certain Credit Facility Agreement dated as of September 19, 2006 between Solar
Power, Inc., a California corporation (“Borrower”) and Welund Fund, Inc., a
Nevada corporation (“Lender” or “Holder”), as such may be amended from time to
time (the "Credit Agreement"). Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized
terms used in this Note shall have the same meanings that are given to such
terms in the Credit Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated into this
Note by reference.
1.
Obligation.
The
Borrower hereby promises to pay to the order of Lender or Holder on or before
the Maturity Date, at Lender's principal place of business, or at such other
place as Holder may direct, the principal sum of One hundred thousand Dollars
($100,000.00) or so much thereof as may be advanced and outstanding, together
with all interest accrued on unpaid principal, to be computed on each Advance
from the date of its disbursement to Borrower, at a rate equal to eight percent
(8%) simple interest per annum, as provided in the Credit Agreement. The
outstanding principal amount of this Note, together with accrued interest
thereon, shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date. The outstanding
unpaid principal balance of this Note at any time shall be the total principal
amounts advanced hereunder by Holder less the amounts of payments of principal
made hereon by Borrower, which balance may be endorsed hereon from time to
time
by Holder in accordance with Section 2.

is authorized to record on Schedule A hereto, and on any continuation(s) of
such
Schedule that may be attached to this Note: (a) the date and principal amount
of
each Advance by Lender under the Credit Agreement; and (b) the date and amount
of each payment or prepayment of principal and/or accrued interest of any
Advance; which recordation will constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy
of the information so endorsed on Schedule A; provided however, that any failure
to record such information on such Schedule or continuation thereof will not
in
any manner affect the obligations of Borrower to make payments of principal
and
interest in accordance with the terms of this Note. Holder will promptly provide
Borrower with a copy of each recordation made by Holder on Schedule A attached
hereto.
3.
Security.
This

at any time without penalty as specified in the Credit Agreement. Unless

accrued interest, and (b) second, (to the extent that the amount of such
prepayment exceeds the amount of all such accrued interest), to the payment
of
