full on the date falling 3 years after the date hereof.

    

    (4) 
 Except otherwise specified herein, with respect to each Bank’s Commitment
to be reduced as a result of repayment by the Borrower under the Agreement, each
such Commitment shall be reduced on a pro-rata basis in accordance with the
Commitment Ratio.  If it is technically impossible for each such
Commitment to be reduced strictly in accordance with the Commitment Ration, the
Agent may determine the actual reduction with respect to each Bank’s Commitment
based on its reasonable judgment, and no objection from the Borrower or any Bank
shall be made.  The Borrower may not draw down any Commitment so
reduced.

    

    (5) 
The Borrower shall make all necessary payments  on such dates and in
such amounts to ensure that the Commitment shall be repaid and reduced in such
amounts and schedules as provided for hereunder.

from the Borrower or any Bank shall be made.

    

    
      2.4.    
 Repayment, Reduction and

accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement.

    

    2.4.2.  
Each Bank shall perform its Commitment and obligations under this Agreement to
provide the Loans based on its then valid/available Commitment; provided, that a Bank
shall not be required to maintain or perform the Commitment under this Agreement
if it discovers prior to performing such Commitment that the maintenance or
performance of the same will result in its violation of laws or regulations, or
if such Bank is precluded by other applicable laws or regulations from
maintaining or performing such obligations under this Agreement (in which case,
the Bank shall immediately notify the Borrower and Agent).  If a Bank
discovers after performing

Commitment that its maintenance of the same constitutes or will constitute a

relevant obligation(s) within 5 Business Days (or a longer period permitted by
laws and regulations for cure) of its receipt of the notice from such Bank, and
such Bank's Commitment shall immediately be cancelled or reduced to the extent
permitted by laws and regulations.  If the Bank is responsible for
such violation of laws or regulations mentioned above, such Bank shall make
other arrangements for the Borrower for substitute financing under terms
comparable to those offered by this Agreement.  If the above-mentioned
violation of laws or regulations is not attributable to such Bank, such Bank
shall negotiate with the Borrower and use reasonable efforts to, arrange for, or
assist the Borrower in obtaining other financing to the extent permissible by
laws and regulations; provided, that
neither the Agent nor any such Bank shall guarantee that such other financing
may be procured.

minimum amount of NT$500,000,000, and any portion of such prepayment in excess
of NT$500,000,000 shall be in multiples of NT$300,000,000 (unless the entire
outstanding balance of the Borrower’s Loan is less than NT$500,000,000, or the
portion of the Borrower’s outstanding Loan in excess of NT$500,000,000 is not a
multiple of NT$300,000,000, in which case the Borrower must prepay the entire
outstanding balance of its Loan).

    

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

    

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

    

    2.4.4.  
The Commitment, once prepaid, may not be drawn down again.  Following
each prepayment, each Bank’s Commitment shall be reduced on a pro-rata
basis, based on the ratio of each Bank's outstanding Loan to the Borrower to the
sum of all the Banks' outstanding Loans to the Borrower.  If it is
technically impossible for each Bank’s Commitmnt to be reduced in accordance
with the aforesaid ratio, the Agent may determine the actual allocation of such
reduction of 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        7

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    Commitment
amongst the Banks based on its reasonable judgment, and no objection from the
Borrower or any of the Banks shall be made.

    

    2.4.5.  
The amounts prepaid shall be applied to prepayment of the Loans pro-rata to each
of the remaining Repayment Installments to reduce the amount of each remaining
Repayment Installment (without affecting the schedule and dates of the repayment
hereunder).

    

    2.4.6.  
Unless otherwise provided by this Agreement, no Commitment under this Agreement
may be cancelled absent the prior consent of all the Banks.

    

    2.4.7.   In
cases where a Bank exercises the Option, once the Commitment of such Bank is
repaid in full, such Bank shall no longer be a Bank as defined
herein.

    3.1.1.  
Subject to the Borrower having complied with the conditions precedent set out in
this Agreement, the Borrower may, within the availability period and up to the
Total Commitment, drawdown the Loans/Advances pursuant to this
Agreement.  Each  Drawdown shall be effected pro-rata to the
Commitment Ratio of each Bank.

    

    3.1.2.  
The Commitment is not a revolving commitment but may be drawn in one or more
(but in any event, not more than three) installments.

    

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

     

    3.1.4.  
Unless otherwise agreed by the Agent, the amount of each Loan to be drawn shall
be in the minimum amount of NT$1,000,000,000; provided, unless
otherwise provided by the Agreement, if the balance of the undrawn Commitment is
less than such minimum, the amount to be drawn shall be the then entire balance
of such undrawn Commitment.

    

    3.2.   
  Each
Drawdown.

    

    3.2.1.  
Subject to the Borrower having fully complied with or performed the conditions
precedent to Drawdown as set out in this Agreement, the Borrower may, at any
time, with at least three Business Day prior written notice to the Agent in the
form of EXHIBIT I hereto
("Drawdown

and conditions set out in this Agreement.  Each Bank shall, upon such
request and to the extent of its respective Commitment, make such Loans to the

    Commitment
Ratio; provided, that its
obligation to make such Loans is subject to the condition that none of the
following circumstances shall have occurred prior to such request for drawdown:
(a) such Drawdown will cause the total Loan outstanding hereunder to exceed the
total available Commitment; (b) the Drawdown will cause the Loan outstanding
with respect to any Bank hereunder to exceed its then available Commitment or to
exceed its Commitment Ratio; (c) the Drawdown Date will be later than the
Commitment Termination Date; or (d) the Drawdown otherwise does not comply with
the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

     

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

    

    3.2.3.  
Upon its receipt by fax of a Drawdown Request from the Borrower, the Agent shall
notify each Bank in writing (in form of Exhibit II hereto), stating
the date on which each Bank is to make available its Loan and the amount to be
advanced by each Bank in accordance with its respective Commitment
Ratio.  Each Bank shall, pursuant to such notice and this Agreement,
make available such Loans in immediately available funds not later than 12:00
noon time on the Drawdown Date as specified in the Drawdown Request and to the
account designated by the Agent.  Unless notified prior to the
Drawdown Date, the Agent may assume that each Bank is capable of advancing
payment pursuant to this Agreement and, on the basis of such assumption, may
(but is not obligated to) timely make available the funds to the Borrower,
unless the Agent has received a written notice from any of the Banks prior to
the Drawdown Date stating that such Bank is unable to make such
Advance.  Notwithstanding the above, the Agent is under no obligation
to make available or advance any sum to the Borrower on behalf of the Banks
unless and until the Agent actually receives the funds made available by the
Banks pursuant to this Agreement.  If the Agent makes available to the
Borrower the funds required under the Agreement to be advanced by any Bank, and
such Bank shall fail to actually make available to the Agent such funds, the
Borrower shall at any time, upon the Agent's demand, refund such funds to the
Agent together with interest thereon, which interest shall be based on the
highest interest rate for overnight funding as shown on the PIBC page of Reuters
Screen (“PIBC
Overnight Rate”), calculated for the period from the Drawdown Date to

of the Agent's actual receipt of the refunds thereof (the Agent shall issue to
the Borrower receipt for any such interest payment).

    

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

the Agent to the Banks pursuant to the applicable provisions of this
Agreement.

        10

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    and paid
by the Borrower is 5%.  In the event the business tax
rate changes, the changed rate will be utilized; however the Borrower will
still bear the full costs for the provision for bad debt.  If the
Banks’ overdue loan ratio decreases and no longer need to provide the 3%
provision for bad debt, the Banks should notify the Agent.  Upon
receipt of such notice, at the next payment period, the Agent should calculate
business tax at the rate of 2%.  The Agent, however is not obligated
to verify the Banks’ business tax and may continue to calculate the business tax
at 5%.

    

    4.3.    
 Others and Fee
Adjustment.

    

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

    

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

    

    4.4.  
   Payment
Terms and Default Interest.

    

    4.4.1.  
The Borrower shall pay to the Agent in accordance with applicable provisions of
this Agreement, all sums (such as principal, interests or fees) which it is
required to pay by this Agreement or related documents, in immediately available
funds and in NT Dollars before 1:00 pm (Taipei time) on the due
date.

    

    4.4.2.  
Any sum payable hereunder may be paid on the next Business Day if the due date
thereof is not a Business Day, unless such Business Day falls in another
calendar month, in which case the payment shall be made on the Business
Day

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        11

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    immediately
preceding the due day.

    

    4.4.3.   If
any of the payments required under this Agreement is not paid when due, the
Borrower shall immediate cure such nonpayment pursuant to the Agreement, and pay
interests thereon to the Banks and/or the Agent at the Default Rate, calculated
on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed, for the
period from the due date to the date of actual receipt by the Banks and/or the
Agent of such payment.  If any such nonpayment pertains to interest
payments, a penalty equal to 10% of the overdue nonpayment shall be levied
against the Borrower for the first 6 months, and a penalty equal to 20% of the
overdue amount shall be levied against the Borrower if such nonpayment remains
outstanding for more than six months.

    

    4.4.4.  
All payments to the Banks from the Borrower under this Agreement shall be paid
to the Agent for its distribution to the Banks.  Payments made
directly to the Banks by the Borrower will not relieve Borrower of its
obligations under the Agreement.  Save for payments payable solely to
the Arrangers or the Agent, the Agent shall, upon its receipt from the Borrower
of payments due to the Banks, distribute and forward such payments to each Bank
for repayment.  Each Bank, the Arrangers and the Agent shall issue and
deliver a receipt directly to the Borrower for payment received.

    

    4.5.  
Cost Increase, Taxes
and Change of Law.

    

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

    

    4.5.2.  
Unless otherwise expressly provided by this Agreement, any and all other present
and future taxes and fees payable or arising from this Agreement or this
Facility shall be borne by the Borrower.  If any Bank or the Agent
pay(s) such taxes on the Borrower’s behalf, the Borrower shall reimburse such

Default Rate (on a floating rate basis) on such sums for the period from the
date such Bank or the Agent makes such payment to the date the Borrower actually
makes such reimbursement in full.

    

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

    

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

    

    4.6.  
   Application of
Payments.

    

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

    

    4.6.2.  
Unless otherwise provided for in this Agreement, the Agent shall forward to the
Banks all sums received from the Borrower and payable to the Banks, upon its
actual receipt of 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        13

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

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

    

    4.7.    
Facility
Records.  The Agent shall maintain records relevant to the
Facility and shall document the Drawdowns of the Commitment by the Borrower and
the payments made by the Borrower to each Bank.  Details of the
outstanding sums due from the Borrower under this Agreement shall be evidenced
by such records, unless the Borrower can present specific evidence of manifest
errors in such records.  The Borrower further agrees to issue such new
negotiable instruments or certificate of claims to the Agent according to the
Agent's records if any negotiable instrument or certificate of claims provided
by the Borrower to the Agent pursuant to the Agreement is lost, damaged or
destroyed, and the Borrower shall at all times unconditionally cooperate with
the Agent in the event the Agent is required by laws or regulations to report
loss and/or proceed with other relevant formalities due to the loss, damage or
destruction of any negotiable instrument or other certificate of
claims.  In respect of the Agent’s payment to each Bank, so long as
the fund is remitted by the Agent to the bank account designated by each Bank in
accordance with this Agreement, the Agent shall have no further obligation with
respect to such payment.

    

    4.8.    
Liability
Limitation.  Notwithstanding any provision herein, absent
willful misconduct or gross negligence, no Bank or any of its employees or
affiliates shall be liable to the Borrower under this Agreement; and under no
circumstances would any of them be liable for any indirect damages, loss of
profit or punitive damages.

    

    

    ARTICLE
V.   PARTIES.

    

    5.1.    
 Several
Obligations of the Banks.  The commitments to lend and relevant
obligations of the Banks under this Agreement are separate and

Bank.  The Banks are not jointly liable with one another for the
obligations under this Agreement.

hereunder, and all their rights and claims under this Agreement shall be
exercised in accordance with the applicable provisions of this
Agreement.  Specifically, except for exercise of the set-off right as
provided for in this Agreement, absent the written concurrence of the Majority
Banks, no Bank may take any action with respect to any matter under this
Agreement or take any action or inaction that conflicts or is inconsistent with
the decisions of the Majority Banks.

    

    5.2.2.  
All of the Borrower, the Banks and the Agent agree that the Agent shall be the
payee of the Notes issued by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, and if the

as applicable, and the Agent shall act in its capacity as a joint and several
creditor with respect to these interests pursuant to this

actions taken in accordance with the written instructions of the Majority Banks,
or actions subsequently approved by the Majority Banks.  Unless the
Majority Banks have issued a written instruction to the Agent to take a specific
action, the Agent shall not be held responsible in any way for failing to take
such action.  Irrespective of any other provisions to the contrary in
this

    Agreement,
the Agent may refuse to take any action on behalf of the Banks if the legitimacy
of the instructions from the Banks are in doubt or until it has received
confirmation that it will be satisfactorily reimbursed for the related
costs.  In addition, except for exercising the set-off right
hereunder, no Bank may take any action individually without the written consent
of the Majority Banks, nor take any action or make any omission that would

made by the Majority Banks pursuant to relevant provisions of this Agreement
shall be binding on all of the Banks).

Agent shall handle matters relating to this Agreement (including but not limited

respect of documents submitted to the Agent by the Banks and the Borrower in
accordance with this Agreement, the Agent shall verify the signatures and chops
in accordance with normal procedures, but is not required to further examine the

handling matters relating to the Commitment (such as advance, repayment,
reduction, etc.), the Agent shall allocate the Commitment in accordance with the

negligence of the Agent.

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

    

    10.9.    During
the term of this Agreement, the Agent, the Arrangers or any of the Banks may

capacities other than as the Agent, an Arranger or a Bank. Such transactions
shall not be affected by the Agreement.

    

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

the payments received by the Agent from the Borrower for the common interest of
the Banks and payments from the Banks to be distributed to the Borrower, shall

to each Bank by the Business Day following actual receipt
thereof.  The Agent’s obligation to distribute the said payments shall

    to)
distribute or pay such amounts to each of the Banks on the basis of such
assumption and in the aforementioned manner.  However, where the Agent
relies on such assumption in making the payment, but subsequently finds that it
has not actually received the relevant payment, the Bank or the Borrower which
receives the said amount from the Agent shall refund the payment immediately
upon receiving the notice from the Agent, and shall pay interest to the Agent
from the date that it receives the payment and until the date that refund is
actually made to the Agent, calculated at the PIBC overnight Rate.

    

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

    

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

    

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

    

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

    

    10.16.  Unless

negligence.

Agent may outsource the matters to be handled by it under this Agreement to

XI.   SET-OFF.

    

    11.1.    In
the event that the Borrower fails to perform its obligations under this
Agreement or any other relevant agreement in connection with the Facility, each
of the Banks and the Agent, in addition to exercising the various rights of
claim under this Agreement, shall also be entitled to (but are

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

    

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

    

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

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

XII.   EXPENSES.

    

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

    

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

    

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

    

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

      all the exercise of intellectual property rights ("IPRs"), except those of
      which Aimhigh has the exclusive right, by Aimhigh now shall have been duly

      authorization has expired or will expire within six months from the
      execution of this agreement, Sellers shall proactively procure the
      execution of any contract or agreement concerning the extension of
      exercising of the relevant IPRs. Sellers shall undertake that, under no

      business operation due to failure of exercising the relevant IPRs. Should
      the foregoing occur and cause any loss or damage to Aimhigh or the New
      Aimhigh, Sellers shall ensure that, under the instruction of Buyer,
      indemnify Aimhigh or the New Aimhigh, or Buyer directly, against such loss
      or damage promptly.  It shall not to be deemed as breach of this

      threatened against, relating to or involving Aimhigh, nor shall it be
      subject to any serious existing or potential administrative punishment or
      sanction with Serious Impact from PRC taxation authorities, Bureau for
      Industry and Commerce and labor protection authorities, etc. If the
      foregoing circumstances occur and Aimhigh or the New Aimhigh has paid any
      overdue fine, compensation or penalty therefore, Sellers shall indemnify
      Aimhigh or the New Aimhigh, or Buyer directly. It shall not be deemed as
