The word “or” is not exclusive and means “and/or.”

(e) Any reference in this Agreement to a “day” or number of “days” (without the explicit qualification “Business”) is a reference to a calendar day or number of calendar days. If any action or notice is to be taken or given on or by a particular calendar day, and such calendar day is not a Business Day, then such action or notice may be taken or given on the next Business Day.

Section 8.4 Publicity. Except as required by Law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any stock exchange on which any securities of the Company are listed or quoted or any requirement of SEBI or any other Governmental Authority, none of the Parties (nor any of their respective Affiliates) shall, without the prior written consent of the other Parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, make any public announcement or issue any press release with respect to the Transactions. Prior to making any public disclosure required by applicable Law or pursuant to any listing agreement with or the requirement of any stock exchange on which any securities of the Company are listed or quoted or any requirement of SEBI or any other Governmental Authority, the disclosing party shall consult with the other Parties, to the extent feasible, as to the content and timing of such public announcement or press release with respect to the Transactions. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the other Parties, no Party shall, directly or indirectly, disclose or permit the disclosure of, the content of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or any of the terms or conditions regarding the Transactions, except (i) to Representatives of Purchaser or Parent in connection with the Transactions, (ii) to financial institutions, banks and sources of equity whose consent or financing must be obtained for the Transactions, (iii) as may already be in the public domain other than as a result of a breach of this Section 8.4 by any Party and (iv) as

No waiver shall be effective hereunder unless contained in a writing signed by the Party sought to be charged with such waiver. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no failure to exercise, delay in exercising, or single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy by any Party, and no course of dealing between the Parties, shall constitute a waiver of any such right, power or remedy. No waiver by a Party of any default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is for the sole benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person other than the Parties or their respective successors and permitted assigns any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations or Liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement. No assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or obligations hereunder may be made by any Party (by operation of Law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other Parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and any attempted assignment without the required consents shall be void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may, after informing the Sellers in writing, (i) assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any of its Affiliates and (ii) collaterally assign its rights under this Agreement to any Person providing financing related to the transactions contemplated hereby, but in no event shall any such assignment pursuant to this clause (i) and (ii) release Parent or Purchaser from its obligations hereunder.

Section 8.7 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof, or the application of such provision outside of the jurisdiction of such court or to Persons or circumstances other than those as to which it has been held invalid, void or unenforceable, shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby.

Section 8.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement. In addition to any other lawful means of execution or delivery, this Agreement may be executed by facsimile signatures and may be delivered by the exchange of counterparts of signature pages by means of telecopier transmission.

Section 8.9 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the substantive the Laws of the State of New York, regardless of the Laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflict of Laws thereof.

Section 8.10 Specific Performance. Without prejudice to the right of the Parties to pursue other rights in respect of a breach of obligation hereunder, the Parties specifically acknowledge that monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy for violations of this Agreement, and that any Party shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, in addition to any other remedies at Law or in equity that it may have, to enforce this Agreement or prevent any violation hereof and, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and to the extent the party seeking such relief would be entitled on the merits to obtain such relief, each Party waives any objection to the imposition of such relief.

Section 8.11 Arbitration.

(a) Any controversy, claim or dispute arising out of or relating to or in connection with this Agreement, including a dispute regarding the breach, termination, enforceability or validity hereof shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration in London before a panel of three arbitrators. The arbitration shall be administered by the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”) under its Rules of Arbitration in effect at the time of the arbitration (the “Rules”), except as they may be modified herein by agreement of the Parties. The arbitration shall be conducted and the award shall be issued in the English language. Purchaser on the one hand, and the Sellers Agents, on the other hand, shall each nominate one arbitrator in accordance with the Rules. The two party-nominated arbitrators shall nominate a third arbitrator, who shall chair the arbitral tribunal, within thirty (30) days of the confirmation of the appointment of the second arbitrator. At the request of any Party, any arbitrator not timely appointed shall be appointed by the ICC International Court of Arbitration within thirty (30) days of the date of the request. An arbitral tribunal constituted in accordance with this Section 8.11 shall be referred to as a “Tribunal.” The award of the Tribunal shall be final and binding upon the Parties, and shall not be subject to any appeal or review, except in accordance with the Rules and the United Nations Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards, 1958.

(b) Any Party shall have the right to have recourse to and shall be bound by the Pre-Arbitral Referee Procedure of the ICC in accordance with the Rules for a Pre-Arbitral Referee Procedure. Without prejudice to such provisional remedies as may be available under the Pre-Arbitral Referee Procedure, the Tribunal shall have full authority to award damages for the failure of any Party to respect the Tribunal’s orders granting the same relief as the Pre-Arbitral Referee Procedure.

(c) There shall be limited documentary discovery consistent with the expedited nature of arbitration. The Tribunal shall have the authority to award any remedy of relief in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and the Laws of the State of New York including, without limitation, provisional or permanent injunctive relief and specific performance of any obligation created hereunder, except that the Tribunal shall not be empowered to award indirect, consequential, punitive, multiple or exemplary damages, and the Parties hereby waive any right to such damages. Judgment upon the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over any of the Parties or any of their assets.

(d) Each of the Parties hereby submits unconditionally to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of the State of New York for purposes of (i)

enforcing the agreement to arbitrate pursuant to this Section 8.11, (ii) seeking provisional or ancillary remedies and relief in aid of arbitration and (iii) entry of Judgment upon any arbitral award made pursuant hereto, and waives any objection to the venue of any proceeding in any such court or that any such court provides an inconvenient forum and consents to the service of process upon it in connection with any proceeding instituted under this Section 8.11 in the same manner as provided for the giving of notice hereunder.

(e) Each of the Parties participating in an arbitration pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall, subject to the award of the Tribunal, pay an equal share of the arbitrators’ fees and expenses and the fees and expenses of the ICC. The Tribunal shall have the power to award recovery of all costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, administrative fees, arbitrators’ fees and expenses) to the prevailing Party.

(f) In order to facilitate the comprehensive resolution of related disputes, all claims between any of the Parties that arise under or in connection with this Agreement and/or any other Transaction Document may be brought in a single arbitration. Upon the request of any Party to such arbitration, the arbitral tribunal for such proceeding shall consolidate any arbitration proceeding instituted under this Agreement and/or any other Transaction Document with any other arbitration proceeding instituted under this Agreement and/or any other Transaction Document, if such tribunal determines that (i) there are issues of fact or law common to the proceedings so that a consolidated proceeding would be more efficient than separate proceedings and (ii) no Party would be unduly prejudiced as a result of such consolidation through undue delay or otherwise. In the event of different rulings on this question by the Tribunal constituted hereunder and another arbitral tribunal constituted under this Agreement and/or any other Transaction Document, the ruling of the tribunal constituted first in time shall control. Such tribunal shall serve as the tribunal for any consolidated arbitration, unless any Party objects within twenty (20) days of receipt of the order of consolidation, in which case the ICC International Court of Arbitration shall select three (3) new arbitrators for the consolidated arbitration. Any such order of consolidation issued by such tribunal shall be final and binding upon the parties to the arbitrations. The parties to such arbitrations waive any right they have to appeal or to seek interpretation, revision or annulment of such order of consolidation under the Rules or in any court. The Parties agree that upon receipt of such an order of consolidation, they will promptly dismiss any arbitration brought under this Section 8.11 or any other Transaction Document, the subject of which has been consolidated into another arbitral proceeding under this Section 8.11.

(g) The Parties hereby agree to exclude the applicability of Part I of the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996.

Section 8.12 Sellers’ Agent. NB Parties hereby appoint India Newbridge Investments Limited (who may be replaced by the written consent of each of NB Parties with prior notice to Purchaser) (the “NB Agent”), and the PN Parties hereby appoint Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx (who may be replaced by the written consent of each of the PN Parties with prior notice to Purchaser) (the “PN Agent,” and, together with the NB Agent and MX, the “Sellers’ Agents”) as its respective sole representative and attorney-in-fact with power to sign, on its respective behalf, all modifications, amendments, consents, notices and waivers related to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and to act on behalf of it and as the

representative with respect to any matter set forth or related to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. Any action of any Sellers’ Agent shall be evidenced in writing. Subject to the first sentence of this Section 8.12, the appointments and grants of authority and power are coupled with an interest in, and are in consideration of, the mutual covenants made herein. The actions and decisions of each Sellers’ Agent are hereby affirmed, ratified, confirmed and approved by its relevant appointing Seller in all respects. Purchaser shall be entitled to rely exclusively upon any communications or writings given or executed by the relevant Sellers’ Agent and shall not be liable in any manner whatsoever for any action taken or not taken in reliance upon the actions taken or not taken or communications or writings given or executed by such Sellers’ Agent.

Section 8.13 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the other Transaction Documents and the Exhibits and Schedules hereto) constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the Parties with respect to such subject matter hereof; provided, however, that this Agreement shall not supersede the terms and provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall survive and remain in effect until expiration or termination thereof in accordance with its respective term and this Agreement.

Section 8.14 No Joint and Several Liability. The obligations of the Sellers set forth in this Agreement are individual to each Seller and are not joint and several, and no liability shall be attributed to any particular Seller for the breach of any provision of this Agreement by another Seller.
