To the extent a cost or expense incurred by a Party is required to be borne by another Party to this Agreement, such cost or expense shall be paid (or reimbursed) by the Party required to bear such cost and expense to the Party incurring such cost or expense. Payments shall be deemed made when received.

Section 7.2 Treatment of payments made pursuant to Tax Sharing Agreement and Separation and Distribution Agreement.

(a) General. Unless otherwise required by a Final Determination, this Agreement, the Separation and Distribution Agreement, or permitted under Section 1552 of the Code (or applicable state, local or foreign Law), for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, any payment made pursuant to this Agreement and the Separation and Distribution Agreement by:

(i) Mastech to iGATE shall be treated for all Tax purposes as a distribution with respect to stock under Section 301 of the Code occurring immediately before the Distribution;

- 17 -

(ii) iGATE to Mastech shall be treated for all Tax purposes as a tax-free contribution occurring immediately before the Distribution; and

in each case, none of the Parties shall take any position inconsistent with such treatment, except to the extent that a Final Determination with respect to a recipient party causes any such payment to not be so treated. In the event that a Taxing Authority asserts that a Party’s treatment of a payment pursuant to this Agreement or the Separation and Distribution Agreement should be other than as required pursuant to this Agreement or the Separation and Distribution Agreement (ignoring any potential inconsistent or adverse Final Determination), such Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to contest such challenge.

(b) Certain Payments made net of Tax benefits. In calculating amounts payable by a Party to another Party pursuant to this Agreement and the Separation and Distribution Agreement, the amount payable shall be reduced by any Tax Benefit Actually Realized by the Indemnified Party.

(c) Gross-up if payments determined to be taxable upon Final Determination. If, pursuant to a Final Determination, any amount paid by one Party to another Party pursuant to this Agreement or the Separation and Distribution Agreement (or treated as paid by one Party to another Party pursuant to such Final Determination) is treated other than as required under Section 7.2(a) and results in an increase in gross income of the receiving (or deemed receiving) Party, then it shall be assumed that the increase in gross income resulted in an increase in Taxes to the receiving (or deemed receiving) Party and the paying (or deemed paying) Party shall pay to the receiving (or deemed receiving) Party an additional amount equal to the net amount of increased Taxes assumed to be imposed: (i) on the receipt of such payment; and (ii) on the receipt of the payment made pursuant to clause (i) of this sentence and this clause (ii), assuming in each case that the recipient (or deemed recipient) pays Taxes at the highest combined federal, state and local statutory rate.

(d) If, pursuant to a Final Determination, a payment made pursuant to this Agreement or the Separation and Distribution Agreement is treated in a manner other than as required herein, then if such Final Determination also results in a Party or any of its Affiliates being entitled to a net deduction or loss as a result of the Taxes, costs, expenses, or other amount that gave rise to the payment, then such Party shall be required to pay to the other Party the amount of any Tax Benefits Actually Realized in accordance with the principles of Section 7.2(b).

Section 7.3 Treatment of payments made upon the exercise of Options.

A payment of cash or transfer of stock by a Party upon the exercise of iGATE Options or Mastech Options shall be treated for all Tax purposes consistent with the principles of Revenue Ruling 2002-1, C.B. 268 and this Section 7.3(b), and none of the Parties shall take any position inconsistent with such treatment, except to the extent that there is a Final Determination that the Party (or its Subsidiary) of whom such Option Holder is considered an employee for purposes of the Separation and Distribution Agreement is not entitled to a deduction under Section 162 of the

- 18 -

Code with respect to such payment or transfer. In accordance with the foregoing: (i) a payment made by any Party to an Option Holder who is an iGATE Employee or Mastech Employee shall be deducted by the Party (or its Subsidiary) of whom such Option Holder is considered an employee for purposes of the Separation and Distribution Agreement under Section 162 of the Code (and corresponding provisions of state and local Law); (ii) iGATE will advise Mastech as to any taxable income that arises by virtue of such exercise within three (3) Business Days; (iii) to the extent iGATE receives a withholding payment which is required to be remitted by Mastech, iGATE shall immediately, upon receipt of the same, submit such withholding payment to Mastech; and (iv) the Party entitled to the deduction pursuant to (i) shall be responsible for any employer payroll taxes due by virtue of such exercise.

If the general counsels of the Parties (or such other executive officers designated by the relevant Party) are unable to resolve the Dispute within forty-five (45) days from the receipt by a Party of a Dispute Notice, the Dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 12.2(a) or Section 12.2(b) as the case may be.

Section 12.2 Arbitration.

(a) Accounting Disputes. If: (i) the Dispute arises out of the determination of any amount under Section 2.1 (relating to a Pre-Spin Tax Return) or Article III (relating to payment of Taxes and other amounts); or (ii) any other Dispute under this Agreement that the Parties agree should be resolved pursuant to this Section 12.2(a) (each, an “Accounting Dispute”), then, subject to Section 12.1, the Parties shall jointly retain an Independent Firm acceptable to the Parties to resolve the Accounting Dispute. If the Parties cannot agree upon an Independent Firm in accordance with this Section 12.2(a) within ten (10) days from the receipt by a Party of the Dispute Notice relating to such Accounting Dispute, then either Party may request that the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) appoint a partner in an Independent Firm (other than an accounting firm that is then providing auditing services to any Party). The Independent Firm or partner selected by the Parties or the AAA, as the case may be (the “Accounting Arbitrator”), shall act in accordance with the Expedited Procedures of the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules to resolve all points of disagreement, and its decision shall be final and binding upon the

- 24 -

Parties and may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction. Following the decision of the Accounting Arbitrator, the Parties shall each promptly take or cause to be taken any action necessary to implement the decision of such Accounting Arbitrator.

(b) Other Disputes. If a Dispute is not an Accounting Dispute (“Other Dispute”), then, subject to Section 12.1, such Other Dispute shall be determined, at the request of either Party, by arbitration conducted in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in accordance with the then-existing Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA (the “Rules”), except as modified herein. There shall be three arbitrators. Each Party shall appoint one arbitrator within twenty (20) days of receipt by the requesting Party of a copy of the demand for arbitration. The appointed arbitrators shall have twenty (20) days from the appointment of the second arbitrator to agree on a third arbitrator who shall chair the arbitral tribunal. On the request of any Party, any arbitrator not timely appointed by the Parties shall be appointed by the AAA in accordance with the listing, ranking and striking procedure in the Rules, and in any such procedure, each Party shall be given a limited number of strikes, excluding strikes for cause.

(c) Any controversy, concerning whether a Dispute is arbitrable, whether arbitration has been waived, whether a Party to or assignee of this Agreement is bound to arbitrate, or as to the interpretation, applicability or enforceability of this Article XII shall be determined by the arbitrators. In resolving any Dispute, the Parties intend that the arbitrators shall apply applicable Tax Laws and the substantive Laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to any choice of Law principles thereof that would mandate the application of the Laws of another Jurisdiction. The Parties intend that the provisions to arbitrate set forth herein be valid, enforceable and irrevocable, and any award rendered by the arbitrators shall be final and binding on the Parties. The Parties agree to comply and cause the members of their applicable Group to comply with any award made in any such arbitration proceedings and agree to enforcement of or entry of judgment upon such award, in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrators shall be entitled, if appropriate, to award any remedy in such proceedings in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and applicable Law, including monetary damages, specific performance and all other forms of legal and equitable relief; provided, however, the arbitrators shall not be entitled to award punitive, exemplary, treble or any other form of non-compensatory damages unless in connection with indemnification for a third-party claim (and in such a case, only to the extent awarded in such third party claim). Without limiting the provisions of the Rules, unless otherwise agreed in writing by or among the Parties or permitted by this Agreement, the Parties shall keep, and shall cause the members of their applicable Group to keep, confidential all matters relating to the arbitration or the award, and any negotiations, conferences and discussions pursuant to Section 12.1 shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations and the existence of the arbitration, the pleadings submitted therein and the outcome thereof shall be kept confidential by all of the Parties thereto; provided, that such matters may be disclosed: (i) to the extent reasonably necessary in any proceeding brought to enforce the award or for entry of a judgment upon the award; and (ii) to the extent otherwise required by Law or the regulations of any stock exchange. Nothing said or disclosed, nor any document produced, in the course of any negotiations, conferences and discussions that is not otherwise independently discoverable shall be offered or received as evidence or used for impeachment or for any other purpose in any current or future arbitration or litigation. Nothing contained herein is intended to or shall be construed to prevent any Party, from applying to any court of competent jurisdiction for interim measures or other provisional relief in connection with the subject matter of any Disputes.

- 25 -

Without prejudice to such provisional remedies as may be available under the jurisdiction of a court, the arbitral tribunal shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies and to direct the Parties to request that any court modify or vacate any temporary or preliminary relief issued by such court, and to award damages for the failure of any Party to respect the arbitral tribunal’s orders to that effect.

Section 12.3 Continuity of Service and Performance. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Parties will continue to provide service and honor all other commitments under this Agreement during the course of Dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of this Article XII with respect to all matters not subject to such Dispute resolution.

Section 12.4 Costs. Except as otherwise may be provided in this Agreement, the costs of any mediation or arbitration pursuant to this Article XII shall be borne by the losing Party.
