 a. All technology and inventions jointly developed by WR and
Comverge, other than technology and inventions pertaining to Customized Thermostats (WR Intellectual Property) and Communication Modules (Comverge Intellectual Property) as provided for above, will be jointly owned by WR and Comverge and WR and
Comverge may freely and separately exploit any such technology and inventions for their own use (including, but not limited to, using the jointly-owned technology and inventions to manufacture products and/or incorporating the jointly-owned
technology and inventions into products, in each case for sale to third parties) without obligation to each other. However, if either Party licenses the jointly owned technology and inventions to an unrelated person or entity, other than by a
license incident to the sale of the Party’s products to that person or entity, then the licensing Party will pay to the other Party a royalty in the amount of the lesser of $*** per unit ***% of the sale price of any individual unit that
incorporates the jointly developed technology. The licensing Party shall provide written quarterly reports to the other party regarding the licensing Party’s license deals. 
 b. The Parties agree to meet to discuss in good faith the filing of patent applications on any jointly-developed inventions. If the
Parties cannot agree on a filing strategy, either Party may, at its own expense, initiate the preparation of a patent application on any jointly-developed inventions, and the Parties shall cooperate in the preparation and filing of the application.
In the event the Parties agree to the filing of a patent application, the Parties will share all filing expenses equally. Each Party will be named as co-inventor and/or co-assignee to each patent described herein. The Party initiating the
preparation of a patent application shall circulate a draft of all papers, marked as Confidential, prior to filing, and shall promptly provide the other Party with copies of all correspondence to and from the various patent offices. The Party
initiating the preparation shall endeavor to take into account input timely received from the other Party. 
 c. The Parties
agree to meet to discuss any infringement of any Intellectual Property Rights in any jointly-developed invention. If the Parties cannot agree on the prosecution of such infringements, either Party may, at its own expense, initiate an infringement
action. The non-initiating Party agrees to join in such action as required by law. Any recovery or settlement from such action shall go first to reimbursing each Party for the expenses incurred by it in prosecuting the infringement, and any excess
shall be divided equally between the Parties. 
 2.7 Patent Applications. Neither Party shall have any duty or obligation to the other
Party to apply for any patents to protect any invention(s) that result from their respective development activities pertaining to the Customized Thermostats or the Communication Modules. However, for so long as this Agreement remains effective
(including any renewal terms), WR will have a non-assignable, non-transferable license to use Communication Module IP, and Comverge will have a non-assignable, non-transferable license to use Thermostat IP, where such is necessary for a Party to
perform its obligations hereunder or fully enjoy its rights hereunder.

 2.8 Intellectual Property Rights Infringement. In the event any Intellectual Property Rights are
obtained by either Party in connection with their respective developments of the Customized Thermostats or the Communication Modules, the Parties will cooperate to police infringement of any such Intellectual Property Rights and will promptly notify
each other of any actual or suspected infringement(s) of which they become aware. If and when any such infringement is determined by either Party to exist, the Party owning such Intellectual Property Rights will have the sole right to take action
against and control any action against the infringer(s), including filing suit if such Party deems such action appropriate. If the Party owning the Intellectual Property Rights chooses not to exercise such rights and the infringing product is being
used as part of an integrated thermostat and communications module competitive with the integrated Customized Thermostat/Communication Module product, the other Party may take action against the infringer, to the extent such infringement affects the
rights of the other Party, after first obtaining the written consent do so of the owning Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. For purposes of the preceding sentence, without otherwise affecting the meaning of the phrase
“unreasonably withheld”: (i) it shall not be unreasonable for the owning Party to withhold consent if the alleged infringer is either (A) a customer of the owning Party or any affiliate of the owning patty or (B) an
affiliate of the owning Party; and (ii) it shall be unreasonable for the owning Party to withhold consent solely because it does not want to spend money to prosecute or assist in the prosecution of such suit. Each Party will, at all times,
cooperate with the other Party in connection with any such suspected or actual infringement, including agreeing to be named as a party in any such infringement lawsuit where joinder of such Party is necessary or deemed appropriate by the other
Party. Where, pursuant to this right, the Party owning the Intellectual Property Rights elects in any given instance to file suit against an infringer, such Party will do so at its own cost and expense and, thus, be entitled to keep for itself any
recovery derived therefrom. 
 ARTICLE 3 – TESTING AND FINAL ACCEPTANCE

Moreover, if (A) the purchase volume per Measurement Year (based on Customized Thermostats shipped by WR to Comverge during that year) is reduced by Comverge below the applicable volume set forth in the applicable Thermostat Unique Attachment
for any reason other than force majeure (as described in Article 26) or in connection with a warranty claim that aggregate failure rates of such Customized Thermostat exceed 2% during the then-most-recent twelve-month period (as
verified by WR), or (B) Comverge breaches its exclusivity obligations under Article 6.3, WR shall have the option of terminating Comverge as its exclusive reseller of Customized Thermostats to North American Utilities by
giving Comverge at least five (5) days written notice of such termination. Termination of Comverge as exclusive reseller pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall not be construed as a termination for cause pursuant to Article
8.2 and shall not modify or cancel any other provisions of this Agreement. 
  

 9 

 6.3 Exclusive Source. For each model of Customized Thermostat, beginning on the date of Final
Acceptance of the relevant PTU’s and continuing as long as Comverge is WR’s exclusive reseller of that Customized Thermostat, Comverge will purchase all of its requirements for that Customized Thermostat and Equivalent Thermostats (as
defined below) exclusively from WR. Moreover, Comverge will not engage in discussions or negotiations with other persons or entities for purposes of obtaining Customized Thermostats or Equivalent Thermostats from any source other than WR during such
period of time; provided, however, Comverge shall not be prohibited from entering into such discussions or negotiations if Comverge rejects the applicable PTU’s pursuant to Article 3.4 or the Customized Thermostats encounter
warranty claims of aggregate failure rates in excess of 2% during the then-most-recent twelve-month period (as verified by WR). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Comverge may: (i) honor contractual obligations in existence on the date of Final
Acceptance to purchase Equivalent Thermostats from other suppliers; and (ii) honor existing relationships with any of the customers listed in Exhibit A by supplying them with Equivalent Thermostats purchased from other suppliers, but
only if the applicable customer listed in Exhibit A specifically requests or requires that Comverge supply Equivalent Thermostats; provided, however, that Comverge shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promote the sale of Customized
Thermostats to such customers. “Equivalent Thermostats” means thermostats that have the same or substantially similar application and/or function as do the Customized Thermostats. 
 6.4 If the parties agree in the future that WR (instead of Comverge) will sell the integrated Customized Thermostat/Communication Module product,
the Parties will, in good faith, negotiate mutually agreeable, appropriate amendments to this Article 6. 
 ARTICLE 7
– BRANDING 
 Customized Thermostats purchased by Comverge pursuant to this Agreement shall carry the “White-Rodgers”
brand name and trademark, and/or such other brand name and trademark as WR may specify, in the form, manner, and placement as WR shall determine in its sole discretion. With WR’s prior approval, Comverge and Comverge’s customer may be
permitted to place additional brand names and trademarks on Customized Thermostats. Any use of the WR brand and trademarks will, however, be governed by a license (separate from this Agreement) signed by WR and any other party authorized to use the
WR brand or trademark and, in no event, will the placement of brands and trademarks other than the WR brand or trademark be permitted to dilute or in any way diminish the distinctive character of the WR brand and trademark. Thus, Comverge shall not
display any letter(s), word(s), design(s), symbol(s), or other matter of any kind in such proximity to any WR brand or trademark so as to tend to alter or dilute them. 
 ARTICLE 8 – TERM, TERMINATION

notwithstanding, no portion of this option shall be exercisable at any time prior to the approval of the Plan by the Company’s stockholders. 
 SECTION 3. NO TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT OF OPTION. 
 This option may not be transferred other than by
will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and during the lifetime of the Optionee may be exercised only by the Optionee or by the Optionee’s guardian or legal representative; provided, however, that, if this
option is not an ISO it may be otherwise transferred to the extent, if any, permitted by the Board of Directors. 

 SECTION 4. EXERCISE PROCEDURES. 
 (a) Notice of Exercise. The Optionee may exercise all or any portion of the Option, to the extent it is exercisable pursuant to the terms hereof, at any time and from time to time prior to its
termination, by (i) delivering to the Company written notice containing the information and representations appearing on the form attached as Exhibit A hereto (which notice shall be signed by the person exercising this option)
and (ii) paying to the Company the full Purchase Price for the Shares being purchased (such payment to be made as provided in Section 5). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Option may not be exercised with respect to
fractional Shares. In the event that this option is being exercised by the representative of the Optionee, the notice shall be accompanied by proof (satisfactory to the Company) of the representative’s right to exercise this option.

 (b) Issuance of Shares. After receiving a proper notice of exercise, the Company shall cause to be issued a certificate or
certificates for the Shares as to which this option has been exercised, registered in the name of the person exercising this option (or in the names of such person and his or her spouse as community property or as joint tenants with right of

 The
Purchase Price shall be paid (i) either in cash or by certified check or bank draft or money order payable to the order of the Company or (ii) in such other manner (if any) as may be permitted by the Plan. 
 SECTION 6. TERM AND EXPIRATION. 
 (a) Basic
Term. This option shall in any event expire on the expiration date set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant.

terminated. When the Optionee’s Service terminates, this option shall expire immediately with respect to the number of Shares for which this option is not yet exercisable. In the event that the Optionee dies after termination of Service

If the Optionee dies while in Service, then this option shall expire on the earlier of the following dates: 
  

	 	(i)	The expiration date determined pursuant to Subsection (a) above; or 

  

	 	(ii)	The date 12 months after the Optionee’s death.

option may be exercised at any time before its expiration under the preceding sentence by the executors or administrators of the Optionee’s estate or by any person who has acquired this option directly from the Optionee by beneficiary
designation, bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent that this option had become exercisable before the Optionee’s death. When the Optionee dies, this option shall expire immediately with respect to the number of Shares
for which this option is not yet exercisable. 
 (d) Leaves of Absence. For any purpose under this Agreement, Service shall be deemed
to continue while the Optionee is on a bona fide leave of absence, if such leave was approved by the Company in writing and if continued crediting of Service for such purpose is expressly required by the terms of such leave or by applicable law
(as determined by the Company). 
 (e) Notice Concerning ISO Treatment. If this option is designated as an ISO in the Notice of
Stock Option Grant, it ceases to qualify for favorable tax treatment as an ISO to the extent it is exercised (i) more than three months after the date the Optionee ceases to be an Employee for any reason other than death or permanent and
total disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), (ii) more than 12 months after the date the Optionee ceases to be an Employee by reason of such permanent and total disability or (iii) after the Optionee has been on a

Optionee or the Optionee’s spouse, children or grandchildren, provided in either case that the Transferee agrees in writing on a form prescribed by the Company to be bound by all provisions of this Agreement. If the Optionee transfers
any Restricted Shares, then this Section 7 shall apply to the Transferee to the same extent as to the Optionee. 
 (b) Condition
Precedent to Exercise. The Right of Repurchase with respect to particular Restricted Shares shall be exercisable only during the 60-day period next following the later of: 
  

	 	(i)	The date when the Optionee’s Service terminates for any reason, with or without Cause or upon death or Disability; or 

  

	 	(ii)	The date such Restricted Shares are issued. 

 (c) Lapse
of Repurchase Right. The Right of Repurchase shall lapse with respect to the Shares subject to this option in accordance with the schedule set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant. 
 (d) Repurchase Cost. If the Company exercises the Right of Repurchase, it shall pay the Optionee an amount equal to the Exercise Price for
each of the Restricted Shares being repurchased. 
 (e) Exercise of Repurchase Right. The Right of Repurchase shall be exercisable
only by written notice delivered to the Optionee prior to the expiration of the 60-day period specified in Subsection (b) above. The notice shall set forth the date on which the repurchase is to be effected. Such date
shall not be more than 30 days after the date of the notice. The certificate(s) representing the Restricted Shares to be repurchased shall, prior to the close of business on the date specified for the repurchase, be delivered to the
Company properly endorsed for transfer. The Company shall, concurrently with the receipt of such certificate(s), pay to the Optionee the purchase price determined according to Subsection (d) above. Payment shall be made in cash
or by check or by canceling indebtedness to the Company incurred by the Optionee in the purchase of the Restricted Shares. The Right of Repurchase shall terminate with respect to any Restricted Shares for which it has not been timely
exercised pursuant to this Subsection (e). 
 (f) Additional Securities/Property. If any securities or other property is issued
or distributed with respect to, or in exchange for or in replacement of, any Restricted Shares (including, without limitation, in connection with a dividend, other distribution, recapitalization, merger or consolidation), such securities
or other property (other than a regular cash dividend in respect of Stock) shall immediately be subject to the Right of Repurchase and shall be considered Restricted Shares. In any such event, the Company shall make appropriate 
  

 4 

 adjustments to the price per share to be paid upon the exercise of the Right of Repurchase;
provided, however, that the aggregate purchase price payable for the Restricted Shares shall remain the same. 
 (g) Termination of Rights as Stockholder. If the Company makes available, at the time and place and in the amount and form provided in this Agreement, the consideration for the Restricted Shares to be repurchased in
accordance with this Section 7, then after such time the person from whom such Restricted Shares are to be repurchased shall no longer have any rights as a holder of such Restricted Shares (other than the right to receive payment
of such consideration in accordance with this Agreement). Such Restricted Shares shall be deemed to have been repurchased in accordance with the applicable provisions hereof, whether or not the certificate(s) therefor have been delivered as
required by this Agreement. 
 (h) Escrow. Upon issuance, the certificates for Restricted Shares shall be deposited in escrow
with the Company to be held in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Any Additional Securities/Property that becomes subject to the Right of Repurchase, as described in Subsection (f) above, shall immediately be delivered to the
Company to be held in escrow. All regular cash dividends on Restricted Shares (or other securities at the time held in escrow) shall be paid directly to the Optionee and shall not be held in escrow. Restricted Shares, together with any
other assets or securities held in escrow hereunder, shall be (i) surrendered to the Company for repurchase and cancellation upon the Company’s exercise of its Right of Repurchase or Right of First Refusal or (ii) released
to the Optionee upon the Optionee’s request to the extent the Shares are no longer Restricted Shares (but not more frequently than once every six months). In any event, all Shares which are no longer Restricted Shares (and any other assets and
securities attributable thereto) shall be released within 60 days after the earlier of (i) the Optionee’s cessation of Service or (ii) the lapse of the Right of First Refusal. 
 SECTION 8. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. 
 (a) Right of
First Refusal. In the event that the Optionee proposes to sell, pledge or otherwise transfer to a third party any Shares acquired under this Agreement, or any interest in such Shares, the Company shall have the Right of First
Refusal with respect to all (and not less than all) of such Shares. If the Optionee desires to transfer Shares acquired under this Agreement, the Optionee shall give a written Transfer Notice to the Company describing fully the proposed
transfer, including the number of Shares proposed to be transferred, the proposed transfer price, the name and address of the proposed Transferee and proof satisfactory to the Company that the proposed sale or transfer will not violate any
applicable federal or state securities laws. The Transfer Notice shall be signed both by the Optionee and by the proposed Transferee and must constitute a binding commitment of both parties to the transfer of the Shares. The Company
shall have the right to purchase all, and not less than all, of the Shares on the terms of the proposal described in the Transfer Notice (subject, however, to any change in such terms permitted under Subsection (b) below) by delivery
of a notice of exercise of the Right of First Refusal within 30 days after the date when the Transfer Notice was received by the Company. The Company’s rights under this Subsection (a) shall be freely assignable, in whole
or in part. 
 (b) Transfer of Shares. If the Company fails to exercise its Right of First Refusal within 30 days after
the date when it received the Transfer Notice, the Optionee may, not later than 90 days following receipt of the Transfer Notice by the Company, conclude a transfer 
  

 5 

 of the Shares subject to the Transfer Notice on the terms and conditions described in the Transfer Notice, provided that
any such sale is made in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and not in violation of any other contractual restrictions to which the Optionee is bound. Any proposed transfer on terms and conditions different from those
described in the Transfer Notice, as well as any subsequent proposed transfer by the Optionee, shall again be subject to the Right of First Refusal and shall require compliance with the procedure described in Subsection
(a) above. If the Company exercises its Right of First Refusal, the parties shall consummate the sale of the Shares on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice within 60 days after the date when the Company received the Transfer Notice
(or within such longer period as may have been specified in the Transfer Notice); provided, however, that in the event the Transfer Notice provided that payment for the Shares was to be made in a form other than cash
or cash equivalents paid at the time of transfer, the Company shall have the option of paying for the Shares with cash or cash equivalents equal to the present value of the consideration described in the Transfer Notice.

 (c) Additional Shares or Substituted Securities. Any securities issued as a dividend or other distribution with respect to, or
in exchange for or in replacement of, any Shares acquired under this Agreement (including, without limitation, in connection with a dividend, other distribution, recapitalization, merger or consolidation) shall immediately be subject to this
Section 8. 
 (d) Termination of Right of First Refusal. Any other provision of this Section 8 notwithstanding, in the
event that the Stock is readily tradable on an established securities market when the Optionee desires to transfer Shares, the Company shall have no Right of First Refusal, and the Optionee shall have no obligation to comply with the
procedures prescribed by Subsections (a) and (b) above. 
 (e) Permitted Transfers. This Section 8 shall not apply
to a transfer of Shares (i) by will or the laws of descent and distribution or (ii) by gift to a member of the “Family” (as defined below) of the Optionee, to or for the benefit of one or more organizations qualifying
under Code Section 501(c) (3) and 170(c) (2) (a “Charitable Organization”) or to a trust for the exclusive benefit of the Optionee, one or more members of the Optionee’s Family, one or more Charitable
Organizations, pursuant to a domestic relations order or any combination of the foregoing, provided that any such transferee shall enter into a written agreement to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. For this purpose,
“Family” shall mean the ancestors, spouse, siblings, spouses of siblings, lineal descendants and spouses of lineal descendants of the Optionee. If the Optionee transfers any Shares acquired under this Agreement, either under
this Subsection (e) or after the Company has failed to exercise the Right of First Refusal, then this Section 8 shall apply to the Transferee to the same extent as to the Optionee. 
 (f) Termination of Rights as Stockholder. If the Company makes available, at the time and place and in the amount and form provided in this
Agreement, the consideration for the Shares to be purchased in accordance with this Section 8, then after such time the person from whom such Shares are to be purchased shall no longer have any rights as a holder of such Shares (other
than the right to receive payment of such consideration in accordance with this Agreement). Such Shares shall be deemed to have been purchased in accordance with the applicable provisions hereof, whether or not the certificate(s) therefor have
been delivered as required by this Agreement. 
  

 6 

 SECTION 9. NO REGISTRATION RIGHTS; NON-COMPETITION. 
 (a) No Obligation to Register Option Shares. The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, register or qualify the sale of Shares under the
Securities Act or any other applicable law. The Company shall not be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the sale of Shares under this Agreement to comply with any law. 
 (b) Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation. The Optionee shall not, during the Optionee’s Service and for a period of (i) 3 months
immediately following the Company’s termination of such Service, or (ii) 9 months immediately following the Optionee’s termination of such Service, by or for the Optionee or on behalf or in conjunction with any other
person, persons, company, partnership, corporation or business of whatever nature, establish, enter into, be employed by or for, or become part of, any company, partnership, corporation or other business entity or venture, a material
portion of which competes directly with the Company. In addition, the Optionee shall not, during the Optionee’s Service and for a period of 6 months immediately following any termination of such Service, by or for the Optionee or on behalf or
in conjunction with any other person, persons, company, partnership, corporation or business of whatever nature, call upon any Employee or Consultant for the purpose of persuading or enticing any such Employee or Consultant away from or
out of the employ of the Company. 
 (c) Equitable Remedies and Reasonableness. Because of the difficulty of measuring economic
losses to the Company as a result of breach by the Optionee of any of the covenants contained in Section 9(b) above, and because of the immediate and irreparable damage that might be caused to the Company for which it would have no
other adequate remedy, the Optionee agrees that, without limiting the remedies available to the Company, these covenants may be enforced by the Company by injunctions and restraining orders. The parties agree that such covenants
impose a reasonable restraint on the Optionee in light of the activities and business of the Company on the date of this Agreement, and intend that such covenants shall subsequently be construed and enforced in light of the activities and
business of the Company on the date of the termination of the Service of the Optionee. 
 SECTION 10. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. 
 (a) Securities Law Restrictions. Regardless of whether the offering and sale of Shares under the Plan have been registered under the Securities Act
or have been registered or qualified under the securities laws of any state, the Company at its discretion may impose restrictions upon the sale, pledge or other transfer of such Shares (including the placement of appropriate legends on
stock certificates or the imposition of stop-transfer instructions) if, in the judgment of the Company, such restrictions are necessary or desirable in order to achieve compliance with the Securities Act, the securities laws of any state or any
other law. 
 (b) Market Stand-Off. In connection with any underwritten public offering by the Company of its equity securities
pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act, including the Company’s initial public offering, the Optionee shall not directly or indirectly sell, make any short sale of, loan, hypothecate,
pledge, offer, grant or sell any option or other contract for the purchase of, purchase any option or other contract for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer, or agree to engage in any of the foregoing
transactions with respect to, any Shares acquired under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Company or its underwriters. Such restriction (the “Market Stand-Off’) shall be 
  

 7 

 in effect for such period of time following the date of the final prospectus for the offering as may be requested by
the Company or such underwriters. In no event, however, shall such period exceed 180 days. The Market Stand-Off shall in any event terminate two years after the date of the Company’s initial public offering Any securities issued
as a dividend or other distribution with respect to, or in exchange for or in replacement of, any Shares subject to the Market Stand-Off (including, without limitation, in connection with a dividend, other distribution,
recapitalization, merger or consolidation) shall immediately be subject to this subsection (b) to the same extent as such Shares. In order to enforce the Market Stand-Off, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with
respect to the Shares acquired under this Agreement until the end of the applicable stand-off period. This Subsection (b) shall not apply to Shares registered in the public offering under the Securities Act, and the Optionee
shall be subject to this Subsection (b) only if the directors and officers of the Company are subject to similar arrangements. 
 (c) Legends. All certificates evidencing Shares purchased under this Agreement shall bear the following legend: 
 “THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY NOT BE SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, ENCUMBERED OR IN ANY MANNER DISPOSED OF, EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE TERMS OF A WRITTEN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE REGISTERED HOLDER OF THE
SHARES (OR THE PREDECESSOR IN INTEREST TO THE SHARES). SUCH AGREEMENT GRANTS TO THE COMPANY CERTAIN RIGHTS OF FIRST REFUSAL UPON AN ATTEMPTED TRANSFER OF THE SHARES AND CERTAIN REPURCHASE RIGHTS UPON TERMINATION OF SERVICE
WITH THE COMPANY. THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY WILL UPON WRITTEN REQUEST FURNISH A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT TO THE HOLDER HEREOF WITHOUT CHARGE.” 
 All certificates evidencing Shares purchased under this Agreement in an unregistered transaction shall bear the following legend (and such other restrictive legends as are required or deemed advisable under the provisions of any
applicable law): 
 “THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT
BE SOLD, PLEDGED, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.” 
 (d) Removal of Legends. If, in the opinion of the Company and its counsel, any legend placed on a stock certificate representing Shares sold under
this Agreement is no longer required, the holder of such certificate shall be entitled to exchange such certificate for a certificate representing the same number of Shares but without such legend. 
 (e) Administration. Any determination by the Company and its counsel in connection with any of the matters set forth in this Section 10
shall be conclusive and binding on the Optionee and all other persons. 
  

 8 

 SECTION 11. GENERAL

 Exhibit A  
 Comverge, Inc. 
 Gentlemen: 
 I have heretofore been granted the stock option identified below (the “Option): 
  

				
	 Date of grant:
	  	 	                    
	 Exercise price per share:
	  	$	                    
	 Number of shares subject to option when granted:
	  	 	                    
	 Number of shares currently subject to option:
	  	 	                    

 I am hereby exercising the Option with respect to the following number of shares:
                     
 In connection with this exercise, [check one] 
              I enclose a certified check (or bank draft or money order) in the amount of
$                    ; 
              I am delivering irrevocable instructions to a broker to sell shares acquired upon exercise and promptly to deliver to the Company a portion of the proceeds
thereof equal to the exercise price.

 Exhibit B 
 Representation and Warranties 
 As a condition to the exercise of this Option, the Company may
require the Optionee to make any or all of the representations and warranties set forth below (to the extent that the Company determines that such representations and warranties are appropriate at the time of exercise): 
  

	 	1.	I represent and warrant to the Company that I am acquiring and will hold the shares purchased pursuant to this option (the “Purchased Shares”) for investment for my
account only, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” of the Purchased Shares within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). 

  

	 	2.	I understand that the Purchased Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption therefrom and that the Purchased Shares must be held
indefinitely, unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or I obtain an opinion of counsel (in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and its counsel) that registration is not required.

  

	 	3.	I am aware of the adoption of Rule 144 by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act, which permits limited public resales of securities acquired in a
non-public offering, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. These conditions include (without limitation) that certain current public information about the issuer is available, that the resale occurs only after the holding period
required by Rule 144 has been satisfied, that the sale occurs through an unsolicited “broker’s transaction” and that the amount of securities being sold during any three-month period does not exceed
specified limitations. I understand that the conditions for resale set forth in Rule 144 have not been satisfied and that the Company has no plans to satisfy these conditions in the foreseeable future. 

 

	 	4.	I understand that the Purchased Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption therefrom and that the Purchased Shares must be held
indefinitely, unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or I obtain an opinion of counsel (in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and its counsel) that registration is not required.

  

	 	5.	I acknowledge that the Company is under no obligation to register the Purchased Shares. 

  

	 	6.	I will not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Purchased Shares in violation of the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the rules
promulgated thereunder, including Rule 144 under the Securities Act. 

  

	 	7.	I acknowledge that I have received and had access to such information as I consider necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to invest in the Purchased Shares and that I
had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the issuance of the Purchased Shares. 

  

	 	8.	1 am aware that my investment in the Company is a speculative investment which has limited liquidity and is subject to the risk of complete loss. I am able, without impairing
my financial condition, to hold the Purchased Shares for an indefinite period and to suffer a complete loss of my investment in the Purchased Shares. 

  

 1 

	 	9.	I acknowledge that the Purchased Shares remain subject to the Company’s right of first refusal and may remain subject to the Company’s right of repurchase at the
exercise price, all in accordance with the applicable Notice of Stock Option Grant and Stock Option Agreement. 

  

	 	10.	I acknowledge that I am acquiring the Purchased Shares subject to all other terms of the Notice of Stock Option Grant and Stock Option Agreement. 

  

	 	11.	I acknowledge that I have received a copy of the Company’s memorandum regarding the federal income tax consequences of an option exercise and the tax election under
Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. In the event that I choose to make a Section 83(b) election, I acknowledge that it is my responsibility—and not the Company’s responsibility—to file the election in a
timely manner, even if I ask the Company or its agents to make the filing on my behalf. I acknowledge that the Company has encouraged me to consult my own adviser to determine the tax consequences of acquiring the Purchased
Shares at this time. 

  

	 	12.	I agree to seek the consent of my spouse to the extent required by the Company to enforce the foregoing.
