Each
      share of the Registrant's common stock (the "
Common
      Stock
") issuable in the United States pursuant to the Rules of the
      Advantest Corporation Incentive Stock Option Plan 2009 (the "2009 Plan")
      and the Rules of the Advantest Corporation Incentive Stock Option Plan
      2010 (the "2010 Plan") (collectively, the "
Plans
")
      will be represented by one (1) American Depositary Shares ("
ADSs
")
      on deposit with JPMorgan Chase Bank (formerly known as Morgan Guaranty
      Trust Company of New York), as depositary bank (the "
Depositary
").  Each
      ADS will be evidenced by one (1) American Depositary Receipt issued by the
      Depositary.  A separate registration statement on Form F-6
      (Registration No. 333-13886) was filed with the Securities and Exchange
      Commission (the "
Commission
")
      on September 5, 2001 (as subsequently amended on Form F-6 POS filed with
      the Commission on September 12, 2006), for the registration of ADSs
      issuable upon deposit of shares of Common
Stock.
(2)
This
      registration statement on Form S-8 (this "Registration Statement")
      registers an aggregate of (i) 18,000 shares of Common Stock available for
      issuance under the 2009 Plan and (ii) 30,000 shares of Common Stock
      available for issuance under the 2010 Plan.  Pursuant to Rule
      416(c) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "
Securities
      Act
"), there is also being registered such number of additional
      shares of Common Stock that may become available for issuance under the
      Plans in the event of certain changes in the outstanding shares of Common
      Stock, including reorganizations, mergers, recapitalizations,
      restructurings, stock dividends, stock splits, reverse stock splits and
      reclassifications.

Pursuant
      to Rule 457(h) under the Securities Act, the Proposed Maximum Offering
      Price Per Share and the Proposed Maximum Aggregate Offering Price for the
      shares of Common Stock subject to currently outstanding options are based
      on the per share exercise price of the options.  The per share
      exercise price is (i) 1,844 Yen for the 18,000 shares under the 2009 Plan
      and (ii) 2,089 Yen for the 30,000 shares under the 2010
      Plan.  For purposes of calculating the filing fee, the exercise
      price has been converted to U.S. Dollars using the Yen rate released by
      the Federal Reserve Board for September 11, 2009 for options granted
      under the 2009 Plan and the Yen rate published in the Wall Street Journal
      on September 27, 2010 for options granted under the 2010

Indemnification
of Directors and Officers
.
Articles 330 of the Corporate Law of
Japan (the "
Corporate
Law
") make the provisions of Section 10, Chapter 2, Book III of the Civil
Code of Japan applicable to the relationships between the Registrant and its
directors and corporate auditors, respectively.  Section 10, among
other things, provides in effect that:
(1)
Any
      director or corporate auditor of a company may demand advance payment of
      expenses which are considered necessary for the management of the affairs
      of such company entrusted to such director or corporate
      auditor;
(2)
If
      a director or corporate auditor of a company has defrayed any expenses
      which are considered necessary for the management of the affairs of such
      company entrusted to such director or corporate auditor, the director or
      corporate auditor may demand reimbursement therefor and interest thereon
      after the date of payment from the
company;
(3)
If
      a director or corporate auditor has assumed an obligation necessary for
      the management of affairs entrusted to such director or corporate auditor,
      the director or corporate auditor may require the company to perform it in
      such director's or corporate auditor's place or, if it is not due, to
      furnish adequate security; and
(4)
If
      a director or corporate auditor, without any fault on such director's or
      corporate auditor's part, sustains damage through the management of the
      affairs entrusted to such director or corporate auditor, the director or
      corporate auditor may demand compensation therefor from the
      company.
Under Article 388 of the Corporate Law,
a company may not refuse a demand from a corporate auditor referred to in
subparagraphs (1) through (3) above unless the company establishes that the
relevant expense or obligation was or is not necessary for the performance of
the corporate auditor's duties.
Pursuant to Article 426 of the
Corporate Law and to the extent permitted by law and regulations, the Registrant
may, by resolution of its board of directors, exempt the liabilities of its
directors and corporate auditors (including persons who have previously served
as the Registrant's directors or corporate auditors).  Pursuant to
Article 427 of the Corporate Law, Article 28 and 39 of the Registrant's Articles
of Incorporation and to the extent permitted by law and regulations, the
Registrant may conclude an agreement with its outside directors and outside
corporate auditors to limit the liability for damages of the Registrant caused
by non-performance of their duties.
7
The Registrant maintains a directors'
insurance policy to insure its directors and corporate auditors against
liability for actions or omissions occurring in their capacity as director or
corporate auditor, subject to certain exclusions and limitations.

Undertakings.
(a)
The
      undersigned Registrant hereby
undertakes:
(1)
To
      file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
      post-effective amendment to this Registration
  Statement:
(i)
To
      include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities
      Act;
(ii)
To
      reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective
      date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective
      amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
      fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration
      Statement; and
(iii)
To
      include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution
      not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material
      change to such information in this Registration
  Statement;
provided
,
however
, that paragraphs
(a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the information
required to be in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant
pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference into this Registration Statement;
(2)
That,
      for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
      each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
      registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
      offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof; and
8
(3)
To
      remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
      securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
      offering.
(b)           The
undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual
report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering
thereof.
(c)           Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.
