(b)    Neither the Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall amend, terminate, waive or fail to enforce any provisions of any confidentiality agreement with respect to any potential Acquisition Proposal, and the Seller shall promptly request, in accordance with the terms of any such confidentiality agreement, the return or destruction of any confidential information previously furnished pursuant thereto.
Section 6.9    Press Releases and Announcements; Contacts with Customers and Suppliers.

56



Agreement”). The Parties agree that (i) the Non-Disclosure Agreement is in full force and effect through the Closing Date, and (ii) following the Closing Date, the Non-Disclosure Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect in accordance with its terms.
(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, following the Closing, (i) all Trade Secrets included in the Transferred Assets shall constitute confidential information of the Buyer Parent (and not of the Seller), irrespective of whether such Trade Secrets were identified or otherwise designated as “confidential”, and the Seller shall be deemed the “receiving party” and the Buyer Parent the “disclosing party” with respect thereto; (ii) the Buyer Parent shall have no obligations whatsoever under the Non-Disclosure Agreement with respect to such Trade Secrets; and (iii) with respect to such Trade Secrets, the Seller’s obligations pursuant to the Non-Disclosure Agreement shall apply until the earlier of either (A) the time when such Trade Secrets become publicly known other than through negligence or any other wrongful act or omission of the Seller or any of its Affiliates or (B) the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date.
Section 6.11    Expenses. Each of the Buyer Parent and the Seller shall bear its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Transactions, and, to the extent this Agreement is terminated because of a fraud, intentional misrepresentation, or material breach by the other Party, and such terminating Party is not in breach of its obligations under this Agreement, then the breaching Party will be responsible for the fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of the non-breaching Party in connection with the negotiation and entry into this Agreement; provided, however, that (a) each of the Buyer Parent and the Seller shall equally (one-half each) bear (i) HSR filing fee (if filing is necessary), (ii) charges or fees that may be imposed by HDB or other regulatory authorities for subletting the relevant part of the Singapore Facility used in connection with the Filter Business, if any, and (iii) certain transfer taxes and/or goods and service taxes (if applicable) imposed on the Parties in connection to the Transactions, and (b) FilterCo and FilterSub, as applicable, shall bear the fees and costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with recording the assignment of the Transferred Patents under the Kaisha Bunkatsu Documents and the Singapore Business Transfer Agreement.
Section 6.12    Consents. Each of the Seller, FilterCo and FilterSub shall use its best efforts to obtain any consent in order to transfer the Transferred Assets or Assumed Contracts as contemplated by the Transactions. If any such consent is not obtained, the Parties shall reasonably cooperate, during the six (6)-month period after the Closing, to obtain such consents as soon as practicable. During such six (6)-month period, and for an additional six (6)-month period thereafter with respect to any Assumed Contract or Transferred Asset for which the consent is not obtained and which are central to the Filter Business, other than the Business Process Agreements, the Parties shall use their best efforts to cooperate and explore arrangements practically feasible and reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer Parent, the Buyer and the Seller under which FilterCo or FilterSub, as the case may be and at its own expense, would obtain rights of, and benefits to, such Assumed Contract or Transferred Asset, including, if appropriate, by performing services under any such Assumed Contract under a contract for the benefit of FilterCo or FilterSub, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, (a) as for the Transferred Assets and the Assumed Contracts to be transferred from PIDSG to FilterSub, if any consent is not obtained, the relevant agreement or asset shall not constitute an assignment or transfer of such agreement or asset, and FilterSub shall not assume PIDSG’s rights or obligations under such agreement or asset, and (b) neither the Seller nor PIDSG shall assume any liabilities or obligations

57



of, or indemnify against any Losses incurred by the Buyer Parent, the Buyer, FilterCo or FilterSub arising out of or in relation to any failure in obtaining such consent.

(ii)    For at least five (5) years after the Closing, the Buyer Parent and the Buyer shall use their best efforts to cause FilterCo or FilterSub, as applicable, to maintain the employment of the Filter Business Employees whose employment is transferred to FilterCo or FilterSub, subject to termination or other actions as a result of due disciplinary cause, or matters described on Schedule 6.13, by designing and maintaining employment conditions (salary, benefit program, etc.) and other human resources strategies (performance-based salary system, stock option, other incentive programs, etc.) for and to the Filter Business Employees whose employment is transferred to FilterCo or FilterSub to ensure long-term employee retention in a highly motivated culture.
(b)    No Third-Party Beneficiaries. No provision of this Agreement shall create any third-party beneficiary rights in any employee of FilterCo or FilterSub, or any Filter Business Employee, or any of their respective beneficiaries, dependents, or collective bargaining representatives, with respect to the compensation, terms and conditions of employment and benefits that may be provided to any employee of FilterCo, any employee of any of the Subsidiaries, or any Filter Business Employee by the Buyer or its Affiliates or under any Benefit Arrangement which the Buyer or its Affiliates may maintain, or otherwise.

Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Losses incurred by a Seller Indemnitee reasonably arising out of (i) the breach of any representation or warranty made by the Buyer in this Agreement (provided that for purposes of determining whether a Loss occurred and its amount, all references to materiality, Material Adverse Effect, or other similar qualifiers contained in any of the representations and warranties of the Seller shall be disregarded), (ii) the breach of any covenant, obligation or agreement made by the Buyer or the Buyer Parent in this Agreement and any other Buyer Transaction Document, and (iii) the Assumed Liabilities.
(b)    Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.3(a), the Buyer and the Buyer Parent shall have no Liability under Section 9.3(a)(i), unless and until the Losses incurred by the Seller Indemnitees in the aggregate exceed the Indemnification Basket (in which event the Buyer and the Buyer Parent shall be obligated to indemnify the Seller Indemnitees for all Losses from the first dollar), provided that the foregoing Indemnification Basket shall not apply to Losses related to any claim for indemnification with respect to (i) any of the Buyer Excluded Claims, (ii) any of the items set forth in Section 9.3(a)(ii)-(iii), and (iii) fraud or intentional misrepresentation.

Section 9.4    Indemnification Claim Procedures.
(a)    In the event that a Party entitled to indemnification pursuant to the terms hereof (an “Indemnified Party”) proposes to make any claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article IX, such Indemnified Party shall deliver a written demand signed by any officer of the Indemnified Party (a “Claim Certificate”) to the Seller (in the case of an indemnification claim from a Buyer Indemnitee) or to the Buyer (in the case of an indemnification claim from a Seller Indemnitee) which Claim Certificate contains (i) a description of and if reasonably determinable at the time such demand is delivered, the amount of any Losses incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by such Indemnified Party, (ii) a statement that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article IX and a reasonable explanation of the basis therefore, (iii) a copy of any related notices or claims filed with or received from any Governmental Entity or other Person, if readily available, and (iv) a demand for indemnification hereunder and payment of all such Losses.
(b)    The Party providing indemnity hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall deliver to the Indemnified Party, an amount, in United States Dollars, equal to the Losses set forth in the Claim Certificate within thirty (30) days of receipt thereof, unless the Indemnifying Party shall object in a written statement to the claim or claims made in the Claim Certificate, and such statement shall have been delivered to the Indemnified Party prior to the expiration of such thirty (30)-day period. In the event the Indemnifying Party does not object to a Claim Certificate within thirty (30) days following its receipt by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed to the claim set forth in the Claim Certificate and shall be precluded from raising any objection thereto following such date.

66



(c)    In case the Indemnifying Party shall object in writing to any claim or claims made in any Claim Certificate, the Indemnified Party shall have fifteen (15) days after receipt of such objection to respond thereto in a written statement. If after such fifteen (15) day period there remains a dispute as to any claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective Parties with respect to such claim. If the Parties should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both Parties and the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Indemnified Party the amount set forth in such memorandum in accordance with the terms thereof. In the event that the Parties are not able to reach an agreement, or the memorandum contains an agreement as to only a portion of the Losses in question, the Parties may resolve such dispute in the manner provided in Section 12.9(b) hereof.
(d)    In the event a claim set forth in the Claim Certificate is contested by the Indemnifying Party solely on the grounds that Losses have not been finally determined, then such claim shall be treated as an unresolved claim only with respect to the amount of Losses and not with respect to whether the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification and there shall be no indemnification for amounts incurred in connection with investigation or defending such claim until such Losses are finally determined.
Section 9.5    Additional Indemnity Provisions. The indemnification obligations of the Buyer and the Seller hereunder shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
(a)    With respect to any breach of any representations or warranties, covenants, agreements, undertakings or any other provisions by any of the Parties hereto, the remedies available to the other Parties will be strictly limited to the indemnification claims for Losses pursuant to this Article, the right to termination under Article X and specific performance under Section 12.12, and except for these remedies expressly provided for herein, no other remedies may be available with respect to such breach, regardless of whether it is based on the theory of liability for defects (kashi-tampo), tort (fuho-koi), or any other legal frame or legal theory. However, this does not apply in the case of fraud or intentional misrepresentation.
(b)    The term “Loss” or “Losses” shall mean any and all assessments, disbursements, penalties, fines, losses, Taxes (other than 50% of the goods and service tax imposed in Singapore for which Buyer has agreed to be responsible, Transfer Taxes and income Taxes imposed upon any payments made as indemnification under Section 9.2 or Section 9.3), damages (whether direct, indirect, incidental or consequential), deficiencies, settlements, judgments, costs and/or expenses, whether or not arising out of third-party claims, including legal, accounting and other costs and expenses of professionals incurred in connection with investigating, defending, settling or otherwise satisfying any and all Actions, assessments, judgments or appeals, only to the extent, however, any of the foregoing shall have legally sufficient causal relation (sohtoh-inga-kankei) with the fact and/or event which constitutes the basis of the indemnification claim, and in seeking indemnification therefor, and interest on any of the foregoing to the extent that interest is awarded thereon.
(c)    Taking into consideration that the Purchase Price is determined based on the representations, warranties, covenants and undertakings made by the Seller, FilterCo and FilterSub in this Agreement, any payments made as indemnification under Section 9.2 or Section 9.3 shall be considered adjustments to the Purchase Price to the extent permitted under Applicable Law.

67



(d)    The right to indemnification or any other remedy based on representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Seller and FilterCo or FilterSub in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall not be affected by any investigation conducted by the Buyer at any time, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) by the Buyer at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representations, warranties, covenants or agreements. The waiver by the Buyer of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty of the Seller, FilterCo, or any of the Subsidiaries, or on the performance of or compliance with such covenants or agreements of the Seller, FilterCo, or any of the Subsidiaries, will not affect the right to indemnification or any other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements.
(e)    The right to indemnification or any other remedy based on representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Buyer and the Buyer Parent in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall not be affected by any investigation conducted by FilterCo or the Seller at any time, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) by FilterCo or the Seller at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representations, warranties, covenants or agreements.
(f)    The waiver by FilterCo or the Seller of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty of the Buyer or the Buyer Parent or on the performance of or compliance with such covenants or agreements of the Buyer or the Buyer Parent, will not affect the right to indemnification or any other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements.
(g)    The Seller will have no indemnification obligations under this Article for any Losses to the extent such Losses are reflected as a liability of FilterCo or FilterSub on the Final Balance Sheet Net Assets and is taken into account in determining the Purchase Price Adjustment under Section 2.6 hereof.
(h)    Each Party will use its best efforts to mitigate any Losses in relation to which it may be entitled to seek indemnification under this Agreement.
Section 9.6    Defense of Third-Party Claims.
(a)    In the event that an Indemnified Party becomes aware of any Action (including appeals) in respect of such item (or items) by any Person other than the Indemnified Party (a “Third-Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of such Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that the failure to give a prompt notice shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party has been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. The notice of any Third-Party Claim shall include, based on information then available to the Indemnified Party, a summary in reasonable detail of the basis for the claim and a reasonable estimate of the Losses. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right in its discretion and at its expense to assume and control the defense or settlement of such Third-Party Claim through counsel of its choice (such counsel to be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party) if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) Business Days of the receipt of such notice from

68



the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim if (i) any such claim seeks, in addition to or in lieu of monetary losses, any injunctive or other equitable relief, (ii) involves criminal allegations, (iii) if such Third-Party Claim is a claim for indemnification under Section 9.2 and such claim would cause the aggregate Losses that would otherwise be paid by the Indemnifying Party under this Article IX to exceed the Indemnification Cap, (iv) relates to Taxes of FilterCo or FilterSub, or (v) there is an actual conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate (in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party after consultation with outside counsel) for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party; provided further that in the event that the Indemnifying Party is not permitted to assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall conduct the defense in a commercially reasonable manner. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such Third-Party Claim, it will conduct the defense actively, diligently and at its own expense. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and shall make available to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party. Except with the written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Indemnifying Party will not, in the defense of a Third-Party Claim, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement.
(b)    In the event that the Indemnifying Party is not entitled to assume the defense of the Indemnified Party, or if the Indemnifying Party fails or elects not to assume the defense of the Indemnified Party, against such Third-Party Claim pursuant to Section 9.6(a), the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its own expense (which expenses the Indemnified Party can recover if it is otherwise entitled to indemnification with respect to such Third-Party Claim), to defend or prosecute such Third-Party Claim in any manner as it may reasonably deem appropriate after giving written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its own expense, to defend or prosecute such Third-Party Claim. Except with the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Indemnified Party will not, in the defense of a Third-Party Claim, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement. In such case, the Indemnified Party shall conduct the defense of the Third-Party Claim actively and diligently, and the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnified Party, at the Indemnified Party’s Expense, all such witnesses, records, materials and information in the Indemnifying Party’s possession or under the Indemnifying Party’s control relating thereto as are reasonably requested by the Buyer. If any Indemnifying Party does not elect to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, which it has the right to assume hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall have no obligation to do so.
(c)    Any Losses for which it is finally determined in accordance with this Agreement that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification shall be promptly paid by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

TAX MATTERS

Section 11.1    Transfer Taxes. The Buyer Parent and the Seller shall each be responsible for 50% of any Transfer Taxes.

The Party required by Applicable Law to file a Tax Return with respect to such Transfer Taxes and make payment thereon shall do so within the time period prescribed by Applicable Law, and if the Seller, FilterCo or FilterSub is the non-filing party, then the Seller, FilterCo or FilterSub, as applicable, shall promptly remit to the Buyer the amount of any Transfer Taxes so payable by the Buyer upon receipt of notice that such Transfer Taxes are payable by the Buyer. In the event that the Buyer shall make a payment for which it is entitled to reimbursement under this Section 11.1, the Seller, FilterCo or FilterSub, as applicable, shall make such reimbursement promptly, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the presentation of a statement setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which the Buyer is entitled.

The Parties agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to one another, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to the Filter Business, the Transferred Assets, the Assumed Contracts, Licensed Patents or Licensed Non-Patent IP as are reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns, the preparation for any audit by any Taxing authority, and the prosecution or defense of any claim or proceeding relating to any Tax Return. In the event any Taxing authority informs any of the Parties of any notice of proposed audit, claim, assessment or other dispute concerning an amount of Taxes related to the Filter Business, the Transferred Assets, the Assumed Contracts, Licensed Patents or Licensed Non-Patent IP with respect to which the other Party may incur Liability hereunder, the Party so informed shall promptly notify the other Party of such matter; provided that failure to promptly notify shall not reduce the other Party’s indemnity obligation hereunder, except to the extent such Party’s ability to defend against such matter is actually prejudiced thereby; and provided further that resolution of such audit, claim, assessment or other dispute shall be governed by Section 9.6.
Section 11.3    Allocation of Consideration in Contribution. The allocation of the consideration paid in connection with the Contribution to FilterCo and FilterSub, and within each of FilterCo and FilterSub, shall be determined by mutual agreement of the Seller and the Buyer (a) with respect to the aggregate Transferred Assets listed in the Singapore Business Transfer Agreement, on or prior to July 15th, 2014 and (b) with respect to the asset-by-asset allocation of all Transferred Assets (including allocation of individual Transferred Assets listed in the Singapore Business Transfer Agreement), within sixty (60) days following the Closing Date.

Section 12.5    Buyer Parent’s Obligation. The Buyer Parent shall ensure and cause the Buyer to perform and comply with any and all obligations, duties, covenants, commitments, agreements and arrangements of the Buyer set forth in this Agreement and Buyer Transaction Documents.

(b)    In the event of any inconsistency between the statements in the body of this Agreement and those in the Disclosure Schedule (other than an exception expressly set forth as such in the Disclosure Schedule with respect to a specifically identified representations and warranty), the statements in the body of this Agreement prevail.
Section 12.7    Governing Law. This Agreement is governed by the Laws of Japan, without regard to conflict of laws principles.
Section 12.8    Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, without affecting in any way the remaining provisions hereof in such jurisdiction or rendering that or any other provision of this Agreement invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction.
Section 12.9    Dispute Resolution Process.
(a)    The Parties intend that all disputes between the Parties arising out of this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents (except as set forth in the License Agreement) shall be settled by the Parties amicably through good faith discussions upon the written request of either Party.
(b)    Any dispute, controversy or claim (each, a “Dispute”) arising out of or relating to or in connection with the Transactions (except as set forth in the License Agreement), including any question regarding the existence, interpretation, breach, termination, validity or invalidity thereof, shall be referred to arbitration upon the demand of any Party to the dispute with written notice (the “Arbitration Notice”) to the other Parties to such dispute. The Dispute shall be settled by arbitration in Singapore by the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (the “SIAC”) in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (the “SIAC Rules”) for the time being in force, which rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference in this clause. There shall be three arbitrators. Each Party shall nominate one arbitrator for confirmation, with the third arbitrator to be jointly nominated by the two co-arbitrators within thirty (30) days of the confirmation of the second arbitrator. If the two co-arbitrators do not nominate the third arbitrator within that period, the third arbitrator shall be appointed by the SIAC Chairman. The third arbitrator may not be of the same nationality as any of the Parties to the arbitration. The arbitral proceedings shall be conducted in English.

74

Section 12.12    Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Parties would be irreparably damaged in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached and money damages may not be an adequate remedy for any such failure to perform or breach. Accordingly, each Party agrees that, in addition to any other remedy to which such Party may be entitled at Law or in equity or under this Agreement, each shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof, and each Party expressly waives the defense that a remedy in damages will be adequate.
Section 12.13    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, including counterparts delivered by means of facsimile, scanned pages, or other electronic transmission, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute but one and the same Agreement.
