EXHIBIT 10.9

FIG Acquisition Corp.

Subscription/Purchase Agreement

     This Subscription/Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made as of the ___
day of January, 2008 by and among                      (the “Employee Investor”), FIG
Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation ( “FAC”), and KBW, Inc. (together
with its subsidiaries and affiliates, “KBW”).

     Whereas, KBW, Inc. desires to sell, and the Employee Investor desires to purchase,
shares of common stock of FAC, par value $.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) previously
purchased from FAC by KBW, Inc. and FAC desires to issue, and the Employee Investor desires to
subscribe for, warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”, and together
with the Common Stock, the “FAC Securities”), as herein described, on the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth.

     Now, Therefore, It Is Agreed among the parties as follows:

     1. Purchase and Sale of Common Stock and Warrants. (i) The Employee Investor
hereby agrees to purchase from KBW, Inc., and KBW, Inc. hereby agrees to sell to the
Employee Investor, the number of shares of Common Stock set forth on Schedule I hereto for
the purchase price set forth on Schedule I hereto and (ii) the Employee Investor hereby
agrees to purchase from FAC, and FAC hereby agrees to sell to the Employee Investor, the
number of Warrants set forth on Schedule I hereto for the purchase price set forth on
Schedule I hereto.

     2. Closing. The closing for the purchase by the Employee Investor of the
Common Stock from KBW, Inc. and the acceptance by FAC of subscriptions from the Employee
Investor for the Warrants (the “Closing”) will take place on or about January 23,
2008.

     3. Payment for shares of Common Stock. At the time of the Closing, the
Employee Investor will be required to deliver to KBW, Inc. the amount set forth in Section
A.2 of Schedule I hereto, which represents the purchase price for the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased by such Employee Investor. Certificates for the shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant hereto will be held by FAC for safekeeping until
the completion of the initial public offering of FAC (the “IPO”), at which time they
will be placed into an escrow account with a third party.

     4. Payment for Warrants. Payment of the amount set forth in Section B.2 of
Schedule I hereto for the Warrants subscribed for by the Employee Investor and accepted by
FAC (the “Warrant Subscription Price”) will be due upon five (5) business days’
notice from FAC (which notice may be sent via email to such Employee Investor’s KBW email
address). Payments for the Warrant subscriptions will be deposited by FAC into a
non-interest bearing escrow account with an “insured depositary institution,” as that term
is defined in Section 3(c)(2) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, pending application of
such payments to acquire the Warrants immediately prior to the closing of the IPO. In the
event that the IPO does not close, the escrowed funds will be returned promptly to the
Employee Investor.

     5. Default on Payment for Warrants and Resulting Cancellation of Warrant
Subscription and Surrender of shares of Common Stock. If the Employee Investor fails to
pay the Warrant Subscription Price when due, such Employee Investor’s warrant subscription
will be cancelled and those Warrants will be subscribed for by KBW, Inc. and the shares of
Common

 

 

Stock purchased by such Employee Investor will be transferred back to KBW, Inc. at
cost. Consequently, such Employee Investor will hold no interest in any FAC Securities.

     6. Limitations on Transfer. The Employee Investor understands that the FAC
Securities are subject to the significant transfer restrictions described in the summary
offering memorandum dated January 2008 (the “Offering Memorandum”) under the
headings “The Terms of this Offering—Warrants,” “The Terms of this Offering—Founder
securities” and “The Terms of this Offering—Additional transfer limitations applicable to
the FAC securities” and understands that his or her FAC Securities will be held in an escrow
account for as long as they are subject to any such transfer restrictions. In addition, the
Employee Investor shall not assign, hypothecate, donate, encumber or otherwise dispose of
any interest in the FAC Securities except in compliance with applicable securities laws.

     7. Restrictive Legends. All certificates representing the FAC Securities shall
have endorsed thereon legends in substantially the following forms (in addition to any other
legend which may be required by other agreements between the parties hereto):

          (a) “THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. NO TRANSFER, SALE OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THESE
SECURITIES MAY BE MADE UNLESS A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THESE SECURITIES HAS
BECOME EFFECTIVE UNDER SAID ACT, OR THE COMPANY HAS BEEN FURNISHED WITH AN OPINION OF
COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED. THESE
SECURITIES ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO FORFEITURE AND ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS.”

          (b) Any legend required by appropriate blue sky officials.

     8. Lock-Up Agreement. At or prior to the closing of the IPO, the Employee
Investor shall enter into a lock-up agreement with the representative of the underwriters of
the IPO, Banc of America Securities LLC, pursuant to which, subject to certain limited
exceptions, the Employee Investor shall not, without the prior written consent of Banc of
America Securities LLC, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, contract or grant any option to
sell, pledge, transfer, hedge or otherwise dispose of, or make any demand for, or exercise
any right for the registration of (i) any shares of Common Stock
purchased hereby, until 180 days after the consummation of FAC’s initial business combination, unless, subsequent to
such initial business combination, the closing price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds
$14.25 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30 trading-day period, (ii) any shares
of Common Stock purchased prior to or in connection with the IPO or in the secondary market
(whether part of units or not), until 180 days after FAC’s initial business combination,
(iii) any warrants purchased in the IPO or in the secondary market, until after FAC’s
initial business combination and (iv) any of the Warrants or the shares of Common Stock
underlying such Warrants, until after the consummation of FAC’s initial business
combination. The exceptions include transfers to permitted transferees, charitable
organizations and trusts for estate planning purposes, transfers to FAC’s executive officers
and directors, transfers pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, in the event of a
merger, capital stock exchange, stock purchase, asset acquisition or other similar
transaction which results in all of FAC’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock or other securities for cash, securities or other property subsequent
to the consummation of FAC’s initial business combination. However, if (a) during the last
17 days of the applicable lock-up period described in this paragraph, FAC, or a successor
company, issue material news or a material

2

 

event relating to FAC occurs or (b) before the expiration of the applicable lock-up
period described in this paragraph, FAC announce that material news or a material event will
occur during the 16 day period beginning on the last day of such applicable lock up period,
such applicable lock-up period will be extended for up to 18 days beginning on the date of
the issuance of the material news or the occurrence of the material event.

purchase of the Common Stock and Warrants, the Employee Investor represents, and agrees to,
the following:

          (a) The Employee Investor is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation
D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and is able

that his or her investment will be worthless if FAC fails to consummate its initial business
combination meeting the criteria described in the Offering Memorandum within 24 months
following the IPO;

two full calendar years in excess of $200,000 (or joint income together with his/her spouse

(or joint income together with his/her spouse in excess of $300,000) during the current
calendar year and has no reason to believe that his/her income will not remain in excess of

          (c) The Employee Investor has carefully reviewed the information contained in the
Offering Memorandum, has relied exclusively upon his or her own examination of FAC, the FAC
Securities and the terms of the offering of FAC Securities, including the merits and risks
involved, in making an investment decision and has received answers to all questions
concerning such matters;

          (d) The Employee Investor agrees that a portion of the shares of Common Stock purchased
hereby are subject to forfeiture without compensation to the extent that the underwriters’
IPO over-allotment option is not exercised in full as described under “The Terms of this
Offering—Forfeiture of founder shares to the extent the underwriters’ IPO over-allotment
option is not exercised in full” in the Offering Memorandum;

          (e) The Employee Investor understands that failure to pay the Warrant Subscription
Price when due will result in cancellation of his or her warrant subscription and surrender
of the shares of Common Stock purchased hereby at cost as described under “The Terms of this
Offering—Closing and payment for FAC Securities” in the Offering Memorandum;

          (f) The Employee Investor understands that the FAC Securities have not been registered
under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and, as a result, the FAC Securities
may only be reoffered or resold if (a) there is an applicable exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws that
applies to

3

 

the circumstances of the offer and sale or (b) the FAC Securities are sold pursuant to
an effective registration statement;

          (g) The Employee Investor agrees to the transfer restrictions described under “The
Terms of this Offering—Warrants”, “The Terms of this Offering—Founder Securities” and “The
Terms of this Offering—Additional transfer limitations applicable to the FAC securities” in
the Offering Memorandum and that his or her FAC Securities will be held in an escrow account
for as long as they are subject to any such transfer restrictions;

          (h) The Employee Investor grants to KBW, Inc. the repurchase rights described under

employment with KBW” and “The Terms of this Offering—Amendments to the warrants prior to
the completion of the IPO” or if he or she otherwise fails to purchase the Warrants in
accordance with the Agreement;

          (i) The Employee Investor agrees to vote the shares of Common Stock purchased hereby in
the same manner as a majority of the shares of Common Stock voted by FAC’s public
stockholders (excluding FAC’s executive officers and directors and holders of shares of
Common Stock issued and sold prior to the IPO with respect to any units that they purchase
in the IPO or any units or shares of common stock included in such units that they purchase
in the secondary market) in connection with the vote required to approve FAC’s initial
business combination and, as a result, acknowledges that he or she will not be able to
exercise any conversion rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock purchased hereby;

          (j) The Employee Investor agrees to vote all shares of Common Stock purchased by him or
her in the IPO or in the secondary market (including shares of Common Stock included in any
units so purchased) in favor of FAC’s initial business combination; and

          (k) With respect to the Employee Investor’s shares of Common Stock, the
Employee Investor hereby waives (a) any and all right, title, interest or claim of any kind
in or to any distributions of the trust account established by FAC and described in the
Offering Memorandum (the “Trust Account”) as a result of any liquidation of FAC
(“Claim”), and to any and all amounts distributed in connection with a liquidation
of FAC, and hereby agrees to reimburse FAC for any distribution of the Trust Account
received by the Employee Investor in respect of such Employee Investor’s shares of Common
Stock; and (b) any and all right to exercise conversion rights in connection with a proposed
business combination by FAC. The Employee Investor acknowledges and agrees that, upon FAC’s
liquidation, all Warrants that are owned by the Employee Investor will terminate worthless.
The Employee Investor hereby waives any Claim the Employee Investor may have in the future
as a result of, or arising out of, any contracts or agreements with FAC and the Employee
Investor will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever.

Exhibit 4.5

AMENDMENT TO RIGHTS AGREEMENT

     THIS AMENDMENT TO RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”), dated as of February 1, 2008, is
entered into by and between Hercules Offshore, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and
American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as rights agent (the “Rights Agent”), pursuant to Section
27 of the Rights Agreement, dated as of October 31, 2005 (the “Rights Agreement”), between the
Company and the Rights Agent.

     WHEREAS, Section 27 of the Rights Agreement provides that, at any time when the Rights (as
defined in the Rights Agreement) are redeemable, the Company may in its sole and absolute
discretion, and the Rights Agent shall, if the Company so directs, supplement or amend any
provision of the Rights Agreement in any respect without the approval of any holders of Rights or
holders of Common Stock (as defined in the Rights Agreement); and

     WHEREAS, the Rights are currently redeemable, and the Board of Directors of the Company has
determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to amend the Rights Agreement to provide
for uncertificated shares of Common Stock as set forth herein; and

     WHEREAS, in accordance with Section 27 of the Rights Agreement, the Company hereby certifies
that this Amendment is in compliance with the terms of Section 27 of the Rights Agreement and
hereby directs the Rights Agent to execute this Amendment;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual agreements set forth herein and in
the Rights Agreement, the parties hereby agree as follows:

     Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning
assigned to such terms in the Rights Agreement.

     Section 2. Amendments to Rights Agreement. Sections 3(a) and 3(c) of the Rights Agreement
are hereby amended to read in their entirety as follows, respectively:

     (a) Until the Distribution Date, (x) the Rights will be evidenced (subject to the
provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section 3) by the certificates for Common Stock
registered in the names of the holders of the Common Stock or, for Common Stock held in
book-entry accounts through the direct registration service of the Company’s transfer agent,
by such book-entry accounts (together with a direct registration transaction advice with
respect to such shares) and not by separate certificates, and (y) the Rights will be
transferable only in connection with the transfer of the underlying shares of Common Stock
(including a transfer to the Company). As soon as practicable after the Distribution Date,
the Rights Agent will (i) send by first-class, insured, postage prepaid mail, to each record
holder of the Common Stock as of the close of business on the Distribution Date (other than
any Person referred to in the first sentence of Section 7(e)), at the address of such holder
shown on the records of the Company, one or more Rights Certificates, evidencing one Right
for each share of Common Stock so held, subject to adjustment as provided herein, or (ii)
credit the book-entry account of such holder with such Rights and

 

 

send a direct registration transaction advice with respect to such Rights to such
holder. In the event that an adjustment in the number of Rights per share of Common Stock
has been made pursuant to Section 11(p) hereof, at the time of distribution of the Rights
Certificates or such credits to the book-entry accounts, the Company shall make the
necessary and appropriate rounding adjustments (in accordance with Section 14(a) hereof) so
that Rights Certificates representing only whole numbers of Rights are distributed, or only
whole numbers of Rights are credited to book-entry accounts, and cash is paid in lieu of any
fractional Rights. As of and after the Distribution Date, the Rights will be evidenced
solely by such Rights Certificates or such book-entry credits and related direct
registration transaction advices. In the event the Company elects to distribute any Rights
by crediting book-entry accounts, the provisions in this Agreement that reference Rights
Certificates shall be interpreted to reflect that the Rights are credits to the book-entry
accounts, that separate Rights Certificates are not issued with respect to some or all of
the Rights, and that any legend required on a Rights Certificate may be placed on the direct
registration transaction advice with respect to certain Rights.

* * * * * *

     (c) Rights have been and shall be issued in respect of all shares of Common Stock (i)
that were issued in the Conversion or (ii) that have been or are issued (whether originally
issued or delivered from the Company’s treasury) after the Effective Time but prior to the
earlier of the Distribution Date or the Expiration Date or, in certain circumstances
provided in Section 22 hereof, after the Distribution Date. Certificates issued
representing such shares of Common Stock that shall so become outstanding or shall be
transferred or exchanged after the Effective Time but prior to the earlier of the
Distribution Date or the Expiration Date shall also be deemed to be certificates for Rights,
and shall bear the following legend:

     This certificate also evidences and entitles the holder hereof to certain
Rights as set forth in the Rights Agreement between Hercules Offshore, Inc. (the
“Company”) and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Rights Agent”) dated as
of October 31, 2005 as it may from time to time be supplemented or amended (the
“Rights Agreement”), the terms of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference
and a copy of which is on file at the principal offices of the Company. Under
certain circumstances, as set forth in the Rights Agreement, such Rights may be
redeemed, may be exchanged, may expire or may be evidenced by separate certificates
and will no longer be evidenced by this certificate. The Company will mail to the
holder of this certificate a copy of the Rights Agreement, as in effect on the date
of mailing, without charge promptly after receipt of a written request therefor.
Under certain circumstances set forth in the Rights Agreement, Rights beneficially
owned by or transferred to any Person who is, was or becomes an Acquiring Person or
an Affiliate or Associate thereof (as such terms are defined in the Rights
Agreement), and certain transferees thereof, will become null and void and will no
longer be transferable.

 

 

Each book-entry account for such shares of Common Stock that shall so become outstanding or
shall be transferred or exchanged after the Effective Time but prior to the earlier of the
Distribution Date or the Expiration Date shall also be deemed to include the associated
Rights, and the direct registration transaction advice with respect to such shares shall
bear the following legend:

     Each security covered by this Advice entitles the holder thereof to certain
Rights as set forth in the Rights Agreement between Hercules Offshore, Inc. (the
“Company”) and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Rights Agent”) dated as
of October 31, 2005 as it may from time to time be supplemented or amended (the
“Rights Agreement”), the terms of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference
and a copy of which is on file at the principal offices of the Company. Under
certain circumstances, as set forth in the Rights Agreement, such Rights may be
redeemed, may be exchanged, may expire or may be evidenced by separate certificates
or be covered by separate book-entry credits and will no longer be covered by this
Advice or be evidenced by a certificate representing a security covered by this
Advice. The Company will mail to the holder of the security covered by this Advice
a copy of the Rights Agreement, as in effect on the date of mailing, without charge
promptly after receipt of a written request therefor. Under certain circumstances
set forth in the Rights Agreement, Rights beneficially owned by or transferred to
any Person who is, was or becomes an Acquiring Person or an Affiliate or Associate
thereof (as such terms are defined in the Rights Agreement), and certain transferees
thereof, will become null and void and will no longer be transferable.

With respect to such shares of Common Stock described in this Section 3(c), until the
earlier of the Distribution Date or the Expiration Date, the Rights associated with the
Common Stock represented by such certificates or held in such book-entry accounts shall be
evidenced by such certificates or such book-entry accounts (together with the direct
registration transaction advice with respect to such shares) alone, and registered holders
of Common Stock shall also be the registered holders of the associated Rights, and the
transfer of any shares of Common Stock, whether by transfer of physical certificates or
book-entry transfer, shall also constitute the transfer of the Rights associated with the
Common Stock.

     Section 3. Miscellaneous.

     (a) The term “Agreement” as used in the Rights Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the
Rights Agreement as amended hereby.

     (b) This Amendment shall be effective as of the date first above written, and, except as set
forth herein, the Rights Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall be otherwise
unaffected hereby.

 

 

     (c) This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and each of such counterparts
shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together
constitute but one and the same instrument.

     (d) This Amendment shall be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of the State of
Delaware and for all purposes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
such State applicable to contracts to be made and performed entirely within such State.

     (e) Except to the extent specifically amended hereby, the provisions of the Rights Agreement
shall remain unmodified, and the Rights Agreement as amended hereby is confirmed as being in full
force and effect.

 

 

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Amendment to be duly executed and
attested, all as of the day and year first above written.
