(Paraphrased from Article 237 of the Contract Law of the Peoples Republic of China (the “Contract Law”) adopted by the National Peoples Congress of the Peoples Republic of China on March 15, 1999 and implemented from October 1, 1999.)

Law Governing the Contra
8、ct. For lease contracts with a foreign element, the parties may negotiate on the selection of the governing law, which may be the law of the country where one of the parties is located, the law of the place where the contract is executed, the law of the place where the Leased Object is delivered, th
9、e law of the place where the Leased Object is to be used or international practice. According to Article 4 of the Regulations of the Supreme Peoples Court on Several Issues Concerning the Trial of Finance Lease Contract Disputes, if the parties have not selected the governing law (of the lease contr
10、act), the law of the place where the lessee is located shall apply. Chinese Law has been selected as the law governing this Lease Contract and the main basis hereof shall be the Contract Law of the Peoples Republic of China (the “Contract Law”).1. OBJECT OF THE LEASEPursuant to Party Bs requirements
11、 and discretionary selection, Party A, with the aim of leasing the object specified in item (1) of the Schedule hereto (the “Leased Object”) to Party B, shall finance the purchase thereof and lease the same to Party B and PartyB shall lease the same from Party A and use the same. A typical finance l
12、ease contract involves three parties and two contracts, i.e. the sales contract between the lessor and the seller and the lease contract between the lessor and the lessee. The contents of the former are largely similar to general trade or sales contracts, although the seller should perform his oblig
13、ation of supplying the goods directly to the lessee and acknowledge that the lessee has the same contractual rights as the buyer (i.e. the lessor). Accordingly, the provisions of the sales contract should be consistent with those of the lease contract and in general will only enter into effect if co
14、nfirmed by the lessee. Furthermore, considered from the point of view of protecting the lessor, the sales contract should specify that if, for any reason, the lessor fails to perform the lease contract before the delivery of the goods, the lessor has the right to unconditionally terminate the sales
15、contract.2. LEASE TERMThe lease term shall be that specified in item (5) of the Schedule and the lease commencement date shall be the date on which Party B signs the bill of lading as specified in paragraph 1 of Clause 5 hereof or, alternatively, the date on which PartyA posts the bill of lading as
16、specified in paragraph 2 of Article 5 hereof.3. LEASE PAYMENT3.1 Party A shall finance the purchase of the Leased Object for Party B and PartyB must make lease payments to Party A for the lease of the Leased Object. The lease payment amount, date and place of payment, currency and number of payments
17、 are specified in item (9) of the Schedule.3.2 The lease payment amount mentioned in the preceding paragraph shall be calculated in accordance with the budgeted cost specified in item (7) of the Schedule (the “Budgeted Cost”). However, if on the lease commencement date there is a discrepancy between
18、 the actual cost and the Budgeted Cost of the Leased Object, the actual cost shall prevail and the lease payment shall be calculated accordingly on the basis of the actual cost.3.3 For the purposes of the preceding paragraph, the term “Actual Cost” means the total of all the amounts, expenses and in
19、terest thereon paid in foreign exchange and Renminbi by Party A in order to purchase the Leased Object and deliver the same to Party B. Interest shall be calculated at the rate of _ percent per annum for foreign currency and _ percent per annum for Renminbi for the period between the date of payment
20、 by Party A or the date on which Party A actually assumes the same until the lease commencement date of the Leased Object.3.4 Pursuant to paragraphs 2 and 3 of this Article, if there is a discrepancy between the Actual Cost and the Budgeted Cost, Party A shall provide a Calculation of the Actual Cos
21、t of the Leased Object and an Actual Lease Payment Form to Party B, shall inform Party B of the amount of the Actual Cost and that the Actual Cost shall prevail and shall revise items (8), (9), (10), (11) and (12) of the Schedule.

24、y specify the lease term and the term during which a lease payment will be assessed (the “Base Lease Term”), usually calculated in years. The length of the Base Lease Term is determined on the basis of certain relevant factors including the number of years of use of the Leased Object, cash flow, rel
25、evant expenses, etc. In the case of machinery, equipment, computers, etc., the normal term is five years.As for the starting date of the Base Lease Term, the delivery date indicated on the receipt for the Leased Object may be deemed the date on which calculation commences, or calculation may commenc
26、e from the date on which the seller seeks payment or another date agreed upon by the Parties.The lease payment is one of the key provisions of a finance lease contract. The relevant provisions should include the amount thereof or the method of calculating the same and the lease payment conditions an
27、d requirements (See Article 243 of the Contract Law). In general, the lease payment consists of the total cost of the Leased Object plus the lessors profit. The total cost includes the price, freight, insurance, the interest on the lessorss financing and the lessors expenses.At the time the contract
28、 is drafted, the lease payment is usually calculated on the basis of the Budgeted Cost. In general, if at the time the Leased Object is actually delivered the total cost of the Leased Object differs from the Budgeted Cost, the Actual Cost prevails and the lease payment is adjusted accordingly. The P
29、arties may specify in the lease contract that, under such circumstances, the lessor will notify the lessee thereof in writing and the change will be effected after confirmation by the lessee. The lessee may not object to any reasonable adjustment made to the lease payment as a result of the aforemen
30、tioned circumstance.The lease contract should expressly specify the amount, method of and place of lease payment, the lease commencement date (i.e. the date on which calculation of the lease payment commences), the currency in which the lease payment is to be paid, the payment rate and the date on w
31、hich each payment is to be made. The main conditions relating to the lease payment method are set forth below:(i)advanced payment or post-payment of the lease payment;(ii)payment in installments: equal payments may be made on a daily or quarterly basis or even on a bi-annual or annual basis;(iii)equ
32、al or variable payments: in international finance leases, the lease payment is paid in equal installments is normal practice, although payment in unequal installments may also be adopted, e.g. seasonal payment, progressive increase during repayment period, progressive decrease during repayment perio

34、ions, model, performance, quality, quantity, technical standards, the contents and quality of the services connected therewith, technical warranties, price terms, delivery date, etc. and shall negotiate the same directly with the seller.

One of the main differences between a finance lease and a general operational lease is that the decision on the subject matter of the lease, supplier, the quality requirements and technical specifications
39、in respect of the subject matter, etc. rests with the lessee rather than the lessor. Accordingly, the following provisions on the requirements in respect of the subject matter of the lease should be specified in the finance lease contract: (i)the fact that the Leased Object is purchased by the lesso
40、r in accordance with the requirements of the lessee and is provided to the lessee for its use should be specified;(ii)the requirements of the lessee in respect of the Leased Objects description, specifications, model, technical requirements; and(iii)the special requirements of the lessee in respect
41、of the supplier of the Leased Object, e.g. the designation of a certain supplier in a certain place. (See Article 239 of the Contract Law)5.

45、reupon Party A shall be deemed to have completed delivery of the Leased Object to Party B and Party B to have delivered the receipt for the Leased Object to Party A.
