9. Indemnity and Contribution.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, each affiliate of an Underwriter selling underwritten ADSs or Shares on behalf of an Underwriter (a “ Selling Affiliate ”), and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made), except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon Shareholder Information or information furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein; provided, however , that the foregoing indemnity agreement with respect to any Preliminary Prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased ADSs, or any person controlling such Underwriter, to the extent that any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities of such Underwriter result from the fact that such Underwriter sold ADSs to a person as to whom it shall be established that there was not sent or given to such person by or on behalf of such Underwriter, if such delivery is required by the Act, at or prior to the time when the written confirmation of the sale of ADSs to such person shall be sent or given, a copy of the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented), if the Company has previously and timely furnished copies thereof in sufficient quantity to such Underwriter and such losses, claims, damages or liabilities of such Underwriter result from an untrue statement or omission of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Prospectus which was corrected in the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented), unless such failure is the result of noncompliance by the Company with Section 7(a)(i) or 7(a)(iii) of this Agreement. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.

(b) The Selling Shareholder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, each Selling Affiliate, and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made), in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alledged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with Shareholder Information; provided, however , that the foregoing indemnity agreement with respect to any Preliminary Prospectus

25

shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased ADSs, or any person controlling such Underwriter, to the extent that any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities of such Underwriter result from the fact that such Underwriter sold ADSs to a person as to whom it shall be established that there was not sent or given to such person by or on behalf of such Underwriter, if such delivery is required by the Act, at or prior to the time when the written confirmation of the sale of ADSs to such person shall be sent or given, a copy of the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented), if the Company has previously and timely furnished copies thereof in sufficient quantity to such Underwriter and such losses, claims, damages or liabilities of such Underwriter result from an untrue statement or omission of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Prospectus which was corrected in the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented), unless such failure is the result of noncompliance by the Company with Section 7(a)(i) or 7(a)(iii) of this Agreement. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Selling Shareholder may otherwise have.

(c) Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Selling Shareholders, the directors of the Company, the officers of the Company who sign the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company and the Selling Shareholders to such Underwriter, but only with reference to information furnished to the Company or the Selling Shareholders in writing by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, or the Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto.

(d) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 9(a), 9(b) or 9(c), such person (the “ indemnified party ”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “ indemnifying party ”) in writing but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under Section 9(a), 9(b) or 9(c) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnification obligation provided in Section 9(a), 9(b) or 9(c) above.

The indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interest between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate law firm (in addition to

26

any local counsel) for that indemnified party and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the Representatives, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 9(a) or 9(b) and by the Company in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 9(c). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this second paragraph of this Section 9(d), the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 60 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

(e) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 9(a), 9(b) or 9(c) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Shareholders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the ADSs or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 9(e)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 9(e)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Selling Shareholders on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Shareholders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the offering of the ADSs under this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the ADSs under this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Selling Shareholders and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters with respect to the ADSs under this Agreement, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate public offering price of the ADSs. The relative fault of the Company, the Selling Shareholder and the Underwriters shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, Selling Shareholders or the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute

27

pursuant to this Section 9 are several in proportion to the respective number of ADSs they have purchased hereunder, and not joint.

(f) The Company and the Selling Shareholders and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 9(e). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the ADSs underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 9 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

(g) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 9 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the Selling Shareholders contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any person controlling any Underwriter, any Selling Shareholder or any person controlling any Selling Shareholder or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of any payment for any of the ADSs.

10. Termination. The Representatives may terminate this Agreement in their absolute discretion, by notice given to the Company and the Selling Shareholders, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the First Time of Delivery there shall have occurred any of the following: (i) a suspension or material limitation in trading securities generally on or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange, or the Korea Stock Exchange; trading of any securities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall have been suspended or materially limited on any such exchange (ii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities declared by relevant Korean, United States federal, New York State or United Kingdom authorities or a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States, the United Kingdom or Korea; (iii) the outbreak or escalation of hostilities involving the United States, or Korea or the declaration by the United States or Korea of a national emergency or war, if the effect of any such event specified in this clause (iii), in the judgment of the Representatives, after consultation with the Company and the Selling Shareholders to the extent practicable, makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the Global Offering or the delivery of the ADSs on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented; or (iv) any other calamity or crisis or any material adverse change in existing Korean or international financial, political or economic conditions or Korean or the U.S. currency

28

exchange rates or exchange controls, if the effect of any such event specified in this clause (iv), in the judgment of the Representatives, after consultation with the Company and the Selling Shareholders to the extent practicable, makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the Global Offering or the delivery of the ADSs on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented.

11. Effectiveness: Defaulting Underwriters . This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

If, on a Time of Delivery, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase ADSs that it has or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate number of ADSs which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of the ADSs to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the number of ADSs set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule I bears to the aggregate number of ADSs set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as you may specify, to purchase the ADSs which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the number of ADSs that any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section 11 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such number of ADSs without the written consent of such Underwriter. If, on a Time of Delivery, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase ADSs and the aggregate number of ADSs with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of ADSs to be purchased, and arrangements satisfactory to you, the Company and the Selling Shareholder for the purchase of such ADSs are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter, the Company and the Selling Shareholders. In any such case the Company shall have the right to postpone a Time of Delivery, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement and in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of either of the Company or the Selling Shareholders to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason either of the Company or the Selling Shareholders shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.

The Company and the Selling Shareholders each represents and warrants that its respective Process Agent has agreed to act as said agent for service of process, and agrees that service of process in such manner upon such Process Agent shall be deemed to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in every respect effective service of process upon the Company or the relevant Selling Shareholder, as the case may be, in any such suit, action or proceeding.

13. Currency. In respect of any judgment or order given or made for any amount due hereunder that is expressed and paid in a currency (the “ judgment currency ”) other than United States dollars, the Company and the Selling Shareholders, as the case may be, will indemnify each Underwriter against any loss incurred by such Underwriter as a result of any variation as between (i) the rate of exchange at which the United States dollar amount is converted into the judgment currency for the purpose of such judgment or order and (ii) the rate of exchange at which an Underwriter is able to purchase United States dollars with the amount of the judgment currency actually received by such Underwriter. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of the Company and the Selling Shareholder and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid.
