                                     ORDER

   Adopted: July 3, 2008 Released: July 10, 2008

   By the Commission:

    1. In this Order, we adopt the attached Consent Decree entered into
       between the Federal Communications Commission ("Commission")  and
       Funai Corporation, Inc. ("Funai"). The Consent Decree terminates an
       investigation and Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture ("NAL")
       by the Commission  against Funai for possible violations of Section
       330(c) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, ("Act"), Section
       15.120(d)(2) of the Commission's Rules ("Rules"), regarding Funai's
       apparent interstate shipment, after March 15, 2006, of digital
       television receivers that do not comply with the Commission's rules
       regarding program blocking technology requirements for televisions
       receivers, and Section 1.17 of the Rules regarding Funai's apparent
       inaccurate statements to the Commission.

    2. The Commission and Funai have negotiated the terms of the Consent
       Decree that resolve this matter. A copy of the Consent Decree is
       attached hereto and incorporated by reference.

    3. After reviewing the terms of the Consent Decree and evaluating the
       facts before us, we find that the public interest would be served by
       adopting the Consent Decree, which terminates the investigation and
       cancels the NAL.

    4. In the absence of material new evidence relating to this matter, we
       conclude that our investigation raises no substantial or material
       questions of fact as to whether Funai possesses the basic
       qualifications, including those related to character, to hold or
       obtain any Commission license or authorization.

    5. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to sections 4(i) and 503(b)
       of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, the Consent Decree
       attached to this Order IS ADOPTED.

    6. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the above-captioned investigation IS
       TERMINATED and the Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture IS
       CANCELLED.

    7. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Funai shall make its voluntary contribution
       to the United States Treasury, as specified in the Consent Decree, by
       mailing a check or similar instrument payable to the order of the
       Federal Communications Commission, to Federal Communications
       Commission, P.O. Box 979088, St. Louis, MO 63197-9000. Payment by
       overnight mail may be sent to U.S. Bank - Government Lockbox #979088,
       SL-MO-C2-GL, 1005 Convention Plaza, St. Louis, MO 63101. Payment by
       wire transfer may be made to ABA Number 021030004, receiving bank
       TREAS/NYC, and account number 27000001. For payment by credit card, an
       FCC Form 159 (Remittance Advice) must be submitted. When completing
       the FCC Form 159, enter the Account number in block number 23A (call
       sign/other ID), and enter the letters "FORF" in block number 24A
       (payment type code). Funai will also send electronic notification on
       the date said payment is made to Linda.Nagel@fcc.gov and
       Kathy.Berthot@fcc.gov.

    8. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Funai will file reports with the Commission
       ninety days after the Effective Date, twelve months after the
       Effective Date, and two years after the Effective Date, as set forth
       in the attached Consent Decree.  Each report shall include a
       compliance certificate from an officer, as an agent of Funai, stating
       that the officer has personal knowledge that Funai has established
       operating procedures intended to ensure compliance with this Consent
       Decree, together with an accompanying statement explaining the basis
       for the officer's compliance certification. All reports shall be
       submitted to Chief, Spectrum Enforcement Division, Enforcement Bureau,
       Federal Communications Commission, 445 12th Street, S.W., Washington,

                                 CONSENT DECREE

   The Federal Communications Commission ("Commission" or "FCC") and Funai

   II. BACKGROUND

    2. Section 303(x) of the Act directs the Commission to prescribe rules
       that require television receivers with picture screens 13 inches or
       greater shipped in interstate commerce or manufactured in the United
       States to be equipped with a feature designed to enable viewers to
       block the display of all programs with a common rating. Section 330(c)
       of the Act provides that no person shall ship in interstate commerce
       or manufacture in the United States television receivers that do not
       comply with rules prescribed by the Commission pursuant to Section
       303(x). The Commission adopted program blocking capability
       requirements for both analog and digital television ("DTV") receivers
       in 1998. In 2004, the Commission adopted specific technical standards
       to implement V-Chip functionality for DTV receivers ("V-Chip
       technology requirements"). The DTV V-Chip technology requirements
       provide that, effective March 15, 2006, digital television receivers
       with picture screens 13 inches or greater that are shipped in
       interstate commerce must be equipped with V-Chip technology to allow
       blocking of the display of programming based on its content and be
       able to respond to changes in the content advisory rating system.

    3. The Bureau released a Letter of Inquiry on August 7, 2007 ("First
       LOI"), regarding Funai's apparent interstate shipment, after March 15,
       2006, of certain digital television receivers that did not comply with
       the Commission's DTV V-Chip technology requirements  . Question 2 of
       the First LOI asked: "State whether the receivers listed above are
       capable of receiving program rating descriptors transmitted pursuant
       to industry standard EIA/CEA-766-A and are capable of blocking
       programs from viewing when the program rating meets pre-determined
       user requirements." In its response to the First LOI ("First LOI
       Response"), Funai's one-word answer to Question 2 was "No." Question 3
       of the First LOI asked the separate question of whether the Funai
       Models are "able to process newer RRT versions contained in PSIP or
       use new RRT codes to permit program blocking based on a new rating
       system." Funai also answered "No" to Question 3 in its First LOI
       Response.

    4. On November 1, 2007, the Commission issued a Notice of Apparent
       Liability for Forfeiture ("NAL") proposing that Funai be held liable
       for a forfeiture of $7,745,687 under Section 503(b)(1)(B) of the Act,
       and ordered the Company either to pay the proposed forfeiture or file
       a written response within thirty (30) days of the NAL release date
       stating why the proposed forfeiture should be reduced or canceled.
       This forfeiture amount was consistent with the Commission's
       understanding, based on the answers described in paragraph 3 above,
       that the Funai Models did not comply with any part of Section
       15.120(d)(2).

    5. In its December 3, 2007 Response to the NAL ("NAL Response"), Funai
       stated that its First LOI Response was incorrect in certain respects
       and that the Funai Models are capable of receiving program rating
       descriptors transmitted pursuant to industry standard EIA/CEA-766-A
       and blocking programs from viewing when the program rating meets
       pre-determined user requirements, as required by Section 15.120(d)(2)
       of the Rules. Funai indicated, however, that the Funai Models are not
       capable of responding to changes in the content advisory rating
       system.

    6. On December 27, 2007, the Bureau issued a Second LOI seeking, among
       other things, a detailed explanation for Funai's apparently providing
       material factual information that was incorrect in its First LOI
       Response. In response, Funai explained that its statement in the First
       LOI Response that the Funai Models were incapable of receiving and
       responding to any program rating descriptors was based on an overly
       literal interpretation of the question and its confusion on how to
       respond accurately.

   III. TERMS OF AGREEMENT

    7. Adopting Order. The Parties agree that the provisions of this Consent
       Decree shall be subject to final approval by the Commission by
       incorporation of such provisions by reference in the Adopting Order
       without change, addition, modification, or deletion.

    8. Jurisdiction. Funai agrees that the Commission has jurisdiction over
       it and the matters contained in this Consent Decree and has the
       authority to enter into and adopt this Consent Decree.

    9. Effective Date; Violations. The Parties agree that this Consent Decree
       shall become effective on the date on which the FCC releases the
       Adopting Order. Upon release, the Adopting Order and this Consent
       Decree shall have the same force and effect as any other Order of the
       Commission. Any violation of the Adopting Order or of the terms of
       this Consent Decree shall constitute a separate violation of a
       Commission Order, entitling the Commission to exercise any rights and
       remedies attendant to the enforcement of a Commission Order.

   10. Termination of Investigation. In express reliance on the covenants and
       representations in this Consent Decree and to avoid further
       expenditure of public resources, the Commission agrees to terminate
       its investigation and to cancel its NAL. In consideration for the
       termination of said investigation and cancellation of the NAL, Funai
       agrees to the terms, conditions, and procedures contained herein. The
       Commission further agrees that in the absence of new material
       evidence, the Commission will not use the facts developed in this
       investigation through the Effective Date of the Consent Decree, or the
       existence of this Consent Decree, to institute, on its own motion, any
       new proceeding, formal or informal, or take any action on its own
       motion against Funai concerning the matters that were the subject of
       the investigation. The Commission also agrees that it will not use the
       facts developed in this investigation through the Effective Date of
       this Consent Decree, or the existence of this Consent Decree, to
       institute on its own motion any proceeding, formal or informal, or
       take any action on its own motion against Funai with respect to
       Funai's basic qualifications, including its character qualifications,
       to be a Commission licensee or to hold Commission authorizations.

   11. Compliance Plan. For purposes of settling the matters set forth
       herein,  Funai agrees to create within 30 days a Compliance Plan
       related to future compliance with the Act, the Commission's Rules, and
       the Commission's Orders. The Plan will include, at a minimum, the
       following components:

    a. FCC Compliance Procedures. Funai shall develop, implement, and update
       as necessary, with the assistance of outside regulatory counsel,
       appropriate FCC Compliance Procedures. Relevant Funai personnel shall
       be made aware of the FCC Compliance Procedures and are to follow them.
       The FCC Compliance Procedures will, among other things, address
       Section 15.120 of the Commission's Rules. The FCC Compliance
       Procedures also will set forth a protocol to ensure that knowledgeable
       persons at Funai review and verify all information provided in all
       communications with the Commission to ensure that those responses are
       correct, complete, and not misleading.

    b. Compliance Committee. Funai will assemble and staff an FCC Compliance
       Committee (the "Committee") chaired by the Officer of Product
       Reliability at Funai Electric Company, Ltd. ("Funai Electric"). The
       Committee, which may be organized into subcommittees, will include
       representatives from Funai and Funai Electric, including staff from
       the Product Reliability, TV Engineering, TV Project, DVD Engineering,
       DVD Project, Development, TV Business Assistance, Business Strategy,
       Marketing, Product Planning and the Legal & Intellectual Property
       Departments. The Committee will meet on a monthly basis to discuss
       compliance with FCC regulations and will communicate in a timely
       fashion among the members any new technical requirements that might be
       imposed by the FCC. The Committee will retain an outside technical
       consultant that will be responsible for monitoring the FCC's and other
       relevant U.S. web sites and routinely updating the Committee.

    c. FCC Compliance Chairman. Funai shall designate an FCC Compliance
       Chairman ("FCC Compliance Chairman") who will administer the
       Compliance Plan, oversee Funai's regulatory compliance and serve as
       the Funai point of contact for all Commission-related compliance
       matters. The FCC Compliance Chairman, working with the Legal &
       Intellectual Property Department and outside regulatory counsel, also
       will be responsible for assuring that information provided to the FCC
       by Funai is correct and accurate.

    d. Employee Training. Funai will train and provide materials concerning
       the V-Chip technology requirements set forth at Section 15.120(d)(2)
       of the Commission's Rules and the requirements of the Consent Decree
       to all of its employees who are involved directly or indirectly in the
       design, development, testing, marketing, and distribution of Funai
       products equipped with digital television receivers. Specifically,
       Funai will, within 120 days of the Effective Date of the Consent
       Decree, conduct a training program regarding compliance with the
       V-Chip technology requirements and the Consent Decree. New employees
       who are involved directly or indirectly in the design, development,
       testing, marketing, and distribution of Funai products equipped with
       digital television receivers will be trained within 120 days of being
       hired. Existing employees who are reassigned to jobs with such
       responsibilities will be trained within 120 days of reassignment. All
       employees who are involved directly or indirectly in the design,
       development, testing, marketing, and distribution of Funai products
       equipped with digital television receivers will receive "refresher"
       training annually.

    e. Remedial Equipment Measures. Funai agrees to prepare a software
       upgrade (the "Upgrade") for any Funai Model in inventory as of the
       Effective Date of the Consent Decree that is shipped interstate in the
       United States. The Upgrade will update Funai digital television
       receivers to allow them to respond to changes in the content advisory
       rating system.

   Funai agrees that for individual units of any of the Funai Models sold to
   customers in the United States, Funai will provide remedial measures for a
   period of two years after the Effective Date of the Consent Decree. Funai
   will post a link to a notice in a prominent position on its main website,
   www.funai.us (the "Customer Notice"). The Customer Notice will identify
   the Funai Models for which a remedial measure is available, will explain
   the preinstalled V-Chip capabilities already available in them, and will
   announce the availability of modifications to enhance current V-Chips. The
   Customer Notice will provide a toll-free telephone number or numbers for
   consumers to call to learn about the options with respect to modifications
   to enable the full V-Chip technology functionality. Software for some
   televisions will be upgraded at Funai facilities. Consumers may either
   bring the set to an authorized Funai service center in person or may ship
   the set. The locations of authorized service centers are provided via
   Funai's website, www.funai.us. Depending on the television set and other
   equipment that a consumer uses, for a period of 90 days from the Effective
   Date, on request from a consumer, Funai will provide additional hardware
   without charge to the customer to enable the enhanced V-Chip functions.
   After 90 days from the Effective Date, on request from a consumer, Funai
   will provide such hardware at cost, plus actual shipping and handling
   charges, for a period of two years from the Effective Date.

    f. Review and Monitoring. Funai will review the Compliance Plan annually,
       with assistance from outside regulatory legal counsel, to ensure that
       it is maintained in a proper manner and continues to address the
       objectives set forth therein.

    g. Compliance Reports. Funai will file compliance reports with the
       Commission ninety days after the Effective Date, twelve months after
       the Effective Date, and two years after the Effective Date. Each
       compliance report shall include a compliance certificate from an
       officer, as an agent of Funai, stating that the officer has personal
       knowledge that Funai has established operating procedures intended to
       ensure compliance with this Consent Decree, together with an
       accompanying statement explaining the basis for the officer's
       compliance certification. All compliance reports shall be submitted to
       Chief, Spectrum Enforcement Division, Enforcement Bureau, Federal
       Communications Commission, 445 12th Street, S.W., Washington, D.C.
       20554.

    h. Termination Date. Unless stated otherwise,  the requirements of this
       Consent Decree will expire two years from the Effective Date of the
       Adopting Order.

   12. Voluntary Contribution. Funai agrees that it will make a voluntary
       contribution to the United States Treasury in the amount of $335,000.
       The payment will be made within 30 days after the Effective Date of
       the Adopting Order. The payment must be made by check or similar
       instrument, payable to the order of the Federal Communications
       Commission. The payment must include the Account Number and FRN Number
       referenced in the caption to the Adopting Order. Payment by check or

   13. Waivers. Funai waives any and all rights it may have to seek
       administrative or judicial reconsideration, review, appeal or stay, or
       to otherwise challenge or contest the validity of this Consent Decree
       and the Order adopting this Consent Decree, provided the Commission
       issues an Order adopting the Consent Decree without change, addition,
       modification, or deletion. Funai shall retain the right to challenge
       Commission interpretation of the Consent Decree or any terms contained
       herein. If either Party (or the United States on behalf of the
       Commission) brings a judicial action to enforce the terms of the
       Adopting Order, neither Funai nor the Commission shall contest the
       validity of the Consent Decree or the Adopting Order, and Funai shall
       waive any statutory right to a trial de novo. Funai hereby agrees to
       waive any claims it may otherwise have under the Equal Access to
       Justice Act, 5 U.S.C. S: 504 and 47 C.F.R. S: 1.1501 et seq., relating
       to the matters addressed in this Consent Decree.

   14. Severability. The Parties agree that if any of the provisions of the
       Adopting Order or the Consent Decree shall be invalid or
       unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not
       invalidate or render unenforceable the entire Adopting Order or
       Consent Decree, but rather the entire Adopting Order or Consent Decree
       shall be construed as if not containing the particular invalid or
       unenforceable provision or provisions, and the rights and obligations
       of the Parties shall be construed and enforced accordingly. In the
       event that this Consent Decree in its entirety is rendered invalid by
       any court of competent jurisdiction, it shall become null and void and
       may not be used in any manner in any legal proceeding.

   15. Subsequent Rule or Order. The Parties agree that if any provision of
       the Consent Decree conflicts with any subsequent rule or order adopted
       by the Commission (except an order specifically intended to revise the
       terms of this Consent Decree to which Funai does not expressly
       consent) that provision will be superseded by such Commission rule or
       order.

   16. Successors and Assigns. Funai agrees that the provisions of this
       Consent Decree shall be binding on its successors, assigns, and
       transferees.

   17. Final Settlement. The Parties agree and acknowledge that this Consent
       Decree shall constitute a final settlement between the Parties. The
       Parties further agree that this Consent Decree does not constitute
       either an adjudication on the merits or a factual or legal finding or
       determination regarding any compliance or noncompliance with the
       requirements of the Act or the Commission's Rules and Orders. The
       Parties agree that this Consent Decree is for settlement purposes only
       and that by agreeing to this Consent Decree, Funai  does not admit or
       deny noncompliance, violation or liability for violating the Act or
       Rules in connection with the matters that are the subject of this
       Consent Decree.

   18. Modifications. This Consent Decree cannot be modified without the
       advance written consent of both Parties.

   19. Paragraph Headings. The headings of the Paragraphs in this Consent
       Decree are inserted for convenience only and are not intended to
       affect the meaning or interpretation of this Consent Decree.

   20. Authorized Representative. Each party represents and warrants to the
       other that it has full power and authority to enter into this Consent
       Decree.

   21. Counterparts. This Consent Decree may be signed in any number of
       counterparts (including by facsimile), each of which, when executed
       and delivered, shall be an original, and all of which counterparts
       together shall constitute one and the same fully executed instrument.
