4.	PROCEDURE FOR DISCREPANCIES

Agent shall follow its regular procedures to attempt to reconcile any discrepancies between the number of Shares that any Letter of Transmittal may indicate are owned by a tendering stockholder and the number that the Record Stockholders List indicates such stockholder owned. In any instance where Agent cannot reconcile such discrepancies by following such procedures, Agent will consult with the Purchaser for instructions as to the number of Shares, if any; Agent is authorized to accept as validly tendered. In the absence of such instructions, Agent is authorized not to accept any such Shares and will return to the tendering stockholder (at Agent’s option by either first class mail under a blanket surety bond or insurance protecting Agent, the Purchaser from losses or liabilities arising out of the non-receipt or non-delivery of such Shares or by registered mail insured separately for the value of such Shares) to such stockholder’s address as set forth in the Letter of Transmittal any such Shares, the related Letters of Transmittal and any other documents received with such Shares.

5.	PROCEDURE FOR DEFICIENT ITEMS

5.1 Agent shall examine any certificate representing the Shares, Letter of Transmittal, Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, Agent’s Message and any other document required by the Letter of Transmittal that is received by Agent as depositary to determine whether any tender may be defective. In the event Agent concludes that any Letter of Transmittal, Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, Agent’s Message or other document has been improperly completed, executed or transmitted, any certificate representing the Shares is not in proper form for transfer or some other irregularity in connection with the tender of the Shares exists, Agent is authorized, subject to Article III, Section 8.2 below, to advise the tendering stockholder or transmitting Book-Entry Transfer Facility, as the case may be, of the existence of the irregularity. Agent is not authorized to accept any tender that is not made in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer, or any other tender which Agent deems to be defective, unless Agent shall have received from the Purchaser the applicable Letter of Transmittal (or if the tender was made by means of a Confirmation containing an Agent’s Message, a written notice), duly dated and signed by an authorized officer of the Purchaser, indicating that any defect or irregularity in such tender has been cured or waived and that such tender has been accepted by the Purchaser.

5.2 Promptly upon concluding that any tender is defective, Agent shall use reasonable efforts in accordance with Agent’s regular procedures to notify the person tendering such Shares, or Book-Entry Transfer Facility transmitting the Agent’s Message, as the case may be, of such determination and, when necessary, return the subject Shares to such person in the manner described in Article I, Section 8 hereof. The Purchaser shall have full discretion to determine whether any tender is complete and proper and shall have the absolute right to reject any or all tenders of any Shares determined by it not to be in proper form and to determine whether the acceptance of or payment for such tenders may, in the opinion of counsel for the Purchaser, be unlawful; it being specifically agreed that Agent shall have neither discretion nor responsibility with respect to these determinations. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Purchaser also reserves the absolute right to waive any of the conditions of the Offer or any defect or irregularity in the tender of any Shares. The interpretation by the Purchaser of the terms and conditions of the Offer to Purchase, the Letter of Transmittal and the instructions thereto, a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery or an Agent’s Message (including without limitation the determination of whether any tender is complete and proper) shall be final and binding.

7.	NOTICE OF WITHDRAWAL

To be effective, Agent must receive a written notice of withdrawal at its address as set forth on the back page of the Offer to Purchase, within the time period specified for withdrawal in the Offer to Purchase or other method mutually agreed to by the Purchaser and Agent. Any notice of withdrawal must specify the name of the registered holder of the Shares to be withdrawn, the number of the Shares to be withdrawn and, if such Shares are represented by a physical certificate, the number of such certificate.

In the event Agent concludes that any such notice is defective it shall, after consultation with and on the instructions of the Purchaser, use reasonable efforts in accordance with its regular procedures to notify the person delivering such notice of such determination. All questions as to the form and validity (including time of receipt) of notices of withdrawal will be determined by the Purchaser in its sole discretion, whose determination shall be final and binding. Any Shares withdrawn in accordance with the procedures set forth in this section shall no longer be considered to be properly tendered unless such Shares are re-tendered prior to the Expiration Date in accordance with Article I, Section 2 hereof.

ARTICLE III – GENERAL PROVISIONS

1.	PROCEDURE FOR DISCREPANCIES

Agent shall follow its regular procedures to attempt to reconcile any discrepancies between the number of certificated Shares that any Letter of Transmittal may indicate are owned by a surrendering stockholder and the number that the Record Stockholders List indicates such stockholder owned of record as of the Effective Time. In any instance where Agent cannot reconcile such discrepancies by following such procedures, Agent will consult with the Purchaser for instructions as to the number of certificated Shares, if any; Agent is authorized to accept for exchange. In the absence of such instructions, Agent is authorized not to accept any such certificated Shares for exchange and will return to the surrendering stockholder in accordance with its standard procedures to such stockholder’s address as set forth in the Letter of Transmittal any certificates for the Shares surrendered in connection therewith, the related Letters of Transmittal and any other documents received with such Shares.

2.	PROCEDURE FOR DEFICIENT ITEMS

2.1 Agent shall examine the Letter of Transmittal and certificates for the Shares received by it as agent to ascertain whether they appear to have been completed and executed in accordance with the instructions set forth in the Letter of Transmittal. In the event Agent determines that any Letter of Transmittal does not appear to have been properly completed or executed, or where the certificates representing the Shares do not appear to be in proper form for surrender, or any other deficiency in connection with the surrender appears to exist, the Purchaser authorizes and instructs Agent to follow, where possible, its regular procedures, set forth in Article III, Section 2.3 below, to attempt to cause such irregularity to be corrected. Agent is not authorized to waive any deficiency in connection with the surrender, unless the Purchaser provides written authorization to waive such deficiency, subject to applicable law and regulations.

2.3 If any such deficiency with respect to any certificated Shares is neither corrected nor waived, Agent shall: (a) convert the Shares represented by such certificate to a Book Entry position and (b) send to such holder a defect letter describing the applicable defects and asking that the deficiencies be corrected.

Once received by Computershare, the Funds shall be held by Computershare as agent for the Purchaser.

Computershare shall not be obligated to pay such interest, dividends or earnings to the Purchaser, any holder or any other party.

4.3 Computershare is acting as Agent hereunder and is not a debtor of the Purchaser in respect of the Funds.

4.4 In the case of late-day funding, which means delivery of the Funds to Computershare after 2:00 p.m. ET on any day, regardless of whether such funding occurs prior to, or after, the Effective Time as set forth in Article III, Section 4.1 above (“Late-Day Funding”), Federal Deposit Insurance or other bank liquidity charges may apply in connection with the overnight deposit of the Funds with commercial banks. The parties hereto agree that any such charges assessed as a result of Late-Day Funding will be charged to the Purchaser and the Purchaser hereby agrees to pay such charges.

4.5 The Purchaser agrees to deliver the Funds by wire to the account(s) listed on the attached Exhibit D, which may be amended in writing from time to time.

5.	INTERNATIONAL CURRENCY EXCHANGE

Computershare at its option may offer its International Currency Exchange (“ICE”) Service (the “Service”) to certain shareholders whereby any such shareholder can elect to receive their payment in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, via a convenient and secure currency conversion service.

7.

INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Agent and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall only be liable, severally and not jointly, for any loss or damage determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be a result of Agent’s or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ respective gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided that any respective liability of Agent and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ will be limited in the aggregate to the amounts paid hereunder by Purchaser to Agent or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, respectively, as fees and charges, but not including reimbursable expenses.

13.

DAMAGES

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no party shall be liable to any other for any incidental, indirect, special or consequential damages of any nature whatsoever, including, but not limited to, loss of anticipated profits, occasioned by a breach of any provision of this Agreement even if apprised of the possibility of such damages.

14.

CONFIDENTIALITY

14.1 Definition. “Confidential Information” shall mean any and all technical or business information relating to a party, including, without limitation, financial, portfolio holdings, marketing and product development information, shareholder data (including any non-public information of such shareholder), proprietary information, and the terms and conditions (but not the existence) of this Agreement, that is disclosed or otherwise becomes known to the other party or its affiliates, agents or representatives before or during the term of this Agreement. Confidential Information constitutes trade secrets and is of great value to the owner (or its affiliates). Confidential Information shall not include any information that is: (a) already known to the other party or its affiliates at the time of the disclosure; (b) publicly known at the time of the disclosure or becomes publicly known through no wrongful act or failure of the other party; (c) subsequently disclosed to the other party or its affiliates on a non-confidential basis by a third party not having a confidential relationship with the owner and which rightfully acquired such information; or (d) independently developed by one party without access to the Confidential Information of the other.

14.2 Use and Disclosure. All Confidential Information of a party will be held in confidence by the other party with at least the same degree of care as such party protects its own confidential or proprietary information of like kind and import, but not less than a reasonable degree of care. Neither party will disclose in any manner Confidential Information of the other party in any form to any person or entity without the other party’s prior consent. However, each party may disclose relevant aspects of the other party’s Confidential Information to its officers, affiliates, agents, subcontractors and employees to the extent reasonably necessary to perform its duties and obligations under this Agreement and such disclosure is not prohibited by applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, each party will implement such physical and other security measures and controls which are designed to protect (a) the security and confidentiality of Confidential Information; (b) against any threats or hazards to the security and integrity of Confidential Information; and (c) against any unauthorized access to or use of Confidential Information. To the extent that a party delegates any duties and responsibilities under this Agreement to an agent or other subcontractor, the party ensures that such agent and subcontractor are contractually bound to confidentiality terms consistent with the terms of this Article III, Section 14.


Depositary and IA Agreement 2018		Page 13

14.3 Required or Permitted Disclosure. In the event that any requests or demands are made for the disclosure of Confidential Information, other than requests to Agent or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, as applicable, for shareholder records pursuant to standard subpoenas from state or federal government authorities (e.g., divorce and criminal actions), the party receiving such request will promptly notify the other party to secure instructions from an authorized officer of such party as to such request and to enable the other party the opportunity to obtain a protective order or other confidential treatment, unless such notification is otherwise prohibited by law or court order. Each party expressly reserves the right, however, to disclose Confidential Information to any person whenever it is advised by counsel that it may be held liable for the failure to disclose such Confidential Information or if required by law or court order.

14.4 Unauthorized Disclosure. As may be required by law and without limiting any party’s rights in respect of a breach of this Article III, Section 14, each party will promptly:

(a)

Notify the other party in writing of any unauthorized possession, use or disclosure of the other party’s Confidential Information by any person or entity that may become known to such party;

(b)

Furnish to the other party full details of the unauthorized possession, use or disclosure; and

(c)

Use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent a recurrence of any such unauthorized possession, use or disclosure of Confidential Information.

14.5 Costs. Each party will bear the costs it incurs as a result of compliance with this Article III, Section 14.

14.6 Damages. The parties agree that money damages may not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Section (i) by Agent (or its representatives). Upon any actual or threatened violation of this Article III, section 14 (i) by Agent (or its representatives), the Company shall be entitled to seek preliminary and other injunctive relief against such violation, in addition to any other rights or remedies which the Company may have at law or in equity.

15.

TERMINATION

15.1 Depositary. The Agent or the Purchaser may, with respect to the depositary services, terminate this Agreement upon 30 days prior written notice to the other party. Unless so terminated, this Agreement shall continue in effect until all Shares have been received and paid for, or until the final delivery of all consideration(s) to the appropriate states as unclaimed property. In the event of such termination, the Purchaser will appoint a successor agent and inform Agent of the name and address of any successor agent so appointed, provided that no failure by the Purchaser to appoint such a successor agent shall affect the termination of this Agreement or the discharge of Agent as agent hereunder. Upon any such termination, Agent shall be relieved and discharged of any further responsibilities with respect to its duties hereunder. Upon payment of all outstanding fees and expenses hereunder, Agent shall promptly forward to the Purchaser or its designee any unpaid Tender Consideration deposited with Agent pursuant to Article III, Section 4 hereof.

15.3 Notices of termination delivered pursuant to Article III, Section 15.1, above, will not be deemed to terminate IA Services. Likewise, termination pursuant to Article III, Section 15.2, above, will not be deemed to terminate depositary services as described in Article I hereof.

COMPENSATION AND EXPENSES

16.1 The Purchaser shall pay to Agent and to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, respectively, compensation in accordance with the attached Exhibit B, together with reimbursement for reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, regardless of whether any Shares are surrendered to Agent, for Agent’s services as agent hereunder, and for ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ services as information agent hereunder.

While both Agent and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ endeavor to maintain such charges (both internal and external) at competitive rates, these charges may not reflect actual out-of-pocket costs, and may include handling charges to cover internal processing and use of Agent’s and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ billing systems.

16.3 If any out-of-proof condition caused by the Purchaser or any of its prior agents arises during any terms of this agreement, the Purchaser will, promptly upon Agent’s request, provide Agent with funds or Shares sufficient to resolve the out-of-proof condition.

Delinquent payments are subject to a late payment charge of one and one half percent (1.5%) per month commencing forty-five (45) days from the invoice date. The Purchaser agrees to reimburse Agent and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ for any attorney’s fees and any other costs associated with collecting delinquent payments.

In addition, the Purchaser agrees to pay any expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with the services hereunder, up to and including the date on which Agent receives written notice of termination pursuant to Article III, Section 15 hereof.

16.6 Following initiation and notice of termination of this Agreement for any reason, the Purchaser hereby agrees to pay on or before the effective date of such termination (a) all fees earned and expenses set forth on the attached Exhibit B incurred by Agent through and including the date of such termination, including, in any event, the Project Management Fee, and (b) all costs and expenses associated with the movement of records, materials, and services to Purchaser or the successor agent, including all reasonable expense.

16.7 Purchaser is responsible for all taxes, levies, duties, and assessments levied on services purchased under this Agreement (collectively, “Transaction Taxes”). Computershare is responsible for collecting and remitting Transaction Taxes in all jurisdictions in which Computershare is registered to collect such Transaction Taxes. Computershare shall invoice Purchaser for such Transaction Taxes that Computershare is obligated to collect upon the furnishing of services provided hereunder. Purchaser shall pay such Transaction Taxes according to the terms in Article III, Section 16.1, above. Computershare shall timely remit to the appropriate governmental authorities all such Transaction Taxes that Computershare collects from Purchaser. To the extent that Purchaser provides Computershare with valid exemption certificates, direct pay permits, or other documentation that exempts Computershare from collecting Transaction Taxes from Purchaser, invoices issued for services hereunder provided after Computershare’s receipt of such certificates, permits, or other documentation will not reflect exempted Transaction Taxes. Computershare is solely responsible for the payment of all personal property taxes, franchise taxes, corporate excise or privilege taxes, property or license taxes, taxes relating to Computershare’s personnel, and taxes based on Computershare’s net income or gross revenues relating to services provided hereunder.

Agent may, without further consent of Purchaser, subcontract with (a) any affiliates, or (b) unaffiliated subcontractors for such services as may be required from time to time (e.g. lost shareholder searches, escheatment, telephone and mailing services); provided, however, that Agent shall be as fully responsible to Purchaser for the acts and omissions of any subcontractor as it is for its own acts and omissions.

EXHIBIT A

Section 1

Standard Tax Reporting Instructions

Pursuant to the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, financial intermediaries such as Computershare must report cost basis for certain types of securities acquired after January 1, 2011 to both security holders and the IRS. In preparation for the year-end tax reporting to be performed by Computershare under our service agreement for the corporate actions event described in Section 2 of this agreement, please (a) complete the below Year End Tax Reporting Package and (b) provide us with the pertinent issuer statement (i.e., hard copy or website link requested in Section 4 below) as required of issuers under Internal Revenue Code Section 6045B and the underlying Treasury regulations.

In the event that you have not yet produced the issuer statement, kindly provide us with the requisite information at your earliest convenience when completed. You may find it helpful to refer to the below link on the IRS website for some background information regarding the issuer’s obligation to produce the issuer statement.

▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

Please review, complete, execute and return the Year End Tax Reporting Package or the Form 8937, attached documents via e-mail. By requesting cost basis information, Computershare has fulfilled its regulatory obligation. Failure to provide correct basis information may result in a liability to you as an issuer, but if we can provide additional details, please feel free to call upon us.

Additional information may be required based on the completion of the information provided below.

PLEASE NOTE: If IRC sections 302/304 apply to this Corporate Actions event, please reach out to the Corporate Actions Relationship Manager listed on Wire Instruction Exhibit of this Agreement to provide further details.

Year End Tax Reporting Package

Computershare cannot provide tax advice for purposes of completing this worksheet. Please consult your tax counsel to determine your respective tax reporting requirements.

Shareholder accounts without certified TIN, or certification of foreign status on our system of record will be subject to backup withholding tax at the applicable rate in accordance with IRS rules and regulations regarding 1099 tax reporting. The applicable backup withholding tax deducted from their payment will be remitted to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Holders will need to claim any refund of over withholding directly from the IRS and not Computershare. Please note residents or holders that are uncertified, and reside in the state of CA will be withheld an additional 7% which will be remitted to the state of CA.

Important: Computershare uses Constructive Receipt (refer to below definition) reporting for its standard tax reporting default. Deviations from our Standard Default Tax Terms, late submissions and subsequent corrections after the event is over will be subject to additional fees, by appraisal. If Computershare does not receive the completed tax letter by the expiration of the offer /effective date of the distribution or exchange, Computershare will use our Standard Default Tax Terms.

Computershare will perform form suppression on de minimis reporting for the following: on 1099-B tax forms less than $20 in proceeds and fractional share issuance if no withholding; 1099-DIV tax forms less than $10 in dividend income if no withholding.

Computershare will not be liable for any IRS penalties resulting from any client changes to this tax letter or client delay in any final tax instructions that will alter our initial tax reporting instructions. Should any withholding be remitted late to the IRS as a result of any changes to your initial tax reporting instructions. Company and/or Purchaser will be responsible for obligations related to penalties and interest as noted under the Section of the Agreement titled “Indemnification and Limitation of Liability.”

Definitions:

Constructive Receipt: Constructive Receipt means that any corporate action exchange proceeds would be reported to the IRS in the year the merger is effective, whether or not the shareholder has presented the requisite and valid documentation in such year.
