the gConvertible Securitiesh) or rights to request the delivery of the Common Stock by the Company (including share acquisition rights incorporated in bonds issued by the Company; the gShare Acquisition Rightsh) at a price less than the Current Market Price that would be used in the Acquisition Price Adjustment Formula, the Acquisition Price shall be adjusted to be the Acquisition Price After Adjustment computed in accordance with the Acquisition Price Adjustment Formula in Section 16(2)(C)(a) I, and such Acquisition Price After Adjustment will become effective, where the right to

exercise price per share, then such Acquisition Price After Adjustment will become effective as of the date immediately following the date on which the acquisition price of such issued Convertible Securities or the exercise price of such issued Share Acquisition Rights is fixed.  In case that the acquisition price of such issued Convertible Securities or the exercise price of such issued Share Acquisition Rights is not fixed as of the payment date of such Convertible Securities or the allotment date of such Share Acquisition Rights (or, in the case of a free of charge allotment of Share Acquisition Rights, the Record Date therefor if specified, or the effective date thereof if no Record Date is specified), and such issued Convertible Securities or Share Acquisition Rights have a

Securities or Share Acquisition Rights are granted to shareholders, as of the date immediately following the Record Date specified for such allotment, or, in all other cases, as of the date immediately following the payment date of such Convertible Securities or the allotment date of such Share Acquisition Rights (or, in the case of a free of charge allotment of Share Acquisition Rights, as of the date immediately following the Record Date if specified, or the effective date thereof if no Record Date is specified) and such Convertible Securities or Share Acquisition Rights will be deemed to be delivered in exchange for the maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon such exercise of the right to request acquisition or the occurrence of any of the events set out in the provisions for acquisition, or the exercise of the Share Acquisition Rights at the lowest initial acquisition price or exercise price per share (without taking into account any anti-dilution

the acquisition or the occurrence of any of the events set out in the provisions for acquisition with respect to such Convertible Securities, or exercise of the Share Acquisition Rights, including but not limited to, a change resulting from the anti-dilution provisions thereof, then immediately prior to the exercise of the right to request acquisition with respect to Each Series Preferred Stock, the Acquisition Price After Adjustment shall be recomputed to reflect such changes (provided, however, that no resulting increase in the Acquisition Price After Adjustment may be made unless there was a previous decrease in the Acquisition Price After Adjustment as a result of the issuance or deemed issuance of those Convertible Securities or Share Acquisition Rights due to adjustments or recomputations as provided for in this (iii) and, in the case where any previous decrease exists, no resulting increase in the Acquisition Price After Adjustment may exceed the amount of any such decrease), but no further recomputations shall be made for the actual delivery of Common Stock or any payment of consideration upon exercise of the right to request acquisition or the occurrence of any of the events set out in the provisions for acquisition of such Convertible Securities, or the exercise of the Share Acquisition Rights.  If there is a subsequent expiration of any rights to request acquisition or any of the events set out in the provisions for acquisition with respect to such Convertible Securities, or any Share Acquisition Rights, then immediately prior to the exercise of the right to request acquisition with respect to Each Series Preferred Stock, the Acquisition Price After Adjustment shall be recomputed to reflect the delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered upon exercise of the right to request acquisition or the occurrence of any of the events set out in the provisions for acquisition with respect to such Convertible Securities, or the exercise of the Share Acquisition Rights.

   All Convertible Securities and Share Acquisition Rights that are outstanding at the time of issuance of Each Series Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been issued on the date immediately following the issue date of Each Series Preferred Stock.

 

(iii) In the event that the Company issues securities with rights to request the acquisition of such securities by the Company or with provisions entitling the Company to acquire such securities in exchange for Common Stock (excluding any other series of Each Series Preferred Stock to be issued at the same time of issuance of this series of Each Series Preferred Stock; hereinafter referred to as the gConvertible Securitiesh) or rights to request the delivery of the Common Stock by the Company (including share acquisition rights incorporated in bonds issued by the Company; the gShare Acquisition Rightsh) at a price less than the Current Market Price that would be used in the Acquisition Price Adjustment Formula, the Acquisition Price shall be adjusted to be the Acquisition Price After Adjustment computed in accordance with the Acquisition Price Adjustment Formula in Section 16(2)(C)(a) I, and such Acquisition Price After Adjustment will become effective, where the right to receive an allotment of the Convertible Securities or Share Acquisition Rights are granted to shareholders with specified Record Date, as of the date immediately following such Record Date, or, in all other cases, as of the date immediately following the payment date of such Convertible Securities or the allotment date of such Share Acquisition Rights (or, in the case of a free of charge allotment of Share Acquisition Rights, as of the date immediately following the Record Date therefor if specified, or the effective date thereof if no Record Date is specified).  In the case of issuance of such Convertible Securities or Share Acquisition Rights, the Acquisition Price After Adjustment shall be calculated on the assumption that the total number of the issued Convertible Securities are acquired in exchange for the delivery of the Common Stock or all the issued Share Acquisition Rights are exercised on the date immediately preceding the date on which the Acquisition Price After Adjustment becomes effective.  However, in the case that the acquisition price of such issued Convertible Securities or the exercise price of such issued Share Acquisition Rights is not fixed as of the payment date of such Convertible Securities or the allotment date of such Share Acquisition Rights (or, in the case of a free of charge allotment of Share Acquisition Rights, the Record Date therefor if specified, or the effective date thereof if no Record Date is specified), and such issued Convertible Securities or Share Acquisition Rights do not have a fixed lowest initial acquisition price or exercise price per share, then such Acquisition Price After Adjustment will become effective as of the date immediately following the date on which the acquisition price of such issued Convertible Securities or the exercise price of such issued Share Acquisition Rights is fixed.  In case that the acquisition price of such issued Convertible Securities or the exercise price of such issued Share Acquisition Rights is not fixed as of the payment date of such Convertible Securities or the allotment date of such Share Acquisition Rights (or, in the case of a free of charge allotment of Share Acquisition Rights, the Record Date therefor if specified, or the effective date thereof if no Record Date is specified), and such issued Convertible Securities or Share Acquisition Rights have a fixed lowest initial acquisition price or exercise price per share, then such Acquisition Price After Adjustment will become effective, where the right to receive an allotment of the Convertible Securities or Share Acquisition Rights are granted to shareholders, as of the date immediately following the Record Date specified for such allotment, or, in all other cases, as of the date immediately following the payment date of such Convertible Securities or the allotment date of such Share Acquisition Rights (or, in the case of a free of charge allotment of Share Acquisition Rights, as of the date immediately following the Record Date if specified, or the effective date thereof if no Record Date is specified) and such Convertible Securities or Share Acquisition Rights will be deemed to be delivered in exchange for the maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon such exercise of the right to request acquisition or the occurrence of any of the events set out in the provisions for acquisition, or the exercise of the Share Acquisition Rights at the lowest initial acquisition price or exercise price per share (without taking into account any anti-dilution adjustments).  If there is a subsequent change in the maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable, or in the minimum acquisition price or exercise price, upon exercise of the right to request the acquisition or the occurrence of any of the events set out in the provisions for acquisition with respect to such Convertible Securities, or exercise of the Share Acquisition Rights, including but not limited to, a change resulting from the anti-dilution provisions thereof, then immediately prior to the exercise of the right to request acquisition with respect to Each Series Preferred Stock, the Acquisition Price After Adjustment shall be recomputed to reflect such changes (provided, however, that no resulting increase in the Acquisition Price After Adjustment may be made unless there was a previous decrease in the Acquisition Price After Adjustment as a result of the issuance or deemed issuance of those Convertible Securities or Share Acquisition Rights due to adjustments or recomputations as provided for in this (iii) and, in the case where any previous decrease exists, no resulting increase in the Acquisition Price After Adjustment may exceed the amount of any such decrease), but no further recomputations shall be made for the actual delivery of Common Stock or any payment of consideration upon exercise of the right to request acquisition or the occurrence of any of the events set out in the provisions for acquisition of such Convertible Securities, or the exercise of the Share Acquisition Rights.  If there is a subsequent expiration of any rights to request acquisition or any of the events set out in the provisions for acquisition with respect to such Convertible Securities, or any Share Acquisition Rights, then immediately prior to the exercise of the right to request acquisition with respect to Each Series Preferred Stock, the Acquisition Price After Adjustment shall be recomputed to reflect the delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered upon exercise of the right to request acquisition or the occurrence of any of the events set out in the provisions for acquisition with respect to such Convertible
