Generally Available Benefit Programs
We maintain a tax-qualified 401(k) Plan, which provides for broad-based employee participation. Our executive officers are eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan on the same basis as other employees. We do not provide defined benefit pension plans or defined contribution retirement plans to our executives or other employees other than our 401(k) Plan described herein.
In fiscal 2012, our named executive officers were eligible to receive the same health care coverage that was generally available to our other employees. We also offered a number of other benefits to our named executive officers pursuant to benefit programs that have historically been provided through Gaiam, but are now provided by Real Goods Solar, and provide for broad-based employee participation. These benefits programs included medical, dental and vision insurance, long-term and short-term disability insurance, life and accidental death and dismemberment insurance, health and dependent care flexible spending accounts, business travel insurance, wellness programs (including chiropractic, massage therapy, acupuncture, and fitness classes), relocation/expatriate programs and services, educational assistance, and certain other benefits.
Our compensation committee believes that our 401(k) Plan and the other generally available benefit programs allow us to remain competitive for employee talent, and that the availability of the benefit programs generally enhances employee productivity and loyalty to us. The main objectives of our benefits programs are to give our employees access to quality healthcare, financial protection from unforeseen events, assistance in achieving retirement financial goals, and enhanced health and productivity, in full compliance with applicable legal requirements. Typically, these generally available benefits do not specifically factor into decisions regarding an individual executive officers total compensation or Long-Term Incentive Plan award package.

Stock Option Grant Timing Practices
During fiscal 2012, our compensation committee and our board of directors consistently applied the following guidelines for stock option grant timing practices:
| New Employees: stock option grants to new hires are effective on the first day of the new employees employment with us or upon approval by our compensation committee, and the exercise price for the options is set at the closing price of our Class A Common Stock on that date. |
| Existing Employees: stock option grants to existing employees are effective on the date that our compensation committee approves the grant, and the exercise price for the options is set at the closing price of our Class A Common Stock on that date. |
Employment Agreements and Compensation of our Named Executive Officers
We have not entered into traditional employment agreements with any of our named executive officers. However, we and Mr. Mofid executed an employment letter setting forth certain compensatory and other terms upon his retention in July 2012. We amended and restated his employment letter in December 2012. Further, those named executive officers who have been granted stock options are subject to covenants concerning confidentiality, non-competition, non-solicitation of employees and customers and assignment of inventions contained in our standard form of stock option agreement executed upon grant.
We appointed Kamyar Mofid as our Chief Executive Officer on July 30, 2012. Mr. Mofids annual base salary was $300,000 during 2012 and increased to $360,000 on January 1, 2013. Our board of directors may increase base salary but not decrease it without his consent. Mr. Mofid is eligible to receive an annual bonus of up to 100% of his base salary based on our achievement of certain financial and operating objectives established by our board of directors in consultation with Mr. Mofid. For 2012, Mr. Mofid was guaranteed a bonus of $120,000. For 2012, he received $115,558 in salary and a cash bonus of $120,000. Mr. Mofid also served as a director during 2012 but received no separate compensation for his service in this role. During 2012, we granted Mr. Mofid stock options exercisable into an aggregate of 700,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock with the exercise prices and vesting schedules set forth above. Mr. Mofid received a relocation allowance of $77,254 (including an associated tax gross up). Our compensation committee and our board of directors believe that Mr. Mofids salary and overall compensation level were warranted given Mr. Mofids role with our company, his previous experience and business accomplishments and the market value of his skill set as a senior executive.
During 2012, Mr. Schaeffer received an annual base salary of $175,000. Mr. Schaeffer also served as a director during 2012 but received no separate compensation for his service in this role. Our compensation committee and our board of directors believes that Mr. Schaeffers salary and overall compensation level were warranted given Mr. Schaeffers role with our company, his previous experience and business accomplishments and the market value of his skill set as a senior executive.
Angy Chin provided services to us as an independent consultant between August 28, 2012 and March 29, 2013. Ms. Chin served as our interim Chief Financial Officer between August 31, 2012 and February 4, 2013 on a consulting basis. Ms. Chin continued to support us through an orderly transition in an advisory role until March 29, 2013.
William Yearsley, our former Chief Executive Officer, resigned from the company effective July 30, 2012. Dr. Yearsleys stock options terminated 30 days after the date of his termination.
John Coletta, our former Chief Financial Officer, resigned from the company effective August 31, 2012. Mr. Colettas stock options terminated 30 days after the date of his termination.

Further, 50% of Mr. Mofids unvested stock options will vest immediately upon a change of control. The remainder of his stock options will vest in accordance with their terms. He is also eligible for COBRA continuation coverage at active employee rates for up to 18 months.

General
Our standard from of stock option agreement provides that option vesting ceases upon termination of employment. A former employee may exercise vested options for 30 days (generally), three months (upon retirement at or after normal retirement age) or one year (upon termination due to death or disability or within one year after a change of control) after termination but in no event after the expiration term of the applicable option. 50% of unvested options immediately vest upon the occurrence of a change of control whereas the remainder vest in accordance with their terms.
ACCOUNTING AND TAX CONSIDERATIONS
In designing our compensation programs, we take into consideration the accounting and tax effect that each element will or may have on us and our executive officers and other employees. We aim to keep the expense related to our compensation programs as a whole within certain affordability levels. When determining how to apportion between differing elements of compensation, our goal is to meet our objectives while maintaining relative cost neutrality. For instance, if we increase benefits under one program resulting in higher compensation expense, we may seek to decrease costs under another program in order to avoid a compensation expense that is above the level then deemed affordable under existing circumstances. For options, we recognize a charge to earnings for accounting purposes equally from the grant date until the end of the vesting period.
We believe we have structured our compensation program to comply with Internal Revenue Code Sections 162(m) and 409A. Under Section 162(m), a limitation is placed on tax deductions of any publicly-held corporation for individual compensation to certain executives of such corporation exceeding $1,000,000 in any taxable year, unless the compensation is performance-based. If an executive is entitled to nonqualified deferred compensation benefits that are subject to Section 409A, and such benefits do not comply with Section 409A, then the benefits are taxable in the first year they are not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. In such case, the service provider is subject to regular federal income tax, interest and an additional federal income tax of 20% of the benefit includible in income. We do not believe we have individuals with non-performance based compensation paid in excess of the Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) tax deduction limit.

Item 13. | Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence |
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Related Party Transactions
Following our initial public offering, we entered into the Industrial Building Lease, Intercorporate Services Agreement and Tax Sharing and Indemnification Agreement with Gaiam described below. We also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Gaiam that we amended and restated in connection with the Alteris transaction, as described below. Because these agreements were negotiated while we were a subsidiary of Gaiam, they may not reflect terms as favorable as we might have obtained had these agreements been made with an unaffiliated third party. Gaiam currently holds approximately 37.6% of our outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock. Jirka Rysavy, one of our directors and Chairman of the Board of our board of directors, also serves as the Chairman of Gaiam and is a significant shareholder of Gaiam.
In connection with the closing of the Alteris transaction on December 19, 2011, we entered into a Shareholders Agreement with Gaiam and Riverside, pursuant to which Gaiam and Riverside agreed to lend money to us. Gaiam and Riverside currently hold approximately 37.6% and 29.2%, respectively, of our Class A common stock. Additionally, we entered into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement with Gaiam and Riverside in connection with the Alteris transaction, pursuant to which Gaiam and Riverside received certain demand and piggyback registration rights with respect to shares of our common stock.
Industrial Building Lease
On December 19, 2011, we entered into a five year facility lease with Gaiam for office space located in one of Gaiams owned buildings in Colorado that commenced January 1, 2012 and provided for a monthly payment of approximately $11,179 plus common area maintenance expenses. During 2012, we paid Gaiam an aggregate of $134,200 and we expect to pay Gaiam an aggregate of $230,600 in rent for 2013. Pursuant to a Loan Commitment we entered into with Gaiam and Riverside on November 13, 2012 (as described below), we entered into a Second Amendment to Lease, dated April 2, 2013, which permits Gaiam to purchase for $200,000 all tenant improvements constructed by us in our principal office space leased by us from Gaiam and cancels, effective March 31, 2013, the $3 per square foot credit set forth in the current lease.
Intercorporate Services Agreement
Under our Intercorporate Services Agreement with Gaiam, Gaiam provides to us certain services that may include business and facilities management, human resources and employee benefits, payroll, internal audit and risk management, treasury and cash management, tax, legal, accounts payable, telecommunications services, including call center support, and information technology services. Gaiam agreed to make each service available to us on an as-needed basis. This agreement automatically renews on a quarter-to-quarter basis. Any decision by us to terminate this agreement would be approved by disinterested members of our management and board of directors under our procedures regarding related party transactions. We pay a service charge that generally reflects the same payment terms, and is calculated using the same cost allocation methodologies for the particular service, as those associated with our historical costs, and we reimburse Gaiam for any out-of-pocket expenses, including the cost of any third-party services required. We and Gaiam agree on the aggregate annual amount for a particular year that we will owe Gaiam for the services expected to be performed that year based upon the parties good faith estimates of those required services and the fees for such services. We incurred an aggregate of $316,000 of service charges during 2012 under the Intercorporate Services Agreement. The annual fee amount, as well as any changes, must be approved in writing by the disinterested members of each of our and Gaiams boards of directors. We relied less on Gaiams services under the Intercorporate Services Agreement in 2012 than historically. We expect this trend to continue in 2013.
Tax Sharing and Indemnification Agreement
Our Tax Sharing and Indemnification Agreement with Gaiam generally governs Gaiams and our rights, responsibilities, and obligations with respect to taxes. Under the Tax Sharing and Indemnification Agreement, we expect, with certain exceptions, that we will generally be responsible for the payment of all income and non-income taxes attributable to our operations and the operations of our direct and indirect subsidiaries, whether or not such tax liability is reflected on a consolidated or combined tax return filed by Gaiam. Under the Tax Sharing and Indemnification Agreement, we will be required to distribute to Gaiam the tax effect of any tax credit and loss carryforwards we become entitled to use that were created prior to our initial public offering. In addition, we generally will be responsible for a portion of any additional taxes that are required to be paid for periods prior to the initial public offering as a result of a tax audit. The Tax Sharing and Indemnification Agreement also sets forth the respective rights, responsibilities and
11
obligations between Gaiam and us with respect to the filing of tax returns, the administration of tax contests, assistance and cooperation and other tax matters. Under the Tax Sharing and Indemnification Agreement, we and Gaiam will each indemnify and hold harmless the other from and against any breach by a party of any representation, covenant, statement, promise or obligation of that party under this agreement. In addition, we will indemnify and hold harmless Gaiam from and against any liability under Section 355(e) of the Internal Revenue Code as a result of any action or failure to act by us, our directors, officers, or authorized agents. These indemnity obligations continue indefinitely, subject to any applicable statutes of limitations. On December 19, 2011 we entered into a First Amendment to Tax Sharing Agreement with Gaiam governing periods after the amendment date. The amendment carves out from the agreement tax items of the Alteris group that arose before our acquisition of Alteris and also clarifies how the true up of tax benefits works.
Registration Rights Agreement
Under our Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement with Gaiam and Riverside, each (or its permitted transferee) has the right to require us to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission all or any portion of its Class A Common Stock so that those shares may be publicly resold, or to include such shares in any registration statement we file, subject to certain exceptions, conditions and limitations. These rights include demand registration rights, Form S-3 registration rights and piggyback registration rights, in each case on and subject to the terms and conditions identified in the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement. We will generally pay all expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions, relating to all demand registrations, Form S-3 registrations and piggyback registrations. These registration rights terminate as to a given holder of registrable securities, when such holder of registrable securities can sell all of such holders registrable securities during any 90-day period pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, or pursuant to another similar exception. However, if a holder owns more than 10% of our outstanding securities, such holder shall continue to have registration rights until such time as all of the holders securities may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 or such holder owns less than 10% of our outstanding securities. The resale of these shares in the public market upon exercise of those registration rights could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
December 2011 Loan Commitment under Shareholders Agreement
Upon the closing of the Alteris transaction on December 19, 2011 and pursuant to the terms of the Shareholders Agreement with Gaiam and Riverside, we received commitments from Gaiam to loan us up to $1.7 million and from Riverside to loan us up to $3.15 million. Gaiam funded its loan commitment on December 30, 2011 and this loan had an extended maturity date of April 30, 2013. Riverside, through Riverside Fund III, L.P., an affiliated entity, funded $3.0 million of its loan commitment on May 4, 2012 and the remaining $150,000 on June 20, 2013. The Riverside loans had an original maturity date of May 4, 2013 and June 20, 2013, respectively.
In connection with the November 2012 Loan Commitment described below, on December 11, 2012, we extended the maturity date of Gaiams loan to April 30, 2013 and paid Gaiam an aggregate of $170,000 in interest on its loan. On March 27, 2013, our wholly-owned subsidiaries Real Goods Energy Tech, Inc., Real Goods Trading Corporation, and Alteris Renewables, Inc., entered into a Third Loan Modification Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (the Loan Modification). In connection with the Loan Modification the maturity date of the $1.7 million from Gaiam was further extended from April 30, 2013 to April 30, 2014, the maturity date of $3.0 million from Riverside was extended from May 4, 2013 to May 4, 2014, and the maturity date of the $150,000 from Riverside was extended from June 20, 2013 to June 20, 2014. On April 23, 2013, we and Gaiam agreed to convert $100,000 of the $1.7 million from Gaiam into shares of our Class A Common Stock. As a result of this transaction, the outstanding principal amount of the loan to Gaiam is now $1.6 million. The loans bear interest at a rate of 10%. We have not yet made any payments of principal on these loans and the full amount of the principal remains outstanding. We have not paid any interest on Riversides loans.
The loans are subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all indebtedness for borrowed money owed by us to any lenders unaffiliated with us. Payment of the unpaid principal and all accrued but unpaid interest under a loan is accelerated and become immediately due and payable upon the occurrence of certain events related to proceedings under bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar laws, the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, sequestrator, conservator or similar official for our company or a substantial part of our assets, and our making a general assignment for the benefit of creditors.
November 2012 Loan Commitment
On November 13, 2012, we entered into a Loan Commitment with Gaiam and Riverside pursuant to which each agreed to advance to us up to an additional $1.0 million in cash upon request from us until March 31, 2013. In addition, Gaiam agreed to extend the maturity date for the $1.7 million existing loan from Gaiam described above from December 30, 2012 to April 30, 2013 in exchange for us paying all interest then owed on the loan.
12
On December 11 and 13, 2012, respectively, Gaiam and Riverside each advanced us $1.0 million in cash pursuant to the Loan Commitment we entered into with them on November 13, 2012. Each loan is represented by a promissory note and bears interest at an annual rate of 10% per year, payable at maturity. The original maturity date of these loans was April 26, 2013. In connection with the Loan Modification, on March 27, 2013 the maturity date of theses loans was extended from April 26, 2013 to April 26, 2014. We have not yet made any payments of principal or interest on these loans and the full amount of the principal remains outstanding.
Each of the $1.0 million promissory notes entered into with Gaiam and Riverside during December 2012 also include certain customary language making the loans payable upon the occurrence of certain events, such as insolvency or bankruptcy. Also, if we complete a sale of at least $50,000 of capital stock, then each creditor has the option of converting all or any portion of the principal and interest owing on the loan in question into securities in such sale at the same purchase price as paid by other purchasers in such sale. If we fail to make payment of the principal and all interest owing on one or both of these loans within 10 days of when due, then the creditor has the option to acquire an undivided 50% interest in our real property located in Hopland, California (including all land and buildings) in exchange for cancellation of such principal and interest. This option is conditioned upon (1) the approval of the transaction by our disinterested directors, and (2) the consent of our senior creditor, Silicon Valley Bank. The loans are unsecured and subordinated to our indebtedness owed to unaffiliated creditors. Subject to the rights of senior debt, we have the right to prepay the loans at any time without premium or penalty.
Our Policies Regarding Review, Approval or Ratification of Related-Party Transactions
Any related-party transaction is reviewed by disinterested members of management and, if material, by disinterested members of our board of directors or a committee thereof to ensure that the transaction reflects terms that are at least as favorable for us as we would expect in a similar transaction negotiated at arms length by unrelated parties.
DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Our board of directors currently consists of eight members and meets regularly during the year. Our board of directors has determined that each of Messrs. Rysavy, Bouska, Belluck, Kaufman and Scott and Ms. Mowry are independent as defined by the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market. Membership on our audit committee and compensation committee is limited to independent directors.

For 2012, our audit committee pre-approved all such services. Pre-approved services include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. In some cases, pre-approval is provided by the full audit committee for up to one year, and such services relate to a particular defined task or scope of work and are subject to a specific budget. In other cases, the chairperson of our audit committee has the delegated authority from our audit committee to pre-approve additional services, and such action is then communicated to the full audit committee at the next audit committee meeting. To avoid certain potential conflicts of interest, the law prohibits a publicly traded company from obtaining certain non-audit services from its auditing firm. If we need such services, we obtain them from other service providers.

EKS&H is currently engaged to provide auditing services through the third quarter of 2013. Our audit committee is in negotiations with EKS&H to be our independent registered public accounting firm for the remainder of 2013. Representatives of EKS&H are expected to be present at our 2013 annual meeting of shareholders and will have an opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so. We expect EKS&H to be available to respond to appropriate questions.
