closing price of each Component Security on the Component Exchange for
such Component Security for the first succeeding Scheduled Trading Day
that is not a Disrupted Day in respect of such Component Security; and/or
5
(B) the impact of any corporate actions that occur after the scheduled final
Valuation Date but before the final Valuation Date and have not otherwise

the cost of funds of the party being repaid).

disrupted and is postponed in accordance with the terms hereof or the
Equity Definitions, or a Settlement Disruption Event occurs in respect of
any Component Underlier during the period between the Trade Date and the

in part, and will not be deemed to have agreed to a Trade Request unless it affirmatively notifies Counterparty or is
deemed to have accepted such Trade Request under the terms of this GMCA or the applicable GTS. Not later than
9:00 a.m. (local time in JPMorgan’s Location) on the Business Day immediately following the relevant Trade
Acceptance Date, JPMorgan shall transfer or otherwise make available to Counterparty one or more electronic files
or reports that include the terms applicable to the relevant Trade (such files or reports, which may relate to more
than one Trade, a “Trading Statement”) through an electronic transmission system (including but not limited to
secure FTP) agreed by the parties from time to time, JPMorgan’s web-based electronic information platform or such
other electronic trading or information system as may be agreed by the parties from time to time. Trading Statements
may include separate statements of terms applicable to Transactions generally or to Transactions relating to a given
currency or Region, whether furnished previously or contemporaneously with the remainder of the Trading
Statement. Any such separate statement, if furnished, will apply to all outstanding Transactions (or Transactions
relating to the given currency or Region) regardless of whether entered into before or after the date of such separate
statement. Such separate statements of terms may include, but shall not belimited to, any portfolio swap preference
report (howsoever described) furnished by JPMorgan to Counterparty and setting forth trading and operational
preferences agreed by the parties from time to time or any schedules of feesand commissions agreed by the parties
16
from time to time setting out such fees and commissions as may be included inthe calculation of the Initial Price
and the Final Price.
Counterparty shall be deemed to have agreed that the terms set forth in suchTrading Statement accurately evidence
the terms agreed by the parties with respect to the relevant Trade unless Counterparty has objected in writing
(including by an electronic messaging protocol or email) to JPMorgan prior to 7:00 p.m. (local time in
Counterparty’s Location) on the Dual Business Day immediately followingthe Trade Acceptance Date with respect
to any term included in or omitted from the Trading Statement. Following Counterparty’s delivery of any such
objection to JPMorgan, the parties shall work together in good faith to resolve the terms identified by Counterparty
as promptly as practicable. For the avoidance of doubt, if Counterparty provides JPMorgan with an end-of-day trade
or allocation file containing Counterparty’s details of each Trade Request, JPMorgan will review such file and
promptly notify Counterparty of any disagreement or discrepancy with JPMorgan’s details of such Trade Request(s),
in which case the parties shall work together in good faith to resolve such disagreement or discrepancy as promptly
as practicable.
IfJPMorganandCounterpartyagreetoenterintoaTransactionwiththesame Underlier as an existing Transaction
but for which the Equity Amount Payer is not the same party, the parties agreethattheirentryintosuchsecond
Transaction may be deemed to effect an Optional Early Termination of both Transactions; provided
that to the
extent that the Transactions have an unequal Number of Underliers, the parties’ entry into the second Transaction
shall be deemed to effect an Optional Early Termination of both Transactions only with respect to the Number of
Underliers in the smaller of the two Transactions, in either case with the Trade Date of the second Transaction being
the Acceleration Date in respect of the Terminated Portion.
For purposes of the foregoing:
“Dual Business Day”meansadaywhichisaBusinessDayintheLocationofbothJPMorganandCounterparty.
“Location” means the location (i) where Counterparty makes the Trade Request, as notified to JPMorgan from time
to time, and (ii) where JPMorgan makes the Trade Acceptance.
“Trade” means (i) entering into a new Transaction; (ii) terminating an existing Transaction (in whole or in part) via
Optional Early Termination; or (iii) otherwise modifying the terms of an existing Transaction (including a Basket
Modification or an Increase).
“Trade Acceptance” means that JPMorgan accepts a Trade Request.
“Trade Acceptance Date” with respect to a Trade means the Exchange Business Day on which the Trade
Acceptance occurs. However, for purposes of applicable confirmation timeliness rules, the Trade Acceptance Date
will be the next day that is a Dual Business Day if the Trade Acceptance occurs (x) after 4:00 p.m. local time on
such Exchange Business Day in the Location of either party or (y) on a day that is not a Dual Business Day. If, due
to time zones, the Trade Acceptance Date is a different calendar day in the Locations of JPMorgan and Counterparty,
any obligation of a party tied to the Trade Acceptance Date will be measuredfrom the calendar day in that party’s
Location. For the avoidance of doubt, as a result of the application of the foregoing, the Trade Acceptance Date may
be deemed to occur on a date that is different from the Trade Date.
“Trade Request” means that the Counterparty requests a Trade in the manner contemplated bythisGMCA,the
applicable GTS or JPMorgan’s then-current operational requirements provided to Counterparty from time to time.
(b) Increase(s) to an Existing Transaction
. The parties may agree from time to time that Trade
Requests which, if accepted by JPMorgan, would have the effect of increasing the size of a pre-existing Transaction
in respect of any Share or Index will be treated as a request to increase the size of such Transaction rather than to
enter into a new Transaction (an “Increase”). The procedure and timing for request, approval, entry into and
confirmation of an Increase will be the same as for entry into a new Transaction and the related Trading Statement
provided by JPMorgan will contain the terms applicable to such Increase and will indicate “Increase” in the
“Activity” field thereof. The terms of the original Transaction will remain unchanged except with respect to the
17
increased Number of Underliers, the Equity Notional Amount and the Notional Amount, which will be effective
from and after the date specified in the Transaction Supplement as the Effective Date. The Calculation Agent will
make any necessary adjustments to the Transaction to account for the Increase (including, without limitation, any
adjustments required to Floating Amounts to account for the increase in Notional Amount).
(c) Optional Early Termination
. Either party (the “Terminating Party”) may accelerate the valuation
of a Transaction in whole or in part (an “Optional Early Termination”) on any Scheduled Trading Day prior to the
final Valuation Date by providing to the other party an irrevocable noticeor instruction (an “Optional Early
Termination Notice”) specifying (i) the portion of such Transaction being accelerated (the “Terminated Portion”)
and (ii) the accelerated valuation date, which may be the date such Optional Early Termination Notice is delivered
(the “Acceleration Date”); provided
that if Counterparty is the Terminating Party, JPMorgan may postpone the
Acceleration Date to such other date(s) JPMorgan deems appropriate if JPMorgandeterminesingoodfaithandina
commercially reasonable manner, taking into account relevant market conditions, time zone differences and such
other factors as JPMorgan considers relevant, that it would be impracticable or inadvisable to unwind the
Terminated Portion, in whole or in part, on such proposed Acceleration Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i)
Optional Early Termination will not apply to any Transaction in respect ofwhich the parties have so agreed in the
related Transaction Supplement; (ii) a party shall not have the right to specify an Optional Early Termination if (x)
there is an ongoing Event of Default or Termination Event affecting all Transactions and (y) the Terminating Party
is the Defaulting Party or the sole Affected Party, as applicable; (iii) noOptional Early Termination in respect of
which Counterparty is the Terminating Party shall be effective unless JPMorgan acknowledges receipt of the related
Optional Early Termination Notice; and (iv) each Optional Early Termination will be subject to the provisions of
this GMCA and the Equity Definitions with respect to Market Disruption Events, Potential Adjustment Events,
Extraordinary Events and FX Disruptions.
Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, in connection with an Optional Early Termination the Calculation Agent
shall determine the Equity Amount, Floating Amount and Dividend Amount, if any, in respect of the Terminated
Portion in accordance with the terms of such Transaction (or, in the case ofthe Equity Amount, in such manner and
pursuant to such methodology as may otherwise be agreed by the parties in respect of such Optional Early
Termination) but on the basis that the Acceleration Date is deemed to be thefinal Valuation Date and with such
adjustments as may be necessary to preserve the original economic intent of the Transaction. If Counterparty is the
Terminating Party, the Calculation Agent may adjust the Floating Amount to account for any break funding costs of
the Hedging Party (as determined by the Hedging Party in a commercially reasonable manner). The Calculation
Agent will promptly notify the parties of any amounts payable in connectionwithanOptionalEarlyTermination
(and, to the extent agreed by the parties, any accrued interest on such amounts at a per
annumrate determined by the
Calculation Agent) which amounts shall be paid by the relevant party on theapplicable date or dates determined in
accordance with the related Transaction Supplement.
Each Optional Early Termination shall be evidenced by a Trading Statementconfirmed in the manner described in
Section 9(a) above. In the case of an Optional Early Termination of a portion of a Transaction, the Terminated
Portion shall be terminated and the remaining portion of such Transactionshall continue in full force and effect, and
the Calculation Agent shall make corresponding adjustments to the terms of the Transaction to reflect such partial
termination.
In addition to the foregoing, if Counterparty is the Terminating Party in respect of a Transaction that forms part of a
group of two or more Transactions with respect to which each Transaction therein is part of a single trading strategy
as of the Trade Date thereof (such group of Transactions, a “Linked Strategy”), JPMorgan may adjust the
Independent Amount Percentage for any remaining Transaction(s) in the LinkedStrategy,andsuchnew
Independent Amount Percentage for any such remaining Transaction(s) shall be as specified in a Trading Statement
confirmed in the manner described in Section 9(a) above.
(d) Automatic Reconfirmation of Expiring Transactions
. Upon the occurrence of the final Valuation
Date (the “Original Final Valuation Date”) of a Transaction (an “Expiring Transaction”), the parties shall be
deemed to agree to the entry into a new Transaction (the “Reconfirmed Transaction”) in accordance with the terms
of this Section 9(d) unless (x) the parties have agreed on or prior to the Original Final Valuation Date that a
Reconfirmed Transaction shall not be entered into in respect of such Expiring Transaction or (y) the parties have
agreed that the provisions of Section 9(c) relating to Optional Early Termination will not apply to the Expiring
18
Transaction. With respect to the Expiring Transaction and the Reconfirmed Transaction: (i) the tenor of the
Reconfirmed Transaction shall be equal to the tenor of the Expiring Transaction; (ii) the Final Price for the Expiring
Transaction will be determined in the same manner as an Interim Price; (iii) the Initial Price of the Reconfirmed
Transaction will be equal to the Final Price for the Expiring Transaction;(iv) the applicable payments in respect of
settlement of the Expiring Transaction shall be made on the relevant payment dates in respect thereof; and (v) all
other relevant terms of the Reconfirmed Transaction shall be equivalent to the terms applicable to the Expiring
Transaction, as determined by the Calculation Agent. The agreement to enter into the Reconfirmed Transaction shall
be considered a Trade Request and a Trade Acceptance, and the Reconfirmed Transaction shall be confirmed in the
manner provided in Section 9(a) above.
10. Miscellaneous
.
(a) Entire Agreement
. This GMCA, as supplemented by any applicable GTS and any Transaction
Supplement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to its subject matter and
supersedes all oral communication and prior writings with respect specifically thereto. If a Trading Statement uses a
different field name or value to represent a defined term or value thereforset forth in this GMCA or a GTS, the
Calculation Agent shall reconcile such field name to the corresponding defined term or value used in such document.
In addition, a Trading Statement may specify additional fields or information not required under the terms of this
GMCA, a GTS or the Definitions and, in such case, any such additional fieldsor information shall have no effect or
meaning for purposes of the relevant Trade or the related Transaction Supplement. Upon reasonable request,
JPMorgan will provide Counterparty with technical guidance indicating how certain defined terms or values therefor
used herein are reflected in a Trading Statement.
(b) Amendments
. An amendment, modification or waiver in respect of this GMCA, any GTS or any
Transaction Supplement that is not confirmed by means of a Trading Statement will only be effective if in writing
(including a writing evidenced by a facsimile transmission) and executedby each of the parties or confirmed by an
exchange of telexes or by an exchange of electronic messages on an electronic messaging system. For any
Transaction Supplement that is confirmed by means of a Trading Statement,the parties may mutually agree (orally,
by telephone, by an agreed electronic means or otherwise) to amend any previously agreed term of such Transaction
Supplement and evidence such amended term(s) in a Trading Statement delivered or made available to Counterparty
and confirmed in the manner described in Section 9(a) above, which TradingStatement, and the amendment(s)
evidenced thereby, shall be conclusive as to the amended term(s) of the relevant Transaction absent manifest error.
(c) Counterparts; Headings; Field Names
. This GMCA may be executed in counterparts, each of
which will be deemed an original. The headings used in this GMCA are for convenience of reference only and shall
not affect the construction of or be taken into consideration in interpreting this GMCA. Reference to specific field
names or rule names in Transaction Supplements reflect those in effect on the date hereto. JPMorgan may change
any such field name or rule name, or the manner in which data is presented therein, at any time and from time to
time upon notice to Counterparty. In the event of any such modification, the Calculation Agent will adjust the terms
hereof to retain the original intent of the parties.
(d) Office
. For purposes of Section 10 of the Master Agreement, JPMorgan’s Office forTransactions
governed by this GMCA shall be as specified in the related Transaction Supplement or as otherwise notified by
JPMorgan to Counterparty in writing. The following applies where JPMorgan’s Office is London: “JPMorgan Chase
Bank, N.A. at its London Branch is a bank authorized and subject to supervision and regulation by the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency, and is also supervised and regulated with respect to certain matters by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System, each in the jurisdiction of the United States of America. Authorized by
the Prudential Regulation Authority. Subject to regulation by the Financial Conduct Authority and limited regulation
by the Prudential Regulation Authority. Details about the extent of our regulation by the Prudential Regulation
Authority are available from us on request. (Firm Reference Number: 124491).”
(e) Swap Data Repository
. If any Transaction is a “swap” as defined in the Commodity Exchange
Act, as amended (the “CEA”), and JPMorgan is the reporting party under applicable U.S. law for such Transaction,
DTCC Data Repository (U.S.) LLC (or a successor thereto) will be the “swap data repository” as defined in the CEA
in respect of such Transaction.
19
(f) Scope of Agreement
. This GMCA shall govern all transactions between the parties, whether
entered into before, on or after the date of this GMCA, that fall within any of the categories of transactions covered
by any applicable GTS (each, a “Covered Transaction Type”) unless the parties have expressly agreed otherwise
in writing in connection with the relevant transaction. Each such transaction that is of a Covered Transaction Type
will constitute a Transaction if the parties are legally bound by an agreement (oral or other) on its terms under the
principles stated in this GMCA, regardless of whether this GMCA is referred to in a document or other evidence
confirming any of the terms of that Transaction (each such transaction, a “Covered Transaction”). Promptly
following the date hereof JPMorgan will deliver or make available to Counterparty in the manner described in
Section 9(a) above one or more Trading Statements in respect of each Covered Transaction to be confirmed in the
manner described in Section 9(a). Each confirmed Transaction Supplementin respect of a Covered Transaction
(together with the terms of this GMCA and the applicable GTS) will supersede and replace in all respects the
original confirmation relating to each such Covered Transaction and the terms of each such Covered Transaction
will be amended and restated thereby.
(g) Role of Agent
. Each party agrees and acknowledges that JPMorgan will be represented foreach
Transaction by one of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities (Asia Pacific) Limited, J.P. Morgan
Securities plc, J.P. Morgan Securities Japan Co., Ltd. or such other Affiliate of JPMorgan acting as agent for
JPMorgan (each, an “Agent”), as determined by JPMorgan. Any Transaction entered into under this GMCAthat
refers to JPMorgan shall be deemed to be entered into with JPMorgan acting through the Agent for such Transaction.
The name of the Agent for each Transaction is available upon request. Each party agrees and acknowledges that the
Agent has acted solely as agent and not as principal with respect to any Transaction documented pursuant to this
GMCA, and the Agent has no obligation or liability, by way of guarantee, endorsement or otherwise, in any manner
in respect of any Transaction documented pursuant to this GMCA (including, without limitation, 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 any Transaction documented pursuant to this GMCA.

price per Share based on transactions executed in the country in which the
Exchange is located during the regular trading session for the Exchange on
such Exchange Business Day, as determined by the Calculation Agent using
the Bloomberg function “<equity> AQR” (or any successor thereto as

for any reason or is manifestly erroneous, as determined by the Calculation
Agent using other commercially reasonable means.
Averaging:If (a) the Exchange is located in the NA Region and/or (b) the parties
otherwise agree to a specified number of Averaging Dates, Applicable;
otherwise, Not Applicable.
Averaging Dates:If the Exchange is located in the NA Region and the partieshave not agreed
to a specified number of Averaging Dates, there shall be one Averaging
Date in respect of the final Valuation Date if the Number of Shares is less
than or equal to the ADTV Limit.
If the parties have agreed to a specified number of Averaging Dates, each
day specified as such in the related Transaction Supplement shall be an
Averaging Date.
If the Number of Shares (or, if the parties have agreed to a specified number
of Averaging Dates, the Number of Shares divided by the number of
agreed-upon Averaging Dates (the “Per-Day Number of Shares”)) is
SSS GTS –

greater than the ADTV Limit on any Averaging Date, then JPMorgan may
determine the number of Averaging Date(s) in respect of the final Valuation
Date; provided
that the number of Averaging Dates shall not be greater than
the quotient (rounded up to the nearest whole number) of the Number of
Shares divided
bythe ADTV Limit. The first Averaging Date in respect of
the final Valuation Date shall occur on the final Valuation Date, with the
remaining number of Averaging Dates, if any, occurring thereafter, one on
each succeeding Scheduled Trading Day.
ADTV Limit:20% of the average daily composite trading volume reported forthe Shares

such average daily trading volume is not so reported for any reason or is
manifestly erroneous, as determined by the Calculation Agent using other
commercially reasonable means.

on any Averaging Date, the Calculation Agent may take either or both of
the following actions: (a) postpone the scheduled final Averaging Date in
accordance with Modified Postponement and/or (b) determine that such
Averaging Date is a Disrupted Day only in part, in which case the
Calculation Agent shall (i) determine the VWAP 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,
(ii) designate an additional Averaging Date to occur after the last scheduled
Averaging Date and (iii) determine the Gross Price in respect of the final
Valuation Date based on an appropriately weighted average instead of the
arithmetic mean described under “Gross Price” above.
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.
Provisions Relating to HBD Price:

,however, that if the ex-dividend date
for the relevant dividend has occurred but the related Dividend Distribution
Date would occur after the Termination Date, the Dividend Payment Date

that the Calculation Agent shall exclude any such dividend or distribution
(or a portion thereof) from calculation of the Individual Dividend Amountif
the Index has taken into account such dividend or distribution (or a portion
thereof), whether through a change in the composition of the Index and/or

occur in the next Dividend Period (or after the Termination Date), the Ex
Amount, as adjusted by the Calculation Agent by reference to relevant
public announcements by the Issuer and/or other information sources or
market data deemed reliable by the Calculation Agent; otherwise, the Paid
Amount.
Non-Cash Dividend Value:In respect of any Component Security, an amount per unit of such
Component Security equal to the gross cash value of any non-cash dividend
or distribution (“Distribution Property”) that a Hypothetical Broker

JPMorgan is the Equity Amount Payer) or if it were to buy, or maintain
short Applicable Hedge Positions in, the relevant Distribution Property(if
Counterparty is the Equity Amount Payer) on the relevant date of
distribution. If such cash value is commercially impracticable to realize, the
cash value of the Distribution Property shall be determined by the

Index.
Non-Publication and Correction:The Calculation Agent shall determine the Number of Component Security
or the Official Index Divisor if the Index Sponsor does not publish such
information for whatever reason including, without limitation, the factthat
it has not published such information per its ordinary practice or has failed

Publication”), and in making any such determination the Calculation Agent
may take into account the formula for and method of calculating the
Number of Component Security or the Official Index Divisor, if any, last in
effect prior to such Non-Publication and any publicly available information
concerning the Index that the Calculation Agent determines is relevant.
Without limiting the generality of Section 11.4 of the Equity Definitions,in
the event that an Official Index Divisor or the Number of Component
Security utilized for any calculation or determination under a Transaction is
subsequently corrected (or, where there has been a Non-Publication,
subsequently published by the Index Sponsor) and published by the Index
Sponsor within five Scheduled Trading Days after the original publication
(or the date of the Calculation Agent’s determination in the case of a Non-
Publication), either party may notify the other party of that correction
and/or subsequent publication and the Calculation Agent will adjust the
Individual Dividend Amount as appropriate to take into account such
correction and/or subsequent publication.

. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Equity
Definitions, if “Component Security Exchanges” are deemed to be the Exchange(s) for any Transaction herein or

Scheduled Trading Day:Any day on which the Index Sponsor is scheduled to publish the level of
the Index.
Exchange Business Day:Any Scheduled Trading Day on which the Index Sponsor publishes the
level of the Index.

price of each Component Security on the Component Exchange for such
Component Security on such Valuation Date, subject to Consequences of
Disrupted Days below, and (b) the published rules of the Index.
Consequences of
Disrupted Days:(a) If any Interim Valuation Date is a Disrupted Day, the Final Price in
respect of such Interim Valuation Date shall be the Gross Price on the
immediately preceding Exchange Business Day; and
(b) if the final Valuation Date is a Disrupted Day, (i) the final
Valuation Date shall be postponed to the Exchange Business Day that the
Calculation Agent determines would be the day that a Hypothetical Broker
Dealer would have terminated or liquidated the Applicable Hedge Positions
for all Component Securities and (ii) the Calculation Agent shall determine
the Gross Price in respect of such postponed Valuation Date by calculating
a hypothetical closing level of the Index for such date using the values for
each Component Security not affected by the occurrence of such Disrupted
Day determined as of the scheduled final Valuation Date and the values for
each Component Security affected by the occurrence of such Disrupted Day
(each, an “Affected Component Security”) determined as of the Exchange
Business Day that the Calculation Agent determines would be the day that a
Hypothetical Broker Dealer would have terminated or liquidated the
Applicable Hedge Positions for such Affected Component Security. In
making such determination, the Calculation Agent shall take into account(x)
the formula for and method of calculating the number and value of such
Affected Component Security or the Official Index Divisor last in effect
priortothefirstDisruptedDayinrespectofsuchAffectedComponent
Security (or, if such calculation or publication has not been previously made
by the Index Sponsor, based on any publicly available information
concerning the Index that the Calculation Agent determines is relevant);(y)

2. Basket Modification
. Counterparty may make an irrevocable request (a “Basket Modification Request”)
to JPMorgan by (x) an agreed electronic messaging protocol other than FIX or (y) e-mail to modify the composition
of the Basket for a Transaction (a “Basket Modification”) by identifying the relevant Transaction to be modified
(the “Modified Transaction”) and specifying the manner in which the composition of the Basket for the Modified
Transaction is requested to be modified and any other terms relevant to such Basket Modification. The procedure
and timing for request, approval, entry into and confirmation of a Basket Modification will be the same as for entry
into a new Transaction (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that unless such Basket Modification
Request is accepted by JPMorgan, the Modified Transaction shall not be modified or otherwise affected, and such
Basket Modification Request shall have no effect on any Transaction) and,in addition, the last paragraph of Section
9(c) of the GMCA shall apply to any Basket Modification Request as if such Basket Modification Request were an
Optional Early Termination Notice delivered by Counterparty. The Calculation Agent shall adjust the terms of the
Transaction as necessary to reflect the impact of the Basket Modification. The Basket Modification shall be
evidenced by a Trading Statement, and it is understood that JPMorgan may assign (i) a new transaction identifier in
respect of such Modified Transaction and/or (ii) a new Basket Ticker in respect of the Basket for the Modified
Transaction. If a Basket Modification results in a net decrease in the Equity Notional Amount for the Modified
Transaction, then one party shall make a payment to the other party based onthat decrease. For the avoidance of
doubt, a request by Counterparty to reduce the Basket by a whole Number of Baskets or to decrease the Equity
Notional Amount without any change to the Basket Divisor or the relative composition of the Share
i
included in the
Basket shall be treated as an Optional Early Termination Notice and shall be subject to Section 9(c) of the GMCA.
3. Non-dissemination of Basket Ticker
. Any Basket Ticker in respect of the Basket that is transmitted, and
the level in respect of the Basket that is published under the Basket Tickeron the Bloomberg Page (or any successor
page thereto) specified in the related Transaction Supplement, is intended only for the person or entity to which it is
addressed and contains confidential and/or privileged material. Counterparty covenants to JPMorgan not to
reproduce, distribute or disseminate, and to procure its agents, serviceproviders and advisers to not reproduce,
distribute or disseminate, the Basket Ticker or the level in respect of theBasket other than in accordance with
JPMorgan’s Terms of Business for Professional Clients (for which purpose, for the avoidance of doubt, such level
constitutes “JPM Data”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in theMaster Agreement, if Counterparty
breaches this covenant, it shall constitute an Additional Termination Event under the Master Agreement for which
Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party and the Transaction(s) related to such breach shall be the sole Affected
Transaction(s).
