(“GS&Co.”) and Highland Crusader Offshore Partners, L.P. (“Counterparty”).
     1. This Confirmation is subject to, and incorporates, the definitions and provisions of the 2006 ISDA Definitions (including the Annex thereto) (the “2006 Definitions”) and the definitions and provisions of the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “Equity Definitions”, and together with the 2006 Definitions, the “Definitions”), in each case as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”). In the event of any inconsistency between the 2006 Definitions and the Equity Definitions, the Equity Definitions will govern.
     This Confirmation shall be subject to an agreement (the “Agreement”) in the form of the 1992 ISDA Master Agreement as if GS&Co. and Counterparty had executed an agreement in such form on the date hereof (but without any Schedule except for (i) the election of Loss and Second Method and US Dollars (“USD”) as the Termination Currency, (ii) the replacement of the word “third” in the last line of Section 5(a)(i) with the word “first”, (iii) the election that the “Cross Default” provision of Section 5(a)(vi) shall apply to Counterparty, with a “Threshold Amount” of USD20,000,000, and (iv) the election of “Netting” provision of Section 2(c) with the deletion of “and” at the end of clause (i) thereof and deleting clause (ii) thereof and the replacement of each occurrence of the word “Transactions” in Section 2(c) with the words “transactions between Counterparty and GS&Co.”). This Confirmation, together with the Agreement, evidences a complete and binding agreement between GS&Co. and Counterparty as to the terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other agreement between GS&Co. and Counterparty, the Transaction hereunder shall be the sole Transaction under the Agreement.
     All provisions contained in, or incorporated by reference to, the Agreement will govern this Confirmation except as expressly modified herein. In the event of any inconsistency between this Confirmation and the Definitions or the Agreement, as the case may be, this Confirmation shall govern.
     2. The Transaction constitutes a Share Option Transaction for the purposes of the Equity Definitions. The terms of the particular Transaction to which this Confirmation relates are as follows:

Y will give notice to the other party of any set-off effected under this Section 9.
          Amounts (or the relevant portion of such amounts) subject to set-off may be converted by Y into the Termination Currency at the rate of exchange at which such party would be able, acting in a reasonable manner and in good faith, to purchase the relevant amount of such currency. 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
