1. General cases: The Company shall pay the principal and/or interest under the debentures to the
debentureholder by means of a crossed check marked "A/C payee only" in the name of the debentureholder
dated on a business day that the Company is required to make such repayment and shall be sent by registered
post in advance to the debentureholders at their address appearing in the register. In this regard, for the last
principal repayment, the Company shall not be required to make payment until the debentureholder shall surrender
the certificate at the head office of the Company. The debentureholder may surrender the certificate prior the due
date and the Company shall issue a written acknowledgement of receipt thereof as evidence.
2. The case where the debentures are held by the Securities Depository Center on behalf of the
debentureholders: The Company shall pay the principal and/or interest under the debentures to the persons
whose name are notified by the Securities Depository Center to the Company and/or the Registrar as being
holders of the amounts of debentures entered in the register in the name of the Securities Depository Center
by means of a cross check marked "A/C payee only" in the name of the debentureholder dated on a business
day that the Company is required to make such repayment and shall be sent by registered post in advance to the
debentureholders at their addresses appearing in the register. However, the Company is not required to make
payment for the last principal repayment until it has received from the Securities Depository Center the certificate
or the written acknowledgement of receipt used in lieu of the certificate which may be delivered by the Securities
Depository Center before the due date for payment, and the Company shall issue a written evidence of the receipt
thereof.
The Company shall assign the Registrar to prepare and send a crossed check marked "A/C payee only"
to the debentureholders according to the name appearing in the register for the purpose of determining the name
