DUKE ENERGY CAROLINAS, LLC,

a North Carolina Limited Liability Company ("Company"), and

STONEVILLE SOLAR, LLC,

("Supplier" or "Customer"), for the

"Stoneville Solar PV Installation,"

which is or will be a qualifying facility as defined by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") pursuant to Section 210 of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978, consisting of a 9.9 kilowatt REC Solar photovoltaic array and two (2) SMA Sunny Boy SB5000 US grid tie inverters, (the "Facility"), located at 000 Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000.

(Hereinafter, the parties are also referred to individually as "Party" and collectively as "Parties").

In consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the Parties hereto, for themselves, their successors and assigns, do hereby agree to the following:

1. Service Requirements.

1.1 The Supplier shall sell and deliver exclusively to the Company all of the electric power generated by the Facility, net of the Facility's own auxiliary electrical requirements, and the Company shall purchase, receive, use and pay for the same, subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement. If the Supplier will receive back-up and maintenance power for the Facility's auxiliary electrical requirements from the Company, such power shall be provided to Supplier pursuant to a separate electric service agreement under the Company's rate schedule appropriate for such service.

1.2 The electric power to be delivered hereunder shall be three (3) phase, alternating, at a frequency of approximately sixty (60) hertz, and at approximately 480/277 volts.

1.3 Delivery of said power shall be made in Rockingham County at or near Stoneville, North Carolina at a delivery point described as follows: At the metering location of the photovoltaic installation located near the electric service entrance of the business located at 000 Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000.

1.4 (a) The Nameplate Capacity of the Supplier's generating facilities, as defined in the attached Schedule PP-N(NC) is 9 kilowatts, consisting of a 9.9 kilowatt REC Solar photovoltaic array and two (2) SMA Sunny Boy SB5000 US grid tie inverters.

(b) The Supplier shall deliver to the Company throughout the term of the Agreement approximately 9 kilowatts during On-Peak Periods as its "Capacity Commitment" as defined in Paragraph 1.4(c) below.

(c) The "Capacity Commitment" shall be the average capacity in kilowatts the Supplier commits to deliver to the Company during On-Peak Periods through the term of the Agreement taking into account scheduled and forced outages, fuel availability, steam requirements and any other conditions which might impact the average capacity during On-Peak Hours.

(d) The maximum amount of electric power to be delivered by Supplier to the Company under this Agreement shall be 9 kilowatts.

1.5 The Company will install and own such meter(s) as shall be necessary to measure and record the electrical energy and demand(s) delivered and received in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, such meter(s) to be located: At the delivery point.

1.6 Supplier shall provide to the Company, on a monthly basis within ten (10) days of the meter reading date and in form to be mutually agreed upon by the Parties, information on the Facility's fuel costs (coal, oil natural gas, supplemental firing, etc.), if any, for the power delivered to the Company during the preceding month's billing period.

1.7 Supplier shall operate its Facility in compliance with all applicable operating guidelines established by the North American Electric Reliability Council ("NERC") and the Southeastern Electric Reliability Council ("SERC") or any successor thereto.

1.8 In the event the Company determines, based on calculations, studies, analyses, monitoring, measurement or observation, that the output of the Facility will cause or is causing the Company to be unable to provide proper voltage levels to its customers, the Supplier shall be required to comply with a voltage schedule and/or reactive power output schedule as prescribed by the Company. In the event such schedules are required by the Company, the POWER FACTOR CORRECTION paragraph of Schedule PP-N(NC) attached hereto shall not apply to service under this Agreement. If the Supplier fails to comply with such schedule(s), the Company shall have the right to discontinue service and suspend purchases until the Supplier is in compliance.
