In lieu of the credit to the invoiced price to be paid by GEWD, HOKU may make a cash payment to GEWD in the amount of the purchase price reduction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the maximum amount of such purchase price reduction or optional cash payment shall not exceed [*] of the value of the respective delayed Products. Monthly shipments which are delayed beyond [*] days shall be deemed to constitute a material breach of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.2.1 below.

3.5 Option to GEWD. If, during the Term of this Agreement, HOKU (A) increases its production capacity of Products beyond the currently planned 3,000 metric tons per year, or (B) enters into bona fide negotiations for long-term contracts beyond the seventh year after the Commencement Date (other than contracts and obligations entered into prior to the Effective Date), then HOKU shall provide a right of first offer to GEWD whereby GEWD may elect to (x) increase the volume of Products purchased from HOKU beyond the Minimum Annual Quantity of Product in the case of (A) above, or (y) negotiate for an extension of the term of this Agreement beyond the end of the seventh year after the Commencement Date, in the case of (B) above. Such rights shall be limited to GEWD’s pro rata share of total Products being sold by HOKU to third parties that are not affiliates of HOKU. For purposes of this Section 3.5, the “pro rata share” shall be equal to the Minimum Annual Quantity of Product then in effect under this Agreement divided by the total of all Products being sold by HOKU to third parties (including GEWD) that are not affiliates of HOKU pursuant to long-term contracts (i.e., contracts with a delivery term that is greater than or equal to five years). To further clarify, GEWD’s rights of first offer shall not apply to any Products that will be sold to HOKU affiliates for their own consumption. Stated differently, GEWD’s right of first offer shall apply to any Products which HOKU sells or otherwise assigns to an affiliate for the purpose of sale or re-sale into the market. GEWD’s rights of first offer shall forever expire if not exercised in writing within thirty (30) days after receipt of bona fide written notice from HOKU of such planned increase in capacity (in the case of (A) above), or planned negotiation of long-term contracts beyond the seventh year after the Commencement Date (in the case of (B) above), and HOKU may thereafter offer and sell such Products to third parties on the same or different terms originally offered to GEWD. It is further understood that GEWD’s exercise of these rights of first offer may require a pre-payment to HOKU for a percentage of the new Products to be sold to GEWD, ad that pricing and other material terms of any new agreement may be materially different from the terms of this Agreement.

The [*] Certification may be signed by HOKU and GEWD in multiple counterparts.

5.4 A further condition to HOKU’s drawn down of the first and second installment of the Main Deposit shall be the granting of the security interest in HOKU’s polysilicon assess pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement.

5.5 The GEWD Letters of Credit must be drawn on a bank located in the United States, which may include a branch office of a foreign bank that is located in the United States, which bank has a minimum long term credit rating by Standards and Poor’s or Moody’s, whichever is lower, of A- with stable outlook (Standard & Poor’s) or A3 (Moody’s), or such other bank as HOKU may approve in its sole discretion.

The fees and expenses of such independent engineer shall be shared by HOKU and GEWD if the independent engineer was hired to resolve a reasonable disagreement between HOKU and GEWD regarding the success or failure of the applicable test; and such fees and expenses shall be paid solely by GEWD if the independent engineer was hired because GEWD or its independent expert either did not attend the applicable demonstration (after notice having been provided pursuant to Section 5.2.2 or 5.2.4, as applicable), or did not confirm to HOKU in writing either the success or failure of the applicable test.

5.7 If GEWD is unable to provide HOKU the Secondary Letter of Credit on or before September 30, 2007, then HOKU shall have the option, by providing written notice to GEWD on or before December 31, 2007, to reduce the Minimum Annual Quantity of Product as defined in Section 1.9 and the total Order volume as set forth in Section 1.10 to [*] metric tons ([*] kilograms) per year and [*] metric tons over the Term of this Agreement, respectively.

7.1 Subject to receipt of the Initial Deposit and or payment of any portion of the Main Deposit, pursuant a separate security agreement and related collateral documents, HOKU hereby grants to GEWD a security interest to secure the repayment by HOKU to GEWD of the Total Deposit following any of the events set forth in Sections 11.2.1 through 11.2.3 11.4 and 11.5 below, which shall be subordinated in accordance with Section 7.3 below, in all of the tangible and intangible assets related to HOKU’s polysilicon business (the “Collateral”). In connection with the foregoing, (a) HOKU shall enter into customary collateral documentation reasonably requested by GEWD in order to provide GEWD with perfected security interests and liens on the Collateral, including, without limitation, deeds of trust with respect to the real property and fixtures comprising HOKU’s polysilicon facilities and a security agreement with respect to the Collateral consisting of personal property, (b) HOKU shall cause to be delivered such other items in connection with the Collateral and such documentation as reasonably requested by GEWD, including, without limitation, Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, other items necessary to perfect GEWD’s security interest and liens, opinions of counsel as to matters reasonably requested by GEWD, including the enforceability of the Collateral documents and the creation and perfection of the security interests and liens created thereby, and title insurance policies with respect


GEWD Initials & Date /s/ PDA 2007/06/18		HOKU Initials & Date /s/DS 6/18/2007

PAGE 9 OF 36

to the Collateral consisting of real property. Any cost for obtaining the title insurance shall be borne by HOKU.

7.2 HOKU shall cause its applicable holding company to pledge to GEWD all of the equity interests in HOKU and such equity interests shall constitute Collateral for the obligations of HOKU under this Agreement.

7.3 GEWD acknowledges and agrees that the security interests and liens in the Collateral will not be first priority security interests, will be expressly subordinated to HOKU’s third-party lenders (the “Senior Lenders”) that provide up to a maximum of $[*] (gross) in debt financing for the construction of the Initial Capacity of the HOKU Facility, in addition to such other reasonably required debt in order to finance the Expansion Capacity, and may be subordinated as a matter of law to other security interests, and to security interests that are created and perfected prior to the security interest granted to GEWD hereby. GEWD shall enter into subordination agreements with the Senior Lenders on terms and conditions reasonably accept able to the Senior Lenders.

7.4 In addition, GEWD shall enter into collateral, intercreditor and other agreements (the “Collateral Agreements”) with HOKU’s Senior Lenders, and with SANYO Electric Co., Ltd. and HOKU’s other customers who provide prepayments for Products (collectively, “HOKU’s Other Customers”), as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that the security interest granted hereby is pari passu with the security interests that may be granted to HOKU’s Other Customers. GEWD may not unreasonably refuse to sign any such Collateral Agreement, provided that such Collateral Agreement grants GEWD a pari passu priority with respect to HOKU’s Other Customers, and is expressly subordinated to the Senior Lenders. HOKU will cooperate with GEWD in disclosing HOKU’s financing agreements with the Senior Lenders.

7.5 HOKU shall grant the security interest described in Section 7.1 to GEWD prior to any payment of the installments described Sections 5.2.2 and 5.2.4 or to any corresponding draw downs against the GEWD Letters of Credit. The Parties have discussed the nature and scope of HOKU’s bank financing plan. In the event of a material increase by HOKU and/or the Senior Lenders in the anticipated long term bank debt currently estimated at $[*] (gross) of the proposed total project cost for the Initial Capacity of the Hoku Facility, in addition to such other reasonably required debt in order to finance the Expansion Capacity, the result of which would materially diminish the amount of Collateral available to GEWD and HOKU’s Other Customers in the event of a HOKU default or insolvency, GEWD shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.2.1.

7.6 The security interest granted hereby shall continue so long as HOKU continues to maintain any amount of the Total Deposit, and only to the extent of such remaining amount of the Total Deposit being held by HOKU, which has not been credited against the shipment of Products pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Collateral consisting of real property shall secure only the obligations of HOKU to refund any portion of the Total Deposit to GEWD in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

7.7 HOKU shall use substantially all of the cash proceeds from the Total Deposit, prepayments received from HOKU’s Other Customers, and the principal amount of the debt financing from the Senior Lenders towards the construction and operation of HOKU’s polysilicon production plant

as set forth herein (which may include transaction costs, fees, interest and principal payments to the Senior Lenders).

8. Product Quality Guarantee; Warranty Claims

8.1 HOKU warrants to GEWD that the Products shall meet the agreed minimum quality and other specifications set forth in the Quality Specifications of Appendix 2 to this Agreement and be free of defects in material and workmanship. The same warranty shall apply to all Products supplied by a third party supplier under instructions of HOKU. For each shipment, these warranties shall survive for [*] days after the applicable shipment date (the “Warranty Period”).

8.2 Provided that GEWD complies with the return goods policy described in Section 9 hereof, HOKU will, upon prompt notification and compliance with HOKU’s return goods policy, refund in full or replace, at HOKU’s sole option and expense, any Product which does not meet the Quality Specifications. GEWD shall conduct one quality analysis each calendar quarter during each Contract Year from Products delivered by HOKU in order to determine whether the Products comply with the Quality Specifications. In the event, GEWD determines that the delivered Product does not comply with the said Quality Specifications, GEWD shall without undue delay notify HOKU of the nature of the non-compliance and identify the monthly shipment from which the sample was taken.

8.3 No employee, agent or representative of HOKU, other than an executive officer of HOKU, has the authority to bind HOKU to any oral representation or warranty concerning the Products. Any oral representation or warranty made prior to the purchase of any Product and not set forth in writing and signed by a duly authorized executive officer of HOKU shall not be enforceable by GEWD. HOKU makes no warranty and shall have no obligation with respect to damages caused by or resulting from accident, misuse, neglect or unauthorized alternations by GEWD to the Products.

8.4 HOKU’s warranties are limited to those warranties specifically set forth in Section 8.1 above. HOKU EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. HOKU’S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY AND GEWD’S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF THE PURCHASE OF ANY PRODUCT IS A FULL REFUND OR REPLACEMENT, AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. IN NO EVENT SHALL HOKU’S LIABILITY EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE PAID THEREFOR; NOR SHALL HOKU BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIMS, LOSSES OR DAMAGES OF ANY INDIVIDUAL OR ENTITY OR FOR LOST PROFITS OR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, HOWEVER ARISING, EVEN IF HOKU HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

9. Return Goods Policy

9.1 Provided that GEWD provides written notice to HOKU during the applicable Warranty Period that Products do not meet the Quality Specifications, such Products may be returned to HOKU within [*] days after such notification for replacement or a full refund (at HOKU’s sole option). In the event of a warranty violation, GEWD shall be entitled to demand that HOKU recall all defective Products, in addition to all previously delivered Products, which originated from the same production

batch from which the non-complying sample was taken. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and prior to any return of Products pursuant to Section 8 above or this Section 9.1, HOKU shall have an opportunity to conduct a rest or provide for a third party test of the questionable Products to verify any defect. HOKU shall bear all costs for such third party test; provided, however, that GEWD shall reimburse HOKU for such costs if the third party test ultimately determines that the Products are not defective and the warranty claim is not valid.

9.2 To assure prompt handling, GEWD must obtain a return goods authorization number from HOKU and reference this number on return shipping documents. Returns made without the authorization number will be returned to GEWD, freight collect. HOKU reserves the right to reverse any credit issued to GEWD (i) for any Product not returned after authorization and request by HOKU; or (ii) if, upon return, such Product is determined by HOKU not to be defective. HOKU will provide GEWD a copy of any printed provisions of the HOKU Return Goods Policy and any changes or modifications thereof as they occur.

10. Mutual Indemnities

10.1 GEWD Indemnification. Subject to the limitations on liability contained in Section 12, GEWD releases HOKU from any third party claims, and agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend HOKU and its affiliates and their respective directors, officers and employees (collectively, the “HOKU Parties”) from and against any and all Losses or Proceedings from any third party claims, arising out of, or based upon (a) any loss caused by Products following transfer of title and risk of loss to GEWD pursuant to this Agreement, (b) any breach of this Agreement by GEWD, or (c) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any GEWD Party (as defined below) in connection with the performance by GEWD of its obligations under this Agreement, other than any such Losses or Proceedings arising out of or based upon any breach of this Agreement by HOKU or the gross negligence or willful misconduct of HOKU; provided, however, that, if such Losses or Proceedings also arise out of or are based upon any breach of this Agreement by HOKU or the gross negligence or willful misconduct of HOKU, the court adjudicating the matter pursuant to Section 156.2 shall decide on the basis of the relative fault of the Parties the extent to which GEWD’s release and indemnification under this Section 10.1 shall be enforce.

use the same, except as expressly permitted. The following information shall not constitute Confidential Information for purposes of this Section 13:

13.1.4 any information that the receiving Party is legally required to disclose; or

13.1.5 any information that is independently developed by the receiving Party.

For the purpose of this Section 13.1.1, a specific item of Confidential Information shall not be deemed to be within the foregoing exceptions merely because it is embraced by more general information in the public domain or in the possession of the receiving Party. In addition, any combination of features shall not be deemed to be within the foregoing exceptions merely because individual features are in the public domain or in the possession of the receiving Party, but only if the combination itself and its principle of operation are in the public domain or in the possession of the receiving Party.

13.2 Disclosure of Confidential Information. If the receiving Party becomes legally compelled to disclose any of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, the receiving Party shall promptly advise the disclosing Party of such legal compulsion in order that the disclosing Party may seek a protective order or such other remedy as the disclosing Party may consider appropriate in the circumstances.

13.3 Return of Confidential Information. Upon written request at termination by the disclosing Party, all Confidential Information in whatever form shall be returned to the disclosing Party upon termination of this Agreement, without retaining copies thereof except that one copy of all such Confidential Information may be retained by the other Party’s legal department solely for the purpose of policing this Agreement.

13.4 Disclosure to Third Parties. Notwithstanding the above in this Article 11, HOKU shall have a right to disclose GEWD’s Confidential Information to third parties, including, without

13.5 Survival. The obligation of confidentiality under this Article 13 survives for five (5) years following the termination of this Agreement.

13.6 Integration of Prior Agreement. This Section 13 expressly supercedes all prior confidentiality agreements, oral and written, between HOKU and GEWD.

15. Force Majeure

15.1 Neither Party shall be liable to the other Party for failure of or delay in performance of any obligation under this Agreement, directly, or indirectly, owing to acts of God, war, war-like condition, embargoes, riots, strike, lock-outs and other events beyond its reasonable control, provided, however, that the non-performing Party shall not be so excused to the extent such default ore delay is attributable to such non-performing Party failing to use reasonable efforts to prevent or such non-performing Party causing such default or delay, and such default or delay could not reasonably be circumvented by the non-performing Party through the use of alternate sources, workaround plans or other means. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a strike, lock-out or other labor dispute involving a Party (or, in the case of Supplier, a subcontractor or supplier) and its own personnel will not excuse such Party from performing its obligations hereunder. In such event, the non-performing Party will be excused from further performance or observance of the obligation(s) so affected for as long as such circumstances prevail and such Party continues to use commercially reasonable efforts to recommence performance or observance whenever and to whatever extent without delay. If such failure or delay occurs, the affected Party (i.e., the party that is unable to perform) shall notify the other Party of the occurrence thereof as soon as possible, and the Parties shall discuss the best way to resolve the event of force majeure. If the conditions of force majeure apply for a period of more than two (2) consecutive calendar months, the non-affected Party shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement by written notice to other Party.

16. General Provisions

then may a Party resort to arbitration. Any such arbitration shall be in Santa Xxxxx County, the State of California, USA in accordance with the then current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. As the only exceptions to any of the above: (a) if a party is entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief, this section shall not be deemed to be a bar to the party seeking such relief if such relief is wholly non-monetary injunctive or other equitable relief, in which case such action, suit or proceeding may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction located in the United States. The terms of this section shall apply regardless of the country of origin of any problem. Further, each party agrees that any judgment rendered in arbitration, or by a state or federal court located in the United States (as applicable) is a valid and binding judgment, entitled to recognition and enforcement in and by any court, tribunal, judge, jury or other body exercising judicial functions located in the country of the applicable party (collectively, a “Local Court”). Each Party agrees that any such judgment may be entered into evidence in any suite, action or proceeding commenced in any Local Court and hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any objection that it may now or hereafter have relating to the validity of any such judgment and its introduction into evidence in any suit, action or proceeding in any Local Court, and further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such suit, action or proceeding that the judgment may not be recognized or enforced by such Local Court.
