SETTLEMENT AND RELEASE AGREEMENT

Recitals. The recitals set forth above are incorporated herein as a material part of this Agreement.

Final Retention and Assumption of Pre-payment. Wacker is irrevocably entitled to retain the total remaining pre-payment balance in the amount of EUR 24.080.582,40 (in words: twenty four million eighty thousand five hundred eighty-two 40/100 Euro) previously paid by SunEdison under the Agreements, and not credited against shipments of polycrystalline silicon or forfeited under the Agreements (the “Pre-Payment Amount”). The Pre-Payment Amount represents the correct and final amount with respect to all pre-payment amounts actually paid to Wacker as of the date of this Agreement and that these amounts have not been credited against deliveries or forfeited under the Agreements. SunEdison will not seek to reduce the Pre-Payment Amount and by way of precaution waives any and all potential claims for repayment, in part or in total, of such Pre-Payment Amount. Furthermore, SunEdison represents and warrants that such claims for repayment, in part or in total, of such Pre-Payment Amount have not been assigned to a third party.

In addition to the retention of the Pre-Payment Amount by Wacker, SunEdison shall irrevocably pay to Wacker and Wacker shall irrevocably accept the total sum of EUR 22,762,724.96 (in words: twenty-two million seven hundred sixty-two thousand seven hundred twenty-four and 96/100 Euro) to settle all unpaid invoices issued by Wacker to SunEdison for quantities of polycrystalline silicon delivered by Wacker to SunEdison (the “Unpaid Invoices Amount”).

Compensation Amount. In addition to the retention of the Pre-Payment Amount by Wacker and the payment of the Unpaid Invoices Amount by SunEdison, SunEdison shall irrevocably pay to Wacker and Wacker shall irrevocably accept the total sum of EUR 54,000,000.00 (in words: fifty-four million Euro) (the “Compensation Amount”) as further lump sum compensation in respect of the premature termination of the Agreements.

SunEdison shall pay the Unpaid Invoices Amount and the Compensation Amount according to the following payment schedule:

In case SunEdison does not fully and timely comply with any payment obligation under the payment schedule set forth in section 5.1 above, the total remaining Unpaid Invoices Amount and Compensation Amount shall immediately become due and payable plus interest at 8 percent on the total remaining Unpaid Invoices Amount and Compensation Amount from that date, and Wacker may immediately
