REVERSE OF SECURITY
This Security is one of the duly authorized issues of unsecured debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness of the Issuer (hereinafter called the Securities), of the series hereinafter specified, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to the indenture dated as of July 18, 2017, as may be supplemented or amended from time to time in accordance with its terms (hereinafter called the Indenture), duly executed and delivered by the Issuer and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (the Trustee, which term includes any successor Trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and any other indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee and any agent of the Trustee, any paying agent, the Issuer and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are issued and are to be authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof. By the terms of the Indenture, additional Securities of this series and of other separate series, which may vary as to date, amount, seniority, stated maturity (if any), interest rate or method of calculating the interest rate and in other respects as therein provided, may be issued in an unlimited amount.
Payments of principal and interest on the Securities will be made by the Issuer without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges imposed or levied by or on behalf of Japan or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax, unless otherwise required by law. If any such withholding or deduction is required by Japanese law, the Issuer will pay to a Holder such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the amount received by the Holder after deduction or withholding for or on account of any such present or future tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge will not be less than the amount that, in the absence of such deduction or withholding, would have been received by the Holder. However, no additional amounts will be payable with respect to any Security under any of the following circumstances:
| the Holder or beneficial owner of the Security is an individual non-resident of Japan or non-Japanese corporation and is liable for such Japanese taxes in respect of such Security by reason of its (a) having some connection with Japan other than the mere holding of the Security or (b) being a person having a special relationship with the Issuer for Japanese tax purposes as described in Article 6, paragraph (4) of the Act on Special Measures Concerning Taxation; |
| the Holder or beneficial owner of the Security is for Japanese tax purposes treated as an individual resident of Japan or a Japanese corporation (except for (a) a Japanese bank, Japanese insurance company, Japanese securities company or other Japanese financial institution falling under certain categories prescribed by Cabinet Order No. 43 of 1957, as amended (the Cabinet Order) or a Japanese financial institution designated in Article 3-2-2, Paragraph (29) of the Cabinet Order that complies with the requirement under Article 6, paragraph (11) of the Act on Special Measures Concerning Taxation, among others, (i) to provide certain information prescribed by the Act on Special Measures Concerning Taxation and the relevant cabinet order and regulations thereunder to enable the participants in an international clearing organization to establish that such Holder or beneficial owner is exempt from the requirement for Japanese tax to be withheld or deducted or the interest recipient information designated in Article 6, paragraph (10) of the Act on Special Measures Concerning Taxation (the Interest Recipient Information), or (ii) to submit a written application for tax exemption (Hikazei Tekiyo Shinkokusho) and (b) an individual resident of Japan or a Japanese corporation that duly notifies (whether directly, through a participant in an international clearing organization or otherwise) the relevant paying agent of its status as not being subject to Japanese taxes to be withheld or deducted by the Issuer by reason of receipt by it of interest on the relevant Security through a payment handling agent in Japan appointed by the Issuer); |
| the tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge is imposed or withheld because the Holder or beneficial owner failed, upon the Issuers reasonable request, to make a declaration or satisfy any information requirements that the statutes, treaties, regulations or administrative practices of Japan require as a precondition to exemption from all or part of such tax or governmental charge; |
| the Holder or beneficial owner of the Security would otherwise be exempt from any such withholding or deduction but for failure to comply with any applicable requirement to provide Interest Recipient Information or to submit a written application for tax exemption to the relevant paying agent, or whose Interest Recipient Information is not duly communicated through the relevant participant and the relevant international clearing organization to such paying agent; |
| the Security is presented for payment (where presentation is required) more than 30 days after the day on which such payment on the Security became due or after the full payment was provided for, whichever occurs later, except to the extent the Holder thereof would have been entitled to additional amounts on presenting the same for payment on the last day of such period of 30 days; |
| the withholding or deduction is imposed on a Holder or beneficial owner who could have avoided such withholding or deduction by presenting its Security (where presentation is required) to another paying agent maintained by the Issuer; |
| the Holder is a fiduciary or partnership or is not the sole beneficial owner of the payment of the principal of, or any interest on, any Security, and Japanese law requires the payment to be included for tax purposes in the income of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner, in each case, who would not have been entitled to such additional amounts had it been the Holder of such Security; or |
| any combination of the above. |
No additional amounts will be payable for or on account of any deduction or withholding imposed pursuant to Sections 1471-1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and the U.S. Treasury regulations thereunder, or FATCA, any intergovernmental agreement entered into with respect to FATCA, any law, regulation or other official guidance enacted or published in any jurisdiction implementing, or relating to, FATCA or an intergovernmental agreement with respect to FATCA, or any agreement with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service regarding FATCA.
The Issuer will (i) make any required withholding or deduction and (ii) remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the Japanese taxing authority in accordance with applicable law. The Issuer will use all reasonable efforts to obtain certified copies of tax receipts evidencing the payment of any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge so remitted to the Japanese taxing authority imposing such tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge and will provide such certified copies to each Holder. The Issuer will attach to each certified copy a certificate stating (x) that the amount of withholding tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge evidenced by the certified copy was paid in connection with payments in respect of the principal amount of Securities then outstanding and (y) the amount of such withholding tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge paid per $1,000 principal amount of the Securities. Copies of such documentation will be available for inspection during ordinary business hours at the office of the Trustee by the Holders of the Securities upon request and will be made available at the office of the paying agent.
The obligation to pay additional amounts with respect to any taxes, duties, assessments and other governmental charges shall not apply to (A) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal property or any similar tax, duty, assessment, fee or other governmental charge or (B) any tax, duty, assessment, fee or other governmental charge which is payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding from payments of principal or interest on the Securities; provided that the Issuer shall pay all stamp, court or documentary taxes or any excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies and duties, if any, which may be imposed by Japan, the United States or any political subdivision or any taxing authority thereof or therein, with respect to the Indenture or as a consequence of the initial issuance, execution, delivery or registration of the Securities.
References to principal or interest in respect of the Securities shall be deemed to include any additional amounts due which may be payable as set forth here and in the Indenture.
The Issuer has the option to redeem any series of Securities prior to maturity if, as a result of change in, or amendment to, the laws or regulations of Japan or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax, or any change in application or official interpretation of such laws or regulations, which change or amendment becomes effective, or which change in application or interpretation is announced, on or after the issue date of the relevant series of Securities, the Issuer would be required to pay additional amounts as described above, in which case the Issuer may redeem the Securities of such series in whole, but not in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities plus accrued interest to the redemption date. Furthermore, the Issuer must give the Holders between 30 and 60 days notice before redeeming the Securities, and no such notice of redemption may be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be required to make such payment of additional amounts if a payment in respect of the Securities were actually due on such date. Prior to giving any such notice of redemption, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee (i) an Officers Certificate stating that the conditions precedent to the Issuers right to redeem the Securities have been fulfilled and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel, who shall be independent legal counsel to the Issuer reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, confirming that the Issuer has or will be required to pay additional amounts as a result of such change or amendment. The Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officers Certificate and Opinion of Counsel as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent described above, in which event it shall be conclusive and binding on the Holders of the Securities.
So long as any of the Securities remain outstanding, the Issuer may not create or permit to subsist any pledge, lien or other charge upon the whole or any part of its undertaking, assets or revenues present or future to secure, for the benefit of the holders thereof, any External Indebtedness, as defined below, without according or procuring to be accorded to the debt obligations of the Issuer under the Securities and the Indenture the same security as is granted to such External Indebtedness or such other security or guarantee as shall be approved by Holders representing more than 50% of the outstanding principal amount of the Securities. External Indebtedness means any of the indebtedness of the Issuer or any of its consolidated subsidiaries, with a stated maturity of more than one year from the creation thereof, which is represented by bonds, debentures, notes or any other similar debt securities which are quoted, listed or ordinarily dealt in, or are intended to be quoted, listed or ordinarily dealt in, on a stock exchange or on any over-the-counter or any other similar securities market outside Japan and which are by their terms repayable or confer a right to receive repayment in any currency other than yen or are denominated in yen, if a majority of the aggregate nominal amount thereof is initially distributed outside Japan by or with the Issuers authorization (or guarantees, indemnities or other like obligations (in each case granted or undertaken for the benefit of the holders of such securities to secure the payment of such indebtedness) in respect of such indebtedness).
The Issuer reserves the right, from time to time, without the consent of the Holders of the Securities of a particular series, to issue additional Securities on terms and conditions identical to those of the Securities of such series (other than the issue date, the date upon which interest first accrues, and, in some cases, the first interest payment date), which additional Securities may increase the aggregate principal amount of, and may be consolidated and form a single series with, the outstanding Securities of such series; provided that any additional Securities that are so consolidated must be fungible with the outstanding Securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Issuer may also issue other securities under the Indenture as part of a separate series that have different terms from the Securities.
The Issuer may change the paying agent or registrar without prior notice to the Holders of the Securities, and the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries may act as paying agent or registrar.
A Holder of Securities issued in definitive form may transfer or exchange Securities in accordance with the Indenture. As described in the legend on the face of this global security, interest payments on such Securities issued in definitive form will be subject to Japanese income taxation unless the Holder establishes the matters set forth therein. Such legend concerning Japanese taxation shall also be included on the face of any Securities issued in definitive form. The registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents, and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuer will treat the registered Holder of a Security as the owner of that Security for all purposes, except as described above.
If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be affected (voting as a class). The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Issuer in any place where the principal of and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the security registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.
Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
This Security shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except with respect to its authorization and execution by the Issuer and other matters required to be governed by the laws of Japan.
All capitalized terms used but not defined in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

We have acted as Japanese counsel to ORIX Corporation, a joint stock corporation (kabushiki kaisha) formed under the laws of Japan (the Company), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form F-3 which was filed by the Company on July 7, 2020 (File No. 333- 239720, the Registration Statement) under the United States Securities Act of 1933 as amended (the 1933 Act), with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) in relation to the registration of US$500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.000% senior notes due 2032 (the Securities) issued by the Company pursuant to an indenture between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon (the Trustee) dated as of July 18, 2017 (the Indenture). The Company has asked us to furnish our opinion as an exhibit to a report on Form 6-K furnished by the Company on the date hereof and incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement.
For such purpose, we have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of documents mentioned above, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of rendering this opinion.
In such examination, without independent investigation, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures and seal impressions, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, photostatic, reproduced or conformed copies, the authenticity of the originals of such documents and the accuracy and completeness of the statements regarding matters of fact in the certificates, records, agreements, instruments and documents that we have examined.
Based upon the foregoing and subject to the qualifications and limitations stated herein, we are of the opinion that, assuming that the Securities will constitute legally valid and binding obligations of the Company under their governing law, the Securities will constitute legally valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, civil rehabilitation, reorganization, or other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors rights generally.
The foregoing opinion is limited to the laws of Japan, and we express no opinion as to the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to a report on Form 6-K furnished by the Company on the date hereof and its incorporation by reference into the Registration Statement and to the reference to our name under the caption Legal Matters in the Registration Statement and the prospectus constituting a part thereof and any amendments thereto.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
ORIX Corporation, a joint stock corporation (kabushiki kaisha) formed under the laws of Japan (the Company) has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Registration Statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-239720) (the Registration Statement) and the related Prospectus (the Prospectus) for the purpose of registering under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), certain securities, including $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Companys 4.000% Notes due 2032 (the Securities). The Securities are to be issued pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture (the Indenture), dated as of July 18, 2017, between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the Trustee). The Securities are to be sold pursuant to the Purchase Agreement dated April 6, 2022 (the Purchase Agreement) among the Company and the several underwriters names therein (the Underwriters).
We, as your counsel, have examined originals or copies of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of rendering this opinion.
In rendering the opinion expressed herein, we have, without independent inquiry or investigation, assumed that (i) all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic and complete, (ii) all documents submitted to us as copies conform to authentic, complete originals, (iii) all signatures on all documents that we reviewed are genuine, (iv) all natural persons executing documents had and have the legal capacity to do so, (v) all statements in certificates of public officials and officers of the Company that we reviewed were and are accurate and (vi) all representations made by the Company as to matters of fact in the documents that we reviewed were and are accurate.
Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the additional assumptions and qualifications set forth below, we advise you that, in our opinion, assuming the Securities have been duly executed and authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and delivered to and paid for by the Underwriters pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Securities will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability and may be subject to possible judicial or regulatory actions giving effect to foreign governmental actions or foreign laws affecting creditors rights, provided that we express no opinion as to the validity, legally binding effect or enforceability of any provision that permits holders to collect any portion of stated principal amount upon acceleration of the Securities to the extent determined to constitute unearned interest.
April 13, 2022 | 1 |
In connection with the opinion expressed above, we have assumed that the Company is validly existing as a joint stock corporation under the laws of Japan. In addition, we have assumed that the Indenture and the Securities (collectively, the Documents) are valid, binding and enforceable agreements of each party thereto (other than as expressly covered above in respect of the Company). We have also assumed that the execution, delivery and performance by each party to each document to which it is a party (a) are within its corporate powers, (b) do not contravene, or constitute a default under, the certificate of incorporation or bylaws or other constitutive documents of such party, (c) require no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any governmental body, agency or official and (d) do not contravene, or constitute a default under, any provision of applicable law, public policy or regulation or any judgment, injunction, order or decree or any agreement or other instrument binding upon such party.
We are members of the Bar of the State of New York and the foregoing opinion is limited to the laws of the State of New York and the federal laws of the United States, except that we express no opinion as to any law, rule or regulation that is applicable to the Company, the Documents or such transactions solely because such law, rule or regulation is part of a regulatory regime applicable to any party to any of the Documents or any of its affiliates due to the specific assets or business of such party or such affiliate. Insofar as the foregoing opinion involves matters governed by the laws of Japan, we have relied, without independent inquiry or investigation, on the opinion of Mitsui Company to be filed as an exhibit to a report on Form 6-K to be filed by the Company on the date hereof.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to a report on Form 6-K to be filed by the Company on the date hereof and its incorporation by reference into the Registration Statement and further consent to the reference to our name under the caption Legal Matters in the prospectus supplement which is a part of the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP
