	Re:	Additional Convertible Bond Hedge Transaction 

 Dear Ladies and Gentlemen: 

The purpose of this communication (this “Confirmation”) is to set forth the terms and conditions of the above-referenced
transaction entered into on the Trade Date specified below (the “Transaction”) between Bank of America, N.A. (“Dealer”) and NuVasive, Inc. (“Counterparty”). This communication constitutes a
“Confirmation” as referred to in the Agreement specified below. 
 1. This Confirmation is subject to, and incorporates, the
definitions and provisions of the 2006 ISDA Definitions (the “2006 Definitions”) and the definitions and provisions of the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “Equity Definitions”, and together with the
2006 Definitions, the “Definitions”), in each case as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”). Certain defined terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the
Indenture to be dated as of March 16, 2016 between Counterparty and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Indenture”), relating to the USD550,000,000 principal amount of 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due
2021 (the “Base Convertible Securities”) and the additional USD100,000,000 principal amount of 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2021 issued pursuant to the option to purchase additional convertible securities exercised on the date
hereof (the “Optional Convertible Securities” and, together with the Base Convertible Securities, the “Convertible Securities”). In the event of any inconsistency between the terms defined in the Indenture and this
Confirmation, this Confirmation shall govern. For the avoidance of doubt, references herein to sections of, or definitions set forth in, the Indenture are based on the draft of the Indenture most recently reviewed by the parties at the time of
execution of this Confirmation. If any relevant sections of, or definitions set forth in, the Indenture are changed, added or renumbered between the execution of this Confirmation and the execution of the Indenture, the parties will amend this
Confirmation in good faith to preserve the economic intent of the parties, as evidenced by such draft of the Indenture. Subject to the foregoing, the parties acknowledge that references to the Indenture herein are references to the Indenture as in
effect on the date of its execution and if the Indenture is, or the Convertible Securities are, amended, modified or supplemented following the date hereof or the date of their execution, respectively, any such amendment, modification or supplement
(other than any amendment, modification or supplement pursuant to a Merger Supplemental Indenture (as defined below)) will be disregarded for purposes of this Confirmation unless the parties agree otherwise in writing. 

Counterparty is hereby advised, and Counterparty acknowledges, that Dealer has engaged in, or refrained from engaging in, substantial
financial transactions and has taken other material actions in 







 
reliance upon the parties’ entry into the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates on the terms and conditions set forth below. 

This Confirmation evidences a complete and binding agreement between Dealer and Counterparty as to the terms of the Transaction to which this
Confirmation relates. This Confirmation shall be subject to an agreement (the “Agreement”) in the form of the 1992 ISDA Master Agreement (Multicurrency—Cross Border) as if Dealer and Counterparty had executed an agreement in
such form on the date hereof (but without any Schedule except for (i) the election of Loss and Second Method and US Dollars (“USD”) as the Termination Currency, (ii) the replacement of the word “third” in the
last line of Section 5(a)(i) of the Agreement with the word “first”, and (iii) the election that the “Cross Default” provisions of Section 5(a)(vi) of the Agreement shall apply to Counterparty with a
“Threshold Amount” of USD30 million). 
 All provisions contained in, or incorporated by reference to, the Agreement will govern
this Confirmation except as expressly modified herein. In the event of any inconsistency among this Confirmation, the Equity Definitions, the 2006 Definitions or the Agreement, the following shall prevail in the order of precedence indicated:
(i) this Confirmation; (ii) the Equity Definitions; (iii) the 2006 Definitions; and (iv) the Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, except to the extent of an express conflict, the application of any provision of this
Confirmation, the Agreement, the Equity Definitions or the 2006 Definitions shall not be construed to exclude or limit any other provision of this Confirmation, the Agreement, the Equity Definitions or the 2006 Definitions. 

The Transaction hereunder shall be the sole Transaction under the Agreement. If there exists any ISDA Master Agreement between Dealer and
Counterparty or any confirmation or other agreement between Dealer and Counterparty pursuant to which an ISDA Master Agreement is deemed to exist between Dealer and Counterparty, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in such ISDA Master
Agreement, such confirmation or agreement or any other agreement to which Dealer and Counterparty are parties, the Transaction shall not be considered a Transaction under, or otherwise governed by, such existing or deemed ISDA Master Agreement.

 6 









					
		  		  	Securities for such Conversion Date pursuant to Section 4.02(a)(ii)(B) or 4.02(a)(ii)(C) of the Indenture, determined, for each of clauses (i) and (ii), by the Calculation Agent (by reference to such Sections of the Indenture) as if
Counterparty had elected to satisfy its conversion obligation in respect of such Relevant Convertible Securities by the Applicable Settlement Method, notwithstanding any different actual election by Counterparty with respect to the settlement of

necessary to eliminate such excess.

entitled to receive additional Shares and/or cash as a result of adjustments to the Conversion Rate pursuant to a Fundamental Change Adjustment, the Delivery Obligation shall include the Applicable Percentage of such additional Shares and/or cash;
provided that if the sum of (i) the product of (a) the number of Shares (if any) included in the Delivery Obligation per exercised Option and (b) the Share Obligation Value Price and (ii) the amount of cash (if any) included in the Delivery
Obligation per exercised Option would otherwise exceed the amount per Option, as determined by the Calculation Agent, that would be payable by Dealer under Section 6 of the Agreement if (x) the relevant Conversion Date were an Early Termination Date
resulting from an Additional Termination Event with respect to which the Transaction was the sole Affected Transaction and Counterparty was the sole Affected Party and (y) the provisions of the Indenture relating to the Fundamental Change Adjustment
were deleted, then such number of Shares and such amount of cash shall


  
 7 









					
		  		  	be proportionately reduced to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess.
			
		  	Applicable Settlement Method:	  	For any Relevant Convertible Securities, if (i) Counterparty has notified Dealer in the related Notice of Exercise (or in the Notice of Final Convertible Security Settlement Method or Notice of Early Redemption, as the case may be)
that it has elected to satisfy its conversion obligation in respect of such Relevant Convertible Securities in cash or in a combination of cash and Shares in accordance with Section 4.02(a) of the Indenture (a “Cash Election”) with
a “Specified Dollar Amount” (as defined in the Indenture) of at least USD1,000 and (ii) such Notice of Exercise (or such Notice of Final Convertible Security Settlement Method or Notice of Early Redemption, as the case may be) contains all
of the Settlement Method Election Provisions, the Applicable Settlement Method shall be the settlement method actually so elected by Counterparty in respect of such Relevant Convertible Securities (the “Convertible Securities Settlement
Method”); otherwise, the Applicable Settlement Method shall assume Counterparty had made a Cash Election with respect to such Relevant Convertible Securities with a “Specified Dollar Amount” (as defined in the Indenture) of
USD1,000 per Relevant Convertible Security.
			
		  	Cash Settlement Averaging Period:	  	The 60 “Trading Days” (as defined in the Indenture) commencing on (I) the second “Trading Day” (as defined in the Indenture) after the Conversion Date for conversions with a related Conversion Date occurring
prior to the Final Conversion Period or (II) the 62nd “Scheduled Trading Day” (as defined in the Indenture) prior to the “Maturity Date” (as defined in the Indenture) for conversions with a related Conversion Date occurring
during the Final Conversion Period; provided that if Counterparty has at any time delivered a Notice of Early Redemption to Dealer, the Cash Settlement Averaging Period shall be the 60 “Trading Days” (as defined in the Indenture)
commencing on the 62nd “Scheduled Trading Day” (as defined in the Indenture) prior to the Scheduled Redemption Date for conversions with a related Conversion Date occurring during the Redemption Conversion Period.
			
		  	Settlement Method Election Provisions:	  	In order for the Applicable Settlement Method to be the Convertible Securities Settlement Method in accordance with “Applicable Settlement Method” above, the related Notice of Exercise (or Notice of Final Convertible
Security Settlement Method or Notice of Early Redemption, as the case may be) must contain in writing the following representations and warranties from Counterparty to Dealer as of such notice delivery
date:


  
 8 









					
		  		  	(i) none of Counterparty and its officers or directors, or any person that controls, potentially controls, or otherwise exercises influence over, Counterparty’s decision to elect the Convertible Security Settlement Method is
aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Counterparty or the Shares;
			
		  		  	(ii) Counterparty is electing the Convertible Security Settlement Method in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade compliance with the U.S. federal securities laws; Counterparty is not electing the Convertible
Security Settlement Method to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible
into or exchangeable for Shares) or otherwise in violation of the Exchange Act; and Counterparty has not entered into or altered any hedging transaction relating to the Shares corresponding to or offsetting the Transaction;
			
		  		  	(iii) Counterparty has the power to make such election and to execute and deliver any documentation relating to such election that it is required by this Confirmation to deliver and to perform its obligations under this Confirmation
and has taken all necessary action to authorize such election, execution, delivery and performance;
			
		  		  	(iv) such election and performance of its obligations under this Confirmation 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; and
			
		  		  	(v) any transaction that Dealer makes with respect to the Shares during the period beginning at the time that Counterparty delivers such notice and ending at the close of business on the final day of the Cash Settlement Averaging
Period shall be made by Dealer at Dealer’s sole discretion for Dealer’s own account and Counterparty shall not have, and shall not attempt to exercise, any influence over how, when, whether or at what price Dealer effects such
transactions, including, without limitation, the prices paid or received by Dealer per Share pursuant to such transactions, or whether such transactions are made on any securities exchange or
privately.

with a single notice of the aggregate number of Shares and/or amount of cash included in the Total Convertible Share Obligation Value for all Exercise Dates occurring during such period (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that the
requirement of Counterparty to deliver such notice shall not limit Counterparty’s obligations with respect to a Notice of Exercise, Notice of Final Convertible Security Settlement Method or Notice of Early Redemption, as the case may be, as set
forth above, in any way).
			
		  	Net Convertible Share Obligation Value:	  	With respect to Relevant Convertible Securities as to a Conversion Date, (i) the Total Convertible Share Obligation Value of such Relevant Convertible Securities for such Conversion Date minus (ii) the aggregate principal
amount of such Relevant Convertible Securities for such Conversion Date.

that Counterparty is obligated to deliver to the holder(s) of Relevant Convertible Securities for such Conversion Date pursuant to the Indenture (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any cash payable by Counterparty in lieu of fractional Shares);
provided that the Total Convertible Share Obligation Value shall be determined excluding any Shares and/or cash that Counterparty is obligated to deliver to holder(s) of the Relevant Convertible Securities as a direct or indirect result of
any adjustments to the Conversion Rate pursuant to a Discretionary Adjustment and any interest payment that Counterparty is (or would have been) obligated to deliver to holder(s) of the Relevant Convertible Securities for such Conversion
Date.
			
		  	Share Obligation Value Price:	  	The opening price as displayed under the heading “Op” on Bloomberg page “NUVA.Q <Equity>” (or any successor thereto) on the applicable Settlement Date or other date of

 10 









					
		  	Other Applicable Provisions:	  	To the extent Dealer is obligated to deliver Shares hereunder, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9 and 9.11 of the Equity Definitions will be applicable as if “Physical Settlement” applied to the Transaction; provided
that the Representation and Agreement contained in Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions shall be modified by excluding any representations therein relating to restrictions, obligations, limitations or requirements under applicable securities
laws that exist as a result of the fact that Counterparty is the issuer of the Shares.
			
		  	Restricted Certificated Shares:	  	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Equity Definitions, Dealer may, in whole or in part, deliver Shares required to be delivered to Counterparty hereunder in certificated form in lieu of delivery through the Clearance

line thereof.
		
	Adjustments:	  	
			
		  	Method of Adjustment:	  	 Notwithstanding Section 11.2 of the Equity Definitions, upon the occurrence of any event or condition set forth in Section 4.05(a), 4.05(b),
4.05(c), 4.05(d), 4.05(e) or 4.06 of the Indenture (a “Potential Adjustment Event”) that the Calculation Agent determines (by reference to such Section) would result in an adjustment under the Indenture, the Calculation Agent shall
make a corresponding adjustment in respect of any one or more of the Strike Price, the Number of Options, the Option Entitlement and any other term relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment of the Transaction, subject to “Discretionary
Adjustments” below. Immediately upon the occurrence of any Potential Adjustment Event, Counterparty shall notify the Calculation Agent of such Potential Adjustment Event; and once the adjustments to be made to the terms of the Indenture and the
Convertible Securities in respect of such Potential Adjustment Event have been determined, Counterparty shall immediately notify the Calculation Agent in writing of the details of such adjustments.

 
 For the avoidance of doubt, Dealer shall not have any payment or delivery obligation
hereunder in respect of, and no adjustment shall be made to the terms of the Transaction on account of, (x) any distribution of cash, property or securities by Counterparty to the holders of Convertible Securities (upon conversion or otherwise) or
(y) any other transaction in which holders of Convertible Securities are entitled to participate, in each case, in lieu of an adjustment under the Indenture in respect of a Potential



  
 11 









					
		  		  	Adjustment Event (including, without limitation, under the third sentence of the first paragraph of Section 4.05(c) of the Indenture or the third sentence of Section 4.05(d) of the Indenture).
			
		  	Discretionary Adjustments:	  	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Equity Definitions, if the Calculation Agent in good faith and while exercising commercially reasonable discretion disagrees with any adjustment under the Indenture that
involves an exercise of discretion by Counterparty or its board of directors (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 4.06 of the Indenture or pursuant to Section 4.07 of the Indenture or any supplemental indenture entered into thereunder
(a “Merger Supplemental Indenture”) or in connection with the determination of the fair value of any securities, property, rights or other assets), then the Calculation Agent will determine the adjustment to be made to any
one or more of the Strike Price, Number of Options, Option Entitlement and any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment of or under the Transaction in a commercially reasonable manner and based on a commercially reasonable
Hedge Position and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Delivery Obligation shall be calculated on the basis of such adjustments by the Calculation Agent.
		
	Extraordinary Events: Merger Events:	  	Notwithstanding Section 12.1(b) of the Equity Definitions, “Merger Event” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 4.07(a) of the Indenture.
			
		  	Consequences of Merger Events:	  	Notwithstanding Section 12.2 of the Equity Definitions, upon the occurrence of a Merger Event, the Calculation Agent shall make an adjustment to the terms relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment of the Transaction
corresponding to the adjustment required under Section 4.07(a) of the Indenture in respect of such Merger Event, as determined by the Calculation Agent (by reference to such Section), subject to “Discretionary Adjustments” above;
provided that such adjustment shall be made without regard to any adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to a Fundamental Change Adjustment or a Discretionary Adjustment; and provided further that the Calculation Agent may make
such further adjustments to the terms of the Transaction as may be necessary to preserve the fair value of the Transaction as a result of any adjustment referenced in this paragraph and, for the avoidance of doubt, any such further adjustments shall
be taken into account in calculating the Delivery Obligation.
			
		  		  	If, in respect of any Merger Event to which the immediately preceding paragraph applies, the adjustments to be made in accordance with such


  
 12 









					
		  		  	paragraph would result in Counterparty being different from the issuer of the Shares, then with respect to such Merger Event, as a condition precedent to the adjustments contemplated in the immediately preceding paragraph, Dealer,
the Issuer of the Affected Shares and the entity that will be the Issuer of the New Shares shall, prior to the Merger Date, have entered into such documentation containing representations, warranties and agreements relating to securities law and
other issues as requested by Dealer (which may include, without limitation, agreements relating to “tacking” and “holding period” related considerations under U.S. securities law and credit exposure assumed by Dealer as the
result of such Merger Event), that Dealer has determined, in its reasonable discretion, to be reasonably necessary or appropriate to allow Dealer to continue as a party to the Transaction, as adjusted under the immediately preceding paragraph, and
to preserve its hedging or hedge unwind activities in connection with the Transaction, assuming Dealer maintains or unwinds a commercially reasonable Hedge Position, in a manner compliant with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory
requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer (whether or not such requirements or related policies and procedures are imposed by law or have been voluntarily adopted by Dealer, but so long as such requirements or
related policies and procedures are similarly applicable to transactions similar to the Transaction and consistently applied), and if such conditions are not met or if the Calculation Agent determines that no adjustment under the immediately
preceding paragraph will produce a commercially reasonable result, then the consequences set forth in Section 12.2(e)(ii) of the Equity Definitions shall apply to such Merger Event (as if Merger Event were as defined in Section 12.1(b) of the Equity
Definitions.

 7. Representations, Warranties and Agreements: 

(a) In addition to the representations and warranties in the Agreement and those contained elsewhere herein, Counterparty represents and
warrants to and for the benefit of, and agrees with, Dealer as follows:

Notice of Share Termination under (and as defined in) Section 8(c) below, (A) none of Counterparty and its officers and directors is aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Counterparty or the Shares and (B) all reports
and other documents filed by Counterparty with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) when considered as a whole (with the more 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. 
 (ii) (A) On the Trade
Date, the Shares or securities that are convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for Shares, are not subject to a “restricted period,” as such term is defined in Regulation M under the Exchange Act (“Regulation M”)
and (B) Counterparty shall not engage in any “distribution,” as such term is defined in Regulation M, other than a distribution meeting the requirements of the exceptions set forth in sections 101(b)(10) and 102(b)(7) of Regulation M,
until the second Exchange Business Day immediately following the Trade Date. 
 (iii) Without limiting the generality of
Section 13.1 of the Equity Definitions, Counterparty acknowledges that neither Dealer 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 (or any successor issue statements). 
 (iv) Without limiting the generality
of Section 3(a)(iii) of the Agreement, the Transaction will not violate Rule 13e-1 or Rule 13e-4 under the Exchange Act. 

(v) Prior to the Trade Date, Counterparty shall deliver to Dealer a resolution of Counterparty’s board of directors
authorizing the Transaction, and approving the Transaction and any related hedging activity for purposes of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, and such other certificate or certificates as Dealer shall reasonably request. 

(vi) Counterparty is not entering into this Confirmation to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any
security convertible into or exchangeable for Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for Shares) or otherwise in violation of the Exchange Act. 

  
 17 








 (vii) 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. 

(viii) On each of the Trade Date and the Premium Payment Date, Counterparty is not “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”)) and Counterparty would be able to purchase the Number of Shares in compliance with the laws of the
jurisdiction of Counterparty’s incorporation. 
 (ix) The representations and warranties of Counterparty set forth in
Section 3 of the Agreement and Section 1 of the Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 10, 2016, among Counterparty and Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as representatives
of the Initial Purchasers party thereto (the “Purchase Agreement”), are true and correct as of the Trade Date and the Effective Date and are hereby deemed to be repeated to Dealer as if set forth herein. 

(x) To the knowledge of Counterparty, no state or local (including non-U.S. jurisdictions) law, rule, regulation or regulatory
order applicable to the Shares would give rise to any reporting, consent, registration or other requirement (including without limitation a requirement to obtain prior approval from any person or entity) as a result of Dealer or its affiliates
owning or holding (however defined) Shares. 
 (xi) Counterparty (A) is capable of evaluating investment risks
independently, both in general and with regard to all transactions and investment strategies involving a security or securities; (B) will exercise independent judgment in evaluating the recommendations of any broker-dealer or its associated
persons, unless it has otherwise notified the broker-dealer in writing; and (C) has total assets of at least USD50 million. 
 (b) Each
of Dealer and Counterparty agrees and represents that it is an “eligible contract participant” as defined in Section 1a(18) of the U.S. Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, and is entering into the Transaction as principal (and not as
agent or in any other capacity, fiduciary or otherwise) and not for the benefit of any third party. 
 (c) Each of Dealer and Counterparty
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”), by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) thereof. Accordingly,
Counterparty represents and warrants to Dealer that (i) it has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Transaction and is able to bear a total loss of its investment and its investments in and liabilities in
respect of the Transaction, which it understands are not readily marketable, are not disproportionate to its net worth, and it is able to bear any loss in connection with the Transaction, including the loss of its entire investment in the

distribution or resale thereof, (iv) the assignment, transfer or other disposition of the Transaction has not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act and is restricted under this Confirmation, the Securities Act and state
securities laws, and (v) its financial condition is such that it has no need for liquidity with respect to its investment in the Transaction and no need to dispose of any portion thereof to satisfy any existing or contemplated undertaking or
indebtedness and is capable of assessing the merits of and understanding (on its own behalf or through independent professional advice), and understands and accepts, the terms, conditions and risks of the Transaction. 

(d) Each of Dealer and Counterparty agrees and acknowledges that Dealer is a “financial institution” and “financial
participant” within the meaning of Sections 101(22) and 101(22A) of the Bankruptcy Code. The parties hereto further agree and acknowledge (A) that this Confirmation is a “securities contract,” as such term is defined in
Section 741(7) 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 “settlement payment” within the meaning of Section 546 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (B) that Dealer is 

  
 18 








 
entitled to the protections afforded by, among other sections, Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(27), 362(o), 546(e), 546(j), 548(d)(2), 555 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code. 

(e) As a condition to the effectiveness of the Transaction, Counterparty shall deliver to Dealer (i) an incumbency certificate, dated as
of the Premium Payment Date, of Counterparty in customary form and (ii) an opinion of counsel, dated as of the Premium Payment Date and reasonably acceptable to Dealer in form and substance, with respect to the matters set forth in
Section 3(a) of the Agreement and Section 7(a)(vii) hereof and such other matters as Dealer may reasonably request. In addition, in connection with the entry into or consummation of any Inversion Transaction, Counterparty shall deliver to
Dealer an opinion of counsel, dated as of the date of such Inversion Transaction and reasonably acceptable to Dealer in form and substance, with respect to the matters set forth in Section 3(a) of the Agreement and such other matters as Dealer
may reasonably request (as if references therein to (i) “execute” and “deliver” were replaced with “assume” and (ii) “execution, delivery” were replaced with “assumption”).
“Inversion Transaction” means any Merger Event (as such term is defined in Section 12.1(b) of the Equity Definitions without regard to any amendment to such definition in this Confirmation), reincorporation of Counterparty,
corporate inversion of Counterparty or similar transaction pursuant to which (x) the consideration for the Shares includes (or, at the option of a holder of Shares, may include) shares of an entity or person that is not a corporation or is not
organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, (y) the Counterparty following such Merger Event, reincorporation of Counterparty or corporate inversion of Counterparty is organized in a
jurisdiction other than the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia or (z) the Counterparty following such Merger Event, reincorporation of Counterparty, corporate inversion of Counterparty or similar transaction will not
be a corporation. 
 (f) Counterparty understands that notwithstanding any other relationship between Counterparty and Dealer and its
affiliates, in connection with this Transaction and any other over-the-counter derivative transactions between Counterparty and Dealer or its affiliates, Dealer or its affiliates is acting as principal and is not a fiduciary or advisor in respect of
any such transaction, including any entry, exercise, amendment, unwind or termination thereof. 
 (g) Counterparty represents and warrants
that it has received, read and understands the OTC Options Risk Disclosure Statement and a copy of the most recent disclosure pamphlet prepared by The Options Clearing Corporation entitled “Characteristics and Risks of Standardized
Options”. 
 (h) Each party acknowledges and agrees to be bound by the Conduct Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority,
Inc. applicable to transactions in options, and further agrees not to violate the position and exercise limits set forth therein. 

(i) Tax Matters.  

(A) Withholding Tax imposed on payments to non-US counterparties under the United States Foreign Account Tax Compliance
Act. “Tax” and “Indemnifiable Tax”, each as defined in Section 14 of the Agreement, shall not include any U.S. federal withholding tax imposed or collected pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation,
rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such Sections of the Code (a “FATCA Withholding Tax”). For the avoidance of doubt, a FATCA Withholding Tax
is a Tax the deduction or withholding of which is required by applicable law for the purposes of Section 2(d) of the Agreement. 

(B) HIRE Act. “Tax” and “Indemnifiable Tax”, each as defined in Section 14 of the Agreement,
shall not include any tax imposed on payments treated as dividends from sources within the United States under Section 871(m) of the Code or any regulations issued thereunder. 

(C) Tax documentation. For the purpose of Section 4(a)(i) of the Agreement, Counterparty shall provide to Dealer a
valid U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or any successor thereto, (i) on or before the date of execution of this Confirmation and (ii) promptly 

  
 19 








 
upon learning that any such tax form previously provided by Counterparty has become obsolete or incorrect. Additionally, Counterparty shall, promptly upon request by Dealer, provide such other
tax forms and documents reasonably requested by Dealer. For purposes of Section 4(a)(i) of the Agreement, Dealer shall provide to Counterparty a valid U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or applicable U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8
(or any successor thereto), (i) on or before the date of execution of this Confirmation and (ii) promptly upon learning that any such tax form previously provided by Dealer has become obsolete or incorrect. 

(D) Tax Representations. For the purpose of Section 3(f) of the Agreement, Counterparty represents that
(i) Counterparty is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is organized under the laws of the State of Delaware and (ii) Counterparty is a “U.S. person” (as that term is used in section 1.1441-4(a)(3)(ii) of
United States Treasury Regulations) for U.S. federal income tax purposes and an exempt recipient under Treasury Regulation Section 1.6049-4(c)(1)(ii). 

8. Other Provisions: 
 (a)
Right to Extend. Dealer may postpone or add, in whole or in part, any Exercise Date or Settlement Date or any other date of valuation or delivery by Dealer, with respect to some or all of the relevant Options (in which event the Calculation
Agent shall make appropriate adjustments to the Delivery Obligation), if Dealer determines, in its commercially reasonable discretion, that such extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate to preserve Dealer’s commercially reasonable
hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions in the cash market, the stock borrow market or other relevant market or to enable Dealer to effect purchases of Shares or Share Termination Delivery Units in
connection with its commercially reasonable hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if Dealer were Counterparty or an affiliated purchaser of Counterparty, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or
self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures (whether or not such requirements, policies or procedures are imposed by law or have been voluntarily adopted by Dealer). 

(b) Additional Termination Event. The occurrence of an event of default with respect to Counterparty under the terms of the Convertible
Securities as set forth in Section 7.01 of the Indenture shall constitute an Additional Termination Event with respect to which the Transaction is the sole Affected Transaction and Counterparty is the sole Affected Party, and Dealer shall be
the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement and to determine the amount payable pursuant to Section 6(e) of the Agreement. 

(c) Alternative Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events. If Dealer shall owe
Counterparty any amount pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (a “Payment Obligation”), Counterparty shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to require Dealer to satisfy any such Payment Obligation by the Share
Termination Alternative (as defined below) by giving irrevocable telephonic notice to Dealer, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day (which written confirmation shall contain the representation and warranty set forth in
Section 7(a)(1)), no later than 9:30 A.M., New York City time, on the relevant merger date, Announcement Date, Early Termination Date or date of cancellation or termination in respect of an Extraordinary Event, as applicable (“Notice of
Share Termination”); provided that if Counterparty does not elect to require Dealer to satisfy its Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative, Dealer shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to elect to satisfy its
Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative, notwithstanding Counterparty’s failure to elect or election to the contrary; and provided further that Counterparty shall not have the right to so elect (but, for the avoidance of
doubt, Dealer shall have the right to so elect) in the event of (i) an Insolvency, a Nationalization or a Merger Event, 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 Defaulting Party or a Termination Event in which Counterparty is the Affected Party or an Extraordinary Event, which Event of Default, Termination Event or Extraordinary Event resulted from an event or
events within Counterparty’s control. Upon such Notice of Share Termination, the following provisions shall apply on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the relevant merger date, 

  
 20 








 Announcement Date, Early Termination Date or date of cancellation or termination in respect of an Extraordinary
Event, as applicable: 
  

											
		
	Share Termination Alternative:	  	If applicable, means that Dealer shall deliver to Counterparty the Share Termination Delivery Property on the date on which the Payment Obligation would otherwise be due pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement or
such later date or dates as Dealer may commercially reasonably determine (the “Share Termination Payment Date”) taking into account commercially reasonable hedging or hedge unwind activity, in satisfaction of the
Payment Obligation.
		
	Share Termination Delivery	  	
	Property:	  	A number of Share Termination Delivery Units, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the Payment Obligation divided by the Share Termination Unit Price. The Calculation Agent shall adjust the Share Termination
Delivery Property by replacing any fractional portion of the aggregate amount of a security therein with an amount of cash equal to the value of such fractional security based on the values used to calculate the Share Termination Unit
Price.
		
	Share Termination Unit Price:	  	The value of property contained in one Share Termination Delivery Unit on the date such Share Termination Delivery Units are to be delivered as Share Termination Delivery Property, as determined by the Calculation Agent
and notified by the Calculation Agent to Dealer at the time of notification of the Payment Obligation.
		
	Share Termination Delivery Unit:	  	In the case of a Termination Event (other than on account of an Insolvency, Nationalization or Merger Event), Event of Default, Delisting or Additional Disruption Event, one Share or, in the case of an Insolvency,
Nationalization or Merger Event, one Share or a unit consisting of the number or amount of each type of property received by a holder of one Share (without consideration of any requirement to pay cash or other consideration in lieu of fractional
amounts of any securities) in such Insolvency, Nationalization or Merger Event, as applicable. If such Insolvency, Nationalization or Merger 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.
		
	Failure to Deliver:	  	Applicable
		
	Other Applicable Provisions:	  	If Share Termination Alternative is applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9 and 9.11 of the Equity Definitions will be applicable as if “Physical Settlement” applied to the Transaction, except that all
references to “Shares” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Delivery Units”; provided that the Representation and Agreement contained in Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions shall be modified by excluding
any representations therein relating to restrictions, obligations, limitations or requirements under applicable securities laws as a result of the fact that Counterparty is the issuer of any Share Termination Delivery Units (or any part
thereof).


  
 21 








 (d) Disposition of Hedge Shares. Counterparty hereby agrees that if, in the good faith
reasonable judgment of Dealer, the Shares (the “Hedge Shares”) acquired by Dealer for the purpose of hedging its obligations pursuant to the Transaction in a commercially reasonable manner cannot be sold in the U.S. public market by
Dealer without registration under the Securities Act, Counterparty shall, at its election: (i) in order to allow Dealer to sell the Hedge Shares in a registered offering, make available to Dealer an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act to cover the resale of such Hedge Shares and (A) enter into an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Dealer, substantially in the form of an underwriting agreement for a registered offering, (B) provide
accountant’s “comfort” letters in customary form for registered offerings of equity securities, (C) provide disclosure opinions of nationally recognized outside counsel to Counterparty reasonably acceptable to Dealer,
(D) provide other customary opinions, certificates and closing documents customary in form for registered offerings of equity securities and (E) afford Dealer a reasonable opportunity to conduct a “due diligence” investigation
with respect to Counterparty customary in scope for underwritten offerings of equity securities; provided that if Counterparty elects clause (i) above but the items referred to therein are not completed in a timely manner, or if Dealer,
in its sole 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 8(d) shall apply at the election of Counterparty; (ii) in order to allow Dealer to sell the Hedge Shares in a private placement, enter into a private placement agreement substantially similar to private placement
purchase agreements customary for private placements of equity securities, in form and substance satisfactory to Dealer, including customary representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to
Dealer, due diligence rights (for Dealer or any designated buyer of the Hedge Shares from Dealer), and best efforts obligations to provide opinions and certificates and such other documentation as is customary for private placements agreements, all
commercially reasonably acceptable to Dealer (in which case, the Calculation Agent shall make any adjustments to the terms of the Transaction that are necessary to compensate Dealer for any commercially reasonable discount from the public market
price of the Shares incurred on the sale of Hedge Shares in a private placement); or (iii) purchase the Hedge Shares from Dealer at the “Daily VWAP” (as defined in the Indenture) on such Exchange Business Days, and in the amounts,
commercially reasonably requested by Dealer. This Section 8(d) shall survive the termination, expiration or early unwind of the Transaction. 

(e) Repurchase and Conversion Rate Adjustment Notices. Counterparty shall, at least two Exchange Business Days prior to any day on which
Counterparty effects any repurchase of Shares or consummates or otherwise engages in any transaction or event (a “Conversion Rate Adjustment Event”) that could reasonably be expected to lead to an increase in the Conversion Rate,
give Dealer a written notice of such repurchase or Conversion Rate Adjustment Event (a “Repurchase Notice”) on such day if, following such repurchase or Conversion Rate Adjustment Event, the Notice Percentage would reasonably be
expected to be (i) greater than 13.62% and (ii) greater by 0.5% than the Notice Percentage included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice (or, in the case of the first such Repurchase Notice, greater than the Notice Percentage as
of the date hereof). The “Notice Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is the Number of Shares plus the number of shares underlying any other convertible bond hedge transactions
or call options sold by Dealer to Counterparty and the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day. In the event that Counterparty fails to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in
this Section 8(e) then Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Dealer, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons (Dealer and each such person being an “Indemnified
Party”) from and against any and all losses (including losses relating to the Dealer’s hedging activities as a consequence of becoming, or of the risk of becoming, a Section 16 “insider”, including without limitation,
any forbearance from hedging activities or cessation of hedging activities and any losses in connection therewith with respect to this Transaction), claims, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), joint or several, to which such
Indemnified Party may become subject under applicable securities laws, including without limitation, Section 16 of the Exchange Act or under any state or federal law, regulation or regulatory order, relating to or arising out of such failure.
If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnified Party, then Counterparty shall contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to the amount paid or payable
by the Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or 

  
 22 








 
liability. In addition, Counterparty will reimburse any Indemnified Party for all expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) as they are incurred (after notice to Counterparty) in
connection with the investigation of, preparation for or defense or settlement of any pending or threatened claim or any action, suit or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto and whether or not such
claim, action, suit or proceeding is initiated or brought by or on behalf of Counterparty. This indemnity shall survive the completion of the Transaction contemplated by this Confirmation and any assignment and delegation of the Transaction made
pursuant to this Confirmation or the Agreement and shall inure to the benefit of any permitted assignee of Dealer. 
 (f) Transfer and
Assignment. Either party may transfer or assign any of its rights or obligations under the Transaction with the prior written consent of the non-transferring party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that
Dealer may transfer or assign without any consent of Counterparty its rights and obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, to any person, or any person whose obligations would be guaranteed by a person, in either case, of credit quality equivalent
to Dealer’s (or its ultimate parent’s); provided further that, in the case of a transfer by Dealer, (1) Counterparty will not be required to pay the transferee or Dealer on any payment date an amount under
Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement greater than an amount that Counterparty would have been required to pay to Dealer in the absence of such transfer or assignment and (2) as of the date of such transfer, and giving effect thereto, the
transferee will not be required to withhold or deduct on account of Tax from any payments under the Agreement or will be required to gross up for such Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement. If at any time at which (1) the Equity
Percentage exceeds 8% or (2) Dealer, Dealer Group (as defined below) or any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Dealer or Dealer Group (Dealer, Dealer Group or any such person, a “Dealer Person”)
under Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law or other federal, state or local law, rule, regulation or regulatory order or organizational documents or contracts of Counterparty 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 in excess of a number of Shares equal to (x) the number of Shares that would give
rise to reporting, registration, filing or notification obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval by a state or federal regulator) of a Dealer Person under Applicable Restrictions and with respect to which such
requirements have not been met or the relevant approval has not been received or that would subject a Dealer Person to restrictions (including restrictions relating to business combinations or other designated transactions), or have any other
adverse effect on a Dealer Person, under Applicable Restrictions minus (y) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding on the date of determination (either such condition described in clause (1) or (2), an “Excess Ownership
Position”), Dealer, in its discretion, is unable to effect a transfer or assignment to a third party after its commercially reasonable efforts on pricing and terms and within a time period reasonably acceptable to Dealer such that an Excess
Ownership Position no longer exists, Dealer may designate any Scheduled Trading Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion (the “Terminated Portion”) of the Transaction, such that an Excess Ownership Position would
no longer exist following the resulting partial termination of the Transaction (after taking into account commercially reasonable adjustments to Dealer’s commercially reasonable Hedge Positions from such partial termination). In the event that
Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction, a payment or delivery shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement or Section 8(c) of this Confirmation as if (i) an Early
Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Terminated Portion of the Transaction, (ii) Counterparty were the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination, (iii) such
portion of the Transaction were the only Terminated Transaction and (iv) Dealer were the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement and to determine the amount payable pursuant to
Section 6(e) of the Agreement. The “Equity Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Dealer and any of its affiliates subject to
aggregation with Dealer for purposes of the “beneficial ownership” test under Section 13 of the Exchange Act and all persons who may form a “group” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act) with Dealer
(collectively, “Dealer Group”) “beneficially own” (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act) without duplication on such day and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on
such day. In the case of a transfer or assignment by Counterparty of its rights and obligations hereunder and under the Agreement, in whole or in part (any such Options so transferred or assigned, the “Transfer Options”), to any
party, withholding of such consent by 

  
 23 








 Dealer shall not be considered unreasonable if such transfer or assignment does not meet the reasonable
conditions that Dealer may impose including, but not limited, to the following conditions: 
 (A) With respect to any
Transfer Options, Counterparty shall not be released from its notice and indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 8(e) or any obligations under Section 2 (regarding Extraordinary Events) or 8(d) of this Confirmation; 

(B) Any Transfer Options shall only be transferred or assigned to a third party that is a United States person (as defined in
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)); 
 (C) Such transfer or assignment shall be
effected on terms, including any reasonable undertakings by such third party (including, but not limited to, undertakings with respect to compliance with applicable securities laws in a manner that, in the reasonable judgment of Dealer, will not
expose Dealer to material risks under applicable securities laws) and execution of any documentation and delivery of legal opinions with respect to securities laws and other matters by such third party and Counterparty as are requested by, and
reasonably satisfactory to, Dealer; 
 (D) Dealer shall not, as a result of such transfer and assignment, be required to pay
the transferee on any payment date an amount under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement greater than an amount that Dealer would have been required to pay to Counterparty in the absence of such transfer and assignment; 

(E) An Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or Termination Event shall not occur as a result of such transfer and
assignment; 
 (F) Without limiting the generality of clause (B), Counterparty shall have caused the transferee to make such
Payee Tax Representations and to provide such tax documentation as may be reasonably requested by Dealer to permit Dealer to determine that results described in clauses (D) and (E) will not occur upon or after such transfer and assignment;
and 
 (G) Counterparty shall be responsible for all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable counsel fees,
incurred by Dealer in connection with such transfer or assignment. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the
contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to or from Counterparty, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such shares or other securities and
otherwise to perform Dealer obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations; provided that (1) Counterparty will not be required to pay any such designated affiliate or Dealer on any payment
date an amount under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement greater than an amount that Counterparty would have been required to pay to Dealer in the absence of such designation and (2) except in the case of a designation of an affiliate that
is limited to delivery of Shares as agent for Dealer, the designated affiliate will not be required to withhold or deduct on account of Tax from any payments under the Agreement or will be required to gross up for such Tax under
Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such performance. 

(g) Delivery of Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Dealer 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. 

  
 24 








 (h) Disclosure. Effective from the date of commencement of discussions concerning the
Transaction, Counterparty and each of its employees, representatives, or other agents may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the Transaction and all materials of any kind
(including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to Counterparty relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. 
 (i) No
Netting and Set-off. The provisions of Section 2(c) of the Agreement shall not apply to the Transaction. Each party waives any and all rights it may have to set-off delivery or payment obligations it owes to the other party under the
Transaction against any delivery or payment obligations owed to it by the other party, whether arising under the Agreement, under any other agreement between parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise. 

(j) Equity Rights. Dealer acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to convey to it rights with respect to the
Transaction that are senior to the claims of common stockholders in the event of Counterparty’s bankruptcy. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that the preceding sentence shall not apply at any time other than during
Counterparty’s bankruptcy to any claim arising as a result of a breach by Counterparty of any of its obligations under this Confirmation or the Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that the obligations of Counterparty
under this Confirmation are not secured by any collateral that would otherwise secure the obligations of Counterparty herein under or pursuant to any other agreement. 

(k) Early Unwind. In the event the sale by Counterparty of the Optional Convertible Securities is not consummated pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement for any reason by the close of business in New York on the Effective Date (or such later date as agreed upon by the parties) (the Effective Date or such later date being the “Early Unwind Date”), the Transaction
shall automatically terminate (the “Early Unwind”) on the Early Unwind Date and the Transaction and all of the respective rights and obligations of Dealer and Counterparty hereunder shall be cancelled and terminated and Counterparty
shall pay to Dealer an amount in cash equal to the aggregate amount of costs and expenses relating to the unwinding of Dealer’s hedging activities in respect of the Transaction (including market losses incurred in reselling any Shares purchased
by Dealer or its affiliates in connection with such hedging activities, unless Counterparty agrees to purchase any such Shares at the cost at which Dealer purchased such Shares). Following such termination, cancellation and payment, each party shall
be released and discharged by the other party from, and agrees not to make any claim against the other party with respect to, any obligations or liabilities of either party arising out of, and to be performed in connection with, the Transaction
either prior to or after the Early Unwind Date. Dealer and Counterparty represent and acknowledge to the other that upon an Early Unwind and following the payment referred to above, all obligations with respect to the Transaction shall be deemed
fully and finally discharged. 
 (l) Agreements and Acknowledgements Regarding Hedging. Counterparty understands, acknowledges and
agrees that: (A) at any time on and prior to the Expiration Date, Dealer and its affiliates may 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; (B) Dealer and its affiliates also may be active in the market for Shares other than in connection with hedging activities in relation to the Transaction; (C) Dealer shall make its
own determination as to whether, when or in what manner any hedging or market activities in securities of Issuer 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
“Daily VWAP” (as defined in the Indenture); (D) any market activities of Dealer and its affiliates with respect to Shares may affect the market price and volatility of Shares, as well as the “Daily VWAP” (as defined in the
Indenture), each in a manner that may be adverse to Counterparty; and (E) the Transaction is a derivatives transaction in which it has granted Dealer an option, and Dealer may purchase shares for its own account at an average price that may be
greater than, or less than, the price paid by Counterparty under the terms of the Transaction. 
 (m) Wall Street Transparency and
Accountability Act. In connection with Section 739 of the Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act of 2010 (the “WSTAA”), the parties hereby agree that neither the enactment of the WSTAA (or any statute containing
any legal certainty provision similar to 

  
 25 








 Section 739 of the WSTAA) or any regulation under the WSTAA (or any such statute), nor any requirement under
the WSTAA (or any statute containing any legal certainty provision similar to Section 739 of the WSTAA) or an amendment made by the WSTAA (or any such statute), shall limit or otherwise impair either party’s otherwise applicable rights to
terminate, renegotiate, modify, amend or supplement this Confirmation or the Agreement, as applicable, arising from a termination event, force majeure, illegality, increased costs, regulatory change or similar event under this Confirmation, the
Equity Definitions incorporated herein, or the Agreement (including, but not limited to, rights arising from Change in Law, Hedging Disruption, Increased Cost of Hedging or Illegality). 

(n) Governing Law; Exclusive Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury. THE AGREEMENT, THIS CONFIRMATION AND ALL MATTERS ARISING IN CONNECTION
WITH THE AGREEMENT AND THIS CONFIRMATION SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CHOICE OF LAW DOCTRINE, OTHER THAN TITLE 14 OF ARTICLE 5 OF THE NEW YORK
GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW). 
 Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits for itself and its property in any suit, legal
action or proceeding relating to this Confirmation or the Agreement, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, (each, “Proceedings”) to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York,
sitting in New York County, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York and appellate courts from any thereof. Nothing in this Confirmation or the Agreement precludes either party from bringing Proceedings in any
other jurisdiction if (A) the courts of the State of New York or the United States of America for the Southern District of New York lack jurisdiction over the parties or the subject matter of the Proceedings or decline to accept the Proceedings
on the grounds of lacking such jurisdiction; (B) the Proceedings are commenced by a party for the purpose of enforcing against the other party’s property, assets or estate any decision or judgment rendered by any court in which Proceedings
may be brought as provided hereunder; (C) the Proceedings are commenced to appeal any such court’s decision or judgment to any higher court with competent appellate jurisdiction over that court’s decisions or judgments if that higher
court is located outside the State of New York or Borough of Manhattan, such as a federal court of appeals or the U.S. Supreme Court; or (D) any suit, action or proceeding has been commenced in another jurisdiction by or against the other party
or against its property, assets or estate and, in order to exercise or protect its rights, interests or remedies under this Confirmation or the Agreement, the party (1) joins, files a claim, or takes any other action, in any such suit, action
or proceeding, or (2) otherwise commences any Proceeding in that other jurisdiction as the result of that other suit, action or proceeding having commenced in that other jurisdiction. 

EACH OF COUNTERPARTY AND DEALER 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 THIS CONFIRMATION OR THE AGREEMENT. 

(o) Amendment. This Confirmation and the Agreement may not be modified, amended or supplemented, except in a written instrument signed
by Counterparty and Dealer. 
 (p) Counterparts. This Confirmation may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 
 (q) [Reserved]. 

(r) Inversion Transaction. Counterparty shall not enter into or consummate any Inversion Transaction unless the successor Counterparty
immediately following such Inversion Transaction repeats to Dealer immediately following such Inversion Transaction the representations and warranties set forth in 

  
 26 








 Section 3(a) of the Agreement (as if references therein to (i) “execute” and
“deliver” were replaced with “assume” and (ii) “execution, delivery” were replaced with “assumption”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, if Counterparty enters into or
consummates any Inversion Transaction pursuant to which (x) Dealer reasonably determines in its good faith judgment that such Inversion Transaction has had a material adverse effect on Dealer’s rights and obligations under the Transaction
or (y) Counterparty following such Inversion Transaction is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the Islands of Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, Canada, Guernsey, Jersey, the Republic of Ireland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands,
Switzerland, France, Germany or the United Kingdom, then such Inversion Transaction shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (A) Counterparty shall be
deemed to be the sole Affected Party, (B) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (C) Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, (I) Dealer shall not be required to pay any additional amount pursuant to Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement to the extent that it would not be required to be paid but for an
Inversion Transaction and (II) in the event that there is an Inversion Transaction and Counterparty is required to withhold or deduct on account of any Tax amounts in excess of that which Counterparty would have been required to so withhold or
deduct in the absence of such Inversion Transaction, such excess shall be an Indemnifiable Tax with respect to which Counterparty shall be required to pay an additional amount under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement.
