Termination Call Option

Within 60 (sixty) Business Days from the EOD Notice, the Non-Defaulting Shareholders (“Non-defaulting Purchasers”) shall give an irrevocable Notice to the defaulting Party(ies) calling upon the transfer of the Shares by defaulting Party(ies) to the Non-Defaulting Purchaser;

Upon receiving the notice from Non-defaulting Purchasers as above, the defaulting Party(ies) shall be under obligation to transfer the Shares as required by the Non-defaulting Purchaser and shall execute necessary transfer forms, delivery instruction slips and such documents as required to effectively transfer the Shares to Non-defaulting Purchasers;

The sale and purchase of the Shares of defaulting Party(ies) to the Non-defaulting Purchaser shall take place on a spot delivery basis immediately following the date when the Non-defaulting Purchaser calls upon the defaulting Party(ies) to transfer their Shares and after obtaining the necessary government approvals;

The payment of consideration to defaulting Party(ies) and transfer of Shares to Non-defaulting Purchaser shall take place simultaneously.

ii.

Termination Put Option

Within 60 (sixty) Business Days from the EOD Notice, the Non-Defaulting Shareholders (“Non-defaulting Sellers”) shall give an irrevocable notice to the defaulting Party(ies) to purchase the Shares of the Non-defaulting Seller by defaulting Party(ies);

Upon receiving the notice from Non-defaulting Sellers as above, the defaulting Party(ies) shall be under obligation to purchase the Shares as required by the Non-defaulting Seller and shall execute such documents as required to effectively transfer the Shares to Non-defaulting Purchasers;

The sale and purchase of the Shares of Non-defaulting Seller to the defaulting Party(ies) shall take place on a spot delivery basis immediately following the date when the Non-defaulting Seller calls upon the defaulting Party(ies) to Purchase their Shares and after obtaining the necessary government approvals;

The payment of consideration to Non-defaulting Seller and transfer of Shares to defaulting Party(ies) shall take place simultaneously.

14.6.3.

As consideration for the transfer of Shares under the Termination Options, the relevant Party shall pay the following:

Under the Termination Call Option, subject to Applicable Law, the Non-defaulting Shareholders shall, either by itself or through its Associates or nominees, purchase the Shares of the defaulting Party(ies) at eighty percent (80%) of the fair market value at the time of the Event of Default on a per Share basis (‘Termination Call Option Price’). In case, more than one Non-defaulting Shareholders desire to purchase the Shares of the defaulting Party(ies), the Non-defaulting Shareholders shall be entitled to make such purchase pro rata to their shareholding; and

ii.

Under the Termination Put Option, subject to Applicable Law, the defaulting Party(ies) shall, either by itself or through its Associates or nominees, purchase the Shares of the Non-defaulting Shareholders at one hundred twenty (120%) of the fair market value at the time of the Event of Default on a per Share basis (‘Termination Put Option Price’).

iii.

The fair market value for the purposes of sub- Clauses 14.6.3 (i) and 14.6.3 (ii) above shall be determined by the chartered accountant. The chartered accountant shall be appointed by the Non-defaulting Shareholders and the cost of valuation shall be borne by the defaulting Party(ies).

iv.

The sale and purchase of the Shares pursuant to the Termination Options shall be consummated within 60 (Sixty) Business Days from the date of receipt of the EOD Notice. If, for any reason, such sale and purchase of Shares has not been consummated within 60 (Sixty) Business Days from the date of receipt of the EOD Notice (as extended, if necessary, to obtain requisite approvals from any Government Authority), any Non-defaulting Shareholder, as the case

may be, may make a written request to the other Parties requesting that the Company should commence and consummate a sale of the Company, provided that, the method of sale of the Company shall be chosen by the Non-defaulting Shareholder. In the event any Party has provided such written request pursuant to the foregoing sentence, the Company and the other Parties agree to commence and consummate such a sale of the Company.

For the avoidance of doubt, the remedies available to the Parties under this Clause 14 are in addition to any other remedy available to them under this Agreement or Applicable Law, whether in contract or in tort.

14.6.4.

Subject to Applicable Laws in respect of any transfer of Shares contemplated in this Clause 14.6 involving non-residents and residents, (a) in case, the non-resident is a seller and the transfer price as per Clause 14.6.3 is more than the DCF Maximum Transfer Value, the non-resident shall have an option but not the obligation to sell the Shares at the DCF Maximum Transfer Value, and (b) in case the non-resident is a buyer and the transfer price as per Clause 14.6.3 is less than the DCF Minimum Transfer Value, the non-resident shall have an option to purchase the Shares at the said transfer price as mentioned calculated in accordance with this Clause 14.6.3(i) through its Associates resident in India or the non-resident shall have an option but not the obligation to purchase the Shares at the DCF Minimum Transfer Value. In case the valuation methodology for the minimum or maximum price is substituted by RBI or any other government authority, the provision of this Clause 14 shall apply as if the DCF Transfer Value, DCF Maximum Transfer Value and DCF Minimum Transfer Value is substituted by the valuation as per the new methodology. If there are any disputes in the projections, then the matter shall be referred to an Independent Valuer nominated by Calpian and such Independent Valuer’s decision on the projections and the calculation of the DCF Value shall be final on the Parties. The cost of valuation shall be borne equally by the Parties.

14.6.5.

For the avoidance of doubt, such transfer shall be executed as a spot delivery contract.
