2.1. Facility and Loan Purposes.

This Facility is in an aggregate principal amount of US$ 200,000,000 for purposes of financing the Borrower’s partial funding needs to effect the Acquisition.

2.2. Term of Facility, Availability Period and Repayment.

2.2.1. The Facility has a three year term, commencing on the date hereof (if the day falling three years after the date hereof is

not a Business Day, the Facility shall expire on the preceding Business Day thereof) (the “Expiry Date”).

2.2.2. The Commitment is not a revolving commitment, and may only be drawn in a single lump sum in full, not later than the Commitment Termination Date. Any portion of the Commitment that has not been drawn down prior to the Commitment Termination Date shall be cancelled automatically.

2.2.3. The loan under this Agreement shall be repaid in full in one lump sum payment on the Expiry Date. The Borrower shall timely repay the principal and all related payments in such amount as provided for hereunder.

2.3. Drawdown.

The Borrower shall effect the Drawdown pro rata to the Commitment Ratio of each Bank; provided, that if it is technically impossible to have such Drawdown strictly in accordance with the Commitment Ratio, the Agent may determine the actual allocation amongst the Banks of such Drawdown amount based on its reasonable judgment, and no objection from the Borrower or any Bank shall be made.

2.4. Repayment and Cancellation.

2.4.1. The Commitment under this Agreement shall be repaid or cancelled in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement.

2.4.2. Each Bank shall meet its effective Commitment, by fulfilling relevant obligations under this Agreement and providing the promised portion of the Loan; provided, that a Bank shall not be required to maintain or perform the Commitment under this Agreement if it discovers prior to performing such Commitment that the maintenance or performance of the same will result in its violation of laws or regulations, or if such Bank is precluded by other applicable laws or regulations from maintaining or performing such obligations under this Agreement (in which case, the Bank shall immediately notify the Borrower and Agent). If a Bank discovers after performing its Commitment that its maintenance of the same constitutes or will constitute a violation of law or regulation on its part, such Bank shall immediately notify the Borrower and the Agent. The Borrower shall then make repayment with respect to such Commitment or otherwise resolve to relieve such Bank of the relevant obligation(s) within 5 Business Days (or a longer period permitted by laws and regulations for cure) of its receipt of the notice from such Bank, and such Bank's Commitment shall immediately be cancelled or reduced to the extent permitted by laws and regulations. If the Bank is responsible for such violation of laws or regulations mentioned above, such Bank shall make other arrangements for the Borrower for substitute financing under terms comparable to those offered by this Agreement. If the above-mentioned violation of laws or regulations is not attributable to such Bank, such Bank shall negotiate with the Borrower

and use reasonable efforts to arrange for or assist the Borrower in obtaining other financing to the extent permissible by laws and regulations; provided, that neither the Agent nor any such Bank shall guarantee that such other financing may be procured.

2.4.3. The Borrower may at any time, with not less than 15 days prior written notice to the Agent, prepay the outstanding Loan in whole or in part without charge or penalty; provided that:

(a) With respect to each such prepayment, the amount to be prepaid shall be in the minimum amount of US$20,000,000, and any portion of such prepayment in excess of NT$20,000,000 shall be in multiples of US$5,000,000 (unless the entire outstanding balance of the Loan is less than US$20,000,000, or the portion of the outstanding Loan in excess of US$20,000,000 is not a multiple of US$5,000,000, in which case the Borrower must prepay the entire outstanding balance of the Loan).

(b) Prepayment may be made only on the last day of an Interest Period. All sums (principal, interest or fee, if any), payable in connection with the Loan to be prepaid shall be paid in full upon such prepayment.

(c) If the Borrower prepays any Loan in violation of the above, the Borrower shall indemnify the Banks for and against any and all funding costs or losses, if any, arising therefrom (the Banks making such claims shall provide evidence therefor).

2.4.4. The Commitment, once prepaid, may not be reinstated. Following each prepayment, each Bank’s Commitment shall be reduced on a pro rata basis, based on the ratio of each Bank’s outstanding principal amount to that of all the Banks. If it is technically impossible for each Bank’s Commitment to be reduced in accordance with the aforesaid ratio, the Agent may determine the actual allocation of such reduction of Commitment amongst the Banks based on its reasonable judgment, and no objection from the Borrower or any of the Banks shall be made.

2.4.5. Unless otherwise provided by this Agreement, no Commitment under this Agreement may be cancelled absent the prior consent of all the Banks.

ARTICLE III. LOANS/ADVANCES.

3.1. Loan Commitment.

3.1.1. Subject to the Borrower having complied with the conditions precedent set out in this Agreement, the Borrower may, within the availability period and up to the Total Commitment, draw down the Loan in a single lump sum pursuant to this Agreement. The Drawdown shall be effected pro rata to the Commitment Ratio of each Bank.

3.1.2. The Commitment is not a revolving commitment, and may only be drawn down in a single lump sum payment.

3.1.3. Each Bank agrees to advance the Loan to the Borrower pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

3.2. Drawdown.

3.2.1. Subject to the Borrower having fully complied with or performed the conditions precedent to Drawdown as set out in this Agreement, the Borrower may, at any time, with at least three Business Day prior written notice to the Agent by 10:00 AM (Taipei time) in the form of EXHIBIT I hereto (“Drawdown Request”), request a Drawdown of the Loans in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in this Agreement. Each Bank shall, upon such request and to the extent of its respective Commitment, make such Loans to the Borrower in accordance with its Commitment Ratio; provided, that its obligation to make such Loans is subject to the condition that none of the following circumstances shall have occurred prior to such request for drawdown: (a) such Drawdown will cause the total Loan outstanding hereunder to exceed the total available Commitment; (b) the Drawdown will cause the Loan outstanding with respect to any Bank hereunder to exceed its then available Commitment or to exceed its Commitment Ratio; (c) the Drawdown Date will be later than the Commitment Termination Date; or (d) the Drawdown otherwise does not comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

3.2.2. Provided that the conditions described above have been met with respect to the requested Drawdown, the Agent shall immediately accept the Drawdown Request on behalf of the Banks. Each Drawdown Request, once accepted by the Agent, shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. Following the acceptance of such Drawdown Request, if the Borrower is unable to satisfy the conditions precedent to drawdown as specified in Section VI hereof, resulting in the Banks unable to advance in whole or in part the requested Drawdown, the Borrower shall, at the demand of the Agent, reimburse the Banks for all reasonable and necessary expenses and direct losses (the Banks making such claims shall provide evidence therefor) in connection therewith.

3.2.3. Upon its receipt by fax of a Drawdown Request from the Borrower, the Agent shall notify each Bank in writing (in form of Exhibit II hereto), stating the date on which each Bank is to make available its Loan and the amount to be advanced by each Bank in accordance with its respective Commitment Ratio. Each Bank shall, pursuant to such notice and this Agreement, make available such Loans in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon (Taipei time) on the Drawdown Date as specified in the Drawdown Request and to the account designated by the Agent. Unless notified prior to the Drawdown Date, the Agent may assume that each Bank is capable of advancing payment pursuant to this Agreement and, on the basis of such assumption, may (but is not obligated to) timely make available

the funds to the Borrower, unless the Agent has received a written notice from any of the Banks prior to the Drawdown Date stating that such Bank is unable to make such Advance. Notwithstanding the above, the Agent is under no obligation to make available or advance any sum to the Borrower on behalf of the Banks unless and until the Agent actually receives the funds made available by the Banks pursuant to this Agreement. If the Agent makes available to the Borrower the funds required under the Agreement to be advanced by any Bank, and such Bank shall fail to actually make available to the Agent such funds, the Borrower shall at any time, upon the Agent’s demand, refund such funds to the Agent together with interest thereon, calculated at the Agent’s actual cost of funding, as of that date, for the period from the Drawdown Date to the date of the Agent’s actual receipt of the refunds thereof (the Agent shall issue to the Borrower a receipt for any such interest payment).

3.2.4. Failure by any Bank to make available its Advance pursuant to this Agreement shall not relieve other Banks of their obligations to make Advances pursuant to this Agreement and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligations under this Agreement. The Banks or the Agent shall not be liable for the failure of any other Bank to make the required Advances. Any Bank which fails to make such Advances shall reimburse and indemnify the Borrower for and against (a) any and all interest paid to the Agent as provided for in the above and (b) any loss or additional funding cost incurred by the Borrower arising therefrom (subject to relevant supporting documents or evidence presented by the Borrower to substantiate its claim).

ARTICLE IV. INTEREST, FEES, PAYMENT AND YIELD PROTECTION.

4.1. Commitment Fee. No Commitment fee is payable in respect of this Facility.

4.2. Loan Interest.

4.2.1. The Borrower shall pay the Agent interest on the Loan outstanding in US Dollars at the applicable Interest Rate, calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. The applicable Interest Rate for each Interest Period, once determined, shall be fixed and shall not change until the first day of the next Interest Period (i.e., the Interest Rate will not change during the same Interest Period). The Borrower shall pay all such interest to the Agent, on each Interest Payment Date, for distribution by the Agent to the Banks pursuant to the applicable provisions of this Agreement.

4.2.2. The Agent shall calculate interest at the applicable Interest Rate periodically and notify the Borrower in written notice of such interest at least three Business Days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date. The Borrower shall make such interest payments to the Agent in immediately available funds in

US Dollars on each Interest Payment Date, for distribution by the Agent to the Banks.

4.2.3. The business tax and stamp duty (“GBRT”) arising out of the above interest payments shall be grossed up and borne by the Borrower.

4.2.4. The business tax under the VAT and non-VAT Tax Regulation is 2%, however, in accordance with related provisions of the regulation, banks also need to set aside 3% of its revenue to allow for overdue debt and offset bad debt; therefore, under this Agreement, the business tax to be borne and paid by the Borrower is 5%. In the event the business tax rate changes, the changed rate will be utilized; however the Borrower will still bear the full costs for the provision for bad debt. If the Banks’ overdue loan ratio decreases and no longer need to provide the 3% provision for bad debt, the Banks shall notify the Agent. Upon receipt of such notice, at the next payment period, the Agent shall calculate business tax at the rate of 2%. The Agent, however, is not obligated to verify the Banks’ business tax status and may continue to calculate the business tax at 5%.

4.2.5. If on or before the first day of any Interest Period (a) the Agent can not obtain the LIBOR or (b) the Agent has been notified by the Majority Banks that LIBOR can no longer reflect such Majority Banks’ funding cost or the relevant Interest Rate does not yield to such Banks a spread of at least the relevant Margin during the relevant period and provided evidence of their funding costs to the Agent, the Agent shall promptly give notice of such fact to the Borrower and each Bank. The Agent shall, after giving such notice, consult with the relevant Banks and negotiate with the Borrower in good faith to identify a substitute basis of borrowing (“Substitute Basis of Borrowing”) which is acceptable to both parties. If at the expiry of twenty (20) calendar days from the date of the Agent's notice pursuant to the above, the Borrower has agreed to accept such Substitute Basis of Borrowing, it shall be retroactive to and take effect from the beginning of the then current Interest Period. If the Agent and the Borrower can not reach agreement on the rates with all of the relevant Banks (but can reach agreement with some of the relevant Banks) during the 20 days period, the Borrower shall be entitled to notify the Agent of its decision to prepay those Banks the entirety (but not part) of the Loans which they have failed to reach agreement and to enter into agreement with the remaining Banks. The Borrower shall then on the day falling 45 days after the Agent’s giving of notice, (a) prepay the outstanding to those Banks in accordance with the above or (b) if then have not yet reached agreement with any other Banks, prepay the entire outstandings to such other Banks, without any charge or penalty, but the Borrower shall indemnify against such Banks for any and all funding costs arising from such prepayments. With respect to the Loans so prepaid, the interest thereon for such 45 days shall be paid at the rate which equal to the Banks’ actual

funding cost plus the then applicable Margin. In the event of any such prepayment, the Commitment Ratio of each Bank shall adjust accordingly.

4.3. Others and Fee Adjustment.

4.3.1 The Borrower shall pay the Arrangers and the Agent fees for the Arrangers’ formation of the Banks and the Agent’s management of affairs pertaining to this Agreement. The terms and conditions of such payment will be separately agreed upon in writing between the Borrower and the Agent.

4.3.2 If the Borrower records changes in its net income ratio according to its most recent consolidated financial statements required to be delivered to the Agent and the Banks, resulting in decreases in its Margin p.a., the Borrower shall inform the Agent in writing of such decrease, and the Agent will in turn notify the Banks. If the Banks do not dispute the accuracy of such changes in Borrower’s net income ratio to the Agent within five days of receipt of notice, the Margin p.a. of the Loans under the Facility, starting from the next Interest Payment Period, shall be decreased accordingly. However, if subsequently the Borrower’s net income ratio changes again, resulting in increases in its Margin p.a., the Borrower or the Banks shall inform the Agent in writing, and the Agent will in turn notify the Banks and the Borrower. If the Borrower and the Banks do not dispute the accuracy of such changes in Borrower’s net income ratio to the Agent within five days of receipt of notice, the Margin p.a. of the Loan under the Facility, starting at the next Interest Payment Period shall be increased accordingly. The calculation of the net income ratio shall be based on the most recent consolidated financial statements submitted by the Borrower in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

4.4. Payment Terms and Default Interest.

4.4.1. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent in accordance with applicable provisions of this Agreement to its account with Citibank N.A. in New York or as otherwise designated by the Agent, all sums (such as principal, interests or fees) which it is required to pay by this Agreement or related documents, in immediately available funds and in US Dollars before 12:00 noon time (Taipei time) on the due date.

4.4.2. If the Borrower makes payment in a currency other than the currency required hereunder (“Payment Currency”), the payment or repayment so made will not relieve the Borrower of its liability unless such other currency has been fully converted into the Payment Currency and have been remitted to the account or place designated by the Agent. The Borrower shall assume all the relevant foreign exchange risk in this respect. The Borrower shall also be responsible for securing in a timely fashion all approvals (including foreign exchange approvals) necessary for

making all relevant payments in the Payment Currency, and shall make no defense based on its default on payment pursuant to the Agreement due to its failure to obtain the relevant approvals.

4.4.3. Any sum payable hereunder may be paid on the next Business Day if the due date thereof is not a Business Day, unless such Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case the payment shall be made on the Business Day immediately preceding the due day.

4.4.4. If any of the payments required under this Agreement is not paid when due, the Borrower shall immediate cure such nonpayment pursuant to the Agreement, and pay interests thereon to the Banks and/or the Agent at the Default Rate, calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed, for the period from the due date to the date of actual receipt by the Banks and/or the Agent of such payment. If any such nonpayment pertains to interest payments, a penalty equal to 10% of the overdue nonpayment shall be levied against the Borrower for the first 6 months, and a penalty equal to 20% of the overdue amount shall be levied against the Borrower if such nonpayment remains outstanding for more than six months.

4.4.5. All payments to the Banks from the Borrower under this Agreement shall be paid to the Agent for its distribution to the Banks. Payments made directly to the Banks by the Borrower will not relieve Borrower of its obligations under the Agreement. Save for payments payable solely to the Arrangers or the Agent, the Agent shall, upon its receipt from the Borrower of payments due to the Banks, distribute and forward such payments to each Bank for repayment. Each Bank, the Arrangers and the Agent shall issue and deliver a receipt directly to the Borrower for payment received.

4.5. Cost Increase, Taxes and Change of Law.

4.5.1. In the event of a change in laws or regulations or the interpretations by the competent authorities thereof, or a request by the relevant authority, which result in: (a) the Banks having to pay taxes for transactions hereunder, or a change in the rate or bases of the taxes payable by the Borrower to the Banks pursuant to this Agreement (except for changes in the mandatory tax rate imposed on the net income of the Banks by the R.O.C. government or the jurisdiction of the incorporation of the Banks), (b) an increase or change in application of any reserve, special deposit or similar regulations with respect to the Facility, or (c) an increase in the costs for the Banks to perform or maintain Commitments hereunder, or a decrease in the amounts otherwise receivable by the Banks under this Agreement, and to the extent deemed material by the Majority Banks, the Borrower shall, upon demand of the Banks, pay such additional sums to the Banks as indemnity for the increase in costs or decease in revenue to the Banks. The impact of the above change of law shall be determined

based upon the relevant documentary evidence so presented by the affected Bank(s).

4.5.2. Unless otherwise expressly provided by this Agreement, any and all other present and future taxes and fees payable or arising from this Agreement or this Facility shall be borne by the Borrower. If any Bank or the Agent pay(s) such taxes on the Borrower’s behalf, the Borrower shall reimburse such amount immediately upon demand, otherwise, the Borrower shall also pay interest at the Default Rate (on a floating rate basis) on such sums for the period from the date such Bank or the Agent makes such payment to the date the Borrower actually makes such reimbursement in full.

4.5.3. The Borrower shall neither make any withholdings or deductions on any payment which is payable under this Agreement, nor offset any payment payable by it against its indebtedness with any Bank. If the Borrower shall be required by law to make any such withholding or deduction from any payment under this Agreement, the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased so that after all required withholdings or deductions (including additional withholdings or deductions in response to the increase in the sum paid hereunder), the Banks, the Agent and/or the Arrangers will receive an amount equal to the sum they would have received had no such withholdings or deductions been made, and the Borrower shall provide the original (or copy certified by the Borrower) of the evidence for such payment to the Banks, the Agent and/or the Arrangers within 30 days after such payment.

4.5.4. Unless otherwise expressly provided by this Agreement, any and all other present and future taxes and fees payable or arising from the execution or registration of this Agreement or other related documents shall be borne by the Borrower. If any Bank or the Agent pay(s) such taxes on the Borrower’s behalf, the Borrower shall reimburse such amount upon demand, otherwise, the Borrower shall also pay interest at the Default Rate (on floating rate basis) on such sums for the period from the date such Bank or the Agent makes such payment to the date the Borrower actually makes such reimbursement in full.

4.6. Application of Payments.

4.6.1. All sums received by the Agent under this Agreement and all other related documents shall be applied in the following order of priority: (a) first, to all expenses and fees payable to or incurred by the Agent under this Agreement and all other related documents, and which are not reimbursed or paid by the Borrower or any Bank (including the agency fee payable to the Agent); (b) then to all outstanding fees and interests (including penalties or default interests payable at the Default Rate) payable by the Borrower to the Agent and the Banks under this Agreement; and (c) then to the distributions by the Agent to each Bank pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement (or in the absence of an express agreement, at the discretion of the Agent), in accordance with the

ratio of each Bank’s outstanding Loan under the Facility to the sum of all the Banks’ outstanding Loans under the Facility (the “Risk Sharing Ratio”).

4.6.2. Unless otherwise provided for in this Agreement, the Agent shall forward to the Banks all sums received from the Borrower and payable to the Banks, upon its actual receipt of such sums, for the Banks to apply towards the indebtedness due from the Borrower to the Banks in the order of priority prescribed by this Agreement or laws and regulations. In the event that the sums actually received by the Agent are insufficient to pay all sums in a specific category to the relevant Banks in the same order of priority, the Agent shall distribute such sums to each Bank on a pro-rata basis in accordance with the Risk Sharing Ratio.

In handling matters relating to the Commitment (such as advance, repayment, etc.), the Agent shall allocate the Commitment in accordance with the proportions stipulated in this Agreement; provided, that where actual calculations do not permit allocation to be made in such a manner/ratio, the Agent may use its reasonable judgment in making the allocation, and no Bank shall raise any objection thereto.

10.7. Unless otherwise stipulated in this Agreement, communications by the Agent in relation to this Agreement may be carried out by fax, and the Agent may rely upon the authenticity and correctness of the contents of the faxed documents it receives. The Agent shall not be responsible in any way for the disruption

or delay of any transmissions or receptions of communication (by telephone, fax or courier) or for any defect, error or consequences in the transmission or reception process, except where such is caused by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Agent.

10.8. Upon receiving any notices from the Borrower, the Agent shall notify each of the Banks. Except for notices, reports, financial statements and other documents required to be delivered by the Agent to each of the Banks under this Agreement, the Agent is not obliged to provide the Banks with any other information in its possession concerning the credit record, general business and financial status of the Borrower.

10.9. During the term of this Agreement, the Agent, the Arrangers or any of the Banks may enter into other transactions unrelated to the Facility with the Borrower in capacities other than as the Agent, an Arranger or a Bank. Such transactions shall not be affected by the Agreement.

10.10. The Agent may notify the Borrower and each of the Banks in writing at any time that it shall resign from the position of the Agent (as soon as a new Agent takes office). The Majority Banks are also entitled to replace the Agent at any time. Upon the resignation or replacement of an Agent, the Majority Banks are entitled to elect a new Agent. If within 30 days after the resignation of the Agent or the replacement of the Agent by the Majority Banks, the Majority Bank fails to elect a new Agent or the newly elected Agent does not agree to take the office, the original resigning Agent may select a financial institution as its successor. If the successor is not successfully selected by the Agent during another 30-day period, the Agent may still resign. During such period (before the successor agent in selected), all the Banks shall jointly perform the duties of the Agent until the successor agent is selected, but if the Majority Banks resolve to exercise the rights under the Note during such period, the Agent shall perform relevant acts in accordance with this Agreement. The resigning Agent may continue to collect any sums falling due but uncollected during the period of its office and this provision shall remain applicable to any acts taken by the resigning Agent prior to its duties being terminated.

10.11. All the payments received by the Agent from the Borrower for the common interest of the Banks and payments from the Banks to be distributed to the Borrower, shall after being applied for payment of various fees and expenses in accordance with this Agreement, be distributed or allocated in accordance with this Agreement (for payments to be distributed amongst the Banks, the distribution shall be made in accordance with the Risk Sharing Ratio), and shall deliver such payments to each Bank by the Business Day following actual receipt thereof. The Agent’s obligation to distribute the said payments shall be limited to the amounts that it actually receives, and the Agent is not obliged to advance any amounts therefor. The Agent may assume that the relevant persons

with obligation to pay will make the relevant payments to the Agent in accordance with the Agreement, and may (but is not obliged to) distribute or pay such amounts to each of the Banks on the basis of such assumption and in the aforementioned manner. However, where the Agent relies on such assumption in making the payment, but subsequently finds that it has not actually received the relevant payment, the Bank or the Borrower which receives the said amount from the Agent shall refund the payment immediately upon receiving the notice from the Agent, and shall pay interest to the Agent from the date that it receives the payment and until the date that refund is actually made to the Agent, calculated based on the Agent’s actual cost of funding, as of that date.

10.12. Unless the Agent has received the notice from any Bank or the Borrower concerning the occurrence of an Event of Default, which notice expressly states that it is a “notice of Event of Default”, the Agent shall not be deemed to have known or has been informed as to the occurrence of an Event of Default. Upon receiving the said notice, the Agent shall notify each of the Banks as soon as possible.

10.13. The Agent shall be treated as an independent business unit of Citibank, N.A. Any notice to be sent to the Agent shall not be deemed duly sent if it were sent to other business department of Citibank N.A.

10.14. Any damage, if any, caused to the Borrower as a result of any act or omission to act of a Bank shall be the responsibility of that relevant Bank, and the Arrangers, the Agent or any other Banks shall not be responsible therefor.

10.15. In the event of any damage or loss to the Agent or a Bank in the course of performance of this Agreement by the Borrower or its agent or employee, as a result of causes attributable to the Borrower or its agent or employee, the Borrower shall be liable for full indemnification against such damage or loss.

10.16. Unless otherwise provided hereunder, in respect of their performance hereunder, neither the Agent nor its agents or employees shall be held liable in whatever respect to the Banks except for those as a result of its willful misconduct or gross negligence.

10.17. The Agent may outsource the matters to be handled by it under this Agreement to others in accordance with applicable laws and regulation.

ARTICLE XI. SET-OFF.

11.1. In the event that the Borrower fails to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any other relevant agreement in connection with the Facility, each of the Banks and the Agent,

in addition to exercising the various rights of claim under this Agreement, shall also be entitled to (but are not obliged to) offset any sums in accounts (irrespective of whether such sum is of the same currency and, in case of different currencies, such Bank or the Agent may convert same to the same currency as the Borrower’s obligations hereunder) held by the Borrower at the said Banks or the Agent (including their headquarters and all branches) and all claims of the Borrower against the Bank or the Agent, against the obligations of the Borrower to the Banks and/or the Agent under this Agreement (the Borrowers further agrees that such accounts or other claims shall be deemed to mature automatically upon such time that the offset is exercised by the relevant Bank or the Agent). Where an account held by the Borrower is a time deposit account, the relevant Bank or the Agent may directly terminate the time deposit account agreement prematurely and offset funds in the said account against the obligations under this Agreement, notwithstanding that the deposit term has not expired; where such an account is a checking account, the Borrower agrees that an announcement by the Banks of the acceleration of the obligations under this Facility shall be a condition for termination of the checking account agreements and upon such announcement, the checking account agreement shall cease to be effective, and the Banks or the Agent may directly exercise its right of offset and notify the Borrower thereof. To the greatest extent permitted by law, the exercise of such setoff right shall be deemed to take effect at the time that such offset is recorded on the books of the relevant Bank. Where the offset amount is insufficient to satisfy the full amount of the outstanding obligations of the Borrower hereunder, the Borrower shall remain liable for repaying the insufficiency thereof.

11.2. In order to maintain the prorata repayments to each Bank, where any payments received by a Bank in respect of the Facility (whether as a result of voluntary or involuntary offset or otherwise) exceeds the prorata amount due to that Bank in accordance with this Agreement, such Bank shall (a) forward such sums to the Agent for distribution to all Banks in accordance with this Agreement or (b) if necessary and to the extent required by law, purchase from the other Banks a right of claim equivalent to the amount of the excess, so that such Bank may, in substance, share with the other Banks the proceeds of the additional repayment. However, if the benefiting Bank is subsequently required to return all or part of such repayment, the aforementioned purchase of claim shall be unwind immediately, and the consideration paid for such purchase shall also be refunded without interest. The Borrower further agrees that the Banks may exercise all rights (including the right of offset), in the same manner as for other rights hereunder, in respect of the claims so purchased.

11.3. If any other creditor of the Borrower effects a compulsory execution against any account of the Borrower with a Bank or the Agent, and the executing court issues an attachment order, collection order, or transfer order to the Bank or the Agent in

respect of such account, the said Bank or the Agent shall be entitled to declare that the Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement in an amount equal to the amount of such deposit to be subject to compulsory execution shall become due and payable immediately, and to offset same against such deposit in the account; provided, that so long as such attachment shall not constitute an Event of Default, the availability of the Commitment shall not be affected.

ARTICLE XII. EXPENSES.

12.1. All reasonable legal costs and other costs and expenses incurred by the Arrangers in arranging for the Banks and preparing this Agreement, or any other related documents, as well as costs and expenses to be incurred for any subsequent amendments or modification to this Agreement, shall be borne by the Borrower.

12.2. All reasonable fees and legal costs incurred by a Bank and/or the Agent arising from occurrence of an Event of Default in exercising the rights under this Agreement and other relevant agreements, shall be borne by the Borrower.

12.3. If the Borrower fails to pay the costs and expenses in accordance with this Agreement, the Agent has no obligation to advance same and may require each of the Banks to advance same in accordance with the Risk Sharing Ratio (or if the Borrower has not yet made any Drawdown at such time, in accordance with the Commitment Ratio), and the Agent may take the relevant action only upon receipt of such payments in full from the Banks. If the Agent has advanced such payment, the Banks shall reimburse the Agent immediately upon demand, and if any Bank fails to make such reimbursement timely, the Agent may directly deduct such payment against sums to be paid to the Banks under this Agreement. The Banks reimbursement obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any assignment of such Bank’s right or obligation hereunder, and to the extent such payment is not paid, the assignee bank shall assume same accordingly.

12.4. Neither the Banks, the Arrangers nor the Agent is obliged to advance any payment(s) on behalf of the Borrower. However, if a Bank, an Arranger or the Agent has done so, the Borrower shall reimburse them for same immediately upon demand, failing which interest at the Default Rate (on a floating rate basis) shall be payable on such payment commencing from the date of advance by the Bank(s), the Arranger(s) or the Agent until such reimbursement is actually made by the Borrower.

ARTICLE XIII. NOTICES AND PAYMENTS BY AGENT.

13.1. Notices made under this Agreement shall be made in writing (by letter or fax) in accordance with relevant provisions of this

15.3. In respect of a waiver, amendment or modification to be made by the written consent of all of the Banks or the Majority Banks, each of the Banks, the Arrangers and the Agent hereby agree and unconditionally authorize the Agent to execute the relevant documents, for and on behalf of all of the Banks, the Arrangers and the Agent, in accordance with the written consent of all of the Banks or the Majority Banks, as applicable (acts of the Agent in accordance with this provision shall be binding on all of the Banks and the Arrangers).

15.4. This Agreement shall be binding on the assignees or successors of each party to this Agreement, or any other person who assumes or succeeds to the rights or obligations of such party according to law; provided, that the Borrower may not assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Agent and all of the Banks.

15.5.
