On July 18, 2011, SunPower Corporation (“SunPower” or the “Company”) and certain subsidiary guarantors listed below entered into a Credit Agreement with Union Bank, N.A. (such agreement, the “Revolving Credit Facility”).
 
Until October 28, 2011 (the “Final Availability Date”), SunPower may borrow up to $50,000,000 under the Revolving Credit Facility, unless such availability is reduced under circumstances specified therein. Amounts borrowed may be repaid and reborrowed until the Final Availability Date. Any outstanding amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility are due and payable on October 31, 2011.
 
SunPower is required to pay interest on outstanding borrowings of, at SunPower's option, (1) LIBOR plus 2.75% or (2) 1.75% plus a base rate equal to the higher of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, or (b) Union Bank's reference rate as announced from time to time; a front-end fee of 0.15% on the total amount available for borrowing; and a commitment fee of 0.50% per annum, calculated on a daily basis, on funds available for borrowing and not borrowed. 
 
The obligations of SunPower under the Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by its wholly owned subsidiaries SunPower North America, LLC and SunPower Corporation, Systems.
 
The Revolving Credit Facility includes representations, covenants, and events of default customary for financing transactions of this type. The Revolving Credit Facility will be terminated, and amounts due thereunder must be prepaid, upon the closing of any new domestic credit facility in favor of SunPower or any of its subsidiaries.
