If it is still not sufficient to repay the loan, within the scope of debt repayment, the securities firm may dispose the account balance in the client warranted finance account or other credit account, and any surplus shall be returned to the client. If it is still not sufficient to repay the loan, the securities firm may collect the debt according to the laws and regulations.

In case of creation of pledge under Article 6, paragraph 3, the securities firm shall proceed to remove the pledge.
