Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

SunPower Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, "SunPower," the “Company,” "we," "us," or "our") is a leading solar technology and energy services provider that offers fully integrated solar, storage and home energy solutions to customers primarily in the United States and Canada through an array of hardware, software, and financing options and "Smart Energy" solutions. Our Smart Energy initiative is designed to add layers of intelligent control to homes, buildings, and grids—all personalized through easy-to-use customer interfaces. We are a leader in the U.S. Distributed Generation (“DG”) storage and energy services market, providing customers control over electricity consumption and resiliency during power outages while providing cost savings to homeowners, businesses, governments, schools, and utilities through multiple offerings. Our sales channels include a strong network of both installing and non-installing dealers and resellers that operate in both residential and commercial markets as well as a group of talented and driven in-house sales teams within each segment engaged in direct sales to end customers. SunPower is a majority-owned subsidiary of TotalEnergies Solar INTL SAS ("Total," formerly Total Solar International SAS) and Total Gaz Electricité Holdings France SAS (“Total Gaz”), each a subsidiary of TotalEnergies SE (“TotalEnergies SE,” formerly Total SE) (see “Note 2. Transactions with Total and TotalEnergies SE).

On August 26, 2020, we completed the spin-off (the “Spin-Off”) of Maxeon Solar, a Singapore public company limited by shares, consisting of certain non-U.S. operations and assets of our former SunPower Technologies business unit. As a result of the Spin-Off, we no longer consolidate Maxeon Solar within our financial results of continuing operations. For all periods prior to the Spin-Off, the financial results of Maxeon Solar are presented as net earnings from discontinued operations on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Liquidity

We believe that our total cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our obligations over the next 12 months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. In addition, we have historically been successful in generating liquidity by divesting certain investments, such as our shares of Enphase Energy Inc. ("Enphase") common stock, as well as non-core assets; securing other sources of financing, such as accessing the capital markets; and implementing other cost reduction initiatives such as restructuring, to address our liquidity needs. Although we have historically been able to generate liquidity, we cannot assure that we will be able to continue to do so.

Basis of Presentation and Preparation
    
Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by us in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("United States" or "U.S.," and such accounting principles, "U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information, and include the accounts of SunPower, all of our subsidiaries and special purpose entities, as appropriate under U.S. GAAP. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial information included herein is unaudited, and reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of our management, of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. The January 3, 2021 consolidated balance sheet data was derived from SunPower’s audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2021, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 22, 2021, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in SunPower's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2021. The operating results for the three and nine months ended October 3, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for fiscal year 2021, or for any other future period.

We have a 52-to-53-week fiscal year that ends on the Sunday closest to December 31. Accordingly, every fifth or sixth year will be a 53-week fiscal year. The current fiscal year, fiscal 2021, is a 52-week fiscal year, while fiscal year 2020 was a 53-week fiscal year. The third quarter of fiscal 2021 ended on October 3, 2021, while the third quarter of fiscal 2020 ended on September 27, 2020.

Management Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition, specifically nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations, standalone selling price of performance obligations, and variable consideration; credit losses, including estimating macroeconomic factors affecting historical recovery rate of receivables; inventory and project asset write-downs; long-lived asset impairment, specifically estimates for valuation assumptions including discount rates and future cash flows; fair value of investments, including equity investments for which we apply the fair value option and other financial instruments; valuation of contingencies such as warranty and litigation; the incremental borrowing rate used in discounting of lease liabilities; the fair value of indemnities provided to customers and other parties; and income taxes and tax valuation allowances. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Summary of Selected Significant Accounting Policies
    
Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2021 for the full list of our significant accounting policies.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions within ASC 740, Income Taxes, and clarifies certain aspects of the current guidance to promote consistency among reporting entities. Most amendments within the standard are required to be applied on a prospective basis, while certain amendments must be applied on a retrospective or modified retrospective basis. We adopted the ASU during the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope. The ASU is an update to ASU 2020-04 issued by the FASB in March 2020 and is intended to clarify the scope of ASC 848 to include derivatives that are affected by a change in the interest rate used for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment that do not also reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued as a result of reference rate reform. This guidance was effective immediately upon issuance on January 7, 2021. We adopted the ASU during the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The adoption did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)—Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The amendment reduces the number of accounting models used for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock, which results in fewer embedded conversion features separately recognized from the host contracts. ASU 2020-06 is effective no later than the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Early adoption is permitted no earlier than the first quarter of fiscal 2021, and the ASU should be applied retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impacts of the provisions of ASU 2020-06 on our financial statements and disclosures.

Note 2. TRANSACTIONS WITH TOTAL AND TOTALENERGIES SE

In June 2011, Total completed a cash tender offer to acquire 60% of our then outstanding shares of common stock at a price of $23.25 per share, for a total cost of approximately $1.4 billion. In December 2011, we entered into a Private Placement Agreement with Total, under which Total purchased, and we issued and sold, 18.6 million shares of our common stock for a purchase price of $8.80 per share, thereby increasing Total's ownership to approximately 66% of our outstanding common stock as of that date. As of October 3, 2021, ownership of our outstanding common stock by TotalEnergies SE and its affiliates was approximately 51%. Subsequent to the Spin-Off, Total received a pro rata distribution of ordinary shares of Maxeon Solar, and its percentage ownership of shares in SunPower did not change.

Supply Agreements

In December 2019, we sold our membership interests in certain project companies that hold commercial solar power plant projects to Total Strong, LLC, a joint venture between Total and Hannon Armstrong Sustainable Infrastructure Capital, Inc. (“Hannon Armstrong”). During the three and nine months ended October 3, 2021, we recognized revenue of $11.3 million and $48.7 million, respectively, and revenue of $34.3 million and $65.7 million, during the three and nine months ended September 27, 2020, respectively, for sales to this joint venture. Sales were due to the continued recognition of engineering, procurement and construction ("EPC") revenue during the quarter, which is included within "Solar power systems, components, and other" on our consolidated statements of operations.

Affiliation Agreement

In April 2011, we and Total entered into an Affiliation Agreement that governs the relationship between Total and us (the "Affiliation Agreement"). Until the expiration of a standstill period specified in the Affiliation Agreement (the "Standstill Period"), and subject to certain exceptions, Total, TotalEnergies SE, and any of their respective affiliates and certain other related parties (collectively, the "Total Group") may not effect, seek, or enter into discussions with any third party regarding any transaction that would result in the Total Group beneficially owning our shares in excess of certain thresholds, or request us or our independent directors, officers, or employees to amend or waive any of the standstill restrictions applicable to the Total Group. The Standstill Period ends when Total holds less than 15% ownership of us.

The Affiliation Agreement imposes certain limitations on the Total Group's ability to seek to effect a tender offer or merger to acquire 100% of our outstanding voting power and imposes certain limitations on the Total Group's ability to transfer 40% or more of our outstanding shares or voting power to a single person or group that is not a direct or indirect subsidiary of TotalEnergies SE. During the Standstill Period, no member of the Total Group may, among other things, solicit proxies or become a participant in an election contest relating to the election of directors to our board of directors (the "Board").

The Affiliation Agreement provides Total with the right to maintain its percentage ownership in connection with any new securities issued by us, and Total may also purchase shares on the open market or in private transactions with disinterested stockholders, subject in each case to certain restrictions.

The Affiliation Agreement also imposes restrictions with respect to our and our Board's ability to take certain actions, including specifying certain actions that require approval by the directors other than the directors appointed by Total and other actions that require stockholder approval by Total.

On April 19, 2021, we entered into an amendment to the Affiliation Agreement with Total (the “April Affiliation Agreement Amendment”). The April Affiliation Agreement Amendment provides that our Board will include 11 members, composed of our president and chief executive officer, our immediate past chief executive officer, ("Mr. Werner"), six directors designated by Total, and three non-Total-designated directors. If the ownership of our voting securities by Total, together with the controlled subsidiaries of TotalEnergies SE, declines below certain thresholds, the number of members of the Board that Total is entitled to designate will be reduced as set forth in the Affiliation Agreement. Pursuant to the April Affiliation Agreement Amendment, Mr. Werner resigned from his position as a member of the Board on November 1, 2021. On October 29, 2021, we entered into a further amendment to the Affiliation Agreement (the “October Affiliation Agreement Amendment”), which provides that our Board will remain at 11 members until March 31, 2022 and allows for the appointment of one additional independent director to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Werner’s resignation from the Board. The October Affiliation Agreement Amendment further provides that, after March 31, 2022, the Board will revert to nine members, at which time one independent director and one Total designee will resign from the Board.

Cooperation Agreement

In December 2020, we entered into a Strategic Cooperation Framework Agreement (the "Cooperation Agreement") with Total that governs the ongoing relationship between us and Total with respect to development and sale of certain future commercial solar power projects. The Cooperation Agreement lays the foundation for the potential to jointly develop certain projects and allows us and Total to expand investments in solar power projects to provide for future opportunities and investment volume.

Among other things, the Cooperation Agreement provides for:
our obligation to offer and ability to sell certain projects to Total at pre-agreed model metrics;
our ability to obtain non-recourse financing of construction costs;
our ability to obtain financing of development costs as various milestones in the project development cycle are achieved;
11

Table of Contents

exclusivity over our offering of various post-sale services for projects sold to Total or its affiliates; and
our right to offer EPC services on certain downstream generation projects being developed by Total.

The Cooperation Agreement remains in effect until December 31, 2023, unless otherwise terminated.

0.875% Debentures Due 2021

In June 2014, we issued $400.0 million in principal amount of our 0.875% debentures due June 1, 2021. An aggregate principal amount of $250.0 million of the 0.875% debentures due 2021 was initially acquired by Total. Interest was payable semi-annually, beginning on December 1, 2014. The 0.875% debentures due 2021 were convertible into shares of our common stock at any time. When issued, the initial conversion rate in respect of the 0.875% debentures due 2021 was 20.5071 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 0.875% senior convertible debentures (which was equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $48.76 per share). After giving effect to the Spin-Off, effective September 1, 2020, the conversion rate was adjusted to 25.1388 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of debentures (which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $39.78 per share).

During the fiscal year ended January 3, 2021, we purchased $337.4 million of aggregated principal amount of the 0.875% debentures due 2021, including $250.0 million of principal amount representing the entire amount held by Total. In June 2021, we repaid the remaining outstanding principal amount of $62.5 million, none of which was held by Total.

4.00% Debentures Due 2023

In December 2015, we issued $425.0 million in principal amount of our 4.00% debentures due 2023. An aggregate principal amount of $100.0 million of the 4.00% debentures due 2023 was acquired by Total. Interest is payable semi-annually, beginning on July 15, 2016. The 4.00% debentures due 2023 are convertible into shares of our common stock at any time. When issued, the initial conversion rate in respect of the 4.00% debentures due 2023 was 32.7568 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of debentures (which was equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $30.53 per share). After giving effect to the Spin-Off, effective September 1, 2020, the conversion rate adjusted to 40.1552 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of debentures (which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $24.90 per share), which provides Total the right to acquire up to 4,015,515 shares of our common stock. Notice of the conversion rate adjustment was delivered to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, the trustee, in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the 4.00% debentures due 2023. The applicable conversion rate may further adjust in certain circumstances, including a fundamental change, as described in the indenture governing the 4.00% debentures due 2023. If not earlier repurchased or converted, the 4.00% debentures due 2023 mature on January 15, 2023.

Joint Solar Projects with Total and Its Affiliates

We enter into various EPC and operations and maintenance ("O&M") agreements relating to solar projects, including EPC and O&M services agreements relating to projects owned or partially owned by Total and its affiliates. As of October 3, 2021, we had $47.6 million of "Contract assets," $1.8 million of "Contract liabilities" and $0.3 million of "Accounts receivable, net" on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets related to projects in which Total and its affiliates have a direct or indirect material interest.

We recognize revenue for sales of modules and components at the point that control transfers to the customer, which typically occurs upon shipment or delivery to the customer, depending on the terms of the contract, and we recognize revenue for operations and maintenance and solar services over the term of the service period.

For EPC revenue and solar power systems sales, we commence recognizing revenue when control of the underlying system transfers to the customer and continue recognizing revenue over time as work is performed based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligations. For contracts in which we sell membership interests in certain project companies, we recognize revenue for the initial development and other solar assets at the point that control transfers to the customer, and we recognize continuing EPC revenue for work provided to the joint venture over time as work is performed.

Our arrangements may contain clauses such as liquidated damages for delays or early performance bonuses, most favorable pricing, or other provisions that can either increase or decrease the transaction price. These variable amounts generally are awarded upon achievement of certain performance metrics or milestones. Variable consideration is estimated at each measurement date at its most likely amount to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur and true-ups are applied prospectively as such estimates change.

14

Table of Contents

Judgment is required to evaluate assumptions including the amount of net contract revenues and the total estimated costs to determine our progress towards contract completion and to calculate the corresponding amount of revenue to recognize. If estimated total costs on any contract are greater than the net contract revenues, we recognize the entire estimated loss in the period the loss becomes known. For contracts with post-installation systems monitoring and maintenance, we recognize revenue related to systems monitoring and maintenance over the non-cancellable contract term on a straight-line basis.

Changes in estimates for sales of systems for EPC services occur for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to (i) construction plan accelerations or delays, (ii) product cost forecast changes, (iii) change orders, or (iv) changes in other information used to estimate costs. Changes in estimates may have a material effect in our consolidated statements of operations. The table below outlines the impact on revenue of net changes in estimated transaction prices and input costs for systems related sales contracts (both increases and decreases) for the three and nine months ended October 3, 2021 and September 27, 2020 as well as the number of projects that comprise such changes. For purposes of the following table, only projects with changes in estimates that have an impact on revenues and or costs of at least $1.0 million, calculated on a quarterly basis during the periods, were presented. Also included in the table is the net change in estimate as a percentage of the aggregate revenue for such projects.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

Contract assets consist of (i) retainage which represents the earned, but unbilled, portion of a construction and development project for which payment is deferred by the customer until certain contractual milestones are met; and (ii) unbilled receivables which represent revenue that has been recognized in advance of billing the customer, which is common for long-term construction contracts. Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue and customer advances, which represent consideration received from a customer prior to transferring control of goods or services to the customer under the terms of a sales contract. Refer to Note 4. Balance Sheet Components for further details. Total contract assets and contract liabilities balances as of the respective dates are as follows:

Table of Contents


During the three months ended October 3, 2021, the decrease in contract assets of $4.2 million was primarily driven by billings for commercial projects where certain milestones had been reached. During the nine months ended October 3, 2021, decrease of $28.7 million was primarily driven by a settlement for milestone achievement for one legacy power plant project, as well as a collection of variable consideration on a power plant development project sold in prior years.

During the three and nine months ended September 27, 2020, the increase in contract assets of $5.7 million and $4.5 million, respectively, was primarily driven by billings for commercial projects where certain milestones had not yet been reached, but criteria for revenue recognition has been met.

During the three months ended October 3, 2021, the increase in contract liabilities of $5.0 million was primarily due to an increased volume of invoiced contracts waiting for revenue recognition. During the nine months ended October 3, 2021, decrease of $3.8 million was due to the attainment of milestones billings for various projects.

During the three and nine months ended September 27, 2020, the decrease in contract liabilities of $2.0 million and $6.7 million, respectively, was primarily due to the utilization of customer advances.

During the three and nine months ended October 3, 2021, we recognized revenue of $32.0 million and $43.7 million, respectively, that was included in contract liabilities as of July 4, 2021 and January 3, 2021, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 27, 2020, we recognized revenue of $26.9 million and $78.4 million, respectively, that was included in contract liabilities as of June 28, 2020 and December 29, 2019, respectively.

The following table represents the average percentage of completion as of October 3, 2021 for EPC agreements for projects that we are constructing. We expect to recognize $152.0 million of revenue upon transfer of control of the projects.

Note 5. BUSINESS DIVESTITURES

Sale of Commercial Projects

During the second quarter of fiscal 2021, we sold certain commercial projects including the underlying fixed assets and debt to SunStrong Capital Holdings, LLC ("SunStrong") for total consideration of $8.9 million.

Upon closing, we received net cash consideration of $2.8 million after holdbacks totaling $0.4 million for certain retained obligations, and debt obligations repaid directly by the buyer totaling $5.6 million which were related to our PNC Energy Capital loan. We assessed the recoverability of these holdbacks and included our best estimate of the amount recoverable in the future in our calculation of net loss on sale.

In evaluating the accounting treatment for this sale, the transaction was concluded to be a sale of a business in accordance with the guidance in ASC 805, Business Combinations. We recorded a loss of $5.1 million, inclusive of $0.1 million of transaction expenses, which was recorded and netted against "(gain) loss on business divestitures, net" in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended October 3, 2021.

Sale of Residential Leases

During the second quarter of fiscal 2021, we sold certain residential lease solar systems to SunStrong for total consideration of $8.5 million.

In evaluating the accounting treatment for this sale, the transaction was concluded to be a sale of a business in accordance with the guidance in ASC 805, Business Combinations. We recorded a gain of $5.3 million, inclusive of $0.4 million of transaction expenses, which was recorded as "(gain) loss on business divestitures, net" in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended October 3, 2021.

Note 6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement (observable inputs are the preferred basis of valuation):

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Measurements are inputs that are observable for assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly, other than quoted prices included within Level 1.
Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require management inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

We measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. There were no transfers between fair value measurement levels during any presented period.

The following table summarizes our assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis as of October 3, 2021 and January 3, 2021:

Equity investments with fair value option ("FVO")

We have elected the fair value option in accordance with the guidance in ASC 825, Financial Instruments, for our investment in the SunStrong joint venture and SunStrong Partners, LLC ("SunStrong Partners"), to mitigate volatility in reported earnings that results from the use of different measurement attributes (see Note 9. Equity Investments). We initially computed the fair value for our investments consistent with the methodology and assumptions that market participants would use in their estimates of fair value with the assistance of a third-party valuation specialist. The fair value computation is updated using the same methodology on a quarterly basis considering material changes in the business of SunStrong and SunStrong Partners or other inputs. The investments are classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy because we estimate the fair value of the investments using the income approach based on the discounted cash flow method which considered estimated future financial performance, including assumptions for, among others, forecasted contractual lease income, lease expenses, residual value of these lease assets and long-term discount rates, and forecasted default rates over the lease term and discount rates, some of which require significant judgment by management and are not based on observable inputs.

The following table summarizes movements in equity investments for the nine months ended October 3, 2021. There were no internal movements between Level 1 or Level 2 fair value measurements to or from Level 3 fair value measurements for the nine months ended October 3, 2021.

2 During the nine months ended October 3, 2021, we recognized $0.7 million gain on change in valuation of equity investments within "other, net" in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. The gain was primarily due to change in forecasted cash flows of SunStrong, resulting from the sale by us to SunStrong of certain commercial projects (Refer to Note 5. Business Divestitures).

Level 3 significant unobservable inputs sensitivity

The following table summarizes the significant unobservable inputs used in Level 3 valuation of our investments carried at fair value as of October 3, 2021. Included in the table are the inputs and range of possible inputs that have an effect on the overall valuation of the financial instruments.

Total assets$8,374 

1 The primary unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of our equity investments, when using a discounted cash flow model, are the discount rate and residual value. Significant increases (decreases) in the discount rate in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. We estimate the discount rate based on risk appropriate projected cost of equity. We estimate the residual value based on the contracted systems in place in the years being projected. Significant increases (decreases) in the residual value in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.

Equity investments with readily determinable fair value

In connection with the divestment of our microinverter business to Enphase on August 9, 2018, we received 7.5 million shares of Enphase common stock (NASDAQ: ENPH). The common stock received was recorded as an equity investment with readily determinable fair value (Level 1), with changes in fair value recognized in net income in accordance with ASU 2016-01 Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities. For the three and nine months ended October 3, 2021, we recorded losses of $86.3 million and $48.0 million, respectively, within "other, net" in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations as compared to gains of $155.4 million and $274.4 million in the three and nine months ended September 27, 2020. During the three and nine months ended October 3, 2021, we sold one million shares of Enphase common stock, in open market transactions for cash proceeds of $177.8 million. During the three and nine months ended September 27, 2020, we sold one million and two million shares of Enphase common stock, respectively, in open market transactions for cash proceeds of $73.3 million and $117.0 million, respectively.

Equity investments without readily determinable fair value

These equity investments are securities in privately-held companies without readily determinable market values. We periodically adjust the carrying value of our equity securities to cost less impairment, adjusted for observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. Equity investments without readily determinable fair value are classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy because we estimate the value based on valuation methods using a combination of observable and unobservable inputs including valuation ascribed to the issuing company in subsequent financing rounds, volatility in the results of operations of the issuers and rights and obligations of the securities we hold.

Note 7. RESTRUCTURING

January 2021 Restructuring Plan

During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, we adopted a restructuring plan to realign and optimize workforce requirements concurrent with the planned closure of our manufacturing facility in Hillsboro, Oregon. In connection with the restructuring plan, which included actions to be implemented in the first quarter of 2021 and expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2021, we expected the majority of our approximately 170 primarily manufacturing employees to exit over a period of three to six months. We expected to incur restructuring charges totaling approximately $7.0 million to $9.0 million, consisting primarily of severance benefits (between $4.0 million and $5.0 million) and real estate lease termination costs (between $3.0 million and $4.0 million).

In connection with the closure, in April 2021, we signed agreements with two independent third parties to sell certain assets and liabilities, as well as retain and engage certain employees at the facility providing R&D services. The proceeds for the assets and sale of R&D services, together with the assumption of certain liabilities, reduced our previously anticipated restructuring charges by approximately $1.2 million.

As of October 3, 2021, we had incurred cumulative costs of approximately $3.6 million in restructuring charges, primarily relating to the payment of severance benefits. Remaining activities on this January 2021 restructuring plan primarily relate to payroll for some employees expected to be incurred through 2022 concurrent with the end of the R&D services agreement.

December 2019 Restructuring Plan

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, we adopted a restructuring plan to realign and optimize workforce requirements in light of changes to our business, including the Spin-Off. In connection with the restructuring plan, which included actions implemented in the fourth quarter of 2019, we expected between 145 and 160 non-manufacturing employees, representing approximately 3% of our global workforce, to exit over a period of approximately 12 to 18 months. Between 65 and 70 of these employees were expected in the legacy SunPower Technologies business unit and corporate, and most of whom exited our company following the Spin-Off, and the remainder of which exited upon completion of transition services. As the legacy SunPower Energy Services business unit refined its focus on distributed generation, storage, and energy services, 80 to 90 employees exited during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2019 and the first half of 2020. As of October 3, 2021, we had incurred cumulative costs of approximately $11.0 million in restructuring charges consisting primarily of severance and retention benefits. The 2019 restructuring plan is substantially completed.

The future purchase obligations presented above primarily consist of commitments to purchase photovoltaic modules pursuant to the supply agreement with Maxeon Solar entered into on August 26, 2020, as amended, as well as commitments to purchase Module-Level Power Electronics ("MLPE") supplied by one vendor.

The terms of all our long-term supply agreements are reviewed annually by us and we assess the need for any accruals for estimated losses on adverse purchase commitments, such as lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments that will not be recovered by future sales prices, forfeiture of advanced deposits and liquidated damages, as necessary.

Product Warranties

The following table summarizes accrued warranty activities for the three and nine months ended October 3, 2021 and September 27, 2020:

Three Months EndedNine Months Ended
(In thousands)October 3, 2021September 27, 2020October 3, 2021September 27, 2020

Balance at the end of the period$64,655 $88,393 $64,655 $88,393 

In some cases, we may offer customers the option to purchase extended warranties to ensure protection beyond the standard warranty period. In those circumstances, the warranty is considered a distinct service and we account for the extended warranty as a performance obligation and allocate a portion of the transaction price to that performance obligation. More frequently, customers do not purchase a warranty separately. In those situations, we account for the warranty as an assurance-type warranty, which provides customers with assurance that the product complies with agreed-upon specifications, and this does not represent a separate performance obligation. Such warranties are recorded separately as liabilities and presented within "accrued liabilities" and "other long-term liabilities" on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets (see Note 4. Balance Sheet Components). Further, if we encounter issues related to the quality of our products or components of our products, we may institute corrective action plans, including proactive repair or replacement, delay or stop shipment of one or more products, the result of which may cause us to incur material costs and divert operational attention. We assess the impact of such issues and resulting warranty obligations on the sufficiency of our warranty accrual when the issue is known and amount to be incurred is probable and measurable.

Project Agreements with Customers

Project agreements entered into with our commercial and power plant customers often require us to undertake obligations including: (i) system output performance warranties, (ii) penalty payments or customer termination rights if the system we are constructing is not commissioned within specified time frames or other milestones are not achieved, and (iii) system put rights whereby we could be required to buy back a customer's system at fair value on specified future dates if certain minimum performance thresholds are not met for specified periods. Historically, our systems have generally performed above their performance warranty thresholds, and our output performance warranty payments to the customers have not been material. Also, there have been no cases in which we have had to buy back a system. As of October 3, 2021 and January 3, 2021, we had $7.5 million and $9.1 million, respectively, classified as "accrued liabilities," and $2.7 million and $3.1 million, respectively, classified as "other long-term liabilities" on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets for such obligations.

Liabilities Associated with Uncertain Tax Positions
 
Total liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions were $15.0 million and $12.6 million as of October 3, 2021 and January 3, 2021, respectively. These amounts are included within "other long-term liabilities" on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets in their respective periods as they are not expected to be paid within the next 12 months. Due to the complexity and uncertainty associated with our tax positions, we cannot make a reasonably reliable estimate of the period in which cash settlement, if any, would be made for our liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions in Other long-term liabilities.

Table of Contents

Indemnifications
 
We are a party to a variety of agreements under which we may be obligated to indemnify the counterparty with respect to certain matters. Typically, these obligations arise in connection with contracts and license agreements or the sale of assets, under which we customarily agree to hold the other party harmless against losses arising from a breach of warranties, representations and covenants related to such matters as title to assets sold, negligent acts, damage to property, validity of certain intellectual property rights, non-infringement of third-party rights, and certain tax-related matters including indemnification to customers under Section 48(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, regarding solar commercial investment tax credits ("ITCs") and U.S. Treasury Department ("U.S. Treasury") cash grant payments under Section 1603 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (each a "Cash Grant"). Further, in connection with our sale of residential lease assets in fiscal 2018 to SunStrong, we provide Hannon Armstrong indemnification related to cash flow losses arising from a recapture of California property taxes on account of a change in ownership, recapture of federal tax attributes and cash flow losses from leases that do not generate the promised savings to homeowners. The maximum exposure to loss arising from the indemnification for SunStrong is limited to the consideration received for the solar power systems. In each of these circumstances, payment by us is typically subject to the other party making a claim to us that is contemplated by and valid under the indemnification provisions of the particular contract, which provisions are typically contract-specific, as well as bringing the claim under the procedures specified in the particular contract. These procedures typically allow us to challenge the other party's claims or, in case of breach of intellectual property representations or covenants, to control the defense or settlement of any third-party claims brought against the other party. Further, our obligations under these agreements may be limited in terms of activity (typically to replace or correct the products or terminate the agreement with a refund to the other party), duration or amount. In some instances, we may have recourse against third parties or insurance covering certain payments made by us.
 
In certain circumstances, we are contractually obligated to compensate customers and investors for losses they may suffer as a result of reductions in benefits received under ITCs and U.S. Treasury Cash Grant programs. The indemnity expires in conjunction with the statute of limitation and recapture periods in accordance with the underlying laws and regulations for such ITCs and related benefits. We apply for ITCs and Cash Grant incentives based on guidance provided by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and the U.S. Treasury, which include assumptions regarding the fair value of the qualified solar power systems, among others. Certain of our development agreements, sale-leaseback arrangements, and financing arrangements with tax equity investors incorporate assumptions regarding the future level of incentives to be received, which in some instances may be claimed directly by our customers and investors. Generally, such obligations would arise as a result of reductions to the value of the underlying solar power systems as assessed by the IRS. At each balance sheet date, we assess and recognize, when applicable, the potential exposure from these obligations based on all the information available at that time, including any audits undertaken by the IRS. The maximum potential future payments that we could have to make under this obligation would depend on the difference between the eligible basis claimed on the tax filing for the solar energy systems sold or transferred to indemnified parties and the values that the IRS may determine as the eligible basis for the systems for purposes of claiming ITCs or Cash Grants. We use the eligible basis for tax filing purposes determined with the assistance of independent third-party appraisals to determine the ITCs that are passed through to and claimed by the indemnified parties. We continue to retain certain indemnities, specifically, around ITCs, Cash Grants and California property taxes, even after the underlying portfolio of assets is sold to a third party. For contracts that have such indemnification provisions, we recognize a liability under ASC 460, Guarantees, for the estimated premium that would be required by a guarantor to issue the same guarantee in a standalone arm’s-length transaction with an unrelated party. We recognize such liabilities at the greater of the fair value of the indemnity or the contingent liability required to be recognized under ASC 450, Contingencies. We initially estimate the fair value of any such indemnities provided based on the cost of insurance policies that cover the underlying risks being indemnified and may purchase such policies to mitigate our exposure to potential indemnification payments. After an indemnification liability is recorded, we derecognize such amount typically upon expiration or settlement of the arrangement. As of October 3, 2021 and January 3, 2021, our provision was $9.6 million and $9.4 million, respectively, primarily for tax-related indemnifications.

SunPower is party to various supply agreements (collectively, the “Hemlock Agreements”) with Hemlock Semiconductor Operations LLC (f/k/a Hemlock Semiconductor Corporation) and its affiliate, Hemlock Semiconductor, LLC, for the procurement of polysilicon. In connection with the Spin-Off, SunPower and Maxeon Solar entered into an agreement pursuant to which Maxeon Solar received SunPower’s rights under the Hemlock Agreements (including SunPower’s deposits and advanced payments thereunder) and, in return, Maxeon Solar agreed to perform all of SunPower’s existing and future obligations under the Hemlock Agreements (including all take-or-pay obligations). While, as we remain a party to the Hemlock Agreements, we may contractually be liable to the vendor in case of non-payment by Maxeon Solar, we do not believe we have any current exposure under the Hemlock Agreements as of the quarter ended October 3, 2021. Maxeon Solar's remaining obligations under the Hemlock Agreements amount to $31.6 million and $125.8 million for the remainder of fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2022, respectively. This is gross of prepayments of $61.6 million as of October 3, 2021. This indemnity qualifies for the criteria for accounting under the guidance in ASC 460 which requires us to recognize such liabilities at the greater of the fair value of the indemnity or the contingent liability required to be recognized under ASC 450, Contingencies. As of the quarter ended October 3, 2021, our exposure to potential indemnification payments is deemed immaterial based on the information available to us.

Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement entered into by us and Maxeon Solar, we also agreed to indemnify Maxeon Solar for any liabilities arising out of certain existing litigation relating to businesses contributed to Maxeon Solar in connection with the Spin-Off. We expect to be actively involved in managing this litigation together with Maxeon Solar. The indemnity qualifies for the criteria for accounting under the guidance in ASC 460 and we have recorded the liability of litigation of $4.3 million equal to the fair value of the guarantee provided as of the period ended October 3, 2021.

Legal Matters

We are a party to various litigation matters and claims that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. While we believe that the ultimate outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on us, their outcomes are not determinable and negative outcomes may adversely affect our financial position, liquidity, or results of operations.

Note 9. EQUITY INVESTMENTS

Our equity investments consist of equity investments with readily determinable fair value, investments without readily determinable fair value, equity investments accounted for using the fair value option, and equity method investments.

Our share of earnings (losses) from equity investments accounted for under the equity method is reflected as "Equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated investees" in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Mark-to-market gains and losses on equity investments are reflected as "other, net" under other income (expense), net in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The carrying value of our equity investments, classified as "other long-term assets" on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, are as follows:

Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs")

A VIE is an entity that has either (i) insufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or (ii) equity investors who lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest.

We follow guidance on the consolidation of VIEs that requires companies to utilize a qualitative approach to determine whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. The process for identifying the primary beneficiary of a VIE requires consideration of the factors that indicate a party has the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the investees' economic performance, including powers granted to the investees' governing board and, to a certain extent, a company's economic interest in the investee. We analyze our investments in VIEs and classify them as either unconsolidated VIEs or consolidated VIEs (refer to our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2021 for further details on our various VIE arrangements).

Unconsolidated VIEs    

We have elected the FVO in accordance with the guidance in ASC 825, Financial Instruments, for our investments in SunStrong, SunStrong Partners, and 8point3 Holdings, our unconsolidated VIEs. Refer to Note 6. Fair Value Measurements.

Our outstanding convertible debentures are senior, unsecured obligations ranking equally with all of our existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness.

Loan Agreement with California Enterprise Development Authority ("CEDA")

In 2010, we borrowed the proceeds of the $30.0 million aggregate principal amount of CEDA's tax-exempt Recovery Zone Facility Revenue Bonds (SunPower Corporation - Headquarters Project) Series 2010 (the "Bonds") under a loan agreement with CEDA. The Bonds mature on April 1, 2031 and bear interest at a fixed rate of 8.50% through maturity, and include customary covenants and other restrictions on us. As per the terms of the agreement, the bonds were subject to a 'make-whole' provision, wherein if retired prior to April 1, 2021, the Company has to 'make-whole' the bond holders for the full amount of unpaid interest through the term of the loan. After the make-whole provision expired in April 2021, the bonds can be retired any time at par value.

In April 2021, we repaid the outstanding principal amount of our $30.0 million loan with CEDA.

Other Debt

We enter into other debt arrangements to finance our operations, including sometimes entering into project level non-recourse debt dependent on the needs of the project. As of October 3, 2021, we had other debt of $108.4 million outstanding.

2 In fiscal 2013, we entered into a financing agreement with PNC Energy Capital, LLC to finance our construction projects. Interest is calculated at a per annum rate equal to LIBOR plus 4.13%. These debt obligations, and corresponding interest rate swap contracts, were assumed by the buyer in our sale of commercial projects portfolio during the second quarter of fiscal 2021 (see Note 5. Business Divestitures for additional details).

Asset-Backed Loan with Bank of America

On March 29, 2019, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Bank of America, N.A, which, together with subsequent amendments, provides a revolving credit facility secured by certain inventory and accounts receivable in the maximum aggregate principal amount of $75.0 million. The Loan and Security Agreement contains negative and affirmative covenants, events of default and repayment and prepayment provisions customarily applicable to asset-backed credit facilities. The facility bears a floating interest rate of LIBOR plus an applicable margin, and matures on the earliest of (1) October 15, 2022 (a date that is 91 days prior to the maturity of our 4.00% debentures due 2023), (2) March 29, 2024, or (3) the termination of the commitments thereunder. The balance outstanding on the revolver was $41.8 million and $32.8 million, respectively, as of October 3, 2021 and January 3, 2021.

Note 11. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

CEO Stock Purchase

In connection with his commencement of employment with the Company on April 19, 2021, Peter Faricy, SunPower Corporation’s chief executive officer, was granted the right to purchase up to $3.0 million in shares of SunPower’s common stock based on the closing trading price on the date of purchase. For each share of common stock purchased within the 12-month period commencing on April 19, 2021, SunPower agreed to grant to Mr. Faricy one restricted stock unit (the “Matching RSUs”). The Matching RSUs vest in equal installments on each of the first two anniversaries of the last day of the calendar quarter in which Mr. Faricy purchases the related common stock. On April 26, 2021, Mr. Faricy purchased 101,730 shares of common stock for an aggregate of $3.0 million and SunPower issued the equivalent Matching RSUs.

Note 12. INCOME TAXES

In the three months ended October 3, 2021, our income tax benefit of $2.2 million on a loss from continuing operations before income taxes and equity in earnings of unconsolidated investees of $86.5 million was primarily due to the deferred taxes on mark-to-market unrealized losses on equity investments. Our income tax provision of $36.7 million in the three months ended September 27, 2020 on a profit from continuing operations before income taxes and equity in earnings of unconsolidated investees of $146.4 million was primarily due to associated domestic tax expenses arising from the taxable gain related to the Spin-Off, and foreign withholding taxes from foreign dividend distributions.

In the nine months ended October 3, 2021, our income tax benefit of $5.0 million on a loss from continuing operations before income taxes and equity in earnings of unconsolidated investees of $64.0 million was primarily due to windfall benefits from stock-based compensation deduction and the true-up of estimated state tax liability. Our income tax provision of $38.7 million in the nine months ended September 27, 2020 on a profit from continuing operations before income taxes and equity in earnings of unconsolidated investees of $223.1 million was primarily due to domestic tax expense arising from the taxable gain related to the Spin-Off, and foreign withholding taxes from foreign dividend distributions.

During the three and nine months ended October 3, 2021, in accordance with FASB guidance for interim reporting of income tax, we have computed our provision for income taxes based on a projected annual effective tax rate. Estimates of the annual effective tax rate at the end of interim periods are, of necessity, based on evaluations of possible future events and transactions and may be subject to subsequent refinement or revision. If a reliable estimate cannot be made, the actual effective tax rate for the year to date may be the best estimate of the annual effective tax rate.

Total liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions were $15.0 million and $12.6 million as of October 3, 2021 and January 3, 2021, respectively. The increase of $2.4 million was primarily due to amounts reclassified from deferred tax liability related to the treatment of equity investment tax gain for states.

Note 13. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
 
We calculate basic net income (loss) per share by dividing earnings allocated to common stockholders by the basic weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period.

Diluted weighted-average shares is computed by using the basic weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus any potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period using the treasury-stock method and the if-converted method, except when their effect is anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities include restricted stock units and the outstanding senior convertible debentures.
34

Table of Contents


ASC 260 requires that companies use income from continuing operations as a "control number" or benchmark to determine whether potential common shares are dilutive or antidilutive. When calculating discontinued operations, we used the same number of potential common shares used in computing the diluted per-share amount of income from continuing operations in computing all other reported diluted per-share amounts, even if the effect will be antidilutive compared to their respective basic per-share amounts.

Note 15. SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

Our Residential, Light Commercial ("RLC") segment refers to sales of fully integrated solar, storage and home energy solutions and components, through a combination of our third-party installing and non-installing dealer network and resellers and our in-house sales team. The Commercial and Industrial Solutions ("C&I Solutions") segment refers to direct sales of turn-key EPC services and sales of energy under power purchase agreements ("PPAs"). Certain legacy businesses consisting of worldwide power plant project development and project sales that we are winding down, as well as U.S. manufacturing, are not significant to overall operations, and are deemed non-core to our other businesses and classified as "Others." Certain key cross-functional support functions and responsibilities including corporate strategy, treasury, tax and accounting support and services, among others, continue to be centrally managed within the Corporate function.

Each segment is managed by a business general manager that reports to our chief executive officer, as the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), who reviews our business, manages resource allocations and measures performance of our activities between the RLC, C&I Solutions and Other segments. The CODM further views the business performance of each segment under two key sources of revenues - Dev Co and Power Co. Dev Co refers to our solar origination and installation revenue stream within each segment such as sale of solar power systems with our dealers and resellers network as well as installation and EPC revenue, while Power Co refers to our post-system sale recurring services revenue, mainly from asset management services and O&M services through our SunStrong partnership dealer services for RLC and our commercial dealer network for C&I Solutions. The risk profile of each revenue stream is different, and therefore the segregation of Dev Co and Power Co provides the CODM with appropriate information to review business performance and allocate resources to each segment.

Adjustments Made for Segment Purposes

Adjustments Based on International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)

Mark-to-market gain (loss) on equity investments

We recognize adjustments related to the fair value of equity investments with readily determinable fair value based on the changes in the stock price of these equity investments at every reporting period. Under U.S. GAAP, mark-to-market gains and losses due to changes in stock prices for these securities are recorded in earnings while under IFRS, an election can be made to recognize such gains and losses in other comprehensive income. Such an election was made by TotalEnergies SE. Further, we elected the FVO for some of our equity investments, and we adjust the carrying value of those investments based on their fair market value calculated periodically. Such option is not available under IFRS, and equity method accounting is required for those investments. Management believes that excluding these adjustments on equity investments is consistent with our internal reporting process as part of our status as a consolidated subsidiary of TotalEnergies SE and better reflects our ongoing results.

Other Adjustments

Intersegment gross margin

Our U.S. manufacturing operations that are part of the Others segment manufacture and sell solar modules to both operating segments, RLC and C&I Solutions, based on transfer prices determined by management's assessment of market-based pricing terms. Such intersegment sales and related costs are eliminated at the corporate level to derive our unaudited condensed consolidated financial results.

Gain or Loss on sale and impairment of residential lease assets

In fiscal 2018 and 2019, in an effort to sell all the residential lease assets owned by us, we sold membership units representing a 49% membership interest in majority of our residential lease business and retained a 51% membership interest. We record an impairment charge based on the expected fair value for a portion of residential lease assets portfolio that was retained. Any charges or credits on these remaining unsold residential lease assets, as well as corresponding depreciation savings, are excluded from our non-GAAP results as they are not reflective of ongoing operating results.

Stock-based compensation

Stock-based compensation relates primarily to our equity incentive awards. Stock-based compensation is a non-cash expense that is dependent on market forces that are difficult to predict. We believe that this adjustment for stock-based compensation provides investors with a basis to measure our core performance, including the ability to compare our performance with the performance of other companies, without the period-to-period variability created by stock-based compensation.

Gain or Loss on business divestitures, net

In the second quarter of fiscal 2021, we sold a portion of our residential lease business and certain commercial projects recognizing a gain and a loss, respectively relating to these business divestitures. We believe that it is appropriate to exclude this gain and loss from our segment results as they are not reflective of ongoing operating results.

Transaction-related costs

In connection with material transactions such as acquisition or divestiture of a business, we incur transaction costs including legal and accounting fees. We believe that it is appropriate to exclude these costs from our segment results as they would not have otherwise been incurred as part of our business operations and are therefore not reflective of ongoing operating results.

38

Table of Contents

Executive transition costs

We incur non-recurring charges related to the hiring and transition of new executive officers. During the second quarter of fiscal 2021, we appointed a new chief executive officer and chief legal officer, and are investing resources in those executive transitions and in developing new members of management as we complete our restructuring transformation. We believe that it is appropriate to exclude these from our non-GAAP results as they are not reflective of ongoing operating results.

Business reorganization costs

In connection with the Spin-Off of Maxeon Solar in fiscal 2020, we incurred, and expect to continue to incur in upcoming quarters, non-recurring charges on third-party consulting expenses, primarily to enable the separation of shared information technology systems and applications. We believe that it is appropriate to exclude these from our non-GAAP results as they are not reflective of ongoing operating results.

Restructuring charges or credits

We incur restructuring expenses related to reorganization plans aimed towards realigning resources consistent with our global strategy and improving our overall operating efficiency and cost structure. Although we have engaged in restructuring activities in the past, each has been a discrete event based on a unique set of business objectives. We believe that it is appropriate to exclude these from our non-GAAP results as they are not reflective of ongoing operating results.

Results of operations of legacy business to be exited

We excluded the first quarter 2021 results of operations of our Hillsboro, Oregon, facility from our non-GAAP results given that the Hillsboro, Oregon, facility ceased revenue generation in the first fiscal quarter of 2021 and all subsequent activities are focused on the wind-down of operations. As such, they are not reflective of ongoing operating results.

Litigation

We may be involved in various litigation, claims, and proceedings that result in payments or recoveries. We exclude gains or losses associated with such events because the gains or losses do not reflect our underlying financial results in the period incurred. We believe that it is appropriate to exclude these from our non-GAAP results as they are not reflective of ongoing operating results.

Acquisition of Blue Raven Solar Holdings, LLC ("Blue Raven")

On October 4, 2021, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Blue Raven, a Delaware limited liability company, and thirty-five percent (35%) of the issued and outstanding membership interests in Albatross Software LLC, also a Delaware limited liability company and an affiliate of Blue Raven, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement“) dated as of October 4, 2021.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we agreed to pay up to $145 million in cash consideration, subject to a customary working capital adjustment.

The Company has also agreed to make an additional cash payment of up to $20 million based on Blue Raven’s revenue for the period beginning on September 13, 2021 and ending June 19, 2022 by meeting certain quantitative thresholds.

We are currently in the process of evaluating the business combination accounting considerations, including the consideration transferred and the initial purchase price allocation in accordance with the guidance in ASC 805, Business Combinations.

Residential, Light Commercial

Revenue for the segment increased by 42% and 31% during the three and nine months ended October 3, 2021, respectively, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 27, 2020, primarily due to a higher volume in residential cash and loan channel, and higher volume of residential new home lease channel.

Commercial and Industrial Solutions

Revenue for the segment decreased by 46% during the three months ended October 3, 2021 as compared to the three months ended September 27, 2020, primarily due to a decrease in the number of development projects and cash sales, as well as lower EPC revenue.

Revenue for the segment decreased by 12% during the nine months ended October 3, 2021 as compared to the nine months ended September 27, 2020, primarily due to a decrease in the number of development projects and cash sales and EPC revenue, partially offset by a one-time incentive revenue on completion of the sale of a development project.

Others

Revenue for the segment decreased by 83% and 82% during the three and nine months ended October 3, 2021, respectively, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 27, 2020, primarily due to the discontinuation of manufacturing in our Hillsboro, Oregon facility in the first and second quarters of fiscal 2021, as well as lower O&M revenue as a result of the sale of our O&M services contracts and related assets and liabilities during the second quarter of fiscal 2020.

Total Cost of Revenues and Gross Margin

Our total cost of revenues increased by 11% during the three months ended October 3, 2021 as compared to the three months ended September 27, 2020, primarily due to higher volume in residential cash, loan, and new home lease channels, in the RLC segment.

Our total cost of revenues increased by 11% during the nine months ended October 3, 2021 as compared to the nine months ended September 27, 2020, primarily due to higher volume in residential cash, loan, and new home lease channels, higher digital and consulting spending during fiscal 2021 in our RLC and C&I Solutions segments, as well as an increase in cost of sales for development projects due to higher installation costs. This was offset by a decrease in cost of revenues in our Others segment due to the discontinuation of manufacturing in Hillsboro, Oregon facility, in the first quarter of fiscal 2021.

In connection with the Spin-Off, we and Maxeon Solar entered into a transition services agreement under which we are providing certain labor and non-labor services to Maxeon Solar and received limited services with respect to certain shared processes following the Spin-Off. The term of the transition services agreement was 12 months, extendable for up to an additional 180 days, and the services are billed at cost plus a standard mark-up. While most services under the agreement have ended, we extended the term of certain services mainly relating to the transition of technology and software applications currently shared by the two companies. We recorded $0.5 million and $5.2 million of income for services provided under the transition services agreement, net of services provided by Maxeon Solar, resulting in a reduction to operating expenses on the consolidated statement of operations during the three and nine months ended October 3, 2021, respectively.

Interest expense decreased by $0.4 million and $2.3 million during the three and nine months ended October 3, 2021, respectively, primarily due to the repayment of our convertible debentures during the second quarter of fiscal 2021, as well as the repurchase of our convertible debentures during the first and third quarters of fiscal 2020.

Other income decreased year over year by $241.5 million and $322.6 million in the three and nine months ended October 3, 2021, respectively, primarily due to a loss of $86.3 million and $48.0 million on equity investments with a readily determinable fair value, in the three and nine months ended October 3, 2021, as compared to a gain of $155.4 million and $274.4 million in the three and nine months ended September 27, 2020, respectively.

In the three months ended October 3, 2021, our income tax benefit of $2.2 million on a loss from continuing operations before income taxes and equity in earnings of unconsolidated investees of $86.5 million was primarily due to the deferred taxes on mark-to-market unrealized losses on equity investments. Our income tax provision of $36.7 million in the three months ended September 27, 2020 on a profit from continuing operations before income taxes and equity in earnings of unconsolidated investees of $146.4 million was primarily due to associated domestic tax expenses arising from the taxable gain related to the Spin-Off, and foreign withholding taxes from foreign dividend distributions.

In the nine months ended October 3, 2021, our income tax benefit of $5.0 million on a loss from continuing operations before income taxes and equity in earnings of unconsolidated investees of $64.0 million was primarily due to windfall benefits from stock-based compensation deduction and the true-up of estimated state tax liability. Our income tax provision of $38.7 million in the nine months ended September 27, 2020 on a profit from continuing operations before income taxes and equity in earnings of unconsolidated investees of $223.1 million was primarily due to domestic tax expense arising from the taxable gain related to the Spin-Off, and foreign withholding taxes from foreign dividend distributions.

As of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2021, as part of our continuing operations, an insignificant amount of the accumulated foreign earnings was located outside of the United States and may be subjected to foreign income tax or withholding tax liability upon repatriations. However, the accumulated foreign earnings are intended to be indefinitely reinvested in our foreign subsidiaries; therefore, no such foreign taxes have been provided. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability related to these earnings is not practicable.

We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets in the United States and Mexico to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we consider historical levels of income, expectations and risks associated with the estimates of future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. In the event we determine that we would be able to realize additional deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the net recorded amount, or if we subsequently determine that realization of an amount previously recorded is unlikely, we would record an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would change income tax in the period of adjustment.

Net (Income) Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

Net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests$(69)$(230)(70)%$1,482 $2,512 (41)%

In September 2019, we entered the Solar Sail LLC ("Solar Sail") and Solar Sail Commercial Holdings, LLC ("Solar Sail Commercial") joint ventures with Hannon Armstrong Sustainable Infrastructure Capital, Inc. (“Hannon Armstrong”), to finance the purchase of 200 megawatts of panel inventory in accordance with IRS safe harbor guidance, to preserve the 30% federal ITC for third-party owned commercial and residential systems. We determined that we hold controlling interests in Solar Sail and Solar Sail Commercial and therefore we have fully consolidated these entities. We apply the hypothetical liquidation at book value (“HLBV”) method in allocating recorded net income (loss) to each investor based on the change in the reporting period, of the amount of net assets of the entity to which each investor would be entitled to under the governing contractual arrangements in a liquidation scenario.

The net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests decreased by $0.2 million for the three months ended October 3, 2021 as compared to the three months ended September 27, 2020, primarily due to lower allocation of net income including tax credits and accelerated tax depreciation benefits, using the HLBV method, to noncontrolling interests in Solar Sail and Solar Sail Commercial.

The net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests decreased by $1.0 million for the nine months ended October 3, 2021, compared to the nine months ended September 27, 2020, primarily due to higher allocation of net loss including tax credits and accelerated tax depreciation benefits, using the HLBV method, to noncontrolling interests in Solar Sail and Solar Sail Commercial.

Critical Accounting Estimates

We prepare our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses recorded in our financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

These estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

There were no significant changes in our critical accounting estimates during the fiscal quarter ended October 3, 2021 compared to those previously disclosed in “Critical Accounting Estimates” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

A summary of the sources and uses of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and restricted cash equivalents is as follows:
 Nine Months Ended
(In thousands)October 3, 2021September 27, 2020
Net cash used in operating activities$(42,065)$(202,513)
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities$185,635 $(10,869)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities$(109,536)$104,268 

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended October 3, 2021 of $42.1 million consisted of net income adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities.

The $160.4 million decrease in cash used in operations in the nine months ended October 3, 2021 compared to the corresponding nine months ended September 27, 2020, was primarily due a lower net loss in the current fiscal year compared to the prior fiscal year, after excluding non-cash items, most significantly, the Enphase mark-to-market adjustment, as well as lower outflow on contract assets resulting from a collection of payment upon a milestone accomplishment in the current fiscal year.

Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended October 3, 2021 of $185.6 million primarily consisted of proceeds from business divestitures, net of cash, and proceeds from sale of equity investments, partially offset by purchases of property, plant, and equipment and investments in intangible assets.

The $196.5 million increase in net cash provided by investing activities in the nine months ended October 3, 2021 compared to the corresponding nine months ended September 27, 2020, primarily resulted from higher cash outflow during the nine months ended September 27, 2020, due to cash outflow upon the Maxeon Solar Spin-Off, net of proceeds, as well as lower proceeds from sale of equity investments in the third quarter of fiscal 2020.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended October 3, 2021 of $109.5 million primarily consisted of cash paid for repurchase and retirement of convertible debt, net repayment of other debt and purchase of stock for tax withholding obligations on vested restricted stock.

The $213.8 million increase in net cash used in financing activities in the nine months ended October 3, 2021 compared to the corresponding nine months ended September 27, 2020, primarily resulted from proceeds of Maxeon Solar convertible debt in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 prior to the spin-off, and higher net repayment of all other debt.

Capital Resources

As of October 3, 2021, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $268.6 million as compared to $232.8 million as of January 3, 2021. These cash balances were held primarily in the United States; however, we had approximately $1.2 million held outside of the United States. This offshore cash is used to fund our business operations in Mexico, Canada, and the Asia Pacific region, which require local payment for payroll, materials, and other expenses. We use our available cash on-hand and short term equity investment, as well as various types of recourse and non-recourse debt as a primary source of funding for our operations, capital expenditure and mergers and acquisitions.

52

Table of Contents

Our C&I Solutions segment requires capital investment on development of large commercial solar power projects over a longer periods of time. While we will move towards a less capital-intensive business model in the near-term, we will continue to need capital in order to grow our business, including investment in customer acquisition costs as well as product and digital investments. We will seek to raise additional required capital through various cost-effective sources, including restructuring or refinancing the 2023 convertible debt, as well as potential debt and equity financing.

Overall, we maintain working capital and debt levels that we establish through consideration of a number of factors, including cash flow expectations, cash requirements for operations, our cost of capital, and targeted capital structure.

We believe that our total cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our obligations over the next 12 months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. In addition, we have historically been successful in generating liquidity by divesting certain investments and businesses, such as our shares of Enphase common stock, as well as non-core assets; securing other sources of financing, such as accessing the capital markets; and implementing other cost reduction initiatives such as restructuring, to address our liquidity needs. Although we have historically been able to generate liquidity, we cannot assure that we will be able to continue to do so.

1 Convertible debt, including interest, relates to the aggregate of $425.0 million in outstanding principal amount of our senior convertible debentures due 2023. For the purpose of the table above, we assume that all holders of our convertible debt will continue to hold through the date of maturity, and will not convert.

2 Other debt, including interest, primarily relates to our non-recourse financing and other debt arrangements as described in Note 10. Debt and Credit Sources.

3 Operating lease commitments primarily relate to various facility lease agreements including leases entered into that have not yet commenced.

4 Non-cancellable purchase orders relate to purchases of tools and construction equipment.

5 Supply agreement commitments primarily relate to arrangements entered into with several suppliers, including Maxeon Solar, for purchase of photovoltaic solar modules, as well as with a supplier for module-level power electronics and alternating current cables. These agreements specify future quantities and pricing of products to be supplied by the vendors for periods of two years and five years, respectively, and there are certain consequences, such as forfeiture of advanced deposits and liquidated damages relating to previous purchases, in the event we terminate these arrangements.

Liabilities Associated with Uncertain Tax Positions

Due to the complexity and uncertainty associated with our tax positions, we cannot make a reasonably reliable estimate of the period in which cash settlement will be made for our liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions in other long-term liabilities. Therefore, they have been excluded from the table above. As of October 3, 2021 and January 3, 2021, total liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions were $15.0 million and $12.6 million, respectively, and are included within "Other long-term liabilities" in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as they are not expected to be paid within the next twelve months.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk affecting SunPower, see "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in Item 7A of Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2021. There have been no material changes in our market risk exposures since January 3, 2021.

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain "disclosure controls and procedures," as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure control and procedure also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of October 3, 2021 at a reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The following information updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the risk factors we previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2021 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended April 4, 2021 and July 4, 2021. There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2021 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended April 4, 2021 and July 4, 2021, except as disclosed below.

Acquisitions of other companies, project development pipelines and other assets, or investments in or joint ventures with other companies, as well as divestitures and other significant transactions, could materially and adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition, and dilute our stockholders’ equity.

To further our business strategy and maintain our competitive position, we have acquired a number of other companies and entered into joint ventures in past years, including our acquisition of Solaire Generation, Inc. in fiscal 2015, our SunStrong and Solar Sail joint ventures with Hannon Armstrong, our acquisition of SolarWorld Americas in fiscal 2018, and our acquisition of Blue Raven Solar in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. In the future, we may acquire additional companies, project pipelines, products, or technologies, make strategic investments, and enter into additional joint ventures or other strategic initiatives.

Acquisitions, joint ventures, and divestitures involve a number of risks that could harm our business and performance, including:

insufficient experience with technologies and markets in which an acquired business or joint venture is involved, which may be necessary to successfully operate and/or integrate the business or the joint venture;

problems integrating the acquired operations, personnel, IT infrastructure, technologies, or products with the existing business and products;

diversion of management time and attention from the core business to an acquired business or joint venture or in connection with a strategic transaction;

potential failure to retain or hire key technical, management, sales, and other personnel of the acquired business or joint venture;

difficulties in retaining or building relationships with suppliers and customers of the acquired business or joint venture, particularly where such customers or suppliers compete with us;

potential failure of the due diligence processes to identify significant issues with product quality and development or legal and financial liabilities, among other things;

potential inability to obtain, or obtain in a timely manner, approvals from governmental authorities or work councils, which could delay or prevent acquisitions, delay our ability to achieve synergies, or adversely impact our successful operation of acquired companies or joint ventures;

potential necessity to re-apply for permits as a result of acquired or divested projects;

problems managing joint ventures with our partners, meeting capital requirements for expansion, potential litigation with joint venture partners and reliance upon joint ventures which we do not control;

differences in philosophy, strategy, or goals with our joint venture partners;

subsequent impairment of the acquired assets, including intangible assets; and

assumption of liabilities including, but not limited to, lawsuits, tax examinations, warranty issues, environmental matters, and liabilities associated with compliance with laws (for example, the FCPA).

Additionally, we may decide that it is in our best interests to enter into acquisitions or joint ventures that are dilutive to earnings per share or that negatively impact margins or cash flow as a whole in the short to medium term. In an effort to reduce our cost of revenues, we have and may continue to enter into acquisitions or joint ventures involving suppliers or manufacturing

partners, which would expose us to additional supply chain risks. Acquisitions or joint ventures could also require investment of significant financial resources and require us to obtain additional equity financing, which may dilute our stockholders’ equity, or require us to incur additional indebtedness. Such equity or debt financing may not be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all. In addition, we could in the future make additional investments in our joint ventures or guarantee certain financial obligations of our joint ventures, which could reduce our cash flows, increase our indebtedness, and expose us to the credit risk of our joint ventures.

To the extent that we invest in upstream suppliers or downstream channel capabilities, we may experience competition or channel conflict with certain of our existing and potential suppliers and customers. Specifically, existing and potential suppliers and customers may perceive that we are competing directly with them by virtue of such investments and may decide to reduce or eliminate their supply volume to us or order volume from us.

Acquisitions could also result in dilutive issuances of equity securities, the use of our available cash, or the incurrence of debt, which could harm our financial results. Further, we may not realize some or all of the anticipated strategic, financial, operational, marketing or other benefits from the acquisitions or joint ventures. We cannot predict with certainty when the benefits expected from these transactions will occur or the extent to which they will be achieved.

We depend on a limited number of suppliers, including Maxeon Solar, for certain critical raw materials, components and finished products, including our solar cells and modules. Any supply interruption or delay could adversely affect our business, prevent us from delivering products to our customers within required timeframes, and could in turn result in sales and installation delays, cancellations, penalty payments, or loss of market share.

In connection with the Spin-Off, we entered into a supply agreement pursuant to which Maxeon Solar will exclusively supply us with certain products (the “Supply Agreement”), including solar cells and panels, for use in residential and commercial solar applications in the Domestic Territory (as defined in the Supply Agreement). The Supply Agreement has a two-year term, subject to customary early termination provisions triggered by a breach of the other party (with or without the right to cure depending on the breach) and insolvency events affecting the other party. Under the Supply Agreement, we are required to purchase, and Maxeon Solar is required to supply, certain minimum volumes of products during each calendar quarter of the term. The Supply Agreement also includes reciprocal exclusivity provisions that, subject to certain exceptions, will prohibit us from purchasing the products (or competing products) from anyone other than Maxeon Solar for the Domestic Territory. For products designated for installation on a residence or by a third party for the exclusive use of a specific customer, the exclusivity provisions will last until August 26, 2022 (or the entire initial term). For products procured for direct installation by SunPower and including applications where solar panels are installed for the benefit and use of multiple customers, such as community solar projects, the exclusivity provisions terminated on June 30, 2021. The exclusivity provisions do not apply to off-grid applications, certain portable or mobile small-scale applications (including applications where solar cells are integrated into consumer products), or power plant, front-of-the-meter applications where the electricity generated is sold to a utility or other reseller. Because Maxeon Solar is our sole supplier of such critical products, any delay or failure of Maxeon Solar to supply the necessary products, or supply such products in a manner that meets our quality and quantity requirements, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition.

To the extent the processes and technologies that our suppliers, including Maxeon Solar, use to manufacture components are proprietary, we may be unable to obtain comparable components from alternative suppliers, and the exclusivity provisions of the supply agreement may prevent us from seeking alternative suppliers except in certain very limited circumstances. In addition, the financial markets could limit our suppliers’ ability to raise capital if required to expand their production or satisfy their operating capital requirements. As a result, they could be unable to supply necessary products, raw materials, inventory, and capital equipment which we would require to support our planned sales operations to us, which would in turn negatively impact our sales volume, profitability, and cash flows. The failure of a supplier to supply raw materials or components in a timely manner, or to supply raw materials or components that meet our quality, quantity, and cost requirements, could impair our ability to manufacture our products or could increase our cost of production. If we cannot obtain substitute materials or components on a timely basis or on acceptable terms, we could be prevented from delivering our products to our customers within required time frames.

In addition, our supply chain is subject to natural disasters and other events beyond our control, such as raw material, component, and labor shortages, global and regional shipping and logistics constraints, work stoppages, epidemics or pandemics, including effects experienced as a result of COVID-19, earthquakes, floods, fires, volcanic eruptions, power outages, or other natural disasters, and the physical effects of climate change, including changes in weather patterns (including floods, fires, tsunamis, drought, and rainfall levels), water availability, storm patterns and intensities, and temperature levels. Human rights concerns, including forced labor and human trafficking, in foreign countries and associated governmental responses have the potential to disrupt our supply chain and our operations could be adversely impacted. For example, the U.S.

Department of Homeland Security issued a withhold release order on June 24, 2021 applicable to silica-based products made by a major producer of polysilicon used by manufacturers of solar panels in China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, over allegations of widespread, state-backed forced labor in the region. Although we do not believe that raw materials used in the products we sell are sourced from this or other regions with forced labor concerns, any delays or other supply chain disruption resulting from these concerns or any of the supply chain risks articulated above, associated governmental responses, or a desire to source products, components or materials from other manufacturers or regions could result in shipping, sales and installation delays, cancellations, penalty payments, or loss of revenue and market share, or may cause our key suppliers to seek to re-negotiate terms and pricing with us, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition.

SALE AND PURCHASE; CLOSING

Section 2.1    Purchase and Sale of Interests. In reliance upon the representations and warranties contained herein, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at the Closing each Seller shall sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to AcquisitionCo the Interests owned by such Seller, and Purchaser shall purchase from each Seller the Interests owned by such Seller.

Section 2.2    Purchase Price; Closing Payments. In consideration of the sale of the Interests to Purchaser, on the Closing Date, Purchaser shall pay the following:

(a)    pay or deliver (or cause to be paid or delivered) to Sellers the Estimated Closing Cash Payment (as defined below) less the Adjusted Closing Escrow Amount (the “Closing Cash Payment”), by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wiring instructions provided by Sellers at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date. The Closing Cash Payment shall be allocated among Sellers and Transaction Expenses shall be paid as set forth in the Funds Flow Memorandum attached hereto as Exhibit H (the “Funds Flow Memorandum”);

(b)    deposit (or cause to be deposited) the Adjusted Closing Escrow Amount with the Escrow Agent to be held in escrow in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement; and

(c)    pay or deliver (or cause to be paid or delivered) all Transaction Expenses, to be paid by Purchaser as specified in the Estimated Closing Statement.

Section 2.3    Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) will take place at the offices of Bennett Tueller Johnson & Deere in Salt Lake City, Utah or at such other location (or virtually through electronic transfer) as the parties hereto may agree on the date of this Agreement (the “Closing Date”) simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement. The Closing shall be deemed to have occurred at 12:01 a.m. Mountain Time on the Closing Date (the “Reference Time”).

Section 2.4    Initial Cash Payment Adjustment.

(a)    Seller Representative shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser an estimated closing statement of the Company as of the Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Statement”), which Estimated Closing Statement sets forth Principal Sellers’ good faith calculation, together with all schedules and data as may be appropriate to support such calculation of its good faith estimate of: (i) the Closing Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”), prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles and in the same manner as was used to prepare the illustrative calculation set forth thereon, and (ii) the Transaction Expenses to be paid by Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.2(c) or unpaid by the Company prior to or at the Closing (the “Estimated Transaction Expenses”); and, based on such estimates, a calculation of the Initial Cash Payment (the “Estimated Closing Cash Payment”).

(b)    No later than sixty (60) days following the Closing Date, Purchaser will prepare and deliver, or cause to be prepared and delivered, to Seller Representative a statement (the “Closing Statement”) showing, in reasonable detail, its good faith calculation of: (i) the actual Closing Net Working Capital, prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles, and (ii) actual Transaction Expenses.

(c)    Following receipt of the Closing Statement, Seller Representative and his accountants will be afforded a period of thirty (30) days to review the Closing Statement and related calculations of the items set forth therein (the “Review Period”). Purchaser will provide Seller Representative and his accountants reasonable access, at reasonable times during normal business hours and following reasonable notice to Purchaser, to all books, records, work papers, written procedures and applicable personnel used to prepare the Closing Statement to the extent reasonably necessary to enable Seller Representative to conduct a sufficient review of the Closing Statement and verify Purchaser’s calculations of the items set forth on the Closing Statement.

(d)    If Seller Representative disagrees with Purchaser’s calculation of any items set forth in the Closing Statement, Seller Representative may, within the Review Period, deliver a written notice (the “Dispute Notice”) to Purchaser providing reasonable detail of the reason for any disagreement, and setting forth Seller Representative’s calculation of such amount. If no Dispute Notice is received by Purchaser on or prior to the expiration of the Review Period, then the Closing Statement (and the items set forth therein) as originally delivered by Purchaser will be deemed to have been accepted by Seller Representative and will become final and binding upon the Parties.

(e)    If a Dispute Notice has been properly and timely delivered pursuant to Section 2.4(d), Seller Representative and Purchaser will, during the thirty (30) calendar days following such delivery, use their commercially reasonable efforts to reach an agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to resolve any disputed items in the Dispute Notice. If during such period, Seller Representative and Purchaser are unable to reach such an agreement, they will promptly thereafter cause a nationally recognized, mutually acceptable third-party accounting firm (the “Independent Accountant”) to review the relevant portions of this Agreement and the disputed items or amounts set forth in the Dispute Notice. Such calculation will be made by the Independent Accountant in accordance with this Agreement. The Independent Accountant will deliver to Seller Representative and Purchaser, as promptly as practicable (and Seller Representative and Purchaser will use their respective reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Accountant to deliver such report no later than thirty (30) calendar days from the date of engagement of the Independent Accountant), a report setting forth its calculation of the items in dispute;
provided that the Independent Accountant may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either Party. Such report will be final and binding upon the Parties, absent manifest error. The cost of any such review and report by the Independent Accountant will be paid on a proportionate basis by Seller Representative, on the one hand, and Purchaser on the other hand, based on the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to such Party bears to the amount contested by such Party, as finally determined by the Independent Accountant.

(f)    If, after the final determination of all of the items set forth in the Closing Statement pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.4, the actual Closing Cash Payment calculated using the actual Closing Net Working Capital and the actual Transaction Expenses as so finally determined is less than the Estimated Closing Cash Payment (the amount equal to such difference, the “Shortfall”), Purchaser shall be entitled to a payment from the Escrow Account in an amount equal to the Shortfall. Purchaser and Seller Representative shall promptly execute joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to pay such amount to Purchaser out of the Escrow Account and to release the remainder of the funds held in the Escrow Account, if any, to Sellers in accordance with their respective pro rata share as set forth in the Funds Flow Memorandum pursuant to the joint written instructions. To the extent the Shortfall is in excess of the funds held in the Escrow Account, Principal Sellers, in accordance with their respective pro rata shares as set forth in the Funds Flow Memorandum, shall promptly pay the difference to Purchaser in immediately available funds to an account designated by Purchaser at such time. If, after the final determination pursuant to the foregoing, the actual Closing Cash Payment calculated using the actual Closing Net Working Capital and actual Transaction Expenses as so finally determined is greater than or equal to the Estimated Closing Cash Payment (the amount equal to such difference, the “Excess”), (i) Purchaser and Seller Representative shall promptly execute joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release the entire Adjustment Escrow Amount to Sellers in accordance with their respective pro rata shares as set forth in the Funds Flow Memorandum and (ii) Purchaser shall promptly pay the Excess to Sellers in immediately available funds in accordance with their respective pro rata shares as set forth in the Funds Flow Memorandum. Any amounts paid to any Party pursuant to this Section 2.4(f) will be deemed adjustments to the Purchase Price.

(g)    Any payment pursuant to this Section 2.4 will be made as soon as practicable, but in no event more than five (5) Business Days after the amounts in respect of such payments have been finally determined.

Section 2.5    Deferred Service Provider Payments; Contingent Purchase Consideration; 2022 Contingent Payment. In addition to the Closing Cash Payment, Purchaser agrees to pay the Deferred Service Provider Payments, the Contingent Purchase Consideration, and the 2022 Contingent Payment in accordance with this Section 2.5, as follows:

(a)    Deferred Service Provider Payments. Purchaser shall pay to Blue Raven and Blue Raven shall pay or cause to be paid the Deferred Service Provider Payments to each individual entitled to payment thereof in the amounts, on the dates and subject to the terms set forth in the respective Retention Bonus Agreements. In the event that any such individual is no longer providing services to Blue Raven such individual shall forfeit the right to receive any payments that otherwise would have been made subsequent to the date such individual ceased being employed by Blue Raven. All such forfeited amounts shall be owed to Sellers (and treated as part of the Purchase Price) and paid by Blue Raven on behalf of Purchaser (with funds provided by Purchaser) to Sellers Representative (for distribution to Sellers in their respective pro rata shares as set forth in the Funds Flow Memorandum) within five (5) days after the date such amounts would have otherwise been payable to such individuals, if any. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser agrees that Blue Raven may accelerate payment of the Deferred Service Provider Payments to one or more individuals upon the prior written approval of Purchaser.

(b)    Contingent Purchase Consideration. Purchaser shall pay to The Skein Trust, The Gosling Trust, and Michael Rands, respectively, the Contingent Purchase Consideration subject to the terms set forth on Exhibit E. Interest shall accrue at a rate of eight and one-half percent (8.5%) per annum on the unpaid amount of the Contingent Purchase Consideration until the full amount of the Contingent Purchase Consideration has been paid to The Skein Trust, The Gosling Trust, and Michael Rands, respectively. Interest shall begin to accrue on the Closing Date, subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.5(b). If the full amount of the Contingent Purchase Consideration is not paid on or before the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date, default interest shall accrue on the unpaid amount of the Contingent Purchase Consideration at a rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum and shall compound on the first day of each month beginning immediately after the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date until the full amount of the Contingent Purchase Consideration has been paid in full in accordance herewith. Payments of the Contingent Purchase Consideration will be applied first to accrued and unpaid interest and second to the amount of the unpaid Contingent Purchase Consideration. Subject to Section 2.5(d), in the event that the employment of any such executive by Blue Raven ends on or prior to the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date, such executive shall forfeit any payments (including any accrued, but unpaid interest) that otherwise would be made on or subsequent to the date such executive ceased being employed by Blue Raven and such payment shall be retained by Purchaser.

(c)    2022 Contingent Payment.

(i)    Purchaser shall pay, and Sellers shall be entitled to receive, an additional cash payment of up to $20,000,000 (the “2022 Contingent Payment”) based on Blue Raven’s revenue for the period beginning on September 13, 2021 and ending June 19, 2022 (the “Contingent Payment Period”). The 2022 Contingent Payment will increase linearly from $0 up to a maximum of $20,000,000 upon Blue Raven’s achievement of a minimum of 75% of the aggregate revenue amount set forth on Schedule 2.5(c) for the Contingent Payment Period in the same manner as the illustrative calculation set forth on Schedule 2.5(c). Not later than July 31, 2022, Purchaser will deliver a report (the “Revenue Statement”) to the Seller Representative of the revenue of Blue Raven during the Contingent Payment Period, including a calculation of the 2022 Contingent Payment (or a calculation that the 2022 Contingent Payment is not due) prepared in accordance with Blue Raven’s historical accounting policies and practices as described in the Accounting Principles. The Parties shall use the same procedures set forth in Section 2.4(c) through (g) to review and finalize the calculations set forth in the Revenue Statement. Purchaser shall pay to the Sellers Representative (for distribution to Sellers in their respective pro rata shares as set forth in the Funds Flow Memorandum) an amount equal to the difference of (i) the 2022 Contingent Payment minus (ii) the amount of the 2022 Contingent Payment allocated to employees and service providers pursuant to the Retention Bonus Agreements (the “Sellers 2022 Contingent Payment Amount”) within two (2) Business Days following the final determination of the amount of the 2022 Contingent Payment in accordance with this Section 2.5.

(ii)    It is expressly acknowledged and understood by the Parties that the inclusion of the 2022 Contingent Payment as part of this Agreement is a principal term hereof and the opportunity to achieve the same constitutes substantial consideration for Sellers’ willingness to execute this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated herein. In light of the foregoing, during the Contingent Payment Period, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to operate Blue Raven in good faith and in the Ordinary Course, in compliance with applicable laws and in accordance with Purchaser’s reasonable business judgment; provided, that during the Contingent Payment Period, so long as he remains employed by Blue Raven or SunPower or any of their Affiliates, Ben shall operate the Company’s business in the Ordinary Course and in accordance with applicable Law. Sellers acknowledge and agree that after the Closing, Purchaser shall have discretion with regard to matters relating to the operation of Blue Raven and its business, including, but not limited to, the changes set forth on Schedule 2.5(c)(ii); provided, that Purchaser shall not act in an arbitrary or commercially unreasonable manner with respect to Blue Raven’s business if any such action would be reasonably likely to materially and adversely interfere with the achievement of the full amount of the 2022 Contingent Payment. For purposes of calculating the 2022 Contingent Payment, Purchaser shall maintain separate books and records and have a separate statement of revenue for Blue Raven. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if as a direct result of actions outside the ordinary course of business taken by Purchaser the 2022 Contingent Payment is reduced or avoided, the Purchaser and Sellers agree to negotiate in good faith potential adjustments to the calculation of the 2022 Contingent Payment.

(d)    Acceleration.

(i)    Without limiting the foregoing in this Section 2.5 and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the maximum 2022 Contingent Payment of $20,000,000 shall be accelerated upon any of the following events: (A) the consummation of a Change in Control of SunPower or Blue Raven (or the subsidiary or division of SunPower that operates Blue Raven’s business following the Closing) during the Contingent Payment Period (other than the Change in Control of Blue Raven pursuant to this Agreement); or (B) the termination by SunPower or Blue Raven of Ben’s employment with SunPower or Blue Raven without Cause or by Ben for Good Reason. Within five (5) Business Days following the effectiveness of either of such events, (1) SunPower shall pay Sellers’ 2022 Contingent Payment Amount to Sellers Representative (for distribution to Sellers in their respective pro rata shares as set forth in the Funds Flow Memorandum) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by Sellers Representative, and (2) Purchaser shall cause Blue Raven to deliver the amount of the Deferred Service Provider Payments that are part of the 2022 Contingent Payment to each individual entitled to payment thereof and, with respect to any forfeited amounts, to Sellers Representative (for distribution to Sellers in their respective pro rata shares as set forth in the Funds Flow Memorandum).

(ii)    Without limiting the foregoing in this Section 2.5 and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all of the Deferred Service Provider Payments shall be accelerated upon the consummation of a Change in Control of SunPower or Blue Raven (or the subsidiary or division of SunPower that operates Blue Raven’s business following the Closing) during the period beginning on the Closing and ending on the date on which the Deferred Service Provider Payments would be otherwise due and payable (other than the Change in Control of Blue Raven pursuant to this Agreement). Within five (5) Business Day following the effectiveness of such event, SunPower shall cause Blue Raven to deliver the Deferred Service Provider Payments to each individual entitled to payment thereof and, with respect to any forfeited amounts,
to Sellers Representative (for distribution to Sellers in their respective pro rata shares as set forth in the Funds Flow Memorandum).

Within five (5) Business Days following the effectiveness of such event, Purchaser shall deliver the Contingent Purchase Consideration to each of The Skein Trust, The Gosling Trust, and Michael Rands by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts designated in writing by The Skein Trust, The Gosling Trust, and Michael Rands, respectively.

(iv)    Without limiting the foregoing in this Section 2.5 and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Contingent Purchase Consideration owed to The Skein Trust and The Gosling Trust shall be accelerated upon the termination by the board of directors (or similar governing body) of Purchaser or Blue Raven of Ben’s employment with Purchaser or Blue Raven without Cause or by Ben for Good Reason. Within five (5) Business Days following the effectiveness of such event, Purchaser shall deliver the applicable Contingent Purchase Consideration to each of The Skein Trust and The Gosling Trust by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in writing by The Skein Trust and The Gosling Trust, respectively.

(v)    Without limiting the foregoing in this Section 2.5 and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Contingent Purchase Consideration owed to Michael Rands shall be accelerated upon the termination by the board of directors (or similar governing body) of Purchaser or Blue Raven of Michael Rands’ employment with Purchaser or Blue Raven without Cause or by Michael Rands for Good Reason. Within five (5) Business Days following the effectiveness of such event, Purchaser shall deliver the applicable Contingent Purchase Consideration to Michael Rands by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in writing by Michael Rands.

(vi)    Without limiting the foregoing in this Section 2.5(d), Sellers expressly confirm and agree that nothing herein shall give Sellers any rights to prevent a Change in Control of Purchaser, any Affiliate of Purchaser (including Blue Raven) or any third Person.

Section 2.6    Withholding. As between Purchaser and Sellers, Purchaser agrees to pay the employer portion of payroll taxes associated with the Deferred Service Provider Payments made to individuals (that are not Sellers) pursuant to Retention Bonus Agreements. Purchaser acknowledges that it does not intend, based on applicable legal requirements as of the date of this Agreement, to withhold any amounts required to be deducted and withheld under the Code, or any provision of any U.S. federal, state, local or foreign Tax Law, from any consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement other than the Deferred Service Provider Payments made to individuals (that are not Sellers) pursuant to Retention Bonus Agreements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Purchase Price payable hereunder, or other payment otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement, the amounts required to be deducted and withheld under the Code, or any provision of any U.S. federal, state, local or foreign Tax Law. Any amounts so withheld shall be paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld, such deducted and withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to Sellers, employees and/or executives, as applicable. Except as described above with respect to the Deferred Service Provider Payments, if Purchaser becomes aware of any withholding requirement which shall become applicable to any payment of consideration hereunder, it shall promptly give notice of the same to Seller Representative.

Purchaser has no reason to believe that such cash shall not be available or that the debt under such credit facilities shall not be funded. In no event shall the receipt by, or the availability of any funds or financing to, Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or any other financing be a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder.

CERTAIN COVENANTS

Section 6.1    Further Assurances. Following the Closing, as and when requested by any Party to this Agreement, the other Parties 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 the requesting Party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6.2    Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.

(a)    Each Principal Seller on behalf of itself and its Affiliates covenants and agrees that for a period of three (3) years from and after the Closing, such Principal Seller will not and will cause its Affiliates not to, alone or in association with any other Person, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, control, participate in, provide advice or services to, invest in, or carry on a business which engages in the Business or a portion of the Business anywhere in the United States. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else herein to the contrary, each Principal Seller and its Affiliates may (i)
hold less than three percent (3%) of the outstanding voting stock of a publicly traded company engaged in the Business, (ii) own a passive equity interest representing less than thirty-five percent (35%) of a private debt or equity investment fund in which such Principal Seller does not have the ability to control or exercise any managerial influence of such fund; (iii) serve on a governing board of, or otherwise act an advisory capacity to, any Person who does not engage in the Business; and (iv) engage in any other activity that would otherwise be prohibited under this Section 6.2(a) for which Purchaser provides prior written consent. For purposes of this Section 6.2(a), Principal Sellers shall not be considered Affiliates of each other. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else herein to the contrary, this Section 6.2(a) shall not apply to any portfolio company or other business in which Peterson Partners has a debt, equity or other economic interest, so long as such portfolio company or other business does not consult with or take direction from Peterson Partners VII, L.P., or any of its employees, officers, directors, managers or general partners with respect to any of the abovementioned prohibited forms of participation in a business which engages in the Business or a portion of the Business.

(b)    Each Principal Seller covenants and agrees that for a period of three (3) years from and after the Closing, such Principal Seller will not, whether for its own account or for the account of any Person, directly or indirectly, solicit, offer employment to or hire any individual that is employed by the Company on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else herein to the contrary, (i) each Principal Seller may solicit, offer employment to or hire any such individual (A) through public advertising or general solicitations (including via print, broadcast media or Internet postings) that are not specifically targeted at employees of the Company, or (B) who voluntarily, on her or her own initiative, seeks employment or contracted engagement with such Principal Seller without solicitation by such Principal Seller (except as permitted herein); provided that, such individual was not employed by the Company during the three (3) months preceding their employment under clause (B); and (ii) this Section 6.2(b) shall not apply to the hiring or solicitation of any individual that is employed by the Company on the Closing Date by any portfolio company or other business in which Peterson Partners has a debt, equity or other economic interest, so long as such portfolio company or other business does not consult with or take direction from Peterson Partners VII, L.P., or any of its employees, officers, directors, managers or general partners with respect to such hiring or solicitation.

(c)    Each Principal Seller covenants and agrees that for a period of three (3) years from and after the Closing, such Principal Seller will not, whether for its own account or for the account of any Person, directly or indirectly, induce or attempt to induce any Person that is a customer or supplier of a Company on the Closing Date to cease doing business, reduce the volume of its business or otherwise change its relationship with the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else herein to the contrary, this Section 6.2(c) shall not apply to the solicitation of any customer or supplier by any portfolio company or other business in which Peterson Partners has a debt, equity or other economic interest, so long as such portfolio company or other business does not consult with or take direction from Peterson Partners VII, L.P., or any of its employees, officers, directors, managers or general partners with respect to such inducement or solicitation.

(d)    Each Principal Seller acknowledges and agrees that the remedy at law for any breach, or threatened breach, of any of the covenants contained in this Section 6.2 would be inadequate and, accordingly, such Principal Seller agrees that Purchaser will, in addition to any other rights and remedies which Purchaser may have at law, be entitled to seek equitable relief, including injunctive relief, and to the remedy of specific performance with respect to any breach or threatened breach of any such covenant, as may be available from any court of competent jurisdiction. In addition, such Principal Seller agrees that the terms of the covenants contained in this Section 6.2 are fair, reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Purchaser and constitute a material inducement to Purchaser to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event that any of the covenants contained in this Section 6.2 are determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, then such covenant will not be deemed void, and the Parties agree that the scope of such covenant may be modified by the court and that such covenant will be amended in accordance with such modification, it being specifically agreed by the Parties that it is their continuing desire that each covenant contained in this Section 6.2 be enforced to the full extent of its terms and conditions or if a court finds the scope of such covenant unenforceable, the court should redefine such covenant so as to comply with applicable Law.

Section 6.3    Confidentiality. Each Principal Seller covenants and agrees that for a period of three (3) years from and after the Closing, such Principal Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates, agents and other representatives not to, directly or indirectly, disclose, divulge or make use of any Confidential Information related to the business of the Company except (a) to the extent required by Law or legal process (but only after such Principal Seller has provided Purchaser with reasonable notice and opportunity to take action against any legally required disclosure), (b) in connection with such Principal Seller’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement, the enforcement or exercise of such Principal Seller’s rights hereunder or the fulfillment of such Principal Seller’s obligations under this Agreement, (c) to the extent such Principal Seller or any Affiliate of such Principal Seller determines that such use or disclosure is reasonably necessary for the defense of any Legal Proceeding against such Principal Seller or any Affiliate of such Principal Seller, including in connection with challenging or
defending any claim for indemnification under this Agreement, and (d) to the extent required by accounting requirements, including in connection with any accounting, audit, Tax or regulatory compliance of such Principal Seller or any Affiliate thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the Closing, Peterson Partners will be allowed to disclose the principal terms of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of Purchaser to Peterson Partners’ agents, advisors, attorneys, consultants, auditors, limited partners, general partners, financing sources, potential investors, and any Peterson Representative so long as such persons have entered into a confidentiality agreement containing terms similar to this Section 6.3 or are subject to a similar obligation or duty; provided that Peterson Partners may disclose the acquisition of the Company by Purchaser, the Purchase Price, and other principal terms of this Agreement customarily included in investment teasers and similar investment marketing materials to any of the foregoing Persons without such Persons having entered into a confidentiality agreement containing terms similar to this Section 6.3 or being subject to a similar obligation or duty, provided, however, that such terms must have been publicly disclosed in SunPower’s public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Section 6.4    Indemnification of Officers and Managers. From the Closing until the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Closing Date, all rights to indemnification by the Company existing in favor of those Persons who were immediately prior to Closing, or at any time prior to the Closing Date, managers or officers of the Company (the “D&O Indemnified Persons”) for their acts and omissions occurring prior to the Closing, as provided in the Organizational Documents of the Company, as applicable, shall be observed by the Company, as applicable, to the fullest extent available pursuant to the Organizational Documents of the Company under applicable Law, and any claim made requesting indemnification pursuant to such indemnification rights shall continue to be subject to this Section 6.4 until disposition of such claim; provided, however, that no Principal Seller shall be entitled to any such indemnification in connection with any claim arising from or relating to the same facts and circumstances giving rise to a claim by Purchaser under Article 9. The provisions of this Section 6.4 are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable in accordance with their terms by, each of the D&O Indemnified Persons and their successors, assigns and heirs.

Section 6.5    Efforts and Cooperation Regarding Competition Law Filings.

(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions herein provided, if not made prior to the Closing, each of Purchaser and Principal Sellers will use, and Principal Sellers shall cause the Company to use, their respective commercially reasonable efforts and will cooperate fully with one another to comply as promptly as practicable with all governmental requirements applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to obtain promptly all approvals, orders, permits or other consents of any applicable Competition Authorities necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any notifications and expiration or termination of any waiting periods under the HSR Act and the satisfaction, but not the waiver, of the closing conditions set forth in Sections 8.1(d) and (e) and 8.2(d) and (e). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Purchaser and Principal Sellers shall use, and Principal Sellers shall cause the Company to use, commercially reasonable efforts to obtain consents of all Competition Authorities necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b)    Each Party shall cooperate and promptly provide information to other Parties necessary to prepare filings and make appropriate filings, if necessary, pursuant to the Competition Laws with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall supply as promptly as practicable to the appropriate Competition Authorities any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act or other Competition Laws.

(c)    Each Party shall keep the other Parties reasonably informed with respect to the status of any such submissions and filings to such Competition Authorities and reasonably cooperate with each other, including with respect to: (A) the receipt of any non-action, action, clearance, consent, approval or waiver; (B) the expiration or termination of any waiting period; (C) the utilization of any pull and refiling procedure; (D) communications and meetings with Competition Authorities; (E) any timing agreement with any Competition Authority; (F) the commencement or proposed or threatened commencement of any investigation, litigation or administrative or judicial action or Legal Proceeding under the Competition Laws or other applicable Laws; and (G) the nature and status of any objections raised or proposed or threatened to be raised under the Competition Laws or other applicable Laws with respect to the transactions contemplated under this Agreement.

(d)    Purchaser and Principal Sellers shall, subject to applicable Law relating to the exchange of information, do the following: (i) promptly notify the other Parties of (and if in writing, furnish the other Parties with copies of) any request, inquiry, objection, charge or other claim, actual or threatened, or other communication to such person from a third-person or any Competition Authority, including, without limitation, the Federal Trade Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice, regarding the filings and submissions described in this Section 6.5, or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and, to the extent reasonably feasible permit the others to review and discuss in advance (and to consider in good faith any comments made by the others in relation to) any proposed substantive written response to any communication
from a Competition Authority regarding the filings and submissions described in this Section 6.5; (ii) keep the other Parties reasonably informed of any developments, meetings or discussions with any Competition Authority in respect of any filings, investigation or inquiry concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, the status of any request,inquiry, objection, or other claim by the Federal Trade Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice; and (iii) not independently participate in any meeting or discussions with a Competition Authority in respect of any filings, investigation or inquiry concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without giving the other Parties prior notice of such meeting or discussions and, unless prohibited by such Competition Authority, the opportunity to attend or participate; provided, that the Parties shall be permitted to reasonably redact any correspondence, filing, submission or communication to the extent such correspondence, filing, submission or communication contains competitively or commercially sensitive information, including information relating to the valuation of the transactions, and, provided that all such sensitive information and documents pertinent to any competitive review, investigation or Legal Proceeding is provided to antitrust counsel for Purchaser, which may be designated as limited for “Outside Counsel Only” to the extent it includes competitively sensitive information.

(e)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 6.5 or otherwise in this Agreement including exercise of reasonable best efforts or any commercially reasonable efforts shall require any Party to propose, negotiate, effect or agree to, the sale, divestiture, license or other disposition of any assets or businesses of such Party or of the Company or any Affiliate of either, or otherwise take any action that limits the freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain any of the businesses, product lines or assets of such Party or the Company or any Affiliate of either.

(f)    In the event any claim, action, suit, investigation or other Legal Proceeding by any Competition Authority or other Person is commenced which questions the validity or legality of the transactions contemplated hereby or seeks damages in connection therewith, the Parties, at the expense of Purchaser, agree to cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to defend against such claim, action, suit, investigation or other Legal Proceeding and, if an injunction or other order is issued in any such action, suit or other Legal Proceeding, to use commercially reasonable efforts to have such injunction or other order lifted, and to cooperate reasonably regarding any other impediment to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. Purchaser, at its expense, shall be entitled to direct the antitrust defense of transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or negotiations with, any Competition Authority or other third party relating to the transactions or regulatory filings under applicable Competition Laws, subject to the provisions of this Section 6.5. No Party shall make any offer, acceptance or counter-offer to or otherwise engage in negotiations or discussions with any Competition Authority with respect to any proposed settlement, consent decree, commitment or remedy, or, in the event of litigation, discovery, admissibility of evidence, timing or scheduling, except as Purchaser and Principal Sellers mutually agree.

ARTICLE 7
CERTAIN TAX MATTERS

Section 7.1    Consistent Tax Reporting. The Parties agree that unless otherwise required by applicable Law, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the purchase and sale of the Interests shall be treated, from the perspective of the Sellers, as a sale of partnership interests and, from Purchaser’s perspective, as an asset acquisition, as provided for in Situation 1 of IRS Revenue Ruling 99-6, 1999-1 C.B. 432. The Parties further agree to (a) report the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in all respects consistently with this Section 7.1 and the other provisions of this Agreement for purposes of any federal, state, local or foreign Tax Return and (b) not take any actions or positions inconsistent with the obligations of the Parties set forth herein. The Parties also agree (x) that the Contingent Purchase Consideration paid (or to be paid) to The Skein Trust, The Gosling Trust, and Michael Rands constitutes a portion of the purchase consideration payable to them (in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) in exchange for their Interests and not as compensation for services, (y) that the forfeited Deferred Service Provider Payments that are paid (or to be paid) to the Sellers pursuant to Section 2.5(a) constitute a portion of the purchase consideration payable to them (in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) in exchange for their Interests and not as compensation for services, and (z) to report any and all payments of the Contingent Purchase Consideration and forfeited Deferred Service Provider Payments paid to Sellers as part of the Purchase Price and that Purchaser will not deduct or otherwise treat such payments as compensation.

Section 7.2    Returns; Payment of Taxes.

(a)    Principal Sellers shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, in accordance with past practice, all Returns of Sellers and the Company that are required to be filed before the Closing Date and pay or cause to be paid any Taxes due in respect of such Returns.

(b)    Purchaser shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all Returns of Blue Raven and its subsidiaries that are required to be filed after the Closing Date and timely remit any Taxes shown to be due on such Returns to the applicable Taxing Authorities, subject to Principal Sellers’ obligation to pay Purchaser the Seller Tax
Obligations, if any. Before filing any income Tax Return with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period (a “Purchaser Return”), Purchaser shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Seller Representative for review and comment, at least forty-five (45) days prior to the due date thereof (giving effect to any extensions thereto) a completed copy of such Purchaser Return along with a statement (the “Tax Statement”) identifying and summarizing the methodology used to calculate the amount of Seller Tax Obligations. If Seller Representative agrees with such Purchaser Return and the Tax Statement, then Seller Representative shall so notify Purchaser and Principal Sellers shall pay to (or as directed by) Purchaser the amount of Taxes shown on the Tax Statement as being Seller Tax Obligations, and such payments shall be made in each case no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the due date for paying such Taxes to the relevant Taxing Authority. If, however, within twenty (20) days after receipt of a Purchaser Return and Tax Statement, Seller Representative (i) notifies Purchaser that it disputes the accuracy of the Purchaser Return or amount of Taxes shown on the Tax Statement as being Seller Tax Obligations and (ii) provides Purchaser with a statement setting forth in reasonable detail its computation of the amount of Taxes that should be Seller Tax Obligations and/or any errors in such Purchaser Return, then Purchaser and Seller Representative shall attempt to resolve their disagreement within five (5) days following Seller Representative’s notification of Purchaser of such disagreement. If Purchaser and Seller Representative are not able to resolve their disagreement, the dispute shall be submitted to the Independent Accountant for resolution in accordance with the principles of Section 2.4(e). If the Independent Accountant is unable to resolve all objections before the due date for filing such Purchaser Tax Return, the Tax Return shall be filed as initially prepared by Purchaser and then amended, if necessary, to reflect the decision of the Independent Accountant. The determination of the Independent Accountant shall be binding on the Parties. The cost of the services of the Independent Accountant will be shared equally by Principal Sellers, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Principal Sellers shall not be required to pay Seller Tax Obligations or any other Taxes pursuant to this Section 7.2(b) to the extent that such Seller Tax Obligations or other Taxes are taken into account in the final determination of the Closing Net Working Capital and result in a reduction to the final Purchase Price.

Section 7.3    Straddle Period Allocation; Refunds.

(a)    In the case of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a Straddle Period, the portion of such Tax that relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall (a) in the case of any property or ad valorem Taxes, 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 the entire taxable period, and (b) in the case of any other Taxes, be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant taxable period ended on the Closing Date; provided, however, that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be allocated between the period ending on the Closing Date and the period after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each such period. Any credits relating to a Straddle Period shall be allocated on a basis consistent with the allocations made pursuant to the preceding sentence.

(b)    Except to the extent taken into account in the final determination of the Closing Net Working Capital, Principal Sellers are entitled to receive any Tax refunds for Pre-Closing Tax Periods. Purchaser shall promptly deliver to Seller Representative the amount of any refund it receives to which Principal Sellers are entitled hereunder, without interest (other than interest received from the applicable Taxing Authority), net of reasonable expenses (including Taxes) with respect thereto or incurred in connection therewith.

Section 7.4    Allocation of Purchase Price. Purchaser shall prepare an allocation of the Final Purchase Price and liabilities that are amounts realized for U.S. federal income tax purposes among the assets of Blue Raven and its subsidiaries in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (and any similar provisions of state, local or non-U.S. Law, as appropriate), which allocation shall made in accordance with the allocation set forth in Schedule 7.4 and be binding on Purchaser, Sellers, and Blue Raven and its subsidiaries. Purchaser shall deliver such allocation to Sellers Representative within ninety (90) days after the Closing for review. The Principal Sellers shall have ten (10) days from receipt of Purchaser’s allocation to notify Purchaser of an objection thereto. If the Principal Sellers timely object to such allocation and Purchaser agrees, Purchaser shall change such allocation and notify the Sellers Representative thereof. If the Parties fail to resolve a timely objection, they shall submit the dispute to the Independent Accountant in accordance with the principles of Section 2.4(e). Purchaser, Sellers, and Blue Raven and its subsidiaries agree to make all appropriate Tax filings on a basis consistent with the agreed allocation and to provide a draft of any required information Return to the other Parties, if requested, at least ten (10) days prior to the filing of any such Return. None of Sellers, Purchaser, or Blue Raven or its subsidiaries shall take any position (whether in audits, Tax Returns or otherwise) that is inconsistent with such allocation unless required to do so by applicable Law. The Parties shall timely file any required IRS Forms 8594 in a manner consistent with such asset allocation.

Section 7.5    Cooperation on Tax Matters. Purchaser and Sellers shall cooperate fully, to the extent reasonably requested by the other Parties, in connection with the filing of Returns and any audit or Legal Proceeding with respect to Taxes.
Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon another Party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such Return filing, audit, litigation, or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. After the Closing, Purchaser shall make available to Sellers all of the books and records of Blue Raven and its subsidiaries to the extent reasonably necessary for Seller’s filing of Returns pursuant to Section 7.2(a) or for any other reasonable purpose related to Seller’s ownership of Blue Raven and its subsidiaries prior to the Closing.

Section 7.6    Control of Audits. After the Closing Date, except as set forth in the next sentence, Purchaser shall control the conduct, through counsel of its own choosing, of any audit, claim for refund, or administrative or judicial proceeding involving any asserted Tax liability or refund with respect to Blue Raven and its subsidiaries (each, a “Contest”), but Seller Representative shall have the right to participate in such Contest with respect to any Straddle Period at Principal Sellers’ expense, and Purchaser shall not settle, compromise and/or concede any portion of such Contest that could materially affect the Tax liability of Principal Sellers for any Straddle Period without the written consent of Seller Representative (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In the case of a Contest after the Closing Date that relates solely to Pre-Closing Tax Periods, Seller Representative, at Principal Sellers’ expense, shall control the conduct of such Contest, using counsel reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser, but Purchaser shall have the right to participate in such Contest at its own expense, and Seller Representative shall not settle, compromise and/or concede any portion of such Contest that could materially affect the Tax liability of Blue Raven or its subsidiaries for any taxable year (or portion thereof) after the Closing Date without the written consent of Purchaser (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that, if Seller Representative fails to assume control of the conduct of any such Contest within thirty (30) days following the receipt by Seller Representative of notice of such Contest, Purchaser shall have the right to assume control of such Contest and shall be entitled to settle, compromise and/or concede any portion of such Contest. Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller Representative of the commencement of any audit or examination by any Taxing Authority of Blue Raven and its subsidiaries that includes a Pre-Closing Tax Period or a Straddle Period. Seller Representative shall promptly notify Purchaser if he becomes aware of the commencement of any audit or examination by any Taxing Authority of Blue Raven and its subsidiaries for any taxable period. To the extent of any conflict between this Section 7.6 and Section 9.5, this Section 7.6 shall control.

Section 7.7    Transfer Taxes; Tax Sharing Agreements.

(a)    All transfer, documentary, sales, use, real property gains, stamp, registration, and other such Taxes and fees incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by Purchaser when due, and Purchaser shall timely file or cause to be filed all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer, documentary, sales, use, real property gains, stamp, registration, and other Taxes, fees and charges, as required to be filed by it under applicable Law, and Principal Sellers will reasonably cooperate with respect thereto as necessary and, if required by applicable Law, join in the execution of any such Returns and other documentation.

(b)    Principal Sellers shall cause any Tax allocation agreement, Tax indemnity agreement, Tax sharing agreement or similar Contract between Blue Raven and any other Person to be terminated as of the Closing Date such that, from and after the Closing Date, Blue Raven shall not be obligated to make any payment pursuant to any such agreement for any Tax period.

(b)    Subject to the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE 9, from and after the Closing, each Seller, severally for itself and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless and defend each Purchaser Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses suffered or incurred by any such Purchaser Indemnified Party arising out of, relating to or resulting from:

(i)    any breach or inaccuracy of any Fundamental Representation of such Seller set forth in ARTICLE 4; or

(ii)    any breach of any of the covenants or agreements made by such Seller individually (and not collectively) in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, including breaches of Section 6.2 and Section 6.3.

Section 9.3    Indemnification of Sellers. From and after the Closing, Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless and defend Sellers and their respective shareholders, directors, members, managers, partners, employees, trustees, representatives, agents, heirs, successors, and assigns (as applicable, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses suffered or incurred by or any such Seller Indemnified Party arising out of, relating to or resulting from (i) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of Purchaser contained in ARTICLE 5 and (ii) any breach of any of the covenants or agreements of Purchaser contained in this Agreement.

Section 9.4    Certain Limitations.

(a)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the maximum liability of each Principal Seller under Section 9.2(a)(i) shall be the pro rata share of the Purchase Price (ignoring for purposes of this Section 9.4, the pro rata share of the Charitable Seller) of such Principal Seller as set forth in the Funds Flow Memorandum; provided, however, that this Section 9.4(a) shall not apply to any Losses attributable to the breach of covenants or involving fraud.

(b)    No Principal Seller shall be liable to any Purchaser Indemnified Party for (i) breach or non-performance by any other Seller (other than the Charitable Seller) of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of such other Seller (other than the Charitable Seller) set forth in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, or (ii) fraud by any other Person (in which case a claim for fraud may be asserted by any Purchaser Indemnified Party solely against the Seller (other than the Charitable Seller) who committed such fraud and no other Seller shall be liable for the fraud committed by any other Seller (other than the Charitable Seller)).

(c)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the maximum liability of the Charitable Seller under this Agreement, including this ARTICLE 9, shall be the actual proceeds received hereunder by the Charitable Seller.

(d)    For purposes of the indemnity contained in this ARTICLE 9, all qualifications and limitations set forth in the parties’ representations and warranties as to “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” and words of similar import shall be disregarded in determining whether there shall have been any inaccuracy in or breach of any representations and warranties in this Agreement and the Losses arising therefrom.

Section 9.5    Procedure for Indemnification.

(a)    If any third party notifies any Indemnified Party with respect to any matter (a “Third Party Claim”) which may give rise to a claim for indemnification against the Indemnifying Party under this ARTICLE 9, then the Indemnified Party must promptly, and in any event within thirty (30) days after receiving notice of such Third Party Claim, notify the Indemnifying Party thereof in writing; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party will relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Losses that have been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party.

(b)    The Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against the Third Party Claim with counsel of the Indemnifying Party’s choice, reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, so long as the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party, within 30 days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim to the Indemnifying Party (or, if earlier, 10 days before an answer is due in the applicable Legal Proceeding), that the Indemnifying Party is assuming the defense of such Third Party Claim and acknowledging that the Losses relating to such claim are the responsibility of the Indemnifying Party, provided, however, that, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to defend the Indemnified Party if (i) such Third Party Claim (A) seeks injunctive relief, (B) seeks other equitable relief that, if such Third Party were to prevail on such equity claims, would result in material restrictions on the operation of the business of Blue Raven and its subsidiaries, or (C) is brought by a Governmental Authority, or (ii) the Indemnified Party has been advised by counsel that there is an actual conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the indemnified Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim within the period required by this Section 9.5(b),
the Indemnified Party will have the right to undertake the defense of such Third Party Claim at the expense and for the account of the Indemnifying Party. In the event the Indemnified Party undertakes defense of such Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 9.5(b), (1) the Indemnifying Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense, (2) the Indemnified Party will not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), consent to any admission or the entry of any judgment with respect to the matter, or enter into any settlement.

(c)    So long as the conditions set forth in Section 9.5(b) are and remain satisfied, then (i) the Indemnifying Party may conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 9.5(b), (ii) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense, and (iii) the Indemnifying Party will not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), consent to any admission or the entry of any judgment with respect to the matter, or enter into any settlement which (A) imposes an injunction or other equitable relief upon the Indemnified Party, (B) does not include an unconditional provision whereby the plaintiff or claimant in the matter releases the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto, (C) includes any statement as to or an admission of fact, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates or (D) requires any monetary payment by the Indemnified Party and (iv) with respect to any Third Party Claim where indemnification is being sought under the R&W Insurance Policy, the Indemnifying Party will not, without, the prior written consent of the insurer(s) under the R&W Insurance Policy, consent to any admission or the entry of any judgment with respect to the matter, or enter into any settlement, to the extent Purchaser would be required to obtain such consent under the R&W Insurance Policy.

Section 9.6    Notice of Direct Claims. Any claim for indemnification of Losses under this ARTICLE 9 that is not a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) by an Indemnified Party will be asserted by giving prompt written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that any delay in providing, or the failure to provide such notification, will not affect the right of the Indemnified Party to indemnification hereunder except in the event that such delay or failure extends past the applicable survival expiration date set forth in Section 9.1 or to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by the delay or failure. Such notice will describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, including (to the extent practicable) copies of any written evidence thereof and will indicate the estimated amount of Losses, if reasonably determinable, that has been sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party will have until 5:00 p.m., Mountain Time, on the date that is twenty (20) days after the Direct Claim is asserted to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such twenty (20) day period, the Indemnifying Party will be deemed to have accepted such claim. If the Indemnifying Party does respond within such twenty (20) day period to reject the Direct Claim, however, the Indemnified Party will be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this ARTICLE 9.

Section 9.7    Payment of Losses. No later than ten (10) Business Days following the final determination of the amount of any Losses payable by Principal Sellers to any Purchaser Indemnified Party in accordance with this ARTICLE 9, Principal Sellers, severally and not jointly, shall pay the amount of such Losses to Purchaser (i) in accordance with their respective pro rata shares as set forth on the Funds Flow Memorandum (ignoring for purposes of this Section 9.7, the pro rata share of the Charitable Seller), in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Purchaser, or (ii) to the extent applicable, from the Escrow Account in the amounts and on the terms set forth on Schedule 9.2(a)(v). No later than ten (10) Business Days following the final determination of the amount of any Losses payable to any Seller Indemnified Party in accordance with this ARTICLE 9, Purchaser shall pay to Seller Representative, in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Seller Representative, the amount of such Losses.

Section 9.8    R&W Insurance Policy.

(a)    The Parties acknowledge that Purchaser is obtaining the R&W Insurance Policy and that the fees, costs and expenses (including any premium) associated with purchasing the R&W Insurance Policy that are required to be paid to the insurer providing the R&W Insurance Policy shall be borne and paid by Purchaser (except that the Sellers shall pay a portion of the R&W Insurance Policy by payment of the Transaction Insurance Premiums). Except with respect to Fundamental Representations and any items set forth on Schedule 9.2(a)(v), the R&W Insurance Policy is Purchaser’s sole recourse with respect to any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty in this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any certificate or instrument delivered pursuant hereto. Additionally, except as set forth in the following sentence, any retention or deductible associated with the R&W Insurance Policy shall be borne and paid solely by Purchaser. With respect to Losses indemnifiable pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i), the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall recover (i) first, from Principal Sellers, severally and not jointly in accordance with their respective pro rata shares as set forth on the Funds Flow Memorandum (ignoring for purposes of this Section 9.8, the pro rata share of the Charitable Seller), to the extent of any unpaid retention or deductible under the R&W Insurance Policy, (ii) second, from the R&W Insurance Policy and (iii) thereafter, if coverage under the R&W Insurance Policy is insufficient to satisfy such Losses, directly from Principal Sellers, severally and not jointly in
accordance with their respective pro rata shares as set forth on the Funds Flow Memorandum (ignoring for purposes of this Section 9.8, the pro rata share of the Charitable Seller); provided that the foregoing limitations shall not apply to Losses based upon or resulting from fraud.

(b)    From and after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall not (and shall cause its Affiliates to not) amend the R&W Insurance Policy in a manner which would prejudice Sellers without Seller Representative’s prior written consent.

(c)    The R&W Insurance Policy shall expressly provide that (i) the insurer(s) have no subrogation rights and may not and will not pursue any claim against Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates, as a result of any alleged breach of any representation or warranty or of the indemnification obligations of Sellers under this ARTICLE 9, other than as a result of any such breach involving fraud by a Seller; (ii) Sellers and their respective Affiliates are third party beneficiaries of the promise of the insurer(s) to not pursue claims against Sellers, except in the event of fraud pursuant to clause (i) above; and (iii) without limiting the generality of Section 9.9(b), following the Closing, Purchaser may not modify the limitations on subrogation against Sellers in the R&W Insurance Policy without Seller Representative’s express written consent.

(d)    The limitations on indemnification set forth in Section 9.9 shall not apply to restrict Purchaser’s rights under the R&W Insurance Policy, but will apply in all other cases.

(e)    Following the Closing, except for the remedies described in Section 10.11, Purchaser shall have no remedy against Principal Sellers for any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty in this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any certificate or instrument delivered pursuant hereto other than with respect to Fundamental Representations pursuant to Sections 9.2(a)(i) and 9.8(a) (provided that the foregoing will not limit or apply in any manner to Purchaser’s rights to recover from any insurer in respect of the R&W Insurance Policy for any such breach or inaccuracy under the R&W Insurance Policy).

Section 9.9    Additional Limitations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties expressly intend and agree as follows:

(a)    From and after the Closing, the indemnification provisions provided for in this ARTICLE 9 will be the exclusive remedy for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement, or obligation set forth herein or any other claims relating to the subject matter of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, except in the case of fraud (in which case a claim may be asserted by an Indemnified Party solely against the Person who committed such fraud, and no other Person) or with respect to matters for which the remedy of specific performance, injunctive relief or other non-monetary equitable remedies are available pursuant to Section 6.2 and Section 10.11. For the avoidance of doubt, any adjustments made to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.4 shall not be considered “remedies” for purposes of this Section 9.9(a) and shall not be limited by the terms of this Section 9.9(a).

(b)    The amount of any Loss subject to indemnification hereunder and recoverable against Principal Sellers will be calculated net of any insurance proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Party from any insurer on account of such Loss or from any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment (as reduced by any related retrospective or prospective increase in premiums and taking into account all costs and expenses reasonably incurred in procuring such proceeds and any Taxes paid or payable as a result of the receipt of such proceeds). The Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to seek recovery under insurance policies (including the R&W Insurance Policy and any insurance policy covering the items of special indemnification set forth in Schedule 9.2(a)(v)) or other indemnity, contribution or other similar agreements for any Losses prior to seeking recovery for such Losses from the Indemnifying Party pursuant to, and subject to the limitations of, this ARTICLE 9; except that the Indemnified Party shall not be required to seek recovery under the R&W Insurance Policy with respect to the items of special indemnification set forth in Schedule 9.2(a)(v).

(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, it is intended that the provisions of this Agreement will not result in any duplicative payment of any amount required to be paid under this Agreement (and Principal Sellers shall not be required to indemnify any Purchaser Indemnified Party in respect of any matter to the extent such matter can be shown by Principal Sellers to have been taken into account in the final computation of the Closing Net Working Capital), and this Agreement shall be construed accordingly.

(d)    Any indemnity payment made pursuant to this ARTICLE 9 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for federal, state, local provincial or foreign Tax purposes unless a contrary treatment is required under applicable Law.

Section 9.10    Liability of Charitable Seller. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, each Party acknowledges that the Charitable Seller is a public charity and agrees that the Charitable Seller is not (a) making any of the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (including those set forth in ARTICLE 3 and ARTICLE 4), other than those set forth in Section 4.2, and, in such case, solely as to the Charitable Seller and not as to any of the other Parties or (b) agreeing to any covenants set forth in this Agreement, including those set forth in ARTICLE 6 other than Section 6.1. In no event shall Purchaser, any Principal Seller, or any Purchaser Indemnified Party be entitled to bring any claims for indemnification or pursue any other recourse, at law or in equity, from or against the Charitable Seller through the terms of this Agreement or through state, federal, or local Laws, except with respect to fraud by the Charitable Seller or a breach by the Charitable Seller of its representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.2.

ARTICLE 10
MISCELLANEOUS

Section 10.1    Seller Representative.

(a)    By the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Sellers hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint Seller Representative as the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact of Sellers with full powers of substitution to act in the name, place and stead of Sellers with respect to the performance on behalf of Sellers under the terms and provisions of this Agreement, as the same may be from time to time amended, and to do or refrain from doing all such further acts and things, and to execute all such documents, as Seller Representative shall deem necessary or appropriate in connection with any of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, including the power to:

(i)    act for Sellers with respect to all indemnification matters referred to in this Agreement, including the right to compromise or settle any such claims on behalf of Sellers;

(ii)    act for Sellers with respect to all matters referred to in Section 2.4;

(iii)    amend or waive any provision of this Agreement in any manner that does not differentiate among Sellers;

(iv)    receive and receipt for any portion of the Purchase Price or any other payment due from Purchaser to Sellers pursuant to this Agreement;

(v)    receive all notices, communications, and deliveries hereunder on behalf of Sellers under this Agreement; and

(vi)    do or refrain from doing any further act or deed on behalf of Sellers which Seller Representative deems necessary or appropriate, in the sole discretion of the Seller Representative, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement as fully and completely as Sellers could do if personally present and acting and as though any reference to Sellers in this Agreement was a reference to Seller Representative.

(b)    The appointment of Seller Representative shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable, and any other Person may conclusively and absolutely rely, without inquiry, upon any action of Seller Representative as the act of Sellers in all matters referred to in this Agreement. Sellers hereby ratify and confirm all that Seller Representative shall do or cause to be done by virtue of Seller Representative’s appointment as Seller Representative of Sellers. Seller Representative shall act for Sellers on all of the matters set forth in this Agreement in the manner Seller Representative believes to be in the best interest of Sellers, but Seller Representative shall not be responsible to Sellers for any Loss or damage Sellers may suffer by reason of the performance by Seller Representative of such Seller Representative’s duties under this Agreement, other than loss or damage arising from fraud or willful misconduct in the performance of Seller Representative’s duties under this Agreement.

(c)    In the event Seller Representative resigns or ceases to function in such capacity for any reason whatsoever, then the successor Seller Representative shall be the Person appointed by Peterson Partners VII, L.P.; provided, however, that if for any reason no successor has been appointed within thirty (30) days of such resignation or cessation, then any of Purchaser and/or Principal Sellers shall have the right to petition a court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a successor Seller Representative.

(d)    Seller Representative Expense Fund Amount will be used solely to pay costs, fees and expenses incurred by the Seller Representative for the benefit of Sellers pursuant to this Agreement on or after the Closing Date, and will be paid or distributed at the direction of the Seller Representative (the “Seller Representative Expense Fund”). Seller Representative Expense Fund will be held by the Seller Representative as agent and for the benefit of the Sellers in a segregated account. Seller Representative (on behalf of Sellers) will hold these funds in trust. Promptly following sixty (60) days after the date on which the Seller Representative determines, in its reasonable sole discretion, that all matters for which the Seller Representative Expense Fund may need to be used have been resolved, Seller Representative will distribute the then-remaining balance of the Seller Representative Expense Fund (if any) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Sellers, based on their respective pro rata shares as set forth in the Funds Flow Memorandum. For Tax purposes, the Sellers’ Representative Expense Fund shall be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Sellers at the time of Closing.

(e)    Principal Sellers shall severally and not jointly (in accordance with their respective pro rata shares as set forth in the Funds Flow Memorandum), indemnify and hold harmless Seller Representative from and against, compensate Seller Representative for, reimburse Seller Representative for and pay any and all Losses arising out of and in connection with its activities as Seller Representative under this Agreement (the “Representative Losses”), in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred; provided that in the event it is finally adjudicated that a Representative Loss or any portion thereof was primarily caused by the gross negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct of Seller Representative, Seller Representative shall reimburse Principal Sellers the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss attributable to such gross negligence, fraud, intentional misconduct or bad faith.

(f)    Sellers agree that: (i) Purchaser shall be able to rely conclusively on the instructions and decisions of the Seller Representative or any other actions taken (or not taken) by the Seller Representative pursuant to the terms hereof, and no party hereunder shall have any cause of action against Purchaser for any action taken by Purchaser in reliance upon the instructions of the Seller Representative pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) amounts paid to the Seller Representative by or on behalf of Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or at the direction of the Seller Representative shall be treated as having been paid to Sellers, employees and/or executives, as applicable.

Section 10.2    Schedules. Any information disclosed pursuant to the Disclosure Schedules or any other Schedule shall be deemed to be disclosed in all sections of the Disclosure Schedules to the extent that it is readily apparent on the face of such disclosure that such disclosure is applicable to such other section notwithstanding the omission of a reference or a cross reference thereto. Neither the specification of any dollar amount or any item or matter in any provision of this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item or matter in the Disclosure Schedules or any Schedule hereto is intended to imply that such amount, or higher or lower amounts, or the item or matter so specified or included, or other items or matters, are or are not material, and no Party shall use the fact of the specification of any such amount or the specification or inclusion of any such item or matter in any dispute or controversy between the Parties as to whether any item or matter is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement. Neither the specification of any item or matter in any provision of this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item or matter in the Disclosure Schedules or any other Schedule is intended to imply that such item or matter, or other items or matters, are or are not in the Ordinary Course, and no Party shall use the fact of the specification or the inclusion of any such item or matter in any dispute or controversy between the Parties as to whether any item or matter is or is not in the Ordinary Course for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 10.3    Notices. Any notice, request, instruction or other document required or permitted to be given under this Agreement by any Party to another Party will be in writing and will be given to such Party at its address set forth in below or to such other address as the Party to whom notice is to be given may provide in a written notice to the Party giving such notice.

Section 10.4    Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement can be amended, supplemented or changed, and any provision hereof can be waived, only by means of a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of Purchaser and Seller Representative; provided that this Agreement may not be amended, supplemented or changed or waived in a manner that is adverse to the Charitable Seller, without the prior written consent of the Charitable Seller. No action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including any investigation by or on behalf of any Party, will be deemed to constitute a waiver by the Party taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein. The waiver by any Party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement will not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such Party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

Section 10.5    Public Announcements. Purchaser shall provide Seller Representative with a reasonable opportunity to comment on the initial press release announcing this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Initial Press
Release”) prior to its release. Following the Initial Press Release, any Party may make press releases with respect to the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that any such press release shall be factually accurate, shall be limited to the information contained in the Initial Press Release and shall comply with the Confidentiality Agreement, Section 6.3 of this Agreement, and the other terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such approval shall be necessary to the extent disclosure may be required by the Securities and Exchange Commission or the rules and regulations of The Nasdaq Stock Market; provided further that, in the event that Purchaser determines that disclosure is required pursuant to the preceding proviso, Purchaser shall use their reasonable commercial efforts to consult with Seller Representative prior to making the disclosure.

Section 10.6    Interpretation. No provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in favor of, or against, any of the Parties by reason of the extent to which any such Party or its counsel participated in the drafting of this Agreement or by reason of the extent to which any such provision is inconsistent with any prior draft of this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement.

Section 10.7    Expenses. Except as expressly set forth herein, each Party will be responsible for any costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by such Party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that Purchaser shall be responsible for all filing and similar fees (if any) payable in connection with any filings or submissions under the HSR Act.

Section 10.8    Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any litigation brought to enforce or interpret this Agreement, or arising out of its negotiation, performance, or subject matter, the Party who prevails will be entitled, in addition to any other damages or relief awarded, to recover its reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees, costs and other out-of-pocket costs incurred by such Party, including those incurred at trial, in any bankruptcy or other proceeding, on appeal, and in enforcing any judgment, as determined by the court, from the losing Party.

Section 10.9    Successors and Assigns. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns. No Party to this Agreement may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement, by operation of Law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other Party, and any such purported assignment in violation of this Agreement will be null and void provided, however, Purchaser may assign this Agreement for collateral security purposes to any lenders, potential lenders and other customary secured parties providing financing, hedging or cash management arrangements to purchaser, without the prior written consent of any other Party.

Section 10.10    No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, the Disclosure Schedules and the Ancillary Agreements (including the schedules and exhibits hereto and thereto) are for the sole benefit of the Parties and their permitted assigns and nothing herein expressed or implied will give or be construed to give to any Person, other than the Parties and such permitted assigns, any legal or equitable rights under this Agreement, except that each Purchaser Indemnified Party and each Seller Indemnified Party will be a third party beneficiary with respect to ARTICLE 9.

Section 10.11    Specific Performance. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that a violation of any of the terms of this Agreement will cause the other Parties irreparable injury for which adequate remedy at law is not available. Accordingly, it is agreed that each of the Parties will be entitled to seek specific performance, injunction, restraining Order or other equitable relief, without the posting of any bond, to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of competent jurisdiction, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled at law or equity.

Section 10.12    Governing Law. This Agreement, and all Legal Proceedings (whether in contract or tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any Legal Proceedings based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement), will be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of Laws of another jurisdiction.

Section 10.13    Consent to Jurisdiction. Any Legal Proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought and maintained exclusively in any state or federal court located in the State of Utah and each of the Parties hereby consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such Legal Proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the full extent permitted by Law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such Legal Proceeding which is brought in any such court has been
brought in an inconvenient forum. To the extent not prohibited by Law, process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on any Party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each Party agrees that service of process on such Party as provided in Section 10.3 will be deemed effective service of process on such Party.

Section 10.14    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which, taken together, will constitute one and the same Agreement, binding on the Parties. The signature of any Party to any counterpart hereof will be deemed a signature to, and may be appended to, any other counterpart hereof. In the event that any signature to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file (or any other electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g. www.docusign.com), such signature will create a valid and binding obligation of the Party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof. Once signed, this Agreement may be delivered by facsimile or “.pdf” format, and any reproduction of this Agreement made by reliable means (e.g., photocopy, facsimile or portable document format) is considered an original.

Section 10.15    Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and will not control or affect the meaning or construction of any provisions of this Agreement.

Section 10.16    Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement, the Disclosure Schedules and the Ancillary Agreements (including the Schedules and Exhibits attached hereto and thereto) constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereto and thereto, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereto and thereto.

Section 10.17    Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application of any such term or provision to any Person or circumstance is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect, impair or invalidate any other term, provision or condition of this Agreement so long as the economic and legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are fulfilled to the extent possible.

(b)    It is understood that any cost estimates, projections or other predictions, any data, any financial information or any memoranda or offering materials or presentations, including but not limited to, any offering memorandum or similar materials made available to Purchaser or its Affiliates or their respective representatives by the Company, Sellers or their respective representatives, agents, employees, officers, directors, managers, trustees or equity holders are not and shall not be deemed to be or to include representations or warranties of the Company or Sellers, and are not and
shall not be deemed to be relied upon by Purchaser in executing, delivering and performing this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, in each case except for the representations and warranties set forth in ARTICLE 3 and ARTICLE 4, in each case as modified by the Disclosure Schedules. Except for the specific representations and warranties expressly made by Sellers in ARTICLE 3 and ARTICLE 4, in each case as modified by the Disclosure Schedules: (i) Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Sellers are not making and have not made any representation or warranty, express or implied, at law or in equity, in respect of (A) Sellers, the Company or the business of the Company; (B) the business, assets, liabilities, operations, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of Sellers or the Company; (C) the nature or extent of any Liabilities of Sellers, the Company or the business of the Company; (D) the effectiveness or the success of any operations; or (E) the accuracy or completeness of any confidential information memoranda, projections, forecasts or estimates of earnings or other information (financial or otherwise) regarding Sellers, the Company or the business of the Company furnished to Purchaser or its representatives or made available to Purchaser and its representatives in any “data rooms,” “virtual data rooms,” management presentations or any other form in expectation of, or in connection with, the transactions contemplated hereby, or in respect of any other matter or thing whatsoever; and (ii) Purchaser specifically disclaims that it is relying upon or has relied upon any such other representations or warranties that may have been made by any Person, and acknowledges and agrees that Sellers have specifically disclaimed and do hereby specifically disclaim any such other representation or warranty made by any Person.

Section 10.20    Waiver of Conflicts; Privilege.

(a)    Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that Bennett Tueller Johnson & Deere, LLC (“BTJD”) has acted as counsel to Sellers in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b)    Purchaser hereby consents and agrees to, and agrees to cause the Company to consent and agree to, BTJD representing any of Sellers after the Closing with respect to disputes concerning the transactions contemplated hereby, including with respect to such disputes in which the interests of a Seller may be directly adverse to Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Company).

(c)    In connection with the foregoing, Purchaser hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, and agrees to cause the Company to irrevocably waive and not to assert, any conflict of interest arising from or in connection with BTJD’s representation of Sellers after the Closing with respect to such disputes.

(d)    Purchaser agrees, on behalf of itself, its Affiliates and, after the Closing, on behalf of the Company, that all communications in any form or format whatsoever between or among any of BTJD, the Company, any of Sellers, or any of their respective directors, managers, officers, employees, equity holders, agents or other representatives that directly relate to the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or any dispute arising under this Agreement (collectively, the “Deal Communications”) shall be deemed to be retained and owned by Sellers and shall not pass to or be claimed by Purchaser or the Company. All Deal Communications that are attorney-client privileged (the “Privileged Deal Communications”) shall remain privileged after the Closing and the privilege and the expectation of client confidence relating thereto shall belong solely to Sellers and shall not pass to or be claimed by Purchaser or the Company.

(e)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Purchaser or the Company on the one hand, and a third party other than any Seller, on the other hand, Purchaser or the Company may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent the disclosure of the Privileged Deal Communications to such third party; provided, however, that none of Purchaser or the Company may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of Seller Representative. In the event that Purchaser or the Company is legally required by a Governmental Authority to access or obtain a copy of all or a portion of the Deal Communications, Purchaser (i) shall, to the extent legally permissible, reasonably promptly notify Seller Representative in writing (including by making specific reference to this Section 10.20), (ii) agrees that Seller Representative can seek a protective order, and (iii) agrees to use, at Principal Seller’s sole cost and expense, commercially reasonable efforts to assist therewith.

(f)    To the extent that files or other materials maintained by BTJD in relation hereto constitute property of its clients, only Sellers shall hold such property rights and BTJD shall have no duty to reveal or disclose any such files or other materials or any Deal Communications by reason of any attorney-client relationship between BTJD, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand.

(g)    It shall not be a breach of any provision of this Agreement if prior to the Closing, Sellers or the Company, or any of their respective directors, managers, officers, employees, agents or other representatives take any action to protect from access or remove from the premises of the Company (or any offsite back-up or other facilities) any Deal Communications, including by segregating, encrypting, copying, deleting, erasing, exporting or otherwise taking possession of any Deal Communications.
