EXHIBIT A Equity Incentive Award under the Vivint Solar 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan

Compensation:

Base Salary:

You will continue to be paid an annual base salary of $345,000, payable in bi-monthly increments and in accordance with the Company’s payroll policies and practices.

MBO Bonus:

You will be eligible to participate in the Company’s annual executive bonus program with a target incentive bonus of 40% of your annual salary, earned and determined at the sole discretion of Vivint Solar and based on multiple factors, including, but not limited to, achievement of individual and Company performance objectives.  A significant purpose of our bonus program is retention, therefore to earn a bonus, you must be an employee on the date Vivint Solar pays such bonus, and you will not earn or be entitled to any pro rata bonus payments if your employment ends for any reason prior to such date.  All earned bonuses will be paid in accordance with Vivint Solar’s policies and practices regarding incentive compensation awards.

Long-term Incentives:

You previously have been granted the long-term equity incentive award(s) (the “Equity Incentive Award(s)”) under the 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) that are set forth on Exhibit A.  The Equity Incentive Award(s) remain subject to the terms and conditions applicable to awards granted under the Plan and the agreement between you and the Company.  Your

status as a continuous service provider under the terms and conditions of the Plan has not been affected by this agreement or your employment moving to Vivint Solar, and does not modify applicable vesting requirements.

Any vesting is subject to your continued employment with the Company through applicable vesting dates.  No rights are earned or accrued until such time that vesting occurs, nor does the grant confer any right to continued vesting or employment.  You acknowledge that you have no rights or claims to equity of the Company other than the Equity Incentive Award(s) listed on Exhibit A.

Employee Benefits:

We maintain certain employee benefits plans, and you will continue to be able to participate in those plans for which you meet the eligibility requirements.  To the extent that any employee contribution is owed for such benefits, you will continue to be responsible for paying the employee portion, which will be deducted from your pay.

You will be entitled to office space and equipment consistent with what the Company provides for other members of executive management of the Company, including without limitation, a computer, company-paid mobile phone and tablet and related services. The Company shall also reimburse you for annual bar association dues and fees and the reasonable costs / expenses of attending / participating in annual continuing legal education (CLE) programs.

Holidays; Out of Office Time:

We believe in work-life balance.  We currently recognize nine (9) paid holidays each calendar year.  A calendar of Company-paid holidays is available through Human Resources.  Out of office time is managed and coordinated directly with your manager and in accordance with Company policy for employees exempt from overtime laws in the state where you work.
