8.   To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Customer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and
     its officers, directors, employees, affiliated companies, contractors, agents, successors and assigns (collectively,
     the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses (including
     investigation costs, expenses of litigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred or suffered by any Indemnitee,
     whether or not involving third party claims and whether or not caused in part by the active or passive negligence
     of any Indemnitee (collectively, “Damages”), arising, directly or indirectly, from or in connection with the Customer’s
     electric distribution system or the operation, use, malfunction, failure or defect thereof or the Project, except for
     any Damages arising out of bodily injury to persons or damage to property caused by or resulting from the sole
     negligence or willful misconduct of any applicable Indemnitees or their agents or employees in the performance of
     the Project.

9.   Payment to the Company for the Project in the amount set forth in this Agreement shall be made by the Customer
     within thirty (30) days after the Customer’s receipt of an invoice with respect to the Project. Accounts with open
     balances more than thirty (30) days old are subject to a late payment finance charge. The late payment finance
     charge is computed at a “periodic rate” of 1.5% per month applied to the net balance past due at the end of the
     billing period, after deducting payments and/or credits given. Any partial payments received on past due accounts
     shall be applied first to the payment of finance charges due and then to the oldest past due invoices. Late payment
     finance charges can be avoided by paying the current open balances within thirty (30) days from the date of the
     invoice. In the event the finance charges assessed hereunder exceed the maximum allowed by law, the finance
     charges shall be assessed at the highest legal rate. If the Company shall employ counsel to collect amounts due
     from the customer, then the Customer shall pay to the Company all attorneys’ fees paid to collect the balance.

10. To secure the payment in full of all amounts payable by the Customer hereunder, the Customer hereby grants to
     the Company a purchase money security interest in and security title to all equipment, parts, and other materials
     provided or installed by the Company pursuant to this Agreement and all proceeds from their sale or disposition.
     The Customer agrees to execute such financing statements and other documentation as may be requested by the
     Company in order to protect and perfect the security interest granted herein. The Customer further authorizes the
     Company to file any financing statements and other documentation in order to protect or perfect such security
     interest with or without the Customer’s signature.

11. Georgia Power Company will make every effort to locate existing underground utilities, however the Customer
     assumes full responsibility for, and all liabilities and costs associated with, (a) the location of underground utilities
     at the site of the work, (b) any relocation or removal of underground (including but not limited to rock) or overhead
     obstructions which are not part of the Company’s scope of work and which may interfere with or make more
     expensive the work, (c) any pre-existing, unknown condition which prevents or makes more expensive the
     performance of the Work, (d) permits and required notifications to any governmental entity, and (e) any hazardous
     waste or toxic materials encountered at the site.

12. This Agreement has been entered into in the State of Georgia, and shall be governed by and construed in
     accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia. Any legal action or proceeding arising under or in connection
     with this Agreement or the equipment or materials furnished hereunder shall be brought only in state or federal
     courts located in Fulton County in the State of Georgia, and each of the Parties hereby irrevocably consents to the
     jurisdiction and exclusive venue of such courts and waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to
     the jurisdiction or venue of such courts.

13. If for any reason any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or
     unenforceability shall not affect those provisions of this Agreement which are valid and enforceable.

14. The Customer shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, assign any of its rights or obligations
     under this Agreement; provided that the Customer may assign its rights and obligations hereunder to a lender or
     finance lessor in connection with a leasing or other financing arrangement approved by the Company. No such
     assignment to a lender or finance lessor shall relieve the Customer of any of its obligations hereunder.

15. If the Customer believes that all or any part of the Project work is entitled to tax exempt status, the Customer will
     furnish to Company, contemporaneously with the Agreement execution, documentation sufficient to prove its tax
     exempt status, and the Customer will assume full responsibility for satisfying all tax exempt requirements.
