           TRANSFER AND SURRENDER OF RECEIPTS.

        SECTION 2.1 Form and Transferability of Receipts.
                    -------------------------------------
          Definitive Receipts shall be substantially in the form set forth in
Exhibit A annexed to this Deposit Agreement, with appropriate insertions,
modifications and omissions, as hereinafter provided. No Receipt shall be
entitled to any benefits under this Deposit Agreement or be valid or obligatory
for any purpose, unless such Receipt shall have been executed by the Depositary
by the manual signature of a duly authorized signatory of the Depositary;
provided, however, that such signature may be a facsimile if a Registrar for the
Receipts shall have been appointed and such Receipts are countersigned by the
manual or facsimile signature of a duly authorized officer of the Registrar. The
Depositary shall maintain books on which each Receipt so executed and delivered
as hereinafter provided and the transfer of each such Receipt shall be
registered. Receipts bearing the manual or facsimile signature of a duly
authorized signatory of the Depositary who was at any time a proper signatory of
the Depositary shall bind the Depositary, notwithstanding that such signatory
has ceased to hold such office prior to the execution and delivery of such
Receipts by the Registrar or did not hold such office on the date of issuance of
such Receipts.

          The Receipts may be endorsed with or have incorporated in the text
thereof such legends or recitals or modifications not inconsistent with the
provisions of this Deposit Agreement as may be required by the Depositary or
required to comply with any applicable law or regulations thereunder or with the
rules and regulations of any securities exchange upon which American Depositary
Shares may be listed or to conform with any usage with respect thereto, or to
indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which any particular
Receipts are subject by reason of the date of issuance of the underlying
Deposited Securities or otherwise.

          Title to a Receipt (and to the American Depositary Shares evidenced
thereby), when properly endorsed or accompanied by proper instruments of
transfer, shall

<PAGE>

be transferable by delivery with the same effect as in the case of a negotiable
instrument under the laws of New York; provided, however, that the Depositary,
notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, may treat the Owner thereof as the
absolute owner thereof for the purpose of determining the person entitled to
distribution of dividends or other distributions or to any notice provided for
in this Deposit Agreement and for all other purposes.

        SECTION 2.2 Deposit of Shares.
                    ------------------
          Subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, Shares
or evidence of rights to receive Shares may be deposited by delivery thereof to
any Custodian hereunder, accompanied by any appropriate instrument or
instruments of transfer, or endorsement, in form satisfactory to the Custodian,
together with all such certifications as may be required by the Depositary or
the Custodian in accordance with the provisions of this Deposit Agreement, and,
if the Depositary requires, together with a written order directing the
Depositary to execute and deliver to, or upon the written order of, the person
or persons stated in such order, a Receipt or Receipts for the number of
American Depositary Shares representing such deposit. No Share shall be accepted
for deposit unless accompanied by evidence satisfactory to the Depositary that
any necessary approval has been granted by any governmental body in the Cayman
Islands or Hong Kong which is then performing the function of the regulation of
currency exchange. If required by the Depositary, Shares presented for deposit
at any time, whether or not the transfer books of the Issuer or the Foreign
Registrar, if applicable, are closed, shall also be accompanied by an agreement
or assignment, or other instrument satisfactory to the Depositary, which will
provide for the prompt transfer to the Custodian of any dividend, or right to
subscribe for additional Shares or to receive other property which any person in
whose name the Shares are or have been recorded may thereafter receive upon or
in respect of such deposited Shares, or in lieu thereof, such agreement of
indemnity or other agreement as shall be satisfactory to the Depositary.

<PAGE>

          At the request and risk and expense of any person proposing to deposit
Shares, and for the account of such person, the Depositary may receive
certificates for Shares to be deposited, together with the other instruments
herein specified, for the purpose of forwarding such Share certificates to the
Custodian for deposit hereunder.

          Upon each delivery to a Custodian of a certificate or certificates for
Shares to be deposited hereunder, together with the other documents above
specified, such Custodian shall, as soon as transfer and recordation can be
accomplished, present such certificate or certificates to the Issuer or the
Foreign Registrar, if applicable, for transfer and recordation of the Shares
being deposited in the name of the Depositary or its nominee or such Custodian
or its nominee.

          Deposited Securities shall be held by the Depositary or by a Custodian
for the account and to the order of the Depositary or at such other place or
places as the Depositary shall determine.

        SECTION 2.3 Execution and Delivery of Receipts.
                    -----------------------------------
          Upon receipt by any Custodian of any deposit pursuant to Section 2.2
hereunder (and in addition, if the transfer books of the Issuer or the Foreign
Registrar, if applicable, are open, the Depositary may in its sole discretion
require a proper acknowledgment or other evidence from the Issuer that any
Deposited Securities have been recorded upon the books of the Issuer or the
Foreign Registrar, if applicable, in the name of the Depositary or its nominee
or such Custodian or its nominee), together with the other documents required as
above specified, such Custodian shall notify the Depositary of such deposit and
the person or persons to whom or upon whose written order a Receipt or Receipts
are deliverable in respect thereof and the number of American Depositary Shares
to be evidenced thereby. Such notification shall be made by letter or, at the
request, risk and expense of the person making the deposit, by cable, telex or
facsimile transmission. Upon receiving such notice from such Custodian, or upon
the receipt of Shares by the Depositary, the Depositary, subject to the terms
and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, shall execute and deliver at its
Corporate Trust Office, to or

<PAGE>

upon the order of the person or persons entitled thereto, a Receipt or Receipts,
registered in the name or names and evidencing any authorized number of American
Depositary Shares requested by such person or persons, but only upon payment to
the Depositary of the fees and expenses of the Depositary for the execution and
delivery of such Receipt or Receipts as provided in Section 5.9, and of all
taxes and governmental charges and fees payable in connection with such deposit
and the transfer of the Deposited Securities.

        SECTION 2.4 Transfer of Receipts; Combination and Split-up of Receipts.
                    -----------------------------------------------------------
          The Depositary, subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit
Agreement, shall register transfers of Receipts on its transfer books from time
to time, upon any surrender of a Receipt, by the Owner in person or by a duly
authorized attorney, properly endorsed or accompanied by proper instruments of
transfer, and duly stamped as may be required by the laws of the State of New
York and of the United States of America. Thereupon the Depositary shall execute
a new Receipt or Receipts and deliver the same to or upon the order of the
person entitled thereto.

          The Depositary, subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit
Agreement, shall upon surrender of a Receipt or Receipts for the purpose of
effecting a split-up or combination of such Receipt or Receipts, execute and
deliver a new Receipt or Receipts for any authorized number of American
Depositary Shares requested, evidencing the same aggregate number of American
Depositary Shares as the Receipt or Receipts surrendered.

          The Depositary may appoint one or more co-transfer agents for the
purpose of effecting transfers, combinations and split-ups of Receipts at
designated transfer offices on behalf of the Depositary. In carrying out its
functions, a co-transfer agent may require evidence of authority and compliance
with applicable laws and other requirements by Owners or persons entitled to
Receipts and will be entitled to protection and indemnity to the same extent as
the Depositary. Each co-transfer agent appointed under this Section 2.4 shall
give notice in writing to the Depositary and the Issuer

<PAGE>

accepting such appointment and agreeing to abide by the applicable terms of this
Deposit Agreement.

        SECTION 2.5 Surrender of Receipts and Withdrawal of Shares.
                    -----------------------------------------------
          Upon surrender at the Corporate Trust Office of the Depositary of a
Receipt for the purpose of withdrawal of the Deposited Securities represented by
the American Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt, and upon payment of
the fee of the Depositary for the surrender of Receipts as provided in Section
5.9 and payment of all taxes and governmental charges payable in connection with
such surrender and withdrawal of the Deposited Securities, and subject to the
terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, the Owner of such Receipt shall
be entitled to delivery, to him or upon his order, of the amount of Deposited
Securities at the time represented by the American Depositary Shares evidenced
by such Receipt. Delivery of such Deposited Securities may be made by the
delivery of (a) Shares in the name of such Owner or as ordered by him or by
certificates properly endorsed or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer
to such Owner or as ordered by him and (b) any other securities, property and
cash to which such Owner is then entitled in respect of such Receipts to such
Owner or as ordered by him. Such delivery shall be made, as hereinafter
provided, without unreasonable delay.

          A Receipt surrendered for such purposes may be required by the
Depositary to be properly endorsed in blank or accompanied by proper instruments
of transfer in blank, and if the Depositary so requires, the Owner thereof shall
execute and deliver to the Depositary a written order directing the Depositary
to cause the Deposited Securities being withdrawn to be delivered to or upon the
written order of a person or persons designated in such order. Thereupon the
Depositary shall direct the Custodian to deliver at the office of such
Custodian, subject to Sections 2.6, 3.1 and 3.2 and to the other terms and
conditions of this Deposit Agreement, to or upon the written order of the person
or persons designated in the order delivered to the Depositary as above
provided, the amount of Deposited Securities represented by the American
Depositary Shares

<PAGE>
evidenced by such Receipt, except that the Depositary may make delivery to such
person or persons at the Corporate Trust Office of the Depositary of any
dividends or distributions with respect to the Deposited Securities represented
by the American Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt, or of any proceeds
of sale of any dividends, distributions or rights, which may at the time be held
by the Depositary.

          At the request, risk and expense of any Owner so surrendering a
Receipt, and for the account of such Owner, the Depositary shall direct the
Custodian to forward any cash or other property (other than rights) comprising,
and forward a certificate or certificates, if applicable, and other proper
documents of title for, the Deposited Securities represented by the American
Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt to the Depositary for delivery at
the Corporate Trust Office of the Depositary. Such direction shall be given by
letter or, at the request, risk and expense of such Owner, by cable, telex or
facsimile transmission.

        SECTION 2.6 Limitations on Execution and Delivery, Transfer and
                    ----------------------------------------------------
Surrender of Receipts.
---------------------
          As a condition precedent to the execution and delivery, registration
of transfer, split-up, combination or surrender of any Receipt or withdrawal of
any Deposited Securities, the Depositary, Custodian or Registrar may require
payment from the depositor of Shares or the presenter of the Receipt of a sum
sufficient to reimburse it for any tax, stamp duty or other governmental charge
and any stock transfer or registration fee with respect thereto (including any
such tax or charge and fee with respect to Shares being deposited or withdrawn)
and payment of any applicable fees as herein provided, may require the
production of proof satisfactory to it as to the identity and genuineness of any
signature and may also require compliance with any regulations the Depositary
may establish consistent with the provisions of this Deposit Agreement,
including, without limitation, this Section 2.6.

          The delivery of Receipts against deposits of Shares generally or
against deposits of particular Shares may be suspended, or the transfer of
Receipts in particular

<PAGE>

instances may be refused, or the registration of transfer of outstanding
Receipts generally may be suspended, during any period when the transfer books
of the Depositary are closed, or if any such action is deemed necessary or
advisable by the Depositary or the Issuer at any time or from time to time
because of any requirement of law or of any government or governmental body or
commission, or under any provision of this Deposit Agreement, or for any other
reason, subject to the provisions of Section 7.7 hereof. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Deposit Agreement or the Receipts, the surrender of
outstanding Receipts and withdrawal of Deposited Securities may not be suspended
subject only to (i) temporary delays caused by closing the transfer books of the
Depositary or the Issuer 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 Securities. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Depositary shall
not knowingly accept for deposit under this Deposit Agreement any Shares
required to be registered under the provisions of the Securities Act, unless a
registration statement is in effect as to such Shares.

        SECTION 2.7 Lost Receipts, etc.
                    -------------------
          In case any Receipt shall be mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the
Depositary shall execute and deliver a new Receipt of like tenor in exchange and
substitution for such mutilated Receipt upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of
and in substitution for such destroyed, lost or stolen Receipt. Before the
Depositary shall execute and deliver a new Receipt in substitution for a
destroyed, lost or stolen Receipt, the Owner thereof shall have (a) filed with
the Depositary (i) a request for such execution and delivery before the
Depositary has notice that the Receipt has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser and (ii) a sufficient indemnity bond and (b) satisfied any other
reasonable requirements imposed by the Depositary.

<PAGE>

        SECTION 2.8 Cancellation and Destruction of Surrendered Receipts.
                    -----------------------------------------------------
          All Receipts surrendered to the Depositary shall be cancelled by the
Depositary. The Depositary is authorized to destroy Receipts so cancelled.

        SECTION 2.9 Pre-Release of Receipts.
                    ------------------------
          The Depositary may issue Receipts against the delivery by the Issuer
(or any agent of the Issuer recording Share ownership) of rights to receive
Shares from the Issuer (or any such agent). No such issue of Receipts will be
deemed a "Pre-Release" that is subject to the restrictions of the following
paragraph.

          Unless requested in writing by the Issuer to cease doing so, the
Depositary may, notwithstanding Section 2.3 hereof, execute and deliver Receipts
prior to the receipt of Shares pursuant to Section 2.2 ("Pre-Release"). The
Depositary may, pursuant to Section 2.5, deliver Shares upon the receipt and
cancellation of Receipts which have been Pre-Released, whether or not such
cancellation is prior to the termination of such Pre-Release or the Depositary
knows that such Receipt has been Pre-Released. The Depositary may receive
Receipts in lieu of Shares in satisfaction of a Pre-Release. Each Pre-Release
will be (a) preceded or accompanied by a written representation and agreement
from the person to whom Receipts are to be delivered (the "Pre-Releasee") that
the Pre-Releasee, or its customer, (i) owns the Shares or Receipts to be
remitted, as the case may be, (ii) assigns all beneficial rights, title and
interest in such Shares or Receipts, as the case may be, to the Depositary in
its capacity as such and for the benefit of the Owners, and (iii) will not take
any action with respect to such Shares or Receipts, as the case may be, that is
inconsistent with the transfer of beneficial ownership (including, without the
consent of the Depositary, disposing of such Shares or Receipts, as the case may
be), other than in satisfaction of such Pre-Release, (b) at all times fully
collateralized with cash, U.S. government securities or such other collateral as
the Depositary determines, in good faith, will provide substantially similar
liquidity and security, (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

<PAGE>

appropriate. The number of Shares not deposited but represented by American
Depositary Shares outstanding at any time as a result of Pre-Releases will not
normally exceed thirty percent (30%) of the Shares deposited hereunder;
provided, however, that the Depositary reserves the right to disregard such
limit from time to time as it deems reasonably appropriate, and may, with the
prior written consent of the Issuer, change such limit for purposes of general
application. The Depositary will also set Dollar limits with respect to
Pre-Release transactions to be entered into hereunder with any particular
Pre-Releasee on a case-by-case basis as the Depositary deems appropriate. For
purposes of enabling the Depositary to fulfill its obligations to the Owners
under the Deposit Agreement, the collateral referred to in clause (b) above
shall be held by the Depositary as security for the performance of the
Pre-Releasee's obligations to the Depositary in connection with a Pre-Release
transaction, including the Pre-Releasee's obligation to deliver Shares or
Receipts upon termination of a Pre-Release transaction (and shall not, for the
avoidance of doubt, constitute Deposited Securities hereunder).

          The Depositary may retain for its own account any compensation
received by it in connection with the foregoing.

ARTICLE 3. CERTAIN OBLIGATIONS OF OWNERS AND BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF RECEIPTS.

        SECTION 3.1 Filing Proofs, Certificates and Other Information.
                    --------------------------------------------------
          Any person presenting Shares for deposit or any Owner or Beneficial
Owner of a Receipt may be required from time to time to file with the Depositary
or the Custodian such proof of citizenship or residence, exchange control
approval, or such information relating to the registration on the books of the
Issuer or the Foreign Registrar, if applicable, to execute such certificates and
to make such representations and warranties, as the Depositary may deem
necessary or proper. The Depositary may withhold the delivery or registration of
transfer of any Receipt or the distribution of any dividend or sale or
distribution of rights or of the proceeds thereof or the delivery of any
Deposited Securities until such proof or other information is filed or such
certificates are

<PAGE>

executed or such representations and warranties made. If requested in writing,
the Depositary shall, as promptly as practicable, provide the Issuer, at the
expense of the Issuer, with copies of any such proofs, certificates or other
information it receives pursuant to this section, unless prohibited by
applicable law.

        SECTION 3.2 Liability of Owner for Taxes.
                    -----------------------------
          If any tax or other governmental charge shall become payable by the
Custodian or the Depositary with respect to any Receipt or any Deposited
Securities represented by any Receipt, such tax or other governmental charge
shall be payable by the Owner of such Receipt to the Depositary. The Depositary
may refuse to effect any transfer of such Receipt or any withdrawal of Deposited
Securities represented by American Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt
until such payment is made, and may withhold any dividends or other
distributions, or may sell for the account of the Owner thereof any part or all
of the Deposited Securities represented by the American Depositary Shares
evidenced by such Receipt, and may apply such dividends or other distributions
or the proceeds of any such sale in payment of such tax or other governmental
charge and the Owner of such Receipt shall remain liable for any deficiency.

        SECTION 3.3 Warranties on Deposit of Shares.
                    --------------------------------
          Every person depositing Shares under this Deposit Agreement shall be
deemed thereby to represent and warrant that such Shares and each certificate
therefor, if applicable, are validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and free
of any pre-emptive rights of the holders of outstanding Shares and that the
person making such deposit is duly authorized so to do. Every such person shall
also be deemed to represent that the deposit of such Shares and the sale of
Receipts evidencing American Depositary Shares representing such Shares by that
person would not be Restricted Securities. Such representations and warranties
shall survive the deposit of Shares and issuance of Receipts.

<PAGE>

        SECTION 3.4 Disclosure of Interests.
                    ------------------------
          Notwithstanding any other provision of this Deposit Agreement, each
Owner and Beneficial Owner agrees to comply with requests from the Issuer
pursuant to applicable law or the Memorandum and Articles of Association to
provide information, inter alia, as to the capacity in which such Owner or
Beneficial Owner owns American Depositary Shares (and Shares as the case may be)
and regarding the identity of any other person(s) interested in such American
Depositary Shares (and Shares, as the case may be) and the nature of such
interest and various other matters, whether or not they are Owners or Beneficial
Owners at the time of such request. The Depositary agrees to use its reasonable
efforts to forward, upon the reasonable written request of the Issuer and at the
expense of the Issuer, any such written request from the Issuer to the Owners
and to forward, as promptly as practicable, to the Issuer any such responses to
such requests received by the Depositary. If the Issuer requests information
from the Depositary, the Custodian or the nominee of either, as the registered
owner of the Shares, the obligations of the Depositary, Custodian or such
nominee, as the case may be, shall be limited to disclosing to the Issuer the
information contained in the register.

ARTICLE 4. THE DEPOSITED SECURITIES.

        SECTION 4.1 Cash Distributions.
                    -------------------
          Whenever the Depositary shall receive any cash dividend or other cash
distribution on any Deposited Securities, the Depositary shall, subject to the
provisions of Section 4.5, convert such dividend or distribution into Dollars
and shall distribute the amount thus received (net of the fees and expenses of
the Depositary as provided in Section 5.9 hereof, if applicable) to the Owners
entitled thereto, in proportion to the number of American Depositary Shares
representing such Deposited Securities held by them respectively; provided,
however, that in the event that the Issuer or the Depositary shall be required
to withhold and does withhold from such cash dividend or such other cash
distribution an amount on account of taxes, the amount distributed to the Owner
of the Receipts evidencing American Depositary Shares representing such
Deposited Securities shall be reduced accordingly. The Depositary shall
distribute only such

<PAGE>

amount, however, as can be distributed without attributing to any Owner a
fraction of one cent. Any such fractional amounts shall be rounded to the
nearest whole cent and so distributed to Owners entitled thereto. The Issuer or
its agent will remit to the appropriate governmental agency in the Cayman
Islands all amounts withheld and owing to such agency. The Depositary will
forward to the Issuer or its agent such information from its records as the
Issuer may reasonably request to enable the Issuer or its agent to file
necessary reports with governmental agencies, and the Depositary or the Issuer
or its agent may file any such reports necessary to obtain benefits under the
applicable tax treaties for the Owners of Receipts.

        SECTION 4.2 Distributions Other Than Cash, Shares or Rights.
                    ------------------------------------------------
          Subject to the provisions of Section 4.11 and Section 5.9, whenever
the Depositary shall receive any distribution other than a distribution
described in Sections 4.1, 4.3 or 4.4, the Depositary shall cause the securities
or property received by it to be distributed to the Owners entitled thereto,
after deduction or upon payment of any fees and expenses of the Depositary or
any taxes or other governmental charges, in proportion to the number of American
Depositary Shares representing such Deposited Securities held by them
respectively, in any manner that the Depositary may deem equitable and
practicable for accomplishing such distribution; provided, however, that if in
the opinion of the Depositary such distribution cannot be made proportionately
among the Owners entitled thereto, or if for any other reason (including, but
not limited to, any requirement that the Issuer or the Depositary withhold an
amount on account of taxes or other governmental charges or that such securities
must be registered under the Securities Act in order to be distributed to Owners
or Beneficial Owners) the Depositary deems such distribution not to be feasible,
the Depositary may adopt such method as it may deem equitable and practicable
for the purpose of effecting such distribution, including, but not limited to,
the public or private sale of the securities or property thus received, or any
part thereof, and the net proceeds of any such sale (net of the fees and
expenses of the Depositary as provided in Section 5.9) shall be distributed by
the Depositary to the Owners entitled thereto as in the case of a distribution
received in cash.

<PAGE>

        SECTION 4.3 Distributions in Shares.
                    ------------------------
          If any distribution upon any Deposited Securities consists of a
dividend in, or free distribution of, Shares, the Depositary may, and shall if
the Issuer shall so request, distribute to the Owners of outstanding Receipts
entitled thereto, in proportion to the number of American Depositary Shares
representing such Deposited Securities held by them respectively, additional
Receipts evidencing an aggregate number of American Depositary Shares
representing the amount of Shares received as such dividend or free
distribution, subject to the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement with
respect to the deposit of Shares and the issuance of American Depositary Shares
evidenced by Receipts, including the withholding of any tax or other
governmental charge as provided in Section 4.11 and the payment of fees and
expenses of the Depositary as provided in Section 5.9. In lieu of delivering
Receipts for fractional American Depositary Shares in any such case, the
Depositary shall sell the amount 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 4.1. If additional Receipts are not so
distributed, each American Depositary Share shall thenceforth also represent the
additional Shares distributed upon the Deposited Securities represented thereby.

        SECTION 4.4 Rights.
                    -------
          In the event that the Issuer shall offer or cause to be offered to the
holders of any Deposited Securities any rights to subscribe for additional
Shares or any rights of any other nature, the Depositary, after Consultation
with the Issuer, shall have discretion as to the procedure to be followed in
making such rights available to any Owners or in disposing of such rights on
behalf of any Owners and making the net proceeds available to such Owners or, if
by the terms of such rights offering or for any other reason, the Depositary may
not either make such rights available to any Owners or dispose of such rights
and make the net proceeds available to such Owners, then the Depositary shall
allow the rights to lapse. If at the time of the offering of any rights the
Depositary determines in its discretion that it is lawful and feasible to make
such rights available to all Owners or to certain Owners but not to other
Owners, the Depositary may distribute to

<PAGE>

any Owner to whom it determines the distribution to be lawful and feasible, in
proportion to the number of American Depositary Shares held by such Owner,
warrants or other instruments therefor in such form as it deems appropriate.

          In circumstances in which rights would otherwise not be distributed,
if an Owner of Receipts requests the distribution of warrants or other
instruments in order to exercise the rights allocable to the American Depositary
Shares of such Owner hereunder, the Depositary will make such rights available
to such Owner upon written notice from the Issuer to the Depositary that (a) the
Issuer has elected in its sole discretion to permit such rights to be exercised
and (b) such Owner has executed such documents as the Issuer has determined in
its sole discretion are reasonably required under applicable law.

          If the Depositary has distributed warrants or other instruments for
rights to all or certain Owners, then upon instruction from such an Owner
pursuant to such warrants or other instruments to the Depositary from such Owner
to exercise such rights, upon payment by such Owner to the Depositary for the
account of such Owner of an amount equal to the purchase price of the Shares to
be received upon the exercise of the rights, and upon payment of the fees and
expenses of the Depositary and any other charges as set forth in such warrants
or other instruments, the Depositary shall, on behalf of such Owner, exercise
the rights and purchase the Shares, and the Issuer shall cause the Shares so
purchased to be delivered to the Depositary on behalf of such Owner. As agent
for such Owner, the Depositary will cause the Shares so purchased to be
deposited pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Deposit Agreement, and shall, pursuant
to Section 2.3 of this Deposit Agreement, execute and deliver Receipts to such
Owner. In the case of a distribution pursuant to the second paragraph of this
section, such Receipts shall be legended in accordance with applicable U.S.
laws, and shall be subject to the appropriate restrictions on sale, deposit,
cancellation, and transfer under such laws.

          If the Depositary determines in its discretion that it is not lawful
and feasible to make such rights available to all or certain Owners, it may sell
the rights,

<PAGE>

warrants or other instruments in proportion to the number of American Depositary
Shares held by the Owners to whom it has determined it may not lawfully or
feasibly make such rights available, and allocate the net proceeds of such sales
(net of the fees and expenses of the Depositary as provided in Section 5.9 and
all taxes and governmental charges payable in connection with such rights and
subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement) for the account
of such Owners otherwise entitled to such rights, warrants or other instruments,
upon an averaged or other practical basis without regard to any distinctions
among such Owners because of exchange restrictions or the date of delivery of
any Receipt or otherwise.

          The Depositary will not offer rights to Owners unless both the rights
and the securities to which such rights relate are either exempt from
registration under the Securities Act with respect to a distribution to Owners
or are registered under the provisions of such Act; provided, that nothing in
this Deposit Agreement shall create any obligation on the part of the Issuer to
file a registration statement with respect to such rights or underlying
securities or to endeavor to have such a registration statement declared
effective. If an Owner of Receipts requests distribution of warrants or other
instruments, notwithstanding that there has been no such registration under the
Securities Act, the Depositary shall not effect such distribution unless it has
received an opinion from recognized counsel in the United States for the Issuer
upon which the Depositary may rely that such distribution to such Owner is
exempt from such registration; provided, however, the Issuer shall have no
obligation to cause its counsel to issue such opinion at the request of such
Owner.

          The Depositary shall not be responsible for any failure to determine
that it may be lawful or feasible to make such rights available to Owners in
general or any Owner in particular.

        SECTION 4.5 Conversion of Foreign Currency.
                    -------------------------------
          Whenever the Depositary or the Custodian shall receive foreign
currency, by way of dividends or other distributions or the net proceeds from
the sale of securities,

<PAGE>

property or rights, and if at the time of the receipt thereof the foreign
currency so received can in the judgment of the Depositary be converted on a
reasonable basis into Dollars and the resulting Dollars transferred to the
United States, the Depositary shall convert or cause to be converted, by sale or
in any other manner that it may determine, such foreign currency into Dollars,
and such Dollars shall be distributed to the Owners entitled thereto or, if the
Depositary shall have distributed any warrants or other instruments which
entitle the holders thereof to such Dollars, then to the holders of such
warrants and/or instruments upon surrender thereof for cancellation. Such
distribution may be made upon an averaged or other practicable basis without
regard to any distinctions among Owners on account of exchange restrictions, the
date of delivery of any Receipt or otherwise and shall be net of any expenses of
conversion into Dollars incurred by the Depositary as provided in Section 5.9.

          If such conversion or distribution can be effected only with the
approval or license of any government or agency thereof, the Depositary shall
file such application for approval or license, if any, as it may deem desirable.

          If at any time the Depositary shall determine that in its judgment any
foreign currency received by the Depositary or the Custodian is not convertible
on a reasonable basis into Dollars transferable to the United States, or if any
approval or license of any government or agency thereof which is required for
such conversion is denied or in the opinion of the Depositary is not obtainable
without excessively burdensome or otherwise unreasonable efforts, or if any such
approval or license is not obtained within a reasonable period as determined by
the Depositary, or if there are foreign exchange controls in place that prohibit
such conversion, the Depositary may distribute the foreign currency (or an
appropriate document evidencing the right to receive such foreign currency)
received by the Depositary to, or in its discretion may hold such foreign
currency uninvested and without liability for interest thereon for the
respective accounts of, the Owners entitled to receive the same.

<PAGE>

          If any such conversion of foreign currency, in whole or in part,
cannot be effected for distribution to some of the Owners entitled thereto, the
Depositary may in its discretion make such conversion and distribution in
Dollars to the extent permissible to the Owners entitled thereto and may
distribute the balance of the foreign currency received by the Depositary to, or
hold such balance uninvested and without liability for interest thereon for the
respective accounts of, the Owners entitled thereto.

        SECTION 4.6 Fixing of Record Date.
                    ----------------------
          Whenever any cash dividend or other cash distribution shall become
payable or any distribution other than cash shall be made, or whenever rights
shall be issued with respect to the Deposited Securities, or whenever for any
reason the Depositary causes a change in the number of Shares that are
represented by each American Depositary Share, or whenever the Depositary shall
receive notice of any meeting of holders of Shares or other Deposited Securities
or whenever the Depositary shall find it necessary or convenient, the Depositary
shall fix a record date, which date shall be the same date, to the extent
practicable, as the record date for the Deposited Securities or if different, as
close thereto as practicable (a) for the determination of the Owners who shall
be (i) entitled to receive such dividend, distribution or rights or the net
proceeds of the sale thereof or (ii) entitled to give instructions for the
exercise of voting rights at any such meeting, or (b) on or after which each
American Depositary Share will represent the changed number of Shares, or (c)
for any other matter. Subject to the provisions of Sections 4.1 through 4.5 and
to the other terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, the Owners on such
record date shall be entitled, as the case may be, 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 and to give
voting instructions and to act in respect of any other such matter.

<PAGE>

        SECTION 4.7 Voting of Deposited Securities.
                    -------------------------------
          Upon receipt of notice of any meeting of holders of Shares or other
Deposited Securities, if requested in writing by the Issuer the Depositary
shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, mail to the Owners a notice, the form
of which notice shall contain (a) such information as is contained in such
notice of meeting, and (b) a statement that the Owners as of the close of
business on a specified record date will be entitled, subject to any applicable
provision of Hong Kong and Cayman Islands law and of the Memorandum and Articles
of Association of the Issuer, to instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of
the voting rights, if any, pertaining to the amount of Shares or other Deposited
Securities represented by their respective American Depositary Shares and (c) a
statement as to the manner in which such instructions may be given. Upon the
written request of an Owner on such record date, received on or before the date
established by the Depositary for such purpose, (the "Instruction Date") the
Depositary shall endeavor, in so far as practicable, to vote or cause to be
voted the amount of Shares or other Deposited Securities represented by the
American Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt in accordance with the
instructions set forth in such request. The Depositary shall not vote or attempt
to exercise the right to vote that attaches to the Shares or other Deposited
Securities, other than in accordance with such instructions.
<PAGE>


          There can be no assurance that Owners generally or any Owner in
particular will receive the notice described in the preceding paragraph
sufficiently prior to the Instruction Date to ensure that the Depositary will
vote the Shares or Deposited Securities in accordance with the provisions set
forth in the preceding paragraph.

        SECTION 4.8 Changes Affecting Deposited Securities.
                    ---------------------------------------
          In circumstances where the provisions of Section 4.3 do not apply,
upon any change in nominal value, change in par value, split-up, consolidation
or any other reclassification of Deposited Securities, or upon any
recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale of assets
affecting the Issuer 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
in respect of Deposited Securities, shall be treated as new Deposited Securities
under this Deposit Agreement, and American Depositary Shares shall thenceforth
represent, in addition to the existing Deposited Securities, if any, the new
Deposited Securities so received in exchange or conversion, unless additional
Receipts are delivered pursuant to the following sentence. In any such case the
Depositary may, and shall at the Issuer's request, execute and deliver
additional Receipts as in the case of a dividend in Shares, or call for the
surrender of outstanding Receipts to be exchanged for new Receipts specifically
describing such new Deposited Securities.

        SECTION 4.9 Reports.
                    --------
          The Depositary shall make available for inspection by Owners at its
Corporate Trust Office any reports and communications, including any proxy
soliciting material, received from the Issuer which are both (a) received by the
Depositary as the holder of the Deposited Securities and (b) made generally
available to the holders of such Deposited Securities by the Issuer. The
Depositary shall also, upon written request, send


<PAGE>

to the Owners copies of such reports furnished by the Issuer pursuant to Section
5.6. Any such reports and communications, including any such proxy soliciting
material, furnished to the Depositary by the Issuer shall be furnished in
English.


        SECTION 4.10 Lists of Owners.
                     ----------------
          Promptly upon request by the Issuer, the Depositary shall, at the
expense of the Issuer, furnish to it a list, as of a recent date, of the names,
addresses and holdings of American Depositary Shares by all persons in whose
names Receipts are registered on the books of the Depositary.

        SECTION 4.11 Withholding.
                     ------------
          The Issuer or its agent will remit to the appropriate governmental
agency in the Cayman Islands all amounts withheld and owing to such agency. The
Depositary will forward to the Issuer or its agent such information from its
records as the Issuer may reasonably request to enable the Issuer or its agent
to file necessary reports with governmental agencies, and the Depositary or the
Issuer or its agent may file any such reports necessary to obtain benefits under
the applicable tax treaties for the Owners of Receipts.

          In the event that the Depositary determines that any distribution in
property (including Shares and rights to subscribe therefor) is subject to any
tax or other governmental charge which the Depositary is obligated to withhold,
the Depositary may by public or private sale dispose of all or a portion of such
property (including Shares and rights to subscribe therefor) in such amounts and
in such manner as the Depositary deems necessary and practicable to pay any such
taxes or charges and the Depositary shall distribute the net proceeds of any
such sale after deduction of such taxes or charges to the Owners entitled
thereto in proportion to the number of American Depositary Shares held by them
respectively.

<PAGE>

ARTICLE 5. THE DEPOSITARY, THE CUSTODIANS AND THE ISSUER.

        SECTION 5.1 Maintenance of Office and Transfer Books by the Depositary.
                    -----------------------------------------------------------
          Until termination of this Deposit Agreement in accordance with its
terms, the Depositary shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of
New York, facilities for the execution and delivery, registration, registration
of transfers and surrender of Receipts in accordance with the provisions of this
Deposit Agreement.

          The Depositary shall keep books at its Corporate Trust Office for the
registration of Receipts and transfers of Receipts which at all reasonable times
shall be open for inspection by the Owners and the Issuer, provided that such
inspection shall not be for the purpose of communicating with Owners in the
interest of a business or object other than the business of the Issuer or a
matter related to this Deposit Agreement or the Receipts.

          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 or at the reasonable written request of the Issuer.

          If any Receipts or the American Depositary Shares evidenced thereby
are listed on one or more stock exchanges in the United States, the Depositary
shall act as Registrar or appoint, with prompt written notice provided to the
Issuer, a Registrar or one or more co-registrars for registry of such Receipts
in accordance with any requirements of such exchange or exchanges. Each
co-registrar or other agent appointed under this Section 5.1 shall give notice
in writing to the Issuer and the Depositary accepting such appointment and
agreeing to abide by the applicable terms of this Deposit Agreement.

        SECTION 5.2 Prevention or Delay in Performance by the Depositary or the
                    -----------------------------------------------------------
Issuer.
-------
          Neither the Depositary nor the Issuer nor any of their respective
directors, officers, employees, agents or affiliates shall incur any liability
to any Owner or Beneficial Owner of any Receipt, if by reason of any provision
of any present or future

<PAGE>

law or regulation of the United States, the People's Republic of China or any
other country, or of any governmental or regulatory authority or stock exchange,
or by reason of any provision, present or future, of the Memorandum and Articles
of Association of the Issuer, or by reason of any provision of any securities
issued or distributed by the Issuer, or any offering or distribution thereof, or
by reason of any act of God or war or terrorism or other circumstances beyond
its control, the Depositary or the Issuer shall be prevented, delayed or
forbidden from, or be subject to any civil or criminal penalty on account of,
doing or performing any act or thing which by the terms of this Deposit
Agreement or the Deposited Securities it is provided shall be done or performed;
nor shall the Depositary or the Issuer or any of their respective directors,
officers, employees, agents or affiliates incur any liability to any Owner or
Beneficial Owner of any Receipt by reason of any non-performance or delay,
caused as aforesaid, in the performance of any act or thing which by the terms
of this 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 this Deposit Agreement. Where, by the terms of a distribution pursuant to
Sections 4.1, 4.2, or 4.3 of the Deposit Agreement, or an offering or
distribution pursuant to Section 4.4 of the Deposit Agreement, or for any other
reason, such distribution or offering may not be made available to Owners, and
the Depositary may not dispose of such distribution or offering on behalf of
such Owners and make the net proceeds available to such Owners, then the
Depositary shall not make such distribution or offering, and shall allow any
rights, if applicable, to lapse, in each such case without liability to the
Issuer or the Depositary.

        SECTION 5.3 Obligations of the Depositary, the Custodian and the Issuer.
                    ------------------------------------------------------------
          Neither the Issuer, nor its directors, officers, employees and agents
assume any obligation nor shall it or any of them be subject to any liability
under this Deposit Agreement to Owners or Beneficial Owners, except that the
Issuer agrees to perform its obligations specifically set forth in this Deposit
Agreement without negligence or bad faith.

<PAGE>

          Neither the Depositary nor its directors, officers, employees and
agents assume any obligation nor shall it or any of them be subject to any
liability under this Deposit Agreement to any Owner or Beneficial Owner of any
Receipt (including, without limitation, liability with respect to the validity
or worth of the Deposited Securities), except that the Depositary agrees to
perform its obligations specifically set forth in this Deposit Agreement without
negligence or bad faith.

          Neither the Depositary nor the Issuer shall be under any obligation to
appear in, prosecute or defend any action, suit or other proceeding in respect
of any Deposited Securities 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 and liability shall be furnished as often as may be
required, and the Custodian shall not be under any obligation whatsoever with
respect to such proceedings, the responsibility of the Custodian being solely to
the Depositary.

          Neither the Depositary nor the Issuer shall be liable for any action
or nonaction by it in reliance upon the advice of or information from legal
counsel, accountants, any person presenting Shares for deposit, any Owner or any
other person believed by it in good faith to be competent to give such advice or
information.

          The Depositary shall not be liable for any acts or omissions made by a
successor depositary whether in connection with a previous act or omission of
the Depositary or in connection with any matter arising wholly after the removal
or resignation of the Depositary, provided that in connection with the issue out
of which such potential liability arises the Depositary performed its
obligations without negligence or bad faith while it acted as Depositary.

          The Depositary shall not be responsible for any failure to carry out
any instructions to vote any of the Deposited Securities, or for the manner in
which any such vote is cast or the effect of any such vote, provided that any
such action or nonaction is in good faith.

<PAGE>

          No disclaimer of liability under the Securities Act of 1933 is
intended by any provision of this Deposit Agreement.

        SECTION 5.4 Resignation and Removal of the Depositary.
                    ------------------------------------------
          The Depositary may at any time resign as Depositary hereunder by
written notice of its election so to do delivered to the Issuer, such
resignation to take effect upon the appointment of a successor depositary and
its acceptance of such appointment as hereinafter provided.

          The Depositary may at any time be removed by the Issuer by 90 days
prior written notice of such removal, which shall become effective upon the
later to occur of (i) the 90th day after delivery of the notice to the
Depositary or (ii) the appointment of a successor depositary and its acceptance
of such appointment as hereinafter provided.

          In case at any time the Depositary acting hereunder shall resign or be
removed, the Issuer shall use reasonable efforts to appoint a successor
depositary, which shall be a bank or trust company having an office in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. Every successor depositary shall
execute and deliver to its predecessor and to the Issuer an instrument in
writing accepting its appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor
depositary, without any further act or deed, shall become fully vested with all
the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor; but such
predecessor, nevertheless, upon payment of all sums due it and on the written
request of the Issuer shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to
such successor all rights and powers of such predecessor hereunder, shall duly
assign, transfer and deliver all right, title and interest in the Deposited
Securities to such successor, and shall deliver to such successor a list of the
Owners of all outstanding Receipts. Any such successor depositary shall promptly
mail notice of its appointment to the Owners.

          Any corporation into or with which the Depositary may be merged or
consolidated shall be the successor of the Depositary without the execution or
filing of any document or any further act.

<PAGE>

        SECTION 5.5 The Custodians.
                    ---------------
          The Custodian shall be subject at all times and in all respects to the
directions of the Depositary and shall be responsible solely to it. Any
Custodian may resign and be discharged from its duties hereunder by notice of
such resignation delivered to the Depositary at least 30 days prior to the date
on which such resignation is to become effective. If upon such resignation there
shall be no Custodian acting hereunder, the Depositary shall, promptly after
receiving such notice, appoint a substitute custodian or custodians, each of
which shall thereafter be a Custodian hereunder. Whenever the Depositary in its
discretion determines that it is in the best interest of the Owners to do so, it
may appoint a substitute or additional custodian or custodians, each of which
shall thereafter be one of the Custodians hereunder. Upon demand of the
Depositary any Custodian shall deliver such of the Deposited Securities held by
it as are requested of it to any other Custodian or such substitute or
additional custodian or custodians. Each such substitute or additional custodian
shall deliver to the Depositary, forthwith upon its appointment, an acceptance
of such appointment satisfactory in form and substance to the Depositary.

          Upon the appointment of any successor depositary hereunder, each
Custodian then acting hereunder shall forthwith become, without any further act
or writing, the agent hereunder of such successor depositary and the appointment
of such successor depositary shall in no way impair the authority of each
Custodian hereunder; but the successor depositary so appointed shall,
nevertheless, on the written request of any Custodian, execute and deliver to
such Custodian all such instruments as may be proper to give to such Custodian
full and complete power and authority as agent hereunder of such successor
depositary.

        SECTION 5.6 Notices and Reports.
                    --------------------
          On or before the first date on which the Issuer gives notice, by
publication or otherwise, of any meeting of holders of Shares or other Deposited
Securities, or of any adjourned meeting of such holders, or of the taking of any
action in respect of any cash or

<PAGE>

other distributions or the offering of any rights, the Issuer agrees to transmit
to the Depositary and the Custodian a copy of the notice thereof in the form
given or to be given to holders of Shares or other Deposited Securities.

          The Issuer will arrange for the translation into English, if not
already in English, to the extent required pursuant to any regulation of the
Commission, and the prompt transmittal by the Issuer to the Depositary and the
Custodian of such notices and any other reports and communications which are
made generally available by the Issuer to holders of its Shares. If requested in
writing by the Issuer, the Depositary will arrange for the mailing, at the
Issuer's expense, of copies of such notices, reports and communications to all
Owners. The Issuer will timely provide the Depositary with the quantity of such
notices, reports, and communications, as requested by the Depositary from time
to time, in order for the Depositary to effect such mailings.

        SECTION 5.7 Distribution of Additional Shares, Rights, etc.
                    -----------------------------------------------
          The Issuer agrees that in the event of any issuance or distribution of
(1) additional Shares, (2) rights to subscribe for Shares, (3) securities
convertible into Shares, or (4) rights to subscribe for such securities, (each a
"Distribution") the Issuer will promptly furnish to the Depositary a written
opinion from U.S. counsel for the Issuer, which counsel shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Depositary, stating whether or not the Distribution requires
a Registration Statement under the Securities Act to be in effect prior to
making such Distribution available to Owners entitled thereto. If in the opinion
of such counsel a Registration Statement is required, such counsel shall furnish
to the Depositary a written opinion as to whether or not there is a Registration
Statement in effect which will cover such Distribution.

          The Issuer agrees with the Depositary that neither the Issuer nor any
company controlled by, controlling or under common control with the Issuer will
at any time deposit any Shares, either originally issued or previously issued
and reacquired by the Issuer or any such affiliate, unless a Registration
Statement is in effect as to such Shares under the Securities Act.

<PAGE>

        SECTION 5.8 Indemnification.
                    ----------------
          The Issuer agrees to indemnify the Depositary, its directors,
employees, agents and affiliates and any Custodian against, and hold each of
them harmless from, any liability or expense (including, but not limited to, the
fees and expenses of counsel) which may arise out of any registration with the
Commission of Receipts, American Depositary Shares or Deposited Securities or
the offer or sale thereof in the United States or out of acts performed or
omitted, in accordance with the provisions of this Deposit Agreement and of the
Receipts, as the same may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to
time, (i) by either the Depositary or a Custodian or their respective directors,
employees, agents and affiliates, except for any liability or expense arising
out of the negligence or bad faith of either of them, or (ii) by the Issuer or
any of its directors, employees, agents and affiliates.

          The Depositary agrees to indemnify the Issuer, its directors,
employees, agents and affiliates and hold them harmless from any liability or
expense which may arise out of acts performed or omitted by the Depositary or
its Custodian or their respective directors, employees, agents and affiliates
due to their negligence or bad faith.

          If an action, proceeding (including, but not limited to, any
governmental investigation), claim or dispute (collectively, a "Proceeding") in
respect of which indemnity may be sought by either party is brought or asserted
against the other party, the party seeking indemnification (the "Indemnitee")
shall promptly (and in no event more than ten (10) days after receipt of notice
of such Proceeding) notify the party obligated to provide such indemnification
(the "Indemnitor") of such Proceeding. The failure of the Indemnitee to so
notify the Indemnitor shall not impair the Indemnitee's ability to seek
indemnification from the Indemnitor (but only for costs, expenses and
liabilities incurred after such notice) unless such failure adversely affects
the Indemnitor's ability to adequately oppose or defend such Proceeding. Upon
receipt of such notice from the Indemnitee, the Indemnitor shall be entitled to
participate in such Proceeding and, to the extent that it shall so desire and
provided no conflict of interest exists as specified in

<PAGE>

subparagraph (b) below or there are no other defenses available to Indemnitee as
specified in subparagraph (d) below, to assume the defense thereof with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee (in which case all attorney's fees and
expenses shall be borne by the Indemnitor and the Indemnitor shall in good faith
defend the Indemnitee). The Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate
counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but
the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the Indemnitee unless
(a) the Indemnitor agrees in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (b) the
Indemnitee shall have reasonably and in good faith concluded that there is a
conflict of interest between the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee in the conduct of
the defense of such action, (c) the Indemnitor fails, within ten (10) days prior
to the date the first response or appearance is required to be made in such
Proceeding, to assume the defense of such Proceeding with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnitee or (d) there are legal defenses available to
Indemnitee that are different from or are in addition to those available to the
Indemnitor. No compromise or settlement of such Proceeding may be effected by
either party without the other party's consent unless (i) there is no finding or
admission of any violation of law and no effect on any other claims that may be
made against such other party and (ii) the sole relief provided is monetary
damages that are paid in full by the party seeking the settlement. Neither party
shall have any liability with respect to any compromise or settlement effected
without its consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnitor
shall have no obligation to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitee from any
loss, expense or liability incurred by the Indemnitee as a result of a default
judgment entered against the Indemnitee unless such judgment was entered after
the Indemnitor agreed, in writing, to assume the defense of such Proceeding.

        SECTION 5.9 Charges of Depositary.
                    ----------------------
          The Issuer agrees to pay the fees, reasonable expenses and
out-of-pocket charges of the Depositary and those of any Registrar only in
accordance with agreements in writing entered into between the Depositary and
the Issuer from time to time. The Depositary shall present its statement for
such charges and expenses to the Issuer once

account of the Depositary.

          The following charges shall be incurred by any party depositing or
withdrawing Shares or by any party surrendering Receipts or to whom Receipts are
issued (including, without limitation, issuance pursuant to a stock dividend or
stock split declared by the Issuer or an exchange of stock regarding the
Receipts or Deposited Securities or a distribution of Receipts pursuant to
Section 4.3), or by Owners, as applicable: (1) taxes, stamp duty and other
governmental charges, (2) such registration fees as may from time to time be in
effect for the registration of transfers of Shares generally on the Share
register of the Issuer or Foreign Registrar and applicable to transfers of
Shares to or from the name of the Depositary or its nominee or the Custodian or
its nominee on the making of deposits or withdrawals hereunder, (3) such cable,
telex and facsimile transmission expenses as are expressly provided in this
Deposit Agreement, (4) such expenses as are incurred by the Depositary in the
conversion of foreign currency pursuant to Section 4.5, (5) a fee of $5.00 or
less per 100 American Depositary Shares (or portion thereof) for the execution
and delivery of Receipts pursuant to Section 2.3, 4.3 or 4.4 and the surrender
of Receipts pursuant to Section 2.5 or 6.2, (6) a fee of $.02 or less per
American Depositary Share (or portion thereof) for any cash distribution made
pursuant to the Deposit Agreement, including, but not limited to Sections 4.1
through 4.4 hereof, (7) a fee for the distribution of securities pursuant to
Section 4.2, such fee being in an amount equal to the fee for the execution and
delivery of American Depositary Shares referred to above which would have been
charged as a result of the deposit of such securities (for purposes of this
clause 7 treating all such securities as if they were Shares) but which
securities are instead distributed by the Depositary to Owners, (8) a fee of
$.02 or less per American Depositary Share (or portion thereof) for depositary
services, which will accrue on the last day of each calendar year and which will
be payable as provided in clause (9) below; provided, however, that no fee will
be assessed under this clause (8) to the extent a fee of $.02 was charged
pursuant to clause (6) above during that calendar year and (9) any other charge
payable by the Depositary, any of the Depositary's agents,

<PAGE>

including the Custodian, or the agents of the Depositary's agents in connection
with the servicing of Shares or other Deposited Securities (which charge shall
be assessed against Owners as of the date or dates set by the Depositary in
accordance with Section 4.6 and shall be payable at the sole discretion of the
Depositary by billing such Owners for such charge or by deducting such charge
from one or more cash dividends or other cash distributions).

          The Depositary, subject to Section 2.9 hereof, may own and deal in any
class of securities of the Issuer and its affiliates and in Receipts.

        SECTION 5.10 Retention of Depositary Documents.
                     ----------------------------------
          The Depositary is authorized to destroy those documents, records,
bills and other data compiled during the term of this Deposit Agreement at the
times permitted by the laws or regulations governing the Depositary unless the
Issuer requests that such papers be retained for a longer period or turned over
to the Issuer or to a successor depositary.

        SECTION 5.11 Exclusivity.
                     ------------
          The Issuer agrees not to appoint any other depositary for issuance of
American Depositary Receipts so long as The Bank of New York is acting as
Depositary hereunder.

        SECTION 5.12 List of Restricted Securities Owners.
                     -------------------------------------
          From time to time, the Issuer shall provide to the Depositary a list
setting forth, to the actual knowledge of the Issuer, those persons or entities
who beneficially own Restricted Securities. The Issuer agrees to advise in
writing each of the persons or entities so listed that such Restricted
Securities are ineligible for deposit hereunder. The Depositary may rely on such
a list or update but shall not be liable for any action or omission made in
reliance thereon.

ARTICLE 6. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION.

        SECTION 6.1 Amendment.
                    ----------
          The form of the Receipts and any provisions of this Deposit Agreement
may at any time and from time to time be amended by agreement between the Issuer
and the Depositary without the consent of Owners and Beneficial Owners in any
respect which they may deem necessary or desirable. Any amendment which shall
impose or increase any fees or charges (other than taxes and other governmental
charges, registration fees, cable, telex or facsimile transmission costs,
delivery costs or other such expenses), or which shall otherwise prejudice any
substantial existing right of Owners, shall, however, not become effective as to
outstanding Receipts until the expiration of thirty days after notice of such
amendment shall have been given to the Owners of outstanding Receipts. Every
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 Owner of any Receipt to surrender such Receipt
and receive therefor the Deposited Securities represented thereby, except in
order to comply with mandatory provisions of applicable law.

        SECTION 6.2 Termination.
                    ------------
          The Depositary shall at any time at the direction of the Issuer
terminate this Deposit Agreement by mailing notice of such termination to the
Owners of all Receipts then outstanding at least 90 days prior to the date fixed
in such notice for such termination. The Depositary may likewise terminate this
Deposit Agreement by mailing notice of such termination to the Issuer and the
Owners of all Receipts then outstanding if at any time 90 days shall have
expired after the Depositary shall have delivered to the Issuer a written notice
of its election to resign and a successor depositary shall not have been
appointed and accepted its appointment as provided in Section 5.4. On and after
the date of termination, the Owner of a Receipt will, upon (a) surrender of such
Receipt at the Corporate Trust Office of the Depositary, (b) payment of the fee
of the Depositary for the surrender of Receipts referred to in Section 2.5, and
(c) payment of any applicable taxes

<PAGE>

or governmental charges, be entitled to delivery, to him or upon his order, of
the amount of Deposited Securities represented by the American Depositary Shares
evidenced by such Receipt. If any Receipts shall remain outstanding after the
date of termination, the Depositary thereafter shall discontinue the
registration of transfers of Receipts, shall suspend the distribution of
dividends to the Owners thereof, and shall not give any further notices or
perform any further acts under this Deposit Agreement, except that the
Depositary shall continue to collect dividends and other distributions
pertaining to Deposited Securities, shall sell rights and other property as
provided in this Deposit Agreement, and shall continue to deliver Deposited
Securities, 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, in each case, the fee of the Depositary for the surrender of a
Receipt, any expenses for the account of the Owner of such Receipt in accordance
with the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, and any applicable
taxes or governmental charges). At any time after the expiration of one year
from the date of termination, 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, unsegregated
and without liability for interest, for the pro rata benefit of the Owners of
Receipts which have not theretofore been surrendered, such Owners 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 this Deposit Agreement, except for its obligations to the Issuer under
Section 5.8 and to account for such net proceeds and other cash (after
deducting, in each case, the fee of the Depositary for the surrender of a
Receipt, any expenses for the account of the Owner of such Receipt in accordance
with the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, and any applicable
taxes or governmental charges). Upon the termination of this Deposit Agreement,
the Issuer shall be discharged from all obligations under this Deposit Agreement
except for its obligations to the Depositary under Sections 5.8 and 5.9 hereof.

          In the event the Depositary is advised that a judgment of a United

          (i) Any controversy, claim or cause of action brought by any party or
parties hereto against any other party or parties hereto arising out of or
relating to the Deposit Agreement shall be settled by arbitration in accordance

                                                        ------------------------


1.        THE DEPOSIT AGREEMENT.
          ---------------------
          This American Depositary Receipt is one of an issue (herein called
"Receipts"), all issued and to be issued upon the terms and conditions set forth
in the deposit agreement, dated as of ________, 2003 (herein called the "Deposit
Agreement"), by and among the Company, the Depositary, and all Owners 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 become bound by all
the terms and conditions thereof. The Deposit Agreement sets forth the rights of
Owners and Beneficial Owners of the Receipts 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 Securities"). Copies of the Deposit Agreement are on
file at the Depositary's Corporate Trust Office in New York City and at the
office of the Custodian.

          The statements made on the face and reverse of this Receipt are
summaries of certain provisions of the Deposit Agreement and are qualified by
and subject to the detailed provisions of the Deposit Agreement, to which
reference is hereby made. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the
meanings set forth in the Deposit Agreement.

2.        SURRENDER OF RECEIPTS AND WITHDRAWAL OF SHARES.
          ----------------------------------------------
          Upon surrender at the Corporate Trust Office of the Depositary of this
Receipt, and upon payment of the fee of the Depositary provided in this Receipt,
and subject to the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement, the Owner
hereof is entitled to delivery, to him or upon his order, of the amount of
Deposited Securities at the time represented by the American Depositary Shares
for which this Receipt is issued. Delivery of such Deposited Securities may be
made by the delivery of (a) Shares in the name of the Owner hereof or as ordered
by him or by certificates properly endorsed or accompanied by proper instruments
of transfer to such Owner or as ordered by him and (b) any other securities,
property and cash to which such Owner is then entitled in respect of this
Receipt to such Owner or as ordered by him. Such delivery will be made at the
option of the Owner hereof, either at the office of the Custodian or at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Depositary, provided that the forwarding of
certificates for Shares or other Deposited Securities for such delivery at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Depositary shall be at the risk and expense of the
Owner hereof. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Deposit Agreement or
this Receipt, the surrender of outstanding Receipts and withdrawal of Deposited
Securities may be suspended only for (i) temporary delays caused by closing the
transfer books of the Depositary or the Company 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 Securities.

3.        TRANSFERS, SPLIT-UPS, AND COMBINATIONS OF RECEIPTS.
          --------------------------------------------------

<PAGE>

          The transfer of this Receipt is registrable on the books of the
Depositary at its Corporate Trust Office by the Owner hereof in person or by a
duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Receipt properly endorsed for
transfer or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer and funds sufficient
to pay any applicable transfer taxes and the expenses of the Depositary and upon
compliance with such regulations, if any, as the Depositary may establish for
such purpose. This Receipt may be split into other such Receipts, or may be
combined with other such Receipts into one Receipt, evidencing the same
aggregate number of American Depositary Shares as the Receipt or Receipts
surrendered. As a condition precedent to the execution and delivery,
registration of transfer, split-up, combination, or surrender of any Receipt or
withdrawal of any Deposited Securities, the Depositary, the Custodian, or
Registrar may require payment from the depositor of Shares or the presenter of
the Receipt of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any tax, stamp duty or other
governmental charge and any stock transfer or registration fee with respect
thereto (including any such tax or charge and fee with respect to Shares being
deposited or withdrawn) and payment of any applicable fees as provided in this
Receipt, may require the production of proof satisfactory to it as to the
identity and genuineness of any signature and may also require compliance with
any regulations the Depositary may establish consistent with the provisions of
the Deposit Agreement or this Receipt.

          The delivery of Receipts against deposits of Shares generally or
against deposits of particular Shares may be suspended, or the transfer of
Receipts in particular instances may be refused, or the registration of transfer
of outstanding Receipts generally may be suspended, during any period when the
transfer books of the Depositary are closed, or if any such action is deemed
necessary or advisable by the Depositary or the Company at any time or from time
to time because of any requirement of law or of any government or governmental
body or commission, or under any provision of the Deposit Agreement or this
Receipt, or for any other reason, subject to Article (23) hereof. Without
limitation of the foregoing, the Depositary shall not knowingly accept for
deposit under the Deposit Agreement any Shares required to be registered under
the provisions of the Securities Act, unless a registration statement is in
effect as to such Shares.

4.        LIABILITY OF OWNER FOR TAXES.
          ----------------------------
          If any tax or other governmental charge shall become payable with
respect to any Receipt or any Deposited Securities represented hereby, such tax
or other governmental charge shall be payable by the Owner hereof to the
Depositary. The Depositary may refuse to effect any transfer of this Receipt or
any withdrawal of Deposited Securities represented by American Depositary Shares
evidenced by such Receipt until such payment is made, and may withhold any
dividends or other distributions, or may sell for the account of the Owner
hereof any part or all of the Deposited Securities represented by the American
Depositary Shares evidenced by this Receipt, and may apply such dividends or
other distributions or the proceeds of any such sale in payment of such tax or
other governmental charge and the Owner hereof shall remain liable for any
deficiency.

<PAGE>

5.        WARRANTIES OF DEPOSITORS.
          ------------------------
          Every person depositing Shares under the Deposit Agreement shall be
deemed thereby to represent and warrant that such Shares and each certificate
therefor, if applicable, are validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and free
of any pre-emptive rights of the holders of outstanding Shares and that the
person making such deposit is duly authorized so to do. Every such person shall
also be deemed to represent that the deposit of such Shares and the sale of
Receipts evidencing American Depositary Shares representing such Shares by that
person would not be Restricted Securities. Such representations and warranties
shall survive the deposit of Shares and issuance of Receipts.

6.        FILING PROOFS, CERTIFICATES, AND OTHER INFORMATION.
          --------------------------------------------------
          Any person presenting Shares for deposit or any Owner or Beneficial
Owner of a Receipt may be required from time to time to file with the Depositary
or the Custodian such proof of citizenship or residence, exchange control
approval, or such information relating to the registration on the books of the
Company or the Foreign Registrar, if applicable, to execute such certificates
and to make such representations and warranties, as the Depositary may deem
necessary or proper. The Depositary may withhold the delivery or registration of
transfer of any Receipt or the distribution of any dividend or sale or
distribution of rights or of the proceeds thereof or the delivery of any
Deposited Securities until such proof or other information is filed or such
certificates are executed or such representations and warranties made. If
requested in writing, the Depositary shall, as promptly as practicable, provide
the Company, at the expense of the Company, with copies of any such proofs,
certificates or other information it receives pursuant to this Article, unless
prohibited by applicable law. No Share shall be accepted for deposit unless
accompanied by evidence satisfactory to the Depositary that any necessary
approval has been granted by any governmental body the Cayman Islands or in Hong
Kong which is then performing the function of the regulation of currency
exchange.

7.        CHARGES OF DEPOSITARY.
          ---------------------
          The Company agrees to pay the fees, reasonable expenses and
out-of-pocket charges of the Depositary and those of any Registrar only in
accordance with agreements in writing entered into between the Depositary and
the Company from time to time. The Depositary shall present its statement for
such charges and expenses to the Company once every three months. The charges
and expenses of the Custodian are for the sole account of the Depositary.

          The following charges shall be incurred by any party depositing or
withdrawing Shares or by any party surrendering Receipts or to whom Receipts are
issued (including, without limitation, issuance pursuant to a stock dividend or
stock split declared by the Company or an exchange of stock regarding the
Receipts or Deposited Securities or a distribution of Receipts pursuant to
Section 4.3 of the Deposit Agreement), or by Owners, as applicable: (1) taxes,
stamp duty and other governmental charges, (2) such registration fees as may
from time to time be in effect for the registration of transfers of Shares

<PAGE>

generally on the Share register of the Company or Foreign Registrar and
applicable to transfers of Shares to or from the name of the Depositary or its
nominee or the Custodian or its nominee on the making of deposits or withdrawals
under the Deposit Agreement, (3) such cable, telex and facsimile transmission
expenses as are expressly provided in the Deposit Agreement, (4) such expenses
as are incurred by the Depositary in the conversion of foreign currency pursuant
to Section 4.5 of the Deposit Agreement, (5) a fee of $5.00 or less per 100
American Depositary Shares (or portion thereof) for the execution and delivery
of Receipts pursuant to Section 2.3, 4.3 or 4.4 of the Deposit Agreement and the
surrender of Receipts pursuant to Section 2.5 or 6.2 of the Deposit Agreement,
(6) a fee of $.02 or less per American Depositary Share (or portion thereof) for
any cash distribution made pursuant to the Deposit Agreement, including, but not
limited to Sections 4.1 through 4.4 of the Deposit Agreement, (7) a fee for the
distribution of securities pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Deposit Agreement,
such fee being in an amount equal to the fee for the execution and delivery of
American Depositary Shares referred to above which would have been charged as a
result of the deposit of such securities (for purposes of this clause 7 treating
all such securities as if they were Shares) but which securities are instead
distributed by the Depositary to Owners, (8) a fee of $.02 or less per American
Depositary Share (or portion thereof) for depositary services, which will accrue
on the last day of each calendar year and which will be payable as provided in
clause (9) below; provided, however, that no fee will be assessed under this
clause (8) to the extent a fee of $.02 was charged pursuant to clause (6) above
during that calendar year and (9) any other charge payable by the Depositary,
any of the Depositary's agents, including the Custodian, or the agents of the
Depositary's agents in connection with the servicing of Shares or other
Deposited Securities (which charge shall be assessed against Owners as of the
date or dates set by the Depositary in accordance with Section 4.6 of the
Deposit Agreement and shall be payable at the sole discretion of the Depositary
by billing such Owners for such charge or by deducting such charge from one or
more cash dividends or other cash distributions).

          The Depositary, subject to Section 2.9 of the Deposit Agreement and
Article 8 hereof, may own and deal in any class of securities of the Company and
its affiliates and in Receipts.

8.        PRE-RELEASE OF RECEIPTS.
          -----------------------
          The Depositary may issue Receipts against the delivery by the Company
(or any agent of the Company recording Share ownership) of rights to receive
Shares from the Company (or any such agent). No such issue of Receipts will be
deemed a "Pre-Release" that is subject to the restrictions of the following
paragraph.

          Unless requested in writing by the Company to cease doing so, the
Depositary may, notwithstanding Section 2.3 of the Deposit Agreement, execute
and deliver Receipts prior to the receipt of Shares pursuant to Section 2.2 of
the Deposit Agreement ("Pre-Release"). The Depositary may, pursuant to Section
2.5 of the Deposit Agreement, deliver Shares upon the receipt and cancellation
of Receipts which have been

<PAGE>

Pre-Released, whether or not such cancellation is prior to the termination of
such Pre-Release or the Depositary knows that such Receipt has been
Pre-Released. The Depositary may receive Receipts in lieu of Shares in
satisfaction of a Pre-Release. Each Pre-Release will be (a) preceded or
accompanied by a written representation and agreement from the person to whom
Receipts are to be delivered (the "Pre-Releasee") that the Pre-Releasee, or its
customer, (i) owns the Shares or Receipts to be remitted, as the case may be,
(ii) assigns all beneficial rights, title and interest in such Shares or
Receipts, as the case may be, to the Depositary in its capacity as such and for
the benefit of the Owners, and (iii) will not take any action with respect to
such Shares or Receipts, as the case may be, that is inconsistent with the
transfer of beneficial ownership (including, without the consent of the
Depositary, disposing of such Shares or Receipts, as the case may be), other
than in satisfaction of such Pre-Release, (b) at all times fully collateralized
with cash, U.S. government securities or such other collateral as the Depositary
determines, in good faith, will provide substantially similar liquidity and
security, (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 number of Shares not deposited but
represented by American Depositary Shares outstanding at any time as a result of
Pre-Releases will not normally exceed thirty percent (30%) of the Shares
deposited hereunder; provided, however, that the Depositary reserves the right
to disregard such limit from time to time as it deems reasonably appropriate,
and may, with the prior written consent of the Company, change such limit for
purposes of general application. The Depositary will also set Dollar limits with
respect to Pre-Release transactions to be entered into hereunder with any
particular Pre-Releasee on a case-by-case basis as the Depositary deems
appropriate. For purposes of enabling the Depositary to fulfill its obligations
to the Owners under the Deposit Agreement, the collateral referred to in clause
(b) above shall be held by the Depositary as security for the performance of the
Pre-Releasee's obligations to the Depositary in connection with a Pre-Release
transaction, including the Pre-Releasee's obligation to deliver Shares or
Receipts upon termination of a Pre-Release transaction (and shall not, for the
avoidance of doubt, constitute Deposited Securities hereunder).

          The Depositary may retain for its own account any compensation
received by it in connection with the foregoing.

9.        TITLE TO RECEIPTS.
          -----------------
          It is a condition of this Receipt and every successive Owner and
Beneficial Owner of this Receipt by accepting or holding the same consents and
agrees, that title to this Receipt when properly endorsed or accompanied by
proper instruments of transfer, is transferable by delivery with the same effect
as in the case of a negotiable instrument; under the laws of New York; provided,
however, that the Depositary, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, may
treat the person in whose name this Receipt is registered on the books of the
Depositary as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of determining the
person entitled to distribution of dividends or other distributions or to any
notice provided for in the Deposit Agreement and for all other purposes.

<PAGE>

10.       VALIDITY OF RECEIPT.
          -------------------
          This Receipt shall not be entitled to any benefits under the Deposit
Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless this Receipt shall
have been executed by the Depositary by the manual signature of a duly
authorized signatory of the Depositary; provided, however, that such signature
may be a facsimile if a Registrar for the Receipts shall have been appointed,
and such Receipts are countersigned by the manual or facsimile signature of a
duly authorized officer of the Registrar.

11.       REPORTS; INSPECTION OF TRANSFER BOOKS.
          -------------------------------------
          The Company is subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and, accordingly, files certain reports with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (hereinafter called the "Commission").

          Such reports and communications will be available for inspection and
copying at the public reference facilities maintained by the Commission located
at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549.

          The Depositary will make available for inspection by Owners of
Receipts at its Corporate Trust Office any reports and communications, including
any proxy soliciting material, received from the Company which are both (a)
received by the Depositary as the holder of the Deposited Securities and (b)
made generally available to the holders of such Deposited Securities by the
Company. The Depositary shall also, upon written request, send to the Owners of
Receipts copies of such reports when furnished by the Company pursuant to the
Deposit Agreement. Any such reports and communications, including any such proxy
soliciting material, furnished to the Depositary by the Company shall be
furnished in English to the extent such materials are required to be translated
into English pursuant to any regulation of the Commission.

          The Depositary shall keep books at its Corporate Trust Office for the
registration of Receipts and transfers of Receipts which at all reasonable times
shall be open for inspection by the Owners and the Company, provided that such
inspection shall not be for the purpose of communicating with Owners of Receipts
in the interest of a business or object other than the business of the Company
or a matter related to the Deposit Agreement or the Receipts.



12.       DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS.
          ---------------------------
          Whenever the Depositary shall receive any cash dividend or other cash
distribution on any Deposited Securities, the Depositary shall, 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 reasonable basis into United States
dollars transferable to the United States, and subject to the Deposit Agreement,
convert such dividend or distribution into Dollars and shall distribute the
amount thus received (net of the fees and expenses of the Depositary as provided
in the Deposit Agreement, if applicable) to the Owners of

<PAGE>

Receipts entitled thereto, provided, however, that in the event that the Company
or the Depositary shall be required to withhold and does withhold from such cash
dividend or such other cash distribution in respect of any Deposited Securities
an amount on account of taxes, the amount distributed to the Owners of the
Receipts evidencing American Depositary Shares representing such Deposited
Securities shall be reduced accordingly.

          Subject to the provisions of Sections 4.11 and 5.9 of the Deposit
Agreement, whenever the Depositary shall receive any distribution other than a
distribution described in Sections 4.1, 4.3 or 4.4 of the Deposit Agreement, the
Depositary shall cause the securities or property received by it to be
distributed to the Owners of Receipts entitled thereto, after deduction or upon
payment of any fees and expenses of the Depositary or any taxes or other
governmental charges, in any manner that the Depositary may deem equitable and
practicable for accomplishing such distribution; provided, however, that if in
the opinion of the Depositary such distribution cannot be made proportionately
among the Owners of Receipts entitled thereto, or if for any other reason the
Depositary deems such distribution not to be feasible, the Depositary may adopt
such method as it may deem equitable and practicable for the purpose of
effecting such distribution, including, but not limited to, the public or
private sale of the securities or property thus received, or any part thereof,
and the net proceeds of any such sale (net of the fees of the Depositary as
provided in Section 5.9 of the Deposit Agreement) shall be distributed by the
Depositary to the Owners of Receipts entitled thereto as in the case of a
distribution received in cash.

          If any distribution upon any Deposited Securities consists of a
dividend in, or free distribution of, Shares, the Depositary may, and shall if
the Company shall so request, distribute to the Owners of outstanding Receipts
entitled thereto, additional Receipts evidencing an aggregate number of American
Depositary Shares representing the amount of Shares received as such dividend or
free distribution, subject to the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement
with respect to the deposit of Shares and the issuance of American Depositary
Shares evidenced by Receipts, including the withholding of any tax or other
governmental charge as provided in Section 4.11 of the Deposit Agreement and the
payment of the fees and expenses of the Depositary as provided in Section 5.9 of
the Deposit Agreement. In lieu of delivering Receipts for fractional American
Depositary Shares in any such case, the Depositary shall sell the amount of
Shares represented by the aggregate of such fractions and distribute the net
proceeds, all in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in 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 Securities represented thereby.

          The Company or its agent will remit to the appropriate governmental
agency in the Cayman Islands all amounts withheld and owing to such agency. The
Depositary will forward to the Company or its agent such information from its
records as the Company may reasonably request to enable the Company or its agent
to file necessary reports with

<PAGE>

governmental agencies, and the Depositary or the Company or its agent may file
any such reports necessary to obtain benefits under the applicable tax treaties
for the Owners of Receipts. In the event that the Depositary determines that any
distribution in property (including Shares and rights to subscribe therefor) is
subject to any tax or other governmental charge which the Depositary is
obligated to withhold, the Depositary may by public or private sale dispose of
all or a portion of such property (including Shares and rights to subscribe
therefor) in such amounts and in such manner as the Depositary deems necessary
and practicable to pay any such taxes or charges and the Depositary shall
distribute the net proceeds of any such sale after deduction of such taxes or
charges to the Owners of Receipts entitled thereto.

13.       CONVERSION OF FOREIGN CURRENCY.
          ------------------------------
          Whenever the Depositary or the Custodian shall receive foreign
currency, by way of dividends or other distributions or the net proceeds from
the sale of securities, property or rights, and if at the time of the receipt
thereof the foreign currency so received can in the judgment of the Depositary
be converted on a reasonable basis into Dollars and the resulting Dollars
transferred to the United States, the Depositary shall convert or cause to be
converted, by sale or in any other manner that it may determine, such foreign
currency into Dollars, and such Dollars shall be distributed to the Owners
entitled thereto or, if the Depositary shall have distributed any warrants or
other instruments which entitle the holders thereof to such Dollars, then to the
holders of such warrants and/or instruments upon surrender thereof for
cancellation. Such distribution may be made upon an averaged or other
practicable basis without regard to any distinctions among Owners on account of
exchange restrictions, the date of delivery of any Receipt or otherwise and
shall be net of any expenses of conversion into Dollars incurred by the
Depositary as provided in Section 5.9 of the Deposit Agreement.

          If such conversion or distribution can be effected only with the
approval or license of any government or agency thereof, the Depositary shall
file such application for approval or license, if any, as it may deem desirable.

          If at any time the Depositary shall determine that in its judgment any
foreign currency received by the Depositary or the Custodian is not convertible
on a reasonable basis into Dollars transferable to the United States, or if any
approval or license of any government or agency thereof which is required for
such conversion is denied or in the opinion of the Depositary is not obtainable
without excessively burdensome or otherwise unreasonable efforts, or if any such
approval or license is not obtained within a reasonable period as determined by
the Depositary, or if there are foreign exchange controls in place that prohibit
such conversion, the Depositary may distribute the foreign currency (or an
appropriate document evidencing the right to receive such foreign currency)
received by the Depositary to, or in its discretion may hold such foreign
currency uninvested and without liability for interest thereon for the
respective accounts of, the Owners entitled to receive the same.

<PAGE>

          If any such conversion of foreign currency, in whole or in part,
cannot be effected for distribution to some of the Owners entitled thereto, the
Depositary may in its discretion make such conversion and distribution in
Dollars to the extent permissible to the Owners entitled thereto and may
distribute the balance of the foreign currency received by the Depositary to, or
hold such balance uninvested and without liability for interest thereon for the
respective accounts of, the Owners entitled thereto.

14.       RIGHTS.
          -------
          In the event that the Company shall offer or cause to be offered to
the holders of any Deposited Securities any rights to subscribe for additional
Shares or any rights of any other nature, the Depositary, after Consultation
with the Company shall have discretion as to the procedure to be followed in
making such rights available to any Owners or in disposing of such rights on
behalf of any Owners and making the net proceeds available to such Owners or, if
by the terms of such rights offering or for any other reason, the Depositary may
not either make such rights available to any Owners or dispose of such rights
and make the net proceeds available to such Owners, then the Depositary shall
allow the rights to lapse. If at the time of the offering of any rights the
Depositary determines in its discretion that it is lawful and feasible to make
such rights available to all Owners or to certain Owners but not to other
Owners, the Depositary may distribute, to any Owner to whom it determines the
distribution to be lawful and feasible, in proportion to the number of American
Depositary Shares held by such Owner, warrants or other instruments therefor in
such form as it deems appropriate.

          In circumstances in which rights would otherwise not be distributed,
if an Owner of Receipts requests the distribution of warrants or other
instruments in order to exercise the rights allocable to the American Depositary
Shares of such Owner under the Deposit Agreement, the Depositary will make such
rights available to such Owner upon written notice from the Company to the
Depositary that (a) the Company has elected in its sole discretion to permit
such rights to be exercised and (b) such Owner has executed such documents as
the Company has determined in its sole discretion are reasonably required under
applicable law.

          If the Depositary has distributed warrants or other instruments for
rights to all or certain Owners, then upon instruction from such an Owner
pursuant to such warrants or other instruments to the Depositary from such Owner
to exercise such rights, upon payment by such Owner to the Depositary for the
account of such Owner of an amount equal to the purchase price of the Shares to
be received upon the exercise of the rights, and upon payment of the fees and
expenses of the Depositary and any other charges as set forth in such warrants
or other instruments, the Depositary shall, on behalf of such Owner, exercise
the rights and purchase the Shares, and the Company shall cause the Shares so
purchased to be delivered to the Depositary on behalf of such Owner. As agent
for such Owner, the Depositary will cause the Shares so purchased to be
deposited pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Deposit Agreement, and shall, pursuant
to Section 2.3 of the Deposit Agreement, execute and deliver Receipts to such
Owner. In the case of a

<PAGE>

distribution pursuant to the second paragraph of this Article, such Receipts
shall be legended in accordance with applicable U.S. laws, and shall be subject
to the appropriate restrictions on sale, deposit, cancellation and transfer
under such laws.

          If the Depositary determines in its discretion that it is not lawful
and feasible to make such rights available to all or certain Owners, it may sell
the rights, warrants or other instruments in proportion to the number of
American Depositary Shares held by the Owners to whom it has determined it may
not lawfully or feasibly make such rights available, and allocate the net
proceeds of such sales (net of the fees and expenses of the Depositary as
provided in Section 5.9 of the Deposit Agreement and all taxes and governmental
charges payable in connection with such rights and subject to the terms and
conditions of the Deposit Agreement) for the account of such Owners otherwise
entitled to such rights, warrants or other instruments, upon an averaged or
other practical basis without regard to any distinctions among such Owners
because of exchange restrictions or the date of delivery of any Receipt or
otherwise.

          The Depositary will not offer rights to Owners unless both the rights
and the securities to which such rights relate are either exempt from
registration under the Securities Act with respect to a distribution to Owners
or are registered under the provisions of the Securities Act; provided, that
nothing in the Deposit Agreement shall create any obligation on the part of the
Company to file a registration statement with respect to such rights or
underlying securities or to endeavor to have such a registration statement
declared effective. If an Owner of Receipts requests distribution of warrants or
other instruments, notwithstanding that there has been no such registration
under such the Securities Act, the Depositary shall not effect such distribution
unless it has received an opinion from recognized counsel in the United States
for the Company upon which the Depositary may rely that such distribution to
such Owner is exempt from such registration; provided, however, the Company
shall have no obligation to cause its counsel to issue such opinion at the
request of such Owner.

          The Depositary shall not be responsible for any failure to determine
that it may be lawful or feasible to make such rights available to Owners in
general or any Owner in particular.

15.       RECORD DATES.
          ------------
          Whenever any cash dividend or other cash distribution shall become
payable or any distribution other than cash shall be made, or whenever rights
shall be issued with respect to the Deposited Securities, or whenever for any
reason the Depositary causes a change in the number of Shares that are
represented by each American Depositary Share, or whenever the Depositary shall
receive notice of any meeting of holders of Shares or other Deposited
Securities, or whenever the Depositary shall find it necessary or convenient,
the Depositary shall fix a record date, which date shall be the same date, to
the extent practicable, as the record date for the Deposited Securities or if
different, as close thereto as practicable (a) for the determination of the
Owners of Receipts who shall

<PAGE>

be (i) entitled to receive such dividend, distribution or rights or the net
proceeds of the sale thereof or (ii) entitled to give instructions for the
exercise of voting rights at any such meeting, or (b) on or after which each
American Depositary Share will represent the changed number of Shares, or (c)
for any other matter, subject to the provisions of the Deposit Agreement.

16.       VOTING OF DEPOSITED SECURITIES.
          ------------------------------
          Upon receipt of notice of any meeting of holders of Shares or other
Deposited Securities, if requested in writing by the Company, the Depositary
shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, mail to the Owners of Receipts a
notice, the form of which notice shall contain (a) such information as is
contained in such notice of meeting, (b) a statement that the Owners of Receipts
as of the close of business on a specified record date will be entitled, subject
to any applicable provision of Hong Kong and Cayman Islands law and of the
Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company, to instruct the
Depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights, if any, pertaining to the
amount of Shares or other Deposited Securities represented by their respective
American Depositary Shares and (c) a statement as to the manner in which such
instructions may be given. Upon the written request of an Owner of a Receipt on
such record date, received on or before the date established by the Depositary
for such purpose (the "Instruction Date"), the Depositary shall endeavor, in so
far as practicable to vote or cause to be voted the amount of Shares or other
Deposited Securities represented by the American Depositary Shares evidenced by
such Receipt in accordance with the instructions set forth in such request. The
Depositary shall not vote or attempt to exercise the right to vote that attaches
to the Shares or other Deposited Securities, other than in accordance with such
instructions.

          There can be no assurance that Owners generally or any Owner in
particular will receive the notice described in the preceding paragraph
sufficiently prior to the

<PAGE>

Instruction Date to ensure that the Depositary will vote the Shares or Deposited
Securities in accordance with the provisions set forth in the preceding
paragraph.

17.       CHANGES AFFECTING DEPOSITED SECURITIES.
          --------------------------------------
          In circumstances where the provisions of Section 4.3 of the Deposit
Agreement do not apply, upon any change in nominal value, change in par value,
split-up, consolidation or any other reclassification of Deposited Securities,
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 in respect of Deposited Securities shall be treated as new
Deposited Securities under the Deposit Agreement, and American Depositary Shares
shall thenceforth represent, in addition to the existing Deposited Securities,
if any, the new Deposited Securities so received in exchange or conversion,
unless additional Receipts are delivered pursuant to the following sentence. In
any such case the Depositary may, and shall at the Company's request, execute
and deliver additional Receipts as in the case of a dividend in Shares, or call
for the surrender of outstanding Receipts to be exchanged for new Receipts
specifically describing such new Deposited Securities.

18.       LIABILITY OF THE COMPANY AND DEPOSITARY.
          ---------------------------------------
          Neither the Depositary nor the Company nor any of their respective
directors, officers, employees, agents or affiliates shall incur any liability
to any Owner or Beneficial Owner of any Receipt, if by reason of any provision
of any present or future law or regulation of the United States, the People's
Republic of China or any other country, or of any governmental or regulatory
authority or stock exchange, or by reason of any provision, present or future,
of the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company, or by reason of
any provision of any Securities issued or distributed by the Company, or any
Offering or distribution thereof or by reason of any act of God or war or
terrorism or other circumstances beyond its control, the Depositary or the
Company shall be prevented, delayed or forbidden from, or be subject to any
civil or criminal penalty on account of, doing or performing any act or thing
which by the terms of the Deposit Agreement or Deposited Securities it is
provided shall be done or performed; nor shall the Depositary or the Company or
any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or affiliates
incur any liability to any Owner or Beneficial Owner of a Receipt by reason of
any non-performance or delay, caused as aforesaid, in the 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. Where, by the terms of a
distribution pursuant to Sections 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3 of the Deposit Agreement, or
an offering or distribution pursuant to Section 4.4 of the Deposit Agreement, or
for any other reason, such distribution or offering may not be made available to
Owners of Receipts, and the Depositary may not dispose of such distribution or
offering on behalf of such Owners and make the net proceeds available to such
Owners, then the Depositary shall not make such distribution

<PAGE>

or offering, and shall allow any rights, if applicable, to lapse in each such
case without liability to the Company or the Depositary.

          Neither the Company nor the Depositary nor any of their officers,
employees, agents or affiliates assumes any obligation or shall be subject to
any liability under the Deposit Agreement to Owners or Beneficial Owners of
Receipts, except that the Company and the Depositary agree to perform their
obligations specifically set forth in the Deposit Agreement without negligence
or bad faith. The Depositary shall not be subject to any liability with respect
to the validity or worth of the Deposited Securities. Neither the Depositary nor
the Company shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any
action, suit or other proceeding in respect of any Deposited Securities 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 and liability
shall be furnished as often as may be required, and the Custodian shall not be
under any obligation whatsoever with respect to such proceedings, the
responsibility of the Custodian being solely to the Depositary. Neither the
Depositary nor the Company shall be liable for any action or nonaction by it in
reliance upon the advice of or information from legal counsel, accountants, any
person presenting Shares for deposit, any Owner or Beneficial Owner of a
Receipt, or any other person believed by it in good faith to be competent to
give such advice or information. The Depositary shall not be liable for any acts
or omissions made by a successor depositary whether in connection with a
previous act or omission of the Depositary or in connection with any matter
arising wholly after the removal or resignation of the Depositary, provided that
in connection with the issue out of which such potential liability arises the
Depositary performed its obligations without negligence or bad faith while it
acted as Depositary. The Depositary shall not be responsible for any failure to
carry out any instructions to vote any of the Deposited Securities, or for the
manner in which any such vote is cast or the effect of any such vote, provided
that any such action or nonaction is in good faith. The Company agrees to
indemnify the Depositary, its directors, employees, agents and affiliates and
any Custodian against, and hold each of them harmless from, any liability or
expense (including, but not limited to, the fees and expenses of counsel) which
may arise out of any registration with the Commission of Receipts, American
Depositary Shares or Deposited Securities or the offer or sale thereof in the
United States or out of acts performed or omitted, in accordance with the
provisions of the Deposit Agreement and of the Receipts, as the same may be
amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, (i) by either the
Depositary or a Custodian or their respective directors, employees, agents and
affiliates, except for any liability or expense arising out of the negligence or
bad faith of either of them, or (ii) by the Company or any of its directors,
employees, agents and affiliates. No disclaimer of liability under the
Securities Act of 1933 is intended by any provision of the Deposit Agreement.

19.       RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL OF THE DEPOSITARY.
          -----------------------------------------
          The Depositary may at any time resign as Depositary under the Deposit
Agreement by written notice of its election so to do delivered to the Company,
such

<PAGE>

resignation to take effect upon 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 90 days prior written
notice of such removal, which shall become effective upon the later to occur of
the (i) 90th day after delivery of the notice to the Depositary or (ii) 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 Owners of Receipts to do so,
it may appoint a substitute or additional custodian or custodians.

20.       AMENDMENT.
          ----------
          The form of the Receipts and any provisions of the Deposit Agreement
may at any time and from time to time be amended by agreement between the
Company and the Depositary without the consent of Owners and Beneficial Owners
in any respect which they may deem necessary or desirable. Any amendment which
shall impose or increase any fees or charges (other than taxes and other
governmental charges, registration fees, cable, telex or facsimile transmission
costs, delivery costs or other such expenses), or which shall otherwise
prejudice any substantial existing right of Owners of Receipts, shall, however,
not become effective as to outstanding Receipts until the expiration of thirty
(30) days after notice of such amendment shall have been given to the Owners of
outstanding Receipts. Every Owner of a Receipt 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 Owner
of any Receipt to surrender such Receipt and receive therefor the Deposited
Securities represented thereby, except in order to comply with mandatory
provisions of applicable law.

21.       TERMINATION OF DEPOSIT AGREEMENT.
          --------------------------------
          The Depositary shall at any time at the direction of the Company
terminate the Deposit Agreement by mailing notice of such termination to the
Owners of all Receipts then outstanding at least ninety (90) days prior to the
date fixed in such notice for such termination. The Depositary may likewise
terminate the Deposit Agreement by mailing notice of such termination to the
Company and the Owners of all Receipts then outstanding if at any time ninety
(90) days shall have expired after the Depositary shall have delivered to the
Company a written notice of its election to resign and a successor depositary
shall not have been appointed and accepted its appointment as provided in the
Deposit Agreement. On and after the date of termination, the Owner of a Receipt
will, upon (a) surrender of such Receipt at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Depositary, (b) payment of the fee of the Depositary for the surrender of
Receipts referred to in Section 2.5 of the Deposit Agreement and (c) payment of
any applicable taxes or governmental charges, be entitled to delivery, to him or
upon his order, of the amount of Deposited Securities represented by the
American Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt. If any Receipts shall
remain outstanding after the date of termination, the Depositary thereafter
shall discontinue the registration of transfers of Receipts, shall suspend the
distribution of dividends to the Owners thereof, and shall not give any further
notices or

<PAGE>

perform any further acts under the Deposit Agreement, except that the Depositary
shall continue to collect dividends and other distributions pertaining to
Deposited Securities, shall sell rights and other property as provided in the
Deposit Agreement, and shall continue to deliver Deposited Securities, 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, in each case, the fee
of the Depositary for the surrender of a Receipt, any expenses for the account
of the Owner of such Receipt in accordance with the terms and conditions of the
Deposit Agreement and any applicable taxes or governmental charges). At any time
after the expiration of one year from the date of termination, the Depositary
may sell the Deposited Securities then held under the Deposit Agreement and may
thereafter hold uninvested the net proceeds of any such sale, together with any
other cash then held by it thereunder, unsegregated and without liability for
interest, for the pro rata benefit of the Owners of Receipts which have not
theretofore been surrendered, such Owners 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,
except for its obligations to the Company under Section 5.8 of the Deposit
Agreement and to account for such net proceeds and other cash (after deducting,
in each case, the fee of the Depositary for the surrender of a Receipt, any
expenses for the account of the Owner of such Receipt in accordance with the
terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement, and any applicable taxes or
governmental charges). 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 Sections 5.8 and 5.9 of the
Deposit Agreement.

22.       DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS.
          -----------------------
          Notwithstanding any other provision of this Deposit Agreement, each
Owner and Beneficial Owner agrees to comply with requests from the Company
pursuant to applicable law or the Memorandum and Articles of Association to
provide information, inter alia, as to the capacity in which such Owner or
Beneficial Owner owns American Depositary Shares (and Shares as the case may be)
and regarding the identity of any other person(s) interested in such American
Depositary Shares (and Shares, as the case may be) and the nature of such
interest and various other matters, whether or not they are Owners or Beneficial
Owners at the time of such request. The Depositary agrees to use its reasonable
efforts to forward, upon the reasonable written request of the Company and at
the expense of the Company, any such written request from the Company to the
Owners and to forward, as promptly as practicable, to the Company any such
responses to such requests received by the Depositary. If the Company requests
information from the Depositary, the Custodian or the nominee of either, as the
registered owner of the Shares, the obligations of the Depositary, Custodian or
such nominee, as the case may be, shall be limited to disclosing to the Company
the information contained in the register.

23.       COMPLIANCE WITH U.S. SECURITIES LAWS.
          ------------------------------------

<PAGE>

          Notwithstanding anything in the Deposit Agreement or this Receipt 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 Securities in a manner which would violate the U.S.
securities laws, including, but not limited to, Section I.A.(1) of the General
Instructions to the Form F-6 Registration Statement, as amended from time to
time, under the Securities Act.

24.       SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; APPOINTMENT OF AGENT FOR SERVICE OF
          ---------------------------------------------------------------
          PROCESS.
          --------
          The Company hereby (i) irrevocably designates and appoints CT
Corporation System, 111 Eighth Avenue, 13th Floor, New York, New York 10011, in
the State of New York, as the Company's authorized agent upon which process may
be served in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Shares or
Deposited Securities, the American Depositary Shares, the Receipts or this
Agreement, (ii) consents and submits to the jurisdiction of any state or federal
court in the State of New York in which any such suit or proceeding may be
instituted, and (iii) agrees that service of process upon said authorized agent
shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Company
in any such suit or proceeding. The Company agrees to deliver, upon the
execution and delivery of the Deposit Agreement, a written acceptance by such
agent of its appointment as such agent. The Company further agrees to take any
and all action, including the filing of any and all such documents and
instruments, as may be necessary to continue such designation and appointment in
full force and effect for so long as any American Depositary Shares or Receipts
remain outstanding or this Agreement remains in force. In the event the Company
fails to continue such designation and appointment in full force and effect, the
Company hereby waives personal service of process upon it and consents that any
such service of process may be made by certified or registered mail, return
receipt requested, directed to the Company at its address last specified for
notices hereunder, and service so made shall be deemed completed five (5) days
after the same shall have been so mailed.

25.       ARBITRATION.
          ------------
          In the event the Depositary is advised that a judgment of a United
States court may not be recognized, the following provisions shall apply:

          (i) Any controversy, claim or cause of action brought by any party or
parties hereto against any other party or parties hereto arising out of or
relating to the Deposit Agreement shall be settled by arbitration in accordance
with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association,
and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any
court having jurisdiction thereof.

          (ii) The place of the arbitration shall be the City of New York, State
of New York, United States of America, and the language of the arbitration shall
be English.

          (iii) The number of arbitrators shall be three, each of whom shall be
disinterested in the dispute or controversy, shall have no connection with any
party

<PAGE>

thereto, and shall be an attorney experienced in international securities
transactions. Each party shall appoint one arbitrator and the two arbitrators
shall select a third arbitrator who shall serve as chairperson of the tribunal.
If a dispute, controversy or cause of action shall involve more than two
parties, the parties shall attempt to align themselves in two sides (i.e.,
claimant and respondent), each of which shall appoint one arbitrator as if there
were only two parties to such dispute, controversy or cause of action. If either
or both parties fail to select an arbitrator, or if such alignment (in the event
there is more than two parties) shall not have occurred, within sixty (60)
calendar days after the initiating party serves the arbitration demand or the
two arbitrators fail to select a third arbitrator within sixty (60) calendar
days of the selection of the second arbitrator, the American Arbitration
Association shall appoint the arbitrator or arbitrators in accordance with its
rules. The parties and the American Arbitration Association may appoint the
arbitrators from among the nationals of any country, whether or not a party is a
national of that country.

          (iv) The arbitrators shall have no authority to award damages not
measured by the prevailing party's actual damages and shall have no authority to
award any consequential, special or punitive damages, and may not, in any event,
make any ruling, finding or award that does not conform to the terms and
conditions of the Deposit Agreement.

          (v) In the event any third-party action or proceeding is instituted
against the Depositary relating to or arising from any act or failure to act by
the Company, the Company hereby submits to the personal jurisdiction of the
court or administrative agency in which such action or proceeding is brought.
