Interest rates on the Loan shall be variable from time to time at BEA s sole discretion and, notwithstanding any other terms and conditions, the customer agrees to pay to BEA forthwith on demand all outstanding principal, interest, other charges and/or expenses in connection with the Loan. The customer agrees to maintain adequate funds in the Designated Account pursuant to the requirement of the Loan to meet each monthly repayment as it falls due. BEA may, at its sole discretion, terminate the Loan, and the whole of the outstanding balance together with accrued interest, other charges and expenses shall immediately be due and payable in such circumstances BEA may consider appropriate including but not limited to the following: 2.1 the customer s failure to make monthly repayment on any payment due date; or 2.2 the customer s failure to abide by any of these Terms and Conditions. 3. The amount of the last monthly repayment may not be equal to the amount of each of the previous monthly repayments and such amount of the last monthly repayment shall be the outstanding amount of the Loan. 4.

The customer s application for the Loan, either in writing, by telephone, or via the Internet, will be deemed to represent his/her acceptance of the Terms and Conditions. BEA may (but shall not be obliged to) record all communications between BEA and the customer, including but not limited to all telephone conversations and instructions given by the customer to BEA, in writing and/or by tape recording and/or any other methods as BEA may determine from time to time.

BEA may take such action as it may at its sole discretion deem fit to enforce any of these Terms and Conditions including without limitation employing third party agencies to collect any sums owing to BEA. The customer agrees to reimburse BEA for all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by BEA on a full indemnity basis with respect to any such enforcement action including all legal charges, expenses, and charges/fees to employ third party agencies. The customer also agrees and authorises BEA to disclose all information relating to him/her and the Loan to third party agencies for the purpose of debt collection and other reasonable actions. 9.

These Terms and Conditions shall bind each of the customers separately even if the same are unenforceable against all or any one of them. BEA shall be entitled to discharge or release or reach any agreement with any one of the customers on such terms as BEA may deem fit without affecting BEA s rights and remedies against the other(s). 10.
