 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 that may be issued pursuant to the option to purchase additional convertible securities (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.

below, in respect of an Exercise Date, Dealer will deliver to Counterparty on the related Settlement Date (the “Delivery Obligation”), (i) a number of Shares equal to the product of the Applicable Percentage and the aggregate number

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

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 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)

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:

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).

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


  
 11 









			
		  	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

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;

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 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


  
 12 









			
		  	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.
		
	 Notice of Merger Consideration

and Consequences:
	  	Upon the occurrence of a Merger Event, Counterparty shall reasonably promptly (but in any event prior to the relevant merger date) notify the Calculation Agent of (i) in the case of a Merger Event that causes the Shares to be
converted into the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election), (a) if holders of Shares affirmatively make such an election, the weighted average of the types and
amounts of consideration received by the holders of Shares that affirmatively make such an election or (b) if no holders of Shares affirmatively make such an election, the types and amount of consideration actually received by such holders, and (ii)
the details of the adjustment to be made under the Indenture in respect of such Merger Event.
		
	 Nationalization, Insolvency or

Delisting:

 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: 
 (i) On the Trade Date and as of the date of any
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. 

(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. 

  
 17 








 (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 Transaction, (ii) it is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Regulation D as
promulgated under the Securities Act, (iii) it is entering into the Transaction for its own account and without a view to 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 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 

  
 18 








 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 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: 

  
 19 








 (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,
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


  
 20 









			
		
		  	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).

 (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 

  
 21 








 
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 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 

  
 22 








 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 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; 

  
 23 








 (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. 

(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. 

  
 24 








 (k) Early Unwind. In the event the sale by Counterparty of the Base 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 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). 

  
 25 








 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 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 

  
 26 








 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.
