or any other market relevant to the unwind of Citi’s Hedge Positions
maintained in connection with such Transaction, the average daily trading
volume of the Shares is materially smaller than the average daily trading
volume during the Hedging Period for such Transaction, Citi shall extend
the Valuation Period for such Transaction in the manner that would result
in the number of Shares, with respect to which such Transaction is unwound

percentage of the daily trading volume in the Shares as the average
percentage of the daily trading volume with respect to which Citi (or any
counterparty to a Hedge Position with Citi) established its Hedge
Positions for such Transaction during the Hedging Period for such
Transaction; provided, further that,
if as a result of any such extension, any Valuation Date for such

Hedging
and Valuation Disruption:
|
The
definition of “Market Disruption Event” in Section 6.3(a) of the Equity
Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the words “at any time during
the one-hour period that ends at the relevant Valuation Time, Latest
Exercise Time, Knock-in Valuation Time or Knock-out Valuation Time, as the
case may be” and inserting the words “at any time on any Scheduled Trading
Day during the Hedging Period or the Valuation Period” after the word
“material,” in the third line
thereof.
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the Equity Definitions, to the extent that a
Disrupted Day occurs (i) during the Hedging Period or the Valuation Period
for any Transaction, the Calculation Agent may, in its good faith and
commercially reasonable discretion, extend such Hedging Period or such
Valuation Period (and postpone the Final Termination Date for such
Transaction) by one Scheduled Trading Day for each such Disrupted Day, and
(ii) if any such Disrupted Day is a Disrupted Day because of a Market
Disruption Event (or a deemed Market Disruption Event as provided herein),
the Calculation Agent shall determine whether (A) such Disrupted Day is a
Disrupted Day in full, in which case the Reference Price for such
Disrupted Day shall not be used for purposes of determining the Initial
Price or the Final Price, as the case may be, or (B) such Disrupted Day is
a Disrupted Day only in part, in which case, the Reference Price for such
Disrupted Day shall be determined by the Calculation Agent based on any
transactions effected in the Shares on such Disrupted Day effected before
the relevant Market Disruption Event occurred and/or after the relevant
Market Disruption Event ended, and the weighting of the Reference Price
for such Disrupted Day used by the Calculation Agent for purposes of
determining the Initial Price or the Final Price shall be adjusted by the
Calculation Agent, in a commercially reasonable manner, with such
adjustment based on, among other factors, the duration of any Market
Disruption Event and the volume, historical trading patterns and price of
the Shares.
|
|
|
If
a Disrupted Day in full occurs during the Hedging Period or the Valuation
Period for any Transaction, and each of the five (5) Scheduled Trading
Days immediately following such Disrupted Day is also a Disrupted Day in
full, then the Calculation Agent, in its good faith and commercially
reasonable discretion, may deem such fifth (5th)
Scheduled Trading Day to be an Exchange Business Day that is not a
Disrupted Day and determine the Reference Price for such Scheduled Trading
Day using its good faith estimate of the value of the Shares on such
Scheduled Trading Day based on the volume, historical trading patterns and
price of the Shares and such other factors as it deems
appropriate.
|
|
Floating
Amounts Payment:
|
There
shall be no Floating Amount payable in connection with any Transaction
under this Master Confirmation.

|
|
Partial
Termination Event:
|
If
on any day during the Term of any Transaction under this Master
Confirmation, Citi determines that its Equity Percentage with respect to
all Transactions exceeds 9.9% under this Master Confirmation, an
Additional Termination Event shall be deemed to have occurred. Upon
the occurrence of such Additional Termination Event, Citi shall, by
written notice to Counterparty, designate an Early Termination Date
occurring as promptly as reasonably practicable following the occurrence
of such Additional Termination Event (such date, the “Partial Termination
Date”), with respect to any Transaction or a portion of such
Transaction such that (but solely to the extent necessary to ensure that),
after the termination relating to such Partial Termination Event, the
Equity Percentage, as determined by Citi, is 9.9%. In the event that
an Early Termination Date is designated pursuant to the immediately
preceding sentence, then with respect to the terminated portion of any
Transaction, (i) such portion shall be terminated as of the Partial
Termination Date as if an Additional Termination Event shall have occurred
under Section 5(b)(v) of the Agreement with respect to such terminated
portion, (ii) the relevant Partial Termination Date shall be an Early
Termination Date for such terminated portion, (iii) Counterparty shall be
the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination, (iv)
such terminated portion shall be the sole Affected Transaction under the
Agreement, and (v) the Number of Shares for such Transaction shall be
reduced by such terminated portion and all other terms of such
Transaction, including the Equity Notional Amount and the Equity Amount,
shall be reduced pro rata, as
determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion, to reflect
such partial termination.
|
|
The
“Equity
Percentage”, as of any day, means the fraction (i) the numerator of
which is equal to the aggregate Number of Shares for all Transactions
under this Master Confirmation and (ii) the denominator of which is equal
to the number of Shares outstanding on such
day.
|
|
Extraordinary
Dividends:
|
Any
dividend or distribution on the Shares, including any dividend or
distribution paid exclusively in cash (other than any dividend or
distribution of the type described in Section 11.2(e)(i), Section
11.2(e)(ii)(A) or Section 11.2(e)(ii)(B) of the Equity
Definitions).
|
|
of
Extraordinary Dividends:
|
In
the event of any Extraordinary Dividend for which the ex-dividend date
occurs during the period from, but excluding, the Trade Date for any
Transaction hereunder to, and including, the Termination Date for such
Transaction, Citi shall make a payment to Counterparty, within three (3)
Scheduled Trading Days of the date that such Extraordinary Dividend is
delivered or paid to holders of Shares, in an amount equal to (a) to the
extent of any such Extraordinary Dividend in the form of cash, the product
of (i) the Number of Shares for such Transaction and (ii) the amount of
cash that would be received by a holder of one Share in connection with
such Extraordinary Dividend, as determined by the Calculation Agent, and
(b) to the extent of any such Extraordinary Dividend in the form of other
property, the product of (i) the Number of Shares for such Transaction and
(ii) the fair market value of the property that would be received by a
holder of one Share in connection with such Extraordinary Dividend, as
determined by the Calculation Agent, in each case net any amounts withheld
by Citi in accordance with any applicable laws or regulations; provided, however, that
if the ex-dividend date occurs during the Valuation Period for any
Transaction hereunder, the Calculation Agent may reduce the amount of
any such payment to reflect the portion of Citi's Hedge Positions for such
Transaction that have been unwound during the period from, and including,
the initial Valuation Date for such Transaction to, and excluding, such
ex-dividend date.

“Extraordinary Dividends” above, except as specifically provided in such
provisions.
