| (a) | Counterparty has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations in respect of this Transaction; such execution, delivery and performance have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on Counterparty’s part; and this Confirmation has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Counterparty and constitutes its valid and binding obligation, enforceable against Counterparty in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) and except that rights to indemnification and contribution hereunder may be limited by federal or state securities laws or public policy relating thereto. | ||
| (b) | Neither the execution and delivery of this Confirmation nor the incurrence or performance of obligations of Counterparty hereunder will conflict with or result in a breach of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or any equivalent documents) of Counterparty, or any applicable law or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or agency, or any agreement or instrument to which Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries is subject, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien under, any such agreement or instrument. | ||
| (c) | No consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or filing with, any governmental agency or body or any court is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by Counterparty of this Confirmation, except such as have been obtained or made and such as may be required under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or state securities laws. | ||
| (d) | Counterparty is not and will not be required to register as an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. | ||
| (e) | It is an “eligible contract participant” (as such term is defined in Section 1a(12) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended (the “CEA”)) because one or more of the following is true: | ||
| Counterparty is a corporation, partnership, proprietorship, organization, trust or other entity and: |
| (A) | Counterparty has total assets in excess of USD 10,000,000; |
9
| (B) | the obligations of Counterparty hereunder are guaranteed, or otherwise supported by a letter of credit or keepwell, support or other agreement, by an entity of the type described in Section 1a(12)(A)(i) through (iv), 1a(12)(A)(v)(I), 1a(12)(A)(vii) or 1a(12)(C) of the CEA; or | ||

| (f) | Counterparty is not, on the date hereof, in possession of any material non-public information with respect to Counterparty. | ||
| (g) | No state or local (including, for the avoidance of doubt, jurisdictions outside the United States) law, rule, regulation or regulatory order applicable to the Shares or Counterparty (including without limitation any such law, regulation or order regulating the gaming business or the consumer financing business, but excluding Federal securities laws) (“Applicable State Share Ownership Law”) would give rise to any reporting or registration obligations or other requirements on Dealer or its affiliates (including obtaining prior approval from any person or entity), or would result in an adverse effect on Dealer or its affiliates, (each, an “Ownership Obligation”), as a consequence of Dealer and its affiliates collectively holding the power to vote Shares in excess of any threshold amount that is less than 10% of the number of Shares outstanding; and no Applicable State Share Ownership Law imposes any Ownership Obligation by any method other than counting the number of Shares which a person holds the power to vote. | ||
| (h) | Counterparty does not hold any license to operate a gaming business in any jurisdiction (including without limitation any jurisdiction outside the United States) other than Puerto Rico, and Counterparty is not subject to regulation under any law, rule, regulation or regulatory order relating to the gaming business of any jurisdiction (including without limitation jurisdictions outside the United States) other than under the gaming regulations issued by the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico Tourism Company. |

| (b) | Repurchase Notices. Counterparty shall, on any day on which Counterparty effects any repurchase of Shares, promptly give Dealer a written notice of such repurchase (a “Repurchase Notice”) on such day if following such repurchase, the number of outstanding Shares as determined on such day is (i) less than 161 million (in the case of the first such notice) or (ii) thereafter more than 16 million less than the number of Shares included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice. Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Dealer and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, advisors, agents and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all losses (including losses relating to Dealer’s hedging activities as a consequence of becoming, or of the risk of becoming, a Section 16 “insider”, including without limitation, any forbearance from hedging activities or cessation of hedging activities and any losses in connection therewith with respect to this Transaction), claims, damages, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), joint or several, to which an Indemnified Person may become subject, as a result of Counterparty’s failure to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this paragraph, and to reimburse, within 30 days, upon written request, each of such Indemnified Persons for |
10
| any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing for, providing testimony or other evidence in connection with or defending any of the foregoing. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against the Indemnified Person as a result of Counterparty’s failure to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice in accordance with this paragraph, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Counterparty in writing, and Counterparty, upon request of the Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others Counterparty may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. Counterparty shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding contemplated by this paragraph that is effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, Counterparty agrees to indemnify any Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Counterparty shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding contemplated by this paragraph that is in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding on terms reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person. If the indemnification provided for in this paragraph is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then Counterparty hereunder, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities. The remedies provided for in this paragraph (b) are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Party at law or in equity. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this paragraph shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Transaction. |
| (c) | Regulation M; Counterparty Purchases. (i) Counterparty is not on the Trade Date engaged in a distribution, as such term is used in Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), of any securities of Counterparty, other than the distribution of the Convertible Notes. Counterparty shall not, until the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date, engage in any such distribution. | ||
| (ii) On the Trade Date, neither Counterparty nor any “affiliate” or “affiliated purchaser” (each as defined in Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act (“Rule 10b-18”)) shall directly or indirectly (including, without limitation, by means of any cash-settled or other derivative instrument other than the Transaction or any other substantially similar transactions that are entered into by Counterparty contemporaneously with the Transaction) 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 or exercisable for Shares. | |||
| (d) | No Manipulation. Counterparty is not entering into this Transaction to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or otherwise in violation of the Exchange Act. | ||
| (e) | Transfer or Assignment. (i) Counterparty shall have the right to transfer or assign its rights and obligations hereunder with respect to all, but not less than all, of the Options hereunder (such Options, the “Transfer Options”); provided that such transfer or |
11
| assignment shall be subject to reasonable conditions that Dealer may impose, including but not limited, to the following conditions: |
12
| (f) | Reserved. | ||
| (g) | Dividends. If at any time during the period from and including the Effective Date, to but excluding the Expiration Date, (i) an ex-dividend date for a regular quarterly cash dividend occurs with respect to the Shares (an “Ex-Dividend Date”), and that dividend is less than the Regular Dividend on a per Share basis or (ii) if no Ex-Dividend date for a regular quarterly cash dividend occurs with respect to the Shares in any quarterly dividend period of Counterparty, then the Calculation Agent will make a corresponding adjustment to any one or more of the Strike Price, Number of Options, Option Entitlement and/or any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment for the Transaction to preserve the fair value of the Options to Dealer after taking into |
13
| account such dividend or lack thereof. “Regular Dividend” shall mean USD 0.04 per Share per quarter. Upon any adjustment to the Initial Dividend Threshold (as defined in the Supplemental Indenture) for the Convertible Notes pursuant to Section 4.08(b) of the Supplemental Indenture, the Calculation Agent will make a corresponding adjustment to the Regular Dividend for the Transaction. |
| (h) | Additional Termination Events. | ||
| (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation if an event of default with respect to Counterparty shall occur under the terms of the Convertible Notes as set forth in Section 5.01 of the Supplemental Indenture or Section 7.01 of the Base Indenture (as modified by Section 5.01 of the Supplemental Indenture), which event of default results in acceleration of Counterparty’s payment obligation under the Convertible Notes pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, then (A) an Additional Termination Event shall be deemed to occur with respect to the Transaction, (B) Counterparty shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party and the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (C) Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement. | |||
| (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, if any Convertible Notes cease to be outstanding in accordance with their terms pursuant to Article 3 of the Supplemental Indenture, then an Additional Termination Event shall be deemed to occur and an Early Termination Date shall be deemed to have been designated pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement with respect to a portion of this Transaction corresponding to such Convertible Notes. In the event that such an Early Termination is deemed to have been designated with respect to a portion of this Transaction, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (A) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to this Transaction and a Number of Options equal to the number of such Convertible Notes, (B) Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (C) such terminated portion of this Transaction shall be the only Terminated Transaction. | |||
| (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, the giving of any Notice of Exercise shall constitute an Additional Termination Event hereunder with respect to the number, if any, of Exercisable Options specified in such Notice of Exercise as corresponding to a conversion of Convertible Notes pursuant to Section 4.07 of the Supplemental Indenture. Upon receipt of any such notice, Dealer shall designate an Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date, with respect to the portion of this Transaction corresponding to the number of such Exercisable Options so specified. Any payment hereunder with respect to such termination shall be calculated pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement; provided that for the purposes of such calculation, (A) Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (B) Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement, and (C) for the avoidance of doubt, in determining the amount payable pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement, the Calculation Agent, acting in a commercially reasonable manner, (i) shall take into account the time value of this Transaction to the Expiration Date and (ii) shall not take into account any adjustments to the Option Entitlement that result from corresponding adjustments to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 4.07 of the Supplemental Indenture; provided further that (A) in case of a partial termination, an Early Termination Date shall be designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to this Transaction and a Number of Options equal to the terminated portion and such Transaction shall be the only Terminated Transaction; (B) any amount payable by Dealer to Counterparty shall be satisfied solely by delivery by Dealer to Counterparty of cash in an amount calculated pursuant to Section 6 determined by the Calculation Agent in a commercially reasonable manner; and (C) the amount of cash deliverable in respect of such early termination by Dealer to Counterparty shall not be greater than the product of (x) the Applicable |
14
| Percentage and (y) the excess of (a) the Settlement Amount (as defined in the Supplemental Indenture) with respect to the corresponding Convertible Notes (including the Cash Make-Whole Premium (as defined in the Supplemental Indenture) resulting from any adjustment set forth in Section 4.07 of the Supplemental Indenture) over (b) the aggregate principal amount of the corresponding Convertible Notes, as determined by the Calculation Agent in a commercially reasonable manner. |
| (i) | Amendments to Equity Definitions. (i) 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 Dealer’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.” | ||
| (ii) Section 12.9(b)(i) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by (1) replacing “either party may elect” with “Dealer may elect” and (2) replacing “notice to the other party” with “notice to Counterparty” in the first sentence of such section. | |||
| (j) | Setoff. Neither party shall have the right to set off any obligation that it may have to the other party under this Transaction against any obligation such other party may have to it, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation or any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise. | ||
| (k) | Governing Law. New York law (without reference to choice of law doctrine). | ||
| (l) | Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Transaction. Each party (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of either party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of such a suit, action or proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other party have been induced to enter into this Transaction, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications provided herein. | ||
| (m) | Registration. Counterparty hereby agrees that if, in the good faith reasonable judgment of Dealer, the Shares (“Hedge Shares”) acquired by Dealer for the purpose of hedging its obligations pursuant to this Transaction cannot be sold in the public market by Dealer without registration under the Securities Act, Counterparty shall, at its election, either (i) in order to allow Dealer to sell the Hedge Shares in a registered offering, make available to Dealer an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and enter into an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Dealer, substantially in the form of an underwriting agreement for a registered secondary offering; provided, however, that if Dealer, in its sole reasonable discretion, is not satisfied with access to due diligence materials, the results of its due diligence investigation, or the procedures and documentation for the registered offering referred to above, then clause (ii) or clause (iii) of this paragraph shall apply at the election of Counterparty, (ii) in order to allow Dealer to sell the Hedge Shares in a private placement, enter into a private placement agreement substantially similar to private placement purchase agreements customary for private placements of equity securities, in form and substance satisfactory to Dealer (in which case, the Calculation Agent shall make any adjustments to the terms of this Transaction that are necessary, in its reasonable judgment, to compensate Dealer for any discount from the public market price of the Shares incurred on the sale of Hedge Shares in a private placement), or (iii) purchase the Hedge Shares from Dealer at the Reference Price on such Exchange Business Days, and in the amounts, requested by Dealer. | ||
| (n) | Tax Disclosure. Effective from the date of commencement of discussions concerning the Transaction, Counterparty and each of its employees, representatives, or other agents may |

Dealer may postpone, in whole or in part, any Settlement Date or any other date of valuation or payment by Dealer or add additional Settlement Dates or any other date of valuation or payment, with respect to some or all of the Options hereunder, if Dealer reasonably determines, in its discretion, that such extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable Dealer to effect purchases or sales of Shares in connection with its hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in a manner that would, if Dealer were Counterparty or an agent of Counterparty, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer. | ||
