(c)If Seller has delivered a Notice of Disagreement, the Parties shall, for a period of thirty (30) Business Days after Purchaser’s receipt of the Notice of Disagreement (or any other period of time agreed in writing by the Parties), use commercially reasonable efforts to reach an agreement on the disputed items, amounts or calculations. If and to the extent that, during such period, the Parties are unable to reach such agreement on all of the disputed items, then the remaining items in disagreement shall be submitted to KPMG AZSA LLC for resolution, acting as an

- 11 -

accounting expert and not as an arbitrator, or if that firm is unwilling or unable to serve, Purchaser and Seller shall engage another mutually agreeable independent accounting firm of recognized national standing, which firm is not the regular auditing firm of Purchaser or Seller (such accounting firm, the “Independent Accounting Firm”). Purchaser and Seller shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Accounting Firm to resolve all disagreements as soon as practicable and in any event within twenty (20) Business Days after the date of appointment. The Independent Accounting Firm may address only those items and amounts which are identified in the Notice of Disagreement as being items which Purchaser and Seller are unable to resolve and the decision of the Independent Accounting Firm for each disputed item must be within the range of values assigned to each such item in the Closing Balance Sheet prepared by Purchaser and the Notice of Disagreement, respectively. The resolution of the dispute by the Independent Accounting Firm shall be final, binding and non-appealable on the Parties. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be allocated between Purchaser, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, based upon the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each Party bears to the amount actually contested by such Party, as determined by the Independent Accounting Firm. For purposes of complying with this Section 3.3(c), Purchaser and Seller shall furnish to each other and to the Independent Accounting Firm such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed items as the Independent Accounting Firm may request and are available to that Party or its Affiliates (or its independent public accountants) and shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Independent Accounting Firm any material related to the disputed items and to discuss the items with the Independent Accounting Firm.

(d)The Closing Balance Sheet, and the amount of Net Debt and Working Capital of NewCo on a consolidated basis shall be fixed (i) upon written agreement of the Parties, (ii) when the Review Period lapses without a Notice of Disagreement or (iii) when they are determined pursuant to Section 3.3(c).

(e)The Total Purchase Price shall be adjusted to an amount equal to the Pre-Adjustment Purchase Price (i) minus the Net Debt Difference if the Net Debt Difference is greater than zero, or plus the absolute value of the Net Debt Difference if the Net Debt Difference is less than zero, and (ii) plus the Working Capital Difference if the Working Capital Difference is greater than zero, or minus the absolute value of the Working Capital Difference if the Working Capital Difference is less than zero. No adjustment shall be made with respect to the Net Debt Difference if it is equal to zero or with respect to the Working Capital Difference if it is equal to zero. The “Net Debt Difference” means the amount equal to the amount of Net Debt of the Volt Business on a consolidated basis fixed pursuant to Section 3.3(d) minus the Base Net Debt. The “Working Capital Difference” means the amount equal to the Working Capital of the Volt Business on a consolidated basis fixed pursuant to Section 3.3(d) minus the Base Working Capital. The “Total Difference” is equal to the difference in the Pre-Adjustment Purchase Price minus the Total Purchase Price as adjusted pursuant to this paragraph.

(f)Within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Balance Sheet, and the amount of Net Debt and Working Capital of NewCo on a consolidated basis have been fixed pursuant to Section 3.3(d):

- 12 -

(i)in the case the Total Difference is greater than zero, Seller shall pay to Purchaser an amount equal to the Total Difference; or

Such payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds, free of any bank and other charges, to Seller’s Account (if to be made to Seller) or the bank account specified in Schedule 3.3(f) (if to be made to Purchaser).

8.12Confidentiality.

(a)The Parties understand and agree that all Proprietary Information shall be treated as confidential. The receiving Party shall use the same degree of care as it uses with regard to its own proprietary information to prevent disclosure, use, or publication of the disclosing Party’s or its Affiliates’ Proprietary Information.

(i)obtained legally and freely from a third Person without restriction as to the disclosure of such information;

(ii)independently developed by the receiving Party or its Affiliates at a prior time or in a separate and distinct manner without benefit of any of the Proprietary Information of the disclosing Party or its Affiliates, and documented to be as such;

Any disclosure of Proprietary Information required by legal process shall only be made after providing the disclosing Party with notice thereof in order to permit the disclosing Party to seek an appropriate protective order or exemption. Violation by a Party or its Affiliates or agents of the foregoing provisions shall entitle the disclosing Party or its Affiliates, at its option, to obtain injunctive relief without showing of irreparable harm or injury. This Section 8.12 will be effective for a period of two (2) years after the Closing Date.

(c)For purposes hereof, “Proprietary Information” shall mean the contents of this Agreement and the information created, transferred, recorded, or employed as part of, or otherwise resulting from the negotiations or due diligence and other activities undertaken in

- 25 -

preparation for or pursuant to this Agreement, which constitutes the confidential, proprietary, or trade secret information of the disclosing Party or its Affiliates. Proprietary Information may include information relating to the Volt Business or information of a business, organizational, technical, financial, marketing, operational, regulatory, or sales nature and shall include any and all source codes and information relating to services, methods of operation, price lists, customer lists, technology, designs, specifications, or other proprietary information of the business or affairs of a Party or its Affiliates.

8.13Announcements. Prior to the Closing, each Party agrees not to issue any press release or make any other public announcement relating to this Agreement without the prior written approval of the other Party, except that Seller and Purchaser reserve the right, without the other Party’s prior consent, to make, or enable its Affiliate to make, any public disclosure that is required by applicable securities Laws or stock exchange rules (in which case the disclosing Party agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to advise the other Party prior to making the disclosure).

8.14JIP Covenants. JIP shall undertake, to the extent practically possible, necessary actions to the funds that are expected to make capital contributions to Purchaser so that Purchaser will be able to have sufficient funds to pay the Pre-Adjustment Purchase Price and the Total Difference (if required) pursuant to this Agreement, together with funds to be borrowed from financial institutions.

8.15Foreign Sales Office. Seller shall procure that the respective Volt Operating Companies shall enter into lease or sublease agreements with the respective Share Transfer Subsidiaries or relevant landlords regarding their sales offices to the extent necessary for the business of the Share Transfer Subsidiaries in the form and substance reasonably satisfactory to both Seller and Purchaser before the Closing Date or on the Closing Date immediately before the Closing.

(a)A Party that seeks indemnity under this Article IX (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the Party from whom indemnification is sought (an “Indemnifying Party”) within thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party first becomes aware of the facts, matter, circumstance or event upon which the Claim is based.

(b)The Claim Notice must contain (i) a description and, if known, the estimated amount of any Losses incurred by the Indemnified Party, and (ii) a reasonable explanation of the basis for the Claim Notice accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation submitted by the Indemnified Party.

(c)After serving of the Claim Notice including a Claim Notice with respect to a Third Party Claim, if the Indemnified Party is Purchaser, Seller and Seller’s representatives shall be granted reasonable access, at reasonable times and on reasonable notice, to the relevant properties, books and records, premises, storage facilities and relevant personnel of Purchaser, NewCo or the Share Transfer Subsidiaries and any other information relating thereto which may reasonably be required to enable Seller and Seller’s representatives to investigate any such fact, matter, circumstance or event upon which the Claim is based.

In the event a Claim Notice is delivered

- 27 -

by Purchaser to Seller with respect to Section 9.1(g) or Seller reasonably requests based on any Status Update, in addition to the access right under Section 8.6, Purchaser shall give Seller (upon written notice from Seller) reasonable access to documents, technical data or any other information, machinery or other equipment, directors, officers and employees of Purchaser, NewCo or Share Transfer Subsidiaries, and request access to the lawyers, other advisors and agents of Purchaser, NewCo or Share Transfer Subsidiaries, in each case, to the extent reasonably necessary for Seller and Seller’s representatives to evaluate, defend or otherwise make decisions or take actions regarding such Claim.

9.4Third Party Claim.

(a)If the Indemnified Party seeks indemnity under this Article IX in response to a claim or Proceeding by another Person not a Party to this Agreement (a “Third Party Claim”), then the Indemnified Party shall promptly give a Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party within the deadline set forth in Section 9.3(a); provided, however, that no delay or deficiency on the part of the Indemnified Party in so notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability under this Agreement except to the extent such delay or deficiency prejudices or otherwise adversely affects the rights of the Indemnifying Party with respect thereto.

(b)In the event of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses, assume at any time control of the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party by giving to the Indemnified Party written notice of its intention to assume control of the defense of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel at its own expense. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of the Third Party Claim. With respect to any Third Party Claim relating to the items separately set forth in Schedule 9.1(g), the provisions of this Section 9.4(b) supplements and shall not prejudice the provisions of Section 9.3(d).

(c)The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of, or consent to the entry of any Judgment (other than a Judgment of dismissal on the merits without costs) arising from, any such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (such consent shall not be unreasonably delayed, withheld or made conditional by the Indemnified Party); provided, however, that the consent of the Indemnified Party shall not be required if the Indemnifying

- 28 -

Party agrees in writing to pay any amounts payable pursuant to such settlement or any Judgment and such settlement or Judgment includes a full, complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from further liability. The Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any Judgment (other than a Judgment of dismissal on the merits without costs) arising from, any such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (such consent shall not be unreasonably delayed, withheld or made conditional by the Indemnifying Party); provided, however, that the consent of the Indemnifying Party shall not be required in the case that Purchaser agrees to a settlement of, or consent to the entry of any Judgment, with respect to any Third Party Claim relating to the items separately set forth in Schedule 9.1(g) to the extent that such settlement or Judgment is commercially reasonable.

(d)Without limiting the foregoing, if Seller or any of its Affiliates receives a Claim Notice or Third Party Claim arising out of any litigation matter referred to in Schedule 9.1(g) that is reasonably expected to give rise to a Loss to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (whether or not subject to indemnification by Seller pursuant to Section 9.1(g)), then (i) Purchaser and its applicable Affiliates shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof at its and their own expense and (ii) Seller shall not settle or agree to any settlement of, or consent to the entry of any Judgment (other than a Judgment of dismissal on the merits without costs) arising from, any such Claim Notice or Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of Purchaser or its applicable Affiliates (such consent shall not be unreasonably delayed, withheld or made conditional by Purchaser or its applicable Affiliates).

- 29 -

(A) any voluntary act or omission of Purchaser, NewCo or any of the Share Transfer Subsidiaries, or their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or other representatives after the Closing (for the avoidance of doubt, if the relevant Loss is increased by any voluntary act or omission of Purchaser, NewCo or any of the Share Transfer Subsidiaries, or their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or other representatives after the Closing, Purchaser shall not be entitled to bring a corresponding Claim only to the extent so increased, and Purchaser shall not be restricted from bringing a Claim with respect to the amount of the Loss prior to such increase); and/or

(B) any act or omission prior to the Closing by any of the Volt Operating Companies, NewCo, NewCo (AM), NewCo (HK) or NewCo (SH) specifically permitted in Schedule 8.1 of this Agreement or specifically requested by Purchaser.

(iii)the relevant Loss or liability is taken into account in determining the Working Capital or the Net Debt of NewCo as of the Closing Date and such amount is included in the calculation of the Total Purchase Price (as finally determined pursuant to Section 3.3).

(b)Cap and Deductible. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement:

(v)no indemnification payments shall be made by or on behalf of Seller under this Agreement until the aggregate amount of Losses for which Seller would (but for this clause (ii)) be liable thereunder exceeds one percent (1%) of the Total Purchase Price (such amount being, the “Deductible”), and then only to the extent of such excess over the Deductible;

(vi)the aggregate total amount in respect of which Seller shall be liable to indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the Total Purchase Price;

(vii)provided, however, that claims for indemnification made in respect of Seller’s breach of its Fundamental Warranties shall not count against the foregoing liability limit but shall instead be limited to the amount of the Total Purchase Price; and

- 30 -

(viii)provided, further, however, that claims for indemnification made pursuant to Sections 9.1(c) 9.1(d), 9.2(c) and 9.2(d) shall not be subject to any limitation set forth in this Section 9.6(b).

(c)Mitigation. The Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Losses with respect to which it may be entitled to seek indemnification pursuant to this Agreement.

9.7Exclusive Remedy.

(a)From and after the Closing, the sole and exclusive remedy of Purchaser for any matter arising out of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement shall be pursuant to the indemnification obligations set forth in Article IX and, except to the extent Purchaser has asserted a claim for indemnification by giving a Claim Notice in accordance with Section 9.3 prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period set forth in Section 9.5, Purchaser shall have no remedy against Seller for any breach of any provision of this Agreement.

(b)Nothing in this Article IX shall have the effect of limiting or restricting any liability of Seller in respect of a Claim arising as a result of any fraud, or fraudulent misrepresentation by Seller.

9.8Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payment. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Total Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement shall not be terminable by any Party upon the occurrence of, and after, the Closing.

(b)If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10.1, then this Agreement shall have no further effect, provided that, no Party shall be relieved of any liability for a breach of this Agreement, nor shall such termination be deemed to constitute a waiver of any available remedy for any such breach; provided further, that, Article IX (Indemnification), Section 10.1(b), Article XI (Miscellaneous) and any other provisions required to make such foregoing sections effective, shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

The execution and delivery of this BTA Hong Kong by Seller and the performance of its obligations hereunder will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any Transferred Assets. For the avoidance of doubt, except to the extent Seller fails to use commercially reasonable efforts, any failure to obtain any such approval or consent, or any circumstances resulting from any such failure shall not constitute a breach of Seller’s obligation hereunder.

If such approval or consent is not obtained on or prior to the Closing Date, or such assignment, transfer or novation would be in breach of applicable Law, Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser and act as agent for Purchaser under a reasonable arrangement to obtain for Purchaser the full benefit and burden of an assignment, transfer and novation of the rights, benefits, obligations and liabilities in connection with such Transferred Contract, to the extent (a) Seller is able to do so without breaching the terms upon which Seller acquired or incurred the relevant rights, benefits, obligations and/or liabilities and (b) permitted by applicable Law.

For the avoidance of doubt, except to the extent Seller fails to use commercially reasonable efforts, any failure to procure any such resignation letters or employment contracts, or any circumstances resulting from such failure, shall not constitute a breach of Seller’s obligation hereunder.

(ii)After the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause four additional employees set forth in Schedule B to be transferred from Seller to Purchaser on

October 1st, 2017 or any other date the Parties may mutually agree upon in writing, along with any long service payment and unused accrued paid leave with respect to such employees actually transferred to Purchaser. Section 4.2(i) shall apply mutatis mutandis upon such employee transfer.

Neither this Agreement nor any license or right hereunder, in whole or in part, shall be sublicensed, assigned or transferred by LICENSEE, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of LICENSOR.
