 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On December&nbsp;26, 2007, as part of a plan to improve the electricity tariff structure, the Ministry of
Commerce Industry and Energy (&#147;MOCIE&#148;) announced its plan to adjust our electricity rate tariff by increasing the average industrial rates and average night power usage rates by 1.0% and 17.5%, respectively, while reducing the average
commercial rates by 3.2%. As a result of such adjustments which had the effect of balancing out the increase with the decrease, our overall average rate is not expected to change. The adjusted tariff will go into effect as of January&nbsp;1, 2008.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The tariffs we charge for electricity vary depending on the categories of consumers, which principally consist of industrial, commercial,
residential, educational and agricultural consumers. The rates for night power usage are charged to consumers using the night power usage system available to customers with electric appliances or equipments that use energy stored during the night
before (from 11:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m. of the following morning). Such system was introduced primarily for the purpose of managing electricity demand by encouraging customers to use more power during off-peak hours of the day with less demand. The
night power usage rates had been largely classified as residential rates. In 2006, revenues from night power usage accounted for approximately 2% of our total electricity revenues. </FONT></P> <P
