2010, by and among Constant Contact, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Buyer”), and the

     WHEREAS, the Buyer and Nutshell Mail, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”)
have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 18, 2010 (the “Merger

Closing, the Buyer shall prepare and file with the SEC the Stockholder Registration Statement in
compliance with the Securities Act. The Buyer shall use its Reasonable Best Efforts to cause the
Stockholder Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable, but
in any event within thirty (30) days following the filing of the Stockholder Registration Statement
(the “Filing Effective Date”). The Buyer shall cause the Stockholder Registration

-2-

 

     3. Limitations on Registration Rights.

          (a) The Buyer may, by written notice to the Company Stockholders, (i) delay the filing or
effectiveness of the Stockholder Registration Statement or (ii) suspend the Stockholder
Registration Statement after effectiveness and require that the Company Stockholders immediately
cease sales of shares pursuant to the Stockholder Registration Statement, in the event that (A) the
Buyer files a registration statement (other than a registration statement on Form S-8 or its
successor form) with the SEC for a public offering of its securities or (B) the Buyer is engaged in
any activity or transaction or preparations or negotiations for any activity or transaction that
the Buyer desires to keep confidential for business reasons, if the Buyer determines in good faith
that the public disclosure requirements imposed on the Buyer under the Securities Act in connection
with the Stockholder Registration Statement would require disclosure of such activity, transaction,
preparations or negotiations; provided, however, that the period of time of delay or suspension of
the effectiveness of the Stockholder Registration Statement shall not exceed more than sixty (60)
consecutive days and one hundred twenty (120) days in the aggregate; provided further, however,
that any days of suspension or delay pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof shall be added to the time the
Stockholder Registration Statement is required to be effective pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof, to
the extent that all Merger Shares have not yet been sold.

          (b) If the Buyer delays or suspends the Stockholder Registration Statement or requires the
Company Stockholders to cease sales of shares pursuant to paragraph 3(a) above, the Buyer shall, as
promptly as practicable following the termination of the circumstance which entitled the Buyer to
do so, take such actions as may be necessary to file or reinstate the effectiveness of the
Stockholder Registration Statement and/or give written notice to all Company Stockholders
authorizing them to resume sales pursuant to the Stockholder Registration Statement. If as a
result thereof the prospectus included in the Stockholder Registration Statement has been amended
to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act, the Buyer shall enclose such revised
prospectus with the notice to Company Stockholders given pursuant to this paragraph 3(b), and the
Company Stockholders shall make no offers or sales of shares pursuant to the Stockholder
Registration Statement other than by means of such revised prospectus.

     4. Registration Procedures.

          (a) In connection with the filing by the Buyer of the Stockholder Registration Statement, the
Buyer shall furnish to each Company Stockholder such number of copies of the Stockholder
Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, in conformity with the
requirements of the Securities Act, as such Company Stockholder may reasonably request in order to
facilitate the public offering of such securities.

          (b) The Buyer shall use its Reasonable Best Efforts to register or qualify the Merger Shares
covered by the Stockholder Registration Statement under the securities laws of each state of the
United States; provided, however, that the Buyer shall not be required in
connection with this paragraph 4(b) to qualify as a foreign corporation or execute a general
consent to service of process in any jurisdiction.

-3-

 

          (c) If the Buyer has delivered preliminary or final prospectuses to the Company Stockholders
and after having done so the prospectus is amended or supplemented to comply with the requirements
of the Securities Act, the Buyer shall promptly notify the Company Stockholders and, if requested
by the Buyer, the Company Stockholders shall immediately cease making offers or sales of shares
under the Stockholder Registration Statement and return all prospectuses to the Buyer. The Buyer
shall promptly provide the Company Stockholders with revised or supplemented prospectuses and,
following receipt of the revised or supplemented prospectuses, the Company Stockholders shall be
free to resume making offers and sales under the Stockholder Registration Statement.

          (d) The Buyer shall pay the expenses incurred by it in complying with its obligations under
this Agreement, including all registration and filing fees, exchange listing fees, fees and
expenses of counsel for the Buyer, and fees and expenses of accountants for the Buyer, but
excluding (i) any brokerage fees, selling commissions or underwriting discounts incurred by the
Company Stockholders in connection with sales under the Stockholder Registration Statement and (ii)
the fees and expenses of any counsel retained by Company Stockholders.

          (e) The Buyer shall, if required by the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, file with the Nasdaq
Stock Market a Notification Form for Listing Additional Shares with respect to the Merger Shares.

          (f) The Buyer shall notify each Company Stockholder at any time in the event that, in the
judgment of the Buyer, it is advisable to suspend use of a prospectus included in the Stockholder
Registration Statement due to pending material developments or other events that have not yet been
publicly disclosed, and, upon receipt of such notice, each such Company Stockholder shall
discontinue any sales of Merger Shares pursuant to such Stockholder Registration Statement until
such Company Stockholder has received copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus or until such
Company Stockholder is advised in writing by the Buyer that the then current prospectus may be used
and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed
incorporated by reference in such prospectus.

     5. Requirements of Company Stockholders.

          (a) The Buyer shall not be required to include any Merger Shares in the Stockholder
Registration Statement unless the Company Stockholder owning such shares furnishes to the Buyer in
writing such information regarding such Company Stockholder and the proposed sale of Merger Shares
by such Company Stockholder as the Buyer may reasonably request in writing in connection with the
Stockholder Registration Statement or as shall be required in connection therewith by the SEC or
any state securities law authorities.

          (b) Each Company Stockholder hereby agrees, severally and not jointly, to:

               (i) indemnify the Buyer and each of its directors and officers against, and hold the Buyer and
each of its directors and officers harmless from, any losses, claims, damages, expenses or
liabilities (including reasonable attorneys fees) to which the Buyer or such directors and officers
may become subject by reason of any untrue statement of a material fact,

-4-

 

or omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading, in the Stockholder Registration Statement but only to
the extent such untrue statement or omission is made in reliance upon, or in conformity with, a
written statement by such Company Stockholder furnished pursuant to this Section 5; provided,
however, that the obligations of each Company Stockholder shall not apply to amounts paid in
settlement of any such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities if such settlement is
effected without the consent of such Company Stockholder, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed, and provided that the obligations of such Company Stockholder
shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds after expenses and commissions to such
Company Stockholder from the Merger Shares sold; and

               (ii) report to the Buyer sales made pursuant to the Stockholder Registration Statement.

     6. Indemnification. The Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Company
Stockholder (and each of its officers, directors, partners, members, legal counsel, accountants and
each person controlling such Company Stockholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities
Act, each a “Holder Indemnitee”) whose shares are included in the Stockholder Registration
Statement against any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (including reasonable
attorneys fees and expenses) to which such Holder Indemnitee may become subject by reason of any
untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Stockholder Registration Statement or any
prospectus, or any omission to state therein a fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by the Buyer of the Securities Act or
any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to the Buyer and relating to the action or
inaction of the Buyer required of the Buyer in connection with such registration, and will
reimburse each such Holder Indemnitee for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in
connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such losses, claims, damages, expenses or
liabilities, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities arise out of
or are based upon information furnished to the Buyer by or on behalf of a Company Stockholder for
use in the Stockholder Registration Statement. The Buyer shall have the right to assume the
defense and settlement of any claim or suit for which the Buyer may be responsible for
indemnification under this Section 6.

     7. Assignment of Rights. A Company Stockholder may not assign any of its rights under
this Agreement except to a transferee or assignee who acquires all of the Merger Shares held by the
Company Stockholder, provided that the Buyer is given written notice of such assignment at
the time of or within a reasonable time after said transfer or assignment, and provided
further that each such transferee agrees in a written instrument delivered to the Buyer to be
bound by the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rights to cause Buyer
to register Merger Shares may be freely assigned (a) to any partner, active or retired, of a
Company Stockholder, where such Company Stockholder is a partnership, (b) to any affiliate (as that
term is defined in Rule 405 promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act) of a Company
Stockholder, (c) to any officer, director, shareholder or member thereof, where such Company
Stockholder is a corporation or limited liability company or (d) to the spouse, children,
grandchildren or spouse of such children or grandchildren of any Company Stockholder or to trusts
for the benefit of any of the transferees above where such transferee is a natural person,

-5-

 

provided each such transferee agrees in a written instrument delivered to the Buyer to
be bound by the provisions of this Agreement.

     8. Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules
and regulations of the SEC which may at any time permit the sale of the Merger Shares to the public
without registration, the Buyer agrees to:

          (a) Make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in
Rule 144 under the Securities Act;

          (b) File with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Buyer
under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”); and

          (c) So long as any of the Company Stockholders own Merger Shares that are “restricted
securities,” as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, furnish to the Holders forthwith upon
written request, a written statement by the Buyer as to its compliance with the reporting
requirements of Rule 144, and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent
annual or quarterly report of Buyer, and such other reports and documents as a Company Stockholders
owning such Merger Shares may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of
the SEC allowing such Company Stockholder to sell any such Merger Shares without registration.

remedies upon any person other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors

terms.

	Trade Agreement between 

Vestas Wind Systems A/S, DK and ZOLTEK
	 	Page 3 of 36

Date: 22-05-07

This Second Trade Agreement (hereinafter the Agreement) is entered into between Vestas Wind Systems
A/S, Alsvej 21, DK-8900 Randers, hereinafter called “VESTAS” and ZOLTEK Companies Inc., 3101
McKelvey Rd. St. Louis, Missouri 63044, hereinafter called “ZOLTEK”.

VESTAS and ZOLTEK are also hereinafter referred to individually as a “Party” and collectively as “the Parties”.

RECITALS

VESTAS develops, manufactures, sells and services wind turbine generators (“WTG’s”).

ZOLTEK is a manufacturer and/or supplier of Carbon Fiber Materials (hereinafter Products) suitable
for WTG applications.

	A.	 	The Parties have since 2004 cooperated in connection with a Trade Agreement dated 6 November
2004 (“Trade Agreement”) and underlying firm order letters for 2006 (dated 8. November 2005)
(“Order Letter 2006”) and for 2007 (dated 4 October 2006) (“Order Letter 2007”) pursuant to
which documents (together “Existing Agreements”), VESTAS has agreed to buy and ZOLTEK to sell
certain Products.

	B.	 	Following negotiations the Parties wish to replace Existing Agreements with a new one.
thereby establishing the basis of a multiyear partnership securing carbon fiber capacity for
VESTAS, capacity expansion at ZOLTEK and maximize profit for both companies.

	C.	 	The basis for the enlarged strategic partnership is the mutual expectation of a strong market
growth. In order to accommodate existing and future market demands technically and
commercially VESTAS thus expects from ZOLTEK to increase the available production capacity to
support VESTAS’ growth. Accordingly, VESTAS aims to enhance ZOLTEK’s status as the preferred
supplier for the Products. This preferred supplier status will however be conditioned upon
competitive pricing, quality, delivery performance and available products.

	D.	 	ZOLTEK on their side have informed and warranted to establish relevant manufacturing capacity
in the US and in Hungary based on the business scenarios and economical aspects presented in
order to accomplish VESTAS’ volume objectives.

	E.	 	The cooperation of the Parties under the Existing Agreements have from time to time included
disputes and discussions relating to certain alledged failures by ZOLTEK to fulfilled agreed
orders and volumes at agreed dates under the Existing Agreements. The undertakings provided by
ZOLTEK and not the least the willingness of ZOLTEK to strengthen the preferred customer status
of VESTAS and to introduce substantial investments for a prosperous future operation has
granted VESTAS sufficient comfort in order to enter into a revised strategic partnership with
ZOLTEK while at the same time — and as an integrated presumption of this Second Trade
Agreement — amicably settling such historic disputes/non-performance.

Date: 22-05-07

	F.	 	Irrespective of the preferred relationship to be initiated and enhanced between the Parties,
ZOLTEK fully acknowledges that VESTAS cannot and will never be dependent upon only one
supplier on any component, materials etc. but must have freedom to operate with alternative
suppliers.

	G.	 	Accordingly, by entering into this Second Trade Agreement, the Parties wish with effect from
1 January 2007 (the “Effective Date”) to have the terms and conditions set out below
constitute the basis for their cooperation

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements herein contained, and
for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, ZOLTEK and VESTAS, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

This Second Trade Agreement shall apply to all orders from VESTAS and/or Contracts (as defined
below) between the Parties where delivery takes place, or has taken place, following the 1 January
2007 (“Effective Date”) irrespective of the actual date of VESTAS’ order or of the Contract.
Accordingly with respect to such orders and deliveries this Second Trade Agreement will be the sole
and exclusive terms and conditions.

With regard to rights and obligations relating to orders and Contracts delivered prior to the
Effective Date solely the terms of the Existing Agreements shall apply.

The documents forming this Agreement are to be taken as mutually explanatory of one another. For
the purposes of interpretation the priority of the documents shall be in accordance with the
following sequence:

	 	1.	 	This Second Trade Agreement

	 	2.	 	The Appendices

	 	3.	 	VESTAS’ order (where applicable)

	 	4.	 	ZOLTEK’s order confirmation (where applicable)

1. General Conditions

If a existing or future, direct or indirect subsidiary of VESTAS (existing direct and

Date: 22-05-07

Furthermore, ZOLTEK is obligated upon the request of VESTAS to supply in accordance with
this Agreement to appointed sub-suppliers of VESTAS.

In case of capacity problems, both serial production and repair action, ZOLTEK is
obligated in due time to contact the central purchasing organisation at VESTAS in Denmark
as set out in Appendix D in order to agree the right priorities. This Agreement covers all
ZOLTEK companies worldwide and these ZOLTEK companies are therefore obligated to comply
with this Agreement.

Ordinary technical questions shall be answered directly to the unit from which the
question came. Questions and matters relating to Product changes and technical discussions
in warranty cases shall be discussed only with the R&D responsible in VESTAS in Denmark as
set out in Appendix D.

ZOLTEK will upon request from VESTAS issue a parent company guarantee that states that
ZOLTEK will fulfil any and all obligations entered into by all ZOLTEK companies worldwide
related to this Agreement.

To secure the right communications flow and responsibilities the Parties have defined a
Contact Diagram — please refer to Appendix D.

	1.1	 	The Agreement specifies the terms and conditions, which, unless otherwise agreed upon in
writing, apply to ZOLTEK’s Agreement with VESTAS.

	1.2	 	For the sake of clarification, agreements and other documents agreed in relation to products
ordered prior to the Effective Date shall continue in full force and effect. No reference to
ZOLTEK’s offers, quotations, order confirmations, invoices or the like and VESTAS’ inquiries,
orders or the like, nor any of ZOLTEK’s own terms of sale and delivery and VESTAS’ general
terms and conditions, shall have any validity between the Parties and shall thus involve no
deviation from the provisions of the present Agreement, unless this is agreed upon in writing
by the Parties in connection with specific deliveries.

	1.3	 	ZOLTEK will not use VESTAS’ name or pictures of installed WTG’s as reference in sales
brochures, press releases, or any other material used for general promotion purposes, unless
such material is reviewed by VESTAS and explicitly approved in writing. VESTAS will not use
ZOLTEK’s name and product as reference in sales brochures, press releases or for any other

2. Scope of Agreement

2.1 Preferred Customer

VESTAS shall during the term of this Second Trade Agreement be the preferred customer of
ZOLTEK regarding the Products. This shall include that cooperation between the Parties
shall be given absolute top and first priority on all levels of cooperation, including in
connection with (i) daily management, (ii) availability and bookings on ZOLTEK’s capacity,
and (iii) ZOLTEK continuously giving top priority to product orders, deliveries, remedy
work and service towards VESTAS.

2.2 Preferred Supplier

The Parties confirm that ZOLTEK is the preferred supplier to VESTAS of the Products. This
is based on the precondition that ZOLTEK remains cost competitive in quantity and quality
on existing and future carbon fibre products/models and at the same time fulfils VESTAS
quality and delivery requirements.

First Right of Refusal regarding “spot volumes”

VESTAS anticipates requiring additional volumes of carbon fibre beyond the committed
volumes, cf. Appendix A (Firm Delivery Schedules) below in order to meet its production
requirements. VESTAS will thus make commitments to alternative carbon fibre suppliers, cf.
also the recitals above. In excess of such aggregate carbon fibre commitments with ZOLTEK
and alternative suppliers there may additionally be “spot volumes” including any unexpected
demand increases or significant changes to the forecast which on short notice need to be
purchased by VESTAS. VESTAS agrees to make these spot volumes available to ZOLTEK on a
first right of refusal basis.

These extra volume opportunities will be presented to ZOLTEK formally in the third quarter
of each calendar year for the forward year and informally throughout the year as
opportunities for additional volumes arise.

First right of refusal in this respect shall mean that Vestas commits to offer these spot
volumes first to ZOLTEK before sourcing from other suppliers and that VESTAS commits to
purchase such spot volumes in full or in part from ZOLTEK if (i) ZOLTEK is able to supply
such spot volumes on competitive prices, required quality and other terms and (ii) if the
necessary capacity is available at ZOLTEK to perform both obligations hereunder and
obligation to deliver such additional volumes in VESTAS’ reasonable opinion.

 

 

 

			
	Trade Agreement between 

Vestas Wind Systems A/S, DK and ZOLTEK
	 	Page 7 of 36

Date: 22-05-07

It is emphasized that ZOLTEK is only obliged to accept and fulfil such extra volume
opportunities from VESTAS in excess of an agreed Firm Delivery Schedule, if and to the
extent ZOLTEK has submitted an order confirmation to VESTAS regarding such extra volume
opportunities.

Finally, it is emphasized that fulfilment of orders on an agreed Firm Delivery Schedule,
cf. clause 3 below, shall always have first priority at ZOLTEK, unless otherwise agreed
with VESTAS.

2.3 Information Exchange

Subject to relevant restrictions based on the fact that both Parties are listed companies
and subject to confidentiality undertakings towards third parties the Parties will
annually or on request share relevant market information including general volume
commitments, forecasts, capacity bookings etc.

	2.4	 	The Agreement covers the Products stated in Appendix B and other products delivered from
ZOLTEK.

3. Logistics

3.1 Orders and Order Confirmations — Contracts

Except as set forth below in Clause 3.2 regarding supplies of Products within the fixed
forecasting system (Firm Delivery Schedules), the Parties agree that VESTAS’ ordering
and purchase of Products shall be made by the exchange of an order issued by VESTAS
and an order confirmation issued by ZOLTEK (collectively a “Contract”). Any such
Contract shall be or be deemed made incorporating the terms and conditions of this
Agreement even without these documents being referred to or attached to such
Contract.

It is emphasised that orders and order confirmations may for practical reasons
also be necessary with regard to orders and deliveries included in any Firm Delivery
Schedule due to accounting and shipment purposes. However, conceptually it is
emphasised that orders and deliveries as stated and included in any Firm Delivery
Schedule shall be considered as legally binding Contracts irrespective of whether
formal orders and order confirmations for practical reasons have been issued or not
in connection with VESTAS’ call for Products under a Firm Delivery Schedule. Hence
the existence or non-existence of such orders and/or order confirmations shall have
no effect on the legal binding nature of obligations under the Firm Delivery
Schedules.

 

 

 

			
	Trade Agreement between 

Vestas Wind Systems A/S, DK and ZOLTEK
	 	Page 8 of 36

Date: 22-05-07

ZOLTEK must confirm all orders placed by VESTAS (whether within (if requested by VESTAS)
or outside the Firm Delivery Schedule) in writing no later than seven (7) working days
after receipt of an order. ZOLTEK’s failure to confirm an order under a Firm Delivery
Schedule shall however in no way effect Zoltek’s obligation to make delivery at the times
and in the volumes and qualities set out in the applicable Firm Delivery Schedule.

The Parties agree that the Firm Delivery Schedule will at all times take precedence over
any Contracts entered into outside a Firm Delivery Schedule.

3.2 Firm Delivery Schedules

The Parties agree to establish a Firm Delivery Schedule setting out the total
number of each and any Products which VESTAS will order for delivery and which ZOLTEK
will be obliged to deliver within certain fixed periods. The Parties will — at a
minimum for the first five (5) years following the Effective Date — work with Firm
Delivery Schedules. The Parties will continuously have a [***] [***] rolling Firm
Delivery Schedule.

For the sake of good order it is emphasized that VESTAS’ obligations under any
Firm Delivery Schedule is subject to the availability and delivery from ZOLTEK of
Products fulfilling agreed quality requirements at agreed time of delivery.

Firm Delivery Schedule for 2007-2010

For the calendar years 2007 — 2010 the Parties agree that Appendix A
constitutes the Firm Delivery Schedule for the number of Products to be purchased by
VESTAS and irrevocably delivered by ZOLTEK to VESTAS in calendar year 2007-2010 and
on the weekly and monthly basis as specified in Appendix A.

Firm Delivery Schedule for 2011 and onwards

No later than on 31 December 2008 the Parties shall negotiate and agree on a
Firm Delivery Schedule for 2011. [***] [***] [***] [***] [***] [***] [***] [***]
[***] [***] [***] [***] [***] [***] [***], [***] [***] [***] [***] [***], [***] [***]
[***] [***] [***] [***]. This process will be repeated in each subsequent year
(December) — setting the volume for the [***] forward year. The principles above
shall be the strong starting point for such schedules, including the mutual desire to
have at least [***] [***] year rolling forecasts with Firm Delivery Schedules.

Remedies regarding Non-fulfilment of Firm Delivery Schedules

If either Party for any given calendar quarter fails to deliver or take delivery
respectively of the agreed fixed volume as set out in a Firm Delivery Schedule for such
quarter, liquidated damages shall be paid by the non-fulfilling Party as compensation to
the other Party (“Capacity-LD’s”).

	Trade Agreement between 

Vestas Wind Systems A/S, DK and ZOLTEK
	 	Page 9 of 36

Date: 22-05-07

Such Capacity LD’s shall amount to 15 % (fifteen percent) of the purchase value of the
volume of such Products not being delivered or purchased respectively within such calendar
quarter (up to 20 % cf. below). However, if the volume of Products not being delivered or
purchased respectively for a given quarter exceeds 20 % (twenty percent) of the agreed
fixed volume as set out in a Firm Delivery Schedule for such quarter the Capacity LD for
such volume in excess of 20% non-fulfilment shall be 35% (thirty five percent) of the
purchase value of the volume of Products not being delivered or purchased respectively.

Any spot volume orders placed by VESTAS and confirmed by ZOLTEK will for the purpose of
this provision only be incorporated into the Firm Delivery Schedule for any relevant
calendar quarter and consequently any delay in delivery of such spot volumes shall be
taken into account when calculating the above Capacity LD.

The Parties have agreed that the above capacity LDs will not be applicable to any
deliveries which according to the Firm Delivery Schedule should have been made prior to
September 30th 2007.

The Capacity LD’s shall fall due at Vestas’ written demand. If no claim has
been made in writing within 3 months from the end of the relevant calendar quarter
VESTAS shall have forfeited its claim for Capacity LDs for such calendar quarter.

Moreover, in addition to and independent of the above, if and to the extent a Party does
not fulfil its obligations to deliver and/or to purchase/pay respectively in accordance
with the scheduled delivery days/weeks set out in an agreed Firm Delivery Schedule, the
other Party is without limitation entitled to rely on such other agreed remedies set out
in this Second Trade Agreement.

3.3 Prices

3.3.1 Agreement on Prices

The Parties have agreed upon the prices stated in Appendix B which will
be updated [***] and/or in a Firm Delivery Schedule. Agreed currency, for new orders
placed by Vestas after the date of signing this Second Agreement, is [***] for all

Date: 22-05-07

	10.2	 	The contents of this present Agreement are confidential and must not be passed on to a third
party during the validity of this Agreement or after the termination of this without mutual,
written consent. This applies to ZOLTEK who is not affected by the Agreement, to the press and
others.

	11.	 	Validity and Termination of the Agreement

	11.1	 	Termination

Unless otherwise provided herein, this Second Trade Agreement shall be valid until the
earlier of (a) cancellation by either Party pursuant to Clause 11.2 below, (b) by way of
mutual agreement, or (c) termination by either Party with 36 (thirty-six) months written
notice.

	11.2	 	Cancellation

This Second Trade Agreement can only be terminated with immediate effect (cancellation) as
a result of a material breach of a material term of this Agreement which (if remediable)
has not been remedied within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice from the other Party of
such breach. Such material breach shall include, but not be limited to (ii) if a Party
suspends payment and/or a trustee or receiver is appointed by a court for all or a
substantial portion of the assets of a Party, OR (iii) if a Party is wound up, files a
voluntary petition in bankruptcy, is adjudicated bankrupt and/or a court assumes
jurisdiction of the assets of a Party under any relevant insolvency legislation OR (iv) a
Change of Control situation occurs, cf. clause 11.3 below.

	11.3	 	Change of Control

Both Parties have stressed the importance of full and proper performance of this Agreement
despite any Change of Control of either Party occurring during the term of this Agreement.
The Parties have therefore agreed as follows;

A Party shall promptly report to the other Party any Change of Control in writing.

Either Party shall on the sale of all or substantially all of its assets ensure that all
rights and obligations hereunder are assigned in full to the buyer of any such assets,
provided however that the ordinary rules on a creditor’s acceptance of a new debtor shall
still apply. I.e. the buyer of all or substantially all assets belonging to a Party shall
have an unconditional obligation but not a right to step into this Agreement.

	 	Page 19 of 36

Date: 22-05-07

If a Party experiences a Change a Control by a direct or indirect substantial competitor
of the other Party and such Change of Control may in the sole, reasonable opinion of the
other Party be detrimental to the existing and future
business of the other Party, the other Party may then at its own option (i) terminate this
Second Trade Agreement immediately or (ii) alternatively by giving 12 months’ written
notice thereof at any time following such Change of Control irrespective of clause 11.1
and 11.2 above. If the latter option is chosen by the other Party, supply and purchase of
Products shall continue as agreed herein with the sole exception that the other Party may
at any time terminate this Second Trade Agreement by giving a 12 months written notice.

	11.4	 	Consequences of Termination or Cancellation

Should termination/cancellation take place all documents, which
belong to the Vestas Group, must promptly be returned to VESTAS.

Termination/cancellation shall not have any effect on the obligations
of ZOLTEK under existing Contracts or in relation to Clause 10
regarding confidentiality, Clause 14 regarding public and product
liability, Clause 13 regarding disputes and applicable law or
ZOLTEK’s obligations, including, but not limited to warranties and
related covenants with regard to already delivered Products. It is
expressly understood that such obligations shall survive the
termination of this Second Trade Agreement.

For termination/cancellation in the event of ZOLTEK’s non-fulfilment
of Firm Delivery Schedules reference is also made to clause 3.2
above.

	12.	 	Language for Correspondence

	12.1	 	All correspondence between the Parties concerning this Agreement must be in English.

	13.	 	Disputes and Applicable Law

	13.1	 	All disputes arising in connection with this Agreement shall be finally settled under the
Rules of Arbitration of the Danish Institute of Arbitration (Copenhagen Arbitration) in
Copenhagen, Denmark by one or more arbitrators appointed in accordance with the said rules,
supplemented as necessary by the procedural rules of Danish Law.

Irrespective hereof VESTAS shall not be prevented from giving third party notice to ZOLTEK
if VESTAS is taken to court by a customer.

	13.2 	 	
This Agreement shall be construed and governed in accordance with Danish law; however, the
United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods from 11 April 1980
(CISG) shall not apply to this Agreement.

infringement suit or action against VESTAS and ZOLTEK shall be liable for any damage suffered
by VESTAS due to the infringement.
