If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and the Selling Shareholders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Shareholders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the ADSs purchased under this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Selling Shareholders bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters with respect to the ADSs purchased under this Agreement, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Selling Shareholders on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company, the Selling Shareholders and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this subsection (e) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (e). The amount paid or payable

by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (e) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (e), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the ADSs underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations in this subsection (e) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint. The remedies provided for in this Section 9 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

(f) The obligations of the Company or the Selling Shareholders, respectively, under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability that the Company or the Selling Shareholders, respectively, may otherwise have; and the obligations of the Underwriters under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Underwriters may otherwise have.

(g) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 9 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, the Selling Shareholders and the other parties to this Agreement that are contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, any person controlling any Underwriter or any affiliate of any Underwriter, any Selling Shareholder or any person controlling any Selling Shareholder, or the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Equity Shares or ADSs.

10. (a) If any Underwriter shall default in its obligation to purchase ADSs which it has agreed to purchase hereunder at the Time of Delivery, the Representatives may in their discretion arrange for the Representatives or another party or other parties to purchase such ADSs on the terms contained herein. If within thirty-six hours after such default by any Underwriter the Representatives do not arrange for the purchase of such ADSs, then the Selling Shareholders shall be entitled to a further period of thirty-six hours within which to procure another party or other parties satisfactory to the Representatives to purchase such ADSs on such terms. In the event that, within the respective prescribed periods, the Representatives notify the Company and the Selling Shareholders that the Representatives have so arranged for the purchase of such ADSs, or the Selling Shareholders notify the Representatives that they have so arranged for the purchase of such ADSs, the Representatives or the Selling Shareholders shall have the right to postpone the Time of Delivery for a period of not more than seven days, in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement or the ADS Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or in any other documents or arrangements, and the Company agrees to file promptly any amendments to the Registration Statement, the ADS Registration Statement or the Prospectus which in the Representatives’ may thereby be made necessary. The term “Underwriter” as used in this Agreement shall include any person

substituted under this Section with like effect as if such person had originally been a party to this Agreement with respect to such ADSs.

(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the ADSs of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the Representatives and the Selling Shareholders as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate number of such ADSs which remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate number of all of the ADSs to be purchased at the Time of Delivery, then the Selling Shareholders shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the number of ADSs which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder at the Time of Delivery and, in addition, to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase its pro rata share (based on the number of ADSs which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the ADSs of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of ADSs of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the Representatives and the Selling Shareholders as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate number of such ADSs which remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate number of all of the ADSs to be purchased at the Time of Delivery, or if the Selling Shareholders shall not exercise the right described in subsection (b) above to require non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase ADSs of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, then this Agreement shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter. the Company or the Selling Shareholders, except for the expenses to be borne by the Company, the Selling Shareholders and the Underwriters as provided in Section 7 hereof and the indemnity and contribution agreements in Section 9 hereof; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

11. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, the Selling Shareholders and the several Underwriters, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, its directors, officers, employees or agents, or any controlling person of any Underwriter, or the Company, or any of the Selling Shareholders, or any officer or director or controlling person of the Company or any controlling person of any Selling Shareholder, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the ADSs.

12. If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 10 hereof, neither the Company nor the Selling Shareholders shall then be under any liability to any Underwriter except as provided in Sections 7 and 9 hereof; but if for any other reason any ADSs are not delivered by or on behalf of the Selling Shareholders as provided herein, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters through the Representatives for all out-of-pocket expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in making preparations for the purchase, sale and delivery of the ADSs not so delivered, but the Company and the Selling Shareholders shall then be under no further liability to any Underwriter in respect of the ADSs not so delivered except as provided in Sections 7 and 9 hereof.

13. The Representatives may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the Company and the Selling Shareholders, at any time at or prior to the Time of Delivery (i) if there has been, since the time of execution of this Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Pricing Prospectus, any material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) if there has occurred any adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or India or in the international financial markets, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in the United States, Indian or international political, financial or economic conditions (including a declaration by the United States or India of a national emergency or war) or currency exchange rates or exchange controls, in each case in clause (i) or (ii) the effect of which is so material and adverse as to make it, in the judgment of the Representatives, impracticable or inadvisable to market the ADSs or to enforce contracts for the purchase or sale of the Equity Shares or ADSs, or (iii) if trading in any securities of the Company (including the Equity Shares or the ADSs) has been suspended or materially limited by the Commission or the Indian Exchanges or Nasdaq, or if trading generally on the Indian Exchanges, the American Stock Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq has been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by any of said exchanges or by such system or by order of the Commission, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or any other governmental authority, or a material disruption has occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States or India or with respect to Clearstream or Euroclear systems in Europe, or (iv) if a banking moratorium has been declared by either, Indian, United States Federal, United Kingdom or New York authorities. Any termination pursuant to this Section 13 shall be without liability on the part of (a) the Company or any Selling Shareholder to any Underwriter, except that the Company shall be obligated to reimburse the expenses of the Representatives and the Underwriters pursuant to Section 7 hereof, (b) any Underwriter to the Company or any Selling Shareholder, or (c) of any party hereto to any other party except that the provisions of Sections 7 and 9 shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination.

14. In all dealings hereunder, the Representatives shall act on behalf of each of the Underwriters, and the parties hereto shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of any Underwriter made or given by the Representatives jointly; and in all dealings with any Selling Shareholder hereunder, the Representatives and the Company shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of such Selling Shareholder made or given by the Escrow Agent, as Attorney-in-Fact for such Selling Shareholder.

All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing. and if to the Underwriters shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to each of the Representatives x/x XXX XXXX Xxxx X.X., Xxxx Xxxx branch and N M Rothschild & Sons (Hong Kong) Limited, each trading as ABN AMRO Rothschild, 41st Floor, Xxxxxx Kong Center,

Any such statements, requests, notices or agreements shall take effect upon receipt thereof.

15. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the benefit of. the Underwriters, the Company and the Selling Shareholders, and, to the extent provided in Sections 9 and 11 hereof, the officers and directors of the Company, the directors, officers, employees and agents of any Underwriter, and each person who controls the Company, any Selling Shareholder or any Underwriter, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement. No purchaser of any of the ADSs from any Underwriter shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.

16. The Company and each Selling Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that (i) the purchase and sale of the ADSs pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company and the Selling Shareholders, on the one hand, and the several Underwriters, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction each Underwriter is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Company or any Selling Shareholder, (iii) no Underwriter has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company or any Selling Shareholder with respect to the Offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Company or any Selling Shareholder on other matters) or any other obligation to the Company or any Selling Shareholder except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement and (iv) the Company and each Selling Shareholder has consulted their respective own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate. The Company and each Selling Shareholder agrees that it will not claim that the Underwriters, or any of them, has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Company or any Selling Shareholder, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

17. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably (i) agrees that any legal suit, action or proceeding against the Company or any Selling Shareholder brought by any Underwriter or by any person who controls any Underwriter arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be instituted in any New York State or United States federal court located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York (each, a “New York Court”) (ii) waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such proceeding and (iii) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. The Company and each Selling Shareholder has appointed CT Corporation System, Los Angeles, California, as its authorized agent (the “Authorized Agent”) upon whom process may be served in any such action arising out of or based on this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby which may be instituted in any New York Court by any Underwriter or by any person who controls any Underwriter, expressly consents to the jurisdiction of any such court in respect of any such action, and waives any other requirements of or objections to personal jurisdiction with respect thereto. Such appointment shall be irrevocable. The Company and each Selling Shareholder represents and warrants that the Authorized Agent has agreed to act as such agent for service of process and agrees to take any and all action, including the filing of any and all documents and instruments, that may be necessary to continue such appointment in full force and effect as aforesaid. Service of process upon the Authorized Agent and written notice of such service to the party that has appointed it shall be deemed, in every respect, effective service of process upon the Company and any Selling Shareholder, as the case may be.

18. In respect of any judgment or order given or made for any amount due hereunder that is expressed and paid in a currency (the “judgment currency”) other than United States dollars, the Company and the Selling Shareholders will indemnify each Underwriter against any loss incurred by such Underwriter as a result of any variation as between (i) the rate of exchange at which the United States dollar amount is converted into the judgment currency for the purpose of such judgment or order and (ii) the rate of exchange at which an Underwriter is able to purchase United States dollars with the amount of the judgment currency actually received by such Underwriter. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of the Company and the Selling Shareholders and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. The term “rate of exchange” shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of or conversion into United States dollars.

19. Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement.

20. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

21. This Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties hereto in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

If the foregoing is in accordance with the Representatives’ understanding, please sign and return to us one original or counterpart hereof for each of the Company, the Selling Shareholders and each of the Representatives of the Underwriters plus one for each counsel and the Depositary, and upon the acceptance hereof by the Representatives, on behalf of each of the Underwriters, this letter and such acceptance hereof shall constitute a binding agreement among each of the Underwriters, the Company and the Selling Shareholders. It is understood that the Representatives’ acceptance of this letter on behalf of each of the Underwriters is pursuant to the authority set forth in a form of Agreement among Underwriters, the form of which shall be submitted to the Company and the Selling Shareholders for examination upon request, but without warranty on the Representatives’ part as to the authority of the signers thereof.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned understands that ABN AMRO Bank N.V., Hong Kong branch and N M Rothschild & Sons (Hong Kong) Limited, each trading as ABN AMRO Rothschild, Banc of America Securities LLC, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Xxxxxxx Xxxxx (Asia) L.L.C., X.X. Xxxxxx Securities Inc., Nomura Singapore Limited and UBS AG, as representatives (the “Representatives”), propose to enter into an Underwriting Agreement on behalf of the several Underwriters named in Schedule II to such agreement (collectively, the “Underwriters”), with Infosys Technologies Limited, a public limited company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of India (the “Company”), and the shareholders named in Schedule I thereto (the “Selling Shareholders”) under which the Selling Shareholders propose to offer and sell equity shares of the Company (the “Equity Shares”) in the form of American Depositary Shares (the “ADSs”) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form F-3 to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Offering”).

In consideration of the agreement by the Underwriters to offer and sell the Equity Shares in the form of ADSs, and of other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees that, during the period beginning from the date hereof and continuing to and including the date 90 days after the date of the final Prospectus covering the Offering, the undersigned will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, contract to sell. grant any option or warrant to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of or file a registration statement or similar document relating to ADSs or Equity Shares or any securities convertible into, exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive Equity Shares or ADSs, whether now owned or hereinafter acquired, owned directly by the undersigned (including holding as a custodian) or with respect to which the undersigned has beneficial ownership within the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively the “Undersigned’s Shares”), except as may be sold pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Invitation to Offer, delivered by the Company to holders of the Equity Shares in connection with the Offering, containing a description of the terms upon which the Company is sponsoring the offering of ADSs against Equity Shares accepted from holders of the Equity Shares in India, pursuant to (i) the FEMA Notification No. 4112001, dated March 2, 2001 issued by the Reserve Bank of India, (ii) the Notification No. 15/23/99-NRI dated July 29, 2002 issued by Government of India, Ministry of Finance, (iii) the ‘Operative Guidelines for Disinvestment of shares by the Indian Companies in the overseas market through issue of ADRs/GDRs’ as notified by the Government of India, Ministry of Finance vide Notification No. 15/23/99-NRI dated July 29. 2002 and (iv) the Issue of Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds and Ordinary Shares (Through Depository Receipt Mechanism) Scheme, 1993 as amended by the Issue of Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds and Ordinary Shares (Through Depository Receipt Mechanism) (.Amendment) Scheme — II, 2002.

AIV-3

The foregoing restriction is expressly agreed to preclude the undersigned from engaging in any hedging or other transaction which is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a sale or disposition of the Undersigned’s Shares even if such Shares would be disposed of by someone other than the undersigned. Such prohibited hedging or other transactions would include without limitation any short sale or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including without limitation any put or call option) with respect to any of the Undersigned’s Shares or with respect to any security that includes, relates to, or derives any significant part of its value from such Shares.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may transfer the Undersigned’s Shares (i) as a bona fide gift or gifts, provided that the donee or donees thereof agree to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein, (ii) to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned, provided that the trustee of the trust agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein, and provided further that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, or (iii) with the prior written consent of any authorized officer of each of the Representatives. For purposes of this Lock-Up Agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the undersigned is a corporation, the corporation may transfer the capital stock of the Company to any wholly-owned subsidiary of such corporation; provided, however, that in any such case, it shall be a condition to the transfer that the transferee execute an agreement stating that the transferee is receiving and holding such capital stock subject to the provisions of this Agreement and there shall be no further transfer of such capital stock except in accordance with this Agreement, and provided further that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value. The undersigned now has, and. except as contemplated by clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, for the duration of this Lock-Up Agreement will have, good and marketable title to the Undersigned’s Shares, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, and claims whatsoever. The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the Undersigned’s Shares except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

The undersigned understands that the Company and the Underwriters are relying upon this Lock-Up Agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the offering. The undersigned further understands that this Lock-Up Agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives, successors, and assigns.

Very truly yours,
