The purpose of this communication (this “Confirmation”) is to confirm the terms and conditions of the above referenced transaction entered into between Party A and Party B on the Trade Date specified below (the “Transaction”). This communication constitutes a “Confirmation” as referred to in the 1992 ISDA Master Agreement published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (the “ISDA Form”).

The definitions and provisions contained in the 2006 ISDA Definitions (the “2006 Definitions”) and in the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “Equity Definitions”, and together with the 2006 Definitions, the “Definitions”), in each case as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc., are incorporated into this Confirmation. In the event of any inconsistency between the 2006 Definitions and the Equity Definitions, the Equity Definitions will govern. In the event of any inconsistency between either set of Definitions and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will govern.

This Confirmation evidences a complete binding agreement between you and us 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 ISDA Form as if we had executed an agreement in such form (but without any Schedule except for the election of U.S. Dollars as the Termination Currency and such other elections and modifications detailed herein referring to the ISDA Form) (the “Agreement”) on the Trade Date. In addition, you and we hereby amend the Agreement by making the form of the bilateral form 1994 ISDA Credit Support Annex (to the Schedule to ISDA Agreements Subject to New York Law Only) (the “ISDA Credit Support Annex”) (as amended and supplemented herein) a part of the Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of the ISDA Credit Support Annex or the Agreement and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will prevail. For the avoidance of doubt, the Transaction shall be the only transaction under the Agreement.

The terms of the Transaction are as follows:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) any Valuation Date is a Disrupted Day only in part and (ii) the Calculation Agent determines that such Valuation Date shall be the Valuation Date for fewer than the full Number of Options for the Tranche to which such Valuation Date corresponds, then the VWAP Price for such Expiration Date shall be a volume-weighted average price per Share on such Expiration Date, as determined by the Calculation Agent based on such sources as it reasonably deems appropriate, taking into account the nature and duration of the relevant Market Disruption Event.

C. Limit on Beneficial Ownership:

Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, Party A may not exercise any Option hereunder or be entitled to exercise any right of rehypothecation under the ISDA Credit Support Annex or otherwise be entitled to take delivery of any Shares deliverable hereunder or exercise remedies as described in the ISDA Credit Support Annex in respect of Shares constituting Posted Collateral (any such exercise, exercise of rehypothecation rights, delivery or exercise of remedies, a “Share Acquisition”) and Automatic Exercise shall not apply with respect to any Option hereunder to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after such Share Acquisition, (i) the Section 16 Percentage would exceed 4.5%, or (ii) the Share Amount would exceed the Applicable Share Limit. Any purported Share Acquisition hereunder shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after such Share Acquisition, (i) the Section 16 Percentage would exceed 4.5%, or (ii) the Share Amount would exceed the Applicable Share Limit. If any Share Acquisition hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, Party B’s obligations in respect of such Share Acquisition shall not be extinguished and Party B shall fulfill such obligations as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than one Business Day after, Party A gives notice to Party B that, after such Share Acquisition, (i) the Section 16 Percentage would not exceed 4.5%, and (ii) the Share Amount would not exceed the Applicable Share Limit. “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 Party A and each person subject to aggregation of Shares with Party A under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder directly or indirectly beneficially own (as defined under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder) 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 Party A and any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Party A (Party A or any such person, a “Party A Person”) under any law, rule, regulation or regulatory order or any organizational documents of the Issuer or any agreement to which Party B is a party 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 of under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Party A 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 Party A Person, or would result in an adverse effect on a Party A Person, under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Party A in its reasonable discretion, minus (B) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding.

 

D. Right to Extend:

Party A may postpone, in whole or in part, any Valuation Date or any other date of valuation or delivery with respect to some or all of the relevant Options (in which event the Calculation Agent shall make appropriate adjustments to the Number of Options with respect to one or more Tranches) if Party A determines, in its commercially reasonable judgment, that such extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate to preserve Party A’s hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions or to enable Party A to effect purchases or sales of Shares in connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that is in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Party A.

 

E. Indemnification:
