(“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 June 11, 2019 (the “Offering Memorandum”) relating to the 1.75%
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 300,000,000 (as increased by up
to an aggregate principal amount of USD 45,000,000 if and to the extent that the Initial Purchasers (as defined herein) exercise their option to purchase additional
Convertible Notes pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (as defined herein)) pursuant to an Indenture to be dated June 14, 2019, between Counterparty and Wilmington Trust, National Association, 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 draft of the Indenture last reviewed by Dealer as of the
date of this Confirmation, and if any such section numbers are changed in the Indenture as executed, the parties will amend this Confirmation in good faith to preserve the intent of the parties. 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(k) 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, 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 10(i)(iii) below) unless the parties agree otherwise in writing.
For the purposes of the Equity Definitions, the Transaction shall be deemed to be a Share Option Transaction.
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)) on the Trade Date, (ii)
in respect of Section 5(a)(vi) of the Agreement, (a) the “Cross Default” provisions shall apply to Dealer and Counterparty, with a “Threshold Amount” of USD $10 million for Counterparty and a “Threshold Amount” of three
percent of the shareholders’ equity of Dealer’s ultimate parent as of the Trade Date for Dealer, (b) the phrase “or becoming capable at such time of being declared” shall be deleted from clause (1) of such section and (c) the following language
shall be added to the end thereof: “Notwithstanding the foregoing, a default under subsection (2) hereof shall not constitute an Event of Default if (x) the default was caused solely by error or omission of an administrative or operational nature;
(y) funds were available to enable the party to make the payment when due; and (z) the payment is made within two Local Business Days of such party’s receipt of written notice of its failure to pay.”, and (iii) the term “Specified Indebtedness”
shall have the meaning specified in Section 14 of the Agreement, except that such term shall not include obligations in respect of deposits received in the ordinary course of a party’s banking business). 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.

USD 1,000 and (2) the Daily Option Value, divided by (B) the number of Valid Days in the Settlement Averaging Period; provided that if the calculation in clause (A) above results in zero or a negative number for any Valid Day, the Daily Combination

number, the Daily Option Value for such Valid Day shall be deemed to be zero. In no event will the Daily Option Value be less than zero.

Adjustments applicable to the Transaction:

Notwithstanding Section 11.2(e) of the Equity Definitions (which Section shall not apply for purposes of the Transaction, except as provided in Section 10(y)
below), a “Potential Adjustment Event” means an occurrence of any event or condition, as set forth in any Dilution Adjustment Provision, that would result in an adjustment under the Indenture to the “Conversion Rate” or the composition
of a “unit of Reference Property” or to any “Last Reported Sale Price,” “Daily VWAP,” “Daily Conversion Value” or “Daily Settlement Amount” (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 are entitled to participate, in each case, in lieu of an adjustment under the Indenture of the type referred to in the immediately preceding

|
9
| Method of Adjustment: |
Calculation Agent Adjustment, which means that, notwithstanding Section 11.2(c) of the Equity Definitions (which Section shall not apply for purposes of the
Transaction, except as provided in Section 10(y) below), upon any Potential Adjustment Event, the Calculation Agent shall make an adjustment to any one or more of the Strike Price, the Option Entitlement, the Relevant Price and/or other
applicable price with respect to the Shares and the composition of the “Shares” hereunder, in each case, corresponding to the applicable adjustment required to be made pursuant to the Indenture.
|
Notwithstanding the foregoing and “Consequences of Merger Events / Tender Offers”
below:
10
| (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.
|
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.

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.

apply for purposes of the Transaction except as provided in Section 10(y) below), 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,
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 includes (or, at the option of a holder
of Shares, may include) shares of an entity or person that is not a corporation or is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia or (ii) the Counterparty to the Transaction following
such Merger Event or Tender Offer will not be a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, then, in either case, Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination) may
apply at Dealer’s sole 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.

Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment as set forth in Section 12.3(d) of the Equity Definitions;

Event”, (y) the phrase “exercise, settlement, payment or any other terms of the Transaction (including, without limitation, the spread)” shall be replaced with the phrase “Cap Price (provided that in no event shall the Cap Price be less
than the Strike Price)” and the words “whether within a commercially reasonable (as determined by the Calculation Agent) period of time prior to or after the Announcement Event” shall be inserted prior to the word “which” in the seventh
line, and (z) for the avoidance of doubt, the Calculation Agent may determine whether the relevant Announcement Event has had a material economic effect on the Transaction (and, if so, and if it determines that making the relevant
adjustment would be commercially reasonable, shall adjust the Cap Price accordingly) on one or more occasions on or after the date of the Announcement Event up to, and including, the Expiration Date, any Early Termination Date and/or any
other date of cancellation, it being understood that any adjustment in respect of an Announcement Event shall take into account any earlier adjustment relating to the same Announcement Event and shall not be duplicative of any other
adjustment or cancellation valuation made pursuant to this Confirmation, the Equity Definitions or the Agreement; provided that
in no event shall the Cap Price be adjusted to be less than the Strike Price. An Announcement Event shall be an “Extraordinary Event” for purposes of the Equity Definitions, to which Article 12 of the Equity Definitions is applicable.

For the avoidance of doubt, the occurrence of an Announcement Event with respect to any transaction, intention or event shall not preclude the occurrence of a later Announcement Event
with respect to such transaction, intention or event. 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

replacing “10%” with “20%” in the third line thereof.

the Calculation Agent to have had a material economic effect on the Shares and/or options relating to the Shares.

Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination); provided that, in addition to the provisions of Section 12.6(a)(iii) of the Equity Definitions, it will also constitute a Delisting if the Exchange is located in the United States
and the Shares are not immediately re-listed, re-traded or re-quoted on any of the New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market or The NASDAQ Global Market (or their respective successors); if the Shares are immediately
re-listed, re-traded or re-quoted on any of the New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market or The NASDAQ Global Market (or their respective successors), such exchange or quotation system shall thereafter be deemed to be the
Exchange.

8. Representations and Warranties of Counterparty.
Each of the representations and warranties of Counterparty set forth in Section 3 of the Purchase

delivery and performance 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

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) |
In lieu of the representation set forth in Section 3(a)(iii) of the Agreement, neither the execution and delivery of this Confirmation nor the incurrence or
performance of obligations of Counterparty hereunder will conflict with or result in a breach of the certificate of incorporation 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.
|
17
| (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).
|
| (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 under, or in connection with, the Transaction; (B) will exercise independent judgment in evaluating the recommendations of any broker-dealer or its associated persons, unless it has otherwise

|
| (i) |
Counterparty hereby represents and warrants to, and covenants and agrees with, Dealer that (x) none of Dealer or any of its affiliates shall be considered

securities (including purchases of Shares) in connection with the Transaction, (y) such Hedging Activities in, or linked to, or otherwise relating to the Counterparty’s securities (including purchases of Shares) shall not trigger a
“Distribution Date” under the Plan and (z) Counterparty’s board of directors will interpret the relevant provisions of the Rights Plan, and make related calculations and determinations thereunder, in accordance with the foregoing.

of the Commodity Exchange Act.
10. Other Provisions.
18
19
| (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 (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any
security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or otherwise in violation of the Exchange Act.
|
| (e) |
Transfer or Assignment.
|
| (A) |
With respect to any Transfer Options, Counterparty shall not be released from its notice and indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 10(b) or any
obligations under Section 10(o) or 10(t) of this Confirmation;
|
| (C) |
Such transfer or assignment shall be effected on terms, including any reasonable undertakings by such third party (including, but not limited to, an
undertaking with respect to compliance with applicable securities laws in a manner that, in the reasonable judgment of Dealer, will not expose Dealer to material risks under applicable securities laws) and execution of any
documentation and delivery of legal opinions with respect to securities laws and other matters by such third party and Counterparty, as are requested and reasonably satisfactory to Dealer;
|
| (F) |
Without limiting the generality of clause (B), Counterparty shall cause the transferee to make such Payee Tax Representations and to provide such tax
documentation as may be reasonably requested by Dealer to permit Dealer to determine that results described in clauses (D) and (E) will not occur upon or after such transfer and assignment; and
|
| (G) |
Counterparty shall be responsible for all commercially reasonable costs and expenses, including commercially reasonable counsel fees, incurred by Dealer in
connection with such transfer or assignment.
|
20
| (ii) |
Dealer may transfer or assign all or any part of its rights or obligations under the Transaction (A) without Counterparty’s consent (but with written notice
to Counterparty within a commercially reasonable period of time of such transfer or assignment), 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 or Dealer’s ultimate parent
(provided that in connection with any assignment or transfer pursuant to clause (A)(2) hereof, the guarantee of any guarantor of the relevant transferee’s obligations under the Transaction shall constitute a Credit Support Document
under the Agreement) or (B) with Counterparty’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to any other third party financial institution that is a recognized dealer in the market for U.S. corporate equity
derivatives and that has a long-term issuer rating equal to or better than the lesser of (1) the credit rating of Dealer at the time of the transfer or assignment and (2) A- by S&P Global Ratings or its successor (“S&P”), or A3 by Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. or is successor (“Moody’s”) or, if either S&P or Moody’s ceases to rate such debt, at least an equivalent rating or better by a substitute rating agency mutually agreed by Counterparty and Dealer; provided that, in the case of any transfer or assignment described in clause (A) or (B) above, (I) such a transfer or assignment
shall not occur unless an Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or Termination Event will not occur as a result of such transfer and assignment; (II) at the time of such transfer or assignment either (i) each Dealer and the
transferee in any such transfer or assignment is a “dealer in securities” within the meaning of Section 475(c)(1) of the Code or (ii) the transfer or assignment does not result in a deemed exchange by Counterparty within the meaning
of Section 1001 of the Code; and (III) after any such transfer or assignment (a) Counterparty will not, as a result of any withholding or deduction made by the transferee or assignee as a result of any Tax, receive from the transferee
or assignee on any payment date or delivery date (after accounting for amounts paid by the transferee or assignee under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement as well as such withholding or deduction) an amount or a number of Shares, as
applicable, lower than the amount or the number of Shares, as applicable, that Dealer would have been required to pay or deliver to Counterparty in the absence of such transfer or assignment, (b) 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 an amount that Counterparty would have been required to pay to Dealer in
the absence of such transfer or assignment and (c) Dealer shall cause the transferee or assignee to make such Payee Tax Representations and to provide such tax documentation as may be reasonably requested by Counterparty to permit
Counterparty to make any necessary determinations pursuant to clauses (II)(a) and (b) of this proviso. If at any time at which (A) the Section 16 Percentage exceeds 4.5%, (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 (after giving effect to such transfer or assignment and any resulting change in Dealer’s commercially reasonable Hedge Positions) 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”),
such that (after giving effect to such transfer or assignment and any resulting change in Dealer’s commercially reasonable Hedge Positions) 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 10(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 16 Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A)
the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Dealer and any of its affiliates 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 and the rules and regulations thereunder results in a higher number, such higher number) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of
Shares outstanding on such day. The “Option Equity Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the
numerator of which is the sum of (1) the product of the Number of Options and the Option Entitlement and (2) the aggregate number of Shares underlying any other call option transaction sold by Dealer to Counterparty, and (B) the
denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding. The “Share Amount” as of any day is the number of 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 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 Shares equal to (A) the minimum
number of Shares that could give rise to reporting or registration obligations 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 its reasonable discretion, minus (B) 1% of the number of
Shares outstanding.
|
21
| (f) |
Staggered Settlement. If upon advice of
counsel with respect to applicable legal and regulatory requirements, including any requirements relating to Dealer’s commercially reasonable 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:
|
| (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 or the Combination Settlement terms set forth above were to apply on the Nominal Settlement Date, then the Net Share
Settlement terms or the Combination Settlement terms, as the case may be, 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.
|
22
| (g) |
[Reserved.]
|
| (h) |
[Reserved.]
|
| (A) |
Counterparty shall, within five Scheduled Trading Days of the “Conversion Date” (as defined in the Indenture) 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 anticipated settlement date, and the giving of such Early Conversion Notice shall constitute an Additional Termination Event as provided in this clause (i);
|
| (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 correspond to a settlement date in respect of the Affected Number of Options (as defined below) that occurs on or as promptly as reasonably practicable after the related conversion settlement date for the Affected Convertible
Notes 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 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 (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 10(m) shall apply to any amount that is payable by Dealer to
Counterparty pursuant to this Section 10(i)(i)(C) as if, solely for the purpose of electing the settlement method, Counterparty were not the Affected Party); provided that the amount payable with respect to such termination shall not be greater than (1) the Applicable Percentage, multiplied by (2) the Affected Number of Options, multiplied by (3) (x) the sum of (i) the amount
of cash paid (if any) to the Holder (as such term is defined in the Indenture) of an Affected Convertible Note upon conversion thereof and (ii) the number of Shares delivered (if any) to the Holder of an Affected Convertible Note upon
conversion thereof, multiplied by the Applicable Limit Price on the settlement date for the cash to be paid and/or the Shares to be delivered to the Holders (as defined in the Indenture) of such Affected Convertible Note, minus (y) USD 1,000;
|
23
| (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.
|
24
| (j) |
Amendments to Equity Definitions.
|
| (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”.
|
| (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.
|
25
|
|
Share Termination Alternative:
|
If applicable, Dealer shall deliver to Counterparty the Share Termination Delivery Property on, or within a commercially reasonable period of time after, 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.
|
26
|
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. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that in
determining the Share Termination Delivery Unit Price the Calculation Agent may consider the purchase price paid in connection with the purchase of Share Termination Delivery Property.
|
|
Share Termination Delivery Unit:
|
One Share or, if the Shares 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 (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 Nationalization, Insolvency, or Merger Event involves a choice of Exchange Property to be received by holders, such holder
shall be deemed to have elected to receive the maximum possible amount of cash.
|
|
Failure to Deliver:
|
Applicable
|
|
Other applicable provisions:
|
If Share Termination Alternative is applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9 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.
|
27
| (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), in its commercially reasonable judgment or, in the case of clause (ii), 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 stock loan market or other relevant market or (ii) to enable Dealer to effect transactions with respect to 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 100
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 stockholders of Counterparty in any United States 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.
|
28
| (i) |
