For the avoidance of doubt, if the immediately preceding sentence would result in the exercise of a fraction of a Note Hedging Unit on any day, the number of Shares and/or amount of cash deliverable in respect of such portion of a Note Hedging Unit shall be equal to the product of such fraction and the Settlement Amount applicable to a full Note Hedging Unit exercised on such day.

Expiration Date:		June 1, 2017

Multiple Exercise:		Applicable, as provided under “Required Exercise on Conversion Dates”.

Automatic Exercise:		As provided under “Required Exercise on Conversion Dates”.

Notice of Exercise:		Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Equity Definitions, in order to exercise any Note Hedging Units, Counterparty must (x) notify Dealer in writing and (y) confirm receipt by telephone to (212) 622-8783, in each case, prior to 5:00 PM, New York City time, on the “Scheduled Trading Day” prior to the first day of the “Conversion Period” relating to the Convertible Notes converted on the Conversion Date relating to the relevant Exercise Date (the “Notice Deadline”) of: (i) the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes as to which the related “Conversion Date” has occurred (including, if applicable, whether all or any portion of such Convertible Notes are Convertible Notes as to which “Additional Shares” would be added to the “Conversion Rate” pursuant to Section 8.03 of the Supplemental Indenture (the “Make-Whole Convertible Notes”)), (ii) the scheduled commencement date of the “Conversion Period” and the scheduled settlement date under the Indenture for the Convertible Notes converted on the Conversion Date corresponding to such Exercise Date, and

(iii) the applicable “Cash Percentage”; provided that, if the “Cash Percentage” specified is a percentage other than 0%, such notice shall contain an acknowledgment by Counterparty of its responsibilities under applicable securities laws, and in particular, Section 9 and 10(b) of the U.S. Securities Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules and regulations thereunder, in respect of any election of a “Cash Percentage” settlement method with respect to the relevant Convertible Notes; provided, further that if Counterparty fails to timely provide the notice described in this clause (iii) or such notice does not contain the foregoing acknowledgment to the extent required by this clause (iii), notwithstanding anything to the contrary under “Settlement Amount” below, the Settlement Amount for each relevant Note Hedging Unit shall be the Settlement Amount (as determined by the Calculation Agent) that would have been deliverable hereunder by Dealer with respect to such Note Hedging Unit if Counterparty had elected a “Cash Percentage” of 0%.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in respect of Convertible Notes with a Conversion Date during the period beginning on, and including, March 1, 2017 and ending at the close of business on the second “Scheduled Trading Day” immediately preceding the “Maturity Date”:

(x) the Notice Deadline in respect of the information set forth in clause (i) above shall be 5:00 PM, New York City time, on the “Scheduled Trading Day” immediately preceding the “Maturity Date,”

(y) the Notice of Exercise need not include the information set forth in clause (ii) above, and

(z) the Notice Deadline in respect of the information set forth in clause (iii) above shall be 5:00 PM, New York City time, on the second “Scheduled Trading Day” immediately following March 1, 2017.

For the avoidance of doubt, if Counterparty fails to give a Notice of Exercise when due in respect of any exercise of Note Hedging Units hereunder as set forth above, Dealer’s obligation to make any payment or delivery in respect of such exercise shall be permanently extinguished, and late notice shall not cure such failure; provided that a Notice of Exercise (and the related exercise of Note Hedging Units) shall be effective with respect to Note Hedging Units relating to Convertible Notes converted prior to March 1, 2017, if given after the Notice Deadline but prior to 5:00 PM New York City time on the fifth Scheduled Trading Day following the Notice Deadline, in which event the Calculation Agent shall have the right to adjust the applicable Settlement Amount as appropriate to reflect the additional costs (including, but not limited to, hedging mismatches and market losses) and reasonable expenses incurred by Dealer in connection with its hedging activities (including the unwinding of any hedge position) as a result of Dealer not having received such notice on or prior to the Notice Deadline.


Settlement Terms:

Settlement:		In lieu of the obligations set forth in Sections 8.1 and 9.1 of the Equity Definitions, and subject to “Notice of Exercise” above, in respect of any validly exercised Note Hedging Unit, Dealer shall deliver to Counterparty, on the related Settlement Date, the Settlement Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent Dealer is obligated to deliver Shares hereunder, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.11 and 9.12 of the Equity Definitions shall be applicable to any such delivery of Shares, except that all references in such provisions to “Physical Settlement” and “Physically-settled” shall be read as references to “Share Settlement” and “Share Settled”; and provided that the Representation and Agreement contained in Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions shall be modified by excluding any representations therein relating to restrictions, obligations, limitations or requirements under applicable securities laws arising from Counterparty’s status as issuer of the Shares or arising from such Shares being “restricted securities” (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)). “Share Settlement” means settlement of a Note Hedging Unit pursuant to “Settlement Amount” below, and “Share Settled” has a meaning correlative thereto.

Settlement Amount:		The aggregate of (i) the number of Shares that Counterparty is obligated to deliver and (ii) the amount of cash that Counterparty is obligated to pay less USD 1,000, in each case, to the holder of USD 1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes converted on such Conversion Date pursuant to Section 8.02 of the Supplemental Indenture. The number of Shares included in the Settlement Amount shall not take into consideration any rounding pursuant to Section 8.02(j) of the Supplemental Indenture. Instead Dealer will deliver cash in lieu of any fractional Shares based on (i) the “Daily VWAP” on the last “Trading Day” of the applicable “Conversion Period” and (ii) the aggregate number of Note Hedging Units exercised on any Exercise Date. In addition, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein: (i) the Settlement Amount shall be determined by the Calculation Agent excluding any increase to the “Conversion Rate” pursuant to Section 8.03 of the Supplemental Indenture (a “Fundamental Change Adjustment”) or any voluntary adjustment to the “Conversion Rate” pursuant to Section 8.04(g) of the Supplemental Indenture (a “Discretionary Adjustment”); and (ii) if Counterparty or its board of directors is permitted or required to exercise discretion under the terms of the Indenture with respect to any determination, calculation or adjustment (including, without limitation, any adjustment under Section 8.04(i) or 8.05 of the Supplemental Indenture, any adjustment to the terms of the Convertible Notes following a Merger Event pursuant to Section 8.07 of the Supplemental Indenture, any adjustment to the “Dividend Threshold Amount” relating to a change in the regular dividend period for purposes of Section 8.04(d) of the Supplemental Indenture or any


		determination of the fair market value of distributed property, the volume weighted average price of Shares or the value of a “unit of Reference Property”) (any such determination, calculation or adjustment, a “Counterparty Determination”), Counterparty shall consult with Dealer with respect thereto and, if the Calculation Agent disagrees in good faith with such determination, calculation or adjustment, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Calculation Agent shall make the relevant determination, calculation or adjustment for purposes of the Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, such determination, calculation or adjustment shall be made (A) in accordance with the methodology set forth in the Indenture, except as set forth herein, and (B) using, where relevant, variables determined by the Calculation Agent). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the sum of (x) the product of the number of Shares delivered in respect of a Note Hedging Unit and the Applicable Limit Price on the Settlement Date for such Note Hedging Unit and (y) the amount of cash paid in respect of any Note Hedging Unit (including any cash in lieu of any fractional Share), exceed the Applicable Limit for such Note Hedging Unit. Section 6.3(a) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the remainder of clause (ii) thereof following the words “at any time.”

Applicable Limit:		For any exercised Note Hedging Unit, an amount in USD equal to the product of the Applicable Percentage and the excess of (i) the sum of (A) the amount of cash, if any, paid to the holder of USD 1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes converted on the related Conversion Date and (B) the product of (x) the number of Shares, if any, delivered to the holder of USD 1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes converted on the related Conversion Date and (y) the Applicable Limit Price on the applicable Settlement Date over (ii) USD 1,000.

Applicable Limit Price:		On any day, the opening price as displayed under the heading “Op” on Bloomberg page MRX <equity> (or any successor thereto).

Notice of Delivery Obligation:		No later than the “Scheduled Trading Day” immediately following the last day of the relevant “Conversion Period,” Counterparty shall give Dealer notice of the final number of Shares and/or the amount of cash that Counterparty is required to deliver to holders of the relevant Convertible Notes (the “Convertible Obligation”); provided that: (i) Counterparty may provide a single such notice of the aggregate Convertible Obligation for all Convertible Notes converted on or after March 1, 2017, (ii) the requirement of Counterparty to deliver such notice shall not limit Counterparty’s obligations with respect to Notice of Exercise, as set forth above, in any way; and


		(iii) in the case of any late delivery of a Notice of Delivery Obligation, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Settlement Date for any related Note Hedging Unit shall be the second Scheduled Trading Day following the date such notice is delivered; provided, further, that if Counterparty fails to deliver such notice prior to 5:00 PM New York City time on the fifth “Scheduled Trading Day” following the last day of the relevant “Conversion Period,” Dealer’s obligation to make any payment or delivery in respect of the related exercise of Note Hedging Units shall be permanently extinguished and any delivery of such notice thereafter shall not cure such failure.

Settlement Date:		In respect of an Exercise Date, the settlement date for the Shares or cash to be delivered under the Convertible Notes converted on the corresponding Conversion Date under the terms of the Indenture.

Settlement Currency:		USD.

Restricted Certificated Shares:		Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Equity Definitions, Dealer may, in whole or in part, deliver Shares in certificated form representing the Share portion of the Settlement Amount to Counterparty in lieu of delivery through the Clearance System.

Share Adjustments:

Potential Adjustment Events:		Notwithstanding Section 11.2(e) of the Equity Definitions, a “Potential Adjustment Event” means any occurrence of any event or condition, as set forth in Section 8.04(i), 8.04(a)–(e) or 8.05 of the Supplemental Indenture, that would result in an adjustment under the Indenture to the “Conversion Rate” or any other term of the Convertible Notes; provided that in no event shall there be any adjustment hereunder as a result of a Fundamental Change Adjustment or a Discretionary Adjustment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) Dealer shall not have any delivery obligation hereunder in respect of any “Distributed Property” delivered by Counterparty to which the fifth sentence of Section 8.04(c) of the Supplemental Indenture would apply and no adjustment shall be made to the terms of the Transaction on account of the delivery of such “Distributed Property” to holders of the Shares and (ii) if Counterparty pays a cash dividend to which the last paragraph of Section 8.04(d) of the Supplemental Indenture would apply, Dealer will pay to Counterparty an amount of cash equal to the amount of such cash dividend that Dealer or its affiliate receives on its Hedge Positions in respect of the Transaction promptly following Dealer’s receipt thereof.

Method of Adjustment:		Calculation Agent Adjustment, which means that, notwithstanding Section 11.2(c) of the Equity Definitions, upon any Potential Adjustment Event (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Fundamental Change Adjustment or Discretionary Adjustment), the Calculation Agent shall make a corresponding adjustment to any one or more of the Strike Price, Number of Note Hedging Units, the Note Hedging Unit Entitlement, the composition of the Shares and any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement, payment or other terms of the Transaction (subject to the provisions set forth under “Settlement Amount” above in respect of any Counterparty Determination).


Dividends:		If (i) an ex-dividend date for a cash dividend or distribution on the Shares (a “Triggering Dividend”) that is less than the Regular Dividend occurs on or after the Trade Date and on or prior to the Expiration Date, or (ii) no ex-dividend date for a cash dividend or distribution on the Shares occurs in any regular dividend period of Counterparty (as determined by the Calculation Agent) that falls, in whole or in part, after the Trade Date and on or prior to the Expiration Date, then, in each case, the Calculation Agent will make such adjustments to any one or more of the variables relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment or other terms of the Transaction as it determines appropriate to account for the economic effect on the Transaction of such shortfall or lack of a dividend, as the case may be.

Regular Dividend:		For the first Triggering Dividend for which the ex-dividend date occurs within any regular dividend period of Counterparty (as determined by the Calculation Agent), USD 0.10 per Share (subject to adjustment (x) by the Calculation Agent to account for any change in the regular dividend period length and (y) as contemplated by Section 11.2(c) of the Equity Definitions), and, for any subsequent Triggering Dividend for which the ex-dividend date occurs within the same regular dividend period, zero.

Extraordinary Events:

Merger Events:		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 8.07(a) of the Supplemental Indenture.

Notice of Merger Consideration:		In respect of any Merger Event, Counterparty shall notify the Calculation Agent of (i) if applicable, the weighted average of the kind and amounts of consideration to be received by the holders of Shares in any Merger Event who affirmatively make such an election and (ii) the details of the adjustments made under the Indenture in respect of such Merger Event, in each case, reasonably promptly upon determination thereof (and in any event prior to the effective date of the Merger Event), and Counterparty shall deliver a copy of the supplemental indenture effecting such adjustments (a “Merger Supplemental Indenture”) as promptly as practicable following execution thereof.

Consequences of Merger Events:		Notwithstanding Section 12.2 of the Equity Definitions, upon the occurrence of a Merger Event, the Calculation Agent shall make the corresponding adjustment in respect of any adjustment under the Indenture to any one or more of the nature of the Shares, the Strike Price, the Number of Note Hedging Units, the Note Hedging Unit Entitlement, the Settlement Date and any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment or other terms of the Transaction to the extent an analogous adjustment is permitted or required to be made



		pursuant to the Indenture in connection with such Merger Event (subject to the provisions set forth under “Settlement Amount” above in respect of any Counterparty Determination); provided that such adjustment shall be made without regard to any Fundamental Change Adjustment or any Discretionary Adjustment; and provided further that the Calculation Agent may limit or alter any such adjustment referenced in this paragraph to preserve the intended economic benefits of the Transaction; and provided further that if, with respect to a Merger Event, (i) the consideration for the Shares includes (or, at the option of a holder of Shares, may include) shares (or depositary receipts with respect to shares) of an entity or person that is not a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia or (ii) Counterparty following such Merger Event will not be a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia or will not be either (x) the Issuer following such Merger Event or (y) a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer following such Merger Event whose obligations under the Transaction are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by such Issuer, Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination) may apply at Dealer’s sole election.

Nationalization, Insolvency and Delisting:		Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination); provided that in addition to the provisions of Section 12.6(a)(iii) of the Equity Definitions, it shall 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 such exchange or quotation system, such exchange or quotation system shall thereafter be deemed to be the Exchange.

Additional Disruption Events:

Change in Law:		Applicable; provided that Section 12.9(a)(ii) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended (i) by inserting the parenthetical “(including, for the avoidance of doubt and without limitation, adoption or promulgation of new regulations authorized or mandated by existing statute)” at the end of clause (A) thereof, (ii) by the replacement of the word “Shares” with “Hedge Positions” in clause (X) thereof; (iii) by adding the phrase “or announcement” immediately after the phrase “due to the promulgation” in the third line thereof and adding the phrase “formal or informal” before the word “interpretation” in the same line; (iv) immediately following the word “Transaction” in clause (X) thereof, adding the phrase “in the manner contemplated by the Hedging Party on the Trade Date” and (v) adding the following proviso to the end of clause (Y) thereof: “provided that such party has used commercially reasonable efforts to avoid such increased cost on terms acceptable to the Hedging Party”.

And, for the further avoidance of doubt, any such transactions or assets referred to in phrases (A) or (B) above must be available on commercially reasonable pricing terms.”; and (ii) Section 12.9(b)(iii) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by inserting in the third line thereof, after the words “to terminate the Transaction”, the words “or a portion of the Transaction affected by such Hedging Disruption”.

(xv)

Counterparty shall deliver to Dealer on the Effective Date an opinion of counsel, dated as of such date and reasonably acceptable to Dealer in form and substance, with respect to the matters set forth in Section 3(a) of the Agreement and such other matters as Dealer may reasonably request.

Miscellaneous:

Set-Off. Each party waives any and all rights it may have to set off obligations arising under the Agreement and the Transaction against other obligations between the parties, whether arising under any other agreement, applicable law or otherwise.

Qualified Financial Contracts. It is the intention of the parties that, in respect of Counterparty, (a) the Transaction shall constitute a “qualified financial contract” within the meaning of 12 U.S.C. Section 1821(e)(8)(D)(i) and (b) a Non-defaulting Party’s rights under Sections 5 and 6 of the Agreement constitute rights of the kind referred to in 12 U.S.C. Section 1821(e)(8)(A).

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 advisable to deliver, or to acquire Shares to deliver, any or all of the Shares to be delivered by Dealer on the relevant Settlement Date, Dealer may, by notice to Counterparty on or prior to any Settlement Date on which Dealer would be required to deliver Shares hereunder (a “Nominal Settlement Date”), elect to deliver such Shares on two or more dates (each, a “Staggered Settlement Date”) or at two or more times on the Nominal Settlement Date as follows: (i) in such notice, Dealer will specify to Counterparty the related Staggered Settlement Dates (each of which will be on or prior to such Nominal Settlement Date, but not prior to the beginning of the related “Conversion Period”) or delivery times and how it will allocate the Shares it is required to deliver under “Settlement” above among the Staggered Settlement Dates or delivery times; and (ii) the aggregate number of Shares that Dealer will deliver to Counterparty hereunder on all such Staggered Settlement Dates and delivery times will equal the number of Shares that Dealer would otherwise be required to deliver on such Nominal Settlement Date.

Additional Termination Events.

(i)

The occurrence of an “Event of Default” with respect to Counterparty under the terms of the Convertible Notes as set forth in Section 5.01 of the Supplemental Indenture that results in the Convertible Notes becoming or being declared due and payable pursuant to the Indenture shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (x) Counterparty shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, (y) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (z) Dealer may designate an Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement (which Exchange Business Day shall be on or as promptly as reasonably practicable after the occurrence of such acceleration).

(ii)

Promptly following, but in no event later than the fifth Exchange Business Day after, any repurchase and cancellation of Convertible Notes (whether pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Supplemental Indenture, Section 2.07 of the Supplemental Indenture or otherwise), Counterparty shall notify Dealer in writing of such repurchase and cancellation and the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes so repurchased and cancelled (any such notice, a “Repurchase Notice”); provided that such Repurchase Notice shall contain an acknowledgement by Counterparty of its responsibilities under applicable securities laws, and in particular Section 9 and 10(b) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, in respect of such repurchase and the delivery of such Repurchase Notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, the receipt by Dealer from Counterparty of any Repurchase Notice, within the applicable time period set forth in the preceding sentence and containing the acknowledgement set forth in the preceding proviso, shall constitute an Additional Termination Event as provided in this clause (ii). Upon receipt of any such Repurchase Notice, Dealer shall designate an Exchange Business Day following receipt of such Repurchase Notice (which Exchange Business Day shall be within a commercially reasonable period of time after the related settlement date for the repurchase of such Convertible Notes) as an Early Termination Date with respect to the portion of this Transaction corresponding to a number of Note Hedging Units (the “Repurchase Note Hedging Units”) equal to the lesser of (A)(x) the product of (1) the Applicable Percentage and (2) the aggregate principal amount of such Convertible Notes specified in such Repurchase Notice, divided by USD 1,000 minus (y) the number of “Repurchase Note Hedging Units” (as defined in the Base Note Hedge Confirmation), if any, that relate to such Convertible Notes and (B) the Number of Note Hedging Units as of the date Dealer designates such Early Termination Date and, as of such date, the Number of Note Hedging Units shall be reduced by the number of Repurchase Note Hedging Units. Any payment hereunder with respect to such termination 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 this Transaction and a Number of Note Hedging Units equal to the number of Repurchase Note Hedging Units, (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.

(iii)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, the receipt by Dealer from Counterparty, within the applicable time period set forth under “Notice of Exercise” above, of any Notice of Exercise in respect of Note Hedging Units that relate to Make-Whole Convertible Notes shall constitute an Additional Termination Event as provided in this clause (iii). Upon receipt of any such Notice of Exercise, Dealer shall designate an Exchange Business Day following such Additional Termination Event (which Exchange Business Day shall be within a commercially reasonable period of time after the related settlement date for such Make-Whole Convertible Notes) as an Early Termination Date with respect to the portion of this Transaction corresponding to a number of Note Hedging Units (the “Make-Whole Note Hedging Units”) equal to the lesser of (A)(x) the product of (1) the Applicable Percentage and (2) the aggregate principal amount of such Make-Whole Convertible Notes specified in such Exercise Notice, divided by USD 1,000 minus (y) the number of “Make-Whole Note Hedging Units” (as defined in the Base Note Hedge Confirmation), if any, that relate to such Make-Whole Convertible Notes and (B) the Number of Note Hedging Units as of the date Dealer designates such Early Termination Date and, as of such date, the Number of Note Hedging Units shall be reduced by the number of Make-Whole Note Hedging Units. Any payment hereunder with respect to such termination (the “Make-Whole 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 this Transaction and a Number of Note Hedging Units equal to the number of Make-Whole Note Hedging Units, (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 pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement, the Calculation Agent shall not take into account any Fundamental Change Adjustment); provided that the amount of cash deliverable in respect of such early termination by Dealer to Counterparty shall not be greater than the excess of (x) (I) the number of Make-Whole Note Hedging Units multiplied by (II) the “Conversion Rate” (after taking into account any applicable Fundamental Change Adjustment) multiplied by (III) the Applicable Limit Price on the applicable Settlement Date determined by the Calculation Agent in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner over (y) the product of USD 1,000 and the number of such Make-Whole Note Hedging Units, as determined by the Calculation Agent in a commercially reasonable manner. If Counterparty has (or is deemed to have) specified a Cash Percentage that is less than 100% in the Notice of Exercise relating to any Make-Whole Note Hedging Units, then in lieu of paying the Make-Whole Unwind Payment as set forth above, Dealer shall (A) pay to Counterparty an amount of cash equal to (1) such Cash Percentage, multiplied by (2) such Make-Whole Unwind Payment, and (B) deliver to Counterparty a number of Shares equal to (1) 100% minus such Cash Percentage, multiplied by (2) such Make-Whole Unwind Payment, divided by (3) a price per Share determined by the Calculation Agent in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, in each case, on the date such Make-Whole Unwind Payment would otherwise be due pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and this Confirmation (or within a commercially reasonable period of time thereafter, as determined by Dealer taking into account existing liquidity conditions and Dealer’s hedging and hedge unwind activity or settlement activity in connection with such payment and delivery).

Counterparty agrees that it will promptly cancel any repurchased Convertible Notes pursuant to Section 2.06 of the Supplemental Indenture.

For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions set forth below under “Alternative Calculations and Dealer Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events,” including and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein, shall apply to any Dealer Payment Obligation amount resulting from an Additional Termination Event set forth in clause (i) or (ii) above.

Disposition of Hedge Shares. Counterparty hereby agrees that if, in the good faith reasonable judgment of Dealer based on the advice of counsel, the Shares (the “Hedge Shares”) acquired by Dealer or any of its affiliates (collectively for the purposes of this paragraph only, “Dealer”) for the purpose of 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: (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 to cover the resale of such Hedge Shares and (A) enter into an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Dealer, substantially in the form of an underwriting agreement for a registered offering of substantially similar size, (B) provide accountant’s “comfort” letters in customary form for registered offerings of equity securities of substantially similar size, (C) provide disclosure opinions of nationally recognized outside counsel to Counterparty reasonably acceptable to Dealer, (D) provide other customary opinions, certificates and closing documents customary in form for registered offerings of equity securities of substantially similar size and (E) afford Dealer a reasonable opportunity to conduct a “due diligence” investigation with respect to Counterparty customary in scope for underwritten offerings of equity securities of substantially similar size; provided, however, that if Dealer, in its sole 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, enter into a private placement agreement substantially similar to private placement purchase agreements customary for private placements of equity securities of substantially similar size, in form and substance satisfactory to Dealer, including customary representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to Dealer, due diligence rights (for Dealer or any designated buyer of the Hedge Shares from Dealer), opinions and certificates and such other documentation as is customary for private placements agreements for private placements of equity securities of substantially similar size, all reasonably acceptable 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 determination, to compensate Dealer for any discount from the public market price of the Shares incurred on the sale of Hedge Shares in a private placement); or (iii) purchase the Hedge Shares from Dealer at the VWAP Price on such Exchange Business Days, and in the amounts, requested by Dealer. “VWAP Price” means, on any Exchange Business Day, the per Share volume-weighted average price as displayed under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP” on Bloomberg page MRX.N <equity> AQR (or any successor thereto) in respect of the period from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Exchange Business Day (or if such volume-weighted average price is unavailable, or is, in the Calculation Agent’s reasonable discretion, erroneous, the market value of one Share on such Exchange Business Day, as determined by the Calculation Agent using, if practicable, a volume-weighted method). This paragraph shall survive the termination, expiration or early unwind of the Transaction.

Status of Claims in Bankruptcy. Dealer acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to convey to Dealer rights with respect to the Transaction that are senior to the claims of common stockholders in any U.S. 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 other than during Counterparty’s bankruptcy; 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.

No Collateral. Notwithstanding any provision of this Confirmation, the Agreement, Equity Definitions, or any other agreement between the parties to the contrary, the obligations of Counterparty under the Transaction are not secured by any collateral.

Securities Contract; Swap Agreement. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that Dealer is a “financial institution,” “swap participant” and “financial participant” within the meaning of Sections 101(22), 101(53C) and 101(22A) of the Bankruptcy Code. The parties hereto further agree and acknowledge (A) that this Confirmation is (i) a “securities contract,” as such term is defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code, with respect to which each payment and delivery hereunder or in connection herewith is a “termination value,” “payment amount” or “other transfer obligation” within the meaning of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and a

“settlement payment” or a “transfer” within the meaning of Section 546 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (ii) a “swap agreement,” as such term is defined in Section 101(53B) of the Bankruptcy Code, with respect to which each payment and delivery hereunder or in connection herewith is a “termination value,” a “payment amount” or “other transfer obligation” within the meaning of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and a “transfer” within the meaning of Section 546 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (B) that Dealer is entitled to the protections afforded by, among other sections, Section 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 362(b)(27), 362(o), 546(e), 546(g), 546(j), 548(d)(2), 555, 560 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Repurchase Notices. Counterparty shall, on any day on which Counterparty effects any repurchase of Shares, provide Dealer with a written notice of such repurchase (a “Repurchase Notice”) on such day if, following such repurchase, the Unit Equity Percentage as determined on such day is greater by 0.5% or more than the Unit Equity Percentage included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice (or, in the case of the first such Repurchase Notice, greater by 0.5% or more than the Unit Equity Percentage as of the date hereof). The “Unit Equity Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (i) the numerator of which is the sum of (A) the product of the number of Note Hedging Units and the Note Hedging Unit Entitlement and (B) the number of Shares underlying any other call option transaction between Dealer as seller and Counterparty as buyer, and (ii) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day. Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Dealer and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors, agents and controlling persons (each, a “Section 16 Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all losses (including losses relating to Dealer’s hedging activities as a consequence 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 expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), joint or several, to which a Section 16 Indemnified Person may become subject, 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 Section 16 Indemnified Persons for any reasonable legal or other 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 Section 16 Indemnified Person, such Section 16 Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Counterparty in writing, and Counterparty, upon request of the Section 16 Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Section 16 Indemnified Person to represent the Section 16 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 for any settlement of any proceeding 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 Section 16 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 Section 16 Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Section 16 Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Section 16 Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Section 16 Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding on terms reasonably satisfactory to such Section 16 Indemnified Person. If the indemnification provided for in this paragraph is unavailable to a Section 16 Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then Counterparty, in lieu of indemnifying such Section 16 Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Section 16 Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities. The remedies provided for in this paragraph are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any Section 16 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.

Alternative Calculations and Dealer Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events. If Dealer owes Counterparty any amount in connection with the Transaction pursuant to Sections 12.2, 12.3 (and “Consequences of Merger Events” above), 12.6, 12.7 or 12.9 of the Equity Definitions (except in the case of an Extraordinary Event that (x) is within Counterparty’s control or (y) as a result of which the Shares have changed into cash) or pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (except in the case of 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 or a Termination Event that resulted from an event or events outside Counterparty’s control) (a “Dealer Payment Obligation”), Counterparty shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to require Dealer to satisfy any such Dealer Payment Obligation by delivery of Termination Delivery Units (as defined below) by (A) giving irrevocable telephonic notice to Dealer, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day, between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. New York time on the Early Termination Date or other date the transaction is terminated, as applicable (“Notice of Dealer Termination Delivery”) and (B) remaking the representation set forth under “No Material Non-Public Information” below on the date of such notice; provided that if Counterparty does not validly so elect (or is not permitted to elect) to require Dealer to satisfy its Dealer Payment Obligation by delivery of Termination Delivery Units, Dealer shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to elect to satisfy its Dealer Payment Obligation by delivery of Termination Delivery Units. Within a commercially reasonable period of time following receipt of a Notice of Dealer Termination Delivery or delivery by Dealer of notice of its election to satisfy the Dealer Payment Obligation by delivery of Termination Delivery Units, Dealer shall deliver to Counterparty a number of Termination Delivery Units having a cash value equal to the amount of such Dealer Payment Obligation (as determined by the Calculation Agent in a commercially reasonable manner). If the provisions set forth in this paragraph are applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.11 (modified as described above) and 9.12 of the Equity Definitions shall be applicable, except that all references to “Shares” shall be read as references to “Termination Delivery Units”. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Equity Definitions, Dealer may, in whole or in part, deliver securities comprising Termination Delivery Units in certificated form to Counterparty in lieu of delivery through the Clearance System.

“Termination Delivery Unit” means 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 an Insolvency, Nationalization or Merger Event, a unit consisting of the number or amount of each type of 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 Insolvency, Nationalization or Merger Event, as determined by the Calculation Agent. If such Insolvency, Nationalization or Merger Event involves a choice of consideration to be received by holders, the Calculation Agent shall determine the composition of such consideration in its commercially reasonable discretion.

No Material Non-Public Information. Counterparty represents and warrants to Dealer that it is not aware of any material nonpublic information concerning itself, the Shares or option contracts related to the Shares.

Right to Extend. Dealer may postpone any potential Exercise Date or Settlement Date or postpone or extend any other date of valuation or delivery with respect to some or all of the relevant Note Hedging Units (in which event the Calculation Agent shall make appropriate adjustments to the Settlement Amount for such Note Hedging Units), if Dealer determines, in its reasonable discretion based on the advice of counsel (in the case of clause (a) or sub-clause (b)(ii) below) or in its commercially reasonable discretion (in the case of sub-clause (b)(i) below), that (a) a Regulatory Disruption has occurred or (b) such extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate to (i) preserve Dealer’s hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions (but only if there is a material decrease in liquidity relative to Dealer’s expectations on the Trade Date) or (ii) enable Dealer to effect purchases of Shares in connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if Dealer were the Issuer or an affiliated purchaser of the Issuer, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer. “Regulatory Disruption” shall mean any event that Dealer determines makes it appropriate with regard to any legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements or related policies and procedures (whether or not such requirements, policies or procedures are imposed by law or have been voluntarily adopted by Dealer), for Dealer to refrain from or decrease any market activity in connection with the Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the case of a postponement pursuant to sub-clause (b)(i) above, no such Exercise Date or Settlement Date or other date of valuation or delivery may be postponed or added more than 30 Scheduled Trading Days after the original Exercise Date or Settlement Date or other date of valuation or delivery, as the case may be.

Transfer or Assignment. Counterparty may not transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Transaction without the prior written consent of Dealer not to be unreasonably withheld. For the avoidance of doubt, Dealer may condition its consent on any of the following, without limitation: (i) the receipt by Dealer of opinions and documentation reasonably satisfactory to Dealer in connection with such transfer, (ii) such transfer being effected on terms reasonably satisfactory to Dealer with respect to any legal and regulatory requirements relevant to Dealer, (iii) the transferee being a United States person (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), (iv) that, in Dealer’s reasonable determination, Dealer will not be required, as a result of such transfer, to pay the transferee an amount under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement greater than the amount, if any, that Dealer would have been required to pay to Counterparty in the absence of such transfer, (v) that, in Dealer’s reasonable determination, no Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or Termination Event will occur as a result of such transfer and (vi) that Counterparty will continue to be obligated to provide notices hereunder relating to the Convertible Notes and will continue to be obligated under the provisions set forth under “Disposition of Hedge Shares” and “Repurchase Notices” herein. In addition, Dealer may not, without the consent of Counterparty (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), transfer or assign all or a portion of its Note Hedging Units hereunder except to any affiliate of Dealer (x) that has, at the time of such transfer or assignment, a rating for its long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness that is equal to or better than Dealer’s credit rating, or (y) whose obligation 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 Parent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall be a further condition to a transfer or assignment by Dealer without Counterparty’s consent that such transfer or assignment would not result in a deemed exchange by Counterparty of the transferred or assigned portion of the Transaction for a modified transaction that differs materially in kind or extent for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

If (a) at any time (1) the Section 16 Equity Percentage exceeds 8%, (2) the Unit Equity Percentage exceeds 14.5% or (3) Dealer, Dealer Group (as defined below) or any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Dealer or Dealer Group (Dealer, Dealer Group or any such person, a “Dealer Person”) under any federal, state or local (including non-U.S.) laws, rules, regulations or regulatory orders, or any 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, or could be reasonably viewed as meeting any of the foregoing, in excess of a number of Shares equal to (x) the number of Shares that would give rise to reporting, registration, filing or notification obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval by a state, federal or non-U.S. regulator) of a Dealer Person, or could result in an adverse effect on a Dealer Person (except for any filings of Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G under the Exchange Act or any other filing obligations applicable as of the date hereof), under Applicable Restrictions, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion, and with respect to which such requirements have not been met or the relevant approval has not been received minus (y) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding on the date of determination (either such condition described in clause (1), (2) or (3), an “Excess Ownership Position”), and (b) Dealer is unable, after commercially reasonable efforts, to effect a transfer or assignment on pricing and terms and within a time period reasonably acceptable to it of all or a portion of this Transaction pursuant to the preceding paragraph such that an Excess Ownership Position no longer exists (it being understood and agreed that, if an Excess Ownership Position exists, the condition to transfer or assignment set forth in the last sentence of the preceding paragraph shall not apply), Dealer may designate any Scheduled Trading Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion (the “Terminated Portion”) of this Transaction, such that an Excess Ownership Position no longer exists following such partial termination. In the event that Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of this Transaction, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (i) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to this Transaction and a Number of Note Hedging Units equal to the Terminated Portion, (ii) Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (iii) such Transaction shall be the only Terminated Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions set forth under the caption “Alternative Calculations and Dealer Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events” shall apply to any amount that is payable by Dealer to Counterparty pursuant to this sentence). The “Section 16 Equity 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 subject to aggregation with Dealer for purposes of the “beneficial ownership” test under Section 13 of the Exchange Act and all persons who may form a “group” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act) with Dealer (collectively, “Dealer Group”) “beneficially own” (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act) without duplication on such day (or to the extent that the equivalent calculation under Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder results in a higher number, such number) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day.

Designation by Dealer. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any shares or other securities to or from Counterparty, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such shares or other securities 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.

Role of Agent. Each party agrees and acknowledges that (i) J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, an affiliate of Dealer (“JPMS”), has acted solely as agent and not as principal with respect to the Transaction and (ii) JPMS has no obligation or liability, by way of guaranty, endorsement or otherwise, in any manner in respect of the Transaction (including, if applicable, in respect of the settlement thereof). Each party agrees it will look solely to the other party for performance of such other party’s obligations under the Transaction.

Severability; Illegality. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, if compliance by either party with any provision of the Transaction would be unenforceable or illegal, (a) the parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such unenforceability or illegality in a manner that preserves the economic benefits of the transactions contemplated hereby and (b) the other provisions of the Transaction shall not be invalidated, but shall remain in full force and effect.

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 THE OTHER 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.

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, Increased Cost of Hedging, an Excess Ownership Position, or Illegality (as defined in the Agreement)).

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 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 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 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 “Daily VWAP”; and (D) any market activities of Dealer and its affiliates with respect to Shares may affect the market price and volatility of Shares, as well as the “Daily VWAP”, each in a manner that may be adverse to Counterparty.

Early Unwind. In the event the sale of the “Additional Securities” (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement) is not consummated with the underwriters thereof for any reason, other than in cases involving breach of the Underwriting Agreement by Dealer or its affiliate, by the close of business in New York on May 23, 2012 (or such later date as agreed upon by the parties) (May 23, 2012 or such later date as agreed upon being the “Early Unwind Date”), the Transaction shall automatically terminate (the “Early Unwind”) on the Early Unwind Date and (a) the Transaction and all of the respective rights and obligations of Dealer and Counterparty under the Transaction shall be cancelled and terminated and (b) 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. Dealer and Counterparty represent and acknowledge to the other that, upon an Early Unwind, all obligations with respect to the Transaction shall be deemed fully and finally discharged.

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 or Termination Event within Counterparty’s control) and, as a result, Counterparty owes to Dealer an amount calculated under Section 6(e) of the Agreement, or (ii) Counterparty owes to Dealer any amount under “Consequences of Merger Events” above (other than as a result of a Merger Event that resulted from an event or events within Counterparty’s control), such amount shall be deemed to be zero.

Part 2(b) of the ISDA Schedule – Payee Representation. For the purpose of Section 3(f) of this Agreement, Counterparty makes the following representation to Dealer:

Counterparty is a corporation established under the laws of the State of Delaware and is a “United States person” (as that term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code).
