	Re:	  	Call Option Transaction
		  	(UBS Reference Number: BKP352STM2746526)

 The purpose of this letter agreement (this “Confirmation”) is to confirm the
terms and conditions of the call option transaction entered into between UBS AG, London Branch (“Dealer”) represented by UBS Securities LLC (“Agent”) as its agent and Newmont Mining Corporation
(“Counterparty”) on the Trade Date specified below (the “Transaction”). This letter agreement constitutes a “Confirmation” as referred to in the ISDA Master Agreement specified below. This Confirmation
shall replace any previous agreements and serve as the final documentation for this Transaction. 
 The definitions and provisions contained
in the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “Equity Definitions”), as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) are incorporated into this Confirmation. In the event of
any inconsistency between the Equity Definitions and this Confirmation, this Confirmation shall govern. Certain defined terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Offering Memorandum dated July 11, 2007 (the “Offering
Memorandum”) relating to the USD 500,000,000 principal amount of 1.250% Convertible Senior Notes due 2014, (the “Initial Convertible Notes” and each USD 1,000 principal amount of Initial Convertible Notes, an
“Initial Convertible Note”) and an additional USD 75,000,000 principal amount of 1.250% Convertible Senior Notes due 2014 issued pursuant an over-allotment option granted by the Counterparty to the Initial Purchasers of the Initial
Convertible Notes (“Additional Convertible Notes” and each USD 1,000 principal amount of Additional Convertible Notes, an “Additional Convertible Note” and together with the Initial Convertible Notes, the
“Convertible Notes” and each USD 1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, a “Convertible Note”) issued by Counterparty pursuant to an Indenture to be dated July 17, 2007 between Counterparty, Newmont USA
Limited, as subsidiary guarantor, and The Bank of New York, as the trustee (the “Indenture”). In the event of any inconsistency between the terms defined in the Offering Memorandum, the Indenture and this Confirmation, this
Confirmation shall govern. The parties acknowledge that this Confirmation is entered into on the date hereof with the understanding that (i) definitions set forth in the Indenture which are also defined herein by reference to the Indenture and
(ii) sections of the Indenture that are referred to herein will conform to the descriptions thereof in the Offering Memorandum. If any such definitions in the Indenture or any such sections of the Indenture differ from the descriptions thereof
in the Offering Memorandum, the descriptions thereof in the Offering Memorandum will govern for purposes of this Confirmation. The parties further acknowledge that the Indenture section numbers used herein are based on the draft of the Indenture
last reviewed by Dealer as of the date of this Confirmation, and if any such section numbers are changed in the Indenture as executed, the parties will amend this Confirmation in good faith to preserve the intent of the parties. For the avoidance of
doubt, references to the Indenture herein are references to the Indenture as in effect on the date of its execution and if the Indenture is amended following its execution, any such amendment will be disregarded for purposes of this Confirmation
unless the parties agree otherwise in writing. 







 Each party is hereby advised, and each such party acknowledges, that the other party 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.

 1. 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 supplement, form a part of, and be subject to an agreement in the form of the 1992 ISDA Master Agreement (Multicurrency-Cross Border) (the “Agreement”) as if Dealer and Counterparty had
executed an agreement in such form (but without any Schedule except for (i) the election of the laws of the State of New York as the governing law, (ii) the United States dollars as the Termination Currency, (iii) Second Method and
Loss as the payments due upon early termination and (iv) Specified Transaction being specified as “none”) on the Trade Date. In the event of any inconsistency between provisions of that Agreement and this Confirmation, this
Confirmation will prevail for the purpose of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates (and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any representation or warranty of Counterparty made under the Agreement is addressed by a more
specific representation or warranty contained in this Confirmation, they shall be deemed inconsistent and only the more specific representation or warranty in this Confirmation shall apply). The parties hereby agree that no Transaction other than
the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates shall be governed by the Agreement and that no existing ISDA Master Agreement between the parties (other than the Agreement) shall apply to the Transaction.

herein. 

  

	 	ii.	Neither the execution and delivery of this Confirmation nor the incurrence or performance of obligations of Counterparty hereunder will (i) conflict with or result in a breach
of any agreement or instrument to which Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries is subject (including, but not limited to,
any agreements and contracts of Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries filed as exhibits to Counterparty’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, incorporated by reference in the Offering Memorandum), except for
any such conflict that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, management, financial position, results of operations or prospects of Counterparty and its subsidiaries taken as a whole
or on the performance by Counterparty of its obligations under the Transaction (“Material Adverse Effect”) or (ii) constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien under, any such agreement or instrument,
except for any such default or lien that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. 

  

	 	iii.	On the Trade Date (A) none of Counterparty, its affiliates 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; provided that Counterparty shall be deemed to repeat the representation contained in this Section 8(a)(iii)
on each day during the Hedging Period. 

  

	 	iv.	(A) On the Trade Date, the Shares or securities that are convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for Shares, are not, and will not be, subject to a “restricted
period,” as such term is defined in Regulation M under the Exchange Act (“Regulation M”) and (B) Counterparty is not engaged in and will 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 last date of the Hedging Period.


  

 13 









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

  

	 	vi.	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.


  

	 	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.	Neither Counterparty nor any of its affiliates has purchased any Shares in purchases of blocks (as contemplated by Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act) during each of the four
calendar weeks preceding the date hereof and Counterparty further covenants and agrees that neither it or any of its affiliates will purchase any Shares prior to the last day of the Hedging Period. 

  

	 	(b)	Each of Dealer and Counterparty represents and warrants that it is an “eligible contract participant” as defined in Section l(a)(12) of the U.S. Commodity Exchange Act, as
amended. 

  

	 	(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(2) thereof. Accordingly, each party represents and warrants to the other 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. 

 9. Other Provisions: 
  

	 	(a)	Opinion. Counterparty shall deliver to Dealer an opinion of counsel, dated as of the Trade Date and reasonably acceptable to Dealer in form and substance, with respect
to the matters set forth in Section 3 of the Agreement and Section 8(a)(ii) of this Confirmation. 

  

	 	(b)	Reserved 

  

	 	(c)	 Repurchase Notices. Counterparty shall, on any day on which Counterparty effects any repurchase of Shares, promptly give Dealer a written notice of
such repurchase (a “Repurchase Notice”) on such day if following such repurchase, the number of outstanding Shares as determined on such day is (i) less than 200 million (in the case of the first such notice) or
(ii) thereafter more than 50 million less than the number of Shares included in the immediately preceding Repurchase 



  

 14 









	 	 
Notice. Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Dealer and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates,
advisors, agents and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all losses (including losses relating to Dealer’s hedging activities as a consequence of becoming, or of the risk of becoming, a
Section 16 “insider”, including without limitation, any forbearance from hedging activities or cessation of hedging activities and any losses in connection therewith with respect to this Transaction), claims, damages, judgments,
liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), joint or several, which an Indemnified Person may become subject to, as a result of Counterparty’s failure to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the
manner specified in this paragraph, and to reimburse, within 30 days, upon written request, each of such Indemnified Persons for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing for, providing testimony or
other evidence in connection with or defending any of the foregoing. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against the Indemnified Person as a result of
Counterparty’s failure to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice in accordance with this paragraph, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Counterparty in writing, and Counterparty, upon request of the Indemnified Person, shall retain
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others Counterparty may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. Counterparty
shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding contemplated by this paragraph that is effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, Counterparty agrees to
indemnify any Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Counterparty shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened
proceeding contemplated by this paragraph that is in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional
release of such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding on terms reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person. If the indemnification provided for in this paragraph is unavailable to an
Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then Counterparty hereunder, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable
by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities. The remedies provided for in this paragraph (c) are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any
Indemnified Party at law or in equity. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this paragraph shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Transaction. 


  

	 	(d)	Early Unwind. In the event the sale of Convertible Notes is not consummated with the Initial Purchasers for any reason by the close of business in New York on
July 17, 2007 (or such later date as agreed upon by the parties) (July 17, 2007 or such later date as agreed upon being the “Early Unwind Date”), this Transaction shall automatically terminate (the “Early
Unwind”), on the Early Unwind Date and (i) the Transaction and all of the respective rights and obligations of Dealer and Counterparty under the Transaction shall be cancelled and terminated and (ii) 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 the other 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, all obligations with respect to the Transaction shall be deemed fully and finally discharged. 

  

 15 









	 	(e)	Transfer or Assignment. Neither party may transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Transaction without the prior written consent of the non-transferring
party; provided that if Dealer’s “beneficial ownership” (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder) exceeds 8.0% of Counterparty’s outstanding Shares Dealer may assign or
transfer a portion of the Transaction without Counterparty’s consent to any third party with a rating for its long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness equal to or better than the lesser of (i) the credit rating of Dealer at the
time of the transfer and (ii) A- by Standard and Poor’s Rating Group, Inc. or its successor (“S&P”), or A3 by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or, if either S&P or Moody’s
ceases to rate such debt, at least an equivalent rating or better by a substitute agency rating mutually agreed by Counterparty and Dealer to reduce Dealer’s “beneficial ownership” (within the meaning of Section 13 of the
Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder) to 8.0% of Counterparty’s outstanding Shares or less; and provided, further, that Dealer shall not transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Transaction to any entity listed
on Schedule A without Counterparty’s consent. If after Dealer’s commercially reasonable efforts, Dealer is unable to effect a transfer or assignment (i) permitted by the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence or (ii) at
any time at which the Equity Percentage exceeds 8.0% (an “Excess Ownership Position”), on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to Dealer and within a time period reasonably acceptable to Dealer of a sufficient number of Options,
Dealer may designate any Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion (the “Terminated Portion”) of the Transaction, such that (i) its “beneficial ownership” following such partial
termination will be equal to or less than 8.0% or (ii) such Excess Ownership Position no longer exists. 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 as if (i) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to this Transaction and a Number of Options equal to the Terminated Portion,
(ii) Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (iii) such Transaction shall be the only Terminated Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 9(k) shall
apply to any amount that is payable by Dealer to Counterparty pursuant to this sentence as if Counterparty was not the Affected Party). 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, beneficially own (within the
meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act) on such day and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day. 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’s
obligations in respect of this Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such performance. 

  

	 	(f)	Staggered Settlement. If the Staggered Settlement Equity Percentage as of any Exchange Business Day during the relevant Settlement Averaging Period is greater than
4.5%, Dealer may, by notice to Counterparty prior to the related Settlement Date (a “Nominal Settlement Date”), elect to deliver the Shares on two or more dates (each, a “Staggered Settlement Date”) or at two or
more times on the Nominal Settlement Date as follows: 

  

	 	(i)	in such notice, Dealer will specify to Counterparty the related Staggered Settlement Dates (the first of which will be such Nominal Settlement Date and the last of which will be no
later than the twentieth (20th) Exchange Business Day following such Nominal Settlement Date) and the number of Shares that it will deliver on each Staggered Settlement Date; 

  

 16 









	 	(ii)	the aggregate number of Shares that Dealer will deliver to Counterparty hereunder on all such Staggered Settlement Dates and delivery times will equal the number of Shares that
Dealer would otherwise be required to deliver on such Nominal Settlement Date; and 

  

	 	(iii)	if the Net Share Settlement or Combination Settlement terms set forth above were to apply on the Nominal Settlement Date, then the Net Share Settlement or Combination Settlement
terms, as applicable, will apply on each Staggered Settlement Date, except that the Net Share Settlement Amount or Combination Settlement Amount, as applicable, will be allocated among such Staggered Settlement Dates as specified by Dealer in the
notice referred to in clause (i) above. 

 The “Staggered Settlement Equity Percentage” as of any day is
the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the sum of (i) the number of Shares “beneficially owned” (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act) on such day by Dealer, any of its
affiliates subject to aggregation with Dealer for the 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 with respect to “beneficial ownership” of any Shares, plus (ii) the sum of the Number of Options and Option Entitlement and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day.

  

	 	(g)	Role of Agent. Each party agrees and acknowledges that (i) Agent is acting as agent for both parties but does not guarantee the performance of either party and
neither Dealer nor Counterparty shall contact the other with respect to any matter relating to the Transaction without the direct involvement of Agent; (ii) Agent is not a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation;
(iii) Agent, Dealer and Counterparty each hereby acknowledges that any transactions by Dealer or Agent in the Shares will be undertaken by Dealer or Agent, as the case may, as principal for its own account; (iv) without limiting the
obligations of Dealer or Agent hereunder or in the Agreement, all of the actions to be taken by Dealer and Agent in connection with the Transaction, including but not limited to any exercise of any rights with respect to the Options, shall be taken
by Dealer or Agent independently and without any advance or subsequent consultation with Counterparty; and (v) Agent is not authorized to act as agent for Counterparty except to the extent required to satisfy the requirements of Rule 15a-6
under the Exchange Act in respect of the Options described hereunder. 

  

	 	(h)	Additional Termination Events. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation if an event of default with respect to Counterparty shall occur under the
terms of the Convertible Notes as set forth in Section 5.01 of the Indenture that results in acceleration of the Convertible Notes pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Indenture, then such event of default shall constitute an Additional
Termination Event applicable to the Transaction and, with respect to such event of default (A) Counterparty shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party and the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction, (B) Dealer shall be the
party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement, and (C) the provisions of “Alternative Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events” below
shall apply to such Early Termination. 

  

	 	(i)	Amendments to Equity Definitions. Section 12.9(b)(i) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by (1) replacing “either party may elect” with
“Dealer may elect” and (2) replacing “notice to the other party” with “notice to Counterparty” in the first sentence of such section. 

  

 17 









	 	(j)	No 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. 

  

	 	(k)	Alternative Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events. If in respect of this Transaction, an amount is payable by Dealer to
Counterparty (i) pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or (ii) pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (a “Payment Obligation”), Counterparty may request Dealer to satisfy
any such Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative (as defined below) (except that Counterparty shall not make such an election in the event of a Nationalization, Insolvency, a Merger Event or Tender Offer, in each case, in which the
consideration to be paid to holders of Shares consists solely of cash, or an Event of Default in which Counterparty is the Defaulting Party or a Termination Event in which Counterparty is the Affected Party, other than an Event of Default of the
type described in Section 5(a)(iii), (v), (vi), (vii) or (viii) of the Agreement or a Termination Event of the type described in Section 5(b) of the Agreement in each case that resulted from an event or events outside
Counterparty’s control) and shall give irrevocable telephonic notice to Dealer, confirmed in writing within one Currency Business Day, no later than 12:00 p.m. New York local time on the Merger Date, the Announcement Date (in the case of
Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), the Early Termination Date or date of cancellation, as applicable; provided that if Counterparty does not validly request Dealer to satisfy its Payment Obligation by the Share Termination
Alternative, Dealer shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to satisfy its Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative, notwithstanding Counterparty’s election to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree
that in calculating the Payment Obligation the Determining Party may consider the purchase price paid in connection with the purchase of Share Termination Delivery Property. 

  

			
	 Share Termination Alternative:
	  	Applicable and means that Dealer shall deliver to Counterparty the Share Termination Delivery Property on, or within a commercially reasonable period of time after, the date when the Payment
Obligation would otherwise be due pursuant to Section 12.7 or 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or Section 6(d)(ii) and 6(e) of the Agreement, as applicable (the “Share Termination Payment Date”), in satisfaction of the Payment
Obligation in the manner reasonably requested by Counterparty free of payment.
		
	 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 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.


  

 18 









			
	 Share Termination Unit Price:
	  	The value to Dealer of property contained in one Share Termination Delivery Unit, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its discretion by commercially reasonable means and notified by the
Calculation Agent to Dealer at the time of notification of the Payment Obligation.
		
	 Share Termination Delivery Unit:
	  	One Share or, if a Merger Event has occurred and a corresponding adjustment to this Transaction has been made, 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 Merger Event, as determined by the Calculation Agent.
		
	 Failure to Deliver:
	  	Applicable
		
	 Other applicable provisions:
	  	If Share Termination Alternative is applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.11, 9.12 and 10.5 (as modified above) of the Equity Definitions will be applicable, except that all
references in such provisions to “Physically-settled” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Settled” and all references to “Shares” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Delivery
Units”. “Share Termination Settled” in relation to this Transaction means that Share Termination Alternative is applicable to this Transaction.

  

	 	(l)	Governing Law. New York law (without reference to choice of law doctrine). 

  

	 	(m)	Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any suit, action or
proceeding relating to this Transaction. Each party (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of either party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of such a suit, action or
proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other party have been induced to enter into this Transaction, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications provided herein.


  

	 	(n)	 Disposition of Hedge Shares. Counterparty hereby agrees that if, in the good faith reasonable judgment of Dealer, the Shares (“Hedge
Shares”) acquired by Dealer for the purpose of hedging its obligations pursuant to this Transaction cannot be sold in the public market by Dealer without registration under the Securities Act, Counterparty shall, at its election, either
(i) in order to allow Dealer to sell the Hedge Shares in a registered offering, make available to Dealer an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and enter into an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Dealer,
substantially in the form of an underwriting agreement for a registered offering and customary for similar offerings; provided, however, that if Dealer, in its sole reasonable discretion, is not satisfied with access to due diligence
materials, the results of its due diligence investigation, or the procedures and documentation for the registered offering referred to 



  

 19 









	 	 
above, then clause (ii) or clause (iii) of this paragraph shall apply at the election of Counterparty, (ii) in order to allow Dealer to sell
the Hedge Shares in a private placement, use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into a private placement agreement substantially similar to private placement purchase agreements customary for private placements of equity securities, in form
and substance satisfactory to Dealer (in which case, the Calculation Agent shall make any adjustments to the terms of this Transaction that are necessary, in its reasonable judgment, to compensate Dealer for any discount from the public market price
of the Shares incurred on the sale of Hedge Shares in a private placement), or (iii) purchase the Hedge Shares from Dealer at the Reference Price on such Exchange Business Days, and in the amounts, requested by Dealer; provided that
Counterparty shall not be required to purchase any Hedge Shares from Dealer unless it elects to do so, solely at its discretion, in accordance with this Section 9(n). 


  

	 	(o)	Tax 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. 

  

	 	(p)	Right to Extend. Dealer may delay any Settlement Date or any other date of delivery by Dealer, with respect to some or all of the Options hereunder, if Dealer
reasonably determines, in its discretion, that such extension is reasonably necessary to enable Dealer to effect purchases of Shares in connection with its hedging activity 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 and regulatory requirements. 

  

	 	(q)	Status of Claims in Bankruptcy. Dealer acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to convey to Dealer rights against Counterparty with respect to
the Transaction that are senior to the claims of common stockholders of Counterparty in any U.S. bankruptcy proceedings of Counterparty; provided that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealer’s right to pursue
remedies in the event of a breach by Counterparty of its obligations and agreements with respect to the Transaction; provided, further, that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealer’s rights in respect of any
transactions other than the Transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that this Confirmation is not secured by any collateral that would otherwise secure the obligations of Counterparty herein under or pursuant to any other
agreement. 

  

	 	(r)	Securities Contract; Swap Agreement. The parties hereto intend for: (a) the Transaction to be a “securities contract” and a “swap agreement”
as defined in the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code) (the “Bankruptcy Code”), and the parties hereto to be entitled to the protections afforded by, among other Sections, Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 546(e),
546(g), 555 and 560 of the Bankruptcy Code; (b) a party’s right to liquidate the Transaction and to exercise any other remedies upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Agreement with respect to the other party to constitute a
“contractual right” as described in the Bankruptcy Code; and (c) each payment and delivery of cash, securities or other property hereunder to constitute a “margin payment” or “settlement payment” and a
“transfer” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code. 

  

	 	(s)	 Additional Provisions. Counterparty covenants and agrees that, as promptly as practicable following the public announcement of any consolidation,
merger and binding share exchange to which Counterparty is a party, or any sale of all or substantially all of Counterparty’s assets, in each case pursuant to which the Shares will be converted into cash, 



  

 20 









	 	 
securities or other property, Counterparty shall notify Dealer in writing of the types and amounts of consideration that holders of Shares have elected to
receive upon consummation of such transaction or event (the date of such notification, the “Consideration Notification Date”); provided that in no event shall the Consideration Notification Date be later than the date on
which such transaction or event is consummated. 


  

 21

Counterparty with respect to the Transaction, by manually signing this Confirmation or this page hereof as evidence of agreement to such terms and providing the other information requested herein and immediately returning an executed copy to Equity
