Party A:
Jiangsu Zhongneng Silicon Technology Development Co., Ltd.
Party B:
JA Solar Holdings Co., Ltd.
Party C:
JA Solar Technology YangZhou Co.,Ltd
Whereas,
Party A and Party B entered into a Silicon Wafer Supply Agreement (Contract No.:
SSC000120) as of April 7, 2008 (“Silicon Wafer Supply Agreement”), and Party A
and Party C entered into a Polysilicon Supply Agreement (Contract No.: SSC00230)
as of August 17, 2008 (“Polysilicon Supply Agreement”, together with Silicon
Wafer Supply Agreement, the “Original Agreements”).
Now,
therefore, the parties, without prejudice to the effect of the Original
Agreements, conducted negotiations based on equality and voluntary to amend
provisions regarding, among other things, prices and delivery schedules
stipulated in the Original Agreements as follows:
1.
The parties hereby agree that with respect to the silicon wafers supplied by
Party A under Silicon Wafer Supply Agreement, the calculation method of
translation into polysilicon shall be the following:
Output
power for each monocrystalline silicon wafer (125) shall be ***W/piece;
polysilicon materials consumed for each unit of watt shall be ***g/W, namely
***g for each piece. Upon translation, the total amount under contracts for 2010
until 2015 shall be *** kilogram of polysilicon materials. The details are set
forth in Table A:

The
parties hereby agree that the ratio of purchase amount of silicon materials or
silicon wafers after the second quarter of 2010 shall be determined through
negotiation with Party A in ***. From 2011 to 2015, the ratio of purchase amount
of silicon materials or silicon wafers of Party B and Party C shall be
determined through negotiation with Party A in *** so that Party A may arrange
for the master plan of manufacturing and supply reasonably. In principle, the
ratio of amount of
silicon materials to total amount of procurement of Party B and Party C shall be
***. In consideration of the capacity of Party B and Party C for the period of
2010 to 2015, without affecting the total amount of procurement set forth in
Table A, the insufficient amount of procurement of Party B and Party C for
