10)              payment of a late charge for the failure to perform Agreement obligations within the established timeframe.

 

That said, loan debt under the credit shall be discharged in chronological order, beginning with the loan account opened first.

 

Agreement obligations (in terms of the discharge of loan debt under the credit, the payment of interest and remittance of Bank Fees) shall become current as of the date of origination of the performance timeframe pursuant to the terms established under the Agreement (hereinafter, the “Payment Date”).

 

Within the scope of the Agreement, overdue obligations shall be understood to mean Agreement obligations not performed as of the Payment Date.

 

5.7. Funds received, pursuant to the respective payment orders, towards the payment of a late charge (late charges) under the Agreement, in cases where said payment purpose is indicated as the sole payment purpose in the respective payment document, shall be directed by the Lender towards the payment of the late charge (late charges) pursuant to the priority ranking of late charge payments established in Clause 5.6 of the Agreement.

 

Any excess funds received shall be directed by the Lender towards the discharge of obligations pursuant to the payment priority ranking established in Clause 5.6 of the Agreement.

Payments received towards the discharge of loan debt under the credit earlier than the dates indicated in Clause 6.1 of the Agreement shall be directed by the Lender towards the discharge of said obligations in view of the next payment dates for credit repayment established in Clause 6.1 of the Agreement, in due consideration of the payment priority ranking established in Clause 5.6 of the Agreement. In this case, obligations related to the discharge of loan debt, for the purposes of payment distribution according to the payment priority ranking established in Clause 5.6 of the Agreement, shall become current for discharge as of the date funds are received in the amount of the received funds, but not to exceed the amount of funds remaining following their distribution among the other payments indicated in the payment priority ranking prior to the payment towards the discharge of current loan debt under the credit, and not more than the principle amount of debt indicated in the payment document (where applicable).

 

The excess funds received from the Borrower pursuant to the present clause of the Agreement shall be returned to the Borrower’s account opened with the Lender no later than the next business day after the date on which said funds are received.

 

In cases where it is impossible to identify the purpose of the payment (no indication of the obligation(s) being performed) indicated in the payment document, the received funds shall be directed by the Lender towards the discharge of loan debt under the credit pursuant to the present clause of the Agreement.

 

5.10. Obligations related to interest and/or Bank Fee payments may be performed earlier than the Payment Date in an amount not exceeding the amount accrued as of the date the respective funds are received by the Lender (inclusively). In this case, all obligations related to interest and Bank Fee payments shall become current for discharge as of the date on which the funds are received in the amount of received funds, but not to exceed the amount accrued.

 

That said, funds received from the Borrower towards the discharge of the aforementioned obligations, irrespective of the payment purpose indicated in the payment document, shall be directed by the Lender towards the discharge of obligations related to interest and Bank Fee payments pursuant to the payment priority ranking established in Clause 5.6 of the Agreement, except for the payment of late charges.

 

5.11. If 10 (ten) or fewer business days remain until the Payment Date for the payment of interest and/or Bank Fees (hereinafter, the “Early Payment Period”), any excess amount received from the Borrower pursuant to Clause 5.10 of the Agreement (hereinafter, “Early Payments”) shall be directed by the Lender towards the discharge of the aforementioned Borrower obligations by the next Payment Dates pursuant to the payment priority ranking established in Clause 5.6 of the Agreement. In the event of the occurrence during the Early Payment Period of current obligations related to the discharge of loan debt under the Agreement and the non-remittance from the Borrower of a payment towards the discharge of said obligations by the Payment Date established in the Agreement, Early Payments shall be directed towards the discharge of said obligations.

 











 

If more than 10 (ten) business days remain until the Payment Date for the payment of interest and/or Bank Fees, the Creditor shall direct Early Payments towards the payment of late charges pursuant to the payment priority ranking established in Clause 5.6 of the Agreement. That said, Early Payments in an amount exceeding the amount of paid late charges shall be returned by the Lender to the Borrower’s account opened with the Lender no later than the next business day after the date on which said funds are received.

 

5.12. During the Early Payment Period, the Borrower shall be entitled, within the 3 (three) business days following the date on which the respective funds are remitted to the Lender but not later than 2 (two) business days (inclusively) until the next Payment Date, to serve the Lender with a written application seeking their return or the direction towards the discharge of loan debt under the credit of Early Payments received by the Lender pursuant to Clause 5.11 of the Agreement.

 

The Lender shall then return the Early Payments following their distribution pursuant to the payment priority ranking established in Clause 5.6 of the Agreement, or direct them towards the discharge of loan debt under the credit pursuant to Clause 6.2 of the Agreement in due consideration of Clause 5.9 of the Agreement no later than the next business day following its receipt of the Borrower’s written application.

 

The return of Early Payments shall be executed by the Lender to the Borrower’s accounts opened with the Lender.

 

In cases of the direction of Early Payments towards the discharge of loan debt under the credit, the date of discharge of loan debt under the credit shall be deemed the date on which the respective early-paid amount is directed by the Lender towards the discharge of loan debt under the credit.

 

5.13. If, as of the Payment Date, the payment amount exceeds the payable amount pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the excess amount received from the Borrower following its distribution pursuant to the payment priority ranking established in Clause 5.6 of the Agreement shall be returned by the Lender to the Borrower’s account opened with the Lender no later than the next business day following the respective Payment Date.”

 

3. The Agreement shall be augmented with Clause 5.14, to read as follows:

 

“5.14. In the event of the remittance of payments under the Agreement in a currency other than the payment currency established in the Agreement, the Lender shall be entitled to independently execute the conversion of said funds into the payment currency under the Agreement at the Lender’s exchange rate and on the Lender’s terms in effect as of the date of execution of said conversion operations, with their subsequent direction towards the discharge of debt under the Agreement.”
