In addition, in the event that the transferring Shareholder does not retain voting power of the Shares Transferred as permitted pursuant to this Agreement, the voting power with respect to the Transferred Shares shall lapse with respect to such transferring Shareholder. For purposes of this Agreement, (i) references to a Shareholder’s Shares shall be deemed to mean any Shares held by such Shareholder plus any Shares transferred in violation of this Section 9 and (ii) if such Shareholder is required to sell any of its Shares pursuant to this Agreement, then prior to such sale, such Shareholder shall repurchase any and all Shares transferred in violation of this Section 9 so that such Shareholder, at the time of such sale, can sell all of its Shares free and clear of any and all liens, security interests, adverse claims, restrictions and other encumbrances, other than those imposed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Organizational Documents.

11. Accounting, Tax and Financial Matters

11.1 Financial and Other Information. The JVC shall appoint an internationally well-known accounting firm to perform the accounting services for the JVC. The JVC shall, at the JVC’s expense, prepare its financial reports in accordance with Malaysia GAAP and provide routine reports to the Shareholders as reasonably requested by them in formats they may reasonably specify.

The starting balance for the JVC’s third fiscal quarter of 2010 will be SPTL’ then existing financial statements for the JVC, which will reflect that interest in Construction in Progress (CIP) has been capitalized in the JVC financials.

11.2 Basic Financial Inspection Rights. During the regular office hours of the JVC, and upon twenty-four (24) hours’ notice to the JVC, each Shareholder shall have (i) full access to all properties, books of account and records of the JVC, and (ii) the right to make copies from such books and records at their own expense.

The Shareholders shall review each proposed Business Plan and Budget in a reasonable and expeditious manner. In the event that both Shareholders are unable to agree on any Business Plan and Budget prior to December 1 of the fiscal year in which such Business Plan and Budget were submitted or required to be submitted, or such later date as both Shareholders may designate, either Shareholder may deliver a written notice to the Shareholders’ respective chief executive officers (or their designees with binding authority to act on behalf of the applicable Shareholder, it being agreed that the Shareholders will attempt in good faith to involve directly their respective chief executive officers) for their review and resolution in such manner as they deem necessary or appropriate. Such resolution, if any, must occur prior to December 31 of the fiscal year in which such Business Plan and Budget were submitted or required to be submitted, or such later date as both Shareholders may designate. If the matter is resolved by the chief executive officers, the Shareholders shall, and shall cause the Directors solely nominated by them to, vote and/or take all other reasonable actions which may be necessary to cause the JVC to act in accordance with such resolution.

11.4 Fiscal Year. If any Shareholder consolidates its interest in the JVC for accounting purposes, then, while such Shareholder continues to consolidate its interest in the JVC for accounting purposes, the fiscal year of the JVC shall match the fiscal year of such Shareholder. If neither Shareholder consolidates its interest in the JVC for accounting purposes, then the Parties shall discuss in good faith how to meet the reporting requirements of both Shareholders and agree upon the fiscal year of the JVC.

11.5 Tax Returns.

(a) SPTL shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, on behalf of the JVC, all Tax Returns of the JVC that are due with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period that is not part of a Straddle Period. SPTL shall have authority to determine the manner in which any items of income, gain, deduction, loss or credit arising out of the income, properties and operations of the JVC shall be reported or disclosed in such Tax Returns; provided that such Tax Returns shall be prepared by treating items on such Tax Returns in a manner consistent with past practice with respect to such items, unless otherwise required by applicable Law. The JVC shall cause an appropriate, authorized person to sign such Tax Returns on behalf of the JVC. SPTL shall pay or cause to be paid all Taxes imposed on the JVC shown as due and owing on such Tax Returns.

(b) SPTL shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, on behalf of the JVC, all Tax Returns of the JVC that are due with respect to a Straddle Period; provided that such Tax Returns shall be prepared by treating items on such Tax Returns in a manner consistent with past practice, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

SPTL shall pay or cause to be paid all Taxes attributable to the Pre-Closing Straddle Period imposed on the JVC shown as due and owing on

such Tax Returns, and the JVC shall pay or cause to be paid all Taxes attributable to the Post-Closing Straddle Period imposed on the JVC shown as due and owing on such Tax Returns.

The JVC shall pay or cause to be paid all Taxes imposed on the JVC shown as due and owing on such Tax Returns.

Information required for the preparation of each Shareholder’s Tax Returns shall be furnished to each Shareholder, as the case may be, as soon as possible after the close of the JVC’s fiscal year and, in any event, no later than the date on which the income Tax Return for such fiscal year is submitted to the Shareholders for review pursuant to Section 11.5(d).

11.6 Apportionment of Taxes. For purposes of this Agreement, all Taxes and Tax liabilities with respect to the income, property, employees or operations of the JVC, as the case may be, that relate to a taxable period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”) shall be apportioned between the period of the Straddle Period that extends before the Closing Date through the day before the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Straddle Period”) and the period of the Straddle Period that extends from the Closing Date to the end of the Straddle Period (the “Post-Closing Straddle Period”) in accordance with this Section 11.6. The portion of such Tax related to the Pre-Closing Straddle Period shall: (a) in the case of Taxes other than sales and use taxes, value-added taxes, employment and payroll taxes and any Tax based on or measured by income, receipts or profits earned during a Straddle Period, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Pre-Closing Straddle Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period and (b) in the case of any sales or use taxes, value-added taxes, employment and payroll taxes and any Tax based on or measured by income, receipts or profits earned during a Straddle Period, be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant taxable period or Tax year in which the income, receipts or profits were earned ended on and included the Closing Date. To the extent any income Tax is based on the greater of a Tax on net income, on the one hand, and a Tax measured by net worth or some other basis not otherwise measured by income, on the other, the portion of such Tax related to the Pre-Closing Straddle Period shall be deemed to be the greater of (i) the amount of such Tax measured by net worth or other basis determined as though the taxable values for the entire Straddle Period equal the respective values as of the end of the day on the Closing Date and multiplying the amount of such Tax by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days during the Straddle Period that are in the Pre-Closing Straddle Period and denominator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period or (ii) the amount of such Tax measured by net

income determined as though the applicable Tax period terminated as of the end of the day on the Closing Date. The portion of Tax related to the Post-Closing Straddle Period shall be calculated in a corresponding manner.

11.7 Cooperation; Audits. In connection with the preparation of Tax Returns, audit examinations, and any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to the Tax liabilities imposed on the JVC for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods, SPTL, on the one hand, and the JVC, on the other hand, shall cooperate fully with each other, including the furnishing or making available during normal business hours of records, personnel (as reasonably required), books of account, powers of attorney or other materials necessary or helpful for the preparation of such Tax Returns, the conduct of audit examinations or the defense of claims by Taxing Authorities as to the imposition of Taxes.

11.8 Controversies. The JVC shall promptly notify SPTL in writing upon receipt by the JVC of written notice of any inquiries, claims, assessments, audits or similar events with respect to Taxes relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period for which SPTL may be liable under this Agreement (any such inquiry, claim, assessment, audit or similar event, a “Tax Matter”). SPTL, at the sole expense of SPTL, shall have the authority to represent the interests of the JVC with respect to any Tax Matter before any Governmental Authority and shall have the right to extend or waive the statute of limitations with respect to a Tax Matter and to control the defense, compromise or other resolution of any Tax Matter, including responding to inquiries and settling audits; provided, however, that SPTL shall not enter into any settlement of or otherwise compromise any Tax Matter that affects or may affect the Tax liability of the JVC for any Post-Closing Tax Period, including the portion of a period beginning before the Closing Date and ending after the Closing Date, without the prior written consent of AUO (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). SPTL shall keep AUO fully and timely informed with respect to the commencement, status and nature of any Tax Matter. SPTL shall, in good faith, consult with AUO regarding the conduct of or positions taken in any such proceeding that relates to any Post-Closing Tax Period or Post-Closing Straddle Period.

11.9 Other Tax Matters. The JVC has elected to be treated as a disregarded entity for United States federal income tax purposes, and following the issuance of any Shares to AUO will be treated as a partnership for such purposes. The JVC shall not, and each Shareholder shall neither authorize nor knowingly permit the JVC to, change such election without the prior written consent of both Shareholders. For United States federal income tax purposes, the JVC shall determine and allocate items of income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit to SPTL in accordance with United States Treasury Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(i).

11.10 Insurance. The JVC shall obtain from and/or maintain with, as applicable, responsible and reputable insurance companies or associations, insurance in such amounts and covering such risks as the Board reasonably deems advisable. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the JVC shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain and maintain on reasonable business terms directors and officers’ liability insurance in an amount requested by the Board, so long as such insurance may be obtained and maintained on commercially reasonable terms as determined by the Board.

11.11 Shareholder Services to the JVC. At the written request of any Party from time to time, the Parties shall cooperate with each other in identifying whether there are any services that the Parties mutually determine would be better provided by a Shareholder (or any of its controlled Affiliates) rather than by the JVC itself. If and to the extent the Parties mutually agree

on any such services and the terms and conditions of the provision of such services, the Parties shall cooperate with each other in memorializing such mutual agreement in writing. The Parties will agree in writing to a form that could be used from time to time for any such written agreement.

12. Deadlock

12.1 Determination of Deadlock. In the event (i) (A) SPTL and AUO, or Directors constituting a Required Board Majority, are unable after discussions with each other to resolve any matter, which if not resolved, would, in the good faith judgment of any Shareholder or any Director, as the case may be, substantially impair the JVC’s ability to operate in accordance with the then most recent Business Plan approved by a Required Board Majority or would reasonably be likely to result in any event, effect or circumstance that would be materially adverse to the business, financial condition or results of operations of the JVC and its subsidiaries (if any) taken as a whole and (B) the JVC is not then in material breach of any of the covenants contained in this Agreement with respect to such matter or (ii) if the Shareholders and their Affiliates do not purchase greater than *** percent (***%) of the total number of Solar Cells that the JVC and its subsidiaries (if any) are capable of manufacturing during any fiscal quarter and the Shareholders also do not purchase greater than *** percent (***%) of the total number of Solar Cells that the JVC and its subsidiaries (if any) are capable of manufacturing during the next fiscal quarter following thereafter, then, in either such case, any Shareholder may deliver a written notice to the Shareholders’ respective chief executive officers (or their designees with binding authority to act on behalf of the applicable Shareholder, it being agreed that the Shareholders will attempt in good faith to involve directly their respective chief executive officers) for their review and resolution in such manner as they deem necessary or appropriate. Such resolution, if any, must occur within forty-five (45) days following the written submission to them of the matter. If the matter is resolved by the chief executive officers, the Shareholders shall, and shall cause the Directors solely nominated by them to, vote and/or take all other reasonable actions which may be necessary to cause the JVC to act in accordance with such resolution. If such matter is not resolved within such time period, each of AUO and SPTL shall be free to give the other a written notice (the “Deadlock Notice”) specifying that such notice is a Deadlock Notice for purposes of this Section 12 and specifying that the notifying party desires to trigger the remedies contemplated by this Section 12. A Deadlock Notice must be given, if at all, within twenty (20) Business Days following the end of the forty five (45) day period referred to above.

12.2 Requirement to Make Decision. If a Deadlock Notice is given by at least one of the Shareholders in accordance with Section 12.1, each Shareholder may, not later than the 15th day following the giving of the Deadlock Notice, give written notice (a “Deadlock Decision Notice”) to the other Shareholder specifying that such notice is a Deadlock Decision Notice for purposes of this Section 12 and specifying that the notifying Shareholder desires unconditionally either to:

(a) sell all of its Shares or liquidate the JVC (and whether it exercises its right to reduce all or any portion of its (or applicable Affiliate thereof) allocated supply pursuant to and in accordance with the applicable supply agreement to which it (or applicable Affiliate thereof) and the JVC are parties); or

(b) purchase all of the Shares of the other Shareholder.

***	CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL REDACTED AND SEPARATELY FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

If, within the time period set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, any Shareholder fails to deliver a Deadlock Decision Notice to the other Shareholder, then any such Shareholder who failed to deliver a Deadlock Decision Notice shall be deemed for purposes of this Section 12 to (i) desire to sell all of its Shares or liquidate the JVC and (ii) not have elected to reduce all or any portion of its allocated supply pursuant to and in accordance with the applicable supply agreement to which it (or applicable Affiliate thereof) and the JVC are parties. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that if, within the time period set forth in the first sentence of this Section 12.2, both Shareholders fail to deliver a Deadlock Decision Notice to each other, then both Shareholders shall be deemed for purposes of this Section 12 to desire to sell all of its Shares or liquidate the JVC.

12.3 Both Desire to Sell or Liquidate. If (i) a Deadlock Notice has been given pursuant to Section 12.1 and (ii) each Shareholder desires (as set forth in its Deadlock Decision Notice) or is deemed to desire (pursuant to Section 12.2) to sell all of its Shares or liquidate the JVC, then the following provisions shall be operative:

(a) The Shareholders shall promptly thereafter use all reasonable efforts to cause the JVC to be dissolved and liquidated and to distribute the proceeds of such dissolution or liquidation as soon as reasonably practicable (but in an orderly and businesslike manner so as not to involve undue sacrifice) and shall cooperate in good faith with each other for such purpose. Without limiting the foregoing, subject to the approval Section 7.4, the JVC shall appoint a liquidator, who shall be independent of the JVC and the Shareholders, to oversee and lead the dissolution and liquidation of the JVC and the distribution of the proceeds of such dissolution in a timely manner.

(b) Subject to applicable Law, the Shareholders agree that the proceeds of such dissolution or liquidation shall be distributed to the Shareholders as follows and in the following order of priority: (i) first, repay all debts and liabilities of the JVC, including the fee to the independent liquidator and any other preferential claims arised in connection with the liquidation, (ii) second, repay, on a pro rata basis based upon the number of Shares then held by the Shareholders, all financial contributions and expenses incurred by the Shareholders, less any profits received by them, with respect to the JVC, and (iii) third, distribute, on a pro rata basis based upon the number of Shares then held by the Shareholders, all remaining proceeds, if any, to the Shareholders. At any Shareholder’s election, delivered in writing to the other Shareholder no later than five (5) Business Days after the giving of the Deadlock Notice, the Shareholders shall (A) work in good faith to agree upon an Independent Financial Expert (and if the Shareholders are not able to agree upon an Independent Financial Expert within five (5) days, each Shareholder shall appoint an Independent Financial Expert as a representative and cause it to jointly, together with such other representatives, select the single “Independent Financial Expert” hereunder) and (B) engage such selected Independent Financial Expert to determine the proper amounts due to each Shareholder pursuant to this Section 12. The fees and expenses of the Independent Financial Expert shall be borne equally by the Shareholders.

12.4 One Desires to Sell or Liquidate; One Desires to Purchase. If (i) a Deadlock Notice has been given pursuant to Section 12.1, (ii) one Shareholder (the “Deadlock Selling Shareholder”) desires (as set forth in its Deadlock Decision Notice) or is deemed to desire (pursuant to Section 12.2) to sell all of its Shares or liquidate the JVC, and (iii) the other Shareholder (the “Deadlock Purchasing Shareholder”) desires (as set forth in its Deadlock

Decision Notice) to purchase all of the Shares of the Deadlock Selling Shareholder, then the following provisions shall be operative:

(a) If the Deadlock Selling Shareholder has, in its Deadlock Decision Notice, elected to exercises its right to reduce all or any portion of its allocated supply pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the supply agreement to which it (or applicable Affiliate thereof) and the JVC are parties, then as soon as practicable after the date that such Deadlock Decision Notice has been given pursuant to Section 12.2, the JVC and the Deadlock Purchasing Shareholder shall take such actions as are reasonably necessary to promptly provide that the allocation and associated obligations of the Deadlock Selling Shareholder (or applicable Affiliate thereof) under such supply agreement are so reduced pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of such supply agreement. In addition, if the Deadlock Selling Shareholder is AUO, then (i) SPTL shall have the right, exercisable by delivering written notice to AUO within ten (10) Business Days after the date of AUO’ Deadlock Notice, to (A) reduce all or any portion of the allocated supply of AUO (or applicable Affiliate thereof), pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the AUO Supply Agreement and (B) increase the allocated supply of SPTL (or applicable Affiliate thereof) by the amount which the allocated supply of AUO (or applicable Affiliate thereof) was so reduced, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the SPTL Supply Agreement, and (ii) if SPTL so exercises such right described in clause (i) of this sentence, then as soon as practicable thereafter, the Parties shall take such actions as are reasonably necessary to promptly provide that the allocation and associated obligations of AUO (or applicable Affiliate thereof) under the AUO Supply Agreement are so reduced, and that the allocation and associated obligations of SPTL (or applicable Affiliate thereof) under the SPTL Supply Agreement are so increased, in each case pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of such supply agreements; provided, however, that if the total amount of such reduction exceeds five percent (5%) of the total percentage of the aggregate Solar Cell manufacturing capacity of the JVC and its subsidiaries (if any), then, in accordance with the applicable supply agreements, such reduction (and such corresponding increase to SPTL or applicable Affiliate thereof) shall be implemented over time at a rate per fiscal quarter equal to the lesser of (i) five percent (5%) of the total percentage of the aggregate Solar Cell manufacturing capacity of the JVC and its subsidiaries (if any) or (ii) the total amount of such reduction then left remaining to be implemented.

(b) The Shareholders shall promptly (A) work in good faith to agree upon an Independent Financial Expert (and if the Shareholders are not able to agree upon an Independent Financial Expert within five (5) days, each Shareholder shall appoint an Independent Financial Expert as a representative and cause it to jointly, together with such other representatives, select the single “Independent Financial Expert” hereunder) and (B) engage such selected Independent Financial Expert to determine the Fair Market Value of the Deadlock Selling Shareholder’s Shares. The fees and expenses of the Independent Financial Expert shall be borne equally by the Shareholders.

(c) The purchase and sale of the Deadlock Selling Shareholder’s Shares shall be consummated as soon as practicable following such determination of Fair Market Value by the Independent Financial Expert, but in no event more than thirty (30) days thereafter (subject to any extension necessary to comply with any applicable governmental and/or regulatory requirement). Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, the date, time and location for the closing of the purchase and sale shall be mutually agreed upon by the Shareholders; provided, however, that if an agreement cannot be reached by the Shareholders within five (5) Business

Days after such determinations are made by the Independent Financial Expert, then such closing shall take place at 10:00 a.m. (local time) at the principal office in Malaysia of the JVC’s outside accounting firm referred to in Section 11.1, on the 15th Business Day following the date such determinations are made by the Independent Financial Expert (or, if later, the fifth Business Day following the expiration of any such extension necessary to comply with any applicable governmental and/or regulatory requirement).

(d) At such closing, the Deadlock Selling Shareholder shall sell, and the Deadlock Purchasing Shareholder shall purchase, the Deadlock Selling Shareholder’s Shares. The Deadlock Selling Shareholder’s Shares, including all evidences of ownership (including stock certificates endorsed in blank), shall be conveyed by the Deadlock Selling Shareholder to the Deadlock Purchasing Shareholder at such closing, free and clear of any and all liens, security interests, adverse claims, restrictions and other encumbrances, other than those imposed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Organizational Documents. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the only representations and warranties made by the Deadlock Selling Shareholder with respect to such Deadlock Selling Shareholder’s Shares will be the matters set forth in the preceding sentence and the Deadlock Selling Shareholder’s ownership of the Deadlock Selling Shareholder’s Shares.

(e) The purchase price of the Deadlock Selling Shareholder’s Shares shall be the Fair Market Value of the Deadlock Selling Shareholder’s Shares as determined by the Independent Financial Expert. The purchase price shall, subject to all applicable government restrictions and regulations, be paid by the Deadlock Purchasing Shareholder at such closing by wire transfer of immediately available funds in a single payment to an account designated in writing and delivered by the Deadlock Selling Shareholder to the Deadlock Purchasing Shareholder no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the date of such closing.

(f) If such closing occurs at least five (5) years after the date of this Agreement, then (i) the Deadlock Purchasing Shareholder shall use its reasonable best efforts to assume any and all obligations of the Deadlock Selling Shareholder to the JVC under any guarantees that were made by the Deadlock Selling Shareholder to the JVC prior to the date of the Deadlock Notice and (ii) the Parties shall cooperate with each other, and take such actions as are reasonably necessary and requested by any Party to accomplish the foregoing.

(g) Upon the occurrence of such closing, if the Deadlock Selling Shareholder is SPTL, then the following additional provisions shall be operative:

(i) If the total percentage of the aggregate Solar Cell manufacturing capacity of the JVC and its subsidiaries (if any) that is required to be offered to SPTL (or applicable Affiliate thereof) under the SPTL Supply Agreement, as of such closing but after giving effect to the completion of any reductions in the allocated supply under the SPTL Supply Agreement due to Section 12.4(a) (ignoring for this purpose the proviso at the end of the last sentence of Section 12.4(a), such that it is assumed that the full amount of such reduction may be made immediately) (such total percentage being referred to the “Post-Deadlock SPTL Allocated Supply Percentage”), is at least *** percent (***%), then none of the provisions contained in this Section 12.4(g) shall have any force or effect.

(ii) If the Post-Deadlock SPTL Allocated Supply Percentage is less than *** percent (***%), then, from and after such closing and notwithstanding the provisions of Section 17.1(a), (A) the definition of “Non-Permitted Countries” shall automatically be amended

to mean, and references to such term shall mean, the United States and (B) the definition of “Permitted Countries” shall automatically be amended to mean, and references to such term shall mean, any country other than the United States.

12.5 Both Desire to Purchase. If (i) a Deadlock Notice has been given pursuant to Section 12.1 and (ii) both Shareholders desire (as set forth in their respective Deadlock Decision Notices) to purchase all of the Shares of the other, then (A) the JVC will not be liquidated, (B) no Shareholder will have the right to purchase the other Shareholders’ Shares with respect to such Deadlock Notice, and (C) no Shareholder may deliver any written notice pursuant to Section 12.1 until one (1) year after the date of the delivery of such Deadlock Notice.

As part of such obligation, AUO shall not, and shall cause each of its direct and indirect subsidiaries and any other controlled Affiliates (other than the JVC) not to, knowingly permit sales of any AUO Allocated Solar Cells to any Persons that will re-sell such AUO Allocated Solar Cells outside or for use outside of the Permitted Countries and AUO shall, and shall cause each of its direct and indirect subsidiaries and any other controlled Affiliates (other than the JVC) to, include as part of its sales contracts an obligation for the purchaser of any AUO Allocated Solar Cells not to so re-sell such Allocated Solar Cells outside of the Permitted Countries. For purposes of this Agreement, (i) the term “AUO Allocated Solar Cells” shall mean the Solar Cells manufactured by the JVC and purchased by AUO or its direct or indirect subsidiaries pursuant to the AUO Supply Agreement, (ii) subject to the provisions of Section 12.4(g)(ii), if applicable, the term “Non-Permitted Countries” shall mean each country or region in the world, other than any Permitted Countries; it being acknowledged for the avoidance of doubt that the United States, Japan and Australia shall be deemed to be Non-Permitted Countries, and (iii) subject to the provisions of Section 12.4(g)(ii), if applicable, the term “Permitted Countries” shall mean any country or region in Asia other than Japan and Australia. It is agreed that the restrictions on AUO set forth in this Section shall be applicable to output from only Fab 3. For so long as this Section 7.1(a) is in effect, (i) AUO shall maintain, and cause its direct and indirect subsidiaries and any other controlled Affiliates (other than the JVC) to maintain, books and records for all sales of AUO Allocated Solar Cells in accordance with normal and acceptable accounting practices, (ii) AUO shall maintain a master log that documents when and to whom each of the AUO Allocated Solar Cells were sold by AUO or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries or any other controlled Affiliates (other than the JVC), (iii) during regular office hours of AUO or such other applicable entity holding such books and records, and upon twenty-four (24) hours’ notice to AUO, but not more frequently than one audit per year, an independent third party that is selected from time to time by SPTL and reasonably acceptable to AUO, and that shall have entered into a customary confidentiality agreement with AUO (it being acknowledged, for the avoidance of doubt, that the confidentiality agreement will permit the disclosure contemplated under clause (iv) below), shall have full access to, and the right to inspect, audit and make copies at SPTL’ expense of, such master log and the applicable portions of such books and records with respect to the sales of all of the AUO Allocated Solar Cells, (iv) SPTL and such independent third party shall have the right to freely confer with each other, and such independent third party may disclose to SPTL the results of its audit, with the focus limited to only whether AUO is in compliance with the provisions contained in this Section 17.1(a), provided that, without the prior written consent of AUO, such independent third party may not disclose the identity of the Persons to whom such sales were made, and (v) if it is discovered in any such audit that AUO is not in compliance

In that case, AUO and SPTL will work together in good faith to determine the appropriate mechanisms to avoid potential resale of UL-listed modules to the U.S.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that SPTL and its direct and indirect subsidiaries and any other controlled Affiliates (other than the JVC) shall not be subject to any of the restrictions contained in Sections 17.1(a), 17.1(b)

The foregoing restriction shall not affect any Shareholder’s ability to (i) solicit or employ any employee of the other Shareholder, the JVC or any of their respective controlled Affiliates after such individual has separated or been separated from the service of the other Shareholder, the JVC or any of their respective controlled Affiliates, provided that such Shareholder did not induce such separation; (ii) solicit or recruit generally in the media; or (iii) employ any employee of the other Shareholder, the JVC or any of their respective controlled Affiliates who respond to public advertisement or any other general solicitation for employment or otherwise voluntarily applies for a position without having been initially solicited or recruited by such Shareholder.

17.2 JVC Restrictions.

(a) From and after the time, if any, when SPTL and its permitted transferees (if any) no longer own any Shares pursuant to a sale transaction contemplated by Section 12 or Section 13, the JVC shall not, the JVC shall cause its subsidiaries (if any) not to, and AUO shall cause the JVC and its subsidiaries (if any) not to, expand the aggregate production capacity of the JVC and its subsidiaries (if any) beyond the production capacity of the JVC and its subsidiaries (if any) as of immediately prior to the closing of such sale transaction.

(b) Without the prior written consent of SPTL (which consent may be withheld in its sole discretion), for a period extending from the Closing Date until January 2, 2012, the JVC shall not provide any specifications or other technical information with respect to any mono-crystalline silicon ingots to any supplier of ingots in the Republic of Korea other than Woongjin Energy Co. Ltd., a company organized and existing under the laws of the Republic of Korea.

The Parties recognize that the FCPA prohibits the payment or giving of anything of value either directly or indirectly to a government official for the purpose of influencing an act or decision in his or her official capacity, or for the purpose of inducing him or her to use his or her influence with his or her government to assist a company in obtaining or retaining business for or with, or directing business to, any Person.

(b) Each Party agrees to comply, and each Shareholder shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that the JVC complies, with the FCPA, and each Party shall take no action that would cause itself or any other Party to be in violation of the FCPA. All Parties agree that any Party is authorized to take all appropriate actions that such Party reasonably deems is necessary to avoid a violation of the FCPA.

(c) Each Party shall each use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that no part of the JVC capital or other funds will be accepted or used by the JVC for any purpose, nor will it take any action, which would constitute a violation of any Law of the various jurisdictions in which it conducts business. Should any Party ever receive, directly or indirectly, a request that any of them believes will or might constitute, or be construed as, a violation of the FCPA or other similar Law, it shall immediately notify the other Parties.

(d) Without limiting the foregoing, the JVC shall not, and the Shareholders shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the JVC not to, directly or indirectly, (i) make any illegal contribution, gift, bribe, rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback or other payment to any Person, private or public, regardless of form, whether in money, property or services, (A) to obtain favorable treatment for the JVC or any Affiliate of the JVC in securing business, (B) to pay for favorable treatment for business secured for the JVC or any Affiliate of the JVC, or (C) to obtain special concessions, or for special concessions already obtained, for or in respect of the JVC or any Affiliate of the JVC or (ii) accept or otherwise receive any unlawful contribution, payment, gift, kickback, expenditure or other item of value.

(e) Each Party shall keep and maintain accurate books and records necessary to demonstrate compliance with the foregoing provision of this Section 18.8, and each Party may, during the term of this Agreement and for a period of five (5) years following the termination of this Agreement, review or audit such books and records of the other Parties.

18.9 Compliance with National Laws and Regulations. To the extent the details of the requirements are notified to the Shareholders and the JVC, the Shareholders shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the JVC to perform such acts as any of the Shareholders shall request as reasonably necessary to permit such Shareholder to comply with all Laws and regulations applicable to companies in general and publicly reporting companies in particular including but not limited to: (i) the Exchange Act and the Securities Act and the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder; (ii) the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder; (iii) the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules; (iv) the Securities Exchange Act of the Republic of China (Taiwan) and the rules promulgated thereunder (including the rules promulgated by the Taiwan Stock Exchange); (v) any applicable Laws governing anti-money laundering and/or anti-terrorism financing measures; and (vi) any Laws and regulations imposed by any regulatory authority in Malaysia in respect of the JVC, any Shareholder or the business of the JVC. Without limiting the foregoing, the JVC shall establish, maintain, adhere to and enforce a system of internal accounting controls which are effective in providing assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

18.10 Severability. In the event that any term, condition or provision of this Agreement is held to be or become invalid or be a violation of any applicable Law, statute or regulation, the

same shall be deemed to be deleted from this Agreement and shall be of no force and effect and the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect as if such term, condition or provision had not originally been contained in this Agreement. The validity and enforceability of the other provisions shall not be affected thereby. In such case or in the event that this Agreement should have a gap, the Parties hereto shall agree on a valid and enforceable provision completing this Agreement, coming as close as possible to the economic intentions of the Parties. In the event of a partial invalidity the Parties agree that this Agreement shall remain in force without the invalid part. This shall also apply if parts of this Agreement are partially invalid.

1.2	Master Agreement Structure. The Parties acknowledge that this Agreement shall not constitute a commitment to purchase any particular quantity of Products or services.

- 1 -

Except as provided in Section 2.8, Buyer shall only be committed to purchase Products and the JVC shall only be committed and authorized to ship Products to Buyer when Buyer has tendered a Purchase Order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the JVC shall offer for sale to Buyer, in the fiscal years specified, the following percentage of the JVC’s aggregate Product manufacturing capacity on any six-month period as is set forth in the Initial Annual Operating Plan or the Initial Mid-Year Operating Plan, as applicable: 95% in 2010, 90% in 2011, 85% in 2012 and 80% in 2013 or in any fiscal year thereafter.

2.	FORECASTS AND PURCHASE ORDERS.

2.1

Initial Annual Operating Plan. The JVC will provide Buyer with an initial production forecast, issued at least 8 weeks prior to the first day of each fiscal year, which sets forth the JVC’s good faith estimate of the aggregate amount of Product that the JVC will produce in such year on a monthly basis (the “Initial Annual Operating Plan”).

2.2

Annual Demand Forecast. Buyer will provide the JVC with an annual demand forecast, issued at least 7 weeks prior to the first day of each fiscal year, which sets forth Buyer’s Product demand for such fiscal year on a monthly basis (the “Annual Demand Forecast”); provided, however, that for any fiscal year, such demand shall not exceed the amount of Product set forth in the Initial Annual Operating Plan for such year or that the JVC is obligated to provide to Buyer in such year pursuant to Section 1.2. The difference between Buyer’s Product allocation and Annual Demand Forecast shall be known as the “SPSW Unsubscribed Annual Forecast.” If Buyer’s Annual Demand Forecast is less than Buyer’s Product allocation for the first six months in any year pursuant to Section 1.2, then during the term of that certain Supply Agreement among the JVC, AUO and SPTL dated f even date herewith (“AUO Supply Agreement”), the JVC shall deliver notice to AUO that it or may subscribe to purchase the SPSW Unsubscribed Annual Forecast with respect to such six months. AUO shall confirm in writing within 7 days whether it will purchase all or a portion of the SPSW Unsubscribed Annual Forecast. If AUO’s Product demand for the first six months of any fiscal year (the “AUO Annual Demand Forecast”) pursuant to the AUO Supply Agreement is less than AUO’s Product allocation for such six month period pursuant to the AUO Supply Agreement, then during the term of this Agreement, the JVC shall deliver notice to Buyer that it may subscribe to purchase the difference between such Product allocation and the AUO Annual Demand Forecast (the “AUO Unsubscribed Annual Forecast”) with respect to the applicable six month period of such AUO Annual Demand Forecast. Buyer shall confirm in writing within 7 days whether it will purchase all or a portion of the AUO Unsubscribed Annual Forecast.

The Final Annual Operating Plan shall have been approved by the Board prior to its delivery to Buyer. If AUO elects not to purchase all of the SPSW Unsubscribed Annual Forecast for any six month period or if Buyer elects not to purchase all of the AUO Unsubscribed Annual Forecast for any six month period pursuant to Section 2.2, then the JVC shall use best efforts to minimize Fixed and Variable Costs for such six month period.

2.4

Initial Mid-Year Operating Plan. The JVC will provide Buyer with an initial production forecast, issued at least 8 weeks prior to the first day of the third fiscal quarter, which sets forth the JVC’s good faith estimate of the aggregate amount of Product that the JVC will produce in the third and fourth quarter of such fiscal year on a monthly basis (the “Initial Mid-Year Operating Plan”).

2.5

Mid-Year Demand Forecast. Buyer will provide the JVC with a demand forecast, issued at least 7 weeks prior to the first day of the third fiscal quarter, which sets forth Buyer’s Product demand for the third and fourth quarter of such fiscal year on a monthly basis (the “Mid-Year Demand Forecast”); provided, however, that for any six month period, such demand shall not exceed the amount of Product set forth in the Initial Mid-Year Operating Plan or the amount that the JVC is obligated to provide to Buyer over the applicable six month period pursuant to Section 1.2. The difference between Buyer’s Product allocation for any six month period and Mid-Year Demand Forecast for such period shall be known as the “SPSW Unsubscribed Mid-Year Forecast.” If Buyer’s Mid-Year Demand Forecast is less than Buyer’s Product allocation for the applicable six month period pursuant to Section 1.2, then during the term of the AUO Supply Agreement, the JVC shall deliver notice to AUO that it may subscribe to purchase the SPSW Unsubscribed Mid-Year Forecast with respect to such six month period.

2.7

Monthly Demand Allocation. The JVC will deliver to Buyer a demand allocation once per month, which sets forth the aggregate amount of Product that the JVC expects to produce during the following month and sets forth the amount of Product to be purchased by Buyer and AUO during such month based on the JVC’s expected production and each of Buyer’s and AUO’s percentage of aggregate Product demand for such month pursuant

2.8

Purchase Order. Buyer shall deliver a Purchase Order to the JVC in the first week of the then current month to confirm purchase commitments consistent with the Monthly Demand Allocation for the subsequent month of such Monthly Demand Allocation. Purchase Orders are a binding commitment to purchase Product. The JVC shall deliver a formal acknowledgement and acceptance within two business days from the date the Purchase Order was sent to the JVC. In the event that the JVC does not receive a Purchaser Order from Buyer with respect to any given month within the first 10 days of the prior month, Buyer shall be obligated in such given month to purchase an amount of Product consistent with the Monthly Demand Allocation for such month.

The pricing model under this Agreement shall be an “Open Book” model, and therefore the JVC agrees to disclose to SPSW and AUO all costs incurred in connection with or under this Agreement, and the JVC shall provide, upon request by either of SPSW and AUO and at a mutually agreed upon frequency, system generated documentation to substantiate such costs as they were actually incurred.

Pricing for Product to be offered to Buyer shall be on a per Watt basis set prior to the beginning of each month. At the end of the month, a per Watt True-Up Amount shall be calculated and applied as described below. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Exhibit A to the contrary, through the end of the second fiscal quarter of 2011, pricing and any per Watt True-Up Amount for Product shall be set and calculated on a quarterly basis.

The pricing set prior the beginning of any given month with respect to Buyer shall be determined as follows:

Price per Watt = ((Projected per Watt Fixed Cost + Projected per Watt Variable Costs) * (1 + Premium Percentage)),

where:

Projected per Watt Fixed Cost allocated to Buyer is described below;

Projected per Watt Variable Cost allocated to Buyer is described below;

“Projected Monthly Cost” is defined as the sum of the Projected per Watt Fixed Cost and the Projected per Watt Variable Cost; and

Premium Percentage shall equal ***% for ***, and shall equal ***% starting in ***, subject to adjustment as set forth below.

The Projected per Watt Fixed Cost to be allocated to Buyer for any given month shall be determined as follows:

Projected per Watt Fixed Cost = Total Fixed Costs * ((SPSW Demand Forecast) + (Net Unsubscribed Forecast)) / (Initial Capacity Projection * SPSW Demand Forecast),

where:

Total Fixed Costs is the projected Fixed Cost to be incurred by the JVC in such month in producing the Product;

SPSW Demand Forecast is the total amount of Product (in Xxxxx) to be purchased by Buyer for such month, as set forth in Buyer’s Annual Demand Forecast or Mid-Year Demand Forecast, as applicable;

Net Unsubscribed Forecast is the total amount of Product (in Xxxxx) of any SPSW Unsubscribed Annual Forecast or SPSW Unsubscribed Mid-Year Demand Forecast net

of any amount subscribed to by AUO, as applicable, subscribed for by Buyer with respect to such month; and

●

Initial Capacity Projection is the projected amount of Product (in Xxxxx) to be produced by the JVC for such month, as set forth in the Initial Annual Operating Plan or the Initial Mid-Year Operating Plan, as applicable, for such month.

The Projected per Watt Variable Cost to be allocated to Buyer for any given month shall be determined as follows:

Projected per Watt Variable Cost = Total Variable Costs / Monthly Production Forecast,

where:

Total Variable Costs is the projected Variable Cost to be incurred by the JVC in such month in producing the Product;

Monthly Production Forecast is the projected amount of Product (in Xxxxx) to be produced by the JVC in such month in producing the Product.

Both Variable and Fixed Costs shall include manufacturing and operating expenses of the JVC, but shall exclude interest expenses, and research and development expenses. Before the JVC incurs any amortization of intangible assets and stock based compensation expenses SPSW and AUO will negotiate in good faith on the treatment of such expenses for transfer pricing purposes; provided, however, that any stock based compensation expenses incurred by the JVC resulting from equity awards provided by Affiliates of either SPTL or AUO to employees of the JVC shall be excluded for transfer pricing purposes. Fixed Costs also shall include the following expenses of the JVC: depreciation, facilities, indirect labor, information technology, expensed tooling and ***% of the electricity costs. Annex 1 sets forth an example which illustrates the Fixed and Variable Cost allocation between Buyer and AUO. All costs incurred or to be incurred by the JVC shall be determined in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Premium Percentage

If the JVC reduces the Projected Monthly Cost for the first month of *** by at least ***% compared to the Actual Monthly Cost (as defined below) for the first month of ***, the Premium Percentage for the first month of *** shall equal ***%. During each month thereafter, if the JVC reduces the Projected Monthly Cost for such month by at least ***% compared to the Actual Monthly Cost for the month occurring one year prior to such month, the Premium Percentage shall equal ***% for such month; otherwise, the Premium Percentage shall equal ***% for such month.

During any month in which the projected per Watt Fixed and Variable Costs, in the aggregate, to be incurred by the JVC in producing Product is less than $***/Wp, if the JVC reduces the Projected Monthly Cost for such month by at least ***% compared to the Actual Monthly Cost for the month occurring one year prior to such month, the Premium Percentage for such month shall equal ***%; otherwise, the Premium Percentage shall equal ***% for such month.

True-Up Amount

***	CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL REDACTED AND SEPARATELY FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

- 20 -

At the end of each month, if the actual per Watt Fixed and per Watt Variable Costs, in the aggregate, incurred by the JVC in producing Product (the “Actual Monthly Cost”) exceeds or is less than the per Watt Projected Monthly Cost for such month, the per Watt True-Up Amount shall equal the difference between the per Watt Actual Monthly Cost and the per Watt Projected Monthly Cost for such month. Any per Watt True-Up Amount will be passed along to Buyer and AUO for their respective aggregate Xxxxx of purchased Product during that month.

After installation of the full initial capacity of the Fab 3 as defined in the Business Plan, proposals by the JVC or any Shareholder to spend greater than $*** in capital expenditures that serves to reduce the Fixed and/or Variable Costs to be incurred by the JVC in producing Product shall include a pricing adjustment mechanism as determined and defined by the JVC to incentivize the Shareholders to approve such expenditures. Starting the first month of 2017, AUO and SPTL (or its applicable Affiliate) will negotiate in good faith a potential change in the Premium Percentage to compensate for reductions in depreciation expenses for the initial capital expenditures.

POST-EXIT TRANSACTION TERMS AND CONDITIONS

In the event that SPTL or its Affiliates no longer own any shares of the JVC, the following terms and conditions shall apply:

PRICING.

1.1

Cost Reductions. It is agreed and acknowledged that the pricing shall be calculated as described in Exhibit A to this Agreement and the JVC will work in good faith to achieve cost reductions on all materials and manufacturing process costs. The JVC will provide to Buyer an anticipated twelve (12) month cost reduction plan on a monthly basis. Allocation of costs savings shall be as follows:

(a)

Material Cost Savings. Material cost savings developed by the JVC and accepted by Buyer will be retained by the JVC for the month in which the JVC achieved the cost savings, and thereafter, the JVC shall pass on to Buyer the cost savings through a Product price reduction.

(b)

Value Engineering. If a Value Engineering Change is developed by the JVC and approved by Buyer, the cost savings shall be retained by the JVC for the month in which the JVC implemented the Value Engineering Change, plus five (5) succeeding quarters, and thereafter, the JVC will pass on the cost savings to Buyer through a Product price reduction. If a Value Engineering Change is developed by Buyer, the associated cost savings shall be passed on to Buyer immediately upon implementation. If the Value Engineering Change is jointly developed by Buyer and the JVC, the Parties will negotiate in good faith an equitable allocation of the cost savings which shall, in all cases, pass to Buyer through a Product price reduction no later than the next month following the month in which the Value Engineering Change was implemented. Value Engineering Changes to the Product, where Buyer is the primary design provider, shall be owned by Buyer.

(c)

Sub-tier Components. Upon the effective date of any cost reduction in a sub-tier component, the JVC shall immediately pass on to Buyer one hundred percent (100%) of the cost savings on a forward looking, weighted average basis or as mutually agreed by the Parties.

1.2

Non-approved Charges. Buyer shall not be liable to the JVC for any overtime charges, freight charges or component product price variances incurred by the JVC as the result of factors including, but not limited to, component purges and stop-shipments to the extent attributable to the JVC. Any other extraordinary charges must be submitted by the JVC to Buyer in writing in advance for approval.

2.	LEAD-TIME; DELIVERY.

2.1

Delivery Delay Penalty. Upon acceptance of the Purchase Order by the JVC, all deliveries are to be made according the committed delivery schedule. In the event of late delivery of more than *** days from the committed delivery date, the JVC shall pay as liquidated damages an amount equal to ***% of the value of the Products delayed for every

***	CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL REDACTED AND SEPARATELY FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

- 22 -

two weeks of delay up to a maximum of ***%. The foregoing liquidated damages address late delivery shipments only, are independent of, and in addition to, the JVC’s liability (if any), and Buyer’s corresponding ability to recover damages, for the JVC’s failure to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement and are attributed solely to the JVC. The Parties acknowledge that such payment are intended to represent liquidated damages and not serve as a penalty, and are agreed upon as a reasonable estimation of damages Buyer would incur as a result of delayed deliveries of Products that satisfy the applicable Product Specifications.

2.2

Extraordinary Transportation for Late Deliveries. If the JVC will not, or is not reasonably likely to, deliver Product on the applicable delivery date through no fault of Buyer, after mutual consultation about the proper allocation of the expenses incurred or to be incurred as a result of the extraordinary transportation, the JVC shall use any extraordinary transportation, including air transportation, to deliver Product at the earliest possible date.

2.3

Inspection before Delivery. Buyer may, in its sole discretion, but not more than twice a year, perform a source inspection of the Products at the JVC’s facility. The applicable testing and inspection process shall be set forth in the applicable Product Specification. The source inspection shall be at the JVC’s facility and shall be made within thirty (30) days after the Products are available and ready for inspection, provided that the JVC delivers notice to Buyer that the Product shall be ready for source inspection as soon as practicable and in any event at least thirty (30) days prior to the date when Products are expected to be available and ready for inspection. Should the Product fail the initial inspection in accordance with the mutually agreed inspection standard before delivery, the JVC shall reimburse Buyer for the additional actual costs, including airfare, meals, and lodging, incurred by Buyer arising from any additional inspection. The JVC shall be responsible for its own additional costs incurred. Buyer’s Representatives may witness any test necessary or appropriate to demonstrate the performance of Products. Upon Buyer’s request, the JVC shall provide any relevant equipment performance test data. Buyer’s approval for release shall not constitute a waiver of its right to inspect Products after delivery to the Buyer’s facility.

3.	WARRANTIES.

3.1

The JVC Warranty Term. The JVC represents and warrants that all Products delivered to Buyer hereunder shall comply with the mutually agreed upon warranty terms (the “Product Warranty”) for the warranty period set forth therein. The parties shall discuss and agree in good faith on the warranty terms comparable to the general industry standard.

4.	EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

4.1

Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” by the JVC under this Agreement: (a) if the representations and warranties of the JVC are materially incorrect or inaccurate, and the JVC fails to remedy such misstatements or inaccuracies within thirty (30) days of delivery of notice of such misstatements or inaccuracies by SPSW; (b) if the JVC fails to comply with the terms of this Agreement, and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days of delivery of notice of such failure by SPSW; or (c) if the JVC becomes subject to an assignment for the

benefit of creditors, files a petition for relief under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or similar law or regulation, or is subject of a petition for relief under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or similar law or regulation, filed by its creditors and such petition is not dismissed within thirty (30) days.

4.2

Rights upon Event of Default. Upon an Event of Default by the JVC, SPSW may immediately terminate this Agreement and/or any outstanding Purchase Orders by sending notice of its intent to the JVC. Upon termination of this Agreement, SPSW shall be entitled to receive from the JVC payment for all actual damages incurred, subject to Section 12.3 of this Agreement, and all outstanding amounts owed by the JVC to SPSW shall accelerate and become due and payable; provided, however, that outstanding transactions under accepted Purchase Orders which are not terminated shall survive termination until completed.
