otherwise in writing. The Transaction is subject to early unwind if the closing of the Convertible Securities is not consummated for any reason, as set forth below in Section 8(k).

 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 1992 ISDA Master Agreement (Multicurrency—Cross Border) 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 Loss and Second Method and US Dollars (“USD”) as the Termination Currency, and (ii) the replacement of the word “third” in
the last line of Section 5(a)(i) of the Agreement with the word “first”. In addition, Section 5(a)(i) of the Agreement shall be amended by adding at the end of such section the following: “Notwithstanding the foregoing, a
default under this Section 5(a)(i) 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 between this Confirmation
and either the Definitions or the Agreement, this Confirmation shall govern. 
 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.

Days” (as defined in the Indenture) in the relevant “Cash Settlement Averaging Period” (as defined in the Indenture), and representing an aggregate number of Shares and/or amount of cash, with respect to each such “VWAP Trading
Day” (as defined in the Indenture) equal to:
		
		  	(i) if the “Cash Percentage” (as defined in the Indenture) is not specified in the Notice of Exercise or is equal to 0%, a number of Shares, if any, equal to the
product of (a) the Applicable Percentage and (b) the “Maximum Daily Deliverable Shares” (as defined in the Indenture), if any, with respect to such “VWAP Trading Day” (as defined in the Indenture), with such number of Shares
rounded down to the nearest whole number;

product of (a) the Applicable Percentage and (b) the aggregate amount of cash, if any, in excess of USD 25.00 per Relevant Convertible Security that


  
 6 









			
		  	Counterparty would be obligated to deliver in lieu of the “Maximum Daily Deliverable Shares” (as defined in the Indenture) with respect to such “VWAP Trading
Day” (as defined in the Indenture); or
		
		  	(iii) if the “Cash Percentage” (as defined in the Indenture) specified in the Notice of Exercise is less than 100% but greater than 0%, (a) a number of Shares, if
any, equal to the product of (x) the Applicable Percentage, (y) the “Maximum Daily Deliverable Shares” (as defined in the Indenture), if any, with respect to such “VWAP Trading Day” (as defined in the Indenture) and
(z) 100% minus the “Cash Percentage” (as defined in the Indenture) specified in such Notice of Exercise, with such number of Shares rounded down to the nearest whole number, and (b) an amount of cash, if any, in USD, equal
to the product of (x) the Applicable Percentage and (y) the aggregate amount of cash, if any, in excess of USD 25.00 per Relevant Convertible Security that Counterparty would be obligated to deliver in lieu of the “Maximum Daily
Deliverable Shares” (as defined in the Indenture) with respect to such “VWAP Trading Day” (as defined in the Indenture) if the “Cash Percentage” (as defined in the Indenture) were equal to 0% and (z) the “Cash
Percentage” (as defined in the Indenture) specified in such Notice of Exercise; and
		
		  	(iv) an amount of cash, if any, in USD, in lieu of any fractional Shares resulting from rounding down such aggregate number of Shares valued at the “Daily VWAP” (as
defined in the Indenture) on the last “VWAP Trading Day” (as defined in the Indenture) of the relevant “Cash Settlement Averaging Period” (as defined in the Indenture) (collectively, the “Convertible
Obligation”); provided, that the Delivery Obligation shall be determined excluding any Shares and/or cash that Counterparty is obligated to deliver to holder(s) of the Relevant Convertible Securities as a result of any adjustments to
the Conversion Rate pursuant to a Fundamental Change Adjustment or a Discretionary Adjustment and any interest payment that Counterparty is (or would have been) obligated to deliver to holder(s) of the Relevant Convertible Securities for such
Conversion Date; provided, further, that if such exercise relates to the conversion of Relevant Convertible Securities in connection with which holder(s) thereof are entitled to receive additional Shares and/or cash pursuant to a
Fundamental Change Adjustment, then, notwithstanding the foregoing, the number of “Maximum Daily Deliverable Shares” (as defined in the Indenture) used to calculate the portion of the Delivery Obligation corresponding to any “VWAP
Trading Day” (as defined in the Indenture) in the


  
 7 









			
		  	relevant “Cash Settlement Averaging Period” (as defined in the Indenture) for the Relevant Convertible Securities shall include any “Additional Shares” (as
defined in the Indenture) added to the “Conversion Rate” (as defined in the Indenture) pursuant to the Fundamental Change Adjustment, except that the Delivery Obligation shall be capped so that the value of the Delivery Obligation per
Option (with the value of any Shares included in the Delivery Obligation determined by the Calculation Agent using the “Daily VWAP” (as defined in the Indenture) on the last “VWAP Trading Day” (as defined in the Indenture) of the
relevant “Cash Settlement Averaging Period” (as defined in the Indenture)) does not exceed the amount as determined by the Calculation Agent that would be payable by Dealer pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement if such Conversion Date
were an Early Termination Date resulting from an Additional Termination Event with respect to which the Transaction was the sole Affected Transaction and Counterparty was the sole Affected Party (determined without regard to Section 8(c) of this
Confirmation) (except that, for purposes of determining such amount, (x) the Number of Options shall be deemed to be equal to the number of Options exercised on such Exercise Date and (y) such amount payable will be determined as if the
Fundamental Change Adjustment provisions were deleted from the Indenture). For the avoidance of doubt, if the “Daily Conversion Value” (as defined in the Indenture) for any “VWAP Trading Day” (as defined in the Indenture)
occurring in the relevant “Cash Settlement Averaging Period” (as defined in the Indenture) is less than or equal to USD 25.00, Dealer will have no delivery obligation hereunder in respect of the related Exercise Date for such “VWAP
Trading Day” (as defined in the Indenture).
		
	 Notice of Delivery Obligation:
	  	No later than the Exchange Business Day immediately following the last “VWAP Trading Day” (as defined in the Indenture) of the relevant “Cash Settlement Averaging
Period” (as defined in the Indenture), Counterparty shall give Dealer notice of the final number of Shares and/or amount of cash comprising the relevant Convertible Obligation; provided that, with respect to any Exercise Date occurring
during the Final Conversion Period, Counterparty may provide Dealer with a single notice of the aggregate number of Shares and/or amount of cash comprising the Convertible Obligations for all Exercise Dates occurring during such period (it being
understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that the requirement of Counterparty to deliver such notice shall not limit Counterparty’s obligations with respect to Notice of Exercise, as set forth above, in any way).


  
 8 









			
	 Other Applicable Provisions:
	  	To the extent Dealer is obligated to deliver Shares hereunder, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.10, 9.11 and 9.12 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. With respect to such certificated Shares, the Representation and Agreement contained in Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions shall be modified by deleting the remainder of the
provision after the word “encumbrance” in the fourth line thereof.

Indenture), Counterparty shall notify the Calculation Agent of such Adjustment Event; and once the adjustments to be made to the terms of the Indenture and the Convertible Securities in respect of such Adjustment Event have been determined,
Counterparty shall promptly notify the Calculation Agent in writing of the details of such adjustments.

to the exercise, settlement or payment of the Transaction; provided that such adjustment shall be made without regard to any adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to a Fundamental Change Adjustment or a Discretionary Adjustment; and
provided further that the Calculation Agent shall limit or alter any such adjustment referenced in this paragraph so that the fair value of


  
 9 









			
		  	the Transaction to Dealer immediately prior to the occurrence of such Merger Event is not reduced as a result of such adjustment; and provided further that if, with
respect to a Merger Event, the consideration for the Shares includes (or, at the option of a holder of Shares, may include) shares of an entity or person not organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of
Columbia, the Calculation Agent may make adjustments to the Transaction, or request that Counterparty make Dealer whole, for any additional costs resulting from such Merger Event with respect to incremental Tax costs reasonably incurred by Dealer or
changes to the Hedge Positions maintained by Dealer.

	  	Upon the occurrence 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), Counterparty shall reasonably promptly (but in any event prior to the relevant Merger Date) notify the Calculation Agent of (i) the type and amount of consideration that a holder of Shares would have been entitled to
in the case of reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales or transfers of assets or other transactions that cause Shares to be converted into the right to receive more than a single type of consideration, (ii) the weighted average of the
types and amounts of consideration to be received by the holders of Shares that affirmatively make such an election (or if no holders of Shares affirmatively make such an election, the types and amount of consideration actually received by such
holders), and (iii) the details of the adjustment to be made under the Indenture in respect of such Merger Event.

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 such exchange or quotation system, such exchange or quotation system shall thereafter be deemed to be the Exchange.
		
	 Additional Termination Event(s):
	  	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Equity Definitions, if, as a result of an Extraordinary Event, any Transaction would be cancelled or terminated (whether in whole
or in part) pursuant to Article 12 of the Equity Definitions, an Additional


  
 10 










			
		  	Termination Event (with such terminated Transaction(s) (or portions thereof) being the Affected Transaction(s) and Counterparty being the sole Affected Party) shall be deemed to

Representations, Warranties and Agreements: 
 (a) In addition to the representations and warranties in the Agreement and
those contained elsewhere herein, Counterparty represents and warrants to and for the benefit of, and agrees with, Dealer as follows: 
 (i) On the Trade Date and as of the date of any election by Counterparty of the Share Termination Alternative under (and as defined in) Section 8(c) below, (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. 

  
 13 









 (ii) 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 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s

Section 3(a)(iii) of the Agreement, the Transaction will not violate Rule 13e-1 or Rule 13e-4 under the Exchange Act. 
 (iv) Prior to the Trade Date, Counterparty shall deliver to Dealer a resolution of Counterparty’s board of directors authorizing the Transaction and such other certificate or certificates as Dealer
shall reasonably request. 
 (v) 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. 
 (vi) Counterparty is not, and after giving effect to the transactions
contemplated hereby will not be, required to register as, an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 

(vii) On each of the Trade Date and the Premium Payment Date, Counterparty is not “insolvent” (as such term is
defined under Section 101(32) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code) (the “Bankruptcy Code”)) and Counterparty would be able to purchase the Number of Shares plus the “Number of
Shares” under the Base Convertible Bond Hedge Transaction Confirmation in compliance with the laws of the jurisdiction of Counterparty’s incorporation. 

(viii) No state, local or foreign 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. 

(ix) The representations and warranties of Counterparty set forth in Section 3 of the Agreement and Section 1 of
the Underwriting Agreement, dated as of February 7, 2011, between Goldman, Sachs & Co., Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., as representatives of the several Underwriters listed in Schedule A thereto, and
Counterparty (the “Underwriting Agreement”) are true and correct as of the Trade Date and the Effective Date and are hereby deemed to be repeated to Dealer as if set forth herein. 

(b) Each of Dealer and Counterparty agrees and represents that it is an “eligible contract participant” as defined in
Section 1a(12) of the U.S. Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, and is entering into the Transaction as principal (and not as agent or in any other capacity, fiduciary or otherwise) and not for the benefit of any third party. 

(c) Each of Dealer and Counterparty acknowledges that the offer and sale of the Transaction to it is intended to be exempt from
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof. Accordingly, Counterparty represents and warrants to Dealer that (i) it has the financial ability to bear
the economic risk of its investment in the Transaction and is able to bear a total loss of its investment and its investments in and liabilities in respect of the Transaction, which it understands are not readily marketable, are not disproportionate
to its net worth, and it is able to bear any loss in connection with the Transaction, including the loss of its entire investment in the Transaction, (ii) it is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Regulation D as
promulgated under the Securities Act, (iii) it is entering into the Transaction for its own account and without a view to the distribution or resale thereof, (iv) the assignment, transfer or other disposition of the Transaction has not
been and will not be registered under the Securities Act and is restricted under this Confirmation, the Securities Act and state securities laws, and (v) its financial condition is such that it has no need for


  
 14 









 
liquidity with respect to its investment in the Transaction and no need to dispose of any portion thereof to satisfy any existing or contemplated undertaking or indebtedness and is capable of
assessing the merits of and understanding (on its own behalf or through independent professional advice), and understands and accepts, the terms, conditions and risks of the Transaction. 

(d) Each of Dealer and Counterparty agrees and acknowledges that Dealer 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 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 (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 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 “transfer” 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)(17), 362(b)(27), 362(o), 546(e), 546(g), 546(j), 548(d)(2), 555, 560 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code. 
 (e) As a condition to the effectiveness of the Transaction, Counterparty shall deliver to Dealer (i) an incumbency certificate, dated as of the Trade Date, of Counterparty in customary form and
(ii) an opinion of counsel, dated as of the Trade Date, and reasonably acceptable to Dealer in form and substance, with respect to with respect to matters set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) of Section 3(a) of the Agreement as
well as the execution and delivery of this Confirmation, limited to the U.S. federal and New York state law and subject to customary qualifications and exceptions. 
 (f) Without limiting the generality of Section 13.1 of the Equity Definitions, Counterparty understands that notwithstanding any other relationship between Counterparty and Dealer and its affiliates,
in connection with this Transaction and any other over-the-counter derivative transaction between Counterparty and Dealer and its affiliates, Dealer or its affiliate is acting as principal and not a fiduciary or advisor in respect of any such
transaction, including any entry, exercise, amendment, unwind or termination hereof or thereof. 
 (g) Role of
Agent. Each party agrees and acknowledges that (i) J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, an affiliate of Dealer (“JPMS”), has acted solely as agent and not as principal with respect to the Transaction and (ii) JPMS has no
obligation or liability, by way of guaranty, endorsement or otherwise, in any manner in respect of the Transaction (including, if applicable, in respect of the settlement thereof). Each party agrees it will look solely to the other party (or any
guarantor in respect thereof) for performance of such other party’s obligations under the Transaction. 
 8. Other
Provisions: 
 (a) Right to Extend. Dealer may postpone any Exercise Date or Settlement Date or any other date of
valuation or delivery by Dealer, with respect to some or all of the relevant Options (in which event the Calculation Agent shall make appropriate adjustments to the Delivery Obligation), if Dealer determines, in its reasonable discretion, that such
extension is necessary or advisable to preserve Dealer’s hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions in the cash market, the stock borrow market or other relevant market or to enable Dealer to effect
purchases of Shares or Share Termination Delivery Units in connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, based on advice of counsel, if Dealer were Counterparty or an affiliated purchaser of
Counterparty, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer. 
 (b) Additional Termination Events. The occurrence of (i) an event of default with respect to Counterparty under the terms of the Convertible Securities as set forth in Section 6.02 of the
Supplemental Indenture that results in an acceleration of the Convertible Securities pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, or (ii) an Amendment Event 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 

  
 15 









 
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.

 “Amendment Event” means that Counterparty amends, modifies, supplements or obtains a waiver in respect of
any term of the Indenture or the Convertible Securities governing the principal amount, maturity, number of shares issuable upon conversion, any term relating to conversion of the Convertible Securities (including changes to the conversion price,
conversion settlement dates or conversion conditions, in each case without the prior consent of Dealer, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 
 (c) Alternative Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events. If Dealer shall owe Counterparty any amount pursuant to Section 12.2 of the Equity
Definitions or “Consequences of Merger Events” above, or Section 12.6, 12.7 or 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (a “Payment Obligation”), Counterparty shall have the
right, in its sole discretion, to require Dealer to satisfy any such Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative (as defined below) by giving irrevocable telephonic notice to Dealer, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day,
no later than 9:30 A.M. New York City time on the relevant Merger Date, Announcement Date (as a result of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), Early Termination Date or date of cancellation or termination in respect of an Extraordinary
Event, as applicable (“Notice of Share Termination”); provided that if Counterparty does not elect to require Dealer to satisfy its Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative, Dealer shall have the right, in its
commercially reasonable discretion, to elect to satisfy its Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative, notwithstanding Counterparty’s failure to elect or election to the contrary; and provided further that Counterparty
shall not have the right to so elect (but, for the avoidance of doubt, Dealer shall have the right to so elect) in the event of (i) an Insolvency, a Nationalization or a Merger Event, in each case, in which the consideration or proceeds to be
paid to holders of Shares consists solely of cash or (ii) an Event of Default in which Counterparty is the Defaulting Party or a Termination Event in which Counterparty is the Affected Party, which Event of Default or Termination Event resulted
from an event or events within Counterparty’s control. Upon such Notice of Share Termination, the following provisions shall apply on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the relevant Merger Date, Announcement Date, Early Termination
Date or date of cancellation or termination in respect of an Extraordinary Event, as applicable: 
  

			
	Share Termination Alternative:	  	Applicable and 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 “Consequences of Merger Events” above or Section 12.2, 12.6, 12.7 or 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, as applicable, or such later date as the Calculation Agent may reasonably determine (the
“Share Termination Payment Date”), in satisfaction of the Payment Obligation.
		
	Share Termination Delivery Property:	  	A number of Share Termination Delivery Units, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the Payment Obligation divided by the Share Termination Unit Price. The Calculation
Agent shall adjust the Share Termination Delivery Property by replacing any fractional portion of a security therein with an amount of cash equal to the value of such fractional security based on the values used to calculate the Share Termination
Unit Price.
		
	Share Termination Unit Price:	  	The value 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 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, 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


  
 16 










			
		  	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, 9.10, 9.11 and 9.12 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 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 letters 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; provided, however, 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 commercially 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, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Dealer, including customary representations, covenants, blue
sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to Dealer, due diligence rights (for Dealer or any designated buyer of the Hedge Shares from Dealer), opinions and certificates and such other documentation as is customary for
private placements agreements, all reasonably acceptable to Dealer (in which case, the Calculation Agent shall make any adjustments to the terms of the Transaction that are necessary, in its reasonable judgment, to compensate Dealer for any discount
from the public market price of the Shares incurred on the sale of Hedge Shares in a private placement); or (iii) purchase the Hedge Shares from Dealer at the “Daily VWAP” (as defined in the Indenture) on such Exchange Business Days,
and in the amounts, 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, by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Exchange Business Day 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 would reasonably be expected to lead to an increase in the Conversion Rate, give Dealer a written
notice of such repurchase or Conversion Rate Adjustment Event (a “Repurchase Notice”) on such day if, following such repurchase or Conversion Rate Adjustment Event, 

  
 17 









 
the Notice Percentage would reasonably be expected to be (i) greater than 8.0% and (ii) greater by 0.5% than the Notice Percentage included in the immediately preceding Repurchase
Notice (or, in the case of the first such Repurchase Notice, greater than the Notice Percentage as of the date hereof). 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” under the Base Convertible Bond Hedge Transaction Confirmation 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 losses (including losses relating to the Dealer’s hedging activities as a consequence of becoming, or of the risk of
becoming, a Section 16 “insider”, including without limitation, any forbearance from hedging activities or cessation of hedging activities and any losses in connection therewith with respect to 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 expenses (including 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 shall inure to the benefit of any permitted assignee of Dealer. 

(f) Transfer and Assignment. 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 of its affiliates whose obligations hereunder will be guaranteed, pursuant to the terms of a customary guarantee in a form used by Dealer generally for similar transactions, by Dealer or JPMorgan Chase & Co., provided,
further, that if at any time at which (1) the Equity Percentage exceeds 9.0% , (2) the Option Equity Percentage exceeds 14.5% or (3) 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 regulations or regulatory
orders applicable to ownership of Shares (“Applicable Laws”), 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 (other than on Schedule 13D or 13G under the Exchange Act) or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval by a
state or federal regulator) of a Dealer Person under Applicable Laws and with respect to which such requirements have not been met or the relevant approval has not been received minus (y) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding on the
date of determination (either such condition described in clause (1), (2) or (3), an “Excess Ownership Position”), if Dealer, in its commercially reasonable 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 no longer exists following 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 and 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


  
 18 









 
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 subject to aggregation with Dealer for purposes of the “beneficial ownership” test under Section 13 of the Exchange Act and all persons who may form a “group” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1)
under the Exchange Act) with Dealer (collectively, “Dealer Group”) “beneficially own” (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act) without duplication on such day and (B) the denominator of which is the
number of Shares outstanding on such day. The “Option Equity Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the sum of (1) the product of (x) the Number of Options,
(y) the Option Entitlement and (z) the Applicable Percentage, and (2) the aggregate number of Shares underlying any other call option transaction sold by Dealer to Counterparty, and (B) the denominator of which is the number of
Shares outstanding. Dealer agrees that Dealer Group shall use commercially reasonable efforts, in consultation with counsel as to legal and regulatory issues and in compliance with any related polices and procedures of Dealer, consistently
applied, to hedge its exposure to the Transaction and to manage its other positions through the use of cash-settled swaps or other derivative instruments to the extent necessary to avoid the occurrence of an Excess Ownership Position. 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: 

(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 U.S. person (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended); 

(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 and reasonably satisfactory to Dealer; 

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

(E) An Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or Termination Event will not occur as a result of such transfer and
assignment; 
 (F) 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 
 (G) Counterparty shall be responsible for all reasonable costs and expenses, including
reasonable counsel fees, incurred by Dealer in connection with such transfer or assignment. 
 (g) Staggered Settlement.
Dealer may, by notice to Counterparty prior to any Settlement Date (a “Nominal Settlement Date”), elect to deliver the Shares on one or more dates (each, a “Staggered Settlement Date”) or at two or more times on the
Nominal Settlement Date as follows: 

  
 19 









 (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, but not prior to the first day of the relevant Cash Settlement Averaging Period) or delivery times and how it will allocate the Shares it is required to
deliver under “Delivery Obligation” (above) among the Staggered Settlement Dates or delivery times; and 
 (ii) the aggregate number of Shares that Dealer will deliver to Counterparty hereunder on all such Staggered Settlement Dates and delivery times will equal the number of Shares that Dealer would otherwise
be required to deliver on such Nominal Settlement Date. 
 (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. 
 (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 Optional Securities is not consummated pursuant to the Underwriting
Agreement for any reason by the close of business in New York on February 11, 2011 (or such later date as agreed upon by the parties, which in no event shall be later than February 18, 2011) (February 11, 2011 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 and Counterparty shall pay to Dealer, other than in cases involving a breach of the Underwriting Agreement by the underwriters, an amount in cash equal to the aggregate amount of costs and expenses
relating to the unwinding of Dealer’s hedging activities in respect of the Transaction (including market losses incurred in reselling any Shares purchased by Dealer or its affiliates in connection with such hedging activities, unless
Counterparty agrees to purchase any such Shares at the cost at which Dealer purchased such Shares) or, at the election of Counterparty, deliver to Dealer Shares with a value equal to such amount, as determined by the Calculation Agent, in which
event the parties shall enter into customary and commercially reasonable documentation relating to the registered or exempt resale of such Shares. Following such termination, cancellation and payment or delivery, 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 and following the payment referred to above, all obligations with respect to the Transaction shall be deemed fully and finally
discharged. 
 (l) Governing Law. 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 THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS
LAW). 

  
 20 









 (m) Amendment. This Confirmation and the Agreement may not be modified, amended or
supplemented, except in a written instrument signed by Counterparty and Dealer. 
 (n) 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. 
 (o) Designation by Dealer. 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; provided that such designation shall not result in any additional costs or liabilities for Counterparty. For the avoidance of
doubt, Dealer hereby acknowledges that notwithstanding any such designation hereunder, to the extent any of Dealer’s obligations in respect of this Transaction are not completed by its designee, Dealer shall be obligated to continue to perform
or to cause any other of its designees to perform in respect of such obligations. 
 9. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each
party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any suit, action or proceeding relating to the Transaction. Each party (i) certifies that no representative, agent or
attorney of 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 the Transaction by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications provided herein. 

10. Submission to Jurisdiction. 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 the Agreement and/or the Transaction, 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 declines 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 the Agreement or this Confirmation, 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.”
