Maximum Number of Shares: | 2,960,966, or such lower number as notified by Counterparty to [*] and the Calculation Agent from time to time in a Counterparty Election Notice, which number shall not be less than the Number of Shares applicable as at the effective date of such Counterparty Election Notice. | |

Counterparty acknowledges and agrees that the Calculation Agent may refer to the Bloomberg Page “ENIA US <Equity> AQR SEC” (or any successor thereto) (the “VWAP Source Page”), in its judgment, for such Exchange Business Day to determine the VWAP Price, and where the methodology applied by Bloomberg in producing the VWAP Source Page is more restrictive than clauses (i) to (iv) above, the Calculation Agent may, in its sole discretion, determine the VWAP Price using such methodology rather than clauses (i) to (iv) above. |

(a) | the DR Amendment shall be made, provided that an event under Section 11.2(e)(i) to (vii) of the Equity Definitions in respect of the Underlying Shares shall not constitute a Potential Adjustment Event unless, in the opinion of the Calculation Agent, such event has a diluting or concentrative effect on the theoretical value of the Shares; and |

(v) | Following the declaration by the Issuer of the terms of any Merger Event or Tender Offer in relation to the Underlying Shares, “Calculation Agent Adjustment” shall apply, provided that in each case where the Calculation Agent makes an adjustment to the Transaction the Calculation Agent may (amongst other factors) have reference to any adjustment made by the Depository under the Deposit Agreement. |

(B) where Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination) applies under clause (viii)(A) 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 (Calculation Agent Determination) 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 Depository that the Deposit Agreement is (or will be) terminated”.
