Lapse

3.5          Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Options shall lapse automatically and become of no effect on the earlier of:

(i)	the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Clause 13.

3.6          The Options shall lapse automatically and become of no effect if, on any date on or after the beginning of the Exercise Period, the Grantee ceases to be an officer (including a managing officer (jomu yakuin)) or an employee of any member of the Group for any reason other than:

 

 

 

---

 

 

For the avoidance of doubt, the Grantee shall not be treated for such purposes as ceasing to be an officer (including a managing officer (jomu yakuin)) or an employee of any member of the Group if the Grantee remains or simultaneously becomes an officer (including a managing officer (jomu yakuin)) or an employee of another member of the Group.

3.7          For the purposes of Clause 3.5(h) and Clause 3.6, a Grantee shall not be treated as ceasing to be an officer (including a managing officer (jomu yakuin)) or an employee of any member of the Group if he is absent from work solely as a result of an authorised leave of absence until such Grantee ceases to be entitled to exercise any statutory or contractual right to return to work.

3.8          In the event that the Company becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of another company (such company, the Holding Company) as a result of a share-for-share exchange (kabushiki kokan) or a statutory share transfer (kabushiki ▇▇▇▇), the Company may, in its discretion, decide to invalidate any Options which have not yet been exercised. However, if the Company decides not to invalidate the Options in these circumstances:

3.11       If the Company refuses to accept the exercise by the Grantee of the Options for any one of the reasons set forth in Clauses 3.10(a) to 3.10(d) above:

 

 

 

---

 

4.1          Subject to Clause 3.2, the Grantee may exercise one or more of the Options in whole, but not in part, during the Exercise Period in accordance with the following procedure:

4.2          The Grantee may withdraw the Exercise Notice up until such time as the Grantee pays the Exercising Purchase Price by giving written notice to the Company to that effect; provided however, that once the Grantee has paid the Exercising Purchase Price in full, the Grantee cannot withdraw the Exercise Notice.

4.3          Notwithstanding Clause 4.2 above, following payment by the Grantee of the Exercising Purchase Price, the Exercise Notice shall be deemed withdrawn if the Company notifies the Grantee of its refusal to accept the exercise of the Options pursuant to Clause 3.10. In such circumstances, the Company shall repay the Exercising Purchase Price to the Grantee, in which case the Company shall not pay any interest with respect to any repayment to the Grantee.

 

 

 

---

 

In the event of a Reorganization of the share capital of the Company, the Exercise Price and the total number of Common Shares underlying an Option may be adjusted in accordance with the formulae set out in Appendix 1.

6.1          The Options may not be exercised if the exercise of the Options or the related issue of Common Shares thereafter would be contrary to any enactment or regulation at the time being in force in any country having jurisdiction in relation thereto. Neither the Employing Company nor the Company shall be bound to take any action or obtain the consent of any governmental authority to such acquisition, exercise or issue or to take any action to ensure that any such acquisition, exercise or issue is in accordance with any such enactment or regulation if such action would, in the opinion of the Employing Company or the Company (as the case may be), be unduly onerous and neither the Employing Company nor the Company shall have any liability in respect thereof to the Grantee.

6.2          The Grantee hereby agrees to abide by the Securities and Exchange Law of Japan, and all relevant securities laws, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ legislation, commercial codes, tax laws, any other relevant laws, rules and regulations (including relevant foreign, state and local laws) and relevant internal rules of the Company and the Employing Company (including, without limitation, all insider information and trading prohibition rules and the rules on buying and selling Common Shares in relation to the exercise of any Options and the subsequent sale of the Common Shares acquired upon exercise). If the Grantee has any questions about the application of relevant laws and rules, the Grantee shall immediately contact the Company to discuss them; provided, however, that the Grantee is solely responsible for obtaining his own legal advice in connection with the grant and exercise of the Options.

 

7.1          The rights, obligations and status of the Grantee under the terms and conditions of his office or employment with the Employing Company shall not be affected by this Agreement. Neither this Agreement nor any action taken or omitted to be taken hereunder shall be construed as in any way:

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement creates any form of employment relationship between the Company and the Grantee.

7.2          The Grantee hereby waives any and all rights to compensation or damages in consequence of the termination of his office or employment with the Company, the Employing Company or any other member of the Group for any reason whatsoever (whether the dismissal is lawful or unlawful) insofar as those rights arise, or may arise, from his ceasing to have rights under or being entitled to exercise the Options pursuant to this Agreement as a result of such termination or from the loss or decrease in value of such rights or entitlements. If necessary, the Grantee’s terms of employment shall be varied accordingly.

 

 

 

---

 

In accordance with the purpose of this Agreement, the Grantee shall devote himself to his work with integrity as an officer (including a managing officer (jomu yakuin)) or an employee (as appropriate) of the relevant member(s) of the Group.

The Company and the Employing Company may hold personal information relating to the Grantee, including, without limitation, payroll, address, service period, demographics and similar information in connection with this Agreement and may at any time process and use such personal information in order to perform and facilitate the implementation, management and administration of the matters contemplated and set out in this Agreement provided that such use is not prohibited by law. Subject to any applicable prohibitions, the Company may, at any time to the extent required, make the Grantee’s personal information available to other persons within or outside the Group for such purposes, including, but not limited, in connection with the exercise of the Options. The Grantee hereby irrevocably consents to the processing, use, transfer and registration of such personal information within or outside the Group. Before transferring any data to a person or entity outside the Group, the Company or the Employing Company (as the case may be) undertakes to inform the Grantee of:

The Company will take reasonable steps to protect and defend the privacy interests of the Grantee.

10.1       The Grantee shall be responsible and liable for any income tax, capital gains tax, social security contributions or other tax, charge or duty (Taxation Liabilities) which may be assessed or chargeable in connection with the grant or exercise of the Options. The Grantee shall indemnify the Company and any other member of the Group in respect of any Taxation Liabilities payable in respect of the Options for which the Company or any other member of the Group is liable, whether pursuant to any withholding obligations or otherwise. If further taxes, charges or duties are assessable in addition to Taxation Liabilities (Additional Taxation Liabilities), the Company may, in its discretion, assume responsibility for payment of such Additional Taxation Liabilities.

11.1       Pursuant to Japanese laws and regulations, the Grantee is required to appoint an agent and maintain a non-resident offshore account in Japan with respect to the Common Shares to be acquired upon exercise of the Options. The Grantee hereby agrees that it shall, through the Company, entrust the custody, management and disposal of such Common Shares (the Services) to a securities company or bank (the Securities Company); provided, however, that the Grantee shall retain the right to determine and to direct the Securities Company to sell, transfer or dispose of all or any portion of the Common Shares on the Grantee’s behalf and the Securities Company may not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Common Shares without the Grantee’s prior approval. The Company shall determine and appoint such Securities Company (or change such appointment) in its absolute discretion and notify the Grantee of such appointment (or change in such appointment) in accordance with Clause 15.

11.2       Following the Grant Date and prior to the exercise of the Options the Grantee is required to open an account in the Grantee’s name at the Securities Company and follow the necessary procedures set out separately by the Company in order to enable the Securities Company to perform the Services.

12.1       The existence of the Options shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its shareholders to make or authorize any Reorganization or other adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or change in the Company’s capital structure, or any merger, corporate split, share-for-share exchange or consolidation of the Company, or any issue of shares, bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stocks ahead of or convertible into, or otherwise affecting the Common Shares of the Company or the rights attaching thereto, or any other securities or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

 

 

 

 

---

 

12.2       The grant of Options under this Agreement or future agreement is a voluntary and discretionary benefit and does not create any entitlement to options or shares in the future, even in the case of repeated grants of options.

12.3       The Grantee shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Common Shares issuable upon exercise of an Option until receipt by the Company of payment of the Exercising Purchase Price for such Common Shares and no adjustment shall be made for dividends or distributions or other rights in respect of any Common Share for which the record date is prior to the date on which the Grantee pays the Exercising Purchase Price therefor. The Grantee acknowledges that no member of the Group has any duty to disclose confidential information to the Grantee that is not generally available to holders of Common Shares.

12.4       The Board shall have the right to interpret the provisions of this Agreement and to make all rules and determinations which it deems necessary or desirable for the administration of this Agreement. The decisions of the Board or, in the case of matters requiring shareholder approval, resolutions of the shareholders meeting (whichever is applicable), including without limitation all calculations required hereunder, shall be final and binding with respect to all matters relating to this Agreement and the Options.

12.5       Clauses 6.2, 7, 8, 9, 10, 14, 15, 17 and 19 shall continue and remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the exercise of all the Options by the Grantee.

13.	TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT

13.1       If, by reason of imposition of Taxation Liabilities or a change in the applicable laws or regulations, this Agreement is rendered illegal or otherwise unenforceable or undesirable, the Grantee may, before the Grantee has paid the Exercising Purchase Price in respect of the first exercise of the Options, terminate this Agreement with retroactive effect from the Grant Date by giving written notice in the form attached in Appendix 3 (or as otherwise prescribed by the Company from time to time); provided that Clauses 7, 9, 10, 14.1, 15, 17 and 19 shall continue and remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement.

13.2       If, by reason of imposition of Taxation Liabilities or a change in the applicable laws or regulations, this Agreement is rendered illegal or otherwise unenforceable or undesirable and the Grantee has exercised one or more Options, the Grantee may at any time during the Exercise Period, in respect of any outstanding Options, terminate this Agreement without retroactive application by giving written notice in the form attached in Appendix 3 (or as otherwise prescribed by the Company from time to time); provided that Clauses 6.2, 7, 8, 9, 10, 14, 15, 17 and 19 shall continue and remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement.

14.	CLAIMS AGAINST THE COMPANY

14.1       Subject to Clause 14.2 below, the Grantee shall not make any claim against any member of the Group or any of its respective directors, officers, shareholders, affiliates, representatives, auditors or employees for any compensation whatsoever in connection with this Agreement.

 

 

 

---

 

14.2       If, following delivery by the Grantee to the Company of an Exercise Notice, the Company fails or delays, wilfully or due to its gross negligence, to deliver the Common Shares to the Grantee within 30 Company Business Days, and as a direct result of such failure or delay the Grantee suffers damage or loss, the Grantee may claim compensation limited to the difference between the Exercising Purchase Price, which was paid by the Grantee to the Company, and the aggregate market price of the Common Shares at the time of acquisition by the Grantee, if the Exercising Purchase Price is higher than the aggregate market price of the Common Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, refusal by the Company to accept the exercise by the Grantee of the Options pursuant to Clause 3.10 shall not be grounds for compensation under this Clause 14.

14.3       If the Grantee exercises Options or disposes of Common Shares in breach of any provisions of this Agreement, the Grantee shall, upon the Company’s request, refund the greater of:

(b)	the entire profit which the Grantee makes by the disposal of the Common Shares.

If either (a) or (b) above applies, the Grantee shall make such refund promptly in accordance with the Company’s instructions.

APPENDIX 1

ADJUSTMENTS (ENGLISH TRANSLATION)

Note: The following is an English translation of the terms and conditions applying to the treatment of the Options in the event of a share split, share consolidation, issue of new Common Shares or disposal of Common Shares held in treasury by the Company, which were approved at the Company’s shareholders’ meeting and the Board meeting on June 23, 2005. This is not a literal translation and it is provided for reference only. The original of such terms and conditions in the Japanese language will prevail in all circumstances. All references to dates in the following translation are to Tokyo time.

1.1          If the Company splits or consolidates its Common Shares after the Grant Date, the number of Common Shares to be issued/transferred in satisfaction of the exercise of an Option (the Adjusted Number of Shares) shall be adjusted in accordance with the following formula, provided, however, that such adjustment shall be made only with respect to Options that have not yet been exercised at the time of such share split or share consolidation. The Adjusted Number of Shares shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Common Share.

 

 

The Company shall promptly notify the Grantee in writing of the Adjusted Number of Shares in the event of a share split or share consolidation by the Company.

1.2          If the Company splits or consolidates its Common Shares, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted in accordance with the following formula:

 

 

The Adjusted Exercise Price shall be rounded up to the nearest whole Yen.

1.3          The “Pre-adjusted Exercise Price” used in the formula in Clause 1.2 above shall be the Exercise Price effective on the day prior to the date on which the Adjusted Exercise Price is applied pursuant to 1.4 below.

1.4	The Adjusted Exercise Price shall be applied as follows:

(a)	if the Company splits its Common Shares, the Adjusted Exercise Price shall be applied from the date following the allotment date (wariate-bi) of the split shares; or

 

 

 

---

 

1.5          Where the Board decides that Common Shares will be issued pursuant to a share split in exchange for a capitalization of distributable profits, and the allotment date of the split shares is specified as being a date prior to the date of the shareholders’ meeting at which such capitalization is approved, from the day following such shareholders’ meeting, the Adjusted Exercise Price shall be applied retroactively with effect from the day following the date of allotment of the split shares. In such case, a number of additional Common Shares calculated in accordance with the following formula shall be issued/transferred to any Grantee who exercises an Option during the period between the date following the allotment date of the split shares and the date of the shareholders’ meeting at which the capitalization of distributable profits is approved (the Interim Period):

 

 

The number of additional Common Shares accordingly issued or transferred to the Grantee shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Common Share.

2.1          If the Company disposes of Common Shares held in treasury (Treasury Shares) or issues new Common Shares for an amount which is less than the then current market price from and including August 1, 2005 (excluding all instances where options, warrants or other rights to acquire shares of the Company are exercised or where the Company transfers its Treasury Shares in accordance with a resolution of a shareholders’ meeting pursuant to paragraph 2 of Article 210-2 of the former Commercial Code), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted in accordance with the following formula:

 

 

 

 

 

 

---

 

 

The Adjusted Exercise Price shall be rounded up to the nearest whole Yen.

2.2          The “Pre-adjusted Exercise Price” used in the formula in Clause 2.1 above shall be the Exercise Price on the day prior to the date on which the Adjusted Exercise Price is applied.

2.3          The “Number of issued and outstanding Common Shares” used in the formula in Clause 2.1 above shall be the total number of issued and outstanding Common Shares on the allotment date of the new Common Shares being issued or the date on which the Treasury Shares are disposed, whichever is applicable (for the avoidance of doubt, it does not include Treasury Shares). If such date is not specified, the “Number of issued and outstanding Common Shares” shall be the total number of issued and outstanding Common Shares on the date one month prior to the date on which the Adjusted Exercise Price is applied; provided that where two or more events, which require the adjustment of the Exercise Price, occur within a short period of time of each other and the number of issued and outstanding Common Shares which is used in calculating the Adjusted Exercise Price triggered by one of those events can be calculated appropriately, such number of issued and outstanding shares shall be used.

2.4          The “Current market price per Common Share” used in the formula in Clause 2.1 above shall be the average daily closing price in Yen (including the trend quotations) of the Company’s Common Shares on the Tokyo Stock Exchange for the 30 day period starting on the 45^th dealing day before the date on which the Adjusted Exercise Price is applied, excluding any days on which the closing price is not reported. The average daily closing price shall be calculated by disregarding the third and successive decimal places of such number and then correcting the resulting number to one decimal place.

2.5          The Adjusted Exercise Price calculated in accordance with the formula in Clause 2.1 above shall be applied from the date following the date of disposal of Treasury Shares or the allotment date of the Common Shares to be issued if such date is specified, or from the date following the payment date for the Common Shares to be issued or Treasury Shares to be disposed.

2.6          When calculating the Adjusted Exercise Price in accordance with the formula in Clause 2.1, each of the numbers to be inserted in the formula shall be calculated by disregarding the second and successive decimal places of such number.

3.1          If the difference between the Adjusted Exercise Price and the Pre-adjusted Exercise Price is less than one Yen, the Exercise Price shall not be adjusted on that occasion; provided, however, that the exact Adjusted Exercise Price originally calculated in accordance with the formula set out in Clause 1 or 2 above shall be used as the Pre-adjusted Exercise Price on the subsequent occasion that an adjustment occurs.

 

 

 

---

 

3.2          Except as otherwise provided in Clauses 1 or 2 above, the Company shall adjust the Exercise Price, as the Company considers appropriate:

If the Exercise Price is adjusted, the Company shall issue an individual notice to the Grantee prior to the date that the Adjusted Exercise Price is applied as specified in Clause 1 or 2 above; provided, however, that in the event of a share split as set out in Clause 1.5 above or where the Company is unable to issue an individual notice prior to the date that the Adjusted Exercise Price is applied, the Company shall issue an individual notice to the Grantee promptly after such date.
