WHEREAS, the Company and the Initial Subscriber entered into a Subscription Agreement on January 31, 2008 and the Subscribers entered into an Amended and Restated Subscription Agreement, dated as of June 26, 2008 (collectively, the “Original Subscription Agreement”) pursuant to which the Subscribers agreed to purchase warrants of the Company;

WHEREAS, the Company desires to sell an aggregate of 2,024,881 warrants (the “Warrants”) each exercisable for one ordinary share of the Company for a purchase price of $0.80 per Warrant (i.e., an aggregate purchase price of at least $1,619,905); and

WHEREAS, the offer and sale of the Warrants (the “Offering”) is being made in reliance upon the provisions of Regulation S (“Regulation S”) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”);

WHEREAS, Subscribers wish to purchase the Warrants and the Company wishes to accept such subscription.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and Subscribers hereby agree as follows
 
1. Agreement to Subscribe
 
1.1 Purchase and Issuance of the Warrants. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Subscribers hereby agree to purchase from the Company, and the Company hereby agrees to sell to the Subscribers, on the closing date as defined below in section 1.3, the number of Warrants indicated on the signature page hereto by the caption, “Number of Warrants Being Subscribed” (the “Subscriber's Warrants”) which Subscriber’s Warrants will be issued to the Subscribers, or their affiliates or designees. The aggregate purchase price for each Subscriber’s Warrants (the “Purchase Price”) is indicated on the signature page hereto by the caption, “Purchase Price.”
 
1.2 Delivery of the Purchase Price. Upon execution of this Agreement each Subscriber is hereby bound to fulfill its obligations hereunder and hereby irrevocably commits to deliver to the Company on the date of Closing (as hereinafter defined) the Purchase Price by bank check, wire transfer or such other form of payment as shall be acceptable to the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, at the Closing. Any such check delivered to the Company shall be made payable to the order of “IndAS Green Acquisition Corporation.” Company irrevocably commits to deliver into a trust account (the “Trust Account”), maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company the Purchase Price received from this Agreement.

 

 

 

 
1.3 Closing. The closing of the Offering (the “Closing”), shall take place at such place as the parties shall agree immediately prior to the effective date of the registration statement pursuant to which the Company proposes to register its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 5,250,000 units consisting of Ordinary Shares and Warrants (the “Closing Date”). The proceeds of the Offering shall be deposited in the Company’s Trust Account as described in the registration statement for the Company’s IPO (the “Registration Statement”). Upon Closing, each Subscriber’s Warrants shall be deemed to be held in escrow until deposited with the trustee as described in the registration statement for the Company’s IPO.
 
2. Representations and Warranties of the Subscriber
 
Each Subscriber represents and warrants to the Company that:
 
2.1 No Government Recommendation or Approval. The Subscriber understands that no United States federal or state agency or similar agency of any other country has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Company or the Offering of the Warrants or ordinary shares underlying the warrants (the “Warrant Shares”).
 
2.2 Not a “U.S. Person”. The Subscriber is not a “U.S. Person” as defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act, was not organized under the laws of any United States jurisdiction, and was not formed for the purpose of investing in securities not registered under the Securities Act. At the time the purchase order for this transaction was originated, the Subscriber was outside the United States.
 
2.3 Intent. The Subscriber is purchasing the Warrants solely for investment purposes, for the Subscriber's own account and not for the account or benefit of any U.S. person, and not with a view towards the distribution or dissemination thereof and the Subscriber has no present arrangement to sell the Warrants to or through any person or entity. The Subscriber understands that the Warrants must be held indefinitely unless such Warrants are resold in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S, are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration is available.
 
2.4 Restrictions on Transfer. The Subscriber understands that the Warrants are being offered in a transaction not involving a public offering in the United States within the meaning of the Securities Act. The Warrants have not been registered under the Securities Act, and, if in the future the Subscriber decides to offer, resell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Warrants, such Warrants may be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred only: (A) pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act, (B) to a non-U.S. person in an offshore transaction in accordance with Rule 903 or Rule 904 of Regulation S of the Securities Act, (C) pursuant to the resale limitations set forth in Rule 905 of Regulation S, (D) pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided by Rule 144 thereunder (if available) or (E) pursuant to any other exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in each case in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States or any other jurisdiction. The Subscriber acknowledges, agrees and covenants that it will not engage in hedging transactions with regard to the Warrants prior to the expiration of the distribution compliance period specified in Rule 903 of Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act, unless in compliance with the Securities Act. The Subscriber agrees that if any transfer of its Warrants or any interest therein is proposed to be made, as a condition precedent to any such transfer, the Subscriber may be required to deliver to the Company an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company. Absent registration or another exemption from registration, the Subscriber agrees that it will not resell the securities constituting the Subscriber's Warrants to U.S. Persons or within the United States.

2.5 Sophisticated Investor.
 
(i) The Subscriber is sophisticated in financial matters and is able to evaluate the risks and benefits of the investment in the Warrants.
 
(ii) The Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Warrants for an indefinite period of time because none of the Warrants have been registered under the Securities Act and therefore cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available.
 
2.6 Independent Investigation. The Subscriber, in making the decision to purchase the Warrants, has relied upon an independent investigation of the Company and has not relied upon any information or representations made by any third parties or upon any oral or written representations or assurances from the Company, its officers, directors or employees or any other representatives or agents of the Company, other than as set forth in this Agreement and the Warrants. The Subscriber is familiar with the business, operations and financial condition of the Company and has had an opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Company’s officers and directors concerning the Company and the terms and conditions of the offering of the Warrants and has had full access to such other information concerning the Company as the Subscriber has requested.
 
2.7 Authority. This Agreement has been validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Subscriber and is a valid and binding agreement enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the general principles of equity and to bankruptcy or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Subscriber does not and will not conflict with, violate or cause a breach of any agreement, contract or instrument to which the Subscriber is a party.
 
2.8 No Legal Advice from Company. The Subscriber acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other agreements entered into between the parties hereto with the Subscriber's own legal counsel and investment and tax advisors. Except for any statements or representations of the Company made in this Agreement and the other agreements entered into between the parties hereto, the Subscriber is relying solely on such counsel and advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its representatives or agents for legal, tax or investment advice with respect to this investment, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the securities laws of any jurisdiction.
 
2.9 Reliance on Representations and Warranties. The Subscriber understands that the Warrants are being offered and sold to the Subscriber in reliance on exemptions contained in specific provisions of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Subscriber set forth in this Agreement in order to determine the applicability of the exemptions contained in such provisions.  
 
2.10 No Advertisements. The undersigned is not subscribing for the Warrants as a result of or subsequent to any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, or presented at any seminar or meeting.

3.4 No Conflicts. To the knowledge of the Company, the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby do not materially (i) result in a violation of the Company's Memorandum and Articles of Association or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default under any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company is a party.

6. Waiver of Liquidation Distributions
 
In connection with the Warrants purchased pursuant to this Agreement, the Subscribers hereby waive any and all right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any liquidating distributions by the Company in the event of a liquidation of the Company upon the Company's failure to timely complete a Business Combination. For purposes of clarity, in the event the Subscribers purchase ordinary shares in the IPO or in the aftermarket such shares shall be eligible to receive any liquidating distributions by the Company.
 
7. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial
 
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

Each of the parties hereby waives any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction and that such courts represent an inconvenient forum. The parties hereto hereby waive any right to a jury trial in connection with any litigation pursuant to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
 
8. Forfeiture of Warrants.
 
8.1. Failure to Consummate Business Combination. The Warrants shall be forfeited to the Company in the event that the Company does not consummate a business combination within 24 months from the date of the final prospectus relating to the Company’s IPO or in the event that the Company’s shareholders approve an extension of the period of time to consummate a business combination by an additional 12 months, within 36 months from the date of the final prospectus.

8.2. Termination of Rights as Holder; Escrow. If the Warrants are forfeited in accordance with this Section 8, then after such time the Subscriber (or successor in interest) shall no longer have any rights as a holder of such Warrants, and the Company shall take such action as is appropriate to cancel such Warrants. To effectuate the foregoing, all certificates representing the Warrants shall be held in escrow as provided in Section 5 hereof. In addition, Subscriber hereby irrevocably grants the Company a limited power of attorney for the purpose of effectuating the foregoing.

9. Registration Rights.

The Subscribers shall have registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement, dated the Closing Date, to be entered into by and among the Company and the investors listed on the signature page thereof simultaneously with the Closing.

10. Warrant Agreement

The Subscribers agree that, except as provided herein, the Warrants shall be governed by that certain Warrant Agreement between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.
 
11. Rescission Right Waiver and Indemnification.
 
11.1.  Each Subscriber understands and acknowledges an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act requires there be no general solicitation of purchasers of the Warrants. In this regard, if the IPO were deemed to be a general solicitation with respect to the Warrants, the offer and sale of such Warrants may not be exempt from registration and, if not, each Subscriber may have a right to rescind its purchase of the Warrants. In order to facilitate the completion of the Offering and in order to protect the Company, its shareholders and the Trust Account from claims that may adversely affect the Company or the interests of its shareholders, each Subscriber hereby agrees to waive, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any claims, right to sue or rights in law or arbitration, as the case may be, to seek rescission of its purchase of the Warrants. Each Subscriber acknowledges and agrees this waiver is being made in order to induce the Company to sell the Warrants to such Subscriber. Each Subscriber agrees the foregoing waiver of rescission rights shall apply to any and all known or unknown actions, causes of action, suits, claims or proceedings (collectively, “Claims”) and related losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, whether compensatory, consequential or exemplary, and expenses in connection therewith, including reasonable attorneys’ and expert witness fees and disbursements and all other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any Claims, whether pending or threatened, in connection with any present or future actual or asserted right to rescind the purchase of the Warrants hereunder or relating to the purchase of the Warrants and the transactions contemplated hereby.

11.2. Each Subscriber agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever in connection with its purchase of the Warrants or any Claim that may arise now or in the future.
 
11.3. Each Subscriber acknowledges and agrees the shareholders of the Company and the underwriters of the Company’s IPO are and shall be third-party beneficiaries of the foregoing provisions of this Agreement.
 
11.4.  Each Subscriber agrees that to the extent any waiver of rights under this Section 9 is ineffective as a matter of law, such Subscriber has offered such waiver for the benefit of the Company as an equitable right that shall survive any statutory disqualification or bar that applies to a legal right. Each Subscriber acknowledges the receipt and sufficiency of consideration received from the Company hereunder in this regard.
 
12. Terms of the Warrant

The Warrants are substantially identical to the warrants included in the units offered in the IPO, except: (i) they will not have a claim to the funds held in the Trust Account, (ii) they will be placed in escrow and not released before, except in limited circumstances, the consummation of a Business Combination as more fully described in Section 5, (iii) they are being purchased in a private placement pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and will become freely tradable only after they are registered pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be entered on or before the date of the final prospectus relating to the Company’s IPO, (iv) they will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by Subscriber (or any of its permitted assigns), (v) they are exercisable (a) on a “cashless” basis if held by the Subscriber or its permitted assigns and (b) may not be sold, assigned or transferred until the consummation of a Business Combination, (vi) they will not have rights to any liquidation distribution, and (vii) they may be exercised in the absence of an effective registration statement covering the Warrant Shares. In the event that Company fails to consummate a business combination the Warrants will expire worthless. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Warrant exercise.
