Payment of invoices by SolarMax shall be in Dollars, by wire transfer, check or by other means mutually agreed on by the Parties. For each shipment of Modules, arrangements for payment for the remaining 70% of the purchase price is due fifteen (15) days from the date SolarMax receives such shipment. If SolarMax fails to pay the purchase price when due for any shipment, SunSpark 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 SolarMax shall be made upon terms set forth above. SunSpark may recover for each delivery hereunder as a separate transaction, without reference to any other delivery.

(b) SunSpark shall select the carrier and shall negotiate with the carrier the transportation charges. SunSpark shall pay all freight and transportation costs associated with sales of Modules under this Agreement delivered to one of SolarMax’s designated distribution warehouses, pursuant to and consistent with Section 2.05(a).

Section 2.08 Inspection. No later than within twenty (20) Business Days after receipt of each shipment of Modules by SolarMax under Section 2.05 hereof, SolarMax shall inspect such Modules for any defect (including compliance with specifications), breakage, overage or shortage. SolarMax shall be deemed to have unconditionally accepted the entire shipment unless SunSpark receives, within twenty-five (25) Business Days after SolarMax’s receipt of the Modules under Section 2.05 hereof, a written notice specifying the alleged defect, breakage, overage or shortage. If, however, the condition is not discoverable upon inspection of the Modules, then the failure of SolarMax to provide SunSpark with a written notice of claim within ninety (90) days after SolarMax’s receipt of the Modules under Section 2.05 hereof shall be a waiver of any claim relating to the Modules, whether such claim be based in contract, tort, strict liability or otherwise. SunSpark will accept Modules returned by SolarMax and will pay transportation charges for such Modules so long as the return was authorized in advance by SunSpark and SunSpark’s Returned Material Authorization number is prominently marked on each shipping container. SunSpark will not unreasonably withhold authorization for return requests where SolarMax has provided SunSpark with reasonable proof of Modules not complying with specifications, or of shortages or breakages, etc. Where SunSpark has authorized a return of Modules in accordance with the above procedures and SunSpark’s standard returns process, SunSpark shall, at its option: (a) replace the non-conforming or damaged Modules, without any additional expense to SolarMax, within twenty (20) Business Days after receiving SolarMax’s written notice, or (b) reimburse to SolarMax the price paid for the non-conforming, missing or damaged Modules, within twenty (20) Business Days after SunSpark has authorized a return of Modules in accordance with the above procedures and SunSpark’s standard returns process.

Section 2.09 Returns and Refunds. SolarMax may return for return credit, Modules purchased under this Agreement to SunSpark for any or no reasons. SunSpark will provide a return merchandise authorization (RMA) number before shipping any Modules. SunSpark shall be responsible for all shipping and handling charges on returned items, and shall bear the risk of loss during shipment.

Section 2.10 Annual Technology Reviews; Quality Considerations.

(a) Annual Technology Reviews. Both SunSpark and SolarMax agree that, starting no later than the one-year anniversary of the Effective Date, the Parties will conduct, at least annually, a review of the technology evolution for Modules, polysilicon and solar cells. The implementation of any output from such technology reviews as it relates to Modules, Module manufacturing or polysilicon manufacturing shall be made by mutual agreement if possible; provided, however, that if the Parties are unable to reach agreement, any changes to be made to Modules, Module manufacturing or polysilicon manufacturing (or not made) shall be in SunSpark’s sole reasonable discretion. The Parties also agree and acknowledge that continuous improvement efforts to Modules and Module specifications (set forth in Attachment A attached hereto) will be made by SunSpark, and SolarMax will cooperate with SunSpark to accommodate reasonable changes to such specifications. Similarly, SolarMax may also request changes to Module specifications, such as Module dimensions, with appropriate notice. SunSpark will make reasonable efforts to accommodate these requests.

(b) Quality Considerations. The parties acknowledge that there are certain Module quality characteristics that, by their nature, may fall outside of the agreed upon specifications set forth in Attachment A attached hereto, but still may affect product performance at the cell level or module level (i.e., the Modules meet all specifications, but still cause significant deviation in performance or in SolarMax’s production line). For those Module quality characteristics that are part of the agreed upon specifications set forth in Attachment A attached hereto, Section 2.09 addresses these issues. For those Module quality characteristics that are not part of the agreed upon specifications, but such characteristics still appear to cause significant deviation in Module performance or in SolarMax’s production line, the parties will jointly agree to address such non-specification Module quality characteristics on a continuous improvement basis or on a Module replacement basis after joint analysis of Module characteristics can be correlated to any such issues (e.g., the Parties will work together to ensure that the Module breakage rate is within industry norms, assuming that SolarMax’s processes (including handling) fall within industry norms).

Section 2.11 Representations and Warranties.

(a) SunSpark hereby acknowledges its warranty obligations set forth in Attachment B attached hereto, and further represents and warrants that the Modules delivered to SolarMax under this Agreement shall meet the specifications set forth in Attachment A attached hereto, and that SolarMax shall obtain full and unencumbered title to all Modules, free and clear of any and all rights of third parties, when title to the Modules passes to SolarMax pursuant to and consistent with Section 2.06 hereof. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THE PRECEDING SENTENCE, SUNSPARK MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF FITNESS OF THE MODULES FOR PARTICULAR USE OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND/OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

(b) SunSpark represents and warrants that its business has not been, and is not being, conducted in violation of any applicable Law (including, but not limited to, all export and import Laws of all countries involved in the manufacture and sale of the Modules, and all applicable anti-bribery and corrupt practice Laws) and it has not received written notice from any Governmental Authority alleging that it is in violation of any Law or governmental order (including, antidumping duties, countervailing duties or any retaliatory duties imposed by any Governmental Authority on the Modules).

Section 2.12 Limitation of Liability.

(a) Limitation. SunSpark’s total liability, and SolarMax’s exclusive remedy, for any and all Losses and damages, arising out of any cause whatsoever under any theory of contract, tort, strict liability, or other legal or equitable theory, including under a breach of representations and warranties made under Section 2.11 hereof, shall be limited solely to SolarMax’s actual direct damages directly caused by the failure of the Modules to meet the specifications set forth in Attachment A attached hereto; provided, however, that such actual direct damages may not exceed the purchase price of the Modules that caused the damages, or, at SunSpark’s option, the repair or replacement of such Modules. In no event shall SunSpark be liable for lost profits, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages. SunSpark shall not be liable for, and SolarMax assumes liability for, all personal injury and property damage connected with the handling, transportation, possession, processing, further manufacture, other use or resale of the Modules, whether the Modules are used alone or in combination with any other material.

(b) Patents. If any suit is brought against SolarMax for infringement of any patent, now or hereafter existing in the United States or in any country where SunSpark has furnished Modules alleging that the Modules or SunSpark’s methods of manufacturing such Modules infringe any such patent, SunSpark shall, at its own expense, defend and control the suit against these allegations, and shall pay any award of damages assessed against SolarMax in the suit to the extent only that the damages are awarded in connection specifically with the alleged infringement, provided that SolarMax gives SunSpark prompt notice in writing of the institution of the suit and, to the full extent of SolarMax’s power to do so, SunSpark is given information, reasonable assistance, and the sole authority to defend or settle the claim. SunSpark shall have no obligation under this Section 2.12(b) if the alleged infringement or violation is based upon (i) the compliance of SunSpark with SolarMax’s designs, specifications or instructions; or (ii) modifications of the Modules after they have been delivered to SolarMax; or (iii) the use of Modules in conjunction with other products not furnished by SunSpark if the alleged infringement is primarily related to such other products. SunSpark shall have no liability for infringement of patents or violation of any third party proprietary rights except as expressly provided in this Section 2.12(b).

(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.

Section 4.03 Time Limits. Any right to indemnification or other recovery under this Article IV 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 4.02 to the Indemnifying Person.

Section 4.04 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.

(b) If and to the extent that any provision of Section 4.01 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.

(c) Each Indemnifying Party hereby waives (i) presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor and notice of nonpayment; (ii) the right, if any, to the benefit of, or to direct the application of, any security hypothecated to Indemnified Party (if any), until all indemnification liability of another Indemnifying Party to Indemnified Party, howsoever arising, shall have been satisfied; (iii) the right to require the Indemnified Party to proceed against another Indemnifying Party, or to pursue any other remedy in Indemnified Party’s power (if any); and agrees that Indemnified Party may proceed against Indemnifying Party directly and independently of any other Indemnifying Party, and that any extension, forbearance, amendment, or acceptance, release or substitution of security, or any impairment or suspension of Indemnified Party’s remedies or rights against another Indemnifying Party or the cessation of the liability for 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.

In the event it is determined that there is a negative deviation of actual performance from the foregoing Limited Performance Warranty, then SunSpark will, at its option, either (i) repair or replace the Modules, (ii) provide supplemental Modules to meet the minimum power output, or (iii) refund a prorated portion of the purchase price commensurate with the lost power.

Limited Product Warranty

SunSpark warrants that its Modules will be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal application, use, installation, operation and service for a period of ten (10) years from the date of sale to the end user customer (“Customer”) that purchases Modules from an authorized channel partner, installer or original equipment manufacturer. If the Modules do not conform to the foregoing sentence, SunSpark will, at its option, either repair or replace the Modules, or refund a prorated portion of the purchase price paid by the Customer. If replaced or repaired, the replacement or repaired Modules will be covered by this Limited Product Warranty for the remainder of the returned Modules’ Limited Product Warranty period. This Limited Product Warranty does not warrant a specific power output, which is exclusively covered under the Limited Performance Warranty set forth above.

Exceptions

The Limited Performance Warranty and Limited Product Warranty set forth above DO NOT apply to any Module which has been subjected to negligence in transportation, handling, storage or use, or has been repaired, or in any way tampered with, or which has been subjected to extraordinary salt or chemical exposure, or which has been subjected to improper installation, application, alteration, unauthorized service, or which has been subjected to power failure surges, flood, fire, direct or indirect lightning strikes, or other acts of nature.
