Working Capital Loan Agreement

 

Whereas the Borrower applies for a working capital line of credit from the Lender, for the purpose of clearly setting forth the rights and obligations of both parties, the Borrower and the Lender agree as follows:

 

Article 1 Definitions

 

“Line of credit” refers to the maximum amount of loan balance (revolving line of credit) or loan sum (one-time limit) the Lender can make available to the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The line of credit can be either a revolving limit or a one-time limit (for one-time or multiple use).

 

“Revolving limit” means that the Borrower can apply for multiple use of the line of credit for obtaining a loan, but the cumulative withdrawal sum of the loan shall not exceed the agreed line of credit.

 

“Loan balance” means the principal sum the Lender has withdrawn and has not paid off under this Agreement.

 

“Remaining line of credit” means the available line of credit after the loan balance (revolving line of credit) or loan sum (one-time limit) is deducted from the total line of credit.

Working Capital Loan Agreement

 

“Term of line of credit” means the period when the Lender can grant loans to the Borrower upon the Borrower’s application and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Term of line of credit is the period during which a loan can be issued, rather than the loan term.

 

“Loan term” refers to the term of each loan prescribed by both parties in the respective “Bank of Communications Line of Credit Withdrawal Application” (hereby abbreviated as “Line of Credit Withdrawal Application”).

 

“Loan Prime Rate (LPR)” means the loan prime rate published by the National Interbank Lending Center on the 20th of each month (in the case of a holiday, on the next business day after the 20th).

 

“Bank business day” or “business day” means the days the Bank at the location of the Lender conduct its business toward the public, which does not include the legal holidays and weekends (except for the adjusted working holidays and weekend days). If the performing date of an obligation (i.e., loan issuance date, loan pay date, interest pay date, due date) falls on a non-business day of the bank, it shall be postponed to the next business day of the bank.

Article 3 Interest Rates, Interest Calculation and Payment

 

3.1. The basic rule for determining interest rates

 

3.1.1. The loan interest rate under this Agreement shall be benchmarked on the Loan Prime Rate (LPR). It is calculated as Loan Prime Rate (LPR) plus (minus) points (1 basis point is 0.01%, 1% equals 100 basis points). The interest rates shall be determined by both parties at each withdrawal application and stipulated in the Line of Credit Withdrawal Application.

 

In the case both parties agree to use fixed rates in the Line of Credit Withdrawal Application, and a specific number is recorded in the fixed rate section, the specific rate of each loan shall be the number recorded in the fixed rate section of the Line of Credit Withdrawal Application. Such number shall be the Loan Prime Rate (LPR) on the pricing basis date, plus or minus the points stipulated in the Line of Credit Withdrawal Application. If a specific number is not recorded in the fixed rate section, the specific interest rate of each loan shall be the Loan Prime Rate (LPR) on the pricing basis date, plus or minus the points stipulated in the Line of Credit Withdrawal Application.

 

Where both parties agree to use floating rates in the Line of Credit Withdrawal Application, the specific interest rate of each loan shall be based on the Loan Prime Rate (LPR) on the pricing basis date chosen in the Line of Credit Withdrawal Application, as well as the points to be added (deducted), the rate-floating rules, the rate-floating cycle, the rate-floating unit, and the specific floating-cycle start date (if needed).

▲▲ 3.2. Rate at Loan Issuance

 

Each loan rate at time of issuance shall be based on the LPR on the “pricing basis date” chosen in the Line of Credit Withdrawal Application, plus (minus) the agreed points in the Line of Credit Withdrawal Application. If the “pricing basis date” is Day T, the LPR on Day T is Loan Prime Rate (LPR) number published prior to and closest to Day T.

 

3.3. Rate Adjustment

 

3.3.1. If a fixed rate is recorded in the Line of Credit Withdrawal Application, then the loan rate executable in the loan term shall be the recorded fixed rate.

 

▲▲ 3.3.2 If a floating rate is recorded in the Line of Credit Withdrawal Application, the loan rate shall be the adjusted rate from the rate adjustment date, which shall be determined by the rate-floating rules, the rate-floating cycle, the rate-floating unit and the specific floating-cycle start date (if needed).

If the rate floating cycle is entered “1”, and the rate floating cycle unit is entered “day”, then the Loan Prime Rate (LPR) adjustment date shall be the loan rate adjustment date. If the rate floating cycle is entered “3”, and the rate floating cycle unit is entered “day”, then the loan rate adjustment date shall be three days from “the posting date of the loan “ or “the specific floating start date”; if the rate floating cycle is entered “1”, and the rate floating cycle unit is entered “month”, then the loan rate adjustment date shall be one month from the “posting date of the loan” or “the specific floating start date”; if the rate floating cycle is entered “3”, and the rate floating cycle unit is entered “month”, then the loan rate adjustment date shall be three months from “the posting date of the loan” or “the specific floating start date”, and so on.

 

▲▲ 3.3.3. If the Loan Prime Rate (LPR) is canceled or its publishing institution is required to cease publication according to regulatory requirements, both parties shall discuss and adjust the loan rate otherwise, and the adjusted rate shall not be lower than the then applicable rate; when the Loan Prime Rate (LPR) is canceled or its publication has been ceased for more than one month, and both parties have not yet reached an agreement on the rate adjustment, then the Lender has the right to declare early maturity of the loan.
