                              TERMINATION AGREEMENT
                              ---------------------

     TERMINATION AGREEMENT, made as of the 29th day of March, 2000 by and
between H POWER CORP., a Delaware corporation having its principal place of
business at 1373 Broad Street, Clifton, New Jersey 07013 (the "COMPANY"), and
NBG TECHNOLOGIES, INC., (formerly, "Techmatics Inc."), a Delaware corporation
having its principal place of business at 933 Motor Parkway, Hauppauge, New York
11788 ("NBG")

                                   WITNESSETH:
                                   -----------

     WHEREAS, the Company and NBG are parties to an Agreement, dated February
15, 1995 (the "Agreement"), pursuant to which NBG provides certain research and
development consulting services to the Company and has received, among other
things, certain marketing, distribution and manufacturing rights; and

     WHEREAS, the Company is contemplating an initial public offering of its
common stock (the "IPO"); and

     WHEREAS, the Company and NBG deem it in their respective best interests to
terminate the Agreement.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements hereinafter
contained, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows:

     1.   TERMINATION, Effective as of the date hereof, the Agreement and each
of the terms, provisions and covenants contained therein, and all other
agreements and understandings among the Company and NBG, whether written or
oral, be and the same hereby are terminated and of no further force or effect.

     2    TERMINATION BENEFITS. Pursuant to this Termination Agreement, the
Company will provide NBG with the following benefits:

     (a)  $100,000 to be wired to NBG on or before March 29, 2000; and

     (b)  Cashless options to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company's common
          stock, to be adjusted for any stock split or dividend resulting from
          the final terms of the Company's potential IPO. All said options,
          resulting from a stock split or dividend due to the Company's
          potential IPO shall be exercisable at a price per share equal to the
          underwriting price. Following the IPO, if there should be any changes
          in the capitalization of the Company affecting in any manner the
          number or kind of outstanding shares of common stock of the Company,
          whether such changes have been occasioned by reorganization,
          combination of shares, declaration of stock dividends or stock splits,
          then the number and kind of shares then subject to the option and the
          price to be paid therefore shall be appropriately adjusted by the
          Company, provided, however, that in no event shall any such adjustment
          result in the Company being required to sell or issue a fractional
          share of stock. In the event that the Company is unable to complete
          the presently contemplated IPO, NBG shall have the right to exercise
          the aforementioned options either with respect to a subsequent IPO or
          equity offering and the exercise price of the

<PAGE>

          option will be the price per share equal to the underwriting price of
          the next IPO or equity offering of the Company.

     3.   RELEASE OF CLAIMS. In consideration for the benefits offered herein,
each of the parties hereto agrees to fully and completely release and discharge
the other party and its directors, officers, employees and agents (collectively,
the "Released Parties") from any and all claims, causes of action and demands,
of any kind or nature whatsoever, arising at law or in equity, whether known or
unknown, that it has, ever has had, and ever in the future may have, against any
of them, arising up to and including the date both parties signs this
Termination Agreement. Except to enforce the provisions of this Termination
Agreement, each party agrees not to initiate any legal action, charge or
complaint seeking to recover damages against any of the Released Parties
relating to the matters covered or contemplated by this Termination Agreement or
that is based on events that took place prior to the date of execution hereof or
claims existing as of the date of execution hereof. In the event either party
asserts any such actions, charges or complaints in the future each party agrees
that the other party, in addition to any other remedies available at law or in
equity, shall be entitled to recover its costs and the attorneys fees incurred
by one or more of its Released Parties in defending such action, charge or
complaint.

     4.   MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

               has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and

               of which shall be deemed to be an original as against any party
               whose signature appears thereon, and all of which shall together
               constitute one and the same agreement. This Termination Agreement
