In addition, where the Lending Obligation has been cancelled for all Lenders, prior to the repayment of all amounts due and payable under this Agreement the Participation Ratio for each Lender for such indemnity shall be equivalent to its pro rata share of the Total Loan Balance with respect to the principal portion of the Outstanding Individual Loan Amount with respect to such Lender, and if any of the Lenders cannot perform the indemnity for which it is liable, the Participation Ratio of the Lender acting as the Agent shall be figured by dividing the Participation Ratio of the Lender acting as the Agent by the aggregate of the Participation Ratios of the Lenders excluding such non-indemnifying Lender).

The Agent may engage in commonly accepted banking transactions with the Borrower outside the scope of this Agreement. The Agent shall not be required to disclose to other Lenders any information relating to the Borrower obtained through transactions outside the scope of this Agreement, nor shall the Agent be required to distribute to other Lenders any amount it has received from the Borrower through transactions with the Borrower outside the scope of this Agreement (any information that the Agent has received from the Borrower shall be, unless expressly identified as being made pursuant to this Agreement, deemed obtained in relation to the transactions outside the scope of this Agreement.)

 

(7)

In the case where the Agent is also acting as a Lender, in the calculation of amounts to be distributed to each Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, the amounts to be distributed to each Lender other than the Agent shall be determined by discarding any amount less than one Yen (¥1), and the

28


 

amount remaining after deduction of the amounts distributed to other Lenders from the aggregate distribution amounts shall be the amounts to be distributed to the Lender who is also acting as the Agent.

 

(8)
