The Debtors are compelled to pay the Bank, on the loaned sum, the nominal interest on balances indicated by the Bank at the time that each payment to capital is made. The annual interest rate applicable to each payment to capital owned over the respective period, shall be set by applying the interest rate offered to hierarchical banks for deposits in dollars at LIBOR as a reference rate, corresponding to a term of thirty days, plus an additional FOUR PERCENT differential on such rate, but such rate may at no time be less than an annual rate of SEVEN POINT FIFTY PERCENT (7.50%). For these effects, the applicable rate shall be that offered at eleven a.m. London time, two workdays before the first day on which a new interest period begins and that reference rate plus the established differential shall be applied, and the rate shall be set during the readjustment period of the rate, which shall be every thirty days. All calculations of interests shall be made on the basis of one calendar year, by the actual number of days, including the first and excluding the last day occurring during the period in which such interests must be paid. For informational effects, the nominal rate applicable to this day for this loan, is an annual SEVEN POINT FIFTY PERCENT (7.50%). In compliance with that set out in Section sixty-six of the Bank Law, it is hereby stated that: THE EFFECTIVE ANNUALIZED INTEREST RATE CORRESPONDING TO THE PREVIOUSLY DESCRIBED NOMINAL RATE IS SEVEN POINT SIX HUDNRED AND TWENTY-FIVE PERCENT (7.625%). The Debtors agree and accept that in order for the stipulated rate to be applied, they must fulfill the following conditions: a) To sustain a rating of “A” or “B” in the Financial System of El Salvador, in accordance with the risk asset rating plan issued by the Financial System Superintendence; b) That all the conditions of this loan are fulfilled to the satisfaction of the Bank; and c) That the Debtors and persons with an existing economic relationship as per the terms of the Bank Law, must be up to day with their payments regarding all the obligations they have with the Bank and, and its affiliates. If the Debtors do not meet any of the before established conditions, this loan shall immediately accrue an interest equal to the Reference Rate published by the Bank, which shall be adjusted each month, at the option of the Bank. The private written communication to the Debtors by the Bank, at any time, regarding the rate, as per the established differential; or the publication, in two newspapers of a nation-wide circulation, of the Sole Reference Rate, and of the interest rate published by the bank each monthly or each time that it is modified, shall serve as notice of the adjustments to such rate and the Debtors hereby accept the aforementioned. The annual interest rate shall only apply to the outstanding balances during the times that such balances are outstanding, and the Bank may not charge interests that have not been accrued. The Debtors are mutually compelled to pay the new rate resulting from the modifications or readjustments, without any variation to the originally agreed on term. In the event of delayed payments, the interest rate agreed on shall be increased by FIVE more POINTS implying an extension of the term and without prejudice to the other legal effects of the default, which shall remain fixed until the obligation comes to an end. The interest in arrears shall be estimated and paid on the default and not on the total balance. No interests shall be charged on the accrued and unpaid interests.

The advanced payment of all or part of the loan shall not result in any type of early payment commission as long as such payments are made on the dates on which the LIBOR applicable to the loan is readjusted and with prior written notice of at least three workdays before payment is made, otherwise the Debtors acknowledge and shall pay the Bank an early payment commission, which shall be calculated based on the differential between the LIBOR quoted on the last readjustment date of such, and the LIBOR on the date of early payment, multiplied by the days pending before reaching the next Rate readjustment date, multiplied by the pre paid sum. If the result of such operation is negative, the Debtors shall not pay any type of surcharge. VI) TERM.
