                and
                such designation is approved in writing by the Trustee, title to
                all or
                some of the Bonds may be transferred to an Alternative Clearing System
                or

                Clearing System on behalf of which the Bonds evidenced by the Global

                or does
                in fact do so, the Issuer will cause sufficient definitive Certificates
                to

                as

                the

                with any
                funds then held by the Principal Agent which are available for such
                purpose) to pay the amount due on redemption of all Bonds so to be

                of interest or any other sums payable in respect of the Bonds in
                accordance with the Conditions, other than sums referred to in sub-Clause
                4.1(a) above, an amount sufficient (together with any funds then
                held by
                the Principal Agent which are available for such purpose) to pay
                the

    All
      amounts deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent for the payment of Bonds
      to the Bondholders but which have not been so paid due to the subsequent
      conversion of such Bonds or otherwise shall be immediately returned to the
      Issuer upon the Issuer’s written request, provided that no interest shall accrue
      on such amounts and be payable to the Issuer by the Trustee or any Paying
      Agent.

    The
      Issuer shall procure that on or before 12:00 noon (New York time) on the second
      Business Day prior to each due date for payment of principal, premium, interest
      and/or default interest in respect of the Bonds, the bank through which such
      payment is to be made will send to the Principal Agent confirmation that it
      has
      received from the Issuer an irrevocable instruction to make the relevant payment
      (by SWIFT). 

     

    In
      this
      Clause 4, the date on which a payment in respect of the Bonds becomes due means
      the first date on which the holder of a Bond could claim the relevant payment
      by
      transfer to an account under the Conditions, but disregarding the necessity
      for
      it to be a Business Day in any particular place of presentation.

    The
      Principal Agent shall forthwith notify (in writing and by facsimile
      transmission) the Trustee, the other Agents and the Issuer if it has not, by
      10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the due date for payment of principal, premium,
      interest and/or default interest (if any) on the Bonds or any of them, received
      unconditionally in the manner provided in this Clause 4 the full amount of
      the
      moneys payable on such due date on or in respect of all such Bonds, as the
      case
      may be.

              Payment

            


    

     

    Unless
      the Paying Agents receive a notification from the Principal Agent under Clause
      4.3, they will, subject to and in accordance with the Conditions, pay or cause
      to be paid on behalf of the Issuer on and after each due date therefor the
      amounts due in respect of the Bonds and will be entitled to claim any amounts
      so
      paid from the Principal Agent. If any payment provided for in Clause 4.1 is
      made
      late but otherwise in accordance with this Agreement, the Paying Agents will
      nevertheless make such payments in respect of the Bonds. However, unless and
      until the full amount of any such payment has been made to the Principal Agent,
      none of the Paying Agents will be bound to make such payments until either
      the
      Principal Agent has received the full amount of moneys then due and payable
      in
      respect of the Bonds or other arrangements satisfactory to the Principal Agent
      have been made. If payment of any amount is made to the Principal Agent later
      than the due date for payment of such amount to the Bondholders, the Principal
      Agent shall as soon as practicable after receipt thereof give notice to the
      Bondholders in accordance with Condition 18 that such payment has been made.
      All
      payments to be made by the Paying Agents hereunder shall be made without
      charging any commission or fee to the Bondholders. Nothing contained herein
      shall require a Paying Agent to make a payment unless and until the Paying
      Agent
      has received immediately available funds sufficient to make said
      payment.

    The
      Principal Agent will on demand promptly reimburse each Paying Agent for payments
      in respect of the Bonds made by it in accordance with the Conditions and this
      Agreement. The Issuer shall on demand by the Principal Agent reimburse the
      Principal Agent for the relevant amount and pay interest to the Principal Agent
      on such amount that is outstanding from the date on which it is paid out by
      that
      Paying Agent to the date of reimbursement by the Issuer at the rate per annum
      then prevailing at the date of such funding equal to the cost to the relevant
      Paying Agent of funding the amount paid out plus two percent (2%) per annum
      as
      certified by the Principal Agent.

    The
      Paying Agents shall accept surrender of Certificates from Bondholders as a
      condition precedent to payment of principal and premium (if any) in accordance
      with the Conditions. At close of business on the second business day (as defined
      in Condition 8(F)) before the due date for payment in respect of Bonds, and,
      if
      Certificates are surrendered later than that, on any business day (as defined
      in
      Condition 8(F)) thereafter on which Certificates are surrendered, each Paying
      Agent to whom Certificates have been surrendered will notify the Registrar
      and
      the Principal Agent of the identifying numbers of Certificates surrendered
      to it
      at that time. Each Paying Agent will cancel Certificates surrendered to it
      and
      forward the cancelled Certificates to the Principal Agent for
      destruction.

      Principal Agent will account to each of the other Agents for their fees and
      expenses in respect of the services performed by them under this Agreement

      responsibility for the apportionment of any such payments.

    The
      Conversion Agent shall during normal business hours (local time in the place
      where the specified office of the relevant Conversion Agent is located) (a)
      accept deposit on behalf of the Issuer of (i) any Certificates in respect of
      Bonds which the holder(s) thereof desires to convert (and in respect of which
      Bond a Conversion Notice is deposited with that Conversion Agent prior to the
      Conversion Date) together with a Conversion Notice (in duplicate) duly completed
      and signed (where necessary) or (ii) in the case of Bonds represented by the
      Global Certificate, a Conversion Notice duly completed and signed only (which
      may, in such case, be delivered by facsimile transmission), together, in each
      case of (i) and (ii), with any amount payable by the relevant holder under
      Condition 6(B)(ii); and (b) the Issuer shall pay all stamp, issue, documentary,
      transfer, registration, excise or other taxes or duties (if any) specified
      in
      the Trust Deed or the Bonds to be payable by the Issuer. The Conversion Agent
      shall be entitled to assume, without duty to enquire, each converting Bondholder
      has, as a condition precedent to exercising its Conversion Right, paid all
      stamp, issue, registration, and similar taxes or duties or transfer costs (if
      any) (other than any amounts payable by the Issuer in accordance with the
      Conditions) which it is required to pay in accordance with the Conditions
      (including without limitation, Condition 6(B)(ii)). Once deposited, a Conversion
      Notice may not be withdrawn without the written consent of the Issuer (with
      a
      copy of such consent together with the relevant Conversion Notice sent to the
      relevant Conversion Agent at the same time).

                in accordance with Clause 6.1 and payment of any required amount
                by
                Bondholders in accordance with Condition 6(B)(ii), the Conversion
                Agent
                with which they were deposited shall verify that the Conversion Right
                is
                exercisable and that the Conversion Notice (in duplicate) has been
                duly
                completed in relation to the Bonds, which are the subject of the
                purported
                conversion, in accordance with its terms and purports to have been
                signed
                by or on behalf of the Bondholder named therein and that the Conversion
                Notice is accompanied by all Certificates (if applicable) to which
                it
                relates. Following receipt of original Conversion Notices in accordance
                with this Clause 6.4, and notwithstanding the provisions of Clause

                original Conversion Notice (if applicable) as soon as reasonably
                practicable following any such request by the Issuer. For the avoidance
                of
                doubt, the Conversion Agent should have no responsibility in respect
                of a
                Conversion Notice which is not duly completed and signed in accordance
                with Clause 6.1.

                to Provide Conversion Notice and Particulars of Adjustment to Conversion
                Price

            


    

     

    As
      soon
      as is practicable following a request from time to time, the Issuer will provide
      the Conversion Agents with copies of the form of Conversion Notice and shall,
      whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to the Trust Deed and the
      Conditions, as soon as practicable, notify each of the Trustee and the
      Conversion Agents of particulars of the event giving rise to the adjustment,
      the
      Conversion Price after such adjustment, the date on which such adjustment takes
      effect and such other particulars and information as the Trustee may reasonably
      require. If required by any Bondholder, the Conversion Agents shall make
      Conversion Notices in the current form available to Bondholders. For the
      avoidance of doubt, no Agent has any duty to determine whether any event
      requiring any adjustment to the Conversion Price has occurred or is existing,
      or
      whether any such adjustment has been correctly made and no Agent has an
      obligation to calculate any Conversion Price or any adjustment to the Conversion
      Price and will not be responsible to the Bondholders for any loss arising from
      any failure by it to do so.

    Each
      Conversion Notice deposited with a Conversion Agent and each facsimile
      transmission sent and letter delivered in respect of a Conversion Notice
      pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Clause by any Conversion Agent
      shall indicate the identification code designated below for that Conversion
      Agent, followed by the words “Asia
      Time Corporation Variable
      Rate Convertible Bonds due 2012 (US$)”,
      and
      shall bear the lowest number previously unused by that Conversion Agent in
      the
      sequence of whole numerals starting from one and continuing in uninterrupted
      sequence upwards, for identification. All confirmatory or subsequent
      communications (regardless of the identity of the sender or the recipient
      thereof) with regard to the conversion, receipt, delivery and/or payment of
      Shares and/or any other securities, property and cash relating to such
      Conversion Notice shall bear the same identifying number as well as the
      identification code of the relevant Conversion Agent.

     

    The
      identification codes of the Conversion Agent shall be as follows:

     

    BNYLDN1      

     

    Thus,
      by
      way of example, the reference to be used for the fifth Conversion Notice
      deposited with the Principal Agent and for each facsimile transmission and
      letter relating thereto would be “BNYLDN1/Asia Time Corporation Variable Rate
      Convertible Bonds due 2012/0005”.

      for conversion and the issue and delivery of Shares following such deposit
      (other than those taxes and duties payable by the converting Bondholder as
      expressly provided in Clause 6.1 or the Conditions), all expenses arising in
      the

      registration or similar taxes and duties upon exercise by such Bondholder of
      the
      Conversion Right. The Agents shall be entitled to rely without further enquiry
      and without liability on any information provided by such Bondholder in the
      Conversion Notice as to any such amounts payable and as to the details of the
      relevant tax authorities to which the Conversion Agent must pay monies received
      in settlement of the taxes and duties payable pursuant to Condition

      the
      depositing Bondholder (but shall not, save as provided below, release it) until
      the due date for redemption of the Bonds in respect of which it is issued
      pursuant to Condition 9(D) or Condition 9(E), as the case may be. On that date,
      subject as provided below, the relevant Paying Agent shall surrender such
      Certificate to itself and treat it as if surrendered by the holder in accordance
      with the Conditions and (in the case of the Global Certificate) endorse the

      and the principal amount of Bonds remaining after such redemption. If the Bond
      (or Bonds) represented by the deposited Certificate becomes (or become)

      be,
      each Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Principal Agent of the principal
      amount of Bonds in respect of which Bondholder Redemption Notices have been

    From
      time
      to time after such time (if ever) as Bonds may be transferred into a name other
      than that of the holder of the Global Certificate, the Issuer will cause a
      sufficient quantity of additional blank Certificates (other than the Global
      Certificate) to be available, upon request, to the Registrar at its specified
      office for the purpose of delivering replacement Certificates as provided below.
      The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee and the Registrar (and the Paying
      Agent, if applicable) if the authorised officer of the Issuer whose facsimile
      signature appears on such stocks of replacement Certificates ceases to be so
      authorised. In such circumstances the Issuer will promptly, properly and validly
      appoint a replacement authorised officer and upon the request of the Registrar
      or the Trustee promptly deliver to the Registrar such number of replacement
      Certificates as it may reasonably request, duly signed manually or in facsimile
      by such replacement authorised officer. Upon receipt of such replacement
      Certificates, the Registrar or its agent will be deemed to have been authorised
      by the Issuer to destroy any previous replacement Certificates and will notify
      the Issuer of such destruction.

    The
      Registrar will, subject to and in accordance with Condition 16 and the following
      provisions of this Clause, authenticate and deliver or cause to be authenticated
      and delivered (directly or, if applicable, through the relevant Agent) any
      replacement Certificates which the Issuer may determine to issue or deliver
      in
      place of Certificates which have been mutilated, defaced, lost, stolen or
      destroyed. The Registrar will inform the Issuer upon receiving any request
      from
      a Bondholder (directly or, if applicable, through the relevant Agent) for the
      issue of a replacement Certificate.

    The
      Registrar will verify with the relevant Agent, in the case of an allegedly
      lost,
      stolen or destroyed Certificate in respect of which the identifying number
      is
      known or believed to be known, that the Bond in respect of which such
      Certificate is issued has not been redeemed or converted or purchased by the
      Issuer and cancelled and the Registrar shall not deliver or cause to be
      delivered any replacement Certificate unless and until the applicant therefor
      shall have:

     

    
      	 	
              (a)

                the Registrar (directly or, if applicable, through the relevant Agent)
                with such evidence (including evidence as to the identifying number
                of the
                Certificate in question if known) and indemnity as the Issuer and
                the

              Indemnity

    The
      Issuer will indemnify each of the Agents against any losses, liabilities, costs,
      claims, actions, demands, damages or expenses which it may incur or which may
      be
      made against it as a result of or in connection with its appointment or the
      exercise or non-exercise by it of its powers, discretions and duties, except
      those may result from its own fraud, wilful misconduct or gross negligence
      or
      that of its directors, officers, employees or agents. Each Agent shall, to
      the
      extent permitted by laws, notify the Issuer promptly of any third party claim
      for which it may seek an indemnity from the Issuer and such Agent shall use
      its
      reasonable endeavours to co-operate with the Issuer in its defence of such
      claim. The relevant Agent will use its reasonable endeavours to consult with
      the
      Issuer and with respect to any settlement offer. The consultation period will
      expire on the thirtieth day after the notice of such settlement offer is given
      by the relevant Agent to the Issuer. Except in the case of fraud, wilful
      misconduct or gross negligence on its part, no Agent shall be liable either
      for
      any act or omission under this Agreement, or if any Bond, Certificate, form
      of
      transfer or Conversion Notice shall be lost, stolen, destroyed or damaged.
      Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances will the Agents be liable
      to the Issuer or any other party to this Agreement for any consequential loss
      (being loss of business, goodwill, opportunity or profit) or any special or
      punitive damages of any kind whatsoever; in each case however caused or arising
      and whether or not foreseeable, even if advised of the possibility of such
      loss
      or damage. The provisions of this Clause 16.8 shall survive the resignation
      or
      removal of any Agent or the Registrar and the termination of this Agreement.

    Except
      as
      ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or may be required by law, each
      of
      the Agents shall (whether or not the relevant Bond is overdue and regardless
      of
      any notice of ownership, trust or any interest, or writing on, or the loss
      or
      theft of, the Certificate issued in respect of it) be entitled to treat the
      registered holder of any Bond as the absolute owner for all
      purposes.

    So
      long
      as any of the Bonds remains outstanding, the Issuer shall provide the Agents
      with a sufficient number of copies of the Trust Deed and of each of the
      documents which are sent to the Trustee or which are required to be made
      available by stock exchange regulations relating to the Bonds, to be available
      and, subject to being provided with such copies, each of the Agents will procure
      that such copies shall be available at its specified office during normal office
      hours for examination by Bondholders and that copies thereof will be furnished
      to Bondholders upon request at their own expenses.

      Agent, their affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors and
      employees, may become the owner of, or acquire any interest in, any Bonds or
      Shares with the same rights that it or they would have if it were not appointed
      hereunder, and may engage or be interested in any financial or other transaction
      with the Issuer and may act on, or as depositary, trustee or agent for, any
      committee or body of holders of Bonds or other obligations of the Issuer as
      freely as if it were not appointed hereunder.

    This
      Agreement may be amended by all of the parties, without the consent of any
      Bondholder, either (a) for the purpose of curing any ambiguity or of curing,
      correcting or supplementing any defective provision contained in this Agreement

    The
      Agent
      may take and instruct any delegate to take any action which is in its sole
      discretion considers appropriate so as to comply with any applicable law,
      regulation, request of a public or regulatory authority or any Group policy
      which relates to the prevention of fraud, money laundering, terrorism or other
      criminal activities or the provision of financial and other services to
      sanctioned persons or entities. Such action may include, but is not limited
      to,
      the interception and investigation of transactions on the Issuer’s accounts
      (particularly those involving the international transfer of funds) including
      the
      source of the intended recipient of fund paid into or out of the Issuer’s
      accounts. In certain circumstances, such action may delay or prevent the
      processing of the Issuer’s instructions, the settlement of transactions over the
      Issuer’s accounts or the Agent’s performance of its obligations under this
      Agreement. Where possible, the Agent will endeavour to notify the Issuer of
      the
      existence of such circumstances. Neither the Agent nor any delegate will be
      liable for any loss (whether direct or consequential and including, without
      limitation, loss of profit or interest) caused in whole or in part by any
      actions which are taken by the Agent or any delegate pursuant to this Clause
      16.
      For the purposes of this Clause 16.20, the Group means the Issuer, its
      Subsidiaries and associated companies.

      relating to the termination of the appointment of the Principal Agent or the
      Registrar shall take effect until a new Principal Agent or, as the case may
      be,
      Registrar approved in writing by the Trustee has been appointed on terms
      approved (such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) in
      writing by the Trustee. The Issuer shall procure that there are at all times
      (a)
      a Principal Agent, (b) (if requested by the Trustee) a Paying Agent with a
      specified office in an European Union member state that will not be obliged
      to
      withhold or deduct tax pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/EC or
      any
      law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such
      Directive and (c) a Registrar which will maintain a register of Bondholders
      outside the United Kingdom. The termination of the appointment of any Agent
      shall not take effect (i) until notice thereof has given to the Bondholders
      in
      accordance with Condition 18 and (ii) within the period commencing forty-five
      (45) days immediately preceding any due date for a payment in respect of the
      Bonds and ending fifteen (15) days after such date.

              Resignation

            


    

     

    Any
      Agent
      may resign from its appointment hereunder at any time by giving to the person(s)
      referred to in Clauses 17.1(a) and 17.1(b) and the Issuer at least thirty (30)
      days’ written notice to that effect, provided that (a) in the case of the
      resignation of the Principal Agent or the Registrar, no such resignation shall
      take effect until a new Principal Agent or, as the case may be, Registrar
      approved (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) in writing
      by the Trustee has been appointed by the Issuer on terms approved (such approval
      not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) in writing by the Trustee, (b)
      no
      such resignation shall take effect unless upon the expiry of the notice period
      there are Agents as required by Clause 17.1 and the Conditions, (c) no such
      resignation shall take effect until notice thereof shall have been given to
      the
      Bondholders in accordance with Condition 18 and (d) no such notice shall be
      given so as to expire within a period commencing thirty (30) days immediately
      preceding any due date for a payment in respect of the Bonds and ending fifteen
      (15) days after such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer agrees
      with
      each Agent that if, by the day falling seven (7) Business Days before the expiry
      of any notice referred to above, the Issuer has not appointed a replacement
      Agent, then the relevant Agent shall be entitled, on behalf and at the expense
      of the Issuer, to appoint in its place any reputable financial institution
      of
      good standing on terms approved by the Trustee (such approval shall not be
      unreasonably withheld or delayed). 

     

    Notwithstanding
      any other provision of this Clause 17, the appointment of any Agent shall
      forthwith terminate if such Agent becomes incapable of acting, is adjudged
      bankrupt or insolvent, files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, makes an
      assignment for the benefit of its creditors, consents to the appointment of
      a
      receiver, administrator or other similar official of all or a substantial part
      of its property or assets or admits in writing its inability to pay or meet
      its
      debts as they mature or suspends payment thereof, or if a resolution is passed
      or an order made for the winding up or dissolution of such Agent or any
      analogous event occurs under any applicable law.

      have been given, made or served three (3) business days (in the case of inland
      post) or seven (7) business days (in the case of overseas post) after despatch
      and any notice sent by fax as provided in this Clause shall be deemed to have

      confirmation of error-free transmission (if received during business hours

      neither the non-receipt of, nor the time of receiving, any such confirmation

              The
                provisions of this Agreement are governed by, and shall be construed
                in
                accordance with, English law.

              Subject
                to sub-clause 19.4 below, the Issuer irrevocably agrees for the benefit
                of
                the Agents and the Trustee that the courts of England are to have
                exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute which may arise out
                of or in
                connection with this Agreement and accordingly submit to the exclusive
                jurisdiction of the English courts.

              The
                Issuer waives any objection to the courts of England on the grounds
                that
                they are an inconvenient or inappropriate
                forum.

            


    

     

    
      	
              19.4

            	
              The
                Agents may take any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or
                in
                connection with this Agreement (together referred to as “Proceedings”)
                against the Issuer in any other court of competent jurisdiction and
                concurrent Proceedings in any number of
                jurisdictions.

            


    

     

    
      	
              19.5

            	
              The
                Issuer irrevocably and unconditionally appoints The London Law
                Agency at
                its registered office for the time being as its agent for service
                of
                process in England in respect of any Proceedings and undertakes that
                in
                the event of it ceasing so to act it will appoint such other person
                as the
                Trustee may approve as its agent for that
                purpose.

              agrees
                to procure that, so long as any of the Bonds remain liable to

                approved by the Trustee with an office in London with authority to
                accept
                service as aforesaid;

            


    

     

    
      	 	
              (b)

            	
              agrees
                that failure by any such person to give notice of such service of
                process
                to the Issuer shall not impair the validity of such service or of
                any
                judgement based thereon; and

                Notice is

                and
