bought by the Offeree in accordance with the provisions of this Clause. Such sale shall be
only of the entire shareholding of the concerned Shareholder and not of any part of such
shareholding. The Transfer Notice shall state the name and other particulars of such third
party who has made the bona fide offer to purchase Shares held by the Offeror, price at which
the Shares are offered for sale and all terms and conditions of the offer. A Transfer Notice
shall not be revocable except with the sanction of the Offeree. The Transfer Notice shall state
that the offer may be accepted within 20 (Twenty) Business Days of the date of receipt of
Transfer Notice. For the purpose of this Clause an offer shall be deemed to be accepted by an
Offeree on the day on which the acceptance is received by the Offeror within the period
stipulated in the Transfer Notice. The payment of the prescribed price of the Shares offered
for sale and the delivery of such Shares shall take place simultaneously.

10.2. The Offeree shall inform the Offeror of its acceptance of the offer to buy the Offered Shares
or part thereof; provided that the Offeror shall not be obliged to sell the Shares accepted by
the Offerees unless the total acceptances are equal to or more than the Offered Shares. It is
clarified that if the acceptance(s) by the Offeree(s) is for Shares that aggregate to more than
the Offered Shares, the Offered Shares shall be allocated to the Offeree(s) in proportion to
their respective acceptances. Subject to the other provisions in Clauses 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and
13, if the Offeree does not accept the offer of the Offeror within the period specified in Clause
10.1 above, the Offeror shall be entitled to sell the Offered Shares to a third party (not being a
competitor of Company) at a price not lower than that offered to the Offeree and no more
favourable terms than those offered to the Offeree. Provided, however, the Offeror shall
subject to obtaining requisite approvals be obliged to complete the transfer of the Offered
Shares on a spot delivery basis after obtaining all the applicable approvals.
10.3. Any proposed sale to a third party after the expiration of the period referred to above shall
require that the offering Shareholder re-offer the said Shares to the Offeree in accordance
with the procedure specified in this Clause 10.

11. NEW SHAREHOLDERS

The Parties shall procure that no person other than a Shareholder acquires Shares in Company
(whether by transfer or allotment) unless he executes the Deed of Adherence to observe the
terms of this Agreement and, to perform all the obligations of the Offeror/ transferor under
this Agreement and thereupon each such transferee or allottee shall be treated as a
Shareholder for the purposes of this Agreement.

any third party purchaser other than his Associates, and if the remaining Shareholders
(“Minority Shareholders”) elect not to exercise their option to purchase the Transfer Shares
held by the Majority Shareholders in accordance with Clause 10 (Pre-emption Rights) above,
the Majority Shareholders may, in their sole discretion, require the Minority Shareholders to

purchase the Transfer Shares held by the Majority Shareholders in accordance with Clause 10
(Pre-emption Rights) above as well as have not received the Drag Along Notice in accordance
with Clause 12.2, the Minority Shareholders may, in their sole discretion, subject to the
Applicable Law, be entitled to elect to sell and transfer to such third party purchaser all but
not a part of their Shares (“Tag Along Shares”) held by them, pursuant to the provisions of
Clause 13.2 below in this behalf (the “Tag-Along Right”).

Majority Shareholder for Transfer Shares in the Company and on the same terms and
conditions as applicable to Transfer Shares.

13.3. The Majority Shareholders after receiving the Tag-Along Notice, shall not transfer the

simultaneously purchase the Tag-Along Shares and pay to the Minority Shareholders the Tag-
Along Price per Tag-Along Shares. It is expressly clarified and agreed between the Parties
that if for any reason whatsoever, the proposed third party purchaser is unable to acquire the
Tag-Along Shares on the terms set forth in this Clause, the proposed third party purchaser

entitled to sell, transfer, assign, exchange, grant an option to dispose off or alienate in any
manner, directly or indirectly, the Transfer Shares to such third party purchaser at a price no

offered to the Minority Shareholders pursuant to the Tag-Along Right and to no other third
person or party without again following the procedures set forth in Clause 10 (Pre-emption
Right) and this Clause 13 (Tag-Along Rights). Subject to Applicable Law, the transfer shall be

Rights) shall be followed again.
