Explanatory Notes - Guarantee By Individual(s)
Note: Chinese version is available for reference upon request.
| To: | The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited |
| The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region |
You have been asked to sign a Guarantee by The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited (the ‘‘Bank”) a copy of which is attached to this Explanatory Note.
THE BANK RECOMMENDS THAT YOU SEEK INDEPENDENT LEGAL ADVICE BEFORE SIGNING THE GUARANTEE BUT RECOGNISES THAT YOU MAY NOT WISH TO DO SO. THIS EXPLANATORY NOTE IS INTENDED TO HELP YOU BY EXPLAINING SOME OF THE MAIN CLAUSES IN THE GUARANTEE. IF ANY OF YOU HAVE ALREADY PROVIDED THE BANK, OR IN FUTURE PROVIDE THE BANK, WITH SECURITY FOR YOUR OWN INDIVIDUAL LIABILITIES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY PROPERTY MORTGAGE), YOU SHOULD NOTE THAT SUCH SECURITY MAY ALSO SECURE YOUR LIABILITIES UNDER THE GUARANTEE. IF AFTER READING THE GUARANTEE AND THIS NOTE, THERE IS ANYTHING IN THE GUARANTEE ANY OF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND, OR YOU WANT ANY ADVICE ABOUT THE GUARANTEE OR THE CONSEQUENCES OF SIGNING IT, THEN YOU SHOULD TAKE INDEPENDENT LEGAL ADVICE BEFORE SIGNING. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE TO PROVIDE THE BANK WITH AN UNLIMITED GUARANTEE (IN WHICH CASE YOU SHOULD INDICATE ON THE GUARANTEE THAT IT IS FOR “UNLIMITED AMOUNT”) OR A LIMITED GUARANTEE (IN WHICH CASE YOU SHOULD INDICATE ON THE GUARANTEE THAT IT IS FOR “LIMITED AMOUNT”).
The Main Provisions in the Guarantee are:
| - | The Guarantee makes you liable for all money, debts and liabilities owed by the person named as “the Customer” in the Guarantee (but, if the Guarantee is for 100% Guarantee Loan, under the relevant application form and related facility only). If you have indicated on the Guarantee that it is for “Unlimited Amount” (an Unlimited Guarantee) then your liability for the Customer’s debts and liabilities (but, if the Guarantee is for 100% Guarantee Loan, under the relevant application form and related facility only) will be unlimited. Where you have indicated on the Guarantee that it is for “Limited Amount” (a Limited Guarantee) then you are liable for the Customer’s debts and liabilities (but, If the Guarantee is for 100% Guarantee Loan, under the relevant application form and related facility only) up to the amount of the “Maximum Liability” as defined in the Guarantee. Those debts and liabilities can be overdrafts, loans, interest, fees, costs, charges, expenses or any other money owed by the Customer to the Bank, including money owed by the Customer jointly with any other person. |
| - | If the Guarantee is signed by more than one person, the Guarantee makes you jointly and individually liable for all money, debts and liabilities owed by the person named as “the Customer” in the Guarantee and the Bank may claim all of the monies owing under the Guarantee from any one of you without having to claim those monies from all of you. |
| - | Facilities made available by the Bank to the Customer will normally be repayable on demand. We may make demand under the Guarantee if the Customer fails to repay the Bank when the Customer should. |
| - | If you do not pay the guaranteed monies to the Bank when they are due, the Bank may charge you interest on that overdue amount and any costs it incurs in recovering such monies from you. Under a Limited Guarantee, interest, fees, costs, charges and expenses are recoverable by the Bank and are included in the definition of “Maximum Liability”. |
| - | If the Guarantee is an Unlimited Guarantee, then the Bank, without needing to inform you or seek your permission, can change, renew or replace any loan or facility made available to the Customer as long as it does not involve any new or increased facilities or any variation to the nature of the facilities granted to the Customer. Should there be any new or increased facilities granted to the Customer or any variation to the nature of the facilities granted to the Customer, the Bank will inform you but will not be required to seek your permission. |
| Page 1/7 |
|
Explanatory Notes - Guarantee By Individual(s) (Continued)
| - | If the Guarantee is a Limited Guarantee, then the Bank, without needing to inform you or seek your permission, provided that the amount of the “Maximum Liability” as described in the Guarantee is not exceeded, can change, renew or replace any loan or facility made available to the Customer or grant any new or increased facilities to the Customer. |
| - | You can serve one month’s notice ending the Bank’s right to continue lending further money to the Customer secured by the Guarantee. That notice will be effective one month after receipt by the Bank. When that notice expires, you will, however, remain liable for whatever monies that are owed by the Customer or which the Bank is committed to advance to the Customer at that date, where you have provided an Unlimited Guarantee but only up to the “Maximum Liability” where the Guarantee is a Limited Guarantee. |
| - | If you comprise two or more persons, the notice referred to above may be given by any one of you. The Bank will treat any such notice as terminating that person’s liability without affecting or terminating the obligations or liability of any other person(s) who has/have not served notice of termination. |
| - | The Bank may, without giving you any notice before doing so, use any money you have in any of your accounts with the Bank to pay your liabilities under the Guarantee. |
| - | While any money is still owed by the Customer to the Bank, you or any of you cannot, without the permission of the Bank, either seek repayment of any money any of you pay to the Bank under the Guarantee from the Customer, or claim against any other security the Bank holds for the Customer’s debts and liabilities. |
| - | Each or any of you may not enforce any of the rights you would normally have against any other of you in connection with the Guarantee, until all the money owed to the Bank by the Customer has been repaid. |
| - | The Bank may require you to pay to the Bank any money you do receive in breach of the terms of the Guarantee. |
| - | If we have the Customer’s consent, we will, if you ask us to, provide you with a copy of the last statement of account issued to the Customer in relation to the facilities covered by the Guarantee. |
Supporting Security
If you provide supporting security for your guarantee liabilities (for example in the form of a mortgage over a property, a charge over shares or a sum of money deposited with this or another bank) then the Bank recommends that you also seek independent legal advice from your own solicitor before signing such supporting security.
Further, as mentioned above, any security already provided or that are provided in future by any of you to the Bank for your own individual liabilities will also secure your liabilities under the Guarantee (except where the Guarantee is for 100% Guarantee Loan).
If the Bank makes demand for payment under the Guarantee and you do not pay the sums demanded then the Bank may, usually after further demand, enforce any supporting security. This enforcement will include taking possession of and selling any property or shares mortgaged to the Bank or applying the amount of any deposits charged to discharge your liabilities.
I/We confirm that I/we have read the above and the Guarantee and that I/we understand the terms of the Guarantee of my/our choice (that is, whether a Limited Guarantee or an Unlimited Guarantee). I/We also confirm that I/we have read a duly completed copy of the Application for Business Revolving Credit / Business Instalment Loan / Business Card Programme / Profits Tax Loan / Easy Export Finance / InnoTech Business Instalment Loan / Business Instalment Loan (SFGS) 100% Guarantee Loan as specified above signed by the Customer, including the terms and conditions, which will apply to the Business Revolving Credit / Business Instalment Loan / Business Card Programme / Profits Tax Loan / Easy Export Finance / InnoTech Business Instalment Loan / Business Instalment Loan (SFGS) 100% Guarantee Loan (“the Facility”) if approved by the Bank. I/We understand that this Explanatory Note does not explain all the clauses in the Guarantee, but only the main clauses. I/We acknowledge that the Bank has recommended that I/we take such independent legal advice before signing the Guarantee. I/We am/are willing to sign the Guarantee and to provide any supporting security and confirm that I/we do not wish to seek ↑ Independent legal advice. I/We understand that this will make me/all and each of us liable for all the Customer’s debts and liabilities (including but not limited to the Facility applied for under the above-mentioned Application) to the Bank (but, if the Guarantee is for 100% Guarantee Loan, under the relevant application form and related facility only) if the Guarantee is an Unlimited Guarantee, or up to the amount of the “Maximum Liability” where the Guarantee is a Limited Guarantee, in each case including interest, fees, costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Bank as described above and regardless of whether the Facility is approved. Where the Guarantee being provided is a Limited Guarantee, I/we also confirm having duly noted the amount of the Specified Sum as set out in the Schedule to the Guarantee, which may be an amount larger than the sum of the Facility applied for or granted under the above-mentioned Application.
c Guarantor(s) wishes to take independent legal advice, the Bank can provide a sample form of letter of instructions to solicitors for reference.
