This American Depositary Receipt is one of an issue (herein called the "Receipts"), executed and delivered pursuant to the Amended and Restated Deposit Agreement, dated as of June 7, 2002 (the "Amended and Restated Deposit Agreement"), as amended, by and among the Company, the Depositary and all Holders and Beneficial Owners from time to time of Receipts issued thereunder, each of whom by accepting a Receipt agrees to become a party thereto and becomes bound by all the terms and provisions thereof. The Deposit Agreement sets forth the rights and obligations of Holders and Beneficial Owners and the rights and duties of the Depositary in respect of the Shares deposited thereunder and any and all other securities, property and cash from time to time received in respect of such Shares and held thereunder (such Shares, securities, property and cash are herein called "Deposited Property"). Copies of the Deposit Agreement are on file at the Principal Office of the Depositary. The statements made on the face and the reverse of this Receipt are summaries of certain provisions of the Deposit Agreement and the Company's Articles of Association (as in effect on the date of the Deposit Agreement) and are qualified by and subject to the detailed provisions of the Deposit Agreement, to which reference is hereby made. All capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the same meaning as in the Deposit Agreement. The Depositary makes no representation or warranty as to the validity or worth of the Deposited Property.
 
(2)            Surrender of Receipts and Withdrawal of Deposited Property . Upon surrender at the Principal Office of the Depositary of a Receipt for the purpose of withdrawal of the Deposited Property represented thereby, and upon payment of (i) the charges of the Depositary for the making of withdrawals and cancellation of Receipts (as set forth in Article (10) hereof and Section 5.9 and Annex B of the Deposit Agreement) and (ii) all fees, taxes and governmental charges payable in connection with such surrender and withdrawal, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement, the Company's Articles of Association, Article (25) of this Receipt and the provisions of or governing the Deposited Property and other applicable laws, the Holder hereof shall be entitled to delivery, to him or upon his order, of the Deposited Property at the time represented by this Receipt. Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, such Deposited Property may be delivered in registered form or by electronic delivery.

Notwithstanding any provision of the Deposit Agreement or the Receipts to the contrary, the surrender of outstanding Receipts and withdrawal of Deposited Property may not be suspended or refused, except as permitted in General Instruction I.A.(1) to Form F-6 (as such instruction may be amended from time to time) under the Securities Act in connection with (i) temporary delays caused by the closing of the transfer books of the Depositary or the Company (or the Share Registrar) or the deposit of Shares in connection with voting at a shareholders' meeting, or the payment of dividends, (ii) the payment of fees, taxes and similar charges and (iii) compliance with any U.S. or foreign laws or governmental regulations relating to the Receipts or to the withdrawal of the Deposited Property.

(7)            Liability of Holder For Taxes, Duties and Other Charges; Withholding .

SUMMARY OF CERTAIN ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
OF THE DEPOSIT AGREEMENT
 
(14)            Reports; Inspection of Transfer Books . The Depositary will make available for inspection during business hours by Holders at its Principal Office and at the principal office of each Custodian copies of the Deposit Agreement, any notices, reports or communications received from the Company, which are both (a) received by the Depositary, the Custodian or the nominee of either, as the holder of the Deposited Property, and (b) made generally available to the holders of such Deposited Property by the Company. The Depositary will also send to Holders copies of such notices, reports and communications when furnished by the Company to the Depositary as provided in the Deposit Agreement. The Depositary will keep books for the registration of Receipts and their transfer which at all reasonable times will be open for inspection by the Company and Holders; provided that such inspection shall not be for the purpose of communicating with Holders in the interest of a business or object other than the business of the Company or a matter related to the Deposit Agreement, Receipts or Shares. Subject to Article (24) hereof, the Depositary may close the transfer books, at any time or from time to time, when deemed expedient by it in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder.
 
(15)            Dividends and Distributions; Rights . Whenever the Depositary receives confirmation from the Custodian of receipt of any cash dividend or other cash distribution on any Deposited Property, the Depositary shall as to any distribution in a foreign currency, subject to the provisions of Section 4.7 of the Deposit Agreement, promptly convert such dividend or distribution into dollars and distribute such amount to the Holders entitled thereto in proportion to the number of American Depositary Shares representing such Deposited Property held by them respectively without liability for interest thereon, after deduction or upon payment of the fees, if any, and expenses of the Depositary; provided, however, that the Depositary (i) shall make appropriate adjustments in the amounts so distributed in respect of any such Deposited Property being not entitled, by reason of date of issuance or otherwise, to receive all or any portion of such distribution and (ii) in the event that the Company, the Depositary or the Custodian shall be required to withhold and does withhold from any cash dividend or other cash distribution in respect of any Deposited Property an amount on account of taxes or other governmental charges, the amount distributed to the Holders on the American Depositary Shares representing such Deposited Property shall be reduced accordingly. Holders and Beneficial Owners understand that in converting foreign currency, amounts received on conversion are calculated at a rate which exceeds four decimal places (the number of decimal places used by the Depositary to report distribution rates). The excess amount may be retained by the Depositary as an additional cost of conversion, irrespective of any other fees and expenses payable or owing hereunder and shall not be subject to escheatment.
 
 
A-9

 
 
If any distribution upon any Deposited Property consists of a dividend in, or free distribution of, Shares, the Depositary may, subject to Section 5.7 of the Deposit Agreement, and shall, if the Company shall so request, (i) instruct the Company to deposit or cause such Shares to be deposited with and registered in the name of the Custodian and (ii) distribute to the Holders entitled thereto, as of the record date fixed pursuant to Section 4.8 of the Deposit Agreement, in proportion to the number of American Depositary Shares representing such Deposited Property held by them respectively, additional Receipts for American Depositary Shares, which represent in aggregate the number of Shares received as such dividend, or free distribution, subject to the terms of the Deposit Agreement. In lieu of delivering Receipts for fractional American Depositary Shares in any such case, the Depositary shall sell the number of Shares represented by the aggregate of such fractions and distribute the net proceeds, all in the manner and subject to the conditions described in Section 4.2 of the Deposit Agreement. If additional Receipts are not so distributed, each American Depositary Share shall thenceforth also represent the additional Shares distributed upon the Deposited Property represented thereby.
 
In the event that the Depositary determines that any distribution in property (including Shares) is subject to any tax or other governmental charges which the Depositary is obligated to withhold, or, if the Company, in the fulfillment of its obligations under the Deposit Agreement, has furnished an opinion of U.S. counsel determining that Shares 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), the Depositary may dispose of all or a portion of such property (including Shares 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 taxes and fees and charges of, and expenses incurred by, the Depositary) to Holders entitled thereto upon the terms 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.
 
In the event that the Company shall offer or cause to be offered to the holders of any Deposited Property any rights to subscribe for additional Shares or any rights of any other nature, the Depositary may, after consultation with the Company to the extent practicable, and, if requested in writing by the Company, shall, take action, subject to the terms of the Deposit Agreement, as follows:
 
 
(1)
if at any time of the offering of any rights, the Depositary determines, after obtaining, at the Company's expense, opinion(s) of United States and Luxembourg counsel, as applicable, reasonably satisfactory to the Depositary, in its discretion that it is lawful and feasible to make such rights available to all or certain Holders or Beneficial Owners but not to others, by means of warrants or otherwise, the Depositary may distribute warrants or other instruments therefor in such form as it may determine, to the Holders entitled thereto, in proportion to the number of American Depositary Shares representing such Deposited Property held by them respectively, or employ such other method as it may deem feasible after obtaining opinion(s) of United States and Luxembourg counsel, as applicable, reasonably satisfactory to the Depositary in order to facilitate the exercise, sale or transfer of rights of such Holders or Beneficial Owners; or
 
 
A-10

 
 
 
(2)
if at the time of the offering of any rights, the Depositary determines in its discretion after obtaining, at the Company's expense, opinion(s) of United States and Luxembourg counsel, as applicable, reasonably satisfactory to the Depositary, that it is not lawful or not feasible to make such rights available to certain Holders or Beneficial Owners by means of warrants or otherwise, or if the rights represented by such warrants or such other instruments are not exercised and appear to be about to lapse, the Depositary may, in its discretion, sell such rights or such warrants or other instruments at public or private sale, in a risk less principal capacity, at such place or places and upon such terms as it may deem proper, and allocate the proceeds of such sales for the account of the Holders otherwise entitled to such rights, warrants or other instruments upon an averaged or other practicable basis without regard to any distinctions among such Holders because of exchange restrictions or the date of delivery of any Receipt or Receipts, or otherwise, and distribute such net proceeds so allocated to the extent practicable as in the case of a distribution of cash pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Deposit Agreement. The Depositary shall not be responsible for (i) any failure to determine that it may be lawful or feasible to make such rights available to Holders in general or any Holder or Holders in particular, (ii) any foreign exchange exposure or loss incurred in connection with such sale, (iii) any liability to the purchaser of such rights, warrants or other instruments or (iv) the content of any materials forwarded to the Holders on behalf of the Company in connection with the rights distribution.
 
If the Depositary does not receive such written request from the Company, the Depositary shall, after consultation with the Company to the extent practicable, and after obtaining opinion(s) of United States and Luxembourg counsel, as applicable, reasonably satisfactory to the Depositary, have discretion as to the procedure to be followed (i) in making such rights available to the Holders, or (ii) in disposing of such rights on behalf of such Holders and distributing the net proceeds available in dollars to such Holders as in the case of a distribution of cash pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Deposit Agreement, or (iii) in allowing such rights to lapse in the event such rights may not be made available to Holders or be disposed of and the net proceeds thereof made available to Holders.
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article (15) if registration (under the Securities Act or any other applicable law) of 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 offer such rights to the Holders (i) unless and until a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such offering is in effect, or (ii) unless the Company furnishes the Depositary opinion(s) of counsel for the Company in the United States and counsel to the Company in any other applicable jurisdiction in which rights would be distributed, satisfactory to the Depositary or other evidence satisfactory to the Depositary to the effect that the offering and sale of such securities to the Holders of such Receipts are exempt from or do not require registration under the provisions of the Securities Act or any other applicable laws.
 
 
A-11

 
 
Whenever the Depositary or the Custodian shall receive any distribution other than cash, Shares or rights upon any Deposited Property, the Depositary shall, after consultation with the Company to the extent practicable, and upon receipt, at the Company's expense, of opinion(s) of United States and Luxembourg counsel, as applicable, satisfactory to the Depositary that the proposed distribution does not violate any applicable laws or regulations, cause the securities or property so received to be distributed to the Holders entitled thereto, as of a record date fixed pursuant to Section 4.8 of the Deposit Agreement, in proportion to the number of American Depositary Shares representing such Deposited Property held by them respectively, in any manner that the Depositary may deem equitable and practicable for accomplishing such distribution, net of applicable fees and charges of, and expenses of the Depositary; provided, however, that, if in the opinion of the Depositary or its counsel, it cannot cause such securities or property to be distributed or such distribution cannot be made proportionately among the Holders entitled thereto, or if for any other reason (including without limitation any requirement (i) that the Company, the Depositary or the Custodian withhold an amount on account of taxes or other governmental charges or (ii) that under applicable securities or exchange control regulations or law such securities must be registered under the Securities Act or other law in order to be distributed to Holders), the Depositary deems all or any portion of such distribution not to be feasible, the Depositary may obtain opinion(s) of United States and Luxembourg counsel, as applicable, as to an equitable and practicable method of effecting such distribution and may rely on such advice, which method shall include but not be limited to the sale (at public or private sale) of the securities or property thus received, or any part thereto, and the distribution of the net proceeds of any such sale (net of taxes, fees and expenses of the Depositary set forth in Section 5.9 of and Annex B to the Deposit Agreement) by the Depositary to the Holders entitled thereto as in the case of a distribution received in cash.
 
(16)            Record Dates . Whenever the Depositary shall receive notice of the fixing of a record date by the Company for the determination of holders of Deposited Property entitled to receive any cash dividend or other cash distribution or any distribution other than cash, or any rights to be issued, or whenever for any reason the Depositary causes a change in the number of Shares that are represented by each American Depositary Share with respect to the Deposited Property, 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, after consultation with the Company to the extent practicable, fix a record date for the determination of the Holders who shall be entitled to receive such dividend, distribution, rights or the net proceeds of the sale thereof, or to give instructions for the exercise of voting rights at any such meeting, or to give or withhold such consent, or to receive such notice or solicitation or to otherwise take action, or whose Receipts shall evidence such changed number of Shares, subject to the provisions of the Deposit Agreement. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.2 through 4.7 of the Deposit Agreement and to the other terms and conditions of this Receipt and the Deposit Agreement, only the Holders of Receipts at the close of business on such record date shall be entitled to receive the amount distributable by the Depositary with respect to such dividend or other distribution or such rights or the net proceeds of sale thereof in proportion to the number of American Depositary Shares held by them respectively, or to give such voting instructions, to receive such notice or solicitation, or otherwise take action.

(17)            Voting of Deposited Property . As soon as practicable after receipt of notice of any meeting at which the holders of Shares are entitled to vote, or of solicitation of consents or proxies from holders of Shares or other Deposited Property, the Depositary shall fix a record date in respect of such meeting for the giving of instructions for voting or such consent or proxy. The Depositary shall, if requested in writing in a timely manner (which notice shall have been received by the Depositary at least 20 days prior to such vote or meeting or the Depositary shall have no obligation to so notify Holders hereunder) by the Company and at the Company's expense, mail to Holders (a) such notice of meeting or a summary of such information as is contained in such notice of meeting, (b) a statement that the Holders at the close of business on the specified record date will be entitled, subject to any applicable law, the Company's Articles of Association and the provisions of or governing Deposited Property (which provisions, if any, shall be summarized in pertinent part by the Company), to instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights-, if any, pertaining to the Shares or other Deposited Property represented by American Depositary Shares and (c) a brief statement as to the manner in which such instructions may be given. Voting instructions may be given only in respect of a number of American Depositary Shares representing an integral number of Shares or other Deposited Property. Upon the written request of a Holder of American Depositary Shares evidenced by a Receipt on such record date received on or before the date established by the Depositary for such purpose, the Depositary shall endeavor, insofar as practicable and permitted under applicable law and the provisions of the Articles of Association and the provisions of the Deposited Property, to vote or cause the Custodian to vote the Shares and/or other Deposited Property in person or by proxy represented by American Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt in accordance with the instructions set forth in such request.
 
Neither the Depositary nor the Custodian shall under any circumstances exercise any discretion as to voting and neither the Depositary nor the Custodian shall vote or attempt to exercise the right to vote Shares or other Deposited Property represented by American Depositary Shares except pursuant to and in accordance with such written instructions from Holders. Shares or other Deposited Property represented by American Depositary Shares for which no specific voting instructions are-received by the Depositary from the Holder shall not be voted.
 
(18)            Changes Affecting Deposited Property . Upon any change in nominal or par value, split-up, cancellation, consolidation or any other reclassification of Deposited Property, or upon any recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale of assets affecting the Company or to which it is a party, any securities which shall be received by the Depositary or a Custodian in exchange for, or in conversion of or replacement or otherwise in respect of, such Deposited Property shall be treated as new Deposited Property under the Deposit Agreement, and the American Depositary Shares representing or previously representing such Deposited Property shall, subject to the Deposit Agreement and applicable law, thenceforth represent the right to receive such additional securities. Alternatively, the Depositary may, with the Company's approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and shall, if the Company shall so request, subject to the terms of the Deposit Agreement and receipt of an opinion of the Company's counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Depositary that such distributions are not in violation of any applicable laws or regulations, execute and deliver additional Receipts as in the case of a stock dividend on the Shares, or call for the surrender of outstanding Receipts to be exchanged for new Receipts, in either case, as well as in the event of newly deposited Shares, with necessary modifications to the form of Receipt contained in this Annex A to the Deposit Agreement, specifically describing such new Deposited Property or corporate change. The Company agrees to, jointly with the Depositary, amend the Registration Statement on Form F-6 as filed with the Commission to permit the issuance of such new form of Receipts.
 
 
A-13

 
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any security so received may not be lawfully distributed to some or all Holders, the Depositary may, with the Company's approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and shall if the Company requests, subject to receipt of an opinion of the Company's counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Depositary that such action is not in violation of any applicable laws or regulations, sell such securities at public or private sale, at such place or places and upon such terms as it may deem proper and may allocate the net proceeds of such sales for the account of the Holders otherwise entitled to such securities upon an averaged or other practicable basis without regard to any distinctions among such Holders and distribute the net proceeds so allocated to the extent practicable as in the case of a distribution received in cash pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Deposit Agreement. The Depositary shall not be liable for (i) any failure to determine that it may be lawful or feasible to make such securities available to Holders in general or any Holders in particular, (ii) any foreign exchange exposure or loss incurred in connection with such sale, or (iii) any liability to the purchaser of such securities.
 
(19)            Indemnification . The Company agrees to indemnify the Depositary, the Custodian and any of their respective directors, employees, agents and Affiliates against, and hold each of them harmless from, any loss, liability, tax, charge or expense of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that may arise (a) out of or in connection with any offer, issuance, sale, resale, transfer, deposit or withdrawal of Receipts, American Depositary Shares, or other Deposited Property, as the case may be, or any offering documents in respect thereof or (b) out of acts performed or omitted, including but not limited to any delivery by the Depositary on behalf of the Company of information regarding the Company, in connection with the Deposit Agreement, the Receipts, the American Depositary Shares or any Deposited Property, as the same may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, in any such case (i) by the Depositary, the Custodian or any of their respective directors, employees, agents and Affiliates, except to the extent such loss, liability, tax, charge or expense is due to negligence or bad faith of any of them, or (ii) by the Company or any of its directors, employees, agents and Affiliates.
 
The Depositary agrees to indemnify the Company and its directors, employees, agents and Affiliates and hold them harmless from any liability or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) which may arise out of acts performed or omitted, including, but not limited to, any delivery by the Depositary on behalf of the Company of information regarding the Company, in connection with the Deposit Agreement, the Receipts, the American Depositary Shares or any Deposited Property, as the same may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time by the Depositary due to the negligence or bad faith of the Depositary. The obligations set forth in this Article (19) shall survive the termination of the Deposit Agreement and the succession or substitution of any party thereto.
 
Any person seeking indemnification hereunder (an "indemnified person") shall notify the person from whom it is seeking indemnification (the "indemnifying person") of the commencement of any indemnifiable action or claim promptly after such indemnified person becomes aware of such commencement (provided that the failure to make such notification shall not affect such indemnified person's rights to seek indemnification except to the extent the indemnifying person is materially prejudiced by such failure) and shall consult in good faith with the indemnifying person as to the conduct of the defense of such action or claim, which defense shall be reasonable in the circumstances. No indemnified person shall compromise or settle any action or claim without the consent of the indemnifying person, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(20)            Liability of the Company and Depositary . Neither the Depositary nor the Company nor any of their respective directors, employees, agents or Affiliates shall incur any liability to any Holder, Beneficial Owner or any other person, if, by reason of any provision of any present or future law or regulation of the United States, Luxembourg or any other jurisdiction, or of any other governmental authority or regulatory authority or stock exchange, or by reason of any provision, present or future, of the Articles of Association of the Company or the provisions of or governing any Deposited Property, or by reason of any act of God or war or other circumstances beyond its control, the Depositary or its agents or the Company or its agents shall be prevented or forbidden from or subjected to any civil or criminal penalty or restraint on account of, or delayed in, doing or performing any act or thing which by the terms of the Deposit Agreement it is provided shall be done or performed; nor shall the Depositary or its agents or the Company or its agents incur any liability to any Holder, Beneficial Owner or other person by reason of any non-performance or delay, caused as aforesaid, in performance of any act or thing which by the terms of the Deposit Agreement it is provided shall or may be done or performed, or by reason of any exercise of, or failure to exercise, any discretion provided for in the Deposit Agreement or in the Articles of Association of the Company or the provisions of or governing any Deposited Property. Where, by the terms of a distribution pursuant to Sections 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4 of the Deposit Agreement, or an offering or distribution pursuant to Sections 4.5, 4.10 or 5.7 of the Deposit Agreement or any provision of the Company's Articles of Association or for any other reason, such distribution or offering may not be made available to Holders, or some of them and the Depositary may not dispose of such distribution or offering on behalf of such Holders and make the net proceeds available to such Holders, then the Depositary shall not make such distribution or offering, and shall allow any such rights, if applicable, to lapse.
 
None of the Company or its agents assumes any obligation or shall be subject to any liability under the Deposit Agreement or the Receipts to Holders, Beneficial Owners or other persons, except that each of the Company and its agents agrees to perform its obligations specifically set forth in the Deposit Agreement without negligence or bad faith and using its reasonable judgment, without any liability on the part of the Company or the Depositary to any Holder or Beneficial Owner. None of the Depositary or its agents assumes any obligation or shall be subject to any liability under the Deposit Agreement or the Receipts to Holders, Beneficial Owners or other persons (including, without limitation, liability with respect to the validity or worth of the Deposited Property), except that each of the Depositary and its agents agrees to perform its obligations specifically set forth in the Deposit Agreement without negligence or bad faith. Subject to Article (25), the Depositary undertakes (i) not to issue any Receipt other than to evidence American Depositary Shares representing Deposited Property then on deposit with the Custodian and (ii) not to lend Deposited Property held by it as Depositary.
 
 
A-15

 
 
Without limitation of the foregoing, neither the Depositary, nor any of its controlling persons or agents, nor the Company nor any of its agents shall be (a) under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any action, suit or other proceeding in respect of any Deposited Property or in respect of the Receipts, which in its opinion may involve it in expense or liability, unless indemnity satisfactory to it against all expense (including fees and disbursements of counsel) and liability be furnished as often as may be required (and no Custodian shall be under any obligation whatsoever with respect to such proceedings, the responsibility of the Custodian being solely to the Depositary), or (b) liable for any action or inaction by it in reliance upon the advice of or information from legal counsel, accountants, any person presenting Shares for deposit, any Holder, or any other person believed by it in good faith to be competent to give such advice or information. The Depositary shall not incur any liability for any failure to determine that any distribution or action may be lawful or reasonably practicable, for the content of any information submitted to it by the Company for distribution to the Holders or for any inaccuracy of any translation thereof, for any investment risk associated with acquiring an interest in the Deposited Property, for the validity or worth of the Deposited Property or for any tax consequences that may result from the ownership of ADSs, Shares or Deposited Property, for the credit-worthiness of any third party, for allowing any rights to lapse upon the terms of the Deposit Agreement or for the failure or timeliness of any notice from the Company. The Depositary, its controlling persons, its agents, any Custodian and the Company, its controlling persons and its agents may rely and shall be protected in acting upon any written notice, request or other document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.
 
The Depositary and its agents shall not be responsible for any failure to carry out any instructions to vote any of the Deposited Property, or for the manner in which any vote is cast or the effect of any vote, provided that any such action or omission is in good faith and in accordance with the terms of the Deposit Agreement. No disclaimer of liability under the Securities Act is intended by any provision of the Deposit Agreement.
 
(21)            Resignation And Removal of Depositary; Substitution of Custodian . The Depositary may at any time resign as Depositary hereunder by written notice of its election so to do delivered to the Company, such resignation to take effect upon the earlier of the 60th day after such delivery or the appointment of a successor depositary and its acceptance of such appointment as provided in the Deposit Agreement. The Depositary may at any time be removed by the Company by written notice of such removal, effective upon the earlier of the 60th day after delivery thereof to the Depositary and the appointment of a successor depositary and its acceptance of such appointment as provided in the Deposit Agreement. Whenever the Depositary in its discretion determines that it is in the best interest of the Holders of Receipts to do so, it may appoint a substitute or additional Custodian or Custodians.
 
 
A-16

 
 
(22)            Amendment of Deposit Agreement and Receipts . The form of the Receipts and any provisions of the Deposit Agreement may at any time and from time to time be amended by written agreement between the Company and the Depositary in any respect which they may deem necessary or desirable without the consent of the Holders or Beneficial Owners. Any amendment which shall impose or increase any fees or charges (other than the charges of the Depositary for deposits, the execution and delivery of Receipts, custody, transfer and registration fees, fees in connection with foreign exchange control regulations, and taxes and other governmental charges, delivery and such other expenses), or which shall otherwise materially 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 shall have been given to the Holders of outstanding Receipts. The parties hereto agree that any amendments which (i) are reasonably necessary (as agreed by the company and the Depositary) in order for (a) the American Depositary Shares to be registered on Form F-6 under the Securities Act or (b) the American Depositary Shares or Shares 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 so becomes effective shall be deemed, by continuing to hold such Receipt, to consent and agree to such amendment and to be bound by the Deposit Agreement as amended thereby. In no event shall any amendment impair the right of the Holder to surrender such Receipt and receive therefor the Deposited Property 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 amendment of the Deposit Agreement to ensure compliance therewith, the Company and the Depositary may amend the Deposit Agreement and the Receipt at any time in accordance with such changed rules. Such amendment or supplement to the Deposit Agreement in such circumstances may become effective before a notice of such amendment is given to Holders or within any other period of time as required for compliance.
 
(23)            Termination of Deposit Agreement . The Depositary shall, at any time at the written direction of the Company, terminate the Deposit Agreement by mailing notice of such termination to the Holders of all Receipts then outstanding at least 30 days prior to the date fixed in such notice for such termination. If 60 days shall have expired after (i) the Depositary shall have delivered to the Company a written notice of its election to resign, or (ii) the Company shall have delivered to the Depositary a written notice of the removal of the Depositary, and in either case a successor depositary shall not have been appointed and accepted its appointment as provided in Article (21) hereof and Section 5.4 of the Deposit Agreement, the Depositary may terminate the Deposit Agreement by mailing notice of such termination to the Holders of all Receipts then outstanding at least 30 days prior to the date fixed for such termination. On and after the date of termination, the Holder will, upon surrender of such Receipt at the Principal Office of the Depositary, upon the payment of the charges of the Depositary for the surrender of Receipts referred to in Article (2) hereof and Section 2.5 of the Deposit Agreement and subject to the conditions and restrictions therein set forth, and upon payment of any applicable taxes or governmental charges, be entitled to delivery, to him or upon his order, of the amount of Deposited Property represented by such Receipt. If any Receipts shall remain outstanding after the date of termination of the Deposit Agreement, the Registrar thereafter shall discontinue the registration of transfers of Receipts, and the Depositary shall suspend the distribution of dividends to the Holders thereof, and shall not give any further notices or perform any further acts under the Deposit Agreement except that the Depositary shall continue to collect dividends and other distributions pertaining to Deposited Property, shall sell rights as provided in the Deposit Agreement, and shall continue to deliver Deposited Property, subject to the conditions and restrictions set forth in Section 2.5 of the Deposit Agreement, together with any dividends or other distributions received with respect thereto and the net proceeds of the sale of any rights or other property, in exchange for Receipts surrendered to the Depositary (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). At any time after the expiration of six months from the date of termination, the Depositary may sell the Deposited Property 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 escrow account, without liability for interest, for the pro rata benefit of the Holders of receipts whose Receipts have not theretofore been surrendered. After making such sale, the Depositary shall be discharged from all obligations under the Deposit Agreement with respect to the Receipts and the Shares, Deposited Property and American Depositary Shares, 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). Upon the termination of the Deposit Agreement, the Company shall be discharged from all obligations under the Deposit Agreement, except for its obligations to the Depositary under Articles (10) and (19) hereof, and Sections 5.8 and 5.9 of the Deposit Agreement.
 
 
A-17

 
 
(24)            Compliance With U.S. Securities Laws . Notwithstanding anything in the Deposit Agreement to the contrary, the Company and the Depositary each agrees that it will not exercise any rights it has under the Deposit Agreement to prevent the withdrawal or delivery of Deposited Property in a manner which would violate the United States securities laws, including, but not limited to, Instruction I.A.(l) of the General Instructions to Form F-6 Registration Statement, as amended from time to time, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
 
(25)            Certain Rights of the Depositary; Limitations . Subject to the further terms and provisions of this Article (25), the Depositary and its agents, on their own behalf, may own and deal in any class of securities of the Company and its affiliates and in Receipts. The Depositary may issue Receipts against evidence of rights to receive Shares from the Company, any agent of the Company or any custodian, registrar, transfer agent, clearing agency or other entity involved in ownership or transaction records in respect of the Shares. Such evidence of rights shall consist of written blanket or specific guarantees of ownership of Shares furnished on behalf of the holder thereof. In its capacity as Depositary, the Depositary shall not lend Shares or Receipts; provided, however, that the Depositary may (i) issue Receipts prior to the receipt of Shares pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Deposit Agreement and (ii) deliver Shares prior to the receipt and cancellation of Receipts pursuant to Section 2.5 of the Deposit Agreement, including Receipts which were issued under (i) above but for which Shares may not have been received (each such transaction a "Pre-Release Transaction"). The Depositary may receive Receipts in lieu of Shares under (i) above and receive Shares in lieu of Receipts under (ii) above. Each such Pre-Release Transaction will be (a) accompanied by or subject to a written agreement whereby the applicant to whom Receipts or Shares are to be delivered (the "Applicant") (w) represents that at the time of the Pre-Release Transaction the Applicant or its customer owns the Shares or Receipts that are to be delivered by the Applicant under such Pre-Release Transaction, (x) agrees to indicate the Depositary as owner of such Shares or Receipts in its records and to hold such Shares or Receipts in trust for the Depositary until such Shares or Receipts are delivered to the Depositary or the Custodian, (y) unconditionally guarantees to deliver to the Depositary or the Custodian, as applicable, such Shares or Receipts and (z) agrees to any additional restrictions or requirements that the Depositary deems appropriate, (b) at all times fully collateralized with cash, United States government securities or such other collateral as the Depositary deems appropriate, (c) terminable by the Depositary on not more than five (5) business days notice and (d) subject to such further indemnities and credit regulations as the Depositary deems appropriate. The Depositary will normally limit the number of Receipts and Shares involved in such Pre-Release Transactions at any one time to thirty percent (30%) of the Receipts outstanding (without giving effect to Receipts outstanding under (i) above), provided, however, that the Depositary reserves the right to change or disregard such limit from time to time as it deems appropriate. The Depositary may also set limits with respect to the number of Receipts and Shares involved in Pre-Release Transactions with any one person on a case by case basis as it deems appropriate. Collateral provided pursuant to (b) above, but not the earnings thereon, shall be held for the benefit of the Holders and Beneficial Owners.
