[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

EXHIBIT 10.1

THIS JOINT VENTURE MASTER AGREEMENT, dated June 11, 2010 (this “Master Agreement”), is entered into by COMVERGE, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Comverge”); and PROJECTS INTERNATIONAL, INC., a District of Columbia corporation (“PI”).

BACKGROUND

Comverge and PI have determined that they would benefit from a strategic alliance arrangement between their respective organizations under which the parties will identify and jointly pursue opportunities for demand response, smartgrid and energy efficiency projects in the specific countries identified in this Master Agreement. PI, directly or through its designated Affiliate, will have primary responsibility for identifying, pursuing, negotiating, and executing such projects in the identified countries, and Comverge will provide key operations consulting, hardware and software technology, marketing support, trade name and intellectual property licensing as contemplated under this Master Agreement.

Defined terms used in this Master Agreement have the meaning specified in Exhibit A (Defined Terms).

The Parties agree as follows:

Local Country Joint Venture Entities. PI will *** in the Territory. The Parties anticipate that if they mutually agree to pursue a Project in a country in the Territory, then the Parties (or their respective Affiliates) will form a joint venture entity in such country (each, a “Local Country JV Entity”) to execute the Project (if a Local Country JV Entity does not already exist in that country). PI (or a PI Affiliate) will *** of each Local Country JV Entity, and Comverge (or a Comverge Affiliate) will *** of each Local Country JV Entity. The Parties will mutually agree upon the precise legal structure of the Local Country JV Entity in each case (which could include a local office of a regional legal entity), taking into account relevant legal, tax, accounting, regulatory and other issues affecting the structure of the Local Country JV Entity. Each Local Country JV Entity will incorporate, at a minimum, the terms and conditions (including control and governance rights) set forth on Exhibit B (Local Country JV Entities).

2.	Territory.

(a)	The territory for this Master Agreement (the “Territory”) will consist of

i.	the MENA Countries (defined as those countries listed on Exhibit C (Territory) as the “MENA Countries”),

ii.	the Non-MENA Countries - Group A (defined as those countries listed on Exhibit C (Territory) as the “Non-MENA Countries - Group A”),

iii.	the Non-MENA Countries - Group B (defined as those countries listed on Exhibit C (Territory) as the “Non-MENA Countries - Group B”), and

iv.	the Non-MENA Countries - Group C (defined as those countries listed on Exhibit C (Territory) as the “Non-MENA Countries - Group C”).

(b)

The Parties intend that if PI is successful at identifying and contracting for Projects within a particular Country Group (e.g., in the MENA Countries), then the Territory will be expanded to include other countries within the region. PI may propose to Comverge an expansion of the Territory to include other countries within the applicable region. Any such proposal must be accompanied by a detailed business plan for the additional country or countries. Any such proposal to add a country or countries to the Territory will be subject to the prior written approval of Comverge, in its sole discretion. If the Parties mutually agree to modify the Territory, they will update Exhibit C (Territory) accordingly.

3.	Exclusivity.

(a)

During the applicable Term for each Country Group (as specified in Section 9), PI will have the exclusive right to pursue Projects in the countries included in that Country Group through a Local Country JV Entity. However, if Comverge proposes a Project in the Territory and PI elects not to pursue the Project, then Comverge may pursue that Project in the Territory independently (i.e., outside of this Master Agreement and the Local Country JV Entity).

(b)

During the applicable Term for each Country Group (as specified in Section 9) ***, neither PI nor any PI Affiliate will engage in any Competitive Business in any of the countries in the respective Country Group. However, if Comverge terminates this Agreement with respect to a particular country in a Country Group in accordance with Section 9, then the foregoing restriction will apply in the affected country only during the Term applicable to that country (and not ***). In addition, as of the Effective Date, each of ▇▇▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Jr. and ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ will enter into a non-competition agreement with the business of Comverge in the Territory, in form satisfactory to Comverge. The provisions of this Section 3(b) will apply even if Comverge has elected not to pursue a Project proposed by PI. Competitive products and services will include products and services that compete with new products and services offered by Comverge after the Effective Date. However, if Local Country JV Entities begin dealing in products and services that were not competitive at the time originally offered by the Local Country JV Entity, but Comverge subsequently launches a product or service that competes, the Local Country JV Entity will not be deemed in breach of this Section 3(b) (unless Comverge has previously advised PI of the impending launch of the Comverge product or service).

(c)	The Parties will each be free to pursue projects in countries outside of the Territory either directly, through other alliances, or through third parties (e.g., partners, distributors or resellers).

(d)	Neither PI nor any PI Affiliates will have the right to offer, sell, market, distribute or promote any of the products or services of Comverge outside of the Territory either during the Term or at any time thereafter.

Provision of Project Products and Services by Comverge. Comverge will provide products and services for Projects in the Territories at *** for municipal and co-operative utility customers in the United States. Comverge will enter into a Comverge Master Products and Services Agreement with the Local Country JV Entity providing the terms and conditions under which such Comverge products and services will be provided to the Project. Certain products and services to be provided by Comverge, and the terms and conditions applicable to those products and services (including pricing and payment terms as of the date of this Agreement), are set forth in Exhibit D (Comverge Products and Services). The pricing set forth in Exhibit D represents *** Comverge Products and Services as of the Effective Date and is *** reasonable discretion. Products listed are subject to availability of materials and ***.

5.	Services to be Provided by PI. In consideration of its ***, PI or a PI Affiliate will provide the following services with respect to each Project either directly or through each respective Local Country JV Entity:

(a)

***

(b)

(c)

(d)

***

(e)

(f)

(g)

If PI or PI Affiliates require assistance from Comverge to perform any of the functions specified in this Section 5, then Comverge will have the right to be compensated for such assistance in accordance with the terms of Section 4 and Exhibit D (Comverge Products and Services), and if such function is not contemplated in Section 4 or Exhibit D (Comverge Products and Services), then the Parties will mutually agree on the compensation to be paid to Comverge.

The costs and expenses incurred in connection with the conduct of the Local Country JV Entity’s business will be borne by the Local Country JV Entity to the extent that such costs and expenses are included in an approved Budget for the Local Country JV Entity.

6.	Confidentiality. Any confidential or proprietary information shared among the parties in connection with this Master Agreement or any Project will be subject to the restrictions and obligations set forth in Exhibit E (Confidentiality).

Intellectual Property Rights. As between Comverge and PI, each Party will retain ownership of any intellectual property owned by it prior to the date of this Master Agreement or subsequently developed or acquired by it outside the scope of this Master Agreement. In addition, each Party will own any derivative works based upon that Party’s intellectual property rights, regardless of whether such derivatives are developed by that Party or another Party. No licenses with respect to the intellectual property rights of any Party are being granted under this Master Agreement (nor may any such licenses be inferred), except as provided in the Trademark License. The Parties do not anticipate any joint development of intellectual property in connection with this Master Agreement. However, if the Parties do jointly develop any intellectual property in connection with this Master Agreement, then (1) if such jointly developed intellectual property constitutes a derivative work of any existing Comverge intellectual property, then Comverge will own all such jointly developed intellectual property and, if necessary, will license such jointly developed intellectual property to PI under reasonable license terms, and (2) if such jointly developed intellectual property is an original work (that is, it is not a derivative work of any existing Comverge intellectual property), then such new jointly developed intellectual property will be jointly owned and can be used by each party in accordance with the terms of a mutually agreed license agreement. Each Party will, if requested by the other Party, execute all such assignments and other documents as necessary to confirm ownership of jointly developed intellectual property in accordance with the terms of this Section.

Trademark License. Comverge and PI will enter into a trademark license in the form attached as Exhibit F (the “Trademark License”). PI agrees that it will comply with, and will cause each of the PI Affiliates to comply with, each of the terms of the Trademark License. In addition, each Local Country JV Entity will enter into a joinder to the Trademark License and will be bound by the terms thereof.

9.	Term and Termination. The Term of this Master Agreement will commence upon the Effective Date and continue with respect to each Country Group as follows:

(a)

***. The initial term with respect to the *** will continue in effect until the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the third (3rd) anniversary of the Effective Date, unless earlier terminated in accordance with this Section. However, if, during the initial three (3) year term, the Parties enter into a Qualifying Customer Contract in one of the ***, then the term of this Master Agreement will automatically extend for the *** until it is superseded by another agreement or terminated pursuant to Section 12 or Section 13 of this Master Agreement. If, however, after one (1) year following extension of the initial term with respect to the ***, a country within *** ceases to generate gross revenue for the Local Country JV Entity of at least *** for that country, or if the Local Country JV Entity is no longer actively pursuing Projects in that country (in either case, a “Non-Performing Country”), then Comverge will have the right to send written notice to PI that the performance standards for the Non-Performing Country have not been met and that the Non-Performing Country will be removed from the Territory (a “Non-Performance Notice”). PI will have thirty (30) Business Days following receipt of the Non-Performance Notice to notify Comverge that PI wishes to cure the performance issue in the Non-Performing Country (a “Cure Notice”). If PI fails to send a Cure Notice (or if PI agrees that the Non-Performing Country will be removed from the Territory), then the Non-Performing Country will be removed from the Territory (and Exhibit C (Territory) will be updated accordingly). If PI sends a Cure Notice, but the Non-Performing Country fails to *** for the Local Country JV Entity in the twelve (12) month period following receipt of the Cure Notice, then the Non-Performing Country will be removed from the Territory, and Exhibit C (Territory) will be updated accordingly.

(b)

***. The initial term with respect to the *** will continue in effect until the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the first (1st) anniversary of the Effective Date, unless earlier terminated in accordance with this Section. However, if, during the initial one (1) year term, the Parties establish a Local Country JV Entity or enter into a binding letter of intent for a Project contract with a minimum of 100 megawatts of delivered load reduction in one of the ***, then the term of the Master Agreement will automatically extend for the countries in *** until it is superseded by another agreement or terminated pursuant to Section 12 or Section 13 of this Master Agreement. If, however, after one (1) year following the extension of the term with respect to ***, a country included in *** ceases *** for that country, or if the Local Country JV Entity is no longer actively pursuing Projects in that country, then Comverge will have the right to send written notice to PI that the performance standards for the Non-Performing Country have not been met and that the Non-Performing Country will be removed from the Territory. PI will have thirty (30) Business Days following receipt of the Non-Performance Notice to notify Comverge that PI wishes to cure the performance issue in the Non-Performing Country. If PI fails to send a Cure Notice (or if PI agrees that the Non-Performing Country will be removed from the Territory), then the Non-Performing Country will be removed from the Territory (and Exhibit C (Territory) will be updated accordingly). If PI sends a Cure Notice, but the Non-Performing Country *** for the Local Country JV Entity in the twelve (12) month period following receipt of the Cure Notice, then the Non-Performing Country will be removed from the Territory, and Exhibit C (Territory) will be updated accordingly.

(c)

***. The initial term with respect to the *** will continue in effect until the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the first (1st) anniversary of the Effective Date, unless earlier terminated in accordance with this Section. However, if, during the initial one (1) year term, the Parties establish a Local Country JV Entity or enter into a binding letter of intent for a Project contract with a minimum of 100 megawatts of delivered load reduction in one of the ***, then the term of this Master Agreement will automatically extend for the *** until it is superseded by another agreement or terminated pursuant to Section 12 or Section 13 of this Master Agreement. If, however, after one (1) year following extension of the term with respect to the ***, a country within the *** ceases to generate gross revenue for the Local Country JV Entity of *** for that country, or if the Local Country JV Entity is no longer actively pursuing Projects in that country, then Comverge will have the right to send written notice to PI that the performance standards for the Non-Performing Country have not been met and that the Non-Performing Country will be removed from the Territory. PI will have thirty (30) Business Days following receipt of the Non-Performance Notice to notify Comverge that PI wishes to cure the performance issue in the Non-Performing Country. If PI fails to send a Cure Notice (or if PI agrees that the Non-Performing Country will be removed from the Territory), then the Non-Performing Country will be removed from the Territory (and Exhibit C (Territory) will be updated accordingly). If PI sends a Cure Notice, but the Non-Performing Country fails to *** for the Local Country JV Entity in the twelve (12) month period following receipt of the Cure Notice, then the Non-Performing Country will be removed from the Territory, and Exhibit C (Territory) will be updated accordingly.

(d)

***. The initial term with respect to the *** will continue in effect until the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the first (1st) anniversary of the Effective Date, unless earlier terminated in accordance with this Section. However, if, during the initial one (1) year term, the Parties establish a Local Country JV Entity or enter into a binding letter of intent for a Project contract with *** in one of the ***, then the term of this Master Agreement will automatically extend for the *** until it is superseded by another agreement or terminated pursuant to Section 12 or Section 13 of this Master Agreement. If, however, after one (1) year following extension of the term with respect to the ***, a country within the *** Country Group ceases to generate gross revenue for the Local Country JV Entity of at least ***, or if the Local Country JV Entity is no longer actively pursuing Projects in that country, then Comverge will have the right to send written notice to PI that the performance standards for the Non-Performing Country have not been met and that the Non-Performing Country will be removed from the Territory. PI will have thirty (30) Business Days following receipt of the Non-Performance Notice to notify Comverge that PI wishes to cure the performance issue in the Non-Performing Country. If PI fails to send a Cure Notice (or if PI agrees that the Non-Performing Country will be removed from the Territory), then the Non-Performing Country will be removed from the Territory (and Exhibit C (Territory) will be updated accordingly). If PI sends a Cure Notice, but the Non-Performing Country fails to *** for the Local Country JV Entity in the twelve (12) month period following receipt of the Cure Notice, then the Non-Performing Country will be removed from the Territory, and Exhibit C (Territory) will be updated accordingly.

(e)

Material Default. A material default by a Party is grounds for termination of this Master Agreement. A Party alleging a material default must provide written notice (a “Default Notice”) to the other Party upon any indication of material default by the other Party of any of its material obligations under this Master Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents, and the receiving Party will have thirty (30) days to cure the alleged default. If the Party receiving a Default Notice disputes the existence of a material default (or disputes its failure to cure a material default), then the dispute will first be subject to internal escalation in accordance with Section 11. If the Parties are unable to resolve the dispute pursuant to Section 11, then the dispute will be resolved in accordance with Section 24. Termination of this Master Agreement as a result of a material default will not terminate any Customer Contracts that, as of the Termination Date, have been entered into by the Parties or their Affiliates or any Local Country JV Entity, which will remain in effect until terminated pursuant to the terms set forth in the applicable Customer Agreement.

(f)

Exercise of Option Rights under Section 12. If Comverge exercises its rights under Section 12 with respect to the Local Country JV Entities, then this Master Agreement will terminate upon consummation of the purchase of PI’s equity interests in the Local Country JV Entities. However, any agreements between Comverge and the Local Country JV Entities and any Customer Contracts in existence at the time of such termination of this Master Agreement will continue in accordance with their respective terms.

(g)

Exercise of Option Rights under Section 13. If either Party exercises its rights under Section 13 with respect to any Local Country JV Entity, then this Master Agreement will terminate as to that Local Country JV Entity and each country within the Territory in which that Local Country JV Entity operates, upon consummation of the purchase of the other Party’s equity interest in that Local Country JV Entity. This Master Agreement will continue in effect with respect to the Local Country JV Entities that are not acquired (if any). Moreover, any agreements between Comverge and the Local Country JV Entities and any Customer Contracts in existence at such time will continue in accordance with their respective terms. If PI acquires the interest of Comverge in a Local Country JV Entity pursuant to Section 13, then the obligations of Comverge under Section 3(a) and Section 4 will survive such termination with respect to the affected portion of the Territory in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(h)

Actions upon Termination under Section 9(a), (b), (c) or (d). If this Master Agreement terminates with respect to any Country Group or country within a Country Group pursuant to Sections 9(a), (b), (c), or (d), and there is a Local Country JV Entity in the affected country or countries, then the existing Local Country JV Entity will continue to exist and will be responsible for executing any Customer Contracts to which it is a party as of the time of such termination in accordance with the terms of such Customer Contracts. However, Comverge will have no further exclusivity obligations under Section 3 in the affected country or countries and will be free to pursue all future Projects directly or in conjunction with third parties. In addition, Comverge will have the option to deliver a Triggering Notice in accordance with Section 13(a), and the Parties will thereafter follow the buy/sell process provided for in Section 13(b) through 13(e).

(i)	Survival of Provisions. The provisions of Sections 3(b), 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and Sections 15 through 25, will survive any termination of this Master Agreement, unless otherwise agreed.

10.

Covenant Not to Hire Employees. Prior to the Termination Date and for ***, neither PI nor any PI Affiliate (in such capacity, the “Hiring Party”) will, directly or indirectly, without the written consent of Comverge (in its sole discretion), and whether or not for compensation, either on the Hiring Party’s own behalf or in any other capacity knowingly:

(a)

solicit, persuade, encourage, or induce any employee of Comverge or any Comverge Affiliate (or any consultant, sales agent, contract programmer, or other independent agent who is retained on a full-time or substantially full-time basis by Comverge or any Comverge Affiliate and who is involved with the activities contemplated under this Master Agreement) to cease his employment with or retention by Comverge or one of the Comverge Affiliates; or

(b)

employ, or retain as a consultant or contractor, or cause to be so employed or retained, or enter into a business relationship with any person who (i) is an employee of Comverge or one of the Comverge Affiliates, (ii) has been employed by Comverge or one of the Comverge Affiliates at any time within *** of such act, (iii) is a consultant, sales agent, contract programmer, or other independent agent retained on a full-time or substantially full-time basis by Comverge or one of the Comverge Affiliates, or (iv) has been retained on a full-time or substantially full-time basis by Comverge or one of the Comverge Affiliates as a consultant, sales agent, contract programmer, or other independent agent at *** of such act.

General solicitations of employees by PI or PI Affiliates (e.g., in trade journals or on-line job postings) will not constitute a breach of this Section 10 so long as PI or the PI Affiliate does not hire a Comverge employee or consultant (or former Comverge employee or consultant) who responds to such general solicitation.

PI acknowledges that the provisions of this Section are a material inducement to Comverge in entering into this Master Agreement and that Comverge is relying on the enforceability of such provisions.

If either Party believes that a dispute exists, that Party will deliver written notice of the dispute (a “Dispute Notice”) to the General Counsel of Comverge or to the President of PI (or his designee), as appropriate. The General Counsel of Comverge and the President of PI (or his designee) will meet in person or by telephone as soon as practicable in a good faith effort to resolve the dispute.

(b)

If the dispute cannot be resolved by the General Counsel of Comverge and the President of PI (or his designee) within ten (10) Business Days after either Party delivers a Dispute Notice, then either Party will have the right to submit the Dispute to the CEO of Comverge and the Chairman of PI for resolution. The CEO of Comverge and the Chairman of PI will meet in person or by telephone as soon as practicable in a good faith effort to resolve the dispute within ten (10) Business Days following escalation of the dispute to them for resolution.
