4 Special Agreements This credit can be used as a guarantee credit, for guarantees in foreign business, letters of credit and exchange rate hedging transactions. |
|||
In the case of use in foreign currency, the credit line is charged with the amount of the foreign currency amount (converted into euros) plus 20% currency change buffer. For the conversion of the foreign currency amount into euros, the respective mean exchange rate on the first day of use in foreign currency shall apply. The mean exchange rate is the average between the purchase and sale rate. These rates are published on the BayernLB’s (Bavarian Central Bank) exchange rate sheet on its website. The mean exchange rate is derived by the Bavarian Central Bank from the so-called “Daily Foreign Exchange Settlement Rate of BayernLB”, which it calculates at around 1 p.m. The forms of use in foreign currency available to the Borrower are to be specified separately in writing, unless otherwise agreed herein. The sum of all claims, including conditional claims, arising from individual transactions issued under this Framework Agreement may not exceed the above-mentioned threshold. In the case of claims in foreign currency, the foreign currency amount shall be converted into euros on the basis of the current mean rate of exchange. If the maximum threshold is exceeded on three consecutive banking days at any one time and if this results in a change in the risk situation, the Savings Bank may demand that the Borrower provide or increase collateral to secure its claim in accordance with No. 22 (a) of the General Terms and Conditions. This shall also apply to a loan initially granted without collateral. |
