Finance Party under this Clause is not recoverable from the Guarantor on the basis of a
guarantee then the Guarantor will be liable as a principal debtor and primary obligor
to indemnify that Finance Party in respect of any loss it incurs as a result of any
Obligor failing to pay any amount expressed to be payable by it under a Finance
Document on the date when it ought to have been paid. The amount payable by the

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

	2.3	 	Reinstatement
	 
	(a)	 	If any discharge (whether in respect of the obligations of any Obligor or any security for
those obligations or otherwise) or arrangement is made in whole or in part on the faith of any
payment, security or other disposition which is avoided or must be restored on insolvency,

under this Clause will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge or arrangement had not
occurred.

disposition is liable to avoidance or restoration.
	 
	2.4	 	Waiver of defences
	 
	 	 	The obligations of the Guarantor under this Clause will not be affected by any act,
omission or thing (whether or not known to it or any Finance Party) which, but for this
provision, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Clause.
This includes:

	 	(a)	 	any time or waiver granted to, or composition with, any person;
	 
	 	(b)	 	any release of any person under the terms of any composition or arrangement;
	 
	 	(c)	 	the taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release of, or refusal

	2.5	 	Immediate recourse

	(a)	 	The Guarantor waives any right it may have of first requiring any Finance Party (or any
trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other right or security or
claim payment from any person before claiming from the Guarantor under this Clause.
	 
	(b)	 	This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Finance Document to the
contrary.
	 
	2.6	 	Appropriations
	 
	 	 	Until all amounts which may be or become payable by any Obligor under the Finance
Documents have been irrevocably paid in full, each Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on
its behalf) may without affecting the liability of the Guarantor under this Clause:

	 	(a)	 	(i)   refrain from applying or enforcing any other moneys, security or rights
held or received by that Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) against
those amounts; or

	 	(ii)	apply and enforce them in such manner and order as it sees fit
(whether against those amounts or otherwise); and

	 	(b)	 	hold in a suspense account any moneys received from the Guarantor or on account
of the Guarantor’s liability under this Clause.

	2.7	 	Non-competition
	 
	 	 	Unless:

	 	(a)	 	all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under or in
connection with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid in full; or
	 
	 	(b)	 	GSD otherwise directs,

the Guarantor will not, after a claim has been made or by virtue of any payment or
performance by it under this Clause:

	 	(i)	 	be subrogated to any rights, security or moneys held, received or receivable by
any Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf);
	 
	 	(ii)	 	be entitled to any right of contribution or indemnity in respect of any payment
made or moneys received on account of the Guarantor’s liability under this Clause;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	claim, rank, prove or vote as a creditor of any Obligor or its estate in
competition with any Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf); or
	 
	 	(iv)	 	receive, claim or have the benefit of any payment, distribution or security
from or on account of any Obligor, or exercise any right of set-off as against any
Obligor.

The Guarantor must hold in trust for and immediately pay or transfer to GSD for the
Finance Parties any payment or distribution or benefit of security received by it contrary
to this Clause or in accordance with any directions given by GSD under this Clause.

14

 

	2.8	 	Additional security
	 
	 	 	This guarantee is in addition to and is not in any way prejudiced by any other
guarantee or security now or subsequently held by any Finance Party.
	 
	2.9	 	Commitment Fee
	 
	 	 	Without limiting the generality of Clause 2, the Guarantor agrees as an independent
obligation, in the event the Borrower fails to pay within 5 Business Days upon first demand
any amount of Commitment Fee under the Credit Agreement, it shall within 5 Business Days
upon demand by the Lender pay that amount as if it were the principal obligor in respect of
that amount and indemnify the Lender against any loss or liability which that Finance Party
incurs as a consequence of any such non-payment.
	 
	3.	 	NATURE OF A FINANCE PARTY’S OBLIGATIONS
	 
	 	 	Unless all the Finance Parties agree otherwise:

	 	(a)	 	the obligations of a Finance Party under the Finance Documents are several;
	 
	 	(b)	 	failure by a Finance Party to perform its obligations does not affect the
obligations of any other Party under the Finance Documents;
	 
	 	(c)	 	no Finance Party is responsible for the obligations of any other Finance Party
under the Finance Documents;
	 
	 	(d)	 	the rights of a Finance Party under the Finance Documents are separate and

independent debt.

repayment).
	 
	 	 	VAT means value added tax or any other tax of a similar nature whether of Hong Kong or

	4.2	 	Tax gross-up
	 
	(a)	 	The Guarantor shall, and the Guarantor shall procure that each Obligor will, make all
payments to be made by it under the Finance Documents without any Tax Deduction, unless a Tax
Deduction is required by law.

15

 

	(b)	 	If any Obligor or the Lender is aware that it must make a Tax Deduction (or that there is a
change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction), the Guarantor shall, and the Guarantor
shall procure that the relevant Obligor will, promptly notify the affected Parties.
	 
	(c)	 	If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by any Obligor, the amount of the payment
due from any Obligor will be increased to an amount which (after making the Tax Deduction)
leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been
required.
	 
	(d)	 	If any Obligor is required to make a Tax Deduction, the Guarantor shall, and the Guarantor
shall procure that the relevant Obligor will, make the minimum Tax Deduction and make any
payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed by law.
	 
	(e)	 	Within 30 days of making either a Tax Deduction or a payment required in connection with a
Tax Deduction, the Guarantor shall, and the Guarantor shall procure that the relevant Obligor
will, deliver to the relevant Finance Party evidence satisfactory to that Finance Party
(acting reasonably) that the Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) the appropriate
payment has been paid to the relevant taxing authority.
	 
	4.3	 	Tax Credit
	 
	 	 	If an Obligor makes a Tax Payment and the relevant Finance Party (in its absolute
discretion) determines that:

	 	(a)	 	a Tax Credit is attributable either to an increased payment of which that Tax
Payment forms part, or to that Tax Payment; and
	 
	 	(b)	 	it has used and retained that Tax Credit,

the Finance Party must pay an amount to the relevant Obligor which that Finance Party
determines (in its absolute discretion) will leave it (after that payment) in the same
after-Tax position as it would have been in if the Tax Payment had not been made by the
Guarantor.

	4.4	 	Value added taxes
	 
	(a)	 	All amounts set out, or expressed to be payable under a Finance Document by any Party to a
Finance Party which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for VAT purposes are
deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on that supply, and accordingly, subject
to paragraph (c) below, if VAT is chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party to any
Party under a Finance Document, that Party must pay to the Finance Party (in addition to and
at the same time as paying the consideration) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and
such Finance Party must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to that Party).
	 
	(b)	 	If VAT is chargeable by reference to any supply made by any Finance Party (the Supplier) to
any other Finance Party (the Recipient) under a Finance Document, and any Party (the Relevant
Party) is required by the terms of any Finance Document to pay an amount equal to the
consideration for that supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse the
Recipient in respect of that consideration), the relevant Party must also pay to the Supplier
(in addition to and at the same time
as paying that amount) an amount equal to the amount of VAT. The Recipient must promptly
pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment from the relevant tax
authority which it reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply.
	 
	(c)	 	Where a Finance Document requires any Party to reimburse a Finance Party for any costs or
expenses, that Party must also at the same time pay and indemnify the Finance Party against
all VAT 

16

 

	 	 	incurred by the Finance Party in respect of those costs or expenses but only to the
extent that the Finance Party (reasonably) determines that neither it nor any other member of
any group of which it is a member for VAT purposes is entitled to credit or repayment from the
relevant tax authority in respect of the VAT.

available to that Party a corresponding amount. If it transpires that the sum has not been
received by GSD, that Party must immediately on demand by GSD refund any corresponding amount
made available to it together with interest on that amount from the date of payment to the
date of receipt by GSD at a rate calculated by GSD to reflect its cost of funds.

practice.
	 
	(b)	 	During any extension of the due date for payment of any principal under this Agreement
interest is payable on that principal at the rate payable on the original due date.
	 
	5.7	 	Partial payments
	 
	(a)	 	If GSD receives a payment insufficient to discharge all the amounts then due and payable by
the Obligors under the Finance Documents, GSD must apply that payment towards the obligations

Finance Parties under the Finance Documents in the order in which such fees, costs and
expenses have been incurred;

different currencies, the Finance

55

 

	 	 	Party may convert either obligation at a market rate of exchange in its usual course of
business for the purpose of the set-off.

	18.	 	PRO RATA SHARING
	 
	18.1	 	Redistribution
	 
	 	 	If a Finance Party (the recovering Finance Party) receives or recovers any amount from
any Obligor other than in accordance with this Agreement (a recovery) and applies that
amount to a payment due under a Finance Document, then:

	 	(a)	 	the recovering Finance Party must, within three Business Days, supply details
of the recovery to the Lender;
	 
	 	(b)	 	the Lender must calculate whether the recovery is in excess of the amount which
the recovering Finance Party would have received if the recovery had been received and
distributed by the Lender in accordance with the Finance Documents without taking
account of any Tax which would be imposed on the Lender in relation to the recovery or
distribution; and
	 
	 	(c)	 	the recovering Finance Party must pay to the Lender an amount equal to the
excess (the redistribution).

	18.2	 	Effect of redistribution
	 
	(a)	 	The Lender must treat a redistribution as if it were a payment by the relevant Obligor under
this Agreement and distribute it among the Finance Parties, other than the recovering Finance
Party, accordingly.
	 
	(b)	 	When the Lender makes a distribution under paragraph (a) above, the recovering Finance Party
will be subrogated to the rights of the Finance Parties which have shared in that
redistribution.
	 
	(c)	 	If and to the extent that the recovering Finance Party is not able to rely on any rights of
subrogation under paragraph (b) above, the relevant Obligor will owe the recovering Finance
Party a debt which is equal to the redistribution, immediately payable and of the type
originally discharged.
	 
	(d)	 	If:

	 	(i)	 	a recovering Finance Party must subsequently return a recovery, or an amount
measured by reference to a recovery, to the relevant Obligor; and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	the recovering Finance Party has paid a redistribution in relation to that
recovery,

	 	 	each Finance Party, on the request of the Lender must reimburse the recovering Finance
Party all or the appropriate portion of the redistribution paid to that Finance Party,
together with interest for the period while it held the redistribution. In this event, the
subrogation in paragraph (b) above will operate in reverse to the extent of the
reimbursement.
	 
	18.3	 	Exceptions
	 
	 	 	Notwithstanding any other term of this Clause, a recovering Finance Party need not pay
a redistribution to the extent that:

56

 

	 	(a)	 	it would not, after the payment, have a valid claim against the relevant
Obligor in the amount of the redistribution; or
	 
	 	(b)	 	it would be sharing with another Finance Party any amount which the recovering
Finance Party has received or recovered as a result of legal or arbitration
proceedings, where:

	 	(i)	 	the recovering Finance Party notified the Lender of those
proceedings; and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	the other Finance Party had an opportunity to participate in
those proceedings but did not do so or did not take separate legal or
arbitration proceedings as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving notice
of them.

	19.	 	SEVERABILITY
	 
	 	 	If a term of this Agreement is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any

of this Agreement; or
