  Section 2.03.           Book-Entry System; Form and Transfer of Receipts. The Corporation and the Depositary shall make application to The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) for acceptance of all of the Receipts for its book-entry settlement system. The Corporation hereby appoints the Depositary acting through any authorized officer thereof as its attorney-in-fact, with full power
    to delegate, for purposes of executing any agreements, certifications or other instruments or documents necessary or desirable in order to effect the acceptance of such Receipts for DTC eligibility. So long as the Receipts are eligible for book-entry
    settlement with DTC, unless otherwise required by law, all Depositary Shares with book-entry settlement through DTC shall be represented by a single receipt or receipts (the “DTC Receipt”), which shall be
    deposited with DTC (or its designee) evidencing all such Depositary Shares and registered in the name of the nominee of DTC (initially Cede & Co.). The Depositary or such other entity as is agreed to by DTC may hold the DTC Receipt as custodian for

    and delivered under this Agreement is initially limited to 34,500,000, except for Receipts executed and delivered in respect of Depositary Shares upon registration or transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of other Receipts pursuant to Section
      2.06, Section 2.07 or Section 4.06.

  

  

  The DTC Receipt shall be exchangeable for Physical Receipts only if (i) DTC notifies the Corporation at any time that it is unwilling or unable to continue to make its book-entry settlement system available for the
    Receipts and a successor to DTC is not appointed by the Corporation within 90 days of the date the Corporation is so notified or (ii) DTC ceases to be registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act and a successor to DTC is not appointed by the
    Corporation within 90 days The Corporation shall provide written notice to the Depositary upon receipt of notice of the occurrence of any event described in clause (i) or clause (ii) of the preceding sentence. Until such written notice is received by
    the Depositary, the Depositary may presume conclusively for all purposes that the events described in clause (i) and clause (ii) of the first sentence of this paragraph have not occurred. If the beneficial owners of interests in Depositary Shares are
    entitled to exchange such interests for Physical Receipts as the result of an event described in clause (i) or clause (ii) of the first sentence of this paragraph, then without unnecessary delay, the Depositary shall provide written instructions to DTC
    to deliver the DTC Receipt to the Depositary for cancellation, and, without unnecessary delay, the Corporation shall instruct the Depositary to deliver to the beneficial owners of the Depositary Shares previously evidenced by the DTC Receipt Physical
    Receipts evidencing such Depositary Shares.

  

  

  Physical Receipts issued in exchange for all or a part of the DTC Receipt pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as DTC, pursuant to instructions from
    its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Depositary. Upon execution and authentication, the Depositary shall deliver such Physical Receipts to the Persons or entities in whose names such Physical Receipts are so registered.

  

  

  At such time as all interests in a DTC Receipt have been converted, redeemed, canceled, surrendered or transferred, such DTC Receipt shall be, upon receipt thereof, canceled by the Depositary in accordance with standing
    procedures and existing instructions between DTC and DTC’s custodian. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any interest in a DTC Receipt is exchanged for Physical Receipts, converted, redeemed, canceled, surrendered or transferred to a transferee
    who receives Physical Receipts therefor or any Physical Receipt is exchanged or transferred for part of such DTC Receipt, the number of Depositary Shares evidenced by such DTC Receipt shall, in accordance with the standing procedures and instructions
    existing between DTC and DTC’s custodian, be appropriately reduced or increased, as the case may be, and an endorsement shall be made on such DTC Receipt, by the Depositary or DTC’s custodian, at the direction of the Depositary, to reflect such
    reduction or increase.

  

  

  
    4

    
      


  

  Beneficial owners of Depositary Shares through DTC shall not receive or be entitled to receive Physical Receipts or be entitled to have Depositary Shares registered in their name, except as described in the third
    immediately preceding paragraph, in which case the provisions set forth in such paragraph and the second immediately succeeding paragraph regarding the issuance of Physical Receipts shall apply.

  

  

  Receipts shall be in denominations of any number of whole Depositary Shares. The Corporation shall deliver to the Depositary from time to time such quantities of Receipts as the Depositary may reasonably request to enable
    the Depositary to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

  

  

  The DTC Receipt and Physical Receipts, if any, shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A annexed to this Agreement and incorporated herein by reference, with appropriate insertions, modifications
    and omissions, as hereinafter provided and shall be engraved or otherwise prepared so as to comply with the applicable rules of The New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) or any other securities exchange on which
    the Depositary Shares are then listed, if applicable. In the event the DTC Receipt becomes exchangeable for Physical Receipts as provided in this Section 2.03, the Depositary, pending preparation of Physical Receipts and upon the written order
    of the Corporation, delivered in compliance with Section 2.04, shall execute and deliver temporary Receipts, which may be printed, lithographed or otherwise substantially of the tenor of the Physical 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 Physical Receipts to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of Physical Receipts, the temporary Receipts shall be exchangeable by the Record Holder for Physical Receipts upon surrender of the temporary
    Receipts at the Depositary’s Office or such other place or places as the Depositary shall determine pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 2.04, without charge to the Record Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more
    temporary Receipts, the Depositary shall execute and deliver in exchange therefor Physical Receipts representing the same number of Depositary Shares as represented by the surrendered temporary Receipt or Receipts. Such exchange shall be made at the
    Corporation’s expense and without any charge therefor to the Record Holder or the Depositary. Until so exchanged, the temporary Receipts shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as Physical Receipts.

  

  

  Receipts shall be executed by the Depositary by the manual or facsimile signature of a duly authorized officer thereof; provided that if a Registrar for the Receipts (other than
    the Depositary) shall have been appointed, then such Receipts shall be countersigned by manual or facsimile signature of a duly authorized officer of the Registrar. No Receipt shall be entitled to any benefits under this Agreement or be valid or
    obligatory for any purpose unless it shall have been executed as provided in the preceding sentence. The Depositary shall record on its books each Receipt so signed and delivered as hereinafter provided. Receipts bearing the manual or facsimile
    signature of a duly authorized signatory of the Depositary who was at any time a proper signatory of the Depositary shall bind the Depositary, notwithstanding that such signatory ceased to hold such office prior to the execution and delivery of such
    Receipts by the Registrar or did not hold such office on the date of issuance of such Receipts.

  

  

  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 Agreement, all as may be required by the Corporation or required to
    comply with any applicable law or any regulation thereunder or with the rules and regulations of the NYSE or any other securities exchange upon which the Mandatory Convertible 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.

  

  

  Title to Depositary Shares evidenced by a Receipt that is properly endorsed, or accompanied by a properly executed instrument of transfer, shall be transferable by delivery with the same effect as in the case of a
    negotiable instrument; provided, however, that until transfer of any particular Receipt shall be registered on the books of the Depositary as provided in Section 2.06, the Depositary may,
    notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, treat the Record Holder thereof at such time as the absolute owner thereof (x) for the purpose of determining the Person (i) entitled to distributions of dividends or other distributions of securities, cash
    or other property or payments with respect to the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (including, without limitation, upon conversion of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock), (ii) entitled to exercise any voting, or conversion rights with
    respect to the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and (iii) entitled to receive any notice provided for in this Agreement and (y) for all other purposes.

  Section 2.04.           Deposit of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock; Execution and Delivery of Receipts. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Corporation
    may from time to time deposit shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock under this Agreement by delivery to the Depositary of a certificate or certificates for such shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock to be deposited, properly
    endorsed or accompanied, if required by the Depositary, by a duly executed instrument of transfer or endorsement, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Depositary, together with:

  

  

  (a)           all such certifications as may be reasonably required by the Depositary in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, including the resolutions of the Board of Directors, as certified by the Secretary
    or any Assistant Secretary of the Corporation on the date thereof as being complete, accurate and in effect, relating to the issuance and sale and/or deposit of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock; and

  

  

  (b)           a written order of the Corporation, directing the Depositary to execute and deliver to the Person or Persons stated in such order a Receipt or Receipts for the number of Depositary Shares representing such
    deposited Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock.

  

  

  Deposited Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock shall be held by the Depositary at the Depositary’s Office or at such other place or places as the Depositary shall determine.

  

  

  Upon receipt by the Depositary of a certificate or certificates for Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock deposited in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.04, together with the other documents required
    as above specified, and upon recordation of the Mandatory Convertible 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 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 2.04, a Receipt or Receipts
    evidencing in the aggregate the number of Depositary Shares representing the Mandatory Convertible 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, at the request of such Person or Persons, such other offices, if any, as the Depositary may designate. Delivery at other offices shall be at the risk and expense of the Person or Persons
    requesting such delivery.

  

  

  Section 2.05.           No Redemption of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock. The Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and the Depositary Receipts shall not be subject to
    redemption. The Corporation may, to the extent permitted by law, and directly or indirectly, repurchase Receipts with respect to lots of 20 Depositary Shares or integral multiples thereof in the open market or otherwise, whether directly, through its
    Subsidiaries or through a private or public tender or exchange offer or through counterparties to private agreements.

  

  

  Section 2.06.           Registration of Transfer of Receipts. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Depositary shall register on its books from time to time
    transfers of Receipts upon any surrender thereof by a Record Holder in person or by its duly authorized attorney, properly endorsed or accompanied by a properly executed instrument of transfer, including a guarantee of the signature thereon by a
    participant in a signature guarantee medallion program approved by the Securities Transfer Association, Inc. (the “Signature Guarantee”). Thereupon, the Depositary shall, without unreasonable delay, 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.

  

  

  Section 2.07.           Split-ups and Combinations of Receipts; Surrender of Receipts and Withdrawal of Mandatory Convertible 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 subject to the terms and conditions of this 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 Record Holder of the Receipt or Receipts so surrendered.

  

  

  
    6

    
      


  

  Any Record Holder of a Receipt or Receipts may withdraw the number of whole shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and all money and/or other property represented thereby by (x) in the case of Physical Receipt(s),
    surrendering such Receipt(s), or Depositary Shares represented by the Receipts, at the Depositary’s Office or at such other offices as the Depositary may designate for such withdrawals and (y) in the case of a DTC Receipt, by complying with the
    appropriate DTC procedures for such withdrawal.   Thereafter, without unreasonable delay, the Depositary shall deliver to such Record Holder, or to the Person or Persons designated by such Record Holder as hereinafter provided, the number of whole
    shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and all money and/or other property represented by such Receipt(s), or Depositary Shares represented by such Receipt(s), representing the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock subject to withdrawal, but
    Record Holders receiving such whole shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock shall not thereafter be entitled to deposit such Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock hereunder or to receive a Receipt evidencing Depositary Shares therefor. If a
    Physical Receipt delivered by the Record 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 Mandatory
    Convertible Preferred Stock to be withdrawn, the Depositary shall at the same time, in addition to such number of whole shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and such money and/or other property to be so withdrawn, deliver to such Record
    Holder, or subject to Section 2.06 upon its order, a new Physical Receipt evidencing such excess number of Depositary Shares; provided, however, that such Physical Receipt shall only represent a whole
    number of Depositary Shares and the Depositary shall not issue any Physical Receipt evidencing a fractional Depositary Share.

  

  

  Delivery of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and money and/or 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 including, but not limited to, a Signature Guarantee.

  

  

  If the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and the money and/or other property 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 Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, such Record Holder shall execute and deliver to the Depositary a written order so directing the Depositary, and the Depositary may require that the Physical Receipt(s) surrendered by such
    Record Holder for withdrawal of such shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock be properly endorsed in blank or accompanied by a properly executed instrument of transfer in blank.

  

  

  Delivery of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and the money and/or other property 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 Record Holder surrendering such Receipt or Receipts and for the account of the Record Holder thereof, such delivery may be made at such other place as may be designated by such Record Holder.

  

  

  A Record Holder who withdraws shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and any such money and/or other property shall not be required to pay any taxes or duties relating to the issuance or delivery of such shares of
    Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and any such money and/or other property, except that such Record Holder shall be required to pay any tax or duty that may be payable relating to any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of such shares of
    Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and any such money and/or other property in a name other than the name of such Record Holder.

  

  

  Section 2.08.           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, any of the Depositary, any Depositary’s Agent and the Corporation may require (a) payment to it of a sum sufficient for the payment (or, in the event that the Depositary or the
    Corporation shall have made such payment, the reimbursement to it) of any charges or expenses payable by the Record Holder of a Receipt pursuant to Sections 3.02 and 5.07, (b) the production of evidence satisfactory to it as to the
    identity and genuineness of any signature, including a Signature Guarantee, or (c) compliance with such regulations, if any, as the Depositary or the Corporation may establish consistent with the provisions of this Agreement and applicable law.

  

  

  
    7

    
      


  

  The deposit of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock may be refused, the delivery of Receipts against Mandatory Convertible 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 reasonably necessary or advisable by
    any of the Depositary, any of the Depositary’s Agents and 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 Agreement.

  

  

  Section 2.09.           Lost Receipts, etc. In case any Receipt shall be mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Depositary shall execute and deliver a Receipt of like form and
    tenor in exchange and substitution for such mutilated Receipt upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and in substitution for such destroyed, lost or stolen Receipt, upon (a) the filing by the Record 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; (b) the Record Holder thereof furnishing of the Depositary with an open penalty surety bond reasonably
    satisfactory to the Depositary holding it and the Corporation harmless; and (c) the payment of any reasonable expense (including reasonable fees, charges and expenses of the Depositary) in connection with such execution and delivery.

  

  

  Section 2.10.           Cancellation and Destruction of Surrendered Receipts. All Receipts surrendered to the Depositary or any Depositary’s Agent, including Receipts surrendered in
    connection with any conversion of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock in accordance with the Certificate of Amendment, 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 2.11.           Conversion at the Option of Holders. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Record Holder of any Receipt may, at any time that Mandatory
    Convertible Preferred Stock may be converted pursuant to Section (D) 6 and or (D) 7 of the Certificate of Amendment, by (x) in the case of a Physical Receipt, surrendering such Physical Receipt at the Depositary’s Office or such other office as the
    Depositary may from time to time designate for such purpose together with a notice of conversion properly completed and duly executed and a proper assignment of such Receipt to the Corporation or the Transfer Agent or in blank to the Depositary or any
    of the Depositary’s Agents, and (y) in the case of a DTC Receipt, complying with the procedures of DTC in effect at that time, in each case, thereby instructing the Depositary to cause the conversion of a specified number (the “Conversion Number”) of whole shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt in accordance with the Certificate of Amendment, and specifying the name in
    which such Record Holder desires the Common Stock issuable upon conversion (including in respect of any Additional Conversion Amount, any Fundamental Change Dividend Make-whole Amount and any Accumulated Dividend Amount, in each case, in accordance
    with the Certificate of Amendment) to be registered and specifying payment instructions. Depositary Shares may be converted at the option of the Record Holder of any Receipt only in lots of 20 Depositary Shares or integral multiples thereof. The
    Depositary shall be deemed to have no knowledge of the Conversion Number unless and until it shall have actually received written notice thereof from the Corporation, and shall have no duty or obligation to investigate or inquire as to whether any
    Conversion Number contained in any such written notice is accurate, or whether it complies with the Certificate of Amendment. If specified by the Record Holder in such notice of conversion that Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Depositary
    Shares shall be issued to a Person other than the Record Holder surrendering the Receipt for the Depositary Shares being converted, then the Record Holder shall pay or cause to be paid any transfer or similar taxes payable in connection with the Common
    Stock or other securities so issued that are not payable by the Corporation pursuant to the Certificate of Amendment or Section 3.02. In addition, the holder shall provide any other transfer forms, tax forms or other relevant documentation
    required and specified by the Transfer Agent for the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, if necessary, to effect the conversion.

  

  

  
    8

    
      


  

  Upon fulfillment of the requirements in the foregoing paragraph, the Depositary is hereby authorized and instructed to, and shall, as promptly as practicable, (a) give written notice to the Transfer Agent of (i) the
    Conversion Number (as specified in writing by the Corporation), (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock to be delivered upon conversion of such Conversion Number of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (including in respect of any
    Additional Conversion Amount, any Fundamental Change Dividend Make-whole Amount and any Accumulated Dividend Amount, in each case, in accordance with the Certificate of Amendment) (as specified in writing by the Corporation), (iii) the amount of
    immediately available funds (as specified in writing by the Corporation), if any, to be delivered to the Record Holder of such Receipts in payment of any fractional shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon conversion of such Conversion Number of
    shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and (iv) the amount of cash (as specified in writing by the Corporation), if any and to the extent not satisfied in full through the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock, to be delivered to the
    Record Holder of such Receipts in respect of any Additional Conversion Amount, any Fundamental Change Dividend Make-whole Amount and any Accumulated Dividend Amount, in each case, payable by the Corporation upon conversion of such Conversion Number of
    shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to the Certificate of Amendment, (b) cancel such Receipt or, if a Registrar for Receipts (other than the Depositary) shall have been appointed, cause such Registrar to cancel such Receipt, and
    (c) surrender to the Transfer Agent or any other authorized agent of the Corporation for conversion, in accordance with the Certificate of Amendment (as specified in writing by the Corporation), certificates for the Mandatory Convertible Preferred
    Stock represented by Depositary Shares as evidenced by such Receipt, together with delivery to the Corporation or the appropriate agent of the Corporation (pursuant to written instructions from the Corporation) any other information or payment required
    by the Certificate of Amendment (as specified in writing by the Corporation) for such conversion, and such certificates shall thereupon be canceled by the Transfer Agent or other authorized agent. The Depositary shall have no duty or obligation to
    investigate or inquire as to whether the Corporation provided it with the correct number of shares of Common Stock to be delivered upon any conversion of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (including in respect of any Additional Conversion
    Amount, any Fundamental Change Dividend Make-whole Amount and any Accumulated Dividend Amount), or the correct amount of cash to be delivered in payment of any fractional shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable or in respect of any cash payable by
    the Corporation upon any conversion of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (including in respect of any Additional Conversion Amount, any Fundamental Change Dividend Make-whole Amount and any Accumulated Dividend Amount, in each case, to the
    extent not satisfied in full through the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock), and the Depositary may rely conclusively on any such information provided by the Corporation.

  

  

  As promptly as practicable after the Transfer Agent or other authorized agent of the Corporation has received such certificates from the Depositary, (a) the Corporation shall cause to be furnished to the Depositary (i) a
    certificate or certificates evidencing such number of shares of Common Stock to be delivered upon conversion of the Conversion Number of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (including in respect of any Additional Conversion Amount, any
    Fundamental Change Dividend Make-whole Amount and any Accumulated Dividend Amount, in each case, in accordance with the Certificate of Amendment), (ii) such amount of immediately available funds, if any and to the extent not satisfied in full through
    the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock, to be delivered in respect of any Additional Conversion Amount, any Fundamental Change Dividend Make-whole Amount and any Accumulated Dividend Amount, in each case, payable by the Corporation upon
    conversion of such shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to the Certificate of Amendment, and (iii) such amount of immediately available funds, if any, to be delivered in lieu of receiving fractional shares of Common Stock, as
    specified in a written notice from the Corporation and (b) the Depositary is hereby authorized and instructed to, and shall, deliver at the Depositary’s Office, (i) a certificate or certificates evidencing the number of shares of Common Stock
    (including in respect of any Additional Conversion Amount, any Fundamental Change Dividend Make-whole Amount and any Accumulated Dividend Amount, in each case, in accordance with the Certificate of Amendment) into which the Mandatory Convertible
    Preferred Stock represented by Depositary Shares as evidenced by such Receipt has been converted, (ii) the amount of cash payable by the Corporation upon such conversion of such Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock in respect of any Additional
    Conversion Amount (to the extent not satisfied in full through the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock), any Fundamental Change Dividend Make-whole Amount and any Accumulated Dividend Amount, in each case, pursuant to the Certificate of
    Amendment and (iii) the amount of cash payable by the Corporation upon such conversion of such Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock in lieu of delivering fractional shares of Common Stock, in each case, as specified in writing by the Corporation and
    that has been provided by the Corporation.

  

  

  In the event that a Record Holder of a surrendered Receipt elects to convert fewer than all Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt under this Section 2.11, upon such conversion, the Depositary shall, if
    requested in writing and provided with all necessary information and documents, authenticate, countersign and deliver to such Record Holder thereof, at the expense of the Corporation, a new Receipt evidencing the Depositary Shares as to which such
    conversion was not effected.

  

  

  Delivery of Common Stock following a conversion pursuant to this Section 2.11 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 such delivery is to be made otherwise than at the Depositary’s Office, such delivery shall be made, as hereinafter provided, without
    unreasonable delay, at the risk of any Record Holder surrendering Receipts, and for the account of such Record Holder, to such place designated in writing by such Record Holder.

  

  

  
    9

    
      


  

  For purposes of this Section 2.11 and Section 4.02, if the Common Stock has been replaced by Exchange Property as a result of any transaction as described in Section (D) 11(e) of the Certificate of
    Amendment, references to Common Stock will be deemed to be references to a Unit of Exchange Property that a holder of one share of Common Stock would have been entitled to receive in such transaction as determined pursuant to Section (D) 11(e) of the
    Certificate of Amendment.

  

  

  Section 2.12.           No Pre-Release. The Depositary shall not deliver any deposited Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock represented by Depositary Shares evidenced by Receipts
    prior to the receipt and cancellation of such Receipts or other similar method used with respect to Receipts held by DTC. The Depositary shall not issue any Receipts prior to the receipt by the Depositary of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock
    corresponding to Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipts. At no time will any Receipts be outstanding if such Receipts do not evidence Depositary Shares representing Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock deposited with the Depositary, subject to
    the rights of holders to receive distributions upon conversion of the deposited Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 4.01 or Section 4.02.

  

  

  Section 2.13.           Receipt of Funds. All funds received by Computershare under this Agreement that are to be distributed or applied by Computershare in the performance of its
    services hereunder (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 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 Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), respectively, (iii) money market funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 of the Investment
    Company Act of 1940, or (iv) demand deposit accounts, short term certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or bankers’ acceptances, of commercial banks with Tier 1 capital exceeding $1 billion or with an average rating 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 Section 2.13, except for any losses resulting from a default by any bank, financial institution or other third party (but, for the avoidance of
    doubt, Computershare shall bear responsibility and liability for any diminution of the Funds resulting from the investment of the Funds pursuant to this Section 2.13, other than those resulting from a default by any bank, financial institution
    or other third party, such that Record Holders of Receipts receive the full amount of money and/or property under this Agreement to which they are entitled as holders of fractional interests in shares of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, and
    such responsibility and liability shall not be subject to Section 5.03 of this Agreement). Computershare may from time to time receive interest, dividends or other earnings in connection with such deposits or investments. Computershare shall
    not be obligated to pay such interest, dividends or earnings to the Corporation, any holder or any other party.

  

  

  ARTICLE 3

  Certain Obligations of Record Holders of Receipts and of the Corporation

  

  

  Section 3.01.           Filing Proofs; Certificates and Other Information. Any Record Holder of a Receipt may be required from time to time to file proof of residence, or other
    matters or other information, to execute 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 exchange, of any Receipt or the withdrawal of the Mandatory Convertible 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.

  

  

  Section 3.02.           Payment of Taxes or Other Governmental Charges. Record Holders of Receipts shall be obligated to make payments to the Depositary of certain fees, charges and
    expenses, as provided in Section 5.07. Registration of transfer of any Receipt or any withdrawal of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and all money and/or other property represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt may be
    refused until any such payment due is made or satisfactory evidence is provided by such Record Holder to the Depositary that such fees, charges and expenses have been paid, and any dividends, interest payments or other distributions may be withheld or
    any part of or all the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt and not theretofore sold may be sold for the account of the Record Holder of such Receipt (after attempting by reasonable means
    to notify such Record 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 Record Holder of such Receipt remaining
    liable for any deficiency.

  

  

  
    10

    
      


  

  Section 3.03.           Warranty as to Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock. The Corporation hereby represents and warrants that the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, when
    issued, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Such representation and warranty shall survive the deposit of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and the issuance of the related Receipts.

  

  

  Section 3.04.           Warranty as to Receipts. The Corporation hereby represents and warrants that the Receipts, when issued in accordance with this Agreement, will represent
    legal and valid interests in the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock. Such representation and warranty shall survive the deposit of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and the issuance of the Receipts.

  

  

  Section 3.05.           Listing. The Corporation hereby covenants and agrees that it will apply to list the Depositary Shares on the NYSE. If the Depositary Shares are listed on the
    NYSE, the Corporation covenants and agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Depositary Shares listed on the NYSE.

  Section 4.01.           Cash Distributions. Whenever Computershare, as distribution agent, shall receive any cash dividend or other cash distribution on the Mandatory Convertible
    Preferred Stock, Computershare shall, subject to Sections 3.01 and 3.02, distribute to Record Holders of Receipts on the record date fixed pursuant to Section 4.04 such amounts of such dividend or distribution as are, as nearly
    as practicable, in proportion to the respective number of Depositary Shares evidenced by the Receipts held by such Record 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 Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock an amount on account of taxes, the amount of cash made available for distribution or distributed in
    respect of Depositary Shares shall be reduced accordingly, and such withheld cash shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Record Holder of Receipts in respect of which the Corporation or Computershare, as the case
    may be, made such withholding. The distribution procedure described in the immediately preceding sentence shall apply to any distribution by the Depositary of cash payable to the Record Holders (a) as a result of the conversion of the Mandatory
    Convertible Preferred Stock into cash in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Amendment (including, without limitation, upon mandatory conversion of such Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock); provided
    that in such case the distribution of cash shall be made to Record Holders as of the close of business on the relevant Conversion Date; or (b) as a result of the payment of a declared dividend on the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock in accordance
    with the terms of the Certificate of Amendment. In the event that the calculation of any such cash dividend or other cash distribution to be paid to any Record Holder on the aggregate number of Depositary Shares evidenced by the Receipts held by such
    Record Holder results in an amount that is a fraction of a cent and that fraction of a cent is equal to or greater than $0.005, the amount Computershare shall distribute to such Record Holder shall be rounded up to the next highest whole cent;
    otherwise, such fractional amount shall be disregarded by Computershare; provided, however, that the Corporation shall pay the additional amount to Computershare for distribution.

  

  

  Each Record Holder of a Receipt shall provide the Depositary with its certified tax identification number on a properly completed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, as applicable. Each
    Record 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 or backup withholding by Computershare of a portion of any of the
    distributions to be made hereunder.

  Section 4.02.           Distributions Other than Cash, Rights, Options or Privileges. Whenever the Depositary shall receive any distribution other than cash, rights, options or
    privileges upon the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, the Depositary shall, subject to Sections 3.01 and 3.02, distribute to Record Holders of Receipts on the record date fixed pursuant to Section 4.04 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 Record Holders, in any manner that the Depositary may deem equitable and
    practicable for accomplishing such distribution, including, without limitation, through book-entry transfer through DTC in the case of DTC Receipts; provided that, in case the Depositary shall be required to
    withhold from any distribution in respect of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock an amount on account of taxes, the amount of property or securities made available for distribution or distributed in respect of Depositary Shares shall be reduced
    as necessary to permit any withholding, and such withheld property may be disposed of by the Depositary, without any further consent or direction from the Corporation, in such manner as the Depositary reasonably deems necessary and practicable to pay
    such taxes and shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Record Holder of the Receipt in respect of which the Depositary, as the case may be, made such withholding. The distribution procedure described in the
    immediately preceding sentence shall apply to any distribution by the Depositary of shares of Common Stock deliverable to the Record Holders (a) as a result of the conversion of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock in
    accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Amendment (including, without limitation, upon mandatory conversion of such Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock); provided that in such case the distribution of
    shares of Common Stock shall be made to Record Holders as of the close of business on the relevant Conversion Date; or (b) as a result of the payment of a declared dividend on the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms of
    the Certificate of Amendment. 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 governmental charges) the Depositary deems, after consultation with the Corporation, such distribution not to be feasible, then 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 3.01 and 3.02, be distributed or made available for distribution, as the case may be, by the Depositary to Record Holders of Receipts as provided by Section 4.01 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 Record Holders of Receipts, unless the
    Corporation shall have provided an opinion of counsel stating that such distribution of securities or property has been registered under the Securities Act or does not need to be so registered in connection therewith.

  

  

  In the event of a distribution of securities, whether upon conversion of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock, in respect of any payment of a dividend on the Mandatory Convertible Preferred
    Stock or otherwise, fractional shares of such securities shall not be distributed to the Record Holders. Instead, a Record Holder that otherwise would have been entitled to receive a fraction of a security will receive an amount in cash, rounded to the
    nearest cent, equal to such Record Holder’s proportionate interest in the net proceeds from the sale in the open market by the Depositary, or an agent of the Depositary or other entity as so instructed in writing by the Corporation, on behalf of all
    such Record Holders, of the aggregate fractional shares of the securities that would otherwise have been issued, unless (i) the distribution of securities in question is the Corporation’s issuance of the shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the
    Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, in which case such Record Holder will be entitled to receive an amount in cash (computed to the nearest cent) equal to the product of: (x) that same fraction; and (y) the VWAP per share of Common Stock on the
    Trading Day immediately preceding the relevant Conversion Date; provided that if more than one Depositary Share is surrendered for, or the shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock represented thereby are
    subject to, conversion at one time by or for the same holder, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of the Depositary Shares so surrendered for, or the
    shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock subject to, conversion; or (ii) the distribution of securities in question is the Corporation’s issuance of shares of Common Stock in respect of any payment of a dividend on Mandatory Convertible
    Preferred Stock, in which case such Record Holder will be entitled to receive an amount in cash (computed to the nearest cent) equal to the product of: (x) that same fraction and (y) the Dividend Payment Average Price; provided that if such dividend payment is made on more than one Depositary Share held by the same holder, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in respect thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of
    Depositary Shares so held by such holder. The sale described in the immediately previous sentence shall occur as soon as practicable following the distribution date for such securities. In the event that such sale of the aggregate fractional shares of
    the securities that otherwise would have been issued is completed and a fraction of a share of such security still remains (the “Remaining Fractional Share”), the Depositary shall immediately notify the
    Corporation in writing of the Remaining Fractional Share, which notice may be delivered via electronic mail to the address set forth in Section 7.04. Upon receipt of such notice, the Board of Directors in its good faith shall determine the cash
    equivalent of the Remaining Fractional Share (the “Remaining Fractional Share Amount”), which Remaining Fractional Share Amount shall be equal to the Remaining Fractional Share, multiplied by the Closing Sale
    Price of such securities on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the distribution of such securities. The determination of the Remaining Fractional Share Amount by the Board of Directors shall be binding on the parties hereto and on the
    Record Holders. The Corporation shall promptly transfer funds for the Remaining Fractional Share Amount to an account selected by the Depositary, and the Depositary shall add the Remaining Fractional Share Amount to the net proceeds from the sale
    described above for distribution to the Record Holders otherwise entitled to receive the fractional shares of the securities.

  

  

  
    12

    
      


  

  The Person or Persons entitled to receive any shares of Common Stock issuable upon any conversion of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder(s) of such shares of
    Common Stock as of the close of business on the relevant Conversion Date.

  

  

  Section 4.03.           Subscription Rights, Options or Privileges. If the Corporation shall at any time offer or cause to be offered to the Persons in whose names the Mandatory
    Convertible Preferred Stock is recorded on the books of the Corporation any rights, options or privileges to subscribe for or to purchase any securities or any rights, options or privileges of any other nature, the terms of such rights, options or
    privileges shall in each such instance be communicated promptly to the Depositary and thereafter such rights, options or privileges shall be made available by the Depositary to the Record Holders of Receipts in such manner as the Corporation shall
    instruct, including, either by the issue to such Record Holders of warrants representing such rights, options or privileges or by such other method as may be approved by the Depositary in its discretion with the approval of the Corporation; provided, however, that (a) if at the time of issuance or offer of any such rights, options or privileges, the Corporation determines that it is not lawful or (after consultation with the Depositary) not feasible to
    make such rights, options or privileges available to Record Holders of Receipts by the issue of warrants or otherwise or (b) if Record Holders of Receipts do not desire to exercise such rights, options or privileges and so instruct the Depositary, 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, options or privileges available), may, if applicable laws or the terms of such
    rights, options or privileges permit such transfer, sell such rights, options or privileges at public or private sale, at such place or places and upon such terms as it may deem proper. The net proceeds of any such sale shall, subject to Sections
      3.01 and 3.02, be distributed by the Depositary to the Record Holders of Receipts entitled thereto as provided by Section 4.01 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, options or privileges relate is required in order for Record Holders of Receipts to be
    offered or sold the securities to which such rights, options 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, options or
    privileges and securities and use its commercially reasonable 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, options or privileges to enable
    such Record Holders to exercise such rights, options or privileges in compliance with the Securities Act. In no event shall the Depositary make available to the Record Holders of Receipts any right, option 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 Record 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, options
    or privileges to be made available to Record Holders of Receipts, and the Corporation agrees with the Depositary that the Corporation shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take such action or obtain such authorization, consent or permit
    sufficiently in advance of the expiration of such rights, options or privileges to enable such Record Holders to exercise such rights, options or privileges.

  Section 4.04.           Notice of Dividends, etc.; Fixing Record Date for Record 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, options or privileges shall at any time be offered, with respect to the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, or whenever the Depositary shall receive notice of any meeting at which holders
    of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to vote or of which holders of the Mandatory Convertible 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 Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock) for the determination of the
    Record Holders of Receipts who shall be entitled to receive such dividend, distribution, rights, options 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 4.05.           Voting Rights. Subject to the provisions of the Certificate of Amendment, upon receipt of notice of any meeting at which the holders of the Mandatory
    Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to vote, the Depositary shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, send to the Record Holders of Receipts, determined on the record date as set forth in Section 4.04, a notice prepared by the Corporation
    that shall contain (a) such information as is contained in such notice of meeting and (b) a statement that the Record Holders may, subject to any applicable restrictions, instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights pertaining to the
    amount of Mandatory Convertible 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 a brief statement as to the manner in which such instructions may be given. Each Record Holder of Receipts on the 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 Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock) may instruct the Depositary as to how to vote the amount of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock represented by such Record Holder’s Receipts in accordance with these instructions. Upon the
    written request of the Record 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 Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by all Receipts as to which any particular voting instructions are received. To the extent any such instructions request the voting of a fractional
    interest of a share of the deposited Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, the Depositary shall aggregate such interest with all other fractional interests resulting from requests with the same voting instructions and shall vote the number of whole
    votes resulting from such aggregation in accordance with the instructions received in such requests. Each share of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock is entitled to one vote and, accordingly, each Depositary Share is entitled to 1/20th of a
    vote.  The Corporation hereby agrees to take all action which may be deemed necessary by the Depositary in order to enable the Depositary to vote such Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock or cause such Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock to be
    voted. In the absence of specific instructions from Record Holders of Receipts, the Depositary shall abstain from voting the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock to the extent it does not receive such specific instructions from the Record Holders of
    Receipts.

  

  

  Section 4.06.           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 Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, subject to the provisions of the Certificate of Amendment, or upon any recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation affecting the Corporation or to which it is a party,
    the Depositary, if notified and instructed by the Corporation, shall (a) make such adjustments as are certified by the Corporation in the fraction of an interest represented by one Depositary Share in one share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock
    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 Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, or of such recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation
    and (b) treat any securities that shall be received by the Depositary in exchange for or, subject to the final sentence of this Section 4.06, upon conversion of or in respect of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock as new deposited
    securities so received in exchange for or upon conversion or in respect of such Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock. In any such case the Corporation may in its discretion direct the Depositary to execute and deliver additional Receipts or may call
    for the surrender of all outstanding Receipts to be exchanged for new Receipts specifically describing such new deposited securities. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, Record 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 Mandatory Convertible 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 Mandatory Convertible 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 Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock represented by such Receipts might have been converted or for which such Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock might have been exchanged or surrendered immediately prior to the effective date of such
    transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of, or in lieu of cash dividends on, the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock shall not constitute new deposited securities hereunder and instead the provisions set
    forth in Section 4.02 shall apply.

  

  

  
    14

    
      


  

  Section 4.07.           Delivery of Reports. The Depositary shall furnish to Record Holders of Receipts any reports, notices and communications received from the Corporation that
    are received by the Depositary, as the holder of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, and that the Corporation is required to furnish to the holders of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock.

  

  

  Section 4.08.           Lists of Receipt Record Holders. Reasonably promptly upon request from time to time by the Corporation, at the sole expense of the Corporation, the
    Depositary shall furnish to it a list, as of the most recent practicable date, of the names, addresses and holdings of Depositary Shares of all registered Record Holders of Receipts.

  

  

  Section 4.09.           Corporation-owned Depositary Shares Disregarded. In determining whether the Record Holders of the requisite number of Receipts have concurred in any vote
    (including, without limitation, in respect of any direction, consent, request, amendment, alteration or supplement) referred to in this Agreement, Depositary Shares that are owned by the Corporation, by any Subsidiary thereof or by any Person directly
    or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Corporation or any Subsidiary thereof shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such determination.

  The Depositary, the Depositary’s Agents, the Registrar and the Corporation

  

  

  Section 5.01.           Maintenance of Offices, Agencies and Transfer Books by the Depositary; Registrar; Depositary’s Agents. Upon execution of this Agreement, the Depositary shall
    maintain at the Depositary’s Office, facilities for the execution and delivery, transfer, surrender and exchange, split-up and combination of Receipts and deposit and withdrawal of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, and at the offices of the
    Depositary’s Agents, if any, facilities for the delivery, transfer, surrender and exchange of Receipts and deposit and withdrawal of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, all in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

  

  

  The Registrar shall keep books at the Depositary’s Office for the registration and transfer of Receipts. Upon direction by the Corporation and with reasonable notice to the Registrar, the Registrar shall 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 Corporation may cause the Registrar to close such books, at any time or from time to time, when deemed expedient by it in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder.

  

  

  The 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
    Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock represented by such Depositary Shares shall be listed on one or more national securities exchanges, the Depositary shall 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 Registrar if so permitted by the requirements of any such exchange) may be removed and a substitute registrar may be appointed by the Depositary
    upon the request or with the approval of the Corporation. If the Receipts, Depositary Shares or Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock are listed on one or more other securities exchanges, the Registrar shall, at the expense and request of the
    Corporation, arrange such facilities for the delivery, transfer, surrender and exchange of the Receipts, Depositary Shares or Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock as may be required by law or applicable securities exchange regulation.

  

  

  
    15

    
      


  

  The Depositary may from time to time appoint one or more Depositary’s Agents to act in any respect for the Depositary for the purposes of this Agreement and may from time to time appoint additional Depositary’s Agents and
    vary or terminate the appointment of such Depositary’s Agents; provided that the Depositary shall notify the Corporation of any such appointment or variation or termination of such appointment.

  

  

  Section 5.02.           Prevention of or Delay in Performance by the Depositary, the Depositary’s Agents, the Registrar or the Transfer Agent. None of the Depositary, any
    Depositary’s Agent, any Registrar and any Transfer Agent shall incur any liability to the Corporation or to any Record 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 by reason of any provision, present or future, of the Certificate of Incorporation or by reason of any act of God or war or pandemics or epidemics or other circumstance beyond the control of the
    relevant party, the Depositary, any such Depositary’s Agent, any such Registrar or any such Transfer Agent shall be prevented, delayed or forbidden from, or subjected to any penalty on account of, doing or performing any act or thing which the terms of
    this Agreement provide shall be done or performed. Nor shall the Depositary, any Depositary’s Agent, any Registrar nor any Transfer Agent incur liability to the Corporation or to any Record Holder of a Receipt (a) by reason of any nonperformance or
    delay, caused as aforesaid, in the performance of any act or thing which the terms of this Agreement shall provide shall or may be done or performed or (b) by reason of any exercise of, or failure to exercise, any discretion provided for in this
    Agreement except, in case of any such exercise or failure to exercise discretion not caused as aforesaid, if caused by the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the party charged with such exercise or failure to exercise, or as otherwise
    explicitly set forth in this Agreement.

  

  

  Section 5.03.           Obligations of the Depositary, the Depositary’s Agents, the Registrar and the Transfer Agent. None of the Depositary, any Depositary’s Agent, any Registrar
    and any Transfer Agent assumes any obligation or shall be subject to any liability under this Agreement to Record Holders of Receipts, the Corporation or any other Person or entity other than for its gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.

  

  

  None of the Depositary, any Depositary’s Agent, any Registrar and any Transfer Agent shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any action, suit or other proceeding in respect of the Mandatory
    Convertible Preferred Stock, the Depositary Shares or the Receipts, which, in its reasonable opinion, may involve it in expense or liability, unless indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against all expense and liability be furnished as often as may
    be reasonably required.

  

  

  None of the Depositary, any Depositary’s Agent, any Registrar and any Transfer Agent 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 Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock for deposit, any Record Holder of a Receipt or any other Person believed by it in good faith to be competent to give such information. Each of the Depositary, any Depositary’s
    Agent, any Registrar and any Transfer Agent may 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.

  

  

  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, except as set forth in Section 2.13, the Depositary’s aggregate liability during the term of this Agreement with respect to, arising from, or arising in
    connection with, this Agreement, or from all services provided or omitted to be provided under this Agreement, whether in contract or in 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; provided, however, that in the event that such liability arises as a result of misappropriation of funds by the Depositary, any of the
    Depositary’s Agents (except for such Depositary’s Agents that 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 Person (as determined by a
    non-appealable judgment, order, decree or ruling of a court of competent jurisdiction, an arbitral award or an agreement with the Corporation), 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 fraud or willful misconduct.

  

  

  The Depositary undertakes, and any Registrar or Transfer Agent shall be required to undertake, to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, and no implied covenants or
    obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Depositary or any Registrar or Transfer Agent.

  

  

  
    16

    
      


  

  The Depositary, its parent, its affiliates and its Subsidiaries, any Depositary’s Agent and any Registrar or Transfer Agent may own, buy, sell and deal in any class of securities of the Corporation and its affiliates and
    in Receipts or Depositary Shares or have a pecuniary interest in any transaction in which the Corporation or its affiliates may be interested or contract with or lend money to any such Person or otherwise act as fully or as freely as if it were not the
    Depositary, the Depositary’s parent, affiliate or Subsidiary or the Depositary’s Agent or the Registrar hereunder. The Depositary may also act as trustee, transfer agent or registrar of any of the securities of the Corporation and its affiliates.

  

  

  It is intended that none of the Depositary, its agents and any Registrar, acting as a Depositary’s Agent or Registrar, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be an “issuer” of the securities under federal securities laws
    or applicable state securities laws, it being expressly understood and agreed that the Depositary, any Depositary’s Agent and the Registrar are acting only in a ministerial capacity as Depositary or Registrar for the Mandatory Convertible Preferred
    Stock.

  

  

  The Corporation agrees that is has previously or will register the offer and sale of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and the Depositary Shares in accordance with all applicable securities laws.

  

  

  None of the Depositary, its officers, directors, employees or agents and the Registrar makes any representation or has any responsibility as to the validity of (a) the registration statement pursuant to which the offer and
    sale of the Depositary Shares and Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock are registered under the Securities Act, (b) the Certificate of Incorporation, (c) the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, (d) the Depositary Shares, (e) the Receipts (except
    for its counter-signatures thereon), (f) any instruments referred to in any of the foregoing or (g) as to the correctness of any statement made in any of the foregoing.

  

  

  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 Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock at any time deposited with the Depositary hereunder or of the Depositary Shares, as to the validity or sufficiency of this 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.

  

  

  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Depositary shall not be liable for any incidental, indirect, special or consequential damages of any nature whatsoever, including, but not limited to, loss of
    anticipated profits, occasioned by breach of any provision of this Agreement even if apprised of the possibility of such damages.

  

  

  Neither Computershare nor the Depositary, as applicable, shall have any liability for interest on any monies at any time received by it pursuant to any of the provisions of this Agreement or of the Receipts, the Depositary
    Shares or the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, nor shall Computershare or the Depositary, as applicable, be obligated to segregate such monies from other monies held by it, except as required by applicable law. Neither Computershare nor the
    Depositary, as applicable, shall be responsible for advancing funds on behalf of the Corporation and shall have no duty or obligation to make any payments if Computershare or the Depositary, as applicable, has not timely received sufficient funds to
    make timely payments.

  

  

  In the event the Depositary, the Depositary’s Agent or any Registrar or Transfer Agent 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 Agent or any Registrar or Transfer Agent hereunder, or in the administration of any of the provisions of this Agreement, the Depositary shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be
    proved or established prior to taking, omitting or suffering to take any action hereunder, the Depositary may, in its sole discretion upon written notice to the Corporation, refrain from taking any action and shall be fully protected and shall not be
    liable in any way to the Corporation, any Record Holders of Receipts or any other Person or entity for refraining from taking such action, unless the Depositary receives written instructions or a certificate signed by the Corporation that eliminates
    such ambiguity or uncertainty to the reasonable satisfaction of the Depositary, Depositary’s Agent, Registrar or Transfer Agent or that proves or establishes the applicable matter to the reasonable satisfaction of the Depositary, Depositary’s Agent,
    Registrar or Transfer Agent.

  The Depositary undertakes not to issue any Receipt other than to evidence the Depositary Shares that have been delivered to, and are then on deposit with, the Depositary. The Depositary also undertakes not to sell, except
    as provided herein, pledge or lend Depositary Shares or shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock held by it as Depositary.

  

  

  The obligations of the Corporation and the rights and benefits of the Depositary set forth in this Section 5.03 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and any resignation or succession of any Depositary,
    Registrar, Transfer Agent or Depositary’s Agent.

  

  

  Section 5.04.           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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Depositary’s resignation or removal under this Section 5.04 will take effect no more than 90 days following the delivery of notice hereunder.

  

  

  In case at any time the Depositary acting hereunder shall resign or be removed, the Corporation shall, within 60 days after the delivery of the notice of resignation or removal, as the case may be, appoint a successor
    Depositary, which shall be a bank or trust company that (a) is not an affiliate of the Corporation, (b) has its principal office in the United States of America and (c) has a combined capital and surplus, along with its affiliates, of at least
    $50,000,000. If no successor Depositary shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 60 days after delivery of such notice, the resigning or removed Depositary may, 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 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 Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and any moneys, securities or other property held hereunder to such successor, and shall deliver to such successor Depositary 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 send notice of its appointment to the Record Holders of Receipts.

  

  

  Any entity into or with which the Depositary may be merged, consolidated or converted shall be the successor of 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.

  

  

  The provisions of this Section 5.04 as they apply to the Depositary apply to the Registrar and Transfer Agent, as if specifically enumerated herein.

  

  

  Section 5.05.           Corporate Notices and Reports. The Corporation agrees that it shall deliver to the Depositary, and the Depositary shall, promptly after receipt thereof,
    transmit to the Record Holders of Receipts, in each case at the addresses recorded in the Depositary’s books, copies of all notices and reports (including, without limitation, financial statements) required by law, by the rules of the NYSE or any other
    national securities exchange upon which the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, the Depositary Shares or the Receipts are listed or by the Certificate of Incorporation, 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 shall transmit to the Record Holders of Receipts at the
    Corporation’s expense, including applicable fees, such other documents as may be requested by the Corporation.

  

  

  
    18

    
      


  

  Section 5.06.           Indemnification by the Corporation. Subject to Section 5.03, the Corporation shall indemnify the Depositary, any Depositary’s Agent and any Registrar
    or Transfer Agent (including each of their officers, directors, agents and employees) against, and hold each of them harmless from, any loss, damage, cost, penalty, liability or expense (including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself)
    which may arise out of acts performed, suffered or omitted to be taken in connection with this Agreement and the Receipts by the Depositary, any Registrar, any Transfer Agent 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 on the respective parts of any such Person or Persons.

  

  

  From time to time, the Corporation may provide the Depositary with instructions concerning the services performed by the Depositary hereunder. 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 or the Corporation with respect to any matter arising in connection with the services to be performed by the Depositary under this Agreement. The Depositary and its
    agents and subcontractors shall not be liable and shall be indemnified by the Corporation for any action taken or omitted by the Depositary in reliance upon any 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 5.06 shall survive the termination of this
    Agreement and any resignation or succession of any Depositary, Registrar, Transfer Agent or Depositary’s Agent.

  

  

  Section 5.07.           Fees, Charges and Expenses. The Corporation agrees promptly to pay the Depositary the compensation to be agreed upon with the Corporation for all services
    rendered by the Depositary hereunder and to reimburse the Depositary for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the Depositary without gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on its
    part (or on the part of any agent or Depositary’s Agent) in connection with the services rendered by it (or such agent or Depositary’s Agent) hereunder. The Corporation shall pay all charges of the Depositary in connection with the initial deposit of
    the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and the initial issuance of the Depositary Shares and any change of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock in accordance with Section 4.06. The Corporation shall pay all transfer and other taxes and
    governmental charges arising solely from the existence of the depositary arrangements. The Record Holders shall not be required to pay any transfer and other taxes and governmental charges relating to the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, the
    Receipts or the Depositary Shares; provided that a Record Holder shall be required to pay any tax or duty that may be payable relating to any issuance or delivery of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred
    Stock or Common Stock or transfers or exchanges of Depositary Shares or Receipts, in each case, in a name other than the name of such Record Holder. If, at the request of a Record Holder of Receipts, the Depositary incurs charges or expenses for which
    the Corporation is not otherwise liable hereunder, then such Record Holder shall be liable for such charges and expenses; provided, however, that the Depositary may, at its sole option, request that the
    Corporation direct a Record Holder of a Receipt to prepay the Depositary any charge or expense the Depositary has been asked to incur at the request of such Record 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.

  

  

  Section 5.08.           Tax Compliance. The Depositary, on its own behalf and on behalf of the Corporation, will comply with all applicable certification, information reporting and
    withholding requirements imposed by applicable tax laws, regulations or administrative practice with respect to (a) any payments made with respect to the Depositary Shares and Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and (b) the issuance, delivery,
    holding, transfer or exercise of rights under the Receipts or the Depositary Shares. Such compliance shall include, without limitation, the preparation and timely filing of required tax 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 Agreement rely on any such direction in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.03 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.

    any time and from time to time be amended, altered or supplemented by agreement between the Corporation and the Depositary for the following purposes:

  

  

  (a)           to cure any ambiguity, omission, inconsistency or mistake in this Agreement or the Receipts;

  

  

  (b)           to make any provision with respect to matters or questions relating to the Depositary Shares that is not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement and that does not adversely affect the rights,
    preferences, privileges or voting powers of any Record Holder of Receipts;

  

  

  (c)           to make any change reasonably necessary, in the Corporation’s reasonable determination, to comply with the procedures of the Depositary and that does not adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges

  In addition, without the consent of the Record Holders of Receipts, the Receipts and any provisions of this Agreement may at any time and from time to time be amended, altered, supplemented or repealed to conform such

  (a)           reduce the number of Receipts the Record Holders of which must consent to an amendment, alteration or supplement of the Receipts or this Agreement;

  

  

  (b)           reduce the amount payable or deliverable in respect of the Receipts or extend the stated time for such payment or delivery;

  

  

  (c)           impair the right, subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, Section 2.08 and Article 3, of any owner of Depositary Shares to surrender any Receipt evidencing such Depositary Shares to
    the Depositary with instructions to deliver to the Record Holder the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and all money and/or other property represented thereby;

  

  

  (d)           change the currency in which payments in respect of the Depositary Shares or any Receipt evidencing such Depositary Shares is made;

  

  

  
    20

    
      


  

  (e)           impair the right of any Record Holder of Receipts to receive payments or deliveries on such Record Holder’s Receipts on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such
    payment or delivery;

  

  

  (f)           make any change that adversely affects the conversion rights of any Record Holder of Receipts; or

  

  

  (g)           make any change that adversely affects the voting rights of any Record Holder of Receipts.

  

  

  As a condition precedent to the Depositary’s execution of any amendment pursuant to this Section 6.02, the Corporation shall deliver to the Depositary a certificate from a duly authorized officer of the Corporation that
    states that the proposed amendment is in compliance with the terms of this Section 6.01.

  

  

  Section 6.03.           Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by the Corporation or the Depositary only if (a) all outstanding Depositary Shares issued hereunder have been
    cancelled, upon conversion of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock in accordance with the Certificate of Amendment or otherwise, or (b) there shall have been made a final distribution in respect of the Mandatory
    Convertible Preferred Stock in connection with any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation and such distribution shall have been distributed to the Record Holders of Receipts representing Depositary Shares pursuant to Section 4.01
    or 4.02, as applicable.

  

  

  Upon the termination of this Agreement, the Corporation shall be discharged from all obligations under this Agreement except for its obligations to the Depositary, any Depositary’s Agent and any Registrar under Section
      5.06 and 5.07.
