PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND SUPPLY AGREEMENT
This PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND SUPPLY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of September 30, 2014 (“Effective Date”), by and between VIVINT SOLAR DEVELOPER, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Vivint Solar”), and VIVINT, INC., a Utah corporation (“Vivint”). Vivint Solar and Vivint are referred to herein individually as a “Party”, and collectively as the “Parties”.
RECITALS
WHEREAS, Vivint Solar and Vivint are affiliate business entities, under the common control and ownership of 313 Acquisition, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.
WHEREAS, the Parties have been operated as an interrelated business enterprise, but are undertaking to separate their operations.
WHEREAS, Vivint Solar and its Affiliates develop solar photovoltaic electric energy generation projects for residential and commercial customers (each, a “Project”).
WHEREAS, Vivint provides certain services relating to home automation, security, energy management solutions, internet services and data storage, retrieval, access and security products and services to residential and commercial customers (“Vivint Services”), and, in connection therewith, installs certain monitoring and communications equipment including the Sky Panel and other equipment as specified on Exhibit A-1, as amended during the Term (collectively, the “Monitoring and Communications Equipment”).
WHEREAS, as of the Effective Date, Vivint Solar purchases proprietary equipment from third parties in order to monitor, collect and communicate performance data from its Projects for billing and other purposes, along with related data services.
WHEREAS, the Parties agree that it may be in their mutual best interests to further develop the Monitoring and Communications Equipment’s functionality so that it has compatible and/or similar capabilities as certain equipment Vivint Solar purchases from third parties and for Vivint to perform similar data services for Vivint Solar and that they would benefit from cross-selling opportunities arising out of the increased use and installation of the Products, as so developed for use in Vivint Solar Projects.
WHEREAS, the Parties desire to set forth the terms and conditions upon which (i) they may elect to proceed with developing the Products, and (ii) Vivint Solar will use commercially reasonable efforts to purchase, and in which case, Vivint would sell, the Products and provide the Services.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
Article 1
DEFINITIONS AND GENERAL PROVISIONS
1.1 Definitions and Rules of Interpretation. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in Schedule 1.
1.2 Term. Unless terminated earlier as provided in this Agreement, the term of this Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and shall continue until the third (3rd) anniversary of the Effective Date (“Initial Term”). The Initial Term shall automatically renew for successive one (1) year periods (each, a “Renewal Term” and together with the Initial Term, the “Term”) unless this Agreement is terminated pursuant to its terms or a Party receives written notice from the other Party no less than three (3) months prior to the end of the Initial Term or a Renewal Term, as applicable, specifying that the sending Party is declining to renew this Agreement.

Product Development and Supply Agreement Vivint Solar, Inc. and Vivint, Inc. |
Article 2
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
2.1 Product Development Activities. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts develop the Products, including performing in good faith their respective Product Development Activities as detailed further in Exhibit A. The Parties may amend or restate Exhibit A from time to time pursuant to Section 19.7 as they refine or modify such Product Development Activities. When and if Vivint Solar determines that the Product Development Activities have been sufficiently completed, including such testing and debugging of the Products as the Parties shall undertake as part of the Product Development Activities, that Vivint Solar desires to commence ordering Products under this Agreement, Vivint Solar shall provide written notice of such determination (“Notice of Acceptance”). Notwithstanding Vivint Solar’s delivery of a Notice of Acceptance and purchase of Products, the Product Development Activities may continue as the Parties mutually deem necessary or appropriate.
2.2 Project Management. Each Party will designate a single point of contact within its organization to manage that Party’s respective Product Development Activities (each, a “Development Project Leader”), and the Development Project Leaders designated by each Party as of the Effective Date are set forth in Exhibit A. The Development Project Leaders will meet as necessary to manage the Product Development Activities. Vivint’s Development Project Leader will provide Vivint Solar’s Development Project Leader with reports on the status of the Product Development Activities at least once every calendar quarter during the Term.
2.3 Product Designs; Vivint Solar Materials. In connection with the design work conducted by it, Vivint will consider and use commercially reasonable efforts to incorporate Vivint Solar’s recommendations based on existing Vivint Solar designs and any improvements developed by Vivint Solar. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Vivint Solar hereby grants to Vivint and its permitted successors and assigns an irrevocable, limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-assignable and non-transferable (except as permitted under Section 19.3), fully paid-up, royalty-free, worldwide right and license to use (i) the Vivint Solar Background IP and New Vivint Solar Developments and (ii) any materials, information, data, designs, software, or other technology provided or made available by Vivint Solar (“Vivint Solar Materials”), in each case solely to perform the Product Development Activities and otherwise as required to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement. The Vivint Solar Materials are Vivint Solar’s Confidential Information.
2.4 Fees for Vivint’s Product Development Activities. Vivint Solar shall pay Vivint for Vivint’s Fully Loaded Costs it incurs in connection with Vivint’s performance of its Product Development Activities, without markup. Vivint shall invoice Vivint Solar quarterly the amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.4, and Vivint Solar shall pay such invoices within thirty (30) days after the invoice date.
Article 3
PRODUCT SUPPLY
3.1 Purchase Orders.
3.1.1 Generally. Subject to developing the Products to work with Vivint Solar Projects pursuant to Article 2, Vivint Solar will use commercially reasonable efforts to purchase and deploy such Products in connection with Vivint Solar Projects. The provisions of this Agreement shall apply to all Purchase Orders placed by Vivint Solar during the Term for the purchase of the Products. All purchases of Products under this Agreement will be subject only to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If the terms of any Purchase Order (other than as required by Section 3.1.3), acknowledgment, invoice, confirmation, or similar document conflict with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement will govern.
3.1.2 Forecasts. Simultaneously with its delivery of the Notice of Acceptance, Vivint Solar will submit to Vivint a 12-month forecast of Products it reasonably projects it will order during such 12-month period (the “12-Month Forecast”). Vivint Solar will update the 12-Month Forecast on a rolling basis no later than the fifth (5th) Business Day of each following calendar month. Vivint will have the option, at its discretion, to extend the shipment date as reasonably necessary to fulfill the excess portion of any Purchase Order that exceeds one hundred ten percent (110%) of the quantity of Products in the 12-Month Forecast for the period covered by such Purchase Order. At all times during the Term, Vivint Solar shall submit, during or covering such month, Purchase Orders for no fewer than 90% of the Products included in the 12-Month Forecast for such month as such forecast was provided for such month 120 days prior to such month (i.e., Vivint Solar must submit a Purchase Order for any month of the forecast for no fewer than 90% of the Products that were forecast for such month in the 12-Month Forecast delivered 120 days before the first business day
|
2 |
Product Development and Supply Agreement Vivint Solar, Inc. and Vivint, Inc. |
of such month). Subject only to this Section 3.1.2, Vivint Solar’s submission of Purchase Orders is in its sole discretion and that this Agreement does not impose a minimum purchase obligation on Vivint Solar.
3.1.3 Submission and Acceptance of Purchase Orders. At any time during the Term, and pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Vivint Solar may submit Purchase Orders to Vivint for Products. All Purchase Orders shall be submitted by electronic mail sent to Vivint’s Representative for Purchase Orders and, subject to Section 3.1.4, shall comply with the Required Lead Time. Each Purchase Order delivered by Vivint Solar shall:
(a) Identify the Products being ordered, including the model name and Product number set forth in Exhibit A-1;
(b) the applicable quantity of each type of Product being ordered (“PO Product Quantity”);
(c) the Delivery Schedule; and
(d) the applicable Unit Price for such Products determined in accordance with Section 4.1 and Exhibit A-1.
Within five (5) Business Days after receipt, Vivint shall accept and acknowledge in writing all Purchase Orders submitted by Vivint Solar except those that (i) do not conform to this Agreement, or (ii) are for a Rush Order when there is insufficient buffer inventory. If within such time period Vivint neither so accepts such Purchase Order nor rejects such Purchase Order in writing pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above, with a reasonably detailed explanation for the basis of such rejection, the Purchaser Order shall be accepted for purposes of this Agreement. If Vivint rejects a Purchase Order for one or both of the reasons described in pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above, it shall not be accepted. Upon acceptance of a Purchase Order by Vivint, and on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Vivint Solar must purchase such Products from Vivint, and Vivint must sell and deliver to Vivint Solar such Products at the Delivery Point in accordance with the applicable Purchase Order, the Delivery Schedule, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
3.1.4 Rush Orders. If Vivint Solar submits a Purchase Order with a Delivery Schedule that does not allow for the Required Lead Time (a “Rush Order”), and Vivint accepts such Purchase Order, Vivint shall use commercially reasonable efforts to fill any such Rush Order, including using the buffer inventory maintained pursuant to Section 7.1, if any, to fulfill any such Rush Order. Vivint may increase the Unit Price of each Product that is subject to a Rush Order by ten percent (10%). Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.1.4, Vivint shall be under no obligation to accept a Rush Order if the PO Product Quantity exceeds the buffer inventory of the ordered Products, if any, maintained pursuant to Section 7.1 as of the first Scheduled Ship Date proposed by Vivint Solar under such Purchase Order.
3.1.5 Changes to Destination Point. Notwithstanding anything in a Purchase Order or associated Delivery Schedule, Vivint Solar may revise the Destination Points in any Delivery Schedule provided such revision is delivered in writing to Vivint no later than five (5) days prior to the applicable Scheduled Ship Date for such installment of Products. Any increases in costs charged by the Carrier(s) relating to such change shall be paid by Vivint Solar in accordance with Section 5.1.2.
3.2 Installation of Products. During the Term: (a) Vivint Solar will use Good Faith Efforts to install Products in residences at which Vivint Solar installs a Project and correspondingly purchase such Products from Vivint under this Agreement; and (b) Vivint will use Good Faith Efforts to install Products that have been developed in connection with the Product Development Activities in each residence at which it performs Vivint Services. For purposes of this Section 3.2, “Good Faith Efforts” means that the Party charged with taking such actions shall (i) make a good faith assessment of the quality, features, functions, performance technological sophistication, cost and other operational attributes of the Products, and (ii) determine, based on the assessment referred to in clause (i), whether to install the Products, in the case of Vivint Solar, in its Projects, and in the case of Vivint, in residences where it performs Services, provided that if, based on the assessment referred to in clause (i) above, the Products are materially equivalent to any other product offered by any third party, Good Faith Efforts shall require the relevant Party to install Products rather than such other product.
3.3 Right to Use the Products Following Installation. Following Vivint Solar’s installation of a Product in connection with a Project, Vivint shall have the right to access and use such Product in the future in connection with its provision of Vivint Services at the same location so long as: (a) Vivint pays Vivint Solar a one-time payment equal to fifty percent (50%) of the original Unit Price of such Product, whether through a single payment to Vivint Solar or a credit against future amounts due by Vivint Solar (at Vivint Solar’s option) and which shall be in addition to any other consideration payable by Vivint to Vivint Solar under other
|
3 |
Product Development and Supply Agreement Vivint Solar, Inc. and Vivint, Inc. |
Contracts between the Parties; (b) such use does not interfere with Vivint Solar’s use of the Product or the Services provided by Vivint to Vivint Solar; and (c) title to the Product is vested in Vivint Solar. If Vivint installs a Product in connection with its provision of the Vivint Services, Vivint Solar shall have the right to access and use such Product if Vivint Solar later installs a Project at the same location so long as so long as: (i) Vivint Solar pays Vivint a one-time payment equal to fifty percent (50%) of the original Unit Price of such Product, in a single payment to Vivint and which shall be in addition to any other consideration payable by Vivint Solar to Vivint under other Contracts between the Parties; and (ii) such use does not interfere with Vivint’s use of such Product or Vivint’s provision of the Vivint Services at such location. The payments set forth in this Section 3.3 are in addition to any fees or other amounts payable under the Marketing Services Agreement.
Article 4
UNIT PRICE AND PAYMENT TERMS
4.1 Unit Price.
4.1.1 Unit Price and Contract Amount. The unit price for each Product shall be as set forth in Exhibit A-1 (the “Unit Price”), as may be modified pursuant to Section 4.1.2. All Unit Prices are F.C.A. Vivint’s Facility (INCOTERMS 2010) and are subject to the inclusions and exclusions specified in Section 4.2.
4.1.2 Unit Price Modification. Upon Vivint Solar’s delivery of the Notice of Acceptance and thereafter on each anniversary of the date on which the first Purchase Order for Products is issued by Vivint Solar and that is accepted by Vivint (each, the “Initial Purchase Order Anniversary”), the Unit Price shall be adjusted (up or down) for the upcoming year to an amount equal to the Fully Loaded Costs incurred by Vivint for such Product as of the date of such Initial Purchase Order Anniversary. Such adjustments to the Unit Price shall apply to Products purchased under Purchase Orders issued by Vivint Solar after the applicable Initial Purchase Order Anniversary. No later than thirty (30) days prior to each Initial Purchase Order Anniversary during the Term, Vivint shall provide Vivint Solar with the adjusted Unit Price along with reasonable supporting documentation to justify its determination of such adjustment (whether up or down). The Parties agree that Vivint shall use the same method for calculating the adjusted Unit Price as it used to calculate the Unit Price in Exhibit A-1 as of the Effective Date. Vivint Solar shall notify Vivint no later than twenty (20) days prior to the applicable Initial Purchase Order Anniversary if it has a good faith objection to Vivint’s calculations or methodology, and the Parties shall promptly meet and work to resolve any disagreements in in good faith prior to the applicable Initial Purchase Order Anniversary. Should the Parties fail to resolve any dispute by the Initial Purchase Order Anniversary, Vivint’s adjustment to the Unit Price shall nevertheless apply to Products purchase under Purchase Orders issued by Vivint Solar after the applicable Initial Purchase Order Anniversary, the Parties acknowledging that Vivint Solar has no obligation to issue such Purchase Orders.
4.2 Inclusions and Exclusions from Unit Prices. The Unit Prices include all (a) Product packaging, (b) licensing fees, royalties and similar charges, (c) labor and other internal overhead costs incurred by Vivint in making transportation arrangements pursuant to Section 5.1.2, (d) all Warranties, and (e) all Basic Services. Vivint Solar will be solely responsible for the payment of all applicable sales or use Taxes that accrue in connection with the purchase of the Products under this Agreement (except Taxes included in Carriers’ invoices relating to shipping), and will indemnify Vivint from damages resulting from the failure to make these payments. Vivint shall provide Vivint Solar with reasonable assistance in determining amounts payable for sales or use Taxes, provided such assistance does not result in Vivint incurring out-of-pocket costs to third parties. The Unit Prices exclude all transportation charges payable by Vivint Solar pursuant to Section 5.1.2, and such amounts relating to each shipment shall be listed as a separate line item on the Invoice accompanying the shipment pursuant to Section 4.3.
4.3 Invoices and Payment. Vivint will invoice Vivint Solar with each shipment (each, an “Invoice”). Payment terms will be the full invoiced amount payable within thirty (30) days after the Invoice date (i.e., net 30 payment terms) (each, a “Payment Date”). Vivint will submit Invoices electronically on the Delivery Date. Vivint Solar may, in good faith, dispute such Invoice by providing Vivint with written notice identifying the basis for such dispute, and the Parties shall work in good faith to promptly resolve any dispute prior to the Payment Date; provided, however, if a dispute regarding amounts set forth in an Invoice is ongoing, Vivint Solar shall nevertheless pay such disputed amounts by the Payment Date unless Vivint Solar otherwise rightfully rejects Products that form the basis of the Payment Dispute prior to the Payment Date. Any payment disputes not resolved as of the applicable Payment Date shall be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions in Article 16.
4.4 Late Payments. Any amount not paid by a Party when due under this Agreement shall accrue interest at the Late Payment Rate beginning on the date that is five (5) Business Days after the applicable Payment Date and continuing until paid in full
|

Product Development and Supply Agreement Vivint Solar, Inc. and Vivint, Inc. |
unless later determined that amounts on which interest is being charged were charged by Vivint in error. Additionally, if Vivint Solar is more than ten (10) days delinquent in any payment obligation to Vivint when and as due under this Agreement, Vivint may upon written notice to Vivint Solar (i) decline to accept Purchase Orders issued by Vivint Solar as of such date until all delinquent amounts and interest are paid in full, (ii) recover all costs of collection including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees; and (iii) upon Vivint Solar’s breach of this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.1.1, and in addition to any rights and remedies set forth in Section 13.2, suspend its performance under any Purchase Order and withhold future shipments until all delinquent amounts, interest and collection costs are paid in full; provided, however, notwithstanding any payment default, Vivint shall in no event suspend the Services or performance of its warranty obligations in connection with Products that have been delivered to Vivint Solar as of such date.
4.5 Payments Not Acceptance of Products. No payment made hereunder shall be considered or deemed to represent that Vivint Solar has inspected the Products or checked the quality or quantity thereof and shall not be deemed or construed as approval or acceptance of any Products, or as a waiver of any claim or right that Vivint Solar may then or thereafter have, including any warranty right.

Vivint shall use commercially reasonable efforts to use Carriers that have industry standard liability insurance, and Vivint shall notify Vivint Solar of Carriers it intends to use in advance of first retaining such Carriers so that Vivint Solar can verify insurance coverage. At any time during the Term, upon written notice, Vivint Solar may (a) request that Vivint not use a Carrier based on deficient insurance coverage (with any cancellation charges being reimbursed by Vivint Solar); and (b) assume responsibility for transportation arrangements, and the Parties will work together in good faith to ensure a seamless transition of responsibilities.

Once accepted, any defects discovered in a Product shall be resolved pursuant to the terms and conditions of the applicable Warranty. Delivery of a Product to the Carrier at the Delivery Point, or receipt by Vivint Solar of a Product at the Destination Point, shall in no event be construed as Vivint Solar’s acceptance of the Product.
5.3 Transfer and Warranty of Title. Subject to Article 8, title to each Product shall pass from Vivint to Vivint Solar or Vivint Solar’s designee at the Delivery Point when such Products have been loaded on the Carrier’s means of transport.

To the greatest extent permitted by Law, Vivint hereby waives any right it has to assert a security interest in the Products or to perfect such right, and Vivint covenants that it shall not file any U.C.C. financing statements asserting a security interest in the Products. For the avoidance of doubt,

5.4.1 No Vivint Encumbrances; Removal. Vivint shall not permit or suffer to exist any Encumbrance, including an Encumbrance of any Person claiming by, through or under Vivint, its subcontractors, vendors or any Affiliate thereof, upon the Products after passage of title (except for any Encumbrance securing payment for such Product arising by operation of law which shall be released pursuant to Section 5.4.3), any Project incorporating such Products, or other property of Vivint Solar, any Person to whom Vivint Solar has assigned or otherwise transferred Products, or the real or personal property of a customer hosting a Project (each, a “Vivint Encumbrance”). If any such Vivint Encumbrance is imposed or asserted, Vivint shall promptly pay or discharge and discharge of record any such Vivint Encumbrance or other charges which, if unpaid, might be or become a Vivint Encumbrance.
5.4.2 Vivint Solar Right to Remove. Upon the failure of Vivint to timely discharge or cause to be released any Vivint Encumbrance as required under Section 5.4.1, Vivint Solar may, but shall not be obligated to, pay, discharge or obtain a surety bond for such Vivint Encumbrance. Upon such payment, discharge or posting of surety bond, Vivint Solar shall be entitled to, at its option, set off such amounts together with all out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by Vivint Solar in connection with such payment, discharge or posting pursuant to Section 4.6 or submit an invoice to Vivint for reimbursement of all such amounts.
5.4.3 Security Interests Created by Operation of Law. If an Encumbrance attaches to the Products in favor of Vivint by operation of Law to secure payment for the Products, to the greatest extent permitted by applicable Law, such Encumbrance with respect to one Product shall not apply to any other Product, and payment in full for one Product shall serve to release such Encumbrance.

6.2.2 Costs of Changes. All modifications to a Product will be implemented at the sole expense of Vivint, unless the modification is (i) requested by Vivint Solar, or (ii) the defect or nonconformity necessitating the modification is the fault of Vivint Solar in providing defective functional specifications for Products, in which events Vivint Solar shall be responsible for the reasonable expenses of such modification, including a reasonable allocation of labor and overhead.

6.6 Inspections Not Waiver. Nothing in this Article 6 relating to any inspections or quality control tests undertaken with respect to Products, including any required replacement of Products that do not pass such inspection or testing, shall operate to relieve Vivint’s obligations to deliver the Products on a timely basis or to limit Vivint Solar’s termination rights pursuant to Article 13.

In case any such claim or legal action shall be made or brought against an Indemnified Party and such Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party thereof, the Indemnifying Party may, or if so requested by the Indemnified Party shall, assume the defense thereof and after notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense thereof with legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to the Indemnified Party under this Article 11 for any legal fees and expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such claim or legal action, then the Indemnifying Party shall remain liable to such Indemnified Party for any legal fees and expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof. No Indemnified Party shall settle any indemnified claim over which the Indemnifying Party has not been afforded the opportunity to assume the defense. The Indemnifying Party shall control the settlement of all claims over which it has assumed the defense; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall not conclude any settlement which requires any action or forbearance from action by an Indemnified Party, or any payment by an Indemnified Party, without the prior approval of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall provide reasonable assistance to the Indemnifying Party as reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense, in connection with such legal action or claim.
