Surrender and Redemption of Receipts

Section 2.01. Form and Transfer of Receipts. Receipts shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A to this Deposit Agreement, with appropriate insertions, modifications and omissions, as hereinafter provided.

Receipts shall be executed by the Depositary by the manual or facsimile signature of a duly authorized officer of the Depositary and, if a Registrar for the Receipts shall have been appointed, countersigned by a duly authorized officer of the Registrar; provided that no Receipt shall be entitled to any benefits under this Deposit Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless it shall have been executed manually or by facsimile by a duly authorized officer of the Depositary or, if a Registrar for the Receipts shall have been appointed, by manual or facsimile signature of a duly authorized officer of the Depositary and countersigned by the manual or facsimile signature of a duly authorized officer of such Registrar; provided further that any such signature or countersignature may be entered electronically. The Depositary shall record on its books each Receipt so signed and delivered as hereinafter provided.

A Receipt may evidence any whole number of Depositary Shares.

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 or required to comply with any applicable law or any regulation thereunder or with the rules and regulations of any securities exchange upon which the 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 a Receipt shall be registered on the books of the Depositary as provided in Section 2.03, the Depositary may, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, treat the holder of record at such time as the absolute owner thereof for the purpose of determining the person entitled to distributions of dividends or other distributions or to any notice provided for in this Deposit Agreement and for all other purposes.

Section 2.02. Deposit of Stock; Execution and Delivery of Receipts in Respect Thereof. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, the Company may from time to time deposit shares of Stock under this Deposit Agreement by delivery to the Depositary of a certificate or certificates for the Stock to be deposited, 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 all such certifications as may be required by the Depositary in accordance with the provisions of this Deposit Agreement, and together with 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 number of Depositary Shares representing such deposited Stock.

Deposited 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 Stock deposited in accordance with the provisions of this Section, together with the other documents required as above specified, and upon recordation of the Stock on the books of the Company (or its duly appointed transfer agent) in the name of the Depositary or its nominee, the Depositary, subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, upon payment of any applicable fees and expenses of the Depositary and any applicable taxes or governmental charges, shall execute and deliver, to or upon the order of the person or persons named in the written order delivered to the Depositary referred to in the first paragraph of this Section, a Receipt or Receipts for the number of Depositary Shares representing the Stock so deposited and registered in such name or names as may be requested by such person or persons. The Depositary shall execute and deliver such Receipt or Receipts at the Depositary’s Office or such other offices, if any, as the Depositary may designate. Delivery at other offices shall be at the risk and expense of the person requesting such delivery.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, pending preparation by the Company of definitive certificates for the Stock to be deposited, the Company may deliver temporary certificates for Stock that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise substantially of the tenor of the definitive certificates for Stock in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the Company may determine. If temporary certificates for Stock are delivered, the Company will cause definitive certificates for Stock to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive certificates for Stock, the temporary certificates for Stock shall be exchangeable for definitive certificates for Stock upon surrender of the temporary certificates for Stock at the Depositary’s Office, without charge to the Depositary.

Section 2.03. Registration of Transfer of Receipts. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, including payment of any applicable

fees and expenses of the Depositary and any applicable taxes or governmental charges as provided in Section 5.07, the Depositary shall register on its books from time to time transfers of Receipts upon any surrender thereof by the holder in person or by duly authorized attorney, properly endorsed or accompanied by a properly executed instrument of transfer. Thereupon the Depositary shall execute a new Receipt or Receipts evidencing the same aggregate number of Depositary Shares as those evidenced by the Receipt or Receipts surrendered and deliver such new Receipt or Receipts to or upon the order of the person entitled thereto.

The Depositary shall not be required (a) to issue, transfer or exchange any Receipts for a period beginning at the opening of business fifteen days next preceding any selection of Depositary Shares and Stock to be redeemed and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing of notice of redemption, or (b) to transfer or exchange for another Receipt any Receipt called or being called for redemption in whole or in part except as provided in Section 2.07.

Section 2.04. Split-ups and Combinations of Receipts; Surrender of Receipts and Withdrawal of 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 Deposit Agreement, the Depositary shall execute and deliver 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.

Any holder of a Receipt or Receipts representing any number of whole shares of Stock may withdraw the Stock and all money and other property, if any, represented thereby by surrendering such Receipt or Receipts at the Depositary’s Office or at such other offices as the Depositary may designate for such withdrawals. Upon payment of applicable charges and expenses as provided in Section 5.07 and all applicable taxes and governmental charges, if any, and 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 Stock and all 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 Stock will not thereafter be entitled to deposit such Stock hereunder or to receive Depositary Shares therefor or a Receipt evidencing such Depositary Shares. If a Receipt delivered by the holder to the Depositary in connection with such withdrawal shall evidence a number of Depositary Shares in excess of the number of Depositary Shares representing the number of whole shares of Stock to be so withdrawn, the Depositary shall at the same time, in addition to such number of whole shares of Stock and such money and other property, if any, to be so withdrawn, deliver to such holder, or pursuant to his order, upon payment of the fees of the Depositary for the withdrawal of Stock as provided in Section 5.07 and payment of all taxes, a new Receipt evidencing such excess number of Depositary Shares. Delivery of the Stock and money and other property, if any, being withdrawn may be made by

the delivery of such certificates, documents of title and other instruments as the Depositary may deem appropriate.

If the Stock and the money and other property, if any, being withdrawn are to be delivered to a person or persons other than the holder of the Receipt or Receipts being surrendered for withdrawal of Stock, such holder shall execute and deliver to the Depositary a written order so directing the Depositary and the Depositary may require that the Receipt or Receipts surrendered by such holder for the withdrawal of such shares of Stock be properly endorsed in blank or accompanied by a properly executed instrument of transfer in blank.

Delivery of the Stock and the money and other property, if any, represented by Receipts surrendered for withdrawal shall be made by the Depositary at the Depositary’s Office, except that, at the request, risk and expense of the holder surrendering such Receipt or Receipts and for the account of the holder thereof, such delivery may be made at such other place as may be designated by such holder.

Section 2.05. Limitations on Execution and Delivery, Transfers, Surrender and Exchange of Receipts. As a condition precedent to the execution and delivery, registration of transfer, split-up, combination, surrender or exchange of any Receipt, the Depositary, any of the Depositary’s Agents or the Company may require payment to it of a sum sufficient for the payment (or, in the event that the Depositary or the Company shall have made such payment, the reimbursement to it) of any charges or expenses payable by the holder of a Receipt pursuant to Section 5.07, may require the production of evidence satisfactory to it as to the identity and genuineness of any signature and may also require compliance with such regulations, if any, as the Depositary or the Company may establish consistent with the provisions of this Deposit Agreement and/or applicable law.

The deposit of Stock may be refused, the delivery of Receipts against 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 Company is closed or (ii) if any such action is deemed 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 provision of this Deposit Agreement.

Section 2.06. Lost Receipts, Etc. In case any Receipt shall be mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Depositary in its discretion may 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. Before the Depositary shall execute and deliver a new Receipt in substitution for a destroyed, lost or stolen Receipt, the holder thereof shall have (i) delivered to the Depositary (a) a request for such execution

and delivery prior to the Depositary having received notice that the Receipt has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, (b) evidence satisfactory to the Depositary of such destruction, loss or theft of such Receipt and of ownership thereof and (c) indemnification satisfactory to the Depositary and (ii) satisfied any other reasonable requirements imposed by the Depositary.

Section 2.07. Optional Redemption of Stock. If the Company shall elect to redeem shares of Stock pursuant to the Certificate, it shall (unless otherwise agreed to in writing with the Depositary) give the Depositary not less than 35 days’ notice of the date of such proposed redemption of Stock, the number of shares of Stock held by the Depositary to be redeemed and the redemption price per share of Stock. The Depositary shall be fully protected and shall incur no liability in its reliance on the information contained in such notice and delivery of such notice to the Depositary shall be conclusive evidence of the permissibility and compliance of such redemption under the Certificate. On the date of such redemption, provided that the Company shall then have paid or caused to be paid in full to the Depositary the redemption price (determined pursuant to the Certificate) of the Stock deposited with the Depositary to be redeemed, the Depositary shall redeem (using the proceeds of such redemption) the Depositary Shares relating to such Stock. The Depositary shall mail, first class postage prepaid, notice of the Company’s redemption of Stock and the proposed simultaneous redemption of the Depositary Shares relating to the Stock to be redeemed, not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption of such Stock and Depositary Shares (the “Redemption Date”), to the holders 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 that, if the Depositary Shares are held through DTC, the Depositary shall give such notice in accordance with the procedures of DTC); but neither failure to mail or otherwise give any such notice to one or more such holders nor any defect in any notice shall affect the sufficiency of the proceedings for redemption as to the other holders. The Company shall provide the Depositary with such notice, and each such notice shall state: (i) the Redemption Date; (ii) the number of Depositary Shares to be redeemed and, if fewer than all the Depositary Shares held by any holder are to be redeemed, the number of Depositary Shares held by such holder to be so redeemed; (iii) the redemption price and (iv) the place or places where Receipts evidencing Depositary Shares to be redeemed are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price. In case fewer than all the outstanding Depositary Shares are to be redeemed, the Depositary Shares to be redeemed shall be selected pro rata (as nearly as may be) or by lot (provided that, if the Depositary Shares are held in book-entry form through DTC, the Depositary Shares to be redeemed shall be selected in accordance with DTC procedures).

Notice having been given by the Depositary as aforesaid, from and after the Redemption Date (unless the Company shall have failed to redeem the shares of Stock to be redeemed by it as set forth in the Company’s notice provided for in the preceding paragraph), all rights of the holders of Receipts evidencing the

Depositary Shares called for redemption (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 redemption price per Depositary Share equal to one-one thousandth of the redemption price per share paid in respect of shares of Stock pursuant to the Certificate plus all money and other property, if any, represented by such Depositary Shares, including all amounts paid by the Company in respect of dividends that on the Redemption Date have accrued on the shares of Stock to be so redeemed and that have not theretofore been paid, after deduction of applicable charges, expenses and taxes and governmental charges, if any. The foregoing shall be subject further to the terms and conditions of the Certificate.

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 the Depositary Shares called for redemption, a new Receipt evidencing the Depositary Shares evidenced by such prior Receipt and not called for redemption.

Except as provided in the preceding paragraph of this Section 2.07, the Depositary shall not be required to transfer or exchange for another Receipt any Receipt evidencing Depositary Shares called or being called for redemption in whole or in part.

The Depositary shall notify the Company of any funds deposited by or for the account of the Company for the purpose of redeeming any Depositary Shares that the holders thereof have failed to redeem after two years from the date of such deposit, and remit such funds to the Company unless otherwise required by any applicable law or regulation. The Company acknowledges that thereafter it remains subject, pursuant to Section 2.07, to any payment obligations due to a Holder that surrenders Depositary Shares that were called for redemption pursuant to such Section and that the Depositary shall have no duty or obligation to pay that Holder, although the Depositary shall notify the Company of any surrender of that kind.

Section 2.08. 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 to destroy all Receipts so cancelled.

Section 2.09. Receipts Issuable in Global Registered Form. If the Company shall determine in a writing delivered to the Depositary that the Receipts are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Registered Receipts, then the Depositary shall, in accordance with the other provisions of this Deposit Agreement, execute and deliver one or more Global

Registered Receipts evidencing the Receipts, which (i) shall represent, and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate liquidation preference of, the Receipts to be represented by such Global Registered Receipt or Receipts, and (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Global Receipt Depository therefor or its nominee.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Deposit Agreement to the contrary, unless otherwise provided in a Global Registered Receipt, such Global Registered Receipt may only be transferred in whole and only by the Global Receipt Depository to its nominee, or by such nominee to the Global Receipt Depository or to another nominee of the Global Receipt Depository, or by the Global Receipt Depository or any nominee thereof to a successor Global Receipt Depository for the Global Registered Receipt selected or approved by the Company or to a nominee of the Global Receipt Depository. Except as provided below, owners solely of beneficial interests in a Global Registered Receipt shall not be entitled to receive physical delivery of the Receipts represented by such Global Registered Receipt. Neither any such beneficial owner nor any direct or indirect participant of a Global Receipt Depository shall have any rights under this Deposit Agreement with respect to any Global Registered Receipt held on their behalf by a Global Receipt Depository and such Global Receipt Depository may be treated by the Company, the Depositary and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or the Depositary as the holder of such Global Registered Receipt for all purposes whatsoever. Unless and until definitive Receipts are delivered to the owners of the beneficial interests in a Global Registered Receipt, (1) the Global Receipt Depository will make book-entry transfers among its participants and receive and transmit all payments and distributions in respect of Global Registered Receipts to such participants, in each case, in accordance with its applicable procedures and arrangements, and (2) whenever any notice, payment or other communication to the holders of Global Registered Receipts is required under this Deposit Agreement, the Company and the Depositary shall give all such notices, payments and communications specified herein to be given to such holders to the Global Receipt Depository.

If an Exchange Event has occurred with respect to any Global Registered Receipt, then, in any such event, the Depositary shall, upon receipt of a written order from the Company for the execution and delivery of individual definitive registered Receipts in exchange for such Global Registered Receipt, execute and deliver, individual definitive registered Receipts, in authorized denominations and of like tenor and terms in an aggregate liquidation preference equal to the liquidation preference of the Global Registered Receipt in exchange for such Global Registered Receipt.

Definitive registered Receipts issued in exchange for a Global Registered Receipt pursuant to this Section shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Global Receipt Depository, pursuant to instructions from its participants, shall instruct the Depositary in writing. The

Depositary shall deliver such Receipts to the persons in whose names such Receipts are so registered.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Deposit Agreement, should the Company determine that the Receipts should be issued as a Global Registered Receipt, or that a Global Registered Receipt should be issued in exchange for definitive registered Receipts, the parties hereto shall comply with the terms of the Letter of Representations.

Article 3
Certain Obligations of Holders of Receipts and the Company

Section 3.01. Filing Proofs, Certificates and Other Information. Any holder of a Receipt may be required from time to time to file such proof of residence, or other matters or other information, to execute such certificates and to make such representations and warranties as the Depositary or the Company may reasonably deem necessary or proper. The Depositary or the Company may withhold the delivery, or delay the registration of transfer, redemption or exchange, of any Receipt or the withdrawal of the Stock represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by any Receipt or the distribution of any dividend or other distribution or the sale of any property or 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. Holders of Receipts shall be obligated to make payments to the Depositary of certain charges and expenses, as provided in Section 5.07. Registration of transfer of any Receipt or any withdrawal of Stock and all money or other property, if any, represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt may be refused until any such payment due is made, and any dividends, interest payments or other distributions may be withheld or any part of or all the Stock or other property represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt and not theretofore sold may be sold for the account of the holder thereof (after attempting by reasonable means to notify such holder prior to such sale), and such dividends, interest payments or other distributions or the proceeds of any such sale may be applied to any payment of such charges or expenses, the holder of such Receipt remaining liable for any deficiency.

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

Article 4
The Deposited Securities; Notices

Section 4.01. Cash Distributions. Whenever the Depositary shall receive any cash dividend or other cash distribution on Stock, the Depositary shall, subject to Sections 3.01 and 3.02, distribute to holders of Receipts on the record date fixed pursuant to Section 4.04, upon payment of any applicable fees and expenses of the Depositary, as provided in Section 5.07 hereof, such amounts of such dividend or distribution as are, as nearly as practicable, in proportion to the respective numbers of Depositary Shares evidenced by the Receipts held by such holders; provided, however, that in case the Company or the Depositary shall be required to withhold and shall withhold from any cash dividend or other cash distribution in respect of the Stock an amount on account of taxes, the amount made available for distribution or distributed in respect of Depositary Shares shall be reduced accordingly. The Depositary shall distribute or make available for distribution, as the case may be, only such amount, however, as can be distributed without attributing to any holder of Depositary Shares a fraction of one cent, and any balance not so distributable shall be held by the Depositary (without liability for interest thereon) and shall be added to and be treated as part of the next sum received by the Depositary for distribution to holders of Receipts then outstanding. In the event that definitive registered Receipts are issued, each holder of such a definitive registered Receipt shall provide the Depositary with a properly completed Form W-8 or W-9 (such Form W-9 shall contain the holder’s certified tax identification number, if required), as may be applicable. Each holder of a Receipt acknowledges that the Depositary may withhold such amounts as are required by law from any of the distributions to be made hereunder.

Section 4.02. Distributions Other Than Cash, Rights, Preferences or Privileges. Whenever the Depositary shall receive any distribution other than cash, rights, preferences or privileges upon Stock, the Depositary shall, subject to Sections 3.01 and 3.02, upon payment of any applicable fees and expenses of the Depositary and any applicable taxes or governmental charges, distribute to 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 may deem equitable and practicable for accomplishing such distribution. If in the opinion of the Depositary such distribution cannot be made proportionately among such holders, or if for any other reason (including any requirement that the Company or the Depositary withhold an amount on account of taxes or governmental charges) 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 sale (at public or private sale) of the securities or property thus received, or any part thereof, 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 or made available for distribution, as the

case may be, by the Depositary to such holders of Receipts as provided by Section 4.01 in the case of a distribution received in cash. The Company shall not make any distribution of such securities unless the Company shall have provided an opinion of counsel stating that such securities have been registered under the Securities Act or do not need to be so 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 Stock is recorded 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, upon payment of any applicable fees and expenses of the Depositary and any applicable taxes or governmental charges, to the holders of Receipts in such manner as the Depositary may determine, either by the issue to such holders of warrants representing such rights, preferences or privileges or by such other method as may be determined by the Depositary with the approval of the Company; provided, however, that (i) if at the time of issue or offer of any such rights, preferences or privileges the Depositary determines that it is not lawful or (after consultation with the Company) not feasible to make such rights, preferences or privileges available to holders of Receipts by the issue of warrants or otherwise, or (ii) if and to the extent so instructed by holders of Receipts who do not desire to exercise such rights, preferences or privileges, then the Depositary may (with approval of the Company in any case where the Depositary has determined that it is not feasible to make such rights, preferences or privileges available), if applicable laws or the terms of such rights, preferences or privileges permit such transfer, sell such rights, preferences or privileges at public or private sale, at such place or places and upon such terms as it may deem proper. The net proceeds of any such sale shall, subject to Sections 3.01 and 3.02, be distributed by the Depositary to the holders of Receipts entitled thereto as provided by Section 4.01 in the case of a distribution received in cash.

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 with the Depositary that it will promptly notify the Depositary of such requirement and will file promptly a registration statement pursuant to such Act with respect to such rights, preferences or privileges and securities and use its reasonable best efforts and take all steps available to it to cause such registration statement to become effective sufficiently in advance of the expiration of such rights, preferences or privileges to enable such holders to exercise such rights, preferences or privileges. In no event shall the Depositary make available to the holders of Receipts any right, preference or privilege to subscribe for or to purchase any securities unless and until such registration statement shall have become effective, or 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.

If any other action under the laws of any jurisdiction or any governmental or administrative authorization, consent or permit is required in order for such rights, preferences or privileges to be made available to holders of Receipts, the Company agrees with the Depositary that it will promptly notify the Depositary of such requirements and that the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to take such action or obtain such authorization, consent or permit sufficiently in advance of the expiration of such rights, preferences or privileges to enable such holders to exercise such rights, preferences or privileges.

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, Etc.; Fixing Record Date for Holders of Receipts. Whenever any cash dividend or other cash distribution shall become payable or any distribution other than cash shall be made, or if rights, preferences or privileges shall at any time be offered with respect to Stock, or whenever the Depositary shall receive notice of (i) any meeting at which holders of Stock are entitled to vote or of which holders of Stock are entitled to notice or (ii) any election on the part of the Company to redeem any shares of Stock, or whenever the Depositary and the Company 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 Company with respect to or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Stock) for the determination of the holders of Receipts who shall be entitled to receive such dividend, distribution, rights, preferences or privileges or the net proceeds of the sale thereof, or to give instructions for the exercise of voting rights at any such meeting, or who shall be entitled to notice of such meeting, or whose Depositary Shares are to be redeemed or for any other appropriate reasons.

Section 4.05. Voting Rights. Upon receipt of notice of any meeting at which the holders of Stock are entitled to vote, the Depositary shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, mail or electronically send to the holders of Receipts entitled thereto a notice that shall contain (i) such information as is contained in such notice of meeting and (ii) a statement that such holders may, subject to any applicable restrictions, instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights pertaining to the amount of 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 Company) and a brief statement as to the manner in which such instructions may be given. Upon the written request of the holders of Receipts on the relevant record date, the Depositary shall endeavor insofar as practicable to vote or cause to be voted, in accordance with the instructions set forth in such requests, the maximum number of whole shares of Stock represented by the Depositary Shares

evidenced by all Receipts as to which any particular voting instructions are received, provided that the Depositary receives such instructions sufficiently in advance of such voting to enable it to so vote or cause such Stock to be voted. 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 Stock or cause such Stock to be voted. In the absence of specific instructions from the holder of a Receipt, the Depositary will abstain from voting (but, in its discretion, not from appearing at any meeting with respect to such Stock unless directed to the contrary by the holders of all the Receipts) to the extent of the Stock represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt.

Section 4.06. Changes Affecting Deposited Securities and Reclassifications, Recapitalizations, Etc. Upon any change in par value or liquidation preference, split-up, combination or any other reclassification of the Stock, or upon any recapitalization, reorganization, merger, amalgamation or consolidation affecting the Company or to which it is a party, the Depositary may in its discretion with the approval of, and shall upon the instructions of, the Company, and (in either case) in such manner as the Depositary may deem equitable, (i) make such adjustments as are certified by the Company in the fraction of an interest represented by one Depositary Share in one share of Stock as may be necessary fully to reflect the effects of such change in par value or liquidation preference, split-up, combination or other reclassification of Stock, or of such recapitalization, reorganization, merger, amalgamation or consolidation and (ii) treat any securities that shall be received by the Depositary in exchange for or upon conversion of or in respect of the Stock as new deposited securities so received in exchange for or upon conversion or in respect of such Stock. In any such case the Depositary may in its discretion, with the approval 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 securities. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, holders of Receipts shall have the right from and after the effective date of any such change in par value or liquidation preference, split-up, combination or other reclassification of the Stock or any such recapitalization, reorganization, merger, amalgamation or consolidation to surrender such Receipts to the Depositary with instructions to convert, exchange or surrender the Stock 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 the Stock represented by such Receipts might have been converted or for which such Stock might have been exchanged or surrendered immediately prior to the effective date of such transaction.

Section 4.07. [Reserved]

Section 4.08. Lists of Receipt Holders. Promptly upon request from time to time by the Company, but in no event more frequently than quarterly, the Depositary shall furnish to it a list, as of a recent date, of the names, addresses and holdings of all holders of Receipts.

Article 5
The Depositary, the Depositary’s Agents, the Registrar and the
Company

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

The Depositary shall keep books at the Depositary’s Office for the registration and registration of transfer of Receipts, which books at all reasonable times shall be open for inspection by the holders of Receipts; provided that any such holder requesting to exercise such right shall certify to the Depositary that such inspection shall be for a proper purpose reasonably related to such person’s interest as an owner of Depositary Shares evidenced by the Receipts.

The Depositary may close such books, at any time or from time to time, when deemed expedient by it in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder.

The Depositary may, with the approval of the Company, 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 Stock represented by such Depositary Shares shall be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the Depositary will act as Registrar or appoint a Registrar (acceptable to the Company) for registration of such Receipts or Depositary Shares in accordance with any requirements of such Exchange. Such Registrar (which may be the Depositary if so permitted by the requirements of such Exchange) may be removed and a substitute registrar appointed by the Depositary upon the request or with the approval of the Company. If the Receipts or such Depositary Shares are listed on one or more other stock exchanges, the Depositary will, at the request of the Company, arrange such facilities for the delivery, registration, registration of transfer, surrender and exchange of such Receipts or such Depositary Shares as may be required by law or applicable stock exchange regulation.

Section 5.02. Prevention of or Delay in Performance by the Depositary or the Company. None of the Depositary, the Depositary’s Agents, the Registrar 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 by reason of any provision, present or future, of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate

of Incorporation, as amended (including the Certificate), or of the Depositary Shares or by reason of forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, industrial accidents, act of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes, outbreaks of infectious disease or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities or communications services, the Depositary, the Depositary’s Agents, the Registrar or the Company shall be prevented or forbidden from, delayed in, or subjected to any penalty on account of, doing or performing any act or thing which the terms of this Deposit Agreement provide shall be done or performed; nor shall the Depositary, the Depositary’s Agents, the Registrar, or the Company incur liability to any holder of a Receipt (i) by reason of any nonperformance or delay, caused as aforesaid, in the performance of any act or thing which the terms of this Deposit Agreement shall provide shall or may be done or performed, or (ii) by reason of any exercise of, or failure to exercise, any discretion provided for in this Deposit Agreement except, in the case of any such exercise or failure to exercise discretion not caused as aforesaid, if caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of the party charged with such exercise or failure to exercise.

Where, by the terms of a distribution pursuant to Sections 4.01 or 4.02 of this Deposit Agreement, or an offering or distribution pursuant to Section 4.03 of this Deposit Agreement, or for any other reason, such distribution or offering may not be made available to holders of Receipts, and it is impractical or unreasonable for the Depositary to dispose of such distribution or offering on behalf of such holders and make the net proceeds available to such holders, then the Depositary shall not make such distribution or offering, and shall allow any rights, if applicable, to lapse.

Section 5.03. Obligation of the Depositary and the Company. None of the Depositary, the Depositary’s Agents, the Registrar or the Company assumes any obligation or shall be subject to any liability under this Deposit Agreement other than to perform those duties as are specifically set forth in this Deposit Agreement without negligence or willful misconduct and no covenants or obligations shall be implied in or read into this Deposit Agreement. The Depositary shall not be a fiduciary or have any fiduciary duty to any Holder or beneficial owner of Depositary Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Deposit Agreement to the contrary, neither the Depositary, nor the Depositary’s Agent nor any Registrar nor the Company shall be liable in any event for special, punitive, incidental, indirect or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits) irrespective of whether such entity or person has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

None of the Depositary, the Depositary’s Agents, the Registrar or the Company shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any action, suit or other proceeding in respect of the Stock, the Depositary Shares or the Receipts on behalf of the Holders or any other person.

None of the Depositary, the Depositary’s Agents, the Registrar 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 from any person presenting Stock for deposit, any holder of a Receipt or any other person believed by it to be competent to give such advice or information. The Depositary, the Depositary’s Agents, the Registrar 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.

The Depositary shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that the Depositary was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts. A “Responsible Officer” is any vice president, any assistant vice president, any assistant treasurer, any trust officer or assistant trust officer, any associate or senior associate or any other officer of the Depositary customarily performing functions similar to those performed by any of the above designated officers and also means, with respect to a particular corporate trust matter, any other officer to whom such matter is referred because of his knowledge of and familiarity with the particular subject and who, in each case, shall have direct responsibility for the administration of this Deposit Agreement.

The Depositary shall not be responsible for any failure to carry out any instruction to vote any of the shares of Stock or for the manner or effect of any such vote made, as long as any such action or non-action is in good faith. The Depositary undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Deposit Agreement, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Deposit Agreement against the Depositary or any Registrar. The Depositary, the Depositary’s Agents and any Registrar may own and deal in any class of securities of the Company and its affiliates and in Receipts. The Depositary may also act as transfer agent or registrar of any of the securities of the Company and its affiliates.

No provision of this Deposit Agreement shall require the Depositary to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

The Depositary shall not be obligated to segregate money held by it under this Deposit Agreement from other monies held by it, except as required by law.

In the event the Depositary believes any ambiguity or uncertainty exists hereunder or in any notice, instruction, direction, request or other communication, paper or document received by the Depositary hereunder, or in the administration of any of the provisions of this Deposit 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 Company, refrain from taking any action and shall be fully protected and shall not be liable in any way to the Company, any 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 Company which eliminates such ambiguity or uncertainty to the satisfaction of the Depositary or which proves or establishes the applicable matter to the satisfaction of the Depositary.

The Depositary undertakes not to execute and deliver any Receipt other than to evidence the Depositary Shares representing the Stock that has been delivered to and is then on deposit with the Depositary. The Depositary also undertakes not to sell (except as provided herein), pledge or lend Stock held by it as Depositary.

No disclaimer of liability by the Company under the Securities Act is intended by any provision 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 delivering written notice of its election to do so to the Company, such resignation to take effect upon the appointment of a successor Xxxxxxxxxx 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 hereunder and its acceptance of such appointment as hereinafter provided.

In case at any time the Depositary acting hereunder shall resign or be removed, the 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 a bank or trust company having its principal office in the United States of America and having a combined capital and surplus 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 petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Xxxxxxxxxx. 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 upon the written request of the Company, shall 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 Stock and any moneys or property held hereunder to such successor, and shall deliver to such successor a list of the holders of all outstanding Receipts and such records, books and other information in its possession relating thereto. Any successor Depositary shall promptly mail notice of its appointment to the holders of Receipts.

Any entity into or with which the Depositary may be merged, consolidated or converted shall be the successor of such 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 execute the Receipts in the name of the predecessor Depositary or in the name of the successor Depositary.

Section 5.05. Corporate Reports. The Company agrees that it will transmit to the holders of Receipts, in each case at the addresses furnished to it pursuant to Section 4.08, all reports (including without limitation financial statements) required by law or by the rules of any national securities exchange upon which the Stock, the Depositary Shares or the Receipts are listed, to be furnished to the holders of Receipts. Such transmission will be at the Company’s expense. No report of that kind shall constitute a notice or constructive notice to the Depositary of any matter or information contained in or determinable from that report.

Section 5.06. Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything in Section 5.03 to the contrary, the Company shall indemnify the Depositary, any Depositary’s Agent and any Registrar (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 or, in connection with acts performed, suffered or omitted to be taken in connection with this Deposit Agreement and the Receipts by the Depositary, any Registrar or any of their respective agents (including any Depositary’s Agent) and any transactions or documents contemplated hereby, except for any liability arising out of negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the respective parts of any such person or persons. The obligations of the Company set forth in this Section 5.06 shall survive any succession of any Depositary, Registrar or Depositary’s Agent.

Any person seeking indemnification hereunder (an “indemnified person”) shall notify the person from whom it is seeking indemnification in writing (the “indemnifying person”) of the commencement of any action or claim in respect of which indemnification may be sought promptly after such indemnified person becomes aware of such commencement (provided that the failure to make such notification shall not affect such indemnified person’s rights under this Section 5.06) and shall consult in good faith with the indemnifying person as to the conduct of the defense of such action or claim, which shall be reasonable in the circumstances. No indemnified person shall compromise or settle any such action or claim without the consent of the indemnifying person.

Section 5.07. Charges and Expenses. The Company shall pay all transfer and other taxes and governmental charges arising solely from the existence of the depositary arrangements. The Company shall pay all charges of the Depositary in connection with the initial deposit of the Stock and the initial issuance of the Depositary Shares, all withdrawals of shares of the Stock by Holders of Depositary Shares and the registration of transfer of title to any Depositary Shares. All other transfer and other taxes and governmental charges shall be at the expense of holders of Depositary Shares. If, at the request of a holder of Receipts, the Depositary incurs charges or expenses for which it or the Company is not otherwise liable hereunder, such holder will be liable for such charges and expenses. All charges and expenses of the Depositary and any Depositary’s Agent hereunder and of any Registrar (including, in each case, fees and expenses of counsel) incident to the performance of their respective obligations hereunder will be paid by the Company upon consultation and agreement between the Depositary and the Company as to the amount and nature of such charges and expenses. The Depositary shall present its statement for charges and expenses to the Company once every three months or at such other intervals as the Company and the Depositary may agree.

Article 6
Amendment and Termination

Section 6.01. Amendment. The form of the Receipts and any provisions of this Deposit Agreement may at any time and from time to time be amended by agreement between the Company and the Depositary in any respect which they may deem necessary or desirable; provided, however, that no such amendment which shall materially and adversely alter the rights of the holders of Receipts shall be effective unless such amendment shall have been approved by the holders of at least a majority of the Depositary Shares then outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may any amendment impair the right of any holder of any Receipts, upon surrender of such Receipts and subject to any conditions specified in this Deposit Agreement, to receive shares of Stock and any money or other property 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 in accordance with its terms shall be deemed, by continuing to hold such Receipt, to consent and agree to such amendment and to be bound by the Deposit Agreement as amended thereby.

Section 6.02. Termination. This Deposit Agreement may be terminated by the Company at any time upon not less than 60 days’ prior written notice to the Depositary, in which case, upon a date that is not later than 30 days after the date of such notice, the Depositary shall deliver or make available for delivery to holders of Receipts, upon surrender of the Receipt or Receipts held by such holder, and upon payment of any applicable taxes or governmental charges, such number of whole shares of Stock represented by such Receipt or Receipts. The Depositary may likewise terminate this Deposit Agreement by mailing notice of

such termination to the Company and the holders of all Receipts then outstanding if at any time 60 days shall have expired after the Depositary shall have delivered to the Company a written notice of its election to resign and a successor Depositary shall not have been appointed and accepted its appointment as provided in Section 5.04. If the holder of any Receipt or Receipts shall not have surrendered such Receipt or Receipts in exchange for whole shares of Stock on or prior to the effective date of termination of this Deposit Agreement, such holder shall for all purposes, including the payment of dividends, be deemed to be a holder of the appropriate number of whole shares of Stock previously represented by such Receipt or Receipts and shall thereafter surrender to the Company such Receipt or Receipts in exchange for whole shares of Stock.

If any Receipts shall remain outstanding after the date of termination, the Depositary thereafter shall discontinue the registration of transfers of Receipts, shall suspend the distribution of dividends to the holders thereof, and shall not give any further notices or perform any further acts under this Deposit Agreement, except that the Depositary shall continue to collect dividends and other distributions pertaining to the Stock, shall sell rights as provided in this Deposit Agreement, and shall continue to deliver such Stock, together with any dividends or other distributions received with respect thereto and the net proceeds of the sale of any rights or other property, in exchange for Receipts surrendered to the Depositary (after deducting, in each case, the fee of the Depositary for the surrender of a Receipt, any expenses for the account of the holder of such Receipt in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, and any applicable taxes or governmental charges). At any time after the expiration of one year from the date of termination, the Depositary may sell such Stock then held hereunder and may thereafter hold uninvested the net proceeds of any such sale, together with any other cash then held by it hereunder, without liability for interest, for the pro rata benefit of the holders which have not theretofore surrendered their Receipts. After making such sale, the Depositary shall be discharged from all obligations under this Deposit Agreement, except to account for such net proceeds and other cash (after deducting, in each case, the fee of the Depositary for the surrender of a Receipt, any expenses for the account of the holder of such Receipt in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, and any applicable taxes or governmental charges).

This Deposit Agreement shall automatically terminate and all outstanding Receipts and Depositary Shares shall be automatically cancelled if there shall have been made a final distribution in respect of the Stock in connection with any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company and such distribution shall have been distributed to the holders of Receipts pursuant to Sections 4.01 or 4.02, as applicable.

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 and any Depositary’s Agent and any Registrar under Sections 5.06 and 5.07.
