SUPPLY OF WAFERS

2.1 Wafer Specifications. The Wafers to be supplied under this Agreement shall meet the specifications as agreed to by the Parties as set forth in Attachment A to this Agreement. MEMC shall maintain, in accordance with MEMC’s standard procedures, accurate records and data for any quality testing done by or for MEMC of any Wafers purchased by Tainergy hereunder and shall make such records and test data available to Tainergy upon reasonable request.

2.2 Quantity and Price.

(a) Target Purchase Quantities and Minimum Purchase Quantities. Each Contract Year, as set forth below in this Section 2.2(a), Tainergy agrees to purchase from MEMC, over the course of the Contract Year, a target quantity of Wafers (such yearly target purchase quantity commitments, measured in megawatts, the “Yearly Target Quantity”), at the prices set forth on Attachment B hereto. Each Contract Year, as set forth below in this Section 2.2(a), MEMC agrees to supply Tainergy, over the course of the Contract Year, with the Yearly Target Quantity per Contract Year, at the prices set forth on Attachment B hereto, which Yearly Target Quantity will not fall below the Yearly Minimum Quantities (as such term is defined in Section 2.2(a)(i) below for Contract Years one through five and in Section 2.2(a)(ii) below for Contract Years six through ten).

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

REDACTED VERSION

(i) For Contract Years one through five, the minimum quantities to be purchased by Tainergy (such quantities, the “Yearly Minimum Quantities”) shall be equal to the greater of (A) [*****]% of the Yearly Target Quantities set forth on Attachment B hereto and (B) approximately [*****]% of Tainergy’s then current solar wafer demand (measured in Xxxxx), provided that MEMC can accommodate [*****]% of Tainergy’s actual then current solar wafer demand (as part of and pursuant to the rolling forecast process set forth in Section 2.2(e) hereof). For Contract Years one through five, MEMC shall be obligated to supply Tainergy quantities only up to [*****]% of the Yearly Target Quantities set forth on Attachment B hereto for such Contract Years, unless MEMC has been given at least three (3) years advance notice of Tainergy’s request for quantities in excess of [*****]% of the Yearly Target Quantities in such years, and MEMC has agreed to supply such increased quantities.

(ii) For Contract Years six through ten, no later than the first day of Contract Year three (September 1, 2010), the Parties agree to commence a review to determine the exact quantities to be purchased and supplied for Contract Years six through ten. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for Contract Years six through ten, the minimum quantities to be purchased by Tainergy (again, for such Contract Years, such quantities, the “Yearly Minimum Quantities”) shall be equal to the greater of (A) [*****]% of the Yearly Target Quantities set forth on Attachment B hereto and (B) approximately [*****]% of Tainergy’s then current solar wafer demand (measured in Xxxxx); provided that MEMC can accommodate [*****]% of Tainergy’s actual then current solar wafer demand (as part of and pursuant to the rolling forecast process set forth in Section 2.2(e) hereof). For Contract Years six through ten, Tainergy shall be obligated to purchase the Yearly Minimum Quantities for such Contract Years with the following exception:

(A) With three (3) years advance notice, Tainergy may reduce its purchase obligation to a quantity for any given Contract Year by up to [*****] percent ([*****]%) from the Yearly Minimum Quantity for that Contract Year;

(B) Once a reduced purchase obligation for a Contract Year has been communicated to MEMC by Tainergy, MEMC shall observe this reduced purchase obligation as the maximum quantity to be delivered by MEMC for that Contract Year, which maximum quantity cannot be exceeded without written consent from both Parties.

(iii) The Yearly Minimum Quantities may also be reduced, for any Contract Year, pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2(f)(i)(A).

(b) Potential Upside Volume. In addition, for the first Contract Year only, MEMC has agreed to consider providing potential upside volume to Tainergy of an additional [*****]MW for delivery starting no earlier than March 31, 2009, at the Contract Year one prices set forth on Attachment B. If Tainergy desires to purchase this

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

REDACTED VERSION

additional [*****]MW, Tainergy may provide notice to MEMC at any time after September 1, 2008 (but no later than December 31, 2008) that Tainergy desires to purchase this additional volume. MEMC will then communicate its ability to supply these potential upside volumes to Tainergy, if commercially possible, no later than ninety (90) days after receipt of Tainergy’s request, for delivery during Contract Year one. Such deliveries, if agreed to by MEMC, would commence ninety (90) days after MEMC communicates its agreement to supply the additional upside volume. These additional upside quantities are not included in the calculations set forth on Attachment B, but will be included should the additional upside quantities be requested by Tainergy and committed by MEMC. In the event that Tainergy requests such additional volume and MEMC indicates to Tainergy that MEMC intends to supply such additional volume in Contract Year one, then Tainergy must increase the Letter of Credit Amount for the first Contract Year pursuant to Section 3.1(c) hereof, and deliver a Letter of Credit for the revised full Letter of Credit Amount to MEMC no later than thirty (30) days after receipt by Tainergy of MEMC’s notice that it intends to supply the additional volume.

(c) Prices. The prices set forth on Attachment B hereto are on a Dollar per Watt basis. Attachment B also includes, for illustration purposes, the prices on a per Wafer basis, which price per Wafer calculations are based on an indicative average efficiency factor of [*****]%. The Parties agree that the actual average efficiency factor for Wafers experienced by Tainergy when using MEMC Wafers shall be used to calculate the price per Wafer. These actual average efficiency factors shall be subject to audit and/or verification as mutually agreed by the Parties. The Parties agree that after an average efficiency factor for Wafers is established, all prices per Wafer calculated using such average efficiency factor for the purposes of invoicing under Section 2.4 hereof shall be based on such average efficiency factor until the average efficiency factor is changed pursuant to the procedures on Attachment B. The Parties also agree and acknowledge that as the average efficiency factor increases, based on actual measurements by the mutually agreed method of producing solar cells based on the Baseline Cell Process (as such term is defined in Attachment B), the price per Wafer will increase (while the price per Watt remains fixed) and the quantity of Wafers supplied will decrease (while quantities of Xxxxx remains fixed). All prices per Wafer set forth on Attachment B hereto (for the purposes of invoicing under Section 2.4 hereof) shall be updated for efficiency changes at least as frequently as is set forth on Attachment B.

(d) Purchase Shortfalls. If Tainergy purchases fewer Xxxxx than the lesser of (i) the Yearly Minimum Quantity, as calculated in accordance with Section 2.2(a) or (ii) the amount of Xxxxx tendered for delivery by MEMC during any Contract Year, Tainergy shall pay to MEMC via wire transfer of immediately available funds, within ten (10) days after being invoiced therefor, the difference between (A) the amount that would have been payable by Tainergy during such Contract Year if Tainergy had purchased the lesser of (i) the Yearly Minimum Quantity as calculated in accordance with Section 2.2(a) or (ii) the amount of Xxxxx tendered for delivery by MEMC during the entire Contract Year, and (B) the amount payable by Tainergy during such Contract Year for the actual volume of Xxxxx purchased by Tainergy from MEMC based on the applicable price listed on Attachment B hereto (such calculated amount, the “Purchase Shortfall”). The Purchase Shortfall shall accrue interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month from the date of the invoice therefor, unless prohibited by Law.

REDACTED VERSION

(e) Monthly Planning; Rolling Forecast. For planning purposes only, no later than the third (3^rd) Business Day of each calendar month, Tainergy shall deliver to MEMC a forecast of the quantities of Wafers that Tainergy anticipates that it will order from MEMC over the subsequent rolling twelve (12) months. Such rolling forecasts are for capacity planning purposes only, and such estimated amounts in the rolling forecasts shall have no effect on Tainergy’s obligation to purchase some or all of Tainergy’s Yearly Minimum Quantity for any Contract Year or MEMC’s obligation to deliver the indicated quantities, unless such quantity is confirmed pursuant to the procedures of Section 2.3.

(f) Missed Deliveries. If, in any Contract Year, MEMC fails to deliver [*****] percent ([*****]%) or more of the Yearly Minimum Quantities of Wafers MEMC would be required to deliver pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.2(a) (a “Missed Delivery”), and such Missed Deliveries continue uncured by the end of such Contract Year, then the following provisions shall apply:

(i) MEMC shall have the right to try to “make up” Missed Deliveries for any Contract Year (the “Missed Delivery Year”) through the end of the following subsequent Contract Year that immediately follows the Missed Delivery Year (the “Make up Year”). The Wafer price for such Missed Deliveries, if actually made in the Make up Year, shall be the Wafer price at the time of shipment of the Wafers. If MEMC fails to make up the Missed Deliveries prior to the end of the Make up Year, then:

(A) Tainergy shall have the right, but not the obligation, which right must be exercised by Tainergy, in writing (and if not so exercised, shall be automatically waived for such Contract Year, and only such Contract Year), no later than the last Business Day of the Make up Year, to reduce the Yearly Minimum Quantity for the next following Contract Year as follows. The Yearly Minimum Quantity for such next following Contract Year shall be reduced by an amount equal to one-half (1/2) the amount of the Missed Deliveries of the Missed Delivery Year that were not made up for in the Make up Year (taking into account the actual deliveries made by MEMC in the Make up Year intended as make up deliveries for the relevant Missed Delivery Year); and

(B) If Tainergy chooses to reduce its Yearly Minimum Quantity for such next following Contract Year pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.2(f)(i)(A), then a corresponding reduction in the Letter of Credit Amount shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.1(c).

2.3 Purchase Orders and Order Acknowledgements. Tainergy will issue a written purchase order to MEMC through email, fax or internationally recognized carrier on at least a monthly basis. Such purchase orders shall contain the requested delivery dates. All such

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

REDACTED VERSION

purchase orders shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. MEMC shall, within five (5) Business Days after it receives any such purchase order, respond to such Tainergy purchase orders with a written MEMC Order Acknowledgement, which MEMC Order Acknowledgement will set forth those requested Tainergy quantities for which MEMC can then confirm a quantity (which quantity may be a partial quantity of the Tainergy purchase order) and an estimated shipment calendar week. MEMC Order Acknowledgements shall reference the applicable Tainergy purchase order. Until such time as MEMC has provided Tainergy with an MEMC Order Acknowledgement for all Wafers requested on a Tainergy purchase order, such purchase order shall not be deemed accepted by MEMC for the full amount of Wafers, but shall only be deemed accepted by MEMC for that amount of Wafers for which a confirmed quantity and shipment week has been provided. At all times during the term of this Agreement, unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties, Tainergy shall have provided MEMC with binding purchase orders requesting shipments of Wafers over at least the next ninety (90) days. Unless expressly agreed in writing by MEMC and Tainergy, no additional or different terms or conditions contained in any quotation, sales order, acknowledgement form, purchase order or other communication from MEMC or Tainergy shall be binding upon MEMC or Tainergy, and each Party hereby objects to any such additional or different terms or conditions. To the extent there is any conflict among the terms and conditions of this Agreement, any Tainergy purchase order and any MEMC Order Acknowledgement, the terms of this Agreement shall apply.

2.4 MEMC Invoices. MEMC invoices shall reference the applicable Tainergy purchase order and shall be submitted for payment by MEMC to the Tainergy accounts payable address specified in writing from time to time by Tainergy. To the extent there is any conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and of any such invoice, the terms of this Agreement shall apply. All prices in the invoices shall be based on the then-current price for each Wafer, calculated in accordance with the provisions set forth on Attachment B, on the date of confirm.

2.5 Terms of Sale and Shipment Terms.

(a) Terms of Sale. All sales of Wafers hereunder shall be made Ex Works (Incoterms 2000: EXW) MEMC’s designated location. “Incoterms 2000” means the version of “Incoterms” adopted by the International Chamber of Commerce effective January 1, 2000, including all amendments thereof, but excluding any amendments thereof specifically agreed to by the Parties as not being applicable to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing Ex Works terms of sale, if MEMC manufactures Wafers at a facility located in either Europe or the United States (“Non-Asia Pacific Wafers”) and then ships such Non-Asia Pacific Wafers to Tainergy, MEMC shall pay, within thirty (30) days of being invoiced by Tainergy therefor, fifty percent (50%) of all freight costs associated with such sales of Non-Asia Pacific Wafers under this Agreement, with such invoices to provide reasonable detail and supporting documentation for MEMC to confirm such freight costs.

(b) Shipment Date. Per Section 2.3 above, the scheduled shipment date for Wafers will be specified by MEMC in the MEMC Order Acknowledgment.

(c) Shipment Instructions. Tainergy shall furnish written shipping instructions to MEMC from time to time, and such shipping instructions, if different from the last shipping instructions provided by Tainergy to MEMC, shall take effect no earlier than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such written instructions by MEMC. MEMC shall pack and ship Wafers in accordance with then-current industry standards and practice.

(d) Shipment Date Change Requests. Tainergy may request to delay or pull in shipment of an individual delivery or any part thereof upon written notice to MEMC, subject to the following conditions:

(i) Unless agreed to by MEMC, the shipment date change request notice must be received by MEMC at least ninety (90) days prior to the scheduled shipment date; and

(ii) If the shipment date change request notice is a delay request (a push out of requested delivery date), Tainergy must commit to nonetheless purchase the delayed Wafers no later than the end of the Contract Year in which such shipment was originally scheduled by MEMC; and

(iii) MEMC must agree to such request in writing; and

(iv) In the event of an accepted shipment date change request, Tainergy shall accept delivery of and pay for Wafers already manufactured or in the process of manufacture for such accepted purchase order at the time the shipment date change request notice is received by MEMC.

(e) In no event shall delay of any shipment or any part thereof as requested by Tainergy pursuant to Section 2.5(d) affect, in any way, Tainergy’s obligation to purchase some or all of Tainergy’s Yearly Minimum Quantity for any Contract Year, unless the provisions of Section 2.2(a) hereof would otherwise require a change to Tainergy’s Yearly Minimum Quantities for that Contract Year or a subsequent Contract Year.

2.6 Title and Risk of Loss. Pursuant to and consistent with the Incoterms 2000 term of sale of Ex Works MEMC’s designated location, title to and risk of loss of Wafers shall pass to Tainergy at the time when the Wafers have been made available by MEMC for pickup by Tainergy at MEMC’s designated location and Tainergy has been notified that such Wafers have been made available by MEMC for pickup by Tainergy.

2.7 Payment Terms; Delivery Terms; Freight Terms.

(a) MEMC shall issue an invoice to Tainergy for each shipment of Wafers. All invoices will be in Dollars. Payment of invoices by Tainergy shall be in Dollars, by wire transfer, check or by other means mutually agreed on by the Parties. Payment is due thirty (30) days from the date of the invoice. MEMC reserves the right to assess a late payment charge of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month on the unpaid balance of any past due amount, unless prohibited by Law. If Tainergy fails to pay the purchase price when due for any shipment, MEMC may, but need not, require receipt of payment in full prior to manufacturing the balance of any outstanding or subsequent order. Payment of sums due from Tainergy shall be made upon terms set forth above. MEMC may recover for each delivery hereunder as a separate transaction, without reference to any other delivery. If Tainergy has been failing to pay the purchase price when due for one or more shipments, and MEMC reasonably concludes that Tainergy is in unsound financial condition and has notified Tainergy of such conclusion, and the Parties have then negotiated in good faith for at least ten (10) Business Days to remedy such conclusion, or if Tainergy is in default with respect to any of the material terms and conditions of this or any other agreement with MEMC, MEMC shall forthwith have the right to demand cash payment in advance or additional financial assurance until such time as said credit has been reestablished or default cured to MEMC’s satisfaction. If Tainergy fails to pay the purchase price when due for any shipment, MEMC may also, but need not, (i) immediately offset any late payments against the Refundable Capacity Reservation Deposit and/or the Letter of Credit required by Section 3.1(c) and (ii) prior to any further shipments of Wafers, require that Tainergy replenish the Refundable Capacity Reservation Deposit and/or the Letter of Credit required by Section 3.1(c) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) All prices are based on Ex Works MEMC’s designated location. Tainergy shall pay all transportation charges on a freight collect basis. Any Taxes, levies or assessments (including related interest and penalties) imposed, levied, assessed or arising by virtue of this Agreement other than Taxes based upon the net income of MEMC shall be the liability and responsibility of Tainergy.

(i) the right and remedy to have the Restrictive Tainergy Covenants specifically enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction, it being agreed that any breach or threatened breach of the Restrictive Tainergy Covenants would cause irreparable injury to MEMC and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy to MEMC; and

2.12 Noncompete in Favor of Tainergy.

(a) MEMC understands that Tainergy shall be entitled to protect and preserve the going concern value of its business to the extent permitted by Law and that Tainergy would not have entered into this Agreement absent the provisions of this Section 2.12. Therefore, during the Initial Term (and any extensions of the Initial Term pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof), except as may be agreed to in writing by Tainergy in advance of engaging in any activities, MEMC shall not, and each shall cause each of its affiliates and Subsidiaries to not, directly or indirectly, engage in any Restricted MEMC Business anywhere in the world including (A) owning any interest in, managing, operating, controlling or participating in any Person which owns or operates a Restricted MEMC Business, (B) soliciting any customer or prospective customer of Tainergy anywhere in the world to purchase any products or services which compete with those provided by Tainergy and (C) assisting any Person in any way to do, or attempt to do, anything prohibited above; provided, however, that the ownership by MEMC of up to a [*****] percent ([*****]%) interest in any Person in a Restricted MEMC Business shall be permitted.

(b) If, at the time of enforcement of the covenants contained in this Section 2.12 (the “Restrictive MEMC Covenants”), a court shall hold that the duration, scope or area restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the Parties agree that the maximum duration, scope or area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated duration, scope or area and that the court shall be allowed and directed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period, scope and area permitted by Law. Upon advice of legal counsel, MEMC has determined and hereby acknowledges that the Restrictive MEMC Covenants are reasonable in terms of duration, scope and area restrictions. MEMC acknowledges that both Tainergy and MEMC have been doing business throughout the world.

(c) If MEMC or any of its affiliates or Subsidiaries breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of, any of the Restrictive MEMC Covenants, Tainergy shall have the following rights and remedies, each of which rights and remedies shall be independent of the others and severally enforceable, and each of which is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to Tainergy at law or in equity:

2.13 Preferred Vendor. The quantities of Wafers to be supplied by MEMC hereunder assume that in any Contract Year such amount of Wafers will be approximately [*****]% of Tainergy’s then current solar wafer demand, and the Yearly Target Quantities of Wafers set forth in Attachment B, as modified by Section 2.2(a), reflect this mutual intention of the parties. In addition, MEMC shall be considered as a preferred vendor and shall have an annual right of first refusal (but not an obligation, unless MEMC would be so obligated pursuant to Section 2.2(a) hereof) to negotiate with Tainergy to supply Tainergy with additional Wafers, in excess of [*****] percent ([*****]%) of Tainergy’s then current demand for Wafers (such potential amount, the “Additional Wafer Supply”). The price per watt for such Additional Wafer Supply shall be negotiated by the parties. If the parties are unable to reach agreement on price and quantity for such Additional Wafer Supply by July 1 for the ensuing Contract Year commencing on September 1, Tainergy may buy such Additional Wafer Supply from other suppliers. Such Additional Wafer Supply, if supplied by MEMC, shall not be added to the Yearly Minimum Quantity for the then current Contract Year or any Contract Year thereafter unless the parties expressly agree.

ARTICLE III

REFUNDABLE CAPACITY RESERVATION DEPOSIT AND LETTER OF CREDIT;

EXECUTION OF ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

3.1 Refundable Capacity Reservation Deposit. To induce MEMC to invest in additional polysilicon production and wafer manufacturing capacity, Tainergy agrees to loan MEMC, per the schedule set forth on Attachment C hereto, the amount of $259.0 million (the “Refundable Capacity Reservation Deposit”), as a means of securing Tainergy’s obligations to MEMC, which Refundable Capacity Reservation Deposit shall be repaid by MEMC, without interest, up to the amount of $246.1 million (95% of the aggregate Refundable Capacity Reservation Deposit amount, such retained amount of $12.9 million, the “Retained Refundable Capacity Reservation Deposit Amount”), according to the repayment schedule set forth on Attachment C hereto, unless Tainergy has not purchased the Yearly Minimum Quantities in any Contract Year under the “take or pay” provisions of Section 2.2(a) hereof, in which case MEMC may choose to offset pursuant to this Article III any payments required from Tainergy under Section 2.2(a) hereof against MEMC’s obligation to repay the Refundable Capacity Reservation Deposit.

(a) In any Contract Year when Tainergy is required to pay MEMC a portion of the Refundable Capacity Reservation Deposit per the schedule set forth on Attachment C, payment by Tainergy to MEMC shall be made, in full, no later than the fifth Business Day of the applicable Contract Year; provided, however, that Tainergy shall be entitled to request MEMC to calculate the difference between the amount of the Refundable Capacity Reservation Deposit repayable by MEMC pursuant to Section 3.1(b) and the amount of the Refundable Capacity Reservation Deposit payable by Tainergy in any Contract Year, and Tainergy shall pay such difference to MEMC no later than the fifth Business Day of the applicable Contract Year. In connection with the Refundable Capacity Reservation Deposit amount to be paid by Tainergy to MEMC for the first Contract Year, twenty five percent (25%) of the Refundable Capacity Reservation Deposit amount to be paid by Tainergy to MEMC for that first Contract Year shall be paid to MEMC five (5) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, thirty eight and one half percent (38.5%) of the Refundable Capacity Reservation Deposit amount to be paid by Tainergy to MEMC for that first Contract Year shall be paid to MEMC no less than ten (10) Business Days before the first shipment date for Wafers and thirty six and one half percent (36.5%) of the Refundable Capacity Reservation Deposit amount to be paid by Tainergy to MEMC for that first Contract Year shall be paid to MEMC no later than the first Business Day of 2009.

(b) In any Contract Year when MEMC is required to repay a portion of the Refundable Capacity Reservation Deposit to Tainergy per the schedule set forth on Attachment C, payment by MEMC to Tainergy shall be made, in full, no later than the fifth Business Day of the applicable Contract Year; provided, however, that if in any Contract Year there is a Purchase Shortfall that has not been paid by Tainergy via wire transfer to MEMC in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2(d) hereof, MEMC shall not be required to repay that portion of the Refundable Capacity Reservation

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

REDACTED VERSION

Deposit up to the Purchase Shortfall in the next Contract Year, but instead MEMC may retain the amount of the Refundable Capacity Reservation Deposit up to the Purchase Shortfall (including the amount of any interest accrued on the Purchase Shortfall in accordance with Section 2.2(d) hereof, until the date that MEMC actually transfers or retains such amount); and provided further, that if in any Contract Year there is a Purchase Shortfall (or an aggregate Purchase Shortfall from more than one Contract Year) that has not been paid by Tainergy to MEMC in excess of the amount of any Refundable Capacity Reservation Deposit not yet repaid by MEMC, MEMC may withhold repayment in any future Contract Years of the Refundable Capacity Reservation Deposit up to the amount of the aggregate unpaid Purchase Shortfall. If the aggregate unpaid Purchase Shortfall(s) exceed the remaining Refundable Capacity Reservation Deposit not yet repaid by MEMC, MEMC shall have any and all remedies available to it to recover from Tainergy immediately the amount of any aggregate unpaid Purchase Shortfall, including drawing on the Letter of Credit pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.1(c).

(c) The Parties have also agreed that the amount of the Refundable Capacity Reservation Deposit outstanding in any Contract Year is less than the appropriate amount of security to be held by MEMC in order to ensure payment for Tainergy’s “take or pay” obligations under Section 2.2(a) hereof. Accordingly, the Parties have agreed that Tainergy will be required to deliver to MEMC, no later than the seventh Business Day of each Contract Year, an irrevocable Letter of Credit drawn on a bank that is requested by Tainergy and approved by MEMC (the “LC Bank”), in an amount equal to the Required Letter of Credit Amount for such Contract Year as is set forth on Attachment C (the “Letter of Credit Amount”), and that expires on the eighth Business Day of the subsequent Contract Year. Tainergy may, in its discretion, use quarterly or half-year revolving Letters of Credit to cover the full Letter of Credit Amount during any respective Contract Year; provided, however, that in no event shall there ever be a gap in coverage (i.e., a Letter of Credit will not be permitted to expire before a replacement Letter of Credit is put in place). MEMC’s right to unilaterally draw on the Letter of Credit (after exhaustion of the Refundable Capacity Reservation Deposit amount then held by MEMC) shall be substantially similar to those rights set forth in Section 3.1(b) above. The Letter of Credit Amount set forth on Attachment C for each Contract Year was calculated as follows:

(i) In Contract Year one, the Letter of Credit Amount shall be equal to twelve (12) months of MEMC’s revenue under this Agreement, based on the minimum quantity of Wafers for that Contract Year at the pricing for that Contract Year, less the cumulative net amount of the Refundable Capacity Reservation Deposit then held by MEMC;

(ii) In Contract Year two, the Letter of Credit Amount shall be equal to ten (10) months of MEMC’s revenue under this Agreement, based on the minimum quantity of Wafers for that Contract Year at the pricing for that Contract Year, less the cumulative net amount of the Refundable Capacity Reservation Deposit then held by MEMC;

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

REDACTED VERSION

(iii) In Contract Year three and Contract Year four, the Letter of Credit Amount shall be equal to seven (7) months of MEMC’s revenue under this Agreement, based on the minimum quantity of Wafers for that Contract Year at the pricing for that Contract Year, less the cumulative net amount of the Refundable Capacity Reservation Deposit then held by MEMC;

(iv) In Contract Year five through Contract Year ten, the Letter of Credit Amount shall be equal to six (6) months of MEMC’s revenue under this Agreement, based on the minimum quantity of Wafers for that Contract Year at the pricing for that Contract Year, less the cumulative net amount of the Refundable Capacity Reservation Deposit then held by MEMC; and

(v) In any Contract Year for which the Yearly Minimum Quantity is adjusted upward or downward pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.2(a) or Section 2.2(f)(i)(A), the Letter of Credit Amount will also be adjusted upward or downward consistent with the provisions of this Section 3.1(c).

(d) The Parties have also agreed that the amount of the Refundable Capacity Reservation Deposit outstanding in any Contract Year to be held by MEMC in order to ensure payment for Tainergy’s “take or pay” obligations under Section 2.2(a) hereof may be adjusted pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.1(d) as follows:

(i) Beginning in Contract Year two, every October 1 and April 1 Tainergy will provide MEMC with complete financial statements for the six months and twelve months ended June 30 and December 31, respectively (such financial statements, the “Financial Statements”). From the Financial Statements, MEMC will verify whether Tainergy meets the Guaranteed Financial Performance Criteria.

(ii) If the Guaranteed Financial Performance Criteria for the prior twelve (12) month period are met, then the Letter of Credit Amount shall not be adjusted pursuant to this Section 3.1(d).

(iii) If, however, the Guaranteed Financial Performance Criteria for the prior twelve (12) month period are not met, then the Letter of Credit Amount shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 3.1(d), by Tainergy being required to increase the amount of security for MEMC by increasing the Letter of Credit Amount by an additional six (6) months of months of MEMC’s revenue under this Agreement, based on the minimum quantity of Wafers for that Contract Year at the pricing for that Contract Year, less the cumulative net amount of the Refundable Capacity Reservation Deposit then held by MEMC (e.g., in Contract Year two, the total amount of required revenue months to be held as security would be sixteen (16), in Contract Years three and four, the total amount of required revenue months would be thirteen (13), and so on).

(iv) In the event that Tainergy will be required to increase the Letter of Credit Amount pursuant to Section 3.1(d)(iii), then Tainergy shall deliver to

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

REDACTED VERSION

MEMC a Letter of Credit for the increased amount no later than ten (10) Business Days after MEMC has performed the calculation required by Section 3.1(d)(i) above and has requested an increase in the Letter of Credit Amount from Tainergy in writing. All other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall apply to any Letter of Credit required by this Section 3.1(d).

(v) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.1(d), if the quantity of Wafers tendered for delivery by MEMC during the just-ended Contract Year is less than the Yearly Minimum Quantities for such just-ended Contract Year, then each of the financial performance measures that make up the Guaranteed Financial Performance Criteria shall be reduced by the same percentage as the amount that the quantity of Wafers tendered for delivery by MEMC during the just-ended Contract Year is less than the Yearly Minimum Quantities for such just-ended Contract Year (e.g., if MEMC has tendered for delivery only 95% of the Yearly Minimum Quantity for a Contract Year, then the threshold amount of each of the financial performance measures that make up the Guaranteed Financial Performance Criteria shall be reduced to only 95% of such amounts).

3.2 Execution of Share Subscription Agreement. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Tainergy and MEMC shall execute the Share Subscription Agreement, pursuant to which MEMC shall purchase 6,999,999 shares of Tainergy stock at NT$25 per share. The Share Subscription Agreement shall provide that MEMC shall pay for the shares of Tainergy stock by no later than December 31, 2008, and in no event prior to receiving payment from Tainergy, in full, for the Refundable Capacity Reservation Deposit required in Contract Year one.

ARTICLE IV

TERM AND TERMINATION

4.1 Term. The Term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall expire ten (10) years following the Effective Date (the “Initial Term”). No less than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the Initial Term, the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith to extend the Initial Term of the Agreement, with such negotiations intended to address price, quantity (including minimum quantities) and length of any extension term. In no event shall this Agreement be extended beyond the Initial Term unless the Parties expressly agree on all material terms of such extension.

4.2 Termination by Either Party. Either Party to this Agreement may terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other Party if, and only if, such other Party (a) becomes insolvent, (b) makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, (c) suffers or permits the appointment of a receiver for its business or assets, (d) becomes subject as the debtor to any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency Law, whether domestic or foreign, and such proceeding is not dismissed with prejudice within sixty (60) days after filing, or (e) commences liquidation or dissolution proceedings, voluntarily or otherwise.

REDACTED VERSION

4.3 Termination by MEMC.

(a) In the event that Tainergy has failed to pay a Purchase Shortfall to MEMC within five (5) Business Days of being notified thereof, and the amount of the unpaid Purchase Shortfall is greater than the amount of the Refundable Capacity Reservation Deposit and Letter of Credit then held by MEMC, then MEMC shall have the right, upon at least ten (10) Business Days prior written notice to Tainergy in accordance with the notice provisions of Section 7.4, to immediately terminate this Agreement if:

(i) Tainergy has not paid to MEMC, in immediately available funds, the amount of the unpaid Purchase Shortfall (after MEMC shall have retained the Refundable Capacity Reservation Deposit and drawn on the Letter of Credit) no later than the ninth (9^th) Business Day after receiving such written notice; and

(ii) Tainergy has not replenished the Refundable Capacity Reservation Deposit to be held by MEMC (after MEMC has retained the Refundable Capacity Reservation Deposit) by wiring MEMC, in immediately available funds, the amount of the Refundable Capacity Reservation Deposit as would be required for such Contract Year by Attachment B (taking into account the provisions of Section 2.2(a), Section 2.2(f), Section 3.1(c) and Section 3.1(d) hereof) and replaced the Letter of Credit with a new Letter of Credit in the amount of the Letter of Credit Amount required for such Contract Year by Attachment B (taking into account the provisions of Section 2.2(a), Section 2.2(f), Section 3.1(c) and Section 3.1(d) hereof) no later than the ninth (9^th) Business Day after receiving such written notice.

4.4 Termination by Tainergy.

(a) In the event that MEMC has failed to deliver the Yearly Minimum Quantities as would be required to be delivered pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.2(a) hereof (taking into account the provisions, including the recovery provisions, of Section 2.2(f)(i) hereof) for three (3) consecutive Contract Years, then, no later than thirty (30) days after the end of such third consecutive Contract Year, Tainergy may provide written notice to MEMC that Tainergy intends to immediately terminate this Agreement. Such termination will take effect five (5) Business Days thereafter if the breach is not cured by MEMC within such five (5) Business Day period; provided, however, that Tainergy shall be required to accept delivery of and pay for Wafers already manufactured or in the process of manufacture for any accepted purchase orders at the time the termination notice pursuant to this Section 4.4(a) is received by MEMC in accordance with the notice provisions of Section 7.4.

(b) If Tainergy would have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.4(a), but Tainergy does not provide written notice of such intent to terminate to MEMC within the prescribed time frames of Section 4.4(a), then Tainergy may not

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

REDACTED VERSION

terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.4(a) for that entire Contract Year, and will be deemed to have waived such right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.4(a) for that three (3) Contract Year period of missed deliveries. In such event, Tainergy can still “count” the two most recent Contract Years of missed deliveries of Wafers (as would be required to be delivered by MEMC pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.2(a) hereof (taking into account the recovery provisions of Section 2.2(f)(i) hereof)) for the purposes of determining whether, at the end of the subsequent Contract Year, a new right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.4(a) has been triggered. In such case, the provisions of both Section 4.4(a) and this Section 4.4(b) shall again apply.

4.5 Effect of Termination. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, the Parties’ obligations hereunder shall terminate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of Section 2.2, Section 2.9, Article V and Article VI are of a continuing nature and shall survive termination of this Agreement for any reason. No such termination shall relieve any Party from liability for any prior or subsequent breach of this Agreement. If the termination was validly made by Tainergy pursuant to Section 4.2 or Section 4.4(a), MEMC shall return the balance of Refundable Capacity Reservation Deposit to Tainergy within sixty (60) days of the termination.

ARTICLE V

INDEMNIFICATION

5.1 Indemnification Generally. Tainergy shall indemnify and defend MEMC and its directors, officers, employees, contractors and agents, from any liability (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) for any Loss or injury to persons or property which may result from Tainergy's breach of its representations, warranties or covenants in this Agreement.

5.2 Resolution of Disputes; Litigation.

(a) Prior to initiating any legal or other action or proceeding against the other, the Parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve any controversy or claim arising from or relating to this Agreement promptly by negotiations between the respective representatives of the Parties.

Within twenty (20) days after receipt of such notice, the receiving Party shall submit a written response to the other Party. The notice and response shall include a statement of the respective Party’s position and arguments supporting its position. The representatives shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and place within thirty (30) days after the date of the disputing Party’s notice and thereafter as often as they reasonably deem necessary to exchange relevant information and to attempt to resolve the dispute. If the matter has not been resolved through negotiation within sixty (60) days after the date of the disputing Party’s notice, or if either Party will not meet with the other Party within thirty (30) days after the date of the disputing Party’s notice, then either Party is free to bring any legal action or proceeding, so long as such legal action or proceeding complies with the provisions of Section 7.12 hereof. All deadlines specified herein may be extended by mutual written agreement of the Parties.

(b) If no agreement can be reached between the Parties after good faith negotiation above, either Tainergy or MEMC may bring any legal action or proceeding, so long as such legal action or proceeding complies with the provisions of Section 7.12 hereof, unless the amount of the damage or loss is at issue in a pending action or proceeding involving a third party claim, in which event such action or proceeding shall not be commenced until such amount is ascertained or both Parties agree to the action or proceeding.

(c) In the event that any suit or action is instituted to enforce any provision in this Agreement, the prevailing Party in such dispute shall be entitled to recover from the losing Party all fees, costs and expenses of enforcing any right of such prevailing Party under or with respect to this Agreement, including without limitation, such reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys and accountants, which shall include, without limitation, all fees, costs and expenses of appeals.

5.3 Time Limits. Any right to indemnification or other recovery under this Article V shall only apply to Losses arising from claims with respect to which the Indemnified Person shall have notified the Indemnifying Person in writing within one (1) year of the occurrence of the facts giving rise to the underlying claim; provided, however, that such obligations to indemnify and hold harmless shall not terminate with respect to any Losses arising from claims as to which the Indemnified Person shall have, before the expiration of the one (1) year period, previously delivered a notice pursuant to Section 5.2 to the Indemnifying Person.

5.4 General Indemnification Provisions.

(a) The Indemnifying Party shall pay the Indemnified Party immediately available funds on an as-incurred basis for any Losses for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder. Any such indemnification payments shall include interest at the rate of 5% per annum (computed on the basis of a 360-day year) from the date any such Losses are suffered or sustained by the Indemnified Party.

(b) If and to the extent that any provision of Section 5.1 is unenforceable for any reason, each Party hereto agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of any Losses as to which such Party would otherwise have been responsible for indemnification which is permissible under applicable Law.

indemnification hereunder of another Indemnifying Party for any reason other than full satisfaction of the indemnification obligation at issue, shall not in anywise affect the liability of Indemnifying Party hereunder.
