on the register of Bondholders as holders of Bonds in respect of which this Global Certificate is issued such amount or amounts as shall become due in respect of such Bonds and otherwise comply with the Conditions. 

Payments 
 While this Global Certificate is held by the
CMU Service, principal and interest in respect of this Global Certificate shall be paid to the person(s) for whose account(s) interest(s) in this Global Certificate are credited as being held by the CMU Service in accordance with the CMU Rules. If
this Global Certificate is held by the CMU Service, payment of interest or principal shall be made by the CMU Lodging and Paying Agent to the person for whose account a relevant interest in this Global Certificate is credited as being held by the
CMU Service at the relevant time as notified to the CMU Lodging and Paying Agent by the CMU Service in a relevant CMU Instrument Position Report (as defined in the CMU Rules) or any other relevant notification by the CMU Service. For these purposes,
a notification from the CMU Service shall be conclusive evidence of the records of the CMU Service (save in the case of manifest error). So long as the Bonds are represented by the Global 

  
 19 








 
Certificate and is held by or on behalf of the CMU operator, such payment by the Issuer will discharge the Issuer’s obligations in respect of that payment and such person(s) must look solely
to the CMU operator for his share of each payment made by the Issuer or in respect of the Global Certificate and in relation to all other rights arising under the Global Certificate, subject to and in accordance with the respective rules and
procedures of CMU, and such person(s) shall have no claim directly against the Issuer in respect of payments so made by the Issuer. No person shall however be entitled to receive any payment on this Global Certificate (or such part of this Global
Certificate which is required to be exchanged) falling due after any Exchange Date, unless exchange of this Global Certificate for Definitive Certificates is improperly withheld or refused by or on behalf of the Issuer or the Issuer does not perform
or comply with any one or more of what are expressed to be its obligations under any Definitive Certificates. 
 Each payment will be made to, or to the
order of, the person(s) for whose account(s) interest(s) in this Global Certificate are credited as being held by the CMU Service in accordance with the CMU Rules on each day on which the payment is due. 

Exchange 
 This Global Certificate is exchangeable in
whole but not, except as provided in the next paragraph, in part (free of charge to the holder) for the Definitive Certificates described below (1) if this Global Certificate is held on behalf of the CMU or the Alternative Clearing System and
any such clearing system is closed for business for a continuous period of 14 days (other than by reason of holidays, statutory or otherwise) or announces an intention permanently to cease business or does in fact do so or (2) if principal in
respect of any Bonds is not paid when due and payable. Thereupon the holder may give notice (which may but need not be the default notice referred to in Events of Default below) to the Fiscal Agent of its intention to require the exchange of
a specified principal amount of this Global Certificate (which may be equal to or less than the outstanding principal amount of Bonds represented hereby) for Definitive Certificates on or after the Exchange Date (as defined below) specified in the
notice. 
 On or after any Exchange Date the holder of this Global Certificate may surrender this Global Certificate or, in the case of a partial exchange,
present it for endorsement to or to the order of the Fiscal Agent. In exchange for this Global Certificate, or on endorsement in respect of the part thereof to be exchanged, the Issuer shall deliver, or procure the delivery of, an equal aggregate
principal amount of duly executed and authenticated Definitive Certificates in or substantially in the form set out in Part 2 of Schedule 1 to the Fiscal Agency Agreement. Such Definitive Certificates shall be registered in such names as the holder
shall direct in writing. 
 Exchange Date means a day falling not less than 30 days after that on which the notice requiring exchange is given and on
which banks are open for business in Hong Kong and, in the case of exchange pursuant to (1) above, Hong Kong or, if relevant, the city in which the Alternative Clearing System, is located. 

The Issuer shall procure that the Fiscal Agent will notify the Bondholders of the occurrence of any of the events specified above as soon as practicable
thereafter. 
 If, for any actual or alleged reason which would not have been applicable had there been no exchange of this Global Certificate (or part of
this Global Certificate) or in any other circumstances whatsoever, the Issuer does not perform or comply with any one or more of what are expressed to be its obligations under any Definitive Certificates, then any right or remedy relating in any way
to the obligation(s) in question may be exercised or pursued on the basis of this Global Certificate despite its stated cancellation after its exchange in full, as if the Definitive Certificates had been issued. With this exception, upon exchange in
full of this Global Certificate, this Global Certificate shall become void. 
 Except as otherwise described herein, this Global Certificate is subject to
the Conditions and, until it is exchanged for Definitive Certificates, its holder shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits as if it were 

  
 20 








 
the holder of the Definitive Certificates for which it may be exchanged and as if such Definitive Certificates had been issued on the date of this Global Certificate. 

This Global Certificate is evidence of entitlement only. Title to the Bonds passes only on due registration in the register of Bondholders and only the duly
registered holder is entitled to payments on the Bonds in respect of which this Global Certificate is issued. 
 The Conditions shall be modified with
respect to Bonds represented by this Global Certificate by the following provisions: 
 Meetings 

The registered holder of this Global Certificate (and any proxy or representative appointed by it) will be treated as being two persons for the purposes of any
quorum requirements of, or the right to demand a poll at, a meeting of Bondholders and in any such meeting as having one vote in respect of each CNY100,000 in principal amount of Bonds evidenced by such Global Certificate. 

Transfers 
 Transfers of the beneficial interests in the
Bonds represented by this Global Certificate will be effected through the records of CMU, or any Alternative Clearing System and their respective participants in accordance with the rules and operating procedures of CMU or any Alternative Clearing
System and their respective participants. 
 Cancellation 

Cancellation of any Bond represented by this Global Certificate which is required by the Conditions to be cancelled will be effected by reduction in the
principal amount of the Bonds in the register of Bondholders and this Global Certificate on its presentation to or to the order of the Fiscal Agent for annotation (for information only) in Schedule A. 

Events of Default 
 The holder hereof may exercise the
right to declare Bonds represented by this Global Certificate due and payable under Condition by stating in the notice (the default notice) to the Fiscal Agent the principal amount of Bonds (which may be less than the outstanding
principal amount hereof) to which such notice relates. 
 If principal in respect of any Bonds is not paid when due and payable (but subject as provided
below), the holder of this Global Certificate may from time to time elect that Direct Rights under the provisions of Schedule B shall come into effect. Such election shall be made by notice to the Fiscal Agent and presentation of this Global
Certificate to or to the order of the Fiscal Agent for reduction of the principal amount of Bonds represented by this Global Certificate by such figure as shall be specified in the notice by endorsement in Schedule A and the corresponding
endorsement in Schedule B of such principal amount of Bonds formerly represented hereby as the principal amount of Bonds in respect of which Direct Rights have arisen under Schedule B. Upon such notice being given the appropriate Direct Rights shall
take effect. 
 No such election may however be made on or before an Exchange Date fixed in accordance with this Global Certificate with respect to the
Bonds to which that Exchange Date relates unless the holder elects in such notice that the exchange in question shall no longer take place. 

  
 21 








 Notices 
 So
long as the Bonds are represented by this Global Certificate and this Global Certificate is held on behalf of CMU or any Alternative Clearing System, notices to Bondholders may be given by delivery of the relevant notice to the persons shown in a
CMU Instrument Position Report issued by the CMU or, as the case may be, the Alternative Clearing System rather than by publication as required by the Conditions. 

No provision of this Global Certificate shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer to pay the principal and interest on the Bonds when due in
accordance with the Conditions. 
 This Global Certificate shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose until authenticated by or on behalf of
the CMU Lodging and Paying Agent. 
 This Global Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York,
United States of America.

 SCHEDULE B 

DIRECT ENFORCEMENT RIGHTS 
 This Global
Certificate has the effect of conferring on Relevant Account Holders the Direct Rights referred to in this Schedule in respect of the principal amount of Bonds stated in paragraph 6 of this Schedule. 

 

	1.	Interpretation 

 In this Schedule, terms are used with the same meanings as in the Global
Certificate and in addition: 
 Clearing System Operator means the Central Moneymarkets Unit Service operated by the Hong Kong
Monetary Authority or any successor operator of that clearance system, or in the case of any Alternative Clearance System, the operator for the time being of that clearance system and Clearing System Operators shall be construed accordingly;

 Direct Rights means the rights referred to in paragraph 2 of this Schedule B; 

Entry means any entry relating to this Global Certificate (or to the relevant part of it) or the Bonds represented by it which is or has
been made in the securities account of any Accountholder with a Clearing System Operator and Entries shall have a corresponding meaning; 

Principal Amount means, in respect of any Entry, the amount which would be due to the holder of the account in which such Entry is
credited were the principal amount of this Global Certificate or the Bonds represented by it in respect of which such Entry was made to be paid in full at its maturity; 

Relevant Account Holder means the holder of any account with a Clearing System Operator which at the Relevant Time has credited to its
securities account with such Clearing System Operator an Entry or Entries in respect of this Global Certificate (or the relevant part of it) or the Bonds represented by it except for a Clearing System Operator in its capacity as an Accountholder of
another Clearing System Operator; and 
 Relevant Time means the time when Direct Rights take effect as contemplated by this Global
Certificate. 
  

	2.	Direct Rights 

 Each Relevant Account Holder shall at the Relevant Time acquire against
the Issuer all rights which the Relevant Account Holder in question would have had if, immediately before the Relevant Time, it had been the holder of the Definitive Certificates issued on the issue date of this Global Certificate in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the Principal Amount of the relevant Entry including, without limitation, the right to receive all payments due at any time in respect of such Definitive Certificates, other than payments corresponding to any already made
under this Global Certificate. No further action shall be required on the part of any person in order for such Direct Rights to be acquired and for each Relevant Account Holder to have the benefit of, and to enforce, rights corresponding to all the
provisions of relevant Definitive Certificates as if they had been issued and as if such provisions had been specifically incorporated in this Schedule, other than the right to receive payments corresponding to any already made under this Global
Certificate. 
  

	3.	Evidence 

 The records of each Clearing System Operator shall, in the absence of manifest
error, be conclusive evidence of the identity of the Relevant Account Holders, the number of Entries credited to the securities account of each Relevant Account Holder with such Clearing System Operator at the Relevant Time and the Principal Amount
of an Entry. For the purposes of this Clause a statement issued by a Clearing System Operator stating: 
  

	 	(a)	the name of the Relevant Account Holder to or in respect of which it is issued; 


  
 25 









	 	(b)	the number of Entries credited to the securities account of such Relevant Account Holder with such Clearing System Operator as at the opening of business on the first day on which the Clearing System Operator is open
for business following the Relevant Time; and 

  

	 	(c)	the Principal Amount of any Entry in the accounts of such Clearing System Operator, 

 shall be
conclusive evidence of the records of such Clearing System Operator at the Relevant Time (but without prejudice to any other means of producing such records in evidence). In the event of a dispute, in the absence of manifest error, the determination
of the Relevant Time by a Clearing System Operator shall be final and conclusive for all purposes in connection with the Relevant Account Holders with securities accounts with such Clearing System Operator. 

Any Relevant Account Holder may, in any proceedings relating to this Global Certificate, protect and enforce its rights arising out of this
Schedule in respect of any Entry to which it is entitled upon the basis of a statement by a Clearing System Operator as provided in this Clause and a copy of this Global Certificate certified as being a true copy by a duly authorised officer of any
Clearing System Operator or the Fiscal Agent without the need for production in such proceedings or in any court of the actual records or this Global Certificate. Any such certification shall be binding, except in the case of manifest error or as
may be ordered by any court of competent jurisdiction, upon the Issuer and all Relevant Account Holders. This Clause shall not limit any right of any Relevant Account Holder to the production of the originals of such records or documents in
evidence. 
  

	4.	Title to Entries 

 Any Relevant Account Holder may protect and enforce its rights arising
out of this Global Certificate in respect of any Entry to which it is entitled in its own name without the necessity of using the name of or obtaining any authority from any predecessor in title. Any Relevant Account Holder is entitled to receive
payment of the Principal Amount of its Entry and of all other sums referable to its Direct Rights to the exclusion of any other person and payment in full by the Issuer to such Relevant Account Holder shall discharge the Issuer from all obligations
in respect of such Entry and such Direct Rights. 
  

	5.	Governing Law 

 This Schedule and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in
connection with it shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, United States of America.

 SCHEDULE 2 

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE BONDS 
 The
following other than the words in italics is the text of the terms and conditions of the Bonds which (subject to modification) will appear on the reverse of each of the definitive certificates evidencing the Bonds: 

The issue of the Bonds was authorized by a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Issuer passed on June 4, 2014. A fiscal agency agreement (the
“Fiscal Agency Agreement”) will be entered into on or about June 24, 2014 in relation to the Bonds between the Issuer, Citicorp International Limited as fiscal agent, CMU lodging and paying agent, registrar and transfer agent,
and the agents named in it. The fiscal agent, CMU lodging and paying agent, the registrar, and any transfer agent for the time being are referred to below respectively as the “Fiscal Agent”, the “CMU Lodging and
Paying Agent”, the “Registrar”, and the “Transfer Agents”. “Agents” means the Fiscal Agent, the CMU Lodging and Paying Agent, the Registrar, the Transfer Agents and any other
agent or agents appointed from time to time with respect to the Bonds. The Fiscal Agency Agreement includes the form of the Bonds. Copies of the Fiscal Agency Agreement are available for inspection during normal business hours at the specified
offices (as defined in the Fiscal Agency Agreement) of the Fiscal Agent, the Registrar and any Transfer Agents. The holders of the Bonds (the “Bondholders”) are deemed to have notice of all the provisions of the Fiscal Agency
Agreement applicable to them. 
 All capitalized terms that are not defined in these terms and conditions (the “Conditions”) will
have the meanings given to them in the Fiscal Agency Agreement. 
  

	1.	Form, Specified Denomination and Title 

 The Bonds are issued in the specified
denomination of RMB1,000,000 and higher integral multiples of RMB100,000. 
 The Bonds are represented by registered certificates
(“Certificates”) and, save as provided in Condition 2(a), each Certificate shall represent the entire holding of Bonds by the same holder. 

Title to the Bonds shall pass only by registration in the register that the Issuer shall procure to be kept by the Registrar in accordance with
the provisions of the Fiscal Agency Agreement (the “Register”). Except as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or as required by law, the holder (as defined below) of any Bond shall be deemed to be and may be treated as its
absolute owner for all purposes whether or not it is overdue and regardless of any notice of ownership, trust or an interest in it, any writing on the Certificate representing it or the theft or loss of such Certificate and no person shall be liable
for so treating the holder. 
 In these Conditions, “Bondholder” and “holder” means the
person in whose name a Bond is registered. 
 Upon issue, the Bonds will be represented by a global certificate (the
“Global Certificate”) registered in the name of, and lodged with a sub-custodian for, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority as operator (the “Operator”) of the Central
Moneymarkets Unit Service (the “CMU”). The Conditions are modified by certain provisions contained in the Global Certificate. See “Summary of Provisions Relating to the Bonds in Global
Form”. 
 Except in the limited circumstances described in the Global Certificate, owners of interests in Bonds represented by
the Global Certificate will not be entitled to receive definitive Certificates in respect of their individual holdings of Bonds. The Bonds are not issuable in bearer form. 

So long as the Bonds are represented by the Global Certificate and the CMU so permits, transfers of interests in the Bonds through the CMU
shall be in principal amounts of at least RMB1,000,000 and higher integral multiples of RMB100,000 thereafter. Further, approval in-principle has been received for the listing and quotation of the Bonds on the Official List of the Singapore Exchange
Securities Trading Limited (the 

  
 32 








 
“SGX-ST”). The Bonds will be traded on the SGX-ST in a minimum board lot size of RMB500,000 with a minimum of four lots
to be traded in a single transaction for as long as the Bonds are listed on the SGX-ST. 
  

	2.	Transfers of Bonds 

  

	 	(a)	Transfer: A holding of Bonds may, subject to Condition 2(d), be transferred in whole or in part upon the surrender (at the specified office of the Registrar or any Transfer Agent) of the Certificate(s)
representing such Bonds to be transferred, together with the form of transfer endorsed on such Certificate(s) (or another form of transfer substantially in the same form and containing the same representations and certifications (if any), unless
otherwise agreed by the Issuer), duly completed and executed and any other evidence as the Registrar or Transfer Agent may reasonably require. In the case of a transfer of part only of a holding of Bonds represented by one Certificate, a new
Certificate shall be issued to the transferee in respect of the part transferred and a further new Certificate in respect of the balance of the holding not transferred shall be issued to the transferor. In the case of a transfer of Bonds to a person
who is already a holder of Bonds, a new Certificate representing the enlarged holding shall only be issued against surrender of the Certificate representing the existing holding. All transfers of Bonds and entries on the Register will be made in
accordance with the detailed regulations concerning transfers of Bonds scheduled to the Fiscal Agency Agreement. The regulations may be changed by the Issuer, with the prior written approval of the Registrar and the Fiscal Agent. A copy of the
current regulations will be made available by the Registrar to any Bondholder upon request. 

 Transfers of interests in the
Bonds evidenced by the Global Certificate will be effected in accordance with the rules of the CMU. 
  

	 	(b)	Delivery of New Certificates: Each new Certificate to be issued pursuant to Condition 2(a) shall be available for delivery within three business days of receipt of a duly completed form of transfer and surrender
of the existing Certificate(s). Delivery of the new Certificate(s) shall be made at the specified office of the Transfer Agent or of the Registrar (as the case may be) to whom delivery or surrender of such form of transfer or Certificate shall have
been made or, at the option of the holder making such delivery or surrender as aforesaid and as specified in the relevant form of transfer or otherwise in writing, be mailed by uninsured post at the risk of the holder entitled to the new Certificate
to such address as may be so specified, unless such holder requests otherwise and pays in advance to the relevant Transfer Agent or the Registrar (as the case may be) the costs of such other method of delivery and/or such insurance as it may
specify. In this Condition 2(b), “business day” means a day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, on which banks are open for business in the place of the specified office of the relevant Transfer Agent or the Registrar (as the case may
be). 

  

	 	(c)	Transfer or Exercise Free of Charge: Certificates, on transfer, or partial repurchase, shall be issued and registered without charge by or on behalf of the Issuer, the Registrar or any Transfer Agent, but upon
payment of any tax or other governmental charges that may be imposed in relation to it (or the giving of such indemnity as the Registrar or the relevant Transfer Agent may require). 


 

	 	(d)	Closed Periods: No Bondholder may require the transfer of a Bond to be registered (i) during the period of 15 days ending on (and including) the due date for redemption of that Bond, (ii) during the
period of 15 days ending on (and including) the date of redemption pursuant to Condition 6(b), or (iii) during the period of seven days ending on (and including) any Record Date (as defined in Condition 7). No Bondholder who has properly
tendered the Bonds in accordance with Condition 6(c) may require the transfer of a Bond to be registered during the period of 15 days ending on (and including) a Change of Control Payment Date. 


 

	3.	Status 

 The Bonds constitute (subject to Condition 4(a)) unsecured obligations of the
Issuer and shall at all times rank pari passu and without any preference among themselves. The payment obligations of the Issuer under 

  
 33 








 
the Bonds shall, save for such exceptions as may be provided by applicable legislation and subject to Condition 4(a), at all times rank at least equally with all its other present and future
unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. 
  

	4.	Covenants 

  

	 	(a)	Negative Pledge 

 So long as any Bond remains outstanding (as defined in the Fiscal
Agency Agreement), the Issuer will not, and will ensure that none of its Subsidiaries will create, or have outstanding, any Security upon the whole or any part of its present or future undertaking, assets or revenues (including any uncalled capital)
to secure any Relevant Indebtedness, or any guarantee or indemnity in respect of any Relevant Indebtedness, without at the same time or prior thereto according to the Bonds the same security as is created or subsisting to secure any such Relevant
Indebtedness, guarantee or indemnity or such other security as shall be approved by an Extraordinary Resolution (as defined in the Fiscal Agency Agreement) of the Bondholders. 
  


	 	(b)	Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets 

 The Issuer shall not consolidate with or merge
with or into, or sell, convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole on the consolidated basis to another person, unless (i) the resulting, surviving or
transferee person (if not the Issuer) is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof, the District of Columbia, the Cayman Islands, the British Virgin Islands, Bermuda or Hong Kong and such
corporation (if not the Issuer) expressly assumes all of Issuer’s obligations under the Bonds and the Fiscal Agency Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to pay additional amounts as set forth in Condition 8); and

preceding business day.

which all sums due in respect of such Bond up to that day are received by or on behalf of the relevant Bondholder, and (b) the day three days after the Fiscal Agent has notified Bondholders of receipt of all sums due in respect of all the Bonds

 Unless previously redeemed, or purchased and cancelled, the Bonds
will be redeemed at their principal amount on the Interest Payment Date falling on, or nearest to, June 26, 2017. The Bonds may not be redeemed at the option of the Issuer other than in accordance with this Condition. 

 

	 	(b)	Redemption for Taxation Reasons: 

 The Bonds may be redeemed at the option of the Issuer
in whole, but not in part, at any time, on giving not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice to the Bondholders (which notice shall be irrevocable), at their principal amount (together with interest accrued to but excluding the date fixed
for redemption), if (i) the Issuer has or will become obliged to pay Additional Tax Amounts as provided or referred to in Condition 8 as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws, regulations or treaties of a Relevant Jurisdiction
(as defined in Condition 8), or any change in the application or official interpretation of such laws, regulations or treaties, which change or amendment becomes effective on or after June 18, 2014, and (ii) such obligation cannot be
avoided by the Issuer taking reasonable measures available to it (provided that reincorporation in another jurisdiction shall not be considered a reasonable measure), provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 90 days
prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obliged to pay such Additional Tax Amounts were a payment in respect of the Bonds then due. Prior to the publication of any notice of redemption pursuant to this Condition 6(b), the Issuer
shall deliver to the Fiscal Agent a certificate signed by two directors of the Issuer stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the
Issuer so to redeem have occurred, and an opinion of independent legal advisers of recognized standing to the effect that the Issuer has or will become obliged to pay such Additional Tax Amounts as a result of such change or amendment. 

 

	 	(c)	Repurchase Upon Change of Control: 

 If a Change of Control occurs, unless the Issuer has
exercised its right to redeem the Bonds as described above in Condition 6(b), it will be required to make an offer to repurchase all or, at the holder’s option, any part (equal to RMB1,000,000 or multiples of RMB100,000 in excess thereof), of


  
 37 








 
each holder’s Bonds pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”), provided that a holder may not exercise its option to require the Issuer to make
an offer to repurchase the Bonds in part if it would result in the principal amount of any unpurchased portion of the Bonds held by such holder to be less than RMB1,000,000. In the Change of Control Offer, the Issuer will be required to offer
payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Bonds repurchased to, but not including, the date of purchase (the “Change of Control
Payment”). 
 Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuer will be required to give notice to holders of the Bonds,
describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase the Bonds on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice
is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), pursuant to the procedures required by the Bonds and described in such notice. 

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will be required, to the extent lawful, to: 

 

	 	(i)	accept for payment all Bonds properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; and 

  

	 	(ii)	deposit with the relevant Agents an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Bonds properly tendered; 


The relevant Agents will be required to promptly mail, to each holder who properly tendered the Bonds, the purchase price for such Bonds
properly tendered, and the Fiscal Agent will be required to promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each such holder a new Bond equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Bonds surrendered, if
any; provided that each new Bond will be in a principal amount of RMB1,000,000 or a multiple of RMB100,000 in excess thereof. 
 The Issuer
will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Issuer and such third party
purchases all Bonds properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. In the event that such third party terminates or defaults its offer, the Issuer will be required to make a Change of Control Offer treating the date of such termination or
default as though it were the date of the Change of Control. 
 The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange
Act (as defined in Condition 4(c)), to the extent applicable, and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Bonds as a result of a Change of
Control. To the extent that the provision of any such securities laws or regulations conflicts with the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Bonds, the Issuer will comply with those securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have
breached its obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Bonds by virtue of any such conflict. A tender agent may be appointed to assist with the Repurchase Upon Change of Control when it happens. The Fiscal Agent may act as the
tender agent.

	 	(a)	Method of Payment: 

  

	 	(i)	Payments of principal and premium shall be made (subject to surrender of the relevant Certificates at the specified office of any Transfer Agent or of the Registrar if no further payment falls to be made in respect of

so paid and will (if so requested by the Issuer or a Bondholder) issue a new Certificate with a principal amount equal to the remaining unpaid outstanding principal amount. If the amount of interest being paid is less than the amount then due, the
Registrar will annotate the Register with the amount of interest so paid. 

 For so long as any of the Bonds are represented
by the Global Certificate and the Global Certificate is held by or on behalf of the CMU, payments of interest or principal will be made to the persons for whose account a relevant interest in the Global Certificate is credited as being held by the
Operator at the relevant time, as notified to the Fiscal Agent by the Operator in a relevant CMU instrument position report (as defined in the rules of the CMU) or in any other relevant notification by the Operator. Such payment will discharge
the Issuer’s obligations in respect of that payment. Any payments by the CMU participants to indirect participants will be governed by arrangements agreed between the CMU participants and the indirect participants and will continue to depend
on the inter-bank clearing system and traditional payment methods. Such payments will be the sole responsibility of such CMU participants. 
  

	 	(b)	Payments subject to Fiscal Laws: All payments are subject in all cases to any applicable fiscal or other laws, regulations and directives in the place of payment. No commission or expenses shall be charged to the

appointment of the Fiscal Agent, the Registrar, the CMU Lodging and Paying Agent or any Transfer Agent and to appoint additional or other Transfer Agents, provided that the Issuer shall at all times maintain (i) a Fiscal Agent, (ii) a
Registrar with a specified office outside the United Kingdom, (iii) a Transfer Agent, and (iv) such other agents as may be required by any other stock exchange on which the Bonds may be listed.

	 	(e)	Delay in Payment: Bondholders will not be entitled to any interest or other payment for any delay after the due date in receiving the amount due on a Bond if the due date is not a Payment Business Day, or if the
Bondholder is late in surrendering or cannot surrender its Certificate (if required to do so). 

  

	 	(f)	Payment Business Days: In this Condition 7, “Payment Business Day” means a day (other than a Saturday or Sunday) on which banks and foreign exchange markets are open for business and settlement

principal or interest in respect of Bonds when due in Renminbi in Hong Kong, the Issuer may, on giving not less than five nor more than 30 days’ irrevocable notice to the Bondholders prior to the due date for payment, settle any such payment in
US dollars on the due date at the US Dollar Equivalent of any such Renminbi denominated amount. The due date for payment shall be the originally scheduled due date or such postponed due date as shall be specified in the notice referred to above,
which postponed due date may not fall more than 20 days after the originally scheduled due date. Interest on the Bonds will continue to accrue up to but excluding any such date for payment of principal. 


In such event, payments of the US Dollar Equivalent of the relevant principal or interest in respect of the Bonds shall be made by a US dollar
denominated cheque drawn on a bank in New York City and mailed to the holder (or to the first named of joint holders) of the Bonds at its address appearing in the Register, or, upon application by the holder to the specified office of the Registrar
or any Transfer Agent before the Record Date, by transfer to a US dollar denominated account with a bank in New York City.

 “Inconvertibility” means the occurrence of any event that makes it impossible (where it had previously been possible) for
the Issuer to convert any amount due in respect of the Bonds in the general Renminbi exchange market in Hong Kong, other than where such impossibility is due solely to the failure of the Issuer to comply with any law, rule or regulation enacted by

“Non-transferability” means the occurrence of any event that makes it impossible for the Issuer to transfer Renminbi between

on a non-deliverable basis by reference to Reuters Screen page <TRADNDF>. 
 If neither rate is available, the Fiscal Agent will
determine the Spot Rate at or around 11.00 a.m. (Hong Kong time) on the Determination Date as the most recently available RMB/U.S. dollar official fixing rate for settlement in two Determination Business Days reported by The State
Administration of Foreign Exchange of the PRC, which is reported on the Reuters Screen Page CNY=SAEC. Reference to a page on the Reuters Screen means the display page so designated on the Reuter Monitor Money Rates Service (or any successor service)

manifest error) be binding on the Issuer, the Agents and all Bondholders. 
  

	8.	Taxation 

 All payments of principal, premium and interest by or on behalf of the Issuer
in respect of the Bonds shall be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for, any taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or within the United

pursuant to the terms thereof or was made or duly provided for, except to the extent that the holder thereof would have been entitled to such Additional Tax Amounts if it had presented such Bond for payment on any date within such 30-day period; or


  

	 	(D)	the presentation of such Bond (where presentation is required) for payment in the Relevant Jurisdiction, unless such Bond could not have been presented for payment elsewhere;

	 	(b)	with respect to any payment of the principal of, or interest on, such Bond to or for the account of a fiduciary, partnership or other fiscally transparent entity or any other person (other than the sole beneficial owner
of such payment) to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to that fiduciary, or a partner or member of that partnership or fiscally transparent entity or a beneficial owner with respect to such other person, as the case may be, would

interest (as the case may be) which may be payable under this Condition 8 or any undertaking given in addition to or in substitution of this Condition 8. 

  
 43 









	9.	Events of Default 

 Each of the following is an event of default (“Event of
Default”): 
  

	 	(a)	Default in any payment of interest or additional amounts, if any, on any of the Bonds when due and payable and the default continues for a period of 30 days; 


 

	 	(b)	Default in the payment of principal of any of the Bonds when due and payable at its stated maturity, upon any required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise; 


 

	 	(c)	The failure to give a change of control notice as described under Condition 6(c) when due, and such failure continues for a period of five business days; 


 

	 	(d)	The failure to comply with the Issuer’s obligations under Condition 4, which default is incapable of remedy or is not remedied within 30 days after notice of such default shall have been given to the Issuer by any
Bondholder; 

  

	 	(e)	Default by the Issuer or any of its “significant subsidiaries” as defined in Article 1, Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X, with respect to any mortgage, agreement or other instrument under which there may be
outstanding, or by which there may be secured or evidenced, any indebtedness for money borrowed in excess of US$15 million (or the foreign currency equivalent thereof) in the aggregate of the Issuer and/or any such significant subsidiary, whether
such indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created (i) resulting in such indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable prior to its stated maturity (including, without limitation, a default in the payment of any interest on
such indebtedness resulting in such indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable prior to its stated maturity), or (ii) constituting a failure to pay the principal of any such debt when due and payable (after any applicable grace
period) at its stated maturity, upon required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise; 

  

	 	(f)	An involuntary case or other proceeding is commenced against the Issuer or any of its significant subsidiaries, as defined in Article 1, Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X, with respect to it or its debts under any applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect seeking the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Issuer or any of its significant subsidiaries, as defined
in Article 1, Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X, or all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Issuer or any of its significant subsidiaries, as defined in Article 1, Rule 1- 02 of Regulation S-X, and such involuntary case or other
proceeding remains undismissed and unstayed for a period of 60 consecutive days; or an order for relief is entered against the Issuer or any of its significant subsidiaries, as defined in Article 1, Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X, under any applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law as now or hereafter in effect; 

  

	 	(g)	the Issuer or any of its significant subsidiaries, as defined in Article 1, Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X, (i) commences a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or
hereafter in effect, or consents to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, (ii) consents to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or
similar official of the Issuer or any of its significant subsidiaries, as defined in Article 1, Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X, or for all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Issuer or any of its significant subsidiaries, as defined
in Article 1, Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X or (iii) effects any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or 

  

	 	(h)	a final judgment for the payment of US$15 million (or the foreign currency equivalent thereof) or more (excluding any amounts covered by insurance) rendered against the Issuer or any of its significant subsidiaries, as

or (ii) the date on which all rights to appeal have been extinguished. 

 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing,
then any Bond may, by notice in writing given to the Fiscal Agent at its specified office by the holder, be declared immediately due and payable whereupon it shall 

  
 44 








 
become immediately due and payable at its principal amount together with accrued interest without further formality unless such Event of Default shall have been remedied prior to the receipt of
such notice by the Fiscal Agent. 
 For the avoidance of doubt, each of our consolidated affiliated entities will be deemed to be a
“subsidiary” for purposes of the definition of “significant subsidiary” in Article 1, Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X. 
  

	10.	Prescription 

 Claims against the Issuer for payment in respect of the Bonds shall be
prescribed and become void unless made within 10 years (in the case of principal) or five years (in the case of interest) from the date on which the payment in question first becomes due. 

 

	11.	Replacement of Certificates 

 If any Certificate is lost, stolen, mutilated, defaced or
destroyed, it may be replaced, subject to applicable laws, regulations or other relevant regulatory authority regulations, at the specified office of the Registrar or such other Transfer Agent as may from time to time be designated by the Issuer for
that purpose and notice of whose designation is given to Bondholders, in each case on payment by the claimant of the fees and costs incurred in connection therewith and on such terms as to evidence, security, indemnity and otherwise as the Issuer
may require (provided that the requirement is reasonable in light of prevailing market practice). Mutilated or defaced Certificates must be surrendered before replacements will be issued. 

 

	12.	Meetings of Bondholders and Modification 

  

	 	(a)	Meetings of Bondholders: The Fiscal Agency Agreement contains provisions for convening meetings of Bondholders to consider matters affecting their interests, including the sanctioning by Extraordinary Resolution
of a modification of any of these Conditions. Such a meeting may be convened by Bondholders holding not less than 10% in principal amount of the Bonds for the time being outstanding. The quorum for any meeting convened to consider an Extraordinary
Resolution will be two or more persons holding or representing a clear majority in principal amount of the Bonds for the time being outstanding, or at any adjourned meeting two or more persons being or representing Bondholders whatever the principal
amount of the Bonds held or represented, unless the business of such meeting includes consideration of proposals, inter alia, (i) to modify the maturity of the Bonds or the dates on which interest is payable in respect of the Bonds,
(ii) to reduce or cancel the principal amount of, any premium payable on redemption of, or interest on, the Bonds, (iii) to change the currency of payment of the Bonds, or (iv) to modify the provisions concerning the quorum required
at any meeting of Bondholders or the majority required to pass an Extraordinary Resolution (each of (i) through (iv) in the foregoing, a “Fundamental Change”), in which case the necessary quorum will be two or more
persons holding or representing not less than 66%, or at any adjourned meeting not less than 25%, in principal amount of the Bonds for the time being outstanding. Any Extraordinary Resolution duly passed shall be binding on Bondholders (whether or
not they were present at the meeting at which such resolution was passed). 

 The Fiscal Agency Agreement provides that a
resolution in writing signed by or on behalf of the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Bonds outstanding shall for all purposes be as valid and effective as an Extraordinary Resolution passed at a meeting of Bondholders
duly convened and held, provided that resolution in writing in respect of a Fundamental Change shall be signed by or on behalf of the holders of not less than 75% in principal amount of the Bonds outstanding. Such a resolution in writing may be
contained in one document or several documents in the same form, each signed by or on behalf of one or more Bondholders. 
  

	 	(b)	Modification of the Fiscal Agency Agreement: The Issuer shall only permit any modification of, or any waiver or authorization of any breach or proposed breach of or any failure to comply with, the Fiscal Agency
Agreement, if to do so could not reasonably be expected to be materially prejudicial to the interests of the Bondholders. 


  
 45 









	13.	Further Issues 

 The Issuer may from time to time without the consent of the Bondholders
create and issue further securities either having the same terms and conditions as the Bonds in all respects (or in all respects except for the first payment of interest on them) and so that such further issue shall be consolidated and form a single
series with the outstanding securities of any series (including the Bonds) or upon such terms as the Issuer may determine at the time of their issue. References in these Conditions to the Bonds include (unless the context requires otherwise) any
other securities issued pursuant to this Condition and forming a single series with the Bonds. 
  

	14.	Notices 

 Notices to the holders of Bonds shall be mailed to them at their respective
addresses in the Register and deemed to have been given on the fourth weekday (being a day other than a Saturday or a Sunday) after the date of mailing. The Issuer shall also ensure that notices are duly published in a manner that complies with the
rules and regulations of any stock exchange or other relevant authority on which the Bonds are for the time being listed. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the date of such publication or, if published more than once, on the
first date on which publication is made. 
  

	15.	Currency Indemnity 

 Subject to Condition 7(g), the Renminbi is the sole currency of
account and payment for all sums payable by the Issuer under or in connection with the Bonds, including damages. Any amount received or recovered in a currency other than Renminbi (whether as a result of, or of the enforcement of, a judgment or
order of a court of any jurisdiction, in the insolvency, winding-up or dissolution of the Issuer or otherwise) by any Bondholder in respect of any sum expressed to be due to it from the Issuer shall only constitute a discharge to the Issuer to the
extent of the Renminbi amount which the recipient is able to purchase with the amount so received or recovered in that other currency on the date of that receipt or recovery (or, if it is not practicable to make that purchase on that date, on the
first date on which it is practicable to do so). If that Renminbi amount is less than the Renminbi amount expressed to be due to the recipient under any Bond, the Issuer shall indemnify it against any loss sustained by it as a result. In any event,
the Issuer shall indemnify the recipient against the cost of making any such purchase. For the purposes of this Condition, it will be sufficient for the Bondholder to demonstrate that it would have suffered a loss had an actual purchase been made.
These indemnities constitute a separate and independent obligation from the Issuer’s other obligations, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by any Bondholder and
shall continue in full force and effect despite any other judgment, order, claim or proof for a liquidated amount in respect of any sum due under any Bond or any other judgment or order. 

 

	16.	Governing Law and Jurisdiction 

  

	 	(a)	Governing Law: The Fiscal Agency Agreement and the Bonds are governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, United States of America. 


 

	 	(b)	Jurisdiction: The courts of the State of New York and the United States District Court located in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City are to have jurisdiction to settle any legal action or proceedings
arising out of or in connection with any Bonds (“Proceedings”) and accordingly any Proceedings may be brought in such courts. The Issuer irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the United
States District Court located in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City and waives any objection to Proceedings in such courts whether on the ground of venue or on the ground that the Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum. This
submission is made for the benefit of the holders of the Bonds and shall not affect the right of any of them to take Proceedings against the Issuer in any other court of competent jurisdiction nor shall the taking of Proceedings in one or more
jurisdictions preclude any of them from taking Proceedings in any other jurisdiction (whether concurrently or not). 

  

  
 46 









	 	(c)	Agent for Service of Process: The Issuer irrevocably appoints Law Debenture Corporate Services Inc., with offices at 400 Madison Avenue, 4th Floor, New York, New York 10017 as its agent to receive service of
process in any Proceedings in the State of New York based on any of the Bonds. If for any reason the Issuer does not have such an agent in the State of New York, it will promptly appoint a substitute process agent and notify the Bondholders of such
appointment. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

	8.1	Each question submitted to a meeting shall be decided by a show of hands unless a poll is (before, or on the declaration of the result of, the show of hands) demanded by the chairman, the Issuer or one or more persons
representing 2% of the Bonds.

against it. 

  

	8.3	If a poll is demanded, it shall be taken in such manner and (subject as provided below) either at once or after such adjournment as the chairman directs. The result of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of

	8.4	A poll demanded on the election of a chairman or on a question of adjournment shall be taken at once.

 50 









	9.	Effect and Publication of an Extraordinary Resolution 

 An Extraordinary Resolution shall
be binding on all the Bondholders, whether or not present at the meeting, and each of them shall be bound to give effect to it accordingly. The passing of such a resolution shall be conclusive evidence that the circumstances justify its being
passed. The Issuer shall give notice of the passing of an Extraordinary Resolution to Bondholders within 14 days but failure to do so shall not invalidate the resolution. 
  

	10.	Minutes 

 Minutes shall be made of all resolutions and proceedings at every meeting and,
if purporting to be signed by the chairman of that meeting or of the next succeeding meeting, shall be conclusive evidence of the matters in them. Until the contrary is proved every meeting for which minutes have been so made and signed shall be
deemed to have been duly convened and held and all resolutions passed or proceedings transacted at it to have been duly passed and transacted. 
  

	11.	Written Resolutions 

 A written resolution signed by or on behalf of the holders of not
less than a majority in principal amount of the Bonds outstanding shall take effect as if it were an Extraordinary Resolution, provided that a resolution in writing in respect of a Fundamental Change shall be signed by or on behalf of the holders of
not less than 75% in principal amount of the Bonds outstanding. Such a resolution in writing may be contained in one document or several documents in the same form, each signed by or on behalf of one or more Bondholders.
