      DBS Bank shall be entitled to cancel or reduce the amount of the Loan and
      require repayment of all or any part of the sums owing from the Borrower
      or vary the rate of interest payable by the Borrower in respect of all or
      any part of the Loan or make any other variations to any terms and

      of payment of property tax, maintenance fees and other outgoings in
      respect of the Property as and when such payments have been made or upon
      demand.

21    ADEQUATE SECURITY MARGIN

      If the market value of the security created over the Property to secure
      the Loan and, if applicable, the Borrower's Central Provident Fund or
      Academic Staff Provident Fund with withdrawals (as the case may be) falls
      below what DBS Bank, in its sole opinion, considers to be an adequate

      other right which DBS Bank may have, to reduce the

      herein is to be construed as limiting any of those other rights.

30    GOVERNING LAW

      30.1     These Terms and Conditions and all matters relating to the Loan
               shall be governed by the laws of Singapore and the Borrower and

               served on the Borrower immediately, if so left, or on the day
               immediately following the date of despatch, if sent by post (and
               the Borrower agrees that the Borrower shall be deemed to have
               adequate and sufficient notice of such process).
