In case a differential between the conversion price after adjustment calculated by the Conversion Price Adjustment Formula and the conversion price before adjustment is less than one thousand (1,000) yen, no adjustment shall be made; provided, however, that in case any event occurs thereafter that would require adjustment of the conversion price and calculation of conversion price need be made, the conversion price before adjustment minus such differential shall be applied to the conversion price before adjustment in the Conversion Price Adjustment Formula. D. Number of Ordinary Shares to be issued upon conversion: The number of Ordinary Shares to be issued upon conversion of the Preferred Shares shall be determined in accordance with the following formula: Number of Preferred Number of Ordinary = Shares delivered for Shares to be issued conversion by X Two million (2,000,000) yen upon conversion Preferred Shareholders ----------------------------------- Conversion price
