As of the date of the Deposit Agreement (as hereinafter defined), each ADS represents [ten (10) Shares][an undivided interest in an Entitlement Certificate, each interest representing the irrevocable right to receive [ten (10)] Shares][an undivided interest in a global Certificate(s) of Payment, each interest representing the irrevocable right to receive ten (10) Shares] deposited under the Deposit Agreement with the Custodian, which at the date of execution of the Deposit Agreement is Citibank, N.A., (Taipei) (the “Custodian”). The ratio of American Depositary Shares to Eligible Securities is subject to amendment as provided in Article IV of the Deposit Agreement. The Depositary's Principal Office is located at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇.▇.▇.

1. The Deposit Agreement. This American Depositary Receipt is one of an issue of American Depositary Receipts (“Receipts”), all issued and to be issued upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Deposit Agreement, dated as of May 29, 2002, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Deposit Agreement, dated as of February 15, 2006 (as so amended and further amended from time to time, the “Deposit Agreement”), by and among the Company, the Depositary and all Holders and Beneficial Owners from time to time of American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) evidenced by Receipts issued thereunder, each of whom by accepting an ADS (or an interest therein) agrees to become a party thereto and becomes bound by all the terms and provisions thereof. The Deposit Agreement sets forth the rights and obligations of Holders and Beneficial Owners of Receipts and the rights and duties of the Depositary in respect of the Eligible Securities deposited thereunder and any and all other securities, property and cash from time to time received in respect of such Eligible Securities and held thereunder (such Eligible Securities, securities, property and cash are herein called “Deposited Securities”). Copies of the Deposit Agreement are on file at the Principal Office of the Depositary and with the Custodian.

A-2

The statements made on the face and reverse of this Receipt are summaries of certain provisions of the Deposit Agreement and the Articles of Incorporation of the Company (as in effect on the date of the signing of the Deposit Agreement) and are qualified by and subject to the detailed provisions of the Deposit Agreement and the Articles of Incorporation, to which reference is hereby made. All capitalized terms used herein which are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Deposit Agreement. The Depositary makes no representation or warranty as to the validity or worth of the Deposited Securities. The Depositary has made arrangements for the acceptance of the ADSs into DTC. Each Beneficial Owner of ADSs held through DTC must rely on the procedures of DTC and the DTC Participants to exercise and be entitled to any rights attributable to such ADSs.

2. Surrender of ADSs and Withdrawal and Sale of Deposited Securities. The Depositary and the Company have been advised that under ROC law, until three (3) months after the closing of the Offering, a Holder is not entitled to withdraw or sell Shares from the ADS Facility, consequently, the Company and the Depositary agree to prohibit the surrender of ADSs and the sale or Delivery of any Shares deposited in connection with the Offering until the expiration of such three-month period. A Holder wishing to withdraw Shares from the ADS Facility shall be required under ROC law to appoint an eligible agent in the Republic of China to open a securities trading account with a local brokerage firm after receiving an approval from the TSE and a bank account (the securities trading account and the bank account, collectively, the “Accounts”), to pay ROC taxes, remit funds, exercise stockholders' rights and perform such other functions as may be designated by such withdrawing Holder. In addition, such withdrawing Holder is also required to appoint a custodian bank to hold the securities in safekeeping, make confirmations and settle trades and report all relevant information. Without making such appointment and until approval from the TSE is obtained, the withdrawing Holder would be unable to receive, hold, or subsequently sell the Deposited Securities withdrawn from the ADS Facilities on the TSE or otherwise.

(a) Sale of Deposited Securities. Upon surrender of Receipts at the Principal Office and upon payment of any fees, reasonable expenses, taxes or other governmental charges as provided hereunder, subject to the terms of this Deposit Agreement, and the transfer restrictions applicable to the Deposited Securities, if any, Holders may request that the Deposited Securities represented by such Holders' Receipts be sold on such Holders' behalf. Any Holder requesting a sale of Deposited Securities may be required by the Depositary to deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Depositary a written order requesting the Depositary to sell, or cause to be sold, such Deposited Securities. Any such sale of Deposited Securities will be conducted in accordance with applicable ROC law through a securities company in the ROC on the TSE or in such other manner as is or may be permitted under applicable ROC law. Any such sale of Deposited Securities will be at the expense and risk of the Holder requesting such sale.

A-3

Upon receipt of any proceeds from any such sale, the Depositary shall, subject to any restrictions imposed by ROC law and regulations, and as provided hereunder and under the Deposit Agreement, convert or cause to be converted any such proceeds into U.S. dollars and distribute any such proceeds to the Holders entitled thereto after deduction or payment of any fees, reasonable expenses, taxes or governmental charges incurred in connection with such sale, as provided under the Deposit Agreement. Any such sale may be subject to ROC taxation on capital gains, if any, and will be subject to a securities transaction tax in the ROC.

(b) Withdrawal of Deposited Securities. The Holder of ADSs shall be entitled to Delivery (at the Custodian's designated office) of the Deposited Securities at the time represented by the ADS(s) upon satisfaction of each of the following conditions: (i) the Holder (or a duly authorized attorney of the Holder) has duly Delivered ADSs to the Depositary at its Principal Office (and if applicable, the Receipts evidencing such ADSs) for the purpose of withdrawal of the Deposited Securities represented thereby, (ii) if so required by the Depositary, the Receipts Delivered to the Depositary for such purpose have been properly endorsed in blank or are accompanied by proper instruments of transfer in blank (including signature guarantees in accordance with standard securities industry practice), (iii) if so required by the Depositary, the Holder of the ADSs has executed and delivered to the Depositary a written order directing the Depositary to cause the Deposited Securities being withdrawn to be Delivered to or upon the written order of the person(s) designated in such order, (iv) the Holder has delivered to the Depositary the certification contemplated in Exhibit C to the Deposit Agreement, duly completed by or on behalf of the Beneficial Owner(s) of the ADSs surrendered for withdrawal (unless the Depositary is otherwise instructed by the Company), and (v) all applicable fees and charges of, and reasonable expenses incurred by, the Depositary and all applicable taxes and governmental charges (as are set forth in Section 5.9 of, and Exhibit B to, the Deposit Agreement) have been paid, subject, however, in each case, to the terms and conditions of the Receipts evidencing the surrendered ADSs, of the Deposit Agreement, of the Company's Articles of Incorporation and of any applicable laws and the regulations and rules of the Republic of China and the rules of the TSE and the Taiwan Securities Central Depository, and to any provisions of or governing the Deposited Securities, in each case as in effect at the time thereof.

The Company may also restrict, in such manner as it deems appropriate, transfers of ADSs where such transfer may result in the total number of Shares, Deposited Securities or securities convertible into Shares represented by the ADSs owned by a single Holder or Beneficial Owner to exceed any such limits.

The Depositary will provide, without charge, a copy of its latest fee schedule to anyone upon request. The charges and expenses of the Custodian are for the sole account of the Depositary.

It is a condition of this Receipt, and every successive Holder of this Receipt by accepting or holding the same consents and agrees, that title to this Receipt (and to each ADS evidenced hereby) shall be transferable upon the same terms as a certificated security under the laws of the State of New York, provided that the Receipt has been properly endorsed or is accompanied by proper instruments of transfer. Notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, the Depositary and the Company may deem and treat the Holder of this Receipt (that is, the person in whose name this Receipt is registered on the books of the Depositary) as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes.

Receipts bearing the facsimile signature of a duly authorized signatory of the Depositary or the Registrar, who at the time of signature was a duly authorized signatory of the Depositary or the Registrar, as the case may be, shall bind the Depositary, notwithstanding the fact that such signatory has ceased to be so authorized prior to the delivery of such Receipt by the Depositary.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF RECEIPT]

SUMMARY OF CERTAIN ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

OF THE DEPOSIT AGREEMENT

14. Dividends and Distributions in Cash, Eligible Securities, etc. Subject always to the laws and regulations of the Republic of China, whenever the Depositary receives directly confirmation from the Custodian of receipt of any cash dividend or other cash distribution on any Deposited Securities, or receives proceeds from the sale of any Deposited Securities or any entitlements held in respect of Deposited Securities under the terms of the Deposit Agreement, the Depositary will (i) promptly convert or cause to be converted such cash dividend, distribution or proceeds into Dollars (upon the terms of the Deposit Agreement), (ii) if applicable, establish the ADS Record Date upon the terms described in Paragraph (15) hereof and in Section 4.9 of the Deposit Agreement, and (iii) distribute promptly the amount thus received (net of (a) applicable fees and charges of, and reasonable expenses incurred by, the Depositary and (b) taxes withheld) to the Holders entitled thereto as of the ADS Record Date in proportion to the number of ADS held as of the ADS Record Date. The Depositary shall distribute only such amount, however, as can be distributed without attributing to any Holder a fraction of one cent, and any balance not so distributed shall be held by the Depositary (without liability for interest thereon) and shall be added to and become part of the next sum received by the Depositary for distribution to Holders of ADSs then outstanding at the time of the next distribution. If the Company, the Custodian or the Depositary is required to withhold and does withhold from any cash dividend or other cash distribution in respect of any Deposited Securities an amount on account of taxes, duties or other governmental charges, the amount distributed to Holders on the ADSs representing such Deposited Securities shall be reduced accordingly. Such withheld amounts shall be forwarded by the Company, the Custodian or the Depositary to the relevant governmental authority.

If any distribution upon any Deposited Securities consists of a dividend in, or free distribution of, Eligible Securities, the Company shall cause such Eligible Securities to be deposited with the Custodian and registered, as the case may be, in the name of the Depositary, the Custodian or their respective nominees. Upon receipt of confirmation of such deposit from the Custodian, the Depositary shall, subject to and in accordance with the Deposit Agreement and the laws and regulations of the Republic of China, establish the ADS Record Date and either (i) the Depositary shall distribute to the Holders as of the ADS Record Date in proportion to the number of ADSs held as of the ADS Record Date, additional ADSs (of the applicable series), which represent in aggregate the number of Eligible Securities received as such dividend, or free distribution, subject, however, in each case, to the terms of the Deposit Agreement (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth on the face of this Receipt and in Article II of the Deposit Agreement and net of (a) the applicable fees and charges of, and reasonable expenses incurred by, the Depositary and (b) taxes), or (ii) if additional ADSs are not so distributed, each ADS issued and outstanding after the ADS Record Date shall, to the extent permissible by law, thenceforth also represent rights and interest in the additional integral number of Shares distributed upon the Deposited Securities represented thereby (subject, however, in each case, to the laws and regulations of the Republic of China and net of (a) the applicable fees and charges of, and the reasonable expenses incurred by, the Depositary and (b) taxes). In lieu of delivering fractional ADSs, the Depositary shall sell the number of Eligible Securities or ADSs, as the case may be, represented by the aggregate of such fractions and distribute the net proceeds upon the terms set forth in the Deposit Agreement.

A-13

In the event that the Depositary determines that any distribution in property (including Eligible Securities) is subject to any tax or other governmental charges which the Depositary is obligated to withhold, or, if the Company in the fulfillment of its obligations under the Deposit Agreement, has furnished an opinion of U.S. counsel determining that Eligible Securities must be registered under the Securities Act or other laws in order to be distributed to Holders (and no such registration statement has been declared effective), the Depositary may dispose of all or a portion of such property (including Eligible Securities and rights to subscribe therefor) in such amounts and in such manner, including by public or private sale, as the Depositary deems necessary and practicable and the Depositary shall distribute the net proceeds of any such sale (after deduction of (a) taxes and (b) fees and charges of, and reasonable expenses incurred by, the Depositary) to Holders entitled thereto upon the terms of the Deposit Agreement. The Depositary shall hold and/or distribute any unsold balance of such property in accordance with the provisions of the Deposit Agreement.

Upon timely receipt of a notice indicating that the Company wishes an elective distribution to be made available to Holders upon the terms described in the Deposit Agreement, the Company and the Depositary shall determine whether such distribution is lawful and reasonably practicable. If so, the Depositary shall, subject to the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement, establish an ADS record date according to Paragraph (15) and establish procedures to enable the Holder hereof to elect to receive the proposed distribution in cash or in additional ADSs. If a Holder elects to receive the distribution in cash, the dividend shall be distributed as in the case of a distribution in cash. If the Holder hereof elects to receive the distribution in additional ADSs, the distribution shall be distributed as in the case of a distribution in Eligible Securities. If such elective distribution is not lawful or not reasonably practicable, the Depositary shall, to the extent permitted by law, distribute to Holders, on the basis of the same determination as is made in the Republic of China in respect of the Deposited Securities for which no election is made, either (x) cash or (y) additional ADSs representing such additional Eligible Securities, in each case, upon the terms described in the Deposit Agreement. Nothing herein or in the Deposit Agreement shall obligate the Depositary to make available to the Holder hereof a method to receive the elective distribution in Eligible Securities (rather than ADSs). There can be no assurance that the Holder hereof will be given the opportunity to receive elective distributions on the same terms and conditions as the holders of Deposited Securities.

A-14

Upon timely receipt by the Depositary of a notice indicating that the Company wishes rights to subscribe for additional Eligible Securities to be made available to Holders of ADSs, the Depositary upon consultation with the Company, shall determine, whether it is lawful and reasonably practicable to make such rights available to the Holders. If and whenever the Company shall announce its intention to make any offer or invitation to the holders of Eligible Securities to subscribe for or to acquire Eligible Securities or other assets by way of rights, the Depositary shall as soon as practicable thereafter give notice of the same to the Holders, including if applicable, the last date for acceptance thereof and the manner by which and the time during which Holders may instruct the Depositary to exercise such rights. The Depositary shall make such rights available to any Holders only if (i) the Company shall have timely requested the Depositary to make such rights available to Holders, (ii) the Depositary shall have received satisfactory documentation contemplated in the Deposit Agreement, and (iii) the Depositary shall have determined that such distribution of rights is reasonably practicable. In the event any of the conditions set forth above are not satisfied or if the Company requests the Depositary that the rights not be made available to Holders of ADSs, the Depositary shall proceed with the sale of rights as contemplated below. In the event that the conditions set forth above are satisfied, the Depositary shall establish an ADS Record Date (upon the terms described in the Deposit Agreement) and establish procedures (x) to distribute rights to purchase additional ADSs (by means of warrants or otherwise), (y) to enable the Holders to exercise the rights (upon payment of the subscription price and of the applicable (a) fees and charges of, and expenses incurred by, the Depositary and (b) taxes), and (z) to deliver ADSs upon the valid exercise of such rights. Nothing herein or in the Deposit Agreement shall obligate the Depositary to make available to the Holders a method to exercise rights to subscribe for Eligible Securities (rather than ADSs). If (i) the Company does not timely request the Depositary to make the rights available to Holders or if the Company requests that the rights not be made available to Holders, (ii) the Depositary fails to receive satisfactory documentation required by the Deposit Agreement or determines it is not lawful or not reasonably practicable to make the rights available to Holders, or (iii) any rights made available are not exercised and appear to be about to lapse, the Depositary shall determine whether it is lawful and reasonably practicable to sell such rights, in a riskless principal capacity, at such place and upon such terms (including public and private sale) as it may deem reasonably practicable. The Depositary shall, upon such sale, convert and distribute proceeds of such sale (net of applicable fees and charges of, and reasonable expenses incurred by, the Depositary and taxes) upon the terms hereof and of the Deposit Agreement. If the Depositary is unable to make any rights available to Holders or to arrange for the sale of the rights upon the terms described above, the Depositary shall allow such rights to lapse. The Depositary shall not be responsible for (i) any failure to determine that it may be lawful or practicable to make such rights available to Holders in general or any Holders in particular, (ii) any foreign exchange exposure or loss incurred in connection with such sale, or exercise, or (iii) the content of any materials forwarded to the ADR Holders on behalf of the Company in connection with the rights distribution.

Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Deposit Agreement to the contrary, if registration (under the Securities Act or any other applicable law) of the rights or the securities to which any rights relate may be required in order for the Company to offer such rights or such securities to Holders and to sell the securities represented by such rights, the Depositary will not distribute such rights to the Holders (i) unless and until a registration statement under the Securities Act (or other applicable law) covering such offering is in effect or (ii) unless the Company furnishes the Depositary opinion(s) of counsel for the Company in the United States and counsel to the Company in any other applicable country in which rights would be distributed in each case satisfactory to the Depositary, to the effect that the offering and sale of such securities to Holders and Beneficial Owners are exempt from, or do not require registration under, the provisions of the Securities Act or other applicable securities laws. In the event that the Company, the Depositary or the Custodian shall be required to withhold and does withhold from any distribution of property (including rights) an amount on account of taxes or other governmental charges, the amount distributed to the Holders of ADSs representing such Deposited Securities shall be reduced accordingly. In the event that the Depositary determines that any distribution in property (including Eligible Securities and rights to subscribe therefor) is subject to any tax or other governmental charges which the Depositary is obligated to withhold, the Depositary may dispose of all or a portion of such property (including Eligible Securities and rights to subscribe therefor) in such amounts and in such manner, including by public or private sale, as the Depositary deems necessary and practicable to pay any such taxes or charges.

A-15

There can be no assurance that Holders generally, or any Holder in particular, will be given the opportunity to exercise rights on the same terms and conditions as the holders of Deposited Securities or be able to exercise such rights. Nothing herein or in the Deposit Agreement shall obligate the Company to file any registration statement in respect of any rights or Eligible Securities or other securities to be acquired upon the exercise of such rights.

Upon receipt of a notice indicating that the Company wishes property other than cash, Eligible Securities or rights to purchase additional Eligible Securities, to be made to Holders of ADSs, the Depositary shall determine whether such distribution to Holders is lawful and reasonably practicable. The Depositary shall not make such distribution unless (i) the Company shall have requested the Depositary to make such distribution to Holders, (ii) the Depositary shall have received the documentation contemplated in the Deposit Agreement, and (iii) the Depositary shall have determined that such distribution is reasonably practicable. Upon satisfaction of such conditions, the Depositary shall distribute the property so received to the Holders of record, as of the ADS Record Date, in proportion to the respective number of ADSs held by them and in such manner as the Depositary may deem practicable for accomplishing such distribution (i) upon receipt of payment or net of the applicable fees and charges of, and expenses incurred by, the Depositary, and (ii) net of any taxes withheld. The Depositary may dispose of all or a portion of the property so distributed and deposited, in such amounts and in such manner (including public or private sale) as the Depositary may deem practicable or necessary to satisfy any taxes (including applicable interest and penalties) or other governmental charges applicable to the distribution.

If the conditions above are not satisfied, the Depositary shall sell or cause such property to be sold in a public or private sale, at such place or places and upon such terms as it may deem practicable and shall (i) cause the proceeds of such sale, if any, to be converted into Dollars and (ii) distribute the proceeds of such conversion received by the Depositary (net of applicable (a) fees and charges of, and expenses incurred by, the Depositary and (b) taxes) to the Holders as of the ADS Record Date upon the terms hereof and of the Deposit Agreement. If the Depositary is unable to sell such property, the Depositary may dispose of such property in any way it deems reasonably practicable under the circumstances.

15. Fixing of ADS Record Date. Whenever the Depositary shall receive notice of the fixing of a record date by the Company for the determination of holders of Deposited Securities entitled to receive any distribution (whether in cash, Eligible Securities, rights or other distribution), or whenever for any reason the Depositary causes a change in the number of Deposited Securities that are represented by each ADS, or whenever the Depositary shall receive notice of any meeting of, or solicitation of consents or proxies of, holders of Deposited Securities, or whenever the Depositary shall find it necessary or convenient in connection with the giving of any notice, solicitation of any consent or any other matter, the Depositary shall fix a record date (the “ADS Record Date”) for the determination of the Holders of Receipts who shall be entitled to receive such distribution, to give instructions for the exercise of voting rights at any such meeting, to give or withhold such consent, to receive such notice or solicitation or to otherwise take action, or to exercise the rights of Holders with respect to such changed number of Deposited Securities represented by each ADS. The Depositary shall make reasonable efforts to establish the ADS Record Date as closely as possible to the applicable record date for the Deposited Securities (if any) set by the Company in the Republic of China. Subject to applicable law and the terms and conditions of this Receipt and the Deposit Agreement, only the Holders of Receipts at the close of business in New York on such ADS Record Date shall be entitled to receive such distributions, to give such instructions, to receive such notice or solicitation, or otherwise take action.

A-16

16. Voting of Deposited Securities. (1) Voting by Shareholders. The following is a summary of certain rights of holders of Shares, interests in Certificate(s) of Payment and Entitlement Certificate(s), if any, to vote at shareholders' meetings under ROC Company Law and the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, in each case, as in effect on the date hereof: (i) a holder of Shares (including holders of interests in any Certificate of Payment evidencing the irrevocable right to receive Shares) is entitled to one vote for each Share held, (ii) the election of directors and supervisors takes place by means of cumulative voting, and (iii) a shareholder must, as to all matters subject to a vote of shareholders (other than the election of directors and supervisors), exercise the voting rights for all Shares held by such shareholder in the same manner (e.g., a holder of 1,000 Shares cannot split his/her votes but must vote all 1,000 Shares in the same manner except in the event of cumulative voting for an election of directors and supervisors). Pursuant to ROC law, the voting rights attaching to the Deposited Securities must be exercised by, or on behalf of, the Depositary's nominee, as representative of the Holders and Beneficial Owners, collectively in the same manner, except in the case of an election of directors and supervisors, which currently should be on a cumulative basis. Deposited Securities which have been withdrawn from the applicable ADS Facility and timely transferred on the Company's register of shareholders to a person other than the Depositary may be voted by the Registered Holder(s) thereof directly, subject, in each case, to the limitations of ROC law and the Articles of Incorporation of the Company. Holders may not receive sufficient advance notice of shareholders' meetings to enable them to timely withdraw the Deposited Securities and vote at such meetings and may not be able to re-deposit the withdrawn securities under the terms of the Deposit Agreement.

(b) Voting by ADS Holders. Holders of ADSs have no individual voting rights with respect to the Deposited Securities represented by their ADSs. Each Holder shall, by acceptance of ADSs or acquisition of any beneficial interest therein, have authorized and directed the Depositary's nominee, without liability, to appoint the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company (or the Chairman's designate) (the “Voting Representative”), as representative of the Depositary's nominee, who is registered in the ROC as representative of the Holders and Beneficial Owners in respect of the Deposited Securities (the “Registered Holder”), to vote the Shares or Deposited Securities in accordance with the terms hereof.

A-17

The Company agrees to use its best efforts to timely notify the Depositary of any proposed shareholders' meeting and to timely provide to the Depositary in New York, at least twenty-four (24) calendar days before any ordinary shareholders' meeting or at least fourteen (14) calendar days before any extraordinary shareholders' meeting, a sufficient number of copies reasonably requested by the Depositary of an English language translation of the Company's notice of shareholders' meeting and the agenda of the materials to be voted on (in the form the Company generally makes available to holders of Shares in the ROC, including, without limitation, a list of candidates proposed by the Company for an election of directors or supervisors) (such materials collectively, the “Shareholder Notice”). As soon as practicable after receipt by the Depositary of the requisite number of Shareholder Notices, the Depositary shall establish the ADS Record Date (upon the terms of Paragraph (15) hereof and Section 4.9 of the Deposit Agreement) and shall, at the Company's expense and provided that no U.S. legal prohibitions exist, deliver to Holders as of the applicable ADS Record Date, (i) the Shareholder Notice, (ii) a depositary notice setting forth the manner in which Holders of ADSs may instruct the Depositary to cause the Deposited Securities represented by their ADSs to be voted under the terms of the Deposit Agreement, including a description of the Management Instruction (as defined below), together with a form of voting instructions and/or other means to provide voting instructions (the depositary notice and the related materials prepared by the Depositary collectively, the “Depositary Notice”). The Depositary is under no obligation to mail the Shareholder Notice and the Depositary Notice to Holders if the Company has failed to provide to the Depositary in New York the requisite number of Shareholder Notices at least twenty-four (24) calendar days prior to the date of any ordinary shareholders' meeting or at least fourteen (14) calendar days before the date of any extraordinary shareholders' meeting. If the Depositary has not delivered the Shareholder Notice or Depositary Notice to Holders, it will endeavor to cause all Deposited Securities represented by ADRs to be present at the relevant shareholders' meeting insofar as practicable and permitted under applicable law but will not cause the Shares or other Deposited Securities to be voted; provided, however, that the Depositary may determine, in its sole discretion, to send such Shareholder Notice and Depositary Notice to Holders and/or cause the Shares or other Deposited Securities to be voted as it deems appropriate. There can be no assurance that Holders generally or any Holder in particular will receive Shareholder Notices and Depositary Notices with sufficient time to enable the return of voting instructions to the Depositary in a timely manner.

Notwithstanding anything else contained in the Deposit Agreement, the Depositary shall not have any obligation to take any action with respect to any meeting, or solicitation of consents or proxies or instructions, of holders of Shares or other Deposited Securities if the taking of such action would violate U.S. laws.

(c) Voting of Deposited Securities Upon ADS Holders' Instructions. If Holders of ADSs together holding at least 51% of all the ADSs (including Temporary ADSs) outstanding as of the relevant ADS Record Date shall instruct the Depositary, prior to the date established for such purpose by the Depositary, to vote in the same manner in respect of one or more resolutions to be proposed at a shareholders' meeting (including resolutions for the election of directors and/or supervisors), the Depositary shall notify the Voting Representative as the representative of the Registered Holder to attend such shareholders' meeting and vote all Deposited Securities evidenced by ADSs then outstanding as of the ADS Record Date (including Temporary ADSs) in the manner so instructed by such Holders. If voting instructions are received by the Depositary on or before the date established by the Depositary for the receipt of such instructions from any Holder as of the ADS Record Date, which are signed but without further indication as to voting instructions, the Depositary shall deem such Holder to have instructed a vote in favor of the items set forth in such instructions. The Depositary and Custodian shall not have any obligation to monitor, and shall not incur any liability for, the actions, or the failure to act, of the Voting Representative (or his/her designate) as representative of the Registered Holder.

A-18

(d) Depositary Authorization. If, for any reason (other than a failure by the Company to supply the requisite number of Shareholder Notices to the Depositary within the requisite time period provided in the Deposit Agreement), the Depositary has not, prior to the date established for such purpose by the Depositary, received instructions from Holders together holding at least 51% of all ADSs (including Temporary ADSs) outstanding at the relevant ADS Record Date, to vote in the same manner in respect of any resolution (including resolutions for the election of directors and/or supervisors), then, subject to the following paragraph, the Holders shall be deemed to have authorized and directed the Depositary's nominee to authorize (the “Depositary Authorization”) the Voting Representative as the representative of the Registered Holder to attend and vote at such meeting all the Deposited Securities represented by ADSs then outstanding (including Temporary ADSs) in his or her discretion. In such circumstances, the Voting Representative shall be free to exercise the votes attaching to the Deposited Securities in any manner she/he wishes, which may not be in the interests of the Holders.

The Depositary's Authorization, provided in the manner and under the circumstances described in the preceding paragraph, shall be subject to the receipt by the Depositary prior to each shareholders' meeting of an opinion of ROC counsel of the Company addressed to, and in form and substance satisfactory to, the Depositary to the effect that under ROC law (i) the arrangements relating to the Depositary Authorization are permissible, and (ii) the Depositary will not be deemed to be authorized to exercise any discretion when causing the voting in accordance with Section 4.10 of the Deposit Agreement and will not (in the absence of negligence, bad faith or breach of contract, and subject to general principles of agency) be subject to any liability under ROC law for losses arising from the exercise of the voting arrangements set out in Section 4.10 of the Deposit Agreement on the grounds that voting in accordance with Section 4.10 of the Deposit Agreement is in violation of ROC law. In the event the Depositary does not receive such opinion, the Depositary will not grant the Depositary Authorization, but will cause the Deposited Securities to be present at the shareholders' meeting to the extent practicable and permitted by applicable law and will not cause the Deposited Securities to be voted.

The Depositary shall not, and the Depositary shall ensure that the Custodian and its nominees do not, vote or attempt to exercise the right to vote that attaches to the Shares or other Deposited Securities, other than in accordance with instructions given in accordance with Section 4.10 of the Deposit Agreement. The terms of Section 4.10 of the Deposit Agreement may be amended from time to time in accordance with the terms of the Deposit Agreement. By continuing to hold ADSs after the effective time of such amendment, all Holders and Beneficial Owners shall be deemed to have agreed to the terms of the Deposit Agreement as so amended.

A-19

17. Changes Affecting Deposited Securities. Upon any change in nominal or par value, split-up, cancellation, consolidation or any other reclassification of Deposited Securities, or upon any recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale of assets affecting the Company or to which it is a party, any securities which shall be received by the Depositary or the Custodian in exchange for, or in conversion of or replacement of or otherwise in respect of, such Deposited Securities shall, to the extent permitted by law, be substituted for and treated as Deposited Securities under the Deposit Agreement, and the Receipts shall, subject to the provisions of the Deposit Agreement and applicable law, evidence ADSs representing the right to receive such additional or replacement securities, as applicable. The Depositary may, with the Company's approval, and shall, if the Company shall so request, subject to the terms of the Deposit Agreement and receipt by the Depositary of (a) a written opinion of U.S. counsel (reasonably satisfactory to the Depositary) stating whether or not: (1) such exchange, conversion or replacement requires registration of such securities under the Securities Act and/or Exchange Act or (2) such exchange, conversion or replacement of such securities as then contemplated is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and/or Exchange Act and (b) a written opinion of ROC counsel (reasonably satisfactory to the Depositary) stating that (1) such exchange, conversion or replacement does not violate the laws or regulations of the Republic of China and (2) all requisite regulatory consents and approvals relating to such exchange, conversion or replacement have been obtained in the Republic of China, execute and deliver additional Receipts as in the case of a dividend of Eligible Securities, or call for the surrender of outstanding Receipts to be exchanged for new Receipts, in either case, as well as in the event of newly deposited Shares, with necessary modifications to the form of Receipt contained herein, specifically describing such new Deposited Securities or corporate change. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any security so received may not be lawfully distributed to some or all Holders, the Depositary may, with the Company's approval, and shall, if the Company requests, subject to receipt of an opinion of the Company 's counsel, satisfactory to the Depositary, that such action is not in violation of any applicable laws or regulations, sell such securities at public or private sale, at such place or places and upon such terms as it may deem proper and may allocate the net proceeds of such sales (net of (a) fees and charges of, and reasonable expenses incurred by, the Depositary and (b) taxes) for the account of the Holders otherwise entitled to such securities upon an averaged or other practicable basis without regard to any distinctions among such Holders and distribute the net proceeds so allocated to the extent practicable as in the case of a distribution received in cash pursuant to the Deposit Agreement. The Depositary shall not be responsible for (i) any failure to determine that it may be lawful or feasible to make such securities available to Holders in general or any Holder in particular, (ii) any foreign exchange exposure or loss incurred in connection with such sale, or (iii) any liability to the purchaser of such securities.

18. Exoneration. Neither the Depositary nor the Company shall be obligated to do or perform any act which is inconsistent with the provisions of the Deposit Agreement or incur any liability (i) if the Depositary or the Company shall be prevented or forbidden from, or delayed in, doing or performing any act or thing required by the terms of the Deposit Agreement and this Receipt, by reason of any provision of any present or future law or regulation of the United States, the Republic of China or any other country, or of any other governmental authority or regulatory authority or stock exchange, or on account of the possible criminal or civil penalties or restraint, or by reason of any provision, present or future of the Articles of Incorporation of the Company or any provision of or governing any Deposited Securities, or by reason of any act of God, terrorism or war or other circumstances beyond its control (including, without limitation, nationalization, expropriation, currency restrictions, work stoppage, strikes, civil unrest, revolutions, rebellions, explosions and computer failure), (ii) by reason of any exercise of, or failure to exercise, any discretion provided for in the Deposit Agreement or in the Articles of Incorporation of the Company or provisions of or governing Deposited Securities, (iii) for any action or inaction in reliance upon the advice or information from legal counsel, accountants, any person presenting Shares for deposit, any Holder, any Beneficial Owner or authorized representative thereof, or any other person believed by it in good faith to be competent to give such advice or information, (iv) for the inability by a Holder or Beneficial Owner to benefit from any distribution, offering, right or other benefit which is made available to holders of Deposited Securities but is not, under the terms of this Deposit Agreement, made available to Holders of ADS or (v) for any consequential or punitive damages for any breach of the terms of the Deposit Agreement. The Depositary, its controlling persons, its agents, any Custodian and the Company, its controlling persons and its agents may rely and shall be protected in acting upon any written notice, request or other document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. No disclaimer of liability under the Securities Act is intended by any provision of the Deposit Agreement or this Receipt.

19. Standard of Care. The Company and its agents assume no obligation and shall not be subject to any liability under the Deposit Agreement or the Receipts to Holders or Beneficial Owners or other persons, except that the Company and its agents agree to perform their obligations specifically set forth in the Deposit Agreement without negligence or bad faith. The Depositary and its agents assume no obligation and shall not be subject to any liability under the Deposit Agreement or the Receipts to Holders or Beneficial Owners or other persons, except that the Depositary and its agents agree to perform their obligations specifically set forth in the Deposit Agreement without negligence or bad faith. Without limitation of the foregoing, neither the Depositary, nor the Company, nor any of their respective controlling persons, or agents, shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any action, suit or other proceeding in respect of any Deposited Securities or in respect of the Receipts, which in its opinion may involve it in expense or liability, unless indemnity satisfactory to it against all expense (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) and liability be furnished as often as may be required (and no Custodian shall be under any obligation whatsoever with respect to such proceedings, the responsibility of the Custodian being solely to the Depositary). The Depositary and its agents shall not be liable for any failure to carry out any instructions to vote any of the Deposited Securities, or for the manner in which any vote is cast or the effect of any vote, provided that any such action or omission is in good faith and without negligence and in accordance with the terms of the Deposit Agreement. Provided that the Depositary acts or omits to act in good faith and without negligence, the Depositary shall not incur any liability for any failure to determine that any distribution or action may be lawful or reasonably practicable, for the content of any information submitted to it by the Company for distribution to the Holders or for any inaccuracy of any translation thereof, for any investment risk associated with acquiring an interest in the Deposited Securities, for the validity or worth of the Deposited Securities or for any tax consequences that may result from the ownership of ADSs, Shares or Deposited Securities, for the credit-worthiness of any third party, for allowing any rights to lapse upon the terms of the Deposit Agreement, for the failure or timeliness of any notice from the Company. Nothing in this Receipt or in the Deposit Agreement shall cause the Depositary or any of its agents to incur any liability as a result of any action or failure to act by any trustee under a Trust Deed governing the Bonds.

A-21

20. Resignation and Removal of the Depositary; Appointment of Successor Depositary. The Depositary may at any time resign as Depositary under the Deposit Agreement by written notice of resignation delivered to the Company, such resignation to be effective on the earlier of (i) the 60th day after delivery thereof to the Company, or (ii) upon the appointment of a successor depositary and its acceptance of such appointment as provided in the Deposit Agreement. The Depositary may at any time be removed by the Company by written notice of such removal which notice shall be effective on the earlier of (i) the 60th day after delivery thereof to the Depositary, or (ii) upon the appointment of a successor depositary and its acceptance of such appointment as provided in the Deposit Agreement. In case at any time the Depositary acting hereunder shall resign or be removed, the Company shall use its best efforts to appoint a successor depositary, which shall be a bank or trust company having an office in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York. Every successor depositary shall be required by the Company to 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 (except as required by applicable law), shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its immediate predecessor other than as contemplated in the Deposit Agreement. The immediate predecessor depositary, upon payment of all sums due to it and on the written request of the Company, shall (i) execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor all rights and powers of such predecessor hereunder (other than as contemplated in the Deposit Agreement), (ii) duly assign, transfer and deliver all rights, titles and interests to the Deposited Securities to such successor, and (iii) deliver to such successor a list of the Holders of all outstanding Receipts and such other information relating to Receipts and Holders thereof as the successor may reasonably request. Any such successor depositary shall promptly provide notice of its appointment to such Holders. Any corporation into or with which the Depositary may be merged or consolidated shall be the successor of the Depositary without the execution or filing of any document or any further act.

21. Amendment/Supplement. This Receipt and any provisions of the Deposit Agreement may at any time and from time to time be amended or supplemented by written agreement between the Company and the Depositary in any respect which they may deem necessary or desirable without the prior written consent of the Holders or Beneficial Owners. Any amendment or supplement which shall impose or increase any fees or charges (other than the charges in connection with foreign exchange control regulations, and taxes and other governmental charges, delivery and other such expenses), or which shall otherwise materially prejudice any substantial existing right of Holders or Beneficial Owners, shall not, however, become effective as to outstanding Receipts until the expiration of thirty (30) days after notice of such amendment or supplement shall have been given to the Holders of outstanding Receipts. The parties hereto agree that any amendments or supplements which (i) are reasonably necessary (as agreed by the Company and the Depositary) in order for (a) the ADSs to be registered on Form F-6 under the Securities Act or (b) the ADSs to be traded solely in electronic book-entry form and (ii) do not in either such case impose or increase any fees or charges to be borne by Holders, shall be deemed not to materially prejudice any substantial rights of Holders or Beneficial Owners. Every Holder and Beneficial Owner at the time any amendment or supplement becomes effective shall be deemed, by continuing to hold such ADS(s), to consent and agree to such amendment or supplement and to be bound by the Deposit Agreement as amended or supplemented thereby. In no event shall any amendment or supplement impair the right of the Holder to surrender such Receipt and receive therefor the Deposited Securities represented thereby, except in order to comply with mandatory provisions of applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any governmental body should adopt new laws, rules or regulations which would require amendment or supplement of the Deposit Agreement to ensure compliance therewith, the Company and the Depositary may amend or supplement the Deposit Agreement and this Receipt at any time in accordance with such changed laws, rules or regulations. Such amendment or supplement to the Deposit Agreement in such circumstances may become effective before a notice of such amendment or supplement is given to Holders or within any other period of time as required for compliance with such laws, rules or regulations.

▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. The Depositary shall, at any time at the written direction of the Company, terminate the Deposit Agreement by providing notice of such termination to the Holders of all Receipts then outstanding at least thirty (30) days prior to the date fixed in such notice for such termination. If sixty (60) days shall have expired after (i) the Depositary shall have delivered to the Company a written notice of its election to resign, or (ii) the Company shall have delivered to the Depositary a written notice of the removal of the Depositary, and in either case a successor depositary shall not have been appointed and accepted its appointment as provided herein and in the Deposit Agreement, the Depositary may terminate the Deposit Agreement by providing notice of such termination to the Holders of all Receipts then outstanding at least thirty (30) days prior to the date fixed for such termination. On and after the date of termination of the Deposit Agreement, the Holder of a Receipt will, upon surrender of such Receipt at the Principal Office of the Depositary, upon the payment of the charges of the Depositary for the surrender of Receipts referred to in Paragraph (2) hereof and in the Deposit Agreement and subject to the conditions and restrictions therein set forth and subject always to the restrictions on withdrawal as may be in effect under the laws and regulations of the Republic of China, and upon payment of any applicable taxes or governmental charges, be entitled to Delivery, to him or upon his order, of the amount of Deposited Securities represented by such Receipt. If any Receipts shall remain outstanding after the date of termination of the Deposit Agreement, the Registrar thereafter shall discontinue the registration of transfers of Receipts, and the Depositary shall suspend the distribution of dividends to the Holders thereof, and shall not give any further notices or perform any further acts under the Deposit Agreement, except that the Depositary shall continue to collect dividends and other distributions pertaining to Deposited Securities, shall sell rights as provided in the Deposit Agreement, and shall continue to deliver Deposited Securities, subject to the conditions and restrictions set forth in the Deposit Agreement, 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, or charging, as the case may be, in each case the charges of the Depositary for the surrender of a Receipt, any expenses for the account of the Holder in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement and any applicable taxes or governmental charges or assessments). At any time after the expiration of six (6) months from the date of termination of the Deposit Agreement, the Depositary may sell the Deposited Securities 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, in an unsegregated account, without liability for interest for the pro rata benefit of the Holders whose Receipts have not theretofore been surrendered, such Holders thereupon becoming general creditors of the Depositary with respect to such net proceeds. After making such sale, the Depositary shall be discharged from all obligations under the Deposit Agreement with respect to the Receipts, the Deposited Securities and the ADSs, except to account for such net proceeds and other cash (after deducting, or charging, as the case may be, in each case, the charges of the Depositary for the surrender of a Receipt, any expenses for the account of the Holder in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement and any applicable taxes or governmental charges or assessments). Upon the termination of the Deposit Agreement, the Company shall be discharged from all obligations under the Deposit Agreement except as set forth in the Deposit Agreement.

23. Compliance with U.S. Securities Laws. Notwithstanding any provisions in this Receipt or the Deposit Agreement to the contrary, the withdrawal or delivery of Deposited Securities will not be suspended by the Company or the Depositary except as would be permitted by Instruction I.A.(1) of the General Instructions to Form F-6 Registration Statement, as amended from time to time, under the Securities Act of 1933.

24. Certain Rights of the Depositary; Limitations. Subject always to the laws and regulations of the Republic of China and to the further terms and provisions of this Paragraph (24) and Section 5.10 of the Deposit Agreement, the Depositary, its Affiliates and their agents, on their own behalf, may own and deal in any class of securities of the Company and its Affiliates and in ADSs. In its capacity as Depositary, the Depositary shall not lend Deposited Securities or ADSs; provided, however, that the Depositary may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) issue ADSs prior to the receipt of Eligible Securities pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Deposit Agreement and (ii) deliver Deposited Securities only upon the prior receipt of ADSs for cancellation upon withdrawal of Deposited Securities pursuant to Section 2.7 of the Deposit Agreement, including ADSs which were issued under (i) above but for which Eligible Securities may not have been received (each such transaction in (i) above a “Pre-Release Transaction”). The Depositary may receive ADSs in lieu of Eligible Securities under (i) above. Each such Pre-Release Transaction will be (a) subject to a written agreement whereby the person or entity (the “Applicant”) to whom ADSs or Deposited Securities are to be delivered (w) represents that at the time of the Pre-Release Transaction the Applicant or its customer owns the Eligible Securities that are to be delivered by the Applicant under such Pre-Release Transaction, (x) agrees to indicate the Depositary as owner of such Eligible Securities in its records and to hold such Eligible Securities in trust for the Depositary until such Eligible Securities are delivered to the Depositary or the Custodian, (y) unconditionally guarantees to deliver to the Depositary or the Custodian, as applicable, such Eligible Securities, and (z) agrees to any additional restrictions or requirements that the Depositary deems appropriate, (b) at all times fully collateralized with cash, United States government securities or such other collateral as the Depositary deems appropriate, (c) terminable by the Depositary on not more than five (5) business days' notice and (d) subject to such further indemnities and credit regulations as the Depositary deems appropriate. The Depositary will normally limit the number of ADSs and Eligible Securities involved in such Pre-Release Transactions at any one time to thirty percent (30%) of the ADSs outstanding (without giving effect to ADSs outstanding under (i) above), provided, however, that the Depositary reserves the right to disregard such limit from time to time as it deems appropriate and may, with the prior written consent of the Company, change such limit for purposes of general application.

A-24

The Depositary may also set limits with respect to the number of ADSs and Eligible Securities involved in Pre-Release Transactions with any one person on a case by case basis as it deems appropriate. The Depositary may retain for its own account any compensation received by it in conjunction with the foregoing. Collateral provided pursuant to (b) above, but not the earnings thereon, shall be held for the benefit of the Holders (other than the Applicant). Temporary COP ADSs, Temporary EC ADSs, Certificate of Payment and Entitlement Certificates shall not be eligible for Pre-Release Transactions hereunder.

In addition, to the extent permitted under applicable law, in its capacity as Depositary, the Depositary may, when a Holder of ADSs so requests, cause the Deposited Shares to be sold and deliver the proceeds of the sale prior to the receipt and cancellation of ADSs (each such transaction a “Pre-Cancellation Sale”) prior to the receipt of ADSs for cancellation. Each such Pre-Cancellation Sale will be (a) accompanied by or subject to a written agreement whereby the person or entity (the “Applicant”) to whom the proceeds of the sale of Deposited Securities are to be delivered which, (i) represents that at the time of the Pre-Cancellation Sale, the Applicant or its customer owns the ADSs that are to be delivered by the Applicant under such Pre-Cancellation Sale, (ii) agrees to indicate the Depositary as owner of such ADSs in its records and to hold such ADSs in trust for the Depositary until such ADSs are delivered to the Depositary, (iii) unconditionally guarantees to deliver to the Depositary such ADSs, and (iv) agrees to any additional restrictions or requirements that the Depositary deems appropriate; (b) at all times fully collateralized with cash, United States government securities or such other collateral as the Depositary deems appropriate; (c) terminable by the Depositary on not more than five (5) business days notice; and (d) subject to such further indemnities and credit regulations as the Depositary deems appropriate and may, with the prior written consent of the Company, change such limit for purposes of general application.

The Depositary will normally limit the number of Deposited Securities involved in such Pre-Cancellation Sales at any one time to thirty percent (30%) of the Deposited Securities outstanding, provided, however, that the Depositary reserves the right to disregard such limit from time to time as it deems appropriate.

Beneficial Owners of ADSs may not receive sufficient advance notice of an annual ordinary meeting of the Company’s shareholders to enable the timely withdrawal of Shares to make a Proposal to the Company and may not be able to re-deposit under the Deposit Agreement the Shares so withdrawn. The Company has informed the Depositary that a Proposal shall only be voted upon at the annual ordinary meeting of the Company’s shareholders if the Proposal is accepted by the board of directors of the Company as eligible in accordance with Article 172-1 of the ROC Company Law and the Company's Articles of Incorporation for consideration at an annual ordinary meeting of the Company’s shareholders.
