The borrower agrees that in case of any “early maturity event”, the loaner may reprice against the risk in executing the loan according to this article.
9.3.1 The repricing mentioned above consists of two modes, including repricing and directly raising the loan interest rate. The specific mode is agreed by both parties in Article 21.
9.3.2 “Negotiated reprice” means that the loaner may require the borrower to negotiate with the loaner within the regulated period to raise the loan interest rate and both parties will determine the “repricing date” and relevant interest rate in the form of supplemental agreement.
9.3.3 “Direct raise of loan interest rate” means that the loaner may directly raise the loan interest rate according to this article and Article 21.
9.3.3.1 Since the loan sends a notice of “repricing date” to the borrower, the loan interest rate should be applied to each loan that the borrower has not repaid by the “repricing date”.
9.3.3.2 If the loan currency is RMB, US dollar, Euro, Hong Kong dollar, Japanese yen and British pound, the increased loan interest rate of each loan shall be determined according to the plus (minus) point value agreed in Article 21.2.1 on the basis of the applicable pricing benchmark value on the “repricing date”.

9.3.5 The implementation of “risk repricing” shall not be deemed or interpreted as the lender waiving other rights stipulated by laws and regulations and agreed in this contract. The Lender has the right to take other measures to protect creditor’s rights in accordance with laws and regulations and this Contract, including but not limited to the measures agreed in Article 9.2.
