For each Component, as set forth in (a) Annex A or, (b) if a Components schedule is included in the Supplemental Confirmation, the Supplemental Confirmation; provided that if that date is a Disrupted Day, the Expiration Date for such Component shall be the first succeeding Scheduled Trading Day that is not a Disrupted Day and is not or is not deemed to be an Expiration Date in respect of any other Component of any Transaction hereunder; and provided further that if such Expiration Date has not occurred pursuant to this clause as of the eighth Scheduled Trading Day following the last scheduled Expiration Date under the relevant Transaction, then the Calculation Agent shall have the right to declare such Scheduled Trading Day to be the final Expiration Date, in which case the Settlement Price for that eighth Scheduled Trading Day shall be the Calculation Agent’s good faith estimate of the fair market value of a Share as of the Valuation Time on that eighth Scheduled Trading Day or on any subsequent Scheduled Trading Day, as the Calculation Agent shall determine using commercially reasonable means.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary in the Equity Definitions, if a Market Disruption Event occurs on any Expiration Date, the Calculation Agent may determine that such Expiration Date is a Disrupted Day only in part, in which case the Calculation Agent shall (i) adjust the Number of Options for the relevant Component for which such Disrupted Day shall be the Expiration Date, (ii) determine the Settlement Price for such Disrupted Day based on eligible transactions in the Shares on such Disrupted Day taking into account the nature and duration of such Market Disruption Event and (iii) designate a Scheduled Trading Day determined in the manner described in the immediately preceding paragraph as the Valuation Date for the remaining Options for such Component. Notwithstanding any provision of the Equity Definitions to the contrary, any Exchange Business Day on which the Exchange is scheduled to close prior to its normal close of trading shall be deemed to be a Disrupted Day in part.

Dividend Amount: In respect of each Dividend Period, (i) for the first cash dividend per Share for which the ex-dividend date occurs within such Dividend Period, an amount in USD equal to such cash dividend per Share minus the Ordinary Dividend Amount or (ii) for any subsequent cash dividend per Share for which the ex-dividend date occurs within such Dividend Period, an amount in USD equal to such cash dividend per Share; provided that, in the case where no ex-dividend date for which a cash dividend on the Shares occurs during a Dividend Period, it shall be deemed that the last Exchange Business Day of such Dividend Period is an ex-dividend date in respect of a cash dividend on the Shares equal to zero.

Adjustments:

 

Potential Adjustment Events: If an event occurs that constitutes both a Potential Adjustment Event under Section 11.2(e)(ii)(C) of the Equity Definitions and a Spin-off as described below, it shall be treated hereunder as a Spin-off and not as a Potential Adjustment Event.
   
Method of Adjustment: Calculation Agent Adjustment
   
Spin-off: A distribution of New Shares (the “Spin-off Shares”) of a subsidiary of the Issuer (the “Spin-off Issuer”) to holders of the Shares (the “Original Shares”).. With respect to a Spin-off, “New Shares” shall have the meaning provided in Section 12.1(i) of the Equity Definitions (as amended below opposite “New Shares”) except that the phrase immediately preceding clause (i) thereof shall be replaced by the following: “‘New Shares’ means ordinary or common shares of the Spin-off Issuer that are, or that as of the effectiveness of the relevant Spin-off are scheduled promptly to be,”.
   
Consequences of Spin-offs: JPMorgan shall have the right to elect, by written notice to Counterparty, that Basket Adjustments or Separate Transactions Adjustments shall apply to any Spin-off.
   
Basket Adjustments: If JPMorgan shall have elected that Basket Adjustments apply to a Spin-off, then as of the ex-dividend date for such Spin-off, (i) “Shares” shall mean the Original Shares and the Spin-off Shares; (ii) the Transaction shall continue but as a Share Basket Option Transaction with a Number of Options and an Option Entitlement equal to the Number of Options and the Option Entitlement immediately prior to such Spin-off, and each Basket shall consist of one Original Share and the number of Spin-off Shares that a holder of one Original Share would have been entitled to receive in such Spin-off (and references to Shares herein shall be interpreted as references to Baskets, as the context requires); and (iii) the Calculation Agent shall make such adjustments to the exercise, settlement, payment or any other terms of the Transaction as the Calculation Agent determines appropriate to account for the economic effect

6 

 

  on the Transaction of such Spin-off (including adjustments to account for changes in volatility, expected dividends, stock loan rate or liquidity relevant to the Shares or to the Transaction), which may, but need not, be determined by reference to the adjustment(s) made in respect of such Spin-off by an options exchange to options on the Shares traded on such options exchange. As of the ex-dividend date of any subsequent Spin-off, the Calculation Agent shall make adjustments to the composition of the Basket and other terms of the Transaction in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.
   
Separate Transactions Adjustments: If JPMorgan shall have elected that Separate Transactions Adjustments apply to a Spin-off , as of the ex-dividend date for such Spin-off, then the Transaction shall be considered two separate Transactions, each with terms identical to those of the original Transaction (the “Original Transaction”), except that: (i) the “Shares” for the Original Transaction (the “Original Shares Transaction”) shall be the Original Shares and the “Shares’’ for the other transaction (the “Spin-off Shares Transaction”) shall be the Spin-off Shares; (ii) the Number of Options for each Component of the Original Shares Transaction shall remain unchanged from the Number of Options for such Component of the Original Transaction; (iii) the Number of Options for each Component of the Spin-off Shares Transaction shall equal the product of (A) the Number of Options for such Component of the Original Transaction (as in effect immediately prior to the ex-dividend date for such Spin-off) and (B) the number of Spin-off Shares that a holder of one share of Original Shares would have owned or been entitled to receive in connection with such Spin-Off; and (iv) the Calculation Agent shall make such adjustments to the exercise, settlement, payment or any other terms of each of the Original Shares Transaction and the Spin-Off Shares Transaction as the Calculation Agent determines appropriate to account for the economic effect on each of the Original Shares Transaction and the Spin-Off Shares Transaction of such Spin-off (including without limitation adjustments to account for changes in volatility, expected dividends, stock loan rate or liquidity relevant to the Original Shares, the Spin-off Shares, the Original Shares Transaction or to the Spin-off Shares Transaction). Following a Spin-off to which Separate Transactions Adjustments are applicable, this Confirmation shall apply in all respects (except as provided above) to both the Original Shares Transaction and the Spin-off Shares Transaction as if each were a separate Transaction under the Agreement. As of the ex-dividend date of any subsequent Spin-off, the Calculation Agent shall make adjustments to the terms of each of the Original Shares Transaction and the Spin-Off Shares Transaction in accordance with the second immediately preceding sentence.
