Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 2, 2022, Bath & Body Works, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (“Bank”) under which the Company will purchase $1 billion of its own outstanding common stock, par value $0.50 per share (the “Common Stock”).

Under a Master Confirmation and Supplemental Confirmation, each dated February 2, 2022 (together, the “Agreement”), on February 4, 2022, Bank delivered to the Company 13,623,978 shares of Common Stock. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to be delivered under the Agreement will be based generally upon a discount to the Rule 10b-18 volume-weighted average price at which the shares of Common Stock trade during the regular trading sessions on the New York Stock Exchange during the term of the Agreement. At final settlement, Bank may be obligated to deliver additional shares of Common Stock to the Company or the Company may be obligated to make delivery of shares of Common Stock or a cash payment to Bank, at the Company’s option. The Company expects final settlement of the share repurchases under the Agreement to occur during the second quarter of 2022.

The Agreement is subject to certain customary adjustments and termination provisions. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain extraordinary events, Bank is entitled to terminate the Agreement, in which case the Company may receive fewer shares of Common Stock than expected.

The preceding description of the Agreement is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

Re: Master Confirmation—Uncollared Accelerated Share Repurchase

This master confirmation (this “Master Confirmation”), dated as of February 2, 2022, is intended to set forth certain terms and provisions of certain Transactions (each, a “Transaction”) entered into from time to time between JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (“Dealer”) and Bath & Body Works, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Counterparty”). This Master Confirmation, taken alone, is neither a commitment by either party to enter into any Transaction nor evidence of a Transaction. The additional terms of any particular Transaction shall be set forth in a Supplemental Confirmation in the form of Schedule A hereto (a “Supplemental Confirmation”), which shall reference this Master Confirmation and supplement, form a part of, and be subject to this Master Confirmation. This Master Confirmation and each Supplemental Confirmation together shall constitute a “Confirmation” as referred to in the Agreement specified below.

The definitions and provisions contained in the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “Equity Definitions”), as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc., are incorporated into this Master Confirmation. This Master Confirmation and each Supplemental Confirmation together evidence a complete binding agreement between Counterparty and Dealer as to the subject matter and terms of each Transaction to which this Master Confirmation and such Supplemental Confirmation relate and shall supersede all prior or contemporaneous written or oral communications with respect thereto.

This Master Confirmation and each Supplemental Confirmation supplement, form a part of, and are subject to an agreement in the form of the ISDA 2002 Master Agreement (the “Agreement”) as if Dealer and Counterparty had executed the Agreement on the date of this Master Confirmation (but without any Schedule except for (i) the election of New York law as the governing law (without reference to its choice of law provisions), (ii) the election that Multiple Transaction Payment Netting will apply to the Transactions and (iii) the election that the “Cross Default” provisions of Section 5(a)(vi) of the Agreement will apply to Dealer as if (w) the phrase “, or becoming capable at such time of being declared,” were deleted from Section 5(a)(vi)(1) of the Agreement, (x) the “Threshold Amount” with respect to Dealer were three percent (3%) of shareholders’ equity of Dealer as of the date hereof, (y) “Specified Indebtedness” had the meaning specified in Section 14 of the Agreement, except that such term shall not include obligations in respect of deposits received in the ordinary course of Dealer’s banking business and (z) the following language were added to the end of such Section 5(a)(vi): “Notwithstanding the foregoing, a default under subsection (2) hereof shall not constitute an Event of Default if (1) the default was caused solely by error or omission of an administrative or operational nature; (2) funds were available to enable the party to make the payment when due; and (3) the payment is made within two Local Business Days of such party’s receipt of written notice of its failure to pay.”).

The Transactions shall be the sole Transactions under the Agreement. If there exists any ISDA Master Agreement between Dealer and Counterparty or any confirmation or other agreement between Dealer and Counterparty pursuant to which an ISDA Master Agreement is deemed to exist between Dealer and Counterparty, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in such ISDA Master Agreement, such confirmation or agreement or any other agreement to which Dealer and Counterparty are parties, the Transactions shall not be considered Transactions under, or otherwise governed by, such existing or deemed ISDA Master Agreement, and the occurrence

of any Event of Default or Termination Event under the Agreement with respect to either party or any Transaction shall not, by itself, give rise to any right or obligation under any such other agreement or deemed agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other agreement between the parties or their Affiliates, the Transactions shall not be “Specified Transactions” (or similarly treated) under any other agreement between the parties or their Affiliates.

All provisions contained or incorporated by reference in the Agreement shall govern this Master Confirmation and each Supplemental Confirmation except as expressly modified herein or in the related Supplemental Confirmation.

If, in relation to any Transaction to which this Master Confirmation and a Supplemental Confirmation relate, there is any inconsistency between the Agreement, this Master Confirmation, such Supplemental Confirmation and the Equity Definitions, the following will prevail for purposes of such Transaction in the order of precedence indicated: (i) such Supplemental Confirmation; (ii) this Master Confirmation; (iii) the Equity Definitions; and (iv) the Agreement.

1. Each Transaction constitutes a Share Forward Transaction for the purposes of the Equity Definitions. Set forth below are the terms and conditions that, together with the terms and conditions set forth in the Supplemental Confirmation relating to any Transaction, shall govern such Transaction.

General Terms.

Trade Date:	For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation.

Buyer:	Counterparty

Seller:	Dealer

Shares:	The common stock of Counterparty, par value USD 0.50 per share (Exchange symbol “BBWI”).

Exchange:	The New York Stock Exchange

Related Exchange(s):	All Exchanges.

Prepayment/Variable Obligation:	Applicable

Prepayment Amount:	For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation.

Prepayment Date:	For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation.

Valuation.

VWAP Price:	For any Exchange Business Day, the Rule 10b-18 volume-weighted average price at which the Shares trade as reported in the composite transactions for United States exchanges and quotation systems, during the regular trading session for the Exchange on such Exchange Business Day, as published by Bloomberg at 4:15 p.m. (New York City time) (or 15 minutes following the end of any extension of the regular trading session) on Bloomberg Page “BBWI US <Equity> AQR SEC” (or any successor thereto), absent manifest error or unavailability of such page or a successor thereto, in which case the Calculation Agent shall determine the VWAP Price for such Exchange Business Day based on Rule 10b-18 Eligible Transactions in the Shares on such day. “Rule 10b-18 Eligible

	Transactions” means, for any Exchange Business Day, only those trades that are reported during the period of time during which Issuer could purchase its own shares under Rule 10b-18(b)(2) and are effected pursuant to the conditions of Rule 10b-18(b)(3), each under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Forward Price:	For each Transaction, the arithmetic average of the VWAP Prices for all of the Exchange Business Days in the Calculation Period for such Transaction, subject to “Valuation Disruption” below.

Forward Price Adjustment Amount:	For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation.

Calculation Period:	For each Transaction, the period from, and including, the Calculation Period Start Date for such Transaction to, and including, the Termination Date for such Transaction.

Calculation Period Start Date:	For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation.

Termination Date:	For each Transaction, the Scheduled Termination Date for such Transaction; provided that Dealer shall have the right to designate any Exchange Business Day on or after the First Acceleration Date to be the Termination Date for all or any part of such Transaction (an “Accelerated Termination Date”) by delivering notice (an “Acceleration Notice”) to Counterparty of any such designation prior to 6:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Exchange Business Day immediately following the designated Accelerated Termination Date; provided further that the portion of the Prepayment Amount for any Transaction that is subject to any acceleration in part shall be greater than or equal to 50% of the Prepayment Amount as of the Trade Date (or, if less, 100% of the portion of the Prepayment Amount not previously subject to acceleration). Dealer shall specify in each Acceleration Notice the portion of the Prepayment Amount that is subject to acceleration (which may be less than the full Prepayment Amount). If the portion of the Prepayment Amount that is subject to acceleration is less than the full Prepayment Amount, then the Calculation Agent shall make solely mechanical adjustments to the terms of the Transaction as appropriate in order to take into account the occurrence of such Accelerated Termination Date (including cumulative, solely mechanical adjustments to take into account all prior Accelerated Termination Dates).

Scheduled Termination Date:	For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation, subject to postponement as provided in “Valuation Disruption” below.

First Acceleration Date:	For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation.

Valuation Disruption:	The definition of “Market Disruption Event” in Section 6.3(a) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by

	deleting the words “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” and inserting the words “at any time on any Scheduled Trading Day during the Calculation Period or Settlement Valuation Period” after the word “material,” in the third line thereof.

	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.

	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Equity Definitions, if a Disrupted Day occurs (i) in the Calculation Period, the Calculation Agent may, in its good faith and commercially reasonable discretion, postpone the Scheduled Termination Date by one Scheduled Trading Day for each Disrupted Day, or (ii) in the Settlement Valuation Period, the Calculation Agent may, in its good faith and commercially reasonable discretion, extend the Settlement Valuation Period by one Scheduled Trading Day for each Disrupted Day. The Calculation Agent shall also determine whether (i) such Disrupted Day is a Disrupted Day in full, in which case the VWAP Price for such Disrupted Day shall not be included for purposes of determining the Forward Price or the Settlement Price, as the case may be, or (ii) such Disrupted Day is a Disrupted Day only in part, in which case the VWAP Price for such Disrupted Day shall be determined by the Calculation Agent based on Rule 10b-18 Eligible Transactions in the Shares on such Disrupted Day taking into account the nature and duration of the relevant Market Disruption Event, and the weighting of the VWAP Price for the relevant Exchange Business Days during the Calculation Period or the Settlement Valuation Period, as the case may be, shall be adjusted in a commercially reasonable manner by the Calculation Agent for purposes of determining the Forward Price or the Settlement Price, as the case may be, with such adjustments based on the duration of any Market Disruption Event and the volume and price of the Shares; provided that the Calculation Agent shall promptly, and in any event within one Scheduled Trading Day thereafter, provide Counterparty written notice of the occurrence of a Disrupted Day or a partially Disrupted Day and any adjustments to the terms of any Transaction hereunder as a result thereof. Any Exchange Business Day on which, as of the Trade Date for a Transaction, the Exchange is scheduled to close prior to its normal close of trading shall be deemed not to be an Exchange Business Day in respect of such Transaction; if a closure of the Exchange prior to its normal close of trading on any Exchange Business Day is scheduled following the Trade Date for a Transaction, then such Exchange Business Day shall be deemed to be a Disrupted Day in full in respect of such Transaction.

	If a Disrupted Day occurs during the Calculation Period for any Transaction or the Settlement Valuation Period for any Transaction, as the case may be, 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 ninth Scheduled Trading Day (and each consecutive Disrupted Day thereafter) to be an Exchange Business Day that is not a Disrupted Day, and determine the VWAP Price for such day using its good faith and commercially reasonable estimate of the value of the Shares on such day based solely on the volume and price of the Shares.

Settlement Terms.

Settlement Procedures:	For each Transaction:

(i)

if the Number of Shares to be Delivered for such Transaction is positive, Physical Settlement shall be applicable to such Transaction; provided that Dealer does not, and shall not, make the agreement or the representations set forth in Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions related to the restrictions imposed by applicable securities laws with respect to any Shares delivered by Dealer to Counterparty under any Transaction; or

(ii)

if the Number of Shares to be Delivered for such Transaction is negative, then the Counterparty Settlement Provisions in Annex A hereto shall apply to such Transaction.

Number of Shares to be Delivered:	For each Transaction, a number of Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number) equal to (a)(i) the Prepayment Amount for such Transaction, divided by (ii)(A) the Forward Price for such Transaction minus (B) the Forward Price Adjustment Amount for such Transaction, minus (b) the number of Initial Shares for such Transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Forward Price Adjustment Amount for any Transaction is a negative number, clause (a)(ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be equal to (A) the Forward Price for such Transaction, plus (B) the absolute value of the Forward Price Adjustment Amount.

Excess Dividend Amount:	For the avoidance of doubt, all references to the Excess Dividend Amount shall be deleted from Section 9.2(a)(iii) of the Equity Definitions.

Settlement Date:	For each Transaction, if the Number of Shares to be Delivered for all or such portion of such Transaction is positive (x) in the case of an Accelerated Termination Date, the date that is one Settlement Cycle immediately following the date on which Dealer delivers notice of such Accelerated Termination Date and (y) in the case of a Termination Date occurring on the Scheduled Termination Date, the date that is one Settlement Cycle immediately following the Termination Date, in either case, for all or such portion of such Transaction (the final Settlement Date, the “Final Settlement Date”).

Settlement Currency:	USD

Initial Share Delivery:	For each Transaction, Dealer shall deliver a number of Shares equal to the Initial Shares for such Transaction to Counterparty on the Initial Share Delivery Date for such Transaction in accordance with Section 9.4 of the Equity Definitions, with such Initial Share Delivery Date deemed to be a “Settlement Date” for purposes of such Section 9.4.

Initial Share Delivery Date:	For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation.

Initial Shares:	For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation.

Share Adjustments.

Potential Adjustment Event:	In addition to the events described in Section 11.2(e) of the Equity Definitions, it shall constitute an additional Potential Adjustment Event if (x) the Scheduled Termination Date for any Transaction is postponed pursuant to “Valuation Disruption” above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to Section 7 hereof) or (y) a Regulatory Disruption as described in Section 7 hereof occurs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Equity Definitions, (i) the declaration or payment of any Dividend shall not be a Potential Adjustment Event and (ii) a Permitted OMR Transaction (as defined below) shall not constitute a Potential Adjustment Event.

Excess Dividend:	For any calendar quarter, any dividend or distribution on the Shares with a record date occurring during such calendar quarter (other than any dividend or distribution of the type described in Section 11.2(e)(i), Section 11.2(e)(ii)(A) or Section 11.2(e)(ii)(B) of the Equity Definitions) (a “Dividend”) the amount or value of which per Share (as determined by the Calculation Agent), when aggregated with the amount or value (as determined by the Calculation Agent) of any and all previous Dividends with record dates occurring in the same calendar quarter, exceeds the Ordinary Dividend Amount.

Consequences of Excess Dividend:	The declaration by the Issuer of any Excess Dividend, the record date for which occurs or is scheduled to occur during the Relevant Dividend Period for any Transaction, shall constitute an Additional Termination Event, for which Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party and such Transaction(s) shall be the sole Affected Transaction(s). For the avoidance of doubt, the Close-Out Amount calculated in respect of an Additional Termination Event as a result of the declaration of an Excess Dividend as described in the immediately preceding sentence shall not account for the amount of such Excess Dividend.

Ordinary Dividend Amount:	For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation.

Method of Adjustment:	Calculation Agent Adjustment

Early Ordinary Dividend Payment:	For each Transaction, if a record date for any Dividend that is not (x) an Excess Dividend or (y) a dividend or distribution of the type described in Section 11.2(e)(i), Section 11.2(e)(ii)(A) or Section 11.2(e)(ii)(B) of the Equity Definitions, occurs during any calendar quarter occurring (in whole or in part) during the Relevant Dividend Period for such Transaction and is prior to the Scheduled Record Date for such Transaction for the relevant calendar quarter (as determined by the Calculation Agent), the Calculation Agent shall make such adjustment to the exercise, settlement, payment or any other terms of the relevant Transaction as the Calculation Agent determines appropriate to preserve the fair value of such Transaction after taking into account such Dividend. For the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment described in the immediately preceding sentence shall account solely for the economic effect on the Transaction of the timing of such Dividend, and shall not account for the amount of such Dividend.

Scheduled Record Dates:	For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation for each calendar quarter.

Relevant Dividend Period:	For each Transaction, the period from, and including, the Initial Share Delivery Date for such Transaction to, but excluding, the Relevant Dividend Period End Date for such Transaction.

Relevant Dividend Period End Date:	For each Transaction, if the Number of Shares to be Delivered for such Transaction is negative, the date one Settlement Cycle immediately following the last day of the Settlement Valuation Period; otherwise, the Settlement Date.

Additional Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Each Party. In addition to the representations, warranties and covenants in the Agreement, each party represents, warrants and covenants to the other party that:

It is an “eligible contract participant” (as such term is defined in the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended).

(ii)

The offer and sale of each Transaction to it is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) thereof. Accordingly, each party represents and warrants to the other that (A) it has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of its investment in each Transaction and is able to bear a total loss of its investment, (B) it is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined under Regulation D under the Securities Act and (C) the disposition of each Transaction is restricted under this Master Confirmation, the Securities Act and state securities laws.

(b)

Additional Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Counterparty. In addition to the representations, warranties and covenants in the Agreement, Counterparty represents, warrants and covenants to Dealer that:

(i)

As of the Trade Date for each Transaction hereunder, (A) such Transaction is being entered into pursuant to a publicly disclosed Share buy-back program and its Board of Directors has approved the use of accelerated share repurchase transactions to effect the Share buy-back program, and (B) there is no internal policy of Counterparty, whether written or oral, that would prohibit Counterparty from entering into any aspect of such Transaction, including, without limitation, the purchases of Shares to be made pursuant to such Transaction.

(ii)

As of the Trade Date for each Transaction hereunder, Counterparty is not engaged in any “issuer tender offer” within the meaning of Rule 13e-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Counterparty is not aware of any “third-party tender offer” with respect to the Shares within the meaning of Rule 13e-1 under the Exchange Act.

(iii)

As of the Trade Date for each Transaction hereunder, it is not entering into such Transaction (A) on the basis of, and is not aware of, any material non-public information regarding Counterparty or the Shares, (B) in anticipation of, in connection with, or to facilitate, a distribution of its securities, a self tender offer or a third-party tender offer, in each case, in violation of the Exchange Act or (C) to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares).

(iv)

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 50,000,000 as of the date hereof.

(v)

As of the Trade Date for each Transaction hereunder, and as of the date of any election with respect to any Transaction hereunder, Counterparty is in compliance with its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act, and its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, together with all reports subsequently filed by it pursuant to the Exchange Act, taken together and as amended and supplemented to the date of this representation, do not, as of their respective filing dates, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(vi)

(A) The Shares are not, as of the Calculation Period Start Date, and (B) Counterparty will not, at any time during any Regulation M Period (as defined below) for any Transaction, cause the Shares to be, subject to a “restricted period” (as defined in Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act) unless, in the case of clause (B), Counterparty has provided written notice to Dealer of such restricted period not later than the Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the first day of such “restricted period”; Counterparty acknowledges that any such notice may cause a Disrupted Day to occur pursuant to Section ‎7 hereof; accordingly, Counterparty acknowledges that its delivery of such notice must comply with the standards set forth in Section ‎8 hereof. Counterparty is not currently contemplating any “distribution” (as defined in Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act) of Shares, or any security for which Shares are a “reference security” (as defined in Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act). “Regulation M Period” means, for any Transaction, (A) the Relevant Period (as defined below) for such Transaction, (B) the Settlement Valuation Period, if any, for such Transaction and (C) the Seller Termination Purchase Period (as defined below), if any, for such Transaction. “Relevant Period” means, for any Transaction, the period commencing on the Calculation Period Start Date for such Transaction and ending on the later of (1) the earlier of (x) the Scheduled Termination Date and (y) the last Additional Relevant Day (as specified in the related Supplemental Confirmation) for such Transaction, or such earlier day as elected by Dealer and communicated to Counterparty on such day and (2) if Section ‎15 hereof is applicable to such Transaction, the date on which all deliveries owed pursuant to such Section ‎15 have been made.

(vii)

As of the Trade Date and the Prepayment Date for each Transaction, Counterparty is not, and will not be, “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 Counterparty would be able to purchase a number of Shares with a value equal to the Prepayment Amount in compliance with the laws of the jurisdiction of Counterparty’s incorporation.

(viii)

Counterparty is not, and after giving effect to each Transaction will not be, required to register as an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(ix)

Counterparty has not entered, and will not enter, into any repurchase transaction with respect to the Shares (including, without limitation, any agreements similar to the Transactions described herein, but excluding any Permitted OMR Transaction) where any initial hedge period, calculation period, relevant period, settlement valuation period or seller termination purchase period (each however defined) in such other transaction will overlap at any time (including, without limitation, as a result of extensions in such initial hedge period, calculation period, relevant period, settlement valuation period or seller termination purchase period as provided in the relevant agreements) with any Relevant

Period, any Settlement Valuation Period (if applicable) or any Seller Termination Purchase Period (if applicable) under this Master Confirmation. In the event that the initial hedge period, relevant period, calculation period or settlement valuation period in any other transaction overlaps with any Relevant Period, any Settlement Valuation Period (if applicable) or any Seller Termination Purchase Period (if applicable) under this Master Confirmation as a result of any postponement of the Scheduled Termination Date or extension of the Settlement Valuation Period pursuant to “Valuation Disruption” above or any analogous provision in such other transaction, Counterparty shall promptly amend such other transaction to avoid any such overlap.

(c)

Additional Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Dealer. In addition to the representations, warranties and covenants in the Agreement, Dealer represents, warrants and covenants to Counterparty that:

(i)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (including, without limitation Section 8 or Section 12(b)), on or after the Trade Date and in contemplation of the delivery of Shares on the Initial Share Delivery Date, Dealer (or any affiliate thereof) will borrow, from third-party stock lenders that (x) are not affiliated with Dealer and (y) lend Shares in the ordinary course, a number of Shares at least equal to the number of Shares delivered by Dealer to Counterparty on the Initial Share Delivery Date.

(ii)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (including, without limitation Section 8 or Section 12(b)), on or after the Trade Date and in contemplation of (x) closing out open short positions established in connection with the Initial Share Delivery and (y) the delivery of Shares on the Settlement Date, Dealer (or any affiliate thereof) will acquire, in Specified Acquisitions, a number of Shares at least equal to the sum of (1) the number of Shares used by Dealer (or its affiliates) to close out open short positions established in connection with the Initial Share Delivery and (2) the number of Shares delivered by Dealer to Counterparty on the Settlement Date. For purposes of this clause (ii), a “Specified Acquisition” is an acquisition (A) by purchase in open market transactions (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any transactions executed on an exchange, off exchange, on electronic trading platforms and on other alternative trading systems, it being understood that Dealer (and its affiliates) shall not know the identity of the seller in any of such transactions), (B) by borrowing from third-party stock lenders that (1) are not affiliated with Dealer and (2) lend Shares in the ordinary course, so long as any open short positions with respect to such loans are closed out in the manner consistent with clauses (A) and (C) of this definition, or (C) in settlement of any listed option transaction entered on or after the Trade Date.

(iii)

Dealer will maintain a separate account in its books and records reflecting the activity described in the preceding clauses (i)-(ii) with respect to the Transaction.

Regulatory Disruption. In the event that the Dealer concludes, in its good faith and reasonable discretion, based on the advice of counsel, that it is advisable with respect to any legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements or related policies and procedures (in the case of any policies or procedures, whether or not such policies and procedures are imposed by law or voluntarily adopted, so long as such policies or procedures are related to legal, regulatory or self-regulatory issues and are generally applicable in similar situations and applied to any Transaction hereunder in a non-discriminatory manner), for Dealer to refrain from or decrease any market activity in which Dealer would otherwise engage in order to establish or maintain a commercially reasonable Hedge Position in connection with a Transaction on any Scheduled Trading Day or Days during the Calculation Period or, if applicable, the Settlement Valuation Period, Dealer may by written notice to Counterparty elect to deem that a Market Disruption Event has occurred and will be continuing on such Scheduled Trading Day or Days, subject to the other provisions under “Valuation Disruption” under Section 1 above. The provisions of the second paragraph opposite the caption “Calculation Agent” in Section 2 shall apply to Dealer’s determination to make the election contemplated hereby as if such determination had been made by the Calculation Agent.

10b5-1 Plan. Counterparty represents, warrants and covenants to Dealer that:

(a)

Counterparty is entering into this Master Confirmation and each Transaction hereunder in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade the prohibitions of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act (“Rule 10b5-1”) or any other antifraud or anti-manipulation provisions of the federal or applicable state securities laws and that it has not entered into or altered and will not enter into or alter any “corresponding or hedging transaction or position” (within the meaning of Rule 10b5-1) with respect to the Shares. Counterparty acknowledges that it is the intent of the parties that each Transaction entered into under this Master Confirmation comply with the requirements of paragraphs (c)(1)(i)(A) and (B) of Rule 10b5-1, and each Transaction entered into under this Master Confirmation shall be interpreted to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c).

(b)

During the Calculation Period and the Settlement Valuation Period, if any, for any Transaction and in connection with the delivery of any Alternative Delivery Units for any Transaction, Dealer (or its agent or Affiliate) may effect transactions in Shares in connection with such Transaction. The timing of such transactions by Dealer, the price paid or received per Share pursuant to such transactions and the manner in which such transactions are made, including, without limitation, whether such transactions are made on any securities exchange or privately, shall be within the sole judgment of Dealer. Counterparty acknowledges and agrees that all such transactions shall be made in Dealer’s sole judgment and for Dealer’s own account.

(c)

Counterparty does not have, and shall not attempt to exercise, any control or influence over how, when or whether Dealer (or its agent or Affiliate) makes any “purchases or sales” (within the meaning of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i)(B)(3)) in connection with any Transaction, including, without limitation, over how, when or whether Dealer (or its agent or Affiliate) enters into any hedging transactions. Counterparty represents and warrants that it has consulted with its own advisors as to the legal aspects of its adoption and implementation of this Master Confirmation and each Supplemental Confirmation under Rule 10b5-1.

(d)

Counterparty acknowledges and agrees that any amendment, modification, waiver or termination of this Master Confirmation or any Supplemental Confirmation must be effected in accordance with the requirements for the amendment or termination of a “plan” as defined in Rule 10b5-1(c). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any such amendment, modification, waiver or termination shall be made in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade the prohibitions of Rule 10b-5, and no such amendment, modification or waiver shall be made at any time at which Counterparty is aware of any material non-public information regarding Counterparty or the Shares.

(e)

Counterparty shall not, directly or indirectly, communicate any material non-public information relating to Counterparty or the Shares (including, without limitation, any notices required by Section ‎10(a)) to any employee of Dealer, other than “private side” individuals at Dealer’s debt capital markets, corporate banking, derivatives, foreign exchange and treasury services group, including Mr. David Aidelson, Mr. Brett Chalmers, Mr. Elliot Chalom, Ms. Yana Chernobilsky, Mr. Ganaraj S. Hegde and Mr. Noah L. Wynkoop, or any other people communicated by Dealer to Counterparty.

Counterparty Purchases. Counterparty (or any “affiliated purchaser” as defined in Rule 10b-18) shall not, without the prior written consent of Dealer, directly or indirectly (including, without limitation, by means of a derivative instrument) purchase, offer to purchase, place any bid or limit order that would effect a purchase of, or commence any tender offer relating to, any Shares (or equivalent interest, including, without limitation, a unit of beneficial interest in a trust or limited partnership or a depository share) (including, without limitation, any Rule 10b-18 purchases of blocks (as defined in Rule 10b-18)) during any Relevant Period, any Settlement Valuation Period (if applicable) or any Seller Termination Purchase Period (if applicable), under this Master Confirmation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall (i) limit Counterparty’s ability, pursuant to its employee incentive plans, to re-acquire Shares in connection with the related equity transactions, (ii) limit Counterparty’s ability to withhold shares to cover tax liabilities associated with such equity transactions or (iii) limit Counterparty’s ability to grant stock, restricted stock units and options to “affiliated purchasers” (as defined in Rule 10b-18) or the ability of such affiliated purchasers to acquire such stock, restricted stock units or options, in connection with Counterparty’s compensation policies for directors,

officers and employees. Further, (i) Counterparty or an “affiliated purchaser” (as defined in Rule 10b-18) may purchase Shares during the Calculation Period or any Settlement Valuation Period through Dealer or an affiliate of Dealer pursuant to any Rule 10b5-1 repurchase plan or Rule 10b-18 repurchase plan (each, a “Permitted OMR Transaction”), so long as such purchases do not in the aggregate exceed, on any Exchange Business Day, the Specified ADTV Percentage for such Transaction for such Exchange Business Day (as specified in the relevant Supplemental Confirmation) (provided that Counterparty and Dealer or an affiliate of Dealer may agree in writing to effect such purchases in excess of the Specified ADTV Percentage on any Exchange Business Day and, for the avoidance of doubt, neither Dealer nor any affiliate of Dealer shall be obligated to enter into any such repurchase plan and may consider any factors it deems to be relevant in making its decision), (ii) an agent independent of Counterparty may purchase Shares effected by or for an issuer plan of Issuer in accordance with the requirements of Section 10b-18(a)(13)(ii) under the Exchange Act (with “issuer plan” and “agent independent of the Counterparty” each being used herein as defined in Rule 10b-18) and (iii) Counterparty or any “affiliated purchaser” (as defined in Rule 10b-18) may purchase Shares in (x) unsolicited transactions or (y) privately negotiated (off-market) transactions, in each case, that are not “Rule 10b-18 purchases” (as defined in Rule 10b-18) and are not expected to result in market purchases, in each case, without Dealer’s consent.

10.

Special Provisions for Merger Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Equity Definitions:

(a)

Counterparty agrees that it:

(i)

will not during the period commencing on the Trade Date for any Transaction and ending on the last day of the Relevant Period or, if applicable, the later of the last day of the Settlement Valuation Period and the last day of the Seller Termination Purchase Period, for such Transaction make, or permit to be made (to the extent within Counterparty’s control), any public announcement (as defined in Rule 165(f) under the Securities Act) of any Merger Transaction or potential Merger Transaction (a “Merger Announcement”) unless such Merger Announcement is made prior to the opening or after the close of the regular trading session on the Exchange for the Shares;

(ii)

shall promptly (but in any event prior to the next opening of the regular trading session on the Exchange) notify Dealer following any such Merger Announcement that such Merger Announcement has been made; and

(iii)

shall promptly (but in any event prior to the next opening of the regular trading session on the Exchange) provide Dealer with written notice specifying (i) Counterparty’s average daily Rule 10b-18 Purchases (as defined in Rule 10b-18) during the three full calendar months immediately preceding the announcement date of any Merger Transaction or potential Merger Transaction that were not effected through Dealer or its Affiliates and (ii) the number of Shares purchased pursuant to the proviso in Rule 10b-18(b)(4) under the Exchange Act for the three full calendar months preceding the announcement date of any Merger Transaction or potential Merger Transaction. Such written notice shall be deemed to be a certification by Counterparty to Dealer that such information is true and correct. In addition, Counterparty shall promptly notify Dealer of the earlier to occur of the completion of such transaction and the completion of the vote by target shareholders.

(b)

Counterparty acknowledges that any such Merger Announcement or delivery of a notice with respect thereto may cause the terms of any Transaction to be adjusted; accordingly, Counterparty acknowledges that its delivery of such notice must comply with the standards set forth in Section ‎8 hereof.

(c)

Upon the occurrence of any Merger Announcement (whether made by Counterparty or a third party), Dealer in its good faith and commercially reasonable discretion shall (A) make adjustments to the terms of any Transaction, including, without limitation, adjusting the Scheduled Termination Date or adjusting the Forward Price Adjustment Amount (which adjustments shall be limited to account solely for changes in volatility, expected dividends, stock loan rate, value of any commercially

reasonable Hedge Positions in connection with the Transaction and liquidity relevant to the Shares or to such Transaction) to preserve the fair value of such Transaction and/or (B) suspend the Calculation Period and/or any Settlement Valuation Period.

“Merger Transaction” means any merger, acquisition or similar transaction involving a recapitalization as contemplated by Rule 10b-18(a)(13)(iv) under the Exchange Act, other than, solely for purposes of this Section 10, any such transaction in which the consideration consists solely of cash and there is no valuation period.

11.

Special Provisions for Acquisition Transaction Announcements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Equity Definitions:

(a)

If an Acquisition Transaction Announcement occurs on or after the Trade Date on or prior to the final Termination Date for any Transaction, then the Calculation Agent shall make such commercially reasonable adjustments to the exercise, settlement, payment or any other terms of such Transaction as the Calculation Agent determines appropriate (including, without limitation and for the avoidance of doubt, adjustments that shift forward the First Acceleration Date and/or adjustments that would allow the Number of Shares to be Delivered to be less than zero), at such time or at multiple times as the Calculation Agent determines appropriate, to account for the economic effect on such Transaction of such event (which adjustments shall be limited to account solely for changes in volatility, expected dividends, stock loan rate, value of any commercially reasonable Hedge Positions in connection with the Transaction and liquidity relevant to the Shares or to such Transaction). If the Number of Shares to be Delivered for any settlement of any Transaction is a negative number, then the terms of the Counterparty Settlement Provisions in Annex A hereto shall apply.

(b)

“Acquisition Transaction Announcement” means (i) the announcement of an Acquisition Transaction or an event that, if consummated, would result in an Acquisition Transaction, (ii) an announcement that Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries has entered into an agreement, a letter of intent or an understanding that, if consummated, would result in an Acquisition Transaction, (iii) the announcement of the intention to solicit or enter into, or to explore strategic alternatives or other similar undertaking that may include, an Acquisition Transaction, (iv) any other announcement that, in the reasonable judgment of the Calculation Agent, is reasonably likely to result in an Acquisition Transaction (it being understood and agreed that in determining whether such announcement is reasonably likely to result in an Acquisition Transaction, the Calculation Agent may take into consideration, if it would be commercially reasonable to do so, the effect of such announcement on the Shares and/or options relating to the Shares), or (v) any announcement of any change or amendment to any previous Acquisition Transaction Announcement (including any announcement of the abandonment of any such previously announced Acquisition Transaction, agreement, letter of intent, understanding or intention). The term “announcement” as used in the definition of Acquisition Transaction Announcement shall mean any public statement or announcement related to an Acquisition Transaction that is made by (x) Counterparty (or any affiliate thereof) or (y) any entity (or affiliate thereof) that is (or is reasonably expected to be) a party to such Acquisition Transaction.

(c)

“Acquisition Transaction” means (i) any Merger Event (for purposes of this definition the definition of Merger Event shall be read with the references therein to “100%” being replaced by “25%” and references to “50%” being replaced by “75%” and without reference to the clause beginning immediately following the definition of Reverse Merger therein to the end of such definition), Tender Offer or Merger Transaction or any other transaction involving the merger of Counterparty with or into any third party, (ii) the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of Counterparty to a person or entity other than Counterparty or a subsidiary of Counterparty, (iii) a recapitalization, reclassification, binding share exchange or other similar transaction with respect to Counterparty, (iv) any acquisition by Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries (other than an acquisition between and/or among solely Counterparty and/or one or more subsidiaries of Counterparty) where the aggregate consideration transferable by Counterparty or its subsidiaries exceeds 35% of the market capitalization of Counterparty (measured as of the date of the relevant

announcement), (v) any lease, exchange, transfer, disposition (including, without limitation, by way of spin-off or distribution) of assets (including, without limitation, any capital stock or other ownership interests in subsidiaries) or other similar event by Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries (other than any lease, exchange, transfer, disposition or other similar event between and/or among solely Counterparty and/or one or more subsidiaries of Counterparty) where the aggregate consideration transferable or receivable by or to Counterparty or its subsidiaries exceeds 30% of the market capitalization of Counterparty (measured as of the date of the relevant announcement) or (vi) any transaction in which Counterparty or its board of directors has a legal obligation to make a recommendation to its shareholders in respect of such transaction (whether pursuant to Rule 14e-2 under the Exchange Act or otherwise).

12.

Acknowledgments.

(a)

The parties hereto intend for:

(i)

each Transaction to be a “securities contract” as defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code and a “forward contract” as defined in Section 101(25) of the Bankruptcy Code, and the parties hereto to be entitled to the protections afforded by, among other Sections, Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(27), 362(o), 546(e), 546(j), 555, 556, 560 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code;

the Agreement to be a “master netting agreement” as defined in Section 101(38A) of the Bankruptcy Code;

(iii)

a party’s right to liquidate, terminate or accelerate any Transaction, net out or offset termination values or payment amounts, and to exercise any other remedies upon the occurrence of any Event of Default or Termination Event under the Agreement with respect to the other party or any Extraordinary Event that results in the termination or cancellation of any Transaction to constitute a “contractual right” (as defined in the Bankruptcy Code); and

(iv)

all payments for, under or in connection with each Transaction, all payments for the Shares (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of the Prepayment Amount) and the transfer of such Shares to constitute “settlement payments” and “transfers” (as defined in the Bankruptcy Code).

(b)

Counterparty acknowledges that:

(i)

during the term of any Transaction, Dealer and its Affiliates may buy or sell Shares or other securities or buy or sell options or futures contracts or enter into swaps or other derivative securities in order to establish, adjust or unwind its Hedge Position with respect to such Transaction;

(ii)

Dealer and its Affiliates may also be active in the market for the Shares and Share-linked transactions other than in connection with hedging activities in relation to any Transaction;

(iii)

Dealer shall make its own determination as to whether, when or in what manner any hedging or market activities in Counterparty’s securities shall be conducted and shall do so in a manner that it deems appropriate to hedge its price and market risk with respect to the Forward Price and the VWAP Price;

(iv)

any market activities of Dealer and its Affiliates with respect to the Shares may affect the market price and volatility of the Shares, as well as the Forward Price, the VWAP Price and the Settlement Price, each in a manner that may be adverse to Counterparty; and

(v)

each Transaction is a derivatives transaction in which it has granted Dealer an option; Dealer may purchase shares for its own account at an average price that may be greater than, or less than, the price paid by Counterparty under the terms of the related Transaction.

13.

No Collateral, Netting or Setoff. Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement or any other agreement between the parties to the contrary, the obligations of Counterparty hereunder are not secured by any collateral. Obligations under any Transaction shall not be netted, recouped or set off (including pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement) against any other obligations of the parties, whether arising under the Agreement, this Master Confirmation or any Supplemental Confirmation, or under any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise, and no other obligations of the parties shall be netted, recouped or set off (including pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement) against obligations under any Transaction, whether arising under the Agreement, this Master Confirmation or any Supplemental Confirmation, or under any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise, and each party hereby waives any such right of setoff, netting or recoupment.

14.

Delivery of Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Dealer may, by prior notice to Counterparty, satisfy its obligation to deliver any Shares or other securities on any date due (an “Original Delivery Date”) by making separate deliveries of Shares or such securities, as the case may be, at more than one time on or prior to such Original Delivery Date, so long as the aggregate number of Shares and other securities so delivered on or prior to such Original Delivery Date is equal to the number required to be delivered on such Original Delivery Date. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Counterparty be obligated to return any Shares or securities delivered by Dealer pursuant to this provision.

15.

Alternative Termination Settlement. In the event that (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 any Transaction or (b) any 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 all holders of Shares consists solely of cash, (ii) a 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), if either party would owe any amount to the other party 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 Amount”), then, in lieu of any payment of such Payment Amount, unless Counterparty makes an election to the contrary no later than the Early Termination Date or the date on which such Transaction is terminated or cancelled, Counterparty or Dealer, as the case may be, shall deliver to the other party a number of Shares (or, in the case of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event, a number of units, each comprising the number or amount of the securities or property that a hypothetical holder of one Share would receive in such Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event, as the case may be (each such unit, an “Alternative Delivery Unit”)) with a value equal to the Payment Amount, as determined by the Calculation Agent over a commercially reasonable period of time (and the parties agree that, in making such determination of value, the Calculation Agent may take into account a number of factors, including, without limitation, the market price of the Shares or Alternative Delivery Units on the Early Termination Date or the date of early cancellation or termination, as the case may be, and, if such delivery is made by Dealer, the prices at which Dealer purchases Shares or Alternative Delivery Units to fulfill its delivery obligations under this Section ‎15; provided that the purchase prices of Dealer reflect the prevailing market prices of the Shares or Alternative Delivery Unit, as the case may be); provided that in determining the composition of any Alternative Delivery Unit, if the relevant Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event involves a choice of consideration to be received by holders, such holder shall be deemed to have elected to receive the maximum possible amount of cash; and provided further that Counterparty may elect that the provisions of this Section 15 above providing for the delivery of Shares or Alternative Delivery Units, as the case may be, shall not apply only if Counterparty represents and warrants to Dealer, in writing on the date it notifies Dealer of such election, that, as of such date, Counterparty is not aware of any material non-public information regarding Counterparty or the Shares and is making such election in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade compliance with the federal securities laws. If delivery of Shares or Alternative Delivery Units, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 15 is to be made by Counterparty, paragraphs 2 through 7 of Annex A hereto shall apply as if (A) such delivery were a

settlement of such Transaction to which Net Share Settlement applied, (B) the Cash Settlement Payment Date were the Early Termination Date or the date of early cancellation or termination, as the case may be, and (C) the Forward Cash Settlement Amount were equal to (x) zero minus (y) the Payment Amount owed by Counterparty. For the avoidance of doubt, if Counterparty validly elects for the provisions of this Section 15 relating to the delivery of Shares or Alternative Delivery Units, as the case may be, not to apply to any Payment Amount, the provisions of Article 12 of the Equity Definitions, or the provisions of Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, as the case may be, shall apply. If delivery of Shares or Alternative Delivery Units, as the case may be, is to be made by Dealer pursuant to this Section ‎15, the period during which Dealer purchases Shares or Alternative Delivery Units to fulfill its delivery obligations under this Section ‎15 shall be referred to as the “Seller Termination Purchase Period.”

16.

Calculations and Payment Date upon Early Termination. The parties acknowledge and agree that in calculating (a) the Close-Out Amount pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement or (b) the amount due upon cancellation or termination of any Transaction (whether in whole or in part) pursuant to Article 12 of the Equity Definitions as a result of an Extraordinary Event, Dealer may (but need not) in a commercially reasonable manner determine such amount based on (i) expected costs assuming a commercially reasonable (including, without limitation, with regard to reasonable legal and regulatory guidelines) risk bid were used to determine such amount or (ii) the price at which one or more market participants would offer to sell to the Seller a block of Shares equal in number to the Seller’s Hedge Position in relation to such Transaction assuming Dealer maintains a commercially reasonable Hedge Position. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement or Article 12 of the Equity Definitions, all amounts calculated as being due in respect of an Early Termination Date under Section 6(e) of the Agreement or upon cancellation or termination of the relevant Transaction under Article 12 of the Equity Definitions will be payable on the day that notice of the amount payable is effective; provided that if Counterparty elects to receive or deliver Shares or Alternative Delivery Units in accordance with Section ‎15 hereof, such Shares or Alternative Delivery Units shall be delivered on a date selected by the Calculation Agent as promptly as practicable thereafter.

17.

Limit on Beneficial Ownership. Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, Dealer may not be entitled to take delivery of any Shares deliverable hereunder to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after such receipt of any Shares hereunder, the Equity Percentage would exceed 7.5%. Any purported delivery hereunder shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after such delivery the Equity Percentage would exceed 7.5%. If any delivery owed to Dealer hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, Counterparty’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and Counterparty shall make such delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than one Business Day after, Dealer gives notice to Counterparty that, after such delivery, the Equity Percentage would not exceed 7.5%. The “Equity Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Dealer and any of its affiliates 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 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.

18.

Maximum Share Delivery. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Master Confirmation, in no event shall Dealer be required to deliver any Shares, or any Shares or other securities comprising Alternative Delivery Units, in respect of any Transaction in excess of the Maximum Number of Shares set forth in the Supplemental Confirmation for such Transaction.

19.

Additional Termination Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6 of the Agreement, if a Termination Price is specified in the Supplemental Confirmation for any Transaction and the VWAP Price of the Shares on the Exchange is below such Termination Price for any three (3) consecutive Exchange Business Days, then an Additional Termination Event shall occur on such third Exchange Business Day without any notice or action by Dealer or Counterparty, with Counterparty as the sole Affected Party and

such Transaction as the sole Affected Transaction, and the Exchange Business Day immediately following such third consecutive Exchange Business Day will be the “Early Termination Date” for such Transaction.

20.

Non-confidentiality. Dealer and Counterparty hereby acknowledge and agree that, subject to Section 8(e) hereof, each is authorized to disclose every aspect of this Master Confirmation, any Supplemental Confirmation and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, and there are no express or implied agreements, arrangements or understandings to the contrary.

21.

[Reserved]

22.

Assignment and Transfer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, Dealer may assign any of its rights or duties hereunder to any one or more of its Affiliates without the prior written consent of Counterparty; provided that such Affiliate of Dealer (1) has a rating for its long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness 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; provided further that such transfer and/or assignment shall be permitted only so long as (i) an Event of Default or Termination Event will not occur as a result of such transfer and assignment and (ii) as a result of such transfer and assignment, Counterparty will not (x) be required to pay or deliver to the transferee on any payment date or delivery date an amount or a number of Shares or Alternative Delivery Units, as applicable, that would, after taking into account amounts paid by the transferee under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement, be greater than the amount or the number of Shares or Alternative Delivery Units, respectively, that Counterparty would have been required to pay or deliver to Dealer in the absence of such transfer and assignment or (y) be entitled to receive from the transferee on any payment date or delivery date an amount or a number of Shares or Alternative Delivery Units, as applicable, that would, after taking into account amounts paid by the transferee under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement, be less than the amount or the number of Shares or Alternative Delivery Units, respectively, that Counterparty would have received from Dealer in the absence of such transfer and assignment. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Master Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to or from Counterparty, but subject to the limitations in the preceding sentence regarding obligations under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement, (i) Dealer may designate any of its Affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities and otherwise to perform Dealer’s obligations in respect of any Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations and (ii) Dealer may assign the right to receive Settlement Shares to any third party who may legally receive Settlement Shares. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty only to the extent of any such performance. For the avoidance of doubt, Dealer hereby acknowledges that notwithstanding any such designation hereunder, to the extent any of Dealer’s obligations in respect of any Transaction are not completed by its designee, Dealer shall be obligated to continue to perform or to cause any other of its designees to perform in respect of such obligations.

33.

CARES Act.

applicable law (whether in existence as of the Trade Date for such Transaction or subsequently enacted, adopted or amended), including without limitation the CARES Act and the Federal Reserve Act, as amended, and (b) requires under such applicable law (or any regulation, guidance, interpretation or other pronouncement of a governmental authority with jurisdiction for such program or facility) that such funds be used for specified or enumerated purposes that do not include the purchase of Shares pursuant to any Transaction (either by specific reference thereto or by general reference to transactions with the attributes thereof in all relevant respects).

Net Share Settlement Procedures:	If Net Share Settlement is applicable, Net Share Settlement shall be made in accordance with paragraphs 2 through 7 below.

2. Net Share Settlement shall be made by delivery on the Cash Settlement Payment Date of a number of Shares satisfying the conditions set forth in paragraph 3 below (the “Registered Settlement Shares”), or a number of Shares not satisfying such conditions (the “Unregistered Settlement Shares”), in either case with a value equal to the absolute value of the Forward Cash Settlement Amount (which value shall, in the case of Unregistered Settlement Shares, take into account a commercially reasonable illiquidity discount), in each case as determined by the

Annex A-1

Calculation Agent. If all of the conditions for delivery of either Registered Settlement Shares or Unregistered Settlement Shares have not been satisfied, Cash Settlement shall be applicable in accordance with paragraph 1 above notwithstanding Counterparty’s election of Net Share Settlement.

3. Counterparty may only deliver Registered Settlement Shares pursuant to paragraph 2 above if:

(a) a registration statement covering public resale of the Registered Settlement Shares by Dealer (the “Registration Statement”) shall have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act and been declared or otherwise become effective on or prior to the date of delivery, and no stop order shall be in effect with respect to the Registration Statement; a printed prospectus relating to the Registered Settlement Shares (including, without limitation, any prospectus supplement thereto, the “Prospectus”) shall have been delivered to Dealer, in such quantities as Dealer shall reasonably have requested, on or prior to the date of delivery;

(b) the form and content of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (including, without limitation, any sections describing the plan of distribution) shall be reasonably satisfactory to Dealer;

(c) as of or prior to the date of delivery, Dealer and its agents shall have been afforded a reasonable opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation with respect to Counterparty customary in scope for underwritten offerings of equity securities by issuers of comparable size to Counterparty and in the same industry as Counterparty and the results of such investigation are satisfactory to Dealer, in its good faith discretion; and

(d) as of the date of delivery, an agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) shall have been entered into with Dealer in connection with the public resale of the Registered Settlement Shares by Dealer substantially similar to underwriting agreements customary for underwritten offerings of equity securities by issuers of comparable size to Counterparty and in the same industry as Counterparty, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Dealer, which Underwriting Agreement shall include, without limitation, provisions substantially similar to those contained in such underwriting agreements relating, without limitation, to the indemnification of, and contribution in connection with the liability of, Dealer and its Affiliates and the provision of customary opinions, accountants’ comfort letters and lawyers’ negative assurance letters and shall provide for the payment by Counterparty of all reasonable, out-of-pocket fees and expenses of Dealer (and any such Affiliate) in connection with such resale, including, without limitation, all reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel for Dealer (but shall not require the payment of any underwriting spread, commission, private placement fee or similar fee to Dealer or any of its Affiliates).

4. If Counterparty delivers Unregistered Settlement Shares pursuant to paragraph 2 above:

(a) all Unregistered Settlement Shares shall be delivered to Dealer (or any Affiliate of Dealer designated by Dealer) pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 4(a)(2) thereof;

(b) as of or prior to the date of delivery, Dealer and any potential purchaser of any such shares from Dealer (or any Affiliate of Dealer designated by Dealer) identified by Dealer shall be afforded a commercially reasonable opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation with respect to Counterparty customary in scope for private placements of equity securities by issuers of comparable size to Counterparty and in the same industry as Counterparty (including, without limitation, the right to have made available to them for inspection all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and other information reasonably requested by them);

(c) as of the date of delivery, Counterparty shall enter into an agreement (a “Private Placement Agreement”) with Dealer (or any Affiliate of Dealer designated by Dealer) in connection with the private placement of such shares by Counterparty to Dealer (or any such Affiliate) and the private resale of such shares by Dealer (or any such Affiliate), substantially similar to private placement purchase agreements customary for private placements of equity securities by issuers of comparable size to Counterparty and in the same industry as Counterparty, in form and substance commercially reasonably satisfactory to Dealer, which Private Placement Agreement shall include, without limitation, provisions substantially similar to those contained in such private placement purchase agreements relating, without limitation, to the indemnification of, and contribution in connection with the liability of, Dealer and its Affiliates (but shall not provide for the delivery of legal opinions, accountants’ comfort letters or lawyers’ negative assurance letters) and shall provide for the payment by Counterparty of all reasonable, out-of-pocket fees and expenses of Dealer (and any such Affiliate) in connection with such resale, including, without limitation, all reasonable fees

Annex A-2

and expenses of outside counsel for Dealer (but shall not require the payment of any underwriting spread, commission, private placement fee or similar fee to Dealer or any of its Affiliates), and shall contain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Counterparty reasonably necessary or advisable to establish and maintain the availability of an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act for such resales; and

(d) in connection with the private placement of such shares by Counterparty to Dealer (or any such Affiliate) and the private resale of such shares by Dealer (or any such Affiliate), Counterparty shall, if so requested by Dealer, prepare, in cooperation with Dealer, a private placement memorandum in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Dealer.

5. Dealer, itself or through an Affiliate (the “Selling Agent”) or any underwriter(s), will sell all, or such lesser portion as may be required hereunder, of the Registered Settlement Shares or Unregistered Settlement Shares and any Makewhole Shares (as defined below) (together, the “Settlement Shares”) delivered by Counterparty to Dealer pursuant to paragraph 6 below as promptly as reasonably practicable commencing on the Cash Settlement Payment Date and continuing until the date on which the aggregate Net Proceeds (as such term is defined below) of such sales, as determined by Dealer, is equal to the absolute value of the Forward Cash Settlement Amount (such date, the “Final Resale Date”). Once the proceeds of any sale(s) made by Dealer, the Selling Agent or any underwriter(s) net of any reasonable, out-of-pocket fees and expenses of Dealer, the Selling Agent or such underwriter(s) (the “Net Proceeds”) equal the absolute value of the Forward Cash Settlement Amount, Dealer, the Selling Agent and any such underwriter(s) shall immediately cease selling any Settlement Shares at such time and shall return to Counterparty, no later than the second Exchange Business Day immediately following the Final Resale Date, the portion of the Settlement Shares that remains unsold.

6. If the Calculation Agent determines that the Net Proceeds received from the sale of the Registered Settlement Shares or Unregistered Settlement Shares or any Makewhole Shares, if any, pursuant to this paragraph 6 are less than the absolute value of the Forward Cash Settlement Amount (the amount in USD by which the Net Proceeds are less than the absolute value of the Forward Cash Settlement Amount being the “Shortfall” and the date on which such determination is made, the “Deficiency Determination Date”), Counterparty shall on the Exchange Business Day next succeeding the Deficiency Determination Date (the “Makewhole Notice Date”) deliver to Dealer, through the Selling Agent, a notice of Counterparty’s election that Counterparty shall either (i) pay an amount in cash equal to the Shortfall on the day that is three Currency Business Days after the Makewhole Notice Date, or (ii) deliver additional Shares. If Counterparty elects to deliver to Dealer additional Shares, then Counterparty shall deliver additional Shares in compliance with the terms and conditions of paragraph 3 or paragraph 4 above, as the case may be (the “Makewhole Shares”), on the third Clearance System Business Day which is also an Exchange Business Day following the Makewhole Notice Date in such number as the Calculation Agent reasonably determines would have a market value on that Exchange Business Day equal to the Shortfall. Such Makewhole Shares shall be sold by Dealer in accordance with the provisions above; provided that if the sum of the Net Proceeds from the sale of the originally delivered Shares and the Net Proceeds from the sale of any Makewhole Shares is less than the absolute value of the Forward Cash Settlement Amount then Counterparty shall, at its election, either make such cash payment or deliver to Dealer further Makewhole Shares until such Shortfall has been reduced to zero.

7. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the aggregate number of Settlement Shares for any Transaction be greater than the Reserved Shares for such Transaction minus the amount of any Shares actually delivered by Counterparty under any other Transaction under this Master Confirmation (the result of such calculation, the “Capped Number”). Counterparty represents and warrants (which shall be deemed to be repeated on each day that a Transaction is outstanding) that the Capped Number is equal to or less than the number of Shares determined according to the following formula:

A – B

Where	A =	the number of authorized but unissued shares of Counterparty that are not reserved for future issuance on the date of the determination of the Capped Number; and
	B =	the maximum number of Shares required to be delivered to third parties if Counterparty elected Net Share Settlement of all transactions in the Shares (other than Transactions in the Shares under this Master Confirmation) with all third parties that are then currently outstanding and unexercised.

Annex A-3

“Reserved Shares” for any Transaction shall be as set forth in the Supplemental Confirmation for such Transaction.

If at any time, as a result of this paragraph 7, Counterparty fails to deliver to Dealer any Settlement Shares, Counterparty shall, to the extent that Counterparty has at such time authorized but unissued Shares not reserved for other purposes, promptly notify Dealer thereof and deliver to Dealer a number of Shares not previously delivered as a result of this paragraph 7. Counterparty agrees to use its best efforts to cause the number of authorized but unissued Shares to be increased, if necessary, to an amount sufficient to permit Counterparty to fulfill its obligation to deliver any Settlement Shares.
