7. Our manufacturing sites serving the automotive business apply the IATF 16949 stan-

dard. The IATF certifications confirm our compliance with requirements regarding the quality

management system in the automotive industry. Referring to customer requirements and cus-

tomer specific requirements (“CSR”) TDK always has and will continue to have the policy of

respecting individual agreements. Even if IATF 16949 may appear to support the acceptance

of unilateral requirements, we hereby like to emphasize that only requirements mutually

agreed upon can and will be implemented in our Quality Management System. For clari-

fication purposes we like to point out that obligations from IATF 16949 shall only become

legally binding if individually agreed upon.
