Exhibit 10.15

SALES REPRESENTATIVE AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT made on the 20the day of October, 2009 by and between Ilios Dynamics, a Massachusetts corporation with its principal office located at 45 First Avenue, Waltham, MA, 02451 (“Ilios”), and American DG Energy, a Massachusetts corporation with an office located at 45 First Avenue, Waltham, MA (the “Representative”).

WITNESSETH:

Whereas, Ilios is engaged in the manufacture and sale of products including industrial equipment and accessories;

Whereas, the Representative desires to promote and to solicit the sale of certain of said products;

Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration each to the other given, the parties hereto agree as follows:

		
	1.
	Rights of the Representative.  The Representative shall be an authorized representative of Ilios with the right to solicit the sale of Ilios products and services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and/or to buy and resell such Ilios products as, under the terms of this Agreement, may be offered by Ilios from time to time.

		
	2.
	Ilios Policies and Procedures.  The Representative shall comply with Ilios's sales, service and service parts policies and procedures, as such policies and procedures are furnished to the Representative from time to time.  Ilios shall furnish sales materials at no cost to the Representative.

		
	3.
	List of Products and Services.  Ilios hereby authorizes the Representative to solicit the sale of the products and services set forth on the document marked Appendix “A” attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Products”).  The Representative agrees that Ilios may from time to time modify this Agreement by providing to the Representative a substitute Appendix “A”.

		
	4.
	Equipment Pricing.

A commission shall be paid to the Representative for the sale of all Products listed on Appendix “A” sold on a commission basis by the Representative within the Territory, as set forth in Appendix “D” (the “Territory”), during the term of this Agreement in accordance with Paragraph 5.  Par, or standard sales price to the purchaser of the Products shall be equal to the Par Value Multiplier set forth in Appendix “B” times the amount at which such Products are then listed on Ilios's current price list.

		
	5.
	Determination and Payment of Commissions to the Representative.

		
	a.
	Representative shall be entitled to full commission on each order for which all of the following occur in the Territory: (1) Product Specification, (2) Issuance of an Order, and (3) Installation of a Product.  However, when one or more of these three functions occurs in a territory other than the Territory, the commission for all functions shall be distributed as per Appendix “C” and subject to Section d of this Paragraph 5. The whole commission amount will be computed as follows:

		
	i.
	Products sold at par or standard sales price shall return a commission to the Representative equal to the Par Commission Multiplier set forth in Appendix “B” times the net sales price (sales price after deducting transportation charges, applicable taxes, design and/or installation consulting fees, startup and/or first year service monies, collection fees, rebates or returns.)

Exhibit 10.15

		
	ii.
	Products sold above par or standard sales price: Net overage shall be shared equally by the Representative and Ilios.

		
	iii. 
	Products sold below par or standard sales price: Net underage shall be borne equally by the Representative and Ilios.

		
	iv.
	The minimum sale price for Products shall be equal to the Minimum Price Multiplier set forth on Appendix “B” times the current published list price. This price will be the lowest price available for the Ilios products to any customer or representative.

		
	v.
	The Representative may choose to forego receiving a commission and purchase the equipment directly from Ilios.  The Ilios sale price for Buy/Resell is equal to Buy/Resell Multiplier set forth on Appendix “B” times the Product list price (including all supplied optional equipment).  The cost of transportation charges, applicable taxes, design and/or installation consulting fees, startup and/or first year service monies, collection fees, rebates or returns are the sole responsibility of the Representative.

		
	b.
	Commissions shall be paid to the Representative within ten (10) days after full payment of the invoice by the purchaser of the Products.  If for any reason Ilios does not receive full payment from the customer, the Representative shall receive only his pro rata share of the commission for the portion of the net sales price actually received by Ilios.

		
	c.
	It is understood and agreed that all commissions under this paragraph 5 shall be subject to such split commissions policies as Ilios may from time to time promulgate.  The Representative recognizes and agrees that Ilios may change any of the multipliers in Appendix “B” by giving thirty (30) days prior notice to the Representative.

		
	d.
	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Paragraph 5 or elsewhere in this Agreement, commissions shall be due and payable to the Representative only on orders which the Representative has demonstrated reasonable efforts to solicit and procure in accordance with its responsibilities set forth in Paragraph 9.

		
	6.
	Product Orders.

Product orders submitted by the Representative shall be deemed to be an offer to purchase by the purchaser, and are subject to final approval and acceptance by Ilios at its Home Office in Waltham, Massachusetts.

		
	7.
	Price Changes.  The Representative recognizes and agrees that Ilios may change the price of any Product at any time upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Representative.

		
	8.
	Representative Is Independent Contractor.  The Representative shall act as an independent contractor.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to create the relationship of employer and employee between Ilios and the Representative or between Ilios and any agent or any employee of the Representative.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Representative shall have no authority to act for or to bind Ilios in any way, to alter any of the terms or conditions of any standard forms or other agreements of Ilios with purchasers of products, to make representations or warranties or to execute agreements on behalf of Ilios or to represent that Ilios is in any way responsible for the acts or omissions of the Representative.  The Representative shall indemnify and hold Ilios harmless for any liability, loss or damage (including reasonable attorney's fees) to Ilios resulting from a violation of this Paragraph 8.

		
	9.
	Responsibilities of Representative.

(3)Installation of Product    :    20%

If there is no representative in any of the territories where the events described in clause (1), (2) or (3) above take place, then the payment which would have been made to such representative shall be retained by Ilios.

Ilios reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to establish, and from time to time to change, its policy for determining what elements will be considered in the division of compensation among representatives and territories and the amount of compensation to be allocated to each.  The decision of Ilios on the application of the above rules or any revised rules to any particular order shall be final and binding on the Representative.

Ilios shall use its best efforts, prior to or concurrently with the quotation of an order, to notify the Representative that the commissions on such order may be split and to indicate the basis for such split (subject to revision upon the acceptance of the order).  In an event shall the total commissions, which Ilios is required to pay on a single order, exceed the amount of the commission payable pursuant to Paragraph 5.

FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE SALES REPRESENTATIVE AGREEMENT

THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE SALES REPRESENTATIVE AGREEMENT dated as of November 12, 2013 (this “Amendment”) between Ilios Inc., a Massachusetts corporation with its principal office located at 45 First Avenue, Waltham, MA, 02451 and American DG Energy Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ADG Energy”). 

WHEREAS, Ilios and ADG Energy are parties to a Sales Representative Agreement, dated October 20, 2009 (the “Agreement”); 

WHEREAS, Appendix D “Territory” of the Agreement provides that ADG Energy shall be granted exclusive representation rights to the Ilios Heat Pump Product in the European Union (EU);

WHEREAS, Ilios and ADG Energy wish to amend the agreement to allow Ilios to appoint additional representation in the European Union;

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

		
	1.
	Appendix D “Territory” of the Agreement is hereby replaced in its entirety to read as follows:

APPENDIX "D" - TERRITORY
The Representative shall have the right to solicit the sale of all Ilios products and services set forth in Appendix "A" in the marketing territory of the New England States including Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine.  
For nations of the European Union (EU) ADG Energy shall have the right to purchase Ilios products directly from Ilios at prices set forth in Appendix “A” so long as the ADG Energy’s intended use is to retain long-term ownership of the Ilios product and utilize it for the production and sale of thermal energy (i.e., ADG Energy/EuroSite Power “On-Site Utility” energy projects). In cases where the ADG Energy has the opportunity to sell Ilios product to an unaffiliated party in the EU and where Ilios has no other appointed representation in that specific region, the ADG Energy may buy/resell the Ilios product as specified under the terms of this contact. If, however, Ilios has appointed a local exclusive representative in that specific EU region, American DG Energy will defer to the local representative for pricing and other specific details for working cooperatively.   

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Facilities and Support Services Agreement to be duly executed and delivered by their proper and duly authorized representatives as of the effective day first above written.
