determines is commercially reasonable. All relevant
terms of the Definitions (including the definitions of
"Merger Date" and "Tender Offer Date" in the Equity

Amendments to Transaction upon Scheme
becoming effective:
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Confirmation
to the contrary, if the Scheme becomes effective, then on
the Tatts Shares Suspension Date the Counterparty must
pay to Party A an amount equal to the Scheme
Effectiveness Collateralising Payment.
"Merger
Implementation Deed" means the merger
implementation deed dated 18 October 2016 between

Tabcorp Holdings Limited and Tatts Group Limited, as

amended, restated, novated, supplemented, modified or varied.

"Scheme" has the meaning given to it under the Merger Implementation Deed.

"Scheme Effectiveness Collateralising Payment" means:

  • the Floating Rate Notional Amount immediately $(i)$ prior to the Tatts Shares Suspension Date; minus
  • (ii) an amount determined by Party A,

as reduced in accordance with the provisions relating to Cash Consideration below.

"Tatts Shares Suspension Date" means the first day after the Scheme becomes effective on which the Shares (being, for the avoidance of doubt, the Shares under the Original Transaction (as defined below)) are suspended from trading by the Exchange.

Without limiting the obligation of Counterparty to pay the Scheme Effectiveness Collateralising Payment, with effect on and from the Tatts Shares Suspension Date and subject to Party A being satisfied that the Amended Transaction (as defined below) will not cause Party A to breach any applicable law, regulation or rule or requirement of any governing body, this Transaction (the "Original Transaction") will automatically be amended, without requiring any further action to be taken by any of the parties, to a Transaction (such amended Transaction, the "Amended Transaction") with the same terms and conditions as the terms and conditions of the Original Transaction except that:

  • (A) the "Company" or "Issuer" under the Amended Transaction will be Tabcorp Holdings Limited;
  • (B) the "Shares" under the Amended Transaction will be the ordinary shares of Tabcorp Holdings Limited (Bloomberg code: TAH AU);
  • (C) the provisions of the Original Transaction under (Acknowledgements) paragraph $(e)$ under "Additional Provisions" of this Confirmation will be taken to be deleted; and
  • (D) the Calculation Agent may, without the consent of the Counterparty, make such other modifications to the Original Transaction as it determines are necessary or appropriate:
  • (1) to take into account the payment of the Scheme Effectiveness Collateralising Payment by the Counterparty to Party A;
  • (2) to give effect to any of the matters under paragraph (A), (B) or (C) above; and/or

(3) to preserve the economic effects of the Original Transaction under the terms of the Amended Transaction.

To the extent that UBS determines that a Hypothetical Broker Dealer would have received any Cash Consideration on or prior to the Tatts Shares Suspension Date, the amount of the Scheme Effectiveness Collateralising Payment will be reduced by the amount of such Cash Consideration that UBS determines that a Hypothetical Broker Dealer would have received. For the avoidance of doubt, Party A will not be required to make any payment to the Counterparty for, or relating to, the amount of such Cash Consideration that UBS determines that a Hypothetical Broker Dealer would have received.

To the extent that UBS determines that a Hypothetical Broker Dealer would have received any Cash Consideration after the Tatts Shares Suspension Date (each such day of receipt, a "Cash Consideration Receipt Date"), UBS agrees that on the third Business Day following a Cash Consideration Receipt Date UBS will pay to the Counterparty an amount equal to the amount of the Cash Consideration received on that Cash Consideration Receipt Date.

"Cash Consideration" means the cash consideration provided by Tabcorp Holdings Limited to each holder of Shares for the transfer to Tabcorp Holdings Limited of each Share pursuant to the Scheme (as defined in the Merger Implementation Deed) plus the amount of any Tatts Special Dividend (as defined in the Merger Implementation Deed).

  • (A) Party B provides such Party B Voting Instructions to Party A at least 7 days prior to the date on which Party A is required to act in accordance with such Party B Voting Instructions; and
  • $(B)$ acting upon such Party B Voting Instructions does not cause Party A to breach any applicable law, regulation or rule or requirement of any governing body or would give rise (in the reasonable opinion of Party A) to a material risk that by so acting will cause reputational harm to Party A;
  • $(iii)$ Party A agrees that, within 5 Business Days of Party A receiving any Party B Voting Instructions, Party A will use reasonable endeavours to inform Party B of the number of Shares held as part of Party A's Hedge Positions (if any) in connection with the Transaction at that time: and

however, Party A gives no representation, warranty or other assurance, and cannot guarantee, that it or its nominated affiliate will hold any Shares as part of its Hedge Positions in connection with the Transaction.

Party B agrees that it will not provide Party B Voting Instructions to Party A in relation to any Voting Event if the provisions of any agreement or the requirements of any Listing Rule, the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) or any other applicable law or ASIC Regulatory Guide or Takeovers Panel Guidance provide that:

  • any votes cast by Party B (if it were the holder of the Shares) in respect of that $(1)$ Voting Event would be disregarded:
  • $(2)$ no votes may be cast in favour of the Voting Event by Party B (if it were the holder of the Shares); or

If the parties are unable to agree on a Substitute Calculation Agent, each party shall select an independent leading dealer and such independent leading dealers shall agree on an independent third party within two Business Day of the event that requires Calculation Agent determination. Unless there is a clear error, the calculations and determinations of the Substitute Calculation Agent are binding and conclusive. The fees and expenses of using the Substitute Calculation Agent, if any, shall be paid by Party A. All determinations made by the Calculation Agent hereunder shall, in the absence of manifest error, wilful default or bad faith, be final and conclusive, and the Calculation Agent shall have no liability to the Counterparty or any third party in relation to such determinations.
