	  	Section 6.3(a)(ii) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by replacing clause (ii) in its entirety with “(ii) an Exchange Disruption, or” and inserting immediately

	 Electing Party:
	  	Company
		
	 Settlement Method Election Date:
	  	The third Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the First Expiration Date.
		
	 Default Settlement Method:
	  	Net Share Settlement
		
	 Net Share Settlement:
	  	If Net Share Settlement is applicable, then on the relevant Settlement Date, Company shall deliver to JPMorgan (i) a number of Shares equal to the Share Delivery Quantity for
such Settlement Date to the account specified hereto free of payment through the Clearance System and (ii) pay to JPMorgan an amount of cash equal to the Fractional Share Amount.
		
	 Share Delivery Quantity:
	  	For any Settlement Date, a number of Shares, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the Net Share Settlement Amount for such Settlement Date divided by the
Settlement Price on the Valuation Date for such Settlement Date, rounded down to the nearest whole number (for any Settlement Date, the fraction of a Share eliminated by such rounding, the “Share Fraction” for such Settlement Date).

		
	 Net Share Settlement Amount:
	  	For any Settlement Date, an amount equal to the product of (i) the Number of Warrants exercised or deemed exercised on the relevant Exercise Date, (ii) the Strike Price
Differential for the relevant Valuation Date and (iii) the Warrant Entitlement.
		
	 Fractional Share Amount:
	  	For any Settlement Date, an amount of cash in USD equal to the product of (i) the Share Fraction for such Settlement Date and (ii) the Settlement Price on the Valuation Date for
such Settlement Date.
		
	 Cash Settlement:
	  	If Cash Settlement is applicable, on the relevant Settlement Date, Company shall pay to JPMorgan an amount of cash in USD equal to the Net Share Settlement Amount for such
Settlement Date.
		
	 Settlement Price:
	  	For any Valuation Date, the per Share volume-weighted average price as displayed under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP” on Bloomberg page VOLC <equity> AQR (or any
successor thereto) in respect of the period from the scheduled opening time of the Exchange to the Scheduled Closing Time on such Valuation Date (or if such volume-weighted average price is unavailable, the market value of one Share on such
Valuation Date, as determined by the Calculation Agent). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) any Expiration Date is a Disrupted Day and (ii) the Calculation Agent determines that such Expiration Date shall be an Expiration Date for fewer than the
Daily Number of Warrants, as described above, then the Settlement Price for the relevant Valuation Date shall be the volume-weighted average price per Share on such Valuation Date on the Exchange, as determined by the Calculation Agent based on such
sources as it deems appropriate using a volume-weighted methodology, for the portion of such Valuation Date for which the Calculation Agent determines there is no Market Disruption Event.

	 Settlement Dates:
	  	As determined pursuant to Section 9.4 of the Equity Definitions, subject to Section 9(k)(i) hereof.

in such provisions to “Physically-settled” shall be read as references to “Net Share Settled.” “Net Share Settled” in relation to any Warrant means that Net Share Settlement is applicable to that
Warrant.
		
	 Representation and Agreement:
	  	Notwithstanding Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions, the parties acknowledge that any Shares delivered to JPMorgan may be, upon delivery, subject to restrictions and
limitations arising from Company’s status as issuer of the Shares under applicable securities laws.
	
	3. Additional Terms applicable to the Transaction.

or more of the Strike Price, the Number of Warrants, the Daily Number of Warrants and the Warrant Entitlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any cash dividends or distributions on the Shares, whether or not extraordinary, shall be governed by
Section 9(f) of this Confirmation in lieu of Article 10 or Section 11.2(c) of the Equity Definitions.
		
	 Extraordinary Events applicable to the Transaction:

	  	Section 12.1(i) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended (a) by deleting the text in clause (i) thereof in its entirety (including the word “and” following clause

Market (or their respective successors)” and (b) by inserting immediately prior to the period the phrase “and (iii) of an entity or person organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia that
also becomes Company under the Transaction following such Merger Event or Tender Offer”.

	  	Applicable; provided that if an event occurs that constitutes both a Merger Event under Section 12.1(b) of the Equity Definitions and an Additional Termination Event under
Section 9(h)(ii)(B) of this Confirmation, JPMorgan may elect, in its commercially reasonable judgment, whether the provisions of Section 12.1(b) of the Equity Definitions or Section 9(h)(ii)(B) will apply.

Company 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 Company hereunder will conflict with or result in a breach
of (i) the certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or any equivalent documents) of Company, (ii) any applicable law or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or agency, or
(iii) any agreement or instrument filed as an exhibit to, or incorporated by reference therein, Company’s Form 10-K filed on March 5, 2010, Company’s Form 10-Q filed on May 7, 2010, Company’s Form 10-Q filed on

a default under, or result in the creation of any lien under, any such agreement or instrument. 

  

 8 










 

 

  


	 	(c)	To Company’s knowledge, after due inquiry, 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 Company of this Confirmation, except such as have been obtained or made and such as may be required under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”) or state securities laws. 

  

	 	(d)	(i) A number of Shares equal to the Maximum Number of Shares (the “Warrant Shares”) have been reserved for issuance by all required corporate action of
Company and (ii) the Warrant Shares have been duly authorized and, when delivered against payment therefor (which may include Net Share Settlement in lieu of cash) and otherwise as contemplated by the terms of the Warrants following the
exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Warrants, will be validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable, and the issuance of the Warrant Shares will not be subject to any preemptive or similar rights.


  

	 	(e)	Company is not and will not be required to register as an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.


  

	 	(f)	Company is an “eligible contract participant” (as such term is defined in Section 1a(12) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, other than a person
that is an eligible contract participant under Section 1a(12)(C) of the Commodity Exchange Act). 

  

	 	(g)	Company is not, on the date hereof, aware of any material non-public information with respect to Company. 


 

	9.	Other Provisions. 

  

	 	(a)	Opinions. Company shall deliver to JPMorgan an opinion of counsel, dated as of the Trade Date, with respect to the matters set forth in Sections 8(a)
through (d)(ii) of this Confirmation (subject to customary exceptions and qualifications). Delivery of such opinion to JPMorgan shall be a condition precedent for the purpose of Section 2(a)(iii) of the Agreement with respect to each obligation
of JPMorgan under Section 2(a)(i) of the Agreement. 

  

	 	(b)	Repurchase Notices. Company shall, on any day on which Company effects any repurchase of Shares, promptly give JPMorgan a written notice of such
repurchase (a “Repurchase Notice”) on such day if following such repurchase, the Notice Percentage as determined on such day is (i) greater than 8.1% or (ii) thereafter greater by 0.5% than the Notice Percentage included
in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice; provided that Company shall have publicly disclosed such information prior to the time of such Repurchase Notice if and to the extent that it would have constituted material non-public
information in respect of Company, the Shares or otherwise. The “Notice Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is the sum of (x) the product of the Number of Warrants and
the Warrant Entitlement and (y) the aggregate number of Shares underlying any other warrants purchased by JPMorgan from Company and the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day. Company agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless JPMorgan and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, advisors, agents and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all losses (including losses
relating to JPMorgan’s hedging activities as a consequence of becoming, or of the risk of becoming, a Section 16 “insider”, including without limitation, any forbearance from hedging activities or cessation of hedging activities
and any losses in connection therewith with respect to the Transaction), claims, damages, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), joint or several, to which an Indemnified Person may become subject under
applicable securities laws (including, without limitation, Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as a result of Company’s failure to provide JPMorgan with a Repurchase Notice
on the day and in the manner specified in this paragraph, and to reimburse, within 30 days, upon written request, each of such Indemnified Persons for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing for,
providing testimony or other evidence in connection with or defending any of the foregoing. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against the
Indemnified Person, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Company in writing, and Company, upon request of the Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and
any others Company may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled
with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, Company agrees to indemnify any Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Company shall not, without the prior written
consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person,
unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding on terms reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person. If the indemnification
provided for in this paragraph is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then Company under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person
thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities. The remedies provided for in this paragraph 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. Company is not on the Trade Date engaged in a distribution, as such term is used in Regulation M under the Exchange Act, of any securities
of Company, other than the distribution of USD 100,000,000 (or USD 115,000,000) aggregate principal amount of 2.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2015. Company shall not, until the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the Effective
Date, engage in any such distribution other than as described in this paragraph. 

  

	 	(d)	No Manipulation. Company 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. Company may not transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Transaction without the prior written consent of JPMorgan.
JPMorgan may, without Company’s consent, transfer or assign all or any part of its rights or obligations under the Transaction to any third party. If at any time at which (A) the Section 16 Percentage exceeds 8.0%, (B) the
Warrant Equity Percentage exceeds 14.5%, or (C) the Share Amount exceeds the Applicable Share Limit (if any applies) (any such condition described in clauses (A), (B) or (C), an “Excess Ownership Position”), JPMorgan is
unable after using its commercially reasonable efforts to effect a transfer or assignment of Warrants to a third party on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to JPMorgan and within a time period reasonably acceptable to JPMorgan such that no Excess
Ownership Position exists, then JPMorgan may designate any Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction (the “Terminated Portion”), such that following such partial termination no
Excess Ownership Position exists. In the event that JPMorgan so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a Terminated Portion, 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 Warrants equal to the number of Warrants underlying the Terminated Portion, (2) Company 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 9(j) shall apply to any amount that is payable by Company to JPMorgan pursuant to this
sentence as if Company was not the Affected Party). The “Section 16 Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that JPMorgan and each person subject
to aggregation of Shares with JPMorgan under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder directly or indirectly beneficially own (as defined under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and
rules promulgated thereunder) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding. The “Warrant 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 Warrants and the Warrant Entitlement and (2) the aggregate number of Shares underlying any other warrants purchased by JPMorgan from Company, and (B) the denominator of which is the number
of Shares outstanding. The “Share Amount” as of any day is the number of Shares that JPMorgan and any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of JPMorgan (JPMorgan or any such person, a “JPMorgan
Person”) under any law, rule, regulation, regulatory order or organizational documents or contracts of Company that are, in each case, applicable to ownership of Shares (“Applicable Restrictions”), owns, beneficially owns,
constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by JPMorgan in its reasonable discretion. The “Applicable Share Limit”
means a number of Shares equal to (A) the minimum number of Shares that could give rise to reporting or registration obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval from any person or entity) of a JPMorgan Person, or could
result in an adverse effect on a JPMorgan Person, under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by JPMorgan in its reasonable discretion, minus (B) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding. Notwithstanding any other provision in this
Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing JPMorgan to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities, or make or receive any payment in cash, to or from Company, JPMorgan may designate any of its affiliates to purchase,
sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities, or make or receive such payment in cash, and otherwise to perform JPMorgan’s obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. JPMorgan shall
be discharged of its obligations to Company to the extent of any such performance.

	 	(f)	Dividends. If at any time during the period from and including the Effective Date, to and including the last Expiration Date, an ex-dividend date for a
cash dividend occurs with respect to the Shares (an “Ex-Dividend Date”), then the Calculation Agent will adjust any of the Strike Price, Number of Warrants and/or Daily Number of Warrants to preserve the fair value of the Warrants
to JPMorgan after taking into account such dividend. 

  

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


 

	 	(h)	Additional Provisions. 

  

	 	(i)	Amendments to the Equity Definitions:

stock loan rate or liquidity relative to the relevant Shares).” 

  

	 	(C)	Section 11.2(e)(vii) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the words “that may have a diluting or concentrative” and replacing them
with the words “that is the result of a corporate event involving Company that may have a material”; and adding the phrase “or Warrants” at the end of the sentence. 


 

	 	(D)	Section 12.6(a)(ii) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by (1) deleting from the fourth line thereof the word “or” after the word

events specified in Section 5(a)(vii) (1) through (9) of the ISDA Master Agreement with respect to that Issuer.” 

  

 11 










 

 

  


	 	(E)	Section 12.9(b)(iv) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by: 

  

	 	(x)	deleting (1) subsection (A) in its entirety, (2) the phrase “or (B)” following subsection (A) and (3) the phrase “in each

	 	(y)	deleting the phrase “neither the Non-Hedging Party nor the Lending Party lends Shares in the amount of the Hedging Shares or” in the penultimate sentence.


  

	 	(F)	Section 12.9(b)(v) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by: 

  

	 	(x)	adding the word “or” immediately before subsection “(B)” and deleting the comma at the end of subsection (A); and 


 

	 	(y)	(1) deleting subsection (C) in its entirety, (2) deleting the word “or” immediately preceding subsection (C) and (3) deleting the
penultimate sentence in its entirety and replacing it with the sentence “The Hedging Party will determine the Cancellation Amount payable by one party to the other.” 


 

	 	(ii)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, upon the occurrence of one of the following events, with respect to the Transaction, (1) JPMorgan
shall have the right to designate such event an Additional Termination Event and designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement, (2) Company shall be deemed the sole Affected Party with respect to such
Additional Termination Event and (3) the Transaction shall be deemed the sole Affected Transaction: 

  

	 	(A)	A “person” or “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, other than Company, its subsidiaries and its and their employee
benefit plans, files a Schedule TO or any schedule, form or report under the Exchange Act disclosing that such person or group has become the direct or indirect “beneficial owner,” as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, of shares
of the common equity of Company representing more than 50% of the voting power of such common equity. 

  

	 	(B)	The consummation of (I) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Shares (other than changes resulting from a subdivision, combination or a change in
par value) as a result of which the Shares would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets or (II)(i) any share exchange, consolidation or merger of Company pursuant to which the Shares will be converted
into cash, securities or other property or (ii) any sale, lease or other transfer in one transaction or a series of transactions of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any
person other than one or more of our subsidiaries; provided, however, that neither (x) a transaction in which holders of Company’s common equity immediately prior to such transaction own, as a result of such transaction,
directly or indirectly, shares representing more than 50% of the voting power of all classes of common equity of the continuing or surviving corporation or transferee or the parent thereof immediately after such event nor (y) any merger
primarily for the purpose of changing Company’s jurisdiction of incorporation to another state within the United States of America or the District of Columbia and resulting in a reclassification, conversion or exchange of outstanding Shares
solely into shares of common stock of the surviving entity, shall, as a result of this clause (B), constitute an Additional Termination Event. 

  

	 	(C)	The default by Company or any of its significant subsidiaries (as defined in Article 1, Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X) with respect to any mortgage, agreement or other
instrument under which there may be outstanding, or by which there may be secured or evidenced, any indebtedness for money borrowed in excess of $15.0 million in the aggregate of Company and/or any such subsidiary, whether such indebtedness now
exists or shall hereafter be created (i) resulting in such indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable or (ii) constituting a failure to pay the principal or interest of any such debt when due and payable at its stated
maturity, upon required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise, unless, in either case, such indebtedness is discharged or such acceleration is cured, waived, rescinded, stayed or annulled within a period of 30 days after becoming
due and payable. 

  

 12 










 

 

  


	 	(D)	JPMorgan, during the one year period immediately following the Effective Date, despite using commercially reasonable efforts, is unable or reasonably determines that it
is impractical or illegal, to hedge its exposure with respect to the Transaction in the public market without registration under the Securities Act or as a result of any legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements or related policies and
procedures (whether or not such requirements, policies or procedures are imposed by law or have been voluntarily adopted by JPMorgan). 


Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction or transactions described in clauses (A) or (B) above will not, as a result of
clause (A) or (B) above, constitute an Additional Termination Event if at least 90% of the consideration received or to be received by the holders of the Shares, excluding cash payments for fractional Shares or made pursuant to
dissenters’ rights, in connection with such transaction or transactions, consists of shares of common stock that are listed or quoted on any of The New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market or The NASDAQ Global Market (or any of
their respective successors) or will be so listed or quoted when issued or exchanged in connection with such transaction or transactions. 
  

	 	(i)	No Collateral or Setoff. Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement or any other agreement between the parties to the contrary, the obligations of
Company hereunder are not secured by any collateral. 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 between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise. 

  

	 	(j)	Alternative Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events. 


 

	 	(i)	If, in respect of the Transaction, an amount is payable by Company to JPMorgan, (A) pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or
(B) pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (any such amount, a “Payment Obligation”), Company shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to satisfy the Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative (as
defined below) (except that Company shall not have the right to make such an election in the event of (I) a Nationalization, Insolvency, Merger Event or Tender Offer, in each case, 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 Company’s control, or (III) an Event of Default in which Company is the Defaulting Party or a Termination Event in which Company is the Affected Party, and in either
case, the Event of Default or Termination Event resulted from an event or events within Company’s control) and shall give irrevocable telephonic notice to JPMorgan, 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; provided that if Company does not
validly elect to satisfy the Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative, JPMorgan shall have the right to require Company to satisfy its Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative. 


 

			
	Share Termination Alternative:	  	If applicable, Company shall deliver to JPMorgan the Share Termination Delivery Property on the date (the “Share Termination Payment Date”) on which the Payment
Obligation would otherwise be due pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, as applicable, subject to Section 9(k)(i) below, in satisfaction, subject to Section 9(k)(ii) below, of the
relevant Payment Obligation, in the manner reasonably requested by JPMorgan free of payment.

  

 13 










 

 

  


			
	Share Termination Delivery Property:	  	A number of Share Termination Delivery Units, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the relevant Payment Obligation divided by the Share Termination Unit Price.
The Calculation Agent shall adjust the amount of 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 (without giving effect to any discount pursuant to Section 9(k)(i)).
		
	Share Termination Unit Price:	  	The value to JPMorgan 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. In the case of a Private Placement of Share Termination Delivery Units that are Restricted Shares (as defined below), as set forth in
Section 9(k)(i) below, the Share Termination Unit Price shall be determined by the discounted price applicable to such Share Termination Delivery Units. In the case of a Registration Settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units that are Restricted
Shares (as defined below) as set forth in Section 9(k)(ii) below, the Share Termination Unit Price shall be the Settlement Price 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. The Calculation Agent shall notify Company of the Share Termination Unit Price at the time of notification of such Payment Obligation to Company or, if applicable, at the time the
discounted price applicable to the relevant Share Termination Units is determined pursuant to Section 9(k)(i).
		
	Share Termination Delivery Unit:	  	In the case of a Termination Event, Event of Default Additional Disruption Event or Delisting, one Share or, in the case of Nationalization, Insolvency, Tender Offer or Merger
Event, 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
Nationalization, Insolvency, Tender Offer or Merger Event. If such Nationalization, Insolvency, Tender Offer 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:	  	Inapplicable
		
	Other applicable provisions:	  	If Share Termination Alternative is applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.11, 9.12 and 10.5 (as modified above) of the Equity Definitions will be applicable, except
that all references in such provisions to “Physically-settled” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Settled” and all references to “Shares” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Delivery
Units”. “Share Termination Settled” in relation to the Transaction means that the Share Termination Alternative is applicable to the Transaction.


 

 14 










 

 

  


	 	(ii)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, any Payment Obligation under this Confirmation shall, for all purposes, be calculated as if the Maximum
Number of Shares were equal to two times the Number of Shares (without regard to the limitations on adjustment set forth in the second paragraph opposite the caption “Maximum Number of Shares” in Section 2) but any deliveries under
Section 9(j)(i) shall be limited to the Maximum Number of Shares as defined in Section 2 hereof. 

  

	 	(k)	Registration/Private Placement Procedures. If, in the commercially reasonable judgment of JPMorgan, based on the advice of outside counsel, following any
delivery of Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property to JPMorgan hereunder, such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property would be in the hands of JPMorgan subject to any applicable restrictions with respect to any registration or
qualification requirement or prospectus delivery requirement for such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities law (including, without limitation, any such requirement arising under
Section 5 of the Securities Act as a result of such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property being “restricted securities”, as such term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or as a result of the sale of such Shares
or Share Termination Delivery Property being subject to paragraph (c) of Rule 145 under the Securities Act) (such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property, “Restricted Shares”), then delivery of such Restricted Shares
shall be effected pursuant to either clause (i) or (ii) below at the election of Company, unless JPMorgan waives the need for registration/private placement procedures set forth in (i) and (ii) below. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, solely in respect of any Daily Number of Warrants exercised or deemed exercised on any Expiration Date, Company shall elect, prior to the first Settlement Date for the First Expiration Date, a Private Placement Settlement or Registration
Settlement for all deliveries of Restricted Shares for all such Expiration Dates which election shall be applicable to all Settlement Dates for such Warrants and the procedures in clause (i) or clause (ii) below shall apply for all such
delivered Restricted Shares on an aggregate basis commencing after the final Settlement Date for such Warrants. The Calculation Agent shall make reasonable adjustments to settlement terms and provisions under this Confirmation to reflect a single
Private Placement or Registration Settlement for such aggregate Restricted Shares delivered hereunder. 

  

	 	(i)	If Company elects to settle the Transaction pursuant to this clause (i) (a “Private Placement Settlement”), then delivery of Restricted Shares by
Company shall be effected in customary private placement procedures with respect to such Restricted Shares reasonably acceptable to JPMorgan; provided that Company may not elect a Private Placement Settlement if, on the date of its election,
it has taken, or caused to be taken, any action that would make unavailable either the exemption pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for the sale by Company to JPMorgan (or any affiliate designated by JPMorgan) of the Restricted
Shares or the exemption pursuant to Section 4(1) or Section 4(3) of the Securities Act for resales of the Restricted Shares by JPMorgan (or any such affiliate of JPMorgan). The Private Placement Settlement of such Restricted Shares shall
include customary representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to JPMorgan, due diligence rights (for JPMorgan or any designated buyer of the Restricted Shares by JPMorgan; provided
that such party shall enter into a confidentiality agreement, on terms reasonably satisfactory to Company and JPMorgan), opinions and certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for private placement agreements, all reasonably
acceptable to JPMorgan. In the case of a Private Placement Settlement, JPMorgan shall determine the appropriate discount to the Share Termination Unit Price (in the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to Section 9(j)
above) or any Settlement Price (in the case of settlement of Shares pursuant to Section 2 above) applicable to such Restricted Shares in a commercially reasonable manner and appropriately adjust the number of such Restricted Shares to be
delivered to JPMorgan hereunder. Notwithstanding the Agreement or this Confirmation, the date of delivery of such Restricted Shares shall be the Exchange Business Day following notice by JPMorgan to Company, of such applicable discount and the
number of Restricted Shares to be delivered pursuant to this clause (i). For the avoidance of doubt, delivery of Restricted Shares shall be due as set forth in the previous sentence and not be due on the Share Termination Payment Date (in the case
of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to Section 9(j) above) or on the Settlement Date for such Restricted Shares (in the case of settlement in Shares pursuant to Section 2 above). 


 

 15 










 

 

  


	 	(ii)	If Company elects to settle the Transaction pursuant to this clause (ii) (a “Registration Settlement”), then Company shall promptly (but in any
event no later than the beginning of the Resale Period) file and use its commercially reasonable efforts to make effective under the Securities Act a registration statement or supplement or amend an outstanding registration statement in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to JPMorgan, to cover the resale of such Restricted Shares in accordance with customary resale registration procedures, including covenants, conditions, representations, underwriting discounts (if applicable),
commissions (if applicable), indemnities, opinions and certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for equity resale underwriting agreements, all reasonably acceptable to JPMorgan; provided that JPMorgan (or an affiliate of
JPMorgan designated by JPMorgan) shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation with respect to Company that is customary in scope for underwritten follow-on offerings of equity securities of companies of
comparable size, maturity and lines of business reasonably acceptable to JPMorgan, subject to execution by JPMorgan or such designated affiliate of customary confidentiality agreements, on terms reasonably satisfactory to Company and JPMorgan. If
JPMorgan, in its sole reasonable discretion, is not satisfied with such procedures and documentation Private Placement Settlement shall apply. If JPMorgan is satisfied with such procedures and documentation, it shall sell the Restricted Shares
pursuant to such registration statement during a period (the “Resale Period”) commencing on the Exchange Business Day following delivery of such Restricted Shares (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be (x) the Share
Termination Payment Date in case of settlement in Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to Section 9(j) above or (y) the Settlement Date in respect of the final Expiration Date for all Daily Number of Warrants) and ending on the
earliest of (i) the Exchange Business Day on which JPMorgan completes the sale of all Restricted Shares or, in the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units, a sufficient number of Restricted Shares so that the realized net
proceeds of such sales equals or exceeds the Payment Obligation (as defined above), (ii) the date upon which all Restricted Shares have been sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 (or similar provisions then in force) or Rule 145(d)(2) (or
any similar provision then in force) under the Securities Act and (iii) the date upon which all Restricted Shares may be sold or transferred by a non-affiliate pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in force) or Rule 145(d)(2) (or
any similar provision then in force) under the Securities Act. If the Payment Obligation exceeds the realized net proceeds from the sale of all such Restricted Shares, and JPMorgan used commercially reasonable efforts to effect such sale, Company
shall transfer to JPMorgan by the open of the regular trading session on the Exchange on the Exchange Trading Day immediately following the last day of the Resale Period the amount of such excess (the “Additional Amount”) in cash or
in a number of Shares (“Make-whole Shares”) in an amount that, based on the Settlement Price on the last day of the Resale Period (as if such day was the “Valuation Date” for purposes of computing such Settlement Price),
has a dollar value equal to the Additional Amount. The Resale Period shall continue to enable the sale of the Make-whole Shares. This provision shall be applied successively until the Additional Amount is equal to zero. In no event shall Company
deliver a number of Restricted Shares greater than the Maximum Number of Shares. If the realized net proceeds from such resale exceed the Payment Obligation, JPMorgan shall, by the date three Currency Business Days immediately following the last day
of the Resale Period, transfer to Company the amount of such excess over the Payment Obligation in cash or, at the Company’s option, in Shares with a value equal to such amount, as determined by the Calculation Agent in a commercially
reasonable manner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company shall be permitted to suspend or delay any Resale Period for customary “black out periods.” 


 

	 	(iii)	Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Company agrees that any Restricted Shares delivered to JPMorgan, as purchaser of such Restricted Shares, (A) may
be transferred by and among JPMorgan and its affiliates and Company shall effect such transfer without any further action by JPMorgan and (B) after the period of 6 months from the Trade Date (or 1 year from the Trade Date if, at such time,
informational requirements of Rule 144(c) under the Securities Act are not satisfied with respect to Company) has elapsed after any Settlement Date or Share Termination Payment Date, as applicable, for such Restricted Shares, Company shall promptly
remove, or cause the transfer agent for such Restricted Shares to remove, any legends referring to any such restrictions or requirements from such Restricted Shares upon request by JPMorgan (or such affiliate of JPMorgan) to Company or such transfer
agent, without any requirement for the delivery of any certificate, consent, agreement, opinion of counsel, notice or any other document, any transfer tax stamps or payment of any other amount or any other action by JPMorgan (or such affiliate of
JPMorgan). 

  

 16 










 

 

  


	 	(l)	Limit on Beneficial Ownership. Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, JPMorgan may not exercise any Warrant hereunder or be entitled to take
delivery of any Shares deliverable hereunder, and Automatic Exercise shall not apply with respect to any Warrant hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after such receipt of any Shares upon the exercise of such Warrant or otherwise
hereunder, (i) the Section 16 Percentage would exceed 8.0%, or (ii) the Share Amount would exceed the Applicable Share Limit. Any purported delivery hereunder shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent)
that, after such delivery, (i) the Section 16 Percentage would exceed 8.0%, or (ii) the Share Amount would exceed the Applicable Share Limit. If any delivery owed to JPMorgan hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of
this provision, Company’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and Company shall make such delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than one Business Day after, JPMorgan gives notice to Company
that, after such delivery, (i) the Section 16 Percentage would not exceed 8.0%, and (ii) the Share Amount would not exceed the Applicable Share Limit. 


 

	 	(m)	Share Deliveries. Company acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent the holder of this Warrant is not then an affiliate and has not been an affiliate
for three months days (it being understood that JPMorgan will not be considered an affiliate under this paragraph solely by reason of its receipt of Shares pursuant to the Transaction), and otherwise satisfies all holding period and other
requirements of Rule 144 of the Securities Act applicable to it, any delivery of Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property hereunder at any time after 6 months from the Trade Date (or 1 year from the Trade Date if, at such time, informational
requirements of Rule 144(c) are not satisfied with respect to Company) shall be eligible for resale under Rule 144 of the Securities Act and Company agrees to promptly remove, or cause the transfer agent for such Shares or Share Termination Delivery
Property, to remove, any legends referring to any restrictions on resale under the Securities Act from the Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property. Company further agrees that any delivery of Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property prior
to the date that is 6 months from the Trade Date (or 1 year from the Trade Date if, at such time, informational requirements of Rule 144(c) are not satisfied with respect to Company), may be transferred by and among JPMorgan and its affiliates and
Company shall effect such transfer without any further action by JPMorgan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Company agrees that any delivery of Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property shall be effected by book-entry transfer
through the facilities of DTC, or any successor depositary, if at the time of delivery, such class of Shares or class of Share Termination Delivery Property is in book-entry form at DTC or such successor depositary. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, to the extent the provisions of Rule 144 of the Securities Act or any successor rule are amended, or the applicable interpretation thereof by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any court change after the Trade Date, the
agreements of Company herein shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary, in the opinion of outside counsel of Company, to comply with Rule 144 of the Securities Act, as in effect at the time of delivery of the relevant Shares or Share
Termination Delivery Property. 

  

	 	(n)	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 the other 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. 

  

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

  

 17 










 

 

  

  

	 	(p)	Maximum Share Delivery. 

  

	 	(i)	Notwithstanding any other provision of this Confirmation, the Agreement or the Equity Definitions, in no event will Company at any time be required to deliver a number
of Shares greater than the Maximum Number of Shares to JPMorgan in connection with the Transaction; provided that if, but for this Section 9(p)(i), the Company would have been obligated to deliver to JPMorgan in connection with the
Transaction, a number of Shares greater than the Maximum Number of Shares as a result of an event or condition within the Company’s control, the Company will deliver cash to JPMorgan in lieu of such excess Shares based on the volume-weighted
average price of the Shares on the Exchange Business Day immediately preceding the date of such delivery. 

  

	 	(ii)	In the event Company shall not have delivered to JPMorgan the full number of Shares or Restricted Shares otherwise deliverable by Company to JPMorgan pursuant to the
terms of the Transaction because Company has insufficient authorized but unissued Shares (such deficit, the “Deficit Shares”), Company shall be continually obligated to deliver, from time to time, Shares or Restricted Shares, as the
case may be, to JPMorgan until the full number of Deficit Shares have been delivered pursuant to this Section 9(p)(ii), when, and to the extent that, (A) Shares are repurchased, acquired or otherwise received by Company or any of its
subsidiaries after the Trade Date (whether or not in exchange for cash, fair value or any other consideration), (B) authorized and unissued Shares reserved for issuance in respect of other transactions prior to such date that prior to the
relevant date become no longer so reserved or (C) Company additionally authorizes any unissued Shares that are not reserved for other transactions; provided that in no event shall Company deliver any Shares or Restricted Shares to JPMorgan
pursuant to this Section 9(p)(ii) to the extent that such delivery would cause the aggregate number of Shares and Restricted Shares delivered to JPMorgan to exceed the Maximum Number of Shares. Company shall immediately notify JPMorgan of the
occurrence of any of the foregoing events (including the number of Shares subject to clause (A), (B) or (C) and the corresponding number of Shares or Restricted Shares, as the case may be, to be delivered) and promptly deliver such Shares
or Restricted Shares, as the case may be, thereafter. 

  

	 	(q)	Right to Extend. JPMorgan may postpone, in whole or in part, any Expiration Date or any other date of valuation or delivery with respect to some or all of
the relevant Warrants (in which event the Calculation Agent shall make appropriate adjustments to the Daily Number of Warrants with respect to one or more Expiration Dates) if JPMorgan determines, in its commercially reasonable judgment, that such
extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate to preserve JPMorgan’s hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions or to enable JPMorgan to effect purchases of Shares in connection with its hedging,
hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if JPMorgan were Issuer or an affiliated purchaser of Issuer, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and
procedures applicable to JPMorgan. 

  

	 	(r)	Status of Claims in Bankruptcy. JPMorgan acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to convey to JPMorgan rights against Company with
respect to the Transaction that are senior to the claims of common stockholders of Company in any United States bankruptcy proceedings of Company; provided that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit JPMorgan’s right to
pursue remedies in the event of a breach by Company of its obligations and agreements with respect to the Transaction; provided, further, that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit JPMorgan’s rights in respect of
any transactions other than the Transaction. 

  

	 	(s)	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.

	 	(t)	Early Unwind. In the event the sale of the “Firm Securities” (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement) is not consummated with the Underwriter
for any reason, or Company fails to deliver to JPMorgan opinions of counsel as required pursuant to Section 9(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 JPMorgan and Company 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; provided that, other than in the case of an Early Unwind due to
a breach of the Underwriting Agreement by the Underwriter, Company shall pay to JPMorgan an amount in cash equal to the aggregate amount of costs and expenses relating to the unwinding of JPMorgan’s hedging activities in respect of the
Transaction (including market losses incurred in reselling any Shares purchased by JPMorgan or its affiliates in connection with such hedging activities), such unwinding to be conducted in a manner consistent with JPMorgan’s standard practice
or, at the election of Company, deliver to JPMorgan 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. Each of JPMorgan and Company represent and acknowledge to the other that, subject to the proviso included in this Section 9(t), upon an Early
Unwind, all obligations with respect to the Transaction shall be deemed fully and finally discharged. 

  

	 	(u)	Payment by JPMorgan. In the event that (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, JPMorgan owes to Company an amount calculated under Section 6(e) of the Agreement, or
(ii) JPMorgan owes to Company, an amount calculated under Section 12.7 or Section 12.8 of the Equity Definitions, such amount shall be deemed to be zero.
