The aggregate principal amount of the Notes is 2,268,000,000 Japanese Yen (approximately US $20 million), bearing a 2.59% interest rate per annum, with interest payable semi-annually beginning on March 28, 2008. The final maturity date of the Notes is September 28, 2017 and principal prepayments are required annually beginning on September 28, 2011 in equal installments of 324,000,000 Japanese Yen.
