Agreement to Sell and Purchase Energy. This is an agreement between EP and the undersigned customer ("Customer") under which Customer shall initiate electricity service and begin enrollment with EP (the "Agreement"). Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, EP agrees to sell, and Customer agrees to purchase and accept the quantity of electricity, as estimated by EP, necessary to meet Customer's requirements based upon consumption data obtained by EP or the delivery schedule of the Local Distribution Utility (the "utility company"). The amount of electricity delivered under this Agreement is subject to change based upon data reflecting Customer's consumption obtained by EP or the utility company's delivery schedule. Energy delivery shall continue to be provided by the Customer's utility company. Customer's utility company will also be available to respond to leaks or other emergencies should they occur.
Term. This Agreement shall commence as of the first day of the
next billing cycle after the utility company accepts enrollment and continue
through that billing cycle (the "Initial Term"). Upon completion of the Initial
Term, this Agreement will automatically renew on a month-to-month basis at the
same terms based on the initial service start date, unless 30 days advance notice
is provided by the Customer. The Agreement will renew at the same terms unless
EP sends Customer written notice of proposed changes to such terms in advance
of the renewal date (the "Renewal Term"). Any such written notice will be sent
at least 45 days and no more than 90 days prior to the renewal date, apprising
Customer of any proposed changes in the terms and conditions of this Agreement
and of the Customer's right to renew, terminate or renegotiate this Agreement.
When receiving service on a month-to-month basis, Customer may cancel or terminate
this Agreement without penalty so long as EP is provided with 30 days advance
notice of termination by calling EP at 1-877-320-0356 or writing to EP, including
his/her name and address, at: Energy Plus Holdings LLC, 3711 Market Street, 9th
Floor, Philadelphia, PA, 19104.
Amendments. If at some future date there is a change in the market costs of electricity or any governmental policy, rule, regulation, or statute whereby EP is prevented, prohibited or frustrated from carrying out the terms of the Agreement, at its sole discretion, EP shall have the right to amend this Agreement and send Customer written notice of proposed amendments. Any such written notice will be sent at least 30 days prior to the change, apprising Customer of any proposed changes in the conditions of this Agreement and of the Customer's right to renew, terminate or renegotiate this Agreement.
Pricing, Billing, and Termination. Unless otherwise agreed to
in writing, the price for all electricity sold under this Agreement shall be
a variable price established each month by EP and calculated based on several
components including the daily spot market cost of electricity plus NYISO charges,
settlement charges, balancing charges, supplier charges and all applicable taxes.
If enrolled in the Energy Plus green option, Customer also agrees to purchase
a Renewable Energy Certificate product for a variable price established each month by EP, to be included in the total dollar amount of the supply portion of the
Customer's electricity bill. EP will invoice Customer monthly for electricity
delivered under this Agreement, as measured by the utility company, and Customer
will pay each invoice in full within 20 days of the invoice date or be subject
to a late payment charge as set forth by the utility company. Customer will receive
a single bill for both commodity and delivery costs from the utility
company.

Customer payments remitted in response to a consolidated bill shall be pro-rated (when so required) in accordance with procedures adopted by the New York State Department of Public Service (the "DPS").

For Commercial Customers only. Additionally, if there is a material adverse change in the business or financial condition of Customer (as determined by EP in its discretion) or if Customer fails to post any required security deposit, then, in addition to any other remedies that it may have, EP may terminate this Agreement upon 15 days' written notice to Customer. Failure to make full payment of EP charges due on any consolidated bill prepared by the utility company for EP will be grounds for disconnection of utility services and commodity service in accordance with NYPSC rules and regulations on the termination of service to non-residential customers, 16 NYCRR Section 13.3. Customer payments remitted in response to a consolidated bill shall be pro-rated (when so required) in accordance with procedures adopted by the New York State Department of Public Service (the "DPS").

Rewards Program Disclosures
Cash Back rebate is an annual rebate program operated by EP. Customer participation in the Cash Back rebate program is subject to the following terms and conditions:
a) The Cash Back program year begins at the beginning of the customer's
first billing cycle and ends at the end of the period covered by the 12th billing cycle. If a customer's account accumulates at least one hundred
dollars ($100.00) in electric supply purchases during the twelve month program period, the account will automatically be enrolled in the Cash
Back program, and the customer will be eligible to receive a Cash Back rebate
in the amount of [ 2 ] percent of the total dollar amount of the kWh supply charges of the customer's electricity bill for residents and [ 3-8 ] percent of the total dollar amount of the kWh supply charges of the customer's electricity bill for businesses during
the twelve month program period.
Within sixty (60)
days after the date of the 12th billing statement, EP will
calculate the amount of the Cash Back rebate for the 12 month period and issue a Cash Back rebate check to the account holder as
long as the account is active and in good standing at that time. For purposes of this program, active accounts are defined as those for which EP has not received a request on behalf of the customer to discontinue (drop) their service. A $50 activation bonus check for business accounts or a $25 activation bonus check for residential accounts will be mailed at the close of your second billing cycle with EP.
b) A customer account in good standing will be automatically enrolled in
the Cash Back program at the conclusion of the account's 12th billing cycle. For as long as the customer's account is active and in
good standing, EP will continue to calculate the rebate and issue a Cash Back
rebate check to the customer within sixty (60) days of the date of the statement
for the 12th billing cycle.
c) A Cash Back rebate may not be applied as a credit or offset to reduce
the amount owed on a customer account. The Cash Back rebate shall have no cash
value until the rebate check is issued after the conclusion of the 12th billing cycle and the account holder shall have no property rights or other legal interest in the Cash Back rebate until the rebate check is received. The customer may not assign, transfer or pledge a Cash Back rebate.
d) Any tax liability relating to a Cash Back rebate is the sole responsibility
of the customer. EP shall not be responsible for resolving any conflicting
claims to the Cash Back rebate.
e) EP reserves the right to disqualify any
account holder from participation in the Cash Back rebate program. If the customer's
account is closed for any reason, the customer will forfeit all existing electric
supply purchase values within that twelve month program period.
f) The terms and conditions of the Cash Back rebate program may be modified
or the Cash Back rebate program may be discontinued at any time without notice
at EP's sole discretion. In the event of termination of the overall Cash Back
rebate program by EP, a customer whose account is in good standing shall be
eligible for a Cash Back rebate calculated on the portion of the customer's twelve month program period to that date. However, in the
event that all or part of the Cash Back rebate program is found to be in violation
of applicable law, then EP shall have no obligation for any rebates to customers.
g) The Cash Back rebate program is subject to the terms of the Sales Agreement
between EP and the customer, including, but not limited to, all terms related
to dispute resolution.
