Termination Currency at the rate of exchange at which such party would be able, acting in a reasonable manner and in good faith, to purchase the relevant amount of such currency. If any obligation is unascertained, Y may in good faith estimate that obligation and set-off in respect of the estimate, subject to the relevant party accounting to the other when the obligation is ascertained. Nothing in this section shall be effective to create a charge or other security interest, and nothing in this section shall impair Counterparty’s rights to foreclose upon or liquidate or otherwise dispose of the Collateral in exercising its rights under the CSA or the UCC.
 
  (k)   Staggered Settlement. Barclays may, by notice to Counterparty on or prior to any Settlement Date (a “Nominal Settlement Date”), elect to deliver any Shares deliverable on such Nominal Settlement Date on two or more dates (each, a “Staggered Settlement Date”) or at two or more times on the Nominal Settlement Date as follows: (i) in such notice, Barclays will specify to Counterparty the related Staggered Settlement Dates (each of which will be on or prior to such Nominal Settlement Date) or delivery times and how it will allocate the Shares it is required to deliver under the applicable settlement method above among the Staggered Settlement Dates or delivery times; and (ii) the aggregate number of Shares that Barclays will deliver to Counterparty hereunder on all such Staggered Settlement Dates and delivery times will equal the number of Shares that Barclays would otherwise be required to deliver on such Nominal Settlement Date.
 
  (l)   Alternative Calculations and Counterparty Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events. If Barclays owes Counterparty any amount in connection with the Transaction (i) pursuant to Sections 12.2, 12.3, 12.6, 12.7 or 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or (ii) pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (a “Payment Obligation”), Counterparty shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to require Barclays to satisfy any such Payment Obligation by delivery of Termination Delivery Units (as defined below) by giving irrevocable telephonic notice to Barclays, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day, no later than noon New York time on the Early Termination Date or other date the Transaction is cancelled or terminated, as applicable, where such notice shall include a representation and warranty from Counterparty that it is not, as of the date of the telephonic notice and the date of such written notice, aware of any material non-public information concerning itself or the Shares (where “material” shall have the meaning set forth in paragraph 5(m) below) (“Notice of Counterparty Termination Delivery”); provided that Counterparty shall not have the right to so elect in the event of (i) an Insolvency, a Nationalization or a merger event, 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. Within a commercially reasonable period of time following receipt of a Notice of Counterparty Termination Delivery, Barclays shall deliver to Counterparty a number of Termination Delivery Units having a fair market value (net of any brokerage and underwriting commissions and fees) equal to the amount of such Payment Obligation (such number of Termination Delivery Units to be delivered to be determined by the Calculation Agent as the number of whole Termination Delivery Units that could be sold over a commercially reasonable period of time to generate proceeds equal to the cash equivalent of such payment obligation). If the provisions set forth in this paragraph are applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.10, 9.11 and 9.12 of the Equity Definitions shall be applicable, except that all references to “Shares” shall be read as references to “Termination Delivery Units.” “Termination Delivery Units” means in the case of a Termination Event, Event of Default or Delisting, one Share or, in the case of Nationalization, Insolvency, Tender Offer or Merger Event, a unit consisting of the number or amount of each type of property received by a holder of one Share (without consideration of any requirement to pay cash or other consideration in lieu of fractional amounts of any securities) in such Nationalization, Insolvency, Tender Offer or Merger Event; provided that if such Nationalization, Insolvency, Tender Offer or Merger 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.

15


 

  (m)   No Material Non-Public Information. On the Trade Date, Counterparty represents and warrants to Barclays that it is not aware of any material non-public information concerning itself or the Shares. “Material” information for these purposes is any information to which an investor would reasonably attach importance in reaching a decision to buy, sell or hold Shares.
 
  (n)   No Counterparty Payment or Delivery Obligations upon Settlement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, under no circumstances will Counterparty owe Barclays any amount upon settlement (including settlement upon Early Terminations and Certain Extraordinary Events).
 
  (o)   [Reserved]
 
  (p)   Tax Disclosure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the Equity Definitions or in the Agreement, and notwithstanding any express or implied claims of exclusivity or proprietary rights, the parties (and each of their employees, representatives or other agents) are authorized to disclose to any and all persons, beginning immediately upon commencement of their discussions and without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the Transaction, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided by either party to the other relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.
 
  (q)   Status of Claims in Bankruptcy. Barclays acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to convey to Barclays rights with respect to the Transaction that are senior to the claims of common stockholders in any U.S. bankruptcy proceedings of Counterparty; provided that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Barclays’ right to pursue remedies in the event of a breach by Counterparty of its obligations and agreements with respect to the Transaction; provided, further, that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Barclays’ rights in respect of any transactions other than the Transaction.
 
  (r)   No Collateral. Notwithstanding any provision of this Confirmation, the Agreement, Equity Definitions or any other agreement between the parties to the contrary, the obligations of Counterparty under the Transaction are not secured by any collateral.
 
  (s)   Securities Contract; Swap Agreement. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that Barclays is one or more of a “financial institution,” “swap participant” and “financial participant” within the meaning of Sections 101(22), 101(53C) and 101(22A) of 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 or in connection herewith is a “termination value,” “payment amount” or “other transfer obligation” within the meaning of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and a “settlement payment” or a “transfer” within the meaning of Section 546 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 or in connection herewith is a “termination value,” a “payment amount” or “other transfer obligation” within the meaning of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and a “transfer” within the meaning of Section 546 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (B) that Barclays is entitled to the protections afforded by, among other sections, Section 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 362(b)(27), 362(o), 546(e), 546(g), 546(j), 548(d)(2), 555, 560 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code.
 
  (t)   [Reserved]
 
  (u)   Payments on Early Termination. The parties hereto agree that for the Transaction, for the purposes of Section 6(e) of the Agreement, Loss and Second Method will apply. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event will any Adjustment be made or consideration be paid as a result of an Extraordinary Dividend declared by Counterparty.

16


 

  (v)   Governing Law. The law of the State of New York (without reference to choice of law doctrine).
 
  (w)   Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THE TRANSACTION. EACH PARTY (I) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF SUCH A SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTY HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THE TRANSACTION, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS PROVIDED HEREIN.
