Definitions. Throughout this Agreement, the words “we”, “us” and “our” mean SUNation Energy, LLC, or if SUNation Energy, LLC transfers or assigns this Agreement then the Project Owner as described further below to which the Agreement is transferred or assigned. The words “you” and “your” refer to the person(s) identified above and whose signature appears on this Agreement under the word “Customer”. Any terms used herein, but not otherwise defined, shall have the meanings set forth in the Executive Summary.

You and we are sometimes referred to in this Agreement, individually, as a “Party” and, together, as the “Parties”. Other capitalized words used in this Agreement have the meanings given to them in bold font contained in quotation marks, including in the “General Terms and Conditions” attached as Schedule B, which is a part of this Agreement.

Description of Agreement. This Agreement is a legally binding contract. It governs the terms and conditions under which:

(a) we will arrange for the right to transfer and assign to you a portion of the Net Metering Credit calculated by the Utility in connection with the electricity generated and delivered to the Utility by the Community Solar Project identified on The Executive Summary (the “Community Solar Project”); and

(b) you will receive and purchase from us and we will arrange for the allocation to your Utility Account of your portion of such Net Metering Credit.

Purchase and Sale of Net Metering Credit. You agree to purchase the Net Metering Credit at the rates described in the Executive Summary (the “Applicable Rate”), which shows the percentage discount which will be applied to the Utility’s prevailing Net Metering Tariff per kWh as described in this Agreement and the Executive Summary. The Net Metering Credit will be calculated and allocated to your Utility Account in kwh. Ownership, title and risk of loss of any Net Metering Credit will transfer to you upon the Utility’s calculation of the Net Metering Credit under the Project Owner’s utility account in accordance with applicable law and the tariffs of the Utility via the “Appendix B – PSEG Allocation Request Form” form filed with the Utility by the Project Owner or by us.

Monthly Charges and Billing. Each month, you will pay us via Automated Clearing House (“ACH”), in accordance with the terms set forth in Schedule D, the Applicable Rate for each kilowatt hour of Net Metering Credit allocated to your Utility Account regardless of your usage of electricity, and the amount due to your Utility. Any unused Net Metering Credits in a given billing period will be treated by the Utility in accordance with your electric utility’s Net Metering Tariff document. You will not be permitted to receive any payments in cash from us for any portion of the Net Metering Credit allocated to your Utility Account, including any portion that may remain unused or which has not been applied to actual amounts due by you to the Utility under your Utility Account bills at any time.

Monthly Statement and Payment. We will provide to you a monthly statement showing a summary of the charges that you incurred from us including (a) the amount and value of the Net Metering Credit allocated to your Utility Account during the prior Billing Month, (b) the Applicable Rate, (c) sales taxes or other charges imposed by any governmental authority on our sale to you of the Net Metering Credit and the other services provided to you under this Agreement or on the Project Owner and passed through to us under our agreement with the Project Owner and (d) the total amount due from you to us (the “Monthly Statement”). You agree to pay us the total amount due shown on each Monthly Statement by Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) payment, in accordance with the terms set forth in the Executive Summary and the General Terms and Conditions. You will continue to receive monthly bills from your Utility and your competitive electricity supplier, if any. The amount of Net Metering Credit applied to your Utility Account will be shown on your bills from the Utility. You may still need to make payments to the Utility for its provision of electricity and delivery services to you and for amounts you owe to your competitive electricity supplier, if any, not covered by the Net Metering Credit allocated to your account.

Project Not Yet Constructed. You understand that, as of the Effective Date, the Community Solar Project may or may not have been built or yet begun to operate or generate electricity from which the Net Metering Credit can be calculated by the Utility. We will not be able to allocate and sell to you and you will not be able to receive any Net Metering Credit from the Community Solar Project until the date it has been fully constructed, has received permission from the Utility to begin to operate, and the Utility has begun to measure, calculate, and allocate the Net Metering Credit according to law and the Utility’s procedures. This date is the “Net Metering Start Date.” You understand that our obligations under this Agreement are contingent upon achievement of the Net Metering Start Date within twelve (12) months of the Effective Date, and that if the Net Metering Start Date is not achieved, this Agreement will be terminated as described below.

Term. The term (“Term”) of this Agreement will begin on the Effective Date and will renew on the one (1) year anniversary of the Net Metering Start Date (“Renewal Date”) unless earlier terminated as specifically provided for in this Agreement.

Renewal. This Agreement may be terminated at the expiration of the Term by either party giving written notice, by registered mail, return receipt (effective on noted delivery date), not less than sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the Term. If either party does not give notice, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect upon its then current terms for subsequent one (1) year periods subject to these termination provisions. Each annual renewal will be accompanied by a percentage increase in the Applicable Rate defined in the Executive Summary. Your obligation to pay any and all charges and assessments, which shall have accrued, shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Your Obligations to the Utility, any Competitive Supplier and to Us. You must continue to maintain the Utility Account during the Term of this Agreement. You must take electric service at your residence under your Utility Account in your own name. If you purchase retail electric supply from a competitive electric supplier and you wish to have the Utility apply the Net Metering Credit to amounts due from you to your competitive supplier, you must cause your Utility and competitive supplier to enroll you in a combined billing service under which amounts due to your competitive supplier for electricity are billed to you on your Utility’s invoice to your for distribution services. If you do not enroll in combined billing, the Utility will not apply the Net Metering Credit towards amounts due by you to your competitive supplier. You will continue to be obligated to pay all amounts due to the Utility under your Utility Account as well as any amounts due to your competitive supplier, whether under a combined bill or separate bills.

Returned Payments. A payment that is dishonored or returned for any reason, including without limitation insufficient funds in your account, will incur a fee (“Returned Payment Fee”) equal to the lower of (a) $20 and (b) the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. The Returned Payment Fee is an administrative charge to compensate us for costs we incur as a result of returned payments. It is not an interest or finance charge.

No Ownership of Community Solar Project. You understand that you will not own any part of or any interest in the Community Solar Project, whether directly or indirectly. The Community Solar Project will be developed, constructed, owned and operated by a third party (a “Project Owner”). We may enter into an agreement with a Project Owner under which we will have the right to sell the Net Metering Credit to you and allocate the Net Metering Credit to your Utility Account as well as other Utility Account holders who are located in the same NYISO load zone as the Community Solar Project. We may also assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, to a Project Owner.

Ownership of Incentives and Environmental Attributes. You acknowledge that we will not transfer to you, and the Project Owner will continue to own and have the exclusive right to, any credits, rebates, subsidies, payments or other incentives that relate to the generation of electricity using the power of the sun and the technology incorporated into the Community Solar Project and the environmental benefits of using the Community Solar Project (other than that portion of the Net Metering Credit calculated for by the Utility and allocated to your Utility Account), whether acknowledged or provided by any program available from the local Utility, electric company or any other regulated entity, the manufacturer of any part of the Community Solar Project, the New York Department of Public Service, the New York State Reasearch and Development Authority, or any other governmental authority of the State of New York or the federal government of the United States of America, and any successor to any of the previous entities (collectively, “Incentives”). You agree that you will take those actions reasonably requested by us that must be undertaken as required to qualify for, and enable us (including the Project Owner) to receive any Incentives. For purposes of this Agreement, “Environmental Attributes” include carbon trading credits, greenhouse gas offsets or credits, renewable energy credits or certificates, emissions reduction credits, emissions allowances, green tags, tradeable renewable credits and any other similar products. You agree that you will execute any documents we decide are necessary or expedient to accomplish the sale, transfer or assignment by us or the Project Owner (or to us or the Project Owner) of any Environmental Attributes or Incentives.

Estimated Electricity For Net Metering Credit. The Executive Summary also shows the amount of electricity, measured in kilowatt hours, we estimate will be generated by the Community Solar Project in each year during the Term for which the Utility will calculate Net Metering Credit for allocation to your Utility Account. Due to a number of reasons, including but not limited to day-to-day, seasonal and other changes and variations in weather, the actual production of electricity will vary, and we cannot and do not guarantee the Community Solar Project will in fact produce electricity in such amounts. This amount is an estimate only, and we also cannot and do not predict the value of the Net Metering Credit that the Utility will calculate and allocate to your Utility Account.

Value of Net Metering Credit. The value of the Net Metering Credit allocated and applied to your Utility Account will be calculated based on the Net Metering Tariff identified on the Executive Summary in effect from time to time during the term of this Agreement. The Utility will update and change the Net Metering Tariff as required or permitted by law during the term of this Agreement. The value of the Net Metering Credit per kilowatt hour of production from the Community Solar Project will also change and may be different from the cost per kilowatt hour of electricity and electric service you receive at your residence. Whether you purchase electricity from a competitive electricity supplier or receive Basic Service or Default Service electric supply from your Utility in addition to distribution services, the value per kilowatt-hour of the Net Metering Credit calculated under the Project Tariff may be higher or lower than the total cost per kilowatt hour of the electricity and electric services you receive at your residence.

Limited Use of Net Metering Credit. You may not be able to offset the entirety of the amounts due by you to the Utility under your bills sent to you by the Utility. You may be allocated Net Metering Credit which is not applied as partial payment or payment in full of amounts due by you to the Utility under your Utility Account. You may have no opportunity to increase or decrease your portion of the Net Metering Credit. You may be subjected to a minimum bill charge and other charges imposed by your Utility if the Utility imposes such charges in connection with a change in its tariffs or applicable law. You may not be permitted to apply the amount of the Net Metering Credit to the portion of your bills due to the Utility for such minimum amount.

Energy Requirements. You understand that this Agreement is not for delivery of any electricity to your residence. You acknowledge that you will need to maintain an account with your local electric distribution company, Utility or other electricity provider and remain connected to the local distribution network or electricity grid for the provision or delivery of electricity you need at your residence. You will be solely responsible for obtaining and paying for electricity and distribution services from your Utility or any other source or supplier.

Information; Authorizations; Power of Attorney. You hereby authorize us, including the Project Owner, to deliver to the Utility and keep on record with the Utility such documentation and information as may be required by the Utility for us to perform our obligations under this Agreement. You authorize us to provide to the Utility such information about your Utility Account and such other information from the Executive Summary as may be necessary for us to cause the Utility and the Project Owner to allocate, transfer and assign to you and apply to amounts due by you under your Utility Account your portion of the Net Metering Credit from the Community Solar Project. We will use such information to administer and maintain, in some cases directly and in others on the Project Owner’s behalf, a list of and instructions to the Utility for allocating all participants who will receive a percentage share of the Net Metering Credit calculated by the Utility for the Community Solar Project. This list and related instructions is called the Utility’s “Appendix B – Allocation Request Form.” You hereby grant to us a power of attorney coupled with an interest and appoint us as your attorney in fact for all such purposes. You hereby confirm that all of the information provided on the Executive Summary is true, correct and complete.

Access to Your Utility Account and Utility Data. You agree to promptly provide us with copies of and/or access to the invoices you receive from the Utility and other information associated with your Utility Account, including such data as may be made available by you or the Utility from the meter or meters installed by the Utility at your residence, for the purpose of executing this Agreement and verifying the delivery of Net Metering Credits to your Utility Account as expected by your electric Utility.

Taxes. You will be responsible for and will pay any and all sales taxes and other taxes and charges imposed upon the sale of Net Metering Credits from us to you under this Agreement. The Project Owner will be responsible for all income, gross receipts, ad valorem (in proportion to the estimated value of the goods or transaction concerned), personal property or real property or other taxes and franchise fees assessed against the Community Solar Project.

Your Options if You Move. If you decide to sell and/or move out of your home and moving will change your Utility Account, you may have the opportunity to have Net Metering Credit allocated to the utility account at your new residence where possible. If you want to transfer this Agreement to your new residence, it must be located within the same Utility’s service territory and within the same NYISO load zone as the one in which the Community Solar Project is located. In that situation, you must change the Utility Account to which your Net Metering Credit will be allocated. You must provide written notice to us of your new utility account information and such new utility account will then become the Utility Account to which we will direct the allocation of the Net Metering Credit. If you do not allocate your Net Metering Credit to your new residence, you will be subject to the terms of Early Termination, as described in the paragraph below titled “Early Termination; Time Period Before Cancellation Become Effective”.

Termination of this Agreement. You may cancel and terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to us a minimum of sixty (60) calendar days notice prior to the Renewal Date in the year termination is requested. Termination of this Agreement is subject to the terms and conditions detailed in the following paragraph titled “Early Termination; Time Period Before Cancellation Becomes Effective”. We may cancel and terminate this Agreement before the end of the Term in the event that the Net Metering Start Date does not occur within twelve months of the Effective Date, or as provided in the section “Unforeseen Problems; Our Optional Termination”.

Unforeseen Problems; Our Optional Termination. If there are unforeseen problems with performing our obligations under this Agreement due to the actions or omissions of the Project Owner,actions taken by or on behalf of you or other persons, a Force Majeure Event or a Change in Law (as defined in the General Terms and Conditions), or due to the inaccuracy of any information that you provided and on which we relied, we reserve the right to terminate this Agreement by giving you ten (10) days prior written notice. If we terminate this Agreement before the Net Metering Start Date we will have no further obligations or liabilities to you.

Events of Default; Remedies. Your Event of Default under this Agreement, including a Payment Default, will allow us to choose certain remedies including terminating this Agreement, removing your Utility Account from the Allocation Request Form for this Community Solar Project plus additional cancellation fees including reasonable attorney fees. In addition to the foregoing, all other rights and remedies are expressly reserved, none of which are waived.
