Settlement Method Election:	Physical Settlement, Cash Settlement, or Net Stock Settlement, at the election of Counterparty, in its sole discretion, as set forth in a Settlement Notice; provided that if Counterparty elects Cash Settlement or Net Stock Settlement, it shall be deemed to have repeated the representations contained under “Securities Laws Representations and Agreements” below; provided further that if no election is made by Counterparty, Physical Settlement shall apply. The parties hereto acknowledge that Counterparty cannot be obligated to settle this Transaction by cash payment unless Counterparty elects Cash Settlement; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to the payment of an Early Settlement Fee if the Early Unwind Date occurs as the result of the designation by Counterparty of a Settlement Date.

Physical Settlement:	If Physical Settlement is applicable, then Counterparty shall deliver to Deutsche through the Clearance System a number of Shares equal to the Settlement Shares for such Settlement Date, and Deutsche shall pay to Counterparty, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Counterparty, an amount equal to the Physical Settlement Amount for such Settlement Date.

Physical Settlement Amount:	For any Settlement Date for which Physical Settlement is applicable, an amount equal to the product of (a) the Forward Price in effect on the relevant Settlement Date multiplied by (b) the Settlement Shares for such Settlement Date.

Cash Settlement:	On any Settlement Date in respect of which Cash Settlement applies, if the Cash Settlement Amount is a positive number, Deutsche will pay the Cash Settlement Amount to Counterparty. If the Cash Settlement Amount is a negative number, Counterparty will pay the absolute value of the Cash Settlement Amount to Deutsche. Such amounts shall be paid on such Settlement Date.

Cash Settlement Amount:	An amount determined by the Calculation Agent equal to: (i)(A) the Forward Price as of the first day of the applicable Unwind Period minus (B) the weighted average price (the “Unwind Purchase Price”) at which Deutsche purchases Shares during the Unwind Period to unwind its hedge with respect to the portion of the Number of Shares to be settled during the Unwind Period (including, for the avoidance of doubt, purchases on any Suspension Day or Disrupted Day in part), taking into account Shares anticipated to be delivered or received if Net Stock Settlement applies, and the restrictions of Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act agreed to hereunder, plus USD 0.02, multiplied by (ii) the Settlement Shares.

Net Stock Settlement:	On any Settlement Date in respect of which Net Stock Settlement applies, if the Cash Settlement Amount is a (i) positive number, Deutsche shall deliver a number of Shares to Counterparty equal to the Net Stock Settlement Shares,

	or (ii) negative number, Counterparty shall deliver a number of Shares to Deutsche equal to the Net Stock Settlement Shares; provided that if Deutsche determines in its good faith judgment that it would be required to deliver Net Stock Settlement Shares to Counterparty, Deutsche may elect to deliver a portion of such Net Stock Settlement Shares on one or more dates prior to the applicable Settlement Date.

Net Stock Settlement Shares:	With respect to a Settlement Date, the absolute value of the Cash Settlement Amount divided by the Unwind Purchase Price, with the number of Shares rounded up in the event such calculation results in a fractional number.

Unwind Period:	The period from and including the first Exchange Business Day following the date Counterparty elects Cash Settlement or Net Stock Settlement in respect of a Settlement Date through the third Scheduled Trading Day preceding such Settlement Date (as such date may be changed by Deutsche as described in the first proviso in clause (a) of the definition of Settlement Date above and provided that Deutsche may truncate any Unwind Period pending (and reduce the Settlement Shares for such Unwind Period to the portion thereof, if any, for which Deutsche has determined an Unwind Purchase Price) at the time Deutsche designates a Settlement Date pursuant to the “Acceleration Events” provisions below, effective upon such designation).

Failure to Deliver:	Applicable

Suspension Day:	Any day on which Deutsche determines based on the advice of outside counsel of national standing that Cash Settlement or Net Stock Settlement may violate applicable securities laws or cause Deutsche to not be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Deutsche.

Share Cap:	Except as provided under “Private Placement and Registration Procedures” below, in no event will Counterparty be required to deliver to Deutsche on any Settlement Date, whether pursuant to Physical Settlement, Net Stock Settlement, any Private Placement Settlement or any Registration Settlement, a number of Shares in excess of (i) the Initial Number of Shares minus (ii) the aggregate number of Shares delivered by Counterparty to Deutsche hereunder prior to such Settlement Date.

(ii) Counterparty agrees and acknowledges that Deutsche will hedge its exposure to this Transaction by selling Shares borrowed from third party securities lenders or other Shares pursuant to a registration statement, and that, pursuant to the terms of the Interpretive Letter, the Shares (up to the Initial Number of Shares) delivered, pledged or loaned by Counterparty to Deutsche in connection with this Transaction may be used by Deutsche to return to securities lenders without further registration under the Securities Act. Accordingly, Counterparty agrees that the Shares that it delivers, pledges or loans to Deutsche on or prior to the final Settlement Date will not bear a restrictive legend and that such Shares will be deposited in, and the delivery thereof shall be effected through the facilities of, the Clearance System.

(ii) It is the intent of Deutsche and Counterparty that following any election of Cash Settlement or Net Stock Settlement by Counterparty, the purchase of Shares by Deutsche during any Unwind Period comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-l(c)(l)(i)(B) of the Exchange Act and that this Confirmation shall be interpreted to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-l(c).

If on any day after the Trade Date, the board of directors of Counterparty votes to approve any action that, if consummated, would constitute a Merger Event, then Counterparty shall notify Deutsche of such occurrence within one Scheduled Trading Day after such occurrence and Deutsche shall be entitled to designate any Scheduled Trading Day prior to the date the Number of Shares is first reduced to zero to be a Settlement Date, by providing Counterparty at least twenty Scheduled Trading Days’ notice prior to the relevant Settlement Date, and to designate the number of Settlement Shares for the relevant Settlement Date.

(v) ISDA Termination. In lieu of (a) designating an Early Termination Date as the result of an Event of Default or Termination Event, (b) terminating this Transaction and determining a Cancellation Amount as the result of an Additional Disruption Event, or (c) terminating this Transaction and determining an amount payable in connection with an Extraordinary Event to which Cancellation and Payment would otherwise be applicable, Deutsche shall be entitled to designate any Scheduled Trading Day prior to the date the Number of Shares is first reduced to zero to be a Settlement Date with respect to the Number of Shares as the Settlement Shares.

(vi) Termination Settlement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the Agreement or in the Equity Definitions, if a Settlement Date is designated by Deutsche as the result of one of the foregoing sub-paragraphs (i) through (v), Physical Settlement shall apply to the relevant Settlement Shares.

Private Placement and Registration Procedures. If Counterparty notifies Deutsche that it is unable to comply with the provisions of sub-paragraph (ii) of “Agreements and Acknowledgments Regarding Shares” above because of a change in law or a change in the policy of the Securities and Exchange Commission or its staff, or Deutsche notifies Counterparty that in its reasonable opinion any Shares to be delivered to Deutsche by Counterparty may not be freely returned by Deutsche to securities lenders as described under such sub-paragraph (ii), or otherwise constitute “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act (the date such notification is effective being the “Determination Date”), then Counterparty may elect to effect the delivery of any such Shares (the “Restricted

Shares”) pursuant to either clause (i) or (ii) below, unless waived by Deutsche, on the later of (A)(1) if Private Placement Settlement is applicable, the tenth Scheduled Trading Day following the Determination Date or (2) if Registration Settlement is applicable, the thirtieth calendar day following the Determination Date (or if such day is not a Clearance System Business Day, the next Clearance System Business Day), (B) the date such delivery would otherwise be due pursuant to the terms of this Confirmation and (C) the Clearance System Business Day following notice by Deutsche to Counterparty of the number of Shares to be delivered pursuant to these “Private Placement and Registration Procedures”; provided that if Counterparty does not so elect within three Scheduled Trading Days of the Determination Date, Counterparty shall be deemed to have elected clause (i) below.

(i) If Counterparty is obligated to settle the Transaction with Restricted Shares (a “Private Placement Settlement”), then delivery of Restricted Shares by Counterparty shall be effected in customary private placement procedures with respect to such Restricted Shares reasonably acceptable to Deutsche; provided that Counterparty may not elect a Private Placement Settlement if, on the date of its election, it has taken, or caused to be taken, any action that would make unavailable either the exemption pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for the sale by Counterparty to Deutsche (or any affiliate designated by Deutsche) of the Restricted Shares or the exemption pursuant to Section 4(1) or Section 4(3) of the Securities Act for resales of the Restricted Shares by Deutsche (or any such affiliate of Deutsche). The Private Placement Settlement of such Restricted Shares shall include customary representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to Deutsche, due diligence rights (for Deutsche or any designated buyer of the Restricted Shares by Deutsche), opinions and certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for private placement agreements, all reasonably acceptable to Deutsche. In the case of a Private Placement Settlement, Deutsche shall, in its good faith discretion, adjust the amount of Restricted Shares to be delivered to Deutsche hereunder in a commercially reasonable manner to reflect the fact that (A) such Restricted Shares may not be freely returned to securities lenders by Deutsche and may only be saleable by Deutsche at a discount to reflect the lack of liquidity in Restricted Shares and (B) Deutsche will incur carrying costs and other costs in connection with its hedge unwind activity relating to such Private Placement Settlement; provided that in no event will Counterparty be required to deliver to Deutsche a number of Restricted Shares in excess of (i) the Initial Number of Shares multiplied by two, minus (ii) the aggregate number of Shares delivered by Counterparty to Deutsche hereunder prior to the date of such delivery (the “Maximum Delivery Amount”). If Deutsche adjusts the amount of Restricted Shares, it shall provide Counterparty with a statement indicating in reasonable detail how such share adjustment was determined.

If Counterparty delivers any Restricted Shares in respect of this Transaction, Counterparty agrees that (A) such Shares may be transferred by and among Deutsche and its affiliates and (B) after the “holding period” specified in Rule 144(d)(ii) under the Securities Act has elapsed, Counterparty shall promptly remove, or cause the transfer agent for the Shares to remove, any legends referring to any transfer restrictions from such Shares upon delivery by Deutsche (or such affiliate of Deutsche) to Counterparty or such transfer agent of any seller’s and broker’s representation letters customarily delivered by Deutsche or its affiliates in connection with resales of restricted securities pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, each without any further requirement for the delivery of any certificate, consent, agreement, opinion of counsel, notice or any other document, any transfer tax stamps or payment of any other amount or any other action by Deutsche (or such affiliate of Deutsche).

(ii) If Counterparty elects to settle the Transaction pursuant to this clause (ii) (a “Registration Settlement”), then Counterparty shall promptly (but in any event no later than the Scheduled Trading Day immediately prior to the date delivery of the Shares is due pursuant to the terms of these “Private Placement and Registration Procedures”) file and use its reasonable efforts to make effective under the Securities Act a registration statement or supplement or amend an outstanding registration statement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Deutsche, to cover the resale of Restricted Shares (the “Registered Shares”) in accordance with customary resale registration procedures, including covenants, conditions, representations, underwriting discounts, commissions, indemnities, due diligence rights, opinions and certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for equity resale underwriting agreements, all reasonably acceptable to Deutsche. If Deutsche, in its reasonable discretion, is not satisfied with such procedures and documentation or if a Settlement Date is designated by Deutsche pursuant to the “Acceleration Events” provisions above, Private Placement Settlement shall apply and Counterparty shall effect delivery of Restricted Shares by the tenth Scheduled Trading Day following notification from Deutsche. In the case of a Registration Settlement, Deutsche shall, in its good faith discretion, adjust the amount of Registered Shares

to be delivered to Deutsche hereunder in a commercially reasonable manner to reflect the fact that Deutsche will incur carrying costs and other costs in connection with its hedge unwind activity relating to such Registered Settlement; provided that in no event will Counterparty be required to deliver to Deutsche a number of Registered Shares in excess of the Maximum Delivery Amount. If Deutsche adjusts the amount of Registered Shares, it shall provide Counterparty with a statement indicating in reasonable detail how such share adjustment was determined.

Indemnity. Counterparty agrees to indemnify Deutsche and its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons (Deutsche and each such affiliate or person being an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities, joint and several, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Party arising out of, in connection with, or relating to, the execution or delivery of this Confirmation, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations under the Transaction, any breach of any covenant or representation made by Counterparty in this Confirmation or the Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and will reimburse any Indemnified Party for all reasonable expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) as they are incurred in connection with the investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim or any action or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto, except to the extent resulting from Deutsche’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Waiver of Trial by Jury. EACH OF COUNTERPARTY AND DEUTSCHE 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 DEUTSCHE OR ITS AFFILIATES IN THE NEGOTIATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.

Governing Law/Jurisdiction. This Confirmation shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without reference to the conflict of laws provisions thereof. The parties hereto irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the United States 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.

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

EITF 00-19; Alternative Settlement. The parties hereby agree that all documentation with respect to this Transaction is intended to qualify this Transaction as an equity instrument for purposes of EITF Issue No. 00-19. If, subject to “Netting and Set-off” below, Counterparty owes Deutsche any amount in connection with this Transaction pursuant to Section 12.7 or 12.9 of the Equity Definitions (except in the case of an Extraordinary Event in which the consideration or proceeds to be paid to holders of Shares as a result of such event consists solely of cash) or pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (except in the case of an Event of Default in which Counterparty is the Defaulting Party or a Termination Event in which Counterparty is the Affected Party, other than (x) an Event of Default of the type described in Section 5(a)(iii), (v), (vi) or (vii) of the Agreement or (y) a Termination Event of the type described in Section 5(b)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), or (v) of the Agreement that in the case of either (x) or (y) resulted from an event or events outside Counterparty’s control) (a “Payment Obligation”), Counterparty shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to satisfy any such Payment Obligation by delivery of Termination Delivery Units (as defined below) by giving irrevocable telephonic notice to Deutsche, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day, between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. New York time on the Closing Date or Early Termination Date, as applicable (“Notice of Termination Delivery”). Upon Notice of Termination Delivery, Counterparty shall deliver to Deutsche a number of Termination Delivery Units having a cash value equal to the amount of such Payment Obligation (such number of Termination Delivery Units to be delivered to be determined by the Calculation Agent acting in a commercially reasonable manner, taking into account whether the Termination Delivery Units so delivered are freely tradable). Settlement relating to any delivery of Termination Delivery Units pursuant to this provision shall occur within three Scheduled Trading Days. “Termination Delivery Unit” means (A) in the case of a Termination Event, an Event of Default or an Extraordinary Event (other than an Insolvency, Nationalization, Merger Event or Tender Offer), one Share or (B) in the case of an Insolvency, Nationalization,

Merger Event or Tender Offer, 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, Merger Event or Tender Offer; provided that if such Insolvency, Nationalization, Merger Event or Tender Offer 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.

Disclosure. Effective from the date of commencement of discussions concerning the Transaction, each of Deutsche and Counterparty and each of their 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) relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.

Right to Extend. Deutsche may postpone any Settlement Date or any other date of valuation or delivery, with respect to some or all of the relevant Settlement Shares, if Deutsche determines, in its discretion, that such extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable Deutsche to effect purchases of Shares in connection with its hedging activity hereunder or under any other Equity Contract in a manner that would, if Deutsche were Counterparty or an affiliated purchaser of Counterparty, be in compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements, as determined by Deutsche based upon the advice of outside counsel of national standing.

Counterparty Share Repurchases. Counterparty agrees not to repurchase any Shares if, immediately following such purchase, the Number of Shares under this Confirmation and all other Equity Contracts (as defined in “Netting and Set-off” below) would be equal to or greater than 8.0% of the number of then-outstanding Shares or such lower number of Shares as Deutsche notifies Counterparty would, in the reasonable judgment of outside counsel of national standing for Deutsche, present legal or regulatory issues for Deutsche.

Limit on Beneficial Ownership. Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, Deutsche shall not be entitled to receive Shares hereunder (whether in connection with the purchase of Shares on any Settlement Date or otherwise) to the extent (but only to the extent) that such receipt would result in Deutsche and its affiliates (i) directly or indirectly beneficially owning (as such term is defined for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) at any time in excess of 4.9% of the outstanding Shares or (ii) having direct or indirect ownership or control (for purposes of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended) at any time in excess of 4.9% of the outstanding Shares. Any purported delivery hereunder shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that such delivery would result in Deutsche and its affiliates directly or indirectly so beneficially owning or so owning or controlling in excess of 4.9% of the outstanding Shares. If any delivery owed to Deutsche hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, Counterparty’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and Counterparty shall make such delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than one Exchange Business Day after, Deutsche gives notice to Counterparty that such delivery would not result in Deutsche and its affiliates directly or indirectly so beneficially owning or so owning or controlling in excess of 4.9% of the outstanding Shares.

Commodity Exchange Act. Each of Deutsche 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 (the “CEA”), the Agreement and this Transaction are subject to individual negotiation by the parties and have not been executed or traded on a “trading facility” as defined in Section 1a(33) of the CEA.

Securities Act. Each of Deutsche and Counterparty agrees and represents that it is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act, or an “accredited investor” as defined under the Securities Act.

ERISA. Each of Deutsche and Counterparty agrees and represents that the assets used in the Transaction (a) are not assets of any “plan” (as such term is defined in Section 4975 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”)) subject to Section 4975 of the Code or any “employee benefit plan” (as such term is defined in Section 3(3) of the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”)) subject to Title I of ERISA, and (b) do not constitute “plan assets” (as such term is defined in Section 3(42) of ERISA).

Bankruptcy Status. Deutsche acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to convey to Deutsche rights with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby that are senior to the claims of Counterparty’s common stockholders in any U.S. bankruptcy proceedings of Counterparty; provided, however, that nothing herein

shall be deemed to limit Deutsche’s right to pursue remedies in the event of a breach by Counterparty of its obligations and agreements with respect to this Confirmation and the Agreement; and provided, further, that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Deutsche’s rights in respect of any transaction other than this Transaction.

No Collateral. The parties acknowledge that this Transaction is not secured by any collateral that would otherwise secure the obligations of Counterparty herein under or pursuant to the Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Transaction will not be considered to create obligations covered by any collateral credit support annex to the Agreement and will be disregarded for the purposes of calculating any exposures pursuant to any such annex.

Netting and Set-off. Deutsche agrees not to set-off or net amounts due from Counterparty with respect to this Transaction against amounts due from Deutsche to Counterparty under obligations other than Equity Contracts. Section 2(c) of the Agreement as it applies to payments due with respect to this Transaction shall remain in effect and is not subject to the first sentence of this provision. The parties agree that Section 6(f) of the Agreement is amended and restated to read as follows:

“(f) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or Termination Event with respect to Counterparty as the Defaulting Party or the Affected Party (“X”), Deutsche (“Y”) will have the right (but not be obliged) without prior notice to X or any other person to set-off or apply any obligation of X under an Equity Contract owed to Y (or any Affiliate of Y) (whether or not matured or contingent and whether or not arising under this Agreement, and regardless of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the obligation) against any obligation of Y (or any Affiliate of Y) under an Equity Contract owed to X (whether or not matured or contingent and whether or not arising under this Agreement, and regardless of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the obligation). Y will give notice to the other party of any set-off effected under this Section 6(f).

“Equity Contract” shall mean for purposes of this Section 6(f) any Transaction relating to Shares sold pursuant to the Distribution Agreement.

If any obligation is unascertained, Y may in good faith estimate that obligation and set-off in respect of the estimate, subject to the relevant party accounting to the other when the obligation is ascertained.

Nothing in this Section 6(f) shall be effective to create a charge or other security interest. This Section 6(f) shall be without prejudice and in addition to any right of set-off, combination of accounts, lien or other right to which any party is at any time otherwise entitled (whether by operation of law, contract or otherwise).”

Tax Representations.

(i) For the purpose of Section 3(e) of the Agreement, each party makes the following representation:

(A) It is not required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice of any relevant governmental revenue authority, of any Relevant Jurisdiction to make any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax from any payment (other than interest under Section 9(h) of the Agreement and any other payments of interest and penalty charges for late payment) to be made by it to the other party under the Agreement.

(B) In making this representation, a party may rely on (i) the accuracy of any representations made by the other party pursuant to Section 3(f) of this Agreement, (ii) the satisfaction of the agreement contained in Section 4(a)(i) or 4(a)(iii) of the Agreement, and the accuracy and effectiveness of any document provided by the other party pursuant to Section 4(a)(i) or 4(a)(iii) of the Agreement, and (iii) the satisfaction of the agreement of the other party contained in Section 4(d) of the Agreement, provided that it shall not be a breach of this representation where reliance is placed on

clause (ii) above and the other party does not deliver a form or document under Section 4(a)(iii) by reason of material prejudice to its legal or commercial position.

(ii) For the purpose of Section 3(f) of the Agreement:

(A) Deutsche makes the following representation(s):

(1) It is a “foreign person” within the meaning of the applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations concerning information reporting and backup withholding tax.

(2) Each payment received or to be received by it under this Transaction will be effectively connected with its conduct of a trade or business in the United States.

(B) Counterparty represents that it is a “U.S. person” (as that term is used in section 1.1441-4(a)(3)(ii) of United States Treasury Regulations) for United States federal income tax purposes.

(iii) For the purpose of Section 4(a)(i) of the Agreement, promptly upon execution of this Confirmation, Counterparty shall provide to Deutsche a valid and duly executed IRS Form W-9 and any required attachments thereto.

(iv) For the purpose of Section 4(a)(i) of the Agreement, Deutsche shall provide to Counterparty a valid and duly executed IRS Form W-8ECI and any required attachments thereto (A) promptly upon execution of this Confirmation, (B) promptly upon reasonable demand by Counterparty and (C) promptly upon learning that any Form previously provided by Deutsche has become obsolete or incorrect.
