-43-


Agent’s Commitment Ratio; provided, however, that if any of the Lenders cannot perform the indemnity for which it is liable, the Agent’s Commitment Ratio shall be figured by dividing the Agent’s Commitment Ratio by the aggregate of the Commitment Ratio of the Lenders other than such non-indemnifying Lenders.
23.5
If the Majority Lenders or All Lenders give written instructions, the Agent shall conduct acts in accordance with such instructions to the extent that such instructions do not violate any provision expressly provided for in the Loan-Related Agreements and are legal.

(Any information that has been disclosed to the Agent by the Borrower or the Guarantors shall be, unless expressly identified as being made in relation to the Loan-Related Agreements, deemed as the information obtained in relation to the transactions with the Borrower or the Guarantors other than under the Loan-Related Agreements.)
23.9
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 other than the Lender designated by the Agent (a “Fraction Integrating Lender”; but if the Agent is also a Lender, the Lender who is also appointed as the Agent will be the Fraction Integrating Lender), any amount less than one yen shall be rounded down, and (ii) for amounts to be distributed to a Fraction Integrating Lender 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.

(iv)
all governmental permits, licenses and other legal procedures required to be obtained by the Guarantor for it to enter into this Agreement and perform the obligations hereunder have been duly and properly obtained and completed, except where the failure to obtain the same would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the continuation of its business or the performance of its obligations under this Agreement;
(v)

The Guarantor hereby agrees that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of the Guarantor herein shall not in any way be reduced, discharged or otherwise adversely affected by:
(a)
any intermediate payment, settlement of account or discharge in whole or in part of the Borrower’s Liabilities;

(d)
any grant of time, indulgence, waiver or concession to the Borrower or any other person;
(e)
any invalidity, illegality, unenforceability, irregularity or frustration of any actual or purported obligation of, or security held from, the Borrower or any other person in connection with the Borrower’s Liabilities; or

8.
The Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Guarantor’s Liabilities and obligations hereunder shall continue and survive until all of the Borrower’s present and future obligations to the Lenders under the Loan Agreement have been paid in full and the Lenders’ lending obligations to the Borrower under the Loan Agreement have been terminated.






9.

The Guarantor shall indemnify the Agent and each Lender and hold the Agent and each Lender harmless from and against all loss or damage resulting from any change in exchange rates between the date any claim is reduced to judgment and the date of payment thereof by the Guarantor or any failure of the amount of any such judgment to be calculated as provided in this Section.
