(“FINRA”).As used herein, a “Debt Repayment Triggering Event” means any event or condition that gives, or with the giving of notice or lapse of time would give, the holder of any note, debenture or other evidence of indebtedness (or any person acting on such holder’s behalf) the right to require the repurchase, redemption or repayment of all or a portion of such indebtedness by the Company or any of the Subsidiaries.

Section 3.16No Material Actions or Proceedings.

Section 3.19Title to Properties. The Company and each of the Subsidiaries have good and marketable title to all of the real and personal property and other assets reflected as owned in the financial statements referred to in Section 3.09 above in each case free and clear of any security interests, mortgages, liens, encumbrances, equities, adverse claims and other defects, except such as do not materially and adversely affect the value of such property and do not materially interfere with the use made or proposed to be made of such property by the Company or such Subsidiary.  The real property, improvements, equipment and personal property held under lease by the Company or any Subsidiary are held under valid and enforceable leases, with such exceptions as are not material and do not materially interfere with the use made or proposed to be made of such real property, improvements, equipment or personal property by the Company or such Subsidiary.

Section 3.20Tax Law Compliance. The Company and the Subsidiaries have filed all necessary federal, state and local and foreign income and franchise tax returns required to be filed through the date hereof and have paid all taxes due thereon and, if due and payable, any related or similar assessment, fine or penalty levied against any of them, except as may be being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings, and no tax deficiency has been determined adversely to the Company or any of the Subsidiaries which has had, nor does the Company have any knowledge of any tax deficiency which, if determined adversely to the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, would reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Change.  The Company has made adequate charges, accruals and reserves in the applicable financial statements referred to in Section 3.09 above in respect of all federal, state and foreign income and franchise taxes for all periods as to which the tax liability of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries has not been finally determined.

Section 3.22Insurance. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by recognized, financially sound and reputable institutions with policies in such amounts and with such deductibles and covering such risks as are generally deemed adequate and customary for their businesses including, but not limited to, policies covering real and personal property owned or leased by the Company and the Subsidiaries against theft, damage, destruction and acts of vandalism and policies covering the Company and the Subsidiaries for product liability claims.  The Company has no reason to believe that it or any Subsidiary will not be able (i) to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such policies expire or (ii) to obtain comparable coverage from similar institutions as may be necessary or appropriate to conduct its business as now conducted and at a cost that would not result in a Material Adverse Change.

Section 3.23No Price Stabilization or Manipulation; Compliance with Regulation M. Neither the Company nor any Affiliate of the Company has taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that might be reasonably expected to cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of the Shares or any other “reference security” (as defined in Rule 100 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act (“Regulation M”)) whether to facilitate the sale or resale of the Shares or otherwise, and has taken no action which would directly or indirectly violate Regulation M.  The Company acknowledges that the Agent may engage in passive market making transactions in the Shares on the Nasdaq Global Market in accordance with Regulation M.

ARTICLE VI

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

Section 6.01Indemnification of the Agent.  The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, its officers and employees, and each person, if any, who controls the Agent within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which the Agent or such officer, employee or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or the laws or regulations of foreign jurisdictions where Shares have been offered or sold or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation), insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment thereto, including any information deemed to be a part thereof pursuant to Rule 430A under the Securities Act, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any free writing prospectus that the Company has used, referred to or filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) of the Securities Act or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; (iii) information or statements provided by the Company to the media; or (iv) any act or failure to act or any alleged act or failure to act by the Agent in connection with, or relating in any manner to, the Shares or the offering contemplated hereby, and which is included as part of or referred to in any loss, claim, damage, liability or action arising out of or based upon any matter covered by clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, provided that the Company shall not be liable under this clause (iv) to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined by a final and non-appealable judgment that such loss, claim, damage, liability or action resulted directly from any such acts or failures to act undertaken or omitted to be taken by the Agent through its bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence; and to reimburse the Agent and each such officer, employee and controlling person for any and all expenses (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Agent) as such expenses are reasonably incurred by the Agent or such officer, employee or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action.  The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 6.01 shall be in addition to any liabilities that the Company may otherwise have.

Section 6.02Notifications and Other Indemnification Procedures.  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Article VI of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Article VI, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party for contribution under Section 6.04 below or otherwise under the indemnity agreement contained in this Article VI except to the extent such indemnifying party is materially prejudiced as a result of such failure.  In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it shall elect, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded, based upon written advice of counsel, that a conflict may arise between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties.  Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of such indemnifying party’s election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Article VI for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (together with local counsel), representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action), which counsel (together with any local counsel) for the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Agent, (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, or (iii) the indemnifying party authorizes the indemnified party in writing to employ separate counsel at the indemnifying party’s expense, in each of which cases the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party and shall be paid as they are incurred.

15

Section 6.03Settlements.  The indemnifying party under this Article VI shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment.  No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity was or could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding.

Section 6.04Contribution.  If the indemnification provided for in this Article VI is for any reason held to be unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount paid or payable by such indemnified party, as incurred, as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Agent, on the other hand, from the offering contemplated hereby or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Agent, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Agent, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Shares shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Shares (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total commissions received by the Agent. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Agent, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, on the one hand, or the Agent, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.02, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim.  The provisions set forth in Section 6.02 with respect to notice of commencement of any action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made under this Section 6.04; provided, however, that no additional notice shall be required with respect to any action for which notice has been given under Section 6.02 for purposes of indemnification.

The Company and the Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6.04 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 6.04.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.04, the Agent shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the agent fees received by the Agent in connection with the offering contemplated hereby.  No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  For purposes of this Section 6.04, each officer and employee of the Agent and each person, if any, who controls the Agent within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Agent, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company with the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.

ARTICLE VII

Section 7.03 Other Survival Provisions.  In addition to the survival provision of Section 6.02, the respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, of its officers set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Agent or the Company or any of its or their partners, officers or directors or any controlling person, as the case may be, and, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, will survive delivery of and payment for the Shares sold hereunder.

EXHIBIT C

[Form of Comfort Letters]

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of India Globalization Capital, Inc. (the “Company”) and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2009 and 2008, and the consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, included in the company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2009 (the “Consolidated Financial Statements”), and incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement (No. [        ]) on Form S-3, as amended, the related prospectus dated [               ] and the related prospectus supplement dated October [13], 2009 (collectively, the “Registration Statement”) filed by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”).

In connection with the Registration Statement:

We are independent certified public accountants with respect to the Company within the meaning of the Act and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder and pursuant to guidelines prescribed by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

In our opinion, the Consolidated Financial Statements audited by us and incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the related rules and regulations thereunder adopted by the SEC.

We have not audited any financial statements of the Company as of any date or for any period subsequent to March 31, 2009; although we have conducted an audit for the year ended March 31, 2009, the purpose (and therefore the scope) of which was to enable us to express our opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2009, and for the year then ended, but not on the financial statements for any interim period within that year.

For purposes of this letter, we have read the minutes of meetings of the Board of Directors (including Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees) of, and of the Company and its subsidiaries since March 31, 2009, as set forth in the respective minute books at ________, 2009 officials of the company having advised us that the minutes of all such meetings through that date were set forth therein; we have also carried out other procedures to _________, 2009, as follows (our work did not extend to the period from ___________, 2009 to ___________, 2009, inclusive).

With respect to the three month periods ended June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2009,

(i) we have performed the procedures specified by the PCAOB for a review of interim financial information as described in Statement of Accounting Standards No. 100, Interim Financial Information, on the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the periods then ended; and

(ii)  we have inquired of certain officials of the Company who have responsibility for financial and accounting matters whether the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the periods then ended comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Act and the related rules and regulations of the SEC.

The foregoing procedures do not constitute an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and would not necessarily reveal matters of significance. Accordingly, we make no representation about the sufficiency of such procedures for your purposes.

 We have inquired of certain officials of the Company who have responsibility for financial and accounting matters regarding whether, at October __, 2009, there was any change in the capital stock, increase in long-term debt or any decreases in consolidated net current assets or stockholders’ equity of the consolidated companies as compared with amounts shown on the March 31, 2009, audited consolidated balance sheet included in the Form 10-K which is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or (b) for the period from March 31, 2009 to October __, 2009, there were any decreases, as compared with the corresponding period in the preceding year, in consolidated net sales or in the total or per-share amounts of income before extraordinary items or of net income. On the basis of these inquiries and our reading of the minutes as described in paragraph 4 above, nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that there was any such change, increase, or decrease, except in all instances for changes, increases, or decreases that the Form 10-K which is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement discloses have occurred or may occur.

Our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the periods referred to in the introductory paragraph of this letter comprised audit tests and procedures deemed necessary for the purpose of expressing an opinion on such financial statements taken as a whole.  For none of the periods referred to therein, nor for any other period, did we perform audit tests for the purpose of expressing an opinion on individual balances of accounts or summaries of selected transactions such as those enumerated above, and, accordingly, we express no opinion thereon.

It should be understood that we make no representations regarding questions of legal interpretation and make no representations regarding the adequacy of disclosure in the Form 10-K which is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and or regarding whether any material facts have been omitted therefrom.

This letter is solely for the information of the addressees to assist in conducting and documenting their investigation of the affairs of India Globalization Capital, Inc. in connection with the offering of the securities covered by the Registration Statement, and it is not to be used, circulated, quoted, or otherwise referred to within or without the placement group for any other purpose, including but not limited to the registration, purchase, or sale of securities, nor is it to be filed with or referred to in whole or in part in the Registration Statement or any other document, except that reference may be made to it in the placement agency agreement or in any list of closing documents pertaining to the offering of the securities covered by the Registration Statement.
