1. The Borrower irrevocably agrees and confirms that the Lender has the right to adjust or add loan disbursement conditions due to changes in laws, regulations and policies, or restrictions on the government’s macro-monetary policy or financial regulatory policy, or based on market conditions, capital position and financial cost conditions, its own business needs, the Borrower’s performance ability or financial status, or other major changes in circumstances, and may suspend, reduce or cancel the loan and notify the Borrower.
2. The loan under this Contract shall be used in accordance with the purpose of the loan agreed in this Contract.

Unless otherwise agreed in this Contract, the interest on the loan under this Contract shall be calculated based on the actual withdrawal amount and the number of days occupied from the date the Lender issues the loan.

2. The Lender has the right to charge overdue penalty interest on the principal of the loan that is due (the term “due” in this Contract includes the situation where the Lender declares the loan to be due in advance) payable by the Borrower at the overdue rate agreed in this Contract and calculated on the actual number of days overdue, starting from the date of overdue, until the Borrower repays the principal and interest.
