Incentive Percentage =

All above variables are measured on the Customer's entire IPLC DDS network at circuit speed 56Kbps and above.

Hubbing Expansion Incentive Scheme Criteria:

To quality for the Incentive Scheme, all of the following criteria may have to be fulfilled to the Company's satisfaction:

1. The Customer must use Hong Kong as the main regional telecommunications hub.
2. The Customer must commit to the Company on its IPLC DDS expansion requirement in terms of bandwidth volume, number of circuit and number of destination countries.
3. The total current bandwidth usage of the Customer's entire IPLC DDS network must not be less than 256Kbps.
4. The total current number of circuits employed by the Customer must not be less than 3.
5. The total current number of destination countries of the Customer's hubbing network must not be less than 3.

Notes:

Cancellation Charge:
In the event that the Customer fails to meet the committed expansion of its network by the end of the committed network hubbing expansion period or cancels the Incentive Scheme during the committed network hubbing expansion period, the Customer shall be liable to a cancellation charge based on the following formula:

Scheme Billed Amount x Incentive Percentage / (1 - Incentive Percentage)

where, Scheme Billed Amount refers to the total billed charges for all IPLCs subject to the Incentive Scheme during the committed network expansion period in which the Incentive Scheme has been applied.

APPENDIX IPLC_Px.I.G.4

GUIDANCE NOTES FOR PLATINUM DISCOUNT PLAN

1. General Rules

All full time use of the Digital Data Service (DDS) circuits at speed 56Kbps and above will qualify for the DDS Discount Plan.

The customer can choose and apply one DDS Discount Plan for his IPLC DDS network with circuit speed at 56Kbps and above. Customer can have the option to switch from one DDS Discount Plan to another DDS Discount Plan provided that the Minimum Commitment Period is unchanged as a result of the plan change. Provided that the Minimum Commitment Period has not changed the Company may waive the Cancellation Charges in relation to the plan change. The cut over date to other DDS Discount Plan will be on the 1st day of the following month.

All DDS Discount Plans' incentives will be applied to the Monthly Basic Rentals. The calculation of discounts is on discount-on-discount basis i.e. Monthly Basic Rental x { 1 - Discount A } x { 1 - Discount B } …. = Net Discounted Amount.

Unless otherwise agreed between the Company and the Customer, the Minimum Commitment Period of full time DDS circuits at speed 56Kbps and above is 3 months.

2. Platinum Discount Plan

2.1 This discount plan applies to full time DDS circuits at speeds 56Kbps and above. All
circuits which will be subject to this discount plan must have at least one year Minimum Commitment Period with the Company in order to qualify for the Platinum Discount Plan.

2.2 There are two hubbing discount options under this Platinum Discount Plan, namely:

e.Circuit Discount Option (consists of Circuit Discount + Country Discount); and
e.Bandwidth Discount Option (consists of Megabits Discount + Country Discount).

N.B. These hubbing discount options are not applicable to sub-rate DDS circuits at
speed below 56Kbps.

2.3 In calculating the number of circuits under the e.Circuit Discount Option, circuit speeds at and below E1 will be counted as one circuit and circuit speeds above E1 will be counted in steps of E1 bearers, e.g. one T3 circuit equals 21 E1 circuits.

2.4 In calculating qualification for the Country Discount's incentives under the e.Circuit
Discount Option, countries with aggregated bandwidth less than 128Kbps will not be included in the calculation of the number of countries.

2.5 In calculating qualification for the Country Discount's incentives under the e.Bandwidth
Discount Option, the Customer must subscribe to CWHKTI for aggregate bandwidth usage not less than 20Mbps for the Customer's IPLC DDS network with circuit speeds at 56Kbps and above included in the e.Bandwidth Discount calculation, and in calculating the number of countries, those countries with aggregate bandwidth of less than 1Mbps will not be included.

3. Additional Incentives

3.1 Satellite Discount
