The Company will pay all other charges and expenses of the Depositary and any agent of the Depositary (except the Custodian) pursuant to agreements from time to time between the Company and the Depositary, except (i) stock transfer or other taxes and other governmental charges (which are payable by Holders or persons depositing Stock), (ii) cable, telex and facsimile transmission and delivery charges incurred at the request of persons depositing, or Holders delivering Stock, ADRs or Deposited Securities (which are payable by such persons or Holders), (iii) transfer or registration fees for the registration or transfer of Deposited Securities on any applicable register in connection with the deposit or withdrawal of Deposited Securities (which are payable by persons depositing Stock or Holders withdrawing Deposited Securities; there are no such fees in respect of the Stock as of the date of the Deposit Agreement), and (iv) in connection with the conversion of foreign currency into U.S. dollars, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”) shall deduct out of such foreign currency the fees, expenses and other charges charged by it and/or its agent (which may be a division, branch or affiliate) so appointed  in connection with such conversion.

The Depositary anticipates reimbursing the Company for certain expenses incurred by the Company that are related to the establishment and maintenance of the ADR program upon such terms and conditions as the Company and the Depositary may agree from time to time.  The Depositary may make available to the Company a set amount or a portion of the Depositary fees charged in respect of the ADR program or otherwise upon such terms and conditions as the Company and the Depositary may agree from time to time.  

The right of the Depositary to receive payment of fees, charges and expenses as provided above shall survive the termination of the Deposit Agreement. As to any Depositary, upon the resignation or removal of such Depositary, such right shall extend for those fees, charges and expenses incurred prior to the effectiveness of such resignation or removal.

J.P.Morgan

SECTION 3.07.      The third sentence of paragraph (8) of the form of ADR and all outstanding ADRs is amended to read as follows:

Upon effectiveness of the termination of the Company’s reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company shall publish information in English required to maintain the exemption from registration under Rule 12g3-2(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on its Internet Web site (www.nidec.com) or through an electronic information delivery system generally available to the public in its primary trading market. The Company represents that as of the date of the Deposit Agreement, the statements in the previous sentence of this paragraph (8) with respect to the exemption from registration under Rule 12g3-2(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, are true and correct.  The Company agrees to promptly notify the Depositary and all Holders in the event of any change in the truth of any such statements.  The Depositary does not assume any duty to determine if the Company is complying with the current requirements of Rule 12g3-2(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or to take any action if the Company is not complying with those requirements.

SECTION 3.08.      Subsection (a)(iii) of paragraph (10) of the form of ADR and all outstanding ADRs is amended by replacing "the Depositary's expenses" with "the Depositary's and/or its agents' fees and expenses".

The Depositary reserves the right to utilize a division, branch or affiliate of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. to direct, manage and/or execute any public and/or private sale of securities hereunder.  Such division, branch and/or affiliate may charge the Depositary a fee in connection with such sales, which fee is considered an expense of the Depositary contemplated above and/or under paragraph (7) hereof.  All purchases and sales of securities will be handled by the Depositary in accordance with its then current policies, which are currently set forth in the "Depositary Receipt Sale and Purchase of Security" section of https://www.adr.com/Investors/FindOutAboutDRs, the location and contents of which the Depositary shall be solely responsible for.

J.P.Morgan

SECTION 3.10.      Paragraphs (12), (13) and (14) of the form of ADR and all outstanding ADRs are amended to read as follows:

(12)  Voting of Deposited Securities.  As soon as practicable after receipt from the Company of notice of any meeting or solicitation of consents or proxies of holders of Stock or other Deposited Securities, but only if requested to do so in writing by the Company, the Depositary shall distribute to Holders a notice stating (a) such information as is contained in such notice and any solicitation materials, (b) that each Holder on the record date set by the Depositary therefor will, subject to any applicable provisions of Japanese law, be entitled to instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights, if any, pertaining to the Deposited Securities represented by the ADSs evidenced by such Holder's ADRs and (c) the manner in which such instructions may be given, including instructions to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by the Company.  Upon actual receipt by the ADR department of the Depositary of instructions of a Holder on such record date in the manner and on or before the time established by the Depositary for such purpose, the Depositary shall endeavor insofar as practicable and permitted under applicable law and the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation and Share Handling Regulations of the Company and the provisions of or governing Deposited Securities to vote or cause to be voted the Deposited Securities represented by the ADSs evidenced by such Holder's ADRs in accordance with such instructions.  The Depositary will not itself exercise any voting discretion in respect of any Deposited Securities.  Subject to the next paragraph, if no instructions are received by the Depositary from any Holder with respect to any of the Deposited Securities represented by the ADSs evidenced by such Holder's ADRs on or before the date established by the Depositary for such purpose, the Depositary shall deem such Holder to have instructed the Depositary to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by the Company with respect to such Deposited Securities and the Depositary shall give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by the Company to vote such Deposited Securities, provided, that no such instruction shall be given with respect to any matter as to which the Company informs the Depositary (and the Company agrees to provide such information as promptly as practicable in writing) that (x) the Company does not wish such proxy given, (y) substantial opposition exists or (z) such matter materially and adversely affects the rights of holders of Stock. Neither the Depositary nor its agents are responsible for the effect of any vote.

The Depositary, its agents and the Company may rely and shall be protected in acting upon any written notice, request, direction, instruction or document believed by them to be genuine and to have been signed, presented or given by the proper party or parties. The Depositary shall be under no obligation to inform Holders or any other holders of an interest in any ADSs about the requirements of Japanese law, rules or regulations or any changes therein or thereto.

By holding an ADS or an interest therein, Holders and owners of ADSs each irrevocably agree that any legal suit, action or proceeding against or involving the Company or the Depositary, arising out of or based upon the Deposit Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, may only be instituted in a state or federal court in New York, New York, and by holding an ADS or an interest therein each irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such proceeding, and irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding.

AMERICAN DEPOSITARY SHARES

representing

COMMON STOCK

of

NIDEC CORPORATION

(Incorporated under the laws of Japan)

JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., a national banking association organized under the laws of the United States of America, as depositary hereunder (the "Depositary"), hereby certifies that  is the registered owner (a "Holder") of  American Depositary Shares ("ADSs"), each (subject to paragraph (13)) representing one-quarter of one share of common stock (including the rights to receive Stock described in paragraph (1), "Stock" and, together with any other securities, cash or property from time to time held by the Depositary in respect or in lieu of deposited Stock, the "Deposited Securities"), of Nidec Corporation, a corporation organized under the laws of Japan (the "Company"), deposited under the Amended and Restated Deposit Agreement dated as of February 21, 2012 (as amended from time to time, the "Deposit Agreement") among the Company, the Depositary and all Holders from time to time of American Depositary Receipts issued thereunder ("ADRs"), each of whom by accepting an ADR becomes a party thereto.  The Deposit Agreement and this ADR (which includes the provisions set forth on the reverse hereof) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

(1)  Issuance of ADRs; Pre-Release.  This ADR is one of the ADRs issued under the Deposit Agreement.  Subject to paragraph (4), the Depositary may so issue ADRs for delivery at the Transfer Office (defined in paragraph (3)) only against deposit of:  (a) Stock in form satisfactory to the Custodian; (b) rights to receive Stock from the Company or any registrar, transfer agent, clearing agent or other entity recording Stock ownership or transactions; or, (c) in accordance with the next paragraph of this paragraph (1).

J.P.Morgan

In its capacity as Depositary, the Depositary shall not lend Stock or ADSs; provided, however, that the Depositary may (i) issue ADSs prior to the receipt of Stock and (ii) deliver Stock prior to the receipt of ADSs for withdrawal of Deposited Securities, including ADSs which were issued under (i) above but for which Stock may not have been received (each such transaction a "Pre-Release"). The Depositary may receive ADSs in lieu of Stock under (i) above (which ADSs will promptly be canceled by the Depositary upon receipt by the Depositary) and receive Stock in lieu of ADSs under (ii) above. Each such Pre-Release will be subject to a written agreement whereby the person or entity (the "Applicant") to whom ADSs or Stock are to be delivered (a) represents that at the time of the Pre-Release the Applicant or its customer owns the Stock or ADSs that are to be delivered by the Applicant under such Pre-Release, (b) agrees to indicate the Depositary as owner of such Stock or ADSs in its records and to hold such Stock or ADSs in trust for the Depositary until such Stock or ADSs are delivered to the Depositary or the Custodian, (c) unconditionally guarantees to deliver to the Depositary or the Custodian, as applicable, such Stock or ADSs, and (d) agrees to any additional restrictions or requirements that the Depositary deems appropriate. Each such Pre-Release will be at all times fully collateralized with cash, U.S. government securities or such other collateral as the Depositary deems appropriate, terminable by the Depositary on not more than five (5) business days' notice and subject to such further indemnities and credit regulations as the Depositary deems appropriate. The Depositary will normally limit the number of ADSs and Stock involved in such Pre-Release at any one time to thirty percent (30%) of the ADSs outstanding (without giving effect to ADSs outstanding under (i) above), provided, however, that the Depositary reserves the right to change or disregard such limit from time to time as it deems appropriate. The Depositary may also set limits with respect to the number of ADSs and Stock involved in Pre-Release with any one person on a case-by-case basis as it deems appropriate. The Depositary may retain for its own account any compensation received by it in conjunction with the foregoing. Collateral provided in connection with Pre-Release transactions, but not the earnings thereon, shall be held for the benefit of the Holders (other than the Applicant).

Every person depositing Stock under the Deposit Agreement represents and warrants that (a) such Stock is and the certificates therefor are duly authorized, validly issued and outstanding, fully paid, nonassessable and legally obtained by such person (b) all pre-emptive and comparable rights, if any, with respect to such shares of Stock have been validly waived or exercised, (c) the person making such deposit is duly authorized so to do, (d) the shares of Stock presented for deposit are free and clear of any lien, encumbrance, security interest, charge, mortgage or adverse claim and (e) such Shares (A) are not "restricted securities" as such term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933 ("Restricted Securities") unless at the time of deposit the requirements of paragraphs (c), (e), (f) and (h) of Rule 144 shall not apply and such Stock may be freely transferred and may otherwise be offered and sold freely in the United States or (B) have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933. To the extent the person depositing Stock is an "affiliate" of the Company as such term is defined in Rule 144, the person also represents and warrants that upon the sale of the ADSs, all of the provisions of Rule 144 which enable the Stock to be freely sold (in the form of ADSs) will be fully complied with and, as a result thereof, all of the ADSs issued in respect of such Stock will not be on the sale thereof, Restricted Securities.  Such representations and warranties shall survive the deposit and withdrawal of Shares and the issuance and cancellation of ADSs in respect thereof and the transfer of such ADSs.  The Depositary will not knowingly accept for deposit under the Deposit Agreement any Stock required to be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and not so registered; the Depositary may refuse to accept for such deposit any Stock identified by the Company in order to facilitate the Company's compliance with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 or the Rules made thereunder.

(2)  Withdrawal of Deposited Securities.  Subject to paragraphs (4) and (5), upon surrender of (i) a certificated ADR in a form satisfactory to the Depositary at the Transfer Office or (ii) proper instructions and documentation in the case of a Direct Registration ADR, the Holder hereof is entitled to delivery at, or to the extent in dematerialized form from, the Custodian's office of the Deposited Securities at the time represented by the ADSs evidenced by this ADR, provided that the Depositary may deliver Stock prior to the receipt of ADSs for withdrawal of Deposited Securities, including ADSs which were issued under (1) above but for which Stock may not have been received (until such ADSs are actually deposited, "Pre-released Stock") only if all the  conditions in (1) above related to such Pre-Release are satisfied).  At the request, risk and expense of the Holder hereof, the Depositary may deliver such Deposited Securities at such other place as may have been requested by the Holder.  Upon surrender of an ADR or ADRs by a Holder to the Depositary, as a result of, and to the extent required by, the operation of applicable provisions of the Japanese Commercial Code, the Depositary will effect the delivery to such Holder of only that portion of Stock (and any other Deposited Securities relating to such Stock) comprising a Unit or an integral multiple thereof (the "deliverable portion" of such ADR or ADRs).  As of the date of the Deposit Agreement, a Unit is comprised of 100 Shares of Stock.  For the purpose of the foregoing sentence, the deliverable portion shall be determined on the basis of the aggregate number of Shares of Stock represented by the entire amount of the ADSs evidenced by the ADR or ADRs surrendered by the same Holder at the same time.  The Depositary will promptly advise such Holder as to the amount of Stock and Deposited Securities, if any, represented by the non-deliverable portion of such ADR or ADRs and shall deliver to such Holder a new ADR evidencing such non-deliverable portion.  In addition, the Depositary shall notify such Holder of the additional amount of ADSs which such Holder would be required to surrender in order for the Depositary to effect delivery of all the Stock and Deposited Securities represented by the ADSs of such Holder. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Deposit Agreement or this ADR, the withdrawal of Deposited Securities may be restricted only for the reasons set forth in General Instruction I.A.(1) of Form F-6 (as such instructions may be amended from time to time) under the Securities Act of 1933.

J.P.Morgan

(3)  Transfers of ADRs.  The Depositary or its agent will keep, at a designated transfer office (the "Transfer Office"), (a) a register (the "ADR Register") for the registration, registration of transfer, combination and split-up of ADRs, and, in the case of Direct Registration ADRs, shall include the Direct Registration System, which at all reasonable times will be open for inspection by Holders and the Company for the purpose of communicating with Holders in the interest of the business of the Company or a matter relating to the Deposit Agreement and (b) facilities for the delivery and receipt of ADRs. The term ADR Register includes the Direct Registration System.   Title to this ADR (and to the Deposited Securities represented by the ADSs evidenced hereby), when properly endorsed (in the case of ADRs in certificated form) or upon  delivery to the Depositary of proper instruments of transfer, is transferable by delivery with the same effect as in the case of negotiable instruments under the laws of the State of New York; provided that the Depositary, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, may treat the person in whose name this ADR is registered on the ADR Register as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes and neither the Depositary nor the Company will have any obligation or be subject to any liability under the Deposit Agreement to any holder of an ADR, unless such holder is the Holder thereof.  Subject to paragraphs (4) and (5), this ADR is transferable on the ADR Register and may be split into other ADRs or combined with other ADRs into one ADR, evidencing the aggregate number of ADSs surrendered for split-up or combination, by the Holder hereof or by duly authorized attorney upon surrender of this ADR at the Transfer Office properly endorsed (in the case of ADRs in certificated form) or upon  delivery to the Depositary of proper instruments of transfer and duly stamped as may be required by applicable law; provided that the Depositary may close the ADR Register at any time or from time to time when deemed expedient by it or, in the case of the issuance book aspect of the ADR Register, when reasonably requested by the Company in order for the Company to comply with applicable law.  At the request of a Holder, the Depositary shall, for the purpose of substituting a certificated ADR with a Direct Registration ADR, or vice versa, execute and deliver a certificated ADR or a Direct Registration ADR, as the case may be, for any authorized number of ADSs requested, evidencing the same aggregate number of ADSs as those evidenced by the certificated ADR or Direct Registration ADR, as the case may be, substituted.

(4)  Certain Limitations.  Prior to the issue, registration, registration of transfer, split-up or combination of any ADR, the delivery of any distribution in respect thereof, or, subject to the last sentence of paragraph (2), the withdrawal of any Deposited Securities, and from time to time in the case of clause (b)(ii) of this paragraph (4), the Company, the Depositary or the Custodian may require:  (a) payment with respect thereto of (i) any stock transfer or other tax or other governmental charge, (ii) any stock transfer or registration fees in effect for the registration of transfers of Stock or other Deposited Securities upon any applicable register and (iii) any applicable charges as provided in paragraph (7) of this ADR; (b) the production of proof satisfactory to it of (i) the identity of any signatory and genuineness of any signature and (ii) such other information, including without limitation, information as to citizenship, residence, exchange control approval, beneficial ownership of any securities, compliance with applicable law, regulations, provisions of or governing Deposited Securities and terms of the Deposit Agreement and this ADR, as it may deem necessary or proper; and (c) compliance with such regulations as the Depositary may establish consistent with the Deposit Agreement.  The issuance of ADRs, the acceptance of deposits of Stock, the registration, registration of transfer, split-up or combination of ADRs or, subject to the last sentence of paragraph (2), the withdrawal of Deposited Securities may be suspended, generally or in particular instances, when the ADR Register or any register for Deposited Securities is closed or when any such action is deemed advisable by the Depositary.

(5)  Taxes.  If any tax or other governmental charges (including any penalties and/or interest) shall become payable by or on behalf of the Custodian or the Depositary with respect to this ADR, any Deposited Securities represented by the ADSs evidenced hereby or any distribution thereon, such tax or other governmental charge shall be paid by the Holder hereof to the Depositary and by holding or having held an ADR the Holder and all prior Holders hereof, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify, defend and save harmless each of the Depositary and its agents in respect thereof.  The Depositary may refuse to effect any registration, registration of transfer, split-up or combination hereof or, subject to the last sentence of paragraph (2), any withdrawal of such Deposited Securities until such payment is made.  The Depositary may also deduct from any distributions on or in respect of Deposited Securities, or may sell by public or private sale for the account of the Holder hereof any part or all of such Deposited Securities (after attempting by reasonable means to notify the Holder hereof prior to such sale), and may apply such deduction or the proceeds of any such sale in payment of such tax or other governmental charge, the Holder hereof remaining liable for any deficiency, and shall reduce the number of ADSs evidenced hereby to reflect any such sales of Stock. In connection with any distribution to Holders, the Company will remit to the appropriate governmental authority or agency all amounts (if any) required to be withheld and owing to such authority or agency by the Company; and the Depositary and the Custodian will remit to the appropriate governmental authority or agency all amounts (if any) required to be withheld and owing to such authority or agency by the Depositary or the Custodian.  If the Depositary determines that any distribution in property other than cash (including Stock or rights) on Deposited Securities is subject to any tax that the Depositary or the Custodian is obligated to withhold, the Depositary may dispose of all or a portion of such property in such amounts and in such manner as the Depositary deems necessary and practicable to pay such taxes, by public or private sale, and the Depositary shall distribute the net proceeds of any such sale or the balance of any such property after deduction of such taxes to the Holders entitled thereto. Each Holder of an ADR or an interest therein agrees to indemnify the Depositary, the Company, the Custodian and any of their respective officers,directors, employees, agents and affiliates against, and hold each of them harmless from, any claims by any governmental authority with respect to taxes, additions to tax, penalties or interest arising out of any refund of taxes, reduced rate of withholding at source or other tax benefit obtained.

(6) Disclosure of Interests.  (a) To the extent that the provisions of or governing any Deposited Securities may require disclosure of or impose limits on beneficial or other ownership of Deposited Securities, other Stock and other securities and may provide for blocking transfer, voting or other rights to enforce such disclosure or limits, Holders and all persons holding ADRs agree to comply with all such disclosure requirements and ownership limitations and to comply with any reasonable Company instructions in respect thereof. The Company reserves the right to instruct Holders to deliver their ADSs for cancellation and withdrawal of the Deposited Securities so as to permit the Company to deal directly with the Holder thereof as a holder of Stock and Holders agree to comply with such instructions.   The Depositary agrees to cooperate with the Company in its efforts to inform Holders of the Company's exercise of its rights under this paragraph and agrees to consult with, and provide reasonable assistance without risk, liability or expense on the part of the Depositary, to the Company on the manner or manners in which it may enforce such rights with respect to any Holder.

Without prejudice to the requirements of applicable law concerning disclosure of beneficial ownership of Shares of Stock, any Beneficial Owner (as defined below) of ADSs who becomes, or ceases to be, directly or indirectly, the Beneficial Owner of more than 5% of all outstanding Shares of Stock (whether such interest is held in whole or only in part through ADRs) shall, within five days (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays in Japan) following such event, send written notice to the Company at its principal office in Japan currently at Nidec Corporation, 338 Tonoshiro-cho, Kuze, Minami-ku, Kyoto 601-8205 Japan, containing the following information:

(ii)         the names, addresses and nationalities of any persons with whom such Beneficial Owner is acting as a partnership, limited partnership, syndicate or other group for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of a beneficial interest in Stock; and the number of Shares of Stock being acquired, held, voted or disposed of as a result of such association (being the total number held by such group).

Any Beneficial Owner of more than 5% of all outstanding Shares of Stock shall promptly notify the Company as provided above of any material change in the information previously notified, including, without limitation, a change of 1% or more of the percentage of total Stock to which the beneficial ownership relates.

As used herein, the "Beneficial Owner" of  Stock means a person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, trust, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise, has an interest in any Stock, including any Stock which underlie any ADS issued under the Deposit Agreement (including having the right to exercise or control the exercise of any right conferred by the holding of such Stock or the power to vote or to direct voting or the power to dispose or to direct disposition), and includes any Holder of an ADS.

(b)         Without prejudice to the requirements of applicable law and the provisions of the Company's Articles of Incorporation, any Beneficial Owner of Shares of Stock shall, if so requested in writing by the Company, provide such information with respect to the beneficial ownership of Stock (including not only Shares of Stock underlying ADSs, but also any other Stock in which such Beneficial Owner has an interest and including any security convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable for Stock) by such Beneficial Owner as is requested by the Company.  Such Beneficial Owner shall provide such information to the Company in writing within the time specified by the Company.

J.P.Morgan

As used herein, "Stock equivalent" means securities convertible into, exchangeable for Stock, bonds with stock acquisition rights and stock acquisition rights to acquire Stock, and the number of Shares of Stock attributable to such Share equivalent shall be the number of Shares of Stock into which such securities are convertible or exchangeable or which are acquired upon exercising the stock acquisition rights, at the conversion, exchange or exercise price or rate applicable at the time of determination of the relevant beneficial ownership.

In calculating the percentage ownership of the Beneficial Owner, the number of Shares of Stock which are issuable upon conversion or exchange of securities or upon exercise of the stock acquisition rights beneficially owned by the Beneficial Owner shall be added to both the numerator and the denominator of the fraction of which the numerator is the total number of Shares of Stock beneficially owned by the Beneficial Owner and the denominator of which is the total number of the outstanding Shares of Stock.

(c)             If the Company notifies the Depositary in writing that a particular Beneficial Owner has not complied with subsections (a) or (b) above, at the Company's written request, and so long as the Company has provided the Depositary with Beneficial Owner contact details, the Depositary shall instruct the Beneficial Owner to surrender its ADSs for cancellation so as to permit the Company to deal directly with such Beneficial Owner as a shareholder of the Company.  Holders and Beneficial Owners agree to comply with such requests.

(c) Rights.  (i) Warrants or other instruments in the discretion of the Depositary representing rights to acquire additional ADRs in respect of any rights to subscribe for additional Stock or rights of any nature available to the Depositary as a result of a distribution on Deposited Securities ("Rights"), to the extent that the Company timely furnishes to the Depositary evidence satisfactory to the Depositary that the Depositary may lawfully distribute the same (the Company has no obligation to so furnish such evidence), or (ii) to the extent the Company does not so furnish such evidence and sales of Rights are practicable, any U.S. dollars available to the Depositary from the net proceeds of sales of Rights as in the case of Cash, or (iii) to the extent the Company does not so furnish such evidence and such sales cannot practicably be accomplished by reason of the nontransferability of the Rights, limited markets therefor, their short duration or otherwise, nothing (and any Rights may lapse).  (d) Other Distributions.  (i) Securities or property available to the Depositary resulting from any distribution on Deposited Securities other than Cash, Stock Distributions and Rights  ("Other Distributions"), by any means that the Depositary may deem equitable and practicable, or (ii) to the extent the Depositary deems distribution of such securities or property not to be equitable and practicable, any U.S. dollars available to the Depositary from the net proceeds of sales of Other Distributions as in the case of Cash. Such U.S. dollars available will be distributed by checks drawn on a bank in the United States for whole dollars and cents.

(11)  Record Dates.  The Depositary may, after consultation with the Company if practicable, fix a record date (which, to the extent applicable, shall be as near as practicable to any corresponding record date set by the Company) for the determination of the Holders who shall be responsible for the fee assessed by the Depositary for administration of the ADR program and for any expenses provided for in paragraph (7) hereof as well as for the determination of the Holders who shall be entitled to receive any distribution on or in respect of Deposited Securities, to give instructions for the exercise of any voting rights, to receive any notice or to act in respect of other matters and only such Holders shall be so entitled or obligated.

(12)  Voting of Deposited Securities.  As soon as practicable after receipt from the Company of notice of any meeting or solicitation of consents or proxies of holders of Stock or other Deposited Securities, but only if requested to do so in writing by the Company, the Depositary shall distribute to Holders a notice stating (a) such information as is contained in such notice and any solicitation materials, (b) that each Holder on the record date set by the Depositary therefor will, subject to any applicable provisions of Japanese law, be entitled to instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights, if any, pertaining to the Deposited Securities represented by the ADSs evidenced by such Holder's ADRs and (c) the manner in which such instructions may be given, including instructions to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by the Company.  Upon actual receipt by the ADR department of the Depositary of instructions of a Holder on such record date in the manner and on or before the time established by the Depositary for such purpose, the Depositary shall endeavor insofar as practicable and permitted under applicable law and the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation and Share Handling Regulations of the Company and the provisions of or governing Deposited Securities to vote or cause to be voted the Deposited Securities represented by the ADSs evidenced by such Holder's ADRs in accordance with such instructions.  The Depositary will not itself exercise any voting discretion in respect of any Deposited Securities.  Subject to the next paragraph, if no instructions are received by the Depositary from any Holder with respect to any of the Deposited Securities represented by the ADSs evidenced by such Holder's ADRs on or before the date established by the Depositary for such purpose, the Depositary shall deem such Holder to have instructed the Depositary to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by the Company with respect to such Deposited Securities and the Depositary shall give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by the Company to vote such Deposited Securities, provided, that no such instruction shall be given with respect to any matter as to which the Company informs the Depositary (and the Company agrees to provide such information as promptly as practicable in writing) that (x) the Company does not wish such proxy given, (y) substantial opposition exists or (z) such matter materially and adversely affects the rights of holders of Stock. Neither the Depositary nor its agents are responsible for the effect of any vote.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the case of each meeting, the Depositary shall not be obligated to give any such deemed instruction unless and until the Depositary has been provided with an opinion of counsel to the Company, in form and substance satisfactory to the Depositary, to the effect that (i) such deemed instruction does not subject the Depositary to any reporting obligations in Japan, (ii) such deemed instruction will not result in a violation of Japanese law, rule, regulation or permit, (iii) the voting arrangement and proxy as contemplated herein will be given effect under Japanese laws, rules and regulations (iv) the Depositary will not be deemed to be authorized to exercise, or in fact exercising, any discretion when voting in accordance with the terms of this paragraph (12) under Japanese law and (v) the Depositary will not be subject to any liability under Japanese law, rule or regulation for losses arising from the exercise of the voting arrangements set forth in this paragraph (12).  If after the date such opinion is delivered to the Depositary but before the date of the meeting to which such opinion relates the Company is advised by counsel that there has occurred a change in Japanese law such that the foregoing opinion could no longer be rendered favorably in whole or in part, the Company shall promptly notify the Depositary of such change and the Holders shall thereafter not be deemed to have given any such instruction.

There is no guarantee that Holders generally or any Holder in particular will receive the notice described above with sufficient time to enable such Holder to return any voting instructions to the Depositary in a timely manner.  Notwithstanding anything contained in the Deposit Agreement or any ADR, the Depositary may, to the extent not prohibited by law or regulations, or by the requirements of the stock exchange on which the ADSs are listed, in lieu of distribution of the materials provided to the Depositary in connection with any meeting of, or solicitation of consents or proxies from, holders of Deposited Securities, distribute to the Holders a notice that provides Holders with, or otherwise publicizes to Holders, instructions on how to retrieve such materials or receive such materials upon request (i.e., by reference to a website containing the materials for retrieval or a contact for requesting copies of the materials).  Holders are strongly encouraged to forward their voting instructions as soon as possible.  Voting instructions will not be deemed received until such time as the ADR department responsible for proxies and voting has received such instructions notwithstanding that such instructions may have been physically received by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Depositary, prior to such time.
