the law of any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability
of the remaining provisions of this Debenture under such laws nor of such
provision under the laws of any other jurisdiction shall in any way be affected
or impaired thereby and, if any part of the Security intended to be created by
or pursuant to this Debenture is invalid, unenforceable or ineffective for any
reason, that shall not affect or impair any other part of that Security.

Obligations before exercising any Collateral Right.

or in connection with, the Transaction Documents by any Secured Party.


 


22.9       Settlement
conditional


 


Any settlement, discharge or release hereunder
in relation to the Chargor or all or any part of the Charged Property shall be
conditional upon no Security or payment by any or all of the Obligors to, or
recovery from any or all of the Obligors by, any or all of the Secured Parties
being avoided or reduced by virtue of any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation
or similar laws of general application or any similar event or for any other
reason and shall in those circumstances be void.


 


23.         RELEASE
OF SECURITY


 


23.1       Redemption
of Security


 


After the occurrence of the Release Date, the
Security Agent shall, at the request (with reasonable notice) and cost of the
Chargor, release and cancel the Security constituted by this Debenture and

sold, assigned or otherwise disposed of or applied in accordance with this
Debenture), in each case subject to Clauses 23.2 (Avoidance of Payments) and 22.9 (Settlement conditional) and without recourse to, or any
representation or warranty by, the Security Agent or any of its nominees.


 


23.2       Avoidance
of Payments


 


If the Security Agent considers that any amount
paid or credited to or recovered by any Secured Party by or from any Obligor is
capable of being avoided or reduced by virtue of any bankruptcy, insolvency,
liquidation or similar laws, the liability of the Chargor under this Debenture
and the Security constituted by this Debenture shall continue and such amount
shall not be considered to have been irrevocably paid.


 


32

















 


24.         SUBSEQUENT
SECURITY INTERESTS


 


If the Security Agent (acting in its capacity
as security agent or trustee or otherwise) or any of the other Secured Parties
at any time receives or is deemed to have received notice of any subsequent
Security or other interest affecting all or any part of the Charged Property or
any assignment or transfer of the Charged Property which is prohibited by the terms
of this Debenture or any Transaction Document, all payments thereafter by or on
behalf of any or all of the Obligors to the Security Agent (whether in its
capacity as security agent or trustee or otherwise) or any of the other Secured
Parties shall be treated as having been credited to a new account of the
Security Agent or, as the case may be, that other Secured Party and not as
having been applied in reduction of the Secured Obligations as at the time when
(or at any time after) the Security Agent or any other Secured Party received
such notice of such subsequent Security or other interest or such assignment or
transfer.

other rate of exchange as may be available to the Security Agent) for the time
being for obtaining such other currency with such first-mentioned currency.


 


25.2       Currency
Indemnity


 


If any sum (a “Sum”)
owing by the Chargor under this Debenture or any order or judgment given or
made in relation to this Debenture has to be converted from the currency (the “First Currency”) in which such Sum is payable into another
currency (the “Second Currency”) for the purpose
of:


 


25.2.1       making or filing a claim or proof against the Chargor;


 


25.2.2       obtaining an order or judgment in any court or other tribunal;

the Chargor shall indemnify the Security Agent
from and against any loss suffered or incurred as a result of any discrepancy
between (a) the rate of exchange used for such purpose to convert such Sum
from the First Currency into the Second Currency and (b) the rate or rates
of exchange available to the Security Agent at the time of such receipt or
recovery of such Sum.

EXPENSES AND INDEMNITY

calculated in accordance with the provisions of the Facility Agreement
(applying mutatis mutandis as if
the same were an Unpaid Sum thereunder).


 


26.2       Stamp
taxes

and other Taxes to which this Debenture, the Security contemplated in this
Debenture and/or any judgment given in connection with this Debenture is, or at

any part thereof.


 


27.         PAYMENTS
FREE OF DEDUCTION


 


All payments to be made to the Security Agent
under this Debenture shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for
or on account of Tax unless the Chargor is required to make such payment
subject to the deduction or withholding of Tax, in which case the sum payable
by the Chargor in respect of which such deduction or withholding is required to
be made shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the
making of such deduction or withholding, the person on account of whose
liability to Tax such deduction or withholding has been made receives and
retains (free from any liability in respect of any such deduction or withholding)
a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received and so retained had no
such deduction or withholding been made or required to be made.

Jurisdiction

to a Dispute in any other courts with jurisdiction.  To the extent allowed by law the Security
Agent may take concurrent proceedings in any number of jurisdictions.


 


36.4       Service

Without prejudice to any other mode of service
allowed under any relevant law, the Chargor:

Limited of 1/F., Sunning Plaza, 10 Hysan Avenue, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong as its
agent for service of process in relation to any proceedings before the Hong
Kong courts in connection with this Debenture; and


 


36.4.2       agrees that failure by a process agent to notify the Chargor of any
process will not invalidate the proceedings concerned.


 


36.5       Waiver of
immunity


 


The Chargor waives generally all immunity it or
its assets or revenues may otherwise have in any jurisdiction, including
immunity in respect of:


 


36.5.1       the giving of any relief by way of injunction or order for specific
performance or for the recovery of assets or revenues; and/or


 


36.5.2       the issue of any process against its assets or revenues for the
enforcement of a judgment or, in an action in
rem, for the arrest, detention or sale of any of its assets and

is due to take effect;


 


(b)            without
prejudice to paragraph 2(a), any default by any insured party under the Policy

request and to send it copies of all notices issued by you under the Policy of
