	Re:	 Base Call Option Transaction 



The purpose of this letter agreement (this “Confirmation”) is to confirm the terms and conditions of the call option
transaction entered into between Barclays Bank PLC (“Dealer”), through its agent Barclays Capital Inc. (the “Agent”), and CONMED Corporation (“Counterparty”) as of the Trade Date specified
below (the “Transaction”). This letter agreement constitutes a “Confirmation” as referred to in the ISDA Master Agreement specified below. Each party further agrees that this Confirmation together with the Agreement
evidence a complete binding agreement between Counterparty and Dealer as to the subject matter and terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates, and shall supersede all prior or contemporaneous written or oral communications with
respect thereto. Dealer is not a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. Dealer is authorized by the Prudential Regulation Authority and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority.

 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 are based on terms that are defined in the Offering Memorandum dated June 1, 2022 (the “Offering Memorandum”) relating to the 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (as originally
issued by Counterparty, the “Convertible Notes” and each USD 1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, a “Convertible Note”) issued by Counterparty in an aggregate initial principal amount of USD 700,000,000 (as
increased up to an aggregate principal amount of USD 800,000,000 if and to the extent that the Initial Purchasers (as defined herein) exercise their option to purchase additional Convertible Notes pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (as defined
herein)) pursuant to an Indenture to be dated as of June 6, 2022, between Counterparty and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as 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 the parties 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. Subject to the foregoing, 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 or supplemented following such date (other than any amendment or supplement (x) pursuant to
Section 10.01(k) of the Indenture that, as determined by the Calculation Agent, conforms the Indenture to the description of Convertible Notes in the Offering Memorandum or (y) pursuant to Section 14.07 of the Indenture, subject, in
the case of this clause (y), to the second paragraph under “Method of Adjustment” in Section 3), any such amendment or supplement will be disregarded for purposes of this Confirmation (other than as provided in Section 10(g)(iii)
below) 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 2002 ISDA Master Agreement (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 (without reference to choice of law doctrine); (ii) the election of USD as the Termination Currency and
(iii) the election that the “Cross Default” provisions of Section 5(a)(vi) of the Agreement shall apply to Dealer, with a “Threshold Amount of 3% of the shareholders’ equity of Dealer provided that (a) the
phrase “, or becoming capable at such time of being declared,” shall be deleted from clause (1) of such Section 5(a)(vi) of the Agreement, (b) “Specified Indebtedness” shall have the meaning specified in Section 14
of the Agreement, except that such term shall not include obligations in respect of deposits received in the ordinary course of Dealer’s banking business and (c) the following language shall be added to the end of Section 5(a)(vi) of
the Agreement: “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 relevant 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 provisions of the 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 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 to be existing ISDA Master Agreement, and the occurrence of any Event of Default or Termination Event under the Agreement
with respect to either party or the Transaction shall not, by itself, give rise to any right or obligation under any such other agreement or deemed agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other agreement between the parties or
their affiliates, the Transactions shall not be “Specified Transactions” (or similarly treated) under any other agreement between the parties or their affiliates and amounts due under the Agreement shall not be subject to any right of set-off under any such other agreement

mismatches and actual market losses) and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by Dealer or any of its affiliates in connection with its
commercially reasonable hedging activities (including the unwinding of any commercially reasonable hedge position) as a result of it not having received such notice prior to such Notice Deadline. Counterparty acknowledges its responsibilities under

		  	(i) if Counterparty has elected to settle its conversion obligations in respect of the related Convertible Note without electing a Cash Percentage pursuant to Section 14.02(a)(ii) of the Indenture, then the Relevant Settlement
Method for such Option shall be Net Share Settlement;
		
		  	(ii) if Counterparty has elected to settle its conversion obligations in respect of the related Convertible Note with the election of a Cash Percentage of less than 100% pursuant to Section 14.02(a)(ii) of the Indenture, then

	 Net Share Settlement:
	  	If Net Share Settlement is applicable to any Option exercised or deemed exercised hereunder, Dealer will deliver to Counterparty, on the relevant Settlement Date for each such Option, a number of Shares (the “Net Share
Settlement Amount”) equal to the sum, for each Valid Day during the Settlement Averaging Period for each such Option, of (i) (a) the Daily Option Value for such Valid Day, divided by (b) the Relevant Price on such Valid Day, divided
by (ii) the number of Valid Days in the Settlement Averaging Period; provided that in no event shall the Net Share Settlement Amount for any Option exceed a number of Shares equal to the Applicable Limit for such Option divided by the
Applicable Limit Price on the Settlement Date for such Option.
		
		  	Dealer will pay cash in lieu of delivering any fractional Shares to be delivered with respect to any Net Share Settlement Amount valued at the Relevant Price for the last Valid Day of the Settlement Averaging Period.
		
	 Combination Settlement:
	  	If Combination Settlement is applicable to any Option exercised or deemed exercised hereunder, Dealer will pay or deliver, as the case may be, to Counterparty, on the relevant Settlement Date for each such Option:
		
		  	(i) cash (the “Combination Settlement Cash Amount”) equal to the sum, for each Valid Day during the Settlement Averaging Period for such Option, of (A) an amount equal to the product of (1) the Daily Option Value
and (2) the Cash Percentage, divided by (B) the number of Valid Days in the Settlement Averaging Period; and
		
		  	 (ii) Shares (the “Combination Settlement Share Amount”) equal to the sum, for each Valid Day during the Settlement Averaging Period
for such Option, of a number of Shares for such Valid Day (the “Daily Combination Settlement Share Amount”) equal to (A) an amount equal to the product of (1) the Daily Option Value and (2) a percentage equal to (x) 100%
minus (y) the Cash Percentage, divided by (B) the product of (1) number of Valid Days in the Settlement Averaging Period and (2) the Relevant Price on such Valid Day;

 
 provided that in no event shall the sum of (x) the Combination Settlement
Cash Amount for any Option and (y) the Combination Settlement Share Amount for such Option multiplied by the Applicable Limit Price on the Settlement Date for such Option, exceed the Applicable Limit for such Option.

		
		  	Dealer will pay cash in lieu of delivering any fractional Shares to be delivered with respect to any Combination Settlement Share Amount valued at the Relevant Price for the last Valid Day of the Settlement Averaging
Period.
		
	 Cash Settlement:
	  	If Cash Settlement is applicable to any Option exercised or deemed exercised hereunder, in lieu of Section 8.1 of the Equity Definitions, Dealer will pay to Counterparty, on the relevant Settlement Date for each such Option,
an


  
 6 













			
		  	amount of cash (the “Cash Settlement Amount”) equal to the sum, for each Valid Day during the Settlement Averaging Period for such Option, of (i) the Daily Option Value for such Valid Day, divided by (ii) the
number of Valid Days in the Settlement Averaging Period.
		
	 Daily Option Value
	  	For any Valid Day, an amount equal to (i) the Option Entitlement on such Valid Day, multiplied by (ii) the Relevant Price on such Valid Day less the Strike Price on such Valid Day; provided that if the calculation
contained in clause (ii) above results in a negative number, the Daily Option Value for such Valid Day shall be deemed to be zero. In no event will the Daily Option Value be less than zero.
		
	 Make-Whole Adjustment:
	  	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in respect of any exercise of Options relating to a conversion of Convertible Notes for which additional Shares will be added to the “Conversion Rate” (as defined in the
Indenture) as determined pursuant to Section 14.03 of the Indenture, the Daily Option Value shall be calculated as if the Option Entitlement included the Applicable Percentage of the number of such additional Shares as determined with reference
to the adjustment set forth in such Section 14.03 of the Indenture; provided that if the sum of (i) the product of (a) the number of Shares (if any) deliverable by Dealer to Counterparty per exercised Option and (b) the
Applicable Limit Price on the Settlement Date and (ii) the amount of cash (if any) payable by Dealer to Counterparty per exercised Option would otherwise exceed the amount per Option, as determined by the Calculation Agent, that would be
payable by Dealer under Section 6 of the Agreement if (x) the relevant Conversion Date were an Early Termination Date resulting from an Additional Termination Event with respect to which the Transaction was the sole Affected Transaction
and Counterparty was the sole Affected Party and (y) Section 14.03 of the Indenture were deleted, the Daily Option Value shall be proportionately reduced to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess.
		
	 Applicable Limit:
	  	For any Option, an amount of cash equal to the Applicable Percentage multiplied by the excess of (i) the aggregate of (A) the amount of cash, if any, paid or payable to the Holder of the related Convertible Note upon
conversion of such Convertible Note and (B) the number of Shares, if any, delivered or deliverable to the Holder of the related Convertible Note upon conversion of such Convertible Note multiplied by the Applicable Limit Price on the Settlement
Date for such Option, over (ii) USD 1,000.
		
	 Applicable Limit Price:
	  	On any day, the opening price as displayed under the heading “Op” on Bloomberg page CNMD <equity> (or any successor thereto).

of the period from the scheduled opening time of the Exchange to the Scheduled Closing Time of the Exchange on such Valid Day (or if such volume-weighted average price is unavailable at such time, the market value of one Share on such Valid Day, as
determined by the Calculation Agent in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner using, if practicable, a volume-weighted average method). The Relevant Price will be determined without regard to after-hours trading or any other trading
outside of the regular trading session trading hours.
		
	 Settlement Averaging Period:
	  	For any Option:
		
		  	 (i) if the related Conversion Date occurs prior to the Free Convertibility Date, the 50
consecutive Valid Days commencing on, and including, the second Valid Day following such Conversion Date; or

		
		  	 (ii)  if the related Conversion Date occurs on or following the Free Convertibility

	 Representation and Agreement:
	  	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Equity Definitions (including, but not limited to, Section 9.11 thereof), the parties acknowledge that (i) any Shares delivered to Counterparty shall be, upon delivery,
subject to restrictions and limitations arising from Counterparty’s status as issuer of the Shares under applicable securities laws, (ii) Dealer may deliver any Shares required to be delivered hereunder in certificated form in lieu of
delivery through the Clearance System and (iii) any Shares delivered to Counterparty may be “restricted securities” (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities

	 Potential Adjustment Events:
	  	Notwithstanding Section 11.2(e) of the Equity Definitions, a “Potential Adjustment Event” means an occurrence of any event or condition, as set forth in any Dilution Adjustment Provision, that would result in an
adjustment under the Indenture to the “Conversion Rate” or the composition of a “unit of Reference Property” or to any “Last Reported Sale Price”, “Daily VWAP”, “Daily Conversion Value” or
“Daily Settlement Amount” (each as defined in the Indenture). For the avoidance of doubt, Dealer shall not have any delivery or payment obligation hereunder, and no adjustment shall be made to the terms of the Transaction, on account of
(x) any distribution of cash, property or securities by Counterparty to holders of the Convertible Notes (upon conversion or otherwise) or (y) any other transaction in which holders of the Convertible Notes are entitled to participate, in
each case, in lieu of an adjustment under the Indenture of the type referred to in the immediately preceding sentence (including, without limitation, pursuant to the third paragraph of Section 14.04(c) of the Indenture or the fourth paragraph
of Section 14.04(d) of the Indenture).
		
	 Method of Adjustment:
	  	Calculation Agent Adjustment, which means that, notwithstanding Section 11.2(c) of the Equity Definitions, upon any Potential Adjustment Event, the Calculation Agent shall make a corresponding adjustment in respect of any
adjustment to the Convertible Notes under the Indenture 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 for the Transaction.
		
		  	Notwithstanding the foregoing and “Consequences of Merger Events / Tender Offers” below:
		
		  	 (i) if the Calculation Agent in good faith and acting in a commercially reasonable manner
disagrees with any adjustment to the Convertible Notes determined pursuant to the Indenture that



  
 9 













			
		  	 involves an exercise of discretion by Counterparty or its board of directors (including, without limitation, pursuant
to Section 14.05 of the Indenture, Section 14.07 of the Indenture or any supplemental indenture entered into thereunder or in connection with any proportional adjustment or the determination of the fair value of any securities, property,
rights or other assets), then in each such case, 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 for the Transaction in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner;

		
		  	 (ii)  in connection with any Potential Adjustment Event as a result of an event or
condition set forth in Section 14.04(b) of the Indenture or Section 14.04(c) of the Indenture where, in either case, the period for determining “Y” (as such term is used in Section 14.04(b) of the Indenture) or
“SP0” (as such term is used in Section 14.04(c) of the Indenture), as the case may be, begins before Counterparty has publicly announced the event or condition giving rise to such Potential Adjustment Event, then the Calculation Agent
shall have the right to adjust any variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment for the Transaction as appropriate to reflect the costs (including, but not limited to, hedging mismatches and market losses) and expenses incurred by Dealer
in connection with its commercially reasonable hedging activities customary for transactions of this type (subject to the requirements set forth under “Hedging Adjustments” below) as a result of such event or condition not having been
publicly announced prior to the beginning of such period; and

		
		  	 (iii)  if any Potential Adjustment Event is declared and (a) the event or
condition giving rise to such Potential Adjustment Event is subsequently amended, modified, cancelled or abandoned, (b) the “Conversion Rate” (as defined in the Indenture) is otherwise not adjusted at the time or in the manner
contemplated by the relevant Dilution Adjustment Provision based on such declaration or (c) the “Conversion Rate” (as defined in the Indenture) is adjusted as a result of such Potential Adjustment Event and subsequently re-adjusted (each of clauses (a), (b) and (c), a “Potential Adjustment Event Change”) then, in each case, the Calculation Agent shall have the right to adjust any variable relevant to the exercise,
settlement or payment for the Transaction as appropriate to reflect the



  
 10 













			
		  	 costs (including, but not limited to, hedging mismatches and market losses) and expenses incurred by Dealer in
connection with its commercially reasonable hedging activities customary for transactions of this type (subject to the requirements set forth under “Hedging Adjustments” below) as a result of such Potential Adjustment Event
Change.

		
	 Dilution Adjustment Provisions:
	  	Sections 14.04(a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) and Section 14.05 of the Indenture.
	
	 Extraordinary Events applicable to the Transaction:

		
	 Merger Events:
	  	Applicable; provided that notwithstanding Section 12.1(b) of the Equity Definitions, a “Merger Event” means the occurrence of any event or condition set forth in the definition of “Specified Corporate
Event” in Section 14.07(a) of the Indenture.
		
	 Tender Offers:
	  	Applicable; provided that notwithstanding Section 12.1(d) of the Equity Definitions, a “Tender Offer” means the occurrence of any event or condition set forth in Section 14.04(e) of the
Indenture.
		
	 Consequences of Merger Events /
	  	
	 Tender Offers:
	  	Notwithstanding Section 12.2 and Section 12.3 of the Equity Definitions, upon the occurrence of a Merger Event or a Tender Offer, the Calculation Agent shall make a corresponding adjustment in respect of any adjustment
under the Indenture to any one or more of the nature of the Shares (in the case of a Merger Event), Strike Price, Number of Options, Option Entitlement and any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment for the Transaction,
subject to the second paragraph under “Method of Adjustment”; provided, however, that such adjustment shall be made without regard to any adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to any Excluded Provision; provided further
that if, with respect to a Merger Event or a Tender Offer, (i) the consideration for the Shares includes (or, at the option of a holder of Shares, may include) shares of an entity or person that is not a corporation or is not organized under
the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia or (ii) the Counterparty to the Transaction following such Merger Event or Tender Offer will not be a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any
State thereof or the District of Columbia, then, in either case, Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination) may apply at Dealer’s sole election.
		
	 Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting:
	  	Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination); provided that, in addition to the provisions of Section 12.6(a)(iii) of the Equity Definitions, it will also constitute a Delisting if the Exchange is located
in the United States and the Shares are not immediately re-listed, re-traded or re-quoted on any of the New York Stock Exchange,
The NASDAQ


  
 11 













			
		  	Global Select Market or The NASDAQ Global Market (or their respective successors); if the Shares are immediately re-listed, re-traded or re-quoted on any of the New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market or The NASDAQ Global Market (or their respective successors), such exchange or quotation system shall thereafter be deemed to be the

 8. Mutual Representations.
Each of Dealer and Counterparty represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the other party that: 
  

	 	(a)	 It 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)	 It is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under Securities Act.



  

	 	(c)	 (A) It is acting for its own account, and it has made its own independent decisions to enter into the
Transaction and as to whether the Transaction is appropriate or proper for it based upon its own judgment and upon advice from such advisers as it has deemed necessary, (B) it is not relying on any communication (written or oral) of the other party
or any of the other party’s affiliates as investment advice or as a recommendation to enter into the Transaction (it being understood that information and explanations related to the terms and conditions of the Transaction shall not be
considered investment advice or a recommendation to enter into the Transaction) and (C) no communication (written or oral) received from the other party or any of the other party’s affiliates shall be deemed to be an assurance or guarantee as
to the expected results of the Transaction. 


  

	 	(d)	 It is not required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice of any relevant governmental revenue
authority, of any Relevant Jurisdiction to make any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax from any payment (other than interest under Section 9(h) of the Agreement) to




  
 15 













	 	
be made by it to the other party under the Agreement. In making this representation, it may rely on (i) the accuracy of any representations made by the other party pursuant to
Section 3(f) of the Agreement (but replacing in Section 3(f) the word “Schedule” with the word “Confirmation”) and Sections 8 and 9 of this Confirmation, (ii) the satisfaction of the agreement contained in
Section 4(a)(i) or 4(a)(iii) of the Agreement or Section 10(z) of this Confirmation and the accuracy and effectiveness of any document provided by the other party pursuant to Section 4(a)(i) or 4(a)(iii) of the Agreement or
Section 10(z) of this Confirmation and (iii) the satisfaction of the agreement of the other party contained in Section 4(d) of the Agreement (but replacing in Section 3(f) the word “Schedule” with the word
“Confirmation”), except that it will not be a breach of this representation where reliance is placed on clause (ii) above and the other party does not deliver a form or document under Section 4(a)(iii) by reason of material
prejudice to its legal or commercial position. 

  

	 	(e)	 Counterparty represents that it is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a U.S. person (as that
term is used in Section 1.1441-4(a)(3)(ii) of the United States Treasury Regulations), and an exempt recipient under Section 1.6049-4(c)(1)(ii) of the United
States Treasury Regulations. 


 Dealer makes the following representation to Counterparty: 

 

	 	i.	 Each payment received or to be received by it in connection with the Agreement is effectively connected with
its conduct of a trade or business within the United States; and 


  

	 	ii.	 It is a “foreign person” (as that term is used in
Section 1.6041-4(a)(4) of the United States Treasury Regulations) for United States federal income tax purposes. 



9. Representations and Warranties of Counterparty. 

Counterparty hereby represents and warrants to Dealer on the date hereof and on and as of the Premium Payment Date that: 

 

	 	(a)	 Counterparty 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. 



 

	 	(b)	 Neither the execution and delivery of this Confirmation nor the incurrence or performance of obligations of
Counterparty hereunder will conflict with or result in a breach of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or any equivalent documents) of Counterparty, or any applicable law or regulation, or any order,
writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or agency, or 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, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien under, any such agreement or instrument. 



 

	 	(c)	 No 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 such as may be required under the Securities Act or state securities laws.



  

	 	(d)	 Counterparty is not and, after consummation of 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. 



  
 16 













	 	(e)	 Counterparty is not, on the date hereof, in possession of any material
non-public information with respect to Counterparty or the Shares. 


  

	 	(f)	 To the knowledge of Counterparty, no state or local (including any
non-U.S. jurisdiction’s) 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; provided that Counterparty makes no representation or warranty regarding any such requirement
that is applicable generally to the ownership of equity securities by Dealer or any of its affiliates solely as a result of it or any such affiliates being a financial institution, investment advisor or broker-dealer. 



 

	 	(g)	 Counterparty (A) is capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard
to this Transaction; (B) will exercise independent judgment in evaluating the recommendations of the Dealer or its associated persons in connection with this Transaction, unless it has otherwise notified the broker-dealer in writing; and
(C) has total assets of at least USD 50 million. 


  

	 	(h)	 The assets of Counterparty 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. 


  

	 	(i)	 Counterparty acknowledges that the Transaction may constitute a purchase of the Issuer’s equity securities
or a capital distribution. Counterparty further acknowledges that, pursuant to the provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “Cares Act”), the Counterparty and Issuer will be required to agree to certain
time-bound restrictions on its ability to purchase its equity securities or make capital distributions if Counterparty and/or Issuer receive loans, loan guarantees or direct loans (as that term is defined in the Cares Act) under section 4003(b) of
the Cares Act. Counterparty further acknowledges that it may be required to agree to certain time-bound restrictions on its ability to purchase its and/or the Issuer’s equity securities or make capital distributions if it receives loans, loan
guarantees or direct loans (as that term is defined in the Cares Act) under programs or facilities established by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System for the purpose of providing liquidity to the financial system. Accordingly,
Counterparty represents and warrants that neither it nor the Issuer has applied, and throughout the term of this Transaction shall not apply, for a loan, loan guarantee, direct loan (as that term is defined in the Cares Act) or other investment, or
to receive any financial assistance or relief (howsoever defined) under any program or facility that (a) is established under applicable law, including the Cares Act and the Federal Reserve Act, as amended, and (b) requires, as a condition
of such loan, loan guarantee, direct loan (as that term is defined in the Cares Act), investment, financial assistance or relief, that the Counterparty or the Issuer agree, attest, certify or warrant that it has not, as of the date specified in such
condition, repurchased, or will not repurchase, any equity security of Counterparty or the Issuer and that it has not, as of the date specified in such condition, made a capital distribution or will not make a capital distribution. Counterparty
further represents and warrants that the Premium is not being paid, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with funds received under or pursuant to any program or facility, including the U.S. Small Business Administration’s “Paycheck
Protection Program”, that (a) is established under applicable law (whether in existence as of the Trade Date or subsequently enacted, adopted or amended), including without limitation the Cares Act and the Federal Reserve Act, as amended,
and (b) requires under such applicable law (or any regulation, guidance, interpretation or other pronouncement of a governmental authority with jurisdiction for such program or facility) that such funds be used for specified or enumerated
purposes that do not include the purchase of the Transaction (either by specific reference to the Transaction or by general reference to transactions with the attributes of the Transaction in all relevant respects). 



 

	 	(j)	 On and immediately after the Trade Date and the Premium Payment Date, (A) the value of the total assets of
Company is greater than the sum of the total liabilities (including contingent liabilities) and the capital (as such terms are defined in Section 154 and Section 244 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware) of Company,
(B) the capital of Company is adequate to 



  
 17 













	 	
conduct the business of Company, and Company’s entry into the Transaction will not impair its capital, (C) Company has the ability to pay its debts and obligations as such debts mature
and does not intend to, or does not believe that it will, incur debt beyond its ability to pay as such debts mature, (D) Company will be able to continue as a going concern and (E) Company 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”)). 


10. Other Provisions. 
  

	 	(a)	 Opinions. Counterparty shall deliver to Dealer an opinion of counsel, dated as of the Premium
Payment Date, with respect to (i) valid existence of Counterparty, (ii) due authorization, execution, delivery and enforceability of this Confirmation and (iii) no conflict of the Transaction with applicable federal laws of the United
States or laws of the State of New York or a list of identified contracts. Delivery of such opinion to Dealer shall be a condition precedent for the purpose of Section 2(a)(iii) of the Agreement with respect to each obligation of Dealer under
Section 2(a)(i) of the Agreement. 


  

	 	(b)	 Repurchase Notices. Counterparty shall, no later than the day on which Counterparty effects any
repurchase of Shares, give Dealer a written notice of such repurchase (a “Repurchase Notice”) if following such repurchase, the number of outstanding Shares as determined on such day is (i) less than 26.03 million (in the
case of the first such notice) or (ii) thereafter more than 2.75 million less than the number of Shares included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice. Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Dealer and its affiliates
and their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors, agents and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all losses (including losses relating to Dealer’s commercially reasonable
hedging activities as a consequence 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 reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), joint or several, which an Indemnified Person actually may become subject to, as a result of Counterparty’s failure
to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice when 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 (and
supported by invoices or other documentation setting forth in reasonable detail such expenses) in connection with investigating, preparing for, providing testimony or other evidence in connection with or defending any of the foregoing. If any such
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 reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. Counterparty shall be relieved from liability to the extent that any
Indemnified Person fails promptly to notify Counterparty of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder to the extent Counterparty is materially prejudiced as a result thereof. 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 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




  
 18 













	 	
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)	 Regulation M. Counterparty is not on the Trade Date engaged in a distribution, as such term is
used in Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), of any securities of Counterparty, other than a distribution meeting the requirements of the exception set forth in Rules 101(b)(10)
and 102(b)(7) of Regulation M. Counterparty shall not, until the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date, engage in any such distribution. 



 

	 	(d)	 No Manipulation. Counterparty is not entering into the Transaction to create actual or apparent
trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or otherwise in
violation of the Exchange Act. 


  

	 	(e)	 Transfer or Assignment. 



 

	 	(i)	 Counterparty shall have the right to transfer or assign its rights and obligations hereunder with respect to
all, but not less than all, of the Options hereunder (such Options, the “Transfer Options”); provided that such transfer or assignment shall be subject to 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 10(b) or any obligations under Section 10(n) or 10(s) of this Confirmation; 


  

	 	(B)	 Any Transfer Options shall only be transferred or assigned to a third party that is a United States person (as
that term is used in Section 1.1441-4(a)(3)(ii) of the United States Treasury Regulations); 


  

	 	(C)	 Such transfer or assignment shall be effected on terms, including any reasonable undertakings by such third
party (including, but not limited to, an undertaking 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 reasonably requested by and reasonably satisfactory to Dealer; 



 

	 	(D)	 Dealer will 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 will not occur as a result of such
transfer and assignment; 


  

	 	(F)	 Without limiting the generality of clause (B), Counterparty shall cause 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




  
 19 













	 	(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. 


  

	 	(ii)	 Dealer may transfer or assign all or any part of its rights or obligations under the Transaction
(A) without Counterparty’s consent, to any affiliate of Dealer (1) that has a long-term issuer rating that is equal to or better than Dealer’s credit rating at the time of such transfer or assignment, or (2) whose
obligations hereunder will be guaranteed, pursuant to the terms of a customary guarantee in a form used by Dealer generally for similar transactions, by Dealer or Dealer parent (provided that, in connection with any assignment or transfer
pursuant to clause (A) hereof, the guarantee of any guarantor of the relevant transferee’s obligations under the Transaction shall constitute a Credit Support Document under the Agreement), or (B) with Counterparty’s consent
(such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to any other recognized dealer in transactions of the same type as the Transaction with a long-term issuer rating equal to or better than the lesser of (1) the credit rating of Dealer 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 Dealer; provided that, in the case of any transfer or assignment described in clause
(A) or (B) above, (I) an Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or Termination Event will not occur as a result of such transfer and assignment and (II) (a) such transfer or assignment shall not result in a deemed exchange by
Counterparty within the meaning of Section 1001 of the Code, (b) Counterparty will not receive from the transferee or assignee on any payment date or delivery date an amount or a number of Shares, as applicable, lower than the amount or
the number of Shares, as applicable, that Dealer would have been required to pay or deliver to Counterparty in the absence of such transfer or assignment, (c) Counterparty will not, as a result of such transfer or assignment, be required to pay
the transferee or assignee on any payment date an amount under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement greater than an amount that Counterparty would have been required to pay to Dealer in the absence of such transfer or assignment, and
(d) Dealer shall cause the transferee or assignee to make such Payee Tax Representations and to provide such tax documentation as may be reasonably requested by Counterparty to permit Counterparty to determine that events described in clauses
(II)(b) and (c) of this proviso will not occur upon or after such transfer or assignment. If at any time at which (A) the Section 16 Percentage exceeds 8.0%, (B) the Option 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”), Dealer is unable after using its commercially reasonable efforts to effect a transfer or
assignment of Options to a third party on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to Dealer and within a time period reasonably acceptable to Dealer such that no Excess Ownership Position exists, then Dealer 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 Dealer 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 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 Options equal to the number of Options 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 10(j) 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
“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 Dealer and any of its affiliates or any other person subject to
aggregation with Dealer 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 Dealer is or may be deemed to
be a 



  
 20 













	 	
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 “Option Equity
Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the sum of (1) the product of the Number of Options and the Option Entitlement and (2) the aggregate number of Shares
underlying any other call option transaction sold by Dealer to Counterparty, 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 Dealer and any
person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Dealer (Dealer or any such person, a “Dealer 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 Dealer in its reasonable discretion. The “Applicable Share Limit” means a number of Shares equal to (A) the minimum number of Shares that, in Dealer’s reasonable judgment based on
advice of counsel, could give rise to reporting or registration obligations (except for filings on Form 13F, Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G) or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval from any person or entity) of a Dealer Person, or
could result in an adverse effect on a Dealer Person, under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion, minus (B) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding. Dealer shall notify Counterparty of an Excess
Ownership Position with respect to which it intends to seek a transfer or assignment promptly after becoming aware of such an Excess Ownership Position. 

  

	 	(iii)	 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, or make or receive any payment in cash, to or from Counterparty, Dealer 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 Dealer’s obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to (and only
to) the extent of any such performance. 


  

	 	(f)	 Staggered Settlement. If upon advice of counsel with respect to applicable legal and regulatory
requirements, including any requirements relating to Dealer’s commercially reasonable hedging activities hereunder, Dealer 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 Dealer on any Settlement Date for the Transaction, Dealer may, by notice to Counterparty on or prior to any Settlement Date (a “Nominal Settlement Date”), elect to deliver the Shares on two or
more dates (each, a “Staggered 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;



  

	 	(ii)	 the aggregate number of Shares that Dealer will deliver to Counterparty hereunder on all such Staggered
Settlement Dates 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 terms or the Combination Settlement terms set forth above were to apply on the
Nominal Settlement Date, then the Net Share Settlement terms or the Combination Settlement terms, as the case may be, will apply on each Staggered Settlement Date, except that the Shares otherwise deliverable on such Nominal Settlement Date will be
allocated among such Staggered Settlement Dates as specified by Dealer in the notice referred to in clause (i) above. 



  
 21 













	 	(g)	 Role of Agent. Each of Dealer and Counterparty acknowledges to and agrees with the
other party hereto and to and with the Agent that (i) the Agent is acting as agent for Dealer under the Transaction pursuant to instructions from such party, (ii) the Agent is not a principal or party to the Transaction, and may transfer
its rights and obligations with respect to the Transaction, (iii) the Agent shall have no responsibility, obligation or liability, by way of issuance, guaranty, endorsement or otherwise in any manner with respect to the performance of either
party under the Transaction, (iv) Dealer and the Agent have not given, and Counterparty is not relying (for purposes of making any investment decision or otherwise) upon, any statements, opinions or representations (whether written or oral) of
Dealer or the Agent, other than the representations expressly set forth in this Confirmation or the Agreement, and (v) each party agrees to proceed solely against the other party, and not the Agent, to collect or recover any money or securities
owed to it in connection with the Transaction. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that the Agent is an intended third party beneficiary hereunder. Counterparty acknowledges that the Agent is an affiliate of Dealer. Dealer will be acting for
its own account in respect of this Confirmation and the Transaction contemplated hereunder. 


  

	 	(h)	 Dividends. If at any time during the period from and including the Effective Date, to but
excluding the Expiration Date, (i) an ex-dividend date for a regular quarterly cash dividend occurs with respect to the Shares (an “Ex-Dividend
Date”), and that dividend is less than the Regular Dividend on a per Share basis or (ii) if no Ex-Dividend Date for a regular quarterly cash dividend occurs with respect to the Shares in any
quarterly dividend period of Counterparty, then the Calculation Agent will make a corresponding adjustment to any one or more of the Strike Price, Number of Options, Option Entitlement and/or any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement
or payment for the Transaction to preserve the fair value of the Options to Dealer after taking into account such dividend or lack thereof. “Regular Dividend” shall mean USD 0.20 per Share per quarter. Upon any adjustment to the
“Initial Dividend Threshold” (as defined in the Indenture) for the Convertible Notes pursuant to the Indenture, the Calculation Agent will make a corresponding adjustment to the Regular Dividend for the Transaction. 



 

	 	(i)	 Additional Termination Events. 



 

	 	(i)	 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation if an event of default with respect to
Counterparty occurs under the terms of the Convertible Notes as set forth in Section 6.01 of the Indenture that results in the Convertible Notes being declared due and payable pursuant to the Indenture, then such event of default 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. 


  

	 	(ii)	 Promptly (but in any event within five Scheduled Trading Days) following any Repurchase Event (as defined
below), Counterparty may notify Dealer of such Repurchase Event and the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes subject to such Repurchase Event (any such notice, a “Convertible Notes Repurchase Notice”); provided that any
such Convertible Notes Repurchase Notice shall contain an acknowledgment by Counterparty of its responsibilities under applicable securities laws, and in particular Section 9 and Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder, in respect of such Repurchase Event and the delivery of such Convertible Notes Repurchase Notice. The receipt by Dealer from Counterparty of any Convertible Notes Repurchase Notice shall constitute an Additional Termination
Event as provided herein. Upon receipt of any such Convertible Notes Repurchase Notice, Dealer shall designate an Exchange Business Day following receipt of such Convertible Notes Repurchase Notice (which Exchange Business Day shall be on or as
promptly as reasonably practicable after the related settlement date for the relevant Repurchase Event) 



  
 22 













	 	
as an Early Termination Date with respect to the portion of the Transaction corresponding to a number of Option (the “Repurchase Note Options”) equal to the lesser of
(A) the aggregate principal amount of such Convertible Notes specified in such Convertible Notes Repurchase Notice, divided by USD 1,000 and (B) the Number of Options as of the date Dealer designates such Early Termination Date and, as of
such date, the Number of Options shall be reduced by the number of Repurchase Note Options. Any payment hereunder with respect to such termination (the “Repurchase Unwind Payment”) shall be calculated pursuant to Section 6 of
the 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 Options equal to the number of Repurchase Note Options, (2) Counterparty were the
sole Affected Party with respect to such Additional Termination Event and (3) the terminated portion of the Transaction were the sole Affected Transaction. “Repurchase Event” means that (i) any Convertible Notes are
repurchased (whether pursuant to Section 15.02 of the Indenture or otherwise) by Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) any Convertible Notes are delivered to Counterparty in exchange for delivery of any property or assets of
Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries (howsoever described), (iii) any principal of any of the Convertible Notes is repaid prior to the final maturity date of the Convertible Notes (whether following acceleration of the Convertible Notes or
otherwise), or (iv) any Convertible Notes are exchanged by or for the benefit of the Holders (as defined in the Indenture) thereof for any other securities of Counterparty or any of its affiliates (or any other property, or any combination
thereof) pursuant to any exchange offer or similar transaction; provided that any conversion of Convertible Notes pursuant to the terms of the Indenture shall not constitute a Repurchase Event. 


 

	 	(iii)	 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, the occurrence of an Amendment Event 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. “Amendment Event” means that Counterparty amends, modifies, supplements, waives or
obtains a waiver in respect of any term of the Indenture or the Convertible Notes governing the principal amount, coupon, maturity, repurchase obligation of Counterparty, redemption right of Counterparty, any term relating to conversion of the
Convertible Notes (including changes to the conversion rate, conversion rate adjustment provisions, conversion settlement dates or conversion conditions), or any term that would require consent of the holders of not less than 100% of the principal
amount of the Convertible Notes to amend (other than, in each case, any amendment or supplement (x) pursuant to Section 10.01(k) of the Indenture that, as determined by the Calculation Agent, conforms the Indenture to the description of
Convertible Notes in the Offering Memorandum or (y) pursuant to Section 14.07 of the Indenture), in each case, without the consent of Dealer. 


  

	 	(j)	 Amendments to Equity Definitions. 



 

	 	(i)	 Section 12.6(a)(ii) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by (1) inserting “(1)”
immediately following the word “means” in the first line thereof and (2) inserting immediately prior to the semi-colon at the end of subsection (B) thereof the following words: “or (2) the occurrence of any of the
events specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(1) through (9) of the ISDA Master Agreement with respect to that Issuer”. 


  

	 	(ii)	 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. 



 

	 	(iii)	 Section 12.9(b)(vi) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by (1) adding the word “or”
immediately before subsection “(B)”, (2) deleting the comma at the end of subsection (A), (3) deleting subsection (C) in its entirety, (4) deleting the word “or” immediately preceding subsection (C) and (5)
replacing the words “either party” in the last sentence of such Section with “Dealer”. 



  
 23 













	 	(k)	 Setoff. Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement and this Confirmation (including without
limitation this Section 10(k)) or any other agreement between the parties to the contrary, each party waives any and all rights it may have to set off obligations arising under the Agreement and the Transaction against other obligations between
the parties, whether arising under any other agreement, applicable law or otherwise. 


  

	 	(l)	 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 (except as a result of (i) a Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event in which the consideration to be paid to holders of Shares consists solely of cash, (ii) a Merger Event or Tender Offer that is within
Counterparty’s control, or (iii) an Event of Default in which Counterparty is the Defaulting Party or a Termination Event in which Counterparty is the sole 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
if Dealer would owe any amount to Counterparty pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement or any Cancellation Amount pursuant to Article 12 of the Equity Definitions (any such amount, a “Payment Obligation”), then Dealer
shall satisfy the Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative (as defined below), unless (a) Counterparty gives irrevocable telephonic notice to Dealer, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day, no later than 12:00 p.m.
(New York City time) on the Merger Date, Tender Offer Date, Announcement Date (in the case of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), Early Termination Date or date of cancellation, as applicable, of its election that the Share Termination
Alternative shall not apply, (b) Counterparty remakes the representation set forth in Section 9(e) as of the date of such election and (c) Dealer agrees, in its sole discretion, to such election, in which case the provisions of
Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions, or the provisions of Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, as the case may be, shall apply. 



 

			
	 Share Termination Alternative:
	  	If applicable, Dealer 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 Agreement, as applicable, 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.
		
	 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. For the


  
 24 













			
		  	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.
		
	 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 (as modified above) of the Equity Definitions and the provisions set forth opposite the caption “Representation and Agreement” in
Section 2 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 Share Termination Alternative is applicable to the Transaction.

  

	 	(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 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. 


  

	 	(n)	 Registration. Counterparty hereby agrees that if, in the good faith reasonable judgment of
Dealer, based on the advice of counsel, the Shares (“Hedge Shares”) acquired and held by Dealer for the purpose of hedging its obligations pursuant to the Transaction cannot be sold in the public market by Dealer without
registration under the Securities Act (other than any such Hedge Shares that were, at the time of acquisition by Dealer, “restricted securities” (as defined in Rule 144 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 reasonably
satisfactory to Dealer, substantially in the form of an underwriting agreement for a registered secondary offering of substantially similar size and in a similar industry; 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 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, enter into a private placement agreement substantially similar to private placement




  
 25 













	 	
purchase agreements customary for private placements of equity securities of companies similar to Counterparty, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Dealer (in which case, the
Calculation Agent shall make any adjustments to the terms of the 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 then
held by Dealer in a private placement), or (iii) purchase the Hedge Shares from Dealer at the then-current market price on such Exchange Business Days, and in the amounts and at such time(s), reasonably requested by Dealer. 


 

	 	(o)	 Tax Disclosure. Effective from the date of commencement of discussions concerning the
Transaction, the parties and each of their 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 the parties relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. 


  

	 	(p)	 Right to Extend. Dealer may postpone or add, in whole or in part, any Valid Day or Valid Days
during the Settlement Averaging Period or any other date of valuation, payment or delivery by Dealer, with respect to some or all of the Options hereunder, if Dealer determines, in its commercially reasonable judgment and, in respect of clause
(ii) below, based on the advice of counsel, that such action is reasonably necessary or appropriate (i) to preserve Dealer’s commercially reasonable hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions
(but only if there is a material decrease in liquidity relative to Dealer’s commercially reasonable expectations on the Trade Date) or (ii) to enable Dealer to effect purchases of Shares 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 adopted in good faith by Dealer (so long as such policies and procedures are applied generally to counterparties similar to Counterparty and transactions similar to the Transaction). 



 

	 	(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 United States 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. 


  

	 	(r)	 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 (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, (ii) 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 (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. 


  

	 	(s)	 Notice of Certain Other Events. Counterparty covenants and agrees that: 



 

	 	(i)	 promptly following the public announcement of the results of any election by the holders of Shares with respect
to the consideration due upon consummation of any Merger Event, Counterparty shall give Dealer written notice of (x) the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration to be received by holders of Shares upon consummation of such
Merger Event or (y) if no holders of Shares affirmatively make such election, the types and amounts of consideration actually received by holders of Shares (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 Merger Event is consummated; and 



  
 26 













	 	(ii)	 (A) Counterparty shall give Dealer commercially reasonable advance (but in no event less than one Exchange
Business Day) written notice of the section or sections of the Indenture and, if applicable, the formula therein, pursuant to which any adjustment will be made to the Convertible Notes in connection with any Potential Adjustment Event, Merger Event
or Tender Offer and (B) promptly following any such adjustment, Counterparty shall give Dealer written notice of the details of such adjustment. 


  

	 	(t)	 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 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, an
Excess Ownership Position, or Illegality (as defined in the Agreement)). 


  

	 	(u)	 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 Relevant
Prices; and (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 Relevant Prices, each in a manner that may be adverse to Counterparty.



  

	 	(v)	 Early Unwind. In the event the sale of the “Underwritten Securities” (as defined
in the Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 1, 2022, by and between Counterparty and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC as representative of the initial purchasers) is not consummated with the Initial Purchasers for any reason, or Counterparty fails to
deliver to Dealer opinions of counsel as required pursuant to Section 10(a), in each case by 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Premium Payment Date, or such later date as agreed upon by the parties (the Premium Payment 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 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. Each of Dealer 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. 


  

	 	(w)	 Payment by Counterparty. In the event that, following payment of the Premium, (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 (other than an Event of Default arising under Section 5(a)(ii) or 5(a)(iv) of the Agreement) and, as a result,
Counterparty owes to Dealer an amount calculated under Section 6(e) of the Agreement, or (ii) Counterparty owes to Dealer, pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions, an amount calculated under Section 12.8 of the Equity
Definitions, such amount shall be deemed to be zero. 


  

	 	(x)	 Withholding Tax imposed on payments to non-US counterparties
under the United States Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act. “Tax” as used in Section 8(d) of this Confirmation and “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 U.S. Internal 



  
 27 













	 	
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. 


 

	 	(y)	 Delivery of Tax Forms. Counterparty shall deliver to Dealer a complete and duly executed United
States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or W-8) (or successor thereto) (i) upon execution and delivery of this agreement, (ii) promptly upon reasonable
demand by Dealer, and (iii) promptly upon learning that any such Form previously provided by Counterparty has become obsolete or incorrect. Dealer shall deliver to Counterparty a complete and duly executed United States Internal Revenue Service
Form W-9 (or W-8) (or successor thereto) (i) upon execution and delivery of this agreement and (ii) promptly upon learning that any such Form previously
provided by Dealer has become obsolete or incorrect. 


  

	 	(z)	 EMIR Portfolio Reconciliation, Dispute Resolution and Disclosure Protocol. The parties agree that the

	 	(aa)	 NFC Representation Protocol. The parties agree that the provisions set out in the
Attachment to the ISDA 2013 EMIR NFC Representation Protocol published by ISDA on March 8, 2013 (the “NFC Representation Protocol”) shall apply to the Agreement as if each party were an Adhering Party under the terms of the NFC
Representation Protocol. In respect of the Attachment to the NFC Representation Protocol, (i) the definition of “Adherence Letter” shall be deemed to be deleted and references to “Adherence Letter” shall be deemed to be to
this section (and references to “the relevant Adherence Letter” and “its Adherence Letter” shall be read accordingly), (ii) references to “adheres to the Protocol” shall be deemed to be “enters into the
Agreement”, (iii) references to “Covered Master Agreement” shall be deemed to be references to the Agreement (and each “Covered Master Agreement” shall be read accordingly), and (iv) references to “Implementation

Counterparty shall promptly notify Dealer of any change to its status as a party making the NFC Representation.. 


  

	 	(bb)	 Bail-in Protocol. The parties agree that the
provisions set out in the attachment (the “Attachment”) to the ISDA 2016 Bail-in Article 55 BRRD Protocol (Dutch/French/German/Irish/Italian/Luxembourg/Spanish/UK entity-in-resolution version) are incorporated into and form part of the Agreement, provided that the definition of “UK Bail-in Power” in the Attachment shall
be deleted and replaced with the following definition: 


 “UK Bail-in
Power” means any write-down or conversion power existing from time to time (including, without limitation, any power to amend or alter the maturity of eligible liabilities of an institution under resolution or amend the amount of interest
payable under such eligible liabilities or the date on which interest becomes payable, including by suspending payment for a temporary period) under, and exercised in compliance with, any laws, regulations, rules or requirements (together, the
“UK Regulations”) in effect in the United Kingdom, including but not limited to, the Banking Act 2009 as amended from time to time, and the instruments, rules and standards created thereunder, pursuant to which the obligations of a
regulated entity (or other affiliate of a regulated entity) can be reduced (including to zero), cancelled or converted into shares, other securities, or other obligations of such regulated entity or any other person. 

A reference to a “regulated entity” is to any BRRD Undertaking as such term is defined under the PRA Rulebook promulgated by the
United Kingdom Prudential Regulation Authority or to any person falling within IFPRU 11.6, of the FCA Handbook promulgated by the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority, both as amended from time to time, which includes, certain credit
institutions, investment firms, and certain of their parent or holding companies. 
 The Agreement shall be deemed a “Protocol Covered
