-
3.2.3. For the purpose of giving effect to this Scheme or to any modifications or amendments or additions thereto, the respective Board of Directors of the Companies may jointly give and are hereby jointly authorised to determine and give all such directions as are necessary including directions for settling or removing any question of doubt or difficulty that may arise and such determination or directions, as the case may be, shall be binding on all the Companies, in the same manner as if the same were specifically incorporated in this Scheme.
-
3.2.4. Notwithstanding anything stated in Clauses 3.2.1., 3.2.2. and 3.2.3. hereinabove, no amendments or changes to the Scheme shall be carried out or be permissible unless and until the same are approved by the Tribunal before which the Companies have filed the petition for sanctioning the Scheme.
-

This Scheme is and shall be conditional upon and subject to:
-
(a) the Transferee Company filing the Scheme with the Stock Exchanges in terms of the SEBI Circular;
-
(b) the Scheme being approved by the respective requisite majorities of the classes of members and creditors (where applicable) of the Companies in accordance with the Act or dispensation having been received from the Tribunal in relation to obtaining such approval from the shareholders and/ or creditors or any Law permitting the respective Companies not to convene the meetings of its shareholders and/or creditors;
-
(c) the Scheme being confirmed/approved by the Tribunal, either on terms as originally approved by the Companies, or subject to such modifications approved by the Tribunal, which shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Companies, each acting reasonably and in good faith;
-
(d) certified copies of the confirmation orders of the Tribunal confirming/sanctioning the Scheme being filed with the RoC by the respective Companies; and
-
(e) approval for transfer of letter of approvals granting the status as Co-Developer to the Sixth Transferor Company for setting up of generation, transmission, distribution of power and related infrastructure facilities on area of 293.8810 hectares in the multi product Special Economic Zone at Mundra, District Kutch, Gujarat including the transfer of approvals for the authorised operations to the Transferee Company from the appropriate authority.

3.4. Dividends
-
3.4.1. The Companies shall be entitled to declare and pay dividends, whether interim and/or final, to their respective shareholders prior to the Effective Date, but only in the ordinary course of business.
-
3.4.2. It is clarified that the aforesaid provisions in respect of declaration of dividends are enabling provisions only and shall not be deemed to confer any right on any shareholder of the respective Companies to demand or claim any dividends which, subject to the provisions of the Act, shall be entirely at the discretion of the respective Boards of Directors of the Companies, and if applicable in accordance with the provisions of the Act, be subject to the approval of the shareholders of the respective Companies.
-
3.5. Interpretation
-
3.5.1. If any terms or provisions of this Scheme are found to be or interpreted to be inconsistent with any provisions of Law at a later date, whether as a result of any amendment of Law or any judicial or executive interpretation or for any other reason whatsoever, the provisions of the Law shall prevail. Subject to obtaining the sanction of the Tribunal, if necessary, this Scheme shall then stand modified to the extent determined necessary to comply with the said provisions. Such modification will, however, not affect other parts of this Scheme. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Scheme, the power to make such amendments/modifications as may become necessary, whether before or after the Effective Date, shall, subject to obtaining the sanction of the Tribunal if necessary, vest with the Board of Directors of the respective Companies, which power shall be exercised reasonably in the best interests of the Companies and their respective shareholders.
3.6. Severability
-
3.6.1. If any part of this Scheme is invalid, ruled illegal by any court of competent jurisdiction, or unenforceable under present or future Law, then it is the intention of the Companies that such part shall be severable from the remainder of the Scheme. Further, if the deletion of such part of this Scheme may cause this Scheme to become materially adverse to the Companies, then in such case the Companies shall attempt to bring about a modification in the Scheme, as will best preserve for the Companies the benefits and obligations of the Scheme, including but not limited to such part.
-
3.6.2. If any part of this Scheme is found to be unworkable for any reason whatsoever, the same shall not, subject to the mutual agreement of the Companies, affect the validity or implementation of the other parts and/or provisions of this Scheme.
-
3.7. No cause of action
-
3.7.1. No third party claiming to have acted or changed its position in anticipation of this Scheme taking effect, shall get any cause of action against the respective Companies or their respective directors or officers, if the Scheme does not take effect or is withdrawn, amended or modified for any reason whatsoever.
3.8. Effect of Non-Receipt of Approvals; Withdrawal
-
3.8.1. In the event of any of the said confirmations/sanctions and approvals not being obtained and/or the Scheme not being confirmed/sanctioned by the Tribunal, the Scheme shall become null and void and the Companies shall bear and pay their respective costs, charges and expenses for and/or in connection with the Scheme.
-
3.8.2. The Companies, acting through their respective Board of Directors, may mutually agree in writing to withdraw this Scheme from the Tribunal.
3.9. Costs and Expenses
- 3.9.1. All costs, duties, levies, charges and expenses payable by the Companies in relation to or in connection with the Scheme and/or incidental to the completion of the Scheme shall be borne and paid by the Transferee Company.
