 Dear Sir(s): 
 The purpose of this communication (this “Confirmation”) is to set forth the terms and conditions of the above-referenced
transaction entered into on the Trade Date specified below (the “Transaction”) between Bank of America, N.A. (“Dealer”) and SunPower Corporation (“Counterparty”). This communication constitutes a
“Confirmation” as referred to in the Agreement specified below. 
 1. This Confirmation is subject to, and
incorporates, the definitions and provisions of the 2000 ISDA Definitions (including the Annex thereto) (the “2000 Definitions”) and the definitions and provisions of the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “Equity
Definitions”, and together with the 2000 Definitions, the “Definitions”), in each case as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”). In the event of any inconsistency
between the 2000 Definitions and the Equity Definitions, the Equity Definitions will govern. Certain defined terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Base Indenture, dated as of February 7, 2007, between Counterparty and
Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, to be dated as of April 1, 2010 (the “Fourth Supplemental Indenture”, and,
together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”) relating to the USD 220,000,000 principal amount of 4.50% senior convertible debentures due 2015 (the “Convertible Debentures”). In the event of any inconsistency
between the terms defined in the Indenture and this Confirmation, this Confirmation shall govern. The Transaction shall be the only transaction under the Agreement. References herein to sections of the Indenture are based on the draft of the
Indenture most recently reviewed by the parties at the time of execution of this Confirmation. If any relevant sections of the Indenture are changed, added or renumbered between the execution of this Confirmation and the execution of the Indenture,
the parties will amend this Confirmation in good faith to preserve the economic intent of the parties based on the draft of the Indenture so reviewed. The parties further acknowledge that references to the Indenture herein are references to the
Indenture as in effect on the date of its execution and if the Indenture is amended following its execution, any such amendment will be disregarded for purposes of this Confirmation unless the parties agree otherwise in writing. The Transaction is
subject to early unwind if the closing of the Convertible Debentures is not consummated for any reason, as set forth below in Section 8(h). 









 

 

  

 Each party is hereby advised, and each such party acknowledges, that the other party has
engaged in, or refrained from engaging in, substantial financial transactions and has taken other material actions in reliance upon the parties’ entry into the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates on the terms and conditions set forth
below. 
 This Confirmation evidences a complete and binding agreement between Dealer and Counterparty as to the terms of the
Transaction to which this Confirmation relates. This Confirmation shall be subject to an agreement (the “Agreement”) in the form of the 1992 ISDA Master Agreement (Multicurrency – Cross Border) as published by ISDA as if Dealer
and Counterparty had executed an agreement in such form on the date hereof (but without any Schedule except for (i) the election of Loss and Second Method and US Dollars (“USD”) as the Termination Currency, (ii) the
replacement of the word “third” in the last line of Section 5(a)(i) with the word “first”, (iii) the election that the “Cross Default” provisions of Section 5(a)(vi) shall apply to the Counterparty and
Dealer, each with a “Threshold Amount” of USD25 million and 2% of Dealer’s shareholders’ equity, respectively, (iv) the deletion of the phrase “, or becoming capable at such time of being declared,” in the seventh
line of Section 5(a)(vi) of the Agreement and (v) the election that “Credit Event Upon Merger” under Section 5(b)(iv) shall apply to the Counterparty and Dealer). 
 All provisions contained in, or incorporated by reference to, the Agreement will govern this Confirmation except as expressly modified
herein. In the event of any inconsistency between this Confirmation and either the Definitions or the Agreement, this Confirmation shall govern.

customary representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to Dealer, due diligence rights (for Dealer or any designated buyer of the Hedge Shares from Dealer), opinions and certificates and such
other documentation as is customary for private placements agreements, all reasonably acceptable to Dealer (in which case, the Calculation Agent shall make any adjustments to the terms of the Transaction that are necessary, in its reasonable
judgment, to compensate Dealer for any discount from the public market price of the Shares incurred on the sale of Hedge Shares in a private placement); or (iii) purchase the Hedge Shares from Dealer at the VWAP Price on such Exchange Business
Days, and in the amounts, requested by Dealer. For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances shall Counterparty be obligated to make the election described in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence. 
 (b) Repurchase Notices. Counterparty shall, on any day on which Counterparty effects any repurchase of Shares, promptly give Dealer a
written notice of such repurchase (a “Repurchase Notice”) on such day if, following such repurchase, the Notice Percentage as determined on such day is (i) greater than 3.0% and (ii) greater by 0.5% than the Notice
Percentage included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice (or, in the case of the first such Repurchase Notice, greater than the Notice Percentage as of the date hereof). The “Notice Percentage” as of any day is the
fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is the Number of Shares and the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day. In the event that Counterparty fails to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice on the
day and in the manner specified in this Section 8(b) then Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Dealer, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons (Dealer and each such person
being an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), joint or several, to which such Indemnified

  

 11 










 

 

  

 
Party may become subject under applicable securities laws, including without limitation, Section 16 of the Exchange Act, relating to or arising out of such failure. If for any reason the
foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnified Party, then Counterparty shall contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified
Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability. In addition, Counterparty will reimburse any Indemnified Party for all expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) as they are incurred (after notice to Counterparty) in
connection with the investigation of, preparation for or defense or settlement of any pending or threatened claim or any action, suit or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto and whether or not such
claim, action, suit or proceeding is initiated or brought by or on behalf of Counterparty. This indemnity shall survive the completion of the Transaction contemplated by this Confirmation and any assignment and delegation of the Transaction made
pursuant to this Confirmation or the Agreement shall inure to the benefit of any permitted assignee of Dealer. 
 (c)
Additional Termination Events. (i) The occurrence of (A) an event of default with respect to Counterparty under the terms of the Convertible Debentures as set forth in Section 5.01 of the Fourth Supplemental Indenture or
(B) an Amendment Event shall be an Additional Termination Event with respect to which the Transaction is the sole Affected Transaction and Counterparty is the sole Affected Party, and Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early
Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement. 
 “Amendment Event” means that
Counterparty amends, modifies, supplements or obtains a waiver in respect of any term of the Indenture or the Convertible Debentures governing the principal amount, coupon, maturity, repurchase obligation of Counterparty, redemption right of
Counterparty, any term relating to conversion of the Convertible Debentures (including changes to the conversion price, conversion settlement dates or conversion conditions), or any term that would require consent of the holders of not less than
100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Debentures to amend, in each case without the prior consent of Dealer. 
 (ii) If at any time the senior unsecured debt of Dealer is rated Baa1 or lower by Moody’s Investor Services, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or BBB+ or lower by Standard and Poor’s Rating Services
(“S&P”) (a “Ratings Downgrade”), then an Additional Termination Event, with Counterparty as the sole Affected Party, the Transaction as the sole Affected Transaction and Counterparty as the party entitled to
designate an Early Termination Date, shall occur on the date three Exchange Business Days following the occurrence of such Ratings Downgrade (the “Downgrade Deadline”) unless, on or prior to the Downgrade Deadline, either
(i) Dealer has agreed to provide collateral to Counterparty on a mark-to-market basis to secure Dealer’s obligations hereunder on terms commercially reasonably acceptable to Counterparty and Dealer or (ii) Dealer shall have
transferred and assigned its obligations hereunder to a person with (or whose obligations hereunder are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by a person with) a credit rating of A2 or higher from Moody’s and A or higher from S&P (and
Counterparty agrees that it will not object to any such transfer and assignment). In the case of clause (i), eligible collateral shall include cash, cash equivalents and equity securities of Counterparty, including without limitation Shares and
any warrants issued by Counterparty, and any other collateral reasonably acceptable to Counterparty, and the Calculation Agent shall make all determinations of exposure and collateral value. 
 (d) Right to Extend. Dealer may postpone any Settlement Date or any other date of valuation or delivery by Dealer to a date no later
than the Final Disruption Date to an Exercise Date occurring on the Expiration Date, in the case of a date of valuation, or the date one Settlement Cycle following the Final Disruption Date applicable to an Exercise Date occurring on the Expiration
Date, in the case of a date of delivery, with respect to some or all of the relevant Options (in which event the Calculation Agent shall make appropriate adjustments to the Delivery Obligation), if Dealer determines, in its reasonable discretion,
that such extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate to preserve Dealer’s hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions in the cash market or the stock borrow market or other relevant market or to
enable Dealer to effect purchases of Shares in connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if Dealer were Counterparty or an affiliated purchaser of Counterparty, be in compliance with
applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer.

 (e) Transfer and Assignment. Either party may transfer any of its rights or
obligations under the Transaction with the prior written consent of the non-transferring party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; provided that Dealer may transfer or assign without any consent of Counterparty its rights and
obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, to any person with (or whose obligations hereunder are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by a person with) a credit rating of “A” or higher from Standard and Poor’s Rating Services or
“A2” or higher from Moody’s Investor Services, Inc.; provided further that at any time at which (1) the Equity Percentage exceeds 8%, (2) Dealer, Dealer Group (as defined below) or any person whose ownership position
would be aggregated with that of Dealer or Dealer Group (Dealer, Dealer Group or any such person, a “Dealer Person”) under Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL Takeover Statute”) or
any state or federal bank holding company or banking laws, or other federal, state or local regulations or regulatory orders applicable to ownership of Shares (“Applicable Laws”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns,
controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership in excess of a number of Shares equal to (x) the number of Shares that would give rise to reporting or registration obligations or other requirements
(including obtaining prior approval by a state or federal regulator) of a Dealer Person under Applicable Laws (including, without limitation, “interested stockholder” or “acquiring person” status under the DGCL Takeover Statute)
and with respect to which such requirements have not been met or the relevant approval has not been received minus (y) 2% of the number of Shares outstanding on the date of determination (either such condition described in clause
(1) or (2), an “Excess Ownership Position”), or (3) a Hedging Disruption has occurred and is continuing, if Dealer, in its discretion, is unable to effect a transfer or assignment to a third party in accordance with the
requirements set forth above after using its commercially reasonable efforts on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to Dealer such that an Excess Ownership Position or a Hedging Disruption, as the case may be, no longer exists, Dealer may designate
any Scheduled Trading Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion (the “Terminated Portion”) of the Transaction, such that such Excess Ownership Position or Hedging Disruption, as the case may be, no longer exists. In
the event that Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (i) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect
of a Transaction having terms identical to the Terminated Portion of the Transaction, (ii) Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (iii) such portion of the Transaction shall be the only
Terminated Transaction. The “Equity Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Dealer and any of its affiliates subject to aggregation with
Dealer for purposes of the “beneficial ownership” test under Section 13 of the Exchange Act and all persons who may form a “group” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act) with Dealer (collectively,
“Dealer Group”) “beneficially own” (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act) without duplication on such day and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day.

 (f) Equity Rights. Dealer acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to convey to it rights with
respect to the Transaction that are senior to the claims of common stockholders in the event of Counterparty’s bankruptcy. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that the preceding sentence shall not apply at any time other than during
Counterparty’s bankruptcy to any claim arising as a result of a breach by Counterparty of any of its obligations under this Confirmation or the Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that this Confirmation is not secured
by any collateral that would otherwise secure the obligations of Counterparty herein under or pursuant to any other agreement. 
 (g) Netting and Set-off. 
 (i) If on any date cash would otherwise be payable or Shares or other
property would otherwise be deliverable hereunder or pursuant to the Agreement or pursuant to any other agreement between the parties by Counterparty to Dealer and cash would otherwise be payable or Shares or other property would otherwise be
deliverable hereunder or pursuant to the Agreement or pursuant to any other agreement between the parties by Dealer to Counterparty and the type of property required to be paid or delivered by each such party on such date is the same, then, on such
date, each such party’s obligation to make such payment or delivery will be automatically satisfied and discharged and, if the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable or deliverable by one such party exceeds the aggregate amount
that would otherwise have been payable or

  

 13 










 

 

  

 
deliverable by the other such party, replaced by an obligation of the party by whom the larger aggregate amount would have been payable or deliverable to pay or deliver to the other party the
excess of the larger aggregate amount over the smaller aggregate amount. 
 (ii) In addition to and without
limiting any rights of set-off that a party hereto may have as a matter of law, pursuant to contract or otherwise, upon the occurrence of an Early Termination Date, Dealer shall have the right to terminate, liquidate and otherwise close out the
Transaction and to set off any obligation or right that Dealer or any affiliate of Dealer may have to or against Counterparty hereunder or under the Agreement against any right or obligation Dealer or any of its affiliates may have against or to
Counterparty, including without limitation any right to receive a payment or delivery pursuant to any provision of the Agreement or hereunder. In the case of a set-off of any obligation to release, deliver or pay assets against any right to receive
assets of the same type, such obligation and right shall be set off in kind. In the case of a set-off of any obligation to release, deliver or pay assets against any right to receive assets of any other type, the value of each of such obligation and
such right shall be determined by the Calculation Agent and the result of such set-off shall be that the net obligor shall pay or deliver to the other party an amount of cash or assets, at the net obligor’s option, with a value (determined, in
the case of a delivery of assets, by the Calculation Agent) equal to that of the net obligation. In determining the value of any obligation to release or deliver Shares or any right to receive Shares, the value at any time of such obligation or
right shall be determined by reference to the market value of the Shares at such time, as determined by the Calculation Agent. If an obligation or right is unascertained at the time of any such set-off, the Calculation Agent may in good faith
estimate the amount or value of such obligation or right, in which case set-off will be effected in respect of that estimate, and the relevant party shall account to the other party at the time such obligation or right is ascertained. 
 (iii) Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement (including without limitation Section 6(f) thereof) and this
Confirmation (including without limitation this Section 8(g)) or any other agreement between the parties to the contrary, (A) Counterparty shall not net or set off its obligations under the Transaction, if any, against its rights against
Dealer under any other transaction or instrument and (B) in the event of bankruptcy or liquidation of Counterparty, neither party shall have the right to set off any obligation that it may have to the other party under the Transaction against
any obligation such other party may have to it under the Agreement, this Confirmation or any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise. Dealer will give notice to Counterparty of any netting or set off effected
under this provision. 
 (h) Early Unwind. In the event the sale by Counterparty of the Convertible Debentures is not
consummated with the Initial Purchasers (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for any reason by the close of business in New York on April 1, 2010 (or such later date as agreed upon by the parties, which in
no event shall be later than April 8, 2010) (April 1, 2010 or such later date being the “Early Unwind Date”), the Transaction shall automatically terminate (the “Early Unwind”), on the Early Unwind Date and
(i) the Transaction and all of the respective rights and obligations of Dealer and Counterparty thereunder shall be cancelled and terminated and (ii) Counterparty shall deliver to Dealer, other than in cases involving a breach of the
Purchase Agreement by the Initial Purchasers, an amount in cash equal to the aggregate amount of costs and expenses relating to the unwinding of Dealer’s hedging activities in respect of the Transaction (including market losses incurred in
reselling any Shares purchased by Dealer or its affiliates in connection with such hedging activities, unless Counterparty agrees to purchase any such Shares at the cost at which Dealer purchased such Shares), but after giving effect to any gains
experienced by Dealer. Following such termination, cancellation and payment, each party shall be released and discharged by the other party from and agrees not to make any claim against the other party with respect to any obligations or liabilities
of either party arising out of and to be performed in connection with the Transaction either prior to or after the Early Unwind Date. 
 (i) Designation by Dealer. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any funds to or from Counterparty, Dealer may designate any of its
affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such funds and otherwise to perform Dealer obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to
the extent of any such performance.

 (j) Disclosure. Effective from the date of commencement of discussions concerning
the Transaction, Counterparty and each of its employees, representatives, or other agents may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the Transaction and all materials of any kind
(including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to Counterparty relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. 
 (k) Counterparts. This Confirmation may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 
 (l) Waiver of Trial by Jury. EACH OF COUNTERPARTY AND DEALER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES (ON ITS OWN BEHALF AND, TO THE EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ON BEHALF OF ITS STOCKHOLDERS) ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE TRANSACTION OR THE ACTIONS OF
COUNTERPARTY OF ITS AFFILIATES OR DEALER OR ITS AFFILIATES IN THE NEGOTIATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF. 
 (m)
Submission to Jurisdiction. Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding by the other party against it relating to the Transaction to which it is a party, or for
recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, sitting in New York County, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New
York, and appellate courts from any thereof. 
 (n) Governing Law. THIS CONFIRMATION SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CHOICE OF LAW DOCTRINE).
