Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously announced in an 8-K filed by SunPower Corporation (the “Company”) on July 10, 2013, the Company, Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank (“Crédit Agricole”), as administrative agent, and the other lenders party thereto entered into a revolving credit agreement dated July 3, 2013 (the “Revolver”). On January 31, 2014, as contemplated by the terms of the Revolver, SunPower Corporation, Systems (“Systems”), SunPower North America, LLC (“SPNA”) and SunPower Capital, LLC (together with Systems and SPNA, the “Material Domestic Subsidiaries”) entered into a Security Agreement with Crédit Agricole (the “Security Agreement”). Under the Security Agreement, the Company and the Material Domestic Subsidiaries granted a lien over certain of their inventory and accounts receivable (excluding inventory and accounts receivable attributable to the Company’s or the Material Domestic Subsidiaries’ respective residential lease programs) to Crédit Agricole, in its role as security agent of the lenders party to the Revolver, in order to secure the Company’s obligations under the Revolver. Supplemental to the Security Agreement, each Material Domestic Subsidiary also guaranteed the obligations of the Company under the Revolver, and the guaranty by Total S.A., a French société anonyme, of the obligations of the Company under the Revolver expired pursuant to the terms of the Revolver.

The Security Agreement includes representations, covenants, and related terms customary for a transaction of this nature.
