1.1 Disbursement

 

1.1.1 The Borrower may drawdown a Loan under the Loan against Securities Facility (subject to the Available Loan Amount and subject to the condition precedents set out in the Agreement being fulfilled), by executing the Annexure 1A in the form acceptable to the Lender. Prior to executing the Annexure 1A, the Borrower will ensure that there is sufficient Drawing Power to draw the Loan. In the event, the Drawing Power is not sufficient for the purpose of drawing the Loan, the Borrower shall be required to create additional Collateral such that the Drawing Power is equal or more that the Facilities outstanding after the drawdown of the Loan. Each drawdown under the Loan against Securities Facility shall require a separate Annexure 1A to be entered into by the Borrower.

 

1.2 Interest

 

1.2.1 The Borrower shall pay interest and the default interest on the relevant Loan in manner and at the Interest Rate and the Default Interest Rate mentioned in the Annexure 1A entered into by the Borrower in respect of such a Loan.

 

1.2.2 The Lender may at its sole discretion amend the Interest Rate and/or the Default Interest Rate in respect of all or any of the Loans initially on the Interest Reset Date mentioned in the Annexure 1A. Prior each Interest Reset Date, the Lender shall intimate to the Borrower the next Interest Reset Date Prior to revising the Interest Rate and/or the Default Interest Rate, the Lender shall provide the Borrower with a notice of [3] Working Days stating its intention to revise the Interest Rate and/or the Default Interest Rate (as the case may be) on the Interest Reset Date. Any change in the interest rates and other charges shall have a prospective effect. It is clarified that the Borrower shall also have ability to suggest the revised Interest Reset Date, and if agreed in writing by the Lender the same shall be treated as the revised Interest Reset Date.

Provided that if the revised Interest Rate as communicated by the Lender, is not acceptable to the Borrower, the Borrower may prepay the relevant Loan together with all accrued interest, charges, payments, fees, expenses, etc. within 15 days after providing the above notice period without any pre-payment charges i.e. the charges levied by the Lender as mentioned in the Annexure.

Provided that if the revised Interest Rate is not communicated prior to the Interest Reset Date by the Lender, then Borrower and the Lender shall agree, in writing, the revised Interest Rate and Interest Reset Date.

 

1.3 Upon any default in payment of dues, the Borrower would be liable to pay an additional interest which will be computed at Default Interest Rate stated in the applicable Annexure on the amount payable from the date of default till date of receipt of payment of the Loan without prejudice to the Lender’s other rights available under this Agreement and in law.

 

33


1.4 Security

If at any time, the value of the Securities under this Agreement falls so that the Drawing Power is less than outstanding payable (principal plus interest and other costs payable under this Agreement) in respect of Loans under this Agreement:

 

  a) the Borrower shall within 2 (two) Working Days, deposit Securities (as per the list of Securities approved by the Lender as amended from time to time) valued at the closing price on the date prior to the date of the pledge for the amount stated in the said notice as additional Collateral or secure additional BG in favour of the Lender, or mark lien over additional FD in favour of the Lender, or repay the corresponding quantum of the Loan by which would ensure that the Drawing Power in respect the Loans is equal to or higher than the Facility Amount outstanding under the Agreement. It is however clarified that nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prejudice the Lender’s right to invoke the pledge and sell, dispose off or realise any or all of the Pledged Securities (after providing a notice of 2 Working Days to the Obligors) and without being liable for any loss or damage or diminution in value sustained by the Obligors Provided that the Lender shall be entitled to sell or otherwise dispose of the Securities/ Collateral or any part thereof by public auction or private contract, after giving a written notice of less than 2 (Two) days to the Obligors, if, in consideration of prevalent market conditions, the Lender deems the same to be suitable, in its sole discretion; and/or

 

  b) The Lender shall have access to the Securities which have been Pledged under this Agreement for any other outstanding Loan as on that date. The Securities which have been Pledged under this Agreement shall be used/invoked to set-off Drawing Power requirement, repayment of Loan amount, interest and other amounts as may be recoverable from the Obligors under the Agreement; and/or

The Borrower also agrees to provide such additional funds, as may be required to subscribe to such accretions.
