If any Base Rate is below zero, such Base Rate shall be deemed to be zero when calculating the applicable interest rate chargeable on the Facilities.

The Bank shall notify the Borrower(s) as soon as the interest rate has been amended. 3.11 If for any reason whatsoever, interbank offered rates (IBORs) include HIBOR or the amended rate as decided by the Bank pursuant to Clause 3.10 (if applicable) does not reflect the cost of funds incurred, interest for the advance shall be charged at interest margin over the Bank’s cost of funds as may be reasonably determined by the Bank solely. The Bank shall notify the Borrower such cost of funds as soon as it has been fixed. 3.12 In respect of a Loan Facility where the Borrower is entitled to choose the duration of interest periods, all accrued interest shall be paid in arrears at the end of each interest period. No interest period shall extend beyond the final maturity date as set out in the Facility Letter and if any interest period would otherwise extend beyond such date, it shall end on such date. If the Bank receives no valid selection of an interest period from the Borrower, that interest period shall be one month. If any interest period would otherwise end on a day which is not a Business Day, it shall end on the immediately succeeding Business Day, if there is one within the same calendar month, and, if not, on the immediately preceding Business Day. 3.13 In the case where the principal sum of the Facilities are not payable by periodical instalments and the Bank designates in the Facility Letter that the interest accrued on the Facilities are payable monthly in arrears, the first interest payment date shall be the date in the succeeding month corresponding to the date of the drawdown of the relevant Facilities and thereafter subsequent interest payment dates shall be the corresponding dates in each and every succeeding months provided that no interest payment date shall extend beyond the final maturity date of the relevant Facilities set out in the Facility Letter. 4. Payment 4.1 All payments or repayments made by the Borrower to the Bank are to be made in the currency of the payment or liabilities made or incurred by the Bank under the Facility Letter or otherwise in the converted currency if the Bank exercises its rights under Clause 4.4 (the "Applicable Currency"), in immediately available funds without set-off or counter-claim and free and clear of and without withholding or deduction of any or all present or future taxes, duties, payments or other charges. In case any payment under the Facility Letter and/or Security Documents is/are required for such withholding or deduction, it shall be increased by the Borrower to the extent necessary equal to the sum of payment as if no such withholding or deduction has been made. The Borrower shall immediately inform the Bank or pay such sum within the time prescribed. The Borrower shall also within 30 days of making such payment provide documentary evidence to the Bank showing the payment has been made. 4.2 If any change in, or in the interpretation of, any law or regulation or directive or compliance with any law or regulation or directive made after the original date of a Facility Letter:

The Bank may also from time to time, without actual conversion, determine the outstanding amount of any Facility by reference to the base currency to which such Facility was originally denominated at the then prevailing rate of exchange as the Bank may determine conclusively. If such outstanding amount under the base currency exceeds the original base currency amount of such Facility, the Bank shall be entitled to request the Borrower to repay such excess amount upon demand in the currency as specified by the Bank. 4.5 Any payment made to the Bank in a currency (the "existing currency") other than the Applicable Currency may at the Bank's absolute discretion be converted into the Applicable Currency to cover the obligations and liabilities of the Borrower at the then prevailing spot rate of exchange as conclusively determined by the Bank for purchasing the Applicable Currency with the existing currency. 4.6 All payments made by the Borrower to the Bank shall be accepted upon and subject to the Bank's practice and terms and conditions and where applicable to the rules of any relevant clearing system for the time being and from time to time in force, and shall be deemed not to have been made until such time as the relevant funds have been cleared and received for value by the Bank. 4.7 If a change in any currency of a country occurs and such change relates to the currency or currencies in which the Facilities or the transactions contemplated under the Facility Letter are denominated, these General Terms and Conditions and the Facility Letter will, to the extent the Bank (acting reasonably) specifies to be necessary, be amended to comply with any generally accepted conventions and market practice in the relevant interbank market and otherwise to reflect the change in currency. 5. Repayment 5.1 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Facility Letter and in these General Terms and Conditions but subject to Clause 27.8 hereof, the Bank reserves the overriding right to demand immediate repayment of all the outstanding indebtedness, liabilities and/or obligations (including interest and default interest thereon) due, owing or incurred by the Borrower (actual or contingent) to the Bank under or in respect of the Facilities. 5.2 Unless otherwise provided in the Facility Letter and/or these General Terms and Conditions and/or General Terms and Conditions for Mortgage Loan Facility or agreed by the Bank in writing, in the case of the Facilities being payable by monthly instalments, the first instalment shall be due and payable one month after the drawdown of the relevant Facilities; in the case of the Facilities being payable by bi-weekly instalments, the first instalment shall be due and payable two weeks after the drawdown of the relevant Facilities. 5.3 Subject to the Bank's approval, in the case of the Facilities being payable by the Borrower by monthly instalments, the Borrower may designate a day of each successive month as pre-set payment dates for payment of the monthly instalments to the Bank. The first pre-set payment date shall be the pre-set payment date which immediately follows the date of drawdown of the relevant Facilities. If the first pre-set payment date does not fall on or falls before the date falling one month from the drawdown date of the relevant Facilities: - (a) the first monthly instalment shall be due and payable on the second pre-set payment date and the subsequent monthly instalments on the corresponding subsequent pre-set payment dates;


 
7 T & C for GBF & Loans Facility(ies) 202307_revised (LD/2023/7274) (香港)有限公司 BANK OF CHINA (HONG KONG) LIMITED 7 (b) interest on the relevant Facilities shall accrue on a daily basis for the period from the drawdown date of the Facilities to the first pre-set payment date (the "Extended Interest"); (c) the amount due and payable for the first monthly instalment shall be a sum representing the monthly instalment payable (calculated as if the relevant Facilities were drawn on the first pre-set payment date) together with the Extended Interest. If the first pre-set payment date falls on or after the date falling one month from the drawdown date of the relevant Facilities, the first monthly instalment shall be due and payable on the first pre-set payment date and there shall be no Extended Interest payable by the Borrower. 5.4 If there is any variation in the interest rate resulting from a change in the Base Rate, the Bank may vary either the amount or number of instalments or both at the Bank's sole discretion and will notify the Borrower subsequently. 5.5 In the case of ML and/or T/L secured by mortgaged properties (the "said facilities"), the loan tenor specified in the Facility Letter is subject to the confirmation of the solicitors acting for the Bank after their review of the title deeds of the mortgaged property. Such loan tenor must not be longer than the term of the Government Grant under which the property is held. In the event the term of the Government Grant is shorter than the loan tenor of the said facilities, re-approval of the said facilities by the Bank is required. Such re-approval process may result in the Bank's refusal to grant the said facilities or in repackaging the said facilities with different loan amount and/or loan tenor and/or the terms and conditions of the loan. 5.6 In respect of ML, T/L or D/L where CNY HIBOR or HIBOR is used as the Base Rate and where repayment is required to be made on an interest payment date or a repayment date only, or in respect of R/L, if a repayment is not made on an interest payment date, the Borrower shall indemnify the Bank for any break-funding cost which would have been incurred in the amount certified by the Bank. 5.7 Unless it is provided in the Facility Letter that the principal of the Facilities is payable by instalments, the principal of the Facilities shall be repaid in full on the final maturity date set out in the Facility Letter. 5.8 If the Borrower shall anticipate or experience any difficulty in repaying or servicing the Facilities, the Borrower shall inform the Bank as soon as possible. 6. Default interest/charges 6.1 Time shall be of the essence of any payment or repayment to be made by the Borrower. 6.2 The Bank reserves the right to charge default interest (before as well as after judgment) on a day to day basis on any sum which is not paid when due: - (a) In respect of HKD O/D and DDC O/D, at (i) the HKD Prime plus the applicable Default Margin, or (ii) the overnight HIBOR, or (iii) the Bank's cost of funds, whichever is the highest, provided that the foregoing default rate and method of calculation shall apply irrespective of whether the due but unpaid overdrafts fall within the overdraft limit previously allowed by the Bank or otherwise. (b) In respect of USD O/D, at (i) the USD Prime plus the applicable Default Margin, or (ii) the Bank's cost of funds, whichever is the highest, provided that the foregoing default rate and method of calculation shall apply irrespective of whether the due but unpaid overdrafts fall within the overdraft limit previously allowed by the Bank or otherwise. (c) In respect of CNY O/D, at (i) the CNY Prime plus the applicable Default Margin, or (ii) the overnight CNY HIBOR plus the applicable Default Margin, or (iii), the Bank's cost of funds, whichever is the highest, provided that the foregoing default rate and method of calculation shall apply irrespective of whether the due but unpaid overdrafts fall within the overdraft limit previously allowed by the Bank or otherwise. (d) In respect of Loan Facility(ies), at the higher of (i) the applicable Default Margin plus the prime rate for the relevant currency and as may from time to time be quoted by the Bank, and (ii) the Bank's cost of funds; or such other rates as the Bank may from time to time determine at its absolute discretion. (e) For Facilities other than HKD O/D, DDC O/D, USD O/D, CNY O/D and Loan Facility(ies), at (i) the applicable Default Margin plus the prime rate for the relevant currency and as may from time to time be quoted or determined by the Bank, or (ii) the overnight inter-bank offered rate for the relevant currency and as may from time to time be quoted or determined by the Bank, or (iii) the Bank's cost of funds whichever is the highest; or such other rates as the Bank may determine from time to time at its absolute discretion. 6.3 (a) In respect of HKD O/D and DDC O/D, the Bank shall have the right to charge default interest at the higher of (i) such default rate and in such method of calculation as set out in Sub-clause 6.2(a) on any sum which is overdrawn in excess of the applicable pre-agreed overdraft limit, whether such excess is allowed by the Bank in the exercise of its discretion or upon the request of the Borrower or otherwise, or (ii) the Original Interest Rate. (b) In respect of USD O/D, the Bank shall have the right to charge default interest at (i) the USD Prime plus

Facilities granted to two or more Borrowers severally 6% per annum, or (ii) the Bank's cost of funds, or (iii) the Original Interest Rate applicable to the USD O/D, whichever is the highest, on any sum which is overdrawn in excess of the applicable pre-agreed overdraft limit, whether such excess is allowed by the Bank in the exercise of its discretion or upon the request of the Borrower or otherwise. (c) In respect of CNY O/D, the Bank shall have the right to charge default interest at (i) the CNY Prime plus the applicable Default Margin, or (ii) the overnight CNY HIBOR plus the applicable Default Margin, or (iii) the Bank's cost of funds, or (iv) the Original Interest Rate, whichever is the highest, on any sum which is overdrawn in excess of the applicable pre-agreed overdraft limit, whether such excess is allowed by the Bank in the exercise of its discretion or upon the request of the Borrower or otherwise,. 6.4 Default interest shall accrue on a day to day basis and be calculated from the date when payment is due up to the date of final payment in full. In the case of the Loan Facility(ies) being payable by instalments, if any instalment or interest payment is overdue, default interest shall be calculated from the due date of the relevant instalment or interest payment on a daily basis up to the day on which actual payment in full has been made. The provisions in this Clause 6.4 shall not prejudice or affect the Bank's rights to charge default interest under Clause 6.2 above. 6.5 Apart from default interest, the Bank reserves the right to charge the Borrower Default Administrative Charges of HKD500.00 or such other amount as determined by the Bank from time to time, on each time when the Borrower fails to make a payment on its due date. In addition, if the Bank shall determine in its absolute discretion that it is necessary to instruct lawyers to issue letter of demand to the Borrower or to take any other recovery action against the Borrower after the Borrower has failed to make any payment on its due date, the Bank shall have the right to recover all legal costs reasonably incurred by the Bank and the Borrower shall be obliged to pay such costs to the Bank upon demand. 6.6 For the avoidance of doubt, in case the Original Interest Rate chargeable on the overdue sum shall exceed the default rate specified in Clause 6.2, the Bank shall have the right to continue to apply such Original Interest Rate notwithstanding the sum is overdue. 6.7 The Bank reserves the right to compound default interest at such intervals as it deems fit. 7.1 All F/X and other treasury and derivative products Transactions shall be subject to the terms and conditions stipulated by the Bank from time to time and the market practices prevailing for the time being and must be settled before 3:00 p.m. Hong Kong time on the relevant value date or delivery date for any particular Transactions or such other time as may be required by the Bank. 8.1 If, under any Facility Letter, the Facilities are granted to two or more Borrowers severally, such Facilities or any part or parts thereof may, subject to the Bank's prior approval, be utilized by any one of the relevant Borrowers within such sub-limits (the "Sub-Limits") (if they are expressly stipulated in the relevant Facility Letter or otherwise imposed by the Bank) and upon such terms as the Bank may determine from time to time. In any event, the Borrowers may not in aggregate borrow more than the amount of the Facilities. For the purpose of this Clause 8, the Facilities that are granted to two or more Borrowers severally are hereinafter called the "Global Facilities" and the facility limit in respect of the Global Facilities is called the "Global Limit". 8.2 For the avoidance of doubt, unless Sub-Limits are stipulated in the Facility Letter or otherwise imposed by the Bank, the Bank may allow any one or more of the Borrowers to utilize the Global Facilities up to the full extent of the Global Limit, provided that unless the Bank in its absolute discretion agrees, the aggregate utilization of the Global Facilities at any time by all of the relevant Borrowers in respect of each type of the Global Facilities shall not exceed the relevant Global Limit(s) of such Global Facilities. 8.3 Where there are Sub-Limits stipulated in the Facility Letter or otherwise imposed by the Bank, all the Borrowers acting together by themselves or through an authorized representative(s) may apply to the Bank to vary the Sub-Limits allocated to each of the Borrowers by giving the Bank not less than three (3) Business Days' prior notice. The Bank reserves the absolute discretion to determine whether to accept or reject any such application. 8.4 Upon approval by the Bank of any application to vary the Sub-Limits, each of the relevant Borrowers shall be bound by the variation and any condition imposed by the Bank in respect of such variation. 8.5 Notwithstanding anything herein contained, the Bank reserves the absolute right to re-allocate the Global Facilities and/or the Global Limits and/or the Sub-Limits (if any) at any time and at the Bank's sole and absolute discretion. 8.6 For the avoidance of doubt, all provisions contained in these General Terms and Conditions applicable to the Facilities shall equally apply to the Global Facilities and insofar as the relevant Borrower's utilization of and
