Preferred Stock and a Warrant to purchase 25,000 shares of Common Stock, subject
to adjustment, of GreenMan Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”) pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of April 30,
2012, between the Company, the Investor and other purchasers identified on the
signature pages thereto (the “Agreement”). This letter agreement shall govern
the rights and obligations of the parties hereto with respect to subsequent
investments to purchase up to an additional ___ Units (for an additional
investment up to $______ ) (the “Total Additional Investment Amount”).
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed
to them in the Agreement.

 

The Company and the Investor hereby agree as follows:

 

1.SUBSEQUENT INVESTMENTS.

(A)Investor Election:

 

On or before March 31, 2013, the Investor shall have the right, but not the
obligation (except as provided below), to purchase up to an additional ___ Units
(the “Additional Investment”). To exercise this right, the Investor must execute
and deliver to the Company a notice that such investment right has been elected
and describing the amount of the additional investment (the “Investment
Notice”). Such Additional Investment shall be deemed to be an investment
included in and governed by the Agreement and related Transaction Documents. To
effectuate the closing of the Additional Investment, on or before the third
(3rd) Trading Day following the Company’s receipt of the Investment Notice:

 

(i)The Investor shall deliver to the Company, via wire transfer or a certified
check of immediately available funds equal to the amount of the elected
Additional Investment; and

 

 

 

(ii)The Company shall deliver to the Investor certificates representing the
Preferred Stock and Warrants comprising the Units for which such Investor has
paid in accordance with this Section 1(A).

 

(B)Company Election Following Milestone Achievement:

 

Provided that both of the Milestones described below (the “Milestones”) are
achieved on or before December 31, 2012, the Company can request on a one time
basis, a subsequent Closing (the “Milestone Closing”), to be held on the
Milestone Closing Date (defined below). Such request must be delivered in
writing to the Investor in no event later than fifteen (15) calendar days after
the filing of the Company’s Quarterly Report on From 10-Q for the fiscal period
ending December 31, 2012 (the “10-Q”), but in no event later than March 1, 2013
or else the Investor will not be obligated to fund any additional investment. If
the Company reports in the 10-Q that it has met or exceeded each of the
Milestones on or before December 31, 2012, then it shall promptly execute and
deliver to the Investor a notice signed by the President of the Company
certifying that the Milestones have been achieved and providing supporting
documentation (the “Milestone Certification”) which such notice shall also
include the amount of the requested milestone investment which shall not be less
than at least half of the Total Additional Investment Amount (the “Milestone
Investment”). After receipt of the Milestone Certification, the Investor will
make the Milestone Investment by purchasing up to the Total Additional
Investment Amount at the Milestone Closing. On or before the first (1st) Trading
Day following 10 Calendar Days following the date the Investor receives the
Milestone Certification, the Company and the Investor shall proceed with closing
the Milestone Investment in accordance Section 2 hereof. Such Milestone
Investment shall be deemed to be an investment included in and governed by the
Agreement and related Transaction Documents.

 

MILESTONES:

 

(1)The Company must achieve revenue for calendar year 2012 of 80% of the
Company’s calendar year 2012 Budget, or $9.8 million.

 

(2)By December 31, 2012, the Company must receive EPA approval for an additional
10 engine classes (for a total of 11 EPA approvals), which represents
approximately 60% of the Company’s plan.

 

(C)Other Investment Terms:

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Investor shall
not be obligated to purchase any Units under Section 1(B) to the extent that the
sum of the Milestone Investment and any Additional Investment previously made by
the Investor would exceed the Total Additional Investment Amount. In addition,
the Investor’s right to make the Additional Investment is separate and distinct
from the Milestone Investment and the Investor may make the Additional
Investment at any time in accordance with Section 1(A) regardless of if the
Milestone Investment is made in accordance with Section 1(B).

(ii)as of the closing hereunder, trading in the Common Stock shall not be or

and, at any time prior to the closing hereunder, a banking moratorium shall not
have been declared either by the United States or New York State authorities nor
shall there have occurred any material outbreak or escalation of hostilities or
other national or international calamity of such magnitude in its effect on, or
any material adverse change in, any financial market which, in each case, in the

purchase the Units at the closing hereunder.

 

3.     CONFIRMATION.

Except as expressly provided herein, all other terms and conditions of the
Agreement and the Transaction Documents shall not be affected by this letter
agreement provided that for the avoidance of any doubt, the rights with respect
to the Units acquired in accordance herewith (the “Units”) shall be governed in
all respects by the Transaction Documents and shall be deemed Registrable
Securities under the Registration Rights Agreement. The parties acknowledge that
the Commission will not permit the filing of a Registration Statement
registering for resale the Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares pertaining to
the Units prior to the exercise of the Additional Investment or the Milestone
Investment, as applicable. Thus, the filing date for the additional Registration
Statement pertaining to such shares shall be 30 calendar days following the
earlier of the exercise in full or expiration of this Additional Investment
Right, as to any Registrable Securities underlying the Units so issued. The
rights, privileges and preferences of the Units shall be the same as the Units
issued to the Investor at the initial Closing under the Agreement.

 

4.     COUNTERPARTS

This letter agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, any one of
which need not contain the signatures of more than one party, but all of such
counterparts together shall constitute one agreement.
