ZEV Credits Agreement

 Exhibit 10.32 
 Confidential Treatment Requested by Tesla Motors, Inc. 
 ZEV Credits Agreement 
 This ZEV Credits Agreement (“Agreement”) is made this 12th day of February
2009, between and [***], with its principal offices at [***] (“[***]”) and Tesla Motors, Inc., with its principal offices at 1050 Bing Street, San Carlos, California 94070 (“Tesla”) ([***] and Tesla are individually a
“Party” and together the “Parties”). 
 BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE 
  

	1.	Under California’s Low-Emission Vehicle Regulations (13 California Code of Regulations (CCR) § 1900 et seq.), and similar laws in other states,
vehicle manufacturers are required to ensure that a portion of the vehicles delivered for sale in that state during each model year are zero-emission vehicles (or “ZEV”s, as defined below). States that have adopted ZEV regulations pursuant
to section 177 of the Clean Air Act, including ZEV Credit regulations, include New York, Massachusetts, Vermont, Maine, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Oregon, New Mexico, Maryland, Arizona and District of Columbia; other states have
indicated that they plan to adopt such regulations in the near future. Any state that adopts ZEV Credit regulations prior to or during the term of this Agreement is referred to herein as a “ZEV State.” ZEV Credit regulations provide that a
manufacturer may use its own earned credits or acquire credits from another party. If acquired, credits must be transferred via a credit bank set up by the California Air Resources Board (“ARB”) or another prescribed mechanism established
by an equivalent regulatory agency in a ZEV State. 

  

	2.	[***] desires that Tesla, for agreed-upon consideration, transfer to [***] all ZEV Credits that Tesla may earn and receive for the delivery for sale and placement into
service of at least 650 Tesla ZEVs in California or a ZEV State during the period set forth below. Tesla likewise desires to transfer to [***] all such ZEV Credits. 

  

	3.	 For purposes of this Agreement, “ZEV” means a zero emission vehicle as defined by 13 CCR Section 1962.1 , Zero Emission Vehicle
Standards for 2009 and Subsequent Model Year Passenger Cars, Light-Duty Trucks, and Medium-Duty Vehicles; “ZEV Credit” means one regulatory-established credit, multiples of which may be issued for delivering for sale or placing in service
a ZEV in California1 or a ZEV State; and “Tesla
ZEV” means any model year 2009 vehicle produced by Tesla that is capable of earning a Type III ZEV Credit. 

  
  

	1	 See, 13 CCR Section 1962.1 (d)(5)(C) indicating that Type III ZEVs earn 4 credits and 13 CCR Section 196.1, (d)(5)(D)
indicating that a Multiplier for Certain ZEVs allows for a multiplier of 1.25 - for a total of 5 credits. Although the ARB ZEV Credit Transfer Form, Exhibit A to this Agreement, also measures credits by g/mi NMOG, the Parties are not using that
measure when describing ZEV Credits, or setting the price of a ZEV Credit, in this Agreement. 

  

	[***]	Information has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted
portions.

 AGREEMENT 
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of
which is hereby acknowledge, [***] and Tesla agree as follows: 
  

	I.	ZEV Credit Generation; Commitment to Sell and Buy ZEV Credits. 

  

	 	A.	Tesla will use reasonable commercial efforts to manufacture, deliver for sale, and place in service Tesla ZEVs in California and the ZEV States. Tesla estimates that it
may produce between five hundred (500) and six hundred fifty (650) Tesla ZEVs. 

  

	 	B.	Tesla agrees to offer to sell and transfer to [***] all ZEV Credits, including all associated rights and benefits, that Tesla earns from delivering for sale and/or
placing info service Tesla ZEVs in California or any ZEV State during the period from January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010, and [***] agrees to buy all ZEV Credits that Tesla may earn and receive associated with the delivery for sale and
placement into service of at least 650 Tesla ZEVs in California or a ZEV State during the period set forth below; such credits shall be bought/sold on the terms set forth in this Agreement. (The Parties agree that [***] does not owe any money for,
and is not required to purchase, credits granted by one ZEV state, other than California, for the delivery for sale and/or placement into service of a Tesla ZEV in another ZEV state.) 

 After [***] purchases all ZEV Credits that Tesla earns and received associated with the delivery for sale and placement into service of 650
Tesla ZEVs in California or a ZEV State, Tesla must continue to offer [***] the opportunity to purchase any further ZEV Credit earned by Tesla from delivering for sale and/or placing into service a Tesla ZEV in California or any ZEV State during the
period set forth above (the “Right of First Refusal”), and should [***] accept such offer, Tesla must sell and transfer such credits to [***]. In order to facilitate the Right of First Refusal, within one month of the complete execution of
this Agreement, Tesla shall begin providing [***] with a non-binding informal estimate updated monthly, of the number of Tesla ZEVs it believes it will deliver for sale and/or place into service in California or a ZEV State during the ensuing three
calendar months. Once [***] has been invoiced for all ZEV Credits associated with the delivery for sale and placement into service of 550 Tesla ZEVs and, for the first time, a subsequent rolling three month forecast indicates that Tesla is likely to
deliver for sale and place into service a cumulative total of 650 Tesla ZEVs in California or a ZEV State, the Parties shall undertake the following process: 
  

	 	(i)	First Quarterly Forecast. Tesla will give to [***] a forecast of the number of Tesla ZEVs that it expects to deliver for sale or place into service in the
calendar quarter immediately following the date in which it first forecast it will have sold and placed into service a cumulative total of 650 Tesla ZEVs in California or a ZEV State. 

  

	[***]	Information has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted
portions.

 Confidential Treatment Requested by Tesla Motors, Inc. 
  

	 	(ii)	[***] Decision. Within two weeks following receipt of the forecast referenced in subparagraph (i), [***] will indicate in writing whether it plans to
(a) purchase the ZEV Credits that Tesla may earn and receive associated with the delivery for sale and placement into service of Tesla ZEVs in California or a ZEV State during the forecast period; or (b) decline to purchase the ZEV Credits
that Tesla may earn and receive in the forecast period. 

  

	 	(iii)	Purchase Obligation Or Termination. In the event that [***] confirms its desire to purchase the ZEV Credits that Tesla may earn and receive during the forecast
period, then [***] will have an obligation to purchase such ZEV Credits. In the event that [***] declines to purchase the ZEV Credits, then this Agreement shall terminate, subject to the survival provisions in Section IV.A, below.

  

	 	(iv)	Second Quarterly Forecast and Process. The foregoing process will be repeated for the ZEV Credits that Tesla may earn and receive associated with the delivery
for sale and placement into service of Tesla ZEVs in California or a ZEV State during the calendar quarter following the period covered in the First Quarterly Forecast (subparagraph (i), above). Specifically, one month prior to the start of the
period to be covered by the Second Quarterly Forecast, Tesla will provide the Second Quarterly Forecast to [***], and [***] will indicate in writing within two weeks of receipt of the Second Quarterly Forecast whether it plans to (a) purchase
the ZEV Credits that Tesla may earn and receive associated with the delivery for sale and placement into service of Tesla ZEVs in California or a ZEV State during the forecast period; or (b) decline to purchase the ZEV Credits that Tesla may
earn and receive in the forecast period. In the event that [***] confirms its desire to purchase the ZEV Credits that Tesla may earn and receive during the forecast period, then [***] will have an obligation to purchase such ZEV credits. In the
event that [***] declines to purchase the ZEV Credits, then this Agreement shall terminate (assuming it has not already expired), subject to the survival provisions in Section IV.A, below. 

 In return for the transfer to [***] of all ZEV Credits Tesla earns and receives associated with the delivery and
placement into service of a Tesla ZEV in California or a ZEV State, [***] will pay Tesla $[***] for each Tesla ZEV sold or placed into service in California or a ZEV State.2 [***], however, is not obligated to purchase more than the ZEV Credits that Tesla earns and receives associated with
the delivery for sale and placement into service of 650 Tesla ZEVs in California or a ZEV State. 
  
  

	2	 It is the Parties’ understanding that for each Tesla ZEV delivered for sale and placed into service in California or a ZEV State, Tesla will earn
[***] ZEV Credits. Based on that understanding, the price for each ZEV Credit that Tesla could earn and receive for the delivery for sale and placement into service of a Tesla ZEV in California or a ZEV State is $[***].

	 	C.	Tesla represents and warrants to [***] that (1) Tesla has full rights to the ZEV Credits to be sold and transferred to [***] hereunder, except to the extent that
such Credits are subject to any general liens on Tesla assets granted by Tesla to creditors in the normal course of business, (2) Tesla will not transfer, assign or sell any ZEV Credit generated by the delivery and/or placement of a Tesla ZEV
in California or any ZEV state during the period from January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010 to any other party unless, once [***] has purchased all ZEV Credits that Tesla earns and receives associated with the delivery and placement to
service of 650 Tesla ZEVs in California or a ZEV State, [***] does not exercise its Right of First Refusal for any further credit, and (3) upon transfer of any ZEV Credit to [***],[***] will own such ZEV Credit free and clear of all liens or
encumbrances of any kind or any other interests of any third party. Tesla further represents and warrants to [***] that Tesla has the full power, authority and rights to enter into this Agreement and to sell and transfer all ZEV credits contemplated
to be sold to [***] pursuant to this Agreement. 

  

	 	D.	Each party represents and warrants to the other Party that the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Party and the performance by such Party of its
obligations hereunder have been duly and validly authorized and approved by all necessary corporate action.

	 	A.	The Parties agree that the terms of this Agreement, as well as all information submitted under a grant of confidentiality (whether express, implied, or pursuant to
statute or regulation) to ARB or any ZEV Agency pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, will remain confidential and will not be disclosed by either Party except only (1) to their respective employees, contractors, professional advisors and
consultants on a need-to-know basis; (2) to their prospective investors under appropriate non-disclosure agreements; (3) to the extent necessary to resolve disputes between the Parties, but only under a protective order protecting
confidentiality; (4) if required by law, regulation, or legal order if the disclosing Party uses reasonable efforts to have the recipient treat it as confidential and takes reasonable steps to give the other Party prior notice sufficient to
allow the other Party to contest disclosure; (5) to the SEC, if requested pursuant to regulations adopted under the Securities Act of 1933; and (6) as otherwise may be agreed in writing by the Parties;

submittals as confidential trade secrets of Tesla. The Parties acknowledge that, although ZEV Credit information meets the definition of “trade secret” in California Government Code section 6254.7(d), there can be no guarantee that

 Exhibit B 
 ZEV Credit Transfer Process 
  

	I.	General Credit Transfer Process. 

 The Parties acknowledge that the ZEV Credits must be transferred via a credit bank set up by ARB. The process is as follows: 
  

	 	•	 	 To the extent not done so already, the Parties each will first apply for a ZEV Credit account and complete an “Application for Zero Emission
Vehicle (ZEV) Account with the ZEV Bank” for the State of California. Each such ZEV Credit account is registered in the appropriate ZEV accounting bank and shall be hereinafter referred to as a “ZEV Bank.”

  

	 	•	 	 The ARB will record Tesla ZEVs and the appropriate number of ZEV Credits in the ZEV Bank. 

  

	 	•	 	 Each transfer of ZEV Credits will be filed by Tesla with the ZEV Bank using California’s “Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Credit Transfer
Form,” attached as Exhibit A, (each, a “ZEV Credit Transfer Form”). 

  

	 	•	 	 Tesla is eligible to receive a certain number of ZEV Credits for each Tesla ZEV produced and delivered for sale pursuant to 13 CCR 1962.1
(d)(5)(C) and the accompanying table as well as the multiplier set forth in 1962.1 (d)(5)(D). 

  

	II.	Initial Payment; Monthly Reporting and Payment. 

  

	 	A.	Initial Payment by [***]. Once Tesla has a minimum of [***] ZEV Credits in Tesla’s ZEV Bank generated by the delivery for sale or placement into service of
Tesla ZEVs, Tesla will send to [***] a copy of a statement(s) issued by ARB related to such ZEV Credits, along with all documents submitted by Tesla to ARB pursuant to MAC 2006-03 (or subsequent ARB guidance) in connection with such ZEV Credits.
Within 10 days thereafter, [***] will pay Tesla an amount equal to $[***] per ZEV Credit. Upon receipt of such payment, Tesla will immediately prepare, sign and deliver to [***] a partially completed ZEV Credit Transfer Form(s) (Tesla will complete
Sections I and II in California) to transfer those ZEV Credits to [***]. [***] will immediately complete the Transfer Form(s) and deliver them to Tesla, which shall then immediately submit the forms to ARB. The Parties will follow the process
set forth in Section II.B for the balance of Tesla’s ZEV Credits subject to the Agreement. 

  

	 	B.	Reporting of ZEVs; Monthly Transfer Reports; Monthly Payments. The ZEV Credit transfer process will be as follows: 

  

	 	•	 	 By or before the 15th day of each month following a month in which Tesla has earned a ZEV Credit subject to the Agreement, Tesla will
determine the number of ZEV Credits recorded in its ZEV Bank(s) and Tesla will prepare, sign and deliver to [***] a partially completed ZEV Credit Transfer Form(s)

(Tesla will complete Sections I and II in California), transferring all such ZEV Credits to [***]. Tesla will simultaneously provide to [***] all documents submitted to ARB pursuant to MAC
2006-03 (or subsequent ARB guidance) that pertain to the ZEV Credits being transferred to [***] per the ZEV Credit Transfer Form(s). 

  

	 	•	 	 Upon receipt from Tesla, [***] will verify and complete Section III and sign the ZEV Credit Transfer Form(s) and deliver such form to Tesla for
submission to ARB. 

  

	 	•	 	 Upon confirmation of each trade with ARB, Tesla will present [***] with an invoice (via email/pdf) for an amount equal to the number of ZEV Credits
transferred by Tesla to [***] multiplied by $[***]. 

  

	 	•	 	 Upon receipt of each invoice, [***] will request confirmation from ARB of the most recent transfers and pay Tesla the amount invoiced. [***] shall pay
each invoice within 10 business days of the date such invoice was presented to [***]. 

  

	 	•	 	 The point of contact for each Party to administer the transfer and payment processes is as follows:

	 	•	 	 Either Party may change its point(s) of contact by written notice to the other Party. All documents and notices required pursuant to this
