ROC Requirements.

Such Tax Guarantor will be required to meet the qualifications set by the Ministry of Finance of the ROC and will act as the guarantor of the withdrawing Holder's tax payment obligations. In addition, subject to certain limited exceptions, under current ROC law, repatriation of profits by a non-ROC withdrawing Holder is subject to the submission of evidence of the appointment of a Tax Guarantor to, and approval thereof by, the tax authority. In addition, under current ROC law, such withdrawing Holder is required to appoint a local agent in the ROC to, among other things, open a securities trading account with a local securities brokerage firm, remit funds and exercise a shareholder's rights. In addition, such withdrawing Holder is also required to appoint a custodian bank to hold the securities and cash in safekeeping, make confirmations and settle trades and report all relevant information. Without making such appointment and the opening of such account, the withdrawing Holder would be unable to hold or subsequently sell the Deposited Securities withdrawn from the ADR Facilities on the TSE or otherwise. The laws of the ROC applicable to the withdrawal of Deposited Securities may change from time to time. There can be no assurances that current law will remain in effect or that future changes of ROC law will not adversely affect the ability of Holders to withdraw Deposited Securities hereunder.
