	  	 Provisions


	Clause 34 (iii)	  	The Lender A may, by giving a prior written notice to the Borrower through the Agent on or before ten (10) Business Days prior to each Final Date of Commitment Fee A Calculation Period
(excluding the last Commitment Fee A Calculation Period) (provided, however, that if that day falls on a day other than a Business Day, the following Business Day will be the Final Date of Commitment Fee A Calculation Period, and this applies in
this Clause with respect to the definition of the “Final Date of Commitment Fee Calculation Period”), reduce a part of, or extinguish all of, the Commitment Amount A as of the day immediately following the applicable Final Date of
Commitment Fee A Calculation Period even if the debts of the Borrower have not become immediately due and payable pursuant to Clause 24; provided, however, that the reduction or extinguishment may only be effected to the extent that the Commitment
Amount A relating to each Lender A does not fall below the principal amount of the Outstanding Individual Loan A Money relating to that Lender A,

	 	  	and provided further, that the reduction of a part of, or extinguishment of all of, the Commitment Amount A will not affect the existing Loan A unless approved in writing by the Borrower. The
Lender A and the Agent may give notice under this Item when: (a) All Lenders A agree in writing, in the case that the Commitment Ratio A of each Lender A is to change as a result of the reduction of a part of the Commitment Amount A; or (b) the
Majority Lenders A agree in writing, in the cases other than that as described in (a) above, and if a part of the Commitment Amount A is reduced pursuant to this Item, the amount of reduction in the Commitment Amount A relating to each Lender A
shall be as specified in the notice given by the Agent.
		
	Clause 34 (iv)	  	The Borrower may, by giving a written notice to the Agent on or before ten (10) Business Days prior to each Final Date of Commitment Fee A Calculation Period (excluding the last Commitment
Fee A Calculation Period), reduce a part of, or extinguish all of, the Commitment Amount A as of the day immediately following the applicable Final Date of Commitment Fee A Calculation Period: provided, however, that the reduction or extinguishment
may only be effected to the extent that the Commitment Amount A relating to each Lender A does not fall below the principal amount of the Outstanding Individual Loan A Money relating to that Lender A, and provided further that the reduction of a
part of, or extinguishment of all of, the Commitment Amount A will not affect the existing Loan A unless approved in writing by the Agent and All Lenders A. When a part of the Commitment Amount A is reduced pursuant to this Item, the amount of
reduction in the Commitment Amount A relating to each Lender A shall be determined in accordance with the Commitment Ratio A of each Lender A at the time the Borrower’s notice is given unless All Lenders A agree in writing to the change of the
Commitment Ratio A of that Lender A.
		
	Clause 34 (v)	  	If a part of the Commitment Amount A is reduced pursuant to Clause 34 (iii) or 34 (iv), the Commitment Ratio A of each Lender A after the reduction shall be revised in accordance with the
proportion of the revised Commitment Amount A of each Lender A to the revised Commitment Amount A. If all of the Commitment Amount A is extinguished pursuant to Clause 34 (iii) or 34 (iv), this Agreement will terminate (provided, however, that until
the Borrower completes the performance of all obligations it has under this Agreement, the relevant provisions of this Agreement regarding the performance of those obligations will remain in full force and effect.)

  

	2.	EFFECTIVENESS OF THE ORIGINAL LOAN AGREEMENT 

  
 Except for the matters provided for in the preceding Clause 1, the Clauses in the Original Loan Agreement will remain effective.
