Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the early-repayment indemnity clause was validly agreed and bound the parties.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The clause was clear, negotiated in the context of a fixed-term loan, and nothing showed it failed to reflect the parties' common intent.
Extrahierte Begründung
The borrower was an experienced real-estate businessman; the contracts plainly provided for a fee if the loan was repaid before term; no serious reason justified departing from the literal wording.
