Item 2.03.
 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
 
    As SunPower Corporation (“SunPower”) disclosed in a current report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 24, 2008, SunPower Malaysia Manufacturing Sdn. Bhd., SunPower’s Malaysian subsidiary (“SP Malaysia”), entered into a facility agreement with the Government of Malaysia. SP Malaysia concurrently executed a debenture and deed of assignment in favor of the Malaysian Government, granting a security interest in a deposit account and all of SP Malaysia’s assets to secure its obligations under the facility agreement.
 
    SP Malaysia borrowed Malaysian Ringgit (“MYR”) 190.0 million under the facility agreement on December 23, 2008, MYR 185.0 million on January 15, 2009, MYR 190.0 million on September 18, 2009, and MYR 185.0 million on December 29, 2009, representing approximately $55.3 million, $53.8 million, $55.3 million and $53.8 million, respectively, based on the assumption MYR 1 currency is exchanged for $0.2909 currency on December 29, 2009.
 
    Under the terms of the facility agreement, SP Malaysia may borrow up to MYR 1.0 billion (approximately $290.9 million based on the exchange rate as of December 29, 2009) to finance the construction of its manufacturing facility in Malaysia. The loans within the facility agreement are divided into two tranches, and the weighted average interest rate applicable to the two tranches is competitive with the cost of borrowing under SunPower’s existing credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. The loans can be drawn upon through 2010. Principal is to be repaid in six quarterly payments starting in June 2015. SP Malaysia has the ability to prepay outstanding loans. All borrowings must be repaid by October 30, 2016. The loan documents include certain conditions to borrowings, representations and covenants, and events of default customary for financing transactions of this type.
