6.2 SET-OFF

 

(1) When the Borrower is required to perform its obligations to the Lender under this Agreement upon their due date, upon acceleration or otherwise, (a) the Lender may set off the receivables it has against the Borrower under this Agreement against its deposit obligations or other obligations owed to the Borrower (including obligations owed under any insurance contract) whether or not such obligations are due and payable, and (b) the Lender may also omit giving prior notice and following established procedures, may receive the refund of the deposited amount on behalf of the Borrower, and apply this amount to the payment of obligations. (Provided, however, that set-offs may be made, if intended to invoke any of the Lender’s claim against the Borrower other than those pursuant to this Agreement against any deposit payables in respect of Settlement Account, for only the amount that exceeds the amount of the obligation owed by the Borrower to the Lender pursuant to this Agreement.) The interest, Break Funding Cost and default interest and others for the receivables and obligations involved in such a set-off or application to payment shall be calculated up to the date of such calculation, and in such calculation, the interest rate and default interest rate shall be in accordance with each relevant agreement, or, in case where there is no such agreement, shall be reasonably determined by the Lender within the extent that is normal in the Japanese financial market; and the foreign exchange rate at the time such calculation is made, as reasonably determined by the Lender, shall be applied. If the amount to be set off or applied to payment is not sufficient to extinguish all of the Borrower’s obligations, the Lender may apply such set-off amount in the order and method it deems appropriate, and the Borrower shall not object to such application.

 

(2) The Borrower may set off deposit receivables or other receivables that it has against the Lender (limited in case (a) below to those that became due) against its obligations owed to the Lender under this Agreement, regardless of Clause (2), Article 6.1.

In case where set-off is made under this clause, the Borrower shall give a written set-off notice and immediately submit to the Lender the receivable certificates or the deposit receivables or other receivables being set off and the passbook. 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 in accordance with each relevant agreement (provided, however, that in case where there is no such agreement, shall be reasonably determined by the Lender within the extent that is normal in the Japanese financial market); and the foreign exchange rate at the time such calculation is made, as reasonably determined by the Lender, shall be applied, excluding cases where set-off is made under (b) of this clause, in which cases the Borrower is not required to pay any Break Funding Costs. If the Borrower’s receivables to be set-off are not sufficient to extinguish all of its obligations, 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 the Lender, and the Borrower shall not object to such application.

 

(3) If a set-off is performed pursuant to Clauses (1) and (2) above, the Borrower shall promptly notify the Lender of the details thereof in writing. If the Lender incurs any Loss due to delay of such notice without any reasonable ground, the Borrower shall bear such Loss.

(3) If the Borrower makes a Prepayment on the Interest Payment Date pursuant to Clauses (1) and (2) of this Article, the Borrower shall pay on the Desired Prepayment Date the aggregate amount of the principal amount of the Individual Loan to be prepaid and interest thereon to be paid on the Desired Prepayment Date.

The Borrower shall pay the total of the principal, the Accrued Interest and the Break Funding Cost in respect of the Individual Loan to be prepaid on the Desired Prepayment Date.

 

(5) The Borrower shall immediately report to the Lender regarding a case where any amendment or suspension, which is likely to have a material adverse effect on the rights of the Lender, is expected to take place with respect to the procedure of the Acquisition. In this case, where the Lender makes a request for a Prepayment under a condition which is reasonable and practicably possible in light of the use of proceeds of the Individual Loan after consulting in good faith with the Borrower, a Prepayment for the principal of the Individual Loan shall be made. The provisions of Clauses (3) and (4) shall be applied mutatis mutandis to such Prepayment.
