      (3) The penalty interest and compound interest shall be calculated according to the severer circumstance of the loan delinquency or misappropriation if they have occurred at the same time.

       

      

      3.    The value date hereof refers to the date when the loan issued for the first time hereunder is transferred to the loan account designated in Article 6 of this contract (hereinafter referred to
        as “loan account”). The LPR hereunder is determined in line with item (4):

       

      

      (1)  For the initial issuance of loan under this contract, the LPR refers to the one-year lending market- quoted interest rate (1Y LPR) of the national inter-bank borrowing center on the previous
        working date prior to the effective date of this contract; if the loan interest rate is adjusted according the aforementioned provisions, LPR interest rate is the one-year lending market-quoted interest rate (1Y LPR) of the national inter-bank
        borrowing center on the previous working day of the day of adjustment.

       

      

      (2)  For the initial issuance of loan under this contract, the LPR refers to the one-year lending market- quoted interest rate (1Y LPR) of the national inter-bank borrowing center on the previous
        working day prior to the value date; if the loan interest rate is adjusted according the aforementioned provisions, LPR interest rate is the one-year lending market-quoted interest rate (1Y LPR) of the national inter-bank borrowing center on the
        previous working day of the day of adjustment.

       

      

      (3)  For the initial issuance of loan under this contract, the LPR refers to the market-quoted interest rate for five-year or above loans (5Y LPR) of the national inter-bank borrowing center on the
        previous working day prior to the effective date of this contract; if the loan interest rate is adjusted according the aforementioned provisions, LPR interest rate is the market-quoted interest rate for five-year or above loans (5Y LPR) of the

        borrowing center on the previous working day of the day of adjustment.

        thereafter, if the loan interest rate is adjusted as agreed above, the benchmark interest rate refers to the loan interest rate announced by the People’s Bank of China for the current period and for the same grade on the day of adjustment; if the
        People’s Bank of China no longer announces the interest rate for the current period and for the same grade, the benchmark interest rate denotes the loan interest rate for the current period and for the same grade recognized by the interbank or
        accepted generally on the day of adjustment, or the alternative interest rate designated by the People’s Bank of China, unless otherwise stipulated by both parties.

       

      

      4.    The loan interest shall accrue from the day when the loan is transferred to the loan account. The loan interest hereunder is calculated on a daily basis, with the daily interest rate equal to
        the annual interest rate/360. If Party A fails to pay the interest in line with the day of interest settlement agreed in the contract, compound interests would be charged from the next day.

        floating interest rate, the interest shall be calculated in line with the interest rate determined for each floating period; In case of multiple interest rate floats during the single interest settlement period, the interest for each floating
        period shall be calculated first, and the interest for each float period shall be added up on the day of interest settlement to work out the interest for the current interest settlement period.

       

      

      
        (2) The interest of the loan hereunder shall be settled in line with method 2:
