3.

Meter Reading Intervals:

The Company will read its meters at the end of a regularly scheduled one-month period. For initial/final billings, when the period covered by such reading is substantially greater or less than the regular period, bills

will be computed by prorating on the basis of the actual period covered by the meter readings.

In the event that scheduled reading of meters is not obtained because of inability to gain access to the meterlocation or to installations at remote locations, the Company will estimate the amount of service supplied andfor the intervening months between actual readings the Company will render appropriately marked bills. The bills so provided for the month in which the meter is not read shall have the same force and effect as if themeters had been read for that period, and shall be paid in accordance with the standard payment terms of theapplicable rate schedule.

The bills so rendered shall be subject to revision whenever the customer shall advise the Company of anyunusual circumstances occurring in his use of service between meter readings, or whenever irregularity in useis readily apparent to the Company.

4. Choice of Rate Schedules:

A copy of the rate schedules, rules and regulations, as filed with the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission,is available at the district and general offices of the Company, and copies thereof will be furnished onrequest. At the time the customer makes application for service, the Company will assist the customer in theselection of the rate schedule most desirable from the standpoint of such customer. Any advice given by theCompany will necessarily be based on customer's statements as to the class of service desired and the mannerin which he intends to use the same, and by giving such advice the Company assumes no responsibilitywhatsoever. The rate schedule so selected, as embodied in the customer's application, shall remain in effectfor the contract term therein stated, and not more than one change in rate schedule will be made within any12-month period for any customer. Reasonable opportunity and assistance will be given at any time in

analyzing customers' operating conditions relative to the various rate schedules, but the Company does notguarantee that customers will be served under the most favorable rate schedule at all times. No refund will bemade representing the difference in the charges under different rate schedules applicable to the same class ofservice.

5. Temporary Service:

17/168




6.

Use of Service by Customer:

Electric service shall not be resold by the customer except as provided for in the Company's rate schedules. TheCompany will furnish electric service to the customer only for his use on the premises occupied through

ownership or lease by the customer. The supply and service of electric energy will be furnished to owners,tenants or occupants of any building or premises directly to them as customers of the Company throughCompany-owned individual meters and will not be supplied through a master meter for submetering or resale byor to any owner, tenant or occupant of any such building or premises. No exception to this will be granted unless provided to the applicant by the Company in writing.

7.

Combined Installations:

Delivery service will be supplied to each separate premises as one customer, through one meter or one unifiedset of meters for each class of service. The delivery service used by the same person, firm or corporation, anddelivered and measured separately, will not be combined, and several premises will not be billed as onecustomer. Each meter installed shall be covered by a contract or application specifying the class of service

and rate schedule applicable thereto. These restrictions will also apply to customers having their energyfurnished by an EGS.

Installations combining different classes of service will be permitted only where the use can be registered onone meter and billed on one rate schedule, subject to the rate schedules, rules and regulations of the Company.

8. Application of Rate Schedules - Determination of Demand or Load:

Where the rate schedule provides that the determination of demand or load for billing purposes shall be on the basis of demands or loads established in the current month and a number of preceding months, this provisionshall apply even though during the current month or preceding months a new contract may have been signedor service transferred to another rate schedule.

Where charges specified in the rate schedule are based upon customer's demand or load, it is intended thatsuch demand or load shall fairly represent the capacity which the Company is required to stand ready tosupply. In case of installations which use service in a manner that neither the fixing of the demand or load byassessment, nor its normal measurement, results in a fair or equitable measure of the supply capacity requiredto serve the customer's load, such as welding devices, elevators, etc., then the demand or load may beestimated from the known character of use and the rating data of the equipment connected, or from specialtests, the intent being that the demand or load so determined shall fairly represent the customer's capacityrequirements.



18/168




9.

Increased Loads:

The service connections, meters and other service facilities supplied by the Company for each customer havedefinite capacities, and no additions to the customer's installation shall be made until notice thereof has been

given the Company and the Company's written consent secured. Customer may be held responsible for anydamage resulting from a violation of this rule.

10. Standby Service:

The charges contained in the Company's rate schedules, unless otherwise specified, are based upon acustomer's purchasing all electric energy requirements from the Company, and do not apply when the serviceis used for standby service to any other source of energy.

Standby service is that service which can be used for reserve or in case of an emergency, breakdown or failureof the regular source of supply.

Rate schedules are available for standby service.

Parallel Operation:

The Company will not furnish service in parallel with a customer's generating facilities when, in the opinionof the Company, such parallel operation may create a hazard, disturb, impair or interfere with the Company'sservice to other customers. The Company may agree to parallel operation when the customer has adequate protective and regulating equipment and has sufficient trained personnel to perform the necessary operations,and further, the Company may require the customer to provide direct telephone connection with the offices ofthe Company's load dispatcher.

11.

Billing and Bills Payable:

The Company will issue customer billings for Company services. Billings will be in accordance with existingmeter reading and billing cycles. The Company offers the following billing options:

A.

Complete Billing – One bill for Company charges and EGS chargesB.

Pass-Through Billing – The Company issues a bill for Company charges. The customer elects to have aseparate bill from the EGS for supplier charges.

All bills will be rendered monthly. If other regular intervals are required following the rendition of service forany customer, the Company will first seek approval from the customer.
