立約人因與 貴行授信往來,為 貴行保全債權需要,同意於授信期間,如遇質押標的物價值發生變動時,應予全力維持質押標的物之價值,並同意依照下列約定條款辦理:


一、立約人之授信,其擔保維持率依授信總餘額合併計算整戶擔保維持率。其維持率之計算為:擔保上市有價證券現行市值/授信總餘額×一○○%。


二、如因質押標的物市價變動致擔保維持率低於  
%時,由 貴行通知立約人補繳差額。


三、經 貴行通知日後二個營業日內,整戶擔保維持率仍未達第二條之維持率,且未經立約人補繳差額時,對 貴行所負之債務,即表失期限利益,視同全部到期, 貴行得自該營業日起在公開市場上拍賣或變賣質押標的物,以抵償所欠本息。有關質押物處分之方法及價格,概委託由 貴行全權處理,並以本條款為授權之證明。

五、立約人雖未補繳差額或僅補繳一部份而整戶擔保維持率回升至第二條維持率加計三十%以上或於處分質押標的物前立約人陸續繳納差額合計達到通知之補繳差額者,則取銷該次追補記錄,但 貴行有權不受本條之拘束。


六、立約人所提供之質押標的物, 貴行同意其孳息由出質人領取,惟立約人同意自該孳息之除權息基準日前七個營業日起,以除權息後之參考價格作為計算整戶擔保維持率之標準。


七、倘立約人或擔保物發行公司的業務、財務及信用發生狀況,以致損害 貴行之權利並損及借款人或出質人之利益,借款人或出質人同意 貴行經自行評估認為可能損及債權時,貴行得依民法第八九二條拍賣質物,以賣得價金,代充質物。


前項之拍賣,因情形急迫時,借款人或出質人同意免除 貴行之通知義務。

Article 19:
Collateral Maintenance Rate (TSE/GreTai Listed Securities)


To meet the Bank’s requirement
to safeguard its credit rights as a result of its credit extension dealings with the Customer, the Customer agrees to exert its
best effort to maintain the value of the collaterals in case of a fluctuation of the value of the collaterals during the credit
extension term, and the Customer further agrees to deal with such an event according to the following agreed terms:


		(a)	The collateral maintenance rate in connection with the credit extended to the Customer shall be
the collateral maintenance rate of the whole account calculated on the basis of the total balance of the Customer’s credit
line. The maintenance rate is: Current market price of TSE listed securities provided as collateral/Total balance of credit line
x 100%.



		(b)	When the collateral maintenance rate is lower than ___ % due to a fluctuation of the market price
of the collaterals, the Bank shall notify the Customer to make payment to make up the difference.



		(c)	If the collateral maintenance rate of the whole account still fails to reach the maintenance rate
as stipulated in item (b) within two business days after the Bank has notified the Customer, and the Customer does not attend to
payment to make up the difference, the Customer’s time limitation benefit with respect to the indebtedness owed to the Bank
will extinguish, and all the indebtedness shall be considered as having matured. Commencing from the said business day, the Bank
may auction or sell the collaterals on the open market to set off the principal and interest owed to the Bank. As for the manner
and price of disposal of the collaterals, the Customer agrees to commission the Bank with full authority to deal with the same
and to apply this provision to prove such authorization.



		(d)	If the collateral maintenance rate of the whole account shall rise back to the maintenance rate
as stipulated in item (b) or above within two business days after the Bank has notified the Customer, the Bank may not dispose
of the collaterals for the time being although the Customer has not attended to payment to make up the difference. However, on
any business day thereafter when the collateral maintenance rate of the whole account is lower than the maintenance rate as stipulated
in item (b), the Customer shall automatically attend to the supplemental payment on the current day. Otherwise, the Bank shall
have the right to dispose of the collaterals commencing from that day.



		(e)	If the collateral maintenance rate of the whole account shall rise back to the maintenance rate
as stipulated in item (b) plus 30% or above although the Customer has not attended to payment to make up the difference or has
only attended to payment of a part thereof, or if the aggregate amount of the consecutive payments made by the Customer is sufficient
to make up the difference as notified by the Bank before the disposal of the collaterals, the Bank will cancel the record of the
said demand for supplemental payment; provided, however, that the Bank has the right to be released from the restriction of this
item.



		(f)	The Bank agrees that the interest arising from a collateral provided by the Customer shall be collected
by the Customer. However, the Customer agrees that, commencing from the 7th business day prior to the ex-right/ex-dividend
date on which the said interest will arise, the reference price of the collateral on the ex-right/ex-dividend date shall be used
as the standard for calculating the collateral maintenance rate of the whole account.



		(g)	If there is a deterioration of the business, finances or credit of the Customer or the issuing
company which, form the Bank’s point of view, may impair the Bank’s rights and interests and the interests of the borrower
or the Customer, the borrower or the Customer agrees that the Bank may auction the collaterals according to Article 892 of the
Civil Code and replace the collaterals with the proceeds realized from the auction, if the Bank shall determine from an evaluation
conducted by itself that such circumstance may impair its credit rights.



Under urgent circumstances, the
Customer or pledgor, as the case may be, agree to release the Bank from its obligation to give notice with respect to the auction
stated in the preceding paragraph.


Whether to conduct an auction
as stated in the first paragraph is at the Bank’s discretion; the Bank is not obligated to conduct such auction.

Article 20:
Transfer of the Ownership of the Collateral


Where the date of repayment
of the indebtedness secured by this pledge is due but the indebtedness is not repaid, the pledgee may request the Customer to transfer
the ownership of the collaterals to the pledgee, and to deliver the collaterals to the pledgee for possession. If registration
of the assignment of the ownership of the said collaterals is required, the Customer shall, at the pledgee’s request, unconditionally
agree to coordinate with the pledgee in attending to all the procedures therefor, and the Customer shall not delay in complying
with the aforesaid request of the pledgee for any reason.


With respect to the value of
the collaterals the ownership of which is transferred, the Customer agrees to use the results of the appraisal conducted by an
impartial appraisal organization as the basis for ascertaining the value thereof. The relevant appraisal fee shall be shared equally
by both parties and, unless otherwise agreed, the payment of taxes and burden of expenses in connection with the transfer of the
