INTERCONNECTION AGREEMENT TERMS AND CONDITIONS This Interconnection Agreement for Net-Metering Facilities ("Agreement") is made and entered into this day of , 20 , by ("Electric Utility") and ("Customer"), a (specify whether corporation or other) and (“Owner”), a (specify whether corporation or other), each hereinafter sometimes referred to individually as "Party" or collectively as the "Parties." In consideration of the mutual covenants set forth herein, the Parties agree as follows: Section 1. The Net-Metering Facility The Net-Metering Facility meets the requirements of Ark. Code Ann. § 23-18-603(10) and the Arkansas Public Service Commission's Net-Metering Rules. Section 2. Governing Provisions The Parties shall be subject to the applicable provisions of Ark. Code Ann. § 23-18- 601, et seq. and the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Commission’s Net-Metering Rules, the Commission’s General Service Rules, and the Electric Utility's applicable tariffs. Section 3. Interruption or Reduction of Deliveries The Electric Utility shall not be obligated to accept and may require Customer to interrupt or reduce deliveries when necessary in order to construct, install, repair, replace, remove, investigate, or inspect any of its equipment or part of its system; or if it reasonably determines that curtailment, interruption, or reduction is necessary because of emergencies, forced outages, force majeure, or compliance with prudent electrical practices. Whenever possible, the Utility shall give the Customer reasonable notice of the possibility that interruption or reduction of deliveries may be required. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if at any time the Utility reasonably determines that either the facility may endanger the Electric Utility's personnel or other persons or property, or the continued operation of the Customer's facility may endanger the integrity or safety of the Utility's electric system, the Electric Utility shall have the right to disconnect and lock out the Customer's facility from the Electric Utility's electric system. The Customer's facility shall remain disconnected until such time as the Electric Utility is reasonably satisfied that the conditions referenced in this Section have been corrected. Section 4. Interconnection Customer shall deliver the as-available energy to the Electric Utility at the Electric Utility's meter. Electric Utility shall furnish and install a standard kilowatt hour meter for Legacy- Transitional Net- Metering Customers or a single standard two-channel digital hour meter for Non-Legacy Net-Metering Customers. Customer shall provide and install a meter socket for the Electric Utility's meter and any related interconnection equipment per the Electric Utility's technical requirements, including safety and performance standards.

Part I, Standard Information, Sections 1 through 5 of the Standard Interconnection Agreement must be completed by the Net-Metering Customer and Owner (if different from Customer), for the notification to be valid. The Customer shall have all equipment necessary to complete the interconnection prior to such notification. If mailed, the date of notification shall be the third day following the mailing of the Standard Interconnection Agreement. The Electric Utility shall provide a copy of the Standard Interconnection Agreement to the Customer upon request. Following submission of the Standard Interconnection Agreement by the Customer, the utility shall review the plans of the facility and provide the results of its review to the Customer, in writing, within 30 calendar days. Any items that would prevent Parallel Operation due to violation of applicable safety standards and/or power generation limits shall be explained along with a description of the modifications necessary to remedy the violations. If the Electric Utility’s existing facilities are not adequate to interconnect with the Net- Metering Facility, the Customer shall pay the cost of additional or reconfigured facilities prior to the installation or reconfiguration of the facilities. To prevent a Net-Metering Facility from back-feeding a de-energized line, the Customer shall install a manual disconnect switch with lockout capability that is accessible to utility personnel at all hours. Customer, at C ustomer’s expense, shall meet all safety and performance standards established by local and national electrical codes including the National Electrical Code (NEC), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the National Electrical Safety Code (NESC), and Underwriters Laboratories (UL). Customer, at Customer’s expense, shall meet all safety and performance standards adopted by the utility and filed with and approved by the Commission that are necessary to assure safe and reliable operation of the Net Metering Facility to the utility's system. Customer shall not commence Parallel Operation of the Net-Metering Facility until the Net Metering Facility has been inspected and approved by the Electric Utility. Such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Electric Utility's approval to operate the Customer's Net-Metering Facility in parallel with the Utility's electrical system should not be construed as an endorsement, confirmation, warranty, guarantee, or representation concerning the safety, operating characteristics, durability, or reliability of the Customer's Net-Metering Facility. Section 5. Modifications or Changes to the Net-Metering Facility Described in Part 1, Section 2 Prior to being made, the Customer shall notify the Electric Utility of, and the Electric Utility shall evaluate, any modifications or changes to the Net-Metering Facility described in Part 1, Standard Information, Section 2 of the Standard Interconnection APSC FILED Time: 9/29/2023 3:01:28 PM: Recvd 9/29/2023 2:56:41 PM: Docket 23-021-R-Doc. 121 A-6 Agreement for Net-Metering Facilities, in compliance with the Commission’s Net- Metering Rules and the Electric Utility’s tariffs. If the Customer makes such modification without the Electric Utility’s prior written authorization and the execution of a new Standard Interconnection Agreement, the Electric Utility shall have the right to suspend Net-Metering service pursuant to the procedures in Section 6 of the Commission’s General Service Rules. A Net-Metering Facility shall not be modified or changed to generate electrical energy in excess of the amount necessary to offset all of the Net-Metering Customer requirements for electricity. Section 6. Maintenance and Permits The C ustomer shall obtain any governmental authorizations and permits required for the construction and operation of the Net-Metering Facility and interconnection facilities. The Customer shall maintain the Net-Metering Facility and interconnection facilities in a safe and reliable manner and in conformance with all applicable laws and regulations. Section 7. Access to Premises The Electric Utility may enter the Customer's premises to inspect the Customer's protective devices and read or test the meter. The Electric Utility may disconnect the interconnection facilities without notice if the Electric Utility reasonably believes a hazardous condition exists and such immediate action is necessary to protect persons, or the Electric Utility's facilities, or property of others from damage or interference caused by the Customer's facilities, or lack of properly operating protective devices.
