The price per Called Share shall be determined by dividing the Aggregate Call Price by the number of Called Shares, the Aggregate Call Price being equal to NT$318,750,000 plus interest at the rate of 6% per annum, compounded annually and computed from the Stock Subscription Closing Date to the date of the closing of the purchase and sale of the Called Shares pursuant to the Call Right (the "Call Closing Date"); provided, that if any -------- of the Called Shares represent stock dividends or the capitalization of capital surplus distributed with respect to the CTC Subscribed Shares or are shares in addition to the CTC Subscribed Shares which were purchased by CTC for cash or other consideration after the Stock Subscription Closing Date, the Aggregate Call Price shall be increased by the acquisition costs of such shares (cash or non-cash consideration plus taxes paid by CTC in connection with the acquisition) plus interest at the rate of 6% per annum, compounded annually and computed from the date of acquisition to the Call Closing Date. (c) Taxes. All securities transaction taxes imposed ----- by the Republic of China on the sale of the shares under the Purchase Right shall be paid by CTC. All ROC income taxes on the capital gains deriving from the sale of the shares under the Purchase Right shall be paid by W-L. (d) Extension of Time for Exercise. In the event the ------------------------------ Stock Subscription Closing Date occurs after September 30, 1993, the "July 1, 1996" date in subsection (a) will be extended by the number of days to elapse between September 30, 1993 and the Closing Date. 9.3 Purchase Right on Breach of Default. Each of CTC and ----------------------------------- W-L at any time during the term of this Agreement shall have a Purchase Right as to all, but not less than all, of the shares of Venture Stock beneficially owned by the other party at a price equal to Fair Value as of the date of notice given pursuant to Section 9.6(a) upon the continuing or repeated breach by the other part of, or its failure to discharge, its obligations under, or otherwise observe the terms of, this Agreement, but only after such other party has been given notice of the initial breach or failure and an opportunity to cure such breach or failure within 30 days after such notice has been given or such other reasonable period of time as agreed by the parties. 9.4 Put and Call Rights of Both Parties. Upon the ----------------------------------- occurrence of an Incompatibility Sequence, each of CTC and W-L shall have the following rights: (a) Call Right. The right to call for purchase (a ---------- "Call Right") all, but not less than all, of the other party's shares of Venture Stock beneficially owned at a price equal to the Fair Value thereof. The party whose shares are called shall have the right to accept the offer and sell the shares to the other party or alternatively to purchase all of the other party's shares at a price equal to Fair Value. (b) Put Right. The right to put to the other party --------- for purchase (a "Put Right") all, but not less than all, of its shares of Venture Stock beneficially owned at a price equal to Fair Value. For purposes of this Section 9.4, "Incompatibility Sequence" means a series of actions or a course of conduct reflected at meetings of the Venture's Board of Directors evidencing incompatibility of CTC and W-L as holders of Venture Stock resulting, after formal objection by one or both parties and the passage of a period of 60 days for the alteration or correction of such actions or conduct, in irresolvable deadlock or opposition with respect to operating policies or additional investment decisions (including but not limited to the use of debt versus equity financing and the use or disposition of the retained earnings of the Venture). 9.5 Determination of Fair Value. Fair Value shall be --------------------------- determined by agreement of W-L and CTC, or upon their failure to agree, by an independent valuation service selected by CTC and W-L (or selected by their respective independent accountants, if CTC and W-L are unable to agree on such selection). The determination of the firm so acting (the "Independent Valuation Firm") shall be made in accordance with the principles employed for the valuation of companies in similar lines of business at the time of valuation, and such principles shall be clearly articulated in the report of the Independent Valuation Firm setting forth the Fair Value determination (the "Valuation Report"). A preliminary version of the Valuation Report shall be furnished to CTC and W-L, each of whom within 30 days of receipt thereof shall furnish to the Independent Valuation Firm and to the other party any comments or suggestions with respect to the determination or the principles set forth therein. The Independent Valuation Firm shall consider all such comments and suggestions and shall thereupon issue the definitive Valuation Report, which shall be the final determination of Fair Value and binding upon the parties hereto. The fees and expenses of the Independent Valuation Firm shall be borne equally by CTC and W-L, and all other expenses associated with the determination contemplated hereby shall be borne by the party incurring the same. 9.6 Manner of Purchase or Exercise. ------------------------------ (a) Notice. A party desiring to effect a Transfer of ------ Shares under clause (i) of Section 9.1(a) (the "Transferor") will deliver written notice of such proposed Transfer to the other party (the "Purchaser"), offering the Purchaser the right to purchase such shares as hereinbefore provided. Such notice shall specify the number of shares to be transferred, the identity of the prospective third-party transferee (if any), the proposed price requested by the Transferor or offered by the prospective third-party transferee and the terms and conditions under which the shares are to be transferred. The Purchaser shall have a period of 25 days from the date of receipt of such notice to (i) elect to purchase such shares at the price and on the terms so offered, (ii) decline to make such purchase, or (iii) institute the procedures for a Fair Value determination contemplated by Section 9.5 in the event the Purchaser believes the proposed price is below the Fair Value of the shares, in each case by written notice to the Transferor. In the event the Purchaser declines to make the purchase, or fails to give notice to the Transferor by the end of such 25-day period, the Purchaser will be deemed to have consented to the proposed third-party transfer on the terms specified in the Transferor's notice, and the Transferor shall be free to transfer the offered shares to such third party, but at a price and terms set forth in the Transferor's notice. A party desiring to exercise its Purchase, Call or Put Right under Sections 9.2, 9.3 or 9.4, as the case may be (the "Exerciser"), will deliver written notice of its intention to effect such exercise to the other party (the "Exercisee") indicating the provision of this Agreement pursuant to which such exercise is to be effected and the reason for such exercise, if it is appropriate to provide such a reason. (b) Closing. If the parties cannot agree on Fair ------- Value, the Purchaser or Exerciser shall immediately thereafter commence, or cause to be commenced, the determination of Fair Value pursuant to Section 9.5 of this Agreement. The closing of a purchase or exercise shall occur on the date jointly selected by the parties, not less than ten business days nor more than 30 business days subsequent to the delivery of the definitive Valuation Report, subject to any applicable regulatory waiting periods, provided, that an extension for a reasonable period of time will be permitted for the purpose of obtaining financing. Within ten business days of receipt of the definitive Valuation Report, the Purchaser or Exerciser may revoke in writing the purchase offer or exercise of the Purchase, Put or Call Right, respectively. If such offer or exercise of such Purchase, Put or Call Right is not revoked within such ten day period, then the closing of the purchase or exercise of the Purchase, Put or Call Right shall occur. At such closing, the party transferring shares shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the other party the certificate or certificates representing the shares, duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by duly executed stock powers, and the party receiving shares shall deliver to the other party the aggregate amount of the purchase price, by bank check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by such party. 9.7 CTC Board Representation. Until such time as its ------------------------ Purchase Right under Section 9.2 expires, CTC will be entitled to representation on the Board of Directors of the Venture otherwise than in proportion to its holdings of shares of Venture Stock, as provided in Section 1.3. Thereafter, CTC will be entitled to Board representation in proportion to its holdings of shares of Venture Stock; provided, however, that at all times during the -------- effective term of this Agreement CTC will have the right to have at least one nominee on the Board of Directors. 9.8 Elimination of Supermajority Vote Provisions. In the -------------------------------------------- event that CTC's Purchase Right under Section 9.2 expires by its terms without being exercised, the Articles of Incorporation of the Venture shall thereafter be amended to delete therefrom all provisions requiring a supermajority vote in respect of Board of Directors or shareholder approval other than those required by the laws of the Republic of China. It is hereby acknowledged by the parties that Articles 17 and 28 of the Articles of Incorporation shall be specifically amended to provide for those protections normally provided for shareholders according to their respective holdings by the laws of the Republic of China. 9.9 Change of Venture Name. The Venture shall reasonably ---------------------- promptly change or modify its name so as to delete therefrom the word "CarTech" upon the earlier to occur of the following: (i) January 1, 2000; or (ii) if CTC and all its Permitted Transferees at any time cease to hold any shares of Venture Stock. Thereafter, the Venture will not use in its name or in product literature identifying it the words "Carpenter" or "CarTech" or any word or phrase substantially similar thereto. If W-L and all its Permitted Transferees at any time cease to hold any shares of Venture Stock, the Venture shall reasonably promptly change or modify its name so as to delete therefrom the word "Walsin" and will not use in its name or in product literature identifying it the words "Walsin" or "Lihwa" or any word or phrase substantially similar thereto. ARTICLE 10 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS ------------------------ 10.1 Governing Law.

If a consent of a third party which is required in order to assign any such contract, bid, purchase order, agreement or instrument or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom is not obtained prior to the Time of Closing, or if an attempted assignment thereof would be ineffective or would adversely affect the ability of the parties hereto will cooperate in effecting any lawful and economically feasible arrangement to provide that the Venture shall receive such interest in the benefits under any such contract, bid, purchase order, agreement or instrument or the equivalent value thereof; and any transfer or assignment to the Venture by the parties hereto or their respective Affiliates of any interest under any such contract, bid, purchase order, agreement or instrument that requires the consent of a third party shall be made subject to such consent or approval being obtained. 10.6 Titles and Headings.
