3.2 TERMINATION BY COMPANY. The Company may terminate Employees employment with Cause effective
immediately, or without Cause at any time by giving Employee written notice at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of termination; provided, that if such termination of employment is made by the Company without Cause, then
Employee shall be entitled to the following severance benefits (the Severance Benefits):

(a) a lump sum cash
payment equal to one (1) times the Employees Base Salary in effect immediately prior to the date of termination. Said payment shall be paid to Employee within ten (10) days of Employees execution of the Release (as hereinafter
defined);

(b) continuation of the benefits provided pursuant to Section 2.3 (a) and (b) for a period of one
(1) year following the date of termination (the Severance Period) to the extent permitted by the applicable plans; provided, however, that said benefits shall cease immediately when Employee is next employed with reasonably
comparable benefits; and further provided, however, that if Employee elects during the Severance Period to convert Employees health coverage under COBRA, then Employee shall pay the Company the same premiums for health coverage that Employee
paid prior to electing COBRA and the Company shall pay the balance of the COBRA premiums during the Severance Period; and

(c) All incentive compensation awards including, without limitation, stock options (qualified and non-qualified), restricted stock and other stock-based compensation, shall immediately and automatically become fully vested.

(d) In the event that Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended from time to time, shall apply to Employees
Severance Benefits and Employees Severance Benefits shall exceed the 2.99x limit set forth in said Section 280G (the 280G Limit), then the Company shall provide Employee a Section 280G tax gross-up payment, subject to a
maximum payment of one-sixth (1/6) of the aggregate amount of the 280G Limit.

Employees eligibility, both initially and
ongoing, to receive the foregoing Severance Benefits shall be conditioned on Employee having first signed a release agreement, in the form attached as Exhibit A (the Release).

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, under no circumstances shall Employee have any duty or obligation to mitigate the
amount of Severance Benefits due under this Agreement.

3.3 TERMINATION BY EMPLOYEE. Employee may terminate employment with the Company
with or without Good Reason effective at any time by giving the Company written notice at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of termination; provided, however, that if Employee seeks to terminate employment for Good Reason, then
Employee shall give the Company: (a) written notice no more than fifteen (15) days from the date when Employee first

---

became aware that Good Reason has taken place (or else Employee forfeits the right to terminate employment for Good Reason) and (b) the opportunity, for
no less than thirty (30) days from the effective date of Employees written notice to the Company, to cure the purported situation that gave rise to Good Reason. In the event of termination by Employee without Good Reason, Employee shall
not be entitled to any compensation or benefits following the effective date of termination of employment, except as expressly provided under the terms of the Companys applicable plans and policies. In the event of termination by Employee for
Good Reason and after the Company shall have failed to cure, then Employee shall be entitled to the Severance Benefits set forth in Section 3.2 above.

3.4 TERMINATION BY DEATH, DISABILITY OR RETIREMENT. Employees employment shall terminate automatically upon the earliest of Employees death and, to the extent permitted by law, Disability and Retirement.
In the event that Employees employment is terminated by death, Disability or Retirement, then the Company shall pay all compensation and benefits to which Employee is entitled up to the date of such termination. Thereafter, all obligations of
the Company shall cease. A termination by death, Disability or Retirement shall not constitute: (a) a termination by the Company without Cause for purposes of Section 3.2 above or (b) a termination by Employee for Good Reason for
purposes of Section 3.3 above. Nothing in this section shall affect Employees rights under any Company plan in which Employee is a participant.

employment with the Company or thereafter, except as required in the course of employment with the Company or as authorized in writing by the Board of Directors, directly or indirectly use, disclose, disseminate or reproduce any Confidential

EXHIBIT A

FORM OF RELEASE CERTIFICATE

(You) and Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc.
(the Company) have agreed to enter into this Release Certificate on the following terms:

Within ten (10) days after you
sign this Release Certificate (which you may sign no sooner than the last day of your employment with the Company), you will become eligible to receive the Severance Benefits in accordance with the terms of your Employment Agreement with the
Company.

In return for the consideration described in the Employment Agreement, you and your representatives completely release the
Company, its affiliated, related, parent or subsidiary corporations, and its and their present and former directors, officers and employees (the Released Parties) from all claims of any kind, known and unknown,1which you may now have or have ever had against any of them, or arising out of your relationship with any of them, including
all claims arising from your employment or the termination of your employment, with the exception of Severance Payments as outlined in Section 3.2, whether based on contract, tort, statute, local ordinance, regulation or any comparable law in
any jurisdiction (Released Claims). By way of example and not in limitation, the Released Claims shall include any claims arising under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Worker Adjustment
and Retraining Notification Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, and any other comparable state or local law, as well as any claims asserting wrongful termination, breach of contract,
breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, negligent or intentional misrepresentation, defamation and any claims for attorneys fees. You also agree not to initiate or cause to be initiated against any of the Released Parties any
lawsuit, compliance review, administrative claim, investigation or proceedings of any kind which pertain in any manner to the Released Claims.

You acknowledge that the release of claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) is subject to special waiver protection. Therefore, you acknowledge the following: (a) you have had twenty-one (21) days
to consider this Release Certificate (but may sign it at any time beforehand, if you so desire); (b) you can consult an attorney in doing so; (c) you can revoke this Release Certificate within seven (7) days of signing it, by sending
a certified letter to that effect to the Companys Chief Executive Officer; and that (d) notwithstanding the foregoing, the portion of this Release Certificate that pertains to the release of claims under ADEA shall not become effective or
enforceable and no funds shall be exchanged until the seven (7)-day revocation period has expired, but that all other provisions of this Release Certificate shall become effective upon its execution by the parties.

---

|1 | You further agree that because this Release Certificate specifically covers known and unknown claims, you waive your rights under Section 1542 of the California
Civil Code or under any other comparable law of another jurisdiction that limits a general release to claims that are known to exist at the date of this release. Section 1542 of the California Civil Code states as follows: A general
release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.
|- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The parties agree that this Release Certificate and the Employment Agreement contain all of our
agreements and understandings with respect to their subject matter, and may not be contradicted by evidence of any prior or contemporaneous agreement, except to the extent that the provisions of any such agreement have been expressly referred to in
this Release Certificate or the Employment Agreement as having continued effect. It is agreed that this Release Certificate shall be governed by the laws of the State of California. If any provision of this Release Certificate or its application to
any person, place or circumstance is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unenforceable or void, then the remainder of this Release Certificate and such provision as applied to other person, places and circumstances shall remain
in full force and effect.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Release Certificate to the contrary, the Company acknowledges and
agrees that Employee is not releasing the Company from any claims for indemnification that Employee may have against the Company arising from or related to Employees status as an officer of the Company whether such rights to indemnification
arise from the Companys Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws or by statute, contract or otherwise.

Please note that this Release
Certificate may not be signed before the last day of your employment with the Company, and that your eligibility for severance benefits is conditioned upon meeting the terms set forth in your Employment Agreement.
