(j) In case the Issuer shall elect to redeem Securities, in whole but not in part, and the Issuer determines and certifies to the Fiscal Agent immediately prior to the giving of the notice of the redemption that, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws or treaties (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of Japan (or any political subdivision or taxing authority of Japan) affecting any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of Japan, or any authority therein or thereof having power to tax (“Taxes”), or any change in official position regarding the application or interpretation of these laws, treaties, regulations or rulings (including a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction), which change, amendment, application or interpretation becomes effective on or after June 24, 2009, the Issuer is, or on the next interest payment date would be, required to pay any additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received by any beneficial owner of the Securities after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes shall equal the respective amounts of principal and interest which would have been receivable by such beneficial owner in respect of the Securities in the absence of such withholding or deduction, that cannot be avoided by measures reasonably available to the Issuer, the Fiscal Agent shall cause to be published on behalf of the Issuer at the Issuer’s cost irrevocable notice of intention to redeem the Securities on the date therein designated, and stating that on said redemption date there will become and be due and payable upon each Security so to be redeemed the redemption price payable upon such redemption in U.S. dollars, at the place or places specified in such notice, and that from and after such redemption date interest thereon will cease to accrue; provided that no notice of redemption shall be given earlier than ninety (90) days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to make the withholding if a payment in respect of the Securities were then due. Prior to the publication and sending of any notice of redemption of the Securities pursuant to the foregoing, the Issuer will deliver to the Fiscal Agent an opinion of independent counsel of recognized standing or an opinion of a tax consultant of recognized standing to the effect that the circumstances referred to above exist. The Fiscal Agent shall accept such opinion of counsel or tax consultant, as the case may be, as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent described above and shall be entitled to rely on such opinion of counsel or tax consultant, and it shall be conclusive and binding on the registered holders of the Securities. Such notice shall be published in a daily newspaper in the English language of general circulation in The City of New York and in a daily newspaper in the English language of general circulation in London, England, at least once prior to the redemption date, such publication to be not less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the redemption date, provided that for so long as the Securities are held in book-entry form such notices may be given by delivery of the relevant notice to DTC, Euroclear, and Clearstream, Luxembourg, for communication by them to their respective participants in substitution for publication in any such newspaper. In case, by reason of the temporary or permanent suspension of the publication or general circulation of any newspaper or by reason of any other cause, it shall be impossible or impracticable to publish such notice in the manner herein provided, then such method of publication in lieu thereof as shall be approved by the Fiscal Agent shall constitute a sufficient publication of such notice.

(k) All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange shall be promptly cancelled by the Fiscal Agent or such other person as may be designated by the Issuer. All cancelled Securities which were surrendered to anyone other than the Fiscal Agent shall be delivered by such other person (including any transfer agent) to the Fiscal Agent. All cancelled Securities held by the Fiscal Agent shall be destroyed by the Fiscal Agent, and the Fiscal Agent shall furnish to the Issuer and Japan a certificate with respect to such destruction. The Issuer and Japan shall be entitled to have their representatives present at the time of any such destruction but no notice of such destruction need be furnished prior thereto.

Payment of principal on any Security in definitive registered form will be made only upon surrender of such Security in definitive registered form at the office of the Fiscal Agent or any other duly appointed Agent. The Fiscal Agent shall provide notice of such final payment to registered holders mailed not later than the fifteen (15) days before such final payment. Payments will be made on the due date therefor in immediately available funds by wire transfer or by check mailed to the addresses of such holders as they appear on the register maintained by the Fiscal Agent. If the applicable due date for payment is not a Business Day, payment will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day.

(ii) Global Securities or Securities in definitive registered form, as the case may be, of authorized denominations in exchange for a like aggregate principal amount of Global Securities or Securities in definitive registered form, as the case may be, of other authorized denominations.

All Securities so authenticated by the Fiscal Agent shall bear the guarantee of Japan in the form herein provided for.

Each Security authenticated and delivered upon any transfer or in exchange for or in lieu of the whole or any part of any Security shall carry all rights to interest accrued and unpaid and to accrue which were carried by the whole or such part of such Security and shall be so dated that neither gain nor loss of interest shall result from such transfer, exchange or substitution.

(b) Subject to subsection (c) of this Section, no service charge shall be made for any such transfer, exchange or registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Issuer, Japan or the Fiscal Agent (and any other Agent appointed by the Issuer pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement) may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer, stamp or other tax or other governmental charge required to be paid in connection therewith.

-7-

(c) In case any Security certificate shall at any time become mutilated or destroyed or stolen or lost then, provided that such Security, or evidence of the destruction, theft or loss thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Fiscal Agent (which term, for the avoidance of doubt, includes the U.S. Representative) or in the case of Security in definitive registered form, delivered to either the Fiscal Agent or any transfer agent, a replacement Security of like tenor and principal amount and bearing the guarantee of Japan in the form herein provided for, will be issued by the Issuer and, at its request, authenticated and delivered by the Fiscal Agent, in exchange for the Security so mutilated, or in lieu of the Security destroyed or stolen or lost; and provided further that, in the case of destroyed, stolen or lost Securities, the Issuer, Japan, the Fiscal Agent and any transfer agent shall have received evidence satisfactory to them that such Securities were destroyed, stolen or lost, and shall also have received an indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring any indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a replacement Security shall be borne by the holder of the Security mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost. Upon the issuance of any replacement Security under this Section 5(c), the Issuer, Japan, the Fiscal Agent or any transfer agent may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer, stamp or other tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Fiscal Agent) connected therewith. In case such mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay or cause to be paid such Security.

Every replacement Security issued pursuant to this Section 5(c) in exchange for or in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost Security shall constitute a contractual obligation of the Issuer guaranteed by Japan, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone (but, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not constitute an issuance of Securities in excess of the maximum aggregate principal amount set forth in Section 3(b) of this Agreement). Any replacement Security delivered pursuant to this Section 5(c) shall be so dated that neither gain nor loss of interest shall result from such replacement.

(d) The Issuer will promptly make available to the Fiscal Agent a reasonable supply of Securities in definitive registered form and will issue or cause to be issued Securities in definitive registered form upon registration of transfer of, or exchange for, Securities represented by the DTC Global Securities if DTC (a) notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for such DTC Global Security or (b) ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, at a time when it is required to be, and in either such case (a) or (b) a successor is not appointed by the Issuer within ninety (90) days after receiving such notice or becoming aware that DTC is no longer so registered.

(e) The Issuer will promptly make available to the Fiscal Agent a reasonable supply of Securities in definitive registered form and will issue or cause to be issued Securities in definitive registered form upon registration of transfer of, or exchange for, Securities represented by the International Global Security if Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg is closed for business for a continuous period of fourteen (14) days (other than by reason of legal holidays) or announces an intention permanently to cease business.

(f) The Issuer may also at any time in its sole discretion determine not to have any of the Securities represented by the Global Securities and, in such event, will issue or cause to be issued Securities in definitive registered form upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, Securities represented by Global Securities.

-8-

(g) The Issuer shall bear the costs and expenses of printing or preparing any Securities in definitive registered form issued pursuant to Section 5(d), 5(e) and 5(f) above.

(h) Upon any such issuance pursuant to Section 5(d), 5(e) and 5(f) above of Securities in definitive registered form in exchange for all the Securities represented by any Global Security, the Fiscal Agent shall receive the relevant Global Securities from the custodian for DTC or the common depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, shall cancel such Global Securities and shall reduce the holdings of the registered holder of such Global Securities on the register to nil and shall receive Securities in definitive registered form from the Issuer. The Fiscal Agent shall have at least thirty (30) days from the date of its receipt of Securities in definitive registered form, Global Securities submitted for exchange, registration information and delivery information, whichever is latest, to authenticate and deliver such Securities in definitive registered form in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg participants’ beneficial interests in the Securities represented by the relevant Global Securities as of the record date for such exchange established by the Issuer, as directed by DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be. Such Securities in definitive registered form shall be registered in such names and in such denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples thereof, and delivered as DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, pursuant to instructions from direct or indirect participants, shall direct. All Securities represented by Securities in definitive registered form issued in exchange for Securities represented by the relevant Global Securities shall be valid obligations of the Issuer guaranteed by Japan, the holders of which shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the holders of the Global Securities. Exchanges of Global Securities for Securities in definitive registered form as described in this subsection (h) shall be made at the Issuer’s expense without charge to DTC, Euroclear, Clearstream, Luxembourg or the common depositary.

(i) Unless the DTC Global Securities are presented by an authorized representative of DTC to the Issuer, the Fiscal Agent or their respective agents for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any replacement DTC Global Securities are registered in the name of a nominee of DTC, and any payment is made to such nominee, any transfer, pledge or other use of the DTC Global Securities for value or otherwise shall be wrongful since the registered holders of the DTC Global Securities have an interest in the Securities evidenced by the DTC Global Securities.

(j) Neither the Fiscal Agent nor any transfer agent will be required to (i) exchange or register the transfer of any Security selected for redemption; or (ii) exchange or register the transfer of any Security for the period from the record date preceding the due date for any payment to the payment date with respect to such Security.

8. RESIGNATION OR TERMINATION AND APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR. (a) The Issuer and Japan agree, for the benefit of the holders from time to time of the Securities, that there shall at all times be a Fiscal Agent hereunder which shall be or which shall have a representative which is a bank or trust company organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or the State of New York, in good standing and having an established place of business in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, until all the Securities authenticated and delivered hereunder (i) shall have been delivered to the Fiscal Agent for cancellation or (ii) shall have become due and payable and monies sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Securities shall have been made available for payment and either paid or returned to the Issuer or Japan as provided herein and in the Securities (such date being herein referred to as the “Agency Maintenance Termination Date”).

(b) Subject to the provisions of this Section 8, the Issuer and Japan may at any time and from time to time vary or terminate the appointment of the Fiscal Agent or any other Agent or appoint any additional Agents pursuant to Section 2 hereof for any or all of the purposes stated herein; provided, however, that until the Agency Maintenance Termination Date, the Issuer and Japan will at all times maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, where Securities may be surrendered for payment and where Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, as provided in the Securities, and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer and Japan in respect of Securities and this Agreement may be served, and further provided that the Issuer will ensure that it maintains a paying agent in an EU Member State that will not be obliged to withhold or deduct tax pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/EC or any other Directive implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of November 26-27, 2000.

Prior to appointing any replacement U.S. Representative of the Fiscal Agent, the Issuer and/or Japan shall consult the Fiscal Agent and the Fiscal Agent shall recommend to the Issuer and Japan one or more financial institutions for the role of U.S. Representative of the Fiscal Agent, but for the avoidance of doubt, the Issuer and Japan shall appoint a replacement U.S. Representative of the Fiscal Agent at their sole discretion.

In the event the Fiscal Agent or any other Agent resigns its appointment hereunder and no successor Fiscal Agent or Agent is appointed within 60 days after such resignation in place of the resigning Fiscal Agent or Agent, the Fiscal Agent on behalf of the Issuer may appoint a successor Fiscal Agent or Agent, which appointment shall be deemed to be an appointment by the Issuer under this Section 8 and the Fiscal Agent shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of such appointment. Upon its resignation or removal, the Fiscal Agent or such Agent shall be entitled to the payment by the Issuer of its compensation for the services theretofore rendered hereunder and to the reimbursement by the Issuer of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses theretofore incurred in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder.

Upon the appointment as aforesaid of a successor Fiscal Agent or successor of any other Agent and acceptance by such successor Fiscal Agent or successor of such other Agent, as the case may be, of such appointment, the Fiscal Agent or such other Agent so superseded shall cease to be the Fiscal Agent or such other Agent hereunder.

-13-

(e) Any successor Fiscal Agent or successor of any other Agent appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and to the Issuer and Japan an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor Fiscal Agent or successor of any other Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the authority, rights, powers, trusts, immunities, duties and obligations of such predecessor with like effect as if originally named as Fiscal Agent or any other Agent, as the case may be, hereunder, and such predecessor, upon payment to it of its charges and disbursements then unpaid, shall thereupon become obligated to transfer, deliver and pay over, and such successor Fiscal Agent or successor of any other Agent shall be entitled to receive, all monies, securities or other property on deposit with or held by such predecessor, as Fiscal Agent or any other Agent hereunder, as the case may be. The Issuer and Japan shall give notice of the appointment of a successor Fiscal Agent or successor of any other Agent to holders of Securities by prompt publication at least once in a daily newspaper in the English language of general circulation in The City of New York (expected to be the Wall Street Journal) and in a daily newspaper in the English language of general circulation in London, England (expected to be the Financial Times), provided that for so long as the Securities are held in book-entry form such notices may be given by delivery of the relevant notice to DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg, for communication by them to their respective participants in substitution for publication in any such newspaper.

(f) Any corporation or bank into which the Fiscal Agent or its U.S. Representative hereunder or any other Agent may be merged or converted, or any corporation or bank with which the Fiscal Agent or its U.S. Representative or any other Agent may be consolidated, or any corporation or bank resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Fiscal Agent or its U.S. Representative or any other Agent shall be a party, or any corporation or bank to which the Fiscal Agent or its U.S. Representative or any other Agent shall sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of the assets and business of the Fiscal Agent or its U.S. Representative or such Agent, as the case may be, provided that it shall be qualified as aforesaid, shall be the successor Fiscal Agent or its U.S. Representative or successor of any other Agent, as the case may be, under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.

9. FURTHER ISSUES. The Issuer may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the registered holders of the Securities, create and issue further securities ranking pari passu with the Securities in all respects (or in all respects except for the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date of such further securities or except for the first payment of interest following the issue date of such further securities) and so that such further securities shall be consolidated and form a single series with the Securities and shall have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the Securities. Any further securities shall be issued with the benefit of an agreement supplemental to this Agreement.

The Issuer hereby waives irrevocably any immunity to which it might otherwise be entitled in any action arising out of or based on this Agreement or the Securities which may be instituted as provided in this Section in any State or Federal court in The City of New York or in any competent court in Japan.

THE JAPAN FINANCE CORPORATION

2% Guaranteed Bonds due June 24, 2011

1. THE JAPAN FINANCE CORPORATION (herein called the “Issuer”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, the principal sum of U.S. dollars or such other Aggregate Principal Amount as may be shown in the Schedule hereto on June 24, 2011, and to pay to the Registered Holder (as defined in paragraph 3) of this DTC Global Security interest on said principal sum from June 24, 2009 or from the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on June 24 and December 24 in each year, commencing December 24, 2009, at the rate of two per centum (2%) per annum, until payment of said principal sum has been made or duly provided for. The interest so payable on any June 24 and December 24, together with any Additional Amounts (as defined in paragraph 2) payable as set out herein, will be paid to the person in whose name this DTC Global Security is registered at 6:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifteenth day before such interest payment occurs (the “record date”), whether or not the record date is a business day. Interest on the Securities (as defined in paragraph 3) will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

Payments on this DTC Global Security will be made in accordance with any laws, regulations or administrative practices applicable to the Issuer and the paying agent(s) in respect thereof, including the requirements applicable under Japanese tax law. Payment of the principal of and interest on this DTC Global Security shall be made in immediately available funds in the lawful money of the United States of America (“U.S. dollars” or “$”) as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts. Payments of principal of this DTC Global Security shall be made upon surrender of this DTC Global Security at the office of the Fiscal Agent (as defined in paragraph 3) in London, or, subject to applicable laws and regulations, at such other place or places as are designated by the Issuer, which, for the purposes of this DTC Global Security, shall include the office of the U.S. Representative of the Fiscal Agent (as defined in paragraph 3) in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, by U.S. dollar check, or by wire transfer to an account maintained by the payee, and payments of interest on this DTC Global Security shall be made, in accordance with the foregoing and subject to the provisions hereof and to applicable laws and regulations, by check mailed on the due date for such payment to the Registered Holder hereof at the address of the Registered Holder listed in the Security Register (as defined in paragraph 9) or, upon written notice to the Fiscal Agent by such Registered Holder no later than the record date for such payment, by wire transfer to an account of the Registered Holder.

In the Fiscal Agency Agreement (as defined in paragraph 3), the Issuer and Japan have agreed that until the date on which the Securities (as defined in paragraph 3) shall have been delivered to the Fiscal Agent for cancellation, or become due and payable and monies sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all of the Securities shall have been made available for payment and either paid or returned to the Issuer or Japan as provided herein (the “Agency Maintenance Termination Date”), the Issuer and Japan will at all times maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, where Securities may be presented or surrendered for payment.

In that event, the Issuer will pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received by any beneficial owner of this DTC Global Security after such withholding or deduction shall equal the respective amounts of principal and interest which would have been receivable in respect of this DTC Global Security in the absence of such withholding or deduction, except that no such Additional Amounts shall be payable with respect to this DTC Global Security;

(i) to, or to a third party on behalf of, any beneficial owner of this DTC Global Security that is a non-resident of Japan or a non-Japanese corporation and is liable for such Taxes in respect of this DTC Global Security by reason of such beneficial owner’s having some connection with Japan other than the mere holding of, or the enforcement of its rights under, this DTC Global Security; or

(ii) to, or to a third party on behalf of, any beneficial owner of this DTC Global Security that would otherwise be exempt from any such withholding or deduction but that fails to comply with any applicable requirement to provide the Exemption Information (as defined in paragraph 2(b)) to the Fiscal Agent (as defined in paragraph 3), or whose Exemption Information is not duly communicated through the Participant (as defined in paragraph 2(b)) and the relevant international clearing organization to the Fiscal Agent; or

(iii) to, or to a third party on behalf of, any beneficial owner of this DTC Global Security that is for Japanese tax purposes treated as a resident of Japan or a Japanese corporation (except for (A) a Designated Financial Institution (as defined in paragraph 2(b)) that complies with the requirement to provide the Exemption Information or to submit a Claim for Exemption and (B) a resident of Japan or a Japanese corporation that duly notifies the Fiscal Agent of its status as exempt from Taxes to be withheld or deducted by the Issuer by reason of such resident or Japanese corporation receiving interest on this DTC Global Security through a payment handling agent in Japan appointed by it);

(iv) more than 30 days after the Relevant Date (as defined in this paragraph 2(a)), except to the extent that any beneficial owner of this DTC Global Security would have been entitled to such Additional Amounts for payment at the expiration of such 30-day period;

(vi) to, or to a third party on behalf of, a beneficial owner of this DTC Global Security who would have been able to avoid such withholding or deduction by presenting this DTC Global Security to another paying agent in a Member State of the European Union.

As used herein, the “Relevant Date” means the date on which such payment first becomes due, except that, if the amount of the monies payable has not been received by the Fiscal Agent on or prior to such due date, it means the date on which, the full amount of such monies having been so received, notice to that effect shall have been duly published as set forth in paragraph 6.

-3-

(b) For the purpose of sub-paragraphs (ii) and (iii) above:

(i) where this DTC Global Security is held through a certain participant of an international clearing organization or a certain financial intermediary (each, a “Participant”), in order to receive payments free of withholding or deduction by the Issuer for, or on account of Taxes, if the relevant beneficial owner of this DTC Global Security is (A) a non-resident of Japan or a non-Japanese corporation or (B) a Japanese financial institution falling under certain categories prescribed by the Act on Special Measures Concerning Taxation (Act No. 26 of 1957, as amended), and the cabinet order (Cabinet Order No. 43 of March 31, 1957, as amended) thereunder (together with ministerial ordinances and other regulations thereunder, the “Act”) (a “Designated Financial Institution”), all in accordance with the Act, such beneficial owner shall, at the time of entrusting a Participant with the custody of this DTC Global Security, provide certain information prescribed by the Act to enable the Participant to establish that such beneficial owner is exempted from the requirement for Taxes to be withheld or deducted (the “Exemption Information”) and advise the Participant if such beneficial owner ceases to be so exempted; and

(ii) where this DTC Global Security is not held by a Participant, in order to receive payments free of withholding or deduction by the Issuer for, or on account of, Taxes, if the relevant beneficial owner of this DTC Global Security is (A) a non-resident of Japan or a non-Japanese corporation or (B) a Designated Financial Institution, all in accordance with the Act, such beneficial owner shall on or prior to each time on which it receives interest, submit to the Fiscal Agent a claim for exemption from withholding tax (Hikazei Tekiyo Shinkokusho) (a “Claim for Exemption”) in the form obtainable from the Fiscal Agent stating, among other things, the name and address of such beneficial owner, the title of this DTC Global Security, the relevant interest payment date, the amount of interest and the fact that such beneficial owner is qualified to submit the Claim for Exemption, together with the documentary evidence showing that such beneficial owner is a non-resident of Japan or a non-Japanese corporation or a Designated Financial Institution.

3. This DTC Global Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Issuer (herein called the “Securities”), issued in accordance with the Fiscal Agency Agreement (the “Fiscal Agency Agreement”), dated as of June 17, 2009 (New York City time) / June 18, 2009 (Tokyo time), entered into by and among the Issuer, Japan, The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., London Branch, as Fiscal Agent, Principal Paying Agent and Transfer Agent, and Union Bank, N.A., as U.S. representative of the Fiscal Agent, Principal Paying Agent and Transfer Agent (the “U.S. Representative”), with respect to the Securities, copies of which Fiscal Agency Agreement are on file and available for inspection at the office of the U.S. Representative of the Fiscal Agent at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇^▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇.

This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, limited in aggregate principal amount to $2,500,000,000 (two billion five hundred million U.S. dollars) outstanding at any one time (which amount may be increased as provided in the Fiscal Agency Agreement). The Securities are issuable only as fully registered Securities without coupons in denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples thereof.

As used herein, the term “Registered Holder” of a Security means the person in whose name such Security is registered in the Security Register (as defined in paragraph 9).

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Fiscal Agency Agreement or this DTC Global Security, this DTC Global Security may be transferred to, or exchanged for Securities in definitive registered form registered in the name of, a person other than DTC, a nominee of DTC or a successor of DTC or its nominee if (i) DTC (a) notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for such DTC Global Security or (b) ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934 at a time when it is required to be, and in either such case (a) or (b) a successor depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days after receiving such notice or becoming aware that DTC is no longer so registered or (ii) the Issuer in its sole discretion, instructs the Fiscal Agent in writing that a DTC Global Security shall be so transferable and exchangeable. Securities in definitive registered form issued in exchange for this DTC Global Security will be registered in such names as an authorized representative of DTC, pursuant to instructions that direct or indirect Participants in DTC shall request, and issued in denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples thereof.

4. This DTC Global Security is subject to retirement or redemption as hereinafter provided. Redemption of this DTC Global Security pursuant to this paragraph 4 shall be made upon the notice, in the manner and with the effect hereinafter set forth.

5. In order to provide for the payment of principal of and interest on the Securities as the same shall become due, the Issuer does hereby agree to pay to the Fiscal Agent at its office in London, in U.S. dollars, the amounts set forth below in this paragraph, to be applied by the Fiscal Agent as hereinafter set forth:

(a) The Issuer shall pay to the Fiscal Agent semi-annually on a date not later than each interest payment date (or such other date when interest is payable, as provided in paragraph 8(b)) an amount sufficient to pay the interest becoming due on all Securities on such interest payment date.

(b) On a date not later than the redemption or maturity date (or such other date when principal is payable as provided in paragraph 8(b)) of this DTC Global Security, the Issuer shall pay to the Fiscal Agent an amount which, together with any monies then held by the Fiscal Agent and available for the purpose, shall be equal to the entire amount of principal and interest to be due on such redemption or maturity date on the Securities called for redemption or then outstanding.

(c) As early as practicable on each interest payment date and on the redemption or maturity date (or on such other date on which interest or principal is payable, as provided in paragraph 8(b)), the Fiscal Agent shall from funds paid to it by Issuer pay, or procure the payment of, the U.S. dollar amount due in respect of Securities represented by this DTC Global Security by wire transfer of same day funds for value on the due date for payment to DTC for payment pro rata to the relevant accountholders in accordance with DTC’s settlement procedures.

6. The Securities (including this DTC Global Security) may be redeemed for cash at the option of the Issuer in whole, but not in part, on not more than sixty (60) days’ and not less than thirty (30) days’ irrevocable notice to the Registered Holders of the Securities, at a redemption price for each Security equal to the principal amount thereof, together with accrued interest to the date fixed by the Issuer for redemption and any Additional Amounts, if the Issuer determines and certifies to the Fiscal Agent immediately prior to the giving of the notice that, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws or treaties (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of Japan (or any political subdivision or taxing authority of Japan) affecting any Taxes, or any change in official position regarding the application or interpretation of these laws, treaties, regulations or rulings (including a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction), which change, amendment, application or interpretation becomes effective on or after June 24, 2009, the Issuer is, or on the next interest payment date would be, required to pay any Additional Amounts for the Securities that cannot be avoided by measures reasonably available to the Issuer; provided that no notice of redemption shall be given earlier than ninety (90) days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to make the withholding if a payment in respect of the Securities were then due. Prior to the publication and sending of any notice of redemption of the Securities pursuant to the foregoing, the Issuer will deliver to the Fiscal Agent an opinion of independent counsel of recognized standing or an opinion of a tax consultant of recognized standing to the effect that the circumstances referred to above exist. The Fiscal Agent shall accept such opinion of counsel or tax consultant, as the case may be, as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent described above, and it shall be conclusive and binding on the Registered Holders of the Securities.

Notice of intention to redeem the Securities, specifying the redemption date and the place or places where the redemption price will be paid, shall be given by publication in a daily newspaper in the English language, of general circulation in The City of New York (expected to be the Wall Street Journal) and in a daily newspaper in the English language of general circulation in London, England (expected to be the Financial Times), at least once prior to the redemption date, such publication to be not less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the redemption date, provided that for so long as the Securities are held in book-entry form such notices may be given by delivery of the relevant notice to DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg, for communication by them to their respective Participants in substitution for publication in any such newspaper. In case, by reason of the temporary or permanent suspension of the publication or general circulation of any newspaper or by reason of any other cause, it shall be impossible or impracticable to publish such notice in the manner herein provided, then such method of publication in lieu thereof as shall be approved by the Fiscal Agent shall constitute a sufficient publication of such notice. Notice having been so given, the Securities so called for redemption shall become due and payable on the redemption date so designated at the redemption price, and upon surrender thereof, the Securities will be paid at the redemption price together with all accrued interest (unless the redemption date is a date for the payment of interest) in U.S. dollars, at the place or places specified in such notice. From and after the redemption date, if monies for the redemption of all the Securities to be redeemed, shall have been available at the office of the Fiscal Agent for redemption on the redemption date, the Securities so called for redemption shall cease to bear interest and the only right of the Registered Holders of the Securities shall be to receive payment of the redemption price in accordance with the terms of such Securities.

-6-

7. This DTC Global Security will become void unless presented for payment within a period of ten years from the Relevant Date (as defined in paragraph 2).

8. (a) In the event of a default by the Issuer (i) in the payment when due of principal of or interest on any of the Securities and the continuance of such default for a period of thirty (30) days, or (ii) in the performance of any other covenant contained in the Securities and the continuance of such default for a period of ninety (90) days after written notice thereof to the Issuer from the Registered Holder of this DTC Global Security shall have been received by the Fiscal Agent, then in any such case the principal amount of this DTC Global Security shall, at the option of and upon written demand to the Fiscal Agent at said office by the Registered Holder hereof, mature and become due and payable upon the date that such written demand is received by the Fiscal Agent, unless prior to such date the Issuer shall have cured all such defaults in respect of all the Securities. Any amount of interest or principal so in default in respect of this DTC Global Security shall bear interest (if, and to the extent permitted by law) at the rate specified in the title of this DTC Global Security until such default shall have been cured.

(b) If a date for payment of principal or interest on this DTC Global Security falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then the related payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest may be made on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date the payment was due and no interest will accrue in respect of such delay. In this paragraph, “Business Day” means any day on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments and are open for general business (including dealings in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits) in: (a) the relevant place of payment and (b) The City of New York, London and Tokyo.

9. The transfer of this DTC Global Security is registrable on the Security Register (as herein defined) upon surrender of this DTC Global Security for registration at the office of the U.S. Representative of the Fiscal Agent in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in a form approved by the Fiscal Agent duly executed by, the Registered Holder hereof or such Registered Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. The Issuer, Japan and the Fiscal Agent may deem and treat the Registered Holder hereof as the absolute owner hereof (notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing hereon made by anyone) for the purpose of receiving payment hereon and for all other purposes, whether or not this DTC Global Security shall be overdue. Upon surrender of this DTC Global Security by an authorized representative of DTC, for registration of transfer, the Issuer shall execute, and the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, and registered in such name or names as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC, dated the date of authentication thereof and bearing the guarantee of Japan in the form provided in the Fiscal Agency Agreement. The Issuer covenants that, until the Agency Maintenance Termination Date, it will at all times maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency for the transfer and registration of transfers, as aforesaid, of Securities and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer or Japan in respect of the Securities and the Fiscal Agency Agreement may be served. The Issuer has appointed the Fiscal Agent (acting through its U.S. Representative) as its agent for such purpose. The Issuer has also agreed to cause to be kept at the office of the Fiscal Agent in London a register (the register maintained in such office being herein sometimes referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for such registration of transfers.

-7-

In the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Fiscal Agency Agreement, Securities may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of authorized denominations bearing the guarantee of Japan in the form provided in the Fiscal Agency Agreement. The Issuer covenants that until the Agency Maintenance Termination Date, it will at all times maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, where Securities may be surrendered in exchange for Securities in other authorized denominations in accordance with the terms hereof and of the Fiscal Agency Agreement. The Issuer has appointed the Fiscal Agent (acting through its U.S. Representative) as its agent for such purpose.

Neither the Fiscal Agent nor any transfer agent will be required to (i) exchange or register the transfer of any Security selected for redemption; or (ii) exchange or register the transfer of any Security for the period from the record date preceding the due date for any payment to the payment date with respect to such Security.

All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer guaranteed by Japan evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. Any new DTC Global Security delivered pursuant to this paragraph 9 shall be so dated that neither gain nor loss of interest shall result from such registration or exchange.

No service charge shall be made for any such transfer, exchange or registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Issuer, Japan or the Fiscal Agent (and any other agent appointed by the Issuer pursuant to Section 2 of the Fiscal Agency Agreement) may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer, stamp or other tax or other governmental charge required to be paid in connection therewith.

10. In case this DTC Global Security shall at any time become mutilated or destroyed or stolen or lost then, provided that this DTC Global Security, or evidence of the destruction, theft or loss thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Fiscal Agent or its U.S. Representative, a replacement DTC Global Security of like tenor and principal amount and bearing the guarantee of Japan in the form provided in the Fiscal Agency Agreement will be issued by the Issuer and, at its request, authenticated and delivered by the Fiscal Agent, in exchange for the DTC Global Security so mutilated, or in lieu of the DTC Global Security destroyed or stolen or lost; and provided further that, in the case of destroyed, stolen or lost Securities, the Issuer, Japan and the Fiscal Agent shall have received evidence satisfactory to them that such Securities were destroyed, stolen or lost, and shall also have received an indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a replacement DTC Global Security shall be borne by the Registered Holder of the DTC Global Security mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost. Upon the issuance of any replacement DTC Global Security under this paragraph 10, the Issuer, Japan or the Fiscal Agent may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer, stamp or other tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Fiscal Agent) connected therewith. In case such mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost DTC Global Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new DTC Global Security, pay or cause to be paid such DTC Global Security.

-8-

Every replacement DTC Global Security issued pursuant to this paragraph 10 in exchange for or in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost DTC Global Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer guaranteed by Japan, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost DTC Global Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone. Any replacement DTC Global Security delivered pursuant to this paragraph 10 shall be so dated that neither gain nor loss of interest shall result from such replacement.

The provisions of this paragraph 10 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost Securities.

11. Subject to paragraph 13, the Issuer hereby certifies and declares that all acts, conditions and things required to be done and performed and to have happened precedent to the creation and issuance of this DTC Global Security and its guarantee by Japan, and to constitute the same the valid obligations of the Issuer and of Japan, respectively, in accordance with their terms, have been done and performed and have happened in due and strict compliance with the applicable laws of Japan.

12. The Fiscal Agency Agreement may be modified or amended by the Issuer, Japan and the Fiscal Agent, and the terms and conditions of the Securities may be modified or amended by the Issuer and Japan, without the consent of the Registered Holder of any DTC Global Security for the purpose of adding to the covenants of the Issuer or Japan for the benefit of the Registered Holders, surrendering any right or power conferred upon the Issuer or Japan, securing the Securities pursuant to the requirements of the Securities or otherwise, curing any ambiguity, or curing, correcting or supplementing any defective provision therein, or in any manner which the Issuer, Japan and the Fiscal Agent may mutually deem necessary or desirable, which, in the case of the Fiscal Agency Agreement, shall not be inconsistent with the Securities, and which shall not adversely affect the interests of the Registered Holders of the Securities in any material respect, to all of which each Registered Holder of any DTC Global Security shall, by acceptance thereof, consent.

13. This DTC Global Security shall not become valid or obligatory for any purpose unless and until this DTC Global Security has been authenticated by or on behalf of The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., London Branch, or its successor, as Fiscal Agent.

-9-

14. This DTC Global Security shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York except with respect to its authorization and execution by the Issuer and any other matters required to be governed by the laws of Japan.

15. As more fully set forth in the Fiscal Agency Agreement, the Issuer has appointed the U.S. Representative of the Fiscal Agent for the time being as its authorized agent upon which process may be served in any action arising out of or based on the Securities or the Fiscal Agency Agreement which may be instituted in any State or Federal court in The City of New York by the Registered Holder of this DTC Global Security, and the Issuer hereby expressly accepts the jurisdiction of any such court in respect of such action. Such appointment shall be irrevocable until the Agency Maintenance Termination Date, unless and until a successor U.S. Representative of the Fiscal Agent or successor Fiscal Agent shall have been appointed by the Issuer as its authorized agent for such purpose and such successor U.S. Representative of the Fiscal Agent or successor Fiscal Agent shall have accepted such appointment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any action arising out of or based on the Securities may be instituted by the Registered Holder of this DTC Global Security in any competent court in Japan. The Issuer hereby waives irrevocably any immunity to which it might otherwise be entitled in any action based on the Securities which may be instituted by the Registered Holder of any DTC Global Security in any State or Federal court in The City of New York or in any competent court in Japan. This waiver is intended to be effective upon execution of this DTC Global Security without any further act by the Issuer before any such court, and introduction of this DTC Global Security into evidence shall be final and conclusive evidence of such waiver.

2% Guaranteed Bonds due June 24, 2011

1. THE JAPAN FINANCE CORPORATION (herein called the “Issuer”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to BTMU Nominees (UK) Limited, or registered assigns, the principal sum of U.S. dollars or such other Aggregate Principal Amount as may be shown in the Schedule hereto on June 24, 2011, and to pay to the Registered Holder (as defined in paragraph 3) of this International Global Security interest on said principal sum from June 24, 2009 or from the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on June 24 and December 24 in each year, commencing December 24, 2009, at the rate of two per centum (2%) per annum, until payment of said principal sum has been made or duly provided for. The interest so payable on any June 24 and December 24, together with any Additional Amounts (as defined in paragraph 2) payable as set out herein, will be paid to the person in whose name this International Global Security is registered at 6:00 p.m. New York City time, on the fifteenth day before such interest payment occurs (the “record date”), whether or not the record date is a business day. Interest on the Securities (as defined in paragraph 3) will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

Payments on this International Global Security will be made in accordance with any laws, regulations or administrative practices applicable to the Issuer and the paying agent(s) in respect thereof, including the requirements applicable under Japanese tax law. Payment of the principal of and interest on this International Global Security shall be made in immediately available funds in the lawful money of the United States of America (“U.S. dollars” or “$”) as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts. Also, payments of principal of this International Global Security shall be made upon surrender of this International Global Security at the office of the Fiscal Agent (as defined in paragraph 3) in London, or, subject to applicable laws and regulations, at such other place or places as are designated by the Issuer, by U.S. dollar check, or by wire transfer to an account maintained by the payee, and payments of interest on this International Global Security shall be made, in accordance with the foregoing and subject to the provisions hereof and applicable laws and regulations, by check mailed on the due date for such payment to the Registered Holder hereof at the address of the Registered Holder listed in the Security Register (as defined in paragraph 9) or, upon written notice to the Fiscal Agent by such Registered Holder no later than the record date for such payment, by wire transfer to an account of the Registered Holder.

2. (a) All payments of principal and interest by the Issuer in respect of this International Global Security will be made without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of Japan, or any authority therein or thereof having power to tax (“Taxes”), unless the withholding or deduction of such Taxes is required by law. In that event, the Issuer will pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received by any beneficial owner of this International Global Security after such withholding or deduction shall equal the respective amounts of principal and interest which would have been receivable in respect of this International Global Security in the absence of such withholding or deduction, except that no such Additional Amounts shall be payable with respect to this International Global Security;

-2-

(i) to, or to a third party on behalf of, any beneficial owner of this International Global Security that is a non-resident of Japan or a non-Japanese corporation and is liable for such Taxes in respect of this International Global Security by reason of such beneficial owner’s having some connection with Japan other than the mere holding of, or the enforcement of its rights under, this International Global Security; or

(ii) to, or to a third party on behalf of, any beneficial owner of this International Global Security that would otherwise be exempt from any such withholding or deduction but that fails to comply with any applicable requirement to provide the Exemption Information (as defined in paragraph 2(b)) to the Fiscal Agent (as defined in paragraph 3), or whose Exemption Information is not duly communicated through the Participant (as defined in paragraph 2(b)) and Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. (“Euroclear”) or Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (“Clearstream, Luxembourg”) to the Fiscal Agent; or

(iii) to, or to a third party on behalf of, any beneficial owner of this International Global Security that is for Japanese tax purposes treated as a resident of Japan or a Japanese corporation (except for (A) a Designated Financial Institution (as defined in paragraph 2(b)) that complies with the requirement to provide the Exemption Information or to submit a Claim for Exemption and (B) a resident of Japan or a Japanese corporation that duly notifies the Fiscal Agent of its status as exempt from Taxes to be withheld or deducted by the Issuer by reason of such resident or Japanese corporation receiving interest on this International Global Security through a payment handling agent in Japan appointed by it);

(iv) more than 30 days after the Relevant Date (as defined in this paragraph 2(a)), except to the extent that any beneficial owner of this International Global Security would have been entitled to such Additional Amounts for payment at the expiration of such 30-day period;

(vi) to, or to a third party on behalf of, a beneficial owner of this International Global Security who would have been able to avoid such withholding or deduction by presenting this International Global Security to another paying agent in a Member State of the European Union.

-3-

(b) For the purpose of sub-paragraphs (ii) and (iii) above:

(i) where this International Global Security is held through a certain participant of Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg or a certain financial intermediary (each, a “Participant”), in order to receive payments free of withholding or deduction by the Issuer for, or on account of Taxes, if the relevant beneficial owner of this International Global Security is (A) a non-resident of Japan or a non-Japanese corporation or (B) a Japanese financial institution falling under certain categories prescribed by the Act on Special Measures Concerning Taxation (Act No. 26 of 1957, as amended), and the cabinet order (Cabinet Order No. 43 of March 31, 1957, as amended) thereunder (together with ministerial ordinances and other regulations thereunder, the “Act”) (a “Designated Financial Institution”), all in accordance with the Act, such beneficial owner shall, at the time of entrusting a Participant with the custody of this International Global Security, provide certain information prescribed by the Act to enable the Participant to establish that such beneficial owner is exempted from the requirement for Taxes to be withheld or deducted (the “Exemption Information”) and advise the Participant if such beneficial owner ceases to be so exempted; and

(ii) where this International Global Security is not held by a Participant, in order to receive payments free of withholding or deduction by the Issuer for, or on account of, Taxes, if the relevant beneficial owner of this International Global Security is (A) a non-resident of Japan or a non-Japanese corporation or (B) a Designated Financial Institution, all in accordance with the Act, such beneficial owner shall on or prior to each time on which it receives interest, submit to the Fiscal Agent a claim for exemption from withholding tax (Hikazei Tekiyo Shinkokusho) (a “Claim for Exemption”) in the form obtainable from the Fiscal Agent stating, among other things, the name and address of such beneficial owner, the title of this International Global Security, the relevant interest payment date, the amount of interest and the fact that such beneficial owner is qualified to submit the Claim for Exemption, together with the documentary evidence showing that such beneficial owner is a non-resident of Japan or a non-Japanese corporation or a Designated Financial Institution.

Any reference in this International Global Security or the guarantee of Japan in the form provided in the Fiscal Agency Agreement to principal or interest shall be deemed also to refer to any Additional Amount which may be payable under this paragraph 2.

3. This International Global Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Issuer (herein called the “Securities”), issued in accordance with the Fiscal Agency Agreement (the “Fiscal Agency Agreement”), dated as of June 17, 2009 (New York City time) / June 18, 2009 (Tokyo time), entered into by and among the Issuer, Japan, The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., London Branch, as Fiscal Agent, Principal Paying Agent and Transfer Agent, and Union Bank, N.A., as the U.S. representative of the Fiscal Agent (the “U.S. Representative”), with respect to the Securities, copies of which Fiscal Agency Agreement are on file and available for inspection at the office of the Fiscal Agent at ▇▇-▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇. The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., London Branch, and Union Bank, N.A., in its capacity as U.S. Representative, and their successors as Fiscal Agent are herein called the “Fiscal Agent”. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, limited in aggregate principal amount to $2,500,000,000 (· U.S. dollars) outstanding at any one time (which amount may be increased as provided in the Fiscal Agency Agreement). The Securities are issuable only as fully registered Securities without coupons in denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples thereof. In acting under the Fiscal Agency Agreement, the Fiscal Agent is acting solely as agent for the Issuer and Japan and does not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with the Registered Holder of this International Global Security except as specifically described below. As used herein, the term “Registered Holder” of a Security means the person in whose name such Security is registered in the Security Register (as defined in paragraph 9).

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Fiscal Agency Agreement or this International Global Security, this International Global Security may be transferred to, or exchanged for Securities in definitive registered form registered in the name of, a person other than a common depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg, a nominee of a common depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg or successor of a common depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg or its nominee if Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for such International Global Security and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days after receiving such notice or becoming aware that Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg is no longer so registered, or the Issuer, in its sole discretion, instructs the Fiscal Agent in writing that the International Global Security shall be so transferable and exchangeable. Securities in definitive registered form issued in exchange for this International Global Security will be registered in such names as an authorized representative of the common depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg, pursuant to instructions from direct and indirect Participants in Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, shall request, and issued in denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples thereof.

4. This International Global Security is subject to retirement or redemption as hereinafter provided. Redemption of this International Global Security pursuant to this paragraph 4 shall be made upon the notice, in the manner and with the effect hereinafter set forth.

5. In order to provide for the payment of principal of and interest on the Securities as the same shall become due, the Issuer does hereby agree to pay to the Fiscal Agent at its office in London in U.S. dollars, the amounts set forth below in this paragraph, to be applied by the Fiscal Agent as hereinafter set forth:

(b) On a date not later than the redemption or maturity date (or such other date when principal is payable as provided in paragraph 8(b)) of this International Global Security, the Issuer shall pay to the Fiscal Agent an amount which, together with any monies then held by the Fiscal Agent and available for the purpose, shall be equal to the entire amount of principal and interest to be due on such redemption or maturity date on the Securities called for redemption or then outstanding.

-5-

(c) As early as practicable on each interest payment date and on the redemption or maturity date (or on such other date on which interest or principal is payable as provided in paragraph 8(b)), the Fiscal Agent shall from funds paid to it by the Issuer pay, or procure the payment of, the U.S. dollars amount due in respect of Securities represented by this International Global Security by check or by wire transfer of same day funds for value on the due date for payment to the Registered Holder of this International Global Security for payment pro rata to the owners of beneficial ownership interests in the Securities represented by this International Global Security in accordance with Euroclear and Clearstream’s settlement procedures.

6. The Securities (including this International Global Security) may be redeemed for cash at the option of the Issuer in whole, but not in part, on not more than sixty (60) days’ and not less than thirty (30) days’ irrevocable notice to the Registered Holders of the Securities, at a redemption price for each Security equal to the principal amount thereof, together with accrued interest to the date fixed by the Issuer for redemption and any Additional Amounts, if the Issuer determines and certifies to the Fiscal Agent immediately prior to the giving of the notice that, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws or treaties (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of Japan (or any political subdivision or taxing authority of Japan) affecting any Taxes, or any change in official position regarding the application or interpretation of these laws, treaties, regulations or rulings (including a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction), which change, amendment, application or interpretation becomes effective on or after June 24, 2009, the Issuer is, or on the next interest payment date would be, required to pay any Additional Amounts for the Securities that cannot be avoided by measures reasonably available to the Issuer; provided that no notice of redemption shall be given earlier than ninety (90) days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to make the withholding if a payment in respect of the Securities were then due. Prior to the publication and sending of any notice of redemption of the Securities pursuant to the foregoing, the Issuer will deliver to the Fiscal Agent an opinion of independent counsel of recognized standing or an opinion of a tax consultant of recognized standing to the effect that the circumstances referred to above exist. The Fiscal Agent shall accept such opinion of counsel or tax consultant, as the case may be, as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent described above, and it shall be conclusive and binding on the Registered Holders of the Securities.

Notice of intention to redeem the Securities, specifying the redemption date and the place or places where the redemption price will be paid, shall be given by publication in a daily newspaper in the English language, of general circulation in The City of New York (expected to be the Wall Street Journal) and in a daily newspaper in the English language of general circulation in London, England (expected to be the Financial Times), at least once prior to the redemption date, such publication to be not less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the redemption date, provided that for so long as the Securities are held in book-entry form such notices may be given by delivery of the relevant notice to DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg, for communication by them to their respective Participants in substitution for publication in any such newspaper. In case, by reason of the temporary or permanent suspension of the publication or general circulation of any newspaper or by reason of any other cause, it shall be impossible or impracticable to publish such notice in the manner herein provided, then such method of publication in lieu thereof as shall be approved by the Fiscal Agent shall constitute a sufficient publication of such notice. Notice having been so given, the Securities so called for redemption shall become due and payable on the redemption date so designated at the redemption price, and upon surrender thereof, the Securities will be paid at the redemption price together with all accrued interest (unless the redemption date is a date for the payment of interest) in U.S. dollars, at the place or places specified in such notice. From and after the redemption date, if monies for the redemption of all the Securities to be redeemed shall have been available at the office of the Fiscal Agent for redemption on the redemption date, the Securities so called for redemption shall cease to bear interest and the only right of the Registered Holders of the Securities shall be to receive payment of the redemption price in accordance with the terms of such Securities.

-6-

7. This International Global Security will become void unless presented for payment within a period of ten years from the Relevant Date (as defined in paragraph 2).

8. (a) In the event of a default by the Issuer (i) in the payment when due of principal of or interest on any of the Securities and the continuance of such default for a period of thirty (30) days, or (ii) in the performance of any other covenant contained in the Securities and the continuance of such default for a period of ninety (90) days after written notice thereof to the Issuer from the Registered Holder of this International Global Security shall have been received by the Fiscal Agent, then in any such case the principal amount of this International Global Security shall, at the option of and upon written demand to the Fiscal Agent at said office by the Registered Holder hereof, mature and become due and payable upon the date that such written demand is received by the Fiscal Agent, unless prior to such date the Issuer shall have cured all such defaults in respect of all the Securities. Any amount of interest or principal so in default in respect of this International Global Security shall bear interest (if, and to the extent permitted by law) at the rate specified in the title of this International Global Security until such default shall have been cured.

(b) If a date for payment of principal or interest on this International Global Security falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then the related payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest may be made on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date the payment was due and no interest will accrue in respect of such delay. For purposes of this paragraph 8(b), “Business Day” means any day on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments and are open for general business (including dealings in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits) in: (a) the relevant place of payment and (b) The City of New York, London and Tokyo.

9. The transfer of this International Global Security is registrable on the Security Register (as herein defined) upon surrender of this International Global Security for registration at the office of the Fiscal Agent duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in a form approved by the Fiscal Agent duly executed by, the Registered Holder hereof or such Registered Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. Upon surrender of this International Global Security for registration of transfer by the Registered Holder hereof, the Issuer shall execute, and the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, and registered in such name or names as may be requested by the Registered Holder hereof, dated the date of authentication thereof and bearing the guarantee of Japan in the form provided in the Fiscal Agency Agreement. The Issuer, Japan and the Fiscal Agent may deem and treat the Registered Holder hereof as the absolute owner hereof (notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing hereon made by anyone) for the purpose of receiving payment hereon and for all other purposes, whether or not this International Global Security shall be overdue. The Issuer covenants that, until the Agency Maintenance Termination Date, it will at all times maintain in London an office or agency for the transfer and registration of transfers, as aforesaid, of Securities and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer or Japan in respect of the Securities and the Fiscal Agency Agreement may be served. The Issuer has appointed the Fiscal Agent as its agent for such purpose and has agreed to cause to be kept at the office of the Fiscal Agent in London a register (the register maintained in such office being herein sometimes referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for such registration of transfers.

-7-

In the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Fiscal Agency Agreement, Securities may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of authorized denominations bearing the guarantee of Japan in the form provided in the Fiscal Agency Agreement. The Issuer covenants that until the Agency Maintenance Termination Date, it will at all times maintain an office or agency in London where Securities may be surrendered in exchange for Securities in other authorized denominations in accordance with the terms hereof and of the Fiscal Agency Agreement. The Issuer has appointed the Fiscal Agent as its agent for such purpose.

All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer guaranteed by Japan evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. Any new International Global Security delivered pursuant to this paragraph 9 shall be so dated that neither gain nor loss of interest shall result from such registration or exchange.

10. In case this International Global Security shall at any time become mutilated or destroyed or stolen or lost then, provided that this International Global Security, or evidence of the destruction, theft or loss thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Fiscal Agent or its U.S. Representative, a replacement International Global Security of like tenor and principal amount and bearing the guarantee of Japan in the form provided in the Fiscal Agency Agreement will be issued by the Issuer and, at its request, authenticated and delivered by the Fiscal Agent in exchange for the International Global Security so mutilated, or in lieu of the International Global Security destroyed or stolen or lost; and provided further that, in the case of destroyed, stolen or lost Securities, the Issuer, Japan and the Fiscal Agent shall have received evidence satisfactory to them that such Securities were destroyed, stolen or lost, and shall also have received an indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a replacement International Global Security shall be borne by the Registered Holder of the International Global Security mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost. Upon the issuance of any replacement International Global Security under this paragraph 10, the Issuer, Japan or the Fiscal Agent may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer, stamp or other tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Fiscal Agent) connected therewith. In case such mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost International Global Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new International Global Security, pay or cause to be paid such International Global Security.

-8-

Every replacement International Global Security issued pursuant to this paragraph 10 in exchange for or in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost International Global Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer guaranteed by Japan, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost International Global Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone. Any replacement International Global Security delivered pursuant to this paragraph 10 shall be so dated that neither gain nor loss of interest shall result from such replacement.

11. Subject to paragraph 13, the Issuer hereby certifies and declares that all acts, conditions and things required to be done and performed and to have happened precedent to the creation and issuance of this International Global Security and its guarantee by Japan, and to constitute the same the valid obligations of the Issuer and of Japan, respectively, in accordance with their terms, have been done and performed and have happened in due and strict compliance with the applicable laws of Japan.

12. The Fiscal Agency Agreement may be modified or amended by the Issuer, Japan and the Fiscal Agent, and the terms and conditions of the Securities may be modified or amended by the Issuer and Japan, without the consent of the Registered Holder of any International Global Security for the purpose of adding to the covenants of the Issuer or Japan for the benefit of the Registered Holders, surrendering any right or power conferred upon the Issuer or Japan, securing the Securities pursuant to the requirements of the Securities or otherwise, curing any ambiguity, or curing, correcting or supplementing any defective provision therein, or in any manner which the Issuer, Japan and the Fiscal Agent may mutually deem necessary or desirable, which, in the case of the Fiscal Agency Agreement, shall not be inconsistent with the Securities, and which shall not adversely affect the interests of the Registered Holders of the Securities in any material respect, to all of which each Registered Holder of any International Global Security shall, by acceptance thereof, consent.

13. This International Global Security shall not become valid or obligatory for any purpose unless and until this International Global Security has been authenticated by The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., London Branch, or its successor, as Fiscal Agent.

14. This International Global Security shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York except with respect to its authorization and execution by the Issuer and any other matters required to be governed by the laws of Japan.

15. As more fully set forth in the Fiscal Agency Agreement, the Issuer has appointed the U.S. Representative of the Fiscal Agent for the time being as its authorized agent upon which process may be served in any action arising out of or based on the Securities or the Fiscal Agency Agreement which may be instituted in any State or Federal court in The City of New York by the Registered Holder of this International Global Security, and the Issuer hereby expressly accepts the jurisdiction of any such court in respect of such action. Such appointment shall be irrevocable until the Agency Maintenance Termination Date, unless and until a successor U.S. Representative of the Fiscal Agent or successor Fiscal Agent shall have been appointed by the Issuer as its authorized agent for such purpose and such successor U.S. Representative of the Fiscal Agent or successor Fiscal Agent shall have accepted such appointment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any action arising out of or based on the Securities may be instituted by the Registered Holder of this International Global Security in any competent court in Japan. The Issuer hereby waives irrevocably any immunity to which it might otherwise be entitled in any action based on the Securities which may be instituted by the Registered Holder of this International Global Security in any State or Federal court in The City of New York or in any competent court in Japan. This waiver is intended to be effective upon execution of this International Global Security without any further act by the Issuer before any such court, and introduction of this International Global Security into evidence shall be final and conclusive evidence of such waiver.
