THIS
NOTE
AND SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is effective as of September 30,
2008, by and between INDIA GLOBALIZATION CAPITAL, INC., a Maryland corporation
(the “Company”) and ____________ (the “Investor”).
1. The
Loans, Notes and
Shares.
1.1 The
Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
the Investor agrees to make a loan (the “Loan”) to the Company in the principal
amount of ______ Dollars ($______,000.00) to be governed by the terms and
conditions of, and repaid in accordance with, this Agreement.
1.2 The
Notes. The Loan made by the Investor pursuant hereto shall be
evidenced by an unsecured promissory note of the Company executed concurrently
herewith in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the
“Note” and together
with each other Note issued pursuant to and in connection
with the terms hereof, the “Notes”).
1.3 The
Shares. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and in
consideration of the Loan, the Company shall issue and sell to the Investor
One
Hundred Thousand (100,000) shares of the Common Stock of the Company (the
“Shares”) for every One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) of the Loan made by the
Investor. The Company will also enter into a Registration Rights
Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the
“Registration
Rights Agreement”) providing for registration rights for the
Shares, the Additional Shares and the Penalty Shares (each as defined below)
(together, the “Total Shares”).
1.4 Closings. The
closing of the purchase and sale of the Notes and the Shares (each such closing,
a “Closing”) will take place at the offices of Seyfarth ▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇.▇., ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇.▇. at such time as the
parties shall mutually agree. Upon the receipt from investors and

Closing”). Following the Initial Closing, and from time-to-time
thereafter until October 31, 2008, the Company may sell to such persons as
the
Company may determine additional Notes, each with a principal amount of at
least
$100,000 or any multiple thereof, and hold additional Closings with respect
thereto (each, a “Subsequent Closing”). Any such sale shall be upon
the same terms and conditions as those contained herein, and such persons or
entities shall become parties to an agreement identical in form and substance
to
this Agreement and shall have the rights and obligations of an Investor
thereunder (all such investors together, the “Investors”). At the
Initial Closing and each Subsequent Closing, the Company will deliver to each
Investor the respective Note and Shares purchased by such Investor, against
receipt by the Company of the respective principal amount of the Note purchased
by such Investor. The Company shall have the right to reject any
investment, in whole or in part, for any reason whatsoever notwithstanding
the
Company’s prior execution hereof, and any funds received for an investment so
rejected shall be returned immediately to the appropriate
Investor. The obligations of the Investors under the Notes are
several and not joint.

the Loan made by the Investor and (ii) the certificate(s) representing the
Shares issued to the Investor as set forth in Section 1.3.
1.6 Issuance
of Additional
Shares and Penalty Shares.
(a) Upon
the
occurrence of an Event of Default under the Note as defined and provided
therein, provided such Event of Default is not cured within thirty (30) days,

consideration, an additional Ten Thousand (10,000) shares of the Common Stock
of
the Company for each One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in principal amount
of the Note held by such Investor (the “Additional Shares”).
(b) If
the
Company fails to file a Registration Statement on or prior to the applicable
Filing Date, or if the Effective Date of a Registration Statement is not on
or
prior to the applicable Effectiveness Date (as each of those terms is defined
in
the Registration Rights Agreement), the Company shall issue and sell to each
of
the Investors, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Registration
Rights Agreement and for no additional consideration, an additional Twenty-Five
Thousand (25,000) shares of the Common Stock of the Company for each One Million
Dollars ($1,000,000) in principal of the Note held by such Investor and, if
the
Effective Date is more than 30 days after such applicable Effectiveness Date,

additional Five Thousand (5,000) shares of the Common Stock of the Company
for
each One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in principal of the Note held by such
Investor and for each subsequent 30-day period that such Registration Statement

all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its
properties and to carry on its business as contemplated to be

and

and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, the Notes and the

of the Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action
on the part of the Company, its officers, directors and
stockholders. Each of the Transaction Documents has been duly
executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming that each of the Transaction
Documents constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the other parties hereto,
each such Transaction Document constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation
of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms,
subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or
other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights and
remedies generally and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles

Shares, if and when issued and delivered in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement for the consideration expressed
herein or therein, as the case may be, will be duly and validly issued, fully

1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), taken as a whole, do not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary
in order to make the statements contained therein not misleading as of the
respective dates of such filings. The Company has timely filed all
reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed
by it with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act,
including material filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act. Since the date that the Company filed its last Form 10-Q with
the SEC, there has been no material adverse change in the assets, business,
or
financial condition of the Company.
2.5 Use
of
Proceeds. All of the proceeds of the Loans will be used for
working capital and general corporate purposes.
2.6 No
Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the
Transaction Documents, and any other document or instrument contemplated
thereby, by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions
contemplated thereby do not and will not: (i) contravene, conflict with, or
result in the violation of any provision of the Company’s charter or bylaws or
any resolution adopted by the Company’s board of directors, (ii) conflict with,
or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or
both
would become a default) under, or give rise to any rights of termination,
amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any material agreement, mortgage,
deed of trust, indenture, note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument
or
obligation to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party, (iii)
create or impose a lien, charge or encumbrance on any property of the Company
or
any of its subsidiaries under any agreement or any commitment to which the
Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any
of
its subsidiaries is bound or by which any of its respective properties or assets
are bound, (iv) result in a material violation of any federal, state, local
or
foreign statute, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment or decree (including

or
any of its subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of the Company or
any
of its subsidiaries are bound or affected or result in a violation of any rules
or regulations of the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”) applicable to the Company
or, if the Company’s shares of Common Stock are no longer listed on AMEX, such
other stock exchange on which shares of the Company’s Common Stock are
principally traded and approved for listing at such time, or (v) require any
consent of any third-party that has not been obtained pursuant to any material
contract to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject or to which
