Forward-Looking Statements

This Form 8-K and other reports filed by the Registrant from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively the “Filings”) contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, Registrant’s management as well as estimates and assumptions made by the Registrant’s management. When used in the filings the words “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect”, “future”, “intend”, “plan”, or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Registrant or the Registrant’s management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of the Registrant with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors (including the risks contained in the section of the Registrant’s Form 10-K entitled “Risk Factors”) relating to the Registrant’s industry, the Registrant’s operations and results of operations, and any businesses that may be acquired by the Registrant. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned.

Although the Registrant believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Registrant cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, the Registrant does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
 
 Item 1.01      Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 13, 2009, Premier Power Renewable Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Registrant”) entered into a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 with Umpqua Bank, an Oregon corporation  (the “Lender”) for a line of credit of up to $12 million, maturing on July 13, 2011 (the “Maturity Date”).  The Loan Agreement provides for an initial line of credit of $7 million (“Initial LOC”), provided, however, that the Registrant may request no more than twice prior to the Maturity Date that the line of credit be increased to an amount not to exceed $12 million (“$12 Million LOC”) in the event the Registrant acquires another subsidiary and requires additional working capital for such subsidiary.  The actual maximum amount loaned under the line of credit shall not at any time exceed the lesser of the $12 Million LOC or the Registrant’s borrowing base, which borrowing base is dependent on the amounts of the Registrant’s eligible accounts receivables and inventory as defined in the Loan Agreement.  Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Registrant issued to Lender a promissory note (the "Note") in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 evidencing the revolving line of credit with an aggregate principle value of up to $7 million, plus interest on the unpaid principal balance at an interest rate equal to prime rate as set forth in the Wall Street Journal, provided, however, that the interest rate will not be less than five percent (5%) per annum (the “Interest Rate”).  Interest on the Note commences accruing on July 13, 2009 and is payable in arrears commencing on August 1, 2009 and on the first day of each month thereafter. The Registrant may prepay all or any portion of the amounts owed under the line of credit earlier than it is due at any time without penalty except that the Lender shall be entitled to a minimum interest charge of $250.00.  In the event an increase of the line of credit is requested by the Registrant and granted by the Lender, the Registrant and the Lender will enter into a modification of the existing Note and Loan Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3 (the “Modification Agreement”) and will amend existing and/or execute additional agreements in connection with the securing the indebtedness under the line of credit as set forth in the Loan Agreement to reflect the increased line of credit.   Under the Loan Agreement, the Registrant may request the Lender to issue letters of credit for the Registrant that in the aggregate may not exceed $5 million.  The Registrant must pay all fees and costs incurred by the Bank in issuing the letters of credit including a fee of one and one-half percent (1.50%) per annum of the average aggregate face amount of all letters of credit outstanding.  In the event of default under the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Lender: (i) may exercise all available rights and remedies at law, in equity, or in any of the loan documents, (ii) may, without further notice, declare the entire indebtedness, including any prepayment penalty which Registrant may be required to pay, immediately due and payable, (iii) may, without any further notice, terminate any obligation it has under the Loan Agreement to make any further advances under the line of credit or to issue letters of credit; and (iv) may increase the interest rate under the Note to the Interest Rate plus and additional five percent (5.0%) per annum.
