 - “SHAREHOLDER” - 
 - The SHAREHOLDER, ASOLA and
QUANTUM are hereinafter also referred to jointly as the “Parties.” 
 Preliminary comments 
 The SHAREHOLDER holds three shares in ASOLA with a nominal values of EUR 25,000.00 (in words: twenty-five thousand Euro) (“Share A”), EUR 250.00 (in
words: two hundred fifty Euro) (“Share B”) and EUR 12,250.00 (in words: twelve thousand two hundred fifty Euro) (“Share C”) (Shares A, B and C are hereinafter referred to jointly as “existing
shares”). 
  

 - 3 - 

 The listed capital of ASOLA is thus EUR 37,500.00 (in words: thirty-seven thousand five hundred Euro). 
 ASOLA is active in the development, manufacture and marketing of solar equipment. 
 QUANTUM, ASOLA and the SHAREHOLDER agree that ASOLA and the SHAREHOLDER will assist QUANTUM with its solar project in the U.S. by means of consultation and support with respect to the construction of a production facility in California with
annual peak capacity of at least 30 MWp (“U.S. Solar Project”), including specification of the necessary and appropriate outfitting, along with operational startup, as well as the furnishing of module technology, training and marketing.

 As counter-performance for the consulting on the U.S. Solar Project by ASOLA and the SHAREHOLDER, the SHAREHOLDER shall receive an equity interest in the
U.S. Solar Project in the amount of 15%, which QUANTUM hereby irrevocably promises to transfer. Additional details are to be negotiated at an appropriate time, which shall be set jointly by the parties, but not later than December 2008. 

ASOLA and the SHAREHOLDER further intend to increase ASOLA’s production output at its production location in Erfurt, Germany, during 2008 from the current level
of 10 MWp to at least 30 MWp. QUANTUM will support this by means of an investment of EUR 1,200,000.00 (“additional investment”) on or before March 31, 2008. However, QUANTUM’s duty to make such additional investment shall
be dependent upon, and subject to the condition precedent of, ASOLA having secured additional investments, financing and/or state support in the anticipated amount of EUR 3,000,000.00 to 5,000,000.00 (the “Co-Investments”)
(depending on needs) that are necessary in order to increase ASOLA’s production capacity to at least 30 MWp. QUANTUM’s ownership share in ASOLA must total 24.9% following this expansion. 
 Following completion of its audit of ASOLA, QUANTUM is willing to acquire a share in ASOLA in the nominal amount of EUR 9,350.00 (in words: nine thousand three hundred
fifty Euro) (“QUANTUM Share” or “Share D”) from the SHAREHOLDER, which is willing to divide Share A with a nominal value of EUR 25,000.00 into two new shares with nominal value of EUR 9,350.00 and EUR 15,650.00
(“Share A1”), such that QUANTUM receives an equity interest of 24.9% of the capital stock and voting rights in ASOLA.

 In light of the mutual promises set forth herein, the parties to this contract agree as follows: 
 § 1

 The condition precedent set forth in paragraph 1.1 shall be deemed to be indisputably fulfilled by QUANTUM upon receipt of payment confirmation (as defined in paragraph 2.3, below). 
  

	(2)	The sale and transfer of Share D shall include all ancillary rights and obligations associated therewith. The rights to profits associated with Share D earned after 1/1/2008 shall

	(3)	By shareholder resolution dated January 4, 2008, the SHAREHOLDER granted its consent to the division of Share A into Share A1 and Share D, as well as to the sale and transfer
of Share D as set forth in this agreement, in accordance with the provisions of § 11 paragraph 1 of the corporation’s articles of incorporation, which are attached as Appendix 1.3.

	(4)	Four to six (4-6) months after the conclusion of this transaction, QUANTUM shall provide ASOLA’s bank with a bank suretyship of EUR 1,000,000.00 (in words: one million Euro),
which shall be used exclusively for ASOLA’s credit line at ASOLA’s bank for the need-dependent procurement of additional operating resources. ASOLA shall not owe any compensation for the furnishing of the suretyship. Subject to contrary

 § 3

taxes.

 § 7 
 Additional agreements 
  

	(1)	Additional investment in ASOLA by QUANTUM 

  

	 	(i)	Subject to the provisions of this § 7, QUANTUM promises to make an additional investment in ASOLA as additional paid-in capital in the amount of EUR 1,200,000.00 on or before
March 31, 2008. 

  

 - 18 - 

	 	(ii)	QUANTUM’s obligation to make such additional investment is dependent upon ASOLA submitting written documentation to QUANTUM’s satisfaction, according to which ASOLA has
secured a co-investment in the range of EUR 3,000,000.00 to 5,000,000.00, depending on needs, prior to March 31, 2008. If such written documentation has not been presented to QUANTUM prior to March 31, 2008, QUANTUM’s obligation to
make the additional investment shall be delayed until the point in time at which ASOLA is able to provide such documentation. 

  

	 	(iii)	If, after QUANTUM has made its additional investment, ASOLA has only received a fraction of the co-investment of EUR 3,000,000.00 to 5,000,000.00, ASOLA shall immediately pay an
appropriate portion of the additional investment back to QUANTUM. For example, ASOLA would be obligated to pay a sum of EUR 400,000.00 back to QUANTUM if ASOLA were only able to secure EUR 2,000,000.00 of the necessary co-investment of EUR
3,000,000.00 to 5,000,000.00, after QUANTUM had paid the full sum of EUR 1,200,000.00.
