Aside from the repayment methods provided in Paragraph 1 hereof, Party A has the option to pay back the principal in installment or in one lump sum before the loan expires.
4. The method of loan interest calculation is as follows:
□(1) Calculated by Party B’s prime rate (or other benchmark rates) at ____ % plus an annual rate of ____ % (totaling _____ % per annum); the interest rate will be adjusted subsequently as Party B’s prime rate (or other benchmark rate) changes, and interest will be calculated at the adjusted annual rate starting from the first payment date after the adjustment.

The prime rate (or other benchmark rates) referred to in Paragraph 1 should be based on the rediscount rate of the Central Bank, average interest rate of the time deposits of major banks, average call lending rate, money market rate, or other representative and transparent market benchmark rate, plus a certain percentage.
5. When Party B adjusts its prime rate (or other benchmark rates), Party B shall notify Party A of the adjusted prime rate (or other benchmark rates). If Party B did not make such notification, the interest and delay interest will be calculated at the originally agreed rate when lending rate is adjusted higher, and calculated at lower rate when lending rate is adjusted down.
B shall post the announcement at its business places and on its website, and in addition, notify Party A in a mutually agreed manner (the agreed method of notification includes notification by phone, in writing, by e-mail, by posting on passbook, on the printout of interest payment receipt, by display on automated teller machine (ATM), or announcement on newspaper). If no such method of notification is agreed on, Party B should notify Party A of interest rate change in writing.

(The blanks above will be entered as agreed by Party B and Party A. However, the agreed interest rates shall comply with Articles 204 and 205 of the Civil Code).
6-1. If claim on self-use residential loan arises out of this contract, and the contract contains an acceleration clause (that is, when Party A is late in one installment payment, Party A automatically loses the benefit of the term and the entire balance of the loan is due), and Party A requests debt negotiation in accordance with Article 151 of Consumer Insolvency Act, Party B may not invoke the acceleration clause to exercise its right to the collateral, provided Party A has missed no more than two installment payments on the date Party A requests debt negotiation and Party A proposes a debt repayment plan in writing at the same time of requesting debt negotiation that he or she is still willing to make installment payments according to the term of this contract, that the principal, interest, penalties and relevant expenses owed are to be amortized over the remaining term of the loan, and interest will be paid on the remaining principal based on the originally agreed interest rate.
If it is apparently difficult for Party A to perform the contract for the remaining term of the contract according to the originally agreed terms and conditions, Party A may request an extension of the repayment period. If Party B determines after review that Party A indeed has the aforementioned situation, Party B may, after obtaining the consent of the guarantor, extends the repayment period up to four (4) years. During the extended period, Party A is still required to pay interest on principal owed based on the originally agreed lending rate.
The term “self-use residence” referred to in the first paragraph hereof means a building owned by Party A and in which Party A and his or her family live. If Party A has two or more residences, self-use residence shall mean the principal residence. The term “claim on self-use residential loan” means a claim arising from Party A acquiring a loan from Party B to obtain funds needed for building or purchasing a self-use residence or for its improvement, including funds needed for acquiring the land or the right to use the self-use residence, and using the self-use residence as security for the loan.
7. When Party A fails to make amortized payment as agreed, Party B has the right, regardless of the age of the debt, treat the deposits of Party A at Party B and all of Party A’s claims over Party A as early payment to Party B and use such early payment to offset Party A’s debt to Party B.
8. Where Party A changes his or her residence or mailing address, or Party B changes its business place, the changing party shall immediately notify the other party in writing or in a manner as agreed by the parties. In the absence of such notice, a party’s notice to the other party sent to the mailing address specified in the contract or last notified by the other party is deemed served after normal delivery time.
9. Party A agrees that Party B may provide information on his or her dealing with Party B to the Joint Credit Information Center (JCIC). However when such information provided to JCIC contains error, Party B should take the initiative to make correction and restore the status quo.
Party B may use the basic information provided by Party A only for the purposes of contract performance.
