 ARTICLE II 

FORM OF RECEIPTS, DEPOSIT OF SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK, EXECUTION AND DELIVERY, TRANSFER, SURRENDER AND REDEMPTION OF RECEIPTS 

 

	Section 2.1	Form and Transfer of Receipts. 

 The definitive Receipts shall be substantially in the
form set forth in Exhibit A annexed to this Agreement, with appropriate insertions, modifications and omissions, as hereinafter provided (but which do not affect the rights, duties, obligations or immunities of the Depositary as set
forth in this Deposit Agreement) and shall be engraved or otherwise prepared so as to comply with the rules and regulations of any securities exchange upon which the Series B Preferred Stock, the Depositary Shares or the Receipts may be listed.
Pending the preparation of definitive Receipts, the Depositary, upon the written order of the Corporation, delivered in compliance with Section 2.2, shall be authorized and instructed to, and shall execute and deliver temporary Receipts
which may be printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise substantially of the tenor of the definitive Receipts in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as
the Persons executing such Receipts may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Receipts. If temporary Receipts are issued, the Corporation and the Depositary will cause definitive Receipts to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After
the preparation of definitive Receipts, the temporary Receipts shall be exchangeable for definitive Receipts upon surrender of the temporary Receipts at an office described in the penultimate paragraph of Section 2.2, without charge to
the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Receipts, the Depositary is hereby authorized and instructed to, and shall execute and deliver in exchange therefor definitive Receipts representing the same number of
Depositary Shares as represented by the surrendered temporary Receipt or Receipts registered in the name (and only in the name) of the holder of the temporary receipt; provided that, the Depositary has been provided with all necessary information
that it may request in order to execute and deliver such definitive Receipts. Such exchange shall be made at the Corporation’s expense and without any charge therefor. Until so exchanged, the temporary Receipts shall in all respects be entitled
to the same benefits under this Agreement as definitive Receipts. 
 Any Receipts to be executed by the Depositary pursuant to this Deposit
Agreement shall be executed by the Depositary by the manual or facsimile signature of a duly authorized officer of the Depositary. 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 or by facsimile signature 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 manual or facsimile signature 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. 

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 Series B Preferred 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 (but
which do not affect the rights, duties, obligations or immunities of the Depositary as set forth in this Deposit Agreement). 
 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 of such Receipt with the same effect as in the case of a negotiable instrument in
accordance with the Depositary’s procedures; 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 Series B Preferred 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 Series B Preferred Stock
under this Deposit Agreement by delivering to the Depositary, including via electronic book-entry, such shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be deposited, properly endorsed or accompanied, if applicable and required by the Depositary, by a duly
executed instrument of transfer or endorsement, including a guarantee of the signature thereon by a participant in a Medallion Signature Guarantee Program at a guarantee level acceptable to the Depositary (a “Signature Guarantee”),
together with all such certifications as may be required by the Depositary in accordance with the provisions of this Deposit Agreement and an executed Officer’s Certificate attaching the Certificate of Designation and all other information
required to be set forth therein, 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 Series B Preferred Stock, each in a form satisfactory to the Depositary. Each Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Depositary in accordance with the terms of this
Deposit Agreement shall be deemed to be incorporated into this Deposit Agreement and shall be binding on the Corporation, the Depositary (provided that it does not affect the rights, duties, obligations or indemnities of the Depositary, as set forth
in this Agreement) and the Holders of Receipts to which such Officer’s Certificate relates. 
 The Series B Preferred Stock that is
deposited 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 Series B Preferred Stock deposited hereunder. 

Upon receipt by the Depositary of Series B Preferred Stock deposited in accordance with the provisions of this Section, together with the
other documents required as above specified, and upon recordation of the Series B Preferred 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 Series B Preferred 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 Depositary may designate. Delivery at other offices shall be at the risk and expense of the Person requesting such delivery. 

The Corporation shall deliver to the Depositary from time to time such quantities of Receipts as the Depositary may request to enable the
Depositary to perform its obligations under this Deposit Agreement. 
  

	Section 2.3	Registration of Transfer of Receipts. 

 The Corporation hereby appoints the Depositary as
the Registrar and Transfer Agent for the Receipts and Depositary hereby accepts such appointment, subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement (and no implied terms or conditions) and, as such, 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 which shall be affixed with a Signature
Guarantee, together with evidence of the payment of any taxes or charges as may be required by law. 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. With respect to the appointment of the Depositary as Registrar and Transfer Agent in respect of the Receipts, the
Depositary, in its respective capacities under such appointments, shall be entitled to the same rights, indemnities, immunities and benefits as the Depositary hereunder as if explicitly named in each such provision. Any references to the Depositary
herein shall, to the extent applicable, mean the Depositary as the Transfer Agent and Registrar. 
 The Depositary may, but shall not be
required (a) to issue, transfer or exchange any Receipts for a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days next preceding any selection of Depositary Shares and Series B Preferred 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 Series B Preferred 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 the receipt by the Depositary of all other necessary information and documents, 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 Series B Preferred 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,
provided, however, that a Holder of a Receipt or Receipts may not withdraw such whole shares of Series B Preferred Stock (or money and other property, if any, represented thereby) which has previously been called for redemption. Thereafter, without
unreasonable delay, (provided the Corporation has provided the Depositary with all necessary documentation and a sufficient amount of cash), 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 Series B Preferred 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 Series B Preferred Stock
will not thereafter be entitled to deposit such Series B Preferred 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 Series B Preferred Stock to be withdrawn, the Depositary shall at the same time, in addition to such number of whole
shares of Series B Preferred Stock and such money and other property, if any, to be so withdrawn, deliver to such Holder, or subject to Section 2.3 upon his order, a new Receipt evidencing such excess number of Depositary Shares. 

In no event will fractional shares of Series B Preferred Stock (or any cash payment in lieu thereof) be delivered by the Depositary. Delivery
of the Series B Preferred 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 Series B Preferred 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 related Receipt or Receipts being surrendered for withdrawal of such Series B Preferred 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 Series B Preferred Stock be properly endorsed in blank or accompanied by a properly executed instrument of transfer in blank. 

Delivery of the Series B Preferred 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 (i) 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, taxes or expenses payable by the Holder of a Receipt pursuant to Section 5.7
(including any such tax or charge with respect to the shares of Series B Preferred Stock being deposited or withdrawn or any charges or expense pursuant to Sections 3.2 or 5.7), (ii) the production of


  
 5 








 
evidence satisfactory to it as to the identity and genuineness of any signature (which evidence may include a Signature Guarantee), and (iii) 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 the Series B Preferred Stock may be refused, the delivery of Receipts against Series B Preferred 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 may execute and deliver in exchange therefore 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 of his or her ownership thereof and (ii) the Holder thereof
furnishing the Depositary with an affidavit and a bond satisfactory to the Depositary. Applicants for such substitute Receipts shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and pay such other reasonable charges as the Depositary may
prescribe and as required by Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of New York. 
  

	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 Series B Preferred Stock. 

 Whenever the Corporation shall be permitted and
shall elect to redeem shares of Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designation (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 such redemption, which shall state: (i) the
Redemption Date; (ii) the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if less than all the shares of Series B Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the number of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by the Depositary
to be so redeemed; (iii) the redemption price and the amount of any unpaid dividends and other amounts to be paid upon redemption; (iv) the place or places where the certificates evidencing shares of Series B Preferred Stock, if any, are
to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price; and (v) that dividends on the shares of Series B Preferred Stock will cease on the Redemption Date subject to necessary funds being set aside, which notice shall be accompanied by a
certificate from the Corporation stating that the redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock is in accordance with the provisions of the Certificate of Designation. In case less than all the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock are to be
redeemed, the shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be so redeemed shall be selected either pro rata or by lot or in such other manner determined by the Corporation (with prompt written notice thereof to the Depositary) to be fair and equitable or
as may be required by the principal national stock exchange on which the Series B Preferred Stock is listed. On the date of such redemption, the Depositary shall redeem the number of Depositary Shares representing such Series B Preferred Stock set
forth in such notice, provided that the Corporation shall then have paid or caused to be paid in full to Computershare the redemption price of the Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed, plus an amount equal to (i) any declared and
unpaid dividends thereon to the date fixed for redemption without accumulation of any undeclared dividends or (ii) if the redemption is in connection with a Regulatory Capital Treatment Event (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) the
unpaid portion of the dividend (whether or not declared) for the then current dividend period, all in accordance with the provisions of the Certificate of Designation. The Depositary shall, if requested in writing and provided with all necessary
information and 

  
 6 








 
documents, mail notice of the Corporation’s redemption of Series B Preferred Stock and the proposed simultaneous redemption of the number of Depositary Shares representing the Series B
Preferred Stock to be redeemed by first-class mail, postage prepaid (or another reasonably acceptable transmission method) approved by the Depositary, in its reasonable discretion, in either case, not less than 30 days and not more than
60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption of such Series B Preferred Stock and Depositary Shares (the “Redemption Date”), to the Record Holders of the Receipts evidencing the Depositary Shares to be so redeemed at their
respective last addresses as they appear on the records of the Depositary; but neither failure to mail or transmit 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. 
 In
the event that the Notice of redemption having been mailed or transmitted by the Depositary as aforesaid, and the Corporation has paid in full to the Depositary the redemption price (determined pursuant to the Certificate of Designation) of the
shares of Series B Preferred Stock deposited with the Depositary to be redeemed, the Depositary shall redeem the number of Depositary Shares representing such Series B Preferred Stock so called for redemption by the Corporation and on and after the
Redemption Date (unless the Corporation shall have failed to provide the funds necessary to redeem the Series B Preferred Stock evidenced by the Depositary Shares called for redemption) (i) all shares of Series B Preferred Stock called for
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 redemption price and any unpaid dividends and other amounts without interest), (ii) the
Depositary Shares being redeemed from such proceeds shall be deemed no longer to be outstanding, (iii) all rights of the Holders of Receipts evidencing such Depositary Shares (except the right to receive the redemption price and any unpaid
dividends without interest) shall, to the extent of such Depositary Shares, cease and terminate, and (iv) 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 equal to 1/1,000th of the redemption price per share of Series B Preferred Stock so redeemed plus all money and other property, if any, represented by such Depositary Shares, including all amounts of dividends in
accordance with the provisions of the Certificate of Designation. 
 In case less than all the Depositary Receipts are to be redeemed, the
Depositary Receipts to be so redeemed shall be selected either pro rata or by lot or in such other manner determined by the Corporation (with prompt written notice thereof to the Depositary) to be fair and equitable or as may be required by the
principal national stock exchange on which the Series B Preferred Stock is listed. 
 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. In any such case, the Corporation shall redeem Depositary Shares only in increments of 1,000 Depositary Shares and any multiple thereof. 

 

	Section 2.9	Bank Accounts. 

 The Corporation acknowledges that the bank accounts maintained by the
Depositary in connection with the services provided under this Deposit Agreement will be in Computershare’s name and that Computershare may receive investment earnings in connection with the investment at Computershare’s risk and for its
benefit of funds held in those accounts from time to time. Neither the Corporation nor the Holders will receive interest on any deposits or funds held by the Depositary hereunder. 

 

	Section 2.10	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, if instructed and provided with all necessary information, in accordance
with the other provisions of this Deposit Agreement, execute and deliver one or more Global Registered Receipts evidencing the Receipts of such Series, 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. 

  
 7 








 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. 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 Corporation and the Depositary or Computershare, as appropriate,
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 authorizing and directing the Depositary to execute and deliver the 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 par value equal to the aggregate par value of the Global Registered Receipt in exchange for such Global Registered Receipt. The Depositary shall have no
duties, obligations or liability under this paragraph unless and until such written order have been received by the Depositary. 

Definitive registered Receipts issued in exchange for a Global Registered Receipt pursuant to this Section 2.10 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 any Letter of Representations. 

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 Series B Preferred Stock represented by the Depositary Shares and evidenced by a
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.


  
 8 









	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 Series B Preferred 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, interest payments or other distributions may be withheld or any part of or all the Series B Preferred 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, interest
payments 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 Series B Preferred Stock. 

 The Corporation hereby represents and warrants
that the Series B Preferred Stock, when issued, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Such representation and warranty shall survive the deposit of the Series B Preferred Stock and the issuance of the related
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 Series B Preferred Stock. Such representation and warranty shall survive the deposit of the Series B Preferred Stock and the issuance of the Receipts. 

ARTICLE IV 
 THE
DEPOSITED SECURITIES; NOTICES 
  

	Section 4.1	Dividends and Cash Distributions. 

 Whenever the Depositary shall receive any cash
dividend or other cash distribution on the Series B Preferred Stock, Computershare shall, upon written instructions from 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 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 Series B Preferred Stock an amount on account of taxes, the amount
made available for distribution or distributed in respect of Depositary Shares shall be reduced accordingly. Computershare shall distribute or make available for distribution, as the case may be and in accordance with the Corporation’s written
instructions, only such amount, however, as can be distributed without attributing to any Holder of Receipts a fraction of one cent, and any balance not so distributable shall be held by Computershare (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 sentence, the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, may require withholding by the
Corporation or 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 the Series B Preferred 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 such Receipts held by such Holders, in any manner that the Depositary 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 

  
 9 








 
if for any other reason (including any requirement that the Corporation or the Depositary withhold an amount on account of taxes or charges) 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 Computershare 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, as applicable,
(i) have been registered under the Securities Act or do not need to be registered in connection with such distributions, and all appropriate state securities law filings have been made with respect to such securities; and (ii) are validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable. 
  

	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 the Series B Preferred 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 communicated to the Depositary in writing and made available by the Depositary to the Record Holders of Receipts in such manner as the Corporation
shall instruct the Depositary in writing, and the Depositary shall agree, 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 in its
discretion with the approval of the Depositary; provided, however, that (i) if at the time of issue or offer of any such rights, preferences or privileges the Corporation determines that it is not lawful or (after consultation
with the Depositary) 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 Depository may then, if so instructed by the Corporation, and if applicable laws or the terms of such rights, preferences or privileges permit, 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 be delivered to the Depositary and upon the written instructions of the Corporation and, subject to
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 the Securities 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 the 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. 

  
 10 









	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 the Series B Preferred Stock, or whenever the
Depositary shall receive notice of any meeting at which holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to vote or of which holders of the Series B Preferred 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 Series B Preferred
Stock) 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 Designation, upon
receipt of notice from the Corporation of any meeting at which the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to vote, the Depositary shall, if requested in writing and provided with all necessary information and documents, as soon as
practicable thereafter, mail or transmit by such other method approved by the Corporation and the Depositary, in each of its reasonable discretion, to the Record Holders of Receipts, as determined on the record date set forth in Section 4.4, a
notice prepared by the Corporation which shall contain (i) such information as is contained in such notice of meeting, (ii) a statement that the Holders of Receipts at the close of business on a specified record date fixed pursuant to
Section 4.4 may, subject to any applicable restrictions, instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights pertaining to the amount of Series B Preferred 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 (iii) 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
Series B Preferred 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 Series B Preferred Stock or cause such Series B Preferred Stock to be voted. In the absence of specific instructions from the Holder of a Receipt, the Depositary will not vote (but, at its
discretion, may appear at any meeting with respect to such Series B Preferred Stock unless directed to the contrary by the Holders of all the Receipts) to the extent of the Series B Preferred Stock represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by
such Receipt. The Depositary shall not be required to exercise discretion in voting any Series B Preferred Stock represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt. 

 

	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 Series B Preferred Stock, subject to the
provisions of the Certificate of Designation, or upon any recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation affecting the Corporation or to which it is a party, the Depositary shall, upon the written instructions of the Corporation setting
forth any adjustment, (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 Series B Preferred Stock and in the ratio of the redemption price per
Depositary Share to the redemption price per share of Series B Preferred Stock, 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 the Series B
Preferred Stock, or of such recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation and (ii) treat any securities or property (including cash) which shall be received by the Depositary in exchange for or upon conversion of or in respect of
the Series B Preferred Stock as new deposited property so received in exchange for or upon conversion of or in respect of such Series B Preferred Stock. In any such case the Depositary shall, upon receipt of written instructions 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 property. 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 Series B Preferred Stock or any such recapitalization,


  
 11 








 
reorganization, merger or consolidation to surrender such Receipts to the Depositary with instructions to convert, exchange or surrender the Series B Preferred Stock represented thereby only into
or for, as the case may be, the kind and amount of shares and other securities and property and cash into which the Series B Preferred Stock represented by such Receipts might have been converted or for which such Series B Preferred Stock might have
been exchanged or surrendered immediately prior to the effective date of such transaction. The Corporation shall cause any such surviving Person (if other than the Corporation) expressly to assume the obligations of the Corporation hereunder. 

 

	Section 4.7	Delivery of Reports. 

 The Depositary shall make available for inspection by Holders of
Receipts at the Depositary’s Office and at such other places as it may from time to time deem advisable during normal business hours any reports and communications received from the Corporation that are both received by the Depositary as the
holder of the Deposited Shares and which the Corporation is required to furnish to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock. 
  

	Section 4.8	Lists of Receipt Holders. 

 Reasonably promptly upon request from time to time by the
Corporation, at the sole expense of the Corporation, the Registrar shall furnish to it a list, as of the most recent practicable date, of the names, addresses and holdings of Depositary Shares of all registered Holders of Receipts. 

 

	Section 4.9	Tax and Regulatory Compliance. 

 The Depositary shall be responsible for
(i) preparing and mailing of Form 1099s for all open and closed accounts, (ii) all applicable withholding related to payments made with respect to the Receipts, including, without limitation, withholding required pursuant to Sections 1441,
1442, 1445 and 3406 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (iii) mailing Form W-9s to new holders of Receipts without a certified taxpayer identification number, (iv) processing certified Form W-9s, (v) preparing and filing
of state information returns and (vi) providing escheatment services. 
  

	Section 4.10	Withholding. 

 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Deposit Agreement to the
contrary, in the event that the Depositary determines that any distribution in property is subject to any tax or other charge, which the Depositary is obligated by applicable law to withhold, the Depositary may dispose of all or a portion of such
property in such amounts and in such manner as the Depositary deems necessary and practicable to pay such taxes or charges, by public or private sale, and Computershare shall distribute the net proceeds of any such sale or the balance of any such
property after deduction of such taxes or charges to the Holders of Receipts entitled thereto in proportion to the number of Depositary Shares held by them, respectively; provided, however, that in the event the Depositary determines that such
distribution of property is subject to withholding tax only with respect to some but not all Holders of Receipts, the Depositary will use its best efforts (i) to sell only that portion of such property distributable to such holders that is
required to generate sufficient proceeds to pay such withholding tax and (ii) to effect any such sale in such a manner so as to avoid affecting the rights of any other Holders of Receipts to receive such distribution in property. 

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. 

  
 12 








 The Depositary shall keep books at the Depositary’s Office for the registration and
registration of transfer of Receipts. Upon direction by the Corporation and with reasonable notice to the Depositary, the Depositary shall open its books for inspection by the Record Holders of Receipts as directed by the Corporation;
provided that any such Holder shall be granted such right by the Corporation only after certifying 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 necessary or advisable by the
Depositary, the Registrar, any Depositary’s Agent or the Corporation because of any requirement of law or of any government, governmental body or commission, stock exchange or any applicable self-regulatory body. 

The Depositary may, with the approval of the Corporation, 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 Series B Preferred Stock represented by such Depositary Shares shall be listed on one or more national securities exchanges, the Depositary may, with the written
approval of the Corporation, appoint a Registrar (acceptable to the Corporation) for registration of the 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 written request or with the written approval of the Corporation. If the Receipts, Depositary Shares or Series B Preferred Stock
are listed on one or more other securities exchanges, the Depositary will, at the written request and expense of the Corporation, arrange such facilities for the delivery, registration or registration of transfer, surrender and exchange of the
Receipts, Depositary Shares or Series B Preferred Stock as may be required by law or applicable securities exchange regulation. 
  

	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, as the case may be, shall incur any liability to
any Holder of a 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, as the case may be, by reason of any provision, present or future, of the Corporation’s Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended (including the Certificate of Designation), 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, any Transfer Agent, nor the Corporation, as the case may be, assumes
any obligation or shall be subject to any liability under this Deposit Agreement to Holders of Receipts or to any other Person other than for its gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith (each as determined by a final judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction). Notwithstanding anything in this Deposit Agreement to the contrary, excluding the Depositary’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith (each as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction), the aggregate liability of the Depositary, the Registrar, any Transfer Agent and any Depositary’s Agent under this Deposit Agreement with respect to, arising from or arising in connection with this Deposit Agreement, or from all
actions taken, suffered or omitted to be taken under this Deposit Agreement, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, is limited to, and shall not exceed, the amounts paid hereunder by the Corporation to the Depositary as fees and charges, but not
including reimbursable expenses. 

  
 13 








 Notwithstanding anything in this Deposit Agreement to the contrary, neither the Depositary, nor
the Depositary’s Agent nor any Registrar nor any Transfer Agent nor the Corporation, as the case may be, 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), even if they have been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. 

Neither the Depositary nor any Depositary’s Agent nor any Registrar nor any Transfer Agent nor the Corporation, as the case may be, shall
be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any action, suit or other proceeding in respect of the Series B Preferred 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 any Transfer Agent nor the Corporation, as the case may be, shall be liable for any action or any failure to act by it in reliance upon the written advice of legal counsel or accountants, or information
from any Person presenting the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock for deposit, any Holder of a Receipt or any other Person believed by it in the absence of bad faith to be competent to give such information. The Depositary, any Depositary’s
Agent, any Registrar, any Transfer Agent and the Corporation, as the case may be, 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, the Depositary’s Agents, any Transfer Agent or
Registrar, as the case may be, shall not be responsible for any failure to carry out any instruction to vote any of the shares of Series B Preferred 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 Depositary’s Agent, Registrar and Transfer Agent, as the case may be, shall be required to undertake and 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, any Depositary’s Agent, Registrar or any Transfer Agent. 

The Depositary, its parent, affiliate, or subsidiaries, any Depositary’s Agents, and any Transfer Agent and any Registrar, as the case
may be, may own and deal in any class of securities of the Corporation and its affiliates and in Receipts or Depositary Shares or become pecuniarily interested in any transaction in which the Corporation or its affiliates may be interested or
contract with or lend money to or otherwise act as fully or as freely as if it were not the Depositary, its parent affiliate or subsidiary of the Depositary or the Depositary’s Agent or Transfer Agent or Registrar hereunder. The Depositary may
also act as transfer agent, trustee or registrar of any of the securities of the Corporation and its affiliates or act in any other capacity for the Corporation or 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 Series B Preferred 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, the Depositary’s Agents, any Transfer Agent or Registrar, as the case may be, believes any ambiguity or
uncertainty exists hereunder or in any notice, instruction, direction, request or other communication, paper or document received by the Depositary, the Depositary’s Agents, any Transfer Agent or Registrar hereunder, or in the administration of
any of the provisions of this Deposit Agreement, the Depositary, the Depositary’s Agents, any Transfer Agent or Registrar 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, the Depositary’s Agents, any Transfer Agent or Registrar may, in its sole discretion upon providing written notice to the Corporation, refrain from taking any action and the Depositary, the
Depositary’s Agents, any Transfer Agent or Registrar 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, the Depositary’s Agents, any Transfer Agent or Registrar receives written instructions or a certificate signed by an officer of the Corporation which eliminates such ambiguity or uncertainty to the reasonable satisfaction of the
Depositary, the Depositary’s Agents, any Transfer Agent or Registrar or which proves or establishes the applicable matter to the reasonable satisfaction of the 

  
 14 








 
Depositary, the Depositary’s Agents, any Transfer Agent or Registrar. Such written instructions shall be full and complete authorization to the Depositary, the Depositary’s Agents, any
Transfer Agent or Registrar, as the case may be, and the Depositary, the Depositary’s Agents, any Transfer Agent or Registrar shall incur no liability for or in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this
Deposit Agreement in reliance upon such written instructions. 
 In the event the Depositary, the Depositary’s Agent, the Registrar or
the Transfer Agent, as the case may be, shall receive conflicting claims, requests or instructions from any Holders of Receipts, on the one hand, and the Corporation, on the other hand, the Depositary, the Depositary’s Agent, the Registrar or
the Transfer Agent, as the case may be, shall be entitled to act on such claims, requests or instructions received from the Corporation, and shall incur no liability and shall be entitled to the full indemnification set forth in Section 5.6
hereof in connection with any action so taken. 
 It is intended that the Depositary shall not be deemed to be an “issuer” of the
securities under the federal securities laws or applicable state securities laws, it being expressly understood and agreed that the Depositary is acting only in a ministerial capacity as Depositary for the deposited Series B Preferred Stock. The
Depositary will not be under any duty or responsibility to ensure compliance with any applicable federal or state securities laws in connection with the issuance, transfer or exchange of the Receipts, the shares of Series B Preferred Stock or
Depositary Shares. 
 Neither the Depositary (or its officers, directors, employees or agents), any Depositary’s Agent nor any
Registrar or any Transfer Agent makes any representation or has any responsibility as to the validity of any registration statement pursuant to which the Depositary Shares may be registered under the Securities Act, the deposited shares of Series B
Preferred Stock, the Depositary Shares, the Receipts (except its countersignature thereon) or any instruments referred to therein or herein, or as to the correctness of any statement made in any such registration statement or herein. 

The Depositary assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the description that appears in the Receipts. Notwithstanding any other
provision herein or in the Receipts, the Depositary makes no warranties or representations as to the validity or genuineness of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock at any time deposited with the Depositary hereunder or of the Depositary Shares,
as to the validity or sufficiency of this Deposit Agreement, as to the value of the Depositary Shares or as to any right, title or interest of the record holders of Receipts in and to the Depositary Shares. The Depositary shall not be accountable
for the use or application by the Corporation of the Depositary Shares or the Receipts or the proceeds thereof. 
 The Depositary,
Depositary’s Agent, any Registrar, and any Transfer Agent hereunder: 
 (i) shall have no duties or obligations other than those
specifically set forth herein (and no implied duties or obligations), or as may subsequently be agreed to in writing by the Depositary and the Corporation; 

(ii) shall have no obligation to make payment hereunder unless the Corporation shall have provided the necessary federal or other immediately
available funds or securities or property, as the case may be, to pay in full amounts due and payable with respect thereto; 
 (iii) shall
not be obligated to take any legal or other action hereunder; if, however, the Depositary determines to take any legal or other action hereunder, and, where the taking of such action might in the Depositary’s judgment subject or expose it to
any expense or liability, the Depositary shall not be required to act unless it shall have been furnished with an indemnity satisfactory to it; 

(iv) may rely on and shall be authorized and protected in acting or failing to act upon any certificate, instrument, opinion, notice, letter,
facsimile transmission or other document or security delivered to the Depositary and believed by the Depositary to be genuine and to have been signed by the proper party or parties, and shall have no responsibility for determining the accuracy
thereof; 

  
 15 








 (v) shall not be called upon at any time to advise any Person with respect to the shares of
Series B Preferred Stock or Receipts; 
 (vi) shall not be liable or responsible for any recital or statement contained in any documents
relating hereto or the shares of Series B Preferred Stock or Receipts; 
 (vii) shall not be liable in any respect on account of the
identity, authority or rights of the parties (other than with respect to the Depositary) executing or delivering or purporting to execute or deliver this Deposit Agreement or any documents or papers deposited or called for under this Deposit
Agreement; and 
 (viii) shall not be liable for any failures, delays or losses, arising directly or indirectly out of conditions beyond
their reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of government, exchange or market ruling, suspension of trading, work stoppages or labor disputes, civil disobedience, riots, rebellions, electrical or mechanical failure, computer
hardware or software failure, communications facilities failures including telephone failure, war, terrorism, insurrection, fires, earthquakes, storms, floods, acts of God or similar occurrences. 

From time to time, any officer of the Corporation may provide the Depositary with instructions concerning the services performed by the
Depositary under this Deposit Agreement, and the Depositary may rely on and shall be authorized and protected in acting or failing to act upon any written, telephonic, electronic and oral instructions of any such officer of the Corporation, with
respect to any matter relating to the Depositary’s actions as Depositary covered by this Deposit Agreement (or supplementing or qualifying any such actions). In addition, at any time, the Depositary may apply to any officer of the Corporation
for instruction, and may consult with legal counsel for the Depositary (who may be an employee of the Depositary) or the Corporation with respect to any matter arising in connection with the services to be performed by the Depositary under this
Deposit Agreement. The Depositary and its agents and subcontractors shall not be liable and shall be authorized and indemnified by the Corporation for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by the Depositary in accordance or reliance upon
any such Corporation instructions or upon the advice or opinion of such counsel. The Depositary shall not be held to have notice of any change of authority of any Person, until receipt of written notice thereof from the Corporation. 

The obligations of the Corporation set forth in this Section 5.3 shall survive the replacement, removal or resignation of the Depositary,
Registrar, Transfer Agent or Depositary’s Agent or termination of this Deposit Agreement. 
  

	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. 
 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 (i) an entity having its principal office in the United States of America and having a combined capital and surplus, along with its
affiliates, of at least $50,000,000 or (ii) an affiliate of any such entity. In the event of such removal or resignation, the Corporation will inform the Depositary of the name and address of any successor depositary so appointed, provided that
no failure by the Corporation to appoint such a successor depositary shall affect the termination of this Deposit Agreement or the discharge of the Depositary as depositary hereunder. 

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 

  
 16 








 
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 Series B Preferred 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 notice of its appointment to the Record Holders of Receipts at the Corporation’s sole expense. 
 Any
entity into or with which the Depositary may be merged, consolidated or converted, or any entity to which all or a substantial part of the assets of the Depositary may be transferred or which succeeds to the shareholder services business of the
Depositary shall be the successor of the 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 its own name as 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 of all necessary information and documents, transmit to the Record Holders of Receipts, in each case at the addresses recorded in the Depositary’s or Registrar’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 Series B Preferred Stock, the Depositary Shares or the Receipts are listed or by the
Corporation’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (including the Certificate of Designation), 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 in writing by the Corporation. Unless otherwise required by law, the requirements set forth in this Section 5.5 may be satisfied by publicly filing or furnishing such information with or to the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission. 
  

	Section 5.6	Indemnification by the Corporation. 

 Notwithstanding Section 5.3 to the
contrary, the Corporation shall indemnify the Depositary, any Depositary’s Agent, any Registrar and any Transfer Agent (including each of their officers, directors, agents and employees) against, and hold each of them harmless from, and against
any fee, loss, claim, damage, cost, penalty, fine, judgment, liability or expense (including the reasonable costs and expenses of its legal counsel) which may arise out of acts performed, taken, suffered or omitted to be taken in connection with
this Deposit Agreement (including, without limitation, the enforcement of any rights or protection under this Depositary 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 gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith (each as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) 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, Transfer Agent, or Depositary’s Agent or termination of this Deposit
Agreement. 
  

	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, Depositary’s Agent, Transfer Agent and Registrar hereunder and to reimburse the Depositary for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including
reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the Depositary Depositary’s Agent, Transfer Agent and Registrar without gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on its part (or on the part of any agent or Depositary’s Agent),
each as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction in connection with the services rendered by it (or 

  
 17 








 
such agent or Depositary’s Agent) hereunder. The Corporation shall pay all charges of the Depositary in connection with the initial deposit of the Series B Preferred Stock and the initial
issuance of the Depositary Shares, all withdrawals of shares of Series B Preferred Stock by owners of Depositary Shares, and any redemption or exchange of the Series B Preferred Stock at the option of the Corporation. The Corporation shall pay all
transfer and other taxes and charges arising solely from the existence of the depositary arrangements. All other transfer and other taxes and 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 against the Holders of Receipts unless such amendment shall have been approved by the Holders of Receipts representing in the aggregate at least a two-thirds of the Depositary Shares
then 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 Series B Preferred 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 securities exchange. As a condition precedent to the Depositary’s execution of any amendment, the Corporation shall deliver to the Depositary a certificate from an appropriate officer
of the Corporation that states that the proposed amendment is in compliance with the terms of this Section 6.1. 
  

	Section 6.2	Termination. 

 This Deposit Agreement may be terminated by the Corporation or the
Depositary only if (i) all outstanding Depositary Shares issued hereunder have been redeemed pursuant to Section 2.8, (ii) there shall have been made a final distribution in respect of the Series B Preferred Stock in connection
with any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation and such distribution shall have been distributed to the Holders of Receipts representing Depositary Shares pursuant to Section 4.1 or 4.2, as applicable or
(iii) upon the consent of Holders of Receipts representing in the aggregate not less than two-thirds of the Depositary Shares outstanding. 

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; provided further that Section 5.3 and 5.6 shall survive the termination of this Deposit Agreement.
