Seller, from out of the Holdback Amount, a one-time amount equal to 2 (two) times of the difference between the Achieved Turnover
and Projected Turnover (but not in any event, exceeding the Holdback Amount) (“Conditional Consideration”)
in the manner set out in this Clause. It is agreed and understood that in case the Achieved Turnover is less than the Projected
Turnover, then the Purchaser shall not be under any obligation to make any payment to the Seller in terms of Clause 3.1 (iii) read

		2.23	The Parties have agreed that in relation to the Seller Condition Precedent at Paragraph 16 of Part
A of Schedule L, in view of the pandemic caused by Covid-19 and the subsequent national lockdown and travel restrictions, the third
party appointed for conducting environmental testing of the Baddi Facility has been unable to undertake the environmental testing
of the Baddi Facility. The Purchaser has accordingly agreed to waive the requirement of the Parties mutually agreeing on a remediation
plan in case the assessment indicates that there is site and / or watershed water table contamination, subject to the same being
fulfilled as a condition subsequent by July 31, 2020. Both Parties shall co-operate in good faith and provide access to the documents,

delay caused due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the subsequent national lockdown, the Parties have agreed that this Joint Condition
Precedent and the subsequent transfer of the land underlying the Baddi Facility will be fulfilled as a condition subsequent to
the Closing under the Agreement. The Parties shall accordingly waive this requirement of the Joint Condition Precedent and will
execute a manufacturing and operating agreement (“O&M Agreement”) in relation to the Baddi Facility. The
Parties have agreed that this O&M Agreement shall be an Ancillary Agreement under the Agreement. The Parties agree and undertake
that upon receipt of the approval from the Government of Himachal Pradesh for the transfer of the land underlying the Baddi Facility
and the execution of the Deed of Conveyance and the completion of this condition, the Seller shall transfer and convey, and the
Purchaser shall acquire, the Baddi Facility. Since the Baddi Facility forms an integral part of the Business Undertaking, it is
agreed that no additional consideration is required to be paid by the Purchaser for the transfer of the Baddi Facility. The Parties
have accordingly agreed to the following amendments to the various provisions of the BTA:

of the obligation of the Seller in relation to Post Closing Additional Inventory, as set out in the letter agreement dated April
