Rights of Participants Any participant in a Lender's interests hereunder may assert any claim for yield protection under Section 4.03 that it could have asserted if it were a Lender hereunder. If such a claim is asserted by any such participant, it shall be entitled to receive such compensation from the Borrower as a Lender would receive in like circumstances; provided, however, that with respect to any such claim, the Borrower shall have no greater liability to the Lender and its participant, in the aggregate, than it would have had to the Lender alone had no such participation interest been created.

Disclosure of Beneficial Ownership (a) Without prejudice to the requirements of applicable law concerning disclosure of beneficial ownership of Shares, any Beneficial Owner (as defined below) of American Depositary Shares who becomes, or ceases to be, directly or indirectly the Beneficial Owner of more than five percent (5%) of all outstanding Shares (whether such interest is held in whole or in part through Receipts) shall, within five (5) days (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays in any part of Japan) following such event, send written notice to the Issuer at its head office in Japan as specified in Section 7.5 containing the following information: (i) the name, address and nationality of such Beneficial Owner and all other persons by whom or on whose behalf such Shares have been acquired or are held; the number of American Depositary Shares and total Shares (including American Depositary Shares) beneficially owned directly or indirectly by such Beneficial Owner immediately before and immediately after the event requiring notification; the names and addresses of any persons other than the Depositary, the Custodian, or either of their nominees, through whom such beneficially owned Shares are held, or in whose name such Shares are registered in the Issuer’s transfer book, and the respective numbers of Shares beneficially held through each such person; the date or dates of acquisition of the beneficial interest in such Shares; and the number of any Shares; and the number of any Shares in which such Beneficial Owner has the right to acquire directly or indirectly beneficial ownership and material information as to such right(s) of acquisition; and (ii) the names, addresses and nationalities of any persons with whom such Beneficial Owner is acting as a partnership, limited partnership, syndicate or other group for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of a beneficial interest in Shares; and the number of Shares being acquired, held, voted or disposed of as a result of such association (being the total number held by such group). Any Beneficial Owner of more than five percent (5%) of all outstanding Shares shall promptly notify the Issuer as provided above of any material change in the information previously notified, including, without limitation, a change of more than one (1%) in the percentage of total Shares to which the beneficial ownership relates. As used herein, the term "Beneficial Owners" of Shares means a person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, trust arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise, has an interest in any Shares (other than the Depositary, Custodian or any of their nominees) which underlie any American Depositary Shares issued hereunder (including having the right to exercise or control the exercise of any right conferred by the holding of such Shares or the power to vote or to direct voting or the power to dispose or to direct disposition) and includes any owner of an American Depositary Share hereunder. (b) Without prejudice to the requirements of applicable law and the provisions of the Issuer’s Articles of Incorporation, any Beneficial Owner of Shares shall, if so requested in writing by the Issuer, provide such information with respect to the beneficial ownership of Shares (including not only Shares underlying American Depositary Shares, but also any other Shares in which such Beneficial Owner has an interest) by such Beneficial Owner as is requested by the Issuer. Such Beneficial Owner shall provide such information to the Issuer in writing the time specified by the Issuer.
Nominees for Beneficial Owners In the event that any Registrable Securities are held by a nominee for the beneficial owner thereof, the beneficial owner thereof may, at its election in writing delivered to the Company, be treated as the holder of such Registrable Securities for purposes of any request or other action by any holder or holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement or any determination of any number or percentage of shares of Registrable Securities held by any holder or holders of Registrable Securities contemplated by this Agreement. If the beneficial owner of any Registrable Securities so elects, the Company may require assurances reasonably satisfactory to it of such owner's beneficial ownership of such Registrable Securities.
Participants The Lender and its participants, if any, are not partners or joint venturers, and the Lender shall not have any liability or responsibility for any obligation, act or omission of any of its participants. All rights and powers specifically conferred upon the Lender may be transferred or delegated to any of the Lender's participants, successors or assigns.
Limit on Beneficial Ownership Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, Dealer shall not have the right to acquire Shares hereunder and Dealer shall not be entitled to take delivery of any Shares hereunder (in each case, whether in connection with the purchase of Shares on any Settlement Date or any Termination Settlement Date, any Private Placement Settlement or otherwise) to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after such receipt of any Shares hereunder, (i) the Share Amount would exceed the Post-Effective Limit, (ii) Dealer and each person subject to aggregation of Shares with Dealer under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder (including all persons who may form a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act) (collectively, the “Dealer Group”) would directly or indirectly beneficially own (as such term is defined for purposes of Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 4.9% of the then outstanding Shares (the “Threshold Number of Shares”), (iii) Dealer would hold 5% or more of the number of Shares of Counterparty’s outstanding common stock or 5% or more of Counterparty’s outstanding voting power (the “Exchange Limit”) or (iv) such acquisition would result in a violation of any restriction on ownership or transfer set forth in Article VII of the Charter (the “Counterparty Stock Ownership Restrictions”). Any purported delivery hereunder shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after such delivery, (i) the Share Amount would exceed the Post-Effective Limit, (ii) the Dealer Group would directly or indirectly so beneficially own in excess of the Threshold Number of Shares, (iii) Dealer would directly or indirectly hold in excess of the Exchange Limit or (iv) such delivery would result in a violation of the Counterparty Stock Ownership Restrictions. If any delivery owed to Dealer hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, Counterparty’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and Counterparty shall make such delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than one Scheduled Trading Day after, Dealer gives notice to Counterparty that, after such delivery, (i) the Share Amount would not exceed the Post-Effective Limit, (ii) the Dealer Group would not directly or indirectly so beneficially own in excess of the Threshold Number of Shares, (iii) Dealer would not directly or indirectly hold in excess of the Exchange Limit and (iv) such delivery would not result in a violation of the Counterparty Stock Ownership Restrictions. In addition, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any delivery owed to Dealer hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of the immediately preceding Paragraph, Dealer shall be permitted to make any payment due in respect of such Shares to Counterparty in two or more tranches that correspond in amount to the number of Shares delivered by Counterparty to Dealer pursuant to the immediately preceding Paragraph. Dealer represents and warrants that, as of the Trade Date, if Dealer received the maximum number of Shares hereunder assuming both (i) Physical Settlement applies and (ii) no restrictions on the delivery of Shares hereunder were applicable, then the Counterparty Stock Ownership Restrictions would not apply so as to limit the number of Shares that Dealer could receive hereunder.
Permitted Participants; Effect Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more entities (“Participants”) participating interests in any Outstanding Credit Exposure owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the owner of its Outstanding Credit Exposure and the holder of any Note issued to it in evidence thereof for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents.
Limitations on Rights of Participants A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12 or 2.13 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.14(e) as though it were a Lender.
