  - 8 -   CONFIDENTIAL


(v) insufficiency of Deposit or Customer signature; (vi) other failure of the Order to comply with the terms of the Project Policies Guidebook; or (vii) its sole discretion irrespective of the satisfaction of any other criteria, provided in each case that Sunrun shall do so in writing within three (3) business days of Sunrun’s receipt of the Order. Delays in Order acceptance by Sunrun shall constitute an equitable adjustment to the Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date in the Master Solar Facility Turnkey Contract between Sunrun and Contractor then in effect.

4.3 Collection of Payments.

(a) If a Deposit is due upon Solar Customer Agreement signing, Contractor shall be responsible for ensuring that Host Customer has paid the Deposit through the Sunrun customer website and/or delivering it through secure processing center designated by Sunrun. Deposits shall be collected and delivered to Sunrun at or about the same time as Contractor delivers the Solar Customer Agreement signed by such potential Host Customer.

(b) If the Host Customer pays Sunrun the Initial Payment in advance of commencement of the Solar Facility installation, then Sunrun will make reasonable efforts to notify Contractor in advance of the scheduled start of work on the Solar Facility. If Contractor has not received such notice, Contractor shall use reasonable efforts to collect the Initial Payment on Sunrun’s behalf, during installation, such payment to be made by Host Customer by check payable to Sunrun and mailed by Contractor to Sunrun within five (5) business days of collection. Contractor expressly disclaims any responsibility for acting as Sunrun’s agent in this regard. If Contractor arrives on the job site to commence work on the Solar Facility and the Host Customer does not provide the required Initial Payment, Contractor shall use reasonable efforts to notify Sunrun and shall proceed with installation of the Solar Facility, provided that if Sunrun wants Contractor to stop work and reschedule the Solar Facility installation to coincide with the Host Customer’s Initial Payment to Sunrun, Sunrun will notify Contractor immediately. Such delay shall pro-rata extend the timelines in the Master Solar Facility Turnkey Contract between the Parties. Contractor will also be entitled to payment from Sunrun for all work performed and materials used through the date of work stoppage.

(c) Sunrun shall solely be responsible for any refunds or other payments made to Host Customer for any reason pursuant Solar Customer Agreement or in association with any Sunrun Product, including but not limited to a cancellation by the Host Customer of the Solar Customer Agreement or an inability of the Contractor to perform under the Master Solar Facility Turnkey Contract, and Contractor agrees not to make any payments directly to the Host Customer. Nothing in this Section 4.3(c), shall limit or otherwise reduce either Party’s ability to pursue the other Party for breaches of the Agreement.

4.4 Solar Facility Pricing and Payment.

(a) Price. Sunrun agrees to purchase Solar Facilities from Contractor for the price Contractor enters into the Online Proposal System during the process of generating the Solar Customer Agreement (“Solar Facility Price”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time Contractor offers to provide a Solar Facility to a potential Host Customer (i) at a price or rate lower than that included in the Solar Customer Agreement, (ii) with a guarantee of state or local Rebate amounts or (iii) with any other promotion that affects the economics of the proposed Solar Facility with respect to a Host Customer (collectively, a “Partner Discount”), the Solar Facility Price shall be the amount set forth in the first sentence of this Section 4.4(a) less the Partner Discount.

(b) Participation. Contractor shall be enrolled in the Leads Program, unless it provides written notice to Sunrun that it elects not to participate in the Leads Program, such notice to be delivered at least five (5) business days prior to the beginning of the quarter.

Contractor may return to the Leads Program by providing written notice at least five (5) business days prior to the beginning of any subsequent quarter or upon mutual agreement of the Parties. During each Quarterly Review Sunrun and Contractor will discuss the Leads Program and determine whether the guidelines and performance standards were met by the Contractor for the quarter. If Contractor fails to meet guidelines and performance standards in two consecutive quarters Sunrun may in its sole discretion discontinue the Leads Program for Contractor.

5.2 Incentive Program.

(a) General. To incentivize the sale of Sunrun Products, from time to time Sunrun may provide in writing to Contractor an incentive program based on the individual sales activity and other performance metrics of each of Contractor and/or each of Contractor’s salespersons (the “Sales Incentive Program”), such requirements and benefits as more fully described in such writing provided by Sunrun to Contractor. For the purposes of the Sales Incentive Program, a sale of a Sunrun Product is credited to Contractor and/or a salesperson upon Sunrun’s countersignature of the Solar Customer Agreement; provided, however, in the event an Order so accepted is cancelled, then such Order shall not be credited to Contractor or the salesperson responsible for such Order, and if a payment has already been made to Contractor under the Sales Incentive Program for the cancelled Order then any future payments made to Contractor with respect to Contractor’s or such salesperson’s performance shall be reduced to reflect the cancellation; provided, further, in the event a salesperson terminates employment with Contractor, Contractor shall promptly notify Sunrun, and Sunrun shall have no obligation to make any future payments to Contractor for benefits earned by such terminated salesperson pursuant to Sales Incentive Program.

(b) Payment. Sunrun may make any payments earned under the Sales Incentive Program on a monthly basis directly to Contractor, and such payment is made in consideration for Contractor’s performance under this Agreement. Contractor agrees to distribute any payments received to the salespersons who earned the payments, after making deductions for employer taxes, workers compensation premiums and any other deductions required by law. Payments under the Sales Incentive Program are subject to the Contractor performing its obligations under this Agreement.

 

  - 10 -   CONFIDENTIAL


(c) No Employment Relationship. Sunrun and Contractor agree that the salespersons are solely under the employment of Contractor and that the Sale Incentive Program does not establish any employment, contractual or beneficial relationship between any employees of Contractor and Sunrun.

(d) Amendment and Termination. Sunrun reserves the right to terminate, suspend or amend any of the terms of the Sales Incentive Program in its sole discretion by providing fifteen (15) days written notice to Contractor before such termination, suspension or amendment becomes effective.

5.3 Promotional Programs. Sunrun may from time to time offer promotional programs for Sunrun Products to Contractors, such programs Contractors may in turn offer to potential Host Customers. Contractor agrees not to run any promotional programs for Sunrun Products that are not approved in writing (email acceptable) in advance by Sunrun.

(d) Upon Sunrun’s reasonable request, Contractor shall make available to Sunrun, for its approval, samples of all uses of the Sunrun Trademarks. Sunrun shall have the right to monitor the quality of the Contractor Licensed Uses and to make reasonable objections to any such sample on the grounds that Sunrun believes that the use of such materials by Contractor will be damaging to or dilutive of the value of, or reputation associated with, the Sunrun Trademarks, or damaging to or dilutive of the reputation of Sunrun or its products and services. Contractor shall undertake such other steps as Sunrun may reasonably request to assist Sunrun in monitoring the quality of the Contractor Licensed Uses provided by Contractor under the Sunrun Trademarks.

The following description of the Online Proposal System is as of the Effective Date and is provided for descriptive purposes only. Sunrun reserves the right to modify any of the terms below in its sole discretion, at any time and without notice.

The Online Proposal System, currently hosted at partner.sunrun.com, allows personnel of designated Contractors to create proposals, sales documents and manage certain operations functions. The Online Proposal System’s hours of operation are approximately 24 hours a day, seven days a week, subject to maintenance downtime. Sunrun provides technical support for the Online Proposal System via email, at completesolar@sunrunhome.com, and by phone at 888-840-7180. Support hours are presently Monday through Friday (excluding holidays) from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm (PT). Urgent, or after hours support issues may be directed to the designated Sunrun Contractor representative.

 

  1.

Upgrades/Changes. Sunrun will periodically perform maintenance on and upgrades to Online Proposal System. This maintenance/release schedule and associated procedures shall be determined by Sunrun at its sole discretion. In some instances, Sunrun may at its sole discretion define a specific service change as “significant”. In the event of a “significant” service change, Sunrun will make commercially reasonable efforts to notify Contractor prior to change.

 

  2.

Sunrun originated proposal. Contractor will use solely the materials generated by the Online Proposal System to market and sell Sunrun Products to potential customers. Any customized materials or materials not generated by the Online Proposal System representing Sunrun Products must not be used to market and sell Sunrun Products unless such materials have been approved in advance in writing by appropriate Sunrun personnel.

 

  3.

Proposal data synchronization. Sunrun expects that the Parties will make reasonable commercial efforts to synchronize proposal data common to both the Online Proposal System and Contractor’s direct purchase proposal. Data points to be considered for synchronization include solar production estimates, utility cost estimates and savings estimates.

 

  4.

Proposal data integration. By default, the Online Proposal System fields are filled out via manual data entry. Sunrun expects that the Contractor will make commercially reasonable efforts to implement technical interoperability to ensure the most efficient input methods are being utilized.

 

  5.

Administrator. Contractor may designate an Online Proposal System administrator to assist appropriate Contractor personnel with proposal creation, proposal manipulation and the management of Contractor users. It is expected that this administrator will keep Contractor users current and up to date.

EXHIBIT F

MINIMUM VOLUME COMMITMENTS

 

1.

1. Contractor shall deliver a minimum amount of DC kW in Installations or Net Orders as is set forth in table below and in accordance with the terms hereof (“Minimum Volume Commitment”). The Parties may mutually agree in writing to an updated Minimum Volume Commitment from time to time without requiring an amendment to this Agreement. Annually, until the end of the Term, the Parties shall mutually agree on a Minimum Volume Commitment for the upcoming year. In the event that Sunrun and Contractor fail to mutually agree upon a Minimum Volume Commitment for any period of time for which a Minimum Volume Commitment is not in place, the Minimum Volume Commitment for such period shall be that in place during the month immediately preceding such time until the Parties mutually agree on a new Minimum Volume Commitment. “Watt” is a unit of electrical power, measured in direct current (“DC”) standard test conditions. A “Kilowatt” or “kW” is 1,000 Watts. A “Megawatt” is 1,000,000 Watts.

 

2.

The Minimum Volume Commitment forecast shall include the following details and structure:

a. Number of Net Orders where “Net Orders” means those Orders that are not expected to be cancelled by the Host Customer and that are not ultimately rejected by Sunrun pursuant to Section 4.2 (i)-(vi) of the Agreement.

SUNRUN LEADS PROGRAM

PROGRAM OVERVIEW & GUIDELINES

Sunrun actively generates residential solar leads that are prequalified by Sunrun’s inside sales team. We provide these leads to select partners free of charge with the goal of generating deals for our partners and for Sunrun. On average we spend [***]. Some of our partners have seen great success with our leads and others have not. The following requirements and guidelines stem from our experience with the more successful partners over the two-year history of this program. If followed, these guidelines will result in more deals for both of our organizations.

LEADS PROGRAM OVERVIEW

 

   

Sunrun will pass exclusive, prequalified residential solar leads to our partners with the goal of generating closed Sunrun deals

 

   

Program is optional and by invitation only: Once invited to participate, a partner can opt in at the beginning of each calendar quarter and opt out at any time. Currently we are only extending this invitation to our top partners (by deal volume) in each region.

 

   

Lead volume targets will be agreed upon at the beginning of each calendar quarter

CRITERIA FOR PARTICIPATION

While we would love to make this program available to everyone, good leads are scarce! Since our leads are exclusive (we pass them to one partner only) we must limit participation in the program. Criteria for participating in the program are outlined below:

 

Length of relationship   

•  A Sunrun partner must have at least 3 months of experience selling Sunrun before being eligible for the program

Lead passing guidelines   

•  Partner must agree to the Leads Program Overview and Guidelines (described on separate document)

Performance targets   

•  Partner must average 3 closed Sunrun deals per sales rep per month for the 3-month period prior to joining the program

 

•  Sales reps that have been with the company less than 6-weeks are excluded from this performance target

 

LOGO


As we approach the 3-month anniversary of our partnership we will evaluate whether participation in the Sunrun Leads Program make sense for both of our organizations.

SUNRUN’S RESPONSIBILITIES

 

   

Sunrun will only pass leads that have been subjected to a 20-point prequalification conversation that includes an online visual inspection of the array location

 

   

All relevant information will be passed over including contact information, utility information, and extensive notes from the conversation

PARTNER’S RESPONSIBILITIES

Successfully meeting these performance and process standards will result in a greater share of leads, failure to meet these standards in two consecutive quarters will result in reduced lead volume and potential elimination from program:

Performance target

 

   

Close rate 20%, where close rate is defined as total approved Sunrun deals in a quarter divided by total qualified Sunrun leads passed in the quarter

 

   

Proposal creation rate on qualified leads > 80%

Sales process

 

   

Sales representative must lead with Sunrun

 

   

Partner must make 3 attempts to contact lead within 7 days of receiving lead

 

   

Partner must notify Sunrun if lead is unqualified within 14 days of receiving lead

 

   

Leads may only be unqualified for reasons outlined in Appendix 1


   

If partner has not created a Sunrun proposal within 21 days, Sunrun reserves the right to pass lead to another partner

 

   

Lead status report must be sent to Sunrun once per week (format outlined in Appendix 2)

 

   

To expedite the sale, partner grants Sunrun right to pass directly to sales reps (we are happy to copy others in the organization for data management!)

Note on system costs: Please consider the avoided sales & marketing costs you are not incurring on these leads. Lower system costs mean lower Sunrun pricing which means more closed deals. We do not expect you to contribute [***] avoided sales and marketing costs, but system costs for Sunrun leads should reflect a portion of these savings.

CUSTOMER PROMOTION GUIDELINES

LOGO       LOGO

 

Sunrun Guidelines for Customer Promotions

Effective as of 3/15/2012

Updated 2/27/2012

We recognize that customer promotions provide a powerful mechanism for increasing urgency at the point of sale, driving additional sales, and generating referrals. Our desire is to support promotional activities. However, it is equally important that we adhere to guidelines that ensure any promotional activity that your organization and/or Sunrun undertakes remains compliant with federal consumer protection laws and federal income tax rules. The latter is especially sensitive given the tax-subsidization our industry receives in the form of the Federal investment tax credit (“ITC”).

The below guidelines help ensure that Sunrun-related customer promotions comply with applicable federal laws. This document is broken into two sections: 1) guidelines driven by the Federal ITC, and 2) guidelines driven by federal consumer protection laws.

To ensure fairness and consistency in customer experience, we are asking all Sunrun partners to adhere to these guidelines. Please acknowledge your receipt and intent to comply with these guidelines by signing and dating the bottom of this document and returning to me via email.

Part 1. Guidelines Driven by the Federal ITC

The fundamental requirements underlying these guidelines are that a Sunrun partner cannot either 1) cover any portion of a homeowner’s Sunrun contract obligations or 2) provide below-cost services to the homeowner for the installation of non-ITC eligible equipment, while increasing the cost of the Sunrun solar facility to cover the amount of such improvement(s). Doing so could jeopardize the integrity of Sunrun’s ITC claims.

Upfront promotions

 

What’s not ok?

A Sunrun partner or partner employee cannot pay any portion of the Sunrun upfront payment directly to the homeowner or to Sunrun on behalf of the homeowner.

 

   

The homeowner must pay the entire upfront amount stipulated on the Sunrun customer agreement.

 

   

Example: A “$500 cash-back” promotion would violate this guideline.

What’s ok?

You may still run promotions around a reduction in the upfront payment. You can do this by lowering the turnkey cost in the Sunrun proposal tool. You may also use gifts as a promotional tool.

 

1


LOGO       LOGO

 

Any reductions in the upfront payment as part of a promotion must be accomplished by reducing the turnkey price in the Sunrun proposal tool.

Example:

 

   

Your company wants to run the promotion “$500 off if you sign today”.

 

   

Your sales rep provides the homeowner with an initial proposal where turnkey cost is $25,000.

 

   

The upfront payment on this initial proposal is $500.

 

   

To achieve this promotion, you must run a second proposal with a new turnkey that is approximately $850 less than the original turnkey price.

 

   

New turnkey = $25,000 - $850 = $24,150. This second proposal will show an upfront payment of $500 less than the initial proposal.

 

   

By signing the second proposal the customer gets $500 off.

 

   

Promotional gifts valued at up to $599 are ok; however they cannot be cash or cash-equivalents. Gifts are capped at a $599 value because IRS regulations require the issuance of a 1099 form for providing gifts valued in excess of that amount. Receipt of a 1099, or failure to receive a 1099 when one is required will generate a poor customer experience that we all want to avoid.

Monthly payment promotions

 

What’s not ok?

A Sunrun partner or partner employee cannot pay any portion of Sunrun monthly payments directly to the homeowner or to Sunrun on behalf of the homeowner.

 

   

The homeowner must pay all monthly payments stipulated in the Sunrun customer agreement.

 

   

Example: A promotion such as “Sign today and we’ll pay your solar electricity bill for 6 months” would violate this guideline.

What’s ok?

You may still run a promotion around reduction in monthly electricity payments by lowering the turnkey cost in the Sunrun proposal tool

 

   

Any reductions in the monthly Sunrun payment as part of a promotion must be accomplished by reducing the turnkey price in the Sunrun proposal tool.

Example:

 

   

Your company wants to run the promotion “$5 off your monthly electricity payments if you sign today”.

 

   

You provide a homeowner with an original proposal for which the turnkey cost is $25,000.

 

2


LOGO       LOGO

 

   

The upfront payment on the initial proposal is $1,000 and the monthly bill is $130.

 

   

To achieve the promotion, you run a second proposal with a new turnkey that is approximately $1,000 less than the original turnkey price.

 

   

When running this proposal, you set the target upfront on the “Custom” option = $1,000. This ensures the reduction in turnkey cost flows to the monthly payment and not the upfront amount.

 

   

This second proposal will show an upfront payment of $1,000 and a monthly bill of $125.

 

   

By signing the second proposal the customer gets $5 off their monthly electricity payments.

Referral bonuses

 

Please adhere to the following guidelines when compensating customers for referrals:

 

   

Many partners choose to offer their current customers a bonus for referring new customers.

 

   

There is no restriction on the amount of money you may offer as a referral bonus. However, please note that IRS regulations require you to issue a 1099 form to any individual whom you compensate more than $599 in a calendar year.

 

   

Remember, Sunrun offers all of our customers a referral bonus that is in addition to any referral bonus from your organization. Please check with your account manager for details on the latest Sunrun referral bonus.

Ancilliary Services

 

Please do not include the following services as part of a Sunrun customer promotion:

 

   

Federal tax law is specific about services that cannot be included as part of the cost of a solar system. Thus the following services cannot be included for free or at a discount in a Sunrun customer promotion (these are also included in Sunrun’s Master Solar Facility Turnkey Agreement):

 

  1.

Remove or dispose of any hazardous substances that currently exist at the home;

 

  2.

Improve the construction of the roof or the site to support the solar system;

 

  3.

Remove or replace existing rot, rust, or insect infested structures;

 

  4.

Provide structural framing for any part of the site;

 

3


LOGO       LOGO

 

  5.

Pay for or correct construction errors, omissions, and deficiencies by homeowner or contractors hired by the homeowner;

 

  6.

Pay for, remove, or remediate mold, fungus, mildew, or organic pathogens;

 

  7.

Upgrade the home’s existing electrical service (unless solely solar energy flows through the new equipment);

 

  8.

Installation of any smoke detectors, sprinklers, or life safety equipment required by municipal code or inspectors as a result of the solar installation;

 

  9.

Pay for the removal or re-location of equipment, obstacles or vegetation in the vicinity of the solar system;

 

  10.

Move items unassociated with the solar system around the homeowner’s site.

Part 2. Guidelines Driven by federal consumer protection laws

There are a number of federal consumer protection laws enforced by the Federal Trade Commission. The intent of these laws can be summarized as follows:

Any promotional claims:

 

   

cannot be false,

 

   

cannot be misleading, and

 

   

must be substantiated

Ultimately it’s your responsibility to ensure any promotional claims your organization makes are in line with these requirements. However, the below guidelines should provide you with a good starting point:

When running a promotion or discount, the original price must be legitimate

 

   

During a promotion, you may choose to offer a discount on your standard turnkey price.

 

   

The standard or original price must be either 1) your typical or previous price or 2) the typical price for a comparable system sold in that area.

There are restrictions around using “Limited Offer”, “Limited Time Offer”, or other similar concepts

 

   

When using these terms, the “limited offer” price must not be your usual price.

 

   

If an offer is “limited”, it should not be available for more than six months in a given area.

Similarly, there are restrictions around using the word “free”

 

   

You cannot build a product or service into the turnkey price and then present it as free.

 

   

This relates to the “ancillary services” section above as building a non-ITC eligible product or service into the turnkey price violates the ITC-eligibility of the system.

Introduction

Sunrun Vision

Create a planet powered by the sun by giving homeowners a cheaper, cleaner choice of power.

Introduction

Solar can be simple - it has few moving parts and it’s pretty easy to install. But because it’s a new industry and involves a highly regulated product - electricity - the policies that govern selling and installing solar are complex. Not all homes make good sense for solar, and there are rules around how to size and design a system that should be considered the moment you begin a dialogue with a potential customer.

The purpose of this guidebook is to provide you with a useful resource on all Sunrun policies and procedures. Please read this handbook carefully and consider it your starting point whenever you have a question. Understanding Sunrun policies and procedures will simplify your life by making it easier for you to identify and target the best customers for solar. You will also save time by avoiding customers that are not accepted by Sunrun.

The policies outlined in this guidebook were created to serve several goals: create scalable policies that will promote growth and ensure Sunrun’s longevity, provide a great customer experience (at both point of sale and over the lifetime of the agreement), align with Sunrun’s vision, and to stay within our project finance fund compliance.

If you have any questions or concerns that are not covered in this handbook, please consult your Sales Manager or your Sunrun Account Representative.

Power forward.

Accurate Information

When selling a Sunrun project, you and your team must supply us with accurate site and customer information in the Sunrun Software Tools from the get-go.

This includes accurate electricity usage and utility bill information for all customers.

 

LOGO

  Utility bills provided must be the most recent 12 consecutive months and can be no older than 6 months from the time the agreement is submitted to Sunrun.
  Utility bill must show: Service Address, Rate Schedule, and Usage History.

The Golden Trio

The same person who signs the agreement, must also run credit and be on the title of the home.

All parties on title should sign the agreement, at minimum one party must sign. Parties are defined by legal marriage.

 

   

e.g. If husband, wife, and son are all on title, EITHER the husband OR wife can sign. Ideally the son should sign too.

 

   

Only one (1) person must run credit if there are multiple parties on title.

 

   

If the home is in a trust, the appropriate person (see section Homeowner Type > Trusts) must sign the agreement and run credit.

 

LOGO

  The agreement must be signed using the current full legal name of the customer.
  The person whose name is on the top of the agreement must sign the agreement.
 

If the agreement requires three (3) or more signatures, the agreement must be printed and wet signed.

Integrated – Cancellation Verification Form

 

   

Exhibit A (containing the details for each customer)

The partner must submit these forms to their designated Project Portfolio Manager (PPM), within five business days of receiving notice of cancellation from the customer or after sending a notice of cancellation to the customer.

All Partner submitted cancellations are subject to Sunrun review. If requested by Sunrun, the partner must submit one or more of the following proofs of cancellation within five business days:

 

   

Letter, fax or email to the customer that clearly confirms and accepts the customer’s request to cancel. Proof must be in writing.

 

   

Letter, fax or email to the customer that clearly states and describes the Partner’s inability to honor the customer agreement. The communication to the customer must contain supporting proof of un-installable conditions. e.g. poor roof condition, structural deficiencies, non-compliant electrical services.

 

   

Letter, fax, email and/or call record to the customer that clearly demonstrates and confirms that the Contractor has fulfilled its obligation to proceed with the customer agreement but, has been unable to progress due to the customer’s unresponsiveness for at least 30 days.

Maximum Time from SR Approval without M1

A Sunrun Customer Agreement will be automatically cancelled if the installation does not reach M1 approval within the defined number of days from the date Sunrun counter-signs the Customer Agreement.

 

Region

  

Maximum Time to M1

California    210 Days
Hawaii    540 Days
All other geographic locations    270 Days

Projects cancelled due to reaching the maximum time without M1 will have a seven calendar day window to “re-instate the deal” from the date cancellation notification is sent to the partner. To re-instate the Customer Agreement installation must be scheduled to occur within 30 calendar days of cancellation. Beyond this window, the cancellation is final and cannot be reversed.

In order to re-instate the agreement, the partner should contact their designated Project Portfolio Manager (PPM). The customer may also contact Sunrun directly to indicate their desire to move forward.

Cancellations are final

All customer or partner initiated cancellations will have a 48 hour window to “re-instate the deal” from the time the cancellation notification is sent. A cancellation notification will be sent to the partner. Beyond this window, all cancellations are final and cannot be reversed.

If circumstances change outside of the 48 hour window and the customer wishes to pursue home solar service with Sunrun again, the customer will need to sign a new agreement

Appendices

Appendix I: Working Example – Accurate System Sizing

If you have the full 12 months of historical usage for the homeowner, enter in the usage with the correct corresponding month.

 

   

Do not use average usage if you have access to monthly usage

 

   

Usage must be entered exactly as listed on the utility bill

If you have 6 - 12 months of historical usage for the homeowner, in a market without access to the Living Space Square Footage Calculator, enter in the months available in the corresponding month field, then calculate the average to fill in for remaining months.

Example:

If usage for February - July is provided on bill, do the following calculation:

 

February - 819 kWh    March – 747 kWh    April – 800 kWh
May - 714 kWh    June – 810 kWh    July – 825 kWh

Average = 785.83 kWh

 

LOGO

If only daily averages are available by month, multiply each monthly average by the number of days in that month and fill in the appropriate month field.

 

January - 7.63kwh/day    7.63 X 31 = 236.53kwh/month
February - 7.52kwh/day    7.52 X 28 = 210.56kwh/month
March - 7.28kwh/day    7.28 X 31 = 225.68kwh/month

Appendix II: Title Check Cheat Sheet

Sunrun performs a title check as part of the contract approval process. This can result in three types of issues that will require additional information from you to resolve. The following cheat sheet will help you resolve these issues and even prevent them.

ASK the customer if they are on the Title of their home.

This is different from asking “Do you own the home?”, as that doesn’t always correlate to being on the title.

 

LOGO    If you are unsure which customer is on title or both customers are on title, ask both customers to sign the Agreement; one as Primary Account Holder and the other customer as Secondary Account Holder.

ASK the customer if the home is held in a Trust.

If yes, and the customer’s last name is not part of the trust name, ask for a copy of the first 5 pages of the trust document; ensure the customer is listed in the trust. The same person who signs the agreement, must pass credit.

 

LOGO   

If you are unsure, it’s always proactive to provide the first 5 pages of the trust document.

 

Revocable Trusts: All product types

 

Irrevocable Trusts: Prepaid only

ASK the customer if the home is owned by an LLC.

We do allow this for prepaid products so long as the LLC is owned by a single individual and the individual signs the agreement. You will need to provide LLC Articles of Incorporation.

 

595 Market Street, 29th Floor ● San Francisco, CA 94105

Page 25


LOGO

 

Always use the Customer’s full, legal name to generate and sign the Agreement.

Customer names must be entered in the Proposal Tool separately and must sign the contract separately; one customer as the Primary Account Holder and the other customer as the Secondary Account Holder.

Sunrun will not accept Agreements that are generated as or signed as “John and Jane Doe” or “John Doe and Jane Doe” as one customer.

 

LOGO   

Ask the customer for their ID. This will almost always have the correct name.

 

Customer Agreement should be generated and signed using the customer’s full name. i.e. “John Michael Doe”, not “J. Michael Doe”, “John M. Doe”, or “J.M. Doe”).

Check out the building type.

Do a little research on the home using multiple realty websites (Zillow, Red Fin, Trulia, etc.). This will give you a heads up that additional documentation may be required and the correct home type should be selected when generating the proposal.

Use accurate info in the Proposal Tool.

Be sure to choose the correct building type in the Proposal Tool when generating the agreement:

Prevent and Resolve Issues:

 

Issue

  

Resolution

Name of the homeowner who passed credit and signed the agreement is not on the title

OR

does not match the

title

  

The title is used to verify ownership of the home. It can be verified through a mortgage statement or property tax statement.

 

Prevention:

 

If you suspect the title record may be inaccurate (i.e. the customer(s) recently purchased the home), collect the additional documentation at the point of sale and submit to Sunrun with your contract.

 

The Customer’s full, legal name (no nicknames or initials) should be used to generate and sign the Agreement. Do NOT enter two people as the Primary Account, but instead separately as the Primary and Secondary Account Holder.

 

NOTE: if a customer has legally changed his or her last name from the name that appears on the title, the customer may complete a Legal Name Change Attestation (available via the Partner Portal). If the customer has changed his or her first and last name, government issued documentation of such a name change is required.

Property Type is not approved by Sunrun

OR

requires additional

documentation per

Sunrun policy

  

Sunrun only accepts residential properties. Commercial, Industrial, Public, Recreational, and Transport properties are not accepted.

 

A Residential property that is not clearly a Single Family detached home on title will require additional
documentation per the Sunrun Attached Homes policy.

 

Manufactured homes and non-permanent structures will require stamped plans from a licensed Civil or Structural Engineering (someone with the designation “P.E.” after their name) indicating structural integrity and a permanent foundation that will support the system. A licensed P.E. will understand this requirement and know what information to provide based on local codes.

Be aware of Sunrun policy and research the property type during your discovery for the project. Research the home on multiple realty websites (Zillow, Redfin, Trulia) and be prepared to provide additional documentation!

 

Be sure to follow instructions for additional documentation BEFORE submitting the contract to Sunrun for approval and always choose the correct building type before submission.

Property is held by a Trust.   

If the person/s signing the agreement has a last name matching the trust name, no further documentation is required

 

•  i.e. Name of trust: John Smith Family Trust OR Smith Family Trust

 

•  Name of signer: John Smith

 

For all titles held by a trust where the person signing the agreement does not have a last name matching the trust name: the first five (5) pages of the trust must be submitted to confirm the customer is listed in the trust.

Missing documentation

Property is held by an LLC

  

Documentation:

Prepaid ONLY. Be sure to provide the LLC Articles of Incorporation indicating the customer is the single owner of the LLC.

Appendix III: Golf Course Waiver and Detailed Policy

Background

Golf balls and proximity to golf courses can pose a hazard to rooftop solar installations. If modules are on a roof in a location that is consistently receiving damage from golf balls, this erodes profits over the life of the contract. Sunrun’s insurance deductible is not high enough to cover the damage; the company must pay out of pocket for replacement modules to ensure production guarantees to customers continue to be met.

The rule of thumb adopted by the company as policy is that solar installations must not be built within 500’ of a golf course. However, it is understood that there are certain circumstances under which this rule may not apply and a solar installation may be within 500’ of a golf course but safe from damage. The following policy and procedure provides a way for Partners to sell these types of installations by providing evidence and getting approval from Sunrun for exceptions.

Definitions

The following diagram illustrates the golf features mentioned in this document.

Policy

 

   

Pre-Approval: all solar installations within 500’ of a golf course must be approved by Sunrun Project Operations before entering into contract with a Customer. The term “golf course” includes the tee box, fairway, and hazards.

 

   

Sunrun has the right to decline projects that are submitted for SR Signoff without pre-approval.

 

   

Waiver: for Pre-Paid customers ONLY, the customer may choose to sign a waiver to release Sunrun from financial liability for golf ball damage.

Procedure

 

  1.

The following factors determine whether a solar system may be installed within 500’ of a tee box, fairway, or hazard:

 

  a.

Location of home in relation to the tee box, fairway, or hazard:

 

  i.

The home must be located outside of a 500’ radius forward of all tee boxes on the green (please see Fig. 1) and/or 500’ from the fairway and hazards.

 

  ii.

If the home is located within this radius and forward of a tee box, there must be an obstruction that will protect the solar installation from golf balls. Acceptable obstructions include:

 

  1.

Netting

 

  2.

Fencing

 

  3.

Other houses

Pre-Approval:

 

  b.

Partner submits approval request (please see Appendix A) to their Sunrun operations distribution list (ops_[your company]@sunrun.com).

 

  c.

Sunrun Operations will review the approval form and approve or reject the request, sign, and return to the Partner via email.

 

  d.

Sunrun Operations will provide a response within 48 hours.

 

  e.

If approved, and the contract is signed, Partner submits the approval form with the Proposal via the Partner Portal. Upload the approval form to the Partner Portal using the document type “Other.”

  2.

Waiver

 

  a.

If an installation is rejected, the customer may sign a waiver to release Sunrun from financial liability for golf ball damage. Have the customer sign this form and submit to Sunrun.

1. Acknowledgments

By signing this Amendment, you acknowledge and agree to the following:

a. Per the terms of the Agreement, Sunrun will install and maintain a Solar Facility on your Property, which is located on or near a golf course.

b. You are aware that the placement of Solar Facility in close proximity to a golf course creates a risk of damage to the Solar Facility, and you assume the responsibility to repair any damage to the Solar Facility that is caused by golf ball impacts.

c. You agree to waive Sunrun’s responsibility to insure the Facility against damage caused by golf ball impacts. You

understand that Sunrun is not warranting the Solar Facility against damage caused by golf ball impacts and shall not be responsible for repairing damage to the Solar Facility caused by golf ball impacts. You explicitly waive all such warranties and Sunrun’s responsibility to make such repairs.

d. You acknowledge and agree that Sunrun may adjust (in its reasonable and sole discretion) the Guaranteed Output set forth in Section 8 of the Agreement to the extent such damage to the system caused by golf ball impacts results in the Solar Facility’s underperformance. If your property is in an SREC market, you likewise acknowledge and understand that your Solar Facility may produce fewer SRECs to the extent damage to the system caused by golf ball impacts results in the Solar Facility’s underperformance.

b. The third sentence of Section 2(d) of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: “As set forth in Section 8, Sunrun will refund a portion of your Upfront Payment to you if your system does not perform as expected, unless such underperformance is due to damage caused by golf ball impact(s).”

c. A Section 8(f) shall be added to the Agreement, stating: “Sunrun shall have no obligation to honor Sections 8(a), 8(b), or 8(c) of the Agreement if the Solar Facility does not generate its Estimated Output due to damage caused by golf ball impact(s).”

Appendix VI: Suitable Roof Types

This document is intended as a guide for Sunrun sales representatives to help identify roof types suitable for solar.

All roof materials need to be in a condition suitable for a 20 year installation. Ideally a roof should be no more than 15 years old, however if it is, it may still be in acceptable condition for solar. Extremely weathered or cracked roof material is an indication it is not suitable. If the roof is not in a suitable condition for a 20 year installation, the customer will need to make necessary improvements, at their expense, before installation can proceed.

If you have a question about the suitability of a roof material for install, please contact your Account Representative prior to signing the customer.

Roof Types Suitable for Solar

 

   

Cement flat tile

 

   

Concrete S-tile

 

   

Comp shingle

 

   

Standing seam

Roof Types Not Suitable for Solar

 

   

Cal Shake

Appendix IX: Contract Guidelines

The Golden Trio

The same person who signs the agreement, must also run credit and be on the title of the home.

All parties on title should sign the agreement, at minimum one must sign. Parties are defined by legal marriage.

e.g. If husband, wife, and son are all on title, EITHER the husband OR wife must sign. Ideally the son would sign too.

Only one (1) person must run credit if there are multiple parties on title.

If the home is in a trust, the appropriate person (See section Homeowner Type > Trusts) must sign the agreement and run credit.

The Customer Agreement must be generated in the signer’s name as either the Primary or Secondary account.

If you need to add a third signer, simply add the legible printed name and signature of additional parties on the signature page of the Customer Agreement.

If the home is held in an LLC, the agreement must be generated in the name of the individual owner of the LLC.

Signers must use their full legal name as it appears on legal documents (ID, title, mortgage, etc.) when signing the Customer Agreement. No nicknames or no initials.

Always enter customer names separately in the Proposal Tool (even if they are married) – for example, no John & Jane Doe. They must be entered separately as the Primary and Secondary Customer Name.

Home ownership is confirmed by Sunrun via a title check. Sometimes title records are out of date. In this case, please provide one of the following appropriate documents to verify ownership and submit to Sunrun via the Partner Portal: mortgage statement, final closing statement, deed, county record, or property tax record.

In the case of a Power of Attorney, the POA documentation will be required.

EXHIBIT M

SUNRUN BACKGROUND CHECK REQUIREMENTS

To the extent that the Contractor Activities under this Agreement (“Services”) require Contractor employees to interact in person with Host Customers or potential Host Customers, interact with Host Customers or potential Host Customers in a sales capacity, or visit the property of a Host Customer or potential Host Customer (e.g., lead generation, sales, system installation or repair activities), Contractor shall be able to demonstrate to Sunrun that Contractor has conducted “Background Checks”, as defined below, on those Contractor employees. Further, Contractor shall decide, for each such employee, whether facts learned by Contractor from the Background Check and any following investigation indicate that the employee may pose a threat to Sunrun’s employees, Host Customers or leads, or the property of any of them in compliance with all applicable laws. If Contractor identifies such a threat, Contractor shall not assign or permit such an employee to perform any of the Services. Contractor shall allow Sunrun access to Contractor records as necessary to confirm Contractor is performing Background Checks, and maintain accurate records related to the Background Checks. If Contractor retains any subcontractors who will interact with a potential Host Customer or Host Customer or visit his/her property as described above, then Contractor shall impose the Background Check requirement on those subcontractors. Contractor shall have ninety (90) days from the Effective Date of this Agreement to comply with the terms set forth in this Exhibit M.

A “Background Check” shall, to the extent permitted by law, consist of the following:

• If the employee must drive to perform Services, confirmation the employee possesses a valid driver license appropriate for the vehicle to be driven;

• A criminal background investigation performed by a vendor of such services acceptable to Sunrun that shall include a check of felony and misdemeanor criminal convictions (federal, state and county) and pleas of guilty or nolo contendere for at least the immediately preceding ten (10) year period, or, if applicable law permits only a shorter period of time, the longest period permitted under such applicable law, as well as searches of the U.S. Government Specially Designated National (OFAC) and export denial lists;

• A check of relevant sex offender registries;

• A minimum five (5) panel drug screen for the following drugs: Amphetamine, Cannabinoids, Cocaine Metabolite, Opiates, and PCP, which shall be performed at a Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)/Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) certified lab; and

• Verification of the employee’s legal right to work in the United States, as applicable.

Warning: background checks are regulated by federal, state and local laws. For example, many laws limit the time period for investigation of criminal convictions to seven years. Many laws do not allow a blanket prohibition on hiring persons with criminal convictions but instead require employers to justify a refusal to hire someone with a prior conviction. Sunrun encourages Contractor to seek advice from competent attorneys and background check vendors in order to comply with these laws.


Note: Sunrun has contracts such as customer origination agreements with certain third parties that may impose more burdensome background check requirements on Sunrun and its subcontractors. Before Sunrun may permit Contractor to perform Services, Sunrun shall notify Contractor of such requirements. Contractor shall, as a condition to performing Services related to such third party contracts, comply with such third party’s background check requirements and satisfy any other accreditation requirements of those Sunrun contracting parties. Contractor shall be able to demonstrate its compliance with such requirements to Sunrun and maintain accurate records of such compliance allowing Sunrun to access such records to verify Contractor’s compliance upon request. If at any time within the thirty (30) days following the date Contractor learns of any new materially different Sunrun third party requirement, Contractor may elect not to comply with such requirement and so notify Sunrun and Sunrun will not assign new work to Contractor in support of such third party relationship, not already required by the Agreement.


EXHIBIT N

MARKETING COMPLIANCE GUIDELINES

Contractor hereby represents and warrants that it, or any of its Subcontractors or sales representatives, has not been the subject of a complaint, inquiry, or investigation, whether brought by a federal or state regulator, self-regulatory organization such as the Better Business Bureaus), private plaintiff, or other third party, arising out of or related to Contractor’s, or any of its Subcontractors’ or sales representatives’, compliance with Consumer Protection Laws (as defined below) within the past three (3) years. In the event Contractor, or any of its Subcontractors or sales representatives, become the subject of such a complaint, inquiry, or investigation, Contractor agrees to provide Sunrun with copies of all material documentation related to such complaint, inquiry, or investigation, including documentation sufficient to show and which fully demonstrates the steps taken to resolve the complaint, inquiry, or investigation and to prevent similar complaints, inquiries, or investigations from recurring.

If Sunrun determines, in its sole discretion, that Contractor is engaging in, or using a third party that engages in, digital marketing activities that would or be likely to harm Sunrun or detrimentally impact Sunrun’s reputation or ability to conduct its own digital marketing on any Search Engine, Contractor shall cease such activities upon written notice by Sunrun.

 

   

Contractor shall not engage in or use in any manner, or work with any third party that uses, the following digital marketing techniques: keyword stuffing, link farms, veiled text, doorway pages, page jacking, cloaking, providing automatically generated content or scraped content from another website, using third party trademarks or names with authorization, or any other “black hat” technique that would detrimentally impact the organic ranking of any Sunrun Trademark on any Search Engine or violate any Search Engines’ Terms.

Laws and regulations applicable to this provision include, without limitation, the Consumer Protection Laws.

Call List Scrubbing Responsibilities. Contractor shall possess a Subscription Account Number (“SAN”) for purposes of accessing the United States National Do Not Call Registry (“NDNCR”) as required by applicable Consumer Protection laws and shall disclose such SAN to Sunrun upon Sunrun’s request. For any calls lists that contain consumers that have not opted in/submitted their information to receive telemarketing calls, Contractor shall use its SAN number to access and scrub such call lists against (a) the NDNCR and applicable state “Do Not Call” registries, (b) any wireless or ported number lists (such as Neustar) and purge all applicable “Do Not Call” and wireless/ported numbers listed on these registries from any call lists used by Contractor. Contractor acknowledges that it must scrub all call lists against the NDNCR and wireless lists on an on-going basis before initiating any telephone solicitations, all in compliance with applicable U.S. law, including Consumer Protection Laws.


   

Agent Behavior. Contractor shall be solely responsible and liable (a) for all call agents and personnel used by Contractor and (b) for any intentional or unintentional omissions or misstatements by Contractor personnel. All Contractor call agents shall conduct all calls in compliance with applicable Law and shall not intentionally or unintentionally misstate or omit any material fact.

Call Recording. Contractor must (a) record all calls (b) provide a valid call recording notification to the individual receiving the call, (c) retain all call recordings for at least five (5) years, and (d) provide any call recording within two (2) business days upon written request by Sunrun.

Definitions:

Cash Product” shall mean a product offering in which a customer contracts with a Person for the purchase and installation of a photovoltaic system on the property of such customer.

Contractor Cash Product” shall mean a Cash Product in which Contractor is the counterparty to the contract other than the customer.

COBF Product” shall mean a Contractor Cash Product which is also a Loan Financed Product.

Online Proposal System Cash/COBF Product” shall mean those Contractor Cash Products and COBF Products, made available, from time to time, for Contractor to market and sell through the Online Proposal System. For the avoidance of doubt, the Online Proposal System Cash/COBF Products are not Sunrun Products.

Loan Financed Product” shall mean a Cash Product or a pre-paid Solar Financing Product financed (either partially or in its entirety) with a loan designed specifically for the purpose of allowing a customer to (i) purchase a photovoltaic system, or (ii) enter into contractual arrangements with a third party owner of a photovoltaic system installed on such customer’s property allowing for the customer’s use of energy generated from such system, including but not limited to, those involving the leasing of or purchasing of power from, a photovoltaic system. For the avoidance of doubt, a Loan Financed Product shall not include any photovoltaic systems owned by a customer and financed through home equity lines of credit, home equity loans, municipal financing products, or other forms of loans not offered, arranged, facilitated, or introduced by a solar company.

Cash/COBF Sales Guidelines

Contractor agrees to (i) market, sell, design, engineer, construct, install, commission and start-up Online Proposal System Cash/COBF Products (the “Cash/COBF Work”) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and (ii) abide by the following guidelines (the “CASH/COBF Sales Guidelines”) with respect to the Online Proposal System Cash/COBF Product:

1. Contractor shall not market, sell, engineer or install any Loan Financed Product using any financing program made available to Contractor under this Exhibit Q other than an Online Proposal System Cash/COBF Product. For the avoidance of doubt, the Online Proposal System Cash/COBF Products do not include Loan Financed Products consisting of prepaid Solar Financing Products (thus, Contractor may not market or sell such Loan Financed Products using any financing program facilitated by Sunrun under this Exhibit Q), whether or not such Solar Financing Products are Sunrun Products.


2. Contractor’s ability to market and sell Online Proposal System Cash/COBF Products shall be conditioned on its continued compliance with the terms of this Exhibit Q, and the terms of the Agreement and Contract generally. Sunrun may terminate Contractor’s eligibility to market and sell Online Proposal System Cash/COBF Products on written notice to Contractor, without penalty, and upon the effective date of such termination, the restrictions set forth in Section 1 shall immediately terminate. In the event that Contractor breaches Section 1 hereof, it shall pay Sunrun the sum of five hundred dollars [***] for each such violation. The Parties agree that it would be difficult to determine with certainty the damages Sunrun would suffer in the event of a breach by Contractor of Section 1 hereof and that the remedy described herein for such breach represents a mutually agreed upon liquidated damage which is fair and reasonable in light of the circumstances, and is not a penalty. The liquidated damages described in this Section 2 of Exhibit Q shall not be waived by the consequential damages waivers set forth in Section 9.1 of the Agreement or Section 11.13 of the Contract.

3. Contractor shall market, sell, engineer and install the Online Proposal System Cash/COBF Products only in the Territory, or with Sunrun’s written consent, in a geography in which Sunrun currently offers Sunrun Products.

4. Contractor shall diligently seek to obtain practicable orders for Online Proposal System Cash/COBF Products, only on such forms and agreements as are generated by the Online Proposal System and in accordance with such procedures as the parties may establish from time to time. Contractor shall contract directly with the customer for Online Proposal System Cash/COBF Products, and Sunrun shall not be a party to any financing agreement or solar installation agreement with such customer for an Online Proposal System Cash/COBF Product. For the avoidance of doubt, Sunrun shall not be responsible for any consumer default under a financing agreement related to a COBF Product, or have any other liability or responsibility with respect to any Online Proposal System Cash/COBF Product.

5. Contractor agrees not to, and shall ensure its personnel offering the Online Proposal System Cash/COBF Products do not, provide tax advice to customers or potential customers of any Online Proposal System Cash/COBF Product.

6. Contractor understands and agrees there are Laws in place which govern the manner in which Contractor may market and sell Loan Financed Products, including, without limitation, the Consumer Financial Protection Act and the Federal Trade Commission Act. Contractor represents and warrants that it will comply with all such Laws, and that with respect to Online Proposal System Cash/COBF Products, it will ensure the price for which it offers and/or sells a Contractor Cash Product to a consumer shall be the same as that for a COBF Product, before taking into account the cost of financing.

7. With the exception of permitting Contractor to use the Online Proposal System to generate certain materials related to Online Proposal System Cash/COBF Product on terms set forth in the Online Proposal System Terms of Service and this Agreement, Contractor shall be solely responsible for all activities, permits, fees and payments resulting from Cash/COBF Work performed in connection with Online Proposal System Cash/COBF Products under this Agreement.

8. Sunrun shall not (i) be responsible for or (ii) have any liability resulting from, Cash/COBF Work performed in connection with Online Proposal System Cash/COBF Products by Contractor under this Agreement. As between Sunrun and Contractor, Contractor shall be responsible for all taxes (including sales, use, excise, ad valorem, service, business, occupation or similar taxes), assessments, duties, tariffs, levies, charges and rates that are imposed by any government authority on or with respect to an Online Proposal System Cash/COBF Product or any other Contractor Cash Product or Loan Financed Product sold by Contractor.


9. Except as may be permitted in accordance with the terms of the Online Proposal System Terms of Service upon notice from Sunrun, neither Sunrun nor Contractor shall owe the other Party any revenue, royalties or other remuneration resulting from Contractor’s sale of an Online Proposal System Cash/COBF Product to any customer under this Agreement.

10. Except as expressly permitted herein, Contractor shall not include any Sunrun Trademark with, or market or brand any Online Proposal System Cash/COBF Product as a Sunrun Product, and Contractor shall not represent to any customer or third party that the Online Proposal System Cash/COBF Products are affiliated with Sunrun in any way. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Article 6 of the Agreement, with the exception of any materials, forms, or agreements generated by the Online Proposal System related to Sunrun Products presented to a potential Host Customer at the same time as an Online Proposal System Cash/COBF Product, Contactor shall not use any Sunrun Trademarks on marketing, sales, or customer material related to any Online Proposal System Cash/COBF Product, Contractor Cash Product, or COBF Product.

11. Contractor shall store, maintain, and treat all forms, agreements and other materials relating to the Online Proposal System Cash/COBF Products (the “Cash/COBF Materials”) with the same level of care as Contractor uses for its own Confidential Information, and at least a reasonable level of care, and store and permit Sunrun or a designated representative to collect any Cash/COBF Materials related to the COBF Product for at least thirty (30) days following the termination of the Agreement or Contractor’s right to sell COBF Products which are Online Proposal System Cash/COBF Products.

12. Promptly following termination of the Agreement, Contractor shall (i) remove all references to Online Proposal System Cash/COBF Products provided by any financier or facilitator of the Online Proposal System Cash/COBF Products on all sales, marketing and other customer materials and (ii) upon request by Sunrun, subject to the provisions of Section 11 relating thereto, destroy all Cash/COBF Materials.

13. Contractor is not an agent, employee, joint venturer or partner of Sunrun with respect to the Online Proposal System Cash/COBF Products. Contractor shall be solely responsible for the employment, control and conduct of all persons in its employ, and Contractor shall make all withholdings and payments of all payroll taxes and similar obligations, including income tax, social security tax, unemployment tax and worker’s compensation taxes, for each of its employees and salespersons

14. Contractor shall perform all Cash/COBF Work on Online Proposal System Cash/COBF Products in accordance with the building standards set forth in the Contract, including, without limitation, (i) ensuring that all Cash/COBF Work is of good quality and installed, constructed and accomplished in a good and workmanlike manner and using skill, care and diligence consistent with all manufacturer’s requirements and Prudent Practices (as defined in the Contract) and in compliance with applicable Law, (ii) ensuring that Contractor achieves Substantial Completion and Final Completion (as such terms are defined in the Contract) in the time frames as set forth in the Contract, and (iii) maintaining all insurance and warranty as requirements set forth in the Contract. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Cash/COBF Work Contractor performs on an Online Proposal System Cash/COBF Product shall not be pursuant to the Master Solar Facility Turnkey Contract between Sunrun and Contractor (also known as the “Contract”).


Furthermore, the Parties acknowledge and agree to the following:

1. With respect to any Cash/COBF Work performed in connection with Online Proposal System Cash/COBF Products except as is otherwise provided for herein, Contractor shall be bound by the following terms as if the Online Proposal System Cash/COBF Products were Sunrun Products Sections 2.4, 2.5, 3.2(j), 3.2(m), 3.2(n), 3.2(o), Articles 1, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 and Exhibits A, B, C, E, G, J, L, M, O, and P to this Agreement, excluding any terms that would reasonably be likely to conflict with the Cash/COBF Sales Guidelines.

2. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Cash/COBF Work performed in connection with Online Proposal System Cash/COBF Products none of the following provisions of the Agreement shall apply Articles 2 (except as is set forth above), 3 (except as is set forth above) 4 and 5 and Exhibits F, H, I, and K.

Amendment No. 3 to Amended and Restated Channel Agreement

This Amendment No. 3 (the “Amendment No. 3”) to the Amended and Restated Channel Agreement between Sunrun Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Sunrun”) and Complete Solar, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Contractor”) (Contractor and Sunrun are each hereinafter referred to as “Party”, and together as “Parties”) is effective as of the date the last Party signs (the “Amendment No. 3 Effective Date”).

WHEREAS, Sunrun and Contractor previously entered into that certain Amended and Restated Channel Agreement dated November 27, 2017, as amended (the “Agreement”) in which the Parties agreed, among other things, that Contractor would market and sell Sunrun Products on the terms and conditions set forth therein; and

WHEREAS, Sunrun and Contractor mutually desire to amend the Agreement as set forth below.

NOW THEREFORE in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants set forth herein, it is agreed:

1. The following definition is added to Section 1.1:

“’NTP Payment Period” shall have the meaning as set forth in the Master Solar Facility Turnkey Contract.

TPO Product’ means any residential solar product or offering to a customer, which is owned by a Person other than such residential customer pursuant to contractual arrangements (i.e., is third-party owned) including, but not limited to, by means of photovoltaic solar system lease arrangements or power purchase agreements.”

2. Section 2.2 of the Agreement is amended and restated as follows:

“2.2 Exclusivity.

(a) Contractor’s Obligations. For the duration of the Term, Contractor shall (i) not market or sell TPO Products that are not Sunrun Products to residential customers in the Territory; and (ii) use best efforts to cause each Subcontractor to comply with the Contractor exclusivity obligations in this Section 2.2(a) (collectively, “Exclusivity”). Breach of the provisions in this Section 2.2(a) by Contractor (including a breach resulting from any act or omission of a Subcontractor) may constitute an Exclusivity Breach as described below. In the event a salesperson, employee, or Subcontractor of Contractor markets or sells TPO Products without the approval of any executive of Contractor, and the executives of Contractor have used their best efforts to prevent any such sales by a salesperson, employee, or Subcontractor of Contractor, then such conduct shall not constitute an Exclusivity Breach. In the event that Sunrun believes Contractor or any Subcontractor has breached this Section 2.2(a), then Sunrun shall provide Contractor written notice thereof. If Contractor fails, within thirty (30) days of the earlier


(i) Contractor’s receipt of such notice or (ii) Contractor’s knowledge of the occurrence of an actual breach, to cure any actual breach of this Section 2.2(a), then such failure shall constitute an “Exclusivity Breach”. With respect to breach of this Section 2.2(a) arising from the act or omission of a Subcontractor, Contractor may cure the breach by removing such Subcontractor from participation in any Contractor Activities and no longer subcontracting with such Subcontractor for Contractor Activities. For purposes of Section 2.2(a), an act or omission of Contractor or Subcontractor that would otherwise constitute a breach of this Section 2.2(a) shall not constitute a breach if Sunrun consents to such act or omission. TPO Products sold within three (3) days after the Amendment No.3 Effective Date and TPO Products that are not Sunrun Products but exist in the Contractor’s pipeline as of the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date shall be excluded from the Contractor exclusivity obligations in Section 2.2(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the NTP Payment Period only, upon thirty (30) days written notice to Sunrun, Contract may opt out of Exclusivity and Contractor and any Subcontractor may sell TPO Products that are not Sunrun Products to residential customers in the Territory at the conclusion of such notice period (“Exclusivity Opt-Out Option”).

(b) Sunrun’s Remedies for Exclusivity Breach.

(i) Specific Performance. Contractor acknowledges and agrees that Sunrun may be damaged irreparably in the event Section 2.2 is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or otherwise is breached. Accordingly, Contractor agrees that Sunrun shall be entitled to injunctive relief (notwithstanding any pending or ongoing arbitration or litigation proceedings) to prevent breaches of Section 2.2 and if appropriate and entitled to do so under applicable Law, to enforce specifically Section 2.2, in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled at law or in equity.

(ii) Subcontractor Exclusivity Breach. The remedies described in this Section 2.2(b) shall apply to an Exclusivity Breach that arises from an act or omission of a Subcontractor as fully as if such act or omission were Contractor’s own, but only to the extent that Contractor, using best efforts, had the right and opportunity to control the applicable Subcontractor’s act or omission which led to the Exclusivity Breach or the right and opportunity to cure the act or omission which led to the Exclusivity Breach.”

3. Section 3.2 (p) is amended and restated as follows:

“act in a manner consistent with all applicable Laws, but not limited to the Consumer Protection Laws set forth in Exhibit T;”

4. A new Section 3.2(u) to the Agreement is hereby added as follows:

“adhere to and comply with the Marketing and Advertising Compliance Policy as set forth on Exhibit N and the Lead Generation and Telemarketing Guidelines as set forth on Exhibit T.”


5. A new Section 3.3(f) to the Agreement is hereby added as follows:

“in order to (i) facilitate collaboration between the Parties, (ii) encourage the exchange of Confidential Information to enable mutual success of the Agreement, and (iii) fulfill the goals of this Agreement, during the Term of the Agreement, each Party shall not, without the prior consent of the other Party, directly or indirectly solicit or attempt to solicit any current employee of the other Party, whose primary job function is sales within the Territory, to leave the employment of such Party. For the purposes of this Section 3.3(f), a general advertisement or notice of a job listing or opening or other similar general publication of a job search or availability to fill employment positions, including on the internet, shall not be construed as solicitation; and the hiring of any such employee(s) who freely responds thereto shall not be in breach of this Section 3.3(f) .”

6. Section 4.1 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

Order Submission. In connection with its performance of the Contractor Activities, Contractor shall diligently seek to obtain practicable orders for the Sunrun Products (each, an “Order”) on such forms generated by the Online Proposal System and in accordance with such procedures as the parties may establish from time to time. Contractor shall use best commercial efforts to submit a complete Initial Deal Package to Sunrun within forty-eight (48) hours of a potential Host Customer’s signature on the Solar Customer Agreement. To be considered for acceptance, upon receipt by Sunrun each Order must include (i) a completed Solar Customer Agreement with the signature of the potential Host Customer, (ii) a Deposit, if a Deposit is called for by the Solar Customer Agreement, and (iii) a completed Initial Deal Package. No Solar Customer Agreement will be binding until accepted in writing by Sunrun.”

7. Section 5.1 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

General. Sunrun may provide (at its sole discretion), and Contractor agrees to accept, sales leads pursuant to the terms of a statement of work executed by the Parties (the “Leads Program”). Sunrun reserves the right to cancel the Leads Program in its sole discretion, at any time, by providing fifteen (15) days written notice to Contractor. Any leads provided to Contractor by Sunrun pursuant to the Leads Program may only used by Contractor in connection with this Agreement and may not be transferred or provided to any third party without Sunrun’s prior written consent.”

8. Section 6.2 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

Confidentiality. Notwithstanding Section 6.1, and by way of supporting and not superseding the NDA, from the date of this Agreement through the second anniversary of the termination hereof, each Party agrees, and shall cause its respective directors, officers, employees, consultants, advisors and affiliates, to each to treat and hold as confidential (and not disclose or provide access to any person) all business, technical, financial or other information of the other disclosing Party (“Confidential Information”) including, without limitation, information relating to trade secrets, patent applications, product development, customer lists, pricing and marketing plans, policies and strategies, details of client and consultant contracts, business acquisition plans and new personnel acquisition plans. Each Party further agrees to use (and not reverse engineer) the


Confidential Information of the other disclosing Party solely for the purpose of advancing the business relationship contemplated under this Agreement as expressly permitted or directed by the disclosing Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the NDA, Host Customer Information shall be deemed Confidential Information of Sunrun, and Sunrun shall be the sole and exclusive owner thereof.”

9. The final line of Section 11.1 of the Agreement immediately following “provided, however” is amended and restated as follows:

“no such renewal shall occur if either Party delivers the other Party a non-renewal notice at least thirty (30) days before the expiration of the current term.”

SUNRUN COMPLIANCE

As stated above, this Policy applies to (i) all Sunrun employees who work for Sunrun or any of its subsidiaries whose job responsibilities include developing, preparing, creating, deploying or using in any way Marketing Materials and (ii) any channel or sales partners and vendors that use any Marketing Materials or sell Sunrun products or provide any marketing, advertising or lead generation services to Sunrun or any of its subsidiaries using Marketing Materials. To the extent that subcontracting is permitted under a partnership or vendor contract with Sunrun, we also require our partners and vendors to extend these obligations to their subcontractors.

In the context of this Policy, the term “claims” generally refers to statements about Sunrun or its services or solar offerings (generally), in any media. For example, statements (i) that consumers can save money (or lower their electric bill) by switching to solar, (ii) how much consumers can save by going solar (whether generally or with Sunrun), (iii) that indicate a Sunrun product (or any component therein) is “best in class”, or (iv) that Sunrun is #1 in a specific market, are examples of claims.

All Marketing Materials must comply with the following:

 

1.

All industry standards related to marketing or specific claims, including the California Solar and Storage Association (“CALSSA”) Consumer Protection Rules.

 

2.

General Claim Substantiation

 

  a.

All claims contained in any Marketing Materials must be true and substantiated through internal and/or external data sources and evidence. This requirement applies not only to express claims, but also to any implied claims that a reasonable consumer may take away from the Marketing Materials. The type and amount of substantiation needed will depend on the claim.

 

  b.

Substantiation of all express or implied claims contained in any Marketing Materials must be completed PRIOR to their dissemination.

 

  c.

To the extent that any express or implied claims require qualifying information or disclosures (“Disclaimers”) to prevent an advertisement from being deemed unfair or deceptive, such Disclaimers must be properly substantiated and ‘clear and conspicuously’ disclosed in the Marketing Material. What constitutes ‘clear and conspicuous’ depends on the context, but it is important that consumers can easily see, read, and understand any Disclaimers.


  d.

Disclaimers cannot contradict the claim they are referring to.

 

3.

Specific Claim Substantiation Issues

 

  a.

Substantiation claims may only be used on state or local campaigns. Nationwide substantiation claims are never permitted.

 

  b.

For “up to” savings claims, at a minimum, at least 10% of consumers must have achieved the advertised results. In some cases, a higher threshold may be required.

 

  c.

Comparisons should compare identical products or services (i.e. be made on an apples-to-apples basis). If a comparison is used between non-identical products or services (i.e. an apples-to-oranges comparison is made), all of the relevant and material differences between the products must be disclosed.

 

  d.

An unqualified comparative product performance claim – in other words, a comparison against a class of competitors without naming any specific competitor – substantiation against all or a significant portion – usually 85% – of competitors in the market is required.

 

4.

Testimonials and Endorsements

 

  a.

Testimonials must reflect typical consumer experiences. If the testimonial does not reflect a typical consumer experience, the typical consumer experience may need to be disclosed (usually through a footnote or Disclaimer).

 

  b.

Testimonials that convey an objective claim (whether express or implied) cannot be used unless that claim can be properly substantiated.

 

  c.

All endorsements and testimonials relating to Sunrun products and services must comply with the following:

 

  1.

Authorized by the endorser in writing;

 

  2.

Must be accurate, genuine and articulated in the proper context;

 

  3.

Must not include any misrepresentation whether by affirmative statement or omission;

 

  4.

Must be clear as to whether the endorser is providing an opinion as a consumer with true firsthand experience, solar expert, or well-known spokesperson; and

 

  5.

Must be transparent as to whether any connections exist between the endorser and Sunrun beyond that which a reasonable consumer would ordinarily expect (unexpected connections include whether a customer been paid to provide a testimonial).


Specific Solar Marketing Claims to Avoid

In addition to the requirements above, there are certain marketing issues unique to residential solar that are forbidden by this Policy and must be avoided at all times:

 

  1.

Incorrect or potentially misleading claims about cost savings for a consumer who installs solar or that going solar will eliminate a consumer’s electric bill;

 

  2.

Incorrect statements related to expiring governmental rebates or tax credits designed to force consumers into quick decisions;

 

  3.

Any statements or representations that improperly imply affiliation with a government entity, government program, or utility;

 

  4.

Any statements or representations that the government will pay (or has paid for) consumers to go solar;

 

  5.

Any statements or representations that any portion of going solar, other than receiving a quote, is “free” or will cost the consumer no money;

 

  6.

Specific claims promising savings, including that a customer will “always save” with solar or that they will “save up to 20 percent with solar.”

 

  7.

Any messaging designed to create a false sense of urgency for consumers to go solar;

 

  8.

Failure to clearly and conspicuously disclose a valid TCPA “opt in” statement on any consumer opt in pages; and

 

  9.

Unauthorized use of a Sunrun trademark.

TARGETING OF MARKETING

Targeting of marketing materials must be in full compliance with state and federal laws. Marketing of credit products must not be based on race, national origin, religion, age, gender or disability status.Marketing based on zip code or any proxy for prohibited characteristics is not permissible.

Sunrun prohibits any form of pre-screening consumer credit. No salesperson may check a consumer’s credit themselves. For example, a salesperson cannot run a credit check on their sales leads or referrals in order to decide whether to contact them. Nor may the Sales organization do any form of broad credit screening, such as obtaining from a credit reporting agency a list of all persons in a zip code with a minimum FICO score of 650.

BRANDING

Communicating a consistent visual representation of the Sunrun brand is essential to maintaining its strength, identity and integrity in a manner that advances the company’s mission. The Sunrun Brand Portal provides graphic standards and tools to ensure consistency in print and online communications that reinforce the Sunrun brand. The graphic standards extend to the use of all Sunrun symbols, including


wordmarks, seals, signature colors, type fonts and other elements that make up Sunrun’s visual identity. While the standards provide flexibility for co-branding where justified and approved in advance,adherence to Sunrun Branding Policy is a requirement for all third-party and partner relationships. Any time the Sunrun logo or branding is used, the Branding Guidance (available on the Branding Portal) must be followed.

Logo Usage

While a logo alone cannot communicate the entirety of a brand, the Sunrun logo is the most important representation of the company, and an important tool to leverage partnership associations with Sunrun. It should always be applied carefully, following the Guidelines Document on the Sunrun Brand Portal in order to create consistency and uphold the integrity of company values.

The Guidelines Document must be strictly adhered to. Any misuse of the Sunrun logo will be firmly pursued through proper channels. If you have any questions, please refer to the Sunrun Brand Portal.

Usage of the Sunrun logo must be approved by Sunrun and cannot be altered in any manner. All use marks will be accompanied by the appropriate trademark notice (® or TM). Trademark notice should scale proportionally with the logo.

Glyph

Our primary glyph is intended to act as a shorthand for the brand, appearing only in cases where simplified branding is better suited. The glyph should only exist in the context of the larger brand, where users have already been exposed to other Sunrun content. Its primary usage is internal branding, and should not be used by any third-party sales or channel partners without prior Sunrun approval.

Trademark

Trademarks are an important legality to keep in mind when designing with the Sunrun logo or product logo.

Why trademark symbols exist

 

   

Notify the public that Sunrun claims trademark rights

 

   

Deter others from using Sunrun marks

 

   

Support infringement claims

Choosing the right symbol

The trademark symbol: TM


   

Used when we introduce a new trademark

 

   

Alerts others that we claim a trademark

 

   

Can use indefinitely or until federal registration of the trademark

The registration symbol: ®

   

Used once federal registration of the trademark is granted

 

   

Must use TM prior to registration

 

   

Use limited to products/services listed in the registration

When a symbol should be used

The use of a trademark symbol is not required by law but using symbols is a benefit. Symbols are informal ways to tell the world that Sunrun claims ownership of trademark rights in specific words, phrases, and logos.

Branding Channels

The use of Sunrun branding in any channel run by third parties must be approved by Sunrun prior to use. This includes use in the following channels:

 

   

Offline Media: Print, OOH, Radio & TV

 

   

Direct Mail: Customer & Prospect

 

   

Email: Customer & Prospect

 

   

Digital Media: Search, Web & Mobile

 

   

Social Media: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn & YouTube

 

   

Public Relations

 

   

Sales Collateral

 

   

Trucks

 

   

Apparel

 

   

In-Store & Retail: Signage, Point of Purchase Displays, Inserts & Promotional Materials

Sunrun Approved Content

No content is to be used by any partners outside of what is available on brand.sunrun.com. This Brand Portal contains all current and up-to-date branded content and collateral, and should be referenced regularly for updated materials and policy changes. No original content should be created without the involvement and approval of Sunrun.


TRAINING

Marketing and Sales staff are required to comply with this policy. To facilitate understanding and compliance, Sunrun will provide training on this policy, specifically including permissible and prohibited claims, to marketing and sales staff at least annually.

ENFORCEMENT & REPORTING

Sunrun

Sunrun’s Marketing Team is responsible for creating and developing all Marketing Materials as well as providing the proper evidence and support for all express and implied claims included in any Marketing Materials. Sunrun Legal is available to assist and answer questions relating to the development and deployment of Marketing Materials.

All Marketing Materials shall be submitted to Sunrun Legal to review prior to dissemination. Sunrun’s Marketing Team shall provide any additional information as requested by Sunrun Legal. Requests for review should be initiated by an email to MarketingLegal@sunrun.com and Sunrun Legal will perform initial review within three days. In the event Legal review is not completed in a timely manner, the matter may be escalated to the General Counsel. Marketing materials may not be used until Legal review is completed.

Sunrun’s Vendors and Partners

While vendors and partners (including channel and sales partners) may prepare their own Marketing Materials, to ensure vendors and partners abide by this Policy, Sunrun may conduct periodic audits of its vendors or partners or ask them to conduct a third party audit at their expense to ensure compliance with this Policy and applicable laws and regulations. Vendors and partners must cooperate with any information requests (including, without limitation, providing Marketing Materials) or audits Sunrun may initiate or request to confirm their fulfillment of these responsibilities. If there is a reasonable basis to believe a vendor or partner is in violation of this Policy or a vendor, partner or their affiliate or subcontractor fails to cooperate with a Sunrun information request or audit, Sunrun may permanently terminate its relationship with such vendor or partner or impose restrictions on future business unless the violation is promptly corrected. Sunrun may also request that a vendor or partner complete and provide a third party audit at its own expense.

Reporting

Sunrun expects its employees, partners, vendors, and their affiliates or subcontractors to follow the law and the requirements of this Policy, and promptly report any actual or suspected violations, including violations by any Sunrun employee or individual acting on behalf of Sunrun or one of its vendors.

SUNRUN VENDOR CODE OF CONDUCT


Sunrun Vendor Code of Conduct

(Adopted on January 1, 2019)

OUR VALUES

 

LOGO

Sunrun’s mission is to create a planet run by the sun. To accomplish that mission, Sunrun believes in being a global citizen with a responsibility to minimize our environmental impact in all aspects of our operations, providing a safe and diverse place to work for our employees, and ensuring robust corporate governance practices. For Sunrun, this is the definition of good business, and one that we believe will make the strongest long-term impact on society. As Sunrun communicates to its own employees, its commitment to doing business ethically and legally means that we will only work with vendors and suppliers who share the same commitment.

To be a part of the Sunrun team means to operate with absolute integrity. Because Sunrun places such a high priority on ethical and legal conduct, we require all of our vendors to read, understand and comply with our Vendor Code of Conduct (“Code”) and all other conditions of doing business with Sunrun. This Code goes beyond mere compliance with the law. When differences arise between standards and legal requirements, the stricter standard shall apply, in compliance with applicable law.

The Code applies to all vendors who provide goods and services to Sunrun or any of its subsidiaries. Failure to conduct business in a manner that meets these standards could result in a termination of the vendor relationship with Sunrun.

This document summarizes Sunrun’s expectations from its vendors, sub-vendors and their workers. No code can cover all policies or laws, so if you have any questions about any of the information in this Code, or what is expected of you, please email audit@sunrun.com.

In addition, if you suspect unethical or illegal business practices, it is your responsibility to report them using the resources identified in this Code.

Thank you for your commitment to upholding our high standards of conduct. Together, we can maintain and build upon Sunrun’s reputation for respect and excellence.


RESPONSIBILITIES OF SUNRUN VENDORS

Sunrun requires all of its vendors to abide by the following standards while conducting business with or on behalf of Sunrun:

BUSINESS INTEGRITY AND ETHICS

Ethics

Sunrun is committed to conducting its business in accordance with the highest ethical standards and in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. We expect our vendors to share our values and uphold our standards. We also expect our vendors to develop policies and programs as appropriate to ensure that all workers understand and adhere to these standards, as well as those set forth in the Sunrun Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

Conflicts of Interest

Sunrun employees are required to avoid not only conflicts of interest, but also activities that could give the appearance that a vendor improperly influenced them in order to receive favorable treatment. Sunrun’s vendors are required to avoid actions that may result in conflicts of interest, which include offering, providing or reimbursing personal gifts, favors, personal travel expenses, lodging, or other housing, services of any kind, excessive meals or entertainment, or any other thing of value to Sunrun employees.

Vendors are required to promptly disclose all information regarding financial and personal relationships, arrangements with Sunrun employees, representatives, or their close relatives, as that could appear to influence the outcome of an agreement and potentially create a conflict of interest.

Anti-Corruption & Money Laundering

Vendors are required to comply with all applicable anti-corruption and money laundering laws including, but not limited to, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Under no circumstances may a vendor working for Sunrun offer, promise or provide anything of value directly or indirectly to a government official for the purpose of exerting improper influence or to obtain or retain an improper benefit or advantage.

Whistleblower Protection

Sunrun is committed to maintaining high standards of financial integrity and takes very seriously all complaints and concerns regarding accounting, internal accounting controls, auditing and other legal matters, including violations of Sunrun’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Sunrun prohibits retribution or retaliation in any way against any person who has in good faith made a complaint or reported a concern, or against any person who assists in any investigation. Sunrun requires that vendors also strive for open communication of their workforce to raise these types of concerns without fear of retaliation.

WORKING CONDITIONS, LABOR PRACTICES AND HUMAN RIGHTS

Slavery, Human Trafficking & Involuntary Labor

Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, and Sunrun recognizes its responsibility to protect human rights. Vendors must not use forced labor — slave, prison, indentured, bonded, or otherwise — and Sunrun will not knowingly work with vendors who engage in these practices or permit their subcontractors to engage in these practices. Working must be voluntary, and workers must be free to leave work and terminate their employment or other work status with reasonable notice.

Additionally, vendors must not engage in or support human trafficking and are encouraged to implement due diligence measures to ensure that no human trafficking exists within their extended supply chains.

Child Labor

Sunrun does not tolerate the use of underage labor and will not knowingly work with vendors that utilize underage workers. Sunrun defines underage workers as any individual younger than the local minimum working age or the age of 15, whichever older, and/or those not abiding by the international standards as defined by the International Labor Organization (“ILO”) regarding age appropriate work governing family farming. Furthermore, workers under the age of 18 must not perform hazardous work. Sunrun expects its Vendors to comply with all age-related working restrictions as set by local law and adhere to international standards as defined by the ILO regarding age appropriate work.

Working Hours

Vendors should not require workers to work more than the regular and overtime hours allowed by the law of the jurisdiction where such workers are employed or perform work.

Discrimination

Vendors must treat their workers with respect and dignity at all times. Sunrun requires its vendors to comply with all applicable laws regarding discrimination in hiring and employment practices. We expect vendors to maintain a workplace free of discrimination, harassment, victimization, and any other form of inappropriate behavior or abuse, and to employ workers based on their ability to perform the work, without regard to irrelevant characteristics such as age, disability, genetic information, medical condition, ethnic or national origin, gender, gender identity, gender expression, ancestry, nationality, race, color, sex (including pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding or related medical conditions), sexual orientation, marital status, political affiliation, religious beliefs, union affiliation, military or veteran status, or any unlawful criterion under applicable law. All vendors will ensure that workers receive equal treatment in all aspects of employment regardless of race, ethnicity or gender.

Wages and Benefits

Sunrun encourages its vendors to commit to the betterment of wages and benefits to improve the lives of workers and their families. Compensation paid to workers should comply with all applicable wage laws, including those relating to minimum wages, overtime hours and legally mandated benefits. Compensation shall be provided in a way that is timely and easily understood. Deductions from wages as a disciplinary measure are not permitted. Sunrun recommends that vendors offer their workers ample training and educational opportunities.

Vendor Diversity and Inclusion

Diversity is a social and economic imperative and Sunrun encourages its vendors to share this belief. Vendors are expected to demonstrate a commitment to inclusive business practices, including diversity in their workplace, and deliver innovative solutions that reflect diverse experiences, thoughts, and identities throughout their business.

Freedom of Association

Sunrun seeks to work with vendors who productively engage workers and value them as critical assets to sustainable business success. This includes respecting the rights of workers to make informed decisions as to whether to associate or not with any group, consistent with all applicable laws. Vendors are expected to permit workers to openly communicate and share grievances with management about working conditions without fear of reprisal or harassment.

 

3


HEALTH AND SAFETY

Health & Safety

Sunrun is committed to ensuring safe and injury-free workplaces. Achieving this goal requires the support, commitment and dedication of Sunrun’s vendors. Vendors are required to:

 

   

Provide workers with a safe and healthy work environment.

 

   

Fully comply with all applicable health and safety laws, regulations, and practices, including those relating to occupational safety, emergency preparedness, occupational injury and illness, industrial hygiene, physically demanding work, machine safeguarding, sanitation, food, and housing.

 

   

Demonstrate a cultural commitment to maintaining a safe working environment, and take adequate steps to minimize the causes of hazards inherent in the working environment.

 

   

Ensure that all required permits, licenses and registrations are obtained, maintained and kept up-to-date.

 

   

Ensure that all workers are qualified and equipped to perform activities safely and responsibly.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND SUSTAINABILITY

Environment

Sunrun strives to work with vendors that share its commitment to a better, greener and kinder planet. Sunrun strives to minimize its environmental impact in all aspects of its operations, and seeks to do business with vendors that embody this goal.

Responsible Mineral Sourcing

Sunrun expects its vendors to provide it only with products that contain responsibly sourced commodities. Vendors that supply products that include minerals sourced from conflict-affected and high-risk areas (including, but not limited to, cobalt, wolframite (titanium), cassiterite (tin), tungsten, or gold) must ensure that the sourcing of these minerals does not knowingly contribute — directly or indirectly — to armed conflict, including terrorist financing or human rights violations. Sunrun expects the sourcing of these minerals to occur in a manner consistent with the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas.

PROTECTION OF ASSETS AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Intellectual Property

Vendors are required to protect Sunrun’s intellectual property including trademarks, patents, copyrights, business methodologies, and trade secrets. Vendors may not use any of Sunrun’s intellectual property or confidential information except as provided in the vendor’s contract. Vendors have a duty to keep proprietary information strictly confidential and protected from disclosure.

Security and Privacy

Sunrun expects its vendors to protect confidential information. Vendors must comply with all applicable privacy, data protection, and information security laws and regulations. Vendors must adopt and maintain processes to provide reasonable protections for personal, proprietary and confidential information, including information that they access, receive or process on Sunrun’s behalf. Vendors should recognize that unauthorized use or disclosure of any such information may have personal, legal, reputational and financial consequences for the vendor, individuals whose personal information may be impacted, and for Sunrun.

REPORTING

Monitoring and Enforcement

To ensure vendors abide by this Code, Sunrun may conduct periodic audits of its vendors to ensure compliance with this Code and applicable laws and regulations. Vendors will cooperate with any information requests or audits Sunrun may initiate to confirm their fulfillment of these responsibilities. If there is a reasonable basis to believe a vendor is in violation of this Code, Sunrun may terminate its relationship with such vendor and impose restrictions on future business unless the violation is promptly corrected. Sunrun aims to survey vendors that comprise at least 80% of total value transacted with Sunrun, along with new vendors, seeking affirmations that the vendor is aware of and compliant with the Code. Sunrun requires statements of compliance be completed and executed by an officer employed by the vendor.
