 to pass on the benefits of ownership in any interests in securities on deposit with it, such as dividends, voting rights and other entitlements, to any person credited with such interests in securities on its records. Certificated Notes The global notes for a series are exchangeable for certificated notes of the same series in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons in minimum denominations of ¥100,000,000 principal amount and integral multiples of ¥10,000,000 in excess thereof only in the following limited circumstances:

| • |     | the depositary for any of the notes of such series notifies us that it is unwilling or unable to continue as 
 depositary for the global notes of such series,                                                              |

| • |     | if there shall have occurred and be continuing an event of default with respect to the notes of such series, or |

| • |     | if we determine, in our sole discretion, that the global notes of such series are exchangeable in accordance with 
 the terms of the indenture.                                                                                       |

In all cases, certificated notes delivered in exchange for any global note or beneficial interests therein will be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, as the depositary shall direct. Subject to the foregoing, a global note is not exchangeable, except for a global note of the same aggregate denomination to be registered in the name of the common depositary or its nominee. Notices Except as otherwise described herein, notice to registered holders of the notes will be given by mail to the addresses as they appear in the security register. Notices will be deemed to have been given on the date of such mailing. So long as the notes are represented by a global note deposited with The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, or any successor thereto, as the common depositary for Clearstream and Euroclear, notices to holders may be given by delivery to Clearstream and Euroclear, and such notices shall be deemed to be given on the date of delivery to Clearstream and Euroclear. The trustee will transmit notices to each registered holder’s last known address as it appears in the security register that the trustee maintains. The trustee will only transmit these notices to the registered holder of the notes. You will not receive notices regarding the notes directly from us unless we reissue the notes to you in fully certificated form. S-19
