REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE PURCHASER

The Purchaser represents and warrants, as of the date hereof and as at Closing, to each Seller as follows:

Section 3.1 Authorization of Agreement. The Purchaser has the power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, and all action necessary on the part of the Purchaser to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transaction has been duly and validly taken. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Purchaser. Assuming this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Sellers, this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except as limited by the Enforceability Exceptions.


Section 3.2 Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement does not and will not (a) violate, conflict with, or result in the breach, acceleration, default or termination of, or otherwise give any other contracting party the right to terminate, accelerate, modify or cancel any of the terms, provisions, or conditions of the organizational documents of the Purchaser or any material agreement or instrument to which the Purchaser is a party or by which it or its assets may be bound, or (b) constitute a violation of any material Law applicable to the Purchaser, subject to compliance with Section 4.1(b).

Section 3.3 Investment Experience. The Purchaser is a sophisticated investor that (a) has the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with the purchase of the Shares hereunder, (b) has such knowledge and experience in financial, tax and business matters to enable the Purchaser to evaluate the merits and risks associated with the purchase of the Shares hereunder and to make an informed investment decision with respect thereto, (c) is able to bear the risk of an entire loss of its investment in the Shares (d) has adequate information concerning the Shares, (e) has conducted, to the extent it deemed necessary, an independent investigation and exercised its own due diligence of such matters as, in its judgment, is necessary for it to make an informed investment decision with respect to the Shares and the purchase of the Shares hereunder and (f) has not relied on any factual representations, analysis or opinions of any Seller or its Representatives [***] in evaluating the risks and the suitability of the proposed investment for its purposes and in deciding to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Purchaser has reviewed with its own tax advisors the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of its investment in the Shares and the Transaction. The Purchaser is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of any Seller or any of their respective agents[***]. The Purchaser understands that it (and not any Seller) shall be responsible for the Purchaser's own tax liability that may arise as a result of its investment in the Shares and the Transaction.

Section 3.4 No General Solicitation, etc. The Purchaser acknowledges that it was not introduced to the Sellers either directly or indirectly through any of its Representatives by means of a general solicitation or advertising relating to the sale of the Shares.

Section 3.5 No View to Distribution; Accredited Investor.

The Purchaser is an "accredited investor" as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or qualified under any state security Laws ("Blue Sky Laws"), and may not be sold, pledged or otherwise transferred by the Purchaser without compliance with the registration provisions of the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Shares are being transferred hereby under an exemption or exemptions from the registration and qualification requirements of the Securities Act and Blue Sky Laws which impose certain restrictions on the Purchaser's ability to transfer the Shares and shall be deemed to have been acquired in a transaction that (i) is not a distribution for purposes of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act and (ii) does not involve any public offering. The Purchaser is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, including without limitation the applicable holding periods thereunder. The Purchaser understands that any resale or other transfer, or attempted resale or other transfer, made other than in compliance with the above-stated restrictions shall not be recognized by the Company and such purported transaction shall be null and void ab initio and shall vest no right in the purported transferee.

Section 3.7 Broker's Fees. The Purchaser has no liability or obligation to pay any fees or commissions to any broker, finder or agent with respect to the Transaction for which any Seller or the Company (or their respective Affiliates) could become liable or obligated.

Section 3.9 Sanctions Matters. The Purchaser is not an entity named on (a) lists promulgated by the United Nations Security Council or its committees pursuant to resolutions issues under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter or (b) the World Bank Listing of Ineligible Firms (see www.worldbank.org/debarr). Neither the Purchaser, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf with respect to the Transaction, has been convicted, indicted or subjected to any similar criminal sanction, by any Governmental Authority, for engaging in money laundering or financing of terrorism or any Sanctionable Practice.

Section 3.10 Solvency. At Closing, the Purchaser has sufficient funds to pay, in cash, the Purchase Price and all other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise necessary to consummate the Transaction in accordance with Sections 1.1 and 1.2. On the date hereof, the Purchaser is Solvent and, at the Closing, will be Solvent.

Section 3.11 Further Acknowledgments. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that:

(a) Representations and Warranties. (i) Other than the representations and warranties contained in Article II, it has not entered into this Agreement nor will it proceed to Closing in reliance of any representation or warranty of either Seller, express or implied nor any communications by either Seller, and none of either Seller, their respective Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or representatives make or have made any representation or warranty, express or implied, at law or in equity, with respect to the Company, the Shares, or the businesses, assets or liabilities of the Company, including as to (x) merchantability or fitness for any particular use or purpose, (y) the operation of the Company's business after Closing or (z) the probable success or profitability of the Company's business after Closing and (ii) none of either Seller, its respective Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or representatives will have or be subject to any liability or indemnification obligation to the Purchaser resulting from any information relating to the Company delivered by (or on behalf of) any Seller to the Purchaser, other than as set forth herein.

(b) Absence of Trust Relationship. Neither Seller is a nominee, agent, steward, representative, fiduciary or constructive trustee of the Purchaser in any capacity during the period between the date of this Agreement and Closing, and the Purchaser shall not be entitled to, any voting, dividend, distribution, allocation of profits, interest, benefit or other right with respect to the Shares during the period between the date of this Agreement and Closing.

Exhibit 5

Issuer Letter Agreement

OMERS Infrastructure Asia Holdings Pte. Ltd.

1 Marina Boulevard, #28-00,
One Marina Boulevard,
Singapore 018989

CONFIDENTIAL

August 5, 2021

This non-disclosure letter agreement (the "Letter Agreement") is between Azure Power Global Limited (the "Company") and OMERS Infrastructure Asia Holdings Pte. Ltd. ("OMERS Asia"), in connection with the appointment of a non-voting observer on the board of directors (the "Board") of the Company and all committees of the Board (the "Board Observer"). This Letter Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions for the Board Observer to participate in meetings of the Board and to receive information in respect of such meetings. 

In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth in this Letter Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company agrees with OMERS Asia the following:

1. Board Observer Rights.

(a) In accordance with the resolutions of the Board, dated July 20, 2021, OMERS Asia may appoint its representative as Board Observer to attend all meetings of  the  Board and any committee of the Board (including telephonic or videoconference meetings of the Board)  in a non-voting, observer capacity; provided that any such representative shall have executed and delivered to the Company a copy of the Acknowledgement and Letter Agreement to be Bound in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Acknowledgement"). 

(b) The Board Observer may participate in discussions of matters brought to the Board (or any committees of the Board), as the case may be, for consideration, but in no event will the Board Observer (i) be deemed to be a member of the Board (or any committees of the Board); (ii) except for (and without limitation of) the obligations expressly set forth in this Letter Agreement and the Acknowledgement, have or be deemed to have, or otherwise be subject to, any duties (fiduciary or otherwise) to the Company or its shareholders; or (iii) have the right to propose or offer any motions or resolutions to the Board or to vote on any motions or resolutions of the Board.  The presence of the Board Observer will not be considered for purposes of establishing a quorum in respect of any meeting of the Board. The Board Observer will not be entitled to any compensation from the Company for its role as observer.

(c) The Company will provide to the Board Observer copies of all materials that it provides to Board members or committee members ("Board Materials"), including all notices, minutes, consents, and exhibits and annexes to any such materials, at the same time and in the same manner as such information is delivered to the Board members or committee members.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company may exclude the Board Observer from access to any Board Materials, meeting or portion thereof if the Board concludes, acting in good faith, that (i) such exclusion is reasonably necessary to preserve the attorney-client or work product privilege between the Company or its affiliate and its counsel (provided, however, that any such exclusion will only apply to such portion of such material or meeting which would be required to preserve such privilege); (ii) such Board Materials or discussion relates to the Company's or its affiliates' relationship, contractual or otherwise, with the OMERS Asia or its affiliates or any actual or potential transactions between or involving the Company or its affiliates and OMERS Asia or its affiliates; or (iii) such exclusion is necessary to avoid a conflict of interest or disclosure that is restricted by any agreement, law or rule to which the Company or any of its affiliates is a party or otherwise bound or subject.


2. Confidential Information.

(a) To the extent that any information obtained by the Board Observer from the Company (or any director, officer, employee or agent thereof) is Confidential Information (as defined below), OMERS Asia will, and will cause the Board Observer to, treat any such Confidential Information as confidential in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in this Section 2.

For greater certainty, neither the Board Observer or OMERS Asia shall be deemed to have disclosed Confidential Information to its, OIMI's or OAC's portfolio companies by virtue of the fact that a director, officer or employee of any such portfolio company also serves as a director, officer or employee of any of them (each, a "Dual Capacity Person"), provided that such Dual Capacity Person does not share Confidential Information with any other director, officer or employee of such portfolio company (other than with other Dual Capacity Persons)

(c) As used in this Letter Agreement, "Confidential Information" means any and all information or data concerning the Company or its subsidiaries, whether in verbal, visual, written, electronic or other form, that is disclosed to the Board Observer in his role as Board Observer by the Company or any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company (including all Board Material that is non-public information), together with all documents derived from the foregoing which may be prepared or created by the Board Observer, OMERS Asia or its Representatives but only to the extent such documents incorporates or is based on Confidential Information; provided, however, that "Confidential Information" will not include information that:

iv. was known by OMERS Asia, any of its affiliates (other than the Company), any of its Representatives, or the Board Observer prior to receipt from the Company or from any director, officer, employee or agent thereof.

(e) OMERS Asia, on behalf of itself and the Board Observer, acknowledges that the Confidential Information is proprietary to the Company and may include trade secrets or other business information the disclosure of which could harm the Company.  None of OMERS Asia its Representatives or the Board Observer will, by virtue of the Company's disclosure of, or such person's use of any Confidential Information, acquire any rights with respect thereto, all of which rights (including intellectual property rights) will remain exclusively with the Company.  OMERS Asia will be responsible for any breach of this Section 2 by the Board Observer or its Representatives.

OMERS Infrastructure Asia Holdings Pte. Ltd.

1 Marina Boulevard, #28-00,
One Marina Boulevard,
Singapore 018989

CONFIDENTIAL

August 5, 2021

This non-disclosure letter agreement (the "Letter Agreement") is between Azure Power India Private Limited (the "Company") and OMERS Infrastructure Asia Holdings Pte. Ltd. ("OMERS Asia"), in connection with the appointment of a non-voting observer on the board of directors (the "Board") of the Company and all committees of the Board (the "Board Observer"). This Letter Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions for the Board Observer to participate in meetings of the Board and to receive information in respect of such meetings. 

In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth in this Letter Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company agrees with OMERS Asia the following:

1. Board Observer Rights.

(a) In accordance with the resolutions of the Board, dated July 20, 2021, OMERS Asia may appoint its representative as Board Observer to attend all meetings of  the  Board and any committee of the Board (including telephonic or videoconference meetings of the Board)  in a non-voting, observer capacity; provided that any such representative shall have executed and delivered to the Company a copy of the Acknowledgement and Letter Agreement to be Bound in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Acknowledgement"). 

(b) The Board Observer may participate in discussions of matters brought to the Board (or any committees of the Board), as the case may be, for consideration, but in no event will the Board Observer (i) be deemed to be a member of the Board (or any committees of the Board); (ii) except for (and without limitation of) the obligations expressly set forth in this Letter Agreement and the Acknowledgement, have or be deemed to have, or otherwise be subject to, any duties (fiduciary or otherwise) to the Company or its shareholders; or (iii) have the right to propose or offer any motions or resolutions to the Board or to vote on any motions or resolutions of the Board.  The presence of the Board Observer will not be considered for purposes of establishing a quorum in respect of any meeting of the Board.

(c) The Company will provide to the Board Observer copies of all materials that it provides to Board members or committee members ("Board Materials"), including all notices, minutes, consents, and exhibits and annexes to any such materials, at the same time and in the same manner as such information is delivered to the Board members or committee members.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company may exclude the Board Observer from access to any Board Materials, meeting or portion thereof if the Board concludes, acting in good faith, that (i) such exclusion is reasonably necessary to preserve the attorney-client or work product privilege between the Company or its affiliate and its counsel (provided, however, that any such exclusion will only apply to such portion of such material or meeting which would be required to preserve such privilege); (ii) such Board Materials or discussion relates to the Company's or its affiliates' relationship, contractual or otherwise, with the OMERS Asia or its affiliates or any actual or potential transactions between or involving the Company or its affiliates and OMERS Asia or its affiliates; or (iii) such exclusion is necessary to avoid a conflict of interest or disclosure that is restricted by any agreement, law or rule to which the Company or any of its affiliates is a party or otherwise bound or subject.


2. Confidential Information.

(a) To the extent that any information obtained by the Board Observer from the Company (or any director, officer, employee or agent thereof) is Confidential Information (as defined below), OMERS Asia will, and will cause the Board Observer to, treat any such Confidential Information as confidential in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in this Section 2.

(c) As used in this Letter Agreement, "Confidential Information" means any and all information or data concerning the Company or its subsidiaries, whether in verbal, visual, written, electronic or other form, that is disclosed to the Board Observer in his role as Board Observer by the Company or any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company (including all Board Material that is non-public information), together with all documents derived from the foregoing which may be prepared or created by the Board Observer, OMERS Asia or its Representatives but only to the extent such documents incorporates or is based on Confidential Information; provided, however, that "Confidential Information" will not include information that:
