BLOCK TRADE AGREEMENT

Note: This Form assumes that (1) the Company is a “foreign private issuer” (as defined in Rule 405 under the U.S. Securities Act); (2) there is no substantial U.S. market interest (as defined in Regulation S) in the equity securities of the Company; and (3) the Seller is an affiliate of the Company. If any of these assumptions do not apply to the trade at hand, appropriate modifications should be made in preparing the draft Block Trade Agreement. This Form also provides alternative provisions for instances in which the Seller is both an affiliate and a controlling shareholder and/or a board seat; however, appropriate consideration should be given to the extent of due diligence and Company-related representations.

This agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into on the [●] day of [●], [●], at [●],

AMONGST

1. [the broker], [a company incorporated/with a registered branch established] under the laws of India and having its registered office at [address of the broker] (the “Broker”) of the FIRST PART;

AND

2. [the seller], [a company incorporated] under the laws of [jurisdiction of incorporation of the seller] and having its registered office at [address of the broker] (the “Seller”) of the SECOND PART.

In this Agreement, the Broker and the Seller are collectively referred to as the “Parties” and individually as a “Party”.

WHEREAS

A. Pursuant to the documents entered into by the Seller with the Broker for the purpose of opening trading account(s) with the Broker dated [●] (the “Broker Client Agreements”) and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Broker will act as the stock broker for the Seller and facilitate, on a best efforts basis, the sale of up to [●] ordinary shares (the “Shares”) of Rs. [●] each in the capital of [the company] (the “Company”) by way of one or more share sales on the screen-based trading platform of the BSE Limited (the “BSE”) and/or the National Stock Exchange of India Limited (the “NSE”, and together with the BSE, the “Stock Exchanges”).

B. The Shares will be offered and sold (i) outside the United States of America, (the “United States” or “U.S.”) in reliance on Regulation S (“Regulation S”) under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) and (ii) within the United States to persons reasonably believed to be “qualified institutional buyers” (as defined in Rule 144A (“Rule 144A”) under the Act) in reliance on [Rule 144A]/[Section 4] or any other applicable exemption under the Act.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties do hereby agree as follows:

1.1. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Seller agrees as legal and beneficial owner of the Shares, to sell the Shares, free of all liens, charges or other encumbrances and third party rights and together with all dividends, distributions and other benefits attaching to the Shares, and appoints the Broker to the exclusion of all others, as stock broker for the Seller, to facilitate, on a best efforts basis, the sale of the Shares by way of one or more share sales on the screen-based trading platform of the Stock Exchanges at a price per Share not less than [●] or such lower price as may be mutually agreed in writing between the Broker and the Seller (the “Sale Price”) and the Broker agrees to such appointment.

(a) the number of Shares actually sold by the Seller may be less than the total number of Shares on account of sell bids submitted on the Stock Exchanges other than those submitted by the Broker on behalf of the Seller (the shortfall in the number of Shares resulting from such event, the “Sell Bid Slippage”). Accordingly, the Broker shall not be liable in any manner whatsoever to the Seller for any Sell Bid Slippage and in the event of Sell Bid Slippage, the number of Shares which are the subject of this Agreement shall be adjusted accordingly such that it refers to the lesser number of Shares actually sold by the Broker as stock broker for the Seller (with consequential reductions to the aggregate Sale Price and other related amounts referred to in this Agreement); and

The Seller further acknowledges and agrees that, subject to compliance with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and approvals of India and the United States, foreign institutional investors (“FIIs”), including affiliates (as defined in Rule 405 under the Act) (“Affiliates”) of the Broker that are FIIs, may issue, or otherwise deal in, off-shore derivative instruments such as participatory notes, equity linked notes or any other similar instruments against

2.1. The Seller shall sell the Shares on the BSE or the NSE through the Broker acting as stock broker. The execution of the sale of the Shares by the Seller shall occur, at the discretion of the Broker, on the BSE or the NSE on [trade date] (the “Trade Date”).

2.3. The Seller undertakes with the Broker that it will bear and pay any stamp or other duties or taxes on or in connection with the sale, and transfer of the Shares to be sold by the Seller and the execution and delivery of this Agreement and any other tax payable by the Seller in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

2.4. Settlement of the sale and purchase of the Shares shall occur through the clearing system(s) of the BSE or the NSE, as the case may be, and shall take place in accordance with the rules and regulations of the BSE and/or the NSE, as applicable.

3.3. The Seller acknowledges that each of the Broker and, if applicable, its agents may charge a brokerage or other fee to persons purchasing the Shares and that

any such fees may be retained by the Broker or such agents for its/their own account.

4. EXPENSES

4.1. The Seller will be responsible, irrespective of whether the sale of the Shares is consummated, for payment of its own costs and expenses, including its own legal fees and, if applicable, the costs of other professional advisers and any other expenses which it may incur, including but not limited to the filing fees, transaction charges of the Stock Exchanges, service tax, turnover-related fees or taxes, stamp duties, depositary fees, transfer taxes and duties incidental to the sale and delivery of the Shares to the purchasers thereof.
