Any interest and other

income resulting from such investment (if any) shall become a part of the Exchange Fund, and any amounts (if any) in excess of the amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.2(b) and Section 4.3(b) shall be promptly returned to Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as determined by Parent in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Paying Agent Agreement.

(iii) For the avoidance of doubt, no interest will be paid or accrued for the benefit of any holder of Eligible Shares on any amount payable upon the surrender of any Eligible Shares.

(i) Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any investments thereof (if any)) that remains unclaimed by the holders of Eligible Shares for one year from and after the Closing Date shall be delivered to Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as determined by Parent. Any holder of Eligible Shares who has not theretofore complied with the procedures, materials and instructions contemplated by this Section 4.2 and any holder of Company RSUs who has not received the applicable Company Equity Payment to be paid by the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 4.3(b) shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation as a general creditor thereof for such payments (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 4.2(f) and Section 4.3(a), as applicable) in respect thereof.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this ARTICLE IV, none of the Surviving Corporation, Parent, the Paying Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former holder of Shares or Company RSUs for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws.

Each of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent (and any of their Affiliates) shall be entitled to (i) deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Shares or Company RSUs such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any other applicable Tax Law, provided that, except as may be required by reason of a change in Law following the date of this Agreement, no such deduction or withholding on the payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration shall be made under the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961, and (ii) request any necessary Tax forms, including Form W-9 or the appropriate series of Form W-8, as applicable, or any similar information, from any Person to whom a payment is required to be made pursuant to this Agreement. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts (x) shall be timely remitted to the applicable Governmental Entity and (y) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Shares or Company RSUs in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. The Parties hereby agree to cooperate to eliminate or reduce any such deduction or withholding.

4.3. Treatment of Equity Awards.

(a) Company RSUs. Except as set forth on Section 4.3(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter, at the Effective Time, (i) any vesting conditions applicable to each Company RSU shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, accelerate in full and (ii) each Company RSU shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and shall only entitle the holder of such Company RSU to receive, without interest, as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time (but in any event no later than five (5) Business Days after the Effective Time) an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Shares subject to such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time by (B) Per Share Merger Consideration, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividend equivalent amounts, less applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment; provided, that with respect to any Company RSUs that constitute nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code and that are not permitted to be paid at the Effective Time without triggering a Tax or penalty under Section 409A of the Code, such payment shall be made at the earliest time permitted under the applicable Stock Plan and award agreement that will not trigger a Tax or penalty under Section 409A of the Code.

(b) Company Equity Payments. Parent shall pay or cause to be paid to the holders of the Company RSUs the amounts contemplated by Section 4.3(a) (the “Company Equity Payments”) through the payroll system of the Surviving Corporation; provided, however, that to the extent the holder of a Company RSU is not and was not at any time during the applicable vesting period a Company Employee, such amounts shall not be paid through the payroll system, but shall be paid by the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 4.2. Parent shall ensure that the Surviving Corporation shall have an amount in cash sufficient to pay all amounts required by the foregoing sentence.

(c) Company Actions. At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company, the Company Board and the Company Compensation Committee, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions that are necessary to effectuate the treatment of Company RSUs set forth in Section 4.3(a). Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall take all actions necessary to ensure that the Company will not at the Effective Time be bound by any Company RSUs or any warrants or other rights or agreements (other than this Agreement) which would entitle any Person, other than Parent and its Subsidiaries, to own any capital stock of the Surviving Corporation. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary to terminate the Stock Plans, such termination to be effective at or before the Effective Time.

4.4. Adjustments to Prevent Dilution.

Representations and Warranties of Parent and Merger Sub

Except as set forth in the corresponding sections of the confidential disclosure letter delivered to the Company by Parent prior to or concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement (the “Parent Disclosure Letter”) (it being agreed that disclosure of any item in any section or subsection of the Parent Disclosure Letter shall be deemed disclosure with respect to any other section or subsection to which the relevance of such item is reasonably apparent on its face), Parent and Merger Sub each hereby represent and warrant to the Company that:

6.1. Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. Each of Parent and its Subsidiaries is a legal entity duly organized, validly existing and, to the extent such concept is applicable, in good standing under the Laws of its respective jurisdiction of organization and has all requisite corporate or similar power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently conducted and is qualified to do business and, to the extent such concept is applicable, is in good standing as a foreign corporation or other legal entity in each jurisdiction where the ownership, leasing or operation of its assets or properties or conduct of its business requires such qualification, except, solely with respect to Parent’s Subsidiaries, as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay or materially impair the ability of Parent or Merger Sub to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Parent has made available to the Company copies of Parent’s and Merger Sub’s Organizational Documents, each as amended, restated or amended and restated to the date of this Agreement, and each as made available to the Company is in full force and effect as of the date of this Agreement.

6.2. Capitalization of Merger Sub.

Merger Sub has not conducted any business and has no assets, liabilities or obligations of any nature, in each case other than those incident to its formation and pursuant to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.3. Corporate Authority. No vote of holders of equity securities of Parent is necessary to approve this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each of Parent and Merger Sub has all requisite corporate or similar power and authority and has taken all corporate or similar action necessary in order to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, subject only to adoption of this Agreement by Parent (as the sole shareholder of Merger Sub). This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each of Parent and Merger Sub and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of Parent and Merger Sub, enforceable against each of Parent and Merger Sub in accordance with its terms, subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Exception.

(b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Parent and Merger Sub do not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not, constitute or result in (i) a conflict, breach or violation of, or a default under, the Organizational Documents of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) with or without notice, lapse of time or both, a breach or violation of, a termination (or right of termination) of or default under, the loss of any benefit under, the creation or acceleration of any obligations under or the creation of an Encumbrance (other than a Permitted Encumbrance) on any of the rights or assets of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to, or require that any consent be obtained with respect to, any Contract not otherwise terminable by the other party thereto on one-hundred eighty (180) days’ or less notice (without penalty) binding upon Parent or any of its Subsidiaries,

or, assuming (solely with respect to performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) compliance with the matters referred to in Section 6.4(a), violate any Law to which Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is subject or (iii) any change in the rights or obligations of any party under any Contract not otherwise terminable by the other party thereto on one-hundred eighty (180) days’ or less notice (without penalty) binding upon Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, except, in the case of clauses (ii) or (iii) of this Section 6.4(b), as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay or materially impair the ability of Parent or Merger Sub to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.5. Litigation.

(a) As of the date of this Agreement, there were no Proceedings pending or, to the Knowledge of Parent, threatened against the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, prevent, materially delay or materially impair the ability of Parent or Merger Sub to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) As of the date of this Agreement, neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to or subject to the provisions of any Order, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay or materially impair the ability of the Company to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.6. Beneficial Ownership of Shares. None of Parent, Merger Sub or their respective “affiliates” or “associates” or, to the Knowledge of Parent, any of its shareholders, is or was an “interested shareholder” (as defined in Section 778 of the MBCA) with respect to the Company prior to the adoption of the Section 782 Exemption Resolution.

6.7. Available Funds. Parent and Merger Sub’s obligations hereunder are not subject to any conditions regarding its or any other Person’s ability to obtain financing for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the payment of all amounts required to be paid in connection therewith, including the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration, Company Equity Payments, the Credit Agreement Payoff Amount or the payment of any related fees and expenses (the “Required Payments”). Parent and Merger Sub will have, prior to the Closing, all funds necessary to enable Parent or Merger Sub, as the case may be, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including payment of the Required Payments. As of the date of this Agreement, assuming the satisfaction of the conditions precedent to Merger Sub’s obligations to effect the Closing hereunder, Parent has cash available together with commitments for financing that will be sufficient for Parent and Merger Sub to pay in full the Required Payments.

6.8. Brokers and Finders. Neither Parent nor any of its directors or employees (including any officers) has employed any broker, finder or investment bank or incurred any liability for any brokerage fees, commissions or finders’ fees in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except that Parent has employed Rothschild & Cie, J.P. Morgan Securities PLC and BNP Paribas Corporate Finance as its financial advisors and there are no arrangements made by and on behalf of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries with any broker, finder or investment bank in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries could have any liability in a circumstance where the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated.

6.9. No Other Representations or Warranties; Non-Reliance. Except for the express written representations and warranties made by Parent and Merger Sub in this Agreement and in any instrument or other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement, none of Parent, Merger Sub or any other Person makes any express or implied representation or warranty with respect to Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates.

(a) No Solicitation. At all times during the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to ARTICLE IX and the Effective Time, except as expressly permitted by this Section 7.2, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective directors, officers and Representatives (who are not directors or officers) to, immediately cease any discussions or negotiations with any Person conducted heretofore with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or proposal that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, terminate access to any physical or electronic dataroom relating to the Company for any such Acquisition Proposal and request the prompt return or destruction of any confidential information provided to any third party in connection with an Acquisition Proposal. At all times during the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to ARTICLE IX and the Effective Time, except as expressly permitted by this Section 7.2, the Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective directors, officers and Representatives (who are not directors or officers) not to, directly or indirectly:

(i) initiate, solicit, induce, cause, propose or purposefully encourage any inquiry with respect to, or the making, submission or announcement of any Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry, proposal or request for information that would reasonably be expected to lead to, or result in, an Acquisition Proposal;

(ii) engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions (in each case, other than to request clarification of an Acquisition Proposal that has already been made for the purposes of assessing whether such Acquisition Proposal is or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal or to notify the applicable Person of the existence of the provisions of this Section 7.2) or negotiations with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry, proposal or request for information that would reasonably be expected to lead to, or result in, an Acquisition Proposal;

(vi) otherwise purposefully facilitate any effort or attempt to make an Acquisition Proposal; or

(vii) agree, authorize or commit to do any of the foregoing.

(b) Exceptions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, but, for the avoidance of doubt, subject to the provisions of Section 7.2(c), prior to the time, but not after, the Requisite Company Vote is obtained, in response to an unsolicited, bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that is made after the date of this Agreement (and in any event only if the Company did not violate Section 7.2 in any material respect with respect to such Person), the Company may, subject to compliance with this Section 7.2(b):

(i) provide information and data concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries and access to the Company and its Subsidiaries’ properties, books and records in response to a request to the Person who made such Acquisition Proposal; provided, that as promptly as practicable (but in any event within twenty-four (24) hours after the provision of such information or data), the Company shall make available to Parent any such information or data concerning the Company or its Subsidiaries that the Company provides to any such Person that was not previously made available to Parent and that, prior to furnishing any such information, the Company receives from the Person making such Acquisition Proposal an executed confidentiality agreement with terms that are at least as restrictive to the other party as the terms in the Confidentiality Agreement are on Parent (it being understood that such confidentiality agreement need not contain a standstill provision or otherwise prohibit the making or amending of an Acquisition Proposal to the extent such Acquisition Proposal is made directly to the Company, but shall not include any restrictions that would reasonably be expected to restrain the Company from satisfying its obligations contemplated by Section 7.2(c) or that would otherwise call for an exclusive right to negotiate with the Company prior to the termination of this Agreement) (any confidentiality agreement satisfying such criteria, a “Permitted Confidentiality Agreement”); and

(ii) engage or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations with any such Person regarding such unsolicited, bona fide written Acquisition Proposal, in each case of clause (i) and this clause (ii) of this Section 7.2(b), if, and only if, prior to taking any action described in clause (i) or this clause (ii) of this Section 7.2(b), the Company Board determines in good faith that (A) based on the information then available and after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel that such Acquisition Proposal either constitutes a Superior Proposal or could reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal and (B) based on the information then available, including the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal and those of this Agreement, failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, that prior to engaging or otherwise participating in any such discussions or negotiations with or furnishing any information to such Person, the Company gives Parent written notice in accordance with Section 7.2(c). The Company acknowledges and agrees that any action that if taken by the Company would be a breach of this Section 7.2 is taken by (x) a director or officer of the Company or (y) investment bankers or financial advisors retained by the Company, such action shall be deemed to constitute a breach of this Section 7.2 by the Company.

(c) Notice of Acquisition Proposals. The Company shall promptly (but, in any event, within twenty-four (24) hours) give notice to Parent if (i) any inquiries, proposals or offers with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or which could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal are received by, (ii) any non-public information or data concerning the Company or its Subsidiaries is requested in connection with any Acquisition Proposal from, or (iii) any discussions or negotiations relating to an Acquisition Proposal are sought to be engaged in or continued with, it, its Subsidiaries or any of its or any of their respective Representatives, setting forth in such notice a summary of the material terms and conditions with respect to any such proposal or offer and a summary of the material content of any such inquiry, as applicable, and thereafter shall keep Parent reasonably informed, on a prompt basis of the status and material terms and conditions of any such Acquisition Proposals or requests (including any amendments, modifications or supplements thereto, within twenty-four (24) hours following receipt thereof) and the status of any such discussions or negotiations. The Company agrees that it shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, enter into any confidentiality agreement subsequent to the date hereof that prohibits the Company from providing to Parent such material terms and conditions and other information.

(d) No Change of Recommendation.

(i) Except as permitted by Section 7.2(d)(ii) and Section 7.2(e), the Company Board, including any committee thereof, shall not:

(A) withhold, withdraw, qualify, amend or modify (or publicly propose or resolve to withhold, withdraw, qualify, amend or modify) the Company Recommendation with respect to the Merger in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub;

(B) fail to include the Company Recommendation in the Proxy Statement;

(C) approve or recommend, or propose publicly to approve or recommend any Acquisition Proposal or proposal reasonably expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal or approve or recommend, or publicly declare advisable or publicly propose to enter into, or enter into, any Alternative Acquisition Agreement;

(D) except as expressly permitted by, and after compliance with, Section 7.2(d)(ii) and Section 9.3(b), cause or permit the Company to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement; or

(E) agree, authorize or commit to do any of the foregoing.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, prior to the time the Requisite Company Vote is obtained, the Company Board may (A) effect a Change of Recommendation if (x)(1) an unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board determines in good faith is bona fide and that did not arise from or in connection with a breach of the obligations set forth in this Section 7.2 is received by the Company and is not withdrawn, and the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and its financial advisor, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal or (2) an Intervening Event has occurred, and (y) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and its financial advisor, that failure to effect a Change of Recommendation would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law or (B) take action to terminate this Agreement pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 9.3(b) to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to an unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board determines in good faith is bona fide and that did not arise from or in connection with a breach of the obligations set forth in this Section 7.2 and that the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and its financial advisor, that (1) such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and (2) failure to effect a Change of Recommendation would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, however, that a Change of Recommendation or action to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.3(b) may not be made (i) unless the Company shall have complied in all material respects with its obligations under this Section 7.2(d) and (ii) unless and until the Company has given Parent written notice of such action four (4) Business Days in advance (an “Initial Notice”), setting forth in writing that the Company Board intends to consider whether to take such action, the reasons with respect thereto and (I) in the case of a Superior Proposal, the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal and (II) in the case of an Intervening Event, a reasonable description of such Intervening Event (it being agreed that, in each case, the delivery of such notice by the Company shall not constitute a Change of Recommendation). After giving such Initial Notice and prior to effecting such Change of Recommendation or taking such action to terminate the Agreement pursuant to Section 9.3(b), the Company shall, and shall instruct its legal and financial

advisors to, negotiate in good faith with Parent and its Representatives throughout such four (4) Business Day period (to the extent Parent wishes to negotiate) to make such revisions to the terms of this Agreement such that the failure of the Company Board to effect a Change of Recommendation or to take such action to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.3(b) would no longer be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties. At the end of the four (4) Business Day period, prior to taking action to effect a Change of Recommendation or taking action to terminate the Agreement pursuant to Section 9.3(b), the Company Board shall take into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent in writing and any other information offered by Parent in response to the Initial Notice, and shall have determined in good faith that (A) in the case of a Superior Proposal, the Superior Proposal would continue to constitute a Superior Proposal, and (B) in the case of an Intervening Event, the failure to effect a Change of Recommendation in response to such Intervening Event would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law, in each case, if such changes offered in writing were to be given effect. Any material amendment to any Acquisition Proposal will be deemed to be a new Acquisition Proposal for purposes of this Section 7.2(d) except that the obligation to give advance written notice with respect thereto as set forth in this Section 7.2(d) shall be reduced to three (3) Business Days.

(e) Certain Permitted Disclosure. Nothing set forth in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company from (i) complying with its disclosure obligations under U.S. federal or state Law with regard to an Acquisition Proposal or (ii) making any “stop, look and listen” or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act, and such disclosure and communication shall not constitute a Change of Recommendation; provided, however, that if any such disclosure or communication has the substantive effect of withdrawing, qualifying or modifying the Company Recommendation in a manner adverse to Parent, such disclosure or communication shall constitute a Change of Recommendation unless the Company expressly reaffirms the Company Recommendation in such disclosure or communication.

(f) Standstill Provisions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Company shall be permitted to terminate, amend or otherwise modify, waive or fail to enforce any provision of any such confidentiality, “standstill” or similar agreement if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

Employee was entitled immediately prior to the Effective Time to credit for such service under any similar Company Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time, except for benefit accrual under defined benefit pension plans, for purposes of qualifying for subsidized early retirement benefits or to the extent it would result in a duplication of benefits.

Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall advance all reasonable, documented out-of-pocket expenses as incurred in connection therewith (upon receipt from such Indemnified Party of a request therefor, accompanied by invoices or other relevant documentation) to the fullest extent that the Company would have been permitted to advance such expenses as of the date of this Agreement under applicable Law and the Company’s Organizational Documents; provided, that

any Person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined by final adjudication that such person is not entitled to indemnification; and provided, further, that any determination required to be made with respect to whether an Indemnified Party’s conduct complies with the standards set forth under applicable Law and the Company’s Organizational Documents in effect as of the date of this Agreement shall be made by independent legal counsel selected by the Surviving Corporation and acceptable to the Indemnified Party (such acceptance not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed).

(b) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall and, if the Company is unable to, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation as of the Effective Time to, obtain and fully pay the premium for “tail” insurance policies for the extension of (i) the directors’ and officers’ liability coverage of the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policies, and (ii) the Company’s existing fiduciary liability insurance policies, in each case providing only for Side A coverage for Indemnified Parties where the existing policies also include Side B coverage for the Company for a claims reporting or discovery period of the Tail Period from one or more insurance carriers with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s insurance carrier as of the date of this Agreement with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance (collectively, “D&O Insurance”) with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are at least as favorable to the insureds as the Company’s existing policies with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including in connection with this Agreement or the transactions or actions contemplated by this Agreement); provided, that the Company shall give Parent a reasonable opportunity to participate in the selection of such “tail” insurance policy and the Company shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by Parent with respect thereto. If the Company and the Surviving Corporation for any reason fail to obtain such “tail” insurance policies as of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, continue to maintain in effect for the Tail Period the D&O Insurance in place as of the date of this Agreement with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are at least as favorable to the insureds as provided in the Company’s existing policies as of the date of this Agreement, or the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, purchase comparable D&O Insurance for the Tail Period with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are at least as favorable as provided in the Company’s existing policies as of the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the annual premium of the D&O Insurance exceed during the Tail Period three-hundred percent (300%) of the last annual premium paid by the Company for such purpose; and provided further, that if the cost of such insurance coverage exceeds such amount, the Surviving Corporation shall obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding such amount.

(c) During the Tail Period, all rights to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time and rights to advancement of expenses relating thereto now existing in favor of any Indemnified Party as provided in the Organizational Documents of the Company and its Subsidiaries or any indemnification agreement between such Indemnified Party and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case, as in effect on the date of this Agreement, shall not be amended, restated, amended and restated, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect any right thereunder of any such Indemnified Party.

(d) If Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective legal successors or permitted assigns (i) shall consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving Person of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the legal successors and permitted assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 7.10.

(e) The provisions of this Section 7.10 are intended to be for the benefit of, and from and after the Effective Time shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties, who shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 7.10.

(f) The rights of the Indemnified Parties under this Section 7.10 are in addition to any rights such Indemnified Parties may have under the Organizational Documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or under any applicable Contracts or Laws and nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any of their respective directors, officers or other employees (it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 7.10 is not prior to or in substitution of any such claims under such policies).

7.11. Resignations.

Accordingly, each Party agrees that, in addition to any other available remedies a Party may have in equity or at law, each Party shall be entitled to seek to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement and to obtain or to seek an injunction restraining any breach or violation or threatened breach or violation of the provisions of this Agreement, consistent with the provisions of Section 10.6(a), in the Chosen Courts without necessity of posting a bond or other form of security. In the event that any Proceeding should be brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, no Party shall allege, and each Party hereby waives the defense, that there is an adequate remedy at law.

(b) To the extent any Party brings a Proceeding to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement (other than a Proceeding to specifically enforce any provision that expressly survives termination of this Agreement) when expressly available to such Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Outside Date shall automatically be extended to (i) the twentieth (20th) Business Day following the resolution of such Proceeding, or (ii) such other time period established by the court presiding over such Proceeding.

10.8. Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except (a) from and after the Effective Time, the Indemnified Parties with respect to the provisions of Section 7.10 as provided for therein and (b) from and after the Effective Time, the holders of Shares and the holders of Company RSUs shall be third-party beneficiaries with respect to their respective rights to receive the consideration payable pursuant to ARTICLE IV, the Parties hereby agree that their respective representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Agreement are solely for the benefit of the other, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, confer upon any Person (other than the Parties and those Persons referred to in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 10.8, but only to the extent expressly provided for in this Agreement) or their respective successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns any rights or remedies, express or implied, hereunder, including the right to rely upon the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.8, the Company shall have the

right to recover through an action brought by the Company for itself and on behalf of its shareholders, and Parent shall have the right to recover through an action brought by Parent, damages (which, in the case of an action brought by the Company, shall be determined by reference to the total amount that would have been recoverable by the Company’s shareholders if all such shareholders brought an action against Parent and were recognized as third-party beneficiaries hereunder and which damages Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge are not limited to the Company’s out-of-pocket expenses) from the other Party in the event of an intentional breach of this Agreement or fraud, which right is hereby acknowledged and agreed by the Company, Parent and Merger Sub. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lender Related Parties are third-party beneficiaries of the provisions of this Section 10.8, Section 9.5, Section 10.5 and Section 10.6 (and any related definitions used in those sections) to the extent such provisions expressly pertain to the Lender Related Parties.

10.9. Fulfillment of Obligations. Whenever this Agreement requires an Affiliate of Parent to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of Parent to cause such Affiliate to take such action. Whenever this Agreement requires an Affiliate of the Company to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of the Company to cause such Affiliate to take such action and, after the Effective Time, on the part of the Surviving Corporation to cause such Affiliate to take such action. Any obligation of one Party to any other Party under this Agreement which obligation is performed, satisfied or properly fulfilled by an Affiliate of such Party, shall be deemed to have been performed, satisfied or fulfilled by such Party.

10.10. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns. Except as may be required to satisfy the obligations contemplated by Section 7.9, no Party may assign any of its rights or interests or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other Parties not seeking to assign any of its rights or interests or delegate any of its obligations, except as provided for in Section 10.9, and any attempted or purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Section 10.10 shall be null and void; provided, however, that Parent may designate another Wholly Owned Subsidiary organized under the laws of any State of the United States to be a constituent corporation in lieu of Merger Sub, so long as Parent provides the Company with advance written notice thereof, in which event all references to Merger Sub in this Agreement shall be deemed references to such other Wholly Owned Subsidiary of Parent, except that all representations and warranties made in this Agreement with respect to Merger Sub as of the date of this Agreement shall be deemed representations and warranties made with respect to such other Wholly Owned Subsidiary as of the date of such designation; provided, that (a) any such designation shall not reasonably be expected (in the Company’s reasonable determination) to prevent or materially impede or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise adversely affect the rights of the shareholders of the Company under this Agreement in any material respect and (b) no assignment, delegation or designation shall relieve Parent of any of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement unless the Parties enter into a novation.

10.11. Entire Agreement.

(a) This Agreement (including the Company Disclosure Letter, Parent Disclosure Letter and Exhibits), the Voting Agreement, the Company Disclosure Letter, the Parent Disclosure Letter and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all other prior and contemporaneous agreements, negotiations, understandings, representations and warranties, whether oral or written, with respect to such matters.

(b) In the event of any inconsistency between the statements in the body of this Agreement, on the one hand, and the Exhibits, the Company Disclosure Letter and the Parent Disclosure Letter (other than an exception expressly set forth in the Company Disclosure Letter or the Parent Disclosure Letter (as the case may be)), on the other hand, the statements in the body of this Agreement shall control.

10.12. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to any Person or any circumstance, is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision to be negotiated by the Parties, each acting reasonably and in good faith, shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be legal, valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such legal, invalid or unenforceable provision, and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability affect the legality, validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application of such provision, in any other jurisdiction.

10.13. Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each such counterpart being deemed to be an original instrument, and all such counterparts shall together constitute the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, email or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective when each Party shall have received one or more counterparts hereof signed by each of the other Parties and unless and until such receipt, this Agreement shall have no effect and no Party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication).

Attachment to Restated Articles of Incorporation of Syntel, Inc.

ARTICLE VII

A director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its shareholders for money damages for any action taken or any failure to take action as a director, except liability for any of the following: (i) the amount of financial benefit received by a director to which he or she is not entitled, (ii) the intentional infliction of harm on the Corporation or the shareholders, (iii) a violation of Section 551 of the Michigan Business Corporation Act (the “Act”), or (iv) an intentional criminal act.

If the Act is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personally liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Act, as so amended. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing paragraph by the shareholders of the Corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification with respect to actions occurring prior to such repeal or modification.

ARTICLE VIII

Directors and officers of the corporation shall be indemnified in connection with any actual or threatened action or proceeding (including civil, criminal, administrative or investigative proceedings) arising out of their service to the corporation or to another organization at the corporation’s request, and shall be paid expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition to the fullest extent permitted by law. Persons who are not directors or officers of the corporation may be similarly indemnified in respect of such service to the extent authorized at any time by the Board of Directors or the Bylaws of the corporation. The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to actions or proceedings commenced after the adoption hereof, whether arising from acts or omissions occurring before or after the adoption hereof, and to persons who have ceased to be directors, officers or employees, and shall inure to the benefit of their heirs, executors and administrators. The right to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred hereunder shall be a contract right which may not be modified retroactively without the written consent of the director or officer and shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses such person may have or to which such person may be entitled.

If a claim under this Article VIII is not paid in full by the corporation with thirty days after a written claim has been received by the corporation, the indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit or in a suit brought by the corporation to recover advances, the indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such claim. In any action brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right hereunder (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking has been tendered to the corporation) it shall be a defense that, and in any action brought by the corporation to recover advances the corporation shall be entitled to recover such advances if, the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Act. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its Board of Directors, a committee of its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its shareholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Act, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its Board of Directors, a committee of its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its shareholders) that the indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to an action brought by the indemnitee or create a presumption that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct. In any action brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right hereunder or by the corporation to recover payments by the corporation of advances, the burden of proof shall be on the corporation.
