(c) Purchaser shall have the right to notify Sellers in writing of any Assigned Contract (other than purchase orders) that it does not wish to assume or a Contract that is related to the Acquired Assets to which any Seller is a party that Purchaser wishes to add as an Assigned Contract up to two (2) Business Days prior to the Bid Deadline (as defined in the Bidding Procedures Order), and (i) any such previously considered Assigned Contract that Purchaser no longer wishes to assume shall be automatically deemed removed from the Schedules related to Assigned Contracts and automatically deemed added to the Excluded Assets, in each case, without any adjustment to the Purchase Price, and (ii) any such previously considered Contract that is related to the Acquired Assets that Purchaser wishes to assume as an Assigned Contract shall be automatically deemed added to the Schedules related to Assigned Contracts, automatically deemed removed from the Excluded Assets, and assumed by Sellers to sell and assign to Purchaser, in each case, without any adjustment to the Purchase Price. Purchaser shall be solely responsible for the payment, performance and discharge when due of the Liabilities under the Assigned Contracts arising or that are otherwise payable from the time of and after the Closing.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, a Contract shall not be assigned to, or assumed by, Purchaser to the extent that such Contract is rejected by any Seller or its Affiliates or terminated by such Seller, its Affiliates or any other party thereto, or terminates or expires by its terms, on or prior to such time as it is to be assumed by Purchaser as an Assigned Contract hereunder and is not continued or otherwise extended upon assumption.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent an Acquired Asset requires any consent or approval from any party, including any Governmental Body (other than, and in addition to and determined after giving effect to any Order of the Bankruptcy Court, including the Sale Order) in order to permit the sale or transfer to Purchaser of the applicable Seller’s right, title and interest in and to such asset, and such consent or approval has not been obtained prior to such time as such right, title and interest is to be transferred by Purchaser hereunder, such asset shall not be transferred to, or received by, Purchaser. If any Acquired Asset is deemed not to be assigned pursuant to this clause (e), the Closing shall nonetheless take place subject to the other terms and conditions set forth herein and, thereafter, through the earlier of (x) such time as such consent or approval from the applicable party, including any Governmental Body, is obtained and (y) six (6) months following the Closing (or the closing of the Chapter 11 Cases or dissolution of Sellers, if earlier), Sellers and Purchaser shall (A) use reasonable best efforts to secure such consents or approvals as promptly as practicable after the Closing and (B) cooperate in good faith in any lawful and commercially reasonable arrangement reasonably proposed by Purchaser, including subcontracting, licensing, or sublicensing to Purchaser any or all of Sellers’ rights and obligations with respect to any such Acquired Asset, under which (1) Purchaser shall obtain (without infringing upon the legal rights of such third party or violating any Law) the economic rights and benefits (net of the amount of any related Tax costs imposed on Sellers or their respective Affiliates or any direct costs associated with the retention and maintenance of such Acquired Asset incurred by Sellers or their respective Affiliates) with respect to such Acquired Asset with respect to which such consent or approval has not been obtained and (2) Purchaser shall assume and timely discharge all related burdens and obligations with respect to such Acquired Asset. Upon satisfying any requisite consent or approval requirement applicable to such Acquired Asset after the Closing, the applicable Seller’s right, title and interest in and to such Acquired Asset shall promptly be transferred and assigned to Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Sale Order and the Bankruptcy Code.

(f) If at any time after the Closing, any Seller or Purchaser becomes aware that such Seller continues to hold any Acquired Asset, including an Assigned Contract, or any asset necessary for the operation of the Acquired Businesses that should have been conveyed in accordance with this Agreement, such Party will promptly notify the other Party and such Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to transfer (or cause to be transferred) such Acquired Asset or asset to Purchaser. Following written confirmation from the Purchaser, the Purchaser will assume any Assumed Liabilities associated therewith upon receipt, in each case, without further consideration being due or paid from Purchaser to such Seller. If at any time after the Closing, Purchaser becomes aware that it holds any Excluded Asset, Purchaser will promptly notify Sellers and use its commercially reasonable efforts to transfer (or cause to be transferred) such Excluded Asset to the applicable Seller, without further consideration being due or paid from any Seller to Purchaser.

Purchaser is and shall be capable of satisfying the conditions contained in sections 365(b)(1)(C) and 365(f) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Acquired Assets and the related Assumed Liabilities. Purchaser’s ability to consummate the Transactions is not contingent upon its ability to secure any financing or to complete any public or private placement of securities prior to or upon Closing.

Section 4.5 Brokers. The Purchaser has no investment banker, broker, finder, or other intermediary which has been retained by or is authorized to act on behalf of Purchaser that might be entitled to any fee or commission in connection with the Transactions.

Section 4.6 Solvency. Purchaser is, and immediately after giving effect to the Transactions the Purchaser shall be, solvent and at all times shall: (a) be able to pay its debts as they become due; (b) own property that has a fair saleable value greater than the amounts required to pay its debt (including a reasonable estimate of the amount of all contingent Liabilities) and (c) have adequate capital to carry on its business. No transfer of property is being made and no obligation is being incurred in connection with the Transactions with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors of Purchaser. In connection with the Transactions, Purchaser has not incurred, nor plans to incur, debts beyond its ability to pay as they become absolute and matured.

Section 4.7 SEC Reports; Undisclosed Liabilities.

(a) Since June 30, 2024, Purchaser has timely filed or furnished, as applicable, all Purchaser SEC Reports. Each Purchaser SEC Report complied, as of its filing date (or, if amended or superseded by a filing prior to the date of this Agreement, on the date of such amended or superseding filing) or in the case of registration statements, on the date of effectiveness thereof, in all material respects with the then applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, to the extent applicable. As of its filing date (or, if amended or superseded by a filing prior to the date of this Agreement, on the date of such amended or superseded filing) or in the case of registration statements, on the date of effectiveness thereof, each Purchaser SEC Report did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Purchaser is, and since June 30, 2024 has been, in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions and requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the listing standards and rules of The Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”). Since the filing date of Purchaser’s most recent Form 10-K or Form 10-Q, no events, facts or circumstances have occurred such that management would not be able to complete its assessment of the effectiveness of Purchaser’s internal control over financial reporting in compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act when next due, and conclude, after such assessment, that such system was effective. There are no outstanding or unresolved comments received from the SEC with respect to the Purchaser SEC Reports or any registration statement filed by Purchaser and to the knowledge of Purchaser, none of the Purchaser SEC Reports is the subject of ongoing SEC review or investigation. No Subsidiary of Purchaser is, or since June 30, 2024 has been, required to file any forms, reports or documents with the SEC that have not otherwise been filed.

(b) The consolidated financial statements (including any related notes and schedules) of Purchaser and its Subsidiaries filed with the Purchaser SEC Reports (i) complied, as of their respective dates of filing with the SEC, in all material respects with the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto during the periods and at the dates indicated (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto or as otherwise permitted by Form 10-Q with respect to any financial statements filed on Form 10-Q); (ii) were prepared in accordance with GAAP (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto or as otherwise permitted by Form 10-Q with respect to any financial statements filed on Form 10-Q) applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved; and (iii) fairly present, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations and cash flows of Purchaser and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof or for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of the unaudited financial statements, to normal and recurring year-end adjustments described therein). None of Purchaser or its Subsidiaries is a party to, or has any obligation or other commitment to become a party to, any “off balance sheet arrangement” (as defined in Item 303(a) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC) that has not been so described in the Purchaser SEC Reports.

(c) Purchaser has established and maintains “disclosure controls and procedures” and “internal control over financial reporting” (in each case as defined pursuant to Rule 13a-15 and Rule 15d-15 promulgated under the Exchange Act). Purchaser’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that (i) all material information required to be disclosed by Purchaser in the reports and other documents that it files or furnishes pursuant to the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC; and (ii) such material information is accumulated and made known to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Purchaser, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to make the certifications required under the Exchange Act and Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Since June 30, 2024, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of Purchaser have made all certifications required by Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14 under the Exchange Act and Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and the statements contained in any such certifications were true, correct and complete as of their filing dates. Neither Purchaser nor its principal executive officer or principal financial officer has received notice from any Governmental Body challenging or questioning the accuracy, completeness, form or manner of filing of such certifications.

(d) Purchaser has established and maintains a system of internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of Purchaser’s financial reporting and the preparation of Purchaser’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Since June 30, 2024, neither Purchaser nor Purchaser’s independent registered public accounting firm has identified or been made aware of (A) any material weakness in the system of internal control over financial reporting, including the design and operation thereof, used by Purchaser and its Subsidiaries that has not been subsequently remediated; (B) any fraud or illegal act that involves Purchaser’s management or other employees who have a role in the preparation of financial statements or the internal control over financial reporting utilized by Purchaser and its Subsidiaries; or (C) any claim or allegation regarding any of the foregoing and Purchaser has disclosed based on its most recent evaluation of Purchaser’s internal control over financial reporting prior to the date hereof, to Purchaser’s auditors and the audit committee of Purchaser’s board of directors, all matters described by the immediately preceding clauses (A) through (C). To the knowledge of Purchaser, since June 30, 2024, neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates has identified or been made aware of any material illegal act or fraud related to the business of Purchaser or its Subsidiaries.

(e) Neither Purchaser nor any of its Subsidiaries has any Liabilities or obligations of any nature (whether accrued, absolute, contingent, fixed or otherwise) required to be reflected or reserved against on the balance sheet prepared in accordance with GAAP or notes thereto, other than Liabilities or obligations (i) reflected or otherwise adequately reserved against in the consolidated balance sheet (or the notes thereto) of Purchaser and its Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2024 or in the consolidated financial statements of Purchaser and its Subsidiaries included in Purchaser SEC Reports or described in the notes thereto; (ii) arising pursuant to this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements or incurred in connection with the Transaction or the other transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements; (iii) incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice on or after June 30, 2024; or (iv) that has not had, and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.8 No Additional Representations or Warranties. Except for the representations and warranties contained in this Article IV, Sellers are not relying on and will not rely on the accuracy or completeness of any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to Purchaser or with respect to any other information provided to Sellers by Purchaser and acknowledge that neither Purchaser nor any other Person on behalf of Purchaser makes on behalf of Purchaser makes any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to Purchaser or with respect to any other information provided to Sellers by Purchaser.

Section 4.9 No Outside Reliance. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 4.9 or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of the Purchaser Group, that the Express Representations are the sole and exclusive representations, warranties and statements of any kind made to Purchaser or any member of the Purchaser Group and on which Purchaser and the Purchaser Group may rely in connection with the Transactions. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of the Purchaser Group, that the Acquired Assets are being acquired by Purchaser “as is” and “where is” and with all faults and all other representations, warranties and statements of any kind or nature expressed or implied, whether in written, electronic or oral form, including (a) the completeness or accuracy of, or any omission to state or to disclose, any information (other than solely to the extent expressly set forth in the Express Representations), including in any information presentation, the Dataroom, any projections or in any meetings, calls or correspondence with management of any Seller or any other Person on behalf of any Seller or any of their respective Affiliates or Advisors, (b) any other statement relating to the historical, current or future businesses, financial condition, results of operations, assets, Liabilities, properties, Contracts, environmental compliance, employee matters, regulatory compliance, business risks and prospects of the Acquired Assets, the Acquired Businesses or any Seller, or the quality, quantity or condition of any Seller’s (c) any implied representation of merchantability or fitness for any particular use or purpose, (d) any implied representation regarding the use or operation of the Acquired Assets or the Acquired Businesses after the Closing in any manner, and (e) any implied representation regarding the probable success or profitability of the Acquired Assets or the Acquired Assets after the Closing, are, in each case specifically disclaimed by each Seller and that neither Purchaser nor any member of the Purchaser Group has relied on any such representations, warranties or statements. Purchaser acknowledges, on its own behalf and on behalf of the Purchaser Group, that it has conducted to its full satisfaction an independent investigation and verification of the business associated with the Acquired Assets, including its results of operations, assets, Liabilities, properties, Contracts, environmental compliance, employee matters, regulatory compliance, business risks and prospects of Sellers, and, in making its determination to proceed with the Transactions, Purchaser has relied solely on the results of the Purchaser Group’s own independent investigation and verification, and has not relied on, is not relying on, and will not rely on, any Seller, the any information presentation, any projections or any information, statements, disclosures, documents, projections, forecasts or other material made available to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or Advisors in the Dataroom or otherwise, in each case, whether written or oral, made or provided by, or as part of, any of the foregoing or any Seller or any of their respective Affiliates or Advisors, or any failure of any of the foregoing to disclose or contain any information, except for the Express Representations (it being understood that Purchaser and the Purchaser Group have relied only on the Express Representations).

Sellers shall consult with Purchaser and its Representatives concerning the Bidding Procedures Order, the Sale Order, any other orders of the Bankruptcy Court relating to the Transaction. Purchaser shall promptly take such actions as are reasonably requested by Sellers to assist in obtaining entry of the Bidding Procedures Order and the Sale Order and a finding of adequate assurance of future performance by Purchaser, including furnishing affidavits or other documents or information for filing with the Bankruptcy Court for the purposes, among others, of providing necessary assurances of performance by Purchaser under this Agreement and demonstrating that Purchaser is a “good faith” purchaser; provided, however, in no event shall Purchaser or Sellers be required to agree to any amendment of this Agreement.

In the event the entry of the Sale Order shall be appealed in relation to this Agreement, Sellers and Purchaser shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to defend such appeal.

Section 5.3 Alternative Transactions.

The information provided pursuant to this Section 5.2 will be used solely for the purpose of consummating the transactions contemplated hereby, and will be governed by the Confidentiality Agreement. Purchaser will, and will cause their Advisors to, abide by the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement. Sellers make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any information, if any, provided pursuant to this Section and Purchaser may not rely on the accuracy of any such information.

(b) Purchaser will not, and will not permit any member of the Purchaser Group to, contact any officer, manager, director, employee, customer, supplier, lessee, lessor, lender, licensee, licensor, distributor, noteholder or other material business relation of Sellers prior to the Closing with respect to Sellers or the Transactions, in each case without the prior written consent of Sellers for each such contact.

Section 5.9 Employee Matters.

(a) Prior to Closing, Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make available to Purchaser for interviews certain employees as requested in writing by Purchaser. Purchaser may extend to any employee employed by the applicable Seller a written offer of employment, for employment effective as of the Closing Date, in Purchaser’s sole discretion (“Transfer Offer”); provided that Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, comply will all employment Laws, including anti-discrimination Laws, in connection with making such offers of employment. Employees who accept such Transfer Offers and begin employment with Purchaser or an Affiliate of Purchaser shall be collectively referred to herein as “Transferred Employees.” Each of the Transferred Employees, shall be collectively referred to herein as “Continuing Employees.” Purchaser shall notify such Seller (i) with respect to: each employee to whom it made a Transfer Offer (no later than three Business Days after making such Transfer Offer), and (ii) in a reasonable timeframe (but in any event within three Business Days of receiving a response from the applicable Transferred Employee and no later than immediately prior to the Closing) with respect to whether each such offer has been accepted or rejected. Nothing herein shall be construed as a representation or guarantee by such Seller or any of its Affiliates that any or all employees employed by such Seller will accept the Transfer Offer, or that any Continuing Employee will continue in employment with Purchaser or any of its Affiliates following the Closing for any period of time. Purchaser shall provide the Seller with a list of the Transferred Employees three (3) days prior to the Auction. Purchaser shall carry out all necessary actions to effect the timely (as of the Closing Date) employment by it of each Transferred Employee who has accepted a Transfer Offer. Effective as of the Closing, each Transferred Employee previously employed by such Seller shall cease to be an employee of such Seller and become an employee of the Purchaser on comparable terms.

(b) The provisions of this Section 5.9 are for the sole benefit of the Parties and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give any Person (including for the avoidance of doubt any Continuing Employees), other than the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns, any legal or equitable or other rights or remedies (with respect to the matters provided for in this Section 5.9 or under or by reason of any provision of this Agreement). Nothing contained herein, express or implied: (i) shall be construed to establish, amend, or modify any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement; (ii) shall, subject to compliance with the other provisions of this Section 5.9, alter or limit Purchaser’s or such Seller’s ability to amend, modify or terminate any particular benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement; or (iii) is intended to confer upon any current or former employee any right to employment or continued employment for any period of time by reason of this Agreement, or any right to a particular term or condition of employment.

(c) For any Continuing Employees who are principally based outside the United States, the provisions of this Section 5.9 shall apply to such employees mutatis mutandis to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law.

Section 5.10 Further Assurances. From time to time, as and when requested by any Party and at such requesting Party’s expense, any other Party will execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and will take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions as such requesting Party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to evidence and effectuate the Transactions.

Section 5.11 Tax Matters.

(a) Any sales, use, purchase, transfer, franchise, deed, fixed asset, stamp, documentary stamp, use or other Taxes and recording charges (including all related interest, penalties, and additions to any of the foregoing) payable by reason of the sale of the Acquired Assets or the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities under this Agreement or the Transactions not to exceed capped amount to be agreed between Purchaser and SunPower Corporation prior to the Closing (the “Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne and timely paid by Purchaser, and Purchaser shall timely file all Tax Returns related to any Transfer Taxes.

(b) For U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes, the Purchase Price (and all other relevant items treated as consideration for U.S. federal income tax purposes) shall be allocated to the Acquired Assets (the “Asset Amount”). The Asset Amount shall be allocated consistent with the methodology set forth on Section 1060 of the Tax Code. Purchaser shall prepare a statement setting forth such allocation of the Asset Amount (the “Purchase Price Allocation Statement”). Purchaser shall deliver the Purchase Price Allocation Statement to Seller within 45 days after the Closing Date. Seller shall have thirty days after receipt of the Purchase Price Allocation Statement within which to review the Purchase Price Allocation Statement. If Seller does not object in writing to the Purchase Price Allocation Statement during such 30-day period, the Purchase Price Allocation Statement shall set forth the final allocation of the Asset Amount for all Tax purposes (the “Purchase Price Allocation”). If Seller objects in writing, Purchaser and Seller shall attempt in good faith to resolve such objections within 15 days thereafter, but if Seller and Purchaser are unable to resolve such objections within such fifteen days, then any remaining items in dispute shall be resolved by a mutually agreeable accounting firm. Once the Purchase Price Allocation is finalized in accordance with the above procedures, the Purchase Price Allocation shall be binding upon the parties hereto for all Tax purposes unless otherwise required by applicable Law. The parties hereto shall report for Tax purposes, act for Tax purposes, and file Tax Returns, in all respects consistent with the Purchase Price Allocation.

(c) Purchaser shall not make any election under Tax Code Section 338 or Tax Code Section 336 (or any similar provision under state, local or non-U.S. Law) with respect to the purchase of the Acquired Assets.

(d) Without the prior written consent of Seller, Purchaser shall not, and, following the Closing, shall cause its Affiliates not to, (A) approach a Governmental Body with respect to any Taxes with respect to the Acquired Assets for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (including the entrance into any voluntary disclosure or other similar agreement with any Governmental Body), (B) amend, file or re-file any Tax Return with respect to the Acquired Assets for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (C) agree to waive or extend the statute of limitations relating to any Taxes with respect to the Acquired Assets for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, or (D) make, revoke or change any tax election with respect to the Acquired Assets with respect to, or that has a retroactive effect to, any Pre-Closing Tax Period, in each case, if any such action would reasonably be expected to impact a Consolidated Tax Return.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall have the exclusive right to control in all respects, and neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall be entitled to participate in the preparation or filing of, or any dispute, audit, or other proceeding of any kind, with respect to any Consolidated Tax Return.

(f) In the case of any Straddle Period, for all applicable purposes of this Agreement, the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income, gross or net sales, receipts, transactions, proceeds, profits, payroll or similar items for the Pre-Closing Tax Period of such Straddle Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the end of the day on the Closing Date and the amount of other Taxes for a Straddle Period that relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period; provided that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions), other than with respect to property placed in service after the Closing Date, shall be allocated on a per diem basis.

(g) Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate fully with each other, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with tax matters related to the Acquired Assets for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, including the preparation, filing and execution of Tax Returns, and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s reasonable request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding during normal business hours and making employees available (as reasonably requested) on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any materials provided hereunder. Notwithstanding anything in this agreement to the contrary, in no event will Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser have any rights with respect to (including the preparation thereof) or access to any Tax Return (including a Consolidated Tax Return) or other Tax information or workpapers of Seller and its Affiliates that do not relate exclusively to an Acquired Business or Acquired Asset; provided, that Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts (at Purchaser’s cost) to provide any information reflected in such Tax Returns or other materials that is reasonably relevant to the Acquired Businesses and reasonably requested by Purchaser.

Section 5.12 Seller Guarantees. Purchaser acknowledges that in the course of conduct of the business of Sellers, Sellers and their respective Affiliates may have entered into various arrangements (a) in which guarantees, letters of credit, sureties, bonds or similar arrangements were issued by any Seller or its Affiliates and (b) in which such Seller or its Affiliates are the primary obligors on other Contracts, in any such case to support or facilitate the business of Sellers. The arrangements entered into by any Seller and its Affiliates referred to in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), solely to the extent relating to any Acquired Assets or Assumed Liabilities and including those which are set forth in Section 5.12, are referred to as the “Seller Credit Support Obligations”. It is understood that the Seller Credit Support Obligations are not intended to continue after the Closing. Purchaser agrees that it shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain replacements for the Seller Credit Support Obligations (which shall include the full and unconditional release of such Seller and its Affiliates) that will be in effect at the Closing or, in the case of Seller Credit Support Obligations described in the foregoing clause (b), will use its commercially reasonable efforts to arrange for itself or one of its Subsidiaries to be substituted as the primary obligor thereon as of the Closing through an assumption, accession, acknowledgement or similar agreement (which shall include the full and unconditional release of Sellers and their respective Affiliates) with the beneficiary of the applicable Seller Credit Support Obligation. Whether or not Purchaser is able to satisfy the terms of the immediately preceding sentence, Purchaser shall indemnify Sellers and their respective Affiliates and Representatives from and against any and all Liabilities incurred by any of them relating to the Seller Credit Support Obligations. Purchaser agrees that, with respect to any Seller Credit Support Obligation, its reasonable best efforts pursuant to this Section 5.12 shall include, if requested, the execution and delivery by Purchaser, or by an affiliate of Purchaser acceptable to the beneficiary of such Seller Credit Support Obligation, of a replacement guarantee that is substantially in the form of such Seller Credit Support Obligation. All costs and expenses incurred in connection with providing the release or substitution of the Seller Credit Support Obligations shall be borne by Purchaser.

(c) by written notice of either Purchaser or Sellers, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before September 30, 2024 (the “Outside Date”); provided that a Party shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(c) if the failure of the Closing to have occurred by the Outside Date was caused by such Party’s failure to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement; provided further that Sellers may extend the Outside Date up to an additional 60 days to the extent necessary to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 so long as the other conditions in Article VI (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing) have been satisfied or waived;

(d) by written notice from Sellers to Purchaser, upon a breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of Purchaser, or if any representation or warranty of Purchaser will have become untrue, in each case, such that the conditions set forth in Section 6.2(a) or Section 6.2(b) would not be satisfied, including a breach of Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the Closing; provided that (i) if such breach is curable by Purchaser, then Sellers may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(d) unless such breach has not been cured by the date which that the earlier of (A) two Business Days prior to the Outside Date and (B) 30 days after Sellers notify Purchaser of such breach and (ii) the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(d) will not be available to Sellers at any time that Sellers are in material breach of, any covenant, representation or warranty hereunder;

(e) by written notice from Purchaser to Sellers, upon a breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of Sellers, or if any representation or warranty of Sellers will have become untrue, in each case, such that the conditions set forth in Section 6.3(a) or Section 6.3(b) would not be satisfied; provided that (i) if such breach is curable by Sellers then Purchaser may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(e) unless such breach has not been cured by the date which is the earlier of (A) two Business Days prior to the Outside Date and (B) 30 days after Purchaser notifies Sellers of such breach and (ii) the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(e) will not be available to Purchaser at any time that Purchaser is in material breach of, any covenant, representation or warranty hereunder;

(f) by written notice from Sellers to Purchaser, if all of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 have been satisfied (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions at the Closing) or waived and Purchaser fails to complete the Closing at the time required by Section 2.3;

(g) by written notice from Sellers to Purchaser, if SunPower Corporation or the board of directors (or similar governing body) of SunPower Corporation determines that proceeding with the Transactions or failing to terminate this Agreement would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties;

(j) by the Purchaser, if (i) following entry by the Bankruptcy Court of the Bidding Procedures Order, such order is voided, reversed or vacated or is subject to a stay and is not re-issued or re-instated or (ii) following entry by the Bankruptcy Court of the Sale Order, the Sale Order is voided, reversed or vacated or is subject to a stay and is not re-issued or re-instated.

Section 7.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void and no Party or any of its partners, officers, directors, managers or equityholders will have any Liability under this Agreement; provided that this Section 7.2 and Article VIII shall survive any such termination; provided further that no termination will relieve Purchaser from any Liability for damages, losses, costs or expenses resulting from any Willful Breach of this Agreement prior to the date of such termination (which, for the avoidance of doubt, will be deemed to include any failure by Purchaser to consummate the Closing if and when it is obligated to do so hereunder).

(a) In consideration for Purchaser having expended considerable time and expense in connection with this Agreement and the negotiation thereof, if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1(g), Section 7.1(h), Section 7.1(i), or Section 7.1(j), then Sellers will pay to Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds within three (3) Business Days following such termination of this Agreement an amount equal to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by Purchaser in connection with the negotiation, diligence, execution, performance and enforcement of this Agreement, which amount will shall not exceed five hundred and fifty thousand United States Dollars ($550,000) (“Expense Reimbursement”).

(b) In consideration for Purchaser having expended considerable time and expense in connection with this Agreement and the negotiation thereof, if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1(g), Section 7.1(h), Section 7.1(i) or Section 7.1(j), Sellers shall pay to Purchaser a break-up fee in an amount equal to 3% of the Purchase Price (the “Breakup Fee”); provided that the Breakup Fee shall be payable concurrently with the consummation of, and only out of the cash proceeds of, an Alternative Transaction, to an account designated by Purchaser in writing to Sellers. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the agreements contained in this Section 7.2(b) are an integral part of this Agreement and that the Expense Reimbursement and the Breakup Fee are not a penalty, but rather represent liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will reasonably compensate Purchaser in the circumstances in which such Expense Reimbursement or Breakup Fee, as applicable, is payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone by Purchaser while negotiating and pursuing this Agreement and in reasonable reliance on this Agreement and on the reasonable expectation of the consummation of the Transactions, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision.

(c) Subject in all cases to Section 8.11, prior to the Closing, in the event of any breach by any Seller of this Agreement, the sole and exclusive remedy of Purchaser shall be to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1 and, if applicable, to receive the Expense Reimbursement or the Breakup Fee, as applicable, in accordance with Section 7.2(b). Pursuant to the Bidding Procedures Order and subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court and entry of any Agreement Order, the claim of Purchaser in respect of the Expense Reimbursement or the Breakup Fee is and constitutes an allowed administrative expense claim against Sellers under Sections 503 and 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code in the Chapter 11 Cases.

Section 8.4 Binding Effect; Assignment.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon Purchaser and, subject to the terms of the Bidding Procedures Order (with respect to the matters covered thereby) and the entry and terms of the Sale Order, Sellers, and shall inure to the benefit of and be so binding on the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, including any trustee or estate representative appointed in the Chapter 11 Cases or any successor Chapter 7 cases; provided that neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated without the prior written consent of Purchaser and Sellers, and any attempted assignment or delegation without such prior written consent shall be null and void.

(b) In furtherance of the foregoing, Purchaser may, without the consent of Sellers, designate, in accordance with the terms of this paragraph and effective as of the Closing, one or more Persons who is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Purchaser to acquire all, or any portion of, the Acquired Assets and assume all or any portion of the Assumed Liabilities or to be jointly obligated to pay all or any portion of the Purchase Price; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, any such assignment of the payment obligation shall not relieve Purchaser of its obligation to deliver the Purchase Price under Section 2.1. The above designation may be made by Purchaser by written notice to Sellers at any time prior to the Closing Date. The Parties agree to modify any Closing deliverables in accordance with the foregoing designation.

Section 8.5 Amendment and Waiver. Any provision of this Agreement or the Schedules or exhibits hereto may be (a) amended only in a writing signed by Purchaser and Sellers or (b) waived only in a writing executed by the Party against which enforcement of such waiver is sought. No waiver of any provision hereunder or any breach or default thereof will extend to or affect in any way any other provision or prior or subsequent breach or default.

Section 8.6 Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person other than (i) for purposes of Section 8.7, the Non-Recourse Persons (as defined below) and (ii) the Parties hereto and such permitted assigns, any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement.

Section 8.7 Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any Action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement may only be brought against, the Persons that are expressly named as parties to this Agreement. Except to the extent named as a party to this Agreement, and then only to the extent of the specific obligations of such parties set forth in this Agreement, no past, present or future shareholder, member, partner, manager, director, officer, employee, Affiliate, agent or Advisor of any Party (each, a “Non-Recourse Person”) will have any Liability (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise) for any of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or Liabilities of any of the parties to this Agreement or for any Agreement Dispute (as defined below) and (ii) in no event shall any Party have any shared or vicarious liability, or otherwise be the subject of legal or equitable claims, for the actions, omissions or fraud (including through equitable claims (such as unjust enrichment) not requiring proof of wrongdoing committed by the subject of such claims) of any other Person, and each of such Persons are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 8.7 and shall be entitled to enforce this Section 8.7 as if a party directly hereto.

Section 8.8 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable Law in any jurisdiction, such provision will be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity in such jurisdiction, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement or in any other jurisdiction.

Section 8.9 Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any Person.

Section 8.10 Complete Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Confidentiality Agreement and any other agreements expressly referred to herein or therein, contains the entire agreement of the Parties respecting the sale and purchase of the Acquired Assets and the Assumed Liabilities and the Transactions and supersedes all prior agreements among the Parties respecting the sale and purchase of the Acquired Assets and the Assumed Liabilities and the Transactions. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises with respect to this Agreement, the terms and provisions of the execution version of this Agreement will control and prior drafts of this Agreement and the documents referenced herein will not be considered or analyzed for any purpose (including in support of parol evidence proffered by any Person in connection with this Agreement), will be deemed not to provide any evidence as to the meaning of the provisions hereof or the intent of the Parties with respect hereto and will be deemed joint work product of the Parties.

Section 8.11 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary relief, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached, including if any of the Parties fails to take any action required of it hereunder to consummate the Transactions. It is accordingly agreed that (a) the Parties will be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in the courts described in Section 8.12 without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement, and (b) the right of specific performance and other equitable relief is an integral part of the Transactions and without that right, neither Sellers nor Purchaser would have entered into this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any Party pursuing an injunction or injunctions or other Order to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 8.11 will not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such Order. The remedies available to Sellers pursuant to this Section 8.11 will be in addition to any other remedy to which they were entitled at law or in equity, and the election to pursue an injunction or specific performance will not restrict, impair or otherwise limit Sellers from seeking to collect or collecting damages. If, prior to the Outside Date, any Party brings any action, in each case in accordance with Section 8.12, to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof by any other Party, the Outside Date will automatically be extended (i) for the period during which such action is pending, plus ten (10) Business Days or (ii) by such other time period established by the court presiding over such action, as the case may be. In no event will this Section 8.11 be used, alone or together with any other provision of this Agreement, to require Sellers to remedy any breach of any representation or warranty made by Sellers herein.

Section 8.12 Jurisdiction and Exclusive Venue. Each of the Parties irrevocably agrees that any Action of any kind whatsoever, including a counterclaim, cross-claim, or defense, regardless of the legal theory under which any Liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed, whether sounding in contract or in tort or under statute, or whether at law or in equity, or otherwise under any legal or equitable theory, that may be based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution, or performance of this Agreement or the Transactions and any questions concerning the construction, interpretation, validity and enforceability of this Agreement (each, an “Agreement Dispute”) brought by any other Party or its successors or assigns will be brought and determined only in (a) the Bankruptcy Court and any federal court to which an appeal from the Bankruptcy Court may be validly taken or (b) if the Bankruptcy Court is unwilling or unable to hear such Action, in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or if such court lacks jurisdiction, any other state or federal court sitting in the State of Delaware) (the “Chosen Courts”), and each of the Parties hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts for itself and with respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, with regard to any Agreement Dispute. Each of the Parties agrees not to commence any Agreement Dispute except in the Chosen Courts, other than Actions in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce any Order, decree or award rendered by any Chosen Courts, and no Party will file a motion to dismiss any Agreement Dispute filed in a Chosen Court on any jurisdictional or venue-related grounds, including the doctrine of forum non-conveniens. The Parties irrevocably agree that venue would be proper in any of the Chosen Court, and hereby irrevocably waive any objection that any such court is an improper or inconvenient forum for the resolution of any Agreement Dispute. Each of the Parties further irrevocably and unconditionally consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 8.3. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any Party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.

Section 8.13 Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) Except to the extent the mandatory provisions of the Bankruptcy Code apply, this Agreement and any Agreement Dispute will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of Delaware applicable to agreements executed and performed entirely within such State without regards to conflicts of law principles of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction that would cause the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware to apply.

(b) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY AGREEMENT DISPUTE IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND THEREFORE HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY AGREEMENT DISPUTE. EACH OF THE PARTIES AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH AGREEMENT DISPUTE WILL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT THE PARTIES MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES TO THE IRREVOCABLE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY (I) CERTIFIES THAT NO ADVISOR OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY AGREEMENT DISPUTE, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.13(B).

Section 8.14 No Right of Set-Off. Purchaser, on its own behalf and on behalf the Purchaser Group and its and their respective successors and permitted assigns, hereby waives any rights of set-off, netting, offset, recoupment or similar rights that Purchaser, any member of the Purchaser Group or any of its or their respective successors and permitted assigns has or may have with respect to the payment of the Purchase Price or any other payments to be made by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement or any other document or instrument delivered by Purchaser in connection herewith.

Section 8.15 Counterparts and PDF. This Agreement and any other agreements referred to herein or therein, and any amendments hereto or thereto, may be executed in multiple counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signature of more than one party hereto or thereto, but all such counterparts taken together will constitute one and the same instrument. Any counterpart, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a .PDF or other electronic transmission, will be treated in all manner and respects as an original Contract and will be considered to have the same binding legal effects as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No party hereto or to any such Contract will raise the use of a .PDF or other electronic transmission to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or Contract was transmitted or communicated through the use of PDF or other electronic transmission as a defense to the formation of a Contract and each such party forever waives any such defense.

Section 8.16 Publicity. Neither Sellers nor Purchaser shall issue any press release or public announcement concerning this Agreement or the Transactions without obtaining the prior written approval of the other Party, which approval will not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed, unless, in the reasonable judgment of Purchaser or Sellers, disclosure is otherwise required by applicable Law or by the Bankruptcy Court with respect to filings to be made with the Bankruptcy Court in connection with this Agreement or by the applicable rules of any stock exchange on which Purchaser or Sellers (or their respective Affiliates) lists securities; provided that the Party intending to make such release shall use its reasonable efforts consistent with such applicable Law or Bankruptcy Court requirement to consult with the other Party with respect to the text thereof. The Sellers and Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to resolve any objections to any press release or public announcement within twenty-four (24) hours after the request.

Section 8.17 Bulk Sales Laws. The Parties intend that pursuant to section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code, the transfer of the Acquired Assets shall be free and clear of any Encumbrances in the Acquired Assets including any Encumbrances or claims arising out of the bulk transfer laws except Permitted Encumbrances, and the Parties shall take such steps as may be necessary or appropriate to so provide in the Sale Order. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party hereby waives compliance by the Parties with the “bulk sales,” “bulk transfers” or similar Laws and all other similar Laws in all applicable jurisdictions in respect of the Transactions.

Section 8.18 Fiduciary Obligations. Nothing in this Agreement, or any document related to the Transactions, will require any Seller or any of its managers, officers or members, in each case, in their capacity as such, to take any action, or to refrain from taking any action, to the extent inconsistent with their fiduciary obligations or applicable Law. For the avoidance of doubt, Sellers retain the right to pursue any transaction or restructuring strategy that, in Sellers’ business judgment, will maximize the value of its estates.

Section 8.19 Sellers’ Representative. Each Party agrees that SunPower Corporation has the power and authority to unilaterally act on behalf of all or any of the Sellers for the purposes specified under this Agreement. Such power will include the power to make all decisions, actions, consents and determinations on behalf of the Sellers, including to make any waiver of any closing condition or agree to any amendment to this Agreement. No Seller shall have any right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same. Purchaser shall be entitled to rely on any action or omission taken by SunPower Corporation on behalf of the Sellers.

Section 8.20 Schedules.

(a) The Schedules have been arranged for purposes of convenience in separately numbered sections corresponding to the sections of this Agreement; provided that each section of the Schedules will be deemed to incorporate by reference all information disclosed in any other section of the Schedules, and any disclosure in the Schedules will be deemed a disclosure against any representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement. Capitalized terms used in the Schedules and not otherwise defined therein have the meanings given to them in this Agreement. The specification of any dollar amount or the inclusion of any item in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, the Schedules or the attached exhibits is not intended to imply that the amounts, or higher or lower amounts, or the items so included, or other items, are or are not required to be disclosed (including whether such amounts or items are required to be disclosed as material or threatened) or are within or outside of the Ordinary Course, and no Party will use the fact of the setting of the amounts or the fact of the inclusion of any item in this Agreement, the Schedules or exhibits in any dispute or controversy between the Parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not set forth or included in this Agreement, the Schedules or exhibits is or is not required to be disclosed (including whether the amount or items are required to be disclosed as material or threatened) or are within or outside of the Ordinary Course. In addition, matters reflected in the Schedules are not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be reflected in the Schedules. Such additional matters are set forth for informational purposes only and do not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature. No information set forth in the Schedules will be deemed to broaden in any way the scope of the Parties’ representations and warranties. Any description of any agreement, document, instrument, plan, arrangement or other item set forth on any Schedule is qualified in its entirety by the terms of such agreement, document, instrument, plan, arrangement, or item which terms will be deemed disclosed for all purposes of this Agreement. The information contained in this Agreement, in the Schedules and exhibits hereto is disclosed solely for purposes of this Agreement, and no information contained herein or therein will be deemed to be an admission by any Party to any third party of any matter whatsoever, including any violation of Law or breach of Contract.

(b) The Sellers shall deliver to Purchaser a true and correct copy of the Schedules in accordance with the milestone set forth in Section 5.6. From time to time prior to the Closing, Sellers may supplement or amend any of the Schedules (each a “Schedule Supplement”). Any disclosure in any such Schedule Supplement shall not be deemed to give rise to any Purchaser termination rights pursuant to Article VII.
