	Re:	  	Base Convertible Bond Hedge Transaction
		  	(Transaction Reference Number: [            ])

 Ladies and Gentlemen: 

The purpose of this communication (this “Confirmation”) is to set forth the terms and conditions of the above-referenced
transaction entered into on the Trade Date specified below (the “Transaction”) between [            ] (“Dealer”) and Restoration Hardware Holdings, Inc.
(“Counterparty”). This communication constitutes a “Confirmation” as referred to in the ISDA Master Agreement specified below. 

1. This Confirmation is subject to, and incorporates, the definitions and provisions of the 2006 ISDA Definitions (including the Annex
thereto) (the “2006 Definitions”) and the definitions and provisions of the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “Equity Definitions”, and together with the 2006 Definitions, the
“Definitions”), in each case as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”). In the event of any inconsistency between the 2006 Definitions and the Equity Definitions, the Equity
Definitions will govern. Certain defined terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture to be dated as of June 24, 2014 between Counterparty and U.S. Bank National Association as trustee (the “Indenture”)
relating to the USD 300,000,000 principal amount of zero (0) % convertible securities due 2019 (the “Base Convertible Securities”) together with any zero (0) % convertible securities due 2019 that may be issued pursuant to
the Initial Purchasers’ option under the Purchase Agreement (as defined below) (the “Optional Convertible Securities” and, together with the Base Convertible Securities, the “Convertible Securities”). In the
event of any inconsistency between the terms defined in the Indenture and this Confirmation, this Confirmation shall govern. For the avoidance of doubt, references herein to sections of the Indenture are based on the draft of the Indenture most
recently reviewed by the parties at the time of execution of this Confirmation. If any relevant sections of the Indenture are changed, added or renumbered following execution of this Confirmation but prior to the execution of the Indenture, the
parties will amend this Confirmation in good faith to preserve the economic intent of the parties based on the draft of the Indenture so reviewed. The parties further acknowledge that references to the Indenture herein are references to the
Indenture as in effect on the date of its execution and if the Indenture is, or the Convertible Securities are, amended, supplemented or modified following their execution, any such amendment, supplement or modification (other than a Merger
Supplemental Indenture (as defined below)) will be disregarded for purposes of this Confirmation (other than as provided in Section 8(a) below) unless the parties agree otherwise in writing. 

This Confirmation evidences a complete and binding agreement between Dealer and Counterparty as to the terms of the Transaction to which this
Confirmation relates. This Confirmation shall be subject to an agreement (the “Agreement”) in the form of the 2002 ISDA Master Agreement as if Dealer and Counterparty had executed an agreement in such form but without any Schedule
except for (i) the election of US Dollars (“USD”) as the Termination Currency and (ii) the election that the “Cross Default” provisions of Section 5(a)(vi) of the Agreement shall apply to Counterparty and to Dealer
(a) with a “Threshold Amount” of USD 20,000,000 applicable to Counterparty and 3% of the Dealer’s ultimate parent’s shareholders equity applicable to Dealer, (b) the phrase “or becoming capable at such time of
being declared” shall be deleted from clause (1) of such Section 5(a)(vi), (c) 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” and (d) “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. For the avoidance of doubt, the Transaction shall be the only transaction under the Agreement.
If there exists any ISDA Master Agreement between Dealer and Counterparty or any confirmation or other agreement between Dealer and Counterparty pursuant to which an ISDA Master Agreement is deemed to exist between Dealer and Counterparty, then
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in such ISDA Master Agreement, such confirmation or agreement or any other agreement to which Dealer and Counterparty are parties, the Transaction shall not be considered a Transaction under, or otherwise
governed by, such existing or deemed ISDA Master Agreement. 
 All provisions contained in, or incorporated by reference to, the Agreement
will govern this Confirmation except as expressly modified herein. In the event of any inconsistency between this Confirmation and either the Definitions or the Agreement, this Confirmation shall govern.

settlement method with respect to the Convertible Securities. For the avoidance of doubt, if Counterparty fails to give such notice when due in respect of any exercise of Options hereunder, Dealer’s obligation to make any payment or delivery in

 3 









					
		 		  	exercise shall be permanently extinguished, and late notice shall not cure such failure; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, such notice (and the related exercise of Options) shall be effective if given after the
Exercise Notice Deadline, but prior to 4:00 PM New York City time, on the fifth Exchange Business Day following the Exercise Notice Deadline, in which event Dealer’s Delivery Obligation shall not be extinguished but may instead be adjusted by
the Calculation Agent to reflect the additional costs (including, but not limited to, hedging mismatches and market losses) and expenses incurred by Dealer in connection with its hedging activities (including the unwinding of any hedge position) as
a result of Dealer not having received such notice on or prior to the Exercise Notice Deadline.
			
		 	Notice of Convertible Security Settlement Method:	  	  
 Counterparty shall notify Dealer in writing before 4:00 P.M. (New York
City time) on the last “Scheduled Trading Day” immediately prior to the 50th “Scheduled Trading Day” preceding the “Maturity Date” (each as defined in the Indenture)

Securities with a Conversion Date occurring on or after the 50th “Scheduled Trading Day” preceding the “Maturity Date” and ending on and including the second “Scheduled
Trading Day” immediately preceding the “Maturity Date” (each as defined in the Indenture) (such notice, the “Notice of Convertible Security Settlement Method,” and such period, the “Free Convertibility
Period”). If Counterparty fails timely to provide such notice, Counterparty shall be deemed to have notified Dealer of combination settlement with a “Specified Dollar Amount” (as defined in the Indenture) of USD1,000 for all
conversions occurring during the Free Convertibility Period. Counterparty agrees that it shall settle any Relevant Convertible Securities with a Conversion Date occurring during the Free Convertibility Period in the same manner as provided in the
Notice of Convertible Security Settlement Method it provides or is deemed to have provided hereunder.

			
		 	Dealer’s Telephone Number and Telex and/or Facsimile Number and Contact Details for purpose of Giving Notice:	  	Telephone No.: [            ]

		 		  	With a copy to: [            ]
		
	Settlement Terms:	  	
			
		 	Settlement Date:	  	In respect of an Exercise Date occurring on a Conversion Date, the settlement date for the cash and/or Shares (if any) to be delivered in respect of the Relevant Convertible Securities converted on such Conversion Date pursuant to
Section 10.03 and/or 10.07 of the Indenture; provided that the Settlement Date will not be prior to the latest of (i) the date one Settlement Cycle following the final day of the relevant “Cash Settlement Averaging Period”, as
defined in the Indenture, (ii) the Exchange Business Day


  
 4 









					
		 		  	immediately following the date on which Counterparty gives notice to Dealer of such Settlement Date prior to 4:00 PM, New York City time or (iii) the Exchange Business Day immediately following the date Counterparty provides the
Notice of Delivery Obligation prior to 4:00 PM, New York City time.
			
		 	Delivery Obligation:	  	In lieu of the obligations set forth in Sections 8.1 and 9.1 of the Equity Definitions, and subject to “Notice of Exercise” above, in respect of an Exercise Date occurring on a Conversion Date, Dealer will deliver to
Counterparty, on the related Settlement Date, the product of (i) the Applicable Percentage and (ii) a number of Shares and/or amount of cash in USD equal to the aggregate number of Shares, if any, that Counterparty is obligated to deliver to the
holder(s) of the Relevant Convertible Securities converted on such Conversion Date pursuant to Section 10.03 of the Indenture and/or the aggregate amount of cash, if any, in excess of USD1,000 per Convertible Security (in denominations of USD1,000)
that Counterparty is obligated to deliver to holder(s) pursuant to Section 10.03 of the Indenture, as determined by the Calculation Agent by reference to such Section of the Indenture (except that such aggregate number of Shares shall be determined
without taking into consideration any rounding pursuant to Section 10.03(b) of the Indenture and shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number) and cash in lieu of fractional Shares, if any, resulting from such rounding, if Counterparty had
elected to satisfy its conversion obligation in respect of such Relevant Convertible Securities by the Convertible Security Settlement Method, notwithstanding any different actual election by Counterparty with respect to the settlement of such
Convertible Securities (the “Convertible Obligation”); provided, however, that, in each case, such Delivery Obligation shall be determined (i) excluding any Shares and/or cash that Counterparty is obligated to deliver to
holder(s) of the Relevant Convertible Securities as a result of any adjustments to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 10.05(l) or 10.07 of the Indenture and (ii) without regard to the election, if any, by Counterparty to adjust the Conversion
Rate (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Delivery Obligation shall not include any interest payment on the Relevant Convertible Securities that the Counterparty is (or would have been) obligated to deliver to holder(s) of the Relevant Convertible
Securities for such Conversion Date); and provided further that if such exercise relates to the conversion of Relevant Convertible Securities in connection with which holders thereof are entitled to receive an additional amount of cash and/or
Shares pursuant to the adjustments to the Conversion Rate set forth in Section 10.07 of the Indenture, then, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Delivery Obligation shall include such additional Shares and/or cash (as determined by the Calculation
Agent by reference to such Section of the Indenture), except that the Delivery Obligation shall be capped so that the value of the Delivery Obligation per Option (with the value of any Shares included in the Delivery Obligation determined by the
Calculation Agent using the VWAP Price on the last day of the relevant “Cash Settlement Averaging Period”) does not exceed the amount as determined by the Calculation Agent that would be payable by Dealer pursuant to Section 6 of the
Agreement (such amount to be determined solely based on the then current values of


  
 5 









					
		 		  	the variables that Dealer has used to determine the Premium payable by Counterparty for the Options) if such Conversion Date were an Early Termination Date resulting from an Additional Termination Event with respect to which the
Transaction (except that, for purposes of determining such amount (x) the Number of Options shall be deemed to be equal to the product of (A) the number of Options exercised on such Exercise Date and (B) the Applicable Percentage and (y) such amount
payable will be determined as if Section 10.07 of the Indenture were deleted) was the sole Affected Transaction and Counterparty was the sole Affected Party (determined without regard to Section 8(b) of this Confirmation). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, and in addition to the caps described above, in all events the Delivery Obligation shall be capped so that the value of the Delivery Obligation does not exceed the value of the Convertible Obligation (with the Convertible Obligation
determined based on the actual settlement method elected by Counterparty with respect to such Relevant Convertible Securities instead of the Convertible Security Settlement Method and with the value of any Shares included in either the Delivery
Obligation or such Convertible Obligation determined by the Calculation Agent using the VWAP Price on the last day of the relevant “Cash Settlement Averaging Period”).
			
		 	Convertible Security Settlement Method:	  	For any Relevant Convertible Securities, if Counterparty has notified Dealer in the related Notice of Exercise (or in the Notice of Convertible Security Settlement Method, as the case may be) that it has elected to satisfy its
conversion obligation in respect of such Relevant Convertible Securities in cash or in a combination of cash and Shares in accordance with Section 10.03(a) of the Indenture (a “Cash Election”) with a “Specified Dollar
Amount” (as defined in the Indenture) of at least USD1,000, the Convertible Security Settlement Method shall be the settlement method actually so elected by Counterparty in respect of such Relevant Convertible Securities; otherwise, the
Convertible Security Settlement Method shall (i) assume Counterparty made a Cash Election with respect to such Relevant Convertible Securities with a “Specified Dollar Amount” (as defined in the Indenture) of USD1,000 per Relevant
Convertible Security and (ii) be calculated as if the relevant “Cash Settlement Averaging Period” (as defined in the Indenture) pursuant to Section 1.01 of the Indenture consisted of 45 Trading Days commencing on (x) the third
“Scheduled Trading Day” (as defined in the Indenture) after the Conversion Date for conversions occurring prior to the Free Convertibility Period or (y) the 47th “Scheduled Trading Day” prior to the “Maturity Date”
(each as defined in the Indenture) for conversions occurring during the Free Convertibility Period and any reference herein to the “Cash Settlement Averaging Period” in respect of such Relevant Convertible Securities shall be deemed to
refer to such extended “Cash Settlement Averaging Period”.
			
		 	Notice of Delivery Obligation:	  	No later than the Exchange Business Day immediately following the last day of the relevant “Cash Settlement Averaging Period”, as defined in the Indenture, Counterparty shall give Dealer notice of the final number of
Shares and/or the amount of cash comprising the Convertible Obligation; provided that, with respect to any Exercise Date occurring during the Final Conversion Period, Counterparty may provide Dealer with a single notice of
an


  
 6 









					
		 		  	aggregate number of Shares and/or the amount of cash comprising the Convertible Obligations for all Exercise Dates occurring in such period (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that the requirement of Counterparty to
deliver such notice shall not limit Counterparty’s obligations with respect to Notice of Exercise or Notice of Convertible Security Settlement Method or Dealer’s obligations with respect to Delivery Obligation, each as set forth above, in
any way).
			
		 	Other Applicable Provisions:	  	To the extent Dealer is obligated to deliver Shares hereunder, the provisions of Sections 9.1(c), 9.8, 9.9 and 9.11 (except that the Representation and Agreement contained in Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions shall be modified
by excluding any representations therein relating to restrictions, obligations, limitations or requirements under applicable securities laws arising as a result of the fact that Counterparty is the Issuer of the Shares) and 9.12 of the Equity
Definitions will be applicable as if “Physical Settlement” applied to the Transaction.
			
		 	Restricted Certificated Shares:	  	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Equity Definitions, Dealer may, in whole or in part, deliver Shares required to be delivered to Counterparty hereunder in certificated form in lieu of delivery through the Clearance
System. With respect to such certificated Shares, the Representation and Agreement contained in Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions shall be modified by deleting the remainder of the provision after the word “encumbrance” in the fourth
line thereof.
		
	Share Adjustments:	  	
			
		 	Method of Adjustment:	  	Notwithstanding Section 11.2 of the Equity Definitions, upon the occurrence of any event or condition set forth in Sections 10.05(a), 10.05(b), 10.05(c), 10.05(d), 10.05(e) and 10.05(i) of the Indenture that results in an adjustment
under the Indenture (an “Indenture Adjustment Event”), the Calculation Agent shall make a corresponding adjustment to the terms relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment of the Transaction. Promptly upon the occurrence of any
Indenture Adjustment Event, Counterparty shall notify the Calculation Agent of such Indenture Adjustment Event; and once the adjustments to be made to the terms of the Indenture and the Convertible Securities in respect of such Indenture Adjustment
Event have been determined, Counterparty shall promptly notify the Calculation Agent in writing of the details of the new conversion rate under the Indenture resulting from such Indenture Adjustment Event, and if requested in writing by Dealer, the
details of such Indenture Adjustment Event calculations made by Counterparty.
			
		 	Extraordinary Events:	  	
			
		 	Merger Events:	  	Notwithstanding Section 12.1(b) of the Equity Definitions, a “Merger Event” means the occurrence of any event or condition set forth in Section 10.06(a) of the Indenture.
			
		 	Consequences of Merger Events:	  	Notwithstanding Sections 12.2 and 12.3 of the Equity Definitions, upon the occurrence of a Merger Event that results in an adjustment under the Indenture, the Calculation Agent shall make a corresponding adjustment to the terms
relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment of the Transaction; provided that such


  
 7 









					
		 		  	adjustment shall be made without regard to any adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 10.05(l) or 10.07 of the Indenture and the election, if any, by Counterparty to adjust the Conversion Rate; and provided
further that if, with respect to a Merger Event, (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 organized under the laws of the United
States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia or (ii) the Counterparty following such Merger Event will not be a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia or will not be the
Issuer following such Merger Event, Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination) shall apply.
			
		 	Notice of Merger Consideration:	  	  
 Upon the occurrence of a Merger Event that causes the Shares to be
converted into the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election), Counterparty shall reasonably promptly (but, in any event prior to the relevant merger date) notify the
Calculation Agent of (i) the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Shares entitled to receive cash, securities or other property or assets with respect to or in exchange for such Shares in any Merger
Event who affirmatively make such an election and (ii) the proposed adjustment to the conversion rate under the Indenture that would result from such Merger Event and the details of the proposed adjustment to be made under the Indenture in respect
of such Merger Event.

			
		 	 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 shall 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 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 such exchange or quotation system,
such exchange or quotation system shall thereafter be deemed to be the Exchange.

			
		 	Additional Disruption Events:	  	
			
		 	 (a)    Change in Law:
	  	Applicable; provided that Section 12.9(a)(ii) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by (i) replacing the phrase “the interpretation” in the third line thereof with the phrase “or announcement or statement
of the formal or informal interpretation”, (ii) immediately following the word “Transaction” in clause (X) thereof, adding the phrase “in the manner contemplated by Hedging Party on the Trade Date”, (iii) adding the words
“(including, for the avoidance of doubt and without limitation, adoption or promulgation of new regulations authorized or mandated by existing statute)” after the word “regulation” in the second line thereof, (iv) adding the
words “or any Hedge Positions” after the word “Shares” in the clause (X) thereof and (v)

inserting the following two phrases at the end of such Section:
			
		 		  	“For the avoidance of doubt, the term “equity price risk” shall be deemed to include, but shall not be limited to, stock price and volatility risk. And, for the further avoidance of doubt, any such transactions or
assets referred to in phrases (A) or (B) above must be available on commercially reasonable pricing terms.”; and
			
		 		  	(ii) Section 12.9(b)(iii) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by inserting in the third line thereof, after the words “to terminate the Transaction”, the words “or a portion of the Transaction affected by such
Hedging Disruption”.

	  	Not Applicable
			
		 	Hedging Party:	  	For all applicable Potential Adjustment Events and Extraordinary Events, Dealer

		 	Agreements and Acknowledgments Regarding Hedging Activities:	  	Applicable

Counterparty and its officers and directors is aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Counterparty or the Shares and (B) all reports and other documents filed by Counterparty with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant
to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) when considered as a whole (with the more recent such reports and documents deemed to amend inconsistent statements contained in any earlier such reports and

prohibitions of sections 101(a) and 102(a) of Regulation M by sections 101(b)(10) and 102(b)(7) of Regulation M and (B) Counterparty shall not engage in any “distribution,” as such term is defined in Regulation M, other than a
distribution meeting the requirements of the exceptions set forth in sections 101(b)(10) and 102(b)(7) of Regulation M, until the second Exchange Business Day immediately following the Trade Date. 

(iii) On the Trade Date, neither Counterparty nor any “affiliate” or “affiliated purchaser” (each as
defined in Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act (“Rule 10b-18”)) 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, except through Dealer, [            ] or any of their affiliates. 

(iv) Without limiting the generality of Section 13.1 of the Equity Definitions, Counterparty acknowledges that Dealer is
not making any representations or warranties or taking any position or expressing any view with respect to the treatment of the Transaction under any accounting standards including ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share, ASC Topic 815,
Derivatives and Hedging, or ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (or any successor issue statements) or under FASB’s
Liabilities & Equity Project. 
 (v) Without limiting the generality of Section 3(a)(iii) of the Agreement, the
Transaction will not violate Rule 13e-1 or Rule 13e-4 under the Exchange Act. 
 (vi) Prior to the Trade Date, Counterparty
shall deliver to Dealer a resolution of Counterparty’s board of directors authorizing the Transaction and such other certificate or certificates as Dealer shall reasonably request. 

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

(viii) Counterparty is not, and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby will not be, required to register
as an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 
 (ix) On
each of the Trade Date and the Premium Payment Date, Counterparty is not, or will not be, “insolvent” (as such term is defined under Section 101(32) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code) (the
“Bankruptcy Code”)) and Counterparty would be able to purchase a number of Shares equal to the Number of Shares in compliance with the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation. 

(x) No state or local law, rule, regulation or regulatory order in the State of Delaware or California applicable to the Shares
would give rise to any reporting, consent, registration or other requirement (including without limitation a requirement to obtain prior approval from any person or entity) as a result of Dealer or its affiliates owning or holding (however defined)
Shares.

 (xi) The representations and warranties of Counterparty set forth in
Section 3 of the Agreement and Section 1(a) of the Purchase Agreement dated as of June 18, 2014, between the Counterparty and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated as representative of the Initial Purchasers
party thereto (the “Purchase Agreement”) are true and correct and are hereby deemed to be repeated to Dealer as if set forth herein. 

(xii) Counterparty understands no obligations of Dealer to it hereunder will be entitled to the benefit of deposit insurance
and that such obligations will not be guaranteed by any affiliate of Dealer or any governmental agency. 
 (b) Each of Dealer and
Counterparty agrees and represents that it is an “eligible contract participant” as defined in Section 1a(18) of the U.S. Commodity Exchange Act, as amended. 

(c) Each of Dealer and Counterparty acknowledges that the offer and sale of the Transaction to it is intended to be exempt from registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) thereof. Accordingly, Counterparty represents and warrants to Dealer that (i) it has the financial ability to bear the
economic risk of its investment in the Transaction and is able to bear a total loss of its investment, (ii) it is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Regulation D as promulgated under the Securities Act, (iii) it
is entering into the Transaction for its own account and without a view to the distribution or resale thereof 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. 
 (d) Counterparty agrees and acknowledges
that Dealer is a “financial institution” and “financial participant” within the meaning of Sections 101(22) and 101(22A) of the Bankruptcy Code. The parties hereto further agree and acknowledge that it is the intent of the
parties that (A) this Confirmation is a “securities contract,” as such term is defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code, with respect to which each payment and delivery hereunder or in connection herewith is a
“termination value,” “payment amount” or “other transfer obligation” within the meaning of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and a “settlement payment” within the meaning of Section 546 of the
Bankruptcy Code, with respect to which each payment and delivery hereunder or in connection herewith is a “termination value,” “payment amount” or “other transfer obligation” within the meaning of Section 362 of
the Bankruptcy Code and a “transfer,” as such term is defined in Section 101(54) of the Bankruptcy Code and a “payment or other transfer of property” within the meaning of Sections 362 and 546 of the Bankruptcy Code, and
(B) Dealer is entitled to the protections afforded by, among other sections, Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(27), 362(o), 546(e), 546(j), 548(d)(2), 555 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code. 

(e) Counterparty shall deliver to Dealer an opinion of counsel, dated as of the Effective Date and reasonably acceptable to Dealer in form and
substance, with respect to due incorporation, existence and good standing of Counterparty in Delaware, its qualifications as a foreign corporation and good standing in California, the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Confirmation,
and the absence of conflict of the execution, delivery and performance of this Confirmation with any material agreement required to be filed as an exhibit to Counterparty’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Counterparty’s charter documents.

 8. Other Provisions: 

(a) Additional Termination Events. The occurrence of (i) an “Event of Default” with respect to Counterparty under the
terms of the Convertible Securities as set forth in Section 6.01 of the Indenture or (ii) an Amendment Event shall be an Additional Termination Event with respect to which the Transaction is the sole Affected Transaction and Counterparty
is the sole Affected Party and Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement. 

“Amendment Event” means that Counterparty amends, modifies, supplements, waives or obtains a waiver in respect
of any term of the Indenture or the Convertible Securities governing the principal amount, coupon (but only if such event results in a decrease to such coupon), maturity, the amount payable upon a repurchase obligation of Counterparty upon a
fundamental change, any term relating to conversion of the Convertible Securities (including changes to the conversion price, 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 Securities to amend, in each case without the consent of Dealer. 

  
 12 








 (b) Alternative Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary
Events. If Dealer shall owe Counterparty any amount pursuant to “Consequences of Merger Events” above or Sections 12.6, 12.7 or 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (a “Payment
Obligation”), Counterparty shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to require Dealer to satisfy any such Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative (as defined below) by giving irrevocable telephonic notice to Dealer,
confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day, no later than 9:30 A.M. New York City time on the relevant merger date, Announcement Date, Early Termination Date or date of cancellation or termination in respect of an Extraordinary Event, as
applicable (“Notice of Share Termination”); provided that if Counterparty does not elect to require Dealer to satisfy its Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative, Dealer shall have the right, in its sole
discretion, to elect to satisfy its Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative, notwithstanding Counterparty’s failure to elect or election to the contrary; and provided further that Counterparty shall not have the right to
so elect (but, for the avoidance of doubt, Dealer shall have the right to so elect) in the event (i) of an Insolvency, a Nationalization or a Merger Event, in each case, in which the consideration or proceeds to be paid to holders of Shares
consists solely of cash, (ii) of an Event of Default in which Counterparty is the Defaulting Party or a Termination Event in which Counterparty is the Affected Party, which Event of Default or Termination Event resulted from an event or events
within Counterparty’s control or (iii) that Counterparty fails to remake the representation set forth in Section 7(a)(i) as of the date of such election. Upon such Notice of Share Termination, the following provisions shall apply on
the Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the relevant merger date, Announcement Date, Early Termination Date or date of cancellation or termination in respect of an Extraordinary Event, as applicable: 

 

			
	Share Termination Alternative:	  	If applicable, means that Dealer shall deliver to Counterparty the Share Termination Delivery Property on the date on which the Payment Obligation would otherwise be due pursuant to “Consequences of Merger Events” above,
Section 12.7 or 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, as applicable, or such later date or dates as the Calculation Agent may reasonably determine (such delivery to occur as soon as reasonably practicable under the
circumstances) (the “Share Termination Payment Date”), in satisfaction of the Payment Obligation. For the avoidance of doubt, a delay in delivery of the Share Termination Delivery Property shall not result in a change in the
composition of such Share Termination Delivery Property.
		
	Share Termination Delivery Property:	  	A number of Share Termination Delivery Units, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the Payment Obligation divided by the Share Termination Unit Price. The Calculation Agent shall adjust the Share Termination Delivery
Property by replacing any fractional portion of the aggregate amount of a security therein with an amount of cash equal to the value of such fractional security based on the values used to calculate the Share Termination Unit Price.
		
	Share Termination Unit Price:	  	The value of property contained in one Share Termination Delivery Unit on the date such Share Termination Delivery Units are to be delivered as Share Termination Delivery Property, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its
discretion by commercially reasonable means and notified by the Calculation Agent to Dealer at the time of notification of the Payment Obligation.
		
	Share Termination Delivery Unit:	  	In the case of a Termination Event, Event of Default, Delisting or Additional Disruption Event, one Share or, in the case of an Insolvency, Nationalization or Merger Event, one Share or a unit consisting of the number or amount of
each type of property received by a holder of one Share (without consideration of any requirement to pay cash or other consideration in lieu of fractional amounts of any securities) in such Insolvency, Nationalization or Merger Event, as applicable.
If such Insolvency, Nationalization or Merger Event involves a choice of consideration to be received by holders, such holder shall be deemed to have elected to receive the maximum possible amount of cash.
		
	Failure to Deliver:	  	Applicable
		
	Other applicable provisions:	  	If Share Termination Alternative is applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9 and 9.11 (except that the Representation and Agreement contained in Section 9.11 of


  
 13 









			
		  	the Equity Definitions shall be modified by excluding any representations therein relating to restrictions, obligations, limitations or requirements under applicable securities laws arising as a result of the fact that Counterparty
is the issuer of the Shares or any portion of the Share Termination Delivery Units) and 9.12 of the Equity Definitions will be applicable as if “Physical Settlement” applied to the Transaction, except that all references to
“Shares” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Delivery Units.”

 (c) Disposition of Hedge Shares. Counterparty hereby agrees that if, in the good faith reasonable
judgment of Dealer, based on the advice of counsel, any Shares (the “Hedge Shares”) acquired by Dealer or one of its affiliates for the purpose of hedging Dealer’s obligations pursuant to the Transaction cannot be sold in the
public market by Dealer without registration under the Securities Act, Counterparty shall, at its election: (i) in order to allow Dealer to sell the Hedge Shares in a registered offering, make available to Dealer an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act to cover the resale of such Hedge Shares and (A) enter into an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Dealer, substantially in the form of an underwriting agreement for underwritten follow-on
offerings of equity securities of companies of comparable size, maturity and lines of business, (B) provide accountant’s “comfort” letters in customary form for underwritten follow-on offerings of equity securities,
(C) provide disclosure opinions of nationally recognized outside counsel to Counterparty as are customarily requested in connection with underwritten follow-on offers of equity securities of companies of comparable size, maturity and lines of
business, (D) provide other customary opinions, certificates and closing documents customary in form for underwritten follow-on offerings of equity securities of companies of comparable size, maturity and lines of business and (E) afford
Dealer a reasonable opportunity to conduct a “due diligence” investigation with respect to Counterparty customary in scope for underwritten follow-on offerings of equity securities of companies of comparable size, maturity and lines of
business; 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 Section 8(c) shall apply at the election of Counterparty; provided that Dealer has given Counterparty reasonable notice of its determination and provided
Counterparty with reasonable opportunity to satisfy Dealer’s concerns; (ii) in order to allow Dealer to sell the Hedge Shares in a private placement, enter into a private placement agreement substantially similar to private placement
purchase agreements customary for private placements of equity securities of companies of comparable size, maturity and lines of business, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Dealer, including customary representations, covenants, blue
sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to Dealer, due diligence rights (for Dealer or any designated buyer of the Hedge Shares from Dealer), opinions and certificates and such other documentation as is customary for
private placements agreements, all reasonably acceptable 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 in a private placement); or (iii) purchase the Hedge Shares from Dealer at the VWAP Price on such Exchange Business Days, and in the amounts, requested by Dealer.
“VWAP Price” means, on any Exchange Business Day, the per Share volume-weighted average price as displayed under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP” on Bloomberg Screen RH.N <Equity> VAP (or any successor thereto) in respect of
the period from 9:30 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. (New York City time) on such Exchange Business Day (or if such volume-weighted average price is unavailable or is manifestly incorrect, the market value of one Share on such Exchange Business Day, as determined
by the Calculation Agent using a volume-weighted method). 
 (d) [Reserved]. 

(e) Repurchase and Conversion Rate Adjustment Notices. Counterparty shall, on any day on which Counterparty effects any repurchase of
Shares or consummates or otherwise executes or engages in any transaction or event (a “Conversion Rate Adjustment Event”) that would lead to an increase in the Conversion Rate (as such term is defined in the Indenture), give Dealer
a written notice of such repurchase or Conversion Rate Adjustment Event (a “Repurchase Notice”) if, following such repurchase or Conversion Rate Adjustment Event, the Notice Percentage as determined on the date of such Repurchase
Notice is (i) greater than 4.5% and (ii) greater by 0.5% than the Notice Percentage included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice (or, in the case of the first such Repurchase Notice, greater than the Notice Percentage as of the
date hereof), and, if such repurchase or Conversion Rate Adjustment Event, or the intention to effect the same, would constitute material non-public information with respect to Counterparty or the Shares, Counterparty shall make public disclosure
thereof at or prior to delivery of such Repurchase Notice. The “Notice Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is the sum of the Number of Shares and the aggregate number of
Shares underlying any other call option transaction sold by Dealer to 

  
 14 








 
Counterparty and the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day. In the event that Counterparty fails to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the
manner specified in this Section 8(e) then Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Dealer, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons (Dealer and each such person being an
“Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject under applicable securities laws,
including without limitation, Section 16 of the Exchange Act, relating to or arising out of such failure. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnified
Party, then Counterparty shall contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability. In addition, Counterparty will reimburse any Indemnified
Party for any reasonable expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) as they are incurred (after notice to Counterparty) in connection with the investigation of, preparation for or defense or settlement of any pending or threatened
claim or any action, suit or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto and whether or not such claim, action, suit or proceeding is initiated or brought by or on behalf of Counterparty. Counterparty shall
be relieved from liability under this Section 8(d) to the extent that the Indemnified Party fails promptly to notify Counterparty of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder; provided that
failure to notify Counterparty (x) shall not relieve Counterparty from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and (y) shall not, in any event, relieve Counterparty from any liability that
it may have otherwise than on account of the Transaction (including damages resulting from a breach of the Counterparty’s obligations under this Section 8(d)). For purposes of the preceding sentence, the obligation to notify promptly shall
in no event obligate the Dealer to provide such notice earlier than 10 Exchange Business Days from the relevant event. This indemnity shall survive the completion of the Transaction contemplated by this Confirmation and any assignment and delegation
of the Transaction made pursuant to this Confirmation or the Agreement shall inure to the benefit of any permitted assignee of Dealer. 

(e) Transfer and Assignment. 

(i) Counterparty may transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Transaction with the prior written consent of Dealer,
such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. For the avoidance of doubt, Dealer may condition its consent on any of the following, without limitation: (i) the receipt by Dealer of opinions and documents reasonably satisfactory to it
in connection with such assignment, (ii) such assignment being effected on terms reasonably satisfactory to Dealer with respect to any legal and regulatory requirements relevant to Dealer, (iii) payment by Counterparty of all reasonable
costs and expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, incurred by Dealer in connection with such assignment, (iv) Dealer not being obliged, as a result of such assignment, to pay the assignee on any payment date, an amount greater than Dealer
would have been required to pay in the absence of such assignment, (v) the 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, (vi) no Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or Termination Event occurring as a result of such
assignment and (vii) Counterparty continuing to be obligated to provide notices hereunder relating to the Convertible Securities and continuing to be obligated with respect to “Disposition of Hedge Shares” and “Repurchase
Notices” above. For the avoidance of doubt, the right of the Counterparty to transfer or assign its rights otherwise shall be as set forth in Section 7 of the Agreement; provided, however, that such right of the Counterparty to
transfer and assign shall not alter or limit any provision set forth under Extraordinary Events hereunder. 
 (ii) Dealer may
not transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Transaction without the prior written consent of Counterparty, except that Dealer may, without Counterparty’s consent, transfer or assign all or any part of its rights or obligations under
the Transaction to any affiliate of Dealer if (i) such transfer or assignment shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in the legend appearing at the top of this Confirmation, (ii) the transferee shall be a “United States
person” as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (iii) Dealer shall have caused the transferee 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 such transfer or assignment complies with clause (ii) of this sentence, and (iv) either (a) the transferee has a rating for its long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness that is equal to or
better than Dealer’s credit rating at the time of such transfer or assignment, or (b) the transferee’s 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’s ultimate parent. Dealer shall as soon as reasonably practicable notify Counterparty of such transfer or assignment. 

  
 15 








 If at any time at which any Excess Ownership Position exists, if Dealer is unable after using its
commercially reasonable efforts to effect a transfer or assignment to a third party financial institution that is a recognized dealer in the market for U.S. corporate equity derivatives reasonably acceptable to Counterparty on pricing terms and
within a time period reasonably acceptable to Dealer such that an Excess Ownership Position no longer exists, Dealer may designate any Scheduled Trading Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion (the “Terminated
Portion”) of the Transaction, such that such Excess Ownership Position no longer exists. In the event that Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction, a payment or delivery shall be made
pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (i) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Terminated Portion of the Transaction, (ii) Counterparty shall be the sole
Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (iii) such portion of the Transaction shall be the only Terminated Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 8(b) shall apply to any amount that is
payable by Dealer to Counterparty pursuant to this sentence as if Counterparty was not the Affected Party). 
 (f) “Excess Ownership
Position” means any of the following: (i) the Equity Percentage exceeds 9.0%, (ii) Dealer or any “affiliate” or “associate” of Dealer would own in excess of 13% of the outstanding Shares for purposes of
Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law or (iii) Dealer, Dealer Group (as defined below) or any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Dealer or Dealer Group (Dealer, Dealer Group or any such person, a
“Dealer Person”) under any federal, state or local laws, regulations, regulatory orders or organizational documents or contracts of Counterparty that are, in each case, applicable to ownership of Shares (“Applicable
Laws”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership in excess of a number of Shares equal to (x) the number of Shares that would give rise to
reporting or registration obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval by a state or federal regulator) of a Dealer Person, or could result in an adverse effect on a Dealer Person, under Applicable Laws, as determined by
Dealer in its reasonable discretion, and with respect to which such requirements have not been met or the relevant approval has not been received or that would give rise to any consequences under the constitutive documents of Counterparty or any
contract or agreement to which Counterparty is a party, in each case minus (y) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding on the date of determination. The “Equity Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a
percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Dealer and any of its affiliates 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 which Dealer is or may be deemed to be a part (Dealer and any such affiliates, persons and groups, collectively, “Dealer Group”) beneficially owns
(within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act), without duplication, on such day (or, to the extent that, as a result of a change in law, regulation or interpretation after the date hereof, the equivalent calculation under
Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder results in a higher number, such number) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day. 

(g) Staggered Settlement. 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”) or at two or more times on the Nominal Settlement Date as follows: 

(i) in such notice, Dealer will specify to Counterparty the related Staggered Settlement Dates (each of which will be on or
prior to such Nominal Settlement Date, but not prior to the beginning of the related “Cash Settlement Averaging Period”, as defined in the Indenture) or delivery times and how it will allocate the Shares it is required to deliver
under “Delivery Obligation” (above) among the Staggered Settlement Dates or delivery times; and 
 (ii) the
aggregate number of Shares that Dealer will deliver to Counterparty hereunder on all such Staggered Settlement Dates and delivery times will equal the number of Shares that Dealer would otherwise be required to deliver on such Nominal Settlement
Date. 
 (h) Right to Extend. Dealer may postpone any Exercise Date or Settlement Date or any other date of valuation or delivery by
Dealer, with respect to some or all of the relevant Options (in which event the Calculation Agent shall make appropriate adjustments to the Delivery Obligation), if Dealer determines, in its reasonable discretion, that such extension is reasonably
necessary or appropriate to (i) preserve Dealer’s hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions in the cash market, the stock loan market or any other market in which


  
 16 








 
Dealer, in the exercise of its commercially reasonable discretion, deems it advisable to hedge its exposure to the Transaction or (ii) to enable Dealer to effect purchases of Shares in
connection with its 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 applicable to Dealer similarly applicable to bond hedge transactions and consistently applied (whether or not such requirements, policies or procedures are imposed by law or have been voluntarily
adopted by Dealer); provided that any such extension pursuant to clause (i) shall not exceed 45 Exchange Business Days. 
 (i)
Adjustments. For the avoidance of doubt, whenever the Calculation Agent is called upon to make an adjustment pursuant to the terms of this Confirmation or the Definitions to take into account the effect of an event, the Calculation Agent
shall make such adjustment by reference to the effect of such event on the Hedging Party, assuming that the Hedging Party maintains a commercially reasonable hedge position. 

(j) 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. 
 (k) Designation by Dealer. Notwithstanding any other
provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to or from Counterparty, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or
deliver such shares or other securities and otherwise to perform Dealer obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any
such performance. 
 (l) No Netting and Set-off. Each party waives any and all rights it may have to set off delivery or payment
obligations it owes to the other party under the Transaction against any delivery or payment obligations owed to it by the other party, whether arising under the Agreement, under any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or
otherwise. The provisions of Section 2(c) of the Agreement shall not apply to the Transaction. 
 (m) Equity Rights. Dealer
acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to convey to it rights with respect to the Transaction that are senior to the claims of common stockholders in the event of Counterparty’s bankruptcy. For the avoidance of doubt,
the parties agree that the preceding sentence shall not apply at any time other than during Counterparty’s bankruptcy to any claim arising as a result of a breach by Counterparty of any of its obligations under this Confirmation or the
Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that none of the obligations of Counterparty or Dealer under this Confirmation are secured by any collateral that would otherwise secure the obligations of Counterparty herein under or
pursuant to any other agreement. 
 (n) Early Unwind. In the event the sale by Counterparty of the Base Convertible Securities is not
consummated with the initial purchasers pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for any reason by the close of business in New York on June 24, 2014 (or such later date as agreed upon by the parties, which in no event shall be later than
July 14, 2014) (June 24, 2014 or such later date being 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 thereunder shall be cancelled and terminated and (ii) Counterparty shall pay to Dealer an amount in cash equal to the aggregate amount of costs and expenses relating to the
unwinding of Dealer’s hedging activities in respect of the Transaction (including market losses incurred in reselling any Shares purchased by Dealer or its affiliates in connection with such hedging activities), such unwinding to be conducted
in a manner consistent with Dealer’s standard practice or, at the election of Counterparty, deliver to Dealer Shares with a value equal to such amount, as determined by the Calculation Agent, in which event the parties shall enter into
customary and commercially reasonable documentation relating to the registered or exempt resale of such Shares, taking into account the size of such equity placement. Following such termination, cancellation and payment, each party shall be released
and discharged by the other party (to the extent permitted by applicable law) from and agrees not to make any claim against the other party with respect to any obligations or liabilities of either party arising out of and to be performed in
connection with the Transaction either prior to or after the Early Unwind Date. Dealer and Counterparty represent and acknowledge to the other that upon an Early Unwind and following the payment referred to above, all obligations with respect to the
Transaction shall be deemed fully and finally discharged. 
 (o) Payments by Counterparty upon Early Termination. The parties hereby
agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the Definitions or in the Agreement, following the payment of the Premium, in the event that an Early Termination Date (whether as a result of an Event of Default or a Termination
Event) occurs or is designated with 

  
 17 








 
respect to the Transaction or the Transaction is terminated or cancelled pursuant to Article 12 of the Equity Definitions and, as a result, Counterparty would owe to Dealer an amount calculated
under Section 6(e) of the Agreement or Article 12 of the Equity Definitions, such amount shall be deemed to be zero. 
 (p) Wall
Street Transparency and Accountability Act of 2010. The parties hereby agree that none of (v) Section 739 of the Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act of 2010 (“WSTAA”), (w) any similar legal certainty
