In the case of such set-off or performance and appropriation, the calculation of interest, the Settlement Amount, late payment charges, and other amounts for the relevant claims and obligations shall be made on the assumption that those claims and obligations are to be extinguished as of the date of the calculation, that the interest rates used for this calculation shall be subject to the provisions of the applicable agreement, and that the foreign exchange rate used for this calculation shall be the market rate prevailing at the time of the calculation, to be reasonably determined by the Agent or the Lender in question.

31

Borrower may, notwithstanding the provision of Article 18(2), set off such claims against the obligations owed under this Agreement to the Agent or the Lender in question for which the Due Date has arrived.

In the case of such set-off, the calculation of interest, late payment charges, etc. for the relevant claims and obligations shall be made on the assumption that those claims and obligations are to be extinguished as of the date of arrival of the said set-off notice, that the interest rates used for this calculation shall be subject to the provisions of the applicable agreement, and that the foreign exchange rate used for this calculation shall be the market rate prevailing at the time of the calculation to be reasonably determined by the Agent or the Lender in question.

(3)If the Borrower is required to perform its obligations owed to the Agent or any Lender due to arrival of the time limit, forfeiture of the benefit of time, or any other reason, the Agent or the Lender in question may, notwithstanding the provision of Article 18(2), enforce the security interest (including revolving mortgages, statutory liens, rights of retention, and other security interests set forth in the Applicable Laws; the same shall apply hereinafter) to perform their claims receivable from the Borrower under this Agreement. The enforcement of the security interest may be realized in the form of extension of the security interest to proceeds of collateral, or in the form of receiving the assets covered by the security interest through substitute performance or collecting receivables from disposition of such assets by private contract; the same shall apply hereinafter.

(4)If any set-off or performance and appropriation is made pursuant to paragraph (1) or (2) above, or if a security interest is enforced pursuant to paragraph (3) above, the Agent shall be promptly notified of the details in writing by the Lender in question when paragraph (1) or (3) applies, and by the Borrower when paragraph (2) applies. If unreasonable delay in such notification causes any damage, loss, or expenses to any Lender or the Agent, the Borrower or the Lender that failed to give prompt notice shall bear such damage, loss, or expenses.

Article 24 (Equitable Adjustment among the Lenders and the Agent)

(1)If the Borrower’s obligation owed to any Lender under this Agreement is extinguished under any circumstance not based on Articles 18 and 19 (excluding such circumstances where any set-off or performance and appropriation is made pursuant to Article 23(1) or 23(2)) (the Lender above mentioned being hereinafter referred to as the “Lender with the extinguished obligation”), the Agent and all the Lenders shall, except as otherwise specified

32

in this Agreement, carry out equitable adjustment among the Agent and the Lenders by means of assignment of claims or acceptance of assignment of claims pursuant to the following items, or through other reasonable measures, in order to produce an effect equivalent to the case where the obligations owed to the Agent and the Lenders have been performed and extinguished pursuant to Articles 18 and 19. In the event that the Agent and all the Lenders fail to reach a consensus on the assignment of claims or the acceptance of the assignment of claims, or on other reasonable measures for equitable adjustment, all the Lenders shall follow a measure to be decided by the Agent in its sole discretion. However, if equitable adjustment among the Lenders and the Agent as specified in this paragraph (1) is expected to be implemented by means of assignment of claims (including, but not limited to, the case specified in item (ii) below), the Lender expected to be the Assignor of the relevant claims shall be entitled to refuse such assignment. Even in the event where such assignment has been refused, the unused portion of the maximum loan amount shall be calculated on the assumption that such assignment has been made.

(i)The Agent shall identify the claims which might have been paid to other Lenders and the Agent on the assumption that the amounts of the obligations extinguished had been paid to the Agent pursuant to Article 18(1) at the time of their extinguishment (other Lenders and the Agent in this context being hereinafter collectively referred to as “Other Lenders”) pursuant to Articles 18 and 19, and the Agent shall then calculate the amounts of the claims so identified.

(ii)Among the claims of the Other Lenders identified by the Agent pursuant to item (i) above, the claims corresponding to the amounts calculated by the Agent pursuant to item (i) above shall be purchased by the Lender with the extinguished obligation from the Other Lenders at face value.

(iii)If the claims have been purchased pursuant to item (ii) above, the Other Lenders that sold such claims shall at their cost notify the Borrower by sending an instrument with a certified date set forth in Article 467 of the Civil Code of Japan, promptly after the sale of such claims.

(2)Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (1) above, equitable adjustment among the Lenders and the Agent shall not be made in the case where the Borrower’s obligation under this Agreement is extinguished by reason of any set-off or performance and appropriation made pursuant to Article 23(1) or 23(2), in the case where a Lender has enforced the security interest pursuant to Article 23(3), in the case where the Lenders are to receive proceeds from the performance of their claims receivable from the Borrower under this Agreement as a result of an auction implemented based on a third party’s compulsory execution or enforcement of security interest, in the case where sale by private

33

contract is made for the target assets of the security interest established to secure the Loan Claims under this Agreement, or the claims containing such Loan Claims for which the Lenders are specified as security interest holders, and the amounts received from such sale are then paid directly to the said Lenders to perform the obligations under this Agreement, or in the case where substitute performance is made for the target assets of the security interest established to secure the Loan Claims under this Agreement, or the claims containing such Loan Claims for which the Lenders are specified as security interest holders, and the obligations owed to the Lenders under this Agreement are then extinguished.

Article 25 (Rights and Obligations of the Agent)

(1)Based on the entrustment from the Lenders, the Agent shall carry out the Agent Services and exercise authority for the benefit of all the Lenders, and, when providing the Agent Services, the Agent shall exercise the authority deemed normally necessary or proper by the Agent. The Agent shall not assume any duties other than those explicitly specified in the provisions of this Agreement, and the Agent shall not be responsible or liable in any respect for any Lender’s failure to perform its duties under this Agreement. Given that the Agent shall be an agent for the Lenders, the Agent shall not act as an agent for the Borrower unless otherwise specified elsewhere herein.

(2)The Agent shall be entitled to rely on, and act based on, communications, documents, and other written materials which are considered to be authentic and correct, and which are considered to have been signed, sealed and issued by the appropriate person (including a Loan Application received from the Borrower by facsimile pursuant to Article 5(1)), as well as written opinions and explanation provided by experts reasonably appointed by the Agent to the extent necessary in relation to this Agreement.

(3)To fulfill the responsibility and exercise the authority specified in this Agreement, the Agent shall exert the due care of a prudent manager.

(4)Except in the event of their willful misconduct or gross negligence, the Agent or its directors, employees, or proxies shall not in any way be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any action or inaction under or in relation to this Agreement. The Lenders shall jointly and severally indemnify the Agent against such obligations, damages, losses, and expenses (including, but not limited to, costs expended for the purpose of avoiding or recovering any loss or damage, such as attorneys’ fees) as assumed or incurred by the Agent to fulfill its responsibility under this Agreement, to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower. However, if the Agent concurrently serves as a Lender, the Lenders other than the Agent shall jointly and severally indemnify the Agent in the amount equal to the balance obtained by

34

deducting the amount to be shared by the Agent as a Lender from the sum of the expenses referred to in the preceding sentence. In this regard, the amount to be shared by the Agent as a Lender shall be calculated in proportion to its Commitment Percentage (provided that, after termination of the Loan Commitments of all the Lenders, the ratio of the total principal amount for this Lender’s Outstanding Individual Loan Amount against the then Aggregate Loan Balance shall be used, instead of the aforesaid Commitment Percentage (the same shall apply hereinafter), and further provided that, if there is any Lender incapable of performing such indemnification obligation, the ratio obtained by dividing the Commitment Percentage of the Lender serving as the Agent by the sum of the Commitment Percentages of all the Lenders other than the incapable Lender shall be used).

(5)If instructed by Majority Lenders in writing, the Agent shall act in conformity with this instruction insofar as it is lawful, in which event the Agent shall not in any way be responsible or liable for any result arising from such action to the Borrower or the Lenders.

(6)Unless and until the Agent receives notice from the Borrower or any Lender of an event specified in any item of Article 22(1) or 22(2) or an event constituting the grounds specified therein by one or both of notice and lapse of time, the Agent shall be deemed to be unable to learn of the existence of the said event.

(7)Given that the Agent makes no warranty as to the validity of this Agreement and the statements represented in this Agreement, each Lender shall examine the Borrower’s creditworthiness and other necessary matters based on the documents and other information determined adequate by the respective Lender, and enter into this Agreement and conduct the transactions described in this Agreement on the respective Lender’s own judgment.

(8)If the Agent concurrently serves as a Lender, its rights and obligations as a Lender under this Agreement shall be equal to those of other Lenders, regardless of its duties as the Agent under this Agreement. In addition, the Agent may conduct generally accepted banking transactions with the Borrower outside this Agreement. In this case, the Agent shall have no obligation to disclose any information concerning the Borrower acquired in the course of transactions outside this Agreement to other Lenders (any information received from the Borrower, unless clearly indicated to be based on this Agreement, shall be deemed to have been provided based on transactions outside this Agreement, and the Agent shall not be obligated to disclose it to other Lenders). Furthermore, the Agent shall have no obligation to distribute to other Lenders any amounts received from the Borrower in transactions outside this Agreement.

(9)If the Agent concurrently serves as a Lender, the amounts to be distributed to the Lenders under Article 19 shall be calculated in the following manner: the amounts to be distributed

35

to the Lenders other than the Agent shall be obtained by rounding down fractions of one yen, and the amount to be distributed to a Lender concurrently serving as the Agent shall be obtained by subtracting the sum of the amounts to be distributed to all other Lenders from the total amount distributed.

(10)Except in the case referred to in paragraph (9), fractions of one yen required to be processed under this Agreement shall be processed in any manner deemed appropriate by the Agent.

(11)Decisions about the interest rate, Loan Period, and repayment date, other decisions, and the amounts to be paid under this Agreement, if stated in a notice issued by the Agent to the Borrower or the Lenders, shall be deemed final and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders, unless obviously erroneous.

(12)If the Agent receives a notice from the Borrower that contains any matter that should be communicated to the Lenders under this Agreement, the Agent shall promptly notify all the Lenders of the contents of the notice. If the Agent receives a notice from any Lender that contains any matter that should be communicated to the Borrower or other Lenders under this Agreement, the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower or other Lenders of the contents of the notice. Documents obtained from the Borrower and retained by the Agent shall be made available for inspection by the Lenders during normal business hours of the Agent.

Article 26 (Resignation and Dismissal of the Agent)

(1)Resignation of the Agent shall be subject to the following procedures.

(i)The Agent may resign by giving written notice to all the Lenders and the Borrower, provided that such resignation shall not become effective until an individual appointed as a successor Agent accepts the appointment.

(ii)If notice is given under item (i) above, Majority Lenders shall appoint a successor Agent with the Borrower’s consent.

(iii)If Majority Lenders fail to appoint a successor Agent within 30 days from the date of notice (inclusive) given under item (i) above, or if an individual appointed by Majority Lenders does not accept the appointment, the Agent then in office may appoint a successor Agent on behalf of Majority Lenders, with the Borrower’s consent.

(2)Dismissal of the Agent shall be subject to the following procedures.

(i)Majority Lenders may dismiss the Agent by giving written notice to all other Lenders, the Borrower, and the Agent, provided that such dismissal shall not become effective until a successor Agent is appointed and accepts the appointment.

36

Agent with the Borrower’s consent.

(4)The successor Agent shall succeed to the rights and obligations held by the predecessor Agent under this Agreement, and the predecessor Agent shall be relieved of all duties assumed in the capacity of Agent at the time of the successor Agent’s assumption of office, provided that the provisions of this Agreement shall remain effectively applicable to actions (including inactions) conducted by the predecessor Agent during its term of office.

Article 27 (Consent of Majority Lenders)

(1)The consent of Majority Lenders shall be obtained in accordance with the following procedures.

(i)If a Lender determines that an event requiring instructions based on the consent of Majority Lenders under this Agreement has occurred, the Lender may give notice to the Agent to request the consent of Majority Lenders.

(ii)Upon receipt of notice under item (i) above, the Agent shall promptly give notice to all the Lenders to seek the consent of Majority Lenders.

(iii)Upon receipt of notice under item (ii) above, each Lender shall make its own decision as to the matter in question and notify the Agent of its decision within five business days.

(iv)If the consent of Majority Lenders is obtained pursuant to items (i) through (iii) above, the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and all the Lenders of the content of the decision, which shall be treated as the instructions of Majority Lenders.

(2)In the case where the Agent determines that an event requiring the consent of Majority Lenders has occurred, in addition to the case referred to in paragraph (1), the Agent may give notice to all the Lenders to seek the consent of Majority Lenders. The procedures after such notice is given shall be subject to the provisions of items (iii) and (iv) of paragraph (1).

Article 28 (Amendment)

This Agreement shall not be amended in any respect unless agreed upon in writing by the Borrower, all the Lenders, and the Agent.

37

(2)Only when prior written consent of the Borrower, the Agent, and all other Lenders has been obtained (such consent is not required in case of assignment of a Loan Claim under Article 24 or 30) and all the requirements specified in the following items are satisfied, a Lender may assign its status under this Agreement and the rights and obligations incidental thereto in their entirety to a third party (the Lender giving rise to such assignment hereinafter being referred to as the “title assignor” and the person accepting such assignment as the “title assignee” in Article 29); assignment of the contractual status under this Agreement and the rights and obligations incidental thereto in part is not allowed. The title assignor and the title assignee shall, in their joint names, send to the Agent a “Notice of Assignment of Contractual Status to Agent” in the form in Exhibit 5 attached to this Agreement, accompanied by copies of the consent letters of the Borrower, the Agent, and all other Lenders. The Borrower, the Agent, and all other Lenders may not unreasonably refuse to give consent, and the Agent shall notify all the Lenders pursuant to Article 33.5 after such assignment takes effect.

(i)If the Loan Claims or other claims receivable by the title assignor from the Borrower under this Agreement are assigned to the title assignee under the intended assignment, the Borrower’s consent shall cover the consent to assignment of such claims and bear a certified date which shall be the same as the assignment date.

(ii)The title assignee is a Qualified Assignee.

(iii)The intended assignment shall not entail withholding taxes, etc. and shall not lead to an increase in the interest to be paid by the Borrower to the title assignee, as specified in Article 18.5. (However, the foregoing shall not apply if a Lender abolishes its loan business in Japan and therefore its contractual status under this Agreement is assigned to its overseas Subsidiary or Affiliate.)

(3)All expenses payable for the assignment made pursuant to paragraph (2) shall be fully borne by the title assignor. In addition, as fees for processing the assignment, the title assignor shall pay to the Agent 500,000 yen, together with Japanese consumption taxes, no later than the assignment date.

This notice shall be given by sending to the Agent a “Notice of Assignment of Claims” in the form in Exhibit 6 attached to this Agreement. If Loan Claims are assigned pursuant to this paragraph (1), the Assignee shall be treated as a Lender for the purpose of the application of the provisions of this Agreement to such Loan Claims.

(i)The Assignee shall be bound by the provisions of this Agreement concerning Loan Claims. (The Assignee shall not assume any Loan Commitment.)

(ii)The Assignee is a Qualified Assignee.

(iii)The intended assignment shall not entail withholding taxes, etc. and shall not lead to an increase in the interest to be paid by the Borrower to the Assignee, as specified in Article 18.5.

(2)A Lender may accept performance of the Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement by a third party (regardless of whether or not the third party is a person having a legitimate interest in the performance of the Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement, including guarantors and third party pledgors) only when all the requirements specified in the following items are satisfied (However, only the satisfaction of item (i) is required where a security interest established by a third party

If a Lender accepts a third party’s performance pursuant to this paragraph (2), the fact of such third party performance shall be immediately communicated to the Agent, by the Lender and the third party jointly, and by the Borrower alone. The provision of Article 18(2) shall not apply to acceptance of third party performance pursuant to this paragraph (2), and equitable adjustment among the Lenders and the Agent as specified in Article 24(1) shall not be made if the Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement are extinguished by reason of the acceptance of such third party performance.

(i)If the third party acquires the right to obtain reimbursement as a result of its performance as aforesaid, or acquires a claim in subrogation of the Lenders, and these are exercised by the third party against the Borrower, the right to obtain reimbursement and the claim acquired in subrogation shall be treated equally with the claim corresponding to the obligation covered by the said third party’s performance, and the third party shall be bound by the provisions of this Agreement to that extent. The third party shall consent to the foregoing in writing and submit such a written consent to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and the Agent.

(ii)This third party is a Qualified Assignee and is neither a Subsidiary nor Affiliate of the Borrower, and the Borrower is neither a Subsidiary nor Affiliate of this third party.

(iii)If this third party’s performance is to cover any obligation corresponding to a Loan Claim, the full amount of the said Loan Claim shall be discharged.

(iv)This third party’s performance shall not entail withholding taxes, etc. and shall not lead to an increase in the interest to be paid by the Borrower to this third party, as specified in Article 18.5.

If the third party exercises the right to obtain reimbursement or acquires the Loan Claim in subrogation, the acquisition of the right to obtain reimbursement or the acquisition of the Loan Claim in subrogation shall be deemed to constitute assignment of the Loan Claim under Article 30, and the provisions of Articles 30(2) and 30(3) shall apply mutatis mutandis.

Article 32 (Termination and Extension of the Loan Commitment)

(1)If an event specified in any of the following items occurs, the Loan Commitments of all the Lenders shall be extinguished. In this case, all of the Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement shall be paid by it pursuant to Article 18 immediately (or by the Due Date for the relevant obligations, with regard to the Borrower’s obligation to pay Commitment Fees where an event specified in item (i) or (iii) below occurs: the Borrower’s obligation to repay

40

the Loan for which the Maturity Date falls after the Commitment Termination Date where an event specified in item (i) below occurs; and the Borrower’s obligation to repay the Loan for which the Maturity Date has not yet arrived where an event specified in item (iii) below occurs). The relevant provisions of this Agreement shall continue in effect until the Borrower completes the performance of all of its obligations under this Agreement.

(i)The Commitment Termination Date has arrived.

(ii)The Borrower has forfeited the benefit of time pursuant to Article 22.

(iii)The Borrower has terminated the Loan Commitments pursuant to Article 2.5.

(2)If the execution and performance of this Agreement and any transactions thereunder causes a violation of the Applicable Laws binding on any Lender, the Lender shall notify the Borrower through the Agent to that effect. By virtue of this notice, (i) if the maintenance of the Loan Commitment, any Individual Loan, or fund procurement for Individual Loans is held to be illegal, the Lender may terminate its Loan Commitment as of the day immediately preceding the date of recognition of such illegality; and (ii) if the maintenance of the Individual Loan already made is held to be illegal on or before their Due Date, the Lender may demand the Borrower to pay the Outstanding Individual Loan Amount, on the assumption that their Due Dates arrived on the day immediately preceding the date of recognition of such illegality (or on the date set forth in the Applicable Laws, if they stipulate the deadline for such payment).

(3)Extension of the Loan Commitments

(i)Request for extension of the Loan Commitments

If the Borrower desires to extend the Loan Commitments, the Borrower may request their extension subject to the satisfaction of the requirements listed in (a) through (e) of item (ii) below as of the Commitment Termination Date then in effect. To request such extension, the Borrower shall submit to the Agent a “Request for Extension of Loan Commitments” using the form in Exhibit 7 attached to this Agreement (hereinafter referred to as a “Extension Request,” which shall be prepared with the signature or seal registered in advance by the Borrower with the Agent) during the period starting on the date 60 days prior to the current Commitment Termination Date and ending on the date 45 days prior to the same. A copy of the Extension Request received from the Borrower shall then be promptly sent by the Agent to each Lender. Each Lender shall, in its sole discretion, fully examine the Borrower’s credit status and reply to the Agent within 30 days from the date of the Agent’s notice of the extension request as to whether it gives consent to the extension or not. In the absence of any reply to the Agent within 30 days from the date of the Agent’s notice, the Lender shall be deemed to disagree with the extension request. Under no circumstances shall any Lender be

41

obligated to give consent to such extension request. Promptly after the reply deadline, the Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Lender of the replies of the respective Lenders. In addition, where the requirements listed in item (ii)(a) of this paragraph (3) are satisfied as of the reply deadline, if there are Lenders intending to give consent to the extension on the assumption that the Loan Commitments will be extended pursuant to item (ii) of this paragraph (3) (hereinafter referred to as “the consenting Lenders”), a term sheet for the Loan Commitments to be extended (meaning the statement describing the Loan Limits of the consenting Lenders and other matters determined necessary by the Agent; hereinafter referred to as the “Scheduled Terms for Extension”) shall be sent by the Agent to the Borrower and each consenting Lender.

(ii)Extension of the Loan Commitments

If the Borrower has requested extension of the Loan Commitments pursuant to item (i) above, the Loan Commitments shall be extended up to the anniversary date of the current Commitment Termination Date then in effect, falling in the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the day immediately following the Commitment Termination Date then in effect (hereinafter referred to as the “First Day of Extension”) falls (or up to the business day immediately preceding the said anniversary date, if it falls on a non-business day), on condition that the requirements listed in (a) through (e) below are satisfied as of the Commitment Termination Date then in effect, and that the extended Loan Commitments shall cover the amount equal to the total amount of the Loan Limits of the consenting Lenders recognized as of the Commitment Termination Date applied before the extension. The Maximum Loan Amount of each Lender after the Loan Commitment is extended shall be equal to the same Lender’s Maximum Loan Amount applied before the extension. For the avoidance of doubt, after the Loan Commitment is extended, the “total principal amount” as used in the definition of the “unused portion of the maximum loan amount” shall include the principal amounts of the Outstanding Individual Loan Amounts for the Individual Loans made before the extension. If the requirements listed in (a) through (e) below are not satisfied as of the Commitment Termination Date before the extension, the Loan Commitments shall not be extended, in relation to all Lenders.

(a)There is more than one consenting Lender, and the total amount of the Maximum Loan Amounts of all the consenting Lenders at the reply deadline specified in item (i) above exceeds the amount equivalent to 66.7% of the Aggregate Maximum Loan Amount at the same reply deadline.

(b)An event specified in any item of Article 22(1) or 22(2), or an event constituting

42

the grounds specified therein by one or both of notice and lapse of time, has not occurred.

(c)The statements of the respective items of Article 20 are true and correct.

(d)The Covenants of the Borrower described in Article 21, and other duties which the Borrower is required to perform under this Agreement, are observed.

(e)The Borrower has already completed its applicable in-house procedures required for the extension of the Loan Commitments.

If a Lender does not give consent to the extension of the Loan Commitment, this Lender’s Loan Commitment shall be terminated as of the Commitment Termination Date then in effect. If it is decided that the Loan Commitments will not be extended, the Loan Commitments of all the Lenders shall be terminated as of the Commitment Termination Date then in effect.
