FORM OF RECEIPTS, DEPOSIT OF STOCK, EXECUTION AND
DELIVERY, TRANSFER, SURRENDER AND REDEMPTION OF RECEIPTS

        SECTION 2.01.         Form and Transferability of Receipts. Receipts shall be engraved or printed or lithographed with steel-engraved borders and underlying tint and shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A annexed to this Deposit Agreement, with appropriate insertions, modifications and omissions, as hereinafter provided. Receipts shall be executed by the Depositary by the manual signature of a duly authorized signatory of the Depositary, provided that such signature may be a facsimile if a Registrar (other than the Depositary) shall have countersigned the Receipts by manual 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.

        Except as the Depositary may otherwise determine, Receipts shall be in denominations of any number of whole Depositary Shares. All Receipts shall be dated the date of their execution.

        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 regulation 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 by reason of the date of issuance of the Stock or otherwise.

        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 a Receipt shall be transferred on the books of the Depositary as provided in Section 2.05, 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 distribution 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 such 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 (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 number of Depositary Shares representing such deposited Stock.

        If required by the Depositary, Stock presented for deposit at any time whether or not the register of stockholders 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 Stock or to receive other property that any person in whose name the Stock is or has been registered may thereafter receive upon or in respect of such deposited Stock, 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 Stock to be deposited hereunder, together with the other documents specified above, the Depositary shall, as soon as transfer and registration can be accomplished, present such certificate or certificates to the registrar and transfer agent of the Stock for transfer and registration in the name of the Depositary or its nominee of the Stock being deposited. Deposited Stock shall be held by the Depositary in an account to be established by the Depositary at the Corporate Office or at such other office as the Depositary shall determine.

        Upon receipt by the Depositary of a certificate or certificates for Stock to be deposited hereunder, together with the other documents specified above, and upon recordation of the Stock on the books of the Company in the name of the Depositary or its nominee, the Depositary, subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, shall execute and deliver to, or upon the order of, the person or persons named in the written order delivered to the Depositary referred to in the first paragraph of this Section 2.02, a Receipt or Receipts for the number of whole 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 Corporate 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. In each case, delivery will be made only upon payment to the Depositary of all taxes and other governmental charges and any fees payable in connection with such deposit and the transfer of the deposited Stock.

        Other than in the case of splits, combinations or other reclassifications affecting the Stock, or in the case of dividends or other distributions of Stock, if any, there shall be deposited hereunder not more than the number of shares constituting the Stock as set forth in the Certificate of Designation, as such may be amended.

        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 Stock for Cash. Whenever the Company shall elect to redeem shares of Stock for cash, it shall (unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Depositary) give the Depositary not less than 45 days prior written notice of the date of such proposed redemption of Stock and of the number of such shares of Stock held by the Depositary to be redeemed. On the date of such redemption, provided that the Company shall then have paid in full to the Depositary the cash redemption price (determined pursuant to the Certificate of Designation) of the Stock deposited with the Depositary to be redeemed, the Depositary shall redeem (using the proceeds of such redemption) the number of Depositary Shares representing such redeemed Stock. The Depositary shall mail, first class postage prepaid, notice of the redemption of Stock and the proposed simultaneous redemption of the Depositary Shares representing the Stock to be redeemed, not less than 30 and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption of such Stock and Depositary Shares (the “cash redemption date”), to the holders of record on the record date fixed for such redemption pursuant to Section 4.04 hereof 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; but neither failure to mail 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 other holders. The Company shall provide the Depositary with such notice, and each such notice shall state: the record date for the purposes of such redemption; the cash redemption date; the number of Depositary Shares to be redeemed; if fewer than all the Depositary Shares held by any holder are to be redeemed, the number of such Depositary Shares held by such holder to be so redeemed; the cash redemption price; the place or places where Receipts evidencing Depositary Shares to be redeemed are to be surrendered for payment of the cash redemption price; and that from and after the cash redemption date dividends in respect of the Stock represented by the Depositary Shares to be redeemed will cease to accrue and the conversion rights in respect of such Stock will terminate at the close of business on the last business day preceding such cash redemption date. In case fewer than all the outstanding Depositary Shares are to be redeemed, the Depositary Shares to be redeemed shall be selected by lot or pro rata (as nearly as may be) or in any other equitable manner determined by the Company.

        Notice having been mailed by the Depositary as aforesaid, from and after the cash 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 dividends in respect of the shares of Stock called for redemption shall cease to accrue, the conversion rights in respect of such Stock shall terminate, 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 cash 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 one quarter of the cash redemption price per share paid in respect of the shares of Stock pursuant to the Certificate of Designation plus any other money and other property represented by each such Depositary Share. The foregoing shall be subject further to the terms and conditions of the Certificate of Designation.

 

5

 

        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 cash 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.

        The Depositary shall not be required (a) to issue, transfer or exchange any Receipts for a period beginning at the opening of business 15 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 of Depositary Shares or (b) to transfer or exchange for another Receipt any Receipt evidencing Depositary Shares called or being called for redemption in whole or in part, except as provided in the preceding paragraph of this Section 2.03.

        SECTION 2.04.         Optional Exchange of Stock for Exchange Debentures. Whenever the Company shall elect to exchange all of the shares of Stock for Exchange Debentures, it shall (unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Depositary) give the Depositary not less than 45 days prior written notice of the date of such proposed exchange of Stock. On the date of such exchange, provided that the Company shall then have issued and deposited with the Depositary the Exchange Debentures for the Stock to be exchanged, the Depositary shall exchange the Depositary Shares representing the Stock in exchange for the Exchange Debentures issued in such exchange. The Depositary shall mail notice of such exchange and the proposed simultaneous exchange of the Depositary Shares representing the Stock to be exchanged, first class postage prepaid, not less than 30 and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for exchange for such Stock and Depositary Shares (the “exchange date”), to the holders of record on the record date for such exchange (determined pursuant to Section 4.04) of the Receipts evidencing the Depositary Shares to be so exchanged, at the addresses of such holders as the same appear on the records of the Depositary; but neither failure to mail any such notice to one or more such holders nor any defect in any notice shall affect the sufficiency of the proceedings for exchange as to other holders. The Company shall provide the Depositary with such notice and each such notice shall state the record date for the purposes of such exchange, the exchange date, the place or places where Receipts evidencing Depositary Shares are to be surrendered for exchange, that dividends in respect of the Stock represented by the Depositary Shares to be exchanged will cease to accrue at the close of business on such exchange date, and that the conversion rights in respect thereof will terminate at the close of business on the last business day preceding such exchange date.

 

6

 

        Notice having been mailed by the Depositary as aforesaid, from and after the exchange date (unless default shall be made by the Company in issuing the Exchange Debentures in exchange for, or in making the final dividend payment on, the outstanding shares of Stock on the exchange date), all dividends in respect of the shares of Stock so called for exchange shall cease to accrue, the conversion rights in respect thereof will terminate, the Depositary Shares being exchanged shall be deemed no longer to be outstanding, all rights of the holders of Receipts evidencing such Depositary Shares (except the right to receive the Exchange Debentures to be exchanged therefor) shall, to the extent of such Depositary Shares, cease and terminate and, upon surrender in accordance with said notice of the Receipts evidencing any such Depositary Shares (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Company or the Depositary shall so require and the notice shall so state), such Depositary Shares shall be accepted in exchange for such Exchange Debentures at an exchange rate per Depositary Share equal to one quarter of the exchange rate per share in respect of the shares of Stock plus all money and other property, if any, represented by each such Depositary Share, including all amounts paid by the Company in respect of dividends which on the exchange date have accrued on the shares of Stock to be so exchanged and have not theretofore been paid. The foregoing shall further be subject to the terms and conditions of the Certificate of Designation.

        SECTION 2.05.         Transfer of Receipts. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, the Depositary shall make transfers on its books from time to time of Receipts upon any surrender thereof by the holder in person or by a duly authorized attorney, properly endorsed or accompanied by a properly executed instrument of transfer or endorsement, together with evidence of the payment of any transfer taxes as may be required by law. Upon such surrender, the Depositary 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 2.06.         Combinations and Split-ups of Receipts. Upon surrender of a Receipt or Receipts at the Corporate 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; provided, however, that the Depositary shall not issue any Receipt evidencing a fractional Depositary Share.

        SECTION 2.07.         Surrender of Receipts and Withdrawal of Stock. Any holder of a Receipt or Receipts may withdraw any or all of the Stock represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipts and all money and other property, if any, represented by such Depositary Shares by surrendering such Receipt or Receipts at the Corporate Office 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 stock (or money and other property, if any, represented thereby) which has previously been called for redemption or exchange. After such surrender, 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 shares of Stock 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 Stock will not thereafter be entitled to deposit such stock 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 whole Depositary Shares representing the number of shares of Stock to be withdrawn, the Depositary shall at the same time, in addition to such number of shares of Stock and such money and other property, if any, to be withdrawn, deliver to such holder, or (subject to Section 2.05) upon his order, a new Receipt or Receipts evidencing such excess number of whole Depositary Shares. In no event will fractional shares of stock be distributed by the Depositary. Delivery of the Stock and such money and other property being withdrawn may be made by the delivery of such certificates, documents of title and other instruments as the Depositary may deem appropriate, which, if required by the Depositary, shall be properly endorsed or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer.

 

7

 

        If the Stock 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 Stock, such holder shall execute and deliver to the Depositary a written order so directing the Depositary and the Depositary may require that the Receipt or Receipts surrendered by such holder for withdrawal of such shares of Stock be properly endorsed in blank or accompanied by a properly executed instrument of transfer or endorsement in blank.

        The Depositary shall deliver the Stock and the money and other property, if any, represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by Receipts surrendered for withdrawal at the Corporate 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 2.08.         Limitations on Execution and Delivery, Transfer, Split-up, Combination, Surrender and Exchange of Receipts. As a condition precedent to the execution and delivery, transfer, split-up, combination, surrender or exchange of any Receipt or the exercise of any conversion right referred to in Section 2.11, 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 Depositary or the Company shall have made such payment, the reimbursement to it) of any tax or other governmental charge with respect thereto (including any such tax or charge with respect to the Stock being deposited or withdrawn (provided that the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of Common Stock upon conversion; and provided further that the holder of such Receipt shall pay the amount of any tax which is due if the shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of such holder)); (ii) the production of proof satisfactory to it as to the identity and genuineness of any signature; and (iii) compliance with such regulations, if any, as the Depositary or the Company may establish consistent with the provisions of this Deposit Agreement.
