Article 3 Interest Rate and Payment of Interest
3.1 Basic rules for determining interest rate
3.1.1 The loan interest rate under the Contract is based on the Loan Prime Rate (LPR), and is calculated according to the Loan Prime Rate (LPR) plus (minus) points (1 basis point is 0.01%, and 1 percentage point is 100 basis points). The interest rate is agreed by both parties in the Credit Use Application after negotiation every time the credit is used.
Where both parties agree to apply a fixed interest rate in the Credit Use Application, where the specific value is recorded in the field of fixed interest rate value, the specific interest rate of each loan shall be subject to the recorded value in the fixed interest rate value column in the Credit Use Application, which shall be determined according to the plus (minus) point value agreed in the Credit Use Application on the basis of the specific value of the Loan Prime Rate (LPR) applicable to the applicable date of the pricing benchmark agreed in the Credit Use Application (hereinafter referred to as “LPR value”). Where the specific value is not recorded in the column of fixed interest rate value, the specific interest rate of each loan shall be determined according to the plus (minus) point value agreed in the Credit Use Application on the basis of the LPR value applicable to the applicable date of pricing benchmark agreed in the Credit Use Application.
Where both parties agree to apply floating interest rate in the Credit Use Application, the specific interest rate of each loan is determined on the basis of the LPR value applicable to the applicable date of the pricing benchmark agreed in the Credit Use Application, and according to the plus (minus) point value, interest rate floating rules, interest rate floating cycle, interest rate floating cycle unit and the start date for floating of a specific date (if necessary) agreed in the Credit Use Application.
3.1.2 Where the currency is RMB, the daily interest rate = monthly interest rate/30, and the monthly interest rate = annual interest rate/12; if the currency is Hong Kong dollar, British pound and Australian dollar, the daily interest rate = annual interest rate/365; if the currencies are USD, Euro, JPY and other foreign currencies accepted by the Lender, the daily interest rate = annual interest rate/360.
▲▲ 3.2 Interest rate on loan
The loan interest rate at the time of lending each loan is determined on the basis of the LPR value applicable to the “applicable date of pricing benchmark” agreed in the corresponding Credit Use Application, and according to the plus (minus) point value agreed in the Credit Use Application. The “applicable date of pricing benchmark” is the T-day, and the applicable LPR value on the T-day is the latest published Loan Prime Rate (LPR) value before the T-day.
3.3 Adjustment of interest rate
3.3.1 Where the fixed interest rate is recorded in the Credit Use Application, the recorded interest rate shall be implemented during the loan term.
▲▲3.3.2 Where the floating interest rate is recorded in the Credit Use Application, the loan interest rate adjustment date shall be determined according to the interest rate floating rules, interest rate floating cycle, interest rate floating cycle unit and start date for floating of specific date (if necessary) agreed in the Credit Use Application, and the adjusted interest rate shall apply from the loan interest rate adjustment date.
3.3.2.1 Where the Loan Prime Rate (LPR) is adjusted during the loan period, the adjustment period of the loan interest rate shall be calculated from the “ loan receipt date” or “start date for floating of specific date” selected in the “Interest Rate Floating Rules”, and the loan interest rate adjustment period shall be calculated from the “loan receipt date” or “start date for floating of specific date” Fill in the number of interest rate floating cycles in the blank column of interest rate floating cycle, and the unit of interest rate floating cycle can be selected by day or month. Where the number of interest rate floating cycles is filled with “1” and the floating cycle unit is selected as “by day”, the Loan Prime Rate (LPR) adjustment date shall be taken as the loan interest rate adjustment date; if the number of interest rate floating cycles is filled with “3” and the floating cycle unit is selected as “by day”, the loan interest rate adjustment date will be the day of every 3 days from the “loan receipt date” or “start date for floating of specific date”. If the number of interest rate floating cycles is filled with “1” and the floating cycle unit is selected as “by month”, the loan interest rate adjustment date will be the day of every full month from “loan receipt date” or “start date for floating of specific date”; if “3” is filled in for the number of interest rate floating cycles and “by month” is selected for the floating cycle unit, the loan interest rate adjustment date will be the day of every three months from “loan receipt date” or “start date for floating of specific date”.
3.3.2.2 The loan interest rate on the loan interest rate adjustment date is determined on the basis of the applicable LPR value on the loan interest rate adjustment date, and the value of the interest rate plus (minus) point remains unchanged (except for the adjustment of the plus (minus) point value by both parties through consultation). The “Loan Interest Rate Adjustment Date” is the T-day, and the applicable LPR value on the T-day is the latest published Loan Prime Rate (LPR) value before the T-day.
▲▲3.3.3 Where the Loan Prime Rate (LPR) is cancelled according to the regulatory requirements or the corresponding issuing institution stops issuing according to the regulatory requirements, both parties will negotiate and adjust the loan interest rate separately, but the adjusted interest rate is not lower than the applicable interest rate at that time.

3.5 Calculation of interest
3.5.1 Normal interest = interest rate agreed in the Contract x loan amount x days occupied.
