For purposes of this Agreement: (x) “Indebtedness” of any Person means, without duplication (A) all indebtedness of such Person for borrowed money, (B) all obligations of such Person issued, undertaken or assumed as the deferred purchase price of property or services (other than trade payables entered into in the ordinary course of business), (C) all reimbursement or payment obligations of such Person with respect to letters of credit, surety bonds and other similar instruments, (D) all obligations evidenced by notes, bonds, debentures or similar instruments for the payment of which such Person is responsible or liable, including obligations so evidenced incurred in connection with the acquisition of property, assets or businesses, (E) all indebtedness of such Person created or arising under any conditional sale or other title retention agreement, or incurred as financing, in either case with respect to any property or assets acquired with the proceeds of such indebtedness (even though the rights and remedies of the seller or bank under such agreement in the event of default are limited to repossession or sale of such property), (F) all monetary obligations of such Person under any leasing or similar arrangement which, in connection with Japanese GAAP, consistently applied for the periods covered thereby, is classified as a capital lease, (G) all indebtedness referred to in clauses (A) through (F) above of other Persons secured by (or for which the holder of such Indebtedness has an existing right, contingent or otherwise, to be secured by) any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security interest or other encumbrance upon or in any property or assets (including accounts and contract rights) owned by any Person, even though the Person which owns such assets or property has not assumed or become liable for the payment of such indebtedness, and (H) all Contingent Obligations of such Person in respect of indebtedness or obligations of others of the kinds referred to in clauses (A) through (G) above; provided that for the indebtedness referred to in clauses (A) through (H), the indebtedness is in each case in excess of $1 million; and (y) “Contingent Obligation” means, as to any Person, any direct or indirect liability, contingent or otherwise, of that Person with respect to any indebtedness, lease, dividend or other obligation of another Person if the primary purpose or intent of the Person incurring such liability, or the primary effect thereof, is to provide assurance to the obligee of such liability that such liability will be paid or discharged, or that any agreements relating thereto will be complied with, or that the holders of such liability will be protected (in whole or in part) against loss with respect thereto.

4.15 Insurance. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as management of the Company believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and its Subsidiaries are engaged in the same or similar locations; provided, however, that each of the Company and its Subsidiaries may self-insure to the same extent as other companies engaged in similar businesses and owning similar properties in the same general areas in which the Company or each such Subsidiary, as applicable, operates. Except as disclosed in Section 4.15 of the Disclosure Schedules, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has been refused any insurance coverage which it sought or for which it applied during the last two (2) years. Except those related to the Company’s operations and facilities in Thailand and the insurance coverage applied to NEC Corporation’s Affiliates and the benefit of which will not extend to the Company after the Closing, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to

continue its business at a cost that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that each of the Company and its Subsidiaries may self-insure to the same extent as other companies engaged in similar businesses and owning similar properties in the same general areas in which the Company or each such Subsidiary, as applicable, operates.

4.16 Transactions with Affiliates. None of the officers, directors or employees of the Company is presently a party to any transaction with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than (i) for ordinary course services as officers, directors or employees and (ii) transactions in the ordinary course of business at prices and on terms and conditions not less favorable to the Company than could be obtained on an arm’s-length basis from unrelated third parties), including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any such officer, director or employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any corporation, partnership, trust or other entity in which any such officer, director, or employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee or partner.

4.17 Employee Relations. The Company and its Subsidiaries believe that their relations with their employees are good. To the knowledge of the Company, (i) no executive of the Company is in violation of any material term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement, non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement with any other party or any restrictive covenant reasonably likely to have an Material Adverse Effect on the Company, and (ii) the continued employment of each such executive does not subject the Company to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters.

(d) Except as disclosed in Section 4.18(d) of the Disclosure Schedules, there is no insufficiency in the amount of the reserve for any Employee Benefit Program that is required or appropriate under applicable law or accounting principles.

4.19 Labor Matters. The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance in all material respects with all applicable national, federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations respecting labor, employment and employment practices and benefits, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where failure to be in compliance would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

The Company does not have any knowledge of any infringement by the Company or its Subsidiaries of Intellectual Property Rights of others which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. There is no claim, action or proceeding being made or brought, or to the knowledge of the Company, being threatened, against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries regarding its Intellectual Property Rights which has a reasonable likelihood of adverse determination and such determination would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Company is unaware of any facts or circumstances which could reasonably be expected to give rise to any of the foregoing infringements or claims, actions or proceedings. The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their trade secrets, except as determined in their commercially reasonable business judgment.

4.21 Environmental Laws. The Company (i) is in compliance in material respects with applicable Environmental Laws (as hereinafter defined), (ii) has received material permits, licenses or other approvals required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their respective businesses and (iii) is in compliance in material respects with all terms and conditions of any such permit, license or approval where, in each of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the failure to so comply would be reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. The term “Environmental Laws” means all applicable federal, state, local or foreign laws relating to pollution or protection of human health or the environment (including, without limitation, ambient air, surface water, groundwater, land surface or subsurface strata), including, without limitation, laws relating to emissions, discharges, releases or threatened releases of chemicals, pollutants, contaminants, or toxic or hazardous substances or wastes (collectively, “Hazardous Materials”) into the environment, or otherwise relating to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal,

transport or handling of Hazardous Materials, as well as all authorizations, codes, decrees, demands or demand letters, injunctions, judgments, licenses, notices or notice letters, orders, permits, plans or regulations issued, entered, promulgated or approved thereunder, in each case in force or in existence as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date.

All covenants and agreements that contemplate performance after the Closing contained herein shall survive the Closing indefinitely or for any shorter period expressly specified in accordance with their terms. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences, if notice of an indemnification claim shall have been delivered before the aforementioned time period has elapsed with respect to any breach of any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement shall survive until such claim is finally resolved. No claim may be brought hereunder in respect of any covenant or agreement that contemplates performance entirely before or at the Closing unless such claim is brought prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date.

7.2 Indemnification Provisions for Purchaser’s Benefit.

(a) In the event the Company breaches (or in the event any third party alleges facts that, if true, would mean the Company has breached) any of its representations, warranties, pre-closing covenants or covenants contained in Section 2(a) or Section 3.2(a) contained herein and, provided that Purchaser makes a written claim for indemnification against NEC Corporation within the survival period, then, effective at and after the Closing and subject to the limitations and exclusions set out in this Section 7, NEC Corporation undertakes to pay to the Company the amount which would be necessary to put the Company into the financial position which would have existed had there been no breach and to indemnify Purchaser from and against the entirety of any Losses Purchaser may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the breach (or alleged breach). For the purposes of this clause (a), the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Section 4 of this Agreement shall be read as if all qualifications as to materiality, including each reference to the terms and phrases “material”, “in all material respects” or like phrases, and the defined term “Material Adverse Effect”, were deleted therefrom in determining whether there has been a breach of any such representation or warranty or in determining the amount of any Loss.

(b) In the event NEC Corporation breaches (or in the event any third party alleges facts that, if true, would mean NEC Corporation has breached) any of its

representations, warranties, and covenants contained herein and, provided that Purchaser makes a written claim for indemnification against NEC Corporation within the survival period, then NEC Corporation shall be obligated to indemnify Purchaser from and against the entirety of any Losses Purchaser may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the breach (or the alleged breach). For the purposes of this clause (b), the representations and warranties of NEC Corporation contained in Section 5 of this Agreement shall be read as if all qualifications as to materiality, including each reference to the terms and phrases “material”, “in all material respects” or like phrases were deleted therefrom in determining whether there has been a breach of any such representation or warranty or in determining the amount of any Loss.

(c) Nothing in this Section 7.2 restricts or limits the Purchaser or its Affiliates’ (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company after the Closing) general obligation at law to mitigate any loss or damage which it may incur as a consequence of a matter giving rise to a claim.

(d) Special Indemnities. Without limiting the generality of the indemnity set out in Sections 7.2(a) and 7.2(b), provided that Purchaser makes a written claim for indemnification against NEC Corporation, then, effective at and after the Closing, NEC Corporation shall be obligated to pay to the Company the amount which would be necessary to put the Company into the financial position which would have existed had there been no Battery Claims, including Losses in respect of outstanding claims resulting from, arising out of, or relating to the Battery Claims, including the reasonable costs and expenses relating to the defense or settlement of any Battery Claims (collectively, “Battery Claims Losses”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, NEC Corporation shall not be obliged to make any payment to the Company (i) in respect of Battery Claims Losses the cash payment of which has been reflected in the Company Financial Statements, (ii) in respect of those Battery Claims Losses incurred and paid to those parties in the amounts and as named and as set forth in Section 7.2(d) of the Disclosure Schedules prior to the date hereof, or (iii) if any such Battery Claims Losses are in the form of settlement money to be paid to the parties in connection with settlement agreements entered into prior to the date hereof and legal fees to be paid in connection with such settlement agreements, in the amounts and to the parties set forth in Section 7.2(d) of the Disclosure Schedules and actually paid by the Company prior to the Closing, in each case resulting from, arising out of, or relating to the Battery Claims. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the payment obligations hereunder in respect of Battery Claims Losses shall not be subject to (i) any of the limitations under Section 7.4, (ii) any limitation due to the fact the Purchaser knew or should have known about such Battery Claims or (iii) any survival period.

7.3 Indemnification Provisions for the Company’s and NEC Corporation’s Benefit. In the event Purchaser breaches (or in the event any third party alleges facts that, if true, would mean Purchaser has breached) any of its representations, warranties, and covenants contained herein and, provided that the Company or NEC Corporation makes a written claim for indemnification against Purchaser within the survival period, then Purchaser shall be obligated to indemnify the Company and NEC Corporation from and against the entirety of any Losses the Company and NEC Corporation may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the breach (or the alleged breach). For the purposes of this Section 7.3, the representations and warranties of Purchaser contained in Section 6 of this Agreement shall be

read as if all qualifications as to materiality, including each reference to the terms and phrases “material”, “in all material respects” or like phrases were deleted therefrom in determining whether there has been a breach of any such representation or warranty or in determining the amount of any Loss. Nothing in this Section 7.3 restricts or limits the Company’s, NEC Corporation’s or their respective Affiliates’ general obligation at law to mitigate any loss or damage which it or they may incur as a consequence of a matter giving rise to a claim.

(e) NEC Corporation shall not be liable for any claim under Section 7.2(a), (x) if and to the extent the matter is specifically provided or reserved for (and not released prior to Closing) in the Company Financial Statements; (y) to the extent that the matter giving rise to the claim would not have arisen solely but for an act before or after Closing by Purchaser or its Affiliates or a director, employee or agent of Purchaser or its Affiliates; or (z) to the extent that the matter giving rise to the claim arises wholly or partially from an event before or after Closing solely at the written request or direction of, or with the consent of Purchaser or its Affiliates or an authorized agent or adviser of Purchaser or its Affiliates.

(f) Insured Claims. NEC Corporation’s liability in respect of any claim shall be reduced by an amount equal to any loss or damage to which the claim relates which has actually been recovered by the Company under a policy of insurance.

(g) Disclosure Documents.

7.5 Matters Involving Third Parties.

(a) If any third party notifies any Party (the “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any matter (a “Third-Party Claim”) that may give rise to a claim (including, for the avoidance of doubt, a Battery Claim) for indemnification against any other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) under this Section 7, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify each Indemnifying Party thereof in writing; provided, however, that such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail such Third-Party Claim and the basis for indemnification and no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying any Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party is thereby materially prejudiced.

(c) So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third-Party Claim in accordance with Section 7.5(b) above, (A) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third-Party Claim, (B) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment on or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be unreasonably withheld), and (C) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment on or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld).

(d) In the event that the Indemnifying Party chooses to not exercise the rights under Section 7.5(b) above or any condition set forth in Section 7.5(b) (A) through (D) above is or becomes unsatisfied, (A) the Indemnified Party may defend against the Third-Party Claim in any manner it may reasonably deem appropriate (but the Indemnified Party will need to consult with, and obtain consent from (not to be unreasonably withheld), any Indemnifying Party in connection therewith), (B) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment on or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be unreasonably withheld), and (C) the Indemnifying

(e) In the event the Indemnifying Party exercises the rights under Section 7.5(b) but the condition in Section 7.5(b)(E) above is or becomes unsatisfied, however, (A) the Indemnified Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment on or enter into any settlement with respect to, the Third-Party Claim in any manner it may reasonably deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, any Indemnifying Party in connection therewith), (B) the Indemnifying Parties will reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly and periodically for the costs of defending against the Third-Party Claim (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and (C) the Indemnifying Parties will remain responsible for any Losses the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third-Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Section 7.

(f) Each Party shall cooperate, and cause their respective Affiliates to cooperate, in the defense of any Third-Party Claim and shall furnish or cause to be furnished such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7, the Company shall conduct the defense of the Third-Party Claim brought to it actively and diligently and shall not consent to the entry of any judgment on or enter into any settlement with respect to any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of NEC Corporation (not to be unreasonably withheld).
