EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Employment Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of [_______], 20__ (the “Effective Date”) by and between SunPower Corporation (the “Company”) and [Name of Executive] (“Executive”).

1.Duties and Scope of Employment.

(a)Positions and Duties. As of the Effective Date, Executive will serve as [Title]. 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; 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, or compliance with the policies of, 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. 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 (the “Board”) of the Company) 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 will automatically renew for an additional three-year term unless the Company provides Executive with written notice of non-renewal at least 120 days prior to the date of automatic renewal. In the event this Agreement is not renewed (i.e. terminated) upon the expiration of its Term, under no circumstances shall such non-renewal/termination trigger any entitlement to severance or any other benefits set forth in Sections 7 and 8 of this Agreement.

4.Compensation.

(a)Base Salary. The Company will pay Executive a base salary as compensation for Executive’s services (the “Base Salary”). The Base Salary will be paid periodically in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices and be subject to the usual, required withholdings and to deductions authorized by Executive. Executive’s salary will be subject to review, and adjustments will be made based upon the Company’s standard practices.

(b)Annual Bonus. Executive’s target bonus will be determined from time to time by the Board and/or its compensation committee (“Target Bonus”). The actual bonus paid may be higher or lower than the Target Bonus for over- or under-achievement of goals as determined by the Board and/or its compensation committee in its or their sole discretion.

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

5.Executive Benefits. During the Employment Term, Executive will be eligible to participate in accordance with the terms of all Benefit Plans that are applicable to other senior executives of the Company, as such Benefit Plans 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 the Company’s expense reimbursement and other policies as in effect from time to time. Any such reimbursement under this Section 6 shall be for expenses incurred by Executive during his employment by the Company and such reimbursement shall be made not later than the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which Executive incurs the expense. In no event will the amount of expenses so reimbursed by the Company in one year affect the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year.

7.Severance in Connection with Change of Control.

(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, and the termination constitutes a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and is in Connection with a Change of Control, then, subject to Section 9, Executive will receive: (i) a lump-sum payment equal to Executive’s Base Salary at the monthly rate in effect on the Determination Date multiplied by twenty-four (24), (ii) in the event the Termination Date follows 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 at the annual rate in effect on the Determination Date multiplied by two, (iv) continuation of Executive’s and Executive’s eligible dependents’ coverage 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 and assumes the cost, on an after-tax basis, for such continuation coverage), (v) a lump-sum payment equal to Executive’s accrued and unpaid Base Salary and paid time off earned by the Executive through the Termination Date, (vi) reimbursement of up to $15,000 for the services of an outplacement firm mutually acceptable to the Company and Executive, provided that Executive incurs such outplacement services no later than the last day of the second year following the year in which Executive’s Termination Date occurs, and (vii) except as provided in Section 7(c), on or about January 31 of the year following the year in which the Termination Date occurs and continuing on or about each January 31 until the year following the last year of Executive’s Benefit Plans’ coverage pursuant to this Section, the Company will make a payment to Executive (the “Benefit Plans Make-Up Payment”) such that after payment of all taxes incurred by Executive, Executive receives an amount equal to the amount Executive paid during the immediately preceding calendar year for the Benefit Plans’ coverage described in this Section. The Company shall provide the reimbursement provided in clause (vii) no later than the last day of the third year following the year in which Executive’s Termination Date occurs. Except as provided in Section 7(c), or as earlier required by applicable law, the Company shall pay the lump sum payments prescribed by Section 7(a) on the sixtieth (60th) day following the Termination Date.

(b)Sole Right to Severance. This Agreement is intended to represent Executive’s sole entitlement to severance payments and benefits in the event of a termination of his employment in connection with a Change of Control.

(c)Timing of Payments. To the extent necessary to avoid taxes and penalties under Section 409A of the Code, if, as of the Termination Date, Executive is a “specified employee,” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §1.409A and using the identification methodology selected by the Company from time to time, the lump-sum payments specified in Sections 7(a) and, if it would otherwise be paid before the date specified in this Section 7(c), the first Benefit Plans Make-Up Payment, shall be paid on the first business day of the seventh month after the Termination Date, or, if earlier, upon Executive’s death. Any payments that are deferred pursuant to this Section 7(c) shall be credited with interest at the short-term Applicable Federal Rate with annual compounding, as announced by the Internal Revenue Service for the month in which the Termination Date occurs.

8.Acceleration of Vesting in Connection with Change of Control.

(a)If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason, and the termination constitutes a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and is in Connection with a Change of Control, then, subject to Section 9, (x) all of such Executive’s unvested options, shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units will become fully vested and (as applicable) exercisable as of the Termination Date and remain exercisable for the time period otherwise applicable to such equity awards following such Termination Date pursuant to the applicable equity incentive plan and equity award agreement and (y) all provisions regarding forfeiture, restrictions on transfer, and the Company’s or its Affiliate’s (as applicable) rights of repurchase, in each case otherwise applicable to shares of restricted stock or restricted stock units held by such Executive, shall lapse as of the Termination Date.

(b)Section 280G Limitation. If any payment or benefit Executive would receive pursuant to Section 7 and/or Section 8(a) (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 Executive 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. Any reduction under this Subsection (b) shall be applied first to Payments that constitute “deferred compensation” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder). If there is more than one such Payment, then such reduction shall be applied on a pro rata basis to all such Payments.

(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. Any good faith determinations of the accounting firm made hereunder shall be final, binding, and conclusive upon the Company and Executive.

9.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 or acceleration of equity awards pursuant to Section 8 will be subject to Executive signing and not revoking a separation agreement and release of claims in the form attached as Annex A hereto, which separation agreement and release of claims must be delivered to Executive within seven (7) days after the Termination Date and must be signed and submitted by Executive within forty-five (45) days of Executive’s receipt of the separation agreement and release of claims. No severance will be paid or provided until the separation agreement and release of claims 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 its Affiliates (the “No-Inducement”), and (ii) shall not use the Company’s confidential or proprietary information to solicit business from any of the Company’s or its Affiliates’ substantial customers and users (the “No-Solicit”). If Executive breaches the No-Inducement or the No-Solicit, all continuing payments and benefits to which Executive otherwise may be entitled pursuant to Section 7 and/or Section 8(a) will cease immediately and the Company and its Affiliates may pursue all other available remedies against Executive. As used in this Agreement, “Affiliate” means any entity that directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Company.

Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The Parties hereby agree to waive their right to have any dispute between them resolved in a court of law by a judge or jury. This paragraph will not prevent either party from seeking preliminary injunctive relief (or any other provisional remedy) in aid of arbitration from any court having jurisdiction over the Parties under applicable state laws.

17.Integration and Existing Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Confidential Information Agreement, Executive’s equity award agreements and any indemnification agreement between Executive and the Company, represents the entire agreement and understanding between the parties as to the subject matter herein and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements, whether written or oral (but excluding the Confidential Information Agreement, Executive’s equity award agreements and any indemnification agreement between Executive and the Company).

24.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and each counterpart will have the same force and effect as an original and will constitute an effective, binding agreement on the part of each of the undersigned.

25.Section 409A of the Code. Each payment and the provision of each benefit under this Agreement will be considered a separate payment and not one of a series of payments for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties has executed this Agreement, in the case of the Company by a duly authorized officer, as of the Effective Date.

6.Employee hereby agrees that all rights Employee may have under section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California are hereby waived by Employee. Section 1542 provides as follows:

A. “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

7.Notwithstanding the provisions of section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California, Employee without limitation hereby irrevocably and unconditionally releases and forever discharges the Company, and its affiliated companies, their officers, agents, directors, supervisors, employees, representatives, successors and assigns, and all persons acting by, through, under, or in concert with any of them from any and all charges, complaints, claims, causes of action, debts, sums of money, controversies, agreements, promises, damages and liabilities of any kind or nature whatsoever, both at law and equity, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected (hereinafter referred to as "claim" or "claims"), arising from conduct occurring on or before the date of this Agreement, including without limitation any claims incidental to or arising out of Employee’s employment with the Company or the termination thereof. It is expressly understood by Employee that among the various rights and claims being waived in this release are those arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (29 U.S.C. § 621. et seq.), including the Older Workers’ Benefit Protection Act (29 U.S.C. § 626(f)). This provision is intended by the parties to be all encompassing and to act as a full and total release of any claim, whether specifically enumerated herein or not, that Employee might have or has had, that exists or ever has existed on or to the date of this Agreement, to the extent permitted by law. However, this Section 7 shall not apply to (a) any claim that may not be released under applicable law and (b) any claim to be indemnified for any losses, damages or costs arising from any action or omission as a director, officer or employee of the Company or a parent or subsidiary of the Company.

9.Employee agrees that Employee will now and forever keep the terms and monetary settlement amount of this Agreement completely confidential, and that Employee shall not disclose such to any other person directly or indirectly. As an exception to the foregoing, and the only exception, Employee may disclose the terms and monetary settlement amount of this Agreement to Employee’s attorney, tax advisor, accountant and immediate family (defined as and limited to spouse and children) who shall be advised of its confidentiality. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee may make such disclosures of the terms and monetary settlement amount of this Agreement as are required by law or as necessary for legitimate enforcement or

compliance purposes. Employee agrees that the failure to comply with the terms of this paragraph shall amount to a material breach of this Agreement which will subject Employee to the liability for all damages the Company might incur. In the event of such a breach, the Company will be entitled to all legal and equitable remedies available, including, but not limited to, injunctive relief and its attorneys’ fees to obtain said relief.

10.Employee has no recall to employment rights with respect to the Company or its affiliated companies, and this Agreement severs the employment relationship between Employee and the Company on Employee’s termination date. While Employee may apply for future employment with the Company or its affiliated companies pursuant to employment policies then in effect, the Company and its affiliated companies may in their discretion without cause decline the re-employment of Employee.

11.No later than Employee’s termination date, Employee will deliver to the Company all property of the Company, proprietary documents, proprietary data and proprietary information of any nature pertaining to the Company or its affiliated companies, and will not take from the Company or its affiliated companies any documents or data of any description or any reproduction containing or pertaining to any proprietary information nor utilize same.
