Section 7 (a) (THE STEERING COMMITTEE) below), reasonable monthly Contact Update
Reports outlining when contacts are underway and what potential opportunities
may exist to allow for common action and resource planning in relation to the
BLINK Network Products.

      

      b.           For
all countries/regions other than NAM, the STECO will evaluate whether or not a
joint sales and marketing collaboration between the appropriate Affiliates of
each Party is to be implemented for BLINK Network Products in the Agreements of
each such country/region.

      TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE SUPPLIER COLLABORATION IN THE NORTH AMERICAN
      MARKET

              

      

      

      a.           Under
both the Framework Agreement and the Agreement for NAM, the United States,
Canada, and Mexico shall constitute NAM.

      

      b.           The
Parties intend that the specific Agreement for NAM shall be developed by the
appropriate Affiliate(s) of ABB and ECOtality and its Affiliates using this
Framework Agreement as a guide, and shall be executed concurrently with the
Framework Agreement, on the Effective Date.

      

      c.           Subject
to the other terms, conditions and limitations of this Framework Agreement,
under the Agreement for NAM, ECOtality and its Affiliates, to the greatest
extent possible, but without violation of any Federal, State or local
procurement regulations or other applicable laws, rules or regulations, shall
purchase or specify to others to purchase on their behalf ABB Products for all
Battery Charging Solutions where applicable, unless ECOtality or its Affiliates
can reasonably demonstrate that the ABB Products do not meet the necessary
design and performance specifications, quantity requirements, quality
requirements and/or delivery schedule requirements of ECOtality and its
Affiliates (the “ECOtality
Requirements”).  Additionally, for each ABB Product ordered by
ECOtality or its Affiliates from ABB, whether it is an ABB Component, ABB
Assembly, ABB Charging Unit or ABB System, IF the
pricing by ABB or its Affiliates (including delivery and taxes) is five percent
(5%) or more than the pricing, including delivery and taxes, that ECOtality or
its Affiliates either has negotiated with, or can reasonably demonstrate would
be available to ECOtality and its Affiliates from, a third party not affiliated
with the ABB Group for an offering materially and technically equivalent to the
ABB Product in question, ECOtality and/or its Affiliates shall have no
obligation to purchase any such ABB Product from the ABB Group, although
ECOtality and its Affiliates may purchase any such ABB Product, if they so
desire.

      d.           In
NAM, the ABB Group will have the unrestricted right, subject to the other terms,
conditions and limitations imposed by the agreement for NAM, to sell to NAM
customers (“NAM
Customers”) ABB Components, ABB Assemblies and ABB Charging Units which
do not incorporate any BLINK Network Products or any of ECOtality’s Proprietary
Technology.  For the avoidance of doubt, this right of the ABB Group
does not extend to ABB Systems (whether or not they incorporate any BLINK
Network Products or any of ECOtality’s Proprietary Technology), and the term NAM
Customers shall mean parties not affiliated with ECOtality or its Affiliates who
are located (or have offices or facilities) in NAM and parties not affiliated
with ECOtality or its Affiliates without offices or facilities in NAM who the
ABB Group parties to the Agreement for NAM reasonably know incorporate or intend
to incorporate any of ABB Products sold to them into their products marketed in
NAM.

      

      e.           In
NAM, so long as there is no uncorrected material default by ECOtality under the
Agreement for NAM (which is expressly understood, to include, but is not limited
to, any violation of Section 4(c) (SPECIFIC TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE SUPPLIER
RELATIONSHIP IN THE NORTH AMERICAN MARKET) above), the ABB Group will not
design, produce, market, or sell any ABB System which competes with the network
system capabilities of any BLINK Network Products.

      

      f.      
     In NAM, ECOtality and its Affiliates will have the
exclusive right to sell BLINK Network Products for the Specific Applications, at
any charging level.  However, BLINK Network Products that use two (2)
or more ABB Products will be co-branded with the ABB Group, in a manner agreed
upon by the STECO and documented in the Agreement for NAM.  For the
avoidance of doubt, ECOtality and its Affiliates have the non-exclusive right to
sell ABB Assemblies and ABB Charging Units for other Battery Charging Solution
applications besides the Specific Applications in NAM.

      

      g.           In
the Agreement for NAM, ECOtality shall ensure that the ABB Group has a right of
first refusal to supply, on the same terms as provided in this Framework
Agreement, current and future ABB Products for all current and future Battery
Charging Solutions products and offerings developed by ECOtality and its
Affiliates.

      

      h.           The
commercial terms for any sale of ABB Products to ECOtality and its Affiliates
under the Agreement for NAM shall be generally consistent with the relevant ABB
Group’s general terms and conditions for sale for the associated ABB
Product.  For example, the “ABB Inc. ‘General Terms and
Conditions of Sale’,” attached below as Exhibit A (GENERAL TERMS AND
CONDITIONS OF SALE), shall apply to ABB Products, to the extent those terms and
conditions are not inconsistent with specific provisions of the Agreement for
NAM.

      The
following shall apply to each Agreement, to the greatest extent legally
permissible.

      a.           No
Affiliate of the ABB Group shall be required to accept any order for any ABB
Product under any Agreement, if, in the reasonable opinion of the Affiliate
of the ABB Group, it would be unable to meet the ECOtality
Requirements.  If the ABB Group is unable to meet the ECOtality
Requirements for any of the ABB Products, ECOtality shall notify the STECO of
such inability in writing.  Thereafter, ECOtality and its Affiliates
shall be under no obligation to purchase the non-conforming ABB Product under
the associated Agreement; provided that in the event that, thereafter, ABB
notifies the STECO, in writing, of the ABB Group’s ability to fulfill the
associated ECOtality Requirements for the ABB Product, then unless ECOtality
reasonably determines that the ABB Product does not fulfill the associated
ECOtality Requirements, ECOtality shall again have the obligation to purchase
the ABB Product, subject in any event, however, to any alternative supply
arrangements that ECOtality may have entered into with respect to the
non-conforming ABB Product until the end of the term of such alternative supply
arrangements.

      

      b.           For
the avoidance of doubt, ECOtality and its Affiliates shall have the right to
make all sourcing decisions for components or other items in a Battery Charging
Solution that are not ABB Products.

      

      c. 
          If the STECO
unanimously agrees to implement the Supplier Relationship in a country/region,
then the Agreement for NAM shall be used as basis for any such Agreement, but
only to the extent:

      

      i)          
  Legally-permissible for that country/region;

      

      ii)       
    Unanimously permitted by the STECO; and

      

      iii)           Consistent
with this Framework Agreement.

      

      d.           Each
Agreement shall have a five (5) year term wherever legally
permissible.

      

      e.           All
extensions of any Agreement shall be via a written, mutually-executed amendment
to the Agreement.

      

      f.   
        To the extent applicable to ABB
Products, the ABB Group shall have the first right of refusal to participate in
ECOtality's MicroClimate initiatives in each country/region.

      

      g.           Globally,
and in each country/region where there is an Agreement, the appropriate
Affiliates of ABB and ECOtality shall collaborate on relevant industry standards
committees and working groups related to Battery Charging Solutions utilizing
ABB Products.

      

      h.           In
each Agreement, the STECO’s decisions will govern the joint sales and marketing
collaboration of the parties to each such Agreement.

      a.           For
the China Market (the “China
Market”):

      

      i)           
ECOtality agrees that, except to the extent provided in the Master Overhead
Joint Venture Agreement dated September 15, 2009, between ECOtality and
Shenzen Goch Investment Ltd., as amended, neither it nor any of its Affiliates
shall form any strategic supplier relationship with respect to the China Market
with any entity that is not an Affiliate of the ABB Group for six (6) months
from the Effective Date (the “China Market
Period”).

      

      ii)           The
Agreement for the China Market shall be developed by the STECO using
commercially-reasonable, good faith efforts, this Framework Agreement, and the
Agreement for NAM (as is appropriate).

      

      iii)           If
the Agreement for the China Market is not mutually acceptable to, and executed
by the appropriate affiliates of, each of the Parties before the end of the
China Market Period, thereafter, the Parties and their affiliates will have no
obligation to implement the Supplier Relationship in the China
Market.

      

      b.           For
All Other Countries/Regions:

      

      i)           
The Agreements for all other countries/regions, outside of NAM and the China
Market, shall be developed by the STECO in a timely manner, using
commercially-reasonable good faith efforts, this Framework Agreement, and the
Agreement for NAM (as is appropriate).

      

      ii)           In
any country/region for which there is no effective Agreement between the
appropriate Affiliates of the Parties:

      

      (a)           The
sale of any products marketed by ECOtality, including Battery Charging
Solutions, will not be governed by this Framework Agreement;

      

      (b)           ECOtality
and its Affiliates shall have no obligation to purchase any ABB
Products; and

      

      (c)           No
Affiliate of the ABB Group shall have any obligation to fulfill any purchase
orders for the ABB Products from ECOtality and its Affiliates.

                THE
      STEERING COMMITTEE

              

      

      

      a.           For
the Supplier Relationship, the Parties shall form a Steering Committee (the
“STECO”), on the
Effective Date to implement this Framework Agreement and advise the Parties and
their Affiliates on the Supplier Relationship.

      

      b.           The
rights, duties and procedures of the STECO, and of the Parties with respect to
the STECO, shall be documented in a mutually acceptable, executed, written
memorandum of understanding (the “STECO MOU”).

      

      c.           The
STECO shall be comprised of three (3) representatives from each Party and/or its
affiliates, with each representative entitled to one (1) vote on all matters
requiring action by the STECO.  Unless otherwise stated in this
Framework Agreement, actions of the STECO shall be approved by a simple majority
vote.

      

      d.           Generally,
the STECO will provide guidance to the Parties and their Affiliates on how to
implement the Supplier Relationship in each country/region where the Parties are
currently doing business or intend to do business, and resolve concerns about
the Supplier Relationship raised by either Party or any of its
Affiliates.

      

      e.           For
each specific country/region, the STECO will commence formal consideration of a
Supplier Relationship strategy for each such specific country/region upon the
request of either Party.  If the STECO does not reach unanimous
agreement on the strategy for a country/region and on the form of the Agreement
for that country/region within six (6) months of the commencement of the STECO’s
formal consideration of the country/region, thereafter neither ABB and its
Affiliates nor ECOtality and its Affiliates have any obligation to form a
Supplier Relationship for that country/region.

      

      f.    
       The STECO shall meet at least every
quarter.

      

      g.           The
STECO shall review pricing and supply arrangements on a quarterly basis for the
Agreement for NAM.

      

      h.           At
each quarterly meeting of the STECO, the STECO shall consider whether the scope
of the Agreement for NAM should be expanded, based upon the STECO’s expectations
for Battery Charging Solutions and ABB Products in NAM.  If the STECO
unanimously determines that the scope of the Agreement for NAM should be
expanded, the NAM Agreement shall be promptly amended by the appropriate
parties.

      

      i.         
  The STECO shall terminate at the end of the Framework
Agreement.

                OTHER
      CONCERNS

              

      

      

      a.           Neither
Party is aware of any customer or business partner relationships which would
prohibit it from entering into this Framework Agreement or prevent it from
executing any Agreement.

      

      b.           To
the extent that legal requirements, including, but not limited to laws with
respect to restraints on competition, prevent either Party and their Affiliates
from incorporating the provisions of this Framework Agreement into any
Agreement, the Parties and their Affiliates shall fully comply with any such
legal requirements in drafting the Agreement.

      

      c.           To
the extent that this Framework Agreement or any Agreement violates any existing
or future legal requirement, the nonperformance by the affected Party or its
Affiliates is fully excused and this Framework Agreement and/or the Agreement
(as may be applicable) shall be promptly amended by the appropriate entities to
address the violation.  If no mutually satisfactory, commercially
reasonable amendment can be made to this Framework Agreement or the Agreements
(as may be applicable), the Supplier Relationship in such country/region shall
be immediately terminated.

      

      d.           The
failure to exercise a right or delay in exercising a right or remedy provided in
this Framework Agreement or by law does not constitute a waiver of the right or
remedy or a waiver of other rights or remedies.  A waiver of a breach
of any of the terms of this Framework Agreement or of a default under this
Framework Agreement does not constitute a waiver of any other breach or default
and shall not affect the other terms of the Framework
Agreement.  Similarly, a waiver of a breach of any of the terms of
this Framework Agreement or of a default under this Framework Agreement will not
prevent a Party from subsequently requiring compliance with the waived
obligation.

      

      e.           The
Parties acknowledge that the Framework Agreement does not grant any intellectual
property rights to their respective intellectual property to the other
Party.

      

      f.          
The relationship of the Parties is that of independent parties dealing at arm’s
length and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed so as to constitute any
kind of partnership, joint ventures, or agency.  Accordingly, neither
Party nor their Affiliates is authorized to represent the other, except as
expressly stated in the Framework Agreement.

      ABB/ECOtality
“Collaboration and Strategic Supplier Relationship Framework for NAM”
Agreement

      January

VERSION

    This
Collaboration and Strategic Supplier Relationship Agreement for NAM (this or the
“NAM Agreement”) is
entered into as of January 10, 2011 (the “Effective Date”), by and
between ABB Inc. (“ABB”) and ECOtality, Inc.
(“ECOtality”), with ABB
and ECOtality each a “Party,” and collectively the
“Parties.”  Under
this NAM Agreement, the Parties mutually agree as follows.

    

    1.           OVERVIEW

    

    a.           Concurrent
with the execution of this NAM Agreement, ABB Inc. and ECOtality Inc. have also
executed the Framework Agreement (i.e. the January 10, 2011
“Collaboration and Strategic Supplier Relationship Framework Agreement”) which
established the general terms of a collaboration and strategic supplier
relationship between the ABB Group and ECOtality and its Affiliates (a copy of
which is attached as Exhibit A (THE FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT).

      

    b.           Under
the Framework Agreement, the Supplier Relationship is to be implemented on a
region/country specific basis, but subject to the oversight of the STECO and the
Framework Agreement (as it may be amended from time-to-time).

    

    c.           For
NAM, the Supplier Relationship shall be governed exclusively by this NAM
Agreement.

    

    d.           Capitalized
terms not expressly defined in this NAM Agreement shall have the meaning
assigned to them in the Framework Agreement.

    

    e.           Each
Party is responsible for ensuring that its Affiliates are aware of the NAM
Agreement and act in accordance with its terms, to the extent legally
permissible.

    

    f.           To
the extent that there is a concern on how the NAM is to be implemented and/or
interpreted, and the concern is not addressed in this NAM Agreement, the Parties
agree that the STECO and the Framework Agreement shall be utilized by the
Parties in determining the final disposition of any such concern.

    

    2.           BATTERY
CHARGING SOLUTIONS COLLABORATION IN NAM

    

    a.           In
NAM, as part of the Supplier Relationship, the ABB NAM Parties shall collaborate
with ECOtality and its Affiliates to further the development, expansion, and
acceptance of market-leading Battery Charging Solutions, with ABB, the ABB NAM
Parties, and ECOtality and its Affiliates collectively (the “BCS NAM
Parties”).  The BCS Collaboration for NAM shall:

    

    i)           Only
apply to Battery Charging Solutions that incorporate, use or rely on ECOtality’s
Proprietary Technology and/or that provide the networking functionality that
ECOtality and its Affiliates have designed and operate, associated with the
BLINK Network Functionality and BLINK Network Products; and

    

    ii)           Include:

    

    (a)           Support,
between the BCS NAM Parties, for well designed and competitive Battery Charging
Solutions; and

    

    (b)           Efforts
by the BCS NAM Parties to expand Battery Charging Solutions that use ABB
Products and also provide the BLINK Network Functionality.

    

    b.           As
part of the BCS Collaboration for NAM, the BCS NAM Parties shall use reasonable
business efforts and their respective sales channels for the BCS Collaboration
for NAM.  Specifically, so long as there is no uncorrected material
default by ECOtality under this NAM Agreement (which is expressly understood, to
include, but is not limited to, any violation of Section 3(b) (SPECIFIC TERMS
AND CONDITIONS OF THE SUPPLIER RELATIONSHIP IN THE NORTH AMERICAN MARKET)
below), the BCS NAM Parties shall market the BLINK Network Products in NAM as
follows.

    3.           SPECIFIC
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE SUPPLIER RELATIONSHIP IN NAM

    

    a.           To
the extent consistent with the Framework Agreement and the guidance of the
STECO, ECOtality and its Affiliates, to the greatest extent possible, but
without violation of any Federal, State or local procurement regulations or
other applicable laws, rules or regulations, shall purchase or specify to others
to purchase on their behalf ABB Products for all Battery Charging Solutions,
unless ECOtality or its Affiliates can reasonably demonstrate that the ABB
Products do not meet the ECOtality Requirements.

    

    b.           For
each ABB Product ordered by ECOtality or its Affiliates from the ABB Group,
whether it is an ABB Component, Assembly, ABB Charging Unit or ABB System,
IF
the pricing by the ABB Group (including delivery and taxes) is five percent (5%)
or more than the pricing, including delivery and taxes, that ECOtality or its
Affiliates either has negotiated with, or can reasonably demonstrate would be
available to ECOtality and its Affiliates from, a third party not affiliated
with the ABB Group for an offering materially and technically equivalent to the
ABB Product in question, ECOtality and/or its Affiliates shall have no
obligation to purchase any such ABB Product from the ABB Group, although
ECOtality and/or its Affiliates may purchase any such Product, if they so
desire.

    

    c           In
NAM, the ABB Group will have the unrestricted right, unless expressly stated to
the contrary in this NAM Agreement, to sell to NAM Customers all ABB Components,
ABB Assemblies and ABB Charging Units which do not incorporate any BLINK Network
Products or any of ECOtality’s Proprietary Technology.  This right of
the ABB Group, however, does not extend to ABB Systems (whether or not they
incorporate any BLINK Network Products or any of ECOtality’s Proprietary
Technology).

    d.           In
NAM, so long as there is no uncorrected material default by ECOtality of this
NAM Agreement (which is expressly understood, to include, but is not
limited to, any violation of Section 3(b) (SPECIFIC TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE
SUPPLIER RELATIONSHIP IN THE NORTH AMERICAN MARKET) above), the ABB Group will
not design, produce, market, or sell any ABB System which competes with the
network system capabilities of any BLINK Network Products.

    

    e.           In
NAM, ECOtality and its Affiliates will have the exclusive right to sell BLINK
Network Products for the Specific Applications, at any charging
level.  However, BLINK Network Products that use two (2) or more ABB
Products will be co-branded with the ABB Group in accordance with the decisions
of the STECO.  Notwithstanding the above, ECOtality and its Affiliates
have the non-exclusive right to sell ABB Assemblies and ABB Charging Units for
other Battery Charging Solution applications besides the Specific Applications
in NAM.

    

    f.           In
NAM, ECOtality shall ensure that the ABB Group has a right of first refusal to
supply current and future ABB Products for all current and future Battery
Charging Solutions products and offerings developed by ECOtality and its
Affiliates.

    

    g.           The
commercial terms for any sale of ABB Products to ECOtality and its Affiliates
under this NAM Agreement shall be generally consistent with the relevant ABB
Group’s general terms and conditions for sale for the associated
Product.  For example, the “ABB Inc. ‘General Terms and
Conditions of Sale’,” attached below as Exhibit B (GENERAL TERMS AND
CONDITIONS OF SALE), shall apply to ABB Products, to the extent those terms and
conditions are not inconsistent with specific provisions of this NAM
Agreement.

    

    4.           GENERAL
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE SUPPLIER RELATIONSHIP

    

    a.           In
relation to NAM, no Affiliate of the ABB Group shall be required to accept any
order for any ABB Product if, in the reasonable opinion of this Affiliated of
the ABB Group, it would be unable to meet of ECOtality
Requirements.  If the ABB Group is unable to meet the ECOtality
Requirements for any of the ABB Products, ECOtality shall notify the STECO of
such inability in writing.  Thereafter, ECOtality and its Affiliates
shall be under no obligation to purchase the non-conforming ABB Product under
this NAM Agreement; provided that in the event that, thereafter, ABB notifies
the STECO, in writing, of the ABB Group’s ability to fulfill the associated
ECOtality Requirements for the Product, then unless ECOtality reasonably
determines that the ABB Product does not fulfill the associated ECOtality
Requirements, ECOtality shall again have the obligation to purchase the Product,
subject in any event, however, to any alternative supply arrangements that
ECOtality may have entered into with respect to the non-conforming ABB Product
until the end of the term of such alternative supply
arrangements.

    b.           To
the extent applicable to ABB Products, the ABB Group shall have the first right
of refusal to participate in ECOtality's MicroClimate initiatives in
NAM.

    

    c.           The
STECO’s decisions will govern the joint sales and marketing collaboration of the
Parties in NAM, to the extent legally permissible.

    

    d.           The
STECO will provide guidance to the Parties and their Affiliates on the Supplier
Relationship in NAM.

    

    e.           If
the STECO unanimously determines that the NAM Agreement should be expanded,
based upon the STECO’s expectations for Battery Charging Solutions and ABB
Products in NAM, this NAM Agreement shall be promptly amended by the
Parties.

    

    f.           Disputes
between the Parties shall be referred to the STECO for resolution, by the
STECO’s unanimous decision.

    

    g.           The
Parties shall keep the STECO currently informed about their activities under
this NAM Agreement.

    

    5.           OTHER
CONCERNS

    

    a.           Neither
Party is aware of any customer or business partner relationships which would
prohibit it from entering into this NAM Agreement or prevent it from executing
any Agreement.

    

    b.           To
the extent that legal requirements, including, but not limited to, laws with
respect to restraints on competition, prevent the Parties from incorporating the
provisions of the Framework Agreement into this NAM Agreement or acting in
accordance with the provisions of the Framework Agreement or the advice of the
STECO, the Parties shall fully comply with any such legal requirements and alter
this NAM Agreement accordingly.

    

    c.           To
the extent that this NAM Agreement violates any existing or future legal
requirement, the nonperformance by the affected Party or its Affiliates is fully
excused and this NAM Agreement shall be promptly amended by the Parties to
address the violation.  If no mutually satisfactory, commercially
reasonable amendment can be made to this NAM Agreement, the Supplier
Relationship in NAM shall be immediately terminated.

    

    d.           The
failure to exercise a right or delay in exercising a right or remedy provided in
this NAM Agreement or by law does not constitute a waiver of the right or remedy
or a waiver of other rights or remedies.  A waiver of a breach of any
of the terms of this NAM Agreement or of a default under this NAM Agreement does
not constitute a waiver of any other breach or default and shall not affect the
other terms of this NAM Agreement.  Similarly, a waiver of a breach of
any of the terms of this NAM Agreement or of a default under this NAM Agreement
will not prevent a Party from subsequently requiring compliance with the waived
obligation.
