<br />Uplift “No Pole” Rate. For the installation of LED lamps at new locations on existing wood poles (i.e., new
<br />LED installations on existing wood poles not covered by the PES program), the Rate per Lamp per Month as set
<br />forth in Tariff E.C.L.S. shall be reduced by the pole cost in a 30-day filing to be promptly made with the
<br />Commission to establish new rates, as shown in the attached Exhibit 1 for new LED lamps on existing poles.

<br />City, consisting of the number and type of lamps as heretofore and hereinafter provided, together with electric energy
<br />sufficient to operate said lamps continuously from one-half hour after sunset until one-half hour before sunrise, every
<br />night and all night, approximately 4,000 hours per annum during the term of years he reinafter set forth. This includes
<br />the provision and maintenance of a system of distribution to the fixtures, including underground distribution where pre-
<br />existing or where installed at the customer’s request and cost. Said lamps shall be so maintained and operated that they
<br />will give the maximum amount of illumination obtainable under commercial conditions.
<br />Except as expressly modified herein, the City agrees to accept the service herein specified during the term hereof
<br />and to pay therefore at the rates on file with the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (Commission) set forth in

<br />The Public Efficient Streetlighting Program (PES) is an Energy Efficiency program offered by the Company to
<br />offer upgrades to more efficient LED streetlight fixtures to only current streetlight fixtures contracted for by the
<br />Customer under Tariffs SLS and ECLS. The PES program is proposed for approval by the Indiana Utility Regulatory
<br />Commission as part of the Company’s 2021 and 2022 Demand Side Management Plan portfolio of programs. The
<br />Customer agrees to participate in the PES program according to the following program requirements:
<br />a.Existing streetlight fixtures will be upgraded to more efficient LED streetlight fixtures on a one-for-one
<br />basis;
<br />b.Any Customer request for additional LED fixtures (i.e. non-one-for-one replacement), additional poles,
<br />and/or additional wire spans are subject to the terms for such under Tariff ECLS and are not subject to
<br />PES program consideration under Tariff ECLS;
<br />c.The Company will perform a field audit of existing streetlight fixtures to identify and confirm physical
<br />location (pole number, GPS coordinates, etc.), quantity, size, and type of fixture prior to effectuation of
<br />Company provided upgrade services under the PES program; Results of the field audit will be provided
<br />to the City electronically in the format available from the Company. Results of the audit will be
<br />compared to the City’s own data and discrepancies resolved prior to creating the PES plan;
<br />d.The Company’s standard streetlight fixtures provide a color temperature of 4000K. At the City’s
<br />request, the Company will utilize the following LED streetlight fixtures to replace those existing
<br />streetlight fixtures agreed upon by the City to be upgraded under the PES program. Replacement
<br />fixtures for specialty or decorative light types will be recommended by the Company and approved by
<br />the City. The City may at its option, and at its expense, request a sample installation of each available
<br />fixture, followed by a trial and review period.
