AMENDED AND RESTATED SUPPLY AGREEMENT

This Amended and Restated Supply Agreement (this "Agreement") is made as of November 8, 2010, by and between Fisker Automotive, Inc. ("Fisker") and Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies ("Quantum") sets forth the terms under which Quantum will supply certain components and related services to Fisker for the K1 vehicle program.

This parties agree that this Agreement supersedes, amends and replaces in their entirety the Supply and Licensing LOI dated January 14, 2010 and the Supply Agreement dated February 24, 2010 and executed April 27, 2010 (collectively, the "Prior Agreements") and further agree as follows:

A. Program Awards

  1. K1 Program Award. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Fisker will purchase from Quantum, and Quantum will supply to Fisker, 100% of Fisker's requirements of the components set forth on Exhibit 1 (the "Components") for the K1 Vehicle Program, contingent on meeting Fisker's continued engineering specifications, performance, quality, reliability, durability, total landed costs, and supply chain and delivery requirements. Fisker expects to purchase Components for a minimum volume of 45,000 vehicle sets over the program life of the K1 Vehicle Program.
  2. Competitive Benchmarking and Re-Sourcing. In the event that Fisker reasonably determines that Quantum's supply of the Components is not competitive in terms of engineering specifications, performance, quality, reliability, durability, total landed costs, or supply chain and delivery requirements or determines that Fisker can obtain comparable any component(s) at a cost savings of more than ***%, Fisker shall give Quantum written notice of such competitive deviation (a "Competitive Notice"). As soon as possible following such Competitive Notice, Quantum shall present a commercially reasonable plan to Fisker to close the competitive gap within 120 days of the Competitive Notice. In the event that the competitive gap is not, in fact, closed within 120 days of the Competitive Notice, Fisker shall, thereafter, have the right to immediately re-source any or all the Components, at Fisker's sole discretion, without any liability under this Agreement.
  3. Future Programs. Fisker is in the process of developing future vehicle programs for which the supply of powertrain development and engineering services and powertrain components will be competitively bid. Provided that Quantum has timely completed all development work for the K1 program pursuant to applicable existing agreements (the "K1 Development Work") and is not in default under this Agreement:
    1. Fisker will notify Quantum and provide Quantum with the opportunity to bid and quote on the N1 phase 1 powertrain development as well as all other powertrain development, engineering, testing and similar service contracts for these future programs on an equal basis as all other potential service suppliers.
    2. Fisker will notify Quantum and provide Quantum with the opportunity to quote on the N1 hybrid controller as well as any other mutually agreed-upon powertrain components for these future programs on an equal basis as all other potential component suppliers. In the event that Quantum submits a bid and it is determined by Fisker that other bids are more qualified and competitive than the Quantum bid, Quantum shall have 30 days to match the target cost, technical, engineering, quality, and delivery performance of the more competitive offers. If Fisker reasonably determines that Quantum is able to match the competitive offers, then Quantum will be awarded the production program, subject to a competitive benchmarking and re-sourcing provision as set forth in Section 2 above.

B. Intellectual Property & Licensing

  1. In connection with the K1 Development Work and the supply of Components under this Agreement, Quantum and Fisker have, in collaboration and separately, utilized and developed a variety of existing and new software (including source codes, diagrams, compile and link script diagrams, etc), know-how, inventions, developments, concepts, ideas, improvements, designs, processes, procedures, data, models and know-how (collectively "Technology").
  2. Quantum acknowledges and agrees that Fisker owns all Technology related to the K1 Vehicle Program, excluding Quantum Core Software (defined below) but including modifications to Quantum Core Software made in connection with the K1 Vehicle Program (collectively, "Fisker Technology"). Fisker Technology may not be used, altered, modified or licensed by Quantum for any purpose other than the supply of components and services to Fisker without Fisker's express prior written approval. Fisker may allow other use of Fisker Technology by Quantum or any third parties under licensing and/or royalty agreements at Fisker's sole and absolute discretion.
  3. Fisker acknowledges and agrees that Quantum owns its core software which can be demonstrated (i.e., through time stamps) to have been funded internally by Quantum as part of a core Quantum R&D activity and not developed and owned by other clients ("Quantum Core Software").

Fisker reserves the right to use all or part of the Quantum Core software in connection with future vehicle programs provided that, at the time, Fisker will, in conjunction with Quantum, establish an appropriate royalty and/or service fee structure for such use of Quantum Core Software.
  4. In connection with the K1 Development Work and this Agreement, Fisker requires that modular software development processes be used. In addition, Fisker reserves the right to further review, at Quantum's facilities, Quantum's software development processes and source code to ensure that it meets Fisker's software quality development requirements. In addition, all software modules in object form must include: interface specifications; calibration tables and software control interface documentation, including software build documentation; complier and linker; and supplier and revision levels including software build scripts and schedules. Further, Fisker will either internally, with other suppliers (covered by mutual non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements), or possibly through Quantum, purchase, specify, or develop new functionality and software consistent with market forces indicating the highest value for Fisker. Any changes in functionality will be defined in a Software Change Request (SCR) and considered a modification to the existing Statement of Work. No software functionality changes shall be made without written approval from Fisker.
  5. All Fisker engineering integration, testing, validation, specifications, sourcing strategies, and modifications to hardware are solely owned by Fisker and may not be disclosed, released, used or distributed by Quantum without the express prior written consent of Fisker.
