 9. Payment in installments by the Borrower under Clause 4 hereof shall not bar the right of
the Lender to demand the Borrower to pay debt hereunder either in whole or in part prior to the due date under Clause 4 hereof as the Lender may deem appropriate due to any event in which the Lender believes that the Borrower will not pay debt or

Borrower as security for other types of debts owed by the Borrower itself, or placed as security for payment of debt by any other person, whether such properties are kept at any office of the Lender, the Borrower agrees that the Lender may use all
such properties to pay the debt payable by the Borrower hereunder. The Borrower also agrees that the Lender may exercise the right of retention or inhibit the Borrower from withdrawing mortgage, pledge or such properties if the Lender considers that
such act of the Borrower will cause damage to the Lender or may cause the Lender to be unable to receive payment of debt hereunder.

insofar as the debt hereunder has not been paid in full by the Borrower, in case the Lender considers that the rate of exchange of US$ into Thai baht is higher than such exchange rate on the day the Borrower makes a disbursement of loan in excess of
ten percent (10%), or in case the circumstance of the Lender’s source of loan in US$ has changed, or in case the Lender deems it appropriate and more beneficial, or in any case where the Lender, at its absolute discretion, considers that it may
affect the Borrower’s ability to make payment of principal of credit facility, its interest, fee and / or any other money payable in US$ to the Lender by the Borrower hereunder, the Lender shall immediately convert the currency of all credit
facility owed to the Lender by the Borrower into Thai baht with no Borrower’s opposition thereto. The Borrower agrees to waive all its claim for any damages from the Lender. In such case, the Borrower agrees to comply with the following

determined by the Lender, as well as the entering into a loan agreement with TMB Bank Public Company Limited for the purpose of borrowing of Thai baht (if necessary). 
 15. The Borrower agrees to give prior consent for the Lender to dispose of or transfer debt or assign claims hereunder, or assign the right of mortgage, pledge, guarantee or right to any other security involving such
debt or claims of the Lender either in whole or in part, to any person or juristic person at any time, regardless of whether the Lender has given notice to the Borrower of the same or not. 
 16. Any communication, demand, notice or any other letter sent to the Borrower by registered or unregistered mail or by any means, or by hand, to the address written
above shall be deemed to have been duly given to the Borrower, regardless of whether there is a recipient or not. If it cannot be delivered because the address indicated herein has changed or removed without notice thereof from the Borrower to the
Lender, or if it cannot be delivered because the address written above is not found, the Borrower shall be deemed to have duly received and acknowledged such communication, demand, notice or any other letter from the Lender.
