Expiration Date:
|
For any Component, as provided in Annex A to this Confirmation (or, if such date is not a Scheduled Valid Day, the next following Scheduled Valid
Day that is not already an Expiration Date for another Component); provided that if that date is a Disrupted Day, the Expiration Date for such Component shall be the first succeeding Scheduled
Valid Day that is not a Disrupted Day and is not or is not deemed to be an Expiration Date in respect of any other Component of the Transaction hereunder; and provided further that in no event
shall the Expiration Date be postponed to a date later than the Final Termination Date and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation or the Equity Definitions, the Relevant Price for such Expiration Date that occurs
on the Final Termination Date and is a Disrupted Day shall be the prevailing market value per Share as determined by the Calculation Agent in a good faith and commercially reasonable manner. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to
the contrary in the Equity Definitions, if a Market Disruption Event occurs on any Expiration Date, the Calculation Agent may determine in a good faith and commercially reasonable manner that such Expiration Date is a Disrupted Day only
in part, in which case the Calculation Agent shall make commercially reasonable adjustments to the Number of Options for the relevant Component for which such day shall be the Expiration Date, shall designate the Scheduled Valid Day
determined in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence as the Expiration Date for the remaining Options for such Component and shall determine in good faith and a commercially reasonable manner the Relevant Price based
on transactions in the Shares on such Disrupted Day taking into account the nature and duration of such Market Disruption Event on such day. Any Scheduled Valid Day on which, as of the date hereof, the Exchange is scheduled to close
prior to its normal close of trading shall be deemed not to be a Scheduled Valid Day; if a closure of the Exchange prior to its normal close of trading on any Scheduled Valid Day is scheduled following the date hereof, then such
Scheduled Valid Day shall be deemed to be a Disrupted Day in full. Section 6.6 of the Equity Definitions shall not apply to any Valuation Date occurring on an Expiration Date.

Expiration Date for such Component if at such time such Component is In-the-Money, unless Buyer notifies Seller (in writing) prior to the Expiration Time on such Expiration Date that it does not wish Automatic Exercise to occur with
respect to such Component, in which case Automatic Exercise will not apply with respect to such Component. “In-the-Money” means, in respect of any Component, that the Relevant Price on the

material non-public information regarding Counterparty or the Shares and (ii) such election is being made in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade compliance with the federal securities laws.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Counterparty acknowledges its responsibilities under applicable securities laws, and in particular
Sections 9 and 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and, if applicable, section 606 and Part 7.10 of the Corporations

|
Applicable Hedge Positions:
|

consider necessary to hedge through the Hedge Positions alone the equity price risk and dividend risk of entering into and performing its obligations with respect to the Transaction at that time. The parties acknowledge that this does
not restrict or otherwise affect the agreements and acknowledgments set forth in Section 13.2 of the Equity Definitions or any Hedge Positions or Hedging Activities which any Hedging Party may choose to purchase, sell, enter into,
maintain or undertake.
Dealer shall notify Counterparty promptly after it determines that a Hypothetical Dealer would have fully established its Applicable Hedge Positions
|
|
|
Physical Settlement Date:
|
Any date (a) on or after the date that Counterparty provides to Dealer evidence that: (i) a valid Counterparty Shareholder Purchase Approval has been
obtained and is in full force until Counterparty delivers a notice to Dealer that such Counterparty Shareholder Purchase Approval has lapsed; or (ii) the laws of the jurisdiction of Counterparty’s organization permit Counterparty’s
acquisition of Shares pursuant to the terms of this Transaction (including as a result of Counterparty being a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia) to the reasonable
satisfaction of Dealer based on advice of counsel, in each case, together with a written statement that the representations contained in Section 7(j) below are true and correct as of and as if made on such date, and (b) on or after the
date that Dealer has notified Counterparty in writing that it has determined that either: (1) a Hypothetical Dealer would have fully established its Applicable Hedge Positions which are sufficient to facilitate the Dealer delivering
Shares in accordance with the terms of this Confirmation (provided that this clause (1) shall be deemed to have been satisfied on each day occurring on or after December 3, 2026); or (2) a
Hypothetical Dealer would not require such Applicable Hedge Positions in order to facilitate such Share delivery.
|
|
Counterparty Shareholder Purchase
Approval:
|

Counterparty under this Confirmation in accordance with the terms of this Transaction pursuant to section 257D of the Corporations Act. Such resolution will be in full force on a day for the purposes of the Physical Settlement Date if
(1) the resolution was passed within the previous 12 month period ending on that day and (2) the resolution has not otherwise ceased to be in full force and effect (including through amendment or revocation) (“Annual Buy-back Mandate Renewal”).
|
|
|
Net Share Settlement:
|
With respect to any Component, if Net Share Settlement is applicable to the Options exercised or deemed exercised hereunder, Dealer will deliver to
Counterparty, on the relevant Settlement Date for each such Component, a number of Shares (the “Net Share Settlement Amount”) equal to (i) the Daily Option Value on the Expiration Date of such
Component divided by (ii) the Relevant Price on such Expiration Date.
Dealer will deliver cash in lieu of any fractional Shares to be delivered with respect to any Net Share Settlement Amount valued at the Relevant Price for
the Expiration Date of such Component.
|
|
|
Cash Settlement:
|
With respect to any Component, if Cash Settlement is applicable to the Options exercised or deemed exercised hereunder, in lieu of Section 8.1 of the
Equity Definitions, Dealer will pay to Counterparty, on the Settlement Date, an amount of cash (the “Cash Settlement Amount”) equal to the Daily Option Value on the Expiration Date of such
Component.

Daily Option Value:
|
For any Component, an amount equal to (i) the Number of Options in such Component, multiplied by (ii) the Option
Entitlement, multiplied by (iii) (A) the lesser of the Relevant Price on the Expiration Date of such Component and the Cap Price, minus (B) the Strike
Price on such Expiration Date; provided that if the calculation contained in clause (iii) above results in a negative number, the Daily Option Value for such Component shall be deemed to be
zero. In no event will the Daily Option Value be less than zero.
|
|
|
Valid Day:
|

(or its equivalent successor if such page is not available) (the “VWAP”) in respect of the period from the scheduled open of trading until the scheduled close of trading of the primary trading
session on such Valid Day (or if such volume-weighted average price is unavailable at such time or is, in the Calculation Agent’s commercially reasonable discretion, manifestly erroneous, the market value of one Share on such Valid Day,
as determined by the Calculation Agent in a good faith and commercially reasonable manner using, if practicable, a volume-weighted average method substantially similar to the method for determining the VWAP). The Relevant Price will be

less than the Strike Price)” and the words “whether within a commercially reasonable (as determined by the Calculation Agent) period of time prior to or after the Announcement Event” shall be inserted prior to the word “which” in the
seventh line, and (z) for the avoidance of doubt, the Calculation Agent shall, in good faith and a commercially reasonable manner, determine whether the relevant Announcement Event has had a material economic effect on the Transaction
and, if so, shall adjust the Cap Price accordingly to take into account such economic effect on one or more occasions on or after the date of the Announcement Event up to, and including, the related Expiration Date, any Early
Termination Date and/or any other date of cancellation, it being understood that (i) 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 and (ii) in making any adjustment the Calculation Agent shall solely take into account
changes in stock price, volatility, expected dividends, stock loan rate, and liquidity relevant to the Shares or to such Transaction. An Announcement Event shall be an “Extraordinary Event” for purposes of the Equity Definitions, to
which Article 12 of the Equity Definitions is applicable; provided further that upon the Calculation Agent making an adjustment, determined in a commercially reasonable manner, to the Cap Price
upon any Announcement Event, then the Calculation Agent shall make an adjustment to the Cap Price upon any announcement regarding the same event that gave rise to the original Announcement Event regarding the abandonment of any such
event to the extent necessary to reflect the economic effect of such subsequent announcement on the Transaction (provided that in no event shall the Cap Price be less than the Strike Price).
|
|
|
Announcement Event:
|
(i) The public announcement by Counterparty, any agent of Counterparty, any affiliate of Counterparty or a Valid Third Party Entity of any transaction or
event that, if completed, would constitute a Merger Event or Tender Offer, or the announcement by Counterparty of any intention to enter into a Merger Event or Tender Offer, (ii) the public announcement by Counterparty, any agent of
Counterparty, any affiliate of Counterparty or a Valid Third Party Entity of any potential acquisition or disposition by Counterparty and/or its subsidiaries where the consideration exceeds 35% of the market capitalization of
Counterparty as of the date of such announcement (a “Material Transaction”), (iii) the public announcement by Counterparty, any agent of Counterparty, any affiliate of Counterparty or a Valid
Third Party Entity of an intention by Counterparty or such Valid Third Party Entity to solicit or enter into, or to explore strategic alternatives or other similar undertaking that may include, a Merger Event, Tender Offer or Material
Transaction, or (iv) any subsequent public announcement by Counterparty, any agent of Counterparty, any affiliate of Counterparty or a Valid Third Party Entity of a change to a transaction or intention that is the subject of an
announcement of the type described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of this sentence (including, without limitation, a new announcement 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). 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,” “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).
|
|
Valid Third Party Entity:
|
In respect of any transaction or event, any third party that the Calculation Agent reasonably determines has a bona fide intent to enter into or consummate
such transaction or event (or an affiliate or agent of such a third party) (it being understood and agreed that in making such a determination, the Calculation Agent may take into consideration the effect of the relevant announcement by
such third party on the Shares and/or options relating to the Shares).
|
|
|
Notice of Merger Consideration and
Consequences:
|
Upon the occurrence 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), Counterparty shall reasonably promptly (but in any event prior to the relevant Merger Date) notify the Calculation Agent of (i) the type and amount of consideration that a holder of
Shares would have been entitled to in the case of reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales or transfers of assets or other transactions that cause Shares to be converted into the right to receive more than a single type of
consideration and (ii) the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration to be received by the holders of Shares that affirmatively make such an election.
|
|
|
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 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.

hedge the equity price risk of entering into and performing its obligations with respect to the Transaction, or (B) realize, recover or remit the proceeds of any such transaction(s) or asset(s), provided
that any such inability that (1) is incurred solely due to the deterioration of the creditworthiness of the Hedging Party, or (2) arises solely as a result of a failure of a system within the control of the Hedging Party, shall not be
deemed a Hedging Disruption, and, for the avoidance of doubt, (x) the term “equity price risk” shall be deemed to include, but shall not be limited to, stock price and volatility risk, and (y) the transactions or assets referred to in

determination or calculation (including any assumptions used in making such determination or calculation), it being understood that in no event will Determining Party be obligated to share with Counterparty any proprietary or

at any time up until immediately after termination of the Transaction, will not be engaged in market manipulation or in insider dealing under any applicable legislation in any
relevant jurisdiction (including, but not limited to, Australia and the U.S.),
|
|
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 in a commercially reasonable manner, equal to the Payment Obligation divided by the Share Termination Unit Price. The Calculation Agent shall, in a commercially reasonable manner, 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 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 a variety
of factors, including the market price of the Share Termination Delivery Units and/or the purchase price paid in connection with the commercially reasonable 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
|
|
Other Applicable Provisions:
|
If Share Termination Alternative is applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9 and 9.11 (as modified above) of the Equity Definitions and the provisions set forth opposite the
caption “Representation and Agreement” in Section 2 will be applicable, except that all references in such provisions to “Physically-settled” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Settled” and all references to “Shares”
shall be read as references to “Share Termination Delivery Units”. “Share Termination Settled” in relation to the Transaction means that the Share Termination Alternative is applicable to the Transaction.
