Although no new shares were pledged in connection with the 8/10/22 VPF Amendments, 150,296 shares that were previously pledged to JPMorgan are now pledged to Citibank in connection with the novation related to the Sixth Citi Supplemental Confirmation and Seventh Citi Supplemental Confirmation.

After the Purchase, the 8/10/22 VPF Amendments and the Pledge, QH Hungary remained the direct beneficial owner of a total of 3,992,377 Shares and Gulf Hungary remained the indirect beneficial owner of the same 3,992,377 Shares. Gulf Hungary continues to be the direct beneficial owner of a separate 37,186 Shares. All 3,992,377 Shares directly owned by QH Hungary remain subject to the Shareholder Agreement (as defined in the Original Schedule 13D) to which QH Hungary also became a party by executing a joinder thereto.

The (a) First RBC Supplemental Confirmation covering a maximum aggregate amount of 105,002 shares is divided into one tranche ("Tranche 1" (which was not amended on August 10, 2022)) of 50 components for 87,500 shares and a second tranche ("Tranche 2") of 50 components for 17,502 shares (each a "Component"), and (b) Third RBC Supplemental Confirmation covering a maximum aggregate amount of 8,580 shares is divided into 50 Components.

The number of Shares (or, at QH Hungary's option, the cash equivalent) to be delivered to the applicable bank on each Settlement Date is to be determined as follows: (a) if the volume-weighted average price per Share on the relevant valuation date, as reasonably determined by the applicable bank by reference to the Bloomberg Page "KWR <equity> AQR <Go>" (or any successor page thereto) (provided that, if such price is not so reported for any reason or is, in the applicable bank's reasonable discretion, erroneous, a price determined by the applicable bank in good faith and a commercially reasonable manner) (the "Settlement Price") is equal to or less than $184.2694 per Share (or, in the case of each Tranche 1, $239.4600 per Share) (the "Forward Floor Price"), QH Hungary will deliver to the applicable bank the Subject Number of Shares; (b) if the Settlement Price is between the Forward Floor Price and $202.6963 per Share (or, in the case of each Tranche 1, $258.6168 per Share) (the "Forward Cap Price"), QH Hungary will deliver to the applicable bank a number of Shares equal to the Subject Number multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Forward Floor Price and the denominator of which is the Settlement Price; and (c) if the Settlement Price is greater than the Forward Cap Price, QH Hungary will deliver to the applicable bank a number of Shares equal to the product of (i) the Subject Number and (ii) a fraction (A) the numerator of which is the sum of (x) the Forward Floor Price and (y) the Settlement Price minus the Forward Cap Price, and (B) the denominator of which is the Settlement Price.

MASTER TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR PREPAID VARIABLE
SHARE FORWARD TRANSACTIONS
BETWEEN JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AND QH HUNGARY HOLDINGS LIMITED
The purpose of this Master Terms and Conditions for Prepaid Variable Share Forward Transactions (including the Annex hereto, the “Master Confirmation”), dated as of August 27, 2020, is to set forth certain terms and conditions for one or more prepaid variable share forward transactions that QH Hungary Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company incorporated with limited liability (“Counterparty”) will enter into with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (“Dealer”) from time to time. Each such transaction (a “Transaction”) entered into between Dealer and Counterparty that is to be subject to this Master Confirmation shall be evidenced by a supplemental confirmation substantially in the form of Annex A hereto (a “Supplemental Confirmation”), with such modifications thereto as to which Counterparty and Dealer mutually agree. This Master Confirmation and a Supplemental Confirmation together shall constitute a “Confirmation” as referred to in the Agreement specified below.
1. 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. (“ISDA”), are incorporated into this Master Confirmation.
This Master Confirmation and a Supplemental Confirmation evidence a complete binding agreement between Dealer and Counterparty as to the terms of the Transaction to which this Master Confirmation and such Supplemental Confirmation relate. This Master Confirmation and each Supplemental Confirmation form a part of, and are subject to an agreement in the form of the ISDA 2002 Master Agreement, as published by ISDA, as if Dealer and Counterparty had executed that agreement on the date hereof (without any Schedule but with the modifications and elections set forth herein, the “Agreement”). All provisions contained in the Agreement govern this Master Confirmation and each Supplemental Confirmation except as expressly modified herein or in the related Supplemental Confirmation. For the avoidance of doubt, the Transactions under this Master Confirmation shall be the only transactions under the Agreement and shall not be subject to any other (existing or deemed) master agreement to which Dealer and Counterparty are parties.
THIS MASTER CONFIRMATION, each supplemental confirmation and the agreement WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO CHOICE OF LAW DOCTRINE. THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE UNITED STATES COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK IN CONNECTION WITH ALL MATTERS RELATING HERETO AND THERETO or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby AND WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE IN, AND ANY CLAIM OF INCONVENIENT FORUM WITH RESPECT TO, THESE COURTS. NOTHING IN THIS PROVISION SHALL PROHIBIT EITHER PARTY FROM BRINGING AN ACTION TO ENFORCE A MONEY JUDGMENT IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.
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.
Each party will make each payment specified in this Master Confirmation or a Supplemental Confirmation as being payable by such party, not later than the due date for value on that date in the place of the account specified below or otherwise specified in writing, in freely transferable funds and in a manner customary for payments in the required currency.
This Master Confirmation and the Agreement, together with the Supplemental Confirmation relating to a Transaction, shall constitute the written agreement between Counterparty and Dealer with respect to such Transaction.
2. Set forth below are the general terms and conditions related to the prepaid variable share forward transactions which, together with the terms and conditions set forth in the Supplemental Confirmation (in respect of the related Transaction), shall govern such Transaction.

The payments and deliveries to be made upon settlement of each Transaction will be determined separately for each Component as if each Component were a separate Transaction under the Agreement. | |

Valuation:
In respect of any Component:
Valuation Dates: | As set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation (or, if such date is not a Scheduled Trading Day, the next following Scheduled Trading Day that is not already a Valuation Date for another Component under any Transaction); provided that, if that date is a Disrupted Day, the Valuation Date for such Component shall be the first succeeding Scheduled Trading Day that is not a Disrupted Day and that is not or is not deemed to be a Valuation Date in respect of any other Component under any Transaction; provided, further, that, if the Valuation Date for any Component has not occurred pursuant to the preceding proviso as of the Final Disruption Date for such Transaction, the Final Disruption Date shall be the Valuation Date for such Component (irrespective of whether such day is a Valuation Date in respect of any other Component) and the Settlement Price for the Final Disruption Date shall be determined by the Calculation Agent in its good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary in the Equity Definitions, if a Market Disruption Event occurs on any Valuation Date, the Calculation Agent may determine that such Valuation Date is a Disrupted Day only in part, in which case (i) the Calculation Agent shall make adjustments to the Number of Shares for the relevant Component for which such day shall be the Valuation Date and shall designate the Scheduled Trading Day determined in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence as the Valuation Date for the remaining Shares for such Component, and (ii) the Settlement Price for such Disrupted Day shall be determined by the Calculation Agent based on transactions in the Shares on such Disrupted Day taking into account the nature and duration of such Market Disruption Event on such day. Such determination shall be based on, among other factors, the duration of any Market Disruption Event and the volume, historical trading patterns and price of the Shares. Any Scheduled Trading Day on which, as of the Trade Date, the Exchange is scheduled to close prior to its normal close of trading shall be deemed not to be a Scheduled Trading Day; if a closure of the Exchange prior to its normal close of trading on any Scheduled Trading Day is scheduled following the Trade Date, then such Scheduled Trading Day shall be deemed to be a Disrupted Day in full. Section 6.6 of the Equity Definitions shall not apply to any Valuation Date. | |
Final Disruption Date: | For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation. | |
Market Disruption Event: | The definition of “Market Disruption Event” in Section 6.3(a) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by replacing 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” with the words “at any time prior to the Scheduled Closing Time on any Scheduled Trading Day that otherwise would be a Valuation Date” and replacing the words “(iii) an Early Closure” with “(iii) an Early Closure that the Calculation Agent determines is material or (iv) a Regulatory Disruption.” | |
Section 6.3(d) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the remainder of the provision following the term “Scheduled Closing Time” in the fourth line thereof. | ||
Regulatory Disruption: | Any event that Dealer determines in its commercially reasonable judgement, based on the advice of counsel, that it is appropriate with regard to any legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements or related policies and procedures (whether or not such requirements, policies or procedures are imposed by law or have been voluntarily adopted by Dealer, and provided that any such adoption of policies or procedures have been adopted by Dealer in good faith and are generally applicable in similar situations and applied in a non-discriminatory manner), for Dealer to refrain from or decrease any market activity in connection with the relevant Transaction. Whenever a Regulatory Disruption occurs, Dealer shall notify Counterparty in writing of such occurrence as soon as reasonably practicable under the circumstances and of any Valuation Date(s) affected by it; provided that Dealer shall not be required to communicate to Counterparty the reason for Dealer’s exercise of its rights pursuant to this provision if Dealer reasonably determines in good faith that disclosing such reason may result in a violation of any legal, regulatory, or self-regulatory requirements or related policies and procedures (whether or not such requirements, policies or procedures are imposed by law or have been voluntarily adopted by Dealer). |
Settlement Terms:
In respect of any Component:
Settlement Method Election: | Applicable; provided that the same settlement method shall apply to each Component of a Transaction. | |
Electing Party: | Counterparty. |
Settlement Method
Election Date: | For each Transaction, the date that is ten Scheduled Trading Days before the first Scheduled Valuation Date of any Component of such Transaction. | |
Default Settlement Method: | Physical Settlement. |
Initial Cash
Settlement Payment: | If Cash Settlement is applicable to a Transaction, Counterparty shall pay Dealer the Initial Cash Settlement Amount on the Currency Business Day immediately preceding the first Scheduled Valuation Date. If Counterparty fails to make the foregoing payment or to pay any Forward Cash Settlement Amount when due, Dealer shall be entitled to elect Physical Settlement for the Transaction or one or more Components thereof notwithstanding Counterparty’s election. |
Initial Cash
Settlement Amount: | In respect of a Transaction to which Cash Settlement is applicable, an amount in USD equal to (a) the Number of Shares to be Delivered (determined without regard to rounding) multiplied by (b) the Settlement Price (where, only for the purposes of the Initial Cash Settlement Amount, the Settlement Price used for the calculation (including of the Number of Shares to be Delivered) shall equal the closing price of the Shares on the Exchange on the Exchange Business Day immediately preceding the date the Initial Cash Settlement Payment is due (or, if no such closing price is available on such day, such closing price shall be a price determined by the Calculation Agent). |
Forward Cash
Settlement Amount: | In respect of a Transaction to which Cash Settlement is applicable, an amount in USD (which may be positive or negative) equal to (a) the “Forward Cash Settlement Amount” as determined under Section 8.5 of the Equity Definitions minus (b)(1) the Initial Cash Settlement Amount divided by (2) the number of Components for such Transaction. |
3
In lieu of Section 8.4(b) of the Equity Definitions, if the Forward Cash Settlement Amount is a positive number, then Counterparty shall pay to Dealer the Forward Cash Settlement Amount on the relevant Cash Settlement Payment Date; and if the Forward Cash Settlement Amount is a negative number, then Dealer shall pay to Counterparty the absolute value of the Forward Cash Settlement Amount on the relevant Cash Settlement Payment Date. | ||
Settlement Currency: | USD (as defined in the 2006 ISDA Definitions). | |
Settlement Price: | The volume-weighted average price per Share on the relevant Valuation Date, as reasonably determined by the Calculation Agent by reference to the Bloomberg Page “KWR <equity> AQR <Go>” (or any successor page thereto); provided that, if such price is not so reported for any reason or is, in the Calculation Agent’s reasonable determination, manifestly erroneous, a price determined by the Calculation Agent in good faith and a commercially reasonable manner. | |
Settlement Date: | The date that is one Settlement Cycle immediately following the Valuation Date for such Component (or, if such date is not a Clearance System Business Day, the next following Clearance System Business Day). | |
Cash
Settlement Payment Date: |
The date that is one Settlement Cycle immediately following the Valuation Date for such Component (or, if such date is not a Currency Business Day, the immediately following Currency Business Day). | |
Excess Dividend Amount: | For the avoidance of doubt, all references to the Excess Dividend Amount shall be deleted from Section 8.4(b) and Section 9.2(a)(iii) of the Equity Definitions. |
Share Adjustments; Dividend Payments:
In respect of any Component:
Method of Adjustment: | Calculation Agent Adjustment; provided that the Equity Definitions shall be amended by replacing the words “diluting or concentrative” in Sections 11.2(a), 11.2(c) (in two instances) and 11.2(e)(vii) with the word “material” and by adding the words “or the Transactions” after the words “theoretical value of the relevant Shares” in Sections 11.2(a), 11.2(c) and 11.2(e)(vii); provided, further, that adjustments may be made to account for any withholding or deduction of taxes (without duplication of any withholding pursuant to the Security Agreement) and changes in volatility, expected dividends, stock loan rate and liquidity relative to the relevant Share or the Transaction. | |
Excess Cash Dividend: | Any Ordinary Cash Dividend to the extent the Gross Dividend Amount of such Ordinary Cash Dividend, together with any other Ordinary Cash Dividend with an ex-dividend date in the same calendar quarter, exceeds the applicable Contractual Dividend. | |
Ordinary Cash Dividend: | Any cash dividend or distribution that the Calculation Agent determines is an ordinary, quarterly cash dividend. | |
Contractual Dividend: | For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation (subject to adjustment by the Calculation Agent in its commercially reasonable judgement in accordance with Calculation Agent Adjustment to account for any Potential Adjustment Event or Extraordinary Extent and subject to adjustment by the Calculation Agent in its commercially reasonable judgement to account for any change to the timing and/or frequency of payment of the Issuer’s regular dividend). | |
Gross Dividend Amount: | With respect to an Ordinary Cash Dividend, an amount equal to the actual dividend or distribution per Share before withholding or deduction of taxes at the source by or on behalf of any applicable authority having power to tax in respect of such dividend and excluding any imputation or other credits, refunds or deductions granted by any applicable authority having power to tax in respect of such dividend or distribution and any taxes, credits, refunds or benefits imposed, withheld, assessed or levied thereon. | |
Dividend Payment: | Unless a Potential Event of Default with respect to Counterparty, an Event of Default with respect to Counterparty as the Defaulting Party or a Termination Event with respect to Counterparty as sole Affected Party has occurred and is continuing or an Early Termination Date has been designated, Dealer shall release to Counterparty any Ordinary Cash Dividends that are not Excess Cash Dividends, from the Collateral Account and after giving effect to the netting of Taxes (as defined in the Security Agreement) as described under Section 11 of the Security Agreement, on or prior to the first Currency Business Day following the date such Ordinary Cash Dividends were received by Counterparty or Custodian under Section 11 of the Security Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, such release shall be made without duplication of the release by Dealer described under Section 11 of the Security Agreement. | |
Cash Dividend Adjustments: | If at any time during the period from, but excluding, the Trade Date to, and including, the Valuation Date, an ex-dividend date for a cash dividend or distribution (excluding an Ordinary Cash Dividend that is not an Excess Cash Dividend) occurs with respect to the Shares, then the Calculation Agent will adjust one or more of the Forward Floor Price, the Forward Cap Price, the Number of Shares, or any other variable relevant to the valuation, settlement, payment or other terms of such Component, including requiring Counterparty to make a payment to Dealer, to reflect the impact of such cash dividend or distribution (for the avoidance of doubt, determined on a gross basis) on the theoretical value of such Component. |
Extraordinary Events:
New Shares: | In the definition of New Shares in Section 12.1(i) of the Equity Definitions, (i) the text in clause (i) thereof shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with “publicly quoted, traded or listed on any of the New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market or The NASDAQ Global Market (or their respective successors),” and (ii) the following phrase shall be inserted at the end thereof: “and (iii) in the case of a Merger Event, of an entity or person that is a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia”. |

For purposes of any Transaction, a Significant Transaction shall be an Extraordinary Event. | |
Announcement Date: | The definition of “Announcement Date” in Section 12.1(l) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by (i) adding the words “or a Significant Transaction” immediately following the words “Merger Event” in the second and third lines thereof, (ii) replacing the words “a firm” with the word “any” in the second and fourth lines thereof, (iii) replacing the word “leads to the” with the words “would, if consummated, lead to a” in the third and the fifth lines thereof, (iv) adding after the words “voting shares” in the fifth line thereof the words “, voting power or Shares”, (v) inserting the words “by any person or entity” after the word “announcement” in the second and the fourth lines thereof and (vi) inserting the words “, as determined by the Calculation Agent, or any subsequent public announcement of a change to such transaction or intention (including, without limitation, a new announcement, whether or not by the same party, relating to such a transaction or intention or the announcement of a withdrawal from, or the abandonment or discontinuance of, such a transaction or intention)” at the end of each of clauses (i) and (ii) thereof. | |
Consequences
of Announcement Event: |
With respect to any Announcement Event, the Calculation Agent shall determine the economic effect of such Announcement Event on the theoretical value of each Component of the Transaction (including without limitation any change in volatility, expected dividends, stock loan rate or liquidity relevant to the Shares or to the Transaction) (i) on or after the relevant Announcement Date and (ii) on the Valuation Date or any earlier date of termination or cancellation for such Component and if, in the case of clause (i) or (ii), such economic effect is material, the Calculation Agent (x) shall adjust the terms of such Component to reflect such economic effect on Dealer with respect to the Transaction and determine the effective date of such adjustment or (y) if the Calculation Agent determines, on or after the Announcement Date, that no adjustment it could make under clause (x) above is likely to produce a commercially reasonable result, shall notify the parties in writing that such Component of the Transaction will be terminated, in which case the amount payable upon such termination will be determined by Dealer pursuant to the terms of this Master Confirmation as if such Announcement Event were an Extraordinary Event to which Cancellation and Payment were applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, any such adjustment shall be without prejudice to the application of the provisions set forth in the preceding sentence, “Consequences of Merger Events” and/or “Consequences of Tender Offers” with respect to any other Announcement Date in respect of the same event or transaction, or, if the related Merger Date or Tender Offer Date occurs on or prior to the Valuation Date or earlier date of termination for such Component, with respect to the related Merger Event or Tender Offer; provided that any such adjustment shall be taken into account by the Calculation Agent or the Determining Party, as the case may be, in determining any subsequent adjustment to the terms of the Transaction, or in subsequently determining any Cancellation Amount or an Early Termination Amount, as the case may be, on account of any related Announcement Date, Merger Event or Tender Offer. |
