2.1 During the term of this Agreement, both Parties agree to:

(a) Work collaboratively in communicating with standards organizations (UL, NEC) and local permitting jurisdictions to explain the safety and reliability benefits of AC solar modules with integrated racking, wiring and grounding; and

(b) Work independently and collaboratively to [***], as needed, their [***] to become compatible for an optimum Combined Product.

2.2 The cooperative efforts of each of the Parties described in this Section 2 are a material element of this Agreement.

SECTION 3.0  - Purchase and Supply

3.1 Enphase agrees to supply, and Akeena agrees to purchase (or to have Authorized Purchasers purchase) the Enphase Products described in Attachment 2 in the manner described in Attachment 2.  All Purchase Orders, whether placed by Akeena or other Authorized Purchasers, will be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the terms set forth in Attachments 2-6.
 
3.2 Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, nothing in this Agreement, in any Akeena forecast, or in any prior discussions or agreements between the Parties will give rise to an obligation to place any Purchase Orders.

SECTION 4.0  – Exclusivity

4.1 During the term of this Agreement, Enphase will not enter into an OEM, Supply & Purchase, or other type of written agreement with any customer or OEM for purchase of any Enphase Product, if such customer or OEM (a) makes or sells a product and Akeena has obtained an injunction from a judicial authority under Akeena’ patent rights which prohibits such customer or OEM from making, using or selling such product, and (b) to the knowledge of Enphase, intends to use an Enphase Product in combination with such enjoined product.  For the avoidance of doubt, Enphase may sell Enphase Products to such customer or OEM for use with products other than such enjoined product.

5.2 If Akeena requests that Enphase Products are shipped to Akeena’s manufacturing facility in China, and Enphase Products are shipped from Enphase’s facility in the U.S. to Akeena’s manufacturing facility in China, any [***] for such Purchase Orders placed by Akeena will be [***] Enphase.  Risk of loss and title will pass from Enphase to Akeena when such Enphase Products are delivered to the carrier at Enphase’s U.S. facility.  The delivery terms will remain EXW Enphase’s facility in the U.S.; Enphase will determine the shipping method in such event.  The determination of origin of shipment by Enphase (whether from Enphase’s facility in the U.S. or from Enphase’s facility in China) is within the sole discretion of Enphase.  In the event that Enphase intends to change the origin of shipment for a given Purchase Order from Enphase’s China facility to Enphase’s U.S. facility, Enphase shall provide at least thirty (30) days written notice prior to shipment to Akeena of such change, and in such event if Akeena wishes to change the shipment destination from China to the U.S., Akeena may do so by written notice to Enphase within five (5) days after Akeena’s receipt of such notice from Enphase.
 
5.3 [***] Products listed in Attachment 2 may be made (whether on [***] or otherwise) without the [***] in writing.

In addition to the other terms in this Agreement, the following terms apply to all Purchase Orders:

Basis of Purchase Order

(a)    Each Purchase Order constitutes an offer by Akeena or other Authorized Purchasers to purchase the Enphase Products subject to the terms of this Agreement (“Terms’).  Akeena or other Authorized Purchasers will issue a Purchase Order or place a Purchase Order by other electronic means.  Each such Purchase Order shall include a description of the Enphase Product, Akeena’s Enphase Product number, quantity ordered, and price.  All Purchase Orders are subject to Enphase’s acceptance.  Enphase may allocate Enphase Products sold among its customers, in its sole discretion.  Purchase Orders issued and accepted are non cancellable and non recoverable within 60 days of the Delivery Date.

(b)    These Terms shall apply to any Purchase Order to the exclusion of any other terms on which any quotation has been given to Akeena or other Authorized Purchaser or subject to which a Purchase Order is accepted or purported to be accepted by Enphase.

(c)    The Purchase Order will lapse unless unconditionally accepted by Enphase in writing within seven (7) business days of its date of receipt by Enphase.  Acceptance of the Purchase Order may be made by signing and returning the attached acknowledgement copy hereof, by other express acceptance, or by shipment of the Enphase Products hereunder.  If Enphase uses it own order acknowledgement or other form to accept the Purchase Order, it is understood that said form shall be used for convenience only and any terms or conditions contained therein inconsistent with or in addition to those contained herein shall be of no force or effect whatsoever between the Parties hereto.

(d)    No variation to the Purchase Order or these Terms shall be binding unless agreed in writing between the authorized representatives of Akeena and Enphase.

Akeena and other Authorized Purchasers may cancel a Purchase Order in respect of all or part of the Enphase Products by giving written notice to Enphase at least sixty (60) days prior to the Delivery Date.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, orders for special, custom and other non-standard Enphase Products and product configurations shall be non-cancelable and non-returnable, except as provided in the Warranty section above, in which event Akeena's sole liability shall be to pay to Enphase the Price for the Enphase Products in respect of which Akeena has exercised its right of cancellation, [***]of [***] from cancellation.  Enphase shall be required to provide appropriate documentation of Enphase’s [***] (if any), if requested by Akeena in writing.  Upon Akeena’s written request, Enphase will provide Akeena a report showing [***] from[***], so that Akeena can make an informed decision regarding cancellations.

Delivery and Acceptance

(a)    The Enphase Products shall be delivered to the carrier designated by Akeena on the Delivery Date or within the period stated in the Purchase Order.

(b)    Where the Delivery Date of the Enphase Products is to be specified after the placing of the Purchase Order, Akeena shall give Enphase reasonable advance notice of the specified Delivery Date.

(c)    Packing slips must accompany each case, parcel or container of Enphase Products delivered hereunder, showing Akeena's order number, item number, and a complete description of its contents.

(d)    If the Enphase Products are to be delivered by installments, the Purchase Order will be treated as a single contract and not severable.

(e)    Akeena may reject any Enphase Products delivered which are not in accordance with the Purchase Order, and shall not be deemed to have accepted any Enphase Products until Akeena has had a reasonable time or Five (5) business days to inspect them following delivery or, if later, within a reasonable time after any latent defect in the Enphase Products has become apparent.

(f)    Enphase shall supply Akeena in good time with any instructions or other information required to enable Akeena to accept delivery of the Enphase Products.

Attachment 5
Payments Terms


Payment Terms

All payments will be invoiced and stated (and payments made) in United States dollars.  Payment by Akeena shall be net thirty (30) days, except in the case of orders shipped EXW from Enphase’s China Manufacturing facility to a destination in the U.S., and then payment by Akeena for that invoice shall be[***].  Akeena will pay the entire amount of each undisputed invoice (or if only a portion of an invoice is disputed, Akeena will pay the undisputed portion thereof) without any offset or deduction.  If Enphase reasonably believes that Akeena’s ability to make payments under this Agreement are likely to be impaired, or if Akeena fails to pay any undisputed invoice or undisputed portion thereof within the time periods recited in this Attachment 5, Enphase may, at its sole discretion, request reasonable financial assurance of Akeena’s ability to perform under this Agreement (including ability to pay invoiced amounts).  If such reasonable financial assurance is not provided, and Akeena does not cure all such delinquent payments within thirty (30) days (“Cure Period”), to Enphase’s satisfaction, then subject to prior written notice to Akeena, Enphase may suspend future deliveries of Enphase Products until all outstanding payments are made by Akeena, and/or Enphase may cancel any unfulfilled Purchase Order, and Akeena shall remain liable for any unpaid fulfilled Purchase Order.  Enphase may, if it continues to accept Purchase Orders from Akeena thereafter, in its sole discretion, require Akeena to pre-pay in cash before shipment of Enphase Products to Akeena, or may require Akeena to provide security in a form acceptable to Enphase.  Payments received from Akeena shall be applied against any payments due to Enphase.  The acceptance of Akeena’s payment shall in no circumstances constitute a waiver of Enphase’s right to pursue the collection of any remaining balance of payments owed by Akeena to Enphase.  Akeena shall pay interest on any invoice not paid when due from the due date to the date of payment of the full invoiced amount, such interest to be equal to the lesser of (a) the rate of one and one half percent per month, and (b) the maximum rate allowed by law.  If Akeena fails to make any payment when due, then in addition to the remedies set forth in this Attachment 5, Enphase reserves the right to pursue any remedies available to it under the law and in equity.
