Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally agrees to make loans to the Borrower (such loans individually, a “Construction Loan” and collectively, the “Construction Loans”) from time to time during the Construction Loan Availability Period for each applicable Project, but not more often than once in a calendar month and no later than the 20^th of any calendar month (except for Borrowings of Construction Loans made solely with respect to the payment of the interest under Section 2.13 and the fees under Section 2.6 and except for the first two (2) disbursements, which may be made within the same calendar month), in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in such (i) Lender’s Construction Loans exceeding such Lender’s Construction Loan Commitment and (ii) Lender’s Construction Loans for such Project exceeding the Lender’s Construction Loan Commitment allocated to such Project as set forth on Annex 2; provided, however, that the Construction Loan Commitment allocated to such Project as set forth on Annex 2 shall be determined prior to the initial Borrowing of any Construction Loans for such Project based on the debt sizing parameters set forth on Annex 5; provided, further, however, Annex 2 may be updated after the initial Borrowing of any Construction Loan for such Project in accordance with Section 2.25. Each Lender’s remaining Construction Loan Commitment allocated to such Project shall be reduced to zero on the earlier of, with respect to such Project, (i) the last Business Day of the applicable Construction Loan Availability Period and (ii) the applicable Construction Loan Maturity Date (for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of the Lenders’ remaining Construction Loan Commitment shall not be cancelled and shall be available for re-borrowing under this Section 2.1 for a new Project), all on and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the prior sentence, for the avoidance of doubt, each Lender’s remaining Construction Loan Commitment hereunder for all Projects shall be reduced to zero on the last Business Day of the Construction Loan Availability Period for the last Project. Within such limits, Borrower may from time to time borrow under this Section 2.1 in respect of a Project, prepay the Loans allocated to such Project in whole or in part pursuant to Section 2.7 or Section 2.8, and re-borrow under this Section 2.1 for a new Project, all on and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Construction Loans may from time to time be LIBOR Loans or Base Rate Loans, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.11.

2.2 Procedures for Construction Loan Borrowing and Repayment of Construction Loans.

(a) Procedures for Construction Loan Borrowing. The Borrower may borrow under the Construction Loan Commitments allocated to Projects during the applicable Construction Loan Availability Period for such Project on any Business Day (subject to the limitations in Section 2.1) provided that the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent an irrevocable appropriately completed written notice in the form of Exhibit A-1 (a “Construction Loan Notice of Borrowing”), as applicable, which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 10:00 A.M., New York time, five (5) Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing date, specifying, among other things: (a) the amount of the requested Borrowing, which shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 (except for the amount made on the Borrower’s final requested

	35

Borrowing for such Project) and in whole multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof; (b) the date of the requested Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day, and whether such Borrowing shall consist of Base Rate Loans and/or LIBOR Loans; (c) in the case of LIBOR Loans, the initial Interest Period(s) selected by the Borrower and (d) the Project to which such Borrowing relates.

If the Borrower elects a LIBOR Loan and changes the date of a Borrowing by 10:00 A.M. New York time within three (3) Business Days of the date of such Borrowing, the Borrower shall reimburse the Lenders for Breakage Costs, if any, incurred as a result thereof in accordance with Section 2.21. The Administrative Agent shall promptly, and in any event within two (2) Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing date in the case of LIBOR Loans, notify each Lender of the contents of such notice.

(b) Repayment of Construction Loans. With respect to any Project, the Borrower shall repay to the Lenders on the applicable Construction Loan Maturity Date all outstanding Construction Loans due and payable on such date for such Project.

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, (a) each DSR Issuing Bank agrees to make DSR LC Loans to the Borrower in respect of each DSR Letter of Credit issued by it in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding which does not exceed an amount equal to the DSR LC Commitment of such DSR LC Issuing Bank (less the Available Amount with respect to, and any unreimbursed Drawings under, such DSR Letters of Credit issued by such DSR LC Issuing Bank), and (b) each Project LC Issuing Bank agrees to make Project LC Loans to the Borrower in respect of the Project Letters of Credit issued by it in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding which does not exceed an amount equal to the Project LC Commitment of such Project LC Issuing Bank (less the Available Amount with respect to, and any unreimbursed Drawings under, such Project Letters of Credit issued by such Project LC Issuing Bank), in each case deemed made in accordance with Section 2.16(e). Each Issuing Bank’s LC Commitments for an applicable Project, shall be reduced to zero on the LC Commitment Termination Date for such Project (for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of each Issuing Bank’s LC Commitment shall not be cancelled and shall be available for re-issuance under this Section 2.3 for a new Project). Notwithstanding the above and for the avoidance of doubt, each Issuing Bank’s LC Commitments allocated to all Projects, shall be reduced to zero on the Final Maturity Date.

2.4 Repayment of LC Loans. With respect to any Project, the Borrower shall repay to the Issuing Banks on the applicable LC Loan Maturity Date all outstanding LC Loans due and payable on such date for such Project. Notwithstanding the above and for the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall repay to the Issuing Banks on the Final Maturity Date all outstanding LC Loans due and payable on such date.

(A) Each DSR Issuing Bank agrees to issue each DSR Letter of Credit for each Project, for the account of the Borrower, on the date the applicable Project for which such DSR Letter of Credit is being issued reaches COD, in the maximum stated amount equal to such DSR LC Commitment allocated to such Project set forth on Annex 2 of each DSR Issuing Bank issuing such DSR Letter of Credit; and

(B) the Project LC Issuing Bank agrees to issue each Project Letter of Credit for each Project, for the account of the Borrower, as and when requested by the Borrower in the maximum stated amount equal to the Project LC Commitment allocated to such Project set forth on Annex 2 of the Project LC Issuing Bank issuing such Project LC Letter of Credit.

		CREDIT AGREEMENT (SunPower HoldCo)

(ii) Each Letter of Credit shall (A) be denominated in Dollars; (B) expire no later than the earlier of (1) twelve (12) months from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit and (2) the date that is seven (7) Business Days prior to the applicable LC Commitment Termination Date for such Project in respect of which such Letter of Credit relates; provided that each Letter of Credit shall provide for renewal, in the sole discretion of and on terms acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank. for one (1) or more additional twelve 12 month periods (which in no event shall extend beyond the applicable LC Commitment Termination Date for such Project in respect of which such Letter of Credit relates) and provided that Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Bank USA shall not be required to have outstanding more than ten (10) Letters of Credit and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, shall not be obligated to issue any commercial or trade (as opposed to standby) Letter of Credit and (C) provided that, in respect of each DSR Letter of Credit issued in respect of a Project by each DSR Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent shall draw on each such DSR Letter of Credit issued for each such Project and available to be drawn on a pro rata basis among all such DSR Letters of Credit that are outstanding for such Project at such time based on the DSR LC Commitment allocated to each such DSR Issuing Bank in regards to such Project. Each Letter of Credit shall provide that the available amount thereunder shall be irrevocably reduced by each Drawing made by the applicable beneficiary pursuant to such Letter of Credit (such amount for each such Letter of Credit, as so reduced from time to time, outstanding at any time, the “Available Amount”), subject to Section 2.16(m) in the case of Letters of Credit issued for subsequent Projects. Each Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders, of any changes in the Available Amount of the Letter of Credit issued by it or the expiration date of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice, or notice of a Drawing, shall not limit or impair the rights of such Issuing Bank hereunder and under the Loan Documents.

(iii) No Issuing Bank shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if such issuance would conflict with, or cause such Issuing Bank to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Governmental Rule or if the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the Issuing Bank now or hereafter applicable to letters of credit generally.

(b) Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Borrower may request that an Issuing Bank issue the applicable Letter of Credit by delivering to such Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent, at the applicable addresses for notices specified herein, a LC Issuance Notice, substantially in the form of Exhibit G, and a letter of credit application in such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a letter of credit, completed to the satisfaction of such Issuing Bank, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as such Issuing Bank may request. Upon receipt of such LC Issuance Notice and such application and the satisfaction of the conditions precedent in Section 3.3 and Section 3.4 in respect of such Project, such Issuing Bank will process such application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue such Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall such Issuing Bank be required to issue such Letter of Credit earlier than three (3) Business Days after its receipt of the LC Issuance Notice and

	44
		CREDIT AGREEMENT (SunPower HoldCo)

application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by such Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Each Issuing Bank shall furnish a copy of the Letter of Credit issued by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly following the issuance thereof. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Lenders, notice of the issuance of such Letter of Credit.

(c) Fees and Other Charges. In addition to the fees payable pursuant to Section 2.6, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse each Issuing Bank for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by such Issuing Bank in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering the Letter of Credit issued by it.

(d) Drawings. In the event that a Drawing is made on any Letter of Credit on or prior to the applicable LC Commitment Termination Date, (i) the applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders, of such Drawing, and (ii) any payment by such Issuing Bank of such Drawing shall, to the extent provided in Section 2.16(e) below, constitute the making by such Issuing Bank of a LC Loan to the Borrower in the amount of such Drawing. In such event, any Issuing Bank making a LC Loan shall be entitled to the same rights and remedies in respect of such LC Loans as any Lender that has made a Construction Loan has in respect of such Construction Loans hereunder. All such LC Loans made with respect to Drawings under the related Letter of Credit under this Section 2.16 shall be secured by the Security Documents as if made directly to the Borrower.

(e) Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower.

(A) If a Drawing is paid under any Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for the amount of such Drawing so paid by paying to the Issuing Bank an amount equal to such Drawing in Dollars, no later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the date the Borrower receives notice thereof, subject to this Section 2.16(e). So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if any Drawing is paid under any Letter of Credit issued by the related Issuing Bank, the payment by such Issuing Bank of such Drawing shall constitute the making of a DSR LC Loan or Project LC Loan, as applicable, by such Issuing Bank to the Borrower in the amount of such Drawing, and to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting LC Loans. In addition, regardless of whether a DSR LC Loan or Project LC Loan is made, the Borrower shall reimburse such Issuing Bank for any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by such Issuing Bank in connection with the payment of any such Drawing not later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice of such Drawing, if such notice is received on such day prior to 10:00 A.M., New York City time, or (ii) if clause (i) above does not apply, the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice. Each such payment shall be made to the applicable Issuing Bank at its address for notices referred to herein in

	45
		CREDIT AGREEMENT (SunPower HoldCo)

Dollars and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on any LC Loans made by any Issuing as a result of any Drawing from the date on which the relevant Drawing is paid until payment in full.

(B) If the Borrower fails to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any payment made by any Issuing Bank for any Drawing (other than the funding of such Drawing with LC Loans as contemplated above) such payment shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its Reimbursement Obligations with respect to such Drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”) except to the extent such Drawing is funded with an LC Loan.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.16 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower may have or have had against any Issuing Bank, the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other Person or the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default. The Borrower also agrees with the Issuing Banks that the Issuing Banks shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents (including, without limitation, any Letter of Credit or this Agreement or any other Loan Document) or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which any Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee. No Issuing Bank shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with the related Letters of Credit, except for errors or omissions found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Bank. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by any Issuing Bank under or in connection with the related Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of any Issuing Bank to the Borrower.

(g) Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of any Issuing Bank to the Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under the applicable Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under the such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with the such Letter of Credit.

(h) Applications. To the extent that any provision of any letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into with, any Issuing Bank related to the applicable Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.

	46
		CREDIT AGREEMENT (SunPower HoldCo)

(i) LC Loan Interest. The Borrower shall pay interest with respect to all LC Loans resulting from all Drawings pursuant to Section 2.13; provided, however, upon the occurrence of any Drawing, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected the interest rate based on the then-applicable Base Rate. Thereafter, LC Loans may from time to time be LIBOR Loans or Base Rate Loans, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.11.

(j) Interim Interest. If any Issuing Bank shall make any payment in respect of a Drawing, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such Drawing in full on the date such Drawing is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such Drawing is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such Drawing (including by the making of an LC Loan), at the rate per annum then applicable to Base Rate Loans; provided that if such Drawing is not reimbursed by the Borrower when due pursuant to Section 2.16(e), then Section 2.13(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank.

(k) Return of Letters of Credit. On the day that any Letter of Credit expires by its terms, the Borrower shall cause the original of such Letter of Credit to be returned by the applicable beneficiary to such Issuing Bank.

(l) Modifications and Supplements. The issuance by an Issuing Bank of any modification or supplement to any Letter of Credit (other than a reduction or release thereof or as contemplated by Section 2.16(m)) in accordance with this Agreement shall be subject to the same conditions as are applicable under this Section 2.16 and Section 3.4 to the issuance of new Letters of Credit, and no such modification or supplement shall be issued hereunder unless either (i) the respective Letter of Credit affected thereby would have complied with such conditions had it originally been issued hereunder in such modified or supplemented form or (ii) the applicable Issuing Bank shall have consented thereto.

(m) Adjustments to Amounts Available for Drawing. To the extent that any time prior to November 4, 2020 (i) any Letter of Credit issued for a Project is (A) returned by the Beneficiary thereof and requested to be cancelled by the Beneficiary thereof; (B) expires by its terms or (C) drawn and then such resulting Reimbursement Obligation or LC Loan, as applicable, is fully repaid, then, in each such case, the LC Commitment of the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall be increased (aa) by the stated amount of such cancelled or returned LC and (bb) by the amount of the Reimbursement Obligations paid or LC Loans paid, in each such case, by the Borrower. After such LC Commitment is increased, such LC Commitment shall be available to be allocated by the Borrower to new Projects pursuant to and in accordance with the terms hereof.

(n) Resignation as Issuing Bank. Any Issuing Bank may, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower, resign as an Issuing Bank. In the event of any such resignation as an Issuing Bank, Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Issuing Bank hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of any Issuing Bank. When an Issuing Bank resigns as an Issuing Bank, it shall retain all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an Issuing Bank hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit

	47
		CREDIT AGREEMENT (SunPower HoldCo)

that it issued, including Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as Issuing Bank and all LC Obligations with respect thereto. Upon the appointment of a successor Issuing Bank by the Borrower, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Issuing Bank as the case may be, (b) the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank to effectively assume the obligations of such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit and (c) the resigning Issuing Bank shall assign its LC Commitment to issue Letters of Credit to such successor Issuing Bank.

(o) Cash Collateralization. In the event that:

(i) any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, (i) in the case of an Event of Default described in Section 7.5 on the Business Day or (ii) in the case of any other Event of Default, on the third Business Day, following the date on which the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Issuing Bank demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to Section 7, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Issuing Banks, an amount in cash equal to the sum of (A) 105% of the total Available Amounts of the Letters of Credit and LC Obligations as of such date plus (B) any accrued and unpaid interest thereon (the “Cash Collateral”); provided that, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in Section 7.5, the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable in Dollars, without demand or other notice of any kind. The Borrower also shall deposit cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.8. Each such deposit pursuant to this paragraph or pursuant to Section 2.8 shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each Issuing Bank, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security and the Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of (i) for so long as an Event of Default shall be continuing, the Administrative Agent and (ii) at any other time, the Borrower, in each case, in Permitted Investments and at the risk and expense of the Borrower, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable Issuing Banks for payments in respect of Drawings for which such Issuing Banks has not been repaid and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrower in respect of the applicable Letters of Credit at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 7.18), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an

	48
		CREDIT AGREEMENT (SunPower HoldCo)

Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three (3) Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral pursuant to Section 2.8, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower as and to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, the Borrower would remain in compliance with Section 2.8 and no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(p) Letters of Credit Issued for Borrower Parties. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of a Borrower Party, subject to Section 2.16(e), Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder for any and all Drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower Party and the Pledgors acknowledge that the issuance of Letters of Credit in support of the obligations of the Borrower Parties inures to the benefit of the Borrower and such Pledgor and the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Borrower Parties.

(q) Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Issuing Bank and Borrower, when a Letter of Credit is issued or when it is amended with the consent of the beneficiary thereof, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit and as to all matters not governed thereby, the law of the State of New York. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Issuing Bank shall be responsible to the Borrower for, and each Issuing Bank’s rights and remedies against Borrower shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of such Issuing Bank or permitted under any law, order or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the law or any order of a jurisdiction where such Issuing Bank or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade-International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such law or practice.

(r) The effectiveness of any non-renewal, cancellation or non-issuance of any Letter of Credit pursuant to Sections 2.16(a)(ii) or 2.16(a)(iii) shall be conditioned upon the delivery of at least 90-days advance written notice (or shorter advance written notice if it relates to non-issuance) from the relevant Issuing Bank of the relevant Letter of Credit to the Borrower regarding the same (an “LC Notice”). In the event that any Issuing Bank has delivered an LC Notice, the Borrower shall have the right to replace the Issuing Bank pursuant to the terms of this paragraph (r). In the event that the Borrower elects to exercise its rights to replace the Issuing Bank, it shall first deliver a notice to the relevant Issuing Bank then party to this Agreement requesting that one of the other existing Lenders replace the terminating Issuing Bank of the relevant Letter of Credit, as may be the case. If an existing Lender agrees to replace the such Issuing Bank on the same terms as those provided by the Issuing Bank of the relevant Letter of Credit being replaced, then the Issuing Bank of the relevant Letter of Credit being replaced shall assign, and such existing other Lender shall accept, the assignment of the role of the Issuing Bank of the relevant Letter of Credit and related LC Obligations together with all (and not less than all) of the LC Commitments held by such Issuing Bank pursuant to documentation reasonably acceptable to the parties to such assignment and the Borrower. If no existing Lender

	49
		CREDIT AGREEMENT (SunPower HoldCo)

has agreed to replace such Issuing Bank of the relevant Letter of Credit within 30 days of such request by the Borrower, then the Borrower may elect to have a financial institution that is not an existing Lender replace the terminating Issuing Bank of the relevant Letter of Credit through an assignment by the Issuing Bank of its LC Commitments and Letters of Credit in accordance with this Agreement (however, no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required) and the Issuing Bank of the relevant Letter of Credit being replaced shall assign all (and not less than all) of its LC Commitments and Letters of Credit pursuant to documentation reasonably acceptable to the parties to such assignment.

2.17 General Loan Funding Terms; Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.

(a) (i) Each Notice of Borrowing and notice of conversion of Loans shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the notice provisions of Section 9.2. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents of such notices.

(ii) No later than 1:00 P.M., New York time, on a date of a requested Borrowing set forth in a timely delivered Notice of Borrowing, if the applicable conditions precedent listed in Section 3.1, Section 3.2 and Section 3.3 have been satisfied or waived, each Lender shall make available the Loans, as applicable, requested in the Notice of Borrowing in Dollars and in immediately available funds, and shall deposit such funds into the Construction Account for the applicable Project for immediate application pursuant to the Depositary Agreement.

(iii) [Intentionally Omitted].

(b) Each Borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder and each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee shall be made pro rata according to the respective Proportionate Shares of such Loans, as the case may be, of the relevant Lenders.

(c) Each payment (except as otherwise set forth in Sections 2.7, 2.8 and 2.9) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Construction Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of such Loans then held by the Lenders.

All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 10:00 A.M., New York time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Agent and each Lender and each Issuing Bank (as the case may be) at its account identified in Annex 1 from time to time, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to each relevant Person promptly upon receipt in like funds as received, net of any amounts owing by such Lender pursuant to Section 9.8. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the LIBOR Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding sentence or the definition of Interest Period, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

	50
		CREDIT AGREEMENT (SunPower HoldCo)

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a Borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon, at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three (3) Business Days after such Borrowing date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans, on demand, from the Borrower.

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the Borrower hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three (3) Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.

(f) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Sections 2.17(d), 2.17(e) or 9.8, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Banks for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, provided, for the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding the application of amounts received from the Borrower (including in respect of Debt Service, interest payments, fee payments or other obligations) to satisfy such Lender’s obligations, the receipt of payments from the Borrower will credit the obligations of the Borrower so paid.

2.18 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:

(a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the

	51
		CREDIT AGREEMENT (SunPower HoldCo)

relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period, or

(b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders that the LIBOR Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x) any LIBOR Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Base Rate Loans, (y) any Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to LIBOR Loans shall be continued as Base Rate Loans and (z) any outstanding LIBOR Loans shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to Base Rate Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent (at the direction or with the consent of such notifying Lenders), no further LIBOR Loans shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans to LIBOR Loans.

2.19 Legal Requirements. (a) If the adoption of or any change in any Legal Requirement or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

(i) shall subject any Lender to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, the Letters of Credit, any application with respect to the Letters of Credit or any LIBOR Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes covered by Section 2.20 and changes in the net income tax rate, franchise tax rate or branch profits tax rate of such Lender);

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBOR Rate; or

(iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount that such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining LIBOR Loans or issuing the Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.

	52
		CREDIT AGREEMENT (SunPower HoldCo)

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Legal Requirement regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of the Letters of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation for such reduction.

(c) A certificate describing in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.19 for any amounts incurred more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such nine-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.19 shall apply to all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy issued in connection with the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, regardless of the date adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented and this Section shall apply to all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued or implemented.

2.20 Taxes.

(a) To the extent permitted by law, payments made by the Loan Parties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto (“Taxes”). If any Taxes, excluding net income taxes, franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) and branch profits taxes imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection between the Administrative Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than

Agent and each Lender agree to use reasonable efforts to give notice to the Borrower of the assertion of any claim against the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, relating to such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes reasonably promptly after the principal officer of the Administrative Agent or such Lender responsible for administering this Agreement has actual knowledge of such claim; provided that the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s failure to notify Borrower of such assertion shall not relieve Borrower of its obligation under this Section 2.20(c). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by any Loan Party, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by such Loan Party showing payment thereof, if available, or such other evidence of payment that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or the relevant Lender.

Such forms shall be delivered by each U.S. Lender or Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation) and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. In addition, each U.S. Lender or Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Lender, and shall deliver extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent.

Notwithstanding any other provision of

	55
		CREDIT AGREEMENT (SunPower HoldCo)

this paragraph, a U.S. Lender or Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(g) If a payment made to a Lender would be subject to United States withholding Tax imposed under FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

(h) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.20, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.20 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

(i) The agreements in this Section 2.20 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of LIBOR Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from LIBOR Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment of LIBOR Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto (“Breakage Costs”). Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.22 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.19 or 2.20(a) with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20(a).

2.23 Replacement of Lenders. If (a) any Lender requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20(a) or (b) any Lender defaults in its obligation to make Loans hereunder, the Borrower shall have the right, exercisable on five (5) Business Days prior written notice delivered to the applicable Lender, to replace such Lender; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Governmental Rule, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 2.22 so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20(a), (iv) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (v) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.21 if any LIBOR Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (vi) the replacement financial institution shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vii) such replacement shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.7 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to in Section 9.7), (viii) until such

	57
		CREDIT AGREEMENT (SunPower HoldCo)

time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20(a), as the case may be, (ix) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender and (x) in the case of a Lender that is an Issuing Bank, the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank have expired or have been terminated unless other arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank have been made in connection therewith.

2.24 Accordion. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.24 and so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (prior to or in connection with any such increase) and at any time prior to May 4, 2020, the Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders request a one-time increase in the Construction Loan Commitments in the amount not to exceed $100,000,000. Any Lender that has received such a notice may accept or decline such offer in its sole discretion. To the extent that any Lender agrees to increase its Construction Loan Commitment (in its sole discretion), (i) the parties hereto shall amend this Agreement accordingly to increase such Lender’s Construction Loan Commitment and the total Construction Loan Commitment accordingly; (ii) the Borrower shall pay to such Lender any and all fees charged by such Lender in respect of such additional Commitment; and (iii) if requested by such Lender, Notes evidencing such increase in the Construction Loan Commitment shall be delivered to such Lender duly executed by the Borrower.

(a) To the extent that the Borrower causes a Borrower Party to execute Tax Equity Documents after the date of the initial Borrowing of Construction Loans for a Project and desires the Construction Loan Commitment set forth on Annex 2 and allocated to such Project to be increased (provided that the Construction Loan Commitment has not otherwise been reduced to zero as of such date), the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall agree to amend Annex 2 to increase the Construction Loan Commitment for such Project solely to the extent following conditions are satisfied by the Borrower: (i) the revised Construction Loan Commitment allocated to such Project as set forth on Annex 2 shall be determined for such Project based on the debt sizing parameters set forth on Annex 5 (after giving effect to the deliverables delivered under this Section 2.25) and otherwise satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. (ii) as of the date the Borrower satisfied the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 with respect to such Project, the Borrower received the written approval of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to a term sheet setting forth the terms of a potential tax equity transaction (that was agreed to by a tax equity investor at such time) that was expected to result in executed tax equity documents between the applicable Borrower Party and such tax equity investor by no later than 130 days after the initial Construction Loan was funded for such Project and such tax equity documents have been duly executed and delivered by the applicable Borrower Party and such tax equity investor, on terms and conditions substantially similar to the terms set forth under such term sheet, and within the time frame set forth above; and (iii) such tax equity documents shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and Schedule 1.1B shall be updated to reflect such tax equity documents as Tax Equity Documents hereunder.

	58
		CREDIT AGREEMENT (SunPower HoldCo)

(b) In the event that any counterparty to the Tax Equity Documents has failed (giving effect to any cure period provided therein) to fund when the conditions precedent to such funding have been satisfied under the applicable Tax Equity Documents, the Administrative Agent shall calculate the difference between the Construction Loan Commitment previously allocated to such Project under Annex 2 and the then applicable Construction Loan Commitment to be allocated to such Project based on the debt sizing parameters set forth in Annex 5 (excluding any debt sizing provided for the execution of any Tax Equity Documents) and Annex 2 shall be amended to reflect the updated Construction Loan Commitment allocated to such Project (the “Reduced Commitment”).

(a) Subject to Section 7.15, any Loan Party or any other party thereto shall breach or be in default under any material term, condition, provision, covenant, representation or warranty contained in any Material Project Document and the Required Lenders shall have determined that the effect of such breach or default could be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on any Borrower Party or each applicable Project and such breach or default shall continue unremedied for thirty (30) days after notice from the Administrative Agent or Lenders to the applicable Borrower Party; provided, however, that if (i) such breach or default cannot be cured within such thirty (30) day period, (ii) such breach or default is susceptible to cure within ninety (90) days, (iii) such breach or default has not resulted, and could not, with the additional cure time contemplated by this proviso, be reasonably expected to result, in a Material Adverse Effect, and (iv) such other party is proceeding with all requisite diligence and in good faith to cure such failure, then the time within which such failure may be cured shall be extended to such date, not to exceed a total of sixty (60) days after the end of the initial thirty (30) day period, as shall be necessary for such party diligently to cure such failure.

(b) A Material Project Participant has delivered to any Borrower Party a written notice of default pursuant to the relevant Material Project Document (or the occurrence of any default that does not require a notice to affect a termination of such Material Project Document), such default, if not cured, gives such Material Project Participant the right to terminate such Material Project Document, the cure period provided thereunder in respect of such default has expired (or there is no cure period), and such default continues unremedied.

7.15 Loss of Material Project Document. Notwithstanding Section 7.14, any Material Project Document shall cease for any reason to be in full force and effect unless terminated in accordance with its terms and not as a result of a default thereunder; provided, however, that such Event of Default with respect to a Material Project Document (except for the Power Purchase Agreements, the Tax Equity Documents, the Interconnection Agreements and the Site Lease Agreements) shall not be deemed to have occurred if such Material Project Document has been replaced within sixty (60) days of the occurrence of a Default under this Section 7.15 by a replacement Material Project Document in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Required Lenders.

		CREDIT AGREEMENT (SunPower HoldCo)

7.16 Loss of Collateral. Any material portion of any Borrower Party’s property is damaged, seized or appropriated without fair value being paid therefor such as to allow replacement of such property and to allow the applicable Borrower Party, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, to continue satisfying its obligations hereunder and under the other Operative Documents, in each case after giving effect to any insurance proceeds or cash contributions to the common equity of the applicable Borrower Party (other than pursuant to the Equity Contribution Agreement) made to the applicable Borrower Party after the applicable Initial Project Construction Loan Date for the applicable Project and applied to such replacement.

7.17 [Intentionally Omitted]

or execute upon any amounts on deposit in any Collateral Account, any Loss Proceeds or any other moneys of each Borrower Party on deposit with the Agents, any Secured Party or Depositary Bank in the manner provided in the UCC and other relevant statutes and decisions and interpretations thereunder with respect to cash collateral, and (vi) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, or cause the Collateral Agent to, draw upon or make a demand under any Security Document or any Material Project Document collaterally assigned to Collateral Agent by any Borrower Party.

8.4 Reliance by Agents. Each of the Agents shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy or email message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Pledgor or any Borrower Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent.

The Agents shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with

	111
		CREDIT AGREEMENT (SunPower HoldCo)

a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders) in the case of the Administrative Agent, or of the Administrative Agent and the Counterparties, if applicable, in the case of the Collateral Agent, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and Counterparties, if applicable, and all future holders of the Loans.

8.5 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender, Pledgor or any Borrower Party referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders and the Collateral Agent. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders. The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Collateral Agent has received the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to above.

8.6 Non-Reliance on the Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that none of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Agents hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any of their Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agents to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their Affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their Affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders and Counterparties by the Agents hereunder, the Agents shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any of their Affiliates that may come into the possession of the Agents or any of their officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

8.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and their officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents, advisors

	112
		CREDIT AGREEMENT (SunPower HoldCo)

and controlling persons (each, an “Agent Indemnitee”) (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower, any Borrower Party or Pledgor and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower, any Borrower Party or Pledgor to do so), ratably according to their respective pro rata share in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (with such pro rata share calculated as such Lender’s pro rata share of the aggregate outstanding Loans), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, claims, including Environmental Claims, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent Indemnitee under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder, and the resignation or removal of any Agent hereunder.

8.8 Agents in Their Individual Capacity. Each of the Agents and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it, each of the Agents shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include such Agent in its individual capacity.

8.9 Successor Agents. The Administrative Agent (i) may resign as Administrative Agent upon thirty (30) Business Days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower or (ii) may be removed at the direction of the Required Lenders. If the Administrative Agent shall resign or be removed as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is thirty (30) Business Days following an Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation or the effective date of the Administrative Agent’s removal (as determined by the Required Lenders), the Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 8 and of Section 9.5 shall continue to inure to its benefit. The Collateral Agent may resign as Collateral

	113
		CREDIT AGREEMENT (SunPower HoldCo)

Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Collateral Agent shall resign as Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Collateral Agent, and the term “Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Collateral Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Collateral Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Collateral Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor Collateral Agent shall have been appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within twenty-five (25) days after the retiring Collateral Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or if an Event of Default shall have then occurred and be continuing, then the retiring Collateral Agent may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Collateral Agent, which shall be a bank or trust company which (A) has an office in New York, New York, (B)(1) has a combined capital surplus of at least $500,000,000 or (2) has a combined capital surplus of at least $100,000,000 and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of a bank or trust company that has a combined capital surplus of at least $500,000,000 and (C) is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders. After any retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation as Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Article 8 and of Section 9.5 shall continue to inure to its benefit.

8.10 Agents under Security Documents. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, on behalf of and for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to be the agent for and representative of the Lenders and the Counterparties with respect to the Collateral and the Security Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Agent shall receive direction either from the Administrative Agent or from the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Required Lenders.

8.11 Collateral Agent’s Duties.

(a) Whenever reference is made in this Agreement or any Security Document to any action by, consent, designation, specification, requirement or approval of, notice, request or other communication from, or other direction given or action to be undertaken or to be (or not to be) suffered or omitted by the Collateral Agent or to any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement to be executed (or not to be executed) by the Collateral Agent or to any election, decision, opinion, acceptance, use of judgment, expression of satisfaction or other exercise of discretion or rights or remedies to be made (or not to be made) by the Collateral Agent, it is understood that in all cases the Collateral Agent shall be acting, giving, withholding, suffering, omitting, making or otherwise undertaking and exercising the same (or shall not be undertaking and exercising the same) as directed by the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Agreement and the Security Documents. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Security Document to the contrary, the Collateral Agent will in no event be required to take any action which exposes the Collateral Agent to personal liability, which is contrary to this Agreement, the Security Documents or law or with respect to which the Collateral Agent does not receive adequate instructions or full indemnification and/or security to its satisfaction. The Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any such action or give any such approval prior to

	114
		CREDIT AGREEMENT (SunPower HoldCo)

receiving such written statements. This provision is intended solely for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and its permitted successors and assigns and is not intended to, and will not, entitle the other parties hereto to any defense, claim or counterclaims under or in relation to any Security Documents, or confer any rights or benefits on any party hereto.

(b) The Collateral Agent is authorized, without further action or direction by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, to make, complete or confirm any grant of Collateral required by this Agreement or any of the Security Documents and to release (or, if applicable, subordinate or grant non-disturbance rights in respect of) its Lien upon any Collateral (and execute such documents as are reasonably required in connection therewith) that is otherwise permitted to be transferred, sold, encumbered, released, conveyed or otherwise disposed of under the terms of this Agreement and the Security Documents. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely on an Officer’s Certificate of any Loan Party that has been countersigned by the Administrative Agent requesting such a release, subordination or non-disturbance, certifying that such release is permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and making specific reference to the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents permitting the transfer, sale, encumbrance, release, conveyance or disposition in connection with which the release, subordination or non-disturbance is being requested.

(c) The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the existence, genuineness, value or protection of any Collateral (provided that the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the protection of any Collateral being held by it), for the legality, effectiveness or sufficiency of any Security Document, or for the creation, perfection, priority, sufficiency or protection of any liens securing the Obligations.

(d) Nothing herein shall require the Agents to file financing statements or continuation statements, or be responsible for maintaining the security interests purported to be created as described herein (except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document) and such responsibility shall be solely that of the Borrower.

(e) The Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability for not performing any act or fulfilling any duty, obligation or responsibility under any Loan Document by reason of any occurrence beyond the control of the Collateral Agent (including but not limited to any present or future Legal Requirement, any act of god or war, civil unrest, local or national disturbance or disaster, any act of terrorism, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or facsimile or other wire or communication facility).

(f) In the event that the Collateral Agent is required to acquire title to an asset for any reason, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to carry out any obligation for the benefit of another, which in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion may cause the Collateral Agent to incur potential liability for any Environmental Claim or arising under any Environmental Law, the Collateral Agent reserves the right, instead of taking such action, to either resign as the Collateral Agent or arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court-appointed receiver. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable to the Borrower, the Secured Parties or any other Person for any Environmental Claims or any liability arising under any Environmental Law by reason of the Collateral Agent’s actions and conduct as authorized,

	115
		CREDIT AGREEMENT (SunPower HoldCo)

empowered and directed under the Loan Documents or relating to the presence, Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Substances.

8.12 Right to Realize on Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any of the Loan Documents, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Lender hereby agree that (i) no Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof, and all powers, rights and remedies under the Security Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Collateral Agent, any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale or other disposition.

8.13 Other Agents. None of the Documentation Agent or Lead Arranger shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in its capacity as such.

8.14 Financial Liability. No provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall require the Collateral Agent to (i) expend or risk its own funds or provide indemnities in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or the exercise of any of its rights or power or (ii) otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties or the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability (including an advance of moneys necessary to take the action requested) is not assured to it except for such liability, if any, arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of its duties hereunder as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

9.7 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of:

(A) the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, if Borrower does not respond to such consent request in writing within ten (10) Business Days, the Borrower shall have been deemed to have consented to such request), provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required (1) for an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund (as defined below) provided, further that with respect to any assignment of Construction Loan Commitments to an affiliate of a Lender (excluding any assignment by Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Bank USA to Xxxxxxx Sachs Lending Partners LLC), (a) such affiliate shall have a combined capital surplus of at least $250,000,000 or (b) such affiliate’s obligations shall be fully guaranteed by such Lender or (2) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and

(B) the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund (as defined below); provided, further that with respect to any assignment of Construction Loan Commitments to an affiliate of a Lender (excluding any assignment by Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Bank USA to Xxxxxxx Sachs Lending Partners LLC), (a) such affiliate shall have a combined capital surplus of at least $250,000,000 or (b) such affiliate’s obligations shall be fully guaranteed by such Lender.

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless

	122
		CREDIT AGREEMENT (SunPower HoldCo)

each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;

(B) (1) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 payable by the assigning Lender and (2) the assigning Lender shall have paid in full any amounts owing by it to the Administrative Agent;

(C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in which the Assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws;

(D) no Lender (including any assignee of any Lender) may assign any portion of its Commitment to a new lender if such assignment would result, at the time of such transfer only, in claims made by such new lender for costs pursuant to Section 2.21 hereof in excess of those which could be made by the assigning Lender were it not to make such assignment, unless such new lender waives its right to claim such costs; and

(E) no assignments shall be made to a natural person.

For the purposes of this Section 9.7, “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.19, 2.20, 2.21, and 9.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.7 shall be treated for purposes of this

	123
		CREDIT AGREEMENT (SunPower HoldCo)

Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to Section 9.1(a) and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.19, 2.20 and 2.21 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.8(b) as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant shall be subject to Section 9.8(a) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register agent on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any

	124
		CREDIT AGREEMENT (SunPower HoldCo)

Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, or other obligation is in registered from under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.19 or 2.20 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent or except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Any Participant that is a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.20 unless such Participant complies with Section 2.20(e). In no event shall the Borrower be responsible for any costs or expenses of any counsel engaged by a Participant.

(d) Any Lender may at any time, without notice, pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or a central bank purporting to have jurisdiction over such Lender, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e) The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (d) above.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in Section 9.7(b). Each of the Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance.

(g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any corporation into which the Collateral Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Collateral

	125
		CREDIT AGREEMENT (SunPower HoldCo)

Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Collateral Agent, shall be the successor of the Collateral Agent hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper with any party hereto or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto except where an instrument of transfer or assignment is required by law to effect such succession; provided that the Collateral Agent shall forthwith notify the parties hereto in writing of any such event.

9.8 Adjustments; Set-off.

(a) Except to the extent that this Agreement, any other Loan Document or a court order expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders, if any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it (other than in connection with an assignment made pursuant to Section 9.7), or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 7.5, or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest; provided, further, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of set-off, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.24 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of set-off.

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any Obligations becoming due and payable by the Borrower (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to apply to the payment of such Obligations, by setoff or otherwise, any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender, any affiliate thereof or any of their respective branches or agencies to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such application.

9.9 Independent Consultants. (a) The Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, in their reasonable discretion, may remove from time to time, any one or more of the

	126
		CREDIT AGREEMENT (SunPower HoldCo)

Independent Consultants and appoint replacements reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. Notice of any replacement Independent Consultant shall be given by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, the Lenders and to the Independent Consultant being replaced. All reasonable fees and expenses of the Independent Consultants (whether the original Independent Consultants or replacements) shall be paid by the Borrower; provided, however, that unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent shall request that each such Independent Consultant provide the Borrower with its proposed scope of work and proposed budget therefor, and the Administrative Agent shall consult with the Borrower with regard to the matters contained therein.

(b) Each Independent Consultant (other than the Independent Engineer, which consultants were hired directly by the Borrower) shall be contractually obligated to the Administrative Agent to carry out the activities required of it in this Agreement and as otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent and shall be responsible solely to the Administrative Agent for these activities. The Borrower acknowledges that it shall not have any cause of action or claim against any Independent Consultant resulting from any decision made or not made, any action taken or not taken or any advice given by such Independent Consultant in the due performance in good faith of its duties to the Administrative Agent hereunder.

9.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of Pledgor, the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to xxx in any other jurisdiction; and

(e) agrees that a non-appealable final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law and that nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Arranger, the Agents, the Issuing Banks or the Lenders may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against it or any of its assets in the courts of any jurisdiction.

9.14 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Tax Equity Forbearance Terms

The Lenders agree to use commercially reasonable, good faith efforts to agree to customary interparty rights with any Tax Equity Investor for the period between when such Tax Equity Investor funds its 20% investment for a Project and when the Tax Equity Investor funds the remaining 80% of its investment for such Project (subject to the Lenders’ receipt of any required credit approvals in respect of such interparty rights). In addition, Collateral granted by any Project Company (and the pledge of the membership interests in such Project Company pledged by the direct owner of such Project Company) will only be released on the applicable Project Discharge Date in accordance with the Credit Agreement. In no event shall any Collateral be released for any Project when the Tax Equity Investor otherwise makes any funding or capital contribution in respect of a Project if the related Project Discharge Date has not occurred as of such date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Lenders and Agents may exercise remedies against the Collateral upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, subject to the first sentence hereof and the immediately succeeding sentence. The purpose of the interparty agreement described in this Exhibit F is to agree with the Tax Equity Investor (i) that the Lenders will not foreclose on the assets or membership interests of a Project once the Tax Equity Investor has made its 20% investment in such Project for defaults under the Credit Agreement related to other Projects, (ii) to provide copies of all notices of Events of Defaults and other material notices delivered to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement by the Administrative Agent to the Tax Equity Investor, and (iii) to provide the Tax Equity Investor with an opportunity to purchase (for a limited, customary time period), during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower’s outstanding Obligations under the Credit Agreement in a manner that would cause the Project Discharge Date to occur in respect of the relevant Project owned in part by such Tax Equity Investor and to cure any Events of Defaults under the Loan Documents. It is understood that any such interparty agreement may be combined, for the sake of simplification, with a Forbearance Agreement (as defined below).

In addition, to the extent a Tax Equity Investor makes its final funding for a Project, i.e., the Tax Equity Investor has funded 100% of its required investment for a Project pursuant to the Tax Equity Documents related to such Project (the “100% Funding”), however, the Construction Loan and related Obligations in respect of such Project (including any LC Loans, LC Commitments and Letters of Credit) have not been fully repaid, (i) no Collateral related to such Project (including the membership interests pledged in such Project Company that owns such Project and the assets of such Project) shall be released until the occurrence of the Project Discharge Date for such Project; (ii) the Credit Agreement and the Collateral granted thereunder remains in full force and effect and the Lenders and the Agents may exercise remedies against the Collateral upon the occurrence of an Event of Default; (iii) if required by a Tax Equity Investor, the Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent (acting on the instructions of the Lenders) shall enter into a forbearance agreement (“Forbearance Agreement”) with such Tax Equity Investor on mutually agreed terms for the time period from and after when the Tax Equity Investor has made its 100% Funding; (iv) Forbearance Agreements may be entered into for no more than the lesser of (A) three individual Projects and (B) 10% of the total expected aggregate nameplate capacity of all Projects that have been allocated Loans and Commitments hereunder as of the Signing Date; and (v) pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement, from and after the Tax Equity Investor’s 100% Funding and prior to the earlier to occur of a Construction Loan Maturity Date and LC Loan Maturity Date, the Collateral Agent (acting on behalf of the Lenders) will agree to (A) not foreclose on the assets of such Project or the membership interests in the Project Company that owns such Project in a manner that will result in recapture of the investment tax credit to such Tax Equity Investor, solely to the extent that a payment related or bankruptcy related default under the Credit Agreement has not occurred, (B) provide copies of

Final Form

all notices of Events of Default and other material notices delivered to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement by the Administrative Agent and requested by the Tax Equity Investor, in each such case, to the Tax Equity Investors, and (C) provide each Tax Equity Investor with an opportunity to purchase (for a limited, customary time period), during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower’s outstanding Obligations under the Credit Agreement, in a manner that would cause the Project Discharge Date to occur in respect of the relevant Project owned in part by such Tax Equity Investor and to cure any Event of Defaults under the Loan Documents.

INITIAL PROJECT CONSTRUCTION LOAN DATE CERTIFICATE

June [], 2016

I, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, am the duly elected, qualified and acting President of SunPower Revolver Holdco I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”). I am delivering this Initial Project Construction Loan Date Certificate pursuant to Section 3.2(o) of the Credit Agreement, dated as of May 4, 2016 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Borrower, Mizuho Bank (USA), as the Collateral Agent, Mizuho Bank, Ltd., as the Administrative Agent and Documentation Agent, Mizuho Bank, Ltd. and Xxxxxxx Sachs Bank USA, as Issuing Banks, and the financial institutions or entities from time to time parties thereto as Lenders. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Initial Project Construction Loan Date Certificate shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

I hereby certify in my capacity as a representative of the Borrower, and not individually on behalf of the Company as follows:

Each representation and warranty set forth in the Loan Documents is true and correct on the Initial Project Construction Loan Date (or, if any representation or warranty is stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date).

No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the applicable Initial Project Construction Loan Date or will result from the funding of the initial Construction Loans with respect to the applicable Project on the Initial Project Construction Loan Date for such Project.

The Material Project Documents (including any supplements or amendments thereto), available to the Administrative Agent in the SunPower data room provided by or on behalf of the Borrower (the “Data Room”) as of June [], 2016 pursuant to Section 3.2(m) of the Credit Agreement in respect of the Projects, are true, complete and correct copies and are in full force and effect as of the date hereof. To the best of my knowledge no party to any Material Project Document is, or but for the passage of time or giving of notice or both will be, in breach of any obligation thereunder which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The form of the Material Project Documents (excluding any Tax Equity Document) for the Small Projects that are the subject of the Construction Loan on the date hereof are in the form attached to the Credit Agreement as Exhibit O.

The insurance policies required for the construction phase of each Borrower Party’s applicable Small Project are in full force and effect, are not subject to cancellation without thirty (30) days’ prior notice (ten (10) days for non-payment of premiums) and otherwise materially conform with the insurance requirements set forth in Section 5.4(a) and Schedule 5.4 of the Credit Agreement and the Material Project Documents.

All insurance premium payments due and payable as of the date hereof have been paid or will be paid from proceeds of the initial Construction Loan, and the Company’s insurance materially complies with the requirements of Section 5.4 of the Credit Agreement, Schedule 5.4 of the Credit Agreement and the Material Project Documents.

The Applicable Permits, available to the Administrative Agent in the Data Room as of June [], 2016 pursuant to Section 3.3(i) of the Credit Agreement, are true, complete and correct copies thereof.

No Material Adverse Effect and no event, condition or circumstance that would reasonably be expected to constitute a Material Adverse Effect has occurred and is continuing on the date hereof.

No action, suit, proceeding or investigation has been instituted or threatened by any Governmental Authority, nor has any rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree been issued or proposed to be issued by any Governmental Authority that, (i) could, if such action, suit, proceeding or investigation were adversely determined, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on any applicable Project or any Loan Party or (ii) solely as a result of the Borrower Party’s construction, ownership, leasing or operation of each applicable Project, the sale of electricity therefrom by the applicable Borrower Party, or the applicable Borrower Party’s entering into of any Operative Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, would cause or deem (1) the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders or any Affiliate of any of them to be subject to, or not exempt from, regulation under the FPA, PUHCA 2005 or any financial, organizational or rate regulation as a “public utility” or “electric utility” under applicable state laws and regulations respecting the rates or the financial or organizational regulation of electric utilities, except as set forth in the proviso set forth in Section 4.10(b) of the Credit Agreement; or (2) any Borrower Party to be subject to, or not exempt from, the federal access to books and records provisions of PUHCA 2005 or under any applicable state laws and regulations respecting the rates or the financial or organizational regulation of electric utilities except, with respect to an Affiliate of any Borrower Party, any such state laws or regulations that would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have given notice to the Pledgor of the Collateral Agent’s intent to exercise its rights under this Section 2.03(a) (it being acknowledged and agreed that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to deliver any such notice if the Pledgor is the subject of an Insolvency Proceeding, which in the case of an involuntary proceeding has not been dismissed within sixty (60) days of its filing), the Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise all voting and other rights with respect to the Pledged Collateral; provided, however, that no vote with respect to the Pledged Collateral shall be cast, right exercised or other action taken which would be inconsistent with, or result in any violation of, any provision of any of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and after notice thereof from the Collateral Agent to the Pledgor (it being acknowledged and agreed that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to deliver any such notice if the Pledgor is the subject of an Insolvency Proceeding, which in the case of an

involuntary proceeding has not been dismissed within sixty (60) days of its filing), all voting and other rights of the Pledgor with respect to the Pledged Collateral which the Pledgor would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise shall cease, and all such rights shall be vested in the Collateral Agent which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such rights.

(b) Distributions. Any and all distributions paid in respect of the LLC Interests shall be paid only to the extent permitted, and then strictly in accordance with, the Loan Documents. To the extent that such distributions and payments are made in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, the further distribution or payment of such monies shall not give rise to any claims or causes of action on the part of any of the Secured Parties against the Borrower or the Pledgor seeking the return or disgorgement of any such distributions or other payments unless the distributions or payments involve or result from the fraud or willful misconduct of the Borrower or the Pledgor. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, all rights of the Pledgor to receive and retain any such distributions shall cease, and all such rights shall be vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such rights.

(c) Turnover. All distributions and other amounts which are received by the Pledgor contrary to the provisions of this Agreement shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall be segregated from other funds of the Pledgor, and shall be forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).

(d) Authorization. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Pledgor hereby authorizes the Borrower to (i) comply with any instructions received by it from the Collateral Agent in writing that (A) state that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (B) are otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from the Pledgor, and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any distribution or other payments in respect of the Pledged Collateral directly to the Collateral Agent.

ARTICLE V.
REMEDIES

Section 5.01 Remedies Generally.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), without notice to the Pledgor (except as required by applicable law) and at such times as the Collateral Agent in its sole judgment may determine, exercise any or all of the Pledgor’s rights in, to and under, or in any way connected to, the Pledged Collateral, and the Collateral Agent shall otherwise have and may (but shall not be obligated to) exercise all of the rights, powers, privileges and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC is in effect in the jurisdiction where the rights, powers, privileges and remedies are asserted) with respect to the Pledged Collateral and such additional rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a Secured Party is entitled under the laws in effect in any jurisdiction where any rights, powers, privileges and remedies hereunder may be asserted, including the right, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to the Pledged Collateral as if the Collateral Agent were the sole and absolute owner thereof (and the Pledgor agrees to take all such action as may be appropriate to give effect to such right).

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:

(i) the Collateral Agent in its discretion may require the Pledgor to, and the Pledgor shall, assemble the Pledged Collateral owned by it at such place or places, reasonably convenient to both the Collateral Agent and the Pledgor, designated in the Collateral Agent’s request; and

(ii) the Collateral Agent in its discretion may, to the fullest extent provided by law, have a court having jurisdiction appoint a receiver, which receiver shall take charge and possession of and protect, preserve and replace the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, and manage and operate the same, and receive and collect all income, receipts, royalties, revenues, issues and profits therefrom (it being agreed that the Pledgor irrevocably consents and shall be deemed to have hereby irrevocably consented to the appointment thereof, and upon such appointment, the Pledgor shall immediately deliver possession of such Pledged Collateral to such receiver).

Section 5.02 Sale of Pledged Collateral.

(a) Without limiting the generality of Section 5.01, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may, without notice except as specified below, sell the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale or at any of the Collateral Agent’s corporate trust offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as are commercially reasonable, irrespective of the impact of any such sale on the market price of the Pledged Collateral at any such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of the Pledgor, and the Pledgor hereby waives

	17
		Pledge Agreement (SunPower Revolver)

(to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. The Pledgor agrees that at least ten (10) days’ notice to the Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Pledged Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefore and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. The Collateral Agent shall incur no liability as a result of the sale of the Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof, at any public or private sale. The Pledgor hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Pledged Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale, if commercially reasonable, was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Pledged Collateral to more than one offeree.

(b) The Pledgor recognizes that, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may elect to sell all or any part of the Pledged Collateral to one or more purchasers in privately negotiated transactions in which the purchasers will be obligated to agree, among other things, to acquire the Pledged Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Pledgor acknowledges that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale (including a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act) and the Pledgor and the Collateral Agent agree that such private sales shall be made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Collateral Agent has no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay sale of any Pledged Collateral to permit the issuer thereof to register the Pledged Collateral for a form of public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act. If the Collateral Agent exercises its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Collateral, upon written request the Pledgor shall, from time to time, furnish to the Collateral Agent all such information as is necessary in order to determine the LLC Interests, any other interests in the Pledged Collateral and any other instruments included in the Pledged Collateral which may be sold by the Collateral Agent as exempt transactions under the Securities Act and rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.

Section 5.03 Purchase of Pledged Collateral. The Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may be a purchaser of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof or any right or interest therein at any sale thereof, whether pursuant to foreclosure, power of sale or otherwise hereunder and the Collateral Agent may apply the purchase price to the payment of the Secured Obligations. Any purchaser of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral shall, upon any such purchase, acquire good title to the Pledged Collateral so purchased, free of the security interests created by this Agreement.

Section 5.04 Application of Proceeds; Deficiency. The Collateral Agent shall apply any proceeds from time to time held by it and the net proceeds of any collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale with respect to the Pledged Collateral to the payment of the Secured Obligations in the following order:

	18
		Pledge Agreement (SunPower Revolver)

First, to pay incurred and unpaid fees and expenses of the Agents under the Loan Documents, pro rata among the Agents according to the amount of the unpaid fees and expenses then due and owing and remaining unpaid to the Agents;

Second, to the Administrative Agent, for application by it towards payment of amounts then due and owing and remaining unpaid in respect of the Secured Obligations, pro rata among the Secured Parties according to the amounts of the Secured Obligations then due and owing and remaining unpaid to the Secured Parties;

Third, to the Administrative Agent, for application by it towards prepayment of the Secured Obligations, pro rata among the Secured Parties according to the amounts of the Secured Obligations then held by the Secured Parties; and

Fourth, any balance remaining after the Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full and the Commitments shall have terminated shall be paid over to the Pledgor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.

For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that the Borrower and the Pledgor shall remain liable to the extent of any deficiency between the amount of proceeds of the Pledged Collateral and the aggregate amount of the Borrower Obligations or Pledgor Obligations, respectively, in accordance with the Loan Documents.

Section 5.05 Notice. The Collateral Agent shall give the Pledgor notice of any action taken under this Article V within a reasonable period of time thereafter; provided, however, that (a) failure to give such notice shall have no effect on the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder and (b) the Collateral Agent shall not be required to deliver any such notice if the Pledgor is the subject of an Insolvency Proceeding or if the delivery of such notice is otherwise prohibited by applicable law.

Section 5.06 Enforcement Expenses. The Pledgor agrees to pay or reimburse the Collateral Agent and each Secured Party for all its fees and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable and documented legal fees, charges and disbursements) incurred by the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party, as applicable, in connection with the enforcement and protection of its rights under this Agreement.

ARTICLE VI.
MISCELLANEOUS

Section 6.01 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 5.05), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced to any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party would otherwise have on any future

(ii) the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Secured Parties) may (but shall not be obligated to), without notice to the Borrower (except as required by applicable law) and at such times as the Collateral Agent in its sole judgment may determine, exercise any or all of the Borrower’s rights in, to and under, or in any way connected to, the Collateral (including the performance of the Borrower’s obligations, and the exercise of the Borrower’s rights and remedies, under the Assigned Agreements), and the Collateral Agent shall otherwise have and may (but shall not be obligated to) exercise all of the rights, powers, privileges and remedies with respect to the Collateral of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC is in effect in the jurisdiction where the rights, powers, privileges and remedies are asserted) and such additional rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a secured party is entitled under the laws or equity in effect in any jurisdiction where any rights, powers, privileges and remedies hereunder may be asserted, including the right, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to the Collateral as if the Collateral Agent were the sole and absolute owner thereof (and the Borrower agrees to take all such action as may be appropriate to give effect to such right);

(iii) the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) make any reasonable compromise or settlement it deems desirable with respect to any of the Collateral and may (but shall not be obligated to) extend the time of payment, arrange for payment in installments, or otherwise modify the terms, of all or any part of the Collateral;

(iv) the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in its name or in the name of the Borrower or otherwise, demand, xxx for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the Collateral;

(v) (A) the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) sell, lease, assign or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral, at such place or places as the Required Secured Parties deem reasonable, and for cash or for credit or for future delivery (without thereby assuming any credit risk), at public or private sale, without demand of performance or notice of intention to effect any such disposition or of the time or place thereof (except such notice as is required by applicable statute and

	14
		Security Agreement (SunPower Revolver HoldCo I, LLC)

cannot be waived); (B) if any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least ten (10) days before such sale or other disposition; (C) the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party or anyone else may be the purchaser, lessee, assignee or recipient of any or all of the Collateral so disposed of at any public sale (or, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, at any private sale) and thereafter hold the same absolutely, free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any right or equity of redemption (statutory or otherwise), of the Borrower, any such demand, notice and right or equity being hereby expressly waived and released to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law; and (D) the Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the sale may be so adjourned; and

(vi) the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), to the full extent provided by law, have a court having jurisdiction appoint a receiver, which receiver shall take charge and possession of and protect, preserve and replace the Collateral or any part thereof, and manage and operate the same, and receive and collect all income, receipts, royalties, revenues, issues and profits therefrom (it being agreed that the Borrower irrevocably consents and shall be deemed to have hereby irrevocably consented to the appointment thereof, and upon such appointment, it shall immediately deliver possession of such Collateral to such receiver).

(b) The proceeds of each collection, sale or other disposition under this Agreement shall be applied in accordance with Section 4.13.

(c) The Borrower recognizes that, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may elect to sell all or any part of the Collateral to one or more purchasers in privately negotiated transactions in which the purchasers will be obligated to agree, among other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Borrower acknowledges that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale (including a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act) and the Borrower and the Collateral Agent agree that such private sales shall be made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Collateral Agent has no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay sale of any Collateral to permit the issuer thereof to register the Collateral for a form of public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act. If the Secured Parties exercise their right to sell any or all of the Collateral, upon written request the Borrower shall, from time to time, furnish to the Collateral Agent all such information as is necessary in order to determine the Collateral and any other instruments included in the Collateral that may be sold by the Collateral Agent as exempt transactions under the Securities Act and rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.

(d) The Collateral Agent shall within a reasonable period of time thereafter give the Borrower notice of any action taken under this Section 4.9; provided, however, that (i) failure to give such notice shall have no effect on the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder

	15
		Security Agreement (SunPower Revolver HoldCo I, LLC)

and (ii) the Collateral Agent shall not be required to deliver any such notice if the Borrower is the subject of an Insolvency Proceeding or if the delivery of such notice is otherwise prohibited by applicable law.

Section 4.10 Deficiency. If the proceeds of sale, collection or other realization of or upon the Collateral by virtue of the exercise of remedies under Section 4.9 are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such realization and the payment in full of the Secured Obligations, the Collateral Agent shall retain all rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, and the Borrower, subject to Section 4.16 and 5.19, shall remain liable with respect to any deficiency to the extent the Borrower is obligated under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 4.11 Change of Name or Location. Without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Collateral Agent, the Borrower shall not change its organizational name from the name shown on the signature pages hereto or its jurisdiction of formation from the State of Delaware. The Borrower shall not affect any such name change or change in jurisdiction of organization until all necessary steps have been taken to maintain the perfection and priority of the Liens granted herein or in any other Security Document.

Section 4.12 Private Sale. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall incur no liability as a result of the sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale pursuant to Section 4.9(c) conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. Subject to and without limitation of the preceding sentence, the Borrower hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, any claims against the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale to an unrelated third party was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree.

Section 4.13 Application of Proceeds.

(a) Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any collection, sale or other realization of all or any part of the Collateral pursuant hereto, and any other cash at the time held by the Collateral Agent under this Article IV with respect to the Collateral, shall be held by the Collateral Agent as Collateral hereunder and shall be applied by the Collateral Agent to the payment of the Secured Obligations in the following order:

(i) First, to pay incurred and unpaid fees and expenses of the Agents under the Loan Documents, pro rata among the Agents according to the amounts of such unpaid fees and expenses then due and owing and remaining unpaid to the Agents;

(ii) Second, to the Administrative Agent, for application by it towards payment of amounts then due and owing and remaining unpaid in respect of the Secured Obligations, pro rata among the Secured Parties according to the amounts of the Secured Obligations then due and owing and remaining unpaid to the Secured Parties;

	16
		Security Agreement (SunPower Revolver HoldCo I, LLC)

(iii) Third, to the Administrative Agent, for application by it towards prepayment of the Secured Obligations, pro rata among the Secured Parties according to the amounts of the Secured Obligations then held by the Secured Parties; and

(iv) Fourth, any balance remaining after the Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full and the Commitments shall have terminated shall be paid over to the Borrower or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.

(b) Company Remains Obligated. No sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral pursuant to Section 4.9 shall be deemed to relieve the Borrower of its obligations under any Loan Document except to the extent the proceeds thereof are applied to the payment of such obligations.

(c) Purchase of Collateral. The Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may be a purchaser of the Collateral or any part thereof or any right or interest therein at any sale thereof, whether pursuant to foreclosure, power of sale or otherwise hereunder and the Collateral Agent may apply the purchase price to the payment of the applicable Secured Obligations. Any purchaser of all or any part of the Collateral shall, upon any such purchase, acquire good title to the Collateral so purchased, free of the Liens created by this Agreement.

Section 4.14 Attorney-in-Fact.

(a) Subject to Section 4.16 and 5.19, without limiting any rights or powers granted by this Agreement to the Collateral Agent, the Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of the Borrower and in the name of the Borrower or in its own name, at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense, for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, or otherwise as contemplated by Sections 4.6 and 5.1, to (a) take any appropriate action and to execute any document or instrument that may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement (including taking actions under any Consent or other consent referred to in Section 4.6(b)(i)), (b) preserve the validity, perfection and priority of the Liens granted by this Agreement and (c) exercise its rights, remedies, powers and privileges under this Agreement (including taking actions under any Consent or other consent referred to in Section 4.6(b)(i)).

Subject to Section 4.16 and 5.19, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower hereby gives the Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of the Borrower, without notice to or assent by the Borrower, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default (or as otherwise provided in Section 4.6 or 5.1) to:

Section 4.15 Perfection. Without relieving it of its obligations under Section 4.1 or otherwise under the Loan Documents, the Borrower authorizes the Collateral Agent to file (but the Collateral Agent shall not be so obligated to file) such Financing Statements in such offices as are or shall be necessary or appropriate to create, perfect and establish the priority of the Liens granted by this Agreement in any and all of the Collateral, to preserve the validity, perfection or priority of the Liens granted by this Agreement in any and all of the Collateral or to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise its remedies, rights, powers and privileges under this Agreement. Such Financing Statements may describe the Collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication or description of collateral that describes the Collateral in any other manner as the Collateral Agent may determine, as directed by the Administrative Agent, is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interests in the Collateral granted to the Collateral Agent hereunder, including describing such property as “all assets whether now owned or hereafter acquired,” “all assets of the Debtor” or “all personal property whether now owned or hereafter acquired.” Copies of any such Financing Statement or amendment thereto shall promptly be delivered to the Borrower.

Section 5.3 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 5.5), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof.
