Hydrogenics Announces Termination of Manufacturing and Supply Agreement With APC

MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO, CANADA - July 22, 2009 - Hydrogenics Corporation, a leading developer and manufacturer of hydrogen generation and fuel cell products, announces that it has formally notified American Power Conversion Corporation ("APC") of the termination of the manufacturing and supply agreement (the "Supply Agreement") dated August 9, 2006 between Hydrogenics and APC.

The Supply Agreement provided that APC would purchase up to 500 HyPM XR 12 kW Fuel Cell Power Modules from Hydrogenics for integration into APC's NCPI solutions, specifically its InfraStruXure architecture, over a three year period, subject to the terms of the Supply Agreement. In the notice of termination, Hydrogenics has requested a termination payment of approximately US$2.1 million by APC, as determined by a formula in the Supply Agreement based on the number of products for which APC has issued orders and paid for under the Supply Agreement.

"We remain committed to working with APC towards an amicable resolution of APC's obligations under the Supply Agreement," said Daryl Wilson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hydrogenics. "We strongly believe that despite the termination of the Supply Agreement, our independent efforts over the past three years have resulted in the development of significant expertise and know-how, which will allow us to build upon and benefit other fuel cell products, applications and solutions."
