***Confidential treatment requested pursuant to a request for confidential treatment filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Omitted portions have been filed separately with the Commission. 1 GENERAL INFORMATION 1.1 CONFIDENTIALITY . This specification is subject to the terms as defined within the SEV heads of terms and all subsequent contracts made available to Sensor Tecknik. 1.2 PURPOSE . The Product Design Specification is intended to clearly define the technical requirements and responsibilities which are to be used by the project in the development of the systems, sub- systems and components of the Telematics Project. Due to legacy product complexity and timing challenges a thorough and complete set of information such as information protocols is beyond the scope of this and any single document. Such technical specifics are supplied in separate documents. See Appendices for further information. 1.3 Scope . The scope of this document is compromised by the fact that full DOE data mining and report out is not yet fully understood. It is accepted that further NRE costs will be incurred once this is fully understood and if further HW development is required. Currently PO ref: 3/31/2010-496 covers development of all HW, SW and server specification up to and including Level A and B iterations. o It is envisaged that this specification will cover ALL aspects of the CENEX LCVPP data requirement (subject to satisfactory independent testing) o It is envisaged that this PO will cover SOME aspects of the US DOE data requirement (subject to satisfactory independent testing) . The Server UI, function and report out specification is also beyond the scope of a single document and it has been agreed that this will take place jointly. Verbal exchange, interaction with the UI and direct development is the quickest route to a finalised specification. 1.4 PATENTS, INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, COPYRIGHTS and EXCLUSIVITY . As per all subsequent contracts made available to Sensor Technik.

The supervision of the development of the Telematics project is the responsibility of the SEV Project team. . The RASIC Section defines the allocation of activities between the suppliers and SEV. . It is the responsibility of the supplier to manage and monitor the progress of responsible tasks and to act to protect the program timing when necessary. Together with Smith the Supplier must support and maintain an up to date program log of all actions, planning, costing activities and have this available for the project team to review periodically. Supplier project management resource and some supplier design resource MUST be available on site at SEV UK, Washington as and when the project requires. 2.2 Organisation Chart Telemetry Project Organisation SEV US SEV UK ST – Development Adept Science

Telematics Specification Strictly Confidential Telematics Specification Document - 4 Product Description 4.1 Hero Card 4.2 Concept The system comprises a Remote Device, GPRS network, Server, Web Interface and Storage Unit. The Remote Device (RD) will observe directly defined set of [***], [***]and [***]based signals which will vary dependent upon [***] signal source generator as a function of supplier choice. These signals will then be transmitted via Global Packet Radio Service (GPRS) for handling and display by the server using a Web Interface. The RD shall also determine the operational state of other consumable domestic systems such as HVAC. Figure 1 - System Architecture - [***] based system as example Telemetry Delivers o Improved customer focus, shareholder value, customer service and satisfaction o Increased understanding of vehicle/system performance indicators/parameters o Increased understanding of customer usage profiles o Increased efficiencies in SEV logistics o Warranty Cost Reduction o The foundation for a Saleable Remote Asset Management System o Potential to be used as an EOL Process o Compliance with USA and UK funding body data mining requirements [***]

B-14

Telematics Specification Strictly Confidential Telematics Specification Document - The server side will also store all of this information; associate it with its client side RD and the vehicle for export/analysis in real time and at a later date. The RD will incorporate a data logging device to maintain the minimum requirement that allows a field service Engineer to retrieve data from the vehicle in the event of GPRS network coverage/Server side failure. The system will be transparent to vehicle system, sub-system and component performance and will not impact safety or homologation. 4.3 Active Modes of Operation The RD (client side) will be OFF with zero current draw when the vehicle is switched OFF. The RD will transmit and log in both vehicle charge and discharge modes. 4.4 Server The server side will be always active, regardless of vehicle mode of operation and available to monitor the status of all RDs at all times. This includes access and retrieval of stored data. 4.4.1 Server Security The supplier will provide a statement on server security stating that any and all known standards are complied with. 4.4.2 Data Back-Up and Archiving The capacity of the server should be sufficient to store a minimum of [***] months worth of data for [***] vehicles. The server data shall NEVER be deleted moreover this will be compressed and archived and stored on a different server but will none the less be freely and directly available to SEV US/SEV UK Engineers for immediate analysis. 4.5 Web Interface The web Interface will allow the user to see which RDs are currently active, failed or switched off. Vehicle charge/discharge state etc. The web interface will support the analysis of vehicle system location, vehicle route, vehicle speed statistics and system performance statistics. The interface will support the need to view this data in real time as well as act as the data post-processing front end for stored data. The web interface will be capable of monitoring data in real-time via direct display and also have the ability to produce summary reports and act as an automated End of Line facility. There will be some “core” parameters that apply across all platforms however; due to the different design and specification of existing and potential future systems a “schema” type utility for “mapping” Web Interface displayed items to all of the potential future system performance parameters will be required. Therefore the Web Interface SW must include a means of “adding” and recognising the different vehicle systems and their associated data.

Telematics Specification Strictly Confidential Telematics Specification Document - It is intended to have “carry over” vehicle telemetry HW – employ a “1 kit fits all” philosophy” – however vehicle platform variation means that the server must recognise that the RD is fitted to a particular platform: e.g recognise the difference between Newton and Edison and configure the UI display and all subsequent statistics accordingly. 4.6 User Access Levels User access will be granted by password. The system will have the functionality to add new users and amend access levels. The system currently should afford access to 2 levels of user.

The VAS will replicate the server functionality in its entirety. It will support retrieval of data from the RD via hard-wire link preferably USB. 4.8 Markets and Territories The system components will be certified to ALL required or suitably related automotive and telecommunication standards in USA, UK, South America, Europe, India, China, Hong Kong, Australasia, Arab Nations, South Africa and other emerging markets with a particular emphasis on electromagnetic compatibility. The supplier will provide objective data/statement in support of it’s upholding that the RD is specified with all appropriate automotive EMC standards. 4.9 Service Training Plan and Literature Successful role out will require a plan to train key individuals at a level appropriate to their user access authority. Super User Level: [***] days (assumes user already has expert level of vehicle system knowledge) Fleet Manager Level: [***] days

It has been accepted that UI layout/configuration and complete functionality specification is beyond the scope of this document and this will be developed as the project progresses via reviews/hand drawings etc. 5.3.1 National and Global Network Service Provider Coverage Area Vs Cost The network provider should be sourced as a function of maximum coverage area. It is permissible to use the same provider for all geographical locations if possible. Cost should not be considered as a disabler to coverage. AT&T should be included when consideration is given to sourcing the network provider. A clear statement that confirms that there is sufficient bandwidth and a rapid uplink speed will be required.
