PWReady Program Terms and Conditions (“T&Cs”)
Between Customer and Generac Grid Services LLC

Welcome to the PWReady Program (the “Program”) presented by Generac Grid Services LLC (“Generac”). Throughout these T&Cs, the references to “you” and “your” refer to you as the undersigned Generac customer, participant in the Program, account holder with Arizona Public Service (“Utility”), and owner of a Generac PWRcell™ Solar + Battery Storage System (“PWRcell”) that is connected to the electrical system of your home. Your participation in the Program is governed by these T&Cs.

THIS PROGRAM IS VOID WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW.

How the Program Works. The Program utilizes energy stored in your PWRcell batteries to help distribute power to the electric grid during times of peak energy use. For participating in the Program in accordance with these T&Cs, you will receive either: (i) an upfront discount on the purchase of your PWRcell battery; or (ii) a payment of $4,000, as reflected on the attached Schedule A (“Payment”). The calculation of your Payment reflects the usable capacity of your PWRcell battery.

The length of the term of the Program will be from the date of your enrollment through 2029 (“Term”). These T&Cs shall be in effect for the Term, unless terminated earlier in accordance with these T&Cs. At the end of the Term, Generac may contact you about future incentive programs for which you may be eligible at that time, including reenrollment in the Program or other Generac programs. You are also free to withdraw from the Program at any time by submitting your request here. If you withdraw from the Program prior to the completion of the Term, you will be responsible for returning a pro-rated share of the payment your received or the upfront discount you received on your battery purchase at enrollment, as applicable (“Early Withdrawal Fee ”). The Early Withdrawal Fee will be calculated as follows: Number of Months Remaining in your Term divided by Total Number of Months in your Term multiplied by the Payment. Generac will calculate the Early Withdrawal Fee and email you upon receiving your request to unenroll from the Program. If you decide at that time that you would like to unenroll, Generac will mail you an invoice for the Early Withdrawal Fee.

During the Program, Generac and your Utility will initiate a number of demand reduction and/or load-shifting events (“Events”). In response, Generac will remotely manage your PWRcell to prepare for and perform in these Events. The participation of your PWRcell in these Events is a required component of the Program, and you agree to use your best efforts to participate in the maximum number of these Events during the term of the Program. The number and nature of the Events will be decided by your Utility and Generac. Generac will provide a way for you to opt-out of specific Events. If you opt-out of more than five events during a calendar year, Generac reserves the right to remove you from the Program prior to the completion of your Term. If you are removed prior to your Term, Generac reserves the right to assess the Early Withdrawal Fee.

Participation in the Program will not affect your PWRcell warranty, which will remain in full force and affect in accordance with its terms.

Program Requirements.The following describes your additional requirements for participation in the Program. Your failure to comply, in the sole discretion of Generac, with any of these requirements below or any other obligation or requirement of these T&Cs or the Program, may at any time result in: (a) suspension or disqualification and unenrollment from the Program; (b) the imposition of an Early Withdrawal Fee, as described above, or (c) the termination of these T&Cs, and any such results shall be final and binding in all respects and without liability to Generac.

In the event of an Interference, Generac reserves the right to seek full or partial reimbursement of your Payment.
• You must reasonably assist Generac’s technicians and support staff in diagnosing, troubleshooting, or remedying any problems with your PWRcell, its Connectivity, or any connected component or material system.

Force Majeure. “Force Majeure” means an event or circumstance that prevents Generac from performing any obligation under these T&Cs and that was not previously anticipated or, if anticipated, was unavoidable, is not within Generac’s reasonable control, and not the result of Generac’s negligence or willful misconduct, and which, by the exercise of due diligence, is unable to be overcome or avoided. Events or circumstances on which a claim of Force Majeure may be based include acts of God (such as tornadoes, fires, earthquakes and floods), explosions, war, hostilities, riots and acts or threats of terrorism, pandemics, epidemics, vandalism, civil disturbances, protests or embargoes, or any such event or similar event not within the reasonable control of Generac. Generac shall not be considered in breach of these T&Cs or liable for any delay or failure to comply with these T&Cs to the extent that such breach, delay, or failure is attributable to the occurrence of a Force Majeure; provided that Generac shall use reasonable efforts to minimize the delay cause by such Force Majeure and resume performance of its obligations hereunder. If any Force Majeure event or circumstance disrupts, in Generac’s sole discretion, the ability of your PWRcell to properly discharge and fully perform during an Event, then Generac reserves the right to seek full or partial reimbursement of your Payment.

Release and Indemnity. To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agreed to indemnify, release, and hold harmless Generac and the directors, trustees, officers, shareholders, partners, members, agents and employees of Generac, and the respective affiliates of thereof (the “Indemnified Parties”), from and against all loss, damage, expense, liability and other claims, including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees (the “Liabilities”) resulting from any third party actions relating to your breach of these T&Cs and from injury to or death of persons, and damage to or loss of property arising out of your acts or omissions (or such acts or omissions of your contractors, subcontractors, affiliates, agents or employees) in connection with these T&Cs or related subject matter, including, any such Liabilities resulting from your participation in the Program; provided, however, that nothing herein shall require you to indemnify the Indemnified Parties for any Liabilities to the extent, and only to the extent, caused by or arising out of the negligent acts or omissions, or the willful misconduct, of the Indemnified Parties.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Generac’s aggregate and cumulative liability arising out of or relating to these T&Cs from any and all causes, whether as a result of breach of contract, breach of warranty, tort liability (including negligence), strict LIABILITY, OR otherwise, shall in no event exceed the total aggregate Payments paid to you by Generac in the previous year.

By participating in the Program, you authorize Generac to act as your agent in connection with your participation in the Program, as necessary, and to collect, exchange, and utilize data related to your identity, energy usage, energy production, energy profile, Utility account, Utility rates, home, and PWRcell (your “Data”) for the purposes of determining Program eligibility, administering and improving the Program, and as otherwise permitted under applicable law, including, in connection with the remote configuration, adjustment, and administration of your PWRcell as required to participate in the Program.

SUCH AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE MEANS THAT BOTH PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. The Parties may, in arbitration, seek all remedies available to such Party under this Agreement as interpreted under the laws of the State of Wisconsin. The arbitrator(s) may award costs of the arbitration and fees, including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses of travel to the arbitration to the prevailing Party subject to Generac’s absolute aggregate limitation of liability below. The arbitration will be held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin unless you and Generac agree to another location in writing.

Intellectual Property.You agree and acknowledge that your participation in the Program does not provide you with any right to or ownership interest in any of Generac’s confidential or proprietary information, including, any intellectual property, business plans, strategies, financial information, proprietary, patented, licensed, copyrighted or trademarked information, or technical information regarding the financing, design, operation and maintenance of the Program or of Generac’s services, business, or accounts.
