	Re:	Base Warrants (Reference No. SDB4165059085) 

 The purpose of this letter agreement (this “Confirmation”) is to confirm the terms and conditions of the Warrants issued by NuVasive, Inc. (“Company”) to Goldman,
Sachs & Co. (“Bank”) on 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 this 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. The Transaction shall be a Warrant Transaction, which shall be considered a Share Option Transaction within the
meaning set forth in, and for purposes of, the Equity Definitions. 
 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 Bank and Company
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 Bank and
Company had executed an agreement in such form (but without any Schedule except for the election of the laws of the State of New York as the governing law) on the Trade Date. In the event of any inconsistency between provisions of that 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. For the avoidance of doubt, the Transaction shall not constitute a “Transaction” as defined in any ISDA Master Agreement currently existing or entered into from time to time between Bank and Company.

it.

		  	 (i)     references to “Physical Settlement” in Section 7.1 of the Equity Definitions shall
be replaced with references to “Net Share Settlement”;

		
		  	 (ii)    Company may elect Cash Settlement only if, on or prior to the Settlement Method Election Date, (x)
Company delivers written notice to Bank stating that Company has elected that Cash Settlement apply and specifying the Expiration Dates to which such election applies and the percentage of Company’s settlement obligations, which percentage
shall be greater than 0% and less than or equal to 100%, that shall be settled in cash (the “Cash Percentage”), and (y) Bank delivers written consent to such election by Company by the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately
following the date on which such notice is delivered by Company, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed;

		
		  	 (iii)  Company may elect Cash Settlement only if Company represents and warrants to Bank in writing that on the date
of such election that (A) Company is not in possession of any material non-public information regarding Company or its securities, (B) Company is electing Cash Settlement in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade compliance with the
federal securities laws, and (C) the assets of Company at their fair valuation exceed the liabilities of Company (including contingent liabilities), the capital of Company is adequate to conduct the business of Company, and Company has the ability

 4 









			
		
		  	Notwithstanding the foregoing, in refusing to grant its consent with respect to Company’s Cash Settlement election, in addition to other reasons, Bank may refuse such grant
if Bank notifies Company that, in the reasonable judgment of Bank, the election of Cash Settlement or any purchases of Shares that Bank (or its affiliates) might make in connection therewith, based upon the advice of counsel, would raise material
risks under applicable securities laws.
		
	 Electing Party:
	  	Company
		
	 Settlement Method Election Date:
	  	The third Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the First Expiration Date.
		
	 Default Settlement Method:
	  	Net Share Settlement
		
	 Cash Percentage:
	  	0%; provided, however, that if Company (i) validly delivers notice of Cash Settlement hereunder and (ii) in such notice validly elects a Cash Percentage greater
than 0% and less than or equal to 100%, the Cash Percentage shall equal to the percentage specified as such in such notice.
		
	 Net Share Settlement:
	  	On the relevant Settlement Date, Company shall deliver to Bank the Share Delivery Quantity of Underlying Shares for such Settlement Date to the account specified hereto free of
payment through the Clearance System or in such other manner as the parties may agree.
		
	 Share Delivery Quantity:
	  	For any Settlement Date, a number of Underlying Shares, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the product of (i) one minus the Cash Percentage, expressed as a
fraction, and (ii) the Net Share Settlement Amount for such Settlement Date divided by the Settlement Price on the Valuation Date in respect of such Settlement Date, rounded down to the nearest whole number (for any Settlement Date, the
fraction of an Underlying Share eliminated by such rounding, the “Share Fraction” for such Settlement Date).
		
	 Fractional Share Amount:
	  	An amount of cash in USD equal to the product of (i) the Share Fraction for such Settlement Date and (ii) the Settlement Price on the Valuation Date for such Settlement
Date.

Percentage and (y) the Net Share Settlement Amount for such Settlement Date and (B) the Fractional Share Amount, if any, for such Settlement Date and (ii) deliver to Bank a number of Underlying Shares equal to the Share Delivery Quantity for such
Settlement Date to the account specified hereto free of payment through the Clearance System or in such other manner as the parties may agree. The provisions opposite Net Share Settlement above shall apply to any Underlying Shares delivered pursuant
to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence.


  
 5 









			
		
	 Settlement Price:
	  	For any Valuation Date, the product of the Conversion Rate (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) and the per Share volume-weighted average price as displayed under the
heading “Bloomberg VWAP” on Bloomberg page NUVA.UQ <equity> AQR (or any successor thereto) in respect of the period from the scheduled opening time of the Exchange to the Scheduled Closing Time on such Valuation Date (or if such
volume-weighted average price is unavailable or is, in the Calculation Agent’s reasonable discretion, erroneous, the market value of one Share on such Valuation Date, as determined by the Calculation Agent using a volume-weighted methodology).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) any Expiration Date is a Disrupted Day and (ii) the Calculation Agent determines that such Expiration Date shall be an Expiration Date for fewer than the Daily Number of Warrants, as described above, then the
Settlement Price for the relevant Valuation Date shall be the product of the Conversion Rate (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) and the volume-weighted average price per Share on such Valuation Date on the Exchange, as determined by the
Calculation Agent based on such sources as it deems appropriate using a volume-weighted methodology, for the portion of such Valuation Date for which the Calculation Agent determines there is no Market Disruption Event.
		
	 Settlement Date(s):
	  	As determined in reference to Section 9.4 of the Equity Definitions, subject to Section 9(k)(i) hereof.
		
	Other Applicable Provisions:	  	The provisions of Sections 9.9, 9.11, 9.12 and 10.5 of the Equity Definitions will be applicable, as if Physical Settlement were applicable, except that (i) Section 9.9 of the
Equity Definitions shall be amended by replacing the word “party” in the second line thereof with the word “Seller” and deleting the remainder of the provision and (ii) Section 10.5 shall be amended by replacing the word
“party” in the third line thereof with the word “Buyer” and deleting the remainder of the provision.
		
	Representation and Agreement:	  	Notwithstanding Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions and subject to Sections 9(k) and 9(m) of this Confirmation, the parties acknowledge that any Underlying Shares delivered to
Bank may be, upon delivery, subject to restrictions and limitations arising from Company’s status as issuer of the Underlying Shares under applicable securities laws.
		
	3. Additional Terms applicable to the Transaction:	  	
		
	 Adjustments applicable to the Warrants:
	  	
		
	 Method of Adjustment:
	  	Calculation Agent Adjustment. For the avoidance of doubt, in making any adjustments under the Equity Definitions, the Calculation Agent may make adjustments, if any, to any one
or more of the Strike Price, the Number of Warrants, the Daily Number of Warrants and the Warrant Entitlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any dividends or distributions on the Shares or the Underlying Shares, whether or not extraordinary, shall
be governed by Section 9(f) of this Confirmation in lieu of Article 10 or Section 11.2(c) of the Equity Definitions.

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

	 Share-for-Other:
	  	Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment
		
	 Share-for-Combined:

	 Agent Adjustment:
	  	If, in respect of any Merger Event to which Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment applies, the adjustments to be made in accordance with Section 12.2(e)(i) of the Equity
Definitions would result in Issuer being different from the issuer of the Shares or the Underlying Shares, then with respect to such Merger Event, as a condition precedent to the adjustments contemplated in Section 12.2(e)(i) of the Equity
Definitions, Issuer and the issuer of the Shares or the Underlying Shares shall, prior to the Merger Date, have entered into such documentation containing representations, warranties and agreements relating to securities law and other issues as
requested by Bank that Bank has determined, in its commercially reasonable discretion, to be


  
 7 









			
		
		  	reasonably necessary or appropriate to allow Bank to continue as a party to the Transaction, as adjusted under Section 12.2(e)(i) of the Equity Definitions, and to preserve its
hedging or hedge unwind activities in connection with the Transaction in a manner compliant with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Bank, and if such conditions are not
met or if the Calculation Agent determines that no adjustment that it could make under Section 12.2(e)(i) of the Equity Definitions will produce a commercially reasonable result, then the consequences set forth in Section 12.2(e)(ii) of the Equity
Definitions shall apply.
		
	 Reference Markets:
	  	For the avoidance of doubt, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions, any adjustment effected by the Calculation Agent pursuant to Section 12.2(e) and/or
Section 12.3(d) of the Equity Definitions may be determined by reference to the adjustment(s) made in respect of Merger Events or Tender Offers, as the case may be, in the convertible bond market.
		
	 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 (w) adding the words “(including, for the avoidance of doubt and without

Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and any similar law or regulation, and the consequences specified in Section 12.9(b)(i) of the Equity Definitions shall apply to any Change in Law arising

 8. Representations, Warranties and Agreements of Company and Bank 
  

	 	(a)	The representations and warranties of Company set forth in Section 1(a) of the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) dated as of
June 22, 2011 among Company, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Goldman, Sachs & Co., as Representatives of the Underwriters (the “Underwriters”), are true and correct and are hereby deemed
to be repeated to Bank as if set forth herein. Company hereby further represents and warrants to Bank that on the Trade Date and the Premium Payment Date: 

  


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

  

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

  

	 	(iii)	No consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or filing with, any governmental agency or body or any court is required by Company in connection with the execution,
delivery or performance by Company of this Confirmation, except such as have been obtained or made and such as may be required under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or state securities laws.


  

	 	(iv)	 In the event that the stockholder approvals described in Section 9(x) are received, the Underlying Shares initially issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants by the net share settlement method (the “Warrant Shares”), and the Shares initially issuable upon conversion of the Warrant Shares (the “Conversion Shares”), will have been reserved for issuance by all
required corporate action of Company. The Warrant Shares and the 



  
 11

	 	(vi)	Company is an “eligible contract participant” (as such term is defined in Section 1a(17) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended).


  

	 	(vii)	During the period starting on the first Expiration Date and ending on the last Expiration Date (the “Settlement Period”), neither Company nor any
“affiliate” or “affiliated purchaser” (each as defined in Rule 10b-18 (“Rule 10b-18”) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) shall directly or indirectly
(including, without limitation, by means of any cash-settled or other derivative instrument) purchase, offer to purchase, place any bid or limit order that would effect a purchase of, or commence any tender offer relating to, any Shares (or an
equivalent interest, including a unit of beneficial interest in a trust or limited partnership or a depository share) or any security convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Shares, except through Bank. 


 

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

 9. Other
Provisions: 
  

	 	(a)	Opinions. Company shall deliver an opinion of counsel, dated as of the Trade Date, to Bank with respect to the matters set forth in Sections 8(a)(i)
through (iv) of this Confirmation; provided that, with respect to “any agreement or instrument” referred to in Section 8(a)(ii), such opinion shall only refer to agreements and instruments filed as exhibits to
Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, as updated by any exhibits to Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on January 6, 2011, January 11, 2011, January 19,
2011, February 3, 2011, February 23, 2011, March 9, 2011, May 5, 2011 and May 31, 2011. 

  

	 	(b)	 Repurchase Notices. Company shall, on any day on which Company effects any repurchase of Shares, promptly give Bank a written notice of
such repurchase (a “Repurchase Notice”) on such day if following such repurchase, the quotient of (x) the sum of (a) the product of the Number of Warrants, the Warrant Entitlement and the Conversion Rate (as defined in the
Certificate of Designations) and (b) the product of the “Number of Warrants” and the “Warrant Entitlement” (each as defined in the letter agreement between Company and Bank dated as of March 3, 2008, as amended by the
letter agreement between Company and Bank dated as of March 11, 2008), divided by (y) the number of Company’s outstanding Shares (such quotient expressed as a percentage, the “Warrant Equity Percentage”) would
be (i) greater than 7.5% or (ii) 0.5% greater than the Warrant Equity Percentage included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice. Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Bank and its affiliates and their respective officers,
directors, employees, affiliates, advisors, agents and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all losses (including losses relating to Bank’s




  
 13 










	 	 
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 this Transaction), claims, damages, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), joint or several, which an Indemnified Person
actually may become subject to, as a result of Company’s failure to provide Bank with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this paragraph, and to reimburse, within 30 days, upon written request, each of such Indemnified
Persons for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing for, providing testimony or other evidence in connection with or defending any of the foregoing. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any
governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against the Indemnified Person, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Company in writing, and Company, upon request of the Indemnified Person, shall
retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others Company may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. Company
shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, Company agrees to indemnify any Indemnified Person from and against
any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person
is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of
such proceeding on terms reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person. If the indemnification provided for in this paragraph is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities
referred to therein, then Company under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities.
The remedies provided for in this paragraph are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this
paragraph shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of the Transaction. 


  

	 	(c)	Regulation M. Company shall not, during the period starting on the first Expiration Date and ending on second Scheduled Trading Day immediately following
the last Expiration Date, engaged in a distribution, as such term is used in Regulation M under the Exchange Act, of any securities of Company, other than a distribution meeting the requirements of the exception set forth in Rules 101(b)(10) and
102(b)(7) of Regulation M. 

  

	 	(d)	No Manipulation. Company is not entering into this Transaction (i) on the basis of, and it is not aware of, any material non-public information with
respect to itself, the Underlying Shares or the Shares (ii) in anticipation of, in connection with, or to facilitate, a distribution of its securities, a self tender offer or a third-party tender offer or (iii) to create actual or apparent
trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or otherwise in
violation of the Exchange Act. 

  

	 	(e)	 Transfer or Assignment. Company may not transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Transaction without the prior written
consent of Bank. Bank may, without Company’s consent, transfer or assign all or any part of its rights or obligations under this Transaction to any third party (the “Transferee”). If after Bank’s commercially reasonable
efforts, Bank is unable to effect such a transfer or assignment on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to Bank and within a time period reasonably acceptable to Bank, or the Transfer Conditions set forth below are not satisfied following a proposed
transfer or assignment, of a sufficient number of Warrants to reduce (i) Bank Group’s “beneficial ownership” (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder) to 8.0% of Company’s
outstanding Shares or less or (ii) the Warrant Equity Percentage to 14.5% or less, Bank may designate any Exchange Business Day as an Early 



  
 14 










	 	 
Termination Date with respect to a portion (the “Terminated Portion”) of this Transaction, such that (i) Bank Group’s “beneficial ownership” following such
partial termination will be equal to or less than 8.0% or (ii) the Warrant Equity Percentage following such partial termination will be equal to or less than 14.5%. In the event that Bank so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to
a portion of this Transaction, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (i) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to this Transaction and a Number of
Warrants equal to the Terminated Portion, (ii) Company shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (iii) such Transaction shall be the only Terminated Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the
provisions of paragraph 9(j) shall apply to any amount that is payable by Company to Bank pursuant to this sentence). Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary (including the Transfer Conditions below) requiring or
allowing Bank to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to or from Company, Bank may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities and otherwise to perform
Bank’s obligations in respect of this Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Bank shall be discharged of its obligations to Company to the extent of any such performance. “Bank Group” means Bank or any
affiliate of Bank subject to aggregation with Bank under such Section 13 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder and all persons who may form a “group” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act) with
Bank. 


 Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the right to designate an affiliate as set forth above,
Bank may not transfer or assign under this Section 9(e) unless the following conditions are satisfied (the “Transfer Conditions”): 
 (1) the Transferee agrees in writing with Bank to be bound by the terms of this Confirmation with respect to the transferred obligations; 

(2) as of the date of such transfer, and giving effect thereto, Company will not be required to withhold or deduct on account of Tax from
any payments under the Agreement or will be required to gross up for such Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement; 

(3) as of the date of such transfer, and giving effect thereto, Bank or the Transferee will not be required to gross up for such Tax
under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement; 
 (4) no Event of Default where Bank or the Transferee is the Defaulting Party
or Termination Event where Bank or the Transferee is the sole Affected Party will occur as a result of such transfer; and 
 (5)
as of the date of such transfer, and giving effect thereto, the transfer will not result in a Change in Law. 
  

	 	(f)	Dividends. If at any time during the period from but excluding the Trade Date, to and including the Expiration Date, an ex-dividend date for a dividend or
distribution occurs with respect to the Shares or the Underlying Shares, then the Calculation Agent will adjust any of the Strike Price, Warrant Entitlement, Number of Warrants and/or Daily Number of Warrants to preserve the fair value of the
Warrants to Bank after taking into account such dividend or distribution or lack thereof. 

  

	 	(g)	[Reserved.]

 (ii) Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Confirmation, upon the occurrence of one of the following events, with respect to this Transaction, (1) Bank shall have the right to designate such event an Additional Termination Event and designate an Early Termination

(A) Any person files a Schedule TO, or any schedule, form or report under the Exchange Act, disclosing that such person has acquired

all shares of Company’s capital stock entitled to vote generally in elections of directors, other than an acquisition by Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of Company’s employee benefit plans. For purposes of this provision,


  
 16 









 
whether a person is a “beneficial owner” will be determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, and “person” includes any syndicate or group
that would be deemed to be a “person” under Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act.

or consolidates with or into any other person, other than one of its subsidiaries, another person merges with or into Company, or Company conveys, sells, transfers or leases all or substantially all of its assets to another person or

liquidated or dissolved or holders of Shares approve any plan or proposal for Company’s liquidation or dissolution. 
 (D)
There is a default by Company or any significant subsidiary in the payment at final maturity or upon acceleration of indebtedness for money borrowed by Company or any significant subsidiary of Company in excess of $30 million in the aggregate,
whether such debt now exists or shall hereafter be created, and such indebtedness is not discharged, or such acceleration is not cured or rescinded, within a period of 30 days after the occurrence of such debt becoming or being declared due and
payable or the failure to pay, as the case may be. For purposes of this provision, “significant subsidiary” means, in respect of any person, a Subsidiary of such person that would constitute a “significant subsidiary”, as
such term is defined in Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC as in effect on the date hereof. 
 (E) Shares, or
shares of any other capital stock or American Depositary Receipts in respect of shares of capital stock into which Company’s notes are convertible, are not listed for trading on any of The New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Market or
The NASDAQ Global Select Market (or any of their respective successors). 
 (F) Bank, despite using commercially reasonable

Notwithstanding the forgoing, any merger or consolidation under clause (A) or any event specified under clause (B) above will
not constitute an Additional Termination Event if at least at least 90% of the consideration paid for the Shares (excluding cash payments for fractional Shares and cash payments made pursuant to dissenters’ appraisal rights) in connection with
such event consists of shares of common stock traded on any of The New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Market or The NASDAQ Global Select Market (or any of their respective successors) (or will be so traded or quoted immediately following the
completion of the merger or consolidation or other transaction). 

  
 17 










	 	(i)	No Collateral or Setoff. Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement, the Confirmation or the Equity Definitions or any other agreement between the
parties to the contrary, the obligations of Company hereunder are not secured by any collateral. Obligations under this Transaction shall not be set off by Company against any other obligations of the parties, whether arising under the Agreement,
this Confirmation or the Equity Definitions, under any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise. Any provision in the Agreement with respect to the satisfaction of Company’s payment obligations to the extent
of Bank’s payment obligations to Company in the same currency and in the same Transaction (including, without limitation Section 2(c) thereof) shall not apply to Company and, for the avoidance of doubt, Company shall fully satisfy such
payment obligations notwithstanding any payment obligation to Company by Bank in the same currency and in the same Transaction. In calculating any amounts under Section 6(e) of the Agreement or Section 12 of the Equity Definitions,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement or the Equity Definitions, (1) separate amounts shall be calculated as set forth in Section 6(e) of the Agreement or Section 12 of the Equity Definitions, as applicable, with
respect to this Transaction, and (2) such separate amounts shall be payable pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement or Section 12 of the Equity Definitions. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary
provided in this Section 9(i), in the event of bankruptcy or liquidation of Company neither party shall have the right to set off any obligation that it may have to the other party under this Transaction against any obligation such other party
may have to it, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation, the Equity Definitions or any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise. 


 

	 	(j)	Alternative Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events. If, in respect of this Transaction, an amount is payable by
Company to Bank, (i) pursuant to Section 12.2, 12.3, 12.6, 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions (except in the event of an Insolvency, Nationalization, Tender Offer or Merger Event in which the consideration or proceeds to
be paid to holders of Shares consists solely of cash) or (ii) pursuant to Sections 6(d) and 6(e) of the Agreement (except in the event of an Event of Default in which Company is the Defaulting Party or a Termination Event in which Company is
the Affected Party, other than an Event of Default of the type described in (x) Section 5(a)(iii), (v), (vi), (vii) or (viii) of the Agreement or (y) a Termination Event of the type described in Section 5(b) of the
Agreement, in the case of both (x) and (y), resulting from an event or events outside Company’s control) (a “Payment Obligation”), Company shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to satisfy any such Payment
Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative (as defined below) by giving irrevocable telephonic notice to Bank, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day, no later than 12:00 p.m. New York local time on the Merger Date, Tender Offer
Date, Announcement Date (in the case of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), Early Termination Date or, in the case of an Additional Disruption Event, date of cancellation, as applicable; provided that if Company does not validly
elect to satisfy its Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative and Company has received Shareholder Approval (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) and shall have notified Bank of such receipt, Bank shall have the right to
require Company to satisfy its Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company’s or Bank’s right to elect satisfaction of a Payment Obligation in the Share Termination Alternative as set
forth in this clause shall only apply to Transactions under this Confirmation. 

  

			
	 Share Termination Alternative:
	  	If applicable, Company shall deliver to Bank the Share Termination Delivery Property on the date (the “Share Termination Payment Date”) on which the Payment
Obligation would otherwise be due pursuant to Section 12.2, 12.3, 12.6, 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions and Sections 6(d) and 6(e) of the Agreement, as applicable, subject to paragraph (k)(i) below, in satisfaction, subject to
paragraph (k)(ii) below, of the Payment Obligation in the manner reasonably requested by Bank free of payment.



  
 18 









 
			
		
	 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 amount of Share Termination Delivery Property by replacing any fractional portion of a security therein with an amount of cash equal to the value of such fractional security based on the values used to
calculate the Share Termination Unit Price.
		
	 Share Termination Unit Price:
	  	The value to Bank of property contained in one Share Termination Delivery Unit on the date such Share Termination Delivery Units are to be delivered as Share Termination Delivery
Property, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its discretion by commercially reasonable means. The Calculation Agent shall notify Company of such Share Termination Unit Price at the time of notification of the Payment Obligation. In the case
of a Private Placement of Share Termination Delivery Units that are Restricted Shares (as defined below), as set forth in paragraph (k)(i) below, the Share Termination Unit Price shall be determined by the discounted price applicable to such Share
Termination Delivery Units. In the case of a Registration Settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units that are Restricted Shares (as defined below) as set forth in paragraph (k)(ii) below, the Share Termination Unit Price shall be the Settlement
Price on the Merger Date, the Tender Offer Date, the Announcement Date (in the case of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), the date of cancellation or the Early Termination Date, as applicable.
		
	 Share Termination Delivery Unit:
	  	In the case of a Termination Event, Event of Default, Additional Disruption Event or Delisting, one Underlying Share or, in the case of Nationalization, Insolvency, Tender Offer
or Merger Event, a unit consisting of the number or amount of each type of property received by a holder of one Underlying Share (or, if no Underlying Shares are then outstanding, the number or amount of each type of property as would have been
received by a holder of one Underlying Share had an Underlying Share been outstanding prior to the relevant transaction or event), without consideration of any requirement to pay cash or other consideration in lieu of fractional amounts of any
securities, in such Nationalization, Insolvency, Tender Offer or Merger Event. If such Nationalization, Insolvency, Tender Offer or Merger Event involves a choice of consideration to be received by holders, such holder shall be deemed to have
elected to receive the maximum possible amount of cash.



  
 19 









 
			
		
	 Failure to Deliver:
	  	Inapplicable
		
	 Other Applicable Provisions:
	  	If Share Termination Alternative is applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.9, 9.11, 9.12 and 10.5 (as modified above) of the Equity Definitions will be applicable as if
Physical Settlement were applicable, except that (i) Section 9.9 of the Equity Definitions shall be amended by replacing the word “party” in the second line thereof with the word “Seller” and deleting the remainder of the
provision and (ii) Section 10.5 shall be amended by replacing the word “party” in the third line thereof with the word “Buyer” and deleting the remainder of the provision.


  

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

  

	 	(i)	 If Company elects to settle the Transaction pursuant to this clause (i) (a “Private Placement Settlement”), then delivery of
Restricted Shares by Company shall be effected in customary private placement procedures with respect to such Restricted Shares of similar size, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Bank, in its good faith and commercially reasonable
discretion; provided that Company may not elect a Private Placement Settlement if, on the date of its election, it has taken, or caused to be taken, any action that would make unavailable either the exemption pursuant to Section 4(2) of
the Securities Act for the sale by Company to Bank (or any affiliate designated by Bank) of the Restricted Shares or the exemption pursuant to Section 4(1) or Section 4(3) of the Securities Act for resales of the Restricted Shares by Bank
(or any such affiliate of Bank). The Private Placement Settlement of such Restricted Shares shall include customary representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to Bank, due diligence rights
(for Bank or any designated buyer of the Restricted Shares by Bank), opinions and certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for private placement agreements of its size, all




  
 20 










	 	 
reasonably acceptable to Bank. In the case of a Private Placement Settlement, Bank shall, in a commercially reasonable manner, determine the appropriate discount to the Share Termination Unit
Price (in the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to paragraph (j) above) or any Settlement Price (in the case of settlement of Underlying Shares pursuant to Section 2 above) applicable to such Restricted Shares
in a commercially reasonable manner and appropriately adjust the number of such Restricted Shares to be delivered to Bank hereunder; provided that in no event shall such number be greater than two times the Number of Shares (the
“Maximum Amount”). Notwithstanding the Agreement or this Confirmation, the date of delivery of such Restricted Shares shall be the Exchange Business Day following notice by Bank to Company, of such applicable discount and the number
of Restricted Shares to be delivered pursuant to this clause (i). For the avoidance of doubt, delivery of Restricted Shares shall be due as set forth in the previous sentence and not be due on the Share Termination Payment Date (in the case of
settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to paragraph (j) above) or on the Settlement Date for such Restricted Shares (in the case of settlement in Underlying Shares pursuant to Section 2 above).



 In the event Company shall not have delivered the full number of Restricted Shares otherwise applicable as
a result of the proviso above relating to the Maximum Amount (such deficit, the “Deficit Restricted Shares”), Company shall be continually obligated to deliver, from time to time until the full number of Deficit Restricted Shares
have been delivered pursuant to this paragraph, Restricted Shares when, and to the extent, that (i) Underlying Shares are repurchased, acquired or otherwise received by Company or any of its subsidiaries after the Trade Date (whether or not in
exchange for cash, fair value or any other consideration), (ii) authorized and unissued Underlying Shares reserved for issuance in respect of other transactions prior to such date which prior to the relevant date become no longer so reserved
and (iii) Company additionally authorizes any unissued Underlying Shares that are not reserved for other transactions. Company shall immediately notify Bank of the occurrence of any of the foregoing events (including the number of Underlying
Shares subject to clause (i), (ii) or (iii) and the corresponding number of Restricted Shares to be delivered) and promptly deliver such Restricted Shares thereafter. 

 

	 	(ii)	 If Company elects to settle the Transaction pursuant to this clause (ii) (a “Registration Settlement”), then Company shall
promptly (but in any event no later than the beginning of the Resale Period) file and use its good faith and reasonable best efforts to make effective under the Securities Act a registration statement or supplement or amend an outstanding
registration statement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank, to cover the resale of such Restricted Shares in accordance with customary resale registration procedures, including covenants, conditions, representations, underwriting
discounts (if applicable), commissions (if applicable), indemnities due diligence rights, opinions and certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for equity resale underwriting agreements, all reasonably acceptable to Bank. If Bank,
in its sole reasonable discretion, is not satisfied with such procedures and documentation Private Placement Settlement shall apply. If Bank is satisfied with such procedures and documentation, it shall sell the Restricted Shares pursuant to such
registration statement during a period (the “Resale Period”) commencing on the Exchange Business Day following delivery of such Restricted Shares (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be (x) the Share Termination Payment
Date in case of settlement in Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to paragraph (j) above or (y) the Settlement Date in respect of the final Expiration Date for all Daily Number of Warrants) and ending on the earliest of (i) the
Exchange Business Day on which Bank completes the sale of all Restricted Shares or, in the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units, a sufficient number of Restricted Shares so that the realized net proceeds of such sales equals or
exceeds the Payment Obligation (as defined above), (ii) the date upon which all Restricted Shares have been sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 (or similar provisions then in force) or Rule 145(d)(1) or (2) (or any similar provision
then in force) under the Securities Act and 



  
 21 










	 	 
(iii) the date upon which all Restricted Shares may be sold or transferred by a non-affiliate pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in force) or Rule 145(d)(3) (or any similar
provision then in force) under the Securities Act. If the Payment Obligation exceeds the realized net proceeds from such resale, Company shall transfer to Bank by the open of the regular trading session on the Exchange on the Exchange Trading Day
immediately following the last day of the Resale Period the amount of such excess (the “Additional Amount”) in cash or in a number of Underlying Shares (“Make-whole Shares”) in an amount that, based on the
Settlement Price on the last day of the Resale Period (as if such day was the “Valuation Date” for purposes of computing such Settlement Price), has a dollar value equal to the Additional Amount. The Resale Period shall continue to enable
the sale of the Make-whole Shares. If Company elects to pay the Additional Amount in Underlying Shares, the requirements and provisions for Registration Settlement shall apply. This provision shall be applied successively until the Additional Amount
is equal to zero. In no event shall Company deliver a number of Restricted Shares greater than the Maximum Amount. 


  

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

 If (x) Company shall fail to effectuate the Private Placement Settlement as set forth in clause (i) or (y) Company shall fail to effectuate the Registration Settlement as set forth in
clause (ii) and Company shall fail to effectuate the Private Placement Settlement following its failure to effectuate the Registration Settlement, then either the failure set forth in clause (x) or the failure set forth in clause
(y) shall constitute an Event of Default with respect to which Company shall be the Defaulting Party. 
  

	 	(l)	Limit on Beneficial Ownership. Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, Bank may not exercise any Warrant hereunder or be entitled to take delivery of
any Underlying Shares deliverable hereunder, and Automatic Exercise shall not apply with respect to any Warrant hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after such receipt of any Underlying Shares upon the exercise of such Warrant or
otherwise hereunder, the Bank Group would directly or indirectly beneficially own (as such term is defined for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) in excess of 9.5% of the outstanding Shares. Any purported delivery hereunder shall be
void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after such delivery, the Bank Group would directly or indirectly so beneficially own in excess of 9.5% of the outstanding Shares. If any delivery owed to Bank hereunder is not
made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, Company’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and Company shall make such delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than one Business Day
after, Bank gives notice to Company that, after such delivery, the Bank Group would not directly or indirectly so beneficially own in excess of 9.5% of the outstanding Shares. 


 

	 	(m)	 Share Deliveries. Company acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent the holder of this Warrant or the holder of Warrant Shares
delivered upon exercise of this Warrant is not then an affiliate and has not been an affiliate for 90 days (it being understood that Bank will not be considered an affiliate under this paragraph solely by reason of its receipt of Warrant Shares
pursuant to this Transaction or Conversion Shares pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Shares), and otherwise satisfies all holding period and other requirements of Rule 144 of the Securities Act applicable to




  
 22 










	 	 
it, any delivery of Warrant Shares, Conversion Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property hereunder at any time after 6 months from the Trade Date (or 1 year from the Trade Date if, at such
time, informational requirements of Rule 144(c) are not satisfied with respect to the Company) shall be eligible for resale under Rule 144 of the Securities Act and Company agrees to promptly remove, or cause the transfer agent for such Warrant
Shares, Conversion Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property, to remove, any legends referring to any restrictions on resale under the Securities Act from the Warrant Shares, Conversion Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property. Company
further agrees that any delivery of Warrant Shares, Conversion Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property prior to the date that is 6 months from the Trade Date (or 1 year from the Trade Date if, at such time, informational requirements of Rule
144(c) are not satisfied with respect to the Company), may be transferred by and among Bank and its affiliates and Company shall effect such transfer without any further action by Bank. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Company agrees
that any delivery of Warrant Shares, Conversion Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property shall be effected by book-entry transfer through the facilities of DTC, or any successor depositary, if at the time of delivery, such class of Warrant
Shares, Conversion Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property is in book-entry form at DTC or such successor depositary. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent the provisions of Rule 144 of the Securities Act or any
successor rule are amended, or the applicable interpretation thereof by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any court change after the Trade Date, the agreements of Company herein shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary, in the
opinion of outside counsel of Company, to comply with Rule 144 of the Securities Act, as in effect at the time of delivery of the relevant Warrant Shares, Conversion Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property. 



 

	 	(n)	Governing Law. New York law (without reference to choice of law doctrine other than Title 14 of Article 5 of the New York General Obligations Law).


  

	 	(o)	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 this Transaction. Each party (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of the other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of such a
suit, action or proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other party have been induced to enter into this Transaction, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications
provided herein. 

  

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

  

	 	(q)	Maximum Share Delivery. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Confirmation or the Agreement, in no event will Company be required to deliver more
than the Maximum Amount of Shares in the aggregate to Bank in connection with this Transaction, subject to the provisions regarding Deficit Restricted Shares. 


 

	 	(r)	Right to Extend. Bank may postpone, in whole or in part, any Expiration Date or any other date of valuation or delivery with respect to some or all of the
relevant Warrants (in which event the Calculation Agent shall make appropriate adjustments to the Daily Number of Warrants with respect to one or more Expiration Dates) if Bank determines, in its commercially reasonable judgment, that such extension
is reasonably necessary or appropriate to preserve Bank’s hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions or to enable Bank to effect purchases of Shares in connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or
settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if Bank 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
Bank. 


  
 23 










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

  

	 	(t)	Securities Contract; Swap Agreement. Each of Bank and Company agrees and acknowledges that Bank is a “financial institution,” “swap
participant” and “financial participant” within the meaning of Sections 101(22), 101(53C) and 101(22A) of the Bankruptcy Code. The parties hereto further agree and acknowledge (A) that this Confirmation is (i) a
“securities contract,” as such term is defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code, with respect to which each payment and delivery hereunder is a “settlement payment,” as such term is defined in Section 741(8) of
the Bankruptcy Code, and (ii) a “swap agreement,” as such term is defined in Section 101(53B) of the Bankruptcy Code, with respect to which each payment and delivery hereunder is a “transfer,” as such term is defined in
Section 101(54) of the Bankruptcy Code, and (B) that Bank is 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. 


 

	 	(u)	Delivery or Receipt of Cash. For the avoidance of doubt, other than receipt of the Premium by Company, nothing in this Confirmation shall be interpreted
as requiring Company to deliver or receive cash in respect of the settlement of the Transactions contemplated by this Confirmation, except in circumstances where the cash settlement thereof is within Company’s control (including, without
limitation, where Company elects to deliver or receive cash or fails timely to elect to deliver or receive Share Termination Delivery Property in respect of the settlement of such Transactions or in those circumstances in which holders of the Shares
would also receive cash). 

  

	 	(v)	Payment by Bank. In the event that (a) 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, Bank owes to Company an amount calculated under Section 6(e) of the Agreement, or (b) Bank
owes to Company, 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. 


 

	 	(w)	Early Unwind. In the event the sale of the “Initial Securities” (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement) is not consummated with the
Underwriters for any reason, or Company fails to deliver to Bank 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 Bank and Company under the Transaction shall be cancelled and terminated and (ii) each party shall be released and discharged by the other party from and agrees not to make any claim against the other party
with respect to any obligations or liabilities of the other party arising out of and to be performed in connection with the Transaction either prior to or after the Early Unwind Date; provided that Company shall purchase from Bank on the
Early Unwind Date all Shares purchased by Bank or one or more of its affiliates in connection with the Transaction at the then prevailing market price. Each of Bank and Company represents and acknowledges to the other that, subject to the proviso
included in this Section 9(w), upon an Early Unwind, all obligations with respect to the Transaction shall be deemed fully and finally discharged. 

  

	 	(x)	 Stockholder Approval. Company will use its best efforts to hold a special meeting of its stockholders as soon as practicable, but not
later than June 1, 2012 (the “Approval Deadline”), at which Company will seek to obtain the requisite stockholder approvals for (i) an amendment to Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the
number of authorized but unissued Shares to at least 31,525,169 Shares and (ii) authorization of the conversion and 



  
 24 










	 	 
settlement of the Underlying Shares in accordance with NASDAQ Stock Market Rule 5635. If Company fails to obtain such stockholder approvals by the Approval Deadline, Company will
(i) continue to seek to obtain such approvals at each subsequent annual meeting of its stockholders and (ii) hold at least one special meeting of its stockholders in each calendar year, beginning with the 2012 calendar year, at which
Company will seek to obtain such approvals, in each case, until such approvals have been obtained. If such approvals have not been obtained prior to any Settlement Date hereunder, Company will issue the relevant Underlying Shares on such Settlement
Date by book-entry transfer through the facilities of DTC.

 Annex A 

Summary Terms of the Series A Participating Preferred Stock 

The summary below describes the principal terms of the Series A Participating Preferred Stock to be issued in connection with the
Transaction evidenced by the Confirmation (the “Confirmation”) to which this Annex A is attached (the “Warrant Transaction”). The description below is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the Certificate of
Designations for the Series A Participating Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designations”), which, upon the Premium Payment Date, shall supersede such description in its entirety. Capitalized terms used in this Annex A that are
not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Confirmation. 
  

			
	Issuer	  	Company
		
	Securities	  	Initially, a number of shares of a series of the Company’s preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, designated pursuant to Article IV of the Company’s Restated
Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) as the Series A Participating Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”), which will have the rights and preferences, including the conversion,
dividend, liquidation and voting rights, described below. That number will be equal to 1/10th of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) into which the Preferred Stock is
initially convertible as described below. Each share of Preferred Stock will initially be subject to conversion as described below into 20 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”).
The number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Preferred Stock is convertible is referred to as the “Conversion Rate” and shall be subject to adjustment as set forth under “Conversion Rate Adjustments”
below.
		
	Liquidation Amount	  	$648.20 per share of Preferred Stock.
		
	Dividend Payment Dates	  	 January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year.

 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, on the same date that
the Company pays any dividend or distribution on shares of its Common Stock (irrespective of whether such date is a Dividend Payment Date as defined above), the Company will pay a corresponding dividend or distribution, on an as-converted basis, to
holders of the Preferred Stock. Any such dividends (including extraordinary cash dividends or distributions) paid on the Preferred Stock pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence are referred to as “Paid-Through
Dividends.”



  




  
 27 













			
		
	Dividend Period	  	For each share of Preferred Stock, the period commencing on, and including, the immediately preceding Dividend Payment Date for such share of Preferred Stock (or if no Dividend
Payment Date has occurred for such share of Preferred Stock, the period commencing on, and including, the date of issuance of such share of Preferred Stock), and ending on, and including, the day immediately preceding the next succeeding Dividend
Payment Date.
		
	Stockholder Approvals	  	 The Company will use its best efforts to hold a special meeting of its stockholders as soon as practicable, but not later than the
Approval Deadline set forth below, at which the Company will seek to obtain the requisite stockholder approvals for (i) an amendment to Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized but unissued shares of
its Common Stock to at least 31,525,169 shares of Common Stock and (ii) authorization of the conversion and settlement of the Preferred Stock in accordance with NASDAQ Stock Market Rule 5635. If the Company fails to obtain such stockholder approvals
by the Approval Deadline, the Company will (i) continue to seek to obtain such approvals at each subsequent annual meeting of its stockholders and (ii) hold at least one special meeting of its stockholders in each calendar year, beginning with the
2012 calendar year, at which the Company will seek to obtain such approvals, in each case, until such approvals have been obtained.
  

The stockholder approvals provided above are referred to collectively as the “Stockholder Approvals,” and the date on which the Company
obtains such approvals is referred to as the “Approval Date.”

		
	Approval Deadline	  	June 1, 2012
		
	Consequences of Stockholder Approvals	  	 Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Certificate of Designations relating to recapitalizations, reclassifications and
changes of the Common Stock, if the Company obtains the Stockholder Approvals, then:
  

•         all shares of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding on
the Approval Date will automatically convert on the first business day following the Approval Date into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at the Conversion Rate in effect on such business day; and

 

•         each share of Preferred Stock issued following the
Approval Date will automatically convert on the third business day following the date of such issuance at the Conversion Rate in effect on such third business day.
  

The date on which a share of Preferred Stock is converted as set forth above is referred to as the “Conversion
Date.”



  




  
 28 













			
	 	  	 Each share of Preferred Stock will cease to exist on the Conversion Date relating
to such share of Preferred Stock and, subject to
the requirements of Delaware
law, will resume the status of an authorized and unissued share of the
Company’s preferred stock, and all other rights of the holder of such share of
Preferred Stock will terminate, as of the close of
business on such Conversion
Date.
  
 If the Company obtains the
Stockholder Approvals after the Approval Deadline,
in addition to the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of each share of
Preferred Stock at the Conversion Rate, on the Conversion Date, the Company
will pay to the holder to whom it
delivers the shares of its Common Stock due
upon conversion cash dividends in an amount (the “Dividend Amount”) equal to
all accrued and unpaid dividends on such share of Preferred Stock (including, if
applicable as described
opposite the heading “—Dividends” below, dividends on
such dividends), whether or not declared prior to such Conversion Date, for the
then-current Dividend Period (or portion thereof) ending on such Conversion
Date and all
prior Dividend Periods, if any (other than previously declared
dividends on such share of Preferred Stock that were paid to the holder of record
of such share of Preferred Stock as of a prior date) to the extent the Company is
lawfully
permitted to pay such dividends under Delaware law. The Company
may elect to satisfy its obligation to pay the Dividend Amount through the
delivery of shares of Common Stock, in which case the Company will deliver to
such holder a number of
shares of its Common Stock equal to the quotient of (i)
the Dividend Amount, divided by (ii) the last reported sale price of the Common
Stock on the second trading day immediately preceding the Conversion Date,
rounded down to the
nearest whole share.

		
	Blocker	  	Notwithstanding any other provision of the Certificate of Designations, no holder of Preferred Stock will have the right to acquire shares of Common Stock upon conversion of any
share or shares of Preferred Stock under the Certificate of Designations or be entitled to take delivery of any shares of Common Stock deliverable thereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after such receipt of any shares of Common
Stock upon the conversion of such share of shares or otherwise thereunder, such holder would directly or indirectly beneficially own (as such term is defined for purposes of Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated
thereunder) in excess of 4.9% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Threshold Number of Shares”). Any purported delivery thereunder shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after
such


  




  
 29 













			
	 	  	delivery, such holder would directly or indirectly so beneficially own in excess
of the Threshold Number of Shares. If any delivery owed to any holder
thereunder is not
made, in whole or in part, as a result of this paragraph, the
Company’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and the
Company shall make such delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no
event later than
one business day after, such Holder gives notice to the Company
that, after such delivery, such Holder would not directly or indirectly so
beneficially own in excess of the Threshold Number of Shares.
		
	Conversion Rate Adjustments	  	 The Conversion Rate will be subject to adjustment in accordance with the Certificate of Designations for the following
transactions:
  

•         the issuance by the Company of its Common Stock as a
dividend or distribution to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock, or a subdivision or combination (including, without limitation, a reverse stock split) of its Common Stock;

 

•         the issuance by the Company to all or substantially all
holders of its Common Stock of rights, options or warrants entitling them for a period expiring 60 days or less from the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock at
less than the current market price per share of Common Stock as of the announcement date for such issuance;
  

•         the Company’s payment of a dividend or other
distribution to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock of shares of its capital stock (other than its Common Stock) or evidences of its indebtedness or its assets (excluding (x) any dividend, distribution or issuance as to which an
adjustment was effected pursuant to the first or second bullet above or the fifth or sixth bullet below and (y) “spin-offs” as to which the fourth bullet below applies);

 

•         the Company’s payment of a dividend or other
distribution to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock where such payment consists of shares of the Company’s capital stock of, or similar equity interests in, a subsidiary or other business unit of the Company (i.e., a spin-off)
that are, or, when issued, will be traded on a U.S. national securities exchange;



  




  
 30 













			
		  	 •         the Company’s payment of a
distribution consisting exclusively of cash to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock, excluding (a) any cash that is distributed as part of a distribution referred to in the third bullet above and (b) any consideration payable in
connection with a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any of its subsidiaries as to which an adjustment was effected in the sixth bullet below; and
  

•         the purchase by the Company or one or more of its
subsidiaries of the Company’s Common Stock pursuant to a tender offer or exchange offer and the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of the Company’s Common Stock validly tendered or exchanged exceeds
a specified price per share.
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, without
prejudice to the right to receive Paid-Through Dividends as set forth above, no adjustment will be made for any of the transactions described in the first five bullets above to the extent (but only to the extent) such dividend or distribution is
paid to all holders of Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis.

		
	Conversion Upon Reorganization Event	  	If, after the date of original issuance of the Preferred Stock, (1) there occurs (A) any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation or another
entity; (B) any sale, transfer, lease or conveyance to another corporation or another entity of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety; or (C) any statutory exchange of securities of the Company with another
corporation or another entity or any binding share exchange which reclassifies or changes its outstanding Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a
transaction that is subject to Conversion Rate Adjustments) (any such event in clauses (A) through (C), inclusive, a “Reorganization Event”); and (2) pursuant to such Reorganization the Common Stock is converted into or exchanged
for, or constitutes solely the right to receive, cash, securities or other property, then, immediately after the effective time of such Reorganization Event, the Company shall make provision for each outstanding share of the Preferred Stock to be
converted, out of funds legally available therefor, into the kind and amount of cash, securities or other property (collectively, “Reference Property”) receivable pursuant to such Reorganization Event by a holder (the
“Representative Holder”) of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect at such effective time, which holder (A) is not a person with which the Company consolidated or into which the Company merged or
which merged into the Company or to which such sale,


  




  
 31 













			
	 	  	transfer, lease or conveyance was made, as the case may be (any such person, a
“Constituent Person”), or an affiliate of a Constituent Person, to the extent
such
Reorganization Event provides for different treatment of Common Stock held by
affiliates of the Company and non-affiliates, and (B) failed to exercise his rights
of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of such Reference
Property
(provided that if the kind or amount of such Reference Property is not the same
for each share of Common Stock held by a Person (other than a Constituent
Person or an affiliate thereof) who has not exercised such rights of
election
(“Non-Electing Share”), then for the purposes hereunder, the kind and amount
of Reference Property in respect of each Non-Electing Share shall be deemed to
be the weighted average of the kinds and amounts of
Reference Property
receivable per share of Common Stock pursuant to such Reorganization Event in
respect of all Non-Electing Shares). On and after the effective time of a
Reorganization Event, each outstanding share of the Preferred Stock
shall cease
to be outstanding, dividends on such share shall cease to accrue, and all rights of
the holder(s) of such share shall terminate with respect to such share, other than
the right to receive the kind and amount of Reference
Property into which such
share of the Preferred Stock has been converted.
		
	Dividends—Paid-Through Dividends	  	From, and including, the date of original issuance of the Preferred Stock to, but excluding, the date on which all shares of Preferred Stock underlying the Warrant Transaction
have been issued and converted into shares of Company’s common stock, the Company’s board of directors (or a duly authorized committee thereof) may not declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution (including, but not limited to,
regular quarterly cash dividends) in respect of the Company’s Common Stock, whether payable in cash, securities or any other form of property or assets, unless the board of directors (or a duly authorized committee thereof) declares and pays to
the holders of the Preferred Stock then outstanding, at the same time (irrespective of whether or not such time is a Dividend Payment Date for the Preferred Stock) and on the same terms as holders of the Company’s Common Stock, a dividend per
share of outstanding Preferred Stock then outstanding equal to the product of (i) any dividend or distribution, as applicable, declared and paid or made in respect of each share of the Company’s Common Stock and (ii) the then-current Conversion
Rate of the Preferred Stock.
		
	Dividends—Missed-Deadline Dividends	  	For each Dividend Period for a share of Preferred Stock from, and including, the Dividend Period during which the Approval Deadline occurs, or, if later, the Dividend Period
commencing on the issuance of such share, cumulative cash dividends will be payable on each

	 	  	outstanding share of Preferred Stock, when, as and if declared by the Company’s
board of directors or any duly authorized committee thereof out of assets
legally
available therefor, in an amount equal to the product of the Conversion Rate, the
Relevant Rate and the Average Stock Price (as defined below) for such Dividend
Period. Such cumulative cash dividends will compound on each
Dividend
Payment Date from, and including, the Dividend Payment Date corresponding to
the first Dividend Period during which dividends accumulate (i.e., no dividends
will accrue on such cumulative cash dividends unless and until the first
Dividend
Payment Date following the Approval Deadline has passed without such
cumulative cash dividends having been paid on such date). “Average Stock
Price” for any Dividend Period means the average of the last reported sale
prices
of the Common Stock during the five trading day period ending on, and
including, the date that is one month immediately preceding the last day of such
Dividend Period (or, if such date is not a trading day, the
immediately
succeeding date that is a trading day). For the avoidance of doubt, no dividends
shall accrue on any share of Preferred Stock prior to the issuance of such share.
		
	Relevant Rate	  	 •         from, and including, June 1, 2012 to,
and including, September 30, 2012, 10% per annum;
  
 •         from, and including, October 1, 2012 to, and including, March 31, 2013, 12% per annum;

 

•         from, and including, April 1, 2013 to, and including,
September 30, 2013, 14% per annum; and
  
 •      thereafter, 16% per annum.

		
	Ranking	  	 The Preferred Stock, with respect to dividend rights or rights upon the Company’s liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, will
rank:
  

•         senior to the Company’s Common Stock and to each
other class of capital stock or series of preferred stock established after the date of original issuance of the Preferred Stock, the terms of which do not expressly provide that such class or series ranks senior to or on a parity with the Preferred
Stock as to dividend rights and/or rights upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding-up (which is referred to collectively as “junior stock”);



  




  
 33 













			
		  	  

•         equally with each class of capital stock or series of
preferred stock established after the date of original issuance of the Preferred Stock, the terms of which expressly provide that such class or series ranks equally with the Preferred Stock as to dividend rights and/or rights upon the Company’s
liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, without regard to whether dividends accrue cumulatively or non-cumulatively (which is referred to collectively as “parity stock”);

 

•         junior to each class of capital stock or series of
preferred stock established after the date of original issuance of the Preferred Stock, the terms of which expressly provide that such class or series ranks senior to the Preferred Stock as to dividend rights and/or rights upon the Company’s
liquidation, dissolution or winding-up; and
  
 •         junior to the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ existing and future indebtedness (including, in the case of such subsidiaries, trade
payables).

		
	Dividend Stopper	  	 Subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the Certificate of Designations, so long as any share of the Preferred Stock remains
outstanding:
  

•         no dividend or distribution will be declared or paid on
the Company’s Common Stock or any other shares of junior stock (other than dividends payable solely in shares of the Company’s Common Stock) or parity stock; and

 

•         no Common Stock, junior stock or parity stock will be,
directly or indirectly, purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for consideration by the Company or any of its subsidiaries;
  

in each case, unless all accrued and unpaid dividends for all past Dividend Periods for the Preferred Stock, including the latest completed Dividend
Period for the Preferred Stock (including, if applicable, dividends on such dividends), on all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock have been or are contemporaneously declared and paid in full (or have been declared and a sum sufficient for the
payment thereof has been set aside for the benefit of the holders of shares of Preferred Stock on the applicable regular record date for the Preferred Stock).

		
	Voting Rights	  	The holders of Preferred Stock shall not have any voting rights except as set forth below or as otherwise from time to time required by law.
		
		  	Whenever, at any time or times, from and including the Approval Deadline, dividends payable on the shares of Preferred Stock have not been paid for an aggregate of six quarterly
Dividend Periods or more, whether or not consecutive (a “nonpayment”), the authorized number


  




  
 34 













			
		  	 of directors on the Company’s board of directors will automatically be increased by two and the holders of the Preferred Stock
will have the right, with holders of shares of any one or more other classes or series of outstanding parity stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable at the time, voting together as a class (and with voting rights
allocated pro rata based on the liquidation amount of each such class or series), to elect two directors (collectively, the “preferred directors” and each, a “preferred director”) to fill such newly created
directorships at the Company’s next annual meeting of stockholders (or at a special meeting called for that purpose prior to such next annual meeting by the chairman of the board or chief executive officer or holders of record of at least 10%
of (i) the Preferred Stock or (ii) any such class or series the Company’s capital stock entitled to vote for such preferred directors) and at each subsequent annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders until all accrued and unpaid
dividends for all prior Dividend Periods (including, if applicable, dividends on such dividends) have been paid in full on the Preferred Stock, at which time such right will terminate, except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Designations
or expressly provided by law, subject to revesting in the event of each and every nonpayment; provided that it will be a qualification for election for any preferred director that the election of such preferred director will not cause the
Company to violate any corporate governance requirements of any securities exchange or other trading facility on which the Company’s securities may then be listed or traded that listed or traded companies must have a majority of independent
directors.
  
 So long as any shares of Preferred Stock are outstanding, in
addition to any other vote or consent of stockholders required by law or by the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the vote or consent of the holders of at least
66 2/3 of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock
at the time outstanding and entitled to vote thereon, given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary for effecting or validating:

 

•         any amendment, alteration or repeal of any provision of
the Restated Certificate of Incorporation so as to increase the number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock or materially and adversely affect the special rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers of the Preferred Stock, taken as a whole;
or



  




  
 35 













			
		  	 •         any consummation of a binding share
exchange or reclassification involving the Preferred Stock, or of a merger or consolidation of the Company with another corporation or other entity, unless in each case either (A) such binding share exchange or reclassification constitutes a
Reorganization Event and the Corporation complies with the provisions described opposite the heading “Conversion Upon Reorganization Event” above with respect to such Reorganization Event; or (B) the shares of Preferred Stock remain
outstanding and have such rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers, and limitations and restrictions thereof, taken as a whole, as are not materially less favorable to the holders thereof than the rights, preferences, privileges and voting
powers, and limitations and restrictions thereof, of the Preferred Stock immediately prior to such consummation, taken as a whole;
  

provided, however, that for purposes of the above, any increase in the amount of the authorized or issued Preferred Stock or other authorized
preferred stock, or the creation and issuance, or an increase in the authorized or issued amount, of any other series of preferred stock or other stock of the Company ranking senior to, equally with and/or junior to the Preferred Stock with respect
to the payment of dividends (whether such dividends are cumulative or non-cumulative) and/or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company will not be deemed to materially and adversely affect the special
rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers of the Preferred Stock, taken as a whole.
  
 In addition, so long as any shares of Preferred Stock are outstanding, in addition to any other vote or consent of stockholders required by law or by the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the vote or
consent of the holders of at a majority of the shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding, given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary for effecting a publicly
announced tender offer by the Company of shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that such vote or consent shall not be required if the Company grants holders of Preferred Stock the right to participate, based on the number of
shares of Common Stock into which such Preferred Stock is convertible, in such tender offer on the same terms and conditions as holders of Common Stock.

		
	Liquidation Preference	  	In the event of the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of its affairs, whether voluntary or involuntary, each holder of Preferred Stock will be entitled to
receive for each share of Preferred Stock, out


  




  
 36 













			
		  	 of the Company’s assets or proceeds thereof (whether capital or surplus) available for distribution to its stockholders, subject
to the rights of any of its creditors, before any payment or distribution of such assets or proceeds is made to or set aside for the holders of the Company’s Common Stock and any other junior stock, payment in full in an amount equal to the sum
of (a) the Liquidation Amount per share of Preferred Stock and (b) an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid dividends (including, if applicable, dividends on such amount) on each share of Preferred Stock, whether or not declared, from the relevant
date of issuance to the date fixed for liquidation, dissolution or winding-up (such amounts collectively, the “liquidation preference”).
  

If in any distribution described in the immediately preceding paragraph the Company’s assets or proceeds thereof are not sufficient to pay in full
the amounts payable with respect to all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts payable with respect of any other stock of the Company’s ranking equally with the Preferred Stock as to such distribution, holders of
Preferred Stock and the holders of such other stock will share ratably in any such distribution in proportion to the full accrued and unpaid respective distributions to which they are entitled.

 
 If the liquidation preference has been paid in full to all holders of Preferred Stock
and the corresponding amounts payable with respect to any other stock of the Company ranking equally with the Preferred Stock as to such distribution have been paid in full, the holders of the Company’s other stock will be entitled to receive
all of the Company’s remaining assets (or proceeds thereof) according to their respective rights and preferences; provided that if the amount of such assets or proceeds to be distributed with respect to a number of shares of the
Company’s Common Stock equal to the then-current Conversion Rate (the “as-converted liquidation amount”) exceeds the liquidation preference per share of Preferred Stock, then holders of Preferred Stock will be entitled to
receive, for each share of Preferred Stock, an additional amount (the “liquidation participation amount”) out of such assets or proceeds such that the as-converted liquidation amount equals the sum of the liquidation preference,
plus the liquidation participation amount, such that the holders of Preferred Stock receive the same amount on an as-converted basis as the holders of a number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock equal to the then-current Conversion
Rate.

	 Transferability; Right to Designate
	  	 Each share of Preferred Stock will be fully transferable to qualified institutional buyers at the option of the holder thereof,
without the Company’s consent.
  
 In addition, notwithstanding any other
provision in the Certificate of Designation to the contrary requiring or allowing a holder of Preferred Stock to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any shares of Preferred Stock or other securities to or from the Company, such holder may designate
any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such shares or other securities and otherwise to perform holder’s obligations under the Certificate of Designations and any such designee may assume such obligations. Such holder shall
be discharged of its obligations to the Company to the extent of any such performance.

		
	Registration/Private Placement Procedures	  	The Certificate of Designations will contain provisions substantially similar to the registration and private placement provisions set forth in Section 9(k) of the Confirmation
if, in the reasonable opinion of any holder of Preferred Stock, following any delivery of shares of Preferred Stock, such shares would be in the hands of such holder subject to any applicable restrictions with respect to any registration or
qualification requirement or prospectus delivery requirement for such shares pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities law (including, without limitation, any such requirement arising under Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Securities Act”), as a result of such shares being “restricted securities”, as such term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or as a result of the sale of such shares or being subject to
paragraph (c) of Rule 145 under the Securities Act).
		
	Redemption	  	The Preferred Stock is not redeemable at the Company’s option at any time.
		
	Repurchase	  	The Preferred Stock is not subject to repurchase at the option of holders at any time.
		
	Preemptive Rights	  	The holders of the Preferred Stock do not have any preemptive rights.
		
	Listing	  	The Preferred Stock will not be listed on any securities exchange or any automated dealer quotation system.
		
	Transfer Agent, Etc.	  	The transfer agent, registrar, paying agent and the conversion agent for the Preferred Stock will be Computershare Trust Company, N.A.
