(iii)in respect of any of the representations and warranties other than the Excluded Warranties and the Fundamental Warranties (A) the extent to which a corresponding claim under the W&I Policy (I) has eroded the Seller Borne Retention or (II) would have eroded the Seller Borne Retention had no claims in respect of the Fundamental Warranties eroded any part of the Retention and (B) in any event, in the aggregate, an amount equal to 50% of the Retention.

(b)Subject to Sections 9.8(a)(i) and (ii), the maximum aggregate liability of the Seller under Sections 9.4(a) and (c) and the Purchasers under Sections 9.5(a) and (c) shall not exceed [***] of the Purchase Price received by the Seller.

9.9Indemnity Claim Procedures.

(a)Claim Notice. As soon as reasonably practicable after any Party becomes aware of any event or condition that could reasonably be expected to result in a Loss for which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties (in the case of a Purchaser) or the Seller Indemnified Parties (in the case of the Seller) are entitled to an Indemnity Claim, such Party (the “Claimant”) shall give notice in writing of such Indemnity Claim (a “Claim Notice”) to the Seller (in the case where the Claimant is a Purchaser Indemnified Party) or the relevant Purchaser (in the case where the Claimant is a Seller Indemnified Party) (the “Indemnifying Party”). A Claim Notice must describe the Indemnity Claim in reasonable detail and must indicate the amount (estimated if necessary, and only to the extent feasible) of the Loss that has been or may be suffered by the Claimant.

(b)Delay in Claim Notice. A Claim Notice may only be given in respect of (i) any covenant or other agreement within six months of such covenant or other agreement ceasing to survive in accordance with Section 9.1(a) or (ii) any representation or

warranty while such representation or warranty survives in accordance with Section 9.1(b). Subject to the foregoing, no delay in or failure to give a Claim Notice by the Claimant to the Indemnifying Party under Section 9.9(a) shall adversely affect any of the other rights or remedies that the Claimant has under this Agreement or alter or relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligation to indemnify the Claimant except to the extent that such delay or failure has prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

(c)Claim Response. The Indemnifying Party shall respond in writing to the Claimant (a “Claim Response”) within 30 days after the date that the Claim Notice is sent by the Claimant (the “Response Period”). Any Claim Response must specify whether or not the Indemnifying Party disputes the Indemnity Claim described in the Claim Notice. If the Indemnifying Party fails to give a Claim Response within the Response Period, then the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed not to dispute the Indemnity Claim described in the related Claim Notice, and the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to pay the Claimant the amount of Losses specified in the Claim Notice, subject to the limitations contained in this Article 9. If the Indemnifying Party delivers a Claim Response within the Response Period indicating that it disputes one or more of the matters identified in the Claim Notice, then the Indemnifying Party and the Claimant shall settle the dispute in accordance with Section 13.4.

9.10Further Limitations on Purchaser Indemnity Claims. No Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be entitled to make any Purchaser Indemnity Claim in connection with any Loss:

(a)to the extent that (i) either Purchaser had Knowledge of a breach of any representation or warranty by the Seller giving rise to such Purchaser Indemnity Claim as of the date of this Agreement or (ii) any information that would cause a breach of any representation or warranty giving rise to such Purchaser Indemnity Claim has been fairly disclosed in any of the Disclosure Sources;

(b)if such Loss arises out of or is increased as a result of the Seller’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement;

(c)if such Loss arises out of or is increased as a result of any action of any Purchaser Indemnified Party after the Relevant Closing Date;

(d)if a claim for such Loss was recovered by any Purchaser Indemnified Party under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document;

(e)if a Purchaser Indemnified Party has received or is reasonably expected to receive any insurance proceeds (including under the W&I Policy) or any indemnity, contribution or other similar payments, in each case in respect of the same Loss (i.e. there shall be no double recovery nor unjust enrichment); or

(f)to the extent that such Loss occurs as the result of (i) any decision of any court or tribunal or the passing or coming into force of or any change in any Law or requirement of any Governmental Authority or utility after the date of this Agreement or (ii) any increase in rates of taxation after the date of this Agreement.

9.11Fraud. The limitations set forth in this Article 9 shall not apply in respect of any Losses that arise out of or result from the fraud of the Indemnifying Party or its Affiliates.

9.12No Set-Off. No Party shall have any right to set off any unresolved Indemnity Claim against (a) any payment due under this Agreement or (b) any payment due under any other Transaction Document.

9.13Tax Treatment. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, any indemnification payment made in accordance with this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for applicable Tax purposes.

9.14Exclusive Remedies. The Parties acknowledge and agree that:

(a)prior to each Relevant Closing Date, the sole and exclusive remedies of each Relevant Party for any breach of the representations, warranties and obligations in connection with the Relevant Assignment in this Agreement shall be to (i) refuse to consummate the Relevant Closing to the extent that its conditions precedent have not been satisfied or waived and (ii) terminate this Agreement to the extent permitted under Article 12 (in which case, the provisions of Section 12.2 shall apply to the extent stated therein);

(b)from and after each Relevant Closing Date, the sole and exclusive remedies of the Parties for any breach of the representations, warranties and obligations in connection with the Relevant Assignment in this Agreement and any certificate delivered in accordance with this Agreement shall be the indemnification obligations under Section 9.4 or 9.5 (as the case may be), other than any breach due to fraud; and

(c)this Section 9.14 is not intended to, and does not, restrict any rights or claims that any Purchaser Indemnified Party may have under the W&I Policy.

9.15Exclusion of Statutory Liability for Non-Conformity to Contract (“Keiyaku-Futekigo-Sekinin”). Even if the Membership Interests fail to satisfy the type (shurui), quality (hinshitsu) or quantity (suryo) as agreed under this Agreement, or otherwise fails to satisfy the explicit purpose of this Agreement with respect to such type, quality or quantity (collectively, “Non-Conformity”), neither Purchaser may seek a remedy against the Seller in the manner set forth in Article 562 of the Civil Code of Japan (Act No. 89 of 1896), to mitigate or otherwise fix or eliminate such Non-Conformity by the repair of the subject properties or assets (mokuteki-butsu-no-shuho), the delivery of substitute properties / assets (daitai-butsu-no-hikiwatashi), or delivery of any deficient part of such properties / assets (fusoku-bun-no-hikiwatashi); provided, however, that this Section 9.15 shall not exclude the Seller’s obligations or liability under Section 5.4 or 9.4.

9.16No Expansion of Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, despite any novation, assignment or transfer of either original Purchaser’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement or the W&I Policy, the aggregate liability of the Seller shall not exceed the liability that the Seller would have had if no such novation, assignment or transfer had occurred.

10.TAX MATTERS

After each Relevant Closing, each Relevant Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, reasonably cooperate and provide the other Relevant Party with such information relating to the Relevant Transferring Business or the Relevant NewCo as such other Relevant Party may reasonably request in connection with (a) filing any

Tax Return or other Tax filing, (b) determining any Tax liability or right to refund of Taxes or (c) conducting or defending any audit or other Proceeding in respect of Taxes.

10.1Tax Allocation. The Purchase Price shall be allocated among the Membership Interests (and, to the extent required by applicable Law, further among the assets of each applicable NewCo) for all applicable Tax purposes and for the purposes of Section 9.8(a)(ii) in accordance with their respective fair market values in accordance with applicable Law (the “Tax Allocation”). Following each Relevant Closing, the Parties shall amend the Tax Allocation to reflect any adjustments to the Purchase Price made pursuant to this Agreement. The Parties shall (a) report the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in a manner consistent with the Tax Allocation unless otherwise required by applicable Law and (b) not take any position inconsistent with the Tax Allocation on any Tax Returns or in the course of any audit or Proceeding by any Tax Authority, Tax review or Tax proceeding relating to any Tax Returns unless required by applicable Law.
