 Definitive Receipts shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A annexed to this Deposit Agreement, in each case with appropriate insertions, modifications and omissions, as hereinafter
provided and shall be engraved or otherwise prepared so as to comply with applicable rules of the New York Stock Exchange Inc. 

Receipts shall be executed by the Depositary by the manual signature of a duly authorized officer of the Depositary; provided, that such
signature may be a facsimile if a Registrar for the Receipts (other than the Depositary) shall have been appointed and such Receipts are countersigned by a duly authorized officer of the Registrar. No Receipt shall be entitled to any benefits under
this Deposit Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless it shall have been executed manually by a duly authorized officer of the Depositary or, if a Registrar for the Receipts (other than the Depositary) shall have been appointed, by
manual or facsimile signature of a duly authorized officer of the Depositary and countersigned by a duly authorized officer of such Registrar. The Depositary shall record on its books each Receipt so signed and delivered as hereinafter provided.

 Receipts shall be in denominations of any number of whole Depositary Shares. All receipts shall be dated the date of their
issuance. 

  
 3 








 Receipts may be endorsed with or have incorporated in the text thereof such legends or
recitals or changes not inconsistent with the provisions of this Deposit Agreement all as may be required by the Depositary and approved by the Corporation or required to comply with any applicable law or any regulation thereunder or with the rules
and regulations of any securities exchange upon which the Stock, the Depositary Shares or the Receipts may be listed or to conform with any usage with respect thereto, or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which any particular
Receipts are subject. 
 Title to Depositary Shares evidenced by a Receipt which is properly endorsed or accompanied by a
properly executed instrument of transfer, shall be transferable by delivery with the same effect as in the case of a negotiable instrument; provided, however, that until transfer of any particular Receipt shall be registered on the books of the
Depositary as provided in Section 2.3, the Depositary may, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, treat the record holder thereof at such time as the absolute owner thereof for the purpose of determining the person entitled to
distributions of dividends or other distributions or to any notice provided for in this Deposit Agreement and for all other purposes. 
  

	 	Section 2.2.	Deposit of Stock; Execution and Delivery of Receipts in Respect Thereof. 

 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, the Corporation may from time to time deposit shares of the Stock under this Deposit Agreement by delivery to the Depositary of (i) a
certificate or certificates for the Stock to be deposited, properly endorsed or accompanied, if required by the Depositary, by a duly executed instrument of transfer or endorsement or (ii) an instruction letter from the Corporation authorizing
the Depositary to register such shares of the Stock in book-entry form, each in form satisfactory to the Depositary, together with all such certifications as may be required by the Depositary in accordance with the provisions of this Deposit
Agreement and all other information required to be set forth, and together with a written order of the Corporation directing the Depositary to execute and deliver to, or upon the written order of, the person or persons stated in such order a Receipt
or Receipts evidencing in the aggregate the number of Depositary Shares representing such deposited Stock. 
 Deposited Stock
shall be held by the Depositary at the Depositary’s Office or at such other place or places as the Depositary shall determine. The Depositary shall not lend any Stock deposited hereunder. 

Upon receipt by the Depositary of (i) a certificate or certificates for Stock deposited in accordance with the provisions of this
Section or (ii) an instruction letter from the Corporation in accordance with the provisions of this Section, together with the other documents required as above specified, and upon recordation of the Stock on the books of the Corporation (or
its duly appointed transfer agent) in the name of the Depositary or its nominee, the Depositary, subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, shall execute and deliver to or upon the order of the person or persons named in the
written order delivered to the Depositary referred to in the first paragraph of this Section, a Receipt or Receipts evidencing in the aggregate the number of Depositary Shares representing the Stock so deposited and registered in such name or names
as may be requested by such person or persons. The Depositary shall execute and deliver such Receipt or Receipts at the Depositary’s Office or such other offices, if any, as the 

  
 4 








 
Depositary may designate. Delivery at other offices shall be at the risk and expense of the person requesting such delivery. 

 

	 	Section 2.3.	Registration of Transfer of Receipts. 

 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, the Depositary shall register on its books from time to time transfers of Receipts upon any surrender thereof by the holder in person or by
duly authorized attorney, properly endorsed or accompanied by a properly executed instrument of transfer. Thereupon, the Depositary shall execute a new Receipt or Receipts evidencing the same aggregate number of Depositary Shares as those evidenced
by the Receipt or Receipts surrendered and deliver such new Receipt or Receipts to or upon the order of the person entitled thereto. 
 The Depositary shall not be required (a) to issue, transfer or exchange any Receipts for a period beginning at the opening of business fifteen days next preceding any selection of Depositary Shares
and Stock to be redeemed and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing of notice of redemption, or (b) to transfer or exchange for another Receipt any Receipt called or being called for redemption in whole or in part except as
provided in Section 2.8. 
  

	 	Section 2.4.	Split-ups and Combinations of Receipts; Surrender of Receipts and Withdrawal of Stock. 


Upon surrender of a Receipt or Receipts at the Depositary’s Office or at such other offices as it may designate for the purpose of
effecting a split-up or combination of such Receipt or Receipts, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, the Depositary shall execute a new Receipt or Receipts in the authorized denomination or denominations requested,
evidencing the aggregate number of Depositary Shares evidenced by the Receipt or Receipts surrendered, and shall deliver such new Receipt or Receipts to or upon the order of the holder of the Receipt or Receipts so surrendered. 

Any holder of a Receipt or Receipts may withdraw the number of whole shares of Stock and all money and other property, if any,
represented thereby by surrendering such Receipt or Receipts, at the Depositary’s Office or at such other offices as the Depositary may designate for such withdrawals. Thereafter, without unreasonable delay, the Depositary shall deliver to such
holder, or to the person or persons designated by such holder as hereinafter provided, the number of whole shares of Stock and all money and other property, if any, represented by the Receipt or Receipts so surrendered for withdrawal, but holders of
such whole shares of Stock will not thereafter be entitled to deposit such Stock hereunder or to receive a Receipt evidencing Depositary Shares therefor. If a Receipt delivered by the holder to the Depositary in connection with such withdrawal shall
evidence a number of Depositary Shares in excess of the number of Depositary Shares representing the number of whole shares of Stock to be so withdrawn, the Depositary shall at the same time, in addition to such number of whole shares of Stock and
such money and other property, if any, to be so withdrawn, deliver to such holder, or subject to Section 2.3 upon such holder’s order, a new Receipt evidencing such excess number of Depositary Shares. 

  
 5 








 Except as provided in Section 6.2, in no event will fractional shares of Stock (or any
cash payment in lieu thereof) be delivered by the Depositary. Delivery of the Stock and money and other property, if any, being withdrawn may be made by the delivery of such certificates, documents of title and other instruments as the Depositary
may deem appropriate. 
 If the Stock and the money and other property, if any, being withdrawn are to be delivered to a person
or persons other than the record holder of the Receipt or Receipts being surrendered for withdrawal of Stock, such holder shall execute and deliver to the Depositary a written order so directing the Depositary and the Depositary may require that the
Receipt or Receipts surrendered by such holder for withdrawal of such shares of Stock be properly endorsed in blank or accompanied by a properly executed instrument of transfer in blank. 

Delivery of the Stock and the money and other property, if any, represented by Receipts surrendered for withdrawal shall be made by the
Depositary at the Depositary’s Office, except that, at the request, risk and expense of the holder surrendering such Receipt or Receipts and for the account of the holder thereof, such delivery may be made at such other place as may be
designated by such holder. 
  

	 	Section 2.5.	Limitations on Execution and Delivery, Transfer, Surrender and Exchange of Receipts. 


As a condition precedent to the execution and delivery, registration of transfer, split-up, combination, surrender or exchange of any
Receipt, the Depositary, any of the Depositary’s Agents or the Corporation may require payment to it of a sum sufficient for the payment (or, in the event that the Depositary or the Corporation shall have made such payment, the reimbursement to
it) of any charges or expenses payable by the holder of a Receipt pursuant to Section 5.7, may require the production of evidence satisfactory to it as to the identity and genuineness of any signature, and any other reasonable evidence of
authority that may be required by the Depositary and may also require compliance with such regulations, if any, as the Depositary or the Corporation may establish consistent with the provisions of this Deposit Agreement and/or applicable law.

 The deposit of Stock may be refused, the delivery of Receipts against Stock may be suspended, the registration of transfer of
Receipts may be refused and the registration of transfer, surrender or exchange of outstanding Receipts may be suspended (i) during any period when the register of stockholders of the Corporation is closed or (ii) if any such action is
deemed necessary or advisable by the Depositary, any of the Depositary’s Agents or the Corporation at any time or from time to time because of any requirement of law or of any government or governmental body or commission or under any provision
of this Deposit Agreement. 
  

	 	Section 2.6.	Lost Receipts, etc. 

 In
case any Receipt shall be mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Depositary in its discretion may execute and deliver a Receipt of like form and tenor in exchange and substitution for such mutilated Receipt, or in lieu of and in substitution for
such destroyed, lost or stolen Receipt, upon (i) the filing by the holder thereof with the Depositary of evidence satisfactory to the Depositary of such destruction or loss or theft of such Receipt, of the authenticity thereof and


  
 6 








 
of such holder’s ownership thereof and (ii) the holder thereof furnishing of the Depositary with reasonable indemnification satisfactory to the Depositary. 

 

	 	Section 2.7.	Cancellation and Destruction of Surrendered Receipts. 

 All Receipts surrendered to the Depositary or any Depositary’s Agent shall be cancelled by the Depositary. Except as prohibited by applicable law or regulation, the Depositary is authorized and
directed to destroy all Receipts so cancelled. 
  

	 	Section 2.8.	Redemption of Stock. 


Whenever the Corporation shall be permitted and shall elect to redeem shares of Stock in accordance with the provisions of the
Certificate of Designations (including on account of a Regulatory Capital Treatment Event, as described therein), it shall (unless otherwise agreed to in writing with the Depositary) give or cause to be given to the Depositary, not less than
30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date (as defined below), notice of the date of such proposed redemption of Stock and of the number of such shares held by the Depositary to be so redeemed and the Depositary Share
Redemption Price, which notice shall be accompanied by a certificate from the Corporation stating that such redemption of Stock is in accordance with the provisions of the Certificate of Designations. On the date of such redemption, provided that
the Corporation shall then have paid or caused to be paid in full to the Depositary the Redemption Price (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) per share of Stock to be redeemed, in accordance with and as required by the provisions of the
Certificate of Designations, the Depositary shall redeem the number of Depositary Shares representing such Stock. The Depositary shall mail notice of the Corporation’s redemption of Stock and the proposed simultaneous redemption of the number
of Depositary Shares representing the Stock to be redeemed by first-class mail, postage prepaid, not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption of such Stock and Depositary Shares (the “Redemption
Date”), to the record holders of the Receipts evidencing the Depositary Shares to be so redeemed at the addresses of such holders as they appear on the records of the Depositary; but neither failure to mail any such notice of redemption of
Depositary Shares to one or more such holders nor any defect in any notice of redemption of Depositary Shares to one or more such holders shall affect the sufficiency of the proceedings for redemption as to the other holders. Each such notice shall
be prepared by the Corporation and shall state: (i) the Redemption Date; (ii) the number of Depositary Shares to be redeemed and, if less than all the Depositary Shares held by any such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such
Depositary Shares held by such holder to be so redeemed; (iii) the Depositary Share Redemption Price; (iv) the place or places where Receipts evidencing Depositary Shares are to be surrendered for payment of the Depositary Share Redemption
Price and (v) that dividends on such shares of Stock represented by the Depositary Shares to be redeemed will cease to accrue on such Redemption Date. In case less than all the outstanding Depositary Shares are to be redeemed, the Depositary
Shares to be so redeemed shall be selected either pro rata, by lot or in such other manner as the Corporation may determine to be equitable. 
 Notice having been mailed by the Depositary as aforesaid, from and after the Redemption Date (unless the Corporation shall have failed to provide the funds necessary to redeem the Stock evidenced by the
Depositary Shares called for redemption) (i) all shares of Stock called for 

  
 7 








 
redemption shall cease to be outstanding and any rights with respect to such shares shall cease and terminate (except for the right to receive the Preferred Stock Redemption Price without
interest), (ii) the Depositary Shares being redeemed from such proceeds shall cease to be outstanding and all rights of the holders of Receipts evidencing such Depositary Shares shall, to the extent of such Depositary Shares, cease and
terminate (except the right to receive the Depositary Share Redemption Price without interest), and (iii) upon surrender in accordance with such redemption notice of the Receipts evidencing any such Depositary Shares called for redemption
(properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Depositary or applicable law shall so require), such Depositary Shares shall be redeemed by the Depositary at a redemption price per Depositary Share (the “Depositary Share Redemption
Price”) equal to one-fortieth of the Preferred Stock Redemption Price per share of Stock so redeemed plus all money and other property, if any, represented by such Depositary Shares. 

If fewer than all of the Depositary Shares evidenced by a Receipt are called for redemption, the Depositary will deliver to the holder of
such Receipt upon its surrender to the Depositary, together with the redemption payment, a new Receipt evidencing the Depositary Shares evidenced by such prior Receipt and not called for redemption. 

 

	 	Section 2.9.	Receipts Issuable in Global Registered Form. 

 If the Corporation shall determine in a writing delivered to the Depositary that the Receipts are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Registered Receipts, then the
Depositary shall, in accordance with the other provisions of this Deposit Agreement, execute and deliver one or more Global Registered Receipts evidencing such Receipts, which (i) shall represent, and shall be denominated in an amount equal to
the aggregate principal amount of, the Receipts to be represented by such Global Registered Receipt or Receipts, and (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Global Receipt Depository therefor or its nominee. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Deposit Agreement to the contrary, unless otherwise provided in the Global Registered
Receipt, a Global Registered Receipt may only be transferred in whole and only by the applicable Global Receipt Depository for such Global Registered Receipt to a nominee of such Global Receipt Depository, or by a nominee of such Global Receipt
Depository to such Global Receipt Depository or another nominee of such Global Receipt Depository, or by such Global Receipt Depository or any such nominee to a successor Global Receipt Depository for such Global Registered Receipt selected or
approved by the Corporation or to a nominee of such successor Global Receipt Depository. Except as provided below, owners solely of beneficial interests in a Global Registered Receipt shall not be entitled to receive physical delivery of the
Receipts represented by such Global Registered Receipt. Neither any such beneficial owner nor any direct or indirect participant of a Global Receipt Depository shall have any rights under this Deposit Agreement with respect to any Global Registered
Receipt held on their behalf by a Global Receipt Depository and such Global Receipt Depository may be treated by the Corporation, the Depositary and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or the Depositary as the holder of such
Global Registered Receipt for all purposes whatsoever. 

  
 8 








 Unless and until definitive Receipts are delivered to the owners of the beneficial interests
in a Global Registered Receipt, (1) the applicable Global Receipt Depository will make book-entry transfers among its participants and receive and transmit all payments and distributions in respect of the Global Registered Receipts to such
participants, in each case, in accordance with its applicable procedures and arrangements, and (2) whenever any notice, payment or other communication to the holders of Global Registered Receipts is required under this Deposit Agreement, the
Depositary shall give all such notices, payments and communications specified herein to be given to such holders to the applicable Global Receipt Depository. 
 If an Exchange Event has occurred with respect to any Global Registered Receipt, then, in any such event, the Depositary shall, upon receipt of a written order from the Corporation for the execution and
delivery of individual definitive registered Receipts in exchange for such Global Registered Receipt, execute and deliver, individual definitive registered Receipts, in authorized denominations and of like tenor and terms in an aggregate principal
amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Registered Receipt surrendered in exchange for such Global Registered Receipt. 
 Definitive registered Receipts issued in exchange for a Global Registered Receipt pursuant to this Section shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Global Receipt
Depository for such Global Registered Receipt, pursuant to instructions from its participants, shall instruct the Depositary in writing. The Depositary shall deliver such Receipts to the persons in whose names such Receipts are so registered.

 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Deposit Agreement, should the Corporation determine that the Receipts should
be issued as a Global Registered Receipt, the parties hereto shall comply with the terms of each Letter of Representations, if applicable. 
 ARTICLE III 
 CERTAIN OBLIGATIONS OF

 HOLDERS OF RECEIPTS AND THE
CORPORATION 
  

	 	Section 3.1.	Filing Proofs, Certificates and Other Information. 

 Any holder of a Receipt may be required from time to time to file such proof of residence, or other matters or other information, to execute such certificates and to make such representations and
warranties as the Depositary or the Corporation may reasonably deem necessary or proper. The Depositary or the Corporation may withhold the delivery, or delay the registration of transfer or redemption, of any Receipt or the withdrawal of the Stock
represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by any Receipt or the distribution of any dividend or other distribution or the sale of any rights or of the proceeds thereof until such proof or other information is filed or such certificates are
executed or such representations and warranties are made. 

  
 9 









	 	Section 3.2.	Payment of Taxes or Other Governmental Charges. 

 Holders of Receipts shall be obligated to make payments to the Depositary of certain charges and expenses, as provided in Section 5.7. Registration of transfer of any Receipt or any withdrawal of
Stock and all money or other property, if any, represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt may be refused until any such payment due is made, and any dividends or other distributions may be withheld or any part of or all the Stock
or other property represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt and not theretofore sold may be sold for the account of the holder thereof (after attempting by reasonable means to notify such holder prior to such sale), and such
dividends or other distributions or the proceeds of any such sale may be applied to any payment of such charges or expenses, the holder of such Receipt remaining liable for any deficiency. 

 

	 	Section 3.3.	Warranty as to Stock. 


The Corporation hereby represents and warrants that the Stock, when issued, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable (subject to 12 U.S.C. § 55). Such representation and warranty shall survive the deposit of the Stock and the issuance of Receipts. 
  

	 	Section 3.4.	Warranty as to Receipts. 


The Corporation hereby represents and warrants that the Receipts, when issued, will represent legal and valid interests in the Stock.
Such representation and warranty shall survive the deposit of the Stock and the issuance of Receipts. 
 ARTICLE IV 

THE DEPOSITED SECURITIES; NOTICES 

 

	 	Section 4.1.	Cash Distributions. 


Whenever the Depositary shall receive any cash dividend or other cash distribution on Stock, the Depositary shall, subject to Sections
3.1 and 3.2, distribute to record holders of Receipts on the record date fixed pursuant to Section 4.4 such amounts of such dividend or distribution as are, as nearly as practicable, in proportion to the respective numbers of Depositary Shares
evidenced by the Receipts held by such holders; provided, however, that in case the Corporation or the Depositary shall be required to withhold and shall withhold from any cash dividend or other cash distribution in respect of the Stock an amount on
account of taxes, the amount made available for distribution or distributed in respect of Depositary Shares shall be reduced accordingly. The Depositary shall distribute or make available for distribution, as the case may be, only such
amount, however, as can be distributed without attributing to any holder of Depositary Shares a fraction of one cent, and any balance not so distributable shall be held by the Depositary (without liability for interest thereon) and shall be added to
and be treated as part of the next sum received by the Depositary for distribution to record holders of Receipts then outstanding. Each holder of a Receipt shall provide the Depositary with its certified tax identification number on a properly
completed Form W-8 or W-9, as may be applicable. Each holder of a Receipt acknowledges that, in the event of non-compliance with the preceding 

  
 10 









 
sentence, the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, may require withholding by the Depositary of a portion of any of the distributions to be made hereunder. 

 

	 	Section 4.2.	Distributions Other than Cash, Rights, Preferences or Privileges. 

 Whenever the Depositary shall receive any distribution other than cash, rights, preferences or privileges upon Stock, the Depositary shall, at the direction of the Corporation, subject to Sections 3.1 and
3.2, distribute to record holders of Receipts on the record date fixed pursuant to Section 4.4 such amounts of the securities or property received by it as are, as nearly as practicable, in proportion to the respective numbers of Depositary
Shares evidenced by the Receipts held by such holders, in any manner that the Corporation may deem equitable and practicable for accomplishing such distribution. If in the opinion of the Depositary such distribution cannot be made proportionately
among such record holders in accordance with the direction of the Corporation, or if for any other reason (including any requirement that the Corporation or the Depositary withhold an amount on account of taxes) the Depositary deems, after
consultation with the Corporation, such distribution not to be feasible, the Depositary may, with the approval of the Corporation, adopt such method as it deems equitable and practicable for the purpose of effecting such distribution, including the
sale (at public or private sale) of the securities or property thus received, or any part thereof, in a commercially reasonable manner. The net proceeds of any such sale shall, subject to Sections 3.1 and 3.2, be distributed or made available for
distribution, as the case may be, by the Depositary to record holders of Receipts as provided by Section 4.1 in the case of a distribution received in cash. The Corporation shall not make any distribution of such securities or property to the
Depositary and the Depositary shall not make any distribution of such securities or property to the holders of Receipts unless the Corporation shall have provided an opinion of counsel stating that such securities or property have been registered
under the Securities Act or do not need to be registered in connection with such distributions. 
  

	 	Section 4.3.	Subscription Rights, Preferences or Privileges. 

 If the Corporation shall at any time offer or cause to be offered to the persons in whose names Stock is recorded on the books of the Corporation any rights, preferences or privileges to subscribe for or
to purchase any securities or any rights, preferences or privileges of any other nature, such rights, preferences or privileges shall in each such instance be made available by the Depositary to the record holders of Receipts in such manner as the
Corporation shall instruct the Depositary in writing, either by the issue to such record holders of warrants representing such rights, preferences or privileges or by such other method as may be approved by the Corporation; provided, however, that
(i) if at the time of issue or offer of any such rights, preferences or privileges the Depositary determines that it is not lawful or (after consultation with the Corporation) not feasible to make such rights, preferences or privileges
available to holders of Receipts by the issue of warrants or otherwise, or (ii) if and to the extent so instructed by holders of Receipts who do not desire to exercise such rights, preferences or privileges, then the Depositary, in its
discretion (with approval of the Corporation, in any case where the Depositary has determined that it is not feasible to make such rights, preferences or privileges available), may, if applicable laws or the terms of such rights, preferences or
privileges permit such transfer, sell such rights, preferences or privileges at public or private sale, at such place or places and upon such terms as it may deem proper. The net proceeds of any such sale shall, subject to


  
 11 









 
Sections 3.1 and 3.2, be distributed by the Depositary to the record holders of Receipts entitled thereto as provided by Section 4.1 in the case of a distribution received in cash.

 The Corporation shall notify the Depositary whether registration under the Securities Act of the securities to which any
rights, preferences or privileges relate is required in order for holders of Receipts to be offered or sold the securities to which such rights, preferences or privileges relate, and the Corporation agrees with the Depositary that it will file
promptly a registration statement pursuant to such Act with respect to such rights, preferences or privileges and securities and use its reasonable best efforts and take all steps available to it to cause such registration statement to become
effective sufficiently in advance of the expiration of such rights, preferences or privileges to enable such holders to exercise such rights, preferences or privileges. In no event shall the Depositary make available to the holders of Receipts any
right, preference or privilege to subscribe for or to purchase any securities unless and until such registration statement shall have become effective, or the Corporation shall have provided to the Depositary an opinion of counsel to the effect that
the offering and sale of such securities to such holders are exempt from registration under the provisions of the Securities Act. 
 The Corporation shall notify the Depositary whether any other action under the laws of any jurisdiction or any governmental or administrative authorization, consent or permit is required in order for such
rights, preferences or privileges to be made available to holders of Receipts, and the Corporation agrees with the Depositary that the Corporation will use its reasonable best efforts to take such action or obtain such authorization, consent or
permit sufficiently in advance of the expiration of such rights, preferences or privileges to enable such holders to exercise such rights, preferences or privileges. 
  

	 	Section 4.4.	Notice of Dividends, etc.; Fixing Record Date for Holders of Receipts. 

 Whenever any cash dividend or other cash distribution shall become payable or any distribution other than cash shall be made, or if rights, preferences or privileges shall at any time be offered, with
respect to Stock, or whenever the Depositary shall receive notice of any meeting at which holders of Stock are entitled to vote or of which holders of Stock are entitled to notice, or whenever the Depositary and the Corporation shall decide it is
appropriate, the Depositary shall in each such instance fix a record date (which shall be the same date as the record date fixed by the Corporation with respect to, or otherwise in accordance with the terms of, the Stock, as identified in a written
notice to the Depositary of such record date) for the determination of the holders of Receipts who shall be entitled to receive such dividend, distribution, rights, preferences or privileges or the net proceeds of the sale thereof, or to give
instructions for the exercise of voting rights at any such meeting, or who shall be entitled to notice of such meeting or for any other appropriate reasons. 
  

	 	Section 4.5.	Voting Rights. 

 Subject
to the provisions of the Certificate of Designations, upon receipt of notice of any meeting at which the holders of Stock are entitled to vote, the Depositary shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, mail or transmit by such other method approved
by the Depositary, in its reasonable discretion, to the record holders of Receipts a notice prepared by the Corporation which shall contain (i) such information as is contained in such notice of meeting and (ii) a


  
 12 









 
statement that the holders may, subject to any applicable restrictions, instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights pertaining to the amount of Stock represented by their
respective Depositary Shares (including an express indication that instructions may be given to the Depositary to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by the Corporation) and a brief statement as to the manner in which such instructions
may be given. Upon the written request of the holders of Receipts on the relevant record date, the Depositary shall endeavor insofar as practicable to vote or cause to be voted, in accordance with the instructions set forth in such requests, the
maximum number of whole shares of Stock represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by all Receipts as to which any particular voting instructions are received. The Corporation hereby agrees to take all reasonable action which may be deemed
necessary by the Depositary in order to enable the Depositary to vote such Stock or cause such Stock to be voted. In the absence of specific instructions from holders of Receipts, the Depositary will vote the Series B Preferred Stock represented by
the Depositary Shares evidenced by the Receipts of such holders proportionately with votes cast pursuant to instructions received from the other holders. 
  

	 	Section 4.6.	Changes Affecting Deposited Securities and Reclassifications, Recapitalizations, etc. 


Upon any change in par or stated value, split-up, combination or any other reclassification of the Stock, subject to the Certificate of
Designations, or upon any recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation affecting the Corporation or to which it is a party, the Depositary may in its discretion with the approval of, and shall upon the instructions of, the Corporation,
and (in either case) in such manner as the Depositary may deem equitable, (i) make such adjustments as are certified by the Corporation in the fraction of an interest represented by one Depositary Share in one share of Stock and in the ratio of
the Redemption Price to the Preferred Stock Redemption Price, in each case as may be necessary fully to reflect the effects of such change in par or stated value, split-up, combination or other reclassification of Stock, or of such recapitalization,
reorganization, merger or consolidation and (ii) treat any securities which shall be received by the Depositary in exchange for or upon conversion of or in respect of the Stock as new deposited securities so received in exchange for or upon
conversion or in respect of such Stock. In any such case the Depositary may in its discretion, with the approval of the Corporation, execute and deliver additional Receipts or may call for the surrender of all outstanding Receipts to be exchanged
for new Receipts specifically describing such new deposited securities. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, holders of Receipts shall have the right from and after the effective date of any such change in par or stated value, split-up,
combination or other reclassification of the Stock or any such recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation to surrender such Receipts to the Depositary with instructions to convert, exchange or surrender the Stock represented thereby
only into or for, as the case may be, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property and cash into which the Stock represented by such Receipts might have been converted or for which such Stock might have been exchanged or
surrendered immediately prior to the effective date of such transaction.

	 	Section 4.7.	Delivery of Reports. 


The Depositary shall furnish to holders of Receipts any reports and communications received from the Corporation which are received by
the Depositary and which the Corporation is required to furnish to the holders of the Stock. 
  

	 	Section 4.8.	Lists of Receipt Holders. 


Promptly upon request from time to time by the Corporation, the Depositary shall furnish to it a list, as of the most recent practicable
date, of the names, addresses and holdings of Depositary Shares of all record holders of Receipts. 
 ARTICLE V 

THE DEPOSITARY, THE DEPOSITARY’S 

AGENTS, THE REGISTRAR AND THE CORPORATION

  

	 	Section 5.1.	Maintenance of Offices, Agencies and Transfer Books by the Depositary; Registrar. 


Upon execution of this Deposit Agreement, the Depositary shall maintain at the Depositary’s Office, facilities for the execution and
delivery, registration and registration of transfer, surrender and exchange of Receipts, and at the offices of the Depositary’s Agents, if any, facilities for the delivery, registration of transfer, surrender and exchange of Receipts, all in
accordance with the provisions of this Deposit Agreement. 
 The Depositary shall keep books at the Depositary’s Office for
the registration and registration of transfer, surrender and exchange of Receipts, which books at all reasonable times shall be open for inspection by the record holders of Receipts; provided that any such holder requesting to exercise such right
shall certify to the Depositary that such inspection shall be for a proper purpose reasonably related to such person’s interest as an owner of Depositary Shares evidenced by the Receipts. 

The Depositary may close such books, at any time or from time to time, when deemed expedient by it in connection with the performance of
its duties hereunder. 
 The Corporation may appoint a Registrar for registration of the Receipts or the Depositary Shares
evidenced thereby. If the Receipts or the Depositary Shares evidenced thereby or the Stock represented by such Depositary Shares shall be listed on one or more national stock exchanges, the Corporation will appoint a Registrar for registration of
such Receipts or Depositary Shares in accordance with any requirements of such exchange. Such Registrar (which may be the Depositary if so permitted by the requirements of any such exchange) may be removed and a substitute Registrar appointed by the
Depositary upon the request or with the approval of the Corporation. If the Receipts, such Depositary Shares or such Stock are listed on one or more other stock exchanges, the Depositary will, at the request of the Corporation, arrange such
facilities for the delivery, registration, registration of transfer, surrender and exchange of such Receipts, such Depositary Shares or such Stock as may be required by law or applicable stock exchange regulation. 

  
 14 










	 	Section 5.2.	Prevention of or Delay in Performance by the Depositary, the Depositary’s Agents, the Registrar or the Corporation. 


Neither the Depositary nor any Depositary’s Agent nor any Registrar nor the Corporation shall incur any liability to any holder of
any Receipt if by reason of any provision of any present or future law, or regulation thereunder, of the United States of America or of any other governmental authority or, in the case of the Depositary, the Depositary’s Agent or the Registrar,
by reason of any provision, present or future, of the Corporation’s Fifth Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (including the Certificate of Designations), or by reason of any act of God or war or other circumstance beyond the
control of the relevant party, the Depositary, the Depositary’s Agent, the Registrar or the Corporation shall be prevented or forbidden from, or subjected to any penalty on account of, doing or performing any act or thing which the terms of
this Deposit Agreement provide shall be done or performed; nor shall the Depositary, any Depositary’s Agent, any Registrar or the Corporation incur liability to any holder of a Receipt (i) by reason of any nonperformance or delay, caused
as aforesaid, in the performance of any act or thing which the terms of this Deposit Agreement shall provide shall or may be done or performed, or (ii) by reason of any exercise of, or failure to exercise, any discretion provided for in this
Deposit Agreement except as otherwise explicitly set forth in this Deposit Agreement. 
  

	 	Section 5.3.	Obligations of the Depositary, the Depositary’s Agents, the Registrar and the Corporation. 


Neither the Depositary nor any Depositary’s Agent nor any Registrar nor the Corporation assumes any obligation or shall be subject
to any liability under this Deposit Agreement to holders of Receipts other than for its negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. Notwithstanding anything in this Deposit Agreement to the contrary, neither the Depositary, nor the
Depositary’s Agent nor any Registrar nor the Corporation shall be liable in any event for special, punitive, incidental, indirect or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits). 

Neither the Depositary nor any Depositary’s Agent nor any Registrar nor the Corporation shall be under, any obligation to appear in,
prosecute or defend any action, suit or other proceeding in respect of the Stock, the Depositary Shares or the Receipts which in its opinion may involve it in expense or liability unless indemnity satisfactory to it against all expense and liability
be furnished as often as may be required. 
 Neither the Depositary nor any Depositary’s Agent nor any Registrar nor the
Corporation shall be liable for any action or any failure to act by it in reasonable reliance upon the written advice of legal counsel or accountants, or information from any person presenting Stock for deposit, any holder of a Receipt or any other
person believed by it in good faith to be competent to give such information. The Depositary, any Depositary’s Agent, any Registrar and the Corporation may each rely and shall each be protected in acting upon or omitting to act upon any written
notice, request, direction or other document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. 
 The Depositary will indemnify the Corporation against any liability which may directly arise out of acts performed or omitted by the Depositary due to its gross negligence, willful


  
 15 









 
misconduct or bad faith, however, in no event shall the Depositary be liable for consequential, special or indirect damages of any kind regardless of whether the Depositary is put on notice of
the possibility of such damages. The Depositary shall not be liable for the acts or omissions due to the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of any Depositary’s Agent, so long as such Depositary’s Agent was appointed with due
care. 
 The Depositary shall not be responsible for any failure to carry out any instruction to vote any of the shares of Stock
or for the manner or effect of any such vote made, as long as any such action or non-action is not taken in bad faith. The Depositary undertakes, and any Registrar shall be required to undertake, to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Deposit Agreement, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Deposit Agreement against the Depositary or any Registrar. 
 The Depositary, the Depositary’s Agents, and any Registrar may own and deal in any class of securities of the Corporation and its affiliates and in Receipts. The Depositary may also act as transfer
agent or registrar of any of the securities of the Corporation and its affiliates. 
 The Depositary shall not be under any
liability for interest on any monies at any time received by it pursuant to any of the provisions of this Deposit Agreement or of the Receipts, the Depositary Shares or the Stock nor shall it be obligated to segregate such monies from other monies
held by it, except as required by law. The Depositary shall not be responsible for advancing funds on behalf of the Corporation and shall have no duty or obligation to make any payments if it has not timely received sufficient funds to make timely
payments. 
 In the event the Depositary believes any ambiguity or uncertainty exists hereunder or in any notice, instruction,
direction, request or other communication, paper or document received by the Depositary hereunder, or in the administration of any of the provisions of this Deposit Agreement, the Depositary shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be
proved or established prior to taking, omitting or suffering to take any action hereunder, the Depositary may, in its sole discretion upon written notice to the Corporation, refrain from taking any action and shall be fully protected and shall not
be liable in any way to the Corporation, any holders of Receipts or any other person or entity for refraining from taking such action, unless the Depositary receives written instructions or a certificate signed by the Corporation which eliminates
such ambiguity or uncertainty to the satisfaction of the Depositary or which proves or establishes the applicable matter to the satisfaction of the Depositary. The Depositary shall not be liable to the Corporation or any holder of Receipts, for any
action taken by it in accordance with the written instruction of the Corporation. 
  

	 	Section 5.4.	Resignation and Removal of the Depositary; Appointment of Successor Depositary. 


The Depositary may at any time resign as Depositary hereunder by delivering notice of its election to do so to the Corporation, such
resignation to take effect upon the appointment of a successor Depositary and its acceptance of such appointment as hereinafter provided. 

  
 16 









 The Depositary may at any time be removed by the Corporation by notice of such removal
delivered to the Depositary, such removal to take effect upon the appointment of a successor Depositary hereunder and its acceptance of such appointment as hereinafter provided. 

In case at any time the Depositary acting hereunder shall resign or be removed, the Corporation shall, within 60 days after the
delivery of the notice of resignation or removal, as the case may be, appoint a successor Depositary, which shall be a bank or trust Corporation having its principal office in the United States of America and having a combined capital and surplus of
at least $50,000,000. If no successor Depositary shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 60 days after delivery of such notice, the resigning or removed Depositary may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for
the appointment of a successor Depositary. Every successor Depositary shall execute and deliver to its predecessor and to the Corporation an instrument in writing accepting its appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor Depositary, without
any further act or deed, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor and for all purposes shall be the Depositary under this Deposit Agreement, and such predecessor, upon payment of all sums due
it and on the written request of the Corporation, shall promptly execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor all rights and powers of such predecessor hereunder, shall duly assign, transfer and deliver all right, title and
interest in the Stock and any moneys or property held hereunder to such successor, and shall deliver to such successor a list of the record holders of all outstanding Receipts and such records, books and other information in its possession relating
thereto. Any successor Depositary shall promptly mail or transmit by such other method approved by such successor Depositary, in its reasonable discretion, notice of its appointment to the record holders of Receipts. 

Any entity into or with which the Depositary may be merged, consolidated or converted shall be the successor of such Depositary without
the execution or filing of any document or any further act, and notice thereof shall not be required hereunder. Such successor Depositary may authenticate the Receipts in the name of the predecessor Depositary or in the name of the successor
Depositary. 
  

	 	Section 5.5.	Corporate Notices and Reports. 

 The Corporation agrees that it will deliver to the Depositary, and the Depositary will, promptly after receipt thereof, transmit to the record holders of Receipts, in each case at the addresses recorded
in the Depositary’s books, copies of all notices and reports (including without limitation financial statements) required by law, by the rules of any national securities exchange upon which the Stock, the Depositary Shares or the Receipts are
listed or by the Corporation’s Fifth Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (including the Certificate of Designations), to be furnished to the record holders of Receipts. Such transmission will be at the Corporation’s expense
and the Corporation will provide the Depositary with such number of copies of such documents as the Depositary may reasonably request. In addition, the Depositary will transmit to the record holders of Receipts at the Corporation’s expense such
other documents as may be requested by the Corporation. 

  
 17 










	 	Section 5.6.	Indemnification by the Corporation. 

 Notwithstanding Section 5.3 to the contrary, the Corporation shall indemnify the Depositary, any Depositary’s Agent and any Registrar (including each of their officers, directors, agents and
employees) against, and hold each of them harmless from, any loss, damage, cost, penalty, liability or expense (including the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of defending itself) which may arise out of acts performed, suffered or omitted
to be taken in connection with this Deposit Agreement and the Receipts by the Depositary, any Registrar or any of their respective agents (including any Depositary’s Agent) and any transactions or documents contemplated hereby, except for any
liability arising out of negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the respective parts of any such person or persons. The obligations of the Corporation set forth in this Section 5.6 shall survive any succession of any Depositary,
Registrar or Depositary’s Agent. 
  

	 	Section 5.7.	Fees, Charges and Expenses. 

 The Corporation agrees promptly to pay the Depositary the compensation to be agreed upon with the Corporation for all services rendered by the Depositary hereunder and to reimburse the Depositary for its
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the Depositary without negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on its part (or on the part of any Depositary’s Agent) in connection with the
services rendered by it (or such Depositary’s Agent) hereunder. The Corporation shall pay all charges of the Depositary in connection with the initial deposit of the Stock and the initial issuance of the Depositary Shares, all withdrawals of
shares of the Stock by owners of Depositary Shares, and any redemption or exchange of the Stock at the option of the Corporation. The Corporation shall pay all transfer and other taxes and governmental charges arising solely from the existence of
the depositary arrangements. All other transfer and other taxes and governmental charges shall be at the expense of holders of Depositary Shares evidenced by Receipts. If, at the request of a holder of Receipts, the Depositary incurs charges or
expenses for which the Corporation is not otherwise liable hereunder, such holder will be liable for such charges and expenses; provided, however, that the Depositary may, at its sole option, require a holder of a Receipt to prepay the Depositary
any charge or expense the Depositary has been asked to incur at the request of such holder of Receipts. The Depositary shall present its statement for charges and expenses to the Corporation at such intervals as the Corporation and the Depositary
may agree. 
 ARTICLE VI 
 AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION 
  

	 	Section 6.1.	Amendment. 

 The form of
the Receipts and any provisions of this Deposit Agreement may at any time and from time to time be amended by agreement between the Corporation and the Depositary in any respect which they may deem necessary or desirable; provided, however, that no
such amendment which shall materially and adversely alter the rights of the holders of Receipts shall be effective unless such amendment shall have been approved by holders of Receipts representing in the aggregate at least a two-thirds majority of
the Depositary Shares then 

  
 18 









 
outstanding. Every holder of an outstanding Receipt at the time any such amendment becomes effective shall be deemed, by continuing to hold such Receipt, to consent and agree to such amendment
and to be bound by the Deposit Agreement as amended thereby. In no event shall any amendment impair the right, subject to the provisions of Sections 2.5 and 2.6 and Article III, of any owner of Depositary Shares to surrender any Receipt
evidencing such Depositary Shares to the Depositary with instructions to deliver to the holder the Stock and all money and other property, if any, represented thereby, except in order to comply with mandatory provisions of applicable law or the
rules and regulations of any governmental body, agency or commission, or applicable stock exchange. 
  

	 	Section 6.2.	Termination. 

 This
Deposit Agreement may be terminated by the Corporation at any time upon not less than 60 days prior written notice to the Depositary, in which case, at least 30 days prior to the date fixed in such notice for such termination, the
Depositary will mail notice of such termination to the record holders of all Receipts then outstanding. 
 If any Receipts shall
remain outstanding after the date of termination of this Deposit Agreement, the Depositary thereafter shall discontinue the transfer of Receipts, shall suspend the distribution of dividends to the holders thereof and shall not give any further
notices (other than notice of such termination) or perform any further acts under this Deposit Agreement, except that the Depositary shall continue to collect dividends and other distributions pertaining to Stock, shall sell rights, preferences or
privileges as provided in this Deposit Agreement and shall deliver the number of whole or fractional shares of Stock and any money and other property, if any, represented by Receipts upon surrender thereof by the holders thereof. At any time after
the expiration of two years from the date of termination, the Depositary may sell Stock then held hereunder at public or private sale, at such places and upon such terms as it deems proper and may thereafter hold the net proceeds of any such sale,
together with any money and other property held by it hereunder, without liability for interest, for the benefit, pro rata in accordance with their holdings, of the holders of Receipts that have not theretofore been surrendered. After making such
sale, the Depositary shall be discharged from all obligations under this Deposit Agreement except to account for such net proceeds and money and other property; provided, that Sections 5.3 and 5.6 shall survive the termination of this Deposit
Agreement. 
 This Deposit Agreement will terminate automatically if (i) all outstanding Depositary Shares have been
redeemed pursuant to Section 2.8 or (ii) there shall have been made a final distribution in respect of the Stock in connection with any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation and such distribution shall have been
distributed to the holders of Depositary Shares pursuant to Section 4.1 or 4.2, as applicable. 
 Upon the termination of
this Deposit Agreement, the Corporation shall be discharged from all obligations under this Deposit Agreement except for its obligations to the Depositary, any Depositary’s Agent and any Registrar under Sections 5.6 and 5.7.
