This First Amendment to the Technological Know-How Transfer Agreement for NPS 2.X (this “Amendment”) is made and entered into this 26^th day of October, 2016, by and between WEG Equipamentos Elétricos S.A., a company incorporated and existing under the laws of Brazil (“WEG”), with its principal office at Av. Prefeito Waldemar Grubba, 3000, Jaragua do Sul, SC, 89256-900, Brazil, and Northern Power Systems, Inc., a company incorporated and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, U.S.A. (“NPS”), with its principal office at 29 Pitman Road, Barre, Vermont 05641 U.S.A. WEG and NPS are referred to herein collectively as the “Parties” and individually as a “Party”.

WHEREAS, WEG and NPS have signed on March 20, 2013, the Technological Know-How Transfer Agreement for NPS 2.X (the “Agreement”), which granted to WEG (i) the exclusive, nontransferable right (without right to sublicense) to receive the Subject Know-How and the Subject Intellectual Property necessary to manufacture, market and sell the NPS 2.X in the Exclusive Territory; and (ii) the non-exclusive, nontransferable right (without right to sublicense) regarding NPS 2.X Technology to manufacture, market and sell the NPS 2.X in the Non-Exclusive Territory;

WHEREAS, WEG, its North American subsidiary (WEG Electric Corp. (“WEC”)) and NPS have signed on October 26, 2016, an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”), whereby NPS sells, conveys, transfers, assigns and delivers to WEC, NPS’s right, title and interest in and to the intellectual property, equipment, supporting materials, assumed contracts and goodwill of NPS related to utility-scale wind turbines (collectively, the “Utility Wind Assets”);

WHEREAS, the APA establishes that royalties must be paid by WEG and WEC to NPS, after the shipment of two hundred and twelve (212) 2.X Turbines (excluding units shipped due to warranty or replacement causes and returned units);

WHEREAS, considering that the Agreement is already registered before the INPI, allowing WEG to pay royalties to NPS, merely for convenience (and solely for the purpose of paying the royalties agreed in the APA), the parties have decided to keep the Agreement active during the term that royalty payments are due under the APA;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and premises herein set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
