Deposit of Shares Subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, Shares or evidence of rights to receive Shares may be deposited under this Deposit Agreement by delivery thereof to any Custodian, accompanied by any appropriate instruments or instructions for transfer, or endorsement, in form satisfactory to the Custodian. As conditions of accepting Shares for deposit, the Depositary may require (i) any certification required by the Depositary or the Custodian in accordance with the provisions of this Deposit Agreement, (ii) a written order directing the Depositary to deliver to, or upon the written order of, the person or persons stated in that order American Depositary Shares representing those deposited Shares, (iii) evidence satisfactory to the Depositary that those Shares have been re-registered in the books of the Company or the Foreign Registrar in the name of the Depositary, a Custodian or a nominee of the Depositary or a Custodian, (iv) evidence satisfactory to the Depositary that any necessary approval has been granted by any governmental body in each applicable jurisdiction and (v) an agreement or assignment, or other instrument satisfactory to the Depositary, that provides for the prompt transfer to the Custodian of any dividend, or right to subscribe for additional Shares or to receive other property, that any person in whose name those Shares are or have been recorded may thereafter receive upon or in respect of those Shares, or, in lieu thereof, such agreement of indemnity or other agreement as shall be satisfactory to the Depositary. At the request and risk and expense of a person proposing to deposit Shares, and for the account of that person, the Depositary may receive certificates for Shares to be deposited, together with the other instruments specified in this Section, for the purpose of forwarding those Share certificates to the Custodian for deposit under this Deposit Agreement. The Depositary shall instruct each Custodian that, upon each delivery to a Custodian of a certificate or certificates for Shares to be deposited under this Deposit Agreement, together with the other documents specified in this Section, that Custodian shall, as soon as transfer and recordation can be accomplished, present that certificate or those certificates to the Company or the Foreign Registrar, if applicable, for transfer and recordation of the Shares being deposited in the name of the Depositary or its nominee or that Custodian or its nominee. Deposited Securities shall be held by the Depositary or by a Custodian for the account and to the order of the Depositary or at such other place or places as the Depositary shall determine.

Warranties on Deposit of Shares Every person depositing Shares under this Deposit Agreement shall be deemed thereby to represent and warrant that such Shares and each certificate therefor, if applicable, are validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and free of any preemptive rights of the holders of outstanding Shares and that the person making such deposit is duly authorized so to do. Every such person shall also be deemed to represent that the deposit of such Shares and the sale of American Depositary Shares representing such Shares by that person are not restricted under the Securities Act of 1933. Such representations and warranties shall survive the deposit of Shares and delivery of American Depositary Shares.
Application by Trustee of Funds Deposited for Payment of Securities Subject to Section 9.04 and any subordination provisions applicable to the Securities, all moneys deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 9.01 shall be held in trust and applied by it to the payment, either directly or through any paying agent (including the Issuer acting as its own paying agent), to the Holders of the particular Securities of such series for the payment or redemption of which such moneys have been deposited with the Trustee, of all sums due and to become due thereon for principal and interest; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
Form of Receipts; Registration and Transferability of American Depositary Shares Definitive Receipts shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A to this Deposit Agreement, with appropriate insertions, modifications and omissions, as permitted under this Deposit Agreement. No Receipt shall be entitled to any benefits under this Deposit Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless that Receipt has been (i) executed by the Depositary by the manual signature of a duly authorized officer of the Depositary or (ii) executed by the facsimile signature of a duly authorized officer of the Depositary and countersigned by the manual signature of a duly authorized signatory of the Depositary or the Registrar or a co-registrar. The Depositary shall maintain books on which (x) each Receipt so executed and delivered as provided in this Deposit Agreement and each transfer of that Receipt and (y) all American Depositary Shares delivered as provided in this Deposit Agreement and all registrations of transfer of American Depositary Shares, shall be registered. A Receipt bearing the facsimile signature of a person that was at any time a proper officer of the Depositary shall, subject to the other provisions of this paragraph, bind the Depositary, even if that person was not a proper officer of the Depositary on the date of issuance of that Receipt. The Receipts and statements confirming registration of American Depositary Shares may have incorporated in or attached to them such legends or recitals or modifications 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 regulations thereunder or with the rules and regulations of any securities exchange upon which American Depositary Shares 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 and American Depositary Shares are subject by reason of the date of issuance of the underlying Deposited Securities or otherwise. American Depositary Shares evidenced by a Receipt, when the Receipt is properly endorsed or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer, shall be transferable as certificated registered securities under the laws of the State of New York. American Depositary Shares not evidenced by Receipts shall be transferable as uncertificated registered securities under the laws of the State of New York. The Depositary, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, may treat the Owner of American Depositary Shares 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, and neither the Depositary nor the Company shall have any obligation or be subject to any liability under this Deposit Agreement to any Holder of American Depositary Shares (but only to the Owner of those American Depositary Shares).
Surrender of Receipts and Withdrawal of Stock Any holder of a Receipt, including the Company, shall have the right, upon payment of any amount due to the Depositary with respect to the Receipt, to withdraw any or all of the Stock (but only in whole shares of Stock) represented by the Depositary Shares and all money and other property, if any, represented by such Depositary Shares by surrendering the Receipt or Receipts evidencing such Depositary Shares at the Corporate Office, or at such other office as the Depositary may designate for such withdrawals (and cancellation of the surrendered Receipts as provided in Section 2.9). After such surrender, without unreasonable delay, the Depositary shall deliver to the holder the whole 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. 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 whole number of shares of Stock to be withdrawn, the Depositary shall at the same time, in addition to such whole number of shares of Stock and such money and other property, if any, to be withdrawn, deliver to the holder, or (subject to Section 2.4) upon its order, a new Receipt or Receipts evidencing such excess number of whole Depositary Shares. 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. 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, without unreasonable delay, at the office at which such Receipts were surrendered, except that, at the request, risk and expense of the Company such delivery may be made, without unreasonable delay, at such other place as may be designated by the Company. For purposes of determining the number of Depositary Shares outstanding on any dividend payment date, the Receipts representing Depositary Shares acquired by the Company on or prior to such dividend payment date and not theretofore delivered to the Depositary for withdrawal and cancellation shall be deemed to be outstanding.
Deposit of Repayment Price On or prior to any Optional Repayment Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money sufficient to pay the optional repayment price, and accrued interest thereon to such date, of all the Book-Entry Notes or portions thereof which are to be repaid on such date. The Trustee will use such money to repay such Book-Entry Notes pursuant to the terms set forth in such Notes. Procedure for Rate Setting and Posting: The Company and the Agent will discuss from time to time the aggregate principal amount of, the issuance price of, and the interest rates to be borne by, Book-Entry Notes that may be sold as a result of the solicitation of orders by the Agent. If the Company decides to set prices of, and rates borne by, any Book-Entry Notes in respect of which the Agent is to solicit orders (the setting of such prices and rates to be referred to herein as “posting”) or if the Company decides to change prices or rates previously posted by it, it will promptly advise the Agent of the prices and rates to be posted. Acceptance and Rejection of Orders: Unless otherwise instructed by the Company, the Agents will advise the Company promptly by telephone or other means of electronic communication of all orders to purchase Book-Entry Notes received by the Agents, other than those rejected by it in whole or in part in the reasonable exercise of its discretion. Unless otherwise agreed by the Company and any Agent, the Company has the right to accept orders to purchase Book-Entry Notes and may reject any such orders in whole or in part. Preparation of Pricing Supplement: If any order to purchase a Book-Entry Note is accepted by or on behalf of the Company, the Company will prepare a final pricing supplement or prospectus supplement (a “Final Supplement”) reflecting the terms of such Book-Entry Note, will file such Final Supplement with the Commission in accordance with the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, will deliver such number of copies thereof to the Agent as the Agent shall request. If required, the Agent will file such Final Supplement with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) and cause a Final Prospectus, including such Final Supplement, to be delivered to the purchaser of such Book-Entry Note or otherwise will comply with the requirements of Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act. In each instance that a Final Supplement is prepared, the Agents will affix or attach the Final Supplement to the MTN Prospectus and other applicable Supplement(s) prior to their use. Outdated Final Supplements, MTN Prospectus and any other applicable Supplement(s) to which they are attached (other than those retained for files) will be destroyed. If requested, hard copies of the appropriate number of Final Prospectuses, including the Final Supplement, shall be delivered to the Agent at the addresses designated by such Agent on the Business Day following the acceptance of an offer by or on behalf of the Company.
