Hitachi reserves the right to oppose the proposed disclosure and/or take steps to protect their interests with respect of the information or documents in accordance with this Settlement Agreement and/or the order, regulatory directive, rule or law of this or any applicable jurisdiction including but not limited to Canada and the US. Subject to the rules of evidence, any court order with regard to confidentiality and the other provisions of this Settlement Agreement, Hitachi agrees to use reasonable efforts to provide affidavits for use at trial in the Proceedings for the sole purpose of supporting the submission into evidence of any information and/or documents provided by Hitachi in accordance with this Settlement Agreement and for the prosecution of the Proceedings. If, and only if, a court should determine that affidavits are inadequate for the purpose of submitting into evidence the information and/or documents produced by Hitachi, Hitachi agrees to use reasonable efforts to make available for testimony at trial an appropriate current officer or employee of Hitachi, but solely as is reasonably necessary for

- 14 - the prosecution of the Proceedings and, specifically, for the purpose of admitting into evidence any information and/or documents provided by Hitachi to Class Counsel pursuant to section 3.3 herein. (l) (m) The obligations of the Settling Defendants to cooperate as particularized in section 3.3 shall not be affected by the release provisions contained in section 6.1 of this Settlement Agreement. The obligations of the Settling Defendants to cooperate shall cease at the date of final judgment in the Proceedings against all Defendants. In the event the Settling Defendants materially breach section 3.3, the Plaintiffs may move before the Courts, on notice to the Settling Defendants, to enforce the terms of this Settlement Agreement. A material factor influencing the decision by the Settling Defendants to execute this Settlement Agreement is their desire to limit the burden and expense of this litigation. Accordingly, Class Counsel agree to exercise good faith in seeking cooperation from the Settling Defendants and to avoid seeking information that is unnecessary, cumulative or duplicative and agree otherwise to avoid imposing undue, unreasonable or disproportionate burden or expense on the Settling Defendants. ARTICLE IV OPT OUT DEADLINE AND DISTRIBUTION OF THE SETTLEMENT AMOUNT AND ACCRUED INTEREST 4.1 Opt Out Deadline (a) (b) Unless ordered otherwise by any of the Courts, the procedure for Opting Out of the Proceedings was set out in the Orders issued by the B.C. Court on January 26, 2012, the Ontario Court on March 27, 2012, and the Quebec Court on March 27, 2012, and the Opt Out Deadline expired on June 2, 2012. The Plaintiffs and Class Counsel represent and warrant that the only persons within the Settlement Classes who opted out of the Proceedings by June 2, 2012 were the Village of Veteran, Alberta, and the City of Moncton, New Brunswick. If, before the hearing of the motions for Settlement Approval under Section 2.3, a person included in one of the Settlement Classes objects to an order of a Court under Section 2.2 on the grounds that such person believes they should be able to Opt Out, then that objection shall be put before the Court at the hearing of the motions for Settlement Approval under Section 2.3. 4.2 Distribution Protocol (a) After the Effective Date, at a time wholly within the discretion of Class Counsel, but on notice to the Settling Defendants, Class Counsel will make an application seeking orders from the Courts approving the Distribution Protocol.

- 15 - (b) The Distribution Protocol shall require the Settlement Class Members seeking compensation to give credit for any compensation received through other proceedings or in private out-of-class settlements, in the US or Canada, unless by such proceedings or private out-of-class settlements the Settlement Class Member s claim was released in its entirety, in which case the Settlement Class Member shall be deemed ineligible for any compensation. 4.3 No Responsibility for Administration or Fees Neither the Settling Defendants nor Defence Counsel shall have any responsibility, financial obligations or liability whatsoever with respect to the investment, distribution or administration of monies in the Account including, but not limited to, Administration Expenses and Class Counsel Fees. 4.4 Fonds d'aide aux recours collectifs (a) (b) The Settlement Class Members, Class Counsel and/or the Claims Administrator shall make the necessary arrangements to comply with the Act Respecting Class Action, R.S.Q., c. R-2.1 and the Règlement sur le pourcentage prélevé par le Fonds d'aide aux recours collectifs, R.R.Q., c. R-2.1, r. 2. Neither the Settling Defendants nor Defence Counsel shall have any responsibility, financial obligations or liability whatsoever with respect to the payment due and payable to the Fonds d'aide aux recours collectifs. 5.1 Right of Termination ARTICLE V TERMINATION OF SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT (a) The Plaintiffs and/or the Settling Defendants have the right to terminate this Settlement Agreement in the event that (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) the BC or Quebec Court declines to add the Settling Defendants to the BC or Quebec Proceeding for settlement purposes only; any Court declines to certify or authorize the Proceedings as class proceedings against the Settling Defendants for settlement purposes only; any Court declines to approve this Settlement Agreement or any material part hereof which includes but not limited to the Settlement Amount, the form and content of the bar order and waiver of solidarity order or the terms of releases contemplated in this Settlement Agreement; any Court approves this Settlement Agreement in a materially modified form other than as amended by the parties in accordance with section 12.8 hereof; or

- 16 - (v) The BC Second Order, the Quebec Second Order or the Ontario Second Order does not become a Final Order. (b) In addition to section 5.1(a), the Settling Defendants shall, in their sole discretion, have the option to terminate the Settlement Agreement in the event that: (i) (ii) any Court refuses or declines to grant a bar order or waiver of solidarity order that is substantially in accordance with the provisions of section 7.1 hereof; or any Court orders a new Opt Out Deadline and, the Confidential Opt Out Threshold is met. (c) (d) (e) (f) In addition to section 5.1(a), the Plaintiffs shall, in their sole discretion, have the option to terminate the Settlement Agreement in the event of non-payment of the Settlement Amount. If the Settling Defendants or the Plaintiffs elect to terminate the Settlement Agreement pursuant to section 5.1, a written notice of termination shall be provided. Upon delivery of such a written notice, this Settlement Agreement shall be terminated and, except as provided for in section 5.4, it shall be null and void and have no further force or effect, shall not be binding on the Parties, and shall not be used as evidence or otherwise in any litigation. All material and information provided shall be returned or destroyed by Class Counsel in accordance with section 5.2(a)(iii) and shall not be used in any way by the Plaintiff, the Settlement Class Members, or Class Counsel. Any order, ruling or determination made by any Court with respect to Class Counsel s fees and disbursements or with respect to the Distribution Protocol shall not be deemed to be a material modification of all, or a part, of this Settlement Agreement and shall not constitute any basis for the termination of this Settlement Agreement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that they shall not rely on any current or future orders or rulings arising from or in connection with the British Columbia Court of Appeal decisions in Sun-Rype Products Ltd. v. Archer Daniels Midland Company (Court of Appeal Docket #CA038308, CA038314 and CA038324) and Pro-Sys Consultants Ltd. v. Microsoft Corporation (Court of Appeal Docket #CA034325 and CA037968), and the Court of Appeal of Québec decision in Option consommateurs v. Infineon Technologies AG (Court of Appeal (Montreal), Number 500-09-018872-085) as a material adverse change or as any basis for the purpose of terminating this Settlement Agreement, or otherwise.

- 17-5.2 If Settlement Agreement is Terminated or Set Aside (a) If this Settlement Agreement is terminated or set aside: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) no motion to certify or authorize the Proceedings as class proceedings against the Settling Defendants on the basis of this Settlement Agreement or to approve this Settlement Agreement, which has not been heard, shall proceed; any order certifying or authorizing the Proceedings as class proceedings or adding the Settling Defendants as defendants in BC and/or Quebec Proceedings on the basis of this Settlement Agreement or for purposes of approving this Settlement Agreement shall be set aside and declared null and void and of no force or effect, and all Parties shall be estopped from asserting otherwise; within ten days of such termination having occurred, Class Counsel shall destroy all documents or other materials provided by Defence Counsel under section 3.3(c) or containing or reflecting information derived from such documents or other materials received from the Settling Defendants and, to the extent Class Counsel has disclosed any documents or information provided by the Settling Defendants to any other person, shall recover and destroy such documents or information. Class Counsel shall provide Defence Counsel with a written certification by Class Counsel of such destruction. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall be construed to require Class Counsel to destroy any of their work product. However, any documents or information provided by Defence Counsel, or received from Defence Counsel in connection with this Settlement Agreement, may not be disclosed to any person in any manner or used, directly or indirectly, by Class Counsel or any other person in any way for any reason, without the express prior written permission of the Settling Defendants. Class Counsel shall take appropriate steps and precautions to ensure and maintain the confidentiality of such documents, information and any work product of Class Counsel; and Any step taken by the Settling Defendants in the Proceedings and the Ontario Additional Proceeding in relation to this Settlement Agreement shall be without prejudice to any position that any of the Settling Defendants may later take in respect of any procedural or substantive issues in the Proceedings or any proceedings in Canada, or in respect of the jurisdiction of the Courts or any other court in Canada over such defendants or their deeds or other conduct. 5.3 Allocation of Monies in the Account Following Termination If the Settlement Agreement is terminated, BC Class Counsel or the Claims Administrator, who holds the Settlement Amount, shall return to the Settling Defendants all monies in the Account

- 18 - including accrued interest, but less the amount of any income taxes paid in respect of any interest earned on monies in the Account within thirty (30) business days of the relevant termination event in section 5.1, and less any costs and expenses that have been actually incurred as at the date of termination in relation to providing notice as required pursuant to the Settlement Agreement up to a maximum of $25,000 and in relation to reasonable costs of translation pursuant to the Settlement Agreement. 5.4 Survival of Provisions After Termination (a) (b) If this Settlement Agreement is terminated, the provisions of sections 2.4, 3.2(b), 3.2(c), 3.3(a), 3.3(b), 3.3(f), 3.3(g), 3.3(h) (first sentence only), 3.3(i), 3.3(j), 5.1(d), 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3(b), 9.5, 11.2, and 12.6 (and any additional provisions governing confidentiality) and the definitions and Schedules applicable thereto shall survive the termination and continue in full force and effect. The definitions and Schedules shall survive only for the limited purpose of the interpretation of sections 2.4, 3.2(b), 3.2(c), 3.3(a), 3.3(b), 3.3(f), 3.3(g), 3.3(h) (first sentence only), 3.3(i), 3.3(j), 5.1(d), 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3(b), 9.5, 11.2, and 12.6 (and any additional provisions governing confidentiality) within the meaning of this Settlement Agreement, but for no other purposes. All other provisions of this Settlement Agreement and all other obligations pursuant to this Settlement Agreement shall cease immediately. The Plaintiffs and Class Counsel expressly acknowledge that they will not, in any way whatsoever, use the fact or existence of this Settlement Agreement as any form of admission, whether of liability, wrongdoing, or otherwise, of the Settling Defendants.
