Re: Base Call Option Transaction


 


The purpose of this letter
agreement (this “Confirmation”) is to confirm the terms and conditions of the call option transaction entered
into between UBS AG, London Branch (“Dealer”) and Intercept Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“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 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 Prospectus dated April 1, 2014, as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement
dated June 30, 2016 (as so supplemented, the “Prospectus”) relating to the 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due
2023 (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 400,000,000
(as increased by up to an aggregate principal amount of USD 60,000,000 if and to the extent that the Underwriter (as defined herein)
exercises its over-allotment option to purchase additional Convertible Notes pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement (as defined
herein)) pursuant to an Indenture to be dated July 6, 2016 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by a Supplemental
Indenture thereto to be dated July 6, 2016 (the “Supplemental Indenture”), between Counterparty and U.S. Bank
National Association, as trustee (the Base Indenture as so supplemented, the “Indenture”). In the event of any
inconsistency between the terms defined in the Prospectus, 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 that 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 Prospectus. If any such definitions in the Indenture or any such sections
of the Indenture differ from the descriptions thereof in the Prospectus, the descriptions thereof in the Prospectus will govern
for purposes of this Confirmation. The parties further acknowledge that the Supplemental Indenture section numbers used herein
are based on the draft of the Supplemental Indenture last reviewed by Dealer as of the date of this Confirmation, and if any such
section numbers are changed in the Supplemental 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 Base Indenture or the Supplemental Indenture herein
are references to the Base Indenture or the Supplemental Indenture, as the case may be, as in effect on the date of its execution,
and if either the Base Indenture or the Supplemental Indenture is amended or supplemented following such date (other than any amendment
or supplement (x) pursuant to Section 10.02(m) of the Supplemental Indenture that, as determined by the Calculation Agent, conforms
the Indenture to the description of Convertible Notes in the Prospectus or (y) pursuant to Section 14.07 of the Supplemental Indenture,
subject, in the case of this clause (y), to the first proviso to the provision opposite the caption “Method of Adjustment”
in Section ‎3), any such amendment or supplement 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.


 


1.          This
Confirmation evidences a complete and binding agreement between Dealer and Counterparty as to the terms of the Transaction to which
this Confirmation relates. This Confirmation shall supplement, form a part of, and be subject to an agreement in the form of the
2002 ISDA Master Agreement (the “Agreement”) as if Dealer and Counterparty had executed an agreement in such
form (but without any Schedule except for (i) the election of the laws of the State of New York as the governing law (without reference
to choice of law doctrine); (ii) the election that the “Cross Default” provisions
of Section 5(a)(vi) of the Agreement shall apply to Dealer with (a) the phrase “, or becoming capable at such time of being
declared,” deleted from Section 5(a)(vi)(1) of the Agreement, (b) a “Threshold Amount” with respect to Dealer
of three percent (3%) of shareholders’ equity of Dealer as of the Trade Date, and (c) the following language added to the
end of Section 5(a)(vi): “Notwithstanding the foregoing, a default under subsection (2) hereof shall not constitute an Event
of Default if (x) the default was caused solely by error or omission of an administrative or operational nature; (y) funds were
available to enable the party to make the payment when due; and (z) the payment is made within two Local Business Days of such
party’s receipt of written notice of its failure to pay.”; and (iii) the term “Specified Indebtedness”
shall have the meaning specified in Section 14 of the Agreement, except that such term shall not include obligations in respect
of deposits received in the ordinary course of Dealer’s banking business) on the Trade Date. In the event of any inconsistency
between provisions of the Agreement and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will prevail for the purpose of the Transaction to
which this Confirmation relates. The parties hereby agree that no transaction other than the Transaction to which this Confirmation
relates shall be governed by the Agreement.

	 	 	provided that in no event shall the sum of (x) the Combination Settlement Cash Amount for such Option and (y) the Combination Settlement Share Amount for such Option, multiplied by the Applicable Limit Price on the Settlement Date for such Option, exceed the Applicable Limit for such Option.
	 	 	 
	 	 	Dealer will pay cash in lieu of delivering any fractional Shares to be delivered with respect to any Combination Settlement Share Amount valued at the Relevant Price for the last Valid Day of the Settlement Averaging Period.

that in no event shall the Cash Settlement Amount for such Option exceed the Applicable Limit for such Option.

	 	 	 
	 	Daily Option Value:	For any Valid Day, an amount equal to (i) the Option Entitlement on such Valid Day, multiplied by (ii) (A) the lesser of the Relevant Price on such Valid Day and the Cap Price, minus (B) the Strike Price on such Valid Day; provided that, if the calculation contained in clause (ii) above results in a negative number, the Daily Option Value for such Valid Day shall be deemed to be zero. In no event will the Daily Option Value be less than zero.
	 	 	 
	 	Applicable Limit:

For the avoidance of doubt, Dealer shall not have any delivery or payment obligation hereunder, and no adjustment shall be made to the terms of the Transaction, on account of (x) any distribution of cash, property or securities by Counterparty to holders of the Convertible Notes (upon conversion or otherwise) or (y) any other transaction in which holders of the Convertible Notes are entitled to participate, in each case, in lieu of an adjustment under the Indenture of the type referred to in the immediately preceding sentence (including, without limitation, pursuant to the fourth sentence of the first paragraph of Section 14.04(c) of the Supplemental Indenture or the fourth sentence of Section 14.04(d) of the Supplemental Indenture).

        corresponding adjustment to any one or more of the Strike Price, Number of Options, Option Entitlement and any other variable
        relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment for the Transaction to the extent an analogous adjustment is required
        to be made pursuant to the Indenture in connection with such Potential Adjustment Event;

         



 




    	 	9	 



     


    

 


	 	 	provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing and “Consequences of Merger Events / Tender Offers” below, if the Calculation Agent in good faith disagrees with any adjustment to the Convertible Notes that involves an exercise of discretion by Counterparty or its board of directors (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 14.05 of the Supplemental Indenture, Section 14.07 of the Supplemental Indenture or any supplemental indenture entered into thereunder or in connection with any proportional adjustment or the determination of the fair value of any securities, property, rights or other assets), then in each such case, the Calculation Agent will determine the adjustment to be made to any one or more of the Strike Price, Number of Options, Option Entitlement and any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment for the Transaction in a commercially reasonable manner and in consultation with Counterparty;
	 	 	 
	 	 	provided further that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Potential Adjustment Event occurs during the Settlement Averaging Period but no adjustment was made to any Convertible Note under the Indenture because the relevant Holder (as such term is defined in the Indenture) was deemed to be a record owner of the underlying Shares on the related Conversion Date, then the Calculation Agent shall make an adjustment, as determined by it, to the terms hereof in order to account for such Potential Adjustment Event in a commercially reasonable manner and in consultation with Counterparty.
	 	 	 
	 	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Calculation Agent’s obligation to consult with Counterparty as set forth in this “—Method of Adjustment” section shall be subject to compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, and with related policies and procedures applicable to the Calculation Agent (as reasonably determined by the Calculation Agent). In addition, for the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding the Calculation Agent’s obligation to consult with Counterparty as set forth in this “—Method of Adjustment” section, all calculations, adjustments and determinations made by the Calculation Agent shall be final and conclusive.
	 	 	 
	 	Dilution Adjustment Provisions:	Sections 14.04(a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) and Section 14.05 of the Supplemental Indenture.

Extraordinary Events applicable
to the Transaction:


 


	 	Merger Events:	Applicable; provided that notwithstanding Section 12.1(b) of the Equity Definitions, which shall not apply with respect to the Transaction, a “Merger Event” means the occurrence of a “Share Exchange Event” (as defined in Section 14.07 of the Supplemental Indenture).
	 	 	 
	 	Tender Offers:	Applicable; provided that notwithstanding Section 12.1(d) of the Equity Definitions, a “Tender Offer” means the occurrence of any event or condition set forth in Section 14.04(e) of the Supplemental Indenture.
	 	 	 
	 	Consequences of Merger Events/	 
	 	Tender Offers:	Notwithstanding Section 12.2 and Section 12.3 of the Equity Definitions, upon the occurrence of a Merger Event or a Tender Offer, the Calculation Agent shall make a corresponding adjustment in respect of any adjustment under the Indenture to any one or more of the nature of the Shares (in the case of a Merger Event), Strike Price, Number of Options and the Option Entitlement to the extent an analogous adjustment is required to be made pursuant to the Indenture in connection with such Merger Event or Tender Offer, as the case may be; provided, however, that such adjustment shall be made without regard to any adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to any Excluded Provision;
	 	 	 
	 	 	provided further that if, with respect to a Merger Event or a Tender Offer, (i) the consideration for the Shares includes (or, at the option of a holder of Shares, may include) shares of an entity or person that is not a corporation or is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia or (ii) the Counterparty to the Transaction following such Merger Event or Tender Offer will not be a corporation, then, in either case, Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination) may apply at Dealer’s sole election; and
	 	 	 
	 	 	provided further that, for the avoidance of doubt, adjustments shall be made pursuant to the provisions set forth above regardless of whether any Merger Event or Tender Offer gives rise to an Early Conversion.

	 	Consequences of Announcement Events:	Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment as set forth in Section 12.3(d) of the Equity Definitions; provided that, in respect of an Announcement Event, (x) references to “Tender Offer” shall be replaced by references to “Announcement Event” and references to “Tender Offer Date” shall be replaced by references to “date of such Announcement Event”, (y) the word “shall” in the second line shall be replaced with “may” and the phrase “exercise, settlement, payment or any other terms of the Transaction (including, without limitation, the spread)” shall be replaced with the phrase “Cap Price (provided that in no event shall the Cap Price be less than the Strike Price)”, and (z) for the avoidance of doubt, the Calculation Agent may determine whether the relevant Announcement Event has had a material economic effect on the Transaction (and, if so, may adjust the Cap Price accordingly) on one or more occasions on or after the date of the Announcement Event up to, and including, the Expiration Date, any Early Termination Date and/or any other date of cancellation, it being understood that any adjustment in respect of an Announcement Event shall take into account any earlier adjustment relating to the same Announcement Event. An Announcement Event shall be an “Extraordinary Event” for purposes of the Equity Definitions, to which Article 12 of the Equity Definitions is applicable.
	 	 	 
	 	Announcement Event:	(i) The public announcement by any entity of (x) any transaction or event that, if completed, would constitute a Merger Event or Tender Offer, (y) any potential acquisition by Issuer and/or its subsidiaries where the aggregate consideration exceeds 30% of the market capitalization of Issuer as of the date of such announcement (an “Acquisition Transaction”) or (z) the firm intention to enter into a Merger Event or Tender Offer or an Acquisition Transaction (provided that, in the case of this clause (z), such entity has or could obtain the financial resources necessary to consummate such transaction, as determined by the Calculation Agent (which determination, for the avoidance of doubt, may take into consideration the effect of such announcement, as determined by the Calculation Agent, on the market price of the Shares or options relating to the Shares)), (ii) the public announcement by Issuer of a firm intention to solicit or enter into, or to explore strategic alternatives or other similar undertaking that may include, a Merger Event or Tender Offer or an Acquisition Transaction or (iii) any subsequent public announcement by any entity of a material change to a transaction or intention that is the subject of an announcement of the type described in clause (i) or (ii) of this sentence (including, without limitation, a new announcement, whether or not by the same party, relating to such a transaction or intention or the announcement of a withdrawal from, or the abandonment or discontinuation of, such a transaction or intention), as determined by the Calculation Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, the occurrence of an Announcement Event with respect to any transaction or intention shall not preclude the occurrence of a later Announcement Event with respect to such transaction or intention. For purposes of this definition of “Announcement Event,” (A) “Merger Event” shall mean such term as defined under Section 12.1(b) of the Equity Definitions (but, for the avoidance of doubt, the remainder of the definition of “Merger Event” in Section 12.1(b) of the Equity Definitions following the definition of “Reverse Merger” therein shall be disregarded) and (B) “Tender Offer” shall mean such term as defined under Section 12.1(d) of the Equity Definitions; provided that Section 12.1(d) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by (i) inserting the word “similar” immediately prior to the word “event” in the second line thereof and (ii) replacing “10%” with “30%” in the third line thereof.

	 	Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting:	Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination); provided that, in addition to the provisions of Section 12.6(a)(iii) of the Equity Definitions, it will also constitute a Delisting if the Exchange is located in the United States and the Shares are not immediately re-listed, re-traded or re-quoted on any of the New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market or The NASDAQ Global Market (or their respective successors); if the Shares are immediately re-listed, re-traded or re-quoted on any of the New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market or The NASDAQ Global Market (or their respective successors), such exchange or quotation system shall thereafter be deemed to be the Exchange.

	 	Change in Law:	Applicable; provided that Section 12.9(a)(ii) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by (i) replacing the word “Shares” with the phrase “Hedge Positions” in clause (X) thereof and (ii) inserting the parenthetical “(including, for the avoidance of doubt and without limitation, adoption or promulgation of new regulations authorized or mandated by existing statute)” at the end of clause (A) thereof.
	 	 	 
	 	Failure to Deliver:	Applicable
	 	 	 
	 	Hedging Disruption:	Applicable; provided that:


 


	 	(i)	Section 12.9(a)(v) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by inserting the following phrases at the end of such Section:
	 	 	 
	 	 	“For the avoidance of doubt, the term “equity price risk” shall be deemed to include, but shall not be limited to, stock price and volatility risk. And, for the further avoidance of doubt, any such transactions or assets referred to in phrases (A) or (B) above must be available on commercially reasonable pricing terms as determined by Dealer (whose determination shall be final and conclusive) in consultation with Counterparty. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, a de minimis increase (as compared with circumstances existing on the Trade Date) in the cost of acquiring, establishing, re-establishing, substituting, maintaining, unwinding or disposing of any transaction(s) or asset(s) that the Hedging Party deems necessary to hedge the equity price risk of entering into and performing its obligations with respect to the relevant Transaction shall not give rise to a Hedging Disruption.”; and


 




    	 	13	 



     


    

 


	 	(ii)	Section 12.9(b)(iii) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by inserting in the third line thereof, after the words “to terminate the Transaction”, the words “or a portion of the Transaction affected by such Hedging Disruption”.


 


	 	Increased Cost of Hedging:	Not Applicable
	 	 	 
	 	Hedging Party:	For all applicable Additional Disruption Events, Dealer.

	4.	Calculation Agent.	Dealer, whose judgments, determinations and calculations shall be made in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner; provided that, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default of the type described in Section 5(a)(vii) of the Agreement with respect to which Dealer is the Defaulting Party, Counterparty shall have the right to designate a nationally recognized third-party dealer in over-the-counter corporate equity derivatives to act, during the period commencing on the date such Event of Default occurred and ending on the Early Termination Date with respect to such Event of Default (or, if earlier, the date on which such Event of Default is no longer continuing), as the Calculation Agent. Following any determination or calculation by the Calculation Agent hereunder, upon a written request by Counterparty, the Calculation Agent shall promptly (but in any event within five (5) Scheduled Valid Days) provide to Counterparty by e-mail to the e-mail address provided by Counterparty in such request, a report (in a commonly used file format for the storage and manipulation of financial data) displaying in reasonable detail the basis for such determination or calculation (including any assumptions used in making such determination or calculation), it being understood that the Calculation Agent shall not be obligated to disclose any proprietary or confidential models or proprietary or confidential information used by it for such determination or calculation.

8.          Representations
and Warranties.


 


Other than for
purposes of Section 5(a)(iv) of the Agreement, each of the representations and warranties of Counterparty set forth in Section
1 of the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) dated as of June 30, 2016 between Counterparty
and RBC Capital Markets, LLC and UBS Securities LLC, as representatives of the Underwriters party thereto (the “Underwriter”),
are true and correct and are hereby deemed to be repeated to Dealer as if set forth herein. Counterparty hereby further represents
and warrants to Dealer on the date hereof and on and as of the Premium Payment Date that:


 


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


 


(b)          Neither
the execution and delivery of this Confirmation nor the incurrence or performance of obligations of Counterparty hereunder will
conflict with or result in a breach of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or any equivalent documents) of Counterparty,
or any applicable law or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or agency,
or any agreement or instrument filed as an exhibit to Counterparty’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2015, as updated by any subsequent filings, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien under, any
such agreement or instrument.


 


(c)          No
consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or filing with, any governmental agency or body or any court is required in connection
with the execution, delivery or performance by Counterparty of this Confirmation, except such as have been obtained or made and
such as may be required under the Securities Act or state securities laws.


 


(d)          Counterparty
is not and, after consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, will not be required to register as an “investment
company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.


 


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


 


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


 


(g)          To
Counterparty’s knowledge, no state or local (including any non-U.S. jurisdiction’s) law, rule, regulation or regulatory
order applicable to the Shares would give rise to any reporting, consent, registration or other requirement (including without
limitation a requirement to obtain prior approval from any person or entity) as a result of Dealer or its affiliates owning or
holding (however defined) Shares.


 




    	 	16	 



     


    

 


(h)          Counterparty
(A) is capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to all transactions and investment
strategies involving a security or securities; (B) will exercise independent judgment in evaluating the recommendations of any
broker-dealer or its associated persons, unless it has otherwise notified the broker-dealer in writing; and (C) has total assets
of at least USD 50 million.


 


(i)          Without
limiting the generality of Section 13.1 of the Equity Definitions, Counterparty acknowledges that Dealer is not making any representations
or warranties with respect to the treatment of the Transaction under any accounting standards including FASB Statements 128, 133,
149 (each as amended), or 150, EITF Issue No. 00-19, 01-6, 03-6 or 07-5 (or any successor issue statements) or under FASB’s
Liabilities & Equity Project.


 


(j)          Without
limiting the generality of Section 3(a)(iii) of the Agreement, the Transaction will not violate Rule 13e-1 or Rule 13e-4 under
the Exchange Act.


 


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


 


Dealer hereby represents
and warrants to Counterparty on the date hereof and on and as of the Premium Payment Date, that Dealer is an “eligible contract
participant” (as such term is defined in Section 1a(18) of the Commodity Exchange Act, other than a person that is an eligible
contract participant under Section 1a(18)(C) of the Commodity Exchange Act).


 


9.          Other
Provisions.


 


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


 




    	 	17	 



     


    

 


(b)          Repurchase
Notices. Counterparty shall, on any day on which Counterparty effects any repurchase of Shares, promptly give Dealer a
written notice of such repurchase (a “Repurchase Notice”) on such day if following such repurchase, the Notice
Percentage as determined on the date of such Repurchase Notice is (i) greater than 6.0% and (ii) greater by 0.5% than the Notice
Percentage included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice (or, in the case of the first such Repurchase Notice, greater
than the Notice Percentage as of the date hereof); provided that Counterparty shall deliver a Repurchase Notice to Dealer
at least five Scheduled Valid Days prior to effecting any non-open market repurchase (including, without limitation, pursuant to
a tender offer or an accelerated share repurchase program or other structured derivative transaction) that Counterparty reasonably
expects to result in the repurchase of a number of Shares constituting more than 10% of the number of Shares outstanding on the
date of such repurchase. The “Notice Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, the
numerator of which is the Number of Shares and the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day. Counterparty
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Dealer 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 reasonable
losses (including losses relating to Dealer’s commercially reasonable hedging activities as a consequence of becoming, or
of the risk of becoming, a Section 16 “insider”, including without limitation, any forbearance from commercially reasonable
hedging activities or cessation of commercially reasonable hedging activities and any reasonable 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 under applicable securities laws, 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 to the extent that the Indemnified Person fails to notify Counterparty within a commercially
reasonable period of time after any action is commenced against it in respect of which Indemnity may be sought hereunder. In addition,
Counterparty shall not be liable for any settlement of any such 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. Counterparty shall not be liable for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or expenses relating thereto) of any Indemnified
Person that result from the bad faith, gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud of such Indemnified Person. If the indemnification
provided for in this paragraph is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any reasonable 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, and will not be during any “Observation Period” (as defined in the
Indenture) in respect of any conversion of a Convertible Note that is not an Early Conversion, 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 (i) a distribution meeting the requirements of the exception set forth in Rules 101(b)(10)
and 102(b)(7) of Regulation M and (ii) the distribution of the Convertible Notes. Counterparty shall not, until the second Scheduled
Valid Day immediately following the Trade Date, and from the beginning of such “Observation Period” until the second
Scheduled Valid Day immediately following the relevant Settlement Date, engage in any such distribution.


 




    	 	18	 



     


    

 


(d)          Rule
10b-18. On the Trade Date and during any “Observation Period” (as defined in the Indenture) in respect of any
conversion of a Convertible Note that is not an Early Conversion, neither Counterparty nor any “affiliate” or “affiliated
purchaser” (each as defined in Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act (“Rule 10b-18”)) shall directly or indirectly
(including, without limitation, by means of any cash-settled or other derivative instrument) purchase, offer to purchase, place
any bid or limit order that would effect a purchase of, or commence any tender offer relating to, any Shares (or an equivalent
interest, including a unit of beneficial interest in a trust or limited partnership or a depository share) or any security convertible
into or exchangeable or exercisable for Shares.


 


(e)          Resolutions.
On or prior to the Trade Date, Counterparty shall deliver to Dealer a resolution of Counterparty’s board of directors authorizing
the Transaction.


 


(f)          Solvency.
On each of the Trade Date and the Premium Payment Date, Counterparty is not, or will not be, “insolvent” (as such term
is defined under Section 101(32) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code) (the “Bankruptcy Code”)),
and Counterparty would be able to purchase a number of Shares equal to the Number of Shares in compliance with the corporate laws
of the jurisdiction of its incorporation.


 


(g)          Private
Placement. Counterparty acknowledges that the offer and sale of the Transaction to it is intended to be exempt from registration
under the Securities Act, by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) thereof. Accordingly, Counterparty represents and warrants to Dealer that
(i) it has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Transaction and is able to bear a total loss
of its investment, (ii) it is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Regulation D as promulgated under
the Securities Act, (iii) it is entering into the Transaction for its own account and without a view to the distribution or resale
thereof and (iv) the assignment, transfer or other disposition of the Transaction has not been and will not be registered under
the Securities Act and is restricted under this Confirmation, the Securities Act and state securities laws.


 


(h)          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.


 


(i)          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(p) 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 reasonably requested
and reasonably satisfactory to Dealer;


 




    	 	19	 



     


    

  


(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)         Counterparty
shall cause the transferee to make such Payee Tax Representations and to provide such tax documentation as may be reasonably requested
by Dealer to permit Dealer to determine that results described in clauses ‎(C) and ‎(D) 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 that is a dealer as defined under Section 475(c)(1) of the Code (1) that has a long-term issuer
rating that is equal to or better than Dealer’s credit rating at the time of such transfer or assignment, or (2) whose obligations
hereunder will be guaranteed, pursuant to the terms of a full and unconditional customary guarantee in a form used by Dealer generally
for similar transactions, by Dealer or Dealer’s ultimate parent, or (B) to any other third party that is a dealer as defined
under Section 475(c)(1) of the Code with a long-term issuer rating equal to or better than the lesser of (1) the credit rating
of Dealer at the time of the transfer and (2) A- by Standard and Poor’s Rating Group, Inc. or its successor (“S&P”),
or A3 by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or, if either S&P or Moody’s ceases
to rate such debt, at least an equivalent rating or better by a substitute rating agency mutually agreed by Counterparty and Dealer.
Without limiting the foregoing, no transfer or assignment by Dealer shall be permitted hereunder if an Event of Default, Potential
Event of Default or Termination Event would occur as a result of such transfer or assignment. If at any time at which (A) the Section
16 Percentage exceeds 8.5%, (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 commercially reasonable efforts to effect a transfer or assignment of Options to a third party
in accordance with the two immediately preceding sentences 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(o) shall apply to any amount that is payable by Dealer to Counterparty pursuant to this sentence
as if Counterparty was not the Affected Party); provided that in calculating any amount due following such designation,
Dealer shall act in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner and shall comply with the second sentence of the provision
opposite the caption “Calculation Agent” above as if Dealer were acting as Calculation Agent for this purpose. 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, and (B) the denominator of which is the number of
Shares outstanding. The “Share Amount” as of any day is the number of Shares that Dealer and any person whose
ownership position would be aggregated with that of Dealer (Dealer or any such person, a “Dealer Person”) under
any law, rule, regulation, regulatory order or organizational documents or contracts of Counterparty that are, in each case, applicable
to ownership of Shares (“Applicable Restrictions”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls,
holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by
Dealer in its reasonable discretion. The “Applicable Share Limit” means a number of Shares equal to (A) the
minimum number of Shares that could give rise to reporting or registration obligations (except for any filing requirements on Form
13F, Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G under the Exchange Act, in each case, as in effect on the Trade Date) or other requirements (including
obtaining prior approval from any person or entity) of a Dealer Person, or could result in a material 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.


 


(j)          Staggered
Settlement. If upon advice of counsel with respect to applicable legal and regulatory requirements, including any requirements
relating to Dealer’s commercially reasonable hedging activities hereunder, Dealer reasonably determines that it would not
be practicable or advisable to deliver, or to acquire Shares to deliver, any or all of the Shares to be delivered by Dealer on
any Settlement Date for the Transaction, Dealer may, by notice to Counterparty on or prior to any Settlement Date (a “Nominal
Settlement Date”), elect to deliver the Shares on two or more dates (each, a “Staggered Settlement Date”)
as follows:


 


(i)          in
such notice, Dealer will specify to Counterparty the related Staggered Settlement Dates (the first of which will be such Nominal
Settlement Date and the last of which will be no later than the twentieth (20th) Exchange Business Day following such
Nominal Settlement Date) and the number of Shares that it will deliver on each Staggered Settlement Date;


 


(ii)         the
aggregate number of Shares that Dealer will deliver to Counterparty hereunder on all such Staggered Settlement Dates will equal
the number of Shares that Dealer would otherwise be required to deliver on such Nominal Settlement Date;


 


(iii)        if
the Net Share Settlement terms or the Combination Settlement terms set forth above were to apply on the Nominal Settlement Date,
then the Net Share Settlement terms or the Combination Settlement terms, as the case may be, will apply on each Staggered Settlement
Date, except that the Shares (or Share Termination Delivery Units) otherwise deliverable on such Nominal Settlement Date will be
allocated among such Staggered Settlement Dates as specified by Dealer in the notice referred to in clause (i) above; and


 




    	 	21	 



     


    

  


(iv)        when
specifying Staggered Settlement Dates pursuant to this Section ‎9(j), Dealer shall specify the fewest number of Staggered Settlement
Dates as is practicable under the circumstances, as determined by Dealer.


 


(k)          Role
of Agent. UBS Securities LLC shall act as “agent” (the “Agent”) for Dealer within the meaning
of Rule 15a-6 under the Exchange Act in connection with the Transaction. Dealer notifies Counterparty that (i) the Agent acts solely
as agent on a disclosed basis with respect to the transactions contemplated hereunder, and (ii) the Agent has no obligation, by
guaranty, endorsement or otherwise, with respect to the obligations of Dealer hereunder, either with respect to the delivery of
cash or Shares, either at the beginning or end of the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of Dealer and Counterparty acknowledges
and agrees to look solely to each other for performance hereunder, and not to the Agent.


 


(l)          Additional
Termination Events.


 


(i)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, upon any Early Conversion in respect of which a “Notice of Conversion”
(as such term is defined in the Indenture) that is effective as to Counterparty has been delivered by the relevant converting Holder:


 


(A)         Counterparty
shall, within one Scheduled Valid Day of the “Conversion Date” (as such term is defined in the Indenture)
for such Early Conversion, provide written notice (an “Early Conversion Notice”) to Dealer specifying the number
of Convertible Notes surrendered for conversion on such “Conversion Date” (such Convertible Notes, the “Affected
Convertible Notes”), and the giving of such Early Conversion Notice shall constitute an Additional Termination
Event as provided in this clause ‎(i);


 


(B)         upon
receipt of any such Early Conversion Notice, Dealer shall designate an Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date (which
Exchange Business Day shall be no earlier than one Scheduled Valid Day following the “Conversion Date” for such Early
Conversion) with respect to the portion of the Transaction corresponding to a number of Options (the “Affected Number
of Options”) equal to the lesser of (x) the number of Affected Convertible Notes and (y) the Number of Options as of
the “Conversion Date” for such Early Conversion;


 


(C)         any
payment hereunder with respect to such termination shall be calculated pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (x) 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 Affected Number of Options, (y) Counterparty were the sole Affected Party with respect to such Additional Termination
Event and (z) the terminated portion of the Transaction were the sole Affected Transaction; provided that the amount payable
with respect to such termination shall not be greater than (1) the Applicable Percentage, multiplied by (2) the Affected
Number of Options, multiplied by (3) (x) the sum of (i) the amount of cash paid (if any) and (ii) the number of Shares delivered
(if any) to the Holder (as such term is defined in the Indenture) of an Affected Convertible Note upon conversion of such Affected
Convertible Note, multiplied by the fair market value of one Share as determined by the Calculation Agent, minus
(y) USD 1,000;


 




    	 	22	 



     


    

  


(D)         for
the avoidance of doubt, in determining the amount payable in respect of such Affected Transaction pursuant to Section 6 of the
Agreement, the Calculation Agent shall assume that (x) the relevant Early Conversion and any conversions, adjustments, agreements,
payments, deliveries or acquisitions by or on behalf of Counterparty leading thereto had not occurred, (y) no adjustments to the
Conversion Rate have occurred pursuant to any Excluded Provision and (z) the corresponding Convertible Notes remain outstanding;
and


 


(E)         the
Transaction shall remain in full force and effect, except that, as of the “Conversion Date” for such Early Conversion,
the Number of Options shall be reduced by the Affected Number of Options.


 


(ii)         Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, upon any Make-Whole Conversion in respect of which a “Notice of Conversion”
(as such term is defined in the Indenture) that is effective as to Counterparty has been delivered by the relevant converting Holder:


 


(A)         Counterparty
shall, within one Scheduled Valid Day of the “Conversion Date” (as such term is defined in the Indenture) for such
Make-Whole Conversion, provide written notice (a “Make-Whole Conversion Notice”) to Dealer specifying the number
of Convertible Notes surrendered for conversion on such “Conversion Date” (such Convertible Notes, the “Make-Whole
Convertible Notes”), and the giving of such Make-Whole Conversion Notice shall constitute an Additional Termination Event
as provided in this clause ‎‎(ii);


 


(B)         upon
receipt of any such Make-Whole Conversion Notice, Dealer shall designate an Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date
(which Exchange Business Day shall be no earlier than one Scheduled Valid Day following the “Conversion Date” for such
Make-Whole Conversion) with respect to the portion of the Transaction corresponding to a number of Options (the “Make-Whole
Number of Options”) equal to the lesser of (x) the number of Affected Convertible Notes and (y) the Number of Options
as of the “Conversion Date” for such Make-Whole Conversion;


 


(C)         any
payment hereunder with respect to such termination shall be calculated pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (1) an Early
Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Transaction and a Number of Options
equal to the number of Make-Whole Number of 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 Supplemental Indenture); provided that the payment in respect of such early termination by Dealer to Counterparty
shall not be greater than the product of (x) the Applicable Percentage and (y) the excess of (I) (1) the number of Make-Whole Conversion
Options, multiplied by (2) the Conversion Rate (after taking into account any applicable adjustments to the Conversion Rate
pursuant to Section 14.03 of the Supplemental Indenture), multiplied by (3) the opening price per Share on the Exchange
on the “Conversion Date,” as determined by the Calculation Agent in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner,
over (II) the aggregate principal amount of such Convertible Notes, as determined by the Calculation Agent in good faith and in
a commercially reasonable manner;


 




    	 	23	 



     


    

  


(D)         for
the avoidance of doubt, in determining the amount payable in respect of such Affected Transaction pursuant to Section 6 of the
Agreement, the Calculation Agent shall assume that (x) the relevant Make-Whole Conversion and any conversions, adjustments, agreements,
payments, deliveries or acquisitions by or on behalf of Counterparty leading thereto had not occurred, (y) no adjustments to the
Conversion Rate have occurred pursuant to any Excluded Provision and (z) the corresponding Convertible Notes remain outstanding;
and


 


(E)         the
Transaction shall remain in full force and effect, except that, as of the “Conversion Date” for such Make-Whole Conversion,
the Number of Options shall be reduced by the Make-Whole Number of Options.


 


(iii)        Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, if an event of default with respect to Counterparty occurs under the terms of the
Convertible Notes as set forth in Section 6.02 of the Supplemental Indenture that results in an acceleration of the Convertible
Notes pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, then such event of default shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable
to the Transaction and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (A) Counterparty shall be deemed to be the sole Affected
Party, (B) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (C) Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early
Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement.


 


(m)          Amendments
to Equity Definitions.


 


(i)          Section
11.2(e)(vii) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the words “a diluting or concentrative effect on the
theoretical value of the relevant Shares” and replacing them with the words “an economic effect on the Transaction”.


 


(ii)         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 of subsection
(B) thereof and inserting the following words therefor “or (C) the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 5(a)(vii)
(1) through (9) of the ISDA Master Agreement with respect to that Issuer.”


 


(iii)        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.


 


(n)          No
Collateral, Netting or Setoff. Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement or any other agreement between the parties
to the contrary, the obligations of Counterparty hereunder are not secured by any collateral. Obligations under the Transaction
shall not be netted or set off 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, and no other obligations of the parties
shall be netted or set off against obligations under the Transaction, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation, under
any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise, and each party hereby waives any such right of
setoff.


 




    	 	24	 



     


    

  


(o)          Alternative
Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events. If (a) an Early Termination Date (whether
as a result of an Event of Default or a Termination Event) occurs or is designated with respect to the Transaction or (b) the Transaction
is cancelled or terminated upon the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event (except as a result of (i) a Nationalization, Insolvency
or Merger Event in which the consideration to be paid to holders of Shares consists solely of cash, (ii) a Merger Event or Tender
Offer that is within Counterparty’s control, or (iii) an Event of Default in which Counterparty is the Defaulting Party or
a Termination Event in which Counterparty is the Affected Party other than an Event of Default of the type described in Section
5(a)(iii), (v), (vi), (vii) or (viii) of the Agreement or a Termination Event of the type described in Section 5(b) of the Agreement,
in each case that resulted from an event or events outside Counterparty’s control), and if Dealer would owe any amount to
Counterparty pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement or any Cancellation Amount pursuant to Article 12 of the Equity Definitions
(any such amount, a “Payment Obligation”), then Dealer shall satisfy the Payment Obligation by the Share Termination
Alternative (as defined below), unless (a) Counterparty gives irrevocable telephonic notice to Dealer, confirmed in writing
within one Scheduled Valid Day, no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Merger Date, Tender Offer Date, Announcement
Date (in the case of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), Early Termination Date or date of cancellation, as applicable,
of its election that the Share Termination Alternative shall not apply and (b) Counterparty remakes the representation set forth
in Section ‎8(f) as of the date of such election, in which case the provisions of Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity
Definitions, or the provisions of Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, as the case may be, shall apply.


 





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







  


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



 


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



 




    	 	25	 



     


    

  


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



 


		Failure to Deliver:	Applicable



 


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



 


(p)          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, at its election, either (i) in order to allow Dealer
to sell the Hedge Shares in a registered offering, make available to Dealer an effective registration statement under the Securities
Act and enter into an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Dealer, substantially similar to underwriting
agreements customary for registered secondary offerings of a substantially similar size; 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 of a substantially similar size, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Dealer, including customary
representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to Dealer, due diligence
rights (for Dealer or any designated buyer of the Hedge Shares from Dealer), opinions and certificates and such other documentation
as is customary for private placements agreements, all reasonably acceptable to Dealer (in which case, the Calculation Agent shall
make any adjustments to the terms of the Transaction that are necessary, in its reasonable judgment, to compensate Dealer for any
discount from the public market price of the Shares incurred on the sale of Hedge Shares in a private placement), or (iii) purchase
the Hedge Shares from Dealer at the Relevant Price on such Exchange Business Days, and in the amounts, requested by Dealer. For
the avoidance of doubt, unless Counterparty elects to repurchase the Hedge Shares pursuant to clause (iii) of this Section ‎9(p),
nothing in this Confirmation shall be interpreted as requiring Counterparty to repurchase the Hedge Shares or otherwise pay any
amount of cash to Dealer pursuant to this Section ‎9(p) and under no circumstances shall Counterparty be required to repurchase
the Hedge Shares or otherwise pay any amount of cash to Dealer pursuant to this Section ‎9(p).


 




    	 	26	 



     


    

 


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


 


(i)          promptly
following the public announcement of the results of any election by the holders of Shares with respect to the consideration due
upon consummation of any Merger Event, Counterparty shall give Dealer written notice of (x) the weighted average of the types and
amounts of consideration that holders of Shares have elected to receive upon consummation of such Merger Event or (y) if no holders
of Shares affirmatively make such election, the types and amounts of consideration actually received by holders of Shares (the
date of such notification, the “Consideration Notification Date”); provided that in no event shall the
Consideration Notification Date be later than the date on which such Merger Event is consummated; and


 


(ii)         promptly
following any adjustment to the Convertible Notes in connection with any Potential Adjustment Event, Merger Event or Tender Offer,
Counterparty shall give Dealer written notice of the details of such adjustment.


 


(r)          Tax
Disclosure. Effective from the date of commencement of discussions concerning the Transaction, Counterparty and each of
its employees, representatives, or other agents may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment
and tax structure of the Transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided
to Counterparty relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.


 


(s)          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 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 that are materially different from those in existence as of the Trade Date
or (ii) to enable Dealer to effect purchases of Shares in connection with its commercially reasonable hedging, hedge unwind or
settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if Dealer were Counterparty or an affiliated purchaser of Counterparty, be
in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable
to Dealer; provided that no such Valid Day or other date of valuation, payment or delivery may be postponed or added more
than 50 Valid Days after the original Valid Day or other date of valuation, payment or delivery, as the case may be.


 


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


 


(u)          Securities
Contract; Swap Agreement. The parties hereto intend for (i) the Transaction to be a “securities contract” and
a “swap agreement” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code, and the parties hereto to be entitled to the protections afforded
by, among other Sections, Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 546(e), 546(g), 555 and 560 of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) a party’s
right to liquidate the Transaction and to exercise any other remedies upon the occurrence of any Event of Default 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.


 




    	 	27	 



     


    

 


(v)         Wall
Street Transparency and Accountability Act. In connection with Section 739 of the Wall Street Transparency and Accountability
Act of 2010 (“WSTAA”), the parties hereby agree that neither the enactment of WSTAA or any regulation under
the WSTAA, nor any requirement under WSTAA or an amendment made by WSTAA, shall limit or otherwise impair either party’s
otherwise applicable rights to terminate, renegotiate, modify, amend or supplement this Confirmation or the Agreement, as applicable,
arising from a termination event, force majeure, illegality, increased costs, regulatory change or similar event under this Confirmation,
the Equity Definitions incorporated herein, or the Agreement (including, but not limited to, rights arising from Change in Law,
Hedging Disruption, an Excess Ownership Position, or Illegality (as defined in the Agreement)).


 


(w)          Agreements
and Acknowledgements Regarding Hedging. Counterparty understands, acknowledges and agrees that: (A) at any time on and
prior to the Expiration Date, Dealer and its affiliates may buy or sell Shares or other securities or buy or sell options or futures
contracts or enter into swaps or other derivative securities in order to adjust its hedge position with respect to the Transaction;
(B) Dealer and its affiliates also may be active in the market for Shares other than in connection with hedging activities in relation
to the Transaction; (C) Dealer shall make its own determination as to whether, when or in what manner any hedging or market activities
in securities of Issuer shall be conducted and shall do so in a manner that it deems appropriate to hedge its price and market
risk with respect to the Relevant Prices; and (D) any market activities of Dealer and its affiliates with respect to Shares may
affect the market price and volatility of Shares, as well as the Relevant Prices, each in a manner that may be adverse to Counterparty.


 


(x)          Early
Unwind. In the event the sale of the “Initial Securities” (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement) is not
consummated with the Underwriter for any reason, or Counterparty fails to deliver to Dealer 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 Dealer and Counterparty under the Transaction shall be cancelled and terminated
and (ii) each party shall be released and discharged by the other party from and agrees not to make any claim against the other
party with respect to any obligations or liabilities of the other party arising out of and to be performed in connection with the
Transaction either prior to or after the Early Unwind Date. Each of Dealer and Counterparty represents and acknowledges to the
other that, upon an Early Unwind, all obligations with respect to the Transaction shall be deemed fully and finally discharged.


 


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


 


(z)          Severability;
Illegality. If compliance by either party with any provision of the Transaction would be unenforceable or illegal, (a) the
parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such unenforceability or illegality in a manner that preserves the economic benefits
of the transactions contemplated hereby and (b) the other provisions of the Transaction shall not be invalidated, but shall
remain in full force and effect.


 


(aa)         Waiver
of Jury Trial. EACH OF COUNTERPARTY AND Dealer
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES (ON ITS OWN BEHALF AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ON BEHALF OF ITS STOCKHOLDERS) ALL
RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF
OR RELATING TO THE TRANSACTION OR THE ACTIONS OF DEALER OR ITS AFFILIATES IN THE NEGOTIATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.

(bb)         Governing
Law; Jurisdiction. THIS CONFIRMATION AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS CONFIRMATION
SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF
THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE UNITED STATES COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK IN CONNECTION WITH ALL MATTERS
RELATING HERETO AND WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE IN, AND ANY CLAIM OF INCONVENIENT FORUM WITH RESPECT TO, THESE COURTS.


 


(cc)         Other
Adjustments Pursuant to the Equity Definitions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, solely for
the purpose of adjusting the Cap Price, the terms “Potential Adjustment Event,” “Merger Event,” and “Tender
Offer” shall each have the meanings assigned to such term in the Equity Definitions (in the case of a Potential Adjustment
Event, as amended by Section ‎9(m)(i), and in the case of a Merger Event or Tender Offer, as amended by the provisions opposite
the caption “Announcement Event” in Section ‎3), and upon the occurrence of a Merger Date, the occurrence of a
Tender Offer Date, or declaration by Counterparty of the terms of any Potential Adjustment Event, respectively, as such terms are
defined in the Equity Definitions, the Calculation Agent may, in its commercially reasonable discretion, adjust the Cap Price to
preserve the fair value of the Options to Dealer; provided that in no event shall the Cap Price be less than the Strike
Price.


 


(dd)         Standard
for Adjustments. For the avoidance of doubt, whenever the Calculation Agent or Determining Party is called upon to make
an adjustment pursuant to the terms of this Confirmation or the Equity Definitions to take into account the effect of an event,
the Calculation Agent or Determining Party shall make such adjustment in conformity with the provisions hereof in a commercially
reasonable manner by reference to the effect of such event on the Hedging Party, assuming that the Hedging Party maintains a commercially
reasonable hedge position.


 


(ee)         Withholding
Tax imposed on payments to non-US counterparties. “Tax” as used in Part 2(a) (Payer Tax Representation) and
“Indemnifiable Tax” as defined in Section 14 shall not include (i) 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”) and
any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of
the Code, and any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered
into in connection with the implementation of such Sections (“FATCA Withholding Tax”) or (ii) any U.S. federal
withholding Tax imposed under Section 871(m) of the Code (or the U.S. Treasury Regulations or other guidance issued thereunder).
For the avoidance of doubt, the FATCA Withholding Tax is a Tax the deduction or withholding of which is required by applicable
law for purposes of Section 2(d).


 


(ff)         Payee
Representation. For purposes of Section 3(f) of this Agreement, Counterparty makes the following representation to Dealer:


 


Counterparty is a
corporation established under the laws of the State of Delaware and is a “United States person” (as that term is defined
in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code).
