ARTICLE II

Guarantee

Section 2.1 Guarantee. (a) The Guarantor irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally:

(i)	as principal obligor and not merely as surety, guarantees to DEG the due and punctual payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; and

(ii)

undertakes with DEG that whenever the SPV does not pay any amount of the Guaranteed Obligations when due the Guarantor will, upon demand by DEG, pay that amount to DEG, in the currency prescribed in the DEG Loan Agreement, and otherwise in the same manner in all respects as the Guaranteed Obligations are required to be paid by the SPV.

(b) The Guarantor waives notice of acceptance of this Agreement and notice of any liability to which it may apply, and waives presentment, demand of payment, protest, notice of dishonor or nonpayment of any such liability, suit or taking of other action by DEG against, and any other notice to, any party liable thereon (including such Guarantor or any other guarantor).

Section 2.2 Continuing Guarantee. (a) The guarantee contained in this Agreement is a continuing obligation of the Guarantor (and all liabilities to which it applies or may apply under the terms of this Agreement shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance on this Agreement), notwithstanding any settlement of account or the occurrence of any other thing, and shall remain in full force and effect until the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully paid strictly in accordance with the provisions of the DEG Loan Agreement, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge.

(b) The guarantee contained in this Agreement shall be an additional, separate and independent obligation of the Guarantor.

(c) The Guarantor’s obligations under this Agreement can be discharged only by payment and then only to the extent of such payment. These obligations are not subject to any prior notice to, demand upon or action against the SPV or to any prior notice to the Guarantor with regard to any default by the SPV.

Section 2.3 No Set-off. All payments which the Guarantor is required to make under this Agreement shall be without any set-off, counterclaim or condition.

Section 2.4 Taxes. (a) The Guarantor shall pay or cause to be paid all present and future taxes, duties, fees and other charges of whatsoever nature, if any, now or in the future levied or imposed by the Government of the PRC or by any Authority or any jurisdiction through or out of which a payment is made on or in connection with the payment of any and all amounts due under this Agreement.

(b) All payments due under this Agreement shall be made without deduction for or on account of any such taxes, duties, fees or other charges.

(c) If the Guarantor is prevented by operation of law or otherwise from making or causing to be made such payments without deduction, the amounts due under this Agreement shall be increased to such amount as may be necessary so that DEG receives the full amount it would have received (taking into account any such taxes, duties, fees or other charges payable on amounts payable by the Guarantor under this subsection) had such payments been made without such deduction.

(d) If subsection (c) above applies and DEG so requires, the Guarantor shall deliver to DEG official tax receipts evidencing payment (or certified copies of them) within thirty (30) days of the date of payment.

Section 2.5 Certificate Conclusive. A certificate of DEG stating:

(a) the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations due and payable; or

(a) any Security; and

(b) any other document or agreement which is a security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations and any other moneys, in such manner as it determines in its absolute discretion.

Section 2.7 Allocation. If the Guarantor at any time pays to DEG an amount less than the full amount then due and payable to DEG under this Agreement, DEG may allocate and apply such payment to the Guaranteed Obligations in any way or manner and for such purpose or purposes as DEG in its sole discretion determines, notwithstanding any instruction that the Guarantor might give to the contrary.

ARTICLE III

Saving Provisions

Section 3.1 Waiver of Defenses. The Guarantor’s obligations under this Guarantee shall not be affected or impaired by any act, omission, circumstance (other than complete payment of the Guaranteed Obligations), matter or thing which, but for this provision, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Agreement or which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or a guarantor, including (whether or not known to the Guarantor or to DEG):

(a) any time, waiver, composition, forbearance or concession given to the SPV or any other person;

(b) any assertion of, or failure to assert, or delay in asserting, any right, power or remedy against the SPV or any other person, or in respect of any security for the Loan;

(c) any amplification, amendment (however fundamental), variation or replacement of the provisions of any Transaction Document or of any other agreement or security between DEG and the SPV;

(d) any failure of the SPV or the Guarantor to comply with any requirement of any law, regulation or order;

(e) the dissolution, liquidation, reorganization or other alteration of the legal status or structure of the SPV or the Guarantor;

(f) any purported or actual assignment of the Loan by DEG to any other party; or

(g) the DEG Loan Agreement or any other Transaction Document being in whole or in part illegal, void, voidable, avoided, invalid, unenforceable or otherwise of limited force and effect.

Section 3.2 Immediate Recourse. The Guarantor waives any right it may have of first requiring DEG (or any trustee, agent or other person acting on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any person before claiming from the Guarantor under this Agreement.

Section 3.3 Non-Subrogation, etc. (a) If any amounts have become payable or have been paid by the Guarantor under this Agreement, the Guarantor shall not, in respect of such monies, seek to enforce repayment, obtain the benefit of any security or exercise any other rights or legal remedies of any kind which may accrue to the Guarantor against the SPV, whether by way of subrogation, offset, counterclaim or otherwise, in respect of the amount so payable or so paid (or in respect of any other monies for the time being due to the Guarantor from the SPV) if and for so long as any Guaranteed Obligations remain payable.

The Guarantor shall hold in trust for, and forthwith pay or transfer to, DEG any payment or distribution or benefit of security received by it contrary to this Section 3.3.

(b) Upon the payment and satisfaction in full of all the Guaranteed Obligations and of all sums now or in future becoming due to DEG from the Guarantor pursuant to this Agreement, the Guarantor, if it has made a payment under this Agreement, shall be entitled to exercise its rights of subrogation to its proportion of all relevant rights of DEG against the SPV pursuant to the DEG Loan Agreement. DEG shall promptly execute, at the expense of the Guarantor, an assignment and such other documents in such form as the Guarantor may reasonably request to transfer such proportion of such rights of DEG against the SPV to the Guarantor as are required for the Guarantor to obtain the full benefit of such subrogation. The Guarantor shall enforce such rights directly against the SPV in its own name and not in the name of DEG.

Section 3.4 Bankruptcy or Liquidation of the SPV. If the SPV is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the SPV, or any substantial part of its property or other assets, is appointed, or the SPV makes any

arrangement with its creditors, or is liquidated or wound up, the Guarantor shall not claim, rank, prove or vote as a creditor of the SPV or its estate in competition with DEG in respect of any amounts owing to the Guarantor by the SPV on any account whatsoever, but instead shall give DEG the benefit of any such proof and of all amounts to be received in respect of that proof until all Guaranteed Obligations have been fully paid.

Section 3.5 Appropriation of Monies. Until all of the Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full, DEG (or any trustee, agent or other person acting on its behalf) may:

(a) refrain from applying or enforcing any other monies, security or rights held or received by DEG (or such trustee, agent or other person) in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, or apply and enforce the same in such manner and order as it sees fit (whether against the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise) and the Guarantor shall not be entitled to the benefit of the same; and

(b) hold and keep for such time as it thinks prudent any monies received, recovered or realized under this Agreement, to the credit either of the Guarantor or such other person or persons as it thinks fit or in a suspense account.

Section 3.6 Reinstatement. (a) Where any discharge (whether in respect of the obligations of the SPV, the Guarantor or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is made in whole or in part or any arrangement is made on the faith of any payment, security or other disposition which is avoided or must be restored on insolvency, liquidation or otherwise without limitation, the liability of the Guarantor under this Agreement shall continue or shall be reinstated (as the case may be) as if such discharge or arrangement had not occurred.

(b) DEG (or any trustee, agent or other person acting on its behalf) may concede or compromise any claim that any payment, security or other disposition is liable to avoidance or restoration.

Section 3.7 Additional Security. This Agreement is in addition to and is not in any way prejudiced by any collateral or other security now or in future held by DEG, nor shall such collateral or other security held by DEG or the liability of any person for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations be in any manner prejudiced or affected by this Agreement.
