In addition, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or Termination Event with respect to a party hereto as the Defaulting Party or the Affected Party (“X”), the other party hereto (“Y”) will have the right (but not be obliged) without prior notice to X or any other person to set-off or apply any obligation of X under an Equity Contract owed to Y (or any Affiliate of Y) (whether or not matured or contingent and whether or not arising under the Agreement, and regardless of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the obligation) against any obligation of Y (or any Affiliate of Y) under an Equity Contract owed to X (whether or not matured or contingent and whether or not arising under the Agreement, and regardless of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the obligation). Y will give notice to the other party of any set-off or application effected under this provision. “Equity Contract” shall mean for purposes of this provision any transaction relating to Shares between X and Y (or any Affiliate of Y) that qualifies as ‘equity’ under applicable accounting rules. Amounts (or the relevant portion of such amounts) subject to set-off may be converted by Y into USD at the rate of exchange at which such party would be able, acting in a reasonable
Risk ID: []/ Effort ID: [] / Global Deal ID: []

  manner and in good faith, to purchase the relevant amount of such currency, and any obligation to deliver any non-cash property shall be converted into an obligation to deliver cash in an amount equal to the value of such property as of the Early Termination Date, as determined by Y; provided that in the case of a set-off of any obligation to release or deliver assets against any right to receive fungible assets, such obligation and right shall be set off in kind. If any obligation is unascertained, Y may in good faith estimate that obligation and set-off in respect of the estimate, subject to the relevant party accounting to the other when the obligation is ascertained. Nothing in this provision shall be effective to create a charge or other security interest. This provision shall be without prejudice and in addition to any right of set-off, combination of accounts, lien or other right to which any party is at any time otherwise entitled (whether by operation of law, contract or otherwise).
 
   
          No Collateral
  Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement, or any other agreement between the parties, to the contrary, the obligations of Party B hereunder are not secured by any collateral.
 
   
          Rule 10b-18:
  Party A agrees to make all purchases of Shares during (i) the Initial Hedge Period and (ii) the Trading Period (other than purchases made by Party A as part of its dynamic adjustment of its hedge of the options embedded in the Transaction) in a manner that would comply with the limitations set forth in clauses (b)(1), (b)(2), (b)(4) and (c) of Rule10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Rule 10b-18”) and in clause (b)(3) solely with respect to the Transaction and not any trades executed by Party A that are not related to the Transaction, as if such rule was applicable to such purchases.
 
   
 
  Party B shall, at least one day prior to the first day of the Initial Hedge Period, notify Party A in writing of the total number of Shares purchased in Rule 10b-18 purchases of blocks pursuant to the once-a-week block exception set forth in clause (b)(4) of Rule 10b-18 by Party B or any of its affiliates during each of the four calendar weeks preceding such day and during the calendar week in which such day occurs (“Rule 10b- 18 purchase” and “blocks” each as defined in Rule 10b-18).
 
   
          Rule 10b5-1:
  It is the intent of the parties that the Transaction comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5- 1(c)(1)(i)(B) of the Exchange Act (“Rule 10b5-1”), and the parties agree that this Confirmation shall be

  interpreted to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c), and Party B shall take no action that results in the Transaction not so complying with such requirements. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, Party B acknowledges and agrees that (A) Party B does not have, and shall not attempt to exercise, any influence over how, when or whether Party A effects any purchases in connection with the Transaction, (B) during the Initial Hedge Period and the Trading Period, neither Party B nor its officers or employees shall, directly or indirectly, communicate any information regarding Party B or the Shares to any employee of Party A or its affiliates who is directly involved in hedging the Transaction and is listed in Schedule A hereto, as such list may be amended from time to time by Party A upon notice to Party B, (C) Party B is entering into the Transaction in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade compliance with federal securities laws including, without limitation, Rule 10b-5 and (D) Party B will not alter or deviate from this Confirmation or enter into or alter a corresponding hedging transaction with respect to the Shares. Party B also acknowledges and agrees that any amendment, modification or waiver of this Confirmation must be effected in accordance with the requirements for the amendment of a “plan” as defined in Rule 10b5-1(c). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any such amendment, modification or waiver shall be made in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade the prohibitions of Rule 10b-5 and no such amendment, modification or waiver shall be made at any time at which Party B or any officer or director of Party B is aware of any material non-public information regarding Party B or the Shares.
 
   
Certain Payments and Deliveries:

  occurs and Party B or Party A would be required to make a payment pursuant to Sections 12.8 and 12.9 of the Equity Definitions, then in lieu of such payment, Party B shall have the right to deliver to Party A, or Party B shall have the right to require Party A to deliver to Party B, as the case may be, at the time such payment would have been due and in the manner provided under “Physical Settlement” in the Equity Definitions, a number of Shares (or, in the case of a Merger Event, common equity securities of the surviving entity or other consideration received by holders of Shares pursuant to such Merger Event) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the amount that would have been so payable by (B) the fair market value per Share (or per unit of such common equity securities and/or such other consideration) of the Shares (or such common equity securities and/or other consideration) so delivered at the time of such delivery, as determined by the Calculation Agent in a commercially reasonable manner. For the avoidance of doubt, Party B shall have the right to issue unregistered Shares pursuant to this provision which shall be taken into account by the Calculation Agent in calculating the fair value of such unregistered Shares.

  The number of Shares that may be issued at settlement, or otherwise, by Party B pursuant to the Transaction will be limited to the total Shares authorized but not outstanding, reduced by the total amount of contingently issuable Shares. In any event, the number of Shares issuable by Party B at settlement shall not exceed 25,000,000 Shares.
