 DISPUTE RESOLUTION AGREEMENT

This Dispute Resolution Agreement is a contract and covers important issues relating to your rights. It
is your sole responsibility to read it and understand it. You are free to seek assistance from
independent advisors of your choice outside the Company or to refrain from doing so if that is your
choice.

1. How This Agreement Applies

This Agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. and evidences a
transaction involving commerce. This Agreement applies to any dispute arising out of or related to your
employment with HCL America, Inc. or one of its affiliates, successor, subsidiaries or parent companies
("Company") or termination of employment regardless of its date of accrual and survives after the
employment relationship terminates. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to
prevent or excuse you (individually or in concert with others) or the Company from utilizing the
Company's existing internal procedures for resolution of complaints, and this Agreement is not intended
to be a substitute for the utilization of such procedures.

Except as it otherwise provides, this Agreement is intended to apply to the resolution of disputes that
otherwise would be resolved in a court of law or before a forum other than arbitration. This Agreement
requires all such disputes to be resolved only by an arbitrator through final and binding arbitration
and not by way of court or jury trial. Such disputes include without limitation disputes arising out of or
relating to interpretation or application of this Agreement, but not as to the enforceability, revocability
or validity of the Agreement or any portion of the Agreement.

Except as it otherwise provides, this Agreement also applies, without limitation, to disputes arising out
of or related to the employment relationship, or the termination of that relationship (including post-
employment defamation or retaliation) trade secrets, unfair competition, compensation, breaks and rest
periods, termination, discrimination or harassment and claims arising under the Uniform Trade Secrets
Act, Civil Rights Act of 1964, Americans With Disabilities Act, Age Discrimination in Employment Act,
Family Medical Leave Act, Fair Labor Standards Act, Employee Retirement Income Security Act (except
for claims for employee benefits under any benefit plan sponsored by the Company and (a) covered by
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 or (b) funded by insurance), Affordable Care Act,
Genetic Information Non-Discrimination Act, and state statutes, if any, addressing the same or similar
subject matters, and all other federal or state legal claims arising out of or relating to your employment
or the termination of employment.

2. Limitations On How This Agreement Applies

This Agreement does not apply to claims for workers compensation, state disability insurance and
unemployment insurance benefits.

Regardless of any other terms of this Agreement, claims may be brought before and remedies awarded
by an administrative agency if applicable law permits access to such an agency notwithstanding the
existence of an agreement to arbitrate. Such administrative claims include without limitation claims or
charges brought before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the U.S. Department of Labor,
the National Labor Relations Board, or the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs. Nothing in
this Agreement shall be deemed to preclude or excuse a party from bringing an administrative claim
before any agency in order to fulfill the party's obligation to exhaust administrative remedies before
making a claim in arbitration.

Disputes that may not be subject to predispute arbitration agreement as provided by the Dodd-Frank
Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Public Law 111-203) are excluded from the coverage
of this Agreement.

Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to alter the at-will nature of your employment, which can be
terminated at any time by you or the Company, with or without cause or notice.

3. Selecting The Arbitrator

The Arbitrator shall be selected by mutual agreement of the Company and you. Unless you and the
Company mutually agree otherwise, the Arbitrator shall be an attorney licensed to practice in the
location where the arbitration proceeding will be conducted or a retired federal or state judicial officer
who presided in the jurisdiction where the arbitration will be conducted. If for any reason the parties
cannot agree to an Arbitrator, either party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction with authority
over the location where the arbitration will be conducted for appointment of a neutral Arbitrator. The
court shall then appoint an arbitrator, who shall act under this Agreement with the same force and
effect as if the parties had selected the arbitrator by mutual agreement. The location of the arbitration
proceeding shall be no more than 45 miles from the place where you last worked for the Company,
unless each party to the arbitration agrees in writing otherwise.

4. Starting The Arbitration

All claims in arbitration are subject to the same statutes of limitation that would apply in court. The
party bringing the claim must demand arbitration in writing and deliver the written demand by hand or
first class mail to the other party within the applicable statute of limitations period. The demand for
arbitration shall include identification of the parties, a statement of the legal and factual basis of the
claim(s), and a specification of the remedy sought. Any demand for arbitration made to the Company
shall be provided to the Company's Legal Department: HCL America, Inc. 330 Potrero Avenue,

demand for arbitration. A party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for temporary or
preliminary injunctive relief in connection with an arbitrable controversy, but only upon the ground that
the award to which that party may be entitled may be rendered ineffectual without such provisional
relief.

5. How Arbitration Proceedings Are Conducted

In arbitration, the parties will have the right to conduct adequate civil discovery, bring dispositive
motions, and present witnesses and evidence as needed to present their cases and defenses, and any
disputes in this regard shall be resolved by the Arbitrator. At a party’s request or on the Arbitrator’s
own initiative, the Arbitrator may subpoena witnesses or documents for discovery purposes or for the
arbitration hearing.

You and the Company agree to bring any dispute in arbitration on an individual basis only, and not on a
class, collective, or private attorney general representative action basis. Accordingly,

(a) There will be no right or authority for any dispute to be brought, heard or arbitrated as a class action
("Class Action Waiver"). The Class Action Waiver shall not be severable from this Agreement in any case
in which (1) the dispute is filed as a class action and (2) there is a final judicial determination that the
Class Action Waiver is invalid, unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable. In such instances, the
class action must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) There will be no right or authority for any dispute to be brought, heard or arbitrated as a collective
action ("Collective Action Waiver"). The Collective Action Waiver shall not be severable from this
Agreement in any case in which (1) the dispute is filed as a collective action and (2) there is a final
judicial determination that the Collective Action Waiver is invalid, unenforceable, unconscionable, void
or voidable. In such instances, the collective action must be litigated in a civil court of competent
jurisdiction.

(c) There will be no right or authority for any dispute to be brought, heard or arbitrated as a private
attorney general representative action ("Private Attorney General Waiver"). The Private Attorney
General Waiver does not apply to any claim you bring in arbitration as a private attorney general solely
on your own behalf and not on behalf of or regarding others. The Private Attorney General Waiver shall
be severable from this Agreement in any case in which there is a final judicial determination that the
Private Attorney General Waiver is invalid, unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable. In such
instances and where the claim is brought as a private attorney general, such private attorney general
claim must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction.

Although you will not be retaliated against, disciplined or threatened with discipline as a result of
exercising his or her rights under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act by the filing of or

participation in a class, collective or representative action in any forum, the Company may lawfully seek
enforcement of this Agreement and the Class Action Waiver, Collective Action Waiver and Private
Attorney General Waiver under the Federal Arbitration Act and seek dismissal of such class, collective or
representative actions or claims. Notwithstanding any other clause contained in this Agreement, any
claim that all or part of the Class Action Waiver, Collective Action Waiver or Private Attorney General
Waiver is invalid, unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable may be determined only by a court of
competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator.

The Class Action Waiver, Collective Action Waiver and Private Attorney General Waiver shall be
severable in any case in which the dispute is filed as an individual action and severance is necessary to
ensure that the individual action proceeds in arbitration.

6. Paying For the Arbitration

Each party will pay the fees for his, her or its own attorneys, subject to any remedies to which that party
may later be entitled under applicable law. However, in all cases where required by law, the Company
will pay the Arbitrator's and arbitration fees. If under applicable law the Company is not required to pay
all of the Arbitrator's and/or arbitration fees, such fee(s) will be apportioned between the parties in
accordance with said applicable law, and any disputes in that regard will be resolved by the Arbitrator.

7. The Arbitration Hearing and Award

The parties will arbitrate their dispute before the Arbitrator, who shall confer with the parties regarding
the conduct of the hearing and resolve any disputes the parties may have in that regard. Within 30 days
of the close of the arbitration hearing, any party will have the right to prepare, serve on the other party
and file with the Arbitrator a brief. The Arbitrator may award any party any remedy to which that party
is entitled under applicable law, but such remedies shall be limited to those that would be available to a
party in his or her individual capacity in a court of law for the claims presented to and decided by the
Arbitrator, and no remedies that otherwise would be available to an individual in a court of law will be
forfeited by virtue of this Agreement. The Arbitrator shall apply applicable controlling law and will issue
a decision or award in writing, stating the essential findings of fact and conclusions of law. Except as may
be permitted or required by law, as determined by the Arbitrator, neither a party nor an Arbitrator may
disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent
of all parties. A court of competent jurisdiction shall have the authority to enter a judgment upon the
award made pursuant to the arbitration.

8. An Employee's Right to Opt Out Of Arbitration

Arbitration is not a mandatory condition of your employment at the Company, and therefore you may
submit a statement notifying the Company that you wish to opt out and not be subject to this

stating your intention to opt out. In order to be effective, your opt out notice must be provided within

out of this Agreement within 30 days of your first day of active employment with the Company,
continuing your employment constitutes mutual acceptance of the terms of this Agreement by you and
the Company. You have the right to consult with counsel of your choice concerning this Agreement.

9. Non-Retaliation

It is against Company policy for you to be subject to retaliation if you exercise your right to assert claims
under this Agreement. If you believe that you have been retaliated against by anyone at the Company,
you should immediately report this to the Human Resources Department.

10. Enforcement of This Agreement

This Agreement is the full and complete agreement relating to the formal resolution of disputes covered
by this Agreement. Except as stated in paragraph 5, above, in the event any portion of this Agreement is
deemed unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will be enforceable. If the Class Action Waiver,
Collective Action Waiver or Private Attorney General Waiver is deemed to be unenforceable, the
Company and you agree that this Agreement is otherwise silent as to any party's ability to bring a class,
collective or representative action in arbitration.
