iROBOT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. Description of Business
iRobot Corporation ("iRobot" or the "Company") designs and builds robots that empower people to do more. iRobot's consumer robots help people find smarter ways to clean and accomplish more in their daily lives. The Company's portfolio of floor cleaning robots features proprietary technologies for the connected home and advanced concepts in cleaning, robot-based artificial intelligence, mapping and navigation, machine vision, home understanding, human-robot interaction and physical solutions. Leveraging this portfolio, the Company's engineers are building an ecosystem of robots to help realize the smart home's potential. The Company’s revenue is primarily generated from product sales through a variety of distribution channels, including chain stores and other national retailers, through the Company's own website and app, dedicated e-commerce websites, the online arms of traditional retailers and through value-added distributors and resellers worldwide.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Foreign Currency Translation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include those of iRobot and its subsidiaries, after elimination of all intercompany balances and transactions. iRobot has prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").
In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been made to state fairly the Company's financial position. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year or any future periods. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 16, 2021.
The Company operates and reports using a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to December 31. Accordingly, the Company’s fiscal quarters end on the Saturday that falls closest to the last day of the third month of each quarter.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2019-12, "Income Taxes - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes." The ASU simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles as well as clarifying and amending existing guidance to improve consistent application. The amendments to this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. Depending on the amendment, adoption may be applied on the retrospective, modified retrospective or prospective basis. The Company adopted the standard in the first quarter of 2021 and the adoption had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by FASB that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and revenue and expenses. These estimates and judgments include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, including performance obligations, variable consideration and other obligations such as product returns and incentives; allowance for credit losses; product warranties; valuation of goodwill and acquired intangible assets; valuation of non-marketable equity investments; evaluating loss contingencies; accounting for stock-based compensation including performance-based assessments; and accounting for income taxes and related valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience, market participant fair value considerations, projected future cash flows, current conditions, including estimated economic implications of the COVID-19 pandemic and various other factors that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. While there was not a material change to the consolidated financial statements related to these estimates as of and for the nine months ended October 2, 2021, the Company's future assessment of the magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as other factors, could result in material impacts to the Company's consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods.The extent and continued impact of COVID-19 has been taken into account by management in making the significant assumptions and estimates related to the above. Actual results may differ from the Company’s estimates.

iROBOT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (continued)

Credit Losses
The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through sales of its products. The Company assesses each customer's ability to pay by conducting a credit review which includes consideration of established credit ratings or an internal assessment of the customer's creditworthiness based on an analysis of their financial information when a credit rating is not available. The Company monitors the credit exposure through active review of customer balances. The Company's expected loss methodology for accounts receivable is developed through consideration of factors including, but not limited to, historical collection experience, current customer credit ratings, current and future economic and market conditions and age of the receivable. Although the Company historically has not experienced significant credit losses as it relates to trade accounts receivable, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused uncertainty in some customer accounts. The Company did not have an adjustment to its estimate of credit losses during the three months ended October 2, 2021. The Company recorded a decrease to the reserve and bad debt expense of $2.1 million during the nine months ended October 2, 2021. As of October 2, 2021 and January 2, 2021, the Company had an allowance for credit losses of $2.7 million and $4.8 million, respectively.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost being determined using the first-in, first-out method. The Company writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence or excess inventory based upon assumptions around market conditions and estimates of future demand. Adjustments to reduce inventory to net realizable value are recognized in cost of revenue and have not been significant for the periods presented. Inventory primarily consists of finished goods at October 2, 2021 and January 2, 2021.
Strategic Investments
The Company holds non-marketable equity securities as part of its strategic investments portfolio. The Company classifies the majority of these securities as equity securities without readily determinable fair values and measures these investments at cost, less any impairment, adjusted for observable price changes. These investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs or data in an inactive market and the valuation requires the Company's judgment due to the absence of market prices and inherent lack of liquidity. The estimated fair value is based on quantitative and qualitative factors including, but not limited to, subsequent financing activities by the investee and projected discounted cash flows. At October 2, 2021 and January 2, 2021, the Company's equity securities without readily determinable fair values totaled $15.1 million and $17.4 million, respectively, and are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.
On July 1, 2020, Teladoc Health, Inc. ("Teladoc") closed on its previously announced acquisition of InTouch Health, of which the Company held non-marketable equity securities. In exchange for its shares of InTouch Health, the Company received 0.2 million shares of Teladoc and recorded a gain of $38.6 million to other income, net during the second quarter of 2020. The Teladoc shares received were subject to time based contractual sales restrictions which expired in January 2021. These shares were accounted for as marketable equity securities and measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in other income, net at the end of each reporting period. As a result, the Company entered into an economic hedge in July 2020 to reduce the Company's exposure to stock price fluctuations during the restricted period. During the first quarter of 2021, the Company received net proceeds of $51.5 million related to the sale of Teladoc shares with gross proceeds of $60.1 million, net of settlement payment of $8.6 million for the related economic hedge.
On July 22, 2021, Matterport, Inc. ("Matterport"), of which the Company held non-marketable equity securities, completed a merger with a special purpose acquisition company and began trading on Nasdaq under the symbol "MTTR." Prior to the merger, the Company accounted for the shares in Matterport as equity securities without readily determinable fair value. Upon consummation of the merger, the Company received 1.6 million shares of MTTR and recorded a gain of $20.3 million to other income, net. The post merger Matterport shares received are subject to time based contractual sales restrictions which expire in January 2022. These shares are accounted for as marketable equity securities and measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in other income, net at the end of each reporting period. During the three months ended October 2, 2021, the Company recorded gains of $6.7 million associated with marking the shares to fair value. As of October 2, 2021, the shares in MTTR were valued at $29.8 million and are recorded in short term investments on the consolidated balance sheet.
Net Income Per Share
Basic income per share is calculated using the Company's weighted-average outstanding common shares. Diluted income
per share is calculated using the Company's weighted-average outstanding common shares including the dilutive effect of stock
awards as determined under the treasury stock method.

Employee stock awards representing approximately 0.2 million and 0.1 million shares of common stock for the three months ended October 2, 2021 and September 26, 2020, and approximately 0.1 million and 0.2 million shares of common stock for the nine months ended October 2, 2021 and September 26, 2020, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would have been antidilutive.

3. Revenue Recognition
The Company primarily derives its revenue from the sale of consumer robots and accessories. The Company sells products directly to consumers through online stores and indirectly through resellers and distributors. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers, generally as title and risk of loss pass, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services. Revenue is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur and when collection is considered probable. Taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities, are excluded from revenue. Shipping and handling expenses are considered fulfillment activities and are expensed as incurred.
The Company’s consumer robots are highly dependent on, and interrelated with, the embedded software and cannot function without the software. As such, the consumer robots are accounted for as a single performance obligation, and the revenue is recognized at a point in time when the control is transferred to distributors, resellers or directly to end customers through online stores. For certain consumer robots with Wi-Fi capability ("connected robots"), each sale represents an arrangement with multiple promises consisting of the robot, downloadable free app, cloud services and potential future unspecified software upgrades. The Company has determined that the app, cloud services and potential future unspecified software upgrades represent one promised service to the customer to enhance the functionality and interaction with the robot (referred to collectively as "Cloud Services").
For contracts that contain multiple performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price ("SSP"). The Company estimates SSP for items that are not sold separately, using market data if available or analysis of the cost of providing the products or services plus a reasonable margin. The transaction price allocated to the robots is recognized as revenue at a point in time when control is transferred and when collection is considered probable. The transaction price allocated to the Cloud Services is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated term of the Cloud Services. For contracts with a duration of greater than one year, the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied as of October 2, 2021 and January 2, 2021 was $17.8 million and $11.5 million, respectively. The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less.
The Company’s products generally carry a one-year or two-year limited warranty that promises customers that delivered products are as specified. The Company does not consider these assurance-type warranties as a separate performance obligation and therefore, the Company accounts for such warranties under ASC 460, "Guarantees." During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company began offering its customers the option to purchase an extended warranty for a fee. Amounts paid for the extended warranty plans are deferred and recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the service period.
The Company provides limited rights of returns for direct-to-consumer sales generated through its online stores and certain resellers and distributors. The Company records an allowance for product returns based on specific terms and conditions included in the customer agreements or based on historical experience and the Company's expectation of future returns. In addition, the Company may provide other credits or incentives which are accounted for as variable consideration when estimating the amount of revenue to recognize. Where appropriate, these estimates take into consideration relevant factors such as the Company’s historical experience, current contractual requirements, specific known market events and forecasted inventory level in the channels. Overall, these reserves reflect the Company’s best estimates, and the actual amounts of
11

iROBOT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (continued)
consideration ultimately received may differ from the Company’s estimates. Returns and credits are estimated at the time of sale and updated at the end of each reporting period as additional information becomes available. As of October 2, 2021, the Company has reserves for product returns of $54.9 million and other credits and incentives of $75.3 million. As of January 2, 2021, the Company had reserves for product returns of $64.3 million and other credits and incentives of $142.2 million. Revenue recognized during the three and nine months ended October 2, 2021 and September 26, 2020 related to performance obligations satisfied in a prior period was not material.
Disaggregation of Revenue

October 2, 2021January 2, 2021
Accounts receivable, net$240,722 $170,526 
Contract liabilities21,001 17,700 
The Company invoices customers based upon contractual billing schedules, and accounts receivable are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. Contract liabilities include deferred revenue associated with the Cloud Services and extended warranty plans as well as prepayments received from customers in advance of product shipments. The change in the opening and closing balances of the Company’s contract assets and contract liabilities primarily results from the timing difference between the Company’s performance and the customer’s payment. During the three months ended October 2, 2021 and September 26, 2020, the Company recognized $6.6 million and $1.8 million, respectively, of the contract liability balance as revenue upon transfer of the products or services to customers. During the nine months ended October 2, 2021 and September 26, 2020, the Company recognized $10.5 million and $4.6 million, respectively, of the contract liability balance as revenue upon transfer of the products or services to customers.

4. Leases
The Company's leasing arrangements primarily consist of operating leases for its facilities which include corporate, sales and marketing and research and development offices and equipment under various non-cancelable lease arrangements. For leases with terms greater than 12 months, the Company records the related right-of-use asset and lease obligation at the present value of lease payments over the term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company's leases typically include rental escalation clauses, renewal options and/or termination options that are factored into the determination of lease payments when appropriate. The Company does not separate lease and nonlease components of contracts and excludes all variable lease payments from the measurement of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The Company's variable lease payments generally include usage based nonlease components. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants.
The Company's existing leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, the Company estimates its incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments. At October 2, 2021, the Company's weighted average discount rate was 3.58%, while the weighted average remaining lease term was 7.79 years.

7. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company operates internationally and, in the normal course of business, is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The foreign currency exposures typically arise from transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the Company's operations, primarily the British Pound, Canadian Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen. The Company uses derivative instruments that are designated in cash flow hedge relationships to reduce or eliminate the effects of foreign exchange rate change on sales. These contracts typically have maturities of three years or less. At October 2, 2021 and January 2, 2021, the Company had outstanding cash flow hedges with a total notional value of $381.5 million and $431.9 million, respectively.
The Company also enters into economic hedges that are not designated as hedges from an accounting standpoint to reduce or eliminate the effects of foreign exchange rate changes typically related to short term trade receivables and payables. These contracts typically have maturities of twelve months or less. At October 2, 2021 and January 2, 2021, the Company had outstanding foreign currency economic hedges with a total notional value of $299.1 million and $192.2 million, respectively.
As described in Note 2, during July 2020, the Company entered into a forward sale contract as an economic hedge to reduce the Company's exposure to stock price fluctuations on one of its marketable equity securities. The contract had a maturity date of January 2021 and was settled during the first quarter of 2021. The total notional value of this economic hedge was $51.5 million at January 2, 2021.

9. Stockholders' Equity
Share Repurchase Activity
The Company's Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program authorizing up to $200.0 million in share repurchases from time to time until September 5, 2021 which was extended until March 31, 2022. As of October 2, 2021, $25.0 million remained available for further repurchase under the program.
On August 2, 2021, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase ("ASR") agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association ("Wells Fargo"), under which the Company paid $100.0 million and received an aggregate initial share delivery of 943,285 shares of its common stock, which were immediately retired. In September 2021, Wells Fargo delivered an additional 254,933 shares of the Company's common stock to complete settlement of the ASR agreement. Under this agreement, the Company repurchased a total of 1,198,218 shares of its common stock at an average price of $83.46, totaling $100.0 million during the three months ended October 2, 2021. The final number of shares repurchased was based on the volume-weighted average price of its common stock over the duration of the ASR agreement, less a discount.
On March 11, 2021, the Company entered into a Rule 10b5-1 plan to repurchase $50.0 million of common stock and the Company repurchased 446,954 shares of its common stock at an average price of $111.85, totaling $50.0 million during the second quarter of 2021.
On March 10, 2020, the Company entered into a Rule 10b5-1 plan to repurchase $25.0 million of common stock and the Company repurchased 663,602 shares of its common stock at an average price of $37.65, totaling $25.0 million in March 2020.

10. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
From time to time and in the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to various claims, charges and litigation. The outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty and some lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be disposed of unfavorably to us, which could materially affect our financial condition or results of operations.
Guarantees and Indemnification Obligations
The Company enters into standard indemnification agreements in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company indemnifies and agrees to reimburse the indemnified party for losses incurred by the indemnified party, generally the Company’s customers, in connection with any patent, copyright, trade secret or other proprietary right infringement claim by any third party. The term of these indemnification agreements is generally perpetual any time after execution of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. The Company has never incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. As a result, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these agreements is minimal.

11. Income Taxes
The Company recorded an income tax expense of $9.9 million and $30.0 million for the three months ended October 2, 2021 and September 26, 2020, respectively. The $9.9 million income tax expense for the three months ended October 2, 2021 resulted in an effective income tax rate of  14.7%. The $30.0 million income tax expense for the three months ended September 26, 2020 resulted in an effective tax rate of 24.3%. The decrease in the effective income tax rate was primarily due to the greater impact of tax benefits, such as the research and development tax credit, on a lower pretax income base.
The Company's 14.7% effective rate of income tax expense for the three months ended October 2, 2021 was lower than the federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily because of the impact of tax benefit from foreign derived intangible income ("FDII") and research and development tax credits.
The Company recorded an income tax expense of $8.1 million and $39.2 million for the nine months ended October 2, 2021 and September 26, 2020, respectively. The $8.1 million income tax expense for the nine months ended October 2, 2021 resulted in an effective tax rate of 11.5%.  The $39.2 million income tax expense for the nine months ended September 26, 2020 resulted in an effective tax rate of 22.6%. The decrease in the effective income tax rate was primarily due to the recognition of discrete tax benefits related to stock-based compensation as well as the greater impact of tax benefits, such as the research and development income credit, on a lower pretax income base.
The Company's effective income tax rate of 11.5% for the nine months ended October 2, 2021 differed from the federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to the recognition of discrete tax benefits related to stock-based compensation as well as the impact of tax benefits from FDII and research and development tax credits.
12. Industry Segment, Geographic Information and Significant Customers
The Company operates as one operating segment. The Company's consumer robots products are offered to consumers through a variety of distribution channels, including chain stores and other national retailers, through the Company's own website and app, dedicated e-commerce websites, the online arms of traditional retailers, and through value-added distributors and resellers worldwide.

Overview
iRobot is a leading global consumer robot company that designs and builds robots that empower people to do more. Our consumer robots help people find smarter ways to clean and accomplish more in their daily lives. iRobot's portfolio of floor cleaning robots features proprietary technologies for the connected home and advanced concepts in cleaning, robot-based artificial intelligence, mapping and navigation, machine vision, home understanding, human-robot interaction and physical solutions. Leveraging this portfolio, our engineers are building an ecosystem of robots to help realize the smart home’s potential. For more than 30 years, we have been a pioneer and leader in consumer robotics, robotic floor care and robotic artificial intelligence.
As of October 2, 2021, we had 1,343 full-time employees. Since our founding in 1990, we have developed expertise in the disciplines necessary to design, build, sell and support durable, high-performance and cost-effective robots through the close integration of software, electronics and hardware. Our core technologies serve as reusable building blocks that we adapt and expand to create next-generation robotic platforms. We believe that this approach accelerates the time to market, while also reducing the costs and risks associated with product development. These capabilities are amplified by the integration of a range of software-centric capabilities spanning artificial intelligence, home understanding and machine vision technologies that further improve cleaning performance and help personalize the cleaning experience, enabling customers to have greater control over where, when and how our robots clean. We believe that our significant expertise in robot design, engineering, and smart home technologies and targeted focus on understanding and addressing consumer needs, positions us well to capitalize on the anticipated growth in the market for robot-based consumer products.
From September 2018 until April 2020, our Roomba products were subject to Section 301 tariffs. In April 2020, we were granted a temporary exclusion from Section 301 List 3 tariffs by the United States Trade Representative ("USTR"). This exclusion, as extended in August 2020, eliminated the 25% tariff on Roomba products imported from China until December 31, 2020 and entitled us to a refund of approximately $57.0 million in tariffs paid since the date the Section 301 List 3 tariffs were imposed. Effective January 1, 2021, the 25% Section 301 tariff again applies to our Roomba products imported from China. For the three and nine months ended October 2, 2021, the incremental Section 301 tariff cost was $14.1 million and $29.2 million, respectively. We expect this incremental cost will continue to impact our gross profit for the remainder of fiscal 2021. To diversify our manufacturing and help offset the adverse financial impact on our business of the 25% Section 301 tariff, we are focused on scaling the manufacture of our products in Malaysia. We commenced production of our products in Malaysia in late 2019 and we remain on track to have Malaysia manufacturing at scale by the end of 2021.
To continue expanding our business globally and increase our profitability in a highly competitive marketplace, we have continued to make progress on each key element of our strategy: 1) differentiating the iRobot experience; 2) building strong relationships with the consumer; and 3) nurturing the lifetime value of our customer relationships.
We strive to differentiate the iRobot experience through the ongoing innovation of our existing product offerings and by bringing new products and services to market. During the first quarter of 2021, we enhanced the iRobot Genius Home Intelligence Platform ("Genius"), a powerful AI-based robot platform that gives users greater personalization and control over their cleaning robots. In September 2021, we introduced the latest upgrade to the Genius platform and launched our Roomba j7 Series robots featuring PrecisionVision Navigation technology in the U.S. and EMEA. Roomba j7 Series robots, powered by
18



Genius, learn how to navigate the home, understand the owner's cleaning preferences and even recognize and avoid specific objects. The Roomba j7 Series with Genius provides greater levels of personalization, object detection and avoidance, new home automations and the ability to get smarter over time as it learns the home environment through the AI capabilities within Genius and receives over-the-air updates, allowing the robot to deliver a more intuitive cleaning experience.
To continue building strong relationships with our consumers worldwide, we are focused on enhancing all aspects of the consumer experience, including investing in our digital marketing and e-commerce capabilities. At the end of the third quarter of 2021, our connected customer base grew 60% from the same period one year ago to 12.5 million customers who have opted in to our digital communications.
We also continued to make important progress in nurturing the lifetime value of our customer relationships. In early April 2021, we introduced our new iRobot H1 handheld vacuum, enabling customers to purchase a complementary vacuum to clean in areas that our Roomba or Braava robots are typically unable to reach. In addition, we are now offering extended warranty plans to customers who purchase our products directly from us. During the third quarter of 2021, the Roomba j7+ joined the Roomba i7+ as one of two Roomba robots available for customers to choose when they join iRobot Select, a subscription-based membership program in which members may pay an initiation fee and a recurring monthly fee to use their robot along with dedicated customer support, automatic accessory replacement services, premium protection services and eligibility for robot upgrades every three years. Since the start of the pandemic over 18 months ago, more consumers are buying our products online. Our direct-to-consumer, or DTC, sales were $39.7 million and $119.7 million, 9.0% and 10.8% of total revenue, for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2021, respectively. DTC sales grew 13.0% and 45.2% during the three and nine months ended October 2, 2021, respectively, compared to the same periods a year ago. We continue to invest in initiatives aimed at increasing the frequency and range of products, services and accessories that customers purchase directly from us.
In addition to the pandemic's positive impact on accelerating demand for a wide range of consumer products including ours, it has also stressed the global supply chain involved in manufacturing these products. More specifically, semiconductor chip suppliers have been unable to keep pace with demand, the cost of raw materials such as resins has risen meaningfully along with oceanic transport and air freight costs. In addition to higher costs, it is also taking longer to transport products, regardless of the mode of transportation. We are taking a range of actions to manage through these supply chain challenges, from entering into longer-term supply agreements, qualifying new suppliers and leveraging our relationships with our contract manufacturers to efficiently export our products. During the third quarter of 2021, ocean transportation and air freight costs rose even higher than anticipated. We expect the higher transportation costs to remain elevated through at least the first three quarters of next year. We will continue to assess and implement measures to mitigate resulting adverse impacts on our operations and financial results.

Key Financial Metrics
In addition to the measures presented in our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), we use the following key metrics, including non-GAAP financial measures, to evaluate and analyze our core operating performance and trends, and to develop short-term and long-term operational plans. A summary of key metrics for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2021, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020, is as follows:

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Our non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments based on the following items. We exclude these items from our non-GAAP measures to facilitate an evaluation of our current operating performance and comparisons to our past operating performance. These items may vary significantly in magnitude or timing and do not necessarily reflect anticipated future operating activities. In addition, we believe that providing these non-GAAP measures affords investors a view of our operating results that may be more easily compared with our peer companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations from these results, provided below, should be carefully evaluated.
Amortization of acquired intangible assets: Amortization of acquired intangible assets consists of amortization of intangible assets including completed technology, customer relationships, and reacquired distribution rights acquired in connection with business combinations. Amortization charges for our acquisition-related intangible assets are inconsistent in size and are significantly impacted by the timing and valuation of our acquisitions.
Tariff Refunds: iRobot was granted a Section 301 List 3 Tariff Exclusion in April 2020, which temporarily eliminated tariffs on the Company’s products imported from China until December 31, 2020 and entitled the Company to a refund of all related tariffs previously paid since September 2018. We exclude the refunds for tariff costs expensed during fiscals 2018 and 2019 from our fiscal 2020 non-GAAP measures because those tariff refunds associated with tariff costs incurred in the past have no impact to our current period earnings.
Net Merger, Acquisition and Divestiture (Income) Expense: Net merger, acquisition and divestiture (income) expense primarily consists of transaction fees, professional fees, and transition and integration costs directly associated with mergers, acquisitions and divestitures. It also includes business combination adjustments after the measurement period has ended.
Stock-Based Compensation: Stock-based compensation is a non-cash charge relating to stock-based awards.
IP Litigation Expense, Net: IP litigation expense, net relates to legal costs incurred to litigate patent, trademark, copyright and false advertising infringements, or to oppose or defend against interparty actions related to intellectual property. Any settlement payment or proceeds resulting from these infringements are included or netted against the costs.
Gain/Loss on Strategic Investments: Gain/loss on strategic investments includes fair value adjustments, realized gains and losses on the sales of these investments and losses on the impairment of these investments.
Restructuring and Other: Restructuring charges are related to one-time actions associated with workforce reductions, including severance costs, certain professional fees and other costs directly associated with resource realignments tied to strategic initiatives or changes in business conditions.
20



Income tax adjustments: Income tax adjustments include the tax effect of the non-GAAP adjustments, calculated using the appropriate statutory tax rate for each adjustment. We reassess the need for any valuation allowance recorded based on the non-GAAP profitability and have eliminated the effect of the valuation allowance recorded in the U.S. jurisdiction. We also exclude certain tax items, including impact from stock-based compensation windfalls/shortfalls, that are not reflective of income tax expense incurred as a result of current period earnings.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses. These estimates and judgments, include but are not limited to, revenue recognition including performance obligations, variable consideration and other obligations such as product returns and incentives; allowance for credit losses; product warranties; valuation of goodwill and acquired intangible assets; valuation of non-marketable equity investments; evaluating loss contingencies; accounting for stock-based compensation including performance-based assessments; and accounting for income taxes and related valuation allowances. We base these estimates and judgments on historical experience, market participant fair value considerations,
21



projected future cash flows and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from our estimates. Additional information about these critical accounting policies may be found in the "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" section included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2021.

Revenue for the three months ended October 2, 2021 increased $27.5 million to $440.7 million, or 6.7%, from $413.1 million for the three months ended September 26, 2020. The $27.5 million increase in revenue was partially driven by 14.4% growth in sales of our mid and premium tier floor cleaning robots, which contributed to a 3.2% increase in gross average selling price for the three months ended October 2, 2021 compared to the three months ended September 26, 2020. In the three months ended October 2, 2021, international revenue increased $17.3 million, or 8.3%, which primarily reflected 15.4% growth in EMEA and a 2.0% increase in Japan, while domestic revenue increased $10.3 million, or 5.0%. Our DTC revenue growth of 13.0% to $39.7 million, or 9.0% of total revenue, reflected continued expansion of this channel as we invested in enhancing the online buying experience and upgrading our digital marketing capabilities.
Revenue for the nine months ended October 2, 2021 increased $224.0 million to $1,109.5 million, or 25.3%, compared to $885.6 million for the nine months ended September 26, 2020. The $224.0 million increase in revenue was primarily attributable to a 19.5% increase in units shipped and a 3.5% increase in gross average selling price for the nine months ended October 2, 2021 compared to the nine months ended September 26, 2020. The increase in gross average selling price was primarily driven by a 33.7% growth in sales of our mid and premium tier floor cleaning robots. In the nine months ended October 2, 2021, international revenue increased $124.2 million, or 27.2% due primarily to 34.8% growth in EMEA and a 13.5% increase in Japan, while domestic revenue increased $99.7 million, or 23.3%. Our DTC revenue growth of 45.2% to $119.7 million, or 10.8% of total revenue, contributed to these increases.

The $63.6 million increase in cost of product revenue is due to the 6.7% increase in revenue. In addition, cost of product revenue during the three months ended October 2, 2021 included $14.1 million in tariff costs, whereas last year, we did not have any tariff costs as we were granted temporary exclusion from Section 301 List 3 tariffs. The increase in cost of product revenue was also impacted by higher warranty costs and global supply chain challenges associated with increased oceanic transport and air freight expenses and higher raw materials and component costs associated with limited semiconductor chip availability.

Gross margin decreased to 36.9% in the three months ended October 2, 2021, compared to 48.1% in the three months ended September 26, 2020. Gross margin decreased 11.2% driven by Section 301 List 3 tariff costs of $14.1 million included in the three months ended October 2, 2021 compared to no tariff costs during the same period last year. The remainder of the decrease in gross margin was driven by supply chain headwinds with increases in freight and material costs, pricing and promotional activity and higher warranty expense. We expect gross margin pressure to continue over the next few quarters as we anticipate continued elevated costs associated with increased raw materials, oceanic transport and air freight expenses as well as higher component costs associated with limited semiconductor chip availability.

We recorded an income tax expense of $9.9 million and $30.0 million for the three months ended October 2, 2021 and September 26, 2020, respectively. The $9.9 million income tax expense for the three months ended October 2, 2021 resulted in an effective income tax rate of 14.7%. The $30.0 million income tax expense for the three months ended September 26, 2020 resulted in an effective income tax rate of 24.3%. The decrease in effective tax rate was primarily due to the greater impact of tax benefits, such as the research and development tax credit, on a lower pretax income base.

Our 14.7% effective rate of income tax expense for the three months ended October 2, 2021 was lower than the federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily because of the impact of tax benefits from foreign derived intangible income ("FDII") and research and development tax credits.
We recorded an income tax expense of $8.1 million and $39.2 million for the nine months ended October 2, 2021 and September 26, 2020, respectively. The $8.1 million income tax expense for the nine months ended October 2, 2021 resulted in an effective income tax rate of 11.5%. The $39.2 million income tax expense for the nine months ended September 26, 2020 resulted in an effective income tax rate of 22.6%. The decrease in the effective income tax rate was primarily due to the recognition of discrete tax benefits related to stock-based compensation as well as the greater impact of tax benefits, such as the research and development income credit, on a lower pretax income base.
Our effective income tax rate of 11.5% for the nine months ended October 2, 2021 differed from the federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to the recognition of a discrete tax benefits related to stock-based compensation as well as the impact of tax benefits from FDII and research and development tax credits.
The effective tax rate for interim periods is determined based upon our estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for the effect of discrete items arising in that quarter. The impact of such inclusions could result in a higher or lower effective tax rate during a quarter, based upon the geographic mix and timing of our actual earnings or losses versus annual projections.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
At October 2, 2021, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents totaling $218.0 million. Our working capital was $487.3 million as of October 2, 2021, compared to $573.7 million as of January 2, 2021.
We manufacture and distribute our products through contract manufacturers and third-party logistics providers. We believe this approach gives us the advantages of relatively low capital investment and significant flexibility in scheduling production and managing inventory levels. By leasing our office facilities, we also minimize the cash needed for expansion, although we invest periodically in upgrading these facilities, a portion of which investment will be reimbursed by the landlords of these facilities. Accordingly, our capital spending is generally limited to machinery and tooling, leasehold improvements, business applications software and computer and equipment. In the three months ended October 2, 2021 and September 26, 2020, we spent $25.3 million and $25.0 million, respectively, on capital expenditures.
Our strategy for delivering consumer products to our distributors and retail customers gives us the flexibility to provide container shipments directly from our contract manufacturers in Southern China and Malaysia to our customers and, alternatively, allows our distributors and certain retail customers to take possession of product on a domestic basis. Accordingly, our inventory consists of goods shipped to our third-party logistics providers for the fulfillment of distributor, retail and direct-to-consumer sales. Our contract manufacturers are also responsible for purchasing and stocking components required for the production of our products, and they typically invoice us when the finished goods are shipped.
Cash used in operating activities
Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended October 2, 2021 was $90.8 million, of which the principal components were the cash outflow of $162.2 million from change in working capital, partially offset by our net income of $61.9 million and non-cash charges of $9.6 million. The change in working capital was driven by increases in inventory of $174.0 million and accounts receivable of $71.4 million. This was partially offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $89.0 million.
Cash provided by investing activities
Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended October 2, 2021 was $29.0 million. During the nine months ended October 2, 2021, we received $64.0 million from the sales and maturities of our investments while we paid $9.6 million for the purchases of investments. We invested $25.3 million in the purchase of property and equipment, including machinery and tooling for new products and manufacturing expansion in Malaysia.
Cash used in financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended October 2, 2021 was $150.0 million, which primarily reflects the repurchase of 1,198,218 shares of our common stock for $100.0 million under an accelerated share repurchase agreement during the three months ended October 2, 2021, and the repurchase of 446,954 shares of our common stock for $50.0 million under the stock repurchase program during the second quarter of 2021.

Working Capital Facilities
Credit Facility
In June 2018, we entered into a new agreement with Bank of America, N.A., increasing the amount of our unsecured revolving line of credit from $75.0 million to $150.0 million and extending the term of the credit facility to June 2023. As of October 2, 2021, we had no outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility. The revolving line of credit is available to fund working capital and other corporate purposes. The interest on loans under our credit facility accrues, at our election, at either (1) LIBOR plus a margin, currently equal to 1.0%, based on our ratio of indebtedness to Adjusted EBITDA (the "Eurodollar Rate"), or (2) the lender’s base rate. The lender’s base rate is equal to the highest of (1) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (2) the lender’s prime rate and (3) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.0%. In the event that LIBOR is discontinued as expected in 2023, we expect the interest rates for our debt following such event will be based on either alternate base rates or agreed upon replacement rates. While we do not expect a LIBOR discontinuation would affect our ability to borrow or maintain already outstanding borrowings, it could result in higher interest rates.
The credit facility contains customary terms and conditions for credit facilities of this type, including restrictions on our ability to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, create liens, enter into transactions with affiliates, make loans or investments, sell assets, pay dividends or make distributions on, or repurchase, our stock, and consolidate or merge with other entities. In addition, we are required to meet certain financial covenants customary with this type of agreement, including maintaining a maximum ratio of indebtedness to Adjusted EBITDA and a minimum specified interest coverage ratio.
The credit facility contains customary events of default, including for payment defaults, breaches of representations, breaches of affirmative or negative covenants, cross defaults to other material indebtedness, bankruptcy and failure to discharge certain judgments. If a default occurs and is not cured within any applicable cure period or is not waived, our obligations under the credit facility may be accelerated.
As of October 2, 2021, we were in compliance with all covenants under the revolving credit facility.
Lines of Credit
We have an unsecured letter of credit facility with Bank of America, N.A., available to fund letters of credit up to an aggregate outstanding amount of $5.0 million. As of October 2, 2021, we had letters of credit outstanding of $0.7 million under our letter of credit facility and other lines of credit with Bank of America, N.A.
We have an unsecured guarantee line of credit with Mizuho, Bank Ltd., available to fund import tax payments up to an aggregate outstanding amount of 250.0 million Japanese Yen. As of October 2, 2021, we had no outstanding balance under the guarantee line of credit. 
Working Capital and Capital Expenditure Needs
We currently have no material cash commitments, except for normal recurring trade payables, expense accruals, capital expenditures and operating leases, all of which we anticipate funding through working capital and funds provided by operating activities. We believe our outsourced approach to manufacturing provides us with flexibility in both managing inventory levels and financing our inventory. We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and funds available through our credit facility will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs over at least the next twelve months. In the event our revenue plan does not meet our expectations, we may eliminate or curtail expenditures to mitigate the impact on our working capital. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth or decline, the expansion or contraction of our marketing and sales activities, the timing and extent of spending to support product development efforts, the timing of introductions of new products and enhancements to existing products, the acquisition of new capabilities or technologies, the continuing market acceptance of our products and services, and the impact of COVID-19 on our business. Moreover, to the extent existing cash and cash equivalents, cash from operations, and cash from short-term borrowing are insufficient to fund our future activities, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt financing. As part of our business strategy, we may consider additional acquisitions of companies, technologies and products, which could also require us to seek additional equity or debt financing. Additional funds may not be available on terms favorable to us or at all.

Share Repurchases
Our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program authorizing up to $200.0 million in share repurchases from time to time until September 5, 2021 which was extended until March 31, 2022. As of October 2, 2021, $25.0 million remained available for further repurchase under the program.
On August 2, 2021, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase ("ASR") agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association ("Wells Fargo"), under which we paid $100.0 million and received an aggregate initial share delivery of 943,285 shares of our common stock, which were immediately retired. In September 2021, Wells Fargo delivered an additional 254,933 shares of our common stock to complete settlement of the ASR agreement. Under this agreement, we repurchased a total of 1,198,218 shares of our common stock at an average price of $83.46, totaling $100.0 million during the three months ended October 2, 2021. The final number of shares repurchased was based on the volume-weighted average price of our common stock over the duration of the ASR agreement, less a discount.
Contractual Obligations
The disclosure of our contractual obligations and commitments is set forth under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Contractual Obligations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2021. Our principal commitments generally consist of obligations under our credit facility, leases for office space and minimum contractual obligations. Other obligations primarily consist of subscription services. There have been no material changes in our contractual obligations and commitments since January 2, 2021.
At October 2, 2021, we had outstanding purchase orders aggregating approximately $494.8 million. The purchase orders, the majority of which are with our contract manufacturers for the purchase of inventory in the normal course of business, are for manufacturing and non-manufacturing related goods and services, and are generally cancellable without penalty. In circumstances where we have determined that we have financial exposure associated with any of these commitments, we record a liability in the period in which that exposure is identified.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of October 2, 2021, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
Exchange Rate Sensitivity
Our international revenue and expenses are denominated in multiple currencies, including British Pounds, Canadian Dollars, Chinese Renminbi, Euros and Japanese Yen. As such, we have exposure to adverse changes in exchange rates associated with the revenue and operating expenses of our foreign operations. Any fluctuations in other currencies will have minimal direct impact on our international revenue.
In addition to international business conducted in foreign currencies, we have international revenue denominated in U.S. dollars. As the U.S. dollar strengthens or weakens against other currencies, our international distributors may be impacted, which could affect their profitability and our ability to maintain current pricing levels on our international consumer products.
We regularly monitor the forecast of non-U.S. dollar revenue and expenses and the level of non-U.S. dollar monetary asset and liability balances to determine if any actions, including possibly entering into foreign currency contracts should be taken to minimize the impact of fluctuating exchange rates on our results of operations. Periodically, we enter into forward exchange contracts to hedge against foreign currency fluctuations. These contracts may or may not be designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. We use cash flow hedges primarily to reduce the effects of foreign exchange rate changes on sales in Euros and Japanese Yen. At October 2, 2021 and January 2, 2021, we had outstanding cash flow hedges with a total notional value of $381.5 million and $431.9 million, respectively.
We also enter into economic hedges that are not designated as hedges from an accounting standpoint to reduce or eliminate the effects of foreign exchange rate changes typically related to short term trade receivables and payables. These contracts have maturities of twelve months or less. At October 2, 2021 and January 2, 2021, we had outstanding economic hedges with a total notional value of $299.1 million and $192.2 million, respectively.
At October 2, 2021, assuming all other variables are constant, if the U.S. Dollar weakened or strengthened by 10%, the fair market value of our foreign currency contracts would increase or decrease by approximately $42.1 million.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective at a reasonable assurance level in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms; and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely discussions regarding required disclosure. We believe that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
This information is included in Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies, in the accompanying notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements and is incorporated herein by reference from Item 1 of Part I.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of risks that could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results, some of which are beyond our control. In addition to the other information set forth in this report, the risks and uncertainties that we believe are most important for you to consider are discussed in Part I, "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2021, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, which we currently deem immaterial or which are similar to those faced by other companies in our industry or business in general, may also impair our business operations. There are no material changes to the Risk Factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2021, as supplemented by the Risk Factors described in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 3, 2021, other than as set forth below:
Significant developments in U.S. trade policies have had, and we expect will continue to have, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The U.S. government has indicated its intent to alter its approach to international trade policy and in some cases to renegotiate, or potentially terminate, certain existing bilateral or multi-lateral trade agreements and treaties with foreign countries. Effective September 24, 2018, the U.S. government implemented a 10% tariff on certain goods imported from China, which include the majority of those imported by the Company. These tariffs were increased to 25% on May 10, 2019 and were slated to further increase to 30% in October 2019 until a last-minute interim deal was reached between the United States and China. Although the United States and China signed a new trade agreement in January 2020, most of the previously-implemented tariffs on goods imported from China remain in place (including the tariffs described above), and uncertainty remains as to the short-term and long-term future of economic relations between the United States and China.
From September 2018 until April 2020, our Roomba products were subject to Section 301 tariffs. On April 24, 2020, we were granted a temporary exclusion from Section 301 List 3 tariffs by the United States Trade Representative ("USTR"). This exclusion, as extended in August 2020, eliminated the 25% tariff on Roomba products until December 31, 2020 and entitled us to a refund of $57.0 million in tariffs paid since the date the Section 301 List 3 tariffs were imposed.
Effective as of January 1, 2021, the 25% Section 301 tariff again applies to our Roomba products imported from China. Although we have begun relocating a meaningful portion of our supply chain from China to Malaysia, we again face compression on our margin on products sold and pricing pressures on our products. The already-implemented, and any additional or increased, tariffs have caused, and may in the future cause, us to further increase prices to our customers which we believe has reduced, and in the future may reduce, demand for our products.
On October 4, 2021, the USTR announced its decision to establish a new process for importers to apply for exclusions from Section 301 tariffs in 549 product categories, including robotic vacuum cleaners. Beginning October 12, 2021, the USTR started accepting comments on whether or not reinstating certain tariff exclusions will impact or result in severe economic harm to companies or other interests of the United States. The USTR will accept comments through December 1, 2021. We have submitted comments prior to the deadline. However, the timing for action by the USTR is uncertain. Therefore, we cannot say definitively when, or even if, iRobot will be granted additional tariff relief on our products still manufactured in China, nor can we guarantee the terms upon which any tariff relief ultimately may be granted.
These tariffs, and other governmental action relating to international trade agreements or policies, have directly or indirectly adversely impacted demand for our products, our costs, customers, suppliers, distributors, resellers and/or the U.S. economy or certain sectors thereof and, as a result, have adversely impacted, and we expect will continue to adversely impact, our business, financial condition and results of operations. It remains unclear what the U.S. or foreign governments will or will not do with respect to tariffs, international trade agreements and policies on a short-term or long-term basis. We cannot predict future trade policy, whether exclusions will be reinstated, or the terms of any renegotiated trade agreements and their impacts on our business. The adoption and expansion of trade restrictions, the occurrence of a trade war, or other governmental action related to tariffs or trade agreements or policies has the potential to further adversely impact demand for our products, our costs,
30



our customers, our suppliers, and the U.S. economy, which in turn could further adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In response to international trade policy, as well as other risks associated with concentrated manufacturing in China, we have begun relocating a meaningful portion of our supply chain from China to Malaysia. Such relocation activities increase costs and risks associated with establishing new manufacturing facilities.
Surges in demand impacting the cost and availability of transportation have had, and we expect will continue to have, an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Surges in demand related to COVID-19, as well as other factors, have continued to strain the global supply chain network, which has resulted in carrier-imposed capacity restrictions, carrier delays, and longer lead times. Demand for Chinese imports has caused shipment receiving and unloading backlogs at many U.S. ports that have been unable to keep pace with unprecedented inbound container volume. The situation has been further exacerbated by COVID-19 illness and protocols at many port locations. Due to the backlog and increasing trade imbalance with China, many shipping containers are not being sent back to China, or are being sent to China empty. With continued increases in demand for containers, limited supply and freight vendors bearing the cost of shipping empty containers, the market cost of inbound freight has increased by several multiples compared to calendar year 2020 averages. To the extent that transportation costs and interruptions continue, we may face increased pressure on gross margins, product delivery delays and an inability to fulfill orders for our products.

(2)    As previously disclosed on March 10, 2020, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program authorizing up to $200.0 million in share repurchases through September 2021. Our Board of Directors modified the existing stock repurchase program for the remaining $125.0 million to permit an accelerated share repurchase ("ASR") transaction and extended the authorization until March 31, 2022. On August 2, 2021, we entered into an ASR agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association ("Wells Fargo") to repurchase an aggregate of $100.0 million of our common stock. Pursuant to the ASR agreement, we paid Wells Fargo $100.0 million in August 2021 and received an initial delivery of 943,285 shares of our common stock. In September 2021, we received an additional 254,933 shares upon settlement. The calculation of the average price per share for the period July 4, 2021 to October 2, 2021 in the table above is based solely on the result of dividing the $100.0 million we paid towards the ASR by the total shares received under the plan of 1,198,218.

Item 5. Other Information
10b5-1 Trading Plans
Our policy governing transactions in our securities by our directors, officers, and employees permits our officers, directors, funds affiliated with our directors, and certain other persons to enter into trading plans complying with Rule 10b5-l under the Exchange Act. We have been advised that certain of our officers and directors (including Colin Angle, Chief Executive Officer and Glen Weinstein, EVP and Chief Legal Officer, as well as Mohamad Ali and Deborah Ellinger, each a director of the Company) have entered into trading plans (each a "Plan" and collectively, the "Plans") covering periods after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in accordance with Rule 10b5-l and our policy governing transactions in our securities. Generally, under these trading plans, the individual relinquishes control over the transactions once the trading plan is put into place. Accordingly, sales under these plans may occur at any time, including possibly before, simultaneously with, or immediately after significant events involving the Company.
We anticipate that, as permitted by Rule 10b5-1 and our policy governing transactions in our securities, some or all of our officers, directors and employees may establish trading plans in the future. We intend to disclose the names of our executive officers and directors who establish a trading plan in compliance with Rule 10b5-1 and the requirements of our policy

governing transactions in our securities in our future quarterly and annual reports on Form 10-Q and 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We undertake no obligation to update or revise the information provided herein.

Date:August 2, 2021
To:iRobot Corporation
From:Wells Fargo Bank, National Association
The purpose of this communication (this “Confirmation”) is to confirm the terms and conditions of the transaction entered into between Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”) and iRobot Corporation (“Counterparty”) on the Trade Date specified below (the “Transaction”). This Confirmation constitutes a “Confirmation” as referred to in the Agreement specified below.
This Confirmation is subject to, and incorporates, the definitions and provisions contained in the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “Equity Definitions”), as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”). The Transaction is a Share Forward Transaction for purposes of the Equity Definitions.
1.This Confirmation evidences a complete and binding agreement between Wells Fargo and Counterparty as to the terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates. This Confirmation shall supplement, form a part of, and be subject to an agreement in the form of the 2002 ISDA Master Agreement (the “Agreement”) as if Wells Fargo and Counterparty had executed an agreement in such form (but without any Schedule except for the election of (i) the law (and not the law of conflicts) of the State of New York as the governing law and (ii) United States dollars as the Termination Currency) on the Trade Date. The parties hereby agree that no Transaction other than the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates shall be governed by the Agreement. If there exists any ISDA Master Agreement between Wells Fargo and Counterparty or any confirmation or other agreement between Wells Fargo and Counterparty pursuant to which an ISDA Master Agreement is deemed to exist between Wells Fargo and Counterparty, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in such ISDA Master Agreement, such confirmation or agreement or any other agreement to which Wells Fargo and Counterparty are parties, the Transaction shall not be considered a Transaction under, or otherwise governed by, such existing or deemed ISDA Master Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Transaction shall not be a Transaction under the ISDA Master Agreement between Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and Counterparty dated as of March 15, 2019.
If, in relation to the Transaction, there is any inconsistency between the Agreement, this Confirmation and the Equity Definitions, the following will prevail for purposes of the Transaction in the order of precedence indicated: (i) this Confirmation; (ii) the Equity Definitions; and (iii) the Agreement.







2.The terms of the particular Transaction to which this Confirmation relates are as follows:
General Terms:

If such price is not reported on such Exchange Business Day for any reason or is, in the Calculation Agent’s good faith and commercially reasonable discretion, erroneous, such VWAP Price shall be determined by the Calculation Agent in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner.

Related Exchange(s):All Exchanges

Prepayment Date:As specified in Appendix A.
Prepayment Amount:As specified in Appendix A.

Settlement Price:
For any Valuation Date, the arithmetic average of the VWAP Price on each Averaging Date for such Valuation Date minus the Settlement Price Adjustment.
Settlement Price Adjustment:As specified in Appendix A.
    3



Valuation Disruption:
The definition of “Market Disruption Event” in Section 6.3(a) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by replacing the words “at any time during the one-hour period that ends at the relevant Valuation Time, Latest Exercise Time, Knock-in Valuation Time or Knock-out Valuation Time, as the case may be” with “at any time on any Scheduled Trading Day during the Averaging Period or Settlement Valuation Period” in the third line thereof.
Section 6.3(d) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the remainder of the provision following the term “Scheduled Closing Time” in the fourth line thereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Equity Definitions, if a Disrupted Day occurs in the Averaging Period or Settlement Valuation Period, the Calculation Agent shall in its good faith and commercially reasonable discretion (i) extend the Averaging Period or Settlement Valuation Period, as the case may be, by a number of Scheduled Trading Days equal to the number of Disrupted Days during the Averaging Period or Settlement Valuation Period, as applicable, or (ii) determine that such Disrupted Day is a Disrupted Day only in part, in which case the Calculation Agent shall (x) determine the VWAP Price for such Disrupted Day based on trades that are reported during the period of time during which Counterparty could purchase its own shares under Rule 10b-18(b)(2) and are effected pursuant to the conditions of Rule 10b-18(b)(3), each under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), on such Disrupted Day taking into account the nature and duration of such Market Disruption Event and (y) determine the Settlement Price or Cash Settlement Price, as the case may be, based on an appropriately weighted average instead of an arithmetic average, with such adjustments based on, among other factors, 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 date hereof, the Exchange is scheduled to close prior to its normal close of trading shall be deemed not to be an Exchange Business Day (nor an Averaging Date); 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 Averaging Period or Settlement Valuation Period, and each of the eight (8) immediately following Scheduled Trading Days is a Disrupted Day (a “Disruption Event”), then the Calculation Agent, in its good faith and commercially reasonable discretion, may deem such Disruption Event (and each consecutive Disrupted Day thereafter) to be either (x) a Potential Adjustment Event in respect of the Transaction or (y) an Additional Termination Event in respect of the Transaction, with Counterparty as the sole Affected Party and the Transaction as the sole Affected Transaction.
    4



Settlement Terms:
Settlement Currency:USD
Settlement Procedures:If the Number of Shares to be Delivered is positive, Physical Settlement shall be applicable to the Transaction. If the Number of Shares to be Delivered is negative, then the Counterparty Settlement Provisions in Annex A hereto shall apply to the Transaction.

A number of Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number) equal to (a) (i) the Prepayment Amount divided by (ii) the Settlement Price as determined on the relevant Valuation Date, minus (b) the Initial Shares.

It shall constitute an additional Potential Adjustment Event if (x) a Disrupted Day occurs, (y) a Regulatory Disruption occurs or (z) a Disruption Event occurs.

    5



Extraordinary Dividend:The cash dividend or distribution per Share, or a portion thereof, declared by Counterparty on the Shares that is classified by the board of directors of Counterparty as a “one-time”, “special” or an “extraordinary” dividend. For the avoidance of doubt, an Extraordinary Dividend shall not be deemed to be an Excess Dividend.
Ordinary Dividend Amount:As specified in Appendix A
Early Ordinary Dividend Payment:If an ex-dividend date for any Dividend that is not an Excess Dividend occurs during any fiscal quarter (in whole or in part) during the Relevant Dividend Period and is prior to the Expected Ex-Dividend Date for the relevant fiscal quarter (as determined by the Calculation Agent), the Calculation Agent shall make such adjustment to the exercise, settlement, payment or any other terms of the Transaction as the Calculation Agent determines appropriate to account for the economic effect on the Transaction of such event.
Relevant Dividend Period:The period from and including the Trade Date to and including the Relevant Dividend Period End Date.
Relevant Dividend Period End Date:

Extraordinary Events:
    6



Alternative Termination Settlement:
Upon (x) the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date in respect of the Transaction or (y) the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event that results in the cancellation or termination of the Transaction pursuant to Section 12.2, 12.3, 12.6 or 12.9 of the Equity Definitions (except as a result of (i) an Extraordinary Event that is a Nationalization, Insolvency, Merger Event or Tender Offer, in each case, in which the consideration or proceeds to be paid to holders of Shares consists solely of cash or (ii) an Event of Default in which Counterparty is the Affected Party, in which the Event of Default or Termination Event resulted from an event or events within Counterparty’s control), if one party would owe any amount to the other party pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement or any Cancellation Amount pursuant to Article 12 of the Equity Definitions (any such amount, a “Payment Amount”), then on the date on which any Payment Amount is due, in lieu of any payment or delivery of such Payment Amount, Counterparty may elect, by prior written notice to Wells Fargo as provided in the succeeding paragraph, that the party owing such amount shall deliver to the other party a number of Shares (or, in the case of a Merger Event, Tender Offer, Nationalization or Insolvency, a number of units, each comprising the number or amount of the securities or property that a hypothetical holder of one Share would receive in such Extraordinary Event (each such unit, an “Alternative Termination Delivery Unit” and, the securities or property comprising such unit, “Alternative Termination Property”)) with a value equal to the Payment Amount, as determined as set forth in the second and third immediately succeeding paragraphs. In determining the composition of any Alternative Termination Delivery Unit, if the relevant Extraordinary Event 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.
In order for Counterparty to validly elect for a Payment Amount to be settled in Shares or Alternative Termination Property, Counterparty must deliver written notice of such election to Wells Fargo no later than the Early Termination Date or the date on which the Transaction is terminated or cancelled, and such written notice must include a representation and warranty by Counterparty to Wells Fargo that, as of the date of such notice, Counterparty is not aware of any material non-public information regarding Counterparty or the Shares and is making such election in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade compliance with the federal securities laws.
If Counterparty elects for Wells Fargo to settle any Payment Amount owed by Wells Fargo to it in Shares or Alternative Termination Property, then on the date such Payment Amount is due, a settlement balance (the “Payment Amount Settlement Balance”) shall be established with an initial balance equal to the Payment Amount. On such date, Wells Fargo shall commence purchasing Shares or Alternative Termination Property over a commercially reasonable period for delivery to Counterparty and in a commercially reasonable manner to unwind a commercially reasonable hedge position. At the end of each Scheduled Trading Day on which Wells Fargo purchases Shares or Alternative Termination Property pursuant to this paragraph, Wells Fargo shall reduce the Payment Amount Settlement Balance by the amount paid by Wells Fargo to purchase the Shares or Alternative Termination Property purchased on such Scheduled Trading Day. Wells Fargo shall deliver any Shares or Alternative Termination Property purchased on a Scheduled Trading Day to Counterparty on the third Clearance System Business Day following the relevant Scheduled Trading Day. Wells Fargo shall continue purchasing Shares or Alternative Termination Property over a commercially reasonable period until the Payment Amount Settlement Balance has been reduced to zero. If delivery of Shares or Alternative Termination Property is to be made by Wells Fargo pursuant to this paragraph, the period during which Wells Fargo purchases Shares or Alternative Termination Property to fulfill its delivery obligations under this paragraph shall be referred to as the “Termination Purchase Period.”
If Counterparty elects to settle any Payment Amount owed to Wells Fargo in Shares or Alternative Termination Property pursuant to this “Alternative Termination Settlement” provision, paragraphs 2 through 7 of Annex A hereto shall apply as if (A) such delivery were a settlement of the Transaction to which Net Share Settlement applied, (B) the Cash Settlement Payment Date were the Early Termination Date or the date of early cancellation or termination, as the case may be, and (C) the Forward Cash Settlement Amount were equal to (x) zero minus (y) the Payment Amount owed by Counterparty.
For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Equity Definitions or this Confirmation, the Payment Amount will not reflect the value associated with any Excess Dividend declared or paid by Counterparty to holders of record of any Shares as of any date occurring on or after the Trade Date and prior to the date on which the Payment Amount is received.
    7



Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination):Sections 12.2(e) and 12.3(d) and the first paragraph of Section 12.7(b) of the Equity Definitions shall be amended by inserting the words “or Share Forward Transaction” after the words “Option Transaction” in each place where such words appear therein. Section 12.7(c) shall be deleted from the Equity Definitions, and each reference in the Equity Definitions to “Section 12.7(c)” shall be replaced with a reference to “Section 12.7(b)”.
Acknowledgment Regarding

Any adjustment to the terms of the Transaction, or the determination of any amounts due upon termination of the Transaction as a result of a Merger Event or Tender Offer shall take into account, and shall not duplicate the economic effects of, any extension or other adjustment hereunder (including, without limitation, any adjustment in Section 8 below).

Share-for-Other:Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination)
Share-for Combined:Component Adjustment

Not Applicable; provided that notwithstanding Sections 12.1(f) and 12.5(b) of the Equity Definitions, to the extent that the composition of the consideration for the relevant Shares in connection with a Merger Event or Tender Offer could be determined by a holder of the Shares, the Calculation Agent shall, in its good faith and commercially discretion, determine the composition of such consideration for purposes of determining the consequences of such Merger Event or Tender Offer under the Transaction.
Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting:Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination) In addition to the provisions of Section 12.6(a)(iii) of the Equity Definitions, it shall also constitute a Delisting if the Exchange is located in the United States and the Shares are not immediately re-listed, re-traded or re-quoted on any of the New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market or The NASDAQ Global Market (or their respective successors); if the Shares are immediately re-listed, re-traded or re-quoted on any such exchange or quotation system, such exchange or quotation system shall thereafter be the Exchange.

6.Additional Provisions.
(a)Counterparty Representations and Agreements. Counterparty represents and warrants to, and agrees with, Wells Fargo as follows:
(i)Public Reports. As of the Trade Date, Counterparty is in compliance with its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act, and all reports and other documents filed by Counterparty with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act, when considered as a whole (with the most recent such reports and documents deemed to amend inconsistent statements contained in any earlier such reports and documents), do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as of the Trade Date and as of the date of any election with respect to the Transaction (including any date that Counterparty elects to deliver or receive Shares hereunder pursuant to the language opposite the caption “Settlement Method Election” in Annex A or “Alternative Termination Settlement” above), Counterparty and its officers and directors are not aware of any material non-public information regarding Counterparty or the Shares.
(ii)Regulation M. Counterparty is not on the Trade Date engaged in a “distribution,” as such term is used in Regulation M under the Exchange Act (“Regulation M”). In the event that Counterparty reasonably concludes that it or any of its affiliates or agents will take any action that would cause Regulation M to be applicable to any purchases of Shares, or any security for which the Shares are a “reference security” (as defined in Regulation M), by Counterparty or any of its “affiliated purchasers” (as defined in Regulation M) on any day prior to the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the latest of the (i) the final Valuation Date, (ii) the last day of the Settlement Valuation Period, and (iii) the
    12



last day of the Termination Purchase Period, as applicable, Counterparty shall provide Wells Fargo at least five Scheduled Trading Days’ written notice of such fact prior to the beginning of the restricted period applicable to such distribution under Regulation M. Counterparty acknowledges that any such action could cause the occurrence (or deemed occurrence) of a Market Disruption Event (and, accordingly, a Potential Adjustment Event). Accordingly, Counterparty acknowledges that its actions in relation to any such notice must comply with the standards set forth in Section 6(b) below.
(iii)No Manipulation. Counterparty is not entering into the 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 and will not engage in any other securities or derivative transaction to such ends.
(iv)No Distribution. Counterparty is not entering into the Transaction to facilitate a distribution of the Shares (or any security that may be converted into or exercised or exchanged for Shares, or whose value under its terms may in whole or in significant part be determined by the value of the Shares) or in connection with any future issuance of securities.
(v)Solvency. As of the Trade Date, the Initial Share Delivery Date, the Prepayment Date and the Settlement Date, (a) the aggregate fair market value of Counterparty’s assets will exceed its liabilities (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities), (b) it has not engaged in and will not engage in any business or transaction after which the property remaining with it will be unreasonably small in relation to its business, (c) it has not incurred and does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay as they mature, and (d) as a result of entering into and performing its obligations under the Transaction, (x) it has not violated and will not violate any relevant state law provision applicable to the acquisition or redemption by an issuer of its own securities and (y) it would not be nor would it be rendered “insolvent” (as such term is defined under Section 101(32) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code) (the “Bankruptcy Code”)).
(vi)Eligible Contract Participant. It is an “eligible contract participant,” as defined under the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. § 1a(18)) and CFTC regulations (17 CFR § 1.3) because it is a corporation, partnership, organization, trust, or other entity (other than a commodity pool or a proprietorship) that has total assets exceeding $10,000,000.
(vii)Tender Offers. The purchase or writing of the Transaction by Counterparty will not violate Rule 13e-1 or Rule 13e-4 under the Exchange Act.
(viii)Investment Company. Counterparty is not, and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby will not be, required to register as an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
(ix)Accounting Treatment. Without limiting the generality of Section 13.1 of the Equity Definitions, Counterparty acknowledges that neither Wells Fargo nor any of its Affiliates is making any representations or warranties or taking any position or expressing any view with respect to the treatment of the Transaction under any accounting standards including ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share, ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity.
(x)Authorization and Disclosure. The Transaction is being entered into pursuant to a publicly disclosed Share buy-back program, which Counterparty publicly disclosed on or
    13



before the Trade Date. Upon Wells Fargo’s request, Counterparty shall deliver to Wells Fargo a copy of the resolution of Counterparty’s board of directors authorizing the Transaction.
(xi)No Overlapping Transactions. Without consent from Wells Fargo, Counterparty will not enter into agreements similar to the Transaction where any initial hedge period, averaging period, termination purchase period or settlement valuation period (each however defined) in such other transaction will overlap at any time (including as a result of extensions in such initial hedge period, averaging period, termination purchase period or settlement valuation period as provided in the relevant agreements) with any Averaging Period, Termination Purchase Period or Settlement Valuation Period under this Confirmation. In the event of any such overlap as a result of any postponement pursuant to “Valuation Disruption” above or implementation of the Settlement Valuation Period, Counterparty shall promptly amend such other transaction to avoid any such overlap.
(xii)Rule 10b-18 purchases. Counterparty represents and warrants to Wells Fargo that neither it nor any “affiliated purchaser” (as defined in Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act, “Rule 10b-18”) has made any purchases of blocks pursuant to the proviso in Rule 10b-18(b)(4) during either (i) the four full calendar weeks immediately preceding the Trade Date or (ii) during the calendar week in which the Trade Date occurs.
(b)Rule 10b5-1.
(i)Counterparty intends the Transaction to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act. Counterparty represents that it is entering into the Transaction in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade the antifraud or anti-manipulation provisions of the federal or applicable state securities laws and that it has not entered into or altered any hedging transaction relating to the Shares corresponding to or offsetting the Transaction. Counterparty represents and warrants that it has consulted with its own advisors as to the legal aspects of its adoption and implementation of the Transaction under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act.
(ii)Counterparty shall not, at any time during any Averaging Period, Settlement Valuation Period or Termination Purchase Period, communicate, directly or indirectly, any material nonpublic information concerning itself or the Shares or purchases or sales of Shares by Wells Fargo (or its agent or affiliate) to any Relevant Bank Personnel. “Relevant Bank Personnel” means any “public side” employees or agents of Wells Fargo or any affiliate of Wells Fargo that Wells Fargo has notified Counterparty in writing are “Relevant Bank Personnel”; provided that Wells Fargo may amend the list of Relevant Bank Personnel at any time by delivering a revised list to Counterparty. “Relevant Bank Personnel” shall initially mean any personnel of the “public side” equity derivatives trading group of Wells Fargo or its affiliates who are responsible for, or have the ability to influence, the execution of the Transaction and of Wells Fargo’s hedge in relation thereto.
(iii)Counterparty agrees that Counterparty shall not enter into or alter any hedging transaction relating to the Shares corresponding to or offsetting the Transaction. Counterparty also acknowledges and agrees that any amendment, modification, waiver or termination of this Confirmation must be effected in accordance with the requirements for the amendment or termination of a “plan” as defined in Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any such amendment, modification, waiver or termination shall be made in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade the prohibitions of Rule 10b-5, and no such amendment, modification, waiver or termination shall be made at any time at which Counterparty is aware of any material non-public information regarding Counterparty or the Shares.
    14



(iv)Counterparty acknowledges and agrees that it does not have, and shall not attempt to exercise, any influence over how, when or whether Wells Fargo effects any purchases of Shares in connection with the Transaction.
(c)U.S. Private Placement and Other Representations.
Each party acknowledges that the offer and sale of the Transaction to it is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Accordingly, each party hereby represents and warrants to the other party as of the date hereof that:
(i)It is an “accredited investor” (as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act) and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the Transaction, and it is able to bear the economic risk of the Transaction.
(ii)It is entering into the Transaction for its own account and not with a view to the distribution or resale of the Transaction or its rights thereunder.
(iii)It is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization or incorporation and, if relevant under such laws, in good standing.

(v)Such execution, delivery and performance do not violate or conflict with any law applicable to it, any provision of its constitutional documents, any order or judgment of any court or other agency of government applicable to it or any of its assets or any contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or any of its assets.
(d)Securities Contract; Swap Agreement. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that Wells Fargo is a “financial participant” within the meaning of Sections 101(22), 101(53C) and 101(22A) of the Bankruptcy Code. The parties hereto further agree and acknowledge that the Transaction is (i) a “securities contract” as such term is defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code, in which case each payment and delivery made pursuant to the Transaction is a “termination value,” “payment amount” or “other transfer obligation” within the meaning of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and a “settlement payment,” within the meaning of Section 546 of the Bankruptcy Code and (ii) a “swap agreement,” as such term is defined in Section 101(53B) of the Bankruptcy Code, with respect to which each payment and delivery hereunder or in connection herewith is a “termination value,” “payment amount” or “other transfer obligation” within the meaning of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and a “transfer,” as such term is defined in Section 101(54) of the Bankruptcy Code and a “payment or other transfer of property” within the meaning of Sections 362 and 546 of the Bankruptcy Code, and that Wells Fargo is entitled to the protections afforded by, among other sections, Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 362(o), 546(e), 546(g), 548(d)(2), 555, 560 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code.
(e)Bankruptcy Status. Wells Fargo acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to convey to it rights with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby that are senior to the claims of Counterparty’s common stockholders in the event of Counterparty’s bankruptcy; provided, that nothing herein shall be deemed to limit Wells Fargo’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 Wells Fargo’s rights in respect of any transaction other than the Transaction.
    15



(f)No Collateral or Setoff. Notwithstanding any provision of this Confirmation, the Agreement, or any other agreement between the parties to the contrary, the obligations of Counterparty under the Transaction are not secured by any collateral. Wells Fargo agrees not to set off or net amounts due from Counterparty with respect to the Transaction against amounts due from Wells Fargo to Counterparty.
(g)Additional Termination Events. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, an Additional Termination Event shall occur and Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party pursuant to such Additional Termination Event if: (i) at any time on or prior to the final Valuation Date, the price per Share on the Exchange, as determined by the Calculation Agent, is at or below the Threshold Price as specified in Appendix A; or (ii) Counterparty declares an Excess Dividend or an Extraordinary Dividend, in either case, with an ex-dividend date that occurs or is scheduled to occur during the Relevant Dividend Period. For the avoidance of doubt, no such Excess Dividend or Extraordinary Dividend shall constitute a Potential Adjustment Event.
(h)Maximum Share Delivery. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, in no event shall Counterparty be required to deliver any Shares, or any Shares or other securities comprising Alternative Termination Delivery Units, in respect of the Transaction in excess of the Maximum Deliverable Number (as specified in Appendix A) of Shares.
(i)Agreements to Deliver Documents. Counterparty agrees to complete (accurately and in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the other party), execute, and deliver to Wells Fargo, United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or Form W-9, as applicable, or any successor of such form, (i) upon execution of this Confirmation, (ii) promptly upon reasonable demand by Wells Fargo, and (iii) promptly upon learning that any such form previously provided by it has become obsolete or incorrect.
(j)Reserved.
(k)Counterparty Purchases. Without the prior written consent of Wells Fargo, Counterparty shall not, and shall cause its “affiliated purchasers” (as defined in Rule 10b-18) not to, directly or indirectly (including, without limitation, by means of a derivative) 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 for Shares during the Averaging Period, Settlement Valuation Period or Termination Purchase Period. During such time, any purchases of Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for Shares) by Counterparty shall be made through Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, which is an affiliate of Wells Fargo.
(l)Merger-related Transactions. During the Averaging Period, Settlement Valuation Period and Termination Purchase Period, as applicable, Counterparty shall (i) not make, or permit to be made, any public announcement (as defined in Rule 165(f) under the Securities Act) of any Merger Transaction or potential Merger Transaction (a “Merger Announcement”) unless such Merger Announcement is made prior to the opening or after the close of the regular trading session on the Exchange for the Shares, (ii) notify Wells Fargo prior to the opening of trading in the Shares on any day on which Counterparty makes, or expects to be made, any Merger Announcement, (iii) promptly notify Wells Fargo following any such Merger Announcement that such Merger Announcement has been made, and (iv) promptly deliver to Wells Fargo following the making of any such Merger Announcement a certificate indicating (A) Counterparty’s average daily Rule 10b-18 purchases (as defined in Rule 10b-18) during the three full calendar months preceding the date of the Merger Announcement and (B) Counterparty’s block purchases (as defined in Rule 10b-18) effected pursuant to paragraph (b)(4) of Rule 10b-18 during the three full calendar months preceding the date of the Merger Announcement. In addition, Counterparty shall promptly notify Wells Fargo of the earlier to occur of the completion of any Merger Transaction and the completion of the vote by target shareholders. Counterparty acknowledges that any Merger
    16



Announcement may cause the terms of the Transaction to be adjusted or terminated. Accordingly, Counterparty acknowledges that its actions in relation to any Merger Announcement or Merger Transaction must comply with the standards set forth in Section 6(b) above. Upon the occurrence of any Merger Announcement, Wells Fargo may (i) make adjustments in a commercially reasonable manner to the terms of the Transaction or (ii) treat the occurrence of such Merger Announcement as an Additional Termination Event with Counterparty as the sole Affected Party and the Transaction hereunder as the Affected Transaction and with the amount under Section 6(e) of the Agreement determined taking into account the fact that the Averaging Period, Settlement Valuation Period and/or Termination Purchase Period, as the case may be, had fewer Scheduled Trading Days than originally anticipated. “Merger Transaction” means any merger, acquisition, or similar transaction involving a recapitalization relating to Counterparty, other than, solely for purposes of this clause (l), any such transaction in which the consideration consists solely of cash and there is no valuation period.
(m)Acknowledgments and Agreements Regarding Hedging. Counterparty acknowledges and agrees that (i) during the Averaging Period, Wells Fargo and its affiliates may (x) 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 the Transaction and (y) be active in the market for Shares other than in connection with hedging activities in relation to the Transaction, (ii) Wells Fargo 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 Settlement Price and/or the VWAP Price and (iii) any market activities of Wells Fargo and its affiliates with respect to Shares may affect the market price and volatility of Shares, as well as the Settlement Price, the Cash Settlement Price and/or the VWAP Price, each in a manner that may be adverse to Counterparty.
7.Regulatory Disruption.
As specified in Appendix A.
8.Special Provisions regarding Acquisition Transaction Announcements.
(a)If an Acquisition Transaction Announcement occurs on or prior to the final Settlement Date, then the Calculation Agent shall make such adjustments in a good faith and commercially reasonable manner to the Settlement Price Adjustment, to account for the economic effect on the Transaction of such Acquisition Transaction Announcement (including adjustments to account solely for changes in price, volatility, stock loan rate and liquidity relevant to the Shares, to the Transaction or Dealer’s commercially reasonable hedge positions in respect of the Transaction).  If an Acquisition Transaction Announcement occurs after the Trade Date, but prior to the Scheduled Earliest Acceleration Date, the Scheduled Earliest Acceleration Date shall be the date of such Acquisition Transaction Announcement.
(b)Acquisition Transaction Announcement” means the public announcement by Counterparty or any Valid Third Party Entity (as defined below) (i)  of an Acquisition Transaction or an event that, if consummated, would result in an Acquisition Transaction, (ii)  that Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries has entered into an agreement, a letter of intent or an understanding designed to result in an Acquisition Transaction, (iii)  of the intention to solicit or enter into, or to explore strategic alternatives or other similar undertaking that may include, an Acquisition Transaction, (iv) of a transaction or event that in the good faith and commercially reasonable judgment of the Calculation Agent would result in an Acquisition Transaction, or (v) of any change or amendment to any previous Acquisition Transaction Announcement (including any announcement of the abandonment of any such previously announced Acquisition Transaction, agreement, letter of intent, understanding or intention). For the avoidance of doubt, announcements as used in the definition of Acquisition Transaction Announcement refer to any public announcement whether made by Counterparty, its subsidiary, its affiliate or its representative. “Valid Third Party
    17



Entity” means any third party that has a bona fide intent to enter into and consummate an Acquisition Transaction (it being understood and agreed that in determining whether such third party has such a bona fide intent, the Calculation Agent may take into consideration of the effect of the relevant announcement by such third party on the Shares and/or options relating to the Shares).
(c)Acquisition Transaction” means (i) any Merger Event (for purposes of this definition the definition of Merger Event shall be read with the references therein to “100%” being replaced by “30%” and to “50%” by “85%” and without reference to the clause beginning immediately following the definition of Reverse Merger therein to the end of such definition), Tender Offer or Merger Transaction or any other transaction involving the merger of Counterparty with or into any third party, (ii) the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of Counterparty, (iii) a recapitalization, reclassification, binding share exchange or other similar transaction with respect to Counterparty, (iv)  any acquisition, lease, exchange, transfer, disposition (including by way of spin-off or distribution) of assets (including any capital stock or other ownership interests in subsidiaries) or other similar event by Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries where the aggregate consideration transferable or receivable by or to Counterparty or its subsidiaries exceeds 30% of the market capitalization of Counterparty and (v) any transaction in which Counterparty or its board of directors has a legal obligation to make a recommendation to its shareholders in respect of such transaction (whether pursuant to Rule 14e-2 under the Exchange Act or otherwise).
9.Staggered Settlement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Wells Fargo may, by prior notice to Counterparty, satisfy its obligation to deliver any Shares or other securities on any date due (an “Original Delivery Date”) by making separate deliveries of Shares or such securities, as the case may be, at more than one time on or prior to such Original Delivery Date, so long as the aggregate number of Shares and other securities so delivered on or prior to such Original Delivery Date is equal to the number required to be delivered on such Original Delivery Date.
10.Transfer and Assignment.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, Wells Fargo may assign, transfer and set over all its rights, title and interest, powers, privileges and remedies under the Transaction, in whole or in part, (A) without Counterparty’s consent, to any affiliate of Wells Fargo (1) that has a long-term issuer rating that is equal to or better than Wells Fargo’s credit rating at the time of such transfer or assignment, or (2) whose obligations hereunder will be guaranteed, pursuant to the terms of a customary guarantee in a form used by Wells Fargo or Wells Fargo & Company (provided that in connection with any assignment or transfer pursuant to clause (A)(2) hereof, the guarantee of any guarantor of the relevant transferee’s obligations under the Transaction shall constitute a Credit Support Document under the Agreement), or (B) with Counterparty’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to any third party financial institution that is a recognized dealer in the market for U.S. corporate equity derivatives and that has a long-term issuer rating equal to or better than the lesser of (1) the credit rating of Wells Fargo at the time of the transfer and (2) A- by Standard and Poor’s Rating Group, Inc. or its successor (“S&P”), or A3 by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. or its successor (“Moody’s”) or, if either S&P or Moody’s ceases to rate such debt, at least an equivalent rating or better by a substitute rating agency mutually agreed by Wells Fargo and Counterparty.
11.Limit on Beneficial Ownership.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, Counterparty acknowledges and agrees that, on any day, Wells Fargo shall not be obligated or entitled to receive from Counterparty any Shares, and Counterparty shall not be entitled to deliver to Wells Fargo any Shares, to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after such receipt of any Shares hereunder, (i) the Section 16 Percentage would exceed 8.0%, or (ii) the Share Amount would exceed the Applicable Share Limit.  Any purported delivery hereunder shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after such delivery, (i) the Section 16
    18



Percentage would exceed 8.0%, or (ii) the Share Amount would exceed the Applicable Share Limit.  If any delivery owed to Wells Fargo 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, Wells Fargo gives notice to Counterparty that, after such delivery, (i) the Section 16 Percentage would not exceed 8.0%, and (ii) the Share Amount would not exceed the Applicable Share Limit.  The “Section 16 Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Wells Fargo and any of its affiliates or any other person subject to aggregation with Wells Fargo for purposes of the “beneficial ownership” test under Section 13 of the Exchange Act, or any “group” (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act) of which Wells Fargo is or may be deemed to be a part beneficially owns (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act), without duplication, on such day (or, to the extent that for any reason the equivalent calculation under Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder results in a higher number, such higher number) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day.  The “Share Amount” as of any day is the number of Shares that Wells Fargo and any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Wells Fargo (Wells Fargo or any such person, a “Wells Fargo Person”) under any law, rule, regulation, regulatory order or organizational documents or contracts of Counterparty that are, in each case, applicable to ownership of Shares (“Applicable Restrictions”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Wells Fargo in its reasonable discretion.  The “Applicable Share Limit” means a number of Shares equal to (A) the minimum number of Shares that could give rise to reporting or registration obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval from any person or entity) of a Wells Fargo Person, or could result in an adverse effect on a Wells Fargo Person, under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Wells Fargo in its reasonable discretion, minus (B) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding.
12.Registration Provisions.
Counterparty hereby agrees that if, in the good faith and commercially reasonable judgment of Wells Fargo, any Shares acquired by Wells Fargo for the purpose of hedging its obligations pursuant to the Transaction cannot be sold in the public market by Wells Fargo without registration under the Securities Act, Counterparty shall, at its election: (i) in order to allow Wells Fargo to sell such Shares in a registered offering, make available to Wells Fargo an effective registration statement under the Securities Act to cover the resale of such Shares and (A) enter into an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Wells Fargo, substantially in the form of an underwriting agreement for a registered offering of similar size, (B) provide accountant’s “comfort” letters in customary form for registered offerings of equity securities of similar size, (C) provide disclosure opinions of nationally recognized outside counsel to Counterparty reasonably acceptable to Wells Fargo, (D) provide other customary opinions, certificates and closing documents customary in form for registered offerings of equity securities of similar size and (E) afford Wells Fargo a reasonable opportunity to conduct a “due diligence” investigation with respect to Counterparty customary in scope for underwritten offerings of equity securities of similar size; provided that if Wells Fargo, in its good faith and commercially 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 Section 12 shall apply at the election of Counterparty; (ii) in order to allow Wells Fargo to sell such 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 of similar size, in form and substance satisfactory to Wells Fargo, including customary representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to Wells Fargo, due diligence rights (for Wells Fargo or any designated buyer or buyers of the Shares from Wells Fargo), opinions and certificates and such other documentation as is customary for private placements agreements, all commercially reasonably acceptable to Wells Fargo (in which case, the Calculation Agent shall make any adjustments to the terms of the Transaction that are necessary, using commercially reasonable judgment, to compensate Wells Fargo for any commercially reasonable discount from the public market price of the Shares incurred on the sale of such Shares in a private placement); or (iii) purchase the Shares from Wells Fargo at the then-current market price on such Exchange Business Days, and in the amount(s) and at such time(s), requested by Wells Fargo.
    19



13.Calculations and Payment Date upon Early Termination.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement or Article 12 of the Equity Definitions, all amounts calculated as being due in respect of an Early Termination Date under Section 6(e) of the Agreement or upon cancellation or termination of the Transaction under Article 12 of the Equity Definitions will be payable on the day that notice of the amount payable is effective; provided that if Counterparty elects to receive or deliver Shares or Alternative Termination Property in accordance with the language opposite the caption “Alternative Termination Settlement” above, such Shares or Alternative Termination Property shall be delivered on a date selected by Wells Fargo as promptly as practicable.

14.Counterparts.
This Confirmation may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument, and any party hereto may execute this Confirmation by signing and delivering one or more counterparts.
15.Waiver of Trial by Jury.
EACH PARTY 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 WELLS FARGO OR ITS AFFILIATES IN THE NEGOTIATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.
16.Adjustments.
For the avoidance of doubt, whenever Wells Fargo, the Calculation Agent or the Determining Party is called upon to make an adjustment or determination pursuant to the terms of this Confirmation or the Equity Definitions to take into account the effect of an event, Wells Fargo, the Calculation Agent or the Determining Party, as the case may be, shall make such adjustment or determination by reference to the effect of such event on the Hedging Party, assuming that the Hedging Party maintains a commercially reasonable Hedge Position at the time of the event.
17.Amendments to the Equity Definitions.

In the event that Wells Fargo reasonably determines, in good faith and based on the advice of counsel, that it is appropriate with regard to any legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements or related policies and procedures (whether or not such requirements, policies or procedures are imposed by law or have been voluntarily adopted by Wells Fargo, and including, without limitation, Rule 10b-18, Rule 10b-5, Regulation 13D-G and Regulation 14E), to refrain from purchasing Shares or to purchase fewer than the number of Shares than would otherwise be expected to be purchased in a commercially reasonable manner on any Scheduled Trading Day during the duration of the Transaction, then Wells Fargo may, in its reasonable discretion, elect to deem that a Market Disruption Event has occurred and will be continuing on such Scheduled Trading Day or Days; provided that, if any Regulatory Disruption results in a Disrupted Day, such Scheduled Trading Day shall be a Disrupted Day in whole, and not in part.

Settlement Method Election Date:    The earlier of (i) the scheduled Valuation Date and (ii) the second Exchange Business Day immediately following the Accelerated Valuation Date (in which case the election under Section 7.1 of the Equity Definitions shall be made no later than 10 minutes prior to the open of trading on the Exchange on such second Exchange Business Day), as the case may be.
Default Settlement Method:    Cash Settlement
Forward Cash Settlement Amount:    An amount equal to (a) the Number of Shares to be Delivered, multiplied by (b) the Cash Settlement Price.

Annex A – Page 1





2.    Net Share Settlement shall be made by delivery on the Cash Settlement Payment Date of a number of Shares satisfying the conditions set forth in paragraph 3 below (the “Registered Settlement Shares”), or a number of Shares not satisfying such conditions (the “Unregistered Settlement Shares”), in either case with a value equal to the absolute value of the Forward Cash Settlement Amount, with such Shares’ value based on the value thereof to Wells Fargo (which value shall, in the case of Unregistered Settlement Shares, take into account a commercially reasonable illiquidity discount), in each case as determined by the Calculation Agent. If all of the conditions for delivery of either Registered Settlement Shares or Unregistered Settlement Shares have not been satisfied, Cash Settlement shall be applicable in accordance with paragraph 1 above notwithstanding Counterparty’s election of Net Share Settlement.
3.    Counterparty may only deliver Registered Settlement Shares pursuant to paragraph 2 above if:
(a)    a registration statement covering public resale of the Registered Settlement Shares by Wells Fargo (the “Registration Statement”) shall have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act and been declared or otherwise become effective on or prior to the date of delivery, and no stop order shall be in effect with respect to the Registration Statement; a printed prospectus relating to the Registered Settlement Shares (including, without limitation, any prospectus supplement thereto, the “Prospectus”) shall have been delivered to Wells Fargo, in such quantities as Wells Fargo shall reasonably have requested, on or prior to the date of delivery;
(b)    the form and content of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (including, without limitation, any sections describing the plan of distribution) shall be satisfactory to Wells Fargo;
(c)    as of or prior to the date of delivery, Wells Fargo and its agents shall have been afforded a reasonable opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation with respect to Counterparty customary in scope for underwritten offerings of equity securities and the results of such investigation are satisfactory to Wells Fargo, in its discretion; and
(d)    as of the date of delivery, an agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) shall have been entered into with Wells Fargo in connection with the public resale of the Registered Settlement Shares by Wells Fargo substantially similar to underwriting agreements customary for underwritten offerings of equity securities, in form and substance satisfactory to Wells Fargo, which Underwriting Agreement shall include, without limitation, provisions substantially similar to those contained in such underwriting agreements relating, without limitation, to the indemnification of, and contribution in connection with the liability of, Wells Fargo and its affiliates and the provision of customary opinions, accountants’ comfort letters and lawyers’ negative assurance letters.
4.    If Counterparty delivers Unregistered Settlement Shares pursuant to paragraph 2 above:
(a)    all Unregistered Settlement Shares shall be delivered to Wells Fargo (or any affiliate of Wells Fargo designated by Wells Fargo) pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 4(a)(2) thereof;
(b)    as of or prior to the date of delivery, Wells Fargo and any potential purchaser of any such shares from Wells Fargo (or any affiliate of Wells Fargo designated by Wells Fargo) identified by Wells Fargo shall be afforded a commercially reasonable opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation with respect to Counterparty customary in scope for private placements of equity securities (including, without limitation, the right to have made available to them for inspection all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and other information reasonably requested by them);
(c)    as of the date of delivery, Counterparty shall enter into an agreement (a “Private Placement Agreement”) with Wells Fargo (or any affiliate of Wells Fargo designated by Wells Fargo) in connection with the private placement of such shares by Counterparty to Wells Fargo (or any such affiliate) and the private resale of such shares by Wells Fargo (or any such affiliate), substantially similar to private placement purchase agreements customary for private placements of equity securities, in form and substance commercially reasonably satisfactory to Wells Fargo, which Private Placement Agreement shall include, without limitation, provisions substantially similar to those contained in such private placement purchase agreements relating, without limitation, to the indemnification
Annex A – Page 2





of, and contribution in connection with the liability of, Wells Fargo and its affiliates and the provision of customary opinions, accountants’ comfort letters and lawyers’ negative assurance letters, and shall provide for the payment by Counterparty of all fees and expenses of Wells Fargo (and any such affiliate) in connection with such resale, including, without limitation, all fees and expenses of counsel for Wells Fargo, and shall contain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Counterparty reasonably necessary or advisable to establish and maintain the availability of an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act for such resales; and
(d)    in connection with the private placement of such shares by Counterparty to Wells Fargo (or any such affiliate) and the private resale of such shares by Wells Fargo (or any such affiliate), Counterparty shall, if so requested by Wells Fargo, prepare, in cooperation with Wells Fargo, a private placement memorandum in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Wells Fargo.
5.    Wells Fargo, itself or through an affiliate (the “Selling Agent”) or any underwriter(s), will sell all, or such lesser portion as may be required hereunder, of the Registered Settlement Shares or Unregistered Settlement Shares and any Makewhole Shares (as defined below) (together, the “Settlement Shares”) delivered by Counterparty to Wells Fargo pursuant to paragraph 6 below commencing on the Cash Settlement Payment Date and continuing until the date on which the aggregate Net Proceeds (as such term is defined below) of such sales, as determined by Wells Fargo, is equal to the absolute value of the Forward Cash Settlement Amount (such date, the “Final Resale Date”). If the proceeds of any sale(s) made by Wells Fargo, the Selling Agent or any underwriter(s), net of any fees and commissions (including, without limitation, underwriting or placement fees) customary for similar transactions under the circumstances at the time of the offering, together with carrying charges and expenses incurred in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares (including, without limitation, the covering of any over-allotment or short position (syndicate or otherwise)) (the “Net Proceeds”) exceed the absolute value of the Forward Cash Settlement Amount, Wells Fargo will refund, in USD, such excess to Counterparty on the date that is three (3) Currency Business Days following the Final Resale Date, and, if any portion of the Settlement Shares remains unsold, Wells Fargo shall return to Counterparty on that date such unsold Shares.
6.    If the Calculation Agent determines that the Net Proceeds received from the sale of the Registered Settlement Shares or Unregistered Settlement Shares or any Makewhole Shares, if any, pursuant to this paragraph 6 are less than the absolute value of the Forward Cash Settlement Amount (the amount in USD by which the Net Proceeds are less than the absolute value of the Forward Cash Settlement Amount being the “Shortfall” and the date on which such determination is made, the “Deficiency Determination Date”), Counterparty shall on the Exchange Business Day next succeeding the Deficiency Determination Date (the “Makewhole Notice Date”) deliver to Wells Fargo, through the Selling Agent, a notice of Counterparty’s election that Counterparty shall either (i) pay an amount in cash equal to the Shortfall on the day that is one Currency Business Day after the Makewhole Notice Date, or (ii) deliver additional Shares. If Counterparty elects to deliver to Wells Fargo additional Shares, then Counterparty shall deliver additional Shares in compliance with the terms and conditions of paragraph 3 or paragraph 4 above, as the case may be (the “Makewhole Shares”), on the first Clearance System Business Day which is also an Exchange Business Day following the Makewhole Notice Date in such number as the Calculation Agent reasonably believes would have a market value on that Exchange Business Day equal to the Shortfall. Such Makewhole Shares shall be sold by Wells Fargo in accordance with the provisions above; provided that if the sum of the Net Proceeds from the sale of the originally delivered Shares and the Net Proceeds from the sale of any Makewhole Shares is less than the absolute value of the Forward Cash Settlement Amount then Counterparty shall, at its election, either make such cash payment or deliver to Wells Fargo further Makewhole Shares until such Shortfall has been reduced to zero.
7.    Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the aggregate number of Settlement Shares for the Transaction be greater than the Reserved Shares (such number, the “Capped Number”). Counterparty represents and warrants (which shall be deemed to be repeated on each day that the Transaction is outstanding) that the Capped Number is equal to or less than the number of Shares determined according to the following formula:
A – B
Where    A =     the number of authorized but unissued shares of Counterparty that are not reserved for future issuance on the date of the determination of the Capped Number; and
Annex A – Page 3





    B =     the maximum number of Shares required to be delivered to third parties if Counterparty elected Net Share Settlement of all transactions in the Shares (other than the Transaction under this Confirmation) with all third parties that are then currently outstanding and unexercised.
Reserved Shares” means 7,000,000 Shares.
If at any time, as a result of this paragraph 7, Counterparty fails to deliver to Wells Fargo any Settlement Shares, Counterparty shall, to the extent that Counterparty has at such time authorized but unissued Shares not reserved for other purposes, promptly notify Wells Fargo thereof and deliver to Wells Fargo a number of Shares not previously delivered as a result of this paragraph 7. Counterparty agrees to use its best efforts to cause the number of authorized but unissued Shares to be increased, if necessary, to an amount sufficient to permit Counterparty to fulfill its obligation to deliver any Settlement Shares.
