|Item 6. | Directors, Senior Management and Employees
|------- | ------------------------------------------

A. Directors and Senior Management

We have adopted the Committee System permitted as a form of corporate organization pursuant to the Companies Act. Each company adopting
the Committee System, including us, is required to (i) establish within our board of directors nominating, audit and compensation committees, a majority of the members of each of which must be outside directors, and (ii) appoint executive
officers responsible for executing the business of such company. The Companies Act defines an outside director as a director who is not and has not been an executive director (a representative director or a director who executes such companys
business), executive officer, manager or any other employee of such company or its subsidiaries. Under the Committee System, a company is not allowed to have corporate auditors but is instead required to delegate auditing function responsibilities
to its audit committee. For information regarding our implementation of the Committee System, see C. Board Practices below.

Set forth below are the names of our directors, or Directors, and executive officers, or Executive Officers, as of June 29, 2010.
All Directors were elected at our general meeting of shareholders held on June 29, 2010 for a term of one year. While the Board Director (Chair), Mr. Tadamichi Sakiyama, does not concurrently serve as an Executive Officer, three Directors,
Mr. Takashi Kawamura, Mr. Hiroaki Nakanishi and Mr. Takashi Miyoshi, do concurrently serve as Executive Officers. Five Directors, Ms. Yoshie Ota, Messrs. Mitsuo Ohashi, Akihiko Nomiyama, Kenji Miyahara and Tohru Motobayashi, are
outside Directors who fulfill the qualification requirements as provided for in the Companies Act. The term of office of all Executive Officers began from April 1, 2010 and will expire on March 31, 2011.

There are no family
relationships between any of our Directors or Executive Officers and any other of our Directors or Executive Officers. There are no arrangements or understandings with major shareholders, customers, suppliers or others, pursuant to which any person
referred to above was selected as a Director or Executive Officer.

B. Compensation

The aggregate amount of compensation, including retirement allowances, paid by us during the year ended March 31, 2010 to all our
Directors and Executive Officers who served during that year was ¥2,779 million. The amount of compensation for our Representative Executive Officer, Chairman and Director Takashi Kawamura was ¥134 million, representing his total annual
salary.

Compensation is commensurate with the ability required of, and the responsibilities to be borne by, our Directors and
Executive Officers, taking into consideration compensation packages at other companies.

Compensation for Directors consists
of a monthly salary and a year-end allowance. Monthly salary is decided by making adjustments to basic salary that reflect full-time or part-time status, committee membership and position. Year-end allowance is a predetermined amount equivalent to
about 20% of the Directors annual income based on monthly salary, although this amount may be reduced depending on our performance. A Director concurrently serving as an Executive Officer is not paid compensation as a Director.

Compensation for Executive Officers consists of a monthly salary and a performance-linked bonus. We decide monthly salary by adjusting a
basic amount set in accordance with the relevant position to reflect the results of an assessment. The performance-linked bonus is payable in an amount of up to approximately 30% of the Executive Officers annual income, adjusted based on our
performance and on the individuals performance.

We reexamined the compensation structure for directors and officers
starting with the compensation for the year ended March 31, 2009 and we abolished the retirement allowance for directors and officers.

C. Board Practices

We have adopted the committee-based corporate governance system, or Committee System, permitted as a form of corporate organization
pursuant to the Companies Act. The Companies Act requires each company adopting the Committee System, including us, to (i) establish within its board of directors nominating, audit and compensation committees, a majority of the members of each
of which must be outside directors, and (ii) appoint executive officers responsible for executing the business of such company. The Companies Act defines an outside director as a director who is not and has not been an executive director (a
representative director or a director who executes such companys business), executive officer, manager (shihai nin) or any other employee of such company or its subsidiaries. Under the Committee System, we are not allowed to have
corporate auditors, but instead we must delegate auditing function responsibilities to its audit committee. Through the adoption of the Committee System and the resulting separation of business execution and supervision thereof, we hope to improve
the efficiency of our management and foster a thorough and transparent management system.

Our articles of incorporation
provide for a Board of Directors of not more than twenty members. All Directors are elected at a general meeting of shareholders and the current Directors were elected at the general meeting of shareholders held June 29, 2010. Our articles of
incorporation provide that, by resolution of the Board of Directors, a Director who convenes and presides over meetings of the Board of Directors shall be selected. Directors are reelected each year, and not on a staggered basis. The term of office
of Directors expires at the close of the ordinary general meeting of shareholders for the last business year that will end within one year after their election. A Director may serve any number of consecutive terms. The term of office of the
Directors currently in office will expire at the close of the ordinary general meeting of shareholders to be held within three months from March 31, 2011.

Under the Committee System, the Board of Directors focuses on the functions of decision making with respect to fundamental management
policies and certain important matters prescribed by law, as well as supervision of execution by the Directors and Executive Officers of their respective duties. The Board of Directors has, by resolution, delegated to the Executive Officers most of
its authority to make decisions with regard to our business affairs.

The Nominating Committee is authorized to determine the
particulars of proposals concerning the election and dismissal of Directors to be submitted to a general meeting of shareholders. As stated above, a majority of the members of the Nominating Committee must be outside directors.

The Compensation Committee is authorized to establish a policy on the determination of the particulars of compensation for each Director
and Executive Officer and to determine the particulars of compensation for each Director and Executive Officer in accordance with such policy. As stated above, a majority of the members of the Compensation Committee must be outside directors.

The Audit Committee is authorized to audit the execution by the Directors and Executive Officers of their respective duties,
to prepare its audit report, and to determine the particulars of proposals concerning the election, dismissal and non-retention of our independent auditor to be submitted to the general meeting of shareholders. The Audit Committee has the statutory
duty to examine the financial statements and business reports prepared by Executive Officers designated by the Board of Directors and to prepare its audit report. Pursuant to our Board of Directors regulations, the Audit Committee has the authority
to pre-approve non-audit services provided by an independent auditor. As stated above, a majority of the members of the Audit Committee must be outside directors. In addition, a member of the Audit Committee may not concurrently be an Executive
Officer or a Director who is engaged in our business affairs or those of our subsidiaries, or an accounting advisor (kaikei san-yo), a manager (shihai nin), or any other employee of our subsidiaries.

For a list of the members of each committee, see Directors and Senior Management above.

##### Table of Contents

Our articles of incorporation provide for a maximum of forty Executive Officers. The Board
of Directors appoints all Executive Officers. Pursuant to our articles of incorporation, the term of office of Executive Officers expires on the last day of the business year that ends within one year from their election. An Executive Officer may
serve any number of consecutive terms. The term of office of the Executive Officers currently in office will expire on March 31, 2011.

Under the Committee System, Executive Officers have the power to make decisions on matters delegated to them by the Board of Directors.
An Executive Officer executes our business affairs within the scope of assignment determined by the Board of Directors. From among the Executive Officers, the Board of Directors must appoint one or more representative Executive Officers. Each of the
representative Executive Officers has the statutory authority to represent us generally in the conduct of our affairs. Pursuant to our articles of incorporation, the Board of Directors must appoint a President who must also be a representative
Executive Officer.

No Directors have service contracts with us providing for benefits upon termination of employment.

Pursuant to the Companies Act and our articles of incorporation, we may, by resolution of the Board of Directors, exempt any
director and Executive Officer from liabilities to us arising in respect of his/her failure to execute duties except in the case of willful misconduct or gross negligence to the extent provided in laws or regulations. In addition, we have entered
into an agreement with each outside Director to limit such Directors liabilities to us arising in connection with a failure by such Director to execute his/her duties to us except in the case of willful misconduct or gross negligence. The
maximum aggregate amount of liability coverage under these agreements is in accordance with the Companies Act.

Our employees are members of the Hitachi Workers Union or unions representing the employees of certain domestic subsidiaries under the
Federation of Hitachi Group Workers Unions. Each company in our group has a collective bargaining agreement with its workers union. Under the agreements, all of our employees and those of our domestic subsidiaries that have labor unions, except
management and a limited number of other employees, must become union members. The collective bargaining agreements are customarily for two-year terms and the present provisions, other than those relating to wages, extend to March 31, 2012. We
consider our relations with the labor unions to be excellent and there have been no significant strikes or labor disputes in recent years.
