Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by deleting the first, third and sixth paragraphs thereof in their entirety and replacing them as follows.

Item 6.                             Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

 

Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following at the end thereof.

 

Letter Agreement and Agreement

 

Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Issuer has consented to the acquisition by the CD&R Group (as defined in the Letter Agreement) of additional Common Shares, in open market purchases or through the use of forward purchase agreements or similar programs with third party financial institutions, provided that the number of Common Shares so acquired by the CD&R Group, when taken together with all other Common Shares beneficially owned (directly or indirectly) by the CD&R Group and the number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares beneficially owned (directly or indirectly) by the CD&R Group, does not exceed 30% of the sum of the total number of outstanding Common Shares and the number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares beneficially owned (directly or indirectly) by the CD&R Group, determined based on the most recent public filing by the Issuer prior to the date of the relevant acquisition of Common Shares by the CD&R Group.  In addition, the CD&R Group is restricted from transferring any Common Shares it beneficially owns to certain prohibited transferees, including persons who beneficially own five percent (5%) or more of any class or series (or the voting power of any class or series) of equity of the Issuer, certain specified competitors and certain potential activist investors, subject to specified exceptions.

Dear Sirs and Mesdames,

 

This master confirmation (this “Master Confirmation”) sets forth the terms and conditions of certain share purchase transactions (each, a “Transaction”) entered into from time to time between CD&R Boulder Holdings, L.P. (“Counterparty”) and Credit Suisse Capital LLC (“CS”), represented by Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (“Agent”) as its agent.  This Master Confirmation, taken alone, is neither a commitment by either party to enter into any Transaction nor evidence of a Transaction.  The additional terms of any particular Transaction shall be set forth in a Supplemental Confirmation in the form of Schedule A hereto (a “Supplemental Confirmation”), which shall reference this Master Confirmation and supplement, form a part of and be subject to this Master Confirmation.  This Master Confirmation and each Supplemental Confirmation together shall constitute a “Confirmation” under the Agreement specified below.

 

1.                                      The definitions and provisions contained in the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions, as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (the “Equity Definitions”) are incorporated into this Master Confirmation.  The Transaction shall be deemed to be a “Share Forward Transaction” for purposes of the Equity Definitions.  This Master Confirmation and each Supplemental Confirmation evidence a complete and binding agreement between Counterparty and CS as to the terms of each Transaction to which this Master Confirmation and such Supplemental Confirmation relate.

 

This Master Confirmation and each Supplemental Confirmation supplement, form parts of and are subject to an agreement (the “Agreement”) in the form of the ISDA 2002 Master Agreement as if CS and Counterparty had executed an agreement in such form on the date of this Master Confirmation (without any Schedule except for (i) the election of New York law (without reference to its choice of laws doctrine other than Title 14 of Article 5 of the New York General Obligations Law) as the governing law, (ii) the election that the “Cross Default” provisions of Section 5(a)(vi) shall apply to each of CS and Counterparty as if (x) the phrase “, or becoming capable at such time of being declared,” were deleted from Section 5(a)(vi)(1) of the Agreement and (y) the “Threshold Amount” with respect to CS were 3% of the stockholders’ equity of Credit Suisse Group AG and the “Threshold Amount” with respect to Counterparty were USD 25 million (provided that the following language shall be added to the end of such Section 5(a)(vi): “Notwithstanding the foregoing, a default under subsection (2) hereof shall not constitute an Event of Default if (i) the default was caused solely by error or omission of an administrative or operational nature; (ii) funds were available to enable the party to make the payment when due; and (iii) the payment is made within

 


 

two Local Business Days of such party’s receipt of written notice of its failure to pay.”), and (iii) the election that in relation to Counterparty, Clayton, Dubilier & Rice Fund IX, L.P. (“Parent”) shall be a Credit Support Provider and the guarantee of the Parent dated as of the date of this Master Confirmation shall be a Credit Support Document).  All provisions contained in the Agreement govern this Master Confirmation and each Supplemental Confirmation except as expressly modified below or in the related Supplemental Confirmation. If there is any inconsistency among the Agreement, this Master Confirmation, any Supplemental Confirmation and the Equity Definitions, the following will prevail in the order of precedence indicated: (i) such Supplemental Confirmation, (ii) this Master Confirmation; (iii) the Equity Definitions; and (iv) the Agreement.

An amount equal to (I) the product of (A)(i) the arithmetic average of the Daily VWAPs for the Scheduled Trading Days in the Calculation Period, other than any Scheduled Trading Day that is a Disregarded Day, subject to “Valuation Disruption” below, minus (ii) the Forward Price Adjustment Factor and (B) the sum of 1 plus the Forward Fee minus (II) the aggregate amount of any Extraordinary Dividends paid on the Shares constituting CS’ Hedge Position as of the open of business on the ex-dividend date for such Extraordinary Dividend divided by the Number of Shares.

 

 

 

Disregarded Day:

 

A Scheduled Trading Day (i) for which the Daily VWAP for such Scheduled Trading Day exceeds the Disregarded Day Price and (ii) that is not a Disrupted Day in full, in each case, as determined by the Calculation Agent.

Valuation Disruption:

 

If a Disrupted Day occurs during the Calculation Period, the Calculation Agent may, by written notice to Counterparty, postpone the Original Scheduled Date by up to one Scheduled Trading Day for each such Disrupted Day. If any such Disrupted Day is a Disrupted Day because of a Market Disruption Event, the Calculation Agent shall also determine whether any such Disrupted Day (i) is a Disrupted Day in full, in which case the Daily VWAP for such Disrupted Day shall not be included for purposes of determining the Forward Price, or (ii) is a Disrupted Day only in part, in which case the Daily VWAP for such Disrupted Day shall be determined by the Calculation Agent based on Rule 10b-18 Eligible Transactions in the Shares on such Disrupted Day effected before the relevant Market Disruption Event occurred and/or after the relevant Market Disruption Event ended (in each case, as determined by the Calculation Agent), and the weighting of the Daily VWAP for the relevant Exchange Business Day shall be adjusted in a commercially reasonable manner by the Calculation Agent for purposes of determining the Forward Price with such adjustments taking into account the duration of any Market Disruption Event and the volume, historical trading patterns and price of the Shares.

 

 

 

 

 

Any Exchange Business Day on which, as of the Trade Date, the Exchange is scheduled to close prior to its normal close of trading shall be deemed not to be an Exchange Business Day; if a closure of the Exchange prior to its normal close of trading on any Exchange Business Day is scheduled following the date hereof, then such Exchange Business Day shall be deemed to be a Disrupted Day in full.

 


 

 

 

If a Disrupted Day occurs during the Calculation Period, and each of the nine immediately following Scheduled Trading Days is a Disrupted Day (a “Disruption Event”), then the Calculation Agent may (x) deem such ninth Scheduled Trading Day to be an Exchange Business Day that is not a Disrupted Day and determine the Daily VWAP for such ninth Scheduled Trading Day using its good faith estimate of the value of the Shares on such ninth Scheduled Trading Day based on the volume, historical trading patterns and price of the Shares and such other factors as it deems appropriate, (y) deem such Disruption Event (and each consecutive Disrupted Day thereafter) to be a Potential Adjustment Event and/or (z) deem such Disruption Event to be an Additional Termination Event in respect of such Transaction, with Counterparty as the sole Affected Party and such Transaction as the sole Affected Transaction.

 

 

 

 

 

The Calculation Agent (x) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the parties of any Disrupted Day as promptly as practicable (not later than three Local Business Days following such Disrupted Day) and (y) shall use good faith efforts to notify the parties of any determination pursuant to these Valuation Disruption provisions of (i) whether any Disrupted Day is a Disrupted Day in full or a Disrupted Day in part and (ii) the Daily VWAP for any Disrupted Day in part as promptly as practicable, but no later than the third Local Business Day following the last consecutive affected Exchange Business Day.

CS shall promptly notify Counterparty upon exercising its rights pursuant to this provision and shall

 


 

 

 

subsequently notify Counterparty in writing on the day CS reasonably believes in good faith and upon the advice of counsel that it may resume its market activity.

Announcement Date:

 

The definition of “Announcement Date” in Section 12.1(l) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by replacing clauses (i) and (ii) with the following: “(i) in the case of a Merger Event or a Significant Transaction, the date of the first public announcement by any entity of any intention to engage in or to explore the possibility of engaging in a transaction (whether or not subsequently amended) that would, if consummated, lead to a Merger Event or a Significant Transaction, as determined by the Calculation Agent, (ii) in the case of a Tender Offer, the date of the first public announcement by any entity of any intention to purchase or otherwise obtain or to explore the possibility of purchasing or otherwise obtaining the requisite number of voting shares or Shares (whether or not subsequently amended) that would, if consummated, lead to a Tender Offer, as determined by the Calculation Agent (or, in the case of either clause (i) or (ii), any subsequent public announcement of a withdrawal, discontinuation, termination or other change to such transaction or intention),”.

 

 

 

Consequences of Announcement Events:

 

With respect to any Announcement Event, the Calculation Agent will determine the economic effect of such Announcement Event on the theoretical value of the Transaction (and may take into account, without limitation, any change in volatility, expected dividends, correlation, stock loan rate or liquidity relevant to the Shares or to such Transaction) and (i) the Calculation Agent will adjust the terms of such Transaction to reflect such economic effect to CS and determine the effective date of such adjustment or (ii) if the Calculation Agent determines, on or after the Announcement Date, that no adjustment it could make under clause (i) above is likely to produce a commercially reasonable result, notify the parties that such Transaction will

 


 

 

 

be terminated, in which case the amount payable upon such termination will be determined by CS pursuant to the terms of this Master Confirmation as if such Announcement Event were an Extraordinary Event to which Cancellation and Payment were applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, any such adjustment shall be without prejudice to the application of the provisions set forth in the preceding sentence, “Consequences of Merger Events” and/or “Consequences of Tender Offers” with respect to any other Announcement Date in respect of the same event or transaction, or, if the related Merger Date or Tender Offer Date occurs on or prior to the Valuation Date or earlier date of termination or cancellation, with respect to the related Merger Event or Tender Offer; provided that any such adjustment shall be taken into account by the Calculation Agent or the Determining Party, as the case may be, in determining any subsequent adjustment to the terms of such Transaction, or in subsequently determining any Cancellation Amount or an Early Termination Amount, as the case may be, on account of any related Announcement Date, Merger Event or Tender Offer.

4.                                      Additional Representations, Warranties and Agreements.

5.                                      Acknowledgements Regarding Hedging.

 

Counterparty acknowledges and agrees that:

 

(a)                                 During the Relevant Period for any Transaction, CS 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 such Transaction;

 

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

 

(c)                                  Without limiting the generality of Section 3(a) above, CS 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 Forward Price and/or the Daily VWAP for each Transaction; and

 

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

 

6.                                      Additional Provisions Relating to Delivery of Shares.

 

(a)                                 CS may postpone the Original Scheduled Date for any Transaction or postpone or extend any other date of

 


 

valuation or delivery with respect to some or all of the relevant Shares, upon written notice to Counterparty, if CS determines, in its reasonable discretion, that such postponement or extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate to preserve CS’ hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions (including but not limited to the liquidity in the stock borrow market) or to enable CS or its Affiliates to effect transactions with respect to Shares in connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if CS or its Affiliates were an affiliated purchaser of Issuer, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to CS and its Affiliates.

 

(b)                                 CS may, by notice to Counterparty on or prior to the Settlement Date for any Transaction, elect to deliver any Shares deliverable on such Settlement Date on the one or two Exchange Business Days immediately prior to such Settlement Date and/or such Settlement Date (each, a “Staggered Settlement Date”) or at two or more times on such Settlement Date as follows: (i) in such notice, CS will specify to Counterparty the related Staggered Settlement Dates (each of which will be on or prior to such Settlement Date, but not earlier than the date that is the second Exchange Business Day immediately prior to such Settlement Date) or delivery times and how it will allocate the Shares it is required to deliver under the applicable settlement method above among the Staggered Settlement Dates or delivery times; and (ii) the aggregate number of Shares that CS or its Affiliates will deliver to Counterparty pursuant to such Transaction on all such Staggered Settlement Dates and delivery times will equal the number of Shares that CS would otherwise be required to deliver on such Settlement Date.

 

7.                                      Transfer.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, CS may assign or transfer its rights or obligations under any Transaction, in whole or in part, to any of its Affiliates of equivalent or better credit quality (or whose obligations under such Transaction are guaranteed by a person of such credit quality); provided that, under applicable law as in effect on the date of such transfer or assignment, (i) Counterparty will not be required to pay to the transferee an amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement as a result of such transfer or assignment; and (ii) Counterparty will not receive a payment from which an amount has been withheld or deducted, on account of a Tax under Section 2(d)(i) of the Agreement following such transfer or assignment .  In addition, if at any time at which (A) the Ownership Percentage exceeds 9.0% or (B) the Ownership Percentage exceeds the Applicable Share Limit (if any applies) (any such condition described in clauses (A) or (B), an “Excess Ownership Position”), CS is unable after using its commercially reasonable efforts to effect a transfer or assignment of such Transaction to a third party on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to CS and within a time period reasonably acceptable to CS such that no Excess Ownership Position exists, then CS may deem that an Additional Termination Event has occurred with respect to a portion of such Transaction (the “Terminated Portion”), such that following termination of the Terminated Portion no Excess Ownership Position would exist, with Counterparty as the sole Affected Party.   The “Ownership Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that CS and and/or its Affiliates hold for the purposes of a Transaction hereunder and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding.  The “Applicable Share Limit” means a number of Shares equal to (A) the minimum number of Shares that would give rise to restrictions or reporting or registration obligations (other than an obligation to file a Schedule 13G with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)) or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval from any person or entity) of a CS Person, or otherwise result in an adverse effect on a CS Person, under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by CS in its reasonable discretion, minus (B) 0.5% of the number of Shares outstanding.

 

8.                                      Additional Provisions.

 

(a)                                 If the Condition Satisfaction Date has not occurred on or prior to the second Scheduled Trading Day prior to the Original Scheduled Date of the Transaction documented under Supplemental Confirmation — Tranche 2, an Additional Termination Event shall occur with respect to all outstanding Transactions hereunder, with Counterparty as the sole Affected Party and such outstanding Transactions as the sole Affected Transactions; provided that (i) in no event shall the Early Termination Date with respect to such Additional Termination Event be a date that is earlier than six months following the Settlement Date under the Transaction documented under Supplemental Confirmation — Tranche 1and (ii) in connection with the

 


 

calculation of the Close-out Amount, the Non-affected Party shall (X) based on advice of its counsel, dispose or otherwise unwind its Hedge Positions in connection with the Affected Transactions in a commercially reasonable manner in compliance with the applicable U.S. securities laws (including, without limitation, its internal policies and procedures with respect thereto) and (Y) calculate such Close-out Amount taking into account any losses or costs incurred in connection with its delay in terminating, liquidating or re-establishing any Hedge Positions for the Affected Transactions; it being understood (A) that Counterparty is an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) of the Issuer and (B) CS shall not dispose of or otherwise unwind its Hedge Position between the second Scheduled Trading Day prior to the Original Scheduled Date of the Transaction documented under Supplemental Confirmation — Tranche 2 and the Early Termination Date.  For the avoidance of doubt, no Shares shall be delivered to Counterparty in connection with such Additional Termination Event.

 

(b)                                 Counterparty shall promptly, but in no case no later than one Scheduled Trading Day prior to the date on which it files any Schedule 13D/A with the SEC in connection with the Shares, provide a draft of such filing to CS and provide CS with a reasonable opportunity to comment thereon.

 

9.                                      Account Details.

12.                               Tax Matters.  For purposes of Sections 4(a)(i) and (ii) of the Agreement, Counterparty agrees to deliver to CS a duly executed and completed United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8-IMY, along with the withholding foreign partnership certificate meeting the requirements of section 1.1441-5(c)(2)(iv) of US Treasury Regulations, (or successor thereto) (i) upon execution of this Agreement, (ii) promptly upon reasonable demand by CS, and (iii) promptly upon learning that any such form previously provided to CS has become obsolete or incorrect.
