10. US investors may have difficulty in serving process or enforcing a judgment against the Company or its
directors, executive officers or corporate auditors
The Company is a limited liability, joint stock corporation incorporated under the laws of Japan. Most
of its directors, executive officers and corporate auditors reside in Japan. All or substantially all of the
Company's assets and the assets of these persons are located in Japan and elsewhere outside the
United States. It may not be possible, therefore, for US investors to effect service of process within
the United States upon the Company or these persons or to enforce against the Company or these
persons judgments obtained in US Courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the Federal
securities laws of the United States. There is doubt as to the enforceability in Japan, in original
actions or in actions for enforcement of judgment of US courts, of liabilities predicated solely upon
the federal securities laws of the United States.
