“Staggered Share Settlement Date”); and 
 (iii) If such shares do not satisfy the conditions for
Registered Settlement, then such shares shall be sold in the Private Placement Settlement and GS&Co. may apply a commercially reasonable discount to the value of such shares and request by written notice an additional number of shares of Common
Stock having a value equal to such discount. The Company shall deliver such additional number of shares within three Trading Days following delivery of GS&Co.’s notice communicating such number of shares.

 10 








 
accordance with the settlement terms of this Letter Agreement will terminate (it being understood that such termination will not affect or suspend any payment or other obligations under this
Section X). If GS&Co. is the Non-Defaulting Party or the Non-Affected Party, it may reduce the number of days in the Pricing Period, notwithstanding any other provision hereof, purchase a number of shares of Common Stock to cover its remaining
short position or adjust any other term hereof, and sell, liquidate, offset or take any other action with respect to any short position established or maintained by it in connection with this Transaction. Following a Termination Notice, the

to be its total unreimbursed net losses and costs in connection with this Letter Agreement (or gain, in which case expressed as a negative number) (the “Loss”). Such computation shall include any out-of-pocket losses and loss or cost
incurred as a result of its terminating, liquidating, obtaining or reestablishing any hedge or related trading position (or any gain resulting from any of them). In addition to the foregoing, the Non-Defaulting Party or the Non-Affected Party may
include in its determination of its Loss hereunder such losses and costs (or gains) in respect of any payment or delivery required to have been made and not made on or before the relevant termination date. The amount of the Loss shall be specified
in a notice to the Defaulting Party or Affected Party in a notice (the “Loss Notice”) as soon as practicable following calculation of the Loss within a commercially reasonable period following the Termination Notice. 

(b) (i) If GS&Co. is the Defaulting Party or Affected Party, upon receipt of a Loss Notice from the Company where the amount of
such Loss is a positive number, or (ii) if the Company is the Defaulting Party or the Affected Party where the amount of such Loss is a negative number, then in either case GS&Co. shall promptly pay to the Company the absolute value of such
Loss in cash or deliver, pursuant to paragraph (c) below, Alternative Termination Delivery Units at the Company’s election, which binding election shall be made in writing no later than one business day immediately following the
Non-Defaulting Party’s or the Non-Affected Party delivery of the related Loss Notice, as applicable (the date of such delivery, the “Default Notice Day”); provided that the Company’s election to receive the Alternative
Termination Delivery Units pursuant to this Section X(b) shall not be valid and cash settlement shall apply if the representation made by the Company to GS&Co. in Section XVII(e) is not true and correct as of the date the Company makes such
election, as if made on such date. 
 (c) If GS&Co. is the Defaulting Party or Affected Party and the amount of the Loss is
a positive number or if the Company is the Defaulting Party or the Affected Party where the amount of the Loss is a negative number, and in each case if the Company elects physical settlement pursuant to paragraph (b) above, (i) GS&Co.
shall, beginning on the first Trading Day following the Default Notice Day and ending on the Trading Day when GS&Co. shall have satisfied its obligations under this clause (the “Termination Share Purchase Period”), purchase a number of
Alternative Termination Delivery Units (the “Net ATDU Number”) equal to (x) (A) the Loss divided by (B) the Termination Price (such quotient, the “Total ATDU Number”) minus (y) any Alternative
Termination Delivery Units then directly or indirectly held by GS&Co. in its hedge position related to this Transaction; and (ii) GS&Co. shall deliver the Total ATDU Number to the Company as soon as practicable. The timing of the
purchases of the Net ATDU Number by GS&Co., the price paid per unit pursuant to such purchases and the manner in which such purchases are made, including without limitation whether such transactions are made on any securities exchange or
privately, shall be within the reasonable judgment of GS&Co.; provided that GS&Co. shall use commercially reasonable efforts in good faith to effect such purchases of Common Stock in a manner that would comply with the limitations set
forth in clauses (b)(2), (b)(3), (b)(4) and (c) of Rule 10b-18 as if such rule were applicable to such purchases. 
  

 11 








 (d) (i) If GS&Co. is the Defaulting Party or Affected Party, upon receipt of a Loss
Notice from the Company where the amount of such Loss is a negative number, or (ii) if the Company is the Defaulting Party or the Affected Party where the amount of such Loss is a positive number, then in either case the Company shall promptly
pay to GS&Co. the absolute value of such Loss in cash or deliver, pursuant to paragraph (e) below, Alternative Termination Delivery Units at the Company’s election, which binding election shall be made in writing no later than one
business day immediately following the Non-Defaulting Party’s or the Non-Affected Party delivery of the related Loss Notice, as applicable (the date of such delivery, the “Default Notice Day”); provided that the Company’s
election to deliver the Alternative Termination Delivery Units pursuant to this Section X(d) shall not be valid and cash settlement shall apply if the representation made by the Company to GS&Co. in Section XVII(e) is not true and correct as of
the date the Company makes such election, as if made on such date. 
 (e) If GS&Co. is the Defaulting Party or Affected
Party and the amount of the Loss is a negative number or if the Company is the Defaulting Party or the Affected Party where the amount of the Loss is a positive number, and in each case if the Company elects physical settlement pursuant to paragraph
(d) above, the Company shall deliver to GS&Co. a number of Alternative Termination Delivery Units (“Company ATDU Number”) having a value equal to the absolute value of the amount of such Loss. Such value shall be determined in a
commercially reasonable manner by GS&Co. based on the then fair market value of the Alternative Termination Delivery Units, may take into account any transfer restrictions imposed by law on any securities constituting Alternative Termination
Delivery Units and shall be conducted in compliance with the procedures for Registered Settlement or Private Placement Settlement, at the election of the Company. 

(f) In addition to the payments set forth in subsections (b) and (d) above, the Defaulting Party or Affected Party agrees to
indemnify the other party from and against any reasonable expenses (including reasonable legal fees and other expenses of collection) it may incur as a result of any default by such party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party shall not be
responsible for any special, indirect or consequential damages, even if informed of the possibility thereof. 
 XI. Other Agreements

 (a) The parties acknowledge and agree that this Letter Agreement is not intended to convey to GS&Co. rights against the
Company hereunder that are senior to the claims of common stockholders in any U.S. bankruptcy proceedings of the Company; provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit GS&Co.’s right to pursue
remedies in the event of a breach by the Company of its obligations and agreements with respect to this Letter Agreement; and provided, further, that in pursuing a claim against the Company in the event of a bankruptcy, insolvency or
dissolution with respect to Company, GS&Co.’s rights hereunder shall rank on a parity with the rights of a holder of shares of Common Stock enforcing similar rights under a contract involving shares of Common Stock. 

(b) The Company agrees that the material terms of this Transaction (and any other similar transactions), and the consequences of such
transactions on the financial condition and results of operations of the Company, will be disclosed by the Company in accordance with all rules, regulations, accounting principles (including ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in
Entity’s Own Equity (or any successor issue statements)) and laws applicable to the Company in its periodic filings under the Exchange Act and its financial statements and notes thereto. 

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Letter Agreement, the Company acknowledges that neither GS&Co. nor any of its
affiliates is making any representations or warranties 
  

 12 








 
or taking any position or expressing any view with respect to the treatment of this Transaction under any accounting standards including ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share, ASC Topic 815,
Derivatives and Hedging, or ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (or any successor issue statements).

XIV. Assignment and Transfer 

The rights and duties under this Letter Agreement may not be assigned or transferred by either party hereto without the prior written
consent of the other party hereto; provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision in this Letter Agreement to the contrary requiring or allowing GS&Co. to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any shares of Common Stock
or other securities to or from the Company, GS&Co. may, without the prior written consent of the Company, designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such shares of Common Stock or other securities and otherwise to
perform GS&Co.’s obligations in respect of this Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations and GS&Co. shall be discharged of its obligations to the Company only to the extent of any such performance. For the avoidance
of doubt, GS&Co. hereby acknowledges that notwithstanding any such designation or assignment hereunder, to the extent any of GS&Co.’s obligations in respect of this Transaction are not completed by its designee or assignee, GS&Co.
shall be obligated to continue to perform or to cause any other of its designees to perform in respect of such obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Letter Agreement, GS&Co. may assign, transfer and set over all rights,
title and interest, powers, privileges and remedies of GS&Co. under any transaction contemplated by this Letter Agreement, in whole or in part, to an affiliate of GS&Co. whose obligations are guaranteed by The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.
without the consent of the Company. 
 XV. Calculations 

GS&Co. shall give the Company prompt written notice of all calculations, adjustments and determinations made hereunder. Any such
calculation, adjustment, or determination shall be made by GS&Co. in good faith and in a commercially reasonably manner. At the request of the Company, following any such calculation, adjustment or determination, GS&Co. shall provide to the
Company by electronic mail a report (in a commonly used file format for the storage and manipulation of financial data) setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and methodology for any such calculation, adjustment or determination and including,
if applicable, a comparison to any like methodology utilized by GS&Co. in establishing the initial terms of this Transaction.
