Provided that a party may change its notice details on giving notice to the other parties of
the change in accordance with this Section 19 that notice shall only be effective on the date falling five Business Days after the notification has been received or such later date as may be specified in the notice.



|20 | Costs
|-- | -----

Each party to this
Agreement will bear its own costs (including the fees, costs and expenses of its advisors) relating to the preparation, negotiation and implementation of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein.

|---- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|21.2 | Any provision of this Agreement (including this Section 21.2) may be amended or waived only if such amendment or waiver is made in writing, unless a
stricter form is required by mandatory law.
|---- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|21.3 | Nothing in this Agreement will be construed as the formation of a partnership under secs. 705 et seqq. BGB (Gesellschaft bürgerlichen Rechts) or
other form of partnership as between Sunways, LDK Germany Holding and/or LDK Solar.
|---- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|21.4 | The headings in this Agreement are merely for convenience. They will be disregarded for the purposes of interpreting this Agreement. The annexes to this
Agreement form an integral part of this Agreement.
|---- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|21.5 | In this Agreement (including the Preamble), unless the context otherwise requires, where a German term has been added in brackets after an English term, the
German term will be decisive for the purpose of interpretation of the English term whenever such English term is used in this Agreement.
|---- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|21.6 | Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, this Agreement will not grant any rights to third parties and will not constitute a contract for

legality, validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement. The illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision shall be deemed to be substituted by a suitable and equitable provision which, to the extent legally permissible, comes as
close as possible to the intent and purpose of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision. The same shall apply in case of an amendment due to a failure of addressing a certain matter in this Agreement (Auffüllung einer
Vertragslücke). It is the express intent of the parties to this Agreement that this Section 21.7 shall be construed as an exclusion of sec. 139 BGB in its entirety and not just as a reversal of the burden of proof
(Beweislastumkehr).

Annex 7.2 to the Investment Agreement

Representations and Warranties of Sunways



|1. | Sunways hereby represents and warrants by way of an independent guarantee (selbstständiges Garantieversprechen) pursuant to sec. 311 (1) BGB that the
following statements are true and correct (zutreffend)and not misleading, in each case as of the Signing Date, whereby it is understood that the representations shall not constitute a warranty of condition (Beschaffenheitsgarantie)
within the meaning of sec. 444 BGB:
|-- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 1.1. | Sunways has been duly established and is validly existing as a stock corporation under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. The articles of association of
Sunways attached to this Annex as Exhibit 1.1represent the complete and current version of the articles of association of Sunways. No shareholder resolutions have been passed which could affect the current existence of Sunways; this
includes, in particular, but without limitation, resolutions pursuant to the German Law on the Transformation of Companies (Umwandlungsgesetz) or resolutions on the liquidation of Sunways.
| | ---- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 1.2. | No insolvency or similar proceedings have been, or have been threatened to be, opened over the assets of Sunways, and there are no circumstances that would require or
justify the opening or application for such proceedings. Sunways is neither illiquid (zahlungsunfähig) nor over-indebted (überschuldet). However, according to existing contractual conditions the financing banks of Sunways may
use their special right of cancellation of current financing due to a new majority shareholder acquiring a major stake of 20% or more of the share capital of Sunways. In this case, the short-term necessity of additional working capital financing may
occur to avoid illiquidity or over-indebtedness.
| | ---- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 1.3. | The New Sunways Shares will be validly issued in compliance with applicable law, free of any third party rights (including, without limitation, pre-emptive rights,
rights of first refusal, subscription rights, option rights, conversion rights, or similar rights as well as pledges or other encumbrances) and any transfer restrictions (Verfügungsbeschränkungen), unless provided for in this
Agreement.
| | ---- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 1.4. | The New Sunways Shares will be no-par value shares (Stückaktien) attributed with the same rights as the other shares in the Company; except for the issue
price (Ausgabebetrag) and any potential additional payments mandatorily required under the applicable law, there are no further payment or ancillary obligations or encumbrances with respect to the New Sunways Shares.
| | ---- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 1.5. | To the extent legally permitted by German law, and to the best knowledge of Sunways, Sunways represents and warrants that the existing share capital of Sunways has been
issued in compliance with the applicable German laws and regulations.
