On July 27, 2009, GreenMan Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly owned subsidiary GreenMan Alternative Energy, Inc. (the "Buyer") entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with American Power Group, Inc., an Iowa corporation ("APG"). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Buyer acquired substantially all of APG's assets (other than rights to U.S. Patent number 6,003,478, which is the subject of an exclusive license agreement dated as of June 17, 2009 from APG to the Company (the "License Agreement")). Subject to the adjustment described below, the consideration for the acquisition consisted of (i) approximately $850,000 in cash, which was used by APG to retire indebtedness to a bank, (ii) the assumption by the Buyer of approximately $415,000 of APG's accounts payable and other liabilities to third parties, and
(iii) loans of approximately $611,000 from the Company to APG, which loans were also assumed by the Buyer.

APG has agreed that it will reimburse the Buyer, in cash, an amount equal to the greater of (i) one-half of the goodwill recorded by the Company in connection with the acquisition or (ii) all of the goodwill recorded by the Company to the extent such goodwill exceeds $500,000. The parties estimated at the closing of the acquisition that the amount of the goodwill adjustment due to the Company is $531,500. That amount, which is subject to a post-closing reconciliation, is payable to the Company under a promissory note bearing interest at the rate of 5.5% per annum. The principal amount of the note is due in a single, lump sum payment on July 27, 2013; provided, however, that 7% of any royalties due from time to time from the Company to APG under the License Agreement will be paid over to the Buyer rather than to APG and will be considered prepayments of the promissory note.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants. The parties have agreed that, in addition to other indemnification rights provided in the Purchase Agreement, the Buyer and the Company may withhold any royalties due from time to time to APG under the License Agreement as an offset against indemnification claims and/or against any amounts which may be overdue under the promissory note described above. Any amounts so withheld must be placed in escrow pending resolution of the claims.
