	(e)		if any Interest Period commences on the last Business Day of a calendar month or on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month one (1), two (2), three (3) or six (6) months thereafter as the case may be, that Interest Period shall, subject to paragraphs (b) and (f), end on the last Business Day of such later calendar month; and
	(f)		any Interest Period which would otherwise extend beyond a repayment date under Clause 5.1 shall instead end on that repayment date, subject to adjustment in accordance with Clause 12.5.

7.3		Selection — Term Loan. Subject to Clause 7.2, the Borrower may select the length of an Interest Period for any Term Advance or, as the case may be, the Term Loan by written notice to be received by the Facility Agent not later than 12:00 noon (Hong Kong time) on the third (3) Business Day before the start of that Interest Period, and if the Borrower does not give such a notice it shall be deemed to have selected a one (1) month Interest Period.
7.4		Interest Periods — Tranche C Advances. The Interest Period for each Tranche C Advance (other than the Final Tranche C Advance made pursuant to Clause 6.7) shall commence on the date on which the Tranche C Advance is made and end on the date one (1), two (2), three (3) or (subject to availability) six (6) months thereafter as selected by the Borrower in the relevant Notice of Drawing Provided that:

	(a)		any Interest Period which would otherwise end on a non-Business Day shall instead end on the next following Business Day or, if that Business Day is in another calendar month, on the immediately preceding Business Day;
	(b)		any Interest Period which commences on the last Business Day of a calendar month or on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month one (1), two (2), three (3) or six (6) months thereafter (as the case may be) shall, subject to paragraph (c), end on the last Business Day of such later calendar month; and
	(c)		any Interest Period which would otherwise end after the Final Repayment Date shall instead end on that date.

		For the avoidance of doubt, the Interest Period for the Final Tranche C Advance shall be determined in accordance with Clause 7.2.
7.5		Non Availability. If the Borrower selects a six (6) month Interest Period and the Facility Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding) that six (6) month deposits in the relevant amount and currency are not for the time being available in the London interbank market, the Borrower shall, subject as aforesaid, be deemed to have selected a one (1) month Interest Period.
7.6		Rate and Calculation. The rate of interest applicable to the Term Loan (or any part thereof) and to each Tranche C Advance shall be the rate per annum determined by the Facility Agent to be the aggregate of LIBOR for that Interest Period and the Margin. Interest shall accrue from day to day, shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a 360 day year, including the first day of the period during which it accrues but excluding the last, and shall be paid in arrear on each Interest Payment Date. The Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of each interest rate determined under this Clause.
8.		MARKET DISRUPTION
8.1		Market Disruption. If a Market Disruption Event (as defined below) occurs in relation to an Advance or the Term Loan for any Interest Period, then the rate of interest on each Lender’s share of that Advance or the Term Loan for the Interest Period shall be the rate per annum which is the sum of:

	(a)		the Margin; and
	(b)		the higher of (x) the rate notified to the Facility Agent by that Lender as soon as practicable and in any event before interest is due to be paid in respect of that Interest Period, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to that Lender of funding its participation in that Advance or the Term Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select and (y) in relation to a Market Disruption Event under Clause 8.2(b), LIBOR.

8.2

Market Disruption Events. In this Agreement, “Market Disruption Event” means:

	(a)		at or about 12:00 noon on the second London Business Day before the first day of the relevant Interest Period the Screen Rate is not available or the Screen Rate is zero or negative and none of the Reference Banks supplies a rate to the Facility Agent to determine LIBOR for the relevant Interest Period; or
	(b)		before close of business in London on the second London Business Day before the first day of the relevant Interest Period, the Facility Agent receives notifications from a Lender or Lenders (whose participations in a Loan exceed thirty five per cent (35%) of that Loan) that the cost to it of obtaining matching deposits in the London interbank market would be in excess of LIBOR.

8.3		Alternative Basis of Interest or Funding. If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Facility Agent or the Borrower so requires, the Facility Agent and the Borrower shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than thirty days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest. Any alternative basis so agreed above shall, with the prior consent of all the Lenders and the Borrower, be binding on all parties to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that no substitute basis is agreed at the end of the thirty day period, the rate of interest shall continue to be determined in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
9.		CHANGE OF LAW OR CIRCUMSTANCES
9.1		Unlawfulness. If it becomes, or it becomes apparent that it is or will be, unlawful or contrary to any legal requirement of any governmental, fiscal, monetary or other authority or any other requirement of any supervisory or licensing authority of any Lender for any Lender to give effect to its obligations hereunder, such Lender shall through the Facility Agent so notify the Borrower, whereupon such Lender’s outstanding Commitment shall be cancelled and its obligation to maintain its Participation in the Loan shall cease. The Borrower shall forthwith after such notification, or such longer period as such Lender may certify as being permitted by the relevant law, prepay such Lender’s Participation in the Loan in full together with interest accrued thereon to the date of prepayment and any other monies owing hereunder to such Lender.
9.2		Increased Cost. If a Lender determines that the introduction of, or any change in, any applicable law or regulation or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender with any applicable direction, request or requirement (whether or not having the force of law, and including any such direction, request or requirement which affects the manner in which such Lender of such Lender is required to or does allocate or maintain capital in support of its assets or liabilities) of any competent governmental, fiscal, monetary, or other authority does or will:

(a)

subject such Lender to any tax or other payment with reference to sums advanced or to be advanced by such Lender or payable by the Borrower under this Agreement (except (i) tax on such Lender’s overall net income in the jurisdiction of its principal office or Lending Office or (ii) as referred to in Clause 10); or

(b)

impose on such Lender any other condition the effect of which is to (i) increase the cost to such Lender participating in the Facility or (ii) reduce the amount of any payment receivable by, or the effective return to, such Lender in respect of the Facility or (iii) impose an additional cost on such Lender resulting from such Lender’s Participation in the Facility,

		such Lender may through the Facility Agent so notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall from time to time upon demand (whether or not such Lender’s Participation in the Loan has been repaid) pay to the Facility Agent for the account of such Lender such amounts as such Lender may certify in good faith to be necessary to compensate it for such tax, payment, increased cost or reduction (each an “increased cost”). Where such increased cost arises from circumstances contemplated above which affect the Lender’s business generally or the manner in which or extent to which that Lender allocates capital resources, the Lender shall be entitled to such increased cost as it determines and certifies in good faith is fairly allocable to its Participation in the Facility. Nothing in this Clause 9.2 shall require any Lender to disclose confidential information relating to the organisation of its business or the business of any Holding Company. The Borrower and the Facility Agent, in consultation with such Lender, shall discuss whether any alternative arrangement may be made to avoid such increased cost. So long as the circumstances giving rise to such increased cost continue, the Borrower may, after giving the Facility Agent not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice (which shall be irrevocable), prepay all (but not only part of) such Lender’s Participation in the Loan in accordance with Clauses 5.3 and 5.4, and upon the giving of such notice such Lender’s outstanding Commitments shall be cancelled.
10.		TAXES AND OTHER DEDUCTIONS
10.1		No Deductions or Withholdings. All sums payable by the Borrower under any Finance Documents shall be paid in full without set-off or counterclaim or any restriction or condition and free and clear of any tax or other deductions or withholdings of any nature. If the Borrower or any other person is required by any law or regulation to make any deduction or withholding (on account of tax or otherwise) from any payment for the account of any Finance Party, the Borrower shall, together with such payment, pay such additional amount as will ensure that such Finance Party receives (free and clear of any tax or other deductions or withholdings) the full amount which it would have received if no such deduction or withholding had been required. The Borrower shall promptly forward to the Facility Agent copies of official receipts or other evidence showing that the full amount of any such deduction or withholding has been paid over to the relevant taxation or other authority.
10.2		Advance Notification. If at any time the Borrower becomes aware that any such deduction, withholding or payment contemplated by Clause 10.1 is or will be required, it shall immediately notify the Facility Agent and supply all available details thereof.

11.		FEES AND EXPENSES
11.1		Commitment Fee. If the Tranche A Advance has been made under this Agreement, the Borrower shall pay to the Facility Agent for the pro rata account of the Lenders a commitment fee in respect of each Calculation Period calculated on the daily available but undrawn balance of the Facility on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a 360 day year at the rate of:

16.		DEFAULT INTEREST
16.1		Rate of Default Interest. If the Borrower fails to pay any sum payable under this Agreement when due, the following provisions shall apply:

(a)

Normal Default Interest. Subject as provided in Clause 16.1(b), the Borrower shall pay interest on such sum from and including the due date to the date of actual payment (after as well as before judgment) at the rate per annum determined by the Facility Agent to be the aggregate of:

	(i)		two per cent (2%);
	(ii)		the Margin; and
	(iii)		LIBOR (as determined by the Facility Agent on such date or dates on or after the due date for payment as the Facility Agent may select) calculated with reference to Interest Periods of the length last chosen by the Borrower under this Agreement for any purpose and such amounts as the Facility Agent, acting reasonably, considers appropriate or, if any of the circumstances described in Clause 8.2 applies, the rate from time to time certified by each respective Lender or the Facility Agent (as the case may be) to be the rate representing the cost to it of funding the unpaid sum by whatever means it considers to be appropriate.

The Facility Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the duration of each such funding period and each interest rate determined under this Clause.

(b)

Modification for Advances. Where the unpaid sum is of principal which became due and payable on a date during, but not the last day of, an Interest Period relating thereto and none of the circumstances described in Clause 8.2 apply in relation to such Interest Period, the first period selected by the Facility Agent under Clause 16.1(a) in respect of such amount shall equal the unexpired portion of the Interest Period and, for the duration of such period, there shall be substituted for the rate specified in Clause 16.1(a) the rate of two per cent (2%) above the rate calculated in accordance with (in respect of any sum in relation to the Term Loan) Clause 7.2 and (in respect of any sum in relation to a Tranche C Advance (other than the Final Tranche C Advance made pursuant to Clause 6.7) Clause 7.5 (including the Margin) and applicable to the unpaid amount immediately before it fell due.

16.2		Calculation of Default Interest. Interest at the rate or rates determined from time to time as aforesaid shall accrue from day to day, shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a 360 day year, shall be compounded at the end of each successive funding period considered appropriate by the Facility Agent for the purposes of Clause 16.1 and shall be payable from time to time on demand.
17.		INDEMNITIES, SET-OFF AND PRO RATA SHARING
17.1		General Indemnity. The Borrower shall indemnify each Finance Party against all losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses which such Finance Party may incur as a consequence of the information produced or approved by the Borrower being or being alleged to be misleading or deceptive in any respect or any Event of Default or any other breach by the Borrower of any of its obligations under any Finance Document to which it is a party.
17.2		Currency Indemnity. US Dollars shall be the currency of account and of payment in respect of sums payable under the Finance Documents. If an amount is received in another currency, pursuant to a judgment or order or in the liquidation of the Borrower or otherwise, the Borrower’s obligations under the Finance Documents to which it is a party shall be discharged only to the extent that the Finance Parties may purchase US Dollars with such other currency in accordance with normal banking procedures upon receipt of such amount. If the amount in US Dollars which may be so purchased, after deducting any costs of exchange and any other related costs, is less than the relevant sum payable under the relevant Finance Document, the Borrower shall indemnify the Finance Parties against the shortfall. This indemnity shall be an obligation of the Borrower independent of and in addition to its other obligations under the Finance Documents and shall take effect notwithstanding any time or other concession granted to the Borrower or any judgment or order being obtained or the filing of any claim in the liquidation, dissolution or bankruptcy (or analogous process) of the Borrower.
17.3		Set-Off. During the continuance of an Event of Default each Finance Party shall have the right, without notice to the Borrower or any other person, to set off and apply any credit balance on any account (whether subject to notice or not and whether matured or not and in whatever currency) of the Borrower with such Finance Party, and any other indebtedness owing by such Finance Party to the Borrower, against the

		liabilities of the Borrower under the Finance Documents to which it is a party, and each Finance Party is authorised to purchase with the monies standing to the credit of any such account such other currencies as may be necessary for this purpose. Each Finance Party (other than the Facility Agent) shall forthwith notify the Facility Agent of the exercise of any right under this Clause, and forthwith upon receiving such notice the Facility Agent shall notify the Borrower of the same.
17.4		Pro Rata Sharing. If a Finance Party (a “Recovering Finance Party”) receives or recovers any amount from the Borrower or otherwise in respect of sums due from the Borrower (other than in accordance with Clause 12.2 or the terms of any Fee Letter) and applies that amount to a payment due under the Finance Documents then:

	(a)		the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three (3) Business Days, notify details of the receipt or recovery, to the Facility Agent;
	(b)		the Facility Agent shall determine whether the receipt or recovery is in excess of the amount the Recovering Finance Party would have been paid had the receipt or recovery been received or made by the Facility Agent and distributed in accordance with Clause 12.2 or the terms of the relevant Fee Letter, without taking account of any tax which would be imposed on the Facility Agent in relation to the receipt, recovery or distribution; and
	(c)		the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three (3) Business Days of demand by the Facility Agent, pay to the Facility Agent an amount (the “Sharing Payment”) equal to such receipt or recovery less any amount which the Facility Agent determines may be retained by the Recovering Finance Party as its share of any payment to be made, in accordance with this Clause 17.4.

The Facility 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 Finance Party) in accordance with this Clause 17.4. On a distribution by the Facility Agent under this Clause 17.4, the Recovering Finance Party will be subrogated to the rights of the Finance Parties which have shared in the redistribution. If and to the extent that the Recovering Finance Party is not able to rely on its rights of subrogation, the Borrower shall be liable to the Recovering Finance Party for a debt equal to the Sharing Payment which is immediately due and payable. If any part of the Sharing Payment received or recovered by a Recovering Finance Party becomes repayable and is repaid by that Recovering Finance Party, then:

	(i)		each Finance Party which has received a share of the relevant Sharing Payment pursuant to this Clause 17.4 shall, upon request of the Facility Agent, pay to the Facility Agent for the account of that Recovering Finance Party an amount equal to the appropriate part of its share of the Sharing Payment (together with an amount as is necessary to reimburse that Recovering Finance Party for its proportion of any interest on the Sharing Payment which that Recovering Finance Party is required to pay); and
	(ii)		that Recovering Finance Party’s rights of subrogation in respect of any reimbursement shall be cancelled and the Borrower will be liable to the reimbursing Finance Party for the amount so reimbursed.

		This Clause 17.4 shall not apply to the extent that the Recovering Finance Party would not, after making any payment pursuant to this Clause, have a valid and enforceable claim against the Borrower. A Recovering Finance Party is not obliged to share with any other Finance Party any amount which the Recovering Finance Party has received or recovered as a result of taking legal or arbitration proceedings, if it notified that other Finance Party of the legal or arbitration proceedings and that other Finance Party had an opportunity to participate in those legal or arbitration proceedings but did not do so as soon as reasonably practicable having received notice and did not take separate legal or arbitration proceedings.
17.5		No Encumbrance. Clause 17.4 shall not constitute and shall not be construed as constituting an Encumbrance by any Lender over all or any part of any sum received or recovered by it in the manner set out in Clause 17.4.
18.		THE FINANCE PARTIES

	(c)		unless provided otherwise in any Security Document to which it is a party, monies which are received by the Offshore Security Agent or the Onshore Security Agent and held by it as trustee in relation to any of the Security Documents to which it is a party may be invested in its name or under its control in any investment authorised by Hong Kong law for the investment of trust money by trustees or in any other investments which may be selected by it, and if not otherwise invested such monies may be placed on deposit in its name or under its control at such bank or institution (including the Offshore Security Agent or the Onshore Security Agent) and upon such terms as it may think fit;
	(d)		each of the Finance Parties (other than the Offshore Security Agent) authorises the Offshore Security Agent (by itself or by such person(s) as it may nominate) to execute and enforce the Security Documents to which it is a party as trustee, as agent or as otherwise provided, and confirms that the Offshore Security Agent shall have an independent right to release from any Security Document to which it is a party any asset permitted to be disposed of under this Agreement or the relevant Security Document and authorises the Offshore Security Agent to execute any document which is reasonably required to achieve the release of any property or asset subject to the relevant Security Document to which it is a party as permitted or required by the terms of this Agreement or the relevant Security Document;
	(e)		each of the Finance Parties (other than the Onshore Security Agent) authorises the Onshore Security Agent (by itself or by such person(s) as it may nominate) to execute and enforce the Security Documents to which it is a party as agent or as otherwise provided, and confirms that the Onshore Security Agent shall have an independent right to release from any Security Document to which it is a party any asset permitted to be disposed of under the relevant Security Document and authorises the Onshore Security Agent to execute any document which is reasonably required to achieve the release of any property or asset subject to the relevant Security Document as permitted or required by the terms of the relevant Security Document;
	(f)		each of the Offshore Security Agent and the Onshore Security Agent may

			appoint any person established or resident in any jurisdiction (whether a trust corporation or not) to act as a trustee or agent, either separately or jointly with it, in relation to any of the Security Documents to which it is a party if it considers that such an appointment is necessary or desirable for the purpose of conforming with any legal requirement in any relevant jurisdiction or otherwise for the purpose of holding, administering, protecting or enforcing any of the Security Documents to which it is a party, and any such trustee or agent shall have such powers and discretions (not exceeding those conferred it) and such obligations as shall be conferred or imposed on it by it;
	(g)		in relation to any Security Document governed by a law other than Hong Kong or Chinese law, each Finance Party:

	(i)		shall execute and deliver any Security Document which, under applicable law, cannot be entered into by the Offshore Security Agent 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;
	(ii)		shall grant the Offshore Security Agent power of representation in relation to the execution, enforcement and administration of the Security Documents; and
	(iii)		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 Offshore Security Agent or another attorney-in-fact to execute any Security Document on such Finance Party’s behalf and administer and enforce such security;

Should such Lender fail to do so, the Facility Agent shall be entitled (but not obliged) to require such Lender to transfer its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents in accordance with Clause 22.4.

19.		AMENDMENT

		Time is of the essence of this Agreement but no failure or delay by any Finance Party in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall impair such right, power or remedy or operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of the same preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The rights, powers and remedies herein provided are cumulative and do not exclude any other rights, powers and remedies provided by law.

22.		ASSIGNMENT, NOVATION AND LENDING OFFICES
22.1		The Borrower. The Borrower shall not assign or transfer all or any part of its rights or obligations under this Agreement.
22.2		Assignment and Novation. A Lender may:

	(a)		assign all or any part of its rights under the Finance Documents in accordance with Clause 22.3; or
	(b)		transfer by novation all or a portion of its rights, benefits and obligations under the Finance Documents in accordance with Clause 22.4,

		(any such assignment or transfer by novation being referred to in this Clause 22 as a “transfer”). The Borrower shall execute and do all such documents, acts and things as the Facility Agent may reasonably require for perfecting and completing any such transfer.
22.3		Assignment by Lenders. Subject to Clause 22.5, any Lender may at any time without the consent of any person assign all or any of its rights under the Finance Documents to any other person, Provided that:

	(a)		any transfer of rights together with a novation of obligations to the same person may only be made in accordance with the novation procedure set out in Clause 22.4; and
	(b)		no such assignment shall take effect until the proposed assignee has (i) agreed with the Facility Agent and the other Lenders that it shall be under the same obligations towards each of them as it would have been under if it had been a

party hereto as a Lender, (ii) paid the Facility Agent for its own account a fee of one thousand US Dollars (US$1,000) and (iii) paid all sums which have been demanded under Clause 22.8.

22.4

Novation by Lenders. Subject to Clause 22.5, any Lender may at any time transfer by novation all or part of its rights, benefits and/or obligations under or arising out of the Finance Documents to any person. Such transfer shall be effected by:

	(i)		the Eligible Transferee delivering a completed original Novation Certificate duly executed by such Lender and the intended Transferee to the Facility Agent (for this purpose only, for itself and as agent for and on behalf of the Borrower and the other Lenders) together with a fee for the account of the Facility Agent of one thousand US Dollars (US$1,000); and
	(ii)		the Facility Agent executing such Novation Certificate to acknowledge receipt thereof.

Upon delivery and execution of a Novation Certificate in accordance with the above conditions, all parties to this Agreement agree that, on the later of the date specified as the Transfer Date in such Novation Certificate and the fifth (5th) Business Day following the date of receipt thereof by the Facility Agent (unless the Facility Agent agrees a shorter period):

	(a)		to the extent only that in such Novation Certificate the Lender which is party thereto seeks to transfer its rights and/or its obligations under the Finance Documents, the Borrower and such Lender shall each be released from further obligations to the other hereunder and their respective rights against the other shall be cancelled (such rights and obligations being referred to in this Clause 22.4 as “discharged rights and obligations”);
	(b)		the Borrower and the Transferee which is party to such Novation Certificate shall each assume obligations towards the other and/or acquire rights against the other which differ from such discharged rights and obligations only insofar as the Borrower and such Transferee have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of the Borrower and such Lender; and
	(c)		the Facility Agent, such Transferee, the other Lenders, the Offshore Security Agent and the Onshore Security Agent shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves as they would have acquired and assumed had such Transferee been an original party hereto as a Lender with the rights and obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of such transfer.

22.5

Consent of Borrower. Notwithstanding any contrary provisions in this Agreement, the prior written consent of the Borrower is required for an assignment or transfer by a Lender pursuant to this Clause to any person not being an Eligible Transferee, unless such assignment or transfer is made at a time when an Event of Default is continuing. In the event that consent of the Borrower is not required for an assignment or transfer pursuant to this Clause, the Facility Agent shall inform the Borrower of any such assignment or transfer promptly after such assignment or transfer.

22.6		Authority. Each of the Borrower, the other Lenders, the Offshore Security Agent and the Onshore Security Agent hereby irrevocably authorises the Facility Agent without further reference to it to acknowledge receipt of each Novation Certificate delivered to it in accordance with Clause 22.4 by its execution thereof. Upon receipt of any Novation Certificate, the Facility Agent shall send a copy thereof to the Borrower but the Borrower agrees that failure to do so shall not invalidate any transfer. The Facility Agent shall incur no liability to the Borrower, any Lender by virtue of its acting in accordance with the provisions of this Clause.
22.7		Reliance. The Facility Agent and the Borrower may rely on and act in accordance with any Novation Certificate which has been delivered to and accepted by the Facility Agent in accordance with Clause 22.4 and which appears to be complete and regular on its face. Neither of them shall incur any liability to any party by so doing and the Facility Agent shall not be obliged to check or enquire whether a purported Transferee is an Eligible Transferee Provided that if it has actual notice that any proposed Transferee is not an Eligible Transferee and the transfer is not otherwise in compliance with Clause 22.5, the Facility Agent is hereby authorised and is required to refuse to accept the relevant Novation Certificate.
22.8		Reimbursement of Facility Agent. Any Lender seeking to effect any transfer under this Clause 22 shall reimburse the Facility Agent on demand for all costs, charges and expenses (including legal fees on a full indemnity basis) reasonably incurred in connection therewith.
22.9		Payments. The Facility Agent shall distribute payments received by it in relation to all or any part of a share of Commitment or Participation to the Lender indicated in the records of the Facility Agent as being so entitled on that date Provided that the Facility Agent is authorised to distribute payments to be made on the date on which any transfer becomes effective pursuant to any part of this Clause to the Lender so entitled immediately before such transfer took place regardless of the period to which such sums relate.
22.10		Participations. A Lender may at any time grant one or more participations in its rights and/or obligations under the Finance Documents but no other party thereto shall be concerned in any way with any participation so granted.
22.11		Disclosure. A Finance Party may disclose to:

	(a)		any actual or potential successor;
	(b)		any other person:

	(i)		to (or through whom) that Finance Party assigns or transfers (or may assign or transfer) all or any of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents;
	(ii)		with (or through whom) that Finance Party enters (or may potentially enter) into any participation or hedging arrangement in relation to this

Agreement or any other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to this Agreement, the Borrower or any Security Provider;

	(c)		any Holding Company of such Finance Party;
	(d)		any Subsidiary of such Finance Party or of its Holding Company;
	(e)		its head office and any other branch, office or unit;
	(f)		any other Finance Party;
	(g)		any other Security Provider; or
	(h)		any other person permitted by the Borrower or any other Security Provider; or
	(i)		any professional adviser and other person which provides services of any kind to such Finance Party in connection with the operation of its business (including, without limitation, any rating agency, insurer or insurance broker, direct or indirect provider of credit protection, debt collection agency, credit reference agency or contractor),

		on a confidential basis such information about the Borrower, any other Security Provider and the Finance Documents as such Finance Party shall consider appropriate. Any Finance Party and any person to whom disclosure has been made pursuant to this Clause may also make such disclosures as may be required by or pursuant to any applicable (i) law or regulation of Hong Kong or elsewhere and (ii) (whether or not having the force of law) any guideline, directive or request from a governmental, intergovernmental or supranational body, authority, agency, department or regulatory, self-regulatory or other authority or organisation of Hong Kong or elsewhere with which such Finance Party or other person is customarily expected to comply.
22.12		Lending Offices. Each Lender shall act initially through its Lending Office specified in Schedule 1 and may act subsequently through any of its other offices as selected by it from time to time. A Lender shall promptly notify the Facility Agent of any change of its Lending Office.
22.13		Relevant Costs. If:

	(a)		a Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents or changes its Lending Office; and
	(b)		as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, the Borrower would be obliged to make a payment to the new Lender or Lender acting through its new Lending Office under Clause 9 or 10 or 11.6,

then the new Lender or Lender acting through its new Lending Office is only entitled to receive payment under those Clauses to the same extent as the existing Lender or

		Lender acting through its previous Lender Office would have been if the assignment, transfer or change had not occurred.

Limited (the “Process Agent”) to be its agent to accept on behalf of the Borrower service of process issued by the Facility Agent in relation to this Agreement.

The Borrower also agrees that a final judgment against it in any such legal action shall be final and conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction, and that a certified or otherwise duly authenticated copy of the judgment shall be conclusive evidence of the fact and amount of its indebtedness.

24.6		Waiver of Immunity. The Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally waives any immunity to which it or its property may at any time be or become entitled, whether characterised as sovereign immunity or otherwise, from any set-off or legal action in Hong Kong or elsewhere, including immunity from service of process, immunity from jurisdiction of any court or tribunal, and immunity of any of its property from attachment prior to judgment or from execution of a judgment.
