STOCK ESCROW AGREEMENT

STOCK ESCROW AGREEMENT, dated as of ________, 2007 (“Agreement”), by and among GREEN POWER ENTERPRISES, INC., a Cayman Islands corporation (“Company”), ROSEWOOD PARTNERS, JORIO DAUSTER, THOMPSON & KNIGHT GLOBAL ENERGY SERVICES, LLC, OVIDIO ANTÔNIO DE ÂNGELIS, GERHARD KURZ, JACIR BERGMANN II,  WASHINGTON VALENTE and GLOBAL INVESTORS, LTD. (collectively “Initial Shareholders”) and CONTINENTAL STOCK TRANSFER & TRUST COMPANY, a New York corporation (“Escrow Agent”).

WHEREAS, the Company has entered into an Underwriting Agreement, dated ___________, 2007 (“Underwriting Agreement”), with Morgan Joseph & Co. Inc. (“MJC”) acting as representative of the several underwriters (collectively, the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which, among other matters, the Underwriters have agreed to purchase 25,000,000 units (“Units”) of the Company. Each Unit consists of one ordinary share of the Company, par value $.0001 per share (“Ordinary Shares”), and one Warrant, each Warrant to purchase one Ordinary Share, all as more fully described in the Company’s final Prospectus, dated _________, 2007 (“Prospectus”) comprising part of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form F 1 (File No. 333 ________) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Registration Statement”),
declared effective on _______, 2007 (“Effective Date”).

WHEREAS, the Initial Shareholders have agreed as a condition of the sale of the Units to deposit their Ordinary Shares of the Company, as set forth opposite their respective names in Exhibit A attached hereto (collectively “Escrow Shares”), in escrow as hereinafter provided.

WHEREAS, the Company and the Initial Shareholders desire that the Escrow Agent accept the Escrow Shares, in escrow, to be held and disbursed as hereinafter provided.

IT IS AGREED:

1. Appointment of Escrow Agent. The Company and the Initial Shareholders hereby appoint the Escrow Agent to act in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agent hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to act in accordance with and subject to such terms.

2. Deposit of Escrow Shares. On or before the Effective Date, each of the Initial Shareholders shall deliver to the Escrow Agent certificates representing his respective Escrow Shares, to be held and disbursed subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Each Initial Shareholder acknowledges that the certificate representing his Escrow Shares is legended to reflect the deposit of such Escrow Shares under this Agreement.

3. Disbursement of the Escrow Shares. 

3.1 The Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Shares until one year after the consummation of a business combination (the “Escrow Period”), on which date, upon written 

 

instructions from each Initial Shareholder, the Escrow Agent shall disburse such amount of each Initial Shareholder’s Escrow Shares (and any applicable stock power) to such Initial Shareholder; provided, however, that if the Escrow Agent is notified by the Company pursuant to Section 6.7 hereof that the Company is being liquidated at any time during the Escrow Period, then the Escrow Agent shall promptly destroy the certificates representing the Escrow Shares; provided further, however, that if, within one year after the Company consummates a Business Combination (as such term is defined in the Registration Statement), (i) the Company (or the surviving entity) subsequently consummates a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the shareholders of such entity having the right to exchange their Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other
property or (ii) the last sales price of the Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $13.00 per share for any 40 trading days within any 60-trading day period, then the Escrow Agent will, upon receipt of a notice executed by the Chairman of the Board, President or other authorized officer of the Company, in form reasonably acceptable to the Escrow Agent, certifying that such transaction is then being consummated or such conditions have been achieved, as applicable, release the Escrow Shares to the Initial Shareholders. The Escrow Agent shall have no further duties hereunder after the disbursement or destruction of the Escrow Shares in accordance with this Section 3.

3.2 If the Company consummates a Business Combination in which holders of more than 20% of the Ordinary Shares sold in the IPO exercise the right to redeem their shares for cash (as described more fully in the Prospectus), the Escrow Agent shall, upon receipt of written instructions from the Company, return to the Company for cancellation the number of Escrow Shares (not to exceed 781,250 in the aggregate) which results in the Initial Shareholders collectively owning no more than 23.81% of the Company’s outstanding Ordinary Shares immediately prior to the consummation of such Business Combination (without giving effect to any Ordinary Shares that might be issued in connection with the Business Combination). Such instructions shall set forth both the number of Ordinary Shares being redeemed for cash and the number of Escrow Shares to be delivered to the Company for cancellation. 

4. Rights of Initial Shareholders in Escrow Shares. 

4.1 Voting Rights as a Shareholder. Subject to the terms of the Insider Letters described in Section 4.4 hereof and except as herein provided, the Initial Shareholders shall retain all of their rights as shareholders of the Company during the Escrow Period, including, without limitation, the right to vote such shares.

4.2 Dividends and Other Distributions in Respect of the Escrow Shares. During the Escrow Period, all dividends payable in cash with respect to the Escrow Shares shall be paid to the Initial Shareholders, but all dividends payable in stock or other non-cash property (“Non-Cash Dividends”) shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent to hold in accordance with the terms hereof. As used herein, the term “Escrow Shares” shall be deemed to include the Non-Cash Dividends distributed thereon, if any.

4.3 Restrictions on Transfer. During the Escrow Period, no sale, transfer or other disposition may be made of any or all of the Escrow Shares except (i) to an entity’s 

 

 

2

 

members upon its liquidation, (ii) by bona fide gift to a member of an Initial Shareholder’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is an Initial Shareholder or a member of an Initial Shareholder’s immediate family, (iii) by virtue of the laws of descent and distribution upon death of any Initial Shareholder, (iv) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order or (v) by private sales of the Escrow Shares made at or prior to the consummation of a Business Combination at prices no greater than the price at which the shares were originally purchased; provided, however, that such permissive transfers may be implemented only upon the respective transferee’s written agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and of the Insider Letter signed by the Initial Shareholder transferring the Escrow Shares. During the Escrow Period, the Initial
Shareholders shall not pledge or grant a security interest in the Escrow Shares or grant a security interest in their rights under this Agreement.

4.4 Insider Letters. Each of the Initial Shareholders has executed a letter agreement with MJC and the Company, dated as indicated on Exhibit A hereto, and which is filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement (“Insider Letter”), respecting the rights and obligations of such Initial Shareholder in certain events, including but not limited to the liquidation of the Company.

5. Concerning the Escrow Agent.

5.1 Good Faith Reliance. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and in the exercise of its own best judgment, and may rely conclusively and shall be protected in acting upon any order, notice, demand, certificate, opinion or advice of counsel (including counsel chosen by the Escrow Agent), statement, instrument, report or other paper or document (not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and acceptability of any information therein contained) which is believed by the Escrow Agent to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper person or persons. The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any notice or demand, or any waiver, modification, termination or rescission of this
Agreement unless evidenced by a writing delivered to the Escrow Agent signed by the proper party or parties and, if the duties or rights of the Escrow Agent are affected, unless it shall have given its prior written consent thereto. 

5.2 Indemnification. The Escrow Agent shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from and against any expenses, including counsel fees and disbursements, or loss suffered by the Escrow Agent in connection with any action, suit or other proceeding involving any claim which in any way, directly or indirectly, arises out of or relates to this Agreement, the services of the Escrow Agent hereunder, or the Escrow Shares held by it hereunder, other than expenses or losses arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Escrow Agent. Promptly after the receipt by the Escrow Agent of notice of any demand or claim or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, the Escrow Agent shall notify the other parties hereto in writing. In the event of the receipt of such notice, the
Escrow Agent, in its sole discretion, may commence an action in the nature of interpleader in an appropriate court to determine ownership or disposition of the Escrow Shares or it may deposit the Escrow Shares with the clerk of any appropriate court or it may retain the Escrow Shares pending receipt of a 

 

 

3

 

final, non appealable order of a court having jurisdiction over all of the parties hereto directing to whom and under what circumstances the Escrow Shares are to be disbursed and delivered. The provisions of this Section 5.2 shall survive in the event the Escrow Agent resigns or is discharged pursuant to Sections 5.5 or 5.6 below.

5.3 Compensation. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to reasonable compensation from the Company for all services rendered by it hereunder. The Escrow Agent shall also be entitled to reimbursement from the Company for all expenses paid or incurred by it in the administration of its duties hereunder including, but not limited to, all counsel, advisors’ and agents’ fees and disbursements and all taxes or other governmental charges.

5.4 Further Assurances. From time to time on and after the date hereof, the Company and the Initial Shareholders shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Escrow Agent such further documents and instruments and shall do or cause to be done such further acts as the Escrow Agent shall reasonably request to carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes of this Agreement, to evidence compliance herewith or to assure itself that it is protected in acting hereunder.

5.5 Resignation. The Escrow Agent may resign at any time and be discharged from its duties as escrow agent hereunder by its giving the other parties hereto written notice and such resignation shall become effective as hereinafter provided. Such resignation shall become effective at such time that the Escrow Agent shall turn over to a successor escrow agent appointed  by the Company, the Escrow Shares held hereunder. If no new escrow agent is so appointed within the 60 day period following the giving of such notice of resignation, the Escrow Agent may deposit the Escrow Shares with any court it reasonably deems appropriate.

5.6 Discharge of Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall resign and be discharged from its duties as escrow agent hereunder if so requested in writing at any time by the other parties hereto, jointly, provided, however, that such resignation shall become effective only upon acceptance of appointment by a successor escrow agent as provided in Section 5.5.

5.7 Liability. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Escrow Agent shall not be relieved from liability hereunder for its own gross negligence or its own willful misconduct.

6. Miscellaneous.

6.1 Governing Law.

WHEREAS, the Company has received binding commitments (“Subscription Agreements”) from the Insider Purchasers to purchase an aggregate of 5,000,000 warrants (“Insider Warrants”). 

WHEREAS, the Company has entered into an Underwriting Agreement, dated _____ __, 2007 (“Underwriting Agreement”), with Morgan Joseph & Co., Inc. (“MJC”), pursuant to which, among other matters, MJC has agreed to purchase 25,000,000 units (“Units”) of the Company. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), and one Warrant, each Warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock, all as more fully described in the Company’s final Prospectus, dated ________, 2007 (“Prospectus”) comprising part of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form F 1 (File No. 333 _______) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Registration Statement”), declared effective on ___________, 2007 (“Effective Date”).

WHEREAS, the Insider Purchasers have agreed as a condition of the sale of the Units to deposit their Insider Warrants, as set forth opposite their respective names in Exhibit A attached hereto (collectively “Escrow Warrants”), in escrow as hereinafter provided.

WHEREAS, the Company and the Insider Purchasers desire that the Escrow Agent accept the Escrow Warrants, in escrow, to be held and disbursed as hereinafter provided.

IT IS AGREED:

1. Appointment of Escrow Agent. The Company and the Insider Purchasers hereby appoint the Escrow Agent to act in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agent hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to act in accordance with and subject to such terms.

2. Deposit of Escrow Warrants. On or before the Effective Date, the Insider Purchasers shall deliver to the Escrow Agent certificates representing the Escrow Warrants, to be held and disbursed subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Insider Purchasers acknowledge that the certificates representing the Escrow Warrants are legended to reflect the deposit of such Escrow Warrants under this Agreement.

3. Disbursement of the Escrow Warrants. The Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Warrants until after the consummation of a Business Combination (as such term is defined in the Registration Statement) (“Escrow Period”), on which date it shall, upon written instructions from the Insider Purchasers, disburse the Insider Purchasers’ Escrow Warrants to the Insider

 

 

Purchasers; provided, however, that if the Escrow Agent is notified by the Company pursuant to Section 6.7 hereof that the Company is being liquidated at any time during the Escrow Period, then the Escrow Agent shall promptly destroy the certificates representing the Escrow Warrants. The Escrow Agent shall have no further duties hereunder after the disbursement or destruction of the Escrow Warrants in accordance with this Section 3.

4. Restrictions on Transfer of Escrow Warrants. During the Escrow Period, no sale, transfer or other disposition may be made of any or all of the Escrow Warrants except (i) upon the dissolution and liquidation of an Insider Purchaser and the distribution of assets to its members; (ii) by gift to a immediate family member of an Insider Purchaser or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of the Insider Purchaser or a member of the immediate family of the Insider Purchaser’s members, (iii) by virtue of the laws of descent and distribution upon death of any Insider Purchaser, or (iv) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; provided, however, that such permissive transfers may be implemented only upon the respective transferee’s written agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and of the Subscription Agreement signed by the Insider Purchaser making the transfer.

5. Concerning the Escrow Agent.

5.1 Good Faith Reliance. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and in the exercise of its own best judgment, and may rely conclusively and shall be protected in acting upon any order, notice, demand, certificate, opinion or advice of counsel (including counsel chosen by the Escrow Agent), statement, instrument, report or other paper or document (not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and acceptability of any information therein contained) which is believed by the Escrow Agent to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper person or persons. The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any notice or demand, or any waiver, modification, termination or rescission of this
Agreement unless evidenced by a writing delivered to the Escrow Agent signed by the proper party or parties and, if the duties or rights of the Escrow Agent are affected, unless it shall have given its prior written consent thereto. 

5.2 Indemnification. The Escrow Agent shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from and against any expenses, including counsel fees and disbursements, or loss suffered by the Escrow Agent in connection with any action, suit or other proceeding involving any claim which in any way, directly or indirectly, arises out of or relates to this Agreement, the services of the Escrow Agent hereunder, or the Escrow Warrants held by it hereunder, other than expenses or losses arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Escrow Agent. Promptly after the receipt by the Escrow Agent of notice of any demand or claim or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, the Escrow Agent shall notify the other parties hereto in writing. In the event of the receipt of such notice, the
Escrow Agent, in its sole discretion, may commence an action in the nature of interpleader in an appropriate court to determine ownership or disposition of the Escrow Warrants or it may deposit the Escrow Warrants with the clerk of any appropriate court or it may retain the Escrow Warrants pending receipt of a final, non appealable order of a court having jurisdiction over all

5.5 Resignation. The Escrow Agent may resign at any time and be discharged from its duties as escrow agent hereunder by its giving the other parties hereto written notice and such resignation shall become effective as hereinafter provided.
