Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Purchaser is assuming only the Assumed Liabilities and is not assuming any other Liability of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (or any predecessor owner of all or part of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ business or assets) of whatever nature whether currently in existence or arising or asserted hereafter. All such other Liabilities shall be retained by and remain Liabilities of the Company or its Subsidiaries and Affiliates (all such Liabilities not being assumed are herein referred to as the “Excluded Liabilities”).

2.3 Assignment of Contracts and Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any Contract if an attempted assignment thereof, without consent of a third party thereto, would constitute a breach or other contravention thereof or in any way adversely affect the rights of Purchaser or the Company thereunder. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the consent of the other parties to any such Contract for the assignment thereof to Purchaser or its designated Affiliate as Purchaser may request. Unless and until such consent is obtained, or if an attempted assignment thereof would be ineffective or would adversely affect the rights of Purchaser or the Company thereunder so that Purchaser would not in fact receive all rights under such Contract, the Company and Purchaser will cooperate in an arrangement under which Purchaser would obtain the benefits and assume the obligations thereunder in accordance with this Agreement, including subcontracting, sub-licensing, or subleasing to Purchaser, or under which the Company would enforce, at Purchaser’s expense, for the benefit of Purchaser, with Purchaser assuming at Purchaser’s expense the Company’s obligations, any and all rights of the Company against a third party thereto. The Company will promptly pay to Purchaser when received all monies received by the Company under any such Contracts, and Purchaser shall pay, defend, discharge and perform all Liabilities under such Contracts.

2.4 Closing. The closing of the purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets (the “Closing”) shall occur simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the parties hereto (the “Closing Date”).

(a) Purchase Price.

(i) In full consideration of the sale, assignment and transfer of the Purchased Assets and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities, subject to any adjustment pursuant to Section 2.7 below, the purchase price for the Purchased Assets shall be such number of shares of Plug Power Common Stock as is equal to the quotient, rounded to the nearest whole share (such rounded number of shares of Plug Power Common Stock, the “Closing Shares”), obtained by dividing (i) $4,000,000 (the “Closing Date Purchase Price”), by (ii) the closing sale price per share of the Plug Power Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on the trading day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Closing Stock Price”).

(ii) At the Closing, in full satisfaction of the Cummins’ Debt, the Company shall transfer and assign to Cummins and Cummins agrees to accept (i) the Closing Shares, (ii) right to the cash gross-up pursuant to Section 2.7(a); (iii) the Put Right and (iv) the registration rights pursuant to Section 5.4 and Plug Power shall deliver the Closing Shares to the Company or Cummins, as its assignee, on the Closing Date, by delivery of one (1) or more stock certificates evidencing such shares of Plug Power Common Stock, or by delivery of such shares of Plug Power Common Stock in book entry form.

(b) Tax Treatment and Allocation. Plug Power, Purchaser and the Company and their Affiliates agree that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be treated as a taxable purchase of Purchased Assets subject to the Assumed Liabilities, in exchange for the

consideration described herein, in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code (and applicable state and local tax laws) for income tax purposes. Purchaser shall prepare a draft IRS Form 8594, allocating the Closing Date Purchase Price, Assumed Liabilities and all other relevant items, as determined for federal income tax purposes, to the Purchased Assets as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing and shall deliver such draft Form 8594 to the Company. Each of Purchaser and the Company shall timely file IRS Form 8594 in accordance with such draft IRS Form 8594 and shall file all other Tax Returns in a manner consistent with such draft IRS Form 8594. Neither Purchaser nor the Company shall take any position for Tax purposes (whether in audits, Tax Returns, or otherwise) that is inconsistent with such final IRS Form 8594 or this Section 2.6(b) unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

2.7 Post-Closing Adjustment and Put Right.

(a) In the event that (a) Plug Power timely files the Registration Statement, pursuant to Section 5.4, (b) the Company or Cummins, as the Company’s assignee, sells all of the Closing Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market at prevailing market prices during regular trading hours during the Measurement Period, and (c) the gross proceeds from such sales (the “Sale Proceeds”) are less than $4,000,000, then Plug Power would pay to the Company or Cummins, as the Company’s assignee, a cash payment equal to the difference between $4,000,000 less the Sale Proceeds, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of notice of the Sale Proceeds, which shall be accompanied by reasonably detailed supporting information and documentation for the calculation of the Sale Proceeds set forth therein. “Measurement Period” means the period of three (3) trading days commencing on the Registration Date and ending at 4:00pm New York time on the second (2^nd) trading day after the Registration Date.

(b) If (i) Plug Power does not file the Registration Statement on or before the Registration Date or (ii) either (A) the Registration Statement is not automatically effective or declared effective by the SEC, under the Securities Act, on the Registration Date or (B) if during the Measurement Period (1) the effectiveness of the Registration Statement is suspended, withdrawn or the Registration Statement is otherwise not effective under the Securities Act or (2) trading in Plug Power Common Stock is suspended from trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Company or Cummins, as the Company’s assignee, shall have the right to require Plug Power to repurchase all, but not less than all, of the Closing Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $4,000,000 (the “Put Right”). In order to exercise the Put Right, the Company or Cummins, as the Company’s assignee, as applicable, shall provide written notice to Plug Power (the “Exercise Notice”), within five (5) Business Days of the Registration Date (the “Exercise Period”). Plug Power shall purchase and the Company or Cummins, as the Company’s assignee, as applicable, shall sell the Closing Shares, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Exercise Notice. Upon the expiration of the Exercise Period, the Put Right shall terminate.

To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Purchaser, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

2.9 Sales and Transfer Taxes. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Purchaser shall be responsible for any transfer and/or sales Taxes relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, if any. The parties shall cooperate in the execution and delivery of all instruments and certificates reasonably necessary to minimize the amount of any such transfer or sales taxes, and to enable the Purchaser and/or the Company to comply with any pre-Closing filing procedures to establish any entitlement to any exemption from, or reduction of, such transfer or sales Taxes.

(a) Subject to Section 5.4(b) and 5.4(i), Plug Power agrees to file with the SEC, within one (1) Business Day after the Closing Date (the “Registration Date”) (i) one or more shelf registration statements on Form S-3 (or, if Plug Power shall not then be eligible to use Form S-3, on such other form as Plug Power shall then be eligible to use, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act covering the resale by the Company or Cummins, as the Company’s assignee, (such Person, the “Holder”) of the Closing Shares issued to it pursuant to this Agreement (together with any other shares of Plug Power Common Stock that may be issued in respect of such shares, whether by means of a stock split, stock dividend or otherwise, the “Registrable Securities”) or (ii) one (1) or more prospectus supplements or other materials under Rule 430B to include in a prospectus that is part of an effective registration statement such information as shall be necessary to identify the Holder as a selling stockholder and to permit the resale by the Holder of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act. Any registration statement described in this Section 5.4(a) shall be referred to herein as the “Registration Statement.” Plug Power shall furnish to the Holder as far in advance as reasonably practicable before the filing of any Registration Statement or any supplement or amendment thereto, upon request, copies of reasonably complete drafts of all such documents proposed to be filed with the SEC, and provide the Holder the opportunity to object to any information pertaining to the Holder and its plan of distribution that is contained therein and make the revisions reasonably requested by the Holder with respect to such information prior to any filing of such documents with the SEC.

(b) If Plug Power is, at the time of the filing of any Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 5.4(a)(i), eligible as a WKSI, the Registration Statement shall be filed utilizing the automatic shelf registration process under Rule 415 and Rule 462 of the Securities Act (such Registration Statement, a “WKSI S-3”). If Plug Power is, at the time of the filing of any Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 5.4(a)(i), not eligible as a WKSI, Plug Power agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof.

(c) Plug Power shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement for a period ending on the earlier of (i) the first (1^ST) anniversary of the Closing Date or (ii) the date on which the Holder no longer holds any Registrable Securities (the “Expiration Date”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.4, Plug Power may, by written notice to the Holder, suspend the Registration Statement after effectiveness and require that the Holder immediately cease sales of shares pursuant to the Registration Statement, in the event that Plug Power shall in good faith conclude in its sole discretion, after consultation with its legal counsel, that it is advisable to suspend use of any prospectus as a result of pending corporate developments or the disclosure requirements of the securities laws, provided that no period during which the use of any prospectus shall be suspended by Plug Power pursuant to this sentence shall continue for more than ninety (90) days in any twelve (12)-month period. The Holder hereby agrees that, upon receipt of any notice described in the preceding sentence, the Holder shall not offer, sell, pledge, hypothecate, transfer, distribute or otherwise dispose of, in reliance on the Registration Statement, any of the Holder’s Registrable Securities during the period in which the Registration Statement is suspended. If Plug Power suspends the Registration Statement and requires the Holder to cease sales of shares pursuant to this Section 5.4(c), Plug Power shall, as promptly as practicable following the termination of the circumstance which entitled Plug Power to do so, use commercially reasonable efforts to reinstate the effectiveness of the Registration Statement (including the filing of any necessary amendments or supplements thereto) and give written notice to the Holder authorizing them to resume sales pursuant to the Registration Statement. If, as a result thereof, the prospectus included in the Registration Statement has been amended or supplemented to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act, Plug Power shall enclose such revised prospectus with the notice to the Holder given pursuant to this Section 5.4(c), and the Holder shall make no offers or sales of shares pursuant to the Registration Statement other than by means of such revised prospectus.

(d) Plug Power shall notify the Holder of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and shall furnish to the Holder, without charge, such number of copies of the Registration Statement (including any amendments, supplements and exhibits), the prospectus contained therein (including each preliminary prospectus and all related amendments and supplements) and any documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement as the Holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the sale of the Registrable Securities in the manner described in the Registration Statement.

(e) Plug Power shall as promptly as reasonably practicable notify the Holder of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement with respect to the Holder’s Registrable Securities or the receipt of notice of the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose. Plug Power shall use its reasonable best efforts to

obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such a Registration Statement at the earliest possible moment. Plug Power shall promptly notify the Holder of any request by the SEC for any amendment or supplement to, or additional information in connection with, the Registration Statement (or prospectus relating thereto). Plug Power shall promptly notify the Holder of the filing of the Registration Statement or any prospectus, amendment or supplement related thereto or any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement and the effectiveness of any post-effective amendment.

(f) Subject to the terms of this Section 5.4, Plug Power shall promptly prepare and file with the SEC from time to time such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all of the Registrable Securities until the Expiration Date. Plug Power shall include or incorporate by reference in the Registration Statement such plan of distribution (other than a distribution including an underwritten offering) and any information pertaining to the Holder as the Holder shall reasonably request prior to the effectiveness thereof.

(g) After the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, Plug Power shall furnish to the Holder a copy of the prospectus included or incorporated by reference therein. If Plug Power has delivered a prospectus to the Holder and after having done so the prospectus is amended or supplemented to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act, Plug Power shall promptly notify the Holder and the Holder shall immediately cease making offers or sales of shares under the previously delivered prospectus. Plug Power shall promptly provide the Holder with revised or supplemented prospectuses and, following receipt of the revised or supplemented prospectuses, if a prospectus related to the Registration Statement is required at that time to be delivered under the Securities Act, the Holder shall be free, subject to the terms of this Section 5.4, to resume making offers and sales under the Registration Statement.

(h) Plug Power shall, in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement hereunder, file such documents as may be necessary to register or qualify the Registrable Securities under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such states as the Holder may reasonably request, and Plug Power shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such filings to become effective in a timely manner; provided, however, that Plug Power shall not be obligated to qualify as a foreign corporation to do business under the laws of any such state in which it is not then qualified or to file any general consent to service of process in any such state or subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction or provide any undertakings that cause the Holder undue expense or burden.

(i) It shall be a condition to Plug Power’s obligation under this Section 5.4 to include the Holder as a selling stockholder in any Registration Statement that the Holder (i) shall have provided promptly (and in any event within three (3) Business Days of the request therefor) such information and other materials as Plug Power or its counsel shall reasonably request in connection with the Registration Statement and (ii) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have promptly taken all such actions as Plug Power shall reasonably request in connection with the Registration Statement. The Holder hereby represents, warrants and agrees that all such information provided by the Holder or on its behalf shall be true, complete and correct in all material respects. The Holder further agrees that if it shall become aware of any information that

would cause any of the statements in the Registration Statement with respect to the Holder to be false or misleading with respect to any material fact, or to omit to state any material fact necessary to make such statements therein not false or misleading, it shall promptly inform Plug Power in writing, and Plug Power shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly amend or supplement the Registration Statement. The Holder shall comply with the Securities Act and any other Laws applicable to any disposition of any Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement. The information regarding Plug Power included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall not at the time the Registration Statement is filed with the SEC and at the time it becomes effective under the Securities Act contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. The information regarding Plug Power included or incorporated by reference in any prospectus relating to the Registration Statement, as then amended or supplemented, shall not, as of the date such prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, is delivered to the Holder, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. Subject to the terms of this Section 5.4, if Plug Power becomes aware of any information that would cause any of the statements in the Registration Statement or any prospectus related thereto, as then amended or supplemented, with respect to Plug Power to be false or misleading with respect to any material fact, or to omit to state any material fact necessary to make such statements not false or misleading, Plug Power shall use its reasonable best efforts to promptly amend or supplement the Registration Statement or such prospectus.

(j) Plug Power shall pay all expenses incurred by it in complying with its obligations under this Section 5.4, including registration and filing fees, listing fees, printing expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, fees and expenses of Plug Power’s counsel, fees and expenses of Plug Power’s accountants, and Plug Power’s internal expenses. The Holder shall pay all expenses incurred by the Holder in connection with the disposition of its Registrable Securities, including any broker’s fees or commissions, selling expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, and fees and expenses of any counsel retained by the Holder.

(k) Plug Power agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Holder whose shares are included in the Registration Statement, and if the Holder is not an individual, the Holder’s directors, officers and each person, if any, that controls the Holder whose shares are included in the Registration Statement within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities to the Holder or other such Person may become subject by reason of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities arise out of or are based upon information furnished in writing to Plug Power by or on behalf of the Holder for use in the Registration Statement. Plug Power shall have the right to assume the defense and settlement of any claim or suit for which Plug Power may be responsible for indemnification under this Section 5.4 with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. The indemnified party may participate in any such defense or settlement, but Plug Power shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that (x) if Plug Power fails to take

reasonable steps necessary to defend in good faith the action or proceeding within ten (10) Business Days after receiving notice from such indemnified party that the indemnified party believes it has failed to do so; or (y) if such indemnified party who is a defendant in any action or proceeding which is also brought against Plug Power shall have reasonably concluded, based on the advice of counsel, that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such indemnified party which are not available to Plug Power; or (z) if representation of both parties by the same counsel is impermissible under applicable standards of professional conduct, then, in any such case, the indemnified party shall have the right to assume or continue its own defense as set forth above (but with no more than one firm of counsel for all indemnified parties in each jurisdiction) and Plug Power shall be liable for any reasonable expenses therefor. The Holder whose shares are included in the Registration Statement agrees, severally and not jointly with any other Holder, as applicable, to indemnify and hold harmless Plug Power and its directors, officers and each Person, if any, that controls Plug Power within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities to which Plug Power or other such Person may become subject by reason of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only insofar as such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities arise out of or are based upon information furnished in writing to Plug Power by or on behalf of the Holder for use in the Registration Statement. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim, and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(l) If the indemnification provided for in Section 5.4(k) is unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities referred to therein or is insufficient to hold the indemnified party harmless as contemplated therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and the indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and of the indemnified party, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other factors, whether the 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 indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. Plug Power and the Holder agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5.4(l) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that fails to take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. The Holder shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds to the Holder from the sale of the Holder’s Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement exceeds the amount of any damages which the Holder has otherwise paid or become

liable to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. 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.

(m) Plug Power’s obligations under this Section 5.4 (other than Sections 5.4(k), 5.4(l) and this 5.4(m)) shall terminate, with respect to the Holder, on the Expiration Date. The Holder’s rights under this Section 5.4 are personal to the Holder and non-transferable except by will or in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution. Plug Power’s obligations under this Section 5.4 may be waived in any instance by the Holder.

(n) The Holder agrees to provide Plug Power with a valid e-mail address (which may be updated from time to time by notice to Plug Power), and any notice sent by Plug Power to such address shall constitute notice under this Section 5.4.

5.5 Tax Matters

(a) Tax Deficiencies. The Company shall not permit to exist any Tax deficiencies (including penalties and interest) of any kind assessed against or relating to the Acquired Assets with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period of a character or nature that would reasonably be expected to result in Liens or claims on the Acquired Assets or on the Purchaser’s title or use of such assets following the Closing or that would reasonably be expected to result in any claim against the Purchaser.

(b) Cooperation on Tax Matters. The parties hereto shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by any other party hereto, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns, and any audit or Action with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Each party hereto shall provide to the others, within ten (10) Business Days of the receipt thereof, any Tax-related communications and notices it receives which may impact the other such party’s Tax Liability or filing responsibilities.

(c) Straddle Period. In the case of any Straddle Period, (i) the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income or receipts, sales or use Taxes, employment Taxes or withholding Taxes for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership, other pass-through entity or any “controlled foreign corporation” within the meaning of Section 957 of the Code in which a Person holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time) and (ii) the amount of any other Taxes for a Straddle Period that relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period.

It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement (without any requirement to post any bond or other security in connection with seeking such relief), in addition to any other remedy to which any party is entitled at law or in equity, exclusively in the Delaware Chancery Court and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Delaware Chancery Court shall be unavailable, any other court of the State of Delaware or any Federal court sitting in the State of Delaware). The parties hereto agree not to raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches of this Agreement by the Company, on the one hand, and to prevent or restrain breaches of this Agreement by Purchaser, on the other hand, and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of the parties under this Agreement. Each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. Any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.
