Up to 3,000,000 shares in aggregate
In the event of stock split or consolidation, the number of shares to be issued upon the exercise of the Options unexercised on the date of the event (the “Option Shares”) shall be adjusted using the following formula and any fractions less than one (1) share resulting from such adjustment shall be disregarded.
| Number of Shares after Adjustment | = | Number of Shares before Adjustment |
x | Split/Consolidation Ratio |
In addition, if the adjustment of number of shares becomes necessary in the event of merger or split-off of the Company, etc, then the Company may also adjust the number of the Option Shares.
| (3) | Aggregate number of the Options to be issued: |

| (4) | Issue price of each Option: |
No consideration
| (5) | Paid-in-price upon the exercise of each Option: |
The paid-in-price upon the exercise of the Options (the “Exercise Price”) shall be the closing price of the ordinary shares of the Company established through regular transactions reported by the Tokyo Stock Exchange on the date when the Options will be issued or the immediately preceding date of such date if there is no trading on such date; provided, however, that if such Exercise Price is less than the average price (any fractions less than one (1) yen shall be rounded up) of the daily closing prices of the shares of the Company (including quotations) established through regular transactions and reported by the Tokyo Stock Exchange for a period of thirty (30) trading days (excluding any day on which a closing price is not reported) commencing on the forty fifth (45th) day prior to the immediately following date when the Option will be issued, then the Exercise Price shall be such average price.
In the event of stock split or consolidation, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted using the following formula and any fractions less than one (1) yen resulting from such adjustment shall be rounded up.
