SOLAR DEVELOPMENT ACQUISITION AND SALE AGREEMENT

THIS SOLAR DEVELOPMENT ACQUISITION AND SALE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is effective as of June 7, 2012 (the “Effective Date”) between Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation, hereafter referred to as (“Buyer”) and Solar Hub Utilities, LLC, a Hawaiian Limited Liability company hereafter referred to as (“Seller”).

RECITALS

A. Seller has or is in the process of developing, and owns certain rights, interests and assets comprising sixty-eight (68) solar photovoltaic, electricity generating facilities having a total initial nominal nameplate capacity of 29.2 MWDC (each a “Project” and more than one the “Projects”) on sites in Oahu, Maui and Kona, Hawaii, as further described on the “Project List” attached as Exhibit A.

B. For each Project and in connection therewith Seller has acquired certain real estate rights and other assets and completed or commenced certain development activities. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller shall be obligated to complete certain Conditions Precedent, Project Milestones and other requirements with respect to the Projects as a condition to the payment by Buyer to Seller of the Purchase Price for each of the Projects and transfer of Seller’s ownership interest in Projects to Buyer.

C. Buyer desires to acquire all right, title and interest in and to the Acquired Assets comprising the Projects, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

D. Seller desires to transfer the Acquired Assets comprising the Projects to Buyer in accordance with the terms hereof.

E. The Buyer and Seller previously entered into an agreement related to the development of the Projects (“Original Agreement”).

F. The intent of Buyer and Seller in executing the Original Agreement was for Buyer to act in nature of an Engineering Procurement Construction company (“EPC”) for the Project wherein Buyer would provide pre-development capital, construction financing and construction oversight, to assist Solar Hub in its continued development of the Projects.

G. It was further the intent of Buyer and Seller that Solar Hub would remain the owner and applicant for all of the Projects until a FIT Agreement was executed between Solar Hub and the Utility and consent for any transfer of the Projects was received from the Utility.

H. However, as Buyer is providing significant capital to be used in the development of the Projects prior to any such transfer of ownership, it was the intent of the parties for Buyer to have a secured interest in the Projects as security for such investment.

I. In reviewing the Original Agreement, the Buyer and Seller agree that the terms of the Original Agreement may not accurately reflect the intent of Buyer and Seller regarding the transactions contemplated.

J. Therefore, the Parties have agreed that the Original Agreement is void and this amended and restated agreement (“Agreement”) accurately reflects the transaction between Buyer and Seller.

The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action or proceeding affected without its written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld). The indemnified party shall not be required to consent to the settlement of any action or proceeding if such settlement involves anything other than the payment of money by the indemnifying party in full settlement of such action or proceeding.

Buyer shall have the right to offset such expenses against all Project Payments (for the subject Project or any other Project) currently held in or subsequently deposited to the Escrow Account.

(3) Program Default.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) Buyer’s right to recover the Seller Fee portion of the Cash Advance shall not be subordinated to Seller’s right to recover costs and expenses for the Projects and (b) with regard to the subordinated portion of the Cash Advance, Seller shall pay all proceeds from Projects, whether from the completion, ownership, operation, lease, sale, or otherwise (“Proceeds”), after recovery of Seller’s costs and expenses and actual damages, to Buyer until such time as the outstanding Cash Advance balance has been paid in full. In the event of a Buyer Event of Default, this shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to Buyer to recover the Cash Advance regardless of the terms of the Promissory Note, Security Agreement (Assets) and Security Agreement (Membership Interests).

10.2.3 Termination Events. This Agreement shall terminate:

(b) by Buyer, upon written notice to Seller of such termination, in the event of an uncured Seller Event of Default as provided in Section 10.1, an Other Seller Default as provided in Section 10.2.2(a)(1), or a Program Default as provided in Section 10.2.2(a)(3) above;

(c) by Seller, upon written notice to Buyer of such termination, in the event of an uncured Buyer Event of Default as provided in either Section 10.1 or 10.2.2(b) above.
