Datang Finance Company and TPGC in relation to the provision of the Entrusted
Loan by the Company to TPGC through the Entrusted Loan Arrangement, in which
Datang Finance Company acts as lending agent.

Major terms of the Entrusted Loan Agreement

Entrusted Loan Arrangement

Pursuant to the Entrusted Loan Agreement, Datang Finance Company is designated
by the Company to act as a lending agent to release the Entrusted Loan, which
is funded by the Company, to TPGC and to monitor the use and repayment of the
Entrusted Loans by TPGC.

Principal amount of the Entrusted Loan

RMB3,000 million

Term

The term of borrowing stipulated in the agreement is one year.

Interest rate

At a floating interest rate, being 10% floating downward as compared to the
benchmark interest rate announced by the People's Bank of China on the actual
date of granting the loan. During the term of the agreement, the lending rate
will be adjusted on the twenty-first day of the last month of the following
quarter since the actual date of granting the loan. Such interest rate is
arrived at after arm's length negotiation between the Company and TPGC after
considering the overall reduction of capital costs to the Group as the accounts
of TPGC (being the controlled subsidiary of the Company) are consolidated into
the accounts of the Company.

Repayment schedule for the principal of the Entrusted Loan

Agreement.

The settlement date falls on the twentieth (20th) day of the last month of each
quarter.

Handling charge

The handling charge for the Entrusted Loan under the Entrusted Loan Agreement
is calculated at 0.025% of the principal amount of the Entrusted Loan. TPGC

within five working days when the Entrusted Loan Agreement becomes effective.

Effective Date

Articles of Association and the Listing Rules.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF ENTERING INTO THE ENTRUSTED LOAN AGREEMENT

In order to ensure the turnover of capital at TPGC and to reduce financing
costs, the Company intends to provide the Entrusted Loan to TPGC. Furthermore,
according to the Entrusted Loan Agreement, Datang Finance Company shall collect
a handling charge of 0.025%for acting as the lending agent for the Company's
Entrusted Loan, which is lower than the handling charge imposed by other
commercial banks for providing similar services. Therefore, the Company is of
the view that the provision of the Entrusted Loan to TPGC through Datang
Finance Company is beneficial for ensuring TPGC's repayment of due borrowings
and the normal turnaround of working capital, as well as reducing the overall
capital costs of the Company.

The terms of the Entrusted Loan Agreement were negotiated on an arm's length
basis between all parties thereto and were determined on normal commercial

views will be contained in the circular after considering the advice from the
independent financial advisor) believe that the terms of the Entrusted Loan
Agreement are fair and reasonable and in the best interests of the Company and
the Shareholders as a whole.
