Exhibit A

Guaranteed Incentive Program Terms and Conditions (“T&Cs”)

Welcome to the Guaranteed Incentive 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 your local power utility (“Utility” or “Program Administrator”), 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 makes the services described herein available to you as a Generac customer that will participate in the Energy Storage Solutions demand response program (“ESS”). ESS is a performance-based incentive program administered by your Utility (either Eversource or United Illuminating, as applicable). By participating in Generac’s Guaranteed Incentive Program alongside of the ESS program you take the uncertainty out of the estimated ESS incentive payments by letting Generac guarantee your incentive. Generac will monitor and optimize your PWRcell in preparation for and during each ESS demand response event.

For participating in the Program in accordance with these T&Cs, Generac will pay you a guaranteed incentive payment on an annual basis as reflected on the attached Schedule A (“Payment”). The calculation of your Payment reflects the model of your PWRcell and your Utility and is based on project output of your PWRcell’s participation in ESS.

The length of the term of the Program will be either five (5) years or, if you have already participated in a partial or completed season of demand response events through ESS or a similar program, then for the duration of any full seasons of demand response events still remaining in your participation in the five-year opening period of ESS (“Term”). These T&Cs shall be in effect for the time that you participate in both ESS and the Program. The Program will continue throughout the term of your participation in the opening period (years 1-5) of ESS unless terminated earlier in accordance with these T&Cs. To continue to receive the Payment, you must continue to participate in the Program and ESS for the full five (5) years of the opening period of ESS or remainder of the opening period of your ESS term, as the case may be. At the end of the Term, Generac may contact you about future incentive programs for which you may be eligible at that time, including, continued participation in the Program during the closing period (years 6-10) of ESS for a different Payment amount, reenrollment in ESS, 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 demand response summer season (June-September), you will forfeit your right to receive Payment for the current season and for future Payments under the Program, although you may still be entitled to receive performance-based incentive payments from your Utility directly under the ESS terms and conditions if you continue to participate in ESS after withdrawal from the Program.

During the Program, your ESS Program Administrator will initiate a number of demand response events (“Events”) in accordance with the terms and conditions of ESS. In response, Generac will remotely manage your PWRcell to charge up to twenty-four (24) hours in advance of an Event, and discharge up to 80% of the usable capacity during an Event. The participation of your PWRcell in these Events is an essential component of the Program and ESS, and you agree to use your best efforts to participate in the maximum number of your Program Administrator’s applicable Events during the term of the Program. The number and nature of the Events will be decided by the Program Administrator

Generac will use commercially reasonable efforts to send you the Payment on an annual basis within thirty (30) days from the time that Generac receives corresponding payment from the Program Administrator for your participation in Events for the calendar year. Such Payments will be a minimum of the applicable value in attached Schedule A or ninety percent (90%) of the corresponding payment Generac receives from the Program Administrator, whichever is greater. The remaining ten percent (10%) received from the Program Administrator will be retained by Generac to cover the costs of the Program. During time periods without an Event or the end of the summer demand response season, your PWRcell will default to the operating mode that you had previously utilized.

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, the Program, or ESS, may at any time result in: (a) reduction or elimination of your Payments; (b) proration of your Payment for failure to participate in all Events; (c) suspension or disqualification and unenrollment from the Program; or (d) the termination of these T&Cs, and any such results shall be final and binding in all respects and without liability to Generac. Further, failure to comply with ESS may result in your Utility modifying your participation in, suspending, or disqualifying and unenrolling you from ESS.

• You must apply, be accepted into and continue to participate in ESS through your Utility, select Generac as your battery partner, and select for your performance-based incentive to be sent to Generac.
• You must maintain an internet connection (“Connectivity”) to your PWRcell that is sufficient, in Generac’s sole discretion, to enable Generac to remotely manage and control your PWRcell.

In the event of an Interference, Generac reserves the right to reduce the amount of your Payment in accordance with any corresponding reduction of payment received from ESS.
• 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 reduce the amount of your Payment in accordance with any corresponding reduction of payment received from ESS.

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 or ESS; 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.

Limitation of Liability. To the maximum extent permitted by law, your and Generac’s liability in connection with these T&Cs will be limited by these T&Cs, and all other damages or remedies are hereby waived. With the exception of your indemnification obligations hereunder, your and Generac’s liability under this Agreement will be limited to direct, actual damages or costs only. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, IN NO EVENT SHALL GENERAC BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS AND BUSINESS INTERRUPTION DAMAGES, ARISING UNDER THESE T&Cs OR THE SERVICES CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. 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.

You represent and warrant that the information that you provide to Generac during the Program is accurate, complete, true, and correct to the best of your knowledge and you agree to immediately notify Generac if any information that you provide has changed.

No Class Action Procedure.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, class arbitration is not permitted under any circumstance. You and Generac agree that, by entering into these T&Cs, THE PARTIES MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN THEIR RESPECTIVE INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. Further, you agree that the arbitrator may not consolidate proceedings or more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. Although the non-availability of any form of representative or class proceeding is clear from these T&Cs, should any dispute arise regarding or relating to the existence, validity, enforceability, or interpretation of the Dispute Resolution and No Class Action procedures provisions above, the arbitrator shall have the sole and exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine the issue.

Assumption of Risk.You assume all risk of participation in the Program or ESS. Generac is not responsible for any changes in your electricity costs or other costs before, during, or after the Program.

Dispute Resolution.In the event of a dispute between you and Generac in connection with ESS, the Program, or these T&Cs, you and Generac will first attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least forty-five (45) days from when you or Generac notifies the other in writing of any such dispute. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any dispute that cannot be resolved informally within the forty-five (45) day period shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its commercial arbitration rules and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. 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.
