Dear Paul,

Evergreen Solar is very pleased to confirm your position has been changed to Chief Financial Officer on an interim basis reporting to Mike El-Hillow. Your first day of employment in this new position will be today, September 23, 2010. During the course of your employment with the Company, your position and duties are subject to change as the needs of the business may require, including the expected return to your position as Corporate Controller (at your prior salary and bonus levels) upon the hiring of a Chief Financial Officer to replace Mike El-Hillow. Also, you are expected to continue to follow the policies and procedures of the Company, as they may exist and be revised during your employment.

Base Compensation: Your starting gross base compensation will be $9,615.38 per pay period (equivalent to $250,000.00 annually), paid bi-weekly.

Bonus Plan Participation: You will be eligible to participate in the Evergreen Solar Management Incentive Plan. This plan provides you with the target opportunity to earn an annual bonus of 75% of your base salary based on the financial performance of the company and specific departmental goal attainment.

Benefits: As a full-time employee of Evergreen Solar you are eligible for our comprehensive benefits program. This program presently includes medical insurance, disability insurance, life insurance, paid time off (PTO), holiday pay, 401(k) savings plan, and others. Where a particular benefit is subject to a formal plan document or government regulations (for example, medical insurance, 401(k)), eligibility to participate in and receive any particular benefit is governed solely by the applicable plan document. Should you have any questions about the Company’s benefits, please feel free to request a copy of the plan document and/or contact me directly. Evergreen Solar, of course, reserves the right on a prospective basis to modify, change or eliminate its compensation, bonus or benefit programs, at the Company’s sole discretion.

Salary Continuation: Should you be terminated without cause, Evergreen Solar will provide you with salary and benefit continuation, at your then current salary (but no less than the salary outlined in this offer letter) and your then current benefit contribution rate, for a period of six (6) months.

period, you will receive up to an additional six (6) months of salary and benefit continuation (on a month by month basis) provided that you have demonstrated, to the satisfaction of the Company, a good faith effort to become reemployed. Additionally, if you are terminated without cause and the Company paid a year end management bonus (based on annual goals and objectives), you would receive a pro-rated bonus payment, based on your participation level, adjusted for termination/hire date. Timing of the bonus payment would be consistent with the payment to active employees.
