1.           This Confirmation
evidences a complete binding agreement between Counterparty and JPMorgan as to the terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation
relates. This Confirmation (notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein) shall be subject to an agreement in the form of the
2002 ISDA Master Agreement (the “Master Agreement”) as if JPMorgan and Counterparty had executed an agreement
in such form (but without any Schedule except for the election of the laws of the State of New York as the governing law (without
reference to choice of law doctrine) (i) the election of US Dollars (“USD”) as the Termination Currency, and
(ii) (a) the election that the “Cross Default” provisions of Section 5(a)(vi) of the Master Agreement shall apply to
JPMorgan with a “Threshold Amount” of three percent of the shareholders’ equity of JPMorgan, (b) the phrase “,

in respect of deposits received in the ordinary course of JPMorgan’s (or its subsidiaries’) banking business and (d)
the following language shall be added to the end thereof: “Notwithstanding the foregoing, a default under subsection (2)
hereof shall not constitute an Event of Default if (x) the default was caused solely by error or omission of an administrative
or operational nature; (y) funds were available to enable the party to make the payment when due; and (z) the payment is made within
two Local Business Days of such party’s receipt of written notice of its failure to pay.”) on the Trade Date. In the
event of any inconsistency between the provisions of the Master Agreement and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will prevail
for the purpose of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates. The parties hereby agree that no transaction other than
the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates shall be governed by the Master Agreement.

    	2



     


    

 


	Calculation Agent:	
        JPMorgan; provided that following
        the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default of the type described in Section 5(a)(vii) of the Master Agreement
        with respect to which JPMorgan is the sole Defaulting Party, if the Calculation Agent fails to timely make any calculation, adjustment
        or determination required to be made by the Calculation Agent hereunder or to perform any obligation of the Calculation Agent hereunder
        and such failure continues for five Exchange Business Days following notice to the Calculation Agent by Counterparty of such failure,
        Counterparty shall have the right to designate a nationally recognized third-party dealer in over-the-counter corporate equity
        derivatives to act, during the period commencing on the first date the Calculation Agent fails to timely make such calculation,
        adjustment or determination or to perform such obligation, as the case may be, and ending on the earlier of the Early Termination
        Date with respect to such Event of Default and the date on which such Event of Default is no longer continuing, as the Calculation
        Agent.

         

        All calculations and determinations by
        the Calculation Agent shall be made in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner. Following any calculation by the Calculation
        Agent hereunder, upon written request by Counterparty, the Calculation Agent will provide to Counterparty by email to the email
        address provided by Counterparty in such written request a report (in a commonly used file format for the storage and manipulation
        of financial data) displaying in reasonable detail the basis for such calculation; provided, however, that in no
        event will the Calculation Agent be obligated to share with Counterparty any proprietary or confidential data or information or

	Settlement Terms:	 
	 	 
	Physical Settlement:	Applicable.  In lieu of Section 9.2(a)(iii) of the Equity Definitions, JPMorgan will deliver to Counterparty the Daily Number of Shares for the related Valuation Date on the relevant Settlement Date.
	 	 
	Valuation Dates:

        Date and (ii) the related Settlement Date(s) and (b) the Maturity Date.

         

        If on any Exchange Business Day, the Number
        of Shares is greater than the number of Shares underlying all of Counterparty’s then outstanding 2.50% Convertible Senior
        Notes due 2023 (the “Notes”), Counterparty may provide written notice to JPMorgan of such fact (such notice,
        a “Notional Excess Notice”). Promptly following the date 90 calendar days immediately following the date on
        which JPMorgan receives a Notional Excess Notice from Counterparty (taking into consideration the amount of time necessary to complete
        any related unwind activity with respect to JPMorgan’s Hedge Positions), JPMorgan shall deliver a Settlement Notice to Counterparty
        designating a Valuation Date and related Settlement Date with respect to a Daily Number of Shares such that the Number of Shares
        following such Settlement Date is less than or equal to the number of Shares underlying all then outstanding Notes.

	 	 
	Market Disruption Event:	
        The definition of “Market Disruption
        Event” in Section 6.3(a) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended (A) by deleting the words “at any time during
        the one hour period that ends at the relevant Valuation Time, Latest Exercise Time, Knock-in Valuation Time or Knock-out Valuation
        Time, as the case may be” and inserting the words “at any time on any Valuation Date” after the word “material,”
        in the third line thereof, and (B) by replacing the words “or (iii) an Early Closure.” therein with “(iii)
        an Early Closure, or (iv) a Regulatory Disruption.”

         

        Section 6.3(d) of the Equity Definitions
        is hereby amended by deleting the remainder of the provision following the term “Scheduled Closing Time” in the fourth
        line thereof.



 




    	3



     


    

 


	Regulatory Disruption:	Any event that JPMorgan, in its commercially reasonable discretion and in good faith, based on the advice of legal counsel, determines makes it advisable with regard to any legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements or related policies and procedures applicable to JPMorgan (provided that such requirements, policies and procedures relate to legal or regulatory issues and are generally applicable in similar situations and applied in a consistent manner in similar transactions), including any requirements, policies or procedures relating to JPMorgan’s commercially reasonable hedging activities hereunder (provided that such requirements, policies and procedures are generally applicable in similar situations and applied in a consistent manner in similar transactions), to refrain from or decrease any market activity in connection with the Transaction.  JPMorgan shall notify Counterparty as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than three Scheduled Trading Days) that a Regulatory Disruption has occurred and the Valuation Dates affected by it, and JPMorgan shall promptly notify Counterparty of any termination of such Regulatory Disruption.  
	 	 
	Dividends:	 
	 	 
	Dividend Payment:	In lieu of Section 9.2(a)(iii) of the Equity Definitions, JPMorgan will pay to Counterparty the Dividend Amount on the third Currency Business Day immediately following the Dividend Payment Date.

	Dividend Payment Date:	Each date on which the relevant Dividend Amount is paid by the Issuer to shareholders of record.
	 	 
	Share Adjustments:	 
	 	 
	Method of Adjustment:	Calculation Agent Adjustment; provided that the parties agree that open market Share repurchases at prevailing market price or accelerated share repurchases, forward contracts or similar transactions (including without limitation any discount to average VWAP prices) that are entered into at prevailing market prices and in accordance with customary market terms for transactions of such type to repurchase the Counterparty’s Shares shall not be considered Potential Adjustment Events. For the avoidance of doubt, the payment of any cash dividend or distribution on the Shares shall not constitute a Potential Adjustment Event but instead shall be governed by the provisions set forth under the heading “Dividends” above.

to JPMorgan as if set forth herein. Furthermore, in addition to the representations set forth in the Master Agreement, Counterparty
represents and warrants to, and agrees with, JPMorgan, on the date hereof, that:


 


(a)

or assign its obligations under the Transaction or any portion of such obligations to any other person or entity except in compliance
with applicable laws and the terms of the Transaction; (ii) it understands that the Transaction is subject to complex risks which
may arise without warning and may at times be volatile, and that losses may occur quickly and in unanticipated magnitude; (iii)
it is authorized to enter into the Transaction; (iv) it has consulted with its legal advisor(s) and has reached its own conclusions
about the Transaction, and any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or economic consequences arising from the Transaction; (v) it
has concluded that the Transaction is suitable in light of its own investment objectives, financial condition and expertise; and
(vi) neither JPMorgan nor any of its affiliates has advised it with respect to any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or economic
consequences arising from the Transaction, and neither JPMorgan nor any of its affiliates is acting as agent, or advisor for Counterparty

(c)       The
reports and other documents filed by Counterparty with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) 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 update prior statements and 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. Counterparty is not in possession of any material nonpublic information regarding the business, operations or prospects
of Counterparty or the Shares.

the Shares) in violation of the Exchange Act.


 


(e)       Counterparty
is not on the Trade Date engaged in a distribution, as such term is used in Regulation M under the Exchange Act of any securities

of Regulation M. Counterparty shall not, until the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date, engage
in any such distribution. Counterparty shall not, during (x) the period beginning on, and including, the 42nd Scheduled Trading

(x) or clause (y) a “Prohibited Period”), engage in any such distribution, other than a distribution meeting
the requirements of one of the exceptions set forth in Rule 101(b) and Rule 102(b) of Regulation M. Counterparty shall give contemporaneous

a tender offer for the Notes or entering into any agreement to repurchase or exchange the Notes, and JPMorgan shall give prompt
written notice to Counterparty of its completion of any unwind activity with respect to JPMorgan’s Hedge Positions as a result
of such repurchase, exchange or tender offer.


 


(f)       The
Transaction was approved by the board of directors of Counterparty, and Counterparty is entering into the Transaction solely for

prohibit Counterparty from entering into any aspect of the Transaction, including, but not limited to, the purchases of Shares
to be made pursuant hereto.

has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations in respect of the Transaction;
such execution, delivery and performance have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on Counterparty’s part;
and this Confirmation has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Counterparty and constitutes its valid and binding obligation,
enforceable against Counterparty in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance,
reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability,
to general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of
whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) and except that rights to indemnification and contribution hereunder
may be limited by federal or state securities laws or public policy relating thereto.


 


(h)       On

the liabilities of Counterparty, including contingent liabilities, (B) the capital of Counterparty is adequate to conduct

11 of the United States Code) (the “Bankruptcy Code”)), and (E) Counterparty could have purchased Shares with
an aggregate purchase price equal to the Prepayment Amount in compliance with the corporate laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation.

consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or filing with, any governmental agency or body or any court is required in connection
with the execution, delivery or performance by Counterparty of this Confirmation, except such as have been obtained or made and

U.S. state or local 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 JPMorgan or its affiliates owning or holding (however defined) Shares, other than any regulation that JPMorgan would
be subject to as a result of its being a regulated entity under various applicable laws, including U.S. securities laws and FINRA.


 


(n)       On
the Trade Date and on any day during a Prohibited Period, neither Counterparty nor any “affiliated purchaser” (each
as defined in Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act) shall directly or indirectly (including, without limitation, by means of any
cash-settled or other derivative instrument) purchase, offer to purchase, place any bid or limit order that would effect a purchase
of, or commence any tender offer relating to, any Shares (or an equivalent interest, including a unit of beneficial interest in
a trust or limited partnership or a depository share) or any security convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Shares.


 


(o)       The
assets of Company do not constitute “plan assets” under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended,
the Department of Labor Regulations promulgated thereunder or similar law.


 


II.       Representations
and Warranties of Counterparty and JPMorgan. Counterparty and JPMorgan hereby by represent and warrant to JPMorgan and Counterparty,
respectively, on the date hereof, that:


 


(a)       Each
is an “eligible contract participant” (as such term is defined in Section 1a(18) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as
amended, other than a person that is an eligible contract participant under Section 1a(18)(C) of the Commodity Exchange Act).


 


(b)       Each
of JPMorgan and Counterparty acknowledges that the offer and sale of the Transaction to it is intended to be exempt from registration
under the Securities Act, by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) thereof. Accordingly, Counterparty represents and warrants to JPMorgan 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, (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 without a view to the distribution or resale
thereof and (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.


 


7.           Other
Provisions.


 


(a)       Opinions.
On or prior to the Effective Date, Counterparty shall deliver to JPMorgan an opinion of counsel, dated as of the Effective Date,
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to JPMorgan, with respect to the due incorporation, existence and good standing of
Counterparty in Delaware, the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Confirmation, and, in respect of the execution,
delivery and performance of this Confirmation, the absence of any conflict with or breach of any agreement required to be filed
as an exhibit to Counterparty’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Counterparty’s certificate of incorporation
or Counterparty’s by-laws. Delivery of such opinion to JPMorgan shall be a condition precedent for the purpose of Section
2(a)(iii) of the Master Agreement with respect to each obligation of JPMorgan under Section 2(a)(i) of the Master Agreement.

(b)       Repurchase
Notices. Counterparty shall, on any day on which Counterparty effects any repurchase of Shares, promptly give JPMorgan
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 48.4 million (in the case of the first such notice) or (ii) thereafter
more than 5.6 million less than the number of Shares included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice. Counterparty agrees
to indemnify and hold harmless JPMorgan 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 JPMorgan’s commercially reasonable 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 the 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 JPMorgan 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
JPMorgan with a Repurchase Notice in accordance with this paragraph, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Counterparty
in writing, and Counterparty, upon request of the Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified
Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others Counterparty may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees
and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. Counterparty shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding
contemplated by this paragraph that is effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a
final judgment for the plaintiff, Counterparty agrees to indemnify any Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability
by reason of such settlement or judgment. Counterparty shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person,
effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding contemplated by this paragraph that is in respect of which any Indemnified
Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement
includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding
on terms reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person. If the indemnification provided for in this paragraph is unavailable
to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then Counterparty
hereunder, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified
Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities. The remedies provided for in this paragraph (b) are not exclusive
and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person 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 the Transaction.


 


(c)       Early
Unwind. In the event the sale of the “Underwritten Securities” (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) is not
consummated with the Initial Purchasers for any reason, or Counterparty fails to deliver to JPMorgan an opinion of counsel as required
pursuant to Section 7(a), in each case by 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Prepayment Date, or such later date as agreed
upon by the parties (the Prepayment Date or such later date, the “Early Unwind Date”), the 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 JPMorgan 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. Each of JPMorgan and Counterparty represents and acknowledges to the other that
upon an Early Unwind, all obligations with respect to the Transaction shall be deemed fully and finally discharged.

(d)       Transfer
or Assignment.


 


(i) JPMorgan may transfer
or assign (a “Transfer”) all or any part of its rights or obligations under the Transaction (A) to any affiliate
of JPMorgan, without Counterparty’s consent (1)(I) that has a rating for its long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness
that is equal to or better than JPMorgan’s credit rating at the time of such Transfer or (II) whose obligations hereunder
will be guaranteed, pursuant to the terms of a customary guarantee in a form used by JPMorgan generally for similar transactions,
by JPMorgan or JPMorgan Chase & Co., (2) so long as an Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or Termination Event will
not occur as a result of such transfer or assignment and (3) so long as a result of such transfer or assignment, Counterparty will
not be required to pay the transferee on any payment date an amount under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement, as applicable, greater
than the amount that Counterparty would have been required to pay to JPMorgan in the absence of such transfer or assignment except
to the extent the greater amount is due to a Change in Tax Law after the date of such transfer or assignment or (B) with Counterparty’s
consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) to any other third party with a rating for its long term, unsecured and
unsubordinated indebtedness (or to any other third party whose obligations are guaranteed by an entity with a rating for its long
term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness) equal to or better than the lesser of (1) the credit rating of JPMorgan at the
time of the transfer and (2) A- by Standard and Poor’s Rating Group, Inc. or its successor (“S&P”),
or A3 by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or, if either S&P or Moody’s ceases
to rate such debt, at least an equivalent rating or better by a substitute rating agency mutually agreed by Counterparty and JPMorgan.
JPMorgan shall promptly provide written notice to Counterparty of any such Transfer. If at any time at which (A) the Section 16
Percentage exceeds 8.5%, (B) the Forward Equity Percentage exceeds 14.5%, or (C) the Share Amount exceeds the Applicable Share
Limit (if any applies) (any such condition described in clauses (A), (B) or (C), an “Excess Ownership Position”),
JPMorgan is unable after using its commercially reasonable efforts to effect a transfer or assignment of a portion of the Transaction
to a third party on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to JPMorgan and within a time period reasonably acceptable to JPMorgan
such that no Excess Ownership Position exists, then JPMorgan may designate any Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date
with respect to a portion of the Transaction (the “Terminated Portion”), such that following such partial termination
no Excess Ownership Position exists. In the event that JPMorgan so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion
of the Transaction, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Master Agreement as if (1) an Early Termination Date had
been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Transaction and a Number of Shares equal to the number
of Shares underlying the Terminated Portion, (2) Counterparty were the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination
and (3) the Terminated Portion were the sole Affected Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 7(f)
shall apply to any amount that is payable by JPMorgan to Counterparty pursuant to this sentence as if Counterparty was not the
Affected Party). The “Section 16 Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the
numerator of which is the number of Shares that JPMorgan and any of its affiliates or any other person subject to aggregation with
JPMorgan for purposes of the “beneficial ownership” test under Section 13 of the Exchange Act, or any “group”
(within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act) of which JPMorgan is or may be deemed to be a part beneficially owns (within
the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act), without duplication, on such day (or, to the extent that for any reason the equivalent
calculation under Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder results in a higher number, such higher
number) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day. The “Forward Equity Percentage”
as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the Number of Shares and (B) the denominator
of which is the number of Shares outstanding. The “Share Amount” as of any day is the number of Shares that
JPMorgan and any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of JPMorgan (JPMorgan or any such person, a “JPMorgan
Person”) under any law, rule, regulation, regulatory order or organizational documents or contracts of Counterparty that
are, in each case, applicable to ownership of Shares (“Applicable Restrictions”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively
owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership under any Applicable Restriction,
as determined by JPMorgan in its reasonable discretion. The “Applicable Share Limit” means a number of Shares
equal to (A) the minimum number of Shares that could give rise to reporting or registration obligations or other requirements (including
obtaining prior approval from any person or entity) of a JPMorgan Person, or could result in an adverse effect on a JPMorgan Person,
under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by JPMorgan in its reasonable discretion, minus (B) 1% of the number of
Shares outstanding.


 


(ii) Notwithstanding
any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing JPMorgan to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any
Shares or other securities, or make or receive any payment in cash, to or from Counterparty, JPMorgan may designate any of its
affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities, or to make or receive such payment in cash, and
otherwise to perform JPMorgan’s obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations
(a “JPMorgan Affiliated Entity”). JPMorgan shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent
of any such performance by such JPMorgan Affiliated Entity of JPMorgan’s obligations hereunder.


 




    	12



     


    

 


(e)       Staggered
Settlement. If upon advice of counsel with respect to any legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements or related
policies or procedures applicable to JPMorgan, including any requirements, policies or procedures relating to JPMorgan’s
commercially reasonable hedging activities hereunder that would be customarily applicable to transactions of this type by JPMorgan,
JPMorgan reasonably determines that it would not be practicable or advisable to deliver, or to acquire Shares to deliver, any or
all of the Shares to be delivered by JPMorgan on any Settlement Date for the Transaction, JPMorgan may, by notice to Counterparty
on or prior to such Settlement Date (a “Nominal Settlement Date”), elect to deliver the Daily Number of Shares
otherwise deliverable on such Nominal Settlement Date on two or more dates (each, a “Staggered Settlement Date”)
or at two or more times on a Nominal Settlement Date as follows:


 


		(1)	in such notice, JPMorgan 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 or
delivery times;



 


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



 


		(3)	the Physical Settlement terms will apply on each Staggered Settlement Date, except that the Daily
Number of Shares otherwise deliverable on such Nominal Settlement Date will be allocated among such Staggered Settlement Dates
or delivery times as specified by JPMorgan in the notice referred to in clause (1) above.



 


Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, solely in connection with a Staggered Settlement Date, JPMorgan shall be entitled to deliver Shares to Counterparty from
time to time prior to the date on which JPMorgan would be obligated to deliver them to Counterparty pursuant to the Physical Settlement
terms set forth above, and Counterparty agrees to credit all such early deliveries against JPMorgan’s obligations hereunder
in the direct order in which such obligations arise. No such early delivery of Shares will accelerate or otherwise affect any of
Counterparty’s obligations to JPMorgan hereunder.


 


(f)       Alternative
Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events. If (a) an Early Termination Date (whether
as a result of an Event of Default or a Termination Event) occurs or is designated with respect to the Transaction or (b) the Transaction
is cancelled or terminated upon the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event, and if JPMorgan would owe any amount to Counterparty
pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Master Agreement or any Cancellation Amount pursuant to Article 12 of the Equity Definitions
(any such amount, a “Payment Obligation”), then JPMorgan shall satisfy the Payment Obligation by the Share Termination
Alternative (as defined below).


 


	Share Termination Alternative:	If applicable, JPMorgan shall deliver to Counterparty the Share Termination Delivery Property on, or within a commercially reasonable period of time after, the date when the relevant 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 Master Agreement, as applicable (the “Share Termination Payment Date”), in satisfaction of such 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.


 




    	13



     


    

 


	Share Termination Unit Price:	The value to JPMorgan 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 JPMorgan at the time of notification of the Payment Obligation. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that in determining the Share Termination Delivery Unit Price, the Calculation Agent may consider the purchase price paid in connection with the purchase of Share Termination Delivery Property or the per Share unwind price of any Share-linked commercially reasonable Hedge Positions, as the case may be.
	 	 
	Share Termination Delivery Unit:	One Share or, if the Shares have changed into cash or any other property or the right to receive cash or any other property as the result of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event (any such cash or other property, the “Exchange Property”), a unit consisting of the type and amount of such Exchange 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 Nationalization, Insolvency or 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 and 9.11 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 the Transaction means that the Share Termination Alternative is applicable to the Transaction.


 


(g)       Securities
Contract, Swap Agreement. The parties hereto intend for (i) the Transaction to be a “securities contract” and
a “swap agreement” as defined in 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, (ii) a party’s
right to liquidate the Transaction and to exercise any other remedies upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Early Termination
Event, Extraordinary Event or Additional Disruption Event under this Confirmation with respect to the other party to constitute
a “contractual right” as described in the Bankruptcy Code, and (iii) 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.


 


(h)       No
Collateral, Netting or Setoff. Notwithstanding any provision of the Master Agreement, or any other agreement between the
parties, to the contrary, no collateral is transferred in connection with the Transaction. Obligations under the Transaction shall
not be netted, recouped or set off (including pursuant to Section 6 of the Master Agreement) against any other obligations of the
parties, whether arising under the Master Agreement, this Confirmation, under any other agreement between the parties hereto, by
operation of law or otherwise, and no other obligations of the parties shall be netted, recouped or set off (including pursuant
to Section 6 of the Master Agreement) against obligations under the Transaction, whether arising under the Master Agreement, this
Confirmation, under any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise, and each party hereby waives
any such right of setoff, netting or recoupment.


 




    	14



     


    

 


(i)       Status
of Claims in Bankruptcy. JPMorgan acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to convey to JPMorgan
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
JPMorgan’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 JPMorgan’s
rights in respect of any transactions other than the Transaction.


 


(j)       Governing
Law. This Confirmation will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York (without
reference to choice of law doctrine).


 


(k)       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 the 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 the Transaction, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications provided herein.


 


(l)       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.


 


(m)       Right
to Extend. JPMorgan may postpone or add, in whole or in part, any Valuation Dates and related Settlement Dates, or any
other date of valuation, payment or delivery by JPMorgan, with respect to some or all of the Number of Shares hereunder, if JPMorgan
reasonably determines, in its discretion, based on advice of counsel in the case of the immediately following clause (ii), that
such action is reasonably necessary or appropriate (i) to preserve JPMorgan’s commercially reasonable hedging or hedge
unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions or (ii) to enable JPMorgan to effect purchases of Shares
in connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if JPMorgan were Counterparty
or an affiliated purchaser of Counterparty, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements
or related policies and procedures applicable to JPMorgan, including any requirements, policies or procedures relating to JPMorgan’s
commercially reasonable hedging activities hereunder; provided that that in no event shall JPMorgan have the right to so
postpone or add any Valuation Date(s), Settlement Date(s) or any other date of valuation, payment or delivery beyond the 80th Scheduled
Trading Day (excluding any Scheduled Trading Day on which a Market Disruption Event occurs) immediately following the Maturity
Date.


 


(n)       Wall
Street Transparency and Accountability Act. In connection with Section 739 of the Wall Street Transparency and Accountability
Act of 2010 (“WSTAA”), the parties hereby agree that neither the enactment of WSTAA or any regulation under
the WSTAA, nor any requirement under WSTAA or an amendment made by WSTAA, shall limit or otherwise impair either party’s
otherwise applicable rights to terminate, renegotiate, modify, amend or supplement this Confirmation or the Master 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 Master Agreement (including, but not limited to, rights arising
from Change in Law, Hedging Disruption, Increased Cost of Hedging, an Excess Ownership Position, or Illegality (as defined in the
Master Agreement)).


 


(o)       Payment
by Counterparty. In the event that, following payment of the Prepayment Amount (i) an Early Termination Date occurs or
is designated with respect to the Transaction as a result of a Termination Event or an Event of Default and, as a result, Counterparty
owes to JPMorgan an amount calculated under Section 6(e) of the Master Agreement or (ii) Counterparty owes to JPMorgan, pursuant
to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions, an amount calculated under Section 12.8 of the Equity Definitions, in
each case, such amount shall be deemed to be zero.


 




    	15



     


    

 


(p)       Delivery
or Receipt of Cash. For the avoidance of doubt, other than payment of the Prepayment Amount by Counterparty and receipt
by Counterparty of any payment pursuant to the provisions under the heading “Dividends” in Section 2, nothing in this
Confirmation shall be interpreted as requiring Counterparty to pay or receive cash, except in circumstances where payment or receipt
of cash is within Counterparty’s control or in those circumstances in which holders of Shares would also receive cash.


 


(q)       Notice.
Counterparty shall, upon obtaining knowledge of the occurrence of any event that would, with the giving of notice, the passage
of time or the satisfaction of any condition, constitute an Event of Default in respect of which it would be the Defaulting Party,
a Termination Event in respect of which it would be an Affected Party, a Potential Adjustment Event or an Extraordinary Event (including
without limitation an Additional Disruption Event), notify JPMorgan within one Scheduled Trading Day of the occurrence of obtaining
such knowledge.


 


(r)       Agreements
and Acknowledgements Regarding Hedging. (i) Counterparty understands, acknowledges and agrees that: (A) at any time on
and prior to the final Valuation Date, JPMorgan 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) JPMorgan 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) JPMorgan shall make its own determination as to whether, when or in what manner
any hedging or market activities in securities of Counterparty 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 Forward Price; and (D) any market activities of JPMorgan and its affiliates
with respect to Shares may affect the market price and volatility of Shares in a manner that may be adverse to Counterparty.


 


(ii)       JPMorgan
agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to establish its initial Hedge Positions, or portion thereof, with respect to the
Transactions that consists of over-the-counter equity derivative transactions relating to the Shares with one or more counterparties
that JPMorgan believes in good faith to be purchaser(s) of the Notes at or around the time it agrees to enter into such transaction
with each such counterparty (it being understood that for the avoidance of doubt, following the establishment of such Hedge Position,
JPMorgan shall not be required to maintain any such Hedge Positions with any such counterparties). JPMorgan further agrees that
it will not establish subsequent Hedge Positions, or any portion thereof, with respect to the Transactions that relate to the Shares,
unless JPMorgan has reason to believe, in good faith, that the counterparty to a transaction in respect of any such Hedge Position
is a holder of the Notes at or around the time it agrees to enter into such transaction with JPMorgan (it being understood that,
for the avoidance of doubt, following the establishment of such subsequent Hedge Position, JPMorgan shall not be required to maintain
such Hedge Position with such counterparty).


 


(s)       Role
of Agent. Each party agrees and acknowledges that (i) J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, an affiliate of JPMorgan (“JPMS”),
has acted solely as agent and not as principal with respect to the Transaction and (ii) JPMS has no obligation or liability, by
way of guaranty, endorsement or otherwise, in any manner in respect of the Transaction (including, if applicable, in respect of
the settlement thereof). Each party agrees it will look solely to the other party (or any guarantor in respect thereof) for performance
of such other party’s obligations under the Transaction.


 


(t)       Tax
Matters.


 


(i)       For
the purpose of Sections 4(a)(i) and (ii) of the Agreement, Counterparty agrees to deliver to Dealer one duly executed and completed
United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or successor thereto) and Dealer agrees to deliver to Counterparty, as applicable,
a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-9 (or successor thereto), (a) on or before the date of execution of this
Confirmation and (b) promptly upon learning that any such tax form previously provided has become obsolete or incorrect, and further
Counterparty and Dealer shall promptly provide such other tax forms and documents as reasonably requested.


 


(ii)       Withholding
Tax imposed on payments to non-U.S. counterparties under the United States Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act. “Indemnifiable
Tax”, 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 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.


 




    	16



     


    

 


(iii)       HIRE
Act. “Indemnifiable Tax”, as defined in Section 14 of the Agreement, shall not include any tax imposed on
