3.5

IBC will observe at all times any and all applicable rules and regulations regarding fair competition and the avoidance of corruption and other illicit business practices. Furthermore, IBC shall inform ▇▇▇▇▇ about any unfair competition practices of third parties with regard to the Products as well as possible infringements of patents and other intellectual property rights of ▇▇▇▇▇ with regard to the Products without undue delay and in writing.

3.6	IBC will inform ▇▇▇▇▇ without undue delay in writing should any third party acquires direct or indirect control of IBC.

4.	Minimum Purchase Quantity, Forecasts and Market Information

4.1	IBC shall be obliged to purchase Products with an overall minimum capacity of 17,0 MWp in 2007 and 23,0 MWp in 2008. The allocation of this minimum purchase requirement to each Product category is specified in Annex 4.

4.6	Prior to the beginning of each calendar quarter, IBC shall give ▇▇▇▇▇ a written estimation regarding the anticipated purchase figures for the Products for the following half year for planning purposes. These purchase forecasts will not be binding upon the Parties.

4.7	IBC shall inform ▇▇▇▇▇ about the development of the market for the Products, any changes of the legal and regulatory environment affecting the sale and distribution of the Products in the Territory and the behaviour of the competitors.

5.	Obligations of ▇▇▇▇▇

5.1	▇▇▇▇▇ will deliver the Products on the basis of confirmed orders placed by IBC and ▇▇▇▇▇, provided, however, that the orders have been made according to the regulations of this Agreement.

5.2	▇▇▇▇▇ will deliver the Products according to the specifications in Annex 3 and in accordance to all other written technical agreements between both parties.

5.3

▇▇▇▇▇ will deliver the Products on a very high quality-level. ▇▇▇▇▇ will at every time do his best efforts to improve quality and reliability of the Products. Especially ▇▇▇▇▇ will work on a high relative power-output of the solar-modules at lower insolation compared to the nominal power at nominal insolation to ensure a high energy-production of these modules per year.

5.4

▇▇▇▇▇ will deliver the Products certified according to international rules, esp. IEC 61215:2005, IEC ▇▇▇▇▇-▇, ▇▇▇ 60904-3 and TÜV-safety-class II in the actual and valid version. If the certifications are still in the testing procedure, ▇▇▇▇▇ provides IBC a confirmation from the testing institute that ▇▇▇▇▇ has applied for the both tests. When IEC 61730-1 becomes mandatory in Europe IBC will only accept modules according to this standard.

5.5

▇▇▇▇▇ will acknowledge any official test-result from a first-class international research-institute such as Fraunhofer ISE in Freiburg or TÜV-Rheinland in Cologne (or any other reputable institute) concerning the Products. If in any case discrepancy is found between TRINA’s specification and institute test-result, ▇▇▇▇▇ ensures to take action to supply Products according to the specification and to replace the originated damage.

5.6	▇▇▇▇▇ will support IBC in customer and warranty services for the Products in accordance with the warranty-terms in Annex 2. ▇▇▇▇▇ will bear all costs for warranty-services according to TRINA’s obligation as set forth in Annex 2 once both parties reach mutual agreement.

5.10

void

5.11

▇▇▇▇▇ will keep clear sales-structures. This means, that in Europe ▇▇▇▇▇ will establish only distributors (wholesalers) in Europe, but will not offer or deliver the Products to end-users or installers (exception for customers with a demand of above 3MWp/Year). If IBC asks for customer-protection or project-protection ▇▇▇▇▇ will give such protection and will not offer or deliver directly with the exception, that ▇▇▇▇▇ can clearly prove, that ▇▇▇▇▇ had continuous business with such customers before our request.

5.12

▇▇▇▇▇ shall advise and support IBC in connection with the establishment and operation of its business as well as with regard to the servicing of the Products and to use all reasonable endeavours to meet all orders for the Products forwarded to ▇▇▇▇▇ by IBC in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

5.13	▇▇▇▇▇ shall provide such information and support as may reasonably be requested by IBC to enable it properly and efficiently to discharge its duties under this Agreement.

6.	Prices and Payments

6.1

The price for each Product will be calculated on the basis of the formulae set forth in Annex 5. All prices quoted in the price list are net prices to which VAT, sales or other taxes and levies shall be added as required under applicable statutes, rules and regulations. All taxes and levies that are by applicable statutes, rules and regulations required to be paid by ▇▇▇▇▇ shall be paid by ▇▇▇▇▇. All other taxes or levies shall be paid by IBC.

6.2	Prices and payment terms shall be fixed bindingly for each calendar quarter at least 12 weeks before the beginning of this calendar quarter. A changed price for the following calendar quarter becomes valid when both parties agree on that new Annex 5 in writing.

6.3

Prices and payment terms shall be fair and reasonable according to the market-situation. Both parties have the right to request a price adaptation for the following quarter. In case both parties can not agree on new pricing and payment terms for the following calendar quarter, both parties will supply information on pricing and market to explain their position. Both parties will always engage to find a mutual agreement on pricing. In case both parties can not find an agreement on new pricing for a calendar quarter even after such discussion, the old price for a calendar quarter stays valid for the next calendar quarter. In case this automatic extension of price-validity has taken place for 2 calendar quarters following each other, both parties have the right to reduce shipments. In general both parties agree in the goal to reduce pricing by at least [****] ^† per year.

^†	This portion of the contract has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission, pursuant to Rule 406.

6.4	All deliveries of Products are due and payable in U.S. Dollars without any deduction whatsoever on an irrevocable L/C (irrevocable Letter of Credit of a first class international recognized bank) in starting business. Later on, after having mutual

experience and confidence between ▇▇▇▇▇ and IBC all deliveries can be paid by D/P (Documents against Payment) basis 30 days after issuance of the ▇▇▇▇ of lading unless otherwise agreed in purchase order or proforma invoice. All deliveries hereunder shall be made on a CIF (Incoterms 2000) basis to a European seaport.

▇▇▇▇▇ reserves the right to charge interest on overdue balances at a rate of 5 percentage points above the discount interest rate of the European Central Bank in effect from time to time.

6.5

If no payment in full of any amount due hereunder has been received within 60 days of the invoice date by ▇▇▇▇▇ of IBC for any shipment of the Products ordered by IBC hereunder then ▇▇▇▇▇ shall have the right to cancel the respective order by IBC and dispose otherwise of such shipment at its sole discretion. Before ▇▇▇▇▇ disposes any shipment to another customer, ▇▇▇▇▇ will inform IBC and give him a time of 14 days to fulfil the delayed payment-request.

6.6	IBC shall be free to determine its own prices and conditions in reselling the Products. We will work on mutual agreement in case of any conflict.

6.7

The delivered goods remain property of ▇▇▇▇▇ until all his rights to IBC that are based on the delivery according to Art.6 of this agreement have been fulfilled. Should the delivered goods be connected with other goods or be processed by IBC, then the goods are partially property of ▇▇▇▇▇ to the fraction that corresponds to the relation of the delivered goods to the other goods used by IBC on time of connection. Mortgage, transfer of ownerships as security on a debt or other degrees that restrict the right of property are not admissible. Intervention costs are chargeable to IBC.

7.	Withdrawal of Products and Specification Changes

7.1	▇▇▇▇▇ is entitled to vary Annex 3 so as to exclude from this Agreement such one or more of the Products as it thinks fit if for any reason the production of such Products has been permanently discontinued or some other reasons by giving written notice hereof to IBC.

1. Limited Product Warranty – Five Years Repair, Replacement or Refund Remedy (for deliveries in 2007 the period will be 2 years)

Subject to Clause 3 below, Changzhou ▇▇▇▇▇ Solar Energy Co., Ltd (“▇▇▇▇▇”) warrants its Photovoltaic Solar Modules, including factory-assembled DC connectors and cables, if any (together, the “MODULES”), to be free from defect in materials and workmanship under normal application, installation, use and service conditions, for a period ending sixty (60) months from the date of sale as shown on the invoice to the original end customer (the “CUSTOMER”). If MODULES fail to conform to this warranty during such sixty (60) month period, ▇▇▇▇▇ will, at its option, either repair or replace the product, or refund the purchase price as paid by the CUSTOMER. Such repair, replacement or refund shall be the sole and exclusive remedy provided under this Clause 1 and shall not extend beyond the sixty (60) month period set forth herein. It will be performed directly to the CUSTOMER only. This Clause 1 does not warrant a specific power output, which shall be exclusively covered under Clause 2 below (“Limited Peak Power Warranty”). According to the valid laws in Germany and the European Union, in case of any defect of the Modules within the first 24 months from the date of sale as shown on the invoice to the original end consumer, ▇▇▇▇▇ will bear supplementary to the above described liability all other cost to handle the warranty, such as cost for evaluation, transport, deinstallation, reinstallation and missing energy production.

2. Limited Peak Power Warranty – Limited Remedy

12 years (for deliveries in 2007 the period will be 10 years)

Subject to Clause 3 below, if, within a period of twelve (12) years (10 years for deliveries in 2007) from the date of sale as shown in the invoice to the CUSTOMER, any MODULE(s) exhibits a power output less than 90% of the “Peak Power at STC” as specified at the date of invoice in TRINA’s applicable product information sheet (the “PRODUCT INFORMATION SHEET”), ▇▇▇▇▇ will, at its option, either provide additional MODULES to the CUSTOMER to make up for such loss in power, or replace the defective MODULE(s).

25 years

Subject to Clause 3 below, if, within a period of twenty-five (25) years from the date of sale as shown in the invoice to the CUSTOMER, any MODULE(s) exhibits a power output of less than 80% of the “Peak Power at STC” as specified at the date of invoice in TRINA’s PRODUCT INFORMATION SHEET, ▇▇▇▇▇ will, at its option, either provide additional MODULES to the CUSTOMER to make up for such loss in power, or replace the defective MODULE(s).

The remedies set forth in this Clause 2 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies with respect to any deficiency in the power output of MODULES.

Peak Power at STC

Peak Power at STC is the power in Watt peak that a PV-module generates in its Maximum Power Point. STC (Standards-Test-Conditions) are as follows: (a) light spectrum of AM 1.5, (b) an irradiation of 1.000W per m² and (c) a cell temperature of 25 degree centigrade at right angle irradiation. The measurements are carried out in accordance with IEC 61215:2005 as tested at the connectors per calibration and testing standards according to IEC 60904-1 ...... IEC 60904-10.

3. Exclusions and Limitations

(1)

All warranty claims must be filed within the applicable warranty period.

(2)

The “Limited Product Warranties” and the “Limited Peak Power Warranties” described in Clauses 1 and 2 above shall not apply to, and ▇▇▇▇▇ shall have no obligation of any kind whatsoever with respect to, any MODULES which have been subjected to:

}

Misuse, abuse, neglect or accident;

}

Alteration, improper installation or application;

}

Non-observance of TRINA’s installation and maintenance instructions;

}

Repair or modifications by someone other than an approved or appointed service technician of ▇▇▇▇▇, or

}

Power failure surges, lighting, flood, fire, accidental breakage or other events outside the control of ▇▇▇▇▇

(3)

After the period of 24 months from the date of sale as shown on the invoice to the original end customer neither the “Limited Product Warranties” nor the “Limited Peak Power Warranties” set forth in Clauses 1 and 2 above, respectively, shall cover or include any transportation charges, customs clearance or any other costs for return of the MODULES, or for reshipment of any repaired or replaced MODULES, or costs associated with the installation, removal or reinstallation thereof, all such costs being the sole obligation of the CUSTOMER.

(4)

Warranty claims will not be honored if the type or serial number of the MODULES have been altered, removed or made illegible.

4. Limitation of Warranty Scope

The warranties described in these “Limited Warranties for PV Modules” are exclusive and are expressly in lieu of and exclude all other warranties, whether written, oral, express or implied, including but not limited to, warranties of merchantability and of fitness for a particular purpose, use, or application, and all other obligations or liabilities on the part of ▇▇▇▇▇, unless such other obligations or liabilities are expressly agreed to in writing signed and approved by ▇▇▇▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ shall have no responsibility or liability whatsoever for damage or injury to persons or property, or for other loss or injury resulting from any cause whatsoever arising out of or related to the modules, including, without limitation, any defects in the modules or from use or installation. Under no circumstances shall ▇▇▇▇▇ be liable for incidental, consequential or special damages, howsoever cause. Loss of use, loss of profits, losses of production, loss of revenues are therefore specifically and without limitation excluded to the extent legally permissible. TRINA’S aggregate liability, if any, in damages or otherwise, shall not exceed the invoice as paid by the CUSTOMER. Exception from this limitation is only the liability described in clause 1 within the first 24 months from the date of sale as shown on the invoice to the original end consumer. FOR SALES TO THE U.S. ONLY: SOMES STATES IN THE U.S. DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR THE EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES BY STATE LAW. THEREFORE, THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

5. Obtaining Warranty Performance

If the CUSTOMER believes that it has a justified claim covered by this “Limited Warranties for PV Modules”, the CUSTOMER shall send an immediate notification in writing directly to ▇▇▇▇▇ Solar Limited, ▇▇.▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Changzhou Jiangsu, Zipcode 213031, China. Together with the notification, the CUSTOMER must enclose the evidence of the claim, such as the description of the defect, documents showing results of the defect with the corresponding serial number of the MODULE(s) and a copy of the invoice for such MODULES.

The return of any MODULES will not be accepted unless prior written authorization has been given by ▇▇▇▇▇.

6. Disputes

The determination of such arbitrator shall be final and binding on all parties. All fees and expenses of the arbitrator shall be borne by the losing party, unless otherwise awarded by the arbitrator. FOR SALES TO U.S. ONLY: THIS LIMITED WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS. YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS BY STATE LAW THAT VARY FROM STATE TO STATE.

7. Various

The repair or replacement of the MODULES or the supply of additional MODULES does not constitute the beginning of a new warranty period, nor shall the original term of this “Limited Warranty for PV-Modules” be extended. Any replaced MODULES shall become the sole property of ▇▇▇▇▇ and shall be put at TRINA’s disposal immediately after a warranty claim has been recognized by ▇▇▇▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ has the right to deliver another type of MODULE (different in size, color, shape and/or power) in case ▇▇▇▇▇ has discontinued producing the replaced MODULES at the time of the claim. TRINA’s calibration standards shall be in compliance with the standards of IEC 60904-1 ... 60904-10.

8. Validity
