Hedge Period:
|
For each Transaction, the period commencing on, and including, the Hedge Period Commencement Date for such Transaction and ending on, and including, the Hedge
Period Completion Date for such Transaction, during which [Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC][Citigroup Global Markets Inc.], acting as “Forward Seller” (as defined in the Equity Distribution Agreement (as defined below)) for Dealer (the “Forward Seller”) establishes Dealer’s initial Hedge Positions for such Transaction; provided that
Dealer shall cause the Forward Seller to use its good faith and commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to establish Dealer’s initial Hedge Positions for such Transaction in accordance with the
terms set forth in the “Forward Placement Notice” (as defined in the Equity Distribution Agreement) delivered by Counterparty to Dealer and the Forward Seller in respect of such Transaction pursuant to the Equity Distribution Agreement and
the “Trading Parameters” in any “Parameters Request” (as such terms are defined in the Supplemental Confirmation for such Transaction) (provided that such good faith and commercially reasonable efforts shall be subject in all respects to
compliance with Dealer’s and its affiliates’ internal policies and procedures (whether or not such requirements, policies or procedures are imposed by law or have been voluntarily adopted by Dealer or such affiliates and which policies or
procedures are applied consistently in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner by Dealer to all of its similarly situated counterparties with similar transactions) and shall be required only to the extent fulfilling any
applicable Parameters Request would not have a material adverse impact on any other hedging activities undertaken by Dealer or its affiliates in connection with such Transaction or any other Transaction under this Master Confirmation
(including taking into account the relevant liquidity, market and trading conditions)); and provided further that the parties acknowledge and agree that the Forward
Seller will be establishing Dealer’s initial Hedge Positions pursuant to the Equity Distribution Agreement and subject to terms and conditions thereunder. Counterparty acknowledges and agrees that Dealer may cause the Forward Seller to
suspend establishing Dealer’s initial Hedge Positions in respect of any Transaction during the Hedge Period for such Transaction (a) in order to comply with the Trading Parameters for such Transaction, (b) while a Regulatory Disruption has
occurred and is continuing and (c) pursuant to any other applicable conditions set forth herein and/or the Equity Distribution Agreement. Dealer shall promptly notify Counterparty in writing upon the occurrence of a suspension described in
the previous sentence and inform Counterparty of the basis for such suspension (provided that Dealer shall not be obligated to disclose any proprietary or confidential information or any information subject to contractual, legal, regulatory
or self-regulatory requirements or related policies or procedures for Dealer or its agent or affiliate to not disclose such information) and, if Dealer determines that the Forward Seller may resume such market activity, Dealer shall
promptly notify Counterparty in writing upon such resumption. Dealer shall promptly notify Counterparty of the occurrence of the Hedge Period Completion Date for any Transaction and promptly (and in no event later than 7:00 p.m., New York
City time) on such Hedge Period Completion Date, Dealer shall deliver the Pricing Supplement for such Transaction to Counterparty.
|
| Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Master Confirmation or the Equity Definitions, for any Transaction, if (x) the prospectus contemplated in the Equity Distribution Agreement ceases to satisfy the requirements of the Equity Distribution Agreement (it being understood that availability of such prospectus as contemplated by the Equity Distribution Agreement has been assumed by Dealer for purposes of establishing its commercially reasonable initial Hedge Positions for such Transaction), (y) sales of Shares under the Equity Distribution Agreement are suspended or terminated pursuant to Section 3(b)(vi) or 3(k) of the Equity Distribution Agreement or (z) the Hedge Period Completion Date for such Transaction occurs, in each case, prior to completion by the Forward Seller of the establishment of Dealer’s commercially reasonable initial Hedge Positions with respect to the “Maximum Number of Shares” (as defined in the Equity Distribution Agreement) for such Transaction, then the Number of Transaction Shares for such Transaction shall be limited to the number of Shares sold by the Forward Seller during the Hedge Period for such Transaction in connection with establishing Dealer’s initial Hedge Positions in respect of such Transaction, and in such event, the Calculation Agent may make any other commercially reasonable adjustments to the terms of such Transaction as necessary to preserve the fair value of such Transaction. If the offering of the Shares relating to a Transaction is suspended prior to the completion by the Forward Seller of the establishment of Dealer’s initial Hedge Positions with respect to the “Maximum Number of Shares” (as defined in the Equity Distribution Agreement) for such Transaction, and the Calculation Agent determines that Dealer’s theoretical “delta” for such Transaction as of such day (assuming a commercially reasonable Hedge Position) exceeds the number of Shares sold by Dealer or its affiliates in connection with such Transaction prior to such day, the Calculation Agent may make commercially reasonable adjustments to the terms of such Transaction as necessary to neutralize the impact of such an event, based solely on the volume, historical trading patterns and price of the Shares and changes in volatility, stock loan rate, value of any commercially reasonable Hedge Positions in connection with such Transaction and liquidity relevant to the Shares or to such Transaction. In making any such adjustment, the Calculation Agent agrees to use its reasonable efforts to consult in good faith with Counterparty regarding such adjustment, it being understood that the Calculation Agent will not be required to take any action that it reasonably determines in good faith would violate or conflict with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer. | |
|
Hedge Period Commencement
Date:
|
For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation.
|
|
Hedge Period Completion Date:
|
For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Pricing Supplement, to be the earliest of (i) the Hedge Period Outside Date for such Transaction, (ii) the date as of which
Dealer has determined in a commercially reasonable manner that Hedge Positions in respect of such Transaction can no longer be established by the Forward Seller due to termination of the Equity Distribution Agreement, and (iii) the
Scheduled Trading Day on which the Forward Seller completes the establishment of Dealer’s commercially reasonable initial Hedge Position in respect of such Transaction pursuant to the Equity Distribution Agreement.
|
|
Hedge Period Outside Date:
|
For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation.
|
|

|
For each Component of each Transaction, as set forth in the related Pricing Supplement, to be equal to the volume weighted average price per Share at which the Forward Seller
executes or causes to be executed sales of Shares during the Relevant Hedging Day for such Component in connection with establishment of Dealer’s initial Hedge Positions in respect of such Component pursuant to, and in accordance with, the
Equity Distribution Agreement and this Master Confirmation.
|

|
For each Transaction, the aggregate Component Number of Shares for all Components of such Transaction, as set forth in the related Pricing Supplement.

market on the Relevant Hedging Day for such Component in connection with establishing Dealer’s initial Hedge Positions in respect of such Component.
|
|
Components:
|
Each Transaction will consist of a number of Components equal to the number of Exchange Business Days during the Hedge Period for such Transaction, each of which such
Components will correspond to a single Exchange Business Day during such Hedge Period (the “Relevant Hedging Day” for such Component), each with the terms set forth in
this Master Confirmation, the related Supplemental Confirmation and the related Pricing Supplement. The payments and deliveries to be made upon settlement of each Transaction will be determined separately for each Component of such
Transaction as if each such Component were a separate Transaction under the Agreement, except as provided herein.
|
|
Prepayment:
|
Applicable.
|
|
Counterparty’s Option to
Receive Component Prepayment
Amounts: |
With respect to any Unfunded Component of a Transaction, Counterparty may, upon no less than thirty-five (35) days’ and no more than forty-five (45) days’
prior written notice to Dealer by delivery of a request in the form of Annex C hereto (a “Prepayment Request”),
designate such Unfunded Component and a Currency Business Day (each, a “Component Prepayment Date”) during the Funding Period for such Transaction to receive from
Dealer an amount equal to the Component Prepayment Amount for such Unfunded Component on such Component Prepayment Date. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) Component Prepayment Amounts may only be requested, and paid, in whole and not in part
with respect to any Unfunded Component, (ii) any Prepayment Request may identify more than one Unfunded Component with respect to which a Component Prepayment Date is being designated, and may specify different Component Prepayment Date(s)
for any such Unfunded Components (it being understood that each such Component Prepayment Date shall be no less than thirty-five (35) days, and no more than forty-five (45) days, following the date the relevant Prepayment Request is
delivered), and (iii) Counterparty may not repay any Component Prepayment Amount. Dealer shall pay Counterparty the Component Prepayment Amount with respect to any Unfunded Component on the related Component Prepayment Date. For the
avoidance of doubt, if Counterparty fails to deliver a number of Shares equal to the Component Number of Shares in accordance with Paragraph 13(m)(iii) of the Credit Support Annex in respect of such Unfunded Component on the relevant
Component Prepayment Date, Dealer shall not make any such payment.
|
|

For each Transaction, the period from and including the Initial Prepayment Date with respect to such Transaction to but excluding the Final Prepayment Date with respect to such
Transaction.
|
|

time.

For any Component Prepayment Date of any Component of a Transaction, an amount of cash equal to (A) the Funded Value as of such Component Prepayment Date of the product of (a)
the Forward Floor Price for such Component and (b) the Component Number of Shares for such Component less (B) the product of (x) the Forward Hedge Selling Commission
Rate for such Transaction, (y) the Hedge Reference Price for such Component and (z) the Component Number of Shares for such Component.
|
|
Funded Value:
|
The Funded Value of any amount as of any Component Prepayment Date for a Component shall be the present value as of such Component Prepayment Date of a payment of such amount
on the date that is one Settlement Cycle following the Scheduled Valuation Date for such Component using a discount rate determined by the Calculation Agent acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner based on then-current
market inputs (which determination, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be subject to the second sentence of Paragraph 3 below); provided that such discount rate shall not exceed the Discount Rate
Cap.
|
| Discount Rate Cap: | For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation. |
|
Forward Hedge Selling
Commission Rate:
|
For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation.
|
|
Variable Obligation:
|
Not Applicable, subject to “Settlement Method Election” below.
|
|
Forward Floor Price:
|
For each Component of each Transaction, as set forth in the related Pricing Supplement, to be the product of (x) the Forward Floor Percentage for such Transaction and (y) the
Hedge Reference Price for such Component. The Forward Floor Prices for each Component of each Transaction shall be decreased by the Reduction Amounts for such Transaction set forth in the relevant Supplemental Confirmation under “Forward
Reduction Amounts” on the corresponding Reduction Dates set forth therein.
|
|
Forward Floor Percentage:
|
For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation.
|
|
Forward Cap Price:
|
For each Component of each Transaction, as set forth in the related Pricing Supplement, to be the product of (x) the Forward Cap Percentage for such Transaction and (y) the
Hedge Reference Price for such Component. The Forward Cap Prices for each Component of each Transaction shall be decreased by the Reduction Amounts for such Transaction set forth in the relevant Supplemental Confirmation under “Forward
Reduction Amounts” on the corresponding Reduction Dates set forth therein.
|
|
Forward Cap Percentage:
|
For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation.
|
|
Valuation Date:
|
For each Component of a Transaction, the Scheduled Valuation Date for such Component, subject to “Valuation Disruption” below.
|
|
Scheduled Valuation Date:
|
For each Component of a Transaction, as set forth in the related Pricing Supplement, to be the consecutive Scheduled Trading Days (as of the date of such Pricing Supplement)
for each such consecutive Component beginning from, and including, the First Scheduled Valuation Date for the first Component of such Transaction (or, if any such date as provided in such Pricing Supplement is not a Scheduled Trading Day,
the next following Scheduled Trading Day, in which case the Scheduled Valuation Date(s) for the subsequent Component(s) shall each be postponed to the respective succeeding Scheduled Trading Day).
|
|
First Scheduled Valuation Date:
|
For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation.
|
|
Valuation Disruption:
|
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Equity Definitions, to the extent that a Disrupted Day occurs on any Scheduled Valuation Date for any
Component, the Valuation Date for such Component shall be postponed to the first succeeding Scheduled Trading Day that is not a Disrupted Day and the Scheduled Valuation Dates for the then-remaining Components of the relevant Transaction
for which a Valuation Date has not occurred shall each be postponed to the consecutive succeeding Scheduled Trading Days thereafter; provided that in no event will a
Valuation Date occur on a date that is later than the Final Termination Date for the relevant Transaction and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Master Confirmation or the Equity Definitions, the VWAP Price or the 10b-18 VWAP
Price, as applicable, for any Valuation Date occurring on such Final Termination Date shall be the prevailing market value per Share determined in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner by the Calculation Agent. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if any such Disrupted Day is a Disrupted Day because of a Market Disruption Event (or a deemed Market Disruption Event as provided herein), the Calculation Agent shall determine whether:
(a) such Disrupted Day is a Disrupted Day in full, in which case the VWAP Price or the 10b-18 VWAP Price, as applicable, for such Disrupted Day shall not be
included for purposes of determining the Settlement Price for such Component, or
(b) such Disrupted Day is a Disrupted Day only in part, in which case (i) the VWAP Price or the 10b-18 VWAP Price, as applicable, for such Disrupted Day shall
be determined by the Calculation Agent based on transactions (or Rule 10b-18 Eligible Transactions in the case of the 10b-18 VWAP Price) in the Shares on such Disrupted Day taking into account the nature and duration of the relevant Market
Disruption Event, and (ii) such Component shall be divided into two Components by the Calculation Agent, one of which has a Valuation Date occurring on such partially Disrupted Day, and one of which has a Scheduled Valuation Date that is
postponed pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, it being understood that the sum of the Component Number of Shares for such two Components shall be equal to the Component Number of Shares of the divided Component and all other
terms of such two Components shall be otherwise identical to such divided Component, and such division shall be made by the Calculation Agent in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner based on, among other factors, the nature
and duration of any Market Disruption Event and the volume, historical trading patterns and price of the Shares.
Any Scheduled Trading Day on which the Exchange is scheduled to close prior to its normal close of trading shall be deemed to be a Disrupted Day in full.
The Calculation Agent shall provide notice to Counterparty of any Valuation Disruption on the Exchange Business Day promptly following such Valuation
Disruption.
If a Disrupted Day occurs on a Scheduled Valuation Date and each of the nine immediately following Scheduled Trading Days is a Disrupted Day (a “Disruption Event”), then the Calculation Agent, in its good faith and commercially reasonable discretion, may deem such Disruption Event (and each consecutive Disrupted Day
thereafter) to be an Additional Termination Event, with Counterparty as the sole Affected Party and the relevant Transaction as the sole Affected Transaction.
The definition of “Market Disruption Event” in Section 6.3(a) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the words (A) “at any time during the
one-hour period that ends at the relevant Valuation Time, Latest Exercise Time, Knock-in Valuation Time or Knock-out Valuation Time, as the case may be”, (B) inserting the words “at any time on any Scheduled Trading Day” after the word
“material,” in the third line thereof and (C) replacing the words “or (iii) an Early Closure.” therein with “(iii) an Early Closure, or (iv) a Regulatory Disruption.”.
Section 6.3(d) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the remainder of the provision following the term “Scheduled Closing Time” in the fourth
line thereof.
|
|
Final Termination Date:
|
For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation.
|
|

regular trading session) of the Exchange as displayed under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP” on Bloomberg page “PL <Equity> AQR” (or any successor thereto) at 4:15 P.M. New York City time (or 15 minutes following the end of any extension
of the regular trading session) on such Exchange Business Day or, if such volume-weighted average price is unavailable for any reason or is manifestly erroneous, the market value of one Share on such Exchange Business Day, as determined by
the Calculation Agent using, if practicable, a volume-weighted average method.
|
|
10b-18 VWAP Price:
|
For any Exchange Business Day, the per Share volume-weighted average price at which the Shares trade as reported in the composite transactions for United States exchanges and

have been voluntarily adopted by Dealer and which polices or procedures are applied consistently in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner by Dealer to all of its similarly situated counterparties with similar transactions) to
refrain from or decrease all or any part of the market activity in which it would otherwise engage in connection with such Transaction. Dealer shall promptly notify Counterparty in writing upon the occurrence of a Regulatory Disruption and
inform Counterparty of the basis for Dealer’s determination that a Regulatory Disruption has occurred (provided that Dealer shall not be obligated to disclose any proprietary or confidential information or any information subject to
contractual, legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements or related policies or procedures for Dealer or its agent or affiliate to not disclose such information) and, if Dealer determines that such Regulatory Disruption is no longer

Method of Adjustment:
|
Calculation Agent Adjustment. Section 11.2(e) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting clause (iii) thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, a Different Dividend (as defined below)
shall be a Potential Adjustment Event under Section 11.2(e)(vii) of the Equity Definitions with respect to any Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.2(e) of the Equity Definitions, the parties agree
that, for any Transaction, (A) Share repurchases through a dealer pursuant to accelerated share repurchases, forward contracts or similar transactions (including, without limitation, any discount to average VWAP prices) that are
entered into at prevailing market prices (subject to the immediately preceding parenthetical) and in accordance with customary market terms for Share repurchase transactions of such type (“Private
Repurchases”) shall not be considered Potential Adjustment Events so long as, after giving effect to such transactions, the aggregate number of Shares repurchased during the term of such Transaction pursuant to all such
transactions would not exceed 20% of the number of Shares outstanding as of the Trade Date for such Transaction, as determined by the Calculation Agent and as adjusted by the Calculation Agent in a commercially reasonable manner
to account for any subdivision or combination with respect to the Shares and (B) open market Share repurchases at prevailing market prices shall not be considered Potential Adjustment Events so long as, after giving effect to such
transactions and any Private Repurchases, the aggregate number of Shares repurchased during the term of such Transaction pursuant to all such transactions would not exceed 30% of the number of Shares outstanding as of the Trade
Date for such Transaction, as determined by the Calculation Agent and as adjusted by the Calculation Agent in a commercially reasonable manner to account for any subdivision or combination with respect to the Shares.
Notwithstanding Section 11.2(e) of the Equity Definitions, the following repurchases of Shares (if applicable) shall not be considered to be a Potential Adjustment Event:
(i) Shares withheld from employees of Counterparty or its Affiliates to pay certain withholding taxes upon the vesting of Share awards granted to such employees under
compensation or benefit plans of Counterparty;
(ii) Shares purchased in connection with the reinvestment of dividends by recipients of Share awards under Counterparty’s compensation or benefit plans;
(iii) Shares purchased in connection with the operation of Counterparty’s 401(k) plans or dividend reinvestment and direct stock purchase plans;
(iv) Shares purchased by Counterparty in connection with the issuance and/or delivery of Shares to employees, officers and directors under employee, officer and director
compensation programs (including Counterparty’s long-term incentive plan); and
(v) Shares received or purchased by Counterparty in connection with any call option or capped call hedge purchased by Counterparty in connection with Counterparty’s issuance of
convertible or exchangeable securities.
Notwithstanding Section 11.2(e) of the Equity Definitions, the following shall not be considered to be a Potential Adjustment Event:
(i) any issuance of Shares by Counterparty to employees, officers and directors of Counterparty, including pursuant to compensation programs (including Counterparty’s long-term
incentive plan);
(ii) any issuance of Shares pursuant to the operation of Counterparty’s dividend reinvestment and direct stock purchase plans;
(iii) any issuance of any convertible or exchangeable securities by Counterparty (including any stock purchase contracts or warrants sold in connection with any hedging
transaction related to any issuance of any convertible or exchangeable securities of Counterparty, but expressly excluding any issuance as described in Section 11.2(e)(i) or (ii) of the Equity Definitions), even if such securities
are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Shares;
(iv) the issuance of any Shares as a result of the conversion, exchange or exercise of any convertible or exchangeable securities outstanding as of the date hereof or issued by
Counterparty as described in clause (iii) above, as the case may be; and
(v) the issuance of any Shares upon the settlement of outstanding restricted stock unit, employee stock option or performance share awards.
|
|
Different Dividend:
|
If the Issuer declares or pays any dividend or distribution on the Shares, with an ex-dividend date after the Trade Date for any Transaction, that is (x) greater than, (y) later than or (z) in
addition to the Expected Dividends for such Transaction, such payment or declaration shall constitute a Potential Adjustment Event under Section 11.2(e)(vii) of the Equity Definitions and the Calculation Agent has the option to
make adjustments to such Transaction pursuant to Consequences of Different Dividends.
|
|
Expected Dividends:
|
For any Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation.
|
|
Consequences of Different
Dividends:

determines commercially reasonable and appropriate to account for the economic effect on such Transaction of such Different Dividend.

Announcement Event, (i) 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”, (ii) 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 “Forward Cap Price or Forward Floor Price of one or more Components (provided that in no event shall the Forward Cap
Price of any Component be less than the Forward Floor Price of such Component)” and the words “whether within a commercially reasonable (as determined in good faith 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 (iii) 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 Forward Cap Price or Forward Floor Price of one or more Components (provided that in no event shall the Forward Cap Price of any Component be less than the Forward Floor Price
of such Component) in a commercially reasonable manner to take into account the economic effect of the relevant Announcement Event on the Transaction, without duplication with respect to any other adjustment, to preserve the fair
value of the Transaction to the parties on one or more occasions on or after the date of such Announcement Event up to, and including, the final Valuation Date, it being understood that (x) any adjustment in respect of an
Announcement Event shall take into account any earlier adjustment relating to the same Announcement Event and (y) the Calculation Agent shall make an adjustment to the relevant Forward Cap Price(s) or Forward Floor Price(s) upon
any subsequent announcement regarding the abandonment of the same event that previously gave rise to an Announcement Event adjustment to the extent necessary to reflect the economic effect of such subsequent announcement on the
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. For the avoidance of doubt, any such adjustment shall be
without prejudice to and without duplication of the application of the provisions set forth in “Consequences of Merger Events” and/or “Consequences of Tender Offers” with respect to the related Merger Event or Tender Offer.
Dealer acknowledges that an adjustment required to be made by the Calculation Agent in respect of an Announcement Event (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the abandonment of an event that previously gave rise to an
Announcement Event adjustment) may result in an increase to the Forward Cap Price of one or more Components.

limitation, any capital stock or other ownership interests or other ownership interest in the Issuer’s subsidiaries) or other similar event by Issuer or any of its subsidiaries where the aggregate consideration exceeds 33% of the

announcement by such third party on the Shares and/or options relating to the Shares).

or Delisting:
|
Cancellation and Payment; provided that in addition to the provisions of Section 12.6(a)(iii) of the Equity Definitions, it shall also constitute a

Trading Parameters:

On any Exchange Business Day during the Hedge Period, Counterparty may request in writing by 9:00 AM New York City time (a “Parameters Request”)
that the Forward Seller establish Dealer’s initial Hedge Positions on such Exchange Business Day for the related Component taking into account Counterparty’s desired trading parameters submitted with the Parameters Request (the “Trading Parameters”) (including, without limitation, a minimum price (the “Limit Price”) and a maximum amount of proceeds from Dealer’s sales of Shares
(the “Maximum Proceeds”)). Counterparty and Dealer agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Equity Distribution Agreement:
|
|
1. Dealer shall cause the Forward Seller to use good faith and commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal
trading and sales practices to make sales in connection with establishment of Dealer’s initial Hedge Position in respect of such Component in accordance with the Trading Parameters; provided
that such good faith and commercially reasonable efforts shall be subject in all respects to compliance with Dealer’s and its affiliates’ internal policies and procedures (whether or not such requirements, policies or procedures
are imposed by law or have been voluntarily adopted by Dealer or such affiliates and which policies or procedures are applied consistently in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner by Dealer to all of its similarly
situated counterparties with similar transactions), and shall be required only to the extent fulfilling such Parameter Request would not have a material adverse impact on any other hedging activities undertaken by Dealer or its
affiliates in connection with this Transaction or any other Transaction under the Master Confirmation (including taking into account the relevant liquidity, market and trading conditions).
2. With respect to the Limit Price, Dealer shall cause the Forward Seller to use good faith and commercially reasonable efforts to not sell any “Forward
Hedge Shares” (as defined in the Equity Distribution Agreement) below the Limit Price.
3. With respect to the Maximum Proceeds, Dealer shall cause the Forward Seller to use good faith and commercially reasonable efforts to not sell any
“Forward Hedge Shares” (as defined in the Equity Distribution Agreement) to the extent such sales would result in sale proceeds greater than the Maximum Proceeds.
4. If no Parameters Request is received by Dealer by 9:00 A.M. New York City time, Dealer shall not establish any Hedge Positions on such Exchange Business
Day.
5. Each designation of any Component by Counterparty in a Parameters Request or any change in the Trading Parameters for such Component by Counterparty
shall be deemed to be an affirmation to Dealer (in its capacity as a “Forward Purchaser” under the Equity Distribution Agreement) and the Forward Seller that (x) the representation in Section 7(e)(i) of the Master Confirmation and
(y) the representations and warranties of Counterparty contained in or made pursuant to the Equity Distribution Agreement, in each case, are true and correct as of the date of such designation as though made at and as of such
date, and an undertaking that such representations and warranties will be true and correct as of the “Forward Hedge Settlement Date” (as defined in the Equity Distribution Agreement) relating to such as though made at and as of
such date (except that such representations and warranties shall be deemed to relate to the “Registration Statement” and the “Prospectus” (in each case, as defined in the Equity Distribution Agreement) as amended and supplemented
relating to such “Forward Hedge Shares”).
6. Other than as explicitly set forth above or in the provisions opposite the caption “Hedge Period” in the Master Confirmation, Dealer (or its agent or
affiliate) shall have the sole good faith and commercially reasonable discretion in conducting its hedging activities in connection with establishing its initial Hedge Position of the Transaction.

Price that might result from such Potential Adjustment Event or such Announcement Event when authorizing a corporate action leading to such Potential Adjustment Event or Announcement Event, as the case may be (as evidenced in
board resolutions that will have been provided to Dealer at the time of such announcement), such announcement may, at the good faith and commercially reasonable election of Dealer, constitute an Additional Termination Event with
Counterparty as the sole Affected Party and such Transaction as the sole Affected Transaction.
