Amounts other than earnings per share ending in five hundred thousand yen or more are rounded up to the nearest million yen, and amounts ending in less than five hundred thousand yen are rounded down to the nearest million yen. | |

Proposal 1: Decrease in the Amount of the Legal Reserve
The shareholders are hereby requested to approve the decrease in the amount of the Company’s legal reserve pursuant to the provisions of Article 448(1) of the Company Law and the transfer of the entire amount by which its reserve is decreased to the earned surplus carried forward (Retained Earnings) section of the Company’s balance sheet. This will simplify the net asset section of the Company’s balance sheet and will result in a more clear and easy-to-understand balance sheet, because the Company’s statutory reserve will then still exceed the amount required to be recorded as statutory reserve under applicable laws and regulations. The shareholders are hereby requested to approve this reduction because the Company will maintain capital reserves which exceed the amount of stated capital even after the decrease in the amount of legal reserve.
The amount by which the legal reserve is decreased and the day on which the decrease in the amount of the legal reserve takes effect are as follows:
| 1. | The amount by which the legal reserve is to be decreased: |
Full amount of the legal reserve, equivalent to 2,220,000,000 Yen
It leads the legal reserve to be 0 Yen.
| 2. | The day on which the decrease in the amount of the legal reserve is to take effect: |
August 8, 2008

To further enhance the motivation of the employees of the Company (please refer to 2. below) and the directors and employees of the Subsidiaries etc. of the Company to achieve better business results and to boost further their morale, and to further increase corporate value of the Company, the Company wishes to issue stock acquisition rights as stock options to the persons to be allocated stock acquisition rights referred in 2 below, as summarized in 3 below.

The number of shares to be issued shall be 10 shares per unit of the stock acquisition rights.

In the event that there is a share split or a reverse share split, which becomes effective after the conclusion of this Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted in accordance with the following formula, and any fractional amount of less than one yen resulting from such adjustment shall be rounded up to one yen.

The “Number of shares already issued” in the formula above shall be the number of shares that is the balance that remains after deducting the number of shares held by the Company from the total number of shares issued, and in the event that the Company disposes of treasury stock, the “number of newly issued shares” shall be replaced with “number of treasury stock to be disposed of.”
