The Desired Drawdown Amount shall be
no less than 100 million yen and in increments of 100 million yen,
and, at the same time, an amount where the Lending Obligation A of
each Lender A does not exceed the Unused Commitment Amount A in
relation to the relevant Lender A as of the Desired Drawdown Date
A.
|
|

The date that
the Borrower desires the drawdown (the “Desired Drawdown Date
A”):

The Repayment Date shall be a day
corresponding to one (1) month, two (2) months, three (3) months,
six (6) months, or twelve (12) months after the Desired Drawdown
Date A (provided, however, that if such corresponding day falls on

the following month, the immediately preceding Business Day shall
be the Repayment Date), but may not be after April 24,
2006.
|
6.2
|
The indication
of intention to apply for a drawdown pursuant to Clause 6.1 shall
be effective with respect to All Lenders A upon the Agent receiving

|
If a Lender A
receives an application for a drawdown in accordance with Clause 6
and does not give notice pursuant to Clause 8.1, and all conditions
set forth in Clause 5 are satisfied at the time of the drawdown of
the Individual Loan A, the Lender A shall remit the Individual Loan
A Amount to the Agent’s Account by 11 a.m. on the Desired
Drawdown Date A. The Individual Loan A shall be deemed to have been
made by that Lender A as of the time that the Agent remits such
money to the Borrower’s Settlement Account from the
Agent’s Account. Provided, however, that with respect to the
drawdown of the Individual Loan A in relation to a Refinancing Loan
A, the Lender A shall offset (a) the principal amount of the
Outstanding Individual Loan A Money in relation to the Refinanced
Loan A as of the Desired Drawdown Date A, and (b) the Individual
Loan A Amount in relation to the Refinancing Loan A, and according
to the result thereof, shall treat the drawdown of such Individual
Loan A as follows.

Amount in relation to the Refinancing Loan A and the amount
equivalent to the principal of the Outstanding Individual Loan A
Money in relation to the Refinanced Loan A by 11 a.m. on the
Desired Drawdown Date A. The Individual Loan A in relation to the
Refinancing Loan A shall be deemed to have been made in the full
Individual Loan A Amount in relation to the Refinancing Loan A as
of the time that the Agent transfers such money to the
Borrower’s Settlement Account after withdrawing it from the
Agent’s Account. Provided, however, that even if the Lender A
remits the amount of the difference between the Individual Loan A
Amount and the amount equivalent to the principal of the
Outstanding Individual Loan A Money to the Borrower’s
Settlement Account, if the interest on the Refinanced Loan A is not
paid by the Due Time, the Individual Loan A in relation to the
Refinancing Loan A shall be deemed not to have been
made.
|
|
(ii)
|
If the
Individual Loan A Amount in relation to the Refinancing Loan A is
less than or equal to the amount equivalent to the principal of the
Outstanding Individual Loan A Money in relation to the Refinanced
Loan A:
|
If the Lender A receives an
application for a drawdown in accordance with Clause 6 and does not
give notice pursuant to Clause 8.1, and all conditions
14
(Translation)
set forth in each item of Clause 5
are satisfied, the Individual Loan A in relation to the Refinancing
Loan A shall be deemed to have been made in the full Individual
Loan A Amount in relation to the Refinancing Loan A as of the Due
Time of the Refinanced Loan A. Provided, however, that if the
Borrower does not pay the full amount of the difference between the
Outstanding Individual Loan A Amount in relation to the Refinanced
Loan A and the Individual Loan A Amount and the interest accrued on
the Refinanced Loan A by the Due Time, the Individual Loan A in
relation to the Refinancing Loan A shall be deemed not to have been
made.
|
7.2
|
When the Loan A
is made pursuant to Clause 7.1, the Borrower shall immediately send
to the Agent a written receipt describing the amount of the Loan A
and the specifics of the Individual Loan A. The Agent shall, upon
receiving such receipt, promptly provide a copy thereof to the
Lender A who made the Individual Loan A. The Agent shall retain the
original receipt on behalf of that Lender A until the Outstanding
Individual Loan A Money in relation to such Individual Loan A is
repaid in full.
|
|
7.3
|
If notice under
Clause 8.1 is not given, the Agent may make the Individual Loan A
on behalf of a Lender A through Temporary Advancement (provided,
however, that the Agent shall be under no obligation to make such
Temporary Advancement). After such Temporary Advancement, the
relevant Lender A shall remit the full equivalent amount of the
Individual Loan A Money to the Agent’s Account by 11 a.m. on
the Desired Drawdown Date A, and if such remittance is not
completed by that time, the Lender A shall, promptly upon the
Agent’s request, pay to the Agent the Temporary Advancement
Costs required in making such Temporary Advancement.

immediately preceding the same Desired Drawdown Date A, that the
Fixed Trust Property Value on the most recent Trustee’s
Regular Report or Trustee’s Extraordinary Report made by 11
a.m. on the Business Day immediately preceding that Desired
Drawdown Date A cannot be maintained at an amount that is not less
than the Total Outstanding Balance A after making such Loan A (the
date on which such fact is found shall hereinafter be referred to
as the “Discovery Date”), the Individual Loan A shall
be made in the maximum amount (the “Reduced Drawdown
Amount”) to the extent that such Fixed Trust Property Value
can be maintained at an amount that is not less than the Total
Outstanding Balance A after making such Loan A, provided that such
amount is not less than 100 million yen and in increments of 100
million yen, and the loan amount in relation to the Lending
Obligation A of each Lender A in this case shall be the amount
calculated as the Reduced Drawdown Amount multiplied by the
Commitment Ratio A of each Lender A (making such loan in the amount
less than the Desired Drawdown Amount shall hereinafter be referred
to as the “Reduced Drawdown”). The Borrower shall be
responsible for any damages, losses or expenses incurred by the
Lender A or the Agent as a result of the Reduced
Drawdown.

7.5
|
The procedures
in relation to a Reduced Drawdown shall be as follows.

is not submitted during the Business Day immediately preceding the
Desired Drawdown Date A, the Lender A may elect not to make the
Reduced Drawdown.

if the Borrower
refuses the offer in the preceding item, the date that the offer is
refused; if the Agent does not receive notice from the Borrower of
its acceptance or refusal of the offer within two (2) Business Days
after the offer is made under the preceding item, the offer shall
be deemed to have been refused by the Borrower; and

for those cases
other than the cases of the preceding two items, the date
determined by the Borrower, the Defaulting Lender A and the Agent
upon consultation.

Exemption Period shall be the amount (fractions less than one yen
shall be rounded down) calculated as the total amount of the Unused
Commitment Amount A with respect to each Lender A on each day
during such Exemption Period, multiplied by the Commitment Fee A
Rate, and divided by 365.

If the Costs
Increased Lender A ceases to owe its Lending Obligations A pursuant
to the provisions of Clause 13.5, the Borrower shall not be
required to pay to such Costs Increased Lender A, with respect to
the Commitment Fee A in relation to the period after the
termination of this Agreement with respect to that Costs Increased
Lender A, the amount (fractions less than one yen shall be rounded
down) calculated as the total amount of the Unused Commitment
Amount A with respect to such Costs Increased Lender A on each day
during the period commencing on the day (inclusive) on which the
Costs Increased Lender A ceases to owe its Lending Obligations A
and ending on the Drawdown Application Period Final Date
(inclusive), multiplied by the Commitment Fee A Rate, and divided
by 365.

A pursuant to the provisions of Clause 34, the Borrower shall not
be required to pay to that Lender A, with respect to the Commitment
Fee A in relation to the period after the termination of this

than one yen shall be rounded down) calculated as the total amount
of the Unused Commitment Amount A with respect to each Lender A on
each day during the period from the day (inclusive) of termination
of this Agreement with respect to that Lender A and ending on the
Drawdown Period Termination Date (inclusive) (provided that the
related provisions of this Agreement shall remain effective with
respect to the Lender A after the termination of this Agreement to
the extent necessary in calculating the Commitment Fee A that is
not required to be paid pursuant to this Clause 11.5; provided
further, that with respect to the day repayment is made in relation
to an Individual Loan A, the Unused Commitment Amount A after such
repayment shall be used as the basis for such calculation),
multiplied by the Commitment Fee A Rate, and divided by
365.
|
|
11.6
|
In calculating
the Commitment Fee A pursuant to Clause 11.1, divisions shall be
done at the end of the calculation, and fractions less than one yen
shall be rounded down.
