ARTICLE 2. FORM OF RECEIPTS, DEPOSIT OF SHARES, EXECUTION AND DELIVERY, TRANSFER
           AND SURRENDER 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

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.

<PAGE>

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 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 reasonably 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 Company 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

<PAGE>

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.

                  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
Company 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 Company or
the Foreign Registrar, if applicable, are open, the Depositary may in its sole
discretion require a proper acknowledgment or other evidence from the Company
that any Deposited Securities have been recorded upon the books of the Company
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 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.

<PAGE>

         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, upon at least 20 days' prior written
notice to the Company, 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. The Depositary may remove a
co-transfer agent upon at least 20 days' prior written notice to the Company. 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. The Depositary shall require each
co-transfer agent it appoints under this Deposit Agreement to give notice in
writing to the Depositary accepting that 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) certificates for 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

<PAGE>

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 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.

<PAGE>

                  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 as provided in Section 5.1, 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
this Deposit Agreement, or for any other reason, subject to the provisions of
Section 7.9. 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 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. 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 for public sale in the United States,
unless a registration statement is in effect as to such Shares.

                  The Depositary will use reasonable efforts to comply with the
written instructions of the Company not to accept for deposit hereunder any
Shares identified in such instructions at such times and under such
circumstances as may reasonably be specified in such instructions in order to
facilitate the Company's compliance with applicable United States securities
laws.

         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.

         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.

<PAGE>

         SECTION 2.9 Pre-Release of Receipts.

                  The Depositary may deliver Receipts against the delivery by
the Company (or any agent of the Company recording Share ownership) of evidence
of rights to receive Shares from the Company (or any such agent). No such
issuance 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, execute and deliver Receipts
prior to the receipt of Shares pursuant to Section 2.2 (a "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 or Shares are to be delivered, that such person
(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 which are outstanding at
any time as a result of Pre-Release 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 this 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).

<PAGE>

                  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 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 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 were not issued in violation 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 Shares are not, and American Depositary Shares representing the Shares would
not be, Restricted Securities. All representations and warranties deemed made

<PAGE>

under this Section 3.3 shall survive the deposit of Shares and delivery or
surrender of Receipts.

         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 Company
pursuant to applicable law or the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the
Company 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 or persons
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.

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, as promptly as practicable,
such dividend or distribution into Dollars and shall distribute, as promptly as
practicable 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 Company 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 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 Company or its agent will remit to the appropriate governmental agency in
the Cayman Islands or the People's Republic of China 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 governmental
agencies, and the Depositary or the Company or

<PAGE>

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, subject to all
applicable laws, 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 Company 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.
The Depositary may refuse to effect any distribution of securities under this
Section 4.2 unless it has received an opinion of United States counsel for the
Company that is satisfactory to the Depositary that the distribution does not
require registration under the Securities Act.

         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 Company shall so request in writing, 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 use reasonable efforts to sell the amount of Shares represented
by the aggregate of such fractions and distribute any net proceeds to the Owners
entitled to them, all in the manner and subject to the

<PAGE>

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 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 entitled to them or in
disposing of such rights on behalf of any Owners otherwise entitled to them 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,
after Consultation with the Company, 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 hereunder, 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 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

<PAGE>

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 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, however, that
nothing in this 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 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, that the Company
will 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 reasonable
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, 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, as promptly as
practicable, 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, as promptly as practicable, to the Owners entitled thereto
or, if the Depositary shall have distributed any warrants or other instruments
which entitle the holders thereof to such

<PAGE>

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. The Company will not be obligated to make any such filings.

                  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.

                  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

<PAGE>

proceeds of the sale thereof or (ii) entitled to give instructions for the
exercise of voting rights at any such, (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.

         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 Company the
Depositary shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, mail to the Owners a
notice, the form of which notice shall be in the discretion of the Depositary
and 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 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, including an
express indication that such instructions may be given or deemed given in
accordance with the last sentence of this paragraph if no instruction is
received, to the Depositary to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated
to the Company. 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 such Shares or other Deposited Securities other than in accordance with such
instructions or deemed instructions. If (i) the Company made a request to the
Depositary as contemplated by the first sentence of this Section 4.07 and
complied with the following paragraph of this Section 4.07 and (ii) no
instructions are received by the Depositary from an Owner with respect to any of
the Deposited Securities represented by the American Depositary Shares evidenced
by such Owner's Receipts on or before the Instruction Date, the Depositary shall
deem such Owner to have instructed the Depositary to give a discretionary proxy
to a person designated by the Company with respect to such Deposited Securities
and the Depositary shall give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by
the Company to vote such Deposited Securities; provided, however, that no such
instruction shall be deemed given and no such discretionary proxy shall be given
with respect to any matter as to which the Company informs the Depositary (and
the Company agrees to provide such information as promptly as practicable in

<PAGE>

writing, if applicable) that (x) the Company does not wish such proxy given, (y)
the Company is aware that substantial opposition exists or (z) such matter
materially and adversely affects the rights of holders of Shares; provided,
further, that the Company will have no liability to any Owner or Beneficial
Owner resulting from such notification.

                  In order to give Owners a reasonable opportunity to instruct
the Depositary as to the exercise of voting rights relating to Deposited
Securities, if the Company requests the Depositary to act under the preceding
paragraph, the Company shall give the Depositary notice of any such meeting not
less than 45 days prior to the meeting date.

                  There can be no assurance that Owners generally or any Owner
in particular will receive the notice described in the first paragraph of this
Section 4.7 sufficiently prior to the Instruction Date to ensure that the
Depositary will vote the Shares or Deposited Securities in accordance with the
provisions of that 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 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 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 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. Upon the occurrence of any change,
conversion, exchange or other event covered by this Section 4.8, the Depositary
shall give notice thereof in writing to all Owners if it affects holdings of
American Depositary Shares.

         SECTION 4.9 Reports.

                  The Depositary shall make available for inspection by Owners
at its Corporate Trust Office, as promptly as practicable after receipt, 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 send to the
Owners copies of such reports furnished by the Company pursuant to Section 5.6.
Any such reports and communications, including any such proxy soliciting
material, furnished to the Depositary by the Company

<PAGE>

shall be furnished in English to the extent such materials are required to be
translated into English pursuant to any regulations of the Commission.

         SECTION 4.10 Lists of Owners.

                  Promptly upon request by the Company, the Depositary shall, at
the expense of the Company, 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 Company or its agent will remit to the appropriate
governmental agencies in the Cayman Islands and the People's Republic of China
all amounts withheld and owing to such agencies. 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 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 entitled thereto in proportion to the number of American
Depositary Shares held by them respectively.

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

         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 Company,
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
Company or a matter related to this Deposit Agreement or the Receipts.

<PAGE>

                  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
Company.

                  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, upon at least 20 days' prior written
notice to the Company, appoint a Registrar or one or more co-registrars for
registry of American Depositary Shares in accordance with any requirements of
that exchange or exchanges. The Depositary may remove a Registrar or
co-registrar upon at least 20 days' prior written notice to the Company. The
Depositary shall require each Registrar and co-registrar it appoints under this
Deposit Agreement to give notice in writing to the Depositary accepting that
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
Company.

                  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 this Deposit Agreement or the 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 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 Company or the Depositary.

<PAGE>

         SECTION 5.3 Obligations of the Depositary, the Custodian and the
Company.

                  Neither the Company, 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 Company agrees to perform its obligations specifically set forth in
this Deposit Agreement without negligence or bad faith.

                  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 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
that in its opinion may involve it in expense or liability, unless indemnity
satisfactory to it against all expenses 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 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.

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

<PAGE>

         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 Company, 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 Company 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 Company 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 Company 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 Company 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.

         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 the
effectiveness of such resignation there would 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

<PAGE>

Depositary, forthwith upon its appointment, an acceptance of such appointment
satisfactory in form and substance to the Depositary. The Depositary shall
notify the Company as promptly as practicable of any change in Custodians.

                  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 Company 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 other distributions or the
offering of any rights, the Company 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 Company 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 Company to the Depositary and the
Custodian of such notices and any other reports and communications which are
made generally available by the Company to holders of its Shares. If requested
in writing by the Company, the Depositary will arrange for the mailing, at the
Company's expense, of copies of such notices, reports and communications to all
Owners. The Company 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.

                  If the Company or any affiliate of the Company determines to
make 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 Company shall notify
the Depositary in writing in English as promptly as practicable and in any event
before the Distribution starts and, if requested in writing by the Depositary,
the Company shall promptly furnish to the Depositary a written opinion from U.S.
counsel for the Company that is reasonably satisfactory to the Depositary,
stating whether or not the Distribution requires, or, if made in the United
States, would require, registration under the Securities Act of 1933. If, in the
opinion of that counsel, the Distribution requires, or, if made in the United
States, would require,

<PAGE>

registration under the Securities Act of 1933, that counsel shall furnish to the
Depositary a written opinion as to whether or not there is a registration
statement under the Securities Act of 1933 in effect that will cover that
Distribution.

                  To the extent the Company in its discretion deems it necessary
or advisable in order to avoid any requirement to register any securities under
the Securities Act, the Company may prevent Owners in the United States from
receiving any distribution and from purchasing any additional securities
(whether pursuant to preemptive rights or otherwise) pursuant to that
distribution, and the Company may direct the Depositary to refuse deposits of
Shares for such period of time following that distribution and to adopt such
other specific measures as the Company and the Depositary may agree.

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

         SECTION 5.8 Indemnification.

                  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 (a) any registration with
the Commission of Receipts, American Depositary Shares or Deposited Securities
or the offer or sale thereof in the United States or (b) acts performed or
omitted, pursuant to 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 Company or
any of its directors, employees, agents and affiliates.

                  The indemnities contained in the preceding paragraph shall not
extend to any liability or expense which may arise out of any Pre-Release (as
defined in Section 2.9) but only to the extent that any such liability or
expense arises in connection with (a) any United States Federal, state or local
income tax laws, or (b) the failure of the Depositary to deliver Deposited
Securities when required under the terms of Section 2.5. However, the
indemnities provided in the preceding paragraph shall apply to any such
liability or expense which may arise out of any misstatement or alleged
misstatement or omission or alleged omission in any registration statement,
proxy statement, prospectus (or placement memorandum, or preliminary prospectus
(or preliminary placement memorandum), relating to the offer or sale of American
Depositary Shares, except to the extent any such liability or expense arises out
of (i) information relating to the Depositary

<PAGE>

or any Custodian (other than the Company), as applicable, furnished in writing
and not materially changed or altered by the Company expressly for use in any of
the foregoing documents, or, (ii) if such information is provided, the failure
to state a material fact necessary to make the information provided not
misleading.

                  The Depositary agrees to indemnify the Company, its directors,
employees, agents and affiliates and hold them harmless from any liability or
expense (including, but not limited to, the reasonable fees and expense of
counsel), 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 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 to assume, at least ten (10) days prior
to the date the first response or appearance is required to be made in such
Proceeding, the defense of such Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the Indemnitee or (d) there are legal defenses available to the 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

<PAGE>

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.

                  The Depositary agrees to indemnify the Company, 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.

         SECTION 5.9 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), 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 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 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

<PAGE>

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 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 Company 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 Company reasonably requests that such papers be retained for a longer
period.

         SECTION 5.11 Exclusivity.

                  Subject to Sections 5.4 and 6.2, the Company 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 Company shall provide to the Depositary
a list setting forth, to the actual knowledge of the Company, those persons or
entities who beneficially own Restricted Securities. The Company 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 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, 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

<PAGE>

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
Company 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
Company 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 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 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 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 Company 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
Company 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.

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

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.

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 this 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,

<PAGE>

the Company hereby submits to the personal jurisdiction of the court or
administrative agency in which such action or proceeding is brought .

         SECTION 7.9 Compliance with United States Securities Laws.

                  Notwithstanding anything in this Deposit Agreement to the
contrary, the Company and the Depositary each agrees that it will not exercise
any rights it has under this Deposit Agreement to prevent the withdrawal or
delivery of Deposited Securities in a manner which would violate United States
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.

<PAGE>

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 _______, 2004 (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) certificates for 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.

<PAGE>

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

         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 as provided in Section 5.1 of the
Deposit Agreement, 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 (25) 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
for public sale in the United States, unless a registration statement is in
effect as to such Shares.

         The Depositary will use reasonable efforts to comply with the written
instructions of the Company not to accept for deposit under the Deposit
Agreement any Shares identified in such instructions at such times and under
such circumstances as may reasonably be specified in such instructions in order
to facilitate the Company's compliance with applicable United States securities
laws.

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

<PAGE>

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.

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 were
not issued in violation 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 Shares are not, and
American Depositary Shares representing the Shares would not be, Restricted
Securities. All representations and warranties deemed made under Section 3.3 of
the Deposit Agreement shall survive the deposit of Shares and delivery or
surrender 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

<PAGE>

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
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.

<PAGE>

8.       PRE-RELEASE OF RECEIPTS.

                  The Depositary may deliver Receipts against the delivery by
the Company (or any agent of the Company recording Share ownership) of evidence
of rights to receive Shares from the Company (or any such agent). No such
issuance 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 (a "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 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 or Shares are to be delivered, that such person
(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 which are outstanding at
any time as a result of Pre-Release Releases will not normally exceed thirty
percent (30%) of the Shares deposited under the Deposit Agreement; 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 thereunder).

<PAGE>

                  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.

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, as promptly as practicable after receipt, 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 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

<PAGE>

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, as promptly as practicable, such dividend or distribution into Dollars
and shall distribute, as promptly as practicable, 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 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, subject to all applicable laws, 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, after Consultation with the
Company, 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. The Depositary may refuse to effect
any distribution of securities under Section 4.2 of the Deposit Agreement unless
it has received an opinion of United States counsel for the Company that is
satisfactory to the Depositary that the distribution does not require
registration under the Securities Act.

<PAGE>

         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 in writing, 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 use
reasonable efforts to sell the amount of Shares represented by the aggregate of
such fractions and distribute any net proceeds to the Owners entitled to them,
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
agencies in the Cayman Islands and the People's Republic of China all amounts
withheld and owing to such agencies. 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
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, as promptly as
practicable, 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, as promptly as practicable, to the Owners entitled thereto
or, if the Depositary shall have distributed any warrants or other instruments
which entitle the holders thereof to such

<PAGE>

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.
The Company shall not be obligated to make any such filings.

         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.

         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 to them or in disposing of such
rights on behalf of any Owners otherwise entitled to them 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 (after
Consultation with the

<PAGE>

Company) 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 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.

<PAGE>

         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, however,
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 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, that 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 reasonable 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 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, (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 a
notice, the form of which notice shall be in the discretion of the Depositary
and 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 Company, to instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of the
voting rights, if any,

<PAGE>

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, including an express indication that
such instructions may be given or deemed given in accordance with the last
sentence of this paragraph if no instruction is received, to the Depositary to
give a discretionary proxy to a person designated to the Company. 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 such Shares or other
Deposited Securities other than in accordance with such instructions or deemed
instructions. If (i) the Company made a request to the Depositary as
contemplated by the first sentence of this paragraph and complied with the
following paragraph and (ii) no instructions are received by the Depositary from
an Owner with respect to any of the Deposited Securities represented by the
American Depositary Shares evidenced by such Owner's Receipts on or before the
Instruction Date, the Depositary shall deem such Owner to have instructed the
Depositary to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by the Company
with respect to such Deposited Securities and the Depositary shall give a
discretionary proxy to a person designated by the Company to vote such Deposited
Securities; provided, however, that no such instruction shall be deemed given
and no such discretionary proxy shall be given with respect to any matter as to
which the Company informs the Depositary (and the Company agrees to provide such
information as promptly as practicable in writing, if applicable) that (x) the
Company does not wish such proxy given, (y) the Company is aware that
substantial opposition exists or (z) such matter materially and adversely
affects the rights of holders of Shares; provided, however, that the Company
will not have any liability to any Owner or Beneficial Owner resulting from such
notification.

                  In order to give Owners a reasonable opportunity to instruct
the Depositary as to the exercise of voting rights relating to Deposited
Securities, if the Company requests the Depositary to act under the preceding
paragraph, the Company shall give the Depositary notice of any such meeting not
less than 45 days prior to the meeting date.

         There can be no assurance that Owners generally or any Owner in
particular will receive the notice described in the first paragraph of Section
4.7 of the Deposit Agreement sufficiently prior to the Instruction Date to
ensure that the Depositary will vote the Shares or Deposited Securities in
accordance with the provisions of that 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

<PAGE>

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. Upon the occurrence of any change,
conversion, exchange or other event covered by Section 4.8 of the Deposit
Agreement, the Depositary shall give notice thereof in writing to all Owners if
it affects holdings of American Depositary Shares.

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

<PAGE>

         Neither the Company nor the Depositary nor any of their directors,
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 that in its opinion may involve it in
expense or liability, unless indemnity satisfactory to it against all expenses
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. No disclaimer of liability
under the Securities Act 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 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

<PAGE>

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 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 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 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
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

<PAGE>

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.      SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; APPOINTMENT OF AGENT FOR SERVICE OF
         PROCESS.

         The Company has (i) irrevocably designated and appointed 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,

<PAGE>

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
the Deposit 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.

24.      ARBITRATION.

         In the event the Depositary is advised that a judgment of a court in
the 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

days of the selection of the second arbitrator, the American Arbitration

         Section 3.2       Additional Funding; Pre-emptive Rights.

         (a)      The Board of Directors may determine in accordance with
Article IV that the Company requires additional funds. Such additional funding
shall be used for the purposes of the Company set forth in Section 2.2 and shall
be funded in accordance with this Article III. No parties hereto shall be
obliged to provide any financial assistance including, but not limited to,
loans, guarantees, bonds, debentures and/or other debt securities unless

         (b)      If the Board of Directors, acting in accordance with this
Agreement, decides that the Company requires funding by the issuance of
additional Shares (other than in connection with (i) any conversion of Preferred
Shares into Common Shares at the option of a Preferred Shareholder, (ii) any
Non-Voting Ordinary Shares issued in connection with the Employee Stock Option
Plan or (iii) any Public Offering), other equity securities or securities
convertible into equity securities, including without limitation, ordinary and
preferred shares, options, warrants or other similar instruments of the Company,
but excluding stock options issued to employees pursuant to the Employee Stock
Option Plan ("Equity Linked Securities"), the Board of Directors shall first
provide a notice (each such notice, a "Funding Notice") to each of the Founding
Shareholders, Acer, Icon, Mitsubishi, Index, Temasek and Intrinsic
(collectively, the "Preemptive Right Holders") of the issuance of such Equity
Linked Securities and the issue price thereof. Each of the Preemptive Right
Holders shall have the right but not the obligation to purchase for cash a
portion of the Equity Linked Securities to be issued corresponding to its then
current respective Shareholding Percentage at the same price and on the same
terms and conditions as such Equity Linked Securities are offered or sold. The
Funding Notice shall set forth the amount of additional contribution from each
of the Preemptive Right Holders for the pro rata amount of Equity Linked
Securities to be issued and the intended subscription date specified by the
Board of Directors (the "Subscription Date"). Each of the Preemptive Right
Holders shall have the right but not the obligation to make such additional
funds available to the Company not later than the date specified in the Funding
Notice (the "Funding Date"), which shall be at least 15 days after the Funding
Notice is delivered to the Shareholders and no later than five Business Days
before the Subscription Date. Such pre-emptive rights shall be assignable by
each of the Preemptive Right Holders to any of its Affiliates. If any Preemptive
Right Holder does not make full payment of the additional contribution set forth
in the Funding Notice on or before the Funding Date, the Board of Directors may
accept additional capital contributions in the amount of the deficiency from the
other Preemptive Right Holders (or their Affiliates) in proportion to such
Preemptive Right Holder's subscription to the offered Equity Linked Securities,
but no Preemptive Right Holder shall be obligated to make up any such
deficiency. To the extent that such deficiency is not made up, the Company may
proceed to offer the Equity Linked Securities represented by such deficiency to
third parties at no less than the issue price stated in the Funding Notice
within 60 days from the Funding Date. In the event the Company has not sold all
offered Equity Linked Securities within such period, the Company shall not
thereafter issue or sell any Equity Linked Securities without first offering
them to the Preemptive Rights Holders in the manner provided above.

                                      -16-
<PAGE>

liquidation proceeds of the Company or any Subsidiary available for distribution
to the Shareholders in the following order and amounts:

                  (i)      first, to each of the Series A, Series B, Series C,
         Series D and Series E Preferred Shareholders up to 100% of the issue
         price of each such Preferred Share held by it, pro rata in accordance
         with the respective Shareholding Percentage calculated with respect to
         Preferred Shares only, treated as one class; provided, however, that
         the parties to this Agreement hereby agree that the Series E Preferred
         Shareholders, Series D Preferred Shareholders, Series C Preferred
         Shareholders, Series B Preferred Shareholders and Icon shall receive up
         to 100% of the issue price of each Preferred Share held by them prior
         to the distribution of any of the remaining preference amount to the
         other Series A Preferred Shareholders, which remaining Series A
         preference amount, if any, shall not be paid to the remaining Series A
         Preferred Shareholders, but, rather, shall be made available to all of
         the Shareholders in accordance with Section 5.1(b).

         (b)      After the payment in full of the preference amount in Section
5.1(a), the remaining liquidated proceeds shall be distributed pro rata among
all the Shareholders in accordance with the respective Shareholding Percentages,
with each Preferred Share being deemed for such purpose to be equal to the
number of Common Shares into which such Preferred Share is convertible pursuant
to Section 5.2.

         Section 5.2       Conversion Rights.

         (a)      Each Preferred Shareholder shall have the right to convert at
any time any or all of the Preferred Shares held by it into Common Shares in
accordance with the conversion provisions in the Memorandum and Articles of
Association.

         (b)      All Preferred Shares shall be automatically converted into
Common Shares in accordance with the conversion provisions in the Memorandum and
Articles of Association immediately prior to the closing of an Initial Public
Offering.

         (c)      If a Preferred Shareholder exercises its right to convert
Preferred Shares into Common Shares, such Preferred Shareholder shall surrender
the certificate or certificates for such Preferred Share at the office of the
transfer agent (or at the principal office of the Company if the Company serves
as its own transfer agent), together with written notice that such holder elects
to convert all or any number of the shares represented by such certificate or
certificates. Such notice shall state the name of the Preferred Shareholder and
the names in which the Preferred Shareholder wishes the certificate or
certificates for Common Shares to be issued. If required by the Company,
certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by a
written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the
Company, duly executed by the registered holder or its attorney duly authorized
in writing. The date of receipt of such certificates and notice by the transfer
agent or the Company shall be the conversion date (the "Conversion Date"). The
Company shall, as soon as practicable after the Conversion Date, issue and
deliver at such office to such holder or to his nominees, a certificate or
certificates for the number of Common Shares to which such holder shall be
entitled. If the conversion is in connection with an Initial Public Offering,
the conversion may, at the option the Preferred Shareholder, be conditioned upon
the closing with the underwriters of the sale of securities pursuant to such
offering, such that the Person entitled to receive the Common Shares upon
conversion of the Preferred Shares shall not be deemed to have converted such
Preferred Shares until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of
securities.

         (d)      The Company shall, at all times during which any Preferred
Shares shall be outstanding, keep available such number of its duly authorized
Common Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion
of all outstanding Preferred Shares.

dividends thereon to the date of redemption (the "Redemption Price"). If on any
redemption date the number of shares that may then be legally redeemed by the
Company is less than the number of such shares to be redeemed, then the shares

for each Series E Preferred Share shall be the amount per share (as adjusted for
stock splits, reclassifications, stock dividends, and the like) actually paid by
Temasek to the Company plus all declared but unpaid dividends thereon to the
date of redemption (the "Redemption Price"). If on any redemption date the

Mitsubishi and Index (adjusted for stock splits, reclassifications, stock
dividends, and the like), Mitsubishi and Index will be issued additional shares
to adjust for the difference. This adjustment shall be the difference between
the number of shares that Mitsubishi and Index actually received and the number
of shares they would have received had they invested at the lower share price.

the Series E Preferred Shares held by Temasek shall be adjusted to reflect the
lower price (including adjustments for stock splits, reclassifications, stock
dividends and the like), such that Temasek holds the same relative ownership
position thereafter as it had immediately prior thereto. The adjustment shall be
made when such issuance is made, and shall become effective immediately upon
such issuance.

                               TRANSFER OF SHARES

         Section 6.1       General Restrictions on Transfer.

         (a)      No Shareholder shall Transfer any Shares or warrants now owned
or subsequently acquired by the Shareholder to any Persons, unless such Transfer
is in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Articles of
Association.

         (b)      Each Shareholder agrees that no Transfer of any Shares
(including any Permitted Transfers) shall be valid and effective until the
transferee of such Shares (the "Transferee") shall have executed and delivered
to the Company and each other Shareholder, as a condition precedent to any
acquisition of Shares or warrants, an instrument in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Company confirming that such Transferee agrees to
become a party to this Agreement and to be bound by all the terms and conditions
hereof. The Shareholders further agree to take any action, or cause any action
to be taken, that is necessary or reasonably desirable to effect all the
restrictions on the Transfer of Shares or warrants set forth herein in order
that the same may bind third parties who are not parties to this Agreement.

         (c)      Shareholders may effectuate any Permitted Transfer or Public
Sale without compliance with Sections 6.2 and 6.3.

         Section 6.2       Right of First Offer.

         (a)      If any Shareholder (an "Offering Shareholder") desires to
Transfer all or part of its Shares (the "Offered Shares"), it shall, by a notice
in writing (a "First Offer Notice") to all the other Shareholders, first offer
(a "First Offer") to the other Shareholders the opportunity to purchase all of
such Offered Shares on the same terms and conditions as those offered by the
Offering Shareholder. Such First Offer shall (i) specify the number of such
Offered Shares, (ii) specify the proposed purchase price which shall be on an
all cash basis, and (iii) contain an irrevocable offer to sell such Offered
Shares at such price to the other Shareholders. The other Shareholders, at their
sole election, may accept, in whole but not in part, the First Offer by written
notice to the Offering Shareholder not later than 10 Business Days after receipt
of the First Offer. If more than one other Shareholder accepts the First Offer,
the Offering Shareholder shall be deemed to have offered each such accepting
Shareholder that number of the Offered Shares equal to the aggregate number of
all the Offered Shares multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is each
such accepting Shareholder's Shareholding Percentage and the denominator of
which is the aggregate Shareholding Percentage of all such other Shareholders
accepting the first offer, and each such accepting Shareholder will be deemed to
have accepted such proportionate share of the Offered Shares. The accepting
Shareholder(s) shall purchase and pay for all of the Offered Shares no later
than 20 Business Days from acceptance of the First Offer. The Offering
Shareholder shall deliver such Offered Shares, free and clear of any liens and
encumbrances, to the accepting Shareholder(s) against delivery of the purchase
price therefor. If no other Shareholders accept the First Offer within the
prescribed time period, then the Offering Shareholder shall have the right to
sell the Offered Shares to third party purchaser(s) on the terms set forth in
the First Offer. If the Offering Shareholder fails to consummate the sale within
90 days following the date of the expiration of the First Offer, then any
subsequent Transfer of the Offered Shares shall again be subject to compliance
with this Section 6.2. The

                                      -20-
<PAGE>

Company shall not give effect to any Transfer of Shares subject to this Section
6.2 that is not made in compliance herewith.

         (b)      The provisions in (a) above shall not apply to (i) Permitted
Transfers and (ii) Public Sales.

         Section 6.3       Tag Along Right.

         (a)      If any Founding Shareholder (the "Tag Along Selling
Shareholder") intends to sell all or a portion of its Shares other than in
connection with an Initial Public Offering, Public Sale or a Permitted Transfer,
the Tag Along Selling Shareholder shall use its best efforts to procure that the
purchaser of such Shares shall also offer (the "Tag Along Offer") to purchase
from each of Intrinsic, Acer, Icon, Mitsubishi, Index, and Temasek (the "Tag
Along Seller") a number of Shares (including Common Shares issuable on
conversion of Preferred Shares) that represents the same ratio of the Shares
then held by each Tag Along Seller as the percentage of the Shares to be
purchased by such purchaser from the Tag Along Selling Shareholder to the total
number of Shares then held by the Tag Along Selling Shareholder. The purchase
price per Share and the terms of sale of the Shares in the Tag Along Offer shall
be the same as the proposed sale by the Tag Along Selling Shareholders to the
proposed purchaser. Any such Tag Along Offer to the each Tag Along Seller shall
be open for at least 20 days.

         (b)      If the proposed purchaser in (a) above does not agree to
increase the amount of Shares it proposes to purchase by making a Tag Along
Offer to the Tag Along Sellers, the amount of Shares to be sold by the Tag Along
Selling Shareholder shall be reduced accordingly and the proposed purchaser will
purchase such portion from the Tag Along Sellers instead. If in the case where
one or more of the Tag Along Sellers can not sell its Shares to the proposed
purchaser together with the Tag Along Selling Shareholder's Shares due to an
inability of the proposed purchaser, Tag Along Selling Shareholder shall not
sell any of its Shares to the proposed purchaser.

         Each party hereto understands and acknowledges that the Company's Share

registration statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "Commission") pursuant to this Section 9.2 to remain effective until the
first to occur of (x) the sale of all of the Registrable Securities registered
under the Securities Act pursuant to such registration statement or (y) the date
that is 180 days following the date such registration statement was declared
effective by the Commission, excluding any periods during which the Commission
shall have issued any stop order with respect to such registration statement.
The Company and Shareholders shall select the advisors, managing underwriter or
underwriters for any offering of Shares under this Section 9.2, subject to the
provisions of Section 4.4.

         (b)      If and to the extent requested by the managing underwriter of
any underwritten offering, the Company agrees (i) not to effect any public or
private sale or distribution of its Equity Linked Securities, including a sale
pursuant to Regulation D under the Securities Act, during the period specified
by such managing underwriter and (ii) to use commercially reasonable efforts to
cause each holder of its privately placed Equity Linked Securities purchased
from the Company at any time on or after the date of this Agreement to agree not
to effect any public sale or distribution of any such securities during the ten
Business Day period prior to and the 120-day period beginning on the effective
date of the registration statement filed pursuant to this Section 9.2, including
a sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (except as part of such
underwritten registration, if permitted).

         (c)      If the Company shall furnish to the holders of Registrable
Securities a certificate of the President of the Company that majority of the
members of the Board of Directors has concluded in good faith that a demand
registration of Registrable Securities by the Company pursuant to this Section
9.2 would (i) adversely affect the Company's plans for an Initial Public
Offering or (ii) adversely affect the Company for any other reason, the Company
may delay any such demand registration for up to three months, but in no case
may the Company invoke the provisions of this Section 9.2(c) more than once in
any 12 month period.

         (d)      Intrinsic shall be entitled to two effective registrations
pursuant to requests made at least nine months apart under this Section 9.2.
Each of Acer, Mitsubishi, Index, Temasek and Icon shall be entitled to one
effective registration under this Section 9.2.

         (e)      If and to the extent requested by the managing underwriter of
any underwritten offering, except pursuant to a registration statement filed
pursuant to this Section 9.2, each Shareholder agrees not to effect any sale or
distribution (other than private sales of Shares, subject to Article VI, to a
purchaser or assignee who agrees to be bound by the terms of this Section 9.2)
of any Shares during the ten Business Day period prior to, and during the
120-day period beginning on, the effective date of the registration statement
filed pursuant to this Section 9.2.

         (f)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Shareholder shall be
entitled to initiate a demand registration under Section 9.2 if the total number
of Registrable Securities to be sold by such Shareholder (and any affiliate of
the Shareholder with whom such Shareholder must aggregate its sales under Rule
144) can be presently sold in any 90-day period without registration in
compliance with Rule 144; provided that nothing in this sentence shall prevent
such Shareholder from exercising its rights under Section 9.3.

         Section 9.3 Piggy-Back Registration.

                                      -26-
<PAGE>

         (a)      Subject to the provisions of Section 9.4, if the Company at
any time (other than pursuant to Section 9.2) proposes to register for sale any
Equity Linked Security issued by the Company under the Securities Act (other
than pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-4, F-4 or S-8 or any
successor forms thereto) or, in any jurisdiction other than the United States,
it shall each such time give written notice (the "Company Registration Notice")
to the holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to do so no later than
30 days prior to the filing of such registration statement or listing
application. The Company shall notify each of the holders of Registrable
Securities in writing if the Company grants to any other Person, other than
Acer, Intrinsic, Mitsubishi, Index, Temasek or Icon, the right to require the
Company to register, under the Securities Act or any other applicable law, any
Equity Linked Securities issued by the Company.

         (b)      Upon the written request of any holder of Registrable
Securities given within 25 days after receipt of any Company Registration
Notice, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 9.4, cause all
Registrable Securities designated by such holder to be included in such
registration statement or listing application; provided, however, if the Company
elects to withdraw or delay any registration statement or listing application
contemplated by the Company Registration Notice at any time prior to the
effective date thereof, the Company shall be relieved of its obligations to
register or list the Registrable Securities hereunder (but not of its obligation
to pay the registration expenses associated therewith). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the demand registration rights of Intrinsic, Acer, Mitsubishi, Index,
Temasek and Icon set out under Section 9.2 shall not be prejudiced and each of
Intrinsic, Acer, Mitsubishi, Index, Temasek or Icon are entitled to request to
effect the registration of the Registration Securities pursuant to Section 9.2
(assuming the conditions thereof are complied with). No registration or Initial
Public Offering effected under this Section 9.3 shall relieve the Company of its
obligation to effect any registration under Section 9.2.

         Section 9.4 Adjustments to Registration.

         If for any offering pursuant to Section 9.2 or Section 9.3 the managing
underwriter, if any, advises that marketing factors require that the total
number of securities to be registered of the Company or such requesting
Shareholder plus the number of securities sought to be registered by any other
Person be limited, and (i) such registration is a registration effected pursuant
to a demand made under Section 9.2, then the securities included in such
registration shall include: first, the Registrable Securities sought to be
registered by the initiating holders thereof exercising such demand right, on a
pro rata basis, and second, to the extent that such securities may be included
in such registration, all other securities of the Company duly requested to be
included in such registration statement, on a pro rata basis, or (ii) such
registration is a registration effected pursuant to Section 9.3, then the
securities included in such registration shall include: first, all securities of
the Company proposed to be sold by the Company for its own account, second, the
securities of the Company proposed to be sold by Acer, Icon, Mitsubishi, Index,
Temasek and Intrinsic, on a pro rata basis, and third, to the extent such
securities may be included in such registration, all other securities of the
Company duly requested to be included in such registration, on a pro rata basis.
Inclusion of securities of the Company in a registration on a pro rata basis
shall be determined based on such ratio that the number or value of securities
sought to be registered by such holder exercising a demand right or other holder
bears to the total number or value of securities held by all such holders
exercising a demand right or other such holders seeking registration,
respectively.

         Section 9.5 Registration Procedures.

         (a)      If and whenever the Company is required by the provisions of
this Article IX to cause or to use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the
registration of any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Securities Act, the
Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable
rules and regulations of the Commission and, except as otherwise provided in
this Agreement, promptly:

                                      -27-
<PAGE>

                  (i)      cooperate with the sellers of Registrable Securities
         and their underwriters and enter into a usual and customary
         underwriting agreement with respect thereto and take all such other
         reasonable actions as are necessary or advisable to permit, expedite
         and facilitate the disposition of such shares in the manner
         contemplated by the related registration statement in each case to the
         same extent as if all the securities then being offered were for the
         account of the Company;

                  (ii)     provide to any seller of Registrable Securities, any
         underwriter participating in any distribution thereof pursuant to a
         registration statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent
         retained by any such seller or underwriter, reasonable access upon
         reasonable prior notice to appropriate Company officers and employees
         to answer questions and to supply information reasonably requested by
         any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in
         connection with such registration statement; provided that each such
         Person shall have executed a confidentiality agreement in form and
         substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company that restricts
         disclosure of such information unless required by applicable law;

                  (iii)    if the registration statement relates to an
         underwritten offering, furnish or cause to be furnished to each such
         seller of Registrable Securities, a copy of the opinion of counsel for
         the Company, and a copy of the "comfort" letter signed by the
         independent public accountants who have certified the Company's
         financial statements included in the registration statement, delivered
         on the closing date to the underwriters of such shares;

                  (iv)     prepare and file with the Commission a registration
         statement with respect to such securities and use commercially
         reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become and
         remain effective for 180 days; and prepare and file with the Commission
         such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the
         prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep
         such registration statement effective and to comply with the provisions
         of the Securities Act with respect to the sale or other disposition of
         all securities covered by such registration statement whenever the
         seller or sellers of Registrable Securities shall desire to sell or
         otherwise dispose of the same; provided that no such registration
         statement will be filed by the Company until counsel for the sellers of
         Registrable Securities shall have had a reasonable opportunity to
         review the same and approve any portion of such registration statement
         describing or referring to such sellers, and no amendment to any such
         registration statement initially naming such sellers as selling
         shareholders shall be filed with any governmental authority (including
         the Commission) until such sellers shall have had at least five
         Business Days to review such registration statement as originally filed
         and theretofore amended and to exercise their right to review the same
         and approve any portion of such registration statement describing or
         referring to such sellers;

                  (v)      furnish to each seller of Registrable Securities such
         numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus,
         in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such
         other documents, as such seller may reasonably request in order to
         facilitate the public sale or other disposition of such seller's
         securities;

                  (vi)     use commercially reasonable efforts to register or
         qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under
         such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as each
         seller of Registrable Securities shall reasonably request, and do any
         and all other acts which may be necessary or advisable to enable such
         seller to consummate the public sale or other disposition of the
         securities owned by such seller in such jurisdictions, except that the
         Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify to do
         business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction wherein it is not
         so qualified or to file therein any general consent to service;

                                      -28-
<PAGE>

                  (vii)    in the event of the issuance of any stop order
         suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement or of any
         order suspending or preventing the use of any prospectus or suspending
         the qualification of any shares for sale in any jurisdiction, use
         commercially reasonable efforts promptly to obtain its withdrawal;

                  (viii)   make available to its security holders, as soon as
         reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at
         least 12 months, beginning with the first fiscal quarter beginning
         after the effective date of the registration statement, which earnings
         statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the
         Securities Act; and

                  (ix)     list such Registrable Securities on any securities
         exchange on which any securities of the Company are then listed, if the
         listing of such securities is then permitted under the rules of such
         exchange.

         (b)      The Shareholders agree that, upon receipt of any written
notice from the Company of (i) any request by the Commission for amendments or
supplements to a registration statement or related prospectus, (ii) the issuance
by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a
registration statement or the initiation of any proceeding for that purpose,
(iii) receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension
or qualification of any shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of
any proceeding for such purpose, and (iv) the occurrence of any event which
requires the making of any changes in a registration statement or related
prospectus so that such documents will not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, the Shareholders
will forthwith discontinue disposition of securities covered by such
registration statement or prospectus (which discontinuance as to the
circumstance described in clause (iii) shall be limited to the particular
jurisdiction involved and shall be subject to the Company's use of commercially
reasonable efforts to promptly cause such suspension or qualification to be
terminated) until the Shareholders shall have received copies of a supplemented
or amended prospectus or written notice by the Company that the use of the
applicable prospectus may be resumed, and any additional or supplemental filings
which are incorporated by reference in such prospectus. At the request of the
Company, the Shareholders will deliver to the Company (at the Company's expense)
all copies, other than permanent file copies then in the Shareholders'
possession, of the prospectus covering such securities current at the time of
receipt of such notice.

         Section 9.6 Expenses; Limitations on Registration.

         (a)      All expenses incident to the Company's performance of its
obligations in connection with any registration of the Registrable Securities
under this Agreement including, without limitation, printing expenses, fees and
disbursements of counsel for the Company, fees of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. and the Commission in connection with their review of
any offering contemplated in any registration statement, and expenses of any
special audits and independent consultant reports which shall be necessary to
comply with the Securities Act and other applicable law in connection with any
such registration shall be paid by the Company. In connection with each
registration, the Company shall pay (i) all registration and filing fees for the
Registrable Securities and (ii) expenses of complying with the securities or
blue sky laws of any jurisdictions pursuant to Section 9.5(a)(vi), and (iii)
reasonable fees and expenses of one law firm that acts as special counsel for
the Shareholders.

         (b)      It shall be a condition precedent to the obligation of the
Company to take any action pursuant to this Article IX in respect of the
Registrable Securities which are to be registered at the request of any
Shareholder that (i) subject to the immediately preceding paragraph, the Company
shall have received an undertaking satisfactory to it from such Shareholder to
pay, or have deducted from the proceeds from the sale of securities pursuant to
a registration, all underwriters' discounts, selling

                                      -29-
<PAGE>

commissions, stock transfer taxes and other similar selling expenses to be
incurred in respect of the sale of Registrable Securities by such Shareholder,
and (ii) such Shareholder shall furnish to the Company such information
regarding the securities held by such Shareholder and the intended method of
disposition of the Registrable Securities as the Company shall reasonably
request and as shall be required in connection with the action to be taken by
the Company.

         Section 9.7 Indemnification.

         (a)      In the event of any registration of any Registrable Securities
pursuant to this Article IX, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the
seller of such Registrable Securities, such seller's directors, partners,
employees, agents and officers, and each other Person, if any, who controls,
within the meaning of the Securities Act (a "Controlling Person"), such seller
against any Losses to which such seller or any such director or officer or
Controlling Person may become subject under the Securities Act or any other U.S.
or foreign statute or rule or at common law, insofar as such Losses (or actions
in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any alleged untrue
statement of any material fact contained, on the effective date thereof, in any
registration statement under which such securities were registered under the
Securities Act, or in any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained
therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii) any alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading, and shall reimburse such seller or such
director, officer, partner, employee, agent or Controlling Person for any legal
or any other expenses reasonably incurred, as incurred, by such seller or such
director, officer, partner, employees, agent or Controlling Person in connection
with investigating or defending any such Loss; provided, however, that the
Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Loss
arises out of or is based upon any alleged untrue statement or alleged omission
made in such registration statement, preliminary prospectus, prospectus, or
amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by such seller specifically for use
therein; provided, further, that the foregoing indemnity agreement shall not
inure to the benefit of any seller of Registrable Securities from whom the
Person asserting any such Losses purchased Registrable Securities, or any
Controlling Person, if a copy of the prospectus (as then amended or
supplemented) was provided by the Company to such seller and was not sent or
given by or on behalf of such seller of Registrable Securities to such Person,
if required by law so to have been delivered, at or prior to the written
confirmation of the sale of the Registrable Securities to such Person, and if
such prospectus (as so amended or supplemented) would have cured the defect
giving rise to such Losses.

         (b)      Each holder of any Registrable Securities shall, by acceptance
thereof, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors and officers and
each other Person, if any, who controls the Company against any Losses to which
the Company or any such director or officer or any other Person controlling the
Company may become subject under the Securities Act or under any other U.S. or
foreign statute or rule or at common law, insofar as such Losses (or actions in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any alleged untrue statement
of any material fact contained, on the effective date thereof, in any
registration statement under which securities were registered, or in any
preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment
or supplement thereto, or (ii) any alleged omission to state therein a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent that such
alleged untrue statement or alleged omission was contained in written
information furnished to the Company by such holder specifically for use
therein, and shall reimburse the Company or such director, officer or other
Controlling Person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred, as
incurred, in connection with investigating or defending any such Loss, provided
that in no event shall any such holder be required to indemnify for Losses in
excess of the proceeds received by such holder from the disposition of
Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement.

                                      -30-
<PAGE>

         (c)      The indemnity obligations provided in this Section 9.7 shall
remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on
behalf of any seller or such director, officer, partner, employee, agent or
Controlling Person, or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or directors
or any other Person controlling the Company and shall survive the transfer of
such Registrable Securities by such seller and the expiration or termination of
this Agreement.

         (d)      Indemnification similar to that specified in Sections 9.7(a)
and 9.7(b) shall be given by the Company and each holder of any Registrable
Securities (with such modifications as shall be appropriate) to any underwriter
and indemnification that is customarily given by underwriters in public
offerings in the applicable place of registration or qualification shall be
given by the underwriter to the Company and each holder of any Registrable
Securities, in each case with respect to any required registration or other
qualification of any Registrable Securities under any applicable law. The
indemnity and expense reimbursements obligations of the Company and the holders
provided in this Section 9.7 shall be in addition to any liability the Company
and the holders may otherwise have.

         No party shall Transfer all or any part of its rights or obligations
under this Agreement, except (i) in connection with a Transfer of Shares
effected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (ii) with the prior
written consent of all other parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably

herein are assignable, except that:

                  (i)      the information rights provided under Section 5.3
         shall not be assignable to any Transferee if 75% of the Company's
         directors appointed by the Shareholders other than the Shareholder
         assigning such rights determine, in good faith, that the Transferee is
         a competitor of the Company;

                  (ii)     in respect of Icon, other than in a Permitted
         Transfer, none of the rights provided under Sections 4.1 or 9.2(d)
         shall be assignable to any Transferee.

         Section 10.5 No Third Party Beneficiary.

         Nothing in this Agreement shall confer any rights upon any person or
entity which is not a party to this Agreement, except as expressly set forth
herein.

         Section 10.6 Further Assurances.

         Each of the parties hereto shall give such further assurance, provide
such further information, take such further actions and execute and deliver such
further documents and instruments, as are, in each case, within its power to
give, provide and take so as to give full effect to the provisions of this
Agreement. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Shareholder shall, subject
to applicable law, vote its Shares, take all actions necessary and procure that
its appointed directors take all action necessary, to (a) implement the
provisions of this Agreement, including without limitation the minority
protection rights in Section 4.4 and the Memorandum and Articles of Association,
and (b) ensure that the Memorandum and Articles of Association and the
respective memorandum and articles of association of each of the Company's
Subsidiaries do not at any time conflict with any provision of this Agreement.

         This Agreement shall be executed in the English language and such

delivery of this Agreement.

         Section 10.10 Amendment and Waiver.

         No amendment or waiver hereto shall be effective or binding on any of
the parties hereto unless in writing and signed by each of the parties, except
with respect to Series A Preferred Shareholders, any amendment or waiver shall
be effective and binding on all Series A Preferred Shareholders if agreed to by
the holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred Shares. Any waiver by any of
the parties hereto of any right hereunder or any breach hereof by another party
shall not constitute a waiver of any other right or any other breach by such
other party, whether of a similar or different nature thereto.

         Section 10.11 Remedies.

         In the event of any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by

unenforceable in one jurisdiction or in any respect for any reason, the
validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in other
jurisdictions or in every other respect and of the remaining provisions
contained herein shall not be in any way impaired thereby, it being intended
that all of the rights and privileges of the parties hereto shall be enforceable
to the fullest extent permitted by law.

         Section 10.14 Counterparts.

constitute one and the same instrument.

         Section 10.15 No Joint Venture.

         The parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledge that it is their
intention and understanding that the transactions contemplated hereby do not in
any way constitute or imply the formation of a joint venture or partnership

power to act as agent for, or the responsibility for the acts or commitments of,
any other party hereto.

         Section 10.20 QEF Election; U.S. Tax Issues.

         The parties hereto understand and agree that, if the Company becomes a
passive foreign investment company for United States federal income tax
purposes, Shareholders that are deemed United States entities may elect to treat
the Company as a qualified electing fund ("QEF") within the meaning of section
1295 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company agrees to take such action and
provide such information as may be necessary (including providing a PFIC Annual
Information Statement) within the meaning of Treasury Regulations section
1.1295-1(f) to permit such Shareholders and their Affiliates to make such an
election.

         The Company and the Shareholders hereby agree that they will cooperate
in good faith with the reasonable requests of Shareholders and their Affiliates
who are United States taxpayers on all matters relating to their particular
United States tax issues, including, without limitation, having the Company or
any Subsidiaries make any "check the box" elections in order that the Company or
any Subsidiaries be treated as other than corporations for United States federal
tax purposes, such election to be made effective on or prior to the date of this
Agreement.
