We elected the package of practical expedients available for transition which allows us to not reassess whether expired or existing contracts contain leases under the new definition of a lease, lease classification for expired or existing leases and whether previously capitalized initial direct costs would qualify for capitalization under ASC 842.
|
•
|
We elected to use hindsight when considering judgments and estimates such as assessments of lessee options to extend or terminate a lease or purchase the underlying asset.
|
•
|
For all asset classes, we elected to not recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability for short-term leases.
|
•
|
For all asset classes, we elected to not separate non-lease components from lease components to which they relate and have accounted for the combined lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.
|
•
|
The determination of the discount rate used in a lease is our incremental borrowing rate which is based on what we would normally pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over a similar term.

As of March 31, 2019, the closing price of our ordinary shares was greater than
130%
of the 2021 Notes conversion price for
20
or more of the
30
consecutive trading days preceding the quarter-end; and, therefore, the holders of the 2021 Notes may convert the notes during the succeeding quarterly period. Due to the ability of the holders of the 2021 Notes to convert the notes during this period, the carrying value of the 2021 Notes were classified as current liabilities as of March 31, 2019. The holders of the 2020 Notes may convert their notes at any time prior to
August 15, 2019
solely into cash upon satisfaction of certain circumstances as described below. On or after August 15, 2019, holders may convert their 2020 Notes solely into cash, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Due to the ability of the holders of the 2020 Notes to convert within the next year, the carrying value of the 2020 Notes were classified as current liabilities as of March 31, 2019 and December 30, 2018.

As of March 31, 2019, the closing price of our ordinary shares was greater than 130% of the 2021 Notes conversion price for 20 or more of the 30 consecutive trading days preceding the quarter-end, and, therefore, the holders of the 2021 Notes may convert the notes during the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2019. Due to the ability of the holders of the 2021 Notes to convert the notes during this period, the $327 million carrying value of the 2021 Notes and the $248 million fair value of the 2021 Notes Conversion Derivatives were classified as current liabilities and the $250 million fair value of the 2021 Notes Hedges was classified as current assets as of March 31, 2019. We currently do not expect significant conversions of the 2021 Notes because they currently trade at a premium to the as-converted value, and a converting holder would forego future interest payments. However, any conversions would reduce our cash resources. We believe that, in the event that holders elect to exercise the conversion option, our cash resources and access to additional borrowings would provide the necessary liquidity.

The next generation reverse shoulder implant system is a reverse shoulder replacement implant having glenoid or glenoid and humeral implant components. We have an anticipated first clinical use in 2020 and launch in the second half of 2021; however, the risks and uncertainties associated with completion are dependent upon testing validations and FDA and CE mark clearance. We have incurred expenses of less than $0.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019. Project cost to complete is estimated to be less than $2 million.

The CMC thumb implant is an arthroplasty device designed to resurface the CMC joint for the treatment of osteoarthritis. We anticipate the launch of CMC thumb implant no earlier than 2021; however, the risks and uncertainties associated with completion are dependent upon testing validations and FDA clearance. We have incurred expenses of approximately $0.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019. Project cost to complete is estimated to be less than $3 million.

Such transfer or assignment shall be effected on terms, including any reasonable undertakings by such third party (including, but not limited to, an undertaking with respect to compliance with applicable securities laws in a manner that, in the reasonable judgment of Dealer, will not expose Dealer to material risks under applicable securities laws) and execution of any documentation and delivery of legal opinions with respect to securities laws and other matters by such third party, Counterparty and Parent, as are requested and reasonably satisfactory to Dealer;
|
(C)
|
Dealer will not, as a result of such transfer and assignment, be required to pay the transferee on any payment date an amount under
|
(D)
|
An Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or Termination Event will not occur as a result of such transfer and assignment;
|
(E)
|
Without limiting the generality of clause (B), Counterparty shall cause the transferee to make such Payee Tax Representations and to provide such tax documentation as may be reasonably requested by Dealer to permit Dealer to determine that results described in clause (C) will not occur upon or after such transfer and assignment; and
|
(F)
|
Counterparty and Parent, jointly and severally, shall be responsible for all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, incurred by Dealer in connection with such transfer or assignment;
|
(ii)
|
Dealer may, without Counterparty’s or Parent’s consent, transfer or assign all or any part of its rights or obligations under the Transaction (A) to any affiliate of Dealer (1) that 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 (B) to any other third party with a rating for its long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness equal to or better than the lesser of (1) the credit rating of Dealer at the time of the transfer and (2) A- by Standard and Poor’s Rating Group, Inc. or its successor (“
S&P
”), or A3 by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. (“
Moody’s
”) or, if either S&P or Moody’s ceases to rate such debt, at least an equivalent rating or better by a substitute rating agency mutually agreed by Counterparty and Dealer. If at any time at which (A) the Section 16 Percentage exceeds 7.5%, (B) the Option Equity Percentage exceeds 14.5%, or (C) the Share Amount exceeds the Applicable Share Limit (if any applies) (any such condition described in clauses (A), (B) or (C), an “
Excess Ownership Position
”), Dealer is unable after using its good faith and commercially reasonable efforts to effect a transfer or assignment of Options to a third party on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to Dealer and within a time period reasonably acceptable to Dealer such that no Excess Ownership Position exists, then Dealer may designate any Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction (the “
Terminated Portion
”), such that following such partial termination no Excess Ownership Position exists. In the event that Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement
|

Ratings Decline
. If at any time the long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of Dealer is rated Ba1 or lower by Moody’s or BB+ or lower by S&P (any such rating, a “
Ratings Downgrade
”), then Counterparty may, at any time following the occurrence and during the continuation of such Ratings Downgrade, provide written notice to Dealer specifying that it elects for this Section 9(f) to apply (a “
Trigger Notice
”). Upon receipt by Dealer of a Trigger Notice from Counterparty, Dealer shall promptly elect that either (i) the parties shall negotiate in good faith terms for collateral arrangements pursuant to which Dealer is required to provide collateral (including, but not limited to, equity or equity-linked securities issued by Counterparty or Issuer, as applicable) to Counterparty in respect of the Transaction with a value equal to the full mark-to-market exposure of Counterparty under the Transaction, as determined by Dealer in a good faith commercially reasonable manner, or (ii) an Additional Termination Event shall occur and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (A) Counterparty shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, and (B) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction.
|
(g)
|
Each party agrees and acknowledges that (i) J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, an affiliate of Dealer (“
JPMS
”), has acted solely as agent for Dealer (and not as agent for Counterparty) and not as principal with respect to the Transaction and (ii) JPMS has no obligation or liability, by way of guaranty, endorsement or otherwise, in any manner in respect of the Transaction (including, if applicable, in respect of the settlement thereof). Each party agrees it will look solely to the other party (or any guarantor in respect thereof) for performance of such other party’s obligations under the Transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, any performance by Dealer of its obligations hereunder solely to JPMS shall not relieve Dealer of such obligations. Any performance by Counterparty of its obligations (including notice obligations) through or by means of JPMS’ agency for Dealer shall constitute good performance of Counterparty’s obligations hereunder to Dealer.

Additional Termination Events
.
|
(i)
|
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation if an event of default occurs under the terms of the Exchangeable Notes as set forth in Section 6.01 of the Indenture, then such event of default shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (A) Counterparty shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, (B) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (C) Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement.
|
(ii)
|
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, the receipt by Dealer from Counterparty, within the applicable time period set forth under “Notice of Exercise” of any Notice of Exercise in respect of Options that relate to Exchangeable Notes as to which additional Shares would be added to the Exchange Rate pursuant to Section 14.03 of the Indenture in connection with a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Indenture) (such Exchangeable Notes, “
Make-Whole Exchangeable Notes
”) shall constitute an Additional Termination Event as provided in this Section 9(h)(ii). Upon receipt of any such Notice of Exercise, Dealer shall designate an Exchange Business Day following such Additional Termination Event (which Exchange Business Day shall in no event be earlier than the related settlement date for such Exchangeable Notes) as an Early Termination Date with respect to the portion of this Transaction corresponding to a number of Options (the “
Make-Whole Exchange Options
”) equal to the lesser of (A) the number of such Options specified in such Notice of Exercise and (B) the Number of Options as of the date Dealer designates such Early Termination Date (prior to giving effect to a reduction thereto on such date pursuant to the immediately following sentence). As of any such Early Termination Date, the Number of Options shall be reduced by the applicable number of Make-Whole Exchange Options. Any payment hereunder with respect to such termination of the Make-Whole Exchange Options shall be calculated pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement using a volatility input that is equal to the Relevant Volatility Input, as if (1) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to this Transaction and a Number of Options equal to the number of Make-Whole Exchange Options, (2) Counterparty were the sole Affected Party with respect to such Additional Termination Event and (3) the terminated portion of the Transaction were the sole Affected Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, in determining the amount payable pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement, the Calculation Agent shall not take into account any adjustments to the Option Entitlement that result from corresponding adjustments to the Exchange Rate pursuant to Section 14.03 of the Indenture);
provided
that the amount of cash deliverable in respect of such early termination by Dealer to Counterparty shall not be greater than the product of (x) the Applicable Percentage, (y) the number of Make-Whole Exchange Options and (z) the excess of (I) (1) the Exchange Rate (after taking into account any applicable adjustments to the Exchange Rate pursuant to Section 14.03 of the Indenture)
multiplied by
(2) a price per Share determined by the Calculation Agent over (II) the principal amount per Make-Whole Exchangeable Note, as determined by the Calculation Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Transaction (or a portion of the Transaction) is subject to termination or cancellation both (i) pursuant to this Section 9(h)(ii) and (ii) pursuant to either Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions, in each case, as a result of the same “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Indenture), as determined by Dealer in good faith and commercially
|
(iii)

Repayment Exchangeable Notes
”) (any such notice, a “
Repayment Notice
”). The receipt by Dealer from Counterparty of any Repayment Notice shall constitute an Additional Termination Event as provided in this Section 9(h)(iii).

For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of bankruptcy or liquidation of Parent, Counterparty or Dealer, no party shall have the right to set off any obligation that it may have to the other parties under the Transaction against any obligation such other parties may have to it, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation or any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise.

|
Share Termination Unit Price:
|
The value to Dealer of property contained in one Share Termination Delivery Unit, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its discretion by commercially reasonable means and notified by the Calculation Agent to Dealer at the time of notification of the Payment Obligation. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that in determining the Share Termination Unit Price the Calculation Agent may consider, if commercially reasonable, the purchase price paid in connection with the purchase of Share Termination Delivery Property.
|
Share Termination Delivery Unit:
|
One Share or, if the Shares have changed into cash or any other property or the right to receive cash or any other property as the result of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event (any such cash or other property, the “

Transfer or Assignment
.
|
(i)
|
Counterparty shall have the right to transfer or assign its rights and obligations hereunder with respect to all, but not less than all, of the Options hereunder (such Options, the “
Transfer Options
”);
provided
that such transfer or assignment shall be subject to reasonable conditions that Dealer may impose, including but not limited, to the following conditions
|
(A)
|
With respect to any Transfer Options, neither Parent nor Counterparty shall be released from its notice and indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 9(b) or any obligations under Section 9(m) or 9(q) of this Confirmation;
|
(B)
|
Such transfer or assignment shall be effected on terms, including any reasonable undertakings by such third party (including, but not limited to, an undertaking with respect to compliance with applicable securities laws in a manner that, in the reasonable judgment of Dealer, will not expose Dealer to material risks under applicable securities laws) and execution of any documentation and delivery of legal opinions with respect to securities laws and other matters by such third party, Counterparty and Parent, as are requested and reasonably satisfactory to Dealer;
|
(C)
|
Dealer will not, as a result of such transfer and assignment, be required to pay the transferee on any payment date an amount under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement greater than an amount that Dealer would have been required to pay to Counterparty in the absence of such transfer and assignment;
|
(D)
|
An Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or Termination Event will not occur as a result of such transfer and assignment;
|
(E)
|
Without limiting the generality of clause (B), Counterparty shall cause the transferee to make such Payee Tax Representations and to provide such tax documentation as may be reasonably requested by Dealer to permit Dealer to determine that results described in clause (C) will not occur upon or after such transfer and assignment; and
|
(F)
|
Counterparty and Parent, jointly and severally, shall be responsible for all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, incurred by Dealer in connection with such transfer or assignment;
|
(ii)
|
Dealer may, without Counterparty’s or Parent’s consent, transfer or assign all or any part of its rights or obligations under the Transaction (A) to any affiliate of Dealer (1) that 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 (B) to any other third party with a rating for its long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness equal to or better than the lesser of (1) the credit rating of Dealer at the time of the transfer and (2) A- by Standard and Poor’s Rating Group, Inc. or its successor (“
S&P
”), or A3 by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. (“
Moody’s
”) or, if either S&P or Moody’s ceases to rate such debt, at least an equivalent rating or better by a substitute rating agency mutually agreed by Counterparty and Dealer. If at any time at which (A) the Section 16 Percentage exceeds 7.5%, (B) the Option Equity Percentage exceeds 14.5%, or (C) the Share Amount exceeds the Applicable Share Limit (if any applies) (any such condition described in clauses (A), (B) or (C), an “
Excess Ownership Position
”), Dealer is unable after using its good faith and commercially reasonable efforts to effect a transfer or assignment of Options to a third party on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to Dealer and within a time period reasonably acceptable to Dealer such that no Excess Ownership Position exists, then Dealer may designate any Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction (the “
Terminated Portion
”), such that following such partial termination no Excess Ownership Position exists. In the event that Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (1) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Transaction and a Number of Options equal to the number of Options underlying the Terminated Portion, (2) Counterparty were the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (3) the Terminated Portion were the sole Affected Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 9(k) shall apply to any amount that is payable by Dealer to Counterparty pursuant to this sentence as if Counterparty was not the Affected Party). The “
Section 16 Percentage
” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Dealer and any of its affiliates or any other person subject to aggregation with Dealer for purposes of the “beneficial ownership” test under Section 13 of the Exchange Act, or any “group” (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act) of which Dealer is or may be deemed to be a part beneficially owns (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act), without duplication, on such day (or, to the extent that for any reason the equivalent calculation under Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder results in a higher number, such higher number) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day. The “
Option Equity Percentage
” as of any day is the fraction,
|
(iii)
|
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities, or make or receive any payment in cash, to or from Counterparty or Parent, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities, or to make or receive such payment in cash, and otherwise to perform Dealer’s obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty and Parent to the extent of any such performance.
|
(f)
|
Ratings Decline
. If at any time the long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of Dealer is rated Ba1 or lower by Moody’s or BB+ or lower by S&P (any such rating, a “
Ratings Downgrade
”), then Counterparty may, at any time following the occurrence and during the continuation of such Ratings Downgrade, provide written notice to Dealer specifying that it elects for this Section 9(f) to apply (a “
Trigger Notice
”). Upon receipt by Dealer of a Trigger Notice from Counterparty, Dealer shall promptly elect that either (i) the parties shall negotiate in good faith terms for collateral arrangements pursuant to which Dealer is required to provide collateral (including, but not limited to, equity or equity-linked securities issued by Counterparty or Issuer, as applicable) to Counterparty in respect of the Transaction with a value equal to the full mark-to-market exposure of Counterparty under the Transaction, as determined by Dealer in a good faith commercially reasonable manner, or (ii) an Additional Termination Event shall occur and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (A) Counterparty shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, and (B) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction.

Additional Termination Events
.
|
(i)
|
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation if an event of default occurs under the terms of the Exchangeable Notes as set forth in Section 6.01 of the Indenture, then such event of default shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (A) Counterparty shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, (B) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (C) Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement.
|
(ii)
|
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, the receipt by Dealer from Counterparty, within the applicable time period set forth under “Notice of Exercise” of any Notice of Exercise in respect of Options that relate to Exchangeable Notes as to which additional Shares would be added to the Exchange Rate pursuant to Section 14.03 of the Indenture in connection with a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Indenture) (such Exchangeable Notes, “
Make-Whole Exchangeable Notes
”) shall constitute an Additional Termination Event as provided in this Section 9(h)(ii). Upon receipt of any such Notice of Exercise, Dealer shall designate an Exchange Business Day following such Additional Termination Event (which Exchange Business Day shall in no event be earlier than the related settlement date for such Exchangeable Notes) as an Early Termination Date with respect to the portion of this Transaction corresponding to a number of Options (the “
Make-Whole Exchange Options
”) equal to the lesser of (A) the number of such Options specified in such Notice of Exercise and (B) the Number of Options as of the date Dealer designates such Early Termination Date (prior to giving effect to a reduction thereto on such date pursuant to the immediately following sentence). As of any such Early Termination Date, the Number of Options shall be reduced by the applicable number of Make-Whole Exchange Options. Any payment hereunder with respect to such termination of the Make-Whole Exchange Options shall be calculated pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement using a volatility input that is equal to the Relevant Volatility Input, as if (1) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to this Transaction and a Number of Options equal to the number of Make-Whole Exchange Options, (2) Counterparty were the sole Affected Party with respect to such Additional Termination Event and (3) the terminated portion of the Transaction were the sole Affected Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, in determining the amount payable pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement, the Calculation Agent shall not take into account any adjustments to the Option Entitlement that result from corresponding adjustments to the Exchange Rate pursuant to Section 14.03 of the Indenture);
provided
that the amount of cash deliverable in respect of such early termination by Dealer to Counterparty shall not be greater than the product of (x) the Applicable

(iii)

Repayment Exchangeable Notes
”) (any such notice, a “
Repayment Notice
”). The receipt by Dealer from Counterparty of any Repayment Notice shall constitute an Additional Termination Event as provided in this Section 9(h)(iii).

Alternative Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events
. If in respect of the Transaction, an amount is payable by Dealer to Counterparty (i) pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or (ii) pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (any such amount, a “
Payment Obligation
”), Dealer shall satisfy the Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative (as defined below), unless (a) Counterparty gives irrevocable telephonic notice to Dealer, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day, no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Merger Date, the Tender Offer Date, the Announcement Date (in the case of Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), the Early Termination Date or date of cancellation, as applicable, of its election that the Share Termination Alternative shall not apply, (b) Counterparty remakes (which representation is confirmed to Dealer in writing by Issuer, if other than Counterparty) the representation set forth in Section 8(f) as of the date of such election and (c) Dealer agrees, in its reasonable discretion, to such election, in which case the provisions of Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions, or the provisions of Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, as the case may be, shall apply.

|
Share Termination Unit Price:
|
The value to Dealer of property contained in one Share Termination Delivery Unit, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its discretion by commercially reasonable means and notified by the Calculation Agent to Dealer at the time of notification of the Payment Obligation. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that in determining the Share Termination Unit Price the Calculation Agent may consider, if commercially reasonable, the purchase price paid in connection with the purchase of Share Termination Delivery Property.
|
Share Termination Delivery Unit:
|
One Share or, if the Shares have changed into cash or any other property or the right to receive cash or any other property as the result of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event (any such cash or other property, the “

If at any time at which (A) the Section 16 Percentage exceeds 7.5%, (B) the Warrant Equity Percentage exceeds 14.5%, or (C) the Share Amount exceeds the Applicable Share Limit (if any applies) (any such condition described in clauses (A), (B) or (C), an “
Excess Ownership Position
”), Dealer is unable after using its commercially reasonable efforts to effect a transfer or assignment of Warrants to a third party on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to Dealer and within a time period reasonably acceptable to Dealer such that no Excess Ownership Position exists, then Dealer may designate any Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction (the “

If any delivery owed to Dealer hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, Company’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and Company shall make such delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than one Business Day after, Dealer gives notice to Company that, after such delivery, (i) the Section 16 Percentage would not exceed 7.5%, and (ii) the Share Amount would not exceed the Applicable Share Limit.

|
(i)
|
Counterparty shall have the right to transfer or assign its rights and obligations hereunder with respect to all, but not less than all, of the Options hereunder (such Options, the “
Transfer Options
”);
provided
that such transfer or assignment shall be subject to reasonable conditions that Dealer may impose, including but not limited, to the following conditions:
|
(A)
|
With respect to any Transfer Options, neither Parent nor Counterparty shall be released from its notice and indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 9(b) or any obligations under Section 9(m) or 9(q) of this Confirmation;
|
(B)
|
Such transfer or assignment shall be effected on terms, including any reasonable undertakings by such third party (including, but not limited to, an undertaking with respect to compliance with applicable securities laws in a manner that, in the reasonable judgment of Dealer, will not expose Dealer to material risks under applicable securities laws) and execution of any documentation and delivery of legal opinions with respect to securities laws and other matters by such third party, Counterparty and Parent, as are requested and reasonably satisfactory to Dealer;
|
(C)
|
Dealer will not, as a result of such transfer and assignment, be required to pay the transferee on any payment date an amount under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement greater than an amount that Dealer would have been required to pay to Counterparty in the absence of such transfer and assignment;
|
(D)
|

|
(E)

|
(ii)
|
Dealer may, without Counterparty’s or Parent’s consent, transfer or assign all or any part of its rights or obligations under the Transaction (A) to any affiliate of Dealer (1) that 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 (B) to any other third party with a rating for its long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness equal to or better than the lesser of (1) the credit rating of Dealer at the time of the transfer and (2) A- by Standard and Poor’s Rating Group, Inc. or its successor (“
S&P
”), or A3 by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. (“
Moody’s

Excess Ownership Position

Terminated Portion

Section 16 Percentage

Ratings Decline
. If at any time the long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of Dealer is rated Ba1 or lower by Moody’s or BB+ or lower by S&P (any such rating, a “
Ratings Downgrade

Trigger Notice

Make-Whole Exchangeable Notes
”) shall constitute an Additional Termination Event as provided in this Section 9(h)(ii). Upon receipt of any such Notice of Exercise, Dealer shall designate an Exchange Business Day following such Additional Termination Event (which Exchange Business Day shall in no event be earlier than the related settlement date for such Exchangeable Notes) as an Early Termination Date with respect to the portion of this Transaction corresponding to a number of Options (the “
Make-Whole Exchange Options
”) equal to the lesser of (A)(x) the number of such Options specified in such Notice of Exercise
minus
(y) the number of “Make-Whole Exchange Options” (as defined in the Base Call Option Confirmation), if any, that relate to such Make-Whole Exchangeable Notes (and for the purposes of determining whether any Options under this Confirmation or under the Base Call Option Confirmation will be among the Make-Whole Exchange Options hereunder or under, and as defined in, the Base Call Option Confirmation, the Make-Whole Exchangeable Notes specified in such Notice of Exercise shall be allocated first to the Base Call Option Confirmation until all Options thereunder are exercised or terminated) and (B) the Number of Options as of the date Dealer designates such Early Termination Date (prior to giving effect to a reduction thereto on such date pursuant to the immediately following sentence).

Repayment Notice
”);
provided
that any “Repayment Notice” delivered to Dealer pursuant to the Base Call Option Confirmation shall be deemed to be a Repayment Notice pursuant to this Confirmation and the terms of such Repayment Notice shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to this Confirmation. The receipt by Dealer from Counterparty of any Repayment Notice shall constitute an Additional Termination Event as provided in this Section 9(h)(iii).

Transfer or Assignment
. Company may not transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Transaction without the prior written consent of Dealer.

provided
,
however
, that the transferee or assignee shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment of additional amounts under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement than Dealer would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Tax Law that occurs after the date of the transfer or assignment.

Excess Ownership Position

Terminated Portion

Dividends

Ex‑Dividend Date

In addition to, and without limitation of, the other requirements set forth in this Section 9(k)(i), the Issuer will use its best efforts to provide that the Private Placement Settlement of such Restricted Shares shall include customary representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to Dealer, due diligence rights (for Dealer or any designated buyer of the Restricted Shares by Dealer), opinions and certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for private placement agreements, all commercially reasonably acceptable to Dealer.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement or this Confirmation, the date of delivery of such Restricted Shares shall be the Exchange Business Day following notice by Dealer to Company, of such applicable discount and the number of Restricted Shares to be delivered pursuant to this clause (i). For the avoidance of doubt, delivery of Restricted Shares shall be due as set forth in the previous sentence and not be due on the Share Termination Payment Date (in the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to Section 9(j) above) or on the Settlement Date for such Restricted Shares (in the case of settlement in Shares pursuant to Section 2 above).

Base Warrant Confirmation
”), (i) the Section 16 Percentage would exceed 7.5%, or (ii) the Share Amount would exceed the Applicable Share Limit.

If any delivery owed to Dealer hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, Company’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and Company shall make such delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than one Business Day after, Dealer gives notice to Company that, after such delivery, (i) the Section 16 Percentage would not exceed 7.5%, and (ii) the Share Amount would not exceed the Applicable Share Limit.

|
(ii)

In the event Company shall not have issued to Dealer the full number of Shares or Restricted Shares otherwise to be issued by Issuer to Dealer pursuant to the terms of the Transaction because Company has insufficient authorized capital to issue the full number of Shares or Restricted Shares (such deficit, the “
Deficit Shares

Company shall immediately notify Dealer of the occurrence of any of the foregoing events (including the number of Shares that are repurchased, acquired or otherwise received by Company or any of its subsidiaries after the Trade Date and the corresponding number of Shares or Restricted Shares, as the case may be, to be transferred) and promptly transfer such Shares or Restricted Shares, as the case may be, thereafter.

provided
,
however
, that the transferee or assignee shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment of additional amounts under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement than Dealer would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Tax Law that occurs after the date of the transfer or assignment. If at any time at which (A) the Section 16 Percentage exceeds 7.5%, (B) the Warrant Equity Percentage exceeds 14.5%, or (C) the Share Amount exceeds the Applicable Share Limit (if any applies) (any such condition described in clauses (A), (B) or (C), an “
Excess Ownership Position
”), Dealer is unable after using its commercially reasonable efforts to effect a transfer or assignment of Warrants to a third party on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to Dealer and within a time period reasonably acceptable to Dealer such that no Excess Ownership Position exists, then Dealer may designate any Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction (the “
Terminated Portion
”), such that following such partial termination no Excess Ownership Position exists. In the event that Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a Terminated Portion, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (1) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Transaction and a Number of Warrants equal to the number of Warrants underlying the Terminated

In addition to, and without limitation of, the other requirements set forth in this Section 9(k)(i), the Issuer will use its best efforts to provide that the Private Placement Settlement of such Restricted Shares shall include customary representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to Dealer, due diligence rights (for Dealer or any designated buyer of the Restricted Shares by Dealer), opinions and certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for private placement agreements, all commercially reasonably acceptable to Dealer. In the case of a Private Placement Settlement, Dealer shall determine the appropriate discount to the Share Termination Unit Price (in the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to Section 9(j) above) or any Settlement Price (in the case of settlement of Shares pursuant to Section 2 above) applicable to such Restricted Shares in a commercially reasonable manner and appropriately adjust the number of such Restricted Shares to be delivered to Dealer hereunder.

Base Warrant Confirmation
”), (i) the Section 16 Percentage would exceed 7.5%, or (ii) the Share Amount would exceed the Applicable Share Limit.

If any delivery owed to Dealer hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, Company’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and Company shall make such delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than one Business Day after, Dealer gives notice to Company that, after such delivery, (i) the Section 16 Percentage would not exceed 7.5%, and (ii) the Share Amount would not exceed the Applicable Share Limit.

|
(ii)
|
In the event Company shall not have issued to Dealer the full number of Shares or Restricted Shares otherwise to be issued by Issuer to Dealer pursuant to the terms of the Transaction because Company has insufficient authorized capital to issue the full number of Shares or Restricted Shares (such deficit, the “
