       (A)    a Hong Kong Dollar term loan facility in an aggregate amount
              equal to the Total Facility A Commitments; and

       (B)    a Hong Kong Dollar revolving loan facility in an aggregate amount
              equal to the Total Facility B Commitments.

2.2    Finance Party's rights and obligations

              are several. Failure by a Finance Party to perform its
              obligations under the Finance Documents does not affect the
              obligations of any other party under the Finance Documents. No
              Finance Party is responsible for the obligations of any other
              Finance Party under the Finance Documents.

       (B)    The rights of each Finance Party under or in connection with the
              Finance Documents are separate and independent rights and any
              debt arising under the Finance Documents to a Finance Party from
              the Borrower shall be a separate and independent debt.

       (C)    A Finance Party may, except as otherwise stated in the Finance
              Documents, separately enforce its rights under the Finance
              Documents.

              (1)    each such disposal is reported in writing by the Borrower
                     to the Agent within 5 Business Days of the disposal

                     Prepayment Amount (as defined below) (if any) to be
                     deposited into the Prepayment Account or (ii) if such
                     deposit would cause a breach of any provision having a
                     similar effect to and containing similar restrictions to
                     those in clause 19.3 (Negative pledge) under any document

              Business assets into any joint venture, the mandatory prepayment
              provisions of this clause 6.4 shall apply as if the injection of
              such assets was a disposal by the Borrower Group into the joint
              venture unless such asset is injected into a joint venture in
              respect of which the Borrower is the majority owner and retains
              control. (For the avoidance of doubt "majority owner" means owner
              of more than 50% of the paid up share capital of any company or
              corporation).

              "Disposal Proceeds" means the Net Proceeds (where such disposal
              is wholly for cash) or the Fair Market Value less Costs (where
              such disposal is in whole or in part for consideration other than
              cash).

              "Net Prepayment Amount" means an amount calculated in accordance

                     NPA  =[ (A - B) x  ----] x  ---
                           [             100]     D

                      Where:

                      NPA =  Net Prepayment Amount

                      A   =  in relation to any Core Business disposal, an
                             amount equal to the Disposal Proceeds received by
                             the relevant Borrower Group Company

                      B   =  the amount by which the HK$ equivalent of all
                             Disposal Proceeds (excluding the proceeds
                             comprising A) relating to Core Business disposals
                             during the then current Financial Year is less than
                             HK$1,000 million

                      C   =  the aggregate amount of the Facility A Loan
                             outstanding on the date of the disposal

                      D   =  the aggregate amount of the Facility A Loan
                             outstanding on the date of the disposal plus the
                             aggregate principal amount outstanding on the date
                             of the disposal under each other loan facility
                             which would be required to be prepaid under which
                             any Borrower Group Company is subject to a similar
                             mandatory prepayment covenant in respect of the
                             disposal of the Core Business assets (an "Other
                             Financing Arrangement").

              (B)    The Borrower shall at least 3 Business Days prior to the
                     date of deposit into the Prepayment Account or, as the
                     case may be, prepayment pursuant to sub-paragraph (A)(2)
                     of clause 6.4 deliver to the Agent a letter certifying:

                     (1)    the Net Prepayment Amount;

                     (2)    the date on which such amount will be deposited or,
                            as the case may be, prepaid; and

<PAGE>

                     (3)    the aggregate principal amount outstanding on the
                            date of the relevant disposal under each Other
                            Financing Arrangement.

       (C)    The Borrower shall, from time to time, notify the Agent of each
              Other Financing Arrangement within 20 Business Days after
              financial closing thereof.

       (D)    Each of the Agent, the Security Trustee and the Account Bank is
              hereby authorised by the Borrower to take all steps necessary to
              facilitate the prepayment pursuant to this clause 6.4. The Agent
              shall apply all of the monies representing principal standing to
              the credit of the Prepayment Account together with any interest
              accrued on such sum calculated up to the Business Day immediately
              preceding the Prepayment Date (the "Mandatory Prepayment Amount")
              in effecting a prepayment hereunder in accordance with the
              following provisions of this clause 6.4.

       (E)    The Agent, having determined the Mandatory Prepayment Amount on
              the Business Day prior to the Prepayment Date, will, subject to
              the Mandatory Prepayment Amount being in excess of HK$10,000,000,
              on the Prepayment Date remit to each Lender under Facility A its
              proportion of such Mandatory Prepayment Amount in respect of its
              participation in the Facility A Loan.

       (F)    In relation to any disposal of Core Business assets by any member
              of the Borrower Group where such consideration is in whole or in
              part for consideration other than cash, the Borrower shall
              deliver to the Agent within 10 Business Days following any such
              disposal, a report by an independent third party valuer
              acceptable to the Agent (acting reasonably) confirming the Fair
              Market Value of the assets disposed of, provided that where the
              Fair Market Value of such assets is less than US$30,000,000 or
              its equivalent in any other currency then a certificate signed by
              a director of the Borrower as to the Fair Market Value may be
              provided instead of such third party valuation.

6.5    Right of prepayment and cancellation in relation to a single Lender

       (A)    If:

              (1)    any sum payable to any Lender by the Borrower is required
                     to be increased under paragraph (C) of clause 11.2 (Tax
                     gross-up); or

              (2)    any Lender claims indemnification from the Borrower under
                     clause 11.3 (Indemnity) or clause 12.1 (Increased Costs),

              the Borrower may, whilst the circumstance giving rise to the
              requirement or indemnification continues, give the Agent notice
              of cancellation of the Commitments (under Facility A and Facility
              B) of that Lender and its intention to procure the prepayment of
              that Lender's participation in all the Loans.

       (B)    On receipt of a notice from the Borrower by the Agent referred to
              in paragraph (A) above, the Commitments (under Facility A and
              Facility B) of that Lender shall immediately be reduced to zero.

       (C)    On the last day of each Interest Period which ends after the
              Borrower has given notice under paragraph (A) above (or, if
              earlier, the date specified by the Borrower in that notice), the
              Borrower shall prepay that Lender's participation in all the
              Loans

                                      21

6.6    Restrictions

       (A)    Any notice of cancellation or prepayment given by the Borrower
              under this clause 6 shall be irrevocable and, unless a contrary

              dates upon which the relevant cancellation or prepayment is to be
              made, the relevant Facility or (as the case may be) Facilities in
              respect of which the cancellation or prepayment is to be made and
              the amount of that cancellation or prepayment. Any cancellation
              or prepayment under this clause 6 (other than clause 6.5, where
              only the Commitment of the relevant Lender shall be reduced) in
              part shall reduce the Commitment of each Lender under the
              relevant Facility rateably.

       (B)    The Borrower may not reborrow any part of Facility A which is
              prepaid.

       (E)    No Commitment cancelled (in whole or in part) under this
              Agreement may be subsequently reinstated.

       (F)    If the Agent receives a notice under this clause 6, it shall
              promptly forward a copy of that notice to the Borrower or the
              affected Lender, as appropriate.

6.7    Interest on Prepayment Account

       (A)    The Account Bank agrees to use its reasonable efforts to accrue
              interest on the amounts standing to the credit of the Prepayment
              Account at the best rate it is then reasonably able to obtain in
              relation to such amounts.

       (B)    Interest on all sums standing to the credit of the Prepayment
              Account shall accrue from and including the relevant date of
              credit to the Prepayment Account to and excluding the relevant
              date of prepayment on a daily basis and shall be calculated on
              the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a 365 day
              year. The Account Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower of the
              interest rate determined under this clause 6.7.

       (C)    Subject to no Event of Default having occurred which is
              Continuing accrued interest standing to the credit of the
              Prepayment Account which has not been applied in effecting a
              Prepayment shall be remitted to the Borrower on the Business Day
              following the relevant Prepayment Date.

                           PART 4: COSTS OF ADVANCE

7.     INTEREST

7.1    Calculation of interest

       (A)    Subject as provided in clauses 7.3 (Default interest rate) and
              9.2 (Market disruption and alternative interest rates), the rate
              of interest applicable to each Loan for each Interest Period
              relating to it is the percentage rate per annum which is the
              aggregate of the applicable (i) HIBOR and (ii) the Margin.

       (B)    Interest in respect of any Loan shall accrue from day to day and
              shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days
              elapsed and a year of 365 days from and including the first day
              of the relevant Interest Period to and excluding the last day of
              such Interest Period.

       (C)    The Borrower shall notify the Agent of any change in the
              Borrower's senior unsecured debt rating by Moody's or S&P or
              Fitch that would result in a change in the Margin promptly after
              it becomes aware of any public notification thereof.

7.2    Payment of interest

       The Borrower shall pay accrued interest on each Loan on each (or, as
       the case may be, the) Interest Payment Date relating to it (and, if
       the Interest Period is longer than six Months, on the dates falling at
       six Monthly intervals after the first day of such Interest Period).

7.3    Default interest rate

       (A)    If the Borrower fails to pay any amount payable by it under a
              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 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 in good faith and reasonably). Any interest
              accruing under this clause 7.3 shall be immediately payable by
              the Borrower on demand by the Agent.

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

7.4    Notification of rates of interest

       The Agent shall promptly (and in any event no later than 5:00 p.m. on
       the Quotation Day for any Interest Period) notify the Lenders and the
       Borrower of the determination of a rate of interest under this
       Agreement for such Interest Period.

8.     INTEREST PERIODS

8.1    Selection of Interest Periods

       (A)    The Borrower may select an Interest Period for a Loan in a
              Drawdown Notice or (if

                                      23
<PAGE>

              such Loan is the Facility A Loan and has already been borrowed)
              in a Selection Notice.

       (B)    Each Selection Notice is (subject to this clause 8.1(B))
              irrevocable and must be delivered to the Agent by the Borrower
              not later than 11:00 a.m. on or before the day falling 3 Business
              Days before the first day of the relevant Interest Period. Where
              the Borrower selects an Interest Period of 6 Months or longer (if
              available):

              (1)    the Borrower shall specify a Fallback Period;

              (2)    the Agent shall request in its notice of the receipt of
                     the Selection Notice to the Lenders, that each Lender
                     notify the Agent by no later than 11:00 a.m. on the first
                     Business Day immediately following the date of such notice
                     from the Agent of its consent to the Borrower's selection
                     of such 6 Month or longer period; and

              (3)    if the Agent does not receive the consent of all the
                     Lenders by the designated time, the Lenders shall be
                     deemed to have rejected such 6 Month or longer Interest
                     Period selected by the Borrower but accepted the Fallback
                     Period which shall be deemed to have been selected by the
                     Borrower. The Agent shall inform the Borrower and the
                     Lenders promptly after the designated time whether the
                     Fallback Period is deemed to have been selected or not (as
                     the case may be).

       (C)    If the Borrower fails to deliver a Selection Notice or to specify
              a Fallback Period to the Agent in accordance with paragraph (B)
              above, the relevant Interest Period will (in the absence of any
              contrary agreement) be 1 Month.

       (D)    Subject to this clause 8, the Borrower may select an Interest
              Period of 1, 2, 3 or (if available) 6 Months or any other period
              agreed between the Borrower and the Agent (acting on the
              instructions of all the Lenders).

       (E)    Any Interest Period for a Loan which would otherwise extend
              beyond the Final Repayment Date shall be of such duration that it
              shall end on the Final Repayment Date.

       (F)    Each Interest Period shall start on the relevant Drawdown Date or
              (in the case of the Facility A Loan which is already made) on the
              last day of the preceding Interest Period.

9.     CHANGES TO THE CALCULATION OF INTEREST AND BREAK COSTS

9.1    Absence of quotations

       Subject to clause 9.2 (Market disruption and alternative interest
       rates), if HIBOR is to be determined by reference to the Reference
       Banks but a Reference Bank does not supply a quotation by 12:00 noon
       on the Quotation Day, HIBOR shall be determined on the basis of the
       quotations of the remaining Reference Banks (if more than one).

9.2    Market disruption and alternative interest rates

       (A)    If a Market Disruption Event (as defined below) occurs in
              relation to a Loan for any Interest Period, then:

                                      24
<PAGE>

              (1)    the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the
                     Lenders accordingly giving full details of the
                     circumstances relevant to such notification;

              (2)    the Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) and after
                     consultation with the Lenders shall, within five Business
                     Days of such notice, commence negotiations with the
                     Borrower with a view to agreeing a mutually acceptable
                     substitute basis on which such Loan or Unpaid Sum may be
                     maintained;

              (3)    any substitute basis agreed in writing by the Agent (on
                     behalf of and with the consent of all of the Lenders) and
                     the Borrower within 30 days of such notice shall take
                     effect in accordance with its terms and interest shall be
                     calculated as if the substitute basis had come into effect
                     from the beginning of the relevant Interest Period;

              (4)    if no agreement is reached within 30 days, each Lender's
                     participation in such Loan shall during that Interest
                     Period bear interest at the annual rate equal to the cost
                     to that Lender (as certified by it to the Borrower within
                     10 days of the end of that 30 day period and expressed as
                     a percentage rate per annum) of funding its portion of
                     such Loan, during that Interest Period by whatever means
                     that Lender reasonably determines to be most appropriate
                     (provided that each Lender shall use its reasonable
                     endeavours to obtain the cheapest source of funding
                     reasonably available to it) plus the prevailing Margin;

              (5)    any substitute basis determined in accordance with this
                     clause 9.2 shall take effect until such time as the Agent
                     notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that none of the
                     circumstances previously notified to the Borrower and the
                     Lenders continue to exist whereupon the normal interest
                     rate fixing provisions of clause 7.1 (Calculation of
                     interest) shall apply as from the Quotation Date for the
                     next Interest Period.

       (B)    In this Agreement "Market Disruption Event" means:

              (1)    at or about 12:00 noon on the Quotation Day for the
                     relevant Interest Period the applicable Screen Rate is not
                     available and none or only one of the Reference Banks
                     supplies a rate to the Agent to determine HIBOR for the
                     relevant period; or

              (2)    at or before 4:00 p.m. on the Quotation Day for the
                     relevant Interest Period, the Agent receives notifications
                     from a Lender or Lenders (whose participations in the
                     Loans exceed 35% of the aggregate outstanding) that the
                     cost to it of obtaining matching deposits in the Hong Kong
                     interbank market would be in excess of HIBOR; or

              (3)    at or about 12:00 noon on the Quotation Day for the
                     relevant Interest Period the Agent reasonably determines
                     that, by reason of circumstances affecting the Hong Kong
                     interbank market, adequate and fair means do not or will
                     not exist for determining the rate of interest applicable
                     to such Interest Period.

9.3    Break Costs

       (A)      The Borrower shall, within five Business Days of demand by a
                Finance Party, pay to that Finance Party its Break Costs
                attributable to all or any part of a Loan or

                                      25
<PAGE>

              Unpaid Sum being paid by the Borrower on a day other than the
              last day of an Interest Period for that Loan or Unpaid Sum.

       (B)    Each Lender shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after a
              demand by the Agent or the Borrower, provide a letter to the Agent
              and the Borrower certifying the amount of its Break Costs for any
              Interest Period in which they accrue.

10.    FEES

10.1   Facility fee

       The Borrower shall pay to the Agent (for the account of each Lender in
       respect of its Commitment under each Facility) a facility fee at the
       rate of 0.325 per cent. per annum and calculated on the amount of the
       Total Commitments from time to time, such fee to be payable (1)
       quarterly in arrears, with the first payment being made on the day
       falling 3 months after the Facility A Loan has been made, and (2) on
       the day on which all Loans have been repaid in full and the Available
       Facility in relation to Facility B is cancelled and reduced to zero.

10.2   Front-end fee

       The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the
       Co-ordinating Arrangers a front-end fee in the amount and at the time
       agreed in the Fee Letter.

10.3   Agency fee

       The Borrower shall pay to the Agent and the Security Trustee (in each
       case, for its own account) an agency fee in the amount and at the
       times agreed in the Fee Letter.

                    PART 5: ADDITIONAL PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS

11.    TAX GROSS UP AND CREDIT

11.1   Definitions

       (A)    In this clause 11:

              "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 11.2 (Tax gross-up).

                                      26
<PAGE>

       (B)    In this clause 11, a reference to "determines" or "determined"
              means a determination made in the discretion of the person making
              the determination (acting reasonably).

11.2   Tax gross-up

       (A)    The Borrower shall make all payments to be made by it without any
              Tax Deduction, unless a Tax Deduction is required by law.

       (B)    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 and the Agent.

       (C)    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.

       (D)    If the Borrower is required 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 in the
              minimum amount required by law.

       (E)    Within thirty days of making either a Tax Deduction or any
              payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction or of
              receiving a receipt from the relevant tax authority in respect of
              any such payment, 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.

11.3   Indemnity

       (A)    The Borrower shall (within three 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 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 provided that
              such any loss, liability or cost is not due to any delay or
              non-compliance by that Protected Party.

       (B)    Paragraph (A) above shall not apply with respect to any Tax
              assessed on a Finance Party:

              (1)    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 carries on a business for
                     tax purposes; or

              (2)    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;

                                      27
<PAGE>

       (C)    A Protected Party making, or intending to make a claim pursuant
              to paragraph (A) 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.

       (D)    A Protected Party shall, on receiving a payment from the Borrower
              under this clause 11.3, notify the Agent.

11.4   Tax Credit

       If the Borrower makes a Tax Payment and the relevant Finance Party
       determines in good faith that:

       (A)    a Tax Credit is attributable to that Tax Payment; and

       (B)    that Finance Party has obtained, utilised and retained that Tax
              Credit,

       that Finance Party shall pay an amount to the Borrower which that
       Finance Party determines in good faith 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.

       Nothing in this clause 11.4 shall interfere with the right of a Finance
       Party to arrange its Tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit. No
       Finance Party shall be obliged to disclose any information relating to
       its Tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof.

11.5   Stamp taxes

       The Borrower shall pay and, within five Business Days of demand,
       indemnify each Finance Party against any cost, loss or liability that
       Finance Party incurs in relation to all stamp duty, registration and
       other similar Taxes payable in respect of any Finance Document or any
       judgment given in connection with them against the Borrower and shall
       indemnify each of the Finance Parties against any and all liabilities,
       including penalties, with respect to or resulting from its delay or
       omission to pay promptly following a request from a Finance Party any
       such stamp, registration and similar faxes or charges.

12.    INCREASED COSTS

12.1   Increased Costs

       (A)    Subject to clause 12.3 (Exceptions) the Borrower shall, within
              five Business Days of a demand by the Agent, pay for the account
              of a Finance Party the amount of any Increased Costs (as defined
              below) incurred by that Finance Party or any of its Affiliates as
              a result of (i) the introduction of or any change in (or in the
              interpretation or application of) any law or regulation or (ii)
              compliance with any applicable law or regulation made after the
              date of this Agreement.

       (B)    In this Agreement, "Increased Costs" means:

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

                                      28
<PAGE>

              (2)    an additional or increased cost; or

              (3)    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 any of its Commitments or funding or
              performing its obligations under any Finance Document.

12.2   Increased Costs claims

       (A)    A Finance Party intending to make a claim pursuant to clause 12.1
              (Increased Costs) shall notify the Agent of the event giving rise
              to the claim, following which the Agent shall promptly notify the
              Borrower.

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

12.3   Exceptions

       (A)    Clause 12.1 (Increased Costs) does not apply to the extent any
              Increased Cost is:

              (1)    attributable to a Tax Deduction required by law to be made
                     by the Borrower; or

              (2)    attributable to the wilful breach by the relevant Finance
                     Party or its Affiliates of any law or regulation; or

              (3)    compensated for in full by the operation of clause 11.3
                     (Indemnity) or any other provision of this Agreement; or

              (4)    attributable to any change in the rate of any Tax referred
                     to in clause 11.3(B); or

              (5)    attributable to the implementation by the applicable
                     authorities having jurisdiction over such Lender of any
                     increase in capital adequacy requirements which is
                     pursuant to and in accordance with any timetable relating
                     to the implementation of capital adequacy requirements
                     where the Lender is aware of such timetable as at the date
                     of this Agreement.

       (B)    In this clause 12.3, a reference to a "Tax Deduction" has the
              same meaning given to the term in clause 11.1 (Definitions).

13.    INDEMNITIES

13.1   Currency indemnity

       (A)    If any sum due from the Borrower under the Finance Documents (a
              "Sum"), or any order, judgment or award given or made in relation
              to a Sum, has to be converted from the currency (the "First
              Currency") in which that Sum is payable into another currency
              (the "Second Currency") for the purpose of:

              (1)    making or filing a claim or proof against the Borrower; or

                                      29

              (2)    obtaining or enforcing an order, judgment or award in
                     relation to any litigation or arbitration proceedings,

              the Borrower shall, as an independent obligation, within five
              Business Days of demand, indemnify each Finance Party to whom that
              Sum is due against any cost, loss or liability arising out of or
              as a result of the conversion including any discrepancy between
              (i) the rate of exchange used to convert that Sum from the First
              Currency into the Second Currency and (ii) the rate or rates of
              exchange available to that person at the time of its receipt of
              that Sum.

       (B)    The Borrower waives any right it may have in any jurisdiction to
              pay any amount under the Finance Documents in a currency or
              currency unit other than that in which it is expressed to be
              payable.

13.2   Other indemnities

       The Borrower shall, within five Business Days of demand, indemnify each
       Finance Party against any cost, loss or liability properly incurred by
       that Finance Party as a result of:

       (A)    the occurrence of any Default;

       (B)    a failure by the Borrower to pay any amount due under a Finance
              Document on its due date including, without limitation, any cost,
              loss or liabilities arising as a result of clause 26.2
              (Redistribution of payments);

       (C)    funding, or making arrangements to fund, its participation in a
              Loan requested by the Borrower in the relevant Drawdown Notice
              but not made by reason of the operation of any one or more of the
              provisions of this Agreement (other than by reason of default or
              negligence by that Lender alone); or

       (D)    a Loan (or part of a Loan) not being prepaid in accordance with a
              notice of prepayment given by the Borrower.

13.3   Indemnity to the Agent

       The Borrower shall promptly indemnify the Agent against any cost, loss
       or liability incurred by the Agent (acting reasonably) as a result of:

       (A)    investigating any event which it reasonably believes is a
              Default; or

       (B)    acting or relying on any notice, request or instruction which it
              reasonably believes to be genuine, correct and appropriately
              authorised.

14.    ILLEGALITY AND MITIGATION

14.1   Illegality

       If, at any time, it is or will become unlawful in any jurisdiction for
       a Lender to perform any of its obligations as contemplated by this
       Agreement or to fund its participation in any Loan:

       (A)    that Lender shall promptly notify the Agent upon becoming aware
              of that event;

                                      30
<PAGE>

       (B)    upon the Agent notifying the Borrower, the relevant Commitments
              (under Facility A and Facility B) of that Lender will be
              immediately cancelled. If a Lender's Commitments are cancelled in
              accordance with the terms of this Agreement after the Agent has
              received a Drawdown Notice, then the amount to be advanced
              thereunder shall be reduced accordingly; and

       (C)    the Borrower shall repay that Lender's participation in each Loan
              together with accrued interest to the date of actual payment and
              all other sums due or which may become due to such Lender
              including any additional amount payable under clause 13.2 (Other
              indemnities) on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan
              occurring after the Agent has notified the Borrower or, if
              earlier, the date specified by the Lender in the notice delivered
              to the Agent (being no earlier than the last day of any
              applicable grace period permitted by law).

14.2   Mitigation

       Notwithstanding the provisions of Clauses 11 (Tax gross up and
       credit), 12 (Increased Costs) and 14.1 (Illegality), if in relation to
       a Lender or (as the case may be) the Agent circumstances arise which
       would result in:

       (A)    any deduction, withholding or payment of the nature referred to
              in clause 11 (Tax gross up and credit);

       (B)    any increased cost of the nature referred to in clause 12
              (Increased Costs); or

       (C)    a notification pursuant to clause 14.1 (Illegality),

       then without in any way limiting, reducing or otherwise qualifying the
       rights of such Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, under any of
       those clauses, and without prejudice to the Borrower's obligations
       under those clauses, such Lender or the Agent, as the case may be,
       shall promptly upon becoming aware of the same notify the Agent
       thereof (whereupon the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower) and
       such Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, shall enter into
       negotiations in good faith with the Agent and the Borrower for a
       period not exceeding thirty days (or such lesser period, as the
       parties may agree) with a view to mitigating or removing such
       circumstances by means of the transfer of its participation in both
       Facilities and its rights and obligations hereunder and under the
       Finance Documents to another financial institution or Facility Office
       not affected by the circumstances having the results set out in (A),
       (B) or (C) above and shall otherwise take such reasonable steps as may
       be open to it to mitigate the effects of such circumstances provided
       that such Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, shall not be under
       any obligation to take any such action if, in its opinion, to do so
       would or might have a material adverse effect upon its business,
       operation or financial condition or the management of its Tax affairs
       or be contrary to its policies or would involve it in any unlawful
       activity or any activity that is contrary to any request, guidance or
       directive of any competent authority applicable to such Lender or the
       Agent (whether or not having the force of law but if not having the
       force of law being on which it is the general practice of persons to
       whom it is intended to apply to comply with) or (unless indemnified to
       its satisfaction) would involve it in any significant expense or tax
       disadvantage.

14.3   The Borrower shall indemnify each Finance Party for all costs and
       expenses reasonably incurred by that Finance Party as a result of
       steps taken by it under clause 14.2 (Mitigation).

       (B)    its constitutional documents; or

       (C)    any agreement or instrument binding upon it or any other Borrower

16.4   Power and authority

       (A)    The Borrower has the power to enter into, perform and deliver,
              and has taken all necessary action to authorise its entry into,

       (C)    (1)    All actions, conditions and things required to be
                     taken, fulfilled and done (including the obtaining of any

                     perform and comply with its obligations contained in each

                     obligations are (subject to the Reservations) legally
                     valid, binding and enforceable (subject to all necessary

              Document; and

       (B)    to make each relevant Finance Document admissible in evidence in

<PAGE>

16.7   Financial Statements

       Its Financial Statements, together with the notes thereto, fairly

       the Borrower Group's financial condition during the relevant period in
       respect of which the same were prepared.

16.8   No litigation

       No litigation, arbitration or administrative or other proceedings
       (together "proceedings") of or before any court have (to the best of
       the Borrower's knowledge and belief) been started or threatened
       against the Borrower or any other Borrower Group Company where, if
       such proceedings were adversely determined against the Borrower or
       such other Borrower Group Company they would (whether individually or
       in aggregate) be likely to result in a liability in excess of
       US$30,000,000 or result in a Material Adverse Effect.

16.9   No Material Adverse Change

       There has been no Material Adverse Change (to the best of the

       if later, the date of the latest Financial Statements delivered to the
       Agent under clause 17.1 (Financial Statements).

16.10  Material business and consents

       (including Telecommunications Authorisations) necessary for the
       carrying on of the Borrower Group's Core Business have been obtained
       and are in full force and effect and (to the best of the Borrower's
       knowledge and belief) are not likely to be revoked or terminated (and
       not be reinstated, renewed or replaced by a similar licence within 30
       days after such revocation or termination) or be made subject to
       unduly onerous conditions, and no notice has been received by the
       Borrower or, so far as the Borrower is aware, by any other Borrower
       Group Company of an intention to so revoke or terminate or impose such
       conditions.

16.11  Telecommunications compliance

       Neither the Borrower nor, so far as the Borrower is aware, any other
       Borrower Group Company has received notification of any breach or
       alleged breach of the Telecommunications Regulations and the Borrower
       has no reason to believe that any such notice is pending or threatened
       and no circumstances exist which are known to the Borrower and which
       may be expected to prevent or interfere with the Borrower or any other
       Borrower Group Company being in compliance with any such
       Telecommunications Regulations or result in any material liability
       under them.

16.12  Governing law and enforcement

<PAGE>

16.14  No filing or stamp taxes

       Save for registration of the Security Documents at the Companies
       Registry within the statutorily prescribed period and payment of the
       registration fees in relation thereto, under the laws of Hong Kong it
       is not necessary that the Finance Documents be filed, recorded or
       enrolled with any court or other authority in that jurisdiction or
       that any stamp, registration or similar tax be paid on or in relation
       to the Finance Documents or the transactions contemplated by the
       Finance Documents.

16.15  Pari passu ranking

       The Borrower's payment obligations under the Finance Documents rank at
       least pari passu with the claims of all its other unsecured and
       unsubordinated creditors, except for obligations mandatorily preferred
       by law applying to companies generally.

16.16  Share capital interests

       As at the date of this Agreement, the Borrower is an indirect wholly
       owned subsidiary of the Parent.

16.17  No Encumbrances

              any of its Principal Subsidiaries (other than the Listed
              Principal Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries) except as
              permitted under clause 19.3 (Negative pledge).

       (B)    Neither the execution of any Security Document nor the
              performance by or exercise of any rights of the Borrower under
              the terms of any such document will result in the existence of,
              or oblige the Borrower to create, any Encumbrance which is not
              permitted under clause 19.3 (Negative pledge) in favour of any
              person over the whole or any part of the undertaking or assets
              (present or future) of the Borrower.

16.18  Repetition

       There shall be deemed to be repeated:

       (A)    on each Drawdown Date; and

       Statements) which shall be deemed to be repeated by reference to the
       most recent Financial Statements delivered to the Agent under clause
       17.1 (Financial Statements). In addition, the representations and
       warranties set out in clause 16.16 (Share capital interests) shall be
       repeated only on the earlier of the first Drawdown Date and the last day

       warranties set out in

                                      35

       Any Indebtedness owing by, or interest payable by, a Borrower Group
       Company to another Borrower Group Company shall be ignored for the

18.3   Terms of subordination

       For the purpose of calculating the financial covenants under this
       clause 18, the Borrower may procure any Inter-Group Borrowing or any
       Third Party Borrowing be deemed and treated as Subordinated
       Indebtedness pursuant to a Group Subordination Deed or, as the case
       may be, a Third Party Subordination Deed. In either case, the Borrower
       may subsequently at its option de-subordinate any such Subordinated
       Indebtedness in accordance with the terms of the Group Subordination
       Deed or, as the case may be, the Third Party Subordination Deed
       relating thereto provided that such de-subordination applies to all
       but not part only of such Subordinated Indebtedness and provided
       further that the following conditions have been satisfied:

       (A)    the Borrower has given to the Facility Agent not less than 30
              Business Days' (or such shorter period as the Majority Lenders
              may agree) prior written notice of the date on which such
              de-subordination is to become effective (the "Release Date");

       (B)    together with the notice referred to above, the Borrower has
              delivered a confirmation in writing to the Facility Agent
              certifying that it is in compliance with the financial covenants
              contained in and calculated in accordance with this clause 18 and
              would remain in compliance notwithstanding the proposed
              de-subordination and confirming that no Default has occurred and
              is Continuing or would result from the proposed de-subordination.
              For the avoidance of doubt, the relevant amount of the
              Subordinated Indebtedness to be de-subordinated on the Release
              Date shall, as from and as at such date, be treated as and
              included in the calculation of Total Debt or, as the case may be,
              Interest for the purposes of this clause 18; and

       (C)    no Default is Continuing on the Release Date.

       The Borrower shall not be entitled to de-subordinate any Subordinated
       Indebtedness except as provided for in this clause 18.3.

              Encumbrances in respect of Indebtedness of greater than
              US$30,000,000 (or its equivalent), the Borrower has provided a
              confirmation in writing to the Agent certifying compliance with

              such Indebtedness will be so secured.

              Without prejudice to paragraph (C) of clause 20.1 (Breach of
              specific covenants), the Borrower fails to comply with clause 17
              (Information undertakings) or clause 19 (General undertakings)
              unless such failure is (in the reasonable opinion of the Majority
              Lenders) capable of being remedied and is so remedied within 20
              Business Days of the Agent giving written notice to the Borrower
              requiring it to remedy, or if earlier, within 20 Business Days of
              the date on which the Borrower first became aware of such breach.

       (E)    Misrepresentation

              Any representation or statement made or deemed to be made by the
              Borrower under clause 16 (Representations and warranties) is or
              proves to have been incorrect or misleading in any material
              respect when made or deemed to be made, unless the underlying
              circumstances (if in the Majority Lenders' reasonable opinion
              capable of remedy) are remedied within 20 Business Days of the
              Agent giving written notice to the Borrower requiring it to
              remedy or, if earlier, within 20 Business Days of the date on
              which the Borrower first became aware of such breach, and its
              effect is such as to be reasonably likely (in the opinion of the
              Agent acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders) to give
              rise to a Material Adverse Effect.

       (F)    Insolvency

              as a going concern.

       (K)    Rescission

                          PART 7: CHANGES TO PARTIES

21.    CHANGES TO THE LENDERS

21.1   Assignments and transfers by the Lenders

       Subject to this clause 21, a Lender (the "Existing Lender") may:

       (A) assign any of its rights; or

       (B) transfer by novation any of its rights and obligations,

       under the Finance Documents to another bank or financial institution
       or, with the prior written consent of the Borrower, to any other
       entity (the "New Lender") provided that such transfer or assignment is
       (1) in a minimum amount of HK$10,000,000 and (2) in respect of its
       rights and/or obligations under both Facilities pro rata to its
       Commitment under each Facility.

21.2   Conditions of assignment or transfer

       (A)    If a Lender assigns any rights under the Finance Documents in
              accordance with clause 21.1 (Assignments and transfers by the
              Lenders) then, subject to the assignee delivering to the Agent at
              least 7 Business Days' (or such shorter period agreed by the
              Agent) prior to the proposed Assignment Date specified in such
              undertaking an undertaking substantially in the form of Schedule
              5 (Form of Assignee's Undertaking) in the Agreed Terms that it
              will be bound by the terms of the Finance Documents as a Lender,
              and paying the assignment fee referred to in clause 21.3
              (Assignment or transfer fee), the assignee shall be substituted
              for the assignor and have the same rights against the Borrower as
              it would have had if it had been an original party to this
              Agreement as a Lender with the rights assigned to it. Such
              undertaking shall contain the assignee's notice details for the
              purpose of clause 31.2 (Addresses).

       (B)    A transfer will only be effective if the procedure set out in
              clause 21.5 (Procedure for transfer) is complied with.

                                      46
<PAGE>

       (C)    Each of the parties irrevocably authorises the Lenders to
              deliver, and the Agent to receive, undertakings under clause
              21.2(A) and/or Transfer Certificates in accordance with clause
              21.5 (Procedure for transfer). In addition, each party (other
              than the Existing Lender and the New Lender) irrevocably
              authorises the Agent to execute any completed Transfer
              Certificates on its behalf.

       (D)    The Borrower shall enter into such additional documentation (if
              any) required by the Agent or the Security Trustee to effect any
              assignment or transfer in accordance with this clause 21.

       The Agent shall distribute payments received by it in relation to the
       Loans to the Lenders indicated in the records of the Agent as being
       entitled thereto on the date on which such payment fell due (and, if
       that date is the due date on which an assignment or transfer of such
       portion takes effect, to the Lenders so indicated before such
       assignment or transfer took effect).

21.3   Assignment or transfer fee

       On the date of the Agent's receipt of the undertaking required under
       clause 21.2(A) (Conditions of assignment or transfer) or of the
       Transfer Certificate, the relevant New Lender shall pay a fee of
       HK$5,000 to the Agent.

21.4   Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lenders

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

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

              (2)    the financial condition, affairs, status or nature of the
                     Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the observance by
                     the Borrower of any term of the Finance Documents;

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

              (4)    the accuracy and/or completeness of any statements or
                     information (whether written or oral) made in or in
                     connection with or supplied to it in connection with any
                     Finance Document or any other document or supplied to it
                     in connection with the Borrower Group,

              and any representations or warranties implied by law are
              excluded.

       (B)    Each New Lender confirms to the Existing Lender and the other
              Finance Parties that it:

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

                                      47
<PAGE>

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

              (3)    has received copies of the Finance Documents and all
                     documentation and information required by it in connection
                     with this transaction (other than the Fee Letters referred
                     to in clauses 10.2 (Front-end fee) and 10.3 (Agency fee));
                     and

              (4)    has received copies of all outstanding consents and waiver
                     requests and will be bound by any decisions made by the
                     Existing Lender which have been communicated to the Agent
                     prior to the Transfer Date.

       (C)    Nothing in any Finance Document obliges an Existing Lender to:

              (1)    accept a re-transfer from a New Lender of any of the
                     rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this
                     clause 21; or

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

21.5   Procedure for transfer

       (A)    If a Lender (an "Existing Lender") wishes to transfer any rights
              and/or obligations under the Finance Documents in accordance with
              clause 21.1 (Assignments and transfers by the Lenders) such
              transfer will only be effective if the Agent receives three
              executed copies of a Transfer Certificate signed by the Existing
              Lender(s) and the New Lender(s) at least 7 Business Days prior to
              the proposed Transfer Date specified in the Transfer Certificate
              (or such shorter period agreed by the Agent). As soon as
              reasonably practicable after its receipt of a duly completed
              Transfer Certificate appearing to comply with the terms of this
              Agreement, the Agent shall execute that Transfer Certificate.

       (B)    On the Transfer Date specified in the Transfer Certificate (or if
              later, on the date on which the Agent executes the Transfer
              Certificate):

              (1)    to the extent that the Existing Lender(s) elect(s) in the
                     Transfer Certificate to transfer rights and obligations
                     under the Finance Documents, the Borrower and the Existing
                     Lender(s) shall each be released from further obligations
                     to the other and their respective rights against each
                     other cancelled (except for rights accrued before the date
                     on which the Transfer Certificate takes effect);

              (2)    the Borrower and the New Lender(s) shall acquire rights
                     against each other and assume obligations towards each
                     other which differ from the rights and obligations so
                     cancelled and released only insofar as the Borrower and
                     the New Lender(s) have acquired and assumed them in place
                     of the Borrower and the Existing Lender(s);

              (3)    the New Lender(s) and the Finance Parties shall acquire
                     the same rights and assume the same obligations between
                     themselves as they would have acquired and assumed had the
                     New Lender(s) been original parties to the Finance
                     Documents as Lender(s) with the rights and obligations
                     acquired and

                                      48
<PAGE>

                     assumed as a result of such transfer (and, to that extent,
                     the Existing Lender(s) and the Finance Parties shall each
                     be released from further obligations to each other under
                     the Finance Documents); and

              (4)    the New Lender(s) shall become a party to the Finance
                     Documents as a "Lender".

21.6   Reference Banks

       If a Reference Bank (or, if a Reference Bank is not a Lender, the Lender
       of which it is an Affiliate) ceases to be one of the Lenders, the Agent
       shall (after consultation with the Borrower) appoint another Lender or
       an Affiliate of a Lender to replace that Reference Bank.

21.7   Sub-participations

       Nothing in this Agreement restricts the ability of a Lender to
       sub-contract an obligation if it remains liable under this Agreement
       for that obligation.

21.8   Limitation of specified indemnities

       If, at any time, any Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights,
       benefits and obligations under this Agreement and, at the time of such
       assignment or transfer, there arises an obligation on the part of the
       Borrower under clause 11.2 (Tax gross-up) or clause 12 (Increased
       Costs) to pay to such Lender or its assignee or transferee any amount
       in excess of the amount it would have then been obliged to pay but for
       such assignment or transfer, then the Borrower shall not be obliged to
       pay the amount of such excess provided that this clause 21.8 shall not
       apply to any assignment or transfer made (i) pursuant to clause 14.2
       (Mitigation) or (ii) with prior consent of the Borrower or (iii) at
       any time whilst an Event of Default is Continuing.

21.9   Confidentiality

       The Borrower agrees that the Finance Parties may at any time disclose
       such information relating to the Borrower and other members of the
       Borrower Group as shall come into their possession whether or not in
       relation to a Facility:

       (A)    to any prospective assignee, New Lender or sub-participant;

       (B)    to their respective advisers, professional or otherwise;

       (C)    to the other Finance Parties or any Affiliate of a Finance Party;

       (D)    if required to do so by an order of a court in any jurisdiction;

       (E)    under any law or regulation or to any applicable regulatory
              authority (including the Hong Kong Monetary Authority) in any
              jurisdiction; and

       (F)    where such information shall have already entered the public
              domain,

       and in the case of paragraphs (A), (B) and (C) above, subject to
       requiring and receiving a written confidentiality undertaking
       substantially in the form of Schedule 6 (Form of

                                      49
<PAGE>

       Confidentiality Undertaking), a copy of which shall, as soon as
       practicable, be delivered to the Borrower.

21.10  Agent's notification

       The Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower of its
       receipt of an undertaking under clause 21.2(A) (Conditions of
       assignment and transfer) or upon execution of a Transfer Certificate
       under clause 21.5 (Procedure for transfer).

21.11  Universal succession

       If a Lender is to be merged with any other person by universal
       succession, that Lender shall, at its own cost, within 30 days of that
       merger furnish to the Agent:

       (A)    a copy of a legal opinion issued by a qualified legal counsel
              practising law in its jurisdiction of incorporation confirming
              that all that Lender's assets, rights and obligations generally
              have been duly vested in the succeeding entity who has succeeded
              to all relationships as if those assets, rights and obligations
              had been originally acquired, incurred or entered into by the
              succeeding entity; and

       (B)    a written confirmation by the Agent's legal counsel that the laws
              of the jurisdiction in which the Facility Office is located
              recognise such merger by universal succession under the relevant
              foreign laws,

       whereupon a transfer and novation of all that Lender's assets, rights
       and obligations to its succeeding entity shall have been, or be deemed
       to have been, duly effected as at the date of the said merger. If that
       Lender, in a universal succession, does not comply with the requirements
       under this clause 21.11, the Agent has the right to decline to recognise
       the succeeding entity and demand that Lender and the succeeding entity
       to sign and deliver a Transfer Certificate to the Agent evidencing the
       disposal of all rights and obligations of that Lender to that succeeding
       entity.

22.    CHANGES TO THE BORROWER

       The Borrower may not assign any of its rights or transfer any of its
       rights or obligations under the Finance Documents.

                         PART 8: THE FINANCE PARTIES

23.    AGENT AND SECURITY TRUSTEE

23.1   Appointment

       (A)    Appointment: Each Lender appoints:

              (1)    the Agent to act as its agent in connection with this
                     Agreement; and

              (2)    the Security Trustee to act as its agent and trustee in
                     relation to the Security Documents;

       and authorises each of the Agent and the Security Trustee:

                                      50
<PAGE>

                     (a)    to execute on its behalf those Finance Documents or
                            any document or certificate relating thereto
                            expressed by this Agreement to be executed by the
                            Agent or Security Trustee on behalf of the Finance
                            Parties;

                     (b)    to exercise such rights, powers and discretions as
                            are specifically delegated to them by the terms of
                            the Finance Documents together with all reasonably
                            incidental rights, powers and discretions; and

                     (c)    in the case of the Agent, to make or receive any
                            payment on its behalf as required by the terms of
                            any of the Finance Documents.

              The Borrower shall be entitled to assume that the Agent and the
              Security Trustee represent the Lender or the Majority Lenders (as
              the case may be), and that all consents and notices given by the
              Agent or the Security Trustee on their behalf are validly given.

       (B)    Chinese Wall: In acting as Agent or Security Trustee for the
              Lenders, the respective Agent's or, as the case may be, the
              Security Trustee's syndication division (or such other division
              as may undertake such task) shall be treated as a separate entity
              from any other of its divisions or departments and, despite the
              provisions of this clause 23, if any of the Agent or Security
              Trustee acts for or transacts business with any member of the
              Group in any capacity in relation to any other matter (including
              as a Lender under this Agreement), any information given by any
              member of the Group to any of the Agent or Security Trustee in
              such other capacity may be treated as confidential by the Agent
              or, as the case may be, the Security Trustee.

23.2   Powers

       Each of the Agent and the Security Trustee may:

       (A)    assume that:

              (1)    any representation made by the Borrower in or in
                     connection with the Finance Documents is true;

              (2)    no Default has occurred (unless it has actual knowledge of
                     a Default arising under clause 20.1(A) (Non-payment));

              (3)    the Borrower is not in breach of or default under its
                     obligations under any Finance Document; and

              (4)    any right, power, authority or discretion vested in any
                     party or the Majority Lenders has not been exercised;

              unless the Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Trustee has
              in its capacity as agent (or where relevant, as agent and
              trustee) for the Lenders actually received written notice to the
              contrary from any other party to this Agreement;

       (B)    assume that each New Lender's Facility Office is that identified
              in the Transfer Certificate under which it became a party to this
              Agreement until it has received from such New Lender a notice
              designating some other office of such New Lender as its Facility
              Office, and may act upon any such notice until the same is

                                      51
<PAGE>

              superseded by a further such notice;

       (C)    engage and pay for the advice or services of any lawyers,
              accountants or other advisers whose advice or services may seem
              necessary, expedient or desirable to it and may rely upon any
              advice so obtained;

       (D)    rely as to matters of fact which might reasonably be expected to
              be within the knowledge of the Borrower upon a certificate or
              statement signed by or on behalf of the Borrower;

       (E)    rely upon any communication or document believed by it to be
              genuine and correct and to have been communicated or signed by
              the person by whom it purports to be communicated or signed;

       (F)    refrain from exercising any right, power or discretion vested in
              it under any Finance Document unless and until instructed by the
              Majority Lenders or all of the Lenders (as the case may be)
              whether or not such right, power or discretion is to be exercised
              and, if it is to be exercised, as to the manner in which it
              should be exercised, and it shall not be liable for acting or
              refraining from acting in accordance with or in the absence of
              instructions from the Majority Lenders or all of the Lenders (as
              the case may be);

       (G)    refrain from taking any step to protect or enforce the rights of
              any Lender under any Finance Document and from beginning any
              legal action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with
              any Finance Document until it has been indemnified and/or secured
              as it may require (whether by way of payment in advance or
              otherwise) against all costs, claims, expenses (including legal
              fees) and liabilities which it will or may expend or incur in
              complying with such instructions;

       (H)    refrain from doing anything which would or might in its opinion
              be contrary to any applicable law or any requirements (whether or
              not having the force of law) of any governmental, judicial or
              regulatory body or otherwise render it liable to any person, and
              it may do anything which is in its opinion necessary to comply
              with any such applicable law or requirement;

       (I)    do any act or thing in the exercise of any of its powers and
              duties under the Finance Documents which may lawfully be done and
              which in its absolute discretion it deems advisable for the
              protection and benefit of the Finance Parties collectively
              including the investment of monies in any investments authorised
              by any applicable law;

       (J)    perform any of its duties, obligations and responsibilities under
              the Finance Documents by or through its personnel or agents;

       (K)    accept deposits from, lend money (secured or unsecured) to and
              generally engage in any kind of banking or other business with
              any member of the Group without any liability to account;

       (L)    carry on any banking or other business with any member of the
              Group without liability to account as though it were not the
              Agent or the Security Trustee and without notice to or consent of
              the Lenders and shall be under no obligation to provide any
              information regarding any member of the Group which it receives
              as a result of such activities to any other Finance Party. With
              respect to its participation

                                      52
<PAGE>

              in any Facility, the Agent and the Security Trustee shall have
              the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other
              Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent
              or the Security Trustee;

       (M)    deposit any instruments, documents or deeds delivered to it with
              any Lender or professional custodian or with any Finance Party's
              legal advisers and shall not be liable for any loss thereby
              incurred in the absence of any gross negligence or wilful default
              by it; and

       (N)    procure that any investment or any part of the property charged
              or assigned under the Security Documents or the proceeds thereof
              is held and/or registered in the name of its nominee; and
              delegate from time to time by power of attorney or otherwise to
              any person it thinks fit any of its rights, trusts, powers,
              authorities or discretions vested in it by any Finance Document
              which, in each case, relate to purely administrative acts only
              and on any terms and subject to any conditions or regulations as
              it thinks fit.

23.3   Duties

       Each of the Agent and the Security Trustee shall:

       (A)    except as regards purely administrative acts, consult whenever
              reasonably practicable with the Lenders before doing or
              refraining from doing any act or thing in the exercise of its
              powers as agent and/or trustee;

       (B)    as soon as practicable upon receipt inform each Lender of the
              contents of any notice or document or other information
              (addressed to all Lenders generally or which the Lenders are
              expressly entitled to receive pursuant to the terms of this
              Agreement) received by it in its capacity as Agent under this
              Agreement from the Borrower or as Security Trustee under the
              Security Documents from the Borrower;

       (C)    promptly following receipt of the notice referred to below,
              notify each Lender of the occurrence of any Default or Event of
              Default or any material breach by the Borrower in the due
              performance of its obligations under this Agreement or any
              Security Document which is either a default in the payment of
              principal or interest of which the Agent or, as the case may be,
              the Security Trustee (in its capacity as such) has received
              notice from any other party to this Agreement;

       (D)    subject to the provisions of this clause 23 and except as
              stipulated in clause 24 (Amendments and decisions), act in
              accordance with any instructions given to it by the Majority
              Lenders;

       (E)    if so instructed by the Majority Lenders, except in circumstances
              set out in clause 28.1 (Enforcement), refrain from exercising any
              right, power or discretion vested in it under the Finance
              Documents; and

       (F)    refrain from beginning any legal action or proceedings in
              connection with the Finance Documents on behalf of any Finance
              Party until such Finance Party has given its written consent to
              the proposed action.

       This clause relates to every consent to be given, decision to be taken,
       discretions to be exercised, or determination to be made which is
       expressed to be made or taken by the Agent or the Security Trustee,
       except where the words "at the request of any Lender" or

                                      53
<PAGE>

       similar, are used, or where the consent, decision or discretion to be
       made or exercised would fall within the scope of clause 24.2 (Unanimous
       Consent) in which case the Agent or the Security Trustee shall act
       accordingly. Any requirement that such consent, decision or
       determination must be reasonable or that the Agent or the Security
       Trustee is to "act reasonably" is to be construed as an obligation on
       the Lenders granting such consent or making such a decision or
       determination and not as an individual obligation binding on the Agent
       in that capacity. The Agent's duties under the Finance Documents are
       solely mechanical and administrative in nature.

23.4   Exoneration

       Despite anything to the contrary expressed or implied in this
       Agreement, none of the Agent, the Security Trustee, the Co-ordinating
       Arrangers or the Lenders shall:

       (A)    be bound to enquire as to:

              (1)    whether or not any representation or warranty made by the
                     Borrower under or in connection with any Finance Document
                     is true;

              (2)    the occurrence or otherwise of any Event of Default or
                     Default;

              (3)    the performance by the Borrower of its obligations under
                     any Finance Document;

              (4)    any breach or default by the Borrower of or under its
                     obligations under any Finance Document;

       (B)    be bound to account to any Finance Party for any fee or other sum
              or the profit element of any sum received by it for its own
              account;

       (C)    be bound to disclose to any other person any information relating
              to any member of the Group if such disclosure would or might in
              its opinion constitute a breach of any law or regulation or be
              otherwise actionable at the suit of any person;

       (D)    be under any fiduciary or other duty towards any Finance Party or
              under any obligations (including any liability to hold any money
              paid to it on trust or be liable to account for interest on such
              money) other than those expressly provided for in clause 28.2
              (Recoveries to be held on trust) of this Agreement;

       (E)    be liable or responsible (in the absence of its own gross
              negligence or wilful default):

              (1)    for any failure, omission, or defect in the due execution,
                     delivery, validity, legality, adequacy, performance,
                     enforceability, or admissibility in evidence of any
                     Finance Document or any communication, report or other
                     document delivered under any Finance Document; or

              (2)    in respect of its exercise or failure to exercise any of
                     its powers and duties under any Finance Document; or

              (3)    for the collectability of any sums payable under any
                     Finance Documents; or

              (4)    for any recital, statement, representation or warranty
                     made by any Borrower

                                      54
<PAGE>

                     Group Company or any officer thereof, contained in any
                     Finance Document, or in any certificate, report, statement
                     or other document referred to or provided for in, or
                     received by it under or in connection with any Finance
                     Document; or

              (5)    for the supervision of any person to whom it has delegated
                     any trusts, powers, authorities or discretions vested in
                     it or (in the absence of gross negligence or wilful
                     default by the Security Trustee or the Agent as the case
                     may be) be in any way liable for any loss incurred through
                     the misconduct or default of such delegate;

       (F)    be under any obligations other than those expressly provided for
              in this Agreement and shall have no liability or responsibility
              of any kind to:

              (1)    the Borrower arising out of or in relation to any failure
                     or delay in the performance or breach by any Finance Party
                     (other than itself) of any of its obligations under any
                     Finance Document; or

              (2)    any Finance Party arising out of or in relation to any
                     failure or delay in the performance or breach by the
                     Borrower of any of its obligations under any Finance
                     Document; or

       (G)    be liable in any manner and each of them shall be fully protected
              if it acts in accordance with the instructions of the Majority
              Lenders in connection with the exercise of any right, power or
              discretion or any matter not expressly provided for in the
              Finance Documents. Any such instructions given by the Majority
              Lenders will be binding on all the Finance Parties. In the
              absence of such instructions the Agent or the Security Trustee
              may act as they consider to be in the best interests of all the
              Finance Parties and in so doing shall be fully protected.

23.5   Lenders' indemnity

       Each Lender shall, on demand by the Agent or the Security Trustee,
       indemnify the Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Trustee,
       against any and all fees (to the extent properly chargeable by the
       Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Trustee under any Finance
       Document but not promptly recovered from the Borrower), costs, claims
       and expenses and liabilities which the Agent or, as the case may be,
       the Security Trustee may pay or incur (otherwise than by reason of its
       own gross negligence or wilful misconduct) in acting in its capacity
       as agent or security trustee for the Finance Parties. The cost of
       indemnifying the Agent and the Security Trustee shall be borne by the
       Lenders in the proportions determined in accordance with the
       definition of Majority Lenders. If a Lender (referred to in this
       clause 23.5 as a "defaulting Lender") fails to pay its due
       contribution under this indemnity, then the Agent or, as the case may
       be, the Security Trustee may (without prejudice to its other rights
       and remedies) deduct the amount due from the defaulting Lender from
       any sums which are then or afterwards in its possession which would
       otherwise be payable to the defaulting Lender.

23.6   Disclaimer

       The Agent, the Security Trustee, the Co-ordinating Arrangers and the
       Lenders accept no responsibility to any other Finance Party for the
       accuracy and/or completeness of any information supplied in connection
       with any Finance Document or for the legality, validity,
       effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of any Finance Document and
       the Agent, the

                                      55
<PAGE>

       Security Trustee, the Co-ordinating Arrangers and the Lenders shall be
       under no liability to any other Finance Party as a result of taking or
       omitting to take any action in relation to any Finance Document (except
       in the case of its gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Agent,
       the Security Trustee, the Co-ordinating Arrangers or the Lenders (as the
       case may be)).

23.7   No actions against individuals

       Each of the Finance Parties agree that it will not assert or seek to
       assert against any director, officer or employee of any other Finance
       Party any claim it may have against any of them in respect of the
       matters referred to in this clause 23 and such directors, officers or
       employees may rely on this clause.

23.8   Credit appraisals

       It is agreed by each Finance Party that it has itself been, and will
       continue to be, solely responsible for making its own independent
       appraisal of and investigations into the financial condition,
       creditworthiness, condition, affairs, status and nature of each member
       of the Group, and, accordingly, each Lender confirms to each other
       Finance Party that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any other
       Finance Party:

       (A)    to check or enquire on its behalf into the adequacy, accuracy or
              completeness of any information provided by or on behalf of any
              member of the Group in connection with any Finance Document
              and/or the transactions contemplated in the Finance Documents
              (whether or not such information has been or is after the date of
              this Agreement circulated to such Lender by another Finance
              Party); or

       (B)    to assess or keep under review on its behalf the financial
              condition, creditworthiness, condition, affairs, status or nature
              of any member of the Group.

       Each Lender acknowledges that none of the Agent-Related Persons has
       made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the
       Agent taken in the future, including any review of the affairs of the
       Group, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by
       the Agent or any Agent-Related Person to any Lender.

23.9   Extensions of protection to Agent-Related Persons

       (A)    All the provisions of this clause 23 and of any other provision
              of this Agreement protecting or limiting the liability of an
              Agent, or exonerating it from liability or responsibility, which
              may enure to the benefit of an Agent shall also be deemed to be
              given for the benefit of the Security Trustee, the Co-ordinating
              Arrangers, the Senior Lead Arrangers and all Agent-Related
              Persons to whom they are capable of relating or in respect of
              whom they are capable of taking effect.

       (B)    For the avoidance of doubt, the guarantee, indemnity,
              exonerations and other protections in favour of the Agent, the
              Security Trustee, the Co-ordinating Arrangers, the Lenders and
              the Agent-Related Persons contained in this Agreement and the
              other Finance Documents shall take effect in respect of all
              events, action and omissions occurring before the execution and
              completion of this Agreement as well as events, actions and
              omissions occurring on or after its execution and completion.

                                      56

23.10  No duties

       Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the Co-ordinating
       Arrangers and the Lenders have no duties or responsibilities under or
       in connection with any Finance Document.

23.11  Foreign security

       In relation to any Security Document governed by a law other than Hong
       Kong law each Finance Party:

       (A)    shall execute and deliver any Security Document which, under
              applicable law, cannot be entered into by the Security Trustee on
              its behalf, for example, because the security constituted by the
              Security Document must be entered into by it as creditor having a
              pro rata claim of the claims secured thereby;

       (B)    grants the Security Trustee power of representation in relation
              to the execution, enforcement and administration of the Security
              Documents; and

       (C)    shall enter into such notarial deeds or other deeds or documents
              as are required under any applicable law relating to the security
              constituted by the Security Documents to enable the Agent and the
              Security Trustee or another attorney-in-fact to execute any
              Security Document on such Finance Party's behalf and administer
              and enforce such security.

23.12  Security Trustee

       (A)    The Security Trustee hereby declares that during the period
              ending on the earlier of the last day of the period of 80 years
              from the date of this Agreement and the date that the Security
              Trustee releases the trust property held by it unconditionally it
              shall hold the trust property as trustee upon trust for the
              Finance Parties from time to time and the obligations, rights and
              benefits vested or to be vested in the Security Trustee by the
              Finance Documents or any document entered into pursuant thereto
              shall (as well after as before enforcement) be performed and (as
              the case may be) exercised in accordance with this Agreement.

       (B)    The Borrower and each of the Finance Parties agree that the
              Security Trustee shall be the joint creditor (together with the
              relevant Finance Party) of each and every obligation of the
              Borrower towards each of the Finance Parties under this
              Agreement, and that accordingly the Security Trustee will have
              its own independent right to demand performance by the Borrower
              of those obligations. However, any discharge of any such
              obligation to one of the Security Trustee or the relevant Finance
              Party shall, to the same extent, discharge the corresponding
              obligation owing to the other.

       (C)    Without limiting or affecting the Security Trustee's rights
              (under any of the Finance Documents against the Borrower or to
              act in the protection or preservation of rights under or to
              enforce any Security Document or to do any act reasonably
              incidental to any of the foregoing), the Security Trustee agrees
              with each other Finance Party severally that it will not exercise
              its rights as a joint creditor with a Finance Party.

                                      57

23.13  Accession Deeds and Subordination Deeds

       Each Lender:

       (A)    expressly authorises each of the Agent and/or the Security
              Trustee to execute on its behalf the US$260 Million Subordinated
              Loan Accession Deed and the US$450 Million Subordinated Loan
              Accession Deed, any Group Subordination Deed and any Third Party
              Subordination Deed and to undertake the obligations thereunder;

       (B)    agrees to take all and any steps necessary to enable each of the
              Agent and/or the Security Trustee to comply with its obligations
              under the documents referred to in paragraph (A) above; and

       (C)    agrees not to take or omit to take any action which could result
              in the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee being in breach of
              any of their obligations thereunder.

24.    AMENDMENTS AND DECISIONS

24.1   Majority Lender decisions

       Except as provided in clause 24.2 (Unanimous Consent), with the prior
       written consent of the Majority Lenders, the Agent (or as the case may
       be, the Security Trustee) and the Borrower may from time to time enter
       into written amendments, supplements or modifications to the Finance
       Documents (however fundamental) for the purpose of adding any
       provisions to the Finance Documents or changing in any manner the
       rights and/or obligations of all or any of the Parent, the Borrower,
       the Agent and the Lenders, and:

              terms and conditions as the Agent (or as the case may be, the
              Security Trustee) may specify in such instrument, any of the
              requirements of any of the Finance Documents;

       (B)    the Agent (or as the case may be, the Security Trustee) may

       (C)    the Agent (or as the case may be, the Security Trustee) may

              permitted by this clause; and/or

       (D)    the Agent (or as the case may be, the Security Trustee) shall
              promptly notify the other Parties of any amendment or waiver
              effected under this clause and any such amendment or waiver shall
              be binding on all the parties.

24.2   Unanimous consent

       (A)    An amendment or waiver that has the effect of changing or which
              relates to:

              (1)    an increase or decrease in the amount of any Loan or a
                     lengthening or shortening of any Availability Period or
                     any amendment to the definition of the Final Repayment
                     Date; or

<PAGE>

                     owing to any of the Lenders hereunder; or

              (3)    any provision relating to voluntary or mandatory
                     prepayment or scheduled payment of principal or interest;
                     or

              (4)    the definition of Majority Lenders or this clause; or

              (5)    any release of a Security Document or any amendment,
                     waiver, discharge or termination which would prejudice the
                     Lenders' position under the Security Documents; or

              (6)    the provisions of clause 26 (Sharing Among Lenders); or

              shall not be made without the prior written consent of all of the
              Lenders.

       (B)    Regardless of any other provision in this Agreement, no amendment
              shall be effective without the consent of the Agent, the
              Co-ordinating Arrangers, the Lenders or as the case may be, the
              Security Trustee, where any such waiver, amendment, supplement or
              modification if it would otherwise amend, modify or waive any of
              the rights of the Agent, the Co-ordinating Arrangers, the Lenders
              or as the case may be, the Security Trustee under any of the
              Finance Documents or subject any of them to any additional
              obligations under such documents or amend any amount payable to
              them.

24.3   Costs

       If the Borrower requests any amendment, supplement, modification or
       waiver under clause 24.1 (Majority Lender decisions), or clause 24.2
       (Unanimous Consent) then the Borrower shall, within five Business Days
       of demand by the Agent, reimburse the Agent for the account of itself
       and/or the respective party for all costs and expenses (including,
       without limitation, reasonable legal fees), incurred by any of the
       Agent or the Security Trustee in the negotiation, preparation and
       execution of any written instrument contemplated by clause 24.1
       (Majority Lender decisions) or clause 24.2 (Unanimous Consent).

24.4   Administrative determinations

       The Agent may determine purely administrative matters without reference
       to the Lenders.

24.5   Prior notice

       Where this Agreement provides for any matter to be determined by
       reference to the

                                      59
<PAGE>

       opinion of the Majority Lenders or to be subject to the consent or
       request of the Majority Lenders or for any action to be taken on the
       instructions of the Majority Lenders, such opinion, consent, request or
       instructions shall only be regarded as having been validly given or
       issued by the Majority Lenders if all the Lenders have been given three
       Business Days' prior notice of the matter on which such opinion,
       consent, request or instructions is sought but so that the Borrower
       shall be entitled (and bound), if so informed by the Agent, to assume
       that such notice has been duly received by each Lender and that the
       relevant majority has been obtained to constitute Majority Lenders
       whether or not this is the case.

24.6   Meaning of all Lenders

       Where this Agreement or any other Finance Document, provides for any
       matter to be determined by reference to the opinion of, or to be
       subject to the consent of or request of all of the Lenders or the
       Lenders acting unanimously or for any action to be taken on the
       instruction of all the Lenders, such opinion, consent, request or
       instructions shall (as between the Lenders) only be regarded as having
       been validly given or issued by all the Lenders (or the Lenders acting
       unanimously) if all the Lenders shall have received prior notice (the
       "Agent's Notice") of such matter containing a request for written
       instructions from such Lender to be received by the Agent or, as the
       case may be, the Security Trustee within ten Business Days of the
       receipt of the Agent's Notice. If, in respect of a Lender, the Agent
       or the Security Trustee, as appropriate:

       (A)    shall not have received written instructions in respect of such
              matter from such Lender; and

       (B)    the Agent or the Security Trustee shall have received written
              instructions in respect of such matter from Lenders constituting
              the Majority Lenders,

       in each case within such time period, such Lender shall be deemed to
       have renounced and waived its right to make any such determination,
       approval, consent or provide instructions to the Agent or the Security
       Trustee in respect of such matter; shall not have any rights, recourse
       or remedy against the Agent or the Security Trustee in respect of such
       matter; and shall be bound (as shall the Borrower) by the
       determination, approval, consent or instructions of the other Lenders
       in respect of such matter. If the Agent gives written notice to the
       Borrower or any other Group Company that such unanimous consent has
       been obtained from all of the Lenders then the Borrower shall be
       entitled to assume that all the Lenders acted unanimously.

24.7   Lenders to act reasonably

       If any provision of any Finance Document is made subject to or
       requires the consent of the Agent (or as the case may be, the Security
       Trustee) and the Agent (or as the case may be, the Security Trustee)
       is required by such Finance Document to act reasonably when
       considering whether its consent should be granted, each of the Lenders
       agrees to act reasonably when the Agent (or as the case may be, the
       Security Trustee) seeks its instructions in respect of the granting of
       such consent.

25.    RETIREMENT OF AGENT AND SECURITY TRUSTEE

25.1   Notice of resignation

       Subject to this clause 25, any of the Agent or the Security Trustee
       may (and, at the request of the Majority Lenders shall) give notice of
       its wish to resign at any time by giving

                                      60
<PAGE>

       at least 30 days' prior written notice to the Borrower and the other
       Finance Parties and, in the case of the resignation of the Security
       Trustee, any other beneficiary under the Security Documents.

25.2   Appointment of successor

       If the Agent or the Security Trustee gives notice under clause 25.1
       (Notice of resignation), then the Majority Lenders, after consultation
       with the Borrower, may in writing appoint a successor with an office
       in Hong Kong. If no such successor is appointed or has not accepted
       office within 30 days of the date of service of the notice of
       resignation as replacement Agent or Security Trustee (as the case may
       be) the Agent or the Security Trustee (as the case may be) may, after
       consultation with the Borrower, appoint a successor for itself.

25.3   Provisions relating to successor

       (A)    Upon such appointment in writing and after execution by such
              successor of such documents as may be necessary to transfer and
              vest in the new Agent or Security Trustee (as the case may be)
              all the rights and obligations of the retiring Agent or Security
              Trustee (as the case may be), the retiring Agent or Security
              Trustee (as the case may be) shall be discharged from any further
              obligations (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, from any
              liability which such party shall have actually incurred at the
              date of such retirement) under the Finance Documents (but shall
              remain entitled to the benefit of clause 23 (Agent and Security
              Trustee)) and 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 to
              the Finance Documents; and

       (B)    the costs, charges and expenses of the resigning Agent or
              Security Trustee shall be discharged if recoverable under the
              provisions of this Agreement.

25.4   Transfer to Affiliates

       Notwithstanding the above, the Agent and the Security Trustee may
       transfer their roles to an Affiliate of the Agent and the Security
       Trustee without the need to obtain the consent of the Finance Parties,
       provided that the Agent and the Security Trustee give at least 30 days
       notice of such transfer to the Borrower and the Finance Parties.

26.    SHARING AMONG LENDERS

26.1   Payments to Lenders

       If a Lender (a "Recovering Lender") receives or recovers any amount
       from the Borrower other than in accordance with clause 27 (Payment
       mechanics) and applies that amount to a payment due under the Finance
       Documents then:

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

       (B)    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 27 (Payment mechanics),
              without taking account of any Tax which would be imposed

              distribution; and

       (C)    the Recovering Lender shall, within three 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 27.5
              (Partial payments).

26.2   Redistribution of payments

       The Agent shall treat the Sharing Payment as if it had been paid by
       the Borrower and distribute it between the Finance Parties (other than
       the Recovering Lender) in accordance with clause 27.5 (Partial
       payments).

26.3   Recovering Lender's rights

       (A)    On a distribution by the Agent under clause 26.2 (Redistribution
              of payments), the Recovering Lender will be subrogated to the
              rights of the Finance Parties which have shared in the
              redistribution.

       (B)    If and to the extent that the Recovering Lender is not able to
              rely on its rights under paragraph (A) above, the Borrower shall
              be liable to the Recovering Lender for a debt equal to the
              Sharing Payment which is immediately due and payable.

26.4   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:

       (A)    each Lender which has received a share of the relevant Sharing
              Payment pursuant to clause 26.2 (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

       (B)    that Recovering Lender's rights of subrogation in respect of any
              reimbursement shall be cancelled and the Borrower will be liable
              to the reimbursing Lender for the amount so reimbursed.

26.5   Exceptions

       (A)    This clause 26 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 Borrower.

       (B)    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:

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

              (2)    the other Lender had an opportunity to participate in
                     those legal or arbitration

                                      62
<PAGE>

                     proceedings but did not do so as soon as reasonably
                     practicable having received notice or did not take
                     separate legal or arbitration proceedings.

                     pay that sum to that other party (or to enter into or
                     perform any related exchange contract) until it has been
                     able to establish to its satisfaction that it has actually
                     received that sum.

              (B)    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 (or the

       clause 23.5 (Lenders' indemnity)) to the extent practicable use all

32.    CALCULATIONS AND CERTIFICATES

32.1   Accounts

       In any litigation or arbitration proceedings arising out of or in

       maintained by a Finance Party are prima facie evidence of the matters
       to which they relate.

32.2   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. Each
       Finance Party in making any certification or determination shall act
       in good faith.

32.3   Day count convention

       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

       such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction will in any way
       be affected or impaired.

       No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part 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.

35.    COUNTERPARTS

       Each Finance Document may be executed in any number of counterparts,
       and this has the same effect as if the signatures on the counterparts
       were on a single copy of the Finance Document.

       (B)    The Parties agree that the courts of Hong Kong are the most
              appropriate and convenient courts to settle Disputes and

              proceedings relating to a Dispute in any other courts with
              jurisdiction. To the extent allowed by law, the Finance Parties
