If required by the Registrar or the Company, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Registrar and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee and any Agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note.

Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Company and will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Registrar in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. All Notes that are purchased, acquired or otherwise redeemed by the Company or the Parent will be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.11. Except as set forth in Section 2.09, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because an Affiliate of the Company or any Guarantor holds the Note; however, Notes held by an Affiliate of the Company or any Guarantor shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of Section 3.07(a).

Section 2.10Temporary Notes.

Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as may reasonably be acceptable to the Registrar. Without unreasonable delay, the Company will prepare and the Trustee will authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.

Holders of temporary Notes will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture.

(a) if the total aggregate principal amount of Rupee Debt issued by the Restricted Subsidiaries and subscribed for or loaned by the Company is less than or equal to 80% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes originally issued (the “Total Mandatory Redemption Threshold”), the Company will be required to redeem all of the Notes then outstanding at the Special Mandatory Redemption Price; and

(b) if the total aggregate principal amount of Rupee Debt Incurred by the Restricted Subsidiaries and subscribed for or loaned by the Company is more than the Total Mandatory Redemption Threshold but less than the aggregate total principal amount of the Notes originally issued, the Company will be required to use the amounts remaining in the Escrow Account to redeem Notes on a pro rata basis at the Special Mandatory Redemption Price.

If any Notes are to be redeemed as set forth above, the Company will issue, or cause to be issued, to the Notes Collateral Agent (with a copy to the Trustee) a notice of Special Mandatory Redemption not later than two Business Days after the SMR Measurement Date and the redemption date shall be no earlier than 30 calendar days and no later than 40 calendar days following the date of such notice.

If, in connection with a redemption of all the Notes, such Certificate of Redemption Calculations reveals that the amount of cash that is available in the Escrow Account is insufficient to pay the Special Mandatory Redemption Price, then the Company shall, within one Business Day after delivery of such certificate to the Notes Collateral Agent, deposit directly into the Escrow Account Bank an amount of cash that, without reinvestment, is equal to the amount of such shortfall (the “Shortfall Amounts”). To the extent that the proceeds realized by the Company from liquidating the Temporary Cash Equivalents are less than the market value thereof as set forth in the Certificate of Redemption Calculations and this gives rise to a shortfall, the Company shall promptly, but in any event within one Business Day deposit cash in an amount that, without reinvestment, is equal to the amount of the Shortfall Amounts.

47

Any notice of redemption pursuant to this Section 3.08 shall be in the form set forth in Section 3.03. The certificate from the Notes Collateral Agent permitting release of the amounts in the Escrow Account to the Paying Agent shall be substantially in the form provided in Exhibit L.

(h) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes and otherpari passuIndebtedness surrendered by Holders thereof exceeds the Offer Amount, the Company will select the Notes and otherpari passuIndebtedness to be purchased in accordance with Section 3.02 based on the principal amount of Notes and such otherpari passuIndebtedness surrendered (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Notes in minimum denominations of US$200,000, and integral multiples of US$1,000 in excess thereof, will be purchased); and

49

(b) any change in, or amendment to, the existing official position regarding the application or interpretation of such statutes, regulations, rulings or official administrative guidance (including a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction),

which change or amendment or official position is announced and becomes effective (i) with respect to the Company, on or after the Original Issue Date, or (ii) with respect to a Surviving Person organized or resident for tax purposes in a jurisdiction that is not the Company’s or a Guarantor’s Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction as of the Original Issue Date, on or after the date such Surviving Person becomes a Surviving Person, with respect to any payment due or to become due under the Notes or the Rupee Debt, as applicable, the Company, the Guarantors, a Surviving Person, or a Restricted Subsidiary that has Incurred Rupee Debt, as the case may be, is, or on the next Interest Payment Date would be, required to pay Additional Amounts (or in the case of a Rupee Debt, the Restricted Subsidiary that is the issuer or borrower of the Rupee Debt would be required to withhold or deduct any taxes, duties, assessments or government charges of whatever nature), and such requirement cannot be avoided by the taking of reasonable measures by the Company, the Guarantors, a Surviving Person or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be;provided that no such notice of redemption will be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company, the Guarantors, a Surviving Person, or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts (or withhold or deduct an amount with respect to any payment on a Rupee Debt) if a payment in respect of the Notes (or on a Rupee Debt) were then due; andprovided further that where any such requirement to pay Additional Amounts (or withhold or deduct an amount with respect to any payment on a Rupee Debt) is due to taxes imposed by India or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, the Company or the Surviving Person will be permitted to redeem the Notes in accordance with the provisions hereof only if the rate of withholding or deduction in respect of which Additional Amounts are required (or in respect of which withholding is required on a Rupee Debt) is in excess of 20% (plus applicable surcharge and cess).

If the Company or any Affiliate of the Company acts as Paying Agent, an installment of principal or interest will be considered paid on the due date only if paid to the Holders.

Anything in this Section 4.01 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other reason, pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or any Paying Agent hereunder, as required by this Section 4.01 and such sums shall be held by the Trustee.

The principal amount of any Indebtedness Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if Incurred in a different currency than the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

Section 4.10Asset Sales.

(a) The Company will not and the Parent will not permit any other Restricted Subsidiary to consummate any Asset Sale, unless:

(1) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a result of such Asset Sale;

64

(2) the consideration received by the Company or such other Restricted Subsidiary is at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets sold or disposed of; and

(3) at least 75% of the consideration received consists of cash, Temporary Cash Equivalents or Replacement Assets (as defined below) or any combination thereof.

For purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed to be cash:

(1) any liabilities, as shown on the most recent combined statement of financial position of the Restricted Group (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary assumption, assignment, novation or similar agreement that irrevocably and unconditionally releases the Company or such other Restricted Subsidiary from further liability; and

(2) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are promptly, but in any event within 30 days of closing, converted by the Company or such other Restricted Subsidiary into cash, to the extent of the cash received in that conversion.

Within 360 days after the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds from an Asset Sale, such Net Cash Proceeds must be applied (a) to repay Senior Indebtedness (and if such Indebtedness is revolving credit Indebtedness, to permanently reduce such commitments) of a Restricted Subsidiary or (b) to make capital expenditures for a Permitted Business, (c) acquire properties and assets (other than current assets) that are used or will be used in a Permitted Business, acquire all, or substantially all of the assets of, or the Capital Stock of, a Person, or a line of business, which is a Permitted Business, or (d) any combination of the foregoing (collectively, “Replacement Assets”);provided that any such reinvestment in Replacement Assets made pursuant to a definitive binding agreement or a commitment approved by the Board of Directors of the Parent or of the Company that is executed or approved within such time will satisfy this requirement, so long as such investment is consummated within 180 days after such 360th day. Pending application in accordance with this covenant, Net Cash Proceeds may be invested or used for any purpose not otherwise prohibited under this Indenture.

Any Net Cash Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested in accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph will constitute “Excess Proceeds”. When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds US$5.0 million, within ten days thereof, the Company must make an offer (an “Excess Proceeds Repurchase Offer”) to purchase the Notes at 100% of the principal amount of the Notes and anypari passu Indebtedness similarly required to be repaid, redeemed or tendered for in connection with the Asset Sale, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to (but not including) the date of purchase. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes andpari passuIndebtedness tendered into such Excess Proceeds Repurchase Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Notes and suchpari passuIndebtedness will be purchased on a pro rata basis. Any remaining proceeds after such Excess Proceeds Repurchase Offer may be used for any purpose not otherwise prohibited under this Indenture. Upon completion of each Excess Proceeds Repurchase Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.

The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in

Section 4.30Government Approvals and Licenses; Compliance with Law.

The Parent will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to (a) obtain and maintain in full force and effect all governmental approvals, authorizations, consents, permits, concessions and licenses as are necessary to engage in the Permitted Businesses; (b) preserve and maintain good and valid title to its

78

properties and assets (includingland-use rights); and (c) comply with all laws, regulations, orders, judgments and decrees of any governmental body, except to the extent that failure so to obtain, maintain, preserve and comply would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on (1) the business or results of operations of the Restricted Group, taken as a whole, or (2) the ability of the Company and any Guarantor to perform its obligations under the Notes, the Note Guarantee or this Indenture.

Section 4.31Currency Indemnity.

(a) The U.S. Dollar is the sole currency of account and payment for all sums payable by the Company and the Guarantors under the Notes and the Note Guarantees (the “Contractual Currency”). Any amount received or recovered in currency other than the Contractual Currency in respect of the Notes or the Note Guarantees (whether as a result of, or of the enforcement of, a judgment or order of a court of any jurisdiction, in the winding up, liquidation or dissolution of any Guarantor, any Subsidiary or otherwise) by the Holder in respect of any sum expressed to be due to it from the Company or any Guarantor will constitute a discharge of the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, only to the extent of the Contractual Currency amount which the recipient is able to purchase with the amount so received or recovered in other currency on the date of that receipt or recovery (or, if it is not possible to make that purchase on that date, on the first date on which it is possible to do so). If that purchased amount is less than the Contractual Currency amount expressed to be due to the recipient under any Note, the Company and the Guarantors will indemnify the recipient against any loss sustained by it as a result. For the purposes of this indemnity, it will be sufficient for the Holder to certify (indicating the sources of information used) that it would have suffered a loss had the actual purchase of Contractual Currency been made with the amount so received in that other currency on the date of receipt or recovery (or, if a purchase of Contractual Currency on such date had not been possible, on the first date on which it would have been possible).

(b) Each of the above indemnities will, to the extent permitted by law:

(1) constitute a separate and independent obligation from the other obligations of the Company or the Guarantors;

(2) give rise to a separate and independent cause of action;

(3) apply irrespective of any waiver granted by any Holder; and

(4) continue in full force and effect despite any other judgment, order, claim or proof for a liquidated amount in respect of any sum due under any Note or any other judgment or order.

Section 4.32Suspension of Certain Covenants

(a) If on any date following the Original Issue Date, the Notes have a rating of Investment Grade from both of the Rating Agencies and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (a “Suspension Event”), then, beginning on that day and continuing until such time, if any, at which the Notes cease to have a rating of Investment Grade from either of the Rating Agencies, the provisions of this Indenture summarized under the following captions will be suspended:

(1) Section 4.07;

79

(2) Section 4.08;                

(3) Section 4.11

(4) Section 4.09;

(5) Section 4.10;

(7) Section 4.20;

(8) Section 4.21;                

(9) clause (4) of Section 5.01(a); and

(b) Such covenants will be reinstated and apply according to their terms as of and from the first day on which a Suspension Event ceases to be in effect (the “Reinstatement Date” and the period of time between the Suspension Event and the Reinstatement Date, the “Suspension Period”). Such covenants will not, however, be of any effect with regard to actions of the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary properly taken in compliance with the provisions of this Indenture during the continuance of the Suspension Event, and following reinstatement:

(1) the calculations under Section 4.07 will be made as if such covenant had been in effect since the Original Issue Date except that no Default will be deemed to have occurred solely by reason of a Restricted Payment made while that covenant was suspended; and

(2) all Indebtedness Incurred during the Suspension Period will be classified to have been incurred pursuant to clause (b)(2) of Section 4.09.

83

Section 6.04Waiver of Past Defaults.

The Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee may on behalf of all the Holders waive all past defaults and rescind and annul a declaration of acceleration and its consequences if:

(a) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived; and

(b) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction.

84

(e) during such60-day period, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with such request.

However, such limitations do not apply to the contractual right of any Holder to bring suit for the enforcement of any such contractual right to payment, on or after the due date expressed in the Notes, which right will not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder.

Section 6.08Collection Suit by Trustee.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium and Additional Amounts if any, and interest remaining unpaid on, the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

Section 9.02With Consent of Holders.

Except as provided in this Section 9.02, this Indenture, the Notes, any Note Guarantee, the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement (if any) may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes), and any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes, any Note Guarantees, the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement (if any) may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes).

100

Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02, the Trustee will join with the Company and the Guarantors (if any) in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its sole discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture.

It is not necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it is sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company will mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver; provided that the foregoing shall not be required if such amendment, supplement or waiver, or such notice, is filed with the SEC. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantees. However, without the consent of each Holder of Notes (including Additional Notes) affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes (including Additional Notes) held by anon-consenting Holder):

(a) reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

(b) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note;

(c) change the redemption date or the redemption price of the Notes from that stated under Section 3.07 or Section 3.10;

(d) reduce the rate of or change the currency or change the time for payment of interest, including default interest, on any Note;

(e) waive a Default or an Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

(f) reduce the amount payable upon a Change of Control Offer or an Excess Proceeds Repurchase Offer or change the time or manner a Change of Control Offer or an Excess Proceeds Repurchase Offer may be made or by which the Notes must be repurchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or an Excess Proceeds Repurchase Offer, in each case after the obligation to make such Change of Control Offer or Excess Proceeds Repurchase Offer has arisen;

101

(g) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders to bring suit for the enforcement of any contractual right to payment, on or after the due date expressed in the Notes;

(h) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note (other than a payment required by Section 4.10 and Section 4.16);

(i) release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee or this Indenture, except as set forth under Section 11.09 and Section 5.01;

(j) release any Collateral from the Lien of this Indenture and the Collateral Documents, except as set forth under Section 10.04; or

(k) make any change in the preceding amendment and waiver provisions.

Section 9.03Supplemental Indenture.

Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes will be set forth in an amended or supplemental indenture.

Section 9.04Revocation and Effect of Consents.

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

Section 9.05Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.

Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note will not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Section 9.06Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

The Trustee will sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee; provided that the Trustee has received an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel pursuant to this Article 9. The Company and any Guarantor may not sign an amended or supplemental indenture until the Board of Directors of the Company and such Guarantor approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee will be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01) will be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 13.03, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

ARTICLE 10

COLLATERAL AND SECURITY

Section 10.01Security.

The Parent shall, for the benefit of the Holders, charge on a first priority basis (subject to the Permitted Liens) the Capital Stock of the Company (the “Pari Passu Collateral” and such fixed share charge, the “Pari Passu Collateral Document”), and the Company shall, for the benefit of the Holders, charge on a first priority basis (subject to the Permitted Liens) funds held in the Escrow Account (the “Notes Collateral”) pursuant to an account charge agreement (the “Notes Collateral Document”). The Pari Passu Collateral and the Notes Collateral together with any additional collateral provided to secure the Notes and prior to any release thereof pursuant to the terms of this Indenture are the “Collateral”. The Pari Passu Collateral Document and the Notes Collateral Document are collectively the “CollateralDocuments”.

The due and punctual payment of the principal of and premium and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Notes when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether on an Interest Payment Date, at maturity, by acceleration, repurchase, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest and Additional Amounts (to the extent permitted by law), if any, on the Notes and performance of all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee under this Indenture and the Notes, according to the terms hereunder or thereunder, are secured as provided in the Collateral Documents which the Company and the Parent, the Trustee, the Note Collateral Agent and the Common Collateral Agent have entered into simultaneously with the execution of this Indenture. Each Holder, by its acceptance of a Note, consents and agrees to the terms of the Collateral Documents (including, without limitation, the provisions providing for foreclosure and release of the Collateral) as the same may be in effect or may be amended from time to time in accordance with its terms and authorizes and directs the Collateral Agents to enter into the Collateral Documents and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance therewith. The Company and the Parent will deliver to the Trustee copies of all documents delivered to the Collateral Agents pursuant to the Collateral Documents, and will do or cause to be done all such acts and things as may be necessary or proper, or as may be required by the provisions of the Collateral Documents, to assure and confirm to the Trustee and the Collateral Agents the security interest in the Collateral contemplated hereby, by the Collateral Documents or any part thereof, as from time to time constituted, so as to render the same available for the security and benefit of this Indenture and of the Notes secured hereby, according to the intent and purposes herein expressed. The Parent will take, upon request of the Trustee, any and all actions reasonably required to cause the Collateral Documents to create and maintain, as security for the obligations of the Company hereunder, a valid and enforceable perfected first priority Lien in and on all the Collateral, in favor of the Collateral Agents for the benefit of the Holders, superior to and prior to the rights of all third Persons and subject to no other Liens than Permitted Liens.

Section 10.02[Reserved].

Section 10.03Priorities of Proceeds from Enforcement of Security.

The first-priority liens over the Notes Collateral will be granted to the Notes Collateral Agent. The Notes Collateral Agent, subject to the Notes Collateral Document and this Indenture, will hold

103

such Liens and security interests in the Notes Collateral granted pursuant to the Notes Collateral Document with sole authority as directed by the written instruction of the Trustee to exercise remedies under the Notes Collateral Document. The Notes Collateral Agent has agreed to act as secured party on behalf of the Holders under the Notes Collateral Document, to follow the instructions provided to it under this Indenture and the Notes Collateral Document and to carry out certain other duties.

The first-priority liens over the Pari Passu Collateral will be granted to the Common Collateral Agent. The Common Collateral Agent will hold such Liens and security interests in the Pari Passu Collateral granted pursuant to the applicable Pari Passu Collateral Document with sole authority as directed by the written instruction of the majority of the secured creditors, as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement, to exercise remedies under the Pari Passu Collateral Document. The Common Collateral Agent has agreed to act as secured party on behalf of the Pari Passu Secured Parties under the Pari Passu Collateral Document, to follow the instructions provided to it under the Intercreditor Agreement and the Pari Passu Collateral Document and to carry out certain other duties.

In addition, the Collateral Agents’ ability to foreclose on the Collateral may be subject to lack of perfection, the consent of third parties, prior Liens and practical problems associated with the realization of the Collateral Agents’ Liens on the Notes Collateral and/or the Pari Passu Collateral, as the case may be. None of the Collateral Agents nor the Trustee, nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys or agents will be responsible or liable for the existence, genuineness, value, adequacy or protection of the Notes Collateral and/or the Pari Passu Collateral, for the legality, enforceability, effectiveness or sufficiency of the Notes Collateral Document or the Pari Passu Collateral Document, for the creation, perfection, priority, sufficiency or protection of any of the Liens, or for any defect or deficiency as to any such matters, or for any failure to demand, collect, foreclose or realize upon or otherwise enforce any of the Liens or the Notes Collateral Document or the Pari Passu Collateral Document, as the case may be, or any delay in doing so.

Each of this Indenture, the Notes Collateral Document and the Pari Passu Collateral Document provides that the Company and the Parent will be jointly and severally responsible for and indemnify the Collateral Agents and the Trustee for all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind imposed against each of the Collateral Agents arising out of the Notes Collateral Document and the Pari Passu Collateral Document except to the extent that any of the foregoing are finally judicially determined to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the relevant Collateral Agent.

(a) All payments received and all amounts held by the Notes Collateral Agent in respect of the Notes Collateral under the Notes Collateral Document will be applied as follows:

first,to the Trustee, the Notes Collateral Agent, the Agents and to the extent necessary to reimburse the Trustee, the Notes Collateral Agent and the Agents for their respective unpaid fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Indenture and the Notes Collateral Document and the collection or distribution of such amounts held or realized or in connection with fees, costs and expenses incurred (including, fees and expenses of legal counsel) in enforcing its remedies under the Notes Collateral Document and preserving the Notes Collateral and all amounts for which the Trustee, the Notes Collateral Agent and the Agents are entitled to indemnification under the Notes Collateral Document and this Indenture;

second, to the Trustee for the benefit of Holders; and

third, any surplus remaining after such payments will be paid to the Company or to whomever may be lawfully entitled thereto.

(b) All payments received and all amounts held by the Common Collateral Agent in respect of the Pari Passu Collateral under the Pari Passu Collateral Document will, in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, be applied as follows:

first,to the Trustee, the Common Collateral Agent, the Agents and to the extent applicable, any representative of holders of any Permitted Pari Passu Secured Indebtedness, to the extent necessary to reimburse the Trustee, the Common Collateral Agent, the Agents and any such representative for any unpaid fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the collection or distribution of such amounts held or realized or in connection with expenses incurred in enforcing its remedies under the Pari Passu Collateral Document and preserving the Pari Passu Collateral and all amounts for which the Trustee, the Common Collateral Agent, the Agents and any such representative are entitled to indemnification under the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement;

second,on a pro rata and pari passu basis to the counterparties under Hedging Obligations Incurred by the Company under Section 4.09(b)(5) of the definition of Permitted Indebtedness;

third,to the Trustee for the benefit of Holders and, to the extent applicable, holders of any Permitted Pari Passu Secured Indebtedness (or their representative) on a pro rata and pari passu basis; and

Section 10.04Release of Collateral.

(a) The Liens created by this Indenture and the Collateral Documents will be released upon (1) the full and final payment and performance of the Obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Notes, (2) legal or covenant defeasance pursuant to Article 8 or discharge of this Indenture in accordance with Article 12 or (3) in the case of the release of the Lien over the Escrow Account, in accordance with Section 4.28.

(b) The Trustee shall, if so requested by the Parent, authorize the Collateral Agents to execute, deliver or acknowledge any necessary or proper instruments of termination, satisfy or release to evidence the release of any Collateral permitted to be released pursuant to this Indenture or the Collateral Documents.

The Common Collateral Agent in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement will distribute all funds distributed under the Collateral Documents in connection with the Pari Passu Collateral and received by the Common Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Permitted Pari Passu Secured Indebtedness creditors and the Holders.

Section 10.05Certificate of the Parent.

For the avoidance of doubt, the release of funds from the Escrow Account is not a release of Collateral notwithstanding that such released funds will not be subject to any security interest under the Notes Collateral Document upon such release from the Escrow Account.

Section 10.06Certificates of the Trustee.

In the event that the Company wishes to release the Collateral in accordance with the Collateral Documents and has delivered the certificates and documents required by the Collateral Documents and Sections 10.04, 10.05 and 10.06 to the Trustee, the Trustee will based on such certification and, if applicable, the Opinion of Counsel delivered pursuant to Section 10.05, will instruct the Collateral Agents to release the Collateral.

106

(b) collect and receive any and all amounts payable in respect of the obligations of the Company hereunder.

Section 11.02Limitation on Liability.

Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder by each Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed by such Guarantor without rendering the Note Guarantee voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance.

Section 11.03Successors and Assigns.

Section 11.04No Waiver.

Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Holders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article 11 shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee and the Holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article 11 at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

Section 11.06Modification.

No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article 11, nor the consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

(b) the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound (other than with respect to the borrowing of funds to be applied concurrently to make the deposit required to effect such satisfaction and discharge or any similar concurrent deposit relating to other Indebtedness, and in each case the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings);

In addition, if such redemption or notice is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice may state that, in the Company’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the redemption date, or by the redemption date so delayed.

(6)MANDATORY REDEMPTION.

If on the SMR Measurement Date any debt of the Restricted Subsidiaries intended to be refinanced with the proceeds of the Notes remains outstanding, the Company will be required to redeem Notes (a “Special Mandatory Redemption”), at a redemption price of 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to (but not including) the redemption date (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Price”) in the circumstances and on the basis set forth below:

(1) if the total aggregate principal amount of Rupee Debt Incurred by the Restricted Subsidiaries and subscribed for or loaned by the Company is less than or equal to 80% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes originally issued (the “Total Mandatory Redemption Threshold”), the Company will be required to redeem all of the Notes then outstanding at the Special Mandatory Redemption Price; and

(2) if the total aggregate principal amount of Rupee Debt Incurred by the Restricted Subsidiaries and subscribed for or loaned by the Company is more than the Total Mandatory Redemption Threshold but less than the aggregate total principal amount of the Notes originally issued, the Company will be required to use the amounts remaining in the Escrow Account to redeem Notes on a pro rata basis at the Special Mandatory Redemption Price.

If any Notes are to be redeemed as set forth above, the Company will issue, or cause to be issued, to the Notes Collateral Agent (with a copy to the Trustee) a notice of Special Mandatory Redemption not later than two Business Days after the SMR Measurement Date and the redemption date shall be no earlier than 30 calendar days and no later than 40 calendar days following the date of such notice.

If, in connection with a redemption of all the Notes, such Certificate of Redemption Calculations reveals that the amount of cash that is available in the Escrow Account is insufficient to pay the Special Mandatory Redemption Price, then the Company shall, within one Business Day after delivery of such certificate to the Notes Collateral Agent, deposit directly into the Escrow Account Bank an amount of cash that, without reinvestment, is equal to the amount of such shortfall (the “Shortfall Amounts”). To the extent that the proceeds realized by the Company from liquidating the Temporary Cash Equivalents are less than the market value thereof as set forth in the Certificate of Redemption Calculations and this gives rise to a shortfall, the Company shall promptly, but in any event within one Business Day deposit cash in an amount that, without reinvestment, is equal to the amount of the Shortfall Amounts.

Any notice of redemption pursuant to this Section 6 shall be in the form set forth in Section 3.03 of the Indenture.

(l) Any successor agent appointed as provided herein shall execute and deliver to its predecessor and to the Company and the Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment (which may be in the form of an acceptance signature to the letter of the Company appointing such agent) and thereupon such successor agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Agent and such predecessor shall pay over to such successor agent all monies or other property at the time held by it hereunder.

Notwithstanding the above, the Company agrees with the Agent that if no successor to such Agent has been appointed by the Company after 30 days from the notice of resignation or removal, such retiring Agent may, on behalf of and at the expense of the Company, itself appoint a successor Agent or the retiring Agent or the Company, or petition any court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of, as its successor Agent.

If such a withholding or deduction is so required, the Agent will not pay an additional amount in respect of that withholding or deduction.

(o) The Agent shall treat all information relating to the Company as confidential, but (unless consent is prohibited by law) the Company consents to the transfer and disclosure by the Agent of any information relating to the Company and the Guarantors to and between branches, subsidiaries, representative offices and affiliates of the Trustee, for confidential use in connection with the provision of any service under this letter and the Indenture.

The obligations of the Company under this paragraph (b) shall survive the payment of the Notes, the termination or expiry of the Indenture or this letter and the resignation or removal of the Representative. Under no circumstances will the Representative be liable to the Company or any other party to this letter or the Indenture for any special, indirect, punitive, consequential loss or damage of any kind (inter alia, being loss of business, goodwill, opportunity or profit), whether or not foreseeable, subject to the Representative having taken due care and reasonable steps for mitigating or minimizing the special, indirect, punitive, consequential loss or damage arising out of a forseeable event.

In the event that the Representative shall be uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder or shall receive instructions, claims or demands from the Company or any other person which, in its opinion, conflict with its rights or obligations under this Agreement, it shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action until it is directed in writing by a final order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

FORM OF OPINION

[●], 201[7][8]

Citicorp International Limited, as Trustee and Notes Collateral Trustee    

[●]

Azure Power Energy Ltd, as Issuer    

[●]

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have been engaged by Azure Power Energy Ltd, a company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of Mauritius (the “Issuer”), to provide certain opinions in connection with the Issuer’s offering of US$500,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 5.50% senior notes due 2022 (the “Notes”). The Notes are governed by the Indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of August 3, 2017, among the Issuer, Azure Power Global Limited and Citicorp International Limited, as trustee. This opinion letter is furnished pursuant to Section 4.14 of the Indenture. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Indenture.    

In arriving at the opinions expressed below we have reviewed the following documents:

(a) an executed copy of the Indenture;

(b) the definitive documentation for the Rupee Debt;

(c) the Currency Hedging Agreements included in the Required Hedging Arrangements (the “Currency Hedges”);

(d) the schedules and confirmations for the Currency Hedges;

(e) the term sheets for the Currency Hedges;

(f) the U.S. Dollar cash flows with respect to the Notes; and

(g) the cash flows with respect to the Rupee Debt.

In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies. In addition, we have assumed and have not verified the accuracy as to factual matters of each document we have reviewed.

Based on the foregoing, it is our opinion that:

1. The Currency Hedging Agreements included in the Required Hedging Arrangements comprise (a) a coupon swap on the interest payments due under the Notes on each Interest Payment Date to fully protect the Issuer against any depreciation in the Indian Rupee to U.S. Dollar occurring after the date of each Incurrence of Original Rupee Debt, and (b) a call spread option on the principal amount of the Notes that will (i) fully protect the Issuer against any depreciation in the Indian Rupee occurring after the date of each Incurrence of Original Rupee Debt if the Indian Rupee to U.S. Dollar spot rate is between the current spot rate in effect on the date of such Incurrence and 90, and (ii) partially protect the Issuer (by receiving the same fixed payment) against any depreciation in the Indian Rupee occurring after the date of each Incurrence of Original Rupee Debt if the Indian Rupee to U.S. Dollar spot rate is above 90, in each case on the payment of principal due under the Notes at maturity.    

2. The Issuer has sufficient contracted cash flows to satisfy all scheduled payment obligations under the Notes and the Required Hedging Arrangements.

We are furnishing this letter to you in connection with the issuance of the Notes. This letter is not to be relied on by or furnished to any other person or used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to for any other purpose. We assume no obligation to advise you, or to make any investigations, as to any factual matters arising subsequent to the date hereof that might affect the opinions expressed herein.    

None of [●] or any of its officers, employees or agents shall be liable to the Holders, any beneficial owners of the Notes, the Trustee, the Notes Collateral Agent or any other person, including for any loss (whether a loss of profit, loss of opportunity or consequential loss), cost, expense or any other damage suffered by any such person, for any errors in calculations or determinations made by it hereunder, or any failure to make, or delay in making, any calculations or determinations (irrespective of whether such error, failure or delay affects any other calculations or determinations made hereunder) or otherwise in acting as Determination Agent. The foregoing does not affect the obligations of the Issuer and [●] pursuant to their separate engagement letter related to the services [●] is providing as Determination Agent.

Very truly yours,

[●]

Schedule 2

Security Enforcement Principles

1. The primary and overriding aim of any enforcement of the Shared Security Interest shall be to achieve the Security Enforcement Objective.

2. Without prejudice to the Security Enforcement Objective, all or substantially all of the proceeds of any enforcement of the Shared Security Interest received by the Common Collateral Agent shall be in cash or cash equivalent investments.

3. Any enforcement of the Shared Security Interest must be prompt and expeditious, it being acknowledged that, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the time frame for the realization of value from any such enforcement will be determined by the Majority Secured Parties, provided that it is consistent with the Security Enforcement Objective.

4. On any proposed enforcement of the Shared Security Interest other than by way of public auction, the Common Collateral Agent shall obtain an opinion from a Financial Adviser:

(i) on the optimal method of enforcing the Shared Security Interest so as to achieve the Security Enforcement Principles and maximize the recovery of such enforcement;

(ii) that the proceeds received from such enforcement are fair from a financial point of view after taking into account all relevant circumstances; and

(iii) that such enforcement is otherwise in accordance with the Security Enforcement Objective.

For these purposes, “Financial Adviser” means an independent, reputable and internationally recognized investment bank, firm of accountants or other professional firm which is regularly engaged in providing valuations of companies similar or comparable to the Issuer.

5. Such opinion will, except in the case of manifest error, be conclusive evidence that the Security Enforcement Objective has been met.
