perform the responsibilities and assume the obligations defined for a Scheduling Coordinator in the CASIO Tariff, including but not limited to paying the CAISO for any uninstructed deviation penalties. Buyer shall provide Seller with such data as
may be necessary for Seller to carry out its responsibilities as Scheduling Coordinator. Seller shall be solely responsible for having the appropriate contractual or other arrangements with a SC and/or the ESP for each Direct Access Customer in
Seller’s Portfolio to ensure that Buyer’s SC receives an amount of DR energy that is equal to the amount of energy reduction by the Direct Access Customer in Seller’s Portfolio during a DR Event. Each DR transaction so made shall be
scheduled as a SC-to-SC trade, in accordance with the CAISO Tariff, to the congestion zone in which the Direct Access Customer is located. Seller is responsible for notifying the ESP for each such Direct Access Customer that the ESP will not be
compensated by Buyer for SC-to-SC trades submitted as a result of a DR Event. Seller shall be responsible for any and all Distribution Losses attributable to each Service Agreement. Buyer shall have no obligation or liability of any kind with
respect to any real-time deliveries or any uninstructed deviations. In the real-time market, all schedules by Seller shall be solely for the account of Seller, and shall be settled by Seller. 
 3.8.4.1  
 Direct Access Customer
and CCA Customer — Day-Ahead Exercise: Buyer shall notify Seller either one (1) hour prior to the close of the day-ahead market as defined in the CAISO tariff, or by 3:00PM on the day before to the operating day for which a Dr
Event has been declared. If Buyer notifies Seller one (1) hour prior to the close of the day-ahead market, Seller’s SC shall execute a SC to SC trade with Buyer’s SC for supply equal to Sellers’ Commitment Level associated with


  

 13 







 
Direct Access customers as described in the monthly submission in the Day-Ahead market. If Buyer notifies Seller by 3:00PM on the day before the operating
day for which a Dr Event has been declared, Seller’s SC shall execute a SC to SC trade with Buyer’s SC for supply equal to Sellers’ Commitment Level associated with Direct Access customers as described in the monthly submission in the
hour-ahead market. 
 3.8.4.2 
 Direct Access Customer and CCA Customer — Hour-Ahead Exercise: Buyer shall notify Seller no later than one (1) hour prior to the close of the hour-ahead market as defined in the CAISO tariff. Seller’s SC shall
execute a SC to SC trade with Buyer’s SC for supply equal to Seller’s Commitment Level associated with Direct Access customers as described in the Monthly Delivery Forecast. If Buyer’s notice is less than one (1) hour prior to
the close of the hour-ahead market as defined in the CAISO tariff, Seller has no requirement to schedule a SC to SC trade but will be responsible for reimbursing Buyer, to the extent Seller receives CAISO credits, for the received CAISO credits in
accordance with Article 4.4. 
 3.8.5 Changes in Scheduling Protocol. 
 This Agreement is based on the best knowledge available to the Parties at the time of negotiations. The Parties recognize that electric system
conditions may change and that the scheduling protocols may need modification in order for the benefits of DR to be fully utilized. The Parties agree to meet to discuss amendments to the Agreement to accommodate such changes. The
provisions of this article, however, shall not be construed to modify the provisions of Article 2.3. 
  

	3.9	Metering and Communications Equipment 

 Each
Customer that Seller plans to include in Seller’s Portfolio must have approved interval metering and approved metering communications equipment installed and operating prior to being included in Seller’s Portfolio. Approved interval
metering is capable of recording usage in 15-minute intervals and being read remotely by Buyer. 
 If the Customer is receiving Direct Access
service, then a Meter Data Management Agent (“MDMA”) may also read the Customer’s metering on behalf of the Customer’s ESP. ***. 
 For bundled service Customers with a maximum demand of 200 kW or greater for three consecutive months in the past 12 billing months, Buyer shall provide and install the metering and communication
equipment at no cost to the Customer if metering and communication equipment are required. For other bundled service Customers, PG&E 

  

 14 







 
shall, if required, provide and install the metering equipment at the Customer’s expense pursuant to Electric Rule 2, Special Facilities.

 Installation of approved interval metering and approved metering communications equipment for a Direct Access Customer is the
responsibility of the Seller (in coordination with the Customer’s ESP or its MDMA). The metering and associated equipment must be installed in accordance with Electric Rule 22 of PG&E’s Tariff. If Buyer is the MDMA on behalf of
the Direct Access Customer’s ESP, then no additional fees shall be required. If the Direct Access Customer uses a third-party MDMA, then the Seller shall be responsible for all costs associated with providing Buyer acceptable interval data on a
daily basis, including any additional metering or communication equipment and any additional fees assessed by the Customer’s ESP. Acceptable interval data means “MV90 compatible” Revenue Settlement Quality Metering Data
(“SQMD”) which can be electronically retrieved daily via telephone or modem, an analog or digital phone connection, or an IP address hookup. 
  

	3.10	Notification Equipment and Methods 

 Seller must have:
(1) access to the internet and an e-mail address to receive event notification and (2) an alphanumeric pager that is capable of receiving a test message sent via the Internet. If a DR Event occurs, the Seller shall be notified of the event
using one or more of the above-mentioned systems. Seller is solely responsible to notify its Customers of a DR Event. 
 ARTICLE 4: COMPENSATION; MONTHLY PAYMENTS 
  

	4.1	Monthly Option Premium Payment 

 If Buyer exercises a DR
Event, DR Event Test, or DR Event Re-Test during a Delivery Month, the Option Premium Payment for such month shall be the sum of the Adjusted Hourly Option Premium Payment for such month as determined below and as further illustrated in Appendix IV.
***. If Buyer does not call a DR Event during a month, the Option Premium Payment for such month shall be equal to the product of the Commitment Level and Option Premium Price for such month.

 If no DR Events were called during the Delivery Month, then the monthly Energy Payment is zero (0).

 If one or more DR Events or a DR Event Test is called during the Delivery Month, the monthly Energy Payment shall be the sum of the Hourly
Energy Payments. For all DR Events other than a Day-of exercise for a Direct Access Customer where an SC to SC trade was not performed due to insufficient notification time, the Hourly Energy Payment will be determined as follows: 
  

	 	i.	*** 

  

 17 








	 	ii.	*** 

 Buyer shall not, without having given its prior consent, pay Seller for Delivered EnergyHR that exceeds
*** percent of the Seller’s Commitment Level in any hour. 
 Should, during a DR Event, an SC to SC trade (due to a Day-of
exercise being supplied from a portion of the Sellers Portfolio supplied from Direct Access Customers) not be performed due to insufficient notification time, the Hourly Energy Payments to the Seller shall be based on the above formula and reduced
to reflect the CAISO credit that would be expected to be paid to the Seller’s SC for generation equal to the portion of the Seller’s Commitment Level that is from Direct Access customers DR reduction. ***. Appendix V contains an
example of how the energy payment is calculated for DR Event for Direct Access transactions where an SC to SC trade was not performed. 
 ARTICLE 5: EVENTS OF DEFAULT; PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENT; REMEDIES 
  

	5.1	Events of Default 

 An “Event of Default” shall
mean, with respect to either Party (a “Defaulting Party”), the occurrence of any of the following: 
  

	 	(a)	failure to make any payment required pursuant to this Agreement when due if such failure is not remedied within three (3) Business Days after written notice;


  

	 	(b)	any representation or warranty made by such Party herein is, or becomes, false or misleading in any material respect when made or when made or repeated; 

  

	 	(c)	failure to perform any material covenant or obligation set forth in this Agreement if such failure is not remedied within three (3) Business Days after written notice;


  

	 	(d)	such Party or its guarantor becomes Bankrupt; or 

  

 18 








	 	(e)	such Party consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or transfers all or substantially all of its assets to, another entity and, at the time of such consolidation,
amalgamation, merger or transfer, the resulting, surviving or transferee entity fails to assume all the obligations of such Party under this Agreement to which it or its predecessor was a party by operation of law or pursuant to an agreement
reasonably satisfactory to the other Party. 

  

	5.2	Additional Events of Default 

 ***. 
  

	5.3	Declaration of an Early Termination Date and Calculation of Settlement Amounts 

 (a) If an Event of Default during the initial five (5) year term with respect to Seller (the “Defaulting Party”) shall have occurred and be continuing, the other Party (the “Non-Defaulting
Party”) shall have the right (i) to designate a day, no earlier than the day such notice is effective and no later than 20 days after such notice is effective, as an early termination date (“Early Termination Date”) to accelerate
all amounts owing between the Parties and terminate this Agreement (“Early Termination”), (ii) withhold any payments due to the Defaulting Party under this Agreement and (iii) suspend performance. The Non-Defaulting Party shall
calculate the “Settlement Amount” owed the Non-Defaulting Party as of the Early Termination Date, where: 
 Settlement Amount =
[$***] x [the *** Commitment Level during a year] The Settlement Amount shall only be due and owing to the Non-Defaulting Party if the result of the Settlement Amount calculation is positive. 
 (b) *** 
  

 19 







 ARTICLE 6: PAYMENT 
  

	6.1	Billing Period 

 The calendar month shall be the standard
period for all payments due and owing under this Agreement. As soon as practicable after the end of each month, the Seller shall render Buyer an invoice for the payment obligations, if any, incurred hereunder during the preceding month. 

 

	6.2	Timeliness of Payment 

 (a) Except as provided in
subparagraph (b) or otherwise agreed by the Parties, all invoices under this Agreement shall be due and payable in accordance with each Party’s invoice instructions on or before the later of the twentieth (20th) day of each month, or
tenth (10th) day after receipt of the invoice or, if such day is not a Business Day, then on the next Business Day. The charges under applicable PG&E electric rate schedules will not be adjusted for any Customer as a result of actions taken
based upon this Agreement. 
 (b) If Comverge, Inc. is the sole guarantor of Seller’s Performance Assurance as provided in Subsection
7.5(i) Monthly Payments due Seller under Article 4 shall be payable in accordance with Seller’s invoice instructions on or before the later of the *** day after receipt of the invoice or, if such day is not a Business Day, then on the next

	6.3	Disputes and Adjustments of Invoices 

 A Party may, in good
faith, dispute the correctness of any invoice or any adjustment to an invoice, rendered under this Agreement or adjust any invoice for any arithmetic or computational error within twelve (12) months of the date the invoice, or adjustment to an
invoice, was rendered. In the event an invoice or portion thereof, or any other claim or adjustment arising hereunder, is disputed, payment of the undisputed portion of the invoice shall be required to be made when due, with notice of the objection
given to the other Party. Any invoice dispute or invoice adjustment shall be in writing and shall state the basis for the dispute or adjustment. Payment of the disputed amount shall not be required until the dispute is resolved. Upon resolution of
the dispute, any required payment shall be made within two (2) Business Days of such resolution along with interest accrued at the Interest Rate from and including the due date to but excluding the date paid. Inadvertent overpayments shall be
returned upon request or deducted by the Party receiving such overpayment from subsequent payments, with interest accrued at the Interest Rate from and including the date of such overpayment to but excluding the date repaid or deducted by the Party
receiving such overpayment. Any dispute with respect to an invoice is waived unless the other Party receives Notice within twelve (12) months after the invoice is rendered or any specific adjustment to the invoice is made. If an invoice is not
rendered within two (2) months after the close of the month during for which the invoice was to be calculated, the right to payment for such performance is waived. 
  

 20 








	6.4	Netting of Payments 

 The Parties hereby agree that they
shall discharge mutual debts and payment obligations due and owing to each other on the same date through netting, in which case all amounts owed by each Party to the other Party under this Agreement shall be netted so that only the excess amount
remaining due shall be paid by the Party who owes it. 
  

	6.5	Right of Offset 

 To secure its obligations under this
Agreement *** a present and continuing security interest in, and lien on (and right of setoff against), and assignment of, all cash collateral and cash equivalent collateral and any and all proceeds resulting therefrom or the liquidation thereof,
whether now or hereafter held by, on behalf of, or for the benefit of, such Secured Party, and each Party agrees to take such action as the other Party reasonably requires in order to perfect the Secured Party’s first-priority security interest
in, and lien on (and right of setoff against), such collateral and any and all proceeds resulting therefrom or from the liquidation thereof. Upon or any time after the occurrence or deemed occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default or an Early Termination Date, the Non-Defaulting Party may do any one or more of the following: (i) exercise any of the rights and remedies of a Secured Party with respect to all Performance Assurance, including any such rights and
remedies under law then in effect; (ii) ***; (iii) draw on any outstanding Letter of Credit issued for its benefit; and (iv) liquidate all Performance Assurance then held by or for the benefit of the Secured Party free from any claim

remedies to reduce the Pledgor’s obligations under the Agreement (the Pledgor remaining liable for any amounts owing to the Secured Party after such application), subject to the Secured Party’s obligation to return any surplus proceeds
remaining after such obligations are satisfied in full. 
  

	6.6	Payment Obligation Absent Netting 

 If no mutual debts or
payment obligations exist and only one Party owes a debt or obligation to the other during the monthly billing period, that Party shall pay such sum in full when due. 
 ARTICLE 7: CREDIT REQUIREMENTS 
  

	7.1	Collateral 

 Upon or any time after the occurrence and
during the continuation of an Event of Default wherein Seller is the Defaulting Party, Buyer may draw on the Performance Assurance. 
  

 21 







 Buyer shall apply the proceeds of the collateral realized upon the exercise of any such rights or
remedies to reduce the Seller’s obligations under the Agreement (Seller remaining liable for any amounts owing to Buyer after such application), subject to the Buyer’s obligation to return any surplus proceeds remaining after such
obligations are satisfied in full. 
  

	7.2	Performance Assurance 

 (a) To secure its obligations under
this Agreement during the initial five (5) year term, beginning on the Effective Date and continuing until all amounts due and owing between the Parties at the end of the initial five (5) year term have been paid to the satisfaction of
Buyer, Seller agrees to maintain Performance Assurance in an amount equal to: 
 [$***] times [the *** Commitment Level during the Delivery
Term] 
 (b) *** 
  

	7.3	Return of Performance Assurance 

 Buyer shall promptly
return the unused portion of Performance Assurance, including the payment of any interest due thereon, to Seller after the following have occurred: (a) the Agreement has been terminated; and (b) all payment obligations of the Seller
arising under this Agreement have been met. 
  

	7.4	Letters of Credit 

 If Seller has provided a Letter of
Credit pursuant to this Article 7, then Seller shall renew or cause the renewal of such outstanding Letter of Credit on a timely basis as provided in the Letter of Credit and in accordance with this Agreement. In the event the issuer of such Letter
of Credit: (a) fails to maintain a Credit Rating of at least an *** by Moody’s and at least an *** by S&P, (b) indicates its intent not to renew such Letter of Credit, or (c) fails to honor Buyer’s properly documented
request to draw on an outstanding Letter of Credit by such issuer, then the Seller shall either (i) provide a substitute Letter of Credit that is issued by a qualified bank acceptable to Buyer, other than the bank failing to honor the
outstanding Letter of Credit, or (ii) post cash in each case in an amount equal to the outstanding Letter of Credit within five (5) Business Days after Buyer receives notice of such refusal (“Cure”), as applicable. If Seller
fails to Cure or if such Letter of Credit 

  

 22 







 
expires or terminates without a full draw thereon by Buyer, or fails or ceases to be in full force and effect at any time that such Letter of Credit is
required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, then Seller shall have failed to meet the creditworthiness/collateral requirements of this Article. In all cases, the reasonable costs and expenses of establishing, renewing, substituting, canceling,
increasing, reducing, or otherwise administering the Letter of Credit shall be borne by Seller. 
  

	7.5	Guaranty 

 If Seller chooses to provide a Guaranty of
Performance Assurance to secure Seller’s obligations under this Agreement, it is to be in the form of Appendix VI executed by (i) Seller’s parent, Comverge, Inc., provided that Comverge, Inc. has a Credit Rating of at least BBB- from
S&P and Baa3 from Moody’s or (ii) a third party that has a Credit Rating of at least BBB- from S&P and Baa3 from Moody’s if Comverge, Inc. does not have a Credit Rating of at least BBB- from S&P and Baa3 from Moody’s
***. If, during the Delivery Term, the guarantor does not maintain a credit rating of at least BBB- from S&P and Baa3 from Moody’s, then Seller is obliged to provide an alternate form of Performance Assurance within 5 days of the de-rating
of the guarantor by either Moody’s or S&P. 
 ARTICLE 8: LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION; REMEDIES

  

	8.1	Limitation of Liability 

 IF NO REMEDY OR MEASURE OF
DAMAGES IS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN, EACH PARTY’S LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO DIRECT ACTUAL DAMAGES ONLY, SUCH DIRECT ACTUAL DAMAGES SHALL BE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND ALL OTHER REMEDIES OR DAMAGES AT LAW OR IN EQUITY ARE WAIVED.
UNLESS EXPRESSLY HEREIN PROVIDED, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS OR OTHER BUSINESS INTERRUPTION DAMAGES, BY STATUTE, IN TORT OR CONTRACT, UNDER ANY INDEMNITY

the indemnifying Party’s performance or nonperformance of its obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that neither Party shall be obligated to indemnify the other Party against any losses, however caused, which arise in whole or in
part from the sole negligence, or willful or criminal misconduct of that Party. 
  

	8.3	Remedies 

 The remedies of the Parties under this Agreement
shall be cumulative. The Parties shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided by law, or in equity. No exercise by either Party of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by either Party of
any Event of Default shall be deemed a continuing waiver. 
 ARTICLE 9: FORCE MAJEURE 
 To the extent either Party is prevented by Force Majeure from carrying out, in whole or part, its obligations under the Agreement and such Party (the
“Claiming Party”) gives notice and details of the Force Majeure to the other Party as soon as practicable, then, unless the terms of the Agreement specify otherwise, the Claiming Party shall be excused from the performance of its
obligations with respect to this Agreement (other than the obligation to make payments then due or becoming due with respect to performance prior to the Force Majeure). The Claiming Party shall remedy the Force Majeure with all reasonable dispatch.

initiate negotiations to be held within ten (10) Business Days of the other Party’s receipt of such request, at a mutually agreed time and place. If the matter is not resolved within fifteen (15) Business Days of their first meeting
(“Initial Negotiation End Date”), the Managers shall refer the matter to the designated senior officers of their respective companies (“Executive(s)”), who shall have authority to settle the dispute. Within five (5) Business
Days of the Initial Negotiation End Date (“Referral Date”), each Party shall provide one another written notice confirming the referral and identifying the name and title of the Executive who will represent the Party. 
  

 27 







 (b) Within five (5) Business Days of the Referral Date, the Executives shall establish a mutually
acceptable location and date, which date shall not be greater than thirty (30) days from the Referral Date, to meet. After the initial meeting date, the Executives shall meet, as often as they reasonably deem necessary, to exchange relevant
information and to attempt to resolve the dispute. 
 (c) All communication and writing exchanged between the Parties in connection with these
negotiations shall be confidential and shall not be used or referred to in any subsequent binding adjudicatory process between the Parties. 
 (d) If the matter is not resolved within forty-five (45) days of the Referral Date, or if the Party receiving the written request to meet, pursuant to subpart (b) above, refuses or does not meet within the ten (10) Business
Day period specified in subpart (b) above, either Party may initiate mediation of the controversy or claim according to the terms of the following Section 12.3. 
 12.9.3 Mediation. 
 If the dispute cannot be so resolved by negotiation as set forth in
Section 12.2 above, it shall be resolved at the request of any Party through a two-step dispute resolution process administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). As the first step, the Parties agree to mediate any
controversy before a mediator from the AAA panel, pursuant to AAA’s commercial mediation rules, in San Francisco, California. Either Party may begin mediation by serving a written demand for mediation. The mediator shall not have the authority
to require, and neither party may be compelled to engage in, any form of discovery prior to or in connection with the mediation. If within sixty (60) days after service of a written demand for mediation, the mediation does not result in
resolution of the dispute, then the controversy shall be settled by arbitration conducted by a retired judge or justice from the AAA panel conducted in San Francisco, California, administered by and in accordance with AAA’s Commercial
Arbitration Rules (“Arbitration”). The period commencing from the date of the written demand for mediation until the appointment of a mediator shall be included within the sixty (60) day mediation period. Any mediator(s) and
arbitrator(s) shall have no affiliation with, financial or other interest in, or prior employment with either Party and shall be knowledgeable in the field of the dispute. Either Party may initiate arbitration by filing with the AAA a notice of
intent to arbitrate within sixty days of service of the written demand for mediation. 
 12.9.4 Arbitration. 
 (a) At the request of a Party, the arbitrator shall have the discretion to order depositions of witnesses to the extent the arbitrator deems such
discovery relevant and appropriate. Depositions shall be limited to a maximum of three (3) per Party and shall be held within thirty (30) days of the making of a request. Additional depositions may be scheduled only with the permission of
the arbitrator, and for good cause shown. Each deposition shall be limited to a maximum of six (6) hours duration unless otherwise permitted by the arbitrator for good cause shown. All objections are reserved for the arbitration hearing except
for objections based on privilege and proprietary and confidential information. 

  

 28 







 
The arbitrator shall also have discretion to order the Parties to exchange relevant documents. The arbitrator shall also have discretion to order the Parties
to answer interrogatories, upon good cause shown. 
 (b) Each of the Parties shall submit to the arbitrator, in accordance with a schedule set
by the arbitrator, offers in the form of the award it considers the arbitrator should make. If the arbitrator requires the Parties to submit more than one such offer, the arbitrator shall designate a deadline by which time the Parties shall submit
their last and best offer. In such proceedings the arbitrator shall be limited to awarding only one of the two “last and best” offers submitted, and shall not determine an alternative or compromise remedy. 
 (c) The arbitrator shall have no authority to award punitive or exemplary damages or any other damages other than direct and actual damages and the other
remedies contemplated by this Agreement. 
 (d) The arbitrator’s award shall be made within nine (9) months of the filing of the
notice of intention to arbitrate (demand) and the arbitrator shall agree to comply with this schedule before accepting appointment. However, this time limit may be extended by agreement of the Parties or by the arbitrator, if necessary. The
California Superior Court of the City and County of San Francisco may enter judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator. The Parties are aware of the decision in Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. v. Intel Corp., 9 Cal. 4th 362 (1994) and,
except as modified by this Agreement, intend to limit the power of the arbitrator to that of a Superior Court judge enforcing California Law. The prevailing Party in this dispute resolution process is entitled to recover its costs and reasonable
attorneys’ fees. 
 (e) The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant dispositive motions prior to the commencement of or following
the completion of discovery if the arbitrator concludes that there is no material issue of fact pending before him or her. 
 (f) Except as
may be required by Law, neither a Party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both Parties. 
 ARTICLE 13: NOTICES 
 13.1
Whenever this Agreement requires or permits delivery of a “Notice” (or requires a Party to “notify”), or requires the dissemination of other information, the Party with such right or obligation shall provide a communication to
the other Party’s name and address as shown below, in the manner specified herein.

 APPENDIX VI 
 FORM OF GUARANTY 
 GUARANTY AGREEMENT 
 1. Guaranty. For valuable consideration, *** without condition guaranty payment to Pacific Gas and Electric Company (“PG&E”), its successors and assigns, of all amounts owed to PG&E by
Alternative Energy Resources, Inc. (“Principal”) pursuant to the Demand Response Purchase Agreement between PG&E and Principal and dated February __, 2007 (“Agreement”) in an aggregate amount set forth in paragraph 2 below
(“Obligations”). The guaranty of Guarantor hereunder is a continuing guaranty of payment and not of performance when any amount is owing or when any of the Agreements is breached, without regard to whether such payment or performance
obligation is contingent or absolute, liquidated or unliquidated. If at any time during the term of this guaranty agreement, Guarantor no longer satisfies the definition of “Credit Rating” (as such term is defined in the Agreement),
PG&E may exercise its remedies under the relevant provisions of the Agreement. 
 2. Guaranty Limit. Except as expressly provided in this
Paragraph 2, the liability of Guarantor hereunder shall not exceed an aggregate amount equal to *** in US dollars for principal, plus all interest that has accrued on any amount owed hereunder, to be paid to PG&E, its successors and assigns, and
Guarantor hereby binds itself, its heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, jointly and severally. In addition to the amounts for which payment is guaranteed hereunder, Guarantor agrees to pay reasonable attorneys’ fees and all
other costs and expenses incurred by PG&E in enforcing this agreement or any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this agreement. 
 3.
Independent Liability. The liability of Guarantor hereunder is independent of any security for or other guaranty of payment received by PG&E in connection with the Agreement and is not affected or impaired by (a) any indebtedness of
Principal to PG&E that exceeds Guarantor’s liability hereunder, or (b) any other guaranty as to amounts owed to PG&E by Principal, or (c) any partial payment by Principal or any other party acting under a separate guaranty, or
(d) any dissolution, reorganization, or insolvency of Principal, or (e) any payment to PG&E by Principal that PG&E subsequently returns to Principal pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy or other debtor-relief proceeding, or
(f) any indemnity agreement Principal may have from any party, or (g) any insurance that may be available to cover any loss. Guarantor waives any right to the deferral or modification of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder by virtue of
any such debtor-relief proceeding involving Principal. 
 4. Termination. The term of this Guaranty is continuous unless terminated in accordance with
the following requirements. This Guaranty may be terminated with regard to future transactions; provided that, Guarantor must provide PG&E with written notice of such termination, and any such termination shall become effective no earlier
than sixty (60) calendar days from the date PG&E receives such written notice from Guarantor. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by PG&E, no such notice or termination 

  

 38

other than payment in full of the amount(s) owed or full and satisfactory performance of Principal’s obligations under the Agreements, including without limitation any defense based on or arising out of the disability of Principal.
(d) Until all amounts owed by Principal to PG&E are paid in full, even though such amounts may in total exceed Guarantor’s liability hereunder, Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation, waives any right to enforce any remedy that
PG&E has or may have against Principal, and waives any benefit of and any right to participation in any security from Principal now or later held by Guarantor. (e) Guarantor assumes all responsibility for keeping itself informed of
