19. | ARBITRATION |
19.1 | Except to the extent any dispute must be submitted to an expert for determination under any other provision of this Agreement, any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, including any question regarding its existence, validity, breach or termination (including any non-contractual dispute or claim) ("Dispute") shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the London Court of International Arbitration then in force, which rules (the "Rules") are deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Clause 19. |
19.2 | The number of arbitrators shall be three. |
19.3 | The language of the arbitration shall be English. |
19.4 | The claimant (or claimant parties jointly) shall nominate one arbitrator and the respondent (or respondent parties jointly) shall nominate one arbitrator, both within fifteen (15) calendar days after the expiry of the period during which parties can exercise their right to joinder prior to the constitution of the Arbitral Tribunal or intervention. If the claimant or claimant parties and/or the respondent or respondent parties fail to nominate an arbitrator by that deadline, then the parties to the arbitration shall have thirty (30) additional calendar days to agree on a panel of three arbitrators. If they cannot agree by that deadline, all three arbitrators shall be appointed by the LCIA Court in accordance with the Rules. |
19.5 | The seat of the arbitration shall be London, England. The Parties expressly agree that leave to appeal under Section 45 or Section 69 of the English Arbitration Act 1996 may not be sought with respect to any question of law arising in the course of the arbitration or with respect to any award made. |
19.6 | The law of the arbitration agreement (including as to its scope and validity) shall be English law. |
19.7 | The Parties agree that no Proceedings shall be brought in the courts of India under or in connection with this Agreement (including non-contractual claims), save for the purpose of enforcing an arbitral award. The Parties agree that Part I of the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996 shall have no application to any arbitration under this Clause 19 or any such enforcement proceedings. |
19.8 | Subject to Clause 19.7 above, the Parties submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts located in London, England (the "English Courts") to compel arbitration, for any action in aid of arbitration or for interim or provisional remedies in aid of arbitration and for the enforcement of any arbitral award rendered hereunder. The Parties hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waive any right to stay or dismiss any such Proceeding brought before the English Courts on the basis of inappropriate or improper venue. |
19.9 | The Parties agree that the courts of England shall have exclusive jurisdiction with respect to any Proceedings to set aside an arbitral award. This shall not affect the right of any Party to bring Proceedings to enforce an arbitral award in any other court of competent jurisdiction. |
19.10 | Each Party consents to be joined as a party to an arbitration commenced under a Related Agreement on the terms provided by this Clause 19. Each Party also consents to the joinder of any party to a Related Agreement to an arbitration commenced under this Agreement on the terms provided by this Clause 19. |
19.11 | Prior to the constitution of the Arbitral Tribunal in an Existing Dispute, any party to such Existing Dispute may effect joinder by serving notice on any party to this Agreement or a Related Agreement whom it seeks to join, provided that such notice is also sent to all other parties to the Existing Dispute and the LCIA Court within thirty (30) calendar days of service of the Request. The joined party will become a claimant or respondent party (as appropriate) to the Dispute and participate in the arbitrator appointment process in Clause 19.4 above. |
19.12 | After the constitution of the Tribunal in an Existing Dispute, any party to that Existing Dispute may apply to the Tribunal for a Joinder Order and promptly notify all parties to the Existing Dispute and the party it seeks to join of that application. On hearing such application, the Tribunal may, if it considers that (i) there are issues in the arbitration that would make it logical to join such third party, and (ii) no party would be unduly prejudiced as a result of such joinder through undue delay or otherwise, make a Joinder Order. Notice of such Joinder Order must be given to all parties to the Existing Dispute, the joined party and the Registrar. |
19.13 | Each Party agrees to be bound by any award made by the Arbitral Tribunal in an Existing Dispute to which it is joined. |
19.14 | Any joined party may make a counterclaim against any party, provided that: |
19.14.1 | such counterclaim is based upon a Dispute substantially related to the Dispute in the relevant Request for Arbitration; and |
19.14.2 | such counterclaim is made by written notice to the LCIA Court and to all other parties within either thirty (30) calendar days from the receipt by such Party of the relevant Request for Arbitration or such longer time as may be determined by the LCIA Court or the arbitrators. |
19.15 | In this Clause 19, "Related Agreement" shall mean the Transaction Documents. |
19.16 | In order to facilitate the comprehensive resolution of related Disputes, all claims between any of the parties to this Agreement that arise under or in connection with this Agreement and any Related Agreement(s) may be brought in a single arbitration. Each Party consents to the consolidation of an arbitration commenced under this Agreement with an arbitration commenced under a Related Agreement on the terms provided by this Clause 19. |
19.17 | Any party to both a First-filed Dispute and Later Dispute(s) may apply to the Arbitral Tribunal appointed in the First-filed Dispute for a Consolidation Order in relation to any Later Dispute(s). That party must notify all parties to the First-filed Dispute and the Later Dispute of such application. |
19.18 | The Tribunal appointed in relation to the First-filed Dispute may, if it considers that (i) there are issues of fact or law common to the proceedings so that a consolidated proceeding would be more efficient than separate proceedings, and (ii) no party would be unduly prejudiced as a result of such consolidation through undue delay or otherwise, make a Consolidation Order on hearing such application. |
19.19 | If the Arbitral Tribunal of the First-filed Dispute makes a Consolidation Order it will immediately, to the exclusion of other tribunals, have jurisdiction to resolve finally the Later Dispute(s). The parties agree that they will be bound by the Consolidation Order and any subsequent orders and Awards issued in such circumstances. |
19.20 | Notice of the Consolidation Order must be given to any arbitrators already appointed in relation to the Later Dispute(s) and the Registrar. Any appointment of an arbitrator in relation to the Later |
19.21 | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Clause 19, in the event of: |
19.21.1 | the joinder of any member of the Purchaser's Group to an Existing Dispute to which only Seller Group Companies and/or Promoters are parties; or |
19.21.2 | the joinder of any Seller Group Company or a Promoter to an Existing Dispute to which only members of the Purchaser's Group are parties; or |
19.21.3 | a Consolidation Order which would result in a member of the Purchaser's Group becoming a party to an arbitration which prior to consolidation had only Seller Group Companies and/or Promoters as parties; or |
19.21.4 | a Consolidation Order which would result in a Seller Group Company or a Promoter becoming a party to an arbitration which prior to consolidation had only members of the Purchaser's Group as parties, |
19.22 | The Parties agree that in the event of any joinder or consolidation of proceedings, at the application of any Party to the proceedings the LCIA Court shall be requested on behalf of all Parties to fix separate advances on costs in respect of each claim, counterclaim or cross-claim in the proceedings, and the Parties hereby give their consent to any such application. |
19.23 | Any joined party shall be bound by any award rendered by the Arbitral Tribunal even if such party chooses not to participate in the arbitral proceedings. |
19.24 | Except as otherwise provided in Clause 19.21 herein, each of the Parties waives any objection on the basis of a Consolidation Order, Joinder or Joinder Order to the validity and/or enforcement of any award made by the Arbitral Tribunal following any Consolidation Order, Joinder or Joinder Order. For the avoidance of doubt, this includes a waiver of any objection that Joinder or consolidation has resulted in a Party being deprived of the right to play a role in the nomination of arbitrator(s). |
19.25 | For the avoidance of doubt, where an arbitral tribunal is appointed under this Agreement or any Related Agreement, the whole of its award (including any part relating to any Related Agreement) is deemed for the purposes of the New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Arbitral Awards 1958 to be contemplated by this Agreement and that Related Agreement. |
19.26 | The Seller irrevocably appoints Agila Specialties UK Limited as its agent for service of process in connection with any Dispute. If requested by the Purchaser, the Seller will appoint a new agent for |
19.27 | The Purchaser irrevocably appoints Generics (U.K.) Limited as its agent for service of process in connection with any Dispute. The relevant details of Generics (U.K.) Limited are as follows: |
19.28 | The Seller and the Purchaser agree that any document may be effectively served on them in connection with a Dispute in England and Wales by service on that Party's agent. A copy of the document served on an agent shall be sent by post to the relevant Party. Failure or delay in so doing shall not prejudice the effectiveness of the service on such agent. |

19.25 | For the avoidance of doubt, where an arbitral tribunal is appointed under this Agreement or any Related Agreement, the whole of its award (including any part relating to any Related Agreement) is deemed for the purposes of the New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Arbitral Awards 1958 to be contemplated by this Agreement and that Related Agreement. |

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Policy | Fair Value Measurement Fair value is based on the price that would be received from the sale of an identical asset or paid to transfer an identical liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, a fair value hierarchy has been established that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described below:
In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible, as well as considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
New Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued revised accounting guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income in the financial statements. The amended guidance requires an entity to report, in one place, the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income. Reclassifications must be disclosed if the amount being reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. The guidance is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted the guidance for the three months ended March 31, 2013 by presenting additional disclosure in the notes to financial statements (see Note 11). The adoption of the guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows. In December 2011 and January 2013, the FASB issued revised accounting guidance for an entity with particular financial instruments and derivative instruments that offset in accordance with the FASB’s guidance regarding other presentation matters for derivatives and hedging. Under the amendments in this update, an entity with financial instruments that are offset in the financial statements or subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements must disclose the gross amount recognized for the asset/liability, the offsetting amounts, the net amounts presented on the balance sheet and any amounts subject to enforceable master netting arrangements. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Retroactive application is required. The Company adopted the guidance for the three months ended March 31, 2013, and the adoption of the guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows. |
