Notice of Modifications to the Articles of Incorporation


We inform you that the board of directors met on May 11, 2006 and resolved that our company will take up the following modifications to the Articles of Incorporation at the 145th annual meeting of stockholders to be held on June 27, 2006.


1. Reasons for modifications
(1) These modifications will be made because the "Company Law" (Item 86, Law in 2005), the "Company Law Enforcement Regulations" (Item 12, Justice Ministry Ordinance in 2006), and "Company Calculation Regulations" (Item 13, Justice Ministry Ordinance in 2006) were put into force on May 1, 2006.
(a) The names of the company's organizations will be newly defined, as drafted in Article 4, and the issuance of stock certificates will be newly defined, as drafted in Article 7, because the "Company Law" requires them to be included in the Articles of Incorporation. "Chapter 6. Accounting Auditors" will be newly established, along with the establishment of draft Article 4, in order to newly define the regulations for accounting auditors, as drafted in Articles 33 and 34.
(b) To limit the rights of stockholders of odd stocks to reasonable scope, regulations for the exercisable rights of odd stocks will be newly defined, as drafted in Article 10.
(c) To clarify the locations of where to hold the stockholder meetings, Clause 2 will be added to the existing Article 12 to provide for the necessary regulations.
(d) To make it possible, through disclosure on the Internet, to offer information on items to be mentioned or indicated in reference and other documents for the stockholder meetings, the necessary regulations will be newly defined, as drafted in Article 17.
(e) To clarify the number of proxies who can exercise voting rights, necessary modifications will be made to the existing Article 15.
(f) Conditions that are equivalent to resolutions made by the board of directors will be newly defined, as drafted in Article 25 in preparation for the flexible and efficient operation of the board of directors.
(g) Generally, the wording of other descriptions will be changed according to the articles and clauses in the "Company Law."
(2) The number of articles will be adjusted, based on the establishment and deletion of the regulations in (1) above.
(3) In general, the configuration or forms of the articles and clauses will be arranged, including new clause numbers and format changes in item numbers.
