Section 1 – Registrant’s Business and Operations

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 10, 2007, as described in more detail in Item 2.01 below, SunPower Corporation (“SunPower” or the “Company”) completed the previously announced merger transaction (the “Merger”) involving the Company, Pluto Acquisition Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and PowerLight Corporation, a California corporation (“PowerLight”). As a result of the completion of the Merger, PowerLight has become a wholly owned subsidiary of SunPower. SunPower currently expects to operate PowerLight as a stand alone business unit, and it will retain its own facilities and management team within the overall SunPower reporting structure.

In connection with the completion of the transactions contemplated by the agreement governing the Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), the board of directors (the “Board”) of the Company authorized the Company to enter into indemnification agreements with each of Thomas L. Dinwoodie, Howard J. Wenger and Bruce R. Ledesma, who were appointed by the Board as executive officers of the Company upon the completion of the Merger. The indemnification agreements authorized by the Board to be entered into are in a form substantially similar to the indemnification agreements currently in effect for individuals who served as the officers and directors of the Company prior to the Merger, the form of which has previously been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). This form of indemnification agreement generally provides that the Company will indemnify a party to the agreement against all expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and other amounts paid in connection with third party proceedings, and against all expenses and, to the extent permitted by law, amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in a proceeding by or in the right of the Company, in each case if the indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner in which such indemnitee believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company.

Section 2 – Financial Information

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On January 10, 2007, SunPower completed the previously announced Merger involving the Company, Merger Sub and PowerLight. As a result of the Merger, PowerLight has become a wholly owned subsidiary of SunPower.

Upon the completion of the Merger, all of the outstanding shares of PowerLight, and a portion of each vested option to purchase shares of PowerLight, were cancelled, and all of the outstanding options to purchase shares of PowerLight (other than the portion of each vested option that was cancelled) were assumed, by SunPower, in exchange for aggregate consideration of (i) approximately $120.7 million in cash plus (ii) a total of 5,708,723 shares of SunPower’s class A common stock, inclusive of (a) 1,601,839 shares of SunPower class A common stock which may be issued upon the exercise of assumed vested and unvested PowerLight stock options, which options vest on the same schedule as the assumed PowerLight stock options, and (b) 1,675,881 shares of SunPower class A common stock issued to employees of the PowerLight business in the Merger, which shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions and a repurchase option by the Company, both of which lapse over a two-year period under the terms of certain

 

-2-


equity restriction agreements described in more detail in Item 5.02 below. The Company is also obligated under the terms of the Merger Agreement to issue an additional 200,841 shares of restricted SunPower class A common stock (such shares, the “Bonus Pool”) to certain employees of the PowerLight business, which shares will be subject to certain transfer restrictions which will lapse over 4 years.

PowerLight is a leading global provider of large-scale solar power systems. PowerLight designs, assembles, markets and sells solar electric power system technology that integrates solar cells and panels from SunPower and other suppliers to convert sunlight to electricity compatible with the utility network. PowerLight also sells customers solar power systems on a turnkey basis by developing, engineering, procuring permits and equipment for, managing construction of, offering access to financing for, and providing monitoring, operations and maintenance services for large-scale roof-mounted and ground-mounted solar power applications. PowerLight’s customers include industrial, commercial and public sector entities, investors, utilities and production home builders.

PowerLight is expected to constitute a significant part of the SunPower business on a going-forward basis. SunPower considered a number of factors, both positive and negative, in its analysis of the Merger. SunPower decided to enter into the Merger Agreement in view of all of these factors, including the potential business synergies, accelerated product innovation and cost savings that are anticipated to result from the proposed merger, including faster time to market with new products, research and development savings and efficiencies and supply chain management efficiencies. The management teams of the two companies are working actively on integration plans with the goal of promoting synergies and collaboration among the management, product development and sales and marketing teams of SunPower and PowerLight.

A press release announcing the completion of the Merger is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by this reference.

Section 3 – Securities and Trading Markets

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The information set forth in Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K with respect to the issuance of shares of SunPower’s class A common stock in connection with the completion of the Merger is incorporated into this Item 3.02 by this reference.

The above-described issuance of shares of SunPower’s class A common stock has been made in reliance upon Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. SunPower believes that the offering satisfied the terms and conditions set forth in Rules 501, 502 and 506 of Regulation D as there were no more than 35 purchasers (calculated in accordance with Regulation D) and SunPower believes that each purchaser who is not an accredited investor has, either alone or with his purchaser representative, such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that he is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this investment. SunPower believes that exemptions other than the foregoing exemption may also exist for this transaction.

In addition to the foregoing, if, during the period beginning three months before and ending 18 months following a change of control (as defined in the respective employment agreement of each of Messrs. Dinwoodie, Wenger and Ledesma), such individual’s employment is terminated other than for cause or he resigns for good reason, all of such individual’s unvested stock options or restricted stock granted from and after the date of the Merger will become fully vested.

Pursuant to his employment agreement, each of Messrs. Dinwoodie, Wenger and Ledesma also agreed to certain non-solicitation provisions, which apply for up to one (1) year following the termination of his employment.

Messrs. Dinwoodie’s, Wenger’s and Ledesma’s employment agreements are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, and are incorporated herein by this reference.

In addition to their respective employment agreements, each of Messrs. Dinwoodie, Wenger and Ledesma, as well as certain other members of PowerLight’s management team, entered into equity restriction agreements (the “Equity Restriction Agreements”) with SunPower pursuant to which they each agreed that half of the aggregate amount of the SunPower class A common stock received by them at the closing of the Merger and the SunPower class A common stock to be received by them upon the exercise of vested stock options held by them at the closing of the Merger would be subject to certain transfer and repurchase restrictions. Specifically, these individuals agreed to give SunPower the right to repurchase the shares of SunPower class A common stock subject to the restrictions for two years following the date of the closing of the Merger. If Mr. Dinwoodie, Mr. Wenger or Mr. Ledesma is terminated for cause or resigns other than for good reason (each as defined in their respective Equity Restriction Agreement) during the restriction period, SunPower has the right to repurchase any or all of such person’s respective shares still subject to the restrictions for $0.01 per share. Provided that Mr. Dinwoodie, Mr. Wenger and Mr. Ledesma remain employed by the Company or by PowerLight, the restrictions and repurchase right lapse on one quarter of the shares semi-annually. The restrictions and repurchase right lapse immediately upon termination by reason of death or disability or upon resignation for good reason or termination other than for cause.

A copy of the form of Equity Restriction Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.4 and is incorporated herein by this reference.

Exhibit 10.1

THOMAS L. DINWOODIE

AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Agreement amends and restates the employment agreement entered into as of November 1, 2005 (the “Effective Date”) by and between PowerLight Corporation, a California corporation (the “Company”) and Thomas L. Dinwoodie (“Executive”) to reflect the proposed acquisition of the Company by SunPower Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“SunPower”) and merger (the “Merger”) of the Company with and into Pluto Acquisition LLC, a Delaware LLC (“PowerLight LLC”) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated November 15, 2006 among the Company, SunPower, PowerLight LLC and Thomas L. Dinwoodie as Shareholders’ Representative. This Agreement as amended and restated shall be effective as of one business day following the date the Merger is consummated (the “Amendment Date”), and if the Merger does not occur such amendments shall be without effect. After the Amendment Date, all references to the Company shall be to PowerLight LLC.

1. Duties and Scope of Employment.

(a) Positions and Duties. As of the Amendment Date, Executive will serve as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, a subsidiary of SunPower. Executive will render such business and professional services in the performance of his duties, consistent with Executive’s position within the Company, as will reasonably be assigned to him by the Chief Executive Officer of SunPower (the “Supervisor”). The period of Executive’s employment under this Agreement is referred to herein as the “Employment Term.”

(b) Obligations. During the Employment Term, Executive will devote Executive’s full business efforts and time to the Company. Executive acknowledges that the performance of his duties may require reasonable business travel. For the duration of the Employment Term, Executive agrees not to actively engage in any other employment, occupation, or consulting activity for any direct or indirect remuneration without the prior approval of the Supervisor (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that Executive may, without the approval of the Supervisor, serve in any capacity with any civic, educational, or charitable organization, provided such services do not interfere with Executive’s obligations to the Company.

2. At-Will Employment. Executive and the Company agree that Executive’s employment with the Company constitutes “at-will” employment. Executive and the Company acknowledge that, notwithstanding the term described in Section 3, this employment relationship may be terminated at any time, upon written notice to the other party, with or without good cause or for any or no cause, at the option either of the Company or Executive. However, as described in this Agreement, Executive may be entitled to severance benefits

 

1 of 10


depending upon the circumstances of Executive’s termination of employment. Upon the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason, in addition to the severance compensation provided elsewhere in this Agreement, Executive will be entitled to payment of all accrued but unpaid vacation, expense reimbursements, and other benefits due to Executive through his termination date under any Company-provided or paid plans, policies, and arrangements. Executive agrees to resign from all positions that he holds with the Company (other than his position, if any, as a member of the Board of Directors of SunPower (the “Board”)) immediately following the termination of his employment if the Supervisor so requests.

3. Term of Agreement. This Agreement will have an initial term of three years commencing on the Effective Date. On the third anniversary of the Effective Date, and on each three-year anniversary thereafter, this Agreement automatically will renew for an additional three-year term unless the Company provides Executive with notice of non-renewal at least 120 days prior to the date of automatic renewal.

4. Compensation.

(a) Base Salary. Commencing as of the date when the Company implements its Company-wide salary increases for 2007, the Company will pay Executive an initial monthly salary of $20,278.17 as compensation for his services (the “Base Salary”). The Base Salary will not be subject to further increase as a result of SunPower’s separate implementation of its own company-wide salary increases for 2007. The Base Salary will be paid periodically in accordance with SunPower’s normal payroll practices and be subject to the usual, required withholding. Executive’s salary will be subject to review, and adjustments will be made based upon SunPower’s standard practices.

(b) Annual Bonus. Executive shall be eligible to participate in SunPower’s Key Employee Bonus Plan (“KEBP”). Executive’s target bonus will be determined from time to time by the Supervisor in accordance with the KEBP (“Target Bonus”); provided, however, that Executive’s initial Target Bonus shall be 50% of the Base Salary. The actual bonus paid may be higher or lower than the Target Bonus for over- or under-achievement of goals as determined by the Supervisor. Executive’s annual bonus, if any, will be payable each quarter and/or year upon completion of a performance review by the Supervisor.

(c) Equity Compensation. Executive may be entitled to participate in SunPower’s equity incentive programs, as determined from time to time by the Board and/or its compensation committee.

(d) Additional Compensation. The Company shall provide Executive with a vehicle which shall be, at the Company’s discretion, either owned or leased by the Company for Executive’s business and personal use.

5. Employee Benefits. During the Employment Term, Executive will be eligible to participate in accordance with the terms of all SunPower employee benefit plans, policies, and arrangements that are applicable to other senior executives of SunPower, as such plans, policies, and arrangements may exist from time to time.

 

2 of 10


6. Expenses. The Company will reimburse Executive for reasonable travel, entertainment, and other expenses incurred by Executive in the furtherance of the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder, in accordance with SunPower’s expense reimbursement and other policies as in effect from time to time.

7. Severance.

(a) Termination Without Cause or Resignation for Good Reason . If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason, then, subject to Section 8, Executive will receive: (i) a lump-sum payment equal to Executive’s monthly Base Salary in effect immediately prior to the date of Executive’s employment termination (“Termination Date”) multiplied by twenty-four (24), (ii) in the event the Termination Date following a completed fiscal year for which Executive’s annual bonus relating to such prior completed fiscal year has not been paid as of the Termination Date, a lump-sum payment equal to the actual bonus that would have been paid for such completed fiscal year (iii) a lump-sum payment equal to Executive’s Target Bonus in effect immediately prior to the Termination Date divided by twelve (12) and multiplied by the number of whole calendar months between the commencement of the then current fiscal year and the Termination Date, and (iv) Company-paid coverage for Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents under the Company’s Benefit Plans for twenty-four (24) months, or, if earlier, until Executive is eligible for similar benefits from another employer (provided Executive validly elects to continue coverage under applicable law).

(b) Voluntary Termination without Good Reason; Termination for Cause. If Executive’s employment with the Company terminates voluntarily by Executive without Good Reason or is terminated for Cause by the Company, then (i) all further vesting of Executive’s outstanding equity awards will terminate immediately, (ii) all payments of compensation by the Company to Executive hereunder will terminate immediately (except as to amounts already earned), and (iii) Executive will be paid all expense reimbursements and other benefits due to Executive through his termination date under any Company-provided or paid plans, policies, and arrangements.

(c) Termination due to Death or Disability. If Executive’s employment terminates by reason of death or disability, then (i) Executive will be entitled to the payments described in Section 7(a)(ii) and (iii) above, (ii) all provisions regarding forfeiture, restrictions on transfer, and the Company’s or SunPower’s (as applicable) rights of repurchase, in each case otherwise applicable to shares of restricted stock held by such Executive pursuant to the Equity Restriction Agreement between Executive and the Company, dated of even date herewith, shall lapse as of the effective date of such termination (iii) Executive will be entitled to receive other benefits only in accordance with the Company’s then applicable plans, policies, and arrangements, and (iv) Executive’s outstanding equity awards will terminate if and to the extent provided under the applicable award agreement(s). For purpose of this Section 7(c) only, the term disability shall refer to Executive’s failure to perform the essential functions of Executive’s position for a period of six (6) months, with or without reasonable accommodation, due to a disability, which, in the opinion of a qualified physician, is reasonably likely to be continuous or permanent for the remainder of Executive’s life.

 

3 of 10


(d) Sole Right to Severance. This Agreement is intended to represent Executive’s sole entitlement to severance payments and benefits in connection with the termination of his employment. To the extent Executive is entitled to receive severance or similar payments and/or benefits under any other Company plan, program, agreement, policy, practice, or the like, severance payments and benefits due to Executive under this Agreement will be so reduced.

(e) Timing of Payments. If, as of the Termination Date, Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §1.409A, as determined by SunPower’s legal counsel, the lump-sum payments specified in Sections 7(a) and 7(b) (and the amounts still due under Section 9(b))shall be paid on the first business day on or after the six-month anniversary of the Termination Date, or, if earlier, on notification of Executive’s death.

8. Conditions to Receipt of Severance; No Duty to Mitigate.

(a) Separation Agreement and Release of Claims. The receipt of any severance pursuant to Section 7 will be subject to Executive signing and not revoking a separation agreement and release of claims in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company. Such agreement will provide (among other things) the provisions of Section 8(c). No severance will be paid or provided until the separation agreement and release agreement becomes effective.

(b) Nonsolicitation. In the event of a termination of Executive’s employment that otherwise would entitle Executive to the receipt of severance pursuant to Section 7, Executive agrees that, during the one (1) year period following the Termination Date, Executive, directly or indirectly, whether as employee, owner, sole proprietor, partner, director, member, consultant, agent, founder, co-venturer or otherwise, will (i) not solicit, induce, or influence any person to modify his or her employment or consulting relationship with the Company or SunPower (the “No-Inducement”), and (ii) not solicit business from any of the Company’s or SunPower’s substantial customers and users (the “No-Solicit”). If Executive breaches the No-Inducement or the No-Solicit, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to the Company and SunPower, all continuing payments and benefits to which Executive otherwise may be entitled pursuant to Section 7 and/or Section 9(a) will cease immediately.

(c) Nondisparagement.

AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Agreement amends and restates the employment agreement entered into as of November 1, 2005 (the “Effective Date”) by and between PowerLight Corporation, a California corporation (the “Company”) and Howard J. Wenger (“Executive”) to reflect the proposed acquisition of the Company by SunPower Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“SunPower”) and merger (the “Merger”) of the Company with and into Pluto Acquisition Corporation LLC, a Delaware LLC (“PowerLight LLC”) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated November 15, 2006 among the Company, SunPower, PowerLight LLC and Thomas L. Dinwoodie as Shareholders’ Representative (the “Merger Agreement”). This Agreement as amended and restated shall be effective as of one business day following the date the Merger is consummated (the “Amendment Date”), and if the Merger does not occur such amendments shall be without effect. After the Amendment Date, all references to the Company shall be to PowerLight LLC.

1. Duties and Scope of Employment.

(a) Positions and Duties. As of the Amendment Date, Executive will serve as Executive Vice President of the Company, a subsidiary of SunPower. Executive will render such business and professional services in the performance of his duties, consistent with Executive’s position within the Company, as will reasonably be assigned to him by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the “Supervisor”). The period of Executive’s employment under this Agreement is referred to herein as the “Employment Term.”

(b) Obligations. During the Employment Term, Executive will devote Executive’s full business efforts and time to the Company. Executive acknowledges that the performance of his duties may require reasonable business travel. For the duration of the Employment Term, Executive agrees not to actively engage in any other employment, occupation, or consulting activity for any direct or indirect remuneration without the prior approval of the Supervisor (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that Executive may, without the approval of the Supervisor, serve in any capacity with any civic, educational, or charitable organization, provided such services do not interfere with Executive’s obligations to the Company.

2. At-Will Employment. Executive and the Company agree that Executive’s employment with the Company constitutes “at-will” employment. Executive and the Company acknowledge that, notwithstanding the term described in Section 3, this employment relationship may be terminated at any time, upon written notice to the other party, with or without good cause or for any or no cause, at the option either of the Company or Executive. However, as described in this Agreement, Executive may be entitled to severance benefits depending upon the circumstances of Executive’s termination of employment. Upon the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason, in addition to the severance compensation provided elsewhere in this Agreement, Executive will be entitled to payment of all accrued but unpaid vacation, expense reimbursements, and other benefits due to Executive through his termination date under any Company-provided or paid plans, policies, and arrangements. Executive agrees to resign from all positions that he holds with the Company (other than his position, if any, as a member of the Board of Directors of SunPower (the “Board”)) immediately following the termination of his employment if the Supervisor so requests.

3. Term of Agreement. This Agreement will have an initial term of three years commencing on the Effective Date. On the third anniversary of the Effective Date, and on each three-year anniversary thereafter, this Agreement automatically will renew for an additional three-year term unless the Company provides Executive with notice of non-renewal at least 120 days prior to the date of automatic renewal.

4. Compensation.

(a) Base Salary. Commencing as of the date when the Company implements its Company-wide salary increases for 2007, the Company will pay Executive an initial monthly salary of $19,376.92 as compensation for his services (the “Base Salary”). The Base Salary will not be subject to further increase as a result of SunPower’s separate implementation of its own company-wide salary increases for 2007. The Base Salary will be paid periodically in accordance with SunPower’s normal payroll practices and be subject to the usual, required withholding. Executive’s salary will be subject to review, and adjustments will be made based upon SunPower’s standard practices.

(b) Annual Bonus. Executive shall be eligible to participate in SunPower’s Key Employee Bonus Plan (“KEBP”). Executive’s target bonus will be determined from time to time by the Supervisor in accordance with the KEBP (“Target Bonus”); provided, however, that Executive’s initial Target Bonus shall be 50% of the Base Salary. The actual bonus paid may be higher or lower than the Target Bonus for over- or under-achievement of goals as determined by the Supervisor. Executive’s annual bonus, if any, will be payable each quarter and/or year upon completion of a performance review by the Supervisor.

(c) Equity Compensation. Executive shall be granted shares of SunPower stock in accordance with Section 4.13(a) and Schedule 4.13 of the Merger Agreement, the transfer restrictions for which shall lapse in equal annual installments over four years from the Amendment Date in accordance with the terms of the restricted stock agreements relating thereto. Executive may be entitled to participate in SunPower’s equity incentive programs, as determined from time to time by the Board and/or its compensation committee (including being considered in connection with SunPower’s annual evergreen equity incentive granting program commencing in 2007).

6. Expenses. The Company will reimburse Executive for reasonable travel, entertainment, and other expenses incurred by Executive in the furtherance of the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder, in accordance with SunPower’s expense reimbursement and other policies as in effect from time to time.

7. Severance.

(a) Termination Without Cause or Resignation for Good Reason . If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason, then, subject to Section 8, Executive will receive: (i) a lump-sum payment equal to Executive’s monthly Base Salary in effect immediately prior to the date of Executive’s employment termination (“Termination Date”) multiplied by the Section 7(a) Multiple, (ii) in the event the Termination Date following a completed fiscal year for which Executive’s annual bonus relating to such prior completed fiscal year has not been paid as of the Termination Date, a lump-sum payment equal to the actual bonus that would have been paid for such completed fiscal year (iii) a lump-sum payment equal to Executive’s Target Bonus in effect immediately prior to the Termination Date divided by twelve (12) and multiplied by the number of whole calendar months between the commencement of the then current fiscal year and the Termination Date, and (iv) Company-paid coverage for Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents under the Company’s Benefit Plans for a number of months equal to the Section 7(a) Multiple, or, if earlier, until Executive is eligible for similar benefits from another employer (provided Executive validly elects to continue coverage under applicable law). As used herein, the “Section 7(a) Multiple” means six (6) plus the number of continuous full years of Executive’s employment with the Company, up to a maximum of twelve (12).

(b) Voluntary Termination without Good Reason; Termination for Cause. If Executive’s employment with the Company terminates voluntarily by Executive without Good Reason or is terminated for Cause by the Company, then (i) all further vesting of Executive’s outstanding equity awards will terminate immediately, (ii) all payments of compensation by the Company to Executive hereunder will terminate immediately (except as to amounts already earned), and (iii) Executive will be paid all expense reimbursements and other benefits due to Executive through his termination date under any Company-provided or paid plans, policies, and arrangements.

For purpose of this Section 7(c) only, the term disability shall refer to Executive’s failure to perform the essential functions of Executive’s position for a period of six (6) months, with or without reasonable accommodation, due to a disability, which, in the opinion of a qualified physician, is reasonably likely to be continuous or permanent for the remainder of Executive’s life.

(d) Sole Right to Severance. This Agreement is intended to represent Executive’s sole entitlement to severance payments and benefits in connection with the termination of his employment. To the extent Executive is entitled to receive severance or similar payments and/or benefits under any other Company plan, program, agreement, policy, practice, or the like, severance payments and benefits due to Executive under this Agreement will be so reduced.

(e) Timing of Payments. If, as of the Termination Date, Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §1.409A, as determined by SunPower’s legal counsel, the lump-sum payments specified in Sections 7(a) and 7(b) (and the amounts still due under Section 9(b))shall be paid on the first business day on or after the six-month anniversary of the Termination Date, or, if earlier, on notification of Executive’s death.

8. Conditions to Receipt of Severance; No Duty to Mitigate.

(a) Separation Agreement and Release of Claims. The receipt of any severance pursuant to Section 7 will be subject to Executive signing and not revoking a separation agreement and release of claims in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company. Such agreement will provide (among other things) the provisions of Section 8(c). No severance will be paid or provided until the separation agreement and release agreement becomes effective.

(b) Nonsolicitation. In the event of a termination of Executive’s employment that otherwise would entitle Executive to the receipt of severance pursuant to Section 7, Executive agrees that, during the one (1) year period following the Termination Date, Executive, directly or indirectly, whether as employee, owner, sole proprietor, partner, director, member, consultant, agent, founder, co-venturer or otherwise, will (i) not solicit, induce, or influence any person to modify his or her employment or consulting relationship with the Company or SunPower (the “No-Inducement”), and (ii) not solicit business from any of the Company’s or SunPower’s substantial customers and users (the “No-Solicit”). If Executive breaches the No-Inducement or the No-Solicit, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to the Company and SunPower, all continuing payments and benefits to which Executive otherwise may be entitled pursuant to Section 7 and/or Section 9(a) will cease immediately.

The foregoing restrictions will not apply to any statements that are made truthfully in response to a subpoena or other compulsory legal process.

(d) No Duty to Mitigate. Executive will not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment contemplated by this Agreement, nor will any earnings that Executive may receive from any other source reduce any such payment.

9. Acceleration of Vesting Upon Change of Control.

Exhibit 10.3

LOGO

BRUCE R. LEDESMA

AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Agreement amends and restates the employment agreement entered into as of November 1, 2005 (the “Effective Date”) by and between PowerLight Corporation, a California corporation (the “Company”) and Bruce R. Ledesma (“Executive”) to reflect the proposed acquisition of the Company by SunPower Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“SunPower”) and merger (the “Merger”) of the Company with and into Pluto Acquisition Corporation LLC, a Delaware LLC (“PowerLight LLC”) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated November 15, 2006 among the Company, SunPower, PowerLight LLC and Thomas L. Dinwoodie as Shareholders’ Representative. This Agreement as amended and restated shall be effective as of one business day following the date the Merger is consummated (the “Amendment Date”), and if the Merger does not occur such amendments shall be without effect. After the Amendment Date, all references to the Company shall be to PowerLight LLC.

1. Duties and Scope of Employment.

(a) Positions and Duties. As of the Amendment Date, Executive will serve as Executive Vice President, General Counsel of the Company, a subsidiary of SunPower. Executive will render such business and professional services in the performance of his duties, consistent with Executive’s position within the Company, as will reasonably be assigned to him by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the “Supervisor”). The period of Executive’s employment under this Agreement is referred to herein as the “Employment Term.”

(b) Obligations. During the Employment Term, Executive will devote Executive’s full business efforts and time to the Company. Without Executive’s prior consent, Executive will not be required to devote a substantial portion of his efforts to SunPower or its subsidiaries (other than the Company), whether in a capacity such as General Counsel of SunPower or otherwise. Executive acknowledges that the performance of his duties may require reasonable business travel. For the duration of the Employment Term, Executive agrees not to actively engage in any other employment, occupation, or consulting activity for any direct or indirect remuneration without the prior approval of the Supervisor (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that Executive may, without the approval of the Supervisor, serve in any capacity with any civic, educational, or charitable organization, provided such services do not interfere with Executive’s obligations to the Company.

 

1 of 10


2. At-Will Employment. Executive and the Company agree that Executive’s employment with the Company constitutes “at-will” employment. Executive and the Company acknowledge that, notwithstanding the term described in Section 3, this employment relationship may be terminated at any time, upon written notice to the other party, with or without good cause or for any or no cause, at the option either of the Company or Executive. However, as described in this Agreement, Executive may be entitled to severance benefits depending upon the circumstances of Executive’s termination of employment. Upon the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason, in addition to the severance compensation provided elsewhere in this Agreement, Executive will be entitled to payment of all accrued but unpaid vacation, expense reimbursements, and other benefits due to Executive through his termination date under any Company-provided or paid plans, policies, and arrangements. Executive agrees to resign from all positions that he holds with the Company (other than his position, if any, as a member of the Board of Directors of SunPower (the “Board”)) immediately following the termination of his employment if the Supervisor so requests.

3. Term of Agreement. This Agreement will have an initial term of three years commencing on the Effective Date. On the third anniversary of the Effective Date, and on each three-year anniversary thereafter, this Agreement automatically will renew for an additional three-year term unless the Company provides Executive with notice of non-renewal at least 120 days prior to the date of automatic renewal.

4. Compensation.

(a) Base Salary. Commencing as of the date when the Company implements its Company-wide salary increases for 2007, the Company will pay Executive an initial monthly salary of $18,750 as compensation for his services (the “Base Salary”). The Base Salary will not be subject to further increase as a result of SunPower’s separate implementation of its own company-wide salary increases for 2007. The Base Salary will be paid periodically in accordance with SunPower’s normal payroll practices and be subject to the usual, required withholding. Executive’s salary will be subject to review, and adjustments will be made based upon SunPower’s standard practices.

(b) Annual Bonus. Executive shall be eligible to participate in SunPower’s Key Employee Bonus Plan (“KEBP”). Executive’s target bonus will be determined from time to time by the Supervisor in accordance with the KEBP (“Target Bonus”); provided, however, that Executive’s initial Target Bonus shall be 50% of the Base Salary. The actual bonus paid may be higher or lower than the Target Bonus for over- or under-achievement of goals as determined by the Supervisor. Executive’s annual bonus, if any, will be payable each quarter and/or year upon completion of a performance review by the Supervisor.

(c) Equity Compensation. Executive shall be granted shares of SunPower stock in accordance with Section 4.13(a) and Schedule 4.13 of the Merger Agreement, the transfer restrictions for which shall lapse in equal annual installments over four years from the Amendment Date in accordance with the terms of the restricted stock agreements relating thereto. Executive may be entitled to participate in SunPower’s equity incentive programs, as determined from time to time by the Board and/or its compensation committee (including being considered in connection with SunPower’s annual evergreen equity incentive granting program commencing in 2007).

5. Employee Benefits. During the Employment Term, Executive will be eligible to participate in accordance with the terms of all SunPower employee benefit plans, policies, and arrangements that are applicable to other senior executives of SunPower, as such plans, policies, and arrangements may exist from time to time.

6. Expenses. The Company will reimburse Executive for reasonable travel, entertainment, and other expenses incurred by Executive in the furtherance of the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder, in accordance with SunPower’s expense reimbursement and other policies as in effect from time to time.

7. Severance.

(a) Termination Without Cause or Resignation for Good Reason . If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason, then, subject to Section 8, Executive will receive: (i) a lump-sum payment equal to Executive’s monthly Base Salary in effect immediately prior to the date of Executive’s employment termination (“Termination Date”) multiplied by the Section 7(a) Multiple, (ii) in the event the Termination Date following a completed fiscal year for which Executive’s annual bonus relating to such prior completed fiscal year has not been paid as of the Termination Date, a lump-sum payment equal to the actual bonus that would have been paid for such completed fiscal year (iii) a lump-sum payment equal to Executive’s Target Bonus in effect immediately prior to the Termination Date divided by twelve (12) and multiplied by the number of whole calendar months between the commencement of the then current fiscal year and the Termination Date, and (iv) Company-paid coverage for Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents under the Company’s Benefit Plans for a number of months equal to the Section 7(a) Multiple, or, if earlier, until Executive is eligible for similar benefits from another employer (provided Executive validly elects to continue coverage under applicable law). As used herein, the “Section 7(a) Multiple” means six (6) plus the number of continuous full years of Executive’s employment with the Company, up to a maximum of twelve (12).

(b) Voluntary Termination without Good Reason; Termination for Cause. If Executive’s employment with the Company terminates voluntarily by Executive without Good Reason or is terminated for Cause by the Company, then (i) all further vesting of Executive’s outstanding equity awards will terminate immediately, (ii) all payments of compensation by the Company to Executive hereunder will terminate immediately (except as to amounts already earned), and (iii) Executive will be paid all expense reimbursements and other benefits due to Executive through his termination date under any Company-provided or paid plans, policies, and arrangements.

(c) Termination due to Death or Disability. If Executive’s employment terminates by reason of death or disability, then (i) Executive will be entitled to the payments described in Section 7(a)(ii) and (iii) above, (ii) all provisions regarding forfeiture, restrictions on transfer, and the Company’s or SunPower’s (as applicable) rights of repurchase, in each case otherwise applicable to shares of restricted stock held by such Executive pursuant to the Equity

 

3 of 10


Restriction Agreement between Executive and the Company, dated of even date herewith, shall lapse as of the effective date of such termination (iii) Executive will be entitled to receive other benefits only in accordance with the Company’s then applicable plans, policies, and arrangements, and (iv) Executive’s outstanding equity awards will terminate if and to the extent provided under the applicable award agreement(s). For purpose of this Section 7(c) only, the term disability shall refer to Executive’s failure to perform the essential functions of Executive’s position for a period of six (6) months, with or without reasonable accommodation, due to a disability, which, in the opinion of a qualified physician, is reasonably likely to be continuous or permanent for the remainder of Executive’s life.

(d) Sole Right to Severance. This Agreement is intended to represent Executive’s sole entitlement to severance payments and benefits in connection with the termination of his employment. To the extent Executive is entitled to receive severance or similar payments and/or benefits under any other Company plan, program, agreement, policy, practice, or the like, severance payments and benefits due to Executive under this Agreement will be so reduced.

(e) Timing of Payments. If, as of the Termination Date, Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §1.409A, as determined by SunPower’s legal counsel, the lump-sum payments specified in Sections 7(a) and 7(b) (and the amounts still due under Section 9(b))shall be paid on the first business day on or after the six-month anniversary of the Termination Date, or, if earlier, on notification of Executive’s death.

8. Conditions to Receipt of Severance; No Duty to Mitigate.

(a) Separation Agreement and Release of Claims. The receipt of any severance pursuant to Section 7 will be subject to Executive signing and not revoking a separation agreement and release of claims in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company. Such agreement will provide (among other things) the provisions of Section 8(c). No severance will be paid or provided until the separation agreement and release agreement becomes effective.

(b) Nonsolicitation. In the event of a termination of Executive’s employment that otherwise would entitle Executive to the receipt of severance pursuant to Section 7, Executive agrees that, during the one (1) year period following the Termination Date, Executive, directly or indirectly, whether as employee, owner, sole proprietor, partner, director, member, consultant, agent, founder, co-venturer or otherwise, will (i) not solicit, induce, or influence any person to modify his or her employment or consulting relationship with the Company or SunPower (the “No-Inducement”), and (ii) not solicit business from any of the Company’s or SunPower’s substantial customers and users (the “No-Solicit”). If Executive breaches the No-Inducement or the No-Solicit, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to the Company and SunPower, all continuing payments and benefits to which Executive otherwise may be entitled pursuant to Section 7 and/or Section 9(a) will cease immediately.

(c) Nondisparagement. In the event of a termination of Executive’s employment that otherwise would entitle Executive to the receipt of severance pursuant to Section 7, Executive agrees to refrain from any disparagement, criticism, defamation, slander of the Company or SunPower, its directors, its executive officers, or its employees, or tortious interference with the contracts and relationships of the Company or SunPower. The foregoing restrictions will not apply to any statements that are made truthfully in response to a subpoena or other compulsory legal process.

 

4 of 10


(d) No Duty to Mitigate. Executive will not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment contemplated by this Agreement, nor will any earnings that Executive may receive from any other source reduce any such payment.

9. Acceleration of Vesting Upon Change of Control.

(a) If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason, and the termination is in Connection with a Change of Control, then, subject to Section 8, (x) all of such Executive’s unvested options granted from and after the date the Merger is consummated will become fully vested and exercisable as of the date of such termination of employment and remain exercisable for the time period otherwise applicable to such options following such termination of employment pursuant to the applicable option plan and option agreement and (y) all provisions regarding forfeiture, restrictions on transfer, and the Company’s or SunPower’s (as applicable) rights of repurchase, in each case otherwise applicable to shares of restricted stock held by such Executive and granted from and after the date the Merger is consummated, shall lapse as of the effective date of such termination of employment.

(b) Section 280G Limitation. If any payment or benefit Executive would receive pursuant to Section 7 and/or Section 9(a), but determined without regard to any additional payment required under this Section 9(b), (collectively, the “Payment”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and (ii) be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties payable with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then Executive’s benefits under this Agreement shall be either: (1) delivered in full, or (2) delivered as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such benefits being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax, results in the receipt by Employee on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code.

(c) The accounting firm engaged by the Company for general audit purposes as of the day prior to the effective date of the Change of Control shall perform the foregoing calculations. If the accounting firm so engaged by the Company is also serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group which will control the Company upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company shall appoint a nationally recognized accounting firm other than the accounting firm engaged by the Company for general audit purposes to make the determinations required hereunder. The Company shall bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such accounting firm required to be made hereunder.

(d) The accounting firm engaged to make the determinations hereunder shall provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to the Company and

Executive within thirty (30) calendar days after the date on which such accounting firm has been engaged to make such determinations or such other time as requested by the Company or Executive.

EXHIBIT 10.4

FORM OF

EQUITY RESTRICTION AGREEMENT

This EQUITY RESTRICTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of November •, 2006, by and between SunPower Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and • (“Equity Holder”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement (as defined below).

BACKGROUND

A. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Parent, Pluto Acquisition Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), PowerLight Corporation, a California corporation (the “Company”), and Thomas L. Dinwoodie, as the representative of certain of the Company’s shareholders, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company has agreed, subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, to merge with and into Merger Sub with Merger Sub surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”).

B. If the Merger is approved by the requisite vote of the shareholders of the Company and the Merger is consummated, in connection with the Merger, in exchange for the shares of Company Capital Stock held by Equity Holder, Equity Holder will receive pursuant to Section 1.4 of the Merger Agreement a cash amount and shares of Parent Common Stock (the “Shares”).

C. If the Merger is approved by the requisite vote of the shareholders of the Company and the Merger is consummated, in connection with the Merger, the portion of each option held by Equity Holder to acquire shares of Company Common Stock that is vested as of immediately after the Effective Time of the Merger shall be converted into the right to receive a cash amount and an option to acquire Shares, the terms of which are set forth in Section 4.14(a)(i) of the Merger Agreement (a “Vested Parent Stock Option”).

D. As a condition to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Merger Agreement contemplates, among other things, that Equity Holder shall enter into this Agreement concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement and that this Agreement will become effective, if the Merger is approved by the requisite vote of the shareholders of the Company and the Merger is consummated, at the Effective Time.

E. Of Equity Holder’s combined total number of Shares described in B above and issuable upon exercise of Vested Parent Stock Options described in C above (the “Combined Shares”), 50% of such aggregate number (determined in accordance with Section 2(b), the “Restricted Shares”) shall be subject to the Repurchase Option and other restrictions as set forth in this Agreement and 50% (including all shares deposited into the Stock Escrow Fund pursuant to Section 1.4 of the Merger Agreement) shall not be subject to the Repurchase Option or other restrictions set forth in this Agreement (the “Unrestricted Shares”). To the extent that the term “Restricted Shares” refers to Shares issuable upon exercise of a Vested Parent Stock Option, the Repurchase Option shall be exercisable against the Vested Parent Stock Option itself, without the payment of any monetary consideration, to the extent that such option has not been exercised, and the term “Restricted Shares” shall mean the Vested Parent Stock Option.

AGREEMENT

The parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1. Definitions.

For purposes of this Agreement:

(a) “Cause” means (i) acts or omissions constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Equity Holder with respect to Equity Holder’s obligations or otherwise relating to the business of Parent or the Company, (ii) Equity Holder’s (A) felony conviction of, or felony plea of nolo contendere for, fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement, or a felony crime of moral turpitude, or (B) conviction of fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement, (iii) Equity Holder’s violation or breach of any fiduciary duty, or (iv) Equity Holder’s violation or breach of any contractual duty to Parent or the Company which duty is material to the performance of the Equity Holder’s duties or results in material damage to Parent, the Company or their business; provided that if any of the foregoing events is capable of being cured, Parent will provide notice to Equity Holder describing the nature of such event and Equity Holder will thereafter have 30 days to cure such event.


(b) “disability” means Equity Holder’s failure to perform the essential functions of Equity Holder’s position for a period of six months, with or without reasonable accommodation, due to a disability, which, in the opinion of a qualified physician, is reasonably likely to be continuous or permanent for the remainder of Equity Holder’s life.

(c) “Good Reason” means the occurrence of any of the following without Equity Holder’s express prior written consent: (i) a material reduction in Equity Holder’s position or duties after the Closing Date, (ii) a material breach of the Equity Holder’s employment agreement, unless such breach becomes cured by the Parent within 30 days after notice of such breach from the Equity Holder, (iii) a reduction in Equity Holder’s then-current base salary and target bonus, excluding a reduction that is applied to substantially all of Parent’s and the Company’s other senior executives, determined without regard to any actual bonus payments made to Equity Holder, (iv) a material reduction in the aggregate level of benefits made available to Equity Holder other than a reduction applied to substantially all of Parent’s and the Company’s other senior executives, (v) a relocation of Equity Holder’s primary place of business to a location that is more than 35 miles from the Company’s current location in Berkeley, California, or (vi) with respect to only Mr. Dinwoodie, a change in his reporting responsibility after the Effective Time of the Merger.

(d) “Transfer” means (a) any offer, pledge, sale, contract to sell, sale of any option or contract to purchase, purchase of any option or contract to sell, grant of any option, right or warrant to purchase, lending or other transfer or disposition of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Parent Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Parent Common Stock, or (b) the entering into of any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Parent Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (a) or (b) above is to be settled by delivery of Parent Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise.

2. Restricted Shares Subject to Repurchase Option. If the Merger is approved by the requisite vote of the shareholders of the Company and the Merger is consummated, as of the Effective Time:

(a) In the event of any (i) voluntary termination by Equity Holder of Equity Holder’s employment with Parent other than for Good Reason, or (ii) involuntary termination of Equity Holder’s employment with Parent by Parent for Cause, in each case before all of the Restricted Shares are released from the Repurchase Option (see Section 2(b) below), Parent shall, upon the date of such termination have an irrevocable option (the “Repurchase Option”) for a period of 90 days from such date to repurchase all or any portion of the Restricted Shares which are, at the date of such termination, Unreleased Shares (as defined in Section 2(b) below) at $0.01 per share (the “Repurchase Price”). For purposes of this Agreement, Equity Holder shall be deemed to be employed by Parent if Equity Holder is employed by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries. For the sake of clarity, to the extent that the term “Restricted Shares” refers to Shares issuable upon exercise of a Vested Parent Stock Option, the Repurchase Option shall be exercisable against the Vested Parent Stock Option itself, without the payment of any monetary consideration, to the extent that such option has not been exercised, and the term “Restricted Shares” shall mean the Vested Parent Stock Option.

(b) Subject to Section 2(h), one-fourth of the Restricted Shares shall be released from the Repurchase Option on the date that is six months after the Closing Date, one-fourth of the Restricted Shares shall be released from the Repurchase Option on the date that is 12 months after the Closing Date, one-fourth of the Restricted Shares shall be released from the Repurchase Option on the date that is 18 months after the Closing Date, and one-fourth of the Restricted Shares shall be released from the Repurchase Option on the date that is 24 months after the Closing Date; provided that Equity Holder’s employment by Parent has not been terminated under the circumstances described in Section 2(a) above prior to the date of any such release. Any of the Restricted Shares that have not yet been released from the Repurchase Option are referred to herein as “Unreleased Shares.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) in determining which shares of the Combined Shares constitute Restricted Shares, shares issuable upon exercise of Vested Parent Stock Options shall be counted first, and Shares issued pursuant to Section 1.4 of the Merger Agreement shall constitute Restricted Shares second and only to the extent that the number of shares issuable upon exercise of Vested Parent Stock Options received by the Equity Holder as described in Recital C is less than 50% of the aggregate number of Combined Shares, and (ii) for purposes of determining whether any share of the Combined Shares which the Equity Holder Transfers or attempts to Transfer is a Restricted Share or an

 

2


Unrestricted Share, such Share shall be deemed to be an Unrestricted Share unless and until such Equity Holder Transfers or attempts to Transfer a number of shares equal to the number of Unrestricted Shares then held by such Equity Holder, after which all remaining shares of the Combined Shares shall be deemed to be Restricted Shares.

(c) The Repurchase Option shall be exercised by Parent by written notice to Equity Holder (with a copy to the Escrow Agent (as defined below)) and by delivery to Equity Holder with such notice of a check in the amount (the “Total Purchase Price”) of the product of (i) the Repurchase Price, and (ii) the number of the Unreleased Shares being repurchased. Upon delivery of such notice and the payment of the Total Purchase Price, Parent shall become the legal and beneficial owner of the Unreleased Shares being repurchased and all rights and interests therein or relating thereto, and Parent shall have the right to retain and transfer to its own name the Unreleased Shares being repurchased by Parent. Whenever Parent shall have the right to repurchase Unreleased Shares hereunder, Parent may designate and assign one or more employees, officers, directors or equity holders of Parent or other persons or organizations to exercise all or a part of Parent’s purchase rights under this Agreement and purchase all or a part of such Unreleased Shares.

(d) Equity Holder agrees to deliver the certificate(s) evidencing the Restricted Shares, together with a stock assignment in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A with respect to such Restricted Shares (as such shares are issued to Equity Holder), executed by Equity Holder (with the date and number of shares left blank), to an escrow holder designated by Parent (the “Escrow Agent”). The certificate(s) and stock assignment are to be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Joint Escrow Instructions of Parent and Equity Holder set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto, which instructions shall also be delivered to the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall have no liability for any act or omission hereunder while acting in good faith.

(e) Subject to the terms hereof, Equity Holder shall have all the rights of an Equity Holder with respect to the Restricted Shares while they are held in escrow, including without limitation, the right to vote the Restricted Shares and to receive any cash dividends declared thereon. If, from time to time during the term of the Repurchase Option, there is (i) any stock dividend, stock split or other change in the Restricted Shares, or (ii) any merger or sale of all or substantially all of the assets or other acquisition of Parent where the Unreleased Shares are not released from the Repurchase Option, then any and all new, substituted or additional securities to which Equity Holder is entitled by reason of Equity Holder’s ownership of the Restricted Shares shall be immediately subject to this escrow, deposited with the Escrow Agent and included thereafter as “Restricted Shares” for purposes of this Agreement and the Repurchase Option.

(f) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2(f), Equity Holder agrees that none of the Restricted Shares (or any beneficial interest therein) shall be Transferred in any way until such Restricted Shares are released from the Repurchase Option in accordance with this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Equity Holder may transfer the Restricted Shares, in whole or in part, to a spouse or lineal descendant (a “Family Member”), a trust for the exclusive benefit of Equity Holder and/or Family Members, or a partnership or other entity in which all the beneficial owners are Equity Holder and/or Family Members, provided that the transferee agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

(g) The share certificate evidencing the Restricted Shares issued hereunder shall be endorsed with the following legend:

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF A STOCK RESTRICTION AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE HOLDER OF THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE CORPORATION.

3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event of any (i) voluntary termination by Equity Holder of Equity Holder’s employment with Parent for Good Reason, (ii) involuntary termination of Equity Holder’s employment with Parent by Parent without Cause, or (iii) termination of Equity Holder’s employment by reason of death or disability, before all of the Restricted Shares are released from the Repurchase Option, the Repurchase Option shall immediately terminate and all Shares which are Unreleased Shares shall thereupon be released from the Repurchase Option. Upon request from Equity Holder, Parent shall within two business days inform the Escrow Agent immediately that the Repurchase Option has terminated and instruct the Escrow Agent to release all Restricted Shares remaining in escrow with the Escrow Agent to Equity Holder. In the event a dispute arises between Equity Holder and Parent as to whether (x) any voluntary resignation by Equity Holder was or was not with Good Reason or (y) whether any involuntary termination of Equity Holder’s employment was or was not

 

3


with Cause, the Escrow Agent shall continue to hold all Restricted Shares which were Unreleased Shares at the time Equity Holder’s employment terminated until such time as either Equity Holder and Parent resolve such dispute and jointly instruct Escrow Agent on the release of any such Restricted Shares or such dispute is resolved in accordance with the provisions of Section 7(j).

4. Tax Consequences. Equity Holder has reviewed with Equity Holder’s own tax advisors the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this Agreement, including the availability and consequences of an election under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and shall timely file such an election as to any Shares that constitute Restricted Shares (as determined pursuant to clause (i) of the last sentence of Section 2(b)). Equity Holder is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of Parent or any of its agents. Equity Holder understands that Equity Holder (and not Parent) shall be responsible for Equity Holder’s own tax liability that may arise as a result of this Agreement.

5. Termination. If the Merger Agreement is terminated, this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect.

6. General Provisions.

(a) The parties hereto acknowledge that this Agreement is not an offer of securities and that the parties’ execution of this Agreement does not indicate a commitment to buy or sell securities. By signing this Agreement, Equity Holder is not committing to vote in favor of the Merger; Equity Holder’s vote for or against the Merger will be conducted separately.

(b) This Agreement may not be changed or modified, except by an agreement in writing executed by Parent and Equity Holder.

(c) Any party hereto may, to the extent legally allowed, waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions for the benefit of such party contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. Without limiting the generality or effect of the preceding sentence, no delay in exercising any right under this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of such right, and no waiver of any breach or default shall be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default of the same or any other provision in this Agreement.

(d) All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when delivered personally, one business day after having been dispatched by a nationally recognized overnight courier service or when sent via facsimile (with acknowledgment of complete transmission) to the parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified by like notice):

SunPower Closes PowerLight Acquisition

SunPower to Announce Fourth-Quarter, Year-end 2006 Results on January 25, 2007

SAN JOSE, Calif., January 10, 2007 – SunPower Corporation (NASDAQ: SPWR), a Silicon Valley-based manufacturer of the world’s highest-efficiency, commercially available solar cells and solar panels, today announced the closing of its acquisition of PowerLight Corp., a privately owned solar power systems provider based in Berkeley, Calif.

The PowerLight acquisition is expected to be immediately accretive to SunPower’s non-GAAP earnings.1 PowerLight is a leading global provider of large-scale solar power systems, delivering over a decade of experience and financial value to commercial, public sector, utility and residential customers. PowerLight has designed and deployed hundreds of large-scale solar systems with a total capacity of more than 100 megawatts. SunPower intends to file a registration statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission to register the shares of SunPower’s common stock issued in connection with the acquisition for resale by PowerLight shareholders.

SunPower will be hosting a conference call to discuss fourth-quarter and year-end 2006 results, PowerLight 2006 results and guidance for the combined company at 10:30 a.m. Pacific Standard Time on Thursday, January 25, 2007 which can be accessed by dialing +1-517-623-4618, passcode SunPower. The event will also be broadcast over the Internet and can be accessed through SunPower’s web site at http://investors.sunpowercorp.com/. The webcast will be archived for two weeks following the event. Full text of the press release and supplemental financial information will be made available on the SunPower web site at http://investors.sunpowercorp.com/ on the morning of the conference call.


1 The PowerLight acquisition is expected to be dilutive to SunPower’s GAAP earnings until 2009 as a result of amortization charges from intangible assets and stock-based compensation.


“With the acquisition of PowerLight, SunPower seeks to offer our investors accelerated revenue growth and market diversification as we deliver faster solar system innovation to our customers,” said Tom Werner, SunPower CEO. “Together, we plan to reduce the installed cost of a solar system by half over the next five years. When we achieve that goal, we believe our solar systems will produce power that can compete with retail electric rates and become a mainstream energy resource. Radically simplifying and improving the customer experience is a crucial step to reducing solar power costs. The downstream or customer delivery portion of the value chain represents up to 50 percent of today’s installed solar system cost. We believe that we can accelerate downstream efficiency gains by combining the technology portfolios, supply chains, product development expertise and services of our two companies.”

As specified in the merger agreement, the total consideration for the acquisition is $265 million plus stock-based employee retention amounts totaling $67.5 million which vest over two to four years. The aggregate consideration consists of approximately $130.0 million in cash and $202.5 million in stock and is expected to result in a tax-free merger for PowerLight’s shareholders. The stock portion of the purchase consideration is subject to final determination for accounting purposes and is likely to be higher than the amounts specified above based on the Company’s recent stock price.

PowerLight is a wholly-owned subsidiary of SunPower. In the U.S., Germany, Spain, Portugal, Italy, and Korea, PowerLight designs, develops, operates and maintains solar electric power plants ranging from one megawatt to more than 10 megawatts, including two of the world’s largest solar electric power plants. In North America, PowerLight is a leading integrator of large, multi-hundred-kilowatt commercial rooftop and ground-mounted solar power plants in California, New Jersey, Nevada, and Hawaii. PowerLight’s SunTile® integrates SunPower’s high-efficiency solar cells directly into roofing material as part of a complete residential solar system solution selected by more than a dozen leading production homebuilders in California. SunPower now has 1,600 employees in ten sales offices and four manufacturing locations worldwide.
