The foregoing notwithstanding, if deemed necessary by the Corporation, instead of the Related Company granting a monetary compensation receivable to the Recipient, the Corporation may take measures it deems appropriate, such as having such Related Company pay money to such Recipient in an amount equal to the amount of such monetary compensation receivable. In this case, such Recipient shall acquire the shares of common stock of the Corporation in the Number of Shares for RSUs by paying cash to the Corporation in exchange for such shares. If the total number of issued shares of common stock of the Corporation increases or decreases due to stock consolidation or stock split (including free distribution of shares (*musho wariate*)), the Corporation will adjust the number of shares to be delivered by multiplying such number by the ratio of the consolidation or split.

In addition, the amount to be paid per share for the shares of common stock of the Corporation to be transferred under the Plan shall be determined by the Corporation (i) based on the closing price of the share of common stock of the Corporation in the regular trading thereof on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on the trading day immediately preceding the date when the Representative Corporate Executive Officer of the Corporation makes a decision with respect to such transfer (or, if no transaction has been effected on such trading day, the closing price on the immediately preceding trading day) and (ii) at a price that is not particularly favorable to the Recipients and within a range that will be in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

If any special circumstances make it difficult to deliver the shares of common stock of the Corporation or if the Corporation otherwise deems it necessary, the Corporation may, in its discretion, pay monies of equal value as a substitute for the delivery of the shares of common stock of the Corporation.

and the Sixteenth Series RSUs

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Events that would extinguish the RSUs

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Handling in the event where reorganization or any other similar events occur

If a proposal with respect to a merger agreement under which the Corporation will be dissolved, a share exchange agreement or a share transfer plan under which the Corporation will become a wholly-owned subsidiary, or any other reorganization is approved at a shareholders' meeting of the Corporation (or by the Board of the Corporation if such approval at a shareholders' meeting of the Corporation is not required with respect to such reorganization) or any other events stipulated by the Corporation occur, the Corporation may deliver to the Recipients the shares of common stock of the Corporation, money, or shares of the other party to such reorganization in the number or amount reasonably stipulated in accordance with the resolution of the Compensation Committee or the decision of the Representative Corporate Executive Officer of the Corporation based on the period that has elapsed between the date of grant and the effective date of such reorganization or any other factors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) Restriction on disposal of the RSUs

The Recipients may not transfer or encumber or otherwise dispose of any RSUs in any manner whatsoever.
