(hereafter referred to as the “Company”).

RECITALS:

(A) The Company carries on, since 2012 and in several European jurisdictions, the business of development and marketing of hydrogen fuel cells for the material handling industry.

(B) For the purposes of developing the above activity, the Parent and the Seller entered into a master and shareholders’ agreement on January 24, 2012 (the “Master and Shareholders’ Agreement”). Pursuant thereto, the Seller contributed cash to the share capital of the Company and the Parent contributed a License Agreement dated February 29, 2012. Upon finalization of the above contributions, the Seller owned 55% and the Parent owned 45% of the share capital of and voting rights in the Company. Pursuant to the Master and Shareholders’ Agreement, the Parent was inter alia granted the right to appoint two directors sitting at the Board of Directors of the Company (reduced at one director after the sale by the Parent of some of its shares as provided in paragraph (D) below) (the “Purchaser’s Director”) and as a shareholder and Board member, was granted a veto right on certain reserved matters (as such term is defined in the Master and Shareholders’ Agreement and for the purposes herein, the “Reserved Matters”). The Seller was inter alia granted the right to appoint the majority of the members of the Board of Directors and the President of the Company responsible for the daily operations of the Company, and more generally had control over the business of the Company as conducted up until now.

(C) The Parties further entered into various commercial contracts with the Company, being, with respect to the Parent, and in addition to the above License Agreement, a Supply & Engineered Services Agreement dated 29 February 2012 and a Manufacturing Unit Construction and Services Agreement dated 19 April 2013 (the three agreements being referred to as the “Commercial Agreements”).

(D) At the request of the Parent, and for various financial and operational reasons, the Seller acquired from the Parent 250,000 shares in the Company on 19 April 2013. Following such acquisition, the right of the Parent to appoint one director and the above veto right on the Reserved Matters were maintained.

(E) At the date hereof, the Company has a share capital of 10,000,000 euros divided into 1,000,000 shares with a par value of EUR 10 each. Those securities represent at the date hereof 100% of the securities issued by the Company and are allocated as follows:

· the Parent owns 200,000 shares of the Company (i.e. 20% of the Company’s share capital and voting rights); and

· the Seller owns the 800,000 remaining shares (i.e. 80% of the Company’s share capital and voting rights).

(F) At the date hereof, the Parent wishes, through the Purchaser, to purchase from the Seller the 800,000 remaining shares held by the Seller, as well as all shares to be potentially issued by the Company prior to the Completion Date pursuant to Articles 6.1, 6.2 and 6.5 (the “Transferred Shares”), in order to own 100% of the share capital of the Company.

(G) Considering the above, the Parties have agreed to enter into this share purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) in order to define the terms and conditions of the sale by the Seller to the Purchaser of the Transferred Shares (the “Transaction”) including the terms of the representations and warranties given by the Seller and relating to the Company.

1. DEFINITIONS

Unless stipulated otherwise in the Agreement, the terms and expressions used in the Agreement and beginning with a capital letter shall have the meaning ascribed to them in Schedule 1, it being specified that, unless otherwise stated, such definitions shall apply equally to both the singular and plural forms of the terms defined.

Except as specified otherwise or if the context otherwise requires, references to Articles and Schedules are made to the articles and schedules of this Agreement.

Terms expressed in the French language or to which a French translation has been added shall be interpreted for the purposes of this Agreement under the meaning assigned to them by the French term and/or translation under French law.

2. TRANSFER AND PURCHASE

2.1 Transaction

Under the terms and conditions provided below (and subject to the satisfaction of the Conditions Precedent), the Seller shall sell to the Purchaser on the Completion Date all the Transferred Shares, and the Purchaser shall acquire them under the terms and conditions provided below.

The Transferred Shares shall be transferred with all rights attached thereto, free from any Encumbrance, so that the Purchaser will be entitled to all the rights attached to the Transferred Shares as from the Completion Date (including any rights to all dividends with respect to the financial year ending on 31 December 2014).

2.2 Purchase Price

Without prejudice to a price adjustment or reduction pursuant to Article 2.2, the purchase price for the Transferred Shares (the “Purchase Price”) shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Article 2.2.1 and paid to the Seller in accordance with Article 2.2.2.

2.2.1 Determination of the Purchase Price

The Purchase Price shall be equal to the result of the below-stated formula:

USD $11,475,000, plus or minus the Price Adjustment, plus or minus the True-Up Amount

In that respect, the Purchase Price shall be paid in three instalments:

· the base price, corresponding to the amount mentioned in Article 2.2.1(i) (the “Base Price”) shall be paid by the Purchaser on the Completion Date as provided in Article 2.2.2(i)(a) ;

· the price adjustment, if any, determined in accordance with Article 2.2.1(ii) (the “Price Adjustment”) shall be paid by the Purchaser or the Seller, as applicable, after the Completion Date; and

· the true-up amount, if any, determined in accordance with Article 2.2.1(iii) (the “True-Up Amount”) shall be paid by the Purchaser or the Seller, as applicable, after the

Notification Date.

(i) Base Price

The Base Price shall be equal to eleven million four hundred and seventy-five thousand US dollars (USD $11,475,000).

(ii) Price Adjustment

(a) Formula for the determination of the Price Adjustment

The Price Adjustment shall be equal to the result of the below-stated formula:

Final Net Working Capital minus Target Net Working Capital

Where:

· the “Target Net Working Capital” shall be equal to one hundred thirty-seven thousand and eight hundred thirty-three Euros
(EUR 137,833) calculated in accordance with Schedule 2.2.1(ii)(a) and as mutually agreed between the Parties;

· the “Final Net Working Capital” shall be equal to the Net Working Capital on the Completion Date calculated in accordance with Schedule 2.2.1(ii)(a) and shall be finally determined in accordance with Article 2.2.1(ii)(b).

(b) Determination of the Price Adjustment

The Price Adjustment (including the Final Net Working Capital) shall be calculated by mutual agreement of the Parties after the Completion Date or, failing such agreement, by an expert:

(I) For the purpose of determining the Price Adjustment (including the Final Net Working Capital), the Purchaser shall deliver a notice to the Seller providing the amount of the Final Net Working Capital and its resulting calculation of the Price Adjustment, together with any additional accounting or financial elements or information reasonably necessary for the Seller to verify such amounts, no later than 30 Business Days following the Completion Date (the “Purchaser’s Notice”).

(II) Within fifteen (15) Business Days from the receipt of the Purchaser’s Notice, the Seller shall notify the Purchaser of its disagreement (if any) with the calculation of the Final Net Working Capital and the resulting calculation of the Price Adjustment (the “Objection Notice”), said Objection Notice to set forth the grounds of the disagreement (the “Points of Disagreement”). Failure by the Seller to send any such Objection Notice to the Purchaser within the above 15-Business Day period shall be deemed an acceptance by the Seller of the Final Net Working Capital and the Price Adjustment as set forth in the Purchaser’s Notice.

(III) The Purchaser and the Seller shall use their commercially reasonable efforts, with the assistance of their respective advisors, to discuss in good faith the Points of Disagreement as set forth in the Objection Notice and to mutually agree on the solution to the said Points of Disagreement.

(IV) In the event that, at the end of a 30-day period following the receipt by the Purchaser of the Objection Notice, the Seller and the Purchaser have not agreed on all or part of the Points of Disagreement, the unresolved Points of Disagreement shall be settled, and as a result the Final Net Working Capital and therefore the Price Adjustment shall be determined, by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu (Paris office), or if Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu (Paris office) may not fulfil this mission for any reasons, by an expert chosen by the Parties among the major international audit firms, such expert being independent from the Parties (Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu or such audit firm to be referred to as the “Expert”) or, failing such agreement on the appointment of the Expert within 10 days, the most diligent of either of the Seller or the Purchaser shall petition for a fast track procedure without appeal (procédure de référé) to the President of the Commercial Court of Paris to designate such independent Expert.

The Expert shall only settle the unresolved Points of Disagreement and, as a result, determine the final amount of the Final Net Working Capital and of the Price Adjustment in accordance with this Agreement, the Accounting Principles and by applying the methods for the determination of the Final Net Working Capital provided for in Schedule 2.2.1(ii)(a).

The Expert shall act as a “mandataire commun des Parties” in accordance with article 1592 of the French Civil Code, and shall use its best efforts to deliver to the Seller and the Purchaser a written opinion setting forth its determination of the Final Net Financial Debt and therefore the Price Adjustment (the “Expert Price”) within 15 days following his appointment.

In order to properly fulfil his duties, the Expert will proceed on the basis of the documents communicated to him by the Seller and the Purchaser.

Any communication made between the Expert and the Parties during his mission shall be made in compliance with the adversarial principle (principe du contradictoire). Each Party shall have the right to be heard.

The determination by the Expert of the Final Net Working Capital and therefore the Price Adjustment shall be final and binding on the Parties, for all purposes, except in case of gross mistake (erreur grossière) or wilful misconduct of the Expert. However, and without prejudice to the terms of Article 2.2.2, the Parties will still be able to

agree, in writing and prior to the payment of the Price Adjustment, to substitute the Price Adjustment determined by the Expert with the Price Adjustment agreed upon between them. Likewise, the Purchaser or the Seller will be able, at any time, to put an end to the Points of Disagreement and to the Expert procedure by waiving their position and by adopting the other Party’s position.

The Price Adjustment (including the Final Net Working Capital) shall be calculated in Euros and then be converted to US dollars based on the USD/Euro conversion rate as quoted on Bloomberg as at or about 4pm (Paris time) at the Completion Date.

The Seller and the Purchaser will share the Expert’s fees and expenses in two equal parts.

(iii) True-Up Amount

(a) In the event that (i) the closing sale price per share of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on the trading day immediately preceding the Completion Date (the “Closing Share Price”) exceeds (ii) the product of (A) the closing sale price per share of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on the Notification Date (the “Notification Share Price”) multiplied by (B) 0.97 (such excess, the “Share Price Deficiency”), the Purchaser will pay to the Seller, as additional Purchase Price, an amount equal to the quotient of (i) the product of (X) the number of Closing Plug Power Shares multiplied by (Y) the Share Price Deficiency, divided by (ii) 0.97 (the “Seller True-Up Amount”).

(b) In the event that (i) the Discounted Notification Share Price exceeds (ii) the Discounted Closing Share Price (such excess, the “Share Price Excess”), then the Seller will pay to the Purchaser an amount equal to product of the number of Closing Plug Power Shares multiplied by the Share Price Excess (the “Purchaser True-Up Amount”).

(I) “Registration Date” means the date on which the Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering either (A) the resale of the Plug Power Closing Shares and the True-Up Shares or (B) the resale solely of the Plug Power Closing Shares, as the case may be, is declared effective by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission,

(II) “Notification Date” means any Business Day (including the Registration Date) within the ten-Business Day period commencing with the Registration Date, selected by the Seller by notice given to the Purchaser prior to 4:30pm, New York time, on the selected Notification Date, provided that if (a) the Notification Share Price for any Notification Date selected by the Seller is less than the Closing Share Price on the Registration Date (b) the Purchaser has

reasonable grounds to consider that this choice of the Notification Date by the Seller is not optimal market-wise and (c) the Notification Date selected by the Seller is not the last Business Day of Parent’s then-current “trading window” (as defined in Parent’s Insider Trading Procedures), then the Purchaser shall have the right to request the Seller to elect another Notification Date. This right shall be exercisable only once by the Purchaser and, in case exercised on the last day of the above-mentioned ten Business Day period, said period shall be extended by one additional Business Day. In the event the Registration Date would be a day that is outside of a Parent’s “trading window” (as defined in Parent’s Insider Trading Procedures) or the Seller would not, on the Registration Date, have obtained pre-clearance from the Parent’s Compliance Officer, then the above-mentioned ten-Business Day period shall begin as from the first day of the next-opening trading window on which Seller has obtained pre-clearance from Parent’s Compliance Officer.

(III) “Discounted Notification Share Price” means (A) the Notification Share Price multiplied by (B) 1.0 minus the Commission Rate.

(IV) “Discounted Closing Share Price” means (A) the Closing Share Price multiplied by (B) 1.0 minus the Commission Difference.

(V) “Commission Rate” means the selling commission percentage rate of Seller’s broker (expressed as a decimal) actually paid or borne by Seller with respect to the sale of the Closing Plug Power Shares

(VI) “Commission Difference” means the excess, if any, of the Commission Rate over 0.03.

(d) An example of calculation of the Purchaser True-Up Amount and of the Seller True-Up Amount is set out in Schedule 2.2.1(iii)(d).

2.2.2 Payment of the Purchase Price

(i) Allocation of the Purchase Price

Without prejudice to the completion of the Transaction at the Completion Date, the Purchase Price shall be paid according to the following principle:

(b) upon determination of the Price Adjustment in accordance with Article 2.2.1(ii), either (i) the Seller shall pay the Price Adjustment to the Purchaser if the amount of the Price Adjustment is a negative amount (i.e., the Target Net Working Capital

exceeds the Final Net Working Capital), or (ii) the Purchaser shall pay the amount of the Price Adjustment to the Seller if the Price Adjustment is a positive amount (i.e., the Final Net Working Capital exceeds the Target Net Working Capital).

(c) Following the Notification Date, either (i) the Seller shall pay the Purchaser True-Up Amount to the Purchaser if the Purchaser True-Up Amount is payable under Article 2.2.1(iii)(b), or (ii) the Purchaser shall pay the Seller True-Up Amount to the Seller if the Seller True-Up Amount is payable under Article 2.2.1(iii)(a).

(ii) Terms of payment of the Purchase Price

(a) The Base Price shall be paid in shares of Common Stock issued by the Parent, the number (rounded to the nearest whole share) of such securities being obtained by dividing (i) the Base Price by (ii) the closing sale price per share of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on the trading day immediately preceding the Completion Date (the “Closing Plug Power Shares”);

(b) The Price Adjustment, whether positive or negative, shall be paid, within 5 days of its final determination, by the Seller or the Purchaser, as the case may be, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in US Dollars to the bank account of the Seller or the Purchaser.

For the purposes above, the Price Adjustment shall be considered as finally determined upon, as the case may be:

· the expiration of the 15-Business Day period after receipt by the Seller of the Purchaser’s Notice if the Seller fails to send an Objection Notice;

· an agreement being reached in writing between the Parties; or

· a decision being rendered by the Expert in compliance with
Article 2.2.1(ii)(b).

(c) The Purchaser True-Up Amount shall be paid by the Seller to the Purchaser within 5 Business Days following the Notification Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account of the Purchaser.

(d) In the event that the True-Up Shares have been duly registered in the same Registration Statement as the Closing Plug Power Shares, the Seller True-Up Amount shall be paid by the Purchaser to the Seller on the Business Day immediately following the Notification Date through the issuance by Parent to the Seller of a number of shares of Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the Seller True-Up Amount by (B) the Notification Share Price (the “True-Up Shares”), provided, however, that if the Notification Share Price is lower than $ USD 1.50, then (a) the number of True-Up Shares shall be that which would result from a Notification Share Price of $ USD 1.50 and (b) the Purchaser will pay the balance of the Seller True-Up amount by paying cash in an amount equal to the number of Closing Plug Power Shares multiplied by the excess of $ USD 1.50 over the Notification Share Price, such amount to be paid within five Business Days immediately following the Notification Date by wire transfer of

immediately available funds to the bank account of the Seller.

(e) In the event the True-Up Shares are not registered in the same Registration Statement as the Closing Plug Power Shares, the Seller True-Up Amount shall be paid by the Purchaser to the Seller in cash within five (5) Business Days immediately following the Notification Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account of the Seller.

8.9 Payment of the indemnity

8.9.1 The Purchaser shall serve, as soon as possible upon the Purchaser, the Parent and/or the Company, and at the latest within forty-five (45) days thereof, becoming aware of the facts which may give rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder, a notice to the Seller of a payment request under this Article 8 (a “Claim” which, for the purposes herein shall include, for the avoidance of doubt, a Third Party Claim) indicating a description and valuation (to the extent possible) of the Loss, the reference of the Section of the Agreement on which the Claim is based, as well as all reasonable information and documents detailing and explaining the Loss (the “Payment Notice”).

8.9.2 As an exception to Article 8.9.1, any Payment Notice relating to a Third Party Claim initiated against the Purchaser, the Parent and/or the Company shall be served to the Seller as from the receipt by the Purchaser, the Parent or the Company of a written notice of the Third Party Claim, (a) within twenty (20) days of such receipt or (b) in the case where any action is required for the defense of such claim before the end of this 20-day period, as soon as possible as from such receipt and at the latest within five (5) days as from such receipt, in order to allow the Seller to decide whether or not to conduct and control the defense of such Third Party Claim and take any such required action. Any failure to notify such a Third Party Claim within such periods shall not invalidate such claim, except to the extent that such failure has increased the Loss related thereto, or has prevented any such Loss from being reduced.

Upon receipt thereof, the Seller may choose by notifying it to the Purchaser, within twenty (20) days of the initial Payment Notice to conduct and control the defense of any such Third Party Claim against the Company with counsel of its choice, and at the Seller’s own cost, it being specified that in such case the Seller shall (i) keep the Purchaser duly informed during all the process related hereto and allow the Purchaser to contact and be informed by the counsel, (ii) consult with the Purchaser with a reasonable notice period before filing any petition, request answer or settlement, and shall reasonably take into account the observations made by the Purchaser with such respect, and (iii) shall not in any case take any decisions that would be contrary to the corporate interest (intérêt social) of the Company. To the extent the Seller has not elected to defend such Third Party Claim against the Company, the Purchaser may cause the Company to retain counsel and control the defense of such Third Party Claim against the Company. The Purchaser and/or the Company may not settle any such Third Party Claim against the Company, which settlement obligates the Seller to pay any monies hereunder or otherwise, to perform obligations or to admit liability without having obtained the Seller’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld).

8.9.3 Any Loss under an indemnity Claim made under this Article 8 shall be paid by the Seller to the Company (or if applicable, to the Purchaser) within fifteen (15) days of the occurrence of one of the following events :

(a) an agreement between the Seller and the Purchaser relating to the existence and the amount of the Claim and corresponding Loss or portion thereof; or

(b) the notification of an arbitral award rendered in accordance with Article 16.6 between the Parties, confirming the validity of the corresponding Claim and the amount of the related Loss ; or

(c) any mandatory and immediately enforceable payment obligation arising from a Tax assessment on the basis of a breach of section 12 of Schedule 7 in accordance with Article 8.9.5.

8.9.4 In the event of a court decision or arbitral award rendered against the Company, the Purchaser or the Parent requiring any payment to be made to a Third Party and which is immediately enforceable (including any decision of temporary enforceability) and regardless of whether or not the Seller challenges the validity of the underlying Claim of the Purchaser and/or the amount of Loss to be paid to the Company (or if applicable, the Purchaser) hereunder:

(i) the Purchaser and the Parent shall be responsible to pay or make the Company pay any amount to be paid to the relevant Third Party under the above court decision and/or arbitral award; and

(ii) upon an agreement being reached between the Parties and/or an arbitral award being rendered in compliance with Article 16.6 confirming the validity of the corresponding Claim and the amount of the related Loss, the Seller shall pay to the Company (or if applicable, the Purchaser), in addition to the amount of the corresponding Loss, an amount equal to the value for money for the corresponding amounts paid by the Purchaser, the Parent or the Company under subparagraph (i) above, said value for money to be calculated on a prorata temporis basis by applying an interest rate of LIBOR + 1% per annum.

8.9.5 In the event of a mandatory and immediately enforceable payment obligation of the Company arising from a Tax assessment and regardless of whether or not the Seller challenges the validity of the underlying Claim of the Purchaser and/or the amount of Loss to be paid to the Company hereunder:

(i) the Seller will pay to the Company, within fifteen (15) Business Days following the notification thereof by the Purchaser, any amount to be paid to the relevant Tax Governmental Authority under any of the above Tax assessment (an “Advanced Tax Payment”);

(ii) the Purchaser and the Parent will, or will cause the Company to repay any amount received or recovered by the Company or the Purchaser from any relevant Tax Governmental Authority following the total or partial cancellation or overruling of the Tax assessment, or if less, an amount equal to the Advanced Tax Payment ;

(iii) all provided the Parent, the Purchaser and the Company take the relevant actions, in compliance with Articles 8.9.1 and 8.9.2, to allow the Seller to effectively conduct and control (if it elects to) the related Tax assessment procedure and any related subsequent proceedings.

8.10 Benefit of the Warranties

Without prejudice to the terms of Article 13, the Warranties shall remain enforceable in the terms and conditions as set out in this Agreement in case of transfer to a Third Party of all or a part of the shares and/or other securities issued by the Purchaser or the Company or a merger of the Purchaser or the Company with or into any Third Party.

9. GUARANTEE

9.1 The obligations of the Seller under Articles 5, 6.1, 6.2, 6.5, 7 and 8 shall be warranted, in part, by a bank guarantee issued by the Bank in the form of a bank guarantee payable upon presentation of documents for a period of 24 months after the Completion Date pursuant to a guarantee agreement entered into on the Completion Date in the form set out in Schedule 9.1 (the “Guarantee Agreement”). For the avoidance of doubt, (a) the Guarantee Agreement and Guarantee Amount shall not limit Seller’s obligations under Articles 5, 6.1, 6.2, 6.5, 7 and 8 or the Purchaser’s recourse directly against the Seller to enforce and collect on such obligations, and (b) the Purchaser will first request from the Seller the payment of any amount arising from such obligations, and, if this amount is not paid by the Seller within ten (10) Business Days from the date of this request, the Purchaser may then pursue this payment from the Seller, without prejudice to the right of the Purchaser, at any time and in its sole and absolute discretion, to request the payment from the Bank pursuant to the Guarantee Agreement.

9.2 The amount of the Guarantee shall be expressed in Euros for an amount equal (the “Guarantee Amount”) to the EUR equivalent as at the Business Day prior to Completion of USD $ 2,295,000 using the exchange rate quoted on Bloomberg, at or about 4pm (Paris time) on such day, such amount being notified by the Seller to the Purchaser.

Nothing in this Article 10 shall further prevent the Seller or any of its Affiliates, after the Completion Date from:
