            	5.1	
              Interest
                rate: Interest of the Loan is calculated at the floating rate in
                accordance with the interest rate of the People’s Bank of China for term
                of 12 months.

            


    

     

    
      The
        term
        of each settled floating rate (“Rate Term”) is 6 months commencing from the
        drawdown date. From the next day of the maturity date of the Rate Term, a
        new
        interest rate shall be applied in accordance with the rate of the day of
        the
        People’s Bank of China for another Rate Term.

        interest rate of the Loan shall be finally confirmed by the rate stated on
        the
        certificate of indebtedness.

    

     

    If
      Party
      B changes the purpose of the Loan, Party A is entitled to charge interest on
      the
      misused portion of the Loan at the rate equaling to 2 times of the normal Loan
      interest rate based on misused days.

     

    If
      Party
      B fails to repay the Loan before the due date, Party A is entitled to charge
      interest on the amount in default at the rate equaling to 1.5 times of the
      normal Loan interest rate.

     

    If
      both
      events above-mentioned occur simultaneously, Party B should impose penalty
      based
      on the breach which is more severe instead of based on both events.

     

    If
      the
      People’s Bank of China changes the lending rate during the term of the Loan, the
      interest of the Loan shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions
      relating to such change.

                and
                shall be calculated once a month at the 20th day of each
                month.

            


    

    


    
      	
            	5.3	
              Payment
                of interest: Party B shall pay the interest on each interest calculation
                date. Party A may deduct the interest directly from Party B’s deposit
                account. If Party B fails to pay the interest by the time prescribed,
                Party A is entitled to charge compound interest on the interest in
                default.

            	13.1.4	
              In

                measures for further securing payment of the debts hereunder as required
                by Party A after having knowledge of such occurrence or Party A considers

              Party
                B is in violation of Clauses 9.1, 9.2 and 9.4 hereof which impair

            	13.2	
              If
                the guarantor is found to have been in any of the following situations,
                which Party A considers that it is likely to affect the capability
                of the
                guarantor to perform its obligations under the guarantee and requires
                the
                guarantor to eliminate such adverse effects, or requires Party B
                to
                increase or change the terms of guarantee, but the guarantor and
                Party B
                fail to do so, it shall be deemed as an occurrence of events of
                default:

            


    

    
      	
            	13.2.1	
              Any
                of the events similar to those described in Clause 7.2.6 hereof

            	13.2.2	
              The
                guarantor has concealed the information on its capability to undertake
                the
                obligations of the guarantee or has not obtained authorization from
                the
                authority when executing the Irrevocable Letter of
                Guarantee;

            


    

    
      	
            	13.2.3	
              The
                guarantor fails to keep the registration in force by going through
                the
                annual examination formalities;

            


    

    
      	
            	13.2.4	
              The
                guarantor neglects to manage and enforce its claim for the matured
                liabilities, or disposes of its existing major assets for no
                considerations or in other improper
                manners.

            


    

    


    
      	
            	13.3	
              If
                the mortgagor (or the pledgor) is found to have been in any of the
                following situations, which Party A considers that the creation of
                mortgage (or pledge) is likely to end in failure or the value of
                the
                security (or the collateral) is likely to have a fall, and requires
                the
                mortgagor (or the pledgor) to eliminate such adverse effects, or
                requires
                Party B to increase or change the terms of guarantee, but the mortgagor
                (or the pledgor) and Party B fail to do so, it shall be deemed as
                an
                occurrence of events of default:

            


    

    
      	
            	13.3.1	
              The
                mortgagor (or the pledgor) has no title to or right to dispose of
                the
                security (or the collateral), or such title or right is in
                dispute;

            


    

    
      	
            	13.3.2	
              The
                mortgagor (or the pledgor) conceals the facts that the security (or
                the
                collateral) is jointly owned, leased, distrained or taken
                over;

            


    

    
      	
            	13.3.3	
              Without
                prior written consent from Party A, the mortgagor transfers, leases
                out,
                places a second mortgage on the security or disposes of the security
                in
                any other improper manner;

            


    

    
      	
            	13.3.4	
              The
                mortgagor fails to keep the security in safe custody or to maintain
                and
                repair the security properly, leading to substantial depreciation
                of the
                value of the security; or the mortgagor's actions jeopardize the
                security
                directly, leading to a fall in the value of the security, or the
                mortgagor
                fails to keep the security insured as required by Party A during
                the
                continuance of the mortgage.

            


    

    


    
      	
            	13.4	
              Should
                any of the events of default described in Clauses 13.1, 13.2 and
