Exhibit 10.8a

October 12, 2012

SolarCity Corporation

San Mateo, CA 94127

 

  RE: Consent to Revision of Schedule 7.01 to the Term Credit Agreement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of March 8, 2012 (“Term Credit Agreement”) among SolarCity Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), the Lenders thereunder (“Term Lenders”), Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, “Term Facility Agent”), and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as sole lead arranger and sole book manager.

Pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Term Credit Agreement, Borrower is not permitted to create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien upon any of its property, assets or revenues, except for Permitted Liens. As a result of a filing error by the Delaware Secretary of State, as of the Closing Date, Borrower was unaware of a UCC financing statement recorded with the Delaware Secretary of State on March 19, 2009 with the filing number 90892031, naming Duvera Billing Services, LLC as the secured party thereunder and Borrower as the debtor thereunder (the “Duvera Lien”). Subsequent to the Closing Date, Borrower learned of and informed Term Lenders and Term Facility Agent of the existence of the Duvera Lien. Borrower now requests the Duvera Lien be added to Schedule 7.01 of the Term Credit Agreement.

Term Facility Agent and Term Lenders (by their acceptance and agreement below) hereby consent and authorize the deletion of Schedule 7.01 of the Term Credit Agreement in its entirety and replacement with the Schedule 7.01 attached hereto, effective as of the Closing Date.

The consent set forth above shall be effective only in this specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it is given, and this consent shall not entitle Borrower to any other or further consent or waiver in any similar or other circumstances. The consent set forth above shall be limited precisely as written and shall not be deemed to (a) be a waiver or modification of any other term or condition of the Term Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document (as defined in the Term Credit Agreement) or (b) prejudice any right or remedy which Term Facility Agent or Term Lenders may now have or may have in the future under or in connection with the Term Credit Agreement or any Loan Document (as defined in the Term Credit Agreement).

This letter agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this letter agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic transmission shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this letter agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this letter agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic transmission shall also deliver an original executed counterpart of this letter agreement, but the failure to do so shall not affect the validity, enforceability or binding effect of this letter agreement.


Please acknowledge your receipt of this letter agreement and acceptance of the foregoing terms and conditions by signing and dating the enclosed counterpart of this letter agreement where indicated below and returning the same to the undersigned as soon as possible.
