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.

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.

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 (5^th) 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

 

 

---

 

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

 

 

---

 

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

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. Acceptance of Products shall only occur as set forth in Section 5.2.2.

4.6     Set-Off.  Vivint Solar may set-off against amounts Invoiced by Vivint any amounts either (a) agreed by Vivint to be due to Vivint Solar, or (b) determined by a non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction to be due to Vivint Solar, in either case as a result of: (i) a failure of any Product to comply with the applicable Specification, the applicable Purchase Order, or any other requirement set forth in this Agreement; (ii) third party Actions for Losses filed or threatened to be filed (including any Encumbrances) relating to Vivint; (iii) the occurrence of an Event of Default set forth in Section 13.1; (iv) any other amounts payable by Vivint to Vivint Solar under this Agreement. Failure or forbearance on the part of Vivint Solar in off-setting any amounts against Vivint shall not be construed as accepting or acquiescing to any performance or non-performance, including any disputed claims or amounts.

Article 5

DELIVERY, ACCEPTANCE AND REJECTION, TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS

5.1     Delivery of Products, Shipment Protocol and Packaging.

5.1.1    Delivery.  All Products purchased by Vivint Solar and sold by Vivint under Purchase Orders shall be delivered by Vivint to Vivint Solar F.C.A. Vivint’s Facility (INCOTERMS^® 2010) (“Delivery Point”) in accordance with this Article 5 and the Scheduled Ship Dates set forth in the applicable Delivery Schedule. Vivint acknowledges and agrees that time is of the essence with respect to each delivery of Products to the Delivery Point. If Vivint causes the delivery of Products to occur at a location other than the Delivery Point without Vivint Solar’s written consent, Vivint Solar shall only be responsible for paying the average shipping-related costs (on a per Product basis) that Vivint Solar was charged for shipments from the Delivery Point to the same Destination Point(s) in the prior three (3) calendar months.

5.1.2    Transportation Arrangements.  Vivint shall be responsible for making all transportation arrangements with Carriers in order to ship such Product from the Delivery Point to the Destination Point, including unloading the Products at the Destination Point, all in accordance with the applicable Delivery Schedule, the Shipment Protocol, and the other provisions of this Section 5.1. All costs and expenses charged by Carriers to Vivint shall be passed through to Vivint Solar, without markup, on the applicable Invoice delivered with shipment of the Products. The Unit Price includes all internal Vivint personnel time spent performing such scheduling and arrangement services. If Vivint Solar requires Vivint to cancel its transportation arrangements with a Carrier for any reason or requests expedited or premium shipping, then Vivint Solar shall be responsible for cancellation charges or additional premium charges incurred by Vivint; provided, however, Vivint shall be responsible for any premium shipping charges related to late delivery of a Product. 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.

(a)    Documents of Title.  Vivint shall provide the Carrier with a bill of lading, bill of sale or other document of title when the Products are delivered to the Carrier at the Delivery Point.

 

 

---

 

(b)    Packing List.  Vivint shall provide an itemized list of all Products delivered to a Carrier for each shipment (which may include multiple trucks) in order to validate the quantity and type of Products delivered. The packing list must include (i) the Purchase Order number, (ii) the model name and Product number, and (iii) the quantity of each Product so shipped.

5.1.3    Packaging.  Vivint shall package, mark and handle all of the Products and shipping containers in accordance with prudent commercial practices in the United States manufacturing industry and Vivint’s standard practices.

5.1.4    Importer of Record.  As between Vivint and Vivint Solar, Vivint shall be the “importer of record” with respect to all Products and raw materials composing such Products.

5.1.5    Shipment Protocols.  Vivint shall cause the Carriers to comply with any reasonable protocols for delivery of Products at the Destination Point that Vivint Solar provides to Vivint within a reasonable period of time prior to the Scheduled Ship Date (the “Shipment Protocols”), including receiving hours, restrictions on the Carrier’s vehicle size, etc. Any special Shipment Protocols that result in Carriers adding or increasing charges to Vivint shall be payable by Vivint Solar pursuant to Article 4 and Section 5.1.2.

5.1.6    Early Deliveries.  Vivint Solar reserves the right to refuse delivery of any quantity of Products more than that specified in its Purchase Order and any deliveries to the Destination Point(s) made more than five (5) days in advance of the Delivery Date specified for such Products. Vivint Solar may return, freight collect, all Products received prior to such date or in excess of the quantity specified in the applicable Purchase Order, or may, at its option, retain such Products with payment deferred until it would otherwise be due as though the Invoice was submitted on the original Scheduled Ship Date.

5.2     Rejection of Products and Acceptance.

5.2.1    Rejection of Products.

(a)    Inspection.  Vivint Solar shall inspect the Products within five (5) days after arrival of the Products at the Destination Point.

(b)    Rejection.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or applicable Laws that may be altered by contract (including, without limitation, Utah Code § 70A-2-602(1)), Vivint Solar or its representatives may, by notice to Vivint pursuant to Section 5.2.1(c), reject any non-conforming Product or shipments of Products up to the earlier of: (i) commencement of installation of the Product; or (ii) ten (10) days following the Delivery Date. If Vivint Solar rejects any Product, Vivint Solar shall promptly return the rejected Products to Vivint (at Vivint’s expense), whereupon Vivint must either (at Vivint’s option) (A) refund any amounts paid by Vivint Solar for such rejected Product, or (B) replace the rejected Product at Vivint’s sole cost and expense (including shipping and transportation costs for returning the rejected Product from its then-current location and shipping the replacement Product to the Destination Point nominated by Vivint Solar) within thirty (30) days after receiving Vivint Solar’s written notice of rejection.

(c)    Notice of Rejection.  Vivint Solar’s notice of rejection shall include (i) a description of the reason(s) for the rejection, and (ii) if applicable, of the damage or defect to the Product.

5.2.2    Acceptance.  Any Products not rejected in accordance with Section 5.2.1 shall be deemed accepted by Vivint Solar; provided, that such deemed acceptance shall not affect any right or remedy available pursuant to the Warranty applicable to the Product regardless of whether such right or remedy is exercised by Vivint Solar or by any assignee or transferee. 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. Vivint warrants good title to all Products furnished hereunder, and Vivint represents that, when title to a Product passes to and vests in Vivint Solar or its designee as described in this Section 5.3, such Product shall be free and clear of any and all Encumbrances including any purchase money security interest or right of Vivint to perfect any such security interest in the Products. 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,

 

 

---

 

transfer of title to Products hereunder shall not affect Vivint Solar’s rights or Vivint’s obligations as set forth in other provisions of this Agreement (including Article 5, Article 9 and Article 11).

5.4     No Encumbrances.

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. There shall be no cross-collateralization of the Products.

5.5    Risk of Loss.  Subject to Article 8, care, custody and control of the Products, and risk of loss to the Products, shall transfer from Vivint to Vivint Solar at the Delivery Point when such Products have been loaded on the Carrier’s means of transport.

Article 6

PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS, ENGINEERING CHANGES AND INSPECTIONS

6.1     Specifications.  Vivint shall supply Products that conform to the applicable Specifications, all Warranties and the other requirements of this Agreement.

6.2     Modifications to Existing Products.

6.2.1    Generally.  Vivint shall provide written notice to Vivint Solar at least thirty (30) days prior to making any hardware, software or firmware modifications to a Product. Vivint shall not make any changes to any Product and for any reason reasonably would be foreseen to have an adverse effect on the functionality of the Product without first obtaining Vivint Solar’s written consent. Upon Vivint Solar’s agreement to such modifications, the Parties will amend Exhibit A-1 to substitute the modified Specifications for the obsolete Specifications resulting from any such modification. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.2.1, without prior notice to Vivint Solar, Vivint may make any modification to any Product that is required to be made by any Governmental Authority, or that Vivint reasonably determines to be necessary in connection with a voluntary safety recall of the Products or otherwise for consumer safety considerations, provided that Vivint promptly thereafter provides written notice of such modification to Vivint Solar.

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.

6.3    New Products.  In connection with its Product Development Activities, Vivint shall keep Vivint Solar informed of any new Products or improvements to the Sky Panel as it exists as of the Effective Date or improved Products after the Effective Date. Vivint Solar will notify Vivint in writing if it wishes to add the new products to this Agreement. If Vivint Solar agrees, the Parties will proceed to amend Exhibit A-1 to establish new or revised Unit Prices (which the Parties agree shall be consistent with Vivint’s fully-burdened cost to produce such new Products), add model names and numbers, and add new Specifications. Following amendment of

Exhibit A-1, the new products will be considered Products under this Agreement and will be purchased and sold under the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

6.4     Manufacturing Facility Inspections.  Vivint Solar, at Vivint Solar’s sole cost and expense, shall have the right (but not the obligation) to inspect Vivint’s Manufacturing Facility, including inspection of the production of the Products at Vivint’s Manufacturing Facility, upon at least five (5) Business Days prior notice. Vivint shall make available to Vivint Solar a representative of Vivint to answer questions and demonstrate the quality control procedures at Vivint’s Manufacturing Facility or Vivint’s Facility, as applicable.

6.5    Discovery of Defects; Corrective Actions.  If any inspection or testing by Vivint Solar indicates that any of the Products that have been identified for shipment to Vivint Solar are defective and/or do not comply with the Specifications, the applicable Purchase Order, the applicable Warranty, or any other requirement set forth in this Agreement, Vivint Solar shall notify Vivint of such defect or non-compliance, and Vivint shall implement all necessary actions to ensure that the Products to be shipped to Vivint Solar in accordance with this Agreement and the Purchase Orders comply with the Specifications, the applicable Purchase Order, the applicable Warranty, or such other applicable requirement set forth in this Agreement.

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.

LIMITED WARRANTY

Vivint, Inc. (“Vivint”) hereby represents and warrants that the Sky Panel, and any hardware and software components relating thereto or embedded therein, including the smart thermostat and sensors if purchased with the Sky Panel (“Products”) (a) shall be free of defects in workmanship, materials and design, (b) shall, at the time of delivery, be new and unused, (c) shall meet the applicable Product specification (“Specification”), and (d) shall, at the time of delivery, comply with all applicable Laws, Standards and Codes (“Limited Product Warranty”). The Limited Product Warranty covers any failure of an Product that is defective or otherwise does not conform to the Limited Product Warranty (“Defective Product”) for a period of one (1) year from the date of delivery to the original purchaser, or from the date of installation if Vivint installed the Product; provided, however, if Vivint receives longer warranty periods on certain components of the Product or software, the foregoing warranty period shall be the same as the warranty period received by Vivint on such components or software (the “Product Warranty Period”). This Limited Product Warranty also covers any new Products substituted for the originally-warranted Product in connection with a Product hardware upgrade by Vivint, and the Product Warranty Period on such new Products will commence upon delivery to the original purchaser or the date of installation if Vivint installed the Product.

During the Product Warranty Period, the Limited Product Warranty is freely transferable to a different owner (“Transferee”) as long as the Product (and any new Products substituted in connection with a hardware upgrade by Vivint) remains installed at the originally-installed end user location (“Original Location”).

During the Product Warranty Period, if Vivint Solar or the owner of the Products notifies Vivint of a defect, and Vivint confirms, through inspection, the existence of a defect that is covered by the Limited Product Warranty, as Vivint Solar’s or the Product owner’s sole remedy and recourse with respect to such defect, Vivint will, at its option, either repair or replace the Defective Product free of charge.

If Vivint elects to repair or replace the Defective Product, Vivint will use new parts in repairing or replacing the Defective Product. Vivint reserves the right to use parts or products of original or improved design in the repair or replacement of Defective Product provided they are backwards compatible with the solar photovoltaic project. If Vivint repairs or replaces a Defective Product, the Limited Product Warranty will continue to cover the repaired or replacement product for the remainder of the original Product Warranty Period or ninety (90) days from the date of Vivint’s return shipment of the repaired or replacement product, whichever is later. The Limited Product Warranty covers a replacement unit to replace the Defective Product, all parts, as well as all labor costs related to (1) removal of the Defective Product, (2) installation of a repaired or replacement Product, and (3) diagnostic tests to confirm proper functionality. To the extent applicable, the Limited Product Warranty also covers the costs of returning the Defective Product via Vivint’s RMA policy and procedure described further below, as well as shipping a repaired or replacement product from Vivint, via a non-expedited freight carrier selected by Vivint, to locations specified by the owner of the Defective Product. Risk of loss relating to a Product that has been removed for repair offsite shall pass to Vivint when the removal process begins and shall transfer back to the owner of the Product when reinstallation of the repaired Product is complete and the Product is confirmed functional and not defective.

The Products are designed to withstand normal operating conditions and typical wear and tear when used for their original intent and in compliance with the installation and operating instructions supplied with the original equipment. The Limited Product Warranty does not apply to, and Vivint will not be responsible for, any defect in or damage to any Product: (1) that has been misused, neglected, tampered with, altered, or otherwise damaged, either internally or externally by any person other than Vivint personnel; (2) that has been improperly installed, operated, handled or used by persons other than Vivint personnel, including use in an unsuitable environment, or use in a manner contrary to the Vivint User Manual or applicable laws or regulations; (3) that has been subjected to fire, water, generalized corrosion, biological infestations, acts of God, or input voltage that creates operating conditions beyond the maximum or minimum limits listed in the Product’s Specifications, including high input voltage from generators or lightning strikes; (4) that has been subjected to incidental or consequential damage caused by defects of other components of the solar system; or (5) if the original identification markings (including trademark or serial number) of such Product have been defaced, altered, or removed. This Limited Product Warranty does not cover cosmetic, technical or design defects, or shortcomings which do not influence or affect the operation, form, fit, or function of the Product. The Limited Product Warranty does not cover costs related to the removal, installation or troubleshooting of the owner’s electrical systems.
