SUBJECT:    Base Warrant Transaction

The purpose of this letter agreement (this “Confirmation”) is to confirm the terms and conditions of the Transaction entered into between Barclays Bank PLC (“Dealer”), through its agent Barclays Capital Inc. (the “Agent”), and DFC Global Corp. (“Counterparty”) on the Trade Date specified below (the “Transaction”). This Confirmation constitutes a “Confirmation” as referred to in the Master Agreement specified below. Dealer is regulated by the Financial Services Authority. Dealer is not a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation.

The definitions and provisions contained in the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “Equity Definitions”), as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc., are incorporated into this Confirmation. In the event of any inconsistency between the Equity Definitions and this Confirmation, this Confirmation shall govern. For purposes of the Equity Definitions, this Transaction shall be deemed to be a Share Option Transaction, and each reference herein to a Warrant shall be deemed to be a reference to a Call or an Option, as context requires.

Each party is hereby advised, and each such party acknowledges, that the other party has engaged in, or refrained from engaging in, substantial financial transactions and has taken other material actions in reliance upon the parties’ entry into the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates on the terms and conditions set forth below.

1. This Confirmation evidences a complete and binding agreement between Dealer and Counterparty as to the terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates. This Confirmation shall supplement, form a part of, and be subject to, an agreement in the form of the ISDA 1992 Master Agreement (Multicurrency – Cross Border) as if Dealer and Counterparty had executed an agreement (the “Agreement”) in such form (without any Schedule but with the “Cross-Default” provisions of Section 5(a)(vi) applicable to Counterparty (x) with a “Threshold Amount” of $15,000,000 and (y) the phrase “or becoming capable at such time of being declared” deleted from clause (1) of such Section 5(a)(vi), and with such other elections set forth in this Confirmation) on the Trade Date. In the event of any inconsistency between provisions of the Agreement and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will prevail for the purpose of the Transaction. The parties hereby agree that no Transaction other than the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates shall be governed by the Agreement.


2. The terms of the particular Transaction to which this Confirmation relates are as follows:

Components:    The Transaction will be divided into individual Components, each with the terms set forth in this Confirmation, and, in particular, with the Number of Warrants and Expiration Date set forth in this Confirmation.

   Calculation Agent shall not be obligated to disclose any proprietary models used by it for such determination or calculation.
Procedures for Exercise:
In respect of any Component   
Expiration Time:    The Valuation Time.
Expiration Date(s):    As provided in Schedule B to this Confirmation (or, if such date is not a Scheduled Trading Day, the next following Scheduled Trading Day that is not already an Expiration Date for another Component); provided that if that date is a Disrupted Day, the Expiration Date for such Component shall be the first succeeding Scheduled Trading Day that is not a Disrupted Day and is not or is not deemed to be an Expiration Date in respect of any other Component of the Transaction hereunder; and provided further that if the Expiration Date has not occurred pursuant to the preceding proviso as of the Final Disruption Date, the Calculation Agent shall have the right to elect, in its sole discretion, that the Final Disruption Date shall be the Expiration Date (irrespective of whether such date is a Disrupted Day or an Expiration Date in respect of any other Component for the Transaction) and the Settlement Price for the Final Disruption Date shall be determined by the Calculation Agent in a commercially reasonable manner. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary in the Equity Definitions, if a Market Disruption Event occurs on any Expiration Date, (i) the Calculation Agent may determine that such Expiration Date is a Disrupted Day only in part, in which case the Calculation Agent shall make adjustments to the number of Warrants for the relevant Component for which such day shall be the Expiration Date and shall designate the Scheduled Trading Day determined in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence as the Expiration Date for the remaining Warrants for such Component and (ii) the Settlement Price for such Disrupted Day may be adjusted by the Calculation Agent as appropriate on the basis of the nature and duration of the relevant Market Disruption Event.

   restating clause (a)(iii) thereof in its entirety to read as follows: “(iii) an Early Closure that the Calculation Agent determines is material” and by adding the words “or, (iv) a Regulatory Disruption” after clause (a)(iii) as restated above.
   Section 6.3(d) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the remainder of the provision following the term “Scheduled Closing Time” in the fourth line thereof.

Disrupted Day:    The definition of “Disrupted Day” in Section 6.4 of the Equity Definitions shall be amended by adding the following sentence after the first sentence: “A Scheduled Trading Day on which a Related Exchange fails to open during its regular trading session will not be a Disrupted Day if the Calculation Agent determines that such failure will not have a material impact on Dealer’s ability to unwind any hedging transactions related to the Transaction.”
Valuation:   
In respect of any Component   
Valuation Time:    Scheduled Closing Time; provided that if the principal trading session is extended, the Calculation Agent shall determine the Valuation Time in its reasonable discretion.
Valuation Date:    The Expiration Date.
Settlement Terms:   
In respect of any Component   
Settlement Method:    Net Share Settlement.
Net Share Settlement:    On each Settlement Date, Counterparty shall deliver to Dealer a number of Shares equal to the Net Share Amount for such Settlement Date to the account specified by Dealer, and cash in lieu of any fractional shares valued at the Settlement Price for the Valuation Date corresponding to such Settlement Date. If, in the good faith and commercially reasonable judgment of Dealer, the Shares deliverable hereunder would not be immediately freely transferable by Dealer under Rule 144 (or any successor provision, collectively, “Rule 144”) under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), then Dealer may elect to either (x) accept delivery of such Shares notwithstanding the fact that such Shares are not freely transferable by Dealer under Rule 144 or (y) require that such delivery take place pursuant to paragraph 5(j) below.
Net Share Amount:    The Option Cash Settlement Amount divided by the Settlement Price, each determined as if Cash Settlement applied.

Settlement Price:    On any Valuation Date, the per Share volume-weighted average price as displayed under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP” on Bloomberg page “DLLR <equity> AQR” (or any successor thereto) in respect of the period from the scheduled opening time of the Exchange to the Scheduled Closing Time on such Valuation Date (or if such volume-weighted average price is unavailable or is manifestly incorrect, the market value of one Share on such Valuation Date, as determined by the Calculation Agent).
Settlement Date(s):    As determined in reference to Section 9.4 of the Equity Definitions, subject to paragraph 5(j) hereof.
Other Provisions Applicable to Net Share Settlement:    The provisions of Sections 9.1(c), 9.4 (except that “Settlement Date” shall be as defined above, unless a Settlement Disruption Event prevents delivery of such Shares on that date), 9.8, 9.9, 9.11 (as modified herein), 9.12 and 10.5 of the Equity Definitions will be applicable, as if “Physical Settlement” applied to the Transaction.
Representation and Agreement:    Notwithstanding Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions, the parties acknowledge that any Shares delivered to Dealer may be, upon delivery, subject to restrictions and limitations arising from Counterparty’s status as issuer of the Shares under applicable securities laws as a result of the fact that Counterparty is the issuer of the Shares.
Dividends:   
Dividend Adjustments:    If at any time during the period from but excluding the Trade Date, to and including the final Expiration Date an ex-dividend date for a cash dividend occurs with respect to the Shares, then the Calculation Agent will adjust the Strike Price, the Number of Warrants, the Warrant Entitlement and other variables as it determines to be commercially reasonable.
Adjustments:   
Method of Adjustment:    Calculation Agent Adjustment; provided that the Equity Definitions shall be amended by replacing the words “diluting or concentrative” in Sections 11.2(a), 11.2(c) (in two instances) and 11.2(e)(vii) with the word “material” and by adding the words “or the Transaction” after the words “theoretical value of the relevant Shares” in Section 11.2(a), 11.2(c) and 11.2(e)(vii); provided, further that adjustments may be made to account for changes in volatility, expected dividends, stock loan rate and liquidity relative to the relevant Shares.

  (r) During the Settlement Period and on any other Exercise Date, neither Counterparty nor any “affiliate” or “affiliated purchaser” (each as defined in Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act (“Rule 10b-18”)) shall 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, except through Dealer; and

 

  (s) Counterparty agrees that it (A) will not during the Settlement Period (to the extent within Counterparty’s reasonable control) 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; (B) shall promptly (but in any event prior to the next opening of the regular trading session on the Exchange) notify Dealer 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 Dealer 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 Dealer 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 Dealer that such information is true and correct. In addition, Counterparty shall promptly notify Dealer 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.

5. Other Provisions:

 

  (a) Method of Delivery. Whenever delivery of funds or other assets is required hereunder by or to Counterparty, such delivery shall be effected through Agent. In addition, all notices, demands and communications of any kind relating to the Transaction between Dealer and Counterparty shall be transmitted exclusively through Agent.

 

  (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 such day if following such repurchase, the Warrant Equity Percentage as determined on such day is (i) equal to or greater than 8.0% or (ii) greater by 0.5% than the Warrant Equity Percentage included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice (or, in the case of the first such Repurchase Notice, greater than the Warrant Equity Percentage as of the Trade Date). The “Warrant Equity Percentage” as of any day is the fraction (A) the numerator of which is the sum of (1) the product of the Number of Warrants in aggregate and the Option Entitlement in respect of the Transaction and (2) aggregate number of Shares underlying any other warrants bought by Dealer from Counterparty, and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day. 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 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, and to reimburse, within 30 days, upon written request, each of such Indemnified Persons for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in

 

12


  connection with investigating, preparing for, providing testimony or other evidence in connection with or defending any of the foregoing. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against the Indemnified Person in respect of the foregoing, 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, 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 or could have been a party and indemnity could have 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 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) Transfer or Assignment. Counterparty may not transfer or assign any of its rights or obligations under the Transaction without the prior written consent of Dealer. Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement to the contrary, Dealer may, subject to applicable law, freely transfer and assign all of its rights and obligations under the Transaction without the consent of Counterparty, to (x) any affiliate of Dealer, or (y) to any third party; provided that in the case of clause (x) or (y), Counterparty will not, as a result of such transfer and/or assignment, be required under the Agreement or this Confirmation to (i) pay to the transferee or assignee an amount greater than the amount that it would have been required to pay to Dealer in the absence of such transfer or assignment or (ii) receive from the transferee or assignee an amount less than the amount that Counterparty would have received from Dealer in the absence of such transfer or assignment, in each case, based on the circumstances in effect on the date of such transfer or assignment. Dealer shall provide Counterparty with written notice of any assignment pursuant to clause (x).

If at any time at which (1) the Equity Percentage exceeds 8.0% or (2) Dealer, Dealer Group (as defined below) or any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Dealer or Dealer Group (Dealer, Dealer Group or any such person, a “Dealer Person”) under Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL Takeover Statute”) and under any relevant state corporate law or any state or federal bank holding company or banking laws, or other federal, state or local regulations or regulatory orders applicable to ownership of Shares (“Applicable Laws”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership in excess of a number of Shares equal to (x) the number of Shares that would give rise to reporting or registration obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval by a state or federal regulator) of a Dealer Person under Applicable Laws (including, without limitation, “interested stockholder” or “acquiring person” status under the DGCL Takeover Statute) and with respect to which such requirements have not been met or the relevant approval has not been received minus (y) 1.0% of the number of Shares outstanding on the date of determination (either such condition described in clause (1) or (2), an “Excess Ownership Position”) and Dealer is unable, after commercially reasonable

 

13


efforts, to effect a transfer or assignment on pricing terms and within a time period reasonably acceptable to it of all or a portion of the Transaction such that an Excess Ownership Position no longer exists, Dealer may designate any Scheduled Trading Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion (the “Terminated Portion”) of the Transaction, such that an Excess Ownership Position no longer exists. In the event that Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of this Transaction, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (x) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to this Transaction and a Number of Shares equal to the Terminated Portion, (y) Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (z) such Transaction shall be the only Terminated Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of paragraph 5(i) shall apply to any amount that is payable by Dealer to Counterparty pursuant to this sentence). The “Equity 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 any of its affiliates subject to aggregation with Dealer, for purposes of the “beneficial ownership” test under Section 13 of the Exchange Act, and all persons who may form a “group” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act) with Dealer (“Dealer Group”), beneficially own (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act) on such day and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to or from Counterparty, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities and otherwise to perform Dealer’s obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such performance.

 

  (d) Role of Agent. Each of Dealer 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 Dealer 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) Dealer 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 Dealer 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 Dealer.

 

  (e) Regulatory Provisions. The time of dealing for the Transaction will be confirmed by Dealer 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 the Transaction.

 

  (f) Additional Termination Events. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an Additional Termination Event with respect to which (1) Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party and (2) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction; provided that with respect to any of the following Additional Termination Events, Dealer may choose to treat part of the Transaction as the sole Affected Transaction, and, upon termination of the Affected Transaction, a Transaction with a Number of Warrants equal to the unaffected number of Warrants shall be treated for all purposes as the Transaction, which shall remain in full force and effect and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be subject to all relevant provisions and adjustments as if an Additional Termination Event had not occurred:

 

  (i) if at any time Dealer is unable, or reasonably determines that it is inadvisable, to hedge its obligations pursuant to this Transaction in the public market without registration under the Securities Act or as a result of any legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements or related policies and procedures (whether or not such requirements, policies or procedures are imposed by law or have been voluntarily adopted by Dealer);

 

14


  (ii) a “person” or “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, files a Schedule TO or any schedule, form or report under the Exchange Act disclosing that such person or group has become the direct or indirect “beneficial owner,” as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, of shares of common stock of Counterparty representing more than 50% of the voting power of common stock of Counterparty entitled to vote generally in the election of directors;

 

  (iii) a majority of the members of Counterparty’s board of directors does not consist of Continuing Directors (as defined below);

A “Continuing Director” means a director who either was a member of Counterparty’s board of directors on the Premium Payment Date or who becomes a member of Counterparty’s board of directors subsequent to that date and whose appointment, election or nomination for election by Counterparty’s shareholders is duly approved by a majority of the Continuing Directors on Counterparty’s board of directors at the time of such approval, either by specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement issued by Counterparty on behalf of the Counterparty’s board of directors in which such individual is named as nominee for director.

 

  (iv) A consolidation, merger or binding share exchange or any conveyance, transfer, sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of Counterparty to another person; provided, however, the following transaction shall not be an Additional Termination Event: (i) any transaction that does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of the capital stock of Counterparty, (ii) a transaction pursuant to which the holders of the capital stock of Counterparty immediately before such transaction have the entitlement to exercise, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the total voting power of all shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in elections of directors of the continuing or surviving or successor person immediately after giving effect to such transaction, (iii) any merger, share exchange, transfer of assets or similar transaction solely for the purpose of changing the jurisdiction of incorporation of Counterparty and resulting in a reclassification, conversion or exchange of the Shares, if at all, solely into common stock, ordinary shares or American Depositary Shares of the surviving entity or a direct or indirect parent of the surviving entity or (iv) any consolidation or merger with or into any of the subsidiaries of Counterparty, so long as such merger or consolidation is not part of a plan or a series of transactions designed to or having the effect of merging or consolidating with any other person;

 

  (v) the Shares are not listed or admitted for trading on a U.S. national or regional securities exchange; or

 

  (vi) Counterparty’s stockholders approve any plan or proposal for liquidation of Counterparty.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any transaction or event described in clause (ii) or (iv) above will not constitute an Additional Termination Event if, in connection with such transaction or event, or as a result therefrom, at least 90% of the consideration paid for the Shares (excluding cash payments for fractional Shares, cash payments made pursuant to dissenters’ appraisal rights and cash dividends) consists of shares of common stock traded on any of the New York Stock

 

15


Exchange, the NASDAQ Global Market or the NASDAQ Global Select Market (or any of their respective successors) (or will be so traded or quoted immediately following the completion of the relevant transaction).

 

  (g) 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.

 

  (h) 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.

 

  (i)

Alternative Calculations and Counterparty Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events. If Counterparty owes Dealer 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 (except in the case of an Extraordinary Event in which the consideration or proceeds to be paid to holders of Shares as a result of such event consists solely of cash) or (ii) pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (except in the case of an Event of Default in which Counterparty is the Defaulting Party or a Termination Event in which Counterparty is the Affected Party, other than (x) an Event of Default of the type described in Section 5(a)(iii), (v), (vi) or (vii) of the Agreement or (y) a Termination Event of the type described in Section 5(b)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) or (vi) of the Agreement that in the case of either (x) or (y) resulted from an event or events outside Counterparty’s control) (a “Payment Obligation”), Counterparty shall satisfy any such Payment Obligation by delivery of Termination Delivery Units (as defined below), unless Counterparty elects to satisfy any such Payment Obligation by delivering cash (in which case the provisions in Sections 12.2, 12.3, 12.6, 12.7 or 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, as the case may be, shall apply in lieu of the provision set forth in this paragraph below) by giving irrevocable telephonic notice of such election to Dealer, 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” has the meaning set forth in Section 4(j)). Unless Counterparty timely elects to satisfy any such Payment Obligation by delivering cash, within a commercially reasonable period of time following the relevant Early Termination Date or other relevant date on which the Transaction is cancelled or terminated, as applicable, Counterparty shall deliver to Dealer a number of Termination Delivery Units having a fair market value (net of any brokerage and underwriting commissions and fees, including any customary private placement 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). In addition, if, in the good faith, commercially reasonable judgment of Dealer, for any reason, the Termination Delivery Units deliverable pursuant to this paragraph would not be immediately freely transferable by Dealer under Rule 144, then Dealer may elect either to (x) accept delivery of such Termination Delivery Units notwithstanding any restriction on transfer or (y) require that such delivery take place pursuant to paragraph 5(j) below. If the provisions set forth in this paragraph are applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.10, 9.11 (modified as described above) and 9.12 of the Equity Definitions shall be applicable, except that all references to

 

16


  “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. In the event that an Early Termination Date or Additional Termination Event occurs or is designated with respect to the Transaction as a result of a Termination Event or an Event of Default and, as a result, Dealer owes an amount to the Counterparty, such amount shall be deemed to be zero.

 

  (j) Registration/Private Placement Procedures. If, in the reasonable opinion of Dealer, following any delivery of Shares or Termination Delivery Units to Dealer hereunder, such Shares or Termination Delivery Units would be in the hands of Dealer subject to any applicable restrictions with respect to any registration or qualification requirement or prospectus delivery requirement for such Shares or Termination Delivery Units pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities law (including, without limitation, any such requirement arising under Section 5 of the Securities Act as a result of such Shares or Termination Delivery Units being “restricted securities”, as such term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or as a result of the sale of such Shares or Termination Delivery Units) (such Shares or Termination Delivery Units, “Restricted Shares”), then, unless waived by Dealer, delivery of such Restricted Shares shall be effected pursuant to either clause (i) or (ii) below at the election of Counterparty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely in respect of any Daily Number of Warrants exercised or deemed exercised on any Expiration Date, Counterparty shall elect, prior to the first Settlement Date for the first Expiration Date, a Private Placement Settlement (as defined below) or Registered Settlement (as defined below) for all deliveries of Restricted Shares for all such Expiration Dates which election shall be applicable to all Settlement Dates for such Warrants and the procedures in clause (i) or clause (ii) below shall apply for all such delivered Restricted Shares on an aggregate basis commencing after the final Settlement Date for such Warrants. The Calculation Agent shall make reasonable adjustments to settlement terms and provisions under this Confirmation to reflect a single Private Placement or Registered Settlement for such aggregate Restricted Shares delivered hereunder.

 

  (i)

If Counterparty elects to settle the Transaction pursuant to this clause (i) (a “Private Placement Settlement”), then delivery of Restricted Shares by Counterparty shall be effected in customary private placement procedures with respect to such Restricted Shares reasonably acceptable to Dealer; provided that Counterparty may not elect a Private Placement Settlement if, on the date of its election, it 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 Counterparty to Dealer (or any affiliate designated by Dealer) 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 Dealer (or any such affiliate of Dealer). The Private Placement Settlement of such Restricted Shares shall include customary representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to Dealer, due diligence rights (for Dealer or any designated buyer of the Restricted Shares by Dealer), opinions and certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for private placement agreements involving equity offerings of similar size, all reasonably acceptable to Dealer. In the case of a Private Placement Settlement, Dealer shall determine the appropriate discount (in the case of settlement of Termination Delivery Units pursuant to paragraph 5(i) above) or any Settlement Price (in the case of settlement of Shares pursuant to Section 2 above) applicable to such Restricted Shares in a commercially reasonable manner and

 

17


  appropriately adjust the number of such Restricted Shares to be delivered to Dealer hereunder. Notwithstanding the Agreement or this Confirmation, the date of delivery of such Restricted Shares shall be the Scheduled Trading Day following notice by Dealer to Counterparty, of such applicable discount and 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 date described in paragraph 5(i) (in the case of settlement of Termination Delivery Units) or on the Settlement Date (in the case of settlement in Shares pursuant to Section 2 above).

In the event Counterparty shall not have delivered the full number of Restricted Shares otherwise applicable as a result of the proviso above relating to the Maximum Amount (such deficit, the “Deficit Restricted Shares”), Counterparty shall be continually obligated to deliver, from time to time until the full number of Deficit Restricted Shares have been delivered pursuant to this paragraph, Restricted Shares when, and to the extent, that (i) Shares are repurchased, acquired or otherwise received by Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries after the Trade Date (whether or not in exchange for cash, fair value or any other consideration), (ii) Counterparty authorizes Shares reserved for issuance in respect of other transactions prior to such date which prior to the relevant date become no longer so reserved and (iii) Counterparty additionally authorizes any unissued Shares that are not reserved for other transactions. Counterparty shall immediately notify Dealer of the occurrence of any of the foregoing events (including the number of Shares subject to clause (i), (ii) or (iii) and the corresponding number of Restricted Shares to be delivered) and promptly deliver such Restricted Shares thereafter.

In the event of a Private Placement, the Net Share Settlement Amount or the Payment Obligation, respectively, shall be deemed to be the Net Share Settlement Amount or the Payment Obligation, respectively, plus an additional amount (determined from time to time by the Calculation Agent in its commercially reasonable judgment) attributable to interest that would be earned on such Net Share Settlement Amount or the Payment Obligation, respectively, (increased on a daily basis to reflect the accrual of such interest and reduced from time to time by the amount of net proceeds received by Dealer as provided herein) at a rate equal to the open Federal Funds Rate plus the Spread (calculated on an Actual/360 basis) for the period from, and including, such Settlement Date or the date on which the Payment Obligation is due, respectively, to, but excluding, the related date on which all the Restricted Shares have been sold or such Shares are no longer Restricted Shares. The foregoing provision shall be without prejudice to Dealer’s rights under the Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 5 and 6 thereof).

As used in this Section, “Spread” means, with respect to any Net Share Settlement Amount or Payment Obligation, respectively, the credit spread over the applicable overnight rate that would be imposed if Dealer were to extend credit to Company in an amount equal to such Net Share Settlement Amount or Payment Obligation, all as determined by the Calculation Agent using its commercially reasonable judgment as of the related Settlement Date or the date on which the Payment Obligation is due, respectively. Commercial reasonableness shall take into consideration all factors deemed relevant by the Calculation Agent, which are expected to include, among other things, the credit quality of Counterparty (and any relevant affiliates) in the then-prevailing market and the credit spread of similar companies in the relevant industry and other companies having a substantially similar credit quality.

 

18


  (ii) If Counterparty elects to settle the Transaction pursuant to this clause (ii) (a “Registration Settlement”), then Counterparty shall promptly (but in any event no later than the beginning of the Resale Period (as defined below)) file and use its reasonable best efforts to make effective under the Securities Act a registration statement or supplement or amend an outstanding registration statement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Dealer, to cover the resale of such Restricted Shares (and any Make-whole Shares) in accordance with customary resale registration procedures, including covenants, conditions, representations, underwriting discounts (if applicable), commissions (if applicable), indemnities due diligence rights, opinions and certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for equity resale underwriting agreements, all reasonably acceptable to Dealer. If Dealer, in its sole reasonable discretion, is not satisfied with such procedures and documentation Private Placement Settlement shall apply. If Dealer is satisfied with such procedures and documentation, it shall sell the Restricted Shares pursuant to such registration statement during a period (the “Resale Period”) commencing on the Exchange Business Day following delivery of such Restricted Shares (and any Make-whole Shares) and ending on the earliest of (i) the Exchange Business Day on which Dealer completes the sale of all Restricted Shares or, in the case of settlement of Termination Delivery Units, a sufficient number of Restricted Shares so that the realized net proceeds of such sales exceed the Payment Obligation (as defined above) and (ii) the date upon which all Restricted Shares have been sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 (or similar provisions then in force) or Rule 145(d)(1) or (2) (or any similar provision then in force) under the Securities Act.

 

  (iii) If (ii) above is applicable and the Net Share Settlement Amount or the Payment Obligation, as applicable, exceeds the realized net proceeds from such resale, or if (i) above is applicable and the Freely Tradeable Value (as defined below) of the Net Share Settlement Amount or the Payment Obligation (in each case as adjusted pursuant to (i) above), as applicable, exceeds the realized net proceeds from such resale, Counterparty shall transfer to Dealer by the open of the regular trading session on the Exchange on the Exchange Trading Day immediately following the last day of the Resale Period the amount of such excess (the “Additional Amount”), at Counterparty’s option, either in cash or in a number of Shares (“Make-whole Shares”; provided that the aggregate number of Shares and Make-whole Shares delivered shall not exceed the Maximum Amount) that, based on the Settlement Price on the last day of the Resale Period (as if such day was the “Valuation Date” for purposes of computing such Settlement Price), has a value equal to the Additional Amount. The Resale Period shall continue to enable the sale of the Make-whole Shares. If Counterparty elects to pay the Additional Amount in Make-whole Shares, the requirements and provisions for either Private Placement Settlement or Registration Settlement shall apply to such payment. This provision shall be applied successively until the Additional Amount is equal to zero, subject to paragraph 5(m) below. “Freely Tradeable Value” means the value of the number of Shares delivered to Dealer which such Shares would have if they were freely tradeable (without prospectus delivery) upon receipt by Dealer, as determined by the Calculation Agent by commercially reasonable means.

 

  (iv)

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Counterparty agrees that any Restricted Shares delivered to Dealer, as purchaser of such Restricted Shares, (A) may be transferred by and among Dealer and its affiliates and Counterparty shall effect such transfer without any further action by Dealer and (B) after the minimum “holding period” within the meaning of Rule 144(d) under the

 

19


  Securities Act has elapsed after any settlement date for such Restricted Shares, Counterparty shall promptly remove, or cause the transfer agent for such Restricted Shares to remove, any legends referring to any such restrictions or requirements from such Restricted Shares upon delivery by Dealer (or such affiliate of Dealer) to Counterparty or such transfer agent of seller’s and broker’s representation letters customarily delivered by Dealer in connection with resales of restricted securities pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, 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 Dealer (or such affiliate of Dealer).

If the Private Placement Settlement or the Registration Settlement shall not be effected as set forth in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), as applicable, then failure to effect such Private Placement Settlement or such Registration Settlement shall constitute an Event of Default with respect to which Counterparty shall be the Defaulting Party.

 

  (k) Limit on Beneficial Ownership. Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, Dealer may not exercise any Warrant hereunder, and no delivery hereunder (including pursuant to paragraphs 5(i), (j), (l) or (m)) shall be made (including, for the avoidance of doubt, upon any “Automatic Exercise” of Warrants hereunder), to the extent (but only to the extent) that, the receipt of any Shares upon such exercise or delivery would result in the existence of an Excess Ownership Position. Any purported delivery hereunder shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that such delivery would result in the existence of an Excess Ownership Position. If any delivery owed to Dealer hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, Counterparty’s obligation to make such delivery and Dealer’s right to exercise a Warrant shall not be extinguished and Counterparty shall make such delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than one Scheduled Trading Day after, Dealer gives notice to Counterparty that, such exercise or delivery would not result in the existence of an Excess Ownership Position.

 

  (l)

Share Deliveries. Counterparty acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent that Dealer is not then an affiliate, as such term is used in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, of Counterparty and has not been such an affiliate of Counterparty for 90 days (it being understood that Dealer shall not be considered such an affiliate of Counterparty solely by reason of its receipt of or right to receive Shares pursuant to this Transaction), and otherwise satisfies all holding period and other requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act applicable to it, any Shares or Termination Delivery Units delivered hereunder at any time after 1 year from the Premium Payment Date shall be eligible for resale under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and Counterparty agrees to promptly remove, or cause the transfer agent for such Shares or Termination Delivery Units to remove, any legends referring to any restrictions on resale under the Securities Act from the certificates representing such Shares or Termination Delivery Units. Counterparty further agrees that with respect to any Shares or Termination Delivery Units delivered hereunder at any time after 6 months from the Premium Payment Date but prior to 1 year from the Premium Payment Date, to the extent that Counterparty then satisfies the current information requirement of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, Counterparty shall promptly remove, or cause the transfer agent for such Shares or Termination Delivery Units to remove, any legends referring to any such restrictions or requirements from the certificates representing such Shares or Termination Delivery Units upon delivery by Dealer to Counterparty or such transfer agent of customary seller’s and broker’s representation letters in connection with resales of such Shares or Termination Delivery Units pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, 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 Dealer. Counterparty further agrees and acknowledges that Dealer shall run a holding period under Rule

  144 under the Securities Act with respect to the Warrants and/or any Shares or Termination Delivery Units delivered hereunder notwithstanding the existence of any other transaction or transactions between Counterparty and Dealer relating to the Shares. Counterparty further agrees that Shares or Termination Delivery Units delivered hereunder prior to the date that is 6 months from the Premium Payment Date may be freely transferred by Dealer to its affiliates, and Counterparty shall effect such transfer without any further action by Dealer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Counterparty agrees that any delivery of Shares or Termination Delivery Units shall be effected by book-entry transfer through the facilities of the Clearance System if, at the time of such delivery, the certificates representing such Shares or Termination Delivery Units would not contain any restrictive legend as described above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent the provisions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any successor rule are amended, or the applicable interpretation thereof by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any court changes after the Trade Date, including without limitation to lengthen or shorten the holding periods, the agreements of Counterparty herein shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary, in the opinion of outside counsel of Counterparty, to comply with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, including Rule 144, as in effect at the time of delivery of the relevant Shares or Termination Delivery Units.

 

  (m) Maximum Share Delivery. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Confirmation or the Agreement, in no event will Counterparty be required to deliver more than 5,862,025 Shares (the “Maximum Amount”) in the aggregate to Dealer in connection with the Transaction.

  (o) Tax Disclosure.

  (p) Status of Claims in Bankruptcy. Dealer acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to convey to Dealer 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 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.

 

  (q) Securities Contract; Swap Agreement. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that Dealer 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 Dealer 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.

 

21


  (r) Right to Extend. Dealer may postpone any potential Expiration Date or postpone or extend any other date of valuation or delivery with respect to some or all of the relevant Warrants (in which event the Calculation Agent shall make appropriate adjustments to the Net Share Amount for such Expiration Date), if Dealer determines, in its reasonable discretion based on the advice of counsel, that such postponement or extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate to preserve Dealer’s or its affiliate’s hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions or to enable Dealer or its affiliate to effect purchases or sale of Shares in connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if Dealer or such affiliate were Issuer or an affiliated purchaser of Issuer, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer and/or such affiliate. For the avoidance of doubt, Dealer shall not exercise its rights under this Section 5(r) in a discriminatory manner.

 

  (s) Payments on Early Termination. The parties hereto agree that for the Transaction, for the purposes of Section 6(e) of the Agreement, Second Method and Loss will apply. The Termination Currency shall be USD.

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.
