IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Amendment Agreement to be signed and sealed in duplicate, and the Settlor and Beneficiary and the Trustee shall each retain one original. Mizuho Corporate Bank, Ltd. (the “Agent”) approves, as the Agent provided for in the Original Trust Agreement, the amendment of the Original Trust Agreement under this Amendment Agreement pursuant to Clause 41 of the Original Trust Agreement and retains one copy of this Amendment Agreement. The Agent’s approval for the amendment of the Original Trust Agreement under this Amendment Agreement, however, does not mean that the Agent, as the Lender or Agent under the Loan Agreement, approves the amendment of the Original Trust Agreement and does not mean that it will not claim Settlor’s breach of its obligations under the Loan Agreement, nor does the Agent approve the amendment of the Original Trust Agreement on behalf of the Lender. The Settlor and the Agent confirm that (i) they have not obtained the Lender’s approval for the amendment of the Purchase and Sale Related Agreements and the amendment of the Original Trust Agreement under this Amendment Agreement as of the date of this Amendment Agreement, and (ii) the event of acceleration upon the request of the Lender will occur with respect to the Loan Receivables as a result of the amendment as may be made without the Lender’s approval, and they further confirm that (a) if they might not be able to obtain the Lender’s approval even after the Settlor requests such approval on the “Request for Approval of the Amendment; Approval of the Amendment” dated July 28, 2005 sent to the Lender, or (b) if, even when the Lender gives approval for the amendment, the period during which the Lender may not declare acceleration of the Loan Receivables due to that approval has expired, the obligations of the Settler relating to the Loan Receivables may become immediately due and payable upon the request of the Lender.
