Whereas:


In order to ensure that the debtor can
comprehensively and promptly fulfill the obligations under the master contract and guarantee the realization of the creditor’s
rights, the aforesaid warrantor (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “warrantor”) voluntarily assumes the guarantee
liability according to this contract and conclude agreements as follows.


 


Article 1 Warranty Liability


 


1.1 Warranty Method 


The warranty method hereunder is joint
and several liability warranty.


The warrantor confirms that when the debtor
fails to fulfill its debts according to the agreements hereof, no matter whether the creditor owns other guarantee rights (including
but not limited to warranty, mortgage, pledge and other guarantee methods) to the creditor’s rights under the master contract,
the creditor shall have the right to first require any warrantor hereunder to assume warranty liability within the warranty scope
agreed herein without first requiring other guarantors to fulfill guarantee liability.


1.2 Warranty Scope 


In addition to the principal creditor’s
right mentioned herein, the warranty scope hereunder also covers interests (interests referred to herein include interests, penalty
interests and compound interests), liquidated damages, damage compensation, handling fee and other fees generated from signature
and fulfillment of this contract and fees generated by the creditor from realizing the guarantee rights and creditor’s rights
(including but not limited to litigation fee, attorney’s fee, travel fee, etc.), and deposit needing to be made up by the
debtor as required by the creditor based on the master contract.


1.3 Warranty Period 


The warranty period is calculated separately
at each creditor’s right by the creditor to the debtor, two years from the day of expiry of the fulfillment term of each
creditor’s right contract debt to the day of expiry of the debt fulfillment term agreed in the creditor’s right contract.


The warrantor assumes warranty liability
for the repayment obligation fulfilled by installment under a single contract within the occurrence period of the creditor’s
right. The warranty period is two years from the day of expiry of the fulfillment term of each period of debt to the day of expiry
of the last repayment term under the single contract.


“Due”, “expiry”
referred to herein include the circumstance of advance expiry of the principal creditor’s right as announced by the creditor.


If the principal creditor’s right
announced to be due in advance is all or a part of the creditor’s rights within the period of determining the creditor’s
rights, the advance due day announced shall be the due day of all or a part of the creditor’s rights, and the determination
period of the creditor’s rights shall be due at the same time. The creditor announces any claims put forward by the creditor
to authorities in an indictment or application or other documents.


Where the creditor and the debtor reach
an extension agreement on the fulfillment term of the principal debt, the warranty period shall be two years after the day of expiry
of the debt fulfillment term re-agreed in the extension agreement.

conducted by the creditor and the debtor and other circumstances have not aggregated the warrantor’s liability, without the
consent of the warrantor, the creditor’s rights and interests hereunder will not be affected by such change. The warrantor’s
guarantee liability shall be exempted hence.


Despite of the aforesaid regulations,
if the creditor provides the debtor with the business of opening L/C, L/G or SLC, any modification conducted by the creditor or
the debtor to the master contract (including the opened L/C, L/G or SLC) does not need the warrantor’s consent or separate
