Dear Sir(s):
The purpose of this communication (this Confirmation) is to set forth the terms and
conditions of the above-referenced transaction entered into on the Trade Date specified below (the
Transaction) between Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc (Dealer) and BorgWarner
Inc. (Counterparty). This communication constitutes a Confirmation as referred to in
the ISDA Master Agreement specified below.
This Confirmation is subject to, and incorporates, the definitions and provisions of the 2006
ISDA Definitions (the 2006 Definitions) and the definitions and provisions of the 2002 ISDA
Equity Derivatives Definitions (the Equity Definitions, and together with the 2006 Definitions,
the Definitions), in each case as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives
Association, Inc. (ISDA). In the event of any inconsistency between the 2006 Definitions and the
Equity Definitions, the Equity Definitions will govern. Certain defined terms used herein have the
meanings assigned to them in the Prospectus Supplement dated April 6, 2009 to the Prospectus dated
March 4, 2008 (the Prospectus Supplement) and the Supplemental Indenture, to be dated as of the
closing date of the initial issuance of the Convertible Securities described below, to the Senior
Indenture dated as of September 23, 1999 between Counterparty and The Bank of New York Trust
Company, N.A., as trustee (together, the Indenture), each relating to the USD325 million
principal amount of 3.50% convertible senior notes due April 15, 2012 (the Convertible
Securities). In the event of any inconsistency between the terms defined in the Indenture or
defined in the Prospectus Supplement and this Confirmation, this Confirmation shall govern. For
the avoidance of doubt, references herein to provisions of the Indenture are based on the
description of the Convertible Securities set forth in the Prospectus Supplement. If any relevant
provisions of the Indenture differ in any material respect from those described in the Prospectus
Supplement, the parties will, if appropriate, amend this Confirmation in good faith to preserve the
economic intent of the parties. The parties further acknowledge that references to the Indenture
herein are references to the Indenture as in effect on the date of its execution, and if the
Indenture is amended, modified or supplemented following its execution, any such amendment,
modification or supplement will be disregarded for purposes of this Confirmation (other than for
purposes of Section 8(b) below) unless the parties agree otherwise in writing. The Transaction is
subject to early unwind if the closing of the Convertible Securities is not consummated for any
reason, as set forth below in Section 8(k).
1
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.
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 be
subject to an agreement (the Agreement) in the form of the 1992 ISDA Master Agreement
(MulticurrencyCross Border) as if Dealer and Counterparty had executed an agreement in such form
on the date hereof (but without any Schedule except for (i) the election of Loss and Second Method
and US Dollars (USD) as the Termination Currency, (ii) the replacement of the word third in the
last line of Section 5(a)(i) of the Agreement with the word second, (iii) the election that the
Cross Default provisions of Section 5(a)(vi) of the Agreement shall apply to Counterparty with a
Threshold Amount of USD25 million and (iv) such other elections as set forth in this
Confirmation.
All provisions contained in, or incorporated by reference to, the Agreement will govern this
Confirmation except as expressly modified herein. In the event of any inconsistency between this
Confirmation and either the Definitions or the Agreement, this Confirmation shall govern.
The Transaction hereunder shall be the sole Transaction under the Agreement. If there exists
any ISDA Master Agreement between Dealer and Counterparty or any confirmation or other agreement
between Dealer and Counterparty pursuant to which an ISDA Master Agreement is deemed to exist
between Dealer and Counterparty, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in such ISDA Master
Agreement, such confirmation or agreement or any other agreement to which Dealer and Counterparty
are parties, the Transaction shall not be considered a Transaction under, or otherwise governed by,
such existing or deemed ISDA Master Agreement.

described in the Prospectus Supplement under Description of Notes Conversion Rights
Settlement upon Conversion and/or the aggregate amount of cash, if any, in excess

would be obligated to deliver to holder(s) pursuant to the section of the Indenture
containing the provisions described in the Prospectus Supplement under Description of
Notes Conversion Rights Settlement upon Conversion and cash in lieu of fractional
Shares, if any, as if Counterparty had elected to satisfy its conversion obligation in

the foregoing, in all events the Delivery
Obligation shall be capped so that the value of
the Delivery Obligation does not exceed the
Applicable Percentage of the value of the
Convertible Obligation (with the Convertible
Obligation determined based on the actual
settlement method elected by Counterparty with
respect to such Relevant Convertible Securities
instead of the Convertible Security Settlement
Method and with the value of any Shares included

Convertible Obligation determined by the
Calculation Agent using the VWAP Price on the
last day of the relevant Cash Settlement
Averaging Period (as modified herein)). |

For any Relevant Convertible Securities, if
Counterparty has notified Dealer in the related Notice of Exercise (or in the Notice

conversion obligation in respect of such Relevant Convertible Securities in cash or in
a combination of cash and Shares in accordance with the section of the Indenture
containing the provisions described in the Prospectus Supplement under Description
of Notes Conversion Rights Settlement upon Conversion (a Cash Election) with a
Specified Dollar Amount (as defined in the Indenture as described in the Prospectus
Supplement under Description of Notes Conversion Rights Settlement upon
Conversion) of at least USD1,000, the Convertible Security Settlement Method shall be
the settlement method actually so elected or deemed to have been elected by
Counterparty in the related Notice of Exercise or the related Notice of Specified
Dollar Amount, as the case may be, in respect of such Relevant Convertible Securities;
otherwise, the Convertible Security Settlement Method shall (i) assume Counterparty
had made a Cash Election with respect to such Relevant Convertible Securities with a
Specified Dollar Amount (as defined in the Indenture as described in the Prospectus
Supplement under Description of Notes Conversion Rights Settlement upon
Conversion) of USD1,000 per Relevant Convertible Security and (ii) be calculated as
if the relevant Cash Settlement Averaging Period consisted of 80 Trading Days

8
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
No later than the second Exchange Business Day immediately
following the last day of the relevant Cash Settlement Averaging Period (as modified
herein), Counterparty shall give Dealer notice of the final number of Shares and/or
cash comprising the Convertible Obligation; provided that, with respect to any
Exercise Date occurring during the Final Convertibility Period, Counterparty may
provide Dealer with a single notice of an aggregate number of Shares and/or cash
comprising the Convertible Obligations for all Exercise Dates occurring in such period
(it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that the requirement of Counterparty
to deliver such notice shall not limit Counterpartys obligations with respect to
Notice of Exercise or Notice of Specified Dollar Amount for Conversions during the
Final Convertibility Period. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Other Applicable Provisions:
|
|

Representations, Warranties and Agreements:
(a) In addition to the representations and warranties in the Agreement and those contained
elsewhere herein, Counterparty represents and warrants to and for the benefit of, and agrees with,
Dealer as follows:
(i) On the Trade Date, and as of the date of any election by Counterparty of the Share
Termination Alternative under (and as defined in) Section 8(c) below, none of Counterparty
and its executive officers and directors is aware of any material nonpublic information
regarding Counterparty or the Shares. On the Trade Date, all reports and other documents
filed by Counterparty with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) when considered as a whole
(with the more recent such reports and documents deemed to amend inconsistent statements
contained in any earlier such reports and documents), do not contain any untrue statement
of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they
were made, not misleading.
(ii) (A) On the Trade Date, the Shares or securities that are convertible into, or
exchangeable or exercisable for Shares, are not, and shall not be, subject to a restricted
period, as such term is defined in Regulation M under the Exchange Act (Regulation M)
and (B) Counterparty shall not engage in any distribution, as such term is defined in
Regulation M, other than a distribution meeting the requirements of the exceptions set
forth in sections 101(b)(10) and 102(b)(7) of Regulation M, until the second Exchange
Business Day immediately following the Trade Date.
(iii) Without limiting the generality of Section 13.1 of the Equity Definitions,
Counterparty acknowledges that neither Dealer nor any of its affiliates is making any
representations or warranties or taking a position or expressing any view with respect to
the treatment of the Transaction under any accounting standards, including FASB Statements
128, 133 (as amended), 149 or 150, EITF Issue No. 00-19, 01-6, 03-6 or 07-5 (or any
successor issue statements) or under the FASBs Liabilities & Equity Project.
(iv) Without limiting the generality of Section 3(a)(iii) of the Agreement, the
Transaction will not violate Rule 13e-1 or Rule 13e-4 under the Exchange Act.
13
(v) Prior to the Trade Date, Counterparty shall deliver to Dealer a resolution of
Counterpartys board of directors authorizing the Transaction and such other certificate or
certificates as Dealer shall reasonably request.
(vi) Counterparty is not entering into this Confirmation to create actual or apparent
trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for
Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any
security convertible into or exchangeable for Shares) or to otherwise violate the Exchange
Act.
(vii) Counterparty is not, and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated
hereby will not be, required to register as, an investment company as such term is
defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
(viii) On each of the Trade Date, the Premium Payment Date and the Additional Premium
Payment Date, if any, Counterparty is not insolvent (as such term is defined under
Section 101(32) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code) (the
Bankruptcy Code)) and Counterparty would be able to purchase the Shares hereunder in
compliance with the laws of the jurisdiction of Counterpartys incorporation.
(ix) Counterparty understands no obligations of Dealer to it hereunder will be
entitled to the benefit of deposit insurance and that such obligations will not be
guaranteed by any governmental agency.
(b) Each of Dealer and Counterparty agrees and represents that it is an eligible contract
participant as defined in Section 1a(12) of the U.S. Commodity Exchange Act, as amended.
(c) Each of Dealer and Counterparty acknowledges that the offer and sale of the Transaction to
it is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
Securities Act), by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof. Accordingly, Counterparty represents and
warrants to Dealer that (i) it has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of its
investment in the Transaction and is able to bear a total loss of its investment and its
investments in and liabilities in respect of the Transaction, which it understands are not readily
marketable, are not disproportionate to its net worth, and it is able to bear any loss in
connection with the Transaction, including the loss of its entire investment in the Transaction,
(ii) it is an accredited investor as that term is defined in Regulation D as promulgated under
the Securities Act, (iii) it is entering into the Transaction for its own account and without a
view to the distribution or resale thereof, (iv) the assignment, transfer or other disposition of
the Transaction has not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act and is restricted
under this Confirmation, the Securities Act and state securities laws, and (v) its financial
condition is such that it has no need for liquidity with respect to its investment in the
Transaction and no need to dispose of any portion thereof to satisfy any existing or contemplated
undertaking or indebtedness and is capable of assessing the merits of and understanding (on its own
behalf or through independent professional advice), and understands and accepts, the terms,
conditions and risks of the Transaction.
(d) Subject to Section 8(j): Each of Dealer and Counterparty agrees and acknowledges that
Dealer is 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 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, 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, Sections 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.
(e) Counterparty shall deliver to Dealer (i) an incumbency certificate, dated as of the Trade
Date, of Counterparty in customary form and (ii) an opinion of counsel, dated as of the Trade Date
and
14
reasonably acceptable to Dealer in form and substance, with respect to due incorporation,
existence and good standing of the Counterparty in Delaware, its qualifications as a foreign
corporation and good standing in Michigan, the due authorization, execution and delivery of the
Confirmation, and the absence of conflict of the execution and delivery of the Confirmation with
any material agreement required to be filed as any exhibit to the Counterpartys Annual Report on
Form 10-K and the Counterpartys charter documents.
(f) Each party acknowledges and agrees to be bound by the Conduct Rules of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. applicable to transactions in options, and further agrees
not to violate the position and exercise limits set forth therein.
8. Other Provisions:
(a) Right to Extend. Dealer may postpone any Exercise Date or Settlement Date or any other
date of valuation or delivery by Dealer, with respect to some or all of the relevant Options (in
which event the Calculation Agent shall make appropriate commercially reasonable adjustments to the
Delivery Obligation), if Dealer determines, in its reasonable discretion, that such extension is
reasonably necessary or appropriate to preserve Dealers hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder
in light of existing liquidity conditions in the cash market, the stock borrow market or other
relevant market 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.
(b) Additional Termination Events. The occurrence of (i) an Event of Default with respect
to Counterparty under the terms of the Convertible Securities as set forth in the Indenture as
described in the Prospectus Supplement under Description of Notes Events of Default, or (ii) an
Amendment Event shall be an Additional Termination Event with respect to which the Transaction is
the sole Affected Transaction and Counterparty is the sole Affected Party, and Dealer shall be the
party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement and
to determine the amount payable pursuant to Section 6(e) of the Agreement.
Amendment Event means that Counterparty amends, modifies, supplements or obtains a waiver in
respect of any term of the Indenture or the Convertible Securities governing the principal amount,
coupon, maturity, a repurchase obligation of Counterparty, a redemption right of Counterparty, any
term relating to conversion of the Convertible Securities (including changes to the conversion
price, conversion settlement dates or conversion conditions), or any term that would require
consent of the holders of not less than 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Securities
to amend, in each case without the prior consent of Dealer.
(c) Alternative Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary
Events. If Dealer shall owe Counterparty any amount pursuant to Consequences of Merger Events
above or Sections 12.6, 12.7 or 12.9 of the Equity Definitions (except in the event of an
Insolvency, a Nationalization or a Merger Event, in each case, in which the consideration or
proceeds to be paid to holders of Shares consists solely of cash) or pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii)
of the Agreement (except in the event of an Event of Default in which Counterparty is the
Defaulting Party or a Termination Event in which Counterparty is the Affected Party, that resulted
from an event or events within Counterpartys control) (a Payment Obligation), Counterparty shall
have the right, in its sole discretion, to require Dealer to satisfy any such Payment Obligation by
the Share Termination Alternative (as defined below) by giving irrevocable telephonic notice to
Dealer, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day, between the hours of 8:00 A.M. and
4:00 P.M. New York City time on the relevant merger date, Announcement Date, Early Termination Date
or date of cancellation or termination in respect of an Additional Disruption Event, as applicable
(Notice of Share Termination); provided that if Counterparty does not require Dealer to satisfy
its Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative, Dealer shall have the right, in its
sole discretion, to elect to satisfy its Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative,
notwithstanding Counterpartys failure to elect or election to the contrary. Upon such Notice of
Share Termination or such Dealer election, the following provisions shall apply on the Scheduled
Trading Day immediately following the relevant merger date, Announcement Date,
15
Early Termination Date or date of cancellation or termination in respect of an Additional
Disruption Event, as applicable:
| |
|
|
Share Termination Alternative:
|
|
Applicable and means that Dealer shall
deliver to Counterparty the Share
Termination Delivery Property on the date
on which the Payment Obligation would
otherwise be due pursuant to
Consequences of Merger Events above,
Section 12.7 or 12.9 of the Equity
Definitions or Section 6(d)(ii) of the
Agreement, as applicable, or such later
date as the Calculation Agent may
reasonably determine (the Share
Termination Payment Date), in
satisfaction of the Payment Obligation. |
|
|
|
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 of property contained in one
Share Termination Delivery Unit on the
date such Share Termination Delivery
Units are to be delivered as Share
Termination Delivery Property, 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. |
|
|
|
Share Termination Delivery Unit:
|
|
In the case of a Termination Event, Event
of Default, Delisting or Additional
Disruption Event, one Share or, in the
case of an Insolvency, Nationalization 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 Insolvency,
Nationalization or Merger Event. If such
Insolvency, Nationalization 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. |
|
|
|
Failure to Deliver:
|
|
Applicable |
|
|
|
Other applicable provisions:
|
|
If Share Termination Alternative is
applicable, the provisions of Sections
9.8, 9.9, 9.10, 9.11 (except that the
Representation and Agreement contained in
Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions
shall be modified by excluding any
representations therein relating to
restrictions, obligations, limitations or
requirements under applicable securities
laws arising as a result of the fact that
Counterparty is the Issuer of the Shares)
and 9.12 of the Equity Definitions will
be applicable as if Physical Settlement
applied to the Transaction, except that
all references to Shares shall be read
as references to Share Termination
Delivery Units. |
(d) Disposition of Hedge Shares. Counterparty hereby agrees that if, in the good faith
reasonable judgment of Dealer or Counterparty, based on the advice of counsel, the Shares (the
Hedge Shares) acquired by Dealer for the purpose of hedging its obligations pursuant to the
Transaction cannot be sold in the U.S. public market by Dealer without registration under the
Securities Act, Counterparty shall, at its election within two Exchange Business Days after a
partys written notice to the other party of such judgment: (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 to cover the resale of such Hedge
16
Shares and (A) enter into an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Dealer,
substantially in the form of an underwriting agreement for underwritten follow-on offerings of
equity securities of companies of comparable size, maturity and lines of business, (B) provide
accountants comfort letters in customary form for underwritten follow-on offerings of equity
securities, (C) provide disclosure opinions of nationally recognized outside counsel to
Counterparty as are customarily requested in connection with underwritten follow-on offerings of
equity securities of companies of comparable size, maturity and lines of business, (D) provide
other customary opinions, certificates and closing documents customary in form for underwritten
follow-on offerings of equity securities of companies of comparable size, maturity and lines of
business and (E) afford Dealer a reasonable opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation
with respect to Counterparty customary in scope for underwritten follow-on offerings of equity
securities of companies of comparable size, maturity and lines of business; provided, however, that
if Dealer, in its sole commercially 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 Section 8(d) shall apply at the election of Counterparty, provided that with respect to such
registered offering Dealer has given the Counterparty reasonable notice of its determination and
provided the Counterparty with reasonable opportunity to satisfy Dealers concerns; (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 of comparable size, maturity and lines of business, in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Dealer, including 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 Hedge Shares from Dealer), opinions and
certificates and such other documentation as is customary for private placements agreements, all
reasonably acceptable to Dealer (in which case, the Calculation Agent shall make any adjustments 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 VWAP Price on such
Exchange Business Days, and in the amounts, requested by Dealer. For the avoidance of doubt,
unless the Counterparty elects to repurchase the Hedge Shares pursuant to clause (iii) of this
Section 8(d), nothing in this Confirmation shall be interpreted as requiring the Counterparty to
repurchase the Hedge Shares and under no circumstances shall the Counterparty be required to
repurchase the Hedge Shares. VWAP Price means, on any Exchange Business Day, the per Share
volume-weighted average price as displayed under the heading Bloomberg VWAP on Bloomberg Screen
BWA.N <equity> AQR (or any successor thereto) in respect of the period from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00
p.m. (New York City time) on such Exchange Business Day (or if such volume-weighted average price
is unavailable, the market value of one Share on such Exchange Business Day, as determined by the
Calculation Agent using a volume-weighted method).
(e) Repurchase and Conversion Rate Adjustment Notices. Counterparty shall, at least two
Exchange Business Days prior to any day on which Counterparty effects any repurchase of Shares or
consummates or otherwise engages in any transaction or event (a Conversion Rate Adjustment Event)
that could reasonably be expected to lead to an increase in the Conversion Rate, give Dealer a
written notice of such repurchase or Conversion Rate Adjustment Event (a Repurchase Notice) on
such day if, following such repurchase or Conversion Rate Adjustment Event, the Notice Percentage
would reasonably be expected to be greater by 0.5% than the Notice Percentage included in the
immediately preceding Repurchase Notice (or, in the case of the first such Repurchase Notice,
greater than the Notice Percentage as of the date hereof). The Notice Percentage as of any day
is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is the number of Shares
underlying all Convertible Securities outstanding on such day and the denominator of which is the
number of Shares outstanding on such day. In the event that Counterparty fails to provide Dealer
with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this Section 8(e) then, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Dealer, its
affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons
(Dealer and each such person being an Indemnified Party) from and against any and all losses,
claims, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), joint or several, to which such
Indemnified Party is subject under applicable securities laws, including without limitation,
Section 16 of the Exchange Act or under any state or federal law, regulation or regulatory order,
as a result of such failure. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any
Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold
17
harmless any Indemnified Party, then Counterparty shall contribute, to the maximum extent
permitted by law, to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such loss,
claim, damage or liability. In addition, Counterparty will reimburse any Indemnified Party for any
reasonable expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) as they are incurred (after
notice to Counterparty) in connection with the investigation of, preparation for or defense or
settlement of any pending or threatened claim or any action, suit or proceeding arising therefrom,
whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto and whether or not such claim, action,
suit or proceeding is initiated or brought by or on behalf of Counterparty. This indemnity shall
survive the completion of the Transaction contemplated by this Confirmation and any assignment and
delegation of the Transaction made pursuant to this Confirmation or the Agreement shall inure to
the benefit of any permitted assignee of Dealer.
(f) Transfer and Assignment. Either party may transfer any of its rights or obligations under
the Transaction with the prior written consent of the non-transferring party, such consent not to
be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that Dealer may transfer or assign without any
consent of Counterparty its rights and obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, to any person,
or any person whose obligations would be guaranteed by a person, in either case, of credit quality
equivalent to Dealers (or its guarantors), but in no event with a rating for its long term,
unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of less than A- by Standard and Poors Ratings Services
or its successor (S&P), and less than A3 by Moodys Investors Service, Inc. or its successor
(Moodys), or, if either S&P or Moodys ceases to rate such debt, less than an equivalent rating
by a substitute agency mutually agreed by Counterparty and Dealer. Dealer shall as soon as
reasonably practicable notify Counterparty of any such transfer or assignment. 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) 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% of the number of Shares outstanding on the date of determination (either such
condition described in clause (1) or (2), an Excess Ownership Position), Dealer, in its
discretion, is unable to effect a transfer or assignment to a third party after its commercially
reasonable efforts on pricing terms and within a time period reasonably acceptable to Dealer 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 Equity Ownership Position no longer exists following such partial
termination. In the event that Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a
portion of the Transaction, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement and
Section 8(c) of this Confirmation as if (i) an Early Termination Date had been designated in
respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Terminated Portion of the Transaction, (ii)
Counterparty were the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination, (iii) such
portion of the Transaction were the only Terminated Transaction and (iv) Dealer were the party
entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement and to
determine the amount payable pursuant to Section 6(e) of the Agreement. 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 (collectively,
Dealer Group) beneficially own (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act) without
duplication on such day and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on
such day. In the case of a transfer or assignment by Counterparty of its rights and obligations
hereunder and under the Agreement, in whole or in part (any such Options so transferred or
assigned, the Transfer Options), to any party, withholding of such consent by Dealer shall not be
considered unreasonable if such transfer or assignment does not meet the following reasonable
conditions that Dealer may impose:
18
(A) With respect to any Transfer Options, Counterparty shall not be released from its
notice and indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 8(e) or any obligations under
Section 2 (regarding Extraordinary Events) or 8(d) of this Confirmation;
(B) Any Transfer Options shall only be transferred or assigned to a third party that
is a U.S. person (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended);
(C) Such transfer or assignment shall be effected on terms, including any reasonable
undertakings by such third party (including, but not limited to, undertakings 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 have caused 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.
(g) Staggered Settlement. 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) or at two or more times on the Nominal Settlement Date as follows:
(i) in such notice, Dealer will specify to Counterparty the related Staggered
Settlement Dates (each of which will be on or prior to such Nominal Settlement Date, but
not prior to the beginning of the related Cash Settlement Averaging Period (as modified
herein)) or delivery times and how it will allocate the Shares it is required to deliver
under Delivery Obligation (above) among the Staggered Settlement Dates or delivery times;
and
(ii) the aggregate number of Shares that Dealer will deliver to Counterparty hereunder
on all such Staggered Settlement Dates and delivery times will equal the number of Shares
that Dealer would otherwise be required to deliver on such Nominal Settlement Date.
(h) 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.
(i) No Netting and Set-off. The provisions of Section 2(c) of the Agreement shall not apply
to the Transaction. Each party waives any and all rights it may have to set-off payment
obligations it owes to the other party under the Transaction against any payment obligations owed
to it by the other party, whether arising under the Agreement, under any other agreement between
parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise.
(j) Equity Rights. Dealer acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to
convey to it rights with respect to the Transaction that are senior to the claims of common
stockholders in the event of Counterpartys bankruptcy. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties
agree that the preceding sentence shall not apply at any time other than during Counterpartys
bankruptcy to any claim arising as a result of a breach by Counterparty of any of its obligations
under this Confirmation or the Agreement.
19
(k) Early Unwind. In the event the sale by Counterparty of the Convertible Securities is not
consummated pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement for any reason by the close of business in New
York on April 9, 2009 (or such later date as agreed upon by the parties, which in no event shall be
later than five business days after April 9, 2009) (April 9, 2009 or such later date being the
Early Unwind Date), the Transaction shall automatically terminate (the Early Unwind) on the
Early Unwind Date and the Transaction and all of the respective rights and obligations of Dealer
and Counterparty hereunder shall be cancelled and terminated and Counterparty shall pay to Dealer,
other than in cases involving a breach of the Underwriting Agreement by the underwriters, an amount
in cash equal to the aggregate amount of reasonable costs and expenses relating to the unwinding of
Dealers hedging activities in respect of the Transaction (including market losses incurred in
reselling any Shares purchased by Dealer or its affiliates in connection with such hedging
activities, unless Counterparty agrees to purchase any such Shares at the cost at which Dealer
purchased such Shares). Following such termination and cancellation and payment, each party shall
be released and discharged by the other party from, and agrees not to make any claim against the
other party with respect to, any obligations or liabilities of either party arising out of, and to
be performed in connection with, the Transaction either prior to or after the Early Unwind Date.

following the payment referred to above, all obligations with respect to the Transaction shall be
deemed fully and finally discharged.
(l) Payments by Counterparty upon Early Termination. The parties hereby agree that,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the Definitions or in the Agreement, following
the payment of the Premium and the Additional Premium, if any, in the event that an Early
Termination Date (whether as a result of an Event of Default or an Amendment Event or a Termination
Event) occurs or is designated with respect to the Transaction or the Transaction is terminated or
cancelled pursuant to Article 12 of the Equity Definitions and, as a result, Counterparty would owe
to Dealer an amount calculated under Section 6(e) of the Agreement or Article 12 of the Equity
Definitions, such amount shall be deemed to be zero.
(m) Waiver of Trial by Jury. EACH OF COUNTERPARTY AND DEALER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES (ON
ITS OWN BEHALF AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ON BEHALF OF ITS STOCKHOLDERS) ALL
RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT
OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE TRANSACTION OR THE ACTIONS OF DEALER OR ITS
AFFILIATES IN THE NEGOTIATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.
(n) Governing Law; Jurisdiction. THE AGREEMENT, THIS CONFIRMATION AND ALL MATTERS ARISING IN
CONNECTION WITH THE AGREEMENT AND THIS CONFIRMATION SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND
ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CHOICE OF
LAW DOCTRINE, OTHER THAN TITLE 14 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW). THE PARTIES HERETO
IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK IN CONNECTION WITH ALL MATTERS
RELATING HERETO AND WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE IN, AND ANY CLAIM OF INCONVENIENT
FORUM WITH RESPECT TO, THESE COURTS.
(o) Amendment. This Confirmation and the Agreement may not be modified, amended or
supplemented, except in a written instrument signed by Counterparty and Dealer.
(p) Counterparts. This Confirmation may be executed in several counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
(q) Designation by Dealer. 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 Dealers 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.
20
(r) Delivery of Cash. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Confirmation shall be
interpreted as requiring the Counterparty to deliver cash in respect of the settlement of the
Transaction, except in circumstances where the required cash settlement thereof is permitted for
classification of the contract as equity by EITF 00-19 as in effect on the relevant Settlement
Date.
(s) Credit Support Provider and Credit Support Document. Morgan Stanley shall be a Credit
Support Provider with respect to Dealer and the guarantee of Dealers obligations hereunder by
Morgan Stanley shall be a Credit Support Document with respect to Dealer.
(t) Agent of Dealer. Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated (MS&CO) is acting as agent for both
parties but does not guarantee the performance of either party. Neither Dealer nor Counterparty

involvement of MS&CO; (ii) MS&CO, Dealer and Counterparty each hereby acknowledges that any
transactions by Dealer or MS&CO with respect to Shares will be undertaken by Dealer as principal
for its own account; (iii) all of the actions to be taken by Dealer and MS&CO in connection with
