         For purposes of clauses (A), (B) and (C) above, the total purchase

prices in effect for such products and services as of March 12, 2002. For any
products or services not offered as of March 12, 2002 the purchase prices shall
be those negotiated and agreed to by the Parties.

         The foregoing payments shall not be subject to interest from the
Interest Commencement Date as was the amount provided for in Section
2.09(b)(ii)(D); provided, however, that if Buyer fails to pay any amounts
required to be paid hereunder by the dates required herein, such unpaid amounts
shall bear interest at the applicable rate in Section 2.09(b)(iv) of the Asset
Purchase Agreement plus 3% per annum. Interest shall be calculated on the basis
of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

         In addition to the above, Motorola agrees to commence the
qualification of substrates manufactured by ASE Materials' facility located in
Chung-Li, Taiwan. ASE acknowledges that Motorola has no obligation to qualify
any such substrates unless Motorola's qualification standards are met.

         This letter amendment shall not amend any other provisions of the
Asset Purchase Agreement.

signing below.

                     officers, employees, servants or agents, as the case may
                     be) may suffer or incur by reason of the Agent's executing

              Finance Document on its due date, interest shall accrue on the
              Unpaid Sum from the due date up to the date of actual payment
              (both before and after judgment) at a rate one per cent. (1%) per
              annum higher than the rate which would have been payable if the
              Unpaid Sum had, during the period of non-payment, constituted a
              Loan for successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected
              by the Agent (acting reasonably). Any interest accruing under
              this Clause 8.3 shall be immediately payable by the Borrower on
              demand by the Agent.

       8.3.2  The rate of default interest arising on an Unpaid Sum in relation
              to the SBLC Facility shall be determined in accordance with
              Clause 11.6 (SBLC Default Interest).

       8.3.3  The default rate will be determined by the Agent on the first day
              of such period selected by the Agent (acting reasonably) as the
              Interest Period for such Unpaid Sum.

       8.3.4  Default interest (if unpaid) arising on an Unpaid Sum will be
              compounded with such Unpaid Sum at the end of each Interest
              Period applicable to such Unpaid Sum but will remain immediately
              due and payable.

8.4    Notification of rates of interest

       The Agent shall promptly (and in any event before 5:00 p.m. (Hong Kong
       time) on the date of determination) notify the Lenders and the Borrower
       of the determination of a rate of interest under this Agreement.

                                                                             21

9.     INTEREST PERIODS

9.1    Selection of Interest Periods

       9.1.1  The Borrower may select an Interest Period for a Loan in the
              Drawdown Request for that Loan or (if the Loan has already been
              borrowed) by written notice to the Agent whether in the form of a
              Rollover Notice or otherwise.

       9.1.2  Each written notice to select an Interest Period given by the
              Borrower (other than in the Drawdown Request) for a Loan is
              irrevocable and must be delivered to the Agent by the Borrower
              not later than two (2) Business Days before the commencement of
              that Interest Period.

       9.1.3  If the Borrower does not deliver a written notice to the Agent in
              accordance with paragraph 9.1.2 above, the relevant Interest
              Period will be the same length as the previous Interest Period.

       9.1.4  Subject to this Clause 9, the Borrower may select an Interest
              Period of one (1), two (2), three (3) or, six (6) Months or any
              other period agreed between the Borrower and the Agent (acting on
              the instructions of all the Lenders).

       9.1.5  An Interest Period for a Loan shall not extend beyond the
              Repayment Date. If an Interest Period would otherwise overrun the
              Repayment Date, it shall be shortened so that it ends on the
              Repayment Date.

       9.1.6  Each Interest Period for a Loan shall start on the Drawdown Date
              or (if already made) on the last day of its preceding Interest
              Period.

9.2    Non-Business Days

       If an Interest Period would otherwise end on a day which is not a
       Business Day, that Interest Period will instead end on the next Business
       Day in that calendar month (if there is one) or the preceding Business
       Day (if there is not).

9.3    Consolidation of Loans

       Notwithstanding Clause 9.1 (Selection of Interest Periods), the first
       Interest Period for each Loan shall end on the same day as the current
       Interest Period for any other Loan. On the last day of those Interest
       Periods, those Loans shall be consolidated and treated as one single
       Loan.

10.    RIGHT OF SBLC LENDERS

10.1   Indemnity

       The Borrower agrees to indemnify each SBLC Lender, forthwith on first
       demand, against any and all sums paid out by such SBLC Lender under or

       purpose will make payments to such SBLC Lender in accordance with the
       provisions of this Agreement.

                                                                             22

              Beneficiary was not entitled for whatever reason to demand
              payment under such SBLC or that such demand was not valid or
              genuine;

       10.2.3 the SBLC Lenders deal in documents only and shall not be

              limitation:

              (A)    any time or waiver granted to or composition with any SBLC
                     Lender, the Beneficiary or any other person whatsoever; or

                     or refusal or neglect to perfect or enforce any rights,
                     remedies or securities available to the SBLC Lender
                     concerned, the Beneficiary or any other person or arising
                     under any SBLC; or

              (C)    any variation of the SBLCs so that references in this
                     Agreement to any SBLC shall include any such variation in
                     that SBLC.

10.3   Continuing Indemnity

       The indemnity contained in Clause 10.1 (Indemnity) above shall be a
       continuing indemnity, shall extend to the ultimate balance of the
       liabilities under any of the SBLCs and shall continue in force
       notwithstanding any intermediate payment in whole or in part of any
       liability under any SBLC.

       Lender under or in respect of any SBLC shall be conclusive evidence of
       the matters so certified, in the absence of manifest error.

10.5   No invalidity

       No invalidity or unenforceability of all or any part of this Clause 10
       or of any other term of this Agreement shall affect any rights of

              (B)    in part only, the Beneficiary shall confirm in writing to
                     the Agent on behalf of the SBLC Lenders that the Principal
                     Amount of the SBLC issued to the Beneficiary is reduced by
                     the proportion of the amount prepaid which the SBLC issued

                                                                             24
<PAGE>

              SBLC Lender) on the date of such reduction or cancellation
              unless:

              (A)    the Borrower gives the Agent not less than six (6) Months
                     prior written notice to cancel or reduce the whole or any
                     part of any SBLC; and

              (B)    the prepayment of the RMB Facility shall be made solely
                     from funds from the Charged Account,

              provided that no prepayment fee shall be payable under this

              maintain the FX Cushion and/or the Loan to Value Ratio pursuant
              to the terms of this Agreement.

       11.3.3 The SBLC Facility (and SBLCs issued under it) shall be reduced in
              accordance with Schedule 7 provided that the reductions shall at
              all times reflect the amortisation schedule of the RMB Facility

              SBLCs referred to in Clause 5.9 (Uncommitted Facility)) may be
              reduced from time to time (with the consent of the Agent and the
              Beneficiary (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
              delayed)) in order to reduce the value of the issued SBLCs to
              maintain the FX Cushion. Any additional collateral provided to
              the Lenders or any of them pursuant to Clause 5.9 (Uncommitted
              Facility) shall be released upon the reduction of the related
              SBLC in respect of which such collateral was given. Any portion
              of the SBLC Facility and such SBLCs reduced in accordance with
              this Clause may thereafter from time to time either (i) be
              increased by an aggregate amount not exceeding the aggregate
              amount of such reduction(s) if required to maintain the FX
              Cushion provided that any such increase in the SBLC Facility
              shall not be more than the FX Cushion or (ii) be reduced or
              cancelled in accordance with Clause 11.3.1 but without payment of
              any prepayment fee under Clause 11.3.2. The Agent shall make such
              amendments to the SBLCs as may be required from time to time in
              accordance with Clause 5.8 (Requests for Amendments to SBLC) (or
              issue new SBLCs and amend the existing SBLCs) to give effect to
              this Clause.

       11.3.5 Any reduction or increase in the amount of the SBLC Facility
              under Clause 11.3.4 shall only be permitted if the Loan to Value
              Ratio is not breached.

11.4   Cancellation of SBLCs

       After its Expiry Date, the Agent shall, on behalf of the SBLC Lenders,
       promptly confirm to the Beneficiary and the Borrower that the SBLC
       concerned has been cancelled.

                                                                             25

              that the period in which each SBLC Issuance Fee relates to shall
              commence on the relevant SBLC Issuance Fee Payment Date and end
              on the day immediately preceding the following SBLC Issuance Fee
              Payment Date.

       11.5.2 The amount of each SBLC Issuance Fee shall be determined with
              reference to scheduled reductions in the amount of the SBLC
              Facility and shall be adjusted at the end of each such period to
              reflect the actual daily outstanding amount during such period.

       11.5.3 If the SBLC Lenders are required to make any refunds to the
              Borrower as a result of such adjustments under Clause 11.5.2 then

       the rate per annum determined by the Agent to be the aggregate of

       11.6.1 two point four five per cent (2.45%); and

12.    CHANGES TO THE CALCULATION OF INTEREST

12.1   Market disruption

       12.1.1 If a Market Disruption Event occurs in relation to a Loan for any
              Interest Period, then the rate of interest on each Term Loan
              Lender's share of that Loan for the Interest Period shall be the
              rate per annum which is the sum of:

              (A)    the Margin; and

              (B)    the rate notified to the Agent by that Term Loan Lender as
                     soon as practicable and in any event before interest is
                     due to be paid in respect of that Interest Period, to be
                     that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the
                     cost to that Term Loan Lender of funding its

                                                                             26
<PAGE>

                     participation in that Loan from whatever source it may
                     reasonably select.

       12.1.2 In this Agreement "Market Disruption Event" means:

              (A)    at or about 12:00 noon (Hong Kong time) on the relevant
                     Quotation Date HIBOR is not available and the Agent is
                     unable to determine HIBOR for the relevant Interest
                     Period; or

              (B)    before close of business in Hong Kong on the Quotation Day
                     for the relevant Interest Period, the Agent receives
                     notifications from a Term Loan Lender or Term Loan Lenders
                     (whose participations in a Loan exceed 50 per cent. of
                     that Loan) that the cost to it or them of obtaining
                     matching deposits in the Hong Kong Interbank Market would
                     be in excess of HIBOR for the relevant Interest Period.

12.2   Alternative basis of interest or funding

       12.2.1 If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Agent or the Borrower
              so requires, the Agent and the Borrower shall enter into
              negotiations (for a period of not more than thirty (30) days)
              with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the
              rate of interest.

       12.2.2 Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to paragraph 12.2.1 above
              shall, with the prior consent of all the Term Loan Lenders and
              the Borrower, be binding on all Parties.

       Lender) a non-refundable fee calculated as follows:

                         ADDITIONAL PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS

14.    TAX GROSS-UP AND INDEMNITIES

14.1   Definitions

       14.1.1 In this Clause 14:

              "Protected Party" means a Finance Party which is or will be, for
              or on account of Tax, subject to any liability or required to
              make any payment in relation to a sum received or receivable (or
              any sum deemed for the purposes of Tax to be received or
              receivable) under a Finance Document.

              "Tax Credit" means a credit against, relief or remission for, or
              repayment of any Tax.

              "Tax Deduction" means a deduction or withholding for or on
              account of Tax from a payment under a Finance Document.

              "Tax Payment" means an increased payment made by the Borrower to
              a Finance Party under Clause 14.2 (Tax gross- up) or a payment
              under Clause 14.3 (Tax indemnity).

       14.1.2 In this Clause 14 a reference to "determines" or "determined"
              means a determination made in the absolute discretion of the
              person making the determination (acting reasonably).

14.2   Tax gross-up

       14.2.1 The Borrower shall make all payments to be made by it under this
              Agreement without any Tax Deduction, unless a Tax Deduction is
              required by law.

       14.2.2 The Borrower or a Lender shall promptly upon becoming aware that
              the Borrower must make a Tax Deduction (or that there is any
              change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction) notify the
              Agent accordingly. If the Agent receives such notification from a
              Lender it shall notify the Borrower.

       14.2.3 If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by the Borrower
              the amount of the payment due from the Borrower shall be
              increased to an amount which (after making any Tax Deduction)
              leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due
              if no Tax Deduction had been required.

       14.2.4 If the Borrower is required by law to make a Tax Deduction, the
              Borrower shall make that Tax Deduction and any payment required
              in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed and
              in the minimum amount required by law.

       14.2.5 Within thirty (30) days of making either a Tax Deduction or any
              payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction, the
              Borrower shall deliver to the Agent for the Finance Party
              entitled to the payment evidence reasonably satisfactory to that
              Finance Party that the Tax Deduction has been made or (as
              applicable) any appropriate payment paid to the relevant taxing
              authority.

                                                                             29

14.3   Tax indemnity

       14.3.1 The Borrower shall (within three (3) Business Days of demand by
              the Agent) pay to a Protected Party an amount equal to the loss,
              liability or cost which that Protected Party determines will be
              or has been (directly or indirectly) suffered for or on account
              of Tax by that Protected Party.

       14.3.2 Clause 14.3.1 above shall not apply with respect to any Tax
              assessed on a Finance Party:

              (A)    under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Finance
                     Party is incorporated or, if different, the jurisdiction
                     (or jurisdictions) in which that Finance Party is treated
                     as resident for tax purposes; or

              (B)    under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Finance
                     Party's Facility Office is located in respect of amounts
                     received or receivable in that jurisdiction,

              if that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net
              income received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be
              received or receivable) by that Finance Party.

       14.3.3 A Protected Party making, or intending to make a claim pursuant
              to Clause 14.3.1 above shall promptly notify the Agent of the
              event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim, following
              which the Agent shall notify the Borrower.

       14.3.4 A Protected Party shall, on receiving a payment from the Borrower
              under this Clause 14.3 notify the Agent.

14.4   Tax Credit

       If the Borrower makes a Tax Payment and the relevant Finance Party
       determines, in its sole discretion, that:

       14.4.1 a Tax Credit is attributable to that Tax Payment; and

       14.4.2 that Finance Party has obtained, utilised and retained that Tax
              Credit,

       the Finance Party shall make a reasonable endeavour and to the extent
       that it can do so without prejudice to the retention of such Tax Credit
       pay an amount to the Borrower which that Finance Party determines, in
       its sole discretion, will leave it (after that payment) in the same
       after-Tax position as it would have been in had the Tax Payment not been
       made by the Borrower.

15.    INCREASED COSTS

15.1   Increased costs

       15.1.1 Subject to Clause 15.3 (Exceptions) the Borrower shall, within
              three (3) Business Days of a demand by the Agent, pay for the

              defined in Clause 15.1.2) incurred by that Finance Party or any
              of its Affiliates as a result of any change in law or in its
              interpretation or administration and/or compliance with any
              request from

                                                                             30

              monetary or other authority (with the requests or requirements of
              which the relevant Finance Party is accustomed to comply, whether
              or not such requests or requirements have the force of law) or
              any change thereto in each case occurring after the Agreement
              Date.

       15.1.2 In this Agreement "Increased Costs" means:

              (A)    a reduction in the rate of return from the Facility or on
                     a Finance Party's (or its Affiliate's) overall capital;

              (B)    an additional or increased cost; or

              (C)    a reduction of any amount due and payable under any
                     Finance Document,

              which is incurred or suffered by a Finance Party or any of its
              Affiliates to the extent that it is attributable to that Finance
              Party having entered into the Finance Documents or funding or
              performing its obligations under any Finance Document.

15.2   Increased cost claims

       15.2.1 A Finance Party intending to make a claim pursuant to Clause 15.1
              (Increased costs) shall notify the Agent of the event giving rise
              to the claim, following which the Agent shall promptly notify the
              Borrower.

       15.2.2 Each Finance Party shall, as soon as practicable after a demand
              by the Agent, provide a certificate confirming the amount of its
              Increased Costs.

              Tax from payment under a Finance Document;

       15.3.2 compensated for by Clause 14.3 (Tax indemnity); or

       17.2.2 A Finance Party is not obliged to take any steps under Clause

                                   GUARANTEE

20.    GUARANTEE AND INDEMNITY

20.1   Guarantee and indemnity

       The Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally:

       20.1.1 guarantees to each Finance Party punctual performance by the
              Borrower of all the Borrower's obligations under the Finance
              Documents;

       20.1.2 undertakes with each Finance Party that whenever the Borrower
              does not pay any amount when due under or in connection with any
              Finance Document, the Guarantor shall immediately on demand pay
              that amount as if it was the principal obligor; and

       20.1.3 indemnifies each Finance Party immediately on demand against any
              cost, loss or liability suffered by that Finance Party if any
              obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid
              or illegal. The amount of the cost, loss or liability shall be
              equal to the amount which that Finance Party would otherwise have
              been entitled to recover.

20.2   Continuing guarantee

       This guarantee is a continuing guarantee and will extend to the ultimate
       balance of sums payable by the Borrower under the Finance Documents,
       regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part.

20.3   Reinstatement

       If any payment by the Borrower or any discharge given by a Finance Party
       (whether in respect of the obligations of the Borrower or any security
       for those obligations or otherwise) is avoided or reduced as a result of
       insolvency or any similar event:

       20.3.1 the liability of the Guarantor shall continue as if the payment,
              discharge, avoidance or reduction had not occurred; and

       20.3.2 each Finance Party shall be entitled to recover the value or
              amount of that security or payment from the Guarantor, as if the
              payment, discharge, avoidance or reduction had not occurred.

20.4   Waiver of defences

       The obligations of the Guarantor under this Clause 20 will not be
       affected by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this
       Clause, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under
       this Clause 20 (without limitation and whether or not known to it or any
       Finance Party including:

       20.4.1 any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, the
              Borrower or other person;

       20.4.2 the release of the Borrower or any other person under the terms
              of any composition or arrangement with any creditor of any member
              of the Group;

                                                                             34
<PAGE>

       20.4.3 the taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release
              of, or refusal or neglect to perfect, take up or enforce, any
              rights against, or security over assets of, the Borrower or other
              person or any non-presentation or non-observance of any formality
              or other requirement in respect of any instrument or any failure
              to realise the full value of any security;

       20.4.4 any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality
              of or dissolution or change in the members or status of the
              Borrower or any other person;

       20.4.5 any amendment (however fundamental) or replacement of a Finance
              Document or any other document or security;

       20.4.6 any unenforceability, illegality or invalidity of any obligation
              of any person under any Finance Document or any other document or
              security; or

       20.4.7 any insolvency or similar proceedings.

20.5   Immediate recourse

       The Guarantor waives any right it may have of first requiring any
       Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against
       or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any person
       before claiming from the Guarantor under this Clause 20. This waiver
       applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Finance Document
       to the contrary.

       Majority Lenders (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

                                                                             43

       An Obligor does not pay on the due date any amount payable pursuant to a
       Finance Document at the place at and in the currency in which it is
       expressed to be payable unless:

       24.1.1 its failure to pay is caused by administrative or technical

24.3   Other obligations

       24.3.1 An Obligor does not comply with any provision of the Finance
              Documents (other than those referred to in Clause 24.1
              (Non-payment) and Clause 24.2 (Specific Undertakings)).

       24.3.2 No Event of Default shall occur under Clause 24.3.1 above unless
              the circumstances underlying such Event of Default are:

              (A)    not (in the reasonable opinion of the Agent) capable of
                     being remedied; or

              (B)    not remedied within 20 Business Days of the Agent giving
                     written notice to the relevant Obligor requiring it to
                     remedy (or, If earlier, within 20 Business Days of the

                     breach).

                                                                             44

       in the Finance Documents or any other document delivered by or on behalf

       Agent's reasonable opinion capable of remedy) are remedied within 20
       Business Days of the Agent giving written notice to the relevant Obligor
       requiring it to remedy or, if earlier, within 20 Business Days of the
       date on which such Obligor became aware of such breach, and its effect
       is such as to be reasonably likely (in the reasonable opinion of the

              to its specified maturity as a result of an event of default
              (however described)

       provided that (i) it shall not constitute an Event of Default under
       Clauses 24.5.1 to 24.5.4 in the case of any member of the Group (if, the
       aggregate amount of all such Financial Indebtedness in relation to such

                               CHANGES TO PARTIES

25.    CHANGES TO THE LENDERS

25.1   Assignments and transfers by the Lenders

       Subject to this Clause 25, a Lender (the "Existing Lender") may:

       25.1.1 assign any of its rights under HKD Finance Documents; or

       25.1.2 transfer by novation any of its rights and obligations under HKD
              Finance Documents,

       to any other bank or financial institution (the "New Lender").

25.2   Conditions of assignment or transfer

       25.2.1 The consent of the Borrower is required for an assignment or
              transfer by a Lender, unless the assignment or transfer is to
              another bank or financial institution or an Affiliate of a
              Lender.

       25.2.2 The consent of the Borrower to an assignment or transfer must not
              be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Borrower will be deemed
              to have given its consent five (5) Business Days after the Lender
              has requested it unless consent is expressly refused by the
              Borrower within that time.

       25.2.3 An assignment will only be effective on receipt by the Agent of
              written confirmation from the New Lender (in form and substance
              satisfactory to the Agent) that the New Lender will assume the
              same obligations to the other Parties as it would have been under
              if it was an Original Lender.

       25.2.4 A transfer will only be effective if the procedure set out in
              Clause 25.5 (Procedure for transfer) is complied with.

       25.2.5 If:

              (A)    a Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights or
                     obligations under the Finance Documents or any of them or
                     changes its Facility Office; and

              (B)    as a result of circumstances existing at the date the
                     assignment or transfer, the Borrower would be obliged to
                     make a payment to the New Lender or Lender acting through
                     its new Facility Office under Clause 14 (Tax gross-up and
                     indemnities) or Clause 15.1 (Increased costs),

              then the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility
              Office is only entitled to receive payment under those Clauses to
              the same extent as the Existing Lender or Lender acting through
              its previous Facility Office would have been if the assignment,
              transfer or change had not occurred.

25.3   Assignment or transfer fee

       The New Lender shall, on the date upon which an assignment or transfer
       takes effect, pay to the Agent (for its own account) a fee of US$500.

                                                                             48
<PAGE>

25.4   Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lenders

       25.4.1 Unless expressly agreed to the contrary, an Existing Lender makes
              no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility to a
              New Lender for:

              (A)    the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or
                     enforceability of the Finance Documents or any other
                     documents;

              (B)    the financial condition of any Obligor;

              (C)    the performance and observance by any Obligor of its
                     obligations under the Finance Documents or any other
                     documents; or

              (D)    the accuracy of any statements (whether written or oral)
                     made in or in connection with any Finance Document or any
                     other document,

              and any representations or warranties implied by law are
              excluded.

       25.4.2 Each New Lender confirms to the Existing Lender and the other
              Finance Parties that it:

              (A)    has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent
                     investigation and assessment of the financial condition
                     and affairs of each Obligor and its related entities in
                     connection with its participation in this Agreement and
                     has not relied exclusively on any information provided to
                     it by the Existing Lender in connection with any Finance
                     Document; and

              (B)    will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the
                     creditworthiness of each Obligor and its related entities
                     whilst any amount is or may be outstanding under the
                     Finance Documents or any Commitment is in force.

       25.4.3 Nothing in any Finance Document obliges an Existing Lender to:

              (A)    accept a re-transfer from a New Lender of any of the
                     rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this
                     Clause 25; or

              (B)    support any losses directly or indirectly incurred by the
                     New Lender by reason of the non-performance by any Obligor
                     of its obligations under the Finance Documents or
                     otherwise.

25.5   Procedure for transfer

       25.5.1 Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 25.2 (Conditions of
              assignment or transfer) a transfer is effected in accordance with
              paragraph 25.5.2 below when the Agent executes an otherwise duly
              completed Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing
              Lender and the New Lender. The Agent shall, as soon as reasonably
              practicable after receipt by it of a duly completed Transfer
              Certificate appearing on its face to comply with the terms of
              this Agreement and delivered in accordance with the terms of this
              Agreement, execute that Transfer Certificate and deliver a copy
              of that Transfer Certificate to the Borrower.

                                                                             49
<PAGE>

       25.5.2 On the Transfer Date:

              (A)    to the extent that in the Transfer Certificate the
                     Existing Lender seeks to transfer by novation its rights
                     and obligations under the Finance Documents each of the
                     Obligors and the Existing Lender shall be released from
                     further obligations towards one another under the Finance
                     Documents and their respective rights against one another
                     shall be cancelled (being the "Discharged Rights and
                     Obligations");

              (B)    each of the Obligors and the New Lender shall assume
                     obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights
                     against one another which differ from the Discharged
                     Rights and Obligations only insofar as that Obligor and
                     the New Lender have assumed and/or acquired the same in
                     place of that Obligor and the Existing Lender;

              (C)    the Agent, the Co-ordinating Arranger, the New Lender and
                     other Lenders shall acquire the same rights and assume the
                     same obligations between themselves as they would have
                     acquired and assumed had the New Lender been an Original
                     Lender with the rights and/or obligations acquired or
                     assumed by it as a result of the transfer and to that
                     extent the Agent, the Co-ordinating Arranger and the
                     Existing Lender shall each be released from further
                     obligations to each other under this Agreement; and

              (D)    the New Lender shall become a Party as a "Lender".

25.6   Disclosure of information

       and the Finance Documents to any other person other than any of its
       Affiliates and their respective legal or other advisers or any person:

27.6   Rights and discretions of the Agent

       27.6.1 The Agent may rely on:

              (A)    any representation, notice or document believed by it to
                     be genuine, correct and appropriately authorised; and

              (B)    any statement made by a director, authorised signatory or
                     employee of any person regarding any matters which may
                     reasonably be assumed to be within his knowledge or within
                     his power to verify.

       27.6.2 The Agent may assume (unless it has received notice to the
              contrary in its capacity as agent for the Lenders) that:

              (A)    no Default has occurred (unless it has actual knowledge of
                     a Default arising under Clause 24.1 (Non-payment));

              (B)    any right, power, authority or discretion vested in any
                     Party or the Majority Lenders has not been exercised.

       27.7.1 Unless a contrary indication appears in a Finance Document, the
              Agent shall:

              (A)    act in accordance with any instructions given to it by the
                     Majority Lenders or, if so instructed by the Majority
                     Lenders, refrain from acting or exercising any right,
                     power, authority or discretion vested in it as Agent; and

              (B)    not be liable for any act (or omission) if it acts (or
                     refrains from taking any action) in accordance with such
                     an instruction of the Majority Lenders.

       27.7.2 Unless a contrary indication appears in a Finance Document, any
              instructions given by the Majority Lenders will be binding on all
              the Lenders and the Co-ordinating Arranger.

       27.7.3 The Agent may refrain from acting in accordance with the
              instructions of the Majority Lenders (or, if appropriate, the
              Lenders) until it has received such security as it may require
              for any cost, loss or liability (together with any associated
              services tax) which it may incur in complying with the
              instructions.

       27.7.4 In the absence of instructions from the Majority Lenders, (or, if
              appropriate, the Lenders) the Agent may act (or refrain from
              taking action) as it considers to be in the best interest of the
              Lenders.

                                                                             53

       27.7.5 The Agent is not authorised to act on behalf of a Lender (without
              first obtaining that Lender's consent) in any legal or
              arbitration proceedings relating to any Finance Document.

27.8   Responsibility for documentation

       Neither the Agent nor the Co-ordinating Arranger:

       27.8.1 is responsible for the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of
              any information (whether oral or written) supplied by the Agent,
              the Co-ordinating Arranger, an Obligor or any other person given
              in or in connection with any Finance Document; or

       27.8.2 is responsible for the legality, validity, effectiveness,
              adequacy or enforceability of any Finance Document or any other
              agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed
              in anticipation of or in connection with any Finance Document.

27.9   Exclusion of liability

       27.9.1 Without limiting paragraph 27.9.2 below, the Agent will not be
              liable for any action taken by it under or in connection with any
              Finance Document, unless directly caused by its gross negligence
              or willful misconduct.

       27.9.2 No Party may take any proceedings against any officer, employee
              or agent of the Agent in respect of any claim it might have
              against the Agent or in respect of any act or omission of any
              kind by that officer, employee or agent in relation to any
              Finance Document and any officer, employee or agent of the Agent
              may rely on this Clause.

       27.9.3 The Agent will not be liable for any delay (or any related
              consequences) in crediting an account with an amount required
              under the Finance Documents to be paid by the Agent if the Agent
              has taken all necessary steps as soon as reasonably practicable
              to comply with the regulations or operating procedures of any
              recognised clearing or settlement system used by the Agent for
              that purpose.

27.10  Lenders' indemnity to the Agent

       Each Lender shall (in proportion to its share of the Total Commitments
       or, if the Total Commitments are then zero, to its share of the Total
       Commitments immediately prior to their reduction to zero) indemnify the
       Agent, within three (3) Business Days of demand, against any cost, loss
       or liability incurred by the Agent (otherwise than by reason of the
       Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct) in acting reasonably as
       Agent under the Finance Documents (unless the Agent has been fully
       reimbursed by an Obligor pursuant to a Finance Document).

27.11  Resignation of the Agent

       27.11.1  Subject to the prior written notice given by the Agent to the
                Borrower, the Agent may resign and appoint one of its
                Affiliates acting through an office in Hong Kong as successor
                by giving notice to the Lenders and the Obligors.

                                                                             54
<PAGE>

        27.11.2 Alternatively the Agent may resign by giving notice to the
                Lenders and the Obligors, in which case the Majority Lenders
                (after obtaining the prior written approval of the Borrower
                (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)) may appoint a
                successor Agent.

        27.11.3 If the Majority Lenders have not appointed a successor Agent in
                accordance with paragraph 27.11.2 above within thirty (30) days
                after notice of resignation was given, the Agent may appoint a
                successor Agent (acting through an office in Hong Kong) which
                shall be a reputable financial institution.

        27.11.4 The retiring Agent shall, at its own cost, make available to
                the successor Agent such documents and records and provide such
                assistance as the successor Agent may reasonably request for
                the purposes of performing its functions as Agent under the
                Finance Documents.

        27.11.5 The Agent's resignation notice shall only take effect upon the
                appointment of a successor.

        27.11.6 Upon the appointment of a successor, the retiring Agent shall
                be discharged from any further obligation in respect of the
                Finance Documents but shall remain entitled to the benefit of
                this Clause 27. Its successor and each of the other Parties
                shall have the same rights and obligations amongst themselves
                as they would have had if such successor had been an original
                Party.

27.12   Confidentiality

        27.12.1 In acting as agent for the Finance Parties, the Agent shall be
                regarded as acting through its agency division which shall be
                treated as a separate entity from any other of its divisions or
                departments.

        27.12.2 If information is received by another division or department of
                the Agent, it may be treated as confidential to that division
                or department and the Agent shall not be deemed to have notice
                of it.

        27.12.3 Notwithstanding any other provision of any Finance Document to
                the contrary, neither the Agent nor the Co-ordinating Arranger
                are obliged to disclose to any other person (i) any
                confidential information or (ii) any other information if the
                disclosure would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute
                a breach of any law or a breach of a fiduciary duty.

27.13   Relationship with the Lenders

        The Agent may treat each Lender as a Lender, entitled to payments under
        this Agreement and acting through its Facility Office unless it has
        received not less than five Business Days prior notice from that Lender
        to the contrary in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

27.14   Credit appraisal by the Lenders

        Without affecting the responsibility of any Obligor for information
        supplied by it or on its behalf in connection with any Finance
        Document, each Lender confirms to the Agent and the Co-ordinating
        Arranger that it has been, and will continue to be, solely

                                                                             55
<PAGE>

        responsible for making its own independent appraisal and investigation
        of all risks arising under or in connection with any Finance Document
        including but not limited to:

        27.14.1 the financial condition, status and nature of each member of
                the Group;

        27.14.2 the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or
                enforceability of any Finance Document and any other agreement,
                arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in
                anticipation of, under or in connection with any Finance
                Document;

        27.14.3 whether that Lender has recourse, and the nature and extent of
                that recourse, against any Party or any of its respective assets
                under or in connection with any Finance Document, the
                transactions contemplated by the Finance Documents or any other
                agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or
                executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any
                Finance Document; and

        27.14.4 the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of any information
                provided by the Agent, any Party or by any other person under
                or in connection with any Finance Document, the transactions
                contemplated by the Finance Documents or any other agreement,
                arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in
                anticipation of, under or in connection with any Finance
                Document.

28.     CONDUCT OF BUSINESS BY THE FINANCE PARTIES

        No provision of this Agreement will:

        28.1.1  interfere with the right of any Finance Party to arrange its
                affairs (tax or otherwise) in whatever manner it thinks fit;

        28.1.2  oblige any Finance Party to investigate or claim any credit,
                relief, remission or repayment available to it or the extent,
                order and manner of any claim; or

        28.1.3  oblige any Finance Party to disclose any information relating
                to its affairs (tax or otherwise) or any computations in
                respect of Tax.

29.     SHARING AMONG THE LENDERS

29.1    Payments to Lenders

        If a Lender (a "Recovering Lender") receives or recovers any amount
        from an Obligor other than in accordance with Clause 30 (Payment
        mechanics) and applies that amount to a payment due under the Finance
        Documents then:

        29.1.1  the Recovering Lender shall, within three Business Days, notify
                details of the receipt or recovery, to the Agent;

        29.1.2  the Agent shall determine whether the receipt or recovery is in
                excess of the amount the Recovering Lender would have been paid
                had the receipt or recovery been received or made by the Agent
                and distributed in accordance with Clause 30 (Payment
                mechanics), without taking account of any Tax

                                                                             56
<PAGE>

                which would be imposed on the Agent in relation to the receipt,
                recovery or distribution; and

        29.1.3  the Recovering Lender shall, within three (3) Business Days of
                demand by the Agent, pay to the Agent an amount (the "Sharing
                Payment") equal to such receipt or recovery less any amount
                which the Agent determines may be retained by the Recovering
                Lender as its share of any payment to be made, in accordance
                with Clause 30.5 (Partial payments).

29.2    Redistribution of payments

        The Agent shall treat the Sharing Payment as if it had been paid by the
        relevant Obligor and distribute it between the Finance Parties (other
        than the Recovering Lender) in accordance with Clause 30.5 (Partial
        payments).

29.3    Recovering Lender's rights

        29.3.1  On a distribution by the Agent under Clause 29.2
                (Redistribution of payments), the Recovering Lender will be
                subrogated to the rights of the Finance Parties which have
                shared in the redistribution.

        29.3.2  If and to the extent that the Recovering Lender is not able to
                rely on its rights under paragraph 29.3.1 above, the relevant
                Obligor shall be liable to the Recovering Lender for a debt
                equal to the Sharing Payment which is immediately due and
                payable.

29.4    Reversal of redistribution

        If any part of the Sharing Payment received or recovered by a
        Recovering Lender becomes repayable and is repaid by that Recovering
        Lender, then:

        29.4.1  each Lender which has received a share of the relevant Sharing
                Payment pursuant to Clause 29.2 (Redistribution of payments)
                shall, upon request of the Agent, pay to the Agent for account
                of that Recovering Lender an amount equal to its share of the
                Sharing Payment (together with an amount as is necessary to
                reimburse that Recovering Lender for its proportion of any
                interest on the Sharing Payment which that Recovering Lender is
                required to pay); and

        29.4.2  that Recovering Lender's rights of subrogation in respect of
                any reimbursement shall be cancelled and the relevant Obligor
                will be liable to the reimbursing Lender for the amount so
                reimbursed.

29.5    Exceptions

        29.5.1  This Clause 29 shall not apply to the extent that the
                Recovering Lender would not, after making any payment pursuant
                to this Clause, have a valid and enforceable claim against the
                relevant Obligor.

        29.5.2  A Recovering Lender is not obliged to share with any other
                Lender any amount which the Recovering Lender has received or
                recovered as a result of taking legal or arbitration
                proceedings, if:

                (A)     it notified the other Lenders of the legal or
                        arbitration proceedings; and

                                                                             57
<PAGE>

                (B)     the other Lender had an opportunity to participate in
                        those legal or arbitration proceedings but did not do
                        so as soon as reasonably practicable having received
                        notice or did not take separate legal or arbitration
                        proceedings.

                                                                             58

                shall make the same available to the Agent (unless a contrary
                indication appears in a Finance Document) for value on the due
                date at the time and in such funds specified by the Agent as
                being customary at the time for settlement of transactions in

        another Party shall, subject to Clause 30.3 (Distributions to the
        Obligor) and Clause 30.4 (Clawback) be made available by the Agent as
        soon as practicable after receipt to the Party entitled to receive
        payment in accordance with this Agreement (in the case of a Lender, for
        the account of its Facility Office), to such account as that Party may
        notify to the Agent by not less than five Business Days' notice with a
        bank in the principal financial centre of the country of that currency.

30.3    Distributions to an Obligor

        The Agent may (with the consent of the Obligor or in accordance with
        Clause 31 (Set-off)) apply any amount received by it for that Obligor
        in or towards payment (on the date and in the currency and funds of
        receipt) of any amount due from that Obligor under the Finance
        Documents or in or towards purchase of any amount of any currency to be
        so applied.

30.4    Clawback

        30.4.1  Where a sum is to be paid to the Agent under the Finance
                Documents for another Party, the Agent is not obliged to pay
                that sum to that other Party until it has been able to
                establish to its satisfaction that it has actually received
                that sum.

        30.4.2  If the Agent pays an amount to another Party and it proves to
                be the case that the Agent had not actually received that
                amount, then the Party to whom that amount was paid by the
                Agent shall on demand refund the same to the Agent together
                with interest on that amount from the date of payment to the
                date of receipt by the Agent, calculated by the Agent to
                reflect its cost of funds.

                                                                             59

                discharge all the amounts then due and payable by an Obligor
                under the Finance Documents, the Agent shall apply that payment
                towards the obligations of that Obligor under the Finance
                Documents in the following order:

                (A)     first, in or towards payment pro rata of any unpaid

                        Documents;

                (B)     secondly, in or towards payment of any unpaid fees of

        30.5.3  Paragraphs 30.5.1 and 30.5.2 above will override any

        30.8.1  Subject to paragraphs 30.8.2 to 30.8.3 below, HK Dollars is the

                Dollars shall be paid in that other currency.

31.     SET-OFF

        A Finance Party may set off any matured obligation due from an Obligor
        under the Finance Documents (to the extent beneficially owned by that
        Finance Party) against any matured obligation owed by that Finance
        Party to that Obligor, regardless of the place of payment, booking
        branch or currency of either obligation. If the obligations are in
        different currencies, the Finance Party may convert either obligation
        at a market rate of exchange in its usual course of business for the
        purpose of the set-off. The Finance Party shall notify the Agent and
        the Borrower forthwith upon the exercise or purported exercise of any
        right of set-off giving full details in relation thereto and the Agent
        shall inform the other Lenders.

                        official document.

33.     CALCULATIONS AND CERTIFICATES

33.1    Accounts

        In any litigation or arbitration proceedings arising out of or in
        connection with a Finance Document, the entries made in the accounts
        maintained by a Finance Party are prima facie evidence of the matters
        to which they relate.

33.2    Certificates and Determinations

        Any certification or determination by a Finance Party of a rate or
        amount under any Finance Document is, in the absence of manifest error,
        conclusive evidence of the matters to which it relates.

                                                                             62

34.     PARTIAL INVALIDITY

        If, at any time, any provision of the Finance Documents is or becomes
        illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under any law of any
        jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the
        remaining provisions nor the legality, validity or enforceability of
        such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction will in any way
        be affected or impaired.

35.     REMEDIES AND WAIVERS

        No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any
        Finance Party, any right or remedy under the Finance Documents shall
        operate as a waiver, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
        right or remedy prevent any further or other exercise or the exercise
        of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies provided in this
        Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies
        provided by law.

                         GOVERNING LAW AND ENFORCEMENT

38.     GOVERNING LAW

        This Agreement is governed by Hong Kong law.

39.     ENFORCEMENT

39.1    Jurisdiction of Hong Kong courts

        39.1.1  The courts of Hong Kong have non-exclusive jurisdiction to
                settle any dispute arising out of or in connection with this
                Agreement (including a dispute regarding the existence,
                validity or termination of this Agreement) (a "Dispute").

        39.1.2  The Parties agree that the courts of Hong Kong are the most
                appropriate and convenient courts to settle Disputes and
                accordingly no Party will argue to the contrary.

        39.1.3  This Clause 39.1 is for the benefit of the Finance Parties
                only. As a result, no Finance Party shall be prevented from
                taking proceedings relating to a Dispute in any other courts
                with jurisdiction. To the extent allowed by law, the Finance
                Parties may take concurrent proceedings in any number of
                jurisdictions.

39.2    Service of process

        Without prejudice to any other mode of service allowed under any
        relevant law, each Obligor (other than the Guarantor and the Borrower):

        39.2.1  irrevocably appoints Aranea Limited of 39th Floor, PCCW Tower,
                Taikoo Place, Quarry Bay, Hong Kong as its agent for service of
                process in relation to any proceedings before the Hong Kong
                courts in connection with any Finance Document; and

        39.2.2  agrees that failure by a process agent to notify the relevant
                Obligor of the process will not invalidate the proceedings
                concerned.

39.3    Waiver of Immunity

        Each Obligor irrevocably and unconditionally:-

        39.3.1  agrees that in any legal action or proceedings against it or
                its assets in connection with this Agreement no immunity from
                such legal action or proceedings (which shall include, without
                limitation, suit, attachment prior to judgment, other
                attachment, the obtaining of judgment, execution or other
                enforcement) shall be claimed by or on behalf of such Obligor
                or with respect to its assets;

        39.3.2  irrevocably waives any such right of immunity which it or its
                assets now have or may hereafter acquire or which may be
                attributed to it or its assets; and

                                                                             65
<PAGE>

        39.3.3  consents generally in respect of any such legal action or
                proceedings to the giving of any relief or the issue of any
                process in connection with such action or proceedings
                including, without limitation, the making, enforcement or
                execution against any property whatsoever, (irrespective of its
                use or intended use) of any order or judgment which may be made
                or given in such action or proceedings.

This Agreement has been entered into on the date stated at the beginning of
this Agreement.

                                                                             66
