				  industry during the relevant time period, or any of the practices, methods, and
				  acts that, in the exercise of reasonable judgment in light of the facts known
				  at the time the decision was made, could have been expected to accomplish the
				  desired result at a reasonable cost, consistent with good business practices,
				  reliability, safety, and expedition. Good Utility Practice is not intended to
				  be limited to the optimum practice, method, or act to the exclusion of all
				  others, but rather to include practices, methods, or acts generally accepted in
				  the region.
"Governmental authority" means any federal, state, local, or
				  other governmental regulatory or administrative agency, court, commission,
				  department, board, or other governmental subdivision or legislature, rulemaking
				  board, tribunal, or other governmental authority having jurisdiction over the
				  parties, their respective facilities, or the respective services they provide
				  and exercising or entitled to exercise any administrative, executive, police,
				  or taxing authority or power; "governmental authority" does not include the
				  interconnection customer, the utility, or any affiliate thereof.
"Interconnection customer" or "IC" means any entity proposing
				  to interconnect a new small generating facility with the utility system.
"Interconnection request" means the interconnection
				  customer's request, in accordance with the Regulations Governing
				  Interconnection of Small Electric Generators (20VAC5-314), to interconnect a

				  modification to the operating characteristics of an existing small generating
				  facility that is interconnected with the utility system.
"Interdependent customer" or "interdependent project" means
				  an interconnection customer or interconnection project whose upgrades to the
				  utility system or attachment facilities are impacted by another earlier-queued
				  generating facility as determined by the utility.
"Material modification" has the meaning ascribed to it in
				  20VAC5-314-39.
"Maximum generating capacity" means the maximum continuous
				  electrical output of the small generating facility at any time as measured at
				  the point of interconnection or the maximum kilowatts delivered to the utility
				  during any metering period, whichever is greater. Requested maximum generating
				  capacity will be specified by the IC in the interconnection request, and an
				  approved maximum generating capacity will subsequently be included as a
				  limitation in the interconnection agreement.
"Network upgrades" means additions, modifications, and
				  upgrades to the utility's transmission system required to accommodate the
				  interconnection with the small generating facility to the utility's system.
				  Network upgrades do not include distribution upgrades.
"Party" means the utility or the interconnection
				  customer.
"Point of interconnection" means the point where the
				  customer's interconnection facilities connect physically and electrically with
				  the utility's system.
"Processing fee" means a nonrefundable cost to administer or
				  file an application.
"Queue number" refers to the number assigned by the utility
				  that establishes a customer's interconnection request position in the study
				  queue relative to all other valid interconnection requests. A lower queue
				  number will be studied prior to a higher queue number, except in the case of
				  interdependent projects. The queue number of each interconnection request shall
				  be used to determine the cost responsibility for the upgrades necessary to
				  accommodate the proposed interconnection.
"Small generating facility" or "SGF" means the
				  interconnection customer's equipment used for the production of electricity, as
				  identified in the interconnection request.
"System" or "utility system" means the distribution and
				  transmission facilities owned, controlled, or operated by the utility that are

				  a small generating facility.
Schedule 2
Certification of Small Generator Equipment
				  Packages
Small generating facility equipment proposed for use
				  separately or packaged with other equipment in an interconnection system shall
				  be considered certified for interconnected operation if (i) it has been tested
				  in accordance with industry standards for continuous utility interactive
				  operation in compliance with the appropriate codes and standards referenced in
				  this Schedule 2 by any Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL)
				  recognized by the United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration
				  to test and certify interconnection equipment pursuant to the relevant codes
				  and standards listed in SGIP Schedule 3 of 20VAC5-314-170; (ii) it has been
				  labeled and is publicly listed by such NRTL at the time of the interconnection
				  application; and (iii) such NRTL makes readily available for verification all
				  test standards and procedures it utilized in performing such equipment
				  certification, and, with consumer approval, the test data itself. The NRTL may
				  make such information available on its website and by encouraging such
				  information to be included in the manufacturer's literature accompanying the
				  equipment.
The interconnection customer must verify that the intended
				  use of the equipment falls within the uses for which the equipment was tested,
				  labeled, and listed by the NRTL.
Certified equipment shall not require further type-test
				  review, testing, or additional equipment to meet the requirements of this
				  interconnection procedure; however, nothing in this Schedule 2 shall preclude
				  the need for an on-site commissioning test by the parties to the
				  interconnection nor follow up production testing by the NRTL.
If the certified equipment package includes only interface
				  components (switchgear, inverters, or other interface devices), then an IC must
				  show that the generator or other electric source being utilized with the
				  equipment package is compatible with the equipment package and is consistent
				  with the testing and listing specified for this type of interconnection
				  equipment.
Provided the generator or electric source, when combined with
				  the equipment package is within the range of capabilities for which it was
				  tested by the NRTL and does not violate the interface components' labeling and
				  listing performed by the NRTL, no further design review, testing, or additional
				  equipment on the customer side of the point of interconnection shall be
				  required to meet the requirements of this interconnection procedure.
An equipment package does not include equipment provided by
				  the utility.

				  facilities. In such cases, facilities design will be reviewed or modified prior
				  to acceptance by the Utility, under the provisions of the facilities study. If
				  the Parties agree to separately arrange for design and construction, and
				  provided security and confidentiality requirements can be met, the Utility
				  shall make sufficient information available to the Interconnection Customer in
				  accordance with confidentiality and critical infrastructure requirements, to
				  permit the Interconnection Customer to obtain an independent design and cost
				  estimate for any necessary facilities.
7.0 The facilities study shall also identify (i) the
				  electrical switching configuration of the equipment, including transformer,
				  switchgear, meters, and other station equipment; (ii) the nature and estimated
				  cost of the attachment facilities and distribution upgrades necessary to
				  accomplish the interconnection; and (iii) an estimate of the time required to
				  complete the construction and installation of such facilities.
8.0 The Utility may propose to group facilities required for
				  more than one Interconnection Customer in order to minimize facilities costs
				  through economies of scale, but any Interconnection Customer may require the
				  installation of facilities required for its own SGF if it is willing to pay the
				  costs of those facilities.
9.0 In cases where system upgrades are required, the Utility
				  shall transmit the facilities study report within 45 business days after
				  receipt of the complete Facilities Study Agreement and the deposit. In cases
				  where no system upgrades are necessary, and the required facilities are limited
				  to customer's interconnection facilities and attachment facilities only, the
				  Utility shall transmit the facilities study report within 30 business days
				  after receipt of this Agreement and the deposit. The Utility reserves the right
				  to request additional technical information from the Interconnection Customer
				  as may reasonably become necessary consistent with Good Utility Practice during
				  the course of the facilities study. If the information requested by the Utility
				  is not provided by the Interconnection Customer within a reasonable timeframe
				  to be identified by the Utility in writing, the Utility shall provide the
				  Interconnection Customer written notice providing an opportunity to cure such
				  failure by the close of business on the 10th business day following the posted
				  date of such notice, where failure to provide the information requested within
				  this period shall result in the study being terminated, and the interconnection
				  request being deemed withdrawn. The period of time for the Utility to complete
				  the facilities study shall be tolled during any period that the Utility has
				  requested information in writing from the Interconnection Customer necessary to
				  complete the study and such request is outstanding.
10.0 Governing law, regulatory authority, and rules. The
				  validity, interpretation, and enforcement of this Agreement and each of its
				  provisions shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia,
				  without regard to its conflicts of law principles. This Agreement is subject to
				  all applicable laws and regulations. Each Party expressly reserves the right to
				  seek changes in, appeal, or otherwise contest any laws, orders, or regulations
				  of a governmental authority.
11.0 Amendment. The Parties may amend this Agreement by a
				  written instrument duly executed by both Parties.
12.0 No third-party beneficiaries. This Agreement is not
				  intended to and does not create rights, remedies, or benefits of any character
				  whatsoever in favor of any persons, corporations, associations, or entities
				  other than the Parties, and the obligations assumed in this Agreement are
				  solely for the use and benefit of the Parties, their successors in interest and
				  where permitted, their assigns.
13.0 Waiver.
13.1 The failure of a Party to this Agreement to insist, on
				  any occasion, upon strict performance of any provision of this Agreement will
				  not be considered a waiver of any obligation, right, or duty of or duty imposed
				  upon such Party.
13.2 Any waiver at any time by either Party of its rights
				  with respect to this Agreement shall not be deemed a continuing waiver or a
				  waiver with respect to any other failure to comply with any other obligation,
				  right, or duty of this Agreement. Termination or default of this Agreement for
				  any reason by the Interconnection Customer shall not constitute a waiver of the
				  Interconnection Customer's legal rights to obtain an interconnection from the
				  Utility. Any waiver of this Agreement shall, if requested, be provided in
				  writing.
14.0 Entire agreement. This Agreement, including all
				  attachments, constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with
				  reference to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and
				  contemporaneous understandings or agreements, oral or written, between the
				  Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. There are no
				  other agreements, representations, warranties, or covenants that constitute any
				  part of the consideration for, or any condition to, either Party's compliance
				  with its obligations under this Agreement.
15.0 Multiple counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in
				  two or more counterparts, each of which is deemed an original but all
				  constitute one and the same instrument.
16.0 No partnership. This Agreement shall not be interpreted
				  or construed to create an association, joint venture, agency relationship, or
				  partnership between the Parties or to impose any partnership obligation or
				  partnership liability upon either Party. Neither Party shall have any right,
				  power, or authority to enter into any agreement or undertaking for, or act on
				  behalf of, or to act as or be an agent or representative of, or to otherwise
				  bind, the other Party.
17.0 Severability. If any provision or portion of this
				  Agreement shall for any reason be held or adjudged to be invalid or illegal or
				  unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction or other governmental
				  authority, (i) such portion or provision shall be deemed separate and
				  independent, (ii) the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to restore insofar
				  as practicable the benefits to each Party that were affected by such ruling,
				  and (iii) the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and
				  effect.
18.0 Subcontractors. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent
				  a Party from utilizing the services of any subcontractor as it deems
				  appropriate to perform its obligations under this Agreement; however, each
				  Party shall require its subcontractors to comply with all applicable terms and
				  conditions of this Agreement in providing such services, and each Party shall
				  remain primarily liable to the other Party for the performance of such
				  subcontractor.
18.1 The creation of any subcontract relationship shall not
				  relieve the hiring Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement. The
				  hiring Party shall be fully responsible to the other Party for the acts or
				  omissions of any subcontractor the hiring Party hires as if no subcontract had
				  been made; provided that in no event shall the Utility be liable for the
				  actions or inactions of the Interconnection Customer or its subcontractors with
				  respect to obligations of the Interconnection Customer under this Agreement.
				  Any applicable obligation imposed by this Agreement upon the hiring Party shall
				  be equally binding upon and shall be construed as having application to any
				  subcontractor of such Party.
18.2 The obligations under this Section 18.0 of this
				  Agreement will not be limited in any way by any limitation of subcontractor's
				  insurance.
19.0 Reservation of rights. The Utility shall have the right
				  to make a unilateral filing with the State Corporation Commission to modify
				  this Agreement with respect to any rates, terms and conditions, charges, or
				  classifications of service, and the Interconnection Customer shall have the
				  right to make a unilateral filing with the State Corporation Commission to
				  modify this Agreement; provided that each Party shall have the right to protest
				  any such filing by the other Party and to participate fully in any proceeding
				  before the State Corporation Commission in which such modifications may be
				  considered. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the rights of the Parties
				  except to the extent that the Parties otherwise agree as provided in this
				  Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF
, the Parties have caused this
				  Agreement to be duly executed by their duly authorized officers or agents on
				  the day and year of this Agreement.
