Representations and Warranties of Counterparty.

 

 

 

 

 

Counterparty hereby represents and warrants to Dealer on the date hereof and on and as of the Premium Payment Date that:

 

 

 

 

(a)

Counterparty is duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation.

 

 

 

 

(b)

Counterparty has the corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Confirmation and to perform its obligations hereunder; and all action required to be taken for the due and proper authorization, execution and delivery by it of this Confirmation and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby has been duly and validly taken.

 

 

 

 

(c)

This Confirmation has been duly authorized by Counterparty and, when duly executed and delivered in accordance with its terms by each of the parties hereto, will constitute a valid and legally binding agreement of Counterparty enforceable against Counterparty in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability.

 

13



 

 

(d)

The execution, delivery and performance by Counterparty of this Confirmation and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not (i) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries is subject, (ii) result in any violation of the provisions of the charter or by-laws or similar organizational documents of Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries or (iii) result in the violation of any law or statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or arbitrator or governmental or regulatory authority applicable to Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries, except for such conflicts, breaches or violations in clauses (i) and (iii) that would not have a material adverse effect on Counterparty’s ability to perform its obligations under this Confirmation (a “Material Adverse Effect”).

 

 

 

 

(e)

No consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any court or arbitrator or governmental or regulatory authority is required for the execution, delivery and performance by Counterparty of this Confirmation and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby for (i) such consents, approvals, authorizations, orders, registrations or qualifications (“Consents”) as may be required under state securities laws or contemplated by this Confirmation or (ii) where the failure to obtain or make any such Consents would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

 

 

 

(f)

Counterparty is not and, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby, will not be required to register as an “investment company” or an entity “controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.

 

 

 

 

(g)

Counterparty is an “eligible contract participant” (as such term is defined in Section 1a(12) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, other than a person that is an eligible contract participant under Section 1a(12)(C) of the Commodity Exchange Act).

 

 

 

 

(h)

Counterparty and each of its affiliates is not, on the date hereof, in possession of any material non-public information with respect to Counterparty or the Shares.

 

 

9.

Other Provisions.

 

 

 

(a)

Opinions. Counterparty shall deliver to Dealer an opinion of counsel, dated as of the Trade Date, due incorporation, existence and good standing of Counterparty in Delaware, the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Confirmation, and the absence of conflict of the execution, delivery and performance of this Confirmation with any material agreement required to be filed as an exhibit to Counterparty’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Counterparty’s constituent documents.

 

 

 

 

(b)

Repurchase Notices. Counterparty shall, on any day on which Counterparty effects any repurchase of Shares, promptly give Dealer a written notice of such repurchase (a “Repurchase Notice”) on the Business Day following the date of such repurchase if following such repurchase, the number of outstanding Shares as determined on such day is (i) less than 50 million (in the case of the first such notice) or (ii) thereafter more than 1 million less than the number of Shares included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice. Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Dealer and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, advisors, agents and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all losses (including losses relating to Dealer’s hedging activities as a consequence of becoming, or of the risk of becoming, a Section 16 “insider”, including without limitation, any forbearance from hedging activities or cessation of hedging activities and any losses in connection therewith with respect to the Transaction), claims, damages, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), joint or several, which an Indemnified Person may become

 

14



 

 

 

subject to, as a result of Counterparty’s failure to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this paragraph. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against the Indemnified Person as a result of Counterparty’s failure to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice in accordance with this paragraph, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Counterparty in writing, and Counterparty, upon request of the Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others Counterparty may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. Counterparty shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding contemplated by this paragraph that is effected without its written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, Counterparty agrees to indemnify any Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Counterparty shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding contemplated by this paragraph that is in respect of which any Indemnified Person is a party and indemnity has been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding on terms reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person. If the indemnification provided for in this paragraph is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then Counterparty hereunder, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities. The remedies provided for in this paragraph (b) are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this paragraph shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of the Transaction.

 

 

 

 

(c)

Regulation M. Counterparty is not on the Trade Date engaged in a distribution, as such term is used in Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), of any equity or equity-linked securities of Counterparty, other than (i) a distribution meeting the requirements of the exception set forth in Rules 101(a), 101(b)(10), 102(a) and 102(b)(7) of Regulation M (the “Exclusions”). Counterparty shall not, until the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date, engage in any such distribution (subject to the Exclusions) other than the distribution of the Convertible Notes.

 

 

 

 

(d)

No Manipulation. Counterparty is not entering into the Transaction to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or to manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) in violation of the Exchange Act.

 

 

 

 

(e)

Transfer or Assignment.

 

 

 

 

 

(i)

Counterparty shall have the right to transfer or assign its rights and obligations hereunder with respect to all, but not less than all, of the Options hereunder (such Options, the “Transfer Options”); provided that such transfer or assignment shall be subject to reasonable conditions that Dealer may impose, including but not limited to, the following conditions:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(A)

With respect to any Transfer Options, Counterparty shall not be released from its notice and indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 9(b);

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(B)

Any Transfer Options shall only be transferred or assigned to a third party that is a United States person (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended);

 

15



 

 

 

 

(C)

Such transfer or assignment shall be effected on terms, including any reasonable undertakings by such third party (including, but not limited to, an undertaking with respect to compliance with applicable securities laws in a manner that, in the reasonable judgment of Dealer, will not expose Dealer to material risks under applicable securities laws) and execution of any documentation and delivery of legal opinions with respect to securities laws and other matters by such third party and Counterparty, as are requested and reasonably satisfactory to Dealer;

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(D)

Dealer will not, as a result of such transfer and assignment, be required to pay the transferee on any payment date an amount under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement greater than an amount that Dealer would have been required to pay to Counterparty in the absence of such transfer and assignment;

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(E)

An Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or Termination Event will not occur as a result of such transfer and assignment;

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(F)

Without limiting the generality of clause (B), Counterparty shall cause the transferee to make such Payee Tax Representations and to provide such tax documentation as may be reasonably requested by Dealer to permit Dealer to determine that results described in clauses (D) and (E) will not occur upon or after such transfer and assignment; and

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(G)

Counterparty shall be responsible for all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, incurred by Dealer in connection with such transfer or assignment.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(ii)

Dealer may, without Counterparty’s consent, transfer or assign all or any part of its rights or obligations under the Transaction at any time to any affiliate of Dealer (A) that has a rating for its long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness that is equal to or better than the best of Dealer’s credit rating and the credit rating of any guarantor of Dealer’s obligations hereunder, in each case, at the time of the transfer or assignment, or (B) whose obligations hereunder will be guaranteed, pursuant to the terms of a customary guarantee in a form used by Dealer generally for similar transactions, by Dealer or any parent of Dealer that has a credit rating that is equal to or better than the best of Dealer’s credit rating and the credit rating of any guarantor of Dealer’s obligations hereunder, in each case, at the time of the transfer or assignment; provided that any such transfer or assignment shall be subject to the conditions that (I) following such transfer or assignment, the terms and conditions of the Agreement as so transferred or assigned (the “Transferred Agreement”) shall be substantially the same as the terms and conditions of the Agreement immediately prior to such transfer or assignment, (II) Counterparty will not be required to pay to the transferee an amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Transferred Agreement greater than the amount in respect of which Counterparty would have been required to pay to Dealer under Section 2(d)(i)(4) in the absence of the transfer, (III) Counterparty will not receive any payment under the Transferred Agreement from which an amount is required to be withheld or deducted for or on account of a Tax with respect to which no additional amount is required to be paid by the transferee under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Transferred Agreement (other than by reason of Section 2(d)(i)(4)(A) or (B) thereof), (IV) neither an Event of Default with respect to which Dealer is the Defaulting Party nor a Termination Event with respect to which Dealer is the sole Affected Party shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of the transfer, and neither an Event of Default nor a Termination Event shall occur as a result of the transfer, (V) each of Dealer and the transferee is a dealer in “notional principal contracts” within the meaning of Section 1.446-3(c)(4)(iii) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations and in other derivatives, and (VI) Dealer has used its good faith efforts to provide prior notice to Counterparty of such transfer and the proposed date of such transfer, and Dealer shall

 

16



 

 

 

 

provide written notice to Counterparty reasonably promptly following such transfer. In addition, if at any time (A) the Section 16 Percentage exceeds 7.5%, (B) the Option Equity Percentage exceeds 14.5%, or (C) the Share Amount exceeds the Applicable Share Limit (if any applies) (any such condition described in clauses (A), (B) or (C), an “Excess Ownership Position”), Dealer may, without Counterparty’s consent, transfer or assign all or any part of its rights or obligations under the Transaction to any third party who is a dealer in “notional principal contracts” within the meaning of Section 1.446-3(c)(4)(iii) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations and in other derivatives, and with a rating for its long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness equal to or better than the lesser of (x) the credit rating of Dealer at the time of the transfer and (y) A- by Standard and Poor’s Rating Group, Inc. or its successor (“S&P”), or A3 by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or, if either S&P or Moody’s ceases to rate such debt, at least an equivalent rating or better by a substitute rating agency mutually agreed by Counterparty and Dealer. If at any time an Excess Ownership Position exists, Dealer may designate any Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to all or a portion of the Transaction (the “Terminated Portion”) such that following such termination no Excess Ownership Position exists; provided that Dealer may only designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to this Section 9(e)(i) if Dealer has used its good faith efforts to notify Counterparty of such Excess Ownership Position, and Dealer is unable, acting in good faith and after using its commercially reasonable efforts, to effect a transfer or assignment of Options to a third party in accordance with this Section 9(e)(i) on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to Dealer and within a time period reasonably acceptable Dealer such that no Excess Ownership Position exists. In the event that Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a Terminated Portion, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (1) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Transaction and a Number of Options equal to the number of Options underlying the Terminated Portion, (2) Counterparty were the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (3) the Terminated Portion were the sole Affected Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 9(k) shall apply to any amount that is payable by Dealer to Counterparty pursuant to this sentence as if Counterparty was not the Affected Party). The “Section 16 Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Dealer and each person subject to aggregation of Shares with Dealer under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder directly or indirectly beneficially own (as defined under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding. The “Option Equity Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the sum of (1) the product of the Number of Options and the Option Entitlement and (2) the aggregate number of Shares underlying any other call option transaction sold by Dealer to Counterparty, and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding. The “Share Amount” as of any day is the number of Shares that Dealer and any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Dealer (Dealer or any such person, a “Dealer Person”) under any law, rule, regulation, regulatory order or organizational documents or contracts of Counterparty that are, in each case, applicable to ownership of Shares (“Applicable Restrictions”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion. The “Applicable Share Limit” means a number of Shares equal to (A) the minimum number of Shares that could give rise to reporting or registration obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval from any person or entity) of a Dealer Person, minus (B) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding.

 

17



 

 

 

(iii)

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, or make or receive any payment in cash, to or from Counterparty, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities, or to make or receive such payment in cash, and otherwise to perform Dealer’s obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations; provided that Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty only to the extent of any such performance.

 

 

 

 

(f)

Staggered Settlement. If upon advice of counsel with respect to applicable legal and regulatory requirements, including any requirements relating to Dealer’s hedging activities hereunder, Dealer reasonably determines that it would not be practicable or advisable to deliver, or to acquire Shares to deliver, any or all of the Shares to be delivered by Dealer on the Settlement Date for the Transaction, Dealer may, by notice to Counterparty on or prior to any Settlement Date (a “Nominal Settlement Date”), elect to deliver the Shares on two or more dates (each, a “Staggered Settlement Date”) as follows:

 

 

 

 

 

 

(i)

in such notice, Dealer will specify to Counterparty the related Staggered Settlement Dates (the first of which will be such Nominal Settlement Date and the last of which will be no later than the twentieth (20th) Exchange Business Day following such Nominal Settlement Date) and the number of Shares that it will deliver on each Staggered Settlement Date;

 

 

 

 

 

 

(ii)

the aggregate number of Shares that Dealer will deliver to Counterparty hereunder on all such Staggered Settlement Dates will equal the number of Shares that Dealer would otherwise be required to deliver on such Nominal Settlement Date; and

 

 

 

 

 

 

(iii)

if the Net Share Settlement terms set forth above were to apply on the Nominal Settlement Date, then the Net Share Settlement terms will apply on each Staggered Settlement Date, except that the Net Shares will be allocated among such Staggered Settlement Dates as specified by Dealer in the notice referred to in clause (i) above.

 

 

 

 

 

(g)

Role of Agent. Each party agrees and acknowledges that (i) J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, an affiliate of JPMorgan (“JPMS”), has acted solely as agent and not as principal with respect to the Transaction and (ii) JPMS has no obligation or liability, by way of guaranty, endorsement or otherwise, in any manner in respect of the Transaction (including, if applicable, in respect of the settlement thereof). Each party agrees it will look solely to the other party (or any guarantor in respect thereof) for performance of such other party’s obligations under the Transaction.

 

 

 

 

(h)

Additional Termination Events. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation:

 

 

 

 

 

 

(i)

If an event of default with respect to Counterparty occurs under the terms of the Convertible Notes as set forth in Section 5.1 of the Base Indenture or Section 6.01 of the Supplemental Indenture and results in the Convertible Notes becoming due and payable pursuant to the terms of the Indenture before they would otherwise have been due and payable, then the occurrence of such event shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (A) Counterparty shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, (B) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (C) Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement.

 

 

 

 

 

 

(ii)

The receipt by Dealer from Counterparty, within the applicable time period set forth under “Notice of Exercise” above, of any Notice of Exercise in respect of Options that relates to Convertible Notes as to which additional Shares would be added to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 9.15 of the Supplemental Indenture in connection with a “Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Supplemental Indenture) shall

 

18



 

 

 

 

constitute an Additional Termination Event as provided in this Section 9(h)(ii). Upon receipt of any such Notice of Exercise, Dealer shall designate an Exchange Business Day following such Additional Termination Event (which Exchange Business Day shall be on or as promptly as reasonably practicable after the related settlement date for such Convertible Notes) as an Early Termination Date with respect to the portion of this Transaction corresponding to a number of Options (the “Make-Whole Conversion Options”) equal to the lesser of (A) the number of such Options specified in such Notice of Exercise and (B) the Number of Options as of the date Dealer designates such Early Termination Date and, as of such date, the Number of Options shall be reduced by the number of Make-Whole Conversion Options. Any payment hereunder with respect to such termination (the “Make-Whole Unwind Payment”) shall be calculated pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (1) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to this Transaction and a Number of Options equal to the number of Make-Whole Conversion Options, (2) Counterparty were the sole Affected Party with respect to such Additional Termination Event and (3) the terminated portion of the Transaction were the sole Affected Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, in determining the amount payable pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement, the Calculation Agent shall not take into account any adjustments to the Option Entitlement that result from corresponding adjustments to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 9.15 of the Supplemental Indenture) and shall take into account the time value of this Transaction with respect to the Expiration Date; provided that the amount of cash deliverable in respect of such early termination by Dealer to Counterparty shall not be greater than the product of (x) the Applicable Percentage and (y) the excess of (I) (1) the number of Make-Whole Conversion Options multiplied by (2) the Conversion Rate (after taking into account any applicable adjustments to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 9.15 of the Supplemental Indenture) multiplied by (3) a price per Share determined by the Calculation Agent over (II) the aggregate principal amount of such Convertible Notes, as determined by the Calculation Agent in a commercially reasonable manner. Counterparty may irrevocably elect, if so designated in its Notice of Exercise to Dealer as set forth above, to receive the Make-Whole Unwind Payment in Shares, in which case, in lieu of making such Make-Whole Unwind Payment as set forth above, Dealer shall deliver to Counterparty, within a commercially reasonable period of time after such designation as determined by Dealer (taking into account existing liquidity conditions and Dealer’s hedging and hedge unwind activity or settlement activity in connection with such delivery) a number of Shares equal to such Make-Whole Unwind Payment divided by a price per Share determined by the Calculation Agent in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner.

 

 

 

 

(i)

Amendments to Equity Definitions.

 

 

 

 

 

(i)

Section 12.6(a)(ii) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by (1) deleting from the fourth line thereof the word “or” after the word “official” and inserting a comma therefor, and (2) deleting the semi-colon at the end of subsection (B) thereof and inserting the following words therefor “or (C) at Dealer’s option, the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(1) through (9) of the ISDA Master Agreement with respect to Counterparty.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

(ii)

Section 12.9(b)(i) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by (1) replacing “either party may elect” with “Dealer may elect” and (2) replacing “notice to the other party” with “notice to Counterparty” in the first sentence of such section.

 

 

 

 

(j)

No Setoff. Neither party shall have the right to set off any obligation that it may have to the other party under the Transaction against any obligation such other party may have to it, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation or any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise.

 

19



 

 

(k)

Alternative Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events. If in respect of the Transaction, an amount is payable by Dealer to Counterparty (i) pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or (ii) pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (any such amount, a “Payment Obligation”), Counterparty may request Dealer to satisfy the Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative (as defined below) (except that Counterparty shall not have the right to make such an election in the event of (I) a Nationalization, Insolvency, Merger Event or Tender Offer, in each case, in which the consideration to be paid to holders of Shares consists solely of cash, (II) a Merger Event or Tender Offer that is within Counterparty’s control, or (III) 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 Event of Default of the type described in Section 5(a)(iii), (v), (vi), (vii) or (viii) of the Agreement or a Termination Event of the type described in Section 5(b) of the Agreement in each case that resulted from an event or events outside Counterparty’s control) and shall give irrevocable telephonic notice to Dealer, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day, no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Merger Date, the Tender Offer Date, the Announcement Date (in the case of Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), the Early Termination Date or date of cancellation, as applicable; provided that if Counterparty does not validly request Dealer to satisfy the Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative, Dealer shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to satisfy its Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative, notwithstanding Counterparty’s election to the contrary.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Share Termination Alternative:

If the Share Termination Alternative is applicable in respect of any Payment Obligation, Dealer shall deliver to Counterparty the Share Termination Delivery Property on, or within a commercially reasonable period of time after, the date when the Payment Obligation would otherwise be due pursuant to Section 12.7 or 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or Section 6(d)(ii) and 6(e) of the Agreement, as applicable (the “Share Termination Payment Date”), in satisfaction of the Payment Obligation in the manner reasonably requested by Counterparty free of payment.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Share Termination Delivery Property:

A number of Share Termination Delivery Units, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the Payment Obligation divided by the Share Termination Unit Price. The Calculation Agent shall adjust the Share Termination Delivery Property by replacing any fractional portion of a security therein with an amount of cash equal to the value of such fractional security based on the values used to calculate the Share Termination Unit Price.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Share Termination Unit Price:

The value to Dealer of property contained in one Share Termination Delivery Unit, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its discretion by commercially reasonable means and notified by the Calculation Agent to Dealer at the time of notification of the Payment Obligation. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that in determining the Share Termination Delivery Unit Price the Calculation Agent may consider the purchase price paid in connection with the purchase of Share Termination Delivery Property.

 

20



 

 

 

Share Termination Delivery Unit:

One Share or, if a Merger Event has occurred and a corresponding adjustment to the Transaction has been made, 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 Merger Event, as determined by the Calculation Agent.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Failure to Deliver:

Applicable

 

 

 

 

 

 

Other applicable provisions:

If Share Termination Alternative is applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.11, 9.12 and 10.5 (as modified above) of the Equity Definitions will be applicable, except that all references in such provisions to “Physically-settled” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Settled” and all references to “Shares” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Delivery Units”. “Share Termination Settled” in relation to the Transaction means that the Share Termination Alternative is applicable to the Transaction.

 

 

 

 

 

(l)

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 either 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.

 

 

 

 

(m)

Registration. Counterparty hereby agrees that if, in the good faith reasonable judgment of Dealer, based on the advice of legal counsel, the Shares (“Hedge Shares”) acquired by Dealer for the purpose of hedging its obligations pursuant to the Transaction cannot be sold in the public market by Dealer without registration under the Securities Act, Counterparty shall, at its election, either (i) in order to allow Dealer to sell the Hedge Shares in a registered offering, make available to Dealer an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and enter into an agreement, in customary form and in substance reasonably satisfactory to Dealer, substantially in the form of an underwriting agreement for a registered secondary offering of equity securities of companies comparable in size, maturity and line of business; provided, however, that if Dealer, in its sole reasonable discretion, is not satisfied with access to due diligence materials, the results of its due diligence investigation, or the procedures and documentation for the registered offering referred to above, then clause (ii) or clause (iii) of this paragraph shall apply at the election of Counterparty, (ii) in order to allow Dealer to sell the Hedge Shares in a private placement, enter into a private placement agreement substantially similar to private placement purchase agreements customary for private placements of equity securities of companies comparable in size, maturity and line of business (in which case, the Calculation Agent shall make any reasonable adjustments in good faith to the terms of the Transaction that are necessary, in its reasonable judgment, to compensate Dealer for any discount from the public market price of the Shares incurred on the sale of Hedge Shares in a private placement), or (iii) purchase the Hedge Shares from Dealer at the Relevant Price on such Exchange Business Days, and in the amounts, requested by Dealer.

 

 

 

 

(n)

Tax Disclosure. Effective from the date of commencement of discussions concerning the Transaction, Counterparty and each of its employees, representatives, or other agents may disclose to any and all persons, 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 to Counterparty relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.

(o)

Right to Extend. Dealer may postpone or add, in whole or in part, any Valid Day or Valid Days during the Settlement Averaging Period or any other date of valuation, payment or delivery by Dealer, with respect to some or all of the Options hereunder, if Dealer determines, in its commercially reasonable judgment, that such action is reasonably necessary or appropriate to preserve Dealer’s 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 Counterparty or an affiliated purchaser of Counterparty, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer; provided that in no event shall Dealer have the right to extend the Settlement Averaging Period more than 20 Valid Days.

 

 

 

 

(p)

Status of Claims in Bankruptcy. Dealer acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to convey to Dealer rights against Counterparty with respect to the Transaction that are senior to the claims of common stockholders of Counterparty in any United States bankruptcy proceedings of Counterparty; provided that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealer’s 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 Dealer’s rights in respect of any transactions other than the Transaction.

Each of Dealer and Counterparty represent and acknowledge to the other that, subject to the proviso included in this Section 9(t), upon an Early Unwind, all obligations with respect to the Transaction shall be deemed fully and finally discharged.
