2.2 Reimbursement and Cancelation Fees.


 


(a) For each Incomplete Contract for which Final Completion is achieved, Real Goods shall pay Akeena a one time reimbursement fee equal to $[***] per guaranteed watt of capacity installed under such completed Incomplete Contract (a “Completion Reimbursement Fee”).  Such amounts are due on a per Contract basis net 30 days after the Final Completion date of the underlying project or, if Akeena products are used on the project, then net 30 days after Real Goods’ receipt of the invoice for such products.


 


(b) If any Incomplete Contracts are cancelled or otherwise terminated prior to Final Completion, Real Goods shall not be obligated to pay any Completion Reimbursement Fee to Akeena.  In the event Real Goods previously paid a Completion Reimbursement Fee and despite Real Goods’ commercially reasonable efforts to proceed with the project, an Incomplete Contract is cancelled or otherwise terminated, Akeena hereby agrees to pay Real Goods a contract termination fee equal to $[***] per guaranteed watt of capacity which was to be installed under such cancelled or terminated Incomplete Contract (a “Contract Cancelation Fee”).  Akeena shall either pay such Contract Cancelation Fee to Real Goods net 30 days following receipt of written notice from Real Goods that an Incomplete Contract has been cancelled or credit the amount of such Contract Cancelation Fee against other future Completion Reimbursement Fees owed by Real Goods to Akeena hereunder.  If Real Goods has taken delivery of any Akeena products with respect to an Incomplete Contract which is or has been cancelled, Real Goods shall have the right to return that product to Akeena at no cost and without imposition of a restocking fee.


 


2.3 ASP of Incomplete Contracts.


 


(a) Akeena hereby guarantees that the ASP for the ASP Contracts shall be no less than $[***] per guaranteed watt of capacity installed, net of all discounts Akeena offered to the SunRun customer or SunRun itself (“Target ASP”).


 


(b) In the event that the Parties’ determine that the ASP for the ASP Contracts is less than the Target ASP, Akeena agrees to pay Real Goods pursuant to Section 2.3(c) an amount equal to the amount determined by multiplying (i) the number of guaranteed watts of capacity installed under the ASP Contracts by (ii) the difference between (A) the Target ASP and (B) the actual ASP for the ASP Contracts (the “ASP Deficiency Payment”).


 


(c) An initial ASP Deficiency Payment, if any, shall be due and payable within 30 days after the date upon which at least 50% of the ASP Contracts have achieved Final Completion, which payment shall be calculated based upon the ASP Contracts completed as of such date.  A second ASP Deficiency Payment from Akeena, if due, shall be payable within 30 days after 100% of the ASP Contracts have achieved Final Completion.  The second ASP Deficiency Payment, if any, shall be calculated based upon all of the ASP Contracts.  However, it shall be reduced by the amount of the initial ASP Deficiency Payment.


 


2.4 CSI Rebates. To the extent that the CSI Rebates quoted in the Incomplete Contracts are, in the aggregate, larger than the CSI Rebates that are actually paid under the California Solar Initiative for all Incomplete Contracts (excluding any cancelled contracts), Akeena will be liable to Real Goods for the difference, provided that any such liability of Akeena shall be reduced by the amount Akeena refunds to SunRun pursuant to Section 4(d) of the Master Assignment Agreement.  Akeena shall pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 2.4 within 30 days following Real Goods’ receipt of all CSI Rebates for the Incomplete Contracts and delivery to Akeena of an invoice for the amount due.

3. Warranty Obligations.


 


3.1 Warranty Services; Reimbursement for Ordinary-Course-of-Business Warranty Services.


 


(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of the Master Assignment Agreement, Real Goods shall be solely and entirely responsible for all warranty obligations with respect to the Assigned Pending Contracts. Additionally, subject to the terms and conditions of the Master Assignment Agreement, Real Goods has agreed to be the First Responder for all Ordinary-Course-of-Business Warranty Claims on Completed Solar Facilities and Construction Solar Facilities as such terms are defined in the Master Assignment Agreement.


 


(b) Akeena hereby agrees to reimburse Real Goods for all services performed with respect to such Ordinary-Course-of-Business Warranty Claims pursuant to the terms hereof.  Akeena's reimbursement obligations for all Ordinary-Course-of-Business Warranty Claims will be calculated as follows: (a) labor costs will be invoiced at $[***] per hour for entire crew (regardless of crew size) responding plus one way travel time, and (b) material costs shall be invoiced at cost to Real Goods plus 10%.


 


(c)  Real Goods agrees that it will consult with Akeena prior to performing any Ordinary-Course-of-Business Warranty Claims where the reimbursement cost would exceed $[***] per claim, regarding a course of action for such service. In no event shall Akeena be responsible for reimbursing Real Goods for any work on Ordinary-Course-of-Business Warranty Claims wherein the cost of the claim exceeds $[***] and Akeena’s written consent was not first obtained.  If Akeena and Real Goods cannot reach an agreement with respect to course of action for an Ordinary-Course-of-Business Warranty Claim within fifteen (15) days of the warranty claim receipt, the obligation of Real Goods to provide service with respect to such claim shall automatically expire and Akeena shall assume the responsibility to perform such warranty service, provided that, Real Goods must make best efforts to ensure Akeena receives prompt notice of the claim and reasonable opportunity to respond. The parties will evaluate the $[***] limit for Ordinary-Course-of-Business Warranty Claims which requires such consultation every three months and negotiate in good faith a modified limit based on the cost of Ordinary-Course-of-Business Warranty Claims experienced.


 


(d) Reimbursement for Ordinary-Course-of-Business Warranty Claims will be due and payable by Akeena net 30 days after receipt of an invoice from Real Goods for such work.  As a condition precedent to Akeena paying Real Goods for any first responder warranty work, Real Goods shall submit with each application for payment of its warranty work a partial or final lien waiver and release of claims on behalf of itself and any of its subcontractors, vendors, or any other party providing equipment, services, materials or labor to the applicable project on Real Goods’ behalf.


 


3.2 Security for Ordinary-Course-of-Business Warranty Claims.


 


(a) The obligations of Real Goods to provide services with respect to Ordinary-Course-of-Business Warranty Claims as set forth under this Section 3 shall be conditioned upon and shall not become effective unless and until either (i) Akeena and Real Goods enter into the Collateral Agreement or (ii) a Escrow Deposit of $[***] is established for the benefit of Real Goods pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Master Assignment Agreement.


 


(b) The terms of the Collateral Agreement or Escrow Deposit shall include the following:


 


(i) as applicable, $[***] in escrowed cash or a $[***] bond, letter of credit, insurance policy or similar guarantee to Real Goods on terms reasonably acceptable to Real Goods.

(ii) The Collateral Agreement or Deposit Escrow will remain in effect for so long as Real Goods shall be obligated to perform Ordinary-Course-of-Business Warranty Claims.


 


(iii) The terms of the Collateral Agreement or Deposit Escrow will provide that Real Goods shall be allowed to immediately draw upon the bond, letter of credit, insurance policy or guarantee or escrow, as applicable, in the event that Akeena fails to reimburse Real Goods for any service on a Ordinary-Course-of-Business Warranty Claim within 30 days of delivery by Real Goods of an invoice therefor.


 


(iv) On each anniversary of the date hereof, if Real Goods has not drawn against the bond, letter of credit, insurance policy, guarantee, or escrow as applicable, during the preceding twelve months, the amount of the security will be reduced by $[***].


 


4. Leads.  For a period of 120 days after the Effective Date, Akeena will provide, to the extent possible, Real Goods with a minimum of five leads for potential solar power system customers per each executed contract that Real Goods enters for the sale of an Akeena solar power system while acting as an authorized Akeena solar power system dealer.
