                 Equity VAP" and listed on the VWAP field, up to four decimal
                 places, but if for any reason such price does not so appear, or
                 if such page is unavailable, the VWAP shall be calculated by
                 dividing the turnover of all Shares traded on The Stock
                 Exchange of Hong Kong Limited on the Trading Day by the number
                 of Shares so traded, as shown on the daily quotation sheets of

          referred to in clause 2.6, including but not limited to the payment
          obligations of the Purchaser under the Notes and the Convertible
          Notes.

                      Receipts or RMB denominated bonds; or

                 (b)  the early payment of the Deferred Consideration will not
                      have any significant impact on the Purchaser's ability to
                      repay the principal and interest of any Senior Debts to
                      which the Deferred Consideration is subordinated.

                 Depositary Receipts and/or the RMB denominated bonds after such
                 proceeds are received. The Purchaser acknowledges that the
                 Vendor relied on this undertaking by the Purchaser in agreeing
                 to having the Deferred Consideration as part of the Total Price
                 and to the provisions relating to the payment mechanism for the
                 Deferred Consideration and otherwise as set out in clauses 2.3

          the rate shall be the arithmetic mean (rounded, if necessary upwards,

          Interest Rate as referred to in clause 2.6 on the unpaid portion of
          the Deferred Consideration from the date of Completion until full

          respectively. No penalty or additional interest shall be payable by

          Warranty or any other term of this Agreement.

     7.5  The Warranties shall be deemed to be repeated on Completion with
          reference to the facts and circumstances then existing.

     7.6  Each of the Vendor and the Warrantor undertakes to notify the
          Purchaser in writing promptly if it becomes aware of any circumstance
          arising after the date of this Agreement which would cause any
          Warranty (if the Warranties were repeated with reference to the facts
          and circumstances then existing) to become untrue or inaccurate or
          misleading in any respect which is material to the financial or
          trading position of any member of the Target Companies Group.

          of any Warranty which (or the delay in discovery of which) is the
          consequence of dishonest, deliberate or reckless mis-statement,
          concealment or other conduct by any Vendor Group Company or any
          officer or employee, or former officer or employee, of any Vendor
          Group Company.

     afterwards) comes to the notice of the Purchaser at any time prior to
     Completion which:

     (a)  constitutes a breach by the Vendor or the Warrantor of this Agreement
          (including, without limitation, any breach of the pre-Completion
          undertakings in clause 4); or

     (b)  would constitute a breach of any Warranty if the Warranties were
          repeated on or at any time before Completion by reference to the facts
          and circumstances then existing; or

     (c)  affects or is likely to affect in a materially adverse manner the
          business, financial position or prospects of the Target Companies
          Group taken as a whole.


10   WITHHOLDING TAX AND GROSSING UP

     10.1  Each of the Vendor and the Warrantor shall pay all sums payable by it
           under this Agreement free and clear of all deductions or withholdings
           unless the law requires a deduction or withholding. If a deduction or
           withholding is so required the Vendor or the Warrantor shall pay such
           additional amount as will ensure that the net amount the payee
           receives equals the full amount which it would have received had the
           deduction or withholding not been required.

     10.2  If any tax authority charges taxation on any sum paid by the Vendor
           or the Warrantor under or pursuant to this Agreement, then the Vendor
           or the Warrantor shall pay such additional amount as will ensure that
           the total amount paid, less the tax chargeable on such amount, is
           equal to the amount that would otherwise be payable under this
           Agreement.


11   ENTIRE AGREEMENT

     This Agreement and the Tax Indemnity constitute the entire agreement and
     understanding between the parties in connection with the sale and purchase
     of the Target BVI Shares. This Agreement and the Tax Indemnity supersede
     all prior agreements or understandings in connection with the subject
     matter hereof which shall cease to have any further force or effect. No
     party has entered into this Agreement in reliance upon any representation,
     warranty or undertaking which is not set out or referred to in this
     Agreement and the Tax Indemnity.


12   VARIATION

           The expression "VARIATION" shall include any variation, supplement,
           deletion or replacement however effected.

     12.2  Unless expressly agreed, no variation shall constitute a general
           waiver of any provisions of this Agreement, nor shall it affect any
           rights, obligations or liabilities under or pursuant to this
           Agreement which have already accrued up to the date of variation, and
           the rights and obligations of the parties under or pursuant to this
           Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, except and only to
           the extent that they are so varied.

     Agreement without the prior written approval of the other parties.

     14.1  Except as required by law or by any stock exchange or governmental or
           other regulatory or supervisory body or authority of competent
           jurisdiction to whose rules the party making the announcement or
           disclosure is subject, whether or not having the force of law, no
           announcement or circular or disclosure in connection with the
           existence or subject matter of this Agreement shall be made or issued
           by or on behalf of any of the Vendor Group Companies or any member of
           the Target Companies Group or any of them without the prior written
           approval of the Purchaser (such approval not to be unreasonably
           withheld or delayed), or by or on behalf of the Purchaser without the
           prior written approval of the Vendor and the Warrantor (such approval
           not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

     14.2  Where any announcement or disclosure is made in reliance on the
           exception in clause 14.1, the party making the announcement or
           disclosure will so far as

15   COSTS

     Each of the parties shall bear its own Costs incurred in connection with
     the negotiation, preparation and completion of this Agreement and the Tax
     Indemnity.


16   CONFIDENTIALITY

     Each of the Vendor and the Warrantor undertakes with the Purchaser that it
     shall keep confidential (and to ensure that its directors, officers,
     employees, agents and professional and other advisers keep confidential)
     any information in its possession (whether before or after the date of this
     Agreement):

     (a)  in relation to the subscribers, business, assets or affairs of the
          Target Companies Group (including any data held by the Target
          Companies Group); or

     (b)  which relates to the contents of this Agreement (or any agreement or
          arrangement entered into pursuant to this Agreement),

     provided that the undertakings contained in this clause 16 shall not apply
     to any information which is in or has entered the public domain (which
     shall include any public filing or disclosure requirements of the United
     States Securities and Exchange Commission or under applicable laws)
     otherwise than as a result of publication or disclosure by the Vendor or
     the Warrantor or their respective directors, officers, employees, agents
     and professional and other advisers without the prior written consent of
     the Purchaser.

     Each of the Vendor and the Warrantor shall not use for its own business
     purposes or disclose to any third party any such information (collectively,
     "CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION") without the consent of the Purchaser.


17   SEVERABILITY

     If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable,
     then such provision shall (so far as it is invalid or unenforceable) be
     given no effect and shall be deemed not to be included in this Agreement
     but without invalidating any of the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
     The parties shall then use all reasonable endeavours to replace the invalid
     or unenforceable provisions by a valid and enforceable substitute provision
     the effect of which is as close as possible to the intended effect of the
     invalid or unenforceable provision.


18   COUNTERPARTS

     This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the
     parties to it on separate counterparts, each of which is an original but
     all of which together constitute one and the same instrument.


19   WAIVER

     19.1  No failure or delay by any parties hereto in exercising any right or
           remedy provided by law under or pursuant to this Agreement shall
           impair such right or remedy or operate or be construed as a waiver or
           variation of it or preclude its exercise at any subsequent time and
           no single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall

                                     - 20 -
<PAGE>
           preclude any other or further exercise of it or the exercise of any

     19.2  The rights and remedies of the parties hereto under or pursuant to
           this Agreement are cumulative, may be exercised as often as such

     performance of) all further acts and things, and execute and deliver (or

     required by law or as the Purchaser may reasonably require, whether on or
     after Completion, to implement and/or give effect to this Agreement and the

     Purchaser the full benefit of the assets, rights and benefits to be
