Related to Procedure for Objecting to the Class Action Settlement

• OBJECTING TO THE SETTLEMENT You can tell the Court that you do not agree with the Settlement or some part of it.

• Full Settlement; Resolution of Disputes (a) The Company's obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against the Executive or others. In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement and, except as provided in Section 6(a)(ii) of this Agreement, such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not the Executive obtains other employment. The Company agrees to pay promptly as incurred, to the full extent permitted by law, all legal fees and expenses which the Executive may reasonably incur as a result of any contest (regardless of the outcome thereof) by the Company, the Executive or others of the validity or enforceability of, or liability under, any provision of this Agreement or any guarantee of performance thereof (including as a result of any contest by the Executive about the amount of any payment pursuant to this Agreement), plus in each case interest on any delayed payment at the applicable Federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2)(A) of the Code. (b) If there shall be any dispute between the Company and the Executive (i) in the event of any termination of the Executive's employment by the Company, whether such termination was for Cause, or (ii) in the event of any termination of employment by the Executive, whether Good Reason existed, then, unless and until there is a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction declaring that such termination was for Cause or that the determination by the Executive of the existence of Good Reason was not made in good faith, the Company shall pay all amounts, and provide all benefits, to the Executive and/or the Executive's family or other beneficiaries, as the case may be, that the Company would be required to pay or provide pursuant to Section 6(a) of this Agreement as though such termination were by the Company without Cause or by the Executive with Good Reason; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any disputed amounts pursuant to this paragraph except upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Executive to repay all such amounts to which the Executive is ultimately adjudged by such court not to be entitled.

• PROCEDURE FOR APPROVAL OF SETTLEMENT Acceptance of this Settlement Agreement shall be sought at a hearing of the Central Regional Council of the MFDA on a date agreed to by counsel for Staff and the Respondent.

• Provisions Relating to Dividend Disbursing Agency A. Service Company will, at the expense of Fund, provide a special form of check containing the imprint of any device or other matter desired by Fund. Said checks must, however, be of a form and size convenient for use by Service Company. B. If Fund wants to include additional printed matter, financial statements, etc., with the dividend checks, the same will be furnished to Service Company within a reasonable time prior to the date of mailing of the dividend checks, at the expense of Fund. C. If Fund wants its distributions mailed in any special form of envelopes, sufficient supply of the same will be furnished to Service Company but the size and form of said envelopes will be subject to the approval of Service Company. If stamped envelopes are used, they must be furnished by Fund; or, if postage stamps are to be affixed to the envelopes, the stamps or the cash necessary for such stamps must be furnished by Fund. D. Service Company will maintain one or more deposit accounts as Agent for Fund, into which the funds for payment of dividends, distributions, redemptions or other disbursements provided for hereunder will be deposited, and against which checks will be drawn.

• Certain Matters Relating to the Determination of LIBOR LIBOR shall be calculated by the Securities Administrator in accordance with the definition of LIBOR. Until all of the LIBOR Certificates are paid in full, the Securities Administrator will at all times retain at least four Reference Banks for the purpose of determining LIBOR with respect to each LIBOR Determination Date. The Securities Administrator initially shall designate the Reference Banks (after consultation with the Depositor). Each “Reference Bank” shall be a leading bank engaged in transactions in Eurodollar deposits in the international Eurocurrency market, shall not control, be controlled by, or be under common control with, the Securities Administrator and shall have an established place of business in London. If any such Reference Bank should be unwilling or unable to act as such or if the Securities Administrator should terminate its appointment as Reference Bank, the Securities Administrator shall promptly appoint or cause to be appointed another Reference Bank (after consultation with the Depositor). The Securities Administrator shall have no liability or responsibility to any Person for (i) the selection of any Reference Bank for purposes of determining LIBOR or (ii) any inability to retain at least four Reference Banks which is caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control. The Interest Rate for each Class of LIBOR Certificates for each Interest Accrual Period shall be determined by the Securities Administrator on each LIBOR Determination Date so long as the LIBOR Certificates are outstanding on the basis of LIBOR and the respective formulae appearing in footnotes corresponding to the LIBOR Certificates in the table relating to the Certificates in the Preliminary Statement. The Securities Administrator shall not have any liability or responsibility to any Person for its inability, following a good-faith reasonable effort, to obtain quotations from the Reference Banks or to determine the arithmetic mean referred to in the definition of LIBOR, all as provided for in this Section 4.04 and the definition of LIBOR. The establishment of LIBOR and each Interest Rate for the LIBOR Certificates by the Securities Administrator shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final, conclusive and binding upon each Holder of a Certificate and the Trustee.

• Objections to Settlement 7.7.1 Only Participating Class Members may object to the class action components of the Settlement and/or this Agreement, including contesting the fairness of the Settlement, and/or amounts requested for the Class Counsel Fees Payment, Class Counsel Litigation Expenses Payment and/or Class Representative Service Payment. 7.7.2 Participating Class Members may send written objections to the Administrator, by fax, email, or mail. In the alternative, Participating Class Members may appear in Court (or hire an attorney to appear in Court) to present verbal objections at the Final Approval Hearing. A Participating Class Member who elects to send a written objection to the Administrator must do so not later than 60 days after the Administrator’s mailing of the Class Notice (plus an additional 14 days for Class Members whose Class Notice was re-mailed). 7.7.3 Non-Participating Class Members have no right to object to any of the class action components of the Settlement.

• Arbitration; Settlement of Disputes Any controversy, claim or cause of action brought by any party hereto against the Company arising out of or relating to the Shares or other Deposited Securities, the American Depositary Shares, the Receipts or this Deposit Agreement, or the breach hereof or thereof, if so elected by the claimant, shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the International Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The place of the arbitration shall be Xxx Xxxx xx Xxx Xxxx, Xxxxx xx Xxx Xxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx of America, and the language of the arbitration shall be English. The number of arbitrators shall be three, each of whom shall be disinterested in the dispute or controversy, shall have no connection with any party thereto, and shall be an attorney experienced in international securities transactions. Each party shall appoint one arbitrator and the two arbitrators shall select a third arbitrator who shall serve as chairperson of the tribunal. If a dispute, controversy or cause of action shall involve more than two parties, the parties shall attempt to align themselves in two sides (i.e., claimant(s) and respondent(s)), each of which shall appoint one arbitrator as if there were only two parties to such dispute, controversy or cause of action. If such alignment and appointment shall not have occurred within thirty (30) calendar days after the initiating party serves the arbitration demand, the American Arbitration Association shall appoint the three arbitrators, each of whom shall have the qualifications described above. The parties and the American Arbitration Association may appoint from among the nationals of any country, whether or not a party is a national of that country. The arbitral tribunal shall have no authority to award any consequential, special or punitive damages or other damages not measured by the prevailing party’s actual damages and may not, in any event, make any ruling, finding or award that does not conform to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement.

• Certain Rules Relating to the Payment of Additional Amounts (a) If any Affected Person requests compensation under Section 5.01, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Affected Person or to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Affected Person pursuant to Section 5.03, then such Affected Person shall (at the request of the Borrower) use commercially reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking the related Loans hereunder or to assign and delegate (or cause to be assigned and delegated) such Affected Person’s rights and obligations hereunder to another office, branch or Affiliate of such Affected Person if, in the judgment of such Affected Person, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 5.01 or 5.03, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Affected Person to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Affected Person. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Affected Person in connection with any such designation or assignment and delegation. (b) If (i) any Affected Person requests compensation under Section 5.01, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Affected Person or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Affected Person pursuant to Section 5.03, (iii) any Affected Person has become a Defaulting Lender or (iv) any Affected Person has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that requires the consent of all Lenders and with respect to which the other Lenders shall have or would have granted their consent, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, require the Administrative Agent to cause the related Affected Person to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to all applicable transfer restrictions), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to another appropriate Person (which, in the case of a Lender, shall be an Eligible Assignee) that shall acquire such interest or assume such commitment; provided that (a) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (b) such Affected Person, if a Lender, shall have received payment of an amount equal to its outstanding Capital and, if applicable, accrued Interest and Fees thereon and all other amounts then owing to it hereunder from the assignee or the Borrower, (c) in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 5.01 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 5.03, such assignment is expected to result in a reduction in such compensation or payments for future periods and (d) in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from the failure of an Affected Person to provide a consent, the assignee shall have given such consent and, as a result of such assignment and delegation and any contemporaneous assignments and delegations and consents, the applicable amendment, waiver, discharge or termination can be effected. An Affected Person shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver or consent by such Affected Person or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation have ceased to apply.

• DISPUTES SETTLEMENT PROCEDURE 9.1 A major objective of this Agreement is to eliminate lost time and/or production arising out of disputes or grievances. Disputes over any work related or industrial matter (including a dispute about whether a workplace right has been breached) or any matters arising out of the operation of the Agreement or incidental to the operation of the Agreement should be dealt with as close to its source as possible. Disputes over matters arising from this Agreement (or any other dispute related to the employment relationship or the NES, including subsections 65(5) or 76(4) of the Fair Work Act) shall be dealt with according to the following procedure. 9.2 The pre-dispute status quo shall prevail while the matter is being dealt with in accordance with this procedure. 9.3 All Employees have the right to appoint a representative in relation to a dispute. It is the express priority of all Parties to attempt to settle a dispute at the workplace level at first instance. 9.4 In the event of any work-related grievance arising between the Employer and an Employee or Employees, the matter shall be dealt with in the following manner: (a) The matter shall be first submitted by the Employee/s or his/her job delegate/ employee representative or other representative, to the site foreperson/supervisor or the other appropriate site representative of the Employer and if not settled, to a more senior representative of the Employer. (b) Alternatively, the Employer may submit an issue to the Employee/s who may seek the assistance and involvement of the job delegate/employee representative or other representative. (c) If still not resolved, there may be discussions between the relevant Union official (if requested by the employee/s), or another representative of the employee, and senior representative of the Employer. (d) Should the matter remain unresolved, either of the parties or their representative shall refer the dispute at first instance to FWC for review. FWC may exercise conciliation and/or arbitration powers in such review. 9.5 This procedure shall be followed in good faith without unreasonable delay. 9.6 If any party fails or refuses to follow any step of this procedure the non-breaching party will not be obligated to continue through the remaining steps of the procedure and may immediately seek relief by application to FWC. 9.7 Any resolution of a dispute under this clause by the FWC will not be inconsistent with legislative obligations or any other applicable Codes or Regulations.

• Liquidation Settlement Procedures If at any time on or prior to the Termination Date for such Class the Aggregate Percentage Factor is greater than the Maximum Percentage Factor, then the Transferor shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Class Investors from previously received Collections, an amount equal to the amount such that, when applied in reduction of the Aggregate Net Investment, will result in an Aggregate Percentage Factor less than or equal to the Maximum Percentage Factor. Such amounts shall be applied pro rata to the reduction of the Net Investment for each Class of the Tranche Periods selected by the Class Agent for such Class. With respect to each Class, on the Termination Date for such Class and on each day thereafter, and on each day on which a Termination Event or Potential Termination Event has occurred and is continuing for such Class, the Collection Agent shall set aside and hold in trust for the applicable Class Investors for such Class (or deposit into the Collection Account if so required pursuant to Section 2.12 hereof) the Percentage Factor for such Class of all Collections received on such day and shall set aside and hold in trust for the Transferor such portion of Collections not allocated to the Class Investors. On each such Termination Date or the day on which a Termination Event or Potential Termination Event for such Class for which there is no grace period occurs, the Collection Agent shall deposit to the Administrative Agent’s account, for the benefit of the applicable Class Investors for such Class, any amounts set aside pursuant to Section 2.5 above. With respect to each Class, on the last day of each Tranche Period to occur on or after such Termination Date for such Class or during the continuance of a Termination Event or Potential Termination Event for such Class, the Collection Agent shall deposit to the Administrative Agent’s account to the extent not already so deposited, for the benefit of the Class Investors for such Class, the amounts so set aside for such Class Investors, pursuant to the second preceding sentence, but not to exceed the sum of (i) the accrued Discount (which, in the case of Discount computed by reference to the CP Rate with respect to any Class Conduit that utilizes “pool” funding, shall be determined for such purpose using the CP Rate most recently determined by the related Class Agent, multiplied by the Fluctuation Factor) for such Tranche Period (ii) the portion of the Net Investment allocated to such Tranche Period and (iii) all other Aggregate Unpaids owing to such Class Investors. On such day, the Collection Agent shall deposit to its account, from the amounts set aside for such Class, pursuant to the preceding sentence which remain after payment in full of the aforementioned amounts, the accrued Servicing Fee for such Tranche Period. If there shall be insufficient funds on deposit for the Collection Agent to distribute funds in payment in full of the aforementioned amounts, the Collection Agent shall distribute funds first, if the Transferor, Tech Data or any Affiliate of the Transferor or Tech Data is not then the Collection Agent, to the Collection Agent’s account, in payment of the Servicing Fee payable to the Collection Agent, second, in payment of all fees payable by the Transferor to the Administrative Agent or any of the Class Investors, third, in payment of the accrued Discount to each Class, fourth, in reduction of the Net Investment allocated to any Tranche Period ending on such date, fifth, in payment of all other Aggregate Unpaids owing to the Class Investors, as applicable, and sixth, if the Transferor, Tech Data or any Affiliate of the Transferor or Tech Data is the Collection Agent, to its account as Collection Agent, in payment of the Servicing Fee payable to such Person as Collection Agent. The Administrative Agent, upon its receipt of such amounts in the Administrative Agent’s account, shall distribute such amounts to the Class Investors, each as entitled thereto as set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall have insufficient funds to pay all of the above amounts in full on any such date, the Administrative Agent shall pay such amounts in the order of priority set forth above and, with respect to any such category above for which the Administrative Agent shall have insufficient funds to pay all amounts owing on such date, ratably (based on the amounts in such categories owing to such Persons) among all such Persons entitled to payment thereof. Following the date after all Termination Dates on which the Aggregate Net Investment has been reduced to zero, all accrued Discount and Servicing Fees have been paid in full and all other Aggregate Unpaids have been paid in full, (i) the Collection Agent shall recompute the Percentage Factor for each Class, (ii) the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Class Investors, shall be considered to have reconveyed to the Transferor all of the Class Investors’ right, title and interest in and to the Affected Assets (including the Transferred Interest), (iii) the Collection Agent shall pay to the Transferor any remaining Collections set aside and held by the Collection Agent pursuant to the third sentence of this Section 2.6 and (iv) the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the applicable Class Investor(s), shall execute and deliver to the Transferor, at the Transferor’s expense, such documents or instruments as are necessary to terminate the Class Investors’ respective interests in the Affected Assets. Any such documents shall be prepared by or on behalf of the Transferor. On the last day of each Tranche Period, the Collection Agent shall remit to the Transferor such portion of Collections set aside for the Transferor pursuant to this Section 2.6.
