Form of Share Award Agreement

SHARE AWARD AGREEMENT under the FIRST SOLAR, INC. 2015 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN, between First Solar, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, and the individual (the “Participant”) set forth on the Grant Notice which incorporates this Form Share Award-008 by reference.

This Share Award Agreement including any addendum hereto and the Grant Notice (collectively, this “Award Agreement”) set forth the terms and conditions of an award of fully vested shares of the Company’s common stock (this “Award”) that is being granted to the Participant set forth on the Grant Notice on the date set forth in the Grant Notice (such date, the “Grant Date”), under the terms of the Company’s 2015 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) for the number of shares of common stock (the “Shares”) set forth in the Grant Notice. This Award is subject to all the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement and the Plan, including without limitation, THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISIONS SET FORTH IN SECTION 10 OF THIS AWARD AGREEMENT.

SECTION 1.    The Plan. This Award is made pursuant to the Plan, all the terms of which are hereby incorporated in this Award Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Plan, on the one hand, and the terms of this Award Agreement, on the other hand, the terms of the Plan shall govern.

SECTION 2.    Definitions. The following terms are defined in this Award Agreement, and shall when capitalized have the meaning ascribed to them in this Agreement in the locations set forth below.

Capitalized terms that are not defined in this Award Agreement shall have the meanings used or defined in the Plan.

SECTION 3.    Responsibility for Taxes.

(a)Regardless of any action the Company or the Participant’s employer, if other than the Company (the “Employer”), takes with respect to any or all federal, state or local income tax, social security contributions, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Participant’s participation in the Plan that are legally applicable to the Participant (“Tax-Related Items”), the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and that such liability may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including, without limitation, the issuance of Shares, the

subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the Award or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Participant becomes subject to tax and/or social security contributions in more than one jurisdiction, the Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

(b)    Prior to any relevant taxable, tax and/or social security contribution withholding event, the Participant shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company or its agent to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regards to Tax-Related Items by withholding a number of Shares to be issued upon settlement of the Award. If, for any reason, the Shares that would otherwise be deliverable to the Participant upon settlement of the Award would be insufficient to satisfy the tax withholding obligations, or if such withholding in Shares is problematic under applicable tax or securities law or has materially adverse accounting consequences, the Participant authorizes (i) the Company and any brokerage firm determined acceptable to the Company to sell on the Participant’s behalf a whole number of Shares from those Shares to be issued to the Participant as the Company determines to be appropriate to generate cash proceeds sufficient to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations for Tax-Related Items (ii) the Company, the Employer and any Affiliate to withhold an amount from the Participant’s wages or other compensation or require the Participant to make a cash payment sufficient to fully satisfy any applicable withholding obligations for Tax-Related Items.

(c)    Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum withholding rates, in which case the Participant will receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent in Shares. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, the Participant is deemed, for tax and/or social security contributions and other purposes, to have been issued the full number of Shares, notwithstanding that a number of Shares are held back solely for the purposes of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Participant’s participation in the Plan.

(d)    The Participant shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Participant expressly acknowledges that the delivery of Shares is conditioned on satisfaction of all Tax-Related Items in accordance with this Section 3, and that the Company may refuse to deliver the Shares if the Participant fails to comply with the Participant’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

SECTION 4.    Consents and Legends.

The Participant’s rights in respect of the Shares are conditioned on the receipt to the full satisfaction of the Committee of any required consents that the Committee may determine to be necessary or advisable (including, without limitation, the Participant’s consent to the Company’s supplying to any third-party recordkeeper of the Plan such personal information as the Committee deems advisable to administer the Plan, as may further be described to the extent applicable discussing applicable data privacy considerations in an addendum to this Award Agreement, as described in Section 14).

(b)    Legends. The Company may affix to certificates for Shares issued pursuant to this Award Agreement any legend that the Committee determines to be necessary or advisable (including to reflect any restrictions to which the Participant may be subject under any applicable securities laws).

The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the countries set forth below as of August 2018. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Participant should not rely solely on this Addendum for information relating to the consequences of participating in the Plan because such information may be outdated when the Participant is issued or sells any Shares acquired under the Plan.

The Participant should consult with his or her personal tax advisor to ensure compliance with any reporting requirements.

This offer is made subject to general ruling n° 336 of the Chilean Commission for the Financial Market (“CMF”).

Policy Statement. The invitation the Company is making under the Plan is unilateral and discretionary and, therefore, the Company reserves the absolute right to amend it and discontinue it at any time without any liability to the Participant.

The Company, with registered offices at 350 West Washington Street, Suite 600, Tempe, Arizona 85281, United States of America is solely responsible for the administration of the Plan and participation in the Plan or the acquisition of Shares does not, in any way, establish an employment relationship between the Participant and the Company since the Participant is participating in the Plan on a wholly commercial basis and the sole employer is a Mexican legal entity

that employs the Participant and to which he/she is subordinated, nor does it establish any rights between the Participant and the Employer.

Plan Document Acknowledgment. By accepting the Award, the Participant acknowledges that he or she has received a copy of the Plan, has reviewed the Plan and the Award Agreement in their entirety and fully understands and accepts all provisions of the Plan and the Award Agreement.

The Participant further acknowledges that having read and specifically and expressly approved the terms and conditions in the Section 5 of the Award Agreement, in which the following is clearly described and established: (a) participation in the Plan does not constitute an acquired right; (b) the Plan and participation in the Plan is offered by the Company on a wholly discretionary basis; (c) participation in the Plan is voluntary; and (d) the Company and its Affiliates are not responsible for any decrease in the value of the Shares underlying the Award.

Labor Law Acknowledgment.
