The Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company that:

--------------------------
duly organized, validly existing under the laws of Japan; (ii)
has all necessary corporate power to own and lease its
properties, to carry on its business as now being conducted and
to enter into and perform the Transactional Agreements; and
(iii) is qualified to do business in all jurisdictions in which
the failure to so qualify would have a material adverse effect
on its business.
3.2. Authority Relating to the Transactional Agreements; No Violation
----------------------------------------------------------------
of Other Instruments.
--------------------
(a) The execution and delivery of the Transactional
Agreements and the performance of the Transactional
Agreements by Purchaser have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate action on the part of Purchaser and,
assuming execution of the Transactional Agreements by the
Company, the Transactional Agreements will constitute
legal, valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser,
enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with
their terms, subject as to enforcement: (i) to
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement,
moratorium and other laws of general applicability
relating to or affecting creditors' rights; and (ii) to
general principles of equity, whether such enforcement is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.
(b) Neither the execution of the Transactional Agreements nor
the performance of the transactions contemplated thereby
by Purchaser will: (i) conflict with or result in any
breach or violation of the terms of any decree, judgment,
order, law or regulation of any court or other
governmental body now in effect applicable to the
Purchaser or any
-6-
federal, state or local law, rule or regulation now in
effect applicable to the Purchaser (including without
limitation any law for the protection of employees); (ii)
violate or conflict with any provision of Purchaser's
Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws or constituent
documents.
(c) No consent from any third party and no consent, approval
or authorization of, or declaration, filing or
registration with, any government or regulatory authority
is required to be made or obtained by Purchaser in order
to permit the execution, delivery or performance of the
Transactional Agreements by Purchaser, or the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by the
Transactional Agreements, except such consents,
approvals, authorizations, declarations, filings or
registrations the failure of which to obtain or make
could not reasonably be expected to have a material
adverse effect on the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.
3.3. Compliance with Law. Purchaser is not in violation of any
-------------------
decree, judgment, order, law or regulation of any court or other
governmental body (including without limitation, applicable
environmental protection legislation and regulations, equal
employment and civil rights regulations, legislation related to
wages, hours and the payment of social security taxes and
occupational health and safety legislation), which violation
could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect
on the assets or business of the Purchaser.
3.4. Brokers and Finders. The Purchaser shall pay or satisfy any
-------------------
commission, fee or payment required to be made to any broker or
finder retained by the Purchaser in connection with the
transactions contemplated by the Transactional Agreements. The
Purchaser will indemnify and hold the Company harmless against
all claims for brokers' or finders' fees made or asserted by any
party claiming to have been employed by the Purchaser or any
shareholder, director, officer, employee or agent of the
Purchaser and all costs and expenses (including the reasonable
fees of counsel) of investigating and defending such claims.
3.5. Investment. This Agreement is made with the Purchaser in
----------
reliance upon its representation to the Company, hereby
confirmed by the execution of this Agreement by the Purchaser,
that the Shares will be acquired for investment for the
Purchaser's own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with
a view to the sale or distribution of any part thereof, and that
the Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any
participation in, or otherwise distributing any of the Shares.
By executing this Agreement, the Purchaser further represents
that it has no contract, undertaking, agreement, or arrangement
with any person to sell, transfer, or grant participation to
such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the
Shares.
-7-
3.6. Unregistered Securities. The Purchaser must bear the economic
-----------------------
risk of investment for an indefinite period of time because the
Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Act") and therefore cannot and will not
---
be sold unless they are subsequently registered under the Act or
an exemption from such registration is available, if applicable.
The Purchaser will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell,
pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers
to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of) any
of the securities purchased hereunder except in compliance with
the Act, applicable blue sky laws, and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder.
3.7. Experience. The Purchaser represents that: (i) it has such
----------
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to
be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its prospective
investment in the Shares; (ii) it believes it has received all
the information it has requested from the Company and considers
necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to obtain the
Shares; (iii) it has had the opportunity to discuss the
Company's business, management, and financial affairs with the
Company's management, (iv) it has the ability to bear the
economic risks of its prospective investment; and (v) it is
able, without materially impairing its financial condition, to
hold the Shares for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a
complete loss on its investment.
3.8. Accredited Investor. The Purchaser presently qualifies as an
-------------------
"accredited investor" within the meaning of Regulation D of the
rules and regulations promulgated under the Act.
3.9. Legend. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Shares shall bear
------
the following legend and any other legend deemed reasonably
necessary by the Company:
"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"). SUCH
SECURITIES MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED UNLESS A REGISTRATION
STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT IS IN EFFECT AS TO SUCH TRANSFER OR, IN
THE OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY, REGISTRATION UNDER THE
ACT IS UNNECESSARY IN ORDER FOR SUCH TRANSFER TO COMPLY WITH THE
ACT OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OF THE ACT.
3.10. Accuracy of Documents and Information. The copies of
-------------------------------------
instruments, agreements and other documents set forth or
referenced in Schedules or Exhibits to the Transactional
Agreements furnished by the Purchaser to the Company and the
copies of instruments, agreements and other documentation
specifically required to be furnished by the Purchaser to the
Company pursuant to the Transactional
-8-
Agreements are and will conform to the original of such
instruments, agreements and documents in all material respects.
No representations or warranties made by Purchaser in the
Transactional Agreements, nor any Schedule or Exhibit attached
thereto nor any document or certificate required to be provided
by the Purchaser directly to the Company hereunder, contains any
untrue statement of a material fact, or omits to state a
material fact necessary to make the statements or facts
contained herein not misleading.

Company from and against any and all losses, costs, expenses,
liabilities, obligations, claims, demands, causes of action,
suits, settlements and judgments of every nature, suffered and
incurred by the Company, including the costs and expenses
associated therewith and reasonable attorneys' and witness fees
incurred ("Company's Damages") which arise out of or are related
-----------------
to: (i) the breach by the Purchaser of this Agreement, or any
third-party allegation thereof; and (ii) the non-performance,
partial or total, of any covenant in this Agreement.
5.2. Indemnity of the Purchaser. The Company shall indemnify and hold
--------------------------
harmless the Purchaser from and against any and all losses,
costs, expenses, liabilities, obligations, claims, demands,
causes of action, suits, settlements and judgments of every
nature, suffered and incurred by the Purchaser, including the
costs and expenses associated therewith and reasonable
attorneys' and witness fees incurred (the "Purchaser's Damages"
-------------------
and when used together with or in the alternative to
-12-
the Company's Damages, "Damages"), which arise out of or are
-------
related to: (i) the breach by the Company of any of this
Agreement or any third-party allegation thereof; or (ii) the
non-performance, partial or total, of any covenant made by the
Company pursuant to this Agreement.
5.3. Notice. In the event that any party suffers Damages, the party
------
making a claim for indemnification ("Indemnitee") shall within
----------
sixty (60) days of discovering or incurring such Damage give the
indemnifying party ("Indemnitor") written notice thereof
----------
("Notice of Claim"). The Notice of Claim shall state in
---------------
reasonable detail the nature of the claim, the specific
provisions in this Agreement alleged to have been breached (if
applicable), and the amount of the claim for indemnification.
Such amount shall represent the Indemnitee's good faith estimate
of the Damages. The Indemnitor shall have thirty (30) days from
receipt of the Notice of Claim to accept or reject the claim for
indemnification. The Indemnitee shall be deemed to have waived
its right to indemnification for any Damages for which notice is
not given in a timely manner as set forth herein if and to the
extent that the Indemnitor can show that such failure to give
timely notice has materially prejudiced the Indemnitor's ability
to defend or otherwise respond to such claim. Any claim for
Damages accepted by the Indemnitor or any claim determined as
valid under the claim procedure set forth below, shall be deemed
"Established Damages" for the purposes of this Agreement.
-------------------
5.4. Claims. If a Notice of Claim is given pursuant to Section 5.3
------ -----------
above, and no rejection is received within the thirty (30) day
period specified above, then the Indemnitor shall be deemed to
have accepted such claim. If the Indemnitor rejects a claim
within such thirty (30) day period, the parties shall, in good
faith, attempt to negotiate a resolution of such claim within
sixty (60) days thereafter (the "Resolution Period"). If the
-----------------
parties do not reach resolution during the Resolution Period,
then the Indemnitee may, within thirty (30) days after the end
of the Resolution Period proceed to submit the controversy to
mediation by providing notice to the Indemnitor. Such mediation
shall be governed by the rules of the Center for Public
Resources. Promptly thereafter, a mutually acceptable mediator
shall be chosen by the parties, who shall share the cost of
mediation services equally. If the dispute has not been resolved
by mediation within 60 days after the date of written notice
requesting mediation, then either party may initiate litigation
and pursue all and any remedies at law or at equity that such
party is entitled to. If the Indemnitor acknowledges in writing
its obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee against any Damages
that may result from claims of third parties ("Third Party
-----------
Claims"), then the Indemnitor shall be entitled to assume and
------
control the defense of such Third Party Claim at its expense and
through counsel of its choice if it gives notice of its
intention to do so to the Indemnitee within five days of the
receipt of such notice from the Indemnitee; provided, however,
that if there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a conflict
of interest that would make it
-13-
inappropriate in the judgment of the Indemnitee for the same counsel
to represent both the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor, then the
Indemnitee shall be entitled to retain its own counsel. In the event
the Indemnitor exercises the right to undertake any such defense
against any such Third Party Claim as provided above, the Indemnitee
shall cooperate with the Indemnitor in such defense and make
available to the Indemnitor, at the Indemnitor's expense, all
witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the
Indemnitee's possession or under the Indemnitee's control relating
thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnitor. Similarly, in
the event the Indemnitee is, directly or indirectly, conducting the
defense against any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnitor shall
cooperate with the Indemnitee in such defense and make available to
the Indemnitee, at the Indemnitee's expense, all such witnesses,
records, materials and information in the Indemnitor's possession or
under the Indemnitor's control relating thereto as is reasonably
required by the Indemnitee. No such Third Party Claim may be settled
by the Indemnitee without the written consent of the Indemnitor.
5.5. Exclusivity of Indemnification Remedy. From and after the Closing,
-------------------------------------
the exclusive remedy of (i) the Company for breaches by the Purchaser
and (ii) the Purchaser for breaches by the Company, of this
Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set
forth in this Section 5.
---------
5.6. Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and
------------------------------------------
warranties of the parties contained in this Agreement shall survive
the Closing solely for purposes of this Section 5 until the second
---------
anniversary of the Closing Date. If written notice of a claim has
been given prior to the expiration of the applicable representations
and warranties by a party to the other parties, then the relevant
representations and warranties shall survive as to such claim, until
such claim has been finally resolved.
5.7. Limit on Indemnities.
--------------------
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Section 5, the liability of the Purchaser and the Company
---------
pursuant to this Section 5 will terminate two years after the
---------
Closing Date except in respect of any claim made by any
indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 5 in respect of
---------
which notice is given by the Company and the Purchaser prior to
such date.
(b) No indemnifying party shall be required to make any
indemnification payment pursuant to this Section 5 until such
---------
time as the total amount of all Damages suffered or incurred by
the indemnified party, or to the indemnified party shall have
otherwise become subject, exceeds $50,000 in the aggregate. If
the total amount of such Damages exceeds $50,000 in
-14-
the aggregate, the indemnified party shall be entitled to be
indemnified against and compensated and reimbursed for the
entire amount of such Damages, and not merely the portion of
such Damages exceeding $50,000.
(c) The aggregate liability of the Purchaser to the Company, and
the aggregate liability of the Company to the Purchaser,
arising under this Section 5 shall not in any event exceed
$1,000,000.
