Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
The information set forth under Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
 
Item 2.03.
Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant
 
On October 16, 2009, India Globalization Capital, Inc. (“we,” the “Company” or “IGC”) consummated the sale of a promissory note in the principal amount of $2,000,000 (the “Note”) to Bricoleur Partners, L.P. (“Bricoleur”) for $2,000,000. There is no interest payable on the Note and the Note is due and payable on October 16, 2010 (the “Maturity Date”).  IGC can pre-pay the Note at any time without penalty or premium, and the Note is unsecured.
 
The Note is not convertible into IGC Common Stock (the “Common Stock”) or other securities of the Company. However, under the Note and Share Purchase Agreement (the “Note and Share Purchase Agreement”), effective as of October 16, 2009, by and among IGC and Bricoleur, as additional consideration for the investment in the Note, IGC issued 530,000 shares of Common Stock to Bricoleur.  If IGC fails to repay the Note by the Maturity Date, Bricoleur is entitled to receive an additional 200,000 shares of Common Stock for no additional consideration.
 
Pursuant to the Note and Share Purchase Agreement, IGC has also agreed that if the Note is not repaid by the Maturity Date it will use reasonable best efforts to ensure that no later than  October 30, 2010, it will have a registration statement effective with a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock based on the then fair market value of the shares registered reasonably in excess of the amount due under the Note.
 
In connection with the Note and Share Purchase Agreement, IGC has entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) effective as of October 16, 2009, with Bricoleur, pursuant to which Bricoleur will have the right to have their shares of Common Stock registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission following their issuance, as well as customary piggyback registration rights, as further described in the Registration Rights Agreement attached hereto as an exhibit. If IGC fails to meet the filing or effectiveness deadlines set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, Bricoleur would be entitled, for each $1,000,000 of principal outstanding, to 25,000 shares of Common Stock plus an additional 5,000 shares of Common Stock for each 60-day period such filing or effectiveness is delayed beyond the initial late period.
 
The description above summarizes the material terms of the Note and Share Purchase Agreement, Note  and Registration Rights Agreement. The description above is qualified in its entirety by the text of the Note and Share Purchase Agreement, Note  and Registration Rights Agreement filed as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, and incorporated into this Current Report on Form 8-K by reference.
 
The securities sold in this transaction have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) and may not be offered or sold in the United States in the absence of an effective registration statement or exemption from the registration requirements under the Act. IGC believes that the issuance of the foregoing securities was exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Act as a transaction not involving a public offering.
 
Item 3.02.
