MAKING OF LOANS B

 

7.1

If a Lender B 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 B, the Lender B shall remit the Individual Loan B Amount to the Agent’s Account by 11 a.m. on the Desired Drawdown Date B. The Individual Loan B shall be deemed to have been made by that Lender B 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 B in relation to a Refinancing Loan B, the Lender B shall offset (a) the principal amount of the Outstanding Individual Loan B Money in relation to the Refinanced Loan B as of the Desired Drawdown Date B, and (b) the Individual Loan B Amount in relation to the Refinancing Loan B, and according to the result thereof, shall treat the drawdown of such Individual Loan B as follows.

 

 

(i)

If the Individual Loan B Amount in relation to the Refinancing Loan B exceeds the amount equivalent to the principal of the Outstanding Individual Loan B Money in relation to the Refinanced Loan B:

 

 

    

If the Lender B 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 each item of Clause 5 are satisfied at the time of making the Individual Loan B, the Lender B shall remit to the Agent’s Account the amount of the difference between the Individual Loan B Amount in relation to the Refinancing Loan B and the amount equivalent to the principal of the Outstanding Individual Loan B Money in relation to the Refinanced Loan B by 11 a.m. on the Desired Drawdown Date B. The Individual Loan B in

 

14


(Translation)

 

 

    

relation to the Refinancing Loan B shall be deemed to have been made in the full Individual Loan B Amount in relation to the Refinancing Loan B 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 B remits the amount of the difference between the Individual Loan B Amount and the amount equivalent to the principal of the Outstanding Individual Loan B Money to the Borrower’s Settlement Account, if the interest on the Refinanced Loan B is not paid by the Due Time, the Individual Loan B in relation to the Refinancing Loan B shall be deemed not to have been made.

 

 

(ii)

If the Individual Loan B Amount in relation to the Refinancing Loan B is less than or equal to the amount equivalent to the principal of the Outstanding Individual Loan B Money in relation to the Refinanced Loan B:

 

 

    

If the Lender B 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 each item of Clause 5 are satisfied, the Individual Loan B in relation to the Refinancing Loan B shall be deemed to have been made in the full Individual Loan B Amount in relation to the Refinancing Loan B as of the Due Time of the Refinanced Loan B. Provided, however, that if the Borrower does not pay the full amount of the difference between the Outstanding Individual Loan B Amount in relation to the Refinanced Loan B and the Individual Loan B Amount and the interest accrued on the Refinanced Loan B by the Due Time, the Individual Loan B in relation to the Refinancing Loan B shall be deemed not to have been made.

 

7.2

When the Loan B is made pursuant to Clause 7.1, the Borrower shall immediately send to the Agent a written receipt describing the amount of the Loan B and the specifics of the Individual Loan B. The Agent shall, upon receiving such receipt, promptly provide a copy thereof to the Lender B who made the Individual Loan B. The Agent shall retain the original receipt on behalf of that Lender B until the Outstanding Individual Loan B Money in relation to such Individual Loan B is repaid in full.

 

7.3

If notice under Clause 8.1 is not given, the Agent may make the Individual Loan B on behalf of a Lender B 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 B shall remit the full equivalent amount of the Individual Loan B Money to the Agent’s Account by 11 a.m. on the Desired Drawdown Date B, and if such remittance is not completed by that time, the Lender B shall, promptly upon the Agent’s request, pay to the Agent the Temporary Advancement Costs required in making such Temporary Advancement.

 

7.4

If it is found, on or after 10 a.m. on the third (3rd) Business Day prior to the Desired Drawdown Date B, and before 11 a.m. on the Business Day immediately preceding the same Desired Drawdown Date B, that (i) the Fixed Trust Property Value on the most recent Trustee’s Regular Report or the Trustee’s Extraordinary Report made by 11 a.m. on the Business Day immediately preceding that Desired Drawdown Date B cannot be maintained at an amount that is not less than the Total Outstanding Balance A as of the Desired Drawdown Date B, or (ii) the Counter-Performed Trust Receivables Amount

The Borrower shall be responsible for any damages, losses or expenses incurred by the Lender B or the Agent as a result of the Reduced Drawdown.

Provided, however, that if, notwithstanding the satisfaction of all the conditions under Clause 5, such notice is given and the Individual Loan B is not made, the Non-Drawdown Lender B shall not be released from liabilities arising from a breach of its Lending Obligations B.

 

8.2

The Borrower shall be responsible for any damages, losses or expenses incurred by the Non-Drawdown Lender B or the Agent as a result of Non-Drawdown Lender B not being able to make the Individual Loan B.

18


(Translation)

 

    

provided further, that with respect to the day repayment is made in relation to an Individual Loan B, the Unused Commitment Amount B after such repayment shall be used as the basis for such calculation), multiplied by the Commitment Fee B Rate, and divided by 365.
