3.2 Initial Purchase Commitment. Solarmax estimates that it will purchase and sell to its customers a minimum of three hundred seventy-five (375) Li-Max Energy System units within the first six (6) months of the Term of this Agreement. If, by the conclusion of said 6-month period, Solarmax has not purchased at least sixty percent (60%) of said minimum number of Li-Max Energy System units, then Li-Max shall have the right to give Solarmax notice thereof (“Notice of Deficient Purchase”), the receipt of which shall obligate Solarmax to purchase, within sixty (60) days, an additional number of Li-Max Energy System units sufficient to meet the 60% threshold. If, by the conclusion of said 60-day period, Solarmax has not purchased an additional number of Li-Max Energy System units sufficient to meet the 60% threshold, then Li-Max shall have the right, but not the obligation, to terminate this Agreement. Notice of such termination must be given within ten (10) days of the conclusion of said 60-day period, and shall be effective thirty (30) days from the date such notice is delivered to Solarmax. Failure to adhere to the foregoing terms for termination shall constitute a waiver of Li-Max’s termination rights under this Section. To the extent Solarmax’s purchases meet or exceed the 60% threshold, or to the extent Solarmax timely purchases a sufficient number of additional Li-Max Energy System units following receipt of a Notice of Deficient Purchase, Li-Max shall have no right to terminate this Agreement under this Section.
ARTICLE 4. Pricing and Fulfillment
4.1 Pricing. Li-Max agrees to charge Solarmax, and Solarmax agrees to pay Li-Max, those per-unit prices for Li-Max Equipment as stated on the Price List attached hereto as ATTACHMENT B (the “Base Price”), subject to adjustments as provided herein.
4.2 Other Price Adjustment. Any change in the Base Price shall be subject to separate negotiated- agreement between Li-Max and Solarmax. Any such agreed-upon change in the Base Price shall be stated in writing signed by both parties.
4.3 Purchase Procedures.

The parties shall use those documents and instruments which are standard within the industry in the purchase and delivery of Li-Max Energy Equipment (including standard purchase orders, bills of lading, invoices, and similar instruments; collectively, “Purchase Instruments”).
4.4 Li-Max Fulfillment Obligations. Li-Max agrees to fulfill all orders placed by Solarmax as soon as reasonably practical, but in no event shall fulfillment take more than sixty (60) days from receipt of an order. In the event an order is not Fulfilled within said 60-day period, Solarmax shall be entitled to a price adjustment on the order of one percent (1.0%) per day, not to exceed a maximum price adjustment of five percent (5.0%) of the full price due. As used herein, “Fulfillment”, “Fulfilled” and “Fulfill” refer to the delivery of Li-Max Energy Equipment units to Solarmax at its warehouse located at 0000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx in the City of Riverside, California, U.S.A., and acceptance thereof by Solarmax.

Notice of such termination must be given within ten (10) days of the date that payment was due, receipt of which shall entitle Solarmax to cure by submitting payment, plus a late fee of three percent (3.0%) of the payment amount, to Li-Max within five (5) days. Any such cure shall render the notice of termination void and forego the termination. Failure to adhere to the foregoing terms for termination shall constitute a waiver of Li-Max’s termination rights under this Section.
