liable for the face value of such bills and notes.

Yen). The Liabilities include, without limitation, interest accruing after the
commencement of a proceeding under bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws of any
jurisdiction at the rate or rates provided in the Transaction Documents. This
Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection only. The Bank shall not
be required to exhaust any right or remedy or take any action against the
Counterparty or any other person or entity or any collateral. The Guarantor
agrees that, as between the Guarantor and the Bank, the Liabilities may be
declared to be due and payable for the purposes of this Guaranty,
notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition that may prevent,
delay or vitiate any declaration as regards the Counterparty and that in the
event of a declaration or attempted declaration, the Liabilities shall
immediately become due and payable by the Guarantor for the purposes of the
Guaranty.
SECTION 2. GUARANTY ABSOLUTE. The Guarantor guarantees that the
Liabilities shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the
Transactions regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in
effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Bank
with respect thereto. The liability of the Guarantor under this Guaranty is
absolute and
1
<PAGE>
unconditional irrespective of: (a) any change in the time, manner or place of
payment, of or in any terms of, all or any of the Transaction Documents or
Liabilities, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure
from any of the terms of any Transaction Document or Liability; (b) any
release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any other
guaranty or support document, or any exchange, release or nonperfection of any
security or collateral, for all or any of the Transaction Documents or
Liabilities; (c) any present or future law, regulation or order of any
jurisdiction (whether of right or in fact) or of any agency thereof purporting
to reduce, amend, restructure or otherwise affect any term of any Transaction
Document or Liability; (d) without being limited by the foregoing, any lack of
validity or enforceability of any Transaction Document or Liability or any
failure to receive any governmental approval relating thereto; (e) any other
defense whatsoever that might constitute a defense available to, or discharge
of, the Counterparty or a guarantor (including, without limitation, the
bankruptcy or, reorganization of the Counterparty). If any guarantor (including
the Guarantor) has provided or hereafter provides you with any guaranty or
security for the transactions between the Bank and the Counterparty, other than
this Guaranty, such guaranty or security shall not be changed, modified or
affected in any way whatsoever by this Guaranty. In furtherance and not in
limitation of the foregoing, if any guarantor has provided or hereafter
provides the Bank with any other guaranty or security with a limitation in
amount, this Guaranty shall be in addition to and shall not be reduced by such
limit.
SECTION 3. GUARANTY IRREVOCABLE. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty
and shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all
Liabilities and other amounts payable under this Guaranty and until the
Transactions are no longer in effect.
SECTION 4. REINSTATEMENT. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or
be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the
Liabilities is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Bank on the
insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Counterparty or otherwise, all
as though the payment had not been made.
SECTION 5. SUBROGATION. The Guarantor shall not exercise any rights that it
may acquire by way of subrogation, by any payment made under this Guaranty or
otherwise, until all the Liabilities have been paid in full and the Transactions
are no longer in effect. If any amount is paid to the Guarantor on account of
subrogation rights under this Guaranty at any time when all the Liabilities have
not been paid in full, the amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the
Bank and shall be promptly paid to the Bank to be credited and applied to the
Liabilities, whether matured or unmatured or absolute or contingent, in
accordance with the terms of the Transactions. If the Guarantor makes payment to
the Bank of all or any part of the Liabilities and all the Liabilities are paid
in full and the Transactions are not longer in effect, the Bank shall, at the
Guarantor's request, execute and deliver to the Guarantor appropriate documents,
without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence
the transfer by subrogation to the Guarantor of an interest in the Liabilities
resulting from the payment.
SECTION 6. SUBORDINATION. Without limiting the Bank's right under any other
agreement, any liabilities owed by the Counterparty to the Guarantor in
connection with any extension of credit or financial accommodation by the
Guarantor to or for the account of the Counterparty, including but not limited
to interest accruing at the agreed contract rate after the commencement of a
bankruptcy or similar proceeding, are hereby subordinated to the Liabilities,
and such liabilities of the Counterparty to the Guarantor, if the Bank so
requests, shall be collected, enforced and received by the Guarantor as trustee
for the Bank and shall be paid over to the Bank on account of the Liabilities
but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of the Guarantor
under the other provisions of the Guaranty.
SECTION 7. PAYMENTS GENERALLY. All payments by the Guarantor shall be made
in the manner, at the place and in the currency (the "Payment Currency")
required by the Transaction Documents and payment in the Payment Currency shall
be of the essence; provided, however,
2
<PAGE>
that (if the Payment Currency is other than Japanese Yen) the Guarantor may, at
its option (or, if for any reason whatsoever the Guarantor is unable to effect
payments in the foregoing manner, the Guarantor shall be obligated to) pay to
the Bank at its principal office the equivalent amount in Japanese Yen computed
at the selling rate chosen by the Bank, or most recently in effect on or prior
to the date the Liability becomes due, for cable transfers of the Payment
Currency to the place where the Liability is payable. The Guarantor's
obligation in respect of any sum due from it to the Bank hereunder shall,
notwithstanding any payment in a currency other than the Payment Currency, be
discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the
Bank of any sum in such other currency the Bank may in accordance with normal
banking procedures purchase the Payment Currency with such other currency: if
the aggregate amount of the Payment Currency so purchased is less than the sum
originally due to the Bank in the Payment Currency, the Guarantor agrees, as a
separate obligation, to indemnify the Bank against such loss.
SECTION 8. CERTAIN TAXES. (a) The Guarantor further agrees that all
payments to be made hereunder shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and
free and clear of, and without deduction for, any taxes, levies, imposts,
duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings or restrictions or conditions
of any nature whatsoever now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld
or assessed by any country or by any political subdivision or taxing authority
thereof or therein ("Taxes"), but excluding taxes imposed on income or capital
of the Bank by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under
the laws of which the Bank is organized, or in which its principal place of
business or lending office is located.
(b) If the Guarantor shall be required by law to withhold any Taxes from
any amounts payable to the bank hereunder, (i) the amounts so payable to the
Bank shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Bank (after
payment of all Taxes) the amounts payable hereunder in the full amounts so to
be paid, (ii) the Guarantor shall make such withholdings, and (iii) the
Guarantor shall pay the full amount withheld to the relevant tax or other
authority in accordance with applicable law. Whenever any Tax is paid by the
Guarantor, as promptly as possible thereafter the Guarantor shall send the Bank
an official receipt showing payment thereof, together with such additional
documentary evidence as may be required from time to time by the Bank.
(c) In addition, the Guarantor agrees to pay any present or future stamp
or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar
levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or form the execution,
delivery, registration, performance and enforcement of this Guaranty
(hereinafter referred to as "Other Taxes").
(d) The Guarantor will indemnify the bank for, and reimburse the Bank
promptly upon demand, the full amount of any Taxes or Other Taxes (including,
without limitation, any Taxes or other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on
amounts payable under this Section) paid by the bank (as the case may be), and
any liability (including penalties, interests and expenses) arising therefrom
or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were
correctly and legally asserted.
(e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the
Guarantor hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Guarantor contained
in this Section shall survive the payment in full of all amounts due on the
Transactions.
SECTION 9. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. (a) The Guarantor represents
and warrants that the execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty: (i)
has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action; (ii) does not
violate any agreement, instrument, law, regulation or order applicable to the
Guarantor or its charter or bylaws; (iii) to its best knowledge and belief does
not require the consent or approval of any person or entity, including but not
limited to any governmental authority, or any notice or filing or registration
of any kind; and (iv) is the legal,
3
<PAGE>
valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor enforceable against the Guarantor
in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that enforcement may be
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and other similar laws affecting
creditors' rights generally or by general principles of equity.
(b) The Guarantor is a corporation duly organized and validly existing
under the laws of the jurisdiction as heretofore mentioned, and has all
requisite corporate power and authority to conduct its business, to own its
properties and to execute and deliver, and perform all of its obligations under,
this Guaranty.
(c) There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the
knowledge of the Guarantor, threatened against or affecting the Guarantor before
any court, governmental agency or arbitrator, that may, in any one case or in
the aggregate, materially adversely affect the financial condition, operations,
properties or business of the Guarantor or the ability of the Guarantor to
perform its obligations under this Guaranty.
SECTION 10. COVENANTS. For so long as this Guaranty remains in effect,
the Guarantor will:
(a) Maintain ownership of the voting shares or other ownership interests
of the Counterparty at the ratio heretofore mentioned; and
(b) Furnish to the Bank, or cause the Counterparty to furnish to the
Bank, such information respecting the condition or operations, financial or
otherwise, of the Guarantor or the Counterparty, as the Bank may from time to
time reasonably request.
SECTION 11. REMEDIES GENERALLY. The remedies provided in this Guaranty
are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
SECTION 12. SETOFF. The Guarantor agrees that, in addition to (and
without limitation of) any right of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim the
Bank may otherwise have, the Bank shall be entitled, at its option, to offset
balances (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) held by it
for the account of the Guarantor at any of the Bank's offices, in Japanese Yen
or in any other currency, against any amount payable by the Guarantor under this
Guaranty that is not paid when due (regardless of whether such balances are then
due to the Guarantor), in which case it shall promptly notify the Guarantor
thereof; provided that the Bank's failure to give such notice shall not affect
the validity thereof. The Guarantor shall not set off its guaranty obligations
hereunder against any deposits or other credits of itself or the Counterparty
with the Bank.
SECTION 13. FORMALITIES. The Guarantor waives presentment, notice of
dishonor, protest, notice of acceptance of this Guaranty or incurrence of any
Liability and any other formality with respect to any of the Liabilities of
this Guaranty.
SECTION 14. AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. No amendment or waiver of any
provision of this Guaranty, nor consent to any departure by the Guarantor
therefrom, shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Bank,
and then the waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance
and for the specific purpose for which given. No failure on the part of the Bank
to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right under this Guaranty shall
operate as a waiver or preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right.
SECTION 15. EXPENSES. The Guarantor shall reimburse the Bank on demand
for all costs, expenses and charges, including without limitation fees and
charges of external legal counsel, for the Bank in connection with the
performance or enforcement of this Guaranty. The obligations of the Guarantor
under this Section shall survive the termination of this Guaranty.

SECTION 16. ASSIGNMENT. This Guaranty shall be binding on, and shall inure
to the benefit of the Guarantor, the Bank and their respective successors and
assigns, provided that the Guarantor may not assign or transfer its rights or
obligations under this Guaranty. Except to the extent restricted by the
relevant Transaction Documents, the Bank may assign, sell participations in or
otherwise transfer, with the approval of the Guarantor, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld, its rights with respect to the Transactions and the
Transaction Documents to any other person or entity and the other person or
entity shall then become vested with all the rights granted to the Bank in this
Guaranty or otherwise.
SECTION 17. CAPTIONS. The headings and captions in this Guaranty are for
convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation or construction of
this Guaranty.
SECTION 18. GOVERNING LAW, ETC. THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE
LAWS OF JAPAN. THE GUARANTOR CONSENTS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE
TOKYO DISTRICT COURT. THE GUARANTOR WAIVES ANY RIGHT THE GUARANTOR MAY HAVE TO
JURY TRIAL. TO THE EXTENT THAT THE GUARANTOR HAS OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY
IMMUNITY FROM JURISDICTION OR ANY COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER FROM
SERVICE OR NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION
OF A JUDGMENT, EXECUTION OR OTHERWISE), THE GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES
SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS GUARANTY.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Guarantor has caused this Guaranty to be executed
and delivered by its duly authorized officer.
