that day, then the closing price of the latest date prior to such
day, on which a transaction was made) multiplied by 1.025. Any
fractions less than one yen resulting from such calculation shall
be rounded up to the nearest yen. In any event, the Exercise
Price to be calculated in accordance with the above formula shall
not be less than JPY 3,511.
The number of Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Warrants

Aggregate Denominated Amount of the

Exercise Price
Any fraction of a share arising upon exercise of Warrants shall

the Warrants cease to be exercisable when the Bonds become due
and payable.
(6) Partial exercise of a Warrant:

companies is restricted pursuant to their agreements with such
related companies.
(9) The portion of the Exercise Price which shall not be accounted for as
stated capital:
The portion of the Exercise Price which shall not be accounted for
as stated capital shall be the amount of such Exercise Price as
adjusted less the amount which will be accounted for as stated
capital; the amount to be accounted for as stated capital shall be
one-half of such Exercise Price as adjusted and any fraction less
than one yen resulting from such calculation shall be rounded up
to the nearest yen; provided, however, that if the shares to be
issued shall be par value shares of common stock of TMC and the
amount to be accounted for as stated capital resulting from above
calculation shall be less than the par value of the par value
shares, the amount to be accounted for as stated capital shall be
the par value of the par value shares of common stock of TMC.
