accepts such appointment. 
  

	2.	Form and Execution of Subscription Certificates. 

 A. Each Subscription Certificate shall be irrevocable and non-transferable. The Agent shall, in its capacity as Transfer Agent of the Company, maintain a register of Subscription Certificates and the
holders of record thereof (each of whom shall be deemed a “Shareholder” hereunder for purposes of determining the rights of holders of Subscription Certificates). Each Subscription Certificate shall, subject to the provisions thereof,

 (1) With respect to Record
Date Shareholders only, the right to acquire during the Subscription Period, as defined in the Prospectus, at the Subscription Price, as defined in the 







 
Prospectus, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to one share of Common Stock for every one Right (the “Primary Subscription Right”); and 

(2) With respect to Record Date Shareholders only, the right to subscribe for additional shares of Common Stock, subject to the
availability of such shares and to the allotment of such shares as may be available among Record Date Shareholders who exercise Over-Subscription Rights on the basis specified in the Prospectus; provided, however, that such Record Date Shareholder
has exercised all Primary Subscription Rights issued to him or her (the “Over-Subscription Privilege”). 
 B. Create a
special account for the issuance of shares of Common Stock to shareholders who have exercised the rights set forth herein. Prior to the issuance of Common Stock as set forth herein, the Company shall provide an opinion of counsel to set up reserve

B. Upon the written advice of the Company, signed by any of its duly authorized officers, as to the Record Date, the Agent shall, from a
list of the Company Shareholders as of the Record Date to be prepared by the Agent in its capacity as Transfer Agent of the Company, prepare and record Subscription Certificates in the names of the Shareholders, setting forth the number of Rights to
subscribe for the Company’s Common Stock calculated on the basis of one Right for ____ shares of Common Stock recorded on the books in the name of each such Shareholder as of the Record Date. The number of Rights that are issued to Record Date
Shareholders will be rounded up, by the Agent, to the nearest number of Full Rights as Fractional Rights will not be issued. Each Subscription Certificate shall be dated as of the Record Date and shall be executed manually or by facsimile signature
of a duly authorized officer of the Subscription Agent. Upon the written advice, signed as aforesaid, as to the effective date of the Registration Statement, the Agent shall promptly countersign and deliver the Subscription Certificates, together

instruction letter, a special notice and other documents as the Company deems necessary or appropriate, if any, but not Subscription Certificates to Record Date Shareholders whose record addresses are outside the United States (including its
territories and possessions and the District of Columbia ) (“Foreign Record Date 







 
Shareholders”). The Rights to which such Subscription Certificates relate will be held by the Agent for such Foreign Record Date Shareholders’ accounts until instructions are received
to exercise, sell or transfer the Rights. 
  

	4.	Exercise. 

 A.
Record Date Shareholders may acquire shares of Common Stock on Primary Subscription and pursuant to the Over-Subscription Privilege by delivery to the Agent as specified in the Prospectus of (i) the Subscription Certificate with respect
thereto, duly executed by such Shareholder in accordance with and as provided by the terms and conditions of the Subscription Certificate, together with (ii) the estimated purchase price, as disclosed in the Prospectus, for each share of Common
Stock subscribed for by exercise of such Rights, in U.S. dollars by money order or check drawn on a bank in the United States, in each case payable to the order of the Company or Computershare. 

B. Rights may be exercised at any time after the date of issuance of the Subscription Certificates with respect thereto but no later than
5:00 P.M. New York time on such date as the Company shall designate to the Agent in writing (the “Expiration Date”). For the purpose of determining the time of the exercise of any Rights, delivery of any material to the Agent shall be
deemed to occur when such materials are received at the Shareholder Services Division of the Agent specified in the Prospectus. 

C. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4 (a) and 4 (b) regarding delivery of an executed Subscription Certificate to
the Agent prior to 5:00 P.M. New York time on the Expiration Date, if prior to such time the Agent receives a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery by facsimile (telecopy) or otherwise from a bank, a trust company or a New York Stock Exchange member
guaranteeing delivery of (i) payment of the full Subscription Price for the shares of Common Stock subscribed for on Primary Subscription and any additional shares of Common Stock subscribed for pursuant to the Over-Subscription Privilege, and
(ii) a properly completed and executed Subscription Certificate, then such exercise of Primary Subscription Rights and Over-Subscription Rights shall be regarded as timely, subject, however, to receipt of the duly executed Subscription
Certificate and full payment for the Common Stock by the Agent within three Business Days (as defined below) after the Expiration Date (the “Protect Period”) and full payment for their Common Stock within ten Business Days after the
Confirmation Date (as defined in Section 4(d)). For the purposes of the Prospectus and this Agreement, “Business Day” shall mean any day on which trading is conducted on the New York Stock Exchange. 

D. As soon as practicable after the Expiration Date Computershare shall send to each exercising shareholder (or, if shares of Common
Stock on the Record Date are held by Cede & Co. or any other depository or nominee, to Cede & Co. or such other depository or nominee) a confirmation showing the number of shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Primary
Subscription, and, if applicable, the Over-Subscription Privilege, the per share and total purchase price for such shares, and any additional amount payable to the Company by such shareholder or any excess to be refunded by the Company to such
shareholder in the form of a check and stub, along with a letter explaining the allocation of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Over-Subscription Privilege. 
 E. Any additional payment required from a shareholder must be received by Computershare within ten Business Days after the Confirmation Date and any excess payment to be refunded by the Company to a
shareholder will be mailed by Computershare within ten Business Days after the Confirmation Date. If a shareholder does not make timely payment of any additional amounts due in accordance with Section 4(D), Computershare will consult with








 
the Company in accordance with Section 5 as to the appropriate action to be taken. Computershare will not issue or deliver certificates or Statements of Holding for shares subscribed for
until payment in full therefore has been received, including collection of checks and payment pursuant to notices of guaranteed delivery. 
  

	5.	Validity of Subscriptions. 

 Irregular subscriptions not otherwise covered by specific instructions herein shall be submitted to an appropriate officer of the Company and handled in accordance with his or her instructions. Such
instructions will be documented by the Agent indicating the instructing officer and the date thereof. 
  

	6.	Over-Subscription. 


If, after allocation of shares of Common Stock to Record Date Shareholders, there remain unexercised Rights, then the Agent shall allot
the shares issuable upon exercise of such unexercised Rights (the “Remaining Shares”) to shareholders who have exercised all the Rights initially issued to them and who wish to acquire more than the number of shares for which the Rights
issued to them are exercisable. Shares subscribed for pursuant to the Over-Subscription Privilege will be allocated in the amounts of such over-subscriptions. If the number of shares for which the Over-Subscription Privilege has been exercised is
greater than the Remaining Shares, the Agent shall allocate the Remaining Shares to Record Date Shareholders exercising Over-Subscription Privilege based on the number of shares of Common Stock owned by them on the Record Date. Any remaining shares
to be issued shall be allocated to holders of Rights acquired in the secondary market based on the number of Rights exercised by such holders of Rights. The percentage of Remaining Shares each over-subscribing Record Date Shareholder or other Rights
holder may acquire will be rounded up or down to result in delivery of whole shares of Common Stock. The Agent shall advise the Company immediately upon the completion of the allocation set forth above as to the total number of shares subscribed and
distributable. 
  

	7.	Delivery of Shares. 


The Agent will deliver (i) certificates or Statement of Holding reflecting new shares of Company Common Stock in the Direct
Registration System, representing those shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to exercise of Primary Subscription Rights as soon as practicable after the corresponding Rights have been validly exercised and full payment for such shares has been
received and cleared and (ii) certificates or Statements of Holding representing those shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of the Over-Subscription Privilege as soon as practicable after the Expiration Date and after all allocations have
been effected. 
  

	8.	Holding Proceeds of Rights Offering. 

 A. All proceeds received by Computershare from Shareholders in respect of the exercise of Rights shall be held by Computershare, on behalf of the Company, in a segregated account (the
“Account”). No interest shall accrue to the Company or shareholders on funds held in the Account pending disbursement in the manner described in Section 4(E) above. 

B. Computershare shall deliver all proceeds received in respect of the exercise of Rights to the Company as promptly as practicable, but
in no event later than ten business days after the Confirmation Date. 
 C. The Company acknowledges that the bank accounts
maintained by Computershare in connection with the services provided under this Agreement will be in its name and that Computershare may receive investment earnings in connection with the investment at Computershare’s risk and for its benefit
of funds held in those accounts from time to time. 








	9.	Reports. 

 Daily,
during the period commencing on __________, until termination of the Subscription Period, the Agent will report by telephone or telecopier, confirmed by letter, to an Officer of the Company, data regarding Rights exercised, the total number of
shares of Common Stock subscribed for, and payments received therefor, bringing forward the figures from the previous day’s report in each case so as to show the cumulative totals and any such other information as may be mutually determined by
the Company and the Agent. 
  

	10.	Loss or Mutilation. 


If any Subscription Certificate is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Agent may, on such terms which will indemnify and protect the
