Both short-term and long-term bank loans are made under general agreements which provide that security and guarantees for future indebtedness will be given upon request of the bank, and that the bank has the right to offset cash deposits against obligations that have become due or, in the event of default, against all obligations due to the bank. Long-term agreements with lenders other than banks also generally provide that the Company must give additional security upon request of the lender.

There are restrictive covenants related to the borrowings including negative pledges, rating trigger and minimum net worth. The rating trigger states that the Company shall keep or be higher than the “BBB—” rating by Rating and Investment Information, Inc. The minimum net worth covenant states that total equity be maintained at more than ¥495.1 billion on the consolidated financial statement basis and more than ¥307.3 billion on the separate financial statement basis (the parent company’s). The Company is in compliance with these restrictive covenants at March 31, 2013.
