FORM OF RECEIPTS, DEPOSIT OF PREFERRED SHARES, EXECUTION AND

SECTION 2.01 Form and Transferability of Receipts. Definitive Receipts shall be printed and shall be substantially in the form set
forth in Exhibit A annexed to this Deposit Agreement, in each case with appropriate insertions, modifications and omissions, as hereinafter provided. Pending the preparation of definitive Receipts, the Depositary, upon and pursuant to the
written order of the Company delivered in compliance with Section 2.02, shall be authorized and instructed to, and shall, execute and deliver temporary Receipts which shall be substantially of the tenor of the definitive Receipts in lieu
of which they are issued and in each case with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the persons executing such Receipts may determine (but which do not affect the rights or duties of the Depositary), as
evidenced by their execution of such Receipts. If temporary Receipts are issued, the Company 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 Office 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. Such exchange shall be made at
the Company’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 Shares deposited, as
definitive Receipts. 

  
 3 








 Receipts shall be executed by the Depositary by the manual or facsimile signature of a duly
authorized signatory of the Depositary; provided, that if a Registrar for the Receipts (other than the Depositary) shall have been appointed then such Receipts shall also be countersigned by manual or facsimile signature of a duly authorized
signatory of the Registrar. No Receipt shall be entitled to any benefits under this Deposit Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless it shall have been executed as provided in the preceding sentence. The Depositary shall record on
its books each Receipt executed as provided above 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 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 as may be required by the Depositary and approved by the Company, or which the Company has determined are required to comply with any applicable law or regulation or with the rules and regulations of any
securities exchange upon which the Depositary Shares may be listed for trading or to conform with any usage with respect thereto, or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which any particular Receipts are subject, in each case as
directed by the Company. 
 Title to any Receipt (and to the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt) that is properly endorsed, or
accompanied by a properly executed instrument of transfer or endorsement, shall be transferable by delivery with the same effect as in the case of a negotiable instrument; provided, however, that until transfer of a Receipt shall be
registered on the books of the Depositary as provided in Section 2.04, 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 payments with respect to the Preferred Shares, to exercise any redemption or voting rights or to receive any notice provided for in this Deposit Agreement and
for all other purposes. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Depositary and the Company will make application to DTC for acceptance of all
of the Receipts for its book-entry settlement system. In connection with such request, the Company 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 to be traded on the New York Stock Exchange with book-entry settlement through DTC shall be represented by a single receipt (the “DTC Receipt”), which shall be deposited with DTC (or
its custodian) evidencing all such Depositary Shares and registered in the name of the nominee of DTC (initially expected to be Cede & Co.). The Depositary or such other entity as is agreed to by DTC may hold the DTC Receipt as custodian
for DTC. Ownership of beneficial interests in the DTC Receipt shall be shown on, and the transfer of such ownership shall be effected through, records maintained by (i) DTC or its nominee for such DTC Receipt or (ii) institutions that have
accounts with DTC. 

  
 4 








 If issued, the DTC Receipt shall be exchangeable for definitive Receipts only if (i) DTC
notifies the Company 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 Company within 90 days of the date the Company is so
informed in writing, (ii) DTC notifies the Company at any time that it has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under applicable law and a successor to DTC is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of the date the Company is so
informed in writing or (iii) the Company executes and delivers to DTC a notice to the effect that such DTC Receipt shall be so exchangeable. If the beneficial owners of interests in Depositary Shares are entitled to exchange such interests for
definitive Receipts as the result of an event described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the preceding sentence, then without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the earliest date on which such beneficial interests may be so
exchanged, the Depositary is hereby directed to and shall provide written instructions to DTC to deliver to the Depositary for cancellation the DTC Receipt, and the Company shall instruct the Depositary in writing to execute and deliver to the
beneficial owners of the Depositary Shares previously evidenced by the DTC Receipt definitive Receipts in physical form evidencing such Depositary Shares. The DTC Receipt shall be in such form and shall bear such legend or legends as may be
appropriate or required by DTC in order for it to accept the Depositary Shares for its book-entry settlement system. Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, if the Receipts are at any time eligible for book-entry settlement
through DTC, delivery of Preferred Shares and other property in connection with the withdrawal or redemption of Depositary Shares will be made through DTC and in accordance with its procedures, unless the holder of the relevant Receipt otherwise
requests and such request is reasonably acceptable to the Depositary and the Company. 
 SECTION 2.02 Deposit of Preferred Shares;
Execution and Delivery of Receipts in Respect Thereof. Concurrently with the execution of this Deposit Agreement, the Company is delivering to the Depositary a certificate or certificates, registered in the name of the Depositary and evidencing
8,000 Preferred Shares, properly endorsed or accompanied, if required by the Depositary, by a duly executed instrument of transfer or endorsement, in form satisfactory to the Depositary, together with (i) all such certifications as may be
required by the Depositary in accordance with the provisions of this Deposit Agreement and (ii) a written order of the Company directing the Depositary to execute and deliver to, or upon the written order of, the person or persons stated in
such order a Receipt or Receipts for the Depositary Shares representing such deposited Preferred Shares registered in such names specified in such written order. The Depositary acknowledges receipt of the aforementioned 8,000 Preferred Shares and
related documentation and agrees to hold such deposited Preferred Shares in an account to be established by the Depositary at the Depositary Office or at such other office as the Depositary shall determine. The Company hereby appoints the Trust
Company as the Registrar, Transfer Agent, and Computershare as the Dividend Disbursing Agent and Redemption Agent for the Preferred Shares deposited hereunder and the Trust Company and Computershare respectively hereby accept such appointment and,
as such, will reflect changes in the number of shares (including any fractional shares) of deposited Preferred Shares held by it by notation, book-entry or other appropriate method. 

  
 5 








 If required by the Depositary, Preferred Shares presented for deposit by the Company at any time,
whether or not the register of shareholders of the Company is closed, shall also be accompanied by an agreement or assignment, or other instrument satisfactory to the Depositary, that will provide for the prompt transfer to the Depositary or its
nominee of any dividend or right to subscribe for additional Preferred Shares or to receive other property that any person in whose name the Preferred Shares are or has been registered may thereafter receive upon or in respect of such deposited
Preferred Shares, or in lieu thereof such agreement of indemnity or other agreement as shall be satisfactory to the Depositary. 
 Upon
receipt by the Depositary of a certificate or certificates for Preferred Shares deposited hereunder, together with the other documents specified above, and upon registering such Preferred Shares in the name of the Depositary, 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 2.02, a Receipt or Receipts for the number of whole Depositary Shares representing the Preferred Shares 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 Office, except that, at the request, risk and expense of any person requesting such delivery, such delivery may be made at such other place as may be designated by such person. Other than in the
case of splits, combinations or other reclassifications affecting the Preferred Shares, or in the case of dividends or other distributions of Preferred Shares, if any, there shall be deposited hereunder not more than the number of shares
constituting the Preferred Shares as set forth in the Certificate of Designations, as such may be amended. To the extent that the Company issues Preferred Shares in excess of the amount set forth in the Certificate of Designations as of the date
hereof (which shares have been duly authorized by the Company), the Company shall notify the Depositary of such issuance in writing. 
 The
Depositary shall be permitted to rely on applicable opinions of counsel delivered to the underwriters pursuant to each of Sections 3(vi) and 3(vii) of the underwriting agreement dated November 17, 2015 among the Company and the underwriters
named therein relating to the sale of the Depositary Shares to the public. In addition, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, U.S. counsel to the Company, shall deliver a letter to the Depositary, subject to the qualifications and
assumptions set forth therein, that (i) the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3ASR (the “Registration Statement”) relating to depositary shares, preferred shares and other securities became effective upon filing
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and (ii) no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been instituted or is pending or threatened by the Commission. 

The Company shall deliver to the Depositary from time to time such quantities of Receipts as the Depositary may request to enable the
Depositary to perform its obligations under this Deposit Agreement. 
 SECTION 2.03 Optional Redemption of Preferred Shares for
Cash. Whenever the Company shall elect to redeem deposited Preferred Shares for cash in accordance with the provisions of the Certificate of Designations, it shall (unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Depositary) give the Depositary not
less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior written notice of the date fixed for redemption of such Preferred Shares (the “redemption date”) and of the 

  
 6 








 
number of such Preferred Shares held by the Depositary to be redeemed and the applicable redemption price (the “redemption price”), as set forth in the Certificate of
Designations. The Depositary shall mail, first-class postage prepaid, notice of the redemption of Preferred Shares and the proposed simultaneous redemption of the Depositary Shares representing the Preferred Shares to be redeemed, not less than 30
and not more than 60 days prior to the redemption date, to the holders of record on the record date fixed for such redemption pursuant to Section 4.04 of the Receipts evidencing the Depositary Shares to be so redeemed, at the addresses
of such holders as the same appear on the records of the Depositary; provided, however, that the failure to mail any such notice to one or more such holders or any defect in any such notice shall not affect the sufficiency of the
proceedings for redemption except as to the holder to whom notice was not given or defective. 
 The Company shall prepare and provide the
Depositary with such notice, and each such notice shall state: (i) the redemption date; (ii) the redemption price; (iii) the number of deposited Preferred Shares and Depositary Shares to be redeemed; (iv) if fewer than all
Depositary Shares held by any holder are to be redeemed, the number of such Depositary Shares held by such holder to be so redeemed; (v) the place or places where the Preferred Shares and the Receipts evidencing Depositary Shares to be redeemed
are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price; and (vi) that on the redemption date dividends in respect of the Preferred Shares represented by the Depositary Shares to be redeemed will cease to accrue. 

In the event that notice of redemption has been made as described in the immediately preceding paragraphs and the Company shall then have paid
in full to the Depositary the redemption price (determined pursuant to the Certificate of Designations) of the Preferred Shares deposited with the Depositary to be redeemed, the Depositary shall redeem the number of Depositary Shares representing
such Preferred Shares so called for redemption by the Company and on the redemption date (unless the Company shall have failed to pay for the Preferred Shares to be redeemed by it as set forth in the Company’s notice provided for in the
preceding paragraph), all dividends in respect of the Preferred Shares called for redemption shall cease to accrue, the Depositary Shares called for redemption shall be deemed no longer to be outstanding and 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. Upon surrender in accordance with said notice of the Receipts evidencing such Depositary Shares
(properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Depositary shall so require), such Depositary Shares shall be redeemed at a cash redemption price per Depositary Share equal to 1/1,000th of the
redemption price per share paid in respect of the Preferred Shares, plus any declared but unpaid dividends thereon from the last Dividend Payment Date to, but excluding, the redemption date. The foregoing shall be further subject to the terms and
conditions of the Certificate of Designations. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Deposit Agreement and the provisions of the Certificate of Designations, the provisions of the Certificate of Designations will govern and the
Company will instruct the Depositary, as applicable, in writing accordingly of such governing terms; provided, however, that under no circumstances will the Certificate of Designations be deemed to change or modify any of the rights,
duties or immunities of the Depositary contained herein. 

  
 7 








 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 payment of the redemption price for and all other amounts payable in respect of the Depositary Shares called for redemption, a new Receipt
evidencing the Depositary Shares evidenced by such prior Receipt and not called for redemption. 
 If less than all of the Preferred Shares
are redeemed pursuant to the Company’s exercise of its optional redemption right, the Depositary will select the Depositary Shares to be redeemed pursuant to this Section 2.03 on a pro rata basis, by lot or in such other manner as
the Depositary may determine to be fair and equitable. 
 All funds received by Computershare under this 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 Company and deposited in one or more bank accounts to be maintained by Computershare in its name as agent
for the Company. 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.). Computershare 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, including 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 not be obligated to pay such interest, dividends or earnings to the
Company, any holder or any other party 
 SECTION 2.04 Registration of Transfers of Receipts. The Company hereby appoints the
Trust Company as the Registrar and Transfer Agent for the Receipts and the Trust Company hereby accepts such appointment and, as such, shall register on its books from time to time transfers of Receipts upon any surrender thereof by the holder in
person or by a duly authorized attorney, agent or representative properly endorsed or accompanied by a properly executed instrument of transfer or endorsement and appropriate evidence of authority, which shall include a signature guarantee from an
eligible guarantor institution participating in a signature guarantee program approved by the Securities Transfer Association, and any other reasonable evidence of authority that may be required by the Trust Company, together with evidence of the
payment by the applicable party of any transfer taxes as may be required by law. Upon such surrender, the Trust Company shall execute a new Receipt or Receipts and deliver the same to or upon the order of the person entitled thereto evidencing the
same aggregate number of Depositary Shares evidenced by the Receipt or Receipts surrendered. 
 SECTION 2.05 Combinations and
Split-ups of Receipts. Upon surrender of a Receipt or Receipts at the Depositary Office or such other office as the Depositary may designate for the purpose of effecting a split-up or combination of Receipts, subject to the terms and conditions
of this Deposit Agreement, the Depositary shall execute and deliver a new Receipt or Receipts in the 
 authorized denominations requested evidencing the
same aggregate number of Depositary Shares evidenced by the Receipt or Receipts surrendered. 

  
 8 








 SECTION 2.06 Surrender of Receipts and Withdrawal of Preferred Shares. Any holder of
a Receipt or Receipts may withdraw any number of whole shares of deposited Preferred Shares represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt or Receipts and all money and other property, if any, represented by such Depositary Shares by
surrendering such Receipt or Receipts to the Depositary or at such other office as the Depositary may designate for such withdrawals; provided, that a holder of a Receipt or Receipts may not withdraw such Preferred Shares (or money and other
property, if any, represented thereby) which has previously been called for redemption. Upon such surrender, upon payment of the fee of the Depositary for the surrender of Receipts to the extent provided in Section 5.07 and payment of
all taxes and governmental charges in connection with such surrender and withdrawal of Preferred Shares, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, without unreasonable delay, the Depositary shall deliver to such holder, or
to the person or persons designated by such holder as hereinafter provided, the number of whole shares of such Preferred Shares and all such money and other property, if any, represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by the Receipt or Receipts
so surrendered for withdrawal, but holders of such whole shares of Preferred Shares will not thereafter be entitled to deposit such Preferred Shares hereunder or to receive Depositary Shares therefor. If the Receipt or Receipts 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 deposited Preferred Shares to be withdrawn, the
Depositary shall at the same time, in addition to such number of whole shares of Preferred Shares and such money and other property, if any, to be withdrawn, deliver to such holder, or upon such holder’s order (subject to
Section 2.04), a new Receipt or Receipts evidencing such excess number of Depositary Shares. Delivery of such Preferred Shares 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 the deposited Preferred Shares and the money and other property being withdrawn are to be delivered to a person or persons other than the
record holder of the Receipt or Receipts being surrendered for withdrawal of Preferred Shares, 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 Preferred Shares be properly endorsed in blank or accompanied by a properly executed instrument of transfer or endorsement in blank. 

The Depositary shall deliver the deposited Preferred Shares and the money and other property, if any, represented by the Depositary Shares
evidenced by Receipts surrendered for withdrawal at the Depositary Office, except that, at the request, risk and expense of the holder surrendering such Receipt or Receipts and for the account of the holder thereof, such delivery may be made at such
other place as may be designated by such holder.

 SECTION 2.07 Limitations on Execution and Delivery, Transfer, Split-up. As a
condition precedent to the execution and delivery, transfer, split-up, combination, surrender or exchange of any Receipt, the Depositary, any of the Depositary’s Agents or the Company may require any or all of the following: (i) payment to
it of a sum sufficient for the payment (or, in the event that the Company shall have made such payment, the reimbursement to it) of any tax or other governmental charge and stock transfer or registration fee with respect thereto (including any such
tax or charge with respect to the Preferred Shares being deposited or withdrawn); (ii) the production of proof satisfactory to it as to the identity and genuineness of any signature (or the authority of any signature) including, as noted in
Section 2.04 above, a signature guarantee from an eligible guarantor institution participating in a signature guarantee program approved by the Securities Transfer Association, and any other reasonable evidence of authority that may be
required by the Depositary; and (iii) compliance with such regulations, if any, as the Depositary or the Company may establish consistent with the provisions of this Deposit Agreement as may be required by any securities exchange on which the
deposited Preferred Shares, the Depositary Shares or the Receipts may be included for quotation or listed. 
 The deposit of Preferred
Shares may be refused, the delivery of Receipts against Preferred Shares may be suspended, the transfer of Receipts may be refused, and the transfer, split-up, combination, surrender, exchange or redemption of outstanding Receipts may be suspended
(i) during any period when the register of shareholders of the Company is closed or (ii) if any such action is deemed reasonably necessary or advisable by the Depositary, any of the Depositary’s Agents or the Company 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 other provision of this Deposit Agreement. 

SECTION 2.08 Lost Receipts, etc. In case any Receipt shall be mutilated and surrendered to the Depositary or destroyed or lost or
stolen, the Depositary shall 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; provided, that the holder
thereof shall have (i) filed with the Depositary (a) a request for such execution and delivery before the Depositary has notice that the Receipt has been acquired by a protected purchaser and (b) an open penalty surety bond,
(ii) satisfied any other reasonable requirements imposed by the Depositary and (iii) complied with such other reasonable regulations and paid such other reasonable charges as the Depositary may prescribe and as required by
Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York. 
 SECTION 2.09 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, but not
required, to destroy such Receipts so cancelled. 
 SECTION 2.10 No Pre-Release. The Depositary shall not deliver any deposited
Preferred 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 corresponding Preferred Shares evidenced by such Receipts. At no time will any Receipts be outstanding if such Receipts do not represent Preferred Shares deposited with the Depositary.

 ARTICLE 3 

CERTAIN OBLIGATIONS OF HOLDERS OF RECEIPTS AND THE COMPANY 

SECTION 3.01 Filing Proofs, Certificates and Other Information . Any person presenting Preferred Shares for deposit or any holder
of a Receipt may be required from time to time to file with the Depositary such proof of residence, guarantee of signature or other information and to execute such certificates as the Depositary may reasonably deem necessary or proper or the Company
may reasonably require by written request to the Depositary. The Depositary or the Company may withhold or delay the delivery of any Receipt, the transfer, redemption or exchange of any Receipt, the withdrawal of the deposited Preferred Shares
represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by any Receipt, 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. 
 SECTION 3.02 Payment of Fees and Expenses. Holders of Receipts shall be obligated to make payments to the
Depositary of certain fees and expenses and taxes or other governmental charges to the extent provided in Section 3.05 and Section 5.07, or provide evidence satisfactory to the Depositary that such fees and expenses and taxes
or other governmental charges have been paid. Until such payment is made, transfer of any Receipt or any withdrawal of the Preferred Shares or money or other property, if any, represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt may be
refused, any dividend or other distribution may be withheld, and any part or all of the Preferred Shares or other property represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt may be sold for the account of the holder thereof (after
attempting by reasonable means to notify such holder a reasonable number of days prior to such sale). Any dividend or other distribution so withheld and the proceeds of any such sale may be applied to any payment of such fees or expenses, the holder
of such Receipt remaining liable for any deficiency. 
 SECTION 3.03 Representations and Warranties as to Preferred Shares. In
the case of the initial deposit of the Preferred Shares hereunder, the Company represents and warrants that such Preferred Shares and each certificate therefor are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Such representations and warranties
shall survive the deposit of the Preferred Shares and the issuance of Receipts. 
 SECTION 3.04 Representation and Warranty as to
Receipts and Depositary Shares. The Company hereby represents and warrants that the Receipts, when issued, will evidence legal and valid interests in the Depositary Shares and each Depositary Share will represent a legal and valid 1/1,000th fractional interest in a deposited Preferred Share represented by such Depositary Share. Such representation and warranty shall survive the deposit of the Preferred Shares and the issuance of
Receipts evidencing the Depositary Shares. 
 SECTION 3.05 Taxes. The Company will pay any and all stock transfer, documentary,
stamp and similar taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of Depositary Shares or Preferred Shares or other securities issued on account of Depositary Shares or certificates representing such shares or securities. The
Company, however, will not be required to pay any such tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of Preferred Shares, Depositary Shares or other securities in a name other than that in


  
 11 








 
which the Depositary Shares with respect to which such shares or other securities are issued or delivered were registered, or in respect of any payment to any person other than a payment to the
record holder thereof, and will not be required to make any such issuance, delivery or payment unless and until the person otherwise entitled to such issuance, delivery or payment has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or has
established, to the satisfaction of the Company, that such tax has been paid or is not payable. 
 ARTICLE 4 

THE PREFERRED SHARES; NOTICES 

SECTION 4.01 Cash Distributions. Whenever Computershare shall receive any cash dividend or other cash distribution on the
deposited Preferred Shares, including any cash received upon redemption of any Preferred Shares pursuant to Section 2.03, Computershare shall, subject to Section 3.02, distribute to record holders of Receipts on the record
date fixed pursuant to Section 4.04 such amounts of such sum 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 Company or Computershare shall be required by law to and shall withhold from any cash dividend or other cash distribution in respect of the Preferred Shares represented by the Receipts held by any holder an amount on account of
taxes or as otherwise required by law, regulation or court process, the amount made available for distribution or distributed in respect of Depositary Shares represented by such Receipts subject to such withholding shall be reduced accordingly.
Computershare, however, shall distribute or make available for distribution, as the case may be, only such amount as can be distributed without attributing to any holder of Receipts a fraction of one cent. Any such fractional amounts shall be
rounded down to the nearest whole cent and so distributed to record holders entitled thereto 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 succeeding distribution to record holders of such Receipts. Each holder of a Receipt shall provide the Depositary with a properly completed Form W-8 (i.e., Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E, Form W-8EXP, Form W-8IMY, Form W-8ECI or another
applicable Form W-8) or Form W-9 (which form shall set forth such holder’s certified taxpayer identification number if requested on such 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 Computershare of a portion of any of the distribution to be made hereunder. 

SECTION 4.02 Distributions Other Than Cash. Whenever the Depositary shall receive any distribution other than cash on the
deposited Preferred Shares, the Depositary shall, subject to Section 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 the Receipts held by such holders, in any manner that the Depositary and the Company 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 Company or Computershare withhold an amount because of
taxes) the Depositary deems, after consultation with the Company, such distribution not to be feasible, the Depositary may, with the approval of the Company, adopt such method as it deems equitable and practicable for the purpose of effecting such
distribution, including the 

  
 12 








 
sale of the 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 shall be distributed or made available for distribution, as the case may be, by Computershare to record
holders of receipts as provided by Section 4.01 in the case of a distribution received by cash. The Depositary shall not make any distribution of securities to the holders of Receipts unless the Company shall have provided to the Depositary an
opinion of counsel stating that such securities have been registered under the Securities Act or do not need to be registered. 

SECTION 4.03 Subscription Rights, Preferences or Privileges. If the Company shall at any time offer or cause to be offered to the
persons in whose names deposited Preferred Shares are registered on the books of the Company any rights, preferences or privileges to subscribe for or to purchase any securities or any rights, preferences or privileges of any other nature, such
rights, preferences or privileges shall in each such instance be made available by the Depositary to the record holders of Receipts in such manner as the Company shall instruct (including by the issue to such record holders of warrants representing
such rights, preferences or privileges); provided, however, that (i) if at the time of issue or offer of any such rights, preferences or privileges the Company determines upon advice of its legal counsel that it is not lawful or
feasible to make such rights, preferences or privileges available to the holders of Receipts (by the issue of warrants or otherwise) or (ii) if and to the extent instructed by holders of Receipts who do not desire to exercise such rights,
preferences or privileges, the Depositary shall then, if so directed by the Company and provided with an opinion of counsel that if Depositary undertakes such actions it will not be deemed an “issuer” under the Securities Act or an
“investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and if applicable laws or the terms of such rights, preferences or privileges so permit, sell such rights, preferences or privileges of such holders 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 Depositary shall not make any distribution of such rights, preferences or privileges, unless the Company shall have provided to the Depositary an
opinion of counsel stating that such rights, preferences or privileges have been registered under the Securities Act or do not need to be registered. 

If 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, the Company agrees that it will promptly notify the Depositary of such requirement, that it will promptly file a registration statement
pursuant to the Securities Act with respect to such rights, preferences 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, 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 a registration statement shall have become effective or unless the offering and sale of such securities to such holders are exempt from registration under the provisions
of the Securities Act and the Company shall have provided to the Depositary an opinion of counsel to such effect. 

  
 13 








 If any other action under the law 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, the Company agrees that it will promptly notify the Depositary of such requirement and to 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, preferences or privileges to enable such holders to exercise such rights, preferences or
privileges. 
 The Depositary will not be deemed to have any knowledge of any item for which it is supposed to receive notification under
any section of this Deposit Agreement unless and until it has received such notification. 
 SECTION 4.04 Notice of Dividends;
Fixing of Record Date for Holders of Receipts. Whenever any cash dividend or other cash distribution shall become payable, any distribution other than cash shall be made, or any rights, preferences or privileges shall at any time be offered,
with respect to the deposited Preferred Shares, or whenever the Depositary shall receive notice of (i) any meeting at which holders of such Preferred Shares are entitled to vote or of which holders of such Preferred Shares are entitled to
notice or (ii) any election on the part of the Company to redeem any such Preferred Shares, the Depositary shall in each such instance fix a record date (which shall be the same date as the record date fixed by the Company with respect to the
Preferred Shares) (the “record date”) for the determination of the holders of Receipts who shall be entitled to receive such dividend, distribution, rights, preferences or privileges or the net proceeds of the sale thereof, to give
instructions for the exercise of voting rights at any such meeting or to receive notice of such meeting or whose Depositary Shares are to be so redeemed. 

SECTION 4.05 Voting Rights . Upon receipt of notice of any meeting at which the holders of deposited Preferred Shares are entitled
to vote, the Depositary shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, mail to the record holders of Receipts a notice, which shall be provided by the Company and 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 4.04 will be entitled, subject to any applicable provision of law, to instruct the Depositary as to the
exercise of the voting rights pertaining to the amount of Preferred Shares represented by their respective Depositary Shares and (iii) a brief statement as to the manner in which such instructions may be given. Upon the written request of a
holder of a Receipt on such record date, the Depositary shall, insofar as practicable, vote or cause to be voted the amount of Preferred Shares represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt in accordance with the instructions set
forth in such request. To the extent any such instructions request the voting of a fractional interest of a deposited Preferred Share, 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 Preferred Share is entitled to one vote and, accordingly, each Depositary Share is
entitled to 1/1,000th of a vote. The Company hereby agrees to take all reasonable action that may be deemed necessary by the Depositary in order to enable the Depositary to vote such Preferred
Shares or cause such Preferred Shares to be voted. In the absence of specific instructions from the holder of a Receipt, the Depositary will refrain from voting any Preferred Shares represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt.


  
 14 








 SECTION 4.06 Changes Affecting Preferred Shares and Reclassifications, Recapitalizations,
Etc. Upon any change in liquidation preference, par or stated value, split-up, combination or any other reclassification of the Preferred Shares, or upon any recapitalization, reorganization, merger, amalgamation or consolidation to which the
Company is a party or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, the Depositary shall, upon the written instructions of the Company setting forth any of the following adjustments, (i) reflect such adjustments in the
Depositary’s books and records in (a) the fraction of an interest in a Preferred Share represented by one Depositary Share and (b) the ratio of the redemption price per Depositary Share to the redemption price of a Preferred Share, as
may be required by or as is consistent with the provisions of the Certificate of Designations to fully reflect the effects of such change in liquidation preference, par or stated value, split-up, combination or other reclassification of Preferred
Shares, of such recapitalization, reorganization, merger, amalgamation or consolidation or sale and (ii) treat any shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) that shall be received by the Depositary in exchange for or in
respect of the Preferred Shares as new deposited property under this Deposit Agreement, and Receipts then outstanding shall thenceforth represent the proportionate interests of holders thereof in the new deposited property so received in exchange
for or in respect of such Preferred Shares. In any such case the Depositary may, upon the receipt of written request of the Company, execute and deliver additional Receipts, or may call for the surrender of all outstanding Receipts to be exchanged
for new Receipts specifically describing such new deposited property. 
 Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, holders of
Receipts shall have the right from and after the effective date of any such change in liquidation preference, par or stated value, split-up, combination or other reclassification of the Preferred Shares for any such recapitalization, reorganization,
merger, amalgamation or consolidation or sale to the extent that holders of Preferred Shares had the right, prior to or as of the applicable effective date, to convert, exchange or surrender the Preferred Share represented thereby only into or for,
as the case may be, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property and cash into which such Preferred Shares might have been exchanged or surrendered immediately prior to the effective date of such transaction. 

SECTION 4.07 Inspection of Reports. The Depositary shall make available for inspection by holders of Receipts at the Depositary
Office, and at such other places as it may from time to time deem advisable during normal business hours, any reports and communications received from the Company that are both received by the Depositary as the holder of deposited Preferred Shares
and made generally available to the holders of the Preferred Shares. In addition, the Depositary shall transmit, upon written request by the Company, certain notices and reports to the holders of Receipts as provided in Section 5.05.

 SECTION 4.08 Lists of Receipt Holders. Promptly upon request from time to time by the Company, the Registrar shall furnish to
the Company a list, as of a recent date specified by the Company, of the names, addresses and holdings of Depositary Shares of all persons in whose names Receipts are registered on the books of the Registrar. 

  
 15 








 SECTION 4.09 Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Deposit
Agreement, in the event that the Depositary determines that any distribution in property is subject to any tax or other governmental charge which the Depositary is obligated by law to withhold, the Depositary may dispose of, by public or private
sale, all or a portion of such property in such amounts and in such manner as the Depositary deems necessary and practicable to pay such taxes, and the Depositary shall distribute the net proceeds of any such sale or the balance of any such property
after deduction of such taxes to the holders of Receipts entitled thereto in proportion to the number of Depositary Shares held by them, respectively; provided, however, that in the event the Depositary determines that such
distribution of property is subject to withholding tax only with respect to some but not all holders of Receipts, the Depositary will use its best efforts (i) to sell only that portion of such property distributable to such holders that is
required to generate sufficient proceeds to pay such withholding tax and (ii) to effect any such sale in such a manner so as to avoid affecting the rights of any other holders of Receipts to receive such distribution in property. 

ARTICLE 5 
 THE
DEPOSITARY AND THE COMPANY 
 SECTION 5.01 Maintenance of Offices, Agencies and Transfer Books by the Depositary and the
Registrar. The Depositary shall maintain at the Depositary Office facilities for the execution and delivery, transfer, surrender and exchange, split-up, combination and redemption of Receipts and deposit and withdrawal of Preferred Shares and at
the offices of the Depositary’s Agents, if any, facilities for the delivery, transfer, surrender and exchange, split-up, combination and redemption of Receipts and deposit and withdrawal of Preferred Shares, all in accordance with the
provisions of this Deposit Agreement. 
 The Registrar shall keep books at the Depositary Office for the registration and transfer of
Receipts, which books at all reasonable times shall be open for inspection by the record holders of Receipts as provided by applicable law. The Company 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. 
 If the Receipts or the Depositary Shares evidenced thereby or
the Preferred Shares represented by such Depositary Shares shall be listed on the New York Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange, the Depositary may, with the written approval of the Company, appoint a registrar (acceptable to the Company) for
registration of such Receipts or Depositary Shares in accordance with the requirements of such exchange. Such registrar (which may be the Registrar if so permitted by the requirements of such exchange) may be removed and a substitute registrar
appointed by the Registrar upon the request or with the written approval of the Company. If the Receipts, such Depositary Shares or such Preferred Shares are listed on one or more other stock exchanges, the Registrar will, at the request and expense
of the Company, arrange such facilities for the delivery, transfer, surrender, redemption and exchange of such Receipts, such Depositary Shares or such Preferred Shares as may be required by law or applicable stock exchange regulations. 

SECTION 5.02 Prevention or Delay in Performance by the Depositary, the Depositary’s Agents, the Registrar or the Company. None
of the Depositary, any Depositary’s Agent, any Registrar, any Transfer Agent, or the Company shall incur any liability to any holder of any Receipt, if by reason of any provision of any present or future law or regulation thereunder of the
United States of America or of any other governmental authority or, in the case 

  
 16 








 
of the Depositary, the Depositary’s Agent or the Registrar or Transfer Agent, by reason of any provision, present or future, of the Certificate of Designations or, in the case of the
Company, the Depositary, the Depositary’s Agent, the Transfer Agent or the Registrar, by reason of any act of God or war or other circumstance beyond the control of the relevant party, the Depositary, any Depositary’s Agent, the Transfer
Agent, the Registrar or the Company shall be prevented or forbidden from doing or performing any act or thing that the terms of this Deposit Agreement provide shall be done or performed; nor shall the Depositary, any Depositary’s Agent, the
Transfer Agent, any Registrar or the Company incur any liability to any holder of a Receipt by reason of any nonperformance or delay, caused as aforesaid, in the performance of any act or thing that the terms of this Deposit Agreement provide shall
or may be done or performed, or by reason of any exercise of, or failure to exercise, any discretion provided for in this Deposit Agreement. 

SECTION 5.03 Obligations of the Depositary, the Depositary’s Agents, the Registrar and the Company. The Company 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 from acts or omissions arising out of conduct constituting bad faith, gross negligence or willful
misconduct in the performance of such duties as are specifically set forth in this Deposit Agreement (which bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct must be determined by a final, non-appealable order, judgment, decree or ruling of a court
of competent jurisdiction). Neither the Depositary nor any Depositary’s Agent nor any Transfer Agent or Registrar assumes any obligation and shall not be subject to any liability under this Deposit Agreement to holders of Receipts, the Company
or any other person or entity other than for its bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct (which bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct must be determined by a final, non-appealable order, judgment, decree or ruling of a court of
competent jurisdiction). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the Depositary, nor any Depositary’s Agent nor any Transfer Agent or Registrar shall be liable for any special, indirect, incidental, consequential,
punitive or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, lost profits, even if such person or entity alleged to be liable has knowledge of the possibility of such damages. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the
Depositary’s aggregate liability during any 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 Company to Depositary as fees and charges, but not including reimbursable expenses. 

None of the Depositary, any Depositary’s Agent, any Registrar or Transfer Agent or the Company shall be under any obligation to appear
in, prosecute or defend any action, suit or other proceeding with respect to the deposited Preferred Shares, Depositary Shares or Receipts that 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. 
 None of the Depositary, any Depositary’s Agent, any Registrar or
Transfer Agent or the Company shall be liable for any action or any failure to act by it in reliance upon the advice of legal counsel or accountants, or information provided by any person presenting Preferred Shares for deposit or any holder of a
Receipt. The Depositary, any Depositary’s Agent, any Registrar or Transfer Agent and the Company may each rely and shall each be protected in acting 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. 

  
 17 








 In the event the Depositary shall receive conflicting claims, requests or instructions from any
holders of Receipts, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, the Depositary shall be entitled to act on such claims, requests or instructions received from the Company, and shall incur no liability and shall be entitled to the full
indemnification set forth in Section 5.06 in connection with any action so taken. 
 The Depositary shall not be responsible for
any failure to carry out any instruction to vote any of the deposited Preferred Shares or for the manner or effect of any such vote made, as long as any such action or non-action does not result from bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct
of the Depositary (which bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct must be determined by a final, non-appealable order, judgment, decree or ruling of a court of competent jurisdiction). 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 Deposit Agreement, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Depositary or
any Registrar or Transfer Agent. 
 The Depositary, its parent, affiliate, or subsidiaries, any Depositary’s Agent, and any Registrar
or Transfer Agent may own, buy, sell or deal in any class of securities of the Company and its affiliates and in Receipts or Depositary Shares or become pecuniarily interested in any transaction in which the Company 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 or the Depositary’s Agent hereunder. The Depositary may also act as transfer agent or registrar of any of the securities of the
Company and its affiliates or act in any other capacity for the Company or its affiliates. 
 It is intended that neither the Depositary nor
any Depositary’s Agent shall 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 and any Depositary’s
Agent are acting only in a ministerial capacity as Depositary for the deposited Preferred Shares; provided, however, that the Depositary agrees to comply with all information reporting and withholding requirements applicable to it
under law or this Deposit Agreement in its capacity as Depositary. 
 Neither the Depositary (or its officers, directors, employees, agents
or affiliates) nor any Depositary’s Agent makes any representation or has any responsibility as to the validity of the registration statement pursuant to which the Depositary Shares are registered under the Securities Act, the deposited
Preferred Shares, 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 therein or herein; provided, however, that the
Depositary is responsible for its representations in this Deposit Agreement. 
 The Company agrees that it will register the deposited
Preferred Shares and the Depositary Shares in accordance with the applicable securities laws. 

  
 18 








 In the event the Depositary, the Depositary’s Agent or any Registrar or Transfer Agent
believes any ambiguity or uncertainty exists in any notice, instruction, direction, request or other communication, paper or document received by it pursuant to this Deposit Agreement, the Depositary, the Depositary’s Agent, Transfer Agent or
Registrar shall promptly notify the Company of the details of such alleged ambiguity or uncertainty, and may, in its sole discretion, refrain from taking any action, and the Depositary, the Depositary’s Agent, Transfer Agent or Registrar shall
be fully protected and shall incur no liability to any person from refraining from taking such action, absent bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct (which bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct must be determined by a final,
non-appealable order, judgment, decree or ruling of a court of competent jurisdiction), unless and until (i) the rights of all parties have been fully and finally adjudicated by a court of appropriate jurisdiction or (ii) the Depositary,
the Depositary’s Agent, Transfer Agent or Registrar receives written instructions with respect to such matter signed by the Company that eliminates such ambiguity or uncertainty to the satisfaction of the Depositary, the Depositary’s
Agent, Transfer Agent or Registrar. 
 Whenever in the performance of its duties under this Deposit Agreement, the Depositary, the
Depositary’s Agent, Transfer Agent or Registrar shall deem it necessary or desirable that any fact or matter be proved or established by the Company prior to taking, suffering or omitting to take any action hereunder, such fact or matter
(unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively provided and established by a certificate signed by any one of the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, General Counsel, Chief
Accounting Officer or Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Depositary, the Depositary’s Agent, Transfer Agent or Registrar; and such certificate shall be full and complete authorization and protection to the Depositary, the
Depositary’s Agent, Transfer Agent or Registrar and the Depositary, the Depositary’s Agent, 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 certificate. The Depositary, the Depositary’s Agent, Transfer Agent or Registrar shall not be liable for or by reason of any of the statements of fact or recitals contained in this Deposit Agreement or in
the Receipts (except its countersignature thereof) or be required to verify the same, and all such statements and recitals are and shall be deemed to have been made by the Company only. 

The Depositary, the Depositary’s Agent, Transfer Agent or Registrar 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, Preferred Shares or Depositary Shares. 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no amendment to the Certificate of Designations shall affect the rights, duties, obligations
or immunities of the Depositary, Transfer Agent, the Depositary’s Agent or Registrar hereunder. 
 The Depositary, any Transfer Agent
and any 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;

 (ii) shall have no obligation to make payment hereunder unless the Company shall have provided
the necessary federal or other immediately available funds or securities or property, as the case may be, to pay in full amounts due and payable with respect thereto; 

(iii) shall not be obligated to take any legal or other action hereunder; if, however, the Depositary determines to take any legal or other
action hereunder, and, where the taking of such action might in the Depositary’s judgment subject or expose it to any expense or liability, the Depositary shall not be required to act unless it shall have been furnished with an indemnity
satisfactory to it; 
 (iv) may rely on and shall be authorized and protected in acting or failing to act upon any certificate, instrument,
opinion, notice, letter, facsimile transmission or other document or security delivered to the Depositary and believed by the Depositary to be genuine and to have been signed by the proper party or parties, and shall have no responsibility for
determining the accuracy thereof; 
 (v) may rely on and shall be authorized and protected in acting or failing to act upon the written,
telephonic, electronic and oral instructions, with respect to any matter relating to the Depositary’s actions as depositary covered by this Deposit Agreement (or supplementing or qualifying any such actions) of officers of the Company; 

(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) shall not be
called upon at any time to advise any person with respect to the Depositary Shares or Receipts; 
 (viii) shall not be liable or responsible
for any recital or statement contained in any documents relating hereto or the Depositary Shares or Receipts; and 
 (ix) shall not be liable
in any respect on account of the identity, authority or rights of the parties (other than with respect to the Depositary) executing or delivering or purporting to execute or deliver this Deposit Agreement or any documents or papers deposited or
called for under this Deposit Agreement. 
 The obligations of the Company and the rights of the Depositary set forth in this
Section 5.03 shall survive the replacement, removal or resignation of any Depositary, Registrar, Transfer Agent or Depositary’s Agent or termination of this Deposit Agreement. 

SECTION 5.04 Resignation and Removal of the Depositary; Appointment of Successor Depositary. The Depositary may at any time resign
as Depositary hereunder by notice of its election to do so delivered to the Company, 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 Company by notice of such removal delivered to the Depositary, such removal to take effect
upon the appointment of a successor depositary and its acceptance of such appointment as hereinafter provided. Upon any such removal or appointment, the Company shall send notice thereof by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the holders of
Receipts. 

  
 20 








 In case at any time the Depositary acting hereunder shall resign or be removed, the Company
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 an entity having its principal office in the United States of America and having a combined capital
and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If a successor depositary shall not have been appointed and have accepted appointment in 60 days, the resigning Depositary may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor depositary. Every
successor depositary shall execute and deliver to its predecessor and to the Company 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 Company, 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 rights, title and interest in the deposited Preferred Shares 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. 

Any corporation or other entity into or with which the Depositary may be merged, consolidated or converted, or any corporation or other entity
to which all or a substantial part of the assets of the Depositary may be transferred, shall be the successor of such Depositary without the execution or filing of any document or any further act. Such successor depositary may execute the Receipts
either in the name of the predecessor depositary or in the name of the 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 Notices, Reports and Documents. The Company agrees that it will deliver to the Depositary, and the Depositary, if
requested in writing by the Company, will promptly after receipt of such notice, transmit to the record holders of Receipts, in each case at the address recorded in the Depositary’s books, copies of all notices and reports generally made
available by the Company to holders of the Preferred Shares and not otherwise made publicly available. Such transmission will be at the Company’s expense and the Company 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 Company’s expense such other documents as may be requested by the Company. 

SECTION 5.06 Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall indemnify the Depositary, any Depositary’s Agent and any
Transfer Agent or Registrar against, and hold each of them harmless from, any loss, liability, damage, cost or expense (including the costs and expenses of defending itself) which may arise out of (i) acts performed or omitted in connection
with this Deposit Agreement and the Receipts (a) by the Depositary, any Transfer Agent or Registrar or any of their respective agents (including any Depositary’s Agent), except for any liability arising out of bad faith, gross negligence
or willful misconduct (which bad faith, gross 

  
 21 








 
negligence or willful misconduct must be determined by a final, non-appealable order, judgment, decree or ruling of a court of competent jurisdiction) on the respective parts of any such person
or persons, or (b) by the Company or any of its agents, or (ii) the offer, sale or registration of the Receipts or Preferred Shares pursuant to the provisions hereof. The obligations of the Company and the rights of the Depositary set
forth in this Section 5.06 shall survive the replacement, removal or resignation of any Depositary, Registrar, Transfer Agent or Depositary’s Agent or termination of this Deposit Agreement. In no event shall the Depositary have any
right of set off or counterclaim against the Depositary Shares or the Preferred Shares. 
 SECTION 5.07 Fees, Charges and
Expenses. No charges and expenses of the Depositary or any Depositary’s Agent hereunder shall be payable by any person, except as provided in this Section 5.07. The Company shall pay all transfer and other taxes, assessments and
governmental charges arising solely from the existence of the depositary arrangements. The Company shall also pay all fees and expenses of the Depositary in connection with the initial deposit of the Preferred Shares and the initial issuance of the
Depositary Shares evidenced by the Receipts, any redemption of the Preferred Shares at the option of the Company and all withdrawals of the Preferred Shares by holders of Receipts. All other fees and expenses of the Depositary and any
Depositary’s Agent hereunder and of any Registrar or Transfer Agent (including, in each case, fees and expenses of counsel) incurred in the preparation, delivery, amendment, administration and execution of this Deposit Agreement and incident to
the performance of their respective obligations hereunder will be paid by the Company as previously agreed between the Depositary and the Company. The Depositary (and if applicable, the Transfer Agent and Registrar) shall present its statement for
fees and expenses to the Company once every three months or at such other intervals as the Company and the Depositary may agree. 

SECTION 5.08 Tax Compliance. 

(a) The Depositary, on its own behalf and on behalf of the Company 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. 
 (b) The Depositary shall comply with any direction
received from the Company 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 
 (c) The Depositary shall maintain all appropriate records documenting compliance with such
requirements, and shall make such records available on request to the Company or to its authorized representatives.

 ARTICLE 6 

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION 

SECTION 6.01 Amendment. The form of the Receipts and any provision of this Deposit Agreement may at any time and from time to time
be amended by agreement between the Company and the Depositary without the consent of holders of Receipts in any respect that the Company and the Depositary 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 that are payable by the Company) that (i) shall materially and adversely alter the rights of the holders of Receipts or (ii) would be materially and
adversely inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of the Preferred Shares pursuant to the Certificate of Designations shall be effective unless such amendment shall have been approved by the holders of Receipts evidencing at least
three-fourths of the Depositary Shares then outstanding. In no event shall any amendment impair the right, subject to the provisions of Sections 2.06 and 2.07 and Article 3, of any holder of any Receipts evidencing such
Depositary Shares to surrender any Receipt with instructions to the Depositary to deliver to the holder the deposited Preferred Shares and all money and other property, if any, represented thereby, except in order to comply with mandatory provisions
of applicable law. 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 this Deposit Agreement as
amended thereby. As a condition precedent to the Depositary’s execution of any amendment, the Company shall deliver to the Depositary a certificate from a duly authorized officer of the Company that states that the proposed amendment is in
compliance with the terms of this Section 6.01. 
 SECTION 6.02 Termination. This Deposit Agreement may be
terminated by the Company upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice to the Depositary if the holders of Receipts evidencing a majority of the Depositary Shares then outstanding consent to such termination, whereupon the Depositary shall
deliver or make available to each holder of a Receipt, upon surrender of the Receipt held by such holder, such number of whole or fractional shares of deposited Preferred Shares as are represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt,
together with any other property held by the Depositary in respect of such Receipt. This Deposit Agreement will automatically terminate if (i) all outstanding Depositary Shares shall have been redeemed in accordance with the provisions hereof
or (ii) there shall have been made a final distribution in respect of the deposited Preferred Shares in connection with any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company and such distribution shall have been distributed to the holders
of Receipts entitled thereto. 
 Upon the termination of this Deposit Agreement, the Company shall be discharged from all obligations under
this Deposit Agreement except for its obligations to the Depositary, any Depositary’s Agent and any Transfer Agent or Registrar under Sections 5.03, 5.06 and 5.07.  

ARTICLE 7
