This Guarantee sets forth the terms and conditions of a guarantee provided by Seller in connection with Storage Services provided
under Exhibit 4 of the Solar Power Purchase Agreement by and between Seller and Purchaser dated the same date as this Guarantee
(the "Agreement"). All capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings given such terms in the Agreement. Any reference to
the Agreement means the Agreement as of the date hereof and as amended or restated in any amendments or restatements of the
Agreement to which Seller is a party. The term of this Guarantee shall be concurrent with the Storage Services Term.
1. Guaranteed Annual Reduction. Commencing at the start of the Storage Services Term, for each twelve (12) month
calculation period therein (each an "Guarantee Year"), Seller guarantees to Purchaser that the Facility's aggregate load
reductions, as reflected by the System monitoring system and calculated in accordance with the methodology set forth on
Schedule 1 (the "Actual Reduction"), will be at least as follows (each, a "Guaranteed Annual Reduction"):

Upon conclusion of each Guarantee Year, Seller shall aggregate the Actual Reductions from such year to calculate the
"Actual Annual Reduction".
Seller shall pay Purchaser $8.50/ kW (or kVA, as applicable) (the "Guaranteed Demand Rate") for each kW (or kVA, as
applicable) that the Actual Annual Reduction is less than the Guaranteed Annual Reduction in an Guarantee Year (the
"Guarantee Payment"). Seller shall pay total Guarantee Payment, if any is payable, as a lump sum upon the later to occur
of (1) thirty (30) days after the end of the applicable Guarantee Year, and (2) thirty (30) days after Seller's completion of the
utility billing rectification described in Section 2 below and Schedule 1.
2. Utility Billinz Period Rectification. Both parties acknowledge that the Utility invoice cycle is subject to slight deviations
from the calendar month (e.g. the Utility invoice for the month of February may be from January 28'h to March 3`d). Seller
shall track ongoing performance based on the calendar month, and within sixty (60) days after the end of each Guarantee
Year Seller shall perform the calculations set forth in Schedule 1 to match the Utility invoicing cycles. Seller's obligation to
match the Guarantee Payment to the Purchaser's Utility bills is subject to:
1) Purchaser's provision of an electronic copy of the preceding twelve (12) months of Utility invoices within thirty
(30) days after the end of the Guarantee Year; and
2) Purchaser's confirmation of its Utility invoicing cycle on an annual basis .
3. Wholesale Participation. Subject to limitations in Applicable Law, Seller shall retain the rights to utilize the system benefits
to participate in wholesale electricity markets (e.g. demand response, resource adequacy, capacity, etc.), ("Wholesale Participation"),
provided that (1) Seller shall be responsible for any costs associated with Wholesale Participation, (2) Seller shall compensate
Purchaser for any loss in Guaranteed Annual Reduction attributable to Wholesale Participation and (3) such Wholesale
Participation does not adversely impact Purchaser.
4. Exclusions. This Demand Reduction Guarantee shall not apply in the following circumstances:
a. A Person other than Seller or its approved service provider installs, removes, re -installs or repairs the Storage Unit.
b. Destruction or damage to the Storage Unit or reduction of its ability to safely store and discharge energy not caused
by Seller or its approved service providers.
c. Purchaser fails to perform, or breaches any of Purchaser's obligations under this Guarantee.
d. Purchaser modifies or alters the Storage Unit or any part thereof.
e. Purchaser fails to provide access or reasonable assistance to Seller in Seller's diagnosis or repair of a Storage Unit
defect.
f. Any Force Majeure event occurs.
g. A power or voltage surge caused by a Person other than Seller, including a grid supply voltage outside of the
standard range specified by the Utility;
h. Any Storage Unit failure, (including a monitoring failure) not caused by a Storage Unit defect.
i. Theft of the Storage Unit.
5. NO OTHER WARRANTY. OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS GUARANTEE, NO WARRANTY,
WHETHER STATUTORY, WRITTEN, ORAL, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES
OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF

Methodology for Guarantee Calculations
Seller shall install and maintain a meter ("Meter") for each of (1) Purchaser's energy and power usage at the Facility ("Meter A"), (2)
energy and power flows into (a negative number) and out of (a positive number) the Storage Unit ("Meter B"), and (3) energy and
power generated by the System ("Meter C"), as applicable.
Methodology for calculating Actual Reduction
Step 1: Identify the fifteen (15) minute interval when the sum of Meter A + Meter B + Meter C is at the highest point
during the previous month (the "Max Gross Load").
Step 2: Identify the highest single fifteen (15) minute interval for Meter A for the previous month (the "Max Net
Load").
Step 3: Subtract the Net Load from the Gross Load. This value will equal the "Actual Reduction" for the month in
question.
Step 4: Summate the Actual Reductions for the preceding 12 months to arrive at the "Actual Annual Reduction"
Example
Assume the Max Gross Load is 700kW, based on the following highest point readings from the meters for the previous
month:
Meter Power reading
kW
A
400
B
100
C
200
kW
A
500
kW
Max Gross Load
700
minus Max Net Load
500
Assuming the following Actual Reductions by month, the Actual Annual Reduction will be calculated as follows:
Month
Actual Reduction
January
200 kW
February
200 kW
March
200 kW
April
200 kW
May
200 kW
June
200 kW
July
200 kW
August
200 kW
September
200 kW
October
200 kW
November
200 kW
December
200 kW
Actual Annual
Reduction
2400 kW
Methodology for performing the Utility Billing Period Rectification
Step 1: Purchaser shall provide electronic copies of the Utility bills for the preceding 12 months within 30 days after the conclusion of
the Guarantee Year.
Step 2: Seller shall input the invoice cycle dates from the Utility bills for the preceding 12 months into the System monitoring system
Step 3: Seller shall then re -calculate the Actual Reduction for each calendar month during the Guarantee Year based on the updated
dates input into the System monitoring system
Step 4: Seller shall re -calculate the Actual Annual Reduction based on the Actual Reductions calculated in Step 3.
Step 5: If the Actual Annual Reduction is less than the Guaranteed Annual Reduction than Seller shall make payment to Purchaser as
outlined in Section 1.
