6. Additional Provisions Relating to Transactions in the Shares.

(a) Counterparty acknowledges and agrees that Bank may, during the period from the date hereof to the Valuation Date or, if later, the date on which all Shares or other consideration deliverable or payable hereunder, including without limitation in connection with a termination or cancellation of the Transaction, have been delivered or paid (the “Relevant Period”), purchase Shares in connection with the Transaction, which Shares may be delivered to Counterparty. Such purchases will be conducted independently of Counterparty. The timing of such purchases by Bank, the number of Shares purchased by Bank on any day, the price paid per Share pursuant to such purchases and the manner in which such purchases are made, including without limitation whether such purchases are made on any securities exchange or privately, shall be within the absolute discretion of Bank. It is the intent of the parties that the Transaction comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i)(B) of the Exchange Act, and the parties agree that this Confirmation shall be interpreted to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c), and Counterparty shall not take any action that results in the Transaction not so complying with such requirements. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, Counterparty acknowledges and agrees that (A) Counterparty does not have, and shall not attempt to exercise, any influence over how, when or whether Bank effects any purchases of Shares in connection with the Transaction, (B) during the period beginning on (but excluding) the date of this Confirmation and ending on (and including) the last day of the Relevant Period, neither Counterparty nor its officers or employees shall, directly or indirectly, communicate any information regarding Counterparty or the Shares to any employee of Bank or its Affiliates (as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)) responsible for trading the Shares in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, (C) Counterparty is entering into the Transaction in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade compliance with federal securities laws including, without limitation, Rule 10b-5 promulgated under the Exchange Act and (D) Counterparty will not alter or deviate from this Confirmation or enter into or alter a corresponding hedging transaction with respect to the Shares. Counterparty also acknowledges and agrees that any amendment, modification, waiver or termination of this Confirmation must be effected in accordance with the requirements for the amendment or termination of a “plan” as defined in Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any such amendment, modification, waiver or termination shall be made in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade the prohibitions of Rule 10b-5 under the Exchange Act, and no such amendment, modification or waiver shall be made at any time at which Counterparty or any officer or director of Counterparty is aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Counterparty or the Shares.

(b) Counterparty agrees that neither Counterparty nor any of its Affiliates or agents shall take any action that would cause Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act (“Regulation M”) to be applicable to any purchases of Shares, or any security for which the Shares are a reference security (as defined in Regulation M), by Counterparty or any of its affiliated purchasers (as defined in Regulation M) during the Relevant Period.

(c) Counterparty shall, at least one day prior to the first day of the Relevant Period, notify Bank of the total number of Shares purchased in Rule 10b-18 purchases of blocks pursuant to the once-a-week block exception contained in Rule 10b-18(b)(4) by or for Counterparty or any of its affiliated purchasers during each of the four calendar weeks preceding the first day of the Relevant Period and during the calendar week in which the first day of the Relevant Period occurs (“Rule 10b-18 purchase”, “blocks” and “affiliated purchaser” each being used as defined in Rule 10b-18), which notice shall be substantially in the form set forth as Appendix A hereto.

(d) During the Relevant Period, Counterparty shall (i) notify Bank prior to the opening of trading in the Shares on any day on which Counterparty makes, or expects to be made (and is in control of), any public announcement (as defined in Rule 165(f) under the Securities Act) of any merger, acquisition, or similar transaction

9

involving a recapitalization relating to Counterparty (other than any such transaction in which the consideration consists solely of cash and there is no valuation period), (ii) promptly notify Bank following any such announcement that such announcement has been made, and (iii) promptly deliver to Bank following the making of any such announcement a certificate indicating (A) Counterparty’s average daily Rule 10b-18 purchases (as defined in Rule 10b-18) during the three full calendar months preceding the date of the announcement of such transaction and (B) Counterparty’s block purchases (as defined in Rule 10b-18) effected pursuant to paragraph (b)(4) of Rule 10b-18 during the three full calendar months preceding the date of the announcement of such transaction. In addition, Counterparty shall promptly notify Bank of the earlier to occur of the completion of such transaction and the completion of the vote by target shareholders. Counterparty acknowledges that any such public announcement may result in a Regulatory Disruption and may cause the Relevant Period to be suspended.

(e) Without the prior written consent of Bank, Counterparty shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and affiliated purchasers (each as defined in Rule 10b-18) not to, directly or indirectly (including, without limitation, by means of a 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 for Shares during the Relevant Period. During such time, any purchases of Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for Shares) by Counterparty shall be made through Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, pursuant to a letter substantially in the form of Appendix B hereto and subject to such conditions as Bank shall impose, and shall be in compliance with Rule 10b-18 or otherwise in a manner that Counterparty and Bank believe is in compliance with applicable requirements (including, without limitation, Rule 10b-5, Regulation 13D-G and Regulation 14E under the Exchange Act).

7. Representations, Warranties and Agreements.

(a) In addition to the representations, warranties and agreements in the Agreement and those contained elsewhere herein, Counterparty represents and warrants (in the case of clause (i), solely as of the Scheduled Trading Day following the Trade Date, and not as of the Trade Date) to and for the benefit of, and agrees with, Bank as follows:

(i) (A) None of Counterparty and its officers and directors is aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Counterparty or the Shares and (B) all reports and other documents filed by Counterparty with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to 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) Without limiting the generality of Section 13.1 of the Equity Definitions, Counterparty acknowledges that Bank is not making any representations or warranties with respect to the treatment of the Transaction under FASB Statements 128, 133 or 149 (each as amended), or 150, EITF Issue No. 00-19, 01-6, 03-6 or 07-5 (or any successor issue statements) or under FASB’s Liabilities & Equity Project.

(iv) Prior to the Trade Date, Counterparty shall deliver to Bank a resolution of Counterparty’s board of directors authorizing the Transaction and such other certificate or certificates as Bank shall reasonably request.

(v) 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 otherwise in violation of the Exchange Act, and will not engage in any other securities or derivative transaction to such ends.

(vi) Counterparty is not, and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby will not be, an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(vii) On the Trade Date, the Initial Share Delivery Date, the Prepayment Date, and the Settlement Date (A) the assets of Counterparty at their fair valuation exceed the liabilities of Counterparty, including contingent liabilities, (B) the capital of Counterparty is adequate to conduct the business of Counterparty and (C) Counterparty has the ability to pay its debts and obligations as such debts mature and does not intend to, or does not believe that it will, incur debt beyond its ability to pay as such debts mature.

(b) Each of Bank and Counterparty agrees and represents that it is an “eligible contract participant” as defined in the U.S. Commodity Exchange Act, as amended.

(c) Counterparty acknowledges that the offer and sale of the Transaction to it is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof. Accordingly, Counterparty represents and warrants to Bank 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, (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, and (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.

(d) The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that Bank is a “financial institution,” “swap participant” and “financial participant” within the meaning of Sections 101(22), 101(53C) and 101(22A) of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”). The parties hereto further agree and acknowledge that (A) 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 “settlement payment” within the meaning of Sections 362 and 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 “transfer” and a “payment or other transfer of property” within the meaning of Sections 362 and 546 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (B) Bank is entitled to the protections afforded by, among other sections, Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 362(o), 546(e), 546(g), 555, 560 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code.

8. Agreements and Acknowledgements Regarding Hedging.

(a) During the Relevant Period, Bank and its Affiliates may buy or sell Shares or other securities or buy or sell options or futures contracts or enter into swaps or other derivative securities in order to adjust its hedge position with respect to the Transaction;

(b) Bank and its Affiliates also may be active in the market for Shares other than in connection with hedging activities in relation to the Transaction;

(c) Bank shall make its own determination as to whether, when or in what manner any hedging or market activities in Counterparty’s securities shall be conducted and shall do so in a manner that it deems appropriate to hedge its price and market risk with respect to the Settlement Price and/or the VWAP Price; and

11

(d) Any market activities of Bank and its Affiliates with respect to Shares may affect the market price and volatility of Shares, as well as the Settlement Price and/or the VWAP Price, each in a manner that may be adverse to Counterparty.

9. Special Provisions regarding Acquisition Transaction Announcements.

If an Acquisition Transaction Announcement occurs on or prior to the Valuation Date for the Transaction, then the Settlement Price shall be determined as if the phrase “Price Adjustment” of the definition thereof were replaced with “Prorated Price Adjustment” and the Scheduled Earliest Acceleration Date shall be the earlier of (i) the date of the Acquisition Transaction Announcement and (ii) the Scheduled Earliest Acceleration Date specified in Schedule A.

“Acquisition Transaction Announcement” means (i) the announcement of an Acquisition Transaction, (ii) an announcement that Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries has entered into an agreement, a letter of intent or an understanding to enter into an Acquisition Transaction, (iii) the announcement of an intention to solicit or enter into, or to explore strategic alternatives or other similar undertaking that may include, an Acquisition Transaction, or (iv) any other announcement that in the reasonable judgment of the Calculation Agent may result in an Acquisition Transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, announcements as used in this definition of Acquisition Transaction Announcement refer to any public announcement whether made by the Issuer or a third party.

“Acquisition Transaction” means (i) any Merger Event (and for purposes of this definition the definition of Merger Event shall be read with the references therein to “100%” being replaced by “15%” and to “50%” by “75%” and as if the clause beginning immediately following the definition of Reverse Merger therein to the end of such definition were deleted) or Tender Offer, or any other transaction involving the merger of Counterparty with or into any third party, (ii) the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of Counterparty, (iii) a recapitalization, reclassification, binding share exchange or other similar transaction, (iv) any acquisition, lease, exchange, transfer, disposition (including by way of spin-off or distribution) of assets (including any capital stock or other ownership interests in subsidiaries) or other similar event by Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries where the aggregate consideration transferable or receivable by or to Counterparty or its subsidiaries exceeds 15% of the market capitalization of Counterparty and (v) any transaction in which Counterparty or its board of directors has a legal obligation to make a recommendation to its shareholders in respect of such transaction (whether pursuant to Rule 14e-2 under the Exchange Act or otherwise).

10. Other Provisions.

(a) Alternative Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events. If either party would owe the other party any amount pursuant to Sections 12.2, 12.3, 12.6, 12.7 or 12.9 of the Equity Definitions (except in the event of an Insolvency, a Nationalization, a Tender Offer 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(e) 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 Counterparty’s control) (a “Payment Obligation”), Counterparty shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to satisfy or to require Bank to satisfy, as the case may be, any such Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative (as defined below) by giving irrevocable telephonic notice to the other party, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day, between the hours of 9:00 A.M. and 4:00 P.M. New York City time on

12

the Merger Date, Tender Offer Date, Announcement Date or Early Termination Date or other date of cancellation or termination, as applicable (“Notice of Share Termination”). In the Notice of Share Termination, Counterparty shall represent and warrant that (i) none of Counterparty and its officers and directors is aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Counterparty or the Shares and (ii) all reports and other documents filed by Counterparty with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to 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. Upon such Notice of Share Termination, the following provisions shall apply on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the Merger Date, the Tender Offer Date, Announcement Date or Early Termination Date or other date of cancellation or termination, as applicable:

13

(b) Hedge Shares; Registration and Private Placement.

(i) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Confirmation to the contrary, in the event that (x) in connection with any settlement upon termination or cancellation of this Transaction, Bank would be required to make a cash payment to Counterparty and (y) at such time Bank or its agent owns Shares (or other securities constituting Share Termination Delivery Units) acquired for the purpose of hedging Bank’s obligations pursuant to this Transaction (such securities, “Hedge Shares”), Bank may elect to satisfy all or a portion of such cash payment obligation through the delivery of an equivalent value of Hedge Shares (value as determined by the Calculation Agent).

(ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Confirmation, if for any reason Counterparty is required to deliver Shares, Counterparty may deliver Shares that are not registered under the Securities Act; provided, however, that such Shares shall constitute “Private Shares,” as defined below, and, accordingly, the valuation discount and other provisions of Section 10(b)(iv) shall apply to such Shares.

(iii) In respect of any Shares (or other securities constituting Share Termination Delivery Units) acquired by Bank from Counterparty (or any other issuer of such Share Termination Delivery Units) that Bank reasonably concludes, based upon advice of outside counsel, should not be sold without registration under the Securities Act, Counterparty may, in order to allow Bank to sell such securities in a registered offering, elect to make available to Bank an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and, together with any other issuers of such securities, (A) enter into an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank, substantially in the form of an underwriting agreement for a registered offering, (B) provide accountant’s “comfort” letters in customary form for registered offerings of equity securities, (C) provide disclosure opinions of nationally recognized outside counsel to Counterparty reasonably acceptable to Bank, (D) provide other customary opinions, certificates and closing documents customary in form for registered offerings of equity securities and (E) afford Bank a reasonable opportunity to conduct a “due diligence” investigation with respect to Counterparty customary in scope for underwritten offerings of equity securities; provided, however, that if Bank, in its reasonable discretion, is not satisfied with access to due diligence materials, the results of its due diligence investigation, or the timing, procedures and documentation for the registered offering referred to above or if any such securities are not registered, then paragraph (iv) below shall apply at the election of Counterparty with respect to such securities to be sold (such securities, the “Private Shares”). Counterparty will procure that any other issuer of securities constituting Share Termination Delivery Units subject to this paragraph (iii) shall comply with the provisions of this paragraph (iii).

(iv) In order to allow Bank to sell Private Shares in a private placement, Counterparty and any other issuer of the Private Shares will enter into a private placement agreement substantially similar to private placement purchase agreements customary for private placements of equity securities, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank (in which case, the Calculation Agent shall, to the extent such adjustments have not yet already been made, make any adjustments to the terms of this Transaction that are necessary, in its reasonable judgment, to compensate Bank for a commercially reasonable discount from the public market price of such

14

securities incurred on the sale of the Private Shares in a private placement), or, at the election of Counterparty, purchase such Private Shares from Bank at the closing price on such Exchange Business Days, and in the amounts, requested by Bank. Counterparty will procure that any other issuer of securities constituting Share Termination Delivery Units subject to this paragraph (iv) shall comply with the provisions of this paragraph (iv).

(c) Maximum Deliverable Number of Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Confirmation, in no event shall Counterparty be required to deliver more than the Maximum Deliverable Number of Shares as payment for any obligation owing to Bank hereunder. “Maximum Deliverable Number” means 11,000,000 Shares. Counterparty represents and warrants to Bank (which representation and warranty shall be deemed to be repeated on each day from the date hereof to the Settlement Date or, if Counterparty is required to deliver Shares hereunder, to the date on which resale by Bank of such Shares is completed) that the Maximum Deliverable Number is equal to or less than the number of authorized but unissued Shares of Counterparty that are not reserved for future issuance in connection with transactions in such Shares (other than the transactions under this Confirmation) on the date of the determination of the Maximum Deliverable Number. In the event Counterparty shall not have delivered the full number of Shares otherwise deliverable as a result of this Section 10(c) (the resulting deficit, the “Deficit Shares”), Counterparty shall be continually obligated to deliver, from time to time until the full number of Deficit Shares have been delivered pursuant to this paragraph, Shares when, and to the extent that, (i) Shares are repurchased, acquired or otherwise received by Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries after the date hereof (whether or not in exchange for cash, fair value or any other consideration), (ii) authorized and unissued Shares reserved for issuance in respect of other transactions prior to such date which prior to the relevant date become no longer so reserved or (iii) Counterparty additionally authorizes any unissued Shares that are not reserved for other transactions. Counterparty shall immediately notify Bank 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 Shares to be delivered) and promptly deliver such Shares thereafter.

(d) Equity Rights. Bank 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 Counterparty’s bankruptcy. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that the preceding sentence shall not apply at any time other than during Counterparty’s bankruptcy to any claim arising as a result of a breach by Counterparty of any of its obligations under this Confirmation or the Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that this Confirmation is not secured by any collateral that would otherwise secure the obligations of Counterparty herein under or pursuant to any other agreement.

(e) Indemnification. In the event that Bank or the Calculation Agent or any of their Affiliates becomes involved in any capacity in any action, proceeding or investigation brought by or against any person in connection with, or arising out of, any breach or alleged breach by Counterparty of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in Section 6(a)-(e) and Section 7(a)(i), (iii), (v), (vi) and (vii) in this Confirmation, Counterparty shall reimburse Bank or the Calculation Agent or such Affiliate for its reasonable legal and other out-of-pocket expenses (including the cost of any investigation and preparation) incurred in connection therewith within 30 days of receipt of notice of such expenses, and shall indemnify and hold Bank or the Calculation Agent or such Affiliate harmless against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which Bank or the Calculation Agent or such Affiliate may become subject in connection with any such action, proceeding or investigation. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to Bank or the Calculation Agent or such Affiliate or insufficient to hold it harmless, then Counterparty shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by Bank or the Calculation Agent or such Affiliate as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by Counterparty on the one hand and Bank or the Calculation Agent or such Affiliate on the other hand in the matters contemplated by this Confirmation or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by Counterparty on the one hand and Bank or the Calculation Agent or such Affiliate on the other hand in the matters contemplated by this Confirmation but also the relative fault of Counterparty and Bank or the Calculation Agent or such Affiliate with respect to such losses, claims, damages or liabilities and any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by Counterparty, on the one hand, and Bank or the Calculation Agent or such Affiliate, on the other hand, shall be in the same proportion as

15

the Prepayment Amount bears to the customary brokerage commission for share repurchases multiplied by the Initial Shares. The reimbursement, indemnity and contribution obligations of Counterparty under this Section 10(e) shall be in addition to any liability that Counterparty may otherwise have, shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to the partners, directors, officers, agents, employees and controlling persons (if any), as the case may be, of Bank or the Calculation Agent and their Affiliates and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of Counterparty, Bank or the Calculation Agent, any such Affiliate and any such person. The foregoing provisions shall survive any termination or completion of the Transaction.

(f) Staggered Settlement. Bank may, by notice to Counterparty prior to the Settlement Date (a “Nominal Settlement Date”), elect to deliver the Shares deliverable on such Nominal Settlement Date 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, Bank will specify to Counterparty the related Staggered Settlement Dates (each of which will be on or prior to such Nominal Settlement Date) or delivery times and how it will allocate the Shares it is required to deliver under “Physical Settlement” among the Staggered Settlement Dates or delivery times; and (ii) the aggregate number of Shares that Bank will deliver to Counterparty hereunder on all such Staggered Settlement Dates and delivery times will equal the number of Shares that Bank would otherwise be required to deliver on such Nominal Settlement Date.

(g) Additional Termination Events. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an Additional Termination Event with respect to which the Transaction is the sole Affected Transaction and Counterparty is the sole Affected Party and Bank shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b)(iv) of the Agreement if on any day during the Relevant Period:

(i) the price per Share on the Exchange, as determined by the Calculation Agent, is at or below USD 15.00; or

(ii) the declaration by the Issuer of any Extraordinary Dividend, the ex-dividend date for which occurs or is scheduled to occur during the Relevant Period.

(h) Amendments to Equity Definitions. The following amendments shall be made to the Equity Definitions:

(i) The first sentence of Section 11.2(c) of the Equity Definitions, prior to clause (A) thereof, is hereby amended to read as follows: ‘(c) If “Calculation Agent Adjustment” is specified as the Method of Adjustment in the related Confirmation of a Share Option Transaction or Share Forward Transaction, then following the announcement or occurrence of any Potential Adjustment Event, the Calculation Agent will determine whether such Potential Adjustment Event has a material effect on the theoretical value of the relevant Shares or options on the Shares and, if so, will (i) make appropriate adjustment(s), if any, to any one or more of:’ and the portion of such sentence immediately preceding clause (ii) thereof is hereby amended by deleting the words “diluting or concentrative” and the words “(provided that no adjustments will be made to account solely for changes in volatility, expected dividends, stock loan rate or liquidity relative to the relevant Shares)” and replacing such latter phrase with the words “(and, for the avoidance of doubt, adjustments may be made to account solely for changes in volatility, stock loan rate or liquidity relative to the relevant Shares)”;

(ii) Section 11.2(e)(vii) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the words “diluting or concentrative” and replacing them with “material”; and

(iii) Section 12.6(a)(ii) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by (1) deleting from the fourth line thereof the word “or” after the word “official” and inserting a comma therefor, and (2) deleting the semi-colon at the end of subsection (B) thereof and inserting the following words therefor “or (C) at

16

Bank’s option, the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 5(a)(vii) (1) through (9) of the ISDA Master Agreement with respect to that Issuer”.

(i) No Netting and Set-off. Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement (including without limitation Section 6(f) thereof) and this Confirmation or any other agreement between the parties to the contrary, neither party shall net or set off its obligations under the Transaction against its rights against the other party under any other transaction or instrument.

(j) 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.

(k) Designation by Bank. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Bank to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to or from Counterparty, Bank (the “Designator”) may designate any of its Affiliates (the “Designee”) to deliver or take delivery, as the case may be, and otherwise perform its obligations to deliver, if any, or take delivery of, as the case may be, any such Shares or other securities in respect of the Transaction, and the Designee may assume such obligations, if any. Such designation shall not relieve the Designator of any of its obligations, if any, hereunder. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, if the Designee shall have performed the obligations, if any, of the Designator hereunder, then the Designator shall be discharged of its obligations, if any, to Counterparty to the extent of such performance.

(l) Termination Currency. The Termination Currency shall be USD.

(m) Waiver of Trial by Jury.

Attn: Treasury Department, Steven Burt

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to the Issuer Accelerated Share Repurchase Transaction documented by a Confirmation between you and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Bank”) dated October 5, 2010 (the “Confirmation”). Capitalized terms used without definition in this letter have the definitions assigned to them in the Confirmation.

In Section 6(e) of the Confirmation, Bank has agreed that you may purchase Shares during the Relevant Period, subject to the following procedures:

(i) all such purchases will be made by Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (“WFS”) in accordance with Rule 10b-18(b) or otherwise in a manner that you and WFS believe is in compliance with applicable requirements;

(ii) each purchase order you place with WFS will be an all or nothing order to purchase a minimum of 10,000 Shares;

(iii) you will pay to WFS, for each Share purchased, a per share commission agreed upon by you and WFS; and

(iv) you agree that, in purchasing Shares, WFS may purchase Shares for the account of Bank, which is an affiliate of WFS, other than any single block of 10,000 or more Shares, without your prior consent; you acknowledge that, because any orders you place pursuant to the above procedures will be all or nothing orders, other orders to purchase Shares (including orders placed by Bank or WFS) may reduce the number of Shares available for purchase and may therefore impact your ability to obtain execution of any such all or nothing orders.

APPX-B-1

We may terminate this letter agreement upon the effectiveness of any change in applicable law or regulation that would cause the procedures set forth herein to impede Bank’s ability to execute appropriate trading transactions in relation to Bank’s obligations under the Confirmation in a manner consistent with applicable law and regulation.

Please confirm that the foregoing correctly sets forth the terms of our agreement by executing a copy of this letter and returning it to us by facsimile at 212-214-5913 (Attention: Structured Derivatives Documentation Unit).
