SECTION 2.01. Form and Transfer of Receipts. Receipts shall be (i) substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A annexed to this Deposit Agreement, with appropriate insertions, modifications and omissions, as hereinafter provided or (ii) issued in uncertificated form at the option of the Company. Pending the preparation of definitive Receipts, the Depositary, upon the written order of the Company or any holder of Stock, as the case may be, delivered in compliance with 2.02, shall execute and deliver temporary Receipts which are substantially of the tenor of the definitive Receipts in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the persons executing such Receipts may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Receipts. If temporary Receipts are issued, the Company and the Depositary will cause definitive Receipts to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Receipts, the temporary Receipts shall be exchangeable for definitive Receipts upon surrender of the temporary Receipts at any office described in the third paragraph of Section 2.02, without charge to the holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Receipts, the Depositary shall execute and deliver in exchange therefor definitive Receipts representing the same number of Depositary Shares as represented by the surrendered

temporary Receipt or Receipts. Such exchange shall be made at the Company’s expense and without any charge therefor. Until so exchanged, the temporary Receipts shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement, and with respect to the Stock, as definitive Receipts.

Receipts will be issued as Global Receipts, unless the Company directs the Global Receiptholder to issue them as Certificated Receipts or Uncertificated Receipts. Each Global Receipt will be registered in the name of the Global Receiptholder or its nominee and, so long as DTC is serving as the Global Receiptholder thereof, will bear the DTC Legend. Each Global Receipt will be delivered to the Depositary as custodian for the Global Receiptholder. Each Certificated Receipt will be registered in the name of the holder thereof or its nominee.

Receipts shall be executed by the Depositary by the manual or facsimile signature of a duly authorized officer of the Depositary. The Depositary shall record on its books each Receipt so signed and delivered as hereinafter provided.

Receipts shall be in denominations of any number of whole 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 which is properly endorsed or for which proper instructions for transfer have been received, and properly executed instrument of transfer have been provided, shall be transferable by delivery with the same effect as in the case of a negotiable instrument; provided, however, that until transfer of a Receipt shall be registered on the books of the Depositary as provided in Section 2.04, the Depositary may, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, treat the record holder thereof at such time as the absolute owner thereof for the purpose of determining the person entitled to distributions of dividends or other distributions or 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 or any holder of Stock may from time to time deposit shares of Stock by delivery or transfer to the Depositary of a certificate or certificates representing the Stock to be deposited, or any interest in uncertificated Stock, properly endorsed or accompanied, as applicable, and 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 or such holder, as the case may be, directing the Depositary to execute and deliver to, or cause such interests in Uncertificated Receipts to be credited 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 representing the Stock, or any interest in uncertificated Stock, to be deposited in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.02, together with the other documents required as above specified, and upon recordation of such Stock on the books of the registrar for the Stock 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, or shall cause to be credited, 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, or interest in Uncertificated 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.

In the case of Certificated Receipts, 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.

SECTION 2.03. Redemption of Stock. Whenever the Company shall elect to redeem shares of Stock in accordance with the provisions of the Certificate, it shall (unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Depositary) give the Depositary not less than 40 nor more than 70 days’ notice of the date of such proposed redemption of Stock, which notice shall be accompanied by a certificate from the Company stating that such redemption of Stock is in accordance with the provisions of the Certificate. Such notice, if given more than 60 days prior to the redemption date, shall be in addition to the notice required to be given for redemption pursuant to the Certificate. On the date of such redemption, provided that the Company shall then have paid in full to the Depositary the redemption price of the Stock held by the Depositary to be redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, the Depositary shall redeem the number of Depositary Shares representing such Stock. The Depositary shall mail notice of such redemption and the proposed simultaneous redemption of the number of Depositary Shares representing the Stock to be redeemed, first-class postage prepaid, not less than 30 and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption of such Stock and Depositary Shares (the “Redemption Date”), to the record holders of the Receipts evidencing the Depositary Shares to be so redeemed, at the addresses of such holders as they 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 to one or more such holders shall affect the sufficiency of the proceedings for redemption as to other holders. Each such notice shall state: (i) the Redemption Date; (ii) the number of Depositary Shares to be redeemed and, if less than all the Depositary Shares held by any such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such Depositary Shares held by such holder to be so redeemed; (iii) the redemption price; (iv) the place or places where, or other applicable method by which, Receipts evidencing Depositary Shares are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price; and (v) that dividends in respect of the Stock represented by the Depositary Shares to be redeemed will cease to accumulate on such Redemption Date. In case less than all the outstanding Depositary Shares are to be redeemed, the Depositary Shares to be so redeemed shall be selected by lot or pro rata (subject to rounding to avoid fractions of the Depositary Shares) as may be determined by the Depositary to be equitable and in compliance with any applicable rules and law.

Notice having been mailed 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 dividends in respect of the shares of Stock so called for redemption shall cease to accumulate, the Depositary Shares being redeemed from such proceeds 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 redemption price, including any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon) shall, to the extent of such Depositary Shares, cease and terminate and, upon surrender of the Receipts evidencing any such Depositary Shares (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Depositary shall so require) in accordance with such notice, such Depositary Shares shall be redeemed by the Depositary at a redemption price per Depositary Share equal to of the redemption price per share paid in respect of the shares of Stock, plus accrued and unpaid dividends on such a share to the date fixed for redemption.

If less than all 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 the redemption payment, a new Receipt evidencing the Depositary Shares evidenced by such prior Receipt and not called for redemption.

SECTION 2.04. Registration of Transfer of Receipts. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, 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 and the Registrar shall execute a new Receipt or Receipts, or otherwise cause the applicable interest in a Receipt or Receipts, evidencing the same aggregate number of Depositary Shares as those evidenced by the Receipt or Receipts surrendered and deliver or credit such new Receipt or Receipts to or upon the order of the person entitled thereto.

Transfers of a Global Receipt (but not a beneficial interest therein) will be limited to transfers thereof in whole, but not in part, to the Global Receiptholder, its successors or their respective nominees, except (i) as set forth in the next succeeding paragraph and (ii) transfers of portions thereof in the form of Certificated Receipts or Uncertificated Receipts may be made upon request of an Agent Member (for itself or on behalf of a beneficial owner) by written notice given to the Depositary and the Registrar by or on behalf of the Global Receiptholder in accordance with customary procedures of the Global Receiptholder and in compliance with this Section 2.04.

If (i) the Company or the Global Receiptholder notifies the Depositary and Registrar in writing that the Global Receiptholder is unwilling or unable to continue as Global Receiptholder for a Global Receipt and a successor Global Receiptholder is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of the notice or (ii) the Company, at its option, notifies the Depositary and Registrar in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of Certificated Receipts or Uncertificated Receipts, subject to any applicable procedures of DTC, the Depositary and Registrar will promptly exchange each beneficial interest in the Global Receipt for one or more Receipts in authorized denominations having an equal aggregate number of Depositary Shares registered in the name of the owner of such beneficial interest, as identified to the Depositary and Registrar by the Global Receiptholder, and thereupon the Global Receipt will be deemed canceled.

Agent Members will have no rights under this Agreement with respect to any Global Receipt held on their behalf by the Global Receiptholder, and the Global Receiptholder may be

treated by the Company, the Depositary and Registrar and any agent of the Company or the Depositary and Registrar as the absolute owner and holder of such Global Receipt for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Global Receiptholder or its nominee may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person (including any Agent Member and any Person that holds a beneficial interest in a Global Receipt through an Agent Member) to take any action which a holder is entitled to take under this Agreement or the Receipts, and nothing herein will impair, as between the Global Receiptholder and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of any security.

SECTION 2.05. 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, or interest in Uncertificated 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, or any interest in an uncertificated Stock, may withdraw the Stock by surrendering such Receipt or Receipts or transferring interest in Uncertificated Receipts, at the Depositary’s Office or at such other offices as the Depositary may designate for such withdrawals. Thereafter, without unreasonable delay, the Depositary shall deliver to, or cause such interests in Uncertificated Receipts to be credited to, such holder, or to the person or persons designated by such holder as hereinafter provided, the number of whole shares of Stock represented by the Receipt or Receipts so surrendered for withdrawal, but holders of such whole shares of Stock will not thereafter be entitled to deposit or transfer such Stock hereunder or to receive Depositary Shares therefor; provided, however, that a record holder who withdraws Stock in order to demand dissenters rights available under Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law (“PBCL”), will, subject to certain conditions described below, be entitled to redeposit such Stock with the Depositary and to receive or be credited with Receipts evidencing Shares therefor in the event (i) such record holder subsequently withdraws such demand pursuant to Section 1930 of the PBCL, (ii) dissenter rights are not available for such Stock pursuant to Section 1930 of the PBCL or (iii) such record holder loses or otherwise fails to perfect his rights to dissent. In order to redeposit Stock with the Depositary, such a record holder must deliver the certificates for such Stock or transfer any interest in an uncertificated Stock, 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 instructions that such Stock be so deposited, to the Depositary’s office or to such other offices as the Depositary may designate by not later than the 30th day after the earlier of (i) the withdrawal of such demand for dissent by such record holder, (ii) notice by the Company that dissenter rights are not available for such Stock or (iii) the date on which such record holder loses or otherwise fails to perfect his rights to dissent. The Company will notify any record holder of Receipts who so withdraws Stock in the event dissenter rights in respect of Stock are not available. Any shares so redeposited must be free and clear of any lien, security interest or pledge and a holder may be required to provide certification of the foregoing and such other certifications as may be required by the Depositary in accordance with this Agreement. In addition, if required by the Depositary, Stock presented for redeposit shall also be accompanied by (A) an agreement or assignment, or other instrument satisfactory to the Depositary, which will provide for the prompt

transfer to the Depositary of any dividend or right to subscribe for additional Stock or to receive other property which such record holder may thereafter receive upon or in respect of such redeposited Stock, or in lieu thereof, such agreement of indemnity or other agreement as shall be satisfactory to the Depositary, and (B) a proxy or proxies entitling the Depositary to vote such redeposited Stock for any and all purposes until the Stock is transferred and recorded on the register of stockholders of the Company in the name of the Depositary or its nominee. If a Receipt delivered or transferred 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 to be so withdrawn, deliver, or cause such interests in Uncertificated Receipts to be credited, to such holder a new Receipt or interest in Uncertificated Receipt evidencing such excess number of Depositary Shares. Delivery of the Stock 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 being withdrawn is to be delivered or credited 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 in blank.

In the case of Certificated Receipts, delivery of the Stock represented by Receipts surrendered for withdrawal shall be made by the Depositary at the Depositary’s office or at such other offices as the Depositary may designate, 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 2.06. Limitations on Execution and Delivery, Transfer, Surrender and Exchange of Receipts. As a condition precedent to the execution and delivery, registration of transfer, split-up, combination, surrender or exchange of any Receipt, the Depositary, any of the Depositary’s Agents or the Company may require (a) 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, (b) the production of evidence satisfactory to it as to the identity and genuineness of any signature and (c) compliance with such regulations, if any, as the Depositary or the Company may establish consistent with the provisions of this Deposit Agreement.

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 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 2.07. Lost Receipts, etc. In the case of Certificated Receipts, if 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, or in lieu of and in substitution for such destroyed, lost or stolen Receipt, upon (i) the filing by the holder thereof with the Depositary of evidence satisfactory to the Depositary of such destruction or loss or theft of such Receipt, of the authenticity thereof and of his or her ownership thereof and (ii) the furnishing of the Depositary with reasonable indemnification satisfactory to it.

SECTION 2.08. Cancellation and Destruction of Surrendered Receipts. All Receipts surrendered to the Depositary or any Depositary’s Agent shall be canceled by the Depositary. Except as prohibited by applicable law or regulation, the Depositary is authorized to destroy all Receipts so canceled.

ARTICLE III

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 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 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.

ARTICLE IV

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 record holders of Receipts on the applicable record date fixed pursuant to Section 4.04 such amounts of such dividend or distribution as are, as nearly as practicable, in

proportion to the respective 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 record holders of Receipts then outstanding.

SECTION 4.02. Distributions Other than Cash, Rights, Preferences or Privileges. Whenever the Depositary shall receive any distribution other than cash and other than any rights, preferences or privileges described in Section 4.03, upon Stock, the Depositary shall, subject to Sections 3.01 and 3.02, distribute to record holders of Receipts on the applicable 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 record 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 record holders, or if for any other reason (including any requirement that the Company or the Depositary withhold an amount on account of taxes) the Depositary deems, after consultation with the Company, such distribution not to be feasible, the Depositary may, with the approval of the Company, adopt such method as it deems equitable and practicable for the purpose of effecting such distribution, including the 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 be, subject to Sections 3.01 and 3.02, distributed or made available for distribution, as the case may be, by the Depositary to record holders of Receipts as provided by Section 4.01 in the case of a distribution received in cash.

The Depositary shall not make any distribution of securities received in respect of the Stock unless, if requested by the Depositary, the Company shall have provided an opinion of counsel stating that such securities have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 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 to the record holders of Receipts in such manner as the Depositary may determine, either by the issue to such record holders of warrants representing such rights, preferences or privileges or by such other method as may be approved by the Depositary in its discretion with the approval of the Company; provided, however, that in case either (i) 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) with respect to any portion of the rights, preferences or privileges of a holder of Receipts, the Depositary is instructed that such holder does

not desire to exercise such rights, preferences or privileges, then the Depositary, in its discretion (with the 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), may (if applicable laws and 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 be, subject to Sections 3.01 and 3.02, distributed by the Depositary to the record holders of Receipts entitled thereto as provided by Section 4.01 in the case of a distribution received in cash. The Depositary shall not make any distribution of any such rights, preferences or privileges unless, if requested by the Depositary, the Company shall have provided an opinion of counsel stating that such rights, preferences or privileges have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or do not need to be so registered.

If registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 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 file promptly a registration statement pursuant to such act with respect to such rights, preferences or privileges and securities and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective sufficiently in advance of the expiration of such rights, preferences or privileges to enable such holders to exercise such rights, preferences or privileges. In no event shall the Depositary make available to the holders of Receipts any right, preference or privilege to subscribe for or to purchase any securities unless and until such a registration statement shall have become effective, or unless the offering and sale of such securities to such holders are exempt from registration under the provisions of such Act.

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 the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to take such action or obtain such authorization, consent or permit sufficiently in advance of the expiration of such rights, preferences or privileges to enable such holders to exercise such rights, preferences or privileges.

SECTION 4.04. Notice of Dividends, etc.; Fixing of Record Date for Holders of Receipts.

Upon the written request of a holder of a Receipt on such record date, the Depositary shall endeavor insofar as practicable to vote or cause to be voted the amount of Stock represented by such Receipt in accordance with the instructions set forth in such request. In the absence of specific instructions from the holder of a Receipt, the Depositary will abstain from voting (but, at its discretion, not from appearing at any meeting with respect to such Stock unless directed to the contrary by the holders of Receipts) to the extent of the Stock represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt.

14. CHANGES AFFECTING DEPOSITED SECURITIES.
