The Purchaser shall not permit the sum of (i) the Purchaser Share Cap plus (ii) the aggregate number of shares expressly reserved for any such other uses, in each case whether expressed as caps or as numbers of shares reserved or otherwise, to exceed at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock.

TERMINATION

Section 7.01. Additional Termination Events. (a) An Additional Termination Event shall occur in respect of which the Purchaser is the sole Affected Party and this Transaction is the sole Affected Transaction if, on any day, the Seller determines, in its commercially reasonable judgment, that it is unable to establish, re-establish or maintain any hedging transactions reasonably necessary in the normal course of such party’s business of hedging the price and market risk of entering into and performing under this Transaction, due to market illiquidity, illegality or lack of availability of hedging transaction market participants.

(b) An Additional Termination Event shall occur in respect of which the Purchaser is the sole Affected Party and this Transaction is the sole Affected Transaction if (i) a Share De-listing Event occurs; (ii) a Merger Event occurs; (iii) a Nationalization occurs, (iv) a Distribution Termination Event occurs or (v) an event described in paragraph III of Annex C occurs.

(c) A “Share De-listing Event” means that at any time during the Contract Period, the Common Stock ceases to be listed, traded or publicly quoted on the Exchange for any reason (other than a Merger Event, a “De-Listing”) and is not immediately re-listed, traded or quoted as of the date of such de-listing, on another U.S. national securities exchange or a U.S. automated interdealer quotation system (a “Successor Exchange”); provided that it shall not constitute an Additional Termination Event if the Common Stock is immediately re-listed on a Successor Exchange upon its De-Listing from the Exchange, and the Successor Exchange shall be deemed to be the Exchange for all purposes. In addition, in such event, the Seller shall make any commercially reasonable adjustments it deems necessary to the terms of the Transaction.

(d) A “Merger Event” means the public announcement, including any public announcement as defined in Rule 165(f) of the Securities Act (by the Purchaser or otherwise) at any time during the Contract Period of any (i) planned recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock that will, if consummated, result in a transfer of more than 20% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, (ii) planned consolidation, amalgamation, merger or similar transaction of the Purchaser with or into another entity (other than a consolidation, amalgamation or merger in which the Purchaser will be the continuing entity and which does not result in any such recapitalization, reclassification or change of more than 20% of such shares outstanding), (iii) other takeover offer for the shares of Common Stock that is aimed at resulting in a transfer of more than 20% of such shares of Common Stock (other than such shares owned or controlled by the offeror) or (iv) irrevocable commitment to any of the foregoing.

(e) A “Nationalization” means that all or substantially all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or assets of the Purchaser are nationalized, expropriated or are otherwise required to be transferred to any governmental agency, authority or entity.

(f) A “Distribution Termination Event” means a declaration by the Purchaser of any cash dividend or distribution on shares of Common Stock, other than an Extraordinary Cash Dividend (a “Cash Distribution”), that has a record date during the Contract Period, the amount of which, together with all prior declared Cash Distributions that have a record date during the same Reference Period of the Purchaser, exceeds the Cash Distribution Amount specified in the Pricing Supplement for such Reference Period, and in respect of which the Calculation Agent has not made an adjustment pursuant to Section 8.01(b).

Section 7.02. Consequences of Additional Termination Events. (a) In the event of the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date under the Agreement, cash settlement, as set forth in Section 7.02(b), shall apply unless (i) the Purchaser elects (which election shall be binding), in lieu of payment of the amount payable in respect of this Transaction pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (the “Termination Amount”), to deliver or to receive Alternative Termination Delivery Units pursuant to Section 7.03, and (ii) notifies the Seller of such election by delivery of written notice to the Seller on the Business Day immediately following the Purchaser’s receipt of a notice (as required by Section 6(d) of the Agreement following the designation of an Early Termination Date in respect of this Transaction) setting forth the amounts payable by the Purchaser or by the Seller with respect to such Early Termination Date (the date of such delivery, the “Default Notice Day”); provided that the Purchaser shall not have the right to elect the delivery or receipt of the Alternative Termination Delivery Units pursuant to Section 7.03 if:

(i) the representations and warranties made by the Purchaser to the Seller in Section 5.01 are not true and correct as of the date the Purchaser makes such election, as if made on such date, or

(ii) in the event that the Termination Amount is payable by the Purchaser to the Seller, (A) the Purchaser has taken any action that would make unavailable (x) the exemption set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, for the sale of any Alternative Termination Delivery Units by the Purchaser to the Seller or (y) an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act reasonably acceptable to the Seller for resales of Alternative Termination Delivery Units by the Seller, and (B) such Early Termination Date is in respect of an Event of Default which is within Purchaser’s control (including, without limitation, failure to execute a Private Placement Agreement or otherwise comply with the requirements applicable to Purchaser set forth in Annex A hereto).

For the avoidance of doubt, upon the Purchaser’s making an election to deliver Alternative Termination Delivery Units pursuant to this Section 7.02(a), the Purchaser shall be deemed to make the representations and warranties in Section 5.01 hereof as if made on the date of the Purchaser’s election. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to the time the Seller (or any affiliate of the Seller) has contracted to resell the property to be delivered upon alternative termination settlement, the Purchaser may deliver in lieu of such property an amount in cash equal to the Termination Amount in the manner set forth in Section 6(d) of the Agreement.

(b) If cash settlement applies in respect of an Early Termination Date, Section 6 of the Agreement shall apply.

Section 7.03. Alternative Termination Settlement. (a) Subject to Section 7.02(a), if the Termination Amount shall be payable by the Purchaser to the Seller and the Purchaser elects to deliver the Alternative Termination Delivery Units to the Seller, the Purchaser shall, as soon as directed by the Seller after the Default Notice Day (such date, the “Termination Settlement Date”), deliver to the Seller a number of Alternative Termination Delivery Units equal to the quotient of (A) the Termination Amount divided by (B) the Termination Price.

(b) Subject to Section 7.02(a), if the Termination Amount shall be payable by the Seller to the Purchaser and the Purchaser elects to receive the Alternative Termination Delivery Units from the Seller, (i) the Seller shall, beginning on the first Trading Day following the Default Notice Day and ending when the Seller shall have satisfied its obligations under this clause (the “Seller Termination Share Purchase Period”), purchase (subject to the provisions of Section 4.01 and Section 4.02 hereof) a number of Alternative Termination Delivery

Units equal to the quotient of (A) the Termination Amount divided by (B) the Termination Price; and (ii) the Seller shall deliver such Alternative Termination Delivery Units to the Purchaser on the settlement dates relating to such purchases.

Section 7.04. Notice of Default. If an Event of Default occurs in respect of the Purchaser, the Purchaser will, promptly upon becoming aware of it, notify the Seller specifying the nature of such Event of Default.

ARTICLE 8

ADJUSTMENTS

Section 8.01. Cash Dividends. (a) If the Purchaser declares any Extraordinary Cash Dividend that has a record date during the Contract Period, then prior to or on the date on which such Extraordinary Cash Dividend is paid by the Purchaser to holders of record, the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the amount of such Extraordinary Cash Dividend and (ii) the theoretical short delta number of shares as of the opening of business on the related ex-dividend date, as determined by the Calculation Agent, required for the Seller to hedge its exposure to the Transaction.

(b) If the Purchaser declares any cash dividend on shares of Common Stock that is not an Extraordinary Cash Dividend (an “Ordinary Cash Dividend”) and that has a record date during the Contract Period, and the amount of such Ordinary Cash Dividend, together with all prior declared Ordinary Cash Dividends that have a record date during the same Reference Period, exceeds the Cash Distribution Amount specified in the Pricing Supplement for such Reference Period, the Calculation Agent may make corresponding adjustments with respect to the Floor Price as the Calculation Agent determines appropriate to preserve the fair value of the Transaction to the Seller, and shall determine the effective date of such adjustment.

Section 8.02. Other Dilution Adjustments. If (x) any corporate event occurs having a dilutive or concentrative effect on the theoretical value of the Common Stock (other than any cash dividend but including, without limitation, a spin-off, a stock split, stock or other dividend or distribution, reorganization, rights offering or recapitalization), or (y) as a result of the definition of Trading Day (whether because of a suspension of transactions pursuant to Section 4.02 or otherwise), any day that would otherwise be a Trading Day during the Contract Period is not a Trading Day or on such Trading Day, pursuant to Section 4.02, the Seller effects transactions with respect to shares of Common Stock at a volume lower than originally anticipated with respect to this Transaction, or (z) as a result of market conditions, the Seller incurs additional costs in connection with maintaining its hedge position with respect to this Transaction resulting from the insufficient availability of stock lenders willing and able to lend shares of Common Stock with a borrow cost not significantly greater than the cost as of the date hereof and otherwise on terms consistent with those as of the date hereof, then in any such case, the Calculation Agent shall make corresponding adjustments with respect to any variable relevant to the terms of the Transaction, as the Calculation Agent determines appropriate to preserve the fair value of the Transaction to the Seller, and shall determine the effective date of such adjustment.

(a) The Purchaser shall take all actions within its control to make available to the Seller and its affiliates an effective primary registration statement under the Securities Act and one or more prospectuses as necessary or advisable to allow the Seller and its affiliates to comply with the applicable prospectus delivery requirements (the “Prospectus”) for the sale by Seller or its affiliates of the Registered Shares to be delivered by the Purchaser pursuant to the Confirmation (the “Registration Statement”), such Registration Statement to be effective and Prospectus to be current until all such sales by the Seller (or its affiliates) have been settled.

If the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference contains a misstatement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make any statement therein not misleading, the Purchaser shall as promptly as reasonably practicable file any required document and prepare and furnish to the Seller a reasonable number of copies of such supplement or amendment thereto as may be necessary so that the Prospectus, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers in connection with sales of Registered Shares thereunder, will not contain any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make any statement therein not misleading.

(c) The Purchaser shall afford the Seller (and its agents and affiliates) a reasonable opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation with respect to the Purchaser customary in scope for registered offerings of such type of securities (including, without limitation, the availability of senior management and external advisors to respond to questions regarding the business and financial condition of the Purchaser and the right to have made available to them for inspection all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and other information reasonably requested by them), and such opportunity and the resolution of any disclosure issues arising from such due diligence investigation of the Purchaser shall be satisfactory to Seller in all material respects.

(i) contain customary conditions, and customary undertakings, representations and warranties (to the Seller or such affiliate);

(ii) contain indemnification and contribution provisions in connection with the potential liability of the Seller and its affiliates relating to the sale by the Seller (or such affiliate) of the Registered Shares;

(v) provide for the delivery to the Seller (or such affiliate) of customary opinions, including, without limitation, opinions relating to the due authorization, valid issuance and fully paid and non-assessable nature of the Registered Shares and the lack of material misstatements and omissions in the Registration Statement (including any documents incorporated by reference therein).

(e) The Seller shall notify the Purchaser of the numbers of Registered Shares to be delivered by the Purchaser on the Settlement Dates, as necessary in light of the Seller’s unwinding of its hedge positions in connection with the Transaction and sales of Registered Shares in accordance with these Registration Procedures, and the Purchaser shall deliver such Shares to the Seller on such Settlement Dates in accordance with the Seller’s customary procedures. The parties understand and acknowledge that (i) the Seller or its affiliates expect to make contemporaneous or nearly contemporaneous (A) purchases of Common Stock to unwind its hedge and (B) sales of Registered Shares in accordance with these Registration Procedures, (ii) the Seller or its affiliates intend to make such sales of Registered Shares in a manner that is not a distribution for purposes of Regulation M, and (iii) accordingly, the length of the period during which the Seller or its affiliates make such purchases and sales will depend in part on prevailing trading volumes for the Common Stock.

(f) In the event that (i) the Purchaser fails to comply with the requirements set forth in this Annex B, (ii) the Registration Statement is not effective on or prior to the date that is 30 days after the Valuation Completion Date, or fails to remain effective until all Registered Shares have been sold hereunder, (ii) the opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation with respect to the Purchaser and the resolution of any issues arising therefrom is not satisfactory to Seller and its affiliates in all material respects, or does not continue to be satisfactory to the Seller and its affiliates in all material respects until all Registered Shares have been sold hereunder, (iv) the Seller or its affiliates are not able to make sales of Registered Shares in a manner that permits the contemporaneous or nearly contemporaneous purchase by the Seller or its affiliates of Common Stock in accordance with Regulation M or (v) the Registration Procedures otherwise become unavailable for the sale by the Seller and its affiliates of the Registered Shares delivered by the Purchaser hereunder prior to the completion of the sale thereof, then in any such event, the provisions of Section 3.01(d) of the Confirmation providing for cash settlement with respect to any unsold Registered Shares shall apply, appropriately modified to take into account any Registered Shares theretofore delivered and sold pursuant to these Registration Procedures.

Myriad Genetics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Counterparty”) and X.X.

II. Communications Rules

From the date hereof until the end of the Contract Period, Counterparty and its Employees and Designees shall not engage in any Program-Related Communication with, or disclose any Material Non-Public Information to, any EDG Trading Personnel. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, the Confirmation shall not limit Counterparty and its Employees and Designees in their communication with Affiliates and Employees of JPMorgan, including without limitation Employees who are EDG Permitted Contacts.

III. Termination

If, in the sole judgment of any EDG Trading Personnel or any affiliate or Employee of JPMorgan participating in any Communication with Counterparty or any Employee or Designee of Counterparty, such Communication would not be permitted by these Communications Procedures, such EDG Trading Personnel or affiliate or Employee of JPMorgan shall immediately terminate such Communication. In such case, or if such EDG Trading Personnel or affiliate or Employee of JPMorgan determines following completion of any Communication with Counterparty or any Employee or Designee of Counterparty that such Communication was not permitted by these Communications Procedures, such EDG Trading Personnel or such affiliate or Employee of JPMorgan shall promptly consult with his or her supervisors and with counsel for JPMorgan regarding such Communication. If, in the reasonable judgment of JPMorgan’s counsel following such consultation, there is more than an insignificant risk that such Communication could materially jeopardize the availability of the affirmative defenses provided in Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act with respect to any ongoing or contemplated activities of JPMorgan or its affiliates in respect of the Confirmation, it shall be an Additional Termination Event with respect to the Confirmation.
