 9. Adjustments; Dissolution or Liquidation; Merger or Change in Control. 

(a) Adjustments. In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other
property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, or other change in the corporate structure
of the Company affecting the Shares occurs, the Administrator, in order to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, may (in its sole discretion) adjust the number and class

 (b)
Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator will notify each Participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. The
Administrator may provide that any Company repurchase option or forfeiture rights applicable to any Award will lapse 100%, and that any Award vesting will accelerate 100%, provided the proposed dissolution or liquidation takes place at the time and
in the manner contemplated. To the extent it has not vested, an Award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action. 

(c) Merger or Change in Control. In the event of a merger, demerger or Change in Control, each outstanding Award will be assumed or an
equivalent Award substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the Award, the Participant, to the extent an Employee
immediately prior to the merger, demerger or Change in Control, will fully vest in the Award on the date of the merger, demerger or Change in Control, including as to ADSs (or, if applicable, the cash equivalent thereof) which would not otherwise be
vested. For the purposes of this paragraph, an Award will be considered assumed if, following the merger or Change in Control, the award confers the right to purchase or receive, for each ADS (or, if applicable, the cash equivalent thereof) subject
to the Award immediately prior to the merger, demerger or Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the merger or Change in Control by holders of Shares held on the effective date of the
transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the merger, demerger or Change in
Control is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received, for each Share and each unit/right to acquire a Share,
to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the merger, demerger or Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, an Award that vests, is earned or paid-out upon the satisfaction of one or more performance goals will not be considered assumed if the Company or its successor modifies any of such performance goals without the Participant’s consent;
provided, however, a modification to such performance goals only to reflect the successor corporation’s post-merger or post-Change in Control corporate structure will not be deemed to invalidate an otherwise valid Award assumption. 

  
 -8- 

 10. Date of Grant. The date of grant of an Award will be, for all purposes, the date on which the
Administrator makes the determination granting such Award, or such other later date as is determined by the Administrator. Notice of the determination will be provided to each Participant within a reasonable time after the date of such grant. 

11. Term of Plan. Subject to Section 15 of the Plan, the Plan will become effective on 11 June, 2004 (being the Date of Annual General
meeting) It shall continue in effect perpetually, till the RSUs reserved under the Plan are available for grant.

Plan.

(b) Stockholder Approval. The Company will obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with
Applicable Laws. 
 (c) Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan will impair the rights of
any Participant, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Participant and the Company. Termination of the Plan will not affect the Administrator’s
ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Awards granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination. 

13. Conditions Upon Issuance of ADSs. 

(a) Legal Compliance. ADSs will not be issued pursuant to an Award unless the exercise of such Award and the issuance and delivery of
such ADSs (or, if applicable, the cash equivalent thereof) thereunder will comply with Applicable Laws and will be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. Provided that with effect from
April 1, 2007 where the employee is rendering / rendered service in a country other than India during the relevant financial year of the vesting of RSUs, the Exercise Period shall terminate at the end of two months and 15 days from the end of
the financial year in which such RSUs vested or such other period as the local laws mandate.” 
 (b) Investment Representations. As a condition
to the exercise or receipt of an Award, the Company may require the person exercising or receiving such Award to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise or receipt that the ADSs are being purchased only for investment and without any
present intention to sell or distribute such ADSs if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required. 
 © Rights of an Optionee. Unless and until the RSUs have been exercised and the ADSs transferred/allotted to the name of the Employee or holder in accordance with the provisions of the
Companies Act, 1956, the Employee or holder or his/her nominee shall not have any rights whatsoever as a shareholder including rights for receipt of dividend and/or for voting with respect to RSUs granted. 

  
 -9- 

 14. Inability to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from
any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any ADSs hereunder (or, if applicable, the cash equivalent thereof), will relieve the Company of any
liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such ADSs (or, if applicable, the cash equivalent thereof) as to which such requisite authority will not have been obtained. 

14A. Taxation 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan or any agreement under the Plan, where any tax, fringe benefit tax, surcharge,
cess, duty, or other levy (herein after referred to as ‘tax’) is imposed either on the employee including former employee or on the employer or otherwise with reference to occurrence of any event or any time, the Administrator is
authorized to determine the amount of withholding, deduction or recovery, if any, of such tax from the Optionee and also the modalities for recovery. 

15. Stockholder Approval. The Plan will be subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company. Such stockholder approval will be
obtained in the manner and to the degree required under Applicable Laws.
