Dear Yutaka:

For the reasons that I have expressed to you in our recent communications, I feel that it is necessary that I resign from the Board and from my associated position on the Audit Committee. I hereby do so.

As you know, I believe very much in the mission of the Company, and I wish you all the best.

Sincerely,
