(a)    Subject to Section 4.3, J&A Alliance Trust shall not Beneficially Own shares of Company Common Stock in excess of (i) 10% of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock during the Restricted Period and (ii) after the expiration of the Restricted Period, the greater of (A) 10% of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock and (B) shares of Company Common Stock representing 22.5% of the aggregate voting rights of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock as of the record date of the most recent annual or special meeting of the shareholders of the Company (the “Voting Rights Cap” and, in each case of Clauses (i) and (ii), the “Ownership Cap”); provided, however, that, if, following the expiration of the Restricted Period, J&A Alliance Trust Transfers a number of shares of Company Common Stock resulting in its Beneficial Ownership of shares of Company Common Stock being less than 6% of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, then the Ownership Cap shall thereafter be 10% of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock; provided, further, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing proviso shall not apply in the event that J&A Alliance Trust’s Beneficial Ownership of shares of Company Common Stock falls below 6% of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock as a result of dilutive issuances of shares of Company Common Stock by the Company.

(b)    For purposes of this Agreement, unless otherwise expressly stated herein, all determinations of the amount of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall be based on information set forth in the most recent quarterly or annual report, or the most recent applicable current report subsequent thereto, filed by the Company with, or furnished by the Company to, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), unless the Company shall have updated such information by delivery of written notice to Japan Post, the Trustee or J&A Alliance Trust.

(c)    For purposes of this Agreement, unless otherwise expressly stated herein, all determinations of the amount or percentage of J&A Alliance Trust’s voting rights with respect to the Company Common Stock shall be based on the information provided pursuant to Section 6.3(b)(ii) in the Company’s most recent Form 8-K.

(d)    The shares of Company Common Stock acquired by or on behalf of J&A Alliance Trust shall be recorded as directly registered shares held by the Trustee in its capacity as trustee of J&A Alliance Trust on the share register of the Company. Neither Japan Post nor any of its controlled Affiliates, other than Japan Post Investment Funds, shall at any time Beneficially Own any shares of Company Common Stock other than as the settlor or beneficiary of J&A Alliance Trust in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 2.2(d), none of J&A Alliance Trust, the Trustee and the Trustee Owner shall be deemed controlled “Affiliates” of Japan Post.

(e)    The Japan Post Parties shall cause any shares of Company Common Stock acquired by or on behalf of J&A Alliance Trust through a broker to be transferred into the Trustee’s name, in its capacity as trustee of the J&A Alliance Trust, and recorded as directly registered shares held by the Trustee in its capacity as trustee of the J&A Alliance Trust on the books of the Company within ten (10) Business Days of such acquisition and the Trustee shall maintain such direct registration until any such shares are Transferred in accordance with this Agreement. The Company shall take all action necessary to cause the Company’s transfer agent to accept such Company Common Stock and register them in the name of the Trustee, in its capacity as trustee of the J&A Alliance Trust and to facilitate any Transfer through facilities of The Depository Trust Company.

Section 2.3    Securities Laws. Each of the Japan Post Parties shall, in the course of the Trustee’s or J&A Alliance Trust’s acquisition of any shares of Company Common Stock, comply with all applicable Laws, including pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act of Japan; provided, that the Japan Post Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to provide drafts to the Company, in the case of United States filings and submissions, and to Aflac Japan, in the case of Japanese filings and submissions, of any filing to be made with, or written materials to be submitted to, any Governmental Authority in compliance with such applicable Laws in connection with the Trustee’s or J&A Alliance Trust’s acquisition of any shares of Company Common Stock, and the Japan Post Parties shall consider in good faith any comments or views of the Company thereon; provided, however, that such obligation shall not extend to communications with or inquiries by any Japanese Governmental Authority that are either (i) primarily related to other matters, or (ii) reasonably expected in the course of ordinary regulatory interaction or required by such Japanese Governmental Authority to remain confidential.

Section 2.4    Acquisition Notice. As promptly as reasonably practicable following the end of each calendar month during which J&A Alliance Trust acquires Beneficial Ownership of any shares of Company Common Stock, Japan Post shall notify the Company in writing of the number of shares of Company Common Stock so acquired during such month.

Section 2.5    Preemptive Rights.

(a)    If the Company proposes to issue any shares of Company Common Stock (including issuances of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to exchangeable or convertible securities of the Company or other securities exercisable for shares of Company Common Stock (upon exercise or in accordance with the terms thereof)) or any other Company Securities carrying voting rights that are entitled to vote together with Company Common Stock (collectively, “New Securities”), the Trustee shall have the right to purchase, and J&A Alliance Trust shall have the right to acquire, up to such number of shares of Company Common Stock that would allow J&A Alliance Trust to maintain Beneficial Ownership of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, after giving effect to the issuance of the applicable New Securities, that is no less than J&A Alliance Trust’s Pre-Issuance Ownership Percentage (such shares, the “Preemptive Rights Shares”); provided, however, that (subject to Section 2.5(g), below) the Trustee shall not have this purchase right, and J&A Alliance Trust shall not have this acquisition right, to the extent that an issuance of the Preemptive Rights Shares to J&A Alliance Trust would require approval of the shareholders of the Company

9

pursuant to Rule 312 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual or any successor rule thereof (the “NYSE Rule”), unless such shareholder approval is obtained. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Company issues securities, other than Company Common Stock, that are exchangeable for, or convertible into, or otherwise exercisable for, shares of Company Common Stock, the Trustee shall only be entitled to exercise its right to purchase Preemptive Rights Shares pursuant to this Section 2.5 concurrently with, or as promptly as practicable following, the issuance of the shares of Company Common Stock underlying such securities.

(b)    In the case of an issuance of New Securities which are exchangeable for, or convertible into, or otherwise exercisable for, shares of Company Common Stock, the Company shall, prior to or concurrently with such issuance of New Securities, deliver a written notice to the Trustee (the “Pre-Notice”) (i) stating the Company’s intention to issue such securities, (ii) stating the amount of such securities that the Company proposes to issue in the aggregate and, correspondingly, the number of Preemptive Rights Shares that the Trustee could be entitled to purchase and J&A Alliance Trust could be entitled to acquire in the future, (iii) informing the Trustee that it may have a future right to elect to purchase such Preemptive Rights Shares, which right shall be exercisable upon delivery of a Preemptive Rights Notice (defined below) and (iv) stating the price of such Preemptive Rights Shares based on the issuance price of such New Securities (or if such prices are not clearly identifiable, the formula for determining the price upon exchange, conversion or exercise or, if no such formula is available, such effective price per share as is reasonably determined by the Company in good faith). The Company shall provide the right contemplated by Section 2.5(a) to the Trustee and J&A Alliance Trust by delivering a written notice to the Trustee (the “Preemptive Rights Notice”) stating (i) in the case of an issuance of Company Common Shares, (x) the Company’s intention to issue New Securities, (y) the amount of such New Securities that the Company proposes to issue in the aggregate and, correspondingly, the number of Preemptive Rights Shares that the Trustee is entitled to purchase and J&A Alliance Trust is entitled to acquire and (z) the price of such New Securities (or (1) if such prices are not clearly identifiable, such effective price per share as is reasonably determined by the Company in good faith or (2) in the case of issuances of restricted stock, the fair market value of such restricted stock as determined by the Company in the ordinary course in connection with such issuance) and (ii) in the case of an issuance of Company Common Stock upon the exchange, conversion, or exercise of New Securities described in a Pre-Notice, the amount of such securities that will or have been exchanged, converted or exercised for Company Common Stock and the resulting number of Preemptive Rights Shares that the Trustee is entitled to purchase and J&A Alliance Trust is entitled to acquire. Within ten (10) Business Days following the delivery of the Preemptive Rights Notice by the Company to the Trustee, the Trustee may, by delivery of a written notice of acceptance to the Company (the “Acceptance Notice”), elect to purchase all, or any portion, of the Preemptive Rights Shares that the Trustee is then entitled to purchase and J&A Alliance Trust is then entitled to acquire pursuant to this Section 2.5 for the price (or the price determined by application of any applicable formula) indicated in the Pre-Notice or the Preemptive Rights Notice, as applicable. The delivery of the Acceptance Notice shall be evidence of the Trustee’s irrevocable commitment to purchase the number of Preemptive Rights Shares indicated in the Acceptance Notice for the price indicated in the Pre-Notice or the Preemptive Rights Notice, as applicable, and the consummation of the sale and purchase of the Preemptive Rights Shares shall occur concurrently with or as promptly as practicable following the Company’s issuance of the corresponding New Securities.

10

(c)    Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.5 to the contrary, if the amount of New Securities to be issued is for any reason less than the amount that was initially proposed to be issued as indicated in the Preemptive Rights Notice, the Company may (whether before or after the Trustee has delivered an Acceptance Notice to the Company) decrease the number of Preemptive Rights Shares that the Trustee is entitled to purchase and J&A Alliance Trust is entitled to acquire pursuant to this Section 2.5 to an amount not less than the amount necessary to allow J&A Alliance Trust to maintain (but not exceed) its Pre-Issuance Ownership Percentage after giving effect to the issuance of the applicable New Securities.

(d)    Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.5 to the contrary, if the amount of New Securities to be issued is for any reason greater than the amount that was initially proposed to be issued as indicated in the Preemptive Rights Notice, the Trustee may, by delivery of an Acceptance Notice (whether or not the Trustee has previously delivered an Acceptance Notice to the Company), increase the number of Preemptive Rights Shares it elects to purchase and J&A Alliance Trust elects to acquire pursuant to this Section 2.5 to an amount not less than the amount necessary to allow J&A Alliance Trust to maintain (but not exceed) its Pre-Issuance Ownership Percentage after giving effect to the issuance of the applicable New Securities.

(e)    Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.5 to the contrary, Section 2.5(a) shall not apply, and the Company shall have no obligation to sell, and the Trustee shall have no right to purchase from the Company and J&A Alliance Trust shall have no right to acquire, any shares of Company Common Stock or any other securities of the Company, if the Company proposes to issue New Securities:

(i)    pursuant to any employee benefits or other compensation plan approved by the Board and the shareholders of the Company;

(ii)    in connection with any acquisition by the Company, whether by merger, consolidation, acquisition of assets, sale or exchange of stock, other business combination or otherwise, in each case, pursuant to which any such New Securities are being issued as consideration therefor;

(iii)    upon any stock dividend, stock split or other pro rata distribution, subdivision or combination of securities or other recapitalization of the Company;

(iv)    pursuant to any direct stock purchase and dividend reinvestment plan (or any similar successor plan) of the Company; or

(v)    pursuant to the terms of a “poison pill” or other similar shareholder rights plan approved by the Board.

(f)    Upon the Company’s issuance of any Preemptive Rights Shares, such Preemptive Rights Shares shall be (i) validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and (ii) duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company.

11

(g)    In the event that the Company proposes an issuance of New Securities and the full number of Preemptive Rights Shares that would be issued to the Trustee and J&A Alliance Trust pursuant to Section 2.5(a) in connection with such issuance of New Securities would exceed the amount that the Company could issue to the Trustee and J&A Alliance Trust without shareholder approval pursuant to the NYSE Rule (a “Shareholder Approval Issuance”), the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain approval for such Preemptive Rights Shares by the shareholders of the Company for the issuance to J&A Alliance Trust of the Preemptive Rights Shares (it being understood that no Shareholder Approval Issuance will be conditioned on the receipt of approval for issuance to J&A Alliance Trust of the applicable Preemptive Rights Shares); provided, that, if shareholder approval of the issuance to J&A Alliance Trust is not obtained, the applicable number of Preemptive Rights Shares shall automatically be decreased to one share of Company Common Stock less than as would require shareholder approval pursuant to the NYSE Rule.

ARTICLE VIII

COVENANTS; COMMITMENTS

Section 8.1    Regulatory Matters.

(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Party agrees to use, and shall cause each of its controlled Affiliates to use, its reasonable best efforts to exercise all such powers and take, or cause to be taken, all such steps and actions and do, or cause to be done, all such things, and to assist and cooperate with the other Parties in doing all such things, in each case, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable, in order to (i) obtain, or cause to be obtained, the Required Regulatory Approvals and any other consents, approvals, confirmations or authorizations required by any Governmental Authority, as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event by the one year anniversary of the date on which J&A Alliance Trust first acquires any shares of Company Common Stock (such date, the “Outside Date”) and (ii) ensure that neither Japan Post nor the Government of Japan, directly or indirectly, owns or

21

controls the Company or any of its U.S. insurance company Subsidiaries for U.S. insurance Law purposes. For the avoidance of doubt, no Party shall be considered to be in breach of this provision as a result of the failure to take any action with respect to any regulatory requirement, condition, request or approval that would be reasonably likely to (i) conflict with the requirements of another applicable insurance regulator of the Company or any of its U.S. insurance company Subsidiaries or (ii) cause the Company or any of its U.S. insurance company Subsidiaries to be in breach of any applicable U.S. insurance law, including with respect to government ownership or control. For the avoidance of doubt, if any Governmental Authority determines at any time that the license or certificate of authority to conduct an insurance business of any insurance company Subsidiary of the Company must be surrendered or will be suspended or revoked as a result of any of the Company’s U.S. insurance company Subsidiaries being deemed to be under direct or indirect government ownership or control as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the efforts required by this Section 8.1(a) shall include, as a last resort after exhaustion of all other available remedies, and after the Parties have, in cooperation with each other, used their respective reasonable best efforts to cause the applicable Governmental Authority to agree to alternate remedies, causing J&A Alliance Trust to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of its shares of Company Common Stock or other Company Securities to the extent necessary to achieve compliance with any applicable Law or Order in an orderly manner as mutually agreed in good faith by the Parties. Each Party agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to promptly provide, or cause to be provided, all agreements, documents, instruments, affidavits or information, including biographical information and fingerprints of individuals, that may be required or requested by any Governmental Authority relating to any Party or its or their structure, ownership, businesses, operations, regulatory and legal compliance, assets, liabilities, financing, financial condition or results of operations, or any of its or their directors, officers, employees, partners, members or shareholders to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b)    In furtherance of and without limiting the foregoing, the Trustee shall, and Japan Post and the Trustee shall cause J&A Alliance Trust to, file applications regarding the acquisition of control of or merger with a domestic insurer, together with all agreements, documents, instruments, affidavits, or information, including biographical information and fingerprints of individuals, that may be required or requested in connection with such applications with the Domiciliary Regulators (collectively, the “Form A Filings”) within thirty (30) Business Days after the date of this Agreement and supply as promptly as practicable to the appropriate Governmental Authority any additional information and documentary material that may be requested in connection with the Form A Filings.

(c)    Each Party shall reasonably cooperate with the other Parties with respect to obtaining the Required Regulatory Approvals and each Party shall keep the other Parties apprised on a prompt basis of the status of matters relating to the Required Regulatory Approvals; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not require the Company to cooperate in obtaining any Required Regulatory Approval if such approval would be reasonably likely to cause the Company or any of its U.S. insurance company Subsidiaries to be in breach of any applicable U.S. insurance law, including with respect to government ownership or control. Each Party shall give to the other Parties prompt written notice if it receives any notice or other communication from any Governmental Authority in connection with the Required Regulatory

22

Approvals or otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and, in the case of any such notice or communication which is in writing, shall promptly furnish the other Party with a copy thereof; provided, however, that such obligation to disclose shall not extend to communications with or inquiries by any Japanese Governmental Authority that are either (i) primarily related to other matters or (ii) reasonably expected in the course of ordinary regulatory interaction or required by such Japanese Governmental Authority to remain confidential. Except for each Party’s initial filing pursuant to the HSR Act, each of the Parties shall have the right to review in advance and, to the extent practicable, and subject to any restrictions under applicable Law, each Party shall consult with the other Parties in advance on, any filing to be made with, or written materials to be submitted to, any Governmental Authority in connection with the Required Regulatory Approvals or otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each Party agrees to in good faith consider any comments or views of the other Parties thereon; provided, however, that such obligation to review and consult with the other Parties shall not extend to communications with or inquiries by any Japanese Governmental Authority that are either (i) primarily related to other matters or (ii) reasonably expected in the course of ordinary regulatory interaction or required by such Japanese Governmental Authority to remain confidential. Subject to the proviso in the preceding sentence, each Party shall (i) promptly furnish to the other Parties copies of all such filings and written materials after their filing or submission, in each case, subject to applicable Law and (ii) give to the other Parties reasonable prior written notice of the time and place when any meetings, telephone calls or other conferences may be held by it with any Governmental Authority in connection with the Required Regulatory Approvals or otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and, to the extent practicable and permitted by applicable Law and such Governmental Authority, the other Party shall have the right to have a representative or representatives attend or otherwise participate in any such meeting, telephone call or other conference.

(d)    Each Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to take any action to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement so as to enable J&A Alliance Trust to Beneficially Own shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the efforts required by this Section 8.1(d) shall not include any efforts that result in a license or certificate of authority to conduct an insurance business of any insurance company Subsidiary of the Company being suspended or revoked.

(e)    Each Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate with the other Parties to exercise all such powers and take, or cause to be taken, all such steps and actions and to do, or cause to be done, all such things, and to assist and cooperate with the other Parties in doing all such things, in each case, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable in connection with any ongoing regulatory matters related to or arising from J&A Alliance Trust’s acquisition or ownership or control of the shares of Company Common Stock that may arise from time to time, including using reasonable best efforts to (i) make changes to J&A Alliance Trust or the Trust Agreement that may be required by a Governmental Authority, (ii) promptly respond to requests from any Governmental Authority and prepare and submit regulatory filings or documents required to be prepared under applicable Laws or by a Governmental Authority, including any applications or filings required in connection with a direct or indirect acquisition of control of or merger with an insurer by the Company or its Affiliates and (iii) respond to inquiries for and

23

make any regulatory filings or submit any documents as may be necessary to enable the Company’s current or prospective insurance company Subsidiaries to conduct business in any jurisdiction from time to time; provided that, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), such actions shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Company.

(f)    Each of the Japan Post Parties shall, and shall cause each of its controlled Affiliates to, use its reasonable best efforts to comply in all material respects with all applicable U.S. insurance Laws and any other applicable Laws related to foreign ownership or government control.

(g)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, subject to the third sentence of Section 8.1(a), none of the Japan Post Parties shall be obligated to take or refrain from taking or to agree to it, or any of their respective Affiliates taking or refraining from taking, any action, or to permit or suffer to exist any restriction, condition, limitation or requirement which, individually or together with all such other actions, restrictions, conditions, limitations or requirements imposed by Governmental Authorities in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Trust Agreement or the Basic Agreement would or would reasonably be expected to result in Japan Post’s inability to apply equity method accounting under Japanese regulations or generally accepted accounting principles (in each case, as in effect from time to time) in respect of J&A Alliance Trust’s investment in the Company.

(h)    In the event that any Required Regulatory Approval has not been obtained prior to the Outside Date and J&A Alliance Trust then Beneficially Owns any shares of Company Common Stock, the Trustee shall, and shall cause J&A Alliance Trust to, use commercially reasonable efforts to Transfer such number of shares of Company Common Stock in excess of the lesser of (i) 4% of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock and (ii) the percentage of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock necessary for J&A Alliance Trust to be in compliance with all applicable Laws, within one hundred eighty (180) days following the Outside Date pursuant to Permitted Non-Public Transfers or Permitted Public Transfers, subject to all of the terms and conditions of Article IV, other than the provisions of Section 4.2; provided, however, that, in the event that any outstanding Required Regulatory Approval as of the Outside Date is reasonably expected by Japan Post or the Company to be obtained, then Japan Post and the Company shall negotiate in good faith a reasonable extension of the Outside Date.

Section 8.2    Further Assurances.

(a)    Each of the Parties shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as may be reasonably required or desirable in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b)    The Parties agree that, if any of the arrangements contemplated by this Agreement, the Trust Agreement or the Basic Agreement could reasonably be expected to result in Japan Post’s inability to use equity method accounting under Japanese regulations and/or generally accepted accounting principles (as in effect from time to time) for J&A Alliance

24

Trust’s investment in the Company, each of the Parties shall use its reasonable best efforts, as applicable, in each case, subject to any regulatory requirements, to adjust such arrangements to the extent necessary so as to permit Japan Post to equity account for J&A Alliance Trust’s investment in the Company; provided, that the economic and legal substance of such adjusted arrangements shall be substantially equivalent to that of the arrangements contemplated initially by this Agreement, the Trust Agreement and/or the Basic Agreement, as applicable. Japan Post agrees to use reasonable best efforts to (i) promptly notify the Company if at any time the arrangements contemplated by any of this Agreement, the Trust Agreement or the Basic Agreement would result in Japan Post’s inability to use equity method accounting for J&A Alliance Trust’s investment in the Company, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis upon which Japan Post believes it would be unable to use equity method accounting for J&A Alliance Trust’s investment in the Company, as the case may be, and (ii) make it and its representatives available to discuss such matters with the Company and its representatives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties agree that, if Japan Post is unable to use equity method accounting under Japanese regulations and/or generally accepted accounting principles (as may be in effect from time to time) for J&A Alliance Trust’s investment in the Company, the obligations of the Company shall be limited to those set forth in this Agreement and the Company shall have no liability with respect to Japan Post’s inability to use equity method accounting under Japanese regulations and/or generally accepted accounting principles (as may be in effect from time to time) for J&A Alliance Trust’s investment in the Company, other than for breach of its obligations under this Agreement.

(c)    The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to provide, and to cause its Affiliates to provide, to Japan Post and its external auditor, in a timely manner and as reasonably requested, such that the request does not unduly interfere with the Company’s business or quarterly regulatory reporting timelines, all documents and information (prepared with due care and in good faith) that Japan Post and its external auditor reasonably believe are necessary for Japan Post’s preparation of its consolidated financial statements and to comply with applicable Law following adoption of the equity accounting method; provided, that (i) the Company reasonably believes such documents or information does not constitute material non-public information with respect to the Company within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws or the Japanese Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, (ii) such request would not require the application by the Company of any accounting standard other than United States GAAP to any such documents or information, (iii) such information supports financial statements of the Company that have been reviewed or audited by an independent auditor and (iv) Japan Post shall bear the reasonable and documented cost of preparing such documents and information (which costs shall be calculated in good faith and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be limited to out-of-pocket costs). Subject to and without limiting the foregoing, the Company and its Affiliates shall use reasonable best efforts to provide information (i) that reasonably assists Japan Post in understanding the contents of the accounts on the Company’s financial statements, including the trial balances, (ii) necessary for Japan Post to convert financial information prepared in accordance with United Sates GAAP to those prepared in accordance with Japanese GAAP (PITF No.24 Practical Solution on Unification of Accounting Policies Applied to Associates Accounted for Using the Equity Method), applying Japanese GAAP (PITF No.18 Practical Solution on Unification of Accounting Policies Applied to Foreign Subsidiaries, etc. for Consolidated Financial Statements), including information related to amortization of goodwill, retirement benefit accounting, research and development fee and fair value of investment

25

None of the Company or its Affiliates shall have any liability for any inaccuracies in any documents or information specifically provided pursuant to this Section 8.2(c), other than as a result of the Company’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, this limitation on liability does not cover the Company’s financial statements and other information filed with the SEC.

(d)    All requests for information to the Company by the Japan Post Parties shall be made to the authorized individuals set forth on Schedule A hereto.

(e)    The Company shall not provide PII to the Japan Post Parties, any of their Affiliates or any of their representatives, and none of the Japan Post Parties, any of their Affiliates nor any of their representatives shall seek, either directly or through a third party, to obtain any PII held by the Company.

Section 8.3    Public Announcements. No Party shall issue or cause the publication of any press release or other public announcement with respect to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior written consent of, respectively, Japan Post and the Company; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit any Party from complying with applicable Law (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any disclosure requirements under the Exchange Act) or the rules of a securities exchange on which a Party’s securities are listed.

Section 8.4    Material Non-Public Information. None of the Japan Post Parties will request, and the Company will use reasonable best efforts not to provide to any of the Japan Post Parties, any information that would constitute material non-public information with respect to the Company within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws or the Japanese Financial Instruments and Exchange Act (other than information requested by Japan Post as contemplated by Section 6.3(b) or in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Basic Agreement between the Japan Post Parties or their respective Affiliates and the Company or its Affiliates). In the event that any such material non-public information (other than information requested by Japan Post as contemplated by Section 6.3(b) or in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Basic Agreement between the Japan Post Parties or their respective Affiliates and the Company or its Affiliates) is provided to any of the Japan Post Parties, the Company will make available to the public generally any such material non-public information by no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the first Business Day following the provision of such material non-public information.

Section 10.3    Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary relief, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached, including if the Parties fail to take any action required of them hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, and such right shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement.

Section 10.7    Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the Basic Agreement are intended by the Parties as a final expression of their agreement and intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the Parties in respect of the subject matter contained herein and therein.

This Agreement and the Basic Agreement supersede all prior agreements and understandings between the Parties with respect to such subject matter. Nothing in this Agreement or the Basic Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person, other than the Parties, any rights or remedies hereunder.

Section 10.8    Governing Law; Arbitration.

(a)    Governing Law. This Agreement, and any dispute, controversy or claims arising out of, relating to or in connection with this Agreement, or for the breach or alleged breach thereof, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to conflicts of law principles that would apply the laws of any other jurisdiction.

32

(b)    Arbitration.

(i)    Any dispute, controversy or claim between or among the Parties and arising under, relating to or in connection with, this Agreement, in any manner whatsoever, whether in contract, in tort, or otherwise, and including any dispute or controversy regarding the existence, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, or the arbitrability of any dispute, controversy or claim (each a “Dispute”), shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration administered in accordance with the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (“SIAC”) Arbitration Rules then in effect (the “Rules”), except as modified herein.

(ii)    Arbitral Tribunal. The arbitration shall be conducted by a three-member arbitral tribunal (the “Arbitral Tribunal”). The claimant shall appoint one arbitrator at the same time it files its Notice of Arbitration and the respondent shall appoint one arbitrator at the same time it files its Answer to the Notice of Arbitration. The third arbitrator, who shall serve as chair of the Arbitral Tribunal, shall be jointly appointed by the two party-nominated arbitrators within twenty-one (21) days of the appointment of the second arbitrator. If there are more than two Parties to the arbitration (with any Parties that are affiliates of each other being deemed for this purpose only to be a single Party), such Parties shall have twenty-one (21) days to agree on a panel of three arbitrators. If any arbitrator is not timely appointed within the time prescribed above, then the SIAC shall appoint that arbitrator in accordance with the Rules.

(iii)    Arbitration under this Section 10.8 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any Dispute, and any award rendered by the Arbitral Tribunal shall be final and binding on the Parties and judgment thereupon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction having jurisdiction thereof, including any court having jurisdiction over the relevant Party or its assets.

(iv)    The Arbitral Tribunal shall have power to award any remedy, including monetary damages, specific performance and all other forms of legal and equitable relief that is in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Arbitral Tribunal shall have no authority or power to limit, expand, alter, modify, revoke or suspend any condition or provision of this Agreement, nor any right or power to award punitive, exemplary, or treble damages, even when such damages are provided for by law.

(v)    The Arbitral Tribunal shall have the power to award attorney’s fees, costs and related expenses to such extent and to such Parties as it sees fit.

(vi)    The seat of the arbitration shall be Singapore and it shall be conducted in the English language.

(vii)    The Arbitral Tribunal may consolidate an arbitration with respect to a dispute (including a Dispute with respect to this Agreement) with any other arbitration with respect to any other dispute, if the subject matter of the disputes is substantially similar or otherwise arises out of or relates essentially to the same or substantially similar facts. Such consolidated arbitration shall be determined by the Arbitral Tribunal appointed for the arbitration proceeding that was commenced first in time.

33

(viii)    The parties agree that, to the extent a court of competent jurisdiction has issued a final ruling interpreting or applying the Basic Agreement, that ruling shall be binding in any arbitration under this Section 10.8. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, a ruling shall be deemed final notwithstanding the fact that it may be subject to review and reversal by an appellate court. The Arbitral Tribunal shall be empowered to address any issues involving the interpretation or application of the Basic Agreement that are not the subject of a final ruling by a court of competent jurisdiction, but solely to the extent such issues affect the Parties’ rights and obligations under this Agreement.

(ix)    The Arbitral Tribunal (and, if applicable, Emergency Arbitrator) shall have the full authority to grant any pre-arbitral injunction, pre-arbitral attachment, interim or conservatory measure or other order in aid of arbitration proceedings (“Interim Relief”). Any Interim Relief so issued shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed a final arbitration award for purposes of enforceability. Subject to the following sentence, the Parties shall exclusively submit any application for Interim Relief to only: (A) the Arbitral Tribunal; or (B) prior to the constitution of the Arbitral Tribunal, an Emergency Arbitrator appointed in the manner provided for in the Rules. The foregoing procedures shall constitute the exclusive means of seeking Interim Relief, provided, however, that (i) the Arbitral Tribunal shall have the power to continue, review, vacate or modify any Interim Relief granted by an Emergency Arbitrator; (ii) in the event an Emergency Arbitrator or the Arbitral Tribunal issues an order granting, denying or otherwise addressing Interim Relief (a “Decision on Interim Relief”), any Party may apply to enforce or require specific performance of such Decision on Interim Relief in any court of competent jurisdiction; and (iii) either Party shall retain the right to apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for freezing orders to prevent the improper dissipation of transfer of assets.

(x)    In the event any proceeding is brought in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the dispute resolution provisions in this Section 10.8, to obtain relief as described in this Section 10.8, or to enforce any award, relief or decision issued by an Arbitral Tribunal, each Party irrevocably consents to the service of process in any action by the mailing of copies of the process to the Parties hereto as provided in Section 10.1. Service effected as provided in this manner will become effective ten (10) calendar days after the mailing of the process.

(xi)    Without prejudice to the foregoing, (i) each of the Japan Post Parties hereby irrevocably appoints [NAME OF AGENT], with offices at the date of this Agreement at [ADDRESS OF SERVICE AGENT], as its authorized agent on which any and all legal process may be served in any action, suit or proceeding referred to in this Agreement that may be brought in the Republic of Singapore and (ii) the Company hereby irrevocably appoints [NAME OF AGENT], with offices at the date of this Agreement at [ADDRESS OF SERVICE AGENT], as its authorized agent on which any and all legal process may be served in any action, suit or proceeding referred to in

34

this Agreement that may be brought in the Republic of Singapore. Each Party agrees that service of process in respect of it upon its respective agent, together with notice of such service to the other party, shall be deemed to be effective service of process upon it in any such action, suit or proceeding. Each Party agrees that the failure of its respective agent to give notice to it of any such service shall not impair or affect the validity of such service or any judgment rendered in any action, suit or proceeding based thereon. If for any reason such agent shall cease to be available to act as such, each Party agrees to designate a new agent in the Republic of Singapore, on the terms and for the purposes of this Section and each Party shall, as soon as practicable, give notice to the other Parties of such new agent. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the ability of any other Party to serve any such legal process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law or to obtain jurisdiction over any such party or bring actions, suits or proceedings against it in such other jurisdictions, and in such manner, as may be permitted by applicable Law.

(xii)    EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (II) EACH SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (III) EACH SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (IV) EACH SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.8.

(xiii)    Without limiting the provisions of the Rules, unless otherwise agreed in writing by or among the relevant Parties or permitted by this Agreement, the relevant Parties shall keep confidential all matters relating to the arbitration (including the existence of the proceeding and all of its elements and including any pleadings, briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged, any testimony or other oral submissions) or the award; provided, that such matters may be disclosed (i) to the extent reasonably necessary in any proceeding brought to enforce the award or for entry of a judgment upon the award and (ii) to the extent otherwise required by law. In the event any Party makes application to any court in connection with this Section 10.8(b)(xiii) (including any proceedings to enforce a final award or any Interim Relief), that party shall take all steps reasonably within its power to cause such application, and any exhibits (including copies of any award or decisions of the Arbitral Tribunal or Emergency Arbitrator) to be filed under seal, shall oppose any challenge by any third party to such sealing, and shall give the other Party immediate notice of such challenge.

Section 10.9    Waiver of Sovereign Immunity. To the extent that any Party hereto has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution or otherwise) with respect to himself or itself or its property, such Party:

(a)    agrees that the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Agreement constitute private and commercial acts done for private and commercial purposes;

35

(b)    agrees that, should any proceedings be brought against it or its assets in any jurisdiction in relation to this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby, such Party is not entitled to sovereign immunity in respect of its obligations under this Agreement, and no sovereign immunity from such proceedings (including, without limitation, immunity from service of process from suit, from the jurisdiction of any court, from an order or injunction of such court or the enforcement of same against its assets) shall be claimed by or on behalf of such Party or with respect to its assets;

(c)    agrees that the provisions of Section 10.1 and Section 10.8 of this Agreement concerning service of notices, including as they relate to service of legal and arbitral process, shall apply to such Party;

(d)    waives, in any such proceedings, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right of sovereign immunity that it or any of its assets now has or may acquire in the future in any jurisdiction;

(e)    waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of sovereign immunity with respect to the enforcement of any judgment or award against it in any such proceedings (including, without limitation, pre-judgment attachment, post-judgment attachment, the making, enforcement or execution against or in respect of any assets whatsoever irrespective of their use or intended use of any order or judgment that may be made or given in connection therewith); and

(f)    specifies that, for the purposes of this provision, “assets” shall be taken as excluding “premises of the mission” as defined in the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations signed at Vienna, April 18, 1961, “consular premises” as defined in the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations signed in 1963, and military property or military assets or property of such Party.

Section 10.10    Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, legatees and legal representatives. This Agreement shall not be assignable by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Parties hereto. Any purported assignment without such prior written consent shall be null and void.

Section 10.11    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (by facsimile or otherwise), each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
