11

current price was set unless it is caused by (i) extraordinary circumstances beyond the control of ExcelStor, such as market driven allocation and obsolescence, (ii) Satcon’s failure to meet the Minimum Annual Purchase Volume (as defined in Paragraph 4.2.3 herein), or (iii) unachievable pricing assumptions.

4.2.2. ExcelStor shall provide Satcon with an updated Production BOM with costs for each material, component and Sub Assemblies for each Product in an electronic format at least quarterly or in exceptional circumstances, within five (5) days after any request by Satcon.

4.2.3.

4.2.4. During the Term, the Parties shall meet within fifteen (15) days after the beginning of each quarter to review, among other things, the Product Prices (the “Quarterly Business Review”).  At the Quarterly Business Review, subject to the Parties’ agreement, price adjustments shall be made for:

(i) extraordinary circumstances beyond the control of ExcelStor, such as market driven allocation and obsolescence, or unachievable pricing assumptions;

(ii) the Minimum Annual Purchase Volume scheme as provided in Paragraph 4.2.3 herein;

(iii) the foreign exchange rate between RMB and USD has fluctuated by more than 5% in the preceding twelve (12) months, using an initial baseline exchange rate of 6.85 RMB / USD as of the Effective Date; and/or

PRICING FORMULA

Definitions

1) Material Cost ($) = sum of the actual material-only costs incurred by ExcelStor for producing the Products

2) Material Overhead (%) = Packaging, local transportation insurance, inbound freight and scrap costs incurred on materials, expressed as a % of Material Cost

3) Direct Labor ($) = Standard assembly and test hours/unit * Standard hourly factory rate, which will include standard pay, an estimate of overtime pay and applicable benefits and social insurance

4) Overhead ($) = sum of actual indirect costs incurred by ExcelStor for producing the Products.  Examples include indirect supervision, supply chain management, logistics, direct utilities, direct travel and manufacturing supplies.  These costs should be broken into two distinct cost pools:

i. Initial overhead costs shall be amortized in Product Prices over 2-3 years based on projected volumes in either units or Megawatts, and then disappear;

ii. On-going overhead costs shall be allocated to individual Products based on projected volumes in either units or Megawatts.

5) Profit (%) = Burden rate applied to total cost for the estimate of ExcelStor’s profit

Pricing Formula — Assemblies and Sub-Assemblies

1) Total Cost = Material Cost + Direct Labor + Overhead + (Material Overhead %) * Material Cost

2) Purchase Order Price ($) = Total Cost + (Total Cost * Profit %)

Pricing Formula — parts

1) If parts are purchased directly from common suppliers, then Purchase Order Price ($) = Material Cost ($)

2) If parts are purchased directly from Excelstor, then Purchase Order Price ($) = Material Cost + (Material Cost * Insurance and Freight %)

Pricing Appendix

Actual %s and examples will be in an appendix.  Specific variables will include:

1) Material Overhead % initially set at ***  markup from Material Cost

2) Direct Labor standard hourly rate initially set at ***

3) One-time and on-going Overhead cost pools initially set at a *** multiple of Direct Labor for 2009

4) Profit % initially set at *** markup from Total Cost

SCHEDULE 3

EPIDEMIC WARRANTY CONDITIONS

An Epidemic Warranty Condition of Products exists when a failure of Products to comply with the warranty in Paragraph 7.1.2 causes a significant percentage of Products to fail in Satcon’s application and more Products have the potential to fail due to the same defect.  The aforementioned percentage measures the actual failures of Products within some population of Products that share a common production characteristic or event related to the defect such as time of manufacture (same lot, batch or version), or that contain an identical suspect element or have undergone a unique suspect process that could have produced the defect (“Population”).  A calculation resulting in a failure rate of over ten percent (10%) in the Population of Products (where the Population is contains 50 or more units) that are under warranty as provided in this Agreement, or the failure of five (5) units (where the Population contains fewer than 50 units) that are under warranty as provided in this Agreement, is deemed Epidemic.

In the event of such Epidemic Conditions, ExcelStor agrees to expedite the replacement or repair of all Product in the Population, immediately remedy the root cause of the defect and pay all reasonable costs associated with any remedial action.  Reasonable costs will include, but are not limited to, the cost to repair or replace the Products, expedited air freight and shipping charges, and direct costs incurred by Satcon or Satcon’s agents to remove and replace the non-conforming products.

In addition to other remedies provided in any other provision of this Agreement, if Satcon notifies ExcelStor that any Product shows evidence of an Epidemic Warranty Condition and ExcelStor confirms the existence of such Epidemic Warranty Condition, ExcelStor shall use reasonable commercial efforts to prepare and propose a corrective action plan (“CAP”) with respect to such Product within five (5) days of said confirmation, addressing implementation and procedure milestones for remedying such Epidemic Warranty Condition(s). Satcon shall make available in a timely manner samples of the Products evidencing an Epidemic Warranty Condition.

Epidemic failure excludes: Product failures directly due to action(s) that voids the Product warranty under this Agreement, non-conformities expressly approved by Satcon, and failures occurring in the Population outside of the warranty period in this Agreement.

		value total on a per-month basis. This rate is defined on a month-to-month failure-to-number of units shipped rate.
		For example, if 100 Inverters of Supplier’s units are shipped from one type in a given month, each time one of those units fails it will count against the monthly failure rate. Shipped date is Supplier to Satcon. The failures of monthly population (monthly population: Number of one model of Inverters shipped from Supplier to Satcon per month) will be cumulatively counted in relation to monthly population during the warranty period. At any point within the warranty period, monthly failure rate must be less than or equal to ***  in 2009, *** in 2010, and *** in 2011.
QA & QC Process Documentation:		Supplier will provide documentation on quality assurance and quality control processes (control plans & process failure mode effect analysis) from initial start up of product to product end-of-life upon Satcon’s request.
