| Re: | Amendment of the Issuer Warrant Transactions between Goldman, Sachs & Co. and salesforce.com, inc. (this “Amendment”) |
Dear Sir/Madam:
Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“GS&Co.”) and salesforce.com, inc. (“Issuer”) are parties to warrant transactions evidenced by the Base Issuer Warrant Transaction Confirmation dated as of January 12, 2010 (the “Base Warrant Confirmation”) and Additional Issuer Warrant Transaction Confirmation dated as of January 15, 2010 (the “Additional Warrant Confirmation” and, together with the Base Warrant Confirmation, the “Confirmations”), in each case between GS&Co. and Issuer. Terms used herein but are not otherwise defined shall have meanings assigned to them in the Confirmations.
1. Amendments. Effective upon execution hereof by the parties hereto, each Confirmation is hereby amended as follows:
(a) Deleting the definition of “Expiration Date” set forth in Section 2 of each Confirmation and replacing it with the following:
| “Expiration Date: | Each of the 10 consecutive Valid Days commencing on, and including, the later to occur of the second Scheduled Trading Day and the first Valid Day on which the Table Amount is less than the Table Amount Limit (such day, the “First Expiration Date”) following delivery of the Settlement Period Commencement Notice, in which case the Expiration Date for each Component shall be the sequential Valid Day corresponding to the number assigned to such Component in Annex A hereto, commencing on, and including, the First Expiration Date (and for the avoidance of doubt, the period starting on the first such Expiration Date and ending on the last such Expiration Date shall be the “Settlement Period” hereunder); provided that if that date is a Disrupted Day, the Expiration Date for such Component shall be the first |
1
succeeding Valid Day that is not a Disrupted Day and is not or is not deemed to be an Expiration Date in respect of any other Component of the Transaction hereunder; and provided further that if the Expiration Date has not occurred pursuant to the preceding proviso as of the Final Disruption Date, Dealer may elect in its reasonable discretion that the Final Disruption Date shall be the Expiration Date (irrespective of whether such date is an Expiration Date in respect of any other Component for the Transaction) and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation or the Definitions, the Relevant Price for such Expiration Date shall be the prevailing market value per Share determined by the Calculation Agent in a commercially reasonable manner. “Settlement Period Commencement Notice” means written notice by Issuer to GS&Co. that Issuer has received notice from Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, that the final expiration date under the similar warrant transactions entered into between Issuer and Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch has occurred (the “Prior Unwind Notice”), which Settlement Period Commencement Notice shall be delivered by the Issuer on the first Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the day on which the Prior Unwind Notice was received. “Final Disruption Date” means July 23, 2015. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary in the Equity Definitions, if a Market Disruption Event occurs on any Expiration Date, the Calculation Agent may reasonably determine that such Expiration Date is a Disrupted Day only in part, in which case (i) the Calculation Agent shall make reasonable adjustments to the Number of Warrants for the relevant Component for which such day shall be the Expiration Date and shall designate the Valid Day determined in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence as the Expiration Date for the remaining Warrants for such Component, and (ii) the VWAP Price for such Disrupted Day shall be reasonably determined by the Calculation Agent based on transactions in the Shares on such Disrupted Day taking into account the nature and duration of such Market Disruption Event on such day. Any day on which the Exchange is scheduled to close prior to its normal closing time shall be considered a Disrupted Day in whole. Section 6.6 of the Equity Definitions shall not apply to any Valuation Date occurring on an Expiration Date.
(b) Inserting the following definition immediately following the definition of “Expiration Date” in Section 2 of each Confirmation:
2
| “Valid Day: | Prior to April 17, 2015, any Scheduled Trading Day on which the VWAP Price is less than the Limit Price; on and following April 17, 2015, any Scheduled Trading Day shall be a Valid Day. |
| Limit Price: | As set forth on Annex B hereto.” |
(c) Deleting the column entitled “Expiration Date” in Annex A of each Confirmation.
(d) Deleting the definition of “Number of Shares to be Delivered” set forth in Section 2 of each Confirmation and replacing it with the following:
| “Number of Shares to be Delivered: | In respect of any Exercise Date, a number of Shares equal to the sum of: |
| (1) | the product of (i) the number of Warrants exercised or deemed exercised on such Exercise Date, (ii) the Warrant Entitlement and (iii) (A) the excess, if any, of the VWAP Price on the Valuation Date occurring on such Exercise Date over the Strike Price (or if there is no such excess, zero) divided by (B) such VWAP Price; and |
| (2) | the Supplemental Share Amount for such Exercise Date. |
The Number of Shares to be Delivered shall be delivered by Issuer to Dealer no later than 12:00 noon (local time in New York City) on the Settlement Date.
| Fractional Shares: | Notwithstanding the last sentence of Section 9.5 of the Equity Definitions, in the event the sum of the Number of Shares to be Delivered for all Components comprises any fractional Share, the number of Shares delivered on the Settlement will include only whole Shares and a fractional share amount in USD equal to the product of such fractional Share and the VWAP Price on the final Expiration Date.” |
(e) Inserting the following definitions immediately following the definition of “Number of Shares to be Delivered” in Section 2 of the Base Warrant Confirmation:
| “Supplemental Share Amount: | In respect of any Exercise Date, a number of Shares equal to (i)(A) the Table Amount divided by (B) the scheduled number of Expiration Dates divided by (ii) the VWAP Price on the Valuation Date occurring on such Exercise Date. |
| Table Amount: | An amount determined by the Calculation Agent as of the First Expiration Date by reference to the date on which such First Expiration Date occurs and the VWAP Price on the First Expiration Date and derived from the table (the “Table”) set forth as Annex B hereto; provided that the Table Amount shall never be less than zero. The figures |
3
appearing in the Table are the Table Amounts for those First Expiration Dates and VWAP Prices that appear exactly in the relevant column or row, as applicable, of the Table. For First Expiration Dates or VWAP Prices falling between the dates or amounts, as applicable appearing in such column or row, as applicable, the Table Amount will be calculated by the Calculation Agent using linear interpolation (and, in the case of the First Expiration Dates, by reference to the actual number of days elapsed). If a Table Amount is otherwise not determinable pursuant to the foregoing because the VWAP Price is less than the lowest VWAP Price appearing in the Table, the Table Amount will be determined by the Calculation Agent by linear extrapolation based on the two lowest VWAP Prices appearing in the Table and subject to the proviso in the first sentence above. If a Table Amount is otherwise not determinable pursuant to the foregoing because the VWAP Price is greater than the highest VWAP Price appearing in the Table, the Table Amount will be determined by the Calculation Agent by linear extrapolation based on the two highest VWAP Prices appearing in the Table and subject to the proviso in the first sentence above.
| Table Amount Limit: | As set forth on Annex B hereto.” |
(f) Inserting the following definition immediately following the definition of “Number of Shares to be Delivered” in Section 2 of the Additional Warrant Confirmation:
| “Supplemental Share Amount: | In respect of any Exercise Date, a number of Shares equal to (i)(A) the Table Amount divided by (B) the scheduled number of Expiration Dates divided by (ii) the VWAP Price on the Valuation Date occurring on such Exercise Date. |
| Table Amount: | An amount determined by the Calculation Agent as of the First Expiration Date by reference to the date on which such First Expiration Date occurs and the VWAP Price on the First Expiration Date and derived from the table (the “Table”) set forth as Annex B hereto; provided that the Table Amount shall never be less than zero. The figures appearing in the Table are the Table Amounts for those First Expiration Dates and VWAP Prices that appear exactly in the relevant column or row, as applicable, of the Table. For First Expiration Dates or VWAP Prices falling between the dates or amounts, as applicable appearing in such column or row, as applicable, the Table Amount will be calculated by the Calculation Agent using linear interpolation (and, in the case of the First Expiration Dates, by reference to the actual number of days elapsed). If a Table Amount is otherwise not determinable pursuant to the foregoing |
4
because the VWAP Price is less than the lowest VWAP Price appearing in the Table, the Table Amount will be determined by the Calculation Agent by linear extrapolation based on the two lowest VWAP Prices appearing in the Table and subject to the proviso in the first sentence above. If a Table Amount is otherwise not determinable pursuant to the foregoing because the VWAP Price is greater than the highest VWAP Price appearing in the Table, the Table Amount will be determined by the Calculation Agent by linear extrapolation based on the two highest VWAP Prices appearing in the Table and subject to the proviso in the first sentence above.
| Table Amount Limit: | As set forth on Annex B hereto.” |
(g) Deleting the definition of “Settlement Date” set forth in Section 2 of each Confirmation and replacing it with the following:
| “Settlement Date: | For all Components, one Settlement Cycle following the final Expiration Date for the Transaction.” |
(h) Deleting the definition of “VWAP Price” set forth in Section 2 of each Confirmation and replacing it with the following:
| “VWAP Price: | For any Valuation Date, the Rule 10b-18 dollar volume-weighted average price per Share for such Valuation Date based on transactions executed during such Valuation Date, as reported on Bloomberg page “CRM.N <Equity> AQR SEC” (or any successor thereto) or, in the event such price is not so reported on such Valuation for any reason or is manifestly incorrect, as reasonably determined by the Calculation Agent (as defined in the Confirmations) using a volume weighted method.” |
(h) Section 7(a)(xi) of each Confirmation is amended by deleting the words “Bank of America, N.A., Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch” in the second line thereof.
(i) The Base Warrant Confirmation is amended by adding the table set forth on Schedule I to this Amendment as a new Annex B thereto.
(j) The Additional Warrant Confirmation is amended by adding the table set forth on Schedule II to this Amendment as a new Annex B thereto.
2. Election of Net Share Settlement. Effective upon execution hereof by the parties hereto, Issuer shall be deemed to have irrevocably elected Net Share Settlement as the Settlement Method Election under each Confirmation, and shall have no further right to make a Settlement Method Election under either Confirmation.
5
3. Agreement to Notify. Promptly following the occurrence of the final Expiration Date for the Transaction, GS&Co. shall notify Issuer as promptly as practicable that such final Expiration Date in respect of the Transaction has occurred.
