Business Continuity Plan

Our approach
JASDEC has regularly structured itself so that, in the event of a disaster or other emergency, it would beable to continue operations to the extent possible or promptly resume business operations according to
its Basic BCP policy. This is to minimize the effect of such an emergency on JASDEC participants andrelated entities as a settlement infrastructure.
The specific measures taken by JASDEC include formulating concrete action plans in advance.
JASDEC has defined actions to be taken in the event of a disaster or other emergency, established BCP
Countermeasure Office, delegated authority, organized emergency contact networks, and so on. Our IT
systems are installed in a robust main center equipped with a private electrical generator, and our coresystems are based on a redundant configuration. Furthermore, we have built a backup center in a remotelocation to be prepared in case the main center becomes unusable.

IT backup system
Operations data of the main center is reflected at the backup center almost in real time. In cases where
the main center becomes unusable due to a disaster, infrastructure failure (excluding software failure) orother such event, and the restoration task is deemed to be time-consuming, the systems will be switchedover to the backup center. Switchover to backup systems will take about 90 minutes. Furthermore,
to prepare for the prospect of the head office building becoming unusable, we have established analternative office where we can execute operations as necessary.

Main initiatives in FY2013
JASDEC continued its efforts to ensure the availability of the management resources needed to maintain16

operations in the event of a disaster leading to reduced lifeline functionality and other problems. The main
initiatives undertaken in fiscal 2013 are outlined below.
