 the risks of an investment
in securities denominated in a currency other than the home currency. You should consult your own financial and legal advisors as to the risks involved in an investment in the notes.

The notes permit us to make payments in U.S. dollars if we are unable to obtain yen.

If the yen is unavailable to us due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond our control then all payments in
respect of the notes will be made in U.S. dollars until the yen is again available to us. The amount payable on any date in yen will be converted into U.S. dollars at the rate mandated by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board as of the close of business on
the second business day prior to the relevant payment date or, in the event the U.S. Federal Reserve Board has not mandated a rate of conversion, on the basis of the then most recent U.S. dollar/yen exchange rate published in the Wall Street Journal
on or prior to the second business day prior to the relevant payment date or, in the event the Wall Street Journal has not published such exchange rate, the rate will be determined in our sole discretion on the basis of the most recently available
market exchange rate for yen. Any payment in respect of the notes so made in U.S. dollars will not constitute an event of default under the notes or the indenture governing the notes.

In a lawsuit for payment on the notes, an investor may bear currency exchange risk.

The indenture is, and the notes will be, governed by the laws of the State of New York. Under New York law, a New York state court rendering a
judgment on the notes would be required to render the judgment in yen. However, the judgment would be converted into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of entry of the judgment. Consequently, in a lawsuit for payment on the
notes, investors would bear currency exchange risk until a New York state court judgment is entered, which could be a long time. A federal court in New York presiding over a dispute arising in connection with the notes may apply the foregoing New
York law or in certain circumstances may render the judgment in U.S. dollars.

In courts outside of New York, investors may not be able to
obtain a judgment in a currency other than U.S. dollars. For example, a judgment for money in an action based on the notes in many other U.S. federal or state courts ordinarily would be enforced in the United States only in U.S
