Execution and Delivery, Transfer, Surrender
and Redemption of

Receipts


 


2.1            Form and
Transfer of Receipts.


 


The definitive Receipts shall be substantially
in the form set forth in Exhibit A attached to this Deposit 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 without the Depositary’s consent). 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 the Depositary’s Office or at such other place or places as the Depositary shall
determine, 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(s); provided that, the Depositary has been provided with all necessary information
that it may request in order to execute and deliver such definitive Receipt(s). 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 Deposit Agreement, and with respect to the Preferred Stock, as definitive Receipts.


 


Any Receipt to be executed by the Depositary
pursuant to this Deposit Agreement shall be executed 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 the facsimile signature of 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 the 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 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 Receipt is subject (but which do not affect the rights, duties, obligations or immunities of the Depositary
as set forth in this Deposit Agreement without the Depositary’s consent).

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 if such Receipt were 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.


 


The Corporation shall cause to be provided
an opinion of counsel containing opinions, or a letter of counsel to the Corporation authorizing reliance on such counsel’s
opinions delivered to the underwriters named therein, relating to (i) the status of the Preferred Stock and Depositary Shares
as validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and (ii) the registration of the Depositary Shares and Preferred Stock under
the Securities Act.


 


2.2            Deposit
of the 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 the Preferred Stock under this Deposit Agreement by
delivery to the Depositary, including via electronic book-entry, of the shares of Preferred Stock to be deposited (or in such other
manner as may be agreed to by the Corporation and the Depositary), duly endorsed and accompanied, if required by the Depositary,
by a duly executed instrument of transfer or endorsement, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Depositary, together with all
such certifications as may be required by the Depositary pursuant to this Deposit Agreement, and together with a written order
of the Corporation directing the Depositary to (i) register such shares of the Preferred Stock in uncertificated form by direct
registration, and (ii) 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 shares of the Preferred
Stock.


 


The shares of the Preferred Stock that
are deposited pursuant to this Deposit Agreement 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 shares of the Preferred Stock
deposited hereunder.


 


Upon receipt by the Depositary of shares of
the Preferred Stock deposited in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.2, together with the other documents required
as above specified, and upon recordation of the shares of the 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 2.2, a Receipt or Receipts evidencing in the aggregate the number
of Depositary Shares representing the shares of the 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.

2.3            Registration
of Transfer of Receipts.


 


Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Deposit Agreement, the Depositary, as Transfer Agent and Registrar for the Receipts, 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 or endorsement, including a guarantee of the signature thereon by a guarantor institution
that is a participant in a signature guarantee program approved by the Securities Transfer Association (a “Signature Guarantee”).
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 (i) to
issue, transfer or exchange any Receipts for a period beginning at the opening of business fifteen (15) days next preceding any
selection of Depositary Shares and Preferred Stock to be redeemed and ending at the close of business on the day of the sending
of notice of redemption, or (ii) 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.


 


2.4            Split-ups
and Combinations of Receipts; Surrender of Receipts and Withdrawal of the 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; provided, however, that the Depositary shall not issue any Receipt evidencing a fractional
Depositary Share.


 


Any Holder of a Receipt or Receipts may withdraw
the number of whole shares of the 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 Preferred Stock (or money and other
property, if any, represented thereby) which has previously been called for redemption. After such surrender and upon the receipt
of written instructions from the Holder of such Receipt or Receipts, without unreasonable delay (provided the Corporation has provided
the Depositary with all necessary documentation), 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 the 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 the Preferred Stock
will not thereafter be entitled to deposit such shares of the Preferred Stock hereunder or to receive a Receipt evidencing Depositary
Shares therefor. Delivery of such shares of the Preferred Stock and such money and other property being withdrawn may be made by
the delivery of such certificates, documents of title and other instruments as the Depositary may deem appropriate, which, if required
by the Depositary, shall be properly endorsed or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer. 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 the Preferred Stock to be withdrawn, the Depositary shall at the same time, in
addition to such number of whole shares of the 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.


 






    		-6-	 



     


    

 


In no event will fractional shares of the
Preferred Stock (or any cash payment in lieu thereof) be delivered by the Depositary. Delivery of shares of the 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 shares of the 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 shares of the 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 the Preferred Stock be properly endorsed in blank or accompanied by a properly
executed instrument of transfer in blank.


 


Delivery of shares of the 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.


 


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
Preferred Stock being deposited or withdrawn or any charges or expense pursuant to Section 3.2), (ii) the production
of 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 requirements, if any, as the Depositary or the Corporation may establish consistent with the provisions of this Deposit
Agreement and/or applicable law.


 






    		-7-	 



     


    

 


The deposit of shares of the Preferred Stock
may be refused, the delivery of Receipts against shares of the 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.


 


2.6            Lost
Receipts, etc.


 


In case any Receipt shall be mutilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen, the Depositary in its discretion may, absent notice to the Depositary that such Receipt has been acquired by a
bona fide purchaser, 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, only 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
open penalty surety bond or other indemnity satisfactory to the Depositary. Such Holder shall also comply with such other reasonable
regulations and pay such other reasonable charges as the Depositary may prescribe.


 


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.

2.8            Redemption
of the Preferred Stock.


 


Whenever the Corporation shall be permitted
and shall elect to redeem shares of the Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designations, it shall
(unless otherwise agreed to in writing with the Depositary) give or cause to be given to the Depositary, not less than thirty-five
(35) days and not more than sixty (60) days prior to the Redemption Date (as defined below), notice of the date of such proposed
redemption of shares of the Preferred Stock and of the number of such shares held by the Depositary to be so redeemed and the applicable
redemption price, which notice shall be accompanied by a certificate from the Corporation stating that such redemption of shares
of the Preferred 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 Computershare the redemption price of $1,000
per share of the Preferred Stock to be redeemed, plus an amount equal to any declared and unpaid dividends thereon to the date
fixed for redemption to be redeemed, in accordance with the provisions of the Certificate of Designations, the Depositary shall
redeem the number of Depositary Shares representing such shares of the Preferred Stock. The Depositary shall, if requested in writing
and provided with all necessary information, transmit the notice of the Corporation’s redemption of shares of the Preferred
Stock and the proposed simultaneous redemption of the number of Depositary Shares representing such shares of the Preferred Stock
to be redeemed by first-class mail, postage prepaid, at the respective last addresses as they appear on the records of the Depositary,
or transmit by such other method approved by the Depositary, in its reasonable discretion, in either case not less than thirty
(30) days and not more than sixty (60) days prior to the date fixed for redemption of such shares of the Preferred 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 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. 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 redemption price; (iv) the place or places where Receipts
evidencing such Depositary Shares are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price; and (v) that dividends in respect
of the Preferred Stock represented by such 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 or by lot or in such other manner as the Corporation may determine to be fair and equitable (which determination
the Corporation will promptly notify the Depositary in writing). In any such case, the Depositary Shares shall only be redeemed
in increments of 40 shares and any integral multiple thereof.


 


Notice having been mailed or transmitted by
the Depositary as aforesaid, from and after the Redemption Date (unless the Corporation shall have failed to provide the funds
necessary to redeem shares of the Preferred Stock evidenced by the Depositary Shares called for redemption) (i) all dividends
on the shares of the Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall cease to accrue from and after such date; (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) 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 one-fortieth
(1/40th) of the redemption price per share of the Preferred Stock so redeemed plus all money and other property, if any, represented
by such Depositary Shares, including all amounts paid by the Corporation in respect of dividends which on the Redemption Date have
been declared on the shares of the Preferred Stock to be so redeemed and have not theretofore been paid (it being understood that,
in accordance with the provisions of the Certificate of Designations, any declared but unpaid dividends payable on a Redemption
Date that occurs subsequent to the record date fixed pursuant to Section 4.4 for a dividend period shall not be paid to the
Holder of a Receipt entitled to receive the redemption price on the Redemption Date, but rather shall be paid to the Holder of
such Receipt on such record date).


 






    		-9-	 



     


    

 


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; provided, however, that the Depositary shall not issue any Receipt evidencing a fractional
Depositary Share.


 


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, 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, which (i) shall
represent, and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate number of Depositary Shares 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. Unless and until definitive Receipts are delivered
to the owners of the beneficial interests in a Global Registered Receipt, (i) 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 (ii) 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 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
terms in an aggregate number of Depositary Shares equal to the aggregate number of Depositary Shares represented by 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.


 






    		-10-	 



     


    

 


Definitive registered Receipts issued in exchange
for a Global Registered Receipt pursuant to this Section 2.9 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.


 


2.10            Receipt

All funds received by Computershare under
this Deposit Agreement that are to be distributed or applied by Computershare in the performance of Services (the “Funds”)
shall be held by Computershare as agent for the Corporation and deposited in one or more bank accounts to be maintained by Computershare
in its name as agent for the Corporation. Until paid pursuant to this Deposit Agreement, Computershare may hold or invest the Funds
through such accounts in: (i) obligations of, or guaranteed by, the United States of America, (ii) commercial paper obligations
rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Standard & Poor’s Corporation (“S&P”) or Moody’s Investors

above investment grade by S&P (LT Local Issuer Credit Rating), Moody’s (Long Term Rating) and Fitch Ratings, Inc.
(LT Issuer Default Rating) (each as reported by Bloomberg Finance L.P.). The Corporation shall have no responsibility or liability
for any diminution of the Funds that may result from any deposit or investment made by Computershare in accordance with this paragraph,
except for any losses resulting from a default by any bank, financial institution or other third party. Computershare may from
time to time receive interest, dividends or other earnings in connection with such deposits or investments. Computershare shall

Receipts and the Corporation


 


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 withhold or delay
the withdrawal of shares of the Preferred Stock represented by the Depositary Shares and evidenced by a Receipt or the distribution

    		-11-	 



     


    

 


3.2            Payment
of Taxes or Other Governmental Charges.


 


Holders of Receipts shall be obligated to
make payments to the Depositary of certain taxes, charges and expenses, as provided in Section 5.7. Registration of transfer
of any Receipt or any withdrawal of shares of the 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 shares of the 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, with the Holder of such Receipt remaining
liable for any deficiency.


 


3.3            Warranty
as to the Preferred Stock.


 


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


 


3.4            Warranty
as to Receipts.


 


The Corporation hereby represents and warrants
that the Receipts, when issued, will represent legal and valid interests in shares of the Preferred Stock. Such representation

ARTICLE IV

The Deposited Securities; Notices


 


4.1            Cash
Distributions.


 


Whenever Computershare shall receive any
cash dividend or other cash distribution on the Preferred Stock, Computershare shall, subject to Sections 3.1 and 3.2 and, if
received, in accordance with written instructions from the Corporation, 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 Computershare shall be required to withhold and shall withhold from any
cash dividend or other cash distribution in respect of the 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, if received, 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 Computershare 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 or other appropriate form, 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 Depositary of a portion of any of the distributions to be made to such
Holder hereunder.


 






    		-12-	 



     


    

 


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 Preferred 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 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 (with the approval of 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, or 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 have been registered under the Securities Act or do not need to be registered in connection with such distributions.


 


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 shares of the 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 and made available by the Depositary to the Record Holders of Receipts in such manner as the Corporation shall
direct 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
acknowledgement 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 Corporation, in its discretion (with acknowledgement of the Depositary, in
any case where the Corporation 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 be delivered to Computershare and, if received, in accordance with the
written instructions of the Corporation and, subject to Sections 3.1 and 3.2, be distributed by Computershare to the Record
Holders of Receipts entitled thereto as provided by Section 4.1 in the case of a distribution received in cash.


 






    		-13-	 



     


    

 


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 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 (i) the offering and sale of such securities to the Holders are exempt from registration under the provisions
of the Securities Act, and (ii) such securities are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.


 


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.


 


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 Preferred Stock, or whenever the Depositary shall receive notice of any
meeting at which holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to vote or of which holders of the 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 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.


 






    		-14-	 



     


    

 


4.5            Voting
Rights.


 


Subject to the provisions of the Certificate
of Designations, upon receipt of notice from the Corporation of any meeting at which the holders of the 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 Depositary, in its reasonable discretion, to the Record Holders
of Receipts, as determined on the record date fixed pursuant to 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 shares of the 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 the 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 shares of the Preferred Stock or cause such shares to
be voted. In the absence of specific instructions from Holders of Receipts, the Depositary will not vote (but, at its discretion,
may appear at any meeting with respect to the Preferred Stock unless directed to the contrary by the Holders of all the Receipts)
to the extent of the shares of the Preferred Stock represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipts. The Depositary
shall not be required to exercise discretion in voting any Preferred Stock represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such
Receipt.


 


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


 


Upon any change in liquidation
preference, split-up, combination or any other reclassification of the Preferred Stock, subject to the provisions of the
Certificate of Designations, 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 (a) the fraction of an interest
represented by one Depositary Share in one share of the Preferred Stock and (b) the ratio of the redemption price per
Depositary Share to the redemption price per share of the Preferred Stock, in each case as stated in such instructions 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 Preferred Stock as new deposited securities or property so received in exchange for or
upon conversion or in respect of such 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 securities or 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 liquidation preference, split-up, combination or other reclassification of the Preferred Stock or any such
recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation to surrender such Receipts to the Depositary with instructions to
convert, exchange or surrender the shares of the 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 shares of the Preferred Stock
represented by such Receipts might have been converted or for which such shares might have been exchanged or surrendered
immediately prior to the effective date of such transaction; provided, that the Depositary shall not have any obligations
under this sentence unless and until it has received written instructions from the Corporation.

Promptly upon request from time to time by
the Corporation, the Registrar shall furnish to it a list, as of the most recent practicable date, of the names, addresses and

Agents, The Registrar and the Corporation


 


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


 


The Corporation hereby appoints Computershare
and Trust Company to jointly act as Depositary in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, and Computershare and Trust
Company jointly accept this appointment.


 


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.


 






    		-16-	 



     


    

 



 


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 Registrar shall, at reasonable times during regular business hours, open its books for inspection by the
Record Holders of Receipts as directed by the Corporation; provided that any record 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 or Registrar 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.


 


If the Receipts or the Depositary Shares evidenced
thereby or the shares of the 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, such Depositary Shares
or the 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, registration of transfer, surrender and exchange of
such Receipts, such Depositary Shares or the Preferred Stock as may be required by law or applicable securities exchange regulation.


 


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 any Transfer Agent nor the Corporation, as the case may be, shall incur any liability to any Holder
of Receipts or any beneficial owner, 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 or any Transfer Agent, as the case may be, by reason of any provision, present or future, of the Corporation’s
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (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,
the Transfer Agent or the Corporation, as the case may be, 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, any Transfer Agent or the Corporation, as the case may be, incur liability to any Holder of a Receipt or
any beneficial owner (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.

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


 


The Corporation does not assume any obligation
and shall not be subject to any liability under this Deposit Agreement or any Receipt to holders of Receipts other than for its
gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith (each as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction). Neither the Depositary nor any Depositary’s Agent nor any Registrar or Transfer Agent, as the case may be,
assumes any obligation or shall be subject to any liability under this Deposit Agreement to Holders of Receipts, the Corporation
or to any other Person other than for its gross negligence, willful misconduct, or bad faith (each as determined by a final non-appealable
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). 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. Any liability of the Depositary, any Depositary’s Agent or the Registrar or Transfer Agent, as the
case may be, under this Deposit Agreement will be limited in the aggregate to an amount equal to the annual fees paid by the Corporation
to such Person, but not including reimbursable expenses; provided, however, that in the event that such liability arises as a result
of bad faith, willful misconduct or fraud by the Depositary, any of the Depositary’s Agents (except for such Depositary’s
Agents which are not employees of the Depositary), any Registrar or any Transfer Agent, as the case may be, through fraud or willful
misconduct on the part of such Depositary, agent, Registrar or Transfer Agent, as the case may be (each as determined by a final
non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), such limit shall not apply and such liability hereunder shall be
instead limited to the amount of such misappropriated funds or the liability resulting from such bad faith, willful misconduct
or fraud.


 


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 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 Preferred Stock for deposit, any Holder of a Receipt or any other Person believed by it in the absence of bad faith,
gross negligence, or willful misconduct (each as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction)
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 respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted
to be taken by it upon any written notice, request, direction or other document believed by it in the absence of bad faith, gross
negligence, or willful misconduct (each as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction),
to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.


 






    	 	 -18-	 



     


    

 


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 the 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, willful misconduct or gross negligence (each as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court
of competent jurisdiction). The Depositary undertakes, and any Depositary’s Agent, Registrar and any Transfer Agent, as the
case may be, 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, any
Depositary’s Agent, Registrar or any Transfer Agent.


 


The Depositary, its parent, Affiliates, 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, the 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 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 of the Corporation which eliminates such ambiguity or uncertainty to the satisfaction of the Depositary, the Depositary’s
Agents, any Transfer Agent or Registrar or which proves or establishes the applicable matter to the satisfaction of the 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.


 






    	 	 -19-	 



     


    

 


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
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 Preferred Stock or Depositary
Shares.


 


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 the 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 (except as to due authorization and due execution by the Depositary), 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.


 


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 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; provided that the Depositary is responsible for any and all of its representations in this Deposit Agreement.


 


The Depositary, any Depositary’s Agent,
Transfer Agent, and Registrar 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 parties;


 






    	 	 -20-	 



     


    

 


(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, telegram, telex, 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;


 


(v) may
rely on and shall be authorized and protected in acting or omitting to act upon the written, telephonic, electronic and oral
instructions given in accordance with this Deposit Agreement, with respect to any matter relating to its actions as
Depositary, Transfer Agent or Registrar covered by this Deposit Agreement (or supplementing or qualifying any such actions),
of officers of the Corporation;


 


(vi) may
consult counsel satisfactory to it, and the advice of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in
respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by the Depositary hereunder in accordance with the advice of such
counsel;


 


(vii) except
as specifically set forth herein, shall not be called upon at any time to advise any Person with respect to the Preferred
Stock, Depositary Shares or Receipts;


 


(viii) shall
not be liable or responsible for any recital or statement contained in any documents relating hereto or to the Preferred Stock,
the Depositary Shares or Receipts (except its countersignature hereof and thereof);


 


(ix) shall
not be liable in any respect on account of the identity, authority or rights of the parties (other than 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


 


(x) shall not be liable for any delays
or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control including, without limitation, acts of God, terrorist acts, shortage
of supply, pandemics, epidemics, breakdowns or malfunctions, interruptions or malfunction of computer facilities, or loss of data
due to power failures or mechanical difficulties with information storage or retrieval systems, labor difficulties, war, or civil
unrest.

The terms of this Section 5.3 shall survive
the replacement, removal or resignation of any Depositary, Registrar, Transfer Agent or Depositary’s Agent or termination
of this Deposit Agreement.


 


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 sixty (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) a Person 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 Person. If no successor Depositary shall have been so appointed and
have accepted appointment within sixty (60) days after delivery of such notice, the resigning or removed Depositary may, at
the Corporation’s expense, 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 shares of the
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 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 Person into or with which the Depositary
may be merged, consolidated or converted, or any Person 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.


 






    	 	 -22-	 



     


    

 


The removal or resignation of the Depositary
shall automatically be deemed to be a removal of the Depositary as Registrar and Transfer Agent herein without any further act
or deed.


  


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 Preferred Stock, the Depositary Shares or the Receipts are listed or by the Corporation’s
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (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 in writing by the Corporation.


 


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, damage,
cost, penalty, fine, judgment, liability or expense (including the reasonable costs and expenses of its legal counsel) which may
arise out of actions taken, suffered or omitted to be taken in connection with its acting as Depositary, Depositary’s Agent,
Registrar or Transfer Agent, respectively, under this Deposit Agreement (including, without limitation, the enforcement by the
Depositary, Depositary’s Agent, Registrar or Transfer Agent, as the case may be, of this Deposit Agreement) and the Receipts
by the Depositary, any Transfer Agent, any Registrar or any of their respective agents (including any Depositary’s Agent),
except for any liability arising out of gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith (each as determined by a final non-appealable
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) on the respective parts of any such Person or Persons. The obligations of the Corporation
and the rights of the Depositary set forth in this Section 5.6 shall survive the termination of this Deposit Agreement and
any resignation, replacement, removal, or succession of any Depositary, Registrar, Transfer Agent or Depositary’s Agent.


 






    	 	 -23-	 



     


    

 


5.7            Fees,
Charges and Expenses.


 


The Corporation agrees promptly to pay the
Depositary the compensation, as separately agreed upon with the Corporation, in accordance with such agreed upon terms, 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, bad faith (each as determined by a final non-appealable
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) on its part in connection with the services rendered by it (or any agent of the
Depositary) hereunder. The Corporation shall pay all charges of the Depositary in connection with the initial deposit of shares
of the Preferred Stock and the initial issuance of the Depositary Shares, all withdrawals of shares of the Preferred Stock by owners
of Depositary Shares, and any redemption or exchange of shares of the 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.


 


5.8            Tax
Compliance.


 


The Depositary, on its own behalf and on behalf
of the Corporation, will comply with all applicable certification, information reporting, and withholding (including “backup
withholding”) requirements imposed by applicable tax laws, regulations, or administrative practice with respect to (i) any
payments made with respect to the Depositary Shares or (ii) the issuance, delivery, holding, transfer, redemption, or exercise
of rights under the Receipts or the Depositary Shares. Such compliance shall include, without limitation, the preparation and timely
filing of required returns and the timely payment of all amounts required to be withheld to the appropriate taxing authority or
its designated agent. The Depositary shall comply with any direction received from the Corporation with respect to the application
of such requirements to particular payments or holders or in other particular circumstances and may, for purposes of this Deposit
Agreement, rely on any such direction in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.3 hereof. The Depositary shall maintain
all appropriate records documenting compliance with such requirements, and shall make such records available on request to the
Corporation or to its authorized representatives.


 


ARTICLE VI

Amendment and Termination


 


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 (other than
any change in the fees of any Depositary, Registrar or Transfer Agent) 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 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 shares
of the 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 executed by a duly authorized officer of the Corporation that states that the proposed amendment is in compliance
with the terms of this Section 6.1.

6.2            Termination.


 


This Deposit Agreement may be terminated
by the Corporation at any time upon not less than sixty (60) days prior written notice to the Depositary, in which case, at
least thirty (30) days prior to the date fixed in such notice for such termination, the Depositary will mail or otherwise
transmit 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 of the Receipts 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 the Preferred Stock, and shall
continue to deliver the Preferred Stock and any money and other property, if any, represented by Receipts upon surrender
thereof by the Holders of Receipts thereof. At any time after the expiration of two years from the date of termination, as
may be instructed by the Corporation in writing, the Depositary shall (i) sell the shares of the Preferred 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, or (ii) return such shares of Preferred Stock to the Corporation. 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. The Depositary shall continue to receive its fees and expenses and shall continue to be
entitled to its protections set forth herein after termination of this Deposit Agreement so long as the Depositary continues
to provide services in connection with this Deposit Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 6.2 shall impede the
Depositary’s right to resign under this Deposit Agreement.


 


Subject to the first paragraph of this Section 6.2,
this Deposit Agreement may be terminated by the Corporation or the Depositary only if (i) all outstanding Depositary Shares
have been redeemed pursuant to Section 2.8; (ii) there shall have been made a final distribution in respect of the 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.


 






    	 	 -25-	 



     


    

 


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, any Transfer Agent and any Registrar under Sections 5.3, 5.6 and 5.7 (including as to any services
of the Depositary, any Depositary’s Agent and any Registrar that are necessary following and in connection with the termination
of this Deposit Agreement); provided further that Sections 5.3, 5.6 and 5.7 shall survive the termination of this Deposit
Agreement.
