The Desired Drawdown Date B shall be a Business Day during the Drawdown Period.

 

  (iii) The repayment time of the principal and interest of the Individual Loan B in relation to such Drawdown Application (the “Repayment Date”):

7. MAKING OF LOANS B

 

7.1 If a Lender B receives an application for a drawdown in accordance with Clause 6 and does not give notice pursuant to Clause 8.1, and all conditions set forth in Clause 5 are satisfied at the time of the drawdown of the Individual Loan B, the Lender B shall remit the Individual Loan B Amount to the Agent’s Account by 11 a.m. on the Desired Drawdown Date B. The Individual Loan B shall be deemed to have been made by that Lender B as of the time that the Agent remits such money to the Borrower’s Settlement Account from the Agent’s Account. Provided, however, that with respect to the drawdown of the Individual Loan B in relation to a Refinancing Loan B, the Lender B shall offset (a) the principal amount of the Outstanding Individual Loan B Money in relation to the Refinanced Loan B as of the Desired Drawdown Date B, and (b) the Individual Loan B Amount in relation to the Refinancing Loan B, and according to the result thereof, shall treat the drawdown of such Individual Loan B as follows.

 

  (i) If the Individual Loan B Amount in relation to the Refinancing Loan B exceeds the amount equivalent to the principal of the Outstanding Individual Loan B Money in relation to the Refinanced Loan B:

 

If the Lender B receives an application for a drawdown in accordance with Clause 6 and does not give notice pursuant to Clause 8.1, and all conditions

 

14


(Translation)

 

set forth in each item of Clause 5 are satisfied at the time of making the Individual Loan B, the Lender B shall remit to the Agent’s Account the amount of the difference between the Individual Loan B Amount in relation to the Refinancing Loan B and the amount equivalent to the principal of the Outstanding Individual Loan B Money in relation to the Refinanced Loan B by 11 a.m. on the Desired Drawdown Date B. The Individual Loan B in relation to the Refinancing Loan B shall be deemed to have been made in the full Individual Loan B Amount in relation to the Refinancing Loan B as of the time that the Agent transfers such money to the Borrower’s Settlement Account after withdrawing it from the Agent’s Account. Provided, however, that even if the Lender B remits the amount of the difference between the Individual Loan B Amount and the amount equivalent to the principal of the Outstanding Individual Loan B Money to the Borrower’s Settlement Account, if the interest on the Refinanced Loan B is not paid by the Due Time, the Individual Loan B in relation to the Refinancing Loan B shall be deemed not to have been made.

 

  (ii) If the Individual Loan B Amount in relation to the Refinancing Loan B is less than or equal to the amount equivalent to the principal of the Outstanding Individual Loan B Money in relation to the Refinanced Loan B:

 

If the Lender B receives an application for a drawdown in accordance with Clause 6 and does not give notice pursuant to Clause 8.1, and all conditions set forth in each item of Clause 5 are satisfied, the Individual Loan B in relation to the Refinancing Loan B shall be deemed to have been made in the full Individual Loan B Amount in relation to the Refinancing Loan B as of the Due Time of the Refinanced Loan B. Provided, however, that if the Borrower does not pay the full amount of the difference between the Outstanding Individual Loan B Amount in relation to the Refinanced Loan B and the Individual Loan B Amount and the interest accrued on the Refinanced Loan B by the Due Time, the Individual Loan B in relation to the Refinancing Loan B shall be deemed not to have been made.

 

7.2 When the Loan B is made pursuant to Clause 7.1, the Borrower shall immediately send to the Agent a written receipt describing the amount of the Loan B and the specifics of the Individual Loan B. The Agent shall, upon receiving such receipt, promptly provide a copy thereof to the Lender B who made the Individual Loan B. The Agent shall retain the original receipt on behalf of that Lender B until the Outstanding Individual Loan B Money in relation to such Individual Loan B is repaid in full.

 

7.3 If notice under Clause 8.1 is not given, the Agent may make the Individual Loan B on behalf of a Lender B through Temporary Advancement (provided, however, that the Agent shall be under no obligation to make such Temporary Advancement). After such Temporary Advancement, the relevant Lender B shall remit the full equivalent amount of the Individual Loan B Money to the Agent’s Account by 11 a.m. on the Desired Drawdown Date B, and if such remittance is not completed by that time, the Lender B shall, promptly upon the Agent’s request, pay to the Agent the Temporary Advancement Costs required in making such Temporary Advancement.

7.4 If it is found, on or after 10 a.m. on the third (3rd) Business Day prior to the Desired Drawdown Date B, and before 11 a.m. on the Business Day immediately preceding the same Desired Drawdown Date B, that (i) the Fixed Trust Property Value on the most recent Trustee’s Regular Report or the Trustee’s Extraordinary Report made by 11 a.m. on the Business Day immediately preceding that Desired Drawdown Date B cannot be maintained at an amount that is not less than the Total Outstanding Balance A as of the Desired Drawdown Date B, or (ii) the Counter-Performed Trust Receivables Amount (Goods’ Value Equivalent) on the most recent Trustee’s Regular Report or the Trustee’s Extraordinary Report made by 11 a.m. on the Business Day immediately preceding that Desired Drawdown Date B cannot be maintained at an amount that is not less than 120% of the Total Outstanding Balance after making the Individual Loan B minus the Fixed Trust Property Value on the Trustee’s Regular Report or the Trustee’s Extraordinary Report (the date on which such fact is found shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Discovery Date”), the Individual Loan B shall be made in the maximum amount (the “Reduced Drawdown Amount”) to the extent that (i) such Fixed Trust Property Value can be maintained at an amount that is not less than the Total Outstanding Balance A as of the Desired Drawdown Date B, and (ii) such Counter-Performed Trust Receivables Amount (Goods’ Value Equivalent) can be maintained at an amount that is not less than 120% of the Total Outstanding Balance after making the Individual Loan B minus such Fixed Trust Property Value, provided that such amount is not less than 100 million yen and in increments of 100 million yen, and the loan amount in relation to the Lending Obligation B of each Lender B in this case shall be the amount calculated as the Reduced Drawdown Amount multiplied by the Commitment Ratio B of each Lender B (making such loan in the amount less than the Desired Drawdown Amount shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Reduced Drawdown”). The Borrower shall be responsible for any damages, losses or expenses incurred by the Lender B or the Agent as a result of the Reduced Drawdown.

 

7.5 The procedures in relation to a Reduced Drawdown shall be as follows.

 

  (i) The Agent shall, during the Discovery Date, notify the Borrower and the Lender B (a) that a Reduced Drawdown is required to be made, (b) the loan amount in relation to the Lending Obligation B of each Lender B, and (c) that the Lender B is required to notify the Agent, by 12 p.m. on the second (2nd) Business Day after the Discovery Date of the amount of the Reduced Drawdown Break Funding Cost together with the calculation basis thereof.

 

  (ii) Each Lender B shall, by 12 p.m. on the second (2nd) Business Day after the Discovery Date, notify the Agent of the amount of the Reduced Drawdown Break Funding Cost in relation to such Lender B together with the calculation basis thereof.

 

  (iii) The Borrower shall, during the Business Day immediately preceding the Desired Drawdown Date B, submit to the Agent a written confirmation stating its approval of the Reduced Drawdown. If such written confirmation is not submitted during the Business Day immediately preceding the Desired Drawdown Date B, the Lender B may elect not to make the Reduced Drawdown.

 

16


(Translation)

 

  (iv) The Borrower shall pay the Reduced Drawdown Break Funding Cost in accordance with the provisions of Clause 18 on the third (3rd) Business Day after the Discovery Date.

 

8. REFUSAL TO MAKE LOANS B

 

8.1 A Lender B who decides not to make the Individual Loan B for the reason that all or part of the conditions under Clause 5 are not satisfied (the “Non-Drawdown Lender B”) may notify the Agent, the Borrower and all other Lenders B of the decision with the reason affixed thereto by 3 p.m. on one (1) Business Day prior to the Desired Drawdown Date B. Provided, however, that if, notwithstanding the satisfaction of all the conditions under Clause 5, such notice is given and the Individual Loan B is not made, the Non-Drawdown Lender B shall not be released from liabilities arising from a breach of its Lending Obligations B.

 

8.2 The Borrower shall be responsible for any damages, losses or expenses incurred by the Non-Drawdown Lender B or the Agent as a result of Non-Drawdown Lender B not being able to make the Individual Loan B. Provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply if the failure to make the Individual Loan B constitutes a breach of such Non-Drawdown Lender B’s Lending Obligations B.

 

9. REPAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL

 

The Borrower shall pay the principal amount of each Individual Loan B on the Repayment Date in accordance with the provisions of Clause 18.

 

10. INTEREST

 

10.1 The Borrower shall pay on the Repayment Date of the Individual Loan B, in accordance with the provisions of Clause 18, the amount of interest on such Individual Loan B calculated by multiplying the principal amount in relation to the Individual Loan B by the Applicable Interest Rate B, calculated on a per diem basis in accordance with the actual number of days of the Loan Term.

 

10.2 The calculation method of interest under Clause 10.1 shall be on a per diem basis, inclusive of the first day and exclusive of the last day, assuming that there are 365 days per year, wherein divisions shall be done at the end of the calculation, and fractions less than one yen shall be rounded down.

 

11 COMMITMENT FEE B

 

11.1 The Borrower shall pay on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the final date of each Commitment Fee B Calculation Period, in accordance with the provisions of Clause 18, a Commitment Fee B in the amount (fractions less than one yen shall be rounded down) calculated as the total amount of the Unused Commitment Amount B with respect to each Lender B on each day during each Commitment Fee B Calculation Period (provided that the Unused Commitment Amount B on the Drawdown Date shall be the Unused Commitment Amount B after making the Individual Loan B on that Drawdown Date), multiplied by the Commitment Fee B Rate, and divided by 365.

 

17


(Translation)

 

11.2 The Borrower shall not be required to make payments with respect to the Commitment Fee B in relation to the Default Period to any Lender B who fails to perform its Lending Obligations B (the “Defaulting Lender B”). The Commitment Fee B in relation to the Default Period shall be the amount (fractions less than one yen shall be rounded down) calculated as the total amount of the Unused Commitment Amount B with respect to such Defaulting Lender B on each day during such Default Period, multiplied by the Commitment Fee B Rate, and divided by 365. In this Clause 11.2, the “Default Period” shall mean the period commencing on the day (inclusive) on which an event of default occurs, and ending on the day (inclusive) before the day on which the default is remedied, and the day on which a default is remedied shall be determined as follows:

 

  (i) if the Defaulting Lender B offers to the Borrower via the Agent to make the Individual Loan B at a later date pursuant to the application for a drawdown in respect of which the Defaulting Lender B has failed to perform its Lending Obligation B, and the Borrower accepts such offer and such Individual Loan B is made, the date the Individual Loan B is made;

 

  (ii) if the Borrower refuses the offer in the preceding item, the date that the offer is refused; if the Agent does not receive notice from the Borrower of its acceptance or refusal of the offer within two (2) Business Days after the offer is made under the preceding item, the offer shall be deemed to have been refused by the Borrower; and

11.3 If an Exemption Event occurs, the Borrower shall not be required to make payments to All Lenders B, with respect to the Commitment Fee B in relation to the Exemption Period. The Commitment Fee B in relation to the Exemption Period shall be the amount (fractions less than one yen shall be rounded down) calculated as the total amount of the Unused Commitment Amount B with respect to each Lender B on each day during such Exemption Period, multiplied by the Commitment Fee B Rate, and divided by 365.

 

11.4 If the Costs Increased Lender B ceases to owe its Lending Obligations B pursuant to the provisions of Clause 13.5, the Borrower shall not be required to pay to such Costs Increased Lender B, with respect to the Commitment Fee B in relation to the period after the termination of this Agreement with respect to that Costs Increased Lender B, the amount (fractions less than one yen shall be rounded down) calculated as the total amount of the Unused Commitment Amount B with respect to such Costs Increased Lender B on each day during the period commencing on the day (inclusive) on which the Costs Increased Lender B ceases to owe its Lending Obligations B and ending on the Drawdown Application Period Final Date (inclusive), multiplied by the Commitment Fee B Rate, and divided by 365.

11.6 In calculating the Commitment Fee B pursuant to Clause 11.1, divisions shall be done at the end of the calculation, and fractions less than one yen shall be rounded down.

 

12. EXEMPTION OF LENDER B

 

12.1 The Lender B shall not owe the Lending Obligations B during the Exemption Period.

 

12.2 If the Agent becomes aware that an Exemption Event has occurred, the Agent shall immediately notify the Borrower and All Lenders B of such event in writing.

 

12.3 After notice under Clause 12.2 is given, when the Majority Lenders B determine that the Exemption Event in relation to such notice has been resolved, the Agent shall immediately notify the Borrower and All Lenders B thereof.

 

13. INCREASED COSTS

 

13.1 A Costs Increased Lender B may, by notifying the Borrower in writing via the Agent, request the Borrower to elect either to bear the Increased Costs or to terminate this Agreement with respect to the Costs Increased Lender B. The Borrower shall respond to such request by giving written notice to the Costs Increased Lender B via the Agent.

 

13.2 If the Borrower elects to bear the Increased Costs in response to the Costs Increased Lender B’s request under Clause 13.1, the Borrower shall pay, in accordance with the provisions of Clause 18, the Costs Increased Lender B the money equivalent to such Increased Costs.

13.4 If there remains an Individual Loan B with a Repayment Date that arrives on or after the day following the Desired Termination Date, the Costs Increased Lender B shall notify the Agent of the Break Funding Cost by two (2) Business Days prior to the Desired Termination Date. After receiving such notice, the Agent shall notify the Borrower of the same by one (1) Business Day prior to the Desired Termination Date.

 

13.5 In the event that notice under Clause 13.3 is given, the Costs Increased Lender B’s Lending Obligation B shall be extinguished, and thereupon this Agreement shall terminate only with respect to the Costs Increased Lender B. In this case, the Borrower shall pay to the Costs Increased Lender B on the Desired Termination Date, in accordance with the provisions of Clause 18, all obligations it owes to the Costs Increased Lender B pursuant to this Agreement. Until the Borrower completes the performance of all obligations it owes to the Costs Increased Lender B under this Agreement, the relevant provisions of this Agreement regarding the performance of such obligations shall remain in full force and effect with respect to the Costs Increased Lender B. Further, in this case, the Commitment Ratio B of the Lenders B other than the Costs Increased Lender B shall be modified as follows:

 

  (i) The Total Commitment Amount B will be modified to an amount calculated as the Total Commitment Amount B before modification less the Commitment Amount B of such Costs Increased Lender B.

 

  (ii) The Commitment Ratio B of the Lenders B other than the Costs Increased Lender B shall be modified to the ratio of the loan amount of each Lender B to the Total Commitment Amount B after the modification under the immediately preceding Item (i).

 

14. PREPAYMENT

 

14.1 The Borrower may not prepay all or any part of the principal of the Loan B before its Due Date (a “Prepayment”).

The Agent shall notify the Relevant Prepayment Lenders B of items (a) through (d) of this Clause 14.2 by the Business Day immediately following the day the Agent receives notice from the Borrower, whereupon the Relevant

 

20


(Translation)

 

 

Prepayment Lenders B shall notify the Agent no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Desired Prepayment Date of whether or not they approve such Prepayment. If such notice by any of the Relevant Prepayment Lenders B does not reach the Agent by five (5) Business Days prior to the Desired Prepayment Date, it shall be deemed that the Relevant Prepayment Lenders B did not approve such Prepayment. The Agent shall judge the acceptability of the Prepayment by four (4) Business Days prior to the Desired Prepayment Date, and notify the result to the Borrower and the Relevant Prepayment Lenders B.

 

14.3 The Relevant Prepayment Lenders B who approve the Prepayment in accordance with Clause 14.2 shall notify the Agent of the Break Funding Cost no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Desired Prepayment Date.

14.4 If it is found that the Counter-Performed Trust Receivables Amount (Goods’ Value Equivalent) cannot be maintained at an amount that is not less than 120% of the Total Outstanding Balance minus the Fixed Trust Property Value as of each Collection Calculation Date, the Borrower shall make the Prepayment in accordance with the following procedures, no later than three (3) Business Days after the date such fact is found (if such fact is found at or after 11 a.m. on the Business Day immediately preceding the Drawdown Date to the Drawdown Date, including the Business Day immediately preceding the Drawdown Date; the “Discovery Date” in this Clause 14.4), with respect to all of the Loan Receivables B or a part sufficient to maintain the Counter-Performed Trust Receivables Amount (Goods’ Value Equivalent) as of such Collection Calculation Date at an amount that is not less than 120% of the Total Outstanding Balance minus the Fixed Trust Property Value as of such Collection Calculation Date. Provided, however, that this shall not apply if the Borrower additionally entrusts the Trustee with monies sufficient to satisfy the Trust Property Maintenance Standards in accordance with the provisions of the Accounts Receivables Trust Agreement during the Business Day immediately following the Discovery Date, upon notifying the Trustee and the Agent of its intent to entrust additional funds (by submitting an Application for Additional Entrustment of Funds) no later than 11 a.m. on the Business Day immediately following the Discovery Date.

21


(Translation)

 

  (iii) Each of the Relevant Prepayment Lenders B receiving the notice pursuant to the preceding Item (i) shall notify the Agent of the Break Funding Cost in relation to such Relevant Prepayment Lender B no later than 12 p.m. on one (1) Business Day prior to the date the Prepayment will be made, and after receiving such notice, the Agent shall notify the Borrower of the same no later than one (1) Business Day prior to the date the Prepayment will be made.

14.5 If the Borrower makes the Prepayment with respect to a part of the Loan Receivables B in accordance with Clause 14.4, the Borrower shall first repay the Loan Receivables B in relation to the Individual Loan B of which the Drawdown Date arrives last, in the whole or any part thereof in an amount not less than 100 million yen and in increments of 100 million yen sufficient to satisfy the Trust Property Maintenance Standards, and if the repayment of all of the Loan Receivables B in relation to the Individual Loan B of which the Drawdown Date arrives last is still not sufficient to satisfy the Trust Property Maintenance Standards, then the Borrower shall repay the Loan Receivables B in relation to the Individual Loan B of which the Drawdown Date arrives the next latest, in the whole or any part thereof in an amount not less than 100 million yen and in increments of 100 million yen sufficient to satisfy the Trust Property Maintenance Standards, and the same shall apply thereafter.

In this case, (1) with respect to the money relating to such notice, the Agent may withhold the distributions pursuant to this Clause 19, and may take other measures in a manner that the Agent deems reasonable; and (2) the Agent shall distribute to All Lenders B other than the Lender B subject to such notice the money paid by the Borrower excluding that which is subject to such notice. If the creditor obtaining an order for provisional attachment (kari-sashiosae), preservative attachment (hozen-sashiosae) or attachment (sashiosae), the Borrower, the Lenders B or any other third party incurs any Damages as a result of the distribution by the Agent pursuant to (1) of this Item (ii), the Agent shall not be liable in relation thereto, and the Borrower shall deal with such Damages at its own cost and liability. The Borrower shall compensate the Agent for any Damages incurred by the Agent due to such distribution.

 

  (b) If the Assignor and the Assignee, under joint names, or if the Borrower, under its single name, notifies the Agent of an assignment of the Loan Receivables B in accordance with Clause 32.1:

 

In this case, the Agent shall, after receiving either of these notices, immediately commence all administrative procedures necessary in order to treat such Assignee as the creditor of such Loan Receivables B, and the Agent shall be exempt insofar as the Agent treats the previous Lender B as

19.4 Notwithstanding Clause 18.3, Clause 18.4 and Clause 19.3, if the Borrower’s obligations hereunder become immediately due and payable pursuant to Clause 24, the Agent shall distribute the amount remaining after deducting the amounts described under Clause 18.3(i) and Clause 18.3(ii) from the amount paid by the Borrower, in proportion to the amount of the obligations that the Borrower owes to the Lenders B under this Agreement, in which case such remaining amount shall be appropriated in the order and method that the Agent deems appropriate.

 

19.5 If the remittance of money by the Borrower provided for in Clause 18.1 fails to be completed by the Due Time, the Agent shall be under no obligation to make the distributions set forth in Clause 19.1 on the same date. In such cases, the Agent shall make such distributions immediately after receiving the remittance from the Borrower, and the Borrower shall bear any damages, losses and expenses incurred by the Lender B or the Agent in connection therewith.

 

19.6 Upon request from the Agent, and if there are reasonable grounds for such request, the Lenders B receiving such request shall immediately notify the Agent of the amount (including specifics) of the receivables they hold against the Borrower under this Agreement. In this case, the obligation of the Agent to make distributions set forth in Clause 19.1 shall arise at the time all such notices reach the Agent. In the case where a Lender B delays this notice without reasonable cause, such Lender B shall bear all damages, losses or expenses incurred by any Lender B or the Agent due to such delay.

 

19.7 The Agent may, before the Due Time of any of the Borrower’s obligations, make the distributions to Lenders B in relation to such obligation by Temporary Advancement (provided that the Agent shall be under no obligation to make such Temporary Advancement). If the Borrower’s obligations in relation to such Temporary Advancement are not repaid by the Due Time in accordance with Clause 18, the Lender B who received the distribution pursuant to this Clause 19.7 shall, immediately upon the Agent’s request, reimburse to the Agent for the amount of such Temporary Advancement that it received.

25. SET-OFF; EXERCISE OF FLOATING SECURITY

 

25.1 When the Borrower is required to perform its obligations to a Lender B upon the due date thereof, acceleration or otherwise, (a) the Lender B may set off the receivables it has against the Borrower under this Agreement against its deposit obligations or other obligations (including the various insurance claim obligations under insurance contracts) it owes to the Borrower, whether or not such obligations are due and payable and regardless of Clause 18.2, and (b) the Lender B may also omit giving prior notice and following established procedures, may obtain the deposited amount on behalf of the Borrower, and may appropriate this amount for the payment of obligations. The interest, Break Funding Cost and default interest and other costs for the receivables and obligations involved in such a set-off or appropriation for payment shall be calculated up to the time of such calculation, and in such calculation, the interest rate and default interest rate shall be in accordance with each agreement, and the foreign exchange rate at the time such calculation is made, as reasonably determined by the Lender B, shall be applied. If the amount to be set-off or appropriated for payment is not sufficient to extinguish all of the Borrower’s debts, the Lender B may appropriate such set-off amount in the order and method it deems appropriate, and the Borrower shall not object to such appropriation.

 

25.2 The Borrower may, upon the Due Date of payment of the Loan B and if it is necessary for the Borrower to preserve its deposit receivables or any other receivables (including the various insurance claim receivables under insurance contracts) that it has against a Lender B that have become due, set off such receivables against the obligations it owes to the Lender B under this Agreement, regardless of Clause 18.2. In this case, the Borrower shall give a written set-off notice to the Lender B and immediately submit to the Lender B the receivables certificates for the deposit receivables or other receivables being set-off and the passbook impressed with the seal of the seal impression submitted. The interest and default interest for the receivables and obligations involved in such set-off shall be calculated up to the day of receipt of such set-off notice, and in such calculation, the interest rate and default interest rate shall be calculated in accordance with each agreement, and the foreign exchange rate at the time such calculation is made, as reasonably determined by the Lender B, shall be applied. If the Borrower’s receivables to be set-off are not sufficient to extinguish all of its debts, the Borrower may appropriate such set-off amount in the order and method it deems appropriate. Provided, however, that if the Borrower does not instruct such order or method, any such amounts may be appropriated in the order and method deemed appropriate by each Lender B, and the Borrower shall not object to such appropriation.

 

25.3 When the Borrower is required to perform its obligations to a Lender B upon the due date thereof, acceleration or otherwise, the Lender B may exercise its floating security interest (other than the floating pledge under the Floating Pledge Agreement; the “Exercise of Floating Security”) over the receivables against the Borrower under this Agreement, regardless of Clause 18.2.

 

25.4

If a set-off is performed pursuant to Clause 25.1 or 25.2 above, or if the Exercise of Floating Security is carried out pursuant to Clause 25.3, the Lender B in the case described in Clauses 25.1 and 25.3 and the Borrower in the case described in Clause 25.2 shall immediately notify the Agent of the details thereof in writing. If any damage, loss, or expenses are incurred by the Lender B or the Agent due to delay of

 

37


(Translation)

 

 

such notice without any reasonable cause, either the Lender B or the Borrower, whichever has failed to give such notice, shall bear such damages.

 

26. ARRANGEMENTS AMONG LENDERS B

 

26.1 If a set-off is performed by a Lender B pursuant to Clause 25.1 (such Lender B, hereafter, the “Set-off Initiating Lender B”), the Lender B shall make arrangements for each Individual Loan B subject to such set-off (such Individual Loan B, in this Clause 26.1, the “Set-off Individual Loan B”) by way of assigning receivables pursuant to the following procedures:

 

  (i) The Agent shall calculate each amount (the “Intended Distribution Amount B”) that the Lender B (hereafter in this Clause 26.1, the “Remaining Lender B”) who has made the Individual Loan B (other than the Set-off Individual Loan B) (hereafter in this Clause 26.1, the “Remaining Individual Loan B”), would have received pursuant to Clauses 19.1 through 19.4 if the amount of debt obligations in relation to the Set-off Individual Loan B, which has been extinguished due to the performance of a set-off, was paid to the Agent.

 

  (ii) The Set-off Initiating Lender B shall purchase from the Remaining Lender B the loan receivables in the amount equivalent to the Intended Distribution Amount B from and among the Remaining Individual Loan B at their face value; provided, however, that the Remaining Lender B may refuse such sale.

 

  (iii) If the assignment under the immediately preceding item is made, the Remaining Lender B shall, at its own expense, notify the Borrower immediately after the assignment by a document bearing a certified date (kakutei-hizuke) pursuant to Article 467 of the Civil Code.

 

26.2 If a set-off is performed by the Borrower against a Lender B pursuant to Clause 25.2 (such Lender B, hereafter, the “Set-off Receiving Lender B”), only if a Set-off Receiving Lender B or a Lender B other than the Set-off Receiving Lender B requests, the Lender B shall make arrangement for each Individual Loan B subject to the set-off (such Individual Loan B, in this Clause 26.2, the “Set-off Individual Loan B”) by way of assigning receivables pursuant to the procedures described in the items below:

 

  (i) The Agent shall calculate each Intended Distribution Amount B that the Lender B, who has made the Individual Loan B (other than the Set-off Individual Loan B), would have received pursuant to Clauses 19.1 through 19.4 if the amount of debt obligations in relation to the Set-off Individual Loan B, which has been extinguished due to the performance of a set-off, was paid to the Agent.

 

  (ii) The Set-off Receiving Lender B shall purchase from the Remaining Lender B the loan receivables in the amount equivalent to the Intended Distribution Amount B from and among the Remaining Individual Loan B at their face value.

 

38


(Translation)

 

  (iii) If the assignment under the immediately preceding item is made, the Remaining Lender B shall, at its own expense, notify the Borrower immediately after the assignment by a document bearing a certified date (kakutei-hizuke) pursuant to Article 467 of the Civil Code.

 

26.3 If a Lender B carries out an Exercise of Floating Security pursuant to Clause 25.3, or if a Lender B receives any repayment of debt obligations it has against the Borrower under this Agreement with respect to its floating security interest as a result of any compulsory execution or Exercise of Floating Security through a foreclosure by a third party, the assignment of receivables described in Clause 26.1 will not be performed. Provided, however, that if a Lender B carries out an Exercise of Floating Security with respect to the floating security established by the Borrower’s violation of the provisions of Clause 21.2, or if a Lender B receives any repayment of debt obligations it has against the Borrower under this Agreement based on such security interest, the Lender B shall assign receivables pursuant to the provisions of Clause 26.1 above.

 

26.4 The provisions of Clause 26.1 shall apply to cases where a Lender B receives any repayment of debt obligations it has against the Borrower under this Agreement as a result of compulsory execution or exercise of security interests (excluding any security interest offered pursuant to Clause 22) through foreclosure by the Lender B’s petition with respect to certain assets of the Borrower (hereafter, in this Clause 26.4, the “Compulsory Execution”), or as a result of the Lender B requesting a distribution in relation to the Compulsory Execution by any third party. Provided, however, that upon applying the provisions of Clause 26.1, the amount equal to any expenses arising from performance of Compulsory Execution (including attorney’s fees) or any expenses arising from a request for a distribution in relation to the Compulsory Execution by any third party (including attorney’s fees) shall be borne by the Lender B, and the Agent shall calculate the Intended Distribution Amount B assuming that the amount of any proceeds earned as a result of the Compulsory Execution, less such expenses, were paid to the Agent.

 

27. RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE AGENT

 

27.1 The Agent shall, pursuant to the entrustment by All Lenders B, perform the Agent Services B and exercise rights for the benefit of All Lenders B, and shall exercise the rights that, in the Agent’s opinion, are ordinarily necessary or appropriate in performing the Agent Services B. The Agent shall not be liable for any duties other than those expressly specified in the provisions of this Agreement, and shall not be liable for any non-performance of obligations by the Lenders B under this Agreement. The Agent shall be an agent of the Lenders B and, unless otherwise provided, shall never act as an agent of the Borrower.

 

27.2 The Agent may rely upon any communication, instrument and document that has been delivered between appropriate persons and has been signed or has the name and seal attached by such appropriate persons and that the Agent believes to be true and correct, and may act in reliance upon any written opinion or explanatory letter of experts appointed by the Agent within the reasonably necessary extent in relation to this Agreement.

(Translation)

 

27.3 The Agent shall perform the duties and exercise the authority provided for in this Agreement with the due care of a good manager.

 

27.4 Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, employees or agents shall be liable to the Lenders B for any acts or omissions conducted by the Agent pursuant to, or in connection with, this Agreement, except for its or their willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Lenders B (other than Lenders B who act as the Agent) shall jointly and severally indemnify the Agent for any and all liabilities, damages, losses and expenses (including, without limitation, any expenses paid to avoid or minimize any damages or losses or to recover any damages or losses (including attorney’s fees)) incurred by the Agent in the course of the performance of its duties under this Agreement, to the extent that such liabilities, damages, losses and expenses are not reimbursed by the Borrower, and only for the amount outstanding after deducting the portion for which the Agent is obliged to contribute, calculated pursuant to the Agent’s Commitment Ratio B. Provided, however, that if any of the Lenders B cannot perform the indemnity for which it is liable, the Agent’s Commitment Ratio B shall be calculated by dividing the Agent’s Commitment Ratio B by the aggregate of the Commitment Ratio B of the Lenders B other than such non-indemnifying Lenders B.

 

27.5 The Agent shall not be liable for the validity of this Agreement, and shall not guarantee any matters represented in this Agreement. The Lenders B shall enter into, and conduct transactions contemplated in, this Agreement at their sole discretion by conducting investigations as to the necessary matters, including the creditworthiness of the Borrower, on the basis of the documents, information and other data as it has deemed appropriate.

 

27.6 In cases where the Agent is also acting as a Lender B, the Agent shall have the same rights and obligations as the other Lenders B, irrespective of the Agent’s obligations under this Agreement. The Agent may engage in commonly accepted banking transactions with the Borrower outside of this Agreement. In this case, the Agent shall not be required to disclose to other Lenders B information in relation to the Borrower it has obtained through transactions with the Borrower other than those contemplated under this Agreement, nor shall the Agent be required to distribute to other Lenders B any money it has received from the Borrower through transactions with the Borrower other than those contemplated under this Agreement. (Any information that has been disclosed to the Agent by the Borrower shall be, unless expressly identified as being made in relation to this Agreement, deemed disclosed in relation to the transactions with the Borrower other than those contemplated under this Agreement, and the Agent shall not be required to disclose any of the same to other Lenders B.)

 

27.7 Notwithstanding Clause 27.6, upon receiving the Trustee’s Regular Report or the Trustee’s Extraordinary Report, the Agent shall promptly (by the Business Day immediately following the day such Trustee’s Regular Report is received, at the latest) report the details thereof to the other Lenders B.

 

27.8

In cases where the Agent is also acting as a Lender B, the calculation of the amounts to be distributed to each Lender B pursuant to the provisions of Clause 19 shall be made in accordance with the following: (i) for amounts to be distributed to each

 

40


(Translation)

 

 

Lender B other than the Agent, any amount less than one yen shall be rounded down, and (ii) amounts to be distributed to a Lender B who is also appointed as the Agent shall be the difference between the aggregate of all amounts to be distributed and the amounts distributed to other Lenders B.

 

27.9 Except for the cases under Clause 27.8, all calculations of fractions less than one yen that are required under this Agreement shall be made in the manner the Agent deems appropriate.

 

27.10 If the Agent receives any notice from the Borrower that is required to be given to each Lender B in relation to this Agreement, the Agent shall immediately inform All Lenders B of the details of such notice, or if the Agent receives any notice from a Lender B that is required to be given to the Borrower or other Lenders B in relation to this Agreement, the Agent shall immediately inform the Borrower or All Lenders B, as the case may be, of the details of such notice. The Agent shall make any documents that it has obtained from the Borrower and has retained, available for review by a Lender B during its ordinary business hours.

 

28. RESIGNATION AND DISMISSAL OF THE AGENT

 

28.1 The Agent may resign as follows:

  (ii) If the Agent gives notice pursuant to the preceding item, the Majority Lenders B may appoint a successor Agent upon obtaining consent from the Borrower.

 

  (iii) If a successor Agent is not appointed by the Majority Lenders B within thirty (30) days (including the day of notice) after the notice of resignation is given as described in Item (i) above, or if the entity appointed by the Majority Lenders B as a successor Agent does not accept assumption of the office of the Agent, the Agent in office at that time shall, upon obtaining consent from the Borrower, appoint a successor Agent on behalf of the Majority Lenders B.

28.4 The successor Agent shall succeed to the rights and obligations of the former Agent under this Agreement, and the former Agent shall, at the time of the assumption of office by the successor Agent, be exempted from all of its obligations as the Agent; provided, however, that the provisions of this Agreement relevant to any actions (including omissions) conducted by the former Agent during the period it was in office shall remain in full force and effect.

 

29. DECISION-MAKING OF THE MAJORITY LENDERS B

 

29.1 The Majority Lenders B shall make decisions as follows:

 

  (i) If a Lender B deems that any event has occurred that requires instructions from the Majority Lenders B in this Agreement, such Lender B may give notice to the Agent to request the decision of the Majority Lenders B.

If the delivery of the uncollected Trust Receivables is made as set forth in this Clause 33.3, the Trustee shall be released from its liability to the Settlor, the Beneficiary, the Agent and the Lenders with respect to disposal of the Trust Property.

Description

 

“Provided, however, that with respect to the drawdown of the Individual Loan in relation to a Refinancing Loan, the Lender shall offset (a) the principal amount of the Outstanding Individual Loan Money in relation to the Refinanced Loan as of the Desired Drawdown Date, and (b) the Individual Loan Amount in relation to the Refinancing Loan, and according to the result thereof, shall treat the drawdown of such Individual Loan as follows.

 

  (i) If the Individual Loan Amount in relation to the Refinancing Loan exceeds the amount equivalent to the principal of the Outstanding Individual Loan Money in relation to the Refinanced Loan:

 

If the Lender receives an application for a drawdown in accordance with Clause 6 of each Loan Agreement and does not give notice pursuant to Clause 8.1 of each Loan Agreement, and all conditions set forth in each item of Clause 5 of each Loan Agreement are satisfied at the time of making the Individual Loan, the Lender shall remit to the Agent’s Account the amount of the difference between the Individual Loan Amount in relation to the Refinancing Loan and the amount equivalent to the principal of the Outstanding Individual Loan Money in relation to the Refinanced Loan by 11 a.m. on the Desired Drawdown Date. The Individual Loan in relation to the Refinancing Loan shall be deemed to have been made in the full Individual Loan Amount in relation to the Refinancing Loan as of the time

 

3


(Translation)

 

that the Agent transfers such money to the Borrower’s Settlement Account after withdrawing it from the Agent’s Account. Provided, however, that even if the Lender remits the amount of the difference between the Individual Loan Amount and the amount equivalent to the principal of the Outstanding Individual Loan Money to the Borrower’s Settlement Account, if the interest on the Refinanced Loan is not paid by the Due Time, the Individual Loan in relation to the Refinancing Loan shall be deemed not to have been made.

4. SPECIAL PROVISIONS REGARDING CLAUSE 18 OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT

 

The provisions of Clause 18 of each Loan Agreement shall be replaced with the following in cases where the Loan Agreement A is validly existing or the Borrower is liable for its obligations under the Loan Agreement A, and at the same time, the Loan Agreement B is validly existing or the Borrower is liable for its obligations under the Loan Agreement B.

 

Description

 

“18.1 In order to repay the obligations under the Loan Agreement, the Borrower shall remit the relevant amount to the Agent’s Account (i) by the Due Time, for those obligations with a Due Date provided for in the Loan Agreement, or (ii) immediately upon the Agent’s request, for those obligations with a Due Date not provided for in the Loan Agreement. In such cases, the Borrower’s obligations to the Agent or a Lender shall be deemed to have been performed upon the time of the remittance of the relevant amount to the Agent’s Account.

 

18.2

Unless otherwise provided for in the Loan Agreement, a payment by the Borrower directly to a Lender other than the Agent contrary to the provisions of Clause 18.1 of amounts owing under the Loan Agreement shall not be deemed to constitute the due performance of obligations under the Loan Agreement. In this case, the Lender receiving such payment shall immediately pay to the Agent the money it receives, and the obligations with respect to such money shall be deemed to have been

 

4


(Translation)

 

 

performed upon the Agent’s receipt of such money. Provided, however, that in the case that the Borrower, upon giving prior written notice to the Agent, disposes (nin-i-baikyaku) of the assets subject to floating security interest (ne-tanpoken) (other than the floating pledge pursuant to the Floating Pledge Agreement) that have been granted in favor of a Lenderas the secured party of the floating security interest, and directly pays to that Lender the proceeds it receives from such disposal in order to perform its obligations under the Loan Agreement, such direct payment shall be considered to constitute the due performance of obligations under the Loan Agreement. The Borrower may not perform its obligations under the Loan Agreement by deed-in-lieu of performance (daibutsu bensai) unless the Agent and All Lenders give their prior written approval.

 

18.3 The Borrower’s payments pursuant to Clause 18 of each Loan Agreement shall be appropriated in the order set forth below; provided, however, that the payments by the Borrower for which the Due Time has arrived shall be appropriated first in the order set forth in the following items, and if, after such appropriation, any payment by the Borrower remain unappropriated, then the payments for which the Due Time has not arrived shall be appropriated in the order set forth in the following items:

 

  (i) those expenses to be borne by the Borrower under the Loan Agreement that the Agent has incurred in the place of the Borrower, and the Agency Fee;

 

  (ii) those expenses to be borne by the Borrower under the Loan Agreement that are payable to a third party;

 

  (iii) those expenses to be borne by the Borrower under the Loan Agreement that any Lender has incurred in place of the Borrower;

 

  (iv) the default interest and the Break Funding Cost in relation to the Loan A;

 

  (v) the Commitment Fee A;

 

  (vi) the interest on the Loan A;

 

  (vii) the principal of the Loan A;

 

  (viii) the default interest and the Break Funding Cost in relation to the Loan B;

 

  (ix) the Commitment Fee B;

 

  (x) the interest on the Loan B; and

 

  (xi) the principal of the Loan B.

 

18.4

Notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 18.3, if any obligation of the Borrower becomes immediately due and payable pursuant to Clause 24 of each Loan Agreement, the provisions of Clause 19.4 of each Loan Agreement shall apply with respect to the order of appropriating the Borrower’s payments. Further, notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 18.3 above and Clauses 19.1 through 19.4 of each Loan Agreement, (i) the Lenders A may, pursuant to Clause 25.1 or 25.2 of the Loan Agreement A, set off the receivables they hold under the Loan Agreement A

 

5


(Translation)

 

 

against the obligations such Lenders A owe against the Borrower, and (ii) the Lenders B may, pursuant to Clause 25.1 or 25.2 of the Loan Agreement B, set off the receivables they hold under the Loan Agreement B against the obligations such Lenders B owe against the Borrower, and in the case of Item (i) above, the Lenders A shall only be required make the arrangement set forth in Clauses 26.1 and 26.2 of the Loan Agreement A, based on the Intended Distribution Amount A calculated on the assumption that the Borrower’s repayments have been appropriated in accordance with the provisions of Clauses 18.3(i) through 18.3(vii) hereof in the order set forth in each item thereof, and in the case of Item (ii) above, the Lenders B shall only be required to make the arrangement set forth in Clauses 26.1 and 26.2 of the Loan Agreement B, based on the Intended Distribution Amount B calculated on the assumption that the Borrower’s repayments have been appropriated in accordance with the provisions of Clauses 18.3(i) through 18.3(iii) and 18.3(viii) through 18.3(xi) hereof in the order set forth in each item thereof, respectively. In this case, as between the Lenders A and the Lenders B, no arrangement by way of receivables assignment in accordance with the receivables assignment provided for in Clauses 26.1 and 26.2 of each Loan Agreement or otherwise shall be made.

 

18.5 If, in appropriating the Borrower’s payments under Clause 18.3, the amount to be appropriated falls short of the amount outlined in any of the items thereunder, with respect to the first item not fully covered (the“Item Not Fully Covered”), the amount remaining after appropriation to the item of the next highest order of priority shall be appropriated after prorating such remaining amount in proportion to the amount of the individual payment obligations owed by the Borrower regarding the Item Not Fully Covered that have become due and payable.

 

18.6 Unless otherwise required by Laws and Ordinances, the Borrower shall not deduct Taxes and Public Charges from the amount of obligations to be paid pursuant to the Loan Agreement. If it is necessary to deduct Taxes and Public Charges from the amount payable by the Borrower, the Borrower shall additionally pay the amount necessary in order for the Lender to be able to receive the amount that it would receive if no Taxes and Public Charges were imposed. In such cases, the Borrower shall, within thirty (30) days from the date of payment, directly send to the Lender the certificate of tax payment in relation to withholding taxes issued by the tax authorities or other competent governmental authorities in Japan.”

 

5. SPECIAL PROVISIONS REGARDING CLAUSE 19 OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT

 

The provisions of Clause 19 of each Loan Agreement shall be replaced with the following in cases where the Loan Agreement A is validly existing or the Borrower is liable for its obligations under the Loan Agreement A, and at the same time, the Loan Agreement B is validly existing or the Borrower is liable for its obligations under the Loan Agreement B.

 

Description

 

“19.1

If any amounts remain after deducting an amount equivalent to the amounts described in Clause 18.3(i) and Clause 18.3(ii) of each Loan Agreement from the amount paid by the Borrower pursuant to Clause 18 of each Loan Agreement, the Agent shall immediately distribute such remaining amount to the Lenders in

 

6


(Translation)

 

 

accordance with the provisions of this Clause 19. Provided, however, that if such money is paid by the Borrower pursuant to Clause 13.2 or Clause 13.5 of each Loan Agreement, notwithstanding the provisions of this Clause 19, the Agent shall promptly distribute such money to the Costs Increased Lender.

 

19.2 If, prior to distribution by the Agent to the Lenders pursuant to this Clause 19, (a) an order for provisional attachment (kari-sashiosae), preservative attachment (hozen-sashiosae) or attachment (sashiosae) in relation to the Loan Receivables is served on the Borrower, or (b) an assignment in relation to the Loan Receivables is made, the rights and obligations of the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders shall be regulated in accordance with the following provisions:

 

  (a)(i) If the Agent completes the distribution to the Lenders pursuant to this Clause 19 before receiving notice from the Borrower pursuant to Clause 21.4 of each Loan Agreement that the Borrower has been served an order for provisional attachment (kari-sashiosae), preservative attachment (hozen-sashiosae) or attachment (sashiosae) with respect to the Loan Receivables:

 

In this case, if the creditor obtaining an order for provisional attachment (kari-sashiosae), preservative attachment (hozen-sashiosae) or attachment (sashiosae), the Borrower, the Lenders or any other third party incurs damages, losses or expenses (the “Damages”) as a result of such distribution, the Agent shall not be liable in relation thereto, and the Borrower shall deal with the Damages at its own cost and liability. The Borrower shall compensate the Agent for any Damages incurred by the Agent due to such distribution.

 

      (ii) If the Agent receives notice from the Borrower pursuant to Clause 21.4 of each Loan Agreement that it has been served an order for provisional attachment (kari-sashiosae), preservative attachment (hozen-sashiosae) or attachment (sashiosae) on or after the remittance to the Agent’s Account by the Borrower and before completion of the distribution to the Lenders pursuant to this Clause 19, with respect to the Loan Receivables in relation to such distribution:

 

In this case, (1) with respect to the money relating to such notice, the Agent may withhold the distributions pursuant to this Clause 19, and may take other measures in a manner that the Agent deems reasonable; and (2) the Agent shall distribute to All Lenders other than the Lender subject to such notice the money paid by the Borrower excluding that which is subject to such notice. If the creditor obtaining an order for provisional attachment (kari-sashiosae), preservative attachment (hozen-sashiosae) or attachment (sashiosae), the Borrower, the Lenders or any other third party incurs any Damages as a result of the distribution by the Agent pursuant to (1) of this Item (ii), the Agent shall not be liable in relation thereto, and the Borrower shall deal with such Damages at its own cost and liability. The Borrower shall compensate the Agent for any Damages incurred by the Agent due to such distribution.

 

  (b)

If the Assignor and the Assignee, under joint names, or if the Borrower,

 

7


(Translation)

 

 

under its single name, notifies the Agent of an assignment of the Loan Receivables in accordance with Clause 32.1 of each Loan Agreement:

 

In this case, the Agent shall, after receiving either of these notices, immediately commence all administrative procedures necessary in order to treat such Assignee as the creditor of such Loan Receivables, and the Agent shall be exempt insofar as the Agent treats the previous Lender as the party in interest until the Agent notifies the Borrower, the Assignor and the Assignee that such procedures have been completed. If the Assignee or any other third party suffers Damages due to such treatment by the Agent, the Agent shall not be liable in relation thereto, and the Borrower and the Assignor of such Loan Receivables shall deal with such Damages at their own cost and liability. The Borrower and the Assignor of such Loan Receivables shall jointly compensate the Agent for any Damages incurred by the Agent arising out of this Item (b).

 

19.3 The distributions by the Agent to the Lenders shall be made in order, starting from Clause 18.3(iii) to Clause 18.3(xii) of each Loan Agreement. If there is an Item Not Fully Covered regarding the amounts to be distributed, the appropriation and distribution with respect to such Item Not Fully Covered shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Clause 18.5 of each Loan Agreement.

 

19.4 Notwithstanding Clause 18.3, Clause 18.5 of each Loan Agreement and Clause 19.3 above, if the Borrower’s obligations hereunder become immediately due and payable pursuant to Clause 24 of each Loan Agreement, the Agent shall distribute the amount remaining after deducting the amounts described under Clause 18.3(i) and Clause 18.3(ii) of each Loan Agreement from the amount paid by the Borrower, firstly to the Lenders A in proportion to the amount of the obligations that the Borrower owes to the Lenders A under the Loan Agreement A, and then to the Lenders B in proportion to the amount of the obligations that the Borrower owes to the Lenders B under the Loan Agreement B, in which case such remaining amount shall be appropriated in the order and method that the Agent deems appropriate.

 

19.5 If the remittance of money by the Borrower provided for in Clause 18.1 of each Loan Agreement fails to be completed by the Due Time, the Agent shall be under no obligation to make the distributions set forth in Clause 19.1 on the same date. In such cases, the Agent shall make such distributions immediately after receiving the remittance from the Borrower, and the Borrower shall bear any damages, losses and expenses incurred by the Lender or the Agent in connection therewith.

 

19.6 Upon request from the Agent, and if there are reasonable grounds for such request, the Lenders receiving such request shall immediately notify the Agent of the amount (including specifics) of the receivables they hold against the Borrower under the Loan Agreement. In this case, the obligation of the Agent to make distributions set forth in Clause 19.1 shall arise at the time all such notices reach the Agent. In the case where a Lender delays this notice without reasonable cause, such Lender shall bear all damages, losses or expenses incurred by any Lender or the Agent due to such delay.

 

19.7

The Agent may, before the Due Time of any of the Borrower’s obligations, make the distributions to Lenders in relation to such obligation by Temporary Advancement

 

8


(Translation)

 

 

(provided that the Agent shall be under no obligation to make such Temporary Advancement). If the Borrower’s obligations in relation to such Temporary Advancement are not repaid by the Due Time in accordance with Clause 18, the Lender who received the distribution pursuant to this Clause 19.7 shall, immediately upon the Agent’s request, reimburse to the Agent for the amount of such Temporary Advancement that it received. The Lender shall, immediately upon the Agent’s request, pay to the Agent any Temporary Advancement Costs required in making such Temporary Advancement, corresponding to the amount of Temporary Advancement that it received.”

 

6. SPECIAL PROVISIONS REGARDING CLAUSE 27 OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT

 

The provisions of Clause 27 of each Loan Agreement shall be replaced with the following in cases where the Loan Agreement A is validly existing or the Borrower is liable for its obligations under the Loan Agreement A, and at the same time, the Loan Agreement B is validly existing or the Borrower is liable for its obligations under the Loan Agreement B.

 

Description

 

“27.1 The Agent shall, pursuant to the entrustment by All Lenders, perform the Agent Services and exercise rights for the benefit of All Lenders, and shall exercise the rights that, in the Agent’s opinion, are ordinarily necessary or appropriate in performing the Agent Services. The Agent shall not be liable for any duties other than those expressly specified in the provisions of this Agreement and the Creditors’ Agreement, and shall not be liable for any non-performance of obligations by the Lenders under this Agreement and the Creditors’ Agreement. The Agent shall be an agent of the Lenders and, unless otherwise provided, shall never act as an agent of the Borrower.

27.4

Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, employees or agents shall be liable to the Lenders for any acts or omissions conducted by the Agent pursuant to, or in connection with, this Agreement and the Creditors’ Agreement, except for its or their willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Lenders (other than Lenders who act as the Agent) shall jointly and severally indemnify the Agent for any and all liabilities, damages, losses and expenses (including, without limitation, any expenses paid to avoid or minimize any damages or losses or to recover any damages or losses (including attorney’s fees)) incurred by the Agent in the course of the performance of its duties under this Agreement and the Creditors’ Agreement, to the extent that such liabilities, damages, losses and expenses are not reimbursed by the Borrower, and

 

9


(Translation)

 

 

only for the amount outstanding after deducting the portion for which the Agent is obliged to contribute, calculated pursuant to the Agent’s Commitment Ratio.
