ARTICLE 3. Distribution Terms

3.1 Resale Rights and Incorporation in Flex Energy Storage Systems. Li-Max authorizes Solarmax to resell, transfer, and otherwise distribute Li-Max Energy Equipment purchased by Solarmax to any individual or entity, at prices determined by Solarmax in its sole and absolute discretion; and Li-Max agrees not to interfere with Solarmax’s resale, transfer or distribution of Li-Max Energy Equipment, nor influence Solarmax’s pricing therefor. The authorization herein includes Solarmax’s right to: (i) incorporate Li-Max Energy Systems as components of and/or within Flex Energy Storage Systems; (ii) incorporate Li-Max Energy Systems on projects developed by Solarmax; (iii) sell Li-Max Energy Systems independent of other systems; (iv) incorporate Li-Max Energy Systems in any other system(s) which Solarmax may develop and/or market to its customers no or in the future; and (v) enter into sub-distribution agreements with other individuals and/or entities providing for the same.

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. Solarmax may place orders for Li-Max Energy Equipment by any customary means agreed-to by the parties, and agrees to provide all forms, materials and information which Li-Max reasonably requires for such orders. Upon receipt of an order, Li-Max shall commence to promptly Fulfill the order in conformance with the terms of Section 4.4, below. 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 3080 Twelfth Street 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.

5.3 Other Termination.

Any waiver of any term of this Agreement in a particular instance shall not be a waiver of such term for the future.

7.5 Attorney Fees.
