Guarantor of this Guarantee until payment AND the Guarantor hereby further
agrees and undertakes with the Lender as follows: --

1.       This guarantee shall not be considered as satisfied by any intermediate
         payment or satisfaction of the whole or any part of any sum or sums of
         money owing as aforesaid but shall be a continuing security and shall
         extend to cover any sum or sums of money which shall for the time being
         constitute the balance due from the Customer to the Lender upon any
         such account as hereinbefore mentioned.

2.       This guarantee shall be binding as a continuing security on the
         Guarantor until the expiration of three calendar months after he or in
         the case of his dying or becoming under disability his executors,
         administrators or legal representatives shall have given to the Lender
         notice in writing to discontinue and determine it, but such
         determination shall not release the Guarantor from this guarantee in
         respect of liability, actual or contingent, undertaken by the Lender
         during the currency of this guarantee, but not maturing till after the
         determination of this guarantee.

3.       In the event of this guarantee ceasing from any cause whatsoever to be
         binding as a continuing security on the Guarantor, the Lender shall be
         at liberty without thereby affecting its rights hereunder to open a
         fresh account or accounts and to continue any then existing account
         with the Customer and no money paid from time to time into any such
         account or accounts by or on behalf of the Customer and subsequently
         drawn out by the Customer shall on settlement of any claim in respect
         of this guarantee be appropriated towards or have the effect of payment
         of any part of the money due from the Customer at the time of this
         guarantee ceasing to be so binding as a continuing security or of the
         interest thereon unless the person or persons paying in the money shall
         at the time in writing direct the Lender specially to appropriate it to
         that purpose.

4.       The Lender shall be at liberty without thereby affecting its rights
         against the Guarantor hereunder at any time to determine, enlarge, or
         vary any credit to the Customer; to vary, exchange, abstain from
         perfecting or releasing any other securities held or to be held by the
         Lender for or on account of the monies intended to be hereby secured or
         any part thereof; to renew bills and promissory notes in any manner and
         to compound with or give time for payment; to accept compositions from
         and make any other arrangements with the Customer or any obligants on
         bills, notes or other securities held or to be held by the Lender for
         and on behalf of the Customer.

5.       This Guarantee shall be in addition to and shall not be in any way
         prejudiced or affected by any collateral or other security now or
         hereafter held by the Lender for all or any part of the money hereby
         guaranteed nor shall such collateral or other security or any lien to
         which the Lender may be otherwise entitled or the liability of any
         person or persons not parties hereto for all or any part of the monies
         hereby secured be in anywise prejudiced or affected by this present
         guarantee. And the Lender shall have full power at its discretion to
         give time for payment or to make any arrangement with any such other
         person(s) without prejudice to this present guarantee or any liability
         hereunder. And all money received by the Lender from the Guarantor or
         the Customer or any person or persons liable to pay the same may be
         applied by the Lender to any account or item of account or to any
         transaction to which the same may be applicable.

6.       The liability of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by any
         failure by the Lender to take any security or by any invalidity of any
         security taken or by any existing or future agreement by the Lender as
         to the application of any advances made or to be made to the Customer.

7.       Any admission or acknowledgment in writing by the Customer or by any
         person authorized by the Customer of the amount of indebtedness of the
         Customer to the Lender and any judgment recovered by the Lender against
         the Customer in respect of such indebtedness shall be binding and
         conclusive on and against the Guarantor. A certificate by an officer of
         the Lender as to the money and liabilities for the time being due or
         incurred to the Lender from or by the Customer shall be conclusive
         evidence against the Guarantor.

8.       Although the Guarantor's ultimate liability hereunder cannot exceed the
         limit hereinbefore mentioned (if any) yet this present guarantee shall
         be construed and take effect as a guarantee of the whole and every part
         of the principal money and interest owing and to become owing as
         aforesaid and accordingly the Guarantor is not to be entitled as
         against the Lender to any right of proof in the bankruptcy or
         insolvency of the Customer or other right of a surety discharging his
         liability in respect of the principal debt unless and until the whole
         of the principal money and interest shall have first been completely
         discharged and satisfied.

9.       The Guarantor hereby declares that he has not taken in respect of the
         liability hereby undertaken by him on behalf of the Customer and hereby
         agrees that he will not take from the Customer either directly or
         indirectly without the consent of the Lender any promissory note, bill
         of exchange,


<PAGE>   3



         mortgage, charge or other counter-security whether merely personal or
         involving a charge on any property whatsoever of the Customer whereby
         the Guarantor or any person claiming through him by indorsement,
         assignment or otherwise would or might on the bankruptcy or insolvency
         of the Customer and to the prejudice of the Lender increase the proofs
         in such bankruptcy or insolvency or diminish the property distributable
         amongst the creditors of the Customer. And as regards any such
         counter-security as aforesaid which the Guarantor may have taken or may
         take with such consent as aforesaid, the counter-security shall be a
         security to the Lender for the fulfillment of the Guarantor's
         obligations hereunder and shall be forthwith deposited by the Guarantor
         with the Lender for that purpose.

10.      If the name of the Customer hereinbefore inserted is that either of a
         firm or of a limited company or other corporation or of any committee
         or association or other unincorporated body any of the provisions
         hereinbefore contained which are primarily and literally applicable to
         the case of a single and individual customer only shall be construed
         and take effect so as to give the Lender hereunder a guarantee for the
         money owing from that firm and every member thereof or from that
         limited company or corporation or committee or association or other
         unincorporated body as identical or analogous as may be with or to that
         which would have been given for the money owing from a single
         individual if the Customer had been a single individual and any money
         shall be deemed to be so owing notwithstanding any defect, informality
         or insufficiency in the borrowing powers of the Customer or in the
         exercise thereof which might be a defense as between the Customer and
         the Lender. In the case of a firm, this guarantee shall be deemed to be
         a continuing guarantee of all money owing on any such account as
         hereinbefore mentioned from the person(s) carrying on business in the
         name of or in succession to the firm or from any one or more of such
         persons although by death, retirement or admission of partners or other
         causes the constitution of the firm may have been in part or wholly
         varied. In the case of a limited company or other corporation any
         reference to bankruptcy shall be deemed to be a reference to
         liquidation or other analogous proceeding and the money owing as
         aforesaid and hereby guaranteed shall be deemed to include any money
         owing in respect of debentures or debenture stock of the limited
         company or other corporation held by or on behalf of the Lender.

11.      The Guarantor agrees to be liable as a principal debtor for the payment
         of any moneys secured hereunder so that this Guarantee may be enforced
         against the Guarantor without the Lender's first instituting legal
         proceedings against the Customer in the first instance or to join in
         the Customer as a party in the same proceedings against the Guarantor.

12.      The security hereby created shall not be discharged or affected by the
         death, bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation of the Customer but shall
         continue to be operative until determined as to future transactions by
         notice in writing given to the Lender by the Guarantor pursuant to
         Clause 2 hereof.

13.      So long as any money remains owing hereunder, the Lender shall have a
         lien on any moneys standing to the credit of any accounts of the
         Guarantor with the Lender and on any securities now or at any time
         hereafter deposited with or otherwise placed in the hands of the Lender
         belonging to or under the control of the Guarantor. The Lender may
         also, without notice to the Guarantor, combine or consolidate all or
         any of the accounts of the Guarantor with any liabilities to the Lender
         and set-off or transfer any sum or sums in whatever currency standing
         to the credit of any one or more of such accounts in or towards
         satisfaction of any of the Guarantor's liabilities to the Lender on any
         other account or in any other respect whatsoever irrespective of
         whether such liabilities be incurred by the Guarantor singly or by the
         Guarantor jointly with others in partnership or otherwise or incurred
         by the Guarantor as principal or as surety of the Customer or of some
         other person, body, corporate or firm and irrespective of whether such
         liabilities be actual or contingent, primary or collateral and several
         or joint.

14.      If the Guarantor shall consist of more than one person, their
         liabilities to the Lender hereunder shall be deemed to be joint and
         several and the Lender may release or discharge any of them from his or
         their obligations hereunder or compound with or enter into any
         arrangement with any of them without thereby in any way affecting its
         rights hereunder against any other or others of them.

15.      Any notice or demand required to be given by the Lender shall be in
         writing and shall be deemed to have been properly given if addressed to
         the Guarantor at his last known address as recorded in the books of the
         Lender. Any notice or demand delivered personally shall be deemed to
         have been given at the time of delivery. Any notice or demand sent by
         letter, postage prepaid, shall be deemed to have been given 48 hours
         after posting. Any notice or demand sent by cable or telex shall be
         deemed to have been given at the time of dispatch.

16.      In this guarantee where the singular is used, it shall be taken to
         include the plural where applicable and where words importing the
         masculine gender are used, they shall where applicable include the
         feminine gender and the neuter gender.

17.      This guarantee and all rights, obligations and liabilities arising
         hereunder shall be construed and governed in all respects by and in
         accordance with the laws of Hong Kong.
