In such case, any variation to the terms of the Loan will be communicated to the Borrower by CRED and/or the Lender. 
7. Nothing prevents the Borrower from pre-paying the loan in full subject to the pre-payment charges specified (if any) in the Loan Documents. Such charges, if any, will be communicated to the Borrower prior to such prepayment and the Borrower may choose to proceed after having considered the same.
