Valid Day, divided by (2) the Relevant Price on such Valid Day, divided by (B) the number of Valid Days in the Settlement Averaging Period; provided that if the calculation in sub-clause (A) (1) above results in zero or a negative number for any Valid Day, the Daily Combination Settlement Share Amount for such Valid Day shall be deemed to be
zero.

|
| Representation and Agreement: |
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Equity Definitions (including, but not limited to, Section 9.11 thereof), the parties acknowledge that (i) any Shares delivered to Counterparty shall be, upon delivery, subject to

|
| Potential Adjustment Events: |
Notwithstanding Section 11.2(e) of the Equity Definitions, 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 (or, if no Convertible Notes remain outstanding, would have resulted in an adjustment under the Indenture if the Convertible Notes were still outstanding) 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 sentence (including, without limitation, pursuant to [the
[fourth] sentence of the [first] paragraph of Section [14.04(c)] of the Indenture]21 or [the [fourth] sentence of Section [14.04(d)] of the Indenture]22).
|
| Method of Adjustment: |
Calculation Agent Adjustment, which means that, notwithstanding Section 11.2(c) of the Equity Definitions, upon any Potential Adjustment Event, the Calculation Agent, acting in good faith and commercially reasonably, taking into account
the relevant provisions of the Indenture, shall make a corresponding adjustment to any one or more of the Strike Price, Number of Options, Option Entitlement and any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment for the
Transaction.
|
| (i) |
if the Calculation Agent in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner disagrees with any adjustment to the Convertible Notes that involves an exercise of discretion by Counterparty or its board of directors (including, without
limitation, pursuant to Section [14.05]23 of the Indenture, Section [14.07]24 of the Indenture or any supplemental indenture entered into thereunder or in connection with any proportional adjustment or the determination
of the fair value of any securities, property, rights or other assets), then in each such case, the Calculation Agent will determine in good faith in a commercially reasonable manner consistent with the methodology set forth in the Indenture
the corresponding adjustment to be made to any one or more of the Strike Price, Number of Options, Option Entitlement and any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment for the Transaction in a commercially reasonable
manner, taking into account the relevant provisions of the Indenture; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Potential Adjustment Event occurs during the Settlement Averaging Period but
no adjustment was made to any Convertible Note under the Indenture because the relevant Holder (as such term is defined in the Indenture) was deemed to be a record owner of the underlying Shares on the related Conversion Date, then the
Calculation Agent shall make a commercially reasonable adjustment, as determined by it, to the terms hereof in order to account for such Potential Adjustment Event;
|
| (ii) |
in connection with any Potential Adjustment Event as a result of an event or condition set forth in Section [14.04(b)]25 of the Indenture or Section [14.04(c)]26 of the Indenture where, in either case, the period for
determining “Y” (as such term is used in Section [14.04(b)] of the Indenture) or “SP0” (as such term is used in Section [14.04(c)] of the Indenture), as the case may be, begins before Counterparty has publicly announced the event
or condition giving rise to such Potential Adjustment Event, then the Calculation Agent shall have the right to adjust, in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, taking into account the terms of the Indenture, any variable
relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment for the Transaction as appropriate to reflect the reasonable costs (including, but not limited to, hedging mismatches and market losses customary for transactions of this type) and expenses
incurred by Dealer in connection with its commercially reasonable hedging activities as a result of such event or condition not having been publicly announced prior to the beginning of such period; and
|
| (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, in good
faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, taking into account the terms of the Indenture, any variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment for the Transaction as appropriate to reflect the reasonable costs (including, but not
limited to, hedging mismatches and market losses customary for transactions of this type) and commercially reasonable expenses incurred by Dealer in connection with its commercially reasonable hedging activities as a result of such Potential
Adjustment Event Change.

|
| 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

|
| Tender Offers: |
Applicable; provided that notwithstanding Section 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)]30 of

Consequences of Merger Events/
Tender Offers: |
Notwithstanding Section 12.2 and Section 12.3 of the Equity Definitions, 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 (1) such adjustment shall be made without regard to any adjustment to
the Conversion Rate pursuant to any Excluded Provision and (2) in respect of any election by the holders of Shares with respect to the consideration due upon consummation of any Merger Event, the Calculation Agent shall have the right to
adjust any variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment for the Transaction as appropriate to compensate Dealer for any losses (including, without limitation, market losses customary for transactions similar to the Transaction
with counterparties similar to Counterparty) solely as a result of any mismatch on its Hedge Position, assuming Dealer maintains a commercially reasonable Hedge Position, and the type and amount of consideration actually paid or issued to
the holders of Shares in respect of such Merger Event; provided further that if (x) with respect to any Merger Event or any Tender Offer, (i) (A) 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 either (1) not a corporation nor an entity that is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (2) not organized under the laws of
Israel, the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia or (B) the Counterparty to the Transaction following such Merger Event or Tender Offer either will not be a corporation or an entity that is treated as a corporation
for U.S. federal income tax purposes or will not be organized under the laws of Israel, the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia and (ii) Dealer determines at any time following the occurrence of such Merger Event or
Tender Offer that (A) such Merger Event or Tender Offer has had or will have an adverse effect on Dealer under the Transaction or (B) Dealer will incur or has incurred an increased (as compared with circumstances existing on the Trade Date)
amount of tax, duty, expense or fee to (1) acquire, establish, re-establish, substitute, maintain, unwind or dispose of any transaction(s) or asset(s) it deems necessary or appropriate to hedge the economic risk of entering into and
performing its obligations with respect to the Transaction or (2) realize, recover or remit the proceeds of any such transaction(s) or asset(s) or (y) a Prohibited Foreign Transaction occurs, then, in the case of either clause (x) or clause
(y), Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination) may apply at Dealer’s commercially reasonable election; provided further that, for the avoidance of doubt, adjustments shall be made
pursuant to the provisions set forth above regardless of whether the Notes become convertible pursuant to Section [14.01(b)(iii)]31 of the Indenture as a result of such Merger Event or Tender Offer.
|
| Prohibited Foreign Transaction: |
A Merger Event pursuant to which Counterparty following consummation thereof is either (x) an entity other than a corporation or entity that is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (y) organized and existing
under the laws of a jurisdiction other than Israel, the United States, any State thereof, the District of Columbia, Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, Guernsey, Jersey, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Ireland
or the United Kingdom.
|
| Notice of Merger Consideration: |
Upon the occurrence of a Merger Event, Counterparty shall reasonably promptly (but in no event later than the date on which such Merger Event is consummated) notify the Calculation Agent of, in the case of a Merger Event that causes the
Shares to be converted into the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election), the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration actually received by
holders of Shares upon consummation of such Merger Event.
|
| Consequences of Announcement Events: |
Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment as set forth in Section 12.3(d) of the Equity Definitions; provided that, in respect of an Announcement Event, the definition of “Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment” set forth in Section 12.3 of the
Equity Definitions shall be modified in the following manner: (x) references to “Tender Offer” shall be replaced by references to “Announcement Event” and references to “Tender Offer Date” shall be replaced by references to “date of such
Announcement Event”, (y) the word “shall” in the second line shall be replaced with “shall, if the Calculation Agent determines that such Announcement Event has had a material economic effect on the Transaction”, 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 of such Section 12.3(d), and (z) for
the avoidance of doubt, the Calculation Agent shall determine whether the relevant Announcement Event has had a material economic effect on the Transaction (and, if so, 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 and the Calculation Agent shall make an adjustment to the Cap Price upon any announcement
regarding the abandonment of any such transaction that was previously the subject of an adjustment pursuant to this provision to the extent necessary to reflect the economic effect of such subsequent announcement on the Transaction, 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 with 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. Dealer acknowledges that an adjustment required to be made by the Calculation Agent in respect of an Announcement Event may result in an increase to the Cap
Price.
|
| Announcement Event: |
(i) The public announcement by Issuer, any subsidiary or affiliate of Issuer, or a Valid Third Party of (x) any transaction or event that is reasonably likely to be completed and, if completed, would constitute a Merger Event or Tender
Offer (as determined by the Calculation Agent; provided that in determining whether such transaction is reasonably likely to be completed, the Calculation Agent shall take into consideration the
effect of the relevant announcement on the Shares and/or options relating to the Shares and, if such effect is material, shall deem such transaction to be reasonably likely to be completed), (y) any potential acquisition or disposition by
Issuer and/or any of its subsidiaries where the aggregate consideration exceeds 35% of the market capitalization of Issuer as of the date of such announcement (a “Transformative Transaction”) or (z) the
intention to enter into a Merger Event or Tender Offer or a Transformative Transaction, (ii) the public announcement by Issuer, any of its affiliate and/or any of its subsidiaries of an intention to solicit or enter into, or to explore
strategic alternatives or other similar undertaking that may include, a Merger Event or Tender Offer or a Transformative Transaction or (iii) any subsequent public announcement by the relevant entity of a change to a transaction or intention
that is the subject of an announcement of the type described in clause (i) or (ii) of this sentence (including, without limitation, a new announcement, whether or not by the same party, relating to such a transaction or intention or the
announcement of a withdrawal from, or the abandonment or discontinuation of, such a transaction or intention), as determined by the Calculation Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, the occurrence of an Announcement Event with respect to any
transaction or intention shall not preclude the occurrence of a later Announcement Event with respect to such transaction or intention. 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 Section 12.1(d) of the Equity Definitions; provided that “10%” in the third line thereof shall be replaced with “20%”.

fide intent to enter into or consummate such transaction (it being understood and agreed that in determining whether such third party has such a bona fide intent, the Calculation Agent shall take into consideration the effect of the
relevant announcement by such third party on the Shares and/or options relating to the Shares).
|
| Nationalization, Insolvency or 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 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.
|
| Change in Law: |
Applicable; provided that Section 12.9(a)(ii) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by (i) replacing the phrase “the interpretation” in the third line thereof with the phrase “, or public
announcement of, the formal or informal interpretation”, (ii) replacing the word “Shares” where it appears in clause (X) thereof with the words “Hedge Position”, (iii) replacing the parenthetical beginning after the word “regulation” in the
second line thereof with the words “(including, for the avoidance of doubt and without limitation, (x) any tax law or (y) adoption, effectiveness or promulgation of new regulations authorized or mandated by existing statute)”, (iv) adding the
words “, or holding acquiring or disposing of any Hedge Positions relating to,” after the words “obligations under” in clause (Y) thereof and (v) adding the words “provided that in the case of clause

such party shall not be required to violate any applicable law, rule or regulation or, with respect to Dealer, any reasonably related policy of Dealer that is consistently applied to all of its similarly situated counterparties and/or
transactions in connection with avoiding such illegality or increased cost;” after the semi-colon in the last line thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Equity Definitions, upon the occurrence of the “Change in
Law” as set forth in clause (Y) of Section 12.9(a)(ii) of the Equity Definitions, the provisions applicable to an “Increased Cost of Hedging” as set forth in Section 12.9(b)(vi) of the Equity Definitions shall apply to such “Change in Law”

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 filed as an exhibit to Counterparty’s Annual Report on
Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, as updated by any subsequent filings, 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 (together with any
concurrent repurchase of Shares), except such as have been obtained or made and such as may be required under the Securities Act or state securities laws.
|
| (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).
|
| (f) |
Counterparty is not, on the date hereof, in possession of any material non-public information with respect to Counterparty or the Shares.
|
| (g) |
To Counterparty’s actual knowledge, no state or local (including any non-U.S. jurisdiction’s) law, rule, regulation or regulatory order applicable to the Shares would give rise to any reporting, consent, registration or other requirement
(including without limitation a requirement to obtain prior approval from any person or entity) as a result of Dealer or its affiliates owning or holding (however defined) Shares, in each case, other than U.S. federal securities laws
generally applicable to transactions relating to common equity securities of foreign private issuers listed on the Exchange; provided that Counterparty makes no representation or warranty regarding
any such requirement that is applicable generally to the ownership of equity securities by Dealer or any of its affiliates solely as a result of it or any of such affiliates being a financial institution or broker-dealer.
|
| (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; (B) will exercise independent judgment in
evaluating the recommendations of any broker-dealer or its associated persons, unless it has otherwise notified the broker-dealer in writing; and (C) has total assets of at least USD 50 million.]32
|
| (i) |
The assets of Counterparty do not constitute “plan assets” under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, the Department of Labor Regulations promulgated thereunder or similar law.
|
| (j) |
On and immediately after each of the Trade Date and the Premium Payment Date, (A) Counterparty is not “insolvent” (as such term is defined under Section 101(32) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code) (the “Bankruptcy Code”)) and (B) is not insolvent under Section 2 of the Israeli Insolvency and Economic Rehabilitation Law, 2018.
|
| (k) |
Neither the Counterparty nor its subsidiaries nor any of their properties or assets has any immunity from the jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment
in aid of execution or otherwise) under the laws of the State of Israel.
|
| (l) |
Any final judgment rendered by a state or federal court of the United States or of any of its territories or possessions or of the District of Columbia (collectively, the “Relevant Courts” and each,
a “Relevant Court”) having jurisdiction under its own domestic laws in respect of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Confirmation, the Agreement or the Transaction (“Related Proceedings”) against Counterparty would be conclusive in the State of Israel as to any matter thereby directly adjudicated upon between the same parties or between parties under whom they or any of
them claim litigation under the same title without review of the merits of the cause of action in respect of which the original judgment was given. Any final judgment for a fixed or readily calculable sum of money rendered by a Relevant Court
having jurisdiction under its own domestic laws in respect of any Related Proceeding against Counterparty would be declared enforceable against Counterparty without re-examination or review of the merits of the cause of action in respect of
which the original judgment was given or re-litigation of the matters adjudicated upon by the courts of the State of Israel, subject to the limitations described in the Offering Memorandum under “Enforceability of Civil Liabilities.”
|
| (m) |
The choice of the laws of the State of New York as the governing law as provided in Section 1 is a valid choice of law under the laws of the State of Israel and courts in the State of Israel, applying the laws of the State of Israel, would
give effect to the express choice of laws of the State of New York as provided in Section 1. Counterparty has the power to submit, and pursuant to Section 13(b)(i)(2) of the Agreement, has legally, validly, effectively and irrevocably
submitted, to the personal jurisdiction of each of the courts of the State of New York and the United States District Court located in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City (collectively, the “New York
Courts” and each, a “New York Court”) in any Related Proceedings and has validly and irrevocably waived any objection which it may have at any time to the laying of venue of any Related
Proceedings in any New York Court in accordance with Section 13(b)(i)(ii) of the Agreement; and Counterparty has the power to designate, appoint and empower, and pursuant to Section 1 of this Confirmation, has legally, validly and effectively
designated, appointed and empowered, an authorized Process Agent for service of process in any Related Proceedings, and service of process effected on such Process Agent will be effective to confer valid personal jurisdiction over
Counterparty.
|
| (a) |
Opinions. Counterparty shall deliver to Dealer opinions of New York and Israeli counsel, each dated as of the Premium Payment Date, with respect to the matters set forth in Sections 8(a)
through (c) of this Confirmation; provided that any such opinions of counsel may contain customary exceptions and qualifications. Delivery of such opinions to Dealer shall be a condition precedent
for the purpose of Section 2(a)(iii) of the Agreement with respect to each obligation of Dealer under Section 2(a)(i) of the Agreement.
|
| (b) |
Repurchase Notices. If at any time Counterparty ceases to qualify as a “foreign private issuer” as defined in Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act or the Shares otherwise become subject to
Section 16 of the Exchange Act, Counterparty shall, on or prior to the date one Scheduled Trading Day immediately following any date on which Counterparty has effected any repurchase of Shares, promptly give Dealer a written notice of such
repurchase (a “Repurchase Notice”) on such day if following such repurchase, the number of outstanding Shares as determined on such day is (i) less than [__]33 million (in the case of the
first such notice) or (ii) thereafter more than [__]34 million less than the number of Shares included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice; provided that, with respect to any
repurchase of Shares pursuant to a plan under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, Counterparty may elect to satisfy such requirement by promptly giving Dealer written notice of the entry into such plan, the maximum number of Shares that may
be repurchased thereunder and the approximate dates or periods during which such repurchases may occur (with such maximum deemed repurchased on the date of such notice for purposes of this Section 9(b)). Notwithstanding the foregoing or
anything to the contrary, Counterparty agrees that, if Counterparty ceases to qualify as a “foreign private issuer” as defined in Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act or the Shares otherwise become subject to the requirements of Section 16 of the
Exchange Act, Counterparty will (x) prior to the date that Counterparty ceases to qualify as a “foreign private issuer” as defined in Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act or the Shares otherwise become subject to the requirements of Section 16 of
the Exchange Act, give Dealer a written notice of such event and (y) to indemnify and hold harmless Dealer and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, advisors, agents and controlling persons (each, an
“Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all commercially reasonable losses (including losses relating to Dealer’s commercially reasonable hedging activities as a consequence of becoming, or of
the risk 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, in each case,
assuming that Dealer maintains a commercially reasonable hedge position), claims, damages, judgments, liabilities and reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), joint or several, which an Indemnified Person may become subject
to, in each case, 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 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 Indemnified Person as a result of Counterparty’s failure to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice in accordance with this
paragraph, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Counterparty in writing, and Counterparty, upon request of the Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the 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 contemplated
by this paragraph that is 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 Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability
by reason of such settlement or judgment. Counterparty shall not be liable to the extent that the Indemnified Person fails to notify Counterparty within a commercially reasonable period of time after any action is commenced against it in
respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder. In addition, Counterparty shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding contemplated by this
paragraph that is in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified
Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding on terms reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person. If the indemnification provided for in this paragraph is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or
insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then Counterparty hereunder, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities. The remedies provided for in this paragraph (b) are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any 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. Counterparty will not be liable under
this Section 9(b) to the extent any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense has resulted from an Indemnified Person’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
|
| (c) |
Regulation M. Counterparty is not on the Trade Date engaged in a distribution, as such term is used in Regulation M under 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 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.
|
| (i) |
Counterparty shall have the right to transfer or assign its rights and obligations hereunder with respect to all, but not less than all, of the Options hereunder (such Options, the “Transfer Options”);
provided that such transfer or assignment shall be subject to reasonable conditions that Dealer may impose, including but not limited, to the following conditions:
|
| (A) |
With respect to any Transfer Options, Counterparty shall not be released from its notice and indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 99(b) or any obligations under Section 9(l) or 9(q) of this Confirmation;
|
| (B) |
[Reserved];
|
| (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;
|
| (D) |
Under the applicable law effective on the date of such transfer and assignment, (1) Dealer will not, as a result of such transfer and assignment, be required to pay the transferee on any payment date an amount under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of
the Agreement greater than an amount that Dealer would have been required to pay to Counterparty in the absence of such transfer and assignment and (2) Dealer will not, as a result of such transfer and assignment, receive from the transferee
on any payment date an amount under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement that is less than the amount that Dealer would have received from Counterparty in the absence of such transfer and assignment;
|
| (E) |
An Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or Termination Event will not occur as a result of such transfer and assignment;
|
| (F) |
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 the 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 reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, incurred by Dealer in connection with such transfer or assignment.
|
| (ii) |
Dealer may, without Counterparty’s consent, transfer or assign all or any part of its rights or obligations under the Transaction (A) to any affiliate or branch of Dealer (1) that has a long-term issuer credit 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, or (B) to any other wholly-owned direct or indirect subsidiary of Dealer’s ultimate parent with a long-term issuer rating equal to or better than the greater of (1) the credit rating of Dealer at the
time of the transfer and (2) A- by Standard and Poor’s Rating Group, Inc. or its successor (“S&P”), or A3 by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. (“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, under the
applicable law effective on the date of such transfer or assignment, (i) 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 (2) Counterparty will not, as a result of such transfer or assignment, receive from the
transferee or assignee on any payment date an amount under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement that is less than the amount that Counterparty would have received from Dealer in the absence of such transfer or assignment and (ii) Dealer shall
cause the transferee to make such Payee Tax Representations and to provide such tax documentation as may be reasonably requested by Counterparty to permit Counterparty to determine that results described in clause (i) of this proviso will not
occur upon or after such transfer or assignment. If at any time at which (A) the Section 16 Percentage exceeds 9.5%, (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 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 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 9(j) 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 (except for any filings of Form 13F, Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G under the Exchange Act as in effect on the Trade Date) or other requirements (including (x) obtaining prior approval from any person or
entity or (y) becoming subject to any “interested shareholder” or similar restrictions in Counterparty’s articles of association) 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.
|
| (iii) |
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, or make or receive any payment in cash, to or from Counterparty,
Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities, or to make or receive such payment in cash, 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.
|
| (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:
|
| (i) |
in such notice, Dealer will specify to Counterparty the related Staggered Settlement Dates (the first of which will be on such Nominal Settlement Date and the last of which will be no later than the twentieth (20th) Exchange Business Day
following such Nominal Settlement Date) and the number of Shares that it will deliver on each Staggered Settlement Date;
|
| (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.
|
| (g) |
Additional Termination Events.
|
| (i) |
[Reserved].
|
| (ii) |
[Reserved].
|
| (iii) |
Within twenty (20) Scheduled Trading Days following any repurchase, redemption, exchange or conversion (a “Repayment Event”) of the Convertible Notes, Counterparty may notify Dealer in writing (any
such notice, a “Repayment Notice”) of (i) such Repayment Event, (ii) the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes so repurchased, redeemed, exchanged or converted, and (iii) the number of Options
to be terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9(g)(iii) as a result of such Repayment Event (which number of Options shall not be greater than the number of Options (for the avoidance of doubt, taking into account the Option
Entitlement) with an aggregate number of underlying Shares that corresponds to the aggregate number of Shares underlying the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes specified in clause (ii))[; provided
that any “Repayment Notice” delivered to Dealer pursuant to the Base Call Option Confirmation shall be deemed to be a Repayment Notice pursuant to this Confirmation and the terms of such Repayment Notice shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to this Confirmation]35. Such Repurchase Notice shall contain the representation and warranty that Counterparty is not, on the date thereof, in possession of any material non-public information
with respect to Counterparty or the Shares. Counterparty acknowledges its responsibilities under applicable securities laws and the Companies Law, and in particular Section 9 and Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder, in respect of any delivery of a Repayment Notice. The receipt by Dealer from Counterparty of any Repayment Notice shall constitute an Additional Termination Event as provided in this Section 9(g)(iii). Upon receipt of any such
Repayment Notice, Dealer shall promptly designate an Exchange Business Day following receipt of such Repayment Notice as an Early Termination Date with respect to the portion of the Transaction corresponding to a number of Options (the “Repayment Options”) equal to the lesser of (A) [(x)] the number of Options specified to be terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9(g)(iii) in the Repayment Notice[,minus (y) the number of “Repayment Options” (as defined in the Base Call Option Confirmation), if any, that relate to such Convertible Notes (and for the purposes of determining whether any Options under this Confirmation or
under the Base Call Option Confirmation will be among the Repayment Options hereunder or under, and as defined in, the Base Call Option Confirmation, the Convertible Notes specified in such Repayment Notice shall be allocated first to the
Base Call Option Confirmation until all Options thereunder are exercised or terminated)]36, and (B) the Number of Options as of the date Dealer designates such Early Termination Date and, as of such date, the Number of Options
shall be reduced by the number of Repayment Options. 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 the Transaction and a Number of Options equal to the number of Repayment Options, (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.

| (h) |
Amendments to Equity Definitions.
|
| (i) |
Section 11.2(e)(vii) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the words “that may have a diluting or concentrative effect on the theoretical value of the relevant Shares” and replacing them with the words “that is the result
of a corporate event involving the Issuer or its securities that is similar in nature to the events described in Sections 11.2(e)(i) through (vi) above and affects all holders of the Shares that the Calculation Agent has determined has a
material economic effect on the Shares or options on the Shares; provided that such event is not based on (a) an observable market, other than the market for the Issuer’s own stock or (b) an observable index, other than an index calculated
and measured solely by reference to Issuer’s own operations”.
|
| (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.
|
| (iv) |
Section 12.9(b)(vi) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by adding the following phrase at the end of subsection (C): “; provided that the Non-Hedging Party may elect to terminate the Transaction as of that second Scheduled Trading
Day only if the Non-Hedging Party represents and warrants, in writing, to the Hedging Party that the Non-Hedging Party is not, on that second Scheduled Trading Day, in possession of any material non-public information with respect to
Counterparty or the Shares”.
|
| (v) |
Section 12(a) of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the phrase “or e-mail” in the third line thereof.
|
| (i) |
No Netting or Set-off. The provisions of Section 2(c) of the Agreement shall not apply to the Transaction. Each party waives any and all rights it may have to set-off delivery or payment
obligations it owes to the other party under the Transaction against any delivery or payment obligations owed to it by the other party under any other agreement between parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise.
|
| (j) |
Alternative Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events. If (a) an Early Termination Date (whether as a result of an Event of Default or a Termination
Event) occurs or is designated with respect to the Transaction or (b) the Transaction is cancelled or terminated upon the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event (except as a result of (i) a Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event in which
the consideration to be paid to holders of Shares consists solely of cash, (ii) an Announcement Event, Merger Event or Tender Offer that is within Counterparty’s control, or (iii) 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 of the type described in Section 5(a)(iii), (v), (vi), (vii) or (viii) of the Agreement or a Termination Event of the type described in
Section 5(b) of the Agreement, in each case that resulted from an event or events outside Counterparty’s control), and if Dealer would owe any amount to Counterparty pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement or any Cancellation Amount
pursuant to Article 12 of the Equity Definitions (any such amount, a “Payment Obligation”), then Dealer shall satisfy the Payment Obligation in cash pursuant to the provisions of Section 12.7 or Section
12.9 of the Equity Definitions, or the provisions of Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, as the case may be; provided that, Dealer will satisfy the Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative (as defined below), if (a) Counterparty
gives irrevocable telephonic notice to Dealer, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of the Announcement Event, Merger Date, Tender Offer Date, Announcement Date (in
the case of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), Early Termination Date or date of cancellation, as applicable, of its election that the Share Termination Alternative shall apply and (b) Counterparty remakes the representation set
forth in Section 8(f) as of the date of such election. Counterparty acknowledges its responsibilities under applicable securities laws and the Companies Law, and in particular Section 9 and Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act (as defined
below) and the rules and regulations thereunder, in respect of any election that the Share Termination Alternative will apply. In addition to, and without limiting, the foregoing, Counterparty may not elect for the Share Termination
Alternative as set forth in this Section 9(j) to apply to any Options hereunder if any Share Termination Delivery Units delivered by Dealer upon termination or cancellation of such Options would constitute a “prohibited distribution” under
Section 310 of the Companies Law. If Counterparty elects for Share Termination Alternative as set forth in this Section 9(j) to apply to any Options hereunder, Counterparty will be deemed to have concurrently represented to Dealer that none
of the Share Termination Delivery Units delivered by Dealer upon settlement of such Options will constitute a “prohibited distribution” under Section 310 of the Companies Law.
|
| 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.
|
| Share Termination Unit Price: |
The value to Dealer 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.
|
| Failure to Deliver: |
Applicable
|
