Stock Purchase Agreement

Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement and concurrently with entering into such agreement, the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of (i) Neeltran, Inc., a Connecticut corporation (“Neeltran”) that supplies rectifiers and transformers to industrial customers, and (ii) Neeltran International, Inc., a Connecticut corporation (“International”), for: (a) $1.0 million in cash, and (b) 301,556 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share (“AMSC Shares”), that were paid and issued to the Neeltran, Inc. Selling Stockholders, respectively, at closing. The Company also paid $1.1 million to Capanna, Sr. and Capanna, Jr. at closing to pay off previous loans made by them to Neeltran.

Additionally, the Company paid approximately $7.6 million, including $1.9 million of indebtedness secured by the mortgage on the real property as described below, directly to Neeltran lenders at closing to extinguish outstanding Neeltran indebtedness to third parties.

Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company is obligated to file either (i) a new registration statement, or (ii) a prospectus supplement to an already effective Company registration statement, covering the resale of the AMSC Shares by the Neeltran, Inc. Selling Stockholders no later than ten business days following the closing, and in the case of a new registration statement, to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as soon as practicable thereafter. In the event that a new registration statement has not been declared effective by the SEC, or a prospectus supplement to an already effective Company registration statement has not been filed, as the case may be, within thirty days following the closing, the Company is obligated to pay, no later than the date that is forty-five days after the closing, an amount in cash equal to the purchase price originally paid in AMSC Shares (the “Cash Payment”) and the Neeltran, Inc. Selling Stockholders shall furnish to the Company all documentation as reasonably requested by the Company for the cancellation of the AMSC Shares.

Real Property Purchase Agreement

Pursuant to the terms of the Real Property Purchase Agreement and concurrently with entering into such agreement, AMSC Husky purchased the real property that serves as Neeltran’s headquarters for $4.3 million, of which (a) $2.4 million was paid in immediately available funds by AMSC Husky to the RE Selling Parties, and (b) $1.9 million was paid directly to TD Bank as full payment for the outstanding indebtedness secured by the mortgage on such real property.

The Purchase Agreements also contain customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities.

The AMSC Shares issued to the Neeltran, Inc. Selling Stockholders were issued in reliance on the exemption from the registration provisions of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), relating to sales by an issuer not involving any public offering.

The sale of the AMSC Shares pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement has not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws. The AMSC Shares may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws. This Current Report on Form 8-K is not an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy shares of common stock or other securities of the Company.

The foregoing descriptions of the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Real Property Purchase Agreement are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, copies of which are filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

If the Stockholder determines that disclosure of such information is required by applicable Law, the Stockholder shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, give notice of such disclosure to Buyer and consult and cooperate with Buyer with respect thereto to obtain appropriate confidential treatment, if available, of such information as Buyer may reasonably request, and in any event, only disclose such portion of such data or information as may be required by such Law.

The covenants contained in this Section 5.2 and each provision hereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant or provision as written shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants or provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such covenant or provision in any other jurisdiction.

Within twenty (20) days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such Third Party Action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided, that (i) the Indemnifying Party may only assume control of such defense if (A) it acknowledges in writing to the Indemnified Party that any damages, fines, costs or other liabilities that may be assessed against the Indemnified Party in connection with such Third Party Action constitute Damages for which the Indemnified Party shall be indemnified pursuant to this Article VI and (B) the ad damnum is less than or equal to the amount of Damages for which the Indemnifying Party is liable under this Article VI and (ii) the Indemnifying Party may not assume control of the defense of any Third Party Action (A) asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier or customer of the Acquired Companies, (B) involving criminal liability, (C) in which equitable relief is sought against the Indemnified Party or (D) that gives rise to a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party which cannot be waived.

The Non-controlling Party may participate in such defense at its own expense (subject to the provisions of this Section 6.3(a)). The Controlling Party shall keep the Non-controlling Party advised of the status of such Third Party Action and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the Non-controlling Party with respect thereto. The Non-controlling Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to furnish the Controlling Party with such information as it may have with respect to such Third Party Action (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on such party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and shall otherwise reasonably cooperate with and assist the Controlling Party in the defense of such Third Party Action.

(d) During the thirty (30)-day period following the delivery of a Response that reflects a Dispute, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall use good faith efforts to resolve the Dispute. If the Parties are unable to resolve the Dispute within such thirty (30)-day period, the Dispute will be submitted to arbitration in accordance with Section 6.3(e). If the Indemnified Party is the Buyer and is seeking to enforce the claim that is the subject of the Dispute pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, promptly following resolution of the Dispute (whether by mutual agreement, arbitration or otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), a written notice executed by the Buyer and each Seller Party instructing the Escrow Agent as to what (if any) portion of the funds subject to the Escrow Agreement shall be disbursed to the Buyer and/or the Seller Parties, as applicable (which notice shall be consistent with the terms or the resolution of the Dispute).

46

(e) Either the Buyer or any Seller Party may submit an unresolved Dispute referred to in Section 6.3(d) to arbitration by notifying the other Party, in writing, of such unresolved Dispute. Within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice, the Buyer and the Seller Parties shall designate in writing one arbitrator to resolve the Dispute; provided, that if the Parties cannot agree on an arbitrator within such ten (10)-day period, the arbitrator shall be selected by the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator so designated shall not be an employee, consultant, officer, director or stockholder of any Party or any Affiliate of any Party. Within fifteen (15) days after the designation of the arbitrator, the arbitrator, the Buyer and the Seller Parties shall meet, at which time the Buyer and the Seller Parties shall be required to set forth in writing all issues and a proposed ruling on each such issue with respect to the Dispute. The arbitrator shall set a date for a hearing, which shall be no later than thirty (30) days after the submission of written proposals pursuant to this subsection, to discuss each of the issues identified by the Buyer and the Seller Parties relating to the Dispute. Each Party shall have the right to be represented by counsel. The arbitration shall be governed by the rules of the American Arbitration Association; provided, that the arbitrator shall have sole discretion with regard to the admissibility of evidence. The arbitrator shall use its best efforts to rule on the Dispute within thirty (30) days after the completion of the hearings described above. The determination of the arbitrator as to the resolution of any Dispute shall be binding and conclusive upon each Party. All rulings of the arbitrator shall be in writing and shall be delivered to the Parties. The prevailing Party in any arbitration shall be entitled to an award of reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the arbitration. The non-prevailing Party shall pay such fees, together with the fees of the arbitrator and the costs and expenses of the arbitration. Any arbitration pursuant to this Section 6.3(e) shall be conducted in Boston, Massachusetts. Any arbitration award may be entered in and enforced by any court having jurisdiction thereover and the Parties hereby consent and commit themselves to the jurisdiction of any state or U.S. Federal court sitting in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for purposes of the enforcement of any arbitration award.

(f) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 6.3, if a third party asserts (other than by means of a lawsuit) that an Indemnified Party is liable to such third party for a monetary or other obligation which may constitute or result in Damages for which such Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VI, and such Indemnified Party reasonably determines that it has a valid business reason to fulfill such obligation, then (i) such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to satisfy such obligation, without prior notice to or consent from the Indemnifying Party, (ii) such Indemnified Party may subsequently make a claim for indemnification in accordance with the provisions of this Article VI, and (iii) such Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed, in accordance with the provisions of this Article VI, for any such Damages for which it is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VI (subject to the right of the Indemnifying Party to dispute the Indemnified Party’s entitlement to indemnification, or the amount for which it is entitled to indemnification, under the terms of this Article VI).

If an Indemnified Party delivers to an Indemnifying Party, before expiration of a representation or warranty, either a Claim Notice based upon a breach of such representation or warranty, or an Expected Claim Notice based upon a breach of such representation or warranty, then the applicable representation or warranty shall survive until, but only for purposes of, the resolution of the matter covered by such notice. If the legal proceeding or written claim with respect to which an Expected Claim Notice has been given is definitively withdrawn or resolved in favor of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall promptly so notify the Indemnifying Party, and if the Indemnified Party has delivered a copy of the Expected Claim Notice to the Escrow Agent and funds have been retained in escrow after the Termination Date (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) with respect to such Expected Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver to the Escrow Agent a written notice executed by the Buyer and each Seller Party instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse such retained funds to the Seller Parties, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

Certifying Party shall comply with all requirements of the Transfer Act as transferor and Certifying Party under the Form III RE Filing, at its sole cost and expense, including but not limited to the completion of any investigation and/or remediation required by the Transfer Act in accordance with the Connecticut Remediation Standard Regulations, R.C.S.A. §§ 22a-133k-1 – 3 (as amended) (“RSRs”) under the direction of Russell J. Dirienzo, LEP #129, of Arcadis, Inc. Certifying Party shall be entitled to record an Environmental Use Restriction, as that term is defined in the Connecticut Environmental Use Restriction Regulations, R.C.S.A. §§ 22a-133q-1 – 9 (as amended) (“EUR”), for the purpose of restricting residential use at 71 Pickett District Road, to assist with compliance with the Transfer Act as determined by the Certifying Party’s LEP, at the Company Stockholders’ and Certifying Party’s sole cost and expense, and at no cost to Buyer, except that Purchaser shall be responsible at its sole cost and expense to pay for its own LEP or attorneys to conduct its own independent review of the EUR and associated documents and the costs associated with securing any subordinations of any interests created at or after Closing, necessary for the proposed EUR. Certifying Party, at its sole cost and expense, shall make its LEP available for questions or comments on the proposed EUR, to the extent reasonable. Certifying Party shall be required to secure Purchaser’s written approval to utilize any other EUR, which approval shall be in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion, except in the event that the Parties in their reasonable discretion agree that Certifying Party is unable to comply with the Transfer Act without use and recording of a groundwater use restriction and/or a restriction rendering soil environmentally isolated, in which case Purchaser’s approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Seller, the Company Stockholders, and Certifying Party shall comply with all DEEP submission requirements of the Transfer Act in compliance with the timeframes and standards required under the Transfer Act. Upon completion of Certifying Party’s investigation and any required remediation under the Form III RE Filing and the Form III Business Filing, Certifying Party shall submit Verifications for both the Form III RE Filing and the Form III Business Filing to the Commissioner of DEEP, prepared by its LEP, as required by and in compliance with the timeframes and standards required under the Transfer Act. If the Commissioner of DEEP conducts an audit of the Verifications, Seller, the Company Stockholders, and Certifying Party shall fully comply with the requirements of the audit such that the audit is successfully completed and the Verifications are accepted by the Commissioner of DEEP (collectively the “TA Obligations”). Purchaser agrees that Certifying Party and the respective transferors under both the Form III RE Filing and the Form III Business Filing shall have completed the TA Obligations hereunder after submission of its Verification, upon the earlier to occur of (i) the issuance of a No Audit Stamp of the Verifications from DEEP; (ii) the successful completion of any DEEP audit of the Verifications, confirmed in writing by DEEP; (iii) the expiration of the statutory audit timeframe which is currently one (1) year from the date of submission of the Verifications, in the event DEEP does not initiate an audit within the audit timeframe; or (iv) the date of receipt of a written approval of the investigation and remediation by the Commissioner of DEEP, if required (the “TA Completion Date”) Certifying Party shall provide draft copies of any and all reports, forms, correspondence, applications, EURs, or documents proposed to be submitted to DEEP, to Purchaser at least fifteen (15) business days in advance of submission to DEEP, for Purchaser’s review and comment. Certifying Party agrees to work in good faith with Purchaser to integrate Purchaser’s comments into such reports or documents before filing, but only to the extent Certifying Party’s LEP determines said comments are reasonable.

11

Following the Closing, Purchaser covenants and agrees on behalf of itself and its heirs, successors and assigns, to cooperate with the Certifying Party with regard to the Certifying Party’s performance of the TA Obligations, in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Post Closing Environmental Remediation and Site Access Agreement, set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto and made a part hereof, to be executed by all Parties at Closing and recorded on the Land Records together with Deed. Such cooperation includes without limitation: (i) signing as the grantor any EUR to be recorded for 71 Pickett District Road in accordance with the terms of the foregoing paragraph, recording such EUR on the New Milford Land Records and providing proof of recording to the Certifying Party, and complying with all requirements of such EUR as the Property owner after the filing of the EUR on the land records including any requirements under the EUR Regulations; (ii) providing the Certifying Party, and/or its agents, consultants, LEP, contractors or subcontractors access to the Property in accordance with the Post Closing Environmental Remediation and Site Access Agreement to allow Certifying Party to complete its TA Obligations; (iii) providing assurances at Closing that the Purchaser shall ensure that the holder of any interest created at or after Closing shall agree to subordinate such interest, if necessary, to any EUR to be recorded for 71 Pickett District Road in accordance with the terms of the foregoing paragraph, including securing any such subordination agreements, if required, until such time as the EUR is approved and ready to be filed on the land records; and (iv) until the occurrence of the TA Completion Date, assuming the liability, duty and responsibility for compliance with applicable Environmental Law arising from the Release of Hazardous Materials and/or Materials of Concern to the extent caused or created by Buyer and/or Tenant after Closing on, about, under, or emanating from the TA Property. This covenant shall survive the Closing contemplated hereby.

B. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Seller has allowed Purchaser to inspect fully the Property and investigate all matters relevant thereto, including without limitation, environmental matters. Purchaser has conducted a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment and limited environmental sampling of the Property, determined in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion. Seller has made available to Purchaser copies of Seller’s Environmental Reports in its possession, custody, or control relating to the environmental condition of the Property, and has provided Purchaser with an opportunity to discuss the environmental conditions of the Property with Certifying Party’s LEP, in order to facilitate the transfer of the Property, said Seller’s Environmental Reports being provided for informational purposes only, without making any representations or warranties with respect to the accuracy, methodology of preparation, completeness, ability to rely there upon, or otherwise concerning the contents of such reports.

C. Subject to Section 9.1D below and except as otherwise set forth in the Post-Closing Environmental Remediation and Site Access Agreement, Seller covenants and agrees to release, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives and independent contractors from and against any and all liabilities, claims, demands, damages, costs, losses, fines, fees, suits, actions, and expenses of any kind or nature, for any liabilities arising out of the Transfer Act, as applicable to the transfer of 71 Pickett District Road contemplated by this Agreement.

12

D. Certifying Party’s obligation to comply with the Transfer Act pursuant to this Article 9 shall not extend to any actions required or liability because of environmental conditions (1) first occurring at the Property after the Closing and not caused by Seller or those claiming by, through or under Seller, and/or (2) resulting from activities (other than activities by Seller or those claiming by, through or under Seller) at the Property after the Closing.

E. Seller represents that the real property known as 115 Pickett District Road, New Milford, Connecticut is not an Establishment, and therefore, no filing is required to be made under the Transfer Act at Closing.

F. The obligations, terms and conditions contained in this Article 9 shall expressly survive the Closing.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that if any claim could be brought under this Agreement against the Seller, or under the Stock Purchase Agreement against the Stockholders (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement), then AMSC, on behalf of itself and its affiliates (including Purchaser), shall be permitted to bring any such claim against all of the Selling Parties (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement), and all of the Selling Parties shall be jointly and severally liable for any and all Damages resulting from any such claim.

FIXTURES, EQUIPMENT, AND OTHER ITEMS ON PROPERTY

The Parties acknowledge that the fixtures, equipment, and other items listed on Exhibit E attached hereto are situated on the Property.

Seller represents that it is the owner of such fixtures, equipment, and other items listed on Exhibit E, free and clear of any liens and encumbrances. To the extent the items listed on Exhibit E are considered personal property, as opposed to fixtures and therefore part of the Property, Seller shall execute a Bill of Sale conveying to Purchaser at Closing all of Seller’s right, title and interest in such items of personal property. Purchaser agrees that it shall accept ownership of such items of personal property as of the Closing, in its “as is” condition, as of the Closing.
