Re: Second Additional Call Option Transaction

The purpose of this letter agreement (this “Confirmation”) is to confirm the terms and conditions of the call option transaction entered into between Credit Suisse Capital LLC (“Dealer”) and NIO Inc. (“Counterparty”) as of the Trade Date specified below (the “Transaction”). This letter agreement constitutes a “Confirmation” as referred to in the ISDA Master Agreement specified below. Each party further agrees that this Confirmation together with the Agreement evidence a complete binding agreement between Counterparty and Dealer as to the subject matter and terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates, and shall supersede all prior or contemporaneous written or oral communications with respect thereto.

The definitions and provisions contained in the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “Equity Definitions”), as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) are incorporated into this Confirmation. In the event of any inconsistency between the Equity Definitions and this Confirmation, this Confirmation shall govern. Certain defined terms used herein are based on terms that are defined in the Offering Memorandum dated January 30, 2019 (the “Offering Memorandum”) relating to the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (as originally issued by Counterparty, the “Convertible Notes” and each USD 1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, a “Convertible Note”) issued by Counterparty in an aggregate initial principal amount of USD 650,000,000 (as increased by an aggregate principal amount of USD 100,000,000 pursuant to the exercise by the Initial Purchasers (as defined herein) of their option to purchase additional Convertible Notes pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (as defined herein)) pursuant to an Indenture dated February 4, 2019 between Counterparty and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Indenture”). In the event of any inconsistency between the terms defined in the Offering Memorandum, the Indenture and this Confirmation, this Confirmation shall govern. The parties acknowledge that this Confirmation is entered into on the date hereof with the understanding that (i) definitions set forth in the Indenture which are also defined herein by reference to the Indenture and (ii) sections of the Indenture that are referred to herein will conform to the descriptions thereof in the Offering Memorandum. If any such definitions in the Indenture or any such sections of the Indenture differ from the descriptions thereof in the Offering Memorandum, the descriptions thereof in the Offering Memorandum will govern for purposes of this Confirmation. The parties further acknowledge that the Indenture section numbers used herein are based on the Indenture as executed. Subject to the foregoing, references to the Indenture herein are references to the Indenture as in effect on the date of its execution, and if the Indenture is amended or supplemented following such date (other than any amendment or supplement (x) pursuant to Section 10.01(i) of the Indenture that, as determined by the Calculation Agent, conforms the Indenture to the description of Convertible Notes in the Offering Memorandum, and (y) pursuant to Section 14.07(a) of the Indenture, subject, in the case of this clause (y), to the second paragraph under “Method of Adjustment” in Section 3), any such amendment or supplement will be disregarded for purposes of this Confirmation (other than as provided in Section 9(i)(iii) below) unless the parties agree otherwise in writing. For the avoidance of doubt, adjustments pursuant to any Dilution Adjustment Provision shall not constitute amendment, modification, supplement, or waiver in respect of any term of the Indenture or the Convertible Notes for any purpose under this paragraph and under Section 9(i)(iii).

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.

1. 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 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 Counterparty had executed an agreement in such form (but without any Schedule except for (i) the election of the laws of the State of New York as the governing law (without reference to choice of law doctrine) and (ii) the agreement of the parties hereto that, following the payment of the Premium and the delivery to Dealer of the opinions of counsel as required pursuant to Section 9(a), the condition precedent in Section 2(a)(iii) of the Agreement shall not apply to a payment or delivery owing by Dealer to Counterparty (it being understood that such condition precedent will continue to apply and this clause (ii) will have no effect with respect to a Potential Event of Default, Event of Default and/or Early Termination Date arising under, or with respect to, Section 5(a)(ii) or 5(a)(iv) of the Agreement)) on the Trade Date.

In the event of any inconsistency between provisions of the 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 than the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates shall be governed by 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.

Additional Terms applicable to the Transaction.

Adjustments applicable to the Transaction:

Potential Adjustment Events:	Notwithstanding Section 11.2(e) of the Equity Definitions (which Section shall not apply for the purposes of the Transaction, except as provided in Section 9(y) below), a “Potential Adjustment Event” means an occurrence of any event or condition, as set forth in any Dilution Adjustment Provision, that requires an adjustment to be made under the Indenture to the “Conversion Rate” or the composition of a “unit of Reference Property” or to any “Last Reported Sale Price” (each as defined in the Indenture). For the avoidance of doubt, Dealer shall not have any delivery or payment obligation hereunder, and no adjustment shall be made to the terms of the Transaction, on account of (x) any distribution of cash, property or securities by Counterparty to holders of the Convertible Notes (upon conversion or otherwise) or (y) any other transaction in which holders of the Convertible Notes participate, in each case, in lieu of an adjustment under the Indenture of the type referred to in the immediately preceding sentence (including, without limitation, pursuant to the fourth sentence of the first paragraph of Section 14.04(c) of the Indenture or the fourth sentence of Section 14.04(d) of the Indenture).

Method of Adjustment:	Calculation Agent Adjustment, which means that, notwithstanding Section 11.2(c) of the Equity Definitions, (which Section shall not apply for the purposes of the Transaction, except as provided in Section 9(y) below) upon any Potential Adjustment Event, the Calculation Agent shall make an adjustment to any one or more of the Strike Price, Number of Options, Option Entitlement and any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment for the Transaction corresponding to the adjustment required to be made pursuant to the Indenture.

	Notwithstanding the foregoing and “Consequences of Merger Events / Tender Offers” below:

(i)

if the Calculation Agent in good faith disagrees with any adjustment to the Convertible Notes that involves an exercise of discretion by Counterparty or its board of directors (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 14.05 of the Indenture, Section 14.07 of the Indenture or any supplemental indenture entered into thereunder or in connection with any proportional adjustment or the determination of the fair value of any securities, property, rights or other assets), then in each such case, the Calculation Agent will determine in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, the adjustment to be made to any one or more of the Strike Price, Number of Options, Option Entitlement and any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment for the Transaction in a commercially reasonable manner; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Potential Adjustment Event occurs during the Settlement Averaging Period but no adjustment was made to any Convertible Note under the Indenture because the relevant Holder (as such term is defined in the Indenture) was deemed to be a record owner of the underlying Shares on the related Conversion Date (as such term is defined in the Indenture), then the Calculation Agent shall make a commercially reasonable adjustment, as determined by it, to the terms hereof in order to account for such Potential Adjustment Event;

	(ii)	in connection with any Potential Adjustment Event as a result of an event or condition set forth in Section 14.04(b) of the Indenture or Section 14.04(c) of the Indenture where, in either case, the period for determining “Y” (as such term is used in Section 14.04(b) of the Indenture) or “SP₀” (as such term is used in Section 14.04(c) of the Indenture), as the case may be, begins before Counterparty has publicly announced the event or condition giving rise to such Potential Adjustment Event, then the Calculation Agent shall have the right to adjust any variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment for the Transaction as appropriate to reflect the costs (to account solely for hedging mismatches and market losses) and expenses incurred by Dealer in connection with its hedging activities, with such adjustments made assuming that Dealer maintains commercially reasonable hedge positions, as a result of such event or condition not having been publicly announced prior to the beginning of such period; and

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

Dilution Adjustment Provisions:	Sections 14.04(a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) and Section 14.05 of the Indenture.

Extraordinary Events applicable to the Transaction:

Merger Events:	Applicable; provided that notwithstanding Section 12.1(b) of the Equity Definitions, a “Merger Event” means the occurrence of any event or condition set forth in the definition of “Merger Event” in Section 14.07 of the Indenture.

Tender Offers:	Applicable; provided that notwithstanding Section 12.1(d) of the Equity Definitions, a “Tender Offer” means the occurrence of any event or condition set forth in Section 14.04(e) of the Indenture.

Consequences of Merger Events/
Tender Offers:	Notwithstanding Section 12.2 and Section 12.3 of the Equity Definitions, upon the occurrence of a Merger Event or a Tender Offer, the Calculation Agent shall make a corresponding adjustment in respect of any adjustment under the Indenture to any one or more of the nature of the Shares (in the case of a Merger Event), Strike Price, Number of Options, Option Entitlement and any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment for the Transaction to the extent that an analogous adjustment is required to be made pursuant to the Indenture in respect of such Merger Event or Tender Offer, subject to the second paragraph under “Method of Adjustment”; provided, however, that such adjustment shall be made without regard to any adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to any Excluded Provision; provided further that if, with respect to a Merger Event or a Tender Offer, (i) the consideration for the Shares or Underlying Shares, as applicable, includes (or, at the option of a holder of Shares, or Underlying Shares, as applicable, may include) shares of an entity or person that is not (1) a corporation or an entity that is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (2) organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands or (ii) the Counterparty to the Transaction following such Merger Event or Tender Offer will not be a corporation or an entity that is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands, and/or will not be the Underlying Shares Issuer then, in any case, Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination) may apply at Dealer’s commercially reasonable election; provided further that, for the avoidance of doubt, adjustments shall be made pursuant to the provisions set forth above regardless of whether any Merger Event or Tender Offer gives rise to an Early Conversion (as defined below).

Consequences of Announcement Events:	If an Announcement Event occurs, the Calculation Agent shall determine the cumulative economic effect of such Announcement Event (it being understood that the Calculation Agent may take into account any changes to volatility in connection with such Announcement Event within a commercially reasonable (as determined by the Calculation Agent) period of time prior to or after such Announcement Event) on the Transaction on the earliest to occur of (i) the date on which the transaction described in such Announcement Event (as amended) is consummated or otherwise results in a Merger Date or Tender Offer Date, as applicable, (ii) the Valuation Date, or (iii) any earlier date of termination or cancellation with respect to any Option, and if the Calculation Agent determines that such economic effect is material and that making the relevant adjustment would be commercially reasonable, the Calculation Agent shall adjust the Cap Price to reflect such economic effect (but, for the avoidance of doubt, taking into account, and without duplication of, any other adjustment made pursuant to this “Consequences of Announcement Events” provision or pursuant to the provisions opposite the captions “Method of Adjustment”, “Consequences of Merger Events” or “Consequences of Tender Offers” above in respect of the transaction or intention giving rise to such Announcement Event).

Announcement Event:	(i) The public announcement by (x) any entity of any transaction or event that the Calculation Agent determines is reasonably likely to be completed and that, if completed, would constitute a Merger Event or Tender Offer (it being understood that Calculation Agent may make such determination by reference to the impact of such announcement on the market for the Shares and/or Underlying Shares or options relating to the Shares and/or Underlying Shares), (y) Underlying Shares Issuer or any subsidiary thereof of any potential acquisition or disposal by the Underlying Shares Issuer and/or its subsidiaries where the aggregate consideration payable or receivable exceeds 25% of the market capitalization of the Underlying Shares Issuer as of the date of such announcement (a “Transformative Transaction”) or (z) Underlying Shares Issuer, any subsidiary of the Underlying Shares Issuer or any Valid Third Party Entity of the intention to enter into a Merger Event or Tender Offer or a Transformative Transaction (in the case of a Valid Third-Party Entity, that the Calculation Agent determines is a bona fide intention, it being understood that the Calculation Agent may make such determination by reference to the impact of such announcement on the market for the Shares and/or Underlying Shares or options relating to the Shares and/or Underlying Shares), (ii) the public announcement by the Underlying Shares Issuer of an intention to solicit or enter into, or to explore strategic alternatives or other similar undertaking that may include, a Merger Event or Tender Offer or a Transformative Transaction or (iii) any subsequent public announcement by any entity of a change to a transaction or intention that is the subject of an announcement of the type described in clause (i) or (ii) of this sentence (including, without limitation, a new announcement, whether or not by the same party, relating to such a transaction or intention or the announcement of a withdrawal from, or the abandonment or discontinuation of, such a transaction or intention), as determined by the Calculation Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, the occurrence of an Announcement Event with respect to any transaction or intention shall not preclude the occurrence of a later Announcement Event with respect to such transaction or intention. For purposes of this definition of “Announcement Event,” (A) “Merger Event” shall mean such term as defined under Section 12.1(b) of the Equity Definitions (but, for the avoidance of doubt, the remainder of the definition of “Merger Event” in Section 12.1(b) of the Equity Definitions following the definition of “Reverse Merger” therein shall be disregarded) and (B) “Tender Offer” shall mean such term as defined under Section 12.1(d) of the Equity Definitions; provided that Section 12.1(d) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by replacing “10%” with “20%” in the third line thereof.

Representations and Warranties of Counterparty.

Each of the representations and warranties of Counterparty set forth in Section 2 of the Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) dated as of January 30, 2019, between Counterparty and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, X.X. Xxxxxx Securities LLC, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. LLC, and Xxxxxxx Sachs (Asia) LLC, as representatives of the Initial Purchasers party thereto (the “Initial Purchasers”), are true and correct and are hereby deemed to be repeated to Dealer as if set forth herein. Counterparty hereby further represents and warrants to Dealer on the date hereof and on and as of the Premium Payment Date, that:

(a)

Counterparty (i) is duly incorporated and validly existing as an exempted company with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands and is in good standing under such laws, and (ii) has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations and exercise its rights in respect of the Transaction; such execution, delivery, performance and exercise have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on Counterparty’s part; and this Confirmation has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Counterparty and constitutes its valid and binding obligation, enforceable against Counterparty 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 nor the exercise of rights of Counterparty hereunder will conflict with or result in a breach of the memorandum and articles of association or by-laws (or any equivalent documents) of Counterparty, 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 Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which Counterparty 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 Counterparty of this Confirmation, except such as have been obtained or made and such as may be required under the Securities Act or state securities laws.

(d)

Counterparty is not and, after consummation of 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.

(e)

Counterparty is an “eligible contract participant” (as such term is defined in Section 1a(18) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, other than a person that is an eligible contract participant under Section 1a(18)(C) of the Commodity Exchange Act).

(f)

Counterparty is not, on the date hereof, aware of any material non-public information with respect to Counterparty, the Underlying Shares Issuer (if other than Counterparty), the Underlying Shares or the Shares.

(g)

To the knowledge of Counterparty, no state or local (including any non-U.S. jurisdiction’s) law, rule, regulation or regulatory order applicable to the Shares and/or Underlying 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 and/or Underlying Shares (except for filings of Form 13F, Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G under the Exchange Act); provided that Counterparty makes no representation or warranty regarding any such requirement that is applicable generally to the ownership of equity securities by Dealer or any of its affiliates solely as a result of it or any of such affiliates being a financial institution or broker-dealer.

(h)

Counterparty (A) is capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to all transactions and investment strategies involving a security or securities; (B) will exercise independent judgment in evaluating the recommendations of any broker-dealer or its associated persons, unless it has otherwise notified the broker-dealer in writing; (C) has total assets of at least USD 50 million; and (D) is acting for its own account, and it has made its own independent decisions to enter into the Transaction and as to whether the Transaction is appropriate or proper for it (including as to any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or economic consequences arising from the Transaction) based upon its own judgment and upon advice from such advisers as it has deemed necessary (including legal, financial and accounting advisors).

(i)

Counterparty as of and immediately after the Trade Date and the Premium Payment Date (x) is not, and shall not be after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby, “insolvent” (as such term is defined in Section 101(32) of the Bankruptcy Code, (y) would be able to purchase 100,536,150 Shares and the Underlying Shares represented by such number of Shares in compliance with the laws of the jurisdiction of Counterparty’s incorporation or organization, and (z), for the purposes of Cayman Islands law, is able to pay its debts.

(j)

Counterparty’s board of directors (the “Board”) has concluded that (A) the Transaction is suitable for Counterparty, for its commercial benefit and in its best interests, in light of its own investment objectives, financial condition and expertise and (B) the Transaction has been duly approved and authorized by the Board after due consideration by the Board of the foregoing matters and those referred to in sub-paragraph (h)(D) above.

Other Provisions.

(a)

Deliverables. Counterparty shall deliver to Dealer (A) an opinion of U.S. counsel and (B) an opinion of Cayman counsel, each dated as of the Premium Payment Date, with respect to, among other things, the matters set forth in Sections 8(a) through (c) of this Confirmation, it being understood that such opinions of counsel shall be limited to the federal laws of the United States and the laws of the State of New York (in the case of clause (A) above) and the laws Cayman Islands (in the case of clause (B) above) and may contain customary limitations, exceptions and qualifications for transactions of the same type as the Transaction. Delivery of such opinions to Dealer shall be a condition precedent for the purpose of Section 2(a)(iii) of the Agreement with respect to each obligation of Dealer under Section 2(a)(i) of the Agreement; (C) a resolution of the Board authorizing the Transaction; and (D) on or before the Premium Payment Date, a solvency certificate with respect to Counterparty signed by a member of the Board, the chief executive officer or the chief financial officer of the Counterparty certifying the solvency of Counterparty as of and immediately after the Premium Payment Date (after giving effect to Counterparty’s payment of amounts required to be paid by Counterparty on such date under the Transaction and the other transactions described under “Use of Proceeds” in the Offering Memorandum related to the offering of the Convertible Notes), which solvency certificate is reasonably satisfactory to Dealer.

(b)

Repurchase Notices. Counterparty shall, on or prior to the date that is one Scheduled Trading Day following any date on which Counterparty effects any repurchase of Shares and/or Underlying Shares, promptly give Dealer a written notice of such repurchase (a “Repurchase Notice”) on such day if following such repurchase, the number of outstanding Underlying Shares as determined on such day is (i) less than 727.2 million (in the case of the first such notice) or (ii) thereafter more than 37.8 million less than the number of Underlying Shares included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice; provided that Counterparty may provide Dealer advance notice on or prior to any such day including the maximum number of Shares and/or Underlying Shares that may be repurchased under a repurchase program entered into in reliance on Rule 10b5-1(c) and the approximate periods during which such repurchases may occur, to the extent it expects that repurchases effected on such day may result in an obligation to deliver a Repurchase Notice (and in such case, any such advance notice shall be deemed a Repurchase Notice to the maximum extent of repurchases set forth in such advance notice as if Counterparty had executed such repurchases). Counterparty agrees that, if Counterparty ceases to qualify as a “foreign private issuer” as defined in Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act or the Shares or Underlying Shares, as applicable, otherwise become subject to the requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, Counterparty will 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 the Transaction), claims, damages, judgments, liabilities and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees of one outside counsel in each relevant jurisdiction), joint or several, which an Indemnified Person may become subject to, in each case, as a result of Counterparty’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 out-of-pocket expenses (to the extent supported by invoices or other documentation setting forth in reasonable detail such 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 as a result of Counterparty’s failure to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice in accordance with this paragraph, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Counterparty in writing, and Counterparty, upon request of the Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others Counterparty may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. Counterparty shall not be liable to the extent that the Indemnified Person fails to notify Counterparty within a commercially reasonable period of time after any action is commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder. In addition, Counterparty shall not have liability for any settlement of any such proceeding contemplated by this paragraph that is effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, Counterparty agrees to indemnify any Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Counterparty shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding contemplated by this paragraph 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 Counterparty hereunder, 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 (b) 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 the Transaction.

(c)

Regulation M. Counterparty is not on the Trade Date 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 Counterparty, other than a distribution meeting the requirements of the exception set forth in Rules 101(b)(10) and 102(b)(7) of Regulation M. Counterparty shall not, until the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date, engage in any such distribution.

(d)

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

(e)

Transfer or Assignment.

(i)

Counterparty shall have the right to transfer or assign all or any of its rights and obligations hereunder with respect to all, or any, of the Options hereunder (such Options, the “Transfer Options”) with the prior written consent of Dealer, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; provided that withholding of such consent by Dealer shall not be considered unreasonable if such transfer or assignment does not meet any of the following conditions:

(A)

With respect to any Transfer Options, Counterparty shall not be released from its notice and indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 9(b) of this Confirmation;

(B)

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 Counterparty, as are reasonably requested and reasonably satisfactory to Dealer;

(C)

Under the applicable law effective on the date of such transfer or assignment, (1) Dealer will not, as a result of such transfer or assignment, be required to pay the transferee or assignee on any payment date or delivery date an amount or a number of Shares, as applicable, under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement greater than the amount or the number of Shares, as applicable, that Dealer would have been required to pay to Counterparty in the absence of such transfer or assignment and (2) Dealer will not, as a result of such transfer or assignment, receive from the transferee or assignee on any payment date an amount under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement that is less than the amount that Dealer would have received from Counterparty in the absence of such transfer or assignment;

(D)

No Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or Termination Event will occur as a result of such transfer and assignment;

(E)

Counterparty shall cause the transferee to make such 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 (C) and (D) will not occur upon or after such transfer and assignment, including but not limited to providing tax documentation specified in Section 9(bb) of this Confirmation and making the tax representations specified in Section 9(aa) of this Confirmation on or prior to such transfer and at the other times specified in such Sections; and

(F)

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

(ii)

Dealer may, without Counterparty’s consent, transfer or assign all or any part of its rights or obligations under the Transaction to any affiliate of Dealer (1) that has a long-term issuer rating that is equal to or better than Dealer’s credit rating at the time of such transfer or assignment, or (2) 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; provided that, in the case of any such transfer or assignment, under the applicable law effective on the date of such transfer or assignment, (I) Counterparty will not, as a result of such transfer or assignment, be required to pay the transferee or assignee on any payment date an amount under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement greater than the amount that Counterparty would have been required to pay to Dealer in the absence of such transfer or assignment; (II) Counterparty will not, as a result of such transfer or assignment, receive from the transferee or assignee on any payment or delivery date an amount or a number of Shares, as applicable, under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement that is less than the amount or the number of Shares that Counterparty would have received from Dealer in the absence of such transfer or assignment; (III) Dealer shall cause the transferee or assignee to make such tax representations and to provide such tax documentation as may be reasonably requested by Counterparty to permit Counterparty to determine that events described in clauses (I) and (II) of this proviso will not occur upon or after such transfer or assignment; and (IV) no Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or Termination Event will occur as a result of such transfer and assignment. If at any time at which (A) the Section 13 Percentage exceeds 8.5%, (B) the Option Equity Percentage exceeds 14.5%, or (C) the Share Amount exceeds the Applicable Share Limit (if any applies) (any such condition described in clauses (A), (B) or (C), an “Excess Ownership Position”), Dealer is unable after using its commercially reasonable efforts to effect a transfer or assignment of Options to a third party on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to Dealer and within a time period reasonably acceptable to Dealer such that no Excess Ownership Position exists, then Dealer may designate any Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction (the “Terminated Portion”), to the extent necessary so that following such partial termination no Excess Ownership Position exists. In the event that Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the 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 the Transaction and a Number of Options equal to the number of Options underlying the Terminated Portion, (2) Counterparty were the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (3) the Terminated Portion were the sole Affected Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 9(m) shall apply to any amount that is payable by Dealer to Counterparty pursuant to this sentence as if Counterparty was not the Affected Party). The “Section 13 Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Underlying Shares that Dealer and any of its affiliates or any other person subject to aggregation with Dealer for purposes of the “beneficial ownership” test under Section 13 of the Exchange Act, or any “group” (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act) of which Dealer is or may be deemed to be a part beneficially owns (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act), without duplication, on such day (or, to the extent that for any reason the equivalent calculation under Section 16 of the Exchange Act applies with respect to the Shares or Underlying Shares, as applicable, and the rules and regulations thereunder results in a higher number, such higher number) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Underlying 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 number of Underlying Shares represented by one Share and (2) the aggregate number of Underlying Shares underlying any other call option transaction sold by Dealer to Counterparty, and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Underlying Shares outstanding. The “Share Amount” as of any day is the number of Underlying Shares that Dealer and any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Dealer (Dealer or any such person, a “Dealer Person”) under any law, rule, regulation, regulatory order or organizational documents or contracts of Counterparty that are, in each case, applicable to ownership of Underlying Shares (“Applicable Restrictions”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion. The “Applicable Share Limit” means a number of Underlying Shares equal to (A) the minimum number of Underlying Shares that could give rise to reporting or registration obligations (except for any filing requirements on Form 13F, Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G under the Exchange Act, in each case, as in effect on the Trade Date) or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval from any person or entity) of a Dealer Person, or could result in an adverse effect on a Dealer Person, under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Dealer in good faith and in its commercially reasonable discretion, minus (B) 1% of the number of Underlying Shares outstanding.

(iii)

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

(f)

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

(i)

in such notice, Dealer will specify to Counterparty the related Staggered Settlement Dates (the first of which will be such Nominal Settlement Date and the last of which will be no later than the twentieth (20^th) Exchange Business Day following such Nominal Settlement Date) and the number of Shares that it will deliver on each Staggered Settlement Date;

(ii)

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

(iii)

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

(g)

Role of Agent. As a broker-dealer registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC in its capacity as Agent will be responsible for (i) effecting the Transaction, (ii) issuing all required confirmations and statements to Dealer and Counterparty, (iii) maintaining books and records relating to the Transaction as required by Rules 17a-3 and 17a-4 under the Exchange Act and (iv) unless otherwise requested by Counterparty, receiving, delivering, and safeguarding Counterparty’s funds and any securities in connection with each Transaction, in compliance with Rule 15c3-3 under the Exchange Act.

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC is acting in connection with the Transaction solely in its capacity as Agent for Dealer and Counterparty pursuant to instructions from Dealer and Counterparty. Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC shall have no responsibility or personal liability to Dealer or Counterparty arising from any failure by Dealer or Counterparty to pay or perform any obligations hereunder, or to monitor or enforce compliance by Dealer or Counterparty with any obligation hereunder, including without limitation, any obligations to maintain collateral. Each of Dealer and Counterparty agrees to proceed solely against the other to collect or recover any securities or monies owing to it in connection with or as a result of the Transaction. Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC shall otherwise have no liability in respect of the Transaction, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct in performing its duties as Agent.

Any and all notices, demands, or communications of any kind relating to this Transaction between Dealer and Counterparty shall be transmitted exclusively through Agent at the following address:

(i)

Additional Termination Events.

(i)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, upon any conversion of a Convertible Note occurring prior to the 45th Scheduled Valid Day immediately prior to the Expiration Date (any such conversion, an “Early Conversion”) in respect of which a Conversion Notice that is effective as to Counterparty has been delivered by the relevant converting Holder:

(A)

Counterparty may, within two Scheduled Trading Days of the date on which the Holder (as such term is defined in the Indenture) of such Convertible Note satisfies all of the requirements for conversion thereof as set forth in Section 14.02 of the Indenture (the “Conversion Date”) for such Early Conversion, provide written notice (an “Early Conversion Notice”) to Dealer specifying the number of Convertible Notes surrendered for conversion on such Conversion Date (such Convertible Notes, the “Affected Convertible Notes”), and the giving of such Early Conversion Notice shall constitute an Additional Termination Event as provided in this clause (i) (provided that Counterparty acknowledges its responsibilities under applicable securities laws, and in particular Section 9 and Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, in respect of any Early Conversion Notice);

(B)

upon receipt of any such Early Conversion Notice, Dealer shall designate an Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date (which Exchange Business Day shall be no earlier than one Scheduled Trading Day following the Conversion Date for such Early Conversion) with respect to the portion of the Transaction corresponding to a number of Options (the “Affected Number of Options”) equal to the lesser of (x) the number of Affected Convertible Notes minus the “Affected Number of Options” (as defined in the Base Call Option Transaction Confirmation letter agreement dated January 30, 2019 between Dealer and Counterparty (the “Base Call Option Confirmation”)), if any, that relate to such Affected Convertible Notes minus the “Affected Number of Options” (as defined in the Additional Call Option Transaction Confirmation dated February 13, 2019 between Dealer and Counterparty (the “First Additional Call Option Confirmation”)), if any, that relate to such Affected Convertible Notes and (y) the Number of Options as of the Conversion Date for such Early Conversion;

(C)

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

(D)

for the avoidance of doubt, in determining the amount payable in respect of such Affected Transaction pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement, the Calculation Agent shall assume that (x) the relevant Early Conversion and any conversions, adjustments, agreements, payments, deliveries or acquisitions by or on behalf of Counterparty leading thereto had not occurred, (y) no adjustments to the Conversion Rate have occurred pursuant to any Excluded Provision and (z) the corresponding Convertible Notes remain outstanding; and

(E)

the Transaction shall remain in full force and effect, except that, as of the Conversion Date for such Early Conversion, the Number of Options shall be reduced by the Affected Number of Options.

(ii)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation if an event of default with respect to Counterparty occurs under the terms of the Convertible Notes as set forth in Section 6.01 of the Indenture and such event of default results in the Convertible Notes being accelerated and declared due and payable, then such event of default shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (A) Counterparty shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, (B) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (C) Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement (which Early Termination Date shall be on or as promptly as reasonably practicable after Dealer becomes aware of the occurrence of such acceleration).

(iii)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, the occurrence of an Amendment Event shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (A) Counterparty shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, (B) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (C) Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement. “Amendment Event” means that Counterparty amends, modifies, supplements, waives or obtains a waiver in respect of any term of the Indenture or the Convertible Notes governing the principal amount, coupon, maturity, repurchase obligation of Counterparty, tax redemption right of Counterparty, any term relating to conversion of the Convertible Notes (including changes to the conversion rate, conversion rate adjustment provisions, conversion settlement dates or conversion conditions), or any term that would require consent of the holders of not less than 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to amend (other than, in each case, any amendment or supplement (x) pursuant to Section 10.01(i) of the Indenture that, as determined by the Calculation Agent, conforms the Indenture to the description of Convertible Notes in the Offering Memorandum or (y) pursuant to Section 14.07 of the Indenture), in each case, without the consent of Dealer.

(iv)

Promptly (but in any event within five Scheduled Trading Days) following any Repurchase Event (as defined below), Counterparty shall notify Dealer of such Repurchase Event and the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes subject to such Repurchase Event (any such notice, a “Convertible Notes Repurchase Notice”); provided that any such Convertible Notes Repurchase Notice shall contain a repetition by Counterparty of the representation set forth in Section 8(f) as of the date of such Convertible Notes Repurchase Notice and an acknowledgment by Counterparty of its responsibilities under applicable securities laws, and in particular Section 9 and Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, in respect of such Repurchase Event and the delivery of such Convertible Notes Repurchase Notice. Any Convertible Notes Repurchase Notice delivered to Dealer pursuant to the Base Call Option Confirmation shall be deemed to be a Convertible Notes Repurchase Notice pursuant to this Confirmation and the terms of such Convertible Notes Repurchase Notice shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to this Confirmation. The receipt by Dealer from Counterparty of any Convertible Notes Repurchase Notice shall constitute an Additional Termination Event as provided in this Section 9(i)(iv). Upon receipt of any such Convertible Notes Repurchase Notice, Dealer shall designate an Exchange Business Day following receipt of such Convertible Notes Repurchase Notice (which Exchange Business Day shall be on or as promptly as reasonably practicable following the settlement date for such Repurchase Event) as an Early Termination Date with respect to the portion of the Transaction corresponding to a number of Options (the “Repurchase Options”) equal to the lesser of (A) (x) the aggregate principal amount of such Convertible Notes specified in such Convertible Notes Repurchase Notice, divided by USD 1,000 minus (y) the “Repurchase Options” (as defined in the Base Call Option Confirmation), if any, that relate to such Convertible Notes minus (z) the “Repurchase Options” (as defined in the First Additional Call Option Confirmation), if any, that relate to such Convertible Notes and (B) the Number of Options as of the date Dealer designates such Early Termination Date and, as of such date, the Number of Options shall be reduced by the number of Repurchase Options. Any payment hereunder with respect to such termination (the “Repurchase Unwind Payment”) shall be calculated pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (1) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Transaction and a Number of Options equal to the number of Repurchase Options, (2) Counterparty were the sole Affected Party with respect to such Additional Termination Event and (3) the terminated portion of the Transaction were the sole Affected Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, in determining the amount payable in respect of such Affected Transaction pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement, Dealer shall assume that (x) the relevant Repurchase Event and any conversions, adjustments, agreements, payments, deliveries or acquisitions by or on behalf of Counterparty leading thereto had not occurred, (y) no adjustments to the Conversion Rate have occurred pursuant to any Excluded Provisions and (z) the corresponding Convertible Notes remain outstanding). “Repurchase Event” means that (i) any Convertible Notes are repurchased or redeemed (whether pursuant to Section 15.01 of the Indenture, Section 15.02 of the Indenture, Section 16.01 of the Indenture or otherwise) by Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) any Convertible Notes are delivered to Counterparty in exchange for delivery of any property or assets of Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries (howsoever described), including for the avoidance of doubt shares or American depositary shares of Issuer and/or cash, (iii) any principal of any of the Convertible Notes is repaid prior to the final maturity date of the Convertible Notes (other than upon acceleration of the Convertible Notes described in Section 9(i)(ii)), or (iv) any Convertible Notes are exchanged by or for the benefit of the holders thereof for any other securities of Counterparty or any of its affiliates (or any other property, or any combination thereof) pursuant to any exchange offer or similar transaction; provided that any conversion of Convertible Notes pursuant to the terms of the Indenture shall not constitute a Repurchase Event. Counterparty acknowledges and agrees that if an Additional Termination Event has occurred under this Section 9(i)(iv) that any related Convertible Notes subject to a Repurchase Event will be promptly cancelled under the applicable provisions of the Indenture and, in any event, will be deemed to be cancelled and disregarded and no longer outstanding for all purposes hereunder.

(j)

Amendments to Equity Definitions.

(i)

Solely in respect of adjustments to the Cap Price pursuant to Section 9(y), Section 11.2(e)(vii) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the words “that may have a diluting or concentrative effect on the theoretical value of the relevant Shares” and replacing them with the words “that is the result of a corporate event involving the Underlying Shares Issuer or its securities that has a material economic effect on the Shares and/or the Underlying Shares or options on the Shares and/or the Underlying Shares; provided that such event is not based on (a) an observable market, other than the market for the Underlying Shares Issuer’s own stock or (b) an observable index, other than an index calculated and measured solely by reference to the Underlying Shares Issuer’s own operations.”

(ii)

Section 12.6(a)(ii) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by (1) inserting “(1)” immediately following the word “means” in the first line thereof and (2) inserting immediately prior to the semi-colon at the end of subsection (B) thereof the following words: “or (2) the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(1) through (9) of the ISDA Master Agreement with respect to that Issuer” provided that the period for dismissal, discharge, stay or restraint therein shall be increased from “within 15 days” to “within 30 days.”

(iii)

Section 12.9(b)(i) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by (1) replacing “either party may elect” with “Dealer may elect” and (2) replacing “notice to the other party” with “notice to Counterparty” in the first sentence of such section.

(k)

Setoff. Neither party shall have the right to set off any obligation that it may have to the other party under the 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 and each party hereby waives any such right to setoff.

(l)

Adjustments. For the avoidance of doubt, whenever the Calculation Agent is called upon to make an adjustment pursuant to the terms of this Confirmation or the Equity Definitions to take into account the effect of an event (other than on adjustments made by reference to the Indenture), the Calculation Agent shall make such adjustment in a commercially reasonable manner by reference to the effect of such event on Dealer, assuming that Dealer maintains a commercially reasonable hedge position

(m)

Alternative Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events. If (a) an Early Termination Date (whether as a result of an Event of Default or a Termination Event) occurs or is designated with respect to the Transaction or (b) the Transaction is cancelled or terminated upon the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event, and if Dealer would owe any amount to Counterparty pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement or any Cancellation Amount pursuant to Article 12 of the Equity Definitions (any such amount, a “Payment Obligation”), Counterparty may request Dealer to satisfy the Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative (as defined below) (except as a result of (i) a Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event in which the consideration to be paid to holders of Shares and/or Underlying Shares, as applicable, consists solely of cash, (ii) an Announcement Event, Merger Event or Tender Offer that is within Counterparty’s control, or (iii) an Event of Default in which Counterparty is the Defaulting Party or a Termination Event in which Counterparty is the Affected Party other than an Event of Default of the type described in Section 5(a)(iii), (v), (vi), (vii) or (viii) of the Agreement or a Termination Event of the type described in Section 5(b) of the Agreement, in each case that resulted from an event or events outside Counterparty’s control), as long as Counterparty remakes the representation set forth in Section 8(f) as of the date of such election, and Counterparty shall give irrevocable telephonic notice to Dealer, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day, no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of the Announcement Event, 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 if Counterparty does not validly request Dealer to satisfy the Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative, Dealer shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to satisfy its Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative, notwithstanding Counterparty’s failure to elect or election to the contrary. If such election is not made, then the provisions of Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions, or the provisions of Section 6(d)(ii) and Section 6(e) of the Agreement, as the case may be, shall apply.

	Share Termination Alternative:	If applicable, Dealer shall deliver to Counterparty the Share Termination Delivery Property on, or as promptly as commercially reasonably practicable thereafter, the date when the relevant Payment Obligation would otherwise be due pursuant to Section 12.7 or 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or Section 6(d)(ii) and 6(e) of the Agreement, as applicable, in satisfaction of such Payment Obligation in the manner reasonably requested by Counterparty 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 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, 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:	One Share or, if the Shares or Underlying Shares, as applicable, have changed into cash or any other property or the right to receive cash or any other property as the result of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event (any such cash or other property, the “Exchange Property”), a unit consisting of the type and amount of such Exchange Property received by a holder of one Share or Underlying Share, as applicable (without consideration of any requirement to pay cash or other consideration in lieu of fractional amounts of any securities) in such Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event, as determined by the Calculation Agent. If such Naturalization, Insolvency, or Merger Event involves a choice of Exchange Property to be received by holders, such holders shall be deemed to have elected to receive the maximum possible amount of cash.

	Failure to Deliver:	Applicable

	Other applicable provisions:	If Share Termination Alternative is applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9 and 9.11 (as modified above) of the Equity Definitions and the provisions set forth opposite the caption “Representation and Agreement” in Section 2 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 the Transaction means that Share Termination Alternative is applicable to the Transaction.

(n)

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 either 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, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications provided herein.

(o)

Registration. Counterparty hereby agrees that if, in the good faith reasonable judgment of Dealer, based on the advice of counsel, the Shares and/or Underlying Shares (“Hedge Shares”) acquired by Dealer for the purpose of commercially reasonably hedging its obligations pursuant to the Transaction cannot be sold in the public market by Dealer without registration under the Securities Act, Counterparty shall, at its election, either (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 and enter into an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Dealer, substantially in the form of an underwriting agreement customary for a registered secondary offering of a similar size in respect of a similar issuer; provided, however, that if Dealer, in its sole reasonable discretion, is not satisfied with access to due diligence materials, the results of its due diligence investigation, or the procedures and documentation for the registered offering referred to above, then clause (ii) or clause (iii) of this paragraph shall apply at the election of Counterparty, (ii) in order to allow Dealer to sell the Hedge Shares in a private placement, use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into a private placement agreement substantially similar to private placement purchase agreements customary for private placements of equity securities of a similar size in respect of a similar issuer, in form and substance satisfactory to Dealer (in which case, the Calculation Agent shall make any adjustments to the terms of the Transaction that are necessary, in its commercially reasonable judgment, to compensate Dealer for any commercially reasonable discount from the public market price of the Shares and/or Underlying Shares incurred on the sale of Hedge Shares in a private placement), or (iii) purchase the Hedge Shares from Dealer at the then-current market price on such Exchange Business Days, and in the amounts and at such time(s), reasonably requested by Dealer.

(p)

Tax 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.

(q)

Right to Extend. Dealer may postpone or add, in whole or in part, any Valid Day or Valid Days during the Settlement Averaging Period or any other date of valuation, payment or delivery by Dealer, with respect to some or all of the Options hereunder, if Dealer reasonably determines, in the case of clause (i) below, in its commercially reasonable judgment or, in the case of clause (ii) below, based on advice of counsel, that such action is reasonably necessary or appropriate (i) to preserve Dealer’s commercially reasonable hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions in the relevant market or (ii) to enable Dealer to effect transactions with respect to Shares and/or Underlying Shares in connection with its commercially reasonable hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, 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 adopted by Dealer in good faith so long as such policies and procedures are generally applicable in similar situations and applied in a non-discriminatory manner); provided that no such Valid Day or other date of valuation, payment or delivery may be postponed or added more than 40 Valid Days after the original Valid Day or other date of valuation, payment or delivery, as the case may be.

(r)

Status of Claims in Bankruptcy. Dealer acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to convey to Dealer rights against Counterparty with respect to the Transaction that are senior to the claims of common or ordinary shareholders of Counterparty in any United States or Cayman Islands bankruptcy proceedings of Counterparty; 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 Counterparty 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.

(s)

Securities Contract; Swap Agreement. The parties hereto intend for (i) 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, (ii) 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 (iii) 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.

(t)

Notice of Certain Other Events. Counterparty covenants and agrees that:

(i)

promptly following the public announcement of the results of any election by the holders of Shares and/or Underlying Shares, as applicable, with respect to the consideration due upon consummation of any Merger Event, Counterparty shall give Dealer written notice of (x) the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration that holders of Shares and/or Underlying Shares, as applicable, have elected to receive upon consummation of such Merger Event or (y) if no holders of Shares and/or Underlying Shares, as applicable, affirmatively make such election, the types and amounts of consideration actually received by holders of Shares and/or Underlying Shares, as applicable, (the date of such notification, the “Consideration Notification Date”); provided that in no event shall the Consideration Notification Date be later than the date on which such Merger Event is consummated;

(ii)

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

(iii)

Counterparty will provide a written notice to Dealer immediately upon becoming aware that Counterparty is not or will no longer be a “foreign private issuer,” as such term is defined in Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act.

(u)

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

(v)

Agreements and Acknowledgements Regarding Hedging. Counterparty understands, acknowledges and agrees that: (A) at any time on and prior to the Expiration Date, Dealer and its affiliates may buy or sell Shares, Underlying Shares or other securities or buy or sell options or futures contracts or enter into swaps or other derivative securities in order to adjust its hedge position with respect to the Transaction; (B) Dealer and its affiliates also may be active in the market for Shares and/or Underlying Shares other than in connection with hedging activities in relation to the Transaction; (C) Dealer shall make its own determination as to whether, when or in what manner any hedging or market activities in securities of Issuer and/or Underlying Shares Issuer shall be conducted and shall do so in a manner that it deems appropriate to hedge its price and market risk with respect to the Relevant Prices; and (D) any market activities of Dealer and its affiliates with respect to Shares and/or Underlying Shares may affect the market price and volatility of Shares and/or Underlying Shares, as well as the Relevant Prices, each in a manner that may be adverse to Counterparty.

(w)

Early Unwind. In the event the sale of the “Option Securities” (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) is not consummated with the Initial Purchasers for any reason, or Counterparty fails to deliver to Dealer opinions of counsel as required pursuant to Section 9(a), in each case by 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Premium Payment Date, or such later date as agreed upon by the parties (the Premium Payment Date or such later date the “Early Unwind Date”), the Transaction shall automatically terminate (the “Early Unwind”), on the Early Unwind Date and (i) the Transaction and all of the respective rights and obligations of Dealer and Counterparty under the Transaction shall be cancelled and terminated and (ii) 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 the other party arising out of and to be performed in connection with the Transaction either prior to or after the Early Unwind Date. Each of Dealer and Counterparty represents and acknowledges to the other that, upon an Early Unwind, all obligations with respect to the Transaction shall be deemed fully and finally discharged.

(x)

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

(y)

Other Adjustments Pursuant to the Equity Definitions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, solely for the purpose of adjusting the Cap Price, the terms “Potential Adjustment Event,” “Merger Event,” and “Tender Offer” shall each have the meanings assigned to such term in the Equity Definitions (as amended by Section 9(j)(i) or, if applicable, by the definition of “Announcement Event”), and upon the occurrence of a Merger Date, the occurrence of a Tender Offer Date, or declaration by Counterparty of the terms of any Potential Adjustment Event, respectively, as such terms are defined in the Equity Definitions, the Calculation Agent may, in its sole discretion, adjust the Cap Price to preserve the fair value of the Options; provided that in no event shall the Cap Price be less than the Strike Price; provided further that any adjustment to the Cap Price made pursuant to this Section 9(y) shall be made without duplication of any other adjustment hereunder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, adjustment made pursuant to the provisions opposite the captions “Method of Adjustment,” “Consequences of Merger Events/Tender Offers” and “Consequence of Announcement Events” in Section 3 above). For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 9(y), Section 12.1(d) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by replacing “10%” with “20%” in the third line thereof.

(z)

Service of Process. Counterparty irrevocably appoints Law Debenture Corporate Services Inc. as its authorized agent upon which process may be served in any suit, action or proceeding relating to the Transaction, and agrees that service of process in any manner permitted by applicable law upon such agent shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process in any manner permitted by applicable law upon Counterparty in any such suit, action or proceeding. Counterparty further agrees to take any and all action as may be necessary to maintain such designation and appointment of such agent in full force and effect for a period of five and a half years from the date of this Confirmation. If for any reason such agent shall cease to be such agent for service of process, Counterparty shall forthwith appoint a new agent of recognized standing for service of process in the State of New York and deliver to Dealer a copy of the new agent’s acceptance of that appointment within 10 days. Nothing herein shall affect the right of Dealer to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against Counterparty in any other court of competent jurisdiction.

(aa)

Taxes, Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act and HIRE Act. Counterparty is classified as a corporation for the U.S. federal income tax purposes. No income received or to be received under the Agreement will be effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by Counterparty in the United States. Counterparty is a “non-U.S. branch of a foreign person” as that term is used in Section 1.1441-4(a)(3)(ii) of the United States Treasury Regulations (the “Regulations”), and it is a “foreign person” as that term is used in Section 1.6041-4(a)(4) of the Regulations. The term “Indemnifiable Tax” as defined in Section 14 of the Agreement shall not include any U.S. federal withholding tax imposed or collected pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such Sections of the Code (a “FATCA Withholding Tax”). For the avoidance of doubt, a FATCA Withholding Tax is a Tax the deduction or withholding of which is required by applicable law for the purposes of Section 2(d) of the Agreement. The parties agree that the definitions and provisions contained in the ISDA 2015 Section 871(m) Protocol, as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. and as may be amended, supplemented, replaced or superseded from time to time (the “871(m) Protocol”) shall apply to the Agreement as if the parties had adhered to the 871(m) Protocol as of the Effective Date. If there is any inconsistency between this provision and a provision in any other agreement executed between the parties, this provision shall prevail unless such other agreement expressly overrides the provisions of the 871(m) Protocol. Each of Dealer and Counterparty shall provide to the other party tax forms and documents required to be delivered pursuant to Sections 1471(b) or Section 1472(b)(1) of the Code promptly upon request by the other party and any other tax forms and documents they are legally able to provide that are reasonably requested by the other party.

(bb)

U.S. Tax Forms. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Counterparty will provide a US Tax Form W-8BEN-E upon the execution of this Confirmation, promptly upon learning that any such tax form previously provided by it has become obsolete or incorrect and promptly upon reasonable demand by Dealer.

(cc)

(B)

In making any adjustment following any Potential Adjustment Event, the Calculation Agent shall have reference to (to the extent necessary or appropriate among other factors) any adjustment made by the Depositary under the Deposit Agreement, any fees and/or expenses of the Depositary and any withholding or deduction of taxes. If the Calculation Agent determines that no adjustment that it could make will produce a commercially reasonable result, it shall notify the parties that the relevant consequence shall be the termination of the relevant Transaction, in which case “Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination)” will be deemed to apply and any payment to be made by one party to the other shall be calculated in accordance with Section 12.7 of the Equity Definitions (as amended by this Confirmation).

(C)

If a Potential Adjustment Event occurs under Section 11.2(e)(viii) of the Equity Definitions (as amended by this Confirmation), then the following further amendments shall be deemed to be made to Section 11.2(c) of the Equity Definitions in respect of such Potential Adjustment Event:

The consequence of a Nationalization or Insolvency in respect of the Depositary shall be Cancellation and Payment.

If a Delisting of the Shares occurs or the Depositary announces that the Deposit Agreement is (or will be) terminated, then:

(i)

Cancellation and Payment will apply as provided in this Confirmation; and

(ii)

where Cancellation and Payment applies under (H)(i) above in respect of a termination of the Deposit Agreement, the Equity Definitions shall be interpreted as follows: (i) such termination shall be deemed to be an “Extraordinary Event”; (ii) Cancellation and Payment shall apply as defined in Section 12.6(c)(ii) of the Equity Definitions; and (iii) the definition of “Announcement Date” in Section 12.1(l) of the Equity Definitions shall include the following additional clause (vii) at the end of the first sentence thereof: “(vii) in the case of a termination of the Deposit Agreement, the date of the first public announcement by the Depositary that the Deposit Agreement is (or will be) terminated”.

(I)
