the Municipality under this Agreement, if the Supplier fails to comply with any of the provisions
of this Agreement for reason other than a Force Majeure Event pursuant to Section 7.1 of this
Agreement or a Regulatory Event pursuant to Section 7.2 of this Agreement, then the
Municipality may give notice to the Supplier specifying that failure. The Supplier will have
fifteen (15) calendar days after the date of that notice to take all necessary steps to comply fully
with this Agreement, unless (a)this Agreement specifically provides for a shorter cure period or
(b) an imminent threat to the public health, safety, or welfare arises that requires a shorter cure
period, in which case the notice must specify the cure period, or (c) compliance cannot
reasonably be achieved within 15 calendar days but the Supplier promptly commences a cure and
diligently pursues the cure to completion. If the Supplier fails to comply within that 15-day
period, or the shorter period if an imminent threat, or if the Supplier fails to promptly commence
a cure and diligently pursue the cure to completion, then the Municipality, subject to the limits of
applicable federal or State of Illinois law, may take any one or more of the following actions:
6.1.1 Seek specific performance of any provision of this Agreement or seek other
equitable relief, and institute a lawsuit against the Supplier for those purposes.
6.1.2 Institute a lawsuit against the Supplier for breach of this Agreement and, except as
provided in Section 6.3 of this Agreement, seek remedies and damages as the
court may award.
6.1.3 In the case of noncompliance with a material provision of this Agreement, declare
this Agreement to be terminated in accordance with the following:
6.1.3.1 The Municipality will give written notice to the Supplier of the
Municipality's intent to terminate this Agreement ("Termination Notice").
The notice will set forth with specificity the nature of the noncompliance.
The Supplier will have 30 calendar days after receipt of the notice to
object in writing to termination, to state its reasons for that objection, and
to propose a remedy for the circumstances. If the Municipality has not
received a response from the Supplier, or if the Municipality does not
agree with the Supplier's response or any remedy proposed by the
Supplier, then the Municipality will conduct a hearing on the proposed
termination. The Municipality will serve notice of that hearing on the
Supplier at least 10 business days prior to the hearing, specifying the time
13
and place of the hearing and stating the Municipality's intent to terminate
this Agreement.
6.1.3.2 At the hearing, the Supplier will have the opportunity to state its position
on the matter, present evidence, and question witnesses. Thereafter, the
Municipality will determine whether or not this Agreement will be
terminated. The hearing must be public and held on record.
6.1.3.3 The decision of the Municipality must be in writing and delivered to the
Supplier by certified mail.
If the rights and privileges granted to the Supplier under this Agreement are
terminated, then the Supplier, within 14 calendar days after the Municipality's
demand, must reimburse the Municipality for all costs and expenses incurred by
the Municipality, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, in
connection with that termination of rights or with any other enforcement action
undertaken by the Municipality.
6.2 Actions on Termination or Expiration of this Agreement. This Agreement shall terminate
upon the expiration of the Term or an Extended Term, as applicable (with the understanding that
the expiration of service for any particular Participating Customer will be tied to that customer's
billing cycle), or the Municipality's termination of the Agreement pursuant to Section 6.1 or
4.1.2. Upon termination as a result of expiration of the Term (absent agreement upon an
Extended Term), or upon termination as a result of expiration of an Extended Term, as
applicable, Supplier shall return Participating Customers to Tariffed Service upon expiration of
the Term or Extended Term, as applicable, on the first available meter read. In the event of the
Municipality's termination of the Agreement prior to the end of the Term or Extended Term
pursuant to Section 6.l.c, as applicable, Supplier shall return Participating Customers to Tariffed
Service on the second available meter read in order to provide the opportunity for Participating
Customers to identify alternate sources of electrical supply prior to returning to Tariffed Service.
Participating Customers shall not be liable for any termination fee as a result of such termination
or expiration in accordance with the preceding sentences of this Section 6.2. Supplier shall not be
responsible to any Participating Customer for any damages or penalties resulting from the return
to Tariffed Service, including claims relating to the Tariffed Service price being higher than the
Price herein.
6.3 Limitation of Liability. Except for the Supplier's failure to provide Full-Requirements
Electricity Supply to Participating Customers classified as eligible for Full-Requirements
Electricity Supply from Supplier who have not terminated their agreement or the disclosure of
Customer Information in violation of the Requirements of Law, or as otherwise specifically
provided herein, Supplier shall be liable under this Agreement for incidental, indirect, special, or
consequential damages connected with or resulting from performance or non-performance of this
Agreement, provided however that such liability shall be limited to the amounts covered within
Exhibit B — Supplier Insurance Coverages.

ARTICLE 7
FORCE MAJEURE EVENTS AND REGULATORY EVENTS
7.1 Force Majeure Events. The Supplier shall not be held in default under, or in
noncompliance with, the provisions of the Agreement, nor suffer any enforcement or penalty
relating to noncompliance or default(including termination, cancellation or revocation of the
Franchise), where such noncompliance or alleged defaults occurred or were caused by a "Force
Majeure Event," defined as a strike, riot, war, earthquake, flood, tidal wave, unusually severe
rain or snow storm, hurricane, tornado or other catastrophic act of nature, labor disputes, or other
event that is reasonably beyond the Supplier's ability to anticipate or control. .Non-compliance
or default attributable to a Force Majeure Event shall be corrected within a reasonable amount of
time after the Force Majeure Event has ceased.
7.2 Regulatory Event. The following shall constitute a "Regulatory Event":
a. Illegality. It becomes unlawful for a Party to perform any obligation under this
Agreement due to the adoption of any new, or change in the interpretation of any
existing applicable law by any judicial or government authority with competent
jurisdiction.
b. Adverse Government Action. A regulatory, legislative or judicial body
(A) requires a material change to the terms of this Agreement that materially and
adversely affects a Party or (B)takes action that adversely and materially impacts
a Party's ability to perform, or requires a delay in the performance of this
Agreement that either Party determines to be unreasonable or (C) orders a change
or modification that affects the Program such that either Party's obligations
hereunder are materially changed, and the change is not deemed a Force Majeure
Event.
C. New Charges. Any material increase in generation, energy, or utility taxes or
charges enacted and effective after the Effective Date of this Agreement. These
charges would not be unique to Supplier's customers, but would apply to all
customers in ComEd's rate classifications. The imposition of such tax or charge
after the Effective Date of this Agreement is not subject to automatic pass-through
in Price, but would only constitute a Regulatory Event if the imposition of the
charge materially and adversely affects Supplier's ability to perform.
d. Occurrence of Regulatory Event. Within ten (10) days of the occurrence of a
Regulatory Event, the adversely affected Party shall give notice to the other Party
that such event has occurred. Within thirty (30) days, or such other period as the
Parties may agree in writing, the Parties shall enter into good faith negotiations to
amend or replace this Agreement so that the adversely affected Party is restored
as nearly as possible to the economic position it would have been in but for the
occurrence of the Regulatory Event. If the Parties are unable to agree upon an
amendment to this Agreement, within thirty (30) days or such other period as the
Parties may agree in writing, the adversely affected Party shall have the right,
upon ten (10) days prior written notice, to terminate and close out its obligations
under this Agreement.

Municipality and from companies with a general rating of A minus, and a financial size category
