| On the 12th of March 2007 a delegation of the top management of the “Tokyo Metropolitan Television” (Tokyo MX) and of the “Austrian Broadcasting Cooperation” - (ORF) met in the ORF center on the “Kueniglberg” in Vienna to sign a common agreement in order to enhance both countries cultural and economic development by collaborating on exchange of information, news and programs in the field of entertainment. |

| As a witness, Mr. Keiichi Kimura, the Chairman of Japan-Austria Business council in Japan and Dr. Ernst Laschan, Head of Commercial Section of the Austrian Embassy in Japan were present, when a “Letter of Intent” was signed by Mr. Masayuki Homma, Vice President Managing Director of the Tokyo MX Programming Department, Dr. Reinhard Scolik, General Director of the ORF and Mrs. Beatrice Riesenfelder, Head of Sales & Acquisition of ORF. |

| Tokyo MX, founded in November 1995, was the first local TV station in Tokyo and covers its daily programs with various fields of information and entertainment, including vast political and 4 governmental information programs. Tokyo MX can be received in the area of Tokyo, Saitama, Chiba and Kanagawa prefecture. After establishing fruitful broadcasting collaborations with the TV stations of the cities such as Shanghai (Shanghai Television, since Sep. 2003), New York (NY1, since May 2004) and Seoul (Seoul TV, since Nov. 2005) this alliance between Tokyo MX and ORF is a further step for Tokyo MX to connect city information globally. Tokyo MX wishes to introduce the Viennese lifestyle to Tokyo citizens by collaborating together with ORF on mutual information and news as well as on classic music program exchange. |
|
| This newly created link between Tokyo MX and ORF is consequently reinforcing a long tradition of the relationship between Japan and Austria. |
