2006 Equity Incentive Plan as Amended

 Exhibit 10.1 
 ENVIRONMENTAL POWER CORPORATION 
 2006 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN 
 1. Purpose. 
 The purpose of this 2006 Equity
Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) of Environmental Power Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), is to advance the interests of the Company’s stockholders by enhancing the Company’s ability to attract, retain and
motivate persons who make (or are expected to make) important contributions to the Company by providing such persons with equity ownership opportunities and performance-based incentives and thereby better aligning the interests of such persons with
those of the Company’s stockholders. Except where the context otherwise requires, the term “Company” shall include any of the Company’s present or future parent or subsidiary corporations as defined in Sections 424(e) or
(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Code”) and any other business venture (including, without limitation, joint venture or limited liability company) in which the
Company has a controlling interest, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”). 
 2. Eligibility. 
 All of the Company’s employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors (including persons who have entered into an agreement with the Company
under which they will be employed by the Company in the future) are eligible to be granted options, restricted stock awards or such other stock-based awards as the Board may approve in accordance with Section 7 (each, an “Award”)
under the Plan. Each person who has been granted an Award under the Plan shall be deemed a “Participant”. 
 3. Administration and
Delegation. 
 (a) Administration by Board of Directors. The Plan will be administered by the Board. The Board shall have authority
to grant Awards and to adopt, amend and repeal such administrative rules, guidelines and practices relating to the Plan as it shall deem advisable. The Board may correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or
any Award in the manner and to the extent it shall deem expedient to carry the Plan into effect and it shall be the sole and final judge of such expediency. All decisions by the Board shall be made in the Board’s sole discretion and shall be
final and binding on all persons having or claiming any interest in the Plan or in any Award. No director or person acting pursuant to the authority delegated by the Board shall be liable for any action or determination relating to or under the Plan
made in good faith. 
 (b) Appointment of Committees. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board may delegate any or
all of its powers under the Plan to one or more committees or subcommittees of the Board (a “Committee”). All references in the Plan to the “Board” shall mean the Board or a Committee of the Board or the officers referred to in
Section 3(c) to the extent that the Board’s powers or authority under the Plan have been delegated to such Committee or officers. 

 (c) Delegation to Officers. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board may delegate to
one or more officers of the Company the power to grant Awards to employees or officers of the Company or any of its present or future subsidiary corporations and to exercise such other powers under the Plan as the Board may determine, provided
that the Board shall fix the terms of the Awards to be granted by such officers (including the exercise price of such Awards, which may include a formula by which the exercise price will be determined) and the maximum number of shares subject to
Awards that the officers may grant; provided further, however, that no officer shall be authorized to grant Awards to any “executive officer” of the Company (as defined by Rule 3b-7 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Exchange Act”)) or to any “officer” of the Company (as defined by Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act). 
 4. Stock
Available for Awards. 
 (a) Number of Shares. Subject to adjustment under Section 8, Awards may be made under the Plan for up
to 300,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”). If any Award expires or is terminated, surrendered or canceled without having been fully exercised or is forfeited in whole or in part
(including as the result of shares of Common Stock subject to such Award being repurchased by the Company at the original issuance price pursuant to a contractual repurchase right) or results in any Common Stock not being issued, the unused Common
Stock covered by such Award shall again be available for the grant of Awards under the Plan, subject, however, in the case of Incentive Stock Options (as hereinafter defined), to any limitations under the Code. Shares issued under the Plan may
consist in whole or in part of authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares. 
 (b) Per-Participant Limit. Subject to adjustment
under Section 8, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which Awards may be granted to any Participant under the Plan shall be 300,000 per calendar year. The per-Participant limit described in this Section 4(b)
shall be construed and applied consistently with Section 162(m) of the Code (“Section 162(m)”). 
 5. Stock Options. 
 (a) General. The Board may grant options to purchase Common Stock (each, an “Option”) and determine the number of shares of Common Stock
to be covered by each Option, the exercise price of each Option and the conditions and limitations applicable to the exercise of each Option, including conditions relating to applicable federal or state securities laws, as it considers necessary or
advisable. An Option that is not intended to be an Incentive Stock Option (as hereinafter defined) shall be designated a “Nonstatutory Stock Option”. 
 (b) Incentive Stock Options. An Option that the Board intends to be an “incentive stock option” as defined in Section 422 of the Code (an “Incentive Stock Option”) shall only be granted
to employees of the Company, any of the Company’s present or 

  

 - 2 - 

 
future parent or subsidiary corporations as defined in Sections 424(e) or (f) of the Code, and any other entities the employees of which are eligible to
receive Incentive Stock Options under the Code and shall be subject to and shall be construed consistently with the requirements of Section 422 of the Code. The Company shall have no liability to a Participant, or any other party, if an Option
(or any part thereof) that is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option is not an Incentive Stock Option. 
 (c) Exercise Price. The
Board shall establish the exercise price at the time each Option is granted and specify it in the applicable option agreement, provided however, that the exercise price shall be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value (as defined below)
of the Common Stock at the time the Option is granted. 
 (d) Duration of Options. Each Option shall be exercisable at such times and
subject to such terms and conditions as the Board may specify in the applicable option agreement, provided, however, that no Option will be granted for a term in excess of 10 years. 
 (e) Exercise of Option. Options may be exercised by delivery to the Company of a written notice of exercise signed by the proper person or by any
other form of notice (including electronic notice) approved by the Board together with payment in full as specified in Section 5(f) for the number of shares for which the Option is exercised. 
 (f) Payment Upon Exercise. Common Stock purchased upon the exercise of an Option granted under the Plan shall be paid for as follows: 

(1) in cash or by check, payable to the order of the Company; 
 (2) except as the Board may, in its sole discretion, otherwise provide in an option agreement, by (i) delivery of an irrevocable and unconditional undertaking by a creditworthy broker to deliver promptly to the
Company sufficient funds to pay the exercise price and any required tax withholding or (ii) delivery by the Participant to the Company of a copy of irrevocable and unconditional instructions to a creditworthy broker to deliver promptly to the
Company cash or a check sufficient to pay the exercise price and any required tax withholding; 
 (3) if provided for in the applicable
Option agreement or approved by the Company in its sole discretion, by delivery of shares of Common Stock owned by the Participant valued at their fair market value as determined by (or in a manner approved by) the Board in good faith (“Fair
Market Value”), provided that (i) such method of payment is then permitted under applicable law, (ii) such Common Stock, if acquired directly from the Company was owned by the Participant at least six months prior to such
delivery and (iii) such Common Stock is not subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting or other similar requirements; 
 (4) if provided for in the applicable Option agreement or approved by the Company in its sole discretion, and not otherwise contrary to applicable law, by (i) delivery of a promissory note of the Participant to the Company on terms
determined by the Board, or (ii) payment of such other lawful consideration as the Board may determine; or 
  

 - 3 - 

 (5) by any combination of the above permitted forms of payment. 
 (g) Substitute Options. In connection with a merger or consolidation of an entity with the Company or the acquisition by the Company of property
or stock of an entity, the Board may grant Options in substitution for any options or other stock or stock-based awards granted by such entity or an affiliate thereof. Substitute Options may be granted on such terms as the Board deems appropriate in
the circumstances, notwithstanding any limitations on Options contained in the other sections of this Section 5 or in Section 2. 
 (h) Repricing of Options. The Board (by vote of a majority of the then non-employee directors, following a recommendation by the Compensation Committee of the Board or any other committee designated by the Board) shall have the
authority, at any time and from time to time, with the consent of the affected Participants, to amend any or all outstanding Options granted under the Plan to provide an Option exercise price per share which may be lower or higher than the original
Option exercise price, and/or cancel any such Options and grant in substitution therefor other Awards, including new Options, covering the same or different numbers of shares of Common Stock having an Option exercise price per share which may be
lower or higher than the exercise price of the canceled Options; provided, however, that the Board may not engage in any such repricing of Options with respect to Options then held by (i) any “executive officer” of the
Company (as defined by Rule 3b-7 under the Exchange Act), (ii) any “officer” of the Company (as defined by Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act) or (iii) any director of the Company. 
 6. Restricted Stock. 
 (a) Grants. The Board
may grant Awards entitling recipients to acquire shares of Common Stock, subject to the right of the Company to repurchase all or part of such shares at their issue price or other stated or formula price (or to require forfeiture of such shares if
issued at no cost) from the recipient in the event that conditions specified by the Board in the applicable Award are not satisfied prior to the end of the applicable restriction period or periods established by the Board for such Award (each, a
“Restricted Stock Award”). Subject to adjustment under Section 8, in no event may the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under this Plan and subject to outstanding Restricted Stock Awards exceed 100,000 at any
given time. 
 (b) Terms and Conditions. The Board shall determine the terms and conditions of any such Restricted Stock Award,
including the conditions for repurchase (or forfeiture) and the issue price, if any. 
 (c) Stock Certificates. Any stock certificates
issued in respect of a Restricted Stock Award shall be registered in the name of the Participant and, unless otherwise determined by the Board, deposited by the Participant, together with a stock power endorsed in blank, with the Company (or its
designee). At the expiration of the applicable restriction periods, the Company (or such designee) 

  

 - 4 - 

 
shall deliver the certificates no longer subject to such restrictions to the Participant or if the Participant has died, to the beneficiary designated, in a
manner determined by the Board, by a Participant to receive amounts due or exercise rights of the Participant in the event of the Participant’s death (the “Designated Beneficiary”). In the absence of an effective designation by a
Participant, Designated Beneficiary shall mean the Participant’s estate. 
 7. Other Stock-Based Awards. The Board shall have the right to grant
other Awards based upon the Common Stock having such terms and conditions as the Board may determine, including the grant of shares based upon certain conditions, the grant of securities convertible into Common Stock, the grant of stock appreciation
rights and other Awards that are comprised of, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or are otherwise based on, shares of Common Stock or other property, may be granted hereunder to Participants (“Other Stock Unit Awards”), including
without limitation Awards entitling recipients to receive shares of Common Stock to be delivered in the future; provided, however, that no Other Stock Unit Awards shall be made unless and until the terms of the Plan and of any such
award are in compliance with Section 409A of the Code. Such Other Stock Unit Awards shall also be available as a form of payment in the settlement of other Awards granted under the Plan or as payment in lieu of compensation to which a
Participant is otherwise entitled. Other Stock Unit Awards may be paid in shares of Common Stock or cash, as the Board shall determine. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Board shall determine the conditions of each Other Stock Unit Awards,
including any purchase price applicable thereto. At the time any Award is granted, the Board may provide that, at the time Common Stock would otherwise be delivered pursuant to the Award, the Participant will instead receive an instrument evidencing
the Participant’s right to future delivery of the Common Stock. 
 8. Adjustments for Changes in Common Stock and Certain Other Events.

 (a) Changes in Capitalization. In the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination
of shares, reclassification of shares, spin-off or other similar change in capitalization or event, or any distribution to holders of Common Stock other than an ordinary cash dividend, (i) the number and class of securities available under this
Plan, (ii) the per-Participant limit set forth in Section 4(b), (iii) the number and class of securities and exercise price per share subject to each outstanding Option, (iv) the per-Participant limit set forth in
Section 4(b), (v) the limit on the number of shares subject to outstanding Restricted Stock Awards set forth in Section 6(a), (vi) the repurchase price per share subject to each outstanding Restricted Stock Award, and
(vii) the share-and per-share-related provisions of each outstanding Stock Appreciation Right and Other Stock Unit Award, shall be appropriately adjusted by the Company (or substituted Awards may be made, if applicable) to the extent the Board
shall determine, in good faith, that such an adjustment (or substitution) is necessary and appropriate. If this Section 8(a) applies and Section 8(c) also applies to any event, Section 8(c) shall be applicable to such event, and this
Section 8(a) shall not be applicable. 
 (b) Liquidation or Dissolution. In the event of a proposed liquidation or dissolution of
the Company, the Board shall, upon written notice to the Participants, provide that all then unexercised Options will (i) become exercisable in full as of a specified time at 

  

 - 5 - 

 
least 10 business days prior to the effective date of such liquidation or dissolution and (ii) terminate effective upon such liquidation or dissolution,
except to the extent exercised before such effective date. The Board may specify the effect of a liquidation or dissolution on any Restricted Stock Award granted under the Plan at the time of the grant. 
 (c) Reorganization Events. 
 (1)
Definition. A “Reorganization Event” shall mean: (a) any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity as a result of which all of the Common Stock of the Company is converted into or exchanged for the
right to receive cash, securities or other property or (b) any exchange of all of the Common Stock of the Company for cash, securities or other property pursuant to a share exchange transaction. 
 (2) Consequences of a Reorganization Event on Options. Upon the occurrence of a Reorganization Event, or the execution by the Company of any
agreement with respect to a Reorganization Event, the Board shall provide that all outstanding Options shall be assumed, or equivalent options shall be substituted, by the acquiring or succeeding corporation (or an affiliate thereof). For purposes
hereof, an Option shall be considered to be assumed if, following consummation of the Reorganization Event, the Option confers the right to purchase, for each share of Common Stock subject to the Option immediately prior to the consummation of the
Reorganization Event, the consideration (whether cash, securities or other property) received as a result of the Reorganization Event by holders of Common Stock for each share of Common Stock held immediately prior to the consummation of the
Reorganization Event (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock); provided, however, that if the consideration
received as a result of the Reorganization Event is not solely common stock of the acquiring or succeeding corporation (or an affiliate thereof), the Company may, with the consent of the acquiring or succeeding corporation, provide for the
consideration to be received upon the exercise of Options to consist solely of common stock of the acquiring or succeeding corporation (or an affiliate thereof) equivalent in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of
outstanding shares of Common Stock as a result of the Reorganization Event. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the acquiring or succeeding
corporation (or an affiliate thereof) does not agree to assume, or substitute for, such Options, then the Board shall, upon written notice to the Participants, provide that all then unexercised Options will become exercisable in full as of a
specified time prior to the Reorganization Event and will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such Reorganization Event, except to the extent exercised by the Participants before the consummation of such Reorganization Event;
provided, however, that in the event of a Reorganization Event under the terms of which holders of Common Stock will receive upon consummation thereof a cash payment for each share of Common Stock surrendered pursuant to such
Reorganization Event (the “Acquisition Price”), then the Board may instead provide that all outstanding Options shall terminate upon consummation of such Reorganization Event and that each Participant shall receive, in exchange therefor, a
cash payment equal to the 

  

 - 6 - 

 
amount (if any) by which (A) the Acquisition Price multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such outstanding Options (whether or
not then exercisable), exceeds (B) the aggregate exercise price of such Options. To the extent all or any portion of an Option becomes exercisable solely as a result of the first sentence of this paragraph, upon exercise of such Option the
Participant shall receive shares subject to a right of repurchase by the Company or its successor at the Option exercise price. Such repurchase right (1) shall lapse at the same rate as the Option would have become exercisable under its terms
and (2) shall not apply to any shares subject to the Option that were exercisable under its terms without regard to the first sentence of this paragraph. 
 (3) Consequences of a Reorganization Event on Restricted Stock Awards. Upon the occurrence of a Reorganization Event, the repurchase and other rights of the Company under each outstanding Restricted Stock Award
shall inure to the benefit of the Company’s successor and shall apply to the cash, securities or other property which the Common Stock was converted into or exchanged for pursuant to such Reorganization Event in the same manner and to the same
extent as they applied to the Common Stock subject to such Restricted Stock Award. 
 9. General Provisions Applicable to Awards 
 (a) Transferability of Awards. Except as the Board may otherwise determine or provide in an Award, Awards shall not be sold, assigned, transferred,
pledged or otherwise encumbered by the person to whom they are granted, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and, during the life of the Participant, shall be exercisable only by the
Participant. References to a Participant, to the extent relevant in the context, shall include references to authorized transferees. 
 (b)
Documentation. Each Award shall be evidenced in such form (written, electronic or otherwise) as the Board shall determine. Such written instrument may be in the form of an agreement signed by the Company and the Participant or a written
confirming memorandum to the Participant from the Company. Each Award may contain terms and conditions in addition to those set forth in the Plan. 
 (c) Board Discretion. Except as otherwise provided by the Plan, each Award may be made alone or in addition or in relation to any other Award. The terms of each Award need not be identical, and the Board need not treat Participants
uniformly. 
 (d) Termination of Status. The Board shall determine the effect on an Award of the disability, death, retirement,
authorized leave of absence or other change in the employment or other status of a Participant and the extent to which, and the period during which, the Participant, the Participant’s legal representative, conservator, guardian or Designated
Beneficiary may exercise rights under the Award. 
 (e) Withholding. Each Participant shall pay to the Company, or make provision
satisfactory to the Board for payment of, any taxes required by law to be withheld in connection with Awards to such Participant no later than the date of the event creating the tax liability. Except as the Board may otherwise provide in an Award,
when the Common Stock is registered under the Exchange Act, 

  

 - 7 - 

 
Participants may satisfy such tax obligations in whole or in part by delivery of shares of Common Stock, including shares retained from the Award creating
the tax obligation, valued at their Fair Market Value; provided, however, that the total tax withholding where stock is being used to satisfy such tax obligations cannot exceed the Company’s minimum statutory withholding
obligations (based on minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income). The Company may, to the extent permitted by law, deduct any such tax
obligations from any payment of any kind otherwise due to a Participant. 
 (f) Amendment of Award. The Board may amend, modify or
terminate any outstanding Award, including but not limited to, substituting therefor another Award of the same or a different type, changing the date of exercise or realization, and converting an Incentive Stock Option to a Nonstatutory Stock
Option, provided that the Participant’s consent to such action shall be required unless the Board determines that the action, taking into account any related action, would not materially and adversely affect the Participant.

 (g) Conditions on Delivery of Stock. The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Plan
or to remove restrictions from shares previously delivered under the Plan until (i) all conditions of the Award have been met or removed to the satisfaction of the Company, (ii) in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, all other legal
matters in connection with the issuance and delivery of such shares have been satisfied, including any applicable securities laws and any applicable stock exchange or stock market rules and regulations, and (iii) the Participant has executed
and delivered to the Company such representations or agreements as the Company may consider appropriate to satisfy the requirements of any applicable laws, rules or regulations. 
 (h) Acceleration. The Board may at any time provide that any Award shall become immediately exercisable in full or in part, free of some or all
restrictions or conditions, or otherwise realizable in full or in part, as the case may be. 
 (i) Deferrals. The Board may permit
Participants to defer receipt of any Common Stock issuable upon exercise of an Option or upon the lapse of any restriction applicable to any Restricted Stock Award, subject to such rules and procedures as it may establish. 
 (j) Share Issuance. To the extent that the Plan provides for issuance of stock certificates to reflect the issuance of shares of Common Stock or
Restricted Stock, the Board may provide for the issuance of such shares on a non-certificated basis, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange on which the Common Stock is traded. 
 10. Miscellaneous 
 (a) No Right To Employment or
Other Status. No person shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award, and the grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to continued employment or any other relationship with the 

  

 - 8 - 

 
Company. The Company expressly reserves the right at any time to dismiss or otherwise terminate its relationship with a Participant free from any liability
or claim under the Plan, except as expressly provided in the applicable Award. 
 (b) No Rights As Stockholder. Subject to the
provisions of the applicable Award, no Participant or Designated Beneficiary shall have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock to be distributed with respect to an Award until becoming the record holder of such
shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Company effects a split of the Common Stock by means of a stock dividend and the exercise price of and the number of shares subject to such Option are adjusted as of the date of the
distribution of the dividend (rather than as of the record date for such dividend), then an optionee who exercises an Option between the record date and the distribution date for such stock dividend shall be entitled to receive, on the distribution
date, the stock dividend with respect to the shares of Common Stock acquired upon such Option exercise, notwithstanding the fact that such shares were not outstanding as of the close of business on the record date for such stock dividend.

 (c) Effective Date and Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective on the date on which it is adopted by the Board, but no Award
granted to a Participant that is intended to comply with Section 162(m) shall become exercisable, vested or realizable, as applicable to such Award, unless and until the Plan has been approved by the Company’s stockholders to the extent
stockholder approval is required by Section 162(m) in the manner required under Section 162(m) (including the vote required under Section 162(m)). No Awards shall be granted under the Plan after the completion of ten years from the
earlier of (i) the date on which the Plan was adopted by the Board or (ii) the date the Plan was approved by the Company’s stockholders, but Awards previously granted may extend beyond that date. 
 (d) Amendment of Plan. The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time, provided that to the
extent required by Section 162(m), no Award granted to a Participant that is intended to comply with Section 162(m) after the date of such amendment shall become exercisable, realizable or vested, as applicable to such Award, unless and
until such amendment shall have been approved by the Company’s stockholders if required by Section 162(m) (including the vote required under Section 162(m)), provided further that, to the extent determined by the
Board, no amendment requiring stockholder approval under any applicable legal, regulatory or listing requirement shall become effective until such stockholder approval is obtained. 
 (e) Governing Law. The provisions of the Plan and all Awards made hereunder shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of
the State of Delaware, without regard to any applicable conflicts of law. 
 Adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation effective as of
March 14, 2006. 
 Approved by the Stockholders of the Corporation on May 3, 2006.
