                Company agrees to pay all fees and expenses within 30 days of the
                date of
                the respective billing notice, except for any fees or expenses that
                are
                subject to good faith dispute. In the event of such dispute, the
                Company
                may only withhold that portion of the fee or expense subject to such
                dispute. The Company shall settle such disputed amounts within five
                (5)
                business days of the day on which the parties agree on the amount
                to be
                paid by payment of the agreed amount. If no agreement is reached,
                then
                such disputed amounts shall be settled as may be required by law
                or legal
                process.

            

    

    

    
      	 	 	
              (d)

            	
              If
                any undisputed amount in an invoice of the Depositary (for fees or
                reimbursable expenses) is not paid within 30 days after receipt of
                such
                invoice, the Depositary shall provide the Company with notice of
                such
                unpaid invoice, and the Company shall pay the Depositary interest
                thereon
                (from the due date to the date of payment) at a per annum rate equal
                to
                eighteen percent (18%). Notwithstanding any other provision hereof,
                such
                interest rate shall be no greater than permitted under applicable
                provisions of New York law.

              (e)

            	
              The
                failure by the Company to pay an invoice within 90 days after receipt
                of
                such invoice or the failure by the Company to timely pay two consecutive
                invoices shall constitute a material breach for which the Depositary
                may
                terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section
                6.02.

              The
                Depositary shall notify the Company or the Bank of any appointment
                of
                non-affiliated agents and shall remain responsible for the performance
                of
                its obligations hereunder as if no Depositary Agent were
                appointed.

              Sections
                7.10, 7.11, 7.12, 7.13 and 7.14.
                The following new sections are added to Article
                7:

            

    

    

    SECTION
      7.10. Force Majeure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
      the Depositary shall not be liable to the Company or the Bank for any delays
      or
      failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its reasonable control
      including, without limitation, acts of God, terrorist acts, shortage of supply,
      breakdowns or malfunctions, interruptions or malfunction of computer facilities,
      labor difficulties, war, civil unrest, or loss of data due to power failures
      or
      mechanical difficulties with information storage or retrieval
      systems.

    

    SECTION
      7.11 No Expenditure of Funds. No provision of this Deposit Agreement shall
      require the Depositary to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any
      financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in
      the
      exercise of its rights if it shall believe in good faith that repayment of
      such
      funds or adequate indemnification against such risk or liability is not
      reasonably assured to it.

    

    SECTION
      7.12. Confidentiality.

    

    (a)
      Definition.
      Each
      party acknowledges and understands that any and all technical, trade secret,
      or
      business information, including, without limitation, financial information,
      business or marketing strategies or plans, product development, Company or
      Bank
      information, Holder information (including any non-public information of such
      Holder), Proprietary Information, or proprietary software (including methods
      or
      concepts used therein, sources code, object code, or related technical
      information) which has been or is disclosed to the other or has been or is
      otherwise obtained by the other, its affiliates, agents or representatives
      before or during the term of this Deposit Agreement (the “Confidential
      Information”) is confidential and proprietary, constitutes trade secrets of the
      owner (or its affiliates), and is of great value and importance to the success
      of the owner’s (or its affiliates’) business. The parties shall treat the terms
      and conditions (but not the existence) of this Deposit Agreement as the
      Confidential Information of the other party. Confidential Information shall
      not
      include any information that is: (i) already known to the other party or its
      affiliates at the time of the disclosure; (ii) publicly known at the time of
      the
      disclosure or becomes publicly known through no wrongful act or failure of
      the
      other party; (iii) subsequently disclosed to the other party or its affiliates
      on a non-confidential basis by a third party not having a confidential
      relationship with the owner and which rightfully acquired such information;
      or
      (iv) independently developed by one party without access to the Confidential
      Information of the other.

    

    
      
        
        

      

      
        -4-

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (b)
      Use
      and Disclosure.
      All
      Confidential Information relating to a party will be held in confidence by
      the
      other party to the same extent and with at least the same degree of care as
      such
      party protects its own confidential or proprietary information of like kind
      and
      import, but in no event using less than a reasonable degree of care. Neither
      party will disclose, duplicate, publish, release, transfer or otherwise make
      available Confidential Information of the other party in any form to, or for
      the
      use or benefit of, any person or entity without the other party’s consent. Each
      party will, however, be permitted to disclose relevant aspects of the other
      party’s Confidential Information to its officers, affiliates, agents,
      subcontractors and employees to the extent that such disclosure is reasonably
      necessary for the performance of its duties and obligations under this Agreement
      and such disclosure is not prohibited by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999
      (15
      U.S.C. 6801 et seq.), as it may be amended from time to time (the “GLB Act”),
      the regulations promulgated thereunder or other applicable law. Each party
      will
      establish commercially reasonable controls to ensure the confidentiality of
      the
      Confidential Information and to ensure that the Confidential Information is
      not
      disclosed contrary to the provisions of this Deposit Agreement, the GLB Act
      or
      any other applicable privacy law. Without limiting the foregoing, each party
      will implement such physical and other security measures as are necessary to
      (i) ensure the security and confidentiality of the Confidential
      Information; (ii) protect against any threats or hazards to the security
      and integrity of the Confidential Information; and (iii) protect against
      any unauthorized access to or use of the Confidential Information. To
      the
      extent that any duties and responsibilities under this Deposit Agreement are
      delegated to an agent or other subcontractor, the party ensures that such agent
      and subcontractor are contractually bound to confidentiality terms consistent
      with the terms of this Section 7.12. 

    

    (c)
      Required
      or Permitted Disclosure.
      In the
      event that any requests or demands are made for the disclosure of Confidential
      Information, other than requests to the Depositary for records of Holders
      pursuant to standard subpoenas from state or federal government authorities
      (e.g., in divorce and criminal actions), the party receiving such request will
      notify the other party to secure instructions from an authorized officer of
      such
      party as to such request and to enable the other party the opportunity to obtain
      a protective order or other confidential treatment, unless such notification
      is
      otherwise prohibited by law or court order. Each party expressly reserves the
      right, however, to disclose Confidential Information to any person whenever
      it
      is advised by counsel that it may be held liable for the failure to disclose
      such Confidential Information or if required by law or court order.

    

    (d)
      Unauthorized
      Disclosure.
      As may
      be required by law and without limiting either party’s rights in respect of a
      breach of this Section, each party will:

    

    
      	 	
              (i)

            	
              promptly
                notify the other party in writing of any unauthorized possession,
                use or
                disclosure of the other party’s Confidential Information by any person or
                entity that may become known to such
                party;

            

    

    

    
      	 	
              (ii)

            	
              promptly
                furnish to the other party full details of the unauthorized possession,
                use or disclosure; and

            

    

    

    
      	 	
              (iii)

            	
              promptly
                use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent a recurrence of any
                such
                unauthorized possession, use or disclosure of Confidential
                Information.

            

    

    

    (e)
      Costs.
      Each
      party will bear the costs it incurs as a result of compliance with this Section
      7.12.

    

    SECTION
      7.13. Damages.
       No
      party
      shall be liable for any incidental, indirect, special or consequential damages
      of any nature whatsoever, including, but not limited to, loss of anticipated
      profits, occasioned by a breach of any provision of this Deposit Agreement
      even
      if apprised of the possibility of such damages. 

    

    SECTION
      7.14. Survival. All provisions regarding indemnification, warranty, liability
      and limits thereon, and confidentiality and protection of proprietary rights
      and
      trade secrets shall survive the termination or expiration of this Deposit
      Agreement.
