W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Company and the Depositary executed the Deposit Agreement for the purposes set forth therein; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Deposit Agreement, the Company and the Depositary desire to amend the terms of the Deposit Agreement and ADRs.

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS

SECTION 1.01. Definitions. Unless otherwise defined in this Amendment, all capitalized terms used, but not otherwise defined, herein shall have the meaning given to such terms in the Deposit Agreement.

ARTICLE II

AMENDMENTS TO DEPOSIT AGREEMENT

SECTION 2.01. All references in the Deposit Agreement to the term "Deposit Agreement" shall, as of the date hereof, refer to the Deposit Agreement as amended by this Amendment.

SECTION 2.02. All references in the Deposit Agreement (including the form of Receipt) to “Pre-Release”, “Pre-Release Transactions” are deleted with the definition set forth in Section 1.28 of the Deposit Agreement being replaced with “Intentionally Omitted” with Section 5.10 of the Deposit Agreement being renamed “Depositary Ownership”, with the contents of said Section 5.10 being amended to read:

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.

X.X.Xxxxxx

SECTION 2.03. Section 4.7 of the Deposit Agreement is amended to read as follows:

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Deposit Agreement, to facilitate the administration of various depositary receipt transactions, including disbursement of dividends or other cash distributions and other corporate actions, and subject to any restrictions imposed by ROC law and regulations, including, without limitation, receipt of foreign exchange approval from the Central Bank of China for conversion of funds from and/or into NT dollars, the Depositary may engage the foreign exchange desk within JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”) and/or its affiliates in order to enter into spot foreign exchange transactions to convert foreign currency into U.S. dollars (“FX Transactions”). For certain currencies, FX Transactions are entered into with the Bank or an affiliate, as the case may be, acting in a principal capacity. For other currencies, FX Transactions are routed directly to and managed by an unaffiliated local custodian (or other third-party local liquidity provider), and neither the Bank nor any of its affiliates is a party to such FX Transactions.

The foreign exchange rate applied to an FX Transaction will be either (i) a published benchmark rate, or (ii) a rate determined by a third-party local liquidity provider, in each case plus or minus a spread, as applicable. The Depositary will disclose which foreign exchange rate and spread, if any, apply to such currency on the “Disclosures” page (or successor page) of xxx.xxx.xxx (as updated by the Depositary from time to time, “XXX.xxx”). Such applicable foreign exchange rate and spread may (and neither the Depositary, the Bank nor any of their affiliates is under any obligation to ensure that such rate does not) differ from rates and spreads at which comparable transactions are entered into with other customers or the range of foreign exchange rates and spreads at which the Bank or any of its affiliates enters into foreign exchange transactions in the relevant currency pair on the date of the FX Transaction. Additionally, the timing of execution of an FX Transaction varies according to local market dynamics, which may include regulatory requirements, market hours and liquidity in the foreign exchange market or other factors. Furthermore, the Bank and its affiliates may manage the associated risks of their position in the market in a manner they deem appropriate without regard to the impact of such activities on the Company, the Depositary, Holders or Beneficial Owners. The spread applied does not reflect any gains or losses that may be earned or incurred by the Bank and its affiliates as a result of risk management or other hedging related activity.

X.X.Xxxxxx

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Company provides U.S. dollars to the Depositary, neither the Bank nor any of its affiliates will execute an FX Transaction as set forth herein. In such case, the Depositary will distribute the U.S. dollars received from the Company.

SECTION 2.04. The address of the Depositary set forth in the second paragraph of Section 7.5 of the Deposit Agreement is amended to “JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 00, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx, 00000”. as follows:

ARTICLE III

FORM OF RECEIPT

The form of Receipt and the terms of all outstanding Receipts are amended to read as set forth in Exhibit A hereto, which gives effect to the amendments contained herein.

ARTICLE IV

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

SECTION 4.01. Representations and Warranties. The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Depositary, that:

DEPOSITED FULLY PAID COMMON SHARES

UNITED MICROELECTRONICS CORPORATION

(Incorporated under the laws of the Republic of China (the "ROC"))

JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., a national banking association organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, as depositary (the "Depositary"), hereby certifies that ___________________[CEDE & CO., as nominee of THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY (hereinafter ("DTC")] is the record owner of _______________________ American Depositary Shares (hereinafter each an "ADS"), representing deposited common shares, each of par value of NT$10, including evidence of rights to receive such common shares (the "Shares") of United Microelectronics Corporation, a corporation incorporated under the laws of the ROC (the "Company"). As of the date of the Deposit Agreement (as hereinafter defined), each ADS represents five Shares deposited under the Deposit Agreement with the Custodian, which at the date of execution of the Deposit Agreement is JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Taipei Branch, (the "Custodian"). The ratio of American Depositary Shares to Shares is subject to amendment as provided in Article IV of the Deposit Agreement. The Depositary's Principal Office is located at 383 Madison Avenue, Floor 11, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx, 00000, X.X.X.

(1) The Deposit Agreement. This American Depositary Receipt is one of an issue of American Depositary Receipts ("Receipts" or "ADRs"), all issued and to be issued upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Amended and Restated Deposit Agreement dated as of October 21, 2009 by and among the Company, the Depositary and all Holders and Beneficial Owners from time to time of American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") evidenced by ADRs, (as so amended and restated and as further amended and supplemented from time to time, the "Deposit Agreement"), with each Holder and Beneficial Owner from time to time of ADSs evidenced by ADRs, by accepting an ADS, becoming bound by all the terms and provisions thereof.

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 Receipts and Withdrawal and Sale of Deposited Securities.

(a) ROC Requirements. The Depositary and the Company have been advised that under current ROC law, a Holder who is a non-ROC person wishing to withdraw Deposited Securities from the ADR facility is required to appoint an eligible agent in the ROC for filing tax returns and making tax payments (a "Tax Guarantor"). 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.

X.X.Xxxxxx

(b) Sale of Deposited Securities. Upon surrender of ADSs 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 the Deposit Agreement and the Company's Articles of Incorporation, and the transfer restrictions applicable to the Deposited Securities, if any, Holders may request that the Deposited Securities represented by such Holders' ADSs be sold on such Holder's 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. The Depositary and the Company have been advised that under current ROC law, the Shares deposited in connection with the Offering may not be sold for a period of three months from the closing of the Offering. Any such sale of Deposited Securities will be at the expense and risk of the Holder requesting such sale. Any Holder requesting the Depositary to sell the Deposited Securities represented by such Holder's ADSs may be required to enter into a separate agreement to cover the terms of the sale of such Deposited Securities.

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 in the Deposit Agreement, convert or cause to be converted any such proceeds into Dollars and distribute any such proceeds to the Holders entitled thereto after deduction or payment of any fees, reasonable expenses, taxes or governmental charges (including, without limitation, any ROC and U.S. taxes) 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. The ROC does not, as of the date hereof, impose tax on capital gains arising from ROC securities transactions, but there can be no assurance that a capital gains tax on ROC securities transactions will not be imposed in the future or as to the manner in which any ROC capital gains tax in respect of a sale of Deposited Securities would be imposed or calculated.

Ltd., and to the terms and conditions of or governing the Deposited Securities, in each case as in effect at the time thereof.

The Depositary shall not accept for surrender ADSs representing less than a whole number of Deposited Securities. In the case of the Delivery of ADSs representing a number other than a whole number of Deposited Securities, the Depositary shall cause ownership of the appropriate whole number of Deposited Securities to be delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, and shall, at the discretion of the Depositary, either (i) return to the person surrendering such ADSs the number of ADSs representing any remaining fractional Deposited Securities, or (ii) sell or cause to be sold the fractional Deposited Securities represented by the ADS(s) so surrendered and remit the proceeds of such sale (net of (a) applicable fees and charges of, and expenses incurred by, the Depositary and (b) taxes withheld) to the person surrendering the ADSs.

(3) Transfer, Combination and Split-Up of Receipts.

(7) Liability of Holder for Taxes, Duties and Other Charges. If any tax or other governmental charge shall become payable by or on behalf of the Custodian or the Depositary with respect to any ADS(s) or American Depositary Receipt(s), any Deposited Securities or any distribution thereon, such tax or other governmental charge shall be paid by the Holders to the Depositary and by holding or having held an ADS or ADR the Holder and all prior Holders thereof agree to indemnify, defend and save harmless each of the Depositary and its agents in respect thereof. The Depositary may refuse to effect any registration, registration of transfer, split-up or combination hereof or, subject to the last sentence of paragraph (2), any withdrawal of such Deposited Securities until such payment is made. The Depositary may also deduct from any distributions on or in respect of Deposited Securities, or may sell by public or private sale for the account of the Holder hereof any part or all of such Deposited Securities (after attempting by reasonable means to notify the Holder hereof prior to such sale), and may apply such deduction or the proceeds of any such sale in payment of such tax or other governmental charge, the Holder hereof remaining liable for any deficiency, and shall reduce the number of ADSs evidenced hereby to reflect any such sales of Shares and shall distribute the net proceeds of any such sale or the balance of any such property after deduction of such tax or other governmental charge to the Holder hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will pay all stamp duties and other similar duties or taxes payable in the ROC, the United States of America and any other jurisdiction, on or in connection with the constitution and issue of the ADSs and the execution or other event concerning the Deposit Agreement. If any legal proceedings are taken to enforce the obligations of the Company under the Deposit Agreement or the ADSs (including the certificates evidencing such ADSs) and for the purpose of such proceedings any of them are required to be taken into or enforced in any jurisdiction and stamp duties or other similar duties or taxes become payable in connection with such proceedings in such jurisdiction, the Company will forthwith pay (or reimburse the person making a valid payment of) all such stamp duties and other similar duties and taxes, including penalties and interest (if any) unless otherwise ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction in such proceedings. The Depositary may sell any Deposited Securities and cancel ADSs with respect thereof in order to pay any such stamp duties or other similar duties or taxes owed hereunder by Holders without the Depositary being required to request payment thereof from Holders. In connection with any distribution to Holders, the Company will remit to the appropriate governmental authority or agency all amounts (if any) required to be withheld and owing to such authority or agency by the Company; and the Depositary and the Custodian will remit to the appropriate governmental authority or agency all amounts (if any) required to be withheld and owing to such authority or agency by the Depositary or the Custodian. If the Depositary determines that any distribution in property other than cash (including Shares or rights) on Deposited Securities is subject to any tax that the Depositary or the Custodian is obligated to withhold, the Depositary may dispose of all or a portion of such property in such amounts and in such manner as the Depositary deems necessary and practicable to pay such taxes, by public or private sale, and the Depositary shall distribute the net proceeds of any such sale or the balance of any such property after deduction of such taxes to the Holders entitled thereto. The Company shall, as soon as practicable after the due date for any payment to the government of the ROC of any tax or other governmental charge with respect to any distribution with respect to Deposited Securities, provide the Depositary with an official receipt from the ROC (or certified copies thereof) setting forth the amounts, if any, of tax or other government charge so paid to the government of the ROC. The Depositary shall provide a copy of such receipt, or other documentation, to the Holder of the ADRs evidencing such ADSs that are representing such Deposited Securities at the time of such distribution upon the request made by the Holder thereof to the Depositary. The Depositary shall elect to waive any and all deferral of income tax on Share Distributions received hereunder. Each Holder of an ADR or an interest therein agrees to indemnify the Depositary, the Company, the Custodian and any of their respective directors, employees, agents and affiliates against, and hold each of them harmless from, any claims by any governmental authority with respect to taxes, additions to tax, penalties or interest arising out of any refund of taxes, reduced rate of withholding at source or other tax benefit obtained.

[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 ROC, whenever the Depositary receives 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 hereof, the Depositary will, if at the time of receipt thereof any amounts received in a Foreign Currency can in the judgment of the Depositary be converted on a practicable basis into Dollars transferable to the United States, promptly convert or cause to be converted such cash dividend, distribution or proceeds into Dollars and will distribute promptly the amount thus received (net of (a) the 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 American Depositary Shares 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. Fractional cents will be withheld without liability and dealt with by the Depositary in accordance with its then current practices. 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 American Depositary Shares 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. Evidence of payment thereof by the Company shall be forwarded by the Company to the Depositary upon request.

Subject always to the laws and regulations of the ROC, 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 any of their nominees. Upon receipt of confirmation of such deposit from the Custodian, the Depositary shall establish the ADS Record Date upon the terms described in Section 4.8 of the Deposit Agreement and either (i) the Depositary shall, subject to Section 5.9 thereof, and the laws and regulations of the ROC, distribute to the Holders as of the ADS Record Date in proportion to the number of American Depositary Shares held as of the ADS Record Date, additional American Depositary Shares, which represent in the aggregate the number of Eligible Securities received as such dividend, or free distribution, subject to the other terms of the Deposit Agreement (including, without limitation, (a) the applicable fees and charges of, and reasonable expenses incurred by, the Depositary and (b) taxes), or (ii) if additional American Depositary Shares are not so distributed, each American Depositary Share issued and outstanding after the ADS Record Date shall, to the extent permissible by law, thenceforth also represent rights and interests in the additional integral number of Eligible Securities distributed upon the Deposited Securities represented thereby (subject to the laws and regulations of the ROC and net of (a) the applicable fees and charges of, and expenses incurred by, the Depositary and (b) taxes). In lieu of delivering fractional American Depositary Shares, the Depositary shall sell the number of Eligible Securities or American Depositary Shares, as the case may be, represented by the aggregate of such fractions and distribute the net proceeds upon the terms described in Section 4.1 of the Deposit Agreement. In the event that (x) 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, (y) if the Company, in the fulfillment of its obligation under Section 5.7 of 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), or (z) the deposit of Eligible Securities is not permitted under the laws or regulations of the ROC, 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 such (a) taxes and (b) fees and charges of, and reasonable expenses incurred by, the Depositary) to Holders entitled thereto upon the terms described in Section 4.1 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.

X.X.Xxxxxx

Subject always to the laws and regulations of the ROC, whenever the Company intends to distribute to the holders of the Deposited Securities rights to subscribe for additional Eligible Securities, the Company shall give timely notice thereof to the Depositary stating whether or not it wishes such rights to be made available to Holders of ADSs. Upon receipt of a notice indicating that the Company wishes such rights to be made available to Holders of ADSs, the Depositary shall consult with the Company to determine, and the Company shall assist the Depositary in its determination, whether it is lawful and reasonably practicable to make such rights available to the Holders. The Depositary shall make such rights available to Holders only if (i) the Company shall have requested that such rights be made available to Holders, (ii) the Depositary shall have received satisfactory documentation within the terms of Section 5.7 of 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, the Depositary shall proceed with the sale of the rights as contemplated in Section 4.3.2 of the Deposit Agreement. In the event all conditions set forth above are satisfied, the Depositary shall establish an ADS Record Date (upon the terms described in Section 4.8 of the Deposit Agreement) and establish procedures to distribute rights to purchase additional ADSs (by means of warrants or otherwise) and to enable the Holders to exercise such rights (upon payment of applicable (a) fees and charges of; and reasonable expenses incurred by, the Depositary and (b) taxes). The Company shall assist the Depositary to the extent necessary in establishing such procedures. Nothing herein shall obligate the Depositary to make available to the Holders a method to exercise rights to subscribe for Eligible Securities (rather than ADSs).

A-16

X.X.Xxxxxx

If (i) the Company does not request the Depositary to make the rights available to Holders or requests that the rights not be made available to Holders, (ii) the Depositary fails to receive satisfactory documentation within the terms of Section 5.7 of the Deposit Agreement or determines it is 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 or private sale) as it may deem practical. The Company shall assist the Depositary to the extent necessary to determine such legality and practicability. The Depositary shall, upon such sale, convert and distribute proceeds of such sale (net of applicable (a) fees and charges of, and reasonable expenses incurred by, the Depositary and (b) taxes) upon the terms set forth in Section 4.1 of the Deposit Agreement.

If the Depositary is unable to make any rights available to Holders upon the terms described in Section 4.3.1 of the Deposit Agreement or to arrange for the sale of the rights upon the terms described in Section 4.3.2 of the Deposit Agreement, 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 Holders on behalf of the Company in connection with the rights distribution.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4.3 of the Deposit Agreement, 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 unless and until a registration statement under the Securities Act (or other applicable law) covering such offering is in effect. 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 American Depositary Shares 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.

Because ROC law presently does not contemplate the issuance of rights in negotiable form and the possibility of such issuance is unlikely, a liquid market for rights may not exist, and this may adversely affect (1) the ability of the Depositary to dispose of such rights or (2) the amount the Depositary would realize upon disposal of rights.

A-17

X.X.Xxxxxx

There can be no assurance that Holders generally, or any Holder in particular, will be given the opportunity to receive or exercise rights on the same terms and conditions as the holders of Deposited Securities or be able to exercise such rights. Nothing herein 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.

Whenever the Company intends to distribute to the holders of Deposited Securities property other than cash, Eligible Securities or rights to purchase additional Eligible Securities, the Company shall give timely notice thereof to the Depositary and shall indicate whether or not it wishes such distribution to be made to Holders of ADSs. Upon receipt of a notice indicating that the Company wishes such distribution be made to Holders of ADSs, the Depositary shall consult with the Company, and the Company shall assist the Depositary, to 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 satisfactory documentation within the terms of Section 5.7 of the Deposit Agreement, and (iii) the Depositary shall have determined that such distribution is reasonably practicable.

Upon receipt of satisfactory documentation and the request of the Company to distribute property to Holders of ADSs and after making the requisite determinations set forth in the paragraph above, the Depositary shall distribute the property so received to the Holders of record, as of the ADS Record Date, in proportion to the number of ADSs held by them respectively 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 by 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 (i) the Company does not request the Depositary to make such distribution to Holders or requests the Depositary not to make such distribution to Holders, (ii) the Depositary does not receive satisfactory documentation within the terms of Section 5.7 of the Deposit Agreement, or (iii) the Depositary determines that all or a portion of such distribution is not reasonably practicable, 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 of Section 4.1 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. Subject always to the laws and regulations of the ROC and to the terms of Article IV of the Deposit Agreement, distributions in respect of Deposited Securities that are held by the Depositary in bearer form shall be made to the Depositary for the account of the respective Holders of Receipts with respect to which any such distribution is made upon due presentation by the Depositary or the Custodian to the Company of any relevant coupons, talons, or certificates. The Company shall promptly notify the Depositary of such distributions. The Depositary or the Custodian shall promptly present such coupons, talons or certificates, as the case may be, in connection with any such distribution.

The Depositary reserves the right to utilize a division, branch or affiliate of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. to direct, manage and/or execute any public and/or private sale of securities hereunder. Such division, branch and/or affiliate may charge the Depositary a fee in connection with such sales, which fee is considered an expense of the Depositary contemplated under the Deposit Agreement and under paragraph (10) hereof. Any Dollars available will be distributed by checks drawn on a bank in the United States for whole dollars and cents. All purchases and sales of securities will be handled by the Depositary in accordance with its then current policies, which are currently set forth in the "Depositary Receipt Sale and Purchase of Security" section of xxxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx/Xxxxxxxxx/XxxxXxxXxxxxXXx, the location and contents of which the Depositary, and not the Company, shall be solely responsible for.

(15) Redemption. If the Company intends to exercise any right of redemption in respect of any of the Deposited Securities, the Company shall give notice thereof to the Depositary at least 60 days prior to the intended date of redemption which notice shall set forth the particulars of the proposed redemption. Upon receipt of such (i) notice and (ii) satisfactory documentation given by the Company to the Depositary within the terms of Section 5.7 of the Deposit Agreement, and only if the Depositary shall have determined that such proposed redemption is practicable, the Depositary shall mail to each Holder a notice setting forth the intended exercise by the Company of the redemption rights and any other particulars set forth in the Company's notice to the Depositary. The Depositary shall instruct the Custodian to present to the Company the Deposited Securities in respect of which redemption rights are being exercised against payment of the applicable redemption price. Upon receipt of confirmation from the Custodian that the redemption has taken place and that funds representing the redemption price have been received, the Depositary shall convert, transfer, and distribute the proceeds (net of applicable (a) fees and charges of, and the reasonable expenses incurred by, the Depositary, and (b) taxes), retire ADSs and cancel ADRs upon delivery of such ADSs by Holders thereof and the terms set forth in Sections 4.1 and 6.2 of the Deposit Agreement. If less than all outstanding Deposited Securities are redeemed, the ADSs to be retired will be selected by lot or on a pro rata basis, as may be determined by the Depositary. The redemption price per ADS shall be the per share amount received by the Depositary upon the redemption of the Deposited Securities represented by American Depositary Shares (less the applicable fees and charges of, and expenses incurred by, the Depositary, and taxes) multiplied by the number of Deposited Securities represented by each ADS redeemed.

(16) 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 Eligible Securities that are represented by each American Depositary Share, or whenever the Depositary shall receive notice of any meeting of, or solicitation of consents or of instructions, 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 Eligible Securities represented by each American Depositary Share. 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). Subject to applicable law and the provisions of Section 4.1 through 4.7 of the Deposit Agreement and to the other terms and conditions of 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 distribution, to give such voting instructions, to receive such notice or solicitation, or otherwise take action.

(17) Voting of Deposited Securities.

(a) 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 be deemed, by acceptance of ADSs or acquisition of any beneficial interest therein, to have authorized and directed the Depositary, without liability, to appoint the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company (or his/her designate) (the "Voting Representative"), as representative of the Depositary, the Custodian or the nominee who is registered in the ROC as representative of the Holders in respect of the Deposited Securities (the "Registered Holder"), to vote the Shares or other Deposited Securities in accordance with the terms hereof.

A-20

X.X.Xxxxxx

The Company agrees to timely notify the Depositary of any proposed shareholders' meeting and to provide to the Depositary in New York, at least 24 calendar days before any shareholders' meeting, sufficient copies as the Depositary may reasonably request of English language translations 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 Section 4.8 of the Deposit Agreement) and shall, at the Company's expense and, provided 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 deliver the Shareholder Notice and the Depositary Notice to Holders for purposes of providing voting instructions in accordance herewith if the Company has failed to provide to the Depositary in New York the requisite number of Shareholder Notices at least 24 calendar days prior to the date of any shareholders' meeting but will use its reasonable endeavors to provide Holders with copies of such notices. Additionally, to the extent the Depositary fails to commence the distribution of the Shareholder Notice and Depositary Notice to Holders within ten New York business days of the date on which the Company has provided the Depositary with written approval of the Depositary Notice for a reason other than one contemplated under Section 5.2 of the Deposit Agreement, the Depositary will use its reasonable endeavors to provide Holders with copies of such notices. 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 instructions, of holders of Shares or other Deposited Securities if the taking of such action would violate U.S. laws.

(b) 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 directors and/or supervisors), the Depositary shall notify to and appoint the Voting Representative as the representative of the Depositary and the Registered Holder to attend such shareholders' meeting and vote all Deposited Securities evidenced by ADSs then outstanding (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 as representative of the Registered Holder.

(c) Management Instruction. 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 Section 4.9 of 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 to give a discretionary instruction (a "Management Instruction") to 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 he or she wishes, which may not be in the interests of the Holders. The Depositary will not itself exercise any voting discretion in respect of any Deposited Securities.

The Depositary's grant of a Management Instruction in the manner and 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 Management Instruction 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 4.9 of the Deposit Agreement and will not be subject to any potential liability under ROC law for losses arising from such voting. In the event the Depositary does not receive such opinion, the Depositary will not grant the Management Instruction but will cause the Deposited Securities to be present at the shareholders' meeting to the extent practicable and permitted by applicable law but will not cause the Deposited Securities to be voted or the Management Instruction to be granted.

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 4.9 of the Deposit Agreement. The terms of Section 4.9 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 Section 4.9 of the Deposit Agreement as so amended.

(d) There is no guarantee that Holders generally or any Holder in particular will receive the notice described above with sufficient time to enable such Holder to return any voting instructions to the Depositary in a timely manner. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Deposit Agreement or any ADR, the Depositary may, to the extent not prohibited by law, rule, regulation or the Company's constituent documents, or by the requirements of the stock exchange on which the ADSs are listed, in lieu of distribution of the materials provided to the Depositary in connection with any meeting of, or solicitation of consents or proxies from, holders of Deposited Securities, distribute to the Holders a notice that provides Holders with, or otherwise publicizes to Holders, instructions on how to retrieve such materials or receive such materials upon request (i.e., by reference to a website containing the materials for retrieval or a contact for requesting copies of the materials). Voting instructions will not be deemed received until such time as the Depositary has received such instructions in the manner and at the location specified in the voting instruction card prepared by the Depositary for such meeting.

(22) 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 prejudice any substantial existing right of Holders or Beneficial Owners, shall not, however, become effective as to this Receipt until the expiration of 30 days after notice of such amendment or supplement shall have been given to the Holders of this Receipt. 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 so 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 or regulatory body should adopt new laws, rules or regulations which would require amendment or supplement of the Deposit Agreement or the form of Receipt to ensure compliance therewith, the Company and the Depositary may amend or supplement the Deposit Agreement and the Receipts 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. Notice of any amendment to the Deposit Agreement or form of Receipts shall not need to describe in detail the specific amendments effectuated thereby, and failure to describe the specific amendments in any such notice shall not render such notice invalid, provided, however, that, in each such case, the notice given to the Holders identifies a means for Holders to retrieve or receive the text of such amendment (i.e., upon retrieval from the Securities and Exchange Commission's, the Depositary's or the Company's website or upon request from the Depositary).

At any time after the expiration of six 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).

As the holder of the Deposited Securities, the Depositary or its nominee is entitled, provided the conditions of ROC law are satisfied, to submit only one (1) Proposal each year in respect of all of the Shares held on deposit as of the applicable Shareholder Proposal Record Date. Holders and Beneficial Owners of ADSs do not under ROC law have individual rights to submit Proposals to the Company for consideration at the annual ordinary meeting of the Company's shareholders but may be able to submit Proposals to the Company for consideration at the annual ordinary meeting of the Company's shareholders if the Beneficial Owners (i) timely present their ADSs to the Depositary for cancellation pursuant to the terms of the Deposit Agreement and become holders of Shares in the ROC prior to the expiration of the Submission Period and prior to the applicable Shareholder Proposal Record Date, and (ii) otherwise satisfy the conditions of ROC law applicable to the submission of Proposals to the Company for consideration at an annual ordinary meeting of the Company's shareholders. 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. In addition, the Company has no obligation to give notice of noncompliance and/or opportunity to cure for any Proposal which fails to satisfy the requirements and conditions of the ROC laws.

In the event the Depositary receives more than one (1) Proposal by a Submitting Holder, or a group of Submitting Holders, each of which appears to satisfy the requirements set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph, the Depositary is hereby authorized and instructed to disregard all Proposals, except for the first Proposal, received by the Depositary from such Submitting Holder(s) and shall submit only the first of such Proposals to the Company for consideration at the annual ordinary meeting of the Company's shareholders in accordance with the terms of the Deposit Agreement.
