     (c)(3)  On February 1, 2005, the Company executed an amendment to its employment agreement with Mr. Akitoshi Kan, Chairman of AFLAC International. The amendment, which is effective January 1, 2005, amends Mr. Kan's previous employment agreement dated April 1, 2001 to reflect the change in his purpose and employment, duties and the performance thereof.

It also includes a provision for automatic one-year extensions, if not terminated sooner. Mr. Kan's 2001 employment agreement provides for an annual base salary of $325,000, which may be increased annually by the chief executive officer. He is eligible to receive performance bonus compensation with a minimum target level of 75% of base salary. He is also eligible to receive additional discretionary bonuses approved by the chief executive officer or the board of directors. Mr. Kan may be awarded stock options under plans for selected key employees and directors. The employment agreement contains confidentiality, non-compete and change-in-control provisions and may be terminated at-will by either party. This description of Mr. Kan's employment agreement and the amendment thereto is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the employment agreement and the amendment thereto attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
