Whenever the Company proposes to issue any Certificate of Payment eligible for deposit hereunder (in connection with the Offering or otherwise), the Company shall timely notify the Depositary thereof and provide the Depositary with written instructions to the effect that, inter alia, (i) the Certificate of Payment has been or is to be issued pursuant to a bona fide purchase of Shares from the Company, (ii) the Certificate of Payment is not, and shall not be deemed to be upon its deposit, and the Shares issuable pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Payment will not be, Restricted Securities, (iii) a description of the rights (if any) to any distribution upon Deposited Securities to be made to Holders of Temporary ADSs representing such Certificates of Payment upon the terms set forth in Article IV hereof, and (iv) the date established by the Company upon which the Company shall convert or cause to be converted the Certificate of Payment into Shares on its records and on the records of the Eligible Securities Registrar. Subject always to the laws and regulations of the Republic of China, upon deposit of any Certificate of Payment hereunder and payment to the Depositary of the charges of the Depositary for accepting a deposit, issuing ADSs and issuing and delivering Receipts (as set forth in Section 5.9 and Exhibit B hereto), the Depositary shall (i) cause the Custodian to hold such Certificate of Payment separate and distinct from the Shares, any other Certificate(s) of Payment and any other Deposited Securities and (ii) issue and deliver Temporary ADSs representing interests in the Certificate of Payment so deposited. The Temporary ADSs so issued shall be identified and treated separately and distinctly from any other ADSs representing Deposited Securities hereunder by means, inter alia, of separate CUSIP numbering and legending (if necessary). The Depositary may issue Temporary ADSs in one or multiple series as the Depositary in its sole discretion deems necessary and appropriate. No Temporary ADS shall be fungible with any other ADSs issued hereunder. The Depositary shall deliver Temporary ADSs in book-entry form only. No certificated Temporary ADRs will be issued except for a “"Balance Certificate” " evidencing all Temporary ADSs held in DTC, which shall be substantially in the form of Temporary ADR set forth in Exhibit A hereto, except as may be necessary to identify and treat the Temporary ADSs as separate and distinct from any other ADSs issued under the terms of this Deposit Agreement. The Depositary shall make arrangements for the acceptance of such Temporary ADSs into DTC upon the terms set forth in Section 2.2(d) hereof. The Temporary ADSs and the Temporary ADRs evidenced thereby are identical to and confer all of the rights and obligations set forth herein relating to Receipts and ADSs represented thereby except that (i) in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations of the Republic of China, Holders of Temporary ADRs will have no right to withdraw the Deposited Securities represented by their Temporary ADSs, (ii) Temporary ADRs shall bear separate CUSIP numbers that shall be different from any CUSIP number that is or may be assigned to the other ADSs issued hereunder, (iii) neither Temporary ADSs nor interests in any Certificate of Payment shall be eligible for any Pre-Cancellation Sale Transactions or Pre-Release Transactions described in Section 5.10 hereof and (iv) in the event that the Company makes any distributions upon Deposited Securities upon the terms of Article IV of this Deposit Agreement, the Depositary shall make distributions to Holders of Temporary ADSs on the basis of the distribution(s) received from the Company in respect of the Certificate(s) of Payment corresponding to the series of Temporary ADSs held by such Holder. Nothing herein shall impose any obligation upon the Depositary to make any distributions to Holders of any series of Temporary ADSs on the same basis as Holders of Share ADSs or any other Series of Temporary ADSs issued hereunder. The Company undertakes to make Shares available in exchange for any specified Certificate of Payment, as soon as possible after the issuance of the Certificate of Payment and to provide timely notice thereof to the Depositary. Upon receipt of such notice from the Company, the Depositary shall instruct the Custodian to surrender any such Certificate of Payment then eligible for exchange to the Company against delivery of Shares to the Depositary in exchange therefor. Upon receipt by the Depositary of (i) notice of the exchange of Shares for such Certificate of Payment and (ii) confirmation from the Company that the Shares so received rank in all respects pari passu with the Deposited Securities evidenced by Share ADSs, the Depositary shall give notice thereof to the applicable Holders of Temporary ADSs and thereafter Temporary ADSs shall be eligible for exchange into Share ADSs. Interests in Temporary ADSs in DTC will be automatically exchanged for beneficial interests in Share ADSs as follows: with no further action by Holders, the Depositary shall instruct DTC to automatically transfer any position held by a DTC participant under the CUSIP number assigned to the Temporary ADSs to the CUSIP number assigned to the Share ADSs. Holders and Beneficial Owners of such Temporary ADSs shall thereafter be Holders and Beneficial Owners of Share ADSs issued hereunder and shall have all the rights and obligations specified in this Deposit Agreement and in the Receipts pertaining to Share ADSs. The Depositary will charge no fee for the cancellation of the Temporary ADSs and issuance of Share ADSs in exchange therefor. Notwithstanding anything in the Deposit Agreement to the contrary, the Depositary shall have no obligation to any party to exchange Temporary ADSs for Share ADSs as provided herein unless and until, upon delivery by the Depositary of the related Certificate of Payment, the Company shall have delivered Shares in respect thereof to the Depositary.
