4. Amount to be paid in exchange of Stock Subscription Rights

No amount shall be required to pay in exchange for the Stock Subscription Rights.

The compensation request right shall then be used to offset the payment for the Stock Subscription Rights on the same day. The allotment of the Stock Subscription Rights under the scheme therefore does not constitute the issuance under the terms and conditions that are particularly favorable to the allottees.

5. Amount to be paid with the exercise of Stock Subscription Rights

The amount to be paid in upon exercise of a Stock Subscription Right shall be one yen per share to be issued or transferred upon exercise of a Stock Subscription Right, multiplied by the number of shares to be issued or transferred upon exercise of a Stock Subscription Right, as stipulated in 2 above.
