On August 16, 2017, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vivint Solar, Inc. (the “Company”) and Vivint, Inc., the sister company of Vivint Solar, Inc., entered into a sales dealer agreement, pursuant to which each party will act as a non-exclusive dealer for the other party to market, promote and sell each other’s products. The agreement will have a two-year term, which will be automatically renewed for successive one-year terms unless written notice of termination is provided by one of the parties to the other no less than 90 days prior to the end of the then current term. The products, territories and consideration that is payable by each party to the other will be determined in accordance with the agreement. The sales dealer agreement replaces substantially all of the activities being undertaken under the parties’ marketing and customer relations agreement.

Contemporaneously with the execution of the sales dealer agreement, the Company and Vivint, Inc. agreed to extend the term of the non-solicitation provisions under their non-competition agreement to be coterminous with the term of the sales dealer agreement.

The description of the sales dealer agreement, marketing and customer relations agreement and non-competition agreement are qualified by reference to the forms of the agreements that, in the case of the sales dealer agreement, will be filed with the SEC as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending September 30, 2017, and, in the cases of the marketing and customer relations agreement and the non-competition agreement, were filed with the SEC on August 26, 2014 as exhibits to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1.
