Section 202. Maturity. The Stated Maturity of principal of the Notes is March 17, 2047.

Section 203. Further Issues. The Company may from time to time, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, issue additional Notes. Any such additional Notes will have the same ranking, interest rate, maturity date and other terms as the Notes herein provided for. To the extent permitted by applicable authorities in the Republic of China and subject to the receipt of all necessary regulatory and listing approvals from such authorities, including but not limited to the Taipei Exchange and the Taiwan Securities Association, any such additional Notes, together with the Notes herein provided for, will constitute a single series of Securities under the Indenture. No additional Notes may be issued if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Notes. The Company will not issue any additional Notes intended to form a single series with the Notes herein provided for unless such additional Notes will be fungible with the Notes herein provided for, for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Section 204. Interest. The Notes will bear interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) from March 17, 2017 at the rate of 4.20% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears; interest payable on each Interest Payment Date will include interest accrued from March 17, 2017, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for; the Interest Payment Dates on which such interest shall be payable are March 17 and September 17 of each year, beginning on September 17, 2017; and the Regular Record Date for the interest payable on any Interest Payment Date is the close of business (in New York) on the March 3 or September 3 (whether or not a Business Day (as defined below)), as the case may be, immediately preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date.

(a) The Global Securities representing the Notes shall be deposited with, or on behalf of, The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch (together with any successors, the “Depository”), a common depository for Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. as operator of the Euroclear system or any successor clearing agency (“Euroclear”), and Clearstream Banking S.A., as currently in effect or any successor securities clearing agency (“Clearstream”), and registered in the name of such common depository or its nominee for the accounts of Euroclear and Clearstream, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as provided in Section 303 and the Indenture. Each such Global Security shall constitute a single Security for all purposes of the Indenture.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision in the Indenture, no Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Notes registered, and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depository for such Global Security or a nominee thereof unless (A) such Depository (1) has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for such Global Security and no successor Depository has been appointed within 90 days after such notice or (2) ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under Section 17A of the Exchange Act when the Depository is required to be so registered to act as the Depository and so notifies the Company, and no successor Depository has been

appointed within 90 days after such notice, (B) the Company determines at any time that the Notes shall no longer be represented by Global Securities and shall inform such Depository of such determination and participants in such Depository elect to withdraw their beneficial interests in the Notes from such Depository, following notification by the Depository of their right to do so, or (C) such exchange is made upon request by or on behalf of the Depository in accordance with customary procedures, following the request of a Holder seeking to exercise or enforce its rights under the Notes during the continuance of an Event of Default.

(c) Subject to clause (b) above, any exchange of a Global Security for other Notes may be made in whole or in part, and all Notes issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be registered in such names as the Depository for such Global Security shall direct in writing to the Trustee.

(d) Every Note authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Security, unless such Note is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depository for such Global Security or a nominee thereof.

(e) Subject to the provisions of clause (g) below, the registered Holder may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members (as defined below in clause (g)) and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under the Indenture or the Notes.

(f) In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in clause (b) above, the Company will promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of certificated Notes in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons.

(g) Neither any members of, or participants in, the Depository (collectively, the “Agent Members”) nor any other Persons on whose behalf Agent Members may act shall have any rights under the Indenture with respect to any Global Security registered in the name of the Depository or any nominee thereof, or under any such Global Security, and the Depository or such nominee, as the case may be, may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner and Holder of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company or the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository or such nominee, as the case may be, or impair, as between the Depository, its Agent Members and any other Person on whose behalf an Agent Member may act, the operation of customary practices of such Persons governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note.

(a) At the Company’s option, the Notes may be redeemed, in whole, but not in part, on each March 17 on or after March 17, 2020 (each a “Redemption Date”) at a redemption price to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months (the “Redemption Price”) equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed on the relevant Redemption Date plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the relevant Redemption Date. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the relevant Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes called for redemption.

(b) Notice of any redemption of the Notes shall be given in the manner and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of Section 1104 of the Indenture; provided, however, that notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at his address appearing in the Security Register, and that any such notice in lieu of stating the applicable Redemption Price, shall state the manner in which such Redemption Price shall be calculated. If the Company has given notice of redemption as provided in the Indenture and funds for the redemption of the Notes called for redemption have been made available on the Redemption Date referred to in that notice, such Notes will cease to bear interest on such Redemption Date (unless the Company defaults in the payment of the applicable Redemption Price and accrued and unpaid interest). Any interest accrued to such Redemption Date will be paid as specified in such notice.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Article Four, installments of interest on the Notes that are due and payable on the Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to a Redemption Date will be payable on the Interest Payment Date to the Holders of the Notes as of the close of business (in New York) on the relevant record date according to the Notes and the Indenture.

Section 402. Redemption for Tax Reasons. If, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated under the laws) of the United States (or any taxing authority thereof or therein), or any change in, or amendments to, an official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment is announced or becomes effective on or after February 24, 2017, the Company becomes or, based upon a written opinion of independent tax counsel of recognized standing selected by the Company, will become obligated to pay additional amounts as described under Article Seven with respect to the Notes, then the Company may at its option, having given not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior notice to Holders, redeem, in whole, but not in part, the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest (including any additional amounts) on such Notes to, but excluding, the redemption date.

(j) to any withholding or deduction that is imposed on a payment pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and related Treasury regulations and pronouncements or any successor provisions thereto (that are substantively comparable and not materially more onerous to comply with) and any regulations or official law, agreement or interpretations thereof in any jurisdiction implementing an intergovernmental approach thereto (collectively, “FATCA”); or

Section 802. Payment.

(a) In order to provide for all payments due on the Notes as the same shall become due, the Company shall cause to be paid to the Paying Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m. London time on the due date for the payment of each Note (or such other time and date as may be agreed in writing between the Company and the Paying Agent), at such bank as the Paying Agent shall previously have notified to the Company, immediately available funds sufficient to meet all payments due on such Notes.

(b) The Company hereby authorizes and directs the Paying Agent, from the amounts paid to it pursuant to this Section 802, to make or cause to be made all payments on the Notes in accordance with the terms thereof. Such payments shall be made to the Holder or Holders of Notes in accordance with the terms of the Notes, the provisions contained in this Article Eight, and the procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream. All interest payments in respect of the Notes will be made by the Paying Agent on the relevant Interest Payment Date (as set forth in the Notes) to the Holders in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business (in New York) on the record date specified in the Notes next preceding the interest payment date or such other date as is provided in the Notes. So long as the Notes are represented by one or more global certificates and registered in the name of a nominee of a common depository for Euroclear and Clearstream, all interest payments on the Notes shall be made by the Paying Agent by wire transfer of immediately available funds in dollars to such Holder.

(c) The Paying Agent, to the extent sufficient funds are available to it, will pay the principal amount of each Note and premium, if any, on the applicable Stated Maturity or upon any Redemption Date with respect thereto, together with accrued and unpaid interest due at the Stated Maturity or such Redemption Date, if any, upon presentation and surrender of such Note on or after the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date thereof to the Paying Agent, or as specified in the Notes.

(d) If for any reason the amounts received by the Paying Agent are insufficient to satisfy all claims in respect of all payments then due on the Notes, the Paying Agent shall forthwith notify the Company, and the Paying Agent shall not be obliged to pay any such claims until the Paying Agent has received the full amount of the monies then due and payable in respect of such Notes. If, however, the Paying Agent in its sole discretion shall make payment on the Notes at their Stated Maturity or redemption, or payments of interest or such other payments when otherwise due (it being understood that the Paying Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to make any such payment) and the amount which should have been received is not received on such date, the Company agrees forthwith on demand to pay, or procure the payment of, to the Paying Agent, in addition to the amount which should have been paid hereunder, interest thereon from the day following the date when the amount unpaid should have been received under this Eighth Supplemental Indenture to the date when such amount is actually received (inclusive) at a rate equal to the cost of the Paying Agent of funding such amount, as certified by the Paying Agent and expressed as a rate per annum.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing:

(i) if any Note is presented or surrendered for payment to the Paying Agent and the Paying Agent has delivered a replacement therefor or has been notified that the same has been replaced, the Paying Agent shall as soon as is reasonably practicable notify the Company in writing of such presentation or surrender and shall not make payment against the same until it is so instructed by the Company and has received the amount to be so paid; and

(ii) the Paying Agent shall cancel each Note against surrender of which it has made full payment and shall deliver each Note so cancelled by it to the Trustee.

(d) The Paying Agent shall not exercise any lien, right of set-off or similar claim against any Holder of a Note in respect of moneys payable by it under this Article Eight; however, should the Paying Agent elect to make a payment pursuant to Section 802(d), it shall be entitled to appropriate for its own account out of the funds received by it under Section 802 an amount equal to the amount so paid by it.

(e) The Paying Agent may (at the reasonable and documented expense of the Company) consult, on any matter concerning its duties hereunder, any legal adviser or other expert selected by it with due care and, with respect to the selection of other experts, in consultation with the Company, and the Paying Agent shall not be liable in respect of anything done, or omitted to be done in good faith in accordance with that adviser’s opinion.

(l) Notwithstanding any section of this Article Eight to the contrary, the Paying Agent will not in any event be liable for special, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Paying Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

(m) The Paying Agent, its officers, directors, employees and shareholders may become the owners of, or acquire any interest in, the Notes, with the same rights that it or they would have if it were not the Paying Agent, and may engage or be interested in any financial or other transaction with the Company as freely as if it were not the Paying Agent.

[Reverse of Security]

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of January 30, 2001, as supplemented by the eighth supplemental indenture, dated as of March 17, 2017 (herein called the “Indenture”, which then shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, formerly known as The Bank of New York, as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, formerly known as The Chase Manhattan Bank, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Indenture. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $1,065,000,000.

At the Company’s option, the Securities may be redeemed, in whole but not in part, on each March 17 on or after March 17, 2020 (each a “Redemption Date”) at a redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed on the relevant Redemption Date plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the relevant Redemption Date. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the relevant Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Securities called for redemption.

If, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated under the laws) of the United States (or any taxing authority thereof or therein), or any change in, or amendments to, an official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment is announced or becomes effective on or after February 24, 2017, the Company becomes or, based upon a written opinion of independent tax counsel of recognized standing selected by the Company, will become obligated to pay additional amounts with respect to the Securities, then the Company may at its option, having given not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior notice to Holders, redeem, in whole, but not in part, the Securities at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest (including any additional amounts) on the Securities to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

The Redemption Price will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Once notice of redemption is mailed by the Company, the Securities called for redemption will become due and payable on the applicable Redemption Date at the applicable Redemption Price.

Notice of any redemption of the Securities shall be given in the manner and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of Section 1104 of the Indenture; provided, however, that notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at his address appearing in the Security Register, and that any such notice in lieu of stating the applicable Redemption Price, shall state the manner in which such Redemption Price shall be calculated. If the Company has given notice of redemption as provided in the Indenture and funds for the redemption of the Securities called for redemption have been made available on the Redemption Date referred to in that notice, such Securities will cease to bear interest on such Redemption Date (unless the Company defaults in the payment of the applicable Redemption Price and accrued and unpaid interest). Any interest accrued to such Redemption Date will be paid as specified in such notice.

At or prior to the time of giving of any notice of redemption to the Holders of any Securities to be redeemed, the Company shall deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee setting forth the calculation of the Redemption Price or the manner in which the Redemption Price shall be calculated, as relevant, applicable to such redemption. The Trustee shall be under no duty to inquire into, may conclusively presume the correctness of, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, the applicable Redemption Price as so calculated, or the manner in which such Redemption Price shall be calculated, as relevant, and set forth in such Officers’ Certificate.

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Security and certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Security, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of all series at the time Outstanding affected thereby (voting as one class). The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series, with respect to which any default under the Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing (voting as one class), on behalf of the Holders of all the Outstanding Securities of such series, to waive, with certain exceptions, such past default with respect to such series and its consequences. The Indenture also permits the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, on behalf of the Holders of all Outstanding Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registerable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested in writing by the Holder surrendering the same.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

No recourse for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Security, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company in the Indenture or in any supplemental indenture, or in this Security, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented hereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or any successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that all such liability was expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as consideration for, the execution of the Indenture and is a condition of, and is consideration for, the execution of this Security.
