		provided that, on the Maturity Date, the number of Settlement Shares shall be equal to the Base Shares on such date; provided further that if a Settlement Date has been specified for a number of Shares equal to the Base Shares on or prior to the Maturity Date and such Settlement Date has been deferred as described above until a date later than the original Maturity Date, the number of Settlement Shares on the original Maturity Date shall be zero.

Unwind Period:		The period from, and including, the first Scheduled Trading Day following the date on which Party B elects Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement in respect of a Settlement Date through the third Scheduled Trading Day preceding such Settlement Date. In the case of Cash Settlement, Party A will be deemed to have completely unwound its hedge upon such time that Party A shall have acquired a number of Shares equal to the number of Settlement Shares.

Unwind Daily Share Amount:		On each Scheduled Trading Day during the Unwind Period, other than a Suspension Day or a Disrupted Day, Party A will, in accordance with the principles of best execution, purchase a number of Shares equal to the lesser of (i) 100% of the applicable volume limitation of Rule 10b-18 for the Shares on such Scheduled Trading Day, without reference to any block purchases, (ii) 15% of the daily trading volume for the Shares on the Exchange on such Scheduled Trading Day, and (iii) the number of Shares necessary to complete the purchases required to calculate the Cash Settlement Amount or the Net Share Settlement Shares, as the case may be.

Physical Settlement:		On any Settlement Date in respect of which Physical Settlement applies, Party B shall deliver to Party A a number of Shares equal to the Settlement Shares for such Settlement Date, and Party A shall deliver to Party B, by wire transfer of immediately available


		funds to an account designated by Party B, an amount in cash equal to the Physical Settlement Amount for such Settlement Date, on a delivery versus payment basis.

Physical Settlement Amount:		For any Settlement Date in respect of which Physical Settlement applies, an amount in cash equal to the product of the Forward Price on such Settlement Date, and the number of Settlement Shares for such Settlement Date.

Cash Settlement:		On any Settlement Date in respect of which Cash Settlement applies, if the Cash Settlement Amount is a positive number, Party A will pay the Cash Settlement Amount to Party B. If the Cash Settlement Amount is a negative number, Party B will pay the absolute value of the Cash Settlement Amount to Party A. Such amounts shall be paid on the Settlement Date.

Cash Settlement Amount:		For any Settlement Date in respect of which Cash Settlement applies, an amount determined by the Calculation Agent equal to: (1) the product of (i) (A) the Forward Price as of the last day of the applicable Unwind Period, minus (B) the weighted average price at which Party A is able to purchase Shares during the Unwind Period applicable to Cash Settlement to unwind its hedge in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act as if it applied to Party A during the Unwind Period, minus (C) USD 0.02, and (ii) the number of Settlement Shares for such Settlement Date.

Net Share Settlement:		On any Settlement Date in respect of which Net Share Settlement applies, if the number of Net Share Settlement Shares is a (i) positive number, Party A shall deliver a number of Shares to Party B equal to the Net Share Settlement Shares, and (ii) negative number, Party B shall deliver a number of Shares to Party A equal to the absolute value of the Net Share Settlement Shares; provided that if Party A determines in its good faith judgment that it would be required to deliver Net Share Settlement Shares to Party B, Party A may elect to deliver a portion of such Net Share Settlement Shares on one or more dates prior to the applicable Settlement Date.

Net Share Settlement Shares:		Upon the commencement of an Unwind Period to which Net Share Settlement applies, the Calculation Agent shall calculate the Unwind Settlement Amount applicable to such Unwind Period. The “Unwind Settlement Amount” shall equal (i) the Forward Price as of the last day of the applicable Unwind Period multiplied by (ii) the relevant number of Settlement Shares. On each Scheduled Trading Day during the Unwind Period, Party A shall purchase a number of Shares, consistent with the “Unwind Daily Share Amount” provisions above. At the end of each day upon which such purchases have been made, the Unwind Settlement Amount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate cost (including a commission of USD0.02 per Share) incurred by Party A to purchase Shares on such day. Party A shall continue purchasing Shares, consistent with the “Unwind Daily Share Amount” provisions above, until the Unwind Settlement Amount has been reduced to zero (such number of Shares, the “Aggregate Unwind Shares”). For any Settlement


		Date in respect of which Net Share Settlement applies, the Net Share Settlement Shares shall be (A) the Aggregate Unwind Shares minus (B) the number of Settlement Shares for such Settlement Date.

Settlement Currency:		USD

Failure to Deliver:		Applicable

SUSPENSION OF CASH OR NET SHARE SETTLEMENT:

Suspension Day:		Any day on which Party A determines based on the written advice of counsel that Cash or Net Share Settlement may violate applicable securities laws. Party A shall notify Party B if it receives such written advice from its counsel.

Additional Adjustment:		If, in Party A’s commercially reasonable judgment, the actual cost to Party A, over any one month period, of borrowing a number of Shares equal to the Base Amount to hedge its exposure to the Transaction exceeds a weighted average rate equal to 25 basis points per annum, the Calculation Agent shall reduce the Forward Price in order to compensate Party A for the amount by which such cost exceeded a weighted average rate equal to 25 basis points per annum during such period. The Calculation Agent shall notify Party B prior to making any such adjustment to the Forward.

EXTRAORDINARY EVENTS:

Extraordinary Events:		In lieu of the applicable provisions contained in Article 12 of the Equity Definitions, the consequences of any applicable Extraordinary Event shall be as specified in “Acceleration Events” and “Termination Settlement” hereunder.

(c)

Dividends and Other Distributions. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if on any day occurring after the Trade Date Party B declares a distribution, issue or dividend to existing holders of the Shares of (i) any cash dividend to the extent all cash dividends having an ex-dividend date during the period from, and including, any Forward Price Reduction Date (with each of the Trade Date and the Maturity Date being a Forward Price Reduction Date for purposes of this clause (c) only) to, but excluding, the next subsequent Forward Price Reduction Date exceeds, on a per Share basis, the Forward Price Reduction Amount set forth opposite the first date of any such period on Schedule I (such excess of all cash dividends over such Forward Price Reduction Amount, an “Excess Cash Dividend”) or (ii) share capital or securities of another issuer acquired or owned (directly or indirectly) by Party B as a result of a spin-off or other similar transaction or (iii) any other type of securities (other than Shares), rights or warrants or other assets, which distribution, issue or dividend has a record date on or prior to the final Settlement Date, then Party A shall have the right to designate any Scheduled Trading Day to be a

Settlement Date for the entire Transaction on at least three Scheduled Trading Day’s notice, and to select the number of Shares for such Settlement Date; provided that no adjustment shall be made to the Forward Price in respect of any Excess Cash Dividend; or

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the Agreement or in the Definitions, if Party A has the right to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement (other than as a result of the occurrence of an event listed in Section 5(a)(vii) of the Agreement), Party A shall have the right to designate any Scheduled Trading Day to be a Settlement Date for the entire Transaction on at least three Scheduled Trading Days’ notice; or

Thereafter, Party A shall have the right to designate any Scheduled Trading Day to be a Settlement Date for the entire Transaction on at least three Scheduled Trading Days’ notice; or

(f)

Other Events. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the Agreement or in the Equity Definitions, if a Nationalization, Delisting (as provided further in the next sentence) or Change in Law (other than as specified in clause (Y) of the definition thereof) occurs, Party A shall have the right to designate any Scheduled Trading Day to be a Settlement Date for the entire Transaction on at least three Scheduled Trading Days’ notice and Party A shall be the Determining Party. 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 NASDAQ Global Select Market or the NASDAQ Global 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 be deemed to be the Exchange. For the avoidance of doubt, Physical Settlement shall apply in the case of any Settlement Date designated in respect of a Nationalization or Delisting.

Termination Settlement:

If a Settlement Date is specified following an Acceleration Event (a “Termination Settlement Date”), Physical Settlement shall apply with respect to such Termination Settlement Date as set forth above, and subject to the provisions described under “Limit on Beneficial Ownership” below. If, upon designation of a Termination Settlement Date by Party A, Party B fails to deliver the Settlement Shares relating to such Termination Settlement Date when due or otherwise fails to perform its obligations in connection therewith, it shall be an Event of Default with respect to Party B and Section 6 of the Agreement shall apply. If an Acceleration Event occurs during an Unwind Period relating to a number of Settlement Shares to which Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement applies, then on the Termination Settlement Date relating to such Acceleration Event, notwithstanding any election to the contrary by Party B, Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement (as previously elected by Party B) shall apply to the portion of the Settlement Shares relating to such Unwind Period as to which Party A has unwound its hedge, and Physical Settlement shall apply in respect of (x) the remainder (if any) of such Settlement Shares and (y) the Settlement Shares designated by Party A in respect of such Termination Settlement Date.

Private Placement Procedures:

If Party B is unable to comply with the provisions of “Covenant of Party B” above because of a change in law or a change in the policy of the Securities and Exchange Commission or its staff, or Party A

otherwise determines that in its reasonable opinion, based on the advice of counsel, any Settlement Shares to be delivered to Party A by Party B may not be freely returned by Party A or its affiliates to securities lenders as described under “Covenant of Party B” above, then delivery of any such Settlement Shares (the “Restricted Shares”) shall be effected pursuant to Annex A hereto, unless waived by Party A.

Rule 10b5-1:

It is the intent of Party A and Party B that the purchase of Shares by Party A during any Unwind Period comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(i)(B) of the Exchange Act and that this Confirmation shall be interpreted to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c).

Party B acknowledges that, except as otherwise provided herein, (i) during any Unwind Period Party B does not have, and shall not attempt to exercise, any influence over how, when or whether to effect purchases of Shares by Party A (or its agent or affiliate) in connection with this Confirmation and (ii) Party B is entering into the Agreement and this Confirmation 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 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Miscellaneous:


Non-Reliance:		Applicable

Additional Acknowledgements:		Applicable

Agreements and Acknowledgments Regarding Hedging Activities:		Applicable

4.	The Agreement is further supplemented by the following provisions:

Status of Claims in Bankruptcy:

Party A acknowledges and agrees that this confirmation is not intended to convey to Party A rights with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby that are senior to the claims of common stockholders in any U.S. bankruptcy proceedings of Party B; provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Party A’s right to pursue remedies in the event of a breach by Party B of its obligations and agreements with respect to this Confirmation and the Agreement; and provided further, that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Party A’s rights in respect of any transaction other than the Transaction.

Agreement Regarding Set-off and Collateral:

Notwithstanding Section 6(f) or any other provision of the Agreement or any other agreement between the parties to the contrary, the obligations of Party B hereunder are not secured by any collateral. Obligations under the Transaction shall not be set off 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 set off 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. In calculating any amounts under Section 6(e) of the Agreement, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, (a) separate amounts shall be calculated as set forth in such Section 6(e) with respect to (i) the Transaction and (ii) all other Transactions, and (b) such separate amounts shall be payable pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement.

Bankruptcy:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the Agreement or in the Equity Definitions, upon the occurrence of an Insolvency, Insolvency Filing of Party B or an Event of Default of the type described in Section 5(a)(vii) of the Agreement (a “Bankruptcy”) with respect to Party B, the Transaction shall automatically terminate on the date of such occurrence without further liability of either party under this Confirmation to the other party (except for any liability in respect of any breach of representation or covenant by a party under this Confirmation prior to the date of such Insolvency, Insolvency Filing or Bankruptcy).

Limit on Beneficial Ownership:

Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, Party A shall not be entitled to take delivery of any Shares deliverable hereunder (whether in connection with the purchase of Shares on any Settlement Date or any Termination Settlement Date, any Private Placement Settlement or otherwise) to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after such receipt of any Shares hereunder, Party A and each person subject to aggregation of Shares with Party A under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder (the “Party A Group”) would directly or indirectly beneficially own (as such term is defined for purposes of Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 9.0% of the then outstanding Shares (the “Threshold Number of Shares”). Any purported delivery hereunder shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after such delivery, the Party A Group would directly or indirectly so beneficially own in excess of the Threshold Number of Shares. If any delivery owed to Party A hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, Party B’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and Party B shall make such delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than one Clearance System Business Day after, Party A gives notice to Party B that, after such delivery, the Party A Group would not directly or indirectly so beneficially own in excess of the Threshold Number of Shares.

In addition, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any delivery owed to Party A hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of the immediately preceding paragraph, Party A shall be permitted to make any payment due in respect of such Shares to Party B in two or more tranches that

correspond in amount to the number of Shares delivered by Party B to Party A pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph.

If Net Share Settlement would result in the Party A Group directly or indirectly beneficially owning (as such term is defined for purposes of Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 9.0% of the then outstanding Shares in connection with closing out its hedge position, Party A would be allowed to partially settle the Transaction based on its purchase of that amount of Shares, and then to purchase the amount or amounts of additional Shares necessary to settle the remainder of the Transaction, and to make the associated deliveries at such times as determined by the Calculation Agent.

Other Forward:

Party A acknowledges that Party B has entered into two substantially identical forward transactions for its Shares on the date hereof (the “Other Forwards”) with an affiliate of Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx & Co. Party A and Party B agree that if Party B designates a Settlement Date with respect to either of the Other Forwards and for which Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement is applicable, and the resulting Unwind Period for such Other Forward coincides for any period of time with an Unwind Period for the Transaction (the “Overlap Unwind Period”), Party B shall notify Party A prior to the commencement of such Overlap Unwind Period, and Party A shall only be permitted to purchase Shares to unwind its hedge in respect of the Transaction on every other Exchange Business Day that is not a Suspension Day during such Overlap Unwind Period, commencing on the first day of such Overlap Unwind Period; provided that if such first day of such Overlap Unwind Period is a day on which Party A is contractually prohibited from purchasing Shares to unwind its hedge in respect of any other transaction pursuant to any provision substantially similar to the provision immediately preceding this proviso, then Party A shall only be permitted to purchase Shares to unwind its hedge in respect of the Transaction on every other Exchange Business Day during such Overlap Unwind Period, commencing on the second day of such Overlap Unwind Period.

Severability:

If any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Confirmation, or the application thereof to any party or circumstance, shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part for any reason, the remaining terms, provisions, covenants, and conditions hereof shall continue in full force and effect as if this Confirmation had been executed with the invalid or unenforceable provision eliminated, so long as this Confirmation as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter of this Confirmation and the deletion of such portion of this Confirmation will not substantially impair the respective benefits or expectations of parties to this Agreement; provided, however, that this severability provision shall not be applicable if any provision of Section 2, 5, 6 or 13 of the Agreement (or any definition or provision in Section 14 to the extent that it relates to, or is used in or in connection with any such Section) shall be so held to be invalid or unenforceable.

ANNEX A

PRIVATE PLACEMENT PROCEDURES

(i)

If Party B delivers the Restricted Shares pursuant to this clause (i) (a “Private Placement Settlement”), then delivery of Restricted Shares by Party B shall be effected in customary private placement procedures with respect to such Restricted Shares reasonably acceptable to Party A; provided that if, on or before the date that a Private Placement Settlement would occur, Party B has taken, or caused to be taken, any action that would make unavailable either the exemption pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for the sale by Party B to Party A (or any affiliate designated by Party A) of the Restricted Shares or the exemption pursuant to Section 4(1) or Section 4(3) of the Securities Act for resales of the Restricted Shares by Party A (or any such affiliate of Party A) or Party B fails to deliver the Restricted Shares when due or otherwise fails to perform obligations within its control in respect of a Private Placement Settlement, it shall be an Event of Default with respect to Party B and Section 6 of the Agreement shall apply. The Private Placement Settlement of such Restricted Shares shall include customary representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to Party A, due diligence rights (for Party A or any designated buyer of the Restricted Shares by Party A), opinions and certificates, auditors “comfort letters” and such other documentation as is customary for private placement agreements, all reasonably acceptable to Party A. In the case of a Private Placement Settlement, Party A shall, in its good faith discretion, adjust the terms of the Transaction, including (but not limited to) the Forward Price and the number of Restricted Shares to be delivered to Party A hereunder, in a commercially reasonable manner to reflect the fact that such Restricted Shares may not be freely returned to securities lenders by Party A and may only be saleable by Party A at a discount to reflect the lack of liquidity in Restricted Shares. Notwithstanding the Agreement or this Confirmation, the date of delivery of such Restricted Shares shall be the Clearance System Business Day following notice by Party A to Party B of the number of Restricted Shares to be delivered pursuant to this clause (i). For the avoidance of doubt, delivery of Restricted Shares shall be due as set forth in the previous sentence and not be due on the Settlement Date or Termination Settlement Date that would otherwise be applicable.

(ii)

If Party B delivers any Restricted Shares in respect of the Transaction, unless it is advised by counsel that any of the following actions would violate applicable securities laws because of a change in law or a change in the policy of the Securities and Exchange Commission or its staff after the Trade Date, Party B agrees that (i) such Shares may be transferred by and among Party A and its affiliates and (ii) after the minimum “holding period” within the meaning of Rule 144(d) under the Securities Act has elapsed after the applicable Settlement Date, Party B shall promptly remove, or cause the transfer agent for the Shares to remove, any legends referring to any transfer restrictions from such Shares upon delivery by Party A (or such affiliate of Party A) to Party B or such transfer agent of seller’s and broker’s representation letters customarily delivered by Party A or its affiliates 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 Party A (or such affiliate of Party A).
