This communication constitutes a “Confirmation” as referred to in the Agreement specified below.


 


1.                  
This Confirmation is subject to, and incorporates, the definitions and provisions of the 2006 ISDA Definitions (the “2006
Definitions”) and the definitions and provisions of the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “Equity
Definitions”, and together with the 2006 Definitions, the “Definitions”), in each case as published
by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”). Certain defined terms used herein have
the meanings assigned to them in the Offering Memorandum dated April 20, 2020 (as so supplemented, the “Offering Memorandum”)
relating to the USD 330,000,000 principal amount of 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Base Convertible Securities”)
issued by Counterparty (as increased by up to an additional USD 50,000,000 principal amount of 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due
2025 that may be issued pursuant to the option to purchase additional convertible securities (the “Optional Convertible
Securities” and, together with the Base Convertible Securities, the “Convertible Securities”)) pursuant
to an Indenture to be dated April 23, 2020 between Counterparty and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Indenture”).
In the event of any inconsistency between the terms defined in the Indenture and this Confirmation, this Confirmation shall govern.
The parties acknowledge that this Confirmation is entered into on the date hereof with the understanding that (i) definitions set
forth in the Indenture that are also defined herein by reference to the Indenture and (ii) sections of the Indenture that are referred
to herein, in each case, will conform to the descriptions thereof in the Offering Memorandum. If any such definitions in the Indenture
or any such sections of the Indenture differ from the descriptions thereof in the Offering Memorandum, the descriptions thereof
in the Offering Memorandum will govern for purposes of this Confirmation. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to the foregoing,
references herein to sections of, or definitions set forth in, the Indenture are based on the draft of the Indenture most recently
reviewed by the parties at the time of execution of this Confirmation. If any relevant sections of, or definitions set forth in,
the Indenture are changed, added or renumbered between the execution of this Confirmation and the execution of the Indenture, the
parties will amend this Confirmation in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner to preserve the economic intent of the
parties as evidenced by such draft of the Indenture. In addition, subject to the foregoing, the parties acknowledge that references
to the Indenture herein are references to the Indenture as in effect on the date hereof and if the Indenture is, or the Convertible
Securities are, amended, modified or supplemented following the date hereof or the date of their execution, respectively, any such
amendment, modification or supplement (other than any amendment, modification or supplement (i) pursuant to Section 5.09
of the Indenture, subject to the provisions opposite the caption “Discretionary Adjustments” in Section 2 hereof, or
(ii) pursuant to Section 8.01(I) of the Indenture that, as determined by the Calculation
Agent in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, conforms the Indenture to the description of Convertible Securities
in the Offering Memorandum) will be disregarded for purposes of this Confirmation unless the parties agree otherwise in writing.


 


Each party is hereby advised, and each such
party acknowledges, that the other party has engaged in, or refrained from engaging in, substantial financial transactions and
has taken other material actions in reliance upon the parties’ entry into the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates
on the terms and conditions set forth below.

This Confirmation evidences a complete and
binding agreement between Dealer and Counterparty as to the terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates. This Confirmation
shall be subject to an agreement (the “Agreement”) in the form of the 2002 ISDA Master Agreement as if Dealer and Counterparty
had executed an agreement in such form on the date hereof (but without any Schedule except for (i) the election of US Dollars (“USD”)
as the Termination Currency, (ii) the election of the laws of the State of New York as the governing law (without reference to
choice of law doctrine), (iii) (A) the election that the “Cross Default” provisions of Section 5(a)(vi) of the Agreement
shall apply to Dealer with a “Threshold Amount” of three percent of Dealer’s shareholders’ equity; provided
that “Specified Indebtedness” shall not include obligations in respect of deposits received in the ordinary course
of Dealer’s banking business, (B) the phrase “or becoming capable at such time of being declared” shall be deleted
from clause (1) of such Section 5(a)(vi) and (C) the following language shall be added to the end thereof “Notwithstanding
the foregoing, a default under subsection (2) hereof shall not constitute an Event of Default if (x) the default was caused solely
by error or omission of an administrative or operational nature; (y) funds were available to enable the party to make the payment
when due; and (z) the payment is made within two Local Business Days of such party’s receipt of written notice of its failure
to pay.”).


 


All provisions contained in, or incorporated
by reference to, the Agreement will govern this Confirmation except as expressly modified herein. In the event of any inconsistency
among this Confirmation, the Equity Definitions, the 2006 Definitions or the Agreement, the following shall prevail in the order
of precedence indicated: (i) this Confirmation; (ii) the Equity Definitions; (iii) the 2006 Definitions; and (iv) the Agreement.
For the avoidance of doubt, except to the extent of an express conflict, the application of any provision of this Confirmation,
the Agreement, the Equity Definitions or the 2006 Definitions shall not be construed to exclude or limit any other provision of
this Confirmation, the Agreement, the Equity Definitions or the 2006 Definitions.


 


The Transaction hereunder shall be the sole
Transaction under the Agreement. If there exists any ISDA Master Agreement between Dealer and Counterparty or any confirmation
or other agreement between Dealer and Counterparty pursuant to which an ISDA Master Agreement is deemed to exist between Dealer
and Counterparty, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in such ISDA Master Agreement, such confirmation or agreement or
any other agreement to which Dealer and Counterparty are parties, the Transaction shall not be considered a Transaction under,
or otherwise governed by, such existing or deemed ISDA Master Agreement.

	Applicable Settlement Method:	For any Relevant Convertible Securities, if Counterparty has notified Dealer in the Notice of Final Convertible Security Settlement Method that it has elected, or is deemed to have elected, to satisfy its conversion obligation in respect of such Relevant Convertible Securities in cash or in a combination of cash and Shares in accordance with Section 5.03(A) of the Indenture (a “Cash Election”) with a “Specified Dollar Amount” (as defined in the Indenture) of at least USD 1,000, the Applicable Settlement Method shall be the settlement method actually so elected, or deemed to be elected, by Counterparty in respect of such Relevant Convertible Securities (the “Convertible Securities Settlement Method”); otherwise, the Applicable Settlement Method shall assume Counterparty had made a Cash Election with respect to such Relevant Convertible Securities (a “Deemed Cash Election”) with a “Specified Dollar Amount” (as defined in the Indenture) of USD 1,000 per Relevant Convertible Security (“Net Share Settlement”) and the Delivery Obligation shall be determined by the Calculation Agent pursuant to Section 5.03(B)(i)(3) of the Indenture as if the relevant “Observation Period” (as defined in the Indenture) were the Cash Settlement Averaging Period.
	Cash Settlement Averaging Period:	The 40 “VWAP Trading Days” (as defined in the Indenture) commencing on the 41st “Scheduled Trading Day” (as defined in the Indenture) prior to the “Maturity Date” (as defined in the Indenture).
	Other Applicable Provisions:	To the extent Dealer is obligated to deliver Shares hereunder, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9 and 9.11 of the Equity Definitions will be applicable as if “Physical Settlement” applied to the Transaction; provided that the Representation and Agreement contained in Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions shall be modified by excluding any representations therein relating to restrictions, obligations, limitations or requirements under applicable securities laws that exist as a result of the fact that Counterparty is the issuer of the Shares.
	Restricted Certificated Shares:	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Equity Definitions, Dealer may, in whole or in part, deliver Shares required to be delivered to Counterparty hereunder in certificated form in lieu of delivery through the Clearance System.

	Adjustments:	 
	Method of Adjustment:	
        Notwithstanding Section 11.2 of the Equity Definitions, upon
        the occurrence of any event or condition set forth in the Dilution Adjustment Provisions (a “Potential Adjustment Event”)
        that requires an adjustment under the Indenture, the Calculation Agent shall, in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner,
        make a corresponding adjustment in respect of any one or more of the Strike Price, the Number of Options, the Option Entitlement
        and any other term relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment of the Transaction, to the extent an analogous adjustment is
        required under the Indenture, subject to “Discretionary Adjustments” below. Immediately upon the occurrence of any
        Potential Adjustment Event, Counterparty shall notify the Calculation Agent of such Potential Adjustment Event.

         

        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Equity
        Definitions:

         

        (i) in connection with any Potential Adjustment Event as a result
        of an event or condition set forth in Section 5.05(A)(ii) of the Indenture or Section 5.05(A)(iii) of the Indenture where, in either
        case, the period for determining “Y” (as such term is used in Section 5.05(A)(ii) of the Indenture) or “SP”
        (as such term is used in Section 5.05(A)(iii) of the Indenture), as the case may be, begins before Counterparty has publicly announced
        the event or condition giving rise to such Potential Adjustment Event, then the Calculation Agent shall, in good faith and in a
        commercially reasonable manner, have the right to adjust any variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment for the Transaction
        as appropriate to reflect the commercially reasonable costs (to account solely for hedging mismatches and market losses) and commercially
        reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Dealer in connection with its commercially reasonable hedging activities as a result
        of such event or condition not having been publicly announced prior to the beginning of such period; and

         

        (ii) if any Potential Adjustment Event is declared and (a) the
        event or condition giving rise to such Potential Adjustment Event is subsequently amended, modified, cancelled or abandoned, (b)
        the “Conversion Rate” (as defined in the Indenture) is otherwise not adjusted at the time or in the manner contemplated
        by the relevant Dilution Adjustment Provision based on such declaration or (c) the “Conversion Rate” (as defined in
        the Indenture) is adjusted as a result of such Potential Adjustment Event and subsequently re-adjusted (each of clauses (a), (b)
        and (c), a “Potential Adjustment Event Change”) then, in each case, the Calculation Agent shall, in good faith
        and in a commercially reasonable manner, have the right to adjust any variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment
        for the Transaction as appropriate to reflect the commercially reasonable costs (to account solely for hedging mismatches and market
        losses) and commercially reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Dealer in connection with its commercially reasonable hedging
        activities as a result of such Potential Adjustment Event Change.

         

        For the avoidance of doubt, Dealer shall not have any payment
        or delivery obligation hereunder in respect of, and no adjustment shall be made to the terms of the Transaction on account of,
        (x) any distribution of cash, property or securities by Counterparty to the holders of Convertible Securities (upon conversion
        or otherwise) or (y) any other transaction in which holders of Convertible Securities are entitled to participate, in each case,
        in lieu of an adjustment under the Indenture in respect of a Potential Adjustment Event (including, without limitation, under the
        proviso in the first sentence of Section 5.05(A)(iii)(1) of the Indenture or the proviso in the first sentence of Section 5.05(A)(iv)
        of the Indenture).

         

	Dilution Adjustment Provisions:	Sections 5.05(A)(i), (A)(ii), (A)(iii), (A)(iv), (A)(v) and Section 5.05(H) of the Indenture
	Discretionary Adjustments:	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Equity Definitions, if the Calculation Agent in good faith disagrees with any adjustment under the Indenture that is the basis of any adjustment hereunder and that involves an exercise of discretion by Counterparty, its board of directors or a committee of its board of directors (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 5.05(H) of the Indenture or pursuant to Section 5.09 of the Indenture or any supplemental indenture entered into thereunder or in connection with the determination of the fair value of any securities, property, rights or other assets), then the Calculation Agent will determine the corresponding adjustment to be made to any one or more of the Strike Price, Number of Options, Option Entitlement and any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment of or under the Transaction in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner consistent with the methodology set forth in the Indenture. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Potential Adjustment Event occurs during the Cash Settlement Averaging Period but no adjustment was made to any Convertible Security under the Indenture because the relevant holder of such Convertible Security was deemed to be a record owner of the underlying Shares on the related Conversion Date, then the Calculation Agent shall, in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, make an adjustment, consistent with the methodology set forth in the Indenture as determined by it, to the terms hereof in order to account for such Potential Adjustment Event.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Delivery Obligation shall be calculated on the basis of such adjustments by the Calculation Agent

	Extraordinary Events:	 
	Merger Events:	Notwithstanding Section 12.1(b) of the Equity Definitions, “Merger Event” shall have the same meaning as the meaning of “Common Stock Change Event” set forth in Section 5.09 of the Indenture.
	Consequences of Merger Events/Tender Offers:	Notwithstanding Section 12.2 of the Equity Definitions, upon the occurrence of a Merger Event, the Calculation Agent, acting in good faith and commercially reasonably, shall make a corresponding adjustment in respect of any adjustment under the Indenture to any one or more of the nature of the Shares, the Number of Options, the Option Entitlement, composition of the “Shares” hereunder and any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment for the Transaction, to the extent an analogous adjustment is required under Section 5.09 of the Indenture in respect of such Merger Event, as determined in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner by the Calculation Agent by reference to such Section, subject to “Discretionary Adjustments” above; provided that such adjustment shall be made without regard to any adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to a Make-Whole Adjustment or a Discretionary Adjustment; provided further that in respect of any election by the holders of Shares with respect to the consideration due upon consummation of any Merger Event, the Calculation Agent shall have the right to adjust any variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment for the Transaction as appropriate to compensate Dealer for any losses (including, without limitation, market losses customary for transactions similar to the Transaction with counterparties similar to Counterparty) relating to any mismatch on its Hedge Position, assuming Dealer maintains a commercially reasonable Hedge Position, and the type and amount of consideration actually paid or issued to the holders of Shares in respect of such Merger Event; and provided further that if, with respect to a Merger Event or a Tender Offer, (i) the consideration for the Shares includes (or, at the option of a holder of Shares, may include) securities issued by an entity that is not a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia or (ii) the Counterparty to the Transaction, following such Merger Event, will not be a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia or will not be the Issuer, Dealer may elect in its commercially reasonable discretion that Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination) shall apply.  For the avoidance of doubt, adjustments shall be made pursuant to the provisions set forth above regardless of whether any Merger Event gives rise to an Early Conversion.  For purposes of this paragraph, “Tender Offer” means the occurrence of any event or condition set forth in Section 5.05(A)(v) of the Indenture.
	Notice of Merger Consideration:	Upon the occurrence of a Merger Event, Counterparty shall reasonably promptly (but in any event prior to consummation of such Merger Event) notify the Calculation Agent of, in the case of a Merger Event that causes the Shares to be converted into the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election), the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration actually received by holders of Shares upon consummation of such Merger Event.
	Consequences of Announcement Events:	Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment as set forth in Section 12.3(d) of the Equity Definitions; provided that, in respect of an Announcement Event, (x) references to “Tender Offer” shall be replaced by references to “Announcement Event” and references to “Tender Offer Date” shall be replaced by references to “date of such Announcement Event”, (y) the phrase “exercise, settlement, payment or any other terms of the Transaction (including, without limitation, the spread)” shall be replaced with the phrase “Cap Price (provided that in no event shall the Cap Price be less than the Strike Price)” and the words “whether within a commercially reasonable (as determined by the Calculation Agent) period of time prior to or after the Announcement Event” shall be inserted prior to the word “, which” in the seventh line, and (z) for the avoidance of doubt, the Calculation Agent shall, in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, determine whether the relevant Announcement Event has had an economic effect on the Transaction (the terms of which include, among other terms, the Strike Price and Cap Price), and, if so, shall adjust the Cap Price accordingly to take into account such economic effect on one or more occasions on or after the date of the Announcement Event up to, and including, the Expiration Date, any Early Termination Date and/or any other date of cancellation, it being understood that (i) any adjustment in respect of an Announcement Event shall take into account any earlier adjustment relating to the same Announcement Event and (ii) in making any adjustment the Calculation Agent shall take into account volatility, liquidity or other factors before and after such Announcement Event.  An Announcement Event shall be an “Extraordinary Event” for purposes of the Equity Definitions, to which Article 12 of the Equity Definitions is applicable.

	Announcement Event:	(i)     The public announcement by Issuer, any subsidiary of Issuer, any affiliate of Issuer, any agent or representative of Issuer, any Valid Third Party Entity or any affiliate of a Valid Third Party Entity of (x) any transaction or event that, if completed, would constitute a Merger Event or Tender Offer, (y) any potential acquisition or disposition by Issuer and/or its subsidiaries where the aggregate consideration exceeds 35% of the market capitalization of Issuer as of the date of such announcement (a “Transformative Transaction”) or (z) the intention to enter into a Merger Event or Tender Offer or a Transformative Transaction, (ii) the public announcement by Issuer of an intention to solicit or enter into, or to explore strategic alternatives or other similar undertaking that may include, a Merger Event or Tender Offer or a Transformative Transaction or (iii) any subsequent public announcement by Issuer, any subsidiary of Issuer, any affiliate of Issuer, any agent or representative of Issuer or a Valid Third Party Entity of a change to a transaction or intention that is the subject of an announcement of the type described in clause (i) or (ii) of this sentence (including, without limitation, a new announcement, whether or not by the same party, relating to such a transaction or intention or the announcement of a withdrawal from, or the abandonment or discontinuation of, such a transaction or intention), as determined by the Calculation Agent in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner.  For the avoidance of doubt, the occurrence of an Announcement Event with respect to any transaction or intention shall not preclude the occurrence of a later Announcement Event with respect to such transaction or intention.

On the Trade Date, (A) Counterparty is not aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Counterparty or the Shares
and (B) all reports and other documents filed by Counterparty with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) when considered as a whole (with the more recent such
reports and documents deemed to amend inconsistent statements contained in any earlier such reports and documents), do not contain
any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.


 


(ii)               
(A) On the Trade Date, the Shares or securities that are convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for Shares, are
not subject to a “restricted period,” as such term is defined in Regulation M under the Exchange Act (“Regulation
M”) and (B) Counterparty shall not engage in any “distribution,” as such term is defined in Regulation M,
other than a distribution meeting the requirements of the exceptions set forth in sections 101(b)(10) and 102(b)(7) of Regulation
M, until the second Exchange Business Day immediately following the Trade Date.


 


(iii)             
Without limiting the generality of Section 13.1 of the Equity Definitions, Counterparty acknowledges that neither Dealer
nor any of its affiliates is making any representations or warranties or taking any position or expressing any view with respect
to the treatment of the Transaction under any accounting standards including ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share, ASC Topic

Prior to the Trade Date, Counterparty shall deliver to Dealer a resolution of Counterparty’s board of directors authorizing
the Transaction.


 


(vi)              
Counterparty is not entering into this Confirmation to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any
security convertible into or exchangeable for Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or
any security convertible into or exchangeable for Shares) or otherwise in violation of the Exchange Act.


 


(vii)            
Counterparty is not, and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby will not be, required to register as,

(ix)

(x)               
To the knowledge of Counterparty, no state or local (including non-U.S. jurisdictions) law, rule, regulation or regulatory
order applicable to the Shares would give rise to any reporting, consent, registration or other requirement (including without
limitation a requirement to obtain prior approval from any person or entity) as a result of Dealer or its affiliates owning or
holding (however defined) Shares; provided that Counterparty makes no representation or warranty regarding any such requirement
that is applicable generally to the ownership of equity securities by Dealer or any of its affiliates solely as a result of it
or any of such affiliates being financial institutions or broker-dealers.

Counterparty (A) is capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to all transactions

registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), by virtue of Section

participant” within the meaning of Sections 101(22) and 101(22A) of the Bankruptcy Code. The parties hereto further agree
and acknowledge (A) that this Confirmation is 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 or in connection herewith is a “termination
value,” “payment amount” or “other transfer obligation” within the meaning of Section 362 of the
Bankruptcy Code and a “settlement payment” within the meaning of Section 546 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (B) that Dealer
is entitled to the protections afforded by, among other sections, Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(27), 362(o), 546(e), 546(j), 548(d)(2),
555 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code.


 


(e)                
As a condition to the effectiveness of the Transaction, (i) Counterparty shall deliver to Dealer an opinion of counsel,
dated as of the Premium Payment Date and reasonably acceptable to Dealer in form and substance, with respect to the matters set

8.                  
Other Provisions:


 


(a)                 Right
to Extend. Dealer may postpone or add, in whole or in part, any Exercise Date or Settlement Date or any other date of
valuation, payment or delivery by Dealer, with respect to some or all of the relevant Options (in which event the Calculation
Agent, in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, shall make appropriate adjustments to the Delivery Obligation),
if Dealer determines, in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, and, in respect of clause (ii) below, based on
the advice of counsel, that such extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate (i) to preserve Dealer’s commercially
reasonable hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions in the cash market, the stock
borrow market or other relevant market (but only if there is a material decrease in liquidity relative to Dealer’s
expectations on the Trade Date), or (ii) to enable Dealer to effect purchases or sales of Shares or Share Termination
Delivery Units in connection with its commercially reasonable hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a
manner that would (assuming, in the case of purchases, Dealer were Counterparty or an affiliated purchaser of Counterparty)
be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures
(whether or not such requirements, policies or procedures are imposed by law or have been voluntarily adopted by Dealer and,
in the case of policies or procedures, so long as such policies or procedures are consistently applied to transactions
similar to the Transaction); provided that no such Exercise Date, Settlement Date or other date of valuation, payment
or delivery may be postponed or added more than 80 “VWAP Trading Days” (as defined in the Indenture) after the
original Exercise Date, Settlement Date or other date of valuation, payment or delivery, as the case may be.


 


(b)               
Additional Termination Events.


 


(i)                 
The occurrence of an event of default with respect to Counterparty under the terms of the Convertible Securities as set
forth in Section 7.01 of the Indenture, which default has resulted in the Convertible Securities
becoming due and payable under the terms thereof, shall constitute an Additional Termination Event with respect to which the Transaction
is the sole Affected Transaction and Counterparty is the sole Affected Party, and Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate
an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement and to determine the amount payable pursuant to Section 6(e)
of the Agreement.


 


(ii)                Within
five Exchange Business Days immediately following any Repurchase Event (as defined below), Counterparty (x) in the case of a
Repurchase Event resulting from the redemption of any Convertible Securities by Counterparty or the repurchase of any
Convertible Securities by Counterparty upon the occurrence of a “Fundamental Change” (as defined in the
Indenture), shall notify Dealer in writing of such Repurchase Event and (y) in the case of a Repurchase Event not described
in clause (x) above, may notify Dealer of such Repurchase Event, in each case, including the number of Convertible Securities
subject to such Repurchase Event (any such notice, a “Convertible Securities Repurchase Notice”).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, the receipt by Dealer from Counterparty of (1) any Convertible
Securities Repurchase Notice, and (2) in the case of any Convertible Securities Repurchase Notice described in clause (y)
above, a written representation and warranty by Counterparty that, as of the date of such Convertible Securities Repurchase
Notice, Counterparty is not in possession of any material nonpublic information regarding Counterparty or the Shares, in each
case, within the applicable time period set forth in the preceding sentence, shall constitute an Additional Termination Event
as provided in this Section 8(b)(ii). Upon receipt of any such Convertible Securities Repurchase Notice and the related
written representation and warranty, Dealer shall promptly designate an Exchange Business Day following receipt of such
Convertible Securities Repurchase Notice (which in no event shall be earlier than the related repurchase date for such
Convertible Securities) as an Early Termination Date with respect to the portion of this Transaction corresponding to a
number of Options (the “Repurchase Options”) equal to the lesser of (A) the number of such Convertible
Securities specified in such Convertible Securities Repurchase Notice and (B) the Number of Options as of the date Dealer
designates such Early Termination Date and, as of such date, the Number of Options shall be reduced by the number of
Repurchase Options. Any payment hereunder with respect to such termination shall be calculated pursuant to Section 6 of the
Agreement as if (1) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to this
Transaction and a Number of Options equal to the number of Repurchase Options, (2) Counterparty were the sole Affected Party
with respect to such Additional Termination Event and (3) the terminated portion of the Transaction were the sole Affected
Transaction. “Repurchase Event” means that (i) any Convertible Securities are repurchased or redeemed
(whether pursuant to Section 4.02 or Section 4.03 of the Indenture or otherwise) by
Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries (including in connection with, or as a result of, a Fundamental Change (as defined in
the Indenture), a tender offer, exchange offer or similar transaction or for any other reason), (ii) any Convertible
Securities are delivered to Counterparty in exchange for delivery of any property or assets of Counterparty or any of its
subsidiaries (howsoever described), (iii) any principal of any of the Convertible Securities is repaid prior to the final
maturity date of the Convertible Securities, or (iv) any Convertible Securities are exchanged by or for the benefit of the
“Holders” (as such term is defined in the Indenture) thereof for any other securities of Counterparty or any of
its affiliates (or any other property, or any combination thereof) pursuant to any exchange offer or similar transaction. For
the avoidance of doubt, any conversion of Convertible Securities (whether into cash, Shares, “Reference Property”
(as defined in the Indenture) or any combination thereof) pursuant to the terms of the Indenture shall not constitute a
Repurchase Event. Counterparty acknowledges and agrees that if an Additional Termination Event has occurred under this
Section 8(b)(ii), then any related Convertible Securities subject to a Repurchase Event will be deemed to be cancelled and
disregarded and no longer outstanding for all purposes hereunder.

(iii)             
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, upon any Early Conversion in respect of which the relevant
converting “Holder” (as such term is defined in the Indenture) has satisfied the requirements to conversion set forth
in Section 5.02(A) of the Indenture:


 


		(A)	Counterparty may, as promptly as practicable (but in any event within five Scheduled Trading Days of the “Conversion
Date” (as defined in the Indenture) for such Early Conversion), provide written notice (an “Early Conversion Notice”)
to Dealer specifying the number of Convertible Securities surrendered for conversion on such Conversion Date (such Convertible
Securities, the “Affected Convertible Securities”), and the giving of such Early Conversion Notice shall constitute
an Additional Termination Event as provided in this Section 8(b)(iii); provided that any such Early Conversion Notice shall
contain a written acknowledgement by Counterparty of its responsibilities under applicable securities laws, and in particular Section
9 and Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, in respect of the delivery of such Early Conversion
Notice;



 


		(B)	upon receipt of any such Early Conversion Notice, within a commercially reasonable period of time thereafter, Dealer shall
designate an Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date (which Exchange Business Day shall be on or as promptly as reasonably
practicable after the related settlement date for such Affected Convertible Securities) with respect to the portion of the Transaction
corresponding to a number of Options (the “Affected Number of Options”) equal to the lesser of (x) the number
of Affected Convertible Securities and (y) the Number of Options as of the “Conversion Date” (as defined in the Indenture)
for such Early Conversion;



 


		(C)	any payment hereunder with respect to such termination shall be calculated pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (x)
an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Transaction and a Number
of Options equal to the Affected Number of Options, (y) Counterparty were the sole Affected Party with respect to such Additional
Termination Event and (z) the terminated portion of the Transaction were the sole Affected Transaction;



 


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



 


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

(c)                
Alternative Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events. If (a) an Early Termination
Date (whether as a result of an Event of Default or a Termination Event) occurs or is designated with respect to the Transaction
or (b) the Transaction is cancelled or terminated upon the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event (except as a result of (i) a Nationalization,
Insolvency or Merger Event in which the consideration to be paid to all holders of Shares consists solely of cash, (ii) a Merger
Event or Tender Offer that is within Counterparty’s control, or (iii) an Event of Default in which Counterparty is the Defaulting
Party or a Termination Event in which Counterparty is the Affected Party other than an Event of Default of the type described in
Section 5(a)(iii), (v), (vi), (vii) or (viii) of the Agreement or a Termination Event of the type described in Section 5(b) of
the Agreement, in each case that resulted from an event or events outside Counterparty’s control), and if Dealer would owe
any amount to Counterparty pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) and 6(e) of the Agreement (any such amount, a “Payment Obligation”),
then Dealer shall satisfy the Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative (as defined below) unless (a) Counterparty
gives irrevocable telephonic notice to Dealer, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day, no later than 12:00 p.m.
(New York City time) on the Merger Date, Tender Offer Date, Announcement Date (in the case of a Nationalization, Insolvency or
Delisting), Early Termination Date or date of cancellation, as applicable, of its election that the Share Termination Alternative
shall not apply, (b) as of the date of such election, Counterparty represents that is not in possession of any material non-public
information regarding Counterparty or the Shares, and that such election is being made in good faith and not as part of a plan
or scheme to evade compliance with the federal securities laws, and (c) Dealer agrees, in its sole discretion, to such election,
in which case the provisions of Section 6(d)(ii) and 6(e) of the Agreement, as the case may be, shall apply.


 


	Share Termination Alternative:	If applicable, means that Dealer shall deliver to Counterparty the Share Termination Delivery Property on the date on which the Payment Obligation would otherwise be due pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement or such later date or dates as Dealer may commercially reasonably determine (the “Share Termination Payment Date”) taking into account commercially reasonable hedging or hedge unwind activity, in satisfaction of the Payment Obligation.
	Share Termination Delivery	 
	Property:	A number of Share Termination Delivery Units, as calculated by the Calculation Agent in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, equal to the Payment Obligation divided by the Share Termination Unit Price.  The Calculation Agent shall, in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, adjust the Share Termination Delivery Property by replacing any fractional portion of the aggregate amount 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 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 a commercially reasonable manner and notified by the Calculation Agent to Dealer at the time of notification of the Payment Obligation.

	Share Termination Delivery Unit:	In the case of a Termination Event (other than on account of an Insolvency, Nationalization or Merger Event), Event of Default, Delisting or Additional Disruption Event, one Share or, in the case of an Insolvency, Nationalization or Merger Event, one Share or a unit consisting of the number or amount of each type of property received by a holder of one Share (without consideration of any requirement to pay cash or other consideration in lieu of fractional amounts of any securities) in such Insolvency, Nationalization or Merger Event, as applicable.  If such Insolvency, Nationalization or Merger Event involves a choice of consideration to be received by holders, such holder shall be deemed to have elected to receive the maximum possible amount of cash.
	Failure to Deliver:	Applicable
	Other Applicable Provisions:	If Share Termination Alternative is applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9 and 9.11 of the Equity Definitions will be applicable as if “Physical Settlement” applied to the Transaction, except that all references to “Shares” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Delivery Units”; provided that the Representation and Agreement contained in Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions shall be modified by excluding any representations therein relating to restrictions, obligations, limitations or requirements under applicable securities laws as a result of the fact that Counterparty is the issuer of any Share Termination Delivery Units (or any part thereof).


 


(d)               
Disposition of Hedge Shares. Counterparty hereby agrees that if, in the good faith reasonable judgment of Dealer,
based on the advice of counsel, the Shares (the “Hedge Shares”) acquired by Dealer for the purpose of hedging
its obligations pursuant to the Transaction in a commercially reasonable manner cannot be sold in the U.S. public market by Dealer
without registration under the Securities Act, Counterparty shall, at its election: (i) in order to allow Dealer to sell the Hedge
Shares in a registered offering, make available to Dealer an effective registration statement under the Securities Act to cover
the resale of such Hedge Shares and (A) enter into an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Dealer, substantially
in the form of an underwriting agreement for a registered offering, (B) provide accountant’s “comfort” letters
in customary form for registered offerings of equity securities, (C) provide disclosure opinions of nationally recognized outside
counsel to Counterparty reasonably acceptable to Dealer, (D) provide other customary opinions, certificates and closing documents
customary in form for registered offerings of equity securities and (E) afford Dealer a reasonable opportunity to conduct a “due
diligence” investigation with respect to Counterparty customary in scope for underwritten offerings of equity securities
(in all cases of (A)-(E) above, as would be usual and customary for offerings for companies of similar size and industry); provided
that if Counterparty elects clause (i) above but the items referred to therein are not completed in a timely manner, or if Dealer,
in its sole reasonable discretion, is not satisfied with access to due diligence materials, the results of its due diligence investigation,
or the procedures and documentation for the registered offering referred to above, then clause (ii) or clause (iii) of this Section
8(d) shall apply at the election of Counterparty; (ii) in order to allow Dealer to sell the Hedge Shares in a private placement,
enter into a private placement agreement substantially similar to private placement purchase agreements customary for private placements
of equity securities of similar size and industry, in form and substance commercially reasonably satisfactory to Dealer, including
customary representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to Dealer, due
diligence rights (for Dealer or any designated buyer of the Hedge Shares from Dealer), and best efforts obligations to provide
opinions and certificates and such other documentation as is customary for private placements agreements for transactions of similar
size and type, as is commercially reasonably acceptable to Dealer (in which case, the Calculation Agent shall make any adjustments
to the terms of the Transaction that are necessary, in its good faith, commercially reasonable judgment, to compensate Dealer for
any commercially reasonable discount from the public market price of the Shares incurred on the sale of Hedge Shares in a private
placement); or (iii) purchase the Hedge Shares from Dealer at the then-current market price on such Exchange Business Days, and
in the amounts and at such time(s), commercially reasonably requested by Dealer. This Section 8(d) shall survive the termination,
expiration or early unwind of the Transaction.

(e)                 Repurchase
and Conversion Rate Adjustment Notices. Counterparty shall, at least two Scheduled Trading Days prior to any day on which
Counterparty effects any repurchase of Shares or consummates or otherwise engages in any transaction or event (a
“Conversion Rate Adjustment Event”) that could reasonably be expected to lead to an increase in the
“Conversion Rate” (as defined in the Indenture), give Dealer a written notice of such repurchase or Conversion
Rate Adjustment Event (a “Repurchase Notice”) if, following such repurchase or Conversion Rate Adjustment
Event, the Notice Percentage would reasonably be expected to be (i) greater than 9.50% and (ii) greater by 0.50% than the
Notice Percentage included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice (or, in the case of the first such Repurchase
Notice, greater than the Notice Percentage as of the date hereof). The “Notice Percentage” as of any day
is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is the Number of Shares plus the number of Shares
underlying any other convertible bond hedge transactions or similar call options sold by Dealer to Counterparty and the
denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day. In the event that Counterparty fails to provide Dealer
with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this Section 8(e) then Counterparty agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless Dealer, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons
(Dealer and each such person being an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all commercially
reasonable losses (including losses relating to the Dealer’s commercially reasonable hedging activities as a
consequence of becoming, or of the risk of becoming, a Section 16 “insider”, including without limitation, any
forbearance from hedging activities or cessation of hedging activities and any losses in connection therewith with respect to
this Transaction), claims, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), joint or several, to which such
Indemnified Party may become subject under applicable securities laws, including without limitation, Section 16 of the
Exchange Act or under any state or federal law, regulation or regulatory order, relating to or arising out of such failure.
If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold harmless any
Indemnified Party, then Counterparty shall contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to the amount paid or payable
by the Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability. In addition, Counterparty will reimburse any
Indemnified Party for all commercially reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including commercially reasonable counsel fees and
expenses) as they are incurred (after notice to Counterparty) in connection with the investigation of, preparation for or
defense or settlement of any pending or threatened claim or any action, suit or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not
such Indemnified Party is a party thereto and whether or not such claim, action, suit or proceeding is initiated or brought
by or on behalf of Counterparty. This indemnity shall survive the completion of the Transaction contemplated by this
Confirmation and any assignment and delegation of the Transaction made pursuant to this Confirmation or the Agreement and
shall inure to the benefit of any permitted assignee of Dealer.

(f)                 
Transfer and Assignment.


 


(i)                  Either
party may transfer or assign any of its rights or obligations under the Transaction with the prior written consent of the
non-transferring party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that Dealer may transfer or
assign without any consent of Counterparty its rights and obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, to any person, or any
person whose obligations would be guaranteed by a person, in either case, with a rating (i) for its long-term, unsecured and
unsubordinated indebtedness at least equivalent to Dealer’s (or its ultimate parent’s) or (ii) that is no lower
than A3 from Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. (or its successor) or A- from Standard and Poor’s Rating Group, Inc.
(or its successor); provided further that, at the time of such transfer or assignment either (x) both the Dealer and
transferee or assignee in any such transfer or assignment are a “dealer in securities” within the meaning of
Section 475(c) (1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or (y) the transfer or
assignment does not result in a deemed exchange by Counterparty within the meaning of Section 1001 of the Code. In the event
of any such transfer or assignment, the transferee or assignee shall agree that (i) Counterparty shall not be required to pay
the transferee or assignee under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement any amount greater than the amount Counterparty would
have been required to pay to Dealer in the absence of such transfer or assignment and (ii) Counterparty shall not receive
from the transferee or assignee any amount or number of Shares less than it would have been entitled to receive in the
absence of such transfer or assignment. If at any time at which (1) the Equity Percentage exceeds 8.0% or (2) Dealer, Dealer
Group (as defined below) or any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Dealer or Dealer Group
(Dealer, Dealer Group or any such person, a “Dealer Person”) under Section 203 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law or other federal, state or local law, rule, regulation or regulatory order or organizational documents or
contracts of Counterparty applicable to ownership of Shares (“Applicable Restrictions”), owns,
beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of
ownership in excess of a number of Shares equal to (x) the number of Shares that would give rise to reporting, registration,
filing or notification obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval by a state or federal regulator,
but excluding reporting obligations arising under Section 13 of the Exchange Act as in effect on the Trade Date) of a Dealer
Person under Applicable Restrictions and with respect to which such requirements have not been met or the relevant approval
has not been received, or that would have any other adverse effect on a Dealer Person, under Applicable Restrictions minus
(y) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding on the date of determination (either such condition described in clause (1) or
(2), an “Excess Ownership Position”), Dealer, in its discretion, is unable to effect a transfer or
assignment to a third party after its commercially reasonable efforts on pricing and terms and within a time period
reasonably acceptable to Dealer such that an Excess Ownership Position no longer exists, Dealer may designate any Scheduled
Trading Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion (the “Terminated Portion”) of the
Transaction, such that an Excess Ownership Position would no longer exist following the resulting partial termination of the
Transaction (after taking into account commercially reasonable adjustments to Dealer’s commercially reasonable Hedge
Positions from such partial termination). In the event that Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a
portion of the Transaction, a payment or delivery shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement or Section 8(c) of
this Confirmation as if (i) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical
to the Terminated Portion of the Transaction, (ii) Counterparty were the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial
termination, (iii) such portion of the Transaction were the only Terminated Transaction and (iv) Dealer were the party
entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement and to determine the amount payable
pursuant to Section 6(e) of the Agreement. The “Equity Percentage” as of any day is the fraction,
expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Dealer and any of its affiliates or any
other person subject to aggregation with Dealer for purposes of the “beneficial ownership” test under Section 13
of the Exchange Act, or any “group” (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act) of which Dealer is or
may be deemed to be a part (collectively, “Dealer Group”) beneficially owns (within the meaning of Section
13 of the Exchange Act), without duplication, on such day (or, to the extent that for any reason the equivalent calculation
under Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder results in a higher number, such higher number)
and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day. In the case of a transfer or assignment by
Counterparty of its rights and obligations hereunder and under the Agreement, in whole or in part (any such Options so
transferred or assigned, the “Transfer Options”), to any party, withholding of such consent by Dealer
shall not be considered unreasonable if such transfer or assignment does not meet the reasonable conditions that Dealer may
impose including, but not limited, to the following conditions:


 






    Page 20 of 28


     


    

 


		(A)	With respect to any Transfer Options, Counterparty shall not be released from its notice and indemnification obligations pursuant
to Section 8(e) or any obligations under Section 2 (regarding Extraordinary Events) or 8(d) of this Confirmation;



 


		(B)	Any Transfer Options shall only be transferred or assigned to a third party that is a United States person (as defined in the
Code);



 


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



 


		(D)	Dealer shall not, as a result of such transfer and assignment, be required to pay the transferee on any payment date an
                                                               amount under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement greater than an amount that Dealer would have
been required to pay to Counterparty in the absence of such
transfer and assignment;





 


		(E)	Dealer shall not, as a result of such transfer or assignment, receive from the transferee or assignee any amount or number
of Shares less than it would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such transfer or assignment;



 


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



 


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



 


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

(ii)               
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell,
receive or deliver any Shares or other securities, or make or receive any payment in cash, to or from Counterparty, Dealer may
designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities, or to make or receive such
payment in cash, and otherwise to perform Dealer’s obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume
such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty solely to the extent of any such performance.


 


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


 


(i)                 
in such notice, Dealer will specify to Counterparty the related Staggered Settlement Dates (each of which will be on or
prior to such Nominal Settlement Date) and the number of Shares that it will deliver on each Staggered Settlement Date;


 


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


 


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


 


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


 






    Page 22 of 28


     


    

 


(i)                 
No Netting and Set-off. The provisions of Section 2(c) of the Agreement shall not apply to the Transaction. Each
party waives any and all rights it may have to set-off delivery or payment obligations it owes to the other party under the Transaction
against any delivery or payment obligations owed to it by the other party, whether arising under the Agreement, under any other
agreement between parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise.


 


(j)                 
Equity Rights. Dealer acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to convey to it rights with
respect to the Transaction that are senior to the claims of common stockholders in the event of Counterparty’s bankruptcy.
For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that the preceding sentence shall not apply at any time other than during Counterparty’s
bankruptcy to any claim arising as a result of a breach by Counterparty of any of its obligations under this Confirmation or the
Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that the obligations of Counterparty under this Confirmation are
not secured by any collateral that would otherwise secure the obligations of Counterparty herein under or pursuant to any other
agreement.


 


(k)               
Early Unwind. In the event the sale by Counterparty of the Base Convertible Securities is not consummated pursuant
to the Purchase Agreement for any reason by the close of business in New York on April 23, 2020 (or such later date as agreed upon
by the parties) (April 23, 2020 or such later date being the “Early Unwind Date”), the Transaction shall automatically
terminate (the “Early Unwind”) on the Early Unwind Date and the Transaction and all of the respective rights
and obligations of Dealer and Counterparty hereunder shall be cancelled and terminated. Following such termination and cancellation,
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 either party arising out of, and to be performed in connection with, the Transaction
either prior to or after the Early Unwind Date. Dealer and Counterparty represent and acknowledge to the other that upon an Early
Unwind, all obligations with respect to the Transaction shall be deemed fully and finally discharged.


 


(l)                 
Agreements and Acknowledgements Regarding Hedging. Counterparty understands, acknowledges and agrees that: (A) at
any time on and prior to the Expiration Date, Dealer and its affiliates may buy or sell Shares or other securities or buy or sell
options or futures contracts or enter into swaps or other derivative securities in order to adjust its hedge position with respect
to the Transaction; (B) Dealer and its affiliates also may be active in the market for Shares other than in connection with hedging
activities in relation to the Transaction; (C) Dealer shall make its own determination as to whether, when or in what manner any
hedging or market activities in securities of Issuer shall be conducted and shall do so in a manner that it deems appropriate to
hedge its price and market risk with respect to the “Daily VWAP” (as defined in the Indenture); (D) any market activities
of Dealer and its affiliates with respect to Shares may affect the market price and volatility of Shares, as well as the “Daily
VWAP” (as defined in the Indenture), each in a manner that may be adverse to Counterparty; and (E) the Transaction is a derivatives
transaction in which it has granted Dealer an option, and Dealer may purchase shares for its own account at an average price that
may be greater than, or less than, the price paid by Counterparty under the terms of the Transaction.


 


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

(n)               
Governing Law; Exclusive Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury.




 


(i)                 
THE AGREEMENT, THIS CONFIRMATION AND ALL MATTERS ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THE AGREEMENT AND THIS CONFIRMATION SHALL
BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CHOICE
OF LAW DOCTRINE, OTHER THAN TITLE 14 OF ARTICLE 5 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW).


 


(ii)               
Section 13(b) of the Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following:


 


“Each party hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally submits for itself and its property in any suit, legal action or proceeding relating to this Confirmation or
the Agreement, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, (each, “Proceedings”) to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, sitting in New York County, the courts of the United States
of America for the Southern District of New York and appellate courts from any thereof. Nothing in this Confirmation or the Agreement
precludes either party from bringing Proceedings in any other jurisdiction if (A) the courts of the State of New York or the United
States of America for the Southern District of New York lack jurisdiction over the parties or the subject matter of the Proceedings
or decline to accept the Proceedings on the grounds of lacking such jurisdiction; (B) the Proceedings are commenced by a party
for the purpose of enforcing against the other party’s property, assets or estate any decision or judgment rendered by any
court in which Proceedings may be brought as provided hereunder; (C) the Proceedings are commenced to appeal any such court’s
decision or judgment to any higher court with competent appellate jurisdiction over that court’s decisions or judgments if
that higher court is located outside the State of New York or Borough of Manhattan, such as a federal court of appeals or the U.S.
Supreme Court; or (D) any suit, action or proceeding has been commenced in another jurisdiction by or against the other party or
against its property, assets or estate and, in order to exercise or protect its rights, interests or remedies under this Confirmation
or the Agreement, the party (1) joins, files a claim, or takes any other action, in any such suit, action or proceeding, or (2)
otherwise commences any Proceeding in that other jurisdiction as the result of that other suit, action or proceeding having commenced
in that other jurisdiction.”


 


(iii)             
EACH OF COUNTERPARTY AND DEALER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES (ON ITS OWN BEHALF AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW, ON BEHALF OF ITS STOCKHOLDERS) ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT,
TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS CONFIRMATION OR THE AGREEMENT.


 


(o)               
Amendment. This Confirmation and the Agreement may not be modified, amended or supplemented, except in a written
instrument signed by Counterparty and Dealer.


 


(p)               
Counterparts. This Confirmation may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original
but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.


 


(q)               
Tax Matters. For purposes of Sections 4(a)(i) and (ii) of the Agreement, Counterparty agrees to deliver to Dealer
one duly executed and completed United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or successor thereto) and Dealer shall provide
to Counterparty one duly executed and completed United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E (or successor thereto). Such
forms shall be delivered upon (i) execution and delivery of this Confirmation, (ii) promptly upon reasonable request of the other
party and (iii) promptly upon learning that any such form previously provided by the other party has become obsolete or incorrect.


 


(r)                  Withholding
Tax with Respect to Non-US Counterparties. “Indemnifiable Tax” as defined in Section 14 of the Agreement
shall not include (i) any U.S. federal withholding tax imposed or collected pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the
Code, any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section
1471(b) of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental
agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such Sections of the Code (a “FATCA Withholding
Tax”) or (ii) any U.S. federal withholding tax imposed on amounts treated as dividends from sources within the
United States under Section 871(m) of the Code (or any Treasury regulations or other guidance issued thereunder). For the
avoidance of doubt, a FATCA Withholding Tax is a Tax the deduction or withholding of which is required by applicable law for
the purposes of Section 2(d) of the Agreement.

(s)                
Payee Tax Representations. For the purpose of Section 3(f) of the Agreement, the parties make the representations
below:


 


(i)                 
 Dealer is organized under the laws of the United States and it is “exempt” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation
sections 1.6041-3(p) and 1.6049-4(c) from information reporting on IRS Form 1099 and backup withholding.


 


(ii)               
 Counterparty is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is organized under the laws of the United States.
It is “exempt” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation sections 1.6041-3(p) and 1.6049-4(c) from information reporting
on IRS Form 1099 and backup withholding.


 


(t)                 
Amendment to Equity Definitions.


 


(i)                 
Solely in respect of adjustments to the Cap Price pursuant to Section 8(u):


 


		(1)	Section 11.2(e)(v) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by adding the phrase “, provided that, notwithstanding
this Section 11.2(e)(v), the parties hereto agree that, with respect to the Transaction, the following repurchases of
Shares by the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries shall not be considered Potential Adjustment Events: any repurchases of Shares
in open-market transactions at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated accelerated Share repurchase (or similar) transactions
that are entered into at prevailing market prices and in accordance with customary market terms for transactions of such type to
repurchase the Shares, in each case, to the extent that, after giving effect to such transactions, the aggregate number of Shares
repurchased during the term of the Transaction pursuant to all transactions described in this proviso would not exceed 20% of the
number of Shares outstanding as of the Trade Date, as determined by the Calculation Agent” at the end of such Section.



 


		(2)	Section 11.2(e)(vii) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the words “that may have a diluting or concentrative
effect on the theoretical value of the relevant Shares” and replacing them with the words “that is the result of a
corporate event involving the Issuer or its securities that has, in the commercially reasonable judgment of the Calculation Agent,
a material economic effect on the Shares or options on the Shares; provided that such event is not based on (a) an observable
market, other than the market for the Counterparty’s own stock or (b) an observable index, other than an index calculated
and measured solely by reference to Counterparty’s own operations.”



 


		(3)	Section 12.1(d) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by replacing “10%” with “20%”.



 


(ii)                Section
12.9(b)(i) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by replacing “either party may elect” with “Dealer
may elect or, if Counterparty represents to Dealer in writing at the time of such election that (i) it is not aware of any
material nonpublic information with respect to Counterparty or the Shares and (ii) it is not making such election as part of
a plan or scheme to evade compliance with the U.S. federal securities laws, Counterparty may elect.”

(u)               
Other Adjustments Pursuant to the Equity Definitions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement,
the Equity Definitions or this Confirmation, upon the occurrence of a Merger Date, the occurrence of a Tender Offer Date, or declaration
by Counterparty of the terms of any Potential Adjustment Event, the Calculation Agent shall determine in good faith and in a commercially
reasonable manner whether such occurrence or declaration, as applicable, has had a material economic effect on the Transaction
and, if so, shall, in its good faith and commercially reasonable discretion, adjust the Cap Price to preserve the fair value of
the Options taking into account, for the avoidance of doubt, such economic effect on both the Strike Price and Cap Price (provided
that in no event shall the Cap Price be less than the Strike Price; provided further that any adjustment to the Cap Price
made pursuant to this Section 8(u) shall be made without duplication of any other adjustment hereunder) and that such adjustments
may be made to account solely for changes in volatility, expected dividends, interest rates, stock loan rate or liquidity relative
to the relevant Shares). Solely for purposes of this Section 8(u), the terms “Potential Adjustment Event,” “Merger
Event,” and “Tender Offer” shall each have the meanings assigned to each such term in the Equity Definitions
(as amended by Section 8(t)(i)).


 


(v)               
Notice of Certain Other Events. (A) Counterparty shall give Dealer commercially reasonable advance (but in no event
less than one Exchange Business Day) written notice of the section or sections of the Indenture and, if applicable, the formula
therein, pursuant to which any adjustment will be made to the Convertible Securities in connection with any Potential Adjustment
Event, Merger Event or Tender Offer and (B) promptly following any such adjustment, Counterparty shall give Dealer written notice
of the details of such adjustment.


 


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

the extent that prior to the date hereof the parties have executed a separate agreement the effect of which is to amend the

each party shall be deemed to have the status of “Covered Entity” or “Counterparty Entity” (or other
similar term) as applicable to it under the Bilateral Agreement; or (iii) if clause (i) and clause (ii) do not apply, the
terms of Section 1 and Section 2 and the related defined terms (together, the “Bilateral Terms”) of the

contracts between the parties thereto to conform with the requirements of the QFC Stay Rules, are hereby incorporated into
and form a part of this Confirmation, and for such purposes this Confirmation shall be deemed a “Covered
Agreement,” Dealer shall be deemed a “Covered Entity” and Counterparty shall be deemed a
“Counterparty Entity.” In the event that, after the date of this Confirmation, both parties hereto become
adhering parties to the Protocol, the terms of the Protocol will replace the terms of this paragraph. In the event of any
inconsistencies between this Confirmation and the terms of the Protocol, the Bilateral Agreement or the Bilateral Terms
(each, the “QFC Stay Terms”), as applicable, the QFC Stay Terms will govern. Terms used in this paragraph
without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them under the QFC Stay Rules. For purposes of this paragraph,
references to “this Confirmation” include any related credit enhancements entered into between the parties or
provided by one to the other. In addition, the parties agree that the terms of this paragraph shall be incorporated into any
related covered affiliate credit enhancements, with all references to Dealer replaced by references to the covered affiliate
