Party B files a loan application to Party A based on the usage stipulated in Article 1.1 of the Agreement. To ensure the performance of its obligations under the Agreement, Party B is willing to provide the guaranty of pledge as well as other guarantees. On the basis of equality and through consultation, the Agreement is hereby made and entered into by two parties who shall abide by it jointly.

 

 

1.1 The loan under the Agreement is intended for the usage of purchasing raw materials. Without Party A's written consent, Party B shall not misappropriate or divert the loan.

 

1.2 The currency and amount of the loan under the Agreement is RMB 9,000,000 Yuan (Amount in words: RMB Nine Million Yuan only) (In case there is any discrepancy between the amount in figures and the amount in words, the amount in words shall prevail).

 

1.3 The term of the loan under the Agreement is six months, starting from the first withdrawal date.

 

1.4 The actual withdrawal dates and repayment dates shall be subject to the loan notes, which shall be an integral part of the Agreement and have the same legal effect with the Agreement.

 

2.1 If the currency of the loan under the Agreement is RMB, the interest rate shall be determined by adding the floating range to the benchmark interest rate of the withdrawal date. Thereinto, the benchmark interest rate is the corresponding RMB loan interest rate of People’s Bank of China with the same period and grade as the term of the loan stipulated in Article 1.3 of the Agreement; the floating range is floating upward (floating upward/floating downward/zero) 10%. In case that the benchmark interest rate is adjusted after Party B’s withdrawal, item (3) in the following shall be adopted:

 

(1) The rate shall be adjusted every __/__ (1/3/6/12) month/months, which is referred to as “a floating period”. The date of determining the interest rate of the first floating period shall be the actual withdrawal date, and the date of determining the interest rate of the second floating period shall be the corresponding date following a full floating period after the withdrawal date, and so forth. If there is no corresponding date to the withdrawal date in the adjusting month, then the last date of the adjusting month shall be deemed as the corresponding date. On each date of determining the interest rate, the interest rate of the loan shall be adjusted according to the effective benchmark interest rate and the floating range stipulated in Article 2, with interests being calculated on a multi-stage basis.

 

(2) On each June 21st and December 21st after the withdrawal date, the interest rate will be adjusted according to the effective benchmark interest rate and the floating range stipulated in Article 2.

 

(3) The interest rate of the loan will not be adjusted within the whole term of the Agreement.

 

(4) Others: ______/___________.

 

2.2 If the loan under the Agreement is a foreign exchange, the interest rate will be calculated through LIBOR of ___/___months plus __/__BP (Base Point) of the margin with a floating period. LIBOR refers to the inter-bank offered rate of the loan currency under the Agreement as shown in the “LIBO=” page of REUTRES financial telecommunication terminal two banking days prior to each interest period (11:00 am, London time). The first interest period is from Party B’s actual withdrawal date to the first interest settlement date; the last interest period is from the date following the end of the previous interest period to the final repayment date; and other interest periods are from the date following the end of the previous interest period to the next interest settlement date.

2.3 In case that Party B fails to repay the loan on due date, the above-mentioned method of determining the interest rate shall still apply to the overdue amount.

 

2.4 After grant of the loan, the interest shall be calculated per day and settled per month (Month/Quarter/Half a year). The daily interest rate = the annual interest rate/360. When the loan becomes due, the interest shall be paid in the form of matching the principal. For monthly settlement, the 20th day of each month is the interest settlement date; for quarterly settlement, the 20th day in the last month of each quarter (i.e., March, June, September and December) is the interest settlement date; and for semi-annual settlement, June 20th and December 20th of each year are the interest settlement dates.

 

2.5 In case that People’s Bank of China adjusts the method of determining the loan interest rate, the relevant regulations of People’s Bank of China shall be followed.
