23.2 The Borrower may, upon the Due Date of payment of the Loan, and if it is necessary for the Borrower to preserve its deposit receivables or any other receivables (including all kinds of receivables under an agreement for insurance) that it has against a Lender that became due, set off such receivables against its obligations owed to the Lender under this Agreement, regardless of Clause 16.2. In this case, the Borrower shall give written set-off notice to the Lender and immediately submit to the Lender the receivable certificates for the deposit receivables or other receivables being set-off and the passbook impressed with the seal of the seal impression submitted. The interest and default interest for the receivables and obligations involved in such a set-off shall be calculated up to the day of receipt of such set-off notice, and in such calculation, the interest rate and default interest rate shall be figured in accordance with each agreement, and the foreign exchange rate at the time such calculation is made, as reasonably determined by the Lender, shall be applied. If the Borrower’s receivables to be set-off are not sufficient to extinguish all of its debts, the Borrower may apply such set-off amount in the order and method it deems appropriate. Provided, however, that if the Borrower does not instruct such order or method, any such amounts may be applied in the order and method deemed appropriate by each Lender, and the Borrower shall not object to such application.

24

23.3 When the Borrower is required to perform its obligations to a Lender when due or upon acceleration or otherwise, the Lender may exercise its floating security interest (the “Exercise of Floating Security”) over the receivables against the Borrower under this Agreement, regardless of Clause 16.2.

23.4 If a set-off is performed pursuant to Clause 23.1 or 23.2 above, or if the Exercise of floating security interest is carried out pursuant to Clause 23.3, the Lender in the case described in Clauses 23.1 and 23.3 and the Borrower in the case described in Clause 23.2 shall immediately notify the Agent of the details thereof in writing. If any damage, loss, or expenses are incurred by the Lender or the Agent due to delay of such notice without any reasonable cause, either the Lender or the Borrower who has failed to give such notice shall bear such damages.

24. ARRANGEMENTS AMONG LENDERS

24.1 If a set-off is performed by a Lender pursuant to Clause 23.1 (such Lender, hereafter, a “Set-off Initiating Lender”), the Lender shall make arrangements for each Individual Loan subject to the set-off (such Individual Loan, in this Clause 24.1, a “Set-off Individual Loan”) by way of assigning receivables pursuant to the procedures described in the items below:

(i) The Agent shall calculate each amount (the “Intended Distribution Amount”) that the Lender (hereafter in this Clause 24.1, the “Remaining Lender”), who has made the Individual Loan (other than the Set-off Individual Loan) (hereafter in this Clause 24.1, the “Remaining Individual Loan”) should have received pursuant to Clauses 17.1 through 17.4 assuming that the amount of debt obligations in relation to a Set-off Individual Loan, which has been extinguished due to the performance of a set-off, had been paid to the Agent.

(ii) The Set-off Initiating Lender shall purchase from the Remaining Lender the loan receivables of the amount equivalent to the Intended Distribution Amount from and among the Remaining Individual Loan at their face value; provided, however, that the Remaining Lender may refuse such sale.

(iii) If the assignment under the immediately preceding item is made, the Remaining Lender shall, at its own expense, notify the Borrower immediately after the assignment by a document bearing a confirmed date (kakutei-hizuke) pursuant to Article 467 of the Civil Code.

24.2 If a set-off is performed by the Borrower against a Lender pursuant to Clause 23.2 (such Lender, hereafter, a “Set-off Receiving Lender”), only if a Lender other than the Set-off Receiving Lender requests, the Lender shall make arrangement for each Individual Loan subject to the set-off (such Individual Loan, in this Clause 24.2, a “Set-off Individual Loan”) by way of assigning receivables pursuant to the procedures described in the items below:

(i) The Agent shall calculate each Intended Distribution Amount that the Lender (hereafter in this Clause 24.2, the “Remaining Lender”), who has made the Individual Loan (other than the Set-off Individual Loan) (hereafter in this Clause 24.2, the “Remaining Individual Loan”) should have received

25

pursuant to Clauses 17.1 through 17.4 assuming that the amount of debt obligations in relation to a Set-off Individual Loan, which has been extinguished due to the performance of a set-off, had been paid to the Agent.

(ii) The Set-off Receiving Lender shall purchase from the Remaining Lender the loan receivables of the amount equivalent to the Intended Distribution Amount from and among the Remaining Individual Loan at their face value.

(iii) If the assignment under the immediately preceding item is made, the Remaining Lender shall, at its own expense, notify the Borrower immediately after the assignment by a document bearing a confirmed date (kakutei-hizuke) pursuant to Article 467 of the Civil Code.

24.3 If a Lender exercises its floating security interest pursuant to Clause 23.3, or if a Lender receives any repayment of debt obligations it has against the Borrower under this Agreement with respect to its floating security interest as a result of any compulsory execution or exercise of security interest through a foreclosure by a third party, the assignment of receivables described in Clause 24.1 will not be performed. Provided, however, that if a Lender exercises its security interest of the security established by the Borrower’s violation of the provisions of Clause 19.2, or if a Lender receives any repayment of debt obligations it has against the Borrower under this Agreement based on such security interest, the Lender shall assign receivables pursuant to the provisions of Clause 24.1 above.

24.4 The provisions of Clause 24.1 shall apply to the cases where a Lender receives any repayment of debt obligations it has against the Borrower under this Agreement as a result of compulsory execution or exercise of security interest (excluding any security interest offered upon consent pursuant to the proviso of Clause 19.2 and Clause 20) through foreclosure by the Lender’s petition with respect to certain assets of the Borrower (hereafter, in this Clause 24.4, the “Compulsory Execution”), or as a result of the Lender requesting a distribution in relation to the Compulsory Execution by any third party. Provided, however, that upon applying the provisions of Clause 24.1, the amount equal to any expenses arising from its performance of Compulsory Execution (including attorney’s fees) or any expenses arising from its request for a distribution in relation to the Compulsory Execution by any third party (including attorney’s fees) shall belong to the Lender, and the Agent shall calculate the Intended Distribution Amount assuming that the amount of any proceeds earned as a result of the Compulsory Execution, less such expenses, were paid to the Agent.

25. RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE AGENT

25.1 The Agent shall, pursuant to the entrustment by All Lenders, perform the Agent Services and exercise rights for the benefit of All Lenders, and shall exercise the rights which, in the Agent’s opinion, are ordinarily necessary or appropriate, upon performing the Agent Services. The Agent shall not be liable for the duties other than those expressly specified in each provision of this Agreement, nor shall be liable for any non-performance of obligations by the Lenders under this Agreement. The Agent shall be an agent of the Lenders and, unless otherwise provided, shall never act as an agent of the Borrower.

26

25.2 The Agent may rely upon any communication, instrument and document that has been delivered between appropriate persons and has been signed or has the name and seal attached by such appropriate persons and believed by the Agent to be true and correct, and may act in reliance upon any written opinion or explanatory letter of experts appointed by the Agent within the reasonably necessary extent in relation to this Agreement.

25.3 The Agent shall perform its duties and exercise its authorities provided for in this Agreement with the due care of a good manager.

25.4 Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, employees or agents shall be liable to the Lenders for any acts or omissions conducted by the Agent pursuant to, or in connection with this Agreement, except for its or their willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Lenders (other than Lenders who act as the Agent) shall jointly and severally indemnify the Agent for any and all liabilities, damages, losses and expenses (including, without limitation, any expenses paid to avoid or minimize any damages or losses and paid in order to recover any damages or losses (including attorney’s fees)) incurred by the Agent in the course of the performance of its duties under this Agreement, to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower, and only for the amount outstanding after deducting the portion for which the Agent should contribute, calculated pursuant to the Agent’s Participation Ratio. Provided, however, that if any of the Lenders cannot perform the indemnity for which it is liable, the Agent’s Participation Ratio shall be figured by dividing the Agent’s Participation Ratio by the aggregate of the Participation Ratio of the Lenders other than such non-indemnifying Lenders.

25.5 The Agent shall not be liable for the validity of this Agreement, nor shall guarantee any matters represented by the parties in this Agreement. The Lenders shall enter into, and conduct transactions contemplated in, this Agreement at its sole discretion by conducting investigations as to the necessary matters including creditworthiness of the Borrower on the basis of the documents, information and other data as it has deemed appropriate.

25.6 In cases where the Agent is also acting as a Lender, the Agent shall have the same rights and obligations as each other Lender, irrespective of the Agent’s obligations under this Agreement. The Agent may engage in commonly accepted banking transactions with the Borrower other than under this Agreement. In this case, the Agent shall not be required to disclose to other Lenders the information in relation to the Borrower it has obtained through the transactions with the Borrower other than under this Agreement, nor shall the Agent be required to distribute to other Lenders any money it has received from the Borrower through transactions with the Borrower other than under this Agreement. (Any information that has been disclosed to the Agent by the Borrower shall be, unless expressly identified as being made in relation to this Agreement, deemed disclosed in relation to the transactions with the Borrower other than under this Agreement, and the Agent shall not be required to disclose any of the same to other Lenders.)

25.7 In cases where the Agent is also acting as a Lender, the calculation of the amounts to be distributed to each Lender pursuant to the provisions of Clause 17 shall be made in accordance with the following: (i) for amounts to be distributed to each Lender

27

other than the Agent, any amount less than one yen shall be rounded down, and (ii) for amounts to be distributed to a Lender who is also appointed as the Agent shall be the difference between the aggregate of the amounts to be distributed to All Lenders and the aggregate of the amounts distributed to other Lenders.

25.8 Except for the cases under Clause 25.7, all calculations of fractions less than one yen that are required under this Agreement shall be made in the manner the Agent deems appropriate.

25.9 If the Agent receives any notice from the Borrower which is required to be given to each Lender in relation to this Agreement, the Agent shall immediately inform All Lenders of the details of such notice, or if the Agent receives any notice from a Lender which is required to be given to the Borrower or other Lenders, the Agent shall immediately inform the Borrower or All Lenders, as the case may be, of the details of such notice. The Agent shall make any documents, which the Agent has obtained from the Borrower and has kept, available for review by a Lender during the ordinary business hours.

26. RESIGNATION AND DISMISSAL OF THE AGENT

26.1 The resignation of the Agent shall follow the procedures described below:

(i) The Agent may resign its position as the Agent by giving written notice to All Lenders and the Borrower; provided, however, that such resignation shall not become effective until a successor Agent is appointed and such successor accepts such appointment.

(ii) If the Agent gives notice pursuant to the preceding item, the Majority Lenders may appoint a successor Agent upon obtaining consent from the Borrower.

(iii) If a successor Agent is not appointed by the Majority Lenders within thirty (30) days (including the same day of notice) after the notice of resignation is given as described in Item (i) above, or if the entity being appointed by the Majority Lenders as a successor Agent does not accept its assumption of the office of the Agent, the Agent in office at that time shall, upon obtaining consent form the Borrower, appoint a successor Agent on behalf of the Majority Lenders.

26.2 The dismissal of the Agent shall follow the procedures described below:

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

(ii) If the Majority Lenders gives notice pursuant to the preceding item, the Majority Lenders may appoint a successor Agent upon obtaining consent from the Borrower.

28

26.3 If the entity appointed as the successor Agent pursuant to Clause 26.1 or 26.2 accepts the assumption of the office, the former Agent shall deliver to the successor Agent all documents and the materials it has kept as the Agent under this Agreement, and shall give all the support necessary for the successor Agent to perform the duties of the Agent under this Agreement.

26.4 The successor Agent shall succeed to the rights and obligations of the former Agent under this Agreement, and the former Agent shall, at the time of the assumption of office by the successor Agent, be exempted from all of its obligations as the Agent; provided, however, that the provisions of this Agreement relevant to any actions (including omissions) conducted by the former Agent during the period it was in office shall remain in full force and effect.

27. CLARIFICATION OF THE INTENTION OF THE MAJORITY LENDERS

27.1 The clarification of the intention of the Majority Lenders shall follow the procedures described below:

(ii) The Agent shall, upon receipt of a notice described in the preceding item, immediately give to All Lenders notice to seek the clarification of the intention of the Majority Lenders.

(iv) If a decision of the Majority Lenders is made pursuant to the preceding three items, the Agent shall immediately notify the Borrower and All Lenders of such decision as the instruction by the Majority Lenders.

27.2 If the Agent deems that any event which requires the clarification of the intention of the Majority Lenders occurs, other than in the case of Clause 27.1, the Agent may give to All Lenders notice to seek such clarification. In such case, procedures to be taken after giving the notice shall follow the provisions of Items (ii) through (iv) of Clause 27.1.

1. Spread for the first Interest Period shall be 0.900%, and spread for the second Interest Period and thereafter shall be determined by the Guarantor’s rating of long-term obligation by Xxxxx’x as of eleven (11) o’clock A.M. on the Second Business Day prior to the commencement date of the relevant Interest Period. Possible figures of spread for the second Interest Period and thereafter are shown in the above chart. Figures for the Borrower’s non-consolidated net asset value shown in the above chart shall be the value as of the final day of each fiscal year-end, and the relevant spread will be applied to the next coming Interest Payment Date on June 30 every year. The spread applied to the Loan shall be applied to the whole relevant Interest Period, and will not be changed until the relevant Interest Period is ended.

2. When the Guarantor discontinues obtaining the rating of the long-term obligation (including the case of removal or cancellation of such rating), the applicable spread shall be decided by the consent of the Majority Lenders, the Borrower and the Guarantor upon the consultation among the all parties hereof.

3. If the Guarantor can not ensure to keep the amount of capital described in each of its consolidate balance sheets as of each fiscal year-ends to 75 % or higher over that of the last fiscal year and to not less than 526.7 billion yen (provided that if such amount of capital becomes less than 526.7 billion yen, the Guarantor shall be deemed to be default of this clause even if the amount of capital is 75% or higher over that of the last fiscal year), 0.1% shall be added to the spread shown in the above chart.
