$375,000                                                     December 22, 2003

      FOR VALUE RECEIVED, GreenMan Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation
with its principal place of business at 7 Kimball Lane, Building A, Lynnfield,
MA 01940 (the "Maker"), hereby promises to pay to the order of Jed Schutz (the
"Holder") with his address at 18 On the Bluff Road, Sag Harbor, NY 11963 (or at
such other address as the Holder may specify by written notice to the Maker),
the principal amount of THREE HUNDRED SEVENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($375,000),
together with interest thereon at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. This
note shall become due and payable in cash on December 22, 2004 or such earlier
date as may be required hereby, whether by acceleration or otherwise (the
"Maturity Date"). Interest shall be paid in cash on the earlier of the Maturity
Date or upon conversion in accordance herewith in cash, or, in the event of an
Automatic Conversion or Voluntary Conversion (as defined herein) and at the
option of the Maker, in Conversion Units (as defined herein).

      On December 10, 2003, the Maker commenced a private offering ("Offering")
of investment units ("Units"), each Unit consisting of (i) one share of common
stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Maker ("Common Stock") and (ii) a warrant
to purchase 0.5 shares of Common Stock, on the terms described in the Company's
Confidential Private Placement Memorandum dated December 10, 2003 (the
"Memorandum").

I.    Conversion Provisions

A.    Automatic Conversion

      Upon the occurrence of a closing of Units in the Offering (the "Conversion
Event"), this Note shall automatically, and without action on the part of
Holder, be converted (an "Automatic Conversion") into special investment units
("Conversion Units"), each Conversion Unit consisting of (i) a number of shares
of Common Stock (the "Conversion Shares") equal to the quotient of (a) the sum
of the aggregate amount of principal and interest outstanding under this Note as
of the date of the Conversion Event, divided by (b) $1.0664 (the "Conversion
Price") and (ii) a warrant ("Conversion Warrant") to purchase a number of shares
of Common Stock equal to the product of (a) the number of Conversion Shares,
times (b) 1.5 (such number of shares, the "Warrant Shares") at an exercise price
per share equal to the Conversion Price.

<PAGE>

      As promptly as practicable after the Conversion Event (if any), Maker
shall issue and deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder (i) a certificate
or certificates representing the number of full Conversion Shares to which the
Holder is entitled upon the Automatic Conversion, (ii) a certificate or
certificates representing any fractional Conversion Shares issuable pursuant to
the Automatic Conversion or, at Maker's option, cash in lieu of scrip for any
fraction of a Conversion Share to which the Holder is entitled upon the
Automatic Conversion and (iii) a certificate representing the Conversion
Warrants which the Holder is entitled upon the Automatic Conversion. As of the
Automatic Conversion, the rights of the Holder of this Note shall cease and the
persons or entities in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for
Conversion Shares (or fractions thereof) and Conversion Warrants issuable upon
such Automatic Conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders
of record of the Conversion Shares and Conversion Warrants represented thereby.

B.    Voluntary Conversion

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder may convert (a "Voluntary
Conversion") this Note into Conversion Units at any time after the date of
issuance of this Note and on or prior to the Maturity Date in accordance with
the formula set forth under "Automatic Conversion" above. In order to exercise a
Voluntary Conversion, the Holder shall surrender such Note at the office of the
Maker, accompanied by written notice to the Maker stating (i) that the Holder
elects to convert this Note in accordance with such Voluntary Conversion and
(ii) the name or names (with addresses) in which the certificate or certificates
representing the Conversion Shares and Conversion Warrants issuable pursuant to
such Voluntary Conversion shall be issued. As promptly as practicable after the
receipt of such notice and the surrender of this Note as aforesaid (but in any
event within ten business days), Maker shall issue, at its expense, and shall
deliver to the Holder (i) a certificate or certificates representing the full
number of Conversion Shares issuable pursuant to such Voluntary Conversion, (ii)
a certificate or certificates representing any fractional Conversion Shares
issuable pursuant to such Voluntary Conversion or, at Maker's option, cash in
lieu of scrip for any fraction of a Conversion Share to which the Holder is
entitled upon such Voluntary Conversion, and (iii) a certificate or certificates
representing the Conversion Warrants issuable pursuant to such Voluntary
Conversion. Such Voluntary Conversion shall be deemed to have been effected
immediately prior to the close of business on the date on which the Maker shall
have received both such notice and the surrendered Note as aforesaid, and at
such time the rights of the Holder of this Note shall cease and the persons or
entities in whose name or names any certificate or certificates representing
Conversion Shares and Conversion Warrants shall be deemed to have become the
holder or holders of record of the Conversion Shares and Conversion Warrants
represented thereby.

C.    Reservation of Shares of Common Stock; Conversion Warrant Certificates

      The Maker covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available
out of its authorized shares of Common Stock, such number of shares of Common
Stock as shall then be deliverable upon the conversion of this Note (including
reservation of a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the issuance of
the Warrant Shares).

      The certificates representing the Conversion Warrants shall be the same as
the form of warrant certificate included in the Memorandum as Exhibit C.

                                       2
<PAGE>

D.    Conversion Price Adjustments

      In case the Company shall (i) declare a dividend or make a distribution on
its outstanding shares of Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide
or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of
shares or (iii) combine or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect at the time of
the record date for such dividend or distribution or of the effective date of
such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be adjusted so that it
shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price by a
fraction, the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding after giving effect to such action and the numerator of which shall
be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such
action. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed
above shall occur.

II.   Default Provisions

      If any of the following events (an "Event of Default") shall occur and be
continuing:

      (a) the Maker shall fail to pay the principal of, or shall fail to pay any
interest on, this Note when due;

undismissed for any period of sixty (60) days; or (ii) an order, judgment or
decree shall be entered without the application, approval or consent of the
Maker by any court of competent jurisdiction, approving a petition seeking
reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution
or similar relief with respect to the Maker or all or a substantial part of the
Maker's properties or assets, or appointing a receiver, trustee, liquidator,

of sixty (60) days, or the Maker shall state in writing its intention to
dissolve or liquidate;

then, or at any time thereafter during the continuance of any such Event of
Default, with regard to (b) or (c) above this Note shall automatically be
accelerated and with regards to (a), (d) and (e) above, the Holder may, upon
written notice to the Maker, accelerate this Note and declare the same to be

            8.3   Non-Competition.

                  (a) During the Employment period and for a period of two years
after Employee's employment is terminated, for any reason, by the Company or the
Employee, the Employee will not, without the Company's prior written approval,
directly or indirectly:

                        (i) recruit, solicit or knowingly induce, or attempt to
induce, any employee or consultant of the Company to terminate his or her
employment or consulting relationship with, or otherwise cease his relationship
with, the Company, or

                        (ii) solicit, divert or take away, or attempt to divert
or to take away, the business or patronage of any of the clients, customers or
accounts, or prospective clients, customers or accounts of the Company. For
purposes of this Agreement, a prospective client, customer or account is any
individual or entity whose business is solicited by the company, proposed to be

compensation) as an individual proprietor, partner, stockholder, officer,
employee, director, joint venturer, investor, lender, or in any other capacity
whatsoever (otherwise than as the holder of not more than one percent (1%) of

activity which competes with any business then being conducted by the Company or
any business proposed to be conducted by the Company at the time of the
termination of the Employee's employment with the Company.

                  (b) If any restriction set forth in this Subsection 8.3 is
found by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable because it
extends for too long a period of time or over too great a range of activities or
in too broad a geographic area, it shall be interpreted to the extent only over
the maximum period of time, range of activities or geographic areas to which it
may be enforceable.

                  (c) The restrictions contained in this Subsection 8.3 are
necessary for the protection of the business and goodwill of the Company and are
considered by the Employee to be reasonable for these purposes. The Employee
agrees that any breach of this Subsection 8.3 will cause the Company substantial
and irrevocable damage and, therefore, in the event of any such breach, in
addition to such other remedies which may be available, the Company will have
the right to seek equitable remedies, including, without limitation, specific
performance and injunctive relief.
