CREDIT EXTENSION

2.01 Loan.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Lender agrees to make an advance of the Loan in an amount of $3,898,560. Not later than 12:00 p.m. on the Closing Date, the Lender shall, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, make the Loan available to the Borrower by delivery of the proceeds thereof as shall be directed by the Authorized Representative and reasonably acceptable to the Lender. The Loan shall bear interest at the Fixed Rate. No amount of the Loan repaid or prepaid by the Borrower may be reborrowed hereunder, and no subsequent advance of the Loan shall be allowed after the initial advance.

(b) The Outstanding Amount of the Loan and all accrued but unpaid interest shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date of the Loan. The Borrower shall pay principal of and interest on the Loan in 120 equal monthly installments, as calculated by the Lender (currently estimated to be $47,535), commencing on July 15, 2010 and continuing on the fifteenth day of each month thereafter through the Maturity Date of the Loan. The initial payment shall also include all interest accrued on the Loan for the period from the date the Credit

Extension is made through June 15, 2010 in addition to the regular payment of principal and interest.

(c) Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

2.02 Advance of the Loan.

(a) Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (and, if a borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 5.01), the Lender shall make the proceeds of the Loan available to the Borrower by wire transfer of such proceeds through the closing escrow in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Lender by the Authorized Representative.

2.03 Prepayments. The Borrower may at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay the Loan.

2.04 Default Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if any amount payable by the Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at the Fixed Rate plus an amount equal to 4% per annum (the “Default Rate”), provided that application of such Default Rate shall occur after notification to the Borrower by the Lender. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

2.05 Fees.

(a) On the Closing Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender a loan fee in the amount of $38,985.00, which is equal to 1% of the initial principal amount of the Loan.

(b) The Borrower shall pay to the Lender all expenses incurred by Lender in connection with due diligence, underwriting and the preparation of documentation of the Loan, whether incurred before or after the Closing Date. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable.

2.06 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on the Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.08(a), bear interest for one day.

2.07 Evidence of Debt. The Credit Extension made by the Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by the Lender in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extension made by the Lender to the Borrower and the interest and

payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. The Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Lender the Note, which shall evidence the Lender’s Loan in addition to such accounts or records.

2.08 Payments Generally.

(a) All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Lender at the applicable Lending Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 3:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. All payments received by the Lender after 3:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.

(b) If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

ARTICLE III.
TAXES

No written report, financial statement, certificate or other information furnished by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered

hereunder (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time.

6.16 Compliance with Laws. Each of the Borrower and each Subsidiary is in compliance in all material respects with the requirements of all Laws and all orders, writs, injunctions and decrees applicable to it or to its properties, except in such instances in which (a) such requirement of Law or order, writ, injunction or decree is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted or (b) the failure to comply therewith, either individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Pay and discharge prior to delinquency, all its obligations and liabilities, including (a) all tax liabilities, assessments and governmental charges or levies upon it or its properties or assets, unless the same are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP are being maintained by the Borrower or such Subsidiary; and (b) all lawful claims which, if unpaid, would by law become a Lien upon its property.

7.05 Preservation of Existence, Etc. (a) Preserve, renew and maintain in full force and effect its legal existence and good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its organization except in a transaction permitted by Section 8.04 or 8.05; and (b) take all reasonable action to maintain all rights, privileges, permits, licenses and franchises necessary or desirable in the normal conduct of its business, except to the extent that failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(a) Maintain, preserve and protect all of its material properties and equipment necessary in the operation of its business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted; (b) make all necessary repairs thereto and renewals and replacements thereof except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (c) use the standard of care typical in the industry in the operation and maintenance of its facilities.

7.07 Maintenance of Insurance.

7.11 Use of Proceeds. Use the proceeds of the Credit Extension for long term financing of a DC photovoltaic solar electricity generating facility owned by the Borrower not in contravention of any Law or of any Loan Document.

The Borrower agrees to execute and deliver promptly, and to cause each other Loan Party to execute and deliver promptly, to the Lender, from time to time, solely for Lender’s convenience in maintaining a record of the Collateral, such written statements and schedules as Lender may reasonably require designating, identifying or describing the Collateral. The failure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, however, to promptly give the Lender such statements or schedules shall not affect, diminish, modify or otherwise limit the Liens on the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Instruments.

7.13 Security Interests. The Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Loan Party to, defend the Collateral against all claims and demands of all Persons at any time claiming the same or any interest therein. The Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Loan Party to, comply with the requirements of all state and federal laws in order to grant to the Lender valid and perfected first priority security interests in the Collateral, with perfection, in the case of any investment property, being effected by giving the Lender control of such investment property, rather than by the filing of a UCC financing statement with respect to such investment property. The Lender is hereby authorized by the Borrower to file any UCC financing statements covering the Collateral whether or not the Borrower’s signatures appear thereon. The Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Loan Party, to do whatever the Lender may reasonably request, from time to time, to effect the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including filing notices of liens, UCC financing statements, fixture filings and amendments, renewals and continuations thereof; cooperating with the Lender’s representatives; keeping stock records; obtaining waivers from landlords and mortgagees and from warehousemen and their landlords and mortgages; and, paying claims which might, if unpaid, become a Lien on the Collateral.

7.15 Borrower’s Account and Subsidiaries’ Accounts. The Borrower shall establish and maintain depository accounts with the Lender as Lender’s customer as described in this

Section 7.15. These depository accounts shall be the only depository accounts maintained by Borrower and its Subsidiaries. The Borrower’s Accounts and each Subsidiary’s Account shall not subject to any deduction, set-off, bank’s lien or any other right in favor of any Person other than Lender.

(a) Operating Account. Borrower shall establish a non-interest bearing account at Lender in the name of Borrower pledged to Lender using Borrower’s Federal tax identification number, account number 0000000 (the “Operating Account”). Borrower shall direct its customers and creditors to submit all remittances to the Lender for deposit in the Operating Account. Any remittance or other proceeds of receivables of Borrower or other Loan Collateral received by Borrower shall be deemed held by Borrower in trust and as fiduciary for Lender, and Borrower immediately shall deposit the same in the Operating Account or deliver the same, in its original form, to Lender by overnight delivery carrier. Pending such deposit in the Operating Account or delivery to Lender, Borrower agrees that it shall not commingle any such remittance or other proceeds of receivables or other Loan Collateral with any of Borrower’s other funds or property, but shall hold it separate and apart from such other funds or property in trust for Lender until deposit is made into the Operating Account or until delivery is made to Lender by overnight delivery carrier as described above. Any amounts due and payable under the Loan Documents shall be paid out of the Operating Agreement to the extent of available funds. Absent an Event of Default, Borrower shall have control over deposits and funds in such Operating Account, subject to the lien of the pledge and the provisions of this Agreement. Borrower authorizes Lender to establish automatic payments of the Loan by drawing on the Operating Account. To the extent that the balance of the Debt Service Reserve Account is less than $285,000 on the first day of any fiscal quarter, Borrower authorizes Lender to transfer funds from the Operating Account to the Debt Service Reserve Account in an amount sufficient to bring the balance of the Debt Service Reserve Account to $285,000. Borrower shall complete any forms reasonably requested by Lender to establish such automatic payments of the Loan and transfers to the Debt Service Reserve Account.

(b) Debt Service Reserve Account. Borrower shall establish a an interest bearing account at Lender in the name of Borrower pledged to Lender using Borrower’s Federal tax identification number, account number 0000000 (the “Debt Service Reserve Account”) with an initial balance of $285,000. The Debt Service Reserve Account and all deposits to the Debt Service Reserve Account shall be Lender’s property and shall be subject only to the signing authority designated from time to time by Lender, and Borrower shall have no interest therein or control over such deposits or funds. Lender shall have sole access to the Debt Service Reserve Account. Borrower shall have no access to the Debt Service Reserve Account. If funds in Operating Account are insufficient to pay amounts due and payable under the Loan Documents and provided (i) no Default has occurred and is continuing, and (ii) Borrower has made no Restricted Payments in the current fiscal quarter, then on Borrower’s written request, Lender shall apply funds in the Debt Service Reserve Account to pay the difference between funds available in the Operating Account and the amounts due and payable under the Loan Documents. To the extent that the balance is less than $285,000 on the first day of any fiscal quarter, Borrower shall immediately deposit funds in the Debt Service Reserve Account sufficient to increase the balance to not less than $285,000. Any funds remaining in the Debt Service Reserve Account after satisfaction in full of the Obligations shall be returned to Borrower.

(c) Any Subsidiary now or hereafter existing shall establish a non-interest bearing account at Lender in the name of the Subsidiary pledged to Lender using that Subsidiary’s Federal tax identification number (each a “Subsidiary’s Account”).

(c) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 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.

(d) The Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Notes, if any) to secure obligations of the Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release the Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for the Lender as a party hereto.

10.08 Confidentiality. The Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, so long as, in the case of any civil subpoena or similar civil legal process, the Lender makes a reasonable effort to notify the Borrower of such subpoena or legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan

Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower, or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower (unless the Lender knows that such source is otherwise bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Borrower). For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party relating to any Loan Party or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party, provided that, in the case of information received from a Loan Party after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

10.09 Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lender provided by law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, any such notice being waived by the Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party) to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing by, the Lender to or for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties against any and all Obligations owing to the Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Lender shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or indebtedness. The Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

10.10 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loan or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, the Lender may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

10.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

10.12 Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Lender in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES.

10.13 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Lender or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

10.14 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby, and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

10.15 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH STATE; PROVIDED THAT THE LENDER SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS ARISING UNDER FEDERAL LAW.

10.16 Dispute Resolution.

(a) Any controversy, claim, action or dispute arising out of or related to this Agreement between the parties, whether based on contract, tort or otherwise, shall be decided by a general reference proceeding pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 et.

seq., as amended from time to time, as modified by this Section. The general reference proceeding shall be commenced by filing a motion in the courts of the State of California sitting in the County of Sacramento (“Court”), with a copy served on the other parties. Any motion for appointment of a referee shall be filed within the applicable statute of limitations for the claims to be made in the general reference proceeding.

(b) The Court shall appoint a single referee who shall be a retired judge who has served at least five (5) years in the courts of the State, and the order appointing the referee shall order the referee to comply with the provisions of this Section. The referee shall try all issues of law and fact. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE A COURT TRIAL OR A JURY TRIAL IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT WHICH IS NOT EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED HEREIN. Except to the extent modified herein, the reference shall be conducted in accordance with applicable law, including, but not limited to, the California Code of Civil Procedure and the California Evidence Code. All general reference proceedings hereunder shall be conducted in a mutually agreeable location in the State of California.

EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF THE MATTERS INCLUDED IN THIS “RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES” PROVISION DECIDED BY A GENERAL REFERENCE PROCEEDING (AS MODIFIED BY THIS SECTION), WITH A REFEREE AND NOT A JUDGE, AND FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS GIVING UP ANY RIGHTS IT MIGHT POSSESS TO HAVE THE DISPUTE LITIGATED IN A COURT OR BEFORE A JURY TRIAL.
