Article 4(1)If a counterparty to specified financial transactions with a person that has become subject to an order commencing reorganization proceedings (limited to a financial institution or counterparty to a financial institution that had been carrying out specified financial transactions pursuant to a master agreement that includes a close-out netting provision; hereinafter the same applies in this Article) comes to hold a single claim pursuant to the provisions of the preceding Article (hereinafter referred to as a "claim after close-out netting" in this Article), and that counterparty holds a security right associated with the claim after close-out netting under a contract that is meant to establish a security right and that the person subject to the order commencing reorganization proceedings and the counterparty have entered into prior to the filing of the petition for the commencement of reorganization proceedings (such a contract is limited to one with a clause stipulating that if a petition for commencement of reorganization proceedings is filed against either party to specified financial transactions under a master agreement, the property that is the subject of the security right may be vested in the security right holder as payment of a debt), the property that is the subject of the security right (limited to the property specified by Cabinet Office Order such as securities to be deposited by a party engaged in specified financial transactions to ensure the performance of obligations to the counterparty; hereinafter referred to as "property subject to close-out netting" in this Article) vests in the counterparty at the time the petition for the commencement of reorganization proceedings is filed.

２前項の場合において、当該相手方に帰属する一括清算対象財産の評価額（内閣府令で定めるところにより算出した額をいう。次項において同じ。）が一括清算後債権の額を超えるときは、当該相手方は、当該更生手続開始の決定がされた者に対して、その超える額に相当する金銭を遅滞なく支払わなければならない。ただし、当該一括清算対象財産の一部をもって、当該金銭の全部又は一部に代えることができる。

(2)In the case referred to in the preceding paragraph, if the value of the property subject to close-out netting that vests in the counterparty (meaning the value calculated pursuant to Cabinet Office Order; the same applies in the following paragraph) exceeds the amount of the claim after close-out netting, the counterparty must pay an amount of money equivalent to the amount in excess without delay to the person subject to the order commencing reorganization proceedings; provided, however, that part of the property subject to close-out netting may be substituted for all or part of that money.

３第一項の規定により一括清算対象財産が更生手続開始の決定がされた者の相手方に帰属するときは、一括清算対象財産の評価額（その額が一括清算後債権の額を超えるときは、一括清算後債権の額）を一括清算後債権の額から控除するものとする。

(3)If property subject to close-out netting vests in the counterparty of a person subject to an order commencing reorganization proceedings pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (1), the value of the property subject to close-out netting (or the amount of the claim after close-out netting, if that value exceeds the amount of that claim after close-out netting) is to be deducted from the amount of the claim after close-out netting.

４前三項（第二項ただし書を除く。）の規定は、更生手続開始の決定がされた者とその特定金融取引の相手方との間において、更生手続開始の申立て前に担保権の設定を目的とする契約（その契約条項中において、基本契約書に基づき特定金融取引を行っている当事者の一方に更生手続開始の申立てがあった場合は、担保権者に担保権の目的である財産を処分させることができることを約定しているものに限る。）が締結されている場合に準用する。この場合において、第一項中「当該更生手続開始の申立てがあった時」とあるのは「当該相手方が更生手続開始の申立て以後更生手続開始前に第三者に譲渡した時」と、「当該相手方に」とあるのは「当該第三者に」と、第二項中「当該相手方に」とあるのは「当該第三者に」と、「評価額（内閣府令で定めるところにより算出した額をいう」とあるのは「譲渡価額（その額が内閣府令で定めるところにより算出した評価額に照らして不当に低いときは、当該評価額」と、前項中「更生手続開始の決定がされた者の相手方」とあるのは「第三者」と、「評価額」とあるのは「譲渡価額」と読み替えるものとする。

(4)The provisions of the preceding three paragraphs (excluding the proviso to paragraph (2)) apply mutatis mutandis if the person subject to an order commencing reorganization proceedings and its counterparty to specified financial transactions have entered into a contract that is meant to establish a security right prior to the filing of the petition for the commencement of reorganization proceedings (such contract is limited to a contract with a clause stipulating that if a petition for the commencement of reorganization proceedings is filed against either party to specified financial transactions under a master agreement, the security right holder is entitled to dispose of the property that is the subject of the security right).In this case: in paragraph (1), the phrase "vests in the counterparty at the time the petition for the commencement of reorganization proceedings is filed" is deemed to be replaced with "vests in a third party at the time the counterparty transfers that property to that third party after the petition for the commencement of reorganization proceedings is filed and before the reorganization proceedings commence"; in paragraph (2), the phrase "vests in the counterparty" is deemed to be replaced with "vests in the third party" and the phrase "the value of...(meaning the value calculated pursuant to Cabinet Office Order" is deemed to be replaced with "the transfer value...(or the value calculated pursuant to Cabinet Office Order, if the transfer value is unjustifiably low in light of the value so calculated)"; and in the preceding paragraph, the phrase "the counterparty of a person subject to an order commencing reorganization proceedings" is deemed to be replaced with "the third party" and the term "value" is deemed to be replaced with "transfer value".
