	4.1	EXL Holdings (US) shall procure that, except as expressly provided under the Umbrella Agreement, the business of the SPV is confined to the supply of services under the Insurance

	4.2	EXL Holdings (US) shall ensure that the business of the SPV is conducted in accordance with sound and good business practice and, so far as it is reasonably practical to do so, with
the Corporate Social Responsibility Policy set out in schedule 4. EXL Holdings (US) shall not knowingly do any act or thing which is likely to result in the SPV becoming insolvent or unable to pay its debts as and when they fall due provided that
EXL Holdings (US) shall not be in breach of this clause if the principal reason for the insolvency of SPV is the refusal by Client to pay sums properly due from it to EXL Holdings (US) pursuant to the Insurance Services Framework Agreement.

  

	4.3	EXL Holdings (US) shall use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that, at all relevant times, the SPV owns all assets, is entitled to use the same pursuant to leases or hire purchase
agreements and, subject to the following sentence is a party to all contracts reasonably necessary to carry on its business and properly to perform its obligations under the Insurance Services Framework Agreement (Intra-Group- SPV). For the
avoidance of doubt, it is acknowledged by the Parties that certain minor services, such as transportation and catering, may be supplied to the SPV by EXL (India) or any other EXL group company, via EXL Holdings (US).

	4.4	The SPV shall maintain with a well-established and reputable insurer adequate insurance against all risks usually insured against by companies carrying on the same or similar

level of insurance cover maintained by SPV or requires SPV to take out cover in respect of risks not usually insured against by companies carrying on the same or similar business, then the cost of such increased or additional cover shall be passed
on at cost to the Client through the Charges paid by the Client pursuant to the Insurance Services Framework Agreement and the Client shall be liable to pay any profit element thereon calculated in accordance with the principles set out in schedule
3 of that agreement. If any of the tangible assets of the SPV is destroyed, lost or damaged, the SPV shall, where applicable, make an appropriate claim under its insurance policies and use any proceeds from such claim to (as the case may be)

accompanied by all papers to be presented to or discussed at the meeting. The Parties agree that no business shall be transacted at any such meeting except for that specified in the notice of the meeting unless otherwise agreed by all of the
Directors of the SPV. Any of the above requirements in this clause 5.3 may be waived in writing by the Client. The SPV shall send to each of the Directors as soon as practicable after each meeting of the Directors a copy of the minutes of the

 Page 6 

	 	 
director, shall be entitled to notice of meeting of the board of Directors and to attend and vote thereat accordingly, but he shall ipso facto vacate office

SSPA) shall be quorate unless such Nominated Director (or his alternate) is present, either in person or telephonically from another location in India, throughout, unless the Client otherwise agrees in writing in respect of such meeting. If, at any
duly convened meeting of the Directors, the meeting is not so quorate, or during the meeting such a quorum ceases to be present, in each case due to the absence of the Nominated Director (or his alternate), the meeting shall be adjourned to the same

or delegate any of their powers or discretions to, any committee without the prior written consent of the Client.

these clauses shall be construed during this period by reference to the employees, officers or managers of EXL Holdings (US) or any of its subsidiaries (as the case may be) as at that date or during the two year period prior to that date. Nothing in
clauses 13.5.3 and 13.5.4 shall prevent the Client or any Associated Company from entering into a contract of employment with any person referred to in clauses 13.5.3 or 13.5.4 where such person has responded to a bona fide general recruiting
campaign of the Client or such Associated Company which has not been directed specifically at employees of EXL Holdings (US) or its subsidiaries. 

  

	13.9	For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the Umbrella Agreement or any agreement entered into pursuant to it shall be construed as restricting the right of the Client to procure goods
and services from third parties as it determines in its absolute discretion. In particular, but without limitation, the Client shall have the right, exercisable in its sole discretion, to procure services of the same or similar type to those
supplied under the Insurance Services Framework Agreement from any third party.

purposes of branding the physical interior (but not the exterior) of any property during any period during which the SPV is providing services under the Insurance Services Framework Agreement (Intra Group-SPV) from such property and for no other
purpose (the “Trade Mark Licence”). 

  

	14.2	The Trade Mark Licence is personal to the SPV and may not be sub-licensed, assigned or otherwise transferred to any third party, including, but not limited to, EXL Holdings (US) or

Marks pursuant to the Trade Mark Licence. 

  

	14.3	The Trade Mark Licence may be terminated at any time immediately by notice from the Client to the SPV in the event that: 

  

	 	14.3.1 	SPV is in material breach of that licence; 

  

	 	14.3.2 	the Insurance Services Framework Agreement has been terminated by either Party pursuant to its terms (provided that such licence may continue after termination of the Insurance
Services Framework Agreement for so long as SPV continues to provide Services under any Insurance Services Work Order pursuant to clauses 14.5 and 15.5 of that Agreement),

 The SPV shall, at the Client’s request and expense, execute and take all steps reasonably required for the registration or recordal of the Trade Mark
Licence in respect of the Trade Marks. The SPV agrees that any such registration or recordal may be cancelled by the Client on the termination of the Trade Mark Licence and that the SPV will assist the Client so far as is necessary to achieve such
cancellation by executing any necessary documents or doing any necessary acts in connection with it. 
  

	14.5	The SPV undertakes with the Client that: 

  

	 	14.5.1 	it will use the Trade Marks only in compliance with such quality standards as the Client may from time to time reasonably require by written notice to the SPV;

  

	 	14.5.2 	it will only use the Trade Marks in such form as may from time to time be reasonably approved by the Client having regard to the shaping, printing style, colour and quality of
materials used to display the Trade Marks; 

  

	 	14.5.3 	it will not use or seek to register any other trade or service marks which are similar to or substantially similar to or so nearly resemble the Trade Marks as to be likely to cause
deception or confusion; 

  

	 	14.5.4 	 it will where reasonably required by the Client in writing include on documentation and material referred to in clause 14.5.2 a statement that the relevant Trade
Mark is the registered trade mark of the Client or, where the Client is itself a licensee of that Trade Mark, that the relevant Trade Mark is licensed by the Client. (For the avoidance 

  

 Page 14 

	 	 
of doubt, the SPV shall not be required to display the Trade Marks on the exterior of any buildings within which the SPV carries on its operations); and

  

	 	14.5.5 	it will use reasonable endeavours not to use the Trade Marks in a manner which is likely to cause material harm to the goodwill attached to the Trade Marks.

  

	14.6	Infringements of Trade Marks

	 	14.6.2 	any allegation or complaint made by any person that the use by the SPV of the Trade Marks in accordance with this Agreement may be liable to cause deception or confusion to the
public; or 

  

	 	14.6.3 	any other form of attack, charge or claim in respect of the Trade Marks. 

  

	14.7 	The SPV shall not make any admissions in respect of the matters referred to in clause 14.6 other than to the Client. The SPV shall in every case furnish the Client with all
information in its possession relating to such matters which may be reasonably required by the Client. 

  

	14.8 	The Client shall have the right to assume the conduct of all actions and proceedings (whether in its own name or that of the SPV) relating to the Trade Marks and shall bear the
costs and expenses of any such actions and proceedings. Any costs or damages recovered in connection with any such actions or proceedings shall be for the account of the Client.

	2.1	This Agreement is entered into pursuant to the Virtual Shareholders’ Agreement. 

  

	2.2	EXL Holdings (US) warrants to the Client that 9,999 ordinary shares of SPV are owned by EXL (India) and one share is held by Rajiv Kishan Luthra (as nominee of EXL (India)) and that
it can procure the sale of those shares to the Client. 

  

	2.3	EXL Holdings (US) wishes EXL (India) to sell and the Client wishes to buy the Shares on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement. 

  

	3	SALE AND PURCHASE 

  

	3.1	EXL Holdings (US) shall procure the sale by EXL (India) of the Shares as beneficial owner and the Client shall buy the Shares free from any Encumbrance, and together with all rights
now and hereafter attaching or accruing to them and all dividends and distributions declared, made or paid on or after the date of Completion. 

  

	3.2	The Client shall not be obliged to complete the purchase of any of the Shares unless the purchase of all of the Shares is completed simultaneously. However, completion of the
purchase of some of the Shares will not affect the rights of the Client with respect to the others. 

  

	3.3	For so long after Completion as EXL (India) remains the registered holder of any of the Shares, EXL Holdings (US) shall procure that EXL (India) holds them and any distributions,

	4	CONSIDERATION

	 	4.1.1 	the Net Asset Value; and 

  

	 	4.1.2 	 The Final Foregone Profit Element, being an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the management fees, profit element and cost efficiency savings specified in
paragraph 8 of each Insurance Services Work Order (which is in effect at the date of Completion), as derived from Rights Upon Transfer section of Schedule 3, Charging Principles, contained in the Insurance Services Framework Agreement for the
unexpired period of each such Insurance Services Work Order (being the period from the date of Completion up to the date 3 years after the Commencement Date specified in the relevant Insurance Services Work Order). The calculation of Final Foregone
Profit Element for any Insurance Services Work Order will be based on the monthly average of the actual performance related profit percentage achieved by EXL 

  

 3 

	 	 
Holdings (US) in the 12 months up to Completion (“Final Year’s Profit”). For the avoidance of doubt, this means that Client shall pay a Final
Foregone Profit Element equal to 1/12th (one twelfth) of Final Year’s Profit for each month of the unexpired
period of such work order. 

  

	4.2	Not less than 15 Business Days prior to Completion, EXL Holdings (US) shall deliver to the Client a bona fide written estimate of the likely Net Asset Value and Final Foregone
Profit Element as at Completion (“the Provisional Consideration”), whereupon the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to determine the amount of Provisional Consideration to be paid at Completion by the Client pursuant to clause 6.2. If
the parties are unable to agree upon the amount of Provisional Consideration within five Business Days of the receipt by the Client of the aforementioned estimate, then the issue shall be referred to the Independent Accountants for determination in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and, in particular, clauses 4.7 and 4.8 below. 

  

	4.3	The Client shall procure that the Auditors shall determine the Net Asset Value and shall procure the calculation of the Final Foregone Profit Element and deliver to EXL Holdings
(US) a draft statement of the Net Asset Value and the Final Foregone Profit Element as soon as practicable after Completion and, in any event, within 30 Business Days after the date of Completion. Insofar as it relates to NAV, the statement shall be
drawn up from the accounting records of the SPV on a going concern basis in accordance with: 

  

	 	4.3.1 	the accounting policies set out in clause 4.4; 

  

	 	4.3.2 	(to the extent not inconsistent with clause 4.3.1) the accounting policies, estimation techniques and measurement bases used for the preparation of the Accounts; and

  

	 	4.3.3 	(to the extent not inconsistent with clauses 4.3.1 and 4.3.2) US generally accepted accounting principles as at the date of Completion. 

  

	4.4	The policies mentioned in clause 4.3.1 are as follows: 

  

	 	4.4.1 	no value shall be attributed to intangible assets; 

  

	 	4.4.2 	the value attributed to any asset which was acquired by the SPV to replace a destroyed or lost asset shall be the value which would have been attributed to the destroyed or lost
asset had it not been destroyed or lost. 

  

	4.5	EXL Holdings (US) shall be entitled (but not obliged), at its own cost, to undertake (or procure its accountants to undertake) a review of the statement delivered to it under clause
4.3 and the Client shall provide to EXL Holdings (US) and its accountants all reasonable assistance reasonably required by EXL Holdings (US) and/or (as the case may be) its accountants in order to enable EXL Holdings (US) to exercise its rights
under this clause 4. EXL Holdings (US) shall be entitled to notify the Client that it disagrees with the draft statement of NAV and/or the Final Foregone Profit Element, any such notification to give reasons in detail for such disagreement and, if
such review is undertaken by EXL Holdings (US)’s accountants, to be accompanied by a letter from those accountants supporting such disagreement and such reasons. EXL Holdings (US) shall not be entitled to give such notification to the Client at
any time after the date 20 Business Days after delivery to it of the draft statement and following such date EXL Holdings (US) shall in the absence of any prior notification be deemed to have agreed such draft statement in the form delivered to it.

  

	4.6	In the event that a notification of disagreement is given to the Client in accordance with clause 4.5, the Parties shall (in conjunction with the Auditors and (if relevant) EXL
Holdings (US)’s accountants) meet and discuss EXL Holdings (US)’s objections to the draft statement referred to in the notification (and any other matters which are raised by the Client) in order to seek to reach agreement upon such
adjustments (if any) to the draft statement of the NAV and/or the Final Foregone Profit Element as are acceptable to the Parties so as to enable such draft to be finalised. 

  

 4 

	4.7	If the Parties are unable to resolve any differences of views within 15 Business Days following the receipt by the Client of the notification of disagreement pursuant to clause 4.5,
the matters in dispute shall be referred to the Independent Accountants for determination. The Independent Accountants shall act as experts and not as arbitrators and their decision (in the absence of manifest error) shall be final and binding on
the Parties. The fees of the Independent Accountants shall be payable by the Parties in such proportions as the Independent Accountants determine.

	 	4.8.3 	EXL Holdings (US) and/or EXL Holdings (US)’s accountants and the Client and/or the Auditors shall each promptly prepare a written statement setting out their respective
positions on the matters in dispute (“Opening Submissions”) and shall, within 10 Business Days of the appointment of the Independent Accountants, deliver to them two copies of their respective Opening Submissions (together with any
necessary and relevant supporting documentation); 

  

	 	4.8.4 	the Parties shall procure that, upon receipt of both Parties’ Opening Submissions, the Independent Accountants shall arrange for a copy of EXL Holdings (US)’s Opening

	 	4.8.5 	within 10 Business Days of such delivery, the Parties shall each comment in writing on the Opening Submissions and documentation submitted by the other Party (“Submissions in

	4.11	 The determination pursuant to 4.7 of the Net Asset Value or the amount of the Final Foregone Profit Element (as the case may be) shall not adversely affect, limit
or prejudice or constitute a 

  

 5 

	 	 
waiver of any right or remedy of the Client in relation to any claim which it may have against EXL Holdings (US) in respect of any breach of any of the
Warranties or under any of the other provisions of this Agreement. 

  

	4.12	If the aggregate amount and Final Foregone Profit Element, as agreed by the Parties pursuant to clause 4.5 above or determined pursuant to clause 4.7 above is:-

	6.2	On Completion, the Parties will comply with their respective obligations in schedule 2 and the Client shall pay the Provisional Consideration by telegraphic transfer for same day
value to the bank account nominated by EXL Holdings (US) for this purpose. 

  

	6.3	If any of the requirements of schedule 2 (to the extent not previously waived in terms of this Agreement) are not complied with on the date fixed for Completion, the Client may
(without prejudice to its other rights and remedies, including the right to claim damages for the breach): 

  

	 	6.3.1 	defer Completion to a date not more than 30 days after such date (and so that the provisions of this clause 6.3 shall apply to Completion as so deferred); or

  

	 	6.3.2 	proceed to Completion so far as practicable (without prejudice to its rights under this Agreement); or 

  

	 	6.3.3 	rescind this Agreement without liability on its part; or 

  

 6 

	 	6.3.4 	waive all or any of the obligations in question. 

  

	7	WARRANTIES 

  

	7.1	EXL Holdings (US) warrants to the Client in the terms set out in schedule 1 subject as provided in this clause 7 and clause 8 and further that the Warranties shall be true and
accurate in all material respects and fulfilled down to Completion in all material respects as if they had been made or given at Completion (on the basis that references in the Warranties to any fact, matter or thing existing, occurring or having
occurred at or on and/or before or after (and similar terms) the date of this Agreement shall be construed as references to it having so done at or on and/or before or after (and similar terms) the date of Completion). 

  

	7.2	EXL Holdings (US) is aware and acknowledges that the Client has entered into this Agreement in reliance on the Warranties. 

  

	7.3	The Warranties are given subject to any matters fully and fairly disclosed in the disclosure letter which EXL Holdings (US) may deliver to the Client not later than 10 Business Days
after the date of this Agreement, provided that (a) such matters have arisen in the ordinary course of the business of the SPV carried on in all material respects in compliance with the terms of the Virtual Shareholders’ Agreement and the
Agreements (as that expression is defined in the Virtual Shareholders’ Agreement); and (b) the reduction in the value of the assets of the Group, the liabilities or increased liabilities of the Group or the reduction in the value of the Shares
(as the case may be) arising, directly or indirectly, from such matters is less than £100,000. The letter shall be in the form set out in schedule 3. If any matter is disclosed in the letter which, if not disclosed, would have constituted a
material breach of any of the Warranties, the Client may at any time before Completion, by written notice to EXL Holdings (US), rescind this Agreement and none of the Parties shall have any claim against the other in respect of this Agreement except
in relation to any prior breach of this Agreement. 

  

	7.4	The rights and remedies of the Client in respect of any breach of the Warranties shall not be affected by Completion. 

  

	7.5	Each of the Warranties set out in each paragraph of schedule 1 is separate and independent and unless otherwise expressly provided shall not be limited by reference to any other
Warranty or anything in this Agreement. 

  

	7.6	EXL Holdings (US) undertakes (except only as may be necessary to give effect to this Agreement or except with the written consent of the Client) that it will not and will procure
that the SPV will not do, allow or procure any act or omission before Completion which would constitute a material breach of or would be inconsistent in any material respect with any of the Warranties if given at any time prior to Completion. In
addition, EXL Holdings (US) will and will procure that the SPV will provide all reasonable co-operation to the Client to ensure the efficient continuation of operation and management of the SPV and, if necessary, to prepare for the introduction of
new operating and management procedures in readiness for Completion. 

  

	7.7	If in respect of or in connection with any breach of any of the Warranties any sum payable to the Client by EXL Holdings (US) by way of compensation is subject to Taxation, then
such further amount shall be paid to the Client by EXL Holdings (US) so as to secure that the net amount received by the Client is equal to the amount of compensation due to it in respect of such breach. 

  

	8	LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY OF EXL HOLDINGS (US) 

  

	8.1	EXL Holdings (US) shall not be liable in respect of a claim for breach of the Warranties:- 

  

	 	8.1.1 	unless and until the amount that would otherwise be recoverable from it (but for this clause 8.1) in respect of that claim, when aggregated with any other amount or amounts
recoverable in respect of other claims against it, exceeds £100,000; and 

  

 7 

	 	8.1.2 	unless the amount of such claim exceeds £10,000. 

  

	8.2	The total aggregate liability of EXL Holdings (US) in respect of all claims for breach of the Warranties is limited to the lesser of:- 

  

	 	(a)	£5,000,000 (five million pounds sterling); or 

  

	 	(b)	an amount equal to the aggregate of all amounts paid by Client to EXL Holdings (US) by way of Profit Levels as defined in the Service Payments section of Schedule 3 of the Insurance
Services Framework Agreement (but not otherwise) pursuant to the Insurance Services Framework Agreement in the period of three years preceding Completion. 

  

	8.3	EXL Holdings (US) shall not be liable for a claim for breach of the Warranties unless the Client has given EXL Holdings (US) notice of the claim, stating in reasonable detail the
nature of the claim, and if practicable, the amount claimed: 

  

	 	8.3.1 	in respect of a claim for breach of a Warranty relating to Taxation on or before the date which is seven years and one month from the Last Accounting Date; or

  

	 	8.3.2 	in respect of any other claim, on or before the date two months after signature of the Auditors’ report on the accounts of the SPV for the financial year during which
Completion takes place. 

  

	8.4	EXL Holdings (US) shall not have any liability under the Warranties in paragraph 2 of schedule 1 in respect of any Tax levied by a Tax Authority which arises after Completion and
which the Client is reasonably satisfied has not arisen because of a failure by EXL Holdings (US) or the SPV to manage its affairs in the manner of a normally competent business person mindful of the need to mitigate its Tax liabilities both before
and after Completion. 

  

	8.5	EXL Holdings (US) shall not have any liability under the Warranties in respect of any employee litigation which arises after Completion and which the Client is reasonably satisfied
has not arisen because of a failure by EXL Holdings (US) or the SPV to manage its affairs in the manner of a normally competent business person mindful of the need to mitigate the risks of such litigation both before and after Completion.

  

	8.6	EXL Holdings (US) shall not have any liability under the Warranties to the extent that any claim for breach thereunder arises in respect of a matter which was previously drawn to
the Client’s attention by EXL Holdings (US) and the Client has disregarded any advice given by EXL Holdings (US) in respect thereof, by either refusing to sanction an item of reasonable expenditure (including, but not limited to, the carrying
on of additional services pursuant to the Insurance Services Framework Agreement) for which Client would be liable to reimburse EXL Holdings (US)) or else giving instructions to EXL Holdings (US) or the SPV which are contrary to that advice and,
where, had that expenditure been incurred or that advice been followed (as the case may be), either: 

  

	 	8.6.1 	the claim for breach of warranty would not have arisen; or 

  

	 	8.6.2 	the amount of any loss sustained by the Client as a result of any such breach would have been reduced (in which case EXL Holdings (US) shall only be liable to the Client in respect
of such reduced amount). 

  

	8.7	EXL Holdings (US) shall not have any liability under the Warranties to the extent that any claim for breach thereunder arises solely by reason of a change in legislation applicable
to the SPV and which the Client is reasonably satisfied has not arisen because of a failure by EXL Holdings (US) or the SPV to manage its affairs in the manner of a normally competent business person mindful of the need to mitigate the risks of any
such legislative change. 

  

 8
