Section 2.05.Second Tranche Purchase and Sale. Upon the later of (i) satisfaction of the closing condition set forth in Section 6.01(b) in respect of CFIUS approval and (ii) 120 days following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall issue and sell to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase from the Company, the Second Tranche Shares, for the consideration set forth in Section 2.06 (the "Second Tranche Purchase").

At the next shareholders' meeting to occur after the First Closing, the Company shall recommend to its shareholders the reelection of such nominee and shall take all

steps necessary and appropriate to effectuate such reelection through the Company's proxy process. Thereafter, for so long as Buyer owns at least 9.9% of the shares of UQM Common Stock outstanding, the Company shall continue to recommend to its shareholders the reelection of such nominee (or such other CNHTC Director Nominee as CNHTC may identify to the Company reasonably prior to the beginning of the Company's proxy process for such reelection) whenever such nominee is required to stand for or stands for reelection and shall take all steps necessary and appropriate to effectuate such reelection through the Company's proxy process.

(iv)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the total number of Board seats varies from that contemplated above, or if Buyer's beneficial ownership interest following the Second Closing falls below 1/3 of the Common Stock then outstanding but is at least 9.9% of the Common Stock then outstanding, CNHTC shall be entitled to nominate, and the Company shall be obligated to elect, create Board seats as necessary, and recommend to its shareholders the reelection of, a

(viii)The Company's obligations in this Section 5.06(a) in respect of any particular nominee or director are subject to such person's ongoing compliance with all Laws applicable to U.S. public company directors and with Company governance and board policies.
