<PAGE>

0.005 per cent. on and subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Hong
Kong Offering Documents and this Agreement. The Hong Kong Offer Shares shall be
sold pursuant to the Hong Kong Public Offering free and clear of all liens,
charges and encumbrances, claims, options and third party rights, and together
with all rights attaching thereto at the date hereof, including the right to
receive all dividends or other distributions declared, made or paid on the Hong
Kong Offer Shares at any time after the date of this Agreement.

3.2     Appointment: The Company and the Selling Shareholder hereby appoint, to
the exclusion of all others:

(a)     Goldman Sachs to act as global coordinator of the Global Offering;

(b)     Goldman Sachs to act as sponsor to the Company in relation to the
        application to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for the listing of, and
        permission to deal in, the Offer Shares; and

(c)     the Hong Kong Underwriters as underwriters for the Hong Kong Public
        Offering,

and relying on the representations, warranties and undertakings herein contained
and subject as hereafter mentioned, Goldman Sachs and each Hong Kong Underwriter
respectively and severally accept such appointments.

The Company and the Selling Shareholder hereby confirm that the foregoing
appointments confer on Goldman Sachs and each Hong Kong Underwriter,
respectively, all powers, authorities and discretion on behalf of the Company
which are necessary for (or, in the case of discretions, reasonably necessary
for), or reasonably incidental to, the lawful making of the Hong Kong Public
Offering and hereby agree to ratify and confirm everything which Goldman Sachs
or any of the Hong Kong Underwriters shall lawfully do in the exercise of any
such appointments, powers, authorities and discretions. The Company and the
Selling Shareholder confirm that they will use all commercially reasonable
endeavours to procure that there is no offer, sale or distribution of the Hong
Kong Offer Shares otherwise than in accordance with and on the terms of the Hong
Kong Offering Documents and this Agreement.

Each such appointment is made on the basis and on terms that each appointee may,
as far as it relates to the Hong Kong Public Offering, at the option of such
appointee, delegate all or any of its relevant rights, duties, powers and
discretions in such manner and on such terms as it thinks fit (with or without
formality, but having (so far as practical) consulted with the Company or the
Selling Shareholder) to any one or more of its affiliates; provided, however,
that no such delegation shall in any way release any appointee from, or
otherwise reduce, the duties and responsibilities of such appointee hereunder.

3.3     Formal Notice: The Company and the Selling Shareholder will, subject to
registration of the Hong Kong Prospectus in accordance with clause 2.1(c), cause
the Formal Notice to be published in such newspapers and on such date(s) as set

writing.

                                                                         Page 13

<PAGE>

3.4     Application Lists: The application lists for the Hong Kong Offer Shares
will, subject as mentioned below, open at 11:45 a.m. on the Acceptance Date and
will close at 12:00 noon on the same day. In the event of a tropical cyclone
warning signal No. 8 or above or a "black" rainstorm warning signal (in any such
case, a signal) being in force in Hong Kong at any time between 8:00 a.m. and
12:00 noon on the Acceptance Date then the application lists will open at 11:45
a.m. and close at 12:00 noon on the next Business Day on which no signal remains
in force at any time between 8:00 a.m. and 12:00 noon and all references in this
Agreement to the closing of the application lists shall be construed
accordingly.

3.5     Acceptance of Applications: The Company and the Selling Shareholder
agree that Goldman Sachs shall have the sole and exclusive right in its absolute
discretion (and may authorize the Receiving Bankers to exercise such discretion)
and on behalf of the Company and the Selling Shareholder, on and subject to the
terms and conditions set out in the Hong Kong Offering Documents, the
Preferential Offering Documents, this Agreement and the Receiving Bankers'
Agreement, to accept or reject (in whole or in part) any applications for Hong
Kong Offer Shares and/or Reserved Shares. Where the number of Hong Kong Offer
Shares or Reserved Shares (as the case may be) being. applied for exceeds the
total number of the Hong Kong Offer Shares or the number of Reserved Shares not
taken up pursuant to Assured Entitlements (as the case may be), Goldman Sachs
shall have the right to determine the basis of allocation of the Hong Kong Offer
Shares or such excess Reserved Shares (as the case may be), having (as far as
practical) first consulted with the Selling Shareholder. Goldman Sachs, without
prejudice to clause 3.7 below, may, but shall not be obliged to, withdraw Offer
Shares from the International Offering and, on behalf of the Company and the
Selling Shareholder, make available such Offer Shares as additional Hong Kong
Offer Shares to satisfy Valid Applications. Where Goldman Sachs intends to
reject an application in the Hong Kong Public Offering for Shares with an
aggregate subscription price of more than HK$5 million (excluding Brokerage,
Trading Fee, SFC Transaction Levy and Investor Compensation Levy payable) on
grounds not contemplated by the written guidelines by which Goldman Sachs and/or
the Receiving Banks will determine whether or not an application for Shares is a
Valid Application, it shall first consult with the Selling Shareholder.

3.6     Price Determination: The Offer Price will be based on the Hong Kong
dollar equivalent of the US dollar price at which ADSs are to be offered in the
International Offering. The price of such ADSs will be fixed in accordance with
the International Underwriting Agreement on the Price Determination Date. The
Offer Price will be determined as that amount which, when increased by Brokerage
at the rate of 1 per cent., SFC Transaction Levy at the rate of 0.005 per cent.,
Investor Compensation Levy at the rate of 0.002 per cent. and Trading Fee at the
rate of 0.005 per cent. thereon, is (subject to any necessary rounding) equal to
the US dollar per ADS (i) converted into Hong Kong dollars at the average of the
bid and offered exchange rates quoted by The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking
Corporation Limited at the close of business on the Business Day prior to the
Price Determination Date and (ii) divided by 15 (being the number of Offer
Shares represented by each ADS), provided that the Offer Price (exclusive of
Brokerage, SFC Transaction Levy, Investor Compensation Levy and Trading Fee)
shall not exceed HK$7.55 and is expected to be not lower than HK$6.52. The Offer
Price shall upon its determination be recorded in the Price

                                                                         Page 14

<PAGE>

Determination Agreement to be executed by the Selling Shareholder and Goldman
Sachs (on behalf of the Hong Kong Underwriters) at such time.

3.7     Clawback: The aggregate number of Initial Public Offer Shares shall be

increased in the following manner in the event of a Hong Kong Public Offering
over-subscription:

(a)     if the number of Shares which are the subject of Valid Applications
        represents 15 times or more but less than 50 times the number of Initial
        Public Offer Shares, then Shares will be reallocated to the Hong Kong
        Public Offering from the International Offering so that the total number
        of Shares available under the Hong Kong Public Offering will be
        increased to at least 346,500,000 Shares representing at least 30 per
        cent. of the total number of Shares initially available in the Global
        Offering (without any exercise of the Over-Allocation Option);

(b)     if the number of Shares which are the subject of Valid Applications
        represents 50 times or more but less than 100 times the number of
        Initial Public Offer Shares, then Shares will be reallocated to the Hong
        Kong Public Offering from the International Offering so that the total
        number of Shares available under the Hong Kong Public Offering will be
        increased to at least 462,000,000 Shares representing at least 40 per
        cent. of the total number of Shares initially available in the Global
        Offering (without any exercise of the Over-Allocation Option); and

(c)     if the number of Shares which are the subject of Valid Applications
        represents 100 times or more the number of Initial Public Offer Shares,
        then Shares will be reallocated to the Hong Kong Public Offering from
        the International Offering so that the total number of Shares available
        under the Hong Kong Public Offering will be increased to at least
        577,500,000 Shares representing at least 50 per cent. of the total
        number of Shares initially available in the Global Offering (without any
        exercise of the Over-Allocation Option).

In each such case, Goldman Sachs, after prior consultation with the Company,
shall have absolute discretion in determining the number of additional Offer
Shares reallocated to the Hong Kong Public Offering (subject to the relevant
minimum numbers in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) above, as appropriate). In addition
to the clawback mechanism described above, Goldman Sachs, after prior
consultation with the Company, shall have absolute discretion to reallocate
Offer Shares being offered pursuant to the International Offering to the Hong
Kong Public Offering.

The relevant number of International Offer Shares which are the subject of
clawback pursuant to this clause 3.7 shall be withdrawn from the International
Offering and made available as additional Initial Public Offer Shares offered
for purchase pursuant to the Hong Kong Public Offering. Any such reallocation
shall have no effect on the Selling Shareholder's obligations to pay the
commission due to the Hong Kong Underwriters which shall be determined pursuant
to clause 8.

3.8     Pools: The total number of Initial Public Offer Shares (after taking
into account any reallocation pursuant to clause 3.7 and clause 6.7) shall be
divided equally into two pools for allocation purposes: pool A and pool B. The
Shares in

                                                                         Page 15

<PAGE>

pool A will be allocated by Goldman Sachs in its absolute discretion, having (as
far as is practical) first consulted with the Company, on an equitable basis to
applicants who have applied for Shares with an aggregate subscription price of
HK$5 million (excluding Brokerage, Trading Fee, SFC Transaction Levy and
Investor Compensation Levy payable) or less per applicant. The Shares in pool B
will be allocated by Goldman Sachs in its absolute discretion, having (as far as
is practical) first consulted with the Company, on an equitable basis to
applicants who have applied for Shares with an aggregate subscription price of
more than HK$5 million (excluding Brokerage, Trading Fee, SFC Transaction Levy
and Investor Compensation Levy payable) per applicant. Goldman Sachs shall
determine the allocation ratio for the two pools described above, having (as far
as is practical) first consulted with the Company, and subject to the provisions
relevant thereto set out in the section headed "Structure of the Global
Offering" in the Hong Kong Prospectus. Any Shares which are reallocated from the
International Offering to the Hong Kong Public Offering pursuant to clause 3.7
shall, subject to the provisions of this clause and the Hong Kong Offering
Documents, be allocated in such manner as Goldman Sachs may in its absolute
discretion determine, having (as far as is practical) first consulted with the
Company.

3.9     Changes to Price Range, Initial Public Offer Shares and/or Offer Shares:
Goldman Sachs on behalf of the Hong Kong Underwriters may, where considered
appropriate, based on the level of interest expressed by prospective investors
during the book-building process, with the prior written consent of the Selling
Shareholder (in consultation with the Company), change the indicative offer
price range or the number of Initial Public Offer Shares and/or Offer Shares as
stated in the Hong Kong Prospectus, subject to compliance with applicable Law
and the Listing Rules. In any such case, the Company and the Selling Shareholder
shall, as soon as practicable following the decision to make such change and in
any event not later than the morning of the Acceptance Date, cause to be
published in The Standard (in English) and the Sing Tao Daily (in Chinese)
notices of the change in the indicative offer price range and/or the number of
the Initial Public Offer Shares and/or Offer Shares.

3.10    Receiving Bankers: The Company and the Selling Shareholder will prior to
the Prospectus Date appoint the Receiving Bankers to act as receiving bankers in

subject to the terms and conditions of the Receiving Bankers' Agreement.

3.11    Branch Share Registrar: The Company and the Selling Shareholder will
prior to the Prospectus Date appoint the Branch Share Registrar to provide

Letter.

3.12    Minimum Public Float under Listing Rule 8.08(1): The Company undertakes
with the Hong Kong Underwriters shall use all commercially reasonable endeavours
to ensure that each of the Directors and the directors and chief executives of
each subsidiary of the Company and their respective associates (as defined in
Listing Rule 1.01) (each a Connected Applicant) shall not make applications
under the Hong Kong Public Offering in respect of an aggregate number of Hong
Kong

                                                                         Page 16

Offer Shares which would cause the minimum percentage of Shares which are
required to be in public hands (as such phrase is construed in accordance with
the Listing Rule 8.24) on the Listing Date at the commencement of dealings in
Shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to fall below the 25% threshold
prescribed by Listing Rule 8.08(1) (excluding for the purposes of this clause
any Shares that may be sold pursuant to the exercise of Over-allocation Option)
(Minimum Public Float). The Company shall notify Goldman Sachs in writing of
information relating to applications made under the Hong Kong Public Offering by
Connected Applicants as soon as practicable following the closing of the
application lists and in any event within 24 hours thereafter. The Company shall
forthwith notify Goldman Sachs in writing if it becomes aware that the Minimum
Public Float is or may be breached on the Listing Date.

3.13    Undertakings to Hong Kong Underwriters: Without prejudice to the
foregoing obligations, each of the Company and the Selling Shareholder
undertakes with the Hong Kong Underwriters that it will do all such other acts
and things, pay all fees (as referred to in the fees and expenses letter
referred to in clause 8.3) and execute all documents as may be required for the
purpose of the Hong Kong Public Offering and obtaining listing of and permission
to deal in the Shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (including in particular,

and ensuring that each of the Directors will sign or cause to be duly signed on
their behalf all documents required to be signed by them as directors of the

as to enable the listing of and permission to deal in the Shares to commence on
15 October 2004 to be granted by the Listing Committee.

3.14    Exclusion: No Hong Kong Underwriter shall be responsible for any loss or
damage (except for any loss or damage arising solely out of any fraud, wilful
default or gross negligence on the part of that Hong Kong Underwriter) to any
persons arising from any transaction lawfully and properly carried out by it
pursuant to this Agreement or to the Selling Shareholder or the Company for any
alleged insufficiency of the Offer Price.

for itself and on behalf of the other Hong Kong Underwriters, an underwriting
commission calculated at the rate of 2.5 per cent. of the Offer Price multiplied
by the number of Initial Public Offer Shares less any Shares reallocated to the
International Offering under clause 6.7, ignoring for this purpose any Claw Back
Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, the Hong Kong Underwriters shall not be
entitled to any underwriting commissions in respect of the Claw Back Shares or
the Shares reallocated to the International Offering under clause 6.7 as the
relevant underwriting discounts and commissions relating to such Shares will be
payable to the relevant International Underwriters in accordance with the
International Underwriting Agreement and deducted from the purchase moneys
payable under the International Underwriting Agreement.

                                                                         Page 22

8.2     Allocation of underwriting commission: The allocation and distribution
of the underwriting commission referred to in clause 8.1 above among the Hong
Kong Underwriters shall be separately dealt with in the Agreement Among Hong

concerned as to or bear any liability in respect of the allocation or
distribution of such underwriting commissions by Goldman Sachs to any one or
more of the Hong Kong Underwriters.

8.3     Fees and expenses letter: The responsibility for fees and expenses in
connection with the Hong Kong Public Offering shall be as set out in the fees
and expenses letter entered into on the date of this Agreement between Goldman

8.4     Indemnity: The Company will be responsible for and will indemnify each
of the Hong Kong Underwriters against the Trading Fee, SFC Transaction Levy and

pursuant thereto (not being Brokerage, Trading Fee, SFC Transaction Levy and
Investor Compensation Levy paid by applicants in respect of the Hong Kong Offer
Shares and collected and paid by the Receiving Bankers to Goldman Sachs or in
respect of undersubscribed Hong Kong Offer Shares purchased by any Hong Kong
Underwriter or due by such Hong Kong Underwriter pursuant to any purchase of
Hong Kong Offer Shares by such Hong Kong Underwriter whether pursuant to clause
6.1 or otherwise).

8.5     Stamp or other transfer duty: The Selling Shareholder shall be liable
for all and any stamp or other transfer duty (including any penalties for late
stamping) arising in respect of the transfer and delivery to initial purchasers
procured by the Hong Kong Underwriters (including, if applicable, to each Hong
Kong Underwriter) of any or all of the Hong Kong Offer Shares shown opposite its
name in Schedule 1, in each case pursuant to this Agreement. The Company
undertakes to pay to and reimburse the Selling Shareholder in respect of any
such stamp or other transfer duty (including any penalties for late stamping).
In addition, the Company undertakes to pay to and reimburse Goldman Sachs and
each of the Hong Kong Underwriters in respect of any such stamp or other
transfer duty (including any penalties for late stamping) which they may incur
or otherwise suffer. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Company nor the
Selling Shareholder shall be liable under this clause 8.5 to pay to and
reimburse Goldman Sachs or the Hong Kong Underwriters in respect of any stamp or
other transfer duty or penalty for late stamping arising in respect of any
subsequent sale of Shares by initial purchasers of the Hong Kong Offer Shares to

over-allocate or effect transactions in the market or otherwise with a view to
stabilizing or maintaining the market price of the Offer Shares at such prices,
in such amounts and in such manner as Goldman Sachs and/or its relevant

which may arise out of or in connection with this Agreement and that accordingly
any Proceedings, out of or in connection with this Agreement may be brought in
such courts.

24.2(a) Notwithstanding clause 24.1 above, each of the Company, the Selling
        Shareholder and Goldman Sachs (for and on behalf of the Hong Kong
        Underwriters) shall have the option to refer any disputes which may
        arise out of or in connection with this Agreement to be finally resolved
        by arbitration in accordance with this clause 24.2. Upon written notice
        by the Company, the Selling Shareholder or Goldman Sachs pursuant to
        this clause 24.2, such disputes shall be referred to and finally
        resolved by arbitration in accordance with the UNCITRAL Arbitration
        Rules (the Rules) as in force from time to time and as may be amended by

(c)     Where there are multiple parties, whether as claimant or as respondent,
        the multiple claimants, jointly, shall appoint a claimants-appointed
        arbitrator, and the multiple respondents, jointly, shall appoint a
        respondents-appointed arbitrator for the purpose of Article 7(1) of the

        administered by HKIAC.

(e)     The governing law of the arbitration proceedings shall be the laws of
        Hong Kong.

(f)     The language to be used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English.

                                                                         Page 39

<PAGE>

(g)     By agreeing to arbitration pursuant to this clause 24.2, the parties
        hereto irrevocably waive their right to any form of appeal, review or
        recourse to any state court or other judicial authority, insofar as such
        waiver may be validly made and to the fullest extent permitted by
        applicable laws.

(h)     The award shall be given by a majority decision. If there be no
        majority, the award shall be made by the Chairman of the arbitral
        tribunal alone.

24.3    Agent for Service: The Selling Shareholder hereby irrevocably authorizes
and appoints the Company at the address set out in clause 19.3 to accept service
of all legal process arising out of or connected with this Agreement and service
on such persons shall be deemed to be service on the Selling Shareholder.

25.     IMMUNITY

25.1    Waiver: To the extent that any party hereto may in any court proceedings
arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or in any proceedings taken
for the enforcement of any determination, decision, order or award made in such
court proceedings claim for itself or its assets immunity from suit or other
legal process or to the extent that in any such court or enforcement proceedings
there may be attributed to itself or its assets such immunity (whether or not
claimed), such party hereby irrevocably waives such immunity and consents, in
respect of any such court or enforcement proceedings, to the giving of any
relief or the issue of any process including, without limitation, the making,
enforcement or execution against property whatsoever (irrespective of its use or
intended use) to the full extent permitted by applicable laws.

26.     CURRENCY INDEMNITY

26.1    Conversion into Another Currency: If for the purposes of obtaining
judgment in any court by the Company, the Selling Shareholder, Goldman Sachs or
any other Hong Kong Underwriter as the case may be (for the purposes of this
clause, the Claiming Party) it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder into
any currency other than HK dollars, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest
extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be
the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures such Claiming
Party could purchase HK dollars with such other currency in Hong Kong on the
Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

26.2    Judgement in Another Currency: The obligation of any party hereto in
respect of any sum due from such party (for the purposes of this clause, the
Obligor) to any Claiming Party shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency
other than HK dollars, not be discharged until the first Business Day following
receipt by such Claiming Party of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other
currency, on which (and only to the extent that) such Claiming Party may in
accordance with normal banking procedures purchase HK dollars with such other
currency.

26.3    Obligor's Indemnity: If the HK dollars purchased pursuant to this clause
are less than the sum originally due to the Claiming Party, such Obligor agrees,
as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the
Claiming Party against such loss.

                                                                         Page 40

<PAGE>

26.4    Claiming Party's Obligation: If the HK dollars purchased pursuant to
this clause are greater than the sum originally due to the Claiming Party, the
Claiming Party agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such
judgment, to repay to the Obligor an amount equal to the excess of the HK
dollars so purchased over the sum originally due hereunder to the Claiming
Party.

27.     COUNTERPARTS

27.1    Number of Counterparts: This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, and by the parties on separate counterparts, but shall not be
effective until each party has executed at least one counterpart.

original of this Agreement, but all the counterparts shall together constitute

4.23    The Company Accounts present a true and fair view of the financial
position of the Group as of the dates specified and the results of operations
and changes in financial position of the Group for the periods specified, and

or have become liable; and neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries nor,
to the best knowledge of the Company after due inquiry, any of its associated

        or any of the Company Restructuring Subsidiaries,

except, with respect to (a) or (c), any such contravention, conflict, breach,

on the Company's ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the
International Underwriting Agreement or the Deposit Agreement.

and each of its Significant Subsidiaries has duly paid in full all premiums due
in respect of such policies and instruments; there are no claims by the Company
or any of its Significant Subsidiaries under any such policy or instrument as to

defending under a reservations of rights clause that, if determined adversely to
the Company or any Significant Subsidiary, would have a Material Adverse Effect.

1.      This Schedule sets out the arrangements and terms pursuant to which the
obligations of each Hong Kong Underwriter under clause 6.1 of this Agreement
will be reduced to the extent that it makes (or procures to be made) one or more
Valid Applications which is or are accepted (hereafter referred to as
Underwriters' Applications). These arrangements mean that in no circumstances
will any Hong Kong Underwriter have any further liability as a Hong Kong
Underwriter if one or more Underwriters' Applications, duly made by it or
procured by it to be made, are validly made and accepted for not less than the
number of the Hong Kong Offer Shares noted against its name in Schedule 1, save
as provided in the Agreement Among Hong Kong Underwriters.

2.      In order to qualify as Underwriters' Applications, such applications
must be made on one or more Hong Kong Application Forms and delivered, together
with a cheque or cheques or banker's cashier order or orders for the amounts
payable on application (including Brokerage, Trading Fee, SFC Transaction Levy
and Investor Compensation Levy), to Goldman Sachs by not later than 10:00 a.m.
on the Acceptance Date. Each such application must bear the stamp of the Hong
Kong Underwriter or the Hong Kong Underwriter's broker or nominee by whom or on
whose behalf the application is made or, if made by the Hong Kong Underwriter's
sub-underwriter, marked to identify the relevant Hong Kong Underwriter and there
must be clearly marked on the Hong Kong Application Form(s) "Hutchison
Telecommunications - Underwriter's Application". These applications will
subsequently be notified and delivered by Goldman Sachs to any of the Receiving
Bankers by 12:00 noon on the Acceptance Date.

3.      If all of the Hong Kong Offer Shares shall not have been validly both
applied and paid for in the manner referred to in this Agreement, each Hong Kong
Underwriter will, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, be obliged to
take up the proportion of the shortfall that (a) its net underwriting
participation (that is its underwriting participation pursuant to clause 6.1
less the aggregate number of Hong Kong Offer Shares for which Underwriters'
Applications have been made by it or procured to be made by it to the extent
that they have been accepted and up to the limit of its underwriting
participation), bears to (b) the aggregate of the underwriting participation of
all the Hong Kong Underwriters including itself less the aggregate number of
Hong Kong Offer Shares for which Underwriters' Applications have been made
(including by itself). This paragraph 3 is subject to the Agreement Among Hong
Kong Underwriters.

4.      The obligations of Hong Kong Underwriters determined pursuant to
paragraph 3 above may be rounded, as determined by Goldman Sachs in its sole
discretion, to avoid fractions. The determination of Goldman Sachs shall be
final and conclusive and without recourse.

5.      No preferential consideration will be given in respect of Underwriters'
Applications.

                                                                         Page 65
