                3 of the Agreement on Grant of Subscription Rights of New Shares
                (hereinafter the "issue price") shall be adjusted using the
                following calculation formula, and any fractions smaller than
                one yen resulting from the adjustment shall be rounded off.

                        Adjusted issue price per share = Unadjusted issue price
                        per share multiplied by 1/ratio of (stock split or
                        reverse stock split)

        3)      The adjustments as specified under 1) and 2) above shall be
                applicable from the next day and thereafter following the
                scheduled date of rights offering for the stock split or from
                the next day and thereafter following the expiration of a
                certain period as provided for under Article 215, Paragraph 1 of
                the Commercial Code (which will apply to Article 220, mutatis
                mutandis), if the date of rights offering for the stock split is
                not scheduled or in the case of reverse stock split. However,
                any adjustments in the case of stock split for dividend payments
                shall be made in the manner as may be otherwise specified by A.

2.      When A issues new shares (except for the cases of conversion of
        convertible bonds and the exercise of the rights under the subscription
        certificate of new shares and Subscription Rights pursuant to Article
        280-19 of the Commercial Code) at a price below the market value
        (however, prior to the public offering of A's shares, this provision
        shall apply by substituting the market price with the unadjusted issue
        price at the time), adjustment shall be made as follows:

        1)      Of the number of shares granted, unexercised number of shares
                shall be adjusted using the following calculation formula and
                any fractions smaller than one share resulting from the
                adjustment shall be omitted.

                      Adjusted number of shares granted = (Unadjusted number of
                      shares granted X Unadjusted issue price)/Adjusted issue
                      price

        2)      The issue price shall be adjusted using the following
                calculation formula and any fractions smaller than one yen shall
                be rounded off.

                        Adjusted issue price = Unadjusted issue price multiplied
                        by [Number of issued shares + (Number of newly issued
                        shares X Price paid per share)/Market price]/(Number of
                        issued shares + Number of newly issued shares)

                a)      The "Market Price" used in the calculation formula shall
                        be, when A's shares are registered with the Japan
                        Securities Dealers Association, the average price of the

                        markets, it shall be the average price of the daily
                        closing price of regular transaction at the stock market
                        during the above 30 trading days (except for the day
                        when no trading is made). Any fraction less than one yen
                        shall be rounded up.

                b)      "Number of issued shares" to be used in the calculation
                        formula shall be the number of issued shares on the date
                        of allotment to the shareholders if there is such date,
                        or the date one month prior to "Application date of
                        adjustment." in all other cases, as stipulated under 3)
                        below.

        3)      The adjustment stipulated under 1) and 2) shall be applicable
                from the next day following the payment deadline (if there is a
                date for shareholders allotment, then the date next day
                following such date).

3.      When A issues securities convertible to stock or securities with a right
        to subscribe new shares at a price below the market value (however,
        prior to the public offering of A's shares, this provision shall apply
        by substituting the market price with the unadjusted issue price at the
        time), the number of shares granted and the issue price shall be
        adjusted properly according to the previous provision.

4.      When A merges with any other company or a new company incorporated for
        consolidation, or implements a stock swap or stock transfer, or if any
        other adjustments become necessary, A may make reasonable adjustments as
        needed to the number of shares granted, issued price, exercise period
        and others, as well as limit the exercise of the right and invalidate
        unexercised subscription rights of new shares.
