Tranche A Lenders, Tranche B Lenders, Tranche C Lenders and Agent may demand that Guarantor (NAVER) perform its guarantee obligation without exercising their right against, or giving notice to, Borrower, and if Tranche A Lenders, Tranche B Lenders, Tranche C Lenders and Agent demand that Guarantor (NAVER) perform its guarantee obligation, such demand shall also be effective against Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, among the guarantee obligation Guarantor (NAVER) owe under this paragraph, Guarantor (NAVER) shall be released from the guarantee obligation related to any present and future obligations owed to Tranche B Lenders in connection with the Tranche B Loan at the same time as the completion of the Restructuring. If any payment already made by Borrower under this Agreement is avoided by reason of winding-up, dissolution, or the commencement of bankruptcy proceedings, corporate reorganization proceedings, civil rehabilitation proceedings or any other similar proceedings with respect to Borrower, or is otherwise revoked or refunded, Guarantor (NAVER) shall owe a guarantee obligation for the obligation related to such payment as if no such payment had been made.

Even if a Guarantor has suffered any damage as a result thereof, such Guarantor shall not make any claim for compensation for such damage against such Lender or Agent, except where such damage is caused by any reason attributable to such Lender or Agent.

4.	Even if a Guarantor has performed its guarantee obligation in whole or in part to any Lender or Agent pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 1 or Paragraph 2 of this Article 16, such Guarantor shall not exercise

September 30, 2020 Credit Line Agreement for LINE Corporation

any right acquired from such Lender or Agent by virtue of subrogation as a result of the performance of such guarantee obligation without the consent of Majority Lender and Agent until all Lending Obligation of Lenders under this Agreement terminate and all obligations of Borrower owed to Lenders under this Agreement are paid in full. Such Guarantor shall, if requested by Majority Lender or Agent, transfer such right or priority for no consideration to any Lender or Agent as designated by Majority Lender or Agent. In the event where all Lending Obligation of Lenders under this Agreement terminate and all obligations of Borrower owed to Lenders under this Agreement are paid in full, Lenders and Agent shall promptly return such right or priority then held to the relevant Guarantor for no consideration, and Lenders or Agent shall promptly deliver to such Guarantor the amount exceeding the amount for full repayment of Borrower’s obligation under this Agreement if the cash received upon exercise of such transferred right exceeds the amount for full repayment of Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement. Any reasonable expenses necessary for such return or otherwise shall be borne by Borrower.

If a Guarantor has, other than its guarantee obligation under the provisions of Paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Article 16, provided a guarantee for any transaction between Borrower and any Lender or Agent for the benefit of such Lender or Agent, such other guarantee shall not be modified by reason of the incurrence of the guarantee obligation under the provisions of Paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Article 16.

6.	No Guarantor shall claim that it is exercising any right of set-off, right of cancellation or right of termination held by Borrower against any Lender or Agent, or any other right of affirmative defense which Borrower is entitled to assert against any Lender or Agent.

A Guarantor may, pursuant to Article 458-2 of the Civil Code, require any Lender through Agent to furnish such Guarantor with information regarding whether there is any default on, and the amounts of balance of, the principal of, and interest on, the obligations under an Individual Loan, and any penalty, damages and any other obligations incidental to such obligations, and the amounts of any such obligations which have become due and payable. Each Lender shall, without delay after receipt of such request, provide such Guarantor through Agent with any such requested information.

In the event that all obligations guaranteed by a Guarantor have been repaid in full and the guarantee obligation of such Guarantor has been extinguished, or such Guarantor has performed its guarantee obligation relating to such obligations in full, such Guarantor shall have no further obligation with respect to this Agreement thereafter, except for any obligations under Paragraph 1 or Paragraph 2 of this Article 16 arising in the case where any payment already made by Borrower under this Agreement is avoided by reason of winding-up, dissolution, or the commencement of bankruptcy proceedings, corporate reorganization proceedings, civil rehabilitation proceedings or any other similar proceedings with respect to Borrower, or is otherwise revoked or refunded.

Borrower and Guarantors shall make a deposit by way of transfer of funds to the Agent Account or otherwise for the purpose of repayment of any obligations under this Agreement, by the Payment Deadline in the case of any such obligations for which the Payment Date is specified in this Agreement, or immediately upon demand from Agent in the case of any such obligations for which no Payment Date is specified in this Agreement (the same shall apply in the case where any payment by Borrower or a Guarantor is delayed and such payment is made on a later date). In such event, such obligations shall be deemed to have been performed by Borrower or a Guarantor to Agent or the relevant Lender at the time the funds are deposited into the Agent Account.

Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, even if Borrower and Guarantors make payment of their obligations under this Agreement directly to any Lender other than Agent in breach of Paragraph 1 of this article, such payment shall not be deemed to constitute performance of such obligations under this

September 30, 2020 Credit Line Agreement for LINE Corporation

Agreement. In such event, any Lender which receives such payment shall immediately deposit the funds so received into the Agent Account, and the obligations relating to such funds shall be deemed to have been performed at the time such funds are deposited into the Agent Account. Borrower and Guarantors may not perform their obligations under this Agreement by way of accord and satisfaction (meaning delivery referred to in Article 482 of the Civil Code) without the prior written consent of Agent and All Lenders.

3.	Any payment made by Borrower under this article shall be applied in the following order of priority; provided, however, that if any obligation of Borrower has been accelerated pursuant to Article 24, the provisions of Article 18, Paragraph 4 shall apply:

In connection with any application of payment pursuant to Paragraph 3 of this Article 17, if the amount of payment to be applied is less than the amount set forth in any item, then with respect to the item which such amount first fails to be satisfied (“Item Not Fully Paid”), the balance remaining after application to the prior item or items shall be applied in proportion to the amount of each obligation owed by Borrower which has become due and payable in connection with such Item Not Fully Paid.

Borrower may not deduct any Taxes and Public Charges with respect to any payment of its obligation under this Agreement, except as required by Laws and Regulations. If any Taxes and Public Charges are required to be deducted from any amount payable by Borrower, Borrower shall pay an additional amount as may be necessary so that the relevant Lender or Agent will be able to receive an amount equal to the sum which such Lender or Agent would have been able to receive had no such Taxes and Public Charges been imposed. In such event, Borrower shall, within 30 days from the day on which such Taxes and Public Charges are paid, directly send to such Lender or Agent a document in the form designated by Agent so that such Lender or Agent may confirm the timing and amount of such tax payment.

Article 18. Distribution to Lenders

September 30, 2020 Credit Line Agreement for LINE Corporation
