(j)
Other Events: If the Issuer determines that a downward adjustment should be made to the Conversion Price as a result of one (1) or more events or circumstances not referred to in this Clause 7.1, the Issuer shall, at its own expense, consult an independent investment bank of international repute (acting as expert), selected by the Issuer and approved in writing by the Trustee (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to determine as soon as practicable what adjustment (if any) to the Conversion Price is fair and reasonable to take account thereof, if the adjustment would result in a reduction in the Conversion Price, and the date on which such adjustment should take effect and upon such determination by the independent investment bank such adjustment (if any) shall be made and shall take effect in accordance with such determination, provided that where the events or circumstances giving rise to any adjustment pursuant to this Clause 7.1 have already resulted or will result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price or where the events or circumstances giving rise to any adjustment arise by virtue of events or circumstances which have already given rise or will give rise to an adjustment to the Conversion Price, such modification (if any) shall be made to the operation of the provisions of this Clause 7.1 as may be advised by the independent investment bank to be in their opinion appropriate to give the intended result. Neither the Agents nor the Trustee should have the responsible for determining the Conversion Price or the adjustment to the Conversion Price.

(c)
Where more than one (1) event which gives or may give rise to an adjustment to the Conversion Price occurs within such a short period of time that in the opinion of an independent investment bank of international repute (acting as expert), selected by the Issuer and approved in writing by the Trustee (such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the foregoing provisions would need to be operated subject to some modification in order to give the intended result, such modification shall be made to the operation of the foregoing provisions as may be advised by such independent investment bank to be in their opinion appropriate in order to give such intended result. No adjustment involving an increase in the Conversion Price will be made, except in the case of a consolidation of the Shares as referred to in Clause 7.1(a) above.
 
 
(d)
The Trustee shall not be under any duty to (i) monitor whether any event or circumstance has happened or exists which may require an adjustment to be made to the Conversion Price or (ii) itself calculate any adjustment to the Conversion Price and will not be responsible to Bondholders for any loss arising from any failure by it to do so.

The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on such certificate and will have no duty to confirm or investigate the accuracy thereof.
 
 
(e)
If any doubt arises as to an adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to Clause 7.1, the Trustee may, at the cost and expense of the Issuer, consult with any reputable investment bank in the United States and may act on the opinion or advice of or any certificate or information obtained from any such investment bank, and such determination, opinion, advice, certification or action (or absence thereof) shall be conclusive and binding upon the Issuer and the Bondholders.

The Issuer shall notify the Bondholders, Trustee and the Paying Agent of such adjustment within ten (10) business days after the relevant Reset Date, in accordance with Condition 18. Such adjusted Conversion Price shall be rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest one-tenth (1/10) of a United States cent.
 
Provided that:
 
 
(a)
any such adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Clause 7.3 shall be limited so that the Conversion Price adjusted in accordance with this Clause 7.3 shall not be less than seventy percent (70%) of the initial Conversion Price (taking account of any adjustments required under Clause 7.1 above which may have occurred prior to the relevant Reset Date) or higher than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Reset Date;

Final Form

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE BONDS
 
The following is the text of the Conditions of the Bonds which (subject to modification and except for the paragraphs in italics) will be endorsed on the Certificates issued in respect of the Bonds.
 
The issue of the US$8,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Variable Rate Convertible Bonds due 2012 (the “Bonds”, which term shall include, unless the context requires otherwise, any further Bonds issued in accordance with Condition 17 and consolidated and forming a single series therewith) of Asia Time Corporation (the “Issuer”) and the right of conversion into Shares (as defined in Condition 6(A)(v)) were authorised by resolutions of the board of directors of the Issuer passed on November 9, 2007. The Bonds are constituted by a trust deed dated November 13, 2007 (the “Trust Deed”) made between the Issuer and The Bank of New York, London Branch as trustee for the holders of the Bonds (the “Trustee”, which term shall, where the context so permits, include all other persons or companies for the time being acting as trustee or trustees under the Trust Deed) and are subject to the paying and conversion agency agreement dated November 13, 2007 (the “Agency Agreement”) with the Trustee, The Bank of New York, London Branch as principal paying, conversion and transfer agent (the “Principal Agent”), The Bank of New York as registrar (the “Registrar”) and the other paying, conversion and transfer agents appointed under it (each a “Paying Agent”, “Conversion Agent”, “Transfer Agent”, and together with the Registrar and the Principal Agent, the “Agents”) relating to the Bonds. References to the “Principal Agent”, “Registrar” and “Agents” below are references to the principal agent, registrar and agents for the time being for the Bonds. The statements in these terms and conditions of the Bonds (these “Conditions”) include summaries of, and are subject to, the detailed provisions of the Trust Deed. Unless otherwise defined, terms used in these Conditions have the meaning specified in the Trust Deed. Copies of the Trust Deed and of the Agency Agreement are available for inspection during normal business hours at the registered office of the Trustee being as at the date hereof at One Canada Square, London, E14 5AL, United Kingdom and at the specified offices of each of the Agents. The Bondholders are entitled to the benefit of the Trust Deed and are bound by, and are deemed to have notice of, all the provisions of the Trust Deed and the Agency Agreement applicable to them.
 
1.
Status
 
The Bonds constitute direct, unsubordinated, unconditional and (subject to the provisions of Condition 5) unsecured obligations of the Issuer and shall at all times rank pari passu and without any preference or priority among themselves. The payment obligations of the Issuer under the Bonds shall, save for such exceptions as may be provided by applicable legislation and subject to Condition 5, at all times rank at least equally with all of its other present and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations (other than any obligations preferred by mandatory provisions of applicable law).
 
2.
Form and Denomination
 
The Bonds are issued in registered form in the denomination of US$1,000 each. A Bond certificate (each a “Certificate”) will be issued to each Bondholder in respect of its registered holding of Bonds. Each Bond and each Certificate will be numbered serially with an identifying number which will be recorded on the relevant Certificate and in the Register (as defined in Condition 4(A)) which the Issuer will procure to be kept by the Registrar.
 
Upon issue, the Bonds will be represented by a global certificate (the “Global Certificate”) deposited with a common depositary for, and representing Bonds registered in the name of a common nominee of, Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (“Clearstream”) and Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. (“Euroclear”) and/or any other relevant clearing system (each a “Clearing System”).
 
Trust Deed
- 40 -

 
3.
Title
 
Title to the Bonds passes only by transfer and registration in the register of Bondholders as described in Condition 4. The holder of any Bond will (except as otherwise required by law) be treated as its absolute owner for all purposes (whether or not it is overdue and regardless of any notice of ownership, trust or any interest in it or any writing on, or the theft or loss of, the Certificate issued in respect of it) and no person will be liable for so treating the holder. In these Conditions, “Bondholder” and (in relation to a Bond) “holder” mean the person in whose name a Bond is registered.
 
4.
Transfers of Bonds; Issue of Certificates
 
A.
Register
 
The Issuer will cause to be kept at the specified office outside the United Kingdom of the Registrar and in accordance with the terms of the Agency Agreement a register on which shall be entered the names and addresses of the holders of the Bonds and the particulars of the Bonds held by them and of all transfers of the Bonds (the “Register”). Each Bondholder shall be entitled to receive only one (1) Certificate in respect of its entire holding of Bonds.
 
B.
Transfer
 
Subject to the terms of the Agency Agreement, a Bond may be transferred by delivery of the Certificate issued in respect of that Bond, with the form of transfer on the back duly completed and signed by the holder or his attorney duly authorised in writing, to the specified office of the Registrar or any of the Agents. No transfer of a Bond will be valid unless and until entered on the Register.
 
C.
Delivery of New Certificates
 
Each new Certificate to be issued upon a transfer of Bonds will, within three (3) business days of receipt by the Registrar or, as the case may be, any other relevant Agent of the form of transfer, be made available for collection at the specified office of the Registrar or such other relevant Agent or, if so requested in the form of transfer, be mailed by uninsured mail at the risk of the holder entitled to the Bonds (but free of charge to the holder) to the address specified in the form of transfer.
 
Where only part of a principal amount of the Bonds (being that of one (1) or more Bonds) in respect of which a Certificate is issued is to be transferred or converted, a new Certificate in respect of the Bonds not so transferred or converted will, within three (3) business days of delivery of the original Certificate to the Registrar or other relevant Agent, be made available for collection at the specified office of the Registrar or such other relevant Agent or, if so requested in the form of transfer, be mailed by uninsured mail at the risk of the holder of the Bonds not so transferred or converted (but free of charge to the holder) to the address of such holder appearing on the Register.
 
For the purposes of Condition 4, “business day” shall mean a day other than a Saturday or Sunday on which banks are open for business in the city in which the specified office of the Registrar (if a Certificate is deposited with it in connection with a transfer or conversion) or the Agent with whom a Certificate is deposited in connection with a transfer or conversion, is located.
 
Trust Deed
- 41 -

 
D.
Formalities Free of Charge
 
Registration of transfer of Bonds will be effected without charge by or on behalf of the Issuer or any of the Agents, but upon payment (or the giving of such indemnity as the Issuer or any of the Agents may require) in respect of any tax or other governmental charges which may be imposed in relation to such transfer.
 
E.
Closed Periods
 
No Bondholder may require the transfer of a Bond to be registered (i) during the period of seven (7) days ending on (and including) the dates for payment of any principal and/or premium (if any) pursuant to the Conditions; (ii) after a Conversion Notice (as defined in Condition 6(B)) has been delivered with respect to a Bond; or (iii) after a Tax Redemption Notice (as defined in Condition 9(C)) or a Relevant Event Redemption Notice (as defined in Condition 9(D)) has been deposited in respect of such Bond.
 
F.
Regulations
 
All transfers of Bonds and entries on the register of Bondholders will be made subject to the detailed regulations concerning transfer of Bonds scheduled to the Agency Agreement.

5.
Negative Pledge
 
A.
Negative Pledge
 
The Issuer undertakes that, so long as any of the Bonds remains outstanding (as defined in the Trust Deed) or any amount is due under or in respect of any Bond or otherwise under the Trust Deed, it will not, and will procure that none of its Subsidiaries will, create or permit to subsist or arise any Encumbrance upon the whole or any part of their respective present or future assets or revenues to secure any Relevant Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuer or to secure any guarantee of or indemnity in respect of any such Relevant Indebtedness unless, at the same time or prior thereto, the Issuer’s obligations under the Bonds are secured by the same Encumbrance or have the benefit from a guarantee or indemnity in substantially identical terms thereto or, at the option of the Issuer, by such other security, guarantee, indemnity or other arrangement as the Bondholders may approve by Extraordinary Resolution (as defined in the Trust Deed).
 
B.
Interpretation
 
In these Conditions:
 
 
(i)
any reference to an Encumbrance” is to a mortgage, charge, pledge, lien or other encumbrance or security interest securing any obligation of any person;
 
 
(ii)
any reference to “Relevant Indebtedness” is to any future or present indebtedness in the form of or represented by debentures, loan stock, bonds, notes, bearer participation certificates, depository receipts, certificates of deposit or other similar securities or instruments or by bills of exchange drawn or accepted for the purpose of raising money which are, or are issued with the intention on the part of the Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuer that they should be, quoted, listed, ordinarily dealt in or traded on any stock exchange or over the counter or on any other securities market (whether or not initially distributed by way of private placement); and
 
Trust Deed
- 42 -

 
 
(iii)
any reference to a “Subsidiary” of any person is to any company or other business entity of which that person owns or controls (either directly or through one (1) or more other Subsidiaries) more than fifty percent (50%) of the issued share capital or other ownership interest having ordinary voting power to elect directors, managers or trustees of such company or other business entity or any company or other business entity which at any time has its accounts consolidated with those of that person or which, under United States or other relevant law, regulations or generally accepted accounting principles from time to time, should have its accounts consolidated with those of that person.
 
6.
Conversion
 
A.
Conversion Right
 
(i)
Conversion Period: Subject as hereinafter provided, Bondholders have the right to convert their Bonds into Shares at any time during the Conversion Period referred to below.
 
The right of a Bondholder to convert any Bond into Shares is called the “Conversion Right”. Subject to and upon compliance with, the provisions of this Condition, the Conversion Right attaching to any Bond may be exercised, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time on and after 365 days after the date the Issuer’s Shares commence trading on the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”) or an Alternative Major Stock Exchange (as defined in Condition 6(C) below) (the “Listing Date”) up to the close of business (at the place where the Certificate evidencing such Bond is deposited for conversion) on November 6, 2012 (but, except as provided in Condition 6(A)(iv), in no event thereafter) or if such Bond shall have been called for redemption before the Maturity Date (as defined in Condition 9(A)), then up to the close of business (at the place aforesaid) on a date no later than seven (7) business days (in the place aforesaid) prior to the date fixed for redemption thereof (the “Conversion Period”).
 
The number of Shares to be issued on conversion of a Bond will be determined by dividing the principal amount of the Bond to be converted by the Conversion Price in effect at the Conversion Date (both as hereinafter defined). A Conversion Right may only be exercised in respect of one (1) or more Bonds. If more than one (1) Bond held by the same holder is converted at any one (1) time by the same holder, the number of Shares to be issued upon such conversion will be calculated on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds to be converted.
 
(ii)
Fractions of Shares: Fractions of Shares will not be issued on conversion and no cash adjustments will be made in respect thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a consolidation or re-classification of Shares by operation of law or otherwise occurring after November 13, 2007 which reduces the number of Shares outstanding, the Issuer will upon conversion of Bonds pay in cash (in US dollars by means of a US dollar cheque drawn on a bank in New York) a sum equal to such portion of the principal amount of the Bond or Bonds evidenced by the Certificate deposited in connection with the exercise of Conversion Rights, aggregated as provided in Condition 6(A)(i), as corresponds to any fraction of a Share not issued as a result of such consolidation or re-classification aforesaid if such sum exceeds US$10.00.
 
(iii)
Conversion Price: The price at which Shares will be issued upon conversion (the “Conversion Price”) will initially be the price per Share at which Shares are sold in the IPO (the “IPO Price”) but will be subject to adjustment in the manner provided in Conditions 6(C) and 6(D). IPO means a public offering of the Shares of the Issuer on AMEX with minimum gross proceeds of US$2,000,000. If no IPO has occurred prior to conversion, the Conversion Price will be deemed to be US$2.00 as of November 13, 2007 (the “Closing Date”), subject to adjustment in the manner provided in Conditions 6(C) and 6(D).
 
Trust Deed
- 43 -

 
(iv)
Revival and/or survival after Default: Notwithstanding the provisions of Condition 6(A)(i), if (a) the Issuer shall default in making payment in full in respect of any Bond which shall have been called for redemption on the date fixed for redemption thereof, (b) any Bond has become due and payable prior to the Maturity Date by reason of the occurrence of any of the events under Condition 11 or (c) any Bond is not redeemed on the Maturity Date in accordance with Condition 9(A), the Conversion Right attaching to such Bond will revive and/or will continue to be exercisable up to, and including, the close of business (at the place where the Certificate evidencing such Bond is deposited for conversion) on the date upon which the full amount of the moneys payable in respect of such Bond has been duly received by the Principal Agent or the Trustee and notice of such receipt has been duly given to the Bondholders and, notwithstanding the provisions of Condition 6(A)(i), any Bond in respect of which the Certificate and Conversion Notice (as defined below) are deposited for conversion prior to such date shall be converted on the relevant Conversion Date (as defined below) notwithstanding that the full amount of the moneys payable in respect of such Bond shall have been received by the Principal Agent or the Trustee before such Conversion Date or that the Conversion Period may have expired before such Conversion Date.
 
(v)
Meaning of Shares: As used in these Conditions, the expression “Shares” means shares of common stock of the Issuer or shares of any class or classes resulting from any subdivision, consolidation or re-classification of those shares, which as between themselves have no preference in respect of dividends or of amounts payable in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation or dissolution of the Issuer.
 
B.
Conversion Procedure
 
(i)
Conversion Notice: To exercise the Conversion Right attaching to any Bond, the holder thereof must complete, execute and deliver at his own expense during normal business hours at the specified office of any Conversion Agent a notice of conversion (a “Conversion Notice”) in duplicate in the form (for the time being current) obtainable from the specified office of each Agent, together with the relevant Certificate and any amounts required to be paid by the Bondholder under Condition 6(B)(ii).
 
The conversion date in respect of a Bond (the “Conversion Date”) must fall at a time when the Conversion Right attaching to that Bond is expressed in these Conditions to be exercisable (subject to the provisions of Condition 6(A)(iv) above) and will be deemed to be the Stock Exchange Business Day (as defined below) immediately following the date of the surrender of the Certificate in respect of such Bond and delivery of such Conversion Notice and, if applicable, any payment or indemnity required to be made or given under these Conditions in connection with the exercise of such Conversion Right. A Conversion Notice once delivered shall be irrevocable and may not be withdrawn unless the Issuer consents in writing to such withdrawal. “Stock Exchange Business Day” means any day (other than a Saturday or Sunday) on which AMEX or the Alternative Stock Exchange (as defined in Condition 6(C) below), as the case may be, is open for business of dealing in securities.
 
Trust Deed
- 44 -

 
(ii)
Stamp Duty etc.: As conditions precedent to conversion, a Bondholder delivering a Certificate in respect of a Bond for conversion must pay any taxes and capital, stamp, issue and registration duties arising on conversion (other than any taxes or capital or stamp duties payable in the United States, the People’s Republic of China or England and, if relevant, in the place of the Alternative Stock Exchange, by the Issuer in respect of the allotment and issue of Shares and listing of the Shares on AMEX or the Alternative Stock Exchange on conversion) (the “Taxes”) and such Bondholder must also pay all, if any, taxes arising by reference to any disposal or deemed disposal of a Bond in connection with such conversion. The Issuer will pay all other expenses arising on the issue of Shares on conversion of Bonds. The Bondholder (and, if applicable, the person other than the Bondholder to whom the Shares are to be issued) must provide the Conversion Agent with details of the relevant tax authorities to which the Conversion Agent must pay monies received in settlement of Taxes payable pursuant to this Condition 6(B)(ii). The Conversion Agent is under no obligation to determine whether a Bondholder is liable to pay any Taxes including capital, stamp, issue, registration or similar taxes and duties or the amounts payable (if any) in connection with this Condition 6(B)(ii).
 
(iii)
Registration: As soon as practicable, and in any event not later than seven (7) Trading Days (as defined below) after the Conversion Date, the Issuer will, procure that the relevant number of Shares are allotted to and registered in the name of the nominee of a depositary common to Euroclear and Clearstream for credit to the securities account designated for the purpose in the Conversion Notice for so long as the Shares are listed on AMEX.
 
 If the Conversion Date in relation to any Bond shall be on or after a date with effect from which an adjustment to the Conversion Price takes retroactive effect pursuant to any of the provisions referred to in Condition 6(C) and the Trust Deed, and the relevant Registration Date (as defined below) falls on a date when the relevant adjustment has not yet been reflected in the then current Conversion Price, the provisions of this sub-paragraph (iii) shall be applied, mutatis mutandis, to such number of Shares as is equal to the excess of the number of Shares which would have been required to be issued on conversion of such Bond if the relevant retroactive adjustment had been given effect as at the said Registration Date over the number of Shares previously issued (or which the Issuer was previously bound to issue) pursuant to such conversion.
 
The person or persons specified for that purpose will become the holder on record of the number of Shares issuable upon conversion with effect from the date he is or they are registered as such in the Issuer’s register of members (the “Registration Date”). The Shares issued upon conversion of the Bonds will in all respects rank pari passu with the Shares in issue on the relevant Registration Date. Save as set out in these Conditions, a holder of Shares issued on conversion of Bonds shall not be entitled to any rights the record date for which precedes the relevant Registration Date. Upon delivery of the Shares in satisfaction of the Conversion Right of any Converting Bondholder and the completion of such registration in accordance with this Condition 6(B), the right of such Converting Bondholder to repayment of the principal amount of the Bonds so converted shall extinguish.
 
If the record date for the payment of any dividend or other distribution in respect of the Shares is on or after the Conversion Date in respect of any Bond, but before the Registration Date (disregarding any retroactive adjustment of the Conversion Price referred to in this sub-paragraph (iii) prior to the time such retroactive adjustment shall have become effective), the Issuer will pay to the converting Bondholder or his designee an amount (the “Equivalent Amount”) equal to any such dividend or other distribution to which he would have been entitled had he on that record date been such a shareholder of record and will make the payment at the same time as it makes payment of the dividend or other distribution, or as soon as practicable thereafter, but, in any event, not later than seven (7) days thereafter. The Equivalent Amount shall be paid by means of a U.S. dollar cheque drawn on a bank in New York and sent to the address specified in the relevant Conversion Notice.

C.
Adjustments to Conversion Price
 
The Conversion Price will be subject to adjustment in the following events as set out in the Trust Deed:
 
(1)
Consolidation, Subdivision or Reclassification: If and whenever there shall be an alteration to the nominal value of the Shares as a result of consolidation, subdivision or reclassification, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in force immediately before such alteration by the following fraction:

 
A
B

Where:

A
is the nominal amount of one (1) Share immediately after such alteration; and
     
B
is the nominal amount of one (1) Share immediately before such alteration.
 
Such adjustment shall become effective on the date the alteration takes effect.
 
(2)
Capitalisation of Profits or Reserves: If and whenever the Issuer shall issue any Shares credited as fully paid to the holders of Shares (the “Shareholders”) by way of capitalisation of profits or reserves (including any share premium account) including, Shares paid up out of distributable profits or reserves and/or share premium account issued (except any Scrip Dividend (as defined below)) and which would not have constituted a Capital Distribution (as defined below), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in force immediately before such issue by the following fraction:
 
A
B
Where:
 
A
is the aggregate nominal amount of the issued Shares immediately before such issue; and
 
B
is the aggregate nominal amount of the issued Shares immediately after such issue.

If such Shares are issued for no consideration, then the consideration per share shall be deemed to be the then current par value of each Share.
 
Determination of Consideration: For purpose of this Condition 6(C)(6), the consideration received by the Issuer for the issue of any such Shares shall be computed as follows:
 
 
(A)
in so far as such consideration consists of cash, it shall be computed at the aggregate amount of cash received by the Issuer;
 
 
 
(B)
in so far as such consideration consists of property other than cash, it shall be computed at the fair value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the directors of the Issuer (the “Directors”); provided, however, that no value shall be attributed to any services performed by any employee, officer or director of the Company; and
 
 
 
(C)

Such adjustment shall become effective on the date of issue of such additional Shares or, as the case may be, the issue of such options, warrants or other rights.
 
(7)
Other Issues at less than Conversion Price: Save in the case of an issue of securities arising from a conversion or exchange of other securities in accordance with the terms applicable to such securities themselves falling within this Condition 6(C)(7), if and whenever the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries (otherwise than as mentioned in Conditions 6(C)(4), 6(C)(5) or 6(C)(6)), or (at the direction or request of or pursuant to any arrangements with the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries) any other company, person or entity shall issue any securities (other than the Bonds) which by their terms of issue carry rights of conversion into, or exchange or subscription for, Shares to be issued by the Issuer upon conversion, exchange or subscription at a consideration per Share which is less than the Conversion Price in effect at the time of issue of such securities, then, in such event, the Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price equal to the consideration per share receivable by the Issuer for the Shares to be issued on conversion or exchange or on exercise of the right of subscription determined by reference to the maximum number of Shares to be issued on conversion, exchange or subscription at the minimum conversion, exchange or subscription price. If such Shares are issued for no consideration, then the consideration per share shall be deemed to be the then current par value of each Share.
 
Determination of Consideration: For purpose of this Condition 6(C)(7), the consideration receivable by the Issuer for the issue of any such Shares shall be computed as follows:
 
 
(A)

(C)
in the event the Shares are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Issuer for consideration which covers both the proportion of such consideration so received with respect to such Shares, shall be computed as provided in Clauses (A) and (B) above, as determined in good faith by the Directors.

Modification of Rights of Conversion etc.: If and whenever there shall be any modification of the rights of conversion, exchange or subscription attaching to any such securities as are mentioned in Condition 6(C)(7) (other than in accordance with the terms of such securities) so that the consideration per Share (for the number of Shares available on conversion, exchange or subscription following the modification) is reduced and is less than the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such modification, the Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such modification, to a price equal to the modified consideration per share receivable by the Issuer for the Shares to be issued on conversion or exchange or on exercise of the right of subscription determined by reference to the maximum number of Shares to be issued on conversion, exchange or subscription at the minimum conversion, exchange or subscription price. If such Shares are issued for no consideration, then the consideration per share shall be deemed to be the then current par value of each Share.
 
Determination of Consideration: For purpose of this Condition 6(C)(8), the consideration receivable by the Issuer for the issue of any such Shares shall be computed as follows:
 
 
(A)
in so far as such consideration consists of cash, it shall be computed at the aggregate amount of cash received by the Issuer;
 
 
 
(B)

(i)
if the Shares to be issued in such circumstances do not rank for the dividend in question, the quotations on the dates on which the Shares shall have been quoted cum-dividend shall for the purpose of this definition be deemed to be the amount thereof reduced by an amount equal to the amount of that dividend per Share; or
 
(ii)
if the Shares to be issued in such circumstances rank for the dividend in question, the quotations on the dates on which the Shares shall have been quoted ex-dividend shall for the purpose of this definition be deemed to be the amount thereof increased by such similar amount;
 
and provided further that if the Shares on each of the said five (5) Trading Days have been quoted cum-dividend in respect of a dividend which has been declared or announced but the Shares to be issued do not rank for that dividend, the quotations on each of such dates shall for the purpose of this definition be deemed to be the amount thereof reduced by an amount equal to the amount of that dividend per Share.

Relevant Cash Dividend means any cash dividend specifically declared by the Issuer.
 
Scrip Dividend means any Shares issued in lieu of the whole or any part of any Relevant Cash Dividend, being a dividend which the Shareholders concerned would or could otherwise have received and which would not have constituted a Capital Distribution (and for the avoidance of doubt to the extent that no adjustment is to be made under Condition 6(C)(3) in respect of the amount by which the Current Market Price of the Shares exceeds the Relevant Cash Dividend or part thereof).

Trading Day means a day when AMEX or, as the case may be an Alternative Stock Exchange, is open for business of dealing in securities, provided that if no Closing Price is reported for one (1) or more consecutive dealing days such day or days will be disregarded in any relevant calculation and shall be deemed not have existed when ascertaining any period of dealing days.
 
No adjustment will be made to the Conversion Price (i) when Shares or other securities (including rights or options) are issued, offered or granted to employees (including directors) of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to any Employee Share Scheme (as defined in the Trust Deed) (and which Employee Share Scheme (a) is in compliance with the listing rules of AMEX or, if applicable, the listing rules of an Alternative Stock Exchange; and (b) does not amount to, relate to, or entitle such persons to receive, Shares in excess of ten percent (10%) of the average number of issued and outstanding Shares during any twelve (12) months); or (ii) as a result of the issuance on the date hereof of the warrants to purchase 600,000 Shares (the “Warrants”) issued to ABN AMRO Bank, N.V. (“ABN AMRO”) or any exercise of such Warrants.
 
On any adjustment, the relevant Conversion Price, if not an integral multiple of one (1) United States cent, shall be rounded down to the nearest United State cent. No adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price where such adjustment (rounded down if applicable) would be less than one percent (1%) of the Conversion Price then in effect. Any adjustment not required to be made, and any amount by which the Conversion Price has not been rounded down, shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. Notice of any adjustment shall be given to Bondholders in accordance with Condition 18 as soon as practicable after the determination thereof.

Where more than one (1) event which gives or may give rise to an adjustment to the Conversion Price occurs within such a short period of time that in the opinion of an independent investment bank of international repute (acting as expert), selected by the Issuer and approved in writing by the Trustee (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the foregoing provisions would need to be operated subject to some modification in order to give the intended result, such modification shall be made to the operation of the foregoing provisions as may be advised by such independent investment bank to be in their opinion appropriate in order to give such intended result. No adjustment involving an increase in the Conversion Price will be made, except in the case of a consolidation of the Shares as referred to in Condition 6(C)(1) above or a Conversion Price reset as referred to in Condition 6(D) below.
 
The Trustee shall not be under any duty to (i) monitor whether any event or circumstance has happened or exists which may require an adjustment to be made to the Conversion Price or (ii) itself calculate any adjustment to the Conversion Price and will not be responsible to Bondholders for any loss arising from any failure by it to do so. Any adjustments to the Conversion Price shall be calculated or caused to be calculated by the Issuer and the Issuer will promptly send to the Trustee a certificate setting out the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and the particulars relating to adjustment of the Conversion Price. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on such certificate and will have no duty to confirm or investigate the accuracy thereof.

The Issuer shall notify the Bondholders, Trustee and the Paying Agent of such adjustment within ten (10) business days after the relevant Reset Date, in accordance with Condition 18. Such adjusted Conversion Price shall be rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest one-tenth (1/10) of a United States cent.
 
Provided that:
 
(i)
any such adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Condition 6(D) shall be limited so that the Conversion Price adjusted in accordance with this Condition 6(D) shall not be less than seventy percent (70%) of the initial Conversion Price (taking account of any adjustments required under Condition 6(C) above which may have occurred prior to the relevant Reset Date) or higher than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Reset Date;
 
(ii)
subject to (i) above the provisions of Condition 6(C) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to this Condition 6(D) to ensure that appropriate adjustments shall be made to any Closing Price to reflect any adjustments made to the Conversion Price in accordance with Condition 6(C);
 
(iii)
for the avoidance of doubt, any adjustments to the Conversion Price made pursuant to this Condition 6(D) shall only be downward adjustments; and
 
(iv)
notwithstanding anything herein, the Conversion Price shall only be adjusted pursuant to this Condition 6(D) to an amount not less than US$0.25 per Share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, spin-offs, rights offerings, recapitalizations and similar events).

In such event, interest will continue to accrue at the rate aforesaid (after as well as before any judgment) up to but excluding the date on which all sums due in respect of any Bond are received by or on behalf of the relevant holder. If interest is required to be calculated for a period of less than one (1) year, it will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

E.
Default Interest and Delay In Payment
 
If the Issuer fails to pay any sum in respect of the Bonds when the same becomes due and payable under these Conditions, interest shall accrue on the Bonds and any overdue sum at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum from the due date. Such default interest shall accrue on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a 360-day year.
 
Bondholders will not be entitled to any interest or other payment for any delay after the due date in receiving the amount due if the due date is not a business day, if the Bondholder is late in surrendering its Certificate (if required to do so) or if a cheque mailed in accordance with this Condition arrives after the due date for payment.

Redemption, Purchase and Cancellation
 
A.
Maturity
 
Unless previously redeemed, converted or purchased and cancelled as provided herein, the Issuer will redeem each Bond at 150.87% of its principal amount on November 13, 2012 (the “Maturity Date”). The Issuer may not redeem the Bonds at its option prior to that date except as provided in Condition 9(B) or Condition 9(C) below (but without prejudice to Condition 10).
 
Trust Deed
- 56 -

 
B.
Redemption at the Option of the Issuer
 
At any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Issuer may, having given not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days’ notice to the Bondholders, the Trustee and the Principal Agent (which notice will be irrevocable), redeem all and not some only of the Bonds at a redemption price equal to the Early Redemption Amount on the redemption date if more than ninety percent (90%) in principal amount of the Bonds has already been converted, redeemed or purchased and cancelled.
 
The Early Redemption Amount of a Bond, for each US$1,000 principal amount of the Bonds, is determined so that it represents for the Bondholder a gross yield of twelve percent (12%) per annum, calculated on a semi-annual basis. The applicable Early Redemption Amount for each US$1,000 principal amount of Bonds is calculated in accordance with the following formula, rounded (if necessary) to two (2) decimal places with 0.005 being rounded upwards (provided that if the date fixed for redemption is the Semi-Annual Date (as set out below), such Early Redemption Amount shall be as set out in the table below in respect of such Semi-Annual Date):
 
Early Redemption Amount = Previous Redemption Amount x (1 + r/2)d/p 
 
Previous Redemption Amount = the Early Redemption Amount for each US$1,000 principal amount of the Bonds on the Semi-Annual Date immediately preceding the date fixed for redemption as set out below:

At any time the Issuer may, having given not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days’ notice (a “Tax Redemption Notice”) to the Bondholders in accordance with Condition 18 (which notice shall be irrevocable) redeem all, but not some only, of the Bonds at a redemption price equal to the Early Redemption Amount on the redemption date (the “Tax Redemption Date”) if (i) the Issuer satisfies the Trustee immediately prior to the giving of such Tax Redemption Notice that the Issuer has or will become obliged to pay additional amounts as referred to in Condition 10 as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws or regulations of the United States or, as the case may be, the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), England or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax, or any change in the general application or official interpretation of such laws or regulations, which change or amendment becomes effective on or after November 13, 2007 and (ii) such obligation cannot be avoided by the Issuer taking reasonable measures available to it, provided that no Tax Redemption Notice shall be given earlier than ninety (90) days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obliged to pay such additional amounts were a payment in respect of the Bonds then due. Prior to the publication of any Tax Redemption Notice pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee (a) a certificate signed by two (2) directors of the Issuer stating that the obligation referred to in (i) above cannot be avoided by the Issuer taking reasonable measures available to it and (b) an opinion of independent legal or tax advisors of recognised standing to the effect that such change or amendment has occurred (irrespective of whether such amendment or change is then effective) and the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such certificate and opinion as sufficient evidence thereof in which event it shall be conclusive and binding on the Bondholders.
 
(ii)
If the Issuer gives a Tax Redemption Notice pursuant to Condition 9(C)(i), each Bondholder will have the right to elect that his Bond(s) shall not be redeemed and that the provisions of Condition 10 shall not apply in respect of any payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest to be made in respect of such Bond(s) which falls due after the relevant Tax Redemption Date whereupon no additional amounts shall be payable in respect thereof pursuant to Condition 10 and payment of all amounts shall be made subject to the deduction or withholding of any tax required to be deducted or withheld (provided that such election shall only be in respect of the deduction or withholding then required to be made and the Issuer shall comply with the provisions of Condition 10 in respect of any further deductions or withholding). To exercise a right pursuant to this Condition 9(C), the holder of the relevant Bond must complete, sign and deposit at the specified office of any Paying Agent a duly completed and signed notice of exercise, in the form for the time being current, obtainable from the specified office of any Paying Agent together with the Certificate evidencing the Bonds on or before the day falling ten (10) days prior to the Tax Redemption Date.
 
D.

Following the occurrence of a Relevant Event (as defined below), the holder of each Bond will have the right at such holder’s option, to require the Issuer to redeem all or some only of that holder’s Bonds on the Relevant Event Redemption Date (as defined below) at their Early Redemption Amount. To exercise such right, the holder of the relevant Bond must complete, sign and deposit, at his own expense, at the specified office of any Paying Agent a duly completed and signed notice of redemption, in the form for the time being current, obtainable from the specified office of any Paying Agent (the “Relevant Event Redemption Notice”) together with the Certificate evidencing the Bonds to be redeemed by not later than sixty (60) days following a Relevant Event, or, if later, sixty (60) days following the date upon which notice thereof is given to Bondholders by the Issuer in accordance with Condition 18.

(iii)
one (1) or more Persons (other than any Person referred to in sub-paragraph (i) above) acquires the legal or beneficial ownership of all or substantially all of the Issuer’s issued share capital.

In such event, the Issuer will pay such additional amounts as will result in the receipt by the Bondholders of the net amounts after such deduction or withholding equal to the amounts which would otherwise have been receivable by them had no such deduction or withholding been required except that no such additional amount shall be payable in respect of any Bond:
 
(i)

D.
Interests of Bondholders
 
In connection with the exercise of its functions (including but not limited to those in relation to any proposed modification, authorisation, waiver, determination or substitution) the Trustee shall have regard to the general interests of the Bondholders as a class but shall not have regard to any interests arising from circumstances particular to individual Bondholders (whatever their number) and, in particular but without limitation, shall not have regard to the consequences of such exercise for individual Bondholders (whatever their number) resulting from their being for any purpose domiciled or resident in, or otherwise connected with, or subject to the jurisdiction of, any particular territory or any political sub-division thereof and the Trustee shall not be entitled to require, nor shall any Bondholder be entitled to claim, from the Issuer or the Trustee or any other person, any indemnification or payment in respect of any tax consequences of any such exercise upon individual Bondholders except to the extent provided for in Condition 10 and/or any undertakings given in addition thereto or in substitution therefor pursuant to the Trust Deed.
 
In the event of the passing of an Extraordinary Resolution in accordance with Condition 15(A), a modification, waiver or authorisation in accordance with Condition 15(B) or a substitution in accordance with Condition 15(C), the Issuer will procure that the Bondholders be notified in accordance with Condition 18.
 
16.
Replacement of Certificates
 
If any Certificate is mutilated, defaced, destroyed, stolen or lost, it may be replaced at the specified office of the Registrar or any Agent upon payment by the claimant of such costs as may be incurred in connection therewith and on such terms as to evidence and indemnity as the Issuer and such Agent may require. Mutilated or defaced Certificates must be surrendered before replacements will be issued.
 
17.
Further Issues
 
The Issuer may from time to time, without the consent of the Bondholders, create and issue further bonds having the same terms and conditions as the Bonds in all respects and so that such further issue shall be consolidated and form a single series with the Bonds. Such further bonds may, with the consent of the Trustee, be constituted by a deed supplemental to the Trust Deed.
 
Trust Deed
- 66 -

 
18.
Notices
 
All notices to Bondholders shall be validly given if mailed to them at their respective addresses in the Register of Bondholders maintained by the Registrar or published in a leading newspaper having general circulation in the United States or, if such publication shall not be practicable, in an English language newspaper of general circulation in Asia. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the later of the date of such publication and the seventh day after being so mailed, as the case may be.
 
Notices to be given by (i) any Bondholder shall be in writing and given by lodging the same, together with the relative Certificate, with the Registrar, or (ii) if the Certificates are held in a clearing system, may be given through the clearing system in accordance with its standard rules and procedures.
 
19.
Agents
 
The Issuer reserves the right, subject to the prior written approval of the Trustee, at any time to vary or terminate the appointment of any Agent or the Registrar and to appoint additional or other Agents or a replacement Registrar. The Issuer will at all times maintain (a) a Principal Agent, (b) a Paying Agent with a specified office in a European Union member state that will not be obliged to withhold or deduct tax pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/EC or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform, to such Directive, and (c) a Registrar which will maintain the register of Bondholders outside the United Kingdom. Notice of any such termination or appointment, of any changes in the specified offices of any Agent or the Registrar and of any change in the identity of the Registrar or the Principal Agent will be given promptly by the Issuer to the Bondholders and in any event not less than forty-five (45) days’ notice will be given.
 
20.
Indemnification
 
The Trust Deed contains provisions for the indemnification of the Trustee and for its relief from responsibility, including provisions relieving it from taking any action unless indemnified and/or secured to its satisfaction. The Trustee is entitled to enter into business transactions with the Issuer and any entity related to the Issuer without accounting for any profit.
 
20.
Rights of Third Parties
 
No person shall have any right to enforce any term or condition of the Bonds under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999, but this does not affect any right or remedy of any person which exists or is available apart from that Act.
 
21.
GoverningLaw and Submission to Jurisdiction
 
The Trust Deed and the Bonds and all matters arising from or connected with the Trust Deed and the Bonds are governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, English law.
 
The Issuer has irrevocably agreed that the courts of England have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute which may arise out of or in connection with the Bonds and accordingly has submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
 
The Issuer has waived any objection to the courts of England on the grounds that they are an inconvenient or inappropriate forum. The Bondholder may take any suit, action or proceedings arising out of or in connection with the Bonds (“Proceedings”) against the Issuer in any other court of competent jurisdiction and concurrent Proceedings in any number of jurisdictions.
 
The Issuer as irrevocably and unconditionally appointed The London Law Agency at the latter's registered office for the time being as its agent for service of process in England in respect of any Proceedings and have undertaken that in the event of such agent ceasing so to act it will appoint such other person as the Trustee may approve as its agent for that purpose.

ISIN: [·]
Common Code: [·]

ASIA TIME CORPORATION
(incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware)
US$8,000,000
Variable Rate Convertible Bonds due 2012
 
GLOBAL CERTIFICATE
 
The Bonds in respect of which this Global Certificate is issued are in registered form and form part of the series designated as specified in the title (the “Bonds”) of Asia Time Corporation (the “Issuer”).
 
The Issuer hereby certifies that [·] is, as at the date hereof, entered in the register of Bondholders as the holder of Bonds in the principal amount of US$8,000,000 (Eight million United States dollars) or such other amount as is shown on the register of Bondholders as being represented by this Global Certificate and is duly endorsed (for information purposes only) in the third column of Schedule A to this Global Certificate. For value received, the Issuer promises to pay the person who appears at the relevant time on the register of Bondholders as holder of the Bonds in respect of which this Global Certificate is issued such amount or amounts as shall become due in respect of such Bonds and otherwise to comply with the Conditions, as referred to below.
 
The Bonds are constituted by a trust deed (the “Trust Deed”) dated [] 2007 and made between the Issuer and The Bank of New York, London Branch as trustee (the “Trustee”) and are subject to, and have the benefit of, the Trust Deed and the terms and conditions (the “Conditions” or the “Terms and Conditions”) set out in Schedule 1 to the Trust Deed, as modified by the provisions of this Global Certificate. Terms defined in the Trust Deed have the same meanings when used herein.
 
The Bonds in respect of which this Global Certificate is issued are convertible into fully-paid shares of common stock of par value US$0.0001 each of the Issuer subject to and in accordance with the Conditions and the Trust Deed.
 
Owners of interests in the Bonds in respect of which this Global Certificate is issued will be entitled to have title to the Bonds registered in their names and to receive individual definitive Certificates if either Euroclear or Clearstream (or any other clearing system (an “Alternative Clearing System”) as shall have been designated by the Issuer and approved by the Trustee on behalf of which the Bonds evidenced by this Global Certificate may be held) is closed for business for a continuous period of fourteen (14) days (other than by reason of holidays, statutory or otherwise) or announces an intention permanently to cease business or does in fact do so.
 
Trust Deed
 
- 70 -

 
In such circumstances, the Issuer will at its own expense cause sufficient individual definitive Certificates to be executed and delivered to the Registrar for completion, authentication and dispatch to all Bondholders. A person with an interest in the Bonds in respect of which this Global Certificate is issued must provide the Registrar with a written order containing instructions and such other information as the Issuer and the Registrar may require to complete, execute and deliver such individual definitive Certificates.
 
This Global Certificate is evidence of entitlement only. Title to the Bonds passes only on due registration in the register of Bondholders and only the duly registered holder is entitled to payments on Bonds in respect of which this Global Certificate is issued.
 
The Conditions are modified as follows in so far as they apply to the Bonds in respect of which this Global Certificate is issued.
 
The Registrar will not register the exchange of interests in this Global Certificate for individual definitive Certificates for a period of fifteen (15) calendar days preceding the due date for any payment of principal, interest and premium (if any) in respect of the Bonds.
 
Meetings
 
The registered holder of this Global Certificate will be treated as being two (2) persons for the purposes of any quorum requirements of a meeting of Bondholders and, at any such meeting, as having one (1) vote in respect of each US$1,000 in principal amount of Bonds for which this Global Certificate is issued. The Trustee may allow a person with an interest in Bonds in respect of which this Global Certificate has been issued to attend and speak at a meeting of Bondholders on appropriate proof of his identity and interest.
 
Cancellation
 
Cancellation of any Bond by the Issuer following its redemption, conversion or purchase by the Issuer will be effected by a reduction in the principal amount of the Bonds in the register of Bondholders.
 
Trustee’s Powers
 
In considering the interests of Bondholders while this Global Certificate is registered in the name of a nominee for a clearing system, the Trustee may, to the extent it considers it appropriate to do so in the circumstances but without being obliged to do so, (a) have regard to any information as may have been made available to it by or on behalf of the relevant clearing system or its operator as to the identity of its accountholders (either individually or by way of category) with entitlements in respect of the Bonds and (b) may consider such interests on the basis that such accountholders were the holders of the Bonds in respect of which this Global Certificate is issued.
 
Conversion
 
Subject to the requirements of Euroclear and Clearstream (or any Alternative Clearing System), the Conversion Right attaching to a Bond in respect of which this Global Certificate is issued, may be exercised by the presentation (which may be by facsimile transmission) thereof to or to the order of the Principal Agent of one (1) of more Conversion Notices duly completed by or on behalf of a holder of a book-entry interest in such Bond. Deposit of this Global Certificate with the Principal Agent together with the relevant Conversion Notice(s) shall not be required. The exercise of the Conversion Right shall be notified by the Principal Agent to the Registrar and the holder of this Global Certificate.
 
Trust Deed
 
- 71 -

 
Payment
 
Payments of principal, interest and premium (if any) in respect of Bonds represented by this Global Certificate will be made without presentation or if no further payment falls to be made in respect of the Bonds, against presentation and surrender of this Global Certificate to or to the order of the Principal Agent or such other Paying Agent as shall have been notified to the Bondholders for such purpose.
 
Notices
 
So long as the Bonds are represented by this Global Certificate and this Global Certificate is held on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream or the Alternative Clearing System, notices to Bondholders may be given by delivery of the relevant notice to Euroclear or Clearstream or the Alternative Clearing System, for communication by it to entitled accountholders in substitution for notification as required by the Conditions.
 
Bondholders’ Redemption
 
The Bondholders’ redemption options in Conditions 9(D) and 9(E) may be exercised by the holder of this Global Certificate giving notice (which may be made by facsimile transmission) to the Principal Agent of the principal amount of Bonds in respect of which the option is exercised and presenting this Global Certificate for endorsement or exercise within the time limits specified in those Conditions.
 
Registration of Title
 
Certificates in definitive form for individual holdings of Bonds will not be issued in exchange for interests in Bonds in respect of which the Global Certificate is issued, except if either Euroclear or Clearstream (or any alternative clearing system on behalf of which the Bonds evidenced by the Global Certificate may be held) is closed for business for a continuous period of fourteen (14) days (other than by reason of holidays, statutory or otherwise) or announces an intention permanently to cease business or does in fact do so.
 
Transfers
 
Transfers of interests in the Bonds will be effected through the records of Euroclear and Clearstream and their respective participants in accordance with the rules and procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream and their respective direct and indirect participants.
 
Enforcement
 
For the purposes of enforcement of the provisions of the Trust Deed against the Trustee, the persons named in a certificate of the holder of the Bonds in respect of which this Global Certificate is issued shall be recognised as the beneficiaries of the trust set out in the Trust Deed, to the extent of the principal amounts of their interest in the Bonds set out in the certificate of the holder, as if they were themselves the holders of Bonds in such principal amounts.
 
For all purposes the Bonds in respect of which this Global Certificate is issued, each person who is for the time being shown in the records of Euroclear or of Clearstream as the holder of a particular principal amount of such Bonds (in which regard any certificate or other document issued by Euroclear or Clearstream as to the principal amount of Bonds represented by a Global Certificate standing to the account of any person shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes) shall be recognised as the holder of such principal amount of Bonds.

SCHEDULE 3
 
PROVISIONS FOR MEETINGS OF BONDHOLDERS
 
1.
A holder of a Bond may by an instrument in writing (a “form of proxy”) in the form available from the specified office of any Agent in English signed by the holder or, in the case of a corporation, executed under its common seal or signed on its behalf by an attorney or a duly authorised officer of the corporation and delivered to the Agent not later than twenty-four (24) hours before the time fixed for any meeting, appoint any person (a “proxy”) to act on his or its behalf in connection with any meeting or proposed meeting of Bondholders.
 
2.
A holder of a Bond which is a corporation may by delivering to any Agent not later than twenty-four (24) hours before the time fixed for any meeting a resolution of its directors or other governing body in English authorise any person to act as its representative (a “representative”) in connection with any meeting or proposed meeting of Bondholders.
 
3.
A proxy or representative so appointed shall so long as such appointment remains in force be deemed, for all purposes in connection with any meeting or proposed meeting of Bondholders specified in such appointment, to be the holder of the Bonds to which such appointment relates and the holder of the Bond shall be deemed for such purposes not to be the holder.
 
4.
Each of the Issuer and the Trustee may at any time convene a meeting of Bondholders. If the Trustee receives a written request by Bondholders holding at least ten percent (10%) in principal amount of the Bonds for the time being outstanding and is indemnified to its satisfaction against all costs and expenses, the Trustee shall convene a meeting of Bondholders. Every meeting shall be held at a time and place approved by the Trustee.
 
5.
At least twenty-one (21) days’ notice (exclusive of the day on which the notice is given and of the day of the meeting) shall be given to the Bondholders to convene a meeting of Bondholders. A copy of the notice shall be given by the party convening the meeting to the other parties. The notice shall specify the day, time and place of meeting, be given in the manner provided in the Conditions and shall specify, unless the Trustee otherwise agrees, the nature of the resolutions to be proposed and shall include a statement to the effect that the holders of Bonds may appoint proxies by executing and delivering a form of proxy in English to the specified office of an Agent not later than twenty-four (24) hours before the time fixed for the meeting or, in the case of corporations, may appoint representatives by resolution in English of their directors or other governing body and by delivering an executed copy of such resolution to the Agent not later than twenty-four (24) hours before the time fixed for the meeting.
 
6.
A person (who may, but need not, be a Bondholder) nominated in writing by the Trustee may act as chairman of a meeting but if no such nomination is made or if the person nominated is not present within fifteen (15) minutes after the time fixed for the meeting the Bondholders present shall choose one (1) of their number to be chairman, failing which, the Issuer may appoint the chairman. The chairman of an adjourned meeting need not be the same person as was chairman of the original meeting.
 
7.
At a meeting two (2) or more persons present in person holding Bonds or being proxies or representatives and holding or representing in the aggregate not less than ten percent (10%) in principal amount of the Bonds for the time being outstanding shall (except for the purpose of passing an Extraordinary Resolution) form a quorum for the transaction of business and no business (other than the choosing of a chairman) shall be transacted unless the requisite quorum be present at the commencement of business. The quorum at a meeting for passing an Extraordinary Resolution shall (subject as provided below) be two (2) or more persons present in person holding Bonds or being proxies or representatives and holding or representing in the aggregate over fifty percent (50%) in principal amount of the Bonds for the time being outstanding provided that the quorum at any meeting the business of which includes any of the matters specified in the proviso to paragraph 16 shall be two (2) or more persons so present holding Bonds or being proxies or representatives and holding or representing in the aggregate not less than two-thirds (2/3) in principal amount of the Bonds for the time being outstanding.
 
Trust Deed
 
- 77 -

 
8.
If within fifteen (15) minutes from the time fixed for a meeting a quorum is not present the meeting shall, if convened upon the requisition of Bondholders or if the Issuer and the Trustee agree, be dissolved. In any other case it shall stand adjourned to such date, not less than fourteen (14) nor more than forty-two (42) days later, and to such place as the chairman may decide. At such adjourned meeting two (2) or more persons present in person holding Bonds or being proxies or representatives (whatever the principal amount of the Bonds so held or represented) shall form a quorum and may pass any resolution and decide upon all matters which could properly have been dealt with at the meeting from which the adjournment took place had a quorum been present at such meeting provided that at any adjourned meeting at which is to be proposed an Extraordinary Resolution for the purpose of effecting any of the modifications specified in the proviso to paragraph 16 the quorum shall be two (2) or more persons so present holding Bonds or being proxies or representatives and holding or representing in the aggregate not less than one-third (1/3) in principal amount of the Bonds for the time being outstanding.
 
9.
The chairman may with the consent of (and shall if directed by) a meeting adjourn the meeting from time to time and from place to place but no business shall be transacted at an adjourned meeting which might not lawfully have been transacted at the meeting from which the adjournment took place.
 
10.
At least ten (10) days’ notice of any meeting adjourned through want of a quorum shall be given in the same manner as for an original meeting and such notice shall state the quorum required at the adjourned meeting. No notice need, however, otherwise be given of an adjourned meeting.
 
11.
Each question submitted to a meeting shall be decided in the first instance by a show of hands and in case of equality of votes the chairman shall both on a show of hands and on a poll have a casting vote in addition to the vote or votes (if any) which he may have as a Bondholder or as a holder of a voting certificate or as a proxy or representative.
 
12.
Unless a poll is (before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands) demanded at a meeting by the chairman, the Issuer, the Trustee or by one (1) or more persons holding one (1) or more Bonds or being proxies or representatives and holding or representing in the aggregate not less than two percent (2%) in principal amount of the Bonds for the time being outstanding, a declaration by the chairman that a resolution has been carried or carried by a particular majority or lost or not carried by a particular majority shall be conclusive evidence of the fact without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favour of or against such resolution.
 
13.
If a poll is demanded, it shall be taken in such manner and (subject as provided below) either at once or after such an adjournment as the chairman directs and the result of such poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll was demanded as at the date of the taking of the poll. The demand for a poll shall not prevent the continuation of the meeting for the transaction of any business other than the question on which the poll has been demanded.
 
Trust Deed
 
- 78 -

 
14.
A poll demanded on the election of a chairman or on any question of adjournment shall be taken at the meeting without adjournment.
 
15.
The Issuer and the Trustee (through their respective representatives) and their respective financial and legal advisers may attend and speak at any meeting of Bondholders. No one else may attend or speak at a meeting of Bondholders unless he is the holder of a Bond or is a proxy or a representative.
 
16.
On a show of hands every holder who is present in person or any person who is present and is a proxy or a representative shall have one (1) vote and on a poll every person who is so present shall have one (1) vote in respect of each Bond produced or in respect of which he is a proxy or a representative. Without prejudice to the obligations of proxies, a person entitled to more than one (1) vote need not use them all or cast them all in the same way.
 
17.
A proxy need not be a Bondholder.
 
18.
A meeting of Bondholders shall, subject to the Conditions, in addition to the powers given above, but without prejudice to any powers conferred on other persons by this Trust Deed, have power exercisable by Extraordinary Resolution:
 
 
18.1
to sanction any proposal by the Issuer for any modification, abrogation, variation or compromise of, or arrangement in respect of, the rights of the Bondholders against the Issuer whether or not such rights arise under this Trust Deed;
 
 
18.2
to sanction the exchange or substitution for the Bonds of, or the conversion of the Bonds into, shares, bonds, or other obligations or securities of the Issuer or any other entity;
 
 
18.3
to assent to any modification of this Trust Deed or the Bonds which shall be proposed by the Issuer or the Trustee;
 
 
18.4
to authorise anyone to concur in and do anything necessary to carry out and give effect to an Extraordinary Resolution;
 
 
18.5
to give any authority, direction or sanction required to be given by Extraordinary Resolution;
 
 
18.6
to appoint any persons (whether Bondholders or not) as a committee or committees to represent the interests of the Bondholders and to confer on them any powers or discretions which the Bondholders could themselves exercise by Extraordinary Resolution;
 
 
18.7
to approve the substitution of any entity for the Issuer (or any previous substitute) as principal debtor under this Trust Deed;
 
 
18.8
to approve a proposed new Trustee and to remove a Trustee; and
 
 
18.9
to discharge or exonerate the Trustee from any liability in respect of any act or omission for which it may become responsible under this Trust Deed or the Bonds,
 
provided that the special quorum provisions contained in the proviso to paragraph 5 and, in the case of an adjourned meeting, in the proviso to paragraph 6 shall apply for the purpose of making any modification to the provisions contained in this Trust Deed or the Bonds which would have the effect of:
 
Trust Deed
 
- 79 -

 
 
18.9.1
modifying the due date for any payment in respect of the Bonds; or
 
 
18.9.2
reducing or cancelling the amount of principal, interest, premium, or default interest (including any Early Redemption Amount) or Equivalent Amount payable in respect of the Bonds or changing the method of calculation of the Early Redemption Amount; or
 
 
18.9.3
changing the currency of payment of the Bonds; or
 
 
18.9.4
modifying (except by a unilateral and unconditional reduction in the Conversion Price) or cancelling the Conversion Rights or the options specified in Conditions 9(D) or 9(E); or
 
 
18.9.5
modifying the provisions contained in this Schedule concerning the quorum required at a meeting of Bondholders or the majority required to pass an Extraordinary Resolution or sign a resolution in writing; or
 
 
18.9.6
amending this proviso.
 
19.
An Extraordinary Resolution passed at a meeting of Bondholders duly convened and held in accordance with this Trust Deed shall be binding on all the Bondholders, whether or not present at the meeting, and each of them shall be bound to give effect to it accordingly. The passing of such a resolution shall be conclusive evidence that the circumstances of such resolution justify the passing of it.
 
20.
The expression “Extraordinary Resolution” means a resolution passed at a meeting of Bondholders duly convened and held in accordance with these provisions by a majority consisting of not less than three-quarters (3/4) of the votes cast at such meeting.
 
21.
A resolution in writing signed by or on behalf of the holders of not less than ninety percent (90%) in principal amount of the Bonds who for the time being are entitled to receive notice of a meeting in accordance with these provisions shall for all purposes be as valid as an Extraordinary Resolution passed at a meeting of Bondholders convened and held in accordance with these provisions. Such resolution in writing may be in one (1) document or several documents in like form each signed by or on behalf of one (1) or more of the Bondholders.
 
22.
Minutes shall be made of all resolutions and proceedings at every meeting and, if purporting to be signed by the chairman of that meeting or of the next succeeding meeting of Bondholders, shall be conclusive evidence of the matters in them. Until the contrary is proved every meeting for which minutes have been so made and signed shall be deemed to have been duly convened and held and all resolutions passed or proceedings transacted at it to have been duly passed and transacted.
 
23.
Subject to all other provisions contained in this Trust Deed, the Trustee may without the consent of the Bondholders prescribe such further regulations regarding the holding of meetings and attendance and voting at them or regarding the making of resolutions in writing as the Trustee may in its sole discretion determine including (without limitation) such regulations and requirements as the Trustee thinks reasonable to satisfy itself that persons who purport to make any requisition in accordance with this Trust Deed are entitled to do so and that those who purport to attend or vote at a meeting or to sign a written resolution are entitled to do so.
