The first interest payment date is October 31, 2018, and thereafter the interest payment date will be the last day of every month (except for September 30, 2024) until and including the repayment date. An interest payment date that falls on a non-business day will be moved to the following business day or to the preceding business day if the following business day carries over to the next month.

  • 4. The base interest rate refers to the Japanese yen Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate ("TIBOR") for one-month deposits announced by the JBA TIBOR Association (General Incorporated Association) two business days before the interest payment date for the immediately preceding interest calculation period. The base interest rate will be revised on each interest payment date. However, if there is no corresponding to the interest calculation period of such deposits, the base interest rate defined in the loan agreements will be applied according to the terms and conditions of the loan agreements.

    Please refer to the JBA TIBOR Association's website (http://www.jbatibor.or.jp/english/) for information about changes in the JBA Japanese yen TIBOR.

  • 5. The repayment date will be the following business day if the date falls on a non-business day, unless such day falls within the following month, in which case the repayment date will be the preceding business day.

  • 6. We may repay the Borrowing either in whole or in part prior to the maturity date if certain requirements, including our advance written notice, are met.

  • II. Rationale:
