CDG Host shall construct, own, operate, and maintain a Solar NMGF (as defined below) in the Electric Utility’s service territory and the same NYISO Zone as Subscriber’s Service Address. The New York State Public Service Commission permits the Subscriber to receive Bill Credits on their Electric Utility bill calculated in connection with the Percentage Allocation of the Excess Generation of such Solar NMGF. By signing this Agreement, Subscriber agrees to the terms and conditions below.
2. DEFINITIONS. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and its exhibits shall have the meanings given in Exhibit A attached hereto.
3. TERM. The Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall expire on the first (1st) anniversary of the later of the Commercial Operation Date or the Effective Date (the “Initial Term”) unless otherwise renewed.

Bill Credits shall be applied to Subscriber’s Electric Utility bill no more than once per calendar month. If the amount of Bill Credits exceeds the amount of usage on Subscriber’s Electric Utility bill in the applicable Bill Period, the excess Bill Credit(s) shall be applied to Subscriber’s subsequent Electric Utility bill. In the event any such excess Bill Credits remains unapplied on the Subscriber’s account, it is intended under operation of the CDG Program that such excess Bill Credits shall remain on such account until applied by the Electric Utility against amounts due by Subscriber under its Electric Utility Bill. Subscriber understands and agrees that it shall pay the Monthly Subscription Payment to the CDG Host regardless of whether the Bill Credit is applied in whole or in part and carried over to subsequent Bill Periods.
b. Energy Attributes. Subscriber’s purchase of the Percentage Allocation will not include the right to any Energy Attribute.
c. Subscriber Eligibility. Subscriber’s eligibility to purchase the Percentage Allocation and receive Bill Credits is expressly conditioned upon Subscriber meeting the following criteria and any other criteria outlined by applicable law (the “Subscriber Eligibility Criteria”): (i) Subscriber is an Electric Utility account holder with a Service Address in the Electric Utility’s service territory (with the Subscriber being the named or one of the named account holders); (ii) the Service Address is located within the same NYISO Zone as the Project NMGF; (iii) the Percentage Allocation of the Excess Generation shall amount to at least one thousand (1,000) kWhs annually; (iv) the Percentage Allocation of the Excess Generation shall not exceed the Subscriber’s historic annual kWh usage or forecasted usage if annual historic data is not available; (v) Subscriber is not currently a net metered customer-generator, a remote net metered host or satellite account, or is taking Standby Service under the Tariff; and (vi) Subscriber is creditworthy, as determined by CDG Host in its sole and absolute discretion, at the time this Agreement is executed.
d. Subscriber Authorization. Subscriber authorizes or has previously authorized CDG Host or Electric Utility to obtain Subscriber’s historical kWh consumption data. Subscriber authorizes or has previously authorized CDG Host to obtain Subscriber’s credit report now and in the future, answer questions others may ask regarding Subscriber’s credit and share Subscriber’s credit information with CDG Host’s financing partners. Subscriber hereby certifies that all information Subscriber provided to CDG Host in connection with CDG Host obtaining Subscriber’s historical kWh consumption data and credit history will be true and Subscriber understands that this information shall be updated upon request if Subscriber’s conditions change. Should Subscriber be found to be in violation of the Subscriber Eligibility Criteria, this Agreement may be subject to termination by CDG Host, the Electric Utility, or a governmental authority having jurisdiction over the CDG Program.
e. Subscriber Data. To ensure Subscriber receives the appropriate Bill Credits, Subscriber shall permit CDG Host to provide the Electric Utility with the following information: the Percentage Allocation, Subscriber’s name, Subscriber’s account number, Subscriber’s mailing address, and the Service Address (collectively “Subscriber’s Data”).

In the event of such adjustment, the Monthly Subscription Payment shall be adjusted accordingly.
d. Subscriber Adjustments to the Percentage Allocation. In the event Subscriber’s historic annual kWh usage changes, Subscriber may submit a written request, within thirty (30) days of a CDG Host Anniversary, to modify Subscriber’s Percentage Allocation accordingly.
