evidences a complete and binding agreement between Dealer and Company as to the terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates. This Confirmation shall supplement, form a part of, and be subject to an agreement in the form of the 2002
ISDA Master Agreement (the “Agreement”) as if Dealer and Company had executed an agreement in such form (but without any Schedule except for the election of the laws of the State of New York as the governing law) on the Trade Date.
In the event of any inconsistency between provisions of that Agreement and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will prevail for the purpose of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates. The parties hereby agree that no Transaction other

	 Share Delivery Quantity:
	  	For any Settlement Date, a number of Shares, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the Net Share Settlement Amount for such Settlement Date divided by the Settlement
Price on the Valuation Date in respect of such Settlement Date, rounded down to the nearest whole number plus any Fractional Share Amount.
		
	 Net Share Settlement Amount:
	  	For any Settlement Date, an amount equal to the product of (i) the Number of Warrants exercised or deemed exercised on the relevant Exercise Date, (ii) the Strike Price Differential for
such Settlement Date and (iii) the Warrant Entitlement.
		
	 Settlement Price:
	  	For any Valuation Date, the per Share volume-weighted average price as displayed under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP” on Bloomberg page TSN.N <equity> AQR (or any successor
thereto) in respect of the period from the scheduled opening time of the Exchange to the Scheduled Closing Time on such Valuation Date (or if such volume-weighted average price is unavailable, the market value of one Share on such Valuation Date, as
determined by the Calculation Agent). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) any Expiration Date is a Disrupted Day and (ii) the Calculation Agent determines that such Expiration Date shall be an Expiration Date for fewer than the Daily Number of
Warrants, as described above, then the Settlement Price for the relevant Valuation Date shall be the volume-weighted average price per Share on such Valuation Date on the Exchange, as determined by the Calculation Agent based on such sources as it
deems appropriate using a volume-weighted methodology, for the portion of such Valuation Date for which the Calculation Agent determines there is no Market Disruption Event.

	Representation and Agreement:	  	Notwithstanding Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions, the parties acknowledge that any Shares delivered to Dealer may be, upon delivery, subject to restrictions and limitations arising from
Company’s status as issuer of the Shares under applicable securities laws.

	3. Additional Terms applicable to the Transaction:	  	
		
	 Adjustments applicable to the Warrants:
	  	
		
	 Method of Adjustment:

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

  

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

  

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

  

	 	(d)	The Shares of Company initially issuable upon exercise of the Warrant by the net share settlement method (the “Warrant Shares”) have been reserved for issuance by
all required corporate action of Company. The Warrant Shares have been duly authorized and, when delivered against payment therefor (which may include Net Share Settlement in lieu of cash) and otherwise as contemplated by the terms of the Warrant
following the exercise of the Warrant in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Warrant, will be validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable, and the issuance of the Warrant Shares will not be subject to any preemptive or similar rights.

  

 8 

	 	(e)	Company is not and will not be required to register as an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

  

	 	(f)	Company is an “eligible contract participant” (as such term is defined in Section 1a(12) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended (the “CEA”))
because one or more of the following is true: 

 Company is a corporation, partnership, proprietorship,
organization, trust or other entity and: 
  

	 	(A)	Company has total assets in excess of USD 10,000,000; 

  

	 	(B)	the obligations of Company hereunder are guaranteed, or otherwise supported by a letter of credit or keepwell, support or other agreement, by an entity of the type described in
Section 1a(12)(A)(i) through (iv), 1a(12)(A)(v)(I), 1a(12)(A)(vii) or 1a(12)(C) of the CEA; or 

  

	 	(C)	Company has a net worth in excess of USD 1,000,000 and has entered into this Agreement in connection with the conduct of Company’s business or to manage the risk associated
with an asset or liability owned or incurred or reasonably likely to be owned or incurred by Company in the conduct of Company’s business. 

  

	 	(g)	Company and each of its affiliates is not, on the date hereof, in possession of any material non-public information with respect to Company. 

 9. Other Provisions: 
  

	 	(a)	Opinions. Company shall deliver an opinion of counsel, dated as of the Trade Date, to Dealer with respect to the matters set forth in Sections 8(a) through (d) of
this Confirmation. 

  

	 	(b)	 Repurchase Notices. Company shall, on any day on which Company effects any repurchase of Shares, promptly give Dealer a written notice of such
repurchase (a “Repurchase Notice”) on such day if following such repurchase, the number of outstanding Shares on such day, subject to any adjustments provided herein, is (i) less than 268 million (in the case of the first
such notice) or (ii) thereafter more than 15 million less than the number of Shares included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice. Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Dealer and its affiliates and their respective
officers, directors, employees, affiliates, advisors, agents and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all losses (including losses relating to 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, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), joint or several, which an Indemnified Person actually may become subject to, as a result of Company’s failure to provide Dealer
with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this paragraph, and to reimburse, within 30 days, upon written request, each of such Indemnified Persons for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with
investigating, preparing for, providing testimony or other evidence in connection with or defending any of the foregoing. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or
asserted against the Indemnified Person, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Company 

  

 9 

	 	 
in writing, and Company, upon request of the Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the
Indemnified Person and any others Company may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written
consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, Company agrees to indemnify any Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Company shall not,
without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by
such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding on terms reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person. If
the indemnification provided for in this paragraph is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then Company under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such
Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities. The remedies provided for in this paragraph are not exclusive and shall not limit
any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this paragraph shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the
termination of this Transaction. 

  

	 	(c)	Regulation M. Company is not on the date hereof engaged in a distribution, as such term is used in Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the “Exchange Act”), of any securities of Company, other than (i) a distribution meeting the requirements of the exception set forth in Rules 101(b)(10) and 102(b)(7) of Regulation M, (ii) the distribution of the USD
450,000,000 principal amount of 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2013 and (iii) the distribution of Shares pursuant to a prospectus dated September 4, 2008, as supplemented by the prospectus supplement dated September 10, 2008.
Company shall not, until the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date, engage in any such distribution. 

  

	 	(d)	No Manipulation. Company is not entering into this Transaction to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or
exchangeable for the Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or otherwise in violation of the Exchange Act. 

  

	 	(e)	Transfer or Assignment. 

 (i) Company shall
have the right to transfer or assign its rights and obligations under this Transaction to any third party; provided that such transfer or assignment shall be subject to reasonable conditions that Dealer may impose, including, but not limited
to, the following conditions: 
 (A) With respect to any transfer or assignment, Company shall not be released from its notice and
indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 9(b) or any obligations under Section 9(k) or 9(m) of this Confirmation; 
 (B)
Company’s rights and obligations under this Transaction shall only be transferred or assigned to a third party that is a United States 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, an
undertaking with respect to compliance with applicable securities laws in a manner that, in the reasonable judgment of Dealer, will not expose Dealer to material risks under applicable securities laws) and execution of any documentation and delivery
of legal opinions with respect to securities laws and other matters by such third party and Company, as are requested and reasonably satisfactory to Dealer; 
  

 10 

 (D) Dealer will not, as a result of such transfer or 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 Company 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), Company shall cause the transferee to make such Payee Tax Representations and to provide such tax
documentation as may be reasonably requested by Dealer to permit Dealer to determine that results described in clauses (D) and (E) will not occur upon or after such transfer and assignment; and 
 (G) Company shall be responsible for all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, incurred by Dealer in connection with such
transfer or assignment. 
 (ii) Dealer may, without Company’s consent, transfer or assign all or any part of its rights or obligations
under this Transaction to any third party. If after Dealer’s commercially reasonable efforts, Dealer is unable to effect such a transfer or assignment on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to Dealer and within a time period reasonably
acceptable to Dealer of a sufficient number of Warrants to reduce (1) the number of Shares that Dealer Group directly or indirectly beneficially owns (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder) to
7.5% of Company’s outstanding Shares or less or (2) the quotient of (x) the product of (a) the Number of Warrants and (b) the Warrant Entitlement divided by (y) the number of Company’s outstanding Shares (such
quotient expressed as a percentage, the “Warrant Equity Percentage”) to 14.5% or less, Dealer may designate any Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion (the “Terminated Portion”)
of this Transaction, such that (1) the number of Shares that Dealer Group directly or indirectly beneficially owns (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder) following such partial termination
will be equal to or less than 7.5% of Company’s outstanding Shares or (2) the Warrant Equity Percentage following such partial termination will be equal to or less than 14.5%. In the event that Dealer so designates an Early Termination
Date with respect to a portion of this Transaction, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (1) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to this
Transaction and a Number of Warrants equal to the Terminated Portion, (2) Company shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (3) such Transaction shall be the only Terminated Transaction (and, for the
avoidance of doubt, the provisions of paragraph 9(j) shall apply to any amount that is payable by Company to Dealer pursuant to this sentence). 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 to or from Company, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities and otherwise to perform Dealer’s obligations
in respect of this Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Company to the extent of any such performance. “Dealer Group” means Dealer and each business unit of
its affiliates subject to aggregation with Dealer under Section 13 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder. 
  

	 	(f)	 Dividends. If at any time during the period from and including the Effective Date, to and including the Expiration Date, (i) an ex-dividend date
for a cash dividend occurs with respect to the Shares (an “Ex-Dividend Date”), and that dividend differs from the 

  

 11 

	 	 
Regular Dividend on a per Share basis or (ii) if no Ex-Dividend Date for a cash dividend occurs with respect to the Shares in any quarterly dividend
period of Company, then the Calculation Agent will adjust any of the Strike Price, Number of Warrants and/or Daily Number of Warrants to preserve the fair value of the Warrants to Dealer after taking into account such dividend or lack thereof.
“Regular Dividend” shall mean for any calendar quarter, USD 0.04 for the first cash dividend or distribution on the Shares for which the Ex-Dividend Date falls within such calendar quarter, and zero for any subsequent dividend or
distribution on the Shares for which the Ex-Dividend Date falls within the same calendar quarter. 

  

	 	(g)	Role of Agent. Each party agrees and acknowledges that (i) J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., an affiliate of Dealer (“JPMSI”), has acted solely as
agent and not as principal with respect to this Transaction and (ii) JPMSI has no obligation or liability, by way of guaranty, endorsement or otherwise, in any manner in respect of this 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 this Transaction.

 (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, upon the occurrence of one of the following events, with respect to this Transaction,
(1) Dealer shall have the right to designate such event an Additional Termination Event and designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement, and (2) Company shall be deemed the sole Affected Party and the
Transaction shall be deemed the sole Affected Transaction: 
 (A) Consummation of any share exchange, consolidation or merger of Company or
other transaction or series of transactions pursuant to which Shares will be converted into cash, securities or other property or any sale, lease or other transfer in one transaction or a series of transactions of all or substantially all of the
consolidated assets of Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any person other than one of its subsidiaries. 
 (B) There is a
default by Company or any subsidiary in the payment of the principal or interest on any mortgage, agreement or other instrument under which there may be outstanding, or by which there may be secured or evidenced any indebtedness for money borrowed
in excess of $50 million in the aggregate of Company and/or any subsidiary, whether such indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created resulting in such indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable, and such acceleration shall not

 (E) Dealer, despite using commercially reasonable efforts, is unable or reasonably determines that it is impractical or illegal, to hedge this
Transaction in the public market without registration under the Securities Act or as a result of any legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements or related policies and procedures (whether or not such requirements, policies or procedures are
imposed by law or have been voluntarily adopted by Dealer). 
  

 13 

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

  

	 	(j)	Alternative Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events. If, in respect of this Transaction, an amount is payable by Company to
Dealer, (i) pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or (ii) pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (a “Payment Obligation”), Company shall have the right, in its sole
discretion, to satisfy any such Payment Obligation (except that Company shall not make such an election in the event of a Nationalization, Insolvency, Merger Event or Tender Offer in which the consideration to be paid to holders of shares consists
solely of cash or an Event of Default in which Company is the Defaulting Party or a Termination Event in which Company is the Affected Party, other than an Event of Default of the type described in 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 Company’s control) and shall give irrevocable telephonic notice to
Dealer, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day, no later than 12:00 p.m. New York local time on the Merger Date, Tender Offer Date, Announcement Date (in the case of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), Early Termination Date
or date of cancellation, as applicable; provided that Dealer shall have the right to require Company to satisfy its Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative if Dealer reasonably determines that payment by Company of its Payment
Obligation in cash will conflict with or result in a breach of any agreement or instrument to which Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which Company or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which Company or any of its subsidiaries
is subject, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien under, any such agreement or instrument. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company’s or Dealer’s right to elect satisfaction of a Payment Obligation in the Share
Termination Alternative as set forth in this clause shall only apply to Transactions under this Confirmation and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, (1) separate amounts shall be calculated with respect to
(a) Transactions hereunder and (b) all other Transactions under the Agreement, and (2) such separate amounts shall be payable pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, subject to, in the case of clause (a), Company’s
Share Termination Alternative right hereunder. 

  

 14 

			
		
	Share Termination Alternative:	  	If applicable, Company shall deliver to Dealer the Share Termination Delivery Property on the date (the “Share Termination Payment Date”) on which the Payment Obligation would
otherwise be due pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, as applicable, subject to paragraph (k)(i) below, in satisfaction, subject to paragraph (k)(ii) below, of the
Payment Obligation in the manner reasonably requested by Dealer free of payment.
		
	Share Termination Delivery Property:	  	A number of Share Termination Delivery Units, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the Payment Obligation divided by the Share Termination Unit Price. The Calculation Agent shall
adjust the amount of Share Termination Delivery Property by replacing any fractional portion of a security therein with an amount of cash equal to the value of such fractional security based on the values used to calculate the Share Termination Unit
Price.
		
	Share Termination Unit Price:	  	The value to Dealer of property contained in one Share Termination Delivery Unit on the date such Share Termination Delivery Units are to be delivered as Share Termination Delivery Property, as
determined by the Calculation Agent in its discretion by commercially reasonable means. The Calculation Agent shall notify Company of such Share Termination Unit Price at the time of notification of the Payment Obligation. In the case of a Private
Placement of Share Termination Delivery Units that are Restricted Shares (as defined below), as set forth in paragraph (k)(i) below, the Share Termination Unit Price shall be determined by the discounted price applicable to such Share Termination
Delivery Units. In the case of a Registration Settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units that are Restricted Shares (as defined below) as set forth in paragraph (k)(ii) below, the Share Termination Unit Price shall be the Settlement Price on the
Merger Date, the Tender Offer Date, the Announcement Date (in the case of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), the date of cancellation or the Early Termination Date, as applicable.

  

 15 

			
		
	Share Termination Delivery Unit:	  	In the case of a Termination Event, Event of Default, Additional Disruption Event or Delisting, one Share or, in the case of Nationalization, Insolvency, Tender Offer or Merger Event, a unit
consisting of the number or amount of each type of property received by a holder of one Share (without consideration of any requirement to pay cash or other consideration in lieu of fractional amounts of any securities) in such Nationalization,
Insolvency, Tender Offer or Merger Event. If such Nationalization, Insolvency, Tender Offer or Merger Event involves a choice of consideration to be received by holders, such holder shall be deemed to have elected to receive the maximum possible
amount of cash.
		
	Failure to Deliver:	  	Inapplicable
		
	Other applicable provisions:	  	If Share Termination Alternative is applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.11, 9.12 and 10.5 (as modified above) of the Equity Definitions will be applicable, except that all
references in such provisions to “Physically-settled” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Settled” and all references to “Shares” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Delivery
Units”. “Share Termination Settled” in relation to this Transaction means that Share Termination Alternative is applicable to this Transaction.

  

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

  

 16 

	 	(i)	If Company elects to settle the Transaction pursuant to this clause (i) (a “Private Placement Settlement”), then delivery of Restricted Shares by Company shall
be effected in customary private placement procedures with respect to such Restricted Shares reasonably acceptable to Dealer; provided that Company may not elect a Private Placement Settlement if, on the date of its election, it has taken, or
caused to be taken, any action that would make unavailable either the exemption pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for the sale by Company to Dealer (or any affiliate designated by Dealer) of the Restricted Shares or the exemption
pursuant to Section 4(1) or Section 4(3) of the Securities Act for resales of the Restricted Shares by Dealer (or any such affiliate of Dealer). The Private Placement Settlement of such Restricted Shares shall include 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 Restricted Shares by Dealer), opinions and certificates, and such other
documentation as is customary for private placement agreements for similarly situated issuers of securities, all reasonably acceptable to Dealer. In the case of a Private Placement Settlement, Dealer shall determine the appropriate discount to the
Share Termination Unit Price (in the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to paragraph (j) above) or any Settlement Price (in the case of settlement of Shares pursuant to Section 2 above) applicable to such
Restricted Shares in a commercially reasonable manner and appropriately adjust the number of such Restricted Shares to be delivered to Dealer hereunder; provided that in no event shall such number be greater than two times the Number of
Shares (the “Maximum Amount”). Notwithstanding the Agreement or this Confirmation, the date of delivery of such Restricted Shares shall be the Exchange Business Day following notice by Dealer to Company, of such applicable discount
and the number of Restricted Shares to be delivered pursuant to this clause (i). For the avoidance of doubt, delivery of Restricted Shares shall be due as set forth in the previous sentence and not be due on the Share Termination Payment Date (in
the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to paragraph (j) above) or on the Settlement Date for such Restricted Shares (in the case of settlement in Shares pursuant to Section 2 above). 

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

	 	(ii)	 If Company elects to settle the Transaction pursuant to this clause (ii) (a “Registration Settlement”), then Company shall promptly (but in
any event no later than the beginning of the Resale Period) file and use its reasonable best efforts to make effective under the Securities Act a registration statement or supplement or amend an outstanding registration statement in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Dealer, to cover the resale of such Restricted Shares in accordance with customary resale registration procedures, 

  

 17 

	 	 
including covenants, conditions, representations, underwriting discounts (if applicable), commissions (if applicable), indemnities due diligence rights,
opinions and certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for equity resale underwriting agreements, all reasonably acceptable to Dealer. If Dealer, in its sole reasonable discretion, is not satisfied with such procedures and
documentation Private Placement Settlement shall apply. If Dealer is satisfied with such procedures and documentation, it shall sell the Restricted Shares pursuant to such registration statement during a period (the “Resale Period”)
commencing on the Exchange Business Day following delivery of such Restricted Shares (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be the Share Termination Payment Date in case of settlement in Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to paragraph
(j) above or (y) the Settlement Date in respect of the final Expiration Date for all Daily Number of Warrants) and ending on the earliest of (i) the Exchange Business Day on which Dealer completes the sale of all Restricted Shares or,
in the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units, a sufficient number of Restricted Shares so that the realized net proceeds of such sales equals or exceeds the Payment Obligation (as defined above), (ii) the date upon which all
Restricted Shares have been sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 (or similar provisions then in force) or Rule 145(d)(1) or (2) (or any similar provision then in force) under the Securities Act and (iii) the date upon which all
Restricted Shares may be sold or transferred by a non-affiliate pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in force) or Rule 145(d)(3) (or any similar provision then in force) under the Securities Act. If the Payment Obligation exceeds the
realized net proceeds from such resale, Company shall transfer to Dealer by the open of the regular trading session on the Exchange on the Exchange Trading Day immediately following the last day of the Resale Period the amount of such excess (the
“Additional Amount”) in cash or in a number of Shares (“Make-whole Shares”) in an amount that, based on the Settlement Price on the last day of the Resale Period (as if such day was the “Valuation Date”
for purposes of computing such Settlement Price), has a dollar value equal to the Additional Amount. The Resale Period shall continue to enable the sale of the Make-whole Shares. If Company elects to pay the Additional Amount in Shares, the
requirements and provisions for Registration Settlement shall apply. This provision shall be applied successively until the Additional Amount is equal to zero. In no event shall Company deliver a number of Restricted Shares greater than the Maximum
Amount. 

  

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

 If the Private Placement Settlement or the Registration Settlement shall not be effected as set forth in clauses (i) or (ii), as applicable, then
failure to effect such Private Placement Settlement or such Registration Settlement shall constitute an Event of Default with respect to which Company shall be the Defaulting Party. 
  

 18 

	 	(l)	Limit on Beneficial Ownership. Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, Dealer may not exercise any Warrant hereunder, have the “right to acquire”
(within the meaning of NYSE Rule 312.04(g)) Shares upon exercise of any Warrant hereunder or be entitled to take delivery of any Shares deliverable hereunder, and Automatic Exercise shall not apply with respect to any Warrant hereunder, to the
extent (but only to the extent) that, after such receipt of any Shares upon the exercise of such Warrant or otherwise hereunder, Dealer Group would directly or indirectly beneficially own (as such term is defined for purposes of Section 13(d)
of the Exchange Act) in excess of the lesser of (i) 7.5% of the then outstanding Shares or (ii) 14,943,816 Shares (the “Threshold Number of Shares”). Any purported delivery hereunder shall be void and have no effect to the
extent (but only to the extent) that, after such delivery, Dealer Group would directly or indirectly so beneficially own in excess of the Threshold Number of Shares. If any delivery owed to Dealer hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a
result of this provision, Company’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and Company shall make such delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than one Business Day after, Dealer gives notice to
Company that, after such delivery, Dealer Group would not directly or indirectly so beneficially own in excess of the Threshold Number of Shares. 

  

	 	(m)	Share Deliveries. Company acknowledges that, to the extent the holder of this Warrant is not then an affiliate and has not been an affiliate for 90 days (it being
understood that Dealer will not be considered an affiliate under this paragraph solely by reason of its receipt of Shares pursuant to this Transaction), and otherwise satisfies all holding period and other requirements of Rule 144 of the Securities
Act applicable to it, any delivery of Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property hereunder at any time after 6 months from the Trade Date (or 1 year from the Trade Date if, at the time of a delivery of Shares or Share Termination Delivery
Property which is after 6 months from the Trade Date, informational requirements of Rule 144(c) are not satisfied with respect to Company) shall be eligible for resale under Rule 144 of the Securities Act and Company agrees to promptly remove, or
cause the transfer agent for such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property, to remove, any legends referring to any restrictions on resale under the Securities Act from the Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property. Company further agrees
that any delivery of Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property prior to the date that is 6 months from the Trade Date (or 1 year from the Trade Date if, at the time of a delivery of Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property which is after 6
months from the Trade Date, informational requirements of Rule 144(c) are not satisfied with respect to Company), at Dealer’s request may be transferred by and among Dealer and its affiliates and Company shall effect such transfer without any
further action by Dealer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Company agrees that any delivery of Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property shall be effected by book-entry transfer through the facilities of DTC, or any successor
depositary, if at the time of delivery, such class of Shares or class of Share Termination Delivery Property is in book-entry form at DTC or such successor depositary. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent the provisions of
Rule 144 of the Securities Act or any successor rule are amended, or the applicable interpretation thereof by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any court change after the Trade Date, the agreements of Company herein shall be deemed modified
to the extent necessary, in the opinion of outside counsel of Company, to comply with Rule 144 of the Securities Act, as in effect at the time of delivery of the relevant Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property. 

  

	 	(n)	Governing Law. New York law (without reference to choice of law doctrine). 

  

	 	(o)	Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any suit, action or
proceeding relating to this Transaction. Each party (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of the other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of such a suit, action or
proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other party have been induced to enter into this Transaction, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications provided herein.

  

 19 

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

  

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

  

	 	(r)	Right to Extend. Dealer may postpone, in whole or in part, any Expiration Date or any other date of valuation or delivery with respect to some or all of the relevant
Warrants (in which event the Calculation Agent shall make appropriate adjustments to the Daily Number of Warrants with respect to one or more Expiration Dates) if Dealer determines, in its commercially reasonable judgment, that such extension is
reasonably necessary or appropriate to preserve Dealer’s hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions or to enable Dealer to effect purchases of Shares in connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or
settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if Dealer were Issuer or an affiliated purchaser of Issuer, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable
to Dealer. 

  

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

  

	 	(t)	Securities Contract; Swap Agreement. The parties hereto intend for: (a) the Transaction to be a “securities contract” and a “swap agreement”
as defined in the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code) (the “Bankruptcy Code”), and the parties hereto to be entitled to the protections afforded by, among other Sections, Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 546(e),
546(g), 555 and 560 of the Bankruptcy Code; (b) a party’s right to liquidate the Transaction and to exercise any other remedies upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Agreement with respect to the other party to constitute a
“contractual right” as described in the Bankruptcy Code; and (c) each payment and delivery of cash, securities or other property hereunder to constitute a “margin payment” or “settlement payment” and a
“transfer” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code. 

  

	 	(u)	Delivery or Receipt of Cash. For the avoidance of doubt, other than receipt of the Premium by Company, nothing in this Confirmation shall be interpreted as requiring
Company to cash settle this Transaction, except in circumstances where such cash settlement is within Company’s control (including, without limitation, where Company elects to deliver or receive cash, where Company fails timely to elect the
Share Termination Alternative, or where Company has made Private Placement Settlement unavailable due to the occurrence of events within its control ) or in those circumstances in which holders of the Shares would also receive cash.

 Re: Call Option Confirmation and Warrant Confirmation 
 Tyson Foods, Inc. (“Company”) and
JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, London Branch (“Dealer”) concurrently herewith are entering into a call option transaction (the “Call Option Transaction”) to purchase from Dealer a number of options
exercisable into Shares pursuant to a letter agreement dated as of the date hereof (the “Call Option Confirmation”) and a warrant transaction (the “Warrant Transaction”, together with the Call Option Transaction,
the “Transactions”) to sell to Dealer a number of options exercisable into Shares pursuant to a letter agreement dated as of the date hereof (the “Warrant Confirmation”, together with the Call Option Confirmation,
the “Confirmations”). 
 This letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) hereby confirms the agreement
between Dealer and Company as follows: 
 1. Terms Used but Not Defined Herein. Capitalized terms used herein without
definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Call Option Confirmation or the Warrant Confirmation, as applicable.
