The Company has informed the Depositary that a Proposal shall only be voted upon at the annual ordinary meeting of the Company's shareholders if the Proposal is accepted by the board of directors of the Company as eligible in accordance with Article 172-1 of the ROC Company Law and the Company's Articles of Incorporation for consideration at an annual ordinary meeting of the Company's shareholders.

[interests in the Certificate of Payment (the "Certificate of Payment)] (such
[Shares][Certificate of Payment] are hereafter called "Eligible Securities") of

A-1

Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of The Republic of China (the "Company"). As of the date of the Deposit Agreement (as hereinafter defined), each ADS represents [five (5)][an interest in a global Certificate of Payment, each interest representing the irrevocable right to receive five (5) Shares] deposited under the Deposit Agreement with the Custodian, which at the date of execution of the Deposit Agreement is Citibank, N.A., Taipei Branch (the "Custodian"). The ratio of American Depositary Shares to Eligible Securities is subject to amendment as provided in Article IV of the Deposit Agreement. The Depositary's Principal Office is located at 388 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10013, U.S.A.

(1) The Deposit Agreement. This American Depositary Receipt is one of an issue of American Depositary Receipts ("Receipts"), all issued and to be issued upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Amended and Restated Deposit Agreement, dated as of September 29, 2000, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Amended and Restated Deposit Agreement, dated as of _________, 2006 (as so amended and further amended from time to time, the "Deposit Agreement"), by and among the Company, the Depositary, and all Holders and Beneficial Owners from time to time of American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") evidenced by Receipts issued thereunder, each of whom by accepting an ADS (or an interest therein) agrees to become a party thereto and becomes bound by all the terms and provisions thereof. The Deposit Agreement sets forth the rights and obligations of Holders and Beneficial Owners of Receipts and the rights and duties of the Depositary in respect of the Eligible Securities deposited thereunder and any and all other securities, property and cash from time to time received in respect of such Eligible Securities and held thereunder (such Eligible Securities, securities, property and cash are herein called "Deposited Securities"). Copies of the Deposit Agreement are on file at the Principal Office of the Depositary and with the Custodian.

The statements made on the face and reverse of this Receipt are summaries of certain provisions of the Deposit Agreement and the Articles of Incorporation of the Company (as in effect on the date of the signing of the Deposit Agreement) and are qualified by and subject to the detailed provisions of the Deposit Agreement and the Articles of Incorporation, to which reference is hereby made. All capitalized terms used herein which are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Deposit Agreement. The Depositary makes no representation or warranty as to the validity or worth of the Deposited Securities. The Depositary has made arrangements for the acceptance of the ADSs into DTC. Each Beneficial Owner of ADSs held through DTC must rely on the procedures of DTC and the DTC Participants to exercise and be entitled to any rights attributable to such ADSs.

(2) Surrender of Receipts and Withdrawal of Deposited Securities.

(a) ROC Requirements. The Depositary and the Company have been advised that under ROC law, as in effect as of the date hereof, a Holder wishing to withdraw Deposited Securities from the ADR facility is required to appoint an eligible agent in the Republic of China to open a securities trading account with a local brokerage firm after receiving an approval from the TSE and a bank account (the securities trading account and the bank account, collectively, the "Accounts"), to pay ROC taxes, remit funds, exercise stockholders' rights and perform such other functions as may be designated by such withdrawing Holder. In addition, such withdrawing Holder is also required to appoint a custodian bank to hold the securities in safekeeping, make confirmations and settle trades and report all relevant information. Without making such appointment and the opening

A-2

of such Accounts, the withdrawing Holder would be unable to hold or subsequently sell the Deposited Securities withdrawn from the ADR Facilities on the TSE or otherwise. The laws of the Republic of China applicable to the withdrawal of Deposited Securities may change from time to time. There can be no assurance that current law will remain in effect or that future changes of Republic of China law will not adversely affect the ability of Holders to withdraw Deposited Securities hereunder.

(b) Sale of Deposited Securities. Upon surrender of Receipts at the Principal Office and upon payment of any fees, reasonable expenses, taxes or other governmental charges as provided hereunder, subject to the terms of this Deposit Agreement and the Company's Articles of Incorporation, and the transfer restrictions applicable to the Deposited Securities, if any, Holders may request that the Deposited Securities represented by such Holders' Receipts be sold on such Holder's behalf. Any Holder requesting a sale of Deposited Securities may be required by the Depositary to deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Depositary a written order requesting the Depositary to sell, or cause to be sold, such Deposited Securities. Any such sale of Deposited Securities will be conducted in accordance with applicable ROC law through a securities company in the ROC on the TSE or in such other manner as is or may be permitted under applicable ROC law. Any such sale of Deposited Securities will be at the expense and risk of the Holder requesting such sale. Any Holder requesting the Depositary to sell the Deposited Securities represented by such Holder's ADSs may be required to enter into a separate agreement to cover the terms of the sale of such Deposited Securities.

Upon receipt of any proceeds from any such sale, the Depositary shall, subject to any restrictions imposed by ROC law and regulations, and as provided hereunder and under the Deposit Agreement, convert or cause to be converted any such proceeds into U.S. dollars and distribute any such proceeds to the Holders entitled thereto after deduction or payment of any fees, reasonable expenses, taxes or governmental charges (including, without limitation, any ROC and U.S. taxes) incurred in connection with such sale, as provided under the Deposit Agreement. Any such sale may be subject to ROC taxation on capital gains, if any, and will be subject to a securities transaction tax in the ROC. The ROC does not, as of the date hereof, impose tax on capital gains arising from ROC securities transactions, but there can be no assurance that a capital gains tax on ROC securities transactions will not be imposed in the future or as to the manner in which any ROC capital gains tax in respect of a sale of Deposited Securities would be imposed or calculated.

(c) Withdrawal of Deposited Securities. The Holder of ADSs shall be entitled to Delivery (at the Custodian's designated office) of the Deposited Securities at the time represented by the ADS(s) upon satisfaction of each of the following conditions: (i) the Holder (or a duly authorized attorney of the Holder) has duly Delivered ADSs to the Depositary at its Principal Office (and if applicable, the Receipts evidencing such ADSs) for the purpose of withdrawal of the Deposited Securities represented thereby, (ii) if so required by the Depositary, the Receipts Delivered to the Depositary for such purpose have been properly endorsed in blank or are accompanied by proper instruments of transfer in blank (including signature guarantees in accordance with standard securities industry practice), (iii) if so required by the Depositary, the Holder of the ADSs has executed and delivered 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 the person(s) designated in such order, (iv) the

The issuance of ADSs against deposits of Eligible Securities generally or against deposits of particular Eligible Securities may be suspended, or the deposit of particular Eligible Securities may be refused, or the registration of 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 Company, the Depositary, a Registrar or the Eligible Securities Registrar are closed or if any such action is deemed necessary or advisable by the Depositary or the Company, in good faith, at any time or from time to time because of any requirement of law, any government or governmental body or commission or any securities exchange upon which the Eligible Securities or ADSs are listed, or under any provision of the Deposit Agreement or this Receipt, or under any provision of, or governing, the Deposited Securities, or because of a meeting of shareholders of the Company or for any other reason, subject in all cases to Article (24) hereof. Notwithstanding any provision of the Deposit Agreement or this Receipt to the contrary, Holders are entitled to surrender outstanding ADSs to withdraw the Deposited Securities at any time subject only to (i) Temporary delays caused by closing the transfer books of the Depositary or the Company or the deposit of Eligible Securities in connection with voting at a shareholders' meeting or the payment of dividends, (ii) the payment of fees, taxes and similar charges, (iii) compliance with any U.S. or foreign laws or governmental regulations relating to the Receipts or to the withdrawal of the Deposited Securities, and (iv) other circumstances specifically contemplated by Section I.A.(l) of the General Instructions to Form F-6 (as such General Instructions may be amended from time to time).

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Deposit Agreement or this Receipt, each Holder and Beneficial Owner of the ADSs represented hereby agrees to comply with requests from the Company pursuant to applicable U.S. and Republic of China laws or regulations, the rules and requirements of the TSE, and of any stock exchange on which Eligible Securities or ADSs are, or will be, registered, traded or listed, or the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, which are made to provide information, inter alia, as to the capacity in which such Holder or Beneficial Owner owns ADSs (and Eligible Securities or Deposited Securities, as the case may be) and regarding the identity of any other person(s) interested in such ADSs and the nature of such interest and various other matters, whether or not they are Holders and/or Beneficial Owners at the time of such request.

(6) Ownership Restrictions. Notwithstanding any provision of this Receipt or of the Deposit Agreement, the Company may restrict transfers of the Shares, Eligible Securities or securities convertible into Shares where the Company informs the Depositary that such transfer might result in ownership of Shares exceeding limits imposed by applicable law, the SFC, the TSE or Articles of Incorporation of the Company. The Company may also restrict, in such manner as it deems appropriate, transfers of ADSs where such transfer may result in the total number of Shares, Deposited Securities or securities convertible into Shares represented by the ADSs owned by a single Holder or Beneficial Owner to exceed any such limits. The Company may, in its sole discretion but subject to applicable law, instruct the Depositary to take action with respect to the ownership interest of any Holder or Beneficial Owner in excess of the limits set forth in the preceding sentence, including but not limited to, the imposition of restrictions on the transfer of ADSs, the removal or limitation of voting rights

A-6

or the mandatory sale or disposition on behalf of a Holder or Beneficial Owner of the Deposited Securities represented by the ADSs held by such Holder or Beneficial Owner in excess of such limitations, if and to the extent such disposition is permitted by applicable law and the Articles of Incorporation of the Company.

(7) Liability of Holder for Taxes and Other Charges.

The Custodian may refuse the deposit of Eligible Securities and the Depositary may refuse to issue ADSs, to deliver ADRs, register the transfer, split-up or combination of ADRs and (subject to Article (24) hereof) the withdrawal of Deposited Securities until payment in full of such tax, charge, penalty or interest is received. Every Holder and Beneficial Owner agrees to indemnify the Depositary, the Company, the Custodian, and any of their agents, employees and Affiliates for, and hold each of then harmless from, any claims with respect to taxes (including applicable interest and penalties thereon) arising from any tax benefit obtained for such Holder and/or Beneficial Owner.

Such representations and warranties shall survive the deposit and withdrawal of Eligible Securities, the issuance and cancellation of ADSs in respect thereof and the transfer of such ADSs.

The Depositary and the Registrar, as applicable, may, and at the reasonable written request of the Company shall, withhold the execution or delivery or registration of transfer of any Receipt or the distribution or sale of any dividend or other distribution of rights or of the proceeds thereof or, to the extent not limited by Article (24) hereof, the delivery of any Deposited Securities, or may refuse to adjust its records, until such proof or other information is filed or such certificates are executed, or such representations are made or such information and documentation are provided, in each case to the Depositary's, the Registrar's and the Company's satisfaction.

Notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, the Depositary and the Company may deem and treat the Holder of this Receipt (that is, the person in whose name this Receipt is registered on the books of the Depositary) as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes. Neither the Depositary nor the Company shall have any obligation nor be subject to any liability under the Deposit Agreement or this Receipt to any holder of this Receipt or any Beneficial Owner unless such holder is the Holder of this Receipt registered on the books of the Depositary or, in the case of a Beneficial Owner, such Beneficial Owner or the Beneficial Owner's representative is the Holder registered on the books of the Depositary.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF RECEIPT]

SUMMARY OF CERTAIN ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

OF THE DEPOSIT AGREEMENT

(14) Dividends and Distributions in Cash, Eligible Securities, etc. Subject always to the laws and regulations of the Republic of China, whenever the Depositary receives confirmation from the Custodian of receipt of any cash dividend or other cash distribution on any Deposited Securities, or receives proceeds from the sale of any Deposited Securities, rights securities or any entitlements held in respect of Deposited Securities under the Deposit Agreement, the Depositary will (i) if at the time of receipt thereof any amounts received in a Foreign Currency can, in the judgment of the Depositary (upon the terms of the Deposit Agreement), be converted on a practicable basis into Dollars transferable to the United States, promptly convert or cause to be converted such cash dividend, distribution or proceeds into Dollars (upon the terms of the Deposit Agreement), (ii) if applicable, establish the ADS Record Date upon the terms described in Article (16) hereof and in Section 4.9 of the Deposit Agreement, and (iii) will distribute promptly the amount thus received (net of (a) applicable fees and charges of, and reasonable expenses incurred by, the Depositary and (b) taxes withheld) to the Holders entitled thereto as of the ADS Record Date (if applicable) in proportion to the number of ADS representing such Deposited Securities held as of the ADS Record Date (if applicable). The Depositary shall distribute only such amount, however, as can be distributed without attributing to any Holder a fraction of one cent, and any balance not so distributed shall be held by the Depositary (without liability for interest thereon) and shall be added to and become part of the next sum received by the Depositary for distribution to Holders of ADSs then outstanding at the time of the next distribution. If the Company, the Custodian or the Depositary is required to withhold and does withhold from any cash dividend or other cash distribution in respect of any Deposited Securities an amount on account of taxes, duties or other governmental charges, the amount distributed to Holders on the ADSs representing such Deposited Securities shall be reduced accordingly. Such withheld amounts shall be forwarded by the Company to the relevant governmental authority.

If any distribution upon any Deposited Securities consists of a dividend in, or free distribution of, Eligible Securities, the Company shall or cause such Eligible Securities to be deposited with the Custodian and registered, as the case may be, in the name of the Depositary, the Custodian or their respective nominees. Upon receipt of confirmation of such deposit from the Custodian, the Depositary shall, subject to and in accordance with the Deposit Agreement and the laws and regulations of the Republic of China, establish the ADS Record Date and either (i) the Depositary shall distribute to the Holders as of the ADS Record Date in proportion to the number of ADSs held as of the ADS Record Date, additional ADSs (or the applicable series), which represent in aggregate the number of Eligible Securities received as such dividend, or free distribution, subject, however, in each case, to the terms of the Deposit

A-11

Agreement (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth on the face of this Receipt and in Article II of the Deposit Agreement and (a) the applicable fees and charges of, and reasonable expenses incurred by, the Depositary and (b) taxes), or (ii) if additional ADSs are not so distributed, each ADS issued and outstanding after the ADS Record Date shall, to the extent permissible by law, thenceforth also represent rights and interest in the additional integral number of Eligible Securities distributed upon the Deposited Securities represented thereby (subject, however, in each case, to the laws and regulations of the Republic of China and net (a) of the applicable fees and charges of, and the reasonable expenses incurred by, the Depositary, and (b) taxes). In lieu of delivering fractional ADSs, the Depositary shall sell the number of Eligible Securities or ADSs, as the case may be, represented by the aggregate of such fractions and distribute the net proceeds upon the terms set forth in the Deposit Agreement.

In the event that (x) the Depositary determines that any distribution in property (including Eligible Securities) is subject to any tax or other governmental charges which the Depositary is obligated to withhold, or
(y) if the Company in the fulfillment of its obligations under the Deposit Agreement, has furnished an opinion of U.S. counsel determining that Eligible Securities must be registered under the Securities Act or other laws in order to be distributed to Holders (and no such registration statement has been declared effective) or (z) the deposit of Eligible Securities is not permitted under the laws or regulations of the Republic of China, the Depositary may dispose of all or a portion of such property (including Eligible Securities and rights to subscribe therefor) in such amounts and in such manner, including by public or private sale, as the Depositary deems necessary and practicable and the Depositary shall distribute the net proceeds of any such sale (after deduction of (a) taxes and fees and (b) charges of, and reasonable expenses incurred by, the Depositary) to Holders entitled thereto upon the terms of the Deposit Agreement. The Depositary shall hold and/or distribute any unsold balance of such property in accordance with the provisions of the Deposit Agreement.

Upon timely receipt of a notice indicating that the Company wishes an elective distribution to be made available to Holders upon the terms described in the Deposit Agreement, the Company and the Depositary shall determine whether such distribution is lawful and reasonably practicable. If so, the Depositary shall, subject to the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement, establish an ADS record date according to Article (16) hereof and establish procedures to enable the Holder hereof to elect to receive the proposed distribution in cash or in additional ADSs. If a Holder elects to receive the distribution in cash, the dividend shall be distributed as in the case of a distribution in cash. If the Holder hereof elects to receive the distribution in additional ADSs, the distribution shall be distributed as in the case of a distribution in Eligible Securities. If such elective distribution is not lawful or not reasonably practicable, the Depositary shall, to the extent permitted by law, distribute to Holders, on the basis of the same determination as is made in the Republic of China in respect of the Deposited Securities for which no election is made, either (x) cash or (y) additional ADSs representing such additional Eligible Securities, in each case, upon the terms described in the Deposit Agreement. Nothing herein or in the Deposit Agreement shall obligate the Depositary to make available to the Holder hereof a method to receive the elective distribution in Eligible Securities (rather than ADSs). There can be no assurance that the Holder hereof will be given the opportunity to receive elective distributions on the same terms and conditions as the holders of Deposited Securities.

Upon timely receipt by the Depositary of a notice indicating that the Company wishes rights to subscribe for additional Eligible Securities to be made available to Holders of ADSs, the Depositary upon consultation with the Company, shall determine, whether it is lawful and reasonably practicable to make such rights available to the Holders. The Depositary shall make such rights available to any Holders only if (i) the Company shall have timely requested that such rights be made available to Holders, (ii) the Depositary shall have received the documentation contemplated in the Deposit Agreement, and (iii) the Depositary shall have determined that such distribution of rights is reasonably practicable. If such conditions are not satisfied, the Depositary shall sell the

A-12

rights as described below. In the event all conditions set forth above are satisfied, the Depositary shall establish an ADS Record Date (upon the terms described in the Deposit Agreement) and establish procedures (x) to distribute rights to purchase additional ADSs (by means of warrants or otherwise), (y) to enable the Holders to exercise the rights (upon payment of the subscription price and of the applicable (a) fees and charges of, and reasonable expenses incurred by, the Depositary and (b) taxes), and (z) to deliver ADSs upon the valid exercise of such rights. Nothing herein or in the Deposit Agreement shall obligate the Depositary to make available to the Holders a method to exercise rights to subscribe for Eligible Securities (rather than ADSs). If (i) the Company does not timely request the Depositary to make the rights available to Holders or if the Company requests that the rights not be made available to Holders, (ii) the Depositary fails to receive the documentation required by the Deposit Agreement or determines it is not reasonably practicable to make the rights available to Holders, or (iii) any rights made available are not exercised and appear to be about to lapse, the Depositary shall determine whether it is lawful and reasonably practicable to sell such rights, in a riskless principal capacity, at such place and upon such terms (including public and private sale) as it may deem proper. The Depositary shall, upon such sale, convert and distribute proceeds of such sale (net of applicable fees and charges of, and reasonable expenses incurred by, the Depositary and taxes) upon the terms hereof and of the Deposit Agreement. If the Depositary is unable to make any rights available to Holders or to arrange for the sale of the rights upon the terms described above, the Depositary shall allow such rights to lapse. The Depositary shall not be responsible for (i) any failure to determine that it may be lawful or feasible to make such rights available to Holders in general or any Holders in particular, (ii) any foreign exchange exposure or loss incurred in connection with such sale or exercise, or (iii) the content of any materials forwarded to the ADR Holders on behalf of the Company in connection with the rights distribution.

Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Deposit Agreement to the contrary, if registration (under the Securities Act or any other applicable law) of the rights or the securities to which any rights relate may be required in order for the Company to offer such rights or such securities to Holders and to sell the securities represented by such rights, the Depositary will not distribute such rights to the Holders (i) unless and until a registration statement under the Securities Act (or other applicable law) covering such offering is in effect or (ii) unless the Company furnishes the Depositary with opinions of counsel for the Company in the United States and counsel to the Company in any other applicable country in which rights would be distributed, in each case satisfactory to the Depositary, to the effect that the offering and sale of such securities to Holders and Beneficial Owners are exempt from, or do not require registration under, the provisions of the Securities Act or any other applicable laws. In the event that the Company, the Depositary or the Custodian shall be required to withhold and does withhold from any distribution of property (including rights) an amount on account of taxes or other governmental charges, the amount distributed to the Holders of ADSs representing such Deposited Securities shall be reduced accordingly. In the event that the Depositary determines that any distribution in property (including Eligible Securities and rights to subscribe therefor) is subject to any tax or other governmental charges which the Depositary is obligated to withhold, the Depositary may dispose of all or a portion of such property (including Eligible Securities and rights to subscribe therefor) in such amounts and in such manner, including by public or private sale, as the Depositary deems necessary and practicable to pay any such taxes or charges.

A-13

There can be no assurance that Holders generally, or any Holder in particular, will be given the opportunity to exercise rights on the same terms and conditions as the holders of Eligible Securities or to exercise such rights. Nothing herein or in the Deposit Agreement shall obligate the Company to file any registration statement in respect of any rights or Eligible Securities or other securities to be acquired upon the exercise of such rights.

Upon receipt of a notice indicating that the Company wishes property other than cash, Eligible Securities or rights to purchase additional Eligible Securities, to be made to Holders of ADSs, the Depositary shall determine whether such distribution to Holders is lawful and reasonably practicable. The Depositary shall not make such distribution unless (i) the Company shall have requested the Depositary to make such distribution to Holders, (ii) the Depositary shall have received the documentation contemplated in the Deposit Agreement, and (iii) the Depositary shall have determined that such distribution is lawful and reasonably practicable. Upon satisfaction of such conditions, the Depositary shall distribute the property so received to the Holders of record, as of the ADS Record Date, in proportion to the number of ADSs held by them respectively and in such manner as the Depositary may deem practicable for accomplishing such distribution (i) upon receipt of payment or net of the applicable fees and charges of, and reasonable expenses incurred by, the Depositary, and (ii) net of any taxes withheld. The Depositary may dispose of all or a portion of the property so distributed and deposited, in such amounts and in such manner (including public or private sale) as the Depositary may deem practicable or necessary to satisfy any taxes (including applicable interest and penalties) or other governmental charges applicable to the distribution.

If the conditions above are not satisfied, the Depositary shall sell or cause such property to be sold in a public or private sale, at such place or places and upon such terms as it may deem proper and shall (i) cause the proceeds of such sale, if any, to be converted into Dollars and (ii) distribute the proceeds of such conversion received by the Depositary (net of (a) applicable fees and charges of, and reasonable expenses incurred by, the Depositary and (b) taxes) to the Holders upon the terms hereof and of the Deposit Agreement. If the Depositary is unable to sell such property, the Depositary may dispose of such property in any way it deems reasonably practicable under the circumstances.

(15) Redemption. Subject always to the laws and regulations of the Republic of China, upon timely receipt of notice from the Company that it intends to exercise its right of redemption in respect of any of the Deposited Securities, and a satisfactory opinion of counsel, and upon determining that such proposed redemption is practicable, the Depositary shall (to the extent practicable) deliver to each Holder a notice setting forth the Company's intention to exercise the redemption rights and any other particulars set forth in the Company's notice to the Depositary. Upon receipt of confirmation that the redemption has taken place and that funds representing the redemption price have been received, the Depositary shall convert, transfer, distribute the proceeds (net of applicable (a) fees and charges of, and reasonable expenses incurred by, the Depositary, and (b) taxes), retire ADSs and cancel ADRs upon delivery of

A-14

such ADSs by Holders thereof upon the terms of the Deposit Agreement. If less than all outstanding Deposited Securities are redeemed, the ADSs to be retired will be selected by lot or on a pro rata basis, as may be determined by the Depositary. The redemption price per ADS shall be the dollar equivalent of per-Deposited Security amount received by the Depositary upon the redemption of the Deposited Securities represented by American Depositary Shares (subject to the terms of the Deposit Agreement and the applicable fees and charges of, and reasonable expenses incurred by, the Depositary, and taxes) multiplied by the number of Units or Deposited Securities represented by each ADS redeemed.

(16) Fixing of ADS Record Date. Whenever the Depositary shall receive notice of the fixing of a record date by the Company for the determination of holders of Deposited Securities entitled to receive any distribution (whether in cash, Eligible Securities, rights or other distribution), or whenever for any reason the Depositary causes a change in the number of Deposited Securities that are represented by each ADS, or whenever the Depositary shall receive notice of any meeting of, or solicitation of consents or proxies of, holders of Deposited Securities, or whenever the Depositary shall find it necessary or convenient in connection with the giving of any notice, or any other matter, the Depositary shall fix a record date ("ADS Record Date") for the determination of the Holders of Receipts who shall be entitled to receive such distribution, to give instructions for the exercise of voting rights at any such meeting, or to give or withhold such consent, or to receive such notice or solicitation or to otherwise take action, or to exercise the rights of Holders with respect to such changed number of Deposited Securities represented by each ADS. Subject to applicable law and the terms and conditions of this Receipt and the Deposit Agreement, only the Holders of Receipts at the close of business in New York on such ADS Record Date shall be entitled to receive such distributions, to give such instructions, to receive such notice or solicitation, or otherwise take action.

(17) Voting of Deposited Securities. (a) Voting by Shareholders. The following is a summary of certain rights of holders of Shares to vote at shareholders' meetings under ROC Company Law and the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, in each case, as in effect on the date hereof: (i) a holder of Shares (including holders of interests in any Certificate of Payment evidencing the irrevocable right to receive Shares) is entitled to one vote for each Share held, except that the number of votes of a holder of more than 3% of the total outstanding Shares is discounted by the Company by a factor of 0.1% of that portion of the Shares held in excess of 3% (e.g., a holder of 10% of the total outstanding Shares would be permitted to exercise voting rights only with respect of a 9.93% of such Shares), (ii) the election of directors and supervisors takes place by means of cumulative voting, and (iii) a shareholder must, as to all matters subject to a vote of shareholders (other than the election of directors and supervisors), exercise the voting rights for all Shares held by such shareholder in the same manner (e.g., a holder of 1,000 Shares cannot split his/her votes but must vote all 1,000 Shares in the same manner except in the event of cumulative voting for an election of directors and supervisors). The voting rights attaching to the Deposited Securities must be exercised by, or on behalf of, the Depositary, as representative of the Holders, collectively in the same manner, including the election of directors and supervisors. Deposited Securities which have been withdrawn from the ADR Facilities and timely transferred on the Company's register of shareholders to a

A-15

person other than the Depositary may be voted by the registered holder(s) thereof directly, subject, in each case, to the limitations of ROC law and the Articles of Incorporation of the Company. Holders may not receive sufficient advance notice of shareholders' meetings to enable them to timely withdraw the Deposited Securities and vote at such meetings and may not be able to re-deposit the withdrawn securities under the terms of the Deposit Agreement.

(b) Voting by ADS Holders. Holders of ADSs have no individual voting rights with respect to the Deposited Securities represented by their ADSs. Each Holder shall be deemed, by acceptance of ADSs or acquisition of any beneficial interest therein, to have authorized and directed the Depositary, without liability, to appoint the Chairman of the Company (or his/her designate), as representative of the Depositary, the Custodian or the nominee who is registered in the ROC as representative of the Holders in respect of the Deposited Securities (the "Registered Holder"), to vote the Deposited Securities in accordance with the terms hereof.

The Company agrees to timely notify the Depositary of any proposed shareholders' meeting and to timely provide to the Depositary in New York sufficient copies as the Depositary may reasonably request of English language translations of the Company's notice of shareholders' meeting and the agenda of the materials to be voted on (in the form the Company generally makes available to holders of Eligible Securities in the ROC), including, without limitation, a list of candidates proposed by the Company for an election of directors or supervisors (such materials collectively, the "Shareholder Notice"). As soon as practicable after receipt by the Depositary of the requisite number of Shareholder Notices, the Depositary shall establish the ADS Record Date (upon the terms of Article (16) hereof and Section 4.9 of the Deposit Agreement) and shall, at the Company's expense and provided no U.S. legal prohibitions exist, deliver to Holders as of the applicable ADS Record Date, (i) the Shareholder Notice, (ii) a depositary notice setting forth the manner in which Holders of ADSs may instruct the Depositary to cause the Deposited Securities represented by their ADSs to be voted under the terms of this Deposit Agreement including, a description of the Management Proxy (as defined below), together with a form of voting instructions and/or other means to provide voting instructions (the depositary notice and the related materials prepared by the Depositary collectively, the "Depositary Notice"). The Depositary is under no obligation to mail the Shareholder Notice and the Depositary Notice to Holders if the Company has failed to provide to the Depositary in New York the requisite number of Shareholder Notices at least 24 calendar days prior to the date of any shareholders' meeting. If the Depositary has not delivered the Shareholder Notice or Depositary Notice to Holders, it will endeavor to cause all Deposited Securities represented by ADRs to be present at the relevant Shareholders' meeting insofar as practicable and permitted under applicable law but will not cause the Deposited Securities to be voted; provided, however, that the Depositary may determine, at its sole discretion, to send such Shareholder Notice and Depositary Notice to Holders and/or cause the Deposited Securities to be voted as it deems appropriate. There can be no assurance that Holders generally or any Holder in particular will receive Shareholder Notices and Depositary Notices with sufficient time to enable the return of voting instructions to the Depositary in a timely manner.

Notwithstanding anything else contained in the Deposit Agreement, the Depositary shall not have any obligation to take any action with respect to any meeting, or solicitation of consents or proxies, of holders of Deposited Securities if the taking of such action would violate U.S. laws.

A-16

(c) Voting of Deposited Securities Upon ADS Holders' Instructions. If Holders of ADSs together holding at least 51% of all the ADSs (including Temporary ADSs) outstanding as of the relevant ADS Record Date shall instruct the Depositary, prior to the date established for such purpose by the Depositary, to vote in the same manner in respect of one or more resolutions to be proposed at a shareholders' meeting (including resolutions for the election of directors and/or supervisors), the Depositary shall notify to the Chairman of the Company (or his/her designate) and appoint the Chairman of the Company (or his/her designate) as the representative of the Depositary and the Registered Holders to attend such shareholders' meeting and vote all Deposited Securities evidenced by ADSs then outstanding (including Temporary ADSs) in the manner so instructed by such Holders. If voting instructions are received by the Depositary on or before the date established by the Depositary for the receipt of such instructions from any Holder as of the ADS Record Date, which are signed but without further indication as to voting instructions, the Depositary shall deem such Holder to have instructed a vote in favor of the items set forth in such instructions. The Depositary and Custodian shall not have any obligation to monitor, and shall not incur any liability for, the actions, or the failure to act, of the Chairman of the Company (or his/her designate) as representative of the Registered Holder.

(d) Management Proxy. If, for any reason (other than a failure by the Company to supply the requisite number of Shareholder Notices to the Depositary within the requisite time period provided in the Deposit Agreement, the Depositary has not, prior to the date established for such purpose by the Depositary received instructions from Holders together holding at least 51% of all ADSs (including Temporary ADSs) outstanding at the relevant ADS Record Date, to vote in the same manner in respect of any resolution (including resolutions for the election of directors and/or supervisors), then, subject to the following paragraph, the Holders shall be deemed to have authorized and directed the Depositary to give a discretionary proxy (a "Management Proxy") to the Chairman of the Company (or his/her designate) as the representative of the Registered Holder to attend and vote at such meeting all the Deposited Securities represented by ADSs then outstanding (including Temporary ADSs) in his or her discretion. In such circumstances, the Chairman of the Company (or his or her designate) shall be free to exercise the votes attaching to the Deposited Securities in any manner he or she wishes, which may not be in the interests of the Holders.

The Depositary's grant of a Management Proxy in the manner and circumstances described in the preceding paragraph shall be subject to the receipt by the Depositary prior to each shareholders' meeting of an opinion of ROC counsel addressed to, and in form and substance satisfactory to, the Depositary. In the event the Depositary does not receive such opinion, the Depositary will not grant the Management Proxy but will cause the Deposited Securities to be present at the shareholders' meeting to the extent practicable and permitted by applicable law but will not cause the Deposited Securities to be voted or the Management Proxy to be granted.

The Depositary shall not, and the Depositary shall ensure that the Custodian and its nominees do not, vote or attempt to exercise the right to vote that attaches to the Shares or other Deposited Securities, other than in accordance with instructions given in accordance with Section 4.10 of the Deposit Agreement. The terms Section 4.10 of the Deposit Agreement may be amended from time to time in accordance with the terms of this Deposit Agreement. By continuing to hold ADSs after the effective time of such amendment all Holders and Beneficial Owners shall be deemed to have agreed to the terms of the Deposit Agreement as so amended.

A-17

(18) Changes Affecting Deposited Securities. Upon any change in nominal or par value, split-up, cancellation, 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 the Custodian in exchange for, or in conversion of or replacement of or otherwise in respect of, such Deposited Securities shall, to the extent permitted by law, be treated as new Deposited Securities under the Deposit Agreement, and the Receipts shall, subject to the provisions of the Deposit Agreement and applicable law, evidence ADSs representing the right to receive such additional securities. The Depositary may, with the Company's approval, and shall, if the Company shall so request, subject to the terms of the Deposit Agreement and receipt of satisfactory documentation contemplated by the Deposit Agreement, execute and deliver additional Receipts as in the case of a dividend in Eligible Securities, or call for the surrender of outstanding Receipts to be exchanged for new Receipts, in either case, as well as in the event of newly deposited Eligible Securities, with necessary modifications to the form of Receipt contained herein, specifically describing such new Deposited Securities or corporate change. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any security so received may not be lawfully distributed to some or all Holders, the Depositary may, with the Company's approval, and shall if the Company requests, subject to receipt of satisfactory legal documentation contemplated in the Deposit Agreement, sell such securities at public or private sale, at such place or places and upon such terms as it may deem proper and may allocate the net proceeds of such sales (net of (a) fees and charges of, and reasonable expenses incurred by, the Depositary and (b) taxes) for the account of the Holders otherwise entitled to such securities and distribute the net proceeds so allocated to the extent practicable as in the case of a distribution received in cash pursuant to the Deposit Agreement. The Depositary shall not be responsible for (i) any failure to determine that it may be lawful or feasible to make such securities available to Holders in general or any Holder in particular, (ii) any foreign exchange exposure or loss incurred in connection with such sale, or
(iii) any liability to the purchaser of such securities.

(19) Exoneration. Neither the Depositary nor the Company shall be obligated to do or perform any act which is inconsistent with the provisions of the Deposit Agreement or incur any liability (i) if the Depositary or the Company shall be prevented or forbidden from, or subjected to any civil or criminal penalty or restraint on account of, or delayed in, doing or performing any act or thing required by the terms of the Deposit Agreement and this Receipt, by reason of any provision of any present or future law or regulation of the United States, the Republic of China or any other country, or of any other governmental authority or regulatory authority or stock exchange, or by reason of any provision, present or future of the Articles of Incorporation of the Company or any provision of or governing any Deposited Securities, or by reason of any act of God or war or other circumstances beyond its control (including, without limitation, nationalization, expropriation, currency restrictions, work stoppage, strikes, civil unrest, revolutions, rebellions, explosions and computer failure), (ii) by reason of any exercise of, or failure to exercise, any discretion provided for in this Deposit Agreement or in the Articles of Incorporation of the Company or provisions of or governing Deposited Securities, (iii) for any action or inaction in reliance upon the advice of or information from legal counsel, accountants, any person presenting Eligible Securities for deposit, any Holder, any Beneficial Owner or authorized representative thereof, or any other person believed by it in good faith to be competent to give such advice or information, (iv) for any inability by a Holder or Beneficial Owner to benefit from any distribution, offering, right or other

A-18

benefit which is made available to holders of Deposited Securities but is not, under the terms of this Deposit Agreement, made available to Holders of ADS or
(v) for any consequential or punitive damages for any breach of the terms of this Deposit Agreement. The Depositary, its controlling persons, its agents, any Custodian and the Company, its controlling persons and its agents may rely and shall be protected in acting upon any written notice, request or other document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. No disclaimer of liability under the Securities Act is intended by any provision of the Deposit Agreement or this Receipt.

(20) Standard of Care. The Company and its agents assume no obligation and shall not be subject to any liability under this Deposit Agreement or the Receipts to Holders or Beneficial Owners or other persons, except that the Company and its agents agree to perform their obligations specifically set forth in this Deposit Agreement without negligence or bad faith. The Depositary and its agents assume no obligation and shall not be subject to any liability under this Deposit Agreement or the Receipts to Holders or Beneficial Owners or other persons, except that the Depositary and its agents agree to perform their obligations specifically set forth in this Deposit Agreement without negligence or bad faith. The Depositary and the Company undertake to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in the Deposit Agreement, and no implied covenants and obligations should be read into the Deposit Agreement or this Receipt against the Depositary or the Company or their respective agents. The Depositary and its agents shall not be liable for any failure to carry out any instructions to vote any of the Deposited Securities, or for the manner in which any vote is cast or the effect of any vote, provided that any such action or omission is in good faith and in accordance with the terms of this Deposit Agreement. The Depositary shall not incur any liability for any failure to determine that any distribution or action may be lawful or reasonably practicable, for the content of any information submitted to it by the Company for distribution to the Holders or for any inaccuracy of any translation thereof, for any investment risk associated with acquiring an interest in the Deposited Securities, for the validity or worth of the Deposited Securities or for any tax consequences that may result from the ownership of ADSs, Shares or Deposited Securities, for the credit-worthiness of any third party, for allowing any rights to lapse upon the terms of this Deposit Agreement, for the failure or timeliness of any notice from the Company or for the failure of the Company to exchange any Certificate of Payment into Shares. The Depositary shall not be obligated in any way to monitor or enforce the obligations of the Company, including, without limitation, in respect of any Certificate of Payment, the conversion of such Certificate of Payment into Shares.

(21) Resignation and Removal of the Depositary; Appointment of Successor Depositary. The Depositary may at any time resign as Depositary under the Deposit Agreement by written notice of resignation delivered to the Company, such resignation to be effective on the earlier of (i) the 60th day after delivery thereof to the Company, or (ii) 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 written notice of such removal which notice shall be effective on the earlier of (i) the 60th day after delivery thereof to the Depositary, or (ii) upon the appointment of a successor depositary and its acceptance of such appointment as provided in the Deposit Agreement. In case at any time the Depositary acting hereunder shall resign or be removed, the Company shall use its best efforts to appoint a successor depositary, which shall be a bank or trust company having an office in

A-19

the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. Every successor depositary shall execute and deliver to its immediate predecessor and to the Company an instrument in writing accepting its appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor depositary, without any further act or deed (except as required by applicable law), shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its immediate predecessor. The immediate predecessor depositary, upon payment of all sums due it and on the written request of the Company, shall (i) execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor all rights and powers of such predecessor hereunder (other than as contemplated in the Deposit Agreement), (ii) duly assign, transfer and deliver all right, title and interest to the Deposited Securities to such successor, and

(22) Amendment/Supplement. This Receipt and any provisions of the Deposit Agreement may at any time and from time to time be amended or supplemented by written agreement between the Company and the Depositary in any respect which they may deem necessary or desirable without the prior written consent of the Holders or Beneficial Owners. Any amendment or supplement which shall impose or increase any fees or charges (other than the charges in connection with foreign exchange control regulations, and taxes and other governmental charges, delivery and other such expenses), or which shall otherwise materially prejudice any substantial existing right of Holders or Beneficial Owners, shall not, however, become effective as to outstanding Receipts until the expiration of 30 days after notice of such amendment or supplement shall have been given to the Holders of outstanding Receipts. The parties hereto agree that any amendments or supplements which (i) are reasonably necessary (as agreed by the Company and the Depositary) in order for (a) the ADSs to be registered on Form F-6 under the Securities Act or (b) the ADSs to be traded solely in electronic book-entry form and (ii) do not in either such case impose or increase any fees or charges to be borne by Holders, shall be deemed not to materially prejudice any substantial rights of Holders or Beneficial Owners. Every Holder and Beneficial Owner at the time any amendment or supplement so becomes effective shall be deemed, by continuing to hold such ADS(s), to consent and agree to such amendment or supplement and to be bound by the Deposit Agreement as amended or supplemented thereby. In no event shall any amendment or supplement impair the right of the Holder to surrender such Receipt and receive therefor the Deposited Securities represented thereby, except in order to comply with mandatory provisions of applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any governmental body should adopt new laws, rules or regulations which would require amendment or supplement of the Deposit Agreement to ensure compliance therewith, the Company and the Depositary may amend or supplement the Deposit Agreement and this Receipt at any time in accordance with such changed laws, rules or regulations. Such amendment or supplement to the Deposit Agreement in such circumstances may become effective before a notice of such amendment or supplement is given to Holders or within any other period of time as required for compliance with such laws, or rules or regulations.

(23) Termination. The Depositary shall, at any time at the written direction of the Company, terminate the Deposit Agreement by mailing notice of such termination to the Holders of all Receipts then outstanding at least 30 days prior to the date fixed in such notice for such termination. If 60 days shall have expired after (i) the Depositary shall have delivered to the Company a written notice of its election to resign, or (ii) the Company shall have delivered to the Depositary a written notice of the removal of the Depositary, and in either case a successor depositary shall not have been appointed and accepted its appointment as provided in herein and in the Deposit Agreement, the Depositary may terminate the Deposit Agreement by mailing notice of such termination to the Holders of all Receipts then outstanding at least 30 days prior to the date fixed for such termination. On and after the date of termination of the Deposit Agreement, the Holder will, upon surrender of such Holders' Receipt(s) at the Principal Office of the Depositary, upon the payment of the charges of the Depositary for the surrender of ADSs referred to in Article (10) hereof and in Exhibit B to the Deposit Agreement and subject to the conditions and restrictions set forth therein and subject always to the restrictions on withdrawal as may be in effect under the laws and regulations of the Republic of China, and upon 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 such Receipt. If any Receipts shall remain outstanding after the date of termination of the Deposit Agreement, the Registrar thereafter shall discontinue the registration of transfers of Receipts, and the Depositary shall suspend the distribution of dividends to the Holders 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 as provided in the Deposit Agreement, and shall continue to deliver Deposited Securities, subject to the conditions and restrictions set forth in the Deposit Agreement, 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, or charging, as the case may be, in each case the charges of the Depositary for the surrender of a Receipt, any expenses for the account of the Holder in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement and any applicable taxes or governmental charges or assessments). At any time after the expiration of six months from the date of termination of the Deposit Agreement, 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, in an unsegregated account, without liability for interest for the pro rata benefit of the Holders whose Receipts have not theretofore been surrendered, such Holders thereupon becoming general creditors of the Depositary with respect to such proceeds. After making such sale, the Depositary shall be discharged from all obligations under the Deposit Agreement with respect to the Receipts, the Deposited Securities and the ADSs, except to account for such net proceeds and other cash (after deducting, or charging, as the case may be, in each case the charges of the Depositary for the surrender of a Receipt, any expenses for the account of the Holder in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement and any applicable taxes or governmental charges or assessments). Upon the termination of the Deposit Agreement, the Company shall be discharged from all obligations under the Deposit Agreement except as set forth in the Deposit Agreement.

(24) Compliance with U.S. Securities Laws. Notwithstanding any provisions in this Receipt or the Deposit Agreement to the contrary, the withdrawal or delivery of Deposited Securities will not be suspended by the Company or the Depositary except as would be permitted by 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 of 1933.

A-21

(25) Certain Rights of the Depositary; Limitations. Subject to the further terms and provisions of this Article (25) and Section 5.10 of the Deposit Agreement, the Depositary, its Affiliates and their agents, on their own behalf, may own and deal in any class of securities of the Company and its Affiliates and in ADSs. In its capacity as Depositary, the Depositary shall not lend Deposited Securities or ADSs; provided, however, that, subject to Republic of China law and regulations, the Depositary may (i) issue ADSs prior to the receipt of Eligible Securities pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Deposit Agreement and (ii) deliver Deposited Securities upon the receipt of ADSs for cancellation upon withdrawal of Deposited Securities pursuant to Section 2.7 of the Deposit Agreement, including ADSs which were issued under (i) above but for which Eligible Securities may not have been received (each such transaction under (i) above, a "Pre-Release Transaction"). The Depositary may receive ADSs in lieu of Eligible Securities under (i) above. Each such Pre-Release Transaction will be
(a) subject to a written agreement whereby the person or entity (the "Applicant") to whom ADSs are to be delivered (w) represents that at the time of the Pre-Release Transaction the Applicant or its customer owns the Eligible Securities that are to be delivered by the Applicant under such Pre-Release Transaction, (x) agrees to indicate the Depositary as owner of such Eligible Securities in its records and to hold such Eligible Securities in trust for the Depositary until such Eligible Securities or ADSs are delivered to the Depositary or the Custodian, (y) unconditionally guarantees to deliver to the Depositary or the Custodian, as applicable, such Eligible Securities or ADSs, and (z) agrees to any additional restrictions or requirements that the Depositary deems appropriate, (b) at all times fully collateralized with cash, United States government securities or such other collateral as the Depositary deems appropriate, (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 Depositary will normally limit the number of ADSs and Eligible Securities involved in such Pre-Release Transactions at any one time to thirty percent (30%) of the ADSs outstanding (without giving effect to ADSs outstanding under (i) above), provided, however, that the Depositary reserves the right to change or disregard such limit from time to time as it deems appropriate.

The Depositary may also set limits with respect to the number of ADSs and Eligible Securities involved in Pre-Release Transactions with any one person on a case by case basis as it deems appropriate. The Depositary may retain for its own account any compensation received by it in conjunction with the foregoing. Collateral provided pursuant to (b) above, but not the earnings thereon, shall be held for the benefit of the Holders (other than the Applicant). Temporary ADSs and interests in any Certificate of Payment shall not be eligible for Pre-Release Transactions hereunder.

Exchange of Rule 144A GDSs (CUSIP #00756 M 107) for ADSs
(CUSIP # 00756 M 404)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to (i) the Amended and Restated Deposit Agreement, dated as of September 29, 2000 (the "Deposit Agreement"), by and among Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc., a company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of China (the "Company"), Citibank, N.A., a national banking association organized under the laws of the United States of America ("Citibank"), acting in its capacity as ADR Depositary (Citibank acting in such capacity, the "Depositary"), and all Holders and Beneficial Owners of American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") evidenced by American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") issued thereunder, and (ii) the Deposit Agreement, dated as of July 13, 1995, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Deposit Agreement, dated November 30, 1998 (the Deposit Agreement as so amended, the "GDS Deposit Agreement"), by and between the Company, Citibank, as GDS Depositary (Citibank acting in such capacity, the "GDS Depositary"), and (x) all Holders and Beneficial Owners of Rule 144A Global Depositary Shares, on the one hand, and (y) the Holders and Beneficial Owners of International Global Depositary Shares, on the other hand. All capitalized terms used, but not otherwise defined, herein shall have the meaning given to such terms in the Deposit Agreement.

The Company hereby irrevocably instructs the GDS Depositary to terminate the Rule 144A depositary receipts facility (the "Rule 144A Depositary Receipts Facility") established and currently existing pursuant to the GDS Deposit Agreement for the Rule 144A Global Depositary Shares bearing CUSIP # 00756 M 107 (such Rule 144A Global Depositary Shares, the "Rule 144A GDSs") upon the terms of Paragraph 27 of the Provisions of the Global Depositary Receipts attached as Annex A to the GDS Deposit Agreement and to refuse any deposits of Shares thereunder. As contemplated in the Deposit Agreement and notwithstanding the terms of the GDS Deposit Agreement, the Company requests that Citibank, in its capacity as Depositary and as GDS Depositary, establish procedures upon the terms and conditions set forth herein to enable holders and beneficial owners of


Rule 144A GDSs, who have not prior to the date hereof exchanged their Rule 144A GDSs in exchange for ADSs pursuant to the Company's registered exchange offer (pursuant to the Exchange Offer Prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under cover of Registration Statement on Form F-4, Reg. No. 333-44636), to surrender such Rule 144A GDSs at any time prior to March 30, 2001 in exchange for ADSs issued under the terms of the Deposit Agreement. The purpose and intent of this letter agreement is to supplement the Deposit Agreement for the sole purpose of accommodating the surrender of the Rule 144A GDSs, the issuance of ADSs, and the delivery of ADRs in the context of the termination (the "Termination") of the Rule 144A Depositary Receipts Facility.

For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Depositary hereby agree as follows:

1. Depositary Procedures. Citibank, in its capacity as Depositary and GDS Depositary, agrees, upon the instructions of the Company contained herein, to establish all necessary procedures to enable the surrender of Rule 144A GDSs to the GDS Depositary in connection with the Termination in order to enable the issuance by the Depositary of ADSs to the persons surrendering the Rule 144A GDSs upon the terms described herein.

In order to effectuate the foregoing, the Company hereby instructs
(i) Citibank, in its capacity as Depositary and as GDS Depositary, to distribute on or after February 2, 2001 to participants in DTC who hold Rule 144A GDSs in their DTC accounts, a Notice of Termination of Rule 144A GDR Facility substantially in the form of the draft thereof attached hereto as Exhibit A,
(ii) the GDS Depositary (a) to accept Rule 144A GDSs validly surrendered to it for purposes of receiving ADSs until March 30, 2001, and (b) to cancel such Rule 144A GDSs and to deliver the Shares represented by such Rule 144A GDSs into the custodial account established by the Depositary to accept Shares under the terms of the ADR facility established pursuant to the Deposit Agreement, in each case only upon the timely receipt of the applicable duly completed and signed Exchange Certification substantially in the form of the draft thereof attached as Exhibit B (the "Exchange Certification"), and (iii) the Depositary to issue in the name of, and deliver to, the persons who (a) validly surrendered Rule 144A GDSs to the GDS Depositary, and (b) timely delivered to the GDS Depositary the applicable duly completed and signed Exchange Certification, ADSs, that represent the number of Shares transferred on behalf of such persons from the custodial account of the Rule 144A Depositary Receipts Facility to the custodial account containing the Shares accepted for deposit in respect of the ADR Facility under the terms of the Deposit Agreement.

2. Company Assistance. The Company agrees to (i) assist the Depositary in the establishment of the procedures described above and the issuance of such ADSs, and (ii) take all commercially reasonable steps necessary and reasonably satisfactory to the Depositary to ensure that such procedures and the issuance of such ADSs do not violate the provisions of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other applicable U.S. laws. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company shall cause its U.S. counsel to deliver an opinion addressed to the Depositary stating, inter alia, that (i) all Shares represented by Rule 144A GDSs presented to the GDS Depositary in accordance with the tems hereof may be transferred by the holders of such Rule 144A GDSs without the need for registration under the Securities Act, (ii) ADSs delivered by the Depositary under the terms hereof and the Shares represented thereby may be transferred pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act by the holders of Rule 144A GDSs surrendered to the GDS Depositary under the terms hereof; and (iii) the Shares received for deposit pursuant to the terms hereof and the ADSs issued in respect thereof will not be deemed "restricted securities" (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) provided they are not held by the Company or any of its Affiliates.

2

3. Representations, Warranties and Agreements of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Depositary that (a) neither it nor any of its Affiliates (as defined in the Deposit Agreement and hereinafter used as so defined) has at any time in the two-year period preceding the date hereof deposited, or will at any time hereafter deposit, any Shares into (x) the Rule 144A Depositary Receipts Facility, except for deposits by the Company of Shares in connection with the distribution of Share dividends, (b) neither it nor any of its Affiliates currently owns, or has at any time in the two-year period preceding the date hereof owned, any Rule 144A GDSs; (c) neither it nor any entity controlled by it will at any time after the date hereof purchase or otherwise beneficially own or acquire, directly or indirectly, any Rule 144A GDSs; and (d) upon reasonable inquiry (with the assistance of its U.S. counsel) into the facts and circumstances surrounding the Rule 144A Depositary Receipts Facility, it believes that the resale and transfer restrictions applicable to the Rule 144A GDSs will not be needed after the date hereof. For the purpose of this letter agreement "control" means the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of mangement and policies of a person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.

4. Indemnity. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless (i) the Depositary, the Custodian and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and Affiliates, and (ii) the GDS Depositary, the custodian appointed under the GDS Deposit Agreement and their respective officers, directors and employees for any liability, loss, expense (including without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred as a result of, or in connection with, (x) the acceptance and cancellation of Rule 144A GDSs, as applicable, the acceptance of Shares for deposit, the issuance of ADSs and the delivery of ADRs, in each case upon the terms set forth herein, except to the extent of their own gross negligence or willful misconduct in performing such acts or omitting to perform such acts, (y) any other acts performed or omitted by the GDS Depositary or the Depositary as contemplated by this letter agreement, except to the extent of their own gross negligence or willful misconduct in performing such acts or omitting to perform such acts, or (z) its reliance on any information contained herein or acting upon any instructions set forth in or contemplated in this letter agreement.

This letter agreement shall be interpreted under, and all rights hereunder shall be governed by, the laws of the State of New York without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

After such sale, the Depositary shall be discharged from all obligations to Holders and Beneficial Owners of Rule 144A GDSs under the Deposit Agreement, except to account for such net proceeds and other cash (after deducting, or charging, as the case may be, in each case the fees of the Depositary for the surrender of Rule 144A GDSs, any expenses for the account of the Holder in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement and any applicable taxes or governmental charges or assessments).
