Article 1 Definitions

 

1.1 Pledged Asset Pool

 

It refers to a collection of assets that are confirmed and held by Party A after Party B files a pledge application and completes the pledge procedures with Party A.

 

1.2 Pledge Financing Credit Line

 

Based on the type of pledged assets in the asset pool, the Pledge Financing Credit Line is divided into the (Secondary) Low-Risk Pledge Financing Credit Line and the Exposure Pledge Financing Credit Line. The Pledgor agrees to use all pledged assets in the pool to secure the financing business that the pool leader, member companies, and designated overseas member companies (applicable when low-risk assets are subject to cross-border sweeping as agreed, the same below) conduct with Party A in accordance with this Contract and the Cooperation Agreement.

 

 

 

 1 

 

 

1. (Secondary) Low-Risk Pledge Financing Credit Line

 

It refers to the sum of the pledge credit line, which is equal to the value of low-risk assets in the Pledged Asset Pool multiplied by the corresponding pledge rate, and the balance of the Margin Account. It varies with the value of low-risk assets in the Pledged Asset Pool and the balance of the Margin Account but shall not exceed the (secondary) low-risk credit line granted by Party A to Party B.

 

Party B may, in accordance with the Cooperation Agreement, apply for the cross-border sweeping of low-risk assets to an overseas member company (Party B shall specify the specific company name in the application) through Party A's e-banking system, and may handle it upon review and approval by Party A. Under the group's asset pool, the pool leader may, pursuant to this Contract, directly sweep low-risk assets of a member company in the Pledged Asset Pool to other member companies, or centralize low-risk assets of member companies in the pool at the pool leader and then allocate and transfer them to the member companies. The sweep-in party may obtain a financing credit line that is not more than the (Secondary) Low-Risk Pledge Financing Credit Line granted by Party A accordingly, but it shall not re-sweep the swept-in assets. In addition, the aforesaid swept-in assets shall no longer generate the corresponding financing credit line for the sweep-out party. The parties acknowledge that the aforesaid sweeping of assets is only for the purpose of calculating the financing credit line, and shall not affect the ownership of the assets in the pool.

 

Low-risk assets include the asset pool margin, electronic bank acceptance bills, blockchain receivables confirmed by Party A, digital credit vouchers, and accounts receivable under a domestic letter of credit ("L/C") accepted by a bank recognized by Party A. The types of low-risk assets and the corresponding pledge rates shall be subject to those approved by Party A and may be adjusted by Party A in its sole discretion. In case of any adjustment made thereto by Party A, the relevant financing credit line of Party B and its member companies will be adjusted accordingly, and Party B may query the relevant information through Party A's e-banking system.

 

2. Exposure Pledge Financing Credit Line

 

It refers to the pledge credit line which is equal to the value of non-low-risk assets in the Pledged Asset Pool multiplied by the corresponding pledge rate. It varies with the balance of non-low-risk assets in the Pledged Asset Pool but shall not exceed the available general credit line granted by Party A to Party B after deduction of the Additional Asset Pool Financing Credit Line. If the available general credit line of Party B is insufficient, the corresponding Exposure Pledge Financing Credit Line cannot be generated.

 

Non-low-risk assets mainly include electronic bank acceptance bills not confirmed by Party A and export accounts receivable. The types of non-low-risk assets and the corresponding pledge rates shall be subject to those approved by Party A and may be adjusted by Party A in its sole discretion. In case of any adjustment made thereto by Party A, the relevant financing credit line of Party B will be adjusted accordingly, and Party B may query the relevant information through Party A's e-banking system.

 

1.3 Additional Financing Credit Line

 

It refers to the credit line granted by Party A to Party B based on the business cooperation with Party B and Party B's overall risk level and mitigation measures (except for pledge), in addition to the (Secondary) Low-Risk Pledge Financing Credit Line and the Exposure Pledge Financing Credit Line. Under the group's asset pool, Party A only grants an Additional Financing Credit Line to the pool leader, and the pool leader may sweep the Additional Financing Credit Line among the specific member companies approved by Party A.

1.4 Asset Pool Financing Credit Line

 

It refers to the actual financing credit line under which Party B may conduct the Asset Pool Financing business, which is the sum of the (Secondary) Low-Risk Pledge Financing Credit Line, Exposure Pledge Financing Credit Line, and the Additional Financing Credit Line of Party B. When the group (which refers to Party B and its member companies, the same below) conducts the Asset Pool Financing business with Party A, the sum of the Asset Pool Financing Credit Line of Party B and all its member companies shall be the group's Asset Pool Financing Credit Line. Party B may query the relevant information through Party A's e-banking system.

 

1.5 Available Financing Credit Line

 

It refers to the remaining Asset Pool Financing Credit Line under which Party B may continuously conduct the financing business with Party A after deduction of the Asset Pool Financing Credit Line occupied by the financing principal and the outstanding interest due (if any). Party B may query the relevant information through Party A's e-banking system.

 

1.6 Asset Pool Financing

 

It refers to a mode of financing where Party A handles the financing business for Party B within the Asset Pool Financing Credit Line.

 

1.7 Asset Pool Account

 

It refers to a settlement account opened by Party A for Party B for financial accounting of the asset pool business.

 

1.8 Margin Account

 

It refers to a dedicated account for depositing the asset pool margin that is opened by Party A for Party B and its member companies respectively when they apply for the Asset Pool Financing service.
