Re:    Call Option Transaction
The purpose of this letter agreement (this “Confirmation”) is to confirm the terms and conditions of the call option transaction entered into between Bank of America, N.A.  (“Dealer”) and Wright Medical Group N.V. (“Counterparty”) as of the Trade Date specified below (the “Transaction”).  This letter agreement constitutes a “Confirmation” as referred to in the ISDA Master Agreement specified below.  This Confirmation shall replace any previous agreements with respect to the Transaction and serve as the final documentation for the Transaction.
The definitions and provisions contained in the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “Equity Definitions”), as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) are incorporated into this Confirmation.  In the event of any inconsistency between the Equity Definitions and this Confirmation, this Confirmation shall govern.  Certain defined terms used herein are based on terms that are defined in the Private Placement Circular dated May 9, 2016 (the “Private Placement Circular”) relating to the 2.25% Cash Convertible Senior Notes due 2021 (as originally issued by Counterparty, the “Convertible Notes” and each USD 1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, a “Convertible Note”) issued by Counterparty in an aggregate initial principal amount of USD 395,000,000 pursuant to an Indenture to be dated May 20, 2016 between Counterparty and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Indenture”).  In the event of any inconsistency between the terms defined in the Private Placement Circular, the Indenture and this Confirmation, this Confirmation shall govern.  The parties acknowledge that this Confirmation is entered into on the date hereof with the understanding that (i) definitions set forth in the Indenture which are also defined herein by reference to the Indenture and (ii) sections of the Indenture that are referred to herein will conform to the descriptions thereof in the Private Placement Circular.  If any such definitions in the Indenture or any such sections of the Indenture differ from the descriptions thereof in the Private Placement Circular, the descriptions thereof in the Private Placement Circular will govern for purposes of this Confirmation.  The parties further acknowledge 








EXECUTION VERSION





that the Indenture section numbers used herein are based on the draft of the Indenture last reviewed by Dealer as of the date of this Confirmation, and if any such section numbers are changed in the Indenture as executed, the parties will amend this Confirmation in good faith to preserve the intent of the parties.  Subject to the foregoing, references to the Indenture herein are references to the Indenture as in effect on the date of its execution, and if the Indenture is amended following such date, any such amendment will be disregarded for purposes of this Confirmation unless the parties agree otherwise in writing.
Each party is hereby advised, and each such party acknowledges, that the other party has engaged in, or refrained from engaging in, substantial financial transactions and has taken other material actions in reliance upon the parties’ entry into the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates on the terms and conditions set forth below.

In the event of any inconsistency between provisions of the Agreement and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will prevail for the purpose of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates.  The parties hereby agree that no transaction other than the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates shall be governed by the Agreement.  The parties acknowledge that the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates is not governed by, and shall not be treated as a transaction under, any other ISDA Master Agreement entered into between the parties from time to time.

(each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all losses (including losses relating to Dealer’s hedging activities as a consequence of becoming, or of the risk of becoming, a Section 16 “insider”, including without limitation, any forbearance from hedging activities or cessation of hedging activities and any losses in connection therewith with respect to the Transaction), claims, damages, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), joint or several, which an Indemnified Person may become subject to, as a result of Counterparty’s failure to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this paragraph, and to reimburse, within 30 days, upon written request, each of such Indemnified Persons for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing for, providing testimony or other evidence in connection with or defending any of the foregoing.  If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against the Indemnified Person as a result of Counterparty’s failure to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice in accordance with this paragraph, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Counterparty in writing, and Counterparty, upon request of the Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others Counterparty may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding.  Counterparty shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding contemplated by this paragraph that is effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, Counterparty agrees to indemnify any Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Counterparty shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding contemplated by this paragraph that is in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding on terms reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person.  If the indemnification provided for in this paragraph is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then Counterparty hereunder, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities.  The remedies provided for in this paragraph (b) are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.  The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this paragraph shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of the Transaction.
		
	(c)
	Regulation M.  Counterparty is not on the Trade Date engaged in a distribution, as such term is used in Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), of any securities of Counterparty, other than a distribution meeting the requirements of the exception set forth in Rules 101(b)(10)

and 102(b)(7) of Regulation M.  Counterparty shall not, until the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date, engage in any such distribution.
		
	(d)
	No Manipulation.  Counterparty is not entering into the Transaction to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or otherwise in violation of the Exchange Act or the Dutch Act on Financial Supervision (Wet op het Financieel Toezicht).


		
	(e)
	Transfer or Assignment.


		
	(i)
	Counterparty shall have the right to transfer or assign its rights and obligations hereunder with respect to all, but not less than all, of the Options hereunder (such Options, the “Transfer Options”); provided that such transfer or assignment shall be subject to reasonable conditions that Dealer may impose, including but not limited, to the following conditions:


		
	(A)
	With respect to any Transfer Options, Counterparty shall not be released from its notice and indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 9(b) or any obligations under Section 9(m) or 9(q) of this Confirmation;


		
	(B)
	Such transfer or assignment shall be effected on terms, including any reasonable undertakings by such third party (including, but not limited to, an undertaking with respect to compliance with applicable securities laws in a manner that, in the reasonable judgment of Dealer, will not expose Dealer to material risks under applicable securities laws) and execution of any documentation and delivery of legal opinions with respect to securities laws and other matters by such third party and Counterparty, as are requested and reasonably satisfactory to Dealer;


		
	(C)
	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;


		
	(D)
	An Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or Termination Event will not occur as a result of such transfer and assignment;


		
	(E)
	Without limiting the generality of clause (B), Counterparty shall cause the transferee to make such Payee Tax Representations and to provide such tax documentation as may be reasonably requested by Dealer to permit Dealer to determine that results described in clause (C) will not occur upon or after such transfer and assignment; and


		
	(F)
	Counterparty shall be responsible for all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, incurred by Dealer in connection with such transfer or assignment;


		
	(ii)
	Dealer may, without Counterparty’s consent, transfer or assign all or any part of its rights or obligations under the Transaction (A) to any affiliate of Dealer

(1) that 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 (2) whose obligations hereunder will be guaranteed, pursuant to the terms of a customary guarantee in a form used by Dealer generally for similar transactions, by Dealer, or (B) to any other third party with a rating for its long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness equal to or better than the lesser of (1) the credit rating of Dealer at the time of the transfer and (2) A- by Standard and Poor’s Rating Group, Inc. or its successor (“S&P”), or A3 by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or, if either S&P or Moody’s ceases to rate such debt, at least an equivalent rating or better by a substitute rating agency mutually agreed by Counterparty and Dealer.  If at any time at which (A) the Section 16 Percentage exceeds 7.5%, (B) the Option Equity Percentage exceeds 14.5%, or (C) the Share Amount exceeds the Applicable Share Limit (if any applies) (any such condition described in clauses (A), (B) or (C), an “Excess Ownership Position”), Dealer is unable after using its good faith and commercially reasonable efforts to effect a transfer or assignment of Options to a third party on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to Dealer and within a time period reasonably acceptable to Dealer such that no Excess Ownership Position exists, then Dealer may designate any Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction (the “Terminated Portion”), such that following such partial termination no Excess Ownership Position exists.  In the event that Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (1) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Transaction and a Number of Options equal to the number of Options underlying the Terminated Portion, (2) Counterparty were the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (3) the Terminated Portion were the sole Affected Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 9(k) shall apply to any amount that is payable by Dealer to Counterparty pursuant to this sentence as if Counterparty was not the Affected Party).  The “Section 16 Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Dealer and each person subject to aggregation of Shares with Dealer 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 “Option Equity Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the sum of (1) the product of the Number of Options and the Option Entitlement and (2) the aggregate number of Shares underlying any other call option transaction sold by Dealer to Counterparty or Issuer, as applicable, and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding.  The 


18






EXECUTION VERSION





“Share Amount” as of any day is the number of Shares that Dealer and any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Dealer (Dealer or any such person, a “Dealer Person”) under any law, rule, regulation, regulatory order or organizational documents or contracts of Issuer that are, in each case, applicable to ownership of Shares (“Applicable Restrictions”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion.  The “Applicable Share Limit” means a number of Shares equal to (A) the minimum number of Shares that could give rise to reporting or registration obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval from any person or entity) of a Dealer Person, or could result in an adverse effect on a Dealer Person, under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion, minus (B) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding.
		
	(iii)
	Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities, or make or receive any payment in cash, to or from Counterparty, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities, or to make or receive such payment in cash, and otherwise to perform Dealer’s obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations.  Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such performance.


		
	(f)
	Ratings Decline.  If at any time the long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of Dealer is rated Ba1 or lower by Moody’s or BB+ or lower by S&P (any such rating, a “Ratings Downgrade”), then Counterparty may, at any time following the occurrence and during the continuation of such Ratings Downgrade, provide written notice to Dealer specifying that it elects for this Section 9(f) to apply (a “Trigger Notice”).  Upon receipt by Dealer of a Trigger Notice from Counterparty, Dealer shall promptly elect that either (i) the parties shall negotiate in good faith terms for collateral arrangements pursuant to which Dealer is required to provide collateral (including, but not limited to, equity or equity-linked securities issued by Counterparty or Issuer, as applicable) to Counterparty in respect of the Transaction with a value equal to the full mark-to-market exposure of Counterparty under the Transaction, as determined by Dealer in a good faith commercially reasonable manner, or (ii) an Additional Termination Event shall occur and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (A) Counterparty shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, and (B) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction.

	(h)
	Additional Termination Events.


		
	(i)
	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation if an event of default occurs under the terms of the Convertible Notes as set forth in Section 6.01 of the Indenture, then such event of default shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction and, with respect 




19






EXECUTION VERSION





to such Additional Termination Event, (A) Counterparty shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, (B) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (C) Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement.
		
	(ii)
	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, the receipt by Dealer from Counterparty, within the applicable time period set forth under “Notice of Exercise” of any Notice of Exercise in respect of Options that relate to Convertible Notes as to which additional Shares would be added to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 14.03 of the Indenture in connection with a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Indenture) (such Convertible Notes, “Make-Whole Convertible Notes”) shall constitute an Additional Termination Event as provided in this Section 9(h).  Upon receipt of any such Notice of Exercise, Dealer shall designate an Exchange Business Day following such Additional Termination Event (which Exchange Business Day shall in no event be earlier than the related settlement date for such Convertible Notes) as an Early Termination Date with respect to the portion of this Transaction corresponding to a number of Options (the “Make-Whole Conversion Options”) equal to the lesser of (A) the number of such Options specified in such Notice of Exercise and (B) the Number of Options as of the date Dealer designates such Early Termination Date (prior to giving effect to a reduction thereto on such date pursuant to the immediately following sentence).  As of any such Early Termination Date, the Number of Options shall be reduced by the applicable number of Make-Whole Conversion Options.  Any payment hereunder with respect to such termination of the Make-Whole Conversion Options shall be calculated pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement using a volatility input that is equal to the Relevant Volatility Input, as if (1) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to this Transaction and a Number of Options equal to the number of Make-Whole Conversion Options, (2) Counterparty were the sole Affected Party with respect to such Additional Termination Event and (3) the terminated portion of the Transaction were the sole Affected Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, in determining the amount payable pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement, the Calculation Agent shall not take into account any adjustments to the Option Entitlement that result from corresponding adjustments to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 14.03 of the Indenture); provided that the amount of cash deliverable in respect of such early termination by Dealer to Counterparty shall not be greater than the product of (x) the Applicable Percentage, (y) the number of Make-Whole Conversion Options and (z) the excess of (I) (1) the Conversion Rate (after taking into account any applicable adjustments to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 14.03 of the Indenture) multiplied by (2) a price per Share determined by the Calculation Agent over (II) the principal amount per Make-Whole Convertible Note, as determined by the Calculation Agent.  For the avoidance of doubt, if the Transaction (or a portion of the Transaction)

EXECUTION VERSION





is subject to termination or cancellation both (i) pursuant to this Section 9(h)(ii) and (ii) pursuant to either Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions, in each case, as a result of the same “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Indenture), as determined by Dealer in good faith and commercially reasonably, any such termination or cancellation payment with respect to the Transaction (or such portion of the Transaction, as applicable) shall be calculated using a volatility input that is equal to the Relevant Volatility Input.  “Relevant Volatility Input” means a volatility input that is determined by Dealer in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner and which, without limitation, may be based on implied volatility levels for options on the Shares with strike prices approximate to the Strike Price of the Transaction or approximate to the strike price of over-the-counter equity options on the Shares that are included in its commercially reasonable Hedge Positions with respect to the Transaction, in each case, as determined by Dealer in good faith and a commercially reasonable manner; provided that, if (i) Dealer (whether in its capacity as “Calculation Agent”, “Determining Party”, “Hedging Party” or otherwise) is required to determine a volatility input under any over-the-counter equity option transaction to which Dealer is a party and to which Counterparty (or, if different, Issuer) is party relating to the Shares (such equity option transactions, “Relevant Positions”) and (ii) Dealer determines that such Relevant Positions (or a portion thereof) are terminated, cancelled, offset or otherwise unwound at approximately the same time (as determined by Dealer in good faith and commercially reasonably) as the Transaction (or portion thereof) is terminated, cancelled, offset or otherwise unwound, Dealer shall use a Relevant Volatility Input that is no less than such volatility input for such Relevant Positions. For the avoidance of doubt, a Relevant Volatility Input that is equal to the volatility input for any Relevant Positions shall, in no event, be deemed to be commercially unreasonable.
		
	(iii)
	(a) Promptly following any Repayment Event (as defined below) (but, in any event, within 5 Scheduled Trading Days following settlement thereof), Counterparty may notify Dealer of such Repayment Event and the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Securities subject to such Repayment Event (the “Repayment Convertible Securities”) (any such notice, a “Repayment Notice”). The receipt by Dealer from Counterparty of any Repayment Notice shall constitute an Additional Termination Event as provided in this Section 9(h)(iii). 


(b)    Upon receipt of any such Repayment Notice, Dealer shall designate an Exchange Business Day following receipt of such Repayment Notice (which Exchange Business Day will in no event be earlier than the settlement date for the relevant Repayment Event) as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion (the “Repayment Terminated Portion”) of the Transaction consisting of a number of Options (the “Repayment Options”) equal to the lesser of (A) the number of Repayment Convertible Securities in denominations of USD1,000 that are subject to the relevant Repayment

EXECUTION VERSION





Event and (B) the Number of Options as of the date Dealer designates such Early Termination Date (prior to giving effect to a reduction thereto on such date pursuant to the immediately following sentence).  As of any such Early Termination Date, the Number of Options shall be reduced by the applicable number of Repayment Options.  
(c)    Any payment or delivery in respect of such termination of the Repayment Terminated Portion of the Transaction shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement.  If Dealer determines or otherwise uses a volatility input in determining an Early Termination Amount under Section 6 of the Agreement in respect of an Additional Termination Event pursuant to this Section 9(h)(iii), Dealer shall use the Relevant Volatility Input.  Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such Additional Termination Event and the Repayment Terminated Portion of the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction. “Repayment Event” means that (i) any Convertible Securities are repurchased by Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) any Convertible Securities are delivered to Counterparty in exchange for delivery of any property or assets of Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries (howsoever described), (iii) any principal of any of the Convertible Securities is repaid prior to the final maturity date of the Convertible Securities (other than upon an event of default under the Convertible Securities described in Section 9(h)(i)), or (iv) any Convertible Securities are exchanged by or for the benefit of the Holders (as defined in the Indenture) thereof for any other securities of Counterparty or any of its Affiliates (as defined in the Indenture) (or any other property, or any combination thereof) pursuant to any exchange offer or similar transaction; provided that no conversion of Convertible Securities pursuant to the terms of the Indenture shall constitute a Repayment Event.  Counterparty acknowledges its responsibilities under applicable securities laws, and in particular Section 9 and Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, in respect of any action taken by Counterparty or any of its Affiliates (as defined in the Indenture) in respect of a Repayment Event, including, without limitation, the delivery of a Repayment Notice.  
(d)    Counterparty shall cause any Convertible Securities subject to a Repayment Event to be promptly cancelled and acknowledges and agrees that, except to the extent provided above in this Section 9(h)(iii), all such Convertible Securities subject to a Repayment Event will be deemed for all purposes under the Transaction to be permanently extinguished and no longer outstanding.
		
	(i)
	Amendments to the Equity Definitions.


		
	(i)
	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 “official” and inserting a comma therefor, and (2) deleting the semi-colon at the end

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


		
	(j)
	Setoff.  Obligations under the Transaction shall not be set off by either party against any other obligations of the parties, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation, under any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise.  For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of bankruptcy or liquidation of either Counterparty or Dealer neither party shall have the right to set off any obligation that it may have to the other party under the Transaction against any obligation such other party may have to it, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation or any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise.


		
	(k)
	Alternative Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events.  If in respect of the Transaction, an amount is payable by Dealer to Counterparty (i) pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or (ii) pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (any such amount, a “Payment Obligation”), Dealer shall satisfy the Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative (as defined below), unless (a) Counterparty gives irrevocable telephonic notice to Dealer, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day, no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Merger Date, the Tender Offer Date, the Announcement Date (in the case of Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), the Early Termination Date or date of cancellation, as applicable, of its election that the Share Termination Alternative shall not apply, (b) Counterparty remakes (which representation is confirmed to Dealer in writing by Issuer, if other than Counterparty) the representation set forth in Section 8(f) as of the date of such election and (c) Dealer agrees, in its reasonable discretion, to such election, in which case the provisions of Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions, or the provisions of Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, as the case may be, shall apply.


		
	Share Termination Alternative:
	If applicable, Dealer shall deliver to Counterparty the Share Termination Delivery Property on, or within a commercially reasonable period of time after, the date when the relevant Payment Obligation would otherwise be due pursuant to Section 12.7 or 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or Section 6(d) (ii) and 6(e) of the Agreement, as applicable, in satisfaction of such Payment Obligation in the manner

EXECUTION VERSION





reasonably requested by Counterparty free of payment.
		
	Share Termination Delivery Property:
	A number of Share Termination Delivery Units, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the Payment Obligation divided by the Share Termination Unit Price.  The Calculation Agent shall adjust the Share Termination Delivery Property by replacing any fractional portion of a security therein with an amount of cash equal to the value of such fractional security based on the values used to calculate the Share Termination Unit Price.


		
	Share Termination Unit Price:
	The value to Dealer of property contained in one Share Termination Delivery Unit, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its discretion by commercially reasonable means and notified by the Calculation Agent to Dealer at the time of notification of the Payment Obligation.  For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that in determining the Share Termination Delivery Unit Price the Calculation Agent may consider, if commercially reasonable, the purchase price paid in connection with the purchase of Share Termination Delivery Property.


		
	Share Termination Delivery Unit:
	One Share or, if the Shares have changed into cash or any other property or the right to receive cash or any other property as the result of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event (any such cash or other property, the “Exchange Property”), a unit consisting of the type and amount of such Exchange Property received by a holder of one Share (without consideration of any requirement to pay cash or other consideration in lieu of fractional amounts of any securities) in such Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event, as determined by the Calculation Agent.

	Other applicable provisions:
	If Share Termination Alternative is applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9 and 9.11 (as modified above) of the Equity Definitions and the provisions set forth opposite the caption “Representation and Agreement” in Section 2 will be applicable, except that all references in such provisions to “Physically-settled” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Settled” and all references to “Shares” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Delivery Units”.  “Share Termination Settled” in relation to the Transaction means that the Share Termination Alternative is applicable to the Transaction.




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


		
	(m)
	Registration.  Counterparty hereby agrees that if, in the good faith reasonable judgment of Dealer, the Shares (“Hedge Shares”) acquired by Dealer for the purpose of hedging its obligations pursuant to the Transaction cannot be sold in the public market by Dealer without registration under the Securities Act, Counterparty shall (or shall cause Issuer to), at its election, either (i) in order to allow Dealer to sell the Hedge Shares in a registered offering, make available to Dealer an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and enter into an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Dealer, substantially in the form of an underwriting agreement for a registered secondary offering; provided, however, that if Dealer, in its sole reasonable discretion, is not satisfied with access to due diligence materials, the results of its due diligence investigation, or the procedures and documentation for the registered offering referred to above, then clause (ii) or clause (iii) of this paragraph shall apply at the election of Counterparty, (ii) in order to allow Dealer to sell the Hedge Shares in a private placement, enter into a private placement agreement substantially similar to private placement purchase agreements customary for private placements of equity securities, in form and substance satisfactory to Dealer (in which case, the Calculation Agent shall make any adjustments to the terms of 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

	Right to Extend.  Dealer may postpone or add, in whole or in part, any Valid Day or Valid Days during the Settlement Averaging Period or any other date of valuation, payment or delivery by Dealer, with respect to some or all of the Options hereunder, if Dealer reasonably and in good faith determines, based on the advice of counsel in the case of the immediately following clause (ii), that such action is reasonably necessary or appropriate (i) to preserve Dealer’s commercially reasonable hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions or (ii) to enable Dealer to effect transactions with respect to Shares in connection with its commercially reasonable hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if Dealer 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 Dealer.

Issuer shall not enter into or consummate any Non-US Merger Transaction unless the successor Issuer immediately following such Non-US Merger Transaction repeats to Dealer immediately following such Non-US Merger Transaction the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 8(a), 8(b), 8(c) and 8(d) of this Confirmation (as if references therein to (i) “execute, deliver” were replaced with “assume”, (ii) “execution, delivery” and “execution and delivery” were replaced with “assumption” and (iii) “executed and delivered” were replaced with “assumed”).  


Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation if (1) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction pursuant to which Issuer following such Non-US Merger Transaction is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the Islands of Bermuda, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, the Republic of Ireland, Canada or the United Kingdom, (2) Counterparty ceases to be a corporation organized under the laws of the Netherlands, the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Issuer, or (3) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction and does not comply with the requirements of the immediately previous paragraph of this Section 9(v), then such transaction or event shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (A) Counterparty shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, (B) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (C) Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement.  
If, at any time following the occurrence of any Non-US Merger Transaction, Dealer determines in good faith that (x) such Non-US Merger Transaction has had an adverse effect on Dealer’s rights and obligations under the Transaction or (y) Dealer would incur an increased amount of tax, duty, expense or fee to (1) acquire, establish, re-establish, substitute, maintain, unwind or dispose of any transaction(s) or asset(s) it deems necessary to hedge the economic risk of entering into and performing its obligations with respect to the Transaction, or (2) realize, recover or remit the proceeds of any such transaction(s) or asset(s) (each of the events described in clause (x) and clause (y) above, a “Non-US Merger Event”), then, in either case, Dealer shall give notice to Counterparty of such Non-US Merger Event.  Concurrently with delivering such notice, Dealer shall give notice to Counterparty of a Price Adjustment that Dealer reasonably and in good faith determines appropriate to account for the economic effect on the Transaction of such Non-US Merger Event (unless Dealer determines that no Price Adjustment will produce a commercially reasonably result, in which case Dealer shall so notify Counterparty).  Unless Dealer determines in good faith that no Price Adjustment will produce a commercially reasonably result, within one Scheduled Trading Day of receipt of such notice, Counterparty shall notify Dealer that it elects to (A) agree to amend the Transaction to take into account such Price Adjustment or (B) pay Dealer the amount determined by Dealer that corresponds to such Price Adjustment (and, in each case, Counterparty shall repeat the representation set forth in Section 8(f) of this Confirmation (which representation

is confirmed to Dealer in writing by Issuer, if other than Counterparty) as of the date of such election).  If Counterparty fails to give such notice to Dealer of its election in accordance with the foregoing by the end of that first Scheduled Trading Day, or if Dealer determines that no Price Adjustment will produce a commercially reasonably result, then such failure or such determination, as the case may be, shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction (it being understood that in the case of a Non-US Merger Event solely pursuant to clause (x) of the definition thereof, such determination shall constitute an Additional Termination Event only if the relevant adverse effect may have a material impact on Dealer’s rights and obligations under the Transaction, as determined by Dealer in good faith) and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (1) Counterparty shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, (2) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (3) Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement.  
For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto agree and acknowledge that (I) the occurrence of an Non-US Merger Event shall not preclude the occurrence of one or more additional, subsequent Non-US Merger Events and (II) if a Non-US Merger Event occurs, Dealer will determine, in its sole discretion, whether to exercise its rights under the provisions of this Section 9(v) and/or the rights and remedies of Dealer and its affiliates under any other provision of this Confirmation, the Equity Definitions and the Agreement.

	Tax Forms.  Counterparty shall provide to Dealer a valid U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-8BEN-E on or before the date of execution of this Confirmation and will promptly tender an updated IRS Form W-8BEN-E or other applicable IRS Form if the previously tendered IRS Form W-8BEN-E becomes obsolete or incorrect.  Dealer shall provide Counterparty a valid IRS Form W-9 on or before the date of execution of this Confirmation and will promptly tender an updated IRS Form W-9 or applicable IRS Form if the previously tendered IRS Form becomes obsolete or incorrect.


		
	(x)
	FATCA.    “Indemnifiable Tax” as defined in Section 14 of this Agreement shall not include any U.S. federal withholding tax imposed or collected pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such Sections of the Code (a “FATCA Withholding Tax”). For the avoidance of doubt, a FATCA Withholding Tax is a Tax the deduction or withholding of which is required by applicable law for the purposes of Section 2(d) of this Agreement.
