Pursuant to the UQM Technologies, Inc. 2002 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan") and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company hereby grants to the Option Holder an incentive stock option (the "Option") to purchase _____ shares of the common stock of the Company (the "Stock") at an exercise price per share of $____ (the "Option Price"). The Option grant shall be effective as of ____________ (the "Effective Date"). The Option is intended to qualify as an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

2. Requirements for Exercise; Vesting.

1. In General. Except as provided otherwise in this Agreement, the Option shall not become exercisable until the Option Holder has completed one full year of continuous employment after the Effective Date. Upon the completion of one full year of continuous employment after the Effective Date, the Option shall become vested and exercisable in increments, if the Option Holder is still in the employ of the Company on the dates indicated in the following schedule:

	Percentage of Option
Employment	That Shall Become Vested
Vesting Date	and Exercisable on Each Date
One year from date of grant	33%
Two years from date of grant	an additional 33%
Three years from date of grant	an additional 34%

Except as set forth in Section 5 of this Agreement, the Option shall not be exercisable as to any shares of Stock as to which the vesting requirements of this Section 2 shall not be satisfied, regardless of the circumstances under which the Option Holder's employment by the Company shall be terminated. The number of shares of Stock as to which the Option may be exercised shall be cumulative, so that once the Option shall become vested and exercisable as to any shares of Stock it shall continue to be vested and exercisable as to such shares, until expiration or termination of the Option as provided in Section 6 hereof. If at any time the number of shares of Stock that are covered by the vested and exercisable portion of the Option includes a fractional share, the number of shares of Stock as to which the Option shall be actually vested and exercisable shall be rounded down to the next whole share of Stock.

2. Accelerated Vesting in Certain Circumstances. The Option Holder shall become 100% vested with respect to the entire Option, and the entire Option shall become exercisable, upon a reorganization or change in control of the Company (as defined in Section 5(b) below).

3. Method for Exercising the Option. The Option may be exercised only by delivery of written notice of exercise, together with payment of the Option Price as provided below, in person or through certified or registered mail, fax or overnight delivery to the Company at the following address: UQM Technologies, Inc., Attention: Corporate Secretary, 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, or such other address as shall be furnished in writing to the Option Holder by the Company. Such written notice shall specify that the Option is being exercised, and the number of shares of Stock with respect to which the Option is exercised, the Option Price shall be paid no later than 30 days after the notice of exercise is delivered. The Option shall be exercised only when the Option Price is paid in full.

The Company intends to register the shares of Stock subject to this Option and this Option on a Form S-8 Registration Statement (or any successor or replacement Form). Notwithstanding such registration, the Company may require the Option Holder, as a condition of exercise of this Option, to give written assurance in substance and form satisfactory to the Company and its counsel to the effect that the Option Holder is acquiring the Stock for his own account for investment and not with any present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the same, and to such other effects as the Company deems necessary or appropriate in order to comply with federal and state securities laws. Legends evidencing such restrictions may be placed on the Stock certificates.

The purchase of such Stock shall take place at the address of the Company set forth above upon delivery of a notice of exercise that specifies the number of shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised and payment of the Option Price for the Stock in full, within 30 days of the delivery of the notice of exercise, (i) by certified or cashier's check payable to the Company's order, or (ii) by wire transfer to such account as may be specified by the Company for this purpose, or (iii) by delivery to the Company of certificates representing the number of shares of Stock then owned by the Option Holder, the Fair Market Value of which equals the Option Price of the Stock to be purchased pursuant to the Option, properly endorsed for transfer to the Company; provided, however, that no Option may be exercised by delivery to the Company of certificates representing Stock, unless such Stock has been held by the Option Holder for more than six (6) months, or (iv) by delivery to the Company of a properly executed notice of exercise together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver to the Company promptly the amount of the proceeds of the sale of all or a portion of the Stock or of a loan from the broker to the Option Holder required to pay the Option Price; provided, however, that if the Option Holder is subject to the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, the Option Price shall not be paid with the proceeds of a loan. For purposes of this Option, the Fair Market Value of any shares of Stock delivered in payment of the Option Price upon exercise of the Option shall be the Fair Market Value as of the exercise date; the exercise date shall be the day of delivery of the certificates for the Stock used as payment of the Option Price.

Upon such notice to the Company and payment of the Option Price, the exercise of the Option shall be deemed to be effective, and a properly executed certificate or certificates representing the Stock so purchased shall be issued by the Company and delivered to the Option Holder.

4. Adjustment of the Option.

1. Adjustment by Stock Split, Stock Dividend, Etc. If at any time the Company increases or decreases the number of its outstanding shares of Stock, or changes in any way the rights and privileges of such shares, by means of the payment of a stock dividend or the making of any other distribution on such shares payable in Stock, or through a Stock split or subdivision of shares, or a consolidation or combination of shares, or through a reclassification or recapitalization involving the Stock, the numbers, rights and privileges of the shares of Stock included in the Option shall be increased, decreased or changed in like manner as if such shares had been issued and outstanding, fully paid and non- assessable at the time of such occurrence.

2. Other Distributions and Changes in the Stock. If the Company shall at any time distribute with respect to the Stock assets or securities of persons other than the Company (excluding cash or distributions referred to in subsection (a)) or grant to the holders of its Stock rights to subscribe pro rata for additional shares thereof or for any other securities of the Company or there shall be any other change (except as described in subsection (a)) in the number or kind of outstanding shares of Stock or of any stock or other securities into which the Stock shall be changed or for which it shall have been exchanged, and if the Committee shall in its discretion determine that the event equitably requires an adjustment in the number or kind of shares subject to the Option, an adjustment to the Option Price, or the taking of any other action by the Committee, including without limitation, the setting aside of any property for delivery to the Option Holder upon the exercise of the Option, then such adjustment shall be made, or other actions taken, by the Committee and shall be effective for all purposes of this Agreement.

3. Apportionment of Option Price. Upon any occurrence described in the preceding subsections (a) and (b), the aggregate Option Price for the shares of Stock then subject to the Option shall remain unchanged and shall be apportioned ratably over the increased or decreased number or changed kinds of securities or other properties subject to the Option. Any fractional shares resulting from any of the foregoing adjustments shall be disregarded and eliminated from this Option.

4. General Adjustment Rules. No adjustment or substitution provided for in Section 4 or Section 5 shall require the Company to sell a fractional Share under any Option, or otherwise issue a fractional Share, and the total substitution or adjustment with respect to each Option shall be limited by deleting any fractional Share. In the case of any such substitution or adjustment, the aggregate Option Price for the total number of Shares then subject to an Option shall remain unchanged but the Option Price per Share under each such Option shall be equitably adjusted by the Committee to reflect the greater or lesser number of Shares or other securities into which the Stock subject to the Option may have been changed and all such adjustments shall be completed pursuant to the rules of Code section 424 and the regulations promulgated thereunder. If the Option is covered by Code section 409A, any and all adjustments under this Agreement shall be made in a manner that is consistent with Code section 409A.
