(2) In the case of a person who was sentenced to a remitted punishment without being further sentenced to a fine or a greater punishment during a period of two years since such sentence became final and binding, the sentence shall cease to have effect.#The phrase of "sentenced to a remitted punishment" is the translation of "kei no menjo" in this context to avoid any misunderstanding despite of the term "exculpation/exculpate" indicated for it in the Standard Bilingual Dictionary (March 2006 edition).#
