  4.2. Section 2.16(c) of the Merger Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“(c) Calculation of Earnout Distributions; Securityholder Representative Objections; Payment of Earnout Consideration.

(i) Reserved.

(ii) Following the achievement of the Second Milestone, within 45 days of the end of each month prior to and including the month ending December 31, 2017, Parent shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Securityholder Representative a memorandum (the “Earnout Notice”) specifying in reasonable detail the Final Surviving Entity’s manufacturing production for the New York Manufacturing Facility and the average Fully Loaded Cost of production for the prior three months. If a portion of the Earnout Consideration is payable in respect of such prior three months (such portion, an “Earnout Payment”), then the applicable Earnout Notice shall also include the calculation of the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock payable in respect of such Earnout Payment valued at the applicable Earnout Closing Price.

(iii) The Securityholder Representative shall have 15 days to make an objection in writing to any item in the Earnout Notice, and that objection must be delivered to Parent prior to the expiration of such 15 day period. If no such objection is delivered to Parent within such 15 day period, then the applicable Earnout Notice shall become final and binding on Parent, the Company Securityholders and the Securityholder Representative.

(iv) At any time following delivery of an objection pursuant to Section 2.16(c)(iii), either Parent or the Securityholder Representative may elect to resolve any dispute regarding the Earnout Notice in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 8.4(d).

 

-4-


(v) Promptly following the resolution of any objections to an Earnout Notice that includes an Earnout Payment, Parent shall distribute (or cause its agent to distribute) such Earnout Payment to the applicable Company Securityholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any portion of the Earnout Payment payable to holders of Unvested Company Options will be paid to the holder in accordance with the vesting schedule applicable to the Unvested Company Option prior to the Effective Time, subject to the satisfaction of any vesting conditions (including continued service) that applied to the Unvested Company Option prior to the Effective Time.

(vi) Notwithstanding Section 2.16(c)(v), if Parent delivers an Earnout Notice stating that an Earnout Payment is payable and Parent has a claim outstanding for Excess Losses that have not yet been paid, then Parent shall distribute (or cause its agent to distribute) the portion, if any, of such Earnout Payment that is in excess of such claimed and unpaid Excess Losses to the Company Securityholders, and that portion of such Earnout Payment that is equal to such claimed and unpaid Excess Losses may be retained by Parent. Upon final resolution of such claim, then any such amount in dispute shall either be (A) distributed to the Company Securityholders; or (B) permanently retained by Parent in accordance with such resolution.

(vii) Reserved.

(viii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.16, Parent will be permitted, in its sole discretion, to satisfy any Earnout Payment in cash (based on the applicable Earnout Closing Price) rather than shares of Parent Common Stock; provided, however, that the total amount of Parent Common Stock paid to the Company Securityholders pursuant to this Agreement shall equal at least 40% of the total consideration paid to the Company Securityholders pursuant to this Agreement, calculated, for this purpose, based on the fair market value of any shares of Parent Common Stock included in each payment of consideration determined by averaging the high and low sales prices for a share of Parent Common Stock on the payment date.”

 

  4.3. Section 2.16(e) of the Merger Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“(e) Earnout Protections.

(i) Except as otherwise permitted by this Section 2.16(e), Parent will not take any action the principal purpose of which is to circumvent or adversely affect the Company’s ability to achieve the milestones required for the Earnout Consideration to be delivered; provided, however, that Parent’s obligation under this Section 2.16(e)(i) shall be subject in all respects to the prudent business judgment of Parent’s board of directors or management in connection with the business and operations of Parent and its Subsidiaries (including the Interim Surviving Entity and the Final Surviving Entity), taken as a whole, and nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Parent to (A) operate the Interim Surviving Entity or the Final Surviving Entity as a separate business; or (B) make any investments in any of the Company’s operations in China.

(ii) Parent shall fund the operations of the Final Surviving Entity (or the Interim Surviving Entity, as applicable) in a manner that is materially consistent with the annual operating plan in the form provided to Parent by the Company and attached to Schedule 2.16 (the “Operating Plan”), with such changes as may be agreed upon by Parent and the

 

-5-


management of the Final Surviving Entity (or the Interim Surviving Entity, as applicable), with the affirmative consent of Zheng Xu or, if he is no longer an employee of Parent or one of its Subsidiaries, another person that was a current employee of the Company on the Closing (Mr. Xu or such other employee, the “Management Representative”), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in the Operating Plan, it is understood and agreed that Parent shall have the right to cease or reduce funding the operations (other than ordinary course operating expenses) of the Final Surviving Entity (or the Interim Surviving Entity, as applicable) at any time if, in Parent’s prudent and reasonable business judgment, (A) the aggregate costs of the Company’s operations are more than 15% above the Operating Plan (as may be modified pursuant to Section 2.16(e)(ii)) for a particular quarter as of the end of such quarter (other than the first quarter following the Closing); (B) construction of the New York Manufacturing Facility is delayed by two or more quarters from that contemplated by the Operating Plan (as may be modified pursuant to Section 2.16(e)(ii)); (C) the funding contemplated by the New York Facility Agreement is not received; or (D) it is appropriate to do so to respond to Business Conditions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.16, if the First Earnout is not achieved and Parent reasonably determines in good faith that the Second Earnout is not likely to be achieved, then Parent shall have no obligation to provide any additional funding to the Final Surviving Entity (or the Interim Surviving Entity, as applicable).

(iv) Parent and the Securityholder Representative will reasonably cooperate to adjust the cost targets in Section 2.16(b) as necessary to minimize the effect of any increases in the market spot price for polysilicon and for any cost increases caused by Parent’s requirement that the Final Surviving Entity (or the Interim Surviving Entity, as applicable) change its manufacturing processes or procedures (including any requirement that the Final Surviving Entity (or the Interim Surviving Entity, as applicable) use Parent’s Zep system or develop Zep panels).

(v) In the event that the construction of the New York Manufacturing Facility is delayed as a result of any war, invasion, act of foreign enemies, hostilities (regardless of whether war is declared), civil war, rebellion, revolution, insurrection, military or usurped power or confiscation, terrorist activities, nationalization, government sanction, embargo or natural disaster, then the parties will cooperate to extend the deadlines associated with the First Earnout, the Second Earnout and the Third Earnout to account for any delays caused by such event.

(vi) Reserved.

(vii) Reserved.”
