Re: Initial Public Offering

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned stockholder and director of Green Energy Acquisition Corporation (“Company”), in consideration of SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc., individually, and as representative of the underwriters (the “Underwriter”) agreeing to underwrite an initial public offering (“IPO”) of the Company’s units (“Units”), each comprised of one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), and one warrant exercisable for one share of Common Stock (“Warrant”), and embarking on the IPO process, hereby agrees as follows (certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in paragraph 18 hereof):

1. If the Company solicits approval of its stockholders of a Business Combination, the undersigned will (i) vote all Insider Shares beneficially owned by such person in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the holders of the IPO Shares and (ii) vote any shares of Common Stock acquired following or in the IPO in favor of the Business Combination.

2. In the event that the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within 24 months after the consummation of the IPO (the “Effective Date”), the undersigned will (i) cause the Trust Account to be liquidated and distributed to the holders of IPO Shares and (ii) take all reasonable actions within his power to cause the Company to liquidate as soon as reasonably practicable. The undersigned hereby waives any and all right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any distribution of the Trust Account and any remaining net assets of the Company as a result of such liquidation with respect to the Insider Shares beneficially owned by him (“Claim”) and hereby waives any Claim the undersigned may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any contracts or agreements with the Company and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever. The undersigned hereby agrees that the Company shall be entitled to reimbursement from the undersigned for any distribution of the Trust Account, or any other amounts distributed by the Company in connection with a liquidating distribution, received by the undersigned in respect of the undersigned’s Insider Shares.

3. In order to minimize potential conflicts of interest that may arise from multiple affiliations, the undersigned agrees to present to the Company for its consideration, prior to presentation to any other person or entity, any opportunity to acquire an operating business in the renewable energy industry with an enterprise value greater than 70% of the value of the amount in the Trust Account, until the earliest of the consummation by the Company of a Business Combination, the liquidation of the Company or until such time as the undersigned ceases to be a director of the Company, subject to any pre-existing fiduciary and contractual obligations the undersigned might have. The undersigned also agrees not to (i) pursue such a business combination opportunity described above, separate from the Company, unless and until the Board of Directors of the Company, acting by a majority of disinterested, independent directors, has determined that the Company will not pursue such business combination opportunity or (ii) enter into a similar agreement with another entity that may conflict with the undersigned's obligations pursuant to this paragraph.

4. The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that in the event that the Company consummates a Business Combination that involves a company that is affiliated with any of the Insiders, the Company will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm that may or may not be a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. that the Business Combination is fair to the Company’s unaffiliated stockholders from a financial perspective.

5. Neither the undersigned, nor any affiliate of the undersigned (“Affiliate”), shall be entitled to receive, and will not accept, any compensation for services rendered to the Company prior to, or in connection with, the consummation of the Business Combination except as disclosed in the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-[___]).

6. The undersigned agrees that none of the undersigned, any member of the immediate family of the undersigned or any Affiliate of the undersigned will be entitled to receive or accept, and the undersigned, on behalf of the undersigned and the aforementioned parties, hereby waives any rights to, a finder’s fee or any other compensation in the event the undersigned, any member of the immediate family of the undersigned or any Affiliate of the undersigned originates a Business Combination.

7. The undersigned will escrow all of the Insider Shares beneficially owned by him acquired prior to the IPO until one year after the consummation by the Company of a Business Combination, or earlier if, following a Business Combination, (i) the last sales price of the Company’s Common Stock equals or exceeds $14.25 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30-day trading period commencing 90 days after the consummation of the initial Business Combination or (ii) the Company consummates a transaction after the consummation of the initial Business Combination that results in all of the stockholders of the combined entity having the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities or other property, subject to the terms of a stock escrow agreement that the Company will enter into with the undersigned and an escrow agent acceptable to the Company.

8. The undersigned agrees to be a member of the Board of Directors of the Company until the earlier of the consummation by the Company of a Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company. The undersigned’s biographical information furnished to the Company and the Underwriter and attached hereto as Exhibit A is true and accurate in all respects, does not omit any material information with respect to the undersigned’s background and contains all of the information required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 401 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The undersigned’s questionnaire furnished to the Company and the Underwriter, and attached hereto as Exhibit B, is true and accurate in all respects. The undersigned further represents and warrants to the Company and the Underwriter that:

(a) The undersigned is not subject to or a respondent in any legal action for, any injunction, cease-and-desist order or order or stipulation to desist or refrain from any act or practice relating to the offering of securities in any jurisdiction;

(b) The undersigned has never been convicted of or pleaded guilty to any crime (i) involving any fraud or (ii) relating to any financial transaction or handling of funds of another person, or (iii) pertaining to any dealings in any securities and such person is not currently a defendant in any such criminal proceeding; and

11. The undersigned hereby waives his right to exercise conversion rights with respect to any shares of the Company’s Common Stock owned or to be owned by the undersigned, directly or indirectly, and agrees that he will not seek conversion with respect to such shares in connection with any vote to approve a Business Combination.

12. The undersigned hereby agrees to not propose, or vote in favor of, any amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to extend the period of time in which the Company must consummate a Business Combination prior to its liquidation. This paragraph may not be modified or amended under any circumstances.

13. The undersigned shall not (x) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or, except as provided in that certain Registration Rights Agreement dated as of the date hereof pertaining to the Insider Shares of the undersigned, file (or participate in the filing of) a registration statement with the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in respect of, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder with respect to, any Insider Shares, (y) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of Insider Shares, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of shares of Common Stock, in cash or otherwise, or (z) publicly announce an intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (x) or (y) until the first anniversary of an initial Business Combination, or earlier if, following a Business Combination, the Company consummates a transaction that results in all of its stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities or other property (the “Lock-Up Period”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may transfer the undersigned’s Insider Shares during the applicable Lock-Up Period (i) to persons or entities controlling, controlled by, or under common control with such person or entity, or to any stockholder, member, partner or limited partner of such person or entity, (ii) to family members and trusts of permitted assignees for estate planning purposes or, upon the death of an escrow depositor, to an estate or beneficiaries of permitted assignees, or (iii) by private sales made in compliance with applicable securities laws at or prior to the consummation of a Business Combination at prices no greater than the price at which the Insider Shares were originally purchased; in each case, such transferees will be subject to the same transfer restrictions until after the Company completes its initial Business Combination, provided, however, that the permissive transfers pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) may be implemented only upon the respective transferee’s written agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this letter agreement.

15. The undersigned acknowledges and understands that the Underwriter and the Company will rely upon the agreements, representations and warranties set forth herein in proceeding with the IPO. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to render the Underwriter a representative of, or a fiduciary with respect to, the Company, its stockholders, or any creditor or vendor of the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof.

16. This letter agreement shall be governed by, and interpreted and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts formed and to be performed entirely within the State of New York, without regard to the conflicts of law provisions thereof to the extent such principles and rules would require or permit the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. The undersigned hereby agrees that any action, proceeding or claim against the undersigned arising out of or relating in any way to this letter agreement shall be brought and enforced in the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and irrevocably submits to such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction shall be exclusive. The undersigned hereby waives any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction and agrees not to object to such jurisdiction on the grounds that such courts represent an inconvenient forum.
