Reg. §1.468B-2(k)) and paying any taxes reported thereon. Such returns (as well as the election described in this paragraph) shall be consistent with the provisions of this paragraph and in all events shall reflect that all Taxes as defined in ¶18(b) below on the income earned by the Gross Settlement Fund shall be paid out of the Gross Settlement Fund as provided in ¶18(b) hereof; (b) The following shall be paid out of the Gross Settlement Fund: (i) all taxes (including any estimated taxes, interest or penalties) arising with respect to the income earned by the Gross Settlement Fund, including, without limitation, any taxes or tax detriments that may be imposed upon NEC TOKIN or its counsel with respect to any income earned by the Gross Settlement Fund for any period during which the Gross Settlement Fund does not qualify as a “qualified settlement fund” for federal or state income tax purposes (collectively, “Taxes”); and (ii) all expenses and costs incurred in connection with the operation and implementation of this paragraph, including, without limitation, expenses of tax attorneys and/or accountants and mailing and distribution costs and expenses relating to filing (or failing to file) the returns described in this paragraph (collectively, “Tax Expenses”).

In no event shall the Net Settlement Fund revert to NEC TOKIN. 25. Distribution Plan Not Part of Settlement. It is understood and agreed by the Settling Parties that any Distribution Plan, including any adjustments to any Authorized Claimant’s claim, is not a part of this Settlement Agreement and is to be considered by the Court separately from the Court’s consideration of the fairness, reasonableness and adequacy of the Settlement set forth in this Settlement Agreement, and any order or proceedings relating to the Distribution Plan shall not operate to terminate or cancel this Settlement Agreement or affect the finality of the Judgment, the Final Approval Order, or any other orders entered pursuant to this Settlement Agreement. The time to appeal from an approval of the Settlement shall commence upon the Court’s entry of the Judgment regardless of whether either the Distribution Plan or an application for attorneys’ fees and expenses has been submitted to the Court or approved.

Class Counsel may submit an application or applications (the “Fee and Expense Application”) for distributions from the Gross Settlement Fund, for: (a) an award of attorneys’ fees; plus (b) reimbursement of expenses incurred in connection with prosecuting the Actions; plus (c) any interest on such attorneys’ fees and expenses (until paid) at the same rate and for the same periods as earned by the Gross Settlement Fund, as appropriate, and as may be awarded by the Court. 27. Payment of Fee and Expense Award. Any amounts that are awarded by the Court pursuant to the above paragraph (the “Fee and Expense Award”) shall be paid from the Gross Settlement Fund consistent with the provisions of this Settlement Agreement. 28. Award of Fees and Expenses Not Part of Settlement. The procedure for, and the allowance or disallowance by the Court of, the Fee and Expense Application are not part of the Settlement set forth in this Settlement Agreement, and are to be considered by the Court separately from the Court’s consideration of the fairness, reasonableness and adequacy of the Settlement set

Any order or proceeding relating to the Fee and Expense Application, or any appeal from any Fee and Expense Award or any other order relating thereto or reversal or modification thereof, shall not operate to terminate or cancel this Settlement Agreement, or affect or delay the finality of the Judgment and the Settlement of the Actions as set forth herein. No order of the Court or modification or reversal on appeal of any order of the Court concerning any Fee and Expense Award or Distribution Plan shall constitute grounds for cancellation or termination of this Settlement Agreement. 29. No Liability for Fees and Expenses of Class Counsel. NEC TOKIN shall have no responsibility for, and no liability whatsoever with respect to, any payment(s) to Class Counsel pursuant to this Settlement Agreement and/or to any other Person who may assert some claim thereto or any Fee and Expense Award that the Court may make in the Actions, other than to make the Settlement Payment as set forth in ¶13 of this Settlement Agreement. G. Cooperation 30. Cooperation as Consideration. In return for the Release provided herein, NEC TOKIN agrees to pay the Settlement Amount and agrees to provide cooperation to Indirect Purchaser Plaintiffs as set forth specifically below. 31. Attorney Proffer. Within thirty (30) business days after Preliminary Approval by the Court of this Settlement Agreement or such time as mutually agreed by the Settling Parties, counsel for NEC TOKIN shall provide Class Counsel with an oral proffer of facts known to them about meetings or communications between competitors in the Capacitors industry. Should the attorney proffer required by this paragraph not occur within the 30 business days after Preliminary Approval, Indirect Purchaser Plaintiffs do not waive their right to an attorney proffer. 32. Cooperation Subject to and Consistent with Prior Obligations. NEC TOKIN and the Indirect Purchaser Plaintiffs shall not be obligated to provide cooperation, including but not limited to the further cooperation described in ¶33 below, that would violate an applicable court order or NEC TOKIN's commitments to the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) or any other

Settlement Agreement; Case No. 3:14-cv-03264-JD 20 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 LAW OFFICES COTCHETT, XXXXX & XXXXXXXX, LLP governmental entity. With the exception of DOJ’s objection discussed in ¶33, below, NEC TOKIN represents that it is not presently aware of any court order prohibiting, or any objection from an enforcement authority to NEC TOKIN providing the cooperation contemplated by this section. Additionally, Indirect Purchaser Plaintiffs and NEC TOKIN will take reasonable efforts to accommodate the other’s efforts to minimize duplication in the providing of any cooperation. 33. Further Cooperation. (a) NEC TOKIN shall extend to Indirect Purchaser Plaintiffs a Most Favored Nations Provision, with respect to cooperation. To the extent that NEC TOKIN enters into settlement agreements regarding civil claims with other parties, Indirect Purchaser Plaintiffs shall obtain at least as much cooperation as those other parties. (b) NEC TOKIN shall, to the extent it has not done so already, produce ordinary course of business documents that it has provided to the U.S. and foreign law enforcement authorities, concerning Capacitors, to the extent they exist, within fifteen (15) business days after Preliminary Approval by the Court of this Settlement Agreement. NEC TOKIN represents that DOJ continues to object to a production of English translations to the Indirect Purchaser Plaintiffs as part of this Settlement Agreement and its cooperation obligations thereto. Accordingly, NEC TOKIN shall not be required to produce such English translations unless the DOJ formally or informally withdraws its objection thereto, or the Indirect Purchaser Plaintiffs obtain an order of the Court permitting production of such documents. The Indirect Purchaser Plaintiffs expressly reserve their right to move the Court for an order permitting production of such documents. (c) NEC TOKIN shall make up to six current employees available for interviews by Plaintiffs, deposition, and testimony at hearings or trial. To the extent feasible, the employees shall be made available, at NEC TOKIN’s expense, at a location in the United States. (d) NEC TOKIN shall encourage up to six former employees to make themselves available for interviews by Plaintiffs, deposition, and testimony at hearings or trials. To the extent that the

Settlement Agreement; Case No. 3:14-cv-03264-JD 21 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 LAW OFFICES COTCHETT, XXXXX & XXXXXXXX, LLP former employees agree to be available at a location in the United States, NEC TOKIN shall cover the costs of their travel expenses. (e) NEC TOKIN shall continue to assist Indirect Purchaser Plaintiffs in understanding and using the transactional data NEC TOKIN has produced. (f) NEC TOKIN shall provide cooperation that it represented it could provide in settlement discussions with the Indirect Purchaser Plaintiffs, as memorialized by the parties’ writings. Such information shall not be filed with the Court, absent an Order of the Court requiring disclosure of such information. If the Court orders disclosure of such information, the information shall be filed under seal with the Court, unless the Court orders otherwise. (g) NEC TOKIN will engage in reasonable efforts to provide evidence in admissible form to help establish these facts of the conspiracy, including declarations authenticating evidence, and laying the business records foundation under the Federal Rules of Evidence. (h) NEC TOKIN agrees to provide assistance reasonably necessary to establish the foundation for and admissibility of documents it has produced in the Actions or pursuant to this Settlement Agreement, including, as reasonably necessary, producing at trial in person, by deposition or by declaration or affidavit (Federal Rules of Evidence 902(11) and (12)), whichever is legally required, one current employee to testify as to the genuineness, status as business records, and/or authenticity any documents produced by NEC TOKIN in these Actions, including NEC TOKIN’s transactional data, as necessary for use in briefing on class certification, dispositive motion practice or trial. 34. Minimizing burden. Indirect Purchaser Plaintiffs and Class Counsel shall coordinate with Direct Purchaser Plaintiffs and any other parties with whom NEC TOKIN has agreed to provide cooperation so as to minimize NEC TOKIN’s burden and costs in providing cooperation. 35. Other Discovery. Upon the Execution Date, neither NEC TOKIN nor the Indirect Purchaser Plaintiffs shall file motions against the other or initiate or participate in any discovery, motion or proceeding directly adverse to the other in connection with the Actions, except as

Settlement Agreement; Case No. 3:14-cv-03264-JD 22 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 LAW OFFICES COTCHETT, XXXXX & XXXXXXXX, LLP specifically provided for herein. NEC TOKIN and the Indirect Purchaser Plaintiffs shall not be obligated to respond or supplement prior responses to formal discovery that has been previously propounded by the other in the Actions. 36. Resolution of Disputes. To the extent the Settling Parties disagree about the interpretation or enforcement of any terms of this Settlement Agreement relating to future cooperation by NEC TOKIN, or about the triggering of the threshold specified in the Confidential Termination Agreement described in ¶39(b), they agree to submit such disputes for binding resolution by former United States District Judge Xxxx Xxxxxxxx or another mutually agreed neutral. H. Conditions of Settlement, Effect of Disapproval, Cancellation or Termination 37. Occurrence of Effective Date. Upon the occurrence of all of the events required in order to trigger the Effective Date as defined in ¶1(m), supra, any and all remaining interest or right of NEC TOKIN in or to the Gross Settlement Fund, if any, shall be absolutely and forever extinguished, and the Gross Settlement Fund (less any Notice and Administrative Costs, Taxes or Tax Expenses or any Fee and Expense Award paid) shall be transferred from the Escrow Agent to the Claims Administrator as successor Escrow Agent within ten (10) days after the Effective Date. 38. Failure of Effective Date to Occur. If, for whatever reason, the Effective Date does not occur or is not met, then this Settlement Agreement shall be cancelled and terminated, subject to and in accordance with ¶42, below, unless the Settling Parties mutually agree in writing to proceed with this Settlement Agreement. 39. Exclusions. a. Any Class Member that wishes to seek exclusion from the Settlement Class by “opting out” must timely submit a written request for exclusion to the Claims Administrator. Class Counsel shall cause copies of requests for exclusion to be provided to NEC TOKIN’s counsel. No later than fourteen (14) days after the final date for mailing requests for exclusion, as determined by the Court as part of the Motion for Preliminary Approval, Class Counsel shall provide NEC TOKIN’s counsel with a complete and final list of opt-outs. With the Motion for Final Approval of the Settlement,

NEC TOKIN shall have the option to rescind and terminate this Settlement Agreement in its entirety and without liability of any kind if based on available data, the aggregate purchases of Electrolytic Capacitors purchased from distributors by Class Members that opt out pursuant to Paragraph 39(a) of this Settlement Agreement exceeds a threshold agreed to by Indirect Purchaser Plaintiffs and NEC TOKIN in the Confidential Termination Agreement that has been executed separately by Indirect Purchaser Plaintiffs and NEC TOKIN. NEC TOKIN shall exercise this option to rescind and terminate this Settlement Agreement by providing ten (10) business days written notice to Class Counsel. Upon such rescission and termination, Indirect Purchaser Plaintiffs and NEC TOKIN will notify the Court immediately and withdraw all pending motions filed to effectuate this Settlement. Indirect Purchaser Plaintiffs and NEC TOKIN will also, as may be required by the Court, submit the Confidential Termination Agreement to the Court for in camera review. In the event that NEC TOKIN exercises its option to rescind and terminate this Settlement Agreement: (i) this Settlement Agreement shall be null and void as to NEC TOKIN, and shall have no force or effect and shall be without prejudice to the rights and contentions of Releasees and Releasors in this or any other litigation; and (ii) the Gross Settlement fund shall be refunded promptly to NEC TOKIN, minus such payment (as set forth in this Settlement Agreement) of Notice and Administrative Costs and Taxes and Tax Expenses, consistent with the provisions of ¶¶14 and 18, respectively. 40. Objections. Settlement Class members who wish to object to any aspect of the Settlement must file with the Court a written statement containing their objection by end of the period to object to the Settlement. Any award or payment of attorneys’ fees made to counsel to an objector to the Settlement shall only be made by Court order and upon a showing of the benefit conferred to the class. In determining any such award of attorneys’ fees to an objectors’ counsel, the Court will consider the incremental value to the Class caused by any such objection. Any award of

Failure to Enter Proposed Preliminary Approval Order, Final Approval Order or Judgment. If the Court does not enter the Preliminary Approval Order, the Final Approval Order or the Judgment, or if the Court enters the Final Approval Order and the Judgment and appellate review is sought and, on such review, the Final Approval Order or the Judgment is finally vacated, modified or reversed in a material way, then this Settlement Agreement and the Settlement incorporated therein shall be cancelled and terminated; provided, however, the Settling Parties agree to act in good faith to secure Final Approval of this Settlement and to attempt to address in good faith concerns regarding the Settlement identified by the Court and any court of appeal. No Settling Party shall have any obligation whatsoever to proceed under any terms other than substantially in the form provided and agreed to herein; provided, however, that no order of the Court concerning any Fee and Expense Application or Distribution Plan, or any modification or reversal on appeal of such order, shall constitute grounds for cancellation or termination of this Settlement Agreement by any Settling Party. Without limiting the foregoing, NEC TOKIN shall have, in its sole and absolute discretion, the option to terminate the Settlement in its entirety in the event that the Judgment, upon becoming Final, does not provide for the dismissal with prejudice of all of the Actions against them. 42. Termination. Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, in the event that the Effective Date does not occur or this Settlement Agreement should terminate, or be cancelled or otherwise fail to become effective for any reason, including, without limitation, in the event that NEC TOKIN elects to terminate this Settlement Agreement pursuant to ¶39(b), the Settlement as described herein is not finally approved by the Court, or the Judgment is reversed or vacated following any appeal taken therefrom, then:
