Renewal of Measures against the Acquisition of a Substantial Shareholding of the
Company (i.e. Defensive Measures against Takeovers)

          As previously announced, Wacoal Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) has decided to renew the “Basic Policy for Measures against the Acquisition of a Substantial Shareholding of the Company” (the “Former Basic Policy”). Further, pursuant to Article 16 of the Company’s amended Articles of Incorporation a proposal to determine the specifics of the renewed Basic Policy for Measures against the Acquisition of a Substantial Shareholding of the Company (the “Basic Policy”) was submitted to the 61st Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders (the “Shareholders’ Meeting”). The Basic Policy incorporates the required amendments from the Former Basic Policy as adopted at a meeting of the board of directors on June 29, 2006. Following the approval of the Basic Policy at the Shareholders’ Meeting, the board of directors on this day resolves to adopt certain measures based on the Basic Policy as detailed below (i.e. defensive measures against takeovers) (hereinafter referred to as the “Plan”). The shareholding of the Company as of March 31, 2009 is as set out in Exhibit 1. As of this date, the Company has not received any notification or proposal of an acquisition of a substantial shareholding of the Company from any particular third party.

1. Features of the Plan

	(1)		Summary of the Plan
	(a)		Purpose of the Plan
			The purpose of the plan is to secure or enhance corporate value and the common interests of the shareholders by ensuring, in the event of an acquisition of a substantial shareholding of the company, sufficient information and time for all shareholders to consider such acquisition, as well as opportunity for discussion and/or negotiation with the purchaser.

	(b)		Formulation of Procedures
			Under the Plan, the Company will demand, in the event of any purchase or other similar action or any proposals of such (hereinafter referred to as “Purchase”), that any third party who launches or proposes a Purchase (hereinafter referred to as “Purchaser”) provide information in advance concerning such Purchase. The Plan formulates such procedures necessary to achieve its purpose as outlined in (a) above (see section (2) “Procedures of the Plan” below for details).
	(c)		Implementation of the Plan following Gratis Allocation of Share Acquisition Rights
			If the Purchaser fails to comply with the procedures as prescribed by the Plan and conducts the Purchase or in the event of any Purchase by a Purchaser that may cause obvious harm to the corporate value of the Company and the common interests of the shareholders, etc. (see section (3) “Terms and Conditions for Gratis Allocation of Share Acquisition Rights” below for details), the Company will conduct a gratis allocation of new share acquisition rights (the “Share Acquisition Rights”; see section (4) “Outline of Gratis Allocation of Share Acquisition Rights” for its primary content) to all shareholders (excluding the Company) at such time with terms that prohibit the Purchaser from exercising such rights (discriminatory treatment) and with a condition to acquire Share Acquisition Rights in exchange for the Company’s shares pursuant to Articles 277-279 of the Corporate Law.
			If a gratis allocation of Share Acquisition Rights is implemented in accordance with the procedures under the Plan, and the Share Acquisition Rights are exercised, or if the shares of the Company are granted to shareholders other than the Purchaser following the acquisition of Share Acquisition Rights by the Company, the voting ratio of the Company’s shares held by the Purchaser may be diluted by up to one-third (1/3).
	(d)		Use of the Independent Committee
			The Company shall comply with the Regulations of the Independent Committee (please see Exhibit 2 for details) in order to prevent the board of directors from making an arbitrary decision concerning the trigger or non-trigger of the gratis allocation of the Share Acquisition Rights or other matters concerning the acquisition pursuant to the Plan. In addition, the Company shall ensure transparency by seeking the judgment of an Independent Committee, which will be comprised of members appointed from (i) outside directors of the Company, (ii) outside statutory auditors of the Company or (iii) independent experts (experienced company managers, persons with a governmental background, legal counsel, certified public accountants, academic experts, etc.) who shall be independent from the executive officers of the Company who conduct its operations. Messrs. Mamoru Ozaki (outside director of the Company), Tomoharu Kuda (outside statutory auditor) and Naoto Nakamura (outside expert) were appointed as the initial members of the Independent Committee upon the renewal of the Plan (please see Exhibit 3 for their biographies).

			In addition, upon the implementation of the gratis allocation of the Share Acquisition Rights, if a recommendation is made by the Independent Committee that a general meeting of shareholders be convened in order to determine the decision of the shareholders, the board of directors shall convene such general meeting of the shareholders.
			Moreover, transparency shall be ensured regarding the course of such procedures through timely disclosure of relative information to all the shareholders of the Company.
	(2)		Procedures of the Plan
	(a)		Purchase
			The Plan is applicable in the event of a purchase that falls under either (i) or (ii) below. In such a case, the Purchaser shall follow the procedures as prescribed in advance in the Plan.

			(ii)      a public tender offer4 for share certificates5 issued by the Company that results in a combined ration of ownership6 of share certificates by the offeror and any of its Affiliates7 of more than 20% of such share certificates.
	(b)		Request for Provision of Information to the Purchaser
			Unless otherwise provided by our board of directors, if a Purchaser intends to undertake a Purchase, the Purchaser must submit to the Company a document in the form designated by the Company describing the information specified under each item below (the “Required Information”) prior to its launch, as well as an oath by the Purchaser that the Purchaser will follow the procedures as prescribed in the Plan upon consummation of the Purchase (collectively, the “Explanation of Purchase”).

			Except in particular circumstances under which the Independent Committee should discuss and/or negotiate with the Purchaser to continuously request submission of the Explanation of Purchase and the Required Information, the Independent Committee will recommend the board of directors to implement a gratis allocation of Share Acquisition Rights in accordance with the terms as stated in (d)(i) below if the Independent Committee deems that a Purchaser has launched a Purchase without following the procedures as prescribed by the Plan.
	(c)		Examination of Terms and Conditions of Purchase and Negotiation and/or Proposal of Alternatives with Purchaser
			(i)       Request for Provision of Information to the board of directors
			When the Explanation of Purchase and, if requested by the Independent Committee, any additional Required Information are submitted by the Purchaser, the Independent Committee may, in order to conduct a comparative examination of the submitted documents with the management plan of the board of directors and the valuation of the company by the board of directors, or to conduct an examination of alternative proposals by the board of directors from the perspective of securing and enhancing the corporate value and the common interests of the shareholders of the Company, may also request the board of directors to present its opinion (including reserving opinions) concerning the terms and conditions of such Purchase as well as to submit any supporting materials, alternative proposals or other information and/or materials as may be required by the Independent Committee. Such documents or materials shall be submitted no later than the response deadline set by the Independent Committee, which will take into account the time necessary for the collection of information and the examination of the valuation of the business by the board of directors, including independent experts, as the case may be (provided that such period does not in principle exceed 60 days).
			(ii)     Examination by Independent Committee
			If the provision of information and/or materials (including any information and/or materials additionally requested) from the Purchaser and our board of directors (in the event submission of information and/or materials are requested as stipulated in (i) above) is deemed sufficient to commence the examination of terms and conditions of the Purchase by the Independent Committee, the Independent Committee will fix a period (up to sixty (60) days) for examination; provided, however, that such period may be extended by a resolution of the Independent Committee pursuant to (d)(iii) below (the “Examination Period of the Independent Committee”) and inform the Purchaser and our board of directors accordingly.

Based on the information and/or materials provided by the Purchaser and the Company’s board of directors, the Independent Committee will examine and evaluate the terms and conditions of the Purchase by the Purchaser and will gather and examine information concerning the management plan, business plans, etc. of the Purchaser and the Company’s board of directors during the Examination Period of the Independent Committee. In doing so, they will maintain the perspective of ensuring and enhancing the value of the Company and the common interests of the shareholders. The Independent Committee may also directly or indirectly through our board of directors, etc. discuss and/or negotiate with the Purchaser, or propose alternatives of the board of directors, etc. to the shareholders in order to improve the terms and conditions of the Purchase from the perspective of ensuring and enhancing the value of the Company and the common interests of the shareholders.

			The Independent Committee may obtain advice from an independent third party (including, but not limited to, financial advisors, legal counsel, certified public accountants, consultants or other experts) at the cost of the Company to ensure that the judgment of the Independent Committee shall be to the benefit of the value of the Company and the common interests of the shareholders.
	(d)		Method of Judgment by the Independent Committee
			The Independent Committee will advise the board of directors in accordance with the following procedures if there is a Purchaser

(i)

Recommendation by the Independent Committee on Implementation of the Gratis Allocation of Share Acquisition Rights

			The Independent Committee will recommend the board of directors to implement a gratis allocation of the Share Acquisition Rights, irrespective of the sequence of the initiation or the termination of the Examination Period of the Independent Committee, if the Purchase by the Purchaser is deemed to fall under any of the requirements stipulated in section (3) “Requirements for Gratis Allocation of Share Acquisition Rights”.
			Provided, however, that after giving such recommendation, if the Independent Committee determines that (a) the Purchaser has withdrawn its proposed Purchase, or if such proposed Purchase otherwise no longer exists, or (b) there is a change in the facts or basis upon which such recommendation was made and the Independent Committee determines that the Purchase by the Purchaser no longer falls under any of the requirements stipulated in section (3) “Requirements for Gratis Allocation of the Share Acquisition Rights”, the Independent Committee may change its decision until the date before the commencement date of the Exercise Period of the Share Acquisition Rights (as defined in (f) of section (4) “Outline of Gratis Allocation of the Share Acquisition Rights”). This includes recommending to the board of directors the withdrawal of the gratis allocation of the Share Acquisition Rights (if prior to the effective date of such gratis allocation) or the gratis allocation of the Share Acquisition Rights (if after the effective date of such gratis allocation).

Even if the Independent Committee determines that the Purchase falls under any of the requirements stipulated in section (3) “Requirements for Gratis Allocation of the Share Acquisition Rights” below, if the Independent Committee determines that it is reasonable to obtain the resolution of a general meeting of shareholders regarding the implementation of the gratis allocation of the Share Acquisition Rights, it shall recommend to the board of directors that a general meeting of shareholders be convened and that the implementation of the gratis allocation of the Share Acquisition Rights be placed on the agenda.

(ii)

Recommendation by the Independent Committee on Non-implementation of the Gratis Allocation of Share Acquisition Rights

          The Independent Committee will recommend to the board of directors that the gratis allocation of the Share Acquisition Rights not be enforced, irrespective of the sequence of the initiation or the termination of the Examination Period of the Independent Committee, if the Independent Committee determines that the Purchase by the Purchaser does not fall under any of the requirements stipulated in section (3) “Requirements for Gratis Allocation of the Share Acquisition Rights”.

          Provided, however, that if there is a change in the facts or basis upon which such recommendation was made, and the Independent Committee determines that the Purchase by the Purchaser does not fall under any of the requirements stipulated in section (3) “Requirements for Gratis Allocation of the Shares Acquisition Rights”, the Independent Committee may change its decision, including recommending the implementation of the gratis allocation of the Share Acquisition Rights, and recommend such decision to the board of directors.

(iii)

Extension of Examination Period of the Independent Committee

          If the Independent Committee does not make any recommendation regarding the trigger or non-trigger of the gratis allocation of the Share Acquisition Rights (including the recommendation that a general meeting of shareholders be convened and that the implementation of the gratis allocation of the Share Acquisition Rights be placed on the agenda) by the termination of the initial Examination Period of the Independent Committee, the Independent Committee will adopt a resolution to extend the Examination Period to the extent necessary (provided, however, that such extension period shall not exceed thirty (30) days) for the examination of the terms and conditions of the Purchase by the Purchaser, or for discussion and/or negotiation with such Purchaser, and the examination of the alternatives, etc.

          If the Examination Period of the Independent Committee is extended pursuant to the resolution above, the Independent Committee shall continue to gather information and conduct its examination and shall exercise its best efforts to provide a recommendation regarding the trigger or non-trigger of a gratis allocation of the Share Acquisition Rights during such extended period (including the recommendation that a general meeting of shareholders be convened and that the implementation of the gratis allocation of the Share Acquisition Rights be placed on the agenda).

(e)

          The board of directors or the Independent Committee will promptly disclose information regarding those items among the following as determined appropriate by the Independent Committee:

(f)

Resolutions of the Meetings of board of directors; Convocation of a General Meeting of Shareholders

          The board of directors shall give the utmost respect to the recommendation provided by the Independent Committee pursuant to paragraph (d) above, and shall as an institution under the Corporate Law make a resolution on the implementation or non-implementation of the gratis allocation of the Share Acquisition Rights (including the withdrawal of the gratis allocation of the Share Acquisition Rights and the acquisition of the Share Acquisition Rights).

          If a recommendation is made by the Independent Committee that a general meeting of shareholders be convened and that the implementation of the gratis allocation of the Share Acquisition Rights be placed on the agenda, the board of directors shall, excluding cases where holding a general meeting of shareholders is significantly difficult, promptly convene a general meeting of shareholders and place the implementation of the gratis allocation of the Share Acquisition Rights on the agenda so as to hold a general meeting of shareholders as soon as is practically possible.

          If the resolution for implementation of the gratis allocation of the Share Acquisition Rights (including the withdrawal of the gratis allocation of the Share Acquisition Rights and the acquisition of the Share Acquisition Rights) is passed by such general meeting of shareholders, the board of directors shall, pursuant to a general meeting of shareholders’ resolution, conduct procedures necessary for the gratis allocation of the Share Acquisition Rights. Where a resolution is passed at the general meeting of shareholders to the effect that the decision for the gratis allocation of the Share Acquisition Rights is to be delegated to the board of directors, a board of directors’ resolution for the implementation of the gratis allocation of the Share Acquisition Rights shall be voted upon. Where the resolution for implementation of the gratis allocation of the Share Acquisition Rights fails to pass at the general meeting of shareholders, a resolution for non-implementation of the gratis allocation of the Share Acquisition Rights shall be voted upon.

          Pursuant to the above, after the commencement of the procedures of the Plan, the Purchaser shall not execute the Purchase in the period up until the resolution for implementation or non-implementation of the gratis allocation of the Share Acquisition Rights has been voted upon by the board of directors, or where the abovementioned general meeting of shareholders is convened, until the resolution for implementation of the gratis allocation of the Share Acquisition Rights has been passed or not passed by such general meeting of shareholders.

          Where (1) the board of directors votes upon a resolution for the implementation or non-implementation of the gratis allocation of the Share Acquisition Rights (including the withdrawal of the gratis allocation of the Share Acquisition Rights or the acquisition of the Share Acquisition Rights), (2) the board of directors votes upon a resolution for convocation of a meeting of general shareholders, or (3) a general meeting of shareholders’ resolution for the implementation or non-implementation of the gratis allocation of the Share Acquisition is voted upon, the board of directors shall promptly disclose the outline of such resolution and other information as determined as appropriate by the board of directors.

(b)       a Purchase that effectively forces the shareholders to sell their shares, such as in a coerced two-tier purchase (i.e. the acquisition of shares including a public tender offer that does not offer to acquire all of the shares in the initial acquisition and sets unfavorable terms and conditions for the shareholders or does not set clear terms and conditions in the second acquisition);

(c)       a Purchase that is to be carried out without granting the Company the time reasonably necessary to provide an alternative proposal regarding such Purchase;

After the date of such acquisition, in the event that the board of directors deem parties other than Unqualified Parties to exist among the shareholders of the Stock Acquisition Rights, the Company may, on a date later than the above date of acquisition as separately determined by the board of directors, acquire all of the Share Acquisition Rights held by such parties which have not been exercised as of the business day immediately prior to such date as determined by the board of directors. The same shall apply hereinafter.

(iii)    Any other potential acquisition by the Company and the terms and conditions thereof shall be separately governed in a Gratis Allocation Resolution.

¹² “Affiliate” (kanrensha) of a given party means a person deemed by the Board of Directors to substantially control, be controlled by, or be under common control with such given party, or a party deemed by the Board of Directors to act in concert with such given party. In addition, “Control” means to “control the determination of the financial and business policies” (as defined in Paragraph 3, Article 3 of the Enforcement Regulations of the Corporate Law) of other corporations or entities.

(j)

Others

          Any other terms and conditions of the Share Acquisition Rights shall be separately governed in a Gratis Allocation Resolution.

          Please see Exhibit 3 “Terms and Conditions of Gratis Allocation of Share Acquisition Rights for the definitions and the details of the terms used above.

(5)

Effective Period, Termination and Change of the Plan

          The effective period of the Plan, as with the effective period of the Basic Policy, shall expire upon the termination of the Basic Policy and will expire upon the conclusion of the ordinary general meeting of shareholders held at the end of the fiscal year ending within three (3) years after the conclusion of the Shareholders’ Meeting. Provided, however, that the Basic Policy may be changed or terminated by and pursuant to the resolution of the general meeting of shareholders if so resolved, even if the effective period has not expired. In such case, the Plan shall be promptly changed or terminated to reflect such change to the Basic Policy. Furthermore, the Plan shall be terminated by and pursuant to the resolution of the board of directors of the Company, which is comprised of the directors elected at the general meeting of shareholders of the Company, if so resolved by the board of directors.

          The board of directors may, even if the effective period of the Plan has not expired, make amendments or changes to the Plan with the approval of the Independent Committee if it does not conflict with the Basic Policy (including in the event of enactments, improvements, or elimination of laws and regulations relating to the Plan, or rules and regulations relating to the listing of securities etc., and where it is appropriate to reflect such change; and where it is appropriate to change the wording for reasons such as typographical errors and omissions, where disadvantages to the Company shareholders are not created, etc.)

          The Company will promptly disclose information of the termination, amendments to, or changes of the Plan and of the details of the changes (if applicable) and other information.

2. Impact on Shareholders and Investors

(1)

Impact on Shareholders and Investors at the Time of Renewal of the Basic Policy and the Plan

          As no actual gratis allocation of Share Acquisition Rights will occur at the time of renewal of the Basic Plan, there will be no direct or concrete impact on the rights and interests of the shareholders or investors.

(2)

Impact on Shareholders and Investors at the Time of a Gratis Allocation of Share Acquisition Rights

          Upon the implementation of a gratis allocation of Share Acquisition Rights in accordance with the procedures under the Plan, Share Acquisition Rights will be allotted gratis to the shareholders as of such Allocation Date and at such rate as separately determined in a Gratis Allocation Resolution, up to a maximum of two Share Acquisition Rights for each share held. If shareholders fail to pay the amount equivalent to the exercise price or otherwise to implement the procedures to exercise their Share Acquisition Rights during the exercise period of Share Acquisition Rights as described below in (b) of section (3) “Necessary procedures for shareholders upon a Gratis Allocation of Share Acquisition Rights”, the Company’s shares held by such shareholders will be diluted by the exercise of Share Acquisition Rights by other shareholders. However, the Company may, as described in (c) of section (3) “Necessary procedures for shareholders upon a Gratis Allocation of Share Acquisition Rights”, acquire Share Acquisition Rights from shareholders other than Unqualified Parties, and, in exchange, deliver the Company’s ordinary shares. In such case, shareholders other than Unqualified Parties will receive the Company’s shares in consideration of Share Acquisition Rights acquired by the Company without exercising their Share Acquisition Rights, and although the per-share value of the Company’s shares will be diluted, the total value held by such shareholders will not be diluted.

          Further, even after a Gratis Allocation Resolution is adopted, the Company must give the utmost respect to the recommendation provided by the Independent Committee pursuant to Part 1. section (2)(d) above, and may cancel a gratis allocation of the Share Acquisition Rights prior to the effective date of such gratis allocation, or if after the effective date of such gratis allocation, may acquire the Share Acquisition Rights without any consideration therefor prior to the first day of the exercise period of the Share Acquisition Rights. In such case, the per-share value of the Company’s shares will not be diluted. Accordingly, the shareholders or investors who have sold or purchased the Company’s shares on the precondition that dilution of the per-share value of the Company’s shares may take place will be subject to the fluctuation of the Company’s share prices.

	(3)		Necessary Procedures for Shareholders upon a Gratis Allocation of Share Acquisition Rights
	(a)		Procedures for the Allocation of Share Acquisition Rights

          Upon the Gratis Allocation Resolution of the board of directors or the Shareholders’ Meeting, the Company will make a public notice of the Allocation Date. In such case, those shareholders other than those who are registered or recorded in the Company’s final register of shareholders as of the Allocation Date (the “Entitled Shareholders”) automatically become entitled as of the effective date of such gratis allocation, and thus procedures for application, etc. are unnecessary.

(b)

Procedures for Exercise of Share Acquisition Rights

          As a general rule, the Company will deliver an exercise request form for the Share Acquisition Rights (in the form prescribed by the Company describing the terms and number of the Share Acquisition Rights to be exercised, the exercise date of the Share Acquisition Rights, or other necessary information such as that of the relevant account for the transfer of depositary shares, representations and warranties in which the shareholders represent and warrant that the conditions for the exercise of the Share Acquisition Rights will be satisfied, as well as indemnity clauses and other pledges) and other documents that are necessary for the exercise of the Share Acquisition Rights to the Entitled Shareholders. After the gratis allocation of the Share Acquisition Rights, in principle, the shareholders will be issued one (1) share for every one (1) Share Acquisition Right; upon submission of the exercise request form for the Share Acquisition Rights (and such necessary documents as determined by the Company) within the exercise period of the Share Acquisition Rights and before the effective date of the gratis allocation of such Share Acquisition Rights, upon receipt of such exercise requests (and such necessary documents) at the place of acceptance for such exercise requests pertaining to the Share Acquisition Rights, and upon payment to such place of acceptance of such exercise requests an amount equivalent to the exercise price determined in the Gratis Allocation Resolution, which amount shall be within the range of one (1) yen and one-half (1/2) of the fair market value of the Company’s stock per Share Acquisition Right.

(c)

Procedures for the Acquisition of Share Acquisition Rights by the Company

          If the board of directors determines to acquire the Share Acquisition Rights, the Company will acquire the Share Acquisition Rights on a certain date as separately determined by the board of directors following procedures required under the Corporate Law. In the event the Company acquires the Share Acquisition Rights from the shareholders other than the Unqualified Parties such shareholders will, in principle, receive one (1) share of the Company for every one (1) Share Acquisition Right as consideration for the acquisition by the Company of those Share Acquisition Rights, without paying an amount equivalent to the exercise price. Further, such shareholders will be separately requested to submit necessary information such as that of the relevant account for the book-entry transfer of depositary shares, a written oath prescribed by the Company describing the representations and warranties in which such shareholders do not fall under Unqualified Parties, indemnity clauses and other pledges.

In addition to the above, the details concerning the method of allocation of the Share Acquisition Rights, method of exercise and method of acquisition by the Company will be disclosed or announced to the shareholders upon confirmation the Gratis Allocation Resolution.

3. Reasonableness of the Plan

(1)

The Plan is in accordance with the Basic Policy regarding Parties controlling the Decisions of Financial and Business Policies of the Company

          In the event that the Company’s shares are purchased, the Plan serves to: enable shareholders to make decisions with respect to whether to accept such purchase, enable the board of directors to secure information and time necessary for making alternative proposals to shareholders or to negotiate and consult with a Purchaser on behalf of the shareholders, and is therefore in accordance with the Basic Policy regarding Parties controlling the Decisions of Financial and Business Policies of the Company (please see the press release dated May 8, 2009 “Renewal of Basic Policy for Measures against the Acquisition of a Substantial Shareholding of the Company (i.e. Defensive Measures against Takeovers” for details)).

	(2)		The Plan does not undermine the common interests of the Shareholders and moreover, does not aim to maintain the position of the officers of the Company.
	(a)		Full Compliance with Requirements of Guidelines for Defensive Measures against Takeovers

          The Basic Policy is in full compliance with the three principles set forth by the “Guidelines concerning Defensive Measures against Takeovers for Securing or Enhancing Corporate Value and the Common Interests of Shareholders” published by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Ministry of Justice on May 27, 2005.

(b)

Focus on Shareholders’ Intentions

          The Plan has been renewed upon the resolution to approve the Basic Policy at the Shareholders’ Meeting. Further, as stated in Section 1. (5) “Effective Period, Termination and Change of the Plan” above, the Plan has a so-called “sunset clause” setting forth an effective period of three (3) years, and it also provides that it may be amended or terminated by resolution of the Company’s shareholders, even if such effective period has not yet expired. In addition, even during the effective period of the Basic Policy, the Plan may be terminated by the resolution of the Company’s board of directors that consists of the directors elected by the Company’s shareholders. Therefore, the introduction and the termination of the Plan will be based on the intentions of the shareholders.

(c)

Focus on Judgment of Independent, Outside Persons and Information Disclosure

          Following the renewal of the Plan, the Independent Committee shall continue to make substantial decisions regarding the operation of the Basic Plan, such as the implementation of a gratis allocation of Share Acquisition Rights for the benefit of the shareholders in order to prevent the board of directors from making an arbitrary decision.

          The Independent Committee shall be composed of three or more members who shall be appointed from outside directors of the Company, outside statutory auditors or independent experts, all of whom shall be independent from the executive officers of the Company (as stated in Part 1. section (1) “Outline of the Plan” (d) above, Messrs. Mamoru Ozaki, Tomoharu Kuda and Naoto Nakamura were appointed as the members of the Independent Committee upon the renewal of the Plan).

          In the event of a Purchase, as described above in section (2) of Part 1. “Procedures of the Plan”, such Independent Committee shall, in accordance with the rules of the Independent Committee, make substantial decisions such as whether such Purchase is detrimental to the corporate value of the Company and the common interests of the shareholders, and the board of directors shall make decisions as an organization under the Corporate Law, giving the utmost respect to such decisions.

          The Independent Committee shall strictly monitor the situation to prevent the board of directors from making an arbitrary decision concerning the implementation of a gratis allocation of Share Acquisition Rights. In addition, the outline for the decisions by the Independent Committee will be disclosed to the shareholders to ensure that the operation of the Plan promotes the corporate value of the Company and the common interests of the shareholders.

(d)

Establishment of Reasonably Objective Requirements

          As described in Part 1. section (2)(d) and Part 1. section (3) above, the Plan is constituted so that the Share Acquisition Rights will not be granted unless reasonable, detailed and objective requirements have been satisfied. Thus, it is considered that a scheme will be established to prevent any arbitrary implementation by the board of directors.

(e)

Opinion of Outside Experts

          As stated in Part 1. section (2)(c) above, if there is a Purchaser, the Independent Committee may obtain advice from independent outside experts (including financial advisors, legal counsel, certified public accountants, consultants and other experts) at the cost of the Company. This will strongly ensure fair and/or objective judgments by the Independent Committee.

(f)

Term of Office of the Company’s Director is One Year

          The term of office of Company’s director shall be one (1) year. Therefore, even during the effective period of the Plan, the intentions of the shareholders will be sufficiently reflected in the Basic Policy and the Plan through the election of the Company’s directors every year.

	(e)		A holder of the Share Acquisition Rights may exercise the Share Acquisition Rights only if such holder submits to the Company a written statement containing the representations and warranties including, but not limited to, the fact that the holder is neither an Unqualified Party nor a party who has an intention to exercise the Share Acquisition Rights for or on behalf of any Unqualified Parties and that the holder satisfies the conditions for the exercise of the Share Acquisition Rights, indemnity clauses and other pledges prescribed by the Company, as well as any written statement required under the laws and regulations.
