Common use of Amendment and Supplement of Deposit Agreement and Receipts Clause in Contracts

Amendment and Supplement of Deposit Agreement and Receipts. This Receipt and the Deposit Agreement may at any time and from time to time be amended or supplemental by agreement between the Company and the Depositary in any respect which they may deem necessary or desirable. Any amendment or supplement which shall impose or increase any fees or charges (other than charges in connection with foreign exchange control regulations, and taxes and other governmental charges, delivery and other such expenses), or which shall otherwise prejudice any substantial existing right of Holders or Beneficial Owners shall not, however, become effective as to outstanding Receipts until the expiration of 30 days after notice of such amendment or supplement shall have been given to the Holders of outstanding Receipts in accordance with Section 7.05 of the Deposit Agreement. The parties to the Deposit Agreement 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 of 1933 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 so becomes effective shall be deemed, by continuing to hold this Receipt or to own any beneficial interest herein, to consent and agree to such amendment or supplement and to be bound by the Deposit Agreement and this Receipt as amended or supplemented thereby. In no event shall any amendment or supplement impair the right of the Holder to surrender this 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 an amendment of, or supplement to, 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 and this Receipt 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.
